[00:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !packaging
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> greghere: you could try fluxbox so you have a gui and try switching to gnome to test what you have done
[00:02] <greghere> ActionParsnip, I have nearly two A4 pages of commands from this and other forums, websites and so called geeks and nothing has worked.

[00:02] <RomanaMentalis> thank you jack

[00:03] <Farakh> Hello everybody
[00:03] <Dreamer3> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[00:03] <Dreamer3> Jack_Sparrow: that's not super helpful
[00:03] <Farakh> I am having problems with installation, is this the right place to ask for help
[00:03] <Dreamer3> Jack_Sparrow: i'm not sure how to fetch and extract the CURRENT ruby package
[00:04] <Dreamer3> which is what i'd want to start with for changes
[00:04] <greghere> Jack_Sparrow, What attitude, I appreciate everything you and others have done, there is no attitude?
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> dougl: the cube is ctrl + alt + left mouse drag
[00:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Dreamer3 you asked about packing
[00:04] <benzss> what's the easy way of giving myself permissions to a drive (rather than just root)
[00:04] <VerdugoJones> Hello everyone
[00:04] <RomanaMentalis> dreamer3 - I just installed ruby and I had to run an apt-get update for it to work right
[00:04] <VerdugoJones> I was looking for some help with my ubuntu graphics
[00:05] <Dreamer3> RomanaMentalis: 8.04 only has patch level 111, i need the latest
[00:05] <Jack_Sparrow> greghere "and so called geeks etc are rude and unappreciated.. please stop
[00:05] <dougl> ActionParsnip, yes I am holding ctrl+alt+leftmouse while draging on the desktop and nothing seems to happen
[00:05] <greghere> ActionParsnip, If I boot into the Failsafe Gnome desktop can i maybe fix it from there?
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> greghere: sure
[00:05] <VerdugoJones> I know my problem has to do with x.org 7.4 and catalyst
[00:05] <Jack_Sparrow> benzss yes you can set permissions for a partition
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> dougl: how about ctrl + alt + left xcursor?
[00:06] <dnyy> How can I format my usb stick in FAT32 through linux?
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> dougl: i'd ask in #compiz
[00:06] <erisco> how do I delete an icon theme? gnome won't let me saying it cannot be deleted without any further information
[00:06] <erisco> I don't know how to manually delete it either

[00:06] <benzss> Jack_Sparrow: well i've forgotten the command :<
[00:06] <dougl> ActionParsnip, thanks - will head there now
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> dnyy: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/<partition nane>
[00:06] <Jack_Sparrow> benzss First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and type cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition  (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify t
[00:06] <Jack_Sparrow> he permissions are set
[00:06] <VerdugoJones> Can anyone help me figure this out?
[00:06] <rlt> dnyy: mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/<partition>
[00:07] <benzss> Jack_Sparrow: awesome, let me go do that :]
[00:07] <Jack_Sparrow> :)

[00:08] <gilster> has anyone ever ripped a cd to eAAC+ ??
[00:08] <jrib> ferfactor: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> dnyy: it will tell you the partition name
[00:08] <dnyy> ActionParsnip: Alright, hold on
[00:08] <ferfactor> jrib, ok...
[00:09] <conal> jrib: thanks.  will the change affect only the one file?
[00:09] <greghere> ActionParsnip, Ok, in failsafe gnome desktop :)
[00:09] <mib_or4wst> hi is there a good client for ym that allows use of webcam? thanks
[00:09] <mib_or4wst> hi is there a good client for ym that allows use of webcam? thanks
[00:09] <ferfactor> well i just installed the widget factory but i don't find the icon to open or run the program
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> mib_or4wst: gyache
[00:09] <IndyGunFreak> mib_or4wst: if you can get your webcam to work under linux, i believe gyachi works for Yahoo and webcam
[00:10] <Izinucs> 8.04 use to open F-Spot when I connected a camera or mounted a camera SD card in an adaptor. Now a window opens that says "You have just inserted a medium w/Digital photos. choose application" .. then it lists "no applications found". How do I fix this?
[00:10] <dnyy> ActionParsnip: It's telling me it's unable to open /dev/snb
[00:10] <Izinucs> 8.10 now..
[00:10] <Dreamer3> Jack_Sparrow: do you know which command i can use to tell ubuntu to download the dsc file used to build a specific package?
[00:10] <Dreamer3> there has to be helpers for this stuff
[00:10] <mib_or4wst> any good link you could recomment for tutorial on how to install gyache?
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> dnyy: then you need to partition it, you can't open a disk, only partitions
[00:10] <IndyGunFreak> mib_or4wst: its in the repos.. sudo apt-get install gyachi
[00:11] <dnyy> ActionParsnip: So I have to create a partition on it before I can format it?
[00:11] <Dein> hi, i have a question about firefox under ubuntu. i know there is a separate firefox channel, but nobody responds there. the problem is with my bookmark toolbar. i have a few folders there and those menus are slooooow. all other menus in firefox open instantly and work well, but not those on the bookmark toolbar. when i go over the option with my mouse, it lags and reacts very poorly. any ideas?
[00:11] <conal> seems to have change the setting for all .svg files.  :)
[00:11] <mib_or4wst> it's in the repos??? cool! thanks :)
[00:11] <mib_or4wst> it's in the repos??? cool! thanks :)
[00:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Dreamer3 This is support for ubuntu, and your not here for the type of support offered and you did not like the link on building debs..
[00:11] <IndyGunFreak> !info gyachi | mib_or4wst
[00:11] <IndyGunFreak> !info gyache
[00:11] <benzss> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, seemed to work!
[00:11] <Mal3ko> how to remove input methods? what package i need to uninstall?
[00:11] <ruby> Hi guys..
[00:11] <Dreamer3> Jack_Sparrow: i'm looking at those links
[00:11] <Jack_Sparrow> benzss cool
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> dnyy: yes, you can ONLY format partitions. Windows says "C drive" which is WRONG. Its a drive with a single partition
[00:11] <IndyGunFreak> hmm, mib_or4wst search for it in the repos, i know its there
[00:11] <mib_or4wst> ok
[00:11] <Dreamer3> the useful part says "start by downloading the dsc file"
[00:11] <Mal3ko> how to remove input methods? what package i need to uninstall?
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> dnyy: you need to partition it, then format the partition
[00:11] <Dreamer3> but apt-cache doesn't even tell me what that is or where to find it
[00:12] <ferfactor> i installed the widget factory but i can't find to run the program... any idea about that?
[00:12] <dnyy> ActionParsnip: ah, alright. i'm trying to install ubuntu 8.10 from a USB stick I just bought. CD drives open. So thank ya. :)
[00:12] <Jack_Sparrow> dreamer, please try #ubuntu-offtopic

[00:12] <mib_or4wst> dang it isn't included in the hardy repos
[00:12] <mib_or4wst> dang it isn't included in the hardy repos
[00:12] <IndyGunFreak> mib_or4wst: hold on
[00:12] <dnyy> ActionParsnip: GParted is telling me there's already a partition on it, and the filesystem is fat32. ;o
[00:12] <Dreamer3> ah maybe --print-urls
[00:13] <Jack_Sparrow> mib_or4wst please stop repeating yourself
[00:13] <mib_or4wst> ok
[00:13] <Dein> any ideas why would the bookmarks toolbar in firefox be slow and laggy if all other menus work well?
[00:13] <Jack_Sparrow> mib_or4wst look in backports
[00:14] <smkajt> hi, i have 2 partitions in my hd, and im not able to access the other through ubuntu, could anyone help me on this matter ?
[00:14] <CopyWriter> hello all
[00:14] <IndyGunFreak> mib_or4wst: this link has the .deb packages for gutsy, they might work in hardy, otherwise you'll need to compile from source...  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=158490&package_id=177556&release_id=551575
[00:14] <gnutron> Dein: sometimes certain addons in firefox make it unstable, try disabling certain addons and restart firefox.
[00:15] <Dein> gnutron: it is a fresh install :S
[00:15] <mib_or4wst> ok thanks
[00:15] <mib_or4wst> ok thanks
[00:15] <Jack_Sparrow> smkajt what format are the partitions on that drive
[00:15] <Dein> gnutron: i actually reinstaleld it and deleted my entire profile to try to fix that. but it didn't help
[00:15] <smkajt> Jack_Sparrow: the one i want to access is a nfts partition format

[00:22] <Jack_Sparrow> geek64 edit fstab uuid? or on the actual partition
[00:23] <rlt> geek64: do you mean the UID of your user account, or the UUID of a filesystem?
[00:23] <Myrtti> Jack_Sparrow: he might be actually meaning real UID's
[00:23] <geek64> i mean the user id

[00:38] <fdasse> skystar hd ?
[00:38] <Theeb_> is there an irc channel for compiz?
[00:38] <Izinucs> Firefox has suddenly forgotten all my bookmarks and history and won't open my home page using the home button.  I still have ~/.mozilla listed.. It hasen't been deleted.. How do I fix this?
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Theeb_ yes.. #compiz
[00:38] <Marfi> is there any way to collect the data from a .log file and convert it to a .sql for a mysql database?
[00:39]  * Marfi hands Jack_Sparrow some rum
[00:39] <jrgp> Izinucs, make sure your ~/.mozilla folder has a firefox folder within
[00:39] <smkajt> jrgp: chmod +x did not return any thing
[00:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Marfi there is a server , apache and mysql channels
[00:39] <test34> Marfi, you could use Perl to parse it and enter it in the DB
[00:39] <Izinucs> jrgp: yep it's there.
[00:40] <Giraffe> is there a GUI for octave that isn't qtoctave?
[00:40] <Marfi> test34, any good sites to check for scripts?
[00:40] <gnutron> smkajt: can you open a terminal
[00:40] <garnol> Hey, does anyone know a good OCR programme? btw: i really love your plug&play you developed the last years, printer and scanner plug&play is damn good
[00:40] <dnyy> Is there a way to do the 'Carry on USB' thing without a windows PC?  And does it act like a live cd in that I can install it to my HD?
[00:40] <Izinucs> !ocr | garnol
[00:40] <Giraffe> !octave
[00:40] <test34> Marfi, if your log file isnt standard you might have to do your own..
[00:40] <Theeb_> Jack_Sparrow, thx
[00:41] <smkajt> gnutron: yes i'm in konsole
[00:41] <smkajt> terminal

[00:41] <Ben1> hey, i am trying to dual boot hardy and xp and i am a bit confused with the partitions
[00:41] <Ben1> should i have a swap partition?
[00:41] <smkajt> gnutron: so, it did not return any message
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Ben1 one or two drives, yes you need swap
[00:42] <Ben1> i have one drive
[00:42] <gnutron> smkajt: that should move it to /home/user type cd then ls -l  you should see it
[00:42] <jrgp> Ben1, it's always a good idea to have swap, but if you have a very lot of ram, it's not always needed
[00:42] <jrgp> it depends on what you use your computer for\
[00:42] <tiyowan> Anyone having troubles with updating translation-en-us files using update manager in intrepid?
[00:42] <Ben1> and i want to keep my recovery partition from a previous install of vista
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Ben1 you may hit the limit on partitions and need to go to an extended oe
[00:42] <sambagirl> is anyone using zimbra open server with intrepid?
[00:42] <Izinucs> jrgp: also when cruzing a couple different sites I don't have access to "Stop" Back Forward etc..
[00:42] <garnol> Izinucs which one does which? tesseract i read is without GUI, what are Ocrad and GOcr for?
[00:43] <Izinucs> garnol: no idea.. I just had the bot provide the links..
[00:43] <jrgp> Izinucs, close firefox,  rm -rf ~/.mozilla , then open it again
[00:43] <test34> Marfi, search google for "parse program_name_that_created_log_file" maybe
[00:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Ben1 sudo fdisk -l  last letter is L
[00:43] <smkajt> gnutron: it is in a green color, so... i dont get it, what do i do next ?
[00:43] <Izinucs> jrgp: will I loose all the stuff?
[00:43] <garnol> Izinucs ok i will google for it then
[00:43] <Izinucs> bookmarks.. etc.
[00:43] <fdasse> anyone using cccam ?
[00:43] <fdasse> skystar hd ?
[00:43] <jrgp> Izinucs, if it really is there yeah, but that should definitely fix any problem FF is having
[00:44] <gnutron> smkajt: type ./realplayer11gold.bin  case sensitive, remember
[00:44] <sambagirl> has anyone installed zimbra open server in intrepid?
[00:44] <tiyowan> Anyone having troubles with updating translation-en-us files using update manager in intrepid?
[00:44] <Ben1> how do i set up a swap disk?
[00:44] <Izinucs> jrgp: maybe I'll just rename the folder.
[00:44] <ircdcl> Anyone know of any good Emacs add-ons? I've search google but coming up with like a few blogs here and there mentioning emacs here and there but nothing really interesting
[00:44] <jrgp> Izinucs, go for it
[00:44] <Ben1> do i just set up a partition with filesystem linux-swap in gparted?
[00:44] <leggazoid> Why does ubuntu figure my cpu clock on the max multiplier? Is there a way to look at my true cpu clockspeed?
[00:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Ben1 It is done as part of the std install.  have you install ubuntu yet
[00:44] <Ben1> no, im trying to do that
[00:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Ben1 yes, that is how you do it
[00:44] <Ben1> i am at the partitino manager
[00:45] <tiyowan> Anyone having troubles with updating translation-en-us files using update manager in intrepid?
[00:45] <smkajt> gnutron: tks, now i get it from here
[00:45] <gnutron> smkajt: ok
[00:45] <Emphastala> anybody know how to remove tags created in fspot ?
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Ben1 you dont need to make the partions, the installer will do it for you as needed.
[00:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Ben1 you can create them manually, and I would create a sep  /home partition
[00:46] <Ben1> i have unallocated 60mb, recovery 10gb (i want to keep this), unallocated 4.33mg, linux swap 3bg, and new partition that i want ubuntu on which is 100gb, and unallocated 40gb (for xp)
[00:46] <fa2s> hello everybody!
[00:46] <alp_> hi guys I have 8.04 installed but I can't get wifi working it's a fresh install. I used restricted drivers
[00:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Ben1 you windows on the first partition and do the install if not done yet
[00:46] <tiyowan> Am I asking a really stupid question? :-)
[00:47] <test34> speparate /home partition make it easy to re-install ubuntu or try a new distribution
[00:47] <Ben1> so i need windows on first?
[00:47] <jrgp> tiyowan, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:47] <ubuntunoob> I need some help with a failing Xsession on startup.   I removed pulse-audio manager and most instances of pulse audio from synaptic package manager so my sound would work.  After doing this my xsession is failling and I must boot into Gnome Failsafe?  Any ideas on what file needs to be modified to ensure a properly booting xsession without pulse?
[00:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Ben1 that is the easy way.. Install windows on sda1  in whatever size partition you need
[00:47] <fa2s> someone knows how to otimize the ubuntu 8.10?
[00:48] <StevenX> I have ubuntu. How can I install kubuntu, but keep the two completely seperate?
[00:48] <gnutron> Ben1: if dual-booting installing ms windows first makes things easier regarding the mbr. master boot record
[00:48] <Ben1> should i keep the linux swap partiton?
[00:48] <jrgp> StevenX, you can just install KDE and pick whether or not to use gnome or kde when you log in
[00:48] <Jimi__Hendrix> yes
[00:48] <StevenX> I don't want kubuntu to add its icons to ubuntu.
[00:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Ben1 ubuntu will setup the dual boot if windows is already installed..  windows will not setup ubuntu dual boot if it goes on second
[00:48] <jrgp> StevenX, sudo apt-get install kde
[00:48] <Ben1> okay
[00:48] <Ben1> thanks
[00:48] <StevenX> jrgp: Hm.. Ok. I will try that. But will it install a bunch of KDE icons and menus along with the ubuntu ones? I don't want that to happen.
[00:48] <Jimi__Hendrix> ben1 keep it unless you have a #$%^&* load of ram
[00:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Ben1 please also look into sep /home partition
[00:49] <smkajt> my bandwith is not running at it max capacity, what sould i do ?
[00:49] <jrgp> StevenX, the icons will be the same when you're using gnome (ubuntu default) and the KDE applications will be inserted correctly into your ubuntu menus
[00:49] <Ben1> but ubuntu will make its own when i install it to the unallocated space left over from the XP partition right?
[00:49] <Jimi__Hendrix> how do i install grub...assume its not installed
[00:49] <bitmouse> Hey do you still have to use Ndiswrapper for WPC300N wireless card?
[00:49] <CaptainMorgan> Jimi__Hendrix, you'll need the install CD
[00:50] <CaptainMorgan> or live CD
[00:50] <StevenX> jrgp: do you know how i can check what version of a program apt-get will install before I do so?
[00:50] <Jimi__Hendrix> but i dont want to install ubuntu again...just grub
[00:50] <CaptainMorgan> run that, open a terminal
[00:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Ben1 ubuntu will take the unallocated space, add a swap and a singlue ubuntu partiion as the default
[00:50] <bitmouse> smkajt: I have the same problem
[00:50] <tiyowan> jrgp, thank you very much. I'm trying that out right now.
[00:50] <jrgp> np
[00:50] <CaptainMorgan> Jimi__Hendrix, I know - you don't select the *install* option
[00:50] <Ben1> thanks a lot
[00:50] <Jimi__Hendrix> lol
[00:50] <Jimi__Hendrix> ok cool
[00:50] <Ben1> i'm gonna install xp now
[00:50] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[00:50] <smkajt> bitmouse: have u looked it up the web ?
[00:50] <jrgp> StevenX, I'm not sure how to see that through APT, but you can always open synaptic and view the details of the package in question
[00:51] <CaptainMorgan> Jimi__Hendrix, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[00:51] <bitmouse> smkajt: not yet, though I am getting slower speeds transfering through my NAS
[00:51] <tiyowan> jrgp: Tried sudo apt-get upgradre...I'm getting hash sum mismatches on some of the files.
[00:51] <Ben1> do i need to worry about installing grub first?
[00:51] <Izinucs> jrgp: that worked.. fortunatly I had a previous ~/.mozilla.backup I had made a couple of months ago.  After deleting ~/.mozilla and things worked I just renamed the old backup.  Weird that FF would do that to me. Never had that happen
[00:51] <jrgp> tiyowan, have you changed your default repositories?
[00:51] <Jack_Sparrow> ben no
[00:51] <sambagirl> will zimbra server run in intrepid?
[00:51] <StevenX> jrgp: thank you.
[00:51] <CaptainMorgan> Jimi__Hendrix, I've used that reference many times and have had a 100% success rate.
[00:51] <tiyowan> jrgp: Yes, I added the medibuntu repos.
[00:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Ben1 ubuntu will install grub to the mbr for you and setup a chainloader for windows
[00:52] <jrgp> tiyowan, take off what you added then try it again
[00:52] <tiyowan> jrgp: There's an error about some of the index files failing to download.
[00:52] <tiyowan> jrgp: Will do.
[00:52] <Jimi__Hendrix> CaptainMorgan, what if i have arch installed on sda4...with this explain how to make the grub.list the one on sda4
[00:52] <bazz> i recently updated my t61p to 8.10.  now i'm seeing random hangs where my numlock led just flashes.  i found this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/263555) which sounds like it might be the problem.  is there any way i can confirm what my problem really is and also anything i can do to fix it?
[00:53] <CaptainMorgan> Jimi__Hendrix, what is arch?
[00:53] <jj_galvez> I can't get a stsic IP to stick on this computer, every time I reboot my settings have changed back to DHCP, this is driving me nuts anyone out there that can help
[00:53] <bitmouse> Hey do you still have to use Ndisgtk for WPC300N wireless card?
[00:53] <CaptainMorgan> Jimi__Hendrix, first, use the CD to install the grub - then find the exact information regarding sda4 so you can add it menu.lst later
[00:53] <Jimi__Hendrix> arch linux CaptainMorgan
[00:53] <bitmouse> jj_galvez: have you tried editing /etc/network/interfaces?
[00:53] <Slash[GnR]> i spoof my mac address with a user connected to an access point... i connect to the access point... i start tcpdump to my/his ip... i go to the web site and log him out (to have internet access you have to login first through a website that the router sends you)... he logs in... i dont see the pass neither the username... what am i doing wrong?
[00:53] <rozika> i need some help regarding installing edubuntu with wubi, no internet connection, no cdrom, just the .iso files.
[00:53] <BlueEagl1> jj_galvez: /etc/network/interfaces <= you removed dhcp from there?
[00:54] <StevenX> jrgp: This is what will happen if I use your method: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde Read the "Warning"
[00:54] <Jimi__Hendrix> well no how do i make grub point to sda4?
[00:54] <Jimi__Hendrix> to look for menu.list
[00:54] <Schuenemann> how do quit visudo?
[00:54] <Jack_Sparrow> !install > rozika
[00:54] <CaptainMorgan> if you install grub and sda4 is already there, it might just pick it up - otherwise, you can simply edit it
[00:54] <jj_galvez> bitmouse, BlueEagl1 , ok I'll take a look at interfaces and remove DCHP from there
[00:55] <ubuntunoob> I need some help with a failing Xsession on startup.   I removed pulse-audio manager and most instances of pulse audio from synaptic package manager so my sound would work.  After doing this my xsession is failling and I must boot into Gnome Failsafe?  Any ideas on what file needs to be modified to ensure a properly booting xsession without pulse?
[00:55] <bitmouse> jj_galvez: yeah you can even set it to do your static from in there, let me know how it goes
[00:55] <BlueEagl1> Schuenemann: :q
[00:55] <jrgp> StevenX, the warning that page says is very exaggerated. it isn't cluttered to the point of not being able to find what you need and the KDE programs are quite nice
[00:55] <jerlad> test
[00:55] <jj_galvez> bitmouse: thanks, I'll give that a try
[00:55] <BlueEagl1> Schuenemann: to quit without saving: :q!
[00:55] <StevenX> kk.
[00:55] <StevenX> ty
[00:55] <BlueEagl1> Schuenemann: To save and quit: :wq
[00:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Jimi__Hendrix man grub will help

[00:56] <tiyowan> jrgp: Still doesn't work...
[00:56] <Schuenemann> BlueEagle, the ! is to avoid that prompt? The one that says the file has errors?

[00:57] <\Kira> My computer doesnt automount things anymore :(. I've worked around this by just manually mounting everything, until I plugged in my brothers usb music player. I tried to mount it manually, but mount returns that it doesnt exist. I can see the device in df and lsusb, but I cant mount it. I've even tried running gparted to see the device name (like sdd1), but gparted just shows my harddisks.... Any help?
[00:57] <Izinucs> test34: just guessing but is the headset stereo.. if not then maybe the bt is objecting to the lack of an additional channel
[00:57] <tiyowan> jrgp: I think my sources.list is corrupted...could you point me to a resource from where I can get a default intrepid sources.list? I think mine's corrupted.

[00:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Ubuntu_rulez I use gxmame
[00:59] <Schuenemann> BlueEagle, the problem was my keyboard layout isn't correctly set. I was typing '?', not ':'. But I didn't know that was vi because of the syntax check
[00:59] <tiyowan> lzinucs, thx.

[01:00] <jrgp> tiyowan, hope what Iz and I said works for you
[01:00] <bitmouse> He I just added a wireless card to my laptop, ndisgtk has been installed, and it sees my hardware, how do I find it's name "eth1" etc?
[01:01] <ortsvorsteher> try ifconfig in an terminal bitmouse
[01:01] <alp_> hi guys I have 8.04 installed but I can't get wifi working it's a fresh install. I used restricted drivers
[01:02] <\Kira> bitmouse: open terminal and "sudo ifconfig". The sudo part may not be nessesary, not sure
[01:02] <bitmouse> ortsvorsteher: I did, since it isn't "up" its not showing up
[01:02] <Izinucs> alp_: if you haven't done it yet. then go to terminal and "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".. this will update you system
[01:02] <bitmouse> \Kira: check out about
[01:02] <katonn> hi
[01:02] <bitmouse> \Kira: *above
[01:02] <\Kira> bitmouse: or alternatively, use "iwconfig" to see wireless devices only
[01:02] <katonn> can i ask you a question about EDIMAX PCI WIFI CARDS ??
[01:03] <ortsvorsteher> !ask
[01:03] <Izinucs> alp_: that might make things easier for wireless..
[01:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware > katonn
[01:03] <\Kira> bitmouse: that was a command to see your wireless device names, "iwconfig"
[01:03] <bitmouse> \Kira: maybe I need to reboot?
[01:04] <\Kira> bitmouse: why, what happened?
[01:04] <katonn> thanks but i need to ask a technical question
[01:04] <katonn> maybe there is a Wireless channel?

[01:04] <shane2peru> Evolution isn't refreshing and connecting like it should, any ideas?
[01:04] <bitmouse> \Kira: nothing so far, it's just that I just installed the driver view ndisgtk, so perhaps for it to register with iwconfig or ifconfig I need to reboot?
[01:04] <test34> Izinucs, yeah stereo might be the problem I will check if I can set it mono, thanks
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> katonn looking to see if is supported is a good place to start

[01:09] <\Kira> My computer doesnt automount things anymore :(. I've worked around this by just manually mounting everything, until I plugged in my brothers usb music player. I tried to mount it manually, but mount returns that it doesnt exist. I can see the device in df and lsusb, but I cant mount it. I've even tried running gparted to see the device name (like sdd1), but gparted just shows my harddisks.... Any help?
[01:09] <ubuntunoob> hmm anyone familiar with my problem or am i not phraising it correctly?
[01:09] <exodus_ms> katonn, do you see my link above? I couldnt get you nick right :)
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> \Kira what about livecd, does that let them connect
[01:10] <duanedesign> emacs or vi which is better?
[01:10] <\Kira> Jack_Sparrow: Im not worried about getting devices to automount at the moment, but just trying to get these music files on there so he will stop bothering me :P
[01:10] <Jimi__Hendrix> vi
[01:10] <Jimi__Hendrix> vi
[01:10] <Jimi__Hendrix> gvim
[01:11] <FloodBot2> Jimi__Hendrix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:11] <\Kira> Jack_Sparrow: that is a good idea, though :)
[01:11] <Jimi__Hendrix> lol
[01:11] <ubuntunoob> hello?
[01:11] <Jimi__Hendrix> floodbot hates me
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> \Kira try a livecd .. that may get it done
[01:11] <ubuntunoob> is this thing on?
[01:11] <bitmouse> I just installed a wireless card to my laptop via ndisgtk, ndisgtk states that my hardware is seen, how do I find it's name "eth1" etc? so far ifconfig -a hasn't returned anything new.
[01:11] <\Kira> !repeat > ubuntunoob
[01:11] <Ienorand> Does anybody know if there is an "online virtual terminal" available somewhere? I'm sitting at a win machine currently and basically just wanted to see the warm friendliness of the CLI for aminute, without having to install anything...anyone heard of anything like that somewhere online? Or maybe some simple sandbox one could connect to using telnet (not to savvy when it comes to that)?
[01:11] <katonn> someone with EDIMAX EW-7128g   wifi card PCI using INTREPID IBEX ???????
[01:11] <Sinister`> anyone know where sysnfo.conf is ?
[01:11] <exodus_ms> what is the 'fail message'?
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> bitmouse sudo iwconfig
[01:11] <duanedesign> Jimi__Hendrix: have you ever used vi for email
[01:12] <Jimi__Hendrix> no...but for programming yes...
[01:12] <\Kira> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, I think thats what ill have to do :(. Thanks
[01:12] <Jimi__Hendrix> and vi doesnt exist anymore i think...even if you type vi into a console it says vim
[01:12] <exodus_ms> ubuntunoob> what is the fail message? try pastebin
[01:12] <duanedesign> Jimi__Hendrix: what language
[01:13] <\Kira> !hi > /Kira
[01:13] <Jimi__Hendrix> name one
[01:13] <Jimi__Hendrix> ive dabbled in them all but more seriously C++
[01:13] <\Kira> No response ubottu??
[01:13] <katonn> someone with EDIMAX EW-7128g   wifi card PCI using INTREPID IBEX ?????
[01:13] <bitmouse>  just installed a wireless card to my laptop via ndisgtk, ndisgtk states that my hardware is seen, how do I find it's name "eth1" etc? so far ifconfig -a and iwconfig haven't returned anything new.
[01:13] <chaos_> hello!
[01:13] <exodus_ms> katonn, was this the link you use? -- > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/EdimaxEW7128G
[01:14] <exodus_ms> !patience
[01:14] <Jimi__Hendrix> i find vim/gvim (gvim is just with a gui...vim is embedded in a terminal) to be way less bloated then emacs
[01:14] <\Kira> !repeat | bitmouse
[01:14] <katonn> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61
[01:14] <chaos_> bitmouse: use iwconfig
[01:14] <chaos_> or reboot
[01:14] <katonn> look at this it says about intrepid iobex
[01:14] <ubuntunoob> exodus_ms, is that questino posed to me?
[01:14] <ubuntunoob> exodus_ms, if so the failed message is '/usr/bin/pulse not found' error exiting xsession
[01:14] <exodus_ms> katonn> did you try the link I sent?
[01:15] <duanedesign> Jimi__Hendrix: ahh well that is the point of vim and emacs, less bloat
[01:15] <Vassoura> Hello, guys
[01:15] <duanedesign> at least in my opinion
[01:15] <draeath> Got a good one for you. I would like to install an ubuntu variant into a file, hosted on an XFS volume. I would be using my own bootloader (but I could chainload). Can this be (fairly) easily done? I'm looking at ubuntu-studio specifically, but I can just install the server flavour and do it with apt later.
[01:15] <katonn> yes , it hasn;t information
[01:15] <tiyowan> jrgp: Thank you so much for your sources.list. It fixed the problem. :-)
[01:15] <Vassoura> Someone wants to talk to me?
[01:15] <Vassoura> Let's play a game
[01:15] <chaos_> ummm
[01:15] <ircdcl> !ot
[01:15] <chaos_> Thermonuclear Warfare?
[01:16] <Vassoura> empire! Come on, let's play AGE of Empires III
[01:16] <draeath> !ot | Vassoura
[01:16] <chaos_> lol im gonna make a WOPR emulation script
[01:16] <Vassoura> duanedesign Colé, maluco?!
[01:17] <v1per> o.O
[01:17] <Vassoura> duanedesign How are the things?
[01:17] <exodus_ms> katonn> I will assume you followed the directions @ the link you posted. What problem are you having with your wifi?
[01:17] <ircdcl> Vassoura: do you have a question relating to Ubuntu?
[01:17] <ozatomic> anyone know of a help apge that explains teh different clocksources eg (tsc, acpi_pm)
[01:17] <ice_cream> hmm did anyone see what i wrote earlier about interfaces, or was i d/c
[01:17] <Vassoura> duanedesign Ye
[01:17] <ice_cream> about 14 min ago
[01:18] <Jimi__Hendrix> but duanedesign i find vim has even less bloat then emacs
[01:18] <jrgp> tiyowan, glad to help :)
[01:18] <Vassoura> duanedesign are you use ubuntu? I use windows! That Is the best distro!!!
[01:18] <ice_cream> lol
[01:18] <katonn> i;m telling you, it says you don;t need to do anything! because it works out of the box in INTREPID IBEX!
[01:18] <katonn> so i don;t know why i need to install another driver
[01:18] <ice_cream> anyway, i'll copy over what i wrote before
 lo; what is the preferred method to restart networking after changing /etc/network/interfaces ?   cause i had commented out wireless, added in the eth0 stuff, and did /etc/init.d/networking restart   which seemed to fail
 (i had to leave both interfaces, get ips from both, and ifdown eth1 to get the desired effect in the end)
[01:19] <tiyowan> jrgp: I spoke too soon. :( Update manager is still refusing to fetch the translation-en-us files.
[01:19] <tiyowan> jrgp: The sudo apt-get update and upgrade cmds ran without a hitch though.
[01:19] <jrgp> oh
[01:19] <exodus_ms> katonn> ok... but yours is not working 'out of the box' do you want to try and find a solution?
[01:20] <jrgp> tiyowan, what do you need that package for?
[01:20] <jrgp> oh, wait
[01:20] <jrgp> tiyowan, if the upgrade command ran right, try logging out then back in
[01:20] <Linuxnoob100> hey does anyone know where the directorys are located for samba and SSH?
[01:20] <duanedesign> Vassoura yes I use Ubuntu, this is an Ubuntu chat room
[01:21] <smkajt> when i get access denied to moving a direct to usr/local/lib, does it mean i need to log as root? how do i do it? just type root e no password at the log in? do i have to log out?
[01:21] <tiyowan> jrgp: k, brb
[01:21] <katonn> my problem is i can;t see my network
[01:21] <katonn> yeah , i want
[01:21] <usser> !sudo | smkajt
[01:21] <chaos_> do it from the cli
[01:21] <duanedesign> Jimi__Hendrix: I just looked in my add/remove and didnt see any vi, just gvim that you mentioned
[01:21] <katonn> but i can see my neighbor network..can;t connect also
[01:21] <smkajt> ubottu: but i'm not on terminal
[01:21] <Jimi__Hendrix> type vim into the terminal
[01:21] <smkajt> ubottu: just using the "explorer"
[01:21] <smkajt> konqueror
[01:22] <Pici> !bot | smkajt
[01:22] <chaos_> katonn: try "iwlist interface scanning"
[01:22] <matt_familyguy> When I downloaded the 64bit version of ubuntu, the page said your download will begin shortly and all that stuff, but it said the platform was amd64. I didn't see any option for intel64 though
[01:22] <chaos_> if you dont see your network, then reboot or idk
[01:23] <Jimi__Hendrix> duanedesign, that is vim...gvim is like that but with buttons and a gui...kinda like a gedit that has a slimed down UI but more features
[01:23] <usser> anybody knows what kind of "oss" freebsd using? and why on freebsd i can play games with wine and listen to music at the same time? perhaps we should adopt that and ditch alsa altogether?
[01:23] <Mimi> Hi... could someone please tell me how I can find out what video card ubuntu is using? It doesnt seem to be using my nvidia
[01:24] <Jack_Sparrow> usser Please take your comments to a different channel
[01:24] <exodus_ms> katonn> sudo lsmod in the terminal
[01:24] <usser> Jack_Sparrow, sorry, just frustrated
[01:24] <Jimi__Hendrix> and duanedesign, the main difference between emacs and vim/gvim is vim uses text commands (they are very easy to pick up i think) and emacs uses keybord shortcuts
[01:24] <duanedesign> Jimi__Hendrix: yeah I didnt see vim just gvim, maybe Ill find it in the package manager
[01:24] <Linuxnoob100> whats the command to view all my currently running proceses?
[01:24] <Jack_Sparrow> ps
[01:25] <Linuxnoob100> th
[01:25] <usser> Linuxnoob100, ps aux
[01:25] <Mimi> wow its quiet here today
[01:25] <exodus_ms> katonn> open the terminal, type 'sudo lsmod' use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ to paste results
[01:25] <duanedesign> Jimi__Hendrix: I read a couple of articles that seem to support your opinions OReily says they sell more vim books than emacs
[01:26] <tiyowan> jrgp: Logged out, and loggged back in. Still no dice.
[01:26] <Mimi> @_@ isnt that kinda offtopic? #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Mimi agreed
[01:26] <matt_fg> Will someone answer my question
[01:27] <Jack_Sparrow> matt_fg I scrolled back and dont see it
[01:27] <jrgp> tiyowan, you're saying the update manager is giving errors while trying to update that package?
[01:27] <jrgp> what does it say?
[01:27] <duanedesign> 64 bit is 64 bit
[01:27] <matt_fg> matt_familyguy>	When I downloaded the 64bit version of ubuntu, the page said your download will begin shortly and all that stuff, but it said the platform was amd64. I didn't see any option for intel64 though
[01:28] <matt_fg> I know but I dont want amd
[01:28] <duanedesign> amd 64 is what you want
[01:28] <l3d> hey I was wondering about xubuntu would this be the right channel to ask
[01:28] <matt_fg> but i have intel
[01:28] <Jack_Sparrow> matt_fg amd64 is what you want
[01:28] <silfur> intel licensed technology from amd
[01:28] <duanedesign> doesnt matter
[01:28] <matt_fg> oh
[01:28] <chaos_> does anyone know how to get virtualbox to work with 2.6.24-22 kernel
[01:28] <matt_fg> Ok. Thanks
[01:28] <duanedesign> same thing
[01:29] <jonnymac> is there anyone here?
[01:29] <porter1> Yep
[01:29] <jonnymac> oh thank the good lord, just deleted half of everything on my computer
[01:30] <jonnymac> how can I restore my system to the way it was yesterday?
[01:30] <zimbres> jonnymac, Perhaps more than in any other channel
[01:30] <jonnymac> please
[01:30] <tiyowan> jrgp: The update manager runs fine now. But if I tick the Show for individual files arrow in the downloading package information window, it shows me failed status and 0 kb size on the translation-en-us packages.
[01:30] <hotte-> hey guys do you know a problem with iwl3945 modules and an Ad-hoc network... it does not work for me
[01:30] <duanedesign> matt_fg: x86_64 was designed by AMD who renamed it AMD64 Intel implemented it and just changed the name
[01:30] <draeath> anyone know if ubuntu can be installed to a file resident on a filesystem, instead of it's own block device?
[01:31] <alex_21> Hi, so, I'm back. I specified a theme in gdm.conf-custom, but it doesn't show up
[01:31] <alex_21> It still shows the default GDM theme
[01:31] <bonhoffer> it seems firefox has frozen on my in ubuntu -- do i have any option to kill the process?
[01:32] <heret1c> yo :)
[01:32] <bonhoffer> or way to troubleshoot
[01:32] <bitmouse> alright got it working using the instructions at the bottom of this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=651382
[01:32] <stdin> draeath: yes, you want to use wubi
[01:32] <jrgp> bonhoffer, killall -9 firefox
[01:32] <heret1c> is there a way to make windows open bottom center instead of top left, by default?
[01:32] <stdin> !wubi | draeath
[01:32] <draeath> won't work
[01:32] <exodus_ms> bonhoffer> type 'top
[01:32] <draeath> XFS from another linux system
[01:32] <ubuntunoob> I need some help with a failing Xsession on startup.   I removed pulse-audio manager and most instances of pulse audio from synaptic package manager so my sound would work.  After doing this my xsession is failling and I must boot into Gnome Failsafe?  Any ideas on what file needs to be modified to ensure a properly booting xsession without pulse?
[01:32] <ubuntunoob> The fail message it gives me in xsession is when it tries to execute /usr/bin/pulse which no longer exsists by the way.
[01:32] <bonhoffer> thanks
[01:32] <exodus_ms> bonhoffer> type 'top' in a terminal and you can see running process and also 'kill' them
[01:32] <draeath> i know how to boot a file like that with grub... the question is getting the debian-installer magic to accept a file instead of a block device?
[01:33] <exodus_ms> bonhoffer> you can also type 'sudo apt-get install htop' it is a little easier to use :)
[01:33] <bonhoffer> exodus_ms, thanks
[01:33] <tiyowan> jrgp: I read on some of the forums that I should try reinstalling my language pack, but I can't do that from Add/Remove because it has dependencies, and I don't want to mess with the files from within Synaptic because I'm not sure which ones I should remove.
[01:34] <exodus_ms> bonhoffer> use 'F9' to kill an app in htop
[01:34] <jrgp> tiyowan, are you having problems with your computer with it's current language packs?
[01:34] <alex_21> Can anyone help me make an ssh tunnel
[01:34] <stdin> draeath: see http://lubi.sourceforge.net/
[01:34] <bonhoffer> exodus_ms, thanks -- learning a lot tonight
[01:35] <bitmouse> you were right, it was wlan0
[01:35] <tiyowan> jrgp: Absolutely not. :-D
[01:35] <jj_galvez> bitmouse: thanks for the pointer to interfaces, I edited that file along with the resolve.conf file and now I've got my static IP all set
[01:35] <jrgp> tiyowan, ignore it?
[01:35] <draeath> stdin, do you know if that will play with my /boot, or if it will let me manage that myself?
 I, ... what did you put for your DNS server? Do you know that that file won't stay the way you left it when you reboot
[01:36] <FAJ> if your kernel goes bad (hypothetically) and a forcefsck does not fix it, how could one upload a new kernel?  could they copy over the /boot from the livecd?
[01:36] <tiyowan> jrgp: I want to. :) Believe me. It wouldn't cause problems later on would it?
[01:36] <stdin> draeath: I think it will add the option to boot the install, but it shouldn't change/remove anything else
[01:36] <jrgp> tiyowan, shouldn't
[01:37] <Jimi__Hendrix> duanedesign, learning vi has been a right of way in the unix world (or so ive read) emacs, while popular, ive never read this about it
[01:37] <draeath> stdin, so, i boot that option and I'm guessing it will chainload it's own grub with the ubuntu kernels? and from then on it's business as usual (except / is on a /dev/loop?)
[01:37] <jj_galvez> alex_21, I just added the ip address of my DNS servers in the resolve.conf file, I've not rebooted yet, I'll BRB and let you know how it goes
[01:38] <FAJ> if you use the kernel command 'profile' in grub just once, do you ever have to do it again in the grub menu?
[01:38] <alex_21> Does anyone know of a open dns server?
[01:38] <draeath> bind
[01:38] <stdin> draeath: that would be my guess, I've never used it
[01:38] <Gnea> !info bind9
[01:38] <draeath> stdin, thanks, I will check this out
[01:39] <FAJ> if you use the kernel command 'profile' in grub just once, do you ever have to do it again in the grub menu?
[01:39] <heret1c> ...windows open bottom center?
[01:39] <alex_21> Does anyone know of a open dns server I can use to connect my machine to the internet. It is not resolving from my ISP, and that is what fixed it last time
[01:39] <tiyowan> jrgp: 'k, thank you so much for your help. I'll keep checking the forums to see if I can find out some more about it.
[01:39] <stdin> alex_21: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 208.67.222.220 208.67.220.222
[01:40] <jrgp> tiyowan, my pleasure and good luck
[01:40] <Gnea> FAJ: you mean from the boot sequence? no, those changes aren't saved.
[01:40] <stdin> alex_21: those are the DNS servers for Open DNS
[01:40] <elostio> what is a good organizer(calendar, tasks...) for ubuntu? Although synching (web) woutd be nice, i can live without it. I dont mind cli or gui.
 Thanks
[01:40] <duanedesign> Jimi__Hendrix: when I had 8.04 I dabbled in both very briefly.  I havent reinstalled either since Ibex. The last couple of days I have been casually asking about them to decide which I wanted to instal. I have noticed that most people are one or the other.Thanks for your input I think I will go with vim
[01:40] <FAJ> Gnea: right i know that; but is it necessary to add 'profile' to menu.lst or is it a one time thin?
[01:40] <Jack_Sparrow> elostio sunfire by mozilla
[01:40] <FAJ> duanedesign: i personally like the lts
[01:40] <draeath> stdin, where's stdout and stderr?
[01:41] <chaos_> does anyone know how to get virtualbox to work with 2.6.24-22 kernel
[01:41] <stdin> draeath: out and sick
[01:41] <draeath> lol!
[01:41] <X1karr0usX> hey guys
[01:41] <hotte-> hey guys my wlan is buggy need some help plz. hotte@laddelui:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking start        * Configuring network interfaces...     Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Resource temporarily unavailable.
[01:41] <eyelikesityayaya> Heylow,anyone know the command to tar a single file?
[01:41] <duanedesign> FAJ: you mean Hardy
[01:41] <Gnea> FAJ: i'm thinking it's temporary
[01:42] <FAJ> duanedesign:  yes i like it more,,, less issues b/c its more tested.
[01:42] <Jimi__Hendrix> really what made me learn vim duanedesign is when i noticed that things like the man pages use vim like commands...that and the commands seemed simple... /string to search for "string"...:q! for quiting without saving...
[01:42] <hotte-> why i cant give my wlan0 an essid? and i cant set a mode.
[01:42] <Gnea> FAJ: unless a kernel option is engraved in the menu.lst, it's not going to recurr
[01:42] <FAJ> Gnea:  right.....  but should i _keep_ it temporary?  the thing where i read it said to do it in the boot options so i am guessing just once.
[01:42] <hotte-> in dhcp mode all works fine for me
[01:42] <jordan_> is aptitude the same as apt-get but better for dependencies?
[01:42] <chaos_> try sudo before any commands
[01:42] <linux29684> anyone know how to lock the /etc/resolv.conf from changing upon reboot?
[01:42] <chaos_> for wireless
[01:42] <FAJ> Gnea:  right i know that, but should i only have to do it one time?
[01:42] <duanedesign> FAJ: I got it the day it came out and the first couple of weeks I was close to going back to Hardy
[01:42] <exodus_ms> what happens when you type 'sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
[01:42] <FAJ> duanedesign:  ya it's def. getting better,
[01:43] <chaos_> hotte: did you put sudo at the beginning of the commands?
[01:43] <elostio> sunfire = sunbird ?
[01:43] <FAJ> !ot |  duanedesign lets talk here
[01:43] <Gnea> FAJ: it depends on what you want to get out of profiling. are you asking me if it's absolutely necessary?  probably not.  it depends on your situation.
[01:43] <Jack_Sparrow> elostio  yea
[01:43] <chaos_> or are you using a GUI
[01:43] <exodus_ms> chaos_> what happens when you type 'sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
[01:43] <alex_21> Hey, anyone know how to set up a proxy to bypass security, not eligal, just a little need of mine to have mail on ports like 465 and the like
[01:43] <FAJ> Gnea:  well ok i put it in the boot menu once,,,,, so should i have to do it again any time soon?
[01:44] <Float> In Open Office, I'm trying to set it so that it will print the last page in a document first so that the pages are in order in the printer tray. Does anyone know how to do this? Where the setting is?
[01:44] <linux29684> alex_21: use tor: https://torproject.org
[01:44] <linux29684> anyone know how to lock the /etc/resolv.conf from changing upon reboot?
[01:44] <stdin> eyelikesityayaya: why would you want to tar a single file?
[01:44] <Gnea> FAJ: did it make life any better by using it?
[01:44] <FAJ> Gnea:  all its supposed to do is speed up boot time,,, so i only have rebooted once ;)
[01:44] <gnutron> eyelikesityayaya: tar -cvzf file.tar.gz file will tar and gzip any file, drop the 'z' for a  plain .tar file
[01:45] <jj_galvez> alex_21: ok I just rebooted and resolve.conf is still there.  I think that because I set up the interfaces file networkmanager is no longer managing my IP so it left resolve.conf alone
[01:45] <Gnea> FAJ: i would say, go ahead and make it permanent then ;)
 What does that do
[01:45] <terr_> what are the reasons I would want to be in Ubuntu instead of Debian?
[01:45] <exodus_ms> Float> I think you can make those settings change on your printer as well
[01:45] <FAJ> Gnea:  lol,,,, i just did it.  it made the boot time take FOREVER!

[01:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > terr_
[01:45] <CutMeOwnThroat> linux29684, find out what changes it and configure that - normally it's dhclient
[01:45] <draeath> wow. i know ubuntu gets picked on for naming, but 'lubi' seems a bit silly...
[01:45] <FAJ> !ot > Terrasque
[01:45] <linux29684> alex_21: its a large group of proxies that you can tunnel to with many layers of encryption; you can access the outside world (and port 465 through a socks5/4a proxy with tor)
 Mine won't, its locked pretty tightly, though admitable I only rebotted once
[01:46] <FAJ> !ot > terr_
[01:46] <Float> exodus_ms: Would you know where that setting is?
[01:46] <Gnea> FAJ: oh, so you were just trying to see if I knew what it did? :P heh, if it boots slower and doesn't solve any problems, then no, I wouldn't use it.
[01:46] <linux29684> CutMeOwnThroat: checked the dhclient.conf, and it was not that; it was a bug in kvpnc changing my dns /etc/resolv.conf
[01:46] <linux29684> alex_21: tor bypasses firewalls
[01:46] <FAJ> Gnea:  lol.... i am trying to figure out kind of what it does; guessing it's just a one time thing
[01:46] <exodus_ms> Float> check your printer config... could be under settings when you go to print?
[01:47] <FAJ> !nick
[01:47] <FAJ> gah
[01:47] <tiyowan> jrgp: Just checked out the forums. Found a specific thread about the problem. It says that if the any file gets a "Ign:" flag in sudo apt-get install, it means that it's up-to-date already. :-)
[01:47] <Float> Exodus_ms: Well, I've looked under printer settings and everything, and I don't see that setting anywhere. There's a "collate" setting, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
[01:48] <jordan_> fajita: configure
 What port does it use?
[01:48] <linux29684> alex_21: it uses all ports, most commonly 443
[01:48] <alex_21> You can do that?
[01:49] <linux29684> alex_21: yes, because there are thousands of servers
[01:49] <alex_21> What if I want to set up one for myself on my home computer and on my school computer?
[01:49] <exodus_ms> Float> what about under file/printer settings/properties?
[01:49] <adub> has anyone in here ever setup kannel??
[01:49] <linux29684> alex_21: it will probably only work on the home computer because your school network only gives a local IP, but tor will work in client mode at school and server and client at home
[01:50] <linux29684> anyone know how to lock the /etc/resolv.conf from changing upon reboot? kvpnc bug keeps changing it.
[01:50] <macondo> Is there anything I can do if I test positive for the memory test other than change the ram?
[01:50] <gleesond> anyone know if there is a channel for "ubuntu eee"
[01:50] <[T]ank> where is the grub menu.lst located on the Live CD?
[01:50] <Jack_Sparrow> macondo look for mismatched ram , you may only need to buy half
[01:50] <jordan_> i'm on ubuntu i just installed apache2 i want an httpd for perl what do i need to do to use it and configure it
[01:50] <draeath> stdin, found this, might be more useful (generic, not ubuntu specific): http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[01:51] <fiston> hello
[01:51] <Jack_Sparrow> [T]ank /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:51] <forces> how can I install a .so file?
[01:51] <Float> exodus_ms: Still nothing there. I dunno, it's just a minor annoyance. I can worry about it later. Thanks though.
[01:51] <[T]ank> Jack_Sparrow: root@ubuntu:~# cd /boot/grub
[01:51] <[T]ank> -su: cd: /boot/grub: No such file or directory
[01:51] <[T]ank> root@ubuntu:~#
 Write a shell script to move a new resolve.conf file into the /etc/ directory and link it at the end ot the boot sequence
[01:52] <Jack_Sparrow> forces look for a howto where you got the file you want to instal
[01:52] <jj_galvez> linux29684: try making it readonly, see if taht helps
[01:52] <alex_21> How do I set up the ssh tunnel from school as the client and home as the server?
[01:52] <jordan_> is there a link I can follow or tutorial on how to use apache and perl scipts
[01:52] <linux29684> jj_galvez: i tried a sudo chmod 444 on it, and i have no scripting ability
[01:52] <Jack_Sparrow> [T]ank                 /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:53] <[T]ank> Jack_Sparrow: there is nothing there.
[01:53] <linux29684> alex_21: ssh tunnel is different than a tor tunnel, you can sudo apt-get install openssh-server at home and apt-get install openssh-client (or live cd w/ ssh) at school
[01:53] <[T]ank> live cd... not the actual install
[01:53] <jj_galvez> alex_21: can you ssh to your home computer?
[01:53] <Jack_Sparrow> [T]ank gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst   paste that into a term
[01:53] <forces> I downloaded flash 64bits alpha
[01:53] <heogen> hi, anyone know the bugdom game to ubuntu?
[01:53] <alex_21> No
[01:53] <linux29684> alex_21: normally port 22 is open, but you can tunnel SSH through tor
[01:54] <exodus_ms> Float> got it... you ready?
[01:54] <alex_21> Unless I can somehow figure out the ports.
[01:54] <forces> I want install it
[01:54] <heogen> anyone know this game?
[01:54] <Jack_Sparrow> [T]ank are you trying to fix your installed ubvuntu?
[01:54] <heogen> bugdom?
[01:54] <slayton> alex_21, is your computer behind a router at home? if it is you need to setup port forwarding on your router
[01:54] <heogen> anyone play this game?
[01:54] <forces> I have this file: libflashplayer.so
[01:54] <alex_21> We have a port 80 http proxy and a port 443 https proxy
[01:54] <linux29684> slayton: his server at school blocks many things
[01:54] <jj_galvez> alex_21: first you need to have an ssh server running at home
[01:54] <[T]ank> Jack_Sparrow: no
[01:54] <[T]ank> using live cd on usb
[01:55] <heogen> bugdom game?
[01:55] <slayton> linux29684, right but if his home computer is behind a router he needs to enable port forwaring on his home router so he can ssh to his home computer
[01:55] <[T]ank> the file is not there on live cd.
[01:55] <heogen> someone know it
[01:55] <slayton> heogen, your !offtopic
[01:55] <jj_galvez> alex_21: then you can use something like gstm to make the tunnel
[01:55] <Jack_Sparrow> [T]ank I gave you the normal place for it..
[01:55] <slayton> !offtopic ! heogen
[01:55] <alex_21> I can ssh into my home computer from anywhere else
[01:55] <[T]ank> right... that is where it is on an installed version... its different on live cd
[01:55] <slayton> alex_21, then your school is probably blocking port80 out
[01:55] <linux29684> alex_21: or ssh username@server.com -C -L 127.0.0.1:9050:127.0.0.1:22
[01:55] <heogen> <slayton why i'm off topic?
[01:56] <slayton> heogen, talking about a game?
[01:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !games
[01:56] <heogen> <slayton I just make a question
[01:56] <heogen> <slayton if you know this game?
[01:56] <linux29684> anyone know how to lock the /etc/resolv.conf from changing upon reboot? kvpnc bug keeps changing it.  i have no scripting ability and sudo chmod 444 does no good.
[01:56] <heogen> <slayton because I would like to install in ubuntu
 what is this. Can you break it down
[01:57] <slayton> heogen,  if you have a question about how to get the game working or something like that ,but asking people if they know a certain game is offtopic.....
[01:57] <heogen> <slayton and normally this game is for windows and mac
[01:57] <Jack_Sparrow> linux29684 try asking in #kubuntu if Ubuntu-gnome people dont answer
[01:57] <slayton> heogen, that is a good question how to install a game in ubuntu
[01:57] <linux29684> ok, thanks Jack
[01:57] <heogen> <slayton ok.
[01:57] <linux29684> alex_21, i can explain more in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:57] <Hy71194> hai Ciaranarchy :D
[01:57] <macondo> What options do I have if my ram test positive for failure with memory test?
[01:57] <Hy71194> how was p2p network? :P
[01:57] <heogen> <slayton but normally in ubuntu you install the game with add and remove program
[01:57] <OO7> heogen use WINE
[01:57] <itai_michaelson> can anyone recommend a good backup tool for ubuntu. i don't want to backup data, i want to back up /. i read about pybackpack and sbackup. any recommendation ?
[01:57] <Ciaranarchy> Hy71194: It's a good network
[01:58] <Hy71194> Ciaranarchy im Harry :(
[01:58] <slayton> heogen, right so then the appropriate question would be to ask "Is bugdom in the ubuntu repositories"
[01:58] <Ciaranarchy> Ahh
[01:58] <Ciaranarchy> I see
[01:58] <bobthemil> Could someone help me fix my wireless network? It works sporadically, is configured with WEP and DHCP, and my router says that a device is attached, but my laptop is not getting an IP address (not accepting?)
[01:58] <Jack_Sparrow> macondo One option, repair the broken hardware, set bios to a slower setting if it has one
[01:58] <macondo> itai_michaelson: rsync is a classic
 I don't like to use wine
[01:58] <slayton> heogen, the etiquette is to ask questions about a problem and see if people know how to solve the problem
[01:58] <chaos_> bobthemil: try sudo dhcpcd wlan0
[01:58] <OO7> why not...
 ok thank you
[01:58] <Ciaranarchy> Do you guys ever look at photos using ubuntu?
[01:58] <bobthemil> sudo: dhcpcd: command not found
[01:58] <macondo> Jack_Sparrow, isn't there an option to disable certain ram faulty sectors?
[01:58] <slayton> heogen, it doesn't appear that there is a linux version of bugdom
[01:58] <craigbass1976> I just upgraded a box from feisty to gutsy.  No X.  I seem to remember running into this on another box, but can't remember exactly how I fixed it.  Something about x reconfigure?
[01:58] <Ciaranarchy> Like...photos...that are...by carl?
[01:59] <slayton> heogen, neither in the repos or available for installation from source either
[01:59] <Jack_Sparrow> macondo not in any I have seen
[01:59] <itai_michaelson> macondo, will i be able to restore if the system doesn't boot (from live cd or something?)
[01:59] <chaos_> sudo apt-get install dhcpcd
[01:59] <ubuntunoob> I need some help with a failing Xsession on startup.   I removed pulse-audio manager and most instances of pulse audio from synaptic package manager so my sound would work.  After doing this my xsession is failling and I must boot into Gnome Failsafe?  Any ideas on what file needs to be modified to ensure a properly booting xsession without pulse?
[01:59] <ubuntunoob> The fail message it gives me in xsession is when it tries to execute /usr/bin/pulse which no longer exsists by the way.
[01:59] <bobthemil> chaos_: i cant do that without a network connection
[01:59] <heogen> "Is bugdom in the ubuntu repositories?
[01:59] <chaos_> oh haha right
[01:59] <exodus_ms> !repeat
[01:59] <kr00l> can i get gOS help here?
[01:59] <Jack_Sparrow> heogen no
[01:59] <chaos_> no wired connection in the house then?
[01:59] <ircdcl> itai_michaelson: rsync + cron and there is a GUI for both, Grsync and gnome-schedule
[01:59] <chaos_> how are you on IRC?
[01:59] <macondo> itai_michaelson, what do you mean? you are backing up data, when you need it, you'll be able to restore it

[02:03] <jon5000> Hi.  Anyone want to provide some help to a novice trying to install dual boot?
[02:03] <Mimi> Jack_Sparrow,  Yeah, but I need to know the driver, not what the card is (because after 2 years of stable Ubuntu, my laptop monitor just went black , and it wont load my video card). Trying to troubleshoot this thing. ^^
[02:03] <dnyy> I'm trying to create a startup on usb, but it gets stuck at "Starting Up"  What's wrong with it? :(
[02:03] <deadoralive> Hello there. Is DevC++ available as development software for Linux? (Ubuntu, specifically).
[02:03] <chaos_> jon5000: install whatever OS you want first, and then ubuntu, and it will usually autodetect it
[02:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Mimi did livecd get the monitor to work?
[02:03] <n8tuser> deadoralive-> c++ and gcc
[02:04] <chaos_> deadoralive: use wine!
[02:04] <corgan> anyone had trouble connecting to yahoo with pidgin
[02:04] <chaos_> if you want devC++
[02:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !usb
[02:04] <n8tuser> deadoralive-> or use eclipse
[02:04] <exodus_ms> !eclipse
[02:04] <chaos_> deadoralive: or use scite
[02:04] <chaos_> eclipse is good too
[02:05] <deadoralive> n8tuser: yes, I think I'll use Eclipse. But yesterday a friend of mine told me that DevC++ is available as Linux software too, I tried to search a package for it with no success, that's why I came here asking you.
[02:05] <deadoralive> Thank you for the answer :-)
[02:05] <jon5000> I have Vista on here already.  you saying i should just take the sugestion that ubuntu install makes? (which is 84.7GB
[02:05] <ircdcl> Anyone know of any good Emacs add-ons? I've search google but coming up with like a few blogs here and there mentioning emacs here and there but nothing really interesting
[02:06] <deadoralive> jon5000: you can also change the size it'll take and it'll install de boot loader anyway.
[02:06] <deadoralive> the*
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Mimi Video Driver Version for Nvidia  (/proc/driver/nvidia/version)
[02:06] <Mimi> Jack_Sparrow,  Yes, this computer has always ran ubuntu very well, even Intrepid since Beta. But the other day I was just working on the laptop as usual, and the screen just went black. Reboot woudlnt even display the BIOS picture. I had to unplug battery and power, and let it sit, before video worked... but only a small resolution :P So I guess nvidia driver isnt being used, or the card went  dead. Complicated problem, I guess :P
[02:06] <jon5000> but is there a "right" size?
[02:06] <DreaDy> how install skins in amsn
[02:06] <DreaDy> ???
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Mimi livecd will tell you alot really fast
[02:07] <Mimi> Jack_Sparrow,  yeah, liveCD hangs now, when it hasn't ever before :(
[02:07] <Jack_Sparrow> probably more than a video driver issue
[02:07] <deadoralive> jon5000: it depends. how much do you want it to take? what are you going to do in this linux partition? are you going to store files? develop? browse internet?
[02:07] <Mimi> Jack_Sparrow, I'm trying to find out as much as I can before calling DELL, since they've told me they can't really help me with Ubuntu *fist shake at them*
[02:07] <exodus_ms> deadoralive> I think devpp runs on linux using QT
[02:08] <craigbass1976> I just upgraded a box from feisty to gutsy.  No X.  I seem to remember running into this on another box, but can't remember exactly how I fixed it.  Something about x reconfigure?
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Mimi try a windows cd
[02:08] <[T]ank> anyone else know where to edit the grub menu on the live cd?
[02:08] <Mimi> Jack_Sparrow, is there a windows LiveCD? :O
[02:08] <deadoralive> exodus_ms: so you're telling me that QT has dev++? that's nice, i should give a try.
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Mimi installcd to see if it boots
[02:09] <n8tuser> [T]ank-> you dont, only once you boot you can add parameters by pressing esc
[02:09] <Mimi> Jack_Sparrow, OH, sorry, well, I'
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Mimi I actually have XP working on USB
[02:09] <exodus_ms> deadoralive> The QT libraries installed from the repositories differ in naming convention from the ones looked for by devcpp I think?
[02:09] <Mimi> Jack_Sparrow, OH, sorry, well, I'm using the laptop right now, it works fine, just the small resolution.  Windows install CD would only show the smallest resolution anyway
[02:09] <jon5000> deadoralive: not going to store files per se (though I might want to back up my file storage system (USB drive) on here).  basically I have a usb drive for all pictures, vids, music, etc.  I want to keep all that on the USB drive.
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Mimi Ok, didnt see you had any screen working
[02:10] <[T]ank> n8tuser: not true... i have done this once before... just cant remember where.
[02:10] <deadoralive> jon5000: you need to know what are you going to do with this linux partition.
[02:10] <[T]ank> the file just has a different name
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Mimi 1024x768 is max vesa mode and should fill the screen
[02:10] <deadoralive> how much do you have?
[02:10] <jon5000> What I want to do is use the Ubuntu operating system for everything, but i am gunshy of getting rid of vista (yet)
[02:10] <n8tuser> [T]ank-> do you expect it to stay persistent? do you believe you can write into a read only livecd ?
[02:11] <exodus_ms> deadoralive> is this what you are looking for --> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10639&package_id=12148&release_id=46016
[02:11] <jon5000> I have about 285gb
[02:11] <[T]ank> It is on the USB. yes it stays persistant.
[02:11] <bdelin88> any reason why i should learn how to compile the kernel?
[02:12] <Mimi> Jack_Sparrow, I got bios setup so it doesn't stretch the screen when using small rez  (because stretched looks all blurry, eww)    mmm now you tell me that, i wonder why highest rez I got now is 800x something (checked screen resolution. Oh well, doesn't really matter..  I'll probably just get a new card if Dell refuses help.  Even though the lappy is less than a year old xD
[02:12] <Mimi> bdelin88, ... no, no reason whatsoever, unless you're running gentoo or something hhe
[02:12] <bdelin88> i guess i should learn about the terminal then maybe
[02:12] <deadoralive> exodus_ms: this is the IDE? :o
[02:12] <n8tuser> [T]ank-> usb is not livecd
[02:13] <jon5000> deadoralive: the "guided" partition wont let me take the vista down to any less than 70% or 202gb.  this leaves 85gb for ubuntu
[02:13] <deadoralive> jon5000: try enjoying the LiveCD first then. with the LiveCD you can use Ubuntu freely, store files, download files, and without taking any HD space
[02:14] <Melik> My openoffice just lost it's skin and now is gray for some reason.. >> http://i36.tinypic.com/tahrna.png | how can i get it back?
[02:14] <[T]ank> you missed the first post of mine. Im not trying to be a pain. The live cd structure and usb are the same.
[02:14] <craigbass1976> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg... It's something like that.
[02:14] <[T]ank> one just runs from usb and the other from cd
[02:14] <deadoralive> if you already tried it and want to install, i think 85gb is enough, if you want less, i dont think it will block you to do that, just dont do the guided partition
[02:14] <Joshca> Help. I have a Geforce 9800 GT 512mb and it won't work, I've tried the restricted drivers and the nvidia install package, I've also installed the latest kernel source and kernel headers yet still no go
[02:15] <Joshca> says it can find the screen but won't open or something
[02:15] <Joshca> :(
[02:15] <jon5000> deadoralive: i am in the livecd environment now.  I enjoy it, but have decided that I want to go permanent.  not just temporary.  I just want to keep Vista for a few things and in case of emergency
[02:15] <Joshca> thank you
[02:15] <bdelin88> Joshca: did you download the nvidia drivers from the site?
[02:15] <jon5000> where emergency = this is over my head
[02:15] <bdelin88> Joshca: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us <-here
[02:15] <nathan_> how do i watch you tube vids in hardy
[02:16] <Joshca> yes I tried those
[02:16] <Joshca> no go
[02:16] <IndyGunFreak> nathan_: install flash
[02:16] <bdelin88> nathan_: just the same way as windows lol
[02:16] <chaos_> well ubuntu is a lot like windows, but not exactly. its still easy to use
[02:16] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[02:16] <Joshca> bdelin88: and my chipset is supported, my mb chipset
[02:16] <bdelin88> Joshca: did ou install them and how did that go?
[02:16] <bdelin88> Joshca: let me pm you right quick
[02:16] <Joshca> bdelin88: same result as the restricted drivers. I even have noapci set etc.
[02:16] <Joshca> bdelin88:  sure :)
[02:17] <pinnerup> I'm wanting to reinstall Ubuntu, using a new partition as / and using the partition that's currently serving as / as /home instead, since it's a huge 500 GB partition that has all my data. Can I go ahead and use my current / as a /home for a new system, even if it still has all the file structures of a / partition?
[02:17] <jon5000> deadoralive: ok.  but just so i understand... whatever space is reserved in the vista partition will be inaccesable space for ubuntu to save files to?
[02:17] <nathan_> cant remember what the synaptic was for flash player
[02:17] <deadoralive> jon5000: no.
[02:17] <deadoralive> windows doesn't recognize linux. linux does recognize windows.
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> nathan_: i'd download it from adobe.com, so you can get flash 10.. i'm pretty sure the repos have flash 9
[02:17] <linuxhelp_de> hello to all, does ubuntu make sense at a HP C8000 as server
[02:17] <deadoralive> they don't like us, we love everybody s2 :D
[02:18] <n8tuser> linuxhelp_de-> wha exactly are you after?
[02:18] <nathan_> tried adobe it didnt work/
[02:18] <IndyGunFreak> nathan_: are you using 64bit?
[02:18] <rlt> pinnerup: should be okay, especially if you don't make any users called boot, var, etc.
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> pinnerup If I understand you correctly.. yes
[02:18] <jon5000> deadoralive: do you mean that ubuntu will be able to save files in the other partition?
[02:18] <pinnerup> rlt: I don't plan to :)
[02:19] <exodus_ms> ntfs-config
[02:19] <nathan_> not hardly its a pentium 111 32
[02:19] <linuxhelp_de> i am interesed to get a high perfomance server with risc
[02:19] <nathan_> lol
[02:19] <techqbert> "Make USB startup disk" is okay to be used on thumb drives that carry around previous documents right?
[02:19] <deadoralive> jon5000: yes, 'maybe' you will need to configure something with samba, but it's possible.
[02:19] <linuxhelp_de> or should i take IA64?
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> nathan_: what version of ubuntu did you install again?
[02:20] <exodus_ms> install ntfs-config
[02:20] <nathan_> hardy 8.04
[02:20] <IndyGunFreak> nathan_: and what happened when you downloaded the .deb file from adobe.com?
[02:20] <jon5000> deadoralive, does it make the most sense then to MAX out the ubuntu partition to max out the space ubuntu can save create or modify files in, or is this unnecessary ?
[02:20] <nathan_> nothing
[02:21] <ubuntu_user> hello everybody
[02:21] <bdelin88> anyone know a good place to read up and get a good grasp of just how exactly linux works, how the repos work together and all that

[02:21] <wisd0m> help me please, I was trying to install Flash 10 (64bit support) in 8.10 x64.
[02:22] <axisys> how do turn on journaled quota ?
[02:22] <Goat25> so, ubuntu tells you what package to install if you type a command that can't be found.  that's a neat trick, are they using a custom version of bash?
[02:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash64
[02:22] <wisd0m> thanks
[02:22] <wisd0m> that for the 32 bit version

[02:25] <deadoralive> jon5000: if this is your first run on linux, don't use all your HD on it, try it a little more, try other distros if you want to, and then when you already know enough about linux you can take a decision like that
[02:25] <StevenX> Can someone help me with this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79595/
[02:25] <deadoralive> exodus_ms: this dev c++ is the ide right? no update since 2001, do you think its a good idea to use it or eclipse is a better choice?

