[00:00] <zsquareplusc> dmulholland: ssh will of course not compress but the data stream :-)
[00:00] <entwine> somebody to help me :(
[00:00] <rww> PeskyJ: example?
[00:00] <entwine> pfff
[00:00] <entwine> thanks
[00:00] <entwine> for nothing :(
[00:01] <entwine> .off
[00:01] <rww> crunchy_BUMBLE: open up a terminal and do lspci. If you can't figure out from its output whether you have a wireless card, copy the output to pastebin, link it here, and we'll let you know.
[00:01] <rww> !pastebin | crunchy_BUMBLE
[00:01] <zsquareplusc> nbeebo: you need some sort of tray for the applets. but there are apps you can lauch for valume control (alsamixer, gnome-volume-control )
[00:01] <dmulholland> zsquareplusc, im looking to use disown, any ideas what you would replace [jobspec] with?
[00:01] <PeskyJ> rww: I was looking for LiVES - couldn't find it so went to the home page and it says ubuntu users can get it from getdeb.net
[00:02] <PeskyJ> rww: I've never heard of getdeb before, quite new to ubuntu, but seems like the add/remove manager should know about the same apps
[00:02] <alex_21> How do you install songbird?
[00:02] <zsquareplusc> dmulholland: doesn't "jobs" list the backgrounded processes?
[00:02] <alex_21> And how do you set up wireless on an Acer running 8.10
[00:02] <Thirtysixway> rww: thanks. hopefully it's fixed soon
[00:02] <alex_21> ?
[00:03] <zsquareplusc> emilien: ok, then i misunderstood you. i though your usb kayboard is not working but you can type with it?
[00:04] <AaronX> hello
[00:04] <kostavra> hello folks
[00:04] <emilien> zsquareplusc, no you did not , i have a second keyboard which works but i have a new one which dosn't
[00:04] <rww> PeskyJ: oh, I see. Add/Remove Software only shows software in the official Ubuntu repositories. GetDeb is an unofficial website for packages that aren't in the Ubuntu repositories. If Getdeb was used by Add/Remove Programs, it'd imply that Ubuntu endorses it, which it doesn't.
[00:04] <AaronX> I need a bit of help setting up auto login and VNC on ubuntu install on an external HDD which I am not booting from
[00:05] <rww> PeskyJ: assuming I'm reading Getdeb's about page right, which is not certain, because I'm tired right now >.>
[00:05] <zsquareplusc> emilien: ok, so what i meant is, do you see a differnece in lsusb with the new keyboard plugged in and not plugged in? and did you check dmesg's output?
[00:05] <AaronX> any ideas if there is a way to do it from the command line with the install ex3 partition mounted?
[00:05] <nbeebo> zsquareplusc ive got tray yes, but i want to easily be able to easily mix the sound.. i can always use keyboard tho, but i it wouldnt hurt to have it in tray.. ill guess ill ask others thanks for ur help tho
[00:05] <yell0w> hey guys how do i add a new keyboard shortcuts to gnome ? i'm on 8.04
[00:05] <nbeebo> anyone know any sound mixer for the tray?
[00:05] <rww> Thirtysixway: yeah, me too. I was thinking of installing from the PPA the other day, then realized it was down.
[00:05] <I_3Tum> Does anybody know where I can get this system monitor program like shown on the right of this desktop:   http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/79463-1.jpg
[00:05] <rmitchell> yell0w: system | preferences | keyboard shortcuts
[00:06] <msnbot> hello, I want to use mysql devel package in hardy. what is the name of the package. it has the file mysql.h
[00:06] <nbeebo> 1_3tum its conky
[00:06] <zsquareplusc> AaronX: appart from just editing the right files, "chroot" is a great tool. you can even run apt-get on the external hd then :-)
[00:06] <yell0w> rmitchell: conky
[00:06] <Thirtysixway> rww:  I have oo3 installed already, it just says application error when it's loading
[00:06] <I_3Tum> thanks
[00:06] <rww> I_3Tum: package conky in... mmm, universe repository I think
[00:06] <phirestalker> linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic=2.6.27-9.19 and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-9-generic=2.6.27-9.13, what gives? shouldn't the versions match so modules can compile correctly? is this something I did wrong? I'm on Intrepid 8.10
[00:06] <rww> Thirtysixway: right, I know. Was saying I hope it gets fixed soon, so I can install it and you can upgrade to a working version :)
[00:06] <AaronX> zsquareplusc: yeah I used chroot to have the partition map to / so I got apt-get running and installing x11vnc
[00:07] <HRshovinstuff> I_3Tum:  that is a screenlet   google:  screenlets
[00:07] <emilien> zsquareplusc,  yes , i tried lsusb did not pick it up
[00:07] <Thirtysixway> rww: ah there's an update for it for the new kernel.  that makes sense.  :)
[00:07] <PeskyJ> rww: I see.. so how are packages decided to be "official ubuntu"?
[00:07] <AaronX> zsquareplusc: but do you know what files to edit for the autologin and Remote desktop settings?
[00:07] <yell0w> rmitchell: that doesn't give me option to add new shortcut to a new program
[00:07] <zsquareplusc> emilien: sounds like a hardware issue.. did you try plugging in something else in that USB port?
[00:07] <rww> Thirtysixway: not sure it was kernel that was the problem. I forget what the maintainer said the other day, and I don't log irc... but yeah, he's working on it.
[00:08] <rmitchell> yell0w: ah, you'll probably have to do it throught the application then
[00:08] <rww> PeskyJ: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages
[00:08] <zsquareplusc> AaronX: autologin shoud be in gdm's config
[00:08] <zsquareplusc> AaronX: autologin shoud be in gdm's config
[00:08] <HRshovinstuff> Is anyone familiar with the terminal command: renice
[00:08] <test34> I can't get my bluetooth headset to work with ubuntu 8.10.. it is paired but I can't hear or record anything... I tried all devices that were added since I paired the headset.. none work...
[00:08] <AaronX> zsquareplusc: what's the path to that?
[00:08] <rww> HRshovinstuff: a little. What's up?
[00:08] <yell0w> rmitchell: the app does not support it, i need a shortcut to open the program
[00:08] <zsquareplusc> AaronX: sorry..   and the desktop sharing is maybe available in gnomes registry. not sure
[00:09] <msnbot> what is the mysql devlopment package in ubuntu hardy heron??
[00:09] <emilien> zsquareplusc, sorry , lsub did not pick it up as i unpluged "mystrey keyboard" and lsusb was same input as before , usb is fine as the working keyboard works fine from that usb port
[00:09] <zsquareplusc> AaronX: system wide configs a re in /etc or subfolders of it.   btw if you just want a vnc session on a headless box, consider vncserver
[00:09] <HRshovinstuff> i'm trying to give a -10 priority setting to Wow.exe  but i just get errors in return.  I have also tried the system monitor/preference/ and changed it there, neither works
[00:09] <nbeebo> does any1 know a app to change volume in tray? like in windows
[00:09] <PeskyJ> rww: ta :)
[00:10] <Bax> what's the terminal command for moving a folder, its contents including subfolders, to another folder, aka directory?
[00:10] <msnbot> nbeebo: kmix in kubuntu.
[00:10] <HRshovinstuff> nbeebo;  right click on the gnome panel and click Add to Launcher, then go to the volume
[00:10] <rww> HRshovinstuff: what's the error you're getting?
[00:10] <AaronX> Bax mv -rf from to
[00:10] <cylux> drog: Yes
[00:10] <cylux> drog: Flawlessly on the IDE drive
[00:10] <nbeebo> msnbot: i dont use kde but thats a good thing to google with
[00:10] <GodfatherofEire2> Does anybody know how I could modify the gnome-main-menu?
[00:10] <AaronX> zsquareplusc: can I install vncserver from apt-get?
[00:10] <lazukars_> Running program in Wine -- Where is the correct place to store the .exe file.  In this case evernote.exe
[00:11] <nbeebo> hrshovinstuff im not using gnome-panel, but im using gnome
[00:11] <rmitchell> yell0w: www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/assign-custom-shortcut-keys-on-ubuntu-linux/
[00:11] <rww> GodfatherofEire2: right click it and hit Edit Menus?
[00:11] <HRshovinstuff> rww: renice: /media/threehund/wow/Wow.exe: bad value
[00:11] <zsquareplusc> emilien: that really sounds like a hardware problem between the cable and your new KB.  two usb keyboards should work fine i had that too
[00:11] <GodfatherofEire2> rww, not that menu, its more like the one in openSUSE?
[00:11] <alex_21> Hi, I need to run an app in wine that depends on msaa and a few other things. How do I do this? It is called Talking Typer
[00:11] <zsquareplusc> AaronX: yes, even several variants, vnc4server, tightvncserver, vncserver
[00:11] <rww> HRshovinstuff: and what are you typing at the command line to get that error?
[00:12] <HRshovinstuff> rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78185/
[00:12] <rww> try sudo renice -10 -n /path/to/wow.exe
[00:12] <HRshovinstuff> nbeebo: have you tried screenlets?  there is a trash screenlet that I use
[00:12] <nbeebo> does any1 know an app to change volume in tray? like in windows
[00:13] <rww> HRshovinstuff: sudo renice -10 /media/threehund/wow/Wow.exe
[00:13] <emilien> zsquareplusc, here is demsg http://pastebin.com/m5b1a8631
[00:13] <LjL> nbeebo: err... the default volume applet does just that?
[00:13] <HRshovinstuff> rww: yes
[00:13] <rww> ... eek. sudo renice -10 -n /media/threehund/wow/Wow.exe
[00:13] <Mal3ko> dmulholland: is this corrent?: scp mal3ko@example.com -P 1232:~/backup/* mal3ko@serverip -P 6667:~/backup/
[00:13] <HRshovinstuff> rww: what does -n represent?
[00:13] <nbeebo> hrshovinstuff, ops forgot to mention i want it in trayer if i can, multiple reasons...
[00:13]  * rww really needs to never copy paste into irssi again. it never works
[00:13] <knollo14> www.VendettaRulz.kilu.de/Log/Addongegenkeylogger.rar  Hier Ladet euch das Neue Addon gegen keylogger runter
[00:13] <emilien> zsquareplusc, very possible did by it from second hand shop shame really nice keyboard
[00:14] <edju> Every wireless network in the neighborhood, inl mine, is recognized, but I still can't connect.  I thought it was wpa_supplicant, but I changed the encryption to WEP, either open or shared, and still can't connect.  Any hints greatly qppreciated.
[00:14] <HRshovinstuff> rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78186/     still does not work please look
[00:14] <zsquareplusc> emilien: it mmay be just the cable. there is something about not able to enumerate. that could indicate a communication problem
[00:15] <zsquareplusc> emilien: the Buffer I/O error on device sdf1 does worry more :/
[00:15] <LjL> nbeebo: gnome-alsamixer possibly, i don't know
[00:15] <emilien> zsquareplusc, what does the buffer I/o error mean ?
[00:15] <nbeebo> ljl yeah but no gnome-panel.... ill try
[00:16] <zsquareplusc> emilien: looks like there was a write error on your external disk. at least the message is not repeated, just once
[00:16] <rww> HRshovinstuff: hmm. If you know the process's PID, you could use sudo renice -10 -p NUMBER instead. You can get the PID from ps -AH (it's the left-most number in the output)
[00:16] <LjL> nbeebo: if it doesn't have to be GNOME, then there's probably a few options
[00:16] <LjL> nbeebo: the KDE volume applet is a tray applet, for instance
[00:16] <dmulholland> Mal3ko, as i remember the -P needs to go before the usrer@location:~/ but I would try it first
[00:16] <GodfatherofEire2> Anybody know how to modify the gnome-main-menu (the one that looks like the one from openSUSE), specifically the right/system panel?
[00:16] <rww> HRshovinstuff: or, it might be because you're passing it the path, so you could also try just putting WoW.exe instead of the whole path. Or, since it's wine, try wine. Could be a few things...
[00:17] <nbeebo> ljl, yep but im using plain old gnome without gnome-panel.. trying to clean the screen up same time look good..
[00:17] <Tekno> I hear couple static snaps in audio
[00:17] <Tekno> then it drops
[00:17] <Tekno> :|
[00:17] <dmulholland> so it would be scp -P 1232 mal3ko@example:~/ -P 6667 malko@server.com:~/
[00:17] <Tekno> does anyone want to test my stream?
[00:17] <rww> HRshovinstuff: sorry, Wow.exe, not WoW.exe
[00:17] <Tekno> what could be wrong
[00:17] <Tekno> :|
[00:17] <FloodBot1> Tekno: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:17] <Mal3ko> thanks!
[00:18] <HRshovinstuff> rww:  testing....
[00:18] <applegainer> morning
[00:18] <rww> HRshovinstuff: but really, I'd probably just find the process in ps -AH, then do -p NUMBER. It's more reliable...
[00:18] <ravalox> Oy, I just updated from 8.04 to 8.10 and now I have no sound!  I tried removing pulseaudio and I'm still getting no sound of any kind.
[00:18] <coremaster> Hello. I installed a package but the application is not showing on the menu.Can anyone help me?
[00:18] <ravalox> Anyone have any suggestions?
[00:18] <Bax> can I move multiple folders using the command mv -rf?  And isn't the command supposed to be mv -f?
[00:18] <rww> coremaster: which package?
[00:19] <coremaster> a compile: emacs
[00:19] <zsquareplusc> Bax: you can only move several sources to one destination
[00:19] <emilien> zsquareplusc, i think it is my cdrom i get a lots of errors when i boot with cd inside cdrom

[00:20] <applegainer> errro:Could not detect stabilization, waiting 10 seconds
[00:20] <zsquareplusc> nbeebo: maybe oyu should put your question differently or you will always get responses on how to use the gnome applet.
[00:20] <drog> where is the linux "hosts" file
[00:20] <alan_> rww heres the pastebin output. i think it doest have (or doesnt' recognise) the wireless card
[00:20] <rww> drog: /etc/hosts
[00:20] <drog> rww, makes sense -_-"
[00:20] <alan_> rww oops http://paste.ubuntu.com/78187/
[00:20] <nbeebo> zsquareplusc yeah i know but i suck at explaining
[00:21] <applegainer> Could not detect stabilization, waiting 10 seconds,any one can help me???
[00:21] <HRshovinstuff> rww:  thank you so much!! its all about the pids !! awesome!
[00:21] <zsquareplusc> nbeebo: why are you running an old gnome without panel? you can set panels to autohide too, if space is the problem
[00:21] <john> is there something i need to do in 8.10 to enable a com  mouse?
[00:21] <rww> HRshovinstuff: awesome. You're welcome :)
[00:22] <mrwes> re
[00:22] <rww> coremaster: Hmm. Yeah, you're right, no icon. That's odd... You could add one manually by right-clicking the menu icon and clicking Edit Menus
[00:22] <asclepius> hey guys does anyone know how to get a mouse and keyboard to automatically find a mouse and keyboard on startup
[00:22] <rww> !msg | coremaster
[00:22] <asclepius> oops
[00:22] <nbeebo> zsquareplusc, u can see a small part of it with autohide and it feels good to control most in tray, less to think about
[00:22] <alan_> i went and got a cisco aeronet 350 i had laying around and plugged it in, thinking that would fix things. no go. is there a process to automatically detecting a change in hardware
[00:22] <asclepius> bluetooth to automatically find a mouse and keyboard
[00:23] <jose__> iae
[00:23] <asclepius> I just bought a bluetooth mouse and keyboard and i always have to set it up before it will work
[00:23] <forcumang> is there a package for gtk+ in the repos?
[00:23] <axeus> Hello. I just used GParted and resized my Ubuntu Partition, and then installed Windows XP on the new space. And I forgot to backup the MBR. Now I can only get it to boot to Windows XP. Is there any way I can redo the boot record so I can point it to GRUB/LILO?
[00:23] <coremaster> ok tyvm
[00:24] <rww> coremaster: Wow, even weirder. I just did that, and there are entries in Edit Menus for emacs under Accessories...
[00:24] <drog> axeus, yes, boot into the live cd and do a grub-install
[00:24] <coremaster> shouldnt it be in programming?
[00:24] <rww> coremaster: see the little boxes by the entries? Uncheck and recheck them. That makes icons show up for me.
[00:24] <tyler_d3> help mounting an sd card please?
[00:24] <cutterjohn> Hate to bother you guys again, but I tracked down the LCD panel in my notebook to a Samsung ltn154p3-l01, however I find no horizsync or vertrefresh values listed?  Do LCD panels use generic, i.e. same numbers as more or less placeholders?  (Apparently I need to specify modelines because of EDID parsing failure, bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/194760)
[00:24] <Guest59299> how do i change the login screen resolution?
[00:24] <rww> coremaster: nope. Text editors go in Accessories, generally.
[00:24] <axeus> drog: Thanks.
[00:24] <coremaster> oh you are right
[00:24] <cutterjohn> oops that a ltn154p4-l01
[00:24] <Guest59299> after i login it's fine, but the resolution at the login screen is too high
[00:25] <rww> coremaster: though it could be argued that emacs is an operating system :P
[00:25] <antonio_> hola
[00:25] <nbeebo> is there a tray applet to change sound volume?
[00:25] <rww> !grub | axeus: first link
[00:25] <veronika89> sera
[00:25] <mrwes> Guest59299, hrmm... try startup manager
[00:25] <flynch1> Slighttly OT - anyone our there built/using an MSI wind box?
[00:25] <rww> coremaster: did that uncheck/check thing make an icon show up for you too?
[00:26] <coremaster> one sec
[00:26] <crunchy_BUMBLE_> rww sorry that took so long http://paste.ubuntu.com/78187/
[00:26] <mrwes> sigh...
[00:26] <rww> crunchy_BUMBLE_: sorry, I have a brain like a sieve... what was your problem again? You didn't know if you have a wireless card or something?
[00:27] <coremaster> yes its showing now ty very much :)
[00:27] <crunchbang_07> hi

[00:27] <crunchbang_07> what you guys would use to recover data from ext2?
[00:27] <applegainer> who can tell me why
[00:27] <applegainer> ?
[00:27] <applegainer> there are 2 questions:1. (Connection reset by peer),why???2. Could not detect stabilization, waiting 10 seconds, Howto???
[00:27] <forcumang> what's the package name in the repos for gtk+ ?
[00:27] <forcumang> library

[00:27] <crunchbang_07> loss
[00:27] <crunchy_BUMBLE_> rww dont know if i have a wireless card, how to manage wifi networks and hardware configs in 8.10
[00:28] <forcumang> crunchy_BUMBLE_: use mount -f
[00:28] <jose__> iae
[00:28] <forcumang> it forces the mount, then you can unmount it correctly
[00:28] <Guest59299> how do i get to the startup manager?
[00:29] <cutterjohn> shouldn't he run fsckon it first?
[00:29] <zsquareplusc> crunchbang_07, fsck can repair filesystems. otherwise /msg ubottu recover
[00:29] <forcumang> ah yeah sorry
[00:29] <nbeebo> does any1 know an app to change volume in tray? like in windows
[00:29] <Wald1> How do I change the default action for a USB device when it is plugged in?
[00:29] <crunchbang_07> tx
[00:29] <forcumang> nbeebo: there is a sound applet that comes with ubuntu
[00:29] <cutterjohn> anyone on sync and refresh values to manually specify modelines for an LCD panel to override faulty EDID?
[00:30] <crunchbang_07> will try
[00:30] <cutterjohn> are they even needed?
[00:30] <LMJ> hi

[00:31] <crunchbang_07> LMJ: that's even nastier tan mine, sorry :)
[00:31] <forcumang> from any DE?
[00:31] <rww> crunchy_BUMBLE_: okay. I don't see a wireless card in that ouput. To manage wifi networks, System -> Preferences -> Network Tools or wicd (I prefer wicd, because NetworkManager doesn't work properly for me, but ymmv). Not sure about seeing hardware information, but I'm looking...
[00:31] <chetnick> Hi, i have a PCMCIA card that worked on the old laptop with ubuntu. Now i got new laptop which have express card slot. I want to buy PCMCIA to Express card adapter. Is it still going to work through adapter?
[00:31] <rmitchell> nbeebo, how do you have a tray without a panel?
[00:31] <rww> rmitchell: I was wondering that too, but thought I was being dense...
[00:31] <Dr_willis_> !info alltray
[00:32] <crunchbang_07> eheheheheh
[00:32] <shanepardue> How do I change the color of the blank screen that pops up right before ubuntu is fully logged in with my wallpaper and such? I don't see the color Ubuntu is using in the login window settings or wallpaper
[00:32] <crunchbang_07> linux rox
[00:32] <Dr_willis_> rmitchell  theres stand alone system-trays  also.
[00:32] <nbeebo> rmithell, trayer or stalonetray
[00:32] <applegainer> pidgin:Connection reset by peer??
[00:32] <applegainer> why???
[00:32] <applegainer> pidgin:Connection reset by peer??
[00:32] <Dr_willis_> applegainer  you lagged out?
[00:33] <rww> crunchy_BUMBLE_: for hardware information, install package gnome-device-manager, then look under Applications>System Tools>Device Manager
[00:33] <zsquareplusc> LMJ: how are you mounting it?
[00:33] <LMJ> mount /a/dir
[00:33] <rmitchell> nbeebo, i think you'd have to check with whatever app provides your tray, i have no expirence with standalone trays, sorry
[00:33] <axeus> Hmm.
[00:33] <ty> sup people
[00:33] <zsquareplusc> LMJ: so you have an /etc/fstab entry. is it saying ext3 there?
[00:33] <LMJ> wrote in /etc/fstab since ages zsquareplusc , worked like a charme during 8 months
[00:33] <rww> shanepardue: what color is it? brown?
[00:33] <LMJ> yes zsquareplusc
[00:34] <ty> what we talkin bout today?
[00:34] <viaSanctus> i've been told ubuntu is better than mandriva for server systems
[00:34] <shanepardue> It used to be brown yeah, a theme I installed with a script changed it and I can't get it back to the brown
[00:34] <ty> it is
[00:34] <shanepardue> rww:
[00:34] <mrwes> ty: Ubuntu...and ONLY Ubuntu :)
[00:34] <ty> ok
[00:34] <mrwes> heh
[00:34] <mrwes> jk
[00:34] <nbeebo> rmithell, theres more or less a model for all trays in linux, so all tray apps works the same..
[00:34] <ty> Ubuntu rocks
[00:34] <axeus> I'm trying to use grub-install from my GParted-Live CD. I'm getting the results: "grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/". Along with "grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /". I'm using "grub-install hd0". The Device.map looks to be right.
[00:34] <mrwes> wow...openssh-server rocks!
[00:35] <viaSanctus> to be honest..by the shell i wouldnt know if i was using version 1 of the first linux kernel ever or latest ubuntu
[00:35] <axeus> Perhaps it has a bugged version of grub?
[00:35] <viaSanctus> simply want to save myself the comments ;)
[00:35] <rww> shanepardue: It's not System > Administration > Login Window > Local (tab) > Background color: ?
[00:35] <heret1c> is there a system monitor panel applet which is a bit smoother/polished than the default one? shaded graphs, no mouseover "0%"-ing, ...
[00:35] <jenny_Carlos> Ok this is going to sound stupid.  But ive always used Su  or Su - to go root ,  IF I try this in ubuntu I get Authentication Failure?  I dont recall the option to set a root pasword when installing unbuntu.
[00:35] <rww> !root | jenny_Carlos
[00:35] <cutterjohn> sudo -i
[00:35] <viaSanctus> jenny_Carlos, you gotta be kidding me, su - doesnt work in ubuntu?
[00:35] <ty> or sudo su
[00:35] <mrwes> jenny_Carlos, the root account is disabled by default, use sudo
[00:35] <zsquareplusc> LMJ: you may need to play with tune2fs :/
[00:35] <Dr_willis_> jenny_Carlos  use sudo -i or sudo -s, do NOT use sudo su.
[00:35] <ty> ok
[00:36] <shanepardue> rww: No sir
[00:36] <rww> jenny_Carlos: if you need a root prompt, sudo -i
[00:36] <ty> what does sudo su do
[00:36] <ty> dif
[00:36] <Dr_willis_> jenny_Carlos  su dosent work due to root not having a password at all. thus root is locked.
[00:36] <ty> ?
[00:36] <ty> root pass is same as users pass
[00:36] <cutterjohn> it's a security feature
[00:36] <LMJ> yes zamba, tune2fs, gonna force my FS to ext2 and switch back to ext3 and try to mount it by hand
[00:36] <rww> ty: root prompt
[00:36] <mrwes> jenny_Carlos, or try a gksudo nautilus
[00:36] <Dr_willis_> ty  theres a web site that detauls it.. sudo su - is redundant, and dosent set all the enviroment variables right
[00:36] <shanepardue> rww: I know that's where it used to be before Hardy or maybe it was Gutsy
[00:36] <LMJ> brb
[00:36] <PeskyJ> um.. I use sudo su all the time... much easier than typing sudo before each command... what's wrong with using that?
[00:36] <tonibuntu> guys can anyone please please help me find a suitable driver for a multi function lexmark x5410, its not detected in the print configurator ....
[00:36] <ty> oh
[00:36] <cutterjohn> unless you use stupid default confs for sudo...
[00:36] <rww> ty: no, it's not. Root account is disabled by default.
[00:36] <cg_> hi all, I understand the minimum number of disks required for a raid-5 array under mdadm is 3, or could you run it 'okay', albeit degraded, with only 2 disks?
[00:36] <ty> openprinting.org
[00:36] <LMJ> yes zsquareplusc , tune2fs, gonna force my FS to ext2 and switch back to ext3 and try to mount it by hand
[00:36] <Dr_willis_> PeskyJ  but 'sudo -s' is the proper way, (or sudo -i)
[00:36] <ty> not it aint
[00:37] <ty> i use sudo su all the time man
[00:37] <ty> works great
[00:37] <mrwes> nods
[00:37] <rww> shanepardue: Yeah, I'm using intrepid, and that's where it is for me =/
[00:37] <zsquareplusc> !enter | ty
[00:37] <viaSanctus> there isnt even belgium as country option
[00:37] <Dr_willis_> ty  there are issues , you may not have stumbled upon them.. but there are issues..
[00:37] <viaSanctus> sigh
[00:37] <viaSanctus> starts of bad..
[00:37] <PeskyJ> dr_willis: oh ok, ta, I didn't know that
[00:37] <mrwes> rut row
[00:37] <shanepardue> rww: I see a place to set the color, but if you were to change it, it won't affect your login color like it used to
[00:37] <ty> i know
[00:38] <rww> shanepardue: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[00:38] <shanepardue> rww: intrepid
[00:38] <Dr_willis_> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/
[00:38] <cutterjohn> pfft
[00:38] <Tekno> how can I downgrade VLC
[00:38] <mrwes> !info more beer
[00:38] <mrwes> uh?
[00:38] <mrwes> heh
[00:38] <rww> shanepardue: Ah. I remember that whole window was bugged out in hardy. Thought it was fixed in intrepid...
[00:38] <ty> lol
[00:38] <rww> rofl
[00:38] <rww> beer is too a valid distribution!
[00:39] <Tekno> ok
[00:39] <jenny_Carlos> So what is the technical diff between sudo -i and sudo -s ?
[00:39] <crunchbang_07> Tekno, uninstall and then find a deb in sourceforge or somewhere else
[00:39] <shanepardue> rww: Well, that sucks! :)
[00:39] <crunchbang_07> latter
[00:39] <Tekno> tell me another application than VLC
[00:39] <Tekno> i'm so tired of tweaking it
[00:39] <ty> l8r peoples
[00:39] <PeskyJ> Sometimes I see a light-gray border around windows and popup menus, I think it's where the window shadow is supposed to be, is there any reason for this or is it just some random bug?
[00:39] <mrwes> jenny_Carlos, for a GUI root access, try alt F2 and type in gksudo nautilus
[00:39] <mrwes> l8r ty
[00:39] <LF|Irssi> !players
[00:39] <Rioting_pacifist> jenny the affect whose ./bashrc is run and the enviromental variables, man sudo for more information
[00:40] <mrwes> Rioting_pacifist, nice nik..heh
[00:40] <peterm> hi i build a new nic into my pc which is identified by lspci as ,,00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)'' and even dmesg sees her as ,,eth1: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xd400, 00:e0:4c:b0:16:be, IRQ 16''
[00:40] <peterm> but if i do a ,,sudo ifup eth1'' it says ,,no such interface'' :-(
[00:40] <asclepius> Does anyone know how to get a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to autoconnect at startup
[00:40] <peterm> what did i forget?
[00:40] <cutterjohn> jenny_carlos: -i loads the root user profile setup, like su -, while -s doesn't like plain su
[00:41] <jenny_Carlos> Thats for info everyone :).   Ive never used the sudo commands before i dont command line a lot lol newb
[00:41] <jenny_Carlos> Thanks :)
[00:41] <mrwes> nadda
[00:42] <Rioting_pacifist> Tekno: if your looking for a player that will play anything try mplayer (or whatever gnome frontend there is for it)
[00:42] <viaSanctus> never saw a person get so many answers..
[00:42] <viaSanctus> and all the same
[00:42] <cutterjohn> LCD panels, do they really use those nasty sync and refresh values fo rmodeline overrides and/or use generic values common across all LCDs?
[00:42] <mrwes> must be her nik aye?
[00:42] <mrwes> heh
[00:42] <kenvin1982> say  mrwes
[00:42] <rww> viaSanctus: someone wandered in the other day and got mad when about five people told them the same thing. Apparently too much help is bad...
[00:42] <kenvin1982> mrwes
[00:42] <mrwes> yes?
[00:42] <dmajnem> does anybody have a clue as to what would make DNS unhappy?
[00:42] <evaryont_> I'd like to uninstall lirc (and replace it w/ a later compiled version w/ a few patches) w/o uninstalling mythbuntu-lirc-generator (which lists lirc as a dependency)
[00:42] <kenvin1982> mrwes
[00:43] <mrwes> hrmmm
[00:43] <viaSanctus> i think it has more to do with "jenny"
[00:43] <viaSanctus> i mean
[00:43] <viaSanctus> how many women are here?
[00:43] <cutterjohn> clinet or server DNS?  If server have fun...
[00:43] <viaSanctus> ask a q, let her ask the q
[00:43] <mrwes>  /ignore kenvin1982
[00:43] <mrwes> er
[00:43] <viaSanctus> and then add it to bash.org
[00:43] <dmajnem> cutterjohn: client
[00:43] <nbeebo> im a girl tihihihihihih ^_^ not
[00:43] <rww> viaSanctus: #ubuntu-women :P
[00:44] <asclepius> anyone know how to see the bluetooth numbers instead of the name?
[00:44] <LjL> !offtopic
[00:44] <mrwes> rut row
[00:44] <exodus_ms> how come I can use xchat but my firefox cannot connect to internet?
[00:44] <cutterjohn> dmajnew: does nslookup and/or other DNS access CLi tools work?
[00:44] <viaSanctus> ok sorry...please join me to offtopic, to discuss this very important subject :p
[00:44] <cutterjohn> dmajnew: e.g. dig
[00:44] <zsquareplusc> exodus_ms: have oyu set a proxy?
[00:44]  * viaSanctus sighs
[00:45] <dmajnem> cutterjohn: nslookup is unhappy
[00:45] <jose__> hilton
[00:45] <cutterjohn> dmajnew: how?
[00:45] <Hilton> fala jose
[00:45] <dmajnem> all it does is hang there
[00:45] <martyd> can anyone explain what "mv * .." would perform?
[00:45] <dmajnem> as does dig
[00:45] <exodus_ms> zsquareplusc, no, I have had ff and xchat runnin all day. closed ff and now i cant get a connection
[00:45] <m1dn1ght> Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy?  I'm following instructions but after typing password I'm getting the error: "Not a WEBDAV-enabled share" (I'm going to Places > Connect to Server and putting in the details there)
[00:45] <LjL> !pt | Hilton
[00:45] <dmajnem> dig finally returned: "connect timed out; no servers could be reached"
[00:45] <zsquareplusc> exodus_ms: set it to offline mode?
[00:46] <cutterjohn> dmajnew: you can use the server command in nslookup to attempt to use another server foir the lookup... if it works, whatever DNS server you're trying to use is likely misconfigured or down
[00:46] <Yahovah> exodus_ms: I don't believe that is expected behavior with recent versions.
[00:46] <LF|Irssi> martyd: be really careful when someone tails you to perform 'mv or rm' commands
[00:46] <Hilton> vou tentar
[00:46] <LF|Irssi> tells*
[00:46] <Yahovah> dmajnem: Just use dig.
[00:46] <rww> martyd: move all files and directories in the current directory into the one higher up in the current path. For example, if I were in ~/test/test2 and did that, everything in test2 would end up in test
[00:46] <nbeebo> so.. anyone know any tray application for changing the sound??? like in winblows
[00:47] <Yahovah> nbeebo: Alsamixer
[00:47] <martyd> LF|Irssi, thanks. that's exactly what i need to do :)
[00:47] <exodus_ms> Yahovah, i would not expect it either...
[00:47] <h4x0r> when i change to normal my visual effects everything opens to the left what can i do?
[00:47] <mrwes> Is there anyway to save login information when using openssh-server, or do I have to type the server name in everytime I connect?
[00:47] <LF|Irssi> martyd: i think you need to thank rww not me :)
[00:48] <exodus_ms> zsquareplusc, no
[00:48] <Yahovah> mrwes: Look up ssh keys. Specifically ssh-keygen
[00:48] <dmajnem> cutterjohn: how?
[00:48] <martyd> rww, thank you also! :)
[00:48] <mrwes> Yahovah, uh?
[00:48] <runelind> helping a friend install ubuntu and when we enabled the nvidia drivers and rebooted, x11 won't start.  I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure x11-xorg but that doesn't seem to resolve the issue
[00:48] <rww> mrwes: to avoid typing in the server name, look in man ssh_config
[00:48] <runelind> how can I repair xorg?
[00:48] <rww> martyd: you're welcome :)
[00:48] <Maveas> What is the cmd tasksel?
[00:48] <mrwes> rww: Ok
[00:48] <Dr_willis_> mrwes  just make an alias that does 'ssh whatever'
[00:48] <nbeebo> yahovah so hows that a tray application?
[00:48] <h4x0r>  when i change to normal my visual effects everything opens to the left what can i do?
[00:48] <Hilton> Jose
[00:48] <PeskyJ> is there a shortcut key to change themes? My kids somehow managed to break all the theme settings and things went pretty straing, but selecting human again seemed to fix it, though all the Compiz settings were reset!
[00:48] <bzampieri> oi
[00:49] <rww> mrwes: you'd make a host block named with a shortcut name, then set HostName to the actual name
[00:49] <exodus_ms> Yahovah, could you explain?
[00:49] <Yahovah> exodus_ms: Explain what?
[00:49] <Cavisty^gerber> Is there any way to boot a windows HD in an entirely different computer?
[00:50] <Yahovah> Cavisty^gerber: XP/Vista may complain about activation.
[00:50] <Flannel> Cavisty^gerber: You should ask in ##windows
[00:50] <rww> !windows | Cavisty^gerber
[00:50] <nbeebo> cavisty^gerber little offtopic but u theres guides to run windows from ur hd in a virtual computer like virtualbox
[00:50] <h4x0r>  when i change to normal my visual effects everything opens to the left what can i do?
[00:50] <jose__> hli
[00:50] <rww> mrwes: and if you need to save passwords too, look up ssh-keygen as Yahovah said
[00:51] <jose__> hilton
[00:51] <h4x0r> does that happen to anybody?
[00:51] <jose__> hilton
[00:51] <Maveas> Is there any way I can mount and virtualize my XP partion?
[00:51] <shade34321> does anybody know how to do a manual install of ubuntu that can walk me through it?
[00:51] <ryty> if there are more than one scripts with say S20facilityname inside of /etc/rc3.d, how does init determine which one to call first?
[00:52] <ryty> does it go alphabetically?
[00:52] <Dr_willis_> Maveas  it can be done in vmware i recall.. but not recomended.   ive not tried it in ages...
[00:52] <nbeebo> shade34321 theres a billion guides tho
[00:52] <h4x0r> shade34 whats if your problem installing ubuntu
[00:52] <asclepius> how do you find the mac address of a keyboard
[00:52] <Dr_willis_> ryty  whats the exact names? it does them in order I reccall
[00:52] <h4x0r> i help you out
[00:52] <rww> ryty: depends on the value of CONCURRENCY. If it matters which order they go in, you really should fix the numbers.
[00:52] <shade34321> im trying to find them....but none of them seem to work....last time it messed up my xp partition
[00:52] <m1dn1ght> Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy?  I'm following instructions but after typing password I'm getting the error: "Not a WEBDAV-enabled share" (I'm going to Places > Connect to Server and putting in the details there)
[00:52] <ryty> Dr_willis_: it's complicated, I want to add my own
[00:53] <shade34321> right now im in gparted trying to set up my ubuntu partition with a swap
[00:53] <Flannel> shade34321: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[00:53] <ryty> rww: that's what I was thinking
[00:53] <shade34321> thanks
[00:53] <Dr_willis_> ryty   read that README thats in the  directory (or was it in /etc/rc.d/) it explains the ##. dependng on what you need to do.. give it a proper # to start up at a specicc order in the strtuo
[00:54] <asclepius> how do you make ubuntu automatically log you in, instead of making me type in my username
[00:54] <shad0w0fsin> hey everyone, I was looking through my dmesg trying to find things that took up alot of time and I found this line "NET: Registered protocol family 17" _ does anyone know what this does?
[00:54] <rww> ryty: for a while, dbus and hal had the same number... was a huge headache if people set CONCURRENCY=shell in /etc/init.d/rc...
[00:54] <Yahovah> shad0w0fsin: Don't worry about it.
[00:54] <rww> asclepius: System > Administration > Login Window > Security tab > Enable Automatic Login
[00:55] <Bax> what's the terminal command to delete a folder and all of its subfolders and contents within?
[00:55] <Yahovah> Bax: rm -r
[00:55] <rww> Bax: rm -r. If you get errors, sudo rm -r, or sudo rm -rf
[00:56] <dmajnem> cutterjohn: ?
[00:56] <ryty> time to test. Thanks rww and Dr_willis_
[00:56] <nbeebo> !rm
[00:56] <rww> Bax: before you issue such commands, triple-check that you entered them right... I say this from experience...
[00:56] <shade34321> why not use rmdir?
[00:56] <shade34321> it's job is to remove directories
[00:56] <asclepius> thanks rww
[00:56]  * zsquareplusc always shrugs when ppl sugest to use rm -r just one little space at the wrong place there there it is, your lost data nightmare
[00:56] <Bax> shade34321:  try it on a directory that's not empty
[00:56] <mrwes> rww: with an ssh alias in the config file, it's better to have a static IP ?
[00:56] <Yahovah> shade34321: rmdir doesn't do what you think it does.
[00:57] <shade34321> ok...i just manned it
[00:57] <shade34321> i see that it's only for empty directories...
[00:57] <Thirtysixway> in php can I use a  foreach inside of another foreach?
[00:57] <shade34321> when setting up a swap partition...does it need to be a primariy partition or extended?
[00:57] <rww> mrwes: not sure what you mean. Can you rephrase the question?
[00:57] <rww> shade34321: doesn't matter
[00:57] <thuan> toi la thuan, toi den tu vietnam
[00:57] <shade34321> ok
[00:57] <LF|Irssi> !English
[00:57] <Dr_willis_> shade34321  extended partitions hold logical.. swap can be a primary or logical.. and it dosent matter
[00:58] <shade34321> ok
[00:58] <Dr_willis_> shade34321  i tend to use swap if possible.
[00:58] <shade34321> thanks
[00:58] <Dr_willis_> shade34321  i tend to use Primarys :) if possible.
[00:58] <mrwes> rww: Ok...I setup my ~/.ssh/config file with my desktop, but if I'm using DHCP won't the IP change..potentially
[00:58] <savage> quick question: I (as a regular user) can mount this NTFS partition, but I can only view the files as root
[00:58] <Yahovah> mrwes: Yes. Set up a static assignment with your DHCPd.
[00:58] <mrwes> Yahovah, Ok...that's what I thought...thanks
[00:58] <zsquareplusc> savage: missed the uid/gid options in fstab?
[00:58] <thuan> co bac nao den tu viet nam khong?
[00:59] <rww> mrwes: what Yahovah said, or set up a dynamic DNS thingie like DynDNS
[00:59] <rww> mrwes: (I forget the technical term for them...)
[00:59] <m1dn1ght> mrwes: I use the no-ip service to get around that - my ISP has me on a dynamic ISP so the I set up an account and installed the noip2 package which updates them with my new IP automatically so I can just connect to a hostname
[00:59] <savage> zsquareplusc: what do you mean exactly?
[00:59] <Yahovah> mrwes: Is this a WAN or LAN address?
[01:00] <savage> zsquareplusc>:/dev/sda2       /mnt/hd         ntfs    auto,users      0       0
[01:00] <m1dn1ght> mrwes: err - dynamic IP address I mean
[01:00] <zsquareplusc> savage: without uid/gid the file permissions will be mapped to root. you have to map them to yourself
[01:00] <nbeebo> so.. anyone know any tray application for changing the sound??? like in winblows
[01:00] <rww> zsquareplusc: how do you do that? uid=username,gid=groupname?
[01:00] <Mal3ko> how do we check system log, security logs etc..ssh bruteforce attack?
[01:01] <Dr_willis_> nbeebo  clarify 'changing the sound'  You mean changing the volume?
[01:01] <Yahovah> Mal3ko: syslogd
[01:01] <zsquareplusc> rww: savage yes, like that, appended after users,..
[01:01] <nbeebo> dr_willis_ yeah ill chance asap
[01:01] <mrwes> Yahovah, LAN...from a router
[01:01] <mrwes> Yahovah, how do I do that in 8.10?
[01:01] <mrwes> static IP that is
[01:01] <nbeebo> dr_willis_ change*
[01:01] <Mal3ko> Yahovah: yea but i need to see the logs
[01:01] <Yahovah> mrwes: Okay, no-ip/dyndns won't work then. They both block IANA private space.
[01:01] <tripitakit> Mal3ko, system/administration/..
[01:02] <Dr_willis_> nbeebo  theres a volume controll gnome panel applet   :) its there in the add to panel applet dialogs
[01:02] <savage> awesome thank you zsquare
[01:02] <cutterjohn> well, I just had the weirdest thing happen, like a key got stuck on the keyboard that wouldn't free up, kept repeating d, mouse not responding no hw buttons responding, had to go to AC gank the battery then the AC...
[01:02] <Mal3ko> tripitakit: ubuntu server here
[01:02] <savage> just added uid=##
[01:02] <mrwes> Yahovah, I have static on my desktop running 8.04, but not on my laptop running 8.10
[01:02] <Yahovah> mrwes: Static leases are controlled by the DHCPd. You'll want to configure it there. Alternatively, you can change your Ubuntu box to a static IP with system -> administration -> network in GNOME.
[01:02] <savage> take care everyone
[01:02] <tripitakit> Mal3ko, ops sorry, /var/log/...
[01:02] <nbeebo> dr_willis_ yep i should add that too.. im not using and desktop panel..
[01:02] <mrwes> Yahovah, ok
[01:03] <rww> zsquareplusc: is there a way to set it so that /any/ user can mount, not just one (assuming setting uid=username makes it so only username can read stuff...)
[01:03] <Yahovah> mrwes: I would change it on the DHCPd (router) if possible, though. It's seamless.
[01:03] <cutterjohn> (wouldn't even suspend...)
[01:03] <zsquareplusc> rww: that's what groups are for. you can also set the m world readable, but who wants that ;-)
[01:03] <mrwes> Yahovah,  Oh...I've never done that on a router
[01:03] <Dr_willis_> nbeebo  run a  systray tool then if you must have such a icon.. or one of the windowmaker dock apps.. or perhaps  some of the gdesklets/applets tools...
[01:04] <shanepardue> rww: I managed to change the color by changing the login window theme then back to the default again. Could you provide the # of the default login window background color?
[01:04] <rww> zsquareplusc: good point. thanks :)
[01:04] <Yahovah> mrwes: It just makes the router give certain IPs to certain mac addresses. Static DHCP leases.

[01:07] <Azizco910> i need internetzzz
[01:07] <rww> Azizco910: the people here are volunteers, not your paid employees
[01:07] <maybeway36> wireless is hard in linux
[01:07] <cutterjohn> omg---bbq?!
[01:08] <Dr_willis_> nbeebo  stalonetray    seems to work very well.. but  the issue is i guess you want a 'not a gnome panel applet' mixer utility.  that runs in the system tray. :)
[01:08] <rww> !lol    ( :P )
[01:08] <tripitakit> Azizco910, what wifi card ?
[01:08] <rww> !lol | oh wait no i lied
[01:09] <heret1c> is there a system monitor panel applet which is a bit smoother/polished than the default one? shaded graphs, no mouseover "0%"-ing, ...
[01:09] <Dr_willis_> nbeebo  xfce may have such a tool.
[01:09] <nbeebo> dr_willis_ personally i use trayer, got lots of run commands and stuff... so my vision is to use only that, avant window manager, conky and ttm2
[01:09] <Azizco910> Tripitakit
[01:09] <Jophish> hi all
[01:09] <Azizco910> Tripitakit hang on
[01:09] <brut-> g'day everyone
[01:09] <PeskyJ> hum.. the numeric keypad keys won't type numbers regardless of numlock state - any idea how to fix this?
[01:09] <GleepGlop> how do i stop ubuntu from automounting HFS+  partitions
[01:09] <nbeebo> dr_willis_ hmm maybe
[01:09] <ghang> Hi , my mplayer play with vn code , how can I set it to become x11 code?
[01:09] <Dr_willis_> nbeebo  i recall awm havin some sort of systray thing.. but i found awm  so flakey it was unuseable.
[01:10] <black_13> is it possible to run xorg in a chroot?
[01:10] <zsquareplusc> PeskyJ: shift+ctrl+numlock
[01:10] <cutterjohn> hey, guys do you think that the above from the syslog might've been the cause for my hardlock(sort of IRC kept scrolling new messages but no mouse, no hw keys, no suspend, etc.)? Had to pull the battery then AC to get out of it after trying evrytthing else that I could think of
[01:10] <Jophish> I seem to have messed up my keyboard layout, and nothing I can do can gt it back to how it was before
[01:10] <Jophish> there is nothing about my keyboard in xorg
[01:10] <PeskyJ> zsquareplusc: wow, thanks :) what feature is that?
[01:10] <brut-> quick question: anyone else run into the forcedeth driver glitch with ubuntu and the latest kernel they're pushing down (2.6.27-9)? My ethernet card keep dropping out after a few hours with that classic forcedeth glitch, but I didn't have this bug with my old install...
[01:10] <Azizco910> (CPU) Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz, x86 Family 6 Model 13 Stepping 8, GenuineIntel - Central Processor - Load: %100 - 1729 Mhz
[01:10] <nbeebo> dr_willis_ yes the applets are useless, but im using it for launchers... well for now ill just use keyboard or desklets... thanks anyway :)
[01:10] <Jophish> and setting it using keyboard, in preferences does nothing
[01:10] <zsquareplusc> PeskyJ: keyboard mouse. type the keys again and hold KP 4
[01:10] <Azizco910> nvm
[01:11] <Yahovah> brut-: modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0
[01:11] <ghang> ﻿Hi , my mplayer play with xn code , how can I set it to become x11 code?      my smplayer cannot play with my external soundcard , where to set the sound output ?
[01:11] <Azizco910> Tripitakit dell wireless 1370 wlan mini-pci card
[01:11] <PeskyJ> zsquareplusc: yeah, they move the mouse instead - another thing the kids must have accidentally switched on :/
[01:11] <GleepGlop> I guess I can blacklist the HFS module
[01:12] <codemaster|livec> hey guys, i'm trying to resize a partition on my RAID array and im getting this error when i try to mount a partition - "mount: unknown filesystem type 'nvidia_raid_member'"
[01:12] <brut-> Yahovah, I'll give that a try..., I assume I can dump that into something in /etc/modules.d so it'll use those settings on boot?
[01:12] <phantomcircuit_> The software that comes with my hp scanner can scan printed text and run OCR on it and get a reasonably accurate transcript, is there an equivolent program for ubuntu?
[01:12] <tripitakit> Azizco910, pls hang on a minute
[01:12] <zsquareplusc> PeskyJ: make them a separate account so you can delete .gnome each time to get defaults again ;-)
[01:12] <Azizco910> ok
[01:12] <Dr_willis_> !ocr
[01:12] <JiMiGj_Uk\Busy> hi i am looking for typesizes.h on ubuntu
[01:12] <PeskyJ> phantomcircuit_: xsane which comes installed
[01:12] <linux_> jose
[01:13] <Dr_willis_> !find typesizes.h
[01:13] <cutterjohn> oh, and a n00b from notebook point oof view, I didn't see it run fsck or the ext3 check on reboot would that be normal recovery from powerloss even for a notebook?
[01:13] <MacOS> hi to all
[01:13] <phantomcircuit_> PeskyJ, all i got was jibberish :|
[01:13] <Yahovah> brut-: Yeah, I just put modprobe -r forcedeth;modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix in /etc/init.d/networking.
[01:13] <codemaster|livec> JiMiGj_Uk\Busy: /usr/include/bits/typesizes.h
[01:13] <JiMiGj_Uk\Busy> let me try
[01:13] <JiMiGj_Uk\Busy> thanks
[01:13] <MacOS> Anyone can tell when xVM VirtualBox will support SMP?
[01:14] <cutterjohn> er nm, according to syslog it did run silently...
[01:14] <brut-> Yahovah, ah, good idea. I'll have to put it at the top of that as I've got some vbox tunneling interfaces that get fired up on boot as well, but I'll try it that way. Thanks mate.
[01:14] <weasel__> dfgbd
[01:14] <weasel__> !list
[01:14] <rww> MacOS: ask in #vbox
[01:14] <MacOS> rww: i already did that
[01:14] <mrwes> Yahovah, Ok..I found it on the router..under device list and I just clicked assign static iP...pretty easy
[01:16] <MacOS> well...thanks to ubuntu team....ADSL pen works great
[01:16] <m1dn1ght> Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy?  I'm following instructions but after typing password I'm getting the error: "Not a WEBDAV-enabled share" (I'm going to Places > Connect to Server and putting in the details there)
[01:16] <v4vijayakumar> hi, something is really wrong with transmission client. It should have downloaded 650 MB in 7 hours (256 kbps) connection, but even after 10 hours of download I have got only one third (270 MB) of it. do I have any other option other than transmission..?
[01:17] <rww> v4vijayakumar: try deluge-torrent. I had similar problems with transmission and use that instead.
[01:17] <rww> !torrent | v4vijayakumar: full list of torrent clients
[01:17] <cylux> Hey guys. I'm having trouble playing back HD from my SATA drive but it plays perfectly if I run it from my local IDE. Any ideas?
[01:18] <v4vijayakumar> thanks rww, :)
[01:18] <rww> Anyone happen to know where the configuration files for GNOME's menu are? I know I can right-click > Edit Menus, but am wondering where the configuration is stored...
[01:18] <tripitakit> Azizco910, sorry got to go, hope u'll find help, try read here for the moment:http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/dell-wireless-1370-wlan-minipci-card-with-ubuntu-551427/
[01:19] <asclepius> so anyone familiar with autoreconnect for mouse and keyboard?
[01:19] <asclepius> bluetooth
[01:19] <ellipsis_> *sigh*
[01:20] <brut-> Testing forcedeth fix
[01:21] <rww> nvm, found it. Stuff I needed was in ~/.local/share/applications, in case anyone else cares :)
[01:22] <asclepius> anyone know how to get bluetooth to autoconnect?
[01:23] <cutterjohn> now back to those pesky LCD panels on a notebook, X.org is only reporting max pixel clock (333.0 MHz) and no synch/refresh values... Is there anywhere else to find those?  Do LCD panels generally use the same ranges for those values?  Are they really even needed?
[01:23] <rww> cutterjohn: to answer the last question, I've never needed them
[01:23] <NET||abuse> man, really annoying issues with intrepid, 2 machines, possibly both nvidia related, random freezes for a few seconds, 10-20 seconds,
[01:23] <cutterjohn> rww: but what do you do for the modeline entry? leave off the horizsync and vertrefresh part?
[01:23] <tonibuntu> can anybody tell me if this process described here will work on a hardy machine? :  http://pastebin.com/m29144318
[01:24] <cbryeaw> I'm having a real hard time getting Suspend to work with ubuntu, the hibernate command works, but hibernate-ram and suspend via gnome-power-manager I can't get to work for the life of me, the computer doesn't want to come back up after the suspend. Anyone have any ideas for me?
[01:24] <shade34321> what does this error mean......Executing 'grub-install (hd0)' failed. and how do i fix it?
[01:24] <cutterjohn> rww: I need to override EDID apparently because of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/194760)
[01:24] <NET||abuse> whatever i am doing continues, keyboard continues to work without any video update, playing a video and the video audio is still on, and the video picks up where it left off.
[01:24] <rww> cutterjohn: Hmm. Only time I've ever used that part was installing Arch Linux. It recommended 30.0 - 130.0 for Horiz and 50.0 - 100.0 for Vert.
[01:24] <codemaster|livec> jesus christ, this is difficult to simply resize a NTFS RAID 5 array partition
[01:25] <codemaster|livec> I finally got the array recognized via dmraid -ay
[01:25] <codemaster|livec> and after modprobing dm-raid4-5
[01:25] <cutterjohn> rww: ok, I'll give it a shot, because this is driving me nuts...
[01:25] <rww> cutterjohn: and said "safe for most LCDs". Was fine for mine, your mileage may vary i guess
[01:25] <codemaster|livec> and now im trying to mount it, but it seems i have to assemble it using mdadm (ie - mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd), but that gives me an error dealing with "no superblock in /dev/sdb"
[01:25] <codemaster|livec> any ideas?
[01:26] <m1dn1ght> Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy?  I'm following instructions but after typing password I'm getting the error: "Not a WEBDAV-enabled share" (I'm going to Places > Connect to Server and putting in the details there)
[01:26] <cutterjohn> rww:  I hope that EDID parsing gets updated soonish...
[01:27] <lyosha> anybody know why jack might be giving me "shimmering" or metal-springy-robot-voice kind of sounds? I can't seem to configure it to give me the same sound as just turning up the mic in alsamixer
[01:27] <tonibuntu> gotta be one expert in the channel that could answer this please , will the process described at  http://pastebin.com/m29144318   work on a hardy system?
[01:28] <Crewsr3_> I have ibex installed with nvidia 7300 gt with the propertery drivers.  I went into the xserver that nvidia provides and I want to select the twinview option, but it is greyed out...any thoughts as to why it is greyed out?  The video hard has a s-video output
[01:29] <PeskyJ> my wife has some old captured video files on her laptop (windows) and I want to copy them to this ubuntu machine - some are >2GiB so will I have to figure out how to split the files in wondows to send across or can I run some kind of file server on my ubuntu machine and copy them straight across?
[01:29] <Dr_willis_> PeskyJ  the linux  filesystem can handle large files
[01:30] <PeskyJ> dr_willis: yeah, but I don't think samba does...
[01:30] <rww> PeskyJ: you could set up filezilla server on her computer and copy them over FTP. It's what I usually do in that situation.
[01:30] <codemaster|livec> PeskyJ: if the ubuntu machine is on EXT3, the 2 GB limit won't be an issue, right?
[01:30] <codemaster|livec> i would recommend [S]FTP, as well
[01:30] <goat|lappy> PeskyJ: mount with the lfs option
[01:30] <Dr_willis_> PeskyJ  i move dvd image files to/from samba servers all the time.. no issues
[01:30] <mikeblack_> http://deine-nackte-weihnachtsfrau.net/?id=2667561
[01:31] <v4vijayakumar> PeskyJ: use usb drive
[01:31] <codemaster|livec> anyone have any idea with my dmraid and mdadm issue?
[01:31] <AdamD2> What's the command to install mysql?
[01:31] <cretzul> cineva on
[01:31] <Ashex> What's the default media player installed in ubuntu?
[01:31] <Jophish> AdamD2: use synaptics
[01:32] <PeskyJ> some good suggestions there, ta guys... I will try SCP I think - hope it supports >2GiB
[01:32] <Jophish> and search for mysql
[01:32] <v4vijayakumar> !p2p
[01:32] <goat|lappy> PeskyJ: it may be slower, just fyi
[01:32] <Ashex> er, I meant Music player
[01:32] <Ashex> I can't remember what it's called
[01:32] <AdamD2> I did, I dunno what package.
[01:32] <v4vijayakumar> !mysql
[01:32] <Jophish> ythmbox
[01:32] <Dr_willis_> PeskyJ  i cant recall ever having a > 2gb file issue with any linux machines copying stuff with ssh/samva/other ways.. :)
[01:32] <_nmap> !ltsp
[01:32] <Jophish> rhythmbox* ashex
[01:33] <PeskyJ> dr_willis: oh.. I thought the SMB protocol had a 2GB limit
[01:33] <_nmap> !edubuntuhandbook
[01:33] <cretzul> i reinstall the ubuntu and i lost the home folder
[01:33] <PeskyJ> dr_willis: if not then I'll just share a directory on this ubuntu machine
[01:33] <Dr_willis_> PeskyJ  ive never hit that issue..    and i reguallary copy 4gb iso files back/forth to the samba servers
[01:33] <cretzul> can recover ?
[01:34] <rww> !recover | cretzul: probably not
[01:34] <pasteeater> how do i find what package provides a particular file?
[01:34] <gnutron> PeskyJ: get a copy of pscp on the windows box and pscp the files  to ubuntu just like scp
[01:35] <Ashex> Jophish, ah, thanks
[01:35] <dcina> hello
[01:35] <Jophish> Ashex: my pleasure
[01:35] <rww> pasteeater: you could ask ubottu: !find filename, or use the second search box on http://packages.ubuntu.com/, or i think there's a command you can use but I forgot it :/
[01:35] <Cavisty^gerber> Which small distro would you guys recommend that can boot off a usb stick?
[01:35] <pasteeater> rww: thanks
[01:36] <mrwes> re
[01:36] <rww> pasteeater: that command appears to be dpkg-query -S FILE
[01:36] <Dr_willis_> Cavisty^gerber  ubuntu can, puppy linux, dsl, depeneds on your exact needs..
[01:36] <rmitchell> cavisty^gerber: damnsmalllinux.org   about 50 MB
[01:36] <n8tuser> Caveman__-> dsl
[01:36] <mrwes> How do I set the default folder in ssh ?
[01:36] <cutterjohn> I abhor editing xorg.conf... sigh...
[01:37] <pasteeater> rww: just saw that too, but "dpkg -S foo" seems to work.
[01:37] <gnutron> pasteeater: you  might try apt-cache search filename
[01:37] <Dr_willis_> mrwes  default folder in ssh? clarify to the channel what you are wanting in more detail.
[01:37] <mrwes> Dr_willis_, yes....when I login via ssh, I want the default folder to be /home/bill
[01:37] <Cavisty^gerber> n8tuser, would i have to do anything special to get it to boot off usb? or what
[01:38] <pasteeater> gnutron: tried that, but wasn't specific enough.  didn't increase the verbosity much though
[01:38] <cutterjohn> off to test
[01:38] <gnutron> pasteeater: ah, i guessed as much, sorry.
[01:38] <Dr_willis_> mrwes  hmm.. My users Home directroy is the default when I ssh to a remote machine
[01:38] <m1dn1ght> Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy?  I'm following instructions but after typing password I'm getting the error: "Not a WEBDAV-enabled share" (I'm going to Places > Connect to Server and putting in the details there)  - I have tested using "Map Network Drive" in a Windows Virtual Machine and it works fine there.
[01:38] <pasteeater> gnutron: thanks for the suggestion though.  it still might work, but I just looked at the man page very quickly
[01:38] <mrwes> Dr_willis_, lemme check
[01:39] <mrwes> Dr_willis_, duh...mine too
[01:39] <Dr_willis_> mrwes  ssh logins in same as you sould from a terminal, or console.. so id be suprised if it was different
[01:39] <gnutron> pasteeater: google the filename may give you clues.
[01:39] <Dr_willis_> mrwes  :)
[01:39] <mrwes> ssh roxs!
[01:39] <J172> hmm
[01:40] <J172> does anyone know if you can automatically log conversations in XChat-Gnome?
[01:40] <rww> mrwes: indeed it does :) ssh + screen + irssi = i can stay connected to IRC when I leave for work, and pick up where I was when I get there :D
[01:40] <pasteeater> gnutron: already did.  what makes this hard is that I'm troubleshooting for someone else
[01:40] <forcumang> where are doc's located by default?
[01:40] <mrwes> rww: I remember using screen when I was running slackware
[01:41] <gnutron> J172: avoid xchat-gnome and use xchat, i'll think you'll prefer the latter.
[01:41] <J172> gnutron: Thanks, I love Xchat, but Xchat-Gnome seems wierd.
[01:41] <J172> *goes to apt-get*
[01:41] <mrwes> rww, I remember getting lost on which screen I was actually on..heh
[01:41] <forcumang> where are doc's located by default?
[01:41] <Dr_willis_> J172  xchat-gnome is weird
[01:41] <n8tuser> Cavisty^gerber-> i dont have the intimate details of installing damn small linux, you may have to google for the instructions
[01:42] <forcumang> i hate xchat
[01:42]  * J172 is listening to Celtic Women
[01:42] <hololight> netbook remix.... min requirements.... intel atom proc.... so it will not run at all on i386?
[01:42] <J172> (that doesn't sound right)
[01:42] <rww> forcumang: in which program? Probably one of ~/Desktop/, ~/Documents/, or ~/
[01:42] <forcumang> rww: it's sudo apt-get install package-doc
[01:42] <forcumang> specifically: sudo apt-get install gtkmm-2.4-doc
[01:43] <Jeffrey_> nick J172
[01:43] <J172> Much better
[01:43] <J172> <3 Ubuntu
[01:43] <rww> forcumang: oh! documentation! /usr/share/doc/
[01:43] <rww> forcumang: sorry, misunderstood you :)
[01:43] <forcumang> rww: thanks :)
[01:43] <J172> thanks gnutron
[01:44] <gnutron> J172: my pleasure.
[01:46] <rww> wow, I'm reading the package description for xchat-gnome... it's kinda ridiculous...
[01:46] <PeskyJ> how do you enable ssh in ubuntu?
[01:46] <rww> PeskyJ: ssh server? sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[01:47] <J172> rww: yeah xhcat-gnome isn't my thing
[01:47] <gnutron> PeskyJ: install openssh-server it'll inlude the client as well.
[01:47] <gnutron> J172: irssi is the  bomb if you like a xterm, expecially with 'screen'
[01:48] <PeskyJ> rww: gnutron: ahh, I see - I was looking for a check box in administration->services
[01:48] <l0gis1c> hello
[01:48] <J172> I've tried irssi, I love CLI, but its just wierd lol atleast for me.
[01:48] <rww> PeskyJ: I think that checkbox appears once you install that package
[01:48] <Geforce88> i'm trying to install 8.10, but everytime i get past the keyboard setup it claims it can't find my cdrom,. i've tried 4 cdroms, 2 dvdroms, one dvd burner, and even tried using the SAME drive i burned the image with. what gives ?
[01:48] <gnutron> J172: love takes time :)
[01:48] <wanlai> hello i have ubuntu installed on two different hdd's and so on the grub bootup menu theres 2 different ones in there id like to remove one of them... preferably the one that im not logged into right now how can i find out what one i should remove?
[01:48] <PeskyJ> rww: how come it's not listed in add/remove?
[01:49] <J172> gnutron: it took me two years to finally give windows the boot
[01:49] <rww> PeskyJ: dunno, I don't use Add/Remove much. Isn't there a "Show all packages" box somewhere?
[01:49] <J172> :P
[01:49] <tim1> hi any know how I can run to commands but have it wait a little before running the next ?
[01:49] <Flannel> PeskyJ: add/remove is a distilled version of what is available, only showing big-name apps that people would want, etc.
[01:49] <thiebaude> J172: it took me about 6 months
[01:49] <J172> I bought a Mac this summer, couldn't figure out how I've lived without NIX, then installed Ubuntu on my laptop 5 days ago
[01:49] <n8tuser> Geforce88-> you have an existing linux?
[01:49] <tim1> at the moment I'm just doing command && commends
[01:49] <Geforce88> with the suport i get in this channel, i'mready to give linux the boot
[01:49] <gnutron> J172: better late than naver stated some wise old sage.
[01:49] <PeskyJ> Flannel: ahh, I see
[01:49] <J172> gnutron: true
[01:50] <Flannel> tim1: sleep
[01:50] <tim1> ahh sleep 10 sec ?
[01:50] <gnutron> J172: i keep windows for games, approx 10 minutes avg per/year :)
[01:50] <Flannel> tim1: not quite, close though.  see the man page (man sleep)
[01:50] <rww> tim1: command && sleep 10 && command will sleep 10 seconds between commands
[01:50] <PeskyJ> clever, yeah, it's appeared in services now :)
[01:50] <m1dn1ght> Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy?  I'm following instructions here (http://who.hasfiles.com/support/mapping/#ubuntu)  but after typing password I'm getting the error: "Not a WEBDAV-enabled share" - I have tested using "Map Network Drive" in a Windows Virtual Machine and it works fine there.
[01:51] <J172> Windows has its place no doubt, I might BootCamp it on my iMac. but... for everyday use... Linux or OS X no doubt
[01:51] <wanlai>  hmmm is this a help channel?
[01:51] <ravalox> Oy, I just updated from 8.04 to 8.10 and now I have no sound!  I tried removing pulseaudio and I'm still getting no sound of any kind.
[01:51] <ravalox> Anyone have any suggestions?
[01:51] <rww> wanlai: theoretically, it's dedicated to Ubuntu Support. some of us just get offtopic sometimes :)
[01:51] <gnutron> wanlai: affirmative, yes it is.
[01:51] <rww> speaking of which
[01:51] <ravalox> I should say, I removed pulseaudio
[01:51] <herenbdy> say, in the System Monitor, what do the columns Virtual Memory, Resident Memory, Shared Memory, and Memory represent?
[01:51] <rww> !offtopic | J172
[01:51] <ravalox> And I still get no sound
[01:51] <herenbdy> rather, what are the distinctions
[01:51] <tim1> worked beautifully thank you all
[01:53] <rww> herenbdy: in System Monitor, Help > Contents > Preferences and scroll down for a description of each column
[01:54] <JmCourir> is there any animated wallpaper for ubuntu 8.10 ?
[01:54] <rww> JmCourir: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/09/14/animated-wallpaper-with-compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu/
[01:55] <rww> JmCourir: or the "This other method" link to LifeHacker at the page I just linked
[01:55] <thugren> Hey there guys. I have to ask if anyone. know if there is a way to do a Firmware updates via linux?
[01:55] <JmCourir> rww: wow thanks
[01:55] <J172> thugren: of what?
[01:56] <thugren> As in DVD flash upgrades, Bios upgrades, and a flash tool for controler cards?
[01:56] <rww> thugren: for your motherboard? which model? some allow you to just put the .ROM file on a floppy/usb disk and run a utility from the BIOS menu
[01:56] <ravalox> Oy, I just updated from 8.04 to 8.10 and now I have no sound!  I removed pulseaudio and I'm still getting no sound of any kind.
[01:56] <rww> thugren: my Asus P5K-E does, anyway
[01:56] <PeskyJ> aargh.. the display on ctrl+alt+f7 has disappeared - the login screen I can't open another session
[01:56] <thugren> rww Oh? how?
[01:57] <thugren> rww, Okay. But I need to do it for a DVD?
[01:57] <LF|Irssi> lol so many people having that same prob ravalox,, the answer for that should be in the topic or something hehe
[01:57] <ravalox> I tried
[01:57] <rww> thugren: DVDs have firmware upgrades o.O?
[01:57] <thugren> That doesn't have the firmware software?
[01:58] <ravalox> The new version gave all three of my computers massive sound issues
[01:58] <thugren> xp. but I am using Ubuntu..
[01:58] <ravalox> I just bought an external drive in case I have to evacuate to Fedora
[01:58] <thugren> And don't want to use xp..
[01:58] <n8tuser> PeskyJ-> get into a console and modify /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom  and add another line on [servers] like 1=Standard1
[01:59] <AndyH303> fedora is the nuts
[01:59] <n8tuser> PeskyJ-> then do a /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[01:59] <fari> is there a ready live bootable ubuntu usb(for usb) in iso or so just to put\extract\install
[01:59] <rww> AndyH303: is that a good or bad thing? I'm not good at slang :P
[01:59] <lilb1970> how come mt miro keepscrashing...........
[02:00] <n8tuser> lilb1970-> i have experienced those before, you can try to de-install and re-install
[02:00] <AndyH303> its good - i've been swapping since edgy / fc6 and i must say f10 is pretty good
[02:00] <losetheshizzle> anyone know why my workspace switcher icon is missing?
[02:00] <lilb1970> whan i run miro it loads... then when i press the play..........crash...its gone...? any help out there
[02:01] <ravalox> Yeah, all the reviews for Fedora 10 are rave
[02:01] <NineTeen67Comet> Hello all, I'm trying to enable my wifi card but it continues to stop the download at 75% (been trying for over a week). The card is a broadcom and the file is being downloaded from downloads.openwrt.org (wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o) .. any help on this one?
[02:01] <ravalox> I'd rave about 8.10 if there wasn't such an obvious oversight regarding the sound
[02:01] <rww> !offtopic
[02:01] <rmitchell> losetheshizzle: you can get it back by adding the "workspace switcher" applet
[02:02] <rmitchell> losetheshizzle: to your panel
[02:02] <LF|Irssi> its better to stick with 8.04 if you can.
[02:02] <lilb1970> can any one help me with MIRO
[02:02] <gnutron> lilb1970: compiz enabled? miro likes resources but not a real hog. compiz irks many things.
[02:02] <losetheshizzle> rmitchell how do you do that?
[02:02] <m1dn1ght> Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy?