[02:27] <Emphastala> nice, gta4 is out for the pc
[02:27] <sarat> can anybody help me
[02:27] <StevenX> dr_willis: I don't know how to answer that question. What would be the official method to use to install Open Office?
[02:27] <nathan_> cant remember what the synaptic was for flash player anyone know it?
[02:27] <oopop> hello, all, can i use gcc compile my code and generate dll files?
[02:27] <onetinsoldier> Pavlz, does apt-get update do anything?

[02:28] <heogen> hey how to put the game full scream
[02:28] <heogen> ?
[02:28] <Pavlz> nothing !!!!
[02:28] <sarat> ubuntu 8.0.4 lts
[02:28] <onetinsoldier> Pavlz, are you trying to update from and older version of ubuntu to a newer version?
[02:28] <deadoralive> StevenX: there is not an official method. you can install it using Add/Remove..., also using Synaptics Package Manager or downloading the source and compiling by yourself.
[02:28] <StevenX> Jack_Sparrow: I had to uninstall KDE from my system. It seems to have erased Open Office as well. Now I can't get it to install.
[02:28] <Pavlz> apt-get works
[02:28] <heogen> for example torcs
[02:29] <heogen> how to put full scream?
[02:29] <nathan_> how do i install restricted extras?
[02:29] <heogen> this game?
[02:29] <StevenX> deadoralive: Something has gone wrong with my system. I can't do it using apt-get or the Synaptics Package Manager.
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> StevenX oo is part of a metapackage
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> heogen Please stop..
[02:29] <Pavlz> apt-get dist-upgrade says that there are not packages to update
[02:29] <StevenX> Jack_Sparrow: What does that mean?
[02:29] <onetinsoldier> Pavlz, are you trying to update from and older version of ubuntu to a newer version?
[02:29] <Pavlz> but i got a kernel old
[02:29] <gatewaydrug> package manager, search for restricted extras, add them and apply
[02:30] <deadoralive> StevenX: do you get any error? can you show it to us? already tried add/remove?
[02:30] <Pavlz> from an older to a new version
[02:30] <exodus_ms> it wont show an update if you are running lts
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> StevenX you can reinstall kubuntu-desktop ?
[02:30] <UnrealClock> Woah, its an IRC channel
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !pm > nathan_
[02:30] <StevenX> Jack_Sparrow: I would not like to reinstall kubuntu-desktop. I uninstalled it because I didn't want it on the system.
[02:30] <StevenX> deadoralive: Yes I do. : http://paste.ubuntu.com/79595/
[02:31] <dr_willis> StevenX,  use the version in the repos/package manager... and it should allready be installed.
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> StevenX you can reinstall ubuntu-desktop ?
[02:31] <gatewaydrug> can anybody give me a hand with my printer troubles? even when its told to print on legal size paper, it fubars it, chopping up the top part of the document
[02:31] <UnrealClock> I've installed this current copy of Ubuntu using the Wubi install method. Is there anyway to increase the size of my "hard-drive"
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> StevenX what desktop are you running
[02:31] <StevenX> Jack_Sparrow: Ubuntu 8.10, with gnome.
[02:31] <X1karr0usX> seriously, anyone here speak german that knows ubuntu... im tryin to help this lady out but theres a language barrier...
[02:32] <onetinsoldier> Pavlz, i believe you will first need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file. but i can't help much with that, as in what to change exactly in the file. i'm running standard debian here
[02:32] <Jack_Sparrow> StevenX reinstall ubuntu-desktop will get you there
[02:32] <comradekingu> UnrealClock, gparted or parted magic
[02:32] <kitche> !de | X1karr0usX
[02:32] <StevenX> Jack_Sparrow: Thank you. I will try that.
[02:32] <StevenX> Jack_Sparrow: Is there a command for reinstall, or can I just use "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[02:32] <UnrealClock> comradekingu: i was under the impression Wubi doesn't use a partition
[02:33] <Jack_Sparrow> X1karr0usX there is a german ubuntu channel
[02:33] <Jack_Sparrow> StevenX sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[02:34] <exodus_ms> Pavlz> are you trying to upgrade form 8.04
[02:34] <Jack_Sparrow> UnrealClock correct, and not actually being on a partition is my number one reason for never recommending it
[02:34] <Pavlz> one moment
[02:34] <UnrealClock> Jack_Sparrow, I'm still lacking an answer to my question
[02:34] <bdelin88> vmware or vbox guys, what uses less resources?
[02:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !wubi
[02:35] <comradekingu> UnrealClock: then why is there a problem?
[02:35] <Jack_Sparrow> UnrealClock read thier site docs.. good luck
[02:35] <StevenX> Jack_Sparrow: apt-get says that ubuntu-desktop is already installed and latest version.
[02:35] <dr_willis> bdelin88,  i find vbox easier  to use. Vmware has gotten.. a bit overkill for my needs.. but your needs may vary
[02:35] <comradekingu> The obvious solution to "bigger hardrive" would be to get a bigger one..
[02:36] <mudkip> I'm having issues with my wifi card anyone good with that shit?
[02:36] <Pavlz> what i must to do ?
[02:36] <UnrealClock> The wubi website doesn't seem to be able to provide me with an answer.
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> StevenX there is a way to have it fix the install without removing everything but I just dont do that suff often
[02:36] <exodus_ms> Pavlz> are you trying to upgrade from 8.04
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> UnrealClock poor support.. another issue
[02:36] <Pavlz> how ?
[02:37] <Pavlz> now i got sources.list opened
[02:37] <tim1> hi guys i have install new cursors, my browser fire-fox seems to use the default how can i fix this please ?
[02:37] <bdelin88> also if anyone knows of any linux ported games, are the frame rates comparable with window$?
[02:37] <flugh> i have a problem. i installed ubuntu 8.10 last night (been a user for years, off and on) on my dell xps m1710 notebook, and EVERYTHING works. wth?
[02:37] <Pavlz> what i must to do ?
[02:37] <StevenX> Jack_Sparrow: how can I use the "reinstall" command in apt-get? I try "apt-get --reinstall ubuntu-desktop" but that is not working.
[02:37] <linux29684> mudkip: what problem are you having with your wireless card?
[02:37] <exodus_ms> Pavlz> I was under the impression you were having problems upgrading your version of ubuntu?
[02:37] <Pavlz> yes it is
[02:37] <mudkip> StevenX use synaptic
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> StevenX purge comes to mind but there must be an easier way.
[02:38] <exodus_ms> Pavlz> are you using hardy
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> bdelin88 not really
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !games > bdelin88
[02:38] <bdelin88> Jack_Sparrow: even for linux ported games, they are worse? wow...
[02:39] <UnrealClock> I'm also in the middle of waiting for a new laptop to come in the mail. How difficult is it to install a copy of Ubuntu on a new Dell Inspiron 1525
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> bdelin88 some are better than in windows actually
[02:39] <bdelin88> hmm
[02:39] <bdelin88> any off  the top of your head?
[02:39] <UnrealClock> I've heard that laptops are notoriously difficult in certain ways driver wise for installing Linux on.
[02:39] <Pavlz> i am to the 2.6.15-53-386
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> bdelin88 I for one am hooked on World of Padman...
[02:39] <exodus_ms> Pavlz> if you are running ubuntu 8.04 you will need to make a change in your 'software sources' in order to use 'update manager' to upgrade to 8.10
[02:40] <bdelin88> Jack_Sparrow: lol world of padman?
[02:40] <onetinsoldier> exodus_ms, his kernel version is  2.6.15-53-386
[02:40] <UnrealClock> Cartoonish Standalone Quake 3
[02:40] <Jack_Sparrow> bdelin88 very cool..
[02:40] <FishieFoo> Well, upgrading Ubuntu from Hardy Heron to Gutsy Gibbon fixed Transmission Bittorrent client to allow me to prioritize individual files, but it also lost the 850MB it had already downloaded, just like I feared.
[02:40] <flugh> dell seems to be a bit easier than my past stuff since they have a few models with linux installed out of the box. so there's some linux docs/howtos on their site (model specific, but informative)
[02:40] <adub> has anyone in here setup a WAP application called kannel before?
[02:41] <exodus_ms> onetinsoldier> I thought he wanted to upgrade to 8.10 from 8.04... nevermind... thankyou
[02:41] <onetinsoldier> exodus_ms, yw
[02:41] <\Kira> how can I tell which wireless driver I am using from the command prompt?
[02:41] <StevenX> Why do I keep getting an unmet dependencies error?
[02:42] <Pavlz> Dapper Drake Release i386 20060807.1 Edubuntu
[02:42] <onetinsoldier> \Kira, try  lspci -v | less
[02:42] <Jack_Sparrow> StevenX can you pastebin your sources.list
[02:42] <\Kira> onetinsoldier: okay, thanks
[02:42] <onetinsoldier> np
[02:42] <gnutron> \Kira: lsmod lists all loaded modules, you should spot it.
[02:42] <Jumblehead> hi all
[02:43] <Jumblehead> I cant get sauerbraten to start .. could anyone help me plz?
[02:43] <onetinsoldier> \Kira, yeah, what gnutron said is a good one too, lsmod
[02:43] <dr_willis> Jumblehead,  launch it from a terminal, look for error messages for starts.
[02:44] <StevenX> Jack_Sparrow: where can I find that file?

[02:45] <Jack_Sparrow>  Sauerbraten and Cube

[02:45] <UnrealClock> Is there any way to get the ol' windows click-the-middle-mouse-wheel-and-scroll-down-a-page-enjoyably thing.
[02:45] <dr_willis> UnrealClock,  my wife HATES that feature in windows...
[02:45] <UnrealClock> It encourages my laziness
[02:46] <\Kira> :D
[02:46] <UnrealClock> as I don't like moving my hand around unless I'm animating in Flash.
[02:46] <dr_willis> UnrealClock,  i need to figure out how to disable it for her under vista now.
[02:46] <UnrealClock> Break the middle mouse wheel, and have your FPS games suffer the result
[02:46] <UnrealClock> not that VISTA CAN PALY THEM HARHAR
[02:47] <pogztimz> gud morning. how do i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 from CLI?
[02:47] <StevenX> Jack_Sparrow: here are the contents of my sources.list file.
[02:47] <StevenX> http://paste.ubuntu.com/79603/
[02:47] <jordan_> i'm trying to install apache2 i just apt-get and how do i configure it so it will run my perl scripts
[02:47] <\Kira> pogztimz: its not morning were alot of us are :)
[02:48] <\Kira> pogztimz: what does CLI stand for, btw?
[02:48] <dr_willis> Cool Leet Interface
[02:48] <exodus_ms> pogztimz> did you make sure that 'normal releases' is selected in your software sources?
[02:48] <dr_willis> :)
[02:48] <pogztimz> command line interface :)
[02:48] <pogztimz> ye
[02:48] <\Kira> pogztimz: I see, thanks
[02:49] <pogztimz> but i want to do it in CLI.. i think its much faster
[02:49] <flugh> anyone using nvidia's drivers and getting a 'flicker' every so often?
[02:50] <exodus_ms> sure, but 8.04 is an lts version, if you do not make that change via cl or whatever, you will not be able to grab the latets distro
[02:50] <UnrealClock> I've always assumed a flicker means compiz is hanging around raping your love for 3D
[02:50] <Jack_Sparrow> StevenX http://paste.ubuntu.com/79604/
[02:50] <alp_> hi guys I can't use wifi, driver seems activated in restricted drivers but I cant see any networks
[02:50] <StevenX> Jack_Sparrow: use that source.list instead?
[02:51] <Jack_Sparrow> StevenX see what I did...
[02:51] <scunizi> flugh, that really depends on which driver you're using and what card you have..  I'm using the 177 driver and have a nvidia 8200 on the motherboard and it's performance is REALLY slow..
[02:51] <flugh> i tried turning the eye candy off, still seems to happen. not a problem, just... annoying i guess. hate not knowing WHY :)
[02:51] <StevenX> Jack_Sparrow: thanks. internet slow, but will check what you did.
[02:51] <Jack_Sparrow> alp_ are the networks unencrypted and open?
[02:51] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[02:51] <scunizi> flugh, what card do you have?
[02:52] <flugh> i have 177 with my 7950 MX (notebook chip), it's fast enough, just flickering once / 20 secs or so
[02:52] <alp_> Jack_Sparrow: I am using WEP
[02:52] <flugh> piddling with the nvidia settings, trying vblank and all. maybe that's it
[02:52] <UnrealClock> I generally dislike asking question after question, but I've had this problem before, and have since forgotten the fix. How does one get all these Audio programs to play sound. Videos and the internet seem to do quite fine, but once I pop Audacity open or anything of the sort it goes silent.
[02:52] <Jack_Sparrow> alp_ try it without wep
[02:52] <scunizi> flugh, I haven't tried it yet but maybe the new 180 driver might fix some of that.
[02:52] <mike> hi
[02:53] <Guest74710> Anyone here know if a nVidia 9800GT works well in Ubuntu 8.10?
[02:53] <gatewaydrug> so, i updated yesterday to 8.10 and now my printer doesnt work... how do I go back to the LTR version... its not an option during the boot sequence
[02:53] <scunizi> flugh, It's still beta though.. you have to get it directly from nvidia's site
[02:53] <flugh> i'll check it out, thanks.
[02:53] <Guest74710> msg nickserv
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> gatewaydrug when was your last backup
[02:53] <scunizi> flugh, there's also a section on nvidia's site that talks about performance issues.. and how to solve some of them.
[02:54] <gatewaydrug> sadly, i dont remember, this isnt my box, its my fathers
[02:54] <scunizi> gatewaydrug, why not just reinstall the print driver?
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> gatewaydrug is it a brother or lexmark something?
[02:55] <alp_> Jack_Sparrow: I turned off WEP but I still can't get any scan results
[02:55] <gatewaydrug> the printer works fine
[02:55] <gatewaydrug> it just doesnt print legal paper
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> sorry, no answers for you on that.
[02:55] <gatewaydrug> and thats what its mostly used for
[02:55] <scunizi> alp_, do you have more than one wireless manager installed?  if so eliminate all but one.
[02:55] <gatewaydrug> the printer is a MFC 8440, Brother
[02:56] <Jack_Sparrow> gatewaydrug reinstall the driver
[02:56] <gatewaydrug> already did
[02:56] <gatewaydrug> didnt work
[02:56] <alp_> I just have one
[02:56] <scunizi> gatewaydrug, change the printer default in http://localhost:631
[02:56] <tritium> !enter | gatewaydrug
[02:57] <gatewaydrug> already done but in the system>administrator   the default paper is already set to legal

[02:59] <ircdcl> !op | Jacob235
[03:00] <Front_Desk> I plugged my touchscreen in and it just worked. very nice! but it needs callibration.
[03:00] <flugh> scunizi, getting the newer beta driver now, thanks. bookmarking the linux forums for future use
[03:00] <scunizi> gatewaydrug, leaving the current driver installed, install another printer (the same) but give it a different name.. that seems to work sometimes.. if it does delete the old printer.
[03:00] <gatewaydrug> same driver then?
[03:01] <scunizi> flugh, remember you can't install it until you shut gdm down.. so you have to do everything from the terminal..
[03:01] <lat> Would you LAN experts please take a look at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79607/
[03:01] <scunizi> flugh, do you know how to do that
[03:01] <scunizi> ?
[03:01] <gatewaydrug> on it, will report back with result
[03:02] <flugh> gotcha yeah going to fiddle with it now :)
[03:02] <scunizi> cool
[03:02]  * scunizi dating myself again
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> flugh Alt-F1 ... sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new; sudo nvidia-xconfig; sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ... Alt-F7     as an example
[03:02] <Front_Desk> scunizi: try dating others
[03:03] <Jack_Sparrow> cute
[03:03] <StevenX> Jack_Sparrow: I'm still getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79595/
[03:03] <flugh> later all, /wave. great work on 8.10 by the way. it's come a long way since the debian 1.x days, when the 2.0 release party was the place to be
[03:03] <scunizi> Front_Desk, :) never believed in harry palms
[03:03] <scunizi> flugh, working now
[03:03] <scunizi> ?
[03:04] <flugh> will nvidia-glx-new get me a beta version? figured the "packaged" that the script downloaded would be lastest stable/release one. i'm going bleeding edge /flex
[03:04] <Jumblehead> How  do i check a program to see what dependencies fail and what one i need to get ?
[03:05] <scunizi> flugh, Jack_Sparrow ? will  that do it for flugh? for the new driver or is the beta 180 not part of glx-new?
[03:05] <qcjn> hi' my ssh server doesn't work again ?
[03:05] <flugh> i'll give it a shot in a sec and see. /luck
[03:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Build Dependencies: Most of the time you can install most build dependencies as in this example: sudo apt-get build-dep xvidcap , that will install all the -dev packages that the xvidcap package says it needs to compile
[03:06] <gatewaydrug> ok... that didnt work... the problem is still the same
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> scunizi I was just giving an example of stopping gdm etc.. it was not meant to be cut and pated
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> ste
[03:06] <scunizi> Jack_Sparrow, got it .. thanks.

[03:07] <evolve_> hey guys, would it be possible to use a cron job to start up my computer if it is off?
[03:07] <Jack_Sparrow> evolve_ do you really want an answer
[03:07] <jrib> evolve_: not on the computer that is off, no
[03:07] <Ctee|Linux> need help, if someone want, come in private, too long to explain here
[03:07] <jadams> I've had ubuntu running for some time on a sata drive.  I just installed a pata drive (first one in this system).  It's set to master, powered, plugged in correctly, recognized in the bios, etc.  However, I have no /dev/hd*.  What am I doing wrong?
[03:08] <scunizi> Ctee|Linux, use pastebin to explain and post here for anyone to look and answer
[03:08] <nathan_> could someone tell me the synaptic to get flash player on hardy?
[03:08] <Ctee|Linux> How can i install a .x86.bin program?
[03:08] <jrib> nathan_: install the flashplugin-nonfree package
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash
[03:08] <jrib> Ctee|Linux: what are you trying to install exactly?
[03:09] <scunizi> Ctee|Linux, sudo sh <filename.bin>
[03:09] <evolve_> jadams: are you using grub?
[03:09] <scunizi> Ctee|Linux, sorry suto sh ./<filename.bin>
[03:09] <Ctee|Linux> suto?
[03:09] <scunizi> sudo
[03:09] <jadams> evolve_, yes I am.  But the windows installation media (just for counterstrike) couldn't use the disk either
[03:09] <Ctee|Linux> Kk i'll try it
[03:09] <jadams> I don't know what's up
[03:09] <scunizi> my bad
[03:09] <Ctee|Linux> In consoel?
[03:09] <jrib> Ctee|Linux: did you see my question?
[03:09] <scunizi> Ctee|Linux, yes

[03:09] <Tyger> Hi all. I installed Ubuntu on a Mac OSX system using VirtualBox.  Upon loading, it says it can only load in low resolution mode. Can anyone tell me how to fix that?
[03:09] <evolve_> jadams: did you attempt to rewrite the master boot record?
[03:10] <evolve_> jadams: or you see nothing at all?
[03:10] <jadams> everyone_, no, nothing
[03:10] <scunizi> Ctee|Linux, you might look at www.getdeb.net for a deb of it.
[03:10] <jadams> forget it, thanks for the help
[03:10] <scunizi> Ctee|Linux, or playdeb.net
[03:10] <yuri> hi guys I have a weird wifi issue. I have tried 2 different wifi adapters and they both pick up wireless netwroks, yet when i connect to them it automatically says connected to "none" and I have 0bars of reception... any idea? the internal one is a broadcom and i used the built in fwcutter in 8.04. the other is a RA chipset i believe and it is open sourced
[03:11] <Ctee|Linux> deb?
[03:11] <Ctee|Linux> scunizi,  A deb?
[03:11] <evolve_> yuri: did you restart the computer post intallation?
[03:11] <yuri> evolve_: several times
[03:11] <scunizi> Ctee|Linux, deb is the file that is installable in debian and ubuntu.. amoung others.. it's like an exe of sorts..
[03:12] <yuri> it worked after the first restart, then I updated the system and the next restart screwed it all up
[03:12] <Tyger> Did anyone see my issue above?
[03:12] <scunizi> Ctee|Linux, deb is the extension.. <file_name.deb>
[03:12] <Ctee|Linux> scunizi, Ok i'll test it since what Jrib said didnt worke
[03:12] <askvictor> I have two NICs - one connected to a router, which connects to the internet, the other connected to another computer. How can I get the middle computer to act as a router? I don't think I need NAT/masq - I just need to forward packets, no?
[03:13] <Ctee|Linux> scunizi, Mine is a .bin not a .deb
[03:13] <evolve_> yuri: what chipset are you running?
[03:13] <scunizi> Ctee|Linux, a bin typically is installed with " sudo sh ./<filename.bin>
[03:14] <evolve_> yuri: lspci to find out
[03:14] <scunizi> no quotes (")
[03:14] <jon5000> Hello.  Trying to install... have a q. about partitioning my disks for a dual boot setup with vista (already loaded).  Just got to the last line of the instruction for this section and it said to make sure that the windows partition has a mount point.  it doesnt.  in order to make it so, I have to enter the dialogue box and "change" that partition to  ntfs (which it already is) in order to enable myself to create this mount poin
[03:14] <yuri> evolve_: broadcom
[03:14] <Ctee|Linux> scunizi, "Can't open ./Planeshift
[03:14] <Ctee|Linux> scunizi, "Can't open ./PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin"
[03:14] <evolve_> yuri: read this then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Ctee|Linux chmod +x planeshift and then ./planeshift
[03:15] <Tyger> Hi all. I installed Ubuntu on a Mac OSX system using VirtualBox.  Upon loading, it says it can only load in low resolution mode. Can anyone tell me how to fix that?
[03:15] <funkja> What is a good channel to ask random non-language specfic programming questions in?
[03:15] <gatewaydrug> setting up my broadcom card took ages... im sending good karma your way
[03:15] <evilbug> how can i enable samba on my machine (xubuntu 8.10) so that i can transfer files between computers on my network?
[03:15] <Ctee|Linux> Jack_Sparrow, X.x Got nothing out of what you've said
[03:15] <kindofabuzz> is it possible to have shade window without emerald?
[03:15] <scunizi> Ctee|Linux, syntax is everything.. caps, small characters etc.. you have to do it right.. sudo sh ./PlaneShift etc.etc.etc.
[03:16] <gatewaydrug> so... anybody has any new ideas for my printer... i tried installing the driver again and nothing has changed
[03:16] <ircdcl> any Emacs gurus here? pm me please since its off-topic, just a got a couple noob questions :)
[03:16] <scunizi> Ctee|Linux, Jack_Sparrow may have the answer.. see above
[03:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Ctee|Linux You have been given all you need several times and there is a howto readme on the site where you got that file.  Following tose instructions would be a good start
[03:16] <yuri> evolve_: there is no documentation on 8.10... it worked fine in 8.04
[03:17] <Ctee|Linux> Jack_Sparrow, Ok thanks
[03:17] <jon5000> anybody?
[03:17] <qcjn> gnutron: still having problem with ssh ? :(
[03:17] <mei> não estou entendendo não!
[03:17] <Jack_Sparrow> jon5000 skip that and we can add in the mount later.. better than making a mistake now
[03:18] <jon5000> ok
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> jon5000 hope that made sense
[03:18] <mei> eu sou brasileiro
[03:18] <mei> from brasil

[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !br
[03:19] <scunizi> Jack_Sparrow, that's what I was looking for.
[03:19] <jon5000> yeah.  as long as we can add it later.  i didnt understand why the instruction was asking for that.
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> scunizi what was?
[03:19] <robb_m> scunizi, Jack_Sparrow knows ubot quite well ;)
[03:19] <mei> como que faz?

[03:20] <gatewaydrug> anybody else has had trouble printing legal documents
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Jumblehead did you look at my instructions from earlier and do you get any errors
[03:20] <kindofabuzz> should i be using c99-gcc to compile?
[03:21] <Jumblehead> could we go over that again im legally blind ( and stupid)
[03:21] <scunizi> gatewaydrug, I typically have to change it in the driver setup first then when I print I "file/print" change to legal (again) and print
[03:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Jumblehead  just pm'd it
[03:21] <vraa_> hey guys, i am having an issue with apt-get upgrade -> http://pastebin.com/m371d2b70 (i am using ssh to a remote machine)
[03:22] <gatewaydrug> but i changed it both in the printer settings and double checked that OO was also set for legal, and still not working
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Jumblehead is sauerb on your desktop
[03:22] <jrib> vraa_: gzip: stdout: No space left on device
[03:22] <Jumblehead> oh when i try to add those lib..... they  said i would have to remove others is that ok jack?
[03:22] <Jumblehead> ]\
[03:22] <vraa_> jrib: i checked my free space though, i have plenty of free space
[03:22] <Jumblehead> yes jack
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Jumblehead try it without those first
[03:22] <jrib> vraa_: in /boot?  Are you sure?
[03:22] <vraa_> how would i check free space through command line?
[03:22] <tritium> vraa_: df -h
[03:23] <vraa_> i will double check /boot, i just realized in linux there are seperate partitions for everything
[03:23] <jrib> vraa_: not by default
[03:23] <vraa_> yes, /boot is full, you're a genius
[03:23] <jrib> on ubuntu anyway
[03:23] <vraa_> well i think i did them seperate because i was learning how to do raid
[03:23] <Pretto> mei, digita /j #ubuntu-br
[03:24] <jordan_> I just installed apache2 used all defaults and there is no /usr/local/apache2 directory
[03:24] <bdizzle> so I was wondering if other than KDE, GNOME, and X, along with Aqua and Win32, are there any other desktop interfaces to play around with?
[03:24] <scunizi> jordan_, check /var/www
[03:24] <godgryphon> Hey, I was wondering if there is an active voice changer for linux, so when I talk into the microphone is changes the pitch on the fly.
[03:24] <Jumblehead> jack... im a total newbie i tried puutin in chmod +x sauerbraten_unix no file directory was found.. i installed sauerbraten from synaptic package
[03:25] <vraa> sorry i got disconnected
[03:25]  * scunizi then says.. eye'll b baack
[03:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Jumblehead how did you try to run it
[03:25] <miisterg> hi
[03:25] <vraa> okay so what's the various things i can do to fix the full /boot safely
[03:25] <vraa> i guess i could remove older kernels that are there right?
[03:25] <jschall> when i set up a shared directory and try to access it, it pops up a password prompt and won't accept any passwords. why is this?
[03:26] <scunizi> vraa, that would be a good thing
[03:26] <jordan_> scunizi there is a /var/www what about it
[03:26] <mei> como que chego em ubuntu-br
[03:26] <vraa> scunizi: removing older kernels is a good thing... right?
[03:26] <miisterg> im trying to share my internet connection over a secondary NIC. how do i set it to share the connection from eth1 over eth0?
[03:26] <wozzy> http://EXgirl007.myhotpicss.com/?id=230bcd96 HOTTEST GIRL YOULL EVER SEE
[03:26] <Jumblehead> it installed launcher  in my games folder.. applications/games/sauerbraten
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> miisterg read up on firestarter
[03:27] <scunizi> jordan_, with apache installed then it creates a /var/www so maybe you're looking in the wrong place for the config files.. sudo updatedb then locate apache
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Jumblehead have you opened terminal and tried to execute it
[03:27] <Pretto> mei, digita /j #ubuntu-br
[03:27] <scunizi> mei, digita /join #ubuntu-br
[03:28] <Jumblehead> Jack_Sparrow, i put this in termina /usr/games/sauerbratenl and it doesnt work but gives me an error
[03:28] <vraa> "sudo apt-get autoremove" removes old kernels :)
[03:28] <qcjn> how com my ssh don't work, even if it,s started,and vnc works iaming at the same adress?
[03:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Jumblehead try in term typing sauerbratten
[03:29] <jschall> when i don't check "guest access" in the file sharing menu, what is the password to the share?
[03:29] <Jumblehead> dont know what that means
[03:29] <huy_> i'm running 8.10, and i have a 800x600 resolution, but i know my computer can support more than that. help?
[03:29] <Hax_Man> ...stupid... XChat gnome...
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Jumblehead go to terminal.. cd applications/games
[03:30] <scunizi> vraa, didn't for me.. but did find something else that need removing.
[03:30] <mei> digita onde?
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Jumblehead path may very for you
[03:30] <gatewaydrug> so nobody here has a brother printer?
[03:30] <vraa> i just tried "sudo apt-get clean"
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> mei English only please
[03:30] <jrib> !x > huy_
[03:31] <scunizi> Jack_Sparrow, we're trying to help him sign into the portugese channel.. I think he might not be using a typical irc client
[03:31] <mei> não sei inglês e agora
[03:31] <Jack_Sparrow> scunizi if he can get here.. he can get there..
[03:31] <mei> to excluido?
[03:31] <scunizi> Jack_Sparrow, maybe.. unless he's using something like pidgin
[03:31] <ircdcl> what Jack_Sparrow said.
[03:31] <huy_> thanks
[03:32] <mei> primeira vez que entro nessa sala
[03:32] <Jumblehead> ok Jack , you want me to type in anoter path with the cd infront of it?
[03:32] <snarkster> if i hit ctrl-f1 i get a black screen with flashing characters at top.. how can i change virtual terminals settings?
[03:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Jumblehead manually browse to the folder or use gksudo nautilus to do it
[03:33] <scunizi> snarkster, have you tried ctrl+alt+f2.. sometimes f1 is used
[03:33] <snarkster> yah its the same
[03:33] <ircdcl> Any Emacs gurus availble for a couple noob questions, pm me please since it's off-topic ty.

[03:34] <qb|away> You've told me that before
[03:34] <Jumblehead> under user/games/sauerbraten all launchers work except for sauerbraten
[03:34] <gnutron> qcjn: is vnc listening on port 22, if so the ssh server cannot bind to the same port.
[03:34] <qb|away> I don't see what is noisy about a nick change.
[03:34] <jrib> qb|away: it's the rules here
[03:34] <ayeo> hi all
[03:35] <scunizi> gnutron, usually 5900 I think
[03:35] <qb|away> rules? nick changes forbidden?
[03:35] <ayeo> how to make xchat to use port 6667?
[03:35] <hotte-> which linux-backports-modules i need for ubuntu intrepid?
[03:35] <qcjn> gnutron: i ll look, but i don't think so
[03:35] <scunizi> qb|away, just the away message
[03:35] <jrib> qb|away: it's not up for debate in this channel.  #ubuntu-ops if you wish
[03:35] <qb|away> what away message?
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Jumblehead do you see any error
[03:35] <qb|away> I don't have an away message as far as I know
[03:36] <gnutron> qcjn: i wouldn't think vnc would use 22, but i can't understand why you're having troubles with ssh.
[03:36] <RippleMaster> in other words "we can debate but you can't"
[03:36] <scunizi> qb|away, sorry.. I re-looked and it was just a nick change
[03:36]  * RippleMaster smachs justice in the face
[03:36] <qb|away> ok, np :)
[03:36] <RippleMaster> or, rather, smacks :P

[03:36] <warz> hey all. where does apache2 install it's config files at on ubuntu, via apt-get?
[03:37] <hotte-> i need help: how to install linux-backports-modules
[03:37] <gnutron> warz: /etc/apache2  or /etc/apache
[03:37] <jrib> warz: /etc/apache2/
[03:37] <\Kira> Are there any good linux games that arnt FPS? I hate Computer FPS's, they always lag like hell :(
[03:37] <jb_in_nyc_> hi gang. Does anyone know how to uninstall Dropbox?
[03:37] <RippleMaster> the sarcasm and face indicate joking.. however... i have no reason to be here at the moment. Adios.
[03:37] <qcjn> gnutron: to start it a gotta mke sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start     right ?
[03:37] <warz> i always liked played the old quake arena on linux :P
[03:37] <gnutron> qcjn: correct
[03:38] <\Kira> warz: isnt that a FPS, though?
[03:38] <warz> well, yea... it is :P
[03:38] <qcjn> gnutron: i've looked on the rooter, the only thing i see forwarded on port 22 is ssh
[03:38] <\Kira> warz: I should look that game up, though. I've heard alot about it, but never seen any game footage
[03:38] <node357> if you like quake 3, check out nexuiz
[03:38] <warz> it's pretty old, but iirc, it's open source and me and a buddy used to mess around with it
[03:38] <vraa> "sudo rm /boot/*.bak" thats what i ran and it fixed my /boot issues
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> \Kira look into world of padman or frozen bubble .. there are lots of fun games..
[03:39] <warz> it's fast paced and fun with friends.
[03:39] <qcjn> gnutron: how can i look in the computer if something else works on port 22, i'd be surprise
[03:39] <dekkong> llo I have some NTFTFS partitions and they wont get auto mounted when I start ubuntu. How can I get them to be auto mounted?
[03:39] <scunizi> \Kira, check out getdeb.net and playdeb.net
[03:39] <\Kira> Jack_Sparrow: padman a FPS, which means Lag :(. I've heard of frozen bubble, it is multiplayer?
[03:39] <dekkong> damn keyboard :P
[03:39] <warz> Kira, there was another interesting game i used to want to play called Defcon
[03:40] <warz> it looks fun on a lan, or something
[03:40] <Jack_Sparrow> \Kira no lag on padman for me.. but ok.. frozen bubble is cute single player game
[03:40] <jordan_> http://localhost/var/www/   so is this how i test is my apache server is working?
[03:40] <\Kira> scunizi: I know of those sites, I was just asking for opinions from people. Ive already looked alot into linux gaming, and it seems to be mostly based around laggy FPS
[03:40] <scunizi> jordan_, just http://localhost
[03:40] <warz> jordan, i believe /var/www/ is just the path to the html
[03:40] <warz> not the url
[03:40] <gnutron> qcjn: your box is working  on your ip, i checked ssh server is responding
[03:41] <Jumblehead> where are .exe located?
[03:41] <\Kira> warz: I installed sauerbraten on a bunch of accounts at my school, helps me pass time in marketing XD
[03:41] <scunizi> jordan_, or if there are other servers installed http://localhost:80
[03:41] <Jumblehead> typically
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> \Kira It is up to you but this is support not gaming discussions and polls
[03:41] <jaakkome> How can I change the resolution my login manager is using? (on xubuntu)
[03:41] <scunizi> Jumblehead, there are no .exe's in linux
[03:41] <\Kira> Jack_Sparrow: Ill try out world of padman, thanks for the input
[03:41] <Jumblehead> ahh i think the launcher in the gmaes menu gave me a sdead link
[03:41] <jordan_> wee! localhost worked
[03:41] <warz> nice. we used to have Unreal Tournament on several computer at school back in the day
[03:41] <winston_> hi, whenever i boot up in ubuntu 8.10 my hostname is the default deskotp-local.local (or whatever it is - i forgot!)
[03:41] <\Kira> Jack_Sparrow: and sorry, I guess I should have picked a better place to ask
[03:41] <Jumblehead> non existing one does this happen?
[03:41] <sigterm> yarr!
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !games
[03:42] <gnutron> warz: /var/www is doc root    /etc/apache2 is server root. you need to edit the httpd.conf and ubuntu uses a different name for the file.
[03:42] <\Kira> sweet :D
[03:42] <\Kira> thanks
[03:42] <winston_> anyways, when i relogin it is fixed, also i know the host changes when i login first because i can't launch any apps
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:43] <gnutron> qcjn: whats the error you get trying to ssh to the host
[03:43] <nathan_> how can i get my ge force fx 550 graphics card to wrk?
[03:43] <niriven> Will my 32-bit software run on 64-bit gentoo? Is 64-bit gentoo still as much as a hassle as it was before? :)
[03:43] <scunizi> niriven, this isn't a gentoo channel..
[03:44] <biouser> why does www.ekiga.net have a self-signed ssl certificate?
[03:44] <qcjn> gnutron: excuse me, when it asked for password, i enter it and it does nt work, looks like the same problem as last time
[03:44] <niriven> Oops. gentoo/*ubuntu
[03:44] <sigterm> biouser, maybe the paying thawte or someone for a cert was beneath them
[03:44]  * sigterm shrugs
[03:44] <NotADJ> When did Python 2.6 come, and why isn't in the repos.
[03:45] <snarkster> if your virtual terminal is all jacked up but still works.. just do tput reset tput init stty sane
[03:45] <niriven> NotADJ, Because its the bridge between 2.5.x and 3.0?
[03:45] <NotADJ> Oh noes!
[03:45] <NotADJ> :P
[03:45] <NotADJ> niriven: Alright, thank you
[03:45] <NotADJ> :D
[03:45] <vraa> how... um, do i use denyhosts? i just did "sudo apt-get install denyhosts"
[03:46] <qcjn> gnutron: i enter the user@localadress but that doesn't seems to be the error
[03:46] <gnutron> qcjn: does the login username exist in /etc/passwd?
[03:46] <niriven> NotADJ, I think its supposed to be used more for checking to see if your code willw ork on 3.0 (completely differnt), 3.0 will break code, 2.6 will allow you to migrate easier.
[03:46] <jordan_> Can i put cgi scripts in /var/www
[03:46] <niriven> NotADJ, All an assumption though :)
[03:46] <qcjn> gnutron: i ll go and check
[03:47] <gnutron> qcjn: you must login using a valid username
[03:47] <dekkong> Hello guys! I have some NTFS partitions how can I get these to automount themselves?

[03:48] <nathan_> how can i get my ge force fx 550 graphics card to wrk?
[03:48] <winston_> did you try drivers nathan?
[03:48] <niriven> nathan42100, Install nvidia-legacy drivers?
[03:48] <scunizi> nathan_, see above ^--^
[03:48] <heymynameisfred> any db admins?
[03:48] <warz> is there a way to make ls sort by 'type'? basically just listing directories before non-directories
[03:48] <nathan_> were do i get them grom?
[03:48] <nathan_> from
[03:49] <niriven> nathan42100, The repository

[03:49] <gatewaydrug> so to go back to the last LTR from the 8.10, how do I go about it?
[03:49] <winston_> warz: man ls
[03:49] <qcjn> gnutron: it's the same username as always, the same i use in vnc
[03:50] <winston_> and try ls -r (or maybe its ls -R)
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> gatewaydrug not without a backup
[03:50] <heymynameisfred> wondering if anyone has an opinion on mysql vs postgresql
[03:50] <winston_> i wish!
[03:50] <winston_> i should look into that
[03:50] <gatewaydrug> not as easy going back as it is going foward jack?
[03:50] <qcjn> gnutron: i see something in the passwd file, the last line sshd something
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> gatewaydrug you could save /home to somewhere then stamp it back on your fresh install
[03:50] <scunizi> heymynameisfred, there's lot of discussion about that by googling
[03:50] <gnutron> qcjn: grep username /etc/passwd   if it's not there, it won't let you in.
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> gatewaydrug no going back without a backup

[03:51] <heymynameisfred> basically, i inherited an old school icobol isam db that i use odbc to pull data out of
[03:51] <gatewaydrug> argh
[03:51] <heymynameisfred> thats the other part i was typing out
[03:51] <heymynameisfred> sorry
[03:51] <heymynameisfred> ive read the debates between my and post
[03:51] <gnutron> qcjn: you dont login as sshd
[03:51] <heymynameisfred> im leaning towards post, but none of the discussion really cover what im trying to do--more web based stuff
[03:52] <russ5811> i just inserted an SD card which i have used many times. its formatted ext3 (just did it w/ partition manager) however, when i attempt to save a file on it, it says I don't have access. it won't let me change permissions either. any suggestions?
[03:52] <nathan_> cant find nvidea legacy drvers? please help
[03:52] <gnutron> qcjn: login with the same name as your /home/username directory.
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> russ5811 First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and type cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition  (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow>  the permissions are set
[03:53] <gnutron> qcjn: ssh -l user ip
[03:53] <Coded1> how do I change the server apt-get is using for packages?  the server I'm 'stuck' with is giving me ~ 20kb/s
[03:53] <Coded1> ?
[03:53] <qcjn> gnutron: ok
[03:53] <russ5811> k. i'll give it a shot.. thanks.
[03:53] <nathan_> cant find nvidea legacy drvers? please help
[03:53] <scunizi> nvidia-glx-legacy nathan_ .. just looked it up in Synaptic
[03:54] <winston_> nathan_ open terminal do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy
[03:54] <scunizi> nathan_, click the search button and type in nvidia.. there will be lots of things.. just scroll to the nvidia section and you'll see it.
[03:54] <Coded1> is there a command line method of selecting a server or a conf file?
[03:54] <Shoopuf> If I download the newest package from this source [ https://launchpad.net/~nijel/+archive/ ] for phpMyAdmin, do I/should I remove the old phpMyAdmin first? I'm using 2.11.3deb1ubuntu1.1...
[03:55] <nathan_> found it now wich ones do i download? all?
[03:55] <Shoopuf> i think I'm using Gutsy server
[03:55] <winston_> Coded1 - all the configurations are in the /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:56] <Jumblehead> anybody know command are exact instruction on how to get pas this error..Major opcode of failed request:  135 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)

[03:56] <russ5811> jack_sparrow, i can't cd to the sd card (it is mounted)
[03:56] <scunizi> nathan_, no just the legacy one
[03:56] <winston_> russ5811 - how did youo mount it
[03:56] <Coded1> winston_; ty
[03:56] <russ5811> plugged it in. then i formatted it. then i went to computer, right click, mount
[03:57] <winston_> np, coded1 make sure you backup that file
[03:57] <scunizi> nathan_, also have you looked at system>admin>hardware drivers? might already be listed there.
[03:57] <qcjn> gnutron: http://qcjn.pastebin.ca/1274568
[03:57] <nathan_> thanks
[03:57] <gnutron> qcjn: have you re-installed ssh server

[03:58] <gnutron> qcjn: the key verification failed if youre sure you know why, then rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts
[03:59] <russ5811> did you get that, winston?
[03:59] <Coded1> anyone know of a program that will benchmark my machine?
[03:59] <Coded1> or recommend one?
[03:59] <gnutron> qcjn: rm the file on the box you are ssh'ing from, not the server.
[03:59] <Shoopuf> I am running Ubuntu Hardy LTS... I downloaded phpMyAdmin 2.11.3 through the default apt-get... But I found this website [ https://launchpad.net/~nijel/+archive/ ] and it has version 3.0. Can I just install this guys sources.list and download the package, or should I uninstall the old phpMyAdmin first? I don't want to lose my settings, but I want to ugprade to 3.0
[03:59] <Jumblehead> Major opcode of failed request:  135 (XFree86-VidModeExtension) any help plz?

[04:00] <blackvd> Is there anyway to convert an external HDD from ntfs to ext without loosing data?
[04:00] <scunizi> Shoopuf, upgrading from outside sources might break your system
[04:00] <qcjn> gnutron: yes i did...i've just made an upgrade..remember last time, after an upgrade it did the same thing...~/.ssh/known_hosts & and this tells me something
[04:00] <scunizi> blackvd, nope.. it involves formattin
[04:00] <Shoopuf> scunizi: Shoot... The version of phpMyAdmin I have is so old!
[04:00] <scunizi> *formatting
[04:00] <xingjiu1> see  you night
[04:00] <nathan_> how do i get desktop effects to work?
[04:01] <scunizi> nathan_, did you get the driver enabled?
[04:01] <gnutron> qcjn: ok, just rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts  the try  again, accept the key and login.
[04:01] <blackvd> scunizi, of course, stupid driver keeps getting corrupt and i dont have a windows machine to fix it with.
[04:01] <leohartx> how do i install zsnes emulator in my ubuntu 8.10 64 bit ( i used Add/Remove... but after installation, zsnes did not work)
[04:01] <qcjn> gnutron: ok
[04:01] <blackvd> *driver=drive
[04:01] <winston_> hey russ still there?
[04:01] <nathan_> pretty sure
[04:01] <russ5811> here winston
[04:01] <scunizi> nathan_, open a terminal and type glxgears.. do you see anything?
[04:01] <winston_> mount | grep '/dev/'sd[b-g]
[04:01] <winston_> do that
[04:02] <Meshezabeel> my synaptic seems to have different third party sources than my sources.list, any ideas how that is possible? I thought synaptic took its info from sources.list?
[04:02] <winston_> tell me the output
[04:02] <russ5811> exactly like that?
[04:02] <nathan_> were is the terminal
[04:02] <russ5811> nathan, accessories
[04:02] <scunizi> nathan_, Applications>accessories
[04:02] <Coded1> I guess it would help that I'm not using X, so if anyone knows of a text based benchmark app it would be great
[04:02] <winston_> nathan - applications -> acessories -> terminal
[04:02] <Shoopuf> So is there a way for me to get the latest phpMyAdmin 3.0 for Ubuntu Hardy without using an "outside source" ?? Can I sneak it in from, like, an Ibex repository? (not sure how this works)
[04:02] <Coded1> :)
[04:03] <winston_> Coded, you were just in X though
[04:03] <winston_> er nvrmind
[04:03] <jordan_> ok so I installed the apache2, and libapache2-mod-perl2.  I have found out the doc root is at /var/www/ and server root is /etc/apache2.   Now I can sudo apache2ctl -k start and the http://localhost/ and it will give me the index.html file in /var/www/ but if i try to run cust.pl it asks me if i want to save the file
[04:03] <winston_> yeah russ
[04:03] <winston_> just like that
[04:03] <leohartx> how do i install zsnes emulator in my ubuntu 8.10 64 bit ( i used Add/Remove... but after installation, zsnes did not work)
[04:03] <nathan_> yes i see gears
[04:03] <qcjn> gnutron: i ve removed the "rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts" ssh'ing from, not the server
[04:04] <winston_> nathan_ do glxinfo | grep direct
[04:04] <qcjn> gnutron: don't work
[04:04] <winston_> tell me if its a yes or no
[04:04] <qcjn> gnutron: should i try the server
[04:04] <Coded1> winston_; nope I just wanted to know how to change to a better server for apt-get
[04:04] <newfeats> hah
[04:04] <newfeats> ?
[04:04] <jordan_> I guess i need to set to addhandler cgi-script .pl?
[04:04] <gnutron> qcjn: it should work from the LAN or WAN now.
[04:04] <nathan_> no clue you lost me there!
[04:04] <newfeats> hahhaha
[04:04] <winston_> Coded1, where are you located
[04:04] <russ5811> winston, here's the output     /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
[04:05] <scunizi> nathan_, good you're almost there.. close the gears window and do what winston_ said.. glxinfo | grep direct
[04:05] <Coded1> I have the server version of X; trying to set up some apps and its slow as heck; toronto canada
[04:05] <Coded1> :)
[04:05] <warz> where should i place soft links for global command usage at? /bin/ ?
[04:05] <winston_> in terminal
[04:05] <scunizi> nathan_, type that in the terminal
[04:05] <winston_> warz, it depends
[04:06] <orph17> let's go Ubuntu, let's go!
[04:06] <winston_> /usr/local/bin might be a better path
[04:06] <winston_> or /usr/bin
[04:06] <warz> hm.
[04:06] <qcjn> gnutron: took off that file, and it don,t work, lan or wan adress
[04:06] <nathan_> no
[04:07] <warz> doesn't look like /usr/local/bin does anything on ubuntu? thats where i had it
[04:07] <warz> but it didn't seem to work there
[04:07] <Coded1> the sources.list gives me a ca.*.* repo but its very slow, I d/l the 600mb iso @ 800-950kbs
[04:07] <gnutron> qcjn: let me try, one sec
[04:07] <russ5811> winston, did you see the output?
[04:07] <winston_> warz do this:  $PATH | grep '/usr/local/bin'
[04:07] <scunizi> nathan_, were you able to enable the restricted drivers in system>admin>hardware drivers?
[04:07] <qcjn> gnutron: remember what zsq....  proposed, you know it worked after
[04:07] <winston_> nevermind lol
[04:07] <winston_> oops
[04:07] <gnutron> qcjn: it's answering just fine on your internet address.
[04:07] <Ctee|Linux> How do i setup my permission on the thing i just installed?
[04:08] <winston_> Ctee|Linux - man chmod
[04:08] <aussie_nutt> hehehe
[04:08] <winston_> what permission settings do you want?
[04:08] <nathan_> doing it now
[04:08] <qcjn> gnutron: zsquareplusc proposed something, and that did it, if i remember well
[04:08] <Shoopuf> Anybody know if the phpMyAdmin outside repository here [ https://launchpad.net/~nijel/+archive/ ] is safe to use in Hardy LTS? I am thinking of downloading it, but nut sure if I should remove my old phpMyAdmin first or not
[04:09] <Coded1> its ca.archive.ubuntu.com thats listed with various subfolders the ping is approx 40ms but I can only get 20kbs if I'm lucky
[04:09] <nathan_> sweetnes thanks allot everyone
[04:09] <gnutron> qcjn: ssh -l name host    name must exist in /etc/passwd exactly.
[04:09] <winston_> warez, if /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH then it will exec from terminal
[04:09] <scunizi> nathan_, got them going?  your next question will probably be how to get the cube working....
[04:09] <winston_> by default it is
[04:10] <gnutron> qcjn: login name must exist on the server, that is.
[04:10] <Flannel> Shoopuf: What's wrong with the one in the repository?
[04:10] <qcjn> gnutron: must i add it or something
[04:10] <jordan_> Ok now i find /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ and i put my .pl in there and i try http://localhost/cgi-bin/c.pl and it says The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
[04:10] <russ5811> winston_, did you get that ouput i posted?
[04:10] <Shoopuf> Flannel: The one in the repository is like version 2.11, but this guys sources.list has the latest (recommended) version 3.1
[04:10] <Ctee|Linux> winston_, i do man -chmod /filename ?
[04:10] <gnutron> qcjn: you have an account on the server already dont you? use that account name
[04:11] <Shoopuf> Flannel: I am using Hardy LTS, and I think I am using an old repository, not sure how to look in the new one, I am guessing Ibex has a new version of phpMyAdmin
[04:11] <lvlefisto> Is anyone having problems after updating to linux kernel 2.6.27-9? I am having problems with pidgin.
[04:11] <winston_> Ctee - man is the program that is used to look up documentation
[04:11] <gnutron> qcjn: unless your ISP is blocking, but its not blocking me.
[04:11] <Flannel> Shoopuf: you can browse at packages.ubuntu.com
[04:11] <winston_> man chmod - just opens the manual page for chmod
[04:12] <mikeh789> a have a question about gnome panels...
[04:12] <winston_> mikeh789 please ask
[04:12] <Flannel> winston_: Please be helpful when helping
[04:12] <qcjn> gnutron: that's what i do  "ssh serverusername@local or wan adress" both don't work, fails at the password
[04:12] <Flannel> Ctee|Linux: you mean you now have a new harddrive? or what?
[04:12] <winston_> Flannel - sorry, i wasn't very accurate
[04:12] <mikeh789> thanks,, I want to maximize windows above the panel..
[04:13] <Flannel> Ctee|Linux: Ah, planeshift.   What permissions do you need to set?
[04:13] <mikeh789> but not use auto-hide
[04:13] <jordan_> Do i need to AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl in apache.conf or httpd.conf?
[04:13] <gnutron> qcjn: use ssh -l username ip-address   the numeric ip.
[04:13] <qcjn> gnutron: ive deleted the hos file on the client side
[04:13] <Ctee|Linux> Flannel, I just installed a game (Planeshift) and it says that i don't have the permission to run it.... and i installed it widely
[04:13] <qcjn> ok
[04:13] <gnutron> qcjn: you cannot delete  that file
[04:13] <Shoopuf> Flannel: OK I found phpmyadmin in the intrepid packages... http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/phpmyadmin ... How to get this and uninstall my old one?
[04:13] <qcjn> gnutron: i did
[04:14] <gnutron> qcjn: you'll lose internet with no /etc/hosts
[04:14] <winston_> russ - sorry about that i get distracted...
[04:14] <russ5811> i am unable to cd to an SD card and it is preventing me from saving files to it. here's the command i put in: mount | grep '/dev/'sd[b-g] and here's the output from said command: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
[04:14] <winston_> did you solve your issue?
[04:14] <Flannel> Shoopuf: you shouldn't mix packages (intrepid, hardy)
[04:14] <russ5811> no prob
[04:14] <qcjn> gnutron: it's connected, that way
[04:15] <qcjn> gnutron: ssh -l username ip-address
[04:15] <mcarter> hello
[04:15] <Flannel> Ctee|Linux: It's likely that the instructions you were following (I'm sure there's a README somewhere) tells you what to do after you've run the bin file.  Unfortunately, it could be all sorts of things, so someone would have to be familiar with planeshift to know.
[04:15] <qcjn> gnutron: the only difference i see is the -l and no @
[04:15] <Ctee|Linux> Flannel, Ok thanks
[04:15] <mcarter> I'm trying to figure out how to configure my video card in ubuntu 8.10 -- the only video related config screen i can find is 'screen resolution'
[04:15] <scunizi> mcarter, what kind of card?
[04:16] <gnutron> qcjn: so, you've connected to the server via ssh?
[04:16] <winston_> russ you determined you had read/write privledges to the device right?
[04:16] <mcarter> scunizi,  "Out of the box, the graphic card Intel GMA 950, is well detected, ..."
[04:16] <russ5811> i tried to change the permissions but it won't let me. let me tell you exactly what it says..one sec
[04:16] <mcarter> I'm actually just trying to figure out how to see if it was indeed well configured -- i can't find any reference to the graphics card anywhere
[04:17] <qcjn> gnutron: yes it's connected, with the -l and no @ between user and ip
[04:17] <nathan_> how do i get my visual effects to work?
[04:17] <scunizi> mcarter, is the resolution out of wack?
[04:17] <joseph> Okay, n00b question, but how do I boot ubuntu8.10 into command line? I just updated and now the login screen is in a bad frequency range...
[04:17] <qcjn> gnutron: i don't understand why ?
[04:17] <gnutron> qcjn: good, but no hosts file on the client box will cause problems.
[04:17] <mcarter> scunizi, res is fine -- redrawing is *slow* -- how it tends to be whenever my graphics card drivers aren't installed
[04:17] <winston_> joseph - when your machine turns on, press esc when it says grub booting automtaically
[04:17] <russ5811> winston_, it says owner:root create and delete, group: root access files, others: blank, access files
[04:17] <joseph> right, got it there
[04:17] <nathan_> how do i get my visual effects to work? anyone?
[04:18] <mcarter> scunizi, just seeing chat here in xchat has slow repainting sometimes
[04:18] <qcjn> gnutron: so can i retrive it
[04:18] <russ5811> but it doesn't give me the option to change them
[04:18] <winston_> then press e on the ubuntu 8.04 entry, and add a 3 to the end of that line
[04:18] <gnutron> qcjn: not without tools, but its easy to create/edit a new one
[04:18] <winston_> then press enter i think
[04:18] <winston_> and then b on the entry you just edited
[04:19] <nathan_> how do i get my visual effects to work? anyone?
[04:19] <winston_> nathan_ did you get glxinfo | grep direct - to say yes?
[04:19] <gnutron> qcjn: never delete a system file unless you make a backup.
[04:19] <nathan_> yup
[04:19] <scunizi> mcarter, sometimes the cards are not detected or configured correctly.  in a terminal try gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and in the file that opens, in the first paragraph or so, mentions how to reconfigure X .. it will re-detect the card and hopefully configur the correct driver.
[04:19] <joseph> I only have Ubuntu 8.10 lines, but which line do I add it to, kernel or initrd?
[04:19] <joseph> Or root?
[04:19] <itai_michaelson> whats a light weight pdf reader for ubuntu?
[04:19] <Jumblehead> Can someone please help me, i cant get sauerbraten to run.. I downloaded through synaptic package but it wont work i get this X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[04:20] <russ5811> itai, it's pre installed document reader
[04:20] <qcjn> gnutron: now it's working the old way "ssh user@ip"
[04:20] <winston_> joseph, the first line at the very end make sure it has a space before it
[04:20] <Coded1> winston_; changed from ca. to us. and now @ 500+ guess they must be working on the servers over here
[04:20] <winston_> Coded1, congrats!
[04:20] <Coded1> ty
[04:20] <itai_michaelson> russ5811, i did a light weight install so i don't have ubuntu-desktop, do you know the package name?
[04:20] <leohartx>  how do i install zsnes emulator in my ubuntu 8.10 64 bit ( i used Add/Remove... but after installation, zsnes did not work)
[04:21] <winston_> itai_michaelson package name of what?
[04:21] <russ5811> itai, sorry  i don't , but go to add/remove, type in pdf should come up with something
[04:21] <gnutron> qcjn: you must have had conflicting aliases in /etc/hosts i dont know
[04:21] <itai_michaelson> winston_, pdf reader
[04:21] <winston_> leohartx, as far as i know zsnes uses low level machine code for 32 bit
[04:21] <joseph> Bah, either I did it wrong or command line is out of my frequency range...rebooting
[04:21] <joseph> Bah, either I did it wrong or command line is out of my frequency range...rebooting
[04:21] <mcarter> scunizi, is that dexconf?
[04:21] <winston_> itai_michaelson - evince i think
[04:21] <joseph> *slaps self for thedouble entry*
[04:22] <winston_> russ, are you using gnome?
[04:22] <itai_michaelson> winston_, thanks i'll chcek it out
[04:22] <russ5811> yes
[04:22] <scunizi> mcarter, no.. hang on and I'll find it.
[04:22] <mcarter> scunizi, it also mentions: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[04:22] <Jumblehead> Can someone please help me, i cant get sauerbraten to run.. I downloaded through synaptic package but it wont work i get this X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[04:22] <itai_michaelson> winston_, yes it's evince ,apt-getting it now, thanks!
[04:22] <qcjn> gnutron: i've deleted it cause that's what i understood you told me at 23:01...22:01 for you...look
[04:22] <scunizi> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ... mcarter  yep
[04:23] <gnutron> qcjn: /etc/hosts needs atleast this line: 127.0.0.1  localhost
[04:23] <gatewaydrug> ok... so on the imageable area of the test page it says that its 8.5x14 and yet, it cuts the top 3.5in from the top of the page.. anybody has any idea why this is happening
[04:23] <joseph> So the first line should be "root (hd0,0) 3"?
[04:23] <winston_> itai_michaelson - you might want to use synaptic it allows more control over your packages
[04:23] <winston_> just a reccomendatin
[04:23] <winston_> joeph, i mean the line that has your kernel image name on it
[04:23] <qcjn> gnutron: ok, anyway,what do you suggest for me to do ?
[04:23] <itai_michaelson> winston_, thanks but i'm keeping it light....low specs, you see...
[04:23] <russ5811> winston, yes i'm using gnome
[04:23] <mcarter> scunizi, so that isn't interactive, and the xorg.conf it gives me is very short and generic -- not mentioning my graphics card anywhere
[04:23] <scunizi> gatewaydrug, are  you using built in drivers or did you get them from the brother site?
[04:23] <winston_> but i think it works
[04:23] <Shoopuf> OK I added this guy Michal Cihar's repository to my sources.list, but how do i grab the phpmyadmin from it now? :P
[04:23] <Jumblehead> Can someone please help me, i cant get sauerbraten to run.. I downloaded through synaptic package but it wont work i get this X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[04:23] <Shoopuf> i tried sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin, but i think it didnt look in his repository
[04:23] <joseph> Winston, and I want to put it at the end of that line?
[04:24] <scunizi> mcarter, typicall for hardy & ibex.. if you eliminate the -phigh it will be more interactive
[04:24] <qcjn> gnutron: there were about 10 to 20 lines in there
[04:24] <winston_> joseph, sorry i was mistracked, no i think its fine the way you had it
[04:24] <winston_> try it
[04:24] <joseph> I tried it after the root and that didn't work
[04:25] <gnutron> qcjn: yeah, most were ipv6 lines
[04:25] <Jumblehead> Can someone please help me, i cant get sauerbraten to run.. I downloaded through synaptic package but it wont work i get this X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[04:25] <wenko> hey there. I am trying to get sysklogd to email me. Anyone able to help me with this...
[04:25] <nathan_> winston i got it to say yes but its still not working
[04:25] <gnutron> qcjn: i think you had a bad alias in there, but youre gonna need  to fix it
[04:26] <gnutron> qcjn: is /etc/hosts gone?
[04:26] <winston_> russ, do sudo chown username:users /media/disk
[04:26] <qcjn> gnutron: i ll look
[04:26] <Jumblehead> Can someone please help me, i cant get sauerbraten to run.. I downloaded through synaptic package but it wont work i get this X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[04:26] <winston_> replace username with your user name
[04:27] <mcarter> scunizi, that seems to ask me almost entirely keyboard questions
[04:27] <winston_> Jumble you have 3d configured right?
[04:27] <winston_> glxinfo | grep direct
[04:27] <winston_> in terminal tell me what it says
[04:27] <gatewaydrug> anybody here has experience working with brother printers?
[04:27] <mcarter> scunizi, though it ultimately results in the same simple configuration: http://pastebin.ca/1274589
[04:27] <Jumblehead> winston not sure......
[04:27] <winston_> gatewaydrug, yes i ama networked to a b/w printer
[04:27] <qcjn> gnutron: it's there
[04:27] <russ5811> winston_, thank you very much!!!
[04:27] <winston_> russ it works?
[04:28] <mcarter> is there not a graphical utility anymore to see your video card? I vaguely recall something from ubuntu 7.x in system administration that has sense vanished
[04:28] <gnutron> qcjn: whew, good, on your client box right?
[04:28] <russ5811> yes, changed the permissions and let me copy the file
[04:28] <qcjn> yes
[04:28] <Jumblehead> i can play fretsonfire but i cant play sauerbraten
[04:28] <russ5811> thank you
[04:28] <qcjn> gnutron: yes
[04:28] <nathan_> winston_it says yes but the visual effects still wont work
[04:28] <winston_> why?
[04:28] <biouser> how can I see what ports all of my daemons are listening on?
[04:28] <gnutron> qcjn: i doubt you'd be here without it. cool. job done
[04:28] <scunizi> mcarter, xrandr is the system that currently controls video.  I'm not really sure where to go from here. Maybe someone else will be able to take up the task... sorry.. I'm stuck
[04:28] <joseph> winston - I've tried it at the end of the root line, the kernel line,and the initrd line, still no love
[04:28] <wenko> gnutron: netstat
[04:28] <qcjn> gnutron: /etc/hosts
[04:29] <gatewaydrug> thank god... ok winston so here it is... its a MFC 8440, hooked up via USB... it doesnt print in legal paper... it offers the option, on the test page it says page size 8.5x14... but it chops up the top part of the page
[04:29] <winston_> oh...
[04:29] <mcarter> scunizi, thanks for your help, i appreciate it
[04:29] <winston_> yeah sorry, your on your own :/ i really don't know much about printers and any OS
[04:29] <Jumblehead> Winston, here is more of the error Major opcode of failed request:  135 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
[04:29] <Jumblehead>   Minor opcode of failed request:  10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode)
[04:29] <gnutron> qcjn: i think you're lock and loaded now, no problems.
[04:29] <gatewaydrug> aight thx anyway
[04:29] <qcjn> gnutron: this is what i ve deleted     ~/.ssh/known_hosts
[04:29] <gnutron> wenko: got it.
[04:30] <nathan_> can someone help me, my visual effects wont work
[04:30] <gatewaydrug> if anybody else cares to give this pesky problem a try please oh please give me a hand
[04:30] <gnutron> qcjn: as well you should have, thats all good now.
[04:30] <scunizi> mcarter, wish I could have done more.. it's easier editing xorg when it applies.. but ubuntu is trying to make it bullit proof.. ie idiot proof
[04:30] <gnutron> qcjn: dont mess with hosts file
[04:30] <joseph> I need to strangle whoever thought changing the refresh rates without asking when updating to 8.10 was a good idea
[04:31] <gnutron> qcjn: known_hosts is totally different.
[04:31] <qcjn> gnutron: ok, but like i told you it's what i understood from you...
[04:31] <qcjn> ok
[04:31] <nathan_> can someone help me, my visual effects wont work
[04:31] <mcarter> scunizi, yeah -- I wish they kept that previous video configuration tool they had; its better to have *some* control than none
[04:31] <winston_> nathan_ go into terminal and do compiz --replace
[04:31] <evolve_> hey guys, is it possible to setup a cron job to start a computer at a certain time?
[04:31] <gnutron> qcjn: i think you are ok now, i've got to go.
[04:31] <winston_> evolve_ definately
[04:31] <biouser> how to get comprehensive list of what ports are being listened to by what services?
[04:32] <scunizi> evolve_, not when it's off
[04:32] <qcjn> gnutron: thanks
[04:32] <Jumblehead> any ideas winston?
[04:32] <evolve_> confused, i got a def and a no

[04:33] <gnutron> qcjn: 'till later see you
[04:33] <CutMeOwnThroat> scunizi, so you can switch it on when it's not off?
[04:33] <qcjn> gnutok,ciao
[04:34] <scunizi> CutMeOwnThroat, ??  if the computer is off a cron job won't turn it on.
[04:34] <joseph> How would I search for instructions on booting 8.10 into command line? I'm missing something...
[04:34] <nathan_> wintson_says checking for xgl: not present
[04:34] <evolve_> rsync only takes a long time initially correct? after that would it be possible to rsync continuesly in the background?
[04:35] <CutMeOwnThroat> scunizi, if it's on, it won't turn it on either :))))))
[04:35] <d_dyer> Does 8.10 not have the Zoom feature cause Super+scroll does not work
[04:35] <scunizi> CutMeOwnThroat, eye laddie.. you're right :)
[04:35] <Jumblehead> Can someone please help me, i cant get sauerbraten to run.. I downloaded through synaptic package but it wont work i get this X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[04:35] <ircdcl> eye? Lol aye* maybe?
[04:35] <Meshezabeel> d_dyer: works for me
[04:35] <xaz446d> hi, when i try to run 'login', i get an error message saying - No utmp entry.  You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh"
[04:35] <CutMeOwnThroat> scunizi, you had me thinking there, for quite a moment
[04:35] <xaz446d> it only happens when im logged in as a normal user. doesn't come up when im logged in as root
[04:35] <d_dyer> Hmm...
[04:36] <scunizi> ircdcl, phonetics?
[04:36] <mudkip> guys how do i add my wifi card
[04:36] <Meshezabeel> d_dyer: is it ubuntu specific or compiz specific?
[04:36] <mudkip> i accidentally baleeted it
[04:36] <ircdcl> !ccms | d_dyer
[04:36] <d_dyer> IDK
[04:36] <Coded1> winston_; do you know of a multi processor benchmark software?  I've tried super pi but its only single threaded
[04:36] <ircdcl> !ccsm | d_dyer
[04:36] <Synx_micro> Anyone got bluetooth DUN working out of the box on 8.10?
[04:36] <d_dyer> ok thanks ircdcl
[04:36] <ircdcl> yw
[04:37] <Jumblehead> Can someone please help me, i cant get sauerbraten to run.. I downloaded through synaptic package but it wont work i get this X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[04:37] <Meshezabeel> thanks for showing me a neat feature d_dyer, I never knew this existed before :)
[04:37] <d_dyer> lol NP
[04:37] <CutMeOwnThroat> evolve_ *another* computer could turn a switched-off computer on with a cronjob... e.g. if it's just suspended and has wake-on-lan
[04:37] <winston_> Coded1_ i am completely clueless, search benchmark in synaptic
[04:37] <Coded1> I tried hardinfo but apparently my dual - dual core xeon @ 2.66x4 runs as fast as a celeron 1.50; thats gotta be a bad sign :(
[04:38] <winston_> Coded1 i sincerely doubt that, by default ubuntu even on desktops will change clock dynamically accoding to CPU demand
[04:38] <nathan_> wintson_says checking for xgl: not present
[04:38] <ircdcl> There's a nice cron GUI too gnome-schedule
[04:39] <Jumblehead> Can someone please help me, i cant get sauerbraten to run.. I downloaded through synaptic package but it wont work i get this X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[04:40] <rookie> anyone here using a Pinnacle 80e based USB HD tuner?
[04:40] <scunizi> Jumblehead, I'll take a stab.. I wonder if sauerbraten need glx to be enabled to run.. do you have restricted drivers enabled? if not enable them. if you have compiz running turn it off.. that might make a difference.
[04:41] <nathan_> i still cant get my visual effects to work
[04:41] <lavacano201014> What's the most reliable way to check the amount of hard disk space used?
[04:42] <rookie> lavacano201014, df -h
[04:42] <mcarter> Is there some file (or config screen) besides xorg.conf where I can see if my Intel GMA 950 is enabled?
[04:42] <winston_> nathan - cat /usr/bin/compiz | grep WHITELIST
[04:43] <nathan_> do i type that in the terminal?
[04:43] <lavacano201014> rookie: OK, and how do I check to see what's using the most space?
[04:44] <Dwade09> what is unknown001C1183B09A   found in my home network, inside my gateway modem.
[04:44] <scunizi> I'm hooked.. tried "free the fish" in terminal
[04:44] <winston_> lavacano201014:  Applications -> Acessories -> Disk Usage Anyliser
[04:44] <Dwade09> lol yea thats cool.
[04:44] <winston_> natah yes
[04:44] <wenko> hey there. I am trying to get rsyslogd + ommail to email me. Anyone able to help me with this...
[04:44] <nathan_> ok i typed it in
[04:45] <winston_> wenk the best you can do for youself is to read the man pages about that, and get the extra doc pages
[04:45] <scunizi> Dwade09, he just takes forever to swimm aroung the back of the screen
[04:45] <d_dyer> i have another problem,i cant get my Desktop effects to go to "Normal" it would in 8.04 but in 8.10 is says the following "Desktop effects could not be enabled"Do i need Drivers?
[04:45] <Mal3ko> how do we check service's cmd startline/parameter?
[04:45] <winston_> d_dyer:  glxinfo | grep direct
[04:45] <winston_> tell me yes or no
[04:45] <Dwade09> scunizi,  i do not have ubuntu but when i did, i let him run all the time.
[04:45] <d_dyer> Winston:How do i do that?
[04:46] <Dwade09> scunizi,  he is too cute eh.
[04:46] <vasandgvd> hi! the bottom panel doesn't show the windows titles. i was experimenting with gnome and its packages... what can i do?
[04:46] <nathan_> says yes
[04:46] <winston_> d_dyer:  Applications -> Acessories -> terminal
[04:46] <Chaosmagi> Are you tired of being stuck in a rut. Life realy not going anywhere. Well all u need to do is !!!!!!!!!!!!!TAKE BACK REALITY!!!!!!!!!!! www.ellis69.webs.com
[04:46] <d_dyer> ok
[04:46] <winston_> nathan - then it should be configured correctly
[04:46] <Dwade09> scunizi,  i am on mac os x wonder if we have one for that
[04:46] <scunizi> Dwade09, I think most people are not aware of him.. ... for those interested open a terminal and type "free the fish"
[04:46] <winston_> proves that you have hardware rendering
[04:46] <nathan_> ok ill test it
[04:47] <Flare183> i am using a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Wireeless Card, and I just install a new kernel and now the wireless card doesn't work how can I fix this?
[04:47] <Flare183> Wireless*
[04:47] <d_dyer> winston: Direct Rendering:Yes
[04:47] <gatewaydrug> if anyone can help me getting a Brother MFC 8440 printing in legal paper in a box running 8.10 it would be really apreciated... i´ve been trying for hours and cant get it done
[04:47] <winston_> d_dyer:  do compiz --replace in that program
[04:47] <d_dyer> in the terminal?
[04:47] <winston_> yeah
[04:47] <d_dyer> ok
[04:48] <nathan_> its still not working
[04:48] <winston_> nathan_ go to the private message i sent you
[04:48] <s34n_> when I try to configure before compiling I get this error: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[04:48] <liutz> hi,test the chat..
[04:49] <Flare183> Any Suggestions?
[04:49] <s34n_> I'm not sure how to fix that
[04:49] <vasandgvd> hi! the bottom panel doesn't show the windows titles. i was experimenting with gnome and its packages... what can i do?
[04:49] <d_dyer> winston: i did that,tried to enable them and i get the same message :(
[04:49] <winston_> what error?
[04:49] <d_dyer> Desktop effects could not be enabled
[04:50] <winston_> no did you do compiz --replace - what as the rror it showed you
[04:50] <d_dyer> Oh one sec
[04:50] <vasandgvd> hi! the bottom panel doesn't show the windows titles. i was experimenting with gnome and its packages... what can i do?
[04:50] <gleesond> what utility should I use for connecting to wifi networks?
[04:51] <winston_> vasandgved, so you have the Window List still there
[04:51] <d_dyer> winston: compiz --replace in that program-Checking for Xgl: not present. ,Blacklisted PCIID '8086:2562' found ,aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
[04:51] <winston_> gleesond, using gnome?
[04:52] <winston_> d_dyer, what graphics vendor do you have again?
[04:52] <d_dyer> Intel
[04:52] <gleesond> winston_: yeah
[04:52] <gleesond> I got an eee pc
[04:52] <russ5811> hi all, networking question for you. i installed ndiswrapper, the utils, and the gtk interface. i have done this previously but tonight, it is not working. it is an amd64 system if that matters. also, i installed the .debs for the 64 bit version? it says the windows driver is working and the hardware is present, yet it is not reading any networks. normally it sees about 20
[04:52] <wirawan0> Hi I am new here. Is there any specialized chat room for wireless stuff?
[04:52] <gleesond> now I want to connect it via wifi
[04:52] <rafa> can someone help me with the live usb creator? its only working with the ubuntu 8.10 iso
[04:53] <winston_> gleesond, just use the nm-applet that is in your tray
[04:53] <Muhammad_Saad> Hello, I am getting this error while reloading Synaptic: "W: GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>" How do I fix it?
[04:53] <n8tuser2> russ5811--> umm how do you know the driver is working? what test you made?
[04:53] <russ5811> under the gui for windows drivers, it says hardware present. that is what it said the last few months it's been working. not showing anything different, but if there are other tests, i'm all ears
[04:54] <winston_> gleesond - you do have wifi working right?
[04:54] <d_dyer> winston_:My graphics Vendor is Intel,it is a embed card on the MoBo
[04:54] <gleesond> winston_: that was what I needed
[04:55] <gleesond> it works
[04:55] <n8tuser2> russ5811--> post the results of these commands,  iwconfig;  ifconfig; route -n ; cat /etc/network/interfaces ; cat /etc/resolv.conf;
[04:55] <gleesond> thanks
[04:55] <rafa> anyone have any experience with the live usb creator?
[04:55] <wirawan0> I guess I just have to ask here. I keep having trouble resuming wireless from sleep (ACPI S3). My hardware is Dell D600 Latitude and the wifi card is ipw2200 (=eth1). The kern.log gives: "ipw2200: Failed to send SYSTEM_CONFIG: Already sending a command."
[04:56] <Skeer> does the ordered disk of ubuntu server have prints on it? or is it just plain?
[04:56] <n8tuser2> wirawan0--> just do a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[04:56] <winston_> d_dyer do this - lspci | grep -i intel
[04:56] <amer> hey guys when i run apt-get install mplayer there is a message recommended packages now do i have to install those or when i click yes it will install automaticly
[04:57] <david_> it should install dependencies
[04:57] <n8tuser2> amer--> dependencies are required
[04:57] <david_> that's the point of apt-get or aptitude
[04:57] <dmata82> hi
[04:57] <amer> how can i install those?
[04:57] <winston_> david - its the package manager
[04:57] <wirawan0> I did "ifdown eth1" and "ifup eth1" as root; it did not help. I also tried using "rmmod ipw2200" and "modprobe ipw2200" a few times, it also did not help.
[04:57] <d_dyer> Winston_:ALOT of stuff came up
[04:57] <winston_> oh
[04:58] <winston_> d_dyer - pastebin the output of lspci
[04:58] <biouser>  Calling sip:501@ekiga.net -------23:57:39 Security check failed!!!!!!
[04:58] <wirawan0> After a while, it finally worked now. But strange---I cannot pinpoint where the problem was.
[04:58] <david_> winston what are you telling me for exactly I believe someone else has the issue
[04:58] <d_dyer> ok,but i know what my GFX is and it is only 1 line i could just post it here
[04:58] <wirawan0> Looks like there is something locked in the hardware and I could not reset it.
[04:58] <winston_> sure
[04:59] <winston_> david sorry lspci was for d_dyer
[04:59] <david_> I was letting him know apt or aptitude will get the dependencies
[04:59] <david_> np winston
[04:59] <n8tuser2> wirawan0--> you can try sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart
[04:59] <mcarter> I have an aspireone netbook (with integrated intel gma 950); when i try to turn on appearance->visual effects: normal, I get a "searchin for drivers" dialog, then a "cannot enable visual effects" dialog. How do I correct this?
[04:59] <amer> david     so should i just say yes?

[05:04] <dmata82> im not even trying
[05:04] <IndyGunFreak> mcarter: how does lspci identify it?
[05:04] <dmata82> i cant find the windows partition
[05:04] <david_> gatewaydawg Im thinking Im not the best source to help you, I would say looking at LPR and /var/lpd/log
[05:04] <amer> david what is red unavailable and unsatisfied things in aptitude?
[05:05] <Jumblehead> aussie_nut sauerbraten worked fine on 8.04
[05:05] <wirawan0> n8tuser2: I am speaking about resuming from "suspend", not from "hibernation"
[05:05] <gatewaydrug> i cant do that alone my friend, the noob is strong with me
[05:05] <aussie_nutt> defaults to an resolution unsupported by your X server that all i can think of
[05:05] <n8tuser2> wirawan0--> pretty much same isnt it?

[05:06] <bullfist> I'm a computer tech, and I found this 500mhz computer on the curb. I made it work and wanted to use it in my living room to play downloaded stuff on the TV.
[05:06] <tankpunk> im currently runnin ubuntu 8.10 intrepid 64, and having a lot of java problems, is there currently a java plugin that works with pogo for mozilla 64?
[05:06] <david_> amer hmmm  I am not sure what your doing exactly are you in term?
[05:06] <wirawan0> dmata8: did you try this command:  cat /proc/partitions  . What did you see? Did you see a partition whose size is similar to your windows partition?
[05:06] <amer> i'm trying to install mplayer
[05:06] <amer> k3b
[05:06] <amer> xine
[05:06] <dmata82> you mean to try it in terminal?
[05:06] <bullfist> I used ubuntu because it was supposed to be faster, and it was. I could play divx with it. Until I put a new video card in... you know one that has TV out.
[05:06] <amer> no to install it
[05:07] <aussie_nutt> not sure there cuz never used it
[05:07] <amer> but i'm useing terminal apt-get install
[05:07] <david_> amer, ok did you install them yet?
[05:07] <amer> no
[05:07] <david_> gotcha
[05:07] <amer> i went to aptitude
[05:07] <david_> ok
[05:07] <david_> what did you get in response?
[05:07] <amer> i typed mplayer
[05:07] <amer> and now i'm in mplayer info
[05:07] <tankpunk> hello?
[05:07] <amer> that's where all those red stuff is
[05:07] <bullfist> so can anyone help me find the right driver?
[05:07] <wenko> allo
[05:08] <wirawan0> n8tuser2: Ehm...maybe so. But in Feisty the resuming was *very* smooth, though.
[05:08] <dmata82> i try it
[05:08] <CO2Games> also I won't be needing to use the internet on this machine so is there some way to just directly forward the connection without sharing
[05:08] <david_> amer so your in the info page on mplayer?
[05:08] <wirawan0> dmata82: yes. in terminal.
[05:08] <timboy> can someone help me get my sound working? it works fine in xbmc in 5.1 surround but I can't seem to get it to work normally in ubuntu. Optical audio
[05:08] <tankpunk> dot mean to be a bother just ive been reading forums for hours and cant seem to find a fix
[05:09] <amer> yes
[05:09] <n8tuser2> wirawan0--> what can i say.. sometimes getting the latest does not necessarily gives you the best.. maybe you want to reinstall the older one?
[05:09] <tankpunk> don*
[05:09] <david_> ok
[05:09] <dmata82> it says "No existe el fichero o directorio" "the file or directory doesnt exists"
[05:09] <amer> what do i have to to install it
[05:09] <david_> so your just trying to now run mplayer?
[05:09] <david_> if you have the man you usually have the program
[05:09] <david_> did you try mp and then tab to see list?
[05:09] <n8tuser2> tankpunk--> maybe you ask the folks in #java ?
[05:09] <amer> no
[05:09] <wirawan0> dmata82: that is weird.
[05:09] <david_> try that
[05:10] <bullfist> I guess I'll just wait till someone who can help me is not so busy.
[05:10] <david_> also look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=37736
[05:10] <wirawan0>  what version of distro are you using? sorry if I am asking again.
[05:10] <aussie_nutt> old mainly good at times cuz stability
[05:10] <tankpunk> n8tuser2 : ty wil do ;P
[05:10] <aeolien> How do I disable the System Beep?
[05:10] <aeolien> Or make it less annoying
[05:10] <dmata82> me? Ibex
[05:10] <Guest37955> try typing locate mu in a terminal
[05:10] <bullfist> aeolien: Unplug your speaker from your mainboard.
[05:10] <Guest37955> try typing locate mplayer in a terminal
[05:11] <wirawan0> dmata82: do you have /proc subdirectory?
[05:11] <aeolien> Thanks, bullfist. Exactly what I need.
[05:11] <amer> david can u tell me why aptitude is better then apt-get
[05:11] <wirawan0> dmata82: can you do "ls /proc" ?
[05:11] <bullfist> aeolien: No problem.
[05:11] <tankpunk> umm i  need to register to join java?
[05:11] <aussie_nutt> apptitude better at cleaning up i reckin
[05:11] <bullfist> So, who knows about video cards?
[05:12] <n8tuser2> tankpunk--> i find the #java in undernet friendlier
[05:12] <aussie_nutt> but i use both at time depending wat im doing
[05:12] <dmata82> wow
[05:12] <Guest37955> what kind of video card
[05:12] <Mal3ko> can anyone recommend me some good real-time bandwidth monitor?
[05:12] <dmata82> yes i did ls /proc
[05:12] <david_> because it will get all dependencies , aptitude doesnt leave scattered files, ( with clean) :o0
[05:12] <tankpunk> again ty
[05:12] <tankpunk> ;P
[05:13] <bullfist> Volari, it was supposed to be supported. V3Xt-128A
[05:13] <aussie_nutt> and i reckin it handles conflicts better too when upgrading
[05:13] <david_> amer also more options on install  you can select dependencies better as well
[05:13] <dmata82> so what am i looking for? after ls /proc
[05:13] <david_> aussie your recokoning righjt
[05:13] <david_> whops .....right
[05:13] <bullfist> MALKO must be a popular name.
[05:13] <aussie_nutt> lmao
[05:13] <Dwade09> scunizi,  how do i install free the fish? or download the app?
[05:13] <aussie_nutt> i understand typonese
[05:13] <david_> indeed!
[05:13] <wirawan0>   dmata82: do you have file called "partitions"?
[05:14] <rlt> Anyone happen to know how I can get aptitude to show a flat package list at startup, rather than the category tree it does by default?
[05:14] <dmata82> yes
[05:14] <david_> I was asking earlier if anyone has upgraded from init.d to xinet.d?
[05:14] <rlt> I'm getting kinda bored of hitting the View menu every time I load it...
[05:14] <wirawan0> so you should be able to do:
[05:14] <wirawan0> cat /proc/partitions
[05:14] <paranoid_ndroid> !midi
[05:14] <dmata82> lets see
[05:15] <timboy> can someone help me get my sound working? it works fine in xbmc in 5.1 surround but I can't seem to get it to work normally in ubuntu. Optical audio
[05:15] <dmata82> sda sda1 loop?
[05:15] <bullfist> so... are volari cards supported? I know ther are linux drivers but I have no clue how to install them.
[05:15] <wirawan0> are you using WUBI?
[05:16] <scunizi> Dwade09, in ubuntu?  it should be there already.. just open a terminal and type free the fish
[05:16] <david_> what is volari?
[05:16] <david_> never heard of them
[05:16] <dmata82> i did cat /proc/partitions
[05:16] <bullfist> XGI video cards
[05:16] <bullfist> david

[05:16] <david_> bullfist thanks :o)
[05:17] <david_> learn something everyday they say
[05:17] <wirawan0> only those 3 items? Do you only have 1 disk? And only one partition? It seems so to me.

[05:17] <wirawan0> what if you type "mount" ?
[05:17] <bullfist> david do you know how to install a linux driver that may work in ubuntu?

[05:17] <scunizi> Dwade09, well.. I don't thing you can install that in a mac.. unless you're running  ubuntu in a vm or dual boot
[05:17] <Ohmu> I've just upgraded heron->ibex.  Running 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart'   I now get the error: iniparser: syntax error in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf (4): -> ifupdown]   It worked before.  What's going on?
[05:17] <david_> tankpunk whats issue?
[05:18] <Dwade09> scunizi,  i have X 11 installed.
[05:18] <bullfist> david: Yea, for XGI... Before I installed it... I could play divx movies... but after I put it in all the video is choppy.

[05:18] <scunizi> Dwade09, beyond me.. I just discovered free the fish yesterday

[05:18] <Ohmu> The file just reads:   [main]  plugins=ifupdown,keyfile        [ifupdown]   managed=false
[05:19] <Manny> could someone help me install 8.10 in 8.04 ( i got the cd)
[05:19] <bullfist> it's really frustrating cause I rescued the PC from the curb and took the time to get the agp slot working just to play movies on the TV so my GF doesn't have to use her laptop anymore.
[05:19] <Manny> ?
[05:19] <Manny> :-D plz ?
[05:19] <bullfist> david: Volari V3XT-128A
[05:19] <digi_> need to know is this also the channel for xubuntu?
[05:19] <Manny> How can I install 8.10 into 8.04 ?
[05:19] <troublemaker> .
[05:20] <bullfist> digi: yeap
[05:20] <scunizi> Dwade09, http://www.linuxtutorialblog.com/post/gnome-easter-egg-free-the-fish

[05:20] <Manny> ty
[05:20] <Dwade09> scunizi,  lol i sen that
[05:20] <wirawan0> dmata82: did you put the Linux installation on a Windows partition via "WUBI"? It seemed so to me. Also try this command: "mount" (by itself). That should show the location of /dev/sda1, which is most likely the partition you're looking for.
[05:20] <digi_> !Xubuntu-channels
[05:21] <gatewaydrug> can somebody here explain this to me because I read it and re read it and cant seem to understand http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/faq_prn.html#115
[05:21] <david_> bullfist try reading this http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=207&num=1
[05:21] <bin1010> why is it that I can ping a machine using the hostname, but when I add a line in fstab to connect to a smb share on the machine .... I can only use the IP address.  Only this wont work because all the machines on our network are setup to be DHCP....HELP!!!
[05:21] <david_> seems like some good info on the drivers and support err lack there of
[05:21] <tankpunk> david_ > sorry did you see my question?
[05:21] <bullfist> ok be right back.

[05:22] <shinefire22> speaking of Wubi, i'd like to back up the settings i've got from my wubi installation and do a full 8.10 install...any tips?
[05:22] <tankpunk>  well i have 64 bit ubuntu and mozilla and am having trouble getting java games like pogo to work
[05:22] <david_> I had this very same problem
[05:22] <david_> its a pita to fix
[05:22] <Myrtti> snuitje: save everything you have in /home
[05:22] <n8tuser2> !clone | shinefire22
[05:23] <codyzapp> is there a client that has msn and is able to display those "animated gifs" tagged to certain words typed?
[05:23] <david_> tankpunk i had to basically get  source and compile it
[05:23] <tankpunk> can u direct me to a website or tutorial
[05:23] <winston_> codyzapp:  amsn
[05:23] <david_> Im going to try and fins the thread that helped me
[05:23] <shinefire22> nice - thanks @n8tuser2 and @ubottu
[05:23] <aussie_nutt> or tank u try using 32 bit firefox
[05:23] <n8tuser2> shinefire22--> yw
[05:23] <codyzapp> k thx winston_ .. i had just tried that and it crashed on me :(
[05:23] <tankpunk> tyvm sorry for typing badly onscreen keyboard is rough and im in a chair
[05:24] <Hikefu> tankpunk: the only way I've gotten pogo to work is by installing the 32 bit sun java 5 plugin.
[05:24] <aussie_nutt> there be way make script up run 32 bit firefox on 64 bit
[05:25] <tankpunk> hikefu i cant seem to locate the version 5 plugin
[05:25] <gatewaydrug> my printer properties window froze on me, how do I force quit it?
[05:25] <tankpunk> been searching
[05:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !chroot
[05:25] <tyoc> ey people, how do I add a resolution that is not listed in system->preferences->resolution?
[05:25] <aussie_nutt> killall
[05:25] <winston_> codyzapp lets see why:  dmesg | grep amsn
[05:25] <aussie_nutt> then name
[05:25] <gatewaydrug> mr jack sparrow, care to continue trying to help me get this infernal printer to work?
[05:25] <Hikefu> tankpunk: I don't believe its in the repos any longer. I can't remember if I may have searched for it online and installed that way, or by some other means. You might be able to find it on Sun's site.
[05:25] <scunizi> tyoc, not sure but man xrandr might help
[05:26] <Jack_Sparrow> gatewaydrug nope, kinda busy elsewhere
[05:26] <codyzapp> hah nothin returns winston_
[05:26] <gatewaydrug> np
[05:26] <tankpunk> hikefu : ty i will try and locate it, i now its not in the repositories
[05:26] <david_> tankpunk try its deep in the thread but its there http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=987045
[05:26] <david_> its an issue with the 64bit version
[05:26] <tyoc> auch, xrand only show this: Screen 0: minimum 1280 x 800, current 1280 x 800, maximum 1280 x 800
[05:26] <winston_> codyzapp - then try running amsn from a terminal
[05:27] <david_> java isnt up to speed with the 64bit version
[05:27] <winston_> if it crashes it'll prolly say why
[05:27] <Hikefu> tankpunk: needless to say, it was a pain to get installed and working properly. I might have even installed a hacked/patched version.
[05:27] <tankpunk> is 64 bit more work than its worth?
[05:27] <dmata821> so i am trying to mount the windows files and i try proc and mount and this happened http://paste.ubuntu.com/79662/
[05:27] <Ohmu> Can anyone help me?  I've just uopgraded to Ibex and my WAP isn't functioning: 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' gives error 'iniparser: syntax error in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf (4): -> ifupdown].  looking into the file, just this: '[main]  plugins=ifupdown,keyfile        [ifupdown]   managed=false'   What's going on?  Why is the network manager invoked anyway?  I don't have a nm icon ...
[05:27] <codyzapp> well it crashed it in a way that i had to hit the computer restart button
[05:27] <david_> tankpunk no just java has been only issue so far
[05:27] <david_> I have java working now fine
[05:27] <brainzcan> can anyone tell me why linux is better than windows?
[05:28] <Hikefu> tankpunk: and be forewarned, some tutorials get it working, but not for POGO. That was my issue, and has always been. I play chess, and java and pogo typically don't work well together.
[05:28] <timboy> can someone help me get my sound working? it works fine in xbmc in 5.1 surround but I can't seem to get it to work normally in ubuntu. Optical audio
[05:28] <bullfist> Frig...

[05:28] <aussie_nutt> haha
[05:28] <Hikefu> tankpunk: make that linux, java and pogo
[05:28] <cowboyfeng> How do I create a webfolder?
[05:28] <bullfist> well anyone have any siggestions as to how I can boost the performance a bit?

[05:28] <cowboyfeng> in nautilis
[05:28] <david_> hikefu, I havent used Pogo so i cant comment on it but java does working the the fix in the thread I posted
[05:29] <tankpunk> thank you all for any help im trying desperatly to never use windows again, just wish linux had better acccessabilty 4 ppl in chairs
[05:29] <winston_> oh, your mouse wouldn't move?
[05:29] <david_> tankpunk you mean accessability issues?
[05:29] <brainzcan> so no one can tell me what makes linux ubuntu better than windows?
[05:29] <dmata82> becasue you must know what you are doing
[05:29] <bullfist> brainz: It's free and look in the packages you can install.
[05:29] <ubuntu> hi,i have tablet pc gateway cx200x, how can i make the pen work?
[05:29] <codyzapp> winston_, ya. nothing moved. just blinking amsn icon rapidly
[05:29] <aussie_nutt> it depending on wat ur using box for brain
[05:29] <winston_> brainzcan:  you know exactly what goes into it
[05:30] <david_> brainzcan, it all depends on the user and their capabilities in the end you can make the case for both systems
[05:30] <ice_cream> brainzcan, free is a big one
[05:30] <tankpunk> yup i use onboard but when theres a password request 4 say synaptic it locks onboard up
[05:30] <greg_universe> how do you enable internet connection sharing?
[05:30] <Hikefu> david_: perhaps it will. I can get it working easily, but like I said, it's the pogo thing. It wouldn't even work on 32 bit with anything other than sun java 5 until Intrepid. It works now with sun java 6. Otherwise, you might be able to load the game room and then not be able to play, or would experience crashes. Perhaps there have been improvements :)
[05:30] <david_> no one argues for AIX over windoze lol
[05:30] <ice_cream> but why ubuntu specifically, idk
[05:30] <winston_> codyzapp: no need to reboot - cntrl + alt + backspace kills your logged in session and puts you back to the login screen
[05:30] <cowboyfeng> just switched over form kubuntu and I can't figure out how to create a network folder for my web server
[05:30] <bullfist> David? Any ideas?
[05:30] <bullfist> it's pretty bad when I can't even play a video.
[05:31] <codyzapp> winston_, naw i tried it and nothin happened.. i would normally just switch consoles and kill the process but no worky
[05:31] <winterkill> Hello. Could anyone help me troubleshoot my graphics setup? After a slightly troublesome upgrade to Intrepid, I'm stuck running in low graphics mode. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't seem to help (It exits after keyboard detection and doesn't seem to reconfigure the graphics stuff at all...)
[05:31] <bullfist> maybe I'll keep emailing XGI till they get frustrated and help me out.
[05:31] <david_> Bullfist I had posted a thread with links to help you, sorry you didnt see it Ill try to find it again
[05:31] <winston_> oh, cody, check youor kernel.log
[05:31] <winston_> see if you had a kernel panic
[05:31] <david_> xgi doesnt seem as supported as nvidia
[05:31] <bullfist> I was reading the phoenix thing
[05:32] <winston_> winter sure
[05:32] <david_> ok no solutions there?
[05:32] <brainzcan> winston_  or   david_  or   Ice_cream_   : well so far Ubuntu has crashed more in two days than windows has for a whole year....  is fedora 10 any better?
[05:32] <ice_cream> gj and no
[05:32] <david_> brainzcan are you using an unstable versions?
[05:32] <bullfist> david: All it said was that the linux driver didn't work when they tried it. If I knew how to install a linux driver I would try it.
[05:32] <david_> or a supported version?
[05:32] <tankpunk> out of curiosity is around 3500 fps  running glxgears decent for running ubuntu 8.10 with compiz enabled?
[05:32] <brainzcan> 8.10
[05:33] <brainzcan> with the recent updates
[05:33] <david_> installing a driver and using modprobe will take awhile to explain  I can direct you to some websites first
[05:33] <winston_> brainz, check your logs
[05:33] <Sangoku> hiya
[05:33] <bullfist> like I don't need 3d accelleration... this computer is JUST for movies. I just want it to play the movies like it did with the other crappy vid card I had before.
[05:33] <Sangoku> is this the Ubuntu channel??
[05:33] <winston_> system -> Administration -> log viewer
[05:33] <winston_> sangoku yes
[05:33] <Sangoku> cool
[05:33] <winterkill> great. i've got a radeon 9800 and I was running the free driver prior to upgrading. i think the fglrx driver got installed during the upgrade
[05:33] <bullfist> ok dave... bring it on... I've already been trying to figure it out for a good 3 days... what's 3 more?
[05:34] <Sangoku> do any of you guys use Ubuntu on a dediacted server?
[05:34] <david_> brainzcan, Linux isnt for everybody, some love it, some prefers windows, like I said both have their pros and cons
[05:34] <david_> bullfist ok
[05:34] <winston_> winterkill:  first thing lets see if 3d works
[05:34] <winterkill> righto...
[05:34] <winston_> glxinfo | grep direct
[05:34] <winston_> in a terminal
[05:35] <david_> bullfist do you have a driver at hand?
[05:35] <timboy> can someone help me get my sound working? it works fine in xbmc in 5.1 surround but I can't seem to get it to work normally in ubuntu. Optical audio everything in alsa is turned up...
[05:35] <vik_> what to do if u don't have or forget  user name and password for admin site in django?
[05:35] <bullfist> david Yea I do... they weren't hard to find.
[05:36] <Sangoku> guess not. Does anybody know if I can use Winrar, Firefox, MPC and uTorrent on Ubuntu?
[05:36] <david_> is it a .run file?
[05:36] <brainzcan> david_ : i like linux, the gnome feel and slight freedom, not to mention I know what is in my computer but if it doesn't crash for me I have to hit the reset button.  Trust me i've been doing it all day
[05:36] <winterkill> winston_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79665/
[05:36] <david_> tramission is the utorrent equivalent sangoku
[05:36] <bullfist> no it's not... just a sec.
[05:37] <Sangoku> i've never used it and would prefer to use utorrent. Would it work?
[05:37] <winterkill> (I assume it's bad form to paste more than a line or two into the channel?)
[05:37] <aussie_nutt> transmission just as good
[05:37] <winston_> Sangoku - get wine
[05:37] <bullfist> ther are SH files... SO files and TGZ alot of TGZ
[05:37] <Sangoku> what's wine?
[05:37] <winston_> yeah it is winter
[05:37] <bullfist> there is also a PLX
[05:37] <tankpunk> a windows emulator
[05:37] <david_> brainzacan, well your having some issues, Im not sure what, post something specific, I wil try to help you, but I always keep another operating system running when learning a new OS
[05:37] <winston_> no
[05:38] <paul68> Sangoku: ubuntu uses a rar version Firefox no problem the other 2 programs I don't know
[05:38] <winston_> it is not an emulator
[05:38] <winston_> its a compatability layer
[05:38] <Ohmu> Does anyone understand network manager?
[05:38] <Sangoku> whats does that do and where can i get it from? haven't installed ubuntu yet but would love to use it.
[05:38] <ice_cream> brainzcan, it's not what the system can do for you, but what you can do for your system.
[05:38] <winston_> translates the windows API to linux sys calls
[05:38] <david_> ice_cream,  ha
[05:38] <david_> well said
[05:38] <ice_cream> ;)
[05:38] <aussie_nutt> lol
[05:38] <winterkill> Wine Is Not an Eulator
[05:38] <tankpunk> Sangoku: wine emulates windows in order to make soe windows apps work under linux
[05:38] <bullfist> Dave did you get that last message?
[05:38] <winston_> winter: you want the open drivers right?
[05:38] <winston_> no it does not emulate!
[05:39] <Sangoku> can i PM me paul68?
[05:39] <david_> ice_cream,  I used to run Gentoo, I would say it was at the time a bit over my head, but I love a challenge
[05:39] <winston_> WINE is a recusive acronym
[05:39] <winston_> WINE is not an Emulator
[05:39] <paul68> Sangoku: sure
[05:39] <tankpunk> ok sorry was just trying to help
[05:39] <winston_> lol its ok
[05:39] <winterkill> winston_: i don't really care as long as it works :) when I previously had fglrx installed it ran like a dog.
[05:39] <winston_> =-]
[05:39] <aussie_nutt> haha we going have wine debate grabs his drink n watches
[05:39] <david_> bullfist did you ever find the file type of that driver?
[05:39] <winston_> lol
[05:39] <brainzcan> ice_cream : well so far i've been able to do alot, thats why I'm here.  I really like this OS but damn it, it i'm getting pissed
[05:39] <ice_cream> lol
[05:39] <gatewaydrug> some aussie wine might be appropiate
[05:40] <ice_cream> take it slow =)
[05:40] <bullfist> david: Like I said, I don't even know how to make the driver work.
[05:40] <winston_> hey winter you pastebinned glxinfo by itself right?
[05:40] <aussie_nutt> rum all way m8
[05:40] <bullfist> I'm a TOTAL and complete NOOB with ubuntu.
[05:40] <ice_cream> dont start compiling a bunch of stuff, for instance, as ubuntu is a package-based distro =D
[05:40] <tankpunk> not often i can answer a linux question and recently i got wow working via wine
[05:40] <winterkill> winston_: yes
[05:40] <tankpunk> ;P
[05:40] <david_> brainzcan have a cup of tea, and a deep breath, keep another system up and running so its not your only system incase things go wrong and they do Murphy is with us always
[05:40] <bullfist> I know how to find and install packages... other than that... I got my own sound working...
[05:40] <winston_> yeah i noticed this on a ubuntu box at my school
[05:40] <gatewaydrug> as long as it isnt bacardi
[05:41] <ice_cream> mm
[05:41] <aussie_nutt> lmao never gate
[05:41] <gatewaydrug> barrilito 3 stars is my fave, but i dont think you can get that stuff down under
[05:41] <david_> bullfist np just copy and past the full file name here
[05:41] <Dwade09> is free the fish, application just built in and not made for installing?
[05:41] <bullfist> there is a few files.
[05:41] <ice_cream> brainzcan, what does 'crash' mean
[05:41] <brainzcan> david_ : i guess your right. atleast on the relax part but forget the tea i'm gettin a damn beer.
[05:41] <bullfist> inside the TGZ archive
[05:41] <ice_cream> heh
[05:41] <winston_> winter what card do you have again?
[05:42] <bullfist> I extracted them to my desktop
[05:42] <winterkill> winston_: the xorg log looked a little weird too, but no errors. ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
[05:42] <david_> brainzcan, sure but beer leads to lots of /var/log files lol
[05:42] <bin1010> I just installed 8.04 ubuntu.....why is it that I can ping a machine using its hostname from command line, but when I add a line in fstab to connect to a smb share on the machine .... Using the host's name won't work....I have to use the IP address.  Only this wont work for my network because all the machines on our network are setup to be DHCP.  Gotta love the IT manager... :)
[05:42] <aussie_nutt> and ur point is david
[05:42] <peragrine> does itunes work under wine?
[05:42] <aussie_nutt> lots booze be good somedays lol
[05:42] <david_> bullfist can you do a ls -l on your desktop for me?
[05:43] <ice_cream> yea, dont go driving about as root while drunk ;)
[05:43] <tankpunk> can anyone suggest a linux book if i really want to learn as i am trying to make it only os, or is it just better researching online?
[05:43] <david_> ice_cream, indeed
[05:43] <aussie_nutt> haha ice
[05:43] <bullfist> in the terminal? what's the whole command?
[05:43] <aussie_nutt> mite get hijacked then
[05:43] <aussie_nutt> hehe
[05:43] <biouser> what port are my servies listening on?  netstat is sockets...
[05:43] <david_> tankpunk,  linux essentials
[05:43] <bin1010> yes the terminal
[05:43] <brainzcan> ice_cream : complete shut down. but to be honest the thing that pisses me off is the programs that will take over all control I have and make me reset... lol, yeah thats why I stop touching the computer after i have a drink(s)
[05:43] <bullfist> wish I could just remote desktop this shite...
[05:43] <rlt> peragrine: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=1347
[05:43] <tankpunk> david_ thanks again ;P
[05:43] <brainzcan> but I know the programs are not linux
[05:43] <david_> bullfist thats the whole command ls -l   got to love Linuz
[05:44] <ice_cream> take over all control you have...
[05:44] <david_> oh crap Linux
[05:44] <tankpunk> lol
[05:44] <david_> bullfist we could do that, or ssh
[05:44] <winterkill> tankpunk: http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz was always recommended to me :)
[05:44] <ice_cream> you know you can always get in through a different tty and kill your graphical environment, if that freezes
[05:44] <david_> but it might be best if you learn first hand doing it yourself always make you a better admin
[05:44] <bullfist> remote desktop? Let's do it. I'm down.
[05:45] <cowboyfeng> Anybuddy know how to create a webfolder in gnome
[05:45] <mudkip> mkdir webfolder
[05:45] <aussie_nutt> lol
[05:45] <bullfist> I will learn by watching someone else do it. As long as we can chat a bit in a notepad while doing it.
[05:45] <ice_cream> a linux system does not really need restarts
[05:46] <winston_> winter:  did you check to see if fglrx is installed?
[05:46] <tankpunk> cool ty for advice ;P
[05:46] <brainzcan> ice_cream : ...enlighten me
[05:46] <Dwade09> scunizi, can you see if the free the fish is a built in only app, or an installable app?
[05:46] <scunizi>  Dwade09 it's an easter egg in gnome only
[05:46] <Dwade09> scunizi,  also can you look and see if there is  a script for it?
[05:46] <aussie_nutt> it defualt app
[05:47] <winston_> linux has cron for instance, it cleans up files and does routines
[05:47] <Dwade09> aussie_nutt,  i really want it for my os
[05:47] <winterkill> winston_: urm, how would I do that? nothing shows up under the restricted drivers manager. if I fglrx<tab> i get fglrxinfo and fglrx_gamma only
[05:47] <scunizi> Dwade09, I looked but don't you have access to google too?
[05:47] <winston_> do fglrxinfo
[05:47] <aussie_nutt> i just typed it in terminal n it there
[05:47] <aussie_nutt> haha
[05:47] <aussie_nutt> funny command to type
[05:48] <bullfist> ls -l only told me what folders I had BTW
[05:48] <Dwade09> scunizi,  yes. but i have no luck on my end, maybe not wording it right
[05:48] <winston_> bullfist what are you trying to do?
[05:48] <david_> bullfist oh ok I tried to private ya
[05:48] <david_> lol
[05:48] <elvis> anybody knows how to force enable windows file sharing on regedit for windows vista?
[05:48] <ice_cream> brainzcan, generally tty1 has bootup text, tty2 through tty6 are free to use, and tty7 is usually the graphical env
[05:48] <winterkill> winston_: i get the same output as before
[05:48] <aussie_nutt> free the fish that it
[05:48] <winston_> elvis wrong irc
[05:48] <david_> ok so the folders should be in blue
[05:48] <bullfist> yea they are
[05:48] <subsume> Could someone help me analyze the results of vmstat? http://dpaste.com/95608/
[05:48] <bullfist> ELVIS if it doesn't work normally then you won't be able to do it.
[05:48] <david_> ok do you see any of the names of your drivers in folders?
[05:48] <winston_> subume man vmstat?
[05:48] <scunizi> Dwade09, I get a lot of omega 3 references.. :(
[05:49] <bullfist> david no
[05:49] <aussie_nutt> lol
[05:49] <bullfist> just folders
[05:49] <ice_cream> some window managers have keyboard shortcuts built in to kill x
[05:49] <amer> david
[05:49] <brainzcan> oooo there we are
[05:49] <amer> how can install k3b in aptitude?
[05:49] <brainzcan> thats the studd
[05:49] <brainzcan> <-- stuff
[05:49] <rlt> !windows | elvis
[05:49] <david_> found it?
[05:49] <scunizi> amer, sudo apt-get install k3b .. or sudo aptitude install k3b
[05:50] <winston_> winter check your private messages
[05:50] <bullfist> David was that to me?
[05:50] <david_> cd into that directory and type ls -l
[05:50] <david_> yes
[05:50] <bullfist> OH ok
[05:50] <bullfist> like dos
[05:50] <david_> tell me whats in your driver directory
[05:50] <amer> i install libk3bdev
[05:50] <david_> haha sorta
[05:50] <amer> in aptitude should i remove that first
[05:50] <ice_cream> for me, fluxbox,     ctrl+alt+(f1 through f7) --> tty1 through tt7
[05:50] <david_> but not /dir commands here lol
[05:50] <scunizi> amer, you can but won't make a difference
[05:51] <rlt> david_: dir actually does work :P
[05:51] <elvis> anybody knows how to force enable windows file sharing on regedit for windows vista?
[05:51] <david_> I know but for I didnt want to sound confusing lol
[05:51] <rlt> elvis: this is a channel for Ubuntu support. Windows Vista is not Ubuntu. Go ask in ##windows
[05:51] <scunizi> elvis, ##windows for that answer
[05:51] <tankpunk> i found sun-java5-plugin but due to having 64 bit the deb will not allow a iinstall, is there a way to overridde this as i hear this fixes th pogo problem

[05:52] <aussie_nutt> then get that plugin then it all work
[05:52] <david_> its a problem with the 64 bit version
[05:52] <amer> thank you guys
[05:52] <aussie_nutt> i said that from start
[05:52] <tankpunk> aussie_nutt sorry bout that i missed it, ty will try

[05:52] <aussie_nutt> np tank
[05:52] <tritium6> My SMB connection is freezing up periodically when I stream DVD .isos - anyone have ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
[05:52] <bullfist> got it... it's case sensitive.
[05:53] <brainzcan> ice_  thanks for the advice/enlightenment...  i'll drink one (or six) just for you
[05:53] <bullfist> david where do you want me to list this?
[05:53] <scunizi> bullfist, everything in linux is case sensitive
[05:53] <david_> bullfist  copy to priv chat might be too big for chat
[05:53] <error404notfound> how can I check if my processor is HT or DualCore or Core2Duo?
[05:53] <ice_cream> lol
[05:54] <ice_cream> dont give up so easily =)
[05:54] <david_> error404notfound, syslog has that info but im sure there's a better way
[05:54] <error404notfound> hmm, waiting for a better way... :P
[05:54] <aussie_nutt> lol when u buy it haha
[05:54] <error404notfound> aussie_nutt: I didn't and I don't have its box...
[05:55] <david_> error404notfound,  cat /proc/cpuinfo
[05:55] <error404notfound> david_: that I think gives same info for HT or Dual Core or Core 2 Duo
[05:55] <biouser> EKIGA
[05:55] <biouser> wtf
[05:56] <Peddy> How could I erase a CD-RW from the terminal?
[05:56] <biouser> how do you make a new post on the forums :/
[05:56] <scunizi> biouser, you have to register
[05:56] <biouser> scunizi, I am
[05:57] <tritium6> My SMB connection is freezing up periodically when I stream DVD .isos - anyone have ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
[05:57] <ice_cream> error404, mm, it doesnt say it under model name?
[05:57] <joelmca> Given a directory with a bunch of files and child directories, is there a command I can use to recursively go through that directory and have it output to me the group owners that exist in the recursive list?
[05:57] <error404notfound> ice_cream: nope...
[05:58] <joelmca> For example, I think a directory and all of its children have a group owner of www-data. I want to make sure of that. But I don't want to have to manually go through each directory doing a "ls -al" on all of them.
[05:58] <elvis> skype is with "Problem with Audio Playback", when i try to make a call. anybody knows why?
[05:58] <winston_> joelmca sure
[05:58] <Flannel> joelmca: it'd be ls -alR, but then you may want to sort/grep/etc that
[05:58] <timboy> I can't get my sound working it works fine in xbox media center with 5.1 surround but I can't seem to get it to work normally in ubuntu. Optical audio... everything in alsa is turned up...
[05:59] <biouser> how to make a post on the forums, this is ridiculous
[05:59] <winston_> hah flannel beat me to it
[05:59] <Flannel> biouser: #ubuntuforums is the place for forum support, but there's a "start new thread" button near the top, I believe.
[05:59] <rlt> joelmca: "sudo chown -R :www-data directoryname" would make sure of it too :P
[05:59] <junglist313> I need help with wildcards using the rm command. I have a main directory called "Dimensions" with child directories named Dimensions1, Dimensions2, etc through Dimensions9. In each of these folders is a .mov file and 13 .srt files. I want to remove all of the .srt files while leaving the .mov files alone and leaving the directory structure alone. I try "rm -r *.srt" from the parent directory (Dimensions) and get a file not found
[05:59] <junglist313>  error.
[06:00] <ice_cream> interesting
[06:00] <joelmca> Thanks rlt -- that would be what I would run if I wanted to guarantee the result I wanted ;-)

[06:02] <[T]ank> im still trying to find where to edit the grub boot menu on the usb startup disk created from the System menu in 8.10. can any one tell me where the file is? Google tells me it should be isolinux.cfg but i cannot find that anywhere on my install
[06:02] <biouser> Ekiga + ubuntuforums = not worth living

[06:04] <junglist313> Anyone know how to use wildcards with rm?
[06:04] <Yossarianus> damnit! why is everything so bloody complicated in ubuntu? i'm having grave troubles with file associations
[06:04] <arrenlex> junglist313: The wildcards are expanded by the shell, so, the same as with any other program.
[06:04] <ttolttol2> where can i download movie??

[06:04] <arrenlex> subsume: killall <processname> or kill <processid> if you know it
[06:04] <subsume> arrenlex: I was hoping to stop and not kill.
[06:05] <biouser> anyone know why ekiga is retarded?

In each of these folders is a .mov file and 13 .srt files. I want to remove all of the .srt files while leaving the .mov files alone and leaving the directory structure alone. I try "rm -r *.srt" from the parent directory (Dimensions) and get a file not found
[06:05] <junglist313>   error.
[06:05] <arrenlex> subsume: The daemon? /etc/init.d/mysql* stop
[06:05] <[T]ank> anyone know where the grub menu is configured from in the usb startup disk?
[06:05] <subsume> arrenlex: wow. good call
[06:06] <biouser> Error while starting the listener for the SIP protocol, You will not be able to receive incoming SIP calls. Please check that no other program is already running on the port used by Ekiga.
[06:06] <aussie_nutt> it was just said to u tank
[06:06] <biouser> for one
[06:06] <arrenlex> subsume: Yes, it is the equivalent of ctrl+d. Gives the process a chance to terminate gracefully.
[06:06] <biouser> but my firewalls have been completely down to no avail
[06:06] <Flannel> biouser: and have you checked netstat to see if something else is already bound to that port?
[06:07] <david_> ice_cream,  hey can you private me for a sec?
[06:07] <arrenlex> junglist313: find . -iname "*.srt" -exec rm "{}" ;
[06:07] <biouser> Flannel, yes afaik, 5060?
[06:07] <biouser> why doesn't netstat tell me that apache is listening to 80 though?
[06:07] <ice_cream> did
[06:08] <junglist313> arrenlex: I have seen that command but I was wondering why my syntax was wrong trying to use rm?
[06:08] <CO2Games> yeah ok I tried this bridge thing
[06:08] <arrenlex> junglist313: The wildcard is expanded by the shell. So, bash will get a list of all files ending with .srt in the current directory, and then pass that list to rm -r.
[06:08] <CO2Games> it told me eth0 is not a device or something
[06:08] <CO2Games> sudo brctl addif brd0 eth0
[06:08] <CO2Games> interface eth0 does not exist!
[06:09] <junglist313> arrenlex: So bash expands the wildcard then pipes it to the command thus missing the recursion. Thank you.
[06:09] <arrenlex> junglist313: pipes is the wrong term, but yes, that is what happens.
[06:10] <winston_> trying to comprehend - not a unix pipe right?
[06:11] <biouser> how can I get output from netstat about say port 80 and apache
[06:11] <biouser> netstat | grep apache    no
[06:11] <biouser> netstat | grep 80 ...
[06:12] <biouser> nothing about apache that I can see
[06:12] <biouser> what does netstat have to do with ports?
[06:12] <aussie_nutt> are u sure that apache is running n listening to port 80
[06:12] <[T]ank> does no one use the usb startup disk?
[06:12] <elvis> i can't view windows shared files on ubuntu, altought the PC's appear on the network
[06:13] <winterkill> winson_: no luck, rebooted and im in the same position as before.  fglrxinfo still gives me the same error
[06:14] <aussie_nutt> did u start apache as regular user lol
[06:14] <linxuz3r> koool
[06:14] <aussie_nutt> look at 1024 maybe
[06:14] <linxuz3r> sup guys

[06:15] <gatewaydrug> anybody care to help with my printer...
[06:15] <bullfist> ok so who knows how to compile drivers and such?
[06:15] <CO2Games> $ sudo ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 || SIOCSIFADDR: No such device || eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[06:16] <tritium6> My SMB connection is freezing up periodically when I stream DVD .isos - anyone have ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
[06:16] <CO2Games> this bridge does *not* work
[06:16] <timboy> I can't get my sound working it works fine in xbox media center with 5.1 surround but I can't seem to get it to work normally in ubuntu. Optical audio... everything in alsa is turned up...
[06:17] <Fezzler> what is command line instruction to find file "ruby-glade-create-template" ?  or see if it is installed?
[06:17] <bullfist> no driver guru out there?
[06:18] <linxuz3r> Fezzler apt-cache search ruby-glade-create-template
[06:18] <arrenlex> !ask | bullfist
[06:18] <aussie_nutt> on a smoke break lmao
[06:18] <droopsta915> How can I get the minimize option on my open office.
[06:19] <bullfist> my video driver is non existant... The card was supposed to be supported by ubuntu. I have the linux driver but I don't know how to install it.
[06:19] <arrenlex> bullfist: What card?
[06:19] <bullfist> XGI V3Xt
[06:19] <bullfist> volari
[06:19] <linxuz3r> bullfist you try to compile the linux kernel not the driver
[06:19] <bullfist> I have no idea how to compile a linux kernel...
[06:19] <aussie_nutt> honestly id get another card
[06:20] <aussie_nutt> sure there bugs for those cards mite be fixed now
[06:20] <linxuz3r> me too i forgot how to compile linux kernel
[06:20] <bullfist> aussie: I just need it to work enough to play movies.
[06:20] <gatewaydrug> anybody here uses canonical support? is it worth it??
[06:20] <aussie_nutt> only worked with 6.06 nothing later i think not totally sur
[06:20] <aussie_nutt> sure
[06:20] <arrenlex> bullfist: Is xserver-xorg-video-sgi installed?
[06:21] <bullfist> the computer is 500MHZ I found it on the curb... it played movies before I put this card in... now it's just choppy. I don't need the 3D or high resolution.
[06:21] <arrenlex> bullfist: Sorry, that's not the package name... hold on
[06:21] <linxuz3r> bullfist Also for a list of graphicscard which are tried in Ubuntu here is a link
[06:21] <linxuz3r> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCards
[06:21] <linxuz3r> unfortunally your card is not listed
[06:21] <bullfist> just send across the command and I'll tell ya what it does.
[06:22] <linxuz3r> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=207&num=1
[06:22] <linxuz3r> phoronix supports it i think
[06:22] <arrenlex> bullfist:  xserver-xorg-video-sis ?
[06:22] <maek0> hey everyone .. im trying to play my commercial dvds and it says I need libdvdcss2 ... but I can't find it in the repos .. anyone know where I am supposed to get it ??
[06:23] <bullfist> anything that goes before or after that in the command?
[06:23] <linxuz3r> !dvd | maek0
[06:23] <tritium6> What would cause a network stream to freeze up for 10 seconds?
[06:24] <LeKtriK]oL[> can someone help me with running executables/x-executables
[06:24] <maek0> linxuz3r, Ive done all that and restricted extras says that it doesn't include libdvdcss2
[06:24] <bullfist> command not found
[06:24] <bullfist> I forget the command to download packages
[06:25] <arrenlex> bullfist: Who are you talking to? If it's regarding the sgi driver, try sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-sis
[06:25] <linxuz3r> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[06:25] <jrgp> LeKtriK]oL[, you need to first make sure the executable in question has run permissions
[06:25] <linxuz3r> maek0 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[06:25] <aussie_nutt> trit wat speed u got
[06:25] <jrgp> LeKtriK]oL[, right click on the file > properties > check "allow run as program"
[06:26] <arrenlex> maek0: You can grab it from here... click your architecture. http://packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid/libdvdcss2.html
[06:27] <bullfist> I have the latest version
[06:27] <bullfist> ARREN
[06:27] <pantaloon> hey all, i need help. my wireless adapter isn't working on my laptop
[06:27] <pantaloon> worked before 8.10 update
[06:27] <arrenlex> bullfist: Dunno then, sorry... I don't even know if the driver supports acceleration.
[06:28] <bullfist> I don't need acceleration.
[06:28] <aussie_nutt> old n outdated card
[06:28] <bullfist> I just need it to play movies again over the TV out
[06:28] <arrenlex> bullfist: It used to do this? What changed?
[06:28] <LeKtriK]oL[> jrgp, it was already checked
[06:28] <bullfist> it played them before... with the 64 meg card I had... but that card didn't have tv out
[06:28] <maek0> arrenlex, thanks a lot !!! ... I needed it cause Handbrake (which is an excellent dvd ripper) released a version for Ubuntu Linux if anyone is interested: http://handbrake.fr/
[06:28] <pantaloon> i actually worked after the update too, but it's been kinda buggy, and now it seems it's disabled...how do i enable hardware if the physical button doesn't work?
[06:29] <arrenlex> pantaloon: What card is it?
[06:29] <bullfist> arrenlex: I built the PC to hook to the TV cause we don't have cable and we download all our movies.
[06:29] <pantaloon> intel pro wireless 3945abg/bg
[06:30] <pantaloon> when i grep iwl3945, the last line is PCI INT A disabled
[06:30] <bullfist> arrenlex: I didn't use windows... because a 500mhz computer won't play divx in windows.
[06:30] <arrenlex> bullfist: Ah, different card... I thought it was the same one. Are you using the sis driver or the vesa one? Is it possible for you to upload the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file somewhere?
[06:30] <maek0> and thanks linxuz3r ... the Ubuntu devs really need to include libdvdcss2 in the restricted extras because playing back DVDs doesn't work with the ubuntu restricted extras
[06:30] <arrenlex> pantaloon: Make sure you're not booting with the killswitch off, it prevents you from using wireless at all.
[06:30] <bullfist> I don't know how to switch drivers... or change a driver.
[06:31] <LeKtriK]oL[> can anyone help me with executing files
[06:31] <arrenlex> pantaloon: I can't believe they released it like that but there you go... I ran into that too
[06:31] <nbeebo> can u make so the update manager notifies only huge updates?
[06:31] <bullfist> I'm a complete ubuntu newb. I wish I could just remote desktop with someone and watch them figure out what's wrong.
[06:32] <Sierradump> What is the command to show the startup messages after the computer has booted?
[06:32] <biouser> anyone know how to get ekiga working?
[06:32] <arrenlex> Sierradump: try sudo cat /var/log/boot
[06:32] <arrenlex> Sierradump: Also try dmesg
[06:32] <Sierradump> DMESG!
[06:32] <biouser> there is no problem with firewall (completely opened traffic)
[06:32] <Sierradump> arrenlex: - thats the one!  Thanks!!!!!!
[06:33] <biouser> oh geez
[06:33] <Sierradump> Just installed a new processor in my machine (single core to dual core) wanted to see if linux recognized both cores!
[06:33] <pantaloon> arrenlex: makes sense, but it isn't playing nice...i'll keep trying
[06:33] <rebel_kid> how can i password encrypt a file, without keys and such so that just the file can be sent to another system and decrypted with just the password
[06:35] <bullfist> arrenlex? Still up for helpin me?
[06:35] <nbeebo> how can i disable affinity?
[06:35] <arrenlex> Sierradump: Easiest way to do that is take a look at the cpus it's using and see if there are two. cat /proc/cpuinfo
[06:35] <maek0> arrenlex, thanks ... handbrake works nicely now
[06:35] <aussie_nutt> pant have u tried install the linux-restricted-modules.....
[06:36] <arrenlex> bullfist: I don't know anything about the card and the driver, sorry. If you were able to upload your xorg.log I could try taking a look at it but it probably wouldn't help much.
[06:36] <bullfist> ok.. maybe I can find someone who knows how to compile the driver from the files I have.
[06:37] <arrenlex> rebel_kid: Just put it in a zip file with a password on it.
[06:37] <bullfist> also what would cause a TGZ file to not work for me?
[06:37] <rlt> rebel_kid: you could use the --symmetric option to gpg... see http://advosys.ca/viewpoints/2006/07/pgp-symmetric-encryption/
[06:37] <rebel_kid> arrenlex, i dont use zip
[06:37] <rebel_kid> rlt, ty
[06:38] <aussie_nutt> he wants b more technical lol
[06:39] <pantaloon> aussie_nutt: yep, y?
[06:39] <linxuz3r> bye got to study
[06:39] <aussie_nutt> wat kernel version is it too pantaloon
[06:40] <bullfist> how do I open this TGZ file to see what's inside?
[06:40] <Dwade09> is there a script for the gnome panel?
[06:41] <winston_> is 59F good for a aCPU?
[06:41] <ruffleS> bullfist, using file-roller?
[06:41] <winston_> :P
[06:41] <nathan_> how can i have more than one wallpaper on mu compiz cube?
[06:41] <jrgp> winston_, it's not horrible
[06:41] <tankpunk> anyone here play any of the opensource linux games?
[06:41] <Sierradump> Where can I find the temperature of my room...
[06:41] <Sierradump> *haha I mean processsor?
[06:41] <bullfist> ruffles whould it automatically open in there?
[06:41] <jrgp> tankpunk, yes! I love urbanterror
[06:41] <winston_> jrgp, whats yours?
[06:41] <bullfist> right now it's saying archive manager
[06:41] <winston_> tankpunk i play a lot
[06:41] <ruffleS> bullfist, yes. .tgz files are .tar.gz files
[06:41] <jrgp> winston_, 50C
[06:42] <winston_> no
[06:42] <winston_> i mean 59 Farenheight
[06:42] <winston_> oops
[06:42] <tankpunk> urbanterror, rts or fps?
[06:42] <Dwade09> does anyone know if gnome panel has a script?
[06:42] <jrgp> oh
[06:42] <nathan_> how can i have more than one wallpaper on my compiz cube?
[06:42] <winston_> urbanterror isn't free though
[06:42] <winston_> just saying
[06:42] <winston_> but i play it
[06:42] <winston_> ane ETQW
[06:42] <jrgp> tankpunk, it's a freeware online really popular FPS
[06:42] <FloodBot2> winston_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:42] <winston_> ohsorry floodie!!!
[06:42] <tankpunk> cool
[06:42] <tankpunk> lol
[06:42] <arrenlex> Sierradump: The only temperature I know of is /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature. That's probably case temperature.
[06:42] <jrgp> what do you mean it isn't free enough? it's based off of the idstep 3 engine
[06:43] <Dwade09> nathan_, google multi wallpapers for the cube in ubuntu.
[06:43] <pantaloon> arrenlex: it would seem there is nothing i can do at boot to turn on wifi
[06:43] <winston_> jrgp - the content still sin't free
[06:43] <tankpunk> youve angered floodie winston ;P
[06:43] <winston_> isn't*
[06:43] <rlt> Sierradump: if arrenlex's suggestion doesn't work, look into lm_sensors
[06:43] <winston_> the ioquake3 program is though
[06:43] <ubuntu_> hello
[06:43] <rlt> Sierradump: sorry, lm-sensors **
[06:43] <winston_> hi
[06:43] <jrgp> winston_, in anycase, it's still awesome
[06:43] <winston_> jrgp: yes very much
[06:43] <jrgp> indeed
[06:43] <Sierradump> arrenlex / rlt :  is there any applications I can just open to look at the current temperature?
[06:43] <winston_> I play sim city 2000 in wine lol!
[06:44] <bullfist> ok can someone please help me compile a driver?
[06:44] <Sierradump> arrenlex / rlt:  is there a terminal command I can type to get the temperature?
[06:44] <winston_> cat filename
[06:44] <anto> one question... I had a little problem. used gparted to move my old windows partition but I have damaged the mbr... is there any tool to fix the mbr of windows? Im unable to find the damn windows cd, you never know where it is when you need it..
[06:44] <tankpunk> wow simcity2000 u must rallu like simcity
[06:44] <tankpunk> ;P
[06:44] <winston_> bullfist - youcan just cat the temp value file
[06:44] <rlt> Sierradump: if you go the lm-sensors route, there's a gnome panel applet for it in package sensors-applet
[06:44] <winston_> lol yes i do tankpunk it gets addicting
[06:44] <bullfist> winston - I don't know what that means.
[06:44] <winston_> anyone gotten glx in wine to work w/ fglrx
[06:45] <winterkill> winston_: apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx seems to have sorted it, back to normal screen resolution. thanks for help!
[06:45] <rlt> Sierradump: probably a command line thingie for it too, but I don't know it off the top of my head
[06:45] <winston_> not prob winter!
[06:45] <arrenlex> anto: What specifically is damaged? If the MBR is bad, you wouldn't be able to boot anything... there is no "windows mbr".
[06:45] <pantaloon> aussie_nutt: running 2.6.27-9-generic
[06:45] <tankpunk> i haven't played simcity in quite a while but very cool game
[06:45] <Sierradump> rlt:  so do I have do download the sensors applet?
[06:45] <anto> arrenlex, I wanted to run something like fixmbr or fdisk /mbr
[06:46] <jrgp_gone> Sierradump, checkout gkrellm for an awesome system monitor applet
[06:46] <rlt> Sierradump: if you want to use it, yeah. It's sensors-applet in the repos.
[06:46] <gatewaydrug> anybody free to give me a hand here? this is getting insane... a printer isnt supposed to take hours to fix1
[06:46] <winston_> sierradump - check out conky too
[06:46] <arrenlex> anto: What is broken? What would that command do?
[06:46] <anto> that command should fix the mbr
[06:46] <winston_> gatewaydrug - check the net?
[06:46] <gatewaydrug> yes
[06:46] <Sierradump> jrgp_gone / winston :  Will that tell me the cpu temperature?
[06:46] <gatewaydrug> no help
[06:47] <jrgp_gone> yes
[06:47] <jrgp_gone> among other thigns
[06:47] <winston_> Sierradump - once you have it configured
[06:47] <Sierradump> rlt:  looking for sensors-applet
[06:47] <winston_> conky is tricky, but gtkrellm is easy
[06:47] <CoJaBo-Eee> How do I get the latest VLC? Adept doesn't have 0.9.
[06:47] <jrgp_gone> Sierradump, sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
[06:47] <gatewaydrug> i cant find my specific problem, everything works fine exept legal paper
[06:47] <jrgp_gone> CoJaBo-Eee, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[06:47] <Myrtti> !latest
[06:48] <ruffleS> CoJaBo-Eee, there's this repository with the latest vlc version. just a second
[06:48] <rlt> CoJaBo-Eee: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html
[06:48] <bullfist> Can someone please help me compile a driver?
[06:48] <winston_> bullfist i'll give it a shot
[06:48] <winston_> what driver?
[06:49] <bullfist> winston ok I have the driver her for the XGI series for linux.
[06:49] <bullfist> winston it works for my card as well as some other ones
[06:49] <winston_> just wondering what kind of card?
[06:50] <sdtr443w> When I try to run make even on its own in an empty directory, I get "Illegal instruction." What happened to my toolchain?!
[06:50] <bullfist> XGI V3XT
[06:50] <jrgp_gone> !backports
[06:50] <winston_> which is?
[06:50] <winston_> graphics card?
[06:50] <bullfist> a video card
[06:50] <Hikefu> bullfist: he means hardware
[06:50] <princefarhaan> Hi All
[06:50] <winston_> ok
[06:51] <princefarhaan> how do i register my nickname?
[06:51] <winston_> and your sure there isn't an existing package?
[06:51] <Hikefu> !register
[06:51] <bullfist> winston I've been trying to install it for 3 days. If ther was a package I would have found it by now.
[06:51] <bullfist> I think...
[06:51] <winston_> ok
[06:52] <bullfist> the only thing I can find is this griver from XGI
[06:52] <bullfist> driver
[06:52] <arrenlex> winston_: The xserver-xorg-video-sis package purports to support all XGI series cards
[06:52] <CoJaBo-Eee> rlt: Thats how I got it, but it only goes up to 0.8.6e, is there a way to get 0.9?
[06:52] <ibrahim> hello , I am using intrepid. There are some problems about nationalization. Turkish characters are not displaying correctly in nautilus. How I can fix that?
[06:52] <bullfist> arrenlex I have that installed... no dice.
[06:52] <princefarhaan> I needed help in reclaiming space
[06:53] <princefarhaan> from the lost+found folder, I am using Intrepid
[06:53] <arrenlex> bullfist: Yes, but you may not be using it or it may not give acceleration. I am simply providing information so that winston_ can help you better. :)
[06:53] <princefarhaan> it is giving me 88.9 GB out of my 100 GB partition
[06:53] <winston_> arrenlex:  thanks for filling us clueless in :)
[06:53] <bullfist> I have 800X600 that's it and all the videos I try and play are choppy as hell.
[06:53] <rlt> CoJaBo-Eee: ... duh, I should read things before linking them to people >.<
[06:54] <princefarhaan> is there a way I can regulate the space assigned to that folder?
[06:54] <trevor> Does anyone know what the KMenu alternative, named similar to camelot, is actually called?  I can't find it anywhere...
[06:54] <bullfist> arrenlex Ok... so it may be just... simply telling the computer to use that package
[06:54] <arrenlex> princefarhaan: You have 89 GB of files in lost+found?!
[06:54] <rlt> CoJaBo-Eee: I thought there was a separate VLC repo that page was telling you how to add, but it looks like not. So yeah, no idea =/
[06:55] <Swidgen> trevor: cairo?
[06:55] <winston_> cairo is a 2d rendering engine...
[06:55] <winston_> right?
[06:55] <bullfist> so how do I tell ubuntu to use that sis driver package?
[06:55] <arrenlex> CoJaBo-Eee: packages.ubuntu.com indicates that intrepid has version 0.9.4 of vlc. That doesn't work for you?
[06:56] <winston_> try installing it
[06:56] <bullfist> I did
[06:56] <bullfist> it will not install or update cause I have the most up to date version
[06:56] <Swidgen> cairo dock then, maybe?  i'm just guessing
[06:56] <winston_> can always see if there is something in, system -> administration -> hardware drivers
[06:57] <trevor> Swidgen, No, I think that's a part of Gnome...
[06:57] <trevor> Not a dock...
[06:57] <bullfist> searching for available drivers**
[06:57] <trevor> It was a replacement for the KMenu in KDE, and I remember there being a big fuss about it, and it has a cup, or chalice for an icon...
[06:58] <bullfist> winston 'no proprietary drivers are in use on this system'
[06:58] <Swidgen> is there a way to cd to a directory not in the working directory tree (like if i'm in my user folder and i want to cd to the media directory) without typing the full path of the destination directory?
[06:58] <CoJaBo-Eee> arrenlex: I think I have the previous version of Kubuntu, it doesn't have the latest VLC?
[06:58] <Sierradump> jrgp_gone:  I just installed lm-sensors from package manager and I can't find it now?  Synaptec installed it - but I can't find it?
[06:58] <CCMonster> hey guys , got a question on how to do a ./configure make make install on the new ktorrent
[06:58] <jrgp_gone> it's more of a resource than a program
[06:58] <jrgp_gone> reboot to use it
[06:58] <jrgp_gone> I can't remember offhand the service to start it
[06:59] <winston_> what service?
[06:59] <CoJaBo-Eee> I found on Google deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/ubuntu hardy main which has 0.9...
[06:59] <princefarhaan> Hi All
[06:59] <bullfist> winston 'no proprietary drivers are in use on this system'
[06:59] <huwenfeng> ls
[06:59] <princefarhaan> I needed help in reclaiming space
[06:59] <princefarhaan> from the lost+found folder, I am using Intrepid
[06:59] <princefarhaan> is there a way I can regulate the space assigned to that folder?
[06:59] <princefarhaan> it is giving me 88.9 GB out of my 100 GB partition
[07:00] <winston_> bullfist- i am not sure
[07:00] <rlt> Sierradump: Issue "sudo sensors-detect", hit YES to every question, then do "sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools", then do "sudo sensors -s", then it should be set up right
[07:00] <bullfist> so how can I compile this driver so I can use it?
[07:00] <FAJ> !compile | bullfist
[07:00] <CCMonster> hey guys, if i have a tar file that i extract, but when i do a ./configure it says no file or directory, what am i doing wrong??
[07:01] <rlt> Sierradump: once it's set up, "sensors" to see temps from the command line, or if you installed the applet, add "Hardware Sensors Applet" to your panel.
[07:01] <winston_> is it executable CCmonster?
[07:01] <FAJ> CCMonster; you need to cd to the folder first
[07:01] <CCMonster> i cdd to the folder
[07:01] <CCMonster> cd /home/name/ktorren3.2beta
[07:01] <CCMonster> or w/e it is
[07:01] <CCMonster> then did ./configure
[07:01] <winston_> is it executable?
[07:01] <CCMonster> is what executable?
[07:02] <JGodbout> i am having some troubles with my nautilus. i have read some stuff on the forums about it, but havent come across any good solutions. i cannot open my trash, my Computer, Network, etc.
[07:02] <winston_> ls -l configure
[07:02] <CCMonster> ok
[07:02] <JGodbout> It says Nautilus cannot handle Computer:locations
[07:02] <FAJ> JGodbout:  try reinstalling nautilus?  just throwing it out there as a last solution
[07:02] <JGodbout> How do I do that?
[07:02] <winston_> paste in the part with the rw---x---r
[07:03] <JGodbout> I'm not an advances ubuntu user yet
[07:03] <winston_> or however it is
[07:03] <FAJ> !info nautilus | JGodbout
[07:03] <CCMonster> says, ls cannot access configure: no such file or dir
[07:03] <winston_> pwd
[07:03] <winston_> you in the right directory?
[07:03] <FAJ> JGodbout: try putting in /home
[07:03] <FAJ> does anything show up
[07:03] <CCMonster> you asking me if i am in the right dir winston_ ?
[07:03] <winston_> yeah
[07:03] <CCMonster> sure am
[07:03] <chilli0> hey all
[07:04] <chilli0> how do i know what my cpu is?
[07:04] <winston_> does pwd report it?
[07:04] <chilli0> is the a command?
[07:04] <winston_> chilli0 cat /proc/cpuinfo
[07:04] <winston_> its in that file
[07:04] <CCMonster> shouldnt i just be in the main dir of the extracted folder
[07:04] <CCMonster> or should i go to the cmake folder or something
[07:04] <bullfist> I don't understand this... if the package for XGI is supposed to support all XGI cards why the hell am I having trouble?
[07:04] <gatewaydrug> so... dfc-8440 printer running on a amd64 and 8.10 box... chops the top part of my documents... need help...
[07:04] <chilli0> okie thanks winston_
[07:05] <alex_21> Hey, I want to set up an ssh tunnel. My Ubuntu box at home is all set up on -p 22 and all, but now I cant figure out the client end. I am on a network where http is proxied and https is also proxied. What can I do? No other trafic can leave the network.
[07:05] <winston_> not sure bullfist - i really don't know enought about making stuff to help you with that
[07:05] <alex_21> ?
[07:05] <princefarhaan> Hi All
[07:05] <princefarhaan> I needed help in reclaiming space from the lost+found folder, I am using Intrepid
[07:05] <princefarhaan> it is giving me 88.9 GB out of my 100 GB partition
[07:05] <princefarhaan> is there a way I can regulate the space assigned to that folder?
[07:05] <FloodBot2> princefarhaan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:05] <CCMonster> anything else winston_ ?
[07:05] <FAJ> !hello | everyone just coming in
[07:05] <xyyl> alex21 are you using it to get online at work?
[07:05] <winston_> make sure configure is in your absolute path
[07:06] <CCMonster> absolute path?
[07:06] <trevor> Guys in Kubuntu found it...  Lancelot
[07:06] <CCMonster> as in go to that dir?
 I am using it to get online at school, because I need port 465
[07:06] <bullfist> I'm gunna email XGI those bastards
[07:06] <arrenlex> princefarhaan: You have 89 GB of files in lost+found? Do you know what that folder is used for?
[07:07] <princefarhaan> nope
[07:07] <xyyl> i am trying to do same thing
[07:07] <princefarhaan> Its a fresh partition
[07:07] <CCMonster> winston_, there is no /configure path
[07:07] <Swidgen> ﻿is there a way to cd to a directory not in the working directory tree (like if i'm in my user folder and i want to cd to the media directory) without typing the full path of the destination directory?
[07:07] <chilli0> winston_:  this is odd
[07:07] <chilli0> processor	: 0
[07:07] <princefarhaan> just copied some 40GB
 Mail is it? For me it is accessibility reasons
[07:07] <winston_> CCMonster no i mean do something like ls and see if configure in that path
 Accessibility for using mail
[07:07] <CCMonster> nope
[07:08] <arrenlex> princefarhaan: There are two parts to a file -- the file's data, and metadata like the filename, modification date, etc. When the Linux filesystem gets corrupted, it loses some metadata about some files. These files become "lost".
[07:08] <CCMonster> i just get the various folders, cmakelists.txt, and a dir called cmake
[07:08] <winston_> inode
[07:08] <xyyl> there is heavy web filtering at my work
[07:08] <winston_> CCMonster - so no configure?
[07:08] <arrenlex> princefarhaan: So the filesystem will put the file's data into lost+found with a randomly generated name, so that you can at least recover the data if you need to.
[07:08] <CCMonster> nothing, only files are changelog, CMakeLists.txt, and COPYING.txt
[07:08] <arrenlex> princefarhaan: So if you have 89 GB of files in lost+found, you have extremely serious filesystem corruption. You shouldn't ever get anything there.
 Do you know how to do this?
[07:09] <princefarhaan> oh, is there a way i can define as to how much space is allocated to that folder
[07:09] <princefarhaan> i am particularly concerned about the lost space
[07:09] <CCMonster> anyone else have the newest version of KTORRENT?
[07:09] <princefarhaan> than the folder itself
[07:09] <arrenlex> princefarhaan: You shouldn't need to. You shouldn't have stuff there. If you get files there you have problems.
[07:09] <CCMonster> 3.2beta1?
[07:09] <princefarhaan> if i delete stuff i usually dont use the trash bin
[07:09] <princefarhaan> shit+del
[07:09] <princefarhaan> oh
[07:09] <princefarhaan> i thought it was something like the recycle bin
[07:10] <fantomas> Hi all. I'm living with 8.04 and after recent autoupdate kernel whas upgraded to 2.4.26-22 while virtualbox-ose-modules lastest version is 2.4.26-21. Does this happen by someone's mistake?
[07:10] <winston_> well CCMonster it jsut seems you need to find that file
[07:10] <lance_> anyone familiar with getting ath5k into moniter mode
[07:10] <Flannel> fantomas: Do you have hardy-proposed enabled?
[07:10] <princefarhaan> I have 4 folders in my /media/multimedia partition
[07:10] <CCMonster> it doesnt appear to be anywhere
[07:10] <fantomas> Flannel: not sure, never heard about it
[07:11] <princefarhaan> arrenlex: I have 4 folders in my /media/multimedia partition
[07:11] <Flannel> fantomas: pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get update` please
[07:11] <princefarhaan> claiming 71.1 GB
[07:11] <Tazbobu> I have a sharing problem.. I can see my windows files on my ubuntu machine, but when I try to load MP3's from the windows machine, it says error loading media.. it works for video files, but not MP3 or FLAC
[07:11] <princefarhaan> and it shows that I have 244 MB left
[07:11] <alex_21> Hey, I want to set up an ssh tunnel. My Ubuntu box at home is all set up on -p 22 and all, but now I cant figure out the client end. I am on a network where http is proxied and https is also proxied. What can I do? No other trafic can leave the network.
[07:12] <princefarhaan> thats about 72 B, not able to understand where did the rest of the space go?
[07:12] <Theeb_> when will the OpenOffice 3 be available in ubuntu 8.10
[07:12] <princefarhaan> around 30 GB out of my 100 GB partition
[07:12] <fantomas> Flannel: http://pastebin.ca/1274689
[07:12] <Flannel> Theeb_: It will never be officially included.  But backports should have it sometime in the near future
[07:12] <simplexio> fantomas: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup could help you
[07:12] <Sierradump> rlt:  when I type in sensors I get 4 "core" temperatures -  Core0 Temp:  27* c  / Core0 Temp: 26* c / Core1 Temp:  33* c  / Core1 Temp: 28* c
[07:12] <Sierradump> rlt:  Does that look right?
[07:13] <princefarhaan> arrenlex: anyway i can find that space?
[07:13] <fantomas> simplexio: my vboxdrv has no such an option like 'setup'
[07:13] <simplexio> fantomas: ose ? i have that binary only version
[07:14] <alex_21> OO 3 will be available from ppa right now, or when ppa is back up
[07:14] <rlt> Sierradump: not sure why you have two of each Core... I'm guessing you're on a dual-core machine, though, which is why you have Core0 and Core1.
[07:14] <Theeb_> Flannel, 2.4 is included, why not 3?
[07:14] <arrenlex> princefarhaan: Can you explain in a different way what you want to do? I don't understand what you mean by "find that space"
[07:14] <Muhammad_Saad> Hello, which one is the most recommended way to move my Ubuntu installation to a new hard disk?
[07:14] <Flannel> Theeb_: Because OOo 3 was released too late in Intrepids cycle (it was postponed a few times)
[07:15] <rlt> Sierradump: here's the output of sensors on my machine, for comparison: http://pastebin.com/f72acc5ed
[07:15] <Sierradump> rlt:  10-4  -- just installed a dual core processor!
[07:15] <simplexio> Muhammad_Saad: all of it or just /home/ or similiar ?
[07:15] <Muhammad_Saad> ﻿simplexio, every thing.
[07:15] <alex_21> Any ssh help?
[07:15] <Tazbobu> Actually it will access the MP3/FLAC on the windows machine through totem, but Amarok will not load them
[07:16] <simplexio> Muhammad_Saad: then i recommend reinstall and then move old stuff from home
[07:16] <fantomas> simplexio: so, what does it mean - ose? :) Should I install another version?
[07:16] <Sinister`> why does everything like df stop at gb when is it going to change to TB ?
[07:16] <Sierradump> rlt:  Here is my pastebin of my sensors output:  http://pastebin.com/m3d68bd43   What do you think?
[07:16] <buu> Sinister`: What?
[07:17] <buu> Sinister`: Pretty sure my df says tb..
[07:17] <rlt> fantomas: see http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions
[07:17] <Muhammad_Saad> Any other suggestion?
[07:17] <rlt> fantomas: short version: unless you're doing weird stuff, ose should be fine.
[07:17] <arrenlex> Sierradump: You probably have two temperature sensors for each core. Perhaps one is heatsink temperature?
[07:18] <simplexio> fantomas: ose in that open source version, i use that binary only version which is free for home and non commercvial use
[07:18] <fantomas> rlt: yes, I see. So I own a copy of OSE and is not going to change it )
[07:18] <fantomas> So the problem is that Hardy maintainers forget to update VB OSE
[07:18] <Sinister`> maybe its my script that only goes to gb
[07:19] <rlt> Sierradump: not sure why you have two sensors per core, but agree with arrenlex on that. The temperatures look about right, esp. if you're not running CPU-intensive stuff right now.
[07:19] <simplexio> Muhammad_Saad: tar -cf - . | (cd <mount point of partition to recieve transfer>; tar -xvf -)  or  cp -pidRv /old_drive/* /new_drive/
[07:19] <Muhammad_Saad> If I make an image of my current hard disk and restore it later on the newer one, whch files do I need to edit other than /etc/fstab?
[07:19] <Sinister`> Disks: total: 1801.5 GB
[07:20] <simplexio> Muhammad_Saad: if you remove old hd out you need reinstall grub
[07:21] <Muhammad_Saad> ﻿simplexio, so I will need to edit fstab, grub.conf and what else?
[07:22] <simplexio> Muhammad_Saad: what you are doing to that old hard drive ?
[07:23] <Sierradump> jrgp_gone:  how do you set the Cpu1 / Cpu2 to show temperatures????
[07:23] <princefarhaan> arrenlex: at the time of install I created a 100GB ext3 partition but after I mounted it, it shows only 88.9 GB
[07:23] <Muhammad_Saad> ﻿simplexio, the old hard disk is not reliable enough to do anything with it. That is why I want to move my installation to the newer one.
[07:23] <princefarhaan> and now it has 77.1 GB of data and space left is around 250 MB
[07:24] <arrenlex> princefarhaan: There is a utility called filelight which will show you what files are using space. From the command line, you can use "du -sh <folders>"
[07:24] <Sierradump> rlt / arrenlex :  No cpu intensive applications... Just Xchat and a couple firefox windows, skype, and a terminal :)  Computer doesn't seem to be running any faster (but does show dual core)... Went from MK-36 single core 2.0ghz to TL-60 dual core 2.0ghz.
[07:25] <Sierradump> rlt / arrenlex:  just wanted to make sure I put the thermal paste on correctly :)  Had to ditch factory thermal "pad" in lieu of some thermal paste I had lying around!
[07:25] <princefarhaan> arrenlex: I am installing it as we speak
[07:25] <rlt> Sierradump: hah! Yeah, those temps look fine :)
[07:25] <princefarhaan> almost done
[07:25] <princefarhaan> i had disk usage analyser though
[07:26] <simplexio> Muhammad_Saad: in that casea i recommend that you take old hd out, install ubuntu to new hd, but old hd back to computer and move home to new installation
[07:26] <MasterAkia> hey there
[07:26] <Phubar> hello all
[07:27] <MasterAkia> is this were i can get help with a few things?
[07:27] <Muhammad_Saad> ﻿simplexio, OK. I shall think about that. Thanks for the help. :)
[07:27] <vgots> hey guys, I've just installed openjdk from standard ubuntu repos, why in some applications i have a font like courier new, well...very ugly font -_-
[07:27] <simplexio> Muhammad_Saad: why? because grub is probably installed into old hd mbr currently, removing old hd for reinstall time, ubuntu install new grub into new hd so no problems there after that
[07:27] <arrenlex> Muhammad_Saad: I run debian instead of ubuntu, but when I moved to a bigger hard drive I imaged the entire drive completely and then expanded partitions using gparted. In my case, I didn't have to edit anything.
[07:27] <ott0> when I installed wine, it seems to have configured gnome to handle windows executables--how did it do this?
[07:27] <ott0> like if i just double click on a windows exe it will open with wine
[07:28] <princefarhaan> its showing 78.6GB
[07:28] <simplexio> Muhammad_Saad: off course you can use that tar or cp command i pasted earlier and fix fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst but easiest way to do it is reinstall
[07:28] <princefarhaan> but i had created a 100GB partition
[07:28] <princefarhaan> fiels whow around 77GB
[07:28] <red_> are there any latex masters available here?
[07:28] <princefarhaan> but what about the other 20 GB :(
[07:28] <arrenlex> red_: That sounds kinky. ;)
[07:29] <arrenlex> princefarhaan: Try opening up gparted. Does gparted say your partition is the size it should be/
[07:29] <arrenlex> ?
[07:29] <red_> kinky?
[07:29] <Phubar> latex is kinky
[07:29] <MasterAkia> im having a problem with my sound, well i can here like the sounds on my headset of ppl logging in and out on my messagers and stuff, but when i get on the net and go try to listen to music and stuff it comes from my speakers, how to i fix this?
[07:29] <rlt> latex is offtopic :P
[07:29] <rlt> well, the kind two of you are thinking of, anyway :P
[07:29] <ott0> red_: what's your question
[07:30] <Phubar> lol sorry
[07:30] <MasterAkia> how do i make the sound come out of my headset only?
[07:30] <Phubar> what does it mean if BusyBox shows up insteam of the login screen
[07:30] <FAJ> MasterAkia:  plug in the headset?
[07:30] <arrenlex> Phubar: It means grub has encountered a fatal error and must shut down.
[07:31] <Phubar> grrr is there any way to fix it?
[07:31] <Muhammad_Saad> ﻿simplexio, I think I should look around for a while before making any final decision. The reason I am trying to avoid reinstall is that I am a dial-up connection user. So I do not want to re-install everything. Although I have backup for most packages but some large ones are missing. So I do not want to re-install them.
[07:31] <princefarhaan> shows 95.36 GB
[07:31] <MasterAkia> i have it pluged in i hear only the sounds from my messager on my headset everything else if coming from my speakers
[07:31] <princefarhaan> with 80GB used and 14 GB free
[07:31] <arrenlex> Phubar: Depends on the problem. This usually happens when grub can't find its config file at all. Has anything happened to the place where grub looks for its conf file?
[07:31] <ddgoose> MasterAkia, what kind of headset? usb?
[07:31] <red_> how do i use \left ... \right construction if there is end-of-line between them?
[07:32] <MasterAkia> yes usb logictech clearchat pro
[07:32] <arrenlex> Muhammad_Saad: You won't have to reinstall, you might just have to edit a few files. I did exactly what you're doing and it was fine for me.
[07:32] <Phubar> well I get the option to choose a kernel in grub and the nvidia splash the the ultimateedition thinking screen then boom BusyBox
[07:33] <Muhammad_Saad> ﻿arrenlex, I just want to make sure that I know all the files that need to be edited.
[07:33] <arrenlex> Muhammad_Saad: Only way is to try it and see. :)
[07:33] <Sierradump> rlt:  just downloaded "gkrellm"  and that shows 4 random temps and 1 cpu temp.  Cpu temp is 51* C so I am thinking processor isn't "cold" but also isn't OVERHEATING!
[07:33] <ddgoose> MasterAkia, go to System>Preferences>Sounds, make sure your logitech is set as the output in those settings
[07:33] <princefarhaan> but the data is only 78.1 GB and the space left as reported by nautilus is around 10 GB
[07:33] <princefarhaan> i still have a diference of around 12 GB
[07:33] <Muhammad_Saad> ﻿arrenlex, :D
[07:34] <Muhammad_Saad> ﻿arrenlex, I shall try it and see what happens.
[07:34] <Phubar> I dont really see any errors it is all covered by loading screens
[07:35] <Phubar> do I just have to reinstall again or can I somehow fix this?
[07:35] <MasterAkia> DDgoose: i got to sounds and i select device logitech usb headset (alsa mixer) give me 3 thing to choose from Microphone, microphone capture, and speakers. im kinda new to ubuntu like brand new lol but i dont see an output.
[07:36] <MasterAkia> i also set everything is usb audio
[07:36] <ddgoose> MasterAkia, see PM
[07:36] <M0badedr> hello all
[07:37] <arrenlex> !hi
[07:37] <MasterAkia> ddgoose: no i dont.
[07:37] <M0badedr> dose any one know where to find drivers for my DELL 330 desktop computer ????
[07:37] <vignesh> !hi
[07:37] <Geoffrey2> I'm looking to pick up a book on Ubuntu, I'm still rather a novice at Linux, and want to try and become more adept at it...possibly at some point going after the Linux+ cert....any reccomendations on a decent book/books to purchase?
[07:37] <arrenlex> M0badedr: Drivers for what?
[07:38] <Muhammad_Saad> ﻿arrenlex, just one more question: In menu.lst, I see lines like "root=UUID=2d1d543f-8b19-48c4-9988-cc010e6eb525". Can I set it as "root=/dev/sdax"?
[07:38] <M0badedr> Desktop computer DELL 330
[07:38] <vignesh> M0badedr, what drivers ?
[07:38] <M0badedr> in general
[07:38] <arrenlex> M0badedr: What doesn't work?
[07:39] <arrenlex> Muhammad_Saad: In theory, but mine are set using the grub notation -- root (hd0,4) <- represents sda5
[07:39] <M0badedr> actuel i have a problem that i cann't restart my desktop
[07:40] <Muhammad_Saad> ﻿arrenlex, is it like root=(hd0,0) or root (hd0,0)?
[07:41] <simplexio> Muhammad_Saad: then like i said, remove hd, reinstall, put hd pack, then mount old hd to /mn/old and copy /mnt/old/var/cache/apt/archive to new install
[07:41] <arrenlex> Muhammad_Saad: There are both types. There are some lines which have "root" and those look like "root            (hd0,4)". There are other lines where root is part of the kernel line and those look like "kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-686 root=/dev/sda5 ro quiet"
[07:41] <binarymutant> is there a quick tool to convert avi to whatever codec a home dvd-player uses(.vob I guess)?
[07:41] <simplexio> Muhammad_Saad: if you look now to /var/cache/apt/archive there should be all thise .deb packages what you have downloaded
[07:42] <Liqunantoru> ns
[07:42] <Phubar> so anyone know about this magical BusyBox boo boo grub crashed thing and how I can fix?
[07:42] <Muhammad_Saad> ﻿simplexio, I know that but many large files have been auto-deleted.
[07:43] <Muhammad_Saad> It seems like I need some time to think about both opinions. :)
[07:43] <arvind_khadri> hi, how can i install vmware?
[07:44] <elatio> Hey guys, I accidentally deleted the panel that has the taskbar(all current open apps) and I was wondering how to add that to my new panel?
[07:44] <Muhammad_Saad> See you both later ﻿arrenlex and simplexio. :) And thanks a lot.
[07:44] <tomcheng76> hi all, compiz + vnc => slow screen refresh rate ?
[07:44] <arvind_khadri> ok i read the factoid of the bot... is virtualbox nice enough?
[07:45] <arrenlex> ttyl
[07:45] <simplexio> arvind_khadri: its better for everything else than gaming
[07:45] <arvind_khadri> simplexio, i wanted for that only :)
[07:45] <simplexio> arvind_khadri: :)
[07:46] <arvind_khadri> simplexio, any idea about vmware?
[07:46] <tomcheng76> arvind_khadri: dual boot is the best for you
[07:47] <arvind_khadri> tomcheng76, hmm ya i too feel so..
[07:47] <simplexio> arvind_khadri: last time i tried it i downloaded package from vmare site and run it. thought i have no idea what is free nowdays
[07:47] <Phubar> can anyone help me with my crash issue and this busybox thing? or do I just need to reinstall again?
[07:47] <arvind_khadri> simplexio, its asking me to give so many details :)
[07:47] <simplexio> arvind_khadri: what you want to play, wine is probaqbly faster option
[07:48] <simplexio> arvind_khadri: one of the reason i dont use vmware, another is that it has sooo slow io
[07:48] <princefarhaan> arrenlex: gparted shows 14 GB Unused
[07:48] <simplexio> arvind_khadri: if game works in wine
[07:48] <tomcheng76> arvind_khadri: vmware have experimental support for Direct3D, but i sure it is not the best solution.
[07:48] <arvind_khadri> simplexio, NFSMW  and some maps of CS dont work :)
[07:49] <arvind_khadri> simplexio, tomcheng76 dual boot is the way to go i guess :)
[07:49] <princefarhaan> according to gparted - /media/files = 15GB unused, /media/multimedia = 5GB unused
[07:50] <tomcheng76> compiz + vnc => slow screen refresh rate ? anyone help :) i am using vnc and it is slow :)
[07:50] <princefarhaan> and according to nautilis
[07:50] <Phubar> anyone? anyone at all?
[07:50] <simplexio> tomcheng76: remoce compiz :D
[07:51] <tomcheng76> simplexio: i have a custom setting of ccsm, will my setting reset later after re-enabling it?
[07:51] <simplexio> tomcheng76: no idea, i dont use compiz