[02:02] <PeskyJ> n8tuser: weird - I just ran the system->administration->login window program and it came back
[02:02] <rww> losetheshizzle: Right click panel > Add to panel > Workspace Switcher
[02:03] <lilb1970> how do i acsess copmiz
[02:03] <losetheshizzle> rww.. excellent .. thanks!
[02:03] <n8tuser> lilb1970-> dont need compiz to run miro
[02:03] <gnutron> lilb1970: desktop effects, system preferences menu i believe.
[02:03] <n8tuser> PeskyJ-> i dont know what happened there
[02:04] <gnutron> lilb1970: i meant to disable compiz not use it.
[02:04] <hp-geek> hi everyone
[02:04] <PeskyJ> lilb1970: if you go to system->preferences->main menu - in there there should be an option to display the compiz settings, check it, then it should appear in the system->preferences menu
[02:04] <rmitchell> nineteen67comet: does it download other files alright?
[02:04] <lilb1970> yup
[02:04] <bobbob1016> Anyone successfully install Asus' ExpressGate without Windows?
[02:05] <NineTeen67Comet> rmitchell: yeah, all is well, except that one file .. I've googled for the file elsewhere, but it doesn't seem to exist (not to mention I wouldn't know where to put it after download) ..
[02:05] <SJrX> Anyone here have any luck purchasing notebooks from Dell? THere UBuntu versions are HOrrible and more expensive
[02:06] <wanatryu> what file system ubuntu uses?
[02:06] <NineTeen67Comet> SJrX: Unless you're set on a Dell; Lenovo notebooks have been awesome for me and my work (they are just ugly) ..
[02:06] <rww> wanatryu: by default, ext3
[02:06] <SJrX> Hmmmm
[02:06] <SJrX> NineTeen67Comet my friend wants to purchase a notebook but doesn't want to pay for Windows.
[02:06] <lilb1970> the itergration thing...to desktop?
[02:06] <wanatryu> can  show ntfs ? or run on it
[02:07] <SJrX> Dell officially supports Ubuntu, but on the M1330 to get the exact same system with Ubuntu as opposed to Windows, is impossible (but a cost estimate) is $500 extra.
[02:07] <rww> wanatryu: it can read and write ntfs, but can't run off it (probably, I haven't tried). If you want to install Ubuntu within a Windows partition, use Wubi.
[02:07] <rww> !wubi | wanatryu
[02:07] <rmitchell> NineTeen67Comet, what is the url of that file? what's the size?
[02:07] <wanatryu> thanks alot
[02:07] <dmulholland> hey, are there any programs for use at maintaining a simple code repo on a persons machine that makes it easy to pull copies out for working on? dont want anything as big as git or svn, just something simple?
[02:08] <NineTeen67Comet> Um, there's several companies out there that'll sell'em OS free, but I can't recall off the top of my head which ones they are .. http://www.emperorlinux.com/ .. they come with Linux though
[02:08] <lilb1970> i got to have miro
[02:08] <NineTeen67Comet> rmitchell: lemme look .. it's a really small file ..
[02:08] <russell__> how can I install skype for ubuntu?
[02:08] <Dillizar> SJrX, be advice that his bios may be set for vista so you may do some miner settings
[02:08] <bobbob1016> russell__, Goto skype.com, they have an Ubuntu .dev iirc
[02:08] <Dillizar> russell__,
[02:08] <Frede> sudo apt-get install skype
[02:08] <ConstantineXVI_> russell__: go to skype.com, download it, double-click the package
[02:08] <Nashenas> russell__ you can get the .deb file from skype or installl the medibuntu repository
[02:08] <BoltClock> hi, by default after installing ubuntu when i installed windows first, where is grub installed?
[02:08] <Dillizar> russell__, i will help you wait 5 sec
[02:09] <Austin`> What is the suggested package for java? I was used sun-java and it wasn't working well for me
[02:09] <AndyH303> .deb fi;e
[02:09] <SJrX> Hmmmmm that's fine
[02:09] <Frede> skype has a lot of sound problems with linux!
[02:09] <bobbob1016> Frede, Not for me...
[02:09] <Nashenas> BoltClock: /boot/grub
[02:09] <ConstantineXVI_> russell__: pretty much the same way you'd do it in windows
[02:09] <BoltClock> Nashenas: that means its within my ubuntu partition?
[02:09] <rww> SJrX: some of the vendors on http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/list/?category=Laptop will install os-free, I think
[02:09] <Dillizar> russell__, http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=skype+for+ubuntu
[02:09] <SJrX> Um, who the eff pays $4150 for a notebook today
[02:10] <rww> will sell **
[02:10] <Nashenas> Hey so I have emacs22-nox installed since I like the nox version better than the X one. How would I launch a gnome-terminal window and then launch emacs inside of that? any idea?
[02:10] <Nashenas> BoltClock: yes
[02:10] <NineTeen67Comet> rmitchell: Looks like it worked on this box (doesn't need it) .. do you know where the driver needs to be deposited on the machine that needs it? doesn't say in the Details: here's the link:  http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
[02:10] <Frede> bobbob1016, okay.. I just have a lot of problems.. Where are u from, NYC?
[02:10] <SJrX> thanks rww that helps
[02:11] <bobbob1016> Frede, No...  Well born there, moved soon after....  why?
[02:11] <russell__> Constantine: thx :)
[02:11] <BoltClock> Nashenas: ok. i wanna install vista for kicks just to see how my pc deals with windows aero, is aero possible just on a VM or do i have to install on my disk?
[02:12] <rww> BoltClock: VMs don't deal well with Aero, usually
[02:12] <Frede> bobbob1016, K.. Just saw your time was 09:10.. so it must be in the time zone..
[02:12] <ConstantineXVI_> BoltClock: if you want to see aero, you have to install native
[02:12] <EMPulse> hey guys
[02:12] <Nashenas> BoltClock: it depends on what kind of VM you're using. It would need to allow direct access to your hardware
[02:12] <EMPulse> what program do you sue in Ubuntu to open rars
[02:12] <BoltClock> alright thanks
[02:12] <Dillizar> EMPulse, you need wine and winrar
[02:12] <zsquareplusc> Dillizar: no  wine
[02:12] <Nashenas> BoltClock: also restoring grub isn't difficult if vista writes over the mbr, you need to have an ubuntu cd tho
[02:13] <EMPulse> Dillizar, gah, I hate wine, it lags
[02:13] <zsquareplusc> EMPulse: there is unrar installable from synaptic
[02:13] <Dillizar> EMPulse, use to wine to install winrar
[02:13] <ConstantineXVI_> EMPulse: pop open add/remove, search for RAR, install it, then just use archive manager like everything else
[02:13] <rww> !rar | EMPulse, Dillizar: no you don't
[02:13] <BoltClock> Nashenas: that i can fulfill
[02:13] <EMPulse> ConstantineXVI, zsquareplusc thanks
[02:13] <bobbob1016> Frede, Could be canadian, could be cuban too...  Offtopic though
[02:13] <BoltClock> i have xp as well, will vista interfere?
[02:13] <Dillizar> sowwy rww ^^
[02:13] <Frede> bobbob1016, true true... :)
[02:13] <NineTeen67Comet> rmitchell: do you know where the .o file needs to be for aptitude (apt-get even) to see it's been downloaded? I've got the file handy now .
[02:14] <ConstantineXVI_> BoltClock: shouldn't as long as you dont tell it to upgrade it
[02:14] <Frede> BoltClock, Please dont say you are running Vista.. :)
[02:14] <BoltClock> Frede: of course im not, just wanted to see how my pc chugs on aero :P
[02:14] <Nashenas> Frede: once he tries it out, he'll go back to xp, lol
[02:14] <BoltClock> its bad enough im still running windows :P
[02:14] <rww> BoltClock: try asking in #windows. They probably know more about installing both XP and Vista on the same machine.
[02:14] <BoltClock> rww: k
[02:14] <Nashenas> BoltClock: how much ram do u have?
[02:14]  * NineTeen67Comet vista runs fine in VirtualBox .. right where I can X out of it just for a giggle .. 
[02:15] <ConstantineXVI_> Frede: some people cant learn that the fire is hot till they stick their hand in :)
[02:15] <rww> sorry, ##windows. Dunno if the extra # matters :/
[02:15] <BoltClock> Nashenas: 4 gb. its my graphics card thats lacking
[02:15] <rmitchell> NineTeen67Comet, not sure. It sounds like you're going to have to compile it yourself, as its not a .deb package
[02:15] <ConstantineXVI_> rww: yes it does
[02:15] <Nashenas> BoltClock: what card?
[02:15] <NineTeen67Comet> rmitchell: no prob .. thanks much for your time though ..
[02:15] <Frede> constantineXVI_ : :D
[02:15] <Codemaster|LiveC> ok, i've done a bit more of an attempt on reading my RAID array in ubuntu... still no dice.
[02:15] <BoltClock> Nashenas: nvidia gf7100, its onboard and has only 128 mb memory
[02:15] <Codemaster|LiveC> however, I have run dmraid -ay and I have a block device (nvidia_bbaijfba)
[02:15] <ConstantineXVI_> (no offense to those that enjoy sticking their hand in the fire knowing it's hot)
[02:15] <fbc> Hi guys!! quick question. Is there anyway that I can make nautilus open a folder by hover a dragged file over it?  like the macs do?
[02:16] <BoltClock> Nashenas: or is 128mb fine? lol
[02:16] <Codemaster|LiveC> I simply can't moun it, though
[02:16] <Nashenas> BoltClock: that should be enough, tho I can't remember too well. I just hated the fact that it took 2.5 GB when i had 4GB of ram O.o
[02:16] <Codemaster|LiveC> and if i attempt to mount one of its partitions (ie - /dev/sdb), I receive an error - "NTFS signature is missing."
[02:16] <Nashenas> and that was on a free vista disk, no added programs
[02:16] <Nashenas> just vista
[02:17] <BoltClock> lol
[02:17] <Nashenas> anyone have any experience running gnome-terminal and then an application inside of that terminal, from some kind of script?
[02:17] <Codemaster|LiveC> anyone have any idea about my mounting and dmraid issue?
[02:18] <fbc> Is there anyway that I can make nautilus open a folder by hovering a dragged file over it?  like the macs do?
[02:18] <PeskyJ> Nashenas: do you mean passing a command into gnome-terminal for it to run?
[02:18] <rww> Nashenas: gnome-terminal --command=/command/goes/here
[02:18] <Odd-rationale> fbc: i don't think so... but dolphin and konqueror on kde does that... (at least last time i tried in kde 3.5...)
[02:18] <rww> Nashenas: if I'm understanding you correctly
[02:19] <rustyrat> hello there
[02:19] <endoubt> ok, there we go
[02:19] <Nashenas> rww: wow I can't believe i didn't look at gnome-terminals man page, thanks
[02:19] <Scunizi> How do I get out of full screen after remote desktoping into my desktop with my laptop?
[02:19] <zsquareplusc> Scunizi: vnc? try F8
[02:20] <fbc> Odd-rationale, there has to be a way to make nautilus do that... I can't believe they would let kde get one up on them.
[02:20] <zsquareplusc> fbc: i think its doing in in the tree in the sidepanel
[02:20] <Scunizi> zsquareplusc: nope.. "remote desktop" the other option off Applications>Internet
[02:20] <rww> Scunizi: F11 maybe?
[02:20] <rww> Scunizi: that's how you get into fullscreen mode, anyway
[02:20] <zsquareplusc> Scunizi: lots of apps use f11 for fullscreen
[02:21] <rww> Scunizi: so I assume it's F11 to get back out again...
[02:21] <Scunizi> rww: thanks that was it!.. with the option at the top
[02:21] <fbc> zsquareplusc, not it doesn't work that way either.
[02:21] <Odd-rationale> fbc: yeah, it works if you do it on the tree side panel...
[02:22] <zsquareplusc> fbc: well, folders open up if i drag a file over them and wait. the the sidepanel when it is selected to display "tree"
[02:22] <Scunizi> rww: I had just used the "full screen" icon at the top of the window.  nice to know that it's f11. just another one to remember. ctrl+f for Vbox F11 for RD, Vmware is another.. etc.
[02:22] <adac> can please someone help me? My widow borders are totally gone....there is no more item to close or minimize the window :(
[02:22] <Codemaster|LiveC> ugh, no help.
[02:22] <Codemaster|LiveC> i mind as well try another distro or something
[02:22] <Odd-rationale> adac: are you trying to use compiz-fusion?
[02:22] <rww> Scunizi: yeah, there are way too many. If it helps, F11 is theoretically the standard for GNOME apps these days.
[02:23] <Dillizar> adac, did you installed compiz?
[02:23] <Odd-rationale> adac: try: alt+f2. and run: metacity --replace
[02:23] <adac> Odd-rationale, well  compiz is enabled yes
[02:23] <Dillizar> adac, open a compiz
[02:23] <Odd-rationale> adac: if you want to use compiz, then you should install emerald
[02:23] <fbc> zsquareplusc, yeah I got it to work that was, but i normally prefer to view places.
[02:24] <rmitchell> odd-rationale: isn't emerald beryl, not compiz?
[02:24] <Dillizar> adac, and the select window some thing its a icon that has a window with red border try that
[02:24] <adac> Odd-rationale, it is installed...emerald. metacity --replace had no effect
[02:24] <Odd-rationale> rmitchell: no, emerald is part of compiz-fusion as well...
[02:24] <Codemaster|LiveC> it seems it's looking for /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbaifjba3 but it isn't finding it
[02:24] <Codemaster|LiveC> says it doesnt exist
[02:24] <rww> rmitchell: beryl merged with compiz to make compiz-fusion, which inherited emerald
[02:24] <Codemaster|LiveC> but /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbaifjba does exist and contains 3 partitions
[02:24] <RB2> Would anyone have a moment to help me with a grub install issue? I've been going around in circles for hours. I re-installed Windows and afterwards, re-installed grub. I get an error 17 on the Ubuntu entry and a 13 on the Windows entry.  fstab/menu.lst entries: http://pastebin.ca/1270773
[02:24] <rmitchell> rww: didn't know they merged emerald with it, cool
[02:25] <andersbr> Is there a good upgrade path from Dapper to Ibex?  Or would it be best to just reinstall?
[02:25] <Nashenas> rww: hey now lets say I wanted to get the arguments passed to this script and pass them to emacs, what should I do?
[02:25] <Odd-rationale> adac: try opening the emerald theme manager and selecting a theme...
[02:25] <andersbr> Nashenas:  What's the script written in?
[02:25] <Nashenas> shell script
[02:25] <endoubt> RB2: have you tried reinstalling grub with the usual guide?
[02:25] <Nashenas> so bash?
[02:26] <zsquareplusc> Nashenas: use %1 %2 ..
[02:26] <rww> Nashenas: I think $@ ? so something like emacs $@... not sure, though
[02:26] <Dillizar> adac, have you installed some new menus?
[02:26] <RB2> endoubt: yes, and at one point, ubuntu would load, but not Windows. Then, Windows would load, but not Ubuntu. I think I'm just going nuts. hehe
[02:26] <Nashenas> right now I have
[02:26] <Nashenas> #!/usr/bin/env bash
[02:26] <Nashenas> gnome-terminal --command=emacs
[02:26] <adac> Odd-rationale, I tried that before. No effect. borders are just gone. I really doN#t know what I have done wrong....I really didn't changed a thing
[02:27] <RB2> endoubt: now neither will load.
[02:27] <adac> Dillizar, nope...it just happened
[02:27] <rww> Nashenas: that's assuming you want all the arguments passed to emacs. if you just want a specific one, it's $1 $2 $3, etc. instead
[02:27] <Codemaster|LiveC> so no one has any idea?
[02:27] <endoubt> RB2: there is a boot disk called "Super Grub Boot Disk" which is quite silly but it helped me once
[02:27] <user01> everytime new kernel headers are installed, what is the easiest way to remove the old ones?
[02:27] <rww> Nashenas: gnome-terminal --command="emacs $1" would past the first argument to the script to emacs
[02:27] <adac> Dillizar, as far as I remember. But I'm poretty sure I changed nothing
[02:27] <adac> *pretty
[02:27] <Pib> Hey quick question, how do I change my hostname?
[02:28] <Flannel> !hostname | Pib
[02:28] <Codemaster|LiveC> so why would parted be looking for a /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbaijfba3 when it doesn't exist? All I have is a /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbaijfba - no 1/2/3
[02:28] <Pib> Thanks Flannel
[02:28] <endoubt> RB2: I've had that 13 and 17 error before and I'm trying to remember how I fixed it, or if I ever did
[02:28] <Nashenas> rww and zsquareplusc: thanks, and it was $1 not %1
[02:29] <Dillizar> adac, try to down load a new emerald theme
[02:29] <RB2> endoubt: At one point, I had to boot into the XP recovery mode and run fixmbr and fixboot because the whole drive was hosed. I'm looking at the SuperGrubDisk page now.
[02:29] <Codemaster|LiveC> fucking worthless.
[02:29] <Codemaster|LiveC> i'm trying another distro
[02:30] <zsquareplusc> good luck
[02:30] <adac> Dillizar, I already tried that. I have a few themes that I can choose from emerald....but if I selesct one then nothing vchanges. still no borders :(
[02:31] <endoubt> RB2: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting is the grub troubleshoot guide and this thread has some useful info http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1669.html
[02:31] <Pib> Flannel, I broke everything
[02:32] <Flannel> Pib: Define everything.  And how'd you manage that?
[02:32] <Mal3ko> on system with 4gb ram, can ubuntu see 4gb?
[02:32] <Pib> Flannel, I edited the hostname file but now I can't open anything to change the hosts file
[02:32] <rww> Pib: did you not pay attention to the "WARNING!" notice in the factoid, perchance?
[02:32] <Mal3ko> ubuntu 32bit
[02:32] <Flannel> Pib: Right.  Why didn't you just use the GUI method?
[02:32] <zsquareplusc> Mal3ko: only about 3.5MB for  a32 bit system
[02:32] <Pib> rww, Indeed I did but I didn't expect it to stop me from running apps
[02:32] <Pib> Flannel, Because I do not have it, I changed WM
[02:32] <Flannel> Pib: Reboot, choose "recovery console" from the GRUB menu, that'll give you a root prompt, you can edit the files, and when you're done, 'init 2' will finish booting to a normal system.
[02:33] <Pib> Flannel, Thanks
[02:33] <WillyWonka389> hey-oh
[02:34] <Mal3ko> zsquareplusc: you sure? can you confirm this: http://samiux.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/how-to-use-4-gb-ram-on-a-32-bit-ubuntu/
[02:34] <losetheshizzle> i edited my shortcut to switch between workspace 1 (ctrl + left arrow) and workspace 2 (ctrl + right arrow).  is there any way to make it continue left or right using the same shortuct?  like a right arrow ++ ?
[02:34] <rww> Flannel: maybe we should change "WARNING!" to "SUPER-WARNING-YOU-SHOULD-ACTUALLY-READ!"
[02:35] <WillyWonka389> Anyone in here have knowledge about internal microphones?
[02:35] <WillyWonka389> mine doesnt work
[02:35] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: have you already dug through the sound menus?
[02:35] <zsquareplusc> Mal3ko: its what several people here told. you can use all your ram with the 64 bit version
[02:36] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:yeah i recompiled alsa and have been screwing around in preferences forever
[02:36] <comradekingu> Change to: Dont read now, regret afterwards.
[02:36] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: any options in the bios for the microphone?
[02:36] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:i trie a couple walkthroughs in the forums but no help
[02:36] <ghang> excuse me , linux sound card driver is under which folder?
[02:36] <WillyWonka389> no tried that too
[02:37] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: what model is the laptop?
[02:37] <qwerty> yes
[02:37] <rww> zsquareplusc, Mal3ko: the -server kernel has PAE enabled, which allows you to see all 4GB of RAM. Personally, I just did 64-bit =/
[02:37] <Guest54542> is the best
[02:37] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: Acer aspire 5100, running hardy 64-bit
[02:38] <zsquareplusc> rww: but some memory will still be unavailable as the graphics cars shadows some and other reserved spaces
[02:38] <zsquareplusc> s/cars/card
[02:38] <RB2> endoubt: I'm going to reboot and try SuperGrubDisk. Thanks for your help.
[02:38] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: i noticed after i did a clean install with 64-bit, but i am not confident it was working when i had 32-bit
[02:39] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: what does lspci tell you about the device?
[02:40] <budz0r> hey there,  anyone know if there are drivers for the geforce 8800GT? i will be upgrading from a ati card.
[02:40] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[02:40] <WillyWonka389> sorry i dont know how to use pastebin
[02:41] <rww> !pastebin | WillyWonka389
[02:41] <endoubt> budz0r: nvidia support is much better than ati in linux
[02:41] <lbs> hi
[02:41] <lbs> everybody
[02:41] <lbs> I'd like to know how to install soft under ltsp-thin-client
[02:41] <budz0r> endoubt, thats what i heard. will i be able to point and click my way to the correct drivers?
[02:42] <endoubt> budz0r: after I did compiz with nvidia I'll never go back to ati
[02:42] <endoubt> budz0r: they make it much easier
[02:42] <rmitchell> budzor: that card works well, i have the same one. just involves enabling the driver in Hardware Drivers
[02:42] <adac> Dillizar, I restartet the x server...borders are there now!!!
[02:42] <adac> :)
[02:42] <adac> thx DUD
[02:42] <adac> E
[02:42] <lbs> who is familiar with with lstsp
[02:42] <FloodBot1> adac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:42] <lbs> who is familiar with with ltsp?
[02:42] <budz0r> endoubt, rmitchell, thanks. i wanted to make sure i was making a linux friendly purchase
[02:42] <Dillizar> have fub adac
[02:42] <Dillizar> :D
[02:42] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: either copy just the one line from lspci or use pastebin.ca for the full output
[02:42] <rmitchell> budz0r: i've used two or three nividia cards with no problems at all
[02:43] <budz0r> rmitchell, all i've used is this radeon x800 and i hate it
[02:43] <budz0r> i can't get anything to work right with it
[02:43] <adac> Dillizar, I think the deactivation of that oone compiz thing "decoration" did that thing!!! :)
[02:43] <dr_willis> 3 differerent nvidia cards here.. all worked.
[02:43] <endoubt> budz0r: yes, I went through hell with an x1300 too
[02:43] <WillyWonka389> http://paste.ubuntu.com/78200/  endoubt:
[02:43] <adac> well deactivation and activation
[02:43] <budz0r> great, thanks so much for answering guys. later.
[02:43] <rmitchell> never used ati myself, but my friend tried getting a laptop ati card working... terrible
[02:43] <mesh1> I want to make a copy of all of my . directories, so that I can wipe out the current ones and start fresh (except for a couple), how do I do that? If I do cp .* it copies all files (. being the current directory).
[02:44] <ohletmeinnowgodd> hi guys
[02:44] <Codemaster> okay, so can SOMEONE tell me why my RAID 5 nForce array appears in ubuntu as /dev/mapping/array_name and gparted is looking for /dev/mapping/array_name1, /dev/mapping/array_name2, and /dev/mapping/array_name3, but neither of those 3 block devices exist for some unearthly reason. However, dmraid does detect the physical block devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, and /dev/sdd). Anyone have any ideas?
[02:44] <budz0r> oh! one more thing. i'm going to upgrade to a new computer. can i put this hard drive in the new machine and boot linux? i know windows screws up when you pull that kind of stuff. they are both x86 arch.
[02:44] <zsquareplusc> mesh1 use cp -r to copy folders recursively if you want to have the permissions too, cp -ax is useful
[02:44] <ohletmeinnowgodd> can someone explain the difference(s) between the multiverse and medibuntu repository, conceptually?
[02:45] <rww> mesh1: maybe cp .??* DESTINATION
[02:45] <dr_willis> !medibuntu
[02:45] <rww> mesh1: that'll copy all dotfiles with 2 or more characters after the dot... so not ..
[02:45] <dr_willis> ohletmeinnowgodd,  mediubuntu has  packages with 'legal'  issues :)
[02:45] <rmitchell> budz0r, i think you'll be fine
[02:45] <ohletmeinnowgodd> ubottu: and multiverse is legal soft?
[02:46] <rww> ohletmeinnowgodd: depends on your location
[02:46] <dr_willis> ohletmeinnowgodd,  the use of the term 'legal' means 'licening limitations' in this case.. not 'warez'
[02:46] <IdeAlEss> I have a new install of xubuntu and can't figure out which program runs the network application in the system tray.  Sometimes it runs and shows me avaliable wifi networks, but most of the time it does not.  How do I run this or connect to a wifi network without it?
[02:46] <Codemaster> okay, so can SOMEONE tell me why my RAID 5 nForce array appears in ubuntu as /dev/mapping/array_name and gparted is looking for /dev/mapping/array_name1, /dev/mapping/array_name2, and /dev/mapping/array_name3, but neither of those 3 block devices exist for some unearthly reason. However, dmraid does detect the physical block devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, and /dev/sdd). Anyone have any ideas?
[02:46] <Flannel> ohletmeinnowgodd: Its legal yes, just not Free
[02:46] <budz0r> rmitchell, yeah. i may just do a clean install of 8.10 anyway. the one i'm on is an upgrade
[02:46] <losetheshizzle> kinnagohomnah?
[02:47] <budz0r> is there a command to get a list of non-stock installed app's so i can easily replace them after a format?
[02:47] <zutme> I am using Intrepid and I live in the United States. All my spelling suggestions are for British English rather than American English. (e.g. colour instead of color) in firefox. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[02:47] <ohletmeinnowgodd> flannel: im sorry what is legal and not free?
[02:47] <Flannel> ohletmeinnowgodd: the stuff in multiverse.
[02:47] <ohletmeinnowgodd> ok
[02:48] <Dillizar> budz0r, you want to see all the applications that you have installed
[02:48] <ohletmeinnowgodd> and medibuntu is illegal and not free?
[02:48] <budz0r> ohletmeinnowgodd, a 'non free' program is a program that the dev's cannot freely manipulate. thus do not have control over.
[02:48] <budz0r> Dillizar, yes
[02:48] <ohletmeinnowgodd> like reverse engineered drivers?
[02:48] <budz0r> Dillizar, but not the 4000 that come stock with the OS :)
[02:48] <Dillizar> well budz0r you can open add/remove and select installed app
[02:48] <Dillizar> :P
[02:49] <Dillizar> and you will see
[02:49] <Dillizar> :D
[02:49] <budz0r> ohletmeinnowgodd, so they are still very 'legal' but are not truly 'free' get it?
[02:49] <dr_willis> ohletmeinnowgodd,  they are njormally legal.. but licensed in non-gpl ways.. or for other reasonjs
[02:49] <Codemaster> okay, so can SOMEONE tell me why my RAID 5 nForce array appears in ubuntu as /dev/mapping/array_name and gparted is looking for /dev/mapping/array_name1, /dev/mapping/array_name2, and /dev/mapping/array_name3, but neither of those 3 block devices exist for some unearthly reason. However, dmraid does detect the physical block devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, and /dev/sdd). Anyone have any ideas?
[02:49] <mrwes> re
[02:49] <rww> ohletmeinnowgodd: kinda, except drivers go in restricted. but apart from that, yes
[02:49] <jared> hey everyone
[02:49] <jared> so anyone have any idea what "pcm out path & mute" means?
[02:49] <budz0r> Dillizar, thanks! but i was looking for a way to compile a quick list i could just save to a text file. :)
[02:49] <budz0r> at least i can see which ones i have this way
[02:49] <Dillizar> :D
[02:50] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: try B) at http://geekybits.blogspot.com/2007/06/microphones-skype-on-ubuntu.html
[02:50] <rww> budz0r: there's a factoid for this. gimmie a sec to find it
[02:50] <rww> !cloning | budz0r
[02:50] <endoubt> Codemaster: I've only ever experience linux raid with mdadm (software raid)
[02:50] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: thanks
[02:50] <Codemaster> endoubt: I'
[02:51] <Codemaster> er sorry
[02:51] <budz0r> ubottu, wow! thanks!
[02:51] <xDANIMALx> Is there a way I can sync my windows mobile phone in linux?
[02:51] <rww> budz0r: ubottu's just a bot. You're welcome :)
[02:51] <Codemaster> endoubt: I'm simply trying to resize a partition on that RAID Array, as all of the partitioning software I've found so far sucks and doesn't work on x86-64 vista ;)
[02:51] <jared> so anyone have any idea what "pcm out path & mute" means in my mixer?
[02:51] <funchords> Universe is Free/OpenSource software that where open distribution rights are clear.  That helps understnad these -- Medibuntu contains Free/OpenSource software or software components where distribution may be restricted based on your local laws -- laws that restrict types of software (rather than who owns rights to distribute). Multiverse is software that is not free or open source and has restricted distribution.
[02:51] <sine> hi. ive created a mnt/windows in root but i cant access it with my normal user account in the gui directory viewer thingy
[02:52] <sine> how do i give the directory access flags so that all users can view/execute
[02:52] <endoubt> Codemaster: is the RAID software or hardware?
[02:52] <budz0r> ubottu, i got a 'aptitude: unrecognized option '--disable-columns'' know why that might happen?
[02:52] <dr_willis> !multiverse
[02:52] <budz0r> ubottu, i mean i know why it happened... but you know
[02:52] <Codemaster> endoubt: fakeRAID hardware (nforce 780i)
[02:52] <budz0r> ubottu, oh... :(
[02:52] <endoubt> Codemaster: and you're using mdadm for the true raid?
[02:53] <Codemaster> endoubt: no, the raid was made in windows so
[02:53] <mesh1> thanks rww, seems to work
[02:53] <jared> MEH
[02:53] <endoubt> Codemaster: oh, pastebin.ca and paste the output of fdisk -l
[02:53] <jared> er
[02:54] <mesh1> is it okay to delete everything in .local/share/Trash ?
[02:54] <rmitchell> mesh1, only if you never want to see it again
[02:54] <jared> its ok to delete everything in / too
[02:54] <jared> just kidding
[02:54] <endoubt> mesh1: yes
[02:54] <Flannel> jared: Please don't do that.
[02:54] <jared> sorry
[02:54] <jared> so anyone have any idea what "pcm out path & mute" means in my mixer?
[02:54] <rww> mesh1: Assuming you don't want anything that's in your Trash, yes
[02:55] <mesh1> okay thanks
[02:55] <level15> hi. i have an encrypted USB hard drive. When pluged in, gnome pops up a window prompting me for the passwd to decrypt. when i enter it, it always says org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto.SetupPasswordError  Error setting up /dev/sdg2 - bad password?  but I know the password is right because i can access the drive doing cryptsetup luksOpen  /dev/sdb2 sdb2crypt and entering it. any ideas?
[02:55] <dr_willis> !info vlc
[02:55] <jared> !info "pcm out path & mute"
[02:55] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:  didntwork,  im trying to get the newest drivers
[02:56] <Estesark> Is it possible to enable desktop effects on a new ATI Radeon card without using the restricted driver?
[02:56] <budz0r> how well do 3d accel'ed apps work in vurtualized windows?
[02:56] <endoubt> budz0r: depends on your hardware
[02:56] <budz0r> Estesark, did you just buy that card?
[02:56] <rww> What's the GUI way to format a USB drive?
[02:56] <Estesark> It came with my laptop
[02:56] <endoubt> budz0r: I have a friend who claims that compiz works great in virtualbox
[02:56] <budz0r> Estesark, oh... was going to recommend returning it lol
[02:56] <budz0r> endoubt, wondering about games
[02:57] <rmitchell> rww: i think gparted can format it
[02:57] <budz0r> wanted to forgo windows completeley this go-round
[02:57] <tanker_> hello!
[02:57] <AltGrave> Hi
[02:57] <Steve__> I just installed latest updates, and now my ethernet connection stopped working :(    can anyone help me diagnose?
[02:57] <tanker_> Can anyone guide me in setting up the gpg key for Feisty?
[02:57] <zutme> I am using Intrepid and I live in the United States. All my spelling suggestions are for British English rather than American English. (e.g. colour instead of color) in firefox. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[02:58] <rww> zutme: isn't there a Languages... option on Firefox's right-click menu?
[02:58] <rww> zutme: when you're inside a textbox, at least
[02:58] <YaroMan86> Why does Raising Elephants not work in Intrepid?
[02:58] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: check Vultaire's post out on this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/realtek-alc883-record-sound-wont-work-597317/
[02:58] <budz0r> yeah is it just firefox zutme?
[02:58] <lbs> Who is familiar with ltsp?
[02:58] <Estesark> budz0r: Do you know if it is possible though? I can't find any articles on the web about enabling compiz with the open source ATI driver on 8.10.
[02:58] <mjec> Hi guys... did an (automated) upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 and now get grub Error 15: File Not Found. It was an 8.04-alternate install with luks. It seems like I have lost vmlinuz. Any pointers?
[02:58] <Emphastala> it would be nice if these media players ran an md5 check on these files to check for duplicates.... i have a dozen copies of some of these tracks scattered all over the computer
[02:58] <Flannel> tanker_: Feisty isn't supported anymore, you should upgrade to Gutsy (and then to Hardy, gutsy will be EOL in a few months)
[02:58] <AltGrave> Flannel, vi is a nightmare, it took me forever to get everything done
[02:58] <budz0r> Estesark, is the problem that when you enable the non-free drivers it runs like crap?
[02:59] <endoubt> budz0r: you're just asking for trouble running games in virtualbox, find a brick wall instead
[02:59] <zutme> rww, yeah that did it. was on australian
[02:59] <tanker_> Flannel, okay - I guess that would be why I get the errors  Thanks!
[02:59] <Estesark> budz0r: The desktop effects are fine, but then video playback (and 3d games) is appalling.
[02:59] <Flannel> AltGrave: If you aren't familiar with vim, you should use nano instead.
[02:59] <budz0r> endoubt, yeah, lol
[02:59] <rww> zutme: yeah, that appears to be the default for some reason
[02:59] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:  where did this go wrong?  http://pastebin.ca/1270797
[02:59] <Steve__> Downloaded latest updates for Intriped.. rebooted.. now Network Manager says it can't get a network address.  Any ideas?
[02:59] <YaroMan86> Why does Raising Elephants not work in Intrepid?
[03:00] <Flannel> AltGrave: or at least, you could.  Its more or less a "regular" text editor
[03:00] <tanker_> Steve, is this wifi or ethernet?
[03:00] <budz0r> Estesark, ah, well i haven't any experience with that. i was going to say what i did when i had problems was just deleted /etc/X11/xorg.cfg and rebooted and everything seemed to run fine. but that wont help your problem. they make games for linux? (joke)
[03:00] <budz0r> i just run my games in windows man
[03:00] <jared> hey i have an intel 915 video chipset and whenver i open my laptop lid, or bootup my screen glitches. whats up with that? and KDE its   a total glitch show.
[03:00] <level15> Steve__: what kind of network is it?
[03:00] <Estesark> budz0r: Lol, yeah, games like xmoto :P
[03:00] <budz0r> jared, define 'glitches'
[03:00] <AltGrave> Flannel, probably a good idea, I generally used gedit or mousepad with a WM running anyhow
[03:01] <mesh1> thanks all, I was able to move all files except for .dbus
[03:01] <qcjn> hi,
[03:01] <Steve__> it's regular ethernet.
[03:01] <Steve__> it was working just fine before latest updates
[03:01] <RaStar> -h
[03:01] <tanker_> Steve_, what do you get with iwlist scan?
[03:01] <Xcerca> how can i defrag/optimize my HDD ?
[03:01] <level15> Steve__ try it by hand. run the dhcp client on the cmd line and see what it says
[03:01] <budz0r> Estesark, the only game i ever tried was some sort of Worms clone... it won't even start up right lol. As for call of duty 5? i type 'reboot' and wait a few moments lol
[03:01] <sine> how do i set the permission for the syslink that is in mnt/windows that points to my windows partition that i created with root and cannot access with normal user
[03:01] <jared> budz0r,  well, flickers, screen kinda vibrates and just moves quickly tightly back and forth...  nothing crazy just weird
[03:01] <rww> mesh1: I don't think you need .dbus. dbus will make a new one if it needs one
[03:01] <Flannel> Xcerca: with ext3, you generally don't need to.
[03:01] <rww> !defrag | Xcerca
[03:01] <budz0r> jared, ah, mine does that. but it never really got to me.
[03:02] <rww> sine: symlinks don't have permissions. they inherit the permissions of the file they link to
[03:02] <rww> permissions of their own **
[03:02] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:  that got a little too technical, what did they mean by running acer specific code?
[03:02] <jared> budzor ya KDE was stupid! but i liked gnome better so i stuck with gnome
[03:02] <budz0r> why do gentoo users make fun of me. do we really run 'baby linux'?
[03:02] <sine> how comes i cant access with root then
[03:02] <jared> kde was constant glitch
[03:02] <sine> i mean with my normal user account
[03:02] <Xcerca> cuz i just upgraded to 8.10 and now i hear the hdd all the time and it going pretty slow
[03:02] <Steve__> OK, ran dhclient from command line.. it shows the discovery messages.. but gives up after a while
[03:02] <binarymutant> budz0r, no such thing
[03:02] <rww> budz0r: because they're immature. call them "ricers"
[03:02] <archangelpetro> budz0r: gentoo sucks :D i wouldnt  worry, the're insecure
[03:03] <level15> Steve__: hm... ok, dumb question... are you sure all connections are ok?
[03:03] <budz0r> rww, ricers? lol like the honda kids?
[03:03] <Flannel> rww, budz0r, archangelpetro: just ignore them.
[03:03] <archangelpetro> hhehe
[03:03] <rww> budz0r: yes :D
[03:03] <Steve__> Yeah, checked all physical connections.  They're fine
[03:03] <budz0r> haha
[03:03] <heogen> THEME
[03:03] <jared> budz0r, i think its beneath us to work harder to use our computers than we need need to. if a program could do in a few click what 17 lines of code could, i'll take the program.
[03:03] <heogen> hi how can i install new theme
[03:03] <dr_willis> !changetheme
[03:03] <level15> Steve__: who is your dhcp server? a home router? your isp?
[03:03] <jared> they are suppsoed to be our conceniencde, not our time consumers
[03:03] <dr_willis> !themes
[03:04] <jared> err conveniance
[03:04] <jared> i cant type
[03:04] <jared> still
[03:04] <tanker_> Steve__, what's in /etc/X11/network interfaces?
[03:04] <Steve__> home router. should be 192.168.1.1
[03:04] <Steve__> i'll check..
[03:04] <level15> tanker_: X11???
[03:04] <budz0r> will a program that advertises 'written for kde' work with gnome? what are the differences between the shells?
[03:04] <heogen> with extention png
[03:04] <Steve__> do you mean /etc/network/interfaces ?
[03:04] <tanker_> yes
[03:04] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: check out BHelts post on http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-475013.html
[03:04] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: so.. from what i get, its an Acer specific bug
[03:04] <tanker_> sorry, working on two problems at once :)
[03:04] <level15> Steve__: set ip by hand and try to ping the router to make sure connections are fine
[03:04] <heogen> install new theme .png
[03:05] <jared> budzor, in essence, they are written for ubuntu, kde and gnome are just "desktops" should work from my experience, cant gurantee no problems tho
[03:05] <Flannel> budz0r: It will.  They use different toolkits to draw themselves.  It just means when you're using a KDE program inside of gnome, you also have the KDE libraries in memory
[03:05] <rmitchell> budz0r, what app? generally it doesn't matter, you can have kde libraries under gnome, i run amarok in gnome
[03:05] <heogen> how can i do that?
[03:05] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: modprobe will try to start the device, there is an acer specific flag
[03:05] <rww> To install KDE in Ubuntu, I can just do sudo aptitude install kde, right?
[03:05] <Flannel> rww: kubuntu-desktop
[03:05] <sine> rww: how can i access the mounted partitions with my normal user account that i create with root seeing as i cant create a mount in normal user mode
[03:05] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: there are lots of other acer users experiencing the same problem
[03:05] <jared> budzor, and to run kde programs and if you only have gnome desktop installed, you will need to install kde librarys, but this is usually automatic with installing programs
[03:05] <Steve__> tried that.  it says "destination host unreachable"
[03:05] <rww> Flannel: won't that install all the kubuntu branding too?
[03:05] <Flannel> rww: Yes
[03:05] <tanker_> anyone here using 8.04 on Dell Latitude C800?
[03:05] <budz0r> Flannel, rmitchell, no specific app. i just stayed away from the apps i wanted that said 'written for kde' or something like that... like 'mail program for KDE' etc
[03:06] <YaroMan86> Why does REISUB not work in Intrepid? Did Canonical compile the Linux kernel with the magic sysrq keys turned off or something?
[03:06] <level15> Steve__: that should not happen... that's a routing err msg, and in order to ping your router you should not have to route traffic
[03:06] <endoubt> tanker_: it's doubtful, we pride ourselves on diversity
[03:06] <budz0r> rww, don't forget about your GDM too. i think you'll have to make sure you run KDE on startup instead of gnome
[03:06] <usser> !reisub
[03:06] <usser> !sysrq
[03:07] <rmitchell> budz0r: they should run without a problem
[03:07] <YaroMan86> usser: I know what they are, I'm wondering why they don't work AT ALL in Intrepid?
[03:07] <usser> YaroMan86, should work
[03:07] <rww> YaroMan86: they do. for me, anyway
[03:07] <Steve__> level15: that's true.  any sugguestions?
[03:07] <usser> YaroMan86, if its in factoids, should work
[03:07] <YaroMan86> usser: Should != Does
[03:07] <Flannel> YaroMan86: its possible you're completely locked up.  Do capslock/numlock/scrolllock work?
[03:07] <level15> Steve__: would it be possible to test the network on windows or a linux  live cd?
[03:07] <YaroMan86> usser: It's been consistent ever since I intalled Intrepid. compiz crashed the system. not even REISUB works. Never did that in HArdy or older.
[03:08] <Nutt718> Hello all, does anyone know of a UBUNTU application that will accept Windows media 9 audio stream?
[03:08] <Steve__> yeah. i could give that a try..
[03:08] <AltGrave> Nutt718: Most should with the right codec
[03:08] <YaroMan86> Flannel: Ew. So some bug is causing compiz to lock up the whole system?
[03:08] <Flannel> YaroMan86: Try using REISUB sometime when your system isn't locked up.
[03:08] <level15> Steve__: yah... that's all i've got
[03:08] <endoubt> Nutt718: VLC might
[03:08]  * YaroMan86 will try it now.
[03:08] <Flannel> YaroMan86: that'll verify that it works (and isn't disabled, etc)
[03:08] <budz0r> Nutt718, i think VLC will play a text file if you tell it to. it usually plays anything
[03:08] <level15> Steve__: :-P
[03:08] <Steve__> level15: ok thanks.. at least that'll tell me where the problem is. :P
[03:09] <level15> Steve__: yup, just to make sure
[03:09] <AltGrave> Nutt718: Try opening it with Totem, it will give you an option to download the codec from the repository
[03:09] <Steve__> ok. wish me luck.  see ya
[03:09] <level15> cya
[03:09] <YaroMan86> Flannel: Nope. Just floods me with a TON of gnome-screenshot.
[03:09] <Codemaster> endoubt: yeah, fdisk detects all 4 partitions
[03:09] <Codemaster> and gparted even shows all 4
[03:09] <Codemaster> i just can't mount them :/
[03:09] <Nutt718> AltGrave, thanks, will try Totem. I could not find anywhere to edit VLC
[03:09] <endoubt> Codemaster: what type of partitions?
[03:10] <Flannel> YaroMan86: No idea.  I don't have Intrepid to try it out.  You could file a bug report (since that's certainly bugworthy)
[03:10] <Codemaster> ntfs
[03:10] <endoubt> Codemaster: if you pasted the pastebin link I missed it cause my pidgin sounds aren't working
[03:10] <level15> so... does anyone here use encrypted volumes?
[03:10] <Codemaster> nah i didnt lol sorry
[03:10] <Codemaster> i rebooted into windows, so :)
[03:10] <YaroMan86> Flannel: to Launchpad I go.
[03:10] <Codemaster> (and playing left 4 dead)
[03:10] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: seems like the alsa-lib alsa-utl file links are broken
[03:10] <budz0r> level15, i use trucrypt to manage my incrypted drives. have you tried it?
[03:10] <ohletmeinnowgodd> hi guys, how do i check the installed packages on my system? I have VLC installed but i cant find it anywhere in synaptic...i installed it manually via terminal...
[03:10] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:when i run i just get  bash: syntax error near unexpected token
[03:11] <level15> budz0r: no, i am using dm-crypt, but have some issues with it
[03:11] <inflex> can you cahnge the settings of the Ubuntu GNOME file-selector dialog so that it doesn't go ahead and try to determine the filetypes or get thumbnails of things etc allthe time?
[03:11] <inflex> because I've got several directories containing thousands of items and it just takes sooooooooooooo long.
[03:11] <budz0r> level15, google trucrypt - its free and i like it a lot :)
[03:11] <Flannel> ohletmeinnowgodd: If you installed it outside of package management (tar.gz, bin, etc) it won't ever be visibile in synaptic (or any other package manager)
[03:11] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: compiling is a tricky beast, it's a very satisfying experience when all the dependencies are met, but otherwise can be a real headache
[03:11] <budz0r> level15, warning: it MIGHT not be exaclty what you are looking for. read about it frist.
[03:12] <level15> budz0r: yeah, i've seen it, was planning to use it for my win partition
[03:12] <ohletmeinnowgodd> flannel, i "sudo apt-install"ed it
[03:12] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: I couldn't find any obvious missing dependencies in that code you pasted but I'm sure that's what the problem is
[03:12] <Flannel> ohletmeinnowgodd: then it should show up in synaptic, yes.
[03:12] <heogen> hi, anyone know how can to install theme with .png
[03:12] <ohletmeinnowgodd> flannel: maybe im not using the "search" field right?
[03:12] <ohletmeinnowgodd> :S
[03:13] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:  hmm.. kinda over my head
[03:13] <heogen> how can to install theme?
[03:13] <roadfish> how do I play dpg video files in Ubuntu?
[03:13] <heogen> new theme
[03:13] <Flannel> ohletmeinnowgodd: could be.  Instead of searching try this, if you remember the package name, go to the list of all packages, click in the list, and then just start typing the name
[03:13] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: you may not have to update the alsa drivers, try finding some other software (other than Skype) to test the microphone, to make sure it's not just a skype issue
[03:13] <endoubt> roadfish: try VLC
[03:13] <budz0r> level15, well thats what i really like about it. it has windows and linux versions so they are very compatible. if anything you could just format that little sucker and use trucrypt this time to be sure you won't have any problems.
[03:13] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:  no, soundrecorder donesnt work for it either
[03:14] <level15> budz0r: i was hoping it would not come to that, but maybe...
[03:14] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:how can i updat the drivers
[03:14] <budz0r> heogen, just go to preferences > appearence and drag the new theme zip file into the window
[03:14] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: in the forums there were some people who had success with the Live CD
[03:14] <sliverchair> how do I join a microsoft network?
[03:14] <budz0r> sliverchair, !samba
[03:14] <Flannel> sliverchair: Try ##windows, thanks
[03:14] <level15> sliverchair: use samba
[03:14] <rmitchell> !samba
[03:14] <WillyWonka389> endobut:  really?,
[03:14] <Flannel> sliverchair: Ah, samba.  Yes, try samba.
[03:14] <akahige2> took the plunge and upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid and am having problems.... during boot up, progress hits a point where it just stalls for about 4 minutes, and then takes off. because it's buried behind a GUI, I can't tell what wall it's hitting... is there any way to diagnose this?
[03:15] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: which might indicate that the specific settings on the live cd are different from those on the install
[03:15] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: i guess i look for the files in there then huh?
 I do that
[03:15] <drog> akahige2, alt+f1?
[03:15] <budz0r> level15, can you get to that data in windows?
[03:15] <endoubt> WillyWonka389: the further away you get from a base install, the harder it is for people to help :-)
[03:15] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:  this was ubuntuforums
[03:15] <budz0r> heogen, and it doesnt work?
[03:15] <level15> budz0r: no, i only use it under linux
[03:15] <akahige2> @drog: does that shell out of the GUI?
 no
[03:16] <budz0r> level15, then now'd you make it in the first place?
[03:16] <WillyWonka389> endoubt:  yeah, i was wondering right now if its even worth it
[03:16] <level15> akahige2: pass kernel parameters to grub so that it does not use the boot splash and you can see what's going on
[03:16] <budz0r> heogen, ok, extract the files till they are just a folder on your desktop. try dragging that into the window.
[03:16] <endoubt> afk
[03:16] <roadfish> endoubt: thanks ... I was trying mplayer but it didn't work
[03:16] <budz0r> i had to do that once
[03:16] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: i think its just because its broken....
[03:16] <Codemaster> endoubt: so the entire issue is, basically, it's not showing different block devices under mapper for the partitions :|
[03:16] <tpw_rules> hey, im having a prob with an acer aspire one i just got
[03:17] <akahige2> @level15: what do I do with that info once I get it?
 ok
[03:17] <tpw_rules> i installed ubuntu, but it wont recognize the wireless module
[03:17] <heogen> hold on
[03:17] <level15> akahige2: hopefully there will be a msg saying what's wrong
[03:17] <budz0r> tpw_rules, what kind of wireless device is it?
[03:17] <tpw_rules> there is a restricted driver but it says its installed and enabled
[03:18] <WillyWonka389> endoubt: thanks for the help, man
[03:18] <budz0r> wow, i didn't realize i'd gained enough knowledge to actually help someone. its fulfilling lol
[03:18] <tpw_rules> budz0r: i believe its an atheros
[03:18] <endoubt> budz0r: I know what you mean
[03:18] <akahige2> level15: how do I tell grub to suppress the boot splash?
[03:18] <budz0r> tpw_rules, you may have to use ndiswrapper.
[03:18] <rmitchell> tpw_rules, run 'lspci' in a terminal and find the line about your wireless card
[03:18] <budz0r> !ndiswrapper
[03:18] <endoubt> tpw_rules: make sure it's turned on with the "Fn + (whatever)" key :-)
[03:18] <cbryeaw> has anyone tried to use tuxonice? I can't get suspend working on my asus mobo at all, would that be worth a shot to compile into the kernel?
[03:19] <budz0r> endoubt, heck yeah lol. start there.
[03:19] <level15> when grub menu shows up, you select linux entry, hit e (for edit), then delete the splash and quiet words, then enter, then b for boot
[03:19] <endoubt> tpw_rules: I've done that before, hours of screwing around to find out it was turned off
 thank you
[03:19] <level15> akahige2: ^^
[03:19] <budz0r> heogen, that work? :)
 yeah
[03:19] <tpw_rules> endoubt: the switch doesnt do anything
[03:19] <sliverchair> level15, budz0r, thanks, I got it to work by changing the workgroup
 that's right now
[03:19] <akahige2> level15: thanks!  I'll give that a shot
[03:19] <level15> akahige2: np
[03:19] <budz0r> heogen, that program is set up to read the tar.gz files etc, but sometimes you have to do what i told you to get it to work. something about it not being able to read the archive correctly.
[03:19] <snypzz> is there a gnutella for ubuntu
[03:20] <snypzz> that works
[03:20] <endoubt> tpw_rules: go to pastebin.ca and dump the output of lspci
[03:20] <budz0r> sliverchair, cool. also keep in mind that it takes samba a little while for the changes to take effect. i have no clue why.
[03:20] <dr_willis> !info gnutella
[03:20] <dr_willis> !p2p
[03:20] <tpw_rules> budz0r: ethernet controller: atheros comms. inc. AR242x 802.11abg wireless pci express adapter (rev 01)
 ok. thank you
[03:20] <endoubt> samba has personality
[03:20] <budz0r> hah, you could call it that
[03:20] <Codemaster> endoubt: any idea? lol
[03:20] <budz0r> its grumpy
 I appreciate your help
[03:21] <budz0r> heogen, yeah. you can really trick out your desktop. its fun.
 yeah is really fun
[03:22] <ubuntunoo> hi guys
[03:22] <endoubt> Codemaster: I wouldn't resize an ntfs from linux
[03:22] <ubuntunoo> is this the ubuntu support place?
[03:22] <budz0r> tpw_rules, i'm not sure about that one man. maybe one of these guys can help. the only card i ever tried was a netgear that i used ndiswrapper to configure. i got it to work but eventually just ran wires in my house.
[03:23] <endoubt> Codemaster: I've done it before with disastrous results
[03:23] <budz0r> ubuntunoo, yes
[03:23] <Codemaster> haha, yeah.
[03:23] <ubuntunoo> ok
[03:23] <ubuntunoo> good
[03:23] <izinucs> ubuntulog, yes.. just ask your question
[03:23] <endoubt> Codemaster: leave windows stuff to windows and linux stuff to linux
[03:23] <Codemaster> sigh, i'll have to look around for a 64-bit allowable vista partitioner ;)
[03:23] <ubuntunoo> well im a first timer
[03:23] <rmitchell> tpw_rules, http://blog.hyperandy.com/2008/11/01/atheros-ar242x-ubuntu-810-ibex/
[03:23] <ubuntunoo> i have xp
[03:23] <waan> Is it possible to have transparent windows in metacity?
[03:23] <poh> my laptop has sound when the lid is closed and no sound when the lid is open.  Something is backwards, but I don't know where to look.
[03:23] <poh> any ideas?
[03:23] <endoubt> Codemaster: your best bet would be getting a copy of partitionmagic
[03:24] <izinucs> poh, plug in an external monitor?
[03:24] <ubuntunoo> wanted to go to change to ubunto i installed ubunto by using wubi
[03:24] <endoubt> Codemaster: and even then I would back up data beforehand
[03:24] <ubuntunoo> i put in my pass/username
[03:24] <ubuntunoo> after that i come to a destop with nothing on it
[03:24] <izinucs> !wubi
[03:24] <budz0r> ubuntunoo, ask your question in one message. its hard to read over several. what do you mean by 'nothing'?
[03:25] <poh> izinucs wow, it has been like this for over a year and I never thought of pluging in a monitor
[03:25] <Codemaster> yeah, i don't think the newest version supports vista, funny enough
[03:25] <Codemaster> but i'll check :)
[03:25] <ubuntunoo> Well after i put in my username nas password i come to a destop with no icons withso over
[03:25] <endoubt> Codemaster: in my experience you have a 60% chance of successfully screwing with multiple partition sizes (with working OS's on each) and then to add the complexity of RAID5 to that equation
[03:25] <izinucs> poh, might also need an external keyboard and mouse .. :)
[03:25] <ubuntunoo> just a mouse
[03:25] <izinucs> poh, what version ubuntu are you on?
[03:25] <budz0r> ubuntunoo, no menus either?
[03:25] <ubuntunoo> nope nothing
[03:25] <ExecutiveOrder> can someone help me with a sound problem, every now and then my card just stops working and i have to restart my computer to get it working again
[03:25] <ubuntunoo> except at the username thier is a button claeed settings
[03:26] <poh> izinucs, Intrepid, but I installed at gutsy
[03:26] <izinucs> poh, so you did the upgrade path?
[03:26] <ubuntunoo> i tried using terminal and then a box came up at the destop they said to use commands and stuff
[03:26] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: you're x is messed up
[03:26] <Mike020> What would be a good iTunes equivalent for Ubuntu? I don't mind if iPod syncing doesn't work, I just want a music player that resembles iTunes.
[03:26] <ubuntunoo> what do u mean my x?
[03:27] <budz0r> endoubt, i wonder if deleting his xorg.conf would help. it could create a new working one.
[03:27] <LSD|Ninja> Mike020: rythmbox?
[03:27] <budz0r> ubuntunoo, hang on a sec
[03:27] <ubuntunoo> ok
[03:27] <poh> izinucs, no, I had a hybrid system that got all messed up when I tried to upgrade
[03:27] <poh> izinucs, and I had to fix in manually
[03:27] <rmitchell> tpw_rules, any progress?
[03:27] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: hit Ctrl + Alt + F5 to switch to terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F7 to get back to X) and then reconfigure x server
[03:27] <ohletmeinnowgodd> !clone
[03:28] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: hang on, I'll get the command
[03:28] <ExecutiveOrder> and i get this error when i try to restart mpd ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
[03:28] <dr_willis> egads - that factoid is all curpted.. it seems....
[03:28] <tpw_rules> rmitchell: im doing it right now
[03:28] <ubuntunoo> o ok
[03:28] <izinucs> poh, if your /home partition is actually seperate from the rest you might consider reinstalling fresh and reusing /home.. that's what I ended up doing.
[03:28] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: the command is "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:28] <rmitchell> tpw_rules, if you get stuck, i've compiled madwifi a few times, i might be able to help you out
[03:28] <ExecutiveOrder> but i dont  have anything open that would be using my sound card
[03:29] <izinucs> poh, that way your data will be intact.
[03:29] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: just run through all the options, the defaults should be fine
[03:29] <ubuntunoo> endoubt where shoud i put that?
[03:29] <ExecutiveOrder> ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave : what do i do to fix this?
[03:29] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: in a terminal somewhere
[03:29] <poh> izinucs, home is separate, but that would still be a pain
[03:29] <ubuntunoo> ok
[03:30] <ubuntunoo> i tied using livecd but that doenst work
[03:30] <ubuntunoo> so ima re-install it using wubi since i just uninstalled it
[03:30] <izinucs> poh, I know it eliminated the adventure of trying to decypher the problem/issue but might just take less time to fix it that way.
[03:30] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: live cd won't give you a desktop either?
[03:30] <ubuntunoo> nope
[03:30] <ubuntunoo> i made the cd i mean but instead i just get a black screen
[03:31] <budz0r> he might have a bigger problem.
[03:31] <poh> izinucs, yeah, it probably would take less time.
[03:31] <ubuntunoo> i hear some music like the bongos
[03:31] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: in the very first menu of the live cd there are boot options
[03:31] <budz0r> lol
[03:31] <ubuntunoo> after that im done
[03:31] <ubuntunoo> ok with the live cd u mean the three options demo installition , installtion, and more about ubuntu
[03:31] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: there will be several for graphical options like -vga or something like that, try some until you get a desktop and then the one that works will tell you what the problem is
[03:32] <level15> hi. i have an encrypted USB hard drive. When pluged in, gnome pops up a window prompting me for the passwd to decrypt. when i enter it, it always says org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto.SetupPasswordError  Error setting up /dev/sdg2 - bad password?  but I know the password is right because i can access the drive doing cryptsetup luksOpen  /dev/sdb2 sdb2crypt and entering it. any ideas?
[03:32] <ExecutiveOrder> ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave: how do i fix this, i dont have anything open that is using sound , i get that error when i try to restart mpd, how can i find out what is causing it?
[03:32] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, use the person's nick that your talking to when responding so your message won't get lost in the noise.. just type the first few characters of the nick and hit TAB for easy completion.
[03:32] <budz0r> level15, not giving up i see :)
[03:32] <waan> Is it possible to have transparent windows in metacity?
[03:32] <ubuntunoo> izinusc thanks
[03:32] <ghang> how to let MPLAYER detect my external sound card but not internal built-in sound card
[03:32] <level15> budz0r: too lazy to format-reinstall... not to mention the fact i don't hae a spare 500 GB to put the data while reformatting
[03:32] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, you didn't use tab.. my nick got misspelled :) .. (that's a smiley face)
[03:33] <braeder> hi
[03:33] <budz0r> level15, good god. i thought you were talking about a jump drive haha
[03:33] <robb_m> well boys
[03:33] <budz0r> level15, you encrypted the whole drive?
[03:33] <budz0r> haha
[03:33] <level15> budz0r: esternal USB HDD
[03:33] <braeder> why do i suck at life
[03:33] <ubuntunoo> budz0r i woud like to go step by step with you, i have everything installed just put the livecd in
[03:33] <level15> budz0r: yup
[03:33] <budz0r> Bracki, not sure

[03:33] <braeder> why do /
[03:33] <level15> :-o
[03:33] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: I forget the exact details but at the livecd menu it will say something like "hit blah for more options"
[03:33] <budz0r> ubuntunoo, you might want to try with someone else. i'm not sure how long i'll be here :)
[03:34] <budz0r> level15, apparently! lol
[03:34] <Ax-Ax> aaaaah
[03:34] <losetheshizzle> braeder: you suck at life, because you just suck :)
[03:34] <endoubt> so who here is drunk?
[03:34] <pretender> how do i install mythbuntu on ubuntu 8,10
[03:34] <budz0r> endoubt, me me me!
[03:34] <meistergrado> i am a little high still :)
[03:34] <ubuntunoo> endoubt: i mean theirs a menu it says demo installition, install in windows, and learn more
[03:34] <endoubt> pretender: there is a good wiki for that
[03:35] <rmitchell> !mythbuntu
[03:35] <budz0r> !drunk
[03:35] <losetheshizzle> endoubt trying to get there
[03:35] <budz0r> lol
[03:35] <endoubt> lol
[03:35] <akahige1> upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid and am trying to fix problems.  on boot, things get stuck at "configuring network interfaces" and ntpd gets started and stopped repeatedly.  what can I do to fix this?
[03:35] <Flannel> Please take the inebriated IRC elsewhere.  Thanks.
[03:35] <level15> Well, i guess i'm typing in the cryptsetup command 4ever
[03:35] <budz0r> endoubt, :-(
[03:35] <losetheshizzle> flannel: there is no support anywhere else
[03:35] <braeder> How do i get my wireless icon back onto my panel?
[03:36]  * endoubt is jacked up on black coffee and should be finishing his research paper
[03:36]  * budz0r thinks endoubt is a fibber
[03:36] <Ax-Ax> some of my apps have gone mad. the text in them is veeery spaced. i think it is gtks fault
[03:36] <Flannel> losetheshizzle: You're welcome to get support here, but chatting belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:36] <nmq> hello people
[03:36] <ubuntunoo> to anyone, livecd is the cd we make by burning the iso image which we download from the site right?
[03:36] <budz0r> nmq, herro
[03:36] <rmitchell> braeder, alt+F2 run NetworkManger     its case sensitive
[03:36] <nmq> :P
[03:36] <blacknred0> i need a little help here... i am trying to extract a folder form a zip file and there are like 10 folders, but i would like to extract just one of them using the terminal?  how i could do this?
[03:36] <losetheshizzle> flannel: i hear yah.. i'm just evesdropping... if there's something i can add / help out with, i shall.
[03:36] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, yes
[03:37] <level15> blacknred0: no offense, but you can figure that out by yourself with the man page
[03:37] <endoubt> blacknred0: why not just extract the whole file and then copy the folder you want?
[03:37] <blacknred0> i tried :) :?
[03:37] <ubuntunoo> izinucs: ok good i put the cd in and i get three otoptins which are demo and full installtion, install inside windows, and learn more
[03:37] <nmq> is there a way to echo stuff on one terminal to another, sort of like chat in the same PC?
[03:37] <budz0r> yeah in his defense some of those man pages are crazy
[03:37] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: it doesn't give you an other options at the top and bottom of the screen?
[03:37] <ubuntunoo> izinucs: which 1 to chose?
[03:37] <Jewfro-Macabbi> nmq, wall
[03:37] <level15> nmq: yes
[03:37] <ryushe> Hi there, I'm having issues with the nvidia driver and X. every time I try to start X I get a message stating "Error: API mismatch. This nvidia driver component has version 177.82, but the kernel version does not match". Any ideas?
[03:38] <level15> nmq: take a look at write and talk
[03:38] <nmq> mkey will do, thanks
[03:38] <ubuntunoo> izinucs: im still on my orignal Os windows ep
[03:38] <level15> nmq: you might consider to set up a jabber server, though
[03:38] <ubuntunoo> xp*
[03:38] <blacknred0> level15, i am not kiddin'... the thing is that i am getting a error that says "HugeFile='On'"
[03:38] <roley> Installation question for anyone: My installer has paused at 87% on "Getting the time from a network time server" Any suggestions?
[03:38] <endoubt> ryushe: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:38] <nmq> I just want the most basic
[03:38] <budz0r> endoubt, and the rest of  you have a good night. to the bar!
[03:38] <ryushe> thanks endoubt, let me try that.
[03:38] <level15> blacknred0: could you post your cmd and output on a pastebin?
[03:38] <ryushe> the little info I found online so far isn't really working for me :(
[03:39] <level15> nmq: alrite, then write is probably what you want
[03:39] <budz0r> good luck level15
[03:39] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, you've obviously inserted the cd while still in windows.. do you want to keep windows on the computer and also have Ubuntu or would you like to wipe windows off and just have Ubuntu.. or still yet, do you want to just test Ubuntu out while in the windows environment?
[03:39] <level15> budz0r: thanks
[03:39] <nmq> thanks
[03:39] <Mike020> I'm using Ubuntu through Wubi, how can I view my Windows XP files when I'm in Ubuntu. What's the directory?
[03:39] <ubuntunoo> i would like to wipe windows off and just have ubuntu
[03:39] <endoubt> izinucs: oh, good point, I didn't realize that's what he was doing
[03:39] <level15> ubuntunoo: way to go! :P
[03:39] <ubuntunoo> izinucs: im just worried if ubunto doesnt work, then im screwed right?
[03:39] <endoubt> Mike020: it's usually /media/disk
[03:40] <blacknred0> level15: sure i can do that...... give me couple of a mins and i'll do that. the file that i am trying to extract is 20gb, so it might take awhile
[03:40] <ubuntunoo> izinics: i mean i put the main files onto a cd (my picutes and stuff)
[03:40] <roley> Does anyone know what to do if the installer hangs when it's trying to get the time from a network time server??
[03:40] <endoubt> roley: is it connected to the internet?
[03:40] <roley> nope
[03:40] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, in that case leave the cd in the drive and reboot the computer.. if the boot order goes to cd first then the live cd will boot and you can test the functionality of Ubuntu on your hardware.. being a live cd it won't touch the harddrive until you actually install.. it'll be much slower but functional.
[03:40] <roley> never was
[03:41] <level15> blacknred0: woa... then i am guessing the command is fine... you are just probably hitting some zip program, fs or kernel limit
[03:41] <mesh11> the update servers are slow, is there any other special way to update that would be better such as some sort of bittorrent updater?
[03:41] <endoubt> roley: any way you can connect it while it's installing? Linux loves to be connected to the internet during install
[03:41] <level15> endoubt: lol
[03:41] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, if there are issues then with the live cd come back here and talk about them.. there might be answers to the issues.. when ready double click the install icon
[03:41] <Mike020> endoubt: I don't see Disk in my Media directory
[03:41] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: i re-botted my comp with live cd in and it says to choose windows xp or ubuntu
[03:41] <ubuntunoo> izinic: i just choose ubuntu i will tell u what happens next
[03:41] <roley> I could but is that going to help it now?
[03:42] <zsquareplusc> mesh11: use a mirror close to you.
[03:42] <ferric84> i just downgraded ruby 1.8.7 to 1.8.6.  synaptic shows version 1.8.6 installed, but doing "ruby -v" shows 1.8.7.... how can i get these on the same page?
[03:42] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, ok
[03:42] <endoubt> Mike020: usually there is a link on the desktop called "40gb media" or something similar
[03:42] <blacknred0> level15: yeap...... that is what i thought... but i just wanted to make sure to see if i was doing something wrong....... i have a backed up file and i really don't know how i could extract that 20gb file form the zip......... any thoughts?
[03:42] <Mike020> endoubt: Nevermind, I found it in Host
[03:42] <meistergrado> Hello all, i'm having a problem with sound: firefox won't play flash videos (YouTube) properly, The video works fine, but all I get is scratchy bleeps and bloops for sound... recently upgraded to 8.10.
[03:43] <level15> blacknred0: let's see the err to figure out whose fault it is
[03:43] <mesh11> where do I find a list of apt update servers? I can only find mirrors for the distro itself.
[03:43] <GodfatherofEire> Anybody know of any way to add a screensaver? I already have it in the format of a linux distro, still GNOME, so I think the source code would be basically identical.
[03:43] <jjk2> hey guys i just installed ubuntu from vista....how do i access the files in vista from ubuntu ?
[03:43] <rmitchell> roley: someone on the ubuntu had more luck using the installer after the livecd loaded, instead of choosing 'install ubuntu' from the livecd menu
[03:43] <ubuntunoo> izinucs: a loading screen with a organge bar going back and forth like a game of ping
[03:43] <endoubt> mesh11: usually a google search for repositories will give you all sorts of goodies
[03:43] <rmitchell> or you could use the alternate cd, but your current install is pretty hosed
[03:43] <endoubt> ubuntunoo: that's a good thing
[03:43] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, that's good.. it might take a minute or two
[03:43] <Mike020> jjk2: Try looking in the host directory
[03:44] <mesh11> thanks endoubt :)
[03:44] <zsquareplusc> mesh11: system->admin->software sources (or whatever it is in english) there is a dropdown box for the mirror
[03:44] <jjk2> Mike020: host ?
[03:44] <Guest54779> how you install ubuntu from vista?
[03:44] <roley> rmitchell: That's what I did
[03:44] <jjk2> the cd
[03:44] <endoubt> roley: sometimes the alternate cd works better
[03:44] <ferric84> i just downgraded ruby 1.8.7 to 1.8.6.  synaptic shows version 1.8.6 installed, but doing "ruby -v" shows 1.8.7.... how can i get these on the same page?
[03:44] <ryushe> endoubt: tried the reconfigure thing, still no joy, get the exact same message as before :(
[03:44] <ohletmeinnowgodd> so anyone knows what i need to install to be able to play aacplus streams?
[03:45] <ohletmeinnowgodd> so anyone knows what i need to install to be able to play aacplus streams?
[03:45] <endoubt> I've had mixed results on different systems with the alternate and the live cd's, no universal conclusion
[03:45] <roley> if this alternate cd works so well why is it the alternate? "{
[03:45] <roley> :P
[03:45] <Guest54779> dual boot&? or you deleted your vista first
[03:45] <roley> I'm just ranting, it's not the end of the world
[03:45] <rmitchell> roley, its text based, not beginner friendly
[03:45] <endoubt> ryushe: can you get into ubuntu to see a desktop at all?
[03:45] <ubuntunoo> izinucs: ok well a peachish background came up, the sound of bongos played, then the screen just went black
[03:45] <roley> ahhhhhhhhhhhh I see
[03:45] <level15> roley: ppl likes GUI installers
[03:45] <ryushe> no
[03:45] <Mike020> jjk2: In your File Browser go to File System > host
[03:45] <jjk2> Guest54779: dual bot
[03:45] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, what kind of video card do you have.?
[03:45] <Jewfro-Macabbi> ohletmeinnowgodd, try faac
[03:45] <ubuntunoo> izinucs: before the backgroudn loaded it said something like timedout....
[03:46] <jjk2> Mike020: thanks!!!!
[03:46] <ryushe> it'll start the 'loading Ubuntu' screen, then drops me at a blinking underscore, at which point I've now switched to first tty
[03:46] <ubuntunoo> izinics: o god i have no idea to be honest with you
[03:46] <rmitchell> roley, if you set up your partitions already in the GUI installer, you shouldn't have too much trouble with the alt cd
[03:46] <ubuntunoo> izinics: give me a sec
[03:46] <ryushe> startx and tailing the x log file gives me the same error :(
[03:46] <endoubt> ryushe: what model nvidia card is it?
[03:46] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, is this a newer computer?
[03:46] <Mike020> jjk2: No problem, I just found it out right before you came in lol
[03:46] <ryushe> should be a GF8800 GT
[03:46] <ubuntunoo> izinics: its a dell
[03:47] <ubuntunoo> no its not a new computer
[03:47] <Guest54779> you lucky!! try places than computer)
[03:47] <endoubt> ryushe: was it working before and then stopped working or are you trying to install for the first time?
[03:47] <ubuntunoo> izinics: i mean if i use wbui i can get to the peachish background and it wont go black
[03:47] <ryushe> first time install to disk, although it's worked under windows and the Ubuntu and Mint live CDs
[03:47] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, on reboot you had a menu that gave you the choice of windows or ubuntu.. did you install ubuntu already with wubi?
[03:48] <ubuntunoo> izinucs: should i use wubi, get to login screen then go to terminal mode and put some commands in
[03:48] <ubuntunoo> no i did not
[03:48] <ubuntunoo> i uninstalled before i use the cd
[03:48] <GodfatherofEire> Anybody know if/how I can install a new screensaver to Ubuntu (ported from openSUSE, so transcoding probably wont be /too much/ of an issue.
[03:48] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, uninstalled what?
[03:48] <ryushe> last resort it to completely reinstall I guess
[03:48] <ubuntunoo> Izinucs: ubuntu using wubi
[03:48] <endoubt> ryushe: so it finishes installing in the live environment and then when it goes to reboot it dumps you with the error?
[03:48] <ryushe> pretty much yes
[03:49] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, so wubi was first and you uninstalled that .. except now when you boot you still get a menu?
[03:49] <endoubt> ryushe: what's the exact error again?
[03:49] <ryushe> I've tried downloading a newer nvidia driver, but to no avail, installing it just gives me same error but with newer version number for the driver
[03:49] <ryushe> "
[03:49] <meistergrado> How can I reinstall/fix all my drivers while still keeping my settings/setup/files? I just upgraded to 8.10 and have problems with firefox playing flash video sound, i only get scratchy feedback
[03:49] <ubuntunoo> izinucs: wubi i used first, installed that no icons on destop, uninstalled using wubi once again
[03:49] <ubuntunoo> izinucs: yes i sitll get a menu
[03:50] <ubuntunoo> Izinucs: is that bad?
[03:50] <ryushe> euh "Error: API mismatch: this NVIDIA driver component has version 177.82, but the NVIDIA kernel module's version does not match"
[03:50] <endoubt> meistergrado: google search for "reconfigure alsa"
[03:50] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, with the black screen displaying can you click ctrl+alt+F3 and get a different black screen with a prompt?
[03:50] <ubuntunoo> izinucs: lemme try
[03:50] <meistergrado> endoubt: thanks, I am aware it has something to do with that... I will try that.
[03:50] <\slash> anyone here use eclipse?? im having compilation errors..
[03:50] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: nope
[03:51] <\slash> javac runs fine
[03:51] <meistergrado> because Amarok plays MP3s fine. its output plugin is OSS.
[03:51] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: with the livecd in tray, should it give the option to choose ubuntu or windows at boot?
[03:52] <jjk2> how do i increase the hd space allocated to ubuntu? during install in vista, i only gave ubuntu 4gb....now i want to increase this to like 12gb
[03:52] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, when you reboot you might try to get into the bios of the machine and look at the boot order.. in fact on a dell you might be able to hit a key on boot to boot directly from the cd.. if there is that option reboot and choose that.. otherwise you'll have to look in the bios to rearrange the boot order of things so the cd is first and the harddrive is second.. then you should be able to boot dir
[03:52] <izinucs> ectly to the cd without encountering the menu.
[03:52] <endoubt> ryushe: check out this post http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=92885
[03:53] <meistergrado> endoubt: So I should update to the latest version of alsa?
[03:53] <mike4263> fyiy, boot menu is f12 on my dell
[03:53] <ubuntunoo> izinucs: ok i will try
[03:53] <ryushe> endoubt: thanks for the link, looks like one I found earlier. solution offered in there doesn't seem to work for me, but let me read it again

[03:58] <mannnnnnn> sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[03:58] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, so you have a black screen with a prompt
[03:59] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: i rebotted my computer, went to boot menu then selected from cd
[03:59] <meistergrado> alright. Hopefully that will work, because I just switched the audio engine in Amarok to ALSA from OSS, and I get the same scratchy feedback as sound output
[03:59] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: after that ubunto came up and a box to choose which languge
[03:59] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: i chosoe english
[03:59] <gigel2006> can someone help me ?
[03:59] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, ah good.. yep
[03:59] <endoubt> gigel2006: what's the problem?
[03:59] <gigel2006> endoubt: with the new kernel I can't connect to any wireless!! the blue bubble doesn't turn blue!! 27-7 works fine if I restart in it. my device has a  ath9k chipset, but my usb alfa doesn't work eitehr in 27-9
[04:00]  * endoubt can waste a lot of time in this room
[04:00] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, then it will buzz & wurr for a bit and leave you at the standard ubuntu desktop
[04:00] <bbbthunda> I'm unable to connect to a WEP router... but I can connect to my neighbor's unsecured router fine.  Been scouring the internet for probably 6 hours now for a solution... any ideas???
[04:00] <jjk2> how to view youtube
[04:00] <mike4263> your wpasupplicant is probably screwed up
[04:00] <rmitchell> !flash | jjk2
[04:01] <jjk2> can i install it from synap
[04:01] <gigel2006> bbbthunda: I have the same problem with the new kernel
[04:01] <pan> !backports
[04:01] <gigel2006> endoubt: any idea ?
[04:02] <endoubt> gigel2006: there's a lot of people out there with the same problem
[04:02] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: now it says the following: Install Ubuntu, Check CD for defects, Test Memory, and Boot from first hard drive on the bottom then it says press f4 to select alternative start up and installition modes then underneath that their is f1-help f2-language f3-keymap f4-modes f5-accessibilitty f6-other options
[04:02] <bbbthunda> checking wpasupplicant now...
[04:02] <gigel2006> endoubt: yes but does anyone know, is it a kernel bug ?
[04:02] <endoubt> gigel2006: if you can't get anything from the forums then you could bounce back to hardy
[04:02] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, is this the live cd or the alternate cd?
[04:02] <gigel2006> endoubt: I could just use 27-7, 27-9 is the one after the update
[04:02] <ubuntunoo> izinucs: the livecd from which i burend using the iso image
[04:03] <endoubt> gigel2006: my broadcomm driver just got all the kinks worked out a week ago and I'm on hardy
[04:03] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, click install ubuntu.. it won't .. it'll just take you to the live desktop..
[04:03] <endoubt> gigel2006: can you roll it back?
[04:03] <ubuntunoo> iz: ok
[04:03] <rmitchell> gigel12006, i believe you can force the kernal to stay at a version that works, i.e. 27-7
[04:03] <bbbthunda> gigel2006 I'm running 8.04... assuming you mean 8.10
[04:03] <b1n42y> hey all, anyone know how to add Fn functionality to my toshiba tablet, i know it has to do with kernel and acpi ? or has this not been fixed ?
[04:03] <jm_> hi
[04:03] <gigel2006> endoubt: sure, since on boot it can give you the option for the original one that was installed
[04:03] <gigel2006> bbbthunda: yeah I was , sorry
[04:04] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: well im back to th ping=pong orange bar again
[04:04] <gigel2006> rmitchell: yes you don't have to force it, you have the 27-7 option on boot
[04:04] <endoubt> gigel2006: is there some other reason to be with the new kernel?
[04:04] <gigel2006> endoubt: no but I thought new would be better :)
[04:04] <Rolcol> Haha, this channel is 1337.  (Total users)
[04:04]  * rmitchell thinks he'll hold off on updating his kernel
[04:04] <gigel2006> endoubt: that's why they work on it no ?
[04:05]  * endoubt learned to stick with what works when the machine he is on is crucial to everyday tasks.
[04:05] <mike4263> I was going to upgrade but ever since I got my broadcom wl driver in hardy I'm gonna stick with it for a while :)
[04:05] <Rolcol> Has anyone else had a problem with evolution's spam filter not working appropriately and showing errors at the bottom of the screen stretching it to multiple desktops?
[04:05] <endoubt> it was a hard lesson to learn, as much as I like screwing with my computers
[04:05] <gigel2006> endoubt: why is hardy good ?
[04:05] <b1n42y> Rolcol: ye i have i just diasabled the bogfilter
[04:06] <rmitchell> gigel12006, hardy is the Long Term Release, so it tends to be more stable
[04:06] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: it said after loading
[04:06] <mike4263> the sound is garbage though.. how can you tell if you have pulseaudio or alsa enabled?
[04:06] <mannnnnnn> my under taskbar hide
[04:06] <endoubt> mike4263: I love the new broadcomm sta wireless driver
[04:06] <tpw_rules> rmitchell: i got the drivers installed, but it wont connect to my network
[04:06] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, ??
[04:06] <ubuntunoo> "time up waiting for clear bb4o bug or something like that
[04:06] <Rolcol> b1n42y:  mine seemed to fix itself when I declared items as spam
[04:06] <mannnnnnn> how can i show back my bellow taskbar
[04:06] <tpw_rules> rmitchell: i cant seem to get the card turned on
[04:06] <mike4263> endoubt: its awesome.  I can put my laptop to sleep!!
[04:06] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: now a desktop came up
[04:06] <rmitchell> tpw_rules, when you click on your wireless icon in the tray, can you see the network(s)?
[04:06] <b1n42y> Rolcol : hmm mabye different problem then
[04:07] <endoubt> mike4263: I can use the WPA enterprise at school now
[04:07] <Mal3ko> how do we tweak network and connection settings?
[04:07] <gigel2006> rmitchell: what about kubuntu, it's the same as 8.10 but just has kde instead of gnome ?
[04:07] <Rolcol> b1n42y: mine showed that it was a problem with bogfilter
[04:07] <tpw_rules> rmitchell: no
[04:07] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: a box came up which says install
[04:07] <b1n42y> Rolcol: same problem then ;p
[04:07] <tpw_rules> rmitchell: i tried the hidden network, but it failed
[04:07] <mike4263> before my keyboard would just become unresponsive to any inputs, rendering the entire system unusable
[04:07] <endoubt> mike4263: I just sent someone off with this guide to reconfigure alsa the right way http://kkubasik.wordpress.com/2008/03/31/sound-problems-in-ubuntu-hardy/
[04:07] <rmitchell> gigl2006, yes
[04:08] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: it says to answer followng questions
[04:08] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, that's a new one on me.. there is a wiki or something on dell's site for linux.. you might investigate there and search for your specific dell to see what issues people are having.. I suspect that there's a piece of hardware that's hanging everything up.. My new motherboard is like that.. took me two days to find an answer.
[04:08] <mike4263> that + the new 64 bit flash means I can finally rid my system of ndiswrapper
[04:08] <endoubt> what is the appeal of 64 bit?
[04:08] <b1n42y> Rolcol: gmail filters my spam so i just turned bog off
[04:08] <meistergrado> endoubt: after completing the last step of that, I get an error: Build of the package alsa-source failed! I have the options of VIEW, CONTINUE, and STOP
[04:08] <rww> gigel2006: kubuntu is ubuntu + kde, yes. I don't know if kubuntu had an 8.04 LTS, though... seem to remember something about them not having one
[04:08] <rmitchell> tpw_rules, were you able to 'sudo modprobe ath_pci'?
[04:08] <endoubt> meistergrado: oh boy, view?
[04:08] <Oneiroii> Hey all.
[04:08] <gigel2006> rmitchell: btw try to use tab funtion for auto complete, I had to look through the whole chat to see if you wrote to me since you got my nickname spelt wrong my client didnt pick it up
[04:08] <mike4263> thanks, I've configured it before and it usually works.  But its just not working for whatever reason and I'd like to restart the server
[04:08] <meistergrado> view: examine the build log file
[04:08] <Rolcol> b1n42y:  comcast is my default email... I'm trying to use it less
[04:09] <Jewfro-Macabbi> endoubt, touch faster, virtualization support
[04:09] <tpw_rules> rmitchell: yes
[04:09] <rmitchell> gigl2006, my bad, caught it after i entered it
[04:09] <gigel2006> rmitchell: lol you just did it again
[04:09] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: ok well do, thanks for all ur help appreciate it
[04:09] <tpw_rules> rmitchell: and it shows a grayed out 'Wireless Networks' in the tray menu that wasnt there before
[04:09] <meistergrado> CONTINUE: skip and continue with the next operation, or STOP: stop processing the build commands
[04:09] <b1n42y> Rolcol: gmail is ok if u dont have account geta mate to send u invite
[04:10] <endoubt> meistergrado: try skipping
[04:10] <endoubt> lol
[04:10] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, np.. sorry I can't be of more help
[04:10] <meistergrado> I will
[04:10] <Rolcol> b1n42y:  gmail is public now
[04:10] <rww> b1n42y: you don't need to get invites for gmail any more :)
[04:10] <Rolcol> b1n42y: no need to invites
[04:10] <Rolcol> *for
[04:10] <endoubt> Rolcol: but still beta :-)
[04:10] <rmitchell> tpw_rules, you're sure your wifi button/switch is on?
[04:10] <b1n42y> if anyone knows how to add acpi to kernel so my tablet PC has Fn and dynamic cpu switching can u PM me plz
[04:10] <Rolcol> endoubt: everything google always is.  Android Market Beta...
[04:10] <endoubt> Am I gay if my favorite gmail theme is tea house?
[04:11] <gigel2006> I have a common problem, but I haven't gotten any fixes, WHY is the wireless signal so LOW in ubuntu, I am using the usb alfa which is using either rtl8187 or r8187, but both of them run with much lower singnals than in windows, What an I do I don't want to quit using ubunut ??
[04:11] <tpw_rules> rmitchell: thats the prob, not sure
[04:11] <b1n42y> rww: ohh ok
[04:11] <b1n42y> rww: ive had it for ageeeeeeeeessss
[04:11] <meistergrado> endoubt: I am going to restart to see if that did anything. I hit skip and it went back to the terminal
[04:11] <Jewfro-Macabbi> b1n42y, try compiling your own kernel, it's not all that difficult on Debian based systems
[04:11] <tpw_rules> rmitchell: its a slider so i slide to toggle, but i cant get the light that says 'on' to light up :/
[04:11] <tpw_rules> it works perfectly in windoze
[04:11] <rmitchell> gigel2006, some cards report the signal lower than it is, unless you find it actually is lower..
[04:12] <roley> rmitchell: I tried the text based installer. seemed to work, then it hangs at "Scanning the mirror" for apt configure... and this time it's succesfully wired into the network!?
[04:12] <gigel2006> rmitchell: it's not about reporting, but it is lower, you can check with ping and speed tests, the connection also fluctuates
[04:12] <Oneiroii> That was odd.
[04:12] <b1n42y> Jewfro-Macabbi: : mmm so many projects im working on atm, was hoping for a shortcut, nvm ill add it to do list
[04:12]  * endoubt is out for a smoke.
[04:13] <ubuntunoo> iz: just want to know if i wanted to repalce my whole os with ubunix, how wud i do that?
[04:13] <mixed-_-> anyone knows how to test if the NIC drivers are installed or not?
[04:14] <rmitchell> roley, that is strange... not a good day for an install i guess...
[04:14] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, well if the live cd doesn't run the chances of it working without knowing what is currently wrong now is slim.. you have to solve that issue first.
[04:14] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: i think i have
[04:14] <Oneiroii> mixed-_-: lsmod?
[04:14] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, really.. what's the answer?
[04:14] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: im going through th esteps to set everthing up like name, country place, how much space and stuff
[04:15] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, so the screen is working?  good .. just keep going and for space tell it to use the entire drive..
[04:16] <rmitchell> tpw_rules, i found another tutorial. google 'ar242x ubuntu ibex' and check out the 3rd link down
[04:16] <Jewfro-Macabbi> b1n42y, http://paste.debian.net/22539 - for future reference
[04:16] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: iwas right! my ada wasl ike dont do that and blah made me go back
[04:16] <ubuntunoo> my dad*
[04:16] <jjk2> god it takes so long to install programs....it tkaes forever to download
[04:16] <tpw_rules> rmitchell: thanks, will try
[04:17] <tpw_rules> gotta go to bed now
[04:17] <endoubt> !alsa
[04:17] <Diav> So my girlfriend's PC developed a problem after patching to 8.10 (I think), a few seconds after boot she can access the file system... it's like her user id has lost permission to it. Any ideas?
[04:17] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, so he stopped you from installing or are you continuing?
[04:17] <Diav> er, can't access the file system
[04:18] <sakflafor> join #emacs
[04:18] <foureggs> could anyone tell me what the bash command is to create a file?
[04:18] <mixed-_-> Oneiroii:  ok i run lsmod, what am i looking for?
[04:18] <loaz4> I have installed sun jre from repo's for loading java applet in browser but still it doesnt run, do I have to manually install java ?
[04:18] <endoubt> Diav: can root/sudo access it?
[04:18] <\slash> fourregs mkdir
[04:18] <mike4263> foureggs: touch <some file>
[04:18] <mike4263> you can also cat > someFile
[04:18] <mixed-_-> foureggs:  touch "filename"
[04:18] <\slash> err
[04:18] <\slash> file lol my bad
[04:18] <\slash> i thought dir
[04:18] <ubuntunoo> izinic: no he stoped me from usingfull thinking i cant install anything up, but i fixed it
[04:19] <mike4263> I usually use cat as a quick way to c+p something into new filles
[04:19] <roley> rmitchell is there a way to stop the installer from using the internet during the install so this stupid thing doesn't stall?
[04:19] <ubuntunoo> izinic: i finished the last step and its now installing system
[04:19] <mike4263> cat > newFile; CTRL+SHIFT+V; CTRL+D
[04:19] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, so you're running the live cd? or back to windows? or what?
[04:19] <Oneiroii> mixed-_-: I don't know - whatever the name of your NIC driver is
[04:19] <rhljnk> i have intel chipset compiz not working wats the solution ?
[04:19] <Diav> endoubt: Yes and no. I can access it with sudo provided I start terminal before it happens. So I have to be quick... but I can't start terminal after it happens. It's very difficult to do. I can only do one or two clicks before it happens.
[04:19] <ubuntunoo> izinic: still using livecd
[04:20] <ubuntunoo> izinic: its just installing now i suppose
[04:20] <Diav> endoubt: Point is I'm not sure if I can reproduce it, but I did get into terminal once.
[04:20] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, cool.. will your dad approve? or be pissed?
[04:20] <rmitchell> roley, not sure, you may be able to skip the network setup part of it
[04:20] <endoubt> someone test my sounds by saying my name
[04:20] <samurai_spud> so what's the difference between ubuntu and gentoo?
[04:21] <rmitchell> endoubt, sound test
[04:21] <Static--> endoubt:
[04:21] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: no no he just thought, if i choose use full space, then i cant install any other programs lol
[04:21] <mike4263> samurai_spud: well, ubuntu is based on debian and uses .debs.  gentoo is primarily a source based distro
[04:21] <endoubt> thanks, had to switch it to alsa in the preferences :-)
[04:21] <mike4263> so if you like to sit around while while stuff is compiling then gentoo is for you!
[04:21] <meistergrado> endoubt: No change in youtube videos. still scratchy junk :(
[04:22] <Diav> I suppose I could just reinstall... but I've had to do that after prior updates... and I'm not looking forward to doing it again. Getting her printer/copier/scanner to work takes forever.
[04:22] <mike4263> meistergrado: are you on a 64 bit system by chance?
[04:22] <endoubt> meistergrado: any luck with another browser? like opera?
[04:22] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, full install takes less space than windows.. and it has all the programs you need typically.. then you can add tons more.
[04:22] <meistergrado> I am on a 64 bit system
[04:22] <ubuntunoo> izinics: yes yes glad i choose to do so :D
[04:22] <mike4263> adobe just released a alpha 64bit version of flash 10
[04:22] <meistergrado> with ubuntu x64
[04:22] <ubuntunoo> izinics: im up to 37%
[04:22] <mike4263> its not perfect, but its better then the alternatives
[04:23] <meistergrado> I will try both downloading the new flash 10 x64, and also opera
[04:23] <endoubt> I still don't understand 64 bit systems, the performance increase is negligible and the headaches are double
[04:23] <samurai_spud> yeah but the flash 10 alpha and the icetea plugin for ffox don't seem to play well for my system...
[04:23] <viaSanctus> geuss urpmi doesnt work on ubuntu?
[04:23] <samurai_spud> it's all about precision
[04:23] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, I take it this is your machine?
[04:23] <Diav> So, no ideas? 3-5 seconds after gnome starts the file-system is read-only to the user I'm logged in as. Works fine that first 3-5 seconds, doesn't work after... can't even access ~
[04:23] <mike4263> I'm currently on a java project, so I have like 6 different jdks
[04:23] <ubuntunoo> izinics: yes it is my personal machine
[04:23] <mike4263> its currently a mess
[04:24] <ubuntunoo> izinic: the one i am on now is my lil bros which is vista
[04:24] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, you in college yet?
[04:24] <mike4263> because the openjdk 64bit won't display gui apps properly
[04:24] <ubuntunoo> izinics; no i am a junior in highschool
[04:24] <mike4263> and there are random crashes with some of them
[04:24] <endoubt> Diav: roll back to the old kernel
[04:24] <ericjung> how can i tell what kind of wifi card my laptop has?
[04:24] <endoubt> ericjung: lspci
[04:24] <Al1> No volume control Gstreamer plugins and/or devices found. What happened my sound card was working just fine i restarted and now i get this?
[04:24] <Diav> endoubt: I booted with a prior kernel, same issue.
[04:25] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, you're pretty adventerous.. it's a great time for you to learn linux.. I'll help you a lot in the future..
[04:25] <endoubt> Diav: create a new user and see if it happens to them too
[04:25] <mike4263> ubuntunoo: take the plunge.  you won't regret it
[04:25] <ericjung> endoubt: thx
[04:25] <ubuntunoo> izinuc: haha thank you =], its just windows xp is so boring and i heard about ubutnu on a forum, wanted to try something new and i always loved the way linux designs its OS
[04:26] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, It's a good place to be.. I'm just an old dog learning new tricks
[04:26] <endoubt> after using linux I have a lot of respect for Microsoft and the Windows line
[04:26] <mike4263> ubuntunoo: if your system is powerful enough, you can also install XP under VirtualBox
[04:26] <Diav> I'll try, brb.
[04:26] <endoubt> how do you make an operating system that just works with every piece of hardware you throw at it?
[04:27] <meistergrado> the .deb download of Opera didn't install. says wrong architecture (i386)
[04:27] <ubuntunoo> izinics: hehe lol ill be the same as u hopefully one day, o and btw if ur wondering why my username is ubuntounoo, i tried writing ubuntunoob
[04:27] <izinucs> endoubt, you strong arm the manufactures to build drivers for you
[04:27] <ubuntunoo> little typo
[04:27] <mike4263> engage in monopolistic practices and force manufacturers to conform to your operating system
[04:27] <samurai_spud> endoubt, you practice the darkest of dark arts
[04:27] <gnutron> mike4263: bingo
[04:27] <izinucs> ubuntunoo, /nick <new name>
[04:28] <endoubt> wow, some pessimistic views from the peanut gallery :-)
[04:28] <Al1> ok
[04:28] <Al1> why does pidgin hate me?
[04:28] <ubuntulover> izinuc: thanks
[04:28] <izinucs> ubuntulover, np :-)
[04:28] <Al1> As soon as i run Pidgin i got Audio problems
[04:28] <ubuntulover> Al1: dont u use pidgin for irc?
[04:29] <Al1> No i use xchat
[04:29] <endoubt> I have little respect for Mac, because to me, they're worse than windows, design a Unix operating system and have total control over the hardware so that you know it always works
[04:29] <ubuntulover> Al1: ah ok
[04:29] <izinucs> ubuntulover, xchat for the gui and irssi for the terminal .. after install learn them and love them
[04:29] <mike4263> endoubt: it'll work for like 3 or 4 revisions until they abandon you completely
[04:29] <bbbthunda> i have /etc/default/wpasupplicant but no /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
[04:29] <jjk2> what is diff between synaptics and yum ?
[04:30] <mike4263> I have a friend who has a tiger system that he cant get new software for
[04:30] <ubuntulover> izinucs: i gotta leatn all this terminal stuff, just gotta get ubunto to wkr and im set to go
[04:30] <mike4263> jj2k: yum is rpm based, synaptic is deb based
[04:30] <Al1> Could someone please help me diagnose this problem?
[04:30] <mike4263> yum is also command line
[04:30] <jjk2> what is rpm and deb ?
[04:30] <bbbthunda> is wpasupplicant the same as wpa_supplicant?
[04:30] <mike4263> aptitude is its equivalent
[04:30] <ubuntulover> izinuc: well it looks like its done installing and screen went black onc e again, guess it takes time to load
[04:31] <endoubt> ubuntulover: just wait until your X breaks and you HAVE to learn terminal :-)
[04:31] <mike4263> bbbthunda: yes... although I've been thinking about it since I told you that.  I'm not 100% sure if its used for WEP encryption
[04:31] <soreau> endoubt: lol
[04:31] <meistergrado> How do I install opera? downloading the ubuntu 8.10 .deb from their website did not work.
[04:31] <sloopy> jjk2, synaptic is a gui based package management for deb based distros, yum is a cli based package manager for rpm based distros
[04:31] <mike4263> rpm = red hat package managment deb = debian packages
[04:31] <jjk2> i c
[04:31] <joeb3_> meistergrado, apt-get install opera
[04:31] <jjk2> what is the significance of those
[04:32] <bbbthunda> mike4263: from the research I've done so far it seems like it is
[04:32] <ubuntulover> izinuc: false alarm the black screen was just a screensaver, its still installing
[04:32] <izinucs> meistergrado, go to http://www.getdeb.net and get it there..
[04:32] <endoubt> meistergrado: check out ubernoobs post on this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75940
[04:32] <mike4263> well, if your using ubuntu you dont need to worry about yum or rpm
[04:32] <izinucs> ubuntulover, takes a total of about 30-40 minutes.
[04:32] <sloopy> jjk2, depending on the distro of linux you run you would use them for installing/updating/removing software packages
[04:32] <ubuntulover> To all: so im taking it everyone here is in colleage or above?
[04:32] <mike4263> yes
[04:32] <izinucs> ubuntulover, about 3 hours faster then win with all the updates.
[04:33] <jjk2> so if im running xubuntu?
[04:33] <\slash> how do i get a list of apt-get applications
[04:33] <jjk2> what if im running centOS
[04:33] <mike4263> thats deb
[04:33] <jjk2> centos is rpm then
[04:33] <sloopy> xubuntu uses synaptic, centos uses yum

[04:38] <meistergrado> is firefox the 64-bit version?
[04:38] <samurai_spud> meistergrado, I went through this the other night... if you are on amd64 or what not, install the alpha flash 10 player... Disable icetea *or* avoid javascript while viewing flash
[04:39] <mike4263> yeah, go with the alpha version of 10
[04:39] <After_Math> whats the best way to add windows to grub?
[04:39] <After_Math> I cant seem to get it to work
[04:39] <After_Math> ive been trying a few different methods
[04:39] <Diav> endoubt: Well, another user works totally fine.
[04:39] <samurai_spud> meistergrado, then disable flash while browsing everything else. it sort of sucks but it beats segfaulting when I view gmail, or not being able to use sliderocket.com
[04:39] <meistergrado> I have gone through so many installations of different flash players, etc, i think i've sort of mangled the ubuntu installation up, so there I think a fresh install would be better... how do I find out what i've done it?
[04:39] <meistergrado> what I've done to it*
[04:40] <Diav> endoubt: One obvious difference I noticed was on her account the indexer starting to scan seemed to corrispond with when the problem starts.
[04:40] <samurai_spud> meistergrado, I tried opera, same lack of joy.
[04:40] <Diav> But I can't disable it.
[04:40] <ubuntulover> izinuc: well the same black screen came up, i guess ima have to play around and stuff and eventaully get it myself
[04:40] <ubuntulover> Thanks for all ur help everyone
[04:40] <meistergrado> How can I find out if i've installed the non-free flash?
[04:40] <endoubt> Diav: easiest thing to do would be to import her settings to the new user and scap the old one
[04:40] <mike4263> that black screen is wonderful :)
[04:40] <Diav> By the time I can get into the indexer settings the ID has already lost access and I can't update them.
[04:40] <samurai_spud> meistergrado, no, you will be ok, just dpkg -P the flash installs, maybe nuke your .mozilla/plugins
[04:40] <izinucs> meistergrado, go to synaptic and search for flash .. once there uninstall all flash players except the non free one.
[04:40] <endoubt> Diav: user issues in linux can get quite complicated
[04:40] <nivektrio> hi what driver should i be looking for w/ my Ethernet card with a chip ID number: DL100305? please help.......
[04:41] <meistergrado> izunics: will do
[04:41] <samurai_spud> meistergrado, then install flash 10 alpha player.
[04:41] <mike4263> nivektrio: your  ethernet wasn't supported out of box? is it new hardware
[04:41] <Diav> endoubt: Alright, well thanks for the help.
[04:41] <meistergrado> what is "dpkg -P?"
[04:41] <endoubt> meistergrado: after that you can "sudo updatedb" and then "sudo locate flash" and physicall delete all the references to it so that you don't get stuck with cached packages and whatnot
[04:41] <meistergrado> nuke = straight up delete?
[04:41]  * samurai_spud has user issues and requires a large pointy object to deal with them effectively.
[04:41] <mike4263> I typically expect ethernet to just work
[04:41] <egalotti> hi, if anyone has a second i have a stupid question.
[04:42] <mike4263> egalotti: just ask
[04:42] <nivektrio> mike4263: i was dual booting with windows... no installer was w/it.. :(
[04:42] <mike4263> hm
[04:42] <egalotti> apparently i was able to connect to this channel, but i can't connect to #paranoidlinux on freenode
[04:42] <mike4263> is your nick registered?
[04:42] <samurai_spud> nivektrio,  dlink card, huh?
[04:42] <egalotti> registered? i don't think so.
[04:42] <nivektrio> yes.. i was looking for it in the neet but, idont know if its DFE or somthing..
[04:43] <nivektrio> i just look in its chip number.. DL100305? no DFE or DE, etc.. specified..
[04:43] <TopBunny88> hello
[04:43] <samurai_spud> what does lspci -v think about it? it usually (with 2.6 kernels can match up drivers + cards pretty well)
[04:43] <mike4263> nivektrio: is it a laptop or desktop?
[04:43] <l7> is there an easy way to run firefox from a USB stick while saving all it's settings to that USB stick as well?
[04:43] <nivektrio> mike4263: desktop.
[04:43] <endoubt> if anyone is searching for a cheap Hardy compatible laptop my Compaq C500 works beautifully right out of the box
[04:43] <EvL_Gamer> Does anyone know of a way to save quicktime files to local disc on linux?  I have quicktime pro on my windos box, but there is no official quicktime pro for linux that i know of...
[04:43] <meistergrado> in add/remove applications, I have Gnash, macromedia flash plugin, and GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin installed
[04:44] <meistergrado> I'm sure those are not playing well together.
[04:44] <meistergrado> i cannot uninstall gnash, however
[04:44] <izinucs> meistergrado, gstreamer is probably ok.. get rid of gnash and macromedia flash plugin
[04:44] <izinucs> meistergrado, from synaptic?
[04:45] <meistergrado> "Cannot remove 'gnash'
[04:45] <meistergrado> One or more applications depend on gnash. To remove gnash and the dependent applications, use the Synaptic package manager."
[04:45] <meistergrado> oh, I will try removing gnash from synaptic
[04:45] <nivektrio> mike4263: i was close in DFE 550TX but the chip id is DL10050D which is here: http://www.cibo-grupa.hr/images/big_pictures/network/DFE-550TX.jpg, but mine is DL100305.. i cant find it in DLink site.. :(
[04:46] <meistergrado> oh. macromedia flash plugin was the "nonfree" thing
[04:46] <ubuntulover> Ok to anyone this is not good
[04:46] <endoubt> EvL_Gamer: are you trying to save quicktime movies from the web or are you just trying to play them?
[04:46] <mike4263> ubuntulover: whats up?
[04:46] <ubuntulover> i installed ubutnu it doenst work, now i rebot cant get back to xp so now my comp is offical done?
[04:47] <ubuntulover> omggggg im in tears right now
[04:47] <endoubt> ubuntulover: no, if all else fails, put in your xp cd and go to the recover console
[04:47] <Andrew``> ok all, I have 4GB ram and am thinking of beginning to use ubuntu, what benefit will I get from using 64 bit?
[04:47] <endoubt> ubuntulover: once you're in the recovery console type "fixmbr" and then you'll be back on track
[04:47] <meistergrado> izinucs: which gnash-related things should I remove from synaptic?
[04:47] <izinucs> ubuntulover, ok.. what do you mean.. it doesn't work?
[04:47] <foureggs> does anyone know how to open a tgz file?
[04:47] <mike4263> Andrew``: headaches and less compatible software
[04:47] <endoubt> ubuntulover: but it will wipe out your grub and ubuntu
[04:48] <ubuntulover>  izinic: its just same smae peachish color background with no icons
[04:48] <izinucs> meistergrado, just gnash as far as I know.
[04:48] <joeb3_> foureggs, tar -zxf file.tgz
[04:48] <izinucs> ubuntulover, ok.. press ctrl+alt+f3
[04:48] <neeto> my eSATA harddrive is not recognized in /dev/sd*, how can I get ubuntu to recognize eSATA devices?
[04:48] <mike4263> you should tell him how to get back before you do that :)
[04:48] <mike4263> alt + f7, btw
[04:48] <ubuntulover> izinic: no nothing
[04:48] <joeb3_> foureggs, file-roller if you want a gui
[04:49] <meistergrado> mark for complete removal?
[04:49] <ubuntulover>  iz: should i re-use cd?
[04:49] <Conexion> wat brb
[04:49] <meistergrado> that includes getting rid of mozilla-plugin-gnash
[04:49] <izinucs> ubuntulover, no black screen with a text prompt?
[04:49] <ubuntulover> iz* nope
[04:49] <Conexion> Wrong chat, sorry xD
[04:49] <foureggs> thanks
[04:49] <izinucs> ubuntulover, reboot and when you get to the menu choose the second line.. recovery
[04:49] <neeto> my eSATA harddrive is not recognized in /dev/sd*, how can I get ubuntu to recognize eSATA devices?
[04:50] <OB1FoShoB> has anyone got their webcam working in 8.10, i upgraded from 8.04 (which worked) and now i just get green video in skype, can see others fine, i'm using a logitech quickcam communicate stx
[04:50] <EvL_Gamer> endoubt: i want to be able to download movie trailers to a local disc
[04:50] <ubuntulover> their is no recover
[04:50] <neeto> What service controls the recognition of SATA devices??
[04:50] <ubuntulover> like i rebotted
[04:50] <ubuntulover> pressed f12 for boot menu
[04:50] <endoubt> neeto: paste the output of   " fdisk -l "   to pastebin.ca and send the link to the chatroom
[04:51] <ubuntulover> iz: system setup?
[04:51] <mike4263> ubuntulover: so how did you install ubuntu?  different partitions
[04:51] <prakash_621> how can i identify the running programs ???
[04:51] <mike4263> does grub pop up on boot?
[04:51] <Ahadiel> prakash_621, top
[04:51] <ubuntulover> mike: i dont know i sued the livecd
[04:51] <izinucs> ubuntulover, you have to watch closely.. there will be something on the screen that says to hit a specific key to get the menu
[04:51] <rww> prakash_621, ps -AH, top, System > Administration > System Monitor...
[04:51] <mike4263> typically f12 or del or f2..
[04:51] <endoubt> EvL_Gamer: mediaplayerconnectivity extension in firefox
[04:51] <izinucs> mike4263, he used the entire drive.
[04:52] <mike4263> izinucs: is his windows partition on another drive?
[04:52] <izinucs> mike4263, nope.. wiped
[04:52] <mike4263> hrm
[04:52] <neeto> endoubt: fdisk -l isn't printing anything :/
[04:52] <samurai_spud> well, don't break anything you can't fix. Night folks.
[04:52] <prakash_621> Thanks Ahadiel && rww.
[04:52] <endoubt> neeto: try " sudo fdisk -l "
[04:53] <izinucs> mike4263, I think he just needs to reconfigure his video drivers.. but I can't stick around and do it.
[04:53] <mike4263> ah
[04:53] <izinucs> mike4263, just the stock drivers.
[04:53] <endoubt> ubuntulover wiped out his windows partition?
[04:53] <losetheshizzle> anyone know why i have to hold down a key to get ubuntu to boot?
[04:53] <endoubt> losetheshizzle: bad keyboard?
[04:53] <mike4263> losetheshizzle: what do you mean?
[04:53] <endoubt> lol
[04:53] <rww> losetheshizzle, which key?
[04:53] <mike4263> what key do you have to hold down
[04:53] <tommmied> Hi guys, I recently updated to openoffice 3 and everything went ok.  After the installation, spell checker does not work properly and now highlights every word red, even as I type right now.  Is there a simple solution to this?  Thanks.
[04:53]  * rww bets on alt/option
[04:54] <ubuntulover> iz: no man thiers nothing
[04:54] <ubuntulover> iz: it just syas grub1.5
[04:54] <losetheshizzle> endoubt -- it's the any key
[04:54] <ubuntulover> :then back to the desktop with no icons
[04:54] <izinucs> tommmied, check the configuration for OO in preferences for the named spell checker.. it probably doesn't have a default chosen
[04:54] <losetheshizzle> the loader shows the ubuntu logo (ubuntu studio) and it doesn't progress unless i hit a key
[04:54] <meistergrado> Alright, trying to install Flash 10 Alpha for 64bit
[04:55] <ubuntulover> what is GRUB?
[04:55] <mike4263> ubuntulover: I'm a bit confused as to what the issue is here.  Are you chatting on an alternate box? can you boot into X and use it?
[04:55] <meistergrado> downloaded the tarball.
[04:55] <mike4263> grub is the boot loader
[04:55] <rww> !grub | ubuntulover
[04:55] <ubuntulover> Mike: im on antoher computer
[04:55] <prakash_621> how to stop the running process ?
[04:55] <EvL_Gamer> endoubt: that will allow me to save the files?
[04:55] <endoubt> EvL_Gamer: according to a post I read, it will
[04:55] <mike4263> prakash_621: ps aux | grep <process name>
[04:55] <tommmied> izinucs, spell check works fine in open office, it is the rest of my applications that it does not, for instance I am using xchat and everything that I am typing is being highlighted in red.
[04:55] <ubuntulover> I think Ubuntu
[04:55] <mike4263> then kill -9 <pid> (which is the 2nd number)
[04:55] <ubuntulover> took over windox xp compltlely
[04:55] <sam_> what is grub? thats definitely a newbi
[04:56] <ubuntulover> yes its my first time with all of this stuff
[04:56] <mike4263> sam_: everybody has to start somewhere
[04:56] <ubuntulover> i dont care if im a newbi i am 1, but i just want to fix this
[04:56] <izinucs> tommmied, wow.. that weird.. there's gotta be something under System>Preferences that should fix that..
[04:56] <endoubt> EvL_Gamer: ok, I found a better one https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1993
[04:56] <losetheshizzle> rww / enddoubt / mike, my message above was for you
[04:56] <neeto> endoubt: Actually, I'm not sure my problem has anything to do with fsdisk -l. I am trying to find out what controls the discovery of SATA devices
[04:57] <tommmied> izinucs, I looked on websites and they told me to check administration > language support
[04:57] <mike4263> losetheshizzle: thats odd.. it tells to press the key?
[04:57] <izinucs> tommmied, that sounds right.
[04:57] <sam_> I'm a newbi too
[04:57] <tommmied> izinucs, the settings are correct there, but when i try to change something it removes my open office menu links haha
[04:57] <mike4263> newbie is a relative term too
[04:57] <endoubt> neeto: if ubuntu has any chance of seeing the drive, it would be show up in fdisk -l
[04:57] <viaSanctus> is there a vinagre client for windows ?
[04:58] <rww> !windows | viaSanctus
[04:58] <losetheshizzle> mike: no, it doesn't tell me to press it.. it just stalls.. pressing a key makes it go.. when i do recovery mode it looks like the problem starts at hardware detection
[04:58] <tommmied> izinucs, it's very frustrating / annoying
[04:58] <endoubt> neeto: err... would show up
[04:58] <mike4263> the deeper you get, you realize there is a ton of stuff you completely don't understand
[04:58] <losetheshizzle> mike: but there are no errors
[04:58] <mike4263> hrm
[04:58] <viaSanctus> you honestly think those guys will know about such a client to connect to a ubuntu server?
[04:58] <neeto> endoubt: I understand. It is not on fdisk -l. It is no being discovered. I need to find out how it is being discovered to restart the service or somehow find out what is making it not work.
[04:58] <viaSanctus> they won't even know what ubuntu is
[04:58] <archangelpetro> is there no package for 'codeblocks' in ubuntu?
[04:58] <izinucs> tommmied, installing the "latest" of something that is so integrated like Oo can be problemmatic
[04:58] <prakash_621> Thanks mike4263
[04:59] <meistergrado> samurai_spud: how do I dpkg -p the flash installs and nuke my .mozilla/plugins?
[04:59] <tommmied> izinucs, noticing that now.  What are my options?
[04:59] <meistergrado> izinucs: I'm trying to install the .tar.gz of flash 10 alpha. how do I continue?
[04:59] <rww> archangelpetro, yes, in intrepid. package codeblocks in universe repository
[04:59] <mike4263> losetheshizzle: so, it'll hang on splash and wait for a keypress
[04:59] <endoubt> neeto: what does "lspci | grep SATA" say
[05:00] <archangelpetro> rww: intrepid???
[05:00] <archangelpetro> is that the next one up from hardy ?
[05:00] <ubuntulover> To anyone: is their a number for support i cant contact???
[05:00] <izinucs> meistergrado, never done it.. sorry but to nuke the .mozilla/plugins you could just rename the directory.. mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.backup
[05:00] <ubuntulover> can*
[05:00] <mike4263> brb
[05:00] <ubuntulover> i need to talk with someone
[05:00] <losetheshizzle> mike4263: yeah - that's exactly what happens.. in recovery mode when you can watch it load, it always happens at the same place.. starts with USB something.. it seems like a problem with HAL
[05:00] <endoubt> ubuntulover: do you have a windows xp cd?
[05:00] <sam_> no nunber lol
[05:00] <rww> archangelpetro, yeah
[05:00] <Toko> hello
[05:00] <ubuntulover> endoubt: i dont think so, ima probably have to get it from someone
[05:01] <meistergrado> How do I dpkg -P installations of flash players?
[05:01] <Toko> I lost my network manager in the panel after updating
[05:01] <neeto> endoubt: http://pastebin.ca/1270854
[05:01] <mike4263> ubuntulover: sorry, but I'm still not sure what your issue is.  can you boot into X?  If not where does it break
[05:01] <bbbthunda> ok getting frustrated... anyone know how to set up wpa_supplicant?  I'm not familiar with linux syntax for system config like devices, etc.
[05:02] <Symmetria> hrm, anyone here know of software I could use as an NNTP cache / NNTP proxy?
[05:02] <mike4263> bbbthunda: whats your wireless card?
[05:02] <endoubt> neeto: I'm guessing the Jmicron is the esata card?
[05:02] <Toko> Before, I can connect to  wifi by right click the icon
[05:02] <Toko> wl-107g
[05:02] <bbbthunda> mike4263: broadcom b43
[05:02] <Toko> it work fine
[05:02] <neeto> endoubt: yes
[05:02] <mike4263> bbbthunda: ah
[05:02] <mike4263> bbbthunda: what driver are you using? (I have the same card, btw)
[05:02] <bbbthunda> mike4263: I already extracted the firmware, etc.
[05:02] <neeto> neeto: well it's the SATA controller, it's attatched to 4 drives.
[05:02] <Toko> the default by ubuntu
[05:03] <sam_> ubuntulover: explain your problem again if can succint
[05:03] <endoubt> ubuntulover: when you boot with the windows xp install cd it will give you an option for the recovery console, when you're in the recovery console, type "fixmbr" and then you're windows should be back as long as you didn't nuke it with ubuntu
[05:03] <bbbthunda> mike4263: I was using one that was called something like Broadcom B43 Wireless and now when I look at my hardware it just says wl
[05:03] <losetheshizzle> mike4263: any thoughts about what the problem is?
[05:04] <mike4263> you should use the new STA wireless driver
[05:04] <mike4263> losetheshizzle: no not really.. sorry
[05:04] <bbbthunda> mike4263: i've tried about 20 different solutions at this point, so I'm sure there is some sort of mess that needs to be cleaned up
[05:04] <prakash_621> what is cups ? ? ?
[05:04] <sam_> don't use windows mbr
[05:04] <sam_> use ubuntu
[05:04] <rww> !cups | prakash_621
[05:04] <sam_>  it's much better
[05:04] <losetheshizzle> mike4263: no problem..
[05:04] <mike4263> cups is a printing daemon
[05:04] <bbbthunda> mike4263: at least now i can connect to unsecured wireless
[05:05] <mjec> Hey, i appear to have lost vmlinuz in an upgrade; grub is giving me file not found (error 15), it's a luks-encrypted system... any pointers on what I can do to revive?

[05:06] <mike4263> yes
[05:06] <rww> prakash_621, yes

[05:06] <gigel2006> I can't see my Documents and Setting from windows vista after I mount the hdd, Every other folder is fine though, how can I mount them ???
[05:06] <herenbdy> how can I see hidden files in the Trash?
[05:06] <herenbdy> it's telling me there are 4 items in there, but opening the bin shows nothing
[05:06] <raban> good evening people
[05:06] <rww> gigel2006, try looking in the Users folder instead of the Documents and Settings folder. D&S in Vista is just a link to Users\Username\
[05:07] <meistergrado> Help with .mozilla/plugins: trying to get rid of all other flash installs before installing flash 10 alpha
[05:07] <rww> herenbdy, open the bin and hit Ctrl-H
[05:07] <gigel2006> rww: ok I will
[05:07] <losetheshizzle> anyone know how i can capture boot logs for a bug report?
[05:07] <sam_> mjec copy the file from install disk
[05:07] <raban> running 8.10 here, my USB mouse locks up when i press any key on the keyboard
[05:07] <meistergrado> is npwrapper.libflashplayer.so a threat? Do I need to get rid of it/replace it?
[05:07] <herenbdy> odd, it's still showing nothing, and Show hidden Files is checked in View
[05:07] <izinucs> herenbdy, ctrl + H unhides hidden directories but that flag will probably dissappear after rebooting. that sometimes happens
[05:07] <mike4263> meistergrado: probably
[05:07] <mjec> sam_: I upgraded from 8.04 (disc) to 8.10 from net - will copying 8.04 version cause trouble?
[05:08] <rww> losetheshizzle, if you need kernel/driver messages, use dmesg
[05:08] <meistergrado> mike4263: should I just delete it? libtotem plugins are there too
[05:08] <losetheshizzle> thanks dmesg.. i think that's what i need
[05:08] <herenbdy> my trash icon in the panel says 4 items, bin shows nothing even while Show Hidden Items is checked
[05:08] <losetheshizzle> i mean thans rww
[05:08] <sam_> mjec or find some who has ubuntu intrepid (if that's the version you are running, and copy file
[05:08] <mike4263> meistergrado: I'd probably copy it elsewhere just to be safe
[05:08] <meistergrado> alright
[05:08] <mjec> sam_: thanks
[05:09] <iShock> How do I install drivers with ndiswrapper via CLI?
[05:09] <mike4263> my stupid firefox has been acting up lately.. I think I need to go on an extensions diet
[05:09] <rww> herenbdy, rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/ from a terminal
[05:09] <sam_> iShock: what drivers do you need?
[05:09] <prakash_621> In grub, I need to select Microsoft Windows as Default Option. how to do that ?
[05:10] <paq7512> how do you list devices that are not recognized, like my wireless is not after a install of 8.10
[05:10] <mike4263> bbbthunda: when you go into restricted drivers what does it say?
[05:10] <rww> herenbdy, explanation: rm = delete; -r = recursive (delete directories); ~/.local/share/Trash/ = the place where your Trash is
[05:10] <sam_> ubuntu shoud be defauld P:
[05:10] <mike4263> bbbthunda: the STA driver is new in 2.6.24-21
[05:10] <sam_> :P
[05:10] <losetheshizzle> rww - does dmesg show logging of all boots?
[05:10] <rww> herenbdy, should clear up any lingering Trash weirdness
[05:10] <rww> losetheshizzle, no, just the current one
[05:10] <losetheshizzle> rww - thanks
[05:11] <prakash_621> Yes, but this system is used by children too. they dont know ubuntu ? how to select Microsoft Windows as Default Option in grub loader ?
[05:11] <mike4263> prakash_621: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:11] <__BSD__> so teach them?
[05:12] <mike4263> prakash_621: actually, I like BSD's answer better :)
[05:12] <iShock> How doI get the device ID of my pci wireless card in the form xxxx:xxxx
[05:12] <__BSD__> ;)
[05:12] <Flannel> prakash_621: edit your menu.lst, near the top, set "default" to "saved", and under the windows entry (the line following, leave no blank lines, or put it inside) add "savedefault" on a line of its own
[05:12] <mike4263> i gotta step away for a bit
[05:12] <mike4263> brb
[05:12] <sam_> prakash: first, make sure you save your current MBR
[05:12] <sam_> backup
[05:12] <endoubt> iShock: lspci and then do lspci -n
[05:12] <herenbdy> rww trash bin still shows 4 items
[05:13] <meistergrado> I think I've identified my problem: scratchy feedback sound with ALSA!
[05:13] <sam_> yeah teach them
[05:13] <paq7512> how do you list devices that are not recognized, like my wireless is not after a install of 8.10?
[05:13] <endoubt> meistergrado: really?
[05:13] <herenbdy> ls -a from within the Trash folder just shows an empty files and info folder
[05:13] <meistergrado> endoubt: installing flash player alpha 10 did nothing for sound
[05:13] <rww> herenbdy, that's very odd. tried logging out and back in?
[05:13] <meistergrado> still scratchy grr. also, amarok does not work with ALSA, I need to put it to OSS for mp3s to play
[05:14] <n8tuser> paq7512-> lshw
[05:14] <iShock> Once I tell ndiswrapper to use driver for devid, how do I make the card work? :O
[05:14] <endoubt> meistergrado: you probably broke your alsa with the module-assistant install I told you about :-(
[05:14] <sam_> brb gotta go potty
[05:14] <meistergrado> endoubt: it didn't even work beforehand :(
[05:14] <__BSD__> TMI sam_
[05:14] <prakash_621> i cant edit menu.lst Flannel ? what to do ? i used sudo edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:15] <lan> hello?
[05:15] <iShock> Once I tell ndiswrapper to use driver for devid, how do I make the card work? :O
[05:15] <endoubt> meistergrado: have you tried building alsa from source with all the dependencies taken care of?
[05:15] <rww> prakash_621, try sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst or gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:15] <herenbdy> rww: now it's cleared, guess there was something wonky going on with the panel, and now I know where the Trash folder's located :), thanks
[05:15] <meistergrado> no, I am still somewhat of a ubuntu noob
[05:15] <meistergrado> an*
[05:15] <rww> herenbdy, You're welcome :)
[05:15] <endoubt> iShock: what chip is it again?
[05:16] <lan> Is there any one who can help deal with some about opera?
[05:16] <Atum> How do I create more than 2 desktops in Ubuntu ?
[05:16] <jjk2> how do i ssh mydomain.com : 3242 ?
[05:16] <Atum> I want 4
[05:16] <iShock> endoubt: Airgo, I already did ndiswrapper -d devid driver and it worked, now what do I do|?
[05:16] <paq7512> could someone help me getting my EEE working on Ubuntu?
[05:16] <rww> Atum: virtual desktops / workspaces?
[05:16] <mike4263> jjk2: ssh -P 3242 mydomain.com
[05:16] <endoubt> iShock: I think the next step is something to do with modprobe
[05:16] <jjk2> thanks
[05:16] <paq7512> wireless and camera not working, i have no idea what else
[05:17] <Atum> workspaces, you know as in multiple desktops
[05:17] <endoubt> iShock: I was looking for the guide
[05:17] <rww> Atum: add the Workspace Switcher applet if you haven't already, right click it and hit properties. There should be an option in there.
[05:17] <jjk2> mike4263: not working
[05:17] <mesh11> I just installed ubuntu 8.10, but kept my /home folder from 8.04, I deleted my /home/user/. directories. I can no longer see an icon for wireless networks. I created a new user and can see it there. How do I get it back for my current user?
[05:17] <Atum> Ah yeah
[05:17] <Atum> now I feel dumb
[05:17] <Atum> lol
[05:17] <Atum> that was easy nough
[05:17] <rww> Atum: properties should be preferences
[05:17] <FloodBot1> Atum: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:17] <Flannel> prakash_621: alt-f2 then gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:17] <rww> Atum: lol. I forget that a lot too... although I'm usually /decreasing/ the number :D
[05:17] <mike4263> jjk2: sorry, try -p
[05:18] <meistergrado> endoubt: could you point me in the right direction for rebuilding the alsa from source with dependencies?
[05:18] <meistergrado> i'm googlin' it now, but the dependencies part is hazy
[05:18] <iShock> endoubt: Any luck|?
[05:18] <endoubt> meistergrado: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Quick_Install
[05:18] <Atum> The new Compiz beta is pretty stable, anyone else been using it ?
[05:19] <lan> seem to no one answer me
[05:19] <mike4263> lan what was the question
[05:19] <rww> mesh11: System > Preferences > Sessions, then "Startup Programs" tab. There should be an entry for Network Manager. Check the box by it. If the entry isn't there, let me know and I'll walk you through adding it.
[05:19] <sam_> paq: google can help
[05:19] <Atum> One bug I have found is if you disable the minimize feature it causes the bars to completely disappear and  not come back at all.
[05:19] <Atum> Until a restart is performed.
[05:19] <lan> I can not fix the opera flash
[05:19] <endoubt> iShock: try "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper"
[05:20] <meistergrado> endoubt: thanks :)
[05:20] <iShock> endoubt: Module not found
[05:20] <mesh11> rww, network manager has a check in it already
[05:20] <sam_> lan: have you googled the problem
[05:20] <endoubt> iShock: try "sudo depmod -a"
[05:20] <iShock> Nothing
[05:20] <lan> I have do but it can not work
[05:20] <rww> mesh11: but it's not loading up? hmm. Select it, then hit Edit, and paste the contents of the "Command" field here.
[05:21] <bbbthunda> mike4263: ok I'm using 2.6.24-22.  need to figure out how to install it
[05:21] <sam_> lan: what cannot work
[05:21] <endoubt> iShock: if you've already done most of this you can scroll down to 3.4 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper#Load%20the%20new%20driver%20module
[05:21] <lan> flash
[05:21] <paq7512> how could i get paid support for ubuntu?
[05:21] <endoubt> !ndiswrapper | iShock
[05:22] <izinucs> for some reason I'm all of a sudden getting kernel panic (or what looks like it) in my vbox install of intrepid.. anyone else experience this and what did you do?
[05:22] <sam_> lan: you mean flash player of course: right
[05:22] <mike4263> bbbthunda: what does the restricted drivers say
[05:22] <lan> can you tell me how can i make the opera flash work?
[05:22] <mesh11> rww: nm-applet --sm-disable
[05:22] <mike4263> bbbthunda: system > administration > restricted drivers
[05:22] <rww> paq7512: Canonical does SLAs for organizations, see http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid . I don't think they have single user support =/
[05:22] <lan> yes
[05:22] <endoubt> paq7512: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid
[05:22] <sam_> lan:did you download the medubuntu repositories
[05:23] <mike4263> you can buy it at best buy and get like 30 days tech support or something
[05:23] <lan> not yet
[05:23] <sam_> that is how you do it
[05:23] <iShock> endoubt: Module ndiswrapper not found .. :<
[05:23] <paq7512> he available?
[05:23] <endoubt> iShock: somewhere you missed a step, try following that guide I sent
[05:23] <rww> mesh11: hmm. and it's still not running? that's odd...
[05:24] <sam_> lan: do you know how to download the medibuntu repositories?
[05:24] <mesh11> rww, looking at ps, there is no program called nm-applet running, but I can see my wireless connections in my newly created user account
[05:24] <lan> I have never heard that I was a fresh
[05:24] <rww> mesh11: ps or ps -A?
[05:24] <mesh11> rww, ps -aux
[05:25] <mike4263> mesh11: have you tried adding another nm applet to the dock?
[05:25] <mesh11> rww, ah, tried running from the command line, I get this error: WARNING **: <WARN>  applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken.  Return: 3
[05:25] <endoubt> mesh11: ps -A | grep nm-applet
[05:25] <sam_> lan: you was a fresh? or you are a newbi?
[05:25] <bbbthunda> mike4263: where is restricted drivers??? I don't see it in Administration
[05:25] <ryushe> Hi again, so whatever I tried didn't work to fix the Nvidia issue, so I decided to install again, but with 8.10 this time. Now every time after the guided partitioner finishes (graphical install) it crashes and I have crash notifications for Ubiquity and install.py :(
[05:25] <endoubt> bbbthunda: it's called device drivers
[05:25] <rww> bbbthunda: it's called Hardware Drivers
[05:26] <rww> endoubt: lies :P
[05:26] <endoubt> bbbthunda: eerrrrrrr.....hardware drivers, sorry
[05:26] <mike4263> yep
[05:26] <iShock> endoubt: Didn't miss anything, still erroring.
[05:26] <ebl> olá
[05:26] <rww> mesh11: okay. So on the user account you grabbed from hardy, you see Network Manager in Sessions, and it's checked, but isn't running?
[05:26] <rww> !es | ebl
[05:26] <lan> yes I am new
[05:26] <bbbthunda> mike4263: in that case, the only thing that shows up there is wl
[05:27] <raban> i got an ubuntu 8.10 new install here, my mouse freezes up when i press a key, is there any way to troubleshoot what is going on?
[05:27] <mesh11> actually, I am seeing it in ps -A, maybe didn't see it before, but it is being run by the other user (I think I just switched users, so they are still running it)
[05:27] <raban> mouse unfreezes a second after i release a key
[05:27] <mike4263> bbbthunda: it should be showing up, perhaps you need to upgrade jockey
[05:28] <mesh11> rww, that is correct
[05:28] <endoubt> iShock: I don't know, you could try uninstalling everything you've tried so far and restart using the guide step by step
[05:28] <bbbthunda> mike4263: could it have to do with blacklisting bcm43xx?
[05:28] <axlmards> hello  guys
[05:28] <iShock> endoubt: F that, I need todo this fast
[05:28] <moltar> hello
[05:28] <sam_> lan: go to google.com and type in the search bar: "how do I install the medibuntu repositories" and then click on search
[05:28] <axlmards> is there a NAS app for ubuntu in particular?
[05:28] <moltar> hows it going?
[05:28] <lan> sam:thank you
[05:28] <mesh11> endoubt: ps -A gives me   6910 ?        00:00:06 nm-applet
[05:28] <moltar> i just installed ubuntu on my mom's computer
[05:29] <mike4263> bbbthunda: possibly
[05:29] <endoubt> iShock: well, forget fast in linux, if you want fast go into windows
[05:29] <rww> mesh11: maybe try only logging into one user at a time? it might be complicating things...
[05:29] <sam_> hello moltar
[05:29] <endoubt> iShock: everything in linux is a slow learning experience
[05:29] <sam_> hello ax
[05:29] <endoubt> mesh11: that's the process id of the network manager applet
[05:29] <mesh11> rww, yeah, the reason I created the other user was because I couldn't find a way to connect to my wireless network from this account
[05:30] <rww> mesh11: oh, yeah, huh, it'll disconnect you.
[05:30] <mesh11> yup
[05:30] <iShock> I didn't miss a step, endoubt
[05:30] <mesh11> is there another way to choose a wireless network without seeing it in the panel?
[05:30] <rww> mesh11: okays, give me a second to think about it
[05:30] <moltar> anyone had any luck using those softmodem drivers?
[05:30] <endoubt> iShock: what's the model on your wireless card?
[05:31] <iShock> Liknsys WPC54GX4
[05:31] <endoubt> iShock: is that an external PCMCIA card?
[05:31] <iShock> Yes
[05:32] <Laurenceb> how do I logout of ssh?
[05:32] <mike4263> ctrl + d
[05:32] <sam_> lan, have you googled yet?
[05:32] <n8tuser> or you type exit
[05:32] <Laurenceb> ah
[05:32] <Laurenceb> :P
[05:32] <mike4263> C+D is faster
[05:32] <mike4263> especially if you connected to several ssh servers
[05:32] <endoubt> iShock: this person had limited success http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=188935
[05:33]  * endoubt out for a smoke
[05:33] <lan> yet i am working
[05:33] <iShock> endoubt: im on debian
[05:33] <mesh11> rww, okay thanks
[05:34] <terryx> anybody here is ubuntu engineer
[05:34] <terryx> ?
[05:36] <OB1FoShoB> anyone know how to make a desktop shortcut that will run a terminal command?
[05:36] <bdelin88> o/ guys
[05:36] <rww> mesh11: okay. Try logging out of both your users, then logging into the broken one. If the applet doesn't show up, issue nm-applet from the terminal and see if it shows up. If it still doesn't show up, do sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop then sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start from the terminal. If it /still/ doesn't work, give up, log into your working user, and install wicd because I'm out of ideas.
[05:36] <terryx> can't install ubuntu
[05:36] <joeb3_> OB1FoShoB, right click desktop, create launcher
[05:36] <monsoon_king> hi guys...can you pls suggest me a few good firewall for 8.04...other than firestarter
[05:37] <joeb3_> monsoon_king, firewall builder
[05:37] <endoubt> OB1FoShoB: just write a little shell script then make sure you flag it as executable
[05:37] <Decepticon_> whats a one liner to transfer a specific file from remote server X to local pc Z, while on Z?
[05:37] <rww> terryx: some of us are. If you're having a problem, say what it is, giving as much relevant information as possible.
[05:37] <Decepticon_> whats a one liner to transfer a specific file from remote server X to local pc Z, while on Z?  im thinking of sftp
[05:37] <terryx> ok thanx...
[05:37] <sam_> OB1: there is a way to put a launcher on the gnome panel
[05:37] <sam_> google it
[05:37] <sam_> I don't know how
[05:37] <joeb3_> Decepticon, scp user@host:path/file .
[05:37] <rww> Decepticon_: scp fileserver.example.com:/path/to/file localfilename
[05:37] <endoubt> iShock: it should be a similar process
[05:38] <sam_> it happened on my computer without me doing anything
[05:38] <OB1FoShoB> thank u it worked
[05:38] <Decepticon_> thanks
[05:38] <monsoon_king> joeb3_,  is Firewalbuilder good??
[05:38] <bdelin88> i have a little problem i am tryin to get worked out if anyone could take a look on ubuntu forums, it should be very simple: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6279124#post6279124
[05:38] <joeb3_> monsoon_king, works for me.
[05:38] <sam_> cool
[05:38] <terryx> after inserting live cd its shows options
[05:38] <bdelin88> would really appreciate it if someone could look at that
[05:38] <rww> mesh11: (wicd is, for me at least, incredibly less annoying than NM :) )
[05:38] <mesh11> rww, thanks, will give it a try, should I also issue --sm-disable with the nm-applet command?
[05:38] <endoubt> did ubuntulover ever find a shoulder to cry on?
[05:38] <terryx> i choose the first option..then press enter
[05:39] <rww> mesh11: doesn't matter
[05:39] <bdelin88> anyone up for taking a look at that? :)
[05:39] <mesh11> thanks, bbiab
[05:39] <terryx> rww
[05:39] <bdelin88> i want to link folders in my user directory to another directory
[05:39] <sam_> ubuntulover needs to realize that he/she needs to find an alternative method
[05:40] <bdelin88> something like how M$ allows you to do, i.e. your music folder points to a folder on another drive, anyone? :)
[05:40] <joeb3_> bdelin88, is sdb1 mounted?
[05:40] <Paddy_EIRE> bdelin88, use a symbloic link
[05:40] <endoubt> bdelin88: it's called symlink
[05:40] <bdelin88> :)
[05:40] <endoubt> or that
[05:40] <ardchoille> bdelin88: man ln
[05:40] <Paddy_EIRE> *symbolic
[05:40] <rww> terryx: what's the first option? Try Ubuntu without making changes to your computer or something like that?
[05:40] <bdelin88> symlink? i will have to look into that
[05:40] <terryx> yes rww
[05:40] <Paddy_EIRE> !ln | bdelin88
[05:40] <endoubt> bdelin88: no, it's symbolic link
[05:40] <endoubt> my bad
[05:41] <bdelin88> symbolic, gotcha
[05:41] <frank_lin> ya
[05:41] <endoubt> like the bot says, it's very powerful
[05:41] <terryx> rww: then it starts loading..
[05:41] <terryx> and then hangs
[05:41] <bdelin88> so i will be able to click my Music folder and it will take me to "Music" on... sdb1 for example
[05:41] <terryx> what i do
[05:41] <endoubt> bdelin88: correct
[05:41] <Laurenceb> how can I get compiz working?
[05:41] <bdelin88> thanks
[05:42] <bdelin88> might as well as my other ?...
[05:42] <rww> terryx: what's on the screen when it hangs? any error messages, or just a blank screen, or just the Ubuntu loading screen?
[05:42] <Laurenceb> I have Ati driver working
[05:42] <Laurenceb> for my card
[05:42] <bdelin88> anyone having a wierd seemless experience with virtual box in ubuntu?
[05:42] <endoubt> bdelin88: or the easiest way is to just navigate to the music folder and then right click on it and say "make link" and then put it on your desktop
[05:42] <Laurenceb> but compiz is not functioning
[05:42] <terryx> i can install in vmware
[05:42] <terryx> no error
[05:42] <Paddy_EIRE> !enter | Laurenceb
[05:42] <Laurenceb> sorry
[05:42] <dalegribble> is there any bash setting that is launched upon su'ing into an account, but not logging in through ssh?
[05:43] <Paddy_EIRE> Laurenceb, no problem
[05:43] <terryx> just hangs while orange blocks loading
[05:43] <fire5nake> Laurenceb, did you try and start compiz by right clicking your desktop-> display properties -> desktop effects?
[05:43] <bdelin88> no no, i want to be able to click "Music" or save a file in "Music" but I want the music folder to actually be hosted on another partition....
[05:43] <endoubt> Laurenceb: compiz and ati are a massive headache depending on the card, if you're really passionate about compiz, go buy an nvidia card, my 6600 works great and can be purchased on ebay for less than $30
[05:43] <terryx> ubuntu loading
[05:43] <Gandhi> hi
[05:43] <Laurenceb> I had it workinga while back
[05:43] <Gandhi> Who knows of a program that reduces contrast of your monitor?
[05:44] <n8tuser> dalegribble-> yes
[05:44] <endoubt> Gandhi: the buttons on your monitor usually work
[05:44] <terryx> i can install in vmware
[05:44] <Gandhi> don't work
[05:44] <terryx> u know vmware rww
[05:44] <joeb3_> bdelin88, in your home folder.  ln -s /pathtosdb1/Music Music.  sdb1 has to be mounted.
[05:44] <rww> terryx: I'm familiar with vmware, yes
[05:44] <terryx> ok rww, i can install in vmware tools
[05:44] <endoubt> virtualbox is easier than vmware in my experience
[05:45] <Gandhi> i'm needing a program
[05:45] <terryx> right now i am using this
[05:45] <rww> terryx: there's a bunch of options you can change on that first screen (the one where you pressed Enter at the first option). Probably setting one of those would solve your problem.
[05:45] <terryx> ubuntu
[05:45] <diaruemnus> I was wondering if someone could help me with a MythTV-related issue
[05:45] <sam_> Ghandi: did you google it
[05:45] <diaruemnus> I read through several how-tos
[05:45] <terryx> offcourse i have tried that
[05:45] <diaruemnus> one of them in the Ubuntu forums
[05:45] <terryx> one more thing rww
[05:46] <Gandhi> who knows?
[05:46] <prakash_621> iam in ubuntu. how to share the internet connection from ubuntu to windows ? from different Operating systems ?
[05:46] <rww> diaruemnus: #ubuntu-mythtv
[05:46] <endoubt> diaruemnus: having the right capture card does wonders for mythtv
[05:46] <diaruemnus> oh, thanks
[05:46] <terryx> i have another pc - amd-1.7, 128mb
[05:46] <sigterm> endoubt, i second that.
[05:46] <diaruemnus> I have a Hauppauge PVR-150

[05:47] <terryx> i can install on that pc
[05:47] <bdelin88> endoubt, u have a second, i sent u a private channel request
[05:47] <rww> terryx: that's not enough RAM to install Ubuntu. Xubuntu could manage it with the Alternate (text-based) CD, but it'd be tight. You may want to go with a more cut-down distribution.
[05:47] <bdelin88> keep things a little easier, i know you are like help central right now though...
[05:47] <bastos> hi, how i can find my UrbanTerror maps folder?

[05:48] <Gandhi> who speaking portuguese?
[05:48] <unop> bullgard4, a defunct process is a 'zombie' process, it's a child process that has finished execution but is waiting for the parent to 'reap' it
[05:48] <Gandhi> Quem fala português aqui?
[05:48] <Gandhi> :)
[05:48] <sam_> anyone installed ubuntu with the ubuntu light script:
[05:48] <terryx> i have 2 pc's, rww

[05:49] <meistergrado> I have a problem with ALSA. I must set Amarok to use OSS or it will not play. Firefox also does not play flash videos correctly, I get the same static-y feedback as Amarok gets when I set it to use Autodetect OR ALSA. Any ideas on where to start?
[05:49] <Fezzler1> how do I see which folder the icon on my desktop resides in?  I want to change it?
[05:50] <unop> bullgard4, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process
[05:50] <bastos> i have searchead also on '/usr/local/games/...'
[05:50] <sam_> Fezzler: do you mean the launcher Icon
[05:50] <bastos> but nothing :(
[05:50] <Laurenceb> so, can anyone help me get compiz working again - I've got atis driver working ok now, but enabling compiz in the setting tab does nothing
[05:50] <endoubt> meistergrado: hopefully someone else will have some better tips :-(
[05:50] <terryx> rww..u there?
[05:50] <mesh1> rww, and others, thanks for your help, it is working now. I must have been mistaken before. The first account I log into will have the nm-applet running, no other accounts can run it if the first account runs it (which I guess makes sense because two users can't user two different wireless connections).
[05:51] <endoubt> Laurenceb: there are tons of guides out there for ati compiz but the results are sketchy
[05:51] <meistergrado> endoubt: yeah, this is kind of annoying... one thing I think would correct this is reinstalling 8.10, but I would like to keep all my GUI and program settings, etc
[05:51] <mesh1> sorry to scare you off rww
[05:52] <Laurenceb> do I have to enable compiz somewhere?
[05:52] <bdelin88> meister what problem are you having?
[05:52] <endoubt> Laurenceb: you're in the right place but something is preventing it from being enabled
[05:52] <mesh1> the bad thing of course is if a user logs in, locks their account, and the second user needs to change to a different wireless connection, they will not be able to.
[05:52] <maynardwv> Does anyone know how to pipe sudo commands together in the .bashrc file?
[05:52] <meistergrado> I have a problem with ALSA. I must set Amarok to use OSS or it will not play. Firefox also does not play flash videos correctly, I get the same static-y feedback as Amarok gets when I set it to use Autodetect OR ALSA. Any ideas on where to start?
[05:52] <bdelin88> if he can't enable compiz it is because his graphics are not installed :)
[05:52] <L_inf> I'm planning to buy a usb wireless stick to connect my desktop to the Internet what brands or models are Ubuntu friendly?
[05:52] <meistergrado> bdelin88: copypasta, haha
[05:52] <Laurenceb> I have atis driver working
[05:53] <sam_> Fezzler: right click on the icon and select properties then click on the link in the pic of the icon
[05:53] <unop> meistergrado, backup your home directory and restore it after reinstallation
[05:53] <maynardwv> I am using intrepid if it makes a difference
[05:53] <bullgard4> unop: '~$ dict reap; v 1: gather, 2: get or derive. Can you tell me what it means that a parent process 'reaps' a child process. Is there a synonym for 'to reap a child process' or is it an official technical term?
[05:53] <Fezzler1> sam_>> No.  I put the Trash can icon on my desktop but want to change the icon.  Properties does not tell me where the icon is located
[05:53] <dr_willis> maynardwv,  perhaps clarify what you mean..
[05:53] <terryx> how to install ubuntu in p-4
[05:53] <Laurenceb> 'to rape a child process?'
[05:53] <unop> maynardwv,  sudo first_command | sudo second_command  # or  sudo bash -c 'first_command | second_command'
[05:53] <meistergrado> unop: the entire home directory has all those infos? that's good to know... just replacing it upon reinstallation will restore the settings?
[05:53] <rww> Well, whoever was saying REISUB doesn't work before... it does :S
[05:53] <sam_> naynardwv: && I think
[05:54] <terryx> hey rww
[05:54] <endoubt> L_inf: if you have a PCMCIA slot I've had great success with Proxim (atheros based) cards
[05:54] <terryx> help me man
[05:54] <unop> meistergrado, all personal settings are stored in the home directory - but global settings are not - they're stored in /etc/
[05:54] <rww> terryx: Sorry, had to restart. As I said already, hit F6 at that bootup screen to get to the More Options page. Read the information there. One of them should tell you how to turn off the Ubuntu loading bar, so you'll see whatever error is happening. Come back with that error.
[05:55] <mesh1> rww, you might have missed my message when you left, but thanks for your help, it is working!
[05:55] <maynardwv> dr_willis: I am attempting to string together a umount and shutdown process together. I can not seem to get the umount and shutdown commands to work together, as both require root privelege
[05:55] <rww> mesh1: Awesome! What ended up fixing it?
[05:55] <meistergrado> unop: what about firefox bookmarks/toolbars? and compiz settings?
[05:56] <Fezzler1> sam_>> That takes me to my user folder.  I don't see the Trash can icon art threr?
[05:56] <dr_willis> maynardwv,  you are trying to make an alias that does both commands?  To unmount some drive, then shugdown the system?
[05:56]  * rww mutters to himself "Damn right my last firefox session closed unexpectedly... stupid firefox..."
[05:56] <newbnewb> Is there a way to safely log off another user? (graceful)
[05:56] <newbnewb> ?
[05:56] <unop> bullgard4, if a parent process starts (or spawns) a child process it usually 'waits' for the child to return some status i.e. whether it has completed properly or not, etc .. but if the parent process becomes busy and cannot correctly 'wait' on the child, the child process has an entry in the process table - as a defunct process
[05:56] <Flynsarmy> cGamil isn't starting with Intrepid even though i have the start automatically checkbox checked. This didn't happen with hardy. ideas?
[05:56] <Laurenceb> oh I had to enable effects
[05:56] <Laurenceb> doh
[05:56] <maynardwv> dr: yes
[05:56] <unop> meistergrado, those should be in the home directory
[05:57] <mesh1> rww, well, I think I must have been mistaken before, but I'm not sure, I guess nm-applet can only run in one account at a time, so I think that means if the first user logs in and locks their account and the second user needs to change to a different wireless network, they won't be able to.
[05:57] <L_inf> endoubt: does it involve any complicated procedure??
[05:57] <rww> newbnewb: skill -u username
[05:57] <sam_> Fezzerl: check out this webpage: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=381789
[05:57] <endoubt> no
[05:57] <endoubt> L_inf: no, the atheros based cards work very well as a plug and play
[05:57] <dr_willis> maynardwv,  you could put both commands in a script in /home/username/bin  and just call the script  with sudo.  Or try someof the ways the other guys mentioned.. but i dont see why you need to unmount the device befor shutdown.
[05:57] <maynardwv> Dr_willis: good job unencrypting my nonsense
[05:58] <omar_> I need help configuring my Thomson Wireless modem, the modem seems to be detected by the system: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78216/ . However, it still doesn't seem to work. Please help.
[05:58] <rww> newbnewb: that sends the TERM signal to all of username's processes. If that doesn't work, skill KILL -u username to kill (not graceful)
[05:58] <mesh1> newbnewb: it takes skill to log someone off
[05:58] <bdelin88> anyone have a solution to getting around the office 2007 and open office limitations?
[05:58] <mesh1> ;)
[05:58] <rww> mesh1: ah, I see. That's dumb of it...
[05:58] <bullgard4> unop: Thank you very much for explaining. --  I wish you a happy First Advent.
[05:58] <rww> bdelin88: which limitations are those?
[05:58] <endoubt> bdelin88: what kind of limitations?
[05:58] <tarelerulz> I am running  2 versions of Ubuntu one is 8.04 and the other is 7.10 .   It says it has updated in the older one and It never shows up on grub menu .  How would I find out how to put it there ?
[05:58] <bdelin88> i must use office 2007, and i am afraid that the conversion will not be at least 99%
[05:59] <newbnewb> rww:  thank you
[05:59] <bdelin88> or at least have good conversion between office 07 users, i don't care what office program i use
[05:59] <maynardwv> The reason I am trying to umount first is the the shutdown process hangs if I do not unmount a windows share first. I figured the best way to get around it would be to unmount and shutdown first
[05:59] <rww> mesh1: lol. Yeah, that makes searching for info on the skill command difficult >.>
[05:59] <mesh1> rww: hehe, yeah
[05:59] <endoubt> omar_: do any wireless networks show up in the network manager up top?
[06:00] <shams> i want to setup an isp style mail server with domainkeys on my server. i need pop3/imap , smtp , account management tool and etc. please introduce me an article for this issue.
[06:00] <mesh1> rww, will wicd work under two accounts at the same time?
[06:00] <endoubt> maynardwv: yea, I know your problem
[06:00] <brutus> how do i find out my gateway address?
[06:00] <dr_willis> maynardwv,  hmm.. never noticed that happening..    sounds like somthuing to file a bug report on.. but not sure what  to say is the cause.
[06:00] <prakash_621> I would like to start firestarter from terminal. if i close the terminal the firestarter also get closed. what to do ?
[06:00] <endoubt> maynardwv: mine does the same thing
[06:00] <rww> mesh1: No idea, I haven't tried it
[06:00] <dr_willis> prakash_621,  dont use the CLOSE button, use firestarter &, then the exit command.
[06:00] <omar_> endoubt, no. Actually the Network Manager tray icon never shows up for some reason.
[06:01] <endoubt> omar_: try " ps -A | grep nm-applet
[06:01] <sam_> tarelerulz: are you sure you have two versions, or did it really upgrade?
[06:01] <chencaifa> I think network manager is useless
[06:01] <rww> chencaifa: I'm inclined to agree with you.
[06:01] <sam_> do you have a dual partition tareleruls
[06:01] <mesh1> rww, okay, maybe I'll give it a try and see what I think :) I'm sure it will be better than network manager either way
[06:02] <bdelin88> well, how good is open office at opening office 2007 files, anyone know?
[06:02] <bdelin88> i need it to be nearly flawless
[06:02] <omar_> endoubt, http://paste.ubuntu.com/78217/
[06:02] <rww> mesh1: Installation instructions are in http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php . It's not in the repositories, unfortunately :(
[06:02] <maynardwv> dr_willis: Checked on forums, and bug seems to havve been reported already
[06:02] <rww> bdelin88: consider testing it yourself. The OpenOffice people will say it's awesome, and the MS Office people will say it sucks.
[06:02] <mesh1> rww: okay, thanks, looks easy enough anyhow ;)
[06:02] <frank_lin>  well, how good is open office at opening office 2007 files, anyone know?//very good!
[06:02] <chencaifa> in fact, I have removed network manager
[06:02] <prakash_621> Thanks dr_willis
[06:03] <dr_willis> prakash_621,  just get in the habbit of al;ways using 'exit' and never the close button. :)
[06:03] <omar_> endoubt, It does show up at some very rare occasions, but usually I almost never see it.
[06:03] <bdelin88> well... i am only nervous to use it because I deal with a lot of docx files and excel files from 07 users
[06:03] <mesh1> chencaifa: you use wicd?
[06:03] <bdelin88> and i need to reproduce those files with 99% accuracy or better
[06:03] <tarelerulz> sam_ What it said was updated in 7.10 was the kernel  .    there are few thing in the grub I don't understand . Like what does root=UUID=e9bd9541-5f57-4034-b3d6-7a4fea191077.  What that mean
[06:04] <endoubt> omar_: well, chencaifa might be able to help you better, I don't have much experience with manually configuring the wireless
[06:04] <prakash_621> Yeah i did exit even it close..and i found it from your answer that i should use & for running it in background thanks dr_willis.
[06:04] <endoubt> I would like to learn
[06:04] <rww> bdelin88: If you have more questions or queries about OpenOffice, rather than Ubuntu or setting up OpenOffice on Ubuntu, consider asking in #Openoffice.org instead
[06:04] <endoubt> but I've never had the need

[06:05] <omar_> chencaifa, I need help configuring my Thomson Wireless modem, the modem seems to be detected by the system: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78216/ . However, it still doesn't seem to work. Please help.
[06:05] <Flynsarmy> cGamil isn't starting with Intrepid even though i have the start automatically checkbox checked. This didn't happen with hardy. ideas?
[06:05] <mesh1> omar_ have you followed my chat with rww, maybe it is the same problem?
[06:05] <sam_> tareleruls: don't know. sounds like you upgraded, if you didn't have a dual boot, the it's upgraded
[06:06] <brutus> how do i find out my lan gateway address??
[06:06] <omar_> mesh1, no, sorry, I didn't read that.
[06:06] <endoubt> brutus: ifconfig

[06:06] <dnyy> Anyone know how to uninstall a single adobe air app and it's settings?
[06:06] <xat_> tarelerulz: each partition has a unique identifier (a UUID) assigned to it. root=UUID=(string) points to the root partition's UUID (or at least it's supposed to)
[06:07] <brutus> endoubt, it gives inet addr, inet6 addr, bcast and mask.....i cant see gateway...
[06:07] <mesh1> omar_, not sure what problem you are talking about, but when I was logged in as one user and network manager loaded, but if I went to "switch user" and used a different user, network manager would not run under the second user.
[06:07] <v4vijayakumar> !bittorrent
[06:07] <endoubt> brutus: you're right, I just looked into it, type "route" in terminal instead
[06:07] <sam_> brutus: use backtrack23
[06:07] <endoubt> brutus: should be the first stop on the route
[06:08] <omar_> mesh1, the weird thing is, the the Network Manager tray applet works very well on me other PC. Any new internet connection is detected immediately and it doesn't cause me all that pain.
[06:08] <omar_> that* the...
[06:08] <mesh1> omar, you are only logged in as one user at a time?
[06:08] <endoubt> omar_: on some systems (like mine) it works flawlessly, but I've worked with other systems that give me tons of headaches
[06:08] <sam_> backtrack3
[06:09] <mesh1> omar_, others have suggested to try wicd instead
[06:09] <omar_> mesh1, Yeah.
[06:09] <rww> brb
[06:09] <omar_> mesh1, wicd?
[06:10] <mesh1> omar_ http://wicd.sourceforge.net/
[06:10] <tarelerulz> xat_ , Do you have to have uuid in the grub  menu.lst file  or is (hd0,4) good enough
[06:10] <xat_> tarelerulz: I'd use the uuid. (hd0,4) is fine, assuming that's where your root partition is
[06:10] <xat_> some systems are finicky and the drive/partition order actually changes when devices are polled
[06:11] <endoubt> uuid is always better if you can get it
[06:11] <xat_> so the uuid is more reliable in the sense that it works regardless of your device/partition setup
[06:12] <brutus> endoubt, thanks a lot
[06:12] <akahige1> I upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid and my Firefox interface got trashed.  I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to fix it.  Anybody seen anything like this?
[06:12] <mesh1> omar_ http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php
[06:12] <prakash_621> v4vijayakumar, terminal => whereis bittorrent
[06:12] <v4vijayakumar> prakash_621: one sec
[06:12] <endoubt> to get your uuid type "blkid" in the terminal
[06:12] <endoubt> "sudo blkid"
[06:12] <tarelerulz> xat_ I have extended partition so   Do I point to the extended partition ? the next one name Linux .  That is that what is  messing me up
[06:13] <sam_> akahigel: did you save your preferences: etc. bookmarks
[06:13] <v4vijayakumar> /usr/share/bittorrent
[06:13] <v4vijayakumar> but thats a dir
[06:13] <ardchoille> xat_: I've never liked the uuid idea until you just explained it the way you did, now I like it :)
[06:13] <jordan_> how do you make both stderr and stdout print to the same file?
[06:13] <bdelin88> oh geeze i am scared to make ubuntu my home os
[06:13] <bdelin88> lol
[06:13] <mesh1> chencaifa and rww are you guys playing tag popping in and out like that all the time?
[06:13] <Fezzler1> sam_>> Link was no help other to confirm changing the Trash icon on the desktop is a p-i-t-a
[06:14] <joeb3_> jordan_, command >file 2&>1
[06:14] <xat_> ardchoille: I had to deal with shifting devices / partitions back when feisty came out, so I learned to love it quickly :P
[06:14] <rww> mesh1: my ISP is... irritating.
[06:14] <akahige1> sam_: didn't back up the profile, no... but localstore.rdf should have the UI layout in it, and I have a backup of that. (but restoring it didn't help)
[06:14] <bdelin88> anyone have any luck installing dell printers? i have a 922 all-in-one that i can't get any support for
[06:14] <sam_> Fezzerl: why do you want to change the idon
[06:14] <Fezzler1> sam_>> I have a themes installed.  I wonder if the directory where theme files are points to the icon
[06:14] <xat_> tarelerulz: I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. whichever partition / is located on is the one you want root to point to
[06:14] <prakash_621> terminal /urs/share/bittorrent
[06:15] <jordan_> joeb3_ how do you explain the 2&>1 syntax?
[06:15] <endoubt> jordan_: I'd imagine it has something to do with using switches like & and |
[06:15] <mesh1> rww, lol, it's like you are here and chencaifa disappears, and then you disappear and chencaifa comes back
[06:15] <prakash_621> sorry, terminal => /usr/share/bittorrent
[06:15] <Fezzler1> sam_>> Silly asthetics.  Want to change frombox to wirebasket
[06:15] <mesh1> I'm beginning to think maybe you are like Clark Kent and Superman or something
[06:15] <brandon123> jordan_: it just means to merge stderr into stdout...?
[06:15] <rww> mesh1: lol. Well, I should be around for a while, so maybe we'll never see chencaifa again =/
[06:15] <joeb3_> jordan_, http://www.livefirelabs.com/unix_tip_trick_shell_script/june_2003/06092003.htm
[06:15] <mesh1> haha
[06:16] <jordan_> I know that's what it means generally
[06:16] <endoubt> ok
[06:16]  * endoubt is now using xchat
[06:16] <tarelerulz> xat_ I have an extended part partition name extended and I put the Partition for one of my install in it.  It   It goes like this fdisk -l     linux ,swap , extended , linux , swap.
[06:17] <mike4263> the 2 is stderr, the 1 is stdout.  its piping (>) into the 1
[06:17] <xat_> tarelerulz: oh I see
[06:17] <bdelin88> ***i am using pidgin! lol
[06:17]  * endoubt was using pidgin, but is trying out xchat
[06:17]  * brandon123 thinks irssi is gold :)
[06:17] <mesh1> endoubt: you might also want to try konversation
[06:17] <endoubt> it's all good as long as I can get the sounds
[06:18] <jordan_> joeb3_ command >  file 2>&1 , did you have that backwards you had 2&>1
[06:18] <xat_> tarelerulz: is the partition after extended the one that contains root?
[06:18] <meistergrado> Problem: no sound. even when system preferences is set to Autodetect, all I get is crackly static feedback when the opening tune should be playing.
[06:18] <rww> endoubt: me too :)
[06:18] <sam_> akahigel: firs go to bookmarks > organize bookmarks > import backup>export HTML, and save your bookmarks to desktop or home
[06:18] <xat_> if it is, point grub to that partition's uuid
[06:19] <meistergrado> actually, the problem is not no sound, it's just crackly feedback. o_O
[06:19] <sam_> akahige: then go to synamptic and remove firefox
[06:19] <tater> hello everyone what is a good iso burner
[06:19] <sam_> then reinstall
[06:19] <mesh1> but if you want to use it to run bash scripts, konversation is the way to go ;)
[06:19] <Yasumoto> tater: brasero
[06:19] <meistergrado> except for when I can go into Amarok's settings and change its engine to OSS, then it itself can play sound
[06:19] <tarelerulz> xat_ , by  Is I think.  It has /  with all my boot, root, usr,tmp, ect  of one of my Ubuntu installs
[06:20] <endoubt> mesh1: I'm very hesitant to install KDE apps, I had bad bloating experiences in the past
[06:20] <xat_> tarelerulz: ah. then yeah, that's the one you want to point to
[06:20] <akahige1> sam_: I'll give that a shot
[06:20] <rww> mesh1: odd, I usually run bash scripts in my terminal, not my IRC client =P
[06:20] <bdelin88> intrepid ibex is sexy as hell
[06:20] <mesh1> rww, woah, you can do that???
[06:20] <bdelin88> except for this buggy DUST theme i have installed, damn
[06:20] <sam_> akahigel: if that doesn't work, use apt-get --remove option
[06:20] <endoubt> mesh1: I've made an exception for K3b :-)
[06:20] <bruenig> !ohmy | bdelin88
[06:21] <\Kira> how can I tell how much ram my system has through command line?
[06:21] <rww> odd, the only time I ever hear about dust in here is people having problems with it...
[06:21] <tater> has anyone ever used damn small linux before
[06:21] <ardchoille> \Kira: free
[06:21] <adam7_> \Kira: free -m
[06:21] <xat_> tarelerulz: as an alternative you could go ahead and try each individual linux partition's uuid, since you can always just change it on reboot by editing grub's menu.lst directly. you only have 4 partitions (and only two are linux) so you could experiment and see which one is correct
[06:21] <NearLite> i was
[06:21] <\Kira> ardchoille adam7_ : thanks
[06:21] <xat_> but it seems you've found the correct one, so no problem!
[06:21] <meistergrado> Problem: no sound. even when system preferences is set to Autodetect, all I get is crackly static feedback when the opening tune should be playing. actually, the problem is not no sound, it's just crackly feedback, except for when I can go into Amarok's settings and change its engine to OSS, then it itself can play sound.
[06:22] <eliasib> how do i make my comp recognize im the owner
[06:22] <eliasib> ?
[06:22] <mike4263> tater I used it once when I borked my setup and had to edit my login files
[06:22] <endoubt> \Kira: sudo lshw
[06:22] <endoubt> tater: I love DSL Linux
[06:22] <mike4263> set it up to use ldap authentication to a nonexistent server
[06:22] <xat_> meistergrado: you're on intrepid?
[06:22] <rww> !sudo | eliasib
[06:22] <brutus> why doesn't my usb drive mount automatically?
[06:23] <aefhlh> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.
[06:23] <meistergrado> xat_: yes, 8.10 x64. Have 64 bit hardware.
[06:23] <aefhlh> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.
[06:23] <jjore> What program do I run to start the console installer?
[06:23] <ryty> aefhlh, that's old.
[06:23] <mike4263> aefhlh: clean up :)
[06:23] <adam7_> jjore: do you have the alt. install cd?
[06:23] <prakash_621> can i know which encryption is used to store users passwords in default ?
[06:23] <brandon123> aefhlh: look in the bathroom
[06:23] <mesh11> hmmm
[06:23] <jjore> adam7_: I've mounted the casper image inside a desktop CD.
[06:23]  * Andrew`` always finds things he's lost in the oven

[06:24] <tater> does anyone know if i could use knoppix on my laptop that dont have a hard drive
[06:24] <xat_> meistergrado: weird. sounds like a pulseaudio issue but intrepid should have a pretty refined pulse setup by now
[06:24] <endoubt> tater: DSL will run in ram
[06:24] <lopLi> yes
[06:24] <endoubt> tater: on boot just type "dsl toram"
[06:25] <tater> thats what im useing now but haveing trouble finding my pcmia cars
[06:25] <tater> cards*
[06:25] <endoubt> dsl in ram is super fast, even on old p2 systems
[06:25] <prakash_621> can anyone say which encryption is used to store passwords  in default. ???
[06:25] <meistergrado> xat_: Additionally, I just did the driver refresh/reinstall as dictated here  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting#Manual%20Installation
[06:25] <meistergrado> should I install pulseaudio?
[06:25] <meistergrado> device chooser?
[06:25] <mesh11> tater, yes, you can use any use knoppix without a hard drive, it is not designed to be installed on a hard drive.
[06:25] <xat_> you could, but you shouldn't have to. one sec
[06:25] <endoubt> tater: I've had trouble with WPA with my atheros based proxim pcmcia card in DSL
[06:25] <meistergrado> alright, thanks.
[06:26] <rww> *** Discussion of non-Ubuntu Linux operating systems belongs in ##linux, not here. Thanks.
[06:26] <cbrunner__> hey, I am trying to mount a samba share which is hosted on my ubuntu server from my mac...
[06:26] <tater> i have two cards and none of them worked wireless and hard lined
[06:26] <endoubt> tater: but unencrypted worked fine
[06:26] <xat_> meistergrado: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 you can check this thread since it does mention intrepid
[06:26] <rww> Linux distros, rather **
[06:26] <tater> with my dsl i had to boot it up in failsafe
[06:26] <cbrunner__> and this same server config used to work completely fine, but now when I try to mount it authenticates but then mount_smbfs fails with a broken pipe
[06:26] <sam_> tater: knoppix should run on ram
[06:26] <endoubt> tater: you can set up with ndiswrapper or something and then burn a custom dsl cd
[06:27] <cbrunner__> any way for me to figure out what the heck is going on?
[06:27] <ardchoille> This is not really the place for chat about other distros
[06:27] <meistergrado> xat_: thanks, i'll have a read through that. :)
[06:27] <DFlamenco> hello
[06:27] <endoubt> cbrunner__: make sure you have smbfs installed before you try the cifs command
[06:27] <Bulwinkle> is there some way I can manually partition 8.10?
[06:27] <mesh11> of course it may be possible to run ubuntu off of a usb flash drive
[06:28] <eliasib> how do i move desktop folders to my Z: folder
[06:28] <rww> !mount | Bulwinkle
[06:28] <rww> Bulwinkle: wait, never mind, wrong factoid
[06:28] <tater> endoubt, how do i do that
[06:28] <endoubt> tater: "sudo apt-get install smbfs"
[06:28] <ryty> rww, that one seems a bit off.
[06:28] <rww> ryty: yeah, i noticed
[06:28] <eliasib> how do i move my desktop folders to my Z: folder?
[06:29] <brutus> could anyone please tell me how to mount my  usb in gutsy?
[06:29] <jjore> eliasib: er, just move them? With your mouse?
[06:29] <rww> eliasib: What do you mean by Z: folder? Ubuntu doesn't use drive letters
[06:29] <cbrunner__> endoubt, it worked before so I am sure I have it installed
[06:29] <tater> endoubt, is knoppix more user friendly?
[06:29] <josemari> hola
[06:29] <eliasib> I mean to my drive, it tells me that I can not do it
[06:29] <cbrunner__> endoubt, it is definitely installed, newest version
[06:29] <Bulwinkle> rww yeah, I know how to partiton a Linux system, I'm used to SUSE that lets you make LVM parts, or RAID parts when you want, anything like that with the Ubuntu install?
[06:30] <endoubt> cbrunner: then "sudo mount -t cifs user="user,password" //192.168.1.XX/sharename /media/mountpoint
[06:30] <endoubt> cbrunner__: it's something along those lines, let me look at my mount script, I got tired of typing it
[06:30] <SteveH> Is this the right group to ask about network troubleshooting?
[06:31] <rww> tater: Discussion of non-Ubuntu Linux distributions DOES NOT BELONG in this channel. Take it to ##linux.
[06:31] <SteveH> ... in Ubuntu.
[06:31] <rww> SteveH: yes
[06:31] <jordan_> it doesn't say what & is in 2>&1
[06:31] <endoubt> cbrunner__: sudo mount -t cifs -o user="MSHOME/user%pass" //192.168.1.100/bobo /media/bobo
[06:31] <tater> rww, sorry it was just a general question
[06:31] <DFlamenco> would anybody recommend building their own linux rig or is it less hassle to buy one premade
[06:31] <eliasib> How do I move my desktop folders to my computer folder? which has all my Operating system files
[06:31] <endoubt> tater: yea, we're gonna have to put the kaibash on the knoppix chat
[06:31] <sam_> brutis: do it with the file manager. why do you want to mount a usb: for what purpose?
[06:32] <Bulwinkle> anyone?
[06:32] <cbrunner__> let me try that
[06:32] <SteveH> tater:  No ut us a Ububti betworking problem.
[06:32] <tater> steveh, i dont understand what u are saying
[06:33] <rww> SteveH: Go ahead and detail your problem. The comments about going elsewhere weren't directed to you :)
[06:33] <ryty> SteveH, ask already
[06:33] <tater> steveh, still new to this kind of chat
[06:33] <mike4263> DFlamenco: are you familier with building systems?
[06:33] <SteveH> I have a wireless that HAS been working.  Something has gone wrong.  I can run iwconfig and it sees everyone around ...
[06:33] <endoubt> tater: it's like a sweatshop in here bro, they make sure you stay on track
[06:34] <jordan_> what is the & what is the diff in 2&>1 and 2>&1
[06:34] <mike4263> *familiar
[06:34] <sam_> Bulwinkle: just download Backtrack3 and use Gparted
[06:34] <justpaul> SteveH: did you just update your network manager?
[06:34] <endoubt> Ubuntu Live cd has gparted
[06:34] <cbrunner__> endoubt: are you doing that mount command from ubuntu?
[06:34] <endoubt> cbrunner__: yea
[06:34] <tater> endoubt, lol i gottcha thanks for the heads up lol
[06:34] <dime> hi.. does anyone know if it's ok for me to start multiple smartctl -t long?
[06:34] <SteveH> I can run ifconfig and it works with the correct IP address, and route runs correctly ...
[06:34] <dime> i have 5 drives i need to do long tests on, can i do them all at once?
[06:35] <cbrunner__> endoubt, I am trying to mount from OS X does that matter?
[06:35] <Bulwinkle> sam_: um, no
[06:35] <smokewon> Hey there i just ran sudo apt-get update and im getting this error: http://rafb.net/p/RvkKnW85.html how do i fix that?
[06:35] <endoubt> dime: the Hirens 9.5 cd should have lots of testing tools on it, not exactly linux though
[06:35] <SteveH> but when I try to ping outside (or even inside) my network, it tells me destination unreachable.  I'm having a thinko ... what may I be missing?
[06:35] <Bulwinkle> prepartitioning...  sounds like a bad solution to a problem to me
[06:36] <ghaleb> hello, everyday I return back to my office and see my desktop's memory is full, how can I see the applications resides the space ?
[06:36] <endoubt> cbrunner__: is it an ubuntu share you're trying to mount?
[06:36] <rww> Bulwinkle: sorry, what was your question again? It got knocked out of my head...
[06:36] <cbrunner__> endoubt: yes
[06:36] <Bulwinkle> rww: there is no way to build my partition scheme the way I want
[06:36] <tater> endoubt, what does it mean when u guys say mount
[06:36] <rww> ghaleb: System > Administration > System Monitor. Or, from the command line: top
[06:36] <SteveH> justpaul: No.  I was playing around with wifi0radar, and it broke something that I don't seem to be able to fix.
[06:36] <robb_m> !mount | tater
[06:36] <endoubt> ghaleb: main menu > system > administration > system monitor
[06:37] <rww> Bulwinkle: during install? Yes there is. During setup, when you get to the partitioning step, the last option is Custom
[06:37] <robb_m> meh, i dont think thats what i wanted :(
[06:37] <endoubt> tater: make a drive readable for the operating system
[06:37] <Bulwinkle> rww: still not custom enough
[06:37] <rww> Bulwinkle: what do you need to do that it can't do?
[06:37] <ghaleb> endoubt: rww, how can I sort top for memory
[06:37] <Bulwinkle> what I want to do is build a LVM volume
[06:38] <justpaul> SteveM: it might be that your wireless card module is set to promiscuous mode.
[06:38] <tater> endoubt, sorry for all the noob questions
[06:38] <Bulwinkle> Or a RAID volume
[06:38] <toworsix> welcome tater
[06:38] <pretender> Just installed Ununtu 8.10 and mythbuntu and have installed mytharchive but can browse to it by going to localhost in firefox
[06:38] <ryty> ghaleb, press > until it sorts by memory
[06:38] <Bulwinkle> Should I have downloaded the server media?
[06:38] <cbrunner__> endoubt: cbrunner$ sudo mount -t cifs -o user="ccb%mypass" smb://myip/music /Volumes/music
[06:38] <ghaleb> thank you all, I got it
[06:38] <cbrunner__> endoubt: every time I do that it says no file or directory /Volumes/music
[06:39] <cbrunner__> even though the directory is there
[06:39] <SteveH> Hmm, justpaul, I am using the same hardware under Winders.
[06:39] <endoubt> cbrunner__: so you're running a samba share from an ubuntu box and you're trying to mount it in osx?
[06:39] <mike4263> jordan_: okay, I just did some tests to confirm
[06:39] <omar_> I need help configuring my Thomson Wireless modem, the modem seems to be detected by the system: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78216/ . However, it still doesn't seem to work. Please help.
[06:40] <mike4263> but in 2&>1 the & runs the process in the background.  All output is piped to a file '1'
[06:40] <\Kira> When I run apt-get upgrade, why does it tell me that there is packages being held back?
[06:40] <rww> Bulwinkle: http://www.raskas.be/blog/2008/07/18/installing-ubuntu/ is a workaround for LVM
[06:40] <mike4263> in 2>&1 the &1 represents stderr
[06:40] <cbrunner__> endoubt: yep
[06:40] <ardchoille> \Kira: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:40] <mike4263> err &1 represents stdout
[06:40] <Meta> Quick question: The Ubuntu minimal install discs, do they come with drivers? I've found that during the ordinary install my wireless card is will not connect but will work fine after the install, could this be a problem? I still want to use Ubuntu but using a more cut down version
[06:40] <justpaul> SteveH assuming your adapter is wlan1, try the following command: sudo iwconfig wlan1 mode master
[06:41] <bdelin88> if i wanted to learn to program, say do stuff with ubuntu the terminal and all that, should i dive straight int C++ or what would you guys recommend?
[06:41] <endoubt> cbrunner__: did you already try this guide? http://docs.huihoo.com/darwin/opendarwin/articles/osx_smb/ar01s02.html
[06:41] <\Kira> ardchoille: oh, so its because im not upgrading my distro? I dont want to upgrade at the moment.
[06:41] <rww> Bulwinkle: alternatively, I think the Alternate Installer supports it
[06:41] <ardchoille> \Kira: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade won't upgrade to the next distro
[06:41] <mike4263> so, if you didnt want error messages, you could do cmd 2>/dev/null
[06:41] <\Kira> ardchoille: what does it do?
[06:42] <Bulwinkle> rww: thx... I am a suse guy and thought that maybe ubuntu would work around a problem they have but... I'm not going to waste 600MB while people are trying to watch porn
[06:42]  * endoubt is out for a smoke, hold the phones.
[06:42] <ardchoille> \Kira: it updates some things like the kernel
[06:42] <\Kira> ardchoille: okay... thanks
[06:42] <cbrunner__> endoubt: yea man, this share has worked flawlessly for months and all the sudden out the blue it started doing this, I didnt even update anything
[06:42] <SteveH> TY, justpaul...I'll give it a go.
[06:42] <rww> Bulwinkle: I think the problem is that the regular install is meant for "normal" users, and "normal" users won't need LVM/Raid. Hence it being in the Alternate install. And yeah, that was a dumb design choice imho.
[06:42] <mesh11> Bulwinkle: this might also help: http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/raid-lvm.php
[06:43] <Decepticon_> userdir is
[06:43] <prakash_621> how to change the root password ?
[06:43] <rww> !root | prakash_621
[06:43] <justpaul> SteveH if you do not get errors, try setting it back to managed with the command: sudo iwconfig wlan1 mode managed
[06:43] <Bulwinkle> rww: yeah...  probably, the fact that I am going to use the machine in question as a server shouldn't matter but it is good to know
[06:44] <Bulwinkle> I've got the new Redhat on hand, lets see if I can strike out
[06:44] <prakash_621> Yes ubottu. I am in my home system. and new to ubuntu. thats y i am asking ?

[06:44] <ryty> prakash_621, I changed mine just because. sudo su and then passwd
[06:44] <mike4263> fedora 10 looked nice, I might throw it on my desktop
[06:44] <prakash_621> how to set the root password.
[06:45] <mike4263> intrepid live cd wont boot, but fedora 9 did
[06:45] <mesh11> prakash_621: why do you want a root password?
[06:45] <prakash_621> to protect my root account.
[06:45] <Meta> Quick question: The Ubuntu minimal install discs, do they come with drivers? I've found that during the ordinary install my wireless card is will not connect but will work fine after the install, could this be a problem? I still want to use Ubuntu but using a more cut down version
[06:45] <rww> prakash_621: the root account's disabled by default. NOBODY can log into it.
[06:45] <sam_> it's already protected prak
[06:45] <mesh11> prakash_621: how can someone get into your root account now?
[06:45] <rww> prakash_621: it's more protected disabled than passworded.
[06:46] <bbbthunda> sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[06:46] <bbbthunda> whoops wrong window :)
[06:46] <prakash_621> Oh , Thanks, meshll, rww ryty.
[06:46] <sam_> prakash: it's protected to the point of the strength of you sudo password
[06:46] <rww> prakash_621: for more information, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo (which I already linked you to)
[06:46] <Meta> No one knows anything about the minimal discs. >_>
[06:47] <rww> Meta: ask in #ubuntu-server. I think they use them.
[06:47] <Meta> But it's not a Ubuntu Server disc.
[06:47] <Meta> It's this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[06:48] <Meta> What I kinda want is to be able to customise what packages *I* want.
[06:48] <relisys> hi
[06:48] <endoubt> cbrunner__: "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" on the ubuntu box
[06:48] <rww> Meta: oh, that one. It doesn't come with much of anything, and downloads what it needs from the web. That should include your wireless drivers.
[06:48] <Meta> rww: I rely on my wireless to get me on the internet.
[06:48] <justpaul> anyone getting segfaults with the latest build of network-manager in libc-2.8.90.so?

[06:50] <relisys> thank you endoubt
[06:50] <cbrunner__> endoubt, I have restarted the box and restarted samba many times, didnt work
[06:50] <Al1> my soundcard is being stupid i am trying to install pulseaudio using http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 but when i get to step 5
[06:50] <Al1> the application doesnt open
[06:50] <prakash_621> i tried to start from root shell , startx. it went to GUI with username root. Is that possible ?
[06:50] <hateball> Hmmm... Do the init scripts wait for the previous one to finish, before starting the next one? Or do they just start in the defined order?
[06:50] <endoubt> cbrunner__: hmmm
[06:50] <lianimator1> does anyone have the green video with your camera in skype?
[06:51] <mantis_> Hi all. I've set up name-based vhosts on apache on my ubuntu box. The vhosts are working, and can be seen from the localhost. However, other hosts on my network attempting to get my vhosts get 404 errors from apache. Why can't external hosts get service ?
[06:51] <endoubt> cbrunner__: what is the error again?
[06:51] <prakash_621> What is skype ?
[06:51] <mesh11> prakash_621: are you using a live cd, or is it installed on your hard drive?
[06:51] <rww> hateball: by default, they wait
[06:51] <endoubt> prakash_621: god's gift to geeks
[06:52] <feross> hi guys, where are source files kept by default if you install them from apt?
[06:52] <prakash_621> meshll, installed on my harddrive
[06:52] <endoubt> feross: they're not source, they're binaries
[06:52] <sam_> prakash: skype is an Voip client
[06:52] <toworsix> hi
[06:52] <toworsix> welcome to china
[06:52] <relisys> endoubt: please tell me why is it sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg    does not setup my video hardware and jumps directly to the keyboard setup and then closes?
[06:52] <endoubt> so which is it? two or six?
[06:52] <mesh11> then no, you should not be under username root in the gui
[06:52] <hateball> rww™ Alright... I'm wanting to put update && upgrade in a shutdown/reboot script, and wanted to be sure the machine wont halt midway through
[06:52] <toworsix> is there any one from china
[06:52] <sam_> Viop is voice over inernet protocol: phone online
[06:53] <mantis_> It's an odd problem, because the external hosts can definatly get service from apache, but it's they get 404's.
[06:53] <mesh11> sam_ don't you mean voice internet over protocol ;)
[06:53] <prakash_621> sam, Is skype free service to speak in the internet ?
[06:53] <feross> endoubt: well I need to compile the sis driver so the instructions say I need the X sources which I think I installed with apt-get install xserver-xorg.dev but I can't find them...
[06:53] <sam_> thanks mesh
[06:53] <endoubt> feross: you'll have to go and download the source directly from the software provider
[06:54] <mesh11> sam_ I was just kidding though (you typed viop instead of voip)
[06:54] <feross> endoubt: doh!! ok I'll look into that thanks
[06:54] <clarkn0va> Can anybody point me to instructions on repairing a root fs that is xfs on raid5? I upgraded 8.04 to 8.10 and now / is mounting ro.
[06:54] <sam_> sam: it's free if you go computer to computerm, butcosts if you go to phoneline or cell basically
[06:54] <lianimator> I'm trying to use a workaround the green vid in skype but I get this: ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
[06:54] <endoubt> relisys: hmm...it seems that the developers have changed the way that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg works
[06:54] <ashuran> hi! i just move to linux for a while nad still try to catch up with it. i'm using ubuntu 8.10 now and i 've need some help..could anybody...?