[08:03] <Firefishe> Hello, all.  I was just wondering.  What's the condition of 64 bit ubuntu?  Does it support flash, java, and intel 82801I (IH9) sound?

[08:03] <rlt> Firefishe: it does flash, yes. not sure about the other two
[08:03] <TecR0c> rlt,  i tried that command and i found nothin. grep auth.log
[08:04] <tomcheng76> Tyrath: strange, can you remove the package compeletely and reinstall gftp? using synaptic software manager
[08:05] <rlt> techqbert: what command exactly did you use? I just did "grep myusername /var/log/auth.log" and it worked fine =/
[08:05] <Firefishe> rlt:  I'm waiting for my 64 bit cd from Canonical.  I'm using 64 bit debian lenny right now and I am forced to use the oss deb binary from opensound.com.  I have sound with that, but flash in (ugh! in advance...) iceweasel binds with alsa...and is not seeing oss.  I was just wondering if ubuntu64 had dealt with this oss issue or not?
[08:05] <donkeyboy> is there anyway of finding the ip address of a samba share? If I only have the smb://machine
[08:05] <TecR0c> rlt,  i tried that command and i found nothin. grep auth.log
[08:05] <rlt> Firefishe: dunno, I don't use flash as a rule. I just remember it working (about as well as flash usually does, anyway)
[08:05] <rlt> Firefishe: ... last time I set it up on someone else's computer.
[08:06] <rlt> TecR0c: I read that the last time you said it.
[08:06] <tomcheng76> Firefishe: alsa not working in debian ?
[08:06] <ddgoose> donkeyboy, nmblookup <host>
[08:06] <TecR0c> oh ok i am sorry.
[08:06] <TecR0c> just that i am having no luck with it =/

Why is the network manager invoked anyway?  I don't have a nm icon ...
[08:07] <rlt> TecR0c: if you're saying you just put in "grep auth.log", that's not the right way to use it. You want "grep THINGTOSEARCHFORGOESHERE /var/log/auth.log". For example, "grep TTY /var/log/auth.log" or "grep rms /var/log/auth.log" or something.
[08:08] <Firefishe> tomcheng76: Well, let me augment that.  Sound works through the laptop speakers, but not through the headphone jack.

[08:08] <tomcheng76> Firefishe: ic..then ubuntu have great chance don't work too.Since it repackage from debian.

[08:08] <FAJ> and try there
[08:09] <furythor1> I will try that
[08:09] <ddgoose> furythor1, nvidia-settings
[08:09] <Firefishe> tomcheng76:  Yeah, and this is 64 bit, too.
[08:09] <furythor1> or you mean "nvidia x server settings" ?
[08:10] <FAJ> furythor1: no nvidia-settings

[08:11] <christianp> hi all
[08:11] <Tyrath> my bad it turns out that ftp was working
[08:11] <Tyrath> it just doesn't accept the name@host:port syntax

[08:13] <tomcheng76> Tyrath: yup, great for novice, bad for us, so i use command prompt :)
[08:13] <Tyrath> does anyone know how I can pipe files within the ftp program?
[08:13] <christianp> i have an old laptop without boot from usb support. I have already a usb pen drive containing 8.10, but i can't boot from usb to install. Is there a fast way to start booting from usb (booting from a cd with an older ubuntu) and then start the usb installation? or i have to burn a cd with the iso for 8.10?
[08:13] <Tyrath> within meaning that the ftp program is already running
[08:14] <tomcheng76> Tyrath : you mean transfer file from one ftp server to another ftp server?
[08:15] <Tyrath> tomcheng76: nope all I want to do is pipe files displayed using ftp (ie, ls) into vim
[08:15] <Tyrath> tomcheng76: and ftp> blah.txt | vim  doesn't work :/
[08:17]  * Tyrath thinks ftp definately needs some plugins if it really is as limited as it seems to be
[08:18] <Sharp_eyes_> hi all
[08:18] <Sharp_eyes_> do any tell me how can i use nokia pcsuite software in ubuntu
[08:19] <tomcheng76> Sharp_eyes: best bet is wine or Virtualbox :-)
[08:20] <enzotib> Tyrath, vim cannot accept input from a pipe
[08:20] <furythor1> Well, my problem is that Ubuntu can't detect properly screen resolutions that could be used.
[08:20] <Decepticon_> is there some package that will put a pastebin on my apache?
[08:20] <FAJ> furythor1:  nvidia-settings, really helps,  if it's an viewsonic monitor try removing xserver-xgl.

[08:31] <tomcheng76> Sharp_eyes_: winehq rated grabage for nokia pc suite, your best solution is try using virtual machines or dual booting of windows
[08:31] <ziroday> JGodbout: what does typing in Trash:/// do?
[08:31] <th3nux3r> JGodbout: delete folder .nautilus in your home
[08:32] <th3nux3r> and reinstalled
[08:32] <Sharp_eyes_> virtual machines is some software??
[08:32] <ph8> hi guys, after the computer's been on for 9 or 10 hours i seem to lose the ability to open applications
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> JGodbout: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/189288
[08:32] <ph8> any idea what could cause that?
[08:32] <ziroday> ph8: what does opening them up in the terminal say?
[08:33] <ph8> this is only through X, i can still run stuff on the command line
[08:33] <Firefishe> ph8:  cpu overheating
[08:33] <bullgard4> JGodbout: Try to narrow down the culprit by opening Nautilus with typing 'nautilus' in a GNOME terminal and analyze the error messages that appear then.
[08:33] <ph8> they seem to be starting i.e. they don't crash in terminal
[08:33] <ph8> but no window appears
[08:33] <Firefishe> ph8: as one suggestion
[08:33] <ph8> Firefishe:  Actually?
[08:33] <tomcheng76> Sharp_eyes: like Virtualbox, vmware. Allow you to run windows inside linux
[08:33] <ziroday> ph8: okay, is your CPU usage excessively high after 10 hours, or are you running out of ram?
[08:33] <Maveas> !path
[08:34] <ziroday> Firefishe: CPU overheating would not explain why opening applications does not work after 10 hours

[08:35] <paul68> if I use cloning to make an exact copy of the installed programs is it also going to include the drivers for the wifi or do I have to add them seperatly?
[08:35] <ziroday> Firefishe: if the CPU was overheating the computer would shut down, not refuse to open apps
[08:35] <ziroday> paul68: did you install the drivers from a package?
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> paul68: how did you instal them?
[08:36] <paul68> ziroday: no its installed with ndiswrapper for the bcm driver I have
[08:37] <ziroday> paul68: then the ndiswrapper package will be installed but no configured if all you are backing up is the pacakge list/packages
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> paul68: then that will need reinstating, but ndiswrapper will travel over

[08:39] <JGodbout> I am using 8.04
[08:39] <Myrtti> Sharp_eyes_: good luck with that.
[08:39] <ziroday> Sharp_eyes_: AFAIK there is no linux version of the nokia PC suite
[08:39] <JGodbout> And I have installed all the latest updates for it
[08:39] <Myrtti> there is no linux version.
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> JGodbout: the trash has changed but if you symlink it it will achieve the same end
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> Sharp_eyes_: i'd try find alernatives to achieve what you want to do rather than trying to run windows software
[08:40] <Myrtti> Sharp_eyes_: your best bet is getting vmware (not virtualbox), setting up Windows in it and trying with that, if you really want to try it.
[08:40] <ziroday> ActionParsnip: that does not fix his issues with Network:/// and Computer:/// not working
[08:40] <Myrtti> Sharp_eyes_: also, if your phone is s60v3, gammu/wammu will not most likely work.
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: apparently you have to downgrade gvfs
[08:40] <Maveas> ActionParsnip: Thanks :)
[08:40] <JGodbout> How do I symlink it?
[08:40] <JGodbout> Or is that what you said above/

[08:41] <JGodbout> Oh ok
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> ziroday: its a known bug
[08:41] <JGodbout> But what about my other problems with Network and Computer?

[08:42] <Myrtti> Sharp_eyes_: what do you want to do with PC suite?
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> Sharp_eyes_: if you are syncing address book or data files you can do that with other apps
[08:42] <ddgoose> bullgard4, what does "schedule" mean where you are from?
[08:43] <Sharp_eyes_> hmm
[08:43] <Sharp_eyes_> ActionParsnip: which software

[08:43] <ActionParsnip> Sharp_eyes_: not sure but im VERY sure it will exist
[08:43] <Maveas> Sharp_eyes_: Take a look at http://tuxmobil.org/phones_linux_nokia_other.html
[08:43] <Sharp_eyes_> but i dont hve bluetooth
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> Sharp_eyes_: then transfer the data like a usb hard drive

[08:44] <ActionParsnip> Sharp_eyes_: what address program are you syncing with?

[08:48] <JGodbout> Yes they are installed
[08:48] <Sharp_eyes_> ActionParsnip: ok
[08:48] <JGodbout> Instead of doing it your way, I just did sudo apt-get install packagename for each of them, and they were all up to date
[08:48] <ziroday> JGodbout: okay, can you open up nautilus via the terminal and try to access Computer:///
[08:48] <bullgard4> BlueEagle: Thank you for explaining.
[08:48] <reqqit> *($($* it found it
[08:49] <bullgard4> ddgoose: grrr
[08:49] <apinunt_> ziroday: That we do. But we would like to know how we can make utf8 permanent?
[08:49] <ziroday> apinunt_: if ANSI appears there can you remove it?
[08:49] <systm> im using the easy_e17.sh to install e17, but when it gets to etk, its saying that i dont have a cvs client, when i clearly do
[08:49] <ddgoose> bullgard4, It can also mean " a written or printed list, catalog, or inventory" that's why I asked
[08:50] <JGodbout> ziroday: No, it doesn't work
[08:50] <apinunt_> ziroday: It appears as the current locale and we cannot remove it.
[08:50] <ziroday> JGodbout: and no messages/errors in the terminal?
[08:50] <systm> well, maybe i dont, what is a good cvs client?
[08:50] <JGodbout> Correct
[08:51] <ziroday> apinunt_: sorry, I have no clue then
[08:51] <JGodbout> The error message that comes up on nautilus though is "Couldn't find "/home/jacob/Computer:". Please check the spelling and try again
[08:51] <ziroday> JGodbout: okay, try reinstall the gvfs pacakges
[08:51] <JGodbout> Ok
[08:52] <Neurologic> I keep getting blank, empty pages in firefox, does anyone why? clearly well established websites, google, etc
[08:52] <apinunt_> Anyone else know what to do?

[08:53] <Maveas> If I want PHP is the best choise OpenPGP.org then?
[08:54] <Maveas> PGP* sorry :)
[08:54] <bazhang> Maveas, that is something entirely different
[08:54] <Neurologic> ActionParsnip, ehm, ok, I see a webpage, but...My preferences are gone?
[08:55] <Maveas> bazhang: I know what PHP && PGP is - and it's PGP I want :)
[08:55] <bazhang> !info gnupg | Maveas
[08:55] <rlt> Maveas: OpenPGP is a standard, not a program. gnupg is probably what you want :)
[08:56] <Maveas> rlt: Ups :)
[08:56] <mker> Maveas, Seahorse comes with Ubuntu, it's a front-end for managing PGP and SSH keys. Check applications -> accessories -> password & encryption keys
[08:57] <Neurologic> and it's happening again -_-
[08:57] <Neurologic> Except all my settings are gone.
[08:57] <Maveas> bazhang, rlt, mker: thanks, you guys are great :)
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> Neurologic: then we know your profile was screwy, you can either rename back and troubleshoot the old profile, or continue with new and rebuild
[08:57] <Maveas> everybodyelse: you are also great :)
[08:57] <bikak0> hello all! what is the best program for editing bash in windows? i know zend&dreamweaver for php, so what is the best program for easy bash editing? ... thanks!
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> !best | bikak0
[08:58] <Maveas> The entire OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITY is great :D
[08:58] <Neurologic> ActionParsnip, well, it's happening again
[08:58] <Neurologic> ActionParsnip, Is it because of an addon maybe? O_O
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> Neurologic: could be, try uninstalling some
[08:59] <Neurologic> ActionParsnip, I use adblock and flashblock
[08:59] <niklaus> does anyone have gdm latest /
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> try uninstalling one and testing, if same, reinstall and remove the other
[08:59] <Maveas> Which type of encryption do I have to use?
[08:59] <mker> Maveas, for what?
[09:00] <Maveas> To encrypt emails and files?
[09:00] <simplexio> bikak0: nano with ysntax highliting
[09:01] <mker> Maveas, I'd go with the default settings in Seahorse. Encryption type: DSA Elgamal - Key strength: 2048 (at least)
[09:01] <niklaus> what is the latest version of ubuntu ?
[09:02] <rlt> !intrepid | niklaus
[09:03] <tomcheng76> !Jackalope
[09:03] <mker> Maveas, Remember that a good password is very important. There are some good links at the bottom of this page. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Password_policy#External_links
[09:04] <Maveas> mker: thanks, but do know how to make a good one
[09:04] <niklaus> i have hardy , how do i upgrade to interpid ? i have the udpate manager saying 177 packages to be updated . Just install that or anything special
[09:04] <rlt> Geh, just remembered that I need to go make a gpg key for my new email address >.>
[09:04] <rlt> !upgrade | niklaus
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> niklaus: yep you need to download a tonne of stuff to step up to intrepid
[09:05] <zetheroo> for the first time since using Linux I have decided to revert back to Hardy after having far too many major and minor issues with Intrepid - including kernel panics. I suggest that if you are someone who wants to use your time at the computer to actually use it to get what you need to do done that you stick with Hardy until the next release or until Intrepid gets a serious batch of fixes .... otherwise you may find yourself spending most of your
[09:05] <lihao> hello
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo: worked flawlessly for me as with other people
[09:06] <niklaus> ActionParsnip, is this upgrade the same as interpid or it needs a seperate download ? The Red arrow facing downwards usually at the top right of menu bar
[09:06] <lihao> this is come from China,anyother?
[09:06] <rlt> !cn | lihao
[09:06] <ziroday> zetheroo: what wireless card do you have?
[09:06] <Maveas> lihao: "this is come"?
[09:06] <Neurologic> ActionParsnip, Is there a way to restore my original profile?
[09:06] <Maveas> lihao: Do you come from China? :)
[09:06] <zetheroo> ﻿ActionParsnip: I am sure that is the case with many ... but there are seemingly just as many who are having serious issues ... esp those with laptops
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> niklaus: if you upgrade, you will be running intrepid. I dont understand what you are asking
[09:06] <mker> zetheroo, I think it depends on your hardware. Like ActionParsnip I haven't had a single problem.
[09:06] <zetheroo> ﻿ziroday: Atheros
[09:07] <wartalker> Maveas: i come from china
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> Neurologic: mv ~/.mozilla_old ~/.mozilla
[09:07] <Maveas> wartalker: cool
[09:07] <lihao> yes
[09:07] <ziroday> zetheroo: okay. there goes my theory
[09:07] <nighost> me too,I anm from china..
[09:07] <zetheroo> ﻿mker: I am aware of that ... I don't think its right however to be telling people to chnage their hardware to make Ubuntu work .
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> Neurologic: the .mozilla directory holds all your fluff for firefox, if that folder doesnt exist you will get a fresh / stock one
[09:07] <lihao> yee ,so mush here
[09:07] <zetheroo> ﻿ziroday: :)
[09:08] <thomasite> Hello. How do launch Sound Juicer through the terminal? Thanks!
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> Neurologic: we renamed it so we could roll back, stupid people would have told you to delete it, I always enable the ability to roll back
[09:08] <ziroday> thomasite: try sound-juicer
[09:08] <Neurologic> ActionParsnip, Oh, great, thank you
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> thomasite: try typing sound and pressing tab
[09:09] <thomasite> Thanks, ziroday and ActionParsnip.
[09:09] <Neurologic> ActionParsnip, err, except, my preferences aren't there?
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> thomasite: or you could edit your menu to see what command the gui menu item you click executes
[09:09] <thomasite> How do I do that? Add/Remove?
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> Neurologic: they should be, we have simply moved the profile folder back to from when we started
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> Neurologic: you need to relaunch firefox
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> Neurologic: to use the new settings
[09:10] <Neurologic> ActionParsnip, I did, and the settings are still on there defaults
[09:11] <zetheroo> far too many Ubuntu users are trying to assist people with kernel panics to do the following: "just change your wifi card" etc .... I think this is really silly and should be discouraged for a multitude of reasons. It should be presented in a way that says "you can change your wifi card and it may do the trick, but its still a problem with Ubuntu and not the hardware". I am of course talking about hardware that worked fine with Hardy and no long
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> thomasite: its in your gnome menu
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> Neurologic: then i am unsure, the profile copy from then back preserves the settings
[09:12] <Neurologic> ActionParsnip, Ah I fixed it, nevermind =)
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> Neurologic: what was it?
[09:12] <Neurologic> ActionParsnip, Needed to move the contents of mozilla old's firefox folder to the /.mozilla/firefox folder
[09:12] <Giraffe> zetheroo, i think they just really messed up with wi-fi
[09:12] <Neurologic> Because that's where the profile, and profile data is
[09:13] <Giraffe> my wireless card worked just fine until i upgraded to 8.10; now i can't connect to networks that are encrypted with WPA/WPA2 personal
[09:13] <thomasite> Thanks.
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> Neurologic: that should have copied when you renamed the .mozilla folder, its a subfolder...well its ok now so you're ok
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> Neurologic: you may wanna try: sudo chown -R <your user name> ~/.mozilla
[09:13] <Neurologic> ActionParsnip, I thought kill was a process command, we didn't rename stuff, did we? O_O
[09:13] <Neurologic> killall, I mean
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> Neurologic: mv = move = rename
[09:14] <Neurologic> Oh
[09:14] <Giraffe> does anybody know what to do about getting WPA to work with 8.10?
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> !wpa | Giraffe
[09:14] <Neurologic> Hm, dunno why it was weird then
[09:14] <thomasite> I have a problem, though. Sound Juice won't read my CD as the CD is composed of four folders with mp3 files in them. Unlike the previous CD, whose files are not inside any folder, that I used Sound Juice on. Please help me. Thanks!
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: you need to install and configure the wpa supplicant
[09:15] <Ohmu> Can anyone help me?  I've just uopgraded to Ibex and my Wireless AP isn't functioning: 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' gives error 'iniparser: syntax error in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf (4): -> ifupdown].  looking into the file, just this: '[main]  plugins=ifupdown,keyfile        [ifupdown]   managed=false'   What's going on?  Why is the network manager invoked anyway?  I don't have a nm icon ...
[09:15] <Giraffe> ActionParsnip, it already is installed
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: have you configured it?
[09:15] <Giraffe> i've no idea how
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: its all in that link ubottu gave you, you dont just install the supplicant, it needs config
[09:16] <Giraffe> i have the network i want to connect to in wpa_supplicant.conf, but it's not broadcast
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> Ohmu: what if you rename that file? can you resetup wifi?
[09:16] <Giraffe> and it would seem that the ssid needs to be broadcast for wpa_supplicant to find it
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: read that guide it will tell all
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: i dont use wpa myself so i dont have first hand experience
[09:19] <scientes_> how do i remove a sit?
[09:20] <Giraffe> ActionParsnip, this doesn't really help
[09:20] <Giraffe> it's still complaining that it can't find the network
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: is your router broadcasting ssid?
[09:21] <Giraffe> no
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: then make it broadcast, then pair up, then stop the broadcast
[09:21] <ziroday> thomasite: if the files are already .mp3's why can't you just copy them off?
[09:22] <Giraffe> ActionParsnip, it isn't my router, it's in a building shared with other residents
[09:22] <ghaleb> hello, I have a space problem and don't know how to list directory sizes
[09:22] <fosco_> ghaleb: cd / ; du -sh *
[09:23] <zetheroo> ﻿Giraffe: I cannot disagree with you there
[09:23] <ghaleb> fosco_: let me show it in different way, my / is 99% filled , I want to know where the space lost
[09:23] <fosco_> ghaleb: cd / ; du -sh *
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: then i'd set your wifi to connect even if the ssid is not found
[09:24] <zetheroo> ﻿Giraffe: the sad thing is that Ubuntu is getting more and more popular and as such is more open to criticism than ever before ... and with a "slip" like this one its not going to look good for Ubuntu in the IT News
[09:24] <fosco_> it will show the size of each directory
[09:24] <ghaleb> fosco_: yeah that helps ;) thanks
[09:24] <Giraffe> ActionParsnip, it doesn't say how to in that link, just to set scan_ssid to 1
[09:24] <Giraffe> and that doesn't really do anything...
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> fosco_: i'd pipe that into less ;)
[09:25] <Giraffe> zetheroo, yeah
[09:25] <ghaleb> the log is 8.2 G!!!!!!!
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: then you could use another app to setup wifi , or manually edit /etc/network/interfaces to set it up.
[09:25] <Giraffe> ActionParsnip, i could, but shouldn't this be something that the OS should be able to do?
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: if you manually edit the interfaces file then network apps won't work as that config file will superceded
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: well, it is the OS ;)
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: thats the way I always do it personally
[09:26] <zetheroo> ﻿Giraffe: on my wife's laptop (HP DV5) the sound is all quirky ... which was not in Hardy .... I have read other things about people having kernel panics in Intrepid possibly caused by sound devices as well ... so its even more than Wifi I think
[09:26] <Giraffe> ActionParsnip, that's fine, and i like doing things by hand sometimes too, but i specifically use ubuntu to avoid that
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: you could try installing wifi-radar maybe it has more suitable options
[09:27] <heri> ...
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[09:27] <zetheroo> ﻿ActionParsnip: I used to use Wicd all the time in the place of gnome-network-manager ... but in Intrepid it was totally screwing up the connections .... very odd
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo: i just edit the file. simple
[09:28] <Giraffe> zetheroo, i had the same issue
[09:28] <zetheroo> ﻿ActionParsnip: edit the file? ... you mean the config file for Wicd?
[09:28] <zetheroo> ﻿Giraffe: really ... no kidding
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo: no, /etc/network/interfaces
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: its cool you are ok with editting config files. loads of users stamp their feet and refuse unless there is a pretty gui to click on
[09:30] <Giraffe> ActionParsnip, i know, and i know i need to get my hands dirty every now and again
[09:30] <Giraffe> but i feel like this is just meaningless labor
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> Giraffe: good lad
[09:30] <zetheroo> ﻿ActionParsnip: why should we need to edit files manually when there is a GUI for that? .... I mean isn't it all a bit circular?
[09:31] <Sagaci> can someone point me somewhere to learn more about the terminal program and how to use it
[09:31] <Giraffe> or rather, i find it more than a bit frustrating when a feature that used to work no longer does work, yet this is an upgrade to my system
[09:31] <zetheroo> ﻿Giraffe: ironic, no!?
[09:31] <ziroday> Sagaci: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[09:31] <Giraffe> zetheroo, it is indeeed
[09:31] <Giraffe> indeed*
[09:31] <Giraffe> Sagaci, hmm...
[09:31] <ziroday> Sagaci: anything in particular you are trying to achieve?
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo: I find conf files easier, the best one is smb.conf. I have shown countless slews of people how easy that files syntax is, they can then add shares on the fly via ssh
[09:32] <zetheroo> ﻿Giraffe: you would think that an upgrade would work like before but with added features and benefits .... :)
[09:32] <Giraffe> zetheroo, yeah, imagine that :P
[09:32] <Finnish> Occasionally my laptop does not output sound to actual outputs, headphones, but stays on laptop speakers. How to resolve this?
[09:33] <Sagaci> trying to figure out how to navigate and use commands and install tar packages.. have already installed adobe flash, but would like to be more flexible and know how to do it off hand
[09:33] <ziroday> Finnish: you are running intrepid?
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo: the fact that there is a !terminal factoid really depresses me
[09:33] <Finnish> Yeah, intrepid
[09:33] <ziroday> Finnish: can you open the volume control and go the switches section. Does anything show up?
[09:33] <adam7> Sagaci: if it is installed, that is the proper way to do it :)
[09:34] <Sagaci> of course, but I'd like to know how to install adobe reader now
[09:34] <Syrre> hello again ActionParsnip =P ... just stopped by to see if you had any more neat little proggys thats more or less needed, tilda was one in a million, really like that one =P
[09:34] <Giraffe> zetheroo, here's my dilemma: everything but wpa personal seems to work.  wpa enterprise (of all things) works juuust fine.
[09:34] <Finnish> ziroday: Yeah, I can see switces, or volumes
[09:35] <ph8> ActionParsnip:  Sorry for delayed response, restarting the x server fixes it, but this has happened multiple times
[09:35] <zetheroo> ﻿ActionParsnip: you are probably right in saying that it is easy ... but the thing is that Linux is trying to move away from that ... as most users will be totally against touching a text config file ... and so they should be as the world is moving progressively forward
[09:35] <Giraffe> zetheroo, this in tandem with suspend finally working along with desktop effects wokring
[09:35] <Giraffe> working*
[09:35] <ziroday> Finnish: no, there is a tab at the top left that says switches
[09:35] <ziroday> Finnish: under the Switches tab is there any checkboxes?
[09:35] <zetheroo> ﻿Giraffe: sorry about that ... I am just not going to be able to help you much .... :)
[09:35] <Giraffe> zetheroo, i know, i'm just ranting :P
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> ph8: are you fully updated?
[09:36] <Sagaci> what's the difference between a tar file and a tar.gz file
[09:36] <Finnish> ziroday: all I can see is this http://stashbox.org/312302/Screenshot-Volume%20Control%3A%20HDA%20ATI%20SB%20%28Alsa%20mixer%29.png
[09:36] <_SkittleLinux18> so, I am willing to bet some serious cash that there is someone in here named Devils_Casper
[09:36] <ph8> ActionParsnip:  Yup
[09:36] <ziroday> Finnish: ah okay thats fine. And gets rid of my idea. Sorry
[09:36] <Giraffe> _SkittleLinux18, type Devils_ and hit tab :P
[09:36] <ph8> I have proposed loaded, but should that be causing this?
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo: all i say is "if it works", gui clearly doesnt work, so off to text land we trot
[09:37] <Giraffe> but before you do, i take you up on your bet!
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> ph8: proposed?
[09:37] <ph8> the proposed repositories
[09:37] <ph8> intrepid-proposed
[09:37] <Caesi> hullo, I have a 3G internet connection and can't set up a VPN connection under Ubuntu 8.10 - any ideas why? thanks :)
[09:37] <_SkittleLinux18> haha... ok, so maybe not right this second... but i am willing to bet he's in here often!

[09:53] <ikonia> intelicon: you've been told
[09:53] <piffero> hallo i would like to control a tty (console) with a command like grep /dev/tty5 | grep ass
[09:53] <Caesi> ActionParsnip: seems to work, but I don't know all the details hehe
[09:53] <piffero> but i get the tty locked
[09:53] <Caesi> ta
[09:53] <piffero> how could i do that
[09:53] <piffero> ?
[09:53] <ikonia> piffero: tty's don't work like that
[09:54] <piffero> indeed
[09:54] <piffero> its a different file
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> Caesi: you need the ip you are connecting to, username and password
[09:54] <ikonia> piffero: and those commands of grep make no sense
[09:54] <piffero> ups i mend
[09:54] <Caesi> I only have the address
[09:54] <BruceChang> rlt: Thank you very much for your information.
[09:54] <piffero> cat /dev/tty5 | grep ass
[09:54] <rlt> ghaleb: run "sudo du -a --si /var/log | sort -nr"... if my command-line-fu is working today, that'll tell you the large stuff in /var/log.
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> Caesi: then unless the vpn requires no authentiction (HIGHLY doubtful) you wont get a connection
[09:55] <ziroday> how can I define how many tty's I have as well as what resolution they are at?
[09:55] <Caesi> it does :)
[09:55] <Caesi> ok, but ta
[09:55] <piffero> ikonia: how do i do that?
[09:55] <ikonia> ziroday: the resolution will be set atthe frambuffer, the number of tty's is either set at init or as a kernal parameter
[09:55] <ikonia> piffero: how do you do what ?
[09:55] <piffero> how do i control a tty
[09:55] <ikonia> piffero: login to it
[09:55] <ziroday> ikonia: ah right thanks. Is there a framebuffer .conf file or something?
[09:56] <rlt> ziroday: resolution is defined by vga= option to kernel (set it in /boot/grub/menu.lst in I think the def-options section, then update-grub)
[09:56] <koudelka_> ziroday, well, nothing. it just crashes as i try and start it
[09:56] <ikonia> ziroday: nah, kernel boot parameter, normally "vga=" then a number, you can use vga=ask to get some ideas
[09:56] <piffero> no somelse logged
[09:56] <piffero> i want to "control" the user
[09:56] <ikonia> piffero: then they have the lock on that tty
[09:56] <ziroday> ikonia: rlt: Thanks!
[09:56] <ikonia> piffero: that is not how tty's are used
[09:56] <Ohmu> ActionParsnip, now  'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart'  succeeds, but 'sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart' fails.  says ' check syslog for diagnostics.' How to find syslog?  'sudo ls / -a -R | grep 'syslog' doesn't show the path.
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> Ohmu: theres a log viewing app in gnome someplace
[09:57] <rlt> ziroday: as for number of ttys, it's either in /etc/default/console-setup or somewhere else that I forget (... that wasn't really helpful, now that I got done typing it =/)
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> its in the menus
[09:58] <simplexio> Ohmu: logs are in  /var/log/
[09:58] <onx> Ohmu: "less /var/log/messages" or "tail -n #oflines /var/log/messages"
[09:59] <rlt> ziroday: oh, I remember. If the console-setup edit doesn't do it, edit the ttyn files in /etc/event.d/ for the ttys you don't want and comment out the start lines
[10:00] <ziroday> rlt: Thanks!
[10:02] <ghaleb> what package to remove sm-mta  ?
[10:02] <Vinceman> what does the paranthesed number mean after a program?
[10:02] <node357> Vinceman, the section of the manual it's under
[10:02] <Flannel> Vinceman: Where?
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> Vinceman: can you give an example
[10:03] <rlt> Vinceman: section number. You could do man section page if there's more than one command with the same name in a different section.
[10:03] <Vinceman> Usually udev runs as udevd(8) and receives uevents directly from the
[10:03] <Vinceman>        kernel if a device is added or removed from the system.
[10:03] <XB23> hey guys whats the best out of these  helm, cpanel, directadmin or plesk
[10:03] <rlt> Vinceman: so in that example, man 8 udevd
[10:03] <rlt> !best | XB23
[10:03] <lancao8> May I ask how to make the sound works when Winxp Virtualed on ubuntu?
[10:03] <ikonia> XB23: thats personal opinion, try them see what YOU like, for the record they are all poor
[10:04] <Vinceman> but there is no man 7 udevd
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> lancao8: if its in virtualbox, boot the system then click machine -> install guest additions
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> lancao8: you also need sound configured in the virtual machine's config
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> XB23: you need to lose the word "best" when it comes to software packages. it makes no sense
[10:05] <g33k_gir1> I have installed kubuntu, but KDE 4 is driving me nuts -- random crashes, hangs, reboots. Seriously, I can't work like this. How do I switch to Ubuntu/Gnome?
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> XB23: for example, which is "best", coke or pepsi?
[10:05] <lancao8> For my ubuntu sound works ok, but for the win xp under ubuntu it doesnot work
[10:06] <rlt> ActionParsnip: coke
[10:06] <Flannel> g33k_gir1: install "ubuntu-desktop", to get rid of kde as well... follow this
[10:06] <ikonia> g33k_gir1: install thepackage ubuntu-desktop
[10:06] <Flannel> !puregnome | g33k_gir1
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> rlt: im a pepsi man, but neither is better than the other
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> hi g33k_gir1
[10:06] <Vinceman> Snaction parnip
[10:06] <g33k_gir1> ActionParsnip: hey AP
[10:06] <rlt> Flannel: heh, I hadn't seen !puregnome before. That's really useful :)
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> lancao8: then you need it enabled in the vm and install the guest additions
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> !purekde
[10:07] <Othbarty> Is it a way I can force subversion clients commiting to a repository to be version 1.5 or newer? would be lovely :D
[10:07] <Ohmu> oh.  ifconfig shows my wlan0 has disappeared.  How to bring it up?  /etc/network/interfaces looks ok... I have 'auto wlan0'
[10:07] <rlt> Othbarty: if you don't get an answer here, ask in the subversion channel, #svn
[10:07] <ikonia> Ohmu: asskin the subversion support channels
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> Ohmu: sudo ifup wlan0
[10:08] <Othbarty> ikaros: i did, no answer =/ Was hoping to have more luck here, 1295 ppl >>>> 177 :P
[10:08] <ikonia> Othbarty: config support is in the subversion support channels
[10:08] <Oli``> Why does Eclipse crash so much and is there any way to make it more stable? Not the most helpful question in the world but I'm open to suggestions if there's a recognised way to find out why it's crashing...
[10:09] <Ohmu> ActionParsnip, I get:  Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
[10:09] <ikaros> Othbarty, wrong guy highlighted :)
[10:09] <Ohmu> ActionParsnip, but the same card was working before!
[10:09] <Othbarty> ikaros, *whistles* sorry
[10:09] <Ohmu> lol, ikaros ikonia vs othbarty ohmu
[10:09] <lancao8> do I still need the sound driver inder winxp sorry for ask I am very new on ubuntu
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> Ohmu: well its not working now and thats what matters, try renaming your interfaces file and rebooting
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> Ohmu: you should get another fresh one
[10:10] <Ohmu> ActionParsnip, ok
[10:10]  * Ohmu reboots
[10:10] <simplexio> Oli``: run it from commandline. so you can see erro
[10:15] <g33k_gir1> !puregnome
[10:18] <gammy> How can I change the umasks for logfiles created by sysklogd? I don't want them all to be readable by users.
[10:18] <tomcheng76> gammy: umask 0xyz file ?
[10:19] <gammy> tomcheng76: I obviously cannot change the masks manually since the files wrap. When the new files are created, they will all have shitty umasks again.
[10:19] <gammy> tomcheng76: I basically need to know how sysklogd decided which files should get which masks.
[10:20] <ndlovu> can anyone recommend an ubuntu app to locate duplicate files on my system?
[10:21] <gammy> ndlovu: Perhaps fdupes.
[10:22] <tomcheng76> gammy: i dunno where is it ,but "
[10:22] <gammy> tomcheng76: ?
[10:22] <tomcheng76> gammy: "umask configurable in sysconfig/syslog with initscript SYSLOG_UMASK option
[10:22] <tomcheng76> gammy: that is i search from google
[10:22] <gammy> tomcheng76: Please provide the source of that information.
[10:23] <gammy> tomcheng76: URL?
[10:23] <tomcheng76> gammy: http://sophie.zarb.org/srpm/CentOS,5,/sysklogd
[10:23] <ndlovu> thanks gammy
[10:24] <gammy> tomcheng76: you know centos is based on red hat, right? Thanks anyway
[10:24] <g33k_gir1> er... crap, I got halfway through implementing !puregnome when I decided I'd rather have xfce. How do I clean up half-downloaded packages, etc?
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> g33k_gir1: sudo apt-get clean
[10:24] <aussie_nutt> lol
[10:25] <visik7> my video card is supported only by nvidia drivers 180.xx how could I install them ?
[10:25] <tomcheng76> gammy: yup, but a 2005 fix, i think ubuntu should have too :-) sad if things changed
[10:25] <gammy> g33k_gir1: you might also want to 'man dpkg' for more fine-grained control.
[10:25] <g33k_gir1> ActionParsnip: great, thanks!
[10:26] <gammy> tomcheng76: Yes but ubuntu does not even export that environment variable.,
[10:26] <Ohmu> Now I have wlan0 showing in ifconfig.  but still trouble: http://pastebin.ca/1274798  any ideas?
[10:26] <yacc> What's the package that contains the samba header files?
[10:27] <gammy> yacc: probably 'samba4-dev' - apt-cache search samba dev
[10:27] <jim_p> Ohmu, network manager
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> yacc: apt-cache search samba | grep dev
[10:27] <yacc> gammy, I'd need it for the normal mainstream samba, not samba4.
[10:27] <gammy> yacc: Okay - wjat's the "normal mainstream samba" ?
[10:28] <Ohmu> jim_p: yer but what do I do with it?
[10:28] <gammy> yacc: wjat/what
[10:28] <yacc> ActionParsnip, gammy: apt-cache does only give samba4-dev
[10:28] <gammy> ActionParsnip: ..or just 'samba dev', it's or'd anyway.
[10:28] <yacc> gammy, 3.2.something for Intrepid.
[10:28] <tomcheng76> gammy: sorry about that, i seldom do system administration :-)
[10:28] <jim_p> Ohmu, remove it and install wicd             wicd.sourceforge.net
[10:29] <chaos91> Hello?
[10:29] <gammy> yacc: Hrm that's odd isn't it.
[10:29] <jim_p> hi chaos91
[10:30] <chaos91> Hi jim_p, inda have some troubles here, can you help me, and if you can, will you?
[10:30] <chaos91> *kinda
[10:30] <gammy> yacc: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/302004 seen that?
[10:30] <jim_p> chaos91, tell me what the problem is
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> !ask | chaos91
[10:30] <Ohmu> jim_p, nice.  ok gotta go now - I'll do it when I'm back.  thx.
[10:31] <chaos91> Ok, so,  UBUNTU FREEZES
[10:31] <jim_p> Ohmu, lol. ok. do not download the .deb file and double click install. USE THE REPO of wicd to install from apt
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> chaos91: kill the caps, do you have the latest updates?
[10:31] <chaos91> everytime I  happen to run something it freezes after a while, why?
[10:31] <jim_p> chaos91, good. when?
[10:31] <chaos91> Yes
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> chaos91: did you md5 check your install media?
[10:32] <g33k_gir1> chaos91: I'm also having freezing issues (I thought it was KDE causing it though)
[10:32] <gammy> chaos91: Can you find a correlation between what crashes and what does not?
[10:33] <Ohmu> jim_p, wicked. ok.
[10:33] <jim_p> :P Ohmu
[10:33] <yacc> gammy, sorry, phone, but guess somebody beat me filing the bug.
[10:34] <aussie_nutt> wat u have running when it does it most
[10:34] <gammy> yacc: Get used to them..
[10:34] <NetM> how can i change me keyboard language ?
[10:34] <chaos91> the only correlation that I see is everytime I need something running it frezees, it doesn't matter what I run, either mozzila or a midi tracker , pretty much anything makes my computer freeze
[10:34] <NetM> my*
[10:34] <gammy> chaos91: So it crashes if you do nothing as well then?
[10:34] <koshari> ok, if i make a usb key with persistance, then add some packages to the key, will the distribution that gets installed from the key have the axtra packages?
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> chaos91: i'd do a ramtest from grub
[10:35] <chaos91> I'm ears
[10:35] <jim_p> NetM, you want the way (eg alt+shift) or set it to change one more language?
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> koshari: i dont believe so. you could add them to the other debs then install them manually once its booted
[10:35] <chaos91> ActionParsnip: how do I do a ramtest?
[10:36] <NetM> jim_p  the way alt +shift , i tried but nothing
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> chaos91: reboot and press esc when grub shows up, ram test is there
[10:36] <chaos91> ActionParsnip: K thanks
[10:36] <chaos91> Rebooting...
[10:36] <gammy> ActionParsnip: I wonder - does it run memtest86 or something? Or something else?
[10:36] <jim_p> NetM, you go to System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layout
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> koshari: if its a bootable usb that hold an OS and you cange it, it will be like changing an internal drive so changes will be persistant
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> gammy: yeah, memtestx86
[10:37] <gammy> ActionParsnip: 86 or 86+ I wonder?
[10:37] <NetM> jim_p ty :D
[10:37] <g33k_gir1> chaos91: press escape during reboot to get to the GRUB menu, choose memtest. depending on how much ram you have, you might want to run memtest overnight. One pass will give you an idea, but more passes are better
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> gammy: no idea dude, its a ramtester to me :)
[10:38] <aussie_nutt> just use 86
[10:38] <aussie_nutt> lol
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> gammy: edit you menu.lst and see what it says ;)
[10:39] <gammy> ActionParsnip: Ah. Nice.
[10:39] <gammy> ActionParsnip: Ta.
[10:39] <rookeeeeeeeee> Ive got FireFox plastered against my desktop with no titlebar and every program appears behind it. could anyone help me please?
[10:39] <gammy> ActionParsnip: You don't happen to have a zippy idea on my problem regarding sysklogd umasks? :)
[10:40] <mfoniso> the dpkg man pages states:  "... This manual should not be used by package maintainers wishing to understand how dpkg will install their packages. The descriptions of what dpkg  does  when installing and removing packages are particularly inadequate."
[10:40] <mfoniso> Where can one get that information? (i.e. descriptions of what dpkg does...)
[10:40] <gammy> rookeeeeeeeee: hit alt+f2 and type in 'xkill', then klick on the firefox window
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> gammy: i'd check the owner and current mask, then move from there
[10:40] <gammy> rookeeeeeeeee: That will of course kill that window.
[10:40] <rookeeeeeeeee> i do but every time i restart firefox that starts the problem again
[10:41] <gammy> ActionParsnip: yeah but the owners and masks are all different depending on the log. I wan to know how sysklogds decides those.
[10:41] <ccooke> hmm. Are there any known problems with copying from one system mounted under gvfs to another?
[10:41] <gammy> rookeeeeeeeee: Sweet. Well, that's ubuntu for you.
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> gammy: not sure dude, maybe its a setting
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> gammy: in the logging system
[10:41] <gammy> ActionParsnip: Gee you think? ;)
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> gammy: thats al i got. i rarely read them
[10:43] <rookeeeeeeeee> actionparsnip you have any advice on this situation?
[10:43] <alecs> hi! i am the onlyone who get's the feeling that mp3s in gnome are compromised on hardy ? i mean i am tottaly uptodate with my  ubuntu hardy, but my rithmbox just skipping fragments from the song ...
[10:43] <alecs> anyone got the error / feeling by now ?
[10:44] <jim_p> alecs, use another app like audacious or amarok
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> rookeeeeeeeee: try: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old then restart firefox
[10:44] <alecs> jim_p-away:  audacious does not play at all ...
[10:44] <jim_p-away> :|
[10:44] <koshari> ActionParsnip but i dont beleive i can install from a bootable installation ie, ext2-grub setup, only from a squashfs persistance yeah?
[10:44] <jim_p-away> alecs, configure it to use alsa
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> !player | alecs
[10:45] <gammy> alecs: intrepid has a lot of problems.
[10:45] <alecs> gammy: hardy
[10:45] <bullgard4> Where have I to type in streamtuner 'www.dradio.de' in order to receive the livestream of this station?
[10:45] <gammy> alecs: You could try reinstalling the faulty packages and removing any user-stored configuration files.
[10:46] <gammy> alecs: Oh I see. I don't know. When did the skipping begin? Have you tried other players/songs? Does all audio skip?
[10:47] <fa2s> someone knows how to compile the kernel to enable the "bright" on the dell inspiron laptop?
[10:47] <alecs> fa2s: i sugest you http://ubuntu1501.com/
[10:48] <fa2s> ok! i will see

[10:50] <Soccout> Does anybody know
[10:50] <Soccout> how to come to the nvidia settings in Ubuntu?
[10:50] <Soccout> lool
[10:51] <TecR0c> Does anyone know the command for nmap to see what computers are active on your network
[10:51] <ddgoose> Soccout, nvidia-settings
[10:51] <Fallenou> hi !
[10:52] <fa2s> TecR0c: nmap -sP ip

[10:53] <JGodbout> My nautilus is messed up, and so I can't access the Garbage Bin. For now, I am just using the Trash folder, but when I delete something from the Trash folder (i want to clear it off my hard drive), it just comes back after a second.
[10:53] <JGodbout> How can I delete something for good from the trash folder?
[10:53] <Fallenou> i'm trying to use EAP-PEAP authentification (802.1x wired authentification)
[10:54] <ddgoose> TecR0c, nmap -sP <iprange>/24  will scan your class C range
[10:54] <hischild> I have a USB stick that will only mount read only. I can mount it read/writeable, however this is not desirable as i have to do this every time. How can i make the USB sticks mounted read/write every time?
[10:55] <sporty> ﻿sudo cleancarpet -! -@ -# -$ -% now... oh my...
[10:56] <George541> Anybody around?
[10:56] <JGodbout> no
[10:56] <George541> Thought not...
[10:56] <JGodbout> 1312/1312 afk
[10:58] <tonyyarusso> Can anyone explain to me how using a bluetooth mouse is *supposed* to work?  In 8.04 I can't find a GUI method for connecting it, but hidd --search works.  In 8.10, the applet works for that.  In neither case will it still be working upon reboot - in 8.04 I just do the same step; in 8.10 I have to delete the device and re-add it.  The wiki page is confusingly written at best.
[10:59] <mfoniso> ddgoose: thanks
[10:59] <onx> rookeeeeeeeee, did you try pressing f11? :o
[10:59] <ddgoose> no problem
[11:01] <ddgoose> JGodbout, click the icon to highlight the file, hold shift, then press delete key.
[11:01] <ndlovu> anyone know of a way to check that *all* the files in a directory are duplicated somewhere else? (trying to clean up my photo collection)
[11:02] <koshari> ndlovu with rsync?
[11:03] <ddgoose> ndlovu, rdiff-backup
[11:03] <Soccout> Yeah
[11:03] <yacc> gammy, well, I've commented. Technically speaking a strict version dependency is way less of a problem than the alternatives (and other packages like postgresql provide versioned internal APIs as packages).
[11:03] <Soccout> i run two monitors
[11:03] <gammy> yacc: mm.
[11:04] <yacc> mm?
[11:04] <ndlovu> koshari, how would you do that with rsync?
[11:08] <koshari> ndlovu "rsync -r --del -u /origin/dir /destination/dir --progress" would copy all newer files from the origin file into the destination file and delete any files in the destination file you have deleted in the origin file since last backup. it would also give progress and delete anyolder files in the destination with an older date

[11:12] <kelli> what is the easiest program fot web page building?
[11:12] <l3d> ok I was wondering about cleaning up unneeded apps or just getting rid of the clutter. so is there a tool that will do this with out messing things up

[11:15] <chalcedony> can someone tell me please the command to identify a process id number ? firefox says it's already running .. but it's not and i need to kill it

[11:28] <Luis9955> Hi there.
[11:28] <rlt> hah, at the bottom of the page is "One or more MGT friends needed to help with the port to GNOME-2". Guess that never happened, hence it being dropped.

[11:29] <savageCW> :(
[11:29] <Luis9955> HI there
[11:29] <grzegorz129> I broken down sound (maybe ALSA). I wanted to compile a newer sources and it does not work out. I've installed again ALSA from apt-get. Now I do not have sound on SoundBlaster 64 (I have integrated Intel HD Audio - it`s hardware broked). How can I fix this?

[11:32] <yao_ziyuan> when will openoffice 3.0 be available in ubuntu repository?
[11:33] <DJones> yao_ziyuan: Probably only when 9.04 comes it, although it may make it in through backports before then
[11:33] <freakynl> q: if i want the jeos / -virtual kernel to get better performance on esx, do i need the special iso, or can i just select the kernel from the default server install?
[11:33] <savageCW> does anyone know any other terminal software that enables searching scrollback buffers?
[11:33] <tomcheng76> yao_ziyuan: currently, you can find PPA repository for that
[11:33] <Luis9955> Erm help..