[06:55] <relisys> I need to generate a proper xorg.conf for my monitor
[06:55] <clarkn0va> I can't install a thing. I'm at a recovery console. xfs_repair -d /dev/md0 just gives an error.
[06:55] <HRshovinstuff> how do you turn off the edge-of-screen-gravity  in compiz  i can't find it anywherE!
[06:55] <mantis_>  prakash_621 there are a couple of ways. If you both have skype, then it's free
[06:55] <clarkn0va> I'm on a live cd atm.
[06:55] <endoubt> relisys: I'm looking into it
[06:56] <prakash_621> Oh. Ok thanks mantis.
[06:56] <relisys> endoubt: thank you.
[06:56] <justpaul> clarkn0va, what's the error?
[06:56] <lianimator> prakash_621: if you want to call to a phone, then you need to buy skype credits.
[06:56] <mantis_> prakash_621: I'm in NZ, and I use skype to talk to my dad in Qatar
[06:56] <endoubt> relisys: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[06:56] <ashuran> i'm using twinkle as my voip phone. but everytime i try to call sombody, my internet connection just cut off. and i have to restart my router to be back to normal again. do anybody know the reason...?
[06:57] <sam_> prakash: find the program you want-download it, and get a headset
[06:57] <prakash_621> how much will it cost to call from india to new zealand say about 1 minute talk ?
[06:57] <relisys> endoubt: trying
[06:57] <SanoSan> I keep getting a Restricted Driver for my nVidia driver.  How do I get it to go away?
[06:57] <mantis_> prakash_621: If you are both using skype, then it's free
[06:57] <DistroJockey> HRshovinstuff,  Snapping Windows in the Window Management section
[06:57] <HRshovinstuff> Anyone know how to turn off the window gravity in compiz-fusion ???
[06:57] <clarkn0va> IIRC, something about a log needing to be replayed, "try mounting the fs first, if you can't mount it, then try xfs_repair -L". As mentioned, it's mounted ro, and "mount -o remount,rw /dev/md0" gives another error about mtab being read only.
[06:57] <HRshovinstuff> distrojocky: thats off not it
[06:57] <rww> prakash_621: http://skype.com/prices/ http://skype.com/prices/callrates/
[06:58] <endoubt> prakash_621: http://www.skype.com/prices/callrates/
[06:58] <justpaul> clarkn0va, you most likely will need to kill the log.
[06:58] <relisys> endoubt:   :( nope it alterned nothing.   it says overwriting and created identical file
[06:58] <relisys> endoubt:  is there no other way?
[06:58] <clarkn0va> I tried, using the -L switch, but that didn't work.
[06:58] <mantis_> prakash_621: Alternatly, you can pay for some of skypes services. You will be able to do more than talk between two skype clients. More options will cost, but it can be cheaper than non-voip
[06:58] <vbman11> is there a way to do a address redirect in ubuntu so i can redirect www.me.com to 127.0.0.1?
[06:59] <endoubt> relisys: what exactly are you trying to do again?
[06:59] <rww> vbman11: yeah. edit /etc/hosts
[06:59] <mantis_> vbman11: edit your hosts file
[06:59] <sam_> prakash: some countries are free depending on which voip service you use
[06:59] <vbman11> thanks!!
[06:59] <rww> vbman11: there's instructions in the file for how to do it
[06:59] <relisys> endoubt:  my refresh rate is off.. my screen is burning in to my eyes even right now
[06:59] <justpaul> clarkn0va, what error did you getr using the -L parameter?
[06:59] <Asunda> hi, i need some information.
[06:59] <SanoSan> "Proprietary drivers are being used to make this computer run properly", restricted driver for my nVidia drivers.  I can't get this message to go away.  Any help?
[07:00] <endoubt> relisys: try "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[07:00] <clarkn0va> Oh boy, not sure if I recall. It wouldn't reset for some reason.
[07:00] <relisys> i have to edit this manualy.   Also my xorg.conf file has no settings at all
[07:00] <Asunda> Can anyone tell me if its possible to make a hard disk with 2 partitions, one with ntfs another with unix fs
[07:00] <endoubt> relisys: no settings?
[07:00] <LSD|Ninja> Asunda: yes
[07:00] <sam_> prakash: google Voip clinet comparison
[07:00] <mixed-_-> !ldap
[07:00] <relisys> endoubt:  no no settings  i am in that file now..
[07:00] <omar_> mesh1, Thanks wicd is amazing! It's working now. :)
[07:00] <justpaul> clarkn0va, are you sure your raid is healthy?
[07:00] <Asunda> thanks Ninja :)
[07:00] <endoubt> relisys: empty file?
[07:00] <relisys> no no not empty
[07:00] <relisys> just no settings
[07:01] <clarkn0va> It was working fine until I upgraded to 8.10, then when I rebooted it failed as described.
[07:01] <relisys> endoubt: for example
[07:01] <rww> omar_, mesh1: Huzzah, another convert to wicdom ^_^
[07:01] <clarkn0va> I've reboot a few times with the same result.
[07:01] <SanoSan> Is there a Ubuntu nVidia driver I need to make this restricted driver thing shut up?
[07:01] <relisys> Section "Monitor"
[07:01] <relisys> 	Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
[07:01] <relisys> EndSection
[07:01] <relisys> like that
[07:01] <FloodBot1> relisys: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:01] <endoubt> relisys: one person suggested booting into a livecd, then emailing the working xorg.conf to yourself
[07:01] <omar_> rww, well, why not?? It works after all, lol! :)
[07:02] <clarkn0va> In several attempts I got xfs_repair to run, then I rebooted and was back to the same jazz.
[07:02] <akorpija> hey guy sjust wondering why Synpatics only shows older finds for programs i want to install, like Beagle it shows version 0.3.3.2 but the latest is 0.3.8
[07:02] <relisys> endoubt: well iam in normal boot right now.   and its not like its broken
[07:02] <akorpija> 0.3.3*
[07:02] <sam_> Prakash: some comparisons will tell you which voip service provide free service to which countries for free. also google top ten voip serveces or servers
[07:02] <endoubt> relisys: what kind of monitor do you have?
[07:02] <HRshovinstuff> oh i found it finally!  its under   Wobbly Windows/Snap windows  --disable
[07:02] <SanoSan> Any help with a restricted driver available??
[07:02] <rww> akorpija: Hit the reload button at the top of the page. if that doesn't work, open the file /etc/apt/sources.list and post its contents to paste.ubuntu.com, then put the link here
[07:03] <omar_> rww, does it have a tray icon applet?
[07:03] <vbman11> rww: there arn't any instructions like you said...
[07:03] <relisys> endoubt: LG model l194wt  flat screen
[07:03] <DistroJockey> HRshovinstuff, ahh, cool :)
[07:03] <akorpija> rww will do i've definitely tried reload so i'll post
[07:03] <rww> vbman11: oh, damn, I was thinking of something else. I'll tell you instead, then.
[07:03] <relisys> endoubt: but still if the file is with out settings  then where does it get the feed to control the card?
[07:03] <vbman11> rww:thanks
[07:03] <trancefat> hi all.. can anybody please tell me how i can stop the titlebar of a window from disappearing
[07:04] <trancefat> i tried adding Option ARGBVisuals to the config file
[07:04] <akorpija> rww here's the link:   http://paste.ubuntu.com/78224/
[07:04] <rww> vbman11: first off, make sure you're editing the file as root (so sudo nano /etc/hosts, or gksudo gedit /etc/hosts). Next, make a new line. Put the IP address you want to redirect to at the start of the line, then hit tab and put the domain name you want to redirect
[07:04] <endoubt> relisys: check out this thread and copy his info from the monitor section, he has the same monitor http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?p=5632559
[07:05] <vbman11> rww: oh ok, I just had the two switched, Thanks!
[07:05] <endoubt> relisys: I've run into that problem with Sabayon linux (xorg having nothing to do with anything) but not with ubuntu
[07:06] <bdelin88> anyone know where i could find a guide to automount some ntfs partitions?
[07:06] <bdelin88> with fstab or whatever
[07:06] <relisys> i will try that... though i just tried enableling  nvidia restricted driver  but that still hurts my eyes
[07:06] <relisys> heh
[07:06] <sam_> rww: is it not true that lilo can recognize a usb drive on a computer where the cmosh (don't remember the name of the flash equivalent to cmosh) doesn't boot to usb?
[07:06] <bdelin88> err... anyone know
[07:07] <rww> akorpija: the latest version of beagle for hardy (which is what you appear to be using) is 0.3.3-2ubuntu1. Intrepid is the one with 0.3.8-1ubuntu2. You can check which version of Ubuntu you have with lsb_release -a (if that command doesn't say hardy, let me know). If you want to upgrade to intrepid, follow the instructions I'm about to have ubottu send you.
[07:07] <rww> !upgrade | akorpija
[07:07] <endoubt> bdelin88: here's what mine looks like in /etc/fstab /dev/sda1       /media/disk	ntfs-3g		defaults,force	0	0
[07:07] <rww> sam_: I have no idea. Ask the channel.
[07:07] <relisys> endoubt: do you know of a a way i can stop my FXce from  reloading all my opened windows in prior session?
[07:07] <bdelin88> thanks! what is the command to determine what devs are mounted as what?
[07:07] <clarkn0va> bdelin88, use df or mount
[07:08] <akorpija> rww okay thanks, but i noticed it was the same for Pidgin, it didn't show me anything above 2.4.1 (i think that was it) so i had to go to their site and download 2.5.2?
[07:08] <bdelin88> k
[07:08] <rww> akorpija: Again, the latest version of Pidgin available for hardy is 2.4.1. The latest version for Intrepid is 2.5.2
[07:08] <clarkn0va> Anybody tell me how to check a raid partition using a live cd? Or a link?
[07:08] <akorpija> rww oh weird haha 2.5.2 is running flawlessly for me tho ;)
[07:08] <rww> akorpija: Ubuntu releases don't receive major version upgrades after they're released.
[07:09] <rww> akorpija: Not really surprising. It's less a matter of "this won't work" and more a matter of "we don't want to offer upgrades that might cause problems"
[07:09] <endoubt> relisys: http://wiki.xfce.org/faq#session_manager
[07:09] <relisys> thanks
[07:09] <rww> !backports | akorpija: If you want to get upgraded software, but don't want to upgrade from hardy, consider backports
[07:10] <akorpija> rww: oh yea i can see that...maybe i'll try installing that newer version of beagle for fun then haha
[07:10] <akorpija> rww: okay thanks a lot bud u saved me some confusion there!
[07:10] <sam_> rww: do you mean this chanel, or is there a boot chanel ? sorry for the dumb queston
[07:11] <rww> sam_: this channel. People tend to ignore questions prepended with someone's name =/
[07:11] <rww> akorpija: no problem. The Ubuntu repository system can be *really* confusing, but it's awesome once you get used to it.
[07:12] <leohartx> how do i install open office 3.0 ?
[07:12] <sam_> what is the name of the flash chip that replaced cmos
[07:12] <akorpija> rww yea i made the mistake of using windows after i got sort of used to ubuntu so im getting back in the groove (the amount of spyare you get in windows is ridiculous even if you're careful as hell)
[07:13] <rww> leohartx: OpenOffice.org 3 isn't available for Intrepid yet. It'll be in !backports at some point. There's an unofficial PPA repository that had it, but that repo is down b/c of a bug in its packages right now (should be back up next week maybe).
[07:13] <clarkn0va> leohartx, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml
[07:13] <endoubt> leohartx: www.openoffice.org
[07:13] <sam_> bios....I remembered
[07:14] <rww> clarkn0va: those instructions don't work right now
[07:14] <sam_> If the bios does not have a setting for usb bootup, can lilo boot to usb anyways?
[07:14] <rww> clarkn0va: see my previous comment about the PPA repo.
[07:14] <sam_> I know that grub cannot
[07:14] <clarkn0va> rww, too bad, I'm all about using the repos.
[07:15] <rww> clarkn0va: the official answer for "How do I upgrade to OO.org3?" right now is "You don't." D:
[07:15] <akorpija> rww i just installed OO 3 a few days ago but it wasn't an overly friendly install
[07:15] <jcbchadwick43> Hey guys
[07:16] <jcbchadwick43> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvIn7yo2qio&feature=related
[07:16] <rww> clarkn0va: 'cause all the non-repo, non-PPA ways of doing it will probably cause problems when mixed with the theoretical future backports package
[07:16] <jcbchadwick43> Is there any way that I can Fix my hard drive in my laptop?
[07:17] <dsmith_>  "How do I upgrade to OO.org3?" right now is "You don't..... HUH?
[07:17] <jcbchadwick43> Because my Bios said that my hard drive needs to be replaced.
[07:17] <dsmith_> OO3 is easy
[07:17] <dsmith_> remove 2.6 and replace with 3
[07:17] <akorpija> rww: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-openoffice-3.0.0-on-ubuntu-8.04   should work for intrepid also im sure
[07:17] <bdelin88> that's right... guess who just auto-mounted sda2....<----this guy
[07:17] <alienseer23-eee> after doing an upgrade to 8.1 from 8.04 my desktop takes about 10 minutes to load, if it does...it may or may not have sound, and the xorg.conf file is chewed to hell aparently it hadn't ANY driver loaded for video, but when i set it to nvidia, the issue did not fix...help
[07:18] <rww> akorpija: It'll work, but it won't be part of the package database, so when it gets updated, you're SOL
[07:18] <jcbchadwick43> What type of processors do you guys have.
[07:18] <jcbchadwick43> I have to use my moms laptop/.
[07:18] <dsmith_> dual quad's :P
[07:18] <bdelin88> core 2  duo
[07:18] <alienseer23-eee> safe-mode is also not working
[07:18] <rww> dsmith_: break down "replace with 3" into steps that 1) allow updates through apt 2) are relatively user-friendly
[07:18] <gbear14275> anyone here installed pear packages?  I am getting an error message I don't understand
[07:19] <rww> !offtopic | jcbchadwick43
[07:19] <akorpija> rww: hmph oh well i can always remove/reinstall
[07:19] <jcbchadwick43> but my laptop and my moms laptop r the same.
[07:19] <LurkersA> AMD 4200+ 64bit X2
[07:19] <sam_> jcbchadwick: SpinRite grc.com
[07:19] <rww> sam_: hahahaha spinright
[07:19] <akorpija> okay and this is a dumb question but is there a faster way for me to address someone in chat then to type their entire name out? what's the shortcut?
[07:19] <dsmith_> rww: isn't in the repos..
[07:19] <jcbchadwick43> I have a Dual-Core.
[07:19] <rww> dsmith_: I believe I pointed that out already
[07:19] <gbear14275> akorpija: push tab
[07:19] <dsmith_> :)
[07:20] <jcbchadwick43> My processors are 2 Amds
[07:20] <rww> akorpija: most clients allow you to type the first few letters, then press tab
[07:20] <dsmith_> I have dual quads and one furry hamster on a treadmill
[07:20] <jcbchadwick43> what is SpinRite?
[07:20] <dsmith_> disk checker
[07:20] <dsmith_> and recovery
[07:21] <dsmith_> spinrite is awesome
[07:21] <akorpija> what if the first tab isn't right? i can't seem to cycle
[07:21] <sam_> disc recovery program
[07:21] <jcbchadwick43> But, You don't understand.
[07:21] <sam_> that's cause you didn't tell me
[07:21] <akorpija> ps im using xchat
[07:21] <gbear14275> akorpija: its client specific, for me pidgin will list the options but wont select one until i put more characters in
[07:21] <akorpija> ooh
[07:22] <bdelin88> <-pidgin
[07:22] <akorpija> gbear14275 thanks
[07:22] <clarkn0va> gbear14275: kind of like bash.
[07:22] <jcbchadwick43> My moms laptop runs ubuntu, and my OS won't even start up.
[07:22] <clarkn0va> jcbchadwick43: and it does what instead?
[07:22] <sam_> many linux users scoff at spinrite
[07:22] <jcbchadwick43> And my Bios says that I need my Hard Drive Replaced.
[07:22] <rww> jcbchadwick43: go buy a new hard drive then
[07:22] <jcbchadwick43> NO!!!!!
[07:22] <bdelin88> night ubuntu
[07:22] <sam_> jc....spinrite is probably your only hope
[07:22] <clarkn0va> jcbchadwick43: spinrite might help if there's irreplaceable stuff on there.
[07:23] <akorpija> alienseer23-eee, i had the same problem when i upgraded to 8.10 i had to downgrade, X would crash constantly and compiz definitely wasnt supported so maybe go back to 8.04 til they've released enough updates hehe
[07:23] <sam_> jcbchadwick: did your hard drive make noise before it crapped out
[07:23] <alienseer23-eee> not a real solution
[07:23] <jcbchadwick43> no.
[07:23] <jcbchadwick43> I have the recovery disks.
[07:24] <jcbchadwick43> But they don't wanna work
[07:24] <alienseer23-eee> avoiding doind a clean install would be very useful
[07:24] <jcbchadwick43> brb
[07:24] <arun_> is it possible ti run x64 software on a i686 ubuntu??
[07:24] <rww> jcbchadwick43: why do I get the feeling that those discs have Windows on them and you should be in ##windows right now?
[07:24] <rww> arun_: what processor do you have. It depends.
[07:24] <sam_> jcd: do you care about the data or config on your harddrive
[07:24] <arun_> amd athlon
[07:24] <jcbchadwick43> So does mine!!!
[07:24] <adv_> what is the pkg name for all the restricted codecs etc?
[07:25] <gbear14275> anyone have any experience with the php_beautifier package for PEAR?
[07:25] <rww> adv_: ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:25] <gbear14275> I'm getting an odd error message and am not sure what to do
[07:25] <gbear14275> Failed to download pear/php_beautifier within preferred state "stable", latest release is version 0.1.14, stability "beta", use "channel://pear.php.net/php_beautifier-0.1.14" to install

[07:25] <adv_> rww: thx
[07:25] <sam_> rww: funny I had the same feeling
[07:25] <adam7_> arun_: nope
[07:25] <clarkn0va> Anybody give me some pointers on reinstalling a multi-user system, keeping my /home partition intact? I'm thinking I just need to backup my /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow files so my user ids don't get all mixed up. What else?
[07:25] <jcbchadwick43> :-(
[07:25] <mib_4ke790> just got off the phone with IBM and he recomended I start here with trouble I am having with my att data connect card
[07:25] <rww> arun_: be more specific. There are a whole bunch of athlon processors, and only some of them support 64 bit
[07:25] <bbbthunda> I am unable to connect to a WEP encrypted wireless router with broadcom wireless adapter, sda 32 bit driver and firmware from fwcutter.  But I am able to see the networks in range and can connect to the unencrypted networks.  I'm out of ideas at this point.
[07:26] <arun_> AMD Athlon 64 3000+ running @ 2.00Ghz
[07:26] <sam_> jcb: do you care about the data, or configuration on your harddrive?
[07:26] <adam7_> arun_: you can run 32bit software on x86_64, though
[07:26] <gbear14275> anyone seen anything like that before
[07:26] <mib_4ke790> he mentioned i may need to enter terminal and update then use package manager
[07:26] <akorpija> okay so i just installed beagle but i can't seem to be able to get a menu icon for it under apps, anybody?
[07:26] <arun_> i know,is there a possibility of other way around
[07:26] <sken> hello
[07:26] <adam7_> arun_: I don't think so
[07:26] <adam7_> !who | arun_
[07:27] <sken> what's the routine check of drives in boot?
[07:27] <rww> arun_: the Athlon 64s are AMD64 arch, and therefore theoretically can run the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, I think
[07:27] <clarkn0va> rww: yes
[07:27] <mib_4ke790> data card is an ericsson f3507g
[07:27] <rww> arun_: and by "I think" i mean "I'm pretty sure but avoid AMD and therefore don't know"
[07:28] <mib_4ke790> lenovo thinkpad t500
[07:28] <jcbchadwick43> Hey akorpija, do you have an Ekiga account?
, but yeterday some1 in channnel told me that x64 software can be run on x86 version of ubuntu
[07:28] <adam7_> rww: arun_: athlon 64s can run 64bit versoin of Ubuntu
[07:28] <adam7_> arun_: I'm pretty sure it can't
[07:28] <clarkn0va> rww: but I Think the original question was amd64 software on i386 system, answer to which is "no"
[07:28] <akorpija> jcbchadwick43, no why?
[07:28] <sken> what's the routine check of drives in boot?
then all x86 can be run on a x64 host by emulation???
[07:28] <mib_4ke790> i am having to boot into vista to get online
[07:29] <clarkn0va> arun: you have to install ubuntu x86_64 if you want to run 64-bit software
[07:29] <rww> arun_: 32-bit OSes can run 32-bit software. 64-bit OSes can run 64-bit software. 64-bit Ubuntu has a compatibility layer that can run 32-bit software.
[07:29] <arun_> that's okay <rww>
[07:29] <adam7_> arun_: theortically, yes. but why don't you just run x64 and run your 32bit software from there?
[07:29] <sken> what's the routine check of drives in boot?

[07:30] <bbbthunda>  I am unable to connect to a WEP encrypted wireless router with broadcom wireless adapter, sda 32 bit driver and firmware from fwcutter.  But I am able to see the networks in range and can connect to the unencrypted networks.  I'm out of ideas at this point.  Anyone...?
[07:30] <arun_> what about repositories for software in x64(Are they present and can be updated or do we need 2 configure in S/W sources)
[07:30] <lopLi> but anyway if you are now about the fact amd is the real advanced one tough, more than u know
[07:30] <jcbchadwick43> hey arun_
[07:30] <rww> arun_: all software in Ubuntu's repositories is compiled for both 32bit and 64bit. apt-get picks the right one automagically.
[07:30] <adam7_> arun_: the repositories work the same as the i386 ones
[07:30] <mib_4ke790> is there a terminal command I could type to update package manager list
[07:30] <jcbchadwick43> r u a human or a bot
[07:30] <clarkn0va> arun: you can't upgrade from one arch to another.
[07:31] <binMonkey> bbbthunda: i used fwcutter and had nothing but trouble.  ndiswrapper works well for me.
[07:31] <clarkn0va> you have to install amd64 fresh.\
[07:31] <sam_> when you address someone, does it turn red, if you use their name in the beginning: name:, or do you have to use: name_:    ?
[07:31] <rww> mib_4ke790: sudo apt-get update
[07:31] <alex_21> So why can't I serve pages?
[07:31] <akorpija> sam_ just putting their name in should work
[07:31] <arun_> Is it possible to upgrade the existing x86 version to x64,(I have both installer CDs)
[07:31] <adam7_> sam_: if their name is "name_" then you have to type "name_"
[07:31] <ja660k> can someone help me? i need help real bad
[07:31] <clarkn0va> arun: start fresh
[07:31] <adam7_> arun_: yeah, you have to wipe the drive though, but you can keep the /home partitions
[07:31] <akorpija> sam_ like how yours has the _ hahah
[07:32] <rww> !ask | ja660k
[07:32] <bbbthunda> binMonkey: what do I need to do to use ndiswrapper?  (I think I've tried this already but at this point I can't even remember)
[07:32] <rww> arun_: upgrade? no.
[07:32] <andeer> would it at all be possible to shrink my windows partition and then move my ubuntu partition over to the left?
[07:32] <J172> alex_21: did you check the apache config/
[07:32] <arun_> Is there any way to backup the installed debian packages,etc <rww>
[07:32] <adam7_> andeer: I believe it is
[07:32] <rww> !gparted | andeer: Yes. Boot from an Ubuntu or gparted live CD and run gparted
[07:33] <ja660k> i have internal wireless lan thing, and ubuntu doesnt recognize it... when i iwconfig it only has eth0 and lo NOT wlan0 what can i do..?
[07:33] <rww> !cloning | arun_
[07:33] <J172> arun: if you have never cleared the cache maybe backup /var/caches/apt
[07:33] <andeer> coolio
[07:33] <adam7_> J172: he's switch archs, so it probably won't help
 i'll try that now
[07:33] <bbbthunda> binMonkey: do I need to remove any drivers or rollback other configurations to use it?
[07:33] <mib_4ke790> i am assuming I have to be booted into ubuntu and have a connection to accomplish this task ?
[07:33] <jcbchadwick43> arun: can I create a copy of the same version of ubuntu that I am using write now by duplicating the version in just a few minutes?
[07:34] <askvictor> ja660K: do you know what brand of wifi card it is? Is it in a laptop? what sort of laptop?
[07:34] <Doonz2> System Information for sserver1: CPU: GenuineIntel
[07:34] <J172> arun_: might not work
[07:34] <Dabbu> suppose by mistake i have deleted the default panel in kde4...i want that back..how can i do that ? any help ?
[07:34] <J172> arun_: read what adam7_ said
[07:34] <rww> J172, arun_: J172's wrong. The packages in /var/caches/apt will be for the wrong arch. Use the ubottu factoid I sent you.
[07:34] <arun_> Yeah
[07:35] <sam_> jcbchadwick43_: the fastest way would be with dd probably
[07:35] <J172> rww: just said that :P arun, I didn't see you said that, sorry.
[07:35] <adam7_> rww, J172, arun_ : there might be a few that have the all arch, but it's probably not worth your time
[07:35] <ja660k> its a compaq; and uhh its like atheros or something, i used ndiswrapepr to install the driver
[07:35] <ardchoille> sam22: the fastest wy would be with PartImage, I can clone this machine to another in under 15 minutes
[07:35] <jcbchadwick43> so is mine.
[07:35] <rww> adam7_: he has the CDs for each anyway, which have the packages, so it's even more of a waste of time
[07:35] <binMonkey> bbbthunda: hold on.  i'm trying to find the thread that helped me.
[07:35] <J172> adam7_,arun_,: just jot down the packages you have installed
[07:36] <J172> adam7_,arun_,: reinstall once you're on the new platform
[07:36] <bbbthunda> ok thanks
[07:36] <adam7_> rww: this is true
[07:36] <sam_> thanks ardchoille
[07:36] <arun_> Ok,I'm gearing up for updating my architecture,i'll be back from x64
[07:36] <rww> !cloning | arun_, J172
[07:36] <ardchoille> !sysresccd
[07:36] <J172> rww: handy, thanks
[07:36] <gbear14275> php_beautify anyone?
[07:37] <barnebie> does anybody have experience getting linux/ubuntu running on a libretto 110ct?(this is my first time here, so I hope I am not being rude)
[07:37] <mib_4ke790> well I can get online with ubuntu with wireless adapter just not my minipci att dataconnect.  is there any way I can download update while I am logged on in vista and put it on a flash drive and then update
[07:37]  * J172 cleans up his code
[07:37] <mib_4ke790> problem is I am not near my WAP
[07:38] <gomathi_389> hi all
[07:38] <rww> gbear14275: elaborate?
[07:38] <blizzardman1219> hi, i'm trying to install a .tar file and i just can't do it. I extracted it, but when i do ./configure it says that it is not a directory. help!
[07:39] <gbear14275> rww: am trying to install, and not having much luck
[07:39] <binMonkey> bbbthunda: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff#head-bc33832c0547766a33c3a84f13f971ca757b2851  this one helped me.  i'm not sure, but i think if you aptitude remove --purge fwcutter that should be enought to start with ndiswrapper.  i'm not sure, though.
[07:39] <ardchoille> blizzardman1219: which app is it?
[07:39] <gbear14275> rww: hoping someone might have some experience
[07:39] <kevin__> !usb
[07:39] <adam7_> blizzardman1219: why are you trying to install a tar file?
[07:39] <akorpija> okay if google desktop has a shortcut like double tapping CTRL to pop up the search window, what's the shortcut for Beagle?
[07:39] <rww> gbear14275: you mean the pear module, right?
[07:39] <blizzardman1219> it is a file that i can't get via synaptic, and there is no way for me to get a .deb
[07:39] <gbear14275> rww: yes, but when i try to use terminal to install it, says something about it being a beta
[07:40] <ardchoille> blizzardman1219: So you've already checked the repos? Good  job :)
[07:40] <rww> gbear14275: can you pastebin the whole output and link it to me?
[07:40] <rww> !pastebin
[07:40] <gbear14275> and to use "channel://pear.php.net..." which i have never heard of before
[07:40] <ryushe> can someone point me towards the package name for the advanced desktop effects package?
[07:40] <gbear14275> rww: yes
[07:40] <NinJaTIts> anyone know how to setup WINE so it will autorun my disc images?
[07:40] <adam7_> blizzardman1219: does the ./configure have executable permissions?
[07:40] <gbear14275> http://paste.ubuntu.com/78225/
[07:41] <blizzardman1219> adam7_: how do i tell?
[07:41] <rww> ryushe: compizconfig-settings-manager ?
[07:41] <ryushe> that's it, thanks
[07:41] <rww> blizzardman1219: chmod +x configure
[07:41] <gbear14275> rww: ever seen anything like that?
[07:41] <jcbchadwick43> sssssssssoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[07:42] <adam7_> jcbchadwick43: ?
[07:42] <blizzardman1219> rww: chmod: cannot access `configure': No such file or directory
[07:42] <adam7_> blizzardman1219: ah, then it probably doesn't exist :)
[07:42] <adam7_> blizzardman1219: are you sure you are in the proper directory?
[07:42] <ardchoille> blizzardman1219: where did you get that source tarball? I want to check it out
[07:42] <rww> blizzardman1219: did you cd into the right directory?
[07:42] <rww> gbear14275: run pear config-set preferred_state beta, first
[07:43] <gbear14275> pear config-set preferred_state beta
[07:43] <gbear14275> ?
[07:43] <rww> yeah
[07:43] <rww> gbear14275: it's complaining because PHP Beautifier's still beta software, and pear is set to not install beta software by default
[07:43] <barnebie> Ubuntu installed on laptop hd while connected to another computer--boot issues-can anybody help?(Im sorry if that is confusing)
[07:44] <blizzardman1219> adam7_ what directory would it be in? the extracted files are in my home directory but that's where i was when i typed the command
[07:44] <sam_> anyone know the download URL for systemrecoverycd?
[07:44] <NinJaTIts> Does anyone know how to install windows apps VIA wine, if they are on a disc?
[07:44] <ardchoille> !sysresccd | sam_
[07:44] <wers> how do I install this? http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~jimmac/Darkilouche/ it's git
[07:44] <gbear14275> rww: thanks!  seems to be working now
[07:44] <rww> gbear14275: awesome :)
[07:44] <blizzardman1219> ardchoille: it's a 600 MB dl that someone else is having me install, and it requires a liscense so i don't think you can check it out. it's vmware server
[07:44] <adam7_> blizzardman1219: type ls, and see if you see the name of a folder that looks like it might be where the software is, then type "cd that-folder's-name"
[07:45] <ardchoille> blizzardman1219: ah, ok
[07:45] <mib_4ke790> congratulations on the success,,,  just wish I could be so lucky
[07:45] <jcbchadwick43> yea.
[07:45] <jcbchadwick43> so what do u gys want to talk about.
[07:45] <adam7_> !ot | jcbchadwick43
[07:45] <bazhang> jcbchadwick43, do you have a support question?
[07:46] <rww> adam7_: I sent that to him 20 minutes ago. Maybe second time's the charm.
[07:46] <NinJaTIts_> hey does anyone know how to set up wine so i can instal stuff on a disc, like games?
[07:46] <blizzardman1219> adam7_: ok, i'm in the folder of the extracted file, but ./configure still doesn't work. neither does chmod +x configure
[07:46] <adam7_> rww: we sent it to him yesterday too :/
[07:46] <jcbchadwick43> Yea.
[07:46] <NinJaTIts_> howhowhowhow?

[07:48] <jcbchadwick43> Hey bazhang, r u one of those ubuntu bots?
[07:48] <mib_4ke790> dell aint what it use to be,,, lenovo is the way to go
[07:48] <Shirakawasuna> A converstion from ubuntu to xubuntu is as easy as installing xubuntu-desktop and uninstalling ubuntu-desktop, yes or no? :)
[07:48] <bullgard4> cfdisk shows the label 'Cruzer2' of my USB stick partition /dev/sdb2. But Disk mounter applet shows it with the old manufacurer's name 'SanDisk Cruzer(2)'. How can I make that Disk mounter applet also shows the label as the name of this partition?
[07:48] <Shirakawasuna> lenovo is the best
[07:48] <adam7_> blizzardman1219: where did you get the idea that you have to run ./configure
[07:48] <rww> Doonz: Discussion of potential laptop purchases is OFFTOPIC for this channel. Please take it elsewhere, like #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:48] <bazhang> no.
[07:48] <Dabbu> due to some problem in my laptop my laptop switch between AC power and Battery frequently....and i repeatedly get warning and the screen brightness changes this become annoying....how can i stop this ?
[07:48] <ardchoille> hehe
[07:49] <Doonz> really even if its sole purpose is running ubuntu
[07:49] <blizzardman1219> adam7_: that's what the ubuntu site said to do to install it
[07:49] <mib_4ke790> well obviously getting help with an att data connect card is off limits too
[07:49] <rww> Doonz: go buy one and have problems with it and come back and we'll be happy to help you fix those problems :P
[07:49] <adam7_> blizzardman1219: try running ./vmware-install.pl
[07:49] <bazhang> Doonz, please chat in ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic about your upcoming notebook purchase thanks
[07:49] <rww> mib_4ke790: not if you're having problems making it work with Ubuntu. Just probably nobody else uses it, so we don't know how to fix it.
[07:50] <adam7_> Doonz: I think there is a list of supported hardware on the ubuntu wiki
[07:50] <bazhang> !hcl | Doonz
[07:50] <barnebie> My laptop has no optical drive or network connection so I used another computer to install ubuntu to the laptop's hd, but I cannot boot--Can anyone help me out?
[07:50] <jcbchadwick43> brb
[07:50] <bbbthunda> binMonkey: yeah i found this thread and tried it already... does ndiswrapper replace the need for the fwcutter firmware?
[07:51] <rww> !usb | barnebie: not surprised that didn't work. Does the laptop have USB ports?
[07:51] <adam7_> rww: I've had pretty good luck with that technique
[07:52] <adam7_> barnebie: what error do you get?
[07:52] <barnebie> rww & ubottu: no the laptop is quite old--it cannot boot from usb
[07:52] <NinJaTIts_> How do you install games from a disc with WINE?
[07:52] <mib_4ke790> if it has usb it shoud be able to boot from it,,, maybe check the bios
[07:53] <magdale> hi all!!! can u help me? i try to install Ubuntu on my pc with Raid0 controller Nvidia. I used dmraid on decktop.amd64 version but it not work. plase help me
[07:53] <adam7_> mib_4ke790: not if it is old, it can't
[07:53] <NinJaTIts> how do you install games in WINE from a disc?
[07:53] <rww> mib_4ke790: not necessarily. A lot of BIOSes don't support it, even if they have USB ports.
[07:53] <rww> NinJaTIts: if you don't get an answer here, consider asking over in Wine's channel, #winehq
[07:53] <jcbchadwick43> What type of computer is it?
[07:53] <barnebie> adam7: I am able to boot the kernel, but regardless to what I set root to (on the line with the kernel argument) i get the error that /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda1 etc. does not exist--I hope that is somewhat informative
[07:53] <jcbchadwick43> I mean what type of Bios driver is it.
[07:53] <mib_4ke790> well maybe he needs to flash the bios
[07:54] <adam7_> barnebie: do you know about UUIDS?
[07:54] <jcbchadwick43> Is it a Pheonix?
[07:54] <bazhang> jcbchadwick43, whom are you addressing
[07:54] <LurkersA> NinJaTIts: #winehq
[07:54] <alami> hi my login screen is too big
[07:54] <NinJaTIts> k
[07:54] <wildweasel_> Hi guys, just real quick - how do I get compiz working in gOS 3.0 on Nvidia drivers? Or is this strictly an ubuntu-only channel?
[07:54] <jcbchadwick43> Anyone I can help?
[07:55] <mib_4ke790> check for a firmware update for your bios chipset and configure boot sequence
[07:55] <nintendork32> whats a good virtual machine for linux?
[07:55] <alami> and i need help to bring it to 1024*768
[07:55] <adam7_> !vm | nintendork32
[07:55] <bazhang> wildweasel_, ask in #compiz-fusion
[07:55] <LurkersA> nintendork32: VMWare
[07:55] <jcbchadwick43> Which OS?
[07:55] <barnebie> adam7: I know of them but I do not have much experience. Ubuntu automatically set up grub using UUIDs, but still ubuntu cannot find the root fs
[07:55] <magdale> me jcbchadwick43!!!
[07:55] <gomathi_369> i have downloaded a .tar file which contains software. how can i install that software in ubuntu ???
[07:55] <rww> !vm | nintendork32
[07:56] <LurkersA> nintendork32: Or Virtual box
[07:56] <alami> adam7_ can u help me
[07:56] <wildweasel_> I suggest VirtualBox; it's free and runs most distros well
[07:56] <nintendork32> ok
[07:56] <alami> qemu is eqsy and better
[07:56] <nintendork32> i need it to run windows apps that wine cannot
[07:56] <wildweasel_> qemu isn't very easy for me =P
[07:56] <LurkersA> nintendork32: Both are good though. VMWare is by far the better product IMHO
[07:56] <nephlim> wildweasel_,  pretty much ubuntu only. if your distro has a package system like apt-get or rpms, just install it and run it
[07:56] <adam7_> gomathi_369: are you sure this software isn't in the repositories?
[07:56] <alami> i need help to setup my login screan
[07:57] <alami> i need help to setup my login screen
[07:57] <rww> nephlim: gOS is based on Ubuntu Hardy
[07:57] <rww> nephlim: so I guess apt-get
[07:57] <nephlim> rww, well colour me stupid :)
[07:57] <gomathi_369> No adam7. i just downloaded it from internet ? and wondering how to install it. ???
[07:57] <barnebie> mib_4ke790 suggested to flash the bios--is this a possibel option?How would go about that
[07:57] <rww> nephlim: I didn't know either. Just looked it up when wildweasel_ first asked.
[07:57] <bazhang> gomathi_369, which software
[07:57] <wildweasel_> Yeah - I've used synaptic and add/remove both to install compiz (or what I assume is compiz) but the Appearance/Visual Effects panel won't let me enable the desktop effects...
[07:57] <rww> gomathi_369: what's the name of the program?
[07:58] <alami> i need help to setup resolution for my login screen
[07:58] <adam7_> gomathi_369: go to system -> tools -> administration, and see if the software you want to install is listed there, if it is ,just  double click it and press apply
[07:58] <rww> gomathi_369: I ask because most software is in Ubuntu's repositories, so you shouldn't need to get a .tar of it.
[07:58] <rww> !resolution | alami
[07:58] <wildweasel_> bear in mind I'm a recent windows convert and don't know much about compiling
[07:58] <nintendork32> wildweasel_, press alt+f2 and type compiz --replace
[07:58] <bazhang> wildweasel_, this is ubuntu?
[07:58] <nephlim> wildweasel_,  under my System-->Prefrences, there's an item called GL Desktop, do you have that?
[07:59] <mib_4ke790> check with the manufacturars website for the lastest firmware
[07:59] <gomathi_369> apache. i heard about this. i am new to linux.
[07:59] <wildweasel_> nephlim: checking
[07:59] <rww> bazhang: no, it's gOS >.>
[07:59] <bazhang> wildweasel_, you should check gos channel or forums
[07:59] <nephlim> wildweasel_, gnome, right?
[07:59] <wildweasel_> nephlim: yeah - but no sign of GL Desktop
[07:59] <wildweasel_> I found a "Visual Effects" tab under Appearance though
[07:59] <bazhang> wildweasel_, anyway, your problem is with compiz, and #compiz-fusion is the place to get help for that
[08:00] <bazhang> wildweasel_, Gos is not supported here sorry
[08:00] <wildweasel_> bazhang: what server is that channel on?
[08:00] <adam7_> gomathi_369: just find the apache2 package in the package manager and install it
[08:00] <rww> gomathi_369: install the apache2 package. Open a terminal and issue sudo apt-get install apache2 to do so.
[08:00] <bazhang> wildweasel_, this one; /join #compiz-fusion
[08:00] <xmehrba1> Hi, I have a problem with my graphic Intel 965, any body to help please
[08:00] <trancefat> does anybody know of a actionscript 3 editor for Ubuntu which has code hinting and completion features?
[08:00] <mib_4ke790> more than likely there is an update to your bios that will allow you to configure USB in the boot sequence
[08:00] <wildweasel_> bazhang, nephlim: thanks for putting up with me =P
[08:00] <nephlim> no problem

[08:08] <bbbthunda> ok I guess I'll have to go back to microsuck for now and try to get the wireless working later
[08:08] <alex_21> I have two interfaces now on the same lan. My network is now not letting me do much more than ping these interfaces. I just made them static and brought them into one lan. What can I do?
[08:09] <nephlim> Drizzt321, I had some trouble with xmms and audio: i had to make sure that thje app (xmms), the system, and volume control in the gmone panel all used the same thing
[08:09] <eternaljoy> NewFAQs, im so good that if I was better I would burst
[08:09] <NewFAQs> I was just wondering if someone could please remind me how to change screensaver on Ubuntu 8.10
[08:09] <j2flex> trancefat: Hi dear. flex builder  is a good choise for developing and creating RIA (Rich Internet Application)
[08:09] <NewFAQs> Thats Good :)
[08:09] <LurkersA> NewFAQs: this is a support channel; please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:09] <eternaljoy> NewFAQs, thanks :)
[08:09] <nephlim> Drizzt321, so you may want to tweek with that
[08:09] <barnebie> adam7: What were you trying to tell me about UUIDs?
[08:09] <Drizzt321> nephlim:  hm...I'll check that out. Although this is audacious, not xmms, but yea, I'll check the gnome panel
[08:09] <nephlim> Drizzt321, and under System-->Prefs-->sound
[08:09] <adam7_> barnebie: well, I was going to suggest you try them to see if it would help Ubuntu figure out where to boot from
[08:09] <j2flex> trancefat: but in flex, you don't have design environment like flash
[08:10] <NewFAQs> I need help with changing the screen saver I FORGOT where it is *laughs
[08:10] <nephlim> Drizzt321, make sure everything is the same, all alsa/oss/whatever
[08:10] <trancefat> j2flex: yes i m aware of the ria part... i just want to know if i can create a site that has library items with animations in it and write my classes and export a swf that would look like it was made from the flash ide
[08:10] <Phil_Morteja> hi
[08:10] <rww> NewFAQs: System > Preferences > Screensaver
[08:10] <eternaljoy> NewFAQs, LOL System/Pref
[08:10] <eternaljoy> !ask | rww
[08:10] <NewFAQs> And also I am wondering if there is a DOCK Like system for UBuntu as is on Mac?
[08:10] <NewFAQs> Thanks
[08:10] <rww> !botabuse | eternaljoy
[08:10] <trancefat> j2flex: basically i want to create flash sites using ubuntu
[08:10] <alienseer23-eee> how do i select a different repo mirror from terminal?
[08:10] <Drizzt321> all of them except for 'default mixer tracks' is pulse audio, and that one is currently set to alsa mixer
[08:11] <barnebie> adam7: Okay, how can a figure out the proper UUID to use?
[08:11] <Tazbobu> is there a forum for samba?
[08:11] <alex_21> Please don't design a site with flash, without knowing the risks
[08:11] <rww> alienseer23-eee: edit your sources.list file: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and change the server names in it
[08:11] <NewFAQs> Ok Thanks I like the "floating feet" screen saver.
[08:11] <adam7_> !uuid | barnebie
[08:11] <NewFAQs> Does anyone know where I can please get a DOCK like bar for the desktop?
[08:12] <j2flex> trancefat: you can use Tween class to animate display objects
[08:12] <nephlim> Drizzt321, try setting them all to pulse
[08:12] <rww> !awn | NewFAQs, try AWN
[08:12] <Phil_Morteja> i have an eeepc with an sd-card for my files, programs and so on, but i have no permissions to write something on the card. i have formated it with the partion editor. changing rights by chmod doesnt help
[08:12] <alienseer23-eee> rww: what are the defaults?
[08:12] <_axelay_> or simdock
[08:12] <Drizzt321> nephlim:  I don't see a pulse on the 'default mixer tracks' device, and I have all the rest set to pulse
[08:12] <barnebie> !uuid
[08:12] <NewFAQs> Thanks RWW
[08:13] <rww> alienseer23-eee: which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[08:13] <alienseer23-eee> 8.1
[08:13] <Drizzt321> nephlim:  in audacious, the pulseaudio output plugin doesn't has a greyed out preferences button. could it not be loading the plugin correctly? or have it missing?
[08:13] <alex_21> Did you understand what I meant about risks
[08:13] <alex_21> ?
[08:14] <nephlim> Drizzt321, just wondering, what's the reason fpr pulse over alsa?
[08:14] <mib_4ke790> little more info please newfaq
[08:14] <Drizzt321> nephlim:  thats what I ubuntu is setup to use, right?
[08:14] <alienseer23-eee> rww: intrepid
[08:14] <barnebie> adam7: because Ubuntu does not find a root fs, it drops into a built-in-shell (ash). I am unable to run the proper command to get the UUID
[08:14] <mib_4ke790> alex_21 life is full of risks
[08:15] <nephlim> Drizzt321, i use alsa and it works just fine. are you getting any sound output at all with pulse now?
[08:15] <rww> alienseer23-eee: one second please
[08:15] <j2flex> trancefat:http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilder_linux/
[08:15] <Dogers_> :D

[08:15] <TecR0c> hello, i am having networking problems with my ubuntu. it seems that i can't browse any websites. if i go into my network connections it says ifupdown (eth0) ?
[08:15] <Tazbobu> Anybody here good with ubuntu/windows networking?
[08:15] <Drizzt321> nephlim:  I get sound fine through pulse from other apps, or from the sound applet, but not from audacious
[08:15] <TecR0c> Does anyone knows how to can fix this problem it will help me out lots !
[08:16] <rww> alienseer23-eee: wait, you want the default mirror, or the default entire sources.list?
[08:16] <nephlim> Drizzt321, one sec. i'm going to install audacious to take a peek at it
[08:16] <alex_21> The reason you must never, ever, ever use flash, is that you need to have a text only version of your site easily at hand if you insist on using flash in order to make your site available to everyone on Linux/Mac using a screen reader
[08:16] <Drizzt321> nephlim:  cool, thanks. I installed all of the plugin packages
[08:16] <alienseer23-eee> mirror
[08:16] <ja660k> how can i ssh and sftp on my network...? what app do i need..?
[08:16] <alienseer23-eee> I'm so lost right now :(
[08:16] <TecR0c> Does anyone know how i can troubleshoot the networking problem.
[08:17] <rww> alex_21: oh, that's easy. http://us.archive.ubuntu.com
[08:17] <rww> alex_21: sorry, wrong person
[08:17] <rww> alienseer23-eee: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com
[08:17] <alienseer23-eee> thanks
[08:17] <alex_21> Hey, I too have a similar networking issue
[08:18] <nephlim> ja660k, you should be able to do it with a terminal
[08:18] <alienseer23-eee> <<serious duh  moment>>
[08:18] <sam_> TecR0c_ did you click on the network icon in your gnome panel?
[08:18] <rww> alex_21:  that should be "everyone on Linux/Mac using a screen reader, or too principled to use non-free stuff and too frustrated to use gnash" :D
[08:18] <mib_4ke790> tecr0c have you tried google
[08:18] <NewFAQs> Ok I downloaded the AWN WIndow Dock manager and installed it using terminal, but I can't see it in the menu bar?
[08:19] <NewFAQs> Is there soemthing I am doing wrong?
[08:19] <TecR0c> mib_4ke790 i was going to try that on my linux box but i didn't have a connection.
[08:19] <TecR0c> but no i havn't tried googling it on this machine.
[08:19] <Phil_Morteja> how can i mount a sdcard? he says: you have to be a superuser to use mount
[08:19] <ziroday> Phil_Morteja: what command are you executing?
[08:19] <Tazbobu> Anyone here suggest a tutorial for setting up a network between XP/Vista and Ubuntu? I've been trying for 6 months to network my machines and noone seems to know how.. and all the examples i've found don't work
[08:19] <barnebie> adam7: Did you see my last response?
[08:19] <rww> Phil_Morteja: put sudo before the command, or see !fstab
[08:19] <rww> !fstab | ubottu
[08:20] <unimatrix9> what would i use to easy nake gui frontends for gnome desktop?
[08:20] <rww> !fstab | Phil_Morteja, oops:
[08:20] <unimatrix9> make
[08:20] <krupa^> hey i do a bash script and i want to check  if directory  exists and if not then echo "bla" ... anyone know what is the command for it?
[08:20] <unimatrix9> what would i use to easy make gui frontends for gnome desktop?
[08:20] <Phil_Morteja> ziroday, only put the sd card in the eeepc, ne command
[08:20] <TecR0c> i don't really know what i would type to find a solution
[08:20] <mib_4ke790> tazbobu what kind of network?
[08:20] <magdale> hi all!!! can u help me? i try to install Ubuntu on my pc with Raid0 controller Nvidia. I used dmraid on decktop.amd64 version but it not work. plase help me
[08:20] <rww> krupa^: [ -x /path/to/file ] || echo "bla"
[08:21] <adam7_> barnebie: can you see the disk at all from the ash shell?
[08:21] <rww> krupa^: that's what it is for file existence, anyway. Probably the same for directories.
[08:21] <Tazbobu> mib: samba between ubuntu & one XP & one vista... the xp & vista machines see each other fine.. they also see ubuntu machine but can't access it.. ubuntu can't see anyone
[08:21] <sam_> unamatrix9_ just do an ls with the path\
[08:21] <TecR0c> i dont have the network manager icon in my panel anymore. and when i try to set the connection back to DHCP i get a updating connection failed error
[08:21] <krupa^> what is -x do? i shouldnt do ls and then?
[08:21] <mib_4ke790> wireless?
[08:21] <Tazbobu> mib: ubuntu machine also can't access other machines by IP
[08:22] <sam_> krupa^_ just do an ls with the path
[08:22] <MuZzy> i downloaded and burned the ISO of ubuntu server edition and when i restarted my computer and hit "install ubuntu" it starting saying things which are wrong with my computer, such as my usb and IO drivers, or something along the lines of that.  How do i fix this?
[08:22] <xscottx3> quick question, how do i type "|" in the terminal, usually seen between two commands on one line
[08:22] <xscottx3> ?
[08:23] <mib_4ke790> muzzy correct any problems you have in windows device manager and try again
[08:23] <ryushe> xscottx3: that's usually the shift key + the \ key
[08:23] <_axelay_> shift+backslash
[08:23] <alex_21> You need to install Somba to share between Windows and Ubuntu
[08:23] <xscottx3> ryushe: thank you for the hepl
[08:23] <alex_21> You need to install Somba to share between Windows and Ubuntu
[08:24] <ryushe> Not somba, Samba
[08:24] <MuZzy> mib, i recently reinstalled XP and i don't have my soudn drivers installed, is that the problem?
[08:24] <rww> krupa^: [ -x /path/to/file ] checks whether /path/to/file is a file that can be executed by the current user. Now that I think of it, consider replacing -x with -d ("File is a directory")
[08:24] <rww> krupa^: ls isn't The Bash Way of doing that
[08:24] <barnebie> adam7:I believe I am given some sort of makeshift fs that is not the root fs, and I do not think I can access my disk at all--how can I be sure of this
[08:24] <rww> xscottx3: shift+\ on a US keyboard
[08:24] <adam7_> barnebie: try ls /dev/{s,h}d*
[08:24] <CaMason> hi guys. I'm having trouble connecting to a linux share from windows. I've freshl installed ubuntu 8.10, and I'm trying to connect to a folder. I get the user/pass box appear, but it keeps telling me that the auth was invalid

[08:27] <Drizzt321> nephlim:  let me pastebin you some output
[08:27] <rww> adam7_, barnebie: You're using a basic console. It doesn't have all the features of bash.
[08:27] <NewFAQs> oh yes there is a thing in accesories lol
[08:27] <NewFAQs> :(
[08:27] <rww> adam7_, barnebie: including the {} and * ones

[08:28] <alex_21> Any Idea why I can't connect
[08:28] <rww> NewFAQs: no problem, "Accessories" is way too broad a term... I forget to check there too.

[08:28] <NewFAQs> yeah its ok thanks i found a icon in accesories
[08:28] <NewFAQs> lol

[08:28] <Drizzt321> nephlim:  http://pastebin.com/d5f02840e
[08:28] <NewFAQs> i know it sounds noobish
[08:29] <barnebie> rww: Ah, okay.
[08:29] <NewFAQs> Oh Also how do I INSTALL Opera?
[08:29] <ja660k> how do i quickly find the local ip of my machine
[08:29] <NewFAQs> I try to sudo apt-get install opera and it wont work
[08:29] <bazhang> !opera
[08:30] <ja660k> you can download a .deb from opera website
[08:30] <Plain> Hey guys, my sound doesn't work. Any ideas? when I use Pidgin Internet Messenger, i can hear the sound though.
[08:30] <alex_21> Hey, you are trying too hard. Don't use AWN, there is something better than that, just don't remember what?
[08:30] <nephlim> Drizzt321, hmm, not really sure. you could try the ubuntu forums. but, tell me this: does xmms work with the same file and output settings?
[08:30] <NewFAQs> Oh Ok thanks so much guys I am only 18 and a noob
[08:30] <barnebie> adam7: Suppose I try to start over. I have no optical drive, no network connection, and a floppy that can be booted into but not read by linux(becuse of hardware difficulties). What is my best option for getting linux on this baby?
[08:30] <Drizzt321> nephlim:  I don't have xmms or xmms2 installed
[08:30] <vegombrei> hi .. i have a strange problem ... if im watching something on youtube thru my browser my sound from totem doesnt work
[08:30] <Drizzt321> nephlim:  not that I am aware of, I checked to make sure
[08:31] <alex_21> There was a Youtube video on this. Lol, even blind people use Youtube, though I personally don't very much
[08:31] <rww> bazhang: do you have the ability to edit ubottu factoids? if so... the opera one mentions dapper :S
[08:31] <bazhang> !eol
[08:31] <nephlim> Drizzt321, try installing them and running the file, just to see
[08:31] <hml> anyone know how to scrable from hulu? i.e. tools like clive / youtube-dl, but for  hulu.com
[08:31] <Drizzt321> nephlim:  I'll give that a shot maybe. I need to get some sleep tho, night
[08:32] <sam_> NewFAQs_; do you know if opera is in the ubuntu official supported repositories?
[08:32] <bazhang> rww, its supported for a while yet still
[08:32] <rww> bazhang: yeah, but most people reading that factoid won't be using it :P
[08:32] <Decepticon_> how do i get apache2 to make my webserver do http://myserver.com/~username/ which on the local hdd leads to /home/username/public_html/
[08:32] <vegombrei> bazhang: would you know the reason why the sound in totem wont work if firefox is open with youtube videos ?
[08:33] <bazhang> vegombrei, totem as a music player?
[08:33] <Flannel> Decepticon_: You need to enable the userdir module (it may already be enabled) (sudo a2enmod userdir)
[08:33] <sam_> veombrei_ config file
[08:33] <rww> Decepticon_: set "UserDir public_html" in your apache config
[08:33] <alex_21> No, I don't. I can't even get Flash in Firefox. Well, flash doesn't help me anyway, but it is nice for sighted friends that use my Laptop
[08:34] <Decepticon_> cool lemme try that
[08:34] <rww> Decepticon_: wait nvm Flannel's right
[08:34] <vegombrei> bazhang: i was wating a tv show and someone sent me a link to youtube .. if i open anything that requires sound in firefox its like either or .. i have to shut the other .. but i cant pause one and listen to the other i must shut my browser window
[08:35] <NewFAQs> OK so does anyone know where you can get cool themes from for ubuntu 8.10
[08:35] <NewFAQs> !theme
[08:35] <bazhang> vegombrei, which version of ubuntu and how did you install flash (which version)
[08:35] <barnebie> adam7:Any ideas?
[08:36] <sam_> vegombrei_ default is /var/apache2/web you have to change it to/or add /home/username/public_html/
[08:36] <Flannel> sam_: That's entirely wrong.
[08:36] <hareldvd> On live CD, any idea what is root password???
[08:36]  * rww thinks we need #ubuntu-omgflashsux for support of non-free Ubuntu stuff...
[08:36] <sam_> the pathname is wrong. I don't remember
[08:36] <rww> sam_: please don't "help" people by giving them inaccurate information or telling them to google stuff
[08:36] <rww> sam_: and no, it's entirely wrong
[08:36] <Acedip> rmdir: failed to remove `/media/disk-1Docs': Directory not empty , what it means, why cant i delete it, the directory is actuallu empty
[08:36] <rww> !root | hareldvd
[08:37] <Acedip> rmdir: failed to remove `/media/disk-1/Docs': Directory not empty , what it means, why cant i delete it, the directory is actuallu empty
[08:37] <sam_> I did it with my comuter
[08:37] <Flannel> !worksforme | sam_
[08:37] <vegombrei> bazhang: 8.04 hardy and i think firefox installed flash during an update
[08:37] <vegombrei> sam_: i didnt understand could you explain what that was ?
[08:38] <rww> vegombrei: he send his wrongness to the wrong person. Ignore it.
[08:38] <alex_21> So can anyone help with my networking problem
[08:38] <naxa> hi
[08:38] <adam7_> barnebie: apart from doing what you did, not really, sorry :(
[08:38] <alex_21> I already posted about three times here and ahve no respones
[08:38] <vegombrei> rww: well is there someone who can send me awesomeness ??
[08:38] <wartalker> alex_21:whant is your problem
[08:39] <alex_21> Responses
[08:39] <rww> vegombrei: I wish I could, but I don't use flash :(
[08:39] <naxa> I've 7.10 and downloaded 8.04 and 8.10 livecd. can I upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 then 8.04 to 8.10 without burining the images to cd (i.e. mounting them only)?
[08:39] <bazhang> vegombrei, apparently installing libflashsupport helps out in some cases, the problem is no longer there in intrepid though (8.10)
[08:39] <CaMason> alex_21: it's jsually better to just ask the question
[08:39] <sam_> vegombrei_: you have to change the apache config file. I will need to do a little googling to refresh my memory, and I'll get back in a moment.
[08:40] <aeosynth> whenever i open a new application, they always 'pop under'. how do i make them 'pop up' instead?
[08:40] <rww> sam_: how about you figure out that vegombrei_ wasn't the one who asked for apache2 help, then figure out what the "userdir module" is, then figure out how to prepend your messages with peoples nicknames properly, then come back in a moment?
[08:40] <vegombrei> bazhang: my ubuntu updates all the time .. shouldnt it update to intrepid ?
[08:40] <rww> and how about I crawl back into my cave and explode with nerdrage
[08:40] <bazhang> vegombrei, not unless you specifically direct it to do so, no.
[08:40]  * rww disappears
[08:40] <NewFAQs> Hello anyone reccomend a good site or command line to getting a new theme/look please?

[08:41] <NewFAQs> i tried !theme and the links :S
[08:41] <sam_> oh, sorry.... thanks
[08:41] <trancefat> hi all... this may not be the right place to ask this but i really want to zero in on a set of core technologies in order to better myself.. i m a AS 3 and PHP developer and was wondering what shud i leran... air, flex, python, haxe etc... please guide
[08:41] <vegombrei> bazhang: oh i didnt know that ... how do i set my system to update to the latest of everything ?
[08:41] <barnebie> adam7: If I boot without a "root=" argument, the kernel panics, and says: "Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:" It does not list any partitions. I understand if you don't have a suggestion to offer. The libretto is an archaic piece of hardware.
[08:41] <ziroday`> NewFAQs: the links in !themes are very good places to start
[08:41] <Flannel> trancefat: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the correct place to ask that, not here, thanks.
[08:41] <alex_21> I have two network interfaces on a machine. Now everything was working good with one interface using dhcp outside the LAN connecting to the internet directly, and the other inside the LAN, like a good puppy, and both played nicely. Now I moed them both into the LAN, and they are not working like a lazy guide dog pair, and I can't ssh to anything now that both have static IPs
[08:41] <bazhang> vegombrei, /msg ubottu upgrade for the link/instructions
[08:41] <NewFAQs> yes but i try to install and it says not a valid package
[08:42] <NewFAQs> I found shiki themes nvm
[08:42] <trancefat> Flannel: thanks... n sorry
[08:42] <aeosynth> vegombrei: software sources, updates, release upgrade - normal releases
[08:42] <adam7_> barnebie: do you know if it uses a IDE HDD?
[08:43] <fruitmuffins> hey, anyone know of any howtos that talk about converting an existing ubuntu install to nvidia softraid, or software raid?
[08:44] <Acedip> guys need help, this is the output when i tried to remove a file , rmdir: failed to remove `/media/disk-1/Docs': Directory not empty , what it means, why cant i delete it, the directory is actuallu empty
[08:44] <rww> Acedip: rm -r /media/disk-1/Docs
[08:45] <rww> Acedip: odds are it's not actually empty and has hidden files on it. Use ls -a to see them or ctrl-h in file manager
[08:45] <Acedip> rww: sorry not a file, but a directory
[08:45] <fruitmuffins> Acedip: if you do rm -rf directory.name
[08:45] <TecR0c> how come when i restart it does not save my dual monitor configuration.
[08:45] <rww> Acedip: rm -r will remove directories
[08:45] <TecR0c> it just converts back to one.
[08:45] <alex_21> fruitmuffins I need such a tutorial but from a normal Ubuntu install with ext3, to lvm
[08:45] <fruitmuffins> Acedip: it will delete the directory and all the files in it
[08:45] <rww> Acedip: explanation: rm (ReMove) -r (Recursive (deletes directories))
[08:45] <DaveCave> good evening fellas
[08:46] <alex_21> So any answer to my networking question?
[08:46] <TecR0c> i go to into the Nviaia x server settings
[08:46] <TecR0c> and i go to setup my seperate x screen but both monitors.
[08:46] <DaveCave> Alex_21: what was your question i just joined
[08:47] <TecR0c> then i go click save but it says unable to create new x config backup file /etc/x11/xorg.conf.backup
[08:47] <rww> alex_21: generally, repeating the description of your problem is more likely to get results than repeating an appeal for help.
[08:47] <TecR0c> and then i restart and nothin happens ? =/
[08:47] <alex_21> Can someone do me the favour of Copy/Pasting my question back in here
[08:47] <alex_21> ?
[08:47] <DaveCave> TecR0c: run Nvidia-Xserver with SUDO command
[08:47] <barnebie> adam7:It is a 20gb ATA
[08:47] <alex_21> ?
[08:47] <rww> alex_21 said:  I have two network interfaces on a machine.

Now I moed them both into the LAN, and they are not working like a lazy guide dog pair, and I can't ssh to anything now that both have static IPs
[08:47] <adam7_> barnebie: make sure that hte ATA drive is compiled in the initrd image
[08:48] <Acedip> rww: rm -r directory said, can not remove : input/output error
[08:48] <DaveCave> Alex_21: why do you want both cards inside your LAN?
[08:48] <alex_21> Thanks rww
[08:48] <aeosynth> is there a way to 'dual boot' gnome and kde?
[08:49] <rww> aeosynth: install whichever out of ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop you don't already have. To switch between them, use the relevant option in your login manager (Actions menu in GDM, I forget what the KDM one is)
[08:49] <rww> Acedip: that's not good
[08:49] <rww> Acedip: cd into the directory you're trying to delete and do ls -a. Anything in there?
[08:49] <alex_21> I threw them both into the Lan because I need to firewall them off. Behind the router, 192.168.0.102, or eth1, is my mail/web server and 192.168.0.1, or eth0, is my dhcp server for my LAN
[08:49] <barnebie> adam7: So would it be a good idea to put the drive in an enviroment where it is the lone storage device and repeat the installation?
[08:50] <rww> barnebie: probably a good idea
[08:50] <DaveCave> Alex_21: try configureing your Eth1 for Localhost considering it is the same system
[08:50] <Acedip> rww: even ls -a, showed so many things but said ls:can not access ,input/output error, infront of every file
[08:50] <alex_21> How?
[08:51] <barnebie> rww: Okay then I am going to try that.
[08:51] <adam7_> barnebie: you could try that
[08:51] <DaveCave> loopback 127.0.0.1
[08:51] <alex_21> Instead of what?
[08:51] <rww> Acedip: is it your Ubuntu partition, or an external drive or something?
[08:51] <DaveCave> or use 1 network card for both
[08:51] <barnebie> adam7: Hopefully the next I am back here it will be to thank you for helping me to resurrect my libretto. Thanks!
[08:52] <Acedip> rww: external
[08:52] <DaveCave> TecR0c: did you get your Nvidia configured correctly?
[08:52] <adam7_> barnebie: good luck :)
[08:52] <alex_21> Dave, I'm sory. How do I set that up
[08:52] <[c0re]> how do i use Hotmail with evolution mail???
[08:52] <vegombrei> bazhang: upgrading
[08:52] <alex_21> I thought you had to pay to use pop3/imap from Hotmail
[08:53] <vegombrei> bazhang: thanks bro
[08:53] <DaveCave> alex_21: cant really explain that, been along time since i made a DHCP server, why dont you just use static addresses for all your computers, then you dont need a DHCP
[08:53] <bazhang> vegombrei, you're welcome
[08:53] <Shirakawasuna> could I remove evolution immediately after installing ubuntu without breaking other things?
[08:53] <rww> Acedip: issue "sudo fsck -C /media/disk-1/" (i think that was the mountpoint, right?)
[08:53] <alex_21> Because DHCP is for my Linux Thin Clients
[08:53] <Acedip> rww: yes it is..
[08:53] <rww> Acedip: I/O errors are usually a symbol of something needed fixing. fsck is FileSystem ChecKer.
[08:54] <aeosynth> gparted won't let me shrink my ntfs windows partition, i have the ntfs add-on installed, what do i do?
[08:54] <DaveCave> anyone use SLI with 8.04?
[08:54] <alex_21> Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I'm not sure what to do
[08:54] <DaveCave> sudo nvidia-xconfig --sli=Auto, is my understanding, but how would i disable it, if not working correctly
[08:55] <rww> aeosynth: elaborate on "won't let me". Any error messages?
[08:55] <DaveCave> Alex_21: why dont you go back to the way it was when it was working and start there
[08:55] <alex_21> It seems like everywhere I look is errors, erros, and more errors. I bet there is more errors than a guide dog has hairs
[08:55] <DaveCave> alex_21: u like dogs eh? lol

[08:56] <aeosynth> i saved the error details, would you like to take a look?
[08:56] <sloopy> alex_21, why are you using two different interfaces on a single machine for the same network?
[08:57] <alex_21> Because they werent two on one netwwork before
[08:57] <alex_21> One used to be outside the network
[08:57] <rww> aeosynth: try resizing it a little less (so it's a little larger). That might help
[08:57] <rww> Acedip: can you pastebin the error instead, please?
[08:57] <rww> !pastebin | Acedip
[08:57] <alex_21> Dave, Yes, I like dogs. Also, if I go back to the way things were, I would have to hard rewire everything
[08:58] <sloopy> alex_21, use only one, will make it easier
[08:58] <aeosynth> I've done that, resizing only a gig at a time, it still tells me it's too large
[08:58] <Acedip> rww: http://pastebin.com/m4ff5c661
[08:58] <alex_21> It is a lot of work, so I'll leabe that for the last resort
[08:58] <rww> aeosynth: try defragging your Windows partition
[08:58] <aeosynth> in tutorials i see people resizing 50 gigs with no problem
[08:58] <aeosynth> i can try that. anything else i should try?
[08:59] <[c0re]> rww,  * Starting internet superserver xinetd                                  [ OK ]
[08:59] <[c0re]>  now what?
[08:59] <alex_21> So how do I move all my services onto one card?
[08:59] <U-b-u-n-t-u> my login page for ubuntu 8.10 is small maybe 1/4 of the screen anyone experience this?
[08:59] <rww> Acedip: oh, yeah, huh. Okay. Issue mount to find out which /dev/ file the drive's on, then unmount the drive and issue the fsck command again with the /dev/file instead of the /media/ one
[08:59] <sloopy> alex, both are static ip´s?
[09:00] <rww> [c0re]: what?
[09:01] <[c0re]> rww,  i installed that packages
[09:01] <[c0re]> now what i have to do now?
[09:02] <alex_21> Sorry, Alex_21 here, my computer went to sleep
[09:03] <TecR0c> i am having troubles with setting up compiz. i have setup dual monitors with xinerama and seperate x screen configuration in.  my nvidia x server settings. i have enabled nvidia accelerated graphics driver 177. and then gone into appearance perferences and tried to set it to custom. but i get an error saying the composite extension is not available
[09:03] <alex_21> So how do I move all my services into one network interface?
[09:04] <Acedip> rww: sorry but i dint get the "mount /dev/file " u are talking about
[09:04] <TwstdPair> < balzac> TwstdPair: If I yelled at you for money, you'd come up with some. | < TwstdPair> balzac: if you yelled at me for money I'd probably introduce my thumb to your larynx then laugh as you choked to death on your own blood -- LULZ
[09:04] <rww> [c0re]: configure Evolution to get mail from the hotway server. Address is probably 127.0.0.1, port is probably 110
[09:04] <sloopy> disconnect one, they ´should´ just go to the other (remove the one that was on the wan)
[09:05] <rww> Acedip: sorry, I'll try to explain a bit better:
[09:05] <[c0re]> alex_21, why did you woke up your pc
[09:05] <sloopy> alex_21, what services did you have running?
[09:05] <NewFAQs> ok can someone tell me how to remove FIREFOX of ubuntu
[09:05] <NewFAQs> because in add/remove it wont work
[09:05] <NewFAQs> I just got opera and i hate firefox
[09:05] <rww> Acedip: 1. issue mount | grep /media/disk-1
[09:05] <U-b-u-n-t-u> TecR0c try #compiz-fusion
[09:06] <rww> Acedip: you should get something like "/dev/sdf3 on /media/disk-1 type blah blah blah"
[09:06] <Kinobe> who here is running a Dell Inspiron 1420?
[09:06] <wartalker> Kinobe: 1520
[09:06] <rww> Acedip: remember the first part (e.g. /dev/sdf3)
[09:06] <Acedip> rww: ya , i did
[09:06] <Acedip> okk
[09:07] <rww> Acedip: then do sudo umount /dev/sdf3 (changing the example /dev/ for yours)
[09:07] <Inman> real quick "sudo apt-get remove firefox" in a terminal
[09:07] <rww> Acedip: then do sudo fsck -C /dev/sdf3 (changing again)
[09:07] <Kinobe> wartalker : any troubles getting wifi to work fresh from an ubuntu 8.10 install?
[09:07] <rww> Acedip: the fsck line might take a while
[09:08] <wartalker> Kinobe: i use the dirver compat-wireless, it is ok
[09:08] <NewFAQs> Ummm sudo apt-get remove firefox didnt work,
[09:08] <kieko> hi, i'm experiencing (lack of) sound issues here (again); anyone help??
[09:08] <NewFAQs> It is still on the bar & in internet and works :(
[09:08] <Kinobe> wartalker: okay. I'm new to Ubuntu 8.10.... what's the "default" wifi scanner that's built in? as in, the application that scans for available hot spots, etc.
[09:09] <Acedip> rww: but dont i have to mount it first to do the fsck
[09:09] <rww> NewFAQs: sudo apt-get remove firefox firefox-3.0 firefox-3.0-branding firefox-3.0-gnome-support firefox-gnome-support ubufox
[09:09] <SanoSan> How do you get Emerald Theme Manager to be your default window decorater?
[09:09] <sloopy> NewFAQs, try doing a search in synaptic for firefox, and remove any instances there..
[09:09] <NewFAQs> LOl my wifi doesnt even work i gave up on it, even though my wifi card atheros is supported it doesnt find the hotspot
[09:09] <Acedip> rww: simply disconnect it and reconnect back ??
[09:10] <rww> Acedip: no, it doesn't need to be mounted to fsck
[09:10] <Acedip> okk
[09:10] <wartalker> Kinobe:sudo iwlist wlan0(interface) scanning
[09:11] <Kinobe> wartalker: okay let me try that
[09:11] <alex_21> I had Zimbra, Apache, LTSP, DHCPD, and that is about it
[09:11] <alex_21> I had Zimbra, Apache, LTSP, DHCPD, and that is about it
[09:12] <Acedip> rww: it said this "fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found"  "fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs for /dev/sdb5"
[09:13] <sekyourbox> Is there any programs for ubuntu, which will allow you to watch live TV streaming from the internet, for free?
[09:13] <Acedip> rww: or rather take a look here http://pastebin.com/m1aa7bf92
[09:13] <kieko> i'm getting 'Problem with Audio Playback' when attempting Skype
[09:13] <kieko> hi, i'm experiencing (lack of) sound issues here (again); anyone help??
[09:13] <scientes> how can i make the vnc server use pam?
[09:14] <leonbrussels> kieko: I've got that too. Just go to the skype settings, click sound devices and try them alll out with the test call, one of them normally works
[09:14] <leonbrussels> kieko: But "Default device" didn't work for me either
[09:15] <rww> Acedip: oh, it's NTFS? meh. give me a minute.
[09:15] <kieko> leonbrussels, that is a solution that worked last time... 'hdmi' was the working solution infact; but this time its is not working nor the others ??? :/
[09:15] <BoltClock> when i install windows xp on one disk and then ubuntu on another is there any overwrite taking place after installing ubuntu?
[09:16] <BoltClock> thats my current dualboot setup
[09:16] <Acedip> rww: ya i had did that with gparted, wanted it to work on friend's winodws machine
[09:16] <echolist> huy
[09:16] <echolist> i have trouble with squidguard
[09:16] <leonbrussels> kieko: Did you try the "pulse" device? Maybe that works? Can you get audio input in other applications?
[09:17] <kieko> leonbrussels, oh, yea, sound works everywhere else... I'd rather not switch to pulseaudio; that was a source of problems in the past; I have everything to Alsa
[09:17] <leonbrussels> BoltClock: As far as I know ubuntu doesn't touch your XP installation
[09:17] <rww> Acedip: do you happen to have a Windows machine nearby? If so, you could plug it in and scandisk it
[09:18] <Acedip> rww: no i dont have
[09:18] <rww> Acedip: if not, I'll go figure out where the heck the ntfs people are hiding their filesystem checked, but Windows would probably be easier
[09:18] <rww> Acedip: k
[09:18] <Kinobe> wardriver: looking good, thanks for that. Is there a GUI version for Gnome?
[09:18] <leonbrussels> kieko: Sorry, no idea then :(
[09:18] <BoltClock> leonbrussels: im planning to split my windows disk and dump vista in a new partition, completely away from my ubuntu disk. will grub still be affected?
[09:18] <kieko> leonbrussels, nvm :(
[09:19] <kieko> leonbrussels, in Skype options i did set to pulse to try and at last i got the incoming voice on 'test call' but didn't record my voice... Really annoying that skype is so flakey for me on ubuntu
[09:20] <rww> Acedip: okay. *sigh* issue sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs, then do sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb5
[09:20] <leonbrussels> BoltClock: Yeah. vista will overwrite your grub with its own bootloader. What you want to do is reinstall GRUB after installing Vista
[09:21] <Acedip> rww: okk..doing that
[09:21] <BoltClock> leonbrussels: reinstall grub over my windows disk MBR?
[09:21] <rww> Acedip: sorry this is so convoluted. NTFS support in Ubuntu is problematic sometimes =(
[09:21] <alex_21> So what about my network
[09:21] <alex_21> ?
[09:21] <BoltClock> thats what i read
[09:21] <Acedip> rww: is it easy on some other distros ??
[09:22] <rww> Acedip: not really, no
[09:22] <alex_21> I am panicking here
[09:22] <Acedip> :)
[09:22] <rww> Acedip: Linux in generally has only had good ntfs support for a few years now
[09:22] <rww> Acedip: before that, you couldn't even write to it
[09:23] <alex_21> Help, Help, Help!
[09:23] <Acedip> rww:  woof
[09:23] <thefawk> what's wrong with your network alex?
[09:23] <leonbrussels> BoltClock: Oh sorry, I didn't read correctly, you have got two physically seperated disks. In that case I think your Vista install will leave the ubuntu disk untouched.
[09:24] <napster> I need help please
[09:24] <leonbrussels> BoltClock: But you will still have to reconfigure GRUB to boot Vista
[09:24] <BoltClock> leonbrussels: by editing menu.lst?
[09:24] <leonbrussels> yep
[09:24] <BoltClock> i should still be able to boot xp from grub just fine right?
[09:24] <thefawk> boltclock you will actually have to fix grub
[09:24] <sloopy> alex_21, is the static ip set correctly on the lan connect card?
[09:24] <Acedip> rww: sigh..it said proceeded successfully..now
[09:25] <thefawk> Read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html
[09:25] <napster> my update manager and add/remove manager are not working
[09:25] <rww> Acedip: the check didn't show any errors?
[09:25] <Acedip> rww: noo
[09:25] <napster> yes they are
[09:26] <thefawk> napster use your console and type "sudo updatemanager"
[09:26] <BoltClock> thefawk: fix?
[09:26] <thefawk> and let us know what error does it display
[09:26] <leonbrussels> BoltClock: Make sure you install Vista on a partition after the XP partition. XP's bootloader loads its files based on partition number, so if it used to be on partition one and suddenly it is on partition 2 becuase you installed vista on partition 1 you will also have to fix up the XP bootloader
[09:26] <Danny-The-Great> Hello everybody
[09:27] <alex_21> sloopy The two cards are on the network, and I think they are. I get a "No ... something, ... process" error when using /etc/init.d/networking restart. I have replaced the name with something because I can't read it
[09:27] <Danny-The-Great> i have a problem after installing ubuntu
[09:27] <Danny-The-Great> can someone help?
[09:27] <rww> Acedip: meh. Okay. remount it (unplug it and plug it back in I guess?) and try doing the deletion again
[09:27] <l43a2> danny the great u read the online help etc
[09:27] <rww> !ask | Danny-The-Great
[09:27] <Danny-The-Great> aha
[09:27] <Danny-The-Great> ok
[09:27] <sloopy> alex_21, get the output from a network restart in a pastebin
[09:28] <scientes> how can i make the vnc server use pam?
[09:28] <alex_21> I can't even get the output for myself, let alone for the pastebin
[09:29] <leonbrussels> BoltClock: I'm off now but I think you should be good to go with installing vista on your XP disk partition 2 and reconfiguring GRUB to boot the vista partition (should be the same as the XP entry, except you have to change hd(x,1) to hd(x, 2))
[09:29] <alex_21> Sloopy I don't know how to do so with Orca. I am very new to all this
[09:29] <BoltClock> leonbrussels: hmm ok
[09:29] <Danny-The-Great> well i got 2 hard disk drives on my pc..i have installed windows xp on the first one and ubuntu on the other one,but after installing ubuntu either windows xp or ubuntu cannot recognize the hdd i installed ubuntu in.can someone help?thanks
[09:29] <Acedip> rww: again it said no errors..
[09:30] <scientes> -how can i make sudo ask for a second password, thats not roots password to become root?
[09:30] <rww> Acedip: no, I meant try deleting that folder again, not doing the ntfs check again
[09:30] <rww> scientes: umm. You don't have a sudo password. Sudo's asking for your user account's password.
[09:30] <scientes> yes but i want a sudo password
[09:30] <chakoshi> can any one help me on automatic installation ( network boot+ preseeding) ?
[09:30] <scientes> i can make it ask for a users password but then it runs at that user

[09:31] <sloopy> alex_21, well cant help with ´No ... something... process' doesnt give much to go on...
[09:31] <rww> scientes: what? If you run sudo, it'll ask for your password. If you make another user account and authorize it for sudo, and it runs sudo, sudo will ask for that user's password
[09:31] <Acedip> rww: again the same input/output errora
[09:31] <Acedip> rww: how about this command "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/whatever /whereever/ -o force"
[09:31] <scientes> rww you dont get what i want
[09:32] <alex_21> Oh my goodness, why oh why did I not ever learn orCA
[09:32] <alex_21> Grr, What can I do?
[09:32] <chakoshi> hi, any help on preseeding? I have a problem
[09:32] <scientes> rww its mainly because ubuntu unlike other distro takes away power to control samba passwords seperately, they must have moneky patched it
[09:33] <Acedip> rww: the command is something about resetting the log ???
[09:33] <alex_21> How can I read it without Orca?
[09:33] <rww> scientes: what you want is for your samba password to be different from your sudo password. Go make another user and assign the shares to them then use that for samba.
[09:33] <sloopy> alex_21, a copy of what network says when it restarts would be a good way to start
[09:33] <Flannel> scientes: samba passwords are separate than your user passwords.
[09:33] <scientes> thats bs rww, that only fixes a single problem, having a diffent password for root access fixes many more
[09:34] <scientes> and doesnt require constant upkeep
[09:34] <rww> scientes: no it doesn't
[09:34] <alex_21> But how do you get that to read with Orca?
[09:34] <napster> Help please..........
[09:34] <scientes> Flannel, not in intrepid
[09:34] <scientes> Flannel, and change the smd.cnf setting doesnt do anything
[09:34] <rww> Acedip: don't think it'd help, but you're welcome to try it. I'm kinda running out of ideas.
[09:35] <Flannel> scientes: I suppose that may be the case.  It also could be a bug.  Have you looked into it?
[09:35] <sloopy> alex_21, dont know, i am hearing not sight impaired so i am not knowledgable in such things...
[09:35] <Acedip> rww: but i dint get the /whereever part of it ??
[09:35] <alex_21> Orca Help, please, anyone!
[09:35] <scientes> whenever i submit bugs i get a template "invalid' response no matter how much information i include, so i stopped submitting bugs to ubuntu'
[09:36] <Flannel> scientes: Invalid generally has nothing to do with how much information you give, but instead whether or not what you've submitted is a bug.
[09:36] <alex_21> Doesn't anyone here know how to use Orca?
[09:36] <alex_21> Basics with Terminal will do
[09:36] <rww> Acedip: first one should be /dev/sdb5. Second one should be a directory to mount it at. if /media/disk-1 still exists, use that
[09:37] <scientes> Flannel, no incomplete sorry
[09:37] <scientes> Flannel, i state my problems in full they just dont want to listen to them
[09:37] <Acedip> rww: first i umount it or just fire up the command as it is
[09:37] <alex_21> O R C A?
[09:38] <NicEXE> ta Ubuntu anagnorizun serial mouse?
[09:38] <Flannel> scientes: I know for a fact that that's not how bug triage works in general.  While it is possible you've had bad luck, I'm not sure I'd subscribe to that either.
[09:38] <rww> scientes: yes, the ubuntu bug people deliberately ignore bug reports from you, despite putting out calls for bug reports on a frequent basis, because they secretly don't want bug reports
[09:39] <NicEXE> does Ubuntu supports serial mouse?
[09:39] <rww> rww: You'd unmount it first, since that's a mount command, and you can't mount stuff that's currently mounted :)
[09:39] <alex_21> ORCA, Amnyone, I beg you?
[09:39] <scientes> prety much :) but seriously when i submit bug reports to other project i get a response, so far in ubuntu ive only gotten template responses
[09:39] <ardchoille> alex_21: Have you tried posting your question on ubuntu forums?
[09:39] <alex_21> Anyone?
[09:40] <lodder> How can I limited ubuntu to only use and see 1 cpu
[09:40] <alex_21> No, because the forums don't work well with Voiceover
[09:41] <alex_21> Oh, why oh why is accessibility so low of a priority
[09:41] <rww> Acedip: but yeah, I'm out of ideas. Only thing I can suggest is finding a Microsoft Windows computer (since ntfs is /their/ standard, anyway) and doing a disk check there and trying to delete the directory from there.
[09:41] <NicEXE> does Ubuntu support serial mouse?
[09:41] <l43a2> try it
[09:41] <l43a2> ^
[09:41] <rww> Acedip: sorry I couldn't be of more help :(
[09:41] <sloopy> alex_21, it isnt a low priority, there is a limited amount of resources...
[09:41] <thefawk> yes nicEXE
[09:41] <rww> NicEXE: probably, I know the Linux kernel does.
[09:41] <alienseer23-eee> intrepid upgrade: fail
[09:42] <Phoenix87> re
[09:42] <alex_21> You guys say that Ubuntu is the most accessible OS, and yet no one except a very small small number of people in teh community have the knowledge
[09:42] <rww> alex_21: that's probably because about 95% of Ubuntu users don't need accessibility tools.
[09:43] <Acedip> okk
[09:43] <alienseer23-eee> alex_21: that statement is viable for nearly every fascet of advanced human knowledge
[09:43] <rww> alex_21: what was it you were trying to do from terminal? maybe there's a workaround?
[09:43] <ardchoille> alex_21: Please be patient, none of us knows everything there is to know about Ubuntu.
[09:43] <sloopy> alex_21, also a very small percentage of ubuntu users/knowledgeable use irc also
[09:43] <chfwiggum> gd morning all!
[09:43] <NightVisio> hi
[09:43] <NightVisio> just formatted EXT3 partition... "Used: 10GB" - wtf?
[09:44] <NightVisio> formatted by gparted
[09:44] <alex_21> Yeah, but with VIP Ubuntu on the rise we should se a change in those numbers. Sloopy The accessibility is not always such because of resources. Apple has come quick and cleanly into the accessiblity market, and they don't market to access users alone
[09:44] <lodder> Please help I get this message in syslog: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 11s! I have tried everything and I keeps getting the message the only thing I haven't tried is reducing the amount of cpu's but how do I do that?
[09:44] <rww> NightVisio: some of your partition space is used up in partition information and records. This is the case in all OSes. For large harddrives, 10GB isn't surprising.
[09:44] <NightVisio> hmm
[09:44] <NightVisio> I'll keep in mind, thanks
[09:44] <repsol_> Hey does anybody understand the wlan0 wlan1 stuff?
[09:45] <ardchoille> NightVisio: also, ext3 has journaling, that takes up hd psace too
[09:45] <alex_21> I am trying to read a line of output from a command in Terminal
[09:45] <tat-> NightVisio: 5% reserved for system users
[09:45] <GiggleSquirts> hey guys, where do all the cool kids get their P2P on these days?
[09:45] <NightVisio> yeaj
[09:45] <NightVisio> yeah*
[09:45] <sloopy> alex_21, they also pick and choose their developers, so they can get a good cross section of knowledgeable people in many different fields, where as linux uses volunteers, who if there is a specific field no one volunteers for they will be lacking...
[09:46] <chfwiggum> anybody here who knows about debugging in general, who knows some good sources to get familiar with the basics how to do it and what to do? :) im looking for introducing material . tia
[09:46] <tat-> NightVisio: you can tune it with e2fsadm, but you dont want to turn it off
[09:46] <ardchoille> GiggleSquirts: I don't think p2p is discussed here
[09:46] <repsol_> The last two kernel updates have broken my wireless
[09:46] <repsol_> I am scared to install or upgrade intrepid on my crap ass lappy
[09:46] <repsol_> Hardy is working but only in the 24-19 kernel
[09:46] <rww> !p2p | GiggleSquirts
[09:46] <repsol_> anything newer breaks my wifi
[09:46] <rww> !bittorrent | GiggleSquirts: for values of "cool" including me
[09:46] <gandalfcome> I upgraded to intrepid from feisty, the upgrade crashed in the middle. Now when linux starts up it somehow mounts the filesystem as readonly and so I can't check var log messages whats up. ANy ideas?
[09:46] <alex_21> Oh, as I said VIP Ubuntu will change a lot of that
[09:46] <GiggleSquirts> thanks!
[09:47] <alex_21> Does anyone know how to get a project listed as an official Ubuntu fork
[09:47] <alex_21> ?
[09:47] <nnull> guys ive got a 128megram p3 600, wanna install linux on it but it only needs to be able to use openoffice, and browse the net... was thinking maybe to setup some kind of terminal server on another box that it can login to? or? anyone give me suggestions?
[09:47] <NightVisio> whatever, 10GB of 220GB is not so many... ;-)
[09:47] <tat-> NightVisio: true that
[09:48] <repsol_> nnull, tsclient works great for vnc session especially if you are on the same network
[09:48] <AussieGuy> if you have a server with 4 IP addresses, is it possible to make any program use say the one on eth2?
[09:48] <nnull> repsol_¬ indeed, but do you think that the machine will handle gnome x + vnc streaming? :s
[09:48] <alex_21> Any work arounds for Terminal then with Orca
[09:49] <sloopy> nnull, i use a similar setup (with 256meg of ram) on my laptop and ubuntu runs fine... a little slow but fine
[09:49] <rww> nnull: maybe set up a thin client? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall
[09:49] <sloopy> AussieGuy, depends on the program in question...
[09:49] <rww> nnull: although for just one computer, probably just VNC would be easier
[09:50] <AussieGuy> I know with SOCKS theres a program called socksify that forces any program to use a certain socks server for all of its internet
[09:50] <alex_21> Please, if anyone comes up with a suggestion, my E-mail is asquared21@gmail.com
[09:50] <AussieGuy> I wonder if theres something like that
[09:50] <alex_21> Good night
[09:51] <repsol_> nnull, yes if you are on the same network
[09:51] <nick92> ciao
[09:52] <NewFAQs> Anyone know of a good MSN?

[09:53] <sloopy> work is done, time to go home :´)
[09:53] <repsol_> NewFAQs, I like amsn myself
[09:53] <ziroday`> NewFAQs: pidgin can handle msn, other clients include AMSN and Empathy. Ask bestbot in #ubuntu-bots for peoples thoughts
[09:54] <repsol_> I have found pidgin to work but has less features than amsn
[09:54] <gandalfcome> anyone else got the root fs mounted as ro, after upgrade?
[09:54] <NewFAQs> Where or how to install Empathy?
[09:54] <NewFAQs> Or AMSN
[09:54] <docv266> hi
[09:55] <NewFAQs> sudo apt-get install empathy?
[09:55] <Ahadiel> NewFAQs, sudo apt-get install amsn empathy

[10:01] <Flannel> rww: ^
[10:02] <ompaul> !timebasedreleases
[10:02] <yao_ziyuan> kde 4.2 beta is in backport

[10:04] <EvL_Gamer> Looking for a simple way to access a windows shared folder.
[10:05] <yao_ziyuan> rww: the problem for gnome is it lacks a good default theme
[10:05] <coenieolivier> evl gamer: go to System, Admin, and select Sharing
[10:06] <Flannel> yao_ziyuan: Mind taking this to #ubuntu-offtopic? its not really a support conversation anymore
[10:06] <coenieolivier> enable sharing or easily simply go to add/remove and install ntfs and samba sharing from there
[10:06] <EvL_Gamer> coenieolivier: i dont see a sharing option under system - admin
[10:06] <EvL_Gamer> coenieolivier: i have the smbclient package installed if that is what you mean
[10:07] <coenieolivier> mmm - okay - try right clicking on the folder you want to share
[10:07] <chfwiggum> coenieolivier: not sharing just opening - i guess
[10:07] <EvL_Gamer> coenieolivier: no, the folder is already being shared on a windows xp machine, i am on my laptop running ubuntu 8.10 and want to access it
[10:07] <coenieolivier> when you right click there should be a sharing options menur or something like that
[10:08] <coenieolivier> okay... have you gone into "Network"
[10:08] <coenieolivier> is there anything listed there?
[10:09] <EvL_Gamer> coenieolivier: checking...
[10:09] <EvL_Gamer> coenieolivier: no nothing is listed, i can browse the workgroup, but i see no shares
[10:10] <_adrenaline> Why does my networking try and start wlan1 when I don't have one?
[10:11] <coenieolivier> evl_gamer: have you shared any folders on ubuntu? and can you access them from win xp?
[10:12] <chfwiggum> _adrenaline: dont know, but try iwconfig in console
[10:12] <tzengenis> guys what program can i use to download mp3 ?

[10:14] <freakabcd> hi all
[10:14] <rww> ( actually I think I did... been seeding Fedora 10 this week... anyways, I should stop letting my offtopic out of #ubuntu-offtopic...)
[10:14] <freakabcd> I upgraded to intrepid and my external display doesn;t work properly anymore :(
[10:14] <freakabcd> intel 855gm laptop, external display is viewsonic 2235wm.
[10:15] <freakabcd> worked fine with a 'virtual 2960 1050' line in xorg.conf in hardy
[10:15] <freakabcd> not all i see are 'underrun on pipe A!' and 'underrun on pipe B!' messages on Xorg.0.log with the virtual line
[10:16] <freakabcd> without the virtual line, it lets me choose a pathetic resolution on the external display

[10:35] <kCx8> Hi, guys.
[10:35] <kCx8> Somebody knows if TVTime run on enutv-2 in etch?
[10:35] <ziroday`> _Hypnos: well nautilus can scan/connect to samba shares
[10:36] <ziroday`> _Hypnos: also take a look at pyneighbourhood, pcmanfm and thunar. They all have support for scanning/connecting to samba shares
[10:36] <rww> kCx8: etch is debian. try #debian on server irc.debian.org
[10:36] <_Hypnos> ok, thanks ziroday
[10:37] <freakabcd> Can someone help me build/install the xorg-video-intel package/driver from Hardy onto my Intrepid install?
[10:37] <TecR0c> what is the best terminal ? xterm ?
[10:37] <kCx8> Yep, sorry. Paste & copy. I try Intrepid or Hardy.

[10:41] <_Hypnos> another question, does anybody have a hint for me where to search for connecting linux to a osx share (not using samba or nfs)
[10:41] <ziroday`> _Hypnos: an OS X share?
[10:41] <_Hypnos> yes
[10:41] <ziroday`> _Hypnos: what protocol is that?
[10:41] <Tekno> use samba
[10:41] <_Hypnos> that's what i am also not sure about....
[10:42] <_Hypnos> i cant change the "server"
[10:42] <ziroday`> _Hypnos: can you access it on your windows machine?
[10:42] <_Hypnos> ziroday, hmm no..
[10:42] <_Hypnos> because that would involve samba
[10:43] <ziroday`> _Hypnos: then it most likely NFS
[10:43] <_Hypnos> i know about appletalk, but im not sure if that is still used on leopard. but othervise i'll continue my search
[10:44] <jpnurmi> how do i install kde3 versions of kate, konsole, kile etc. in ubuntu intrepid?
[10:44] <ziroday`> jpnurmi: I don't believe you can. Ask in #kubuntu
[10:44] <ziroday`> _Hypnos: it is most likely a NFS share...
[10:45] <jpnurmi> ziroday`: alright
[10:45] <samphippen> ikonia, you remeber I was having monitor issues, do you think if I got a new monitor it would resolve?

[10:56] <rio> what is the recommended way to install OOo 3 on intrepid?
[10:56] <ChrisW> rww: thanks
[10:56] <ziroday`> Mal3ko: useradd testuser -p testuser123 iirc
[10:57] <ChrisW> how do I make shells under nautilus behave like putty w.r.t. copy and paste? (ie@ select copies and right click pastes?)
[10:57] <ziroday`> rio: using the openoffice scribblers PPA, however currently its not working
[10:57] <shams> how can i remove a package with all related files?
[10:57] <rio> ziroday`: not a very good recommendation :P thanks
[10:57] <rww> shells under nautilus... you mean gnome-terminals?
[10:58] <ziroday`> shams: sudo apt-get purge <packagename> perhaps?
[10:58] <rww> you can't as far as I know. select --> middle click should work, though, since g-t is an X11 app.
[10:58] <ziroday`> rio: the other way is to download the .deb files from openoffce.org and install them manually. But that is not recommended either. Best idea is to wait for jaunty
[10:59] <shams> ziroday`: if i doing it, after reinstalling application all configuration exists?
[10:59] <ziroday`> shams: no, it will have been removed
[10:59] <rio> ziroday`: april 09 :(
[10:59] <ziroday`> rio: is there any feature you really need from openoffice 3?
[11:00] <rio> i don't think so
[11:00] <rww> Anyone know whether/when OO.org 3 is gonna hit backports? Just out of curiosity...
[11:00] <ziroday`> rio: then I strongly recommend you wait.
[11:00] <ziroday`> rww: AFAIK, never
[11:00] <rio> okay
[11:00] <Flannel> rww: Should be sometime soon.  Its in a PPA and will be back in that PPA sometime next week.
[11:01] <ziroday`> rww: but then I don't know much :)
[11:01] <Mal3ko> ziroday: thanks..then how do i make the acc can use ssh?
[11:02] <ziroday`> Mal3ko: if you have openssh-server installed then you should be able to login with that users username and password already
[11:03] <prabu> who answerd me
[11:03] <oskar-> sata, see http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#LEGAL1 ; maybe it was disabled because of this
[11:03] <ChrisW> rww: any reason you can't just install from source for now?
[11:03] <prabu> who answered me
[11:03] <ChrisW> rww: yes, gnome terminals
[11:03] <rww> prabu: nobody, since you didn't ask an understandable question
[11:04] <scientes> how can i turn on xdmcp connections in gdm via the command line?
[11:04] <ChrisW> and shift-middle click I hate, given that I have a 3 button mouse
[11:04] <Flannel> ChrisW: Installing from a deb is a lot nicer, and if he absolutely needed it, he could use the debs from OOo
[11:04] <ChrisW> Flannel: true on the latter ;-)
[11:04] <sata> oskar-, thanx.
[11:04] <prabu> rww: no, one guy answered me, his name starts with 'g', our conv scrolled up
[11:04] <ziroday`> scientes: you need to edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[11:06] <shams> ziroday`: i should type this command? apt-get remove --purge postfix
[11:06] <HiSPeed> hi, how can you get administrator privileges when running eg. a perl script? (i.e. i want the window to open up that asks the user for the admin password instead of getting "failed to obtain administrator privileges")
[11:06] <Mal3ko> howcome when we use sudo, ubuntu asks for user's passwed, rather than root passowrd?
[11:06] <ziroday`> shams: try sudo apt-get purge postfix
[11:06] <oskar-> HiSPeed, put sudo in front of the command
[11:06] <ziroday`> Mal3ko: there is no root user, so yes
[11:07] <Mal3ko> oh so i need to create a root user?
[11:07] <ziroday`> HiSPeed: gksudo <command>
[11:07] <ziroday`> Mal3ko: no.
[11:07] <ziroday`> !root > Mal3ko
[11:07] <shams> ziroday`: it says: Invalid operation purge
[11:08] <ziroday`> shams: which version of ubuntu?
[11:08] <rww> prabu: you connected to freenode at 2:08am Pacific. You spoke in channel for the first time at 2:54am Pacific. since then, nobody else has answered, and nobody with a name starting with g has spoken in channel.
[11:09] <HiSPeed> oskar-, ziroday`: i m talking about the script, not about what the user is supposed to add ;)
[11:10] <Mal3ko> ziroday: i was centos user before so i may not be familiar enough with how ubuntu works..when i try to install new package in centos, i would need to know root password be able to do tha but in ubuntu, i just need to enter my own user's pass..
[11:10] <[c0re]> !Sphinx
[11:10] <HiSPeed> when i run truecrypt from the commandline, tc asks for admin privileges and you get the prompt.. when you do the same without a DISPLAY setting, it doesnt, despite it being the same user and being called from the exactly same env
[11:10] <ardchoille> How do I hide joins/parts/quits in xchat?
[11:10] <[c0re]> !sphinx-4
[11:10] <HiSPeed> or is the "prompt user for pass" thing a gui-only thing?
[11:11] <Mal3ko> im going to give someone ssh access to my server but i dont want him to install or use root access..
[11:12] <dmay> Mal3ko: man sudoers
[11:12] <dmay> you can setup available commands per user
[11:13] <ziroday`> HiSPeed: sorry, can you rephrase your question?
[11:13] <Flannel> Mal3ko: For ssh access, they don't need to be an admin at all, just a regular user.
[11:13] <Flannel> Mal3ko: Just make sure they aren't part of the "admin" group, and they won't be able to use sudo.
[11:13] <Mal3ko> how do i do that?
[11:14] <Mal3ko> set a new group for their user acc?
[11:14] <ziroday`> HiSPeed: to prompt a user for password on the commandline, use sudo. To do so graphically use gksudo
[11:14] <Flannel> Mal3ko: Their user account probably isn't an admin account already (unless you've set it to be so) you can verify by this: `groups username` where username is their username.  Is "admin" listed?
[11:15] <sonoblaise> is it possible to install Lilo and the realtime kernel easily with ubuntu??  i mean without reformatting?
[11:15] <HiSPeed> ziroday`, so why dont i need sudo when i start truecrypt as the user from the very same commandline? there must be some other, more userfriendly way
[11:15] <ziroday`> HiSPeed: because inside truecrypt it checks to see if you are root or not and does sudo if you are ont
[11:15] <rww> HiSPeed: sudo "remembers" that you authenticated for a little while. Could that be it?
[11:15] <aeosynth> where should I go to learn how to slim down ubuntu to make it faster?
[11:15] <HiSPeed> rww, nah it s actually asking via gui ;)
[11:16] <HiSPeed> ziroday`, well so it should do the same when being run from a script
[11:16] <HiSPeed> and it tells me that it failed to obtain admin privs
[11:16] <HiSPeed> so how can you allow it to try to obtain the privs from within a script too?
[11:16] <ziroday`> HiSPeed: you are executing truecrypt from a script?
[11:16] <HiSPeed> not all linux is ubuntu
[11:16] <rww> it's a truescriptscript!
[11:16] <rww> truecryptscript!
[11:17] <sonoblaise> HiSPeed: this was for me??
[11:17] <_nmap> im trying to start a dhcpd3 server in ubuntu server but im getting this error: Can't create PID file /var/run/dhcpd.pid: Permission denied. I'm trying to start has root.
[11:17] <HiSPeed> ziroday`, ye.. a little tc bruteforce script to give the user some mileage with tons of hdds ;)
[11:17] <ziroday`> HiSPeed: then in your script do sudo truecrypt instead of just truecrypt
[11:17] <Mal3ko> Flannel: yes..i see "admin"..
[11:18] <Mal3ko> how to remove it?
[11:18] <HiSPeed> ziroday`, again not all linux is ubuntu and besides ubuntu has enough ideas in it already to let me circumvent this userunfriendly bit ;)
[11:18] <Guest59572> i just installed ubuntu 8.10, and it's crashing almost immediately after i log in, this started happening after i enabled desktop effects and i think that this is what is causing it. how can i disable desktop effects in terminal? or any other ideas?
[11:18] <HiSPeed> ah well i ll probably just make this script root-only.. sudoing a million times in a row on a non ubuntu isnt a real option
[11:19] <ziroday`> HiSPeed: I am sorry, I am completely lost. From what I understand you are creating a script which executes truecrypt, however truecrypt wants to be run as root so I said do sudo truecrypt. What is the issue now?
[11:19] <NicEXE> how can I ePSXe to my 64 bit Ubuntu?
[11:19] <NicEXE> *install
[11:19] <erythrocyte> hi, can anyone here tell me if the latest knoppix contains the much publicized SSL vulnerability from Debian? or has it been fixed?
[11:19] <ziroday`> erythrocyte: ask the knoppix devs, this is for ubuntu support
[11:20] <steph33560> Rehllo
[11:20] <HiSPeed> and the most annoying thing is, that i still get a prompt by tc through the perl script via the DISPLAY .. despite me asking it to be --non-interactive
[11:20] <rww> erythrocyte: join #knoppix on this server
[11:20] <steph33560> j'avais oublié de chercher un truc ici ...
[11:20] <rww> erythrocyte: and ask there
[11:20] <rww> !fr | steph33560
[11:20] <steph33560> oups :p
[11:20] <HiSPeed> ziroday` the issue is that i want to use ubuntu's mechanisms when available and not when not ,)
[11:20] <NicEXE> how can I install ePSXe to my 64 bit Ubuntu?
[11:20] <poisonkiller> This morning I booted up my computer, and now, instead of normal sound, there is this clicking sound. How can I fix this? I tried reinstalling ALSA.
[11:21] <HiSPeed> ziroday`, this means, save the user having to remember to do sudo.. sudo'ing in the script is a definite no-go for about any *n*x system other than ubuntu ;)
[11:21] <sonoblaise> poisonkiller: Try to change the buffer size in the audio configuration
[11:22] <erythrocyte> poisonkiller: have you tried setting the PCM level to <= 80% ?
[11:22] <ziroday`> HiSPeed: then in your script check if the user is running ubuntu, if yes use the sudo version. If not use the other version
[11:22] <HiSPeed> i mean, come on, ubuntu gives me the admin prompt when running `truecrypt` but it doesnt do so when running `truecrypt` from within the script on that very same console as that very same user
[11:22] <HiSPeed> it doesnt make sense
[11:22] <Guest59572> i just installed ubuntu 8.10, and it's crashing almost immediately after i log in, this started happening after i enabled desktop effects and i think that this is what is causing it. how can i disable desktop effects in terminal? or any other ideas?
[11:22] <ziroday`> HiSPeed: you need to talk to the truecrypt devs about that
[11:22] <HiSPeed> i refrain from creating some weird workaround when there are mechanisms to be used within the system to save those workaround
[11:22] <HiSPeed> it s an ubuntu thing.. why would the truecrypt people care?
[11:22] <poisonkiller> erythrocyte: lol, thanks for pointing that out :) it turned out my PCM was at 0%
[11:23] <Defrysk> Guest57561, metacity --replace
[11:23] <perlmonkey> when upgrading Ubuntu is it necessary to manually change the name of the version from the sources.list for every mirror source?
[11:23] <erythrocyte> poisonkiller: no problemo :)
[11:23] <ziroday`> perlmonkey: no.
[11:23] <Gorful> hey, anyone knows how to get wireless working on boot? Trying to set up a headless server.
[11:23] <perlmonkey> ziroday:how to do?
[11:23] <HiSPeed> oh well, thanks for your suggestions, ziroday` and oskar  :)
[11:23] <ziroday`> !upgrade | perlmonkey
[11:23] <rww> Guest59572: perhaps remove the relevant packages with sudo apt-get remove --purge compiz-core desktop-effects
[11:23] <perlmonkey> thanks
[11:24] <Gorful> did some research and the only thing I found was to get wireless working at login..
[11:24] <waterloo> How do u get Rhythmbox to play the mp3 when u double click it in the file browser?
[11:24] <rww> Gorful: Hmm. You'd want to do something in /etc/network/interfaces, but I'm not sure whaty
[11:24] <rww> what **
[11:24] <ziroday`> waterloo: Right click on the file > properties > open with and select rhythmbox
[11:25] <Defrysk> waterloo, rugtclick the mp3 file , select properties and set it to rhythmbox in the "open with " tab
[11:25] <skenmon> hi-
[11:25] <Defrysk> rightcklick*
[11:25] <co_culu2> dheen_dha07@yahoo.co.id
[11:25] <rww> Gorful: maybe try http://dilationtime.wordpress.com/2008/06/07/linux-automating-wireless-connection/ ?
[11:25] <waterloo> ziroday, i've done that but when i double click it now, Rhythmbox opens but doesnt play it automatically
[11:26] <waterloo> i have to press play myself
[11:26] <Gorful> you mean adding the wirless interface in the /etc/network/interfaces?
[11:26] <Gorful> I think I already got that
[11:26] <rww> Gorful: Did you add an auto line for it?
[11:26] <ziroday`> waterloo: don't know about that. Sorry
[11:26] <Gorful> yes
[11:26] <Defrysk> waterloo, thats normal behaviour
[11:26] <Guest59572> rww: i tried that, and now when it crashets instead of sitting in some command window, it goes back to the login screen
[11:26] <ziroday`> waterloo: however if you hover your mouse over the sound file it will start playing
[11:27] <waterloo> Defrysk, can i change it?
[11:27] <Defrysk> waterloo, i would heve to take a look in gconf-editor, one sec
[11:27] <Gorful> if I reboot my headless server, I can't connect to it, since the wireless will be down...really annoying
[11:28] <tARrAScH> Hello, if I wan't help with the program 'diff', can anyone suggest a GUI or direct me to a appropriate irc-channel ?
[11:28] <ziroday`> tARrAScH: take a look at meld
[11:28] <tARrAScH> ziroday`: is it a GUI or a irc channel :p ?
[11:28] <co_culu2_> fgdfgs
[11:28] <ziroday`> tARrAScH: its a GUI program
[11:28] <jim_p> hi there
[11:29] <ziroday`> co_culu2: do you have a question we can help you with?
[11:29] <rww> Gorful: so you haven't tried rebooting after editing /etc/network/interfaces? Or you did and it didn't work?
[11:29] <Gorful> didn't work...
[11:30] <rww> Gorful: okay. Can you copy your interfaces file to paste.ubuntu.com (remember to remove any wireless passwords or w/e in there first)?
[11:30] <Defrysk> waterloo, no pe, too bad
[11:30] <chakoshi> hi, I have a problem with(pxe boot + preseeding), can any one help me?

[11:33] <BoltClock> i just used gparted to resize my windows disk and when i reboot windows xp to check, chkdsk is spitting this line "Deleting index $0 from file 25" again and again and again. am i in trouble?
[11:33] <chakoshi> hi dmay, I can boot the oder system from network, and installation begins but it neglects the preseeding file

[11:34] <ardchoille> that's the pdf reader app
[11:34] <Defrysk> evince is a pdf reader
[11:34] <TecR0c_> oh ok thanks.
[11:34] <TecR0c_> beautiful  !
[11:34] <chakoshi> as I've checked there's no eth0 detected at the start of installation, any suggestions?

[11:36] <BoltClock> i just used gparted to resize my windows disk and when i reboot windows xp to check, chkdsk is spitting this line "Deleting index $0 from file 25" again and again and again. now i cant run sudo mount on my windows partition because it says its in use. am i in trouble?
[11:36] <Blacksun> 123
[11:37] <psypher246> hey all, could someone please tell me how to get network manager to connect to a wireless network without having to enter a password to do so. i would like my mythbuntu to connect to the wireless network without intervention. or could someone at least tell me what to google cos i aint finsing anything and I don't want to do this with the interfaces file, thanks
[11:37] <zizo> Hi all!! :)
[11:38] <_nmap> im trying to start a dhcpd3 server in ubuntu server but im getting this error: Can't create PID file /var/run/dhcpd.pid: Permission denied. I'm trying to start has root. Any suggestions?
[11:38] <Gorful> BoltClock: your HD is dying
[11:38] <perlmonkey> an enthusiastic greeting from zizo!!
[11:38] <dmay> _nmap: check existing of /var/run
[11:39] <BoltClock> Gorful: :O
[11:39] <HiSPeed> BoltClock, using gparted was mighty courageous ;)
[11:39] <perlmonkey> BoltClock should have backups? if not, backup as much data as possible and consider re-formatting and partitioning
[11:39] <blobX> hi all need some help with wifi and wpa2
[11:39] <BoltClock> ugh >.>
[11:39] <BoltClock> ill see what i can do
[11:39]  * HiSPeed probably would have used something like partition magic or good software akin to this.. dont wanna do resize ;)
[11:39] <perlmonkey> partitioning drives with data is always risky
[11:39] <blobX> I use 8.04 and dwl G520 wifi card
[11:40] <HiSPeed> wait it s xp? an ntfs partition? that would explain it
[11:40] <blobX> cant access my router even though I added needed info
[11:40] <zizo> I've an intel ICH6 controller for my ide cd drive, so i'd like to know if it's better the old PIIX_IDE module or the new and libata based ata_piix. Tnx :)
[11:40] <_nmap> dmay, the dir is there, only the dhcpd.pid does not exist. But i think this file is created at the start of the service right?
[11:40] <dmay> exactly
[11:40] <deardeath2> Greetings when ubuntu loaded, it somehow didn't load my partitions
[11:41] <deardeath2> Can someone tell me how I can load those partitions without rebooting, and then mounting said partitions?
[11:41] <perlmonkey> KwiFiManager
[11:41] <dmay> _nmap: how do you runs dhcpd?
[11:41] <deardeath2> perlmonkey: Was that for me?
[11:41] <blobX> deardeath2, mount /dev/nameof device /mnt/wheredoyouwannamountit
[11:41] <perlmonkey> anyone who has wifi probs
[11:42] <deardeath2> blobX: The problem is, my partitions aren't listed under /dev
[11:42] <deardeath2> As in when I opened Ubuntu, it somehow didn't see the other partitions
[11:42] <whileimhere> Morning folks. I was wondering does Synaptic keep a cache of all the deb files it downloads and if it does can it be purged to save some space on the HD?
[11:42] <jim_p> perlmonkey, do you have? then its network manager. dump it at any cost
[11:42] <MaximB> how do I restart the sshd service with ubuntu ?
[11:42] <blobX> deardeath2, mount /dev/hda1 --> first partition hda2 second and so on
[11:42] <ziroday`> whileimhere: yep. do sudo apt-get clean
[11:42] <jim_p> perlmonkey, just kidding. what is the problem?
[11:42] <zizo> UP! I've an intel ICH6 controller for my ide cd drive, so i'd like to know if it's better the old PIIX_IDE module or the new and libata based ata_piix. Tnx :)
[11:42] <perlmonkey> jim_p: I use wpa_supplicant
[11:43] <perlmonkey> my hardware was not fully supported
[11:43] <blobX> ayuone uses wpa2 and wifi on ubutu 8.04 ?
[11:43] <jim_p> whileimhere, yes it does. to clean it up from the terminal           sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean
[11:43] <Flannel> whileimhere: it can, `sudo apt-cache clean` will get rid of all of them, `sudo apt-cache autoclean` will get rid of old ones
[11:43] <deardeath2> blobX: There is no hda or hdb or hdc or any partitions under /dev. Is there a way to make the ubuntu re-check other partitions without rebooting it?
[11:43] <perlmonkey> but Kwifimanager of network manager are useful starting points for anyone not able to connect to router or having big problems
[11:43] <perlmonkey> *or
[11:43] <_nmap> dmay, just typing dhcpd3, is it right?
[11:43] <blobX> deardeath2, then you have sata drives and they use SDA nams
[11:44] <jim_p> perlmonkey, so its the network manager. wireless was working but now it doesnt
[11:44] <perlmonkey> blobX me
[11:44] <psypher246> perlmonkey: how can i connect to wifi without having to enter a password for network manager
[11:44] <whileimhere> Flannel it say invalid operation
[11:44] <psypher246> not the wpa password, the sudo password
[11:44] <blobX> perlmonkey, need some input regarding wpa2
[11:44] <Flannel> whileimhere: what did?
[11:44] <Defrysk> deardeath2, try sudo fdisk -l
[11:44] <perlmonkey> psypher246: install wpa_supplicant and edit your interfaces file with the necessary wpa login info
[11:44] <Defrysk> to see what you have
[11:44] <blobX> perlmonkey, added needed info but still no access to my router
[11:44] <deardeath2> says it can't open /dev/sda
[11:45] <Flannel> deardeath2, Defrysk: Recent (well, not so recent anymore) versions all have sdX instead of hdX
[11:45] <deardeath2> and /dev/sdb
[11:45] <dmay> _nmap: not shure ) try sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp<Tab>
[11:45] <perlmonkey> but you may not need wpa_supplicant, depends on your hardware
[11:45] <psypher246> perlmonkey: can i not edit the authori<zation to not ask for a password for that user, i don't want to use interfaces file
[11:45] <blobX> deardeath2, sda1 or sda2 and so on ??
[11:45] <jim_p> whileimhere and Flannel, its apt-GET clean, apt-CACHE has other usage
[11:45] <dmay> _nmap: (<Tab> is for autocomplete)
[11:45] <zizo> deardeath2: i dont use ubuntu but gentoo, but open a terminal and give 'sudo lspci -vvv | nopaste' :)
[11:45] <_nmap> dmay, /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start
[11:45] <_nmap> and the service start!
[11:45] <perlmonkey> psypher246: but then it won't be secure, you have to have a key else anyone will be able to access your network
[11:45] <_nmap> dmay, heehhe thanks man.
[11:46] <blobX> zizo, its the same command on both distroes
[11:46] <deardeath2> blobX: Yes they are listed as sda1, but fdisk says it cannot open the partitions
[11:46] <psypher246> how can anyone access the network?
[11:46] <blobX> deardeath2, fdkisk cant open it its a partition tool
[11:46] <psypher246> i'm not talking about the wireless pasword
[11:46] <psypher246> i'm taling about letting network manager connect to it and IT asks for a password
[11:46] <blobX> deardeath2, do mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk1 (you need to make disk1 under /mnt)
[11:46] <perlmonkey> ok
[11:46] <SteveH_> deardeath: Are these partitions linux formatted?
[11:47] <deardeath2> no
[11:47] <deardeath2> Everything worked pretty much alright
[11:47] <zizo> i know, but some things are a little different :) for example you didn't compiled your kernel, and probably thisis wath tou need
[11:47] <blobX> perlmonkey, any tips for me ?
[11:47] <perlmonkey> I don't use network manager
[11:47] <deardeath2> Just that my pc crashed last night, when I booted it in the morning the partitions weren't accessible in ubuntu
[11:47] <blobX> perlmonkey, sure, I use text conf docs too but it doesnt help mr
[11:47] <psypher246> does anyone know how to give a specific user authorization to use specific thing sin ubuntu without the sudo password being enetered?
[11:48] <deardeath2> blobX:  Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use.
[11:48] <psypher246> or at least what i should google for
[11:48] <blobX> deardeath2, unmount it then
[11:48] <vallhalla81> ‎lla olleh
[11:48] <zizo> psypher246: try sudoedit
[11:48] <jim_p> deardeath2, boot to xp/vista and make a normal shutdown
[11:48] <psypher246> thanks
[11:48] <perlmonkey> blobX the only user that can do that is root
[11:49] <deardeath2> jim_p:  The problem is I do not want to boot the pc.
[11:49] <deardeath2> Ah well it appears I'll need to boot it, thanks a lot.
[11:49] <SteveH_> deardeath: Also, you could add the --force option to the mount command.
[11:49] <blobX> perlmonkey, my Q is what do add in inerfaces to be able to access my network ?
[11:49] <jim_p> deardeath2, well thats the only safe way. you can try forced mounting but it may screw things
[11:49] <perlmonkey> blobX; sorry that answer was for psypher246
[11:50] <perlmonkey> only 3 lines are needed in interfaces to use WPA wifi
[11:51] <morningwalker> hi i am on ubuntu 8.10 and unable to play any media files!
[11:51] <whileimhere> Is there a good alternative to Digikam and F-Spot?
[11:51] <perlmonkey> wpa-driver, wpa-ssid, wpa-psk
[11:51] <SteveH_> Can someone take a look at the pastebin site, and tell me why I can't make the network operational?
[11:51] <morningwalker> i need help
[11:51] <DrHalan> hey using shipIt i can't select 32 or 64 bit anymore :(
[11:51] <blobX> perlmonkey, sure and I added all needed info but it seam that driver cant do WPA2
[11:51] <morningwalker> please answer someone
[11:51] <perlmonkey> blobX: which driver are you using?
[11:51] <jim_p> whileimhere, if you dont mind wine emulated picassa, yes
[11:51] <psypher246> perlmonkey: then wat is the point of this new apparmor feuture if you cannot give access to other users besides root do do things
[11:52] <perlmonkey> psypher246: well you can, but it requires password
[11:52] <blobX> perlmonkey, wext
[11:52] <psypher246> what requires a password?
[11:52] <blobX> perlmonkey, not sure if its the right one for dwl g520
[11:52] <perlmonkey> blobX ok and you have wpa_supplicant installed?
[11:52] <SteveH_> morningwalker, what's your prob?
[11:53] <blobX> perlmonkey, not sure ..dont think so
[11:53] <whileimhere> No I don't mind Wine apps.
[11:53] <whileimhere> Is Picasa a closed source app?
[11:53] <morningwalker> SteveH_, i am unable to play media files
[11:53] <blobX> perlmonkey, is it in ubuntu 8.04 cd ?
[11:53] <jim_p> whileimhere, its googles app. and it is windows picassa with wine
[11:53] <bazhang> morningwalker, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:53] <morningwalker> SteveH_, any suggestions?
[11:54] <morningwalker> bazhang, ok
[11:54] <whileimhere> But it is a closed source app then??
[11:54] <mannnnnnnnnnnnnn> hello
[11:54] <edvard> hi! Having some problems with Ubuntu on my Acer 5930.. On aprox 1/3 boot ups, I never get to the login screen but just get a black screen with a blinking capslock light (Kernel Panic I think?) Any advice?
[11:54] <morningwalker> bazhang, m new to ubuntu, where can i find ubuntu-restricted areas?
[11:54] <ardchoille> whoa, ubuntu-restricted-extras has a ton of nice stuff in it :)
[11:54] <mannnnnnnnnnnnnn> how to cut and paste to other partition my sile in my ubuntu desktop?
[11:55] <bazhang> morningwalker, in synaptic package manager
[11:55] <blobX> perlmonkey, just checked apt and yes wpasupplicant is installed
[11:55] <perlmonkey> blobX:http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-install-and-configure-dlink-dwl-g-520-wireless-lan-pci-card.html
[11:55] <jim_p> whileimhere, i think so. please highlight me next time :P
[11:55] <psypher246> morningwalker: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:55] <mannnnnnnnnnnnnn> how to cut and paste to other partition my file in my ubuntu desktop?
[11:55] <psypher246> morningwalker: go to www.ubuntuguide.org VERY usefull for new users
[11:55] <UberTaco> hey people
[11:55] <jim_p> whileimhere, and google denied to make a native linux app so far, although picassa is on v3
[11:55] <blobX> perlmonkey, gonna check that url , thanks
[11:56] <UberTaco> quick question: how would I go about upgrading an existing 8.04 install to 8.10 using the standard Live ISO?
[11:56] <morningwalker> psypher246, thx for the link
[11:56] <UberTaco> I can apt-get, but web-surfing's blocked. Otherwise I'd have googled it
[11:56] <ziroday`> UberTaco: you can't. Only the alternate cd can be used
[11:56] <UberTaco> Curses.
[11:56] <whileimhere> jim_p I wonder why thy dont want a Linux app
[11:56] <UberTaco> Any chance I can do a network update then using update-manager or something?
[11:56] <psypher246> UberTaco: oooh i had lots of fun with that one, quick answer, i could ONLY do it with the alternative
[11:57] <jim_p> whileimhere, they said that a port to gtk or qt is pointless. let me find the articlew
[11:57] <morningwalker> psypher246, i will be more specific with my prob, when i play songs on rhythmbox, it shows that it is playing, but nothing is audible... only the login sound is heard when logging in
[11:57] <morningwalker> there seems that no other media file does actually play
[11:58] <psypher246> try that command 1st then try media again
[11:58] <perlmonkey> blobX: you should verify the chipset and make sure you have the right driver first of all. you can get info with lspci -v in shell, and also check dmesg to see if driver is loading and/or reporting any errors
[11:58] <psypher246> perlmonkey: which password were you referring to, i don't think you understand what I mean
[11:59] <perlmonkey> blobX: although there is open source driver available from D-Link you may not need to compile it, since theres some native support in Ubuntu but it depends on chipset version... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=43311&highlight=D-Link has more info also
[11:59] <paule118> Ihr seid einfach nur klasse :)
[11:59] <perlmonkey> psypher246: the password requested when you use sudo
[11:59] <Elmnas> hi guys can someone please help me find drivers to a webcam logitech 5000 please
[11:59] <morningwalker> i will be more specific with my prob, when i play songs on rhythmbox, it shows that it is playing, but nothing is audible... only the login sound is heard when logging in
[11:59] <psypher246> perlmonkey: no u don't get what i mean
[11:59] <SteveH_> I am getting "Destination Host Unreachable" when  trying to ping anything on mt net.  The card is seen (and can work here in Windows), it shows up on ifconfig, and the route SEEMS correct.  Can anyone look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/78251/ and see what I am missing?
[12:00] <morningwalker> it doesnt play a thing on VLC as well
[12:01] <blue_> hi everyone
[12:01] <blue_> total newbie here
[12:01] <Balachmar> Hi, I have a serious problem, my computer doesn't boot anymore. It complains that it cannot find the harddisk and drops to initramfs
[12:01] <psypher246> morningwalker: well that could be a audio driver issue, in my book pulseaudio is still very dodgy. get the codecs 1st then come back here. u gonna need them anyway to play things
[12:01] <blobX> perlmonkey, thanks for links ..gonna do some reaserch and try again, kinda hard to download stuff when you have no access to internet
[12:01] <blue_> just installed ubuntu 8.10 32 bit on my AMD X2 64 bit 3800 PC
[12:01] <paule118> Ihr seid einfach Ihr seid einfach nur klasse :)nur klasse :)
[12:02] <blue_> he system seems very sluggish, and the cpu load in system monitor is always around 50%, even with nothing being done
[12:02] <perlmonkey> steveH_ same happens when you ping the IP address?
[12:02] <blue_> when i do 2 things at a time, e.g. talk on skype, and watch a movie, the movie runs in slow motion
[12:02] <scientes> whats the best way to do network storage in ubuntu?
[12:02] <perlmonkey> blobX: aye, you probably won't need to download anything I suspect
[12:02] <jim_p> SteveH_, network manager problem. remove it
[12:02] <jim_p> scientes, nfs
[12:02] <scientes> but nfs isnt secure
[12:02] <SteveH_> perlmonkyL Yeah, except when pinging "myself"
[12:02] <perlmonkey> nfs rocks
[12:03] <morningwalker> psypher246, everything was fine when i was running ubuntu 8.04!!
[12:03] <psypher246> scientes: check out sshfs
[12:03] <scientes> i was also getting really slow folder listings with nfs
[12:03] <jim_p> SteveH_, everything is clean but it still does not connect, so some "layer" is responsible" for it
[12:03] <Balachmar> How should I fix it that my computer finds the drive from initramfs?
[12:03] <scientes> while on samba they are fast
[12:03] <psypher246> morningwalker: things change, in my case hardy SUUUUCKED, and now intrepid roooocks, but some people have the opposite effect
[12:03] <jim_p> scientes, is it on a local network?
[12:04] <scientes> yes
[12:04] <scientes> still, we share our network with the neighbors
[12:04] <SteveH_> jim_p: not syre which manager you are referring to?
[12:04] <scientes> ive been doing it but it isnt very secure
[12:04] <jim_p> scientes, the storage area you want to make. or is it something more exotic
[12:04] <blue_> the system seems very sluggish, and the cpu load in system monitor is always around 50%, even with nothing being done
[12:04] <blue_> anyone know why?
[12:04] <morningwalker> psypher246; hardy was more stable... intrepid has more applications
[12:04] <blue_> I have ubuntu 8.10
[12:05] <scientes> id like to be able to have new virtual machines use my home directory right off the bat
[12:05] <scientes> will that cause problems to have many logins on one home directory?
[12:05] <psypher246> morningwalker: hardy was so unstable for me, i almost went back to gutsy, personally hardfy was the worst ubuntu yet, but others disagree
[12:05] <perlmonkey> SteveH_ could be problem on router network config perhaps, thats all I think of
[12:05] <jim_p> SteveH_, nm. the network manager thing/applet/whatever it is. stop its service and remove it
[12:05] <SteveH_> OK, so I can see the card, can see the IP address and the ifconfig looks good to me, and so does the route.  What layer am I missing?
[12:06] <morningwalker> Steveh_ i might be able to help if you have networking issues
[12:06] <morningwalker> n connecting to the iternet
[12:06] <monkeyb> Is it normal that there havent been any updates for a few weeks with 8.10? seems trifling strange to me, or perhaps is there something wrong with my setup?
[12:06] <perlmonkey> is your cable in correctly? not damaged? I had same problem a while ago and spend a good two hours on it and turned out to be a bad cable
[12:06] <Balachmar> I am at the initramfs and when trying to see if the disk is there in /dev/disk-by-uuid/ that whole directory doesn't exist!
[12:07] <morningwalker> internet*
[12:07] <SteveH_> can you look at the http://paste.ubuntu.com/78251/ file and see something?
[12:07] <mrwes> re
[12:07] <perlmonkey> if the cable and router are ok, then it has to be some firewall issue, try a basic connection without any firewall
[12:07] <Defrysk> monkeyb, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , and find out
[12:07] <jim_p> whileimhere, it seems my internet is slow now. i have not forgotten it. i will find the article
[12:08] <morningwalker> SteveH_ what is the problem?
[12:08] <SteveH_> jum_p: are you saying that I ought to kill the nm process?
[12:08] <perlmonkey> no ping from router
[12:08] <jim_p> SteveH_, process or service or whatever it is. kill it and remove it
[12:08] <monkeyb> Defrysk: I have done that, no updates, it just seems strange after a few weeks im not getting any updates
[12:09] <perlmonkey> ps -A kill (process id)
[12:09] <NishaKitty> does anyone know an effective way to identify a windows process in gnome?
[12:09] <sweetjesus> hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu on my pc. Right now I have two disks, one with one partition and one with two partitions. I want to install it in one oft the partitions on the second disks, but what should I choose when installing?
[12:09] <mrwes> NishaKitty, with wine I take it?
[12:09] <SteveH_> [erlmonkey: if your comment re: router was to me, I'm using the same HW right now.
[12:09] <jim_p> NishaKitty, like... killall wineserver?
[12:09] <NishaKitty> like I ran a app gnome-art it locked up I go to system monitor to get rid of it and I can't find anything called gnome-art
[12:10] <mrwes> yah...kill the wine server
[12:10] <NishaKitty> so I have to guess and idk what the hell it's process name is
[12:10] <NishaKitty> this is the gnome window manager
[12:10] <perlmonkey> SteveH_: yes, so the router is ok its just this particular system having a problem, I see
[12:10] <NishaKitty> has nothing ot do with wine
[12:10] <perlmonkey> we can rule out the router
[12:10] <iarwain1> sweetjesus: most likely sdb2
[12:10] <glitchie> hiya
[12:11] <mrwes> hey glitchie
[12:11] <perlmonkey> SteveH_ alot of these problems just go away by themselves, have you tried reinitialising the router and also restarting networking?
[12:11] <glitchie> i'm currently using a clean install of ubuntu8.04 and when i goto use wget it says command not found
[12:11] <NishaKitty> I eventually got frustraited unable to find the process name of the gnome application that locked up and just done ctrl+alt+backspace
[12:11] <SteveH_> Worse, perlmonkey, it is only the ybuntu 8.04 side of my dual boot system.'
[12:11] <mrwes> glitchie, did you enable third party software?
[12:11] <perlmonkey> ah
[12:12] <glitchie> mrwes (im going to lean towards no)
[12:12] <jms32> Why CUPSD can loading around a minute?
[12:12] <glitchie> the only thing i've done so far is install build-essential
[12:12] <mrwes> glitchie, System |  Administration | Software Sources
[12:12] <cordor> hello
[12:12] <glitchie> mrwes its server based
[12:13] <cordor> compiz said Xgl not present
[12:13] <glitchie> i have no gui
[12:13] <napster> Hello, how are you linux guys
[12:13] <perlmonkey> sweetjesus:you will be able to choose the disk and partition when you begin install process
[12:13] <sweetjesus> but how should I format it then? the guide doesnt let me choose just that partition
[12:13] <SteveH_> [er;,pmley, yes I'vew done the is ot plugged in, reboot both the dsl modem and witeless router.
[12:13] <perlmonkey> sweetjesus: just be careful you choose the right one, choose guided option, not manual unless you know what you're doing
[12:14] <mrwes> glitchie, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the restricted lines
[12:14] <mrwes> er with nano or vi..whatever editor you have installed
[12:14] <perlmonkey> sweetjesus: it should format it for you, or ask you if you want to
[12:14] <kun> ?
[12:14] <kun> who
[12:15] <ValentineXX> o how to view and delete plugin in firefox? it said real media plugin needed, i clicked on next and search, got many ubuntu logo plugin installed xine plugin now i cannot view
[12:15] <kun> 谁
[12:15] <mrwes> believes coffee is the nectar of life
[12:15] <blue_> what firewall to use in Ubuntu?
[12:15] <morningwalker> blue_ there is one by default
[12:15] <napster>  coffee?
[12:15] <ardchoille> !firewall
[12:15] <sweetjesus> pearlmonkey i got these options: 1. change size on sdb ant use free space. 2. use the whole disk. 3 use largest amount of free space
[12:15] <kun> fi
[12:15] <kun> exit
[12:16] <napster> how?
[12:16] <Zaraki_Kenpachi> hi, i have just installed clamav in my system, i install freshclam too, how do i update clamav, because in its 1st run it say the virus database is out of date?
[12:16] <SteveH_> Thanks all.  Lemee go over to linux and see if I can make any progress.
[12:16] <jim_p> ValentineXX, go to Tools > addons > (Last tab with the lego piece) and disable it from there
[12:16] <blue_> so i don't need an additional firewall?
[12:16] <jim_p> blue_, no
[12:16] <mrwes> glitchie, make sure you do a sudo apt-get update
[12:16] <blue_> :)
[12:16] <blue_> thanks
[12:16] <jim_p> Zaraki_Kenpachi, well update it then
[12:16] <mrwes> blue_, if you're running torrents you can install ipblocker or moblock
[12:16] <napster> i want to install google earth
[12:16] <mrwes> blue_, kinda like peerguardian
[12:16] <napster> please tell me how i can do this?
[12:17] <MM2> How I complete reinstall Firefox? It behaves weardly: toolbars are missing and address autocomplete won't work
[12:17] <Zaraki_Kenpachi> jim_p, i have just install it from the main repo?
[12:17] <cordor> help, i use the latest nvidia driver and compiz said Xgl not present, how do i get it working?
[12:17] <ValentineXX> jim_p: yes i got that, thank you, ubuntu should not include so many useless plugin in those auto searches.
[12:17] <perlmonkey> sweetjesus:are you installing into a partition did you say, or an entire disk?
[12:17] <morningwalker> napster: go to the synaptic and search for the package googleearth
[12:17] <jim_p> Zaraki_Kenpachi, and make sure you have the latest version of clamav, because update denies to update older version of clamav
[12:17] <glitchie> mrwes so is it nano edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:17] <mrwes> http://www.googlubuntu.com/
[12:17] <napster> are you sure i can find it there?
[12:17] <elijah> Good day gentlemen. Is it possibly to install latest Code::BLocks nigtly build by typing something in console?
[12:17] <jim_p> Zaraki_Kenpachi, yea from the main repo
[12:17] <sweetjesus> pearlmonkey: I want to install in the partition that was my windows-partition before
[12:17] <morningwalker> napster, yes, i have it installed
[12:18] <mrwes> glitchie, nah....nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:18] <jim_p> elijah, please show us a link
[12:18] <perlmonkey> elijah:cronjob?
[12:18] <napster> ok let me check and thanks for your time
[12:18] <elijah> jim_p: a link to what?
[12:18] <morningwalker> napster, not a prob
[12:18] <perlmonkey> sweetjesus: does it have data on still, or did you format it ready?
[12:19] <scientes> is there any way to validate with debs the validity of your system binaries etc?
[12:19] <sweetjesus> perlmonkey: it still has data on it
[12:19] <jim_p> elijah, a link to code::blocks
[12:19] <perlmonkey> sweetjesus:ok in that case linux is likely to ignore it and not see it as an available partition, you may need to manually select it
[12:19] <morningwalker> napster, did u find it?
[12:20] <mrwes> blah!
[12:20] <napster> Ooopppsss no application found
[12:20] <Zaraki_Kenpachi> jim_p, sorry what i mean is that i install some softwares from the main repo, but when i run it is an older version, sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade tells me all my software are up to date
[12:21] <kiru> yeah, 1337 users in this channel
[12:21] <sweetjesus> perlmonkey if i go into manual and then delete it, then going back to the guide again do you think it will work?
[12:21] <Elmnas> does someone know a program for ventrilo instead in linux?
[12:21] <perlmonkey> amulegui wont connect to amuled unless you have set the passport in amuled encrypted
[12:21] <NishaKitty> does anyone have a guide or can tell me how to theme gnome right?
[12:21] <NishaKitty> cause I've been trying and not getting very far -.-
[12:21] <NishaKitty> *is sick of brown*
[12:21] <Ahri> hi, i'd like to use gcc 3 to compile some stuff, how can i install and specify which version of gcc to use?
[12:21] <napster> morningWalker.... I've not found
[12:21] <jim_p> Zaraki_Kenpachi, clamwin updates its virus db etc from an internal command. i dont know what that command is
[12:21] <Balachmar> Elmnas: Teamspeak works in linux
[12:21] <mrwes> NishaKitty, google Ubuntu eye candy
[12:22] <perlmonkey> sweetjesus:yes that would work too, then you can use the free space to make a new partition
[12:22] <NishaKitty> k'
[12:22] <ardchoille> !theme | NishaKitty
[12:22] <jim_p> Zaraki_Kenpachi, use a gui to find it
[12:22] <elijah> NishaKitty: Try http://art.gnome.com
[12:22] <mrwes> damn...there ya go!
[12:22] <morningwalker> napster; that is strange
[12:22] <mrwes> handed right to ya...no work involved
[12:22] <napster> yes, I'm using 8.10
[12:22] <ardchoille> NishaKitty: Ubuntu can look quite nice: http://ardchoille.nfshost.com/Gallery/Screenshots?action=imagelink&i=scr-20081125.jpg
[12:22] <NishaKitty> it's just everytime I install a theme it complains something is missing and gives no clue how to go about fixing it ;_;
[12:22] <mrwes> likes the black and white theme
[12:22] <Elmnas> ok
[12:22] <morningwalker> napster, try reload n search again
[12:22] <perlmonkey> sweetjesus: infact that is probably a better way to do it, since with the free space linux installer will create your swap partition
[12:23] <Zaraki_Kenpachi> jim_p, thank you for your attention
[12:23] <napster> ok
[12:23] <dual> Could someone recommend a mouse with 360 degrees scroll that works with Ubuntu. I'm sick of just being able to scroll up and down.
[12:23] <NishaKitty> you might want to remove http://art.gnome.com/
[12:23] <NishaKitty> looks like the dns expired
[12:23]  * perlmonkey is 3 minutes away from a feisty -> gutsy upgrade completion
[12:24] <ardchoille> NishaKitty: http://art.gnome.org
[12:24] <elijah> ardchoille: Yes, this is what I ment
[12:24] <ardchoille> http://art.gnome.org works fine here
[12:25] <perlmonkey> ardchoille thats cool
[12:25] <napster> Ah! the same results
[12:25] <Balachmar> Where can I specify that I only want 2 kernels installed on my system at a given time?
[12:25] <perlmonkey> im needing bananas
[12:26] <napster> any other way to do that job, morningwalker?
[12:26] <ardchoille> Balachmar: in /boot/grub/menu.lst  set howmany=?  where ? = how many you want
[12:26] <NishaKitty> thanks worked easily
[12:26] <perlmonkey> Balachmar lf you mean only 2 kernels available on the grup menu, then edit your menu list
[12:26] <mrwes> !bananas | Perlmonkey
[12:26] <mrwes> heh
[12:26] <perlmonkey> mrwes: many thanks :-}
[12:26] <giada> ciao
[12:27] <mrwes> ciao amigo mio!

[13:37] <jgb> Using DownThemAll 1.0.3 on FireFox 3.0.3, a bunch of files from chaosradio.ccc.de is stuck on 99% (and one stuck on 81%) - all timed out.  Resuming them just times out again, time after time.  Is this a know bug?
[13:37] <pucko-> xiangfu, aren't cdc_acm for ethernet over usb? what kind of 3g modem do you have?
[13:37] <morningwalker> sound inaudible in ubuntu 8.10
[13:37] <nabilelisa> juser123: the error we see before it crashes is "init: error parsing configuration.  not a directory"
[13:37] <perlmonkey> :-/
[13:37] <Omar87> How do I make sure the my graphics drivers are installed?
[13:37] <Omar87> that*
[13:37] <perlmonkey> Omar87: modprobe
[13:38] <mannnnnnnnnnnnnn> # /etc/fstab: static file system information.# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass> proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0 # /dev/sda1 UUID=989230d5-3024-4b0f-bbd5-4a960879ba86 /               ext3    relatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[13:38] <juser123> nabilelisa: humm..  not sure then.  do you get a menu when you hit 'esc' at grub startup?
[13:38] <perlmonkey> Omar87: or lsmod if not sure driver name
[13:38] <Omar87> perlmonkey: modprobe what?
[13:38] <morningwalker> how to solve this problem - sound inaudible on ubuntu 8.10, but still shows the media is playing
[13:38] <xiangfu> pucko-: it's some king of GPRS modem. but it's also work in 3G network(TD-SCDMA)
[13:38] <perlmonkey> modprobe driver name
[13:39] <nabilelisa> juser123: well we got to choose which kernel to boot up with - not sure if he had to press esc - i think it was set up to prompt the user regardless
[13:39] <perlmonkey> everyone seems to be having audio problems
[13:39] <perlmonkey> myself included
[13:39] <Schuenemann> Omar87, see if glxinfo | grep vendor helps
[13:39] <juser123> nabilelisa: ahh. ok.  i have to hit 'esc' to get the menu of kernels.  how many kernels are listed?
[13:39] <uwe2006> hi has anyone experience with Rosegarden and Ardour?
[13:40] <nabilelisa> juser123: 2.6.27-7-generic and 2.6.27-9-generic
[13:40] <perlmonkey> i got audio back
[13:40] <arun_> tell me about nvclock
[13:40] <juser123> select the 2.6.27-7 version and see if you can boot up
[13:40]  * perlmonkey puts ear fones in and bobs up and down to jean michel jarre
[13:40] <nabilelisa> juser123: we did and no luck :(
[13:41] <mannnnnnnnnnnnnn> Schuenemann, Yes it mount automatically, i could not paste any file in the partition
[13:41] <juser123> nabilelisa: dang. what was the error again?
[13:41] <ubuntulover> for a first timer
[13:41] <Schuenemann> mannnnnnnnnnnnnn, paste /etc/fstab to pastebin and show us
[13:41] <ubuntulover> what icons should come on destop after u log in for first time?
[13:41] <ardchoille> ubuntulog: usually none
[13:41] <pucko-> xiangfu, I would guess it tries to use the wrong driver. tried loading it with usbserial? but it would help if you knew exactly what kind of modem you have
[13:42] <ubuntulover> ard: so what am i suppose to do then
[13:42] <nabilelisa> juser123: the error we see before it crashes is "init: error parsing configuration.  not a directory" or something very similar
[13:42] <ubuntulover> ard: put in commands or something to bring them up?
[13:42] <perlmonkey> usb devices are notoriously difficult in Linux
[13:42] <ardchoille> ubuntulover: you can turn some icons on. open a terminal and type: gconf-editor
[13:42] <ubuntulover> ard: omg ok hold up
[13:42] <xiangfu> pucko-: it's POSTCOM TD-SCDMA H301
[13:42] <ardchoille> ubuntulover: go to apps/nautilus/desktop  and check the ones you want to see
[13:42] <perlmonkey> storage devices/keyboard and mice are ok, but anything else..
[13:43] <nabilelisa> juser123: formatting and reinstalling is a possibility, but it seems a bit extreme... especially if this is caused by a software update then it could easily happen again to the clean install...
[13:43] <hejilin> 有没有国人啊？？
[13:43] <juser123> nabilelisa: interesting.. the different kernels are "supposed" to be parallel installs so you can switch back and forth.
[13:43] <xiangfu> pucko-: it's a China company(postcom).
[13:43] <darkknow> plop
[13:43] <xiangfu> hejilin: no Chinese.
[13:43] <shaiguitar_> How do I turn off my firewall ?
[13:43] <juser123> nabilelisa: you are correct. a wipe and reload might get you right back to where you are
[13:44] <ompaul> !cn | hejilin
, already pasted
[13:44] <bazhang> !cn | hejilin
[13:44] <nabilelisa> juser123: after installing the updates, the first restart worked fine, but subsequent restarts were a problem
[13:44] <nabilelisa> juser123: does that fit in with your experience of the problem?
[13:44] <hejilin> 怎么没有国人咯
[13:44] <shaiguitar_> I want to copy over something from my personal laptop over the LAN to my ubuntu laptop - I think my firewall is blocking me to mount that on my local mac .... How do I shut off the ubuntu firewall ?
[13:44] <juser123> nabilelisa: ohh.. that's a different issue that what I was getting.
[13:45] <juser123> nabilelisa: I've never been able to boot the new kernel.
[13:45] <bazhang> hejilin, /join #ubuntu-cn
[13:45] <ubuntulover> ard: im new to this so ima ask u some questions, should their be a startbar?
[13:45] <xiangfu> hejilin: no Chinese, what you want, just ask. i am Chinese :-)
[13:45] <bazhang> hejilin, only English here
[13:45] <Schuenemann> mannnnnnnnnnnnnn, tell me the address...
[13:45] <pucko-> xiangfu: try "lsusb" at a command prompt and look for the ID. what dpoes it say?
[13:45] <juser123> nabilelisa: do you have a live cd you can boot to verify that the disk is ok.
[13:45] <ardchoille> ubuntulover: start bar? where are you seeing this?
[13:45] <kruger> hi i am using ubuntu ultimate edition , how can i share one folder on network ? this error is what i have :
[13:45] <kruger> 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot share path /media/FILME as we are restricted to only sharing directories we own.
[13:45] <kruger> 	Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = False"

[13:46] <xiangfu> pucko-: "Bus 001 Device 006: ID 1234:6119"
[13:46] <nabilelisa> juser123: hrm, very odd.... also installed a new nvidia driver at the same time but like i said we booted fine once and none of the error messages mention graphics
[13:46] <kruger> sorry for flood
[13:46] <bazhang> !ultimate | kruger
[13:46] <mannnnnnnnnnnnnn> address what?
[13:46] <kruger> i din2t know
[13:46] <mannnnnnnnnnnnnn> My IP address
[13:46] <trmanco> http://fullcirclemagazine.org/issue-19/
[13:46] <nabilelisa> juser123: yes, we have a livecd and ran 'fsck -t ext3 /dev/sda1' or something - no errors
[13:46] <joaopinto> mannnnnnnnnnnnnn, can you please use a shorter nick ?
[13:46] <nabilelisa> juser123: also memtest seemed to be fine
[13:46] <shaiguitar_> !firewall
[13:47] <ubuntulover> ardochiolle: Is their suppose to be a startbar in ubuntu? like in windows xp?
[13:47] <juser123> nabilelisa: sounds like you've done the regular tests..  humm..
[13:47] <joaopinto> ubuntulog, there is, a top menu bar
[13:47] <joaopinto> with the gnome menu and applets
[13:47] <ubuntulover> joa: i have nothing in my detop just installed it, iwas told we need menus
[13:47] <aman> yup
[13:47] <ubuntulover> * we need comands to bring the mup?
[13:47] <rendero> i was trying yesterday to connect my lan pc with ubuntu to my server with ubuntu, only i can do it by proxies, is something bad in my firewall rules, what ?
[13:47] <ubuntulover> up*?
[13:47] <nabilelisa> juser123: am thinking of formatting and reverting to 8.04... its LTS and has been around enough for the bugs to get ironed out i reckon... does that sound reasonable or is there an easier way?
[13:47] <ardchoille> ubuntulover: there should be two panels, top of screen and bottom of screen: the top one has your menus and the botton one has taskbar and some others stuff
[13:48] <juser123> nabilelisa: sounds like your init might be corrupted.  I'm not sure how to fix this in the ubuntu way so I'm going to be of little help there, sorry
[13:48] <ubuntulover> ard: nope im in terminal moade and all i have is a box where i can tpye stuff, other then that their is nothing else
[13:48] <joaopinto> !resetpanels | ubuntulover
[13:48] <juser123> nabilelisa: i can't comment on lts, but you have a point that makes sense.
[13:48] <nabilelisa> juser123: yes, i agree the init seems messed up but i also don't know what to do about it :)
[13:48] <ardchoille> ubuntulog: sounds like the server edition was installed
[13:48] <aman> Schuenemann, what address? My Ip addrewss?
[13:48] <jamil_13579> My sound is not working lspci result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78250/
[13:48] <jamil_13579> help
[13:48] <jamil_13579> ?
[13:49] <pucko-> xiangfu: that id doesn't seem to be supported yet. but I will most likely work with usbserial anyway. you might have to force it to load.
[13:49] <pucko-> I=it
[13:49] <nabilelisa> juser123: well thanks anyway, i really appreciate having somebody to bounce ideas off!
[13:49] <Schuenemann> aman, dude, go the pastebin, paste your fstab there and then tell me the URL
[13:49] <ubuntulover> ard: nope destop edition, i just used the latest version
[13:49] <juser123> nabilelisa: my thoughts would be to 'reload' the kernel with apt, but that assumes you have the system running.  can you boot into recovery mode?
[13:49] <juser123> nabilelisa: no problem. good luck.
[13:49] <shaiguitar_> !share
[13:49] <ardchoille> ubuntulover: ok. so you don't have panels or desktop wallpaper or desktop right click menu?

[14:19] <ardchoille> morningwalker: careful with generalizations, I have 8.10 working beautifully on 11 computers here
[14:20] <harc> *can't
[14:20] <Yahovah> morningwalker: I highly doubt that.
[14:20] <Brandano> harc: what sort of video card setup? Have you looked at the logs?
[14:20] <morningwalker> ardchoille' please help in setting my audio to work well!!
[14:20] <aman> Schuenemann, im not sure
[14:20] <aman> file system in sda1
[14:20] <ardchoille> morningwalker: I don't use audio, mine probably doesn't even work for all I know
[14:20] <aman> Schuenemann, i cant see my sda2
[14:20] <debCarlos> hi, how can i know if my hard drive is dying ?
[14:21] <xiangfu> morningwalker: you can try this: http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/11/fix-for-no-sound-issue-in-ubuntu-810.html
[14:21] <xiangfu> morningwalker: help this can help.
[14:21] <harc> Brandano: I can only get them in tty and no idea how to save or access them of a live CD - no other comps to write them down to
[14:21] <ardchoille> harc: That's one part of xorg I can't help with, but at least everyone now knows what your issue is.
[14:21] <harc> cheers ardchoille
[14:22] <erUSUL> !smart
[14:22] <Brandano> harc: well, you can do a "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep EE" and see if there is any obvious error

[14:23] <jamil_1> My sound Volume is too low
[14:23] <xlq> turn it up then
[14:24] <harc> Brandano: http://pastebin.com/d37a1c031
[14:24] <xlq> if all volumes are on maximum, check that you haven't mismatched impedances
[14:24] <xlq> eg. plugging non-amplified speakers into a line-out

[14:24] <filthpig> hi, I'm running ubuntu 8.04 on my old HP Compaq nx7010, and everything seems to work just fine, even suspend and hibernate. However, each time I bring the machine back from suspend, Ubuntu complains "Sleep problem: Your computer failed to suspend. Check the help file for common problems". I just don't get it though, cause the machine seems to enter suspend mode quite nicely. The only blips I've noticed are the soundcard/speakers making a sharp
[14:24] <Brandano> harc: if you have a dual card setup with the latest nvidia drivers and the latest xorg, I found out (the hard way!) that xorc can't decide which device to use as primary, and you have to specify it in the xorg.conf file
[14:24] <harc> Brandano: I'm running on a live cd at the moment thou
[14:24] <alex314> ardchoille: #compiz-fusion helped me! :D
[14:24] <NkZ> Greetings.
[14:24] <ardchoille> alex314: :D
[14:24] <eugman> Is there a file anywhere that stores screen resolution prefernces? I'm having some trouble working with xrandr.
[14:25] <alex314> ardchoille: I had to turn off my "lighting" setting under General options in CCSM
[14:25] <harc> Brandano: afaik it's a single card setup
[14:25] <harc> (not my laptop but preatty sure of that)
[14:25] <Brandano> harc: on a laptop, it seems, since you have a touchpad. But we can ignore that
[14:25] <Brandano> harc:  the only error that seems to cause trouble is this one: (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM

[14:26] <alex314> that's what it looks like now :)
[14:26] <jamil_1> xiangfu thanks :)
[14:26] <chunlei> is there anyone use Hiweed?
[14:26] <shaiguitar_> HELP please - How do I shut off the firewall on my ubuntu ?
[14:26] <xiangfu> jamil_1: you are welcome :-)
[14:26] <shaiguitar_> I want to share some files with my mac, but the mac just doesn't recognize it
[14:26] <ikonia> shaiguitar_: there shouldn't be one running by default
[14:26] <NkZ> I am using Ubu8.04, Since I activated the NVIDIA drivers my resolution wont go over 1024*768. I have not found any resolution line on my XORG file, what could I do to increase my resolution over 1024 768?
[14:27] <ikonia> shaiguitar_: unless you've set one up - there isn't a blocking rule in place
[14:27] <shaiguitar_> hmm, so it's the mac not working I guess.
[14:27] <shaiguitar_> Thanks.
[14:27] <recon69|away> ﻿shaiguitar_: did you install a firewall in ubuntu? as it does not have one by default
[14:27] <shaiguitar_> nope. I guess this is not ubuntu's falutl then
[14:27] <shaiguitar_> Thanks for the help :)
[14:28] <Brandano> harc: this page seems relevant, but I don't know much about Radeon cards: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=3679&page=7
[14:28] <recon69|away> ﻿shaiguitar_: check you domain, needs to be the same on both computers
[14:28] <ikonia> recon69|away: no it doesn't
[14:28] <harc> Brandano: yeah, the lsmod | grep fglrx - just found the same
[14:29] <harc> Brandano: only not sure it that will affect my install on only the livecd?
[14:29] <recon69|away> ikonia: doesn't what?
[14:29] <ikonia> recon69|away: the domain names don't need to be the same
[14:29] <harc> Brandano: blah, pasted the command instead of the link
[14:30] <N3oXid> Hi everyone.
[14:30] <N3oXid> I'm having some troubles with a multi screen configuration.
[14:30] <bk> how can I give a user only view and read priviege to his own home dir and not to the dir of other users?
[14:30] <bk> so that he is not able to see the files in other home dirs?
[14:30] <ikonia> bk: thange the permissions to 600 of the home dir's
[14:30] <ikonia> or 700
[14:30] <Brandano> harc: I don't know how the livecd runs. I think it has its own filesystem in memory
[14:30] <N3oXid> That's right
[14:31] <thief`> howdy folks.
[14:31] <bk> ikonia, how to I do this? and what is the difference between 600 and 700?
[14:31] <pablo> i only can connect a pc lan with proxies, what do i have to do to change the firewall settings to allow a direct connection ?
[14:31] <Brandano> harc: that said, if you have a 2nd PC to consult internet you can still boot to the terminal on the machine you are fixing
[14:31] <N3oXid> 7 = rwx
[14:31] <N3oXid> 6 = rw
[14:31] <ikonia> bk: bk execute bit
[14:32] <thief`>  i stick in my trusty lil thumb drive (using ubuntu) and i do mount /dev/sdc1 /media  is that the correct way?
[14:32] <harc> Brandano: yeah, thats the problem - got just one box here
[14:32] <Brandano> harc: then I don't see many solutions other than pen, paper, and rebooting often
[14:32] <N3oXid> Someone use multi screen configuratio with 2 differents resolution and an ATI card ?
[14:33] <bk> ikonia, thanks, how can I change it?
[14:33] <ikonia> bk: chmod
[14:33] <N3oXid> chmod 700 /home/toto
[14:33] <toneman77> hi there everybody
[14:33] <N3oXid> Hi
[14:33] <Brandano> N3oXid: I think that to do that you need a virtual desktop large enough to accomodate both screens... I don't really know how it's set up.
[14:34] <bk> thanks N3oXid and ikonia
[14:34] <N3oXid> bk: you're welcome
[14:34] <N3oXid> Brandano: I am using a virtual desktop.
[14:35] <N3oXid> Brandano: I have set it up with "aticonfig".
[14:35] <harc> ﻿Brandano thnx for help anyways, will try the oldschool way, c ya
[14:35] <N3oXid> Brandano: But my second screen has a really bad resolution.
[14:35] <Brandano> N3oXid: I have an Nvidia SLI setup. Can help with that because I had to fight with it, but don't know much about ATI
[14:36] <bulasd> somebody here know why save to file isn't woriking when i use php.exe -f <file> ? :)
[14:36] <N3oXid> Brandano: Ok ::)
[14:36] <HarryManback> hey
[14:36] <HarryManback> Anyone know if gparted with resize an ext3 partition?
[14:37] <FreeFull> How can I stop a package from appearing the in update window? I installed the debian version of amsynth because the ubuntu one crashed, and now the update dialog shows the ubuntu version as an update (the version numbers are the same)
[14:37] <N3oXid> HarryManback: I think it does.
[14:37] <ardchoille> FreeFull: it's not really a good idea to mix distro packages like that
[14:37] <HarryManback> N3oXid: OK. I know I will have to boot to a live CD becuase it is my system partition..
[14:38] <N3oXid> That's right :)
[14:38] <FreeFull> ardchoille: The Ubuntu version crashed when I tried to start it
[14:38] <FreeFull> The Debian version works.
[14:38] <NkZ> I am using Ubu8.04, Since I activated the NVIDIA drivers my resolution wont go over 1024*768. I have not found any resolution line on my XORG file, what could I do to increase my resolution over 1024 768?
[14:38] <ardchoille> FreeFull: Then it would be better to debug the app. I realize the debian version works but it's still not a good idea and now you're seeing why ;)
[14:39] <FreeFull> ardchoille: It's a problem with the gcc version used to compile the program
[14:39] <FreeFull> Same thing happened to zsnes
[14:39] <Brandano> NkZ: you can try and force a resolution by adding modelines to xorg.conf. Not sure if it still works like that on the latest xorg, a few things have been updated
[14:40] <NkZ> Brandano: Gonna try that.
[14:40] <ardchoille> FreeFull: How many other packages have you mixed like that? Could it be that mixing is causing some of these problems?
[14:40] <FreeFull> ardchoille: Only amsynth and zsnes.
[14:40] <FreeFull> No other packages
[14:40] <FreeFull> The problem was reported by other people
[14:41] <Brandano> NkZ: modes are read left to right, so put the one you want by default leftmost
[14:41] <Brandano> oops
[14:41] <FreeFull> Actually, I'm not quite sure if I mixed zsnes
[14:41] <Newbis> i have 60gb hd, 256 ram, can i install ubuntu?
[14:41] <Jophish> hi all
[14:41] <FreeFull> Newbis: Yes
[14:41] <Brandano> Newbis: barely
[14:41] <perlmonkey> yes
[14:41] <FreeFull> Newbis: I suggest you install Xubuntu
[14:41] <perlmonkey> i'm running ubuntu with 256mb and 20gb
[14:41] <Jophish> you might be best using xubuntu
[14:41] <FreeFull> It uses less memory
[14:42] <ardchoille> FreeFull: My advice would be to uninstall the debain packages and try to debug the crash, we really can't support debian packages on Ubuntu
[14:42] <perlmonkey> actually ubuntu is in 6gb partition only
[14:42] <Newbis> what's the diff?
[14:42] <perlmonkey> runs fine
[14:42] <Brandano> the ram is a little row. Forget compiz
[14:42] <Brandano> *low
[14:42] <Newbis> im totally noob here
[14:42] <FreeFull> ardchoille: Sure, uninstall amsynth and be left with no working sound synthesiser.
[14:42] <thief`> how come when i mount a usb thumb drive, i can not write to it?
[14:42] <morningwalker> i need someone to hell me to get my audio to play
[14:42] <FreeFull> The bug reports are already there
[14:42] <malcom2073> Question: I'm running ubuntu, and I'm having some weird issues.  When I play music in either rhythmbox or totem media player, the visualizations are blinky, and then I move another window infront of it, it overlays that window. Has anyone seen this issue before?
[14:42] <perlmonkey> 256MB is the minimum ram i would recommend, but i would not suggest running a heavy weight desktop like Gnome, or KDE, go for something lighter like xfce4
[14:42] <Brandano> perlmonkey: any desktop effects?
[14:42] <SimoneB> Hi. I accidentally deleted some files with rm in the terminal. How do I recover them?
[14:43] <Defrysk> SimoneB, you dont
[14:43] <ardchoille> SimoneB: you can't
[14:43] <perlmonkey> Brandano: i found Gnome with all the whistles and bells ran quite slow with 256MB, but Xfce4 runs fine
[14:43] <FreeFull> malcom2073: It's to do with desktop effects
[14:43] <malcom2073> FreeFull: Hmm, I'll look into that thanks.
[14:43] <cackharot> hello
[14:43] <FreeFull> malcom2073: Disabling the should do the trick
[14:43] <FreeFull> them*
[14:43] <Delvien> cackharot: hi
[14:44] <perlmonkey> In order to maximise disk space, I use NFS and have a centralised "home" filesystem on a server
[14:44] <malcom2073> Indeed that does do it heh
[14:44] <malcom2073> is this a known issue?
[14:44] <malcom2073> as in should I report it
[14:44] <artems> 1
[14:44] <artems> 2
[14:44] <artems> 3
[14:44] <artems> 4
[14:44] <FreeFull> malcom2073: It's a known issue
[14:44] <FloodBot1> artems: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:44] <cackharot> Delvien: hi
[14:44] <malcom2073> Bah heh ok
[14:44] <malcom2073> thanks Freefull
[14:44] <FreeFull> malcom2073: np
[14:44] <Brandano> SimoneB: when linux deletes files, it deletes them. It might just be possible to recover them if the space they used wasn't overwritten, but it's a pretty complex job
[14:44] <malcom2073> I like effects :(
[14:44] <perlmonkey> i found a huge difference between 256MB and 1GB of ram, even on older systems like P3...processor speed seems to have less impact on performance
[14:45] <cackharot> is there any AVR simulatar availabe for linux
[14:45] <perlmonkey> I've tried P3-600 and P4-2.4GHz, and Dual Core 1.6Ghz
[14:45] <Brandano> SimoneB: and it depends a lot on what filesystem you are using
[14:45] <cackharot> i googled but no hope
[14:45] <Yahovah> perlmonkey: Yeah, it's called not using swap and caching.
[14:45] <ardchoille> cackharot: AVR?
[14:45] <SimoneB> Brandano: well i could give it a try. i'm using ext3
[14:45] <cackharot> yeah i'm  programming MCU atmel avr
[14:46] <malcom2073> cackharot, : does avrstudio run in wine?
[14:46] <Brandano> SimoneB: http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html
[14:46] <FreeFull> cackharot: Try running VMLAB in Wine
[14:46] <cackharot> i use avrgcc and avrdude
[14:46] <FreeFull> cackharot: Apparently it works
[14:46] <cackharot> they work fine
[14:46] <pablo> what do i have to do to make ubuntu give internet from a server pc to my lan pc, y only can do it with proxies, something wrong in my firewall ?
[14:47] <cackharot> k but i feel uncomfortable with avrstudio
[14:47] <artems> hello
[14:47] <Yahovah> perlmonkey: Look at iptables.
[14:47] <Yahovah> err pablo
[14:47] <cackharot> is there any native linux platform for simulating avr
[14:47] <perlmonkey> Yahovah: don't use it
[14:47] <FreeFull> cackharot: Probably no
[14:47] <pablo> Yahovah, right, but i do not know what
[14:47] <cackharot> i tried simulavr
[14:48] <cackharot> but cant simulat ADC or UART etc..,
[14:48] <perlmonkey> i found iptables very complicated to use
[14:48] <FreeFull> cackharot: http://www.captain.at/electronic-linux-atmel-avr-simulator-gui-vmlab.php
[14:48] <Yahovah> pablo: http://www.howtoforge.com/nat_iptables
[14:48] <cackharot> FreeFull: thanks let me check
[14:48] <puneeth> i need someone to help me with audio problem in ubuntu 8.10
[14:48] <pablo> Yahovah, right, i read about, make some rules, but i cant get it working
[14:48] <FreeFull> puneeth: Sure, what's the problem?
[14:48] <perlmonkey> I used shorewall which is a kind of simpler way to manage iptables as a firewall, but then recently i decided to no longer use Linux as a router and switched to a hardware router
[14:49] <pablo> may be something help me to make the rule
[14:49] <perlmonkey> pablo: if you're using iptables I recommend Shorewall
[14:49] <pablo> mmh i use firestarter, its easy
[14:49] <puneeth> FreeFull, i am able to play music, all players run media, but nothing is audible... ive cross checked my speaks are volume, ive put them to max!!
[14:50] <cackharot> FreeFull: thank u very much I've to yet try this seems it will work fine
[14:51] <cackharot> FreeFull: VMLAB is good
[14:51] <FreeFull> puneeth: Press alt+f2, type in xterm, in the window that pops up write "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp" (without quotes), and tell me if you hear anything or get an error
[14:51] <FreeFull> cackharot: np
[14:51] <puneeth> even in system>preferences>sounds, the test dont play anything
[14:51] <shams> if i want to complete remove a compiled application, how can i do that?
[14:52] <FreeFull> puneeth: Try doing what I said and tell me what you get
[14:52] <puneeth> FreeFull' no sucess
[14:52] <puneeth> it working
[14:52] <puneeth> ive tried that many times
[14:52] <FreeFull> shams: You go to the directory with the source, and type make uninstall
[14:52] <FreeFull> puneeth: What do you get?
[14:53] <Brandano> puneeth: perhaps you have digital out enabled
[14:53] <artems> could anyone help me to install qt on ubuntu 8?
[14:53] <ralish> This may be a simple question, but, I need to prepend a kernel option when booting a ubuntu image, but the options line ends with "--" (two dashes)
[14:53]  * Brandano knows he did
[14:53] <ralish> should I just add after these two dashes, or erase them?
[14:53] <ralish> I'm not sure what they mean in the context of kernel boot options
[14:53] <puneeth> FreeFull, no output
[14:53] <cackharot> me and my friend are in same ISP and also same gateway. Is there any tool to watch the traffic in that default gateway
[14:53] <FreeFull> puneeth: Do you get an error?
[14:53] <puneeth> brandano, how do i disable it, just incase??
[14:53] <puneeth> FreeFull' No Output
[14:54] <cackharot> i just want to sniff his IP packets
[14:54] <c0cheeze> how do i make xchat autoload fish script when it starts. have to load it manually everytime i restart xchat
[14:54] <Brandano> puneeth: double click on the mixer icon, when the full mixer pops up you have 3 tabs at the top. Last one is "switches". See if there's a checkbox there. it varies depending on the soundcard
[14:54] <psynophile> hello, would there be any problem with switching my mdadm raid to using uuid's? I'm kind of tired of the kernel changing sd devices on me and it's causing my server not to boot..
[14:55] <en1gm4> hi all
[14:55] <puneeth> Brandano, where is the mixer icon??
[14:55] <en1gm4> I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10
[14:55] <en1gm4> I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and now my ati radeon 9600 does not work anymore... why?
[14:55] <cackharot> en1gm4: cool but i still have too
[14:55] <Brandano> puneeth: on my machine next to the clock
[14:56] <en1gm4> dont-
[14:56] <cackharot> en1gm4: is there any major improvement
[14:56] <en1gm4> don't do that cackharot
[14:56] <cackharot> en1gm4: ?
[14:56] <en1gm4> cackharot:  yest, what was working before the upgrade now it isn't...
[14:57] <Newbis> by installing xubuntu, can i create vhost for irc?
[14:57] <puneeth> Brandano, No luck with me, i have no such icon
[14:57] <cackharot> en1gm4: ho thanx
[14:57] <jim_p> anyone having a decent wallpaper he/she wants to share? i am bored of searching. now i have this on http://pincel3d.deviantart.com/art/Houston-104016724
[14:57] <shams> FreeFull: if i remove source directory so how can i do that?
[14:57] <cackharot> en1gm4: why cant u switch back
[14:57] <en1gm4> cackharot: i've an ati 9600, I had direct-rendeding and co... now I can just use 800x600 :O
[14:57] <FreeFull> jim_p: #ubuntu-offtopic?
[14:58] <Brandano> en1gm4: because you now got the new xorg, which still needs a few things to get fixed
[14:58] <FreeFull> shams: By downloading the source again
[14:58] <jim_p> they are silent FreeFull
[14:58] <ardchoille> !theme | jim_p More good theme stuff here:
[14:58] <en1gm4> cackharot: downgrade is not possible, I shoud reinstall
[14:58] <cackharot> en1gm4: ho thas awkful
[14:58] <Brandano> en1gm4: check the log for errors, usually that's the first step
[14:58] <en1gm4> Brandano: any way to downgrade that?
[14:58] <tealson> What do I have to consider If i change my grafic adapter from an ati onboard to a nvidia device? Do i have to deinstall a few driver or prapare Xorg somehowsomething?
[14:58] <jim_p> i have looked at gnome sites etc
[14:58] <Brandano> en1gm4: don't think so, but I am sure you can fix it
[14:59] <erUSUL> tealson: you just have to reconfigure Xserver
[14:59] <Brandano> en1gm4: try removing and reinstalling the radeon drivers
[14:59] <FreeFull> tealson: If you're using Ubuntu 8.10, you will probably have to disable the ati card in the bios and that's all
[14:59] <shams> exit
[14:59] <shams> quit
[14:59] <shams> :D
[14:59] <cackharot> en1gm4: post error on forum and wait for correction
[14:59] <reduz> Question! I change the network stuf in administration -> network, my IP from dynamic to static, however this doesn't get reflected in ifconfig, how can i make it take effect?
[14:59] <cackharot> en1gm4: reinstall sucks
[14:59] <Brandano> tealson: I did change from ati to nvidia. I suggest you remove the radeon drivers before removing the card
[15:00] <tealson> erUSUL: I have deinstalled everything with "ati" in it, can I tell Xorg in 8.10 to use the generic "vesa" driver, so that i can be sure my Xorg will start?
[15:00] <en1gm4> Brandano:  I fought with 8.04, the only way to make them works was with envyng, the is not envy version for 8.10
[15:00] <cackharot> en1gm4: all customization will go off like smoke
[15:00] <FreeFull> tealson: It probably will.
[15:00] <tealson> Brandano: already done ;)
[15:00] <en1gm4> cackharot: I may port my home, but it's not a "clean" work
[15:00] <Brandano> tealson: then it ought to be fairly painless
[15:00] <n8tuser> reduz-> how did you change from dynamic to static? and what commands you used?