[11:34] <rlt> Luis9955: it's asking you to accept Java's license. Java is non-free software, and has a EULA. Read the EULA, and if you accept it, hit OK.
[11:34] <Luis9955> This isnt next next next lol
[11:34] <grzegorz129> ktos z polski jest? ;]
[11:34] <tomcheng76> Luis9955: it's normal, that is the SUN java license

[11:35] <tomcheng76> Luis9955: tab and press enter
[11:35] <Luis9955> ah thanks
[11:35] <rlt> grzegorz129: to appeal that, ask in #ubuntu-ops. Discussion in this channel is English-only.
[11:35] <|ntegra|> !nm-applet
[11:36] <grzegorz129> rlt: thx :)
[11:36] <yao_ziyuan> tomcheng76: where?
[11:36] <l3d> ok lets say I have installed the xubuntu desktop  and tried it, and well thought not for me and went to remove it and stick with gnome . It leaves apps that came with it all over the place I would just like to fix this with out having to manually remove all of it one by one . so is there a way for this?
[11:37] <rlt> !puregnome | l3d: (contains xfce removal instructions, not just KDE):
[11:38] <tomcheng76> yao_ziyuan: its on the launchpad, wait :)
[11:38] <Dabbu> i use internet through http proxy....evolution or thunderbird is not working any help
[11:38] <Luis9955> Have you set evolution or thunderbird to the correct proxy?
[11:39] <pvh_sa|wrk> i'm evaluating netflow tools... and i see there's two fprobe packages for ubuntu: fprobe and fprobe-ng - how can i find the "parent" project websites for these packages? so i can find out about maintainance / features / etc

[11:39] <white-weezel> greetings, i have a little prob.: try 'd to install ubuntu ( ibex) ,
[11:39] <white-weezel> i got a 800x600 display ( installed Nvidia drivers to get 1025x786)
[11:39] <white-weezel> => got 600x480
[11:39] <white-weezel> when i try to change nvidia settings, ( impossible => buttons gone crazy(?)  the screen/window of nvidia got nuts =>jumps left to right..when pushing some buttons..
[11:39] <FloodBot2> white-weezel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:39] <tomcheng76> yao_ziyuan: https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive   :)
[11:39] <white-weezel> sorry
[11:42] <tim1> Can some one please be nice enough to provide me with the folders "icons" and "themes".
[11:42] <grzegorz129> I broken down sound (maybe ALSA). I wanted to compile a newer sources and it does not work out. I've installed again ALSA from apt-get. Now I do not have sound on SoundBlaster 64 (I have integrated Intel HD Audio - it`s hardware broked). How can I fix this?
[11:43] <tomcheng76> tim1: what do you mean icons and themes folder? you lost it ?
[11:43] <|ntegra|> how can I delete my nm-applet (network manager) passkey?
[11:43] <bazhang> !hdaintel | grzegorz129
[11:44] <tim1> tomcheng76:  I modified it now things dont work the way they should (my mouse)
[11:44] <|ntegra|> !network manager
[11:44] <nikki93> It isn't advisable to cancel an operation on an NTFS partition in gparted while its being done, is it? Because, I'm doing this repartitioning of a portable hard disk for a guy, and he needs it right now. :|
[11:45] <XaRuS> ohh no you shouldn't
[11:45] <grzegorz129> bazhang: not... its completly dead. linux only detect it in lspci, windows drivers says "No soundcard found!"
[11:45] <tomcheng76> tim1: which one? .themes or /usr/share/themes ?
[11:45] <yao_ziyuan> tomcheng76: i'm downloading from the official ooo site
[11:45] <tim1> nikki93: Should be fine, thou its pro faster to let it complete
[11:45] <tim1> tomcheng76:  Yes please and icons too
[11:46] <nikki93> tim1: I'm moving the partition, right now its in the 'moving' state. Cancelling is fine?
[11:46] <tim1> nikki93: not advised
[11:46] <tomcheng76> yao_ziyuan: oo3 have bugs, i would wait :-)
[11:47] <tim1> nikki93:  better safe then sorry
[11:47] <tomcheng76> tim1: i want to ask u want .themes or /usr/share/themes ?
[11:47] <nikki93> tim1: The thing is, he wants me to merge 4 partitions into one, while keeping the data. The first, second and third partitions had relatively less data, the third one had lots. So, I put the data from the second and fourth into the first. Now, I'm planning to resize the first to accomodate the data from the third, then I'll put the data from there into the first, and then remove it and resize it. But for this, I have to move the third to the end, and that's
[11:47] <tim1> /usr/share
[11:48] <nikki93> Its gonna take 18 hours from now! It already took some 20 heh.
[11:48] <tim1> yes nikki93 its not easy of fast.
[11:48] <lesshaste> anyone know how to get the new bbc totem feature working in hardy?
[11:48] <nikki93> I hope he won't be very pissed. I can't do anything about it though.
[11:49] <tomcheng76> tim1: that would be large :( i cant upload them, btw, i think you could fix the problem by reinstalling theme package or dpkg-reconfigure , not sure how
[11:49] <grzegorz129> I broken down sound (maybe ALSA). I wanted to compile a newer sources and it does not work out. I've installed again ALSA from apt-get. Now I do not have sound on SoundBlaster 64 (I have integrated Intel HD Audio - it`s hardware broked). How can I fix this?
[11:49] <grzegorz129> (i try to repair sound on SB64)
[11:49] <tim1> tomcheng76:  are you joking they are small
[11:50] <nikki93> tim1: I could have done it without moving it I guess. I didn't think of it at that time. I thought it'll take very less time though. Its taking _loads_ of time.
[11:50] <C0p3rn1c> why is it that I only can get non-low-graphics mode with the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.82-pkg2.run install package?
[11:51] <tomcheng76> tim1: it is becuase i have many extra themes and icons and i am not sure which one suit you :)
[11:51] <C0p3rn1c> I would rather use the ubuntu non-free packages but they just dont work :(
[11:52] <tim1> tomcheng76:  Im open minded
[11:52] <tim1> stop being shy
[11:52] <lesshaste> when is the intrepid release date?
[11:52] <C0p3rn1c> !alsa
[11:53] <tim1> its released mate
[11:53] <lesshaste> tim1, oh :)
[11:53] <lesshaste> tim1, I am soo behind the times :)
[11:53] <tim1> i am too
[11:54] <C0p3rn1c> are the ubuntu nvidia non-free drivers not the same as the ones packaged by nvidia ?
[11:54] <tim1> lesshaste:  its great OS
[11:54] <Aristotles> I have been looking all over the net and cannot find anything to help me properly get a dual screen setup on Ubuntu 8.10
[11:54] <C0p3rn1c> Aristotles: what kind of video card do you have ?
[11:54] <Aristotles> intergrated
[11:55] <Aristotles> intel
[11:55] <C0p3rn1c> ah, dunno about that sorry
[11:57] <tsurc> anyone know how I can split a text file into parts based on a delimiter e.i. take the /etc/passwd file and disguard everything after the first ":"
[11:57] <tsurc> splits not the tool here... but what is?
[11:57] <tomcheng76> C0p3rn1c: i think it is the same, btw, ubuntu nvidia non-free have DKMS which means you dont need to recomplie after upgrading kernel
[11:58] <jrib> tsurc: awk, or cut
[11:58] <C0p3rn1c> tomcheng76: how can I get this ubuntu DKMS package?
[11:59] <tim1> tomcheng76:  gona share ?
[11:59] <C0p3rn1c> dunno what DKMS is btw :)
[11:59] <C0p3rn1c> !dkms
[11:59] <tsurc> jrib: Thanks I'll give it a go
[11:59] <ndlovu_> !wireless
[11:59] <C0p3rn1c> aha :)
[11:59] <tomcheng76> tim1: how to upload them to u ?
[12:00] <C0p3rn1c> !nvidia
[12:00] <tim1> tomcheng76: any
[12:00] <tim1> just not rapidshare
[12:01] <g33k_gir1> sigh. I crashed (again!) during the middle of following the instructions for setting up puregnome. is there any way to get the install to continue where it left off? (I'd finished the download part, it was doing the setup part)
[12:02] <NightDragon> ello
[12:02] <C0p3rn1c> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 , packet not found :(
[12:02] <bobthemil> tsurc: I believe sed is what you want
[12:02] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: what ubuntu version?
[12:02] <bobthemil> tscolin: /cat /etc/passwd | sed s/(regexp)/
[12:02] <bobthemil> tsurc*
[12:03] <C0p3rn1c> jrib:  interpid
[12:03] <g33k_gir1> !puregnome
[12:03] <tomcheng76> tim1: okay, let u know after finish uploading
[12:03] <tim1> ta
[12:03] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: run 'sudo apt-get update' and try again.   pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list if it still does not work
[12:04] <tsurc> bobthemil: cuts actually worked really well "cut -d : -f 1 /etc/passwd > users.txt"
[12:04] <bobthemil> tsurc That should also do it
[12:04] <C0p3rn1c> jrib: oh wait sorry im running 8.04
[12:05] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: right.  Then you don't have that package.  apt-cache search -n nvidia glx
[12:05] <tsurc> bobthemil: thanks though... sed scares me a little, lol
[12:05] <C0p3rn1c> jrib: hmmz wich one do I pick?
[12:06] <tsurc> bobthemil: one day I'll get round to understanding it I'm sure... its just having the time to rtfm and actually understand it all :-)
[12:06] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: it depends on your card.  You need to read the documentation to decide.  Is there a reason you don't just use System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers to do this for you?
[12:06] <bobthemil> sed's a very powerful tool :)
[12:06] <C0p3rn1c> I want the same ones as in NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.82-pkg2
[12:07] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: I doubt that exists in 8.04
[12:07] <tsurc> bobthemil: thats why it scares me :-)
[12:07] <C0p3rn1c> jrib: I tried that
[12:07] <chaos91> memcheck done but Ubuntu still frezees, talk about winter season
[12:07] <Iced133> What would e the best way to dual boot Ubuntu and windows with ubuntu installed first?
[12:07] <C0p3rn1c> dident work
[12:07] <chaos91> I'm back btw
[12:07] <bobthemil> Iced133: Grub for windows
[12:07] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: "didn't work" really isn't that helpful in troubleshooting
[12:08] <C0p3rn1c> jrib: well I enabled it but I still get the low grahics mode
[12:08] <bobthemil> A) install ubuntu, leaving room for partitions B) install windows C) install grub for windows
[12:08] <JackWinter> what does the following mean when trying to copy from a dvd-rom ? cp: reading `/cdrom/Installer/Payload/BFD2/Audio/Zildjian/Ride K 20/Edge/master27.bfdca': Input/output error
[12:08] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: what card?
[12:08] <Dabbu> How to acess yahoo mail in thunderbird ?

[12:08] <jrib> erm, /me goes to docs

[12:09] <C0p3rn1c> sorry
[12:10] <sinbox> hi imagemagick update messed up badly, is this what I should do: "sudo dpkg -P imagemagick" and then install it again after that?
[12:10] <chaos91> *ahem* Ubuntu freeze problem, not because of hardware
[12:10] <jrib> sinbox: that would purge the package.  It depends on what "messed up badly" means
[12:11] <chaos91> ...
[12:11] <C0p3rn1c> jrib: maybe I should try nvidia-glx-new-dev
[12:11] <chaos91> ok, bye!
[12:11] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: no, that's not what you want
[12:11] <sinbox> jrib, here is the message: dpkg: error processing imagemagick (--configure): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should     reinstall it before attempting configuration.
[12:11] <tomcheng76> C0p3rn1c: quadro nvs is new or not? :P
[12:11] <C0p3rn1c> ehm my laptop is a few years old
[12:12] <C0p3rn1c> tomcheng76: probebly not that old
[12:12] <jrib> sinbox: what you said would be okay to do then
[12:12] <C0p3rn1c> jrib: I also tried the beta version package from nvidia.com,  works fine
[12:12] <tomcheng76> C0p3rn1c: you should check which driver versions work first on nvidia.com
[12:12] <sinbox> ok thanks jrib
[12:13] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.12/README/appendix-a.html claims the hardy driver should work.  nvidia-glx-new
[12:13] <bobthemil> Okay. I've got some problems with my video card drivers.
[12:13] <bobthemil> I *just* did a fresh install of kubuntu, and my display is weird when in KDE
[12:13] <bobthemil> like a wrong refresh rate or something
[12:13] <C0p3rn1c> jrib: ok how do I see what driver is currently is installed ?
[12:14] <bobthemil> What's the easiest way to get the correct video card drivers for my system (preferably without having to use X)
[12:14] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-new
[12:14] <jrib> bobthemil: install the proper package through apt

[12:20] <nnull> whenever i enable compiz i have no window title bars, tried alot of different things to try fix, even installing emerald, anyone got any ideas?

[12:21] <Pretto> C0p3rn1c, even using a ps2 keyboard it shows the same issue

[12:22] <Jungle> anyone?
[12:22] <Jungle> Can anyone here help me about the compiling kernel in the ubuntu way?
[12:22] <Vinceman> are you sure C is the main programming in linux?
[12:23] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: but makes it impossible to debug your issue.  Since now I have no clue what the modifications were and if X is failing because of your version of xserver-xorg or some other reason.  I would try a simpler xorg.conf and if it still fails, see if it fails with the version of xserver-xorg from the official repositories
[12:23] <jrib> Jungle: did you read what ubottu sent you?
[12:23] <Jungle> jrib: yes.
[12:23] <sinbox> not sure Andrew`` am still on 7.10 ask your friend

[12:24] <Jungle> jrib: AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-i386 is that right?
[12:24] <jrib> nnull: on intrepid?
[12:24] <PedroMaia> hey guys. anyone having problems with video flickering on 8.10? :-\
[12:24] <Juliada> Please, does anyone know the isuue?
[12:24] <C0p3rn1c> jrib: maybe if I reinstall them ?
[12:24] <jrib> Jungle: if that's what the wiki says (I don't know offhand)
[12:24] <nnull> 8.04.1 jrib
[12:25] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: won't work like that.  You would need to downgrade
[12:25] <Jungle> jrib: but binary-genertic works
[12:25] <Vinceman> my important question is ignored as if Jesus was crucified for nothing
[12:25] <jrib> !helpme | Vinceman
[12:25] <C0p3rn1c> jrib: what would happen if I upgrate to interpid?
[12:25] <rlt> Juliada: for a while, the Linux kernel has pretended to userspace that IDE drives are SCSI drives. It's nothing to worry about, and shouldn't slow things down.
[12:26] <nnull> C0p3rn1c¬ the world would explode
[12:26] <nnull> ;)
[12:26] <C0p3rn1c> hehe
[12:26] <C0p3rn1c> prolly =)
[12:26] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: depends on how much non-standard stuff you have installed.  If you have a lot of unofficial repos, you may have some trouble
[12:26] <Juliada> rlt: thank you very much!
[12:26] <C0p3rn1c> aiaiai
[12:27] <PedroMaia> aiaiai
[12:27] <PedroMaia> lol
[12:27] <C0p3rn1c> haha
[12:27] <jrib> !nodeco | nnull
[12:27] <sinbox> uhoh, this totally messed up my firefox, now none of the addons actually work when I start it even if they all appear in the list  :/
[12:27] <ataufik> hello... I am amin from indonesia
[12:27] <PedroMaia> hello... I am Pedro from Portugal
[12:27] <jrib> nnull: but that's old advice, so you probably should check with #compiz-fusion first
[12:28] <nnull> jrib¬ ok cheers, still waiting for a response in their channel
[12:28] <tomcheng76> ubottu knows everything :) but i don't know the keyword :(
[12:28] <C0p3rn1c> jrib: Im a little scared to upgrade . the last machine I tried it with had some kernell problem afterwards
[12:28] <PedroMaia> ubottu is a bot? :-O
[12:29] <PedroMaia> lol
[12:29] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: if you have backups or a separate /home partition it should be okay.  Try a live cd first to make sure intrepid works okay with your machine
[12:29] <ataufik> does anyone know what messenger that support webcam except Gyachee and kopete?
[12:29] <nnull> jrib¬ when i spawn a terminal in X its all White, this wasn't like this before..
[12:29] <nnull> any idea?
[12:30] <C0p3rn1c> jrib: ok thx, will do
[12:30] <PedroMaia> i would also like to know about msn with cam =)
[12:30] <jrib> !notes > C0p3rn1c
[12:30] <jrib> C0p3rn1c: see if your card is affected in those notes as well
[12:32] <C0p3rn1c> jrib: ok thx
[12:32] <PedroMaia> ubuntu rules
[12:32] <Sinister`> can you remove gnome ? would it mess things up ?
[12:33] <rlt> Sinister`: what do you want to replace it with
[12:33] <ndlovu_> ataufik, I think Ekiga supports webcam
[12:33] <Sinister`> i use kde
[12:33] <jrib> !purekde | Sinister`
[12:33] <rlt> !purekde  | Sinister`
[12:33] <rlt> :)
[12:34] <Sinister`> thanks
[12:34] <tripitakit> !puregnome so it should exist too
[12:34] <tripitakit> !puregnome
[12:34] <snek> ubottu women
[12:34] <tripitakit> :P
[12:34] <snek> crap, didn't do what i expected ;)
[12:35] <ubuntu_> hello?
[12:35] <snek> yes
[12:35] <ataufik> ndlovu_, I know ekiga is support webcam, but it does not a chat messenger like yahoo messenger
[12:35] <tripitakit> hello ubuntu_
[12:36] <Myrtti> snek: what did you expect it to do?
[12:36] <co-PiloT> fendy
[12:36] <bobthemil> Can someone help me load the ATI Mobility M4 video drivers onto Intrepid (KDE)? The !ati trigger doesn't make any mention of what to do in KDE for intrepid, nor any mention of the Mobility M4 card. Additionally, the Hardware Drivers Manager has no quick way to automatically install them
[12:36] <rlt> incidentally, that HOWTO is good reading :)
[12:37] <Sinister`> can i still run things like xsane ?
[12:37] <bobthemil> also ATI does not have the drivers on their website
[12:37] <snek> PedroMaia: ubottu is a bot?
[12:37] <snek> [1:28pm] ubottu: Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot
[12:37] <snek> you get the idea ;)
[12:38] <ndlovu_> ataufik, I don't know of others I'm afraid
[12:38] <Myrtti> I must be lacking in the humour department
[12:39] <ddgoose> bobthemil, sudo apt-get install envyng-core envyng-qt envyng-gtk
[12:39] <ddgoose> then envyng -k
[12:39] <snek> how old is the mobility m4?
[12:39] <bobthemil> snek: OLD
[12:39] <bobthemil> snek 7 years maybe
[12:39] <snek> hmm not sure there are hardware accelerated drivers then
[12:40] <snek> at least, not official ones...
[12:40] <snek> you're probably stuck with the opensource ones then
[12:40] <bobthemil> ddgoose: "envyng -k" -> "kdesudo: cannot connect to X server"
[12:41] <bobthemil> snek: okay. how do i get open source drivers for it?
[12:41] <bobthemil> ddgoose: should I kill X first or something?
[12:41] <Dabbu> i have kde4 installed in ubuntu.i had set kdm as default graphical manager.when i uncheck kdm from administrator>services i am not able to boot to graphical mode ..any help ?
[12:42] <snek> bobthemil: hmm i would just edit the xorg.conf and point to the right driver there.. you don't have to "get" it anywhere, it comes with xorg
[12:42] <error404notfound> is there any commandline tool like sysinstall in freebsd through which you can modify major configs...
[12:42] <PedroMaia> Dabbu: Have you set gnome as default window manager before removing kde?
[12:42] <hwilde> how can I send my hostname to dns without dhclient
[12:42] <Dabbu> PedroMaia: i have not removed kde but gnome is default...
[12:43] <Sinister`> i typed sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop  and it was only going to remove 3 things
[12:43] <ddgoose> bobthemil, sudo envyng -k
[12:43] <ddgoose> should do it
[12:43] <bobthemil> ddgoose: same as before
[12:43] <bobthemil> do i need to run this from a console inside of KDE the man page said something about that
[12:44] <udontu> hey. How do I set ubuntu too loade from 2.6.27-8-eeepc instead of 2.6.27.9??
[12:44] <ddgoose> yeah from a terminal
[12:44] <ataufik> ndlovu_, thank you... i think I have to be more patient to wait that such kind of IM :)
[12:44] <ddgoose> like konsole
[12:44] <xxploit> Sinister`, its a meta-package
[12:44] <rlt> Dabbu: this came up yesterday, so I remember how to deal with it :)
[12:44] <rlt> Dabbu: firstly, what do you want to use, kdm or gdm?
[12:44] <Dabbu> rlt: ok then..
[12:44] <Dabbu> rlt: gdm
[12:44] <yao_ziyuan> OOo official Linux package is not for ubuntu.
[12:44] <bobthemil> ddgoose: okay. it appears to be running now
[12:45] <yao_ziyuan> it contains RPM files
[12:45] <rlt> Dabbu: what's the output of "cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager"?
[12:45] <Dabbu> rlt: no such file
[12:45] <r0land> i'm facing a prob with UFW. its working perfectly for inbound connections.. all is blocked.. bu i want to block outgoing destinations as well from a specific interface... anyone could help ou ?
[12:46] <yao_ziyuan> i see
[12:46] <rlt> Dabbu: are you using Ubuntu Intrepid/8.10, or an earlier version?
[12:46] <bobthemil> ddgoose: Okay. The only ATi driver it lists for me is 8.543-0ubuntu4, which then has a giant "X" next to compatible (which I think means incompatible, but maybe it means compatible?)
[12:46] <mclure> hm. pidgin doesn't save any settings. anyone here having the same problem?
[12:46] <Dabbu> rlt: sorry its "/usr/bin/kdm"
[12:46] <hwilde> how can I send my hostname to dns without dhclient
[12:46] <tomcheng76> yao_ziyuan: just wait the PPA fix the oo3 bug, i would not use alien on a big package
[12:46] <rlt> Dabbu: ah, okay. Open that file with sudo nano /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[12:46] <wcdl> someone can help me with a via chrome 9 on 8.10?
[12:46] <rlt> Dabbu: and change it to /usr/sbin/gdm
[12:46] <wcdl> graphic card
[12:47] <Dabbu> rlt: ok i changed
[12:47] <tomcheng76> sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm  will fix too
[12:47] <rlt> Dabbu: okay. Halfway there :). What's the output of "ls /etc/rc2.d/*dm"?
[12:48] <Aayush> how to view ubuntu version
[12:48] <rlt> tomcheng76: that didn't work for the person I was helping yesterday, for some reason
[12:48] <rlt> !version | Aayush
[12:48] <Dabbu> rlt: /etc/rc2.d/S50kdm
[12:48] <sinbox> anyone knows if there is a debug mode for firefox to figure out why none of my addons work anymore?
[12:48] <yao_ziyuan> tomcheng76: ooo official site does offer DEB packages
[12:48] <tomcheng76> Asyush: cat /etc/*release*
[12:48] <rlt> Dabbu: nothing about gdm?
[12:48] <Dabbu> rlt: no
[12:48] <zamba> i need something to unpack rpm files.. what can i use?
[12:48] <Dabbu> rlt: i had set kdm as default
[12:49] <jrib> zamba: you should avoid rpm files.  Why are you not using APT?
[12:49] <jrib> !rpm | zamba
[12:49] <dr_willis> zamba,  rpm files are 'cpio' archives.. the file manager 'mc' can also view the contents of them
[12:49] <rlt> Dabbu: hmm. But you want to use gdm, right? Have you installed gdm yet?
[12:49] <snek> udontu: you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to choose a prefered Kernel to load
[12:49] <zamba> dr_willis: ok, thanks :)
[12:49] <zamba> jrib: because a driver has been bundled as a rpm
[12:49] <Dabbu> rlt: ya its installed
[12:49] <zamba> jrib: i don't want to install the package, i just want to get the contents of it
[12:49] <snek> udontu: it always chooses the first one in the list basically, so you can just change the order of the kernels...
[12:49] <ndlovu_> Aayush, System > About Ubuntu will also tell you
[12:49] <naiv> i'm trying to install ubuntu on a old imac, after 20min i can reach the desktop and click on install, but i launched it 30min ago and i'm still waiting the window :\
[12:49] <Dabbu> cd /etc
[12:49] <rlt> Dabbu: what's the output of "ls /etc/init.d/*dm"?
[12:50] <zamba> jrib: believe me, i hate redhat and rpm just as much as the next guy (in here, at least :))
[12:50] <wcdl> someone can help me with a graphic card - via chrome 9 on 8.10?
[12:50] <Dabbu> rlt: /etc/init.d/gdm  /etc/init.d/kdm
[12:50] <dr_willis> zamba,  mc is an easy way to do that. :)  if you jsut want some of the files. it can access the file as if it was a 'directory'  of course mc can do that for other archive formats as well. :)
[12:50] <tomcheng76> yao_ziyuan: DEB for debian or ubuntu, it is different, as i said, oo is big, i would like for at least PPA support
[12:50] <snek> naiv: damn.. errr.. you might want to check dmesg (less /var/log/dmesg) to see if anything is going wrong
[12:51] <naiv> snek: good idea, i gonna try and maybe i'll have an answer in 10minutes :)
[12:51] <zamba> dr_willis: does it rely on rpm to do that?
[12:51] <rlt> Dabbu: okay, excellent. First, do "sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S50kdm /etc/rc2.d/K50kdm". Then, do "sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/gdm /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm"
[12:51] <hwilde> how can I send my hostname to dns without dhclient
[12:51] <hwilde> how can I send my hostname to dns without dhclient
[12:51] <wcdl> i can't install ubuntu 8.10 because of my graphic card which is a via chrome9
[12:51] <dr_willis> zamba,  no idea.. since they are just cpio archives.. i woukldent think so
[12:51] <wcdl> some help
[12:52] <SOURdiesel> does x86-64 mean 64bit?
[12:52] <bobthemil> SOURdiesel: yes
[12:52] <anders> yes
[12:52] <rlt> Dabbu: you should be all set once you've done that :)
[12:52] <snek> wcdl: you can't use the alternate install cd which uses a textmode installer?
[12:52] <Schneider> hi
[12:52] <zamba> dr_willis: what command should i use for mc to open it, then?
[12:52] <SOURdiesel> bobthemill: thanks.
[12:52] <ionstorm66> what is the command to install local .deb?
[12:52] <zamba> dr_willis: pressing <enter> just gives me a raw dump of the file
[12:52] <Dabbu> rlt: yes done
[12:52] <snek> wcdl: almost every card is supported, even if it has to use nasty vesa drivers
[12:52] <dr_willis> zamba,  mc is a file manager.. select the file and hit enter works for me
[12:52] <tomcheng76> SOURdiesel: AMD64 = X86_64 = Intel/AMD 64bit CPU :)
[12:52] <zamba> dr_willis: and that gives me the raw output :)
[12:52] <rlt> Dabbu: okay, try rebooting and see if it works :)
[12:53] <dr_willis> zamba,  I dont even have a rpm file to test.   Its worked befor for me.. could be you need some extra tools
[12:53] <wcdl> snek - so ure saying i "can't" or i can use alternate
[12:53] <zamba> or.. Inconsistent extfs archive
[12:53] <Schneider> how can i change channel
[12:53] <zamba> that's what it says now
[12:53] <Dabbu> rlt: ok i m rebooting now if everything go right i'll camo to thanks u
[12:53] <rlt> ionstorm66: if you're using Gnome, just double-click it.
[12:53] <snek> wcdl: you should be able to use the alternate installer
[12:53] <zamba> i'll try installing rpm
[12:53] <Dabbu> rlt: *come
[12:53] <dr_willis> zamba,  extfs  = 'external filesystem' - its how mc accesses archives and other 'virtual' filesystem  i think..
[12:53] <tomcheng76> Schneider: IRC channel?
[12:53] <SOURdiesel> tomcheng76: and core 2 duo is 64 bit not core duo.  got it.
[12:54] <dr_willis> zamba,  could also be the .rpm file is bad.
[12:54] <wcdl> snek : but in 8.04 i installed it and even get 3d
[12:54] <Schneider> tomcheng76 , rite
[12:54] <Mustinet_> sd
[12:54] <wcdl> in 8.10 it is messed up
[12:54] <snek> wcdl: oh that's a bit strange then...
[12:54] <Fuse_> James Nesbitt would be punk.
[12:54] <tomcheng76> Schneider: which client are u using ?
[12:55] <Schneider> xchat
[12:55] <snek> wcdl: have you tried just installing 8.04 and dist-upgrading to 8.10?
[12:55] <rlt> Schneider: /join #channelname
[12:55] <wcdl> yes
[12:55] <wcdl> and when it start it freze
[12:55] <tomcheng76> Schneider: Top menu bar have channel button too
[12:56] <snek> wcdl: hmm boot with a livecd and maybe mess around with xorg.conf settings.. maybe switch to another driver for a bit so you at least get a GUI
[12:57] <tomcheng76> Schneider: it is Server => Join a channel :)
[12:57] <Dabbu> rlt: thanks buddy its worked
[12:57] <bobthemil> ddgoose: envyng just finished, now KDE won't start at all (i guess that X in the compatibility column meant incompatible, not compatible)
[12:58] <bobthemil> (it installed the fglrx drivers, btw)
[12:58] <rlt> Dabbu: awesome. Glad I could help :)
[12:58] <wcdl> yes i'll do it
[12:58] <wcdl> thanks
[12:58] <Schneider> OK,found , thanks tomecheng76
[12:58] <Dabbu> rlt: one more thing after installing kde4,the new style of shuting down in 8.10 is removed
[12:58] <snek> fglrx is not going to work for an old mobility..
[12:58] <Dabbu> rlt :in gnome
[12:59] <bobthemil> i had a feeling it wouldn't :O
[12:59] <bobthemil> so how do i go about removing this fglrx thing and installing some correct drivers
[12:59] <rlt> Dabbu: I'm not sure what you mean by "new style of shutting down"?
[12:59] <sidewalk> anyone know the name of any snow application(s) for X?
[12:59] <snek> edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver line from fglrx to ati
[13:00] <Dabbu> rlt: do u use 8.10 ?
[13:00] <rlt> Dabbu: yeah
[13:00] <Cyberai> I'm having a DNS or proxy issue of some sort here. I got up this morning and no websites will resolve unless I use tor. I turned off tor, turned off the proxy settings in firefox, looked at my resolv.conf and my /etc/hosts. Everyting looks normal. But still nothing will resolve for any internet app that uses dns. Can anyone help?
[13:00] <bobthemil> snek: what about the line in Section "Module" that says Load "glx"?
[13:00] <Dabbu> rlt: if we click on the upper right end a down menu will come and we will select from shut down,log out,lock,rebook etc
[13:01] <Schneider> I wrote a network monitor script, if sb has interest for testing ,here is the link to download:http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/download/file.php?id=51896
[13:01] <tomcheng76> Dabbu: shutdown dropdownlist on right top ?
[13:01] <Dabbu> tomcheng76:  ya u got it right
[13:01] <snek> bobthemill: yeah comment that out as well probably.. although that generally loads the 3d part of the driver.. so you could maybe leave it on if the normal ati drivers work well
[13:01] <rlt> Dabbu: oh, that. I removed it, not sure how to get it back :S
[13:01] <Cyberai> this is so frustrating
[13:01] <Dabbu> rlt: ok
[13:01] <bobthemil> I'm gonna try leaving it in. If it doesn't work I'll redo it without (as well as the "disable ____" line below it
[13:01] <tomcheng76> Dabbu: i am not sure, i got it and i am having kde4, is it related to pidgin ?
[13:02] <bobthemil> Well that decisively didn't work
[13:02] <Dabbu> tomcheng76: do u know how to get it back if u have removed it ?
[13:02] <Dabbu> tomcheng76: or it have been removed by mistake
[13:02] <bobthemil> I believe the correct drivers are entitled "r128" but I have no idea where to get them :S
[13:03] <rlt> !hcl | rlt
[13:03] <tomcheng76> Dabbu: fast-user-switch-applet  may be reinstalling this
[13:04] <Schneider> I wrote a network monitor script, if sb has interest for testing ,here is the link to download:http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/download/file.php?id=51896
[13:04] <SOURdiesel> has anyone tried the 9.04 Jaunty Beta release?
[13:04] <ndlovu_> sidewalk, I think compiz does something along those lines: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Plugins/Snow
[13:04] <Myrtti> SOURdiesel: it can't be beta
[13:04] <rlt> SOURdiesel: Jaunty discussion belongs in #ubuntu+1, thanks :)
[13:04] <magnetron> !jaunty | SOURdiesel
[13:04] <SOURdiesel> Myrtti: i meant Alpga, sorry
[13:05] <Myrtti> it's not even that ;-)
[13:05] <SOURdiesel> rlt: my nad. thanks.
[13:05] <SOURdiesel> *nad
[13:05] <SOURdiesel> *bad
[13:05] <SOURdiesel> dang keynoard
[13:05] <scientes_> im trying to get will  a program listening on 0.0.0.0 also listen on ipv6?
[13:06] <torgrim> the application needs support for it scientes_ ;)
[13:06] <scientes_> but if it does support
[13:06] <scientes_> will 0.0.0.0 include ::1?
[13:06] <bobthemil> snek: well now KDE won't run at all :(
[13:06] <scientes_> wait
[13:06] <scientes_> what is the all address in ipv6?
[13:07] <Eghie> hello
[13:07] <snek> bobthemill: hmm well change it back then i guess.. i thought kde wasn't booting before either?
[13:07] <Eghie> how to get my NTP offset of 330 seconds (5.30 minutes) straight in 1 go?
[13:08] <bobthemil> snek: it was booting, but the resolution was messed up (wrong drivers? invalid resolution?)
[13:08] <bobthemil> anyway, i just did sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsave /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[13:08] <rlt> Eghie: I think ntpdate will do that
[13:08] <snek> bobthemill: how do you mean messed up?
[13:08] <bobthemil> snek: like the refresh rate was off
[13:08] <snek> bobthemill: blank screen?
[13:08] <bobthemil> vertically it was fine, but horizontally some parts of the screen were repeated, some were left off
[13:08] <Eghie> rlt: ntpdate will say that I have an offset, but will not synchronize in 1 go anyway
[13:08] <X1karr0usX> good morning fellow buntus
[13:08] <snek> bobthemill: or do you have a CRT monitor?
[13:09] <bobthemil> snek: amazingly, no
[13:09] <X1karr0usX> whos got an extremely simple issue this morning? ;)
[13:09] <snek> bobthemill: hmm sounds like the driver was only partly working then..
[13:09] <bobthemil> but it was doing what a CRT monitor would do when you woudl put the wrong resolution in (well, not exactly)
[13:09] <bobthemil> anyway, i fell back on xorg.conf.failsafe
[13:09] <bobthemil> now KDE is up and running, but what appears to only be 800x600
[13:10] <snek> kk, this will just take you a lot of trial and error i'm afraid
[13:10] <bobthemil> I think the correct drivers are called "r128"
[13:10] <Eghie> SAML SSO services need to have a synchronized time :S
[13:10] <bobthemil> Do you know where I could find those?
[13:10] <rlt> Eghie: really? I swear it did last time I used it...
[13:10] <snek> bobthemil: hmm let me have a look..
[13:11] <Cyberai> I'm having a DNS or proxy issue of some sort here. I got up this morning and no websites will resolve unless I use tor. I turned off tor, turned off the proxy settings in firefox, looked at my resolv.conf and my /etc/hosts. Everyting looks normal. But still nothing will resolve for any internet app that uses dns. Can anyone help?
[13:11] <Eghie> rlt: my offset is not even getting smaller
[13:11] <snek> bobthemil: sudo aptitude install server-xorg-video-r128
[13:11] <snek> err: xserver-xorg-video-r128
[13:12] <snek> then in xorg.conf it should just be r128 (i guess)
[13:12] <naiv> snek : 5 minutes to open a terminal window, then 3 to have the prompt, and 4 to have the result of dmesg (but no problem in it), maybe i haven't enough memory ?
[13:12] <snek> naiv: how much ram do you have?
[13:13] <naiv> snek: i don't know since it's not *my* imac, but the guy who gave it to me (so i install ubuntu for him) said ~10 years old iMac
[13:13] <bobthemil> snek: did that. appears to have modified xorg.conf to load the vesa drivers. I changed that line to r128, and am now rebooting KDM
[13:13] <bobthemil> and I get a lovely black screen and can't go back to ctrl-alt-f1
[13:14] <Eghie> rlt: hmm, maybe Xen could be the cause
[13:14] <snek> naiv: 10 years?? i don't think you should be running a modern heavy distro on it like ubuntu :S
[13:15] <snek> naiv: better of trying something like Fluxbuntu or UbuntuLite.. and even those might be heavy.. at least stay clear of any KDE or Gnome based distro's and go for Fluxbox, XFCE of LDXE based
[13:15] <error404notfound> does anyone know how to uninstall Nvidia Drivers that you download from their site and install using sh Nvidia*.run ?
[13:15] <snek> bobthemil: sounds like the resolution or refreshrate are now just too high
[13:15] <Eghie> rlt: Xen was the problem
[13:16] <naiv> snek: ok i gonna look about UbuntuLite, thx for the tip
[13:16] <Eghie> rlt: my Xen host was the one who was managing the time of it's guests
[13:16] <rlt> Eghie: ah, okay. How did you solve it, for future reference?
[13:16] <Eghie> rlt: using ntpdate on the Xen host itself
[13:16] <rlt> Eghie: okays. Good to know :)
[13:17] <Eghie> rlt: it immediatly changed the time to it's guests
[13:17] <bobthemil> Changed it back to vesa, KDE is booting fine (appears to still be 800x600)
[13:17] <Eghie> rlt: now I installed the ntp daemon on the Xen host to leave it synchronized
[13:19] <bobthemil> snek: okay. So i got KDE up and running. but it will only let me choose 800x600 or 640x480, but i know the monitor and video card support 1024x768 (and also possibly higher?)
[13:19] <bobthemil> should i just modify xorg.conf or what?
[13:20] <snek> yeah, don't bother with kde.. manually changing is always better i find (unless you mess up the config hehehe)
[13:20] <snek> bobthemil: http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/r128.4.html
[13:20] <bobthemil> Oh man! That thing looks like it'll have a wealth of information. ty
[13:22] <snek> bobthemil: some more info on xorg.conf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973
[13:23] <bobthemil> Okay
[13:23] <freakynl> is there some place i can get the config for 8.04 linux-image-virtual? it's beyond me why there isn't a /proc/config ... :(
[13:23] <bobthemil> Evidently the problem before was that the refresh rate was 60, when it needed to be 61
[13:23] <bobthemil> (with the screen being garbled)
[13:23] <rlt> is there an ubottu factoid listing all the #ubuntu- channels?
[13:23] <Pici> !irc | rlt
[13:23] <bobthemil> i gotta go to class, but i'll look at those pages when i get back
[13:23] <blip-> hi, anyone know the default mysql root passwd on ubuntu 8.04 ?
[13:24] <rlt> blip-: you should have been prompted to set it during installation of the mysql package
[13:24] <inkspilled> hi
[13:24] <blip-> rlt, i wasn't for some reason. i used apt-get
[13:24] <sidewalk> can anyone recommend a snow application for X which snows infront of the windows?
[13:24] <blip-> sidewalk, compiz fusion has such a tool
[13:25] <rlt> blip-: hmm. These instructions are for gutsy, but they should work for hardy too: http://ubuntu.flowconsult.at/en/mysql-set-change-reset-root-password/
[13:25] <freakynl> there's a way to start mysql w/o grant tables, just set the password then and restart mysql
[13:25] <bobthemil> snek: thank you very much for your help
[13:25] <freakynl> btw config is in /boot
[13:26] <snek> no problem, it's the first things i learned as well.. although i was running FreeBSD at the time and there was no GUI ;)
[13:26] <cdavis> I have a cdma card in my laptop and I need to get it enabled. How do I determine what the EIN is to call Verizon?
[13:29] <tv7497> guys a little problem well using ndiswrapper i installed my wg111v3 the problem is my ibex isnt detecting the usb card i guess but lsusb http://paste.ubuntu.com/79802/ shows it does what might be the problem ?? the usb is not gone works wonderfully in windows
[13:30] <ddgoose> cdavis, built in or ?
[13:31] <Vinceman> it's so weird, for the java lessons they recommend firefox, yet it is supposed to be a multibrowserplatform programming language
[13:32] <cdavis> ddgoose, yes built in
[13:32] <tv7497> anyone ??????
[13:33] <Neaai> I'm having difficulties setting up X properly using the nVidia proprietary drivers for accelerated graphics. It used to work ok but these last days it shows a message "the card was not properly detected" and the system switches to low graphics mode. Any hints what to check ?
[13:33] <tomcheng76> tv7497: I suggest you get NDISwrapper, install the following drivers http://www.avengergear.com/upload/WG111v3.tar.bz2 then it should hopefully work. I think you have to type in the name of your network though.
[13:34] <zamba> is there a tool that implements the most common hashing functions? i need to figure out what function has been used to create a hash, so i need to visually compare them
[13:34] <Neaai> I've tried reinstalling the xserver-xorg and reconfiguring it to no avail.
[13:34] <tomcheng76> tv7497: copy from here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=716804
[13:35] <tv7497> tomcheng76: sir it literally worked yesterday all of a sudden it stopped thats the problem
[13:35] <rlt> zamba: openssl. See man openssl.
[13:36] <zamba> rlt: it implements all the different hashing functions?
[13:37] <ddgoose> cdavis, laptop make/model?
[13:37] <tomcheng76> tv7497: sorry i can't help, did u upgrade package today ?
[13:37] <Ohmu> I've just installed wicd.  Do I have to run '/etc/init.d/networking restart' ?  do i still have to modify my /etc/network/interfaces?
[13:38] <Mimi> *cricket*
[13:38] <rlt> zamba: there's a full list of functions it implements in the man page. Looks like it does to me.
[13:39] <error404notfound> I can't get my mic to work, it works fine on other machines, on mine, skype test call doesn't hear anything....
[13:41] <Dialogue62> Which is the right channel to ask when OpenOffice 3 will be Ubuntu ready?
[13:43] <rlt> Dialogue62: here. We don't know. It'll make it to backport eventually, hopefully, and will be in !Jaunty. There's a PPA for it right now, but it's currently offline due to bugginess.
[13:43] <Neaai> Dialogue62: probably no channel. You basically check the ubuntu webpage. After all opensource doesn't work much with 'deadlines' as a line of thought.
[13:43] <tsurc_> Hi, Ive got 1462 users I'm trying to add to a group, when I update nis to recreate the maps its telling me the list is too long. Any ideas?
[13:44] <SkittleLinux18_> hey! anyone know any good sites to learn about internet security for Linux?
[13:44] <fosco_> SkittleLinux18_: linux and ubuntu have a pretty good security level by default
[13:44] <SkittleLinux18_> <----- *waits to see how many www.ubuntuforums.org/.... links pop up*
[13:45] <SkittleLinux18_> i agree, but not everyone else does
[13:45] <Neaai> SkittleLinux18_: http://www.linuxsecurity.com/docs/LDP/Security-HOWTO/
[13:46] <cdavis> ddgoose, Dell E6400
[13:46] <SkittleLinux18_> i think that we are safe from like viruses, spyware, trojans, ect... but stuff i am reading is leading me to believe that linux can still be cracked for information
[13:46] <jgoguen> anyone have any idea why pressing Alt+F2 and entering 'nm-applet --sm-disable' would result in '/home/$USER/nm-applet --sm-disable: No such file or directory' but other commands in Alt+F2 work fine?
[13:46] <Neaai> SkittleLinux18_: there's NO absolute secure system, but an unplugged system.
[13:47] <scientes> how do i do remote X server?
[13:47] <SkittleLinux18_> Neaai: I totally agree. believe me, i'm not complaining. i think linux is great! but I still want to be one step ahead of the scriptkitties and virus writers. =D
[13:48] <Neaai> SkittleLinux18_: then one of the first thing you do is:  sudo apt-get install rkhunter"
[13:48] <Neaai> (remove quote at end)
[13:48] <PeskyJ> ok, the screen has gone totally blank (won't wake up after screen-saver) - I can't connect by VNC but I have managed to connect by Xming (XMRPC?)
[13:48] <PeskyJ> this happens occasionally - how can I find out what's gone wrong?
[13:49] <Dialogue62> SkittleLinux18, try this: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialInternetSecurity.html
[13:49] <EQUIV> does ubuntu have better suport for nvidia than ati?
[13:49] <SkittleLinux18_> Neaai:  sweet! thanks man!
[13:50] <ikonia> EQUIV linux has better nvidia support than ati
[13:50] <EQUIV> ikonia, okey thx
[13:50] <SkittleLinux18_> Dialogue62: thanks man!
[13:51] <scientes> the turtle dances :)
[13:51] <PeskyJ> ps shows that gnome-screensaver with a child task of siporgraph -r is still running, if that helps
[13:52] <HighJacker> can anyone tell me why the sound in X (music) stops when changing ALT+CTRL F[1-6] to console. new ubuntu "feature"?
[13:52] <SkittleLinux18_> Neaai: sweet, rkhunter installed!
[13:53] <Neaai> SkittleLinux18_: now run:  sudo rkhunter -c
[13:53] <Neaai> SkittleLinux18_: and do that every once in a while to see what's going on around your system at a first glance.
[13:53] <bikak0> hello all! hey, how do i check if var is set/not zero in bash? i did if [-d ] then; ... ... thanks!
[13:53] <PeskyJ> is it possible that mouse/keyboard input has just been disabled somehow? I notice caps-lock and num-lock on the local keyboard doesn't change the lights state
[13:54] <Luis9955> how do I install GTK Aurora?
[13:54] <jrib> HighJacker: a good guess would be pulseaudio, don't know any workarounds though
[13:55] <PeskyJ> is it safe to kill the screensaver?
[13:55] <SkittleLinux18_> Neaai: right on, thanks man!
[13:55] <HighJacker> jrib: is it only here or on every maschine?
[13:55] <Neaai> PeskyJ: I'd guess it's fine.
[13:55] <jrib> HighJacker: it happens on my machine too if that's what you are asking
[13:55] <HighJacker> jrib, right
[13:55] <rlt> PeskyJ: should be, yes
[13:58] <PeskyJ> spirograph is taking up almost 100% (of one) CPU - what does RNL mean in the state column of ps?
[13:59] <BuGGie> hi
[13:59] <PeskyJ> I killed spirograph process... no effect, so kill -9ed it and now it's still there but the state has changed to DN and it's gone into [square brackets] in the ps list
[14:00] <rlt> PeskyJ: R=running, N=low-priority (niced). Not sure about L.
[14:00] <PeskyJ> it's still taking up 99% CPU :/
[14:00] <rlt> PeskyJ: try killing gnome-screensaver
[14:01] <SkittleLinux18_> ok, i ran the check, but i have hit some "WARNING" and "FOUND" notices. so i haven't hit enter to continue yet because i wanted to see what they are
[14:01] <SkittleLinux18_> for example:    Checking if SSH root access is allowed                   [ Warning ]
[14:02] <PeskyJ> rlt: that seemed to work in that the process is gone, but orphaned [spirographx] is still running and the local display hasn't come back to life
[14:02] <rlt> SkittleLinux18_: the SSH one is complaining about PermitRootLogins=yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. That setting doesn't effect Ubuntu because the root user is disabled.
[14:02] <rlt> SkittleLinux18_: erm, affect **
[14:03] <yadid> how do i install open office 3?
[14:04] <ndlovu> anyone care to help me write a short bash script? here's what I want to do: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79823/
[14:04] <rlt> yadid: It's not available in the official Ubuntu repositories yet. It'll be in !backports eventually, and will be in the next release of Ubuntu, !Jaunty. There's a PPA repository that would usually have it, but is currently down due to some bugs found in its packages. That should be back up sometime soon. Other methods of using it are discouraged, and may cause you problems when official packages come out, or may not get security updates.
[14:04] <omegamormegil> I notice a recurring period of unexplainable high processor activity while browsing in Firefox in Intrepid.  I'll just be doing some reading and Firefox will suddenly go gray for 5-10 seconds, and then it just goes away.  Has anyone else seen this?
[14:05] <jrib> ndlovu: are you trying to rewrite fdupes?
[14:05] <yadid> ty bro
[14:05] <SkittleLinux18_> rlt: ok, thanks
[14:05] <SkittleLinux18_> next:     Checking for hidden files and directories                [ Warning ]
[14:06] <PeskyJ> rlt: if kill -9 doesn't work to kill it, is there some way to tell the kernel to starve that thread?
[14:06] <ndlovu> jrib, will fdupes do that? afaik, fdupes will not tell me which files are *not* duplicated. unless I'm missing something...
[14:06] <PeskyJ> rlt: mind, that probably wouldn't bring the display back
[14:06] <rlt> PeskyJ: I don't know. We've hit my knowledge limit now :(
[14:06] <jrib> ndlovu: I was just trying to guess what your end goal was
[14:07] <rlt> SkittleLinux18_: looks like you should be able to get more detail on the warnings from /var/log/rkhunter.log . That'd help diagnose what it's talking about with that warning.
[14:07] <jrib> ndlovu: you should try #bash if you want to write it in bash
[14:07] <ndlovu> jrib, thanks, I'll try there
[14:07] <conde> thinkpad T61 ubuntu 8.10 when I try to toggle audio recording from capture it gets "untoggled" after I close the volume control
[14:08] <PeskyJ> rlt: aargh, apparently the D in the status means uninterruptable sleep :/
[14:08] <conde> anyone has heard of similar problems?
[14:08] <SkittleLinux18_> rlt:  ok perfect, now i don't have to bug you folks every two minutes haha
[14:09] <rlt> SkittleLinux18_: yeah, might be a good idea to just go through it, then !pastebin the log file (check it for sensitive information first, iono what exactly is in it), and we can look at it all at once :)
[14:09] <ValentineXX> Hi i have a very serious problem what will you do if someone is pointing gun towards you and saying to you to stop using ubuntu, what will you do
[14:09] <|GaiJin|> guys... anyone here know how i can make the Archive Manager to mount my iso's in a way that will enable me to run the .exe files using wine... i have to "unpack" it now, and then install...
[14:09] <jrib> !ot | ValentineXX
[14:10] <SkittleLinux18_> the good news is, now that the whole check is done, it's saying that i don't have any suspect files, applications, or rootkits
[14:10] <rlt> !iso | |GaiJin|
[14:10] <Asako> |GaiJin|, use the loopback device
[14:10] <fosco_> |GaiJin|: yo can use the mount command
[14:10] <SkittleLinux18_> so i think i am clean for now
[14:10] <rlt> SkittleLinux18_: huzzah :)
[14:10] <SkittleLinux18_> haha
[14:10] <SkittleLinux18_> sweet!
[14:10] <SkittleLinux18_> thanks you guys!
[14:10] <Symbios> why this problem tar: Removing leading '/' from member names ?
[14:11] <|GaiJin|> i know that-... but when rightclicking an iso in the explorer thingy, you get an option to mount it using the archive mounter...
[14:11] <jrib> Symbios: what problem?
[14:11] <Asako> Symbios, that's not an error
[14:11] <wers> !trash
[14:11] <rlt> Symbios: that isn't a problem, just a warning, I think.
[14:11] <DarkKnight> hey while installing my new printer i dont seem to be seeing my printer version...but i do see other versions
[14:12] <PeskyJ> after screensaver runs for 10 minutes and gnome sends the whole display to sleep, how can I tell gnome to wake it up again and ignore the screensaver?
[14:12] <DarkKnight> hey while installing my new printer i dont seem to be seeing my printer version...but i do see other versions
[14:14] <PeskyJ> maybe there's some way to restart xorg and it will save its state and can reconnect to all the running programs?
[14:14] <omegamormegil> conde:  Yes, I've seen the mute issue.  See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/volume.app/+bug/291458
[14:14] <conde> omegamormegil: thanks, gonna have a look
[14:14] <Ohmu> All, I had my thinkpad running perfectly as a Wireless Access-Point.  Now I've upgraded Heron->Ibex, it's broken.  Please can someone help me..?
[14:14] <PeskyJ> or maybe x-session-manager
[14:16] <conde> omegamormegil: looks like the issue is not solved, any idea how I could help to solve it?
[14:16] <DarkKnight> hey while installing my new printer i dont seem to be seeing my printer version...but i do see other versions
[14:17] <VSpike> I'm sure this normally works! I have an .iso file and I'm doing "sudo fsck -f blah.iso", and it's giving me the usage info.  What am I doing wrong?
[14:17] <slack_baphomet> any tips on how to setup a quick vnc/remote desktop connextion from a mac to my linux box
[14:17] <xteejx> NEWS: This isn't spam guys I'm a triager for Bug Control http://launchpad.net/~xteejx, but since this is the support channel - I just found out - if you bought a laptop/Pc from PC World/dixons/currys etc in the UK you ARE now covered under the monthly protection plan for hardware fault only and accidental damage despite what they tell you instore (UK only i think)
[14:17] <xteejx> i just rang them sorry if you think this is spam is not guys just helpful info :)
[14:18] <VSpike> Ah .. I have to use fsck.ext3 .. now, what is that?
[14:18] <ddgoose> why would you fsck an .iso file?
[14:18] <DarkKnight> hey while installing my new printer i dont seem to be seeing my printer version...but i do see other versions
[14:18] <Pici> xteejx: This is the Ubuntu support channel, and that doesn't really seem Ubuntu related at all.
[14:18] <BridgeInhabitant> Hi, I need some help diagnosing random system freezes
[14:19] <DarkKnight> how to install hplip
[14:19] <xteejx> pici: I know, but 75% of PCs are bought from them in the UK it seemed relevant to linux users as a whole :)
[14:19] <xteejx> fsck is to check filesystems, not ISOs
[14:19] <Ohmu> xteejx, #hardware would be interested
[14:19] <Pici> xteejx: Still, its offtopic for here.
[14:20] <omegamormegil> conde:  Well, you could check to see if it's fixed in the Jaunty alpha, but this is challenging as they haven't released a Live image yet.  You'd have to install it.  The bug also needs to be triaged and reported upstream.  Duplicates need to be marked as such.  There might already be a more developed bug report than this one about this issue, but I haven't found one yet.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage
[14:20] <Ohmu> Well, there's precious little else going on in the channel so I for one don't really mind
[14:20] <rookeeeeeeeee> ok guys can someone please tell me how to undo this command? rm ~/.mozilla; mv ~/.mozilla_old ~/.mozilla
[14:20] <DarkKnight> how to install hplip
[14:20] <Pici> rookeeeeeeeee: You can't undo an 'rm'
[14:21] <Ohmu> rookeeeeeeeee,  you could rm it again and reinstall...
[14:21] <xteejx> rookeeee: cannot undo rm command, try reinstalling firefox from within synaptic
[14:21] <Jack_Sparrow> rookeeeeeeeee you dont
[14:21] <VSpike> xteejx / ddgoose : it's the image of an ext3 filesystem extracted with ddrescue.  So, perhaps .iso the wrong terminology?
[14:21] <jrib> rookeeeeeeeee: that command is broken seeing as ~/.mozilla/ was probably a directory
[14:21] <Pici> jrib: good point
[14:21] <conde> omegamormegil: thank you, I just signed in to launchpad to confirm the issue, I hope that helps too,
[14:22] <omegamormegil> conde:  No problem.  I want it fixed too.
[14:22] <Jack_Sparrow> any decent placed to dl the intrepid iso that dont fail during the last minutes repeatedly
[14:22] <snek> use torrents
[14:22] <jrib> Jack_Sparrow: torrents
[14:23] <Jack_Sparrow> I dont use torrents
[14:23] <Ohmu> Can anyone help me understand the connection between GUI network stuff (WiCD or networkManager) and commandline/configfile stuff (eg sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart, or  /etc/network/interfaces)
[14:23] <ValentineXX> System Monitor is telling something else and free -m is telling something else about my memory usage and free memory,
[14:23] <snek> Jack_Sparrow: then make sure you md5 it after downloading to make sure it was done
[14:23] <slicslak> i have an acer al2216w display that can run at 1680x1050.  that's what the screen resolution is set to right now (autodetected on install), but the display looks horrible and if i go into the monitor's configuration (via the buttons at the front) it says the display is running at 1280x1024.
[14:23] <Jack_Sparrow> why do they even show they have it for dl
[14:23] <snek> Jack_Sparrow: and maybe use a downloading client which can resume downloads in case it stops
[14:23] <BridgeInhabitant> can someone please help me solve why after updating recently ubuntu now locks up completely causing the fan to run at full revs randomly during use and when idle?
[14:24] <yadid> should i stay with evolution mail or better work with thunderbird?
[14:24] <jrib> yadid: it's your personal preference
[14:24] <Ohmu> BridgeInhabitant, get htop and see whats chewing the cpu, maybe
[14:24] <snek> Jack_Sparrow: there are thousands of mirrors, just because one (or maybe your own connection) isn't good is a stupid reason to blame Ubuntu for having a download link on their site
[14:24] <VSpike> yadid: IME thunderbird interacts slightly better with Outlook ppls
[14:24] <n8tuser> Ohmu-> icons you click normally have commands behind them, do a right click and look at the propertied, then investigate the command or script for it
[14:24] <Jack_Sparrow> snek I have tried two different cable connections and one dsl and half a dozen sites .
[14:24] <VSpike> yadid: although only evolution can talk to an exchange server
[14:25] <yadid> i dont like outlook that much
[14:25] <VSpike> yadid: I hate it.. but everyone I work with uses it
[14:25] <BridgeInhabitant> Ohmu, nothing is chewing up cpu though
[14:25] <simplexio> BridgeInhabitant: top , press p to sort process by cpu usage, check dmesg to see if there is something funny
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> snek and it has nothing to do with ubuntu, and everything to do with the different mirror hosting sites
[14:25] <yadid> same here, every1 in the association i work with r stuck with microsoft
[14:25] <xteejx> question: anyone know what happened to the script for hotmail to check mail in thunderbird, might have been evolution....
[14:25] <yadid> infact its the first linux computer in 10 years there
[14:26] <ksbalaji> after a system update, the system has considerably slowed down. Please help
[14:26] <yadid> my boss let me try it
[14:26] <BridgeInhabitant> simplexio, I know how to use top but nothing appears to be out of the ordinary
[14:26] <simplexio> BridgeInhabitant: then check dmesg
[14:26] <snek> jack_sparrow: but why not use torrents? it's the most reliable method.. and it's not complicated or anything..
[14:26] <Neff> Hi people, I need your help! I'm trying to play a real media stream with banshee (http://real.xobix.ch/live/rsi3.ram) but it doesn't work at all. Do you know if it is possible to make banshee work with this kind of streams or should I change my mediaplayer?
[14:26] <VSpike> yadid: well, if your outlook friends use html mail etc, thunderbird tends to render it better
[14:26] <Jack_Sparrow> snek we are offtopoic.. I choose NOT to use the torrents
[14:26] <xteejx> yadid: Seconded
[14:27] <phpwutz> @Neff don't know if banshee can handle that really - for streams VLC is quiet nice
[14:27] <ksbalaji> Jack_Sparrow, my system has slowed down after a system update. Please guide.
[14:27] <BridgeInhabitant> simplexio, dmesg hasn't logged anything because the system crashed as in locked up, wouldn't let me do anything or let itself write log entries
[14:27] <snek> jack_sparrow: then i'm not helping you further.. good luck
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> ksbalaji sorry , working on so other things atm
[14:27] <yadid> i'll check thunderbird out than, may be it will work better than evolution
[14:28] <yadid> does it live messeges on the server though? so others can take it later?
[14:28] <VSpike> yadid: it can, yes
[14:28] <xteejx> ksbajali: how did you do the update? what has slowed down? does anything else seem out of the ordinary? is compiz enabled?
[14:28] <yadid> good, ty
[14:28] <maD3-liNUx> hallo ..my compiz cannot use the wallpaper plugin on ibex ..can u help me??\
[14:28] <ksbalaji> Jack_Sparrow, np thanks - you had been helping me a lot other times anyway.
[14:28] <omegamormegil> Jack_Sparrow:  If you can't download it, and don't want to use torrents, use shipit.  https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
[14:29] <VSpike> Jack_Sparrow: what about jigdo?
[14:29] <xteejx> note: shipit takes 4-6 weeks for delivery
[14:29] <maD3-liNUx> my ibex is upgrading from heron
[14:29] <ksbalaji> after a system update, the system has considerably slowed down. Please help
[14:29] <rakesh> rocky
[14:29] <adub> what are some cool web applications i can stick on my apache server currently i have base, twiki, and zoneminder installed????
[14:29] <xteejx> ksbajali: Can you answer the above questions to help resolve the problem please?
[14:29] <rakesh> hello i need some help to configure my desktop
[14:29] <ubuntu> hello I'm in the live CD and i'd like to know if all peripherals are recognized correcly before to install ubuntu on Asus Laptop x53sr... what i have to do?
[14:29] <Juliada> maD3-liNUx: maybe it is worth to do a clean install
[14:30] <phpwutz> heyo, my OpenOffice isn't working anymore since an update about 1 week ago. I read many people had this issue. Are there any fixes already?
[14:30] <Jack_Sparrow> omegamormegil I can get the iso, just frustrated at how many people waste time trying those.  I am more suspect of our isp's fouling them up
[14:30] <znik> how can i upgrade my kernel from 2.6.24-21-generic to 2.6.27
[14:30] <rakesh> hey help to configure my desktop
[14:30] <Neff> phpwutz: thanks for your reply! I tried Rhythmbox and it worked but I'm a bit disappointed because I wanted to use only one media player for all my radio-podcasting and music and Rhythmbox doesn't manage video podcasts. I even tried other solutions like songbird and amarok, but they were no use. Amarok is not a gnome app and songbird seems unable to play real media streams... I know that I'm a bit sofisticated maybe ;) but I want to hope :D
[14:30] <xteejx> znik: upgrade to Intrepid
[14:30] <Rainarrow> ubuntu, just try them out, like keyboard, touchpad and sound
[14:30] <znik> xteejx does that have kernel 2.6.27 ?
[14:31] <Juliada> znik: or you can go to www.kernel.org and compile yourself
[14:31] <simplexio> BridgeInhabitant: then cant help you, you could try another kernel
[14:31] <maD3-liNUx> i have to try ..completly remove the compiz package ...an re-install them ..but change anything??
[14:31] <allquixotic> Heya! mp3 support in libshout is broken on Ubuntu 8.10 because of a one-line patch in 2.2.2-4: if(mh->layer != 2 || mh->layer != 1) was checked in, instead of just if(mh->layer != 2). It's now saying basically, if(false), because no integer equals 2 and 1 at the same time. So it never decodes mp3. Can 2.2.2-5 (currently Jaunty) be pushed to intrepid? It reverts this patch.
[14:31] <xteejx> ubuntu: Note that LiveCDs are usually about 1-2 months old, installing and then doing all updates should solve any hardware problems as the kernel has changed twice since the liveCD build.
[14:31] <dan_> I am using squid 3 on ubuntu 8.10. I am using squid_ldap_auth to authenticate users and log access to access.log. I want transparent authentication, I do not want users prompted for username/password everytime they fire up a web browser, is this possible?
[14:31] <DarkKnight> hey while installing my new printer i dont seem to be seeing my printer version...but i do see other versions
[14:31] <Pici> allquixotic: Log a bug for the package.
[14:31] <rakesh> hey plss help mee
[14:31] <Pici> !bugs | allquixotic
[14:31] <xteejx> allquitoxic: Report as bug and see #ubuntu-bugs
[14:32] <Pici> !ask | rakesh
[14:32] <phpwutz> @Neff i can understand that you want only 1 player, but unless there comes an all-in-one-solution that handles absolutely everything you may have to use multiple players. i know thats kinda disappointing, but i didnt find another way for myself...maybe someone else can help you better
[14:32] <BridgeInhabitant> simplexio, I've noticed a lot of errors occuring from my wireless drivers but I am not using wireless. Is there a chance that somehow whilst wireless isn't being used to connect to the internet the drivers are somehow causing my laptop to lock up?
[14:32] <xteejx> Neff: I tend to use VLC and ubuntu-restricted-extras, it usually comes with everything you need
[14:32] <rakesh> i need to add some desktop applets
[14:33] <allquixotic> xteejx, Pici: there have been several bugs about it; I think my question is more related to release management. The problem and the fix are both Ubuntu packages now; the request would be to have libshout 2.2.2-5 pulled from jaunty into intrepid. But if it's too late in the post-release cycle....
[14:33] <Joerie> I'm new to linux and have ubuntu 8.04 now, and having graphic driver problems. Anyone experienced with that?
[14:33] <simplexio> BridgeInhabitant: well it shouldnt.
[14:33] <Shihan> hi guys... im kinda in a bit of a broken state...i've tried to install a .deb file and now it wont uninstall or install... tried to force its removal and purge it and so forth.. but im kinda getting nowhere... any suggestions?
[14:33] <Rainarrow> Joerie, what video card do you have?
[14:33] <alarm> hello. i got a problem and i dont know where i should refer about it (xorg , ubuntu, here ? ) . After (although i am not exactly sure about it) installing the new kernel  2.6.24-22-generic on my ubuntu system 8.04. i noticed a huge amount of cpu usage. Every time i scroll in firefox on a page. xorg gets a cpu usage likr 60 to 100% , and everything freezes for a few seconds .
[14:33] <Pici> allquixotic: Request a backport then: take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#How%20to%20request%20new%20packages
[14:33] <simplexio> BridgeInhabitant: but try use older kernel first
[14:33] <phpwutz> @Shihan error message could help a lot ;)
[14:33] <xteejx> allquixotic: You can try and speak to backports about getting it backported maybe? If there aren't too many dependency issues they should do it
[14:33] <Joerie> Intel GMA 245 (intern, on a laptop)
[14:33] <maD3-liNUx> Juliada: have u work compiz with wallpaper plugin on ibex??
[14:34] <BridgeInhabitant> simplexio, I had problems with heron thus switched back to gutsy and am now having problems with intrepid
[14:34] <rakesh> how to mount ntfs drives
[14:34] <xteejx> pici: lol you're good :)
[14:34] <znik> is it OK if i upgrade my kernel with this command: # apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.27.7
[14:34] <allquixotic> Pici: thanks
[14:34] <phpwutz> @rakesh look up /etc/fstab
[14:34] <Juliada> maD3-liNUx: no... I have turned off Compiz because it has caused many crashes...
[14:34] <xteejx> znik: Not advisable
[14:34] <simplexio> BridgeInhabitant: you could try acpi=off when booting next time
[14:34] <allquixotic> xteejx: No dependency issues. It's a single line of code. 2.2.2-4 deliberately and completely breaks half of libshout's functionality. 2.2.2-5 fixes it.
[14:34] <znik> xteejx then how should i ?
[14:35] <ksbalaji> xteejx, just as usual - using adept manager for a full update. Only difference is, this time after a long gap, i had a new upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-22-generic
[14:35] <BridgeInhabitant> simplexio, after heron wireless was active whilst ethernet was in use unlike gutsy which prevent the use of both
[14:35] <allquixotic> xteejx: It's a simple logic error that wasn't QA'ed at all. It's rather bothersome that such a change even got *committed*.
[14:35] <smnab> does any one know whether theoretically, ubuntu 64 bit would have higher performance than 32 bit out of the box? and why?
[14:35] <ubuntu> so if i have understud there'is no way to check before if hardware is supported installing ubuntu
[14:35] <xteejx> allquix: OK, then speak to backports as stated above and request it to be pulled from jaunty into the backports :)
[14:35] <BridgeInhabitant> simplexio, I can manually disable the wireless device as my laptop includes a hardware switch for it
[14:35] <xteejx> znik: upgrade to intrepid - sudo update-manager -d
[14:36] <Rainarrow> Joerie, I've never heard about GMA 245. are you sure you got the model right? Try lspci|grep -i GMA to see what's being reported
[14:36] <simplexio> BridgeInhabitant: then try that, and because we are talking laptop check temperatures
[14:36] <Juliada> rakesh: install ntfs-config
[14:36] <maD3-liNUx> juliada: i have crashed too ..but after updating the compiz package never crashed again..
[14:36] <Shihan> phpwutz: errors from the broken package, http://paste.ubuntu.com/79842/
[14:37] <silfur> smnab: 64 bit only allows for memory to be loaded, and is better for some cryptography stuff
[14:37] <Rainarrow> ubuntu, it'll be the same system as on the LiveCD after you install it
[14:37] <rakesh> hey any one know how to configure desktop as in mac os
[14:37] <Juliada> maD3-liNUx: mine crashes every time... I guess I have to live without it...
[14:37] <alarm> any suggestions ?
[14:37] <Rainarrow> ubuntu, just try out as many hardware as possible in the LiveCD environment to see if it's working
[14:37] <ksbalaji> xteejx, It takes time for me to wait to see what I have typed. My compiz works -albeit slowly! Any window shows up after 15 seconds after click.
[14:37] <simplexio> smnab: 64bit isnt woth of hassle if you dont have more than 4G RAM is quite popular opinion
[14:37] <rakesh> hey any one know how to configure desktop as in mac os
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> cairo-dock with the osx theme for one
[14:38] <smnab> simplexio: thanks for the information
[14:38] <dimebar> rakesh: go to gnome-look.org and find a theme
[14:38] <rakesh> can we have messenger so that we can have all the features of yahoo video and audio chatting
[14:38] <smnab> rakesh: try avant window navigator for the dock
[14:38] <rakesh> @dimebar how to open
[14:38] <omegamormegil> rakesh:  you need to be more specific.  Google avant window navigator
[14:38] <silfur> smnab: check this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit
[14:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !info awn
[14:39] <ubuntu> Rainarrow:  this is what I got doing lspci ..... http://paste.ubuntu.com/79836/
[14:39] <smnab> rakesh: there are many guides for making ubuntu look like Mac OSX, google for it.
[14:39] <rakesh> hey  like in mac os dude at the bottom of the desktop
[14:39] <dan_> I am using squid 3 on ubuntu 8.10. I am using squid_ldap_auth to authenticate users and log access to access.log. I want transparent authentication, I do not want users prompted for username/password everytime they fire up a web browser, is this possible?
[14:39] <rakesh> how to install new themes
[14:39] <ed0n0n> I am trying to use a CanoScan N670U scanner with xsane. It is not detected. I read it should work out of the box. What am I doing wrong? Do u know how to setup scanners in Ubuntu Hardy?
[14:39] <jxander> I have an external drive with a ntfs partition on it, connected through usb on an intrepid x86 xfce env, but i cannot delete folders... are there any settings i'm missing?
[14:40] <smnab> rakesh: yes, use avant window navigator for the "dock" (the thing is called a dock) at the bottom of the desktop
[14:40] <Appiah> jxander: are you using ntfs or ntfs-3g?
[14:40] <jrib> allquixotic: there are no libshout bugs open in launchpad?
[14:40] <Rainarrow> ubuntu, you've got quite generic(that is, not rarely seen) hardware. I've not seen your ethernet controller before, but other things should work well
[14:40] <BridgeInhabitant> simplexio, the acpi temperature stays around 42 degrees C, I even installed the sensors-applet to actively monitor it
[14:41] <jxander> Appiah: whatever came with Ubuntu 8.10 + updates...
[14:41] <maD3-liNUx> !start
[14:41] <Rainarrow> ubuntu, does your laptop come with a webcam or something?
[14:41] <Appiah> jxander: does not say me anything
[14:41] <Appiah> mind looking jxander ?
[14:41] <jxander> Appiah: how do i find out?
[14:41] <Appiah> type "mount" in a terminal
[14:41] <jxander> Appiah: check the packages?
[14:41] <Appiah> you can see what filesystem its mounted with
[14:41] <Rainarrow> ubuntu, but I don't the ethernet controller would pose a problem for you
[14:41] <jxander> Appiah: oh... sure :)
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> jxander plug the drive into a windows box and properly remove it to  clear the lock
[14:42] <omegamormegil> ubottu:  The package is avant-window-navigator, not awn.  It is in intrepid.
[14:42] <jxander> Jack_Sparrow: i can delete files, but not folders... still lock problem?
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> jxander of you can force mount the drive
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> jxander delete files but not folders..  how odd
[14:42] <Pici> !is a bot | omegamormegil
[14:42] <maxb> jxander: cannot delete *any* folder, or cannot delete a few specific folders?
[14:42] <DarkKnight> hey i can't D2568 in my printer types
[14:42] <Rainarrow> Jack_Sparrow, I think it may be the NTFS ACL?
[14:42] <allquixotic> jrib: Was that a question or a statement?
[14:42] <mee> can anyone tell me how to shrink the windows partition so i can take up more room for ubuntu?
[14:43] <mib_qepzkt> hello all
[14:43] <jxander> maxb: i'll try that
[14:43] <Rainarrow> mee, use gparted
[14:43] <omegamormegil> Oh.
[14:43] <ksbalaji> xteejx, listening? - Hope I am not too slow.
[14:43] <mee> ok thanks
[14:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Rainarrow still sleepy
[14:43] <jrib> allquixotic: both really.  You seem to have affirmed before that there were bugs open about it, but I don't find any.  Can you link to them?
[14:43] <Juliada> mee: you have to use Acronis disk Director Suit or any other program... I guess..
[14:43] <ubuntu> Rainarrow: yes it have also a cam
[14:43] <tomcheng76> mee: backup, defragment, burn gparted live iso, shrink, chkdisk
[14:43] <mib_qepzkt> Could someone help me with an installation issue?
[14:44] <mee> juliada will gparted work?
[14:44] <Jeruvy> Juliada: no gparted
[14:44] <jxander> Appiah: /dev/sdb1 on /media/Extern type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
[14:44] <allquixotic> jrib: The bug was filed against jaunty, evaluated, a fix proposed, and a fix committed -- to jaunty only.
[14:44] <kelli> any one use pidgin?
[14:44] <jrib> allquixotic: link?
[14:44] <phpwutz> yep
[14:44] <Juliada> mee: gparted will work
[14:44] <phpwutz> @kelli, yep
[14:44] <Rainarrow> kelli, I use pidgin on a daily basis
[14:44] <mee> tomcheng76, normal gparted wont work?
[14:44] <ahab> in 8.10 where is my jre?  nothing in "whereis java" works.
[14:45] <ed0n0n> can anyone help me configuring Sane?
[14:45] <kelli> phpwutz, ho do i swap pics?
[14:45] <Rainarrow> ubuntu, you should be able to try out your webcam use "luvcview" program.
[14:45] <Rainarrow> ubuntu, but basically Ubuntu should work well on your machine
[14:45] <allquixotic> jrib: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/libshout/2.2.2-5
[14:45] <ubuntu> Rainarrow: why you think that ethernet may be a problem?
[14:45] <tomcheng76> mee: the ntfs drive should not be mounted, the best is to run liveCD
[14:45] <allquixotic> jrib: Please look at the changelog for 2.2.2-5
[14:45] <jxander> maxb: looks like i can create folders and then delete them... now what :-s?
[14:46] <phpwutz> @kelli: go to "Accounts-[your Account]->edit Account"
[14:46] <Rainarrow> ubuntu, I just said I haven't seen it before, and I also said I DON'T think it'll be problematic
[14:46] <maxb> Do the problem folders look like odd windows-internal ones? What's the precise error if you try to "rmdir" one from the command line?
[14:46] <ubuntu> Rainarrow: ok thanks
[14:47] <mib_qepzkt> I've installed Ubuntu on an intel box. The install went fine, but when the login screen displays, it won't accept any input from my USB Mouse or keyboard
[14:47] <xteejx> ubuntu: You can check the Ubuntu Hardware Compatability Database. But 95% of hardware is supported with proprietary or open source drivers, and if its not I'm damn sure we can get them into the next release for you :)
[14:47] <phpwutz> @kelli then active the checkbox that says "use buddy icon" and select your pic :) (sorry if the menu items aren't called exactly like that, i'm on german ubuntu ;))
[14:47] <ed0n0n> can anyone help me configuring Sane? I get no devices available when using xsane. The support for my "CanoScan N670U/N676U/LiDE20" is Complete as it is says at www.sane-project.com. Can you help please?
[14:47] <smnab> mib_qepzkt: That is a strange problem, USB keyboards and mice worked fine out of the box for me always. what model was it? have you tried googling it?
[14:48] <mib_qepzkt> yes I did. Not much help. It's an Acer Aspire box
[14:48] <Joerie> Rainarrow: i've just tried to access the terminal but the lower part of my screen is frozen now xD (when returning) Not really sure what's happened here ...
[14:48] <jxander> maxb: directory not empty... but it's empty... i tried with sudo too, same thing
[14:48] <Jeruvy> mib_qepzkt: use a ps/2 keyboard and mouse to review the logs, is it a problem with lack of drivers or is it a problem with the usb port/hub?
[14:48] <jrib> allquixotic: I see, it's a screwy debian patch
[14:48] <Jack_Sparrow> jxander delete files but not folders..  how odd..  question can you make a folder and delete it?
[14:48] <mib_qepzkt> Not sure. I can try that. Thanks for the help
[14:49] <allquixotic> jrib: I wasn't aware that it was pulled in from Debian.
[14:49] <mib_qepzkt> Where do I view the logs. I'm a Linux newbie.
[14:49] <jxander> Jack_Sparrow: yes
[14:49] <ubuntu> last question: I'm still in live CD and i have tryied audio but i can't ear nothing, its normal?
[14:49] <maxb> jxander: Hmm, I was guessing "Operation not supported", which I've seen before trying to delete a reparse point. I guess you're going to have to get the drive into a windows box and chkdsk it.
[14:49] <Rainarrow> Joerie, you meant the lower panel? or the lower half of your screen
[14:49] <Jeruvy> mib_qepzkt: /var/log
[14:49] <olskolirc> hey guys how do I clear my java cache on Hardy please?
[14:49] <allquixotic> jrib: Either way, if you look at the actual change, it's.... testing if an integer (the layer of the MPEG stream) is equal to both 2 and 1 at the same time, which is never true. So the function silently exits.
[14:49] <ShAd`> hi
[14:49] <maD3-liNUx> @mib_qepzkt: /var/log
[14:49] <allquixotic> jrib: The lack of QA on that -- both from Debian and Ubuntu -- is scary.
[14:49] <Jack_Sparrow> jxander I am thinking the folder you are trying to delete is not empty
[14:50] <jxander> maxb: thanks... i'll try that...
[14:50] <mib_qepzkt> Thanks.
[14:50] <Juliada> jxander: rm -rf /path/to/directory try this
[14:50] <Asako> man, 8.10 is really nice
[14:50] <jxander> Jack_Sparrow: but looks empty... no hidden files...
[14:50] <Joerie> lower half of my sscreen; i can refresh is when switching workspaces
[14:50] <Jack_Sparrow> jxander see julia above
[14:50] <jxander> Juliada: trying right now
[14:50] <e-head> good morning
[14:50] <maD3-liNUx> Asako: I agreed:)
[14:50] <ubuntu> okok
[14:50] <olskolirc> hey guys how do I clear my java cache on Hardy please? anyone?
[14:50] <e-head> Anyone have mono running?
[14:50] <ubuntu> i'm going on
[14:50] <Joerie> Really weird effect...
[14:51] <maD3-liNUx> goog night e-head
[14:51] <allquixotic> jrib: The impact is that any application using libshout3 to stream MP3 data will silently fail. We discovered this while developing mpd 0.14, but it directly impacts the version of Darkice on Intrepid, and possibly others.
[14:51] <jxander> Juliada: still, not empty problem :(
[14:51] <tomcheng76> olskolirc: Java control panel ??
[14:51] <jxander> well, i'll try the windows stuff...
[14:51] <ccnix> good evenning
[14:51] <maD3-liNUx> jxander: can i know what your problem??
[14:52] <Shihan> is there anyway to completely destroy the remnants of a package in an inconsistent state?
[14:52] <ksbalaji> xteejx, I have envyng installed. Do I have to rinstall it again for better speedd?
[14:52] <jrib> allquixotic: it's actually always true, but that's the problem I guess.  n != 1 OR n != 2  will always evaluate true.  It's a debian package without ubuntu modifications, but the bug comes in from a debian patch, it's in debian/patches/1004_allow_mpeg_layer_III.patch .  I guess backports is the way to go here
[14:52] <Joerie> Rainarrow: anyway it was a typo, i meant Intel GMA 945...
[14:52] <olskolirc> I guess tomcheng76  how do I get to it please
[14:52] <Rainarrow> Joerie, lol, 945 is fairly common
[14:52] <allquixotic> jrib: If it's backported, won't a user have to enable the ubuntu-backports repository to get it?
[14:52] <kman82> hi all, I am off on holiday tomorrow, at the very least I realised I want to fall back on dial up (worst case scenario) but then I realised I can't even remember how to set it up
[14:52] <Rainarrow> Joerie, it took me a googleing to confirm that there's no GMA 245, lol
[14:53] <kman82> I've read http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html but is doesn't reflect changes in 8.10
[14:53] <kman82> So, how can I check my laptop modem is supported in 8.10, and do a test?
[14:53] <somethingclever> I have 512 of ram in my computer, but sysinfo only shows 492! how do i make it see all 512?
[14:53] <jxander> maD3-liNUx: I cannot delete folders on a ntfs partition from an external drive connected through usb...
[14:53] <jrib> !sru | allquixotic
[14:53] <ahab> in 8.10 where is my jre?  nothing in "whereis java" or "which java" works.
[14:53] <kman82> somethingclever, shared graphics card memory
[14:53] <Joerie> Rainarrow, just a mall typo :)
[14:53] <allquixotic> jrib: I was thinking a SRU, because (a) it's a serious regression, (b) the fix is obvious and extremely localized, (c) we already have 2.2.2-5 in jaunty with the fix
[14:53] <Jeruvy> kman82; boot from the livecd
[14:54] <jrib> allquixotic: I don't think it fits in with that criteria, but you can try asking #ubuntu-motu and file the bug of course.  It's not up to me in the end :)
[14:54] <Joerie> Rainarrow, if 945 is fairly common, are the graphic driver problems as well?
[14:54] <somethingclever> kman82, damn, can i turn the shared memory off?
[14:54] <Rainarrow> Joerie, ok what problem do you have with it?
[14:54] <kman82> yeah? and then what, it will show me if my modem is supported?
[14:54] <kman82> somethingclever, if you do, you won't have a screen
[14:54] <maD3-liNUx> jxander: meybe u can use "sudo" when delete the folder
[14:54] <kman82> Jeruvy, what will I see in livecd to help me with modem?
[14:54] <Joerie> Rainarrow, basicly, i have the same problems i would have when installing a new copy of windows (any version) an not yet installing graphic drivers...
[14:54] <somethingclever> kman82, Feck, alright, thanks for the quick answer
[14:54] <kman82> somethingclever, no worries, happy linuxing
[14:54] <Jeruvy> kman: yeah, and you can test it too...
[14:54] <aoupi> hi, How can I change amaroks title from "Amarok - $song" to just "$song", I'm using gnome
[14:55] <Juliada> jxander: maybe there is a problem with read/write privileges... You can access, but cannot delete...
[14:55] <PeskyJ> how can I find out what a process in D state is waiting on?
[14:55] <allquixotic> jrib: Ok, I'll report a bug.
[14:55] <kman82> Jeruvy, can't I just install whatever tools it uses on live to my installed setup?
[14:55] <Rainarrow> Joerie, you meant you don't have access to hi-resolutions?
[14:55] <jrib> allquixotic: just cite the debian bug 490070
[14:55] <jxander> Juliada: where do i check for that?
[14:55] <Joerie> That i do
[14:55] <Jeruvy> kman82: why would you?
[14:55] <kman82> Jeruvy, because, if it works I am going to have to do that anyway
[14:55] <maD3-liNUx> jxander: u can try this command ls -l
[14:56] <Joerie> But when changing anything graphical - from scrolling to playting a game - the screen hesitates & shakes
[14:56] <kman82> Jeruvy, what? I want to access my modem on holiday to get emails, I don't want to use livecd
[14:56] <ksbalaji> xteejx, ?
[14:56] <kman82> so I want ot setup my modem, normally. what is hard to understand about that?
[14:56] <Joerie> And now, the lower part of my screen is in a frozen state, pretty annoying ^
[14:56] <kman82> am I missing something?
[14:56] <maD3-liNUx> jxander: or u can use this command when deleted "sudo rm -rf /path/to/directory" ..?
[14:56] <Jeruvy> kman82: what is your question....seems you have a rant about something :)
[14:56] <jxander> maD3-liNUx: already tried that
[14:57] <Juliada> jxander: type "mount" in a terminal
[14:57] <kman82> Jeruvy, you answered me without reading my question? ok, well don't feel you have to talk to me anymore, thanks anyway
[14:57] <Rainarrow> Joerie, first save any opened document you have, then press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill your X, should get rid of your freezing problem
[14:57] <kman82> Anyone else - I have read http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html and also used efax to see if my modem is supported on 8.10 - no dice
[14:58] <jxander> Juliada: i have all the rights on those dirs... drwxrwxrwx
[14:58] <Jeruvy> kman82: your right I obviously can't help you.
[14:58] <jxander> Juliada: /dev/sdb1 on /media/Extern type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
[14:58] <kman82> Jeruvy, get lost, I ask how to get setup a modem connection (and test) you say test in live, I say, yeah, but can't I test outside of live, and you think I have a rant, find someone else to troll.
[14:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Juliada are they using fuseblk instead of ntfs-3g these days?
[14:59] <maD3-liNUx> jxander: have u try to re-plug the external harddisk ??
[15:00] <jxander> maD3-liNUx: yes... but i might need to try on a windows machine though
[15:00] <Jack_Sparrow> kman82 Please be polite or leave
[15:00] <Joerie> Rainarrow, its solved, thanks
[15:00] <Joerie> (the freezing problem)
[15:01] <UnknownUser56> !act
[15:01] <Rainarrow> Joerie, nice to know that, do you know which graphic driver are you using?
[15:01] <Jack_Sparrow> kman82 true hardware modems have never been an issue with any linux, only those low end winmodems
[15:02] <ksbalaji> After a long gap, I updated to Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-22-generic using adept-manager, full upgrade.  Now the system has considerably slowed down. Compiz works but slowly.Please help.
[15:02] <no89> is it possible to set up nfs on GUI?
[15:02] <kman82> Jack_Sparrow, yeah, I recall that painful era - but I never had to setup a laptop, and it was... 2000 when I got ADSL? 2001? fuzzy times :)
[15:02] <Juliada> Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu sees ntfs partition as fuseblk
[15:02] <kman82> Jack_Sparrow, I did lspci and there is no modem listed
[15:02] <ed0n0n> how can I check device permissions on a device?
[15:02] <Joerie> Have no idea, freshly installed Ubuntu and never used ubuntu/any other linux before...
[15:02] <fosco_> ed0n0n: ls -l /dev/device
[15:03] <Jack_Sparrow> kman82 did you say it worked running the livecd?
[15:03] <ed0n0n> fosco, cheers ;)
[15:03] <didrik> Hey, can anyone help me set up my keyboard setup?
[15:03] <kman82> Jack_Sparrow, I didn't boot into livecd -  was curious - what tool does livecd use? can't I just run it / install it?
[15:03] <kman82> I don't have a livecd here, I did the saintly thing and gave it to someone
[15:03] <Jack_Sparrow> kman82 so you have not had it work yet?
[15:04] <jrib> allquixotic: I didn't realize all 2.2.2-5 did was revert the patch (I incorrectly assumed it had other changes).  In that case, I agree with you :)
[15:04] <Jack_Sparrow> kman82 you should have made a copy for yourself or saved an iso of it
[15:04] <kman82> Jack_Sparrow, no, I followed http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html << but that interface doesn't exist, I tried efax, and wvdial
[15:04] <no89> could anyone tell me if it is possible to set up nfs on GUI?
[15:04] <Juliada> jxander: have you tried to delete directory manually?
[15:04] <kman82> Jack_Sparrow, I have the iso, I am just thinking - easier to install this tool that livecd uses
[15:04] <mikearthur|work> is ldd installed by default on Ubuntu?
[15:04] <Jack_Sparrow> kman82 none of those will work if the os doesnt see your modem
[15:04] <xnv> Jack_Sparrow: I agree with kman82... Why would you need a LiveCD?
[15:05] <kman82> ok, booting laptop into livecd, let's see the magic tool! :-)
[15:05] <ed0n0n> how do I mount a USB device in from /dev/bus/usb ?
[15:05] <didrik> Can anyone help me with some keyboard problems? :)
[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> xnv earlier his unclear writing suggested that it did work on livecd and he wanted to move that config to his hd install
[15:06] <kman82> Jack_Sparrow, ok, I can config it probably, I just wanted to know what apps it uses, to erm, set it up... or is it automagic?
[15:06] <rlt> !ask | ddgoose
[15:06] <rlt> !ask | didrik
[15:06] <anne> hello
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> !modem
[15:06] <rlt> ddgoose: (sorry, i fail at nick completion)
[15:06] <nepsys> any one can tell me who can join #ubuntu and how
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> nepsys you are here
[15:06] <rlt> nepsys: you're in #ubuntu ;). Anyone can join it.
[15:06] <jrib> nepsys: anyone, using an irc client
[15:06] <maD3-liNUx> ed0n0n: usb device on ubuntu its automaticaly mount brow
[15:06] <jxander> Juliada: how do you mean manually?
[15:06] <anne> is pulseaudio necessary under 8.04, because i have problem with my sound card, and i think problem is pulseaudio
[15:07] <Joerie> Rainarrow, when trying to see my drivers, it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system"
[15:07] <Juliada> jxander: ok... f you cd to the diectory, and type "ls," what does it say?
[15:07] <nepsys> yup but chanserv sayin , temporary access
[15:08] <Rainarrow> Joerie, press Alt+F2 and type "gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" without the quote and press ENTER
[15:08] <rlt> nepsys: oh! Yeah, if you're using a web proxy, you'll get redirected to a different channel, then invited to #ubuntu by the bot
[15:08] <shaka2> hi
[15:08] <maD3-liNUx> shaka2: hii too:)
[15:08] <didrik> Even though I have set my keyboard to danish, it just won't change it. Still english. Any ideas?
[15:08] <Rainarrow> Joerie, this should open your configuration file for X, look for "Section "Device"" in it
[15:08] <shaka2> I was wonder if someone could help me with the problems I'm having with my laptop and headphones
[15:08] <ed0n0n> maD3-liNUx: Im trying to use my USB scanner "CanonScan N670", it is not detected properly
[15:08] <jxander> Juliada: drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Dec  3 15:51
[15:08] <shaka2> Using the forum I've half fixed the problem
[15:09] <shaka2> the headphones work now
[15:09] <shaka2> but I can't mute the front speakers
[15:09] <Rainarrow> Joerie, you should see something like "Driver "intel"" in the Section labeled "Devices"
[15:09] <ksbalaji> After a long gap, I updated to Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-22-generic using adept-manager, full upgrade.  Now the system has considerably slowed down. Compiz works but slowly.Please help.
[15:09] <Jack_Sparrow> shaka2 /j #alsa
[15:09] <shaka2> ok
[15:09] <jxander> Juliada: i can rename the folder though... but still, can't be deleted
[15:10] <Joerie> The only think the "Devices" section holds is the Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
[15:10] <kman82> Jack_Sparrow, I am in live CD now on laptop - I also have that link you sent open, what am I looking for in livecd to see if modem 'detected'
[15:10] <rohdef> I got my Huawai E220 mobile modem to work mostly with the networkmanager, but how do I make it use my pin-code correctly?
[15:10] <abracadabra_> hi, how can i know what's the time of my linux shell server?
[15:10] <shaka2> thanks Jack_Sparrow
[15:10] <shiMMer> any1 use fluxbox here?
[15:10] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[15:10] <maD3-liNUx> ed0n0n: i'm sorry i guest the usb device is flashdrive:D
[15:10] <nepsys> thanks
[15:10] <nepsys> i will ...i am open source lover
[15:10] <ohmygod> my audio card doesn't work now , how to check it? It's playing when I logon to desktop
[15:10] <rlt> abracadabra_: issue the "date" command.
[15:10] <Juliada> jxander: from the directory that you want to delete type sudo -s, then type your password, and then rm -rf /path/to/the/directory
[15:10] <abracadabra_> ok
[15:11] <maD3-liNUx> 0ed0n0n: can u type this command "lsusb" on the terminal
[15:11] <kman82> Jack_Sparrow, I am in livecd - is there a tool or something that shows modem? I ran wvdial, but of course I could run that outside of livecd - same result
[15:11] <Frogging101> How do you reinstall ubuntu 8.10
[15:11] <rohdef> where do I suggest a setup for the manager, so the maintainers can add it?
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> kman82 just to verify, the modem was not autodetected in the live cd correct
[15:12] <kman82> Jack_Sparrow, I don't know - I wan to know how to find out if it is autodetected
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> kman82 lspci ?
[15:12] <ksbalaji> I updated to kernel 2.6.24-22-generic using adept-manager.  Now the system has slowed down. Compiz is slow. Help.
[15:12] <ohmygod> hello? who can tell me, how to check my sound card?
[15:12] <mikearthur|work> is ldd installed by default on Ubuntu?
[15:12] <Armada> I'm trying to decrypt a file, how can I utilize the phyton-crypto package?
[15:12] <Frogging101> How do you reinstall ubuntu 8.10? it is really broken
[15:12] <cast> Armada: by writing a python program.
[15:13] <Rainarrow> Joerie, do a "glxinfo|grep render"
[15:13] <shiMMer> jack::
[15:13] <cast> Frogging101: with an install cd, surely
[15:13] <Eldemon> can someone help me with a problem in wine-doors?
[15:13] <rohdef> kman82, what kind of modem (entered after you asked)
[15:13] <cast> ksbalaji: are you still using accelerated video?
[15:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Frogging101 drop in the cd and boot, if you have a sep /home it works better
[15:13] <ed0n0n> maD3-liNUx: np. Thanks anyway
[15:13] <kman82> rohdef, no idea - in laptop (intel chipset)
[15:13] <ksbalaji> How to find what is slowing down my system please?
[15:13] <Frogging101> cast: do you have to repartition again? and will it uninstall the old one?
[15:13] <maD3-liNUx> ed0n0n: u r welcome
[15:14] <ksbalaji> cast, what is accelerated video?
[15:14] <cast> Frogging101: up to you,
[15:14] <maD3-liNUx> Eldemon: may i can help u??
[15:14] <ohmygod> ksbalaji, u can use 'top'
[15:14] <rohdef> kman82, ah ok, I don't know anything about those, just that I found a lot of solutions for mine, so maybe I could be lucky and could help for once :p
[15:14] <AlexMax> Hi there.  I notice that apache's configuration files are split up six ways to sunday.  How 'automatic' is apache's configuration reading?  Like, if I put in a .conf file into /etc/apache2/mods-enabled, will it be read by apache?  Or do I need to modify something to tell apache to look for an extra conf file?
[15:14] <kman82> I see nothing modemy in lspci... audio device intel 'high definition audio controller' and a SMBus COntroller
[15:14] <Rainarrow> Frogging101, there's should be a step of installation where it ask you to format your partitions
[15:14] <kman82> nothing modemy though
[15:15] <Eldemon> maD3-liNUx:  yes, look http://rafb.net/p/4pIcC346.html
[15:15] <Rainarrow> Frogging101, which would wipe out the original installation, effectively "uninstall" it
[15:15] <Armada> Cast: Any other way that doesn't involve me learning phyton?
[15:15] <kman82> Jack_Sparrow, wvdial says no /dev/modem - if that is validation enough - and lspci seems to have nothing modemy
[15:16] <Armada> *python
[15:16] <IceWind> AlexMax: it reads it automagically
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> kman82 you will need to look into the linmodem project
[15:16] <ptym3k> ya des francais ici??
[15:16] <AlexMax> IceWind: Awesome thanks
[15:16] <kman82> ill run scan modem, yeah like you say
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !fr
[15:16] <jrib> Armada: not if you want to use python-crypto... you probably want to be more specific about what you are trying to do
[15:16] <kman82> Jack_Sparrow, so livecd waste of time ;-) back into real world
[15:16] <usamahashimi> Hello everyone!
[15:16] <IceWind> AlexMax: don't forget to put also the .load if you need to load a module.
[15:16] <maD3-liNUx> Eldemon: ups.. sorry i can't open the site ..because my bandwidth it's limited :D can u tell what's is your problem:D
[15:17] <cast> Armada: where did this file come from, what encrypted it?
[15:17] <allquixotic> jrib: How do I use the "nominate for release" feature?
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> kman82 you were the one that brought it up and were unclear in the first place... Not a waste of time to verify what you said earlier was wrong
[15:17] <snek> IceWind / AlexMax: i prefer putting the module in mods-available and then using a2enmod to enabled it.. although i guess that's just a symlink to mods-enabled?
[15:17] <DJones> !ch > DJones
[15:17] <Armada> jrib: I'm trying to decrypt a file using the XOR encryption cast: Probably CryptIt1.3
[15:17] <jrib> allquixotic: don't know
[15:18] <madsj> how do I get to run a latin-1 terminal ?
[15:18] <IceWind> snek: That is correct, the a2enmod creates the symlink
[15:18] <PeskyJ> I'm logged in remotely, how can I set it to run an X program on th elocal display from the command line?
[15:18] <madsj> setting LC_ALL=LOCALE=en_US.latin1 doesn't help ...
[15:18] <Eldemon> maD3-liNUx: I have a problem in time to install a new application in wine-doors
[15:18] <jrib> allquixotic: seems like you just click on nominate for release after filing the bug and select a release
[15:18] <snek> IceWind: aha ok, i just have a tendency to make the symlink wrong the first time systematically, so i taught myself to use a2enmod instead hahaha
[15:19] <cast> Armada: xor isn't a method of encryption. what else do you know?
[15:19] <lor_> I think someone deleted c:\wubi by mistake on this machine :( so now I cannot boot into ubunu through wubi.. any suggestion?
[15:19] <n8tuser> PeskyJ-> ssh -C -X -l username remoteip
[15:19] <Eldemon> eg microsoft visual c++ runtime library
[15:19] <Armada> cast: It's a Stream encryption algorithm
[15:19] <n8tuser> lor_-> you meant you made the mistake of erasing them?
[15:19] <maD3-liNUx> Eldemon: do  u have installed on offline mode or online mode??
[15:19] <Armada> cast: XOR is a stream encryption algorithm
[15:20] <lor_> n8tuser, Unfortunatelly ye.
[15:20] <cast> Armada: no, it's not
[15:20] <dimonjik> Much more people than in kubuntu chanel
[15:20] <Eldemon> maD3-liNUx: online mode
[15:20] <lor_> n8tuser, I know that was really stupid... but I still have the c:\buntu dir and the big root.dsk file
[15:20] <n8tuser> lor_-> do the install once more, double click on the wubi.exe
[15:20] <ksbalaji> ohmygod, top says that xorg, xgl, init, pulseaudio  eat up time almost in that order. Can I kill any of these?
[15:20] <Joerie> Rainarrow: he doesn't take that command...
[15:20] <PeskyJ> n8tuser: so since I'm already logged in, will localhost work?
[15:20] <Chousuke> cast: it can be used with one-time pads. maybe that's what he means :/
[15:20] <Armada> cast: "CryptIt is designed to use conventional XOR encryption on keys that are the same size as the file to be encrypted."
[15:21] <n8tuser> PeskyJ-> log off, and redo what i suggested
[15:21] <lor_> n8tuser, Won't that erase my virtual disk?
[15:21] <Rainarrow> Joerie, sorry, are you running GNOME or KDE?
[15:21] <Joerie> gnome
[15:21] <n8tuser> lor_-> it will, you can not easily recover those, and they are not designed to be recovered, wubi is kind of demo thing
[15:21] <olskolirc> anyone have express.paltalk.com voice working?
[15:21] <Chousuke> Armada: that shows that CryptIt makers don't know what they're doing :P
[15:22] <olskolirc> I hear my chat sounds but I can't hear who is on the microphone
[15:22] <PeskyJ> n8tuser: I'm connected by XMRPC, not ssh (from a windows machine)
[15:22] <n8tuser> lor_-> well maybe your windows have tools to recover.
[15:22] <cast> Armada: right, no need for a cryptolib to do a simple ^, do you have the key?
[15:22] <lor_> n8tuser, if I just back up the root.dsk file?
[15:22] <Armada> cast: sort of
[15:22] <smnab> ksbalaji: yes, you can kill all of these, but you will lose display, 3d effects, crash your system, and lose audio, in that order.
[15:22] <n8tuser> PeskyJ-> i dont know then, you do i what i sugges then i can assist you
[15:22] <ohmygod> ksbalaji, yes,but I ctrl+alt+backspace is recommanded
[15:22] <dimonjik> Anybody from Ukraine here?
[15:22] <cast> Armada: sort of meaning?
[15:22] <lor_> n8tuser, are all c:\wubi alike? I've read about people cloning them on various machines
[15:22] <jrib> Armada: is this homework or something?
[15:23] <maD3-liNUx> i have the same problem to Eldemon, when i try to install Internet Explorer, installation it's working but when i try to execute it's not working
[15:23] <PeskyJ> n8tuser: I could log into a different linux box then ssh from there... kemmie try that
[15:23] <n8tuser> lor_-> i dont know
[15:23] <Armada> cast, jrin: no, just a puzzle
[15:23] <Shoopuf> does anyone know where PHP extensions are kept in Ubuntu command line?
[15:23] <lor_> sorry BBL
[15:23] <IceWind> snek AlexMax: but you are correct, the proper way to do it should be create the .conf and .load in mods-available and them activate them using a2enmod
[15:23] <cast> Armada: ahh, in that case you can solve it using your own skills ;)
[15:24] <Armada> cast: I could run CryptIt using wine
[15:24] <dimonjik> Can somebody advice some good DC++ client program?(sor for bad english)
[15:24] <PeskyJ> n8tuser: ok, that doesn't work.. it still says cannot open display
[15:25] <simplexio> PeskyJ: linuxdcpp ?
[15:25] <snek> dimonjik: linuxdcpp, it's in the repositories.. aptitude install linuxdcpp
[15:25] <Armada> cast: I just need a decrypter for the algorithm CryptIt uses so I can start solving it :p
[15:25] <dimonjik> Thanks guys :)
[15:25] <Eldemon> maD3-liNUx: the following message appears when trying to install Warning: MD5 sum not found
[15:25] <ksbalaji> ohmygod, Even if I restart, I have the problem -slow system. any solution?
[15:26] <n8tuser> PeskyJ-> you ssh'ed in with -C -X options?
[15:26] <bobthemil> Can someone help me modify my xorg.conf file so that KDE will display in 1024x768? I tried following this guide, but I can't get it to work
[15:26] <TheMoron> balaji...upgrade your RAM
[15:26] <PeskyJ> n8tuser: yes.... does that mean the local display has been closed/disabled/killed?
[15:26] <snek> Ubuntu needs 512MB at least to run comfortably
[15:26] <TheMoron> Yes
[15:27] <ohmygod> ksbalaji, It's too hard to me
[15:27] <n8tuser> PeskyJ-> type  echo $DISPLAY
[15:27] <amortvigil> hey when i create an /boot does it need to be the first partition?? and can it be a logical partition?
[15:27] <PeskyJ> n8tuser: nothing
[15:27] <cast> amortvigil: it can be any partition grub can access
[15:27] <n8tuser> PeskyJ->  try   xhost +remoteip
[15:28] <n8tuser> PeskyJ->  then retry to ssh with -C -X option or replace X with Y
[15:28] <Armada> cast: but if XOR isn't a encryption algorithm why is it listed as such in the python-crypto package?
[15:28] <Armada> cast: "Stream encryption algorithms: ARC4, simple XOR."
[15:28] <ksbalaji> TheMoron, I have 1GB RAM, quite working. Is it not enough?
[15:29] <snek> 1GB is plenty
[15:29] <Eldemon> maD3-liNUx:  i have to leave now. Thx very munch
[15:29] <TheMoron> Ya
[15:29] <cast> Armada: ARC4, iirc is just a reversed engineered version of RC4, is a stream cipher
[15:29] <amortvigil> cast: then why wont it work :| i installed it on /boot wich is /dev/sda5. after installation windows was still the boot partition.. after fixing that and reconfigureing grub again it still didnt want to work...
[15:29] <maD3-liNUx> Eldemon:ok ...see u sorry i can't help ..:)
[15:29] <cast> amortvigil: the means of encrypting with a stream cipher is to generate a keystream that you XOR with the plaintext
[15:29] <PeskyJ> n8tuser: even xhost +otherip says xhost: unable to open display "0.0"
[15:30] <cast> amortvigil: so...grub loaded?
[15:30] <n8tuser> PeskyJ-> try  export DISPLAY=localhost:0; xhost +remoteip
[15:30] <snek> amortvigil: what error message do you get? does it at least say GRUB at the top of the screen?
[15:30] <amortvigil> cast: no it said to add a disk
[15:30] <kman82> ok, I've run the scanModem, I see CONEXANT and intel 82801G - which is that HDA device I saw earlier
[15:30] <TheMoron> Balaji You so some PHP stuff?
[15:30] <Armada> cast: Anyway, could you just tell me what program I need to use?
[15:31] <amortvigil> cast: grub didnt load
[15:31] <snek> amortvigil: what did load? windows?
[15:31] <cast> amortvigil: ahh hmm, well if grub didn't load then thats not a /boot location issue, but rather a grub-not-installed-in-right-place issue
[15:31] <amortvigil> snek: i just said i got the error to add a disk
[15:31] <maD3-liNUx> amortvigil : can u write the error message??
[15:31] <ksbalaji> TheMoron, How t find whether I have PHP stuff?
[15:31] <e-head> Hey, I'm having issues with locales.
[15:31] <simplexio> pwnt: what our trying to do ?
[15:31] <simplexio> pwnt: uups sorry
[15:32] <e-head> I have locales installed.  Doing a "sudo apt-get install locales" doesn't do anything.
[15:32] <simplexio> PeskyJ: what you are trying to do ?
[15:32] <snek> amortvigil: so it's a bios error your seeing? something like: unable to find operating system, replace disk and press a key to try again?
[15:32] <amortvigil> cast: i have selected in the advanced ubuntu installation to install grub on /dev/sda5 is that wrong?
[15:32] <lor_> back
[15:32] <e-head> Sorry, doing a " sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" doesn't help, I meant to say
[15:32] <TheMoron> balaji: check your apache config
[15:32] <PeskyJ> simplexio: I'm trying to figure out why the local display is dead and not responding
[15:32] <incepator> hi
[15:32] <bobthemil> Can anyone help me get the r128 drivers to properly work? They don't quite seem to be working properly
[15:32] <amortvigil> snek: ubuntu is installed on this pc before its bios is never updated
[15:33] <saml> how can I encrypt a file with a password?
[15:33] <snek> amortvigil: that's not what i'm asking..
[15:33] <PeskyJ> simplexio: it ran screensaver then never woke up, but everything is still running
[15:33] <lor_> anyone using wubi?
[15:33] <amortvigil> snek: will yea becus if notyhing has changed in grub it cant be an error isnt it?
[15:33] <n8tuser> saml-> did you google for a howto? several ways,
[15:33] <amortvigil> grub // bios
[15:33] <maD3-liNUx> lor: no ..
[15:33] <simplexio> PeskyJ: tried kill screensaver ?
[15:34] <bobthemil> I ran sudo aptitiude install xserver-xorg-video-r128
[15:34] <Jack_Sparrow> lor_ if the wubi fake partion/file has been deleted than be thankful it didnt trash your ntfs windows install
[15:34] <snek> amortvigil: i don't mean there is an error in the bios.... i mean, the bios is showing the error.. if nothing has booted yet the only thing running is bios, and that searches for a bootable drive, if it doesn't find one it shows you an error message
[15:34] <lor_> As I was explaining before I deleted c:\wubi my mistake
[15:34] <bobthemil> but when I put "Driver   "r128"" into xorg.conf, KDE won't load
[15:34] <DogWater> Howdy, is there some way to install using a local mirror but then have everything else done through internet mirrors?
[15:34] <snek> amortvigil: you have multiple harddrives in this computer?
[15:34] <PeskyJ> simplexio: I killed spirographx but it didn't die, it went into D state, and I killed gnome-screensaver - still the display on the local machine won't wake
[15:34] <DogWater> (i mean automatically)
[15:34] <bobthemil> and r128 is most definitely the correct drivers for my video card
[15:34] <lor_> Jack_Sparrow, Trouble is I can't remember deleting it
[15:34] <C0p3rn1c> if I want to download something from a website with a password , how can I pass the login to downloader for x ?
[15:34] <amortvigil> yes its bios tellign me there is no bootable drive ytes
[15:35] <maD3-liNUx> lor: i don't understan what do u mean??
[15:35] <Jack_Sparrow> lor_ Please dont consider wubi anything more than a test drive.. before installing it to a full partition
[15:35] <amortvigil> snek, cast: is sudo /usr/sbin/grub-install /dev/sda5 the right way?>
[15:35] <Joerie> Rainarrow, im using gnome (should you not have read it :))
[15:35] <n8tuser> saml-> tar cvzf - passwd_info.txt | openssl des3 -salt -k secretkey | dd of=encrypted_passwd_info
[15:35] <amortvigil> snek: because thats how i did it
[15:35] <PeskyJ> simplexio: I'm beginning to thing that the DISPLAY :0.0 (or whatever it's called) is dead or doesn't exist any more
[15:35] <cast> hmmm, you want grub installed to the MBR
[15:35] <lor_> Jack_Sparrow, I see. not so obvious from the presentation
[15:35] <slack_baphomet> will a mac be able to use something like vine vnc to remote desktop into my linux box ?
[15:35] <UnknownUser56> sudo apt-get grub --install-you don't install grub to hda* ,just hda
[15:35] <amortvigil> cast: no i dont want that :P
[15:35] <saml> n8tuser: thanks
[15:35] <lor_> Is there a way to detect the size assigned to the virtual drive?
[15:36] <Armada> cast: Not helping huh? :P
[15:36] <maD3-liNUx> amortvigil: try this "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/path/to/directory hd0"
[15:36] <ksbalaji> India!
[15:36] <amortvigil> cast: i want it to /boot wich is an /dev/sda5 partition of 300 mb
[15:36] <amortvigil> wich is set to bootabkle
[15:36] <UnknownUser56> maD3-liNUx:beat me to it
[15:36] <snek> amortvigil: sometimes ubuntu confuses between what is the actual boot drive.. i have had that problem many times in machines which have both sata & pata drives.. i usually solve it by disconnecting all other drives except the boot drive during an install and only reconnecting all the other ones after it's done installing..
[15:36] <UnknownUser56> ;p
[15:37] <maD3-liNUx> UnknowUser56: what do u mean??
[15:37] <MrPotatoes> Hey guys.  Quick question
[15:37] <MrPotatoes> i'm suing rsync and trying to backup my hidden files
[15:37] <amortvigil> snek: well its only 1 drive
[15:37] <MrPotatoes> I want to make the rsync on the files-from not be relative.  I've tried multiple versions of --no-R but it still screws up.  Where and I supposed to put it?
[15:37] <MrPotatoes> my command is: rsync -arv --no-R --files-from=/Users/villanuevaa/.rsync/sync.hidden-backup --delete ~ ~/Desktop/tmp/.
[15:37] <snek> amortvigil: ok.. then.. i.. am.. confused.. haha
[15:38] <bobthemim> snek: You were helping me before with my video issue, do you think you could help me some more?
[15:38] <bobthemim> I looked at those websites you linked earlier, but they aren't helping at all :(
[15:38] <MrPotatoes> in the hidden file everything looks like /Users/villanuevaa/$FILE
[15:38] <slack_baphomet> anyone able to help me with my question ?
[15:38] <simplexio> PeskyJ: that possivle, but if your monitor dosent wake up try:  xset dpms force on
[15:38] <UnknownUser56> maD3-liNUx:the grub install command :p
[15:38] <maD3-liNUx> slack: may i??
[15:38] <ksbalaji> TheMoron, apache config does not work in terminal. Is it OK?
[15:38] <maD3-liNUx> UnknowUser56: so??
[15:38] <snek> bobthemim: sorry bob but it's mostly trial & error for me as well, the part you are on hehe :)
[15:39] <bobthemim> You got any idea as to why X won't run when I tell it to load the r128 drivers?
[15:39] <bobthemim> I'm positive they're the correct drivers.
[15:39] <snek> bobthemim: what kind of error does it give?
[15:40] <PeskyJ> simplexio: that says unable to open display localhost:0
[15:40] <bobthemim> Hold on, and I'll tell ya :)
[15:40] <ksbalaji> TheMoron, result: bash: apache: command not found
[15:41] <MrPotatoes> No one?
[15:42] <MrPotatoes> I'm just trying to set the --no-relative flag in the command but i can't seem to get it right
[15:42] <maD3-liNUx> MrPotatoes: sorry i don't get it:D
[15:42] <bobthemil> snek: okay, the error is that when I do /etc/init.d/kdm start, it causes a black screen and then I can't do anything, not even go back to ctrl-alt-F1

My resolution can go up to 1280 x 1024 in 8.04 but in 8.10 I can only go up to 800x 600. PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME TO GO TO SCREEN SETTINGS IT DOESN"T WORK. THanks!
[15:45] <snek> w0ls0n: learn to edit xorg.conf :P
[15:45] <bobthemil> w0ls0n: download proper video drivers
[15:45] <w0ls0n> snek no matter what I do to the xorg.conf it never changes
[15:45] <PeskyJ> n8tuser: I had programs running on the local machine, then it went to sleep as I left it for a while, now I want to continue using them, save progress, etc. before rebooting, so all I want to do is wake up the local display so I can save stuff in those programs :/
[15:45] <bjm> bonsoir à tous
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> w0ls0n It is more that your monitors settings are not detected properly.. than anyone taking anything out.
[15:46] <w0ls0n> Jack_Sparrow, hello. How do I chaneg my monitor settings
[15:46] <n8tuser> PeskyJ-> local machine? like your localhost?
[15:46] <ushills> Hi, can anyone help my ubuntu has just stopped autorecognising attached usb drives?
[15:46] <Jack_Sparrow> w0ls0n I am busy, just wanted to point out the error in your logic
[15:46] <w0ls0n> *sigh*
[15:47] <bobthemil> snek: okay, i added r128 as the video driver to load, now every time it tries to start X (every time i boot up), it goes to a black screen and I can't do anything >.>
[15:47] <bobthemil> trying my best to get ya that log file :S
[15:47] <PeskyJ> n8tuser: it's a desktop machine, running 8.10, I'm now connected to it remotely from a windows machine.. I'm sitting right next to it but connected remotely because the local keyboard and mouse and monitro that's plugged into it won't wake up
[15:47] <snek> bob: ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't put you back to commandline?
[15:47] <bobthemil> no
[15:47] <kman82> w0ls0n, actually, ironically, I had this issue with 8.04, booting in live was ok, and not after install, did you see that?
[15:48] <simplexio> PeskyJ: alt+ctrl+F1 dosent get you to console ?
[15:48] <PeskyJ> simplexio: nope
[15:48] <sinan> anyone can recommend a FOSS software to find integrals?
[15:48] <n8tuser> PeskyJ-> you do realize once you log off, the process you were working on gets killed to lest you use screen (console apps)

[15:49] <PeskyJ> n8tuser: I never logged off... the screensaver kicked in and it won't wake up.. the user is still logged on, all the programs are still running
[15:49] <simplexio> PeskyJ: and did you logoff or did you just let screensaver lock screen ?
[15:49] <w0ls0n> Jack_Sparrow, when you have a moment, can you give me a hand with that?
[15:49] <snek> bob: maybe figure out how to stop X from starting on boot.. that way you can have a look at the logs? otherwise you're gonna have to boot a livecd/liveusb and mount the drive to read the logs..
[15:49] <PeskyJ> simplexio: yeah screensaver locked then wouldn't wake up
[15:49] <Jack_Sparrow> w0ls0n I am busy...
[15:49] <shiMMer> how to set wallpaper on fluxbox.i got an error..
[15:49] <simplexio> PeskyJ: you had some nice 3d stuff screensaver on it ?
[15:49] <snek> bob: or of course boot with the old driver again.........
[15:50] <PeskyJ> n8tuser: simplexio it went to power save mode and switched off the monitor, the screensaver is random, it was running spirographx according to ps
[15:50] <w0ls0n> how do I tell if my system has the correct video driver?
[15:50] <bobthemil> snek: yeah that's what i just did
[15:50] <xnv> w0ls0n: You said going to System->Preferences->Screen Resolution didn't help. Why not? What happens when you go there?

[15:50] <bobthemil> booting into X with the vesa drivers as we speak :)

[15:50] <snek> slack_baphomet: i use remote desktop on a regular basis
[15:51] <maD3-liNUx> slack: i know about remote desktop ..may be i can help u??
[15:51] <bobthemil> For the sake of logging, I booted into the recovery console, chose to log to root shell : vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf, exit, continue normal boot

Sometimes the screen will return to normal after a wait, sometimes it just keeps going and going with no results.  It used to be a rare thing but ove
[15:51] <PeskyJ> simplexio: I don't really know what to look for... last thing in there is me unpolugging the USB keyboard and back in again to see if that helped
[15:52] <simplexio> deb_unlimited: does dmesg tell you anything useful?
[15:52] <slack_baphomet> xnv, have been for a while lol , again - If i use any vnc program from a mac computer ( osx ) will i have no problems connecting to my linux box
[15:52] <simplexio> PeskyJ: only time i had issues with X freezing was when i tried compiz
[15:52] <deb_unlimited> what's dmesg?
[15:52] <snek> bob: i am leaving in 10 minutes, but yeah i suggest having a look in the Xorg logs and dmesg as well.. i bet you'll find something in the Xorg log which could help you though
[15:52] <Anon4123> dmesg shows boot messages
[15:52] <Anon4123> in a terminal
[15:53] <simplexio> deb_unlimited: open console and type dmesg
[15:53] <allquixotic> jrib: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libshout/+bug/304843 :)
[15:53] <PeskyJ> simplexio: compiz works fine on that machine - dmsg shows what looks like some register dumps talking about xorg process.. is that usual?
[15:53] <margeb> Have lost the GUI and not sure how, or how to get it back.
[15:53] <margeb> (Mother-in-law's computer)
[15:53] <snek> dmesg spits out way too much for me though, i prefer check the log instead with: sudo less /var/log/dmesg
[15:54] <Anon4123> CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE = reboots the GUI
[15:54] <simplexio> PeskyJ: can you pastebin that dmesg ?
[15:54] <margeb> need to use dpkg -??? reconfigure ???   maybe
[15:54] <margeb> or xorg-reconfigure ????  or...?
[15:54] <xnv> slack_baphomet: That's not a question anyone can answer. You are asking about "any" VNC program and no one knows about all of them. And you ask about having "no problems" and there are a lot of problems that can come up when connecting any two computers with any software.
[15:54] <bobthemil> margeb: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[15:54] <Anon4123> true that
[15:54] <deb_unlimited> Okay, it spit out a ton of info
[15:54] <margeb> console mode only here...  Need  thx bobthemil
[15:54] <bobthemil> it helps if you kill X first

[15:56] <ushills> ﻿Hi, can anyone help my ubuntu has just stopped autorecognising attached usb drives? it places them under places but does not put them on desktop or autoopen anymore.
[15:57] <bobthemil> alsadi: Strangest thing I've ever heard. My advice would be to flash BIOS :S
[15:57] <alsadi> ushills: could it be the battery
[15:57] <simplexio> deb_unlimited: do you use that fat partition to something ?
[15:57] <snek> ushills: if it puts them under places they are recognised, no?
[15:57] <xnv> alsadi: Sounds like someone added a password while you were asleep or you have a hardware problem.
[15:57] <ushills> alsadi, using a pc not laptop
[15:57] <bobthemil> alsadi: A battery going old or dying would just flash the BIOS. So unless your BIOS has a password on by default (which is strange), that shouldn't be it
[15:57] <ushills> snek, it used to auto open until updates today
[15:57] <bobthemil> alastor666: Like xnv said, my initial suspicion would be that someone is playing a trick on you
[15:58] <Leon> alsadi: You have tried an empty passwd?
[15:58] <simplexio> alsadi: toshiba laptop ?

[15:58] <TuxSympathiser> wanker
[15:58] <slack_baphomet> im not asking for program specifics
[15:58] <snek> ushills: but it's just not making the icons on the desktop, but it is showing them in places (and they are usable)?
[15:58] <xnv> bobthemil, alsadi: And you don't want to flash the BIOS. You just want to reset it.
[15:58] <PeskyJ> simplexio: http://pastebin.com/d4cad02ce
[15:58] <alsadi> an empty password allow me to see the options but not to change them
[15:59] <xnv> slack_baphomet: And?
[15:59] <slack_baphomet> ie; computer 1 can see computer 2 regardless of client
[15:59] <Leon> bobthemil: sry I believe that you cant flanh the bios if its passwd protected
[15:59] <PeskyJ> simplexio: the screensaver kicked in at about 13:18 if that helps
[15:59] <ushills> snek: that is correct not a problem but I use a luks encryped drive and this is not therefore mounting correctly but it does this with all usb now
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> alsadi Pull the bios/cmos battery for 15 minutes and then put it back to clear the pass or read the manual and find the clear coms  bios jumper
[16:00] <deb_unlimited> I don't mess with the system, hd or software...I don't know enough about ubuntu...switched to linux 9 months ago.  Death to Windows!!!!!!!!
[16:00] <alsadi> jack_sparrow: OK I guess I should do that
[16:00] <Anon4123> death to windows and apple!!
[16:00] <Jack_Sparrow> alsadi a dying battery will not flash the bios
[16:00] <snek> gotta go, see you tomorrow all :P
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Anon4123 please avoid saying things like that
[16:01] <Anon4123> ok
[16:01] <Jimmymaniac> Sorry if this has been asked a lot before. How do you select the fastest apt mirror on ubuntu *server*? commandline? i know how to do it in synaptic, but in ubuntu server i do not want X
[16:01] <cedx> Grab a G1!
[16:01] <simplexio> PeskyJ: i dont know howto convert those timestaps to real time, but it seems that your Xorg has crashed because nvidia driver
[16:01] <jxander> maxb, Jack_Sparrow [SOLVED] the delete folder problem... The folder contained a file with a TM char in it... is there a way to add support for special characters, so that it will show those files?
[16:01] <bobthemil> snek: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79864
[16:01] <TuxSympathiser> are there any risks using a year old release of ubuntu over the latest?
[16:01] <poid> anyone here use proxies, tor or other to surf anon?
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> jxander not that I am aware of.
[16:01] <bobthemil> i think that might be the log from the current boot, not from the errored one, though
[16:02] <bobthemil> grep EE returns nothing useful, nor does grep WW
[16:02] <xnv> slack_baphomet: VNC is meant to be cross-platform, but there are lots of reasons it might not work between two given computers, e.g. something simple like a firewall.
[16:02] <PeskyJ> simplexio: ok... I'm still connected to the machine running xchat over XMRPC connection
[16:02] <TuxSympathiser> providing the latest causes random system freezes where as 7.10 was stabler
[16:02] <PeskyJ> simplexio: but VNC wouldn't connect
[16:02] <PeskyJ> simplexio: is it possible to restart xorg and make it reconnect to the programs that are still running?
[16:02] <Jimmymaniac> TuxSympathiser: as long as you keep the distro updated *and* it has support, you should be fine
[16:02] <slack_baphomet> xnv, thats all i needed to hear thanks
[16:02] <Jack_Sparrow> TuxSympathiser as long as you continue security updates there is no problem.  I have several boxes on older releases of ubuntu
[16:03] <deagle> hello alll
[16:03] <deagle> does anyone know how to export a path that has a space in it?
[16:03] <simplexio> PeskyJ: i dont think thats possible. attleast i dont know how
[16:03] <xnv> TuxSympathiser: If you're going to use and old one, use a LTS release.
[16:03] <rio> deagle: wheres the problem?
[16:03] <PeskyJ> simplexio: according to ps xorg is still running
[16:03] <deagle> export programs=
[16:03] <deagle> brrrr hold on
[16:03] <q0s> hey guys, i need to compile my own uvcvideo module because i need to apply a patch for my cam. that not a problem, but i read since Linux 2.6.26 the kernel supports uvcvideo natively. so, how can i make sure that my module is used?
[16:03] <kb3ien> looking for useful pointers to setup 8.10 on a graphite g4 with an ATI rage128 card. I cannot seem to get past E no screens found.
[16:04] <rio> deagle: export FOO="bar qux" is working well
[16:04] <deagle> rio: export programs='/home/deagle/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files'  <- that doesn't work
[16:04] <bobthemil> Try " instead of '
[16:04] <deagle> did that
[16:04] <deagle> didn't work either
[16:04] <bobthemil> kb3ien: You know, I have a very very similar problem
[16:05] <rio> deagle: no need for \
[16:05] <bobthemil> well, only similar in the fact that I can't get 8.10 to cope with an R128 card. I got it to install just fine
[16:05] <rio> export foo='bar qux' works without escaping
[16:05] <deagle> rio: doesn't work without the \ either
[16:05] <PeskyJ> simplexio: from ps auxf it looks like xorg runs once and x-session-manager runs once for each connected x session, so all the programs run under the session manager...
[16:05] <rio> deagle: it does
[16:05] <rio> christoph@thinkpad:~$ export bar='qux\ baz'
[16:05] <rio> christoph@thinkpad:~$ echo $bar
[16:05] <rio> qux\ baz
[16:05] <rio> so theres an additional \ if you use it
[16:06] <deagle> rio: i wanna do this:   deagle$ cd programs
[16:06] <bobthemil> kb3ien: try skipping the "no screens found" issue and then later on manually configuring xorg.conf
[16:06] <deagle> and get: /home/deagle/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/$
[16:06] <rio> deagle: you need "cd $programs"
[16:06] <mewilsonii> Hey, I was wondering if somebody could help me with getting my video card (ATI Radeon 9200) to work in Hardy. I've been trying for three days and each time I've followed the advice I found online, I had to reinstall Hardy.
[16:06] <deagle> rio: correct
[16:07] <tarxeuz> im looking for IRC channels that talks about celfons like nokia, se,etc....and their comparison features...
[16:07] <kb3ien> i'd think so, but anyone have a suitable xorg.conf for me to paraphrase ?
[16:07] <bobthemil> kb3ien: If you give me a couple of hours, you can copy mine line for line (probably)
[16:07] <deagle> rio: http://pastebin.com/d2c43fcfc
[16:08] <deagle> rio: see what i mean?
[16:08] <kb3ien> im not sure about 'skipping' no screens found. as that error coinsides with the blanking of my monitor....
[16:09] <rio> deagle: yeah, im trying right now, cd is messing it up
[16:09] <paranoid_ndroid> what would be the best solution to run a linux distro inside ubuntu? i.e. to boot another distro in a windows inside ubuntu?
[16:10] <deagle> paranoid: vmware
[16:10] <erUSUL> !virtualizers | paranoid_ndroid
[16:10] <tarxeuz> paranoid_ndroid: virtualbox
[16:10] <simplexio> PeskyJ: and in future you should check if that nvidia dies under stress test
[16:10] <w0ls0n> how do I update drivers for thinng in dmesg? like so:
[16:10] <w0ls0n> [    8.661218] Driver 'st' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
[16:10] <PeskyJ> simplexio: ok, how do I run the stress test?
[16:10] <erUSUL> w0ls0n: you can safely ignore that error
[16:11] <paranoid_ndroid> ok, ty
[16:11] <deagle> np
[16:11] <badawi> !ubottu
[16:11] <PeskyJ> simplexio: is there no way at all to grab control of the programs running under the x-session-manager so I can save work and close them?
[16:11] <simplexio> PeskyJ: somehting that stress graphic card, 5x glxgears ? or something
[16:11] <drewby> I think some packages for 8.04 are down.
[16:11] <simplexio> PeskyJ: not that i know
[16:12]  * PeskyJ cries and cries :(
[16:12] <zamba> someone explain this to me: libodbcinst.so.1 => not found.. yet: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2008-10-30 17:09 /usr/lib/libodbcinst.so.1 -> libodbcinst.so.1.0.0 ?
[16:12] <drewby> Size mismatch.
[16:12] <rio> deagle: use export foo='/foo/bar qux' and cd "$foo"
[16:12] <Dreamer3> where should i put my ssl certs for apache2?
[16:12] <deagle> literally? or as in applied to what i need it for? o_O
[16:12] <Dreamer3> i'm not sure how it's pacakged with ubuntu
[16:13] <w0ls0n> erUSUL, I have other messages of the same style in dmesg as well
[16:13] <Dreamer3> i'm looking in /etc/apache2 but nothing is jumping out
[16:13] <rio> deagle: applied to what you need it for of course
[16:13] <rio> deagle: use no \ in your export and quotes in your cd call
[16:13] <PeskyJ> simplexio: hrm.. would hibernating restart xorg?
[16:13] <zamba> Dreamer3: /etc/ssl/private is one place
[16:13] <PeskyJ> simplexio: I'm clutching at straws!
[16:13] <Dreamer3> sl certs in /etc/ssl/certs and private keys in /etc/ssl/private
[16:13] <rio> deagle: but an alias might be better than cd "$programs" anyway
[16:13] <Dreamer3> that makes sense
[16:13] <pqangel> hi, i have a little question i was hoping someone could help me with
[16:13] <paranoid_ndroid> !VMWare

[16:15] <zamba> erUSUL: what am i looking for?

[16:15] <pqangel> its a GUI for proftpd

[16:15] <cast> ahh.

[16:15] <erUSUL> zamba: well maybe the link cache needed updating... does the error goes away after the command ?

[16:16] <pqangel> thing is i tried to make ./autoinstall with the source code but i couldnt

[16:35] <Dabbu> can i install network manager like 8.04 in 8.10
[16:35] <Jack_Sparrow> kman82 did you go to the site I mentioned earlier
[16:35] <kman82> Jack_Sparrow, yes, I installed the driver, all detected fine
[16:35] <justizin> I have some VMs freshly installed with Intrepid, on a Xen host, and after install when I switch from HVM to Paravirtualized mode, I stop getting a login prompt on boot, on the system console, though ssh and everything else works..  any idea what might be going on?

[16:36] <kman82> Jack_Sparrow, but the interface doesn't show it, I can get wvdial to open it, and wait - but yeah, the gui changes are a load of crap as far as I can tell, the old was intuitive
[16:36] <Dabbu> anyone any help with network manager in 8.10
[16:36] <Dabbu> ?
[16:36] <[c0re]> deagle, i use compiz to do that

[16:40] <Thelo> Following ubottu advice...
[16:40] <Thelo> I've performed a search about toolbars and their behavior in OpenOffice 2.4.1, trying to make them stay in position and visible every time I open the Writer, but I could not find the way to achieve it. Then found this reference in the "online help" and entered to ask about it.
[16:40] <kman82> none of the class supports work in efax... oh well
[16:40] <kman82> fax is just analogue right? surely any modem can send faxes
[16:41] <[c0re]> deagle, dude. i love tadila or whatever it is :p
[16:41] <deagle> :D
[16:41] <gnomefreak> kman82: most should support fax since dialup modems did but i cant say for sure that is the modem manf. choice

[16:43] <deagle> JoeShiva: yeah, that: Ctrl+Alt+F1
[16:44] <deagle> JoeShiva: i don't get a sound
[16:44] <deagle> weird...
[16:44] <Jack_Sparrow> samson_ if you got it yourself and not through the package manager, there should be instructions where you got that program.

[17:25] <akahige1> Jack_Sparrow: np. your tutuorial was about grub splash and not gdm login, so I was kinda off topic

[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> ksbalaji I agree, I keep several systems on older versions

[17:26] <infinity_> If i have for example 4 desktops, can i have various icons each of them?
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> akahige1 yes, I didnt kow you were working on GDM background
[17:27] <ksbalaji> Jack_Sparrow, Is it Ok to remove earlier kernels from /boot/grub?
[17:27] <smnab> phantomcircuit: Not necessarily. that is the default kernel provided by ubuntu. may be vanilla, may be not.
[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[17:27] <Rainarrow> Mateo_, so I'm afraid I won't be able to offer much help :(
[17:27] <akahige1> Jack_Sparrow: does that mean you might have an answer to my question...? lol

[17:27] <Jack_Sparrow> ksbalaji but that does not remove them from your system
[17:28] <raylton> hallo i'm from brazilian
[17:28] <phantomcircuit> smnab, so if im getting a kernel call trace i should report it as a ubuntu bug?
[17:28] <Jack_Sparrow> akahige1 I still do not dual-dead my monitors so no..
[17:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !br > raylton
[17:28] <smnab> phantomcircuit: yes, if it is in the default ubuntu-provided kernel, you should report it to ubuntu.
[17:28] <akahige1> Jack_Sparrow: worth asking.  *g*
[17:28] <ksbalaji> Jack_Sparrow, do you mean that the earlier kernels do not go away at all?
[17:28] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[17:29] <sipior> dougl: sure, there should be a "sun-java6-jre" package you can install
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> ksbalaji not unless you specifically remove them
[17:29] <phantomcircuit> smnab, how do i do that? :P
[17:29] <Jack_Sparrow> afk

[17:29] <Flannel> ksbalaji: They don't go away on their own.  You need to remove those packages, then they'll go away.
[17:29] <sipior> dougl: that should sort out the java issues with your browser
[17:29] <dougl> sipior, thanks -> checking synaptic now
[17:29] <phantomcircuit> smnab, nvm i found the community documentation page on it
[17:29] <Xk2c> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
[17:29] <ksbalaji> Jack_Sparrow, OK thanks. I will remove them and see if removing improves speed.

[17:31] <Guest50854> none... It makes the synce sound when connecting but it doesnt do anything else
[17:32] <ksbalaji> Jack_Sparrow, I thought the speed is because of the kernel update and want to remove the latest kernel to see whether it improves speed.
[17:32] <Jack_Sparrow> ksbalaji simply boot the last kernel from grub menu
[17:32] <BlackDalek> Where are gnome panel applets installed?
[17:33] <ksbalaji> Jack_Sparrow, that is a good idea before removing the latest one. I shall try. bye.

[17:34] <smnab> hello. could someone tell me, there is a config file in /boot . I guess it is the config file for the default kernel. How do I use this file to compile a kernel from source?

[17:49] <Dwade09> adyadyadyadyady,  it is free the fish i want and i found it was in that folder.

[17:50] <RomanaMentalis> hello, I have a php script that allows users to upload files to my server.  However when they are uploaded I need them to have the permission 777 is this a linux issue or a php issue or an apache issue?

[17:52] <sipior> RomanaMentalis: you can always change the file permissions after upload, in php.
[17:52] <erUSUL> RomanaMentalis: depends on the umask of the user ho writtes the file (or unusally the folders permission)
[17:53] <RomanaMentalis> Ok so I need to change something about the permissions on the folder
[17:55] <winterelf> hi all :) i need help with something, i have a laptop that i plugged to a big screen, it's working in the highest ressolution and i have conpiz working on it, but when i use the cube to rotate i can see a wierd brake in the screen as if i have a small screen+ big screen in the same screen... something wierd, like it cut itself like a wierd mirror or shadow of the same thing or something
[17:55] <winterelf> i have intel x3100 graphic card , and don't realy know if this is the problam cause when i unplugged the big screen and use only the laptop then everything works fine
[17:58] <poopuser> hi can somebody explain me what does ">&2" in this script    printf “$SCRIPT:$LINENO: the command $sync is not available — \
[17:58] <poopuser> aborting\n “ >&2 ?
[17:58] <YerikY> I can't start gnome unless I choose the failsafe option. Can someone help?
[17:58] <erUSUL> poopuser: send output to stderr
[17:59] <poopuser> erUSUL: thank you
[17:59] <erUSUL> poopuser: no problem
[17:59] <ugoboom357> winterelf: this may have something to so with the difference in display ratio between your big screen and your laptop. I know that when I plug my laptop into a tv my laptop automatically adjusts certain parts of my desktop so that they can be seen on both screens. this can make compiz act funny sometimes
[17:59] <DarkKnight> hey while installing my new printer i dont seem to be seeing my printer version...but i do see other versions

[18:01] <inordkuo> hi all. quick question. can heavy disk i/o cause a system freeze or is it more likely a faulty hard drive?
[18:01] <YerikY> after installing nvidia graphics card, I can't login into gnome unless it's the failsaife session. I already uninstalled nvidia drivers and did a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to no avail
[18:01] <kitche> erUSUL: Page will load just won't display anyhting my take is that the domain got into some trouble or something :)
[18:02] <slayton> how long does bootchart keep going? Does it keep recording until the desktop is fully loaded

[18:03] <sipior> inordkuo: well, were you doing something that produced a great deal of disk i/o?
[18:03] <inordkuo> i've setup mythtv on a computer with 4 tuners
[18:03] <mikebot> Can someone help me install something from a .tar.gz?
[18:03] <erUSUL> kitche: dunno i visited it and indeed i only see a  grey blank page...
[18:03] <DouglasK> inordkuo, is this going to be a dedicated server?
[18:03] <inordkuo> i can run 4 recordings simultaneously but if i start a mencoder process, intrepid locks up
[18:04] <sipior> inordkuo: heh heh, yeah if you're encoding and writing on a single disk, you might have some i/o waiting going on :-)
[18:04] <inordkuo> but should it lock the system up requiring a hard reset?
[18:04] <erUSUL> kitche: tried with midori (uses webkit like safari) and the same blank grey page :/
[18:04] <mikebot> Or can someone point me to where I can learn about install something from a .tar.gz?
[18:04] <DouglasK> inordkuo, is this going to be a dedicated server?
[18:04] <mikebot> *installing
[18:04] <sipior> inordkuo: generally not, but how long did you leave the system running? are you sure it was locked?
[18:04] <YerikY> Can someone help me? I tried looking all over on the web for a solution. I can't log into gnome without using the failsafe option
[18:05] <inordkuo> douglasK: no it's a desktop machine that will also be used for web surfing, printing, word processing, etc
[18:05] <inordkuo> nothing heavy though
[18:05] <erUSUL> mikebot: a tar.gz is like a zip how to install them entirily depends on what it is inside
[18:05] <mikebot> erUSUL: I think it's a bunch of source code.
[18:05] <Dabbu> how to browse windows shARE OVER lan WITHOUT MOUNTING THEM IN ubuntu?
[18:06] <DouglasK> inordkuo, Ok then... wanted to see if KnoppMyth might be a better option, but that's far more dedicated than what you want.