[15:01] <cackharot> en1gm4: k
[15:01] <en1gm4> cackharot: in the form i saw lot of people complaining about this... I read that AFTER the upgrade obiovsly :O
[15:01] <Brandano> FreeFull: or he could plug the radeon card back in while he figures out the previous log :)
[15:01] <tealson> FreeFull: the problem is, my wireless nic does not work without network-manager in gnome ;-)
[15:01] <cackharot> en1gm4: so this is my luck
[15:01] <tealson> FreeFull: that's why I ask before i destroy my system :)
[15:01] <n8tuser> tealson-> have you tried using the command line?
[15:01] <FreeFull> tealson: You could do what Brandano said
[15:02] <cackharot> en1gm4: i actually prepared to upgrade 2morrow
[15:02] <Brandano> tealson: just don't snap the card in half until you are sure you'll get a GUI with Nvidia
[15:02] <en1gm4> cackharot: yes you're a lucky man xD
[15:02] <cackharot> en1gm4: for my friend too

[15:02] <cackharot> en1gm4: he ll kick my ass if it does work after upgrade
[15:02] <tealson> n8tuser: yep, it simply does not work, its a usb stick, which only works with network manager, but thats a different story.
[15:02] <en1gm4> cackharot: yes you should read common upgrade issue on the forum before the upgrade, I have to remember this next time
[15:02] <OzonW> Êòîíèòü ïî VPN ïîìîæåò?
[15:03] <cackharot> en1gm4: u saved my life man
[15:03] <tealson> i'll give it a try <- reboot
[15:03] <Brandano> Hmm, if the card is onboard, why not try and use both? Leave it a secondary

[15:13] <puneeth> toneman77, go to Volume Control, and put all values at PlayBack to the Highest

I am at a complete loss as to what to do, as with full brightness I cant get much battery life, and th
[15:16] <Jophish> is is the only thing stopping me switching to ubuntu permanently
[15:16] <anon__> the operating system is using the nvidia drivers, compiz effects are working

[15:45] <tpw_rules_> ive followed 2 guides at the suggestion of other users, but both fail to work
[15:45] <sgtmainguy> The default should work through browser, using a vnc viewer applet

Now, every time I try to install using the alt cd, or the server, I get to the partition editor nd the whole thing freezes us...sais it is out of memory so it kills the parted_
[15:47] <NoelJB> n9ne: System->Preferences->Remote Desktop
[15:47] <sedeki> How can I clear packages that isn't being used anymore?
[15:47] <erUSUL> !info deborphan
[15:47] <sgtmainguy> alien: are you using gtkparted?
[15:47] <n9ne> NoelJB, as i just said, im running ubuntu cli+openbox i don't have that menu nor do i have the app installed
[15:47] <n8tuser> sedeki-> apt-install autoremove
[15:48] <NoelJB> sedeki: aptitude/apt-get/etc can do it, you can also use the cruft removal tool in newer versions of Ubuntu
[15:48] <n9ne> NoelJB, but i need it installed, don't know what the package is called though
[15:48] <tpw_rules_> hey, im having a problem getting an atheros ar242x to work under ibex
[15:48] <tpw_rules_> ive followed 2 guides at the suggestion of other users, but both fail to work
[15:48] <ardchoille> NoelJB: where is this cruft removal tool?
[15:48] <NoelJB> n9ne: I believe that vino is the default.
[15:48] <n8tuser> sedeki-> oops its  apt-get autoremove
[15:49] <NoelJB> ardchoille: System->Administration->Cruft Remover in Intrepid
[15:49] <sedeki> NoelJB: thanks!
[15:49] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> you have the correct drivers loaded?
[15:49] <juser123> afternoon.  would someone kindly point my in the correct direction to get snd-virtmidi to show up as a valid sound card in alsa?
[15:49] <LetsGo67> How do I use two monitors in 8.10?
[15:49] <n9ne> NoelJB, that was it, thank you!
[15:49] <LetsGo67> !dualscreen
[15:49] <oim> thanks to every one
[15:49] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: not sure, both guides give different drivers
[15:49] <LetsGo67> !monitor
[15:49] <NoelJB> n9ne: qwlxomw
[15:50] <DVA5912> Buenos Dias
[15:50] <NoelJB> n9ne: welcome
[15:50] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> which one did you use though?
[15:50] <ardchoille> NoelJB: I thought that was removed just before release, I don't have it
[15:50] <riaal> Is there a way to use scp to get a file from a remote server?
[15:50] <MrCollins> !background
[15:50] <LjL> !fishing
[15:50] <juser123> !dual screens
[15:50] <DVA5912> Anyone know why I havfe an uggly Windows start button for my main menu icon? How do I change it
[15:50] <MrCollins> does anyone know where I can grab some backgrounds for ubuntu?
[15:50] <NoelJB> ardchoille: let me check.  I know that I have it.  I believe that it was renamed right before release.
[15:50] <LetsGo67> But how do I use two screens?
[15:51] <NoelJB> LetsGo67: NVIDIA or other?
[15:51] <LetsGo67> Intel
[15:51] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: one says use ath5k and the other is something like ath_pci
[15:51] <DVA5912> LetsGo67: what video processotr
[15:51] <LetsGo67> GMA X3100
[15:52] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> so you tried both? which dir did you install it at?
[15:52] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: i used make install
[15:52] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: but i unpacked and compiled in a dir in the home directory
[15:52] <LetsGo67> Can I get a Windows-like two screen setup please?
[15:53] <NoelJB> LetsGo67: if Screen Resolution doesn't help, neither can I.  I use nvidia, and it has its own tool.
[15:53] <DVA5912> that's sweet. I don't know anything off the top of my head. Have you looked though the Add/Remove thing checked oniline "How to make Ubuntu (your version) work two screen with a GMA X3100"?
[15:53] <LetsGo67> NoelJB isn't there another tool?
[15:53] <LetsGo67> like gnome-something-something or system-something-something?
[15:53] <NoelJB> LetsGo67: System->Preferences->Screen Resolution
[15:53] <ardchoille> NoelJB: I see system-cleaner and cruft in the repos
[15:53] <MrCollins> what is the dir that the backgrounds are located?
[15:53] <ardchoille> but they weren't installed with the system
[15:54] <ardchoille> MrCollins: /usr/share/backgrounds
[15:54] <MrCollins> is it /home/user/Pictures?
[15:54] <NoelJB> ardchoille: system-cleaner and system-cleaner-gtk are the ones installed here.
[15:54] <MrCollins> ardchoille, thanks!
[15:54] <DVA5912> Anyone know why I have an ugly Windows start button for my main menu icon? How do I change it
[15:55] <LetsGo67> I cannot set up individual resolutions.  Both monitors widescreen but runs at non-widescreen.
[15:55] <mobal> hello all
[15:55] <erUSUL> riaal: scp user@server:path/to/file /path/to/local/copy
[15:55] <purvesh> hi
[15:55] <ardchoille> DVA5912: you have to change the image named "start-here.png" : find /usr/share/icons -name start-here.png
[15:55] <LetsGo67> My laptop monitor is running at non-native res, the other monitor is all beige.
[15:56] <SpaceCow567> Anyone: Is there a fix for the sound in Intrepid Ibex yet? I've looked on the internet and some say it's  an out-of-date Alsamixer. Is this true?
[15:57] <PriceChild> SpaceCow567: a 'fix'? Mine is perfectly fine. Maybe if you describe the actual problem someone can help.
[15:57] <DVA5912> ardchoille: or I could have just went into gconf-editor and unchecked the use custom icon
[15:57] <SpaceCow567> PriceChild: My sound does not work with Flash Player (v10 I believe) and custom applications that I install from the Ubuntu repositories.
[15:57] <MrCollins> SpaceCow567, this place doesnt hand hold you
[15:58] <PriceChild> MrCollins: pardon?
[15:58] <MrCollins> SpaceCow567, I had the same problem and it had to do with me having 2 sound cards. my onboard and a audigy2 board
[15:58] <SpaceCow567> MrCollins:What does that mean?
[15:58] <PriceChild> MrCollins: This is a support channel.
[15:58] <NoelJB> SpaceCow567: I seem to recall that for 32 bit flash, there are some extra things you need for audio.
[15:58] <flaco> SpaceCow567: what sound card do you have?
[15:58] <MrCollins> PriceChild, yeah but it isnt meant to hand hold people, is it?
[15:58] <PriceChild> SpaceCow567: Where did you install flash from?
[15:58] <SpaceCow567> flaco: I think it's a Soundblaster
[15:58] <PriceChild> MrCollins: if that's what it takes, then fine.
[15:59] <dr_willis> MrCollins,  depends on who is in here at the time.. and their moods.. :) at least we can normally point people to a good guide or 2
[15:59] <SpaceCow567> PriceChild: got it from the Adobe site
[15:59] <MrCollins> PriceChild, no one holds my hand.....  but I do understand the need
[15:59] <PriceChild> SpaceCow567: remove that, and sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[15:59] <toneman77> i have no sound on a minimal install cd install. My lsmod: http://pastebin.com/d7fada423 and the lsmod from the  livecd that makes sound: http://pastebin.com/d405d3b69 anyone got an idea whats configured wrong here ?
[15:59] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> so you tried both? which dir did you install it at?  look in  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/wireless
[15:59] <findme> downloading ubuntu server
[15:59] <MrCollins> dr_willis, but doesnt that help everyone grow as a overall user? if they have to figure it out?
[15:59] <NoelJB> SpaceCow567: Aha!  And because you did, you didn't get those extra dependencies installed.
[15:59] <findme> ubuntu is based on debian right
[15:59] <DVA5912> ardchoille: Ij now oine more question. I think So stupid kid got on here and installed an xp theme on my machine. I just got through destroying the install kit and I destroyed the login theme, but its got some stupid splash of a windows xp pro login screen ugg. I think it the nautlush splash screen im not sure it's the one right before the system gives icons and such. anyway how do I revert it? or heck even change it
[16:00] <W8TAH> is it possible to install vmware-server on desktop systems (having a wm) or does it only work on servers?
[16:00] <dr_willis> MrCollins,  eventually they do figure it out.. or they give up...  so its all the same to me.
[16:00] <dr_willis> W8TAH,  you can install any services on a desktop machine. theres not a lot of 'differance'  in desktop and server.. (well theres some, but not that differnt)
[16:00] <W8TAH> ok
[16:00] <SpaceCow567> flash plugin nonfree is installed
[16:01] <W8TAH> cool - i would access it via the web interface again?
[16:01] <dr_willis> W8TAH,  the 'server install' has some different tweaks, and settin gs by default - is the 'core' differance.
[16:01] <LjL> !debian > findme    (findme, see the private message from ubottu)
[16:01] <dr_willis> W8TAH,  you should be able to access it as you normally do.
[16:01] <findme> LjL, thanks
[16:01] <W8TAH> ok
[16:01] <vegombrei> hi .. i just upgraded to intrepid ... do they have an update for azureus vuze ?
[16:01] <SpaceCow567> NoelJB: I got flash plugin nonfree, restarted mozilla, and it doesnt play sound on the youtube vids
[16:02] <SpaceCow567> NoelJB: Or any flash for that matter :(
[16:02] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: says it doesnt exist... bash: /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/ubuntu/wireless: No such file or directory
[16:02] <MrCollins> SpaceCow567, what I had to end up doing, was set in System -> Prefs -> Sound was 'OSS Sound System' to get my flash to work
[16:02] <NoelJB> vegombrei: Not to v4, so far.
[16:02] <dr_willis> vegombrei,  for programs like that - i tend to  download/install them for a single user.. that way the user can use the latest  versions.. and not mess with the rest of the system
[16:02] <SpaceCow567> MrCollins: Okay, I'll try
[16:02] <NoelJB> vegombrei: I installed it from the vuze site, instead.
[16:02] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> this exist  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/  ?
[16:03] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: apparently not
[16:03] <vegombrei> NoelJB: can i sudo apt-get vuze ??
[16:03] <SpaceCow567> MrCollins: Which one do I set to OSS Sound System?
[16:03] <NoelJB> SpaceCow567: do you have libflashsupport?
[16:03] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> this exist  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/  ?
[16:04] <SpaceCow567> NoelJB: let me open synaptic
[16:04] <MrCollins> SpaceCow567, the top 2, especially the Movies/Music selection
[16:04] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: yeah, it says its a directory
[16:04] <MrCollins> NoelJB, if he is using intrepid, he cant use that one, he needs the package  flashsupport-nonfree-extrasound
[16:04] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> the point here is to look for that driver below that directory
[16:04] <NoelJB> MrCollins: ok, thanks.
[16:05] <NoelJB> SpaceCow567: see above re: flashsupport-nonfree-extrasound
[16:05] <SpaceCow567> NoelJB: I have the one MrCollins said
[16:05] <MrCollins> so SpaceCow567 did you do sudo apt-get install flashsupport-nonfree-extrasound
[16:05] <MrCollins> SpaceCow567, oh ok
[16:05] <SpaceCow567> MrCollins: Yes, I've had it on my system
[16:05] <NoelJB> MrCollins: where is that package?  I don't see it in the intrepid repos
[16:06] <MrCollins> SpaceCow567, I had a bugger of a time getting it the sound to work but I finally got it to work
[16:06] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: there is a drivers directory, but there doesnt seem to be anything wireless related
[16:06] <MrCollins> NoelJB, I am not sure, let me check
[16:06] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> thats the reason it does not work, you dont have the drivers in the proper place?
[16:07] <SpaceCow567> MrCollins: Okay, I took your guys recommendations, let me test
[16:07] <MrCollins> NoelJB, its flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound
[16:07] <MrCollins> NoelJB, I made a mistake
[16:07] <toneman77> cu all
[16:07] <aremax> AREMAX
[16:08] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: ok, how do i get the drivers to the right place?
[16:08] <tpw_rules_> make install must be doing something wrong
[16:08] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> put it here   /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/wireless
[16:08] <rbd> hi guys. 8.10...installed snmpd ...however when I do an snmpwalk of the public zone, I'm missing all UCD-SNMP mibs for instance...I can't find a way to include these
[16:08] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: so i should make that directory?
[16:09] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> or  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/wireless
[16:09] <NoelJB> MrCollins: weird .. I run apt-cache show flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound and get nothing.
[16:09] <PeskyJ> I'm using unrar and it just says 'Failed' for all the files in the archive, any idea how to get an explanation as to what the failure is?
[16:10] <SpaceCow567> MrCollins: Changing the top 2 settings in sound to Open Sound System didn't help
[16:10] <MrCollins> NoelJB, reference this link http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound
[16:10] <NoelJB> MrCollins: I see it, but ... (see PM)
[16:10] <MrCollins> NoelJB, as far as knowing what depository it is on, I have no idea.... I did alot of adding to the list of repos.....
[16:11] <MrCollins> SpaceCow567, did you make sure firefox was dead?
[16:11] <MrCollins> killall firefox
[16:11] <NoelJB> MrCollins: you're looking at the debian repos.
[16:11] <SpaceCow567> MrCollins: Yes, I restarted firefox
[16:11] <Friend2> killall -9 MrCollins # Hehe
[16:11] <ardchoille> firefox-bin MrCollins
[16:11] <SpaceCow567> MrCollins: Although, there are about 4 different types of OSS in my sound preferences
[16:11] <NoelJB> MrCollins: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound  but I have that repos selected, and nothing.  You saw the error I pasted from apt-get
[16:12] <MrCollins> Friend2, I am learning
[16:12] <MrCollins> ardantus, what does firefox-bin do?
[16:12] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: hrm... what file would the driver be in under in the dir?
[16:12] <zrak> what is the command to bind streamtuner with audacious
[16:12] <MrCollins> SpaceCow567, Ok. I think this is beyond me man. I got it to work but I had to do alot to get it
[16:13] <Friend2> "MrCollins [n=brian@72.150.77.175] has quit ["Killed with signal nine."]
[16:13] <tpw_rules_> MrCollins: its the firefox binary
[16:13] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> your driver...
[16:13] <MrCollins> NoelJB, Why isnt there a single repository that has a master list?
[16:13] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: im using this guide http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-atheros-ar5007eg-or-ar242x-wireless-cards-may-be-other-models-working-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html
[16:13] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: and it says its ath5k
[16:14] <MrCollins> Friend2, lol!
[16:14] <SpaceCow567> MrCollins: Okay, I'll keep messing with it. That's what my brother always told me to do in Linux, lol
[16:14] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> so follow what they recommend
[16:14] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: ive tried all that and it wont work
[16:14] <tpw_rules_> thats why i came here
[16:14] <MrCollins> SpaceCow567, yeah I wish that it came pre-loaded and ready to go as a far as flash I think that is what keeps alot of users from making the 'switch'
[16:15] <MrCollins> I appreciate this channel, without this channel I think I would still be useing winblowz
[16:15] <Friend2> tpw_rules_: Welcome to hash Ubuntu!
[16:15] <exco> can I setup fstab to only force mounting an ntfs partition if errors occur?
[16:15] <tpw_rules_> Friend2: ??
[16:15] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> im not going to read that in its entirety, what have you done so far?
[16:15] <SpaceCow567> MrCollins: Haha, unforunately I still have to a bit since I need CAD programs that only work on windows
[16:15] <Friend2> exco: If you could, you probably wouldn't ask the question here, right?
[16:16] <exco> Friend2: :-)
[16:16] <NoelJB> MrCollins: might be an x86 vs x86_64 issue ...
[16:16] <Friend2> :)))
[16:16] <exco> so, Friend2 how do I go about it?
[16:16] <MrCollins> SpaceCow567, you cant run CAD in VirtualBox?
[16:16] <bdelin88> anyone know how to change the lock screen to the log in screen, i would rather view the pleasantries of my login window rather than the ugly lock screen panel... :)
[16:16] <SpaceCow567> MrCollins: what's virtual box?
[16:16] <Friend2> exco: Have you read "man 5 fstab" yet?
[16:16] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: ive downloaded and unpacked the drivers, installed the build tools, made the binaries, installed and loaded them, and when that didnt work, i blacklisted the old drivers like it said
[16:17] <MrCollins> !virtualbox
[16:17] <Friend2> !qemu
[16:17] <MrCollins> wait... it works like this.....
[16:17] <exco> no, but thanks, Friend2 - I will
[16:17] <MrCollins> !virtualbox | SpaceCow567
[16:17] <Friend2> exco: Its good reading, and a good start. :)
[16:17] <MrCollins> lol! thats cool
[16:17] <SpaceCow567> lol
[16:17] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> do you know the name of the driver you compiled?
[16:17] <Friend2> MrCollins: Yeah! :)
[16:17] <SpaceCow567> MrCollins: Thank you, I'll look into that
[16:18] <Friend2> !clue | MrCollins
[16:18] <MrCollins> lol
[16:18] <TechFrenzy> chmod question
[16:18]  * MrCollins knows he needs to get a clue
[16:18] <Friend2> TechFrenzy: man chmod
[16:18] <SpaceCow567> !monty python and the holy grail
[16:18] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: guide says its the 'latest ath5k driver'
[16:18] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> look in the directory where you downloaded  for files created after the "make" command
[16:18] <TechFrenzy> chmod 600 /home/demo/myDir/fileA means that the current user has read and write access, but not execute, right? And that the group that the current user is a part of has no access, along with anyone else.
[16:18] <ubuntu_todd> hello. I can not install vnc4viewer.
[16:18] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> driver are not named like that
[16:18] <TechFrenzy> Do I understand that correctly?
[16:18] <ubuntu_todd> Failed to fetch http://mirror.lupaworld.com/ubuntu/archive/pool/universe/v/vnc4/xvnc4viewer_4.1.+xorg1.0.2-0ubuntu7_i386.deb  302 Found
[16:18] <ubuntu_todd> E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[16:19] <Friend2> TechFrenzy: You're correct. :)
[16:19] <TechFrenzy> Coming from Windows, this is a newer concept to me :-)
[16:19] <pim> How would I remove a file from a usb stick. When I select it, and press delete it will 'remove' the file, but the drive will still have the same amount of data on it, only now it's invisible
[16:19] <Friend2> TechFrenzy: What would "chmod 604 fileB" do?
[16:19] <MrCollins> NoelJB, so the flashplugin doesnt work as a far as x86-64 is concerned? so your saying it wont work on a 64-bit system?
[16:19] <softwarejonas_> I need help with XGL/GLX. I am running a ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 Graphics card on my laptop. If I enter "glxinfo", I always get "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":20.0"." Most of graphical applications don't work either. I tried to install the ATI driver and fglrx, but on the newest version, my Graphics card seems to be not supported, so I locked the fglrx installation on a old one. Can someone help me, how to g
[16:20] <n8tuser> pim-> it has its own .Trash dir?
[16:20] <pim> Friend2 that makes the file executable
[16:20] <Friend2> pim: For whom?
[16:20] <ubuntu_todd> !update
[16:20] <xiangfu> how to remove the old kernel
[16:20] <pim> Friend2 for you
[16:20] <TechFrenzy> Friend2: Current user has read/write; his group has none; but other users outside the group have read access?
[16:20] <MrCollins> pim, If I am understanding, when you delete a file, it only deletes the header so that the OS doesnt recognize it any longer so it doesnt know a file exists... am I right?
[16:20] <erUSUL> pim: empty the trash
[16:20] <Friend2> pim: No..
[16:20] <MrCollins> pim,  I believe I am right or very close
[16:20] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: darn it wont build anymore
[16:20] <Friend2> TechFrenzy: You got it! :)
[16:21] <ChildrenOfBodom> pim : hold shift and delete to delete it
[16:21] <pim> ls -a shows a trash directory
[16:21] <Friend2> TechFrenzy: Other users, that are NOT in the same group, have read access :)
[16:21] <TechFrenzy> Friend2: I am getting the hang of it :-)
[16:21] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: i think i really screwed something up... make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[16:21] <NoelJB> MrCollins: they use 32 bit libraries and the ns wrapper, or there is the new 64 bit beta.  I've got each installed, one on Intrepid, the other on Jaunty.
[16:21] <Friend2> TechFrenzy: Thats cool :)
[16:21] <Friend2> TechFrenzy: Do you know about SUID yet?
[16:21] <TechFrenzy> Friend2: Ancillary question - how do I know what group a user is in?
[16:21] <NoelJB> But the sound extras appears to be missing for the 32 bit side.  Checking ...
[16:21] <MrCollins> NoelJB, what is the 'ns wrapper'?
[16:21] <Friend2> TechFrenzy: groups <user>
[16:21] <erUSUL> TechFrenzy: id
[16:21] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> try  make uninstall    hoping the Makefile had a uninstall target
[16:21] <TechFrenzy> got it.
[16:21] <TechFrenzy> Thanks.
[16:22] <TechFrenzy> I have heard of SUID
[16:22] <NoelJB> MrCollins: it is pulled in automatically when you install flashplugin-nonfree on a 64 bit system.
[16:22] <Friend2> TechFrenzy: erUSUL has a point .. id also shows the GUID .. so its actually better than "group" :)
[16:22] <TechFrenzy> something about setting permissions for a particular user id?
[16:22] <MrCollins> NoelJB, ah.
[16:22] <Friend2> erUSUL: Thanks for the tip!
[16:22] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: it uninstalls, but still doesnt build
[16:23] <TechFrenzy> Thanks too erUSUL
[16:23] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: i might have to reinstall ubuntu...
[16:23] <erUSUL> TechFrenzy: no problem
[16:23] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> i dont about that Makefile, you have to look inside it...
[16:23] <tpw_rules_> i just installed it last night so it wont be annoying
[16:23] <pim> Thanks guys, that mystery has been solved
[16:23] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> i dont know about that Makefile, you have to look inside it...
[16:24] <fg1184> does ubuntu server come with a gui??
[16:24] <erUSUL> Friend2: no
[16:24] <erUSUL> fg1184: no
[16:24] <Jophish> would anyone here be able to provide any insight into why the brightness of the screen doesnt work, I have a Samsung q310, the function buttons on the keyboard don't function 9the ones for volume do though) and I installed the gnome applet for changing the brightness, but I  can move the slider wherever I want, and nothing happens. I am at a complete loss as to what to do, as with full brightness I cant get much battery life
[16:24] <erUSUL> Friend2: sorry
[16:24] <exco> Friend2: guess I can't. I don't see an option like errors=force :-)
[16:25] <Friend2> exco: :)
[16:25] <fg1184> erUSUL: thanks, whats the difficulty level for setting up a web server?
[16:25] <IdleOne> !lamp > fg1184
[16:26] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: the uninstall process appears to just be a bunch of modprobe -l <driver> s, if thats what you mean
[16:26] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> nope, not just that, it should include removal of files in directories
[16:27] <erUSUL> fg1184: althought it has no gui you can install one if yiou want to
[16:27] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> man modprobe  and you'll note  -l  is for listing
[16:27] <NoelJB> MrCollins: I just checked my Intrepid with Youtube, and flash is working with sound as-is (which is what I thought I had, but wanted to check, since I keep 4 different versions installed at any given time)
[16:27] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: is this what you mean? @rm -rf $(KLIB)/$(KMODDIR)/net/mac80211/
[16:28] <fg1184> IdleOne: Thanks for the link, I will read that now.
[16:28] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> i dont know about that Makefile, you have to look inside it... if thats what they have, then it must be it
[16:28] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: yeah thats whats there
[16:28] <fg1184> erUSUL: i only have ms-dos experience, i will give it a go, i just installed ubuntu server on a dell poweredge 2500..
[16:28] <IdleOne> fg1184, no problem. It looks alot harder then it is.

[16:28] <softwarejonas_>  I need help with XGL/GLX. I am running Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 on a IBM Thinkpad 40 and an ATI Mobility FireGL 9000 graphics card. If I enter "glxinfo", I always get "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":20.0"." Most of graphical applications don't work either. I tried to install the ATI driver and fglrx, but on the newest version, my graphics card seems to be not supported, so I locked the fglrx installation on a old
[16:29] <PsiKlopx> I'm having trouble getting my usb Logitech headset to work.  I've tried using the Pulseaudio Applet based on info found on on the forums, but it doesn't recognize the headset.
[16:29] <MrCollins> NoelJB, Man I had such a hard time getting flash to work... but I have 2 sound cards onboard and a augidy2
[16:30] <NoelJB> MrCollins: and the audio support file I was looking for is /var/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
[16:30] <Patry> hello
[16:30] <NoelJB> that's where they "hid" it.  :)
[16:30] <Patry> como entro en ubuntu.es
[16:30] <frozenix> softwarejonas_, I do believe the current fglrx driver does not support older cards.  ATI removed support for a number of older cards in newer drivers.  I would suggest you check to see if that is the case.
[16:30] <fg1184> Friend2: What is that?
[16:30] <vnx> ciao
[16:30] <Oneiroii> Morning everyone!
[16:31] <NoelJB> again, that's because I'm running 32 bit flash on 64 bit linux with Intrepid.  If you're 32 bit, it would be different.
[16:31] <vnx> come si fa ad utilizzare hostap?
[16:31] <softwarejonas_> frozenix: thank you
[16:31] <Friend2> fg1184: DOS command to wipe your current harddrive for files. :)
[16:31] <fonzarelli> !it | vnx
[16:31] <PsiKlopx> I'm trying to get the usb headset to work without removing Pulse as some sites are saying.  Is it possible?
[16:31] <frozenix> softwarejonas_, np.  you may need to use an older fglrx or the open source driver.  You ought to be able to find a list of cards supported by the current driver on ATI's site I'd imagine.  I use nvidia myself, so I can't tell you exactly where to look, but google ought to help :)
[16:31] <vnx> how can i use hostapd?
[16:32] <Friend2> fg1184: Quite useful command if you want to joke around windowspeople. :)
[16:32] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: grr i guess ill just reinstall ubuntu
[16:32] <Konsole> O.o
[16:32] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> its your choice, did you read that link ? method 1 or method 2  you used?
[16:33] <paradroid> Does anyone have a solution for the CUPS-PDF printing issues in Intrepid, i. e. cups-pdf can't create files in $home because of insufficient rights?
[16:33] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: 1 and then 2
[16:33] <Oneiroii> So, random question of the day for me: Is anyone familiar with a way to get the device "15c2:0043" (Soundgraph iMon Mini Remote) to work with LIRC?
[16:33] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: and i just installed it last night so im not losing anything
[16:33] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> okay,
[16:33] <MrCollins> NoelJB, why would they hide it?
[16:34] <softwarejonas_> frozenix: thanx, i'm going to try to use the latest supported driver. worst case: back to vga and install the older driver :)
[16:34] <frozenix> softwarejonas_, sounds like a plan :)
[16:34] <vegombrei> hi .. i need help connecting my bluetooth headset to ubuntu
[16:34] <vnx> thanks ubottu
[16:34] <n8tuser> paradroid-> think about whose doing the writing, the owner of that $home  ?
[16:34] <NoelJB> MrCollins: "hid" loosely speaking.  They squirreled away a private copy in a non-intuitive location.  :)
[16:35] <MrCollins> I see
[16:35] <MrCollins> NoelJB, why is flash support such a hard thing in linux? is it because it is a patented program?
[16:36] <egc> hi all

[16:37] <tealson> fg1184:  restart?
[16:37] <ubuntu_todd> sudo reboot
[16:37] <Myrtti> fg1184: the whole computer?
[16:37] <Konsole> sudo reboot
[16:37] <Guest56415> im a new user, i just installed all the updates, now what is the next thing to do?
[16:37] <Konsole> bleh.. beat me to it
[16:37] <PeskyJ> to install new fonts in ubuntu, do I just copy them to /usr/share/fonts, and do I have to organise them like that directory is organised?
[16:38] <Myrtti> Guest56415: fiddle around and check what software you might be missing
[16:38] <fg1184> thanks.. will try to take some courses before i attempt this again :P
[16:38] <fg1184> cheers everyone
[16:38] <anotrnick> I tried to upgrade to 8.10, but failed where get channels

[16:38] <Friend2> hehe fg1184
[16:38] <anotrnick> could any one help
[16:38] <Guest56415> yea 8.10 dont work for i tried installing blah didnt work
[16:38] <MrCollins> fg1184, I think its shutdown -h now
[16:38] <Guest56415> installed 8.04 worked like a charm
[16:38] <sirioth> Anyone know anything about my escape character problem?
[16:38] <Friend2> fg1184: Its a step learning curve ..

[16:39] <Neremor> hello!
[16:39] <vegombrei> has anyone successfully connected a bluetooth headset to ubuntu ? i need help with mine
[16:39] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: actually, it might be something else, because there is a wireless section in the network applet, but it shows no networks and i cant connect to any even when i enter the information
[16:39] <ubuntu_todd> vegombrei: I do
[16:39] <tealson> Oneiroii: mhh i have to add the key in the config file, not the password itself, do i?
[16:39] <Friend2> fg1184: Once you get the hang of it, however, its really downhill a lot though.
[16:39] <lime4x4> weird graphics problem when running multi screens http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=52441906
[16:39] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: that only happens with the drivers installed
[16:39] <fg1184> "/bin/sh: not found"
[16:39] <n8tuser> for those that are new to ubuntu or linux, kindly do a tutorial on introduction to linux please.
[16:39] <Neremor> i've a short question about FLAC, i didn't find any channel where my question really belongs to
[16:39] <ubuntu_todd> vegombrei:  I transfer data from my laptop to my cellphone

[16:39] <MrCollins> fg sudo shutdown -h now
[16:39] <paradroid> n8tuser: Well, I only have - let's call it - rudimentary understanding of ownership, rights, etc. but it is cups-pdf trying to create a file in the user's home dir/PDF
[16:39] <Friend2> fg1184: That could indicate a problem of some importance. ;)

[16:40] <MrCollins> NoelJB
[16:41] <Starnestommy> Friend2: /wc or /window close
[16:41] <n8tuser> paradroid-> think of it as  cups-pdf is a different user as user1,   cups-pdf user can not just write to ~user1/   directory
[16:41] <Oneiroii> tealson: Good thing I prefaced with grain-of-salt, then :)

[16:42] <firstus> To anyone: How do we download winrar so we can extract files?
[16:42] <paradroid> n8tuser: OK, I understand that. If I set my home dir to be also writable by others cups-pdf won't complain (obviously) and finish the printing job. But is that a solution?
[16:42] <firstus> cuz i cant install winrar for some reason
[16:42] <fg1184> to be completly honest i have no idea what i was doing, just trying to reboot the system now to dual boot into windows
[16:42] <tpw_rules_> firstus: well first of all, winrar is windows
[16:42] <lime4x4> firstus: sudo apt-get install rar unrar
[16:42] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> you can verify with lsmod |grep drivername   if the driver was loaded
[16:42] <Jaguar48h> Hello all
[16:42] <fg1184> oh snap ctr+alt+del worked :)
[16:42] <firstus> lime4x4: where would i put this?
[16:42] <ubuntu_todd> sudo apt-get install rar unrar
[16:42] <lime4x4> command line
[16:43] <ubuntu_todd> ternimal or konsole
[16:43] <firstus> Lime: how wud i get to terminal-srry im a first user
[16:43] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: it was loaded, but it still did the same thing
[16:43] <MrCollins> !webcam software
[16:43] <MrCollins> !kopete
[16:43] <lime4x4> applications acc terminal
[16:43] <tpw_rules_> firstus: applications -> accessories -> terminal in gnome
[16:43] <PeskyJ> !fonts
[16:43] <ubuntu_todd> application>accessory>ternimal
[16:43] <n8tuser> paradroid-> cups-pdf is an application, who is the effective owner of it when it was run?
[16:44] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> what is the same thing?
[16:44] <MrCollins> I am about to tackle a kopete installation but before I do does anyone know of a IM client that will allow my logitech webcam to work?
[16:44] <firstus> lime4x4: thank you
[16:44] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> what did you do to test the wifi nic ?
[16:44] <lime4x4> np
[16:44] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: what i was describing, with the wireless section but no networks, and trying to manually enter the info still wont connect it
[16:44] <firstus> lime4x4: howd u know that command, is their a place where they have a set of commands?
[16:45] <relik77> hey
[16:45] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> lets do this step by step, did you do the lsmod ?  and found the name of the driver? what is the name of the driver?
[16:45] <ubuntu_todd> firstus: you just type some command and the system would tell some package to install that command
[16:45] <relik77> could someone tell me how to fix the screen resolution
[16:45] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: i think it cant properly turn on the wireless card. my laptop has a slider to turn it on and off, and it worked fine in windows
[16:45] <relik77> i cant seem to find my setting
[16:45] <firstus> ah ok thank you

[16:45] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> is the slider even on  on the turn on state and not on the turn off state?
[16:45] <ubuntu_todd> firstus: for example you type vnc4viewer
[16:46] <firstus> ubuntu_todd: in terminal rite?
[16:46] <ubuntu_todd> firstus: yes. and the system would tell you some packages containing this command
[16:46] <n8tuser> paradroid-> hang a few..
[16:47] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: its a slider, not a switch, so it toggles and there is no definitive state. lsmod has ath5k in the listing
[16:47] <ubuntu_todd> firstus: then you can use sudo apt-get install package to install
[16:47] <paradroid> n8tuser: Sure :) Take your time and figure out the WLAN-thing first. :)
[16:47] <relik77> hey please
[16:47] <Jaguar48h> I have a problem while i am surfing the Internet, evrything becomes very slow. but with xp, the same sites goes much faster without any troubels!

[16:48] <ubuntu_todd> Jaguar48h:  IP problem?
[16:48] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: what i mean is that i cant really tell if its on or off, except for a light which wont turn on, but it makes me think its a driver problem because if it was a power switch, it would work in both win and linux
[16:48] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> okay, now if you do   sudo iwlist ath0  scan  do you get anything?
[16:48] <Jaguar48h> no, its the browser speed
[16:49] <ceil420> which browser?
[16:49] <ubuntu_todd> vegombrei: desktop? My case is laptop.
[16:49] <n8tuser> Jaguar48h-> perhaps you can disable your flash plugin
[16:49] <Jaguar48h> its like my computer have a virus !
[16:49] <Jaxxon> hi I have added the kubuntu 8.10 cd rom to my repo, but when I run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop it wants to download it from internet, I want to install kde from cd rom
[16:49] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: 'interface ath0 doesnt support scanning'
[16:49] <n8tuser> Jaguar48h-> also check your  /etc/resolv.conf  to make sure the nameserver is correct
[16:49] <tealson> Oneiroii: i got the error... stupid me, i had to stop network manager first
[16:49] <Jaguar48h> I use firefox 3.0.4
[16:50] <Oneiroii> tealson: LOL, ok
[16:50] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> that tells me you dont have a working driver  loaded , a driver loaded but non-functional one
[16:51] <paradroid> n8tuser: You want the whole thing or just a certain portion of it? (thx for helping, btw)
[16:51] <n8tuser> paradroid-> umm the ones without the comments #
[16:51] <n8tuser> paradroid-> but sinc eyou are posting, paste the whole thing

[16:51] <vallhalla81> !botsnack
[16:52] <Jaguar48h> n8tuser. once the electricy shuted  down and my pc turned off suddenly. could it be the cause to these behavier?
[16:53] <DaveKong> Is there some way to prevent the panel menu from being edited after setting it up? e.g. for a guest account
[16:53] <paradroid> n8tuser: well, that would leave me with 4 lines of set variables. :)
[16:53] <n8tuser> Larrxi-> gksu displayconfig-gtk    and then modify accordingly
[16:54] <n8tuser> Jaguar48h-> i doubt it if its the main cause, but it could be anything
[16:54] <RugB> hello.
[16:54] <n8tuser> paradroid-> post them
[16:54] <jamil_1> Are there alternative to grub ?
[16:54] <RugB> no
[16:54] <ceil420> jamil_1, there's LILO
[16:55] <ceil420> i prefer GRUB, though
[16:55] <jamil_1> How can I install it ?
[16:55] <RugB> I'm having trouble with ubuntu.
[16:55] <jamil_1> or replace grub ?
[16:55] <Raziel2p> is there some way to get the calendar that pops up when you click the time display to import data from thunderbird's lightning rather than evolution's calendar?
[16:55] <ceil420> dunno to be honest, i've never replaced the boot loader
[16:55] <jamil_1> ok
[16:55] <Jaxxon> have added the kubuntu 8.10 cd rom to my repo, but when I run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop it wants to download it from internet, I want to install kde from cd rom
[16:55] <Jaguar48h> could it be the site it self ?
[16:55] <DaveKong> jamil_1, you probably don't want to use lilo but you could use some other interface to grub if you want to make things prettier
[16:56] <paradroid> n8tuser: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d51ec1fa0
[16:56] <Nith> Jaxxon: System-->Administration-->Software Sources ... uncheck everything and check the CD
[16:56] <NetEcho> is there a way to have more then 4gb of ram on the 32bit version of Ubuntu?
[16:56] <jamil_1> DaveKing: Grub loads very slowly
[16:56] <exodus_ms> jamil_1, did you ever get ubuntu-desktop installed?
[16:56] <ceil420> wish i did know how to change the boot loader; i wanna go from lilo to grub :x
[16:56] <Meiz_n810> Hi! what's the command to start ubuntu-mobile on interpid?
[16:57] <jamil_1> exodus_ms: nope
[16:57] <Myrtti> NetEcho: is there a way to have more than 4gb of ram on the 32bit version of Windows? does that answer your question?
[16:57] <Larrxi> n8tuser, gksu displayconfig-gtk does nothing
[16:57] <Brandano> Hmm, how do I unmount --bind mounts?
[16:57] <NetEcho> Myrtti the answer is yes for Windows
[16:57] <DaveKong> jamil_1,  it takes long time for grub to appear or takes a long time to load after you make a selection?
[16:57] <n8tuser> paradroid-> looks exactly as mine
[16:57] <Myrtti> NetEcho: oohh, url or it didn't happen
[16:57] <NetEcho> but I've heard that Ubuntu doesn't have support with 32bit from other people
[16:57] <kim_> hi
[16:57] <RugB> I put my machine (with newly installed ubuntu) on hibernate last night, to find upon boot a prompt for login and password, I obliged, it entered a prompt-mode reminiscent of MS-DOS.
[16:57] <Konsole> NetEcho, from what ive seen ubuntu only supports up to 4gb
[16:57] <Jaguar48h> Do I need antivirus program for my Ubuntu ?
[16:57] <Konsole> NetEcho, but then again i could be wrong
[16:57] <jamil_1> DaveKing: It takes long time for grub to appear
[16:57] <n8tuser> Larrxi-> did a window popped up?
[16:57] <paradroid> n8tuser: Was afraid you'd say that. :) Stupid noobie question: what is the default chmod of a home dir?
[16:57] <NetEcho> Myrtti enable Physical Address Extension it's been arround forever before 64bit even existed
[16:58] <exodus_ms> jamil_1, did you get the msg from LjL about sources.list?
[16:58] <Brandano> NetEcho: 32 bit windows will boot with 4 Gig, but will at most use 3
[16:58] <vegombrei> hi how do i connect my bluetooth headset to ubuntu ?
[16:58] <Myrtti> Jaguar48h: not unless you serve files to Windows machines with it
[16:58] <jamil_1> exodus_ms: yes
[16:58] <NetEcho> Myrtti how else do you supposed old servers pre-64bit had 64gigs of ram?
[16:58] <n8tuser> paradroid-> drwxr-xr-x
[16:58] <Pasha> Yo, I have a problem with booting Linux. Some motherboards with the P35 chipset fail to boot linux with an IRQ_Poll error. Do you guys know of a kernal that does work with my Motherboard
[16:58] <jamil_1> exodus_ms: But i still have installed GNOME
[16:58] <RugB> Brandano-- it will use 3.5Gb
[16:58] <Brandano> NetEcho: and it needs a patch to do even that otherwise it won't boot with more than 2GB
[16:58] <NetEcho> Brandano I'm aware but I know with Windows you can enable PAE to use more than 4gb of Ram
[16:58] <KEBA> how to enable universe in kubuntu?
[16:58] <Meiz_n810> what's the command to start ubuntu-mobile on interpid?
[16:59] <Brandano> Nope, not to use them
[16:59] <Brandano> only to ignore the error at boot
[16:59] <exodus_ms> jamil_1, ok, was just curious if you got things to work.
[16:59] <NetEcho> Brandano on top of that it reads 3.5 but thats because .5 of that is reserved for the bios
[16:59] <eugman> Is there ny editable file that contains screen resolution preference? I've messed up my resolution and I'm having trouble fixing it with xrandr
[16:59] <NetEcho> as is with 64bit just the OS reads the physical memory present not the ammount accessable by the OS
[16:59] <jamil_1> exdus_ms: I followed the link u posted
[16:59] <softwarejonas_> when i enter "sudo echo 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan" to change the fan speed of my thinkpad, it returns "permission denied"... even though the owner is root,

[17:00] <NetEcho> I'm guessing the Ubuntu kernel was compiled with the memory option set to less than 4gb for 32bit
[17:00] <softwarejonas_> Brandano: i am not sure, but i think i remember that it was possible to control speed, too
[17:00] <ceil420> softwarejonas_, try su -c 'echo 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan'
[17:00] <n8tuser> softwarejonas_-> whats the perms of   proc/acpi/ibm/fan  ?
[17:00] <ceil420> using root's password, not your own
[17:00] <Brandano> NetEcho: nope, it just can't address more than that
[17:01] <Jaxxon> Nith: I do this, but It doesn't work
[17:01] <RugB> I don't want to have to go back to windows!!!
[17:01] <NetEcho> Brandano the 2.6 kernel can in 32bit mode it even has an option for it
[17:01] <W8TAH> anyone here using VMWARE on Intrepid? -- im having issues getting access i browse to https://127.0.0.1:8333 and nothing appears in the browser
[17:01] <W8TAH> can anyone help?
[17:01] <NetEcho> which would be PAE
[17:01] <jamil_1> DaveKing: any help to speed up grub or replacing it with lilo ?
[17:01] <ceil420> (or Brandano may be right; i just know how to use root permissions in general, not how to handle /proc)
[17:01] <DaveKong> jamil_1, take a look at this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=254263
[17:01] <n8tuser> W8TAH-> are you serving on that port?
[17:01] <Brandano> W8TAH: https specifies the port to be used already
[17:01] <NetEcho> PAE has been available since the Pentium pro
[17:01] <Larrxi> n8tuser, no window :(
[17:01] <softwarejonas_> n8tuser: how do i get them? nautilus says "root: read and write"
[17:02] <Brandano> W8TAH: it won't work on anything other than 443
[17:02] <Raziel2p> is there some way to get the calendar that pops up when you click the time display to import data from thunderbird rather than evolution's calendar?
[17:02] <W8TAH> Brandano: ok
[17:02] <NetEcho> "The Linux kernel includes full PAE support starting with version 2.6,[3] enabling access of up to 64 GB of memory on 32-bit machines."
[17:02] <Brandano> W8TAH: try http
[17:02] <RugB> Can I get help?  I'm having trouble booting off of my HDD to the ubuntu GUI, it just gives me a text prompt right now.
[17:02] <softwarejonas_> ceil420: doesnt work
[17:02] <Jaguar48h> I have winxp installed on the same hard disk . so, do I need antivirus ander ubuntu ?
[17:02] <n8tuser> Larrxi-> click on  System --> Administration -> Screens and Graphics
[17:03] <n8tuser> softwarejonas_-> use the command   ls -la
[17:03] <Larrxi> n8tuser, i got nothing like that - they removed it on intrepid
[17:03] <ceil420> softwarejonas_, maybe you can't write to the file. check it's permissions with n8tuser's command
[17:03] <Nith> Jaxxon: then "cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/sources.list;  gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" uncomment the line that looks like "cdrom: " and comment all others
[17:03] <Khisanth> NetEcho: the Desktop version doesn't have it enabled but the Server version does
[17:04] <softwarejonas_> n8tuser: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-30 12:03 /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
[17:04] <_ykram> any recommendations for a usb hybrid dvb-t stick :)
[17:04] <n8tuser> Larrxi-> if you type  display  and press tab twice  do you get the list of commands starting with display ?
[17:04] <Jaxxon> Nith: I do this too, but it doesn't work
[17:04] <NetEcho> Khisanth thanks
[17:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Jaguar48h only to protect your windows install ..
[17:05] <n8tuser> softwarejonas_-> sometimes only a kernel is allowed on those /proc files
[17:05] <Kevin_Hampton> i need some help! im about to give up my project
[17:05] <Nith> Jaxxon: once you've done that, make sure synaptic is closed, do "sudo apt-get update", then open synaptic again
[17:05] <n8tuser> softwarejonas_-> maybe that is one of those that the kernel would not allow you
[17:05] <Kevin_Hampton> im currently running the ubuntu distro and im trying to set a media center, the problem is my nvidia drivers are not installing correctly, they only display 648X480
[17:06] <Jaguar48h> thank you Jack_Sparrow, and to all whom answered my quistions
[17:06] <softwarejonas_> n8tuser: is there any way to tell the kernel to write?
[17:06] <n8tuser> Kevin_Hampton-> have you tried the liveCd yet?
[17:06] <Larrxi> n8tuser, i get no commands
[17:06] <Kevin_Hampton> i have not
[17:06] <n8tuser> softwarejonas_-> i dont know, am not a kernel developer
[17:06] <sinagogue> kServ identify *h3lois@*
[17:06] <n8tuser> Larrxi-> what exactly you typed?
[17:07] <DaveKong> jamil_1, Did you get that link? I have trouble seeing what you type because you are not spelling my name right
[17:07] <Huffameg> hi! how can use CMYK-colors in GIMP?
[17:07] <Larrxi> n8tuser, display followed by 2 tabs
[17:07] <Kevin_Hampton> where can i find this live cd? i tried the envy app, and its also displaying my monitor as CRT, so its not detecting right. i have not been able to run the command line to edit the xorg, it only gives me keyboard options
[17:07] <softwarejonas_> n8tuser: thanx, i think i found a solution. i had to add an option line to modprobe.c
[17:07] <Jaxxon> Nith: when I type sudo apt-get update I see this : http://phpfi.com/383723
[17:07] <Brandano> Huffameg: badly
[17:07] <n8tuser> softwarejonas_-> cool
[17:07] <Huffameg> Brandano: how do you mean?
[17:07] <Brandano> Huffameg: CYMK support for Gimp is still pretty bad
[17:08] <[biabia]> opinions? is this a good deal/decent pc? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9050055&type=product&id=1218012612475

[17:08] <niemer05> hey guys, i need help
[17:08] <Kevin_Hampton> rug alt+ctrl+F7 have you tried this?
[17:08] <Huffameg> Brandano: okay.. what do i do, then? if i have an image in RGB, is it easy to convert it to CMYK in for example photoshop?
[17:08] <jamil_1> I have read first link
[17:09] <RugB> kevin> not yet, I'm new to Linux
[17:09] <Fougner> !questions | niemer05
[17:09] <Kevin_Hampton> ok that is the keystroke to get into GNOME
[17:09] <Brandano> Huffameg: yes, but I think GIMP can save CYMK formats too. the problem is that it won't work in CYMK, it will still handle images as RGB
[17:09] <Nith> Jaxxon: it appears you're looking for the utility apt-cdrom; I've never used it myself by i'm guessing "apt-cdrom -d=/mount/cdrom0" (or other cdrom location)
[17:09] <niemer05> i put ubuntu on an external hdd, and now whenever i turn on my laptop, i have to have the external hdd plugged in, and tell it where to boot to, how can i fix this?
[17:09] <paradroid> n8tuser: OK, after considering several posts on forums, I purged/reinstalled cups* and now manually created the PDF directory. No more complaints so far. Thx for your support.
[17:09] <n8tuser> Larrxi-> sudo  apt-get install displayconfig-gtk
[17:09] <Kevin_Hampton> you will need to edit the init file in order to boot to GNOME permanently
[17:10] <Kevin_Hampton> ^for rugb
[17:10] <niemer05> if someone knows how to fix this, pm me please
[17:10] <n8tuser> paradroid-> great...your persistence paid off
[17:10] <dj_def> I have a 2.6.24.7-rt21 kernel, where can I find the patch to apply for apparmor?
[17:10] <Fougner> niemer05, you have problem to boot the internal HDD when the external HDD is unplugged?
[17:10] <RugB> kevin> where can I find info on editing said file?
[17:10] <Nith> niemer05: It sounds like you installed the boot loader onto the external HDD
[17:11] <DaveKong> If you want lilo or GAG see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96920 and http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/01/19/howto-install-gag-on-a-default-ubuntu-box/
[17:11] <Huffameg> Brandano: okay.. so.. if i save it in cmyk and then send it to the publisher, that won't be a problem?
[17:11] <Brandano> Huffameg: found this forum post, might be relevant: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=881312

[17:11] <Nith> niemer05: Although it sounds like thats the problem, I don't know how to install grub after the installer
[17:12] <Kevin_Hampton> you will have to change the runlevel to something other than command line
[17:12] <DaveKong> jamil_1, look up a couple comments
[17:12] <Brandano> Huffameg: yep, you should be fine. I find it odd that the publisher can't do the conversion himself
[17:12] <Buncho> ugh... transitioning off of mirc to xchat has been a bit annoying
[17:12] <Oneiroii> LOL @ mIRC
[17:12] <Oneiroii> The good old days
[17:12] <DaveKong> jamil_1, I suggest trying to speed up grub before trying a different boot loader
[17:13] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: ok, so what driver do i need to install, or how do i properly install the one i have>
[17:13] <Huffameg> Brandano: okay.. so it doesn't matter in which format the image is made
[17:13] <jamil_1> DaveKong: Grub itself takes longer to appear
[17:13] <NetM> Hello all
[17:13] <Gubbpipa> hello
[17:13] <Larrxi> n8tuser, not available, they removed screens and graphics (displayconfig-gtk) on intrepid ibex also known as ubuntu 8.10
[17:14] <Kevin_Hampton> someone told me to check out the livecd. i can already run ubuntu off the cd, how would this work any better for installing nvidia drivers?
[17:14] <DaveKong> jamil_1, when did the problem appear?
[17:14] <jamil_1> DaveKong, I have to see for a long time: GrubLoading stage1.5
[17:14] <niemer05> hey sorry nith, i didnt see your responce
[17:14] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> you have the link on the solution?  check the name of the file created after the "make" command , i dont know the name myself.. check before and after the make
[17:14] <Brandano> Huffameg: don't know. ask the publisher. Using CYMK will probably give a greater color range
[17:14] <Nith> niemer05: It sounds like you installed the boot loader onto the external HDD
[17:14] <Nith> niemer05: Although it sounds like thats the problem, I don't know how to install grub after the installer
[17:14] <Nith> last things I said ;p
[17:14] <Larrxi> Kevin_Hampton, you can install nvidia drivers and then ctrl+alt+backspace and the nvidia drivers will be loaded without a restart
[17:14] <niemer05> alrighty
[17:14] <niemer05> thanks
[17:14] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: but it wont compile any more :(
[17:15] <jamil_1> DaveKong,: When I messed grub installing Windows(dual boot)
[17:15] <Nith> niemer05: look into installing grub and do it on your non-external... that'll fix your prob
[17:15] <n8tuser> Larrxi-> sudo  apt-cache search displayconfig-gtk   does not list it?  if they have removed it, then i dont know what the replacement is
[17:15] <RugB> how do I get it to always boot into ubuntu?
[17:15] <niemer05>  when my external is plugged in, i have to tell it where to boot from, but, if its not plugged in, it wont boot at all and gives me an error, 21 i think
[17:15] <Kevin_Hampton> i have tried something like this larrxi, but nvidia returns the option that my kernel needs to be modified and everytime it tries it fails
[17:15] <Jophish> would someone be able to help me enable cpu frequency scaling?
[17:15] <DaveKong> jamil_1, oh... when you switch to dual boot the default times goes to 30 seconds you can shorten that
[17:15] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> why not? what errors are you getting if any?
[17:15] <Oneiroii> jamil_1: Personal experience suggests that, when the option is available, installing Windows before Linux makes multi-booting easier
[17:15] <Brandano> oh, that reminds me, how should I go about reinstalling windows on the windows partition of a multiboot setup?
[17:16] <Kevin_Hampton> INSTALL WINDOS FIRST Brando
[17:16] <Brandano> Kevin_Hampton: reinstall
[17:16] <jamil_1> DaveKong,: Yes I did that but my windows became corrupt
[17:16] <alex_21> You should reintall Windows, then use tehe live cd to do a grub fix
[17:16] <Brandano> Kevin_Hampton: means it's already there
[17:16] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: im getting this: "make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/build: No such file or directory.  Stop. make: *** [modules] Error 2"
[17:16] <Nith> RugB: in /boot/grub/menu.lst there is a line "default 0" change 0 to whatever your ubuntu is
[17:16] <Huffameg> Brandano: great. thanks
[17:16] <Brandano> alex_21: makes sense, windows should already be on the primary
[17:17] <Nith> RugB: numbering starts at 0 and goes up per line that you would see... atleast thats how I interpret it
[17:17] <imme-emosol> meh.
[17:17] <RugB> Nith: how do I find where that is?
[17:17] <imme-emosol> My computer keeps on crashing.
[17:17] <imme-emosol> As in: Even Alt+SysRq+B not working
[17:17] <Kevin_Hampton> Larrxi have tried something like this, but nvidia returns the option that my kernel needs to be modified and everytime it tries it fails
[17:17] <DaveKong> jamil_1, did you install windows first then add ubuntu?
[17:17] <jdk1976> can i image a windows partition from ubuntu, save the image in ubuntu, reformat the windows partition as primary instead of logical, place the image back into the windows partition, replace the windows bootloader, add windows to grub, and have a perfectly fine dual boot system once again?

[17:18] <vegombrei> hi ..i recently updated my ubuntu to 8.10 ... tried burning a dvd and it says it doesnt support dvd-r anymore .. please help ..
[17:18] <Nith> RugB: keep scrolling down in that list until you see the bunch of "title, root, kernal" things. Each "title" denotes the os
[17:18] <imme-emosol> Last time, someone else in here had the same problem, (s)he advised me to install the server-kernel and so I did, but as it seems no, it brings me no luck.
[17:18] <Nith> RugB: so count from there down
[17:18] <jamil_1> DaveKong,: Yes and then widows was some how corrupted and I installed a fresh compy of windows
[17:18] <jamil_1> DaveKong, copy
[17:19] <DaveKong> jamil_1, so windows is fixed now but the loader is slow?
[17:19] <alex_21> Hey, any luck with my networking issue?

[17:20] <jdk1976> can i image a windows partition from ubuntu, save the image in ubuntu, reformat the windows partition as primary instead of logical, place the image back into the windows partition, replace the windows bootloader, add windows to grub, and have a perfectly fine dual boot system once again?

[17:22] <alex_21> Any luck with my networking issue
[17:22] <DaveKong> jamil_1, you might try updating grub or reinstalling grub... that is all I can think of I am not sure what is causing the problem sorry
[17:22] <jamil_1> DaveKong,: ok
[17:23] <jamil_1> DaveKong,: no problem

[17:26] <porthose> how would I reconfigure evolution? dpkg --configure evolution?

[17:37] <mtinman> Jaxxon: I have a copy, I just need to open a chat with you to past the results into...
[17:37] <imme-emosol> alex_21: I don't know what option will do that.
[17:37] <Larrxi> Pentarex, i think skype.com got ubuntu packages :)
[17:37] <imme-emosol> alex_21: I know that here it does.
[17:38] <ert3> Pentarex: last i checked they hava a .deb installer for you
[17:38] <imme-emosol> alex_21: The best thing I can do for you is go to options together.
[17:38] <Jaxxon> mtinman: paste it too phpfi.com please
[17:38] <mtinman> Jaxxon: NP.
[17:38] <Sk8rdude> can anyone explain why an app wouldn't be accepting switches on startup
[17:38] <Pentarex> ert3: but there is a problem libq4t is missing or something
[17:38] <dino> '
[17:38] <Nith> Pentarex: then open synaptic and look for libq4t
[17:38] <mtinman> Jaxxon, please note, I have google repos in there too.
[17:38] <beardorado> hi
[17:38] <dino> hi
[17:38] <dino> hi
[17:38] <FloodBot3> dino: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:38] <alex_21> The command I am trying to read it /etc/init.d/netwrokgin restart
[17:39] <Jaxxon> mtinman: ok np
[17:39] <Pentarex> Nith: i am new to linux sry

[17:40] <Edward123> hey
[17:40] <mtinman> Jaxxon: http://phpfi.com/383735
[17:40] <XB23> hey guys, anyone know how to install Qstat with TCL support?
[17:40] <alex_21> Imme-emoosol That shouldn't effect it. If only it worked like Voiceover
[17:40] <Sk8rdude> can anyone explain why an app wouldn't be accepting switches on startup
[17:40] <Nith> Pentarex: generally you can install software using synaptic much easier than installing from sites. Skype isn't there because it's not open source. when installing packages manually, you have to find missing libss and the like... synaptic is the best way to go
[17:40] <Edward123> following the help.ubuntu.com site tutorial i tried 'sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk' - but i just get "E: Couldn't find package openjdk-6-jdk"?
[17:41] <Kuba> how to "lock the screen" from console?
[17:41] <Jaxxon> mtinman: thank u very much
[17:41] <mtinman> ;)
[17:41] <imme-emosol> alex_21: Do you have `speak object under mouse` enabled in the General-tab?
[17:41] <Pentarex> Nith: 10nx for the advice friend
[17:41] <Nith> np
[17:41] <kevin__> i really need some help with nvdia display drivers
[17:42] <Edward123> do i need to add an extra repo to get the java-6-openjdk?
[17:42] <Nith> Edward123: you should check your software source
[17:42] <alex_21> Imme-emosol No, because I can't use the mouse, both because my system won't detect it, and because I can't see it
[17:42] <Nith> Edward123: system-->administration-->software source
[17:42] <vegombrei> hi .. i recently updated my system to 8.10 .. and now it wont write on dvd-r .. it used to with hardy .. how do i fix this issue ?
[17:42] <DaveKong> Is there some way to lock the panel menu from being edited by certain users?
[17:42] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: ok tried from step one and still failed. even reinstalled the build-essential package, but still stops at the missing directory. i tried creating the directory, but it complained that
[17:42] <imme-emosol> alex_21: Yes well, with me that makes it speak out the command I type.
[17:42] <chosey> Does anyone have any experience with Oracle 11g on Hardy ?
[17:43] <Edward123> Nith, sorry could you expand on that?
[17:43] <imme-emosol> alex_21: It might be worth a try.
[17:43] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: it was missing a target for install
[17:43] <alex_21> vegombrei Try finding a proper driver for your disk drive
[17:43] <mtinman> How do I package a working Java program into a deb package?
[17:43] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> why are you at the install stage when i asked you to confirm the name of the driver  after make ?
[17:43] <Pentarex> Nith: i cant find libqt4-core in synaptic what should i do
[17:43] <Sk8rdude> can anyone explain why an app wouldn't be accepting switches on startup
[17:43] <MrCollins> does anyone know a good spot to download full albums?
[17:44] <Sweetandy> alex_21: ratpoison?
[17:44] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: this is the make, and you told me to restart the tutorial
[17:44] <vegombrei> alex_21: how do i do that ?
[17:44] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> and i have already told you, am not familiar with the Makefile of that package
[17:44] <Nith> Edward123: yes, System-->Administration-->Software Sources lets you add/remove the default repos. You need to check the "universe" repo
[17:44] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> i also asked you to find out the name of the driver module..yes?
[17:44] <Nith> Edward123: once you've done that, your sources list will refresh and you can find that package
[17:44] <Mi50> hello
[17:44] <Mi50> I need help
[17:44] <Mi50> :(
[17:44] <Edward123> Nith, right ok, thanks, i'll give that a try
[17:45] <Pentarex> Nith: what should i do m8
[17:45] <alex_21> Vomgrei I don't know. I just thought it may be worth a try
[17:45] <Kuba> Mi50: just tell it ;p
[17:45] <Edward123> Nith... actually i'm pretty sure i have universe checked. i added it to sources.list
[17:45] <n8tuser> tpw_rules_-> so you have to dig into the Makefile to find out what target is missing
[17:45] <alex_21> Imme-emosol It speaks it aftertyping, but I want to go back and check it afterwards
[17:45] <redux> suspend and hibernate don't work well when i resume either one on ubuntu 8.10. can any one help?
[17:46] <Nith> Pentarex: looking it up for you... libqt4-core should be there unless you're running from the cd
[17:46] <Mi50> brb
[17:46] <Mi50> need help with wireless card
[17:46] <Mi50> AR5413
[17:46] <Nith> Edward123: then try "sudo apt-get update" or refresh in synaptic
[17:46] <Mi50> fuck HP
[17:46] <Sk8rdude> can anyone explain why an app wouldn't be accepting switches on startup
[17:46] <FloodBot3> Mi50: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:46] <Mi50> brb
[17:46] <Edward123> heh
[17:46] <Friend2> Starnestommy: Thank you very much!
[17:46] <Nith> Pentarex: Are you still running from the cd?
[17:46] <kevin__> if i cant edit the xorg file or install nvidia drivers because it cant build the kernel would a reinstall take care of this?
[17:46] <redux> screen flickers on login and after login
[17:46] <vegombrei> alex_21: how do i do that ?
[17:47] <alex_21> Vogrei I don't know
[17:47] <alex_21> Vegombrei I don't know
[17:47] <Nith> Edward123: I'm sorry I was lookign at the wrong page... looks like thats was moved to the non-universe repos in 8.10
[17:48] <Nith> Edward123: are you using ubuntu 8.10?
[17:48] <kevin__> *sigh* i guess im going to have to go back to windows
[17:48] <mikex2> I use 8.10 and downloaded rubygems 1.3.1 and when I write gem in the terminal and I get an "error" that says that it's two version, rubygems1.8 and 1.9, how can I remove so the gem doesn't try to find 1.9? I have not Ruby 1.9, only 1.8
[17:48] <redux> suspend and hibernate don't work well when i resume either one on ubuntu 8.10. screen flickers on and off when i try to resume either one. can any one help?
[17:49] <pim> How would I update VLC to the latest version?
[17:49] <Edward123> er Nith.... no, and we probably have our problem. i didn't realise it's so old - it's actually 7.10 according to the /etc/*issue* file
[17:49] <Sk8rdude> can anyone explain why an app wouldn't be accepting switches on startup
[17:49] <mtinman> pim: use the package updater
[17:50] <Edward123> sorry for wasting your time, i will leave it to upgrade overnight tonight and check it out again tomorrow
[17:50] <dherman> When will the new lirc kernel modules be included in a kernel update?
[17:50] <vegombrei> anybody ?
[17:50] <Dillizar> who has a 8.10?
[17:50] <bazhang> vegombrei, which app are you using to burn dvds
[17:50] <alex_21> I want to move DHCPD and LTSP from eth0 to eth1
[17:50] <Mi50> so can anyone please help me?
[17:50] <pim> mtinman what do you mean?
[17:50] <bazhang> Mi50, watch the language
[17:50] <Mi50> I've googled all over
[17:51] <Dillizar> alex_21, you still have problem with your LAN
[17:51] <Mi50> yes but it's been 1 hour+ I've been looking
[17:51] <Nith> Edward123: its ok, good Luck... sun-java6-bin is available in 7.10
[17:51] <Nith> Edward123: that is if you want to play with java... it's in the multiverse repos
[17:51] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: this is one of the lines '$(MAKE) -C $(KLIB_BUILD) M=$(PWD) module' that has the directory
[17:51] <bazhang> pim, you cant get the very latest unless you break package management and install it yourself
[17:51] <Dillizar> i need some one who has ubuntu 8.10
[17:51] <vegombrei> bazhang: the default cd dvd burning app that pops up an explorer window
[17:51] <Edward123> Nith... yeah it seems to find that package. is the difference just a licencing one? the openjava stuff is open source whereas the sun-java6 stuff is just free?
[17:52] <redux>  suspend and hibernate don't work well when i resume either one on ubuntu 8.10. screen flickers on and off when i try to resume either one. can any one help?
[17:52] <alex_21> If I move dhcpd and ltsp from eht0 to eht1, then I can get rid of eth0 from my LAN
[17:52] <XB23> hey guys, anyone know how to install Qstat with TCL support?
[17:52] <ubuntu_todd> we several people use one IP to connect with outside. We have several inner IP and now I want to connect one of these computer from outside network. How could I use ssh or vnc4viewer? In hurry
[17:52] <bazhang> vegombrei, have you tried brasero, gnomebaker or others? what exact errors do you get
[17:52] <jason_> anyone had the green webcam issue in skype?
[17:52] <mtinman> pim: Sorry, just a sec
[17:52] <Dillizar> jason_, on ubuntu 8.10??
[17:52] <vegombrei> bazhang: i dont understand why its doing this ... it used to burn dvd's just fine .. now it says insert dvd+r
[17:53] <mtinman> pim: I'm still with you, just getting an answer together...
[17:53] <Nith> Edward123: the way I understand it, sun-java6-bin is the same as the one you get from java.sun.com which is the one on windows. I think it's in multiverse because the JVM is not open source
[17:53] <bazhang> vegombrei, what about popping in the dvd first
[17:53] <Nith> Edward123: but thats a guess more than anything else
[17:53] <vegombrei> bazhang: Please replace the disc in the drive with a supported disc with at least 4.4 GiB free.  The following disc types are supported:
[17:53] <vegombrei> DVD+R DL
[17:53] <pim> mtinman take it easy, I'll be here
[17:53] <Nith> Edward123: It does force you to accept sun's licence before installing
[17:53] <ubuntu_todd> any ideas?
[17:54] <imme-emosol> alex_21: I'm sorry can't find any option that will do that at the moment.

[17:57] <Neo_The_User> It doesn't say I can modify it
[17:58] <bazhang> Neo_The_User, that is not the purview of this channel
[17:58] <alex_21> And about my netwrok. I installed dhcpd and LTSP. Can I just unplug eth0 and will they switch to eth1? The problem is that this machine has Zimbra and apache on the other interface
[17:58] <Neo_The_User> but it doesn't say I can't modify it
[17:58] <Neo_The_User> bazhang, where should I ask?

[18:00] <vegombrei> bazhang: brasero gives an error too
[18:00] <rhljnk> how does ubuntu automount ntfs removable drives on request ..which is the file that specifies that????
[18:00] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: you need to do port forwarding to get past that
[18:01] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: How?
[18:01] <bazhang> vegombrei, have you tried another disk by chance? or only that one
[18:01] <tpw_rules_> n8tuser: i gotta go, see you in about half hr
[18:01] <vegombrei> bazhang: i think we need to put in the values in fstab ?
[18:01] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: figure out what ports the program needs, then go to your router and tell it to forward the ports to your ip
[18:01] <rhljnk> plz guyz how is that done is there any file that specify that?
[18:01] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: what "control" are you looking for, vlc, ssh ...?
[18:01] <vegombrei> bazhang: ok trying another disc
[18:01] <Brandano> ok, stupid question. If I boot from a livecd, will the filesystem match that of the installed OS?

[18:02] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: that one gets complicated. Assuming you'll check all of the legal stuff with your supervisor
[18:03] <exodus_ms> rhljnk, are you trying to mnt an external hdd or a flash drive?
[18:03] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: 5555555555555
[18:03] <vegombrei> bazhang: brasero gives the error says file not stored locally
[18:03] <Brandano> Nith, Kuba, it will be mounted where? not on / I assume
[18:03] <NetM> can anyone tell me a clone of winamp ?:)
[18:03] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: does your office have a VPN?
[18:03] <bazhang> vegombrei, what are you trying to burn and what did gnomebaker do with a different disk
[18:03] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: the same ubuntu system
[18:03] <Friend2> ubottu: emacs?
[18:03] <Friend2> !emacs
[18:04] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: my computer has ubuntu, and my laptop is ubuntu too.
[18:04] <Nith> Brandano: when you start up using the cd, it creates its own file system in your ram. You're looking to mount your drive so you need to look at "man mount". the drive is proabably /dev/sda1 but you'll have to check
[18:04] <Nith> Brandano: and be careful
[18:04] <Kuba> Brandano: when I run livecd recently hd was already accessible
[18:04] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: the problem is that we use one external ip in office.
[18:04] <alex_21> I dhcpd broadcasting on bothe eth0 and eth1
[18:04] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: right, but do you have a VPN to access the network in your office?
[18:04] <Sk8rdude> can anyone explain why an app wouldn't be accepting switches on startup
[18:05] <rhljnk> exodus_ms: no a partition from the hard drive such as ntfs ..how is it controlled ?
[18:05] <Friend2> !GNU Emacs
[18:05] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: I don't know about that.
[18:05] <JmCourir> how to modify mouse bouttons on ubuntu intrepid ?
[18:05] <Friend2> !GNU Emacs is an extensible, customizable text editor—and more. At its core is an interpreter for Emacs Lisp, a dialect of the Lisp programming language with extensions to support text editing.
[18:05] <Neodemi> does anyone have a guide for repartitioning and installing windows on a system currently running ubuntu
[18:05] <federico> list
[18:06] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: generally if your office has an external ip, its because you've got a firewall set up. That means you need to check with your boss to get firewall access or "VPN". Some businesses won't give it to you and some will
[18:06] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: I know I can do that if my computer has unique ip
[18:06] <Brandano> federico: wrong place, wrong command, and freenode doesn't like it when you ask for ALL the channel, better use a mask
[18:06] <icepenguin> Grr why is audio skipping... I have 3gb ram and am not doing anything disk intensive
[18:06] <icepenguin> this is silly
[18:06] <stmartin> hello! Could you be so nice and tell me why some of the characters in the Character map of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron are not shown correctly? (There is box 2x2 numbers and letters)
[18:06] <Friend2> icepenguin: Funny!
[18:06] <exodus_ms> rhljnk, you are trying to access a drive that has been formatted in ntfs. Do you have a duel boot setup
[18:06] <ghostknife> I have a bunch of smbfs mounts in /etc/fstab. This was all fine until I did a system update, at which time all of them started appearing as removable devices on the desktop and on the Places menu. Why would this be and how can I stop it?
[18:06] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: I am a PhD in university
[18:06] <Friend2> icepenguin: Which program are you using to play audio?
[18:06] <Brandano> icepenguin: lasa mapped to pulse and pulse mapped to alsa
[18:06] <rhljnk> yeah obviously.
[18:07] <Brandano> s/lasa/alsa/
[18:07] <jamil_1> ubuntu is not showing CDROM any help ?
[18:07] <icepenguin> Brandano, ? I don't follow.
[18:07] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: once you've got VPN access, then you can use SSH, VLC, remote desktop... there're are a mirad of different things you can use but they all need that access
[18:07] <Starnestommy>  /22
[18:07] <icepenguin> Friend2, happens with any program.  Its not the app itself, I've tried 4 now
[18:07] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: here you're a ubuntu user looking for help like everyone else
[18:07] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: how to set vpn in my office.
[18:07] <icepenguin> I found a thread on the forums I'm reading about this issue.
[18:07] <icepenguin> brb
[18:07] <exodus_ms> rhljnk, whatever man, just trying to help. you can have ntfs drive without having a duel boot setup, that is why i asked
[18:07] <armin___>  
[18:07] <Friend2> icepenguin: Ahh .. means your audio setup is ... sub optimal.
[18:07] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: you have to talk to the people who set up your network for that
[18:07] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: Yes....:)
[18:08] <icepenguin> Friend2, yeah, just annoys me cause its out of the box :D
[18:08] <icepenguin> anyways, reading this, back in a few.
[18:08] <Friend2> icepenguin: Are you using pulse audio or esound?
[18:08] <icepenguin> beats me, default install.  Now, brb reading :P lol
[18:08] <Friend2> icepenguin: What hardware?
[18:08] <rhljnk> nevermind,
[18:08] <Sk8rdude> can anyone explain why an app wouldn't be accepting switches on startup
[18:08] <rhljnk> any ideas
[18:08] <psaiken> hey, im just testing this thing... so whats going on in here then?
[18:09] <rhljnk> not the fstab im speaking
[18:09] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: if it do has the vpn, what's next?
[18:09] <stmartin> hello! Could you be so nice and tell me why some of the characters in the Character map of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron are not shown correctly? (There is box 2x2 numbers and letters)
[18:09] <jamil_1> ubuntu is not showing CDROM any help ?
[18:09] <Friend2> icepenguin: In your system menu, there is "preferrences" or something.  There you have some audio setup, where you can test various setup options.  I can't help suggesting playing around a bit with that.
[18:09] <Neodemi> can i install windows with an already installed ubuntu system, all the guides i get on google seem to go the other way, ubuntu in windows
[18:09] <ezgo6> If I need a stable platform. Should I upgrade to 8.10?
[18:10] <exodus_ms> rhljnk, wow, I did a 2 second search on google and look what I found --> http://lifehacker.com/software/ubuntu/ubuntu-tip--how-to-mount-a-windows-ntfs-partition-203102.php
[18:10] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: if you have a VPN set up and connected, you'll have an ip internal to your office and everything works the same as if it were a LAN. Then I would advise ssh as it's the easiest. You have to install openssh-server on the machine you want access to.
[18:10] <stmartin> Neodemi: you can
[18:10]  * kenroy wonders if to remove vista partition and format it to ext3
[18:10] <Sk8rdude> Neodemi: you can, but you need to reinstall grub after
[18:11] <Sk8rdude> kenroy: use gparted
[18:11]  * stmartin Can somebody give me Unicode font?
[18:11] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: then you can run "ssh -Cx username@<IPOfYourOfficeComputer>" and it will give you terminal access to your computer
[18:11] <sheit> anyone help with shared folders between vista and ubuntu...  I can transfer files onto ubuntu from vista, but not the other way.
[18:11] <kenroy> what is gparted
[18:11] <rhljnk> thnx for your effort but its not that i mean
[18:11] <Sk8rdude> kenroy: system --> admin --> partition editor
[18:11] <exodus_ms> rhljnk, perhaps you could be more specific
[18:12] <kenroy> ok
[18:12] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: sorry, ssh -CY username@<ipOfYourOffice>
[18:12] <kenroy> ok
[18:12] <Sk8rdude> can anyone explain why an app wouldn't be accepting switches on startup
<
[18:12] <n8tuser> Nith-> that assumes userid is same at his current location and at the office
[18:12] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: once you've done that, you can run things like gnome-calculator and they will appear on your home ubuntu machine even though they are running on your office machine
[18:12] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: great thanks
[18:12]  * stmartin help pls I am mad
[18:13] <questnn> When ubuntu boots I get the message unknown user 'vboxusers' and then all the rest text output as the system boots up whereas I would like to see the normal ubuntu screen where the bar fills up. I have made the changes to ubuntu as per vbox's wiki to enable usb drive support in ubuntu. I am_not_using the OSE version. How do I make that error message go away?
[18:13] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: n8tuser thats right, the username of username@<ipOfYourOfficeMachine> is the one you log into at your office
[18:13] <stmartin> ubunutu ! char map
[18:13] <dano_> Hey all, whats the latest and greatest chat client for linux, I want something with great scripting support and plugins that are already available, sorta like mIRC.  I am using xchat 2.8.4 is there anything better
[18:13] <n8tuser> Sk8rdude-> you can try strace or ltrace to see if it took it?
[18:13] <vegombrei> bazhang: ?
[18:13] <sheit> anyone help with shared folders between vista and ubuntu...  I can transfer files onto ubuntu from vista, but not the other way
[18:13] <JmCourir> Is there something similar Google Desktop for ubuntu ?
[18:14] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: how about the DNS in my office?
[18:14] <bazhang> vegombrei, hi
[18:14] <rhljnk> i mean ubuntu mounts it only when it is accesed how it is done?
[18:14] <Nith> dano_: if you don't mind the terminal, then irssi is around. It allows you to write plugin's in perl but I haven't seen anything like mIRC's script interface
[18:14] <ezgo6> I use Google desktop for ubuntu 8.10
[18:14] <JmCourir> ezgo6: is this one of the best ?
[18:14] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: VPN should set up the DNS stuff for you when you log in.
[18:14] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: by the way how could I get the external ip address in my computer terminal?
[18:15] <ezgo6> Jm: T think it's OK for me.
[18:15] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: I'm sorry but I don't understand the question
[18:15] <JmCourir> ezgo6: ok
[18:15] <RPG_Master94> Would someone please look at my thread on the ubuntu forum:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=997087&highlight=doesn%27t+boot+into+gnome

[18:16] <frederific> Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 8.10. On aisleriot solitaire, Klondike (the standard solitaire game) is missing! It's in the instructions, but isn't available in the "select game" menu
[18:16] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: like ifconfig wlan0
[18:16] <Sk8rdude> n8tuser: i'm looking at the man pages of s/ltrace... what would the useage be?
[18:16] <jamil_1> ubuntu is not showing CDROM any help ?
[18:16] <stmartin> any unicode fonts for UNIX?
[18:16] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: you cannot get it to appear using ifconfig, atleast not to my knowledge
[18:16] <n8tuser> Sk8rdude-> ltrace  command -options here
[18:16] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: but this doesn't show my external ip 218.9.97.235
[18:17] <vegombrei> bazhang: i need help configuring ubuntu to work with dvd-r's bro ..
[18:17] <icepenguin> well... I set everything to ALSA.  We'll see if that fixes it.
[18:17] <bazhang> vegombrei, what happened with gnomebaker and  a different disk?
[18:17] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: right, vpn client/server will bridge the gap between your home computer and will put you inside your network. You will give the external ip to the vpn client
[18:17] <Nith> *inside your work network
[18:17] <exodus_ms> !mount
[18:18] <kc8pxy> i have a person I'm trying to support converting from windows to ubuntu(linux in general) how do i make sure our firewall's/routers don't block me helping them via rdesktop?
[18:18] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: thanks. a little complicated. Maybe i will not do remote anyway. ;<
[18:18] <mtinman> How do I put a working Java program into a deb package?
[18:18] <alex_21> use checkinstall
[18:19] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: talk to your network guru about VPN. If they set it up you'll give it a username and password, then can do anything as if your office computer was in your home
[18:19] <Sk8rdude> n8tuser: --- SIGSTOP (Stopped (signal)) ---
[18:19] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: it's not as complicated as it sounds, just takes some patients
[18:20] <ubuntu_todd> Nith: How to set vpn. I can do what I want in my office.
[18:20] <n8tuser> Sk8rdude-> well, you have to play around with that tool, its a debugging tool, i have not used it for a long time
[18:20] <vegombrei> bazhang: i did that .. nothing works ... its like my drive suddenly doesnt like dvd-r's
[18:21] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: only the person who set up your office network can setup VPN

[18:21] <Nith> mtinman: I've never done it my self but that's what I've found
[18:21] <bazhang> vegombrei, not sure what to suggest here; sounds like you are using the wrong kind of disks tbh
[18:22] <RPG_Master94> anyone mind helping me out?
[18:22] <WANNABE> hey, its possible run cs 1.6 on linux? if is it possible is hard to do ?