[18:07] <inordkuo> douglasK: i am ok with running ubuntu and mythtv. i'm just trying to figure out if i have a hardware issue or if i'm just stressing the system to the point of freezing
[18:08] <badboys> hy all
[18:08] <DouglasK> inordkuo, in my past experience, running mythtv server under ubuntu didn't work that well, espcecially with one or more USB tv tuners present.
[18:09] <inordkuo> i'm running one hdhomerun and one pvr500
[18:09] <erUSUL> Dabbu: afaik smbclient acts more like an ftp client
[18:09] <erUSUL> mikebot: i do not see it in repos but it is a java app ...
[18:09] <mikebot> erUSUL: What does that mean?
[18:09] <badboys> Excuse me all but, i have an problem with ethernet. I have already config my ip but when i want ping a other computer then fail ...
[18:10] <shams> erUSUL: yes, i can see title of that page when i surf it with firefox but i can't see content. i can visit from that link via internet explorer.
[18:10] <Dabbu> erUSUL: in KDE we browse without mounting..is that possible in gnome?
[18:10] <kitche> shams: then it's only IE page
[18:10] <shams> kitche: but i can see source of that page via firefox.
[18:10] <inordkuo> my question however is whether 4 video streams and an encoding process should lock up ubuntu to require a hard reset
[18:10] <erUSUL> Dabbu: have you tried Places>Network>Windows Network ?
[18:11] <sipior> shams: do you have any ad-blocking plugins running on firefox?
[18:11] <kitche> shams: well I can't

[18:13] <ugoboom357> Dabbu: you could use smb://ipaddress/somefolder. this will also mount the share automatically though

[18:15] <cyban> reinstall gnome

[18:16] <cyban> Anyone have a WiFi Link 5100 AGN working?
[18:16] <YerikY> sipior: I installed the latest nvidia drivers when this happened. I already tried uninstalling them, compiz, and did a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[18:16] <cyban> YerikY, you need to delete xorg.conf, or use the CD and do a repair option - the driver didnt install right, is the wrong driver, or something similar
[18:17] <Agion> ﻿ has anyone got mpd + mpdscribble? I have a problem with that...
[18:17] <cyban> if you can get into another terminal delete xorg.conf and reboot, or theres some xorg config as well I think
[18:17] <YerikY> cyban: Shouldn't doing a dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg have done that for me?
[18:17] <david_> afternoon all
[18:17] <DasEI> YerikY: using hardy or ibex ?
[18:17] <mikebot> erUSUL: Wait, Java should already be installed, right?
[18:17] <MasterAkia> Questions... lol ummm how do i get the terminal up from my commands. like im trying to install drivers for my nvidea card.
[18:17] <cyban> that should work also
[18:17] <Pretto> i am getting "dbus erro" when i run firerox,   any clue?
[18:17] <YerikY> I'm on 8.10
[18:17] <david_> terminal up from commands? what do you mean
[18:18] <cyban> but if the xorg.conf files really messed up might need to yank it then reconfig xorg
[18:18] <david_> MasterAkia, explain that one sorry
[18:18] <DasEI> YerikY: did the desktop work before ?
[18:18] <inordkuo> sipior: sorry i didn't see your response to my question. i've left the system on for a few hours and everything stays frozen. can't ping from another machine. mouse doesn't move. keyboard is unresponsive etc. it's most definitely locked up.

[18:18] <YerikY> DasEI: The desktop worked after upgrading to 8.10 but went to hell after installing the latest nvidia driver
[18:18] <MasterAkia> me*
[18:18] <sipior> inordkuo: hmm. anything deposited in the system logs before the thing dies?
[18:18] <mikebot> erUSUL: Does that mean it isn't already installed?
[18:18] <DasEI> YerikY: I see, which card ?
[18:19] <erUSUL> badboys: so /etc/network/interfaces ? you set netmask and everything ?
[18:19] <david_> ubottu, if your trying to get java working on 64 bit ver of moz forget it you need to reinstall the 32 bit ver
[18:19] <YerikY> DasEI: it's an nvidia 8600Gt
[18:19] <mikebot> erUSUL: That site says:
[18:19] <erUSUL> mikebot: it is not installed by default
[18:19] <dazebreak> Hi, about this xchat irc client, how do I stop it from connecting to the Ubuntu Server and channel by default? compile my own?
[18:19] <inordkuo> no...i always see something about pulseaudio errors but i see the same on working machines running intrepid
[18:19] <mikebot> erUSUL: The GCJ flavor of Java is installed as default, and is usually fine for most purposes.
[18:19] <david_> MasterAkia, got to apps, then acessories terminal is in there
[18:19] <david_> or add a link to your desktop
[18:19] <MasterAkia> aahhhh thanks!!!!
[18:19] <DasEI> YerikY: some prop. drivers won't work with xorg 7.4, but I think yours should; anyway, you can try to play back a backup of xorg.conf
[18:20] <nathan__> get it to were i can play games on ubuntu hardy?
[18:20] <david_> ha I thought ubottu was a person
[18:20] <david_> lol
[18:20] <erUSUL> mikebot: well you can try gcj first if it fails install sun's or openjdk
[18:20] <david_> its official I'm a dummy
[18:20] <DasEI> !brain > david_
[18:20] <MasterAkia> bye by all
[18:20] <YerikY> ok, I will try using old backed up xorg.conf files and see if that does anything, or else I'll just delete it
address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 broadcast 192.168.1.255
[18:20] <inordkuo> sipior: but other than that no errors that tell me anything. the drive is formatted as jfs and is separate from the operating system.
[18:20] <YerikY> I seem to recall some option that said if I wanted to stop using xorg.config and I said YES
[18:21] <nathan__> how do i get it to were i can play games on ubuntu hardy?
[18:21] <Xk2c> bye
[18:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !games > nathan__
[18:21] <Xk2c> thx sipior
[18:21] <david_> YerikY, why would you want to stop using xorg?
[18:21] <erUSUL> badboys: anything stands out in "ifconfig -a" or "ip route" output ?
[18:21] <mikebot> erUSUL: OK, java is installed.
[18:21] <cyban> YerikY, if you delete Xorg.conf run xorg config and reboot it will work even with a bad driver etc, so if you have to do it twice then uninstall the driver or install a different one
[18:21] <DasEI> YerikY: try that my xorg.conf in ibex was even empty at a working startup, but I configured mine manually
[18:21] <YerikY> david_: I thought it was an update to 8.10 that replaced the old xorg.config file
[18:21] <david_> YerikY,  did you just upgrade?
[18:22] <Pretto> i am getting "dbus error" when starting firefox, any clue about how to solve it?
[18:22] <YerikY> yes, I just upgraded
[18:22] <sipior> inordkuo: what precisely is the machine doing when it dies? or is it random?
All information was normaly correct
[18:22] <david_> try starting firefox with dbus option
[18:22] <Agion> ﻿http://pastebin.ca/1275135 can anyone help me?
[18:22] <YerikY> ok, I'll just try deleting xorg.conf and see what comes of that.
[18:22] <YerikY> be back in a bit
[18:23] <inordkuo> sipior: it is recording 4 video streams and running a mencoder process
[18:23] <erUSUL> mikebot: just tried myself just unpack the tar.gz in your Desktop go to the folder/bin and click on the binary and it will just wrok (tm)
[18:24] <sipior> inordkuo: how much memory is this machine packing?
[18:24] <erUSUL> badboys: so everything is fine but network is unreacheable :/
[18:24] <inordkuo> sipior: 1gb ram, 2gb swap, the hd i am recording to is 200gb
[18:24] <mikebot> erUSUL: Ah, wonderful. THank you.
[18:25] <mikebot> erUSUL: Now, should I install all the stuff I just did Java/auto-make/build-essential?
I don't understand where is the problem ...
[18:25] <sipior> inordkuo: how long does it take the machine to crash under this load? also, does it respond to "alt-sysrq" commands?
[18:25] <inordkuo> sipior: i've run top while testing the machine and when it locks up i don't see significant swap or cpu usage
[18:25] <erUSUL> mikebot: no if you dled the bin version you do not need to compile it
[18:25] <erUSUL> mikebot: you just need java
I have test with other RJ45, ==> bug
[18:26] <inordkuo> sipior: i can run 4 recordings simultatneously, but as soon as i start the mencoder process, it locks up.
[18:26] <mikebot> erUSUL: Right, but I installed build-essential, auto-make, and that java thing. Should I uninstall those things?
[18:26] <david_> yerkiey I would go deleting xorg
[18:26] <david_> wouldnt
[18:26] <sipior> inordkuo: does the machine spend a lot of time in i/o wait? (the "wa" index in top)
[18:26] <david_> I meant wouldnt
[18:26] <YerikY> didn't work, there was no change when I deleted xorg.conf
[18:26] <nathan__> what do i need to do to get guild wars to run?
[18:26] <david_> yes so your having a driver issue ya?
[18:26] <erUSUL> mikebot: you can uninstall everything but no java
[18:26] <mikebot> erUSUL: OK, thanks.
[18:26] <YerikY> all the symptoms were the same and I didn't need to run xorg config
[18:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !appdb
[18:27] <B|ackPanther> I am trying to install j2sdk1.4.0 so i can use Openlaszlo but when i try "sudo apt-get install j2sdk1.4.0" it says the package cannot be found.How can in install it ?
[18:27] <david_> YerikY, im sorry if i didnt see but what is the exact problem?
[18:27] <rlt> nathan__: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9194
[18:27] <inordkuo> sipior: i did not know about that. i will have to look next time i can test it.  what is "alt-sysrq"?
[18:27] <rlt> nathan__: install wine and read any pertinant advice on that page
[18:27] <nathan__> thank you
[18:27] <rlt> !sysrq | inordkuo
[18:27] <YerikY> david_: I can't login to gnome without using the failsafe option :-(
[18:28] <david_> ok, do you have the option to log into other settings besides failsafe or no?
[18:28] <erUSUL> badboys: really dunno what may be wrong... keep asking once in a while maybe someone can help you. also you can try in #ubuntu-server
Ok thx
[18:28] <YerikY> david_: I get this error could not start gnome session, using failsafe session and then nothing happens. I can move the cursor, and then the screen blacks out and I'm taking to the login screen again
[18:28] <zaero> where is the ics file for evolution stored?
[18:28] <zaero> i want to migrate to sunbird
[18:28] <YerikY> david_: at the login screen I have the typical options other than gnome
[18:29] <sipior> inordkuo: unfortunately, i have to be going. i would say that you might try a smaller number of streams, and see if the problem persists. the computer may simply be trying unsuccessfully t o deal with the load. best of luck sorting things out!
[18:29] <david_> have you tried loggin into debug mode? or terminal, or are you in it now?
[18:29] <zaero> anyone?
[18:29] <erUSUL> zaero: find ~/.evolution -name '*.ics'
[18:29] <inordkuo> sipior: thank you
[18:29] <YerikY> david_: I had to select failsafe gnome login so I could use it, that's what I'm on now
[18:29] <zaero> erUSUL: ok
[18:29] <filipegarcia> can anyone point me a good tutorial about create udev rules in ttyS0 and lp0 port
[18:29] <zaero> erUSUL: thnx
[18:30] <Schnitz> hi all
[18:30] <david_> YerikY, ok, I would think its the .session file thats b0rked
[18:30] <YerikY> david_: This is present in my .xsession-errors file:     Executing /usr/bin/gnome-session failed, will try to run x-terminal-emulator     Fatal IO error 111 (Connection refused) on X server :0.0
[18:30] <Schnitz> since the last network manager update (auto update using update manager) i am experiencing very strange wireless network problems
[18:31] <Schnitz> the wireless connection is dropped _often_
[18:31] <reycastill> hola
[18:31] <Schnitz> automatic reconnect is not working, only disable/enable wireless network in network manager works
[18:31] <david_> YerikY, try this info http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/stable/configuration.html.en
[18:31] <Schnitz> after that it is possible to connect again, before that it will not associate with the access point
[18:31] <david_> YerikY,  then try to reboot with failsafe kernel and recover, and try to reconfgure X
[18:31] <Schnitz> anyone else running into trouble here?
[18:32] <_Rhino> join -win #cisco
[18:32] <_Rhino> Aargh
[18:32] <david_> YerikY,  or try sudo apt-get remove xserver-xgl and then reinstall the xserver
[18:33] <YerikY> david_: hmm, I'll try to reinstall the xserver
[18:33] <Schnitz> sometimes, i think it was beginning around the same time intrepid was released, every wireless and wired network shows TWICE in nm-applet
[18:33] <Estesark> Hi. When I try and play some (not all) WMA files in Rhythmbox, I am asked if I want to search for a codec. I choose yes, and it searches but says there is nothing suitable. Then I get "import errors" with the following message: "The GStreamer plugins to decode "audio/x-wma type" files cannot be found". I have Googled for that phrase but got no results. What can I do?
[18:33] <Schnitz> anyone with this problem?
[18:33] <B|ackPanther> Where is java normally installed in ubuntu ?
[18:33] <YerikY> david_: I get this Couldn't find package xserver-xgl
[18:33] <david_> YerikY, hmmmm thinking sorry
[18:34] <david_> YerikY,  can you view webpages?
[18:34] <david_> YerikY, if so try http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-553442.html
[18:34] <YerikY> david_: Yes, I can view websites
[18:34] <nnull> anyway to use seperate xorg.conf's per User?
[18:35] <david_> YerikY,  someone in that thread said this fixed their problem  Try renaming ~/.gnome2/session to something else.
[18:35] <AJC_Z0> B|ackPanther: See where /etc/alternatives/java points
[18:35] <david_> YerikY,  try to rename you .gnome2/session to something else
[18:35] <YerikY> david_: ok, trying that now
[18:35] <david_> might force it to recreat the file
[18:35] <david_> YerikY,  let me know
[18:36] <ali3nwar3> !theme
[18:36] <Agion> ﻿ ﻿http://pastebin.ca/1275135 can anyone help me? anyone?
[18:36] <nnull> anyway to use seperate xorg.conf's per User? OR launch terminal command (upon logging in, not after xorg is enabled) ???
[18:36] <YerikY> david_: there is now .gnome2/session file
[18:36] <YerikY> david_: there is no .gnome2/session file
[18:36] <david_> ok
[18:36] <nnull> cmon guru's where are you :x
[18:37] <david_> YerikY,  have you tried loggin in again?
[18:37] <david_> YerikY,  try that now
[18:37] <YerikY> david_: I've been using the failsafe option for like a week now
[18:37] <david_> sucks YerikY  ok did you try to relog in?>
[18:37] <YerikY> david_: I try logging in the normal way after every update I install in the failterm session
[18:37] <YerikY> david_: what do you mean "relog" in?
[18:38] <david_> YerikY,  so after renaming it did the same thing?
[18:38] <david_> YerikY,  i wanted you to rename the file quit failsafe and try to log into gnome again
[18:38] <YerikY> david_: there is no .gnome2/session file so I can't rename it
[18:38] <david_> YerikY, AHHHHHHHHHHh
[18:38] <david_> YerikY, ok
[18:38] <david_> YerikY, cd home ls -l
[18:38] <ali3nwar3> what do i need to change my splashscreen?
[18:39] <hej-hej> Hi. Ubuntu doesn't recognize the hard drive in my disk, so I can't get past the partitioning-part of the installation. What should I do?
[18:39] <david_> ali3nwar3, go to session manager
[18:39] <ali3nwar3> thanks david
[18:39] <david_> ali3nwar3,  no problem
[18:39] <david_> ali3nwar3,  I have mine on random with like 30+ login screens
[18:39] <YerikY> david_: what am I looking for when I ls -l?
[18:40] <RatTub> I installed kubuntu on a computer, but decided to remove everything KDE and use it as a command-line machine only ...but now when I boot, the screen stays black and I can't login
[18:40] <RatTub> ssh works fine tho
[18:40] <david_> YerikY, in .gnome your sessions file
[18:40] <benovic> how to ecnrypt a file to send it to another computer? i'd like to have something as usable an a password-protected rar file. searched the internet but did not find anything
[18:40] <RatTub> any ideas?
[18:40] <benovic> it must be windows compatible
[18:40] <Odd-rationale> benovic: look into gpg
[18:40] <YerikY> david_: there is no session file in gnome2
[18:40] <DasEI> benovic: tired truecrypt ?
[18:41] <DasEI> *tired
[18:41] <nnull> anyone know how to/if you can -- exec a terminal script upon a user logging in (before xorg initiates) in debian/ubuntu based disto's?
[18:41] <benovic> nope, not yet
[18:41] <david_> YerikY,  ok hmmm
[18:41] <Odd-rationale> david_: fail! :P
[18:41] <benovic> i'll try, DasEI
[18:41] <Odd-rationale> whoops... wrong guy...
[18:41] <Wips> How can I check if I have a graphic driver installed, or how can manually update/reinstall it?
[18:42] <DasEI> benovic: also gpg does it for single files; if you use TC, possibly cipher it on the win-machine for best compatibility
[18:42] <david_> Odd-rationale, ha so true any suggestions?
[18:42] <benovic> DasEI: well, thats hell complicated
[18:42] <DasEI> benovic: what is complicated ?
[18:43] <david_> YerikY,  have you tried looking in /etc/X11/Sessions/Gnome ?
[18:43] <YerikY> david_: there is no "Sessions" directory in X11
[18:43] <YerikY> :-(
[18:44] <filipegarcia> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/52579 can anyone help me??
[18:44] <YerikY> there is XSessions.d
[18:44] <benovic> i dont want to send along instructions on how to decrypt it, and it must be possible without going through alot of manpages :) dunnow, normally there is some easy way...
[18:44] <david_> YerikY, ahh ok is that a directory or a file?
[18:44] <YerikY> sorry, it's directory and it's actually called Xsession.d
[18:44] <Odd-rationale> david_: sorry, i highlighted the wrong guy...
[18:44] <david_> Odd-rationale, ha np sadly it fit
[18:45] <YerikY> david_: it's directory and it's actually called Xsession.d and there is nothing in it
[18:45] <david_> YerikY, ok try to cd into that
[18:45] <david_> ok
[18:45] <david_> hmm
[18:45] <nnull> !wm
[18:45] <xat_> nnull: xorg is already initialized by the time the login screen appears. you could maybe run a shell script that symlinks a ~/xorg.conf-user to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then reset xorg on login
[18:45] <DasEI> benovic: easiest way will then be install tc on both, use a container
[18:45] <christaker> Hello, i can't understand why ubuntu is so slow on some laptops (with 2cores etc. ) (?) :/
[18:46] <benovic> DasEi, what would you use if you don't know what system the other party is using and do not want to make things complicated..
[18:46] <david_> YerikY,  try to look here http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/2.14/sessions-3.html
[18:46] <DasEI> benovic: tc - container set up by win machine
[18:46] <benovic> on a corporate PC there is often no way to "just install TC" for one file
[18:47] <Odd-rationale> benovic: is gpg not an option?
[18:47] <Oh> Just installed Intrepid on my laptop, now I can't boot into windows... It shows up in my grub menu, but it won't load. Can anyone help?
[18:47] <benovic> requires GPG on both sides...
[18:47] <nnull> xat_¬ but doesnt resetting X require logging in again?
[18:47] <benovic> winrar is there...
[18:47] <xat_> ... oh. yeah. hmm.
[18:47] <DasEI> benovic: you can have self-extracting files with a password that work on linux, too
[18:48] <benovic> how?
[18:48] <benovic> thats fine!
[18:48] <soundray> christaker: do you have a support question?
[18:48] <YerikY> david_: I don't have the default sessions file the link indicates either :-( I wonder if I'll have to re-install ubuntu
[18:49] <nnull> xat_¬ i could avoid xorg starting up on login - by making login CLI based tho
[18:49] <DasEI> benovic: http://www.7-zip.org/
[18:49] <Oh> did the installer fry my windows partition?
[18:49] <benovic> ty
[18:49] <tdreyer1> oh: an you post your /boot/grub/menu.lst file?
[18:50] <tdreyer1> *can
[18:50] <christaker> soundray: i have a laptop with Dual Core procc.  2,5 GB@667Mhz RAM and it takes to boot 1:12 sec while at Vista boots at about 32sec :/ why?
[18:50] <B|ackPanther> If i have java 1.6 do in need java sdk 1.4 ? I want to use Openlaszlo and they say java sdk 1.4 must be installed
[18:50] <Oh> i think it's the partition
[18:50] <badawi> !ipv6
[18:50] <Wips> can I somehow uninstall my Graphic driver? and Ubuntu will automatically install it again itself when I reboot or something?
[18:50] <Oh> it shows up in gparted, but says it's unreadable
[18:50] <DasEI> christaker: which version ubuntu ?
[18:50] <soundray> christaker: because Ubuntu does much more than Vista on bootup, probably. You can try parallelizing some bootup tasks -- give me a minute to look up how
[18:51] <christaker> DasEI: Ubuntu Hardy Heron
[18:51] <DasEI> Wips:reconfigure xorg ?
[18:51] <Oh> latest version
[18:51] <w0ls0n> anyone here have siscontrol installed on 8.10 ?
[18:51] <xat_> nnull: you could... maybe there is a way to pass credentials automatically upon starting xorg
[18:51] <Wips> DasEI: ?
[18:51] <optikalmouse> can I use the Ubuntu LiveCD to mount an NTFS partition as read/write?
[18:52] <optikalmouse> how about a FAT32 partition as read/write?
[18:52] <tdreyer1> Oh: ok. not my area of expertise... sorry. But i would look at spinrite [grc.com]
[18:52] <xat_> nnull: oh, what you could do is this
[18:52] <tdreyer1> Oh: couldn't hurt, and comes with a satisfaction money back guarantee
[18:52] <DasEI> christaker: it was always little slower then xp on my machine, never tried vista, look up following, to see if unnescary services are starting and also look in /var/log/syslog :
[18:52] <DasEI> !bum
[18:52] <fosco_> optikalmouse, yes
[18:52] <david_> YerikY,  you might have to reinstall on of your partitions, have you tried using the installation disk to recover?
[18:52] <Oh> could it be because I pointed grub to live on the windows partition during the install?
[18:53] <tdreyer1> oh: so if it doesn't help, you're not out anything
[18:53] <soundray> christaker: edit /etc/init.d/rc -- find the line that says CONCURRENCY=none and change it to CONCURRENCY=shell
[18:53] <KemrinH> When I open a new tab in firefox, the address bar reads the same as the tab to the right's address bar, and if I type in a new address it effects the tab I had previously opened rather than the new tab. I don't even know where to start to fix this...
[18:53] <YerikY> david_: no I haven't, that's worth a try. thanks for trying
[18:53] <tdreyer1> Oh: is grub giving you an error?
[18:53] <xat_> nnull: something like 'touch /tmp/loggedin' the first time you run the script, then check for its existence to avoid the script frtom running again
[18:53]  * nnull grab's xat's arm and wait's in suspense 
[18:53] <rascal999_> I have a wireless card (atheros), and drivers for Ubuntu, but I can't turn the card 'on'. How can I do this?
[18:53] <optikalmouse> fosco_: both NTFS and FAT32? or just FAT32?
[18:54] <fosco_> both
[18:54] <Oh> no, grub works fine, but the NTFS partition it sits in is unreadable in ubuntu
[18:54] <xat_> nnull: that way, xorg will reset with your user specific xorg conf, and you will have to log in again, but you can avoid being thrown into a loop of xorg constantly resetting every time you log in
[18:54] <xat_> that's the gist of it in my mind, anyway
[18:54] <optikalmouse> fosco_: really? :O :O sweet
[18:54] <david_> YerikY,  no problem sorry i couldnt be of more help
[18:54] <optikalmouse> is there an Ubuntu livecd that comes with ClamAV?>
[18:54] <soundray> christaker: still here?
[18:54] <nnull> xat_¬ yea i get ya good idea
[18:54] <famast> hello. My /etc/group file got cleared out while doing something stupid. I used a copy I had from a vmware installation so that I could bootup again. However, now my internet doesn't work and when I try to use certain programs in system > administration it gives me an error "You are not allowed to access the system configuration"
[18:54] <tdreyer1> Oh: hmmm... and you say that it cannot boot into windows when you try?
[18:54] <christaker> soundray: ok i did that
[18:54] <abchirk> How can I look on the install live cd... if its the 64bit version? coz its a 32bit PC and I don't want to install 64bit there. :P
[18:55] <DasEI> Wips:boot in safe mode, > root shell, then : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg,  backup xorg.conf before
[18:55] <uman> Hi. Anyone know how to make a script or something thats says IF cerntain port/ip connection activated= true THEN do something, like send an email Thanks
[18:55] <david_> abchirk, not possible with 64 install disk
[18:55] <Oh> Yeah... It just says "loading" for a second then goes right back to the menu
[18:55] <david_> abchirk,  you need to download n burn the 32 bit version
[18:55] <fosco_> abchirk, search for *.deb and see if it shows amd64 or i686
[18:55] <abchirk> ah cool david_ so it is 32bit If he installs? :P
[18:56] <Oh> ubuntu boots fine, and there is an oem recovery mode that boots fine from another partition
[18:56] <soundray> christaker: before you disable any services with bum as DasEI suggests, I would check whether the concurrency thing brings the boot time down.
[18:56] <david_> abchirk,  yes it will auto detect hardware
[18:56] <tdreyer1> Oh: weird. Sorry I can't help any more...
[18:56] <famast> is there a way to "repair" ubuntu without having to install everything again and lose my documents?
[18:56] <abchirk> ok thx
[18:56] <Oh> thanks anyway
[18:56] <christaker> soundray: so i reboot my pc now, right?
[18:56] <soundray> christaker: also, if you install the bootchart package, you can see graphically where the system spends time during booting.
[18:57] <christaker> soundray: is there anything that also have to do?
[18:57] <david_> famast,  yes just type rm -R / j/k yes load failsafe kernel and use recovery
[18:57] <DasEI> famast: what is the issue ?
[18:57] <soundray> christaker: no, if you've saved the modified /etc/init.d/rc, that should be it
[18:57] <famast> david_: thank you
[18:57] <famast> DasEI: hello. My /etc/group file got cleared out while doing something stupid. I used a copy I had from a vmware installation so that I could bootup again. However, now my internet doesn't work and when I try to use certain programs in system > administration it gives me an error "You are not allowed to access the system configuration"
[18:57] <uman> Hi. Anyone know how to make a script or something thats says IF cerntain port/ip connection activated= true THEN do something, like send an email Thanks
[18:57] <Oh> I'm guessing that grub installed itself into my ntfs partition, but wrote the data as ext3 or something weird, but i have no idea how to fix that
[18:57] <david_> famast,  np
[18:57] <christaker> soundray: ok thank you! i'll try it right now :P
[18:58] <Z> Anyone know a lot about networkmanager and vpnc?
[18:58] <uman> famast, have to be root i think
[18:58] <soundray> christaker: good luck
[18:58] <david_> anyone here triple booting ?
[18:58] <gverig> In previous version (hardy) Network Manager supported configurations that would then end up in resolv.conf. It was screwy cause it wouldn't remember settings but it was there. It seems that intrepid doesn't even have this option (specifically "search domains"- "search" and "domain" options). Is this correct?
[18:58] <david_> z hmmm whatcha wanna know or do?
[18:58] <gverig> i.e. is there a way to set search and domain portions of resolv.conf?
[18:58] <uman> david_ yeah, i have ubuntu 8.10, 8.04 and xp
[18:58] <erUSUL> uman: you can use "lsof" to check the conection and act depending on it
[18:58] <Raylz> what do i have to put into /etc/hosts.allow to allow ssh ?
[18:59] <david_> uman,  I have vista 8.10, but I want to add redhat 10
[18:59] <Guest90392> david_: Firstly, it seems to be caching my password/group password even tho I tell it not to
[18:59] <eliasib> hey guys
[18:59] <zleap> vista 8.10
[18:59] <DasEI> famast: ibex ?
[18:59] <Guest90392> david_: secondly, as of yesterday, it doesn't seem to be working
[18:59] <eliasib> how do i get pythonGL?
[19:00] <eliasib> How do i get pythonGL?
[19:00] <lianimator> does anyone have an acer laptop where the headphones don't work??
[19:00] <famast> DasEI: yes Ibex 8.10
[19:00] <david_> Guest90392, I see, is Tun installed into kernel?
[19:01] <zleap> hmm
[19:01] <Guest90392> david_: How would I know that, lsmod?
[19:01] <Guest90392> david_: lsmod lists tun...
[19:01] <DasEI> famast: I 've got a quite freh install here, which's file I could clean and give you, will have to had your user then, try ?
[19:01] <david_> Guest90392,  No!  bydmesg | grep TUN
[19:02] <xat_> eliasib: the python-opengl package maybe?
[19:02] <david_> Guest90392, tell me output
[19:02] <Guest90392> david_: yep: [  127.758079] tun: Universal TUN/TAP device driver, 1.6
[19:02] <eliasib> yes the python-opengl
[19:02] <famast> DasEI: I appreciate the help. the /etc/group file might work
[19:02] <david_> Guest90392, ok what does more /etc/vpnc.conf say?
[19:02] <DasEI> famast: brb
[19:03] <david_> Guest90392, IPSEC should say secret group_password
[19:03] <Guest90392> david_: doesn't exist
[19:03] <david_> thats the problem
[19:03] <eliasib> how do i get python-opengl?
[19:03] <david_> Guest90392,  your missing your vpnc.conf hence it aint working
[19:03] <xat_> eliasib: python-opengl should show up as an installable package in your synaptic package manager
[19:03] <david_> try find  maybe its in an odd directory
[19:03] <david_> Guest90392,  try find to locate it
[19:04] <Guest90392> david_: do I need vpnc.conf to use networkmanager to connect to the vpn concentrator?
[19:04] <david_> Guest90392, yes as far as i know, but Im not an expert on it
[19:04] <eliasib> where should python-opengl be located???
[19:04] <david_> Guest90392, vpnc set security and gateway
[19:04] <Guest90392> david_: I have nevver specifically set one up before....
[19:05] <Dark_Angel_> for greek;;
[19:05] <xat_> eliasib: system -> administration -> synaptic package manager -> search 'python-opengl'
[19:05] <xat_> eliasib: you will see two packages - python-opengl and python-opengl-doc
[19:05] <david_> Guest90392, well how are you connecting to your vpn sans a gateway?
[19:05] <Almark> Hello, I am wondering if my monitor is a DDC monitor, DDC is enabled in xorg.conf I need it so that my screen looks like it should, its not sizing right
[19:05] <Almark> DDC isn't enabled I mean
[19:05] <Guest90392> david_: it's specified in the networkmanager configuration screen, I assume nm stores it somewhere
[19:06] <uman> david_ thanks, the lsof -i command seems VERY useful, however i dont know how to write something that checks if a certain connection is active... i can use the terminal to send emails so all i am missing as a way to check if the connection is active and tell the pc to run a certain command  which i know(to send email) when that connection is made
[19:06] <systm> would it be possible to resize a partition via CLI (sshing) into the box?
[19:06] <DasEI> famast: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79952/     , this is a backup from the original one
[19:06] <Guest90392> systm: what type of partition, mount point, etc?
[19:06] <famast> DasEI: thank you I will try it out
[19:07] <famast> and compare it to the one i have
[19:07] <kebomix> #aircrack
[19:07] <Guest90392> david_: I only have /usr/share/doc/vpnc/examples/vpnc.conf
[19:07] <kebomix> aircrack-ng
[19:07] <Guest90392> no other one
[19:07] <kebomix> #aircrack-ng
[19:07] <Raylz> i somehow cant connect to my brothers pc via ssh
[19:07] <systm> Guest90392: just a basic install of ubuntu.  resize it to about 5g and add 6gs to another partition
[19:07] <Raylz> port forwarding is set
[19:07] <david_> Guest90392, ok can you cp or mv it to right directory?
[19:07] <Raylz> openssh-server runs
[19:07] <Hikefu> kebomix, /join first
[19:07] <erUSUL> uman: for example to check if i have bittorrent running... on a terminal → lsof -n -i  :6881 > /dev/null; if [ $? = 0 ]; then echo "t"; else echo "f"; fi
[19:07] <Raylz> my ip is in his /etc/hosts.allow but still connection refused
[19:08] <Guest90392> systm: probably not easily since you want to change root...
[19:08] <erUSUL> uman: that expects bt to be configured to use port 6881
[19:08] <ubu> Hi
[19:08] <braden_> whats up guys
[19:08] <Guest90392> david_: I do have /etc/vpnc/example.conf, which I think is the same file...
[19:08] <systm> Guest90392: I Dont wanna change the root, unless you mean / fs
[19:08] <kebomix> hello , i made instructions in this page http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=ipw2200 and i lost my wireless connection , help me plz :S
[19:08] <badawi> !lvm2
[19:08] <david_> Guest90392, your going to want to edit it to your specifications
[19:08] <Raylz> did i forget anything?
[19:08] <badawi> !lvm
[19:08] <slayton> is there anyway to make it so when I click the "X" on rhythm box it doesn't close the application but just the window
[19:08] <nnull> how big is the ubuntu dvd?
[19:08] <david_> then syslink the file
[19:09] <uman> erusul, thank you so much.. i will analyze that line of code (what is it python?) and adapt it to my needs ;)
[19:09] <ldaugusto> does anyone knows why when I use xfce or other WM, i got dbus errors when using Banshee/Rhythmbox/Listen?
[19:09] <Raylz> !ssh
[19:09] <RatTub> I installed kubuntu on a computer, but decided to remove everything KDE and use it as a command-line machine only ...but now when I boot, the screen stays black and I can't login
[19:09] <Broom> hey all
[19:09] <RatTub> ssh works fine
[19:09] <rs-friends> hello every 1
[19:09] <erUSUL> uman: no it is something you can run in your shell command line
[19:09] <badawi> ubuntu installer should support lvm2, the other major distros do that
[19:10] <erUSUL> uman: is shell script
[19:10] <RatTub> any ideas?
[19:10] <Guest90392> david_: ok, now what?
[19:10] <gavimobile> im wondering... if i terminate ddrescue in the middle, will my iso still include everything it saved till i canceled?
[19:10] <Broom> can anyone please help me with postfix and bounced messages? i'm trying to send messages through a php script and all of them are bounced by postfix: status=bounced (<recipient domain>), any ideas?
[19:10] <Slart> badawi: not even the alternate install?
[19:10] <david_> Guest90392, have you tried sighuping vpnc?
[19:10] <rs-friends> when i time startx fluxbox it dont start, why?, i am log out of ( x server)
[19:10] <Guest90392> david_: I don't have a vpnc process
[19:11] <uman> erusul, ok thanks, so i guess i have to save it as .sh now the thing is, that is only going to check once for the connection right? i would need it to check continously... since i dont know shell script/commands the only thing that comes to mind is setting it so that command is run on a schedual , like every minute or so...
[19:11] <david_> Guest90392, ok, so can you try to run a process to test it?
[19:11] <badawi> Slart: dunno what that is, all i know my /home is /dev/sdb and it's lvm, the installer did not see it, i have to manully install lvm2 and add the fstab entry
[19:11] <Almark> Does anyone know if enabling DDC in Xorg.conf can hurt a monitor?
[19:11] <rs-friends> when i type startx fluxbox it dont start, why?, i am log out of ( x server)
[19:12] <Slart> badawi: the alternate install cd handles more "advanced" install options such as encryption, raid etc.. try typing !alternate for more bot info
[19:12] <mphill> Broom: probably the wrong channel to be asking. There are lots of things that could be going on. Email is complicated. Are you using PHP's mail() function and are you using the sendmail wrapper or SMTP?
[19:12] <erUSUL> uman: if you save it in a shell script you need to indent it it properly
[19:12] <badawi> !alternate > badawi
[19:12] <Broom> php's mail()
[19:12] <Slart> badawi: it doesn't do the whole live-cd thing though.. it's just an install cd
[19:12] <rs-friends> when i type startx fluxbox it dont start, why?, i am log out of ( x server)
[19:13] <Almark> If you can read this pls tell me, I think irssi isnt setup right.
[19:13] <progex> resolution to low cannot change resolution
[19:13] <mphill> Broom: are you trying to deliever locally or to an external mail server?
[19:13] <uman> erusul, im  not sure how to indent it properly.. ill try to compile/save it, later, after lunch;) and see if i have troubles, thnaks for everything, be back in a while
[19:13] <rs-friends> when i type startx fluxbox it dont start, why?, i am log out of ( x server)
[19:13] <Guest90392> david_: vpnc: no response from target
[19:13] <DasEI> Almark: only chinese signs here
[19:13] <Broom> external mail server
[19:13] <Guits> Can I change resolution from terminal
[19:13] <Slart> Almark: seems to work here
[19:13] <tdreyer1> Almark: i can read it
[19:14] <The> hello everyone is this a support chat for linux??????????/
[19:14] <The> I just installed xchat
[19:14] <Slart> The: yes.. as the topic would suggest
[19:14] <erUSUL> uman: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79959/
[19:14] <mphill> Broom: do you have your mydestination setup properly? and are your smtpd restrictions all correct?  do you need a smart relay, does your ISP block traffic on port 25?
[19:14] <david_> Guest90392,  is the target a known working host?
[19:14] <DasEI> !hi | The
[19:14] <The> oh thats great so if I have a problem
[19:14] <Almark> thanks
[19:14] <DasEI> !ot > The
[19:14] <david_> Guest90392,  brb
[19:14] <Guest90392> david_: it was
[19:14] <erUSUL> uman: you can take a look at the bash advanced scripting guide (google it)
[19:14] <The> than you guys can help me
[19:14] <Slart> The: you ask about it here.. and use only one question mark..
[19:14] <Broom> yup, all of postfix config i think is correct, at least from what I could read on examples
[19:15] <Slart> !ask | The
[19:15] <kebomix> any room for linux certificates ?
[19:15] <Broom> what is bothering me is the status=bounced and no explanation whatsoever
[19:15] <rs-friends> when i type startx fluxbox it dont start, why?, i am log out of ( x server)
[19:15] <The> oke
[19:15] <The> thanks
[19:15] <zleap> chat later
[19:16] <mphill> Broom: normally that is your relay settings that are botched.
[19:16] <rs-friends> when i type startx fluxbox it dont start, why?, i am log out of ( x server)
[19:16] <erUSUL> uman: the echos are just examples of something you can do you can put whatever you please there
[19:16] <badawi> Slart: i'll look into it thanks
[19:16] <Broom> i have relay_domains = $mydestination, $mynetworks
[19:16] <nnull> where abouts is the grub config that sends kernal line please?
[19:16] <rs-friends> when i type startx fluxbox it dont start, why?, i am log out of ( x server)
[19:16] <Slart> rs-friends: don't repeat so often.. once every 5 minutes is enough.. use the time to google or search the forums
[19:17] <Aquina> hy @ll!
[19:17] <progex> guits
[19:17] <mphill> Broom: also check your /var/log/mail.log for information
[19:17] <|ntegra|> can someone help me to connect wifi?
[19:17] <progex> can i change resolution from terminal....to low res to click ok
[19:17] <|ntegra|> I'm abit lost in the steps

[19:17] <chocohoof> good evening
[19:17] <Almark> rs-friends I use Fluxbox, what seems to be the problem
[19:17] <Slart> !iwifi | |ntegra|
[19:18] <Guits> can i change resolution from terminal....to low res to click ok
[19:18] <DasEI> !wifi | |ntegra|
[19:18] <Almark> rs-friends I use Fluxbox, what seems to be the problem
[19:18] <Slart> lianimator: don't know about the aspire but my acer laptop has a separate volume control for the headphone jack.. check the gnome volume control
[19:18] <chocohoof> pls anyone know why my firefox doesn't play any sounds?
[19:18] <Broom> mphill: that's where I'm seeing the status=bounced
[19:18] <Broom> messg
[19:18] <rbd_> does an "apt-get upgrade" do a dpkg -r then a dpkg -i under the covers (e.g. is the old package removed before the new one is installed...or is there a dpkg upgrade switch it uses?)
[19:18] <badawi> !mp3
[19:18] <rs-friends> when i do type startx fluxbox it dont start, when i do type startx then ubuntu just start
[19:19] <rs-friends> what can the problem be?
[19:19] <david_> chocohoof, becuase your computer has no speakers j/k Well is it java based?
[19:19] <lianimator> Slart: this is one of the lucky restarts which made the volume work! :D
[19:19] <lianimator> Slart: false alarm... my jack was not plugged
[19:20] <Slart> lianimator:  =)
[19:20] <Almark> how do you send a pritave message?
[19:21] <gavimobile> how can i check the size of a file in the terminal
[19:21] <Slart> Almark: /msg nickname bla bla bla bla
[19:21] <david_> gavagai,  du -h or ls -a or ls-l
[19:21] <Slart> gavimobile: "file weirdfile" or "ls -l"
[19:21] <Almark> Oh I have but he doesn't answer, I dont know how to see who is in here
[19:21] <Guest90392> david_: brb
[19:21] <david_> Guest90392,  np
[19:21] <gavimobile> thans Slart
[19:22] <Slart> Almark: you can always try writing /whois nickname to see some info about an nickname
[19:22] <windowshasyou> anyone know what prefix should be for aptitude when compiling from source?
[19:22] <Almark> thanks
[19:23] <srizz> need a hand with a download
[19:23] <[TiZ]> Hi there. I hate it when programs crash, and just go away without saying anything. I want to know why a program crashes, without running every program I would ever want to run in a terminal. Is there any way I can accomplish this?
[19:23] <david_> sudo aptitiude -f right?  im not 100% on that one
[19:23] <ikonia> srizz: what's the problem ?
[19:23] <lianimator> [TiZ]: try dmesg
[19:23] <darkdan> I got a newbie install question.  I loaded ubuntu, then installed XP...now I don't have a boot manager asking which one I'd like to use.  Anyway to fix that or do I have to reinstall ubuntu?
[19:23] <ikonia> !grub > darkdan
[19:23] <Slart> [TiZ]: try the logs.. syslog, dmesg, kern.log
[19:23] <Slart> !grub | darkdan
[19:23] <srizz> ikonia: trying to download the new google earth
[19:24] <Fazavon> david: it is sudo aptitiude install -f
[19:24] <david_> darkdan,  whatever system you install last gets to control the bootloader, you need a bootloader in your MBR
[19:24] <ikonia> srizz: and what is the problem ?
[19:24] <[TiZ]> Slart: Where is syslog?
[19:24] <darkdan> Thanks ubottu
[19:24] <Slart> [TiZ]: /var/log/syslog
[19:24] <david_> Fazavon,  I thought so I typed sudo aptitiude -f instea dof install
[19:24] <gavimobile> if i terminate ddrescue in the middle, will my iso still include everything it saved till i canceled?
[19:24] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: the choose an application box came up and im not sure what to pick
[19:24] <darkdan> I figured it was easy, but I searched the forums and couldn't find it!  Thanks a ton
[19:24] <Guest90392> david_: ok...
[19:24] <gavimobile> or will it be considered corrupted
[19:24] <ikonia> srizz: have you read the instructions from the google site ?
[19:25] <Slart> darkdan: it's a very common problem.. but it's pretty easy to fix.. good luck
[19:25] <ikonia> srizz: what format is the file in ?
[19:25] <david_> Guest90392,  ok Im not sure I can help you any further I have only run vpnc a few times, although im curious as to whats causing your error, and you said the host was good?
[19:25] <Guest90392> david_: still no dice...
[19:25] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: actually no ill do that, format unknown
[19:25] <heogen> hi, how can I put full screen game?
[19:26] <ikonia> srizz: what is the file extension
[19:26] <[TiZ]> Slart: Nothing concerning the crash in any of those logs.
[19:26] <Guest90392> david_: if it isn't, all hands would be on deck because it would mean the entire company couldn't vpn in
[19:26] <heogen> this application exist in ubuntu?
[19:26] <david_> heogen,  what game? start game with specified x screen size
[19:26] <heogen> torcs
[19:26] <Slart> [TiZ]: then I guess it's back to running the app from a terminal.. I don't know of any other way
[19:26] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: GoogleEarthLinux.bin
 Torcs game
[19:26] <ikonia> srizz: it's a binary faile, mark it as executable
[19:27] <david_> heogen,  can you start torcs with  specifying the X screen size?
[19:27] <ikonia> srizz: you can do this with chmod, or open nautilus and use enable "execute" option in properties
[19:27] <[TiZ]> Slart: That is unacceptable. I will not run every program that I would ever want to run from a terminal. I was running XChat a couple minutes ago, and it randomly crashed, seemingly for no reason. There must be some way to notify me why a program crashes.
 no I opened it default
[19:27] <ikonia> [TiZ]: you can get notification from the running it a console,
[19:28] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: i don't have nautilus
[19:28] <david_> heogen,  see if it allows you do with specified screen size best way
[19:28] <ikonia> [TiZ]: or from the logs suggested to you
[19:28] <ikonia> srizz: what version of ubuntu are you using
 I thought with the function can I put full screen
[19:28] <david_> ikonia,  lol yea chmod 777 or 755
[19:28] <[TiZ]> Well... hmm. I wonder if I turned off a log thing in the services.
[19:28] <ikonia> [TiZ]: most applications will also have log files that are stored in your gome directory
[19:28] <maxime> cc
[19:28] <Slart> [TiZ]: oh.. I'm so sorry.. I will immediately go fix it.. our custo... wait a minute.. I didn't create the system.. yea.. that's right.. I'm just a user.. go away
[19:28] <ikonia> david_: what ?
[19:28] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: is it in synaptic? the newest
 ok
[19:28] <Grab> hello, is it possible to install a mini linux distro in a few MBs of space, (with a gui) ?
[19:28] <david_> ikonia,  the command to modify a binary for execute
[19:29] <[TiZ]> Slart: I'm not complaining at you, I'm letting off steam. Cool it.
[19:29] <ikonia> srizz: it's already installed, it's the default file manager in ubuntu
[19:29] <ikonia> david_: I know how to set file permissions thanks
[19:29] <[TiZ]> Slart: Though I do apologize, I guess it did seem that way.
[19:29] <ikonia> david_: but I don't tell people to 777 files blidnly
[19:29] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: oh ok
[19:30] <Grab> i need to run a virtual OS on that linux distro
[19:30] <Slart> [TiZ]: apology accepted.. I still don't know of any other way though.. if there is a segmentation fault or something like that it usually ends up in the syslog..
[19:30] <ikonia> Grab: there is a minimal ubuntu install option available
[19:30] <tdreyer1> !paste > tdreyer1
[19:30] <ikonia> [TiZ]: if there is a seg fault you will normally get a core file for that application
[19:30] <david_> ikonia, wow ok, I thought you were asking, of course not , but thanks for the condescension
[19:30] <ikonia> david_: nothing condescension about it, just stating a fact
[19:31] <[TiZ]> Slart: Looks like I turned off my loggers. :x I'll turn them back on, and check next time an app crashes. Still, it'd be nice if a notification popped up or something. Maybe I'll stop by brainstorm.
[19:31] <[TiZ]> ikonia: Core file? Huh?
[19:31] <ikonia> [TiZ]: depending on the type of crash you may get a core file for that application
[19:31] <dnyy> Is there anything like wine but for mac apps?
[19:31] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: still not sure what to do
[19:31] <Slart> [TiZ]: ah.. that would explain it.. =)
[19:31] <david_> ikonia, hmmm you mentioned  "you dont need to be told how to chmod" I didnt assume I honestly thought you were asking a question, no worries I didn't see you were answering a quesiton
[19:31] <mphill> dnyy: no
[19:31] <ikonia> [TiZ]: which you can then back trace, if you want to put the time in
[19:31] <ikonia> srizz: open the file manager you normally use
[19:32] <mphill> dnyy: only rumors
[19:32] <jxander> is there a way to recover deleted files from a ext3 partition?
[19:32] <dnyy> mphill: well dang, there's only one mac app I really care about, so it's not too much a big deal.
[19:32] <rlt> !recover | jxander
[19:32] <[TiZ]> ikonia: I don't think they'd be any more than greek to me, but just in case, where are such files located?
[19:32] <Slart> jxander: I think so.. I think you have to look for a ext2 undelete app though
[19:32] <ikonia> david_ it's not a problem at all, hce why I wasn't trying to be condensending
[19:32] <jxander> Slart: thanks :D
[19:32] <jxander> rlt: 10x too :D
[19:32] <ikonia> [TiZ]: normally in the runing directory
[19:33] <winnuke> hello
[19:33] <JJ_> hello all i have a question
[19:33] <david_> ikonia, cheers no worries we're all trying to help one another. I am an admin  I'm used to telling people plainly what commands to use.
[19:33] <[TiZ]> ikonia: Okay then. Thanks, all.
[19:33] <Slart> !ask | JJ_
[19:33] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: will Gdebi work
[19:33] <JJ_> ok

[19:34] <ikonia> winnuke please calm down, and remember this is a support channel
[19:34] <JJ_> i added medibuntu repository, and everything went smoothly but i blockd the non free ones from the list, now i want to know how to unblock.... i used the following command sudo sed -e 's/ non-free//' -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[19:35] <z4chh> i get an error when i try to run ubiquity to install mythbuntu...."ImportError: cannot import name curdir"
[19:35] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: yes ubuntu 8.04
[19:35] <z4chh> might i have a bad install cd?
[19:35] <david_> anyone familar with using touch properly?
[19:35] <rlt> JJ_: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list, and add non-free to the end of each line
[19:35] <Slart> z4chh: isn't there some kind of checksum checker for the install cd?
[19:35] <Slart> z4chh: something like "test disc"
[19:36] <AutoMatriX> David, last time I touched, I got slapped :(
[19:36] <JJ_> rlt thanks im new lol
[19:36] <ikonia> srizz: then go to the places menu and open the desktop icon, that will open nautlius for you
[19:36] <D4rkN30mx> i have a problem with my ubuntu 8.1, i cant install my sound, already run the hardware test, and show me that my sound driver is o.kbut i cant hear
[19:36] <rlt> JJ_: You're welcome :)
[19:36] <JJ_> cant wait for jaunty it after all has my nick name jj ;)
[19:36] <Slart> D4rkN30mx: checked all the volume settings?
[19:36] <srizz> ﻿ikonia:ok
[19:36] <kr00l> anyone know where i can get support for gOS?
[19:36] <Slart> D4rkN30mx: are you running more the one soundcard?
[19:37] <Slart> kr00l: isn't that a google product?
[19:37] <Pici> Slart: No.
[19:37] <Izinucs> Is there a channel for Pidgin? I'm trying to set it and ekiga up to interface with gizmo.. so I don't have to install gizmo.
[19:37] <D4rkN30mx> Slart:  no, and already check the sound setings
[19:37] <kr00l> It's a variant of Ubuntu
[19:37] <Pici> kr00l: Start with their website.
[19:37] <lianimator> what happens when I do sudo modprobe -b <modulename>
[19:37] <kr00l> Does Ubuntu 8.10 support Google Gadgets?
[19:37] <rlt> Izinucs: #pidgin, I think
[19:38] <z4chh> Slart, i did do that..it said 1 file had an error, might that screw my installation up?
[19:38] <Pici> lianimator: Did you read the modprobe manpage?
[19:38] <Slart> kr00l: wikipedia lists this as their site, http://www.thinkgos.com/
[19:38] <Hikefu> kr00l, support, i don't think so, but you can install google gadgets
[19:38] <Izinucs> rlt: that was it.. thanks.
[19:38] <D4rkN30mx> Slart:  in hardware check, tell me that my sound card is I82801DBICH4 , and supose that its o.k, but, already check my sound card with other O.S. and its o.k,
[19:38] <Slart> z4chh: yes.. it might.. if it's the right/wrong file
[19:39] <kr00l> Thanks, I really like gOS but ubuntu has so much more support and it's easy to use. I'll just stick with 8.10
[19:39] <JJ_> thanks worked like a charm lol
[19:39] <lianimator> Pici: yes, it says blacklist.. how do I reverse it?
[19:39] <Slart> D4rkN30mx: hmm.. ok.. have you tried switching between alsa and pulseaudio in system, preferences, sound?
[19:39] <D4rkN30mx> Slart: amm, not, let me check
[19:39] <Hikefu> kr00l, a lot of the differences are cosmetic anyway. You can actually make a setup very similar. Google it.
[19:40] <kr00l> ok
[19:40] <Pici> lianimator: It doesnt add it to the blacklist, it just keeps the blacklist file in mind when doing the command.
[19:41] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: it still says theres no application installed for this file type
[19:41] <ikonia> srizz what did you do ?
[19:41] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: enable it then double clicked on it
[19:42] <ikonia> srizz: so you want into properties and makred it as executable
[19:42] <ikonia> "marked"
[19:42] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: yes
[19:42] <ikonia> srizz: associate it with the command ggnome-terminal
[19:42] <ikonia> gnome-terminal sorry
[19:43] <paul68> I have a question I have currently 3 partitions the first partition vista  the second partition a backup drive in ntfs and the last partition with the current ubuntu version, if I whipe out the first and second partition will I be able to boot into linux partition or is that impossible
[19:43] <ikonia> paul68: thats fine
[19:43] <ikonia> paul68: grub is stored on your mbr and the menu.lst and stage files are on your linux partition
[19:44] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: not sure what you mean kinda new at this i got the terminal open
[19:44] <ice_cream> hey, thought i'd just put this out there.. in the notes on upgrading for ubuntu servers 8.04 -> 8.10  , says to look for update-manager-core  , but there's no real -core ending on that package, it seems
[19:45] <ikonia> srizz: I guess we'll do this the easy way, type "./the_name_of_your_google_eath_file.bin"
[19:45] <paul68> ikonia ok thanks
[19:45] <Pici> ice_cream: That package should exist no matter what release you're using.
[19:45] <gasmasq> Hi, I am having trouble getting a network connection with Ubuntu 7.10 on my iBook G4 PPC. There's no problem connecting from the LiveCD, but the install will not let me log on. I just installed to bcm43xx driver, as I thought this was the problem, but I still cannot get my computer to connect to the net from the install. What do I need to do?
[19:45] <ice_cream> mm oh... i think i know what it was.. when i was searching i just had text cut off
[19:46] <ice_cream> yea, that was it lol, sry =D
[19:46] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: it said no such file directory
[19:46] <vecam> hello, I'm looking for an application I can manage my pdf books library, anybody have a clue ?
[19:46] <ice_cream> @ Pici  -->  alias aps='aptitude search -F "%c %M %15v %15V %p %d"
[19:46] <nnull> !apparmor
[19:46] <ikonia> SchneeSchwarz: type "cd path_to_your_directory" and replace the path line to where your file is eg: cd /home/bob/Desktop
[19:47] <ikonia> srizz: type "cd path_to_your_directory" and replace the path line to where your file is eg: cd /home/bob/Desktop
[19:47] <ice_cream> i should set a char limit for %p too
[19:47] <XLV> anyone here uses ati radeon latest cards? is it possible with latest firegl drivers ( those that get installed by 8.10 ) to have a dual monitor setup? i got a 24" 1920x1200 and a 22" 1680x1050, when i enable large desktop, it forms a 3840x1200 display, but the screen of the 22" doesnt pan to cover the whole 1920x1200 virtual desktop thats displayed there.
[19:47] <ice_cream> thx again
[19:47] <XLV> card is radeon 4850
[19:47] <nnull> whats the security thing fedora uses like apparmor but its something else
[19:47] <rlt> nnull: selinux
[19:48] <ikonia> XLV: ati cards are VERY fussy, the make and model of your card and monitor can effect that quite badley
[19:48] <nnull> ty
[19:48] <ikonia> nnull: selinux
[19:48] <badawi> !firewall
[19:49] <Newb`s> !help
[19:49] <ikonia> Newb`s: just ask the question
[19:49] <XLV> ikonia, sapphire radeon 4850 512MB, but i think its just the way ati does multi monitors displays.. what puzzles me is why the vitual 1920x1200 desktop on the 22" doesnt pan..
[19:49] <Newb`s> ikonia: Nono, I was just looking for bot commands ;)
[19:49] <ikonia> Newb`s: then please do that in private
[19:49] <Dans34> !Firestarter
[19:50] <|turuburu|> any irc client to have clean window here? i m tires to see all this joins at active windows.
[19:50] <psyjoniz_> ikonia: maybe other people wouldn't mind seeing how its done
[19:50] <XLV> ikonia, another info is that the 22" is connected to card through vga, the 24" with dvi
[19:50] <ikonia> XLV: as I said the card and monitors can effect it quite badley, ati support is very poor on linux
[19:50] <|turuburu|> i tried konversation , xchat, kvirc but did not find out how to do it
[19:50] <Stalker72> My speakers, Bose Companion 5, have integrated sound card in the subwoofer. If I buy a sound card for Sennheiser HD 650 headphones, will it be a problem to switch between those two?
[19:50] <ikonia> psyjoniz_: if they sit the the channel they will learn
[19:50] <gasmasq> I am having trouble getting a network connection with Ubuntu 7.10 on my iBook G4 PPC. There's no problem connecting from the LiveCD, but the install does not connect. I just installed to bcm43xx driver, but I still cannot get my computer to connect to the net from the install. What do I need to do?
[19:50] <Takuya> I have a question. I was wondering how I can make screenlets not hide when I show the desktop, if anyone knows. I tried some gconf-editor trick.. but I am unable to get it to work. Any ideas?
[19:50] <psyjoniz_> ikonia: "in private" isn't on the channel
[19:50] <gasmasq> installed the* driver
[19:50] <XLV> ikonia, hmm.. monitors are 24" l 245wp and 22" lg l222ws.. you got first hand experience on ati's dual displays ways?
[19:50] <ice_cream> |turuburu|, so you just want to hide  irc /join and /quit messages?
[19:50] <rlt> |turuburu|: in XChat, right click on the channel name in the channel switcher. There's a "Hide Join/Part Messages" option somewhere in that right-click menu.
[19:51] <ikonia> psyjoniz_: the bot is used on the channel enough to learn without some guy playing with the bot infront of 1300+ people
[19:51] <XLV> ikonia, 24" lg 245wp-bn i mean
[19:51] <ikonia> XLV: not with ATI , because I won't buy ati cards
[19:51] <ikonia> XLV: but I've delt with a lot of bug reports on them
[19:51] <psyjoniz_> ikonia: congrats, i believe this went on for more lines than his playing ^^
[19:51] <ice_cream> yes, what rlt said, n1 =)
[19:51] <ikonia> !msgthebot > psyjoniz_
[19:51] <ikonia> !botabuse > psyjoniz_
[19:52] <XLV> ikonia, ok.. i'll keep looking into it then.. ii know they are perky, but i was under the impression their latest drivers have improved significally
[19:52] <aho_> where does network manager store the settings it uses ?  I have an e220 that works out of the box on ubuntu and I'm trying to use the same settings on a fedora box
[19:52] <scientes_> my ip keep setting itsself differnt from what i have in etc/network/interfaces and automatically while im using it
[19:52] <scientes_> why??????
[19:53] <scientes_> whats going on
[19:53] <ikonia> scientes_: is network manager set to dhcp ?
[19:53] <scientes_> i removed network-manager cause it loves to f up everything
[19:53] <ikonia> scientes_: do you mean it caused you a problem
[19:54] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: i navigated to the file on the desktop
[19:54] <scientes_> it like to do things automatically that i already have weel set up  manually
[19:54] <ikonia> srizz: great
[19:54] <scientes_> like change my dns to something that doesnt work
[19:54] <gpowers> scientes_: which version of ubuntu are you running?
[19:54] <scientes_> 8.10
[19:55] <gpowers> i had similiar problems when I upgraded to 8.10. i thought about removing network-manager, but then I just changed settings (checking...)
[19:55] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: i can't remember what the next command was to open it though
[19:55] <ikonia> scientes_: paste your interfaces file and paste ps -ef (all in a pastebin pleasE)
[19:55] <ikonia> srizz: ./name_of_your_google_file.bin
[19:55] <D4rkN30mx> Slart:  already check all the sound system preferences, and its the same
[19:55] <scientes_> http://pastie.org/330162
[19:55] <joelmca> Is there a "delete" equivalent to make-ssl-cert?
[19:55] <joelmca> I tried delete-ssl-cert ;-)
[19:55] <schelf> brb need to reboot :P
[19:55] <ikonia> joelmca remove with rm is the way
[19:56] <scientes_> maybe its the bridge to itsself :)
[19:56] <ikonia> scientes_: your setting an ip4 and 6 address on the same card
[19:56] <NoiseEee> hey, i was wondering why i consistently get a 3-4 second pause after submitting my login, and before being prompted for my password, when SSH'ing to my Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition
[19:56] <scientes_> cant i do that?
[19:56] <joelmca> ikonia: OK. Thanks. Do I also delete the numbered directory associated with it as well?
[19:56] <scientes_> or do i need to do eth0, eth0:1
[19:56] <slack_baphomet> whats a good and easy mail application to configure
[19:56] <ikonia> scientes_: a card should really have one address physically assided
[19:56] <gpowers> in mine, i UNCHECKEd "System Setting" and CHECKED "Connect Automatically" and then entered IP and DNS in net man.
[19:56] <ikonia> scientes_: virtual is fine
[19:56] <slack_baphomet> like postfix or is there something easier
[19:57] <NoiseEee> qmail is pretty great
[19:57] <ikonia> scientes_: postfix/exim/sendmail, your call
[19:57] <gpowers> sendmail != easy
[19:57] <nnull> anyone know how big the ubuntu dvd is?
[19:57] <srizz> ﻿ikonia: cool
[19:57] <slack_baphomet> nothign qt based please
[19:57] <MarcN> Java plugin on Intrepid?  Most google queries find old stuff.
[19:57] <ikonia> gpowers: depends
[19:57] <Slart> D4rkN30mx: hmm.. try this then... open a terminal.. then run "aplay /dev/urandom" it will make a noise.. quite loud if the volume is high
[19:57] <slack_baphomet> ikonia, thanks mate
[19:57] <scientes_> do i need to set broadcast for ipv6?
[19:57] <NoiseEee> hey, i was wondering why i consistently get a 3-4 second pause after submitting my login, and before being prompted for my password, when SSH'ing to my Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition
[19:57] <gpowers> i know, but I've been doing it for a decade...
[19:57] <pim> What program would you reccomend from knitting a couple of videos together in one file?
[19:57] <gpowers> (sendmail, that is...)
[19:57] <ikonia> scientes_: not if your putting ipv4 on that card
[19:58] <gpowers> i still won't call it easy
[19:58] <D4rkN30mx> Slart:  o.k
[19:58] <scientes_> i was going to do eth:2
[19:58] <aho_> where does network manager store the settings it uses ?  I have an e220 that works out of the box on ubuntu and I'm trying to use the same settings on a fedora box
[19:58] <ikonia> scientes_: then set it if you want
[19:58] <scientes_> i mean eth0:2
[19:58] <scientes_> but what to?
[19:58] <ice_cream> are people repeating questions, or am i seeing things
[19:58] <ikonia> scientes_: your broadcase address
[19:58] <scientes_> but ipv6
[19:58] <ikonia> ice_cream: some people are, yes
[19:58] <sweetgum1> can someone tell me where i can find emacs after ive installed it from the package manager
[19:59] <ikonia> scientes_: yup
[19:59] <ice_cream> k
[19:59] <ikonia> sweetgum1: /usr/bin
[19:59] <sweetgum1> ikonia : Thanks
[19:59] <scientes_> im saying ti dont knwo how broadcast addresses work in ipv6, should i give the ipv4 one?
[19:59] <MarcN> sweetgum1: from the command line,   emacs
[19:59] <ikonia> scientes_: ahhh I see
[19:59] <don> how do I get root access from console please
[19:59] <Pici> !sudo | don
[19:59] <Slart> pim: avidemux might be able to do that
[19:59] <D4rkN30mx> Slart:  tell me this, aborted for the signal interruption
[19:59] <ikonia> scientes_: as I understand it, should be the same but with a slightly different format, #networking may know better
[19:59] <don> sudo won't do what I want it to, need to log on as su
[20:00] <rlt> sweetgum1: if you installed the GUI version, I vaguely remember there being some weird flaw with the icons you're supposed to get. Right click the gnome-main-menu and hit Edit Menus, go to the Accessories folder, then uncheck then check the emacs entries there.
[20:00] <ikonia> don: what are you trying to do
[20:00] <don> add a path
[20:00] <don> when I try to sudo export PATH
[20:00] <don> it tells me export is not a valid command
[20:00] <RatTub> Is there a way to remove KDE from ubuntu and only keep the command-line interface?
[20:00] <Slart> D4rkN30mx: it doesn't say anything like "playingr raw data '/dev/urandom' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono" ?
[20:00] <ikonia> don: why do you need to change the path ?
[20:00] <ice_cream> sweetgum1, in soviet russia, emacs finds you!
[20:00] <Pici> don: export isn't a command, its a shell built-in
[20:01] <D4rkN30mx> Slart:  well yes is the first thing that say me
[20:01] <ikonia> don: you should change your own path and tell sudo to keep your own shell PATH
[20:01] <don> ikonia because I want to use a differen java install than what it was installed
[20:01] <Slart> D4rkN30mx: ah.. and when you press ctrl+c it gives you that other message.... but no noise?
[20:01] <ikonia> don: update /etc/alternatives
[20:01] <don> if I run the command I'm running from my normal user path it works
[20:01] <D4rkN30mx> Slart:  yes is correct
[20:01] <don> if I try to run the ant as sudo it won't run cause it's looking at the wrong java jre
[20:01] <don> ikonia update command not found
[20:02] <ikonia> don: either tell sudo to keep your local shell environment, or use the full path with the sudo command
[20:02] <ikonia> don: update isn't a command, I was telling you to update that file
[20:02] <Slart> D4rkN30mx: can you pastebin the output of "aplay -L", and "cat /proc/asound/cards"?
[20:02] <slack_baphomet> chicken of the VNC is good
[20:02] <slack_baphomet> :)
[20:02] <don> how do I update that file?
[20:02] <don> AND I want the path change to be global, for everyone all thet ime
[20:02] <ikonia> don: update-alternatives or with a text editor
[20:03] <ikonia> don that is a global change
[20:03] <Pici> don: Either by sudo update-alternatives --config java   or my modifying the symlinks mangually
[20:03] <Pici> manually, rather.
[20:03] <don> when I ran that config java
[20:03] <don> it doesn't even show the one I just downloaded and extrac5ed in the list
[20:03] <DeVnOrE> anyone got the atheros cards working as a AP in 8.10 (mine just keeps freezing on me)?
[20:04] <paul68> ikonia: when i resize the partition next to the linux partition is there a way that I can resize the linux partition afterwards so that I have a 2 partitions of about 70 gig
[20:04] <axisys> how do I force a user to change his password at login? (in solaris passwd -f username)
[20:05] <ikonia> don you have to set it up
[20:05] <don> ikonia how do I do that then?  I could set the path as root if I could log in as rudo
[20:05] <Pici> don: Read the update-alternatives manpage
[20:05] <ice_cream> hmm, what do i do in this case, if i allotted very little space in /boot and i want to upgrade?   http://pastie.org/private/usaxr8zsi8anzb9ijdw
[20:05] <rlt> axisys: passwd -e username
[20:05] <axisys> rlt: thnx
[20:05] <ikonia> dobn stop going on about setting the path as root, that won't be global
[20:05] <rlt> axisys: (the e is for Expire)
[20:06] <ikonia> don: you've been give the correct way to do it globally
[20:06] <axisys> rlt: thank u
[20:06] <ikonia> paul68: gparted is your friend
[20:07] <don> I understand you all are trying to help, but why are people so against someone getting root access to thier own machine...if I goof it up, it's my problem to fix.  It's a lil frustrating.
[20:07] <rww> don: setting the path as root won't set it for all users, it'll just set it for the root user
[20:07] <rww> don: but hey, you asked: issue sudo -i
[20:07] <DeVnOrE> anyone got the atheros cards working as a AP in 8.10 (mine just keeps freezing on me)?
[20:07] <rww> don: the i stands for Interactive
[20:07] <ice_cream> ikonia, was that to me
[20:07] <don> I understand that and I'm workin on setting it up globally.  I'm just wondering wy people are so against teaching someone how to gain root access to thier own machine.
[20:08] <ice_cream> ikonia, the  <ikonia> paul68: gparted is your friend
[20:08] <Pici> don: You're the only one who mentioned something about that.
[20:08] <ice_cream> nvm
[20:08] <rww> don: the mindset here is that 99% of the time that people come in here asking how to get root access, they actually need something else
[20:09] <axisys> I noticed when I visudo it uses pico.. i can play with EDITOR variable.. but how do I make it default?
[20:09] <don> ahh
[20:09] <barefoot> update-alternatives
[20:09] <don> I do appriciate the help getting the path set globally
[20:09] <pim> Slart, thanks it worked.
[20:09] <zibri> axisys: update-alternatives --config editor
[20:09] <don> I was just wondering why every time I've seen someone ask that's what they are told
[20:09] <Pici> axisys: Either set it systemwide by doing: sudo update-alternatives --config editor   or per-user by putting it in your .profile
[20:09] <ice_cream> axisys, make what editor default?
[20:09] <Stalker72> My speakers, Bose Companion 5, have integrated sound card in the subwoofer. If I buy a sound card for Sennheiser HD 650 headphones, will it be a problem to switch between those two?
[20:09] <axisys> barefoot, zibri thnx
[20:09] <Slart> pim: you're welcome
[20:10] <axisys> ice_cream: vim
[20:10] <ice_cream> axisys, like adding   "export EDITOR=vim"   to your ~/.bashrc ?
[20:10] <axisys> Pici: i want system wide.. thnx
[20:10] <axisys> ice_cream: no i like system wide
[20:10] <paul68> ikonia:  dumb question but going to ask it anyway is  does it harm when I unmount the linux partition to resize it or is it advisable to avoid this
[20:10] <ice_cream> ah k
[20:10] <barefoot> i installed blender, it gives me two options in the menu, fullscreen and windowed, both are actually full screen, anyone know where to edit these settings (not much of a gui person)
[20:10] <Pici> don: You'll need to look into using update-alternatives to add a new entry for java.  This would be the proper way to set it system wide, while allowing you to change to something else at another point int time.
[20:10] <Slart> paul68: unmounting a partition doesn't hurt it in any way.. you can't unmount the system partition while using it, of course
[20:11] <DeVnOrE> ubottu atheros
[20:11] <axisys> /usr/bin/vim.tiny this is option one.. how do I change it to vim ?
[20:11] <novva> has anyone here had problems creating a ubuntu usb startup memory stick ... it seems to create it without errors, but when i try to but from it i just get "GRUB" written on the screen and nothing more
[20:11] <don> Pici I appriciate that, I'm reading now how to get it to recognize the one I just installed
[20:11] <novva> but=boot
[20:11] <paul68> Slart: how do I resize it then?
[20:12] <rww> novva: did you format it before following the steps? I had to do that last time I made one, for some reason.
[20:12] <Slart> paul68: boot from a live cd
[20:12] <VerdugoJones> Can someone help me reinstall x.org 7.4? I have no GUI and not internet. I do have the live cd and am able to access the recovery mode root shell
[20:12] <novva> rww: yes i formatted it
[20:12] <paul68> Slart: and run gparted then
[20:12] <Slart> paul68: exactly
[20:12] <k0rnz> 5803
[20:12] <paul68> Slart: ok thanks
[20:13] <lianimator> does anyone know about oracle XE? I can't install.. it needs at least 1 GB swap space.. why?
[20:13] <Krumar> hey, can anyone tell me how well Openoffice 3 is running on ubuntu 8.10, i've been looking online, but no articles are newer than october, and some are warning of bugs
[20:13] <Pici> axisys: vim.tiny is just a smaller version of vim, if you install the vim-full package vim will gain those features.
[20:14] <dr_willis> axisys,  i also edit the /etc/vim/vimrc file to enable extra vim features - many are turned off by default
[20:14] <novva> rww: what format did you use vfat or ext
[20:14] <axisys> dr_willis: can u share .. i like to be able to use it to edit codes..
[20:15] <Slart> Krumar: not good enough for them to include it in the repos afaik
[20:15] <rww> Krumar: It won't be in the official supported repos until !Jaunty. It'll probably be in !backports sometime before then. It was in a PPA repository, but that repo is currently down due to bugginess. Unless you need the new features of OO.org3, I'd recommend waiting.
[20:15] <rww> novva: vfat, I think
[20:15] <novva> i wonder if that is the problem
[20:15] <novva> i'll try vfat
[20:15] <dnyy> Would running a LAMP setup, but only using it to test personal stuff, hog much memory?
[20:15] <dr_willis> axisys,  read the vimrc config file and the vim docs -  theres dozens of options that are turned off to make vim  be  'more like vi'   such as colors and mouse support, and otehr  things
[20:15] <hagisbasheruk> hi dr_willis :)
[20:16] <Krumar> Slart, and rww, thanks for the input, i've got no pressing need for it yet, just curious to see it in action
[20:16] <zeno_> whats the command line to restart networking in 8.10? when i lose wireless conn i cannot reconnect to it or any other network but if i log out it connects every time.
[20:16] <axisys> dr_willis: lazy me :-)
[20:16] <Slart> dnyy: depends a bit on what kind of stuff you intend to test.. but the basic apps won't use a lot of memory
[20:16] <rww> Krumar: you're not the only one; I'm thinking of grabbing it when the PPA comes back up :)
[20:16] <rww> zeno_: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[20:16] <rww> zeno_: I think that's what you want, anyway.
[20:17] <don> what's the command to rename a directory please
[20:17] <Pavlz> i would to do a dvd with differents distributions
[20:17] <ikonia> don: mv
[20:17] <ikonia> don: or use the gui
[20:17] <ikonia> don: the gui is easier
[20:17] <Slart> dnyy: I run lamp and some more stuff on a via mini-itx board with 512 MB memory.. it currently only uses about 100 MB for just running
[20:17] <Pavlz> then how the computer does to know whic must to boot ?
[20:17] <don> easier yes, but I"m trying to learn
[20:17] <Krumar> rww, thanks again
[20:17] <Krumar> peace
[20:17] <Pavlz> which must to boot ?
[20:17] <dnyy> Slart: Mainly small things like sweetcron, and maybe wordpress.  The only person seeing it will be me.  I guess my main question is, if nobody is going to it and it's just there ideling, will it take much memory?
[20:17] <rww> Krumar: You're welcome :)
[20:17] <zeno> rww: doesnt work
[20:18] <Slart> dnyy: nah.. I don't think so
[20:18] <zeno> that worked in 8.04 i think
[20:18] <zeno> but new network thingy
[20:18] <uman> Hi. Is it normal for there to be constant internet traffic (according to firestarter firewall) in my ubuntu box about 10 KB/s? I have all applications closed but there is always some traffic according to firestarter. i use a usb cable modem thanks
[20:18] <zeno> unclecking enable networking and rechecking doesnt help either
[20:18] <dnyy> Slart: Ah, alirght then.  I just did another fresh install, and want to keep it running as fast as I can. I too only have 512MB ram. :<
[20:18] <Slart> dnyy: you can shut down the gui if you're not using it.. that saves quite a bit of memory
[20:19] <dnyy> Slart: I didn't know there was a GUI? :x
[20:19] <Slart> dnyy: ah.. you're running it on a ubuntu server install?
[20:19] <Pavlz> i would to do a dvd with different distributions, how the computer says which must to boot ?
[20:19] <dnyy> Slart: Ubuntu desktop, but installing apache/mysql/etc manually
[20:19] <Slart> dnyy: I just use the regular desktop ubuntu.. so I shut down gnome when I don't use it
[20:20] <phlax> hi - is seem to have lost sound after an intrepid update - sound appears to work but nothing comes out of the computer - i know that the hardware works - are there any known problems?
[20:20] <uman> Hi. Is it normal for there to be constant internet traffic (according to firestarter firewall) in my ubuntu box about 10 KB/s? I have all applications closed but there is always some traffic according to firestarter. i use a usb cable modem thanks
[20:20] <dnyy> Slart: Aah, I gotcha, I thought you meant a GUI for a LAMP setup :p
[20:20] <xman360> Hi everybody, does anyone have SPDIF in working on a SB Audigy?
[20:20] <ikonia> playya: they use lilo normally, but this isn't an ubuntu question/support issue
[20:20] <Slart> dnyy: ah.. nah.. I meant gnome and X
[20:20] <Pavlz> i would to do a dvd with different distributions, how the computer says which must to boot ?
[20:20] <DasEI> phlax:alsamixer installed ?
[20:20] <dnyy> Slart: Does ctrl+alt+f1 "shut down" gnome, or just disable it until you bring it back? ;o
[20:20] <ikonia> playya: sorry that was for Pavlz
[20:21] <ikonia> Pavlz: normally lilo is used but thats not an ubuntu support issue
[20:21] <phlax> DasEI: all sound appears to work in mixers etc - just nothing coming out
[20:21] <Slart> dnyy: I usually access it using ssh so I just run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[20:21] <DasEI> phlax:alsamixer installed ?
[20:21] <erUSUL> uman: not normal but i do not use firestarter so...
[20:21] <Juhaz> dnyy, neither, it's just not visible for the moment, but not disabled in any way, much less shut down.
[20:21] <phlax> DasEI: yes alsamixers is installed
[20:21] <dnyy> Juhaz: ah, well does it save memory at all while doing it?
[20:21] <Slart> dnyy: ah.. ctrl+alt+f1 just "hides" it.. it's still running
[20:22] <Juhaz> no
[20:22] <DasEI> phlax:card displayed correctly in the upper right corner of gui ?
[20:22] <Pavlz> ctrl+alt+f1 right ?
[20:22] <ikonia> Pavlz: what ?
[20:22] <dnyy> Slant: Well this is my only computer, so I can't disable gnome too often. :/
[20:22] <Slart> dnyy: if you're worrying about memory footprint you might want to take a look at xubuntu.. it's a bit leaner
[20:22] <Pavlz> to choose which distributions to boot from a dvd where there are different ones ?
[20:23] <lianimator> how do I increase swap space?
[20:23] <DasEI> phlax:icons above sliders green (unmuted) and sliders rised up (also pcm)?
[20:23] <dnyy> Slart: I'll look into it, then.  I can barely run songbird and firefox without my laptop wanting to crash.
[20:23] <ikonia> Pavlz: I've told you what to do, and I've told you this is not an ubuntu support issue
[20:23] <zeno> whats the command line to restart networking in 8.10? when i lose wireless conn i cannot reconnect to it or any other network but if i log out it connects every time.  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart doesnt fix.
[20:23] <phlax> DasEI: gnome-alsamixer is not installed but the default volume control has everything unmuted
[20:23] <ikonia> zeno: that is the command line
[20:23] <Slart> zeno: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[20:23] <ikonia> zeno: iwconfig may help you diagnose wirless issues
[20:23] <phlax> DasEI: and sliders up etc
[20:23] <Pavlz> it means that you don't know it
[20:24] <jeremiah_> After a recent upgrade, I lost X Windows - I am getting no output to the screen
[20:24] <Pici> Pavlz: It means your question is offtopic for this channel.
[20:24] <jeremiah_> I am using Intrepid.
[20:24] <Slart> Pavlz: try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic.. this channel is for ubuntu related questions only
[20:24] <ikonia> Pavlz: I've told you, it's normally done with lilo as it works better on cd's but this isn ot an ubuntu isue, and that means I do know, but it's not an ubuntu issue
[20:24] <jeremiah_> And wonder if anyone has any pointers.
[20:24] <dietwater> Anyone here want to help me with excel?
[20:24] <Pici> Pavlz: ##linux would probably be a better place to ask actually.
[20:24] <jeremiah_> I have tried to start X via the command line and tried to start gdm, both failed.
[20:25] <DasEI> phlax:sudo apt-get install alsamixergui                   ,then run it and look again
[20:25] <Pici> dietwater: try ##windows
[20:25] <dietwater> kk.
[20:25] <Slart> dietwater: excel? in wine? or windowS?
[20:25] <dietwater> But it runs in openoffice too =)
[20:25] <Slart> dietwater: excel doesn't "run in openoffice".. not in any way or form
[20:25] <dietwater> Just openoffice calc
[20:25] <dietwater> It opens office docs.
[20:25] <jeremiah_> Slart: You can open .xls files in open office
[20:25] <dietwater> And edits and saves as them.
[20:25] <dietwater> It's basically office in every way.
[20:26] <Pici> dietwater: Can you rephrase the question then? I thought you were asking about Microsoft Excel
[20:26] <Slart> dietwater: openoffice can open excel files.. yes.. but that's not even almost the same as "excel runs in openoffice"
[20:26] <jeremiah_> dietwater: You may want to ask in an OpenOffice specific channel.
[20:26] <dietwater> Well, technically its not.
[20:26] <phlax> DasEI: alsamixergui doesnt like compiz
[20:26] <drmacsoft> hi
[20:26] <dietwater> It's a formula question, very detailed.  I can't be perfectly proper.
[20:26] <Slart> dietwater: try asking it..
[20:26] <Pici> dietwater: Also try #openoffice.org  :)
[20:27] <lxuser_> hello everyone, does anyone know how to do "remote desktop over internet" ?
[20:27] <dietwater> k
[20:27] <DasEI> phlax:new to me, what happens ?
[20:27] <phlax> DasEI: alsamixergui is set to pulse - master is up and unmuted
[20:27] <jeremiah_> lxuser_: Check out tightVNC
[20:27] <Slart> lxuser_: there are many ways.. vnc is one popular way
[20:27] <Slart> !remote
[20:27] <DasEI> phlax:I prefer alsa, anyway, which sound card ?
[20:27] <Slart> !vnc
[20:27] <meoblast001> what should i set march to in gcc to build it for amd64?
[20:27] <jeremiah_> meoblast001: Did you do man gcc?
[20:28] <phlax> DasEI: nVidia Corporation MCP51 AC97
[20:28] <meoblast001> jeremiah_, looked online
[20:28] <lxuser_> thanks a lot! will take a look.
[20:28] <DasEI> phlax:that should run fine with alsa
[20:28] <phlax> phlax: its been fine till a recent update
[20:29] <DasEI> phlax:ibex ?
[20:29] <phlax> DasEI: 8)
[20:29] <phlax> DasEI: its as if hardware fault - but i tested a boot disk and sound is fine
[20:29] <DasEI> phlax: 8.04 or 8.10 ?
[20:30] <phlax> DasEI: 8.1 with intrepid-*
[20:30] <dave__> is yahoo.com working for anyone else?
[20:30] <ikonia> !offtopic | dave__
[20:30] <Sublime> huhu
[20:30] <CocaCola> n'evening :)
[20:30] <sproingie> i'm stumped.  trying to install ubuntu 8.10 on a thinkpad T61, and it doesn't even get past the boot menu
[20:30] <dave__> just my default channel sorry, quick question
[20:30] <Slart> dave__: works here
[20:30] <dave__> wtf
[20:31] <sproingie> i select the language, and select the first menu option, then the CD never spins back up
[20:31] <stabbim> i can also get to Yahoo
[20:31] <Sublime> xD
[20:31] <dave__> got 3 computers on the network  can't get to yahoo
[20:31] <CocaCola> sproingie - got the same :D
[20:31] <DasEI> phlax: so ibex, look up system > preferences > sound, had nvidia found there ?
[20:31] <Slart> dave__: might be a local dns issue.. or some routing problem
[20:31] <DasEI> *hda
[20:31] <sproingie> i've heard of display problems on the thinkpads with second displays, but this is pretty low level, not spinning up the CD
[20:31] <Jack_Sparrow> dave__ Obfuscated swearing is still swearing. we dont accept it of our users.. Please keep the room family friendly
[20:31] <stabbim> yeah, see if you can ping www.yahoo.com
[20:31] <dave__> ok this is work
[20:31] <Rev_Willie_Crow> I was just getting ready to ask if anyone get to yahoo
[20:32] <sproingie> CocaCola: glad to know i'm not the only one
[20:32] <dave__> my 3rd computer (the windows computer) came up with yahoo right away
[20:32] <sproingie> CocaCola: yours isn't also connected to a docking station while you're installing it, is it?
[20:32] <sproingie> i wonder if that could be interfering.  don't really want to undock at the moment to try
[20:32] <dave__> nevermind it was cached
[20:32] <Rev_Willie_Crow> I tried to ping them and got nothing
[20:32] <phlax> DasEI: its a snd_intel8x0 and appears an Intel ICH
[20:32] <CocaCola> well it's my workmachine, never tried to kick ubuntu on it :D
[20:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Rev_Willie_Crow it works here too
[20:33] <sproingie> also my work machine, and i'm going to be relegating windows to vmware, only if i can manage to get ubuntu installing on it
[20:33] <dibblego> I have a machine with 4 hard disks and on each boot they are assigned different devices; how can I make it so that it is always the same device when mounted?
[20:33] <Rev_Willie_Crow> i am in virginia
[20:33] <CocaCola> okay...
[20:34] <Jack_Sparrow> dibblego you are sharing ide and sata drives.. google it for a lot of info
[20:34] <Jeffrey_> dibblego: i dont get it your qeustion
[20:34] <Jack_Sparrow> dibblego mixing ide and sata rather
[20:35] <dibblego> Jack_Sparrow, I think they are all IDE
[20:35] <Jeffrey_> you must know
[20:35] <Pici> dibblego: You can use your disk uuids in your fstab to assign each disk to a mountpoint instead of relying on the device names
[20:35] <Jack_Sparrow> dibblego drives switching numbers is common for mixed drive systems
[20:35] <Jeffrey_> they are 2 different things
[20:35] <Jack_Sparrow> dibblego sudo fdisk -l
[20:36] <Maveas> Kan man lave mellemrum i brugernavn til htpasswd filer?
[20:36] <Jeffrey_> ???
[20:36] <Pici> !dk | Maveas
[20:36] <dibblego> Jack_Sparrow, http://rafb.net/p/NHiGFb79.html