[18:22] <mtinman> Nith : Thanks :)
[18:22] <bazhang> WANNABE, use wine
[18:22] <WANNABE> but its hard to make that?
[18:22] <bazhang> WANNABE, check the appdb
[18:22] <NetM> WANNABE only with wine :) i tested :D
[18:22] <Nith> ubuntu_todd: then they probably already have it set up, you just need to ask for it. They will have instructions on how to do it
[18:22] <bazhang> !appdb | WANNABE
[18:22] <exodus_ms> If none of them work, type 'cat /etc/fstab /etc/mtab' and pastebin the output.
[18:22] <WANNABE> and is fast in game ?
[18:23] <wiebersk> WANNABE, only photoshop will work
[18:23] <NetM> same with windows :)

[18:24] <Nith> mannytu: as long as you have the shell it runs on (#!<shell>)
[18:24] <wiebersk> cakey1, have you tried using the restricted drivers manager?
[18:24] <Kar1na> #supremos

[18:25] <Nith> Kar1na: please go away
[18:25] <Kar1na> excuse me :s
[18:25] <Nith> this is a help chan, please don't advertise other channels here

[18:26] <lesshaste> I want to save the new version rotated?

[18:29] <Roland123> core2duo nvidia 7600 go
[18:29] <bazhang> vegombrei, what are you burning and from what source? on another partition? and what happens when you put the disk in after
[18:29] <kc8pxy> rkpisanu:  that sounds odd..    why are you trying to do that?
[18:30] <bobbob1016> Roland123, c2d what's the clock speed?  And what drivers, open source or closed?
[18:30] <wiebersk> cakey1, what kind of video card do you have?
[18:30] <lesshaste> and.. are there any linux friendly online photo website? I have been trying to use photobox but it is maddeningly incompatible with linux/firefox it seems

[18:30] <lesshaste> and completely broken with opera or konqueror
[18:30] <Roland123> bobbob1016: 2ghz, using nvidia 177

[18:31] <cakey1> nvidia 5600
[18:31] <rkpisanu> kc8pxy, because i have laptop to access ntfs partition on desktop via lan
[18:31] <cakey1> total shit, but good enough for a hi8gher res than 640x480 ;)
[18:31] <ezzieyguywuf> is there a quick way to recursively delete all empty directories from a source directory?
[18:31] <lesshaste> bobbob1016, will they print and deliver to the UK?
[18:31] <bobbob1016> Roland123, And what player?  Could depend on the codec.
[18:31] <Roland123> dragon player
[18:31] <kc8pxy> rkpisanu: free solution i assume?
[18:31] <Sk8rdude> ezzieyguywuf: rm -Rf
[18:31] <rkpisanu> sure
[18:32] <rkpisanu> ubuntu 8.10
[18:32] <kc8pxy> rkpisanu:  run a linux on the laptop, and mount the ntfs-3g, and share it via nfs :)
[18:32] <Sk8rdude> n8tuser: i just don't get why it listens to some switches on startup but not others... i specify some things which work fine (port change) but others don't (user limit)
[18:32] <jamil_1> ubuntu is not detecting my CDROM http://paste.ubuntu.com/78371/
[18:32] <ezzieyguywuf> Sk8rdude: i don't think so.....
[18:32] <bobbob1016> lesshaste, Not sure, could look it up....
[18:32] <exodus_ms> jamil_1, Try to type one of these commands: 'sudo mount /dev/cdrom' 'sudo mount /dev/scd1' 'sudo mount /dev/dvd'
[18:32] <Stalker72> Does Songbird support FLAC?
[18:32] <lesshaste> bobbob1016, ok thanks
[18:33] <rkpisanu> kc8pxy, it doesnt work
[18:33] <exodus_ms> jamil_1, If none of them work, type 'cat /etc/fstab /etc/mtab' and pastebin the output.
[18:33] <Sk8rdude> ezzieyguywuf: you asked for the command... that's it
[18:33] <wiebersk> cakey1, try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[18:33] <Roland123> bobbob1016: actually i have tried vlc and mplayer too.. everywhere cpu usage 50-70%
[18:33] <kc8pxy> rkpisanu:  why nfs?
[18:33] <mon^rch> can someone tell me how to access a shared folder in virtualbox? (Linux host, linux guest)
[18:33] <n8tuser> Sk8rdude-> does it have some kind of libpam  it uses? maybe something to do with that? am stretching here now..
[18:33] <wiebersk> cakey1, that driver manager might be under system > administration > Hardware Drivers
[18:33] <ezzieyguywuf> Sk8rdude: no i asked for how to recursively  remove EMPTY directories froma source. that would remove ALL directories. you see what i'm sayin
[18:33] <rkpisanu> nfs view only ext3 fs and ignore ntfs
[18:33] <Roland123> bobbob1016: looks like video playback isn't accelerated by gpu

[18:34] <cakey1> yeah its there
[18:34] <cakey1> i used it
[18:34] <kc8pxy> rkpisanu:  then soulds like nfs is the wrong tool for your job.
[18:34] <bobbob1016> Roland123, You might want to set mplayer to use both cores, there is a .mplayer.conf or something in your /home folder, you need lavdopts threads=2 or something, ask in #mplayer
[18:34] <e\ectro__> aside from downloading Azureus Vuze into opt and running it out of there, is there a way to get the stock deb package to update properly?

[18:37] <n8tuser> Sk8rdude-> is this something you compiled?

[19:03] <Killer--Tux> amh try reading this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[19:03] <zaphands> Installing flash 10 simply didn't work. no error messages or anything. can anyone help?

[19:03] <Zaraki_Kenpachi> hi, i have asked about updating clamav earlier. i found a link that is useful, http://ubuntufs.wordpress.com/2008/02/14/update-clamav-in-ubuntu/, anyone who wants to update clamav may want to take a look at that. thank you
[19:03] <AutoMatriX> amh, going to have a look ;) 2 min, pls
[19:03] <depasqua> wiebersk, ok, live cd is is then.  thanks.

[19:03] <wiebersk> depasqua, depends on what i have on there, sometimes editing the sources.lst file is bad
[19:03] <zaphands> simplexio: how? It's only a library.
[19:03] <amh> Automatrix: ok, thanks
[19:04] <amh> killer--tux: checking that link.

[19:04] <zaphands> simplexio: thanks. I'll try.
[19:04] <riotkittie> Guest5729: depends on what you want to run XP for. if you require 3d acceleration, forget it. but if you're not hoping to game, you should  be good.
[19:04] <AutoMatriX> amh, that's a D-Link DWA-130, isn't it ?
[19:05] <amh> Automatrix: yes , that is right

[19:05] <AutoMatriX> amh, as far as I know, ndiwrapper is not working, I think we will have to find the linux driver, let's check that
[19:06] <simplexio> Guest5729: for Wow you need to use wine
[19:06] <amh> Automatrix: ok, where do i look for that?
[19:06] <riotkittie> Guest5729: i have no idea.
[19:06] <Guest5729> simplexio I know but I get some stupid mouse lag

[19:28] <abarbaccia> hey all - i recently updated and my atheros wifi (ath_pci) stopped working. It connects to the router but cannot resolve any addresses. It works fine off the live CD, etc.
[19:28] <simplexio> Zaq: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=12497 , howto from debian site
[19:29] <eid1> abarbaccia: did you tried sudo dhclient ?
[19:29] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> how do you know it connects to the AP? what command you used?
[19:30] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: it gets an ip address and everything
[19:30] <macjason0607> guys i have a volume that is hfsplus .. can i mount it on ubuntu ?
[19:30] <Zaq> simplexio: thanks but I've crawled through two or three of those "ALL TIME SUPER FIX ÜBER BONANZA GUARANTEED AWESOME" fixes already and don't really feel like doing another one -_-
[19:30] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> what is everything?  can you post your  ifconfig; iwconfig;  route -n and cat /etc/resolv.conf   ?
[19:30] <slanning> it's so frustrating though - I thought these stupid kinds of problems like sound (or graphics or whatever) were in the past for linux

What can I do about it I have two network cards on one machine. My machine is running Zimbra and a pache. On eth1 and dhcpd and ltsp on eth0. Now they are both now connected to the same LAN, and I gave eth1 a static IP. eth0 already had a static IP. Now I can't ssh, afp, no
[19:34] <alex_21> thing
[19:34] <simplexio> probably i should stop to get my guru points for this night, ppl as so easy questions that usually google gives answers right away :D

[19:35] <nintendork32> !av
[19:36] <n8tuser> alex_21-> are you good enuff with routing? which route would you think your traffic take? eth0 or eht1 ?
[19:36] <beph> Anyone remembers the command to show which resolutions your dvi-monitor can handle?
[19:36] <simplexio> alex_21: default route defined, what is behind eth0, how about  eth1
[19:37] <n8tuser> simplexio-> are you good with using iptables? are all packets  passing through PREROUTING in, out or forward?
[19:38] <simplexio> n8tuser: nope, i dont use iptables
[19:38] <fword> hiya. looking to make a new server config. question: is there a way to find out all of the packages previously installed via apt-get?

[19:38] <pLk> someone here who uses partypoker via firefox?
[19:39] <n8tuser> fword-> dpkg -L

[19:39] <simplexio> n8tuser: i curretly use only basic bridge system without firewall
[19:40] <GodfatherofEire> How would I go about stopping a program from starting on startup/login?
[19:40] <n8tuser> simplexio-> what do you bridge? between which?
[19:40]  * fword gives n8tuser a high-five. that eases a concern big time. your next beer is on the house. a coupon will drop from the sky.
[19:40] <n8tuser> GodFather-> which program?
[19:40] <endoubt> fword: check out this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=243528
[19:41] <n8tuser> fword-> throw in a big juicy burger with that ok? hehe
[19:41] <simplexio> n8tuser: Lan->server->desktop . aka desktop is in lan, no annoying firewall rules or nat etc..
[19:41] <fword> n8tuser: if meat went through modems you'd be swimming in it :O
[19:42] <alex_21> I am no good with rooting
[19:43] <n8tuser> simplexio-> you basically wasted the server? bridging two ports so you can have the desktop have an ip address?
[19:43] <evgeni> hi
[19:43] <Al1> someone want to help me reinstall linux?
[19:43] <n8tuser> alex_21-> okay, then do not have two interface cards on same lan, disable either eth0 or eth1 only have one at a time
[19:43] <Al1> lol
[19:43] <SiD> a.lt
[19:44] <GodfatherofEire1> How would I go about stopping a program from starting on startup/login?

[19:44] <dj_ee3> I need a little bit of help

[19:44] <n8tuser> A|1 hard disk
[19:44] <alex_21> How can I move all my services to the same card then?
[19:44] <simplexio> n8tuser: its called tranaparent bridge, and no server does something else (nothing important like keeping irssi up last 300+ days) and if i needed i could add firewall there but i dont need it
[19:45] <dj_ee3> My ubuntu start running slow sometimes when I watch Flash animations
[19:45] <Al1> n8tuser: ye im backig all my stuff up right now

[19:45] <\Kira> Im trying to vnc into my server, by running "ssh -L5900:127.0.0.1:5900 192.168.1.100", and then in another terminal I ran "xtightvncviewer -bgr233 -compresslevel 9 -encodings copyrect -quality 5 127.0.0.1". I get a permissions error on the ssh terminal, and a connection closed error locally. Any Help?
[19:45] <n8tuser> simplexio-> okay, am just curious on how people utilize their bridges..
[19:46] <endoubt> \Kira: why do you need both vnc and ssh?
[19:46] <n8tuser> A|1 you can try installing a new one with debootstrap,  for kick want to try it?
[19:46] <Al1> n8tuser: should i switch to intrepid or stick with hardy heron what do you recomend?
[19:46] <Roland123> why is kacpid eating 50% of the cpu usage?
[19:46] <n8tuser> Al1-> stay with hardy
[19:46] <endoubt> Al1: keep with hardy
[19:46] <\Kira> endoubt: Well, someone gave me those commands, but I think im encrypting the connection. Im not really sure :(
[19:46] <Al1> k
[19:47] <simplexio> n8tuser: i had idea put there squid, iptables, etc etc, but im laxy and i dont need them
[19:47] <Al1> n8tuser: let me finish backing up files first
[19:47] <endoubt> \Kira: well, start with getting it working without encryption
[19:47] <\Kira> endoubt: How could I do that?
[19:47] <endoubt> \Kira: what OS is on the host box?
[19:47] <Al1> around 10 minutes
[19:47] <n8tuser> Al1-> and after that, create another partition, for a new install
[19:47] <\Kira> endoubt: on the machine Im trying to connect to, ubuntu server 8.04, on the remote machine, kubuntu 8.04
[19:48] <wdh> i'm trying to upload some photos to a website which only supports the native 'windows publishing' for mass-upload of photos. Does anyone know of a linux-implementation of this protocol?
[19:48] <endoubt> \Kira: there's a simple way to do it through the GUI on both systems
[19:48] <zigovr3> hi all, how to change kernel boot options in the grub/menu.lst file in a clean way with ubuntu (I mean, I don't want to get problem when "update-grub" is used)
[19:48] <\Kira> endoubt: the ubuntu server is headless :(
[19:48] <jnih2> violent lantiflood !
[19:49] <endoubt> \Kira: have you started the VNC server already on the headless server?
[19:49] <simplexio> zigovr3: just edit it. update adds new kernels in own menuitem
[19:49] <\Kira> endoubt: I think so, I installed a package called vinc, or something
[19:49] <n8tuser> zigovr3-> always make a copy of your menu.lst  before you do those upgrades
[19:49] <jnih2> jai toujours mon probleme de chown avec kde
[19:49] <wdh> zigovr3, add/remove the proper bootoptions from the line with #kopt. Update-grub then adds it to all new kernels
[19:50] <endoubt> \Kira: alright, you can try to go Main Menu > Internet > Remote Desktop Viewer on the guest machine
[19:50] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: here's the network command outputs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78405/
[19:50] <wdh> !fr jnih2
[19:50] <zigovr3> wdh: aaah many thanks, I didn't see these #kopts lines :)
[19:50] <\Kira> endoubt: okay, do I run the ssh command, aswell?
[19:50] <endoubt> hit "connect" then type in the IP
[19:50] <wdh> jnih2, try #ubuntu-fr for support in french
[19:50] <endoubt> \Kira: start by making sure it's working without encryption
[19:50] <jnih2> ok !
[19:51] <endoubt> \Kira: hit "connect" then type in the IP
[19:51] <simplexio> Roland123: try acpi=off, and see if that helps http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/44917-apci-off.html there is something that explains stuff
[19:51] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> what is the problem? its been so long for you to respond, i forget things
[19:51] <reikon> I don't have apache, or apache2 installed, yet it's in sbin, and starts at boot, wtf?
[19:51] <caaakeeey> so
[19:51] <caaakeeey> apparently
[19:51] <simplexio> caaakeeey: nvidia driver is right one
[19:51] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: i can connect to my wireless network, but no internet
[19:51] <caaakeeey> ubunut only works with one of my monitors
[19:52] <caaakeeey> >.<
[19:52] <n8tuser> reikon-> dont need to use those words..
[19:52] <wdh> zigovr3, remember that these options are not added to existent kernels until you run 'update-grub'
[19:52] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: not even internal stuff (like accessing the AP config pages)
[19:52] <\Kira> endoubt: it brings up a prompt for remote desktop, wich I dont know what to enter
[19:52] <simplexio> caaakeeey: you need to run nvidia-settings
[19:52] <zigovr3> wdh: yes, I see , it's very good
[19:52] <endoubt> \Kira: what's the IP of the server?
[19:52] <alex_21> I have a desperate network problem I must fix. Here is what I get from /tc/init.d/networking restart * reconfiguring network interfaces... rtnetlink no such process.

[19:52] <caaakeeey> 640x480 with the other
[19:52] <E-XtraCt> There is a special distribution of linux for HTPC ?
[19:52] <caaakeeey> both work with my other pc

[19:52] <uhhhhh> hey can lm-sensors work with an atom
[19:52] <habit> Hello. I have lenovo 3000 n200, how can I know will ubuntu work on it?
[19:53] <endoubt> \Kira: leave the port like it is
[19:53] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> how many gateways are you using?  having many nics on same lan,  which route do you think your packet will take to get to destination?  eth0? eth1? ath0?
[19:53] <wdh> habit, the easiest way is to just try the live-cd
[19:53] <endoubt> habit: google it, but linux is usually friendly with IBM/Lenovo
[19:53] <\Kira> endoubt: I think I have a different program then you are thinking of, entering the IP makes the connect button stay grayed and I cant click it
[19:53] <peter86_poland> Hello... I have problem. I run Ibex Ubuntu. Few hours ago I have installed VLK player. From now on all movies are blue...
[19:53] <bros> I am trying to boot the 9.04 daily release Xubuntu PS3 build on my PS3, and it is just hanging there. No lights flickering. I got to the kboot line and pressed enter, then it powered off my USB devices and my display is gone.
[19:54] <n8tuser> alex_21-> okay, then do not have two interface cards on same lan, disable either eth0 or eth1 only have one at a time
[19:54] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: ignore all the others, they're disabled while i test. only ath0. right now i needed to run a wire to do some debug and get online
[19:54] <\Kira> endoubt: If I go to the examples it says I have to enter a machine name and a :1
[19:54] <habit> endoubt, @ google some people says smth like "horrible", smth tells "perfect". Is there a sort of list supported notebooks?
[19:54] <\Kira> endoubt: the example was "megan:1"
[19:54] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> i can not ignore them, or you are pasting us a bogus information
[19:54] <mib_f3gblh> habit I have a similar problem I am trying to get ubuntu to connect to att with my built in wlan,,  running thinkpad lenovo t500
[19:55] <endoubt> \Kira: use just the IP and leave the port alone, type exactly "192.168.1.100" and make sure the window says "Remote Desktop Viewer" at the top
[19:55] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> so give us a clean accurate information or else you'll get garbage
[19:55] <endoubt> habit: like they said, try it with the Live CD first
[19:55] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: don't ignore then, just know that they are usually disconnected and not enabled. i enabled one of them so i can get online right now and debug
[19:55] <ty> hey jamie
[19:55] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> not per what you pasted, so provide only good info
[19:55] <GodfatherofEire2> Any ideas why gconf-editor is saving my prefs, but not quite loading them when I go to change them?
[19:55] <test34> The bluez-audio package is obsolete? what should I use instead to have the audio service?
[19:56] <\Kira> endoubt: well, the program has "remote desktop connection - krdc" at the top, and I am entering just the IP
[19:56] <simplexio> caaakee/last abarbaccia
[19:56] <tadej_> hi guys... i have a very dumb question... i have a new laptop and it has intel core duo. Should i download ubuntu for 64bit comp or regular, 32?
[19:56] <simplexio> last abarbaccia
[19:56] <endoubt> \Kira: oh, let me see what it is for KDE, forgot you were on Kubuntu
[19:56] <\Kira> endoubt: Im running kde, if you didnt see that from my OS I told you earlier
[19:56] <caaakeeey> hmm?
[19:56] <\Kira> endoubt: :D
[19:56] <ty> !fishing > test34
[19:56] <ty> lol
[19:56] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: i dont understand. this is the same config i've always used. ubuntu updated and i rebooted now it does not work. i plugged in a wire to my AP so i can get online
[19:56] <simplexio> tadej_: 32bit if you dont have more than 4G ram, it works with 64bit too
[19:56] <GodfatherofEire2> tadej_ probably 32
[19:57] <simplexio> caaakeeey: you tried nvidia-settings command ?
[19:57] <\Kira> !fishing
[19:57] <tadej_> simplexio i have exactly 4gb of ram. should i try 64?
[19:57] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> until you provide accurate info, i can not really help you, dont make me guess, i usually guess wrong
[19:57] <test34> ty, seems like it doesn't find anything for bluez-audio
[19:57] <bros> I am trying to boot the 9.04 daily release Xubuntu PS3 build on my PS3, and it is just hanging there. No lights flickering. I got to the kboot line and pressed enter, then it powered off my USB devices and my display is gone. Can anyone lend advice?
[19:58] <Jophish> any acpi gurus here?
[19:58] <caaakeeey> it doesnt detect my other monitor
[19:58] <simplexio> tadej_: i think that 32bit is still ok. im 95% sure about it
[19:58] <GodfatherofEire2> Any ideas why gconf-editor isnt loading the keybinding prefs, but metacity is
[19:58] <simplexio> Jophish: no
[19:58] <Jophish> ok
[19:58] <Jophish> thanks
[19:58] <tadej_> simplexio: ok great. thanks
[19:58] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: how is this not accurate - its the exact output of what you told me to run.
[19:58] <GodfatherofEire2> simplexio, yeah, they're forwards compatible
[19:58] <simplexio> Jophish: but you can try ask first maybe someone knows something
[19:58] <Jophish> ok
[19:58] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: if you need more information about my setup i can tell you
[19:59] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> it is not accurate when you are telling me some are not active, disabled,  get an accurate info
[19:59] <Jophish> would anybody be able to help me getting brightness controls working on my laptop
[19:59] <endoubt> \Kira: ok, try this type "vnc:/192.168.1.100"
[19:59] <\Kira> endoubt: Connection failed. No server running at the given address and port.
[19:59] <mib_f3gblh> ubuntu can see the data card it just can't make the connection to att.   I talked to att and they told me some of the settings in the mobile broadband needed to be changed like WAP should be CIN and so fourth.  Made all the changes and still can't connect.  I feel it's just some simple setting I am missing in the mobile broadband settings
[19:59] <caaakeeey> the one it doesnt detect has an analog input thing while the one it does detect has a digital connection, would that make a difference
[20:00] <\Kira> endoubt: If I nmap my server, it has no port open for vnc
[20:00] <endoubt> \Kira: you need to get a head on that server and make sure it's running the vnc server
[20:00] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: there are two wired cards (eth0 and eth1) and one wireless card (ath0). I use the wireless card to connect to the internet and the wired cards are disconnected. Currently, for debug only, I have connected a wire to eth0 so I can get online and hoepfully debug / fix this problem
[20:00] <simplexio> Jophish: what laptop
[20:00] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: when i plug in a wire, i do not change any of the settings, it just flips over to using that instead of using the wireless.
[20:01] <gitm> Anyone try crunchbang linux based on ubuntu's latest release?
[20:01] <\Kira> endoubt: mabye I mistyped the package name, and didnt see if there was any errors? When I installed the vnc pakcage, I installed it along with a bunch of GUI packages.
[20:01] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> that is confusing, wired card are disconnected and also your eth0 is connected?  come on..
[20:01] <\Kira> endoubt: what would you recommend installing? Because I currently dont have a head to put on the server
[20:01] <endoubt> \Kira: there's one built into ubuntu
[20:01] <Jophish> simplexio: a Samsung q310
[20:01] <\Kira> endoubt: how could I run it?
[20:01] <Jophish> it has acpi problems
[20:01] <endoubt> \Kira: can you ssh into the server?
[20:02] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: usually there are wired cards do not have a wire plugged into them. for debug only i plugged a wire into one of them so i can get online.
[20:02] <\Kira> endoubt: I have access the the machines command line, by ssh
[20:02] <paul68> abarbaccia: when eth0 is disconnected how do you connect to the internet if you plug a wire into it
[20:02] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> i have advised you -- only use one interface on same lan at a time, unless you are very familiar with routing
[20:02] <rufneck> serveri/server./server irc.undernet.org
[20:02] <rufneck> arf
[20:02] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> how many gateways are you using?  having many nics on same lan,  which route do you think your packet will take to get to destination?  eth0? eth1? ath0?   <-- answer this
[20:02] <\Kira> endoubt: I also have sudo rights on the server
[20:03] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: i usually do. i usually only use ath0 (wireless). Now wireless stopped working. To answer your question - when i make changes and test (unplug the wire) it would have to take ath0 because there is no connection for eth0 and eth1
[20:03] <Fougner> \Kira, what do you want to do anyway? =)
[20:04] <Nosorozec> witam
[20:04] <Nosorozec> mam problem z ustawieniem radiówki pod ubuntu
[20:04] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: ath0 pulls an IP from the AP successfully. When i try to ping or get on the internet it cannot resolve.
[20:04] <\Kira> Fougner: vnc into my machine, my network is pretty sercure, and I wouldnt be doing it much, so Im not that worried about security, but Im in a little over my head and the person who originally helped me hasnt been online in a bit
[20:04] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> how can you be so sure some packets are not going the other gateways? as they show them being active ?
[20:04] <jsmidt> Does anybody know which irc channel I should join to find out how to change the importance of a bug?
[20:04] <jony_kalavera> hi where can i change the x settings for gdm or kdm
[20:04] <jony_kalavera> ?
[20:04] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> sorry cant help you if you keep on insisting your way
[20:04] <endoubt> \Kira: here's a guide for your exact situation http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-266981.html
[20:04]  * endoubt is out for a smoke
[20:05] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: i don't know for sure. things got a little confusing since netapplet
[20:05] <Fougner> \Kira, aha, why vnc into a server? a server is supposed to run CLI only ;)
[20:05] <\Kira> endoubt: sweet, ill look into that, thanks
[20:05] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> thats the point, you dont know, so you either you listen to my advise or do it your way and suffer..
[20:05] <alex_21> Well, with my netwrok problem what can I do. I can't connect and get the error I mentioned above my config is http://paste.ubuntu.com/78406/
[20:05] <eid2> I have scanned pages in tiff and pdf format they are 4.2 MB, how can I compress them to 3 MB. ?
[20:05] <abarbaccia> n8tuser: suffer... haha - then lets start going with the advice part
[20:05] <\Kira> Fougner: CLI? I have had a increadible ammount of difficultly setting up certian things remotely, like CUPS and such (wich are made to be set up locally and need a GUI to do that)
[20:06] <simplexio> Jophish: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=100494&page=9
[20:06] <jony_kalavera> \Kira: try webmin
[20:06] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> okay, 1st disable those interfaces that are not active and then do  a  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[20:06] <\Kira> jony_kalavera: I've heard of that before, no clue what it is
[20:06] <simplexio> Jophish: something like 5 or 7 post there explains how
[20:06] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> and then paste the same info i requested earlier, from those same commands
[20:06] <jony_kalavera> \Kira: its a web interface. let's you manage all sorts of things CUPS for instance
[20:07] <jony_kalavera> \Kira: http://www.webmin.com/
[20:07] <\Kira> jony_kalavera: Cool, ill look into that, thanks
[20:07] <GodfatherofEire2> Could somebody help me out with my keybindings in gconf-editor? They're still active, but they're not showing up
[20:07] <n8tuser> abarbaccia-> and dont make your response too long of a delay, i forget things easily,
[20:07] <alex_21> Hey, I really must get this thing online again. It is a production server
[20:07] <oskar-> \Kira:  do you want to run a vnc server on a server, where an x session is already running?
[20:08] <n8tuser> alex_21-> okay, then do not have two interface cards on same lan, disable either eth0 or eth1 only have one at a time  <-- you have done this ?
[20:08] <Jophish> yeah
[20:08] <alex_21> Here is my config http://paste.ubuntu.com/78406/
[20:08] <\Kira> oskar-: yes, but I think ive figured it out now, thanks anyways
[20:08] <n8tuser> alex_21-> you and abarbaccia are in same boat
[20:08] <Jophish> I'm just going  to test that now simplexio
[20:08] <Jophish> thanks
[20:08] <simplexio> Jophish: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/95444 even more stuff about it. maybe helps maybe not
[20:08] <oskar-> \Kira:  ok then ;) i do this sometimes and know a solutions ;)
[20:08] <oskar-> -s
[20:09] <alex_21> n*tuser I thought I already did do that
[20:09] <alex_21> Look at my config please: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78406/
[20:09] <jony_kalavera> so about the xorg setting for gdm. where can i change that?
[20:09] <endoubt> \Kira: cups will let you set it up by remote access through a browser
[20:09] <jony_kalavera> i get an oversized display that doesnt fit my screen
[20:09] <oskar-> jony_kalavera:  can you be more precise about what you want to change?
[20:10] <\Kira> endoubt: I've tried with that, and so far it hasnt worked...
[20:10] <n8tuser> alex_21-> paste the results of   ifconfig;  iwconfig;  route -n and cat /etc/resolv.conf
[20:10] <jony_kalavera> oskar-: i updated from 8.04 to 8.10 and my gdm login screen apears in a resolution too big for my screen
[20:10] <mo> can't mount my crypt root partition (on a raid0 md device) from initframfs ..... any ideas?
[20:10] <endoubt> \Kira: but I love WebMin :-)
[20:10] <simplexio> alex_21: looks right
[20:11] <Drakeson> what is /usr/bin/open used for? it is symlinked to /usr/bin/openvt here.
[20:11] <Jophish> Holy!! that script worked! thanks simplexio! your my hero
[20:11] <\Kira> endoubt: Im loooking in to it, it seems useful with how much ive heard about it
[20:12] <endoubt> \Kira: in can be buggy at times but it generally gets the job done for my purposes, makes it easy to mess around with mysql databases, apache, etc. but I've had mixed results with samba, my samba is so screwy though that I try not to mess with it too much, it works and I don't have the time to try and perfect it
[20:13] <oskar-> jony_kalavera:  i would try setting HorizSync and VertRefresh in the monitor section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to reasonable value ranges. make a backup copy of that file, and read the paragraphs for both the options in the man page of xorg.conf
[20:13] <simplexio> Jophish: little lover in that thread is talking about nvclock wich seesms to be "better" but potentialy dangerous fix
[20:13] <Jophish> ah
[20:13] <\Kira> endoubt: I hate samba, I got it to work, and then it just stopped working the next day, I couldnt figure out what changed :(. Oh well, Im putting linux on the windows machine anyways, now :)
[20:13] <Jophish> I think I'm goin to stick with that small script, as it seems to work ok
[20:13] <TechFrenzy> What is the command to list what groups you have available on your ubuntu build?
[20:14] <Jophish> presumably I can change the "10" in it to any number 0-100
[20:14] <Jophish> now, how would I make a script, so I would say brightness 10
[20:14] <Jophish> or brightness 20
[20:14] <Roland123> how do i turn acpi off?
[20:14] <assem> hi, why is there no ekiga 3.0 package available? am i missing a repository or something?
[20:14] <endoubt> TechFrenzy:
[20:14] <endoubt> cat /etc/group | more
[20:15] <Jophish> and It would select the right number to pass
[20:15] <imme-emosol> How can I keep track of my error-log (as in some sort of auto-refresh)
[20:15] <alex_21> Her you go
[20:15] <kusanagi_> anybody knows how to use locate throught all my disks?
[20:15] <gnutron> imme-emosol: tail -f error-log
[20:15] <n8tuser> imme-emosol-> which log file?
[20:15] <kusanagi_> and not only /home
[20:15] <alex_21> N*tuser The results are http://paste.ubuntu.com/78412/
[20:15] <oskar-> TechFrenzy:  awk -F: '{ printf "%s ", $1 }' /etc/group
[20:15] <oskar-> ;-)
[20:15] <TechFrenzy> Thanks all!
[20:15] <simplexio> kusanagi_: /etc/updatedb.conf , then updatedb then locate stuff
[20:15] <endoubt> kusanagi_: usually a "sudo updatedb" before you run the locate helps
[20:16] <n8tuser> alex_21-> you dont have the courtesy to type my nick correctly?
[20:16] <imme-emosol> n8tuser: The one I need to understand why my computer keeps locking up... :P   (/var/log/dmesg | kernel | syslog
[20:16] <imme-emosol> gnutron: merci.
[20:17] <n8tuser> imme-emosol-> yeah use tail -f /var/log/logfilehere
[20:17] <simplexio> kusanagi_: /etc/updatedb.conf defines updatedb conf, its dosnt help run updatedb is you forbid it to read other than hom
[20:17] <n8tuser> alex_21-> ifconfig results?
[20:17] <caaakeeey> further research indicates that ubuntu doesnt like my monitor
[20:18] <caaakeeey> VP181b viewsonic just breaks
[20:18] <alex_21> N8tuser I am blind, so I am trying my best with nics
[20:18] <kusanagi_> i guess i have to add the paths to the updatedb.conf for the locate to look in all my hd thanks simplexio
[20:18] <n8tuser> alex_21-> what are you talking about blind?
[20:19] <oskar-> caaakeeey:  also wrong resolution?
[20:19] <vandrar> hi
[20:19] <imme-emosol> n8tuser: He means as in: cannot see.
[20:19] <alex_21> N8tuser, Blind, cant see, visually impaired person, VIP, etc
[20:19] <imme-emosol> n8tuser: A few hours before he was asking about orca.
[20:19] <caaakeeey> yeah, cant get it higher than 640x480
[20:19] <alex_21> Here is the results of what you asked for N8tuser http://paste.ubuntu.com/78412/
[20:19] <vandrar> hi
[20:20] <imme-emosol> American style: visually challenged.
[20:20] <oskar-> caaakeeey:  i would try setting HorizSync and VertRefresh in the monitor section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to reasonable value ranges. make a backup copy of that file, and read the paragraphs for both the options in the man page of xorg.conf. please give a feedback, if that helped
[20:20] <endoubt> alex_21: so orca relays everything in this chat room audibly to you?
[20:20] <gabri> ciao
[20:20] <n8tuser> alex_21-> you can not see, just curious how are you seing what i typed?
[20:20] <tonyyarusso> caaakeeey: can you get the proper resolution with a different monitor and the same video card?
[20:20] <caaakeeey> yup
[20:20] <assem> are there ekiga 3.0 packages available? is there a plan to support it soon?
[20:20] <caaakeeey> tried with 2 different monitors
[20:20] <Dillizar> how can i enter emerald settings
[20:20] <ItSP_TMP> hi
[20:20] <caaakeeey> so its definitely the monitor ubuntu combo
[20:20] <alex_21> I am on a Mac using Voiceover for all of you who are currious
[20:20] <kaziah> where is JVM? installer asked me to enter the path
[20:21] <Al1> n8tuser: im all backed up
[20:21] <caaakeeey> oskar: ill try that
[20:21] <jerbear> how do i watch video in firefox? for instance, the apple trailers site
[20:21] <tonyyarusso> assem: To the latter question, I believe 3.0 will likely be in 9.04.
[20:21] <endoubt> alex_21: that must be incredibly annoying, to hear all us jackasses talking at once
[20:21] <Dillizar> !compiz
[20:21] <assem> tonyyarusso, yikes! =[
[20:21] <kusanagi_> why this line in updatedb.conf? PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /var/spool /media".... If /media is not updated most of the files wont be found (all your other hard drives)... plus not all the fs are mounted all the time... shoudl i erase /media from there?
[20:21] <tonyyarusso> !quicktime | jerbear
[20:21] <Roland123> where can i see current cpu speed?
[20:22] <Dillizar> Roland123,
[20:22] <n8tuser> alex_21-> alright, per what you pasted, you have two nic cards that are on the same lan,  you have to disable one of them and do a /etc/init.d/networking restart to fix your route table that has two gateway entries
[20:22] <tonyyarusso> assem: It's quite possible that someone has it in the meantime, although I don't know off the top of my head.  Lemme look around for a bit.
[20:22] <oskar-> Roland123:  in the file /etc/cpuinfo
[20:22] <oskar-> Roland123:  in the file /proc/cpuinfo
[20:22] <oskar-> sorry ;)
[20:22] <endoubt> kusanagi_: most of the time all your disks are mounted there so it's a good idea to leave it if you want to search all the disks
[20:22] <Dillizar> Roland123,  on your panel you can add a CPU monitor or just go to settings
[20:22] <alex_21> Well, it is manageable, and I do have a very, very little site. Imme-emosol I forgot about the American Styl "Visually Challenged"
[20:22] <n8tuser> Al1-> you ready for that debootstrap install? you have a new partition right?
[20:23] <kusanagi_> that line is to prevent the updatedb to look in /media endoubt
[20:23] <Al1> n8tuser: no one sec
[20:23] <kusanagi_> is it done for a reason?
[20:23] <endoubt> kusanagi_: oh ok, yea, then take it out
[20:23] <kusanagi_> :)
[20:23] <kusanagi_> thanks endoubt
[20:23] <endoubt> kusanagi_: I've always wondered how to get locate to search all the disks, I never looked into it much though
[20:23] <caaakeeey> oskar
[20:23] <n8tuser> alex_21-> you follow what am saying right? having two gateways, it confuses your system as to which gateway it will take
[20:23] <endoubt> kusanagi_: just learned to use "find"
[20:23] <imme-emosol> alex_21: lol
[20:23] <oskar-> yes?
[20:23] <alex_21> n8tuser I don't know how to disable one of them, can you explai?
[20:24] <caaakeeey> i cant seem to find what im meant to be editing
[20:24] <kusanagi_> endoubt,  too much data in all my disks... :) i have to learn to use find tho ;)
[20:24] <n8tuser> alex_21-> to disable,  sudo  ifdown eth0    assuming you want to disable eth0 , replace eth0 with eth1 if you want to disable eth1
[20:24] <jerbear> i don't see any package called totem-*-firefox-plugin
[20:24] <mo> i have an encrypted root partition on a raid0 md device... initramfs fails to boot from it, any ideas?
[20:25] <oskar-> caaakeeey:  is there no file /etc/X11/xorg.conf?  if not, have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[20:25] <imme-emosol> jerbear: do you see some package starting with totem-   and ending with -firefox-plugin ?
[20:25] <caaakeeey> there is, its just like 15 lines long
[20:26] <alex_21> I get the respone eth1 not configured when I run ifdown eth1
[20:26] <jerbear> imme-emosol: that's what i'm saying... there are no packages like totem-{gstreamer,xine}-firefox-plugin
[20:26] <Roland123> is apm installed by default?
[20:26] <Hikefu> it's totem-mozilla
[20:26] <ruthgard> where can I learn more about creating my own ubuntu deb package?
[20:27] <diffred> will upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 in my macbook santa rosa mess up my system? (was very hard for me getting triple booting in a macbook)
[20:27] <imme-emosol> jerbear: okay.
[20:27] <n8tuser> alex_21-> paste the results of  ifconfig  -a
[20:27] <Al1> n8tuser: i have Gnome partition editor how do i use it to create a new partition...
[20:27] <jerbear> totem-mozilla is installed, but i still can't view video in firefox
[20:27] <imme-emosol> jerbear: apt-cache search firefox plugin totem            gives me:       totem-mozilla - Totem Mozilla plugin
[20:27] <imme-emosol> jerbear: ghehe, beat me. :P
[20:27] <GodfatherofEire2> Anybody know what the command for OO.o systray quickstarter is?
[20:28] <n8tuser> Al1-> you have unused partition ? use that or you may have to resize and reduce an existing partition to accomodate a new install
[20:28] <Hikefu> jerbear, if you don't have the codecs it won't play either. Type about:plugins in firefox and see if you see it.
[20:28] <oskar-> diffred:  make a backup of the parts, that were difficult... then you may want to try it
[20:28] <n8tuser> Al1-> you have unused partition ? use that or you may have to resize and reduce an existing partition to create a new one
[20:28] <Hikefu> jerbear, I used mozilla-mplayer anyway. I just install that.
[20:28] <jerbear> Hikefu: what plugins are required to view quicktime?
[20:29] <diffred> oskar-: the parts that were difficult were to set up correct disk partitions in order not to mess up the bootloader, can't make a backup of that heh
[20:29] <Hikefu> jerbear, if you install vlc, it installs all the plugins you need i think. other programs use them.
[20:29] <Al1> n8tuser: i have 5 partitions how to check if they are unused?
[20:29] <alex_21> Here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78419/ n8tuser
[20:29] <Al1> n8tuser: nvm
[20:29] <n8tuser> Al1-> also   type which debootstrap  if its installed it will tell you - you have it -- if not, sudo apt-get install debootstrap
[20:29] <tonyyarusso> assem: All right, here we go.  https://edge.launchpad.net/~sevmek/+archive has builds for gutsy and hardy.  You can use the source package from that to build it for Intrepid.
[20:29] <Hikefu> jerbear, I use vlc for the plugins, then install mozilla-mplayer for firefox. Never have an issue, apart from sometimes configuring the right video output which can be done from firefox.
[20:30] <jerbear> i don't understand why people love vlc. every time i've used it, it's never impressed me
[20:30] <endoubt> Hikefu: I don't think vlc installs codecs globally, my totem still can't play anything :-)
[20:30] <assem> tonyyarusso, great, thanks so much.
[20:30] <endoubt> I love VLC
[20:30] <marius> hello, i have a big problem... i'm new in linux and i made a mistake, i had change the permisions for /tmp directory and now my os (ubuntu 8.10) doesn't start anymore
[20:30] <Hikefu> endo602, then w32codecs from medibuntu?
[20:30] <Al1> n8tuser: k
[20:30] <jerbear> endoubt: what the heck is so great about it? i'm not trolling.. i genuinely want to know
[20:31] <awmcclain> How can I determine if my distribution of ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit?
[20:31] <marius> is there any posibility to restore the default permisions ?
[20:31] <tonyyarusso> marius: a) it's possible you can still boot in recovery mode and fix them.   If not you'll need to use a live CD, mount the partition, and then fix it from there.
[20:31] <alex_21> Use a live cd and change them back
[20:31] <assem> awmcclain, uname -a
[20:31] <endoubt> jerbear: it plays anything without isntalling codecs, it plays shoutcast, dvds, can stream music through the network, light footprint, the list goes on and on
[20:31] <Al1> n8tuser: k i have
[20:31] <n8tuser> alex_21-> thats odd, you issued sudo ifdown eth1 and it tells you   interface eth1 not configured..  do it again please
[20:31] <gnutron> marius: can you boot recovery mode, or live cd chmod 1777 /tmp/
[20:31] <John101> Hello all, how do I connect from an XP machine to an Ubuntu without making any "hard" modifications to the Ubuntu?
[20:31] <Hikefu> hikefu, they might be included in ubuntu-restricted-extras. I just install those, vlc, mozilla-mplayer, etc., and i have everything i need.
[20:31] <oskar-> diffred:  a upgrade to 8.10 should not change anything in the partition table, but only inside the used filesystems and maybe the boot sector or mbr (like it does, when upgrading only grub, for example)
[20:31] <n8tuser> Al1-> how much space did you have for your new partition?
[20:32]  * Mariele hello everybody 
[20:32] <DeepThoughts> Ok. Right now I hate Ubuntu. What dark magic do I have to perform to be able to convert videos to a format that my iPod can use? I've found the script mp4ize (I want a commandline solution) but that doesn't work since Ffmpeg doesn't support xvid...
[20:32] <John101> Trying to help a friend who is somehow a "newb" to linux :D
[20:32] <Al1> n8tuser: i havent managed to create it yet but i have plenty of space
[20:32] <jerbear> endoubt: last time i used it... i tried to fullscreen it, and it covered both of my monitors. that's just plain wrong
[20:32] <gnutron> marius: do recursive if you changed it that way.
[20:32] <alex_21> n8tuser Same thing "not configured"
[20:32] <n8tuser> Al1-> well create it, we need to get going,
[20:32] <Al1> n8tuser: 36 gigs
[20:32] <Bax> using Feisty, in the gui I've tried clicking "Desktop Effects" and I get the error message "The Composite extension is not available".  I'm curious about this because I believe I've accessed that program before to set my screensaver.  And no I don't know what I've done since then to my computer except remove some synaptic packages, which if that's the case which package am I missing?
[20:33] <n8tuser> alex_21-> and if you do  sudo ifdown eth0    ?
[20:33] <endoubt> jerbear: it might have a setting somewhere, but I don't have much ubuntu dual head experience, Just recently got two flat panels
[20:33] <awmcclain> assem: Hrm. Just seems to spew out what, the kernel version? Does i686 arch mean that it's 64bit?
[20:33] <tonyyarusso> assem: actually, even better - https://launchpad.net/~tlbdk/+archive
[20:33] <gnutron> why do people insist on doing ceazy things. hrmm. sorry wasting bandwidth.
[20:33] <jerbear> endoubt: everything else works correctly. it was just vlc that didn't
[20:33] <n8tuser> Al1-> make that partition with an  ext3 filesystem
[20:33]  * gnutron swear at his spelling, crazy. sorry.
[20:33] <vladislav> !list
[20:34] <n8tuser> Al1-> btw thats way too big, you do have a /home in a separate partition right?
[20:34] <vladislav> !rules
[20:34] <caaakeeey1> i tried editing that file
[20:34] <Al1> n8tuser: back up
[20:34] <caaakeeey1> cant save it though
[20:34] <gnutron> awmcclain: no it doesnt
[20:34] <n8tuser> Al1-> what
[20:34] <alex_21> Oops, it seems to have taken eht0 down, and that was how I was sshing in
[20:34] <n8tuser> ?
[20:34] <Al1> n8tuser: im trying to create a partition
[20:34] <endoubt> jerbear: I added the dual head setup after ubuntu was installed on an nvidia 6600, I'm wondering if it will work if I just reinstall buntu
[20:34] <Al1> n8tuser: but its not letting me
[20:34] <Al1> n8tuser: im trying to resize
[20:35] <awmcclain> gnutron: Linux charon 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[20:35] <n8tuser> Al1-> you have to resize and then create a new partition
[20:35] <Hikefu> jerbear, http://www.medibuntu.org/, go there and read up and you can get everything you need.
[20:35] <Al1> n8tuser: ok how much do i need?
[20:35] <n8tuser> alex_21-> what do you mean sshing in?  the system is not right next to you?
[20:35] <gnutron> awmcclain: a pentium 4 32 bit will say the same  thing, try 'uname -m' i think.
[20:35] <GodfatherofEire2> Does anybody know the command for starting the OO.o systray icon?
[20:36] <n8tuser> Al1-> do you have a separate /home in your current install?
[20:36] <awmcclain> gnutron: i686. uname -i gives me unknown.
[20:36] <n8tuser> Al1-> do you have a separate partition for /home in your current install?
[20:36] <mo> which channel to get support vor crypt partitions/ mount at boottime ?
[20:36] <Al1> n8tuser: i dont think so
[20:36] <alex_21> N8tuser, I am using a Mac to ssh in, since that is how I can read the output
[20:36] <gnutron> awmcclain: uname -m   ....must work.
[20:36] <mamatat_> how can i tell which options were compiled with my kernel?
[20:37] <alex_21> n8tuser, smily, or elsi I am typing in the dark, lol
[20:37] <Telemah> !rules
[20:37] <n8tuser> alex_21-> i didnt know your layout, sorry if you got disconnected,  i should have asked first
[20:37] <awmcclain> gnutron: i686. That's all she wrote. :\
[20:37] <Al1> n8tuser: i have 5 partitions /dev/sda1-5

[20:37] <arooni_____> i have ubuntu hardy, and a canon powershot i890... when i hook up the usb it says do you want to 'import photos' and i say yes... but nothing happens... ideas?
[20:37] <endoubt> GodfatherofEire2: just do the last step
[20:37] <Telemah> hahahah
[20:37] <gnutron> awmcclain: it will say 686, whats the real qustion again?
[20:37] <oskar-> caaakeeey1:  did you put a sudo before the editor command?
[20:37] <n8tuser> Al1-> hang for a few okay?
[20:37] <Al1> n8tuser: my current boot is sda4
[20:37] <Hikefu> GodfatherofEire2, and Alltray, an app that allows you to dock just about any program there.
[20:37] <GodfatherofEire2> Wait, endoubt, theres the problem
[20:37] <awmcclain> gnutron: Is my distribution 32 or 64-bit.
[20:37] <GodfatherofEire2> I do that, and it doesnt start on startup
[20:38] <endoubt> GodfatherofEire2: oh
[20:38] <n8tuser> Al1-> can you paste the results of   sudo fdisk -l
[20:38] <caaakeeey1> oskar
[20:38] <GodfatherofEire2> Why I've been tryin to figure out the command
[20:38] <caaakeeey1> how do i save the file >.<
[20:38] <Telemah> how do u ppl know so much aout UNIX ?
[20:39] <n8tuser> alex_21-> do you have to walk over to the other side to enable the eth0?
[20:39] <imme-emosol> Telemah: Just use it and google stuff.
[20:39] <Hikefu> awmcclain, uname -m from the command line will tell you
[20:39] <n8tuser> Telemah-> by drinking lots of coffee and eating cold pizza
[20:39] <n8tuser> and liters of soda
[20:39] <Telemah> nice
[20:39] <Telemah> :D
[20:39] <awmcclain> Hikefu: Right. unknown. Probably a virtualization problem.
[20:39] <awmcclain> Ah well.
[20:39] <Telemah> i like pizza and soda too
[20:39] <Al1> n8tuser: fdisk: invalid option -- I

[20:40] <meistergrado1> Question: How do I determine which number partition has my windows XP install on it?
[20:40] <n8tuser> Telemah-> seriously, we read books or manuals
[20:40] <meistergrado1> trying to reconfigure GRUB.
[20:40] <gnutron> awmcclain: uname -a or uname -r might say, let me look
[20:40] <endoubt> GodfatherofEire2: this is from the OpenOffice manual pdf "In Linux/KDE, you can use KDocker to have OOo loaded and ready for
[20:40] <endoubt> use at startup. KDocker is not part of OOo; it is a generic “systray app
[20:40] <endoubt> docker” that is helpful if you open OOo often."

[20:40] <n8tuser> Al1-> post in pastebin
[20:40] <Al1> n8tuser: ok
[20:40] <zsquareplusc> awmcclain: if  uname -m   says x86_64 its 64 bits, 32 bits otherwise
[20:40] <GodfatherofEire2> Thanks endoubt
[20:40] <n8tuser> Al1-> can you paste the results of   sudo fdisk -l    thats an ell
[20:40] <gnutron> awmcclain: zsquareplusc is correct, thx zsquareplusc
[20:40] <endoubt> GodfatherofEire2: I'm sure there's something similar for gnome
[20:41] <Al1> n8tuser: riight
[20:41] <Gracenotes> hi, all :) I've seriously screwed something up trying to reinstall ALSA after updating to 2.6.24-22-generic on Hardy (it's caused a lot to stop working).

[20:41] <sammyF> hey there. Any way to have a fix IP address on boot without deinstalling the smegged up network manager?
[20:41] <meistergrado1> Question: How do I determine which number partition has my windows XP install on it? trying to reconfigure GRUB.
[20:41] <sploozer>  hey....I'm working on configuring my linux box so squid will authenticate users via active directory using NTLM authenication, has anyone tried that before?
[20:41] <n8tuser> sammyF-> man interfaces
[20:42] <Telemah> I made a mistake when istallin my ubuntu i used the partition making windows program(forgot the name *sigh) and it seems that i split it into 300 and 700 GB but i intended the 700 to be for my ubuntu and the 300 to be for my win but frankly it went all wrong and now its the opposite
[20:42] <gnutron> awmcclain: you're running 32 bit
[20:42] <GodfatherofEire2> Yep, that was it
[20:42] <zsquareplusc> awmcclain: you try to find out what you run or what your machine is capable of?
[20:43] <Telemah> can i fix it
[20:43] <Telemah> ?
[20:43] <awmcclain> zaquareplusc: I'm trying to determine if some problems affecting 64-bit installations of 8.10 running under vmware affect me, but it doesn't look like it.
[20:43] <sammyF> n8tuser: thanks. Going to try it out. The network manager keeps on putting me on dynamic IP after everyboot which is a real killer when you're running a FTP server
[20:43] <Al1> n8tuser: did you get that?
[20:43] <xan_> hie :)
[20:43] <scoobymad555_> hey all :)
[20:43] <awmcclain> zsquareplusc, gnutron: Thank you!
[20:43] <n8tuser> Al1-> nope,
[20:43] <sploozer> anyone squid and NTLM auth?
[20:43] <awmcclain> Is there any way to turn off anti-aliasing in the terminal?
[20:44] <Synx_hm> none of this middle man shit, we all know more than these phone techs anywyas

[20:44] <eolo999> hi i have an 8.10 amd 64. I installed ubuntu-xen-server but no bootable kernel appears in grub menu.lst... where am i wrong?
[20:44] <GodfatherofEire2> !pastebin > Al1
[20:44] <scoobymad555_> anyone got some time to help out with video4linux at all? :)
[20:44] <endoubt> meistergrado1: wb, here's a great writeup http://www.cameratim.com/computing/linux/restoring-grub
[20:44] <ayoub> hi all
[20:44] <eolo999> *no bootable xen kernel {of course}
[20:44] <gnutron> awmcclain: having trouble reading the term? try editing the default term profile from the xterm menu bar on top.
[20:44] <xan_> somebody knows why i cant ejecute the xsi setup for linux ?
[20:44] <steerpike> hi! how do i install the KERNEL SOURCE?
[20:45] <steerpike> apt-get install linux-source??
[20:45] <Flannel> !kernel | steerpike
[20:45] <n8tuser> steerpike-> have you tried to google for such info?
[20:45] <steerpike> n8tuser: yes, and it doesn't work
[20:45] <gnutron> steerpike: google kernel compile the ubuntu way.
[20:45] <xan_> somebody knows why i cant ejecute the xsi setup for linux ?
[20:45] <ayoub> i want to connect to secure network using an equivalent of checkpoint secure remote client. do you have any idea ??
[20:45] <n8tuser> steerpike-> what did not work?
[20:45] <steerpike> that's where i got apt-get install linux-source
[20:45] <qb|away> how do i open a port in ubuntu?
[20:46] <awmcclain> gnutron: It's just that anti-aliasing fixed-width fonts, especially in the terminal is an annoyance. I can deal with a smoothed monaco 12 if I have to though.
[20:46] <endoubt> take it easy, going for reboot
[20:46] <Al1> n8tuser: im still pretty new sorry
[20:46] <Roland123> why is kacpid using a lot of cpu only when idle?
[20:46] <Telemah> what was the offtopic channel again ?
[20:46] <n8tuser> steerpike-> thats incomplete info.. sudo apt-cache search linux-source and download the one compatible to your current one
[20:46] <l43a2> ubuntu-offtopic
[20:47] <qb|away> is it possible to open a port in ubuntu?
[20:47] <l43a2> what one u want to open
[20:47] <n8tuser> qb|away-> you want to serve a service?
[20:47] <qb|away> 3306
[20:47] <qb|away> mysql
[20:47] <qb|away> :)
[20:47] <l43a2> r u behind a router?
[20:47] <meistergrado1> Question: How do I determine which partition number has my windows XP install on it? trying to reconfigure GRUB.
[20:47] <qb|away> I don't want to open it externally
[20:47] <steerpike> n8tuser: what?
[20:47] <qb|away> just so I can connect in the intranet
[20:47] <ayoub> any idea ??
[20:47] <steerpike> oh
[20:47] <Flannel> qb|away: You won't have to "open" it, MySQL will do it's thing, and it'll open
[20:48] <zsquareplusc> meistergrado1: fdisk -l  is handy
[20:48] <l43a2> yea
[20:48] <n8tuser> steerpike-> thats incomplete info.. sudo apt-cache search linux-source and download the one compatible to your current one
[20:48] <l43a2> it should be open already
[20:48] <qb|away> darn, then something must be bust
[20:48] <qb|away> thanks for the info
[20:48] <Flannel> qb|away: Your MySQL could be bound to localhost only.
[20:48] <n8tuser> !enter | steerpike
[20:48] <zsquareplusc> qb|away: mysql is probably configured to only accept connections from localhost. loko at its config
[20:49] <imme-emosol> l43a2: You could type (hdX,X)/<Tab><Tab>   Which should display the files on that partition(if GRUB can reach them)   (replace X`es with a number 0-9)
[20:49] <n8tuser> it does not make sense to have mysql only serve from localhost if clients are on different host
[20:49] <meistergrado1> zsquareplusc: result - Cannot open /dev/sda
[20:50] <qb|away> thanks zsquareplusc
[20:50] <gf_1> Hello everyone, I am having a problem with no sound, where should I go to find help?
[20:50] <zsquareplusc> meistergrado1: then put a "sudo" in front of the line :-)
[20:50] <meistergrado1> zsquareplusc: Muahaha.
[20:50] <gnutron> steerpike: try this for info - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[20:50] <Telemah> Anyone has a link to a linux compatible version of the DevC++ ????
[20:50] <gf_1> I have done a fresh install of ubuntu and when I do the test sound I get nothing

[20:52] <gf_1> Can anyone help me get sound working on my 7.10 install please?
[20:52] <COner> i thikn it is a problem with compiz, but i can't find out how to disable it from a terminal, since i cannot see what is going on
[20:52] <n8tuser> Al1-> post in pastebin
[20:52] <FFEMTcJ> if i want to set up static ip's on my machines instead of dynamic is it best to use /etc/network/interfaces or the network manager program?
[20:53] <steerpike> hello?
[20:53] <meistergrado1> zsquareplusc: It looks like my NTFS part is /sda3. My linux part is (0,0), but on this list it says /sda1. Am I correct to assume that windows XP is (0,2)?
[20:53] <Al1> n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78423/
[20:53] <n8tuser> FFEMTcJ-> interfaces file
[20:53] <zsquareplusc> meistergrado1: yes, you are. grub has its own zero based counting :/
[20:53] <slanka> kill compiz and then metacity
[20:53] <COner> i can't get anything to display, everything is white when i load up, normal/failsafe/ any other choice, but when i hit ctrl+backspace the white goes away for a second, and i see what my desktop really is, then it restarts
[20:53] <COner> slanka how do i kill compiz w/ terminal tho
[20:53] <meistergrado1> zsquareplusc: great. i'll edit that into menu.lst then
[20:53] <Azazel-AZ> pkill compiz
[20:53] <COner> since i can't see anything at all....
[20:54] <steerpike> what does this mean.. Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_intrepid_main_source_Sources
[20:54] <FFEMTcJ> n8tuser: do i need to disable (or is it then possible to uninstall the network program? and what about when using it on my laptop with wireless?
[20:54] <COner> woot thanks Azazel-AZ and slanka
[20:54] <n8tuser> Al1-> resize sda5 and make at least 3 more partitions, /home  as one of them
[20:54] <Al1> n8tuser: ill try
[20:54] <zsquareplusc> COner: you can get at a text console awith ctrl+alt+F1 /F7 to get back)  you can trype commands there
[20:54] <n8tuser> FFEMTcJ-> disable what? and what about the laptop?
[20:55] <COner> yeah, that is where i did it
[20:55] <gnutron> steerpike: it means it doesnt exist or you dont have permission i imagine. what did you type or do?
[20:55] <Al1> n8tuser: i cant, sda5 is off of sda4 which is my boot partition
[20:55] <gf_1> Can anyone help me to get sound working??
[20:55] <Azazel-AZ> gf_1 I have a bit of experience
[20:55] <Al1> n8tuser: no its not
[20:55] <steerpike> gnutron: apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r)
[20:55] <Al1> n8tuser: sorry.. but still i cant
[20:55] <FFEMTcJ> n8tuser: disable the network manager program.. is it still best to use interfaces when doing a wireless connection?
[20:55] <steerpike> as root
[20:56] <Al1> n8tuser: it is active
[20:56] <COner> how do i disable compiz / advanced desktop settings, i cant' find the setting in System->
[20:56] <gnutron> steerpike: use wget apt-get wants/needs an install or remove argument, you dont want it installed by apt.
[20:56] <n8tuser> Al1-> hang on
[20:57] <n8tuser> FFEMTcJ-> did you read man interfaces  yet?
[20:57] <sammyF> COner: rightclick on your desktop->Change Background
[20:57] <COner> lol argh i fail, thanks
[20:57] <steerpike> gnutron: what?
[20:57] <gnutron> steerpike: hrm, i see the instructtions you followed, but hrmmm. doesnt seem right
[20:58] <tatyawinchu> Hello, first time user of linux / ubuntu .. just booted through LIVE CD .. everything seems to work fine except that there is NO SOUND what so ever .. is it common for live cd sessions ?
[20:58] <bobbyd> hi
[20:58] <Numbers> Hi guys, how do I get linux-source-2.6.27-9. I have 2.6.27-7 but cant seem to get 9 which I need to get my capture card working with this kernel
[20:58] <n8tuser> Al1-> that sdc2 big enuff? can you use that to resize?
[20:58] <gnutron> steerpike: you probably need the source repo enabled
[20:58] <bobbyd> anyone using yaboot know how to get to a command line interface on boot (like giving "single" to the kernel?)
[20:58] <Al1> n8tuser: ye i was trying to, how big should i have it?
[20:58] <steerpike> gnutron: oh
[20:58] <steerpike> gnutron: how?
[20:58] <tatyawinchu> i am somewhat new so please let me know what all information you need .. thank you
[20:58] <stmartin> hello! Can I use Windows fonts on Ubuntu?
[20:59] <FFEMTcJ> n8tuser: i have looked through it, and im familiar with the interfaces file... but i dont see anything that answers my two questions..
[20:59] <Al1> n8tuser: 1 gig enough?
[20:59] <sammyF> stmartin: yes. Windows and ubuntu both use ttf fonts
[20:59] <Kajover> does ubuntu 8.10 support the ps3's graphic card like yellow dog 6.1 does?
[20:59] <gnutron> steerpike: enabled source code in synaptic or /etc/apt/sources.list. update- manager or synaptic is safer
[20:59] <tysin> i tried the ati proprietary driver from their website but it didn´t work for my computer, any suggestions ?
[20:59] <steerpike> oh
[20:59] <Kajover> that should be an easy question for you guys.. Yes or No :P
[20:59] <n8tuser> FFEMTcJ-> you can disable the network manager if you wish, use the command line to configure
[21:00] <tysin> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY
[21:00] <stmartin> sammyF thank you
[21:00] <caaakeeey> ok i fixed it
[21:00] <stmartin> can you tell me where to put the fonts ?
[21:00] <n8tuser> Al1-> for /  1gig is enuff, you need some for /home and swap
[21:00] <tysin> i cant get this card to work with 3dfx stuff
[21:00] <caaakeeey> solution: switch the monitors with the one downstairs
[21:00] <gnutron> stmartin: search for msttcorefonts or something very similiar to that pkg name.
[21:00] <caaakeeey> :/
[21:00] <Al1> n8tuser: ok
[21:00] <oskar-> caaakeeey:  hm, ok...
[21:00] <sammyF> stmartin: /usr/share/fonts

[21:01] <Synx_hm> Need some partition help, it seems my partition table is all sorts of jacked up, while grub loads and ubuntu boots, i have to edit the menu to change root to root(0,2) insdead of what used to work, and fdisk seems to not see the /boot as ext2
[21:01] <quio> Hello.  I am fairley new to Ubuntu.  I have been using it for over a year and have my wireless working but it seems to be slowing down.  I can swap out the HD and put in XP and my XP is much faster.  Is there something I can do?  I use 8.04 hardy.
[21:01] <zsquareplusc> Kajover: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PlayStation_3
[21:02] <Kajover> thank you
[21:02] <tysin> so anyone have any experience with the ati radeon mobility cards and can offer me help?
[21:02] <n8tuser> Al1-> how big is that?
[21:02] <Al1> n8tuser: 35.68 atm but i can make more room
[21:02] <n8tuser> Al1-> can you paste your  mount  results too ?
[21:02] <smooth> Hi - Ready to upgrade to Ibex from Hardy - Want to do the Internet upgrade - Can someone point me to good place to see best way to do this ? ?
[21:02] <fdude> so, my sound disappeared. at the same time rhythmbox keeps crashing whenever i try to play something (the songs dont even start) (firefox might have somewhat crashed too, because it didnt close properly when i tried to close it, had to close the process). anyone know what could be causeing this, and/or how to fix it?
[21:02] <zsquareplusc> tatyawinchu: no, it should have sound. do you have a speaker symbol top right?
[21:02] <mads-> Hi. I have tried installing both ubuntu and windows XP on my brothers laptop. It will not start formating after I have set the partition table. It's like it broken, and somehow not. But it can't format the harddrive - anyone who have tried this? :(
[21:03] <n8tuser> Al1-> 35.68 bytes?

[21:03] <Synx_hm> Need some partition help, it seems my partition table is all sorts of jacked up, while grub loads and ubuntu boots, i have to edit the menu to change root to root(0,2) insdead of what used to work, and fdisk seems to not see the /boot as ext2
[21:03] <tatyawinchu> zsquareplusc:  i turned it up to 100% volume
[21:03] <fdude> only thing i've tried yet is reloading the sound mixer, but i'm not sure if i even did it right D:
[21:03] <n8tuser> Al1-> can you paste your  mount  results too ? <-- thats just a command to show what is mounted

[21:04] <Al1> n8tuser: whats the command?
[21:04] <zsquareplusc> tatyawinchu: and if you select its properties, does the dropdown box have multiple entries?  and do you use digital out or analog?

[21:07] <zsquareplusc> tatyawinchu: that's analog.  sometimes its required to open the mixer applet and activate some of the options in the properties there

[21:07] <ExecutiveOrder> does anyone know how to fix this ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave , i keep getting this error when i try to restart mpd
[21:07] <tysin> Guest98783 is this on a different computer that you can access and be here at the same time?

[21:07] <n8tuser> Al1-> are you using the same host to chat or a different host?
[21:07] <smooth> Thanks
[21:07] <Guest98783> tysin:i connect to a wep wifi now,
[21:08] <tysin> Guest98783, ok so what is the problem again?
[21:08] <Al1> n8tuser: the same
[21:08] <tatyawinchu> zsquareplusc:  is it easy ? i have been a windows user, so i think if its not too difficult, i will keep this chat window open and go step by step if u could guide me through
[21:08] <ziesemer_> \Kira - quick Google search:  http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/05/how-to-install-webmin-in-ubuntu.html
[21:08] <Guest98783> that's my friends' wifi, i want to connect to my own wpa wifi
[21:08] <ExecutiveOrder> please anyone?
[21:08] <bobbyd> is there a way to force a low resolution mode on startup from the command line?
[21:08] <ExecutiveOrder> i cant find anything on the boards that work
[21:08] <oskar-> Guest98783:  please pastebin the output that you get from "ifconfig -a", "iwconfig" and "route -n" while "connected" with wpa
[21:08] <tysin> Guest98783, ok, so when you connect are you using iwconfig ?
[21:08] <\Kira> ziesemer_: yes, I just did that. I guess I should start remembering to check google before asking here :|
[21:09] <icepenguin> Guest57561, try making sure your wifi uses TKIP and not AES *and* TKIP if you can't connect to WPA
[21:09] <Guest98783> no
[21:09] <n8tuser> Al1-> its going to be tuff to assist you if i get you into single user mode, you are planning to do a full re-install anyways right?
[21:09] <zsquareplusc> tatyawinchu: i'm not the expert on sound problems. someone else might have better directions.  i'd open the mixer (rightclick speaker symbol, the 2nd entry) and play witth the options there
[21:09] <Al1> n8tuser: yes
[21:09] <Al1> n8tuser: can we set up a remote assist?
[21:09] <icepenguin> I had that issue last night.  Ubuntu did not want to connect to my router when my WPA2 was set to up TKIP+AES, I had to set it to just TKIP.
[21:09] <Guest98783> tysin,i just installed ubuntu8.10 one hours ago, and  it connect to my wifi wpa automatique
[21:09] <Guest98783> oskar: ok, i ll post it later?
[21:10] <gnutron> tatyawinchu: this is a good page for sound issues- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[21:10] <tatyawinchu> zsquareplusc:   ya all is on there and set to maximum .. i tried almost all options in drop down menu too .. nothing seems to work
[21:10] <alex_21> I have a desperate network problem I must fix. Here is what I get from /tc/init.d/networking restart * reconfiguring network interfaces... rtnetlink no such process. What can I do about it
[21:10] <n8tuser> Al1-> go ahead and do that instead, this time , leave spare partitions, have minimum of 4 partitions -- /, /home, swap and spare
[21:10] <tatyawinchu> gnutron:  visiting
[21:10] <alex_21> I have a desperate network problem I must fix. Here is what I get from /tc/init.d/networking restart * reconfiguring network interfaces... rtnetlink no such process. What can I do about it
[21:10] <oskar-> Guest98783:  don't post it here in the irc ;) only in pastebin
[21:10] <n8tuser> Al1-> remote assist dont work in single user mode
[21:10] <icepenguin> alex_21, not repeating would be good.
[21:10] <Al1> n8tuser: gah
[21:10] <Guest98783> oskar: pastebin?
[21:11] <ziesemer_> alex_21, does the networking still come up, or does it actually fail?
[21:11] <ExecutiveOrder> i edited /etc/firefox/firefoxrc and put aoss in
[21:11] <oskar-> !pastebin > Guest98783
[21:11] <alex_21> Oops, did I repeat, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that
[21:11] <ExecutiveOrder> still ever couple of minutes my sound card dies and i have to roobt
[21:11] <Al1> n8tuser: im not sure i can do a full install by myself
[21:11] <ExecutiveOrder> reboot*
[21:11] <n8tuser> alex_21-> how far is the other  pc you are sshing to?
[21:11] <ziesemer_> alex_21 - Otherwise, there may just be items in the if-up and if-down scripts that are failing, but not causing the restart to actually "fail".
[21:11] <tysin> can someone point me to a driver set for a ati Radeon Mobility card that will work ?
[21:11] <n8tuser> Al1-> you can, have confidence on yourself

[21:11] <Flannel> !es | iam
[21:11] <Flannel> p1und3r: /
[21:11] <Al1> n8tuser: one sec im gonna see if i can get another computer
[21:11] <tysin> plunder /
[21:12] <p1und3r> flannel: how about on a linux based web server
[21:12] <p1und3r> flannel: in a php
[21:12] <Flannel> p1und3r: same thing.
[21:12] <alex_21> n8tuser About 30 feet, but the problem is that I don't know enough about orca to manage it in Terminal'
[21:12] <alex_21> n8tuser About 30 feet, but the problem is that I don't know enough about orca to manage it in Terminal'
[21:12] <p1und3r> flannel: how come when i do it, it starts from whatever directory the file is in
[21:12] <n8tuser> p1und3r-> you can try tomcat6
[21:12] <ptchemist> anyone care to assist with 8.10 and connecting via hostname?  I can only do it via IP since upgrading to 8.10
[21:13] <Flannel> p1und3r: What are you trying to do exactly?
[21:13] <ziesemer_> ptchemist - what do you have setup for DNS, etc.?
[21:13] <n8tuser> alex_21-> i dont know about orca either
[21:13] <p1und3r> Flannel: avoid typing the whole domain name to refer to an image in a folder before it
[21:13] <alex_21> So that is wy n8tuser I am sshing
[21:13] <beph> Anyone remembers the command to show which resolutions your dvi-monitor can handle?
[21:13] <Flannel> p1und3r: In HTML? or what?
[21:13] <ziesemer_> ptchemist - and are you attempting to connect from your 8.10 to another host, or from another host to your 8.10?
[21:13] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> where are you connecting from? same host or different host?
[21:13] <p1und3r> flannel: well html in a php
[21:13] <ptchemist> did standard setup with 8.10 Desktop, want to get webmin running.  Presently have static IP w/ local router to cable modem
[21:14] <stmartin> thx again sammyF
[21:14] <Flannel> p1und3r: right, / in html refers to the document root.  .. is "one level up" and . is the current directory
[21:14] <zsquareplusc> n8tuser: orca is a screen reader. useful for blind people
[21:14] <ptchemist> from one host to 8.10 desktop host
[21:14] <beph> it's xrandr, thx guys:-)
[21:14] <gnutron> beph: google your monitor modelnumber and check the manufacturers specs.
[21:14] <tysin> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY <<-- need help getting drivers for this card
[21:14] <marius> hello, i have a big problem... i'm new in linux and i made a mistake, i had change the permisions for /tmp directory and now my os (ubuntu 8.10) doesn't start anymore
[21:14] <n8tuser> alex_21-> but you get the gist of what i told you earlier, you can only have one interface on same lan unless you know how to manipulate the route table
[21:14] <marius> is there any posibility to restore the default permisions ?
[21:14] <iam_> hola hablamos desde granada
[21:14] <dr_willis> ptchemist,  i just make /etc/hosts files with the hostname/static ip. for all the machines on my network. Thats the easy way at least
[21:14] <ziesemer_> ptchemist - You need to make sure you have some sort of DNS serving your "other host" that points the desired name to your 8.10 host.
[21:14] <p1und3r> flannel: so if its 1 folder above ../ will do the job
[21:15] <n8tuser> zsquareplusc-> thanks for the info
[21:15] <ziesemer_> ptchemist - Or what dr_willis just said.
[21:15] <Flannel> p1und3r: yes
[21:15] <Flannel> !english | iam_
[21:15] <p1und3r> flannel: is "..." 2 levels up?
[21:15] <Flannel> p1und3r: no, ../../
[21:15] <iam_> pero yo quiero en español
[21:15] <Flannel> !es | iam_
[21:15] <p1und3r> flannel: shucks ok, thanks man that was what i needed to understand
[21:15] <alex_21> N8tuser, I just don't know why it doesn't work. I commented out all lines for ehth1 and still nothing
[21:15] <ptchemist> I thought that was what my router was doing since it works for the other Ubuntu boxes (all lower than 8.10)
[21:16] <alex_21> Is this the wrong way to disable it?
[21:17] <n8tuser> alex_21-> paste the results of  ifconfig  -a ;  route -n,  cat /etc/network/interfaces and cat /etc/resolv.conf  again please
[21:17] <Guest98130> ok, oskar: how can i send to u?
[21:18] <oskar-> paste it into http://paste.ubuntu.com and send me the url
[21:18] <ptchemist> Decided to upgrade my desktop box so also upgraded Ubuntu version to 8.10, now can only connect via IP.  Even copied interfaces and resolv.conf from working Ubuntu box but still not working.  Any way to do some simple troubleshooting to determine problem?  I'm not thinking it's the router since it worked before
[21:18] <Synx_hm> Need some partition help, it seems my partition table is all sorts of jacked up, while grub loads and ubuntu boots, i have to edit the menu to change root to root(0,2) insdead of what used to work, and fdisk seems to not see the /boot as ext2
[21:18] <tysin> I have an ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY and need help getting drivers
[21:19] <alex_21> Can someone pleaserepost the links that n*tuser wants. I am really new to irc, and I can't see enough to do this
[21:19] <n8tuser> alex_21-> paste the results of  ifconfig  -a ;  route -n,  cat /etc/network/interfaces and cat /etc/resolv.conf  again please
[21:19] <DrHalan> hey can i still order 64-bit cds at ShipIT?
[21:19] <n8tuser> !pastebin | alex_21
[21:19] <dr_willis> Synx_hm,  saw a guy the otehr day that had bootin gissues if he had a usb thumb drive plugged in. :) Just somtning to check..  sounds like the drives have moved for some reasin in the order grub sees them
[21:20] <claudio> hi
[21:20] <Al1> n8tuser: k here goes
[21:20] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> can you tell us about your network layout?
[21:20] <Guest98130> oskar-: watch the private message that i sent to u
[21:20] <alex_21> Please, I posted these things earlier, but I can't find the links anymore
[21:20] <n8tuser> Al1-> what you got?
[21:20] <n8tuser> alex_21-> you have made changes, so i need the newer one,
[21:20] <gnutron> marius: if you boot a live-cd amd mount  your linux partition, you might be  able to sudo chmod 1777 /tmp/
[21:20] <Al1> n8tuser: ubuntu 8.04 lts dvd
[21:20] <DrHalan> nobody seems to answer. Before 8.10 i could choos if i want ot order 32 or 64 bit CDs now it doesn't seem like i have the choice anymore :(
[21:20] <Synx_hm> dr_willis: ya i had to reinstall grub via DSL on a thumbdrive so that might have changed thigns, but the drive is nolonger connected, the other stange thing is my NTFS partition is says NTFS/HPFS and i should have a hp partition for the quickplay on the laptop that is not showing
[21:21] <Guest98130> oskar-?
[21:21] <n8tuser> Al1-> you want to install from that?
[21:21] <oskar-> Guest98130:  ok, that looks quite good, a configured wlan0, and a default route
[21:21] <tatyawinchu> gnutron:  i red that webpage .. ok i have 1 prob now .. i need to find if this intel mobo soundcard is supported by ALSA
[21:21] <Al1> n8tuser: ye why not?
 i had run a live cd
[21:21] <oskar-> Guest98130:  and that doesn't work?
[21:21] <Al1> n8tuser: makes it easier i guess
[21:21] <gnutron> marius: intel boards should be fine with alsa
[21:21] <Guest98130> no, it doesn't
[21:21] <n8tuser> Al1-> go ahead, you can chat with us while you are doing an install, am not sure though if dvd had the same livecd like features
[21:21] <gnutron> marius: ignore that.
[21:22] <gnutron> tatyawinchu: intel boards should be fine with alsa
[21:22] <tatyawinchu> gnutron:  and terminal window says Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller   .. so is my sound card name 8201JI ?  because that string produces no results on alsa site
[21:22] <thecarlhall> How can I find out where apt-get installed something?
[21:22] <ptchemist> n8tuser -> cable model to Linksys 4 port router (setup for dynamic IPs past x.x.x.110) and box one off this with x.x.x.106.  This connects to second Linksys 4 port router + wireless (wireless off and connected via "expansion" or "hub" port) and box two is off this with x.x.x.109.
[21:22] <oskar-> Guest98130:  can you then also pastebin the same while it is working?
[21:22] <alex_21> N8tuser, send me the things you need in a privae message and I will get them
[21:22] <Al1> n8tuser: k ive got a tutorial up as well
[21:22] <zsquareplusc> alex_21: pastebinit is a package and command that makes it easy to send files to pastebins. that way you do not need to copy and paste
[21:22] <Guest98130> it never worked.....
[21:22] <ptchemist> n8tuser -> whenever I try to go from box one to box two (trying to get webmin access) I get nothing unless using IP address, can't user hostname
[21:23] <Guest98130> oskar: u mean the wep wifi?
[21:23] <ptchemist> n8tuser -> with old box on older version of Ubuntu on same linksys (second one) everything worked fine
[21:23] <oskar-> Guest98130:  yes, for comparison
[21:23] <IDWMaster> Has anyone had trouble logging on to bugs.kde.org?
[21:24] <Guest98130> oskar-: ok,wait a monment plw
[21:24] <Al1> n8tuser: it wants me to restart...
[21:24] <gnutron> tatyawinchu: look in system - preferences - default sound card. i'm on hardy by the way. i can name the package that provides that, also look for 'sound' in the menu also.
[21:25] <ryushe> Hi there, I have 2 machines running gnome. One has a menu applet called Slab (which is great) and the other does not. Searching the package repos hasn't turned up any clue as to which package contains Slab. Any ideas?
[21:25] <Fallen_Seraph> is there any command that'll let you open up the gnome browser with super user privelages?
[21:25] <dr_willis> !find slab
[21:25] <ghost3> I have an issue.. my power flickered and when my pc rebooted my screen res is only 800x600...i tried going to recovery mode in grub and tryed to fix xserver "ubuntu 8.10" can anyone help?
[21:25] <okidoki> hi, how to beautify fonts of blackbox desktop environment
 i' ve done this command and now i should restart my computer?
[21:25] <n8tuser> Al1-> go ahead and boot from the dvd
[21:26] <tatyawinchu> gnutron ok .. wierd .. i played around there a bit and now it seems like its working
[21:26] <dr_willis> okidoki,  you may want to check the blackbox homepage on how to manually alter its configs..  or tweak the themes. Not a lot of blackbox users in here. ;)
[21:26] <tatyawinchu> gnutron:  thanks
[21:26] <gnutron> tatyawinchu: asoundconf-gtk is the program name.
[21:26] <Al1> bye
[21:26] <ryushe> dr_willis: thanks, seems my other machine has that package as well. It's not showing up in the applets list though, any ideas on that?
[21:26] <ptchemist> ryushe -> "apt-cache search Slab" turns up a few
[21:26] <dr_willis> ryushe,  ive never heard of it.. :)
[21:26] <gnutron> tatyawinchu: sweet, sound often takes tweaking to work right.
[21:26] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> so you are using the second router as a hub?
[21:26] <IDWMaster> Has anyone had trouble logging onto bugs.kde.org?
[21:27] <ryushe> it's basically a nicer app launcher replacement
[21:27] <ryushe> thanks though
[21:27] <IDWMaster> I think the database at bugs.kde.org is down.
[21:27] <Guest98130> oskar-: ok, i sent it to u
[21:27] <ghost3> I have an issue.. my power flickered and when my pc rebooted my screen res is only 800x600...i tried going to recovery mode in grub and tried to fix xserver "ubuntu 8.10" that didn't correct it..can anyone help?
[21:27] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> and give me some host name and ip addy so its easier to follow through
[21:27] <n8tuser> alex_21-> i pasted to you in private,
[21:28] <ptchemist> n8tuser -> yes I am.  First router has 4 ports that are usable, so one has box one on it, one has another computer on it, third connects to second linksys on a piggyback type configuration.  Then three more computers off second linksys
[21:28] <ptchemist> n8tuser -> here they come...
[21:28] <oskar-> Guest98130:  you connect to two different access points. is that intended?
[21:28] <tatyawinchu> gnutron:  yeah may be i tried to start testing things too soon .. should have given more time for the system to fully boot up i guess =/ ,. i just waited for the dvd rom and hard disk access light to stay down !
[21:28] <Numbers> Hi guys, where can I get linux-source-2.6.27-10 from? Thanks
[21:28] <okidoki> dr_willis: i will study on this again and again
[21:28] <Guest98130> yes,so?
[21:29] <tatyawinchu> anyways.. thanks a loads =) .. i like this ubuntu thing already
[21:29] <Guest98130> oskar-: what's your point?
[21:29] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> which host can not connect using hostname? and what is their ip addy?
[21:29] <hvgotcodes> how do i get around the message "the following packages will be kept back" when i do an apt-get upgrade?
[21:29] <gnutron> tatyawinchu: when 'nix starts, its busy with many things, always give it some times.
[21:29] <snuitje> hvgotcodes: try dist-upgrade instead
[21:29] <tatyawinchu> gnutron:  will remember that .. just a quick Q though , if i install it on HD, the bootup would be much faster right ?
[21:30] <alex_21> Any netvista 2200 users here, just curriousity
[21:30] <gnutron> tatyawinchu: it certainly should be yes.
[21:30] <Al1> n8tuser: ok that did absolutely nothing...
[21:30] <oskar-> Guest98130:  in both cases your connections seems ok. i would check the configuration of the access point, that provides wpa access, if it has itself a default route and can access internet
[21:30] <tatyawinchu> gnutron:  thanks .. cya .. keep up the awsome work =)
[21:30] <Numbers> I have linux-source package installed but it didn't put a source tarball or folder in /usr/src, I need it so that I can get my tv tuner working? linux-source-2.6.27-10 is what i need?
[21:30] <n8tuser> Al1-> you can not boot from the dvd?

[21:32] <hvgotcodes> snuitje: ok thanx.  its wierd sometimes it has no trouble upgrading kernel with just upgrade
[21:32] <snuitje> hvgotcodes: what does it want to remove

[21:32] <Al1> n8tuser: reboot now, manually reboot later, help me boot from the cd
[21:33] <Al1> n8tuser: 2 ddnt do anything for me

[21:34] <tpw_rules> n8tuser: ok, ill try 8.04
[21:34] <gnutron> ptchemist: try omitting the 's' and use http only
[21:34] <tpw_rules> n8tuser: you seem overasked :P
[21:34] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> umm what is the contents of  192.168.1.105   resolv.conf file?
[21:34] <Al1> ok
[21:34] <n8tuser> tpw_rules-> yep, am overwhelmed at the moment
[21:34] <Al1> one sec
[21:35] <ptchemist> gnutron: I want it to only allow https which is does, but only if using IP address
[21:35] <oskar-> Guest98130:  i think, it is connected. can you ping 192.168.1.1 in both cases? maybe it's the dns name resolution... please check (and if you want pastebin) /etc/resolv.conf in both cases
[21:35] <zigovr3> hi all, how can I scroll back the logs in the boot console ? (the one where services are starting up) ?
[21:35] <ptchemist> n8tuser -> x.x.x.105 is XP box...again works fine for all other webmin installations except the problem child
[21:35] <chad_> can anyone help me with a quick issue.  Using network-manager in 8.10 i have duplicates of all my network cards shown ..
[21:35] <zigovr3> some errors appear but they disapear out of screen too quicly
[21:35] <Numbers> zsquareplusc, actually, it might be me being stupid, heh
[21:36] <Guest98130> oskar-: i tried, i can ping 192.168.1.1 in wep connection but i can't ping anything in my wpa wifi
[21:36] <genii> zigovr3: Try shift-pageup

[21:36] <curtmack> The update manager no longer runs automatically when I log in, how can I fix that?
[21:36] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> even an xp box has a resolv.conf file,  look for it..under system32 ?
[21:36] <ptchemist> zigovr3 -> cat <file of interest> | less
[21:36] <zsquareplusc> chad_: do you still have entries in /etc/network/interfaces?
[21:36] <Norrick_> amınıza koyum
[21:36] <zigovr3> genii: nope it doesn't work, it's a simple basic text console
[21:36] <Norrick_> s.a
[21:37] <zigovr3> ptchemist: it's not a file, it's the text console where boot takes place
[21:37] <qcjn> hi all,
[21:37] <chad_> zsquareplusc, yes i have lo
[21:37] <Guest98130> oskar-: by the way, i can ping myself in both cases
[21:37] <palmiye> hi everybody    is there anyone understand samba configuration?
[21:37] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> the xp has to either use resolv.conf or the hosts file
[21:37] <genii> zigovr3: After you're up you can do: dmesg|less                                          to see all that stuff
[21:37] <zigovr3> my question is, are these message logged somewhere in /var/log ? I didn't find them
[21:37] <zsquareplusc> chad_: ok, only lo is ok.  then i have no idea for you
[21:37] <oskar-> Guest98130:  yes, that should be always possible
[21:38] <chad_> zsquareplusc, thnx anyway
[21:38] <zigovr3> genii: no, dmsg only show kernel messages, but it's the messages from the boot init script I'm looking for
[21:38] <n8tuser> Al1-> i lost you? you are booted off the dvd and chatting from it right?
[21:38] <Guest98130> oskar-: so the problem should be in my router?
[21:38] <oskar-> Guest98130:  hm, i don't have further ideas at the moment... sorry
[21:38] <chad_> can anyone help me with a quick issue.  Using network-manager in 8.10 i have duplicates of all my network cards shown ..
[21:38] <Al1> n8tuser: no im regularly booted off the hardrive
[21:38] <Al1> n8tuser: gimme a sec
[21:38] <Guest98130> oskar-: doesn't matter, thanks u, i ll try to dig a little deeper
[21:39] <n8tuser> alex_21-> are you getting the pm?
[21:39] <alex_21> n8tuser http://paste.ubuntu.com/78449/
[21:39] <palmiye> how can i set different passwords for each folder in samba sharing folders?
[21:39] <ptchemist> n8tuser -> only entry in XP hosts is "127.0.0.1       localhost"
[21:40] <n8tuser> alex_21-> route -n;
[21:40] <ziesemer_> palmiye, look at the samba documentation.  Use password-level authentication.
[21:40] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> you can edit that and add the name of the INSver for your ubuntu
[21:40] <benj007> i have had crackling instead of sound suddenly at my morning boot yesterday, it worked fine before, really strange, I think it's due to pulseaudio, I tried to reinstall, uninstall, disable it etc, but the problem is still here

[21:40] <elexodus> Need some help figuring out what device to mount for a new SATA I just put in. Could it be "sg0"?
[21:41] <snuitje> elexodus: dmesg|tail
[21:41] <dr_willis> elexodus,   try 'sudo fdisk -l' and see what looks promising  - ive never seen a sg0
[21:41] <Casperov> ok...need some help..my laptop will not shutdown...its start shutting down , but stops when it says shuttind down asla.....ok....... any1 got an idea?
[21:42] <ptchemist> n8tuser -> yeah I know I can do that, but it doesn't feel like the right way to approach the problem...especially considering I would only do it for the new 8.10 desktop box but none of the other 7.x server boxes.  Is this the only solution or am I missing something obvious?
[21:42] <snuitje> Casperov: what hardware?
[21:42] <alex_21> Sorry, here it is n8tuser http://paste.ubuntu.com/78450/
[21:42] <Mal3ko> how do i set permisson of normal user acc just so they cannot browse and open top level dir such as /, /etc
[21:42] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> you are using static ip addresses?
[21:42] <brantlymedders> Does anyone here have experience with multiple X screens?
[21:43] <elexodus> dr_willis: OK, I am running a Dell server, and I have 4 SATA's set in RAID array. fdisk only pulls up the 4 SATAs. I just installed a 5th SATA to be used outside of the array.
[21:43] <elexodus> snuitje: ???
[21:43] <ptchemist> Mal3ko -> make the permissions on those directories you want secret to no include read/write access to the global user
[21:43] <n8tuser> alex_21-> that should be okay now eh? or still  a problem?
[21:43] <blakeX> howdy!
[21:43] <snuitje> Mal3ko: i wouldn't recommend that, but you could chroot jail your users
[21:43] <barnebie> hey guys...I have no cd rom to boot from-so I transferred the cd files to a partition and attempted to boot from there-the installation dialog came up but now it is trying to detect a cd rom-How do I tell to look for installation files in the hd?
[21:43] <gnutron> brantlymedders: screen -list in a terminal. man screen for switches or screen -help
[21:43] <ptchemist> n8tuser -> all boxes are static
[21:43] <chad_> can anyone help me with a quick issue.  Using network-manager in 8.10 i have duplicates of all my network cards shown ..
[21:44] <dr_willis> elexodus,  no idea then on raids..   could be somthign special you have to do.
[21:44] <Casperov> snuitje: im using a acer travelmate laptop 4500
[21:44] <dr_willis> brantlymedders,  a lot of peopel run multi-Monitors.. if thats waht you mean.
[21:44] <oskar-> how can i easily change the hostname in ubuntu?
[21:44] <snuitje> Casperov: what audio chip does it have
[21:44] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> if you are using static ip address, then you are not configuring them with the correct nameserver or the nameserver you are pointing to is not resolving hostnames
[21:44] <dr_willis> !hostname  | oskar-
[21:44] <ptchemist> oskar -> echo "new name" > /etc/hostname
[21:44] <brantlymedders> I'm just wondering if there's a way to move windows between multiple monitors when they are set up to each be a seperate X screen
[21:44] <Mal3ko> snuitje: could you give me the command?
[21:44] <simplexio> alex_21: route add default gw <gw address> dev eth0
[21:45] <Casperov> intel 8208.....
[21:45] <n8tuser> simplexio-> hes got that okay already, you saw his last post?
[21:45] <blakeX> SecureCRT
[21:45] <blakeX> is pretty elite
[21:45] <oskar-> dr_willis:  thanks :)
[21:45] <barnebie> Is it possible to install from hd as opposed to cdrom/usb/whatever?
[21:45] <blakeX> js.
[21:45] <snuitje> Mal3ko: it's not that simple, but for ftp you only have to set the home dir to /home/foo/./ iirc, or configure it in the ftpd itself
[21:45] <ptchemist> n8tuser -> but correct hostname resolution for the older boxes, not the newer one?
[21:45] <n8tuser> simplexio-> except that it has a metric of 100
[21:46] <Mal3ko> snuitje: it's ssh access
[21:46] <simplexio> alex_21: sorry. route -n wasnt default output so i got little confused
[21:46] <gnutron> brantlymedders: can't help you there.
[21:46] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> you decide if you want the host to use /etc/hosts or use the name servers..
[21:46] <snuitje> Mal3ko: interactive ssh or sftp?
[21:46] <kieranh2> how do I change my workspace using keyboard shortcuts
[21:46] <Casperov> snuitje: my sounds works fine tho...and this problem of not shutting down only happened when  i upgraded to intrepid
[21:46] <snuitje> Mal3ko: like, they want to run a bash shell?
[21:47] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> and apparently you are not giving these hosts a good nameserver or entry in the nameserver is invalid
[21:47] <egosintrick> anyone know how to add a download to Transmission with a link to the torrent?
[21:47] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> with such a small network, its not overly hard to let em all use  /etc/hosts file
[21:48] <Melike> hi
[21:48] <DVA5912> I have looked at the website and it told me to install a package then install cinelerra manual.  I have installed the package but I can not find it in synaptic. Is there a step im missing?
[21:48] <n8tuser> am going to sit on the throne for a few... hold your thoughts for me.. brb
[21:48] <simplexio> ptchemist:  /etc/hosts in linux windwos\system32\hosts or install bind, configure it and add its ip to nameserver list

[21:49] <alex_21> Anyone have a solution to the networking problem I am having. Here is my output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78450/
[21:49] <snuitje> Mal3ko: check out jailer jailtool or makejail
[21:49] <techman224> Hey, does anyone know how to change morrors in ubuntu server
[21:49] <techman224> mirrors in ubuntu server 8.10
[21:49] <Mal3ko> snuitje: im not sure if i understand what you asked..but if users login thru ssh on my server, they can cd to other user home folder and top level dir..i don't want them to look at files inside other users folder...
[21:50] <gnutron> techman224: in synaptic there is a preference option to choose mirrors.
[21:50] <snuitje> Mal3ko: why didn't you say so ^_^
[21:50] <Mal3ko> ^_^
[21:50] <Mal3ko> so the solution is makejail?
[21:50] <tenehawk> anyone here have experiance with overclocking?
[21:50] <tysin> hey i finally figured out what some of my problems might be
[21:50] <snuitje> Mal3ko: no
[21:50] <snuitje> Mal3ko: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow adduser
[21:51] <Mal3ko> what's that
[21:51] <snuitje> Mal3ko: a command, run it
[21:51] <tysin> following http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide , I find out that i am using mesa rendering but i cannot remove the xserver-glx package (it was never installed) so i am unsure how to go from there
[21:51] <guntbert> snuitje: what will that do?
[21:51] <genii> Mal3ko: It reconfigures the default settings of new users when they get created
[21:51] <snuitje> guntbert: what, dpkg-reconfigure?
[21:52] <DVA5912> I have looked at the website and it told me to install a package then install cinelerra manual.  I have installed the package but I can not find it in synaptic. Is there a step im missing?
[21:52] <guntbert> snuitje: the -plow
[21:52] <snuitje> guntbert: priority low, so it'll ask all questions
[21:52] <alex_21> I am on borrowed time as my machine will disapear of the face of the LAN soon if I don't do something about my server
[21:53] <guntbert> snuitje: ok ,thx sorry to interrupt :)

[21:54] <simplexio> tysin: just follow guide
[21:54] <zigovr3> the file /sbin/bootlogd doesn't seem installed by default

[21:54] <kbrooks> !language | tysin
[21:54] <DIFH-iceroot> tysin: keep cool or leave please
[21:54] <gnutron> techman224: /etc/apt/source.list   ... back it up first, and check the ubuntu site for the addresses of the repositories for your version.
[21:55] <tysin> yes its english, sorry if i mispell some stuff

[21:55] <zigovr3> DIFH-iceroot: does it look in non installed packages too ?
[21:55] <tysin> and?
[21:55] <snuitje> Mal3ko: did you get the debconf question?
[21:55] <DIFH-iceroot> zigovr3: yes

[21:56] <gnutron> DVA5912: could be
[21:56] <tysin> so you should see where i stated the problem i am having that i followed the installation guide and found the problem being that it is using mesa drivers, and that it told me to remove xserver-xgl and when i tried to it says they were not installed...
[21:56] <alex_21> Here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78460/
[21:56] <tysin> so anyways, ANYONE want to throw a suggestion around?

[21:56] <antr4xx> e

[22:01] <alex_21> n8tuser, what line should I add, and where?
[22:01] <kitche> !ATI > tysin are you using this guide?
[22:01] <n8tuser> alex_21-> the paste you did earlier looks that your configs are okay, you have eth0 left no more eth1
[22:02] <n8tuser> alex_21-> add one line to your /etc/network/interfaces file     metric 0

[22:02] <Washbottle> is it possible to allow more disk space to users than the standard?
[22:02] <DIFH-iceroot> kitche: then just help him, i am on a eeepc here and the screen is not that big, so i dont want to scroll for any question started with "anyone know". i think its not to hard to post a good and short question but ok, lets forget it, just help him and anyone is lucky :)
[22:02] <jerbear> i've installed the vlc plugin and mplayer plugin for firefox, but it still tries to use totem. what am i doing wrong?
[22:02] <tysin> i using an old ati card, it is a ati radeon mobility m5 ly
[22:03] <tysin> sorry... 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY
[22:03] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> resolved now?
[22:03] <ptchemist> jerbear -> you need to tell firefox what to use, not just install it
[22:03] <kitche> tysin: hmm not sure if that's actually supported by fglrx or not
[22:03] <DIFH-iceroot> Washbottle: what standard?
[22:03] <cufflinks> hello, I'm having trouble getting my wireless working in Ubuntu x86-64 on a P5E3 Premium board (includes a built-in wireless N card), lsusb reports it to be an "ASUSTek Computer, Inc. 802.11n Network Adapter", there's an included linux driver from ASUS (the driver is for an RTL8187 chipset), but when trying to compile I get a couple errors (I have build-essentials already), and using ndiswrapper doesn't work, I think because I'm using
[22:03] <jerbear> ptchemist: how do i do that?
[22:03] <L1NUX_1NS1DE> I can't ping anything else from the server except for the ip address that it is running on
[22:03] <Lava> hello, i messed up my hardy heron
[22:03] <gnutron> jerbear: try system - preferences - preferred applications, in firefox, you need to change those manually.
[22:04] <Lava> how can i reinstall it?
[22:04] <n8tuser> L1NUX_1NS1DE-> can you make a drawing of your network layout with ip addy on it? pics are worth a thousand words
[22:04] <tysin> it says it is, i can use the fglxinfo but it says...
[22:04] <simplexio> L1NUX_1NS1DE: default route ok ??
[22:04] <ziesemer_> Lava - How'd you install it the first time?
[22:04] <ptchemist> n8tuser -> updated XP box's hosts file...Not what I was looking for but it works.  Of course now I have a different issue with Firefox not wanting to accept my LAN issued certification for https access to webmin...but I'm fed up so just hitting accept here and accept there to get it working
[22:04] <n8tuser> Lava-> start from livecd
[22:04] <Washbottle> DIFH-iceroot: when I add a new user ubuntu allocate 13G in my computer. I was wondering if I can allow more than that
[22:04] <L1NUX_1NS1DE> I thought that maybe the router was to blame so I got my trusty wrt54g out running dd-wrt
[22:04] <tysin> penGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
[22:04] <tysin> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Radeon 20061018 AGP 4x x86/MMX/SSE2 NO-TCL
[22:04] <ziesemer_> Lava - and/or how'd you "mess it up"?  n8tuser's got it right.  Just re-use your CD.
[22:04] <Rook> Hey, if anyones got a second could someone give me a hand with Bind9?
[22:04] <tysin> which brings me back to the problem of ïts using mesa rendering not the ati crap
[22:04] <DIFH-iceroot> Washbottle: you mean a quota for each user?
[22:04] <ziesemer_> Rook - I'll give it a shot.
[22:04] <alex_21> n8tuser, just a blank line before auto eth0?
[22:04] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> well thats the trade off you make when setting for static, you make sure the rest is configured correctly
[22:04] <jerbear> gnutron, ptchemist: the list of available plugins doesn't include vlc or mplayer, only "movie player" and "choose other"
[22:05] <Lava> ziesemer_, n8tuser thanks for replying, installed the first time a long time ago, cd is not an option since everything blocks up
[22:05] <rvanguz> hello, i want to put a new button on my windows, i want to add a button "always on top" besides to minimize, can anybody help me Please!!!
[22:05] <L1NUX_1NS1DE> I was able to ping the router and I was even able to use the web interface to see the computers connect to the LAN but for some reason the server didn't show up
[22:05] <gnutron> jerbear: firefox / edit / preferences / apps
[22:05] <Washbottle> DIFH-iceroot: yes
[22:05] <Lava> started with booting problems, tried solving through sudo fsck and eversince i can't even boot anymore
[22:05] <Jimmey> I'm having trouble getting sound to work in 8.10. On all of the sound preference dialogues I have tried, I can get sound to play using my default sound, when I put the settings to "autodetect" and use the sound test facilities. But I can't get music from either totem or rhythmbox. What's going on?
[22:05] <techman224> gnutron, can you get a website that has a list of mirrors?
[22:05] <cicciux> hey, is there something like DUMeter for Linux? (KUbuntu 8.10)
[22:05] <n8tuser> alex_21-> after the settings like iface eth0 inet static
[22:05] <gnutron> techman224: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#About_sources.list_for_Ubuntu_Intrepid_Ibex
[22:05] <n8tuser> alex_21-> a line after that iface eth0 inet static
[22:05] <KingKha> yo, is there a way to make a single launcher start more than one application?
[22:06] <jerbear> gnutron: yes, that's where i am. the plugins are not available to choose
[22:06] <tysin> cicciux, its the system monitor applet
[22:06] <Ashfire908> Is there a way to reset any graphics settings currently on the computer?
[22:06] <simplexio> rvanguz: dunno about buttons but it on right click on top
[22:06] <ptchemist> jerbear -> click on the movie extension (or "Content Type") and change with firefox uses
[22:06] <barnebie> Is there a way to install ubuntu from an iso?
[22:06] <L1NUX_1NS1DE> do I have to have all the setting the same in the interfaces file for the server to be pingable
[22:06] <Ferrous> is there a gui to xmms2?
[22:06] <n8tuser> KingKha-> create a script and launched the script instead
[22:06] <cicciux> Ashfire908, sure, check nohup and write a small script.
[22:06] <kitche> Ferrous: not an official one but yes
[22:06] <Mal3ko> snuitje: i can still cd to top level dir /etc /boot
[22:06] <n8tuser> L1NUX_1NS1DE-> can you make a drawing of your network layout with ip addy on it? pics are worth a thousand words
[22:06] <Lava> ziesemer_, n8tuser  started with booting problems, tried solving through sudo fsck and eversince i can't even boot anymore
[22:06] <ptchemist> barnebie -> download Ubuntu version you want from www.ubuntu.com, it will be an ISO.  Burn to CD and boot from that CD
[22:06] <rvanguz> yes i know that, but i want this button on my windows
[22:06] <hide1713> hi everyone. Why my keyborad send Ctrl+@ to terminal when I press Ctrl+2
[22:06] <cicciux> tysin, looking into it. thanks.
[22:07] <techman224> gnutron, I want a list of mirrors, not how to edit sources.list
[22:07] <cufflinks> anyone with any suggestions/directions/what have you?
[22:07] <L1NUX_1NS1DE> a picture?
[22:07] <Flannel> !mirrors | techman224
[22:07] <n8tuser> Lava-> new install? just re-install again
[22:07] <gnutron> jerbear: thety may take a few secs to populate.
[22:07] <L1NUX_1NS1DE> with what?>
[22:07] <hide1713> hi everyone. Why my keyborad send Ctrl+@ to terminal when I press Ctrl+2?
[22:07] <zsquareplusc> Ferrous: you want xxm2 or are you just looking for a xmms replacement?
[22:07] <Ferrous> kitche, it was said that xmms2 was supposed to be similar to winamp... is this at all true? haha
[22:07] <n8tuser> L1NUX_1NS1DE-> drawing or pictures..
[22:07] <Ashfire908> cicciux: besides "figure it out yourself then do it yourself.
[22:07] <ghost3> I have an issue.. my power flickered and when my pc rebooted my screen res is only 800x600...i tried going to recovery mode in grub and tried to fix xserver "ubuntu 8.10" that didn't correct it..can anyone help?
[22:07] <jerbear> gnutron: no
[22:07] <Lava> n8tuser, but how do i do that without the install-cd?
[22:07] <n8tuser> L1NUX_1NS1DE-> use your knowhow to make this happen
[22:07] <kitche> Ferrous: no xmms2 is nothing like winamp xmms/audiacious is like it though
[22:07] <L1NUX_1NS1DE> hmm....
[22:07] <snuitje> Mal3ko: yes, what would you want to hide?
[22:07] <gnutron> techman224: that page has a list of repositories?!
[22:07] <L1NUX_1NS1DE> k
[22:07] <dr_willis>  Ferrous  xmms is similer to winamp... xmms2 is the next gen xmms.
[22:07] <n8tuser> Lava-> can you boot at all on the new install?
[22:07] <Tekno> bmpx ownz all
[22:07] <Ferrous> oh, i was looking into having any sort of asthetically pleasing player, i rather liked winamp for it's docking and things, but hadnt seen any such thing for ubuntu
[22:08] <hide1713> hi everyone. Why my keyborad send Ctrl+@ to terminal when I press Ctrl+2?  I can not send Ctrl+1 at all
[22:08] <barnebie> ptchemist: I meant without burning to a cd; I do not have an optical drive
[22:08] <Tekno> try bmpx
[22:08] <Lava> n8tuser, nope i can just boot feisty
[22:08] <faemir> can someone tell me why I cannot mount flash drives?
[22:08] <ptchemist> ferrous -> I had the same problem, ended up with Audacious that uses an XMMS skin....I did like XMMS
[22:08] <tysin> so kitche any suggestions?
[22:08] <zsquareplusc> Ferrous: audacious with refugee skin :-)
[22:08] <dr_willis> barnebie,  if you have a thumbdrive you can use unetbootin to make a bootable-install-live-thumbdrive
[22:08] <Ferrous> haha okay. thank you.
[22:08] <ptchemist> barnebie -> go to ubuntu.com and order a free CD with the installation goodies already on it
[22:08] <cufflinks> is there a more specific ubuntu channel for help with wireless cards maybe?
[22:09] <kitche> tysin: not really, besides the guide that I gave you though ubottu
[22:09] <n8tuser> Lava-> and you want what? 8.10?  if it was me, id not install 8.10 but 8.04 instead
[22:09] <jj_galvez> my screenlets flash on and then all disapear, anyone have an idea how to get them back?
[22:09] <ghost3> if some one on here can help me just say so and ill wait until your done.
[22:09] <Ferrous> thank you again
[22:09] <ptchemist> n8tuser -> why 8.04 not 8.10?
[22:09] <Mal3ko> snuitje: unless a user uses sudo or in sudo mode, make his ssh restricted to his own home folder only
[22:09] <Lava> n8tuser, if you think i should do that, i will, but how?
[22:09] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> what is it in 8.10 that you need?
[22:09] <Phoenix87> bye!
[22:09] <sektor1952> evening
[22:09] <alex_21> n*tuser Before the address and after the static?
[22:10] <n8tuser> Lava-> you have a running linux now? feisty yes?
[22:10] <barnebie> ptchemist,dr_willis: I am trying to install linux onto a very old laptop--the laptop cannot boot from cd or usb-I want to install from hd
[22:10] <Lava> n8tuser, yep, running feisty now
[22:10] <kitche> snuitje: look up rbash might do what you want
[22:10] <n8tuser> alex_21-> a line after that iface eth0 inet static  metric 0
[22:10] <Lava> n8tuser, it was still on my system
[22:10] <jerbear> can anyone see if they can play movies on http://apple.com/trailers, and if so, what they're using and how it's setup?
[22:10] <mamatat_> how can i tell which package a file comes from?
[22:10] <n8tuser> Lava-> what do you want done?
[22:10] <sektor1952> what's the best way to install ubuntu on a computer without a head and keyboard
[22:10] <sektor1952> ?
[22:10] <dr_willis> barnebie,  you may be out of luck then..  Unless it can do a net-boot. the !install factoid page may have some other ways to do it.
[22:10] <ptchemist> n8tuser -> nothing really, not thought you might have a reasoning behind 8.04 over the "new, shinier, faster, slimmer, less power hungry, ..." version.  Perhaps something I should now about since I'm currently debating 8.10 (with static IP problems mentioned) or 8.04 (perhaps with IP problems)
[22:10] <dr_willis> !install | barnebie
[22:11] <faemir> anyone? I cannot mount my flash drives
[22:11] <ghost3> I have an issue.. my power flickered and when my pc rebooted my screen res is only 800x600...i tried going to recovery mode in grub and tried to fix xserver "ubuntu 8.10" that didn't correct it..can anyone help?
[22:11] <Ashfire908> How do i reset the graphics settings?
[22:11] <Lava> n8tuser, i would like to have hardy heron again, but i can't boot it anymore, and i cannot reinstall it with the cd because it blocks everytime
[22:11] <gnutron> ghost3: it's tricky, try here for help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[22:11] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> hang around here, and you'll see how many are having issues upgrading to 8.10
[22:11] <Proteque> hello. is there any t
[22:11] <guntbert> Mal3ko: if I see you problem correctly: you only need to lock your users out of other homedirs, everywhere else there will be no harm done
[22:11] <Proteque> is there any tool to capture whats on screen if it is opengl-stuff?
[22:11] <MinorityStorm> why is busybox not included in ubuntu ?
[22:11] <n8tuser> Lava-> i cant recall the version, which one 7.10 ?
[22:11] <ghost3> gnutron thank you..be back with results
[22:12] <ptchemist> Proteque -> camera :)
[22:12] <kitche> MinorityStorm: it's included
[22:12] <simplexio> from 8.10 server version  console-kit-dae[15530]: segfault at b8 ip 00007f806818ce09 sp 000000004097f090 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.1800.2[7f8068160000+c3000
[22:12] <dr_willis> faemir,  i had a issue when  installing from a usb thumbdrive..  the /etc/fstab had an extra cdrom entry on it for /dev/sda, that goofed up me automounting a thumbdrive.. (if i plugged in 2, the second one did work) :)
[22:12] <gnutron> ghost3: ok
[22:12] <Lava> n8tuser, yep
[22:12] <Proteque> ptchemist: hehe weeeel :)
[22:12] <MinorityStorm> kitche: where?
[22:12] <simplexio> i need to find where that seg fault is coming
[22:12] <dr_willis> !ingo busybox
[22:12] <dr_willis> !info busybox
[22:12] <n8tuser> Lava-> what do you meant cd is blocked?
[22:12] <kitche> MinorityStorm: on the repos
[22:12] <jerbear> why doesn't the totem plugin for firefox even work? what exactly is the point of it?
[22:12] <ptchemist> thanks for the help n8tuser
[22:12] <n8tuser> ptchemist-> you're welcome
[22:12] <Sepe> Kan någon tala svenska ?
[22:13] <Lava> n8tuser, if i try 'start or install ubuntu' from the cd, it stops at 7%
[22:13] <Flannel> !fi | Sepe
[22:13] <erUSUL> !se
[22:13] <kitche> jerbear: alot of plugins dont work on Firefox3 they need updating to work from what I have seen
[22:13] <gnutron> jerbear: search mozplugger in synaptic, im on hardy and firefox uses it for lots of calls.
[22:13] <n8tuser> Lava-> are you same person as Al1 earlier?
[22:13] <jerbear> kitche: it never worked with ff2
[22:13] <kitche> jerbear: well it did here on ff2
[22:13] <Lava> n8tuser, nope
[22:13] <Mal3ko> guntbert: i guess so
[22:13] <n8tuser> Lava-> okay, do you have plenty of spare spaces on your hd?
[22:14] <guntbert> Lava: did you check the iso-image with md5sum before burning?
[22:14] <Lava> 7 gb n8tuser
[22:14] <alex_21> n8tuser is this right now? http://paste.ubuntu.com/78462/
[22:14] <Lava> guntbert, i used the cd months ago to install hardy and then it worked, so that part is fine
[22:15] <n8tuser> Lava-> seems not enuff for a new install of new os
[22:15] <faemir> dr_willis, nope i only have one entry
[22:15] <guntbert> Mal3ko: the command you got earlier will work for the homedirs of your new users from now on, but not for the existing ones
[22:15] <n8tuser> alex_21-> did you add that metric 0  ? i did not see onyour paste or have missed it
[22:15] <jj_galvez> when I reload compiz my screenlets appear for a second and then they're gone
[22:16] <n8tuser> Lava-> you have a separate /home partition?
[22:16] <jj_galvez> can anyone help me with my screenlets and compiz
[22:16] <Lava> n8tuser, yep
[22:16] <rstat1> ok..so it still failed to init
[22:16] <spideyman> I need usb drivers for a speedstream 5200 modem?
[22:16] <\Kira> webmin reports that I have 68 gigs of harddrive??? I really dont think thats right, how can I check from the command line?
[22:16] <Lava> n8tuser, so how do i format my pc in ubuntu, i hope i can reinstall hardy then?
[22:16] <rstat1> log says it couldnt find a compatible X driver
[22:16] <gnutron> \Kira: df -h
[22:16] <snuitje> guntbert: i told him to cd /home;sudo chmod o-rx *, that should do it
[22:16] <n8tuser> Lava-> okay, then we can use that 7gig for a new os, btw how about swap  you have that too?
[22:16] <gnutron> \Kira: df -h in a terminal
[22:16] <\Kira> gruntron: okay, thanks
[22:17] <Tuxutug> salut
[22:17] <n8tuser> Lava we will use debootstrap to install
[22:17] <Lava> n8tuser, no idea what you're talking about, but okay :)
[22:17] <guntbert> snuitje: sorry, I overlooked that part, just saw the dpkg-reconfigure, you are right of course
[22:17] <\Kira> gnutron: okay, I found the problem, webmin counts my external harddrive as local disk space :) Thanks
[22:17] <n8tuser> Lava-> type   which debootstrap
[22:17] <gnutron> \Kira: cool, welcome.
[22:18] <n8tuser> Lava-> what was the results ?
[22:18] <Lava> which debootstrap
[22:18] <Lava> where do i type that
[22:18] <alex_21> n8tuser, look here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78462/ I don't know what you mean by metric 0
[22:18] <n8tuser> Lava on a terminal
[22:18] <snuitje> guntbert, Mal3ko: it's not fool proof, users can decide can decide for themselves what permissions are set on their home dir, since they own the dir -_-
[22:19] <Lava> i typed debootstrap and it says it is not installed, install?
[22:19] <n8tuser> alex_21-> i advised you of adding that line  metric 0    to the interfaces file right underneath iface eth0 inet static
[22:19] <n8tuser> line
[22:19] <guntbert> snuitje: nothing ever is foolproof :)
[22:19] <Lava> n8tuser, i typed debootstrap and it says it is not installed, install?
[22:20] <n8tuser> Lava yes.  sudo apt-get install debootstrap
[22:20] <snuitje> guntbert: it's a race, whenever you make something fool proof the universe invents better fools
[22:20] <ardchoille> snuitje: hehe
[22:20] <Claw> ich versuche ne .sh aus dem /bin auszuführen. ich gebe also in die konsole einfach den pfad ein : (Pemission denied) - wenn ich das gleiche mit sudo versuche sagt es: command not found. was soll ich tun?
[22:20] <spideyman1134> i need usb drivers for a speedstream 5200 usb modem
[22:20] <erUSUL> !adsl
[22:20] <n8tuser> !de | Claw
[22:21] <Lava> n8tuser, ok installed debootstrap and now?
[22:21] <Claw> sry wrong window :P
[22:21] <alex_21> n8tuser, like this?
[22:21] <alex_21> n8tuser http://paste.ubuntu.com/78466/
[22:21] <n8tuser> Lava that 7 gig space, is that in a new partition ?
[22:22] <n8tuser> alex_21-> yes that looks good, you can restart your network, it may cut off your existing ssh connection, you can reconnect.. and test if the connectivity you need is okay
[22:22] <jerbear> ok, i just removed the totem plugin, and it's using the vlc plugin, but it doesn't work
[22:22] <L1NUX_1NS1DE> Ok that was a pain in the &ss but I got a graphic diagram of my setup
[22:23] <L1NUX_1NS1DE> where can I post it ?
[22:23] <Lava> n8tuser, in 'Computer' i have two files: 18,1 GB Volume & Filesystem.
[22:23] <gnutron> jerbear: is vlc installed?  dpkg -s vlc in a term.
[22:23] <jerbear> gnutron: yes
[22:23] <Dillizar> how do you put new fonts?
[22:24] <snuitje> Dillizar: copy them to ~/.fonts/
[22:24] <bobbob1016> Anyone able to get audio out of their nvidia hdmi?
[22:24] <bobbob1016> I've been trying and no luck.
[22:24] <gnutron> jerbear: you might reinstall firefox but no quarentee there.
[22:24] <Dillizar> snuitje, i cant find it
[22:24] <alex_21> N8tuser I still can't access my sight! Or my site either
[22:24] <snuitje> Dillizar: create it then
[22:25] <Dillizar> lol
[22:25] <gnutron> jerbear:  guarentee rather
[22:25] <fiXXXerMet> I have Ubuntu 8.10 on a CD.  I put it in my laptop (Ubuntu 8.04) and it isn't prompting me to upgrade - how can I upgrade to 8.10 from the CD?
[22:25] <n8tuser> alex_21-> from where? how are you trying to access this?
[22:25] <kitche> fiXXXerMet: you need the alternate cd to upgrade using a cd
[22:25] <alex_21> Safari from my mac to the server on 192.168.0.1/cgi-bin/user-manager.cgi
[22:25] <fiXXXerMet> kitche: They're both desktop versions though?
[22:25] <NEWK> Hey, I can't unzip a zip file that I zipped in windows

[22:27] <hide1713> hi everyone. Why my keyborad send Ctrl+@ to terminal when I press Ctrl+2?  I can not send Ctrl+F1 and Ctrl+F2 at all
[22:27] <faemir> how can i give normal users the rights to automount flash drives? (ntfs / vfat)?
[22:27] <n8tuser> Al1-> great, everything is working?

[22:27] <NEWK> can anyone help me?
[22:27] <Lava> n8tuser, thanks
[22:27] <Al1> n8tuser: the sound works great
[22:27] <fiXXXerMet> NEWK: what is the error?
[22:27] <n8tuser> alex_21-> am helping a few people, you need to prefix my nick or else am going to miss your responses
[22:27] <snuitje> hide1713: maybe shift is stuck
[22:27] <Al1> n8tuser: but i never got to change the partitions
[22:27] <Dillizar> snuitje, i made .fonts but still i can see it the font i have put in side
[22:27] <erUSUL> faemir: check in system>Admin>Users and groups in the last tab of each users properties
[22:28] <NEWK> End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not   a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the   latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on   the last disk(s) of this archive.
[22:28] <NEWK> That's my error
[22:28] <Al1> n8tuser: and now the package manager doesnt work
[22:28] <NEWK> I'm using the unzip command
[22:28] <n8tuser> Al1-> you did not select to create a partition yourself?
[22:28] <NEWK> and I zipped the file in Windows originally
[22:28] <Al1> n8tuser: and keeps asking for the cd
[22:28] <Al1> n8tuser: never got the option
[22:28] <L1NUX_1NS1DE> argh!! I'm so stuck !
[22:28] <n8tuser> Al1-> how did you install again?
[22:28] <erUSUL> faemir: not the last tab the second one
[22:28] <Markus> >	hot! :D http://nackte-weihnachtsfrau.net/?id=8795983
[22:28] <L1NUX_1NS1DE> I can't figure it out
[22:29] <n8tuser> Lava-> what do you meant in Computer? and how much again?
[22:29] <Al1> n8tuser: complete reinstall
[22:29] <Dillizar> btw font is a font i can put font from windows right
[22:29] <Lava> n8tuser, in Places - Computer
[22:29] <n8tuser> Al1-> from the dvd right? did it not asked you to select where you want the os to be installed?
[22:29] <Lava> n8tuser, there are two files there
[22:29] <Al1> n8tuser: no
[22:30] <ardchoille> Aoimsh0t:  this isn't the place for that
[22:30] <Lava> n8tuser, 18,1 GB Volume & Filesystem.
[22:30] <L1NUX_1NS1DE> anyway I was wondering how you can make a stand excutable  in linux
[22:30] <faemir> erUSUL, what is the actual name of that program?
[22:30] <n8tuser> Lava-> you have to use  command line.
[22:30] <Al1> n8tuser: i think that it just restored it to default factory setting
[22:30] <Lava> n8tuser, what do you mean
[22:30] <n8tuser> Al1-> huh?  i thought you said you re-installed?
[22:30] <erUSUL> faemir: gksudo users-admin
[22:30] <Al1> n8tuser: thats what it was called
[22:30] <Al1> n8tuser: i think
[22:31] <n8tuser> Lava->  you need to have a new partition to install another os
[22:31] <n8tuser> Al1-> dont know about that restore thing
 I am getting this error when I go to the site in Safari "500 Connect failed: connect: Connection timed out; Connection timed out
[22:31] <alex_21> "
[22:31] <Lava> n8tuser, cant i just format my pc and install hardy heron again?
[22:31] <Al1> n8tuser: anyways
[22:31] <guntbert> L1NUX_1NS1DE: you didn't find a place to upload the map of your network? I'd like to know one myself
[22:31] <snuitje> Dillizar: what's wrong?
[22:31] <n8tuser> Lava you can, but i thought you said you dont have the cd to install?
[22:31] <faemir> erUSUL, what package is that in? (unless kubuntu has something that can do the same thing)
[22:32] <Dillizar> snuitje, i open open office and cant find the font
[22:32] <n8tuser> Al1-> am confused, you did a re-install or not?
[22:32] <erUSUL> faemir: ooops thats for gnome i dunno if kubuntu has an equivalent
[22:32] <zsquareplusc> alex_21 haev you set up a proxy that isnt working?
[22:32] <faemir> erUSUL, yeh, what package includes it?
[22:32] <Melik> anyone here have CCSM installed and uses metacity as their default window decorator?
[22:32] <n8tuser> alex_21-> is the 192.168.0.1 serving at all?
[22:32] <erUSUL> faemir: dunno really let me check
[22:32] <Lava> n8tuser, i have, but with the hardy i messed up i cant seem to use it
[22:33] <n8tuser> Lava-> then how else are you going to install if you dont have the livecd for it? (other than the debootstrap i recommended)
[22:33] <pu154r> i only say Ubuntu + FCGI + lighttpd == Segmentation fault <=> btw. ubuntu 8.10 server any solution yet? thx
[22:33] <Al1> n8tuser: i did a full reinstall and wiped my harddrive and restored default factory settings, it fixed the original problem and now my soundcard works, however the package manager runs but is asking for me to insert the ubuntu dvd which i have and after that it doesnt recognize that i have and so nothing happens and it keeps asking for the dvd
[22:33] <erUSUL> faemir: but you can have the same effect adding users to plugdev;cdrom and floppy groups
[22:33] <Melik> anyone here have CCSM installed and uses metacity as their default window decorator? I really need your help.
 It looks like it will serve the index, but that may be cashed
[22:33] <erUSUL> faemir: you can use command line to do it or whatever means kubuntu provides
[22:33] <Flannel> pu154r: Have you filed a bug report?
[22:34] <erUSUL> faemir: gnome-system-tools
[22:34] <Al1> n8tuser: and the partitions remain the same
[22:34] <n8tuser> Al1-> ahh okay, now you need to modify your /etc/apt/sources.list  and remove the reference to dvd
[22:34] <Al1> n8tuser: ok
[22:34] <Lava> n8tuser, i have the cd, i installed hardy with it a few months ago. but now i have messed up some things in hardy, so i cant even boot it anymore. if i try the cd (that i succesfully used before) to install hardy, it stops at 7%
[22:34] <n8tuser> Al1-> well having same partitions, will not give you flexibility as i suggested
[22:34] <tysin> ok is kitche  still here?
[22:35] <n8tuser> Lava-> right, so your best bet is either get a new livecd or use debootstrap to do a re-install, which one would you want to do?
[22:35] <Xintruder> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[22:35] <Xintruder> I love u guys + ubuntu
[22:35] <Al1> n8tuser: alright so... where is the reference in that file, any idea?
[22:36] <faemir> erUSUL, it still says there is an error when mounting, if I expand it it's empty. before it linked to some instructions on http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged but they didn't work unless I did them wrong
[22:36] <Lava> n8tuser, man i dont know so much about all this, what do you suggest?
[22:36] <snuitje> Dillizar: what type are those fonts?
[22:36] <Al1> n8tuser: ## deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080423)]/ hardy main restricted?
 It is serving some pages, and others not
[22:36] <n8tuser> Al1-> are you going to re-install once more and create those suggested spare partitions and separate /home or you just going to continue?
[22:37] <n8tuser> Lava-> i suggest debootstrap..but you have to hang on if you want me to assist you, let me finish up with the other two
[22:37] <Al1> n8tuser: i dont think even if i reinstalled i could, my system seems to be pretty stable now so i dont think i should, but if you suggest it then alright... I just will need more help
[22:37] <Dillizar> snuitje, .ttf
[22:37] <Lava> n8tuser, cool, thanks ill let you finish up then :p
[22:37] <n8tuser> Al1-> it is up to you, you can learn more, or leave it as it is?
[22:37] <tysin> having problems following the guide for installing ati drivers, still at the same point and the commands don work for removing mesa
[22:38] <snuitje> Dillizar: did you close all instances of openoffice.org?
[22:38] <Dillizar> yes
[22:38] <vvd416> Hi, I have a question about the sound system. After recent upgrades both PulseAudio and alsa stopped playing movies. At the same time Rhythmbox is working fine. The only way I can get sound in videos is by selecting Multichannel playback for movies in the Sound Preferences. What can I do to fix the problem?
[22:38] <erUSUL> !ntfs | faemir
[22:38] <n8tuser> Lava and Al1 you seem to have similar problem, we can re-install with debootstrap, can you guys hang on for a few, til i get alex_21 issues resolved?
[22:38] <pu154r> Flannel: there are enough bug reports
[22:38] <Flannel> pu154r: About your problem?
[22:39] <n8tuser> alex_21-> you meant some services you can see but others not? are those others running? how did you verify?
[22:39] <Al1> n8tuser: sure im applying to colleges at the same time lol
[22:39] <n8tuser> al1 okay hang for a few
[22:39] <Lava> n8tuser, k
[22:39] <pu154r> Flannel: about i test it not only lighttpd + fcgi +php-cgi gives a segmentation fault is a general php-cgi + fcgi problem
[22:39] <Al1> bb in 5-10
[22:40] <Flannel> pu154r: The bug reports are probably your best place to look for a workaround
[22:40] <pu154r> Flannel: but php5-cgi -v or php-cg -v work and echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" PIPE php-cgi or php5-cgi works too :D
[22:40] <pu154r> Flannel: its yust after upgrade to 8.10 from 8.04.1
[22:41] <n8tuser> Lava on the mean time you can in a terminal  type   sudo fdisk -l  ;  mount ;  and post the results in pastebin
[22:41] <kalakouentin> what is more efficient for a intermediate programmer to learn how to use Net-beans or Eclipse?
[22:41] <gcbzero> hi at all. i want to change the cursor-theme which is used at the login screen. Where do i have to copy the files and what changes do i have to make?
[22:42] <Dillizar> snuitje,  the folder for the fonts should be with .fonts or not
[22:42] <n8tuser> kalakouentin-> what is your target programming language?
[22:42] <mesh1> to change compiz settings, do I need to install compizconfig-settings-manager?
[22:42] <faemir> erUSUL, none of that helped...
[22:42] <distefam> hello, I'm running ubuntu on my macbook pro, all my function keys are working properly except those that adjust screen brightness. After searching the forums it seems there is an issue with compiz, however I couldn't find a suitable answer. Can anyone help?
[22:42] <alex_21> Ok, now it is only one page that won't work
[22:43] <Lava> n8tuser, http://pastebin.com/m4254abb1
[22:43] <kalakouentin> C++ and Python
[22:43] <n8tuser> alex_21-> then you just have to make sure the webserver is doing its job..you are all set
[22:43] <johnny05> how would i make a tar of everything in a directory except a dorectory named files?
[22:43] <__BSD__> !ccsm | mesh1
[22:43] <qcjn> zsquareplusc: having problem with updating mpd, would you help..
[22:43] <snuitje> Dillizar: all the fonts should be in .fonts, i dont know if subdirs are supported
[22:43] <zsquareplusc> kalakouentin: there is pydev (python) and cdt (C++) for eclipse
[22:43] <alex_21> If you are running it on the MBP with VMware you will have to enable auto grabbing of the function keys by Mac OS X. Also, you could try FN + F? and see if that helps.
[22:44] <en1gm4> hi all
[22:44] <zsquareplusc> qcjn: hm.. what problem
[22:44] <n8tuser> Lava-> odd, what happened to hda3 and hda4 ? and what filesystem is that 5 ?
[22:44] <LjL> johnny05: "man tar" and look for the "--exclude" option
[22:44] <en1gm4> why can't I install  php5-gd on my distro???
[22:44] <kalakouentin> thank you.
[22:44] <Lava> n8tuser, no idea
[22:44] <distefam> alex_21: It's running natively, not with virtualization software, and as I mentioned, the other function keys work properly
[22:45] <mesh1> thanks __BSD__
[22:45] <en1gm4> why can't I install  php5-gd on my distro??? what could the reason be?
[22:45] <__BSD__> you're welcome
[22:45] <alex_21> Try with FN + F1/F2 and see if that gets the native job to work
[22:45] <johnny05> LjL - it says exclude by pattern. not sure what to use
[22:45] <distefam> alex_21: native job?
[22:45] <n8tuser> Lava-> where is the results of   mount   command?
[22:46] <qcjn> zsquareplusc: really, i just need to update to the new version..but i don't know how..is it sudo apt-get install 0.14  something or do i have to get it on a site and then untar it an something
[22:46] <LjL> johnny05: i'd try "files/*"
[22:46] <LjL> johnny05: otherwise, just "files"
[22:47] <gnutron> qcjn: you'll only get the highest version existing on the mirrors, you'll need to compile it from source i'm pretty sure.
[22:47] <Lava> n8tuser, http://pastebin.com/m4c94f6dd
[22:47] <zsquareplusc> qcjn: apt-get update is there is a new version in ubuntu repositories. if that's not the version you want you'd have to install it manually. either by finding a deb or by sources
[22:47] <n8tuser> alex_21-> how good is that "voice over"  have you compared that to other similar apps?
[22:47] <p1mps> hey anyone did get to work bcm4312 & aircrack?
[22:47] <gnutron> qcjn: what that wizard zsquareplusc said ;)
[22:47] <qcjn> zsquareplusc: ok, i ll look
[22:48] <alex_21> Ok, so before my server crashed I was on my site, and now the page I was on is the only one that won't work. What can I try to fix it. I try running it from the cli at perl user-manager.cgi and it hangs
[22:48] <qcjn> zsquareplusc: sudo apt-get mpd update ??
[22:48] <qcjn> zsquareplusc: i can't do that i've uninstalled it
[22:48] <Traveler95> hi
[22:49] <n8tuser> Lava-> you have plenty of room on hda6 and you have a secondary  swap on hda7 ?
[22:49] <gnutron> qcjn: just apt-get install mpd
 I used to use JASW, Tried Window-eyes for a while, NVDA in a VM, but Voiceover is the besst. The fact that it is free anc comes built in to Leopard really helps too
[22:49] <rstat1> so how do anyone know why X can't find a compatible NVIDIA driver?
[22:49] <Lava> n8tuser, man i have no idea what you are talking about
[22:49] <LjL> qcjn: version 0.14 isn't in any repository.
[22:50] <Traveler95> i kinda srewed up my resolution so i can harddly see the menus!
[22:50] <gnutron> qcjn: it will suggest many others packages, you might wanna use synaptic instead.
[22:50] <faemir> can someone tell me how I can give my user permission to automount drives?
[22:50] <en1gm4> why can't I install  php5-gd ?? what could the reason be? It say it is not installable
[22:50] <n8tuser> alex_21-> great, i have a client that has those needs, you have come across something that works on linux ?
[22:50] <qcjn> yes i've seen that it installed 0.13.1
[22:50] <alex_21> it is to walk up to a machine and not find a screen reader on it, or when there is, it isn't what your used to. Apple has really freed us of that burden on Mac OS X 10.4 and up
[22:50] <Traveler95> can some one plz guifde me?
[22:50] <n8tuser> Lava-> familiarize yourself with what showed up when you did  sudo fdisk -l    and see if you can correlate to what i just said
[22:50] <GodfatherofEire> Is there any way to switch from the standard app switcher to the ring switcher without compiz, or is that a necessity for that?
[22:51] <bartmon> Hey guys! Why hasn't OpenOffice.org 2.4 been upgraded to version 3 yet?

[22:51] <Flannel> bartmon: Because OOo3 won't ever officially be in Intrepid.  It was released too late in the development cycle (after being delayed a few times).  It'll be in -backports at some point, and the PPA should be back up sometime this week.
 What are your clients needs, and then I can reccommend the right thing
[22:52] <bartmon> Flannel, LjL: Thanks!
[22:52] <Lava> n8tuser, i really really dont know so much about ubuntu, so with the best will in the world, i cant follow. but isnt there a simple solution to just fix the damn thing?

[22:53] <qcjn> gnutron: it's not there in synaptic

[22:53] <n8tuser> as easiest
[22:53] <qcjn> gnutron: would you help me compile
[22:53] <Lava> n8tuser, ok, ill do that. what is the command to reinstall?
[22:53] <gnutron> qcjn: enable all your repositories and reload the list[s]
[22:53] <n8tuser> Lava you have to boot from the livecd or alternatecd to do a re-install
[22:54] <faemir> can someone explain how to change a read-only filesystem?
[22:54] <faemir> to non read only *
[22:54] <ikonia> faemir: depends on why it's read only
[22:54] <n8tuser> Lava-> and the third i told you is via debootstrap, but thats a bit of a hazzle
[22:54] <qcjn> gnutron: ok, but i think i enabled all the repositories
[22:54] <gnutron> qcjn: sure, look for a .deb on mdb's site or get the source code.
[22:54] <n8tuser> !install | lava
[22:54] <LjL> faemir: sudo mount -o remount,rw, but if it's read only there's probably a reason
[22:54] <erUSUL> faemir: sudo mount -o remount,rw /mount/point
[22:54] <en1gm4> why can't I install  php5-gd on my distro??? what could the reason be?
[22:54] <pebs> bartmon, http://tinyurl.com/6duf25 extract and do 'sudo dpkg -i *' on the DEBS folder an so on
[22:54] <Lava> n8tuser, ok ill check it out, thanks
[22:54] <en1gm4> why can't I install  php5-gd ?? what could the reason be? It say it is not installable
[22:54] <gnutron> qcjn: you'll be dealing with dependancies tho'
[22:54] <faemir> ikonia, well i'm trying to get my flashdrives to automount, but the walkthrough on the ntfs-3g website didn't work, the ubuntu help didn't help, and even root cannot have r/w =/
[22:55] <malcom2073> Question: is there an equivalant to "buildtools" or the Development Tools group of Fedoras?
[22:55] <gnutron> qcjn: i would stick to the repo's version if i were you, but you can try.
[22:55] <Flannel> en1gm4: Pastebin the following: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install php5-gd
[22:55] <LjL> malcom2073: i don't know what they are, but perhaps you're looking for...
 What do you mean voice generator. Also, I recommend Orca for Linux. Though not as good as Voiceover, it is OK. Don't waste your time with HQ voices, as they are broken now. Use eSpeak for best multy language suport. I run a Ubuntu blind users group on the forums. Also, don't give them KDE, gnome is much more accessible, and even then you have to be careful. Orca throuws a lot of Incaaessible errors when using Ksoftware and the

[22:56] <faemir> ikonia, scrap that, i can't.
[22:56] <ikonia> faemir: fat32 has no permissions structure

[22:57] <pebs> bartmon, ;)
[22:57] <n8tuser> Lava are you also dual booting?
[22:57] <malcom2073> Hm, nope that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a way to install commonly used build tools (libtool, autoconf, gcc, etc) as a group, or do I have to manually install each I need?
 There are plenty of packages like that. Google Linux Accessiblity, and there is a list of the access software listed for and by categy
[22:57] <LjL> johnny05, the "--exclude" must come *before* the -cvzf. the "f" in "cvzf" means "the next argument is a filename"
[22:57] <faemir> ikonia, fat16
[22:57] <alex_21> Category on one of the pages
[22:57] <faemir> ikonia, unless fdisk is lying
[22:57] <Lava> n8tuser, if you mean i have multiple versions of ubuntu on my pc, then yes
[22:57] <johnny05> ah, thanks
[22:57] <erUSUL> johnny05: the tar filename maust be after the f option
[22:58] <LjL> johnny05: so tar --exclude="files" -cvzf archive.tar.gz *
[22:58] <ikonia> faemir: fdisk doesn't tell you the file system
[22:58] <faemir> ikonia, , fdisk -l does
[22:58] <ikonia> faemir: fdisk just tells you the partition type
[22:58] <gnutron> malcom2073: you were answered, install build-essential gives you the toos you'll need.
[22:58] <ikonia> faemir: no it doesn't
[22:58] <faemir> ... oh.
[22:58] <erUSUL> johnny05: also i do not think you need the "" on the --exclude pattern
 I used to use JASW, Tried Window-eyes for a while, NVDA in a VM, but Voiceover is the besst. The fact that it is free anc comes built in to Leopard really helps too
[22:58] <LjL> malcom2073: yes, it's what you're looking for, because it's exactly what you have described.
[22:58] <n8tuser> alex_21-> biggest issue right now, is how to enter the info for the client, being spastic, cant zero in on an icon easily
[22:58] <qcjn> gnutron: #qcjn
[22:58] <faemir> ikonia, okay, well mount says that it is vfat
[22:58] <alex_21> Try with FN + F1/F2 and see if that gets the native job to work
[22:58] <ikonia> faemir: ok, thats good
[22:58] <pluma> Is it safe to put /lib on another partition and mount it via fstab? My root partition is too small and /lib is a whopping 500 MB.
[22:58] <LjL> !compile > malcom2073    (malcom2073, see the private message from ubottu)
[22:59] <malcom2073> Odd, I did an install and it said I already had it installed and up to date, but it's missing libtool and autoconf at the minimum. I'll go google to see what all build-essentials includes
[22:59] <rstat1> so how do anyone know why X can't find a compatible NVIDIA driver?
[22:59] <ikonia> faemir: so fat file systems have no permissions, so the norm is either a.) it's mounted read only b.) you need to mount it as a "user" owner c.) you need to chmod 777 it
[22:59] <malcom2073> and I'll check out that link
[22:59] <malcom2073> thanks
[22:59] <ikonia> rstat1: there isn't one ?
 Slow down the mouse movement
[22:59] <ikonia> rstat1: you used tools like envy ?
[22:59] <LjL> pluma: i wouldn't do it, there's the kernel modules in there. /usr/lib, on the other hand, could be moved
[22:59] <rstat1> Didn't use envy
[22:59] <faemir> ikonia, i cannot 777 it cause it's readonly though :S
[22:59] <zsquareplusc> faemir: did you check the output of dmesg for "read only" messages?
[22:59] <pluma> I've already put /usr, /var, /home and /tmp on seperate partitions, but / is still too big
[22:59] <rstat1> and Hardware drivers says there is one enabled and in use
[22:59] <ikonia> rstat1: ok, so you need to either a.) mount it rw b.) mount it as a user owner
[22:59] <Flannel> pluma: Why don't you just make / bigger?
[22:59] <ikonia> !fat
[22:59] <jacob__> hey
[23:00] <faemir> zsquareplusc, [ 3038.116794]     fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 0) O_o
[23:00] <n8tuser> alex_21-> yeah, im training him on that, thats the only pc they have at home, so switching back n forth between other users, kind of throws of the settings
[23:00] <rstat1> How would I do that Ikonia?
[23:00] <ikonia> rstat1: then your using the driver
[23:00] <alex_21> I recovered my server, but now I want to go onto my site. When I go onto it, only the page I was on it before it crashed doesn't work. I tried running it with "perl user-manager.cgi" and it just hangs in Terminal
[23:00] <LjL> pluma: also, 500MB for /lib sounds like a bit much. don't you happen to have a few kernels (and their modules) installed that you don't really need?
[23:00] <ikonia> rstat1: if it's enabled and in use, your using it
[23:00] <malcom2073> Ah that explains that, I'll have to  manually install alot of this stuff.
[23:00] <malcom2073> Thanks
[23:00] <pluma> Flannel: can't. I didn't know much but "more partitions = better" when I installed Linux a few years ago and hence my hda is shite.
[23:00] <rstat1> I am, but after X fails
[23:00] <LjL> malcom2073: err... NO
[23:00] <en1gm4> LjL: here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/m208cb835
[23:01] <jacob__> i need help i am in ubuntu and i want to enable my Nvidia card but if i do i use my main monitor after reboot. my main monitor is broken (its a laptop) what doi do so it uses external monitor?
[23:01] <pluma> LjL: I think I do. I get quite a selection on booting. How do I remove them then?
[23:01] <LjL> malcom2073: what i'm saying is that you should "sudo apt-get install build-essential" to AUTOMATICALLY get gcc, autotools, etc, etc, installed
[23:01] <n8tuser> alex_21-> anyhow, those tips are a good start..let see what i can do with them
[23:01] <faemir> ikonia, so how can i mount it as a user owner?
[23:01] <ikonia> !fat > faemir
[23:02] <rstat1> everytime I reboot X fails to start saying it can't initialize the NVIDIA graphics device, the log then says an NVIDIA compatible X driver doesn't exist
[23:02] <zsquareplusc> faemir: sounds like it's not well. it might be usefule to un checkdisk (on windlows) over it (if fsck.vfat)
[23:02] <LjL> pluma: "dpkg -l | grep linux" will list them. then you can remove them with just "sudo apt-get remove". just don't remove the latest one...
[23:02] <ikonia> rstat1: how can that be when your using one
[23:02] <rstat1> idk
[23:02] <UbuntuUser> i need help i am in ubuntu and i want to enable my Nvidia card but if i do i use my main monitor after reboot. my main monitor is broken (its a laptop) what doi do so it uses external monitor?
[23:02] <rstat1> I'm current running Ubuntu in low graphics mode.
[23:02] <rstat1> if you want to see the log I can show you
[23:03] <UbuntuUser> ok
[23:03] <Al1> n8tuser: are we ready to go?
[23:03] <ikonia> rstat1: what vard do you have ?
[23:03] <pluma> Flannel: My hda looks like this: 200 GiB (ntfs), 2 GiB (swap), 2 GiB (/), 1 GiB (unused), 20 GiB (/usr), 8 GiB (/home) -- sadly the last three are on an extended partition, so I can't use them.
[23:03] <rstat1> vard?
[23:03] <faemir> ikonia, how can i use the mount command as a normal user? ._.
[23:03] <rstat1> I have a GF6600
 There is a program that will slow down the mouse ou can runa s that user when you log in.
[23:03] <ikonia> faemir: read the url ubottu sent you
[23:03] <n8tuser> Al1-> yeah.. go ahead and start the dvd, and before you click on install let me know
[23:03] <ikonia> faemir: and it's not use the command as a normal user, it's mount the disk so it's owned by a normal user
[23:03] <Dillizar> what was the line for installing flash??
[23:04] <Flannel> pluma: Do you use all of your Swap? (Hibernation, whatever?)
[23:04] <Flannel> pluma: if not, you can make / 4G (swap + /) and then use your 1G unused as swap
[23:04] <Flannel> pluma: Or shrink your /usr by 1G to go back up to 2G swap
[23:04] <Dillizar> sudo apt-get flash-nonfree?
[23:04] <pluma> LjL: linux-image-N.N.NN-NN-386?
[23:04] <Flannel> pluma: (or make a swap file, etc), that's what I'd do in your situation I think.
[23:04] <n8tuser> alex_21-> yeah i have to teach them how to manage the resources, kids forget whose logged in before and they just reset the settings
 There is a program that will slow down the mouse you can run as that user when you log into their account
[23:05] <snuitje> Dillizar: sudo apt-get install <package>
[23:05] <LjL> en1gm4: from the update output, your repositories seem pretty messed up (you have -proposed enabled? that's generally NOT a good idea!). pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list too.
[23:05] <zsquareplusc> Dillizar: you miss the word "install" in between these two
[23:05] <Al1> n8tuser: gimme a sec wanna make sure im done with these college apps
[23:05] <faemir> ikonia, the script link is dead, and how is adding it to fstab going to help automounting? :S
[23:05] <snuitje> Dillizar: you can let firefox do it for you as well
[23:05] <en1gm4> LjL: here it is: http://rafb.net/p/EAWQQi50.html , yest they are messed up, can you give me yours? :P
[23:05] <ikonia> faemir: fstab is an automounted
[23:06] <LjL> pluma: examples - linux-image-2.6.24-21-generic  linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-21-generic  linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-21-generic  linux-headers-2.6.24-21-generic
[23:06] <UbuntuUser>  how can i enable my nvidia card and still use my external monitor? my laptop screen is broken
[23:06] <faemir> ikonia, but I want to be able to plug in random flash drives and it works - at the moment I have 3 and they all give the same error
[23:06] <ikonia> UbuntuUser: plug your monitor in at boot time and it should be able to auto detect it
[23:06] <Dillizar> snuitje, but its not flash-nonfree its something else and i dont remember
[23:06] <alex_21> I figured out why my thing won't run that perl file
[23:06] <LjL> en1gm4: even if i give you mine, that won't remove any already installed "bad" packages you have... i'll change that list so it at least works, anyway
[23:06] <ikonia> faemir: well, for automounting thats not great because your using a file system with no permissions,
[23:06] <rstat1> X log right after it failed http://paste.ubuntu.com/78481/

 I have a problem. Now that I have an interface running, I can't access Zimbra
[23:07] <UbuntuUser> ikonia i tried that everytime i did that it went to main monitor and i had to reinstall ubuntu to get to this point
[23:07] <Al1> n8tuser: alright lets go
[23:07] <faemir> ikonia, well it works for any others devices I've plugged in =/
[23:07] <snuitje> Dillizar: what do you want
[23:07] <ikonia> faemir: other fat file system devices ?
[23:07] <Dillizar> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree snuitje
[23:07] <n8tuser> alex_21-> what is zimbra? thats running on ubuntu server?
[23:07] <faemir> ikonia, well, one was ntfs and the other was an ipod whatever format they are
[23:08] <n8tuser> Al1->  go ahead and start the dvd, and before you click on install let me know
[23:08] <ikonia> faemir: ok, so not fat
[23:08] <snuitje> Dillizar: and whats the problem
[23:08] <ikonia> faemir: hence the problem
[23:08] <ikonia> UbuntuUser: how are you installing ubuntu if you can't use the laptop monitor ?
[23:08] <Dillizar> snuitje,flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. but i cant still open a flash on mozilla
[23:08] <pluma> Flannel: Can I do that while logged in or should I do it from a boot CD?
[23:09] <faemir> ikonia, so what is the solution manual mounting?
[23:09] <snuitje> Dillizar: try about:plugins in moz and see if shockwave flash is listed
[23:09] <ikonia> faemir: there should be a config file for hal to say all fat devices mount as user, but I don't know that config off the top of my head
[23:09] <snuitje> !flash | Dillizar
[23:09] <UbuntuUser> ok this is what happeneds. i enable then asks to reboot i reboot and then it loads up to the loading bar and then it says no signal. so i pop cd in reboot and my computer detects and well i get to reinstall
[23:09] <faemir> ikonia, feel free to have a look :P
[23:10] <ikonia> UbuntuUser: you enable what ?
[23:10] <distefam> I'm dual booting mac osx and ubuntu on my macbook pro.

Right now it is formatted as HFS+ which doesn't allow writing from linux, what filesystem could I format it as?
[23:10] <ikonia> UbuntuUser: how are you doing this with no monitor ?
[23:10] <UbuntuUser> my nvidia driver
[23:10] <bartmon> pebs: Have you installed OOo3 this way? What did you do about the lack of desktop integration (shortcuts)?
[23:10] <ikonia> UbuntuUser: you didn't say that, you said your laptop monitor was broke and couldn't use it
[23:10] <UbuntuUser> no it detects it at first and then says no signal
[23:11] <LjL> en1gm4: try this (i've added some commentary on the repositories i've removed) http://paste.ubuntu.com/78482/

[23:17] <Al1> n8tuser: im in a catch 22, it seems the livecd is for PC...
[23:17] <distefam> is it possible to have ubuntu autodetect a second monitor when it is plugged into a DVI port?

[23:17] <tpw_rules> n8tuser: yeah, but thanks for your help anyway
[23:17] <n8tuser> Al1-> what do you have? a non intel/amd  machine?
[23:17] <J172> alex_21: make sure your MX records are set up crrectly
[23:18] <n8tuser> tpw_rules-> what did it took to get it working?
[23:18] <erUSUL> jb23fan: what kind of array? fakeraid ?
[23:18] <Al1> n8tuser: no i have intel
[23:18] <jb23fan> using onboard intel raid chip, not sure if this is considered "fake"
[23:18] <tpw_rules> n8tuser: hardy, ndiswrapper and the appropriate drivers
[23:18] <n8tuser> Al1-> pc are intel..so what do you meant livecd is for pc?
[23:19] <Al1> n8tuser: i thought pc meant like window
[23:19] <Al1> s
[23:19] <GodfatherofEire> Anybody know how to get openoffice to recognize a formula that it otherwise wouldnt?

[23:19] <zsquareplusc> my problem with running 2 X servers is, that the primary screen is on the wrong plug (analog instead of DVI) whre can i change that
[23:19] <jb23fan> the installer sees my raid array disks as seperate
[23:19] <n8tuser> Al1-> nope
[23:19] <erUSUL> jb23fan: it is... if you only use linux on the machine it is better to use the linux software raid
[23:20] <LjL> Al1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PC

[23:38] <VistaUser> lol
[23:38] <LjL> Fezzler: uh... of course
[23:38] <Gracenotes> speaking of reinstalling... is there an advised way to transfer one's home directory on Ubuntu to another computer, in order to transfer it back again after a complete reinstall?
[23:38] <Flannel> !backup | VistaUser
[23:38] <Gracenotes> ~ being in the order of 25 GB in this case
[23:38] <mib_nz3z45> Anyone here ever had any success connecting to AT&T Mobile Broadband in Ubuntu.  Thinkpad can see the Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Minicard just refuses to connect.
[23:38] <Surlent777> um, is there anyone who is willing to try and help me get a wireless card working?
[23:38] <heret1c> whta1: check synaptic and see if your lappy is supported.
[23:39] <VistaUser> how do i use terminal to get compiz-fusion?
[23:39] <Dillizar> zsquareplusc, there are not there !!
[23:39] <Fezzler> Is Python program better for noob than Java?
[23:39] <erUSUL> Gracenotes: rsync with a GB network connection XD
[23:39] <LjL> Gracenotes: use tar
[23:39] <zsquareplusc> Fezzler: yes, i'd say so
[23:39] <scoobymad555_> zsquareplusc: have one dvb-s tunercard and one dvb-t usb stick - the dvb-s has no feed into it at the moment. trying to capture stream from dvb-t usb stick
[23:39] <LjL> !offtopic | Fezzler
[23:39] <ardchoille> !compiz | VistaUser
[23:39] <russ_> how do you shut down an instance of a running program that is minimized and will not maximize?
[23:39] <Konsole> VistaUser, if you go to their main website theirs a wiki that gives you all of that information
[23:39] <archangelpetro> ljL do you know what switch will do that?
[23:39] <Fezzler> I've programmed in BASIC, Pascal and Marcromedia Lingo script.  Wanting to get back into it.
[23:39] <zsquareplusc> Dillizar: hm.. so the install went wrong somehow
[23:39] <Konsole> VistaUser, just select the distrobution
[23:39] <VistaUser> ok
[23:39] <Flannel> VistaUser: What version of Ubuntu do you have?
[23:40] <Gracenotes> erUSUL: ah, thanks. unfortunately I don't have a network connection :)
[23:40] <VistaUser> 8.10
[23:40] <mcrawfor> i have an smbfs mount in fstab - it doesn't mount at boot but mount -a works
[23:40] <mcrawfor> any clues?
[23:40] <Flannel> VistaUser: you already have compiz fusion then
[23:40] <Gracenotes> I don't even have a working GUI
[23:40] <Konsole> VistaUser, ah hardy u alrdy have it
[23:40] <erUSUL> Gracenotes: so how do you plan to move the 25 GiB ??
[23:40] <Fezzler> LjL Well, a little off topic but I wasn't sure if Ubuntu was a good op to program in
[23:40] <Surlent777> 8.10 is Intrepid, isn't it?
[23:40] <VistaUser> but were is the settings to toggle with the effects?
[23:40] <Flannel> Surlent777: yes
[23:40] <zsquareplusc> scoobymad555_: me-tv is a nice app for DVB-T not sure if it works for -S too. if you're stick is recognised should be visible by the messages in "dmesg" output
[23:40] <Flannel> !ccsm | VistaUser
[23:40] <alex_21> I don't see the network manager. What menu is it in?
[23:41] <VistaUser> ok ty
[23:41] <Gracenotes> erUSUL: eh... I've made a tarball of my home directory, split it up into 2 GB pieces, and loaded each piece onto my flash drive, one at a time
[23:41] <Dillizar> zsquareplusc, maybeeee you are right cuz when i sudo it the first time there were some errors i will reinstall it
[23:41] <Gracenotes> I'm not sure it's the best way
[23:41] <LjL> archangelpetro: yes, -fno-stack-protector
[23:41] <Gracenotes> but it seems to be the only one way I can think of :/
[23:41] <erUSUL> Gracenotes: ok; then it is already done :)
[23:41] <Gracenotes> well, it's still going on
[23:41] <archangelpetro> thanks ljL
[23:41] <Surlent777> so, is there anyone who is willing to try and help me get a wireless card working?
[23:41] <Gracenotes> for the past 4 hours
[23:41] <usser> !info wbar
[23:42] <Gracenotes> in case this happens in the future, I'm hoping to be better prepared
[23:42] <usser> somebody should package wbar that for ubuntu
[23:42] <ardchoille> Is there a method of voting so the users can help decide which apps go into the release/repos?
[23:42] <dcs> how can i find which pkg does a binary belong to?
[23:42] <Flannel> ardchoille: File needs packaging bugs.  Or package them yourself (see #ubuntu-motu)
[23:43] <alex_21> I will help with the wireless if I can. I'm having a provlem with mine though
[23:43] <Flannel> dcs: dpkg -S /path/to/file
[23:43] <scoobymad555_> zsquareplusc: dmesg is showing the stick is recognised and it works with me-tv, kaffeine, mplayer etc. problem is that i want to multicast the stream to lan but kaffeine and me-tv suck at it lol! trying to use ffmpeg instead but can't find the appropriate place to point it
[23:43] <ardchoille> Flannel: Thank you
[23:43] <erUSUL> dcs: dpkg -S /path/to/file
[23:43] <erUSUL> dcs: dpkg -S $(which binary)
[23:43] <perlsyntax> Has anyone got python 2,6 wroking on unbuntu?
[23:44] <dcs> thanks. and what command to see what binaries a pkg contains?
[23:44] <zsquareplusc> scoobymad555_: dvbstream. i also used vlc to steam, esp. if you wan to scale before streaming
[23:44] <erUSUL> dcs: dpkg -L | grep bin
[23:44] <Flannel> dcs: dpkg -L package
[23:44] <barnebie> !install
[23:44] <erUSUL> dcs: dpkg -L package | grep bin
[23:44] <whta1> i just upgraded my laptop to intrepid and the volume control on the keyboard stopped working. trying to set them as keyboard shortcuts doesn't do anything.
[23:44] <Dillizar> zsquareplusc, if i sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin- mozilla-plugin-vlc will it work :P
[23:45] <aelis> hello
[23:45] <jimbofoxman> I trying to install a printer on 8.10 Intrepid..............cups isn't up, not sure which drivers I need
[23:45] <zsquareplusc> Dillizar: i dont think that will play flash videos. you need the flash plugin for that
[23:45] <scoobymad555_> zsquareplusc: vlc wont pick up the device :(  it doesn't appear to tie to a v4l2 dev output? :S haven't tried dvbstream yet.
[23:45] <SanoSan> Anyone tell me an apt-get for a decent Audio/Video player?  I don't like this Movie Player one Ubuntu came with.
[23:45] <dcs> thansk
[23:46] <zsquareplusc> SanoSan: vlc, xine
[23:46] <Surlent7> ok, disconnections suck. Anyway, could anyone help me with getting a wireless card working properly? It's a Linksys wmp54g with a rt2561 chipset...
[23:46] <erUSUL> !player | SanoSan
[23:46] <russ_> how do I force an app to quit?
[23:46] <SanoSan> Wow, thank you ^_^
[23:46] <erUSUL> russ_: xkill and then click on it
[23:46] <Surlent7> russ_: killall appname
[23:46] <Surlent7> or that
[23:47] <SanoSan> erUSUL, any recommendations?
[23:47] <captain_>  am having issues with resolution now that I got a 42" lcd and nvidia video card, I am missing bout 5% of my screen on all sides when in 1920x1080
[23:47] <jimbofoxman> I trying to install a printer on 8.10 Intrepid..............cups isn't up, not sure which drivers I need...........what am I doing wrong..........other than being a noob
[23:47] <Konsole> SanoSan: i prefer audacious ;)
[23:47] <EJ> !Surlent7 | ndiswrapper
[23:47] <russ_> srulent7: thanks
[23:47] <Surlent7> heh
[23:47] <Surlent7> EJ: Tried that
[23:47] <EJ> !ndiswrapper | Surlent7
[23:47] <perlsyntax> hello
[23:47] <erUSUL> SanoSan: i'm using banshee/ryhthmbox for music and mainly mplayer for video vlc is nice too
[23:48] <EJ> Surlent7: what happened ?
[23:48] <Surlent7> I prefer Totem and Xine. Xine especially for DVD's
[23:49] <Surlent7> EJ: I installed the proper Windows driver, and that caused the little bar thing to appear telling you it's on. I then activated the gnome panel applet for networks, and switched from eth to wlan0. It says it's connected to the router, but is unable to get online.
[23:49] <jimbofoxman> anyone have a canon ip4500 printer?
[23:49] <rodserling> dude naughty
[23:49] <EJ> Surlent7: have you set dns server in /etc/resolv.conf
[23:50] <Surlent7> And the gtk ndiswrapper says that the hardware is present, and lspci shows it clearly
[23:50] <ryushe> hi, where can I find any screensaver configuration tool in Gnome? I know KDE has one, but I can't find one for Gnome :/
[23:50] <mib_nz3z45> has anyone had any luck getting ubuntu connected to 3G
[23:50] <Tekno> Surlent777: does anything happen if you type "sudo dhclient"
[23:50] <erUSUL> ryushe: system>Preferences>screensaver
[23:50] <Tekno> mib_nz3z45: me
[23:50] <Surlent7> ej: I set the appropriate things in the new network manager, though I notice that it likes to take the WPA passphrase and replace it with some huge crazy thing
[23:50] <ryushe> erUSUL: that's only choosing, not configuring
[23:50] <Surlent7> Tekno one sec
[23:51] <EJ> Surlent7: can you pull up a web page by ip address instead of domain name
[23:51] <mib_nz3z45> could you tell me how you did it or point me in the right direction
[23:51] <captain_> anyone have an idea why I cant see about 5% of my screen? Like the title bars and I can only see the top of AWN
[23:51] <Surlent7> Tekno a whole buncha readout
[23:51] <Tekno> mib_nz3z45: I did use wvdial
[23:51] <Surlent7> EJ: How would I do that?
[23:51] <nbeebo> how can i change gamma on my screen_
[23:51] <Surlent7> EJ: I've tried pinging google and such to no avail as well
[23:51] <EJ> Surlent7: 64.233.169.147 <------- www.google.com ip address
[23:52] <Tekno> mib_nz3z45: difficult part was to get correct settings to /etc/wvdial.conf but once done, works great
[23:52] <dr_willis> captain lcd or crt Monitor? DVI or vga connection?
[23:52] <david__> hello
[23:52] <nbeebo> how do i change my screens brightness?
[23:52] <dr_willis> captain_,  lcd or crt Monitor? DVI or vga connection?
[23:52] <Tekno> mib_nz3z45: I do connecting by simply "wvdial &" (from desktop icon)
[23:52] <Surlent7> EJ: It says Operation Not Permitted.
[23:52] <captain_> dr_willis LCD with DVI to HDMI
[23:53] <EJ> Surlent7: just copy the ip address and paste it in the address bar of firefox
[23:53] <dr_willis> captain_,  that is odd..  try the lcd monitor adjustments items/osd if it has one..
[23:53] <Surlent7> EJ: ok....
[23:53] <david__> Why does my port forwarding not work, this is iptables commands I run to set it up :
[23:53] <david__> echo "Flushing Stuff"
[23:53] <david__> iptables --flush
[23:53] <david__> iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
[23:53] <david__> iptables -F INPUT
[23:53] <FloodBot3> david__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:53] <david__> iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
[23:53] <Dillizar> zsquareplusc, are you here

[23:54] <mib_nz3z45> Tekno Trying to get a thinkpad with built in wlan tring to connect to AT&T.  Do you think I can accomplish this with wvdial
[23:54] <RollTide> is amarok the best sofware to use with ipod?

[23:55] <Dillizar> RollTide, no

[23:55] <EJ> Surlent7: open a terminal and type in sudo pico /etc/resolv.conf .... is there anything there ?
[23:55] <Tekno> mib_nz3z45: wlan is not 3G
[23:55] <alex_21> Banshee is the best sotware for the IPod
[23:55] <zsquareplusc> Dillizar: adobe changed the file and the package was not updated. you have to install it manually or use a newer ubuntu
[23:55] <Dillizar> RollTide,  there is one called basheedo or smt like that
[23:55] <RollTide> what do you use?
[23:55] <nbeebo> how do u change gamma ubuntu?
[23:55] <Surlent7> EJ: I have nano, but no, there is nothing
[23:56] <Gracenotes> RollTide: I've found gtkpod the easiest to work with for getting files on the iPod, and getting them off (if you don't have an iPhone/iPod touch)
[23:56] <Dillizar> RollTide, i use smt that looks liek winamp
[23:56] <nbeebo> and they say theres a good supporting community :/
[23:56] <EJ> Surlent7: ok you will needs to set nameservers here
[23:56] <Gracenotes> for playing the contents of your iPod, it's not convenient really
[23:56] <Tekno> mib_nz3z45: but if you mean 3G like gprs...hsdpa etc, then wvdial is good way to go
[23:56] <Surlent7> EJ: Not sure I know exactly what those are
[23:56] <captain_> dr_willis hmm, no such luck...
[23:56] <Gracenotes> playback is the secondary feature really
[23:56] <EJ> Surlent7 : 1 sec i am pulling mine up
[23:57] <nbeebo> how do u change the gamma? i cant find anything on google
[23:57] <Dillizar> zsquareplusc, there are no new ubuntu :P
[23:57] <dr_willis> captain_,  could try to change the refresh rate.. but with lcd's and digital connections ive never had to twiddle with them much.. VGA - i have had to tinker with that.
[23:57] <mib_nz3z45> Tekno I am trying to connect to my AT&T Mobile Broadband account.  I Connect to 3G all the time in windows.  I just can't seem to get it going in ubuntu

[23:57] <Surlent7> EJ: Go ahead
[23:57] <Dillizar> zsquareplusc, they dont work
[23:58] <Tekno> mib_nz3z45: apt-get install wvdial (if you haven't it)
[23:58] <Sepe> what do you think about Scpektra linux ?
[23:58] <zsquareplusc> nbeebo: do you have an nvidia card. it has a settings application that supports gamma
[23:58] <Tekno> mib_nz3z45: then fiddle with /etc/wvdial.conf (you may get correct answers from googleing settings of at&t)
[23:58] <nbeebo> zsquareplusc hmm never thought about it, i got ati screen manager software kinda, ill check thanks
[23:58] <mib_nz3z45> Tekno Thanks I will do that when I get near my WAP