[20:37] <Maveas> Oh, sorry, I'm already on the danish channel but didn't see I typed in the wrong one
[20:37] <snikker> how can i check the cpu fan speed?
[20:37] <Jeffrey_> not
[20:37] <Maveas> Pici: how did you know it was danish? :D
[20:37] <Jeffrey_> Yeah with one program
[20:38] <Pici> Maveas: because you were in other -dk channels :)
[20:38] <lianimator> how can I make more swap space without partitioning?
[20:38] <phlax> DasEI: I have tried pulse/various alsa/oss and none actually output audio - i can test it out on some other identical machines tomorrow to work out if it is driver or config error - thanx for help
[20:38] <Maveas> Pici: wow, you a good, haha :D
[20:38] <zbyszek> hi i have a problem with aetheros based pci wifi card
[20:38] <zbyszek> can you help me?
[20:39] <Slart> lianimator: not sure you can.. unless you can somehow make a "swap file" like in windows..
[20:39] <DasEI> phlax: I'm quite sure alsa should work, one solution could be reconfigure by dpkg, next remove pulse or recompile alsa
[20:40] <Rev_Willie_Crow> i just can not believe that yahoo is down
[20:40] <lianimator> Slart: how about this: dd if=/dev/zero of=swap.dat bs=1024k count=512
[20:40] <zbyszek> phlax http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=962695 TRY THIS
[20:40] <lianimator> Slart: then: mkswap that file
[20:40] <jeremiah_> What should the permissions on .Xauthority be?
[20:40] <phlax> DasEI: i have already purged and reinstalled with no change
[20:41] <Slart> lianimator: might work.. I'm not a swap expert though.. here's a link to another howto I found http://www.linux.com/feature/113956
[20:41] <dr_willis> lianimator,  there are guides on how to make a swap 'file' in linux. its not too hard to do..  google for 'swap howto linux' or similer.
[20:41] <stabbim> Rev_Willie_Crow,  what IP address do you get from putting this in at a terminal: "host www.yahoo.com"
[20:41] <stabbim> should be in format X.X.X.X
[20:42] <Slart> lianimator: here's another one.. this one is for ubuntu, http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/07/how-to-add-linux-swap-file-if-you-dont-have-swap-partition.html
[20:43] <lianimator> Slart: dr_willis: thanks
[20:43] <zbyszek> hi i have a problem with aetheros based pci wifi card. i have ath_pci module loaded, but there is no ath0 on interfaces list... can you help me?
[20:43] <geolr> Hi all, I was pleased to see an update für 8.10 amd64 for the smbclient et al. But still I cannot reach my NAS device (Packard Bell Netstore). Any ideas how to track that issue down via any log files?
[20:45] <lianimator> Slart: dr_willis: in one howto, count=524288 for 512 MB. in another count=512 for 500 MB.... ?
[20:45] <grendal_prime> I need something that will screenshot the entire x session.  Anyone know of something that does that.  I have wink it works for building some presentations, but i want something that will grab all the compiz effects as well.
[20:45] <Slart> lianimator: with the same bs?
[20:45] <grendal_prime> i need to put it into flash as well..anyone know of something that does that?
[20:45] <dimedo> hey, is there a cool log viewer around, which does syntax highlighting, tail like behavior, access to both current and gz archived logs, jump to dates, ...
[20:45] <Bowel> When update-grub is run, my /boot/grub/menu.lst looks fine. But when I boot, it's different. My /boot is a separate partition. Any ideas?
[20:45] <fa2s> hello everybody!
[20:46] <lianimator> Slart: ohh, I didn't see the tiny 'k' at first. thanks.
[20:46] <Slart> lianimator: =)
[20:46] <martyd> Bowel, you probably have a /boot on each partition and you're seeing one, then the other?
[20:46] <fa2s> i have a partition where i put my /home, if i reinstall the system, will i save my configurations?
[20:47] <mker> fa2s, yes. as long as you don't format that partition too of course :)
[20:47] <martyd> fa2s, yes. most configuration settings are stored in /home
[20:47] <lianimator> Slart: my /home partition is full. where do you recommend to create in / ?
[20:47] <fa2s> ok, and my prograns?
[20:47] <martyd> fa2s, those are probably on your system partition
[20:48] <martyd> in /etc/*
[20:48]  * jgoguen is away: Working hard at considering the small details of whatever I'm working on
[20:48] <Bowel> martyd: Feels like that, but I don't understand how I can examine the situation. Can I list /boot in my root partition without unmounting /boot?
[20:48] <mker> fa2s, nope, just the settings. you can make a list of your programs and do "sudo aptitude install program1 program2 program3" and so on. Probably works with apt-get too if that's what you use. Fast way of getting all your favorite programs back
[20:48] <martyd> Bowel, what do you mean 'list'?
[20:49] <DasEI> phlax: what a machine are you running ?
[20:49] <fa2s> nice
[20:49] <Bowel> martyd: I'd like to know if I have another menu.lst in my root-partition before /boot is mounted
[20:49] <JECHO> hey guys whats going on
[20:50] <fa2s> is there a way to save the hole system as it is actually and reinstall it ?
[20:50] <JECHO> yes create a ghost image
[20:50] <JECHO> burn it to a disk and reinstall
[20:50] <Maveas> How do I get ls to show hidden files?
[20:50] <JECHO> or you can use reconstructor and make your own distro
[20:50] <fa2s> how do i do that?
[20:50] <gnutron> Maveas: ls -la
[20:50] <JECHO> ls -a
[20:50] <Maveas> gnutron: thanks
[20:51] <martyd> Bowel, i guess you could boot to a live cd, then look at your partitions that way
[20:51] <JECHO> downloads reconstructor from synaptic
[20:51] <martyd> Bowel, is that wahat you meant?
[20:51] <gnutron> Maveas: welcome, JECHO thx.
[20:51] <trll7> hi, 0131 couldnt install ubuntu on my sata hard drive it didnt see the hard drive, but on other pc it is ok
[20:51] <trll7> 0131 have gigabyte-s m55-s3 and
[20:51] <fa2s> all rights, gays, i will take a look at this!
[20:51] <fa2s> thanks!
[20:51] <Bowel> martyd: Sounds fair, yes. Just thought there would be another way. It's an lvm partition so it'd take a while.
[20:52] <trll7> 0131 couldn find any options in bios menu to change sata as ide
[20:52] <JECHO> fa2s i would recoomend using reconstructor... its very easy
[20:52] <fa2s> JECHO: ok! thanks!
[20:52] <Bowel> martyd: I'm going to experiment some with grub, feels like it's booting from wrong partition in some way. Not good.
[20:52] <JECHO> tyep
[20:53] <Sierradump> Is CPUZ available for linux???  Or is there an application I can install to get the processor Model# ?
[20:53] <Pici> Sierradump: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[20:53] <martyd> install sysinfo
[20:53] <JECHO> device manager
[20:53] <martyd> Bowel, whats LVM?>
[20:53] <JECHO> or sys info, yes.
[20:53] <phlax> DasEI: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+
[20:54] <Bowel> martyd: logical volume, useful if you eg want to group a bunch of disks into one partition.
[20:54] <Sierradump> sorry for my ignorence - but how do I do "Cat /proc/cpuinfo"  or device manager or "Sys info" ????  (im new to linux)
[20:54] <Pici> Sierradump: open a terminal, and type: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[20:55] <Slart> !terminal | Sierradump
[20:55] <Cteel> What is a server X? i try to install the newest driver for my graph card and it says that i'm running a X server
[20:55] <martyd> Bowel, like RAID striping?
[20:55] <Cteel>  You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before
[20:55] <Cteel>          installing.  For further details, please see the section INSTALLING
[20:55] <Cteel>          THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver
[20:55] <Cteel>          download page at www.nvidia.com.
[20:55] <FloodBot3> Cteel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:55] <JECHO> open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install sysinfo
[20:55] <magnetron> Sierradump→ make sure to use small letters
[20:55] <Slart> !X
[20:55] <JECHO> cteel Xserver is the gui
[20:55] <Slart> Cteel: basically.. you can't install a new graphics driver while gnome is running
[20:56] <Cteel> oooOh
[20:56] <mikeh789> I have a gnome question
[20:56] <martyd> Cteel, get the program called EnvyNG
[20:56] <Sierradump> hmm - that told me some good information - but I am looking for the serial #.  I have the AMD TL-60 and I am trying to figure out if it is the 31TDP or 35TDP version...
[20:56] <Slart> !envyng
[20:56] <martyd> it will install nvidia driver for you
[20:56] <Sierradump> Anyway to see that information?
[20:56] <huayra> mikeh789, what is it?
[20:56] <Cteel> EnvuNG
[20:56] <Bowel> martyd: It's quite similar, yes.
[20:57] <lianimator> how do I make my mounted partition not appear as volumes? aka just plain folders, hidden from My Computer.
[20:57] <Slart> lianimator: don't mount them in /media/
[20:57] <JECHO> Serriadump: try sudo apt-get install device-manager
[20:57] <lianimator> Slart: they are mounted in ~/Pictures and ~/Music
[20:57] <Slart> lianimator: at least I think that will work..
[20:58] <Slart> lianimator: ah.. hmm.. then I don't really know.. nautilus is almost hardcoded when it comes to drives and such it seems..
[20:58] <elpapacita> hhola
[20:59] <lianimator> Slart: used to be the way I wanted... but not in Ibex anymore
[20:59] <Sierradump> Building dependency tree
[20:59] <Sierradump> Reading state information... Done
[20:59] <Sierradump> E: Couldn't find package device-manage
[20:59] <Brucee> how do i shut down a program like limewire? seems it crash on ubuntu
[20:59] <Sierradump> ?
[20:59] <DasEI> phlax: sorry for being laggi; it won't take long to rebuild alsa (from now about 20 min) I'd have to boot to another OS, want to do it ?
[20:59] <paranoid_ndroid> Brucee, pkill limewire
[20:59] <Sierradump> *device-manager
[20:59] <JECHO> sierradump: add an "r" to device manage
[20:59] <JECHO> lol
[21:00] <huy> I installed nvidia driver via envyng. it fixed my resolution problem. but then the screen rendering is very horrible. is there anyway to fix it?
[21:00] <JECHO> hang on, let me see what its called.
[21:00] <Sierradump> Jecho:  I did I just skipped that letter when I copied/pasted?  Says couldn't find package - Do I need to add some repositories?
[21:00] <martyd> huy, you have fuzzy screen?
[21:00] <Slart> lianimator: mm.. I've lost hope about being able to configure nautilus.. sorry
[21:01] <martyd> how can you configure nautilus?
[21:01] <lianimator> Slart: I'm going to try KDE one day... one day
[21:01] <JECHO> Sierradump: no. it was my mistake... the proper command to run is sudo apt-get install gnome-device-manager
[21:01] <Slart> lianimator: hehe.. that would be one reason to switch.. indeed
[21:01] <JECHO> sorry about that
[21:02] <JECHO> LIMEWIRE DOESNT WORK WELL ON IBEX... USE FROSTWIRE
[21:02] <magnetron> !caps | JECHO
[21:02]  * DasEI reboots to a more productive system ( phlax )
[21:02] <Slart> !p2p
[21:03] <JECHO> haha oops, i had capslock on
[21:03] <huy> martyd: i don't have fuzzy screen. but everything takes forever to load. and when i move a window, only the frame appears, everything in the window took forever to render
[21:03] <ali3nwar3> is java stable on ubuntu?
[21:03] <JECHO> yes
[21:03] <rootsnatch> ali3nwar3: yep
[21:03] <ali3nwar3> thanks
[21:04] <zeurdo> bonsoir tlm
[21:04] <pantsman> how can I use syntax highlighting in the vim distributed with ubuntu?
[21:05] <rootsnatch> pantsman: you need to install vim-full, ubuntu comes with vim-tiny which as far as I know does not support syntax highlighint
[21:05] <Sierradump> umm stupid question but where is the best place to download .tar files for unpacking and installing?
[21:05] <pantsman> rootsnatch, should I remove/purge vim-tiny first?
[21:05] <n8tuser> Sierradump-> /tmp
[21:06] <Sierradump> OHH and how do you browse the directory structure in terminal?  Is it just  "cd "foldername" ?
[21:06] <ManDay> Is this the ubuntu channel?
[21:06] <Slart> Sierradump:yes
[21:06] <ManDay> All right I need your help!
[21:06] <rootsnatch> pantsman: i think install vim-full removes vim-tiny for you
[21:06] <Sierradump> n8tuser / slart :  thanks!
[21:06] <ManDay> What groups does have a user in ubuntu to belong to in order to play sound?!?
[21:06] <Slart> Sierradump: I have a temporary folder in my home folder for that
[21:06] <Sierradump> chad@Linux-Laptop:~$ cd /temp
[21:06] <Sierradump> bash: cd: /temp: No such file or directory
[21:06] <Sierradump> hmm am I doing something wrong?
[21:07] <JECHO> cd /tmp
[21:07] <JECHO> no E
[21:07] <Sierradump> ahhh thank you Jecho!
[21:07] <JECHO> :)
[21:07] <Sierradump> i seem to be missing the simple things!
[21:07] <JECHO> haha did device manager work for you?
[21:07] <ManDay> What groups does have a user in ubuntu to belong to in order to play sound?!?
[21:07] <gnutron> Sierradump: 'mc' midnight commander is a curses terminal file manager, not many people like but it works in terminal.
[21:07] <rootsnatch> ManDay: it should be able to do it by default but I think the audio group
[21:08] <pantsman> rootsnatch, thanks!
[21:08] <genii> ManDay: audio and possibly plugdev if it's a removeable device
[21:08] <ManDay> ok, www-data is member of both STILL i cant play sound!
[21:09] <dwhsix> a little unclear: to install on a Intel Core 2 Duo system, should I use the 64-bit or 32-bit install?
[21:09] <Jack_Sparrow> dwhsix 32 bit
[21:09] <Sierradump> what is the command to be permanent root?
[21:09] <Sierradump> sudo root -
[21:09] <Sierradump> ?
[21:09] <kek> sudo -u root sh
[21:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Sierradump Bad idea..
[21:09] <slicslak> ManDay, why are you logging in as www-data?  that's the user for apache
[21:10] <gnutron> dwhsix: uname -m in a  terminal, if it say x86_64 go with amd64 version, even on intel systems
[21:10] <enzotib> Sierradump, su -, or sudo su -, depending on the distribution
[21:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !root > Sierradump
[21:10] <dwhsix> Jack_Sparrow: even though it's a 64-bit processor?  (the install instrux do seem to imply there might be incompatibilities)
[21:10] <Zongo> bonsoir
[21:10] <DasEi> phlax: want to try ?
[21:10] <ManDay> slicslak, i know.
[21:10] <Jack_Sparrow> dwhsix 32 will work fine on 64 bit and is recommended for newer users in particular
[21:10] <Balian> #ubuntu.pl
[21:10] <Maveas> Wow, I've got pwned by gparted.
[21:11] <Sierradump> well I am trying to browse into this folder but it says it doesn't exist- but it does? I can see it in filemanager (gui)
[21:11] <Sierradump> chad@Linux-Laptop:~$ cd /tmp
[21:11] <Sierradump> chad@Linux-Laptop:/tmp$ cd /perlmon
[21:11] <Sierradump> bash: cd: /perlmon: No such file or directory
[21:11] <FloodBot3> Sierradump: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:11] <kek> What packages would I typically install to get the same autodetection of accelerated graphics as the installer disc manages to do?
[21:11] <genii> Balian: /j #ubuntu-pl
[21:11] <dwhsix> Jack_Sparrow: I'm experienced... am I just giving up larger max mem size?
[21:11] <Sierradump> So I tried this and it didn't work?
[21:11] <Sierradump> chad@Linux-Laptop:/tmp$ sudo cd /perlmon
[21:11] <Sierradump> sudo: cd: command not found
[21:11] <Maveas> Tried to shrink a vista partion but when I did a reboot I got a "disk error" message
[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> dwhsix pretty much.. yes..
[21:11] <Slart> Sierradump: Perlmon isn't the same as perlmon.. linux is case sensitive
[21:11] <Maveas> What can I do to restore the partion so Vista will boot? :S
[21:11] <Sierradump> ahhh
[21:12] <Slart> Sierradump: and you don't have to do "sudo cd", just cd will do
[21:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Maveas do yo uhave ubuntu on that drive?
[21:12] <dwhsix> Jack_Sparrow: k thanks... anyone know how many issues 64bit has vs. 32?
[21:12] <Maveas> Jack_Sparrow: No, vista
[21:12] <Sierradump> slart:  this is driving me crazy!!!  I know the folder is there I just created it!!!
[21:12] <Sierradump> chad@Linux-Laptop:/tmp$ ls
[21:12] <Sierradump> keyring-mdmOsE  perlmon     seahorse-ftCmcD    virtual-chad.3gqcM6
[21:12] <Sierradump> orbit-chad      pulse-chad  Tracker-chad.5960
[21:12] <Jack_Sparrow> dwhsix mostly drivers and such..
[21:12] <Sorcererbob> dwhsix: fourteen.
[21:12] <FloodBot3> Sierradump: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:12] <dwhsix> Maveas: yikes just did same thing in prepping for ubuntu install... better try to reboot
[21:12] <Maveas> Do I have to do some data recovery and then start from scratch with vista and ubuntu?
[21:12] <Sierradump> *sorry.
[21:12] <Slart> dwhsix: not a lot.. flash is one.. weird proprietary electronic id things are another
[21:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Sierradump Please read the topic and stop floding
[21:13] <enzotib> Sierradump, cd perlmon, without /
[21:13] <dwhsix> hmm, ok
[21:13] <dwhsix> given that I'm doing this on pretty new HW (Dell Studio 15 laptop) maybe I'll stick w/ 32bit
[21:13] <Slart> Sierradump: ah.. /perlmon would mean that it's on the root.. you want just cd perlmon
[21:13] <Sierradump> ahhh... So how do you know if you need a "/" or not?
[21:13] <Maveas> dwhsix: but reboot doesn't work? so what do you mean by "better try to reboot"?
[21:13] <dwhsix> Maveas: haven't tried yet -- your msg worried me though
[21:13] <Sierradump> like to get into the /tmp folder I need it but to get into a folder inside /tmp I don't need it ?
[21:13] <Slart> Sierradump: /folder would be directly on the root..
[21:13] <dwhsix> let me try now and see
[21:13] <Sierradump> OHHHHH
[21:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Sierradump subtle difference eh
[21:14] <Maveas> dwhsix: oh, haha, don't reboot :D
[21:14] <Sierradump> I see... Okay a little confusing but I think I got it now... So if a folder exists on the root of drive I need a / in front of it?  like /bin /tmp etc... but for folder inside I don't use the / ?
[21:14] <dwhsix> Maveas: too late :-( let's see what happens
[21:14] <Maveas> ok
[21:14] <Slart> Sierradump: correct
[21:14] <Maveas> let me know
[21:14] <Sierradump> Slart:  thanks!
[21:14] <dwhsix> will do
[21:14] <Slart> Sierradump: / is like c:\ in windows.. if that makes it easier to understand
[21:15] <Jeffrey_> haahha
[21:15] <Jeffrey_> that is funny]
[21:15] <LoveGuru> Is there any VMware for Ubuntu
[21:15] <dwhsix> Maveas: came up fine
[21:15] <Jeffrey_> ooh sorry wrong channel
[21:15] <Jeffrey_> yeah
[21:16] <dwhsix> LoveGuru: yes
[21:16] <Jeffrey_> cmwar eworkstation 6.5
[21:16] <Maveas> dwhsix: really?
[21:16] <Maveas> damm
[21:16] <dwhsix> Maveas: so far so good
[21:16] <dwhsix> (darn, vista is ugly)
[21:16] <LoveGuru> dwhsix: which one is it?
[21:17] <dwhsix> LoveGuru: hang on a sec

[21:17] <rlt> Hola everyone. I'm currently running intrepid, but there's a couple of packages from jaunty universe that I'd like to use (specifically, boinc-manager and its deps). I know that this isn't a Good Idea, but don't know the potential problems that might result; anyone feel like educating me?
[21:17] <Jack_Sparrow> rlt yes.. dont do it
[21:18] <Maveas> dwhsix: well, lucky you :)
[21:18] <hackintosh411> Hey guys.
[21:18] <dwhsix> works pretty well for me... other than bringing my old ubuntu machine to a crawl
[21:18] <dwhsix> (vmware that is)
[21:18] <enzotib> rlt, why don't you feel good with the ones in intrepid repos?
[21:19] <Slart> rlt: dependencies would be the most obvious one.. ie you'll end up installing almost everything from jaunty because boinc-manager needs some system lib that needs something else  etc etc
[21:19] <Maveas> Guys, I need a supreme good data recovery tool? :)
[21:19] <Sierradump> slart:  totally... Thanks - I got it now!!!
[21:19]  * dwhsix goes off to make a bootable ubuntu usb
[21:19] <hackintosh411> Do you guys all have 8.10?
[21:20] <Jack_Sparrow> hackintosh411 no
[21:20] <Maveas> not all of us?
[21:20] <Jack_Sparrow> hackintosh411 this box is still hardy or maybe gutsy
[21:20] <rlt> enzotib: the version of BOINC included in intrepid-release is a prerelease developer version. The version in jaunty-release is an actual released version. That's what I gather from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc , anyway.
[21:20] <rlt> enzotib: well, that page and the fact that boinc-manager in intrepid has "(Pre-release)" plastered all over it.
[21:21] <hackintosh411> Jack_Sparrow: Gusty made me cry. It ruined my laptop then I went back to vista and then switched back to 8.10
[21:21] <Jack_Sparrow> rlt Strongly suggest you dont do it.. I suppose you have a tersted working backup of your system?
[21:21] <Maveas> No one who knows about a good data recovery tool?
[21:21] <Maveas> bootable?
[21:21] <CaptainMorgan> can anyone recommend a decent(compatible) video capture card for their Ubuntu system?
[21:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > Maveas
[21:21] <rlt> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, I do. I usually wouldn't even consider it, but the dependency map for boinc is relatively simple (just a couple of wxwidgets packages that iirc nothing else needs)
[21:21] <crummygummy_> Hiya, anyone got those Asus wireless access points working yet?
[21:22] <hackintosh411> Anyone know of a Free Virtual machine program for 8.10?
[21:22] <rlt> Jack_Sparrow: was just wondering if there was something other than dependency hell I should be concerned about
[21:22] <Sorcererbob> hackintosh411: does Virtualbox not work?
[21:22] <Jack_Sparrow> rlt the dependencies and future upgrades updates will ruin your life
[21:22] <hackintosh411> virtual box is good but I need something free.
[21:22] <nemo> why does the ubuntulooks theme engine require uninstalling human?
[21:23] <jimmygoon> virtual box is free... free....
[21:23] <hackintosh411> Is it?
[21:23] <drguildo> how do i get to the options for that dialog that pops up when i insert a cd/dvd/etc?
[21:23] <crummygummy_> hackintosh411: Name one that isn't free.
[21:23] <hackintosh411> VmWare fusion
[21:23] <drguildo> i can't find it anywhere but i'm sure i've seen it before
[21:23] <nemo> hackintosh411: depends. do you want free as in source or free as in beer
[21:23] <crummygummy_> even vmware workstation is free these days.
[21:23] <nemo> hackintosh411: vbox is free as in beer
[21:23] <rlt> crummygummy_: the non-free version of vbox :P
[21:23] <nemo> all of it
[21:23] <hackintosh411> nemo: thanks.
[21:23] <diffred> ubuntuforums down? :(
[21:23] <fredbloggs12> hello, have i come to the right place for some help with ubuntu?
[21:24] <Slart> fredbloggs12: yes
[21:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask > fredbloggs12
[21:24] <crummygummy_> Ja, I new I'd sort of get proved wrong but most vm apps have at least a free version.
[21:24] <nemo> hackintosh411: only issue is if you plan to have multiple people using it at once. that's where licensing comes in. apart from that, they don't care.  that's why the vRDP is restricted to one person
[21:24] <rlt> hackintosh411: both versions of virtualbox are free as in beer. the OSE version is free as in speech, too, or so I heard.
[21:24] <kek> is there a pointy clicky way to switch to another x server driver?
[21:24] <nemo> hackintosh411: but hell. windows restricts real rdp to one person too :)
[21:24] <nemo> rlt: ah yes. free as in *speech* my bad :)
[21:24] <dumitru> please help me
[21:24] <Slart> kek: that would be either the restricted drivers manager.. or envy-ng
[21:24] <Slart> !helpme | dumitru
[21:25] <dumitru> someone know how to change kde fonts in ubuntu 8.10?
[21:25] <Veinor> isn't envy-ng not recommended?
[21:25] <gavimobile> is mac built off of linux
[21:25] <Slart> !envy-ng | Veinor
[21:25] <rlt> gavimobile: no
[21:25] <gavimobile> rlt, is it built off of unix?
[21:25] <Slart> gavimobile: not really.. they have some common ancestors iirc
[21:25] <dumitru> there is no kcontrol in ubuntu 8.10
[21:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Veinor envy off the web .. no   envy-ng from our repo is better
[21:25] <Slart> !envyng
[21:25] <drguildo> how do i get to the options for that dialog that pops up when i insert a cd/dvd/etc?
[21:25] <rlt> gavimobile: it's complicated. the simple answer is "yes"
[21:25] <gavimobile> rlt, thanks
[21:26] <kek> Slart: is envyng included on the ubuntu install disc? because the graphics worked fine there
[21:26] <Veinor> gavimobile: linux and BSD are both derived from unix, and mac os x is derived from BSD
[21:26] <kek> Slart: 8.10
[21:26] <fredbloggs12> ok, well i just downloaded the desktop cd iso, made the disk, tried it in demo from the disk, all was ok, came to install along side windows (in windows) and it tells me at 99.9% that it cant read the cd, any ideas? the cd check says the disk is fine
[21:26] <rohan> if i am experiencing a bug in gnome 2.24 on both fedora and gnome, is it fair to say that the bug is an upstream bug? if so, where should i file it? in redhat/ubuntu bug trackers, or gnome, or all?
[21:26] <Slart> kek: I don't think so.. but the restricted drivers manager is
[21:26] <Veinor> so they're certainly more related than either of them are to windows say
[21:26] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 Is this a dell by chance?
[21:26] <fredbloggs12> no toshiba
[21:26] <kek> Slart: the install interfaces uses nonfree drivers?
[21:26] <fredbloggs12> laptop
[21:26] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[21:26] <Slart> Veinor: yes.. kind of like apes and humans... common ancestors..
[21:27] <fredbloggs12> i get the error could not access the cd, please make sure other spps are not using it and try again
[21:27] <Slart> kek: no, I doubt that..but the 2d drivers work pretty well.. not sure if it uses vesa
[21:27] <Veinor> i wonder if windows is related to *nix
[21:27] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 Are you trying to install using wubi or one of the virtual options?
[21:28] <enzotib> Veinor, windows is more related to vms
[21:28] <fredbloggs12> no, the icon on the menu when the disk starts up
[21:28] <sachael> transmission opens folders in thunar, what must i do to make it open in rox?
[21:28] <kek> Slart: so how do i get that same setup as i had when i started up with the installation disc?
[21:28] <Veinor> enzotib: how so
[21:29] <Sorcererbob> kek: boot from the setup disk again
[21:29] <dumitru> is there a tool that replaces kcontrol on Ubuntu 8.10?
[21:29] <kebomix_> how to install AVG guys ? on ubuntu 8.04 32-bit
[21:29] <Slart> kek: have you installed another driver?
[21:29] <Terabyte> hey, ubuntu seems to detect my mulitple displays but won't let me have one continuous display... just 1 clone of the other. any ideas?
[21:29] <kek> Sorcererbob: doh thanks
[21:29] <rlt> Jack_Sparrow: hmm. Turns out that that intrepid package I wanted ended up in hardy-backports somehow (but not intrepid-backports o.O), so I'm just gonna file a request that it get backported.
[21:29] <kebomix_> where to get it
[21:29] <Slart> kebomix_: AVG?
[21:29] <Veinor> Terabyte: what graphics card do you have?
[21:29] <rlt> jaunty package **
[21:29] <Jack_Sparrow> rlt better choice..
[21:29] <Terabyte> Veinor: nvidia 8800gts
[21:30] <Veinor> open up nvidia-settings as root
[21:30] <kebomix_> Slart: yes avg to delete windows viruses from linux :D
[21:30] <fredbloggs12> Jack_Sparrow any ides?
[21:30] <kebomix_> Slart: it is for windows not for Linux
[21:30] <Terabyte> Veinor: i'm not using any special drivers.. so will i have such settigns?
[21:30] <kek> Slart: i might have a long time ago, i used to be messing around with x server configurations and video drivers for days, and now i upgraded to 8.10 and saw that it was automatically configured in a good way on the setup disc so i was thinking maybe they fixed it somehow so it works automatically
[21:30] <Veinor> Terabyte: are you using the nvidia restricted drivers or the open ones?
[21:30] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 Your answer was not clear to me...  Do you have a windows install on that same computer
[21:30] <Veinor> cause i dunno if the open ones will support it
[21:30] <Slart> kebomix_: you want the linux version of AVG?
[21:31] <Terabyte> Veinor:  open ones
[21:31] <kebomix_> Slart: yeah
[21:31] <Veinor> oh; well you're not gonna have nvidia-settings i don't think
[21:31] <Veinor> try it anyway, what the heck
[21:31] <Slart> kebomix_: why not try... the AVG site perhaps?
[21:31] <fredbloggs12> Jack_Sparrow yes i have xp on also, im new to linux and this looked a good starting point as i want to dual boot
[21:31] <CelticLord> nuit!!
[21:31] <Veinor> just run nvidia-settings as root
[21:31] <Terabyte> Veinor: i can never get mine to boot if i use the restricted ones.. least i have to redownload and recompile everytime i log in in order to get it to work
[21:31] <Terabyte> ok
[21:31] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 were you in windows when you inserted the ubuntu disk.
[21:31] <Veinor> did it work?
[21:31] <kebomix_> Slart: im lost with their website
[21:32] <enzotib> Veinor, the project leader of Windows NT is the same of VMS, also WNT are the three letters following VMS in the alphabet
[21:32] <ali3nwar3> good bye all
[21:32] <fredbloggs12> Jack_Sparrow yes in windows, using the menu on the sutostart of the cd
[21:32] <Terabyte> veinor; nope command not found
[21:32] <Veinor> oh :/
[21:32] <Terabyte> it's ok i'll live, would have been nice though
[21:32] <Veinor> hmm
[21:32] <Guest91468> hello.. My graphic workstation went down KDE4 doesnt work.. :C I tried to install Ati drivers the new ones in the ati.com page 8.11 and now it doesnt work.. I need help please
[21:33] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 then that is the wubi test drive and not a real partition install, sorry, I cant/wont help with that.. see the wubi factoid to follow..
[21:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !wubi
[21:33] <Veinor> Terabyte: i might be able to just give you stuff to put in your xorg.conf
[21:33] <rlt> Jack_Sparrow: oh hey, even easier, someone already filed a request for backporting :D
[21:33] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 I take issue where it says it is safe...
[21:33] <Veinor> what does yours look like right now, put it in a pastebin
[21:33] <Terabyte> heh
[21:33] <Terabyte> ok
[21:34] <Veinor> cause i think for my purposes (dual monitoring) nvidia-settings is just a xorg.conf editor
[21:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !dualhead
[21:34] <fredbloggs12> Jack_Sparrow thanks for that, i guess i now know what a wubi could be ;/
[21:34] <merula> Veinor: you'd be right. ^_^
[21:34] <Slart> kek: well.. it should be almost automatic.. not sure how to go back to the default driver thingy though..
[21:34] <Slart> kek: perhaps someone else knows of a clever way
[21:34] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 You will love ubuntu... I simply cannot recommend wubi and sleep at night
[21:35] <Terabyte> veinor: http://codepad.org/M8KKoreX
[21:35] <kek> Slart: i will probably try with uninstalling all X packages and installing them again
[21:35] <Veinor> hmm
[21:35] <fredbloggs12> Jack_Sparrow i have seen ubuntu running on a mac, im just not ready to make the full jump into linux yet, is there another way i can install ubuntu?
[21:36] <Veinor> did you tro going into system->preferences->screen resolution and clicking "detect displays"?
[21:36] <Terabyte> fredbloggs12 have you tried a virtual machine?
[21:36] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 boot the livecd (not from windows) and let it install to your hard drive
[21:36] <tkstka> hello.. My graphic workstation went down KDE4 doesnt work.. :C I tried to install Ati drivers the new ones in the ati.com page 8.11 and now it doesnt work.. I need help please I'm now using textbase operating system so if someone could guide me
[21:36] <Terabyte> Veinor: yes
[21:36] <kek> Slart: because now it just says "right, you need to run low graphics mode" when I start X
[21:36] <fredbloggs12> Terabyte no i havent whats a v-machine?
[21:37] <fredbloggs12> Jack_Sparrow if i do that will it over write my windows or install aswell as?
[21:37] <dnyy> Anyone else getting "502 Proxy Error" on ubuntuforums?
[21:37] <Terabyte> fredbloggs12 i can't remember the one i use on windows... but you can get a virtual machine from sun systems for free which will let you install ubuntu, and let you run it on your window box at the same time
[21:37] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 it is designed to setup dual boot as needed..   If you run the live cd you can test drive without ever installng
[21:37] <E4emacs4> Virtualbox
[21:37] <spikebike> hey can someome verify a firefox bug with a particular URL?  It makes the browser explode to 1.2GB with what is mostly just a text file
[21:37] <Slart> kek: mm.. that safe-graphics-mode thingy.. I've never been on good terms with that one..
[21:37] <Veinor> Terabyte: try apt-get installing nvidia-settings anyway
[21:37] <katatsumuri> Hello there :-) I was wondering if there's a way to change what audio channel gets "controlled" by i.e keyboard shorcuts? Right now, my mute button mutes Master, but I have to mute PCM in order to mute the computer..
[21:37] <Terabyte> fredbloggs12: Virtualbox yes
[21:37] <Slart> spikebike: sure.. url?
[21:37] <spikebike> ohttp://www.archive.org/stream/titlelistofdocum024685mbp/titlelistofdocum024685mbp_djvu.txt
[21:38] <spikebike> er no o
[21:38] <Veinor> it doesn't look like it explicitly depends on the restricted drivers
[21:38] <fredbloggs12> Jack_Sparrow i have already run it from cd, looks good but seems slow, so needed it on hdd
[21:38] <Terabyte> Veinor: is there any risk that it will break when i do that?
[21:38] <spikebike> I'm on intrepid
[21:38] <merula> I'm having an issue rsyncing from windows to an ubuntu server that has a shared mounted NAS (ntfs). Anybody wanna tackle that problem?
[21:38] <Veinor> backup xorg.conf
[21:38] <spikebike> view source shows nothing suspicious
[21:38] <fredbloggs12> Terabyte ok thanks ill have a look into that
[21:38] <kek> Slart: i don't care about 3d and proprietary drivers etc, i just want to have a little acceleration so i can try out the flashy effects and Beryl etc
[21:38] <spikebike> it's mostly just a big <pre> block
[21:38] <iztehsux> if my webcam works with applications like cheese, how come it doesn't work with flash based apps?
[21:38] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 yep, shrink your windows install by 20or 30 gig and let ubuntu install on the hd
[21:38] <Slart> kek: hehe.. flashy effects and beryl *is* about 3d.. =)
[21:39] <fredbloggs12> Jack_Sparrow lol 20 or 30gig? only got 40gb hdd
[21:39] <Terabyte> Veinor: ok, i'll be back tommorow, it was really just a quick question, i have to get back to work ^_^
[21:39] <Veinor> ah, k
[21:39] <spikebike> and by big I mean 10-15 screens worth, not big as in it should expand firefox by a GB
[21:39] <Terabyte> Veinor: thanks for the help
[21:39] <SpArtAko> s
[21:39] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 ah,, and running vista with lots of music and video files right?  :)
[21:39] <Veinor> no problem; i'll see you tomorrow then
[21:39] <kek> Slart: ok :) well i'm booted into the install disc now and there are a lot of effects that i don't get in my installed system so obviously the computer supports something and i have the wrong driver.
[21:39] <mphill> spikebike: I'm up to 680 MB of ram
[21:39] <Slart> spikebike: hmm.. yes.. firefox is slowly dying.. doesn't look like anything special to me.. weird
[21:39] <cdg52> hi all, sorry to ask this was but i am not sure what to do here, can someone help me? I need to fix my nvidia driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-177/+bug/287470/comments/9
[21:39] <mphill> spikebike: 921 MB
[21:40] <spikebike> heh
[21:40] <Slart> spikebike: have you tried in safe mode? without plugins and such
[21:40] <spikebike> could you two say me to when I file the bug?
[21:40] <mphill> spikebike: 1GB
[21:40] <fredbloggs12> Jack_Sparrow no still on xp, music and vids are off, do i need a new partiton to install from bootup?
[21:40] <mphill> spikebike: thats a good find, are you going to report it?
[21:40] <spikebike> the HTML looks very pedestrian
[21:40] <spikebike> yeah I'll file it now
[21:40] <kek> Slart: glxinfo says i have direct rendering
[21:41] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 UBuntu will suggest a size to shrink your windows install and makes you verify that before continuiong
[21:41] <lunaphyte_> hi :)
[21:41] <Slart> spikebike: mine is still transferring.. oh.. now it finished.. and firefox is back again
[21:41] <fredbloggs12> Jack_Sparrow and then creates a new partition?
[21:41] <spikebike> mine hits 1.2GB or so then flattens... really strange
[21:41] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 the installer does all of that
[21:42] <fredbloggs12> Jack_Sparrow yes i understand that, but i end up with another partiton?
[21:42] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 two.. one is swap
[21:42] <fredbloggs12> right
[21:42] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[21:42] <hajar> h‎i .. can any one help me .. my copmuter show black screen instead of hibernate and not return until i sutdown it

[21:50] <mphill> NewtuUbuntu: did you try to: killall -9 wine; killall -9 wineserver
[21:50] <gavimobile> ive closed firefox completely and reopened
[21:51] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 San Diego CA
[21:51] <nat2610> gavimobile, do ps aux | grep firefox and double check that there is no process of firefox running
[21:51] <NewtuUbuntu> mphill I ended the processes, and even restarted my computer, but nothing seems to be helping
[21:51] <cpro> Veinor, never mind, do you know al place wher to get information ?
[21:51] <NewtuUbuntu> is it possible that downloading the restricted codecs would effect that?
[21:51] <gavimobile> nat2610, i ran the code and nothing displayed in terminal

[21:52] <gavimobile> ff is closed
[21:52] <fredbloggs12> Jack_Sparrow im in the uk, do we have thrift shops?
[21:52] <mphill> NewtuUbuntu: open a terminal. Type cd .wine/drive_c/ and go to the directory where the WoW .exe file and and run 'wine [name of the the executable]'. you might get some feedback on what is dying
[21:52] <gavimobile> and flash is installed... why isnt it wokrking

[21:52] <gavimobile> maybe ill just install ff for windows in wine....
[21:52] <Veinor> no problem
[21:53] <gavimobile> this is a temp installation of ubuntu just to recover a ntfs partition
[21:53] <nat2610> gavimobile, good luck with that ..
[21:53] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 I did thrift shops uk and came up with lots everywhere

[21:53] <fredbloggs12> Jack_Sparrow right new one on me
[21:53] <kek> So, where is it specified which X display driver to use? The /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't mention any driver at all at the moment.
[21:54] <Jack_Sparrow> You call them charity shops

[21:54] <stephen_> Hi, I am trying to help a friend put a pci modem on his machine and am looking for something that is well wupported in the stock 2.6.27-9 kernel.  Any suggestions?
[21:54] <Jack_Sparrow> fredbloggs12 Thin ice and I hear it cracking
[21:54] <gavimobile> all this touble because of flash
[21:55] <gavimobile> lol
[21:55] <spikebike> Slart: ack my bug?
[21:55] <Jack_Sparrow> stephen_ make sure you get a real modem and not a winmodem
[21:55] <gavimobile> what about epiphany?
[21:55] <nat2610> gavimobile, there is no need to restart linux except when you update the kernel ... you must be able to watch your video without rebooting
[21:55] <stephen_> Jack_Sparrow: any particular brands that have in-kernel drivers?
[21:56] <DeeJai> whats that program that installs or lets you try ubuntu?
[21:56] <Jack_Sparrow> stephen_ real hardware modems have never had real issues with linux just those el cheapo win soft modems
[21:56] <NewtuUbuntu> mphill I'm having trouble finding the path to the WOW executable
[21:56] <gavimobile> nat2610, im up for suggestions
[21:56] <nat2610> gavimobile, install opera ... maybe
[21:56] <Jack_Sparrow> stephen_ True hardware modems will not need drivers
[21:56] <gavimobile> nat2610, could u give me some other suggestions related to ff?
[21:56] <mphill> NewtuUbuntu: most likely in the Program Files directory but I am not sure.
[21:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !wubi > DeeJai
[21:56] <E4emacs4> Restarting is pretty much a Windows concept, you really don't have to restart linux, just restart the X instead, that usually clears up any issues
[21:56] <gavimobile> is reinstalling helpless?
[21:57] <nat2610> gavimobile, what's the name of your flash package?
[21:57] <NewtuUbuntu> mphill it is in the program files directory, but i can't CD in there for some reason
[21:57] <stephen_> Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks- he has an intel 537 in the machine right now and I assume it is a winmodem/.
[21:57] <gavimobile> nat2610, just a sec
[21:57] <Jack_Sparrow> stephen_ if it helps most of the external modems are real hardware modems
[21:57] <spikebike> mphill: ack my bug?
[21:57] <Jack_Sparrow> stephen_ that is correct
[21:58] <gavimobile> synaptic is taking time to load
[21:58] <mworth> It seems I have managed to mangle aptitude/synaptic's repositories/dependancies by trying to use the medibuntu repository. I've just upgraded to 8.04 and my kaffeine and amarok have lost their restricted codecsw. It can't install libxine1-ffmpeg as it depends on libxine1-bin 1.1.11.1-1ubuntu3 but it keeps upgrading it to the ubuntu3.1 version (which doesn't satisfy the dependancy)
[21:58] <gavimobile> cause of my disk
[21:58] <Zehava> How do I change permissions for a directory please?
[21:58] <mphill> spikebike: yes
[21:58] <gavimobile> nat2610, its along the lines of flash-non-free
[21:58] <gavimobile> do u need me to be more detailed?
[21:58] <spikebike> mphill: at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/304942?
[21:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Zehava What directory are you trying to change
[21:58] <mphill> spikebike: I already did
[21:58] <Zehava> one I created
[21:58] <nat2610> gavimobile, you just need to rerun the command I told you before with the | grep firefox
[21:58] <gavimobile> Zehava, chmod
[21:58] <spikebike> mphill: sweet
[21:58] <spikebike> mphill: thanks
[21:58] <Zehava> I crated it with sudo and so now it's root permissions
[21:58] <nat2610> actually | grep flash
[21:58] <Zehava> I need to enable my normal user to use it
[21:58] <gavimobile> Zehava,  chmod  directory -R
[21:59] <gavimobile> Zehava,  chmod  777 directory -R
[21:59] <Zehava> that will open the directory and all sub's to my normal user?
[21:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Zehava First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and type cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition  (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify t
[21:59] <Jack_Sparrow> he permissions are set
[21:59] <gavimobile> nat2610, i tried the code u pasted before
[21:59] <nat2610> gavimobile, do a dkpg-reconfigure of the package ...
[21:59] <NewtuUbuntu> mphill ok, I got the launcher to load, which has never been a problem, but if I click "Play" will it still give me feedback in the terminal? because this second step is the one that usually fails
[21:59] <gavimobile> sudo dkpg-reconfigure package-name ???
[21:59] <gavimobile> like that
[21:59] <mphill> yes, just look at the teriminal window for details
[22:00] <nat2610> gavimobile, yes ... like sudo dkpg-reconfigure flash-nonfree or something like that
[22:00] <Zehava> ls -la still shows the directory as root permissions
[22:00] <nat2610> gavimobile,  sudo dkpg-reconfigure  flash-non-free
[22:00] <peaces> in parted: mkpartfs primary ext3 0 END...how do i know what to put in END to mean the end of the drive? i want a single partition taking up all available space.
[22:00] <Zehava> I need to change the permissions of it to my user
[22:00] <hejdixon> Hi all! I have a question. Is it normal to have lots of users in /etc/passwd ? I mean what does users like 'libuuid' and 'klog' do?
[22:00] <stephen_> thanks
[22:00] <LoveGuru> I m using Ubuntu-Server. is there any software which one i can make iso?
[22:01] <Dracie> LoveGuru:  CLI or GUI?
[22:01] <LoveGuru> Dracie: CLI
[22:01] <Jack_Sparrow> LoveGuru ISO of what?  your existing system?
[22:01] <alper> hi guys I am having problems with wifi (b43). I can't get any scan results, it's a fresh 8.10
[22:01] <mphill> LoveGuru: mkisofs
[22:01] <Hermanon> where can i download ubuntu dvd please?
[22:01] <LoveGuru> Jack_Sparrow: i do have backup of some files. i want to make iso.
[22:01] <gregord> dumitru: what sort of issue are you having with kde fonts?
[22:01] <nat2610> Hermanon, there is no ubuntu on dvd ...
[22:02] <nat2610> Hermanon, but it's only 1 CD
[22:02] <LoveGuru> mphill: where i can get that app "mkisofs" it is in repo?
[22:02] <dumitru> gregord: the font's are burry
[22:02] <gregord> screenshot?
[22:02] <Jack_Sparrow> LoveGuru easy way, burn what you want to a cd and make iso of it when done
[22:02] <NewtuUbuntu> mphill can i message you with the errors?
[22:02] <NewtuUbuntu> I'm pretty sure people don't want me to post terminal rambling in here
[22:02] <mphill> NewtuUbuntu: sure
[22:02] <LoveGuru> Jack_Sparrow: i want to make iso. not to burn it.
[22:02] <nemo> why does gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks want to uninstall human?
[22:03] <nemo> what's the correlation?
[22:03] <Hermanon> nat2610:i downloaded gutsy dvd once!!
[22:03] <Jack_Sparrow> LoveGuru Understood, but creating cd is a bit easier then making iso of it is no brainer
[22:03] <Linuxnoob100> Hello, is it okay to mount two hard drives to / ?
[22:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Linuxnoob100 no
[22:03] <Linuxnoob100> okay thanks
[22:03] <dumitru> gregor: how to send it to u?
[22:04] <dumitru> gregord: how to send it to u?
[22:04] <gregord> dumitru: use imagevenue.com
[22:04] <Linuxnoob100> if you had a 60 gb one and a 120 gb one which one would you mount to / and what would you call the other one? /home?
[22:04] <nat2610> Hermanon, why do you want a dvd while you can have 1 CD ... anyway most of the packages have to be downloaded from internet to get the latest versions
[22:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Linuxnoob100 I would / the 60 and /home the other
[22:04] <LoveGuru> Jack_Sparrow: allright thx
[22:04] <Linuxnoob100> thanks jack you da man
[22:04] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[22:05] <Linuxnoob100> should i set them both to primary?
[22:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Linuxnoob100 are they ide on sep controllers?
[22:05] <Hermanon> nat2610:am using dialup:)
[22:06] <Linuxnoob100> they are seperate scsi drives like two different boxes in my server
[22:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Linuxnoob100 it shouldnt matter..
[22:07] <Linuxnoob100> okay so it wont matter if they are logical or primary?
[22:07] <gregord> dumitru: link? I need to see the fonts to help you

[22:08] <dumitru> gregord: uploading now...
[22:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Linuxnoob100 it could in some situations, but if they are now woking together, try and install to the 60 and set /home to the 120
[22:08] <dumitru> gregord: in later version of ubuntu I usualy solved this with kcontrol
[22:08] <tankpunk> hi all
[22:09] <Linuxnoob100> okay i have set them both to primary drives and the os will install to the 60 and the /home will be on the 120... sound good?
[22:09] <Jack_Sparrow> yep
[22:09] <Linuxnoob100> thanks
[22:09] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[22:10] <Linuxnoob100> what should i do about swap space though?
[22:10] <dumitru> gregord: http://img135.imageshack.us/my.php?image=blurryhb6.png

[22:11] <dumitru> gregord: some ideas how to fix the fonts?
[22:11] <roger_> kubuntu didn't have any icons on the desktop, how i add in the trash can there
[22:11] <melnik> mphill: thanks
[22:11] <omc> I need some help with the ubuntu disc
[22:11] <Dracie> roger_ KDE 3.5 or 4?
[22:12] <Linuxnoob100> is it okay if i do my swap on my /home drive?
[22:12] <willis__> roger_,  you can add icons to the kubuntu kde4 desktop.. but they are trying to get away from a cluttered desktop encviroment
[22:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Linuxnoob100 yes
[22:12] <aeolien> IDENT
[22:12] <roger_> i don't use kde4, kde 3.5 is what i used
[22:12] <hajar> hi... does any one think that the unsuitable graphical card is the reason for no hibernate?
[22:12] <ikonia> hajar: ati cards can effect it
[22:12] <Pietro_> ello
[22:12] <willis__> roger_,  theres settings for tha also.. but i perfer the trashcan in the panel..  I dont recall how to get it on the desktop.
[22:13] <Jack_Sparrow> hajar the drivers for the card are the issue in MANY instances
[22:13] <aeolien> Is there any way to disable right-clicking on the panels and desktop?
[22:13] <Linuxnoob100> is it okay if i set my swap to 2.9 instead of 1.4?
[22:13] <aeolien> Or, entirely?
[22:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Linuxnoob100 yes
[22:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Linuxnoob100 anything over 2
[22:13] <gregord> dumitru: kcontrol not on your machine?
[22:14] <willis__> aeolien,  there used to be some kiosk tools that could set up some limitations like that.. but ive never used them..  Not sure why you woudl want to :)
[22:14] <aeolien> willis__: I'm setting up a computer for my grandfather.
[22:14] <dumitru> gregord: i've just upgraded on ubuntu 8.10
[22:14] <linkslice> aeolien, you sure he wouldn't prefer an old cadillac?
[22:14] <n2diy> I used to use a program called Debug, to low level format hard drives with DOS, is there a similar tool for linux?
[22:14] <dumitru> gregord: trying to get it : sudo apt-get install kcontrol
[22:15] <Jack_Sparrow> n2diy you dont low level format these days
[22:15] <aeolien> linkslice: Do you have one for free I could use? :P
[22:15] <Jack_Sparrow> n2diy gparted is common for partitioning anf formatting
[22:15] <dumitru> gregord: E: Package kcontrol has no installation candidate
[22:15] <willis__> aeolien,  depends on what all you want to do  with the system I guess.. I dont see hwo disabling the right click helps much.  theres even web-koisk packages you can get that just turn the pc into a web-box
[22:15] <dumitru> gregord: Package kcontrol is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[22:15] <dumitru> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[22:15] <dumitru> is only available from another source
[22:15] <dumitru> However the following packages replace it:
[22:15] <dumitru>   kdebase-workspace-bin kdelibs4c2a
[22:15] <FloodBot3> dumitru: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:16] <dumitru> gregord: what that mean?
[22:16] <Linuxnoob100> for the hard drive to start at boot up, i should leave bootable flag at off right?
[22:16] <dumitru> gregord: no more kcontrol on ubuntu 8.10?
[22:16] <aeolien> willis__: I'm just giving him an AWN dock set up with Firefox and Thunderbird.
[22:16] <n2diy> Jack_Sparrow: ok, will gpartd deal with hidden partitions? That's why I liked the Debug utility.
[22:17] <gregord> dumitru: I guess not, although those fonts look fine to me
[22:17] <willis__> aeolien,  i find AWN rather buggy. You may be better off with a normal gnome panel, or  just 2 icons on the desktop.
[22:17] <willis__> aeolien,  of course if the system is toing to be that limited.. you may want to use some other desktop/window manager.  like JWM or similer.
[22:17] <Baltazar> можно ли в deluge переименовать загружаемый файл?
[22:17] <jason^> is there a way to make dpkg reinstall the default configuration file?
[22:18] <slayton> !ru | Baltazar
[22:18] <Baltazar> sorry
[22:18] <Jack_Sparrow> n2diy most mfg have recommended staying away from the old debug and offer up a tool of their own
[22:18] <dumitru> gregord: do u know smth that could replace kcontrol?
[22:18] <dumitru> gregord: how to change the kde fonts?
[22:18] <n2diy> Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks
[22:18] <Jack_Sparrow> n2diy see also hirenscd
[22:19] <gregord> dumitru: try asking in #kubuntu or #kde. I am not up on the latest kde4 stuff
[22:19] <aeolien> willis__: I've thought of using a simpler system, but I think I'm going to stick with what I know.
[22:19] <aeolien> willis__: That way I can fix it if I need to.
[22:19] <dumitru> gregord: ok, thanks a lot
[22:20] <Hermanon> can i use my 3g Nokia 6233 mobile as a modem on ubuntu ?
[22:22] <luinfana> hello
[22:22] <linuxmain> hi
[22:23] <balrog_> i have been having install issues since attempting to install ndoutils-nagios-mysql, right after dbconfig tries to flush the administrative password.  anybody know how i can manually force dpkg to remove all traces of it?
[22:23] <gavimobile> nat2610, for some reason there is a problem with ubuntu connecting to the adobe server.. i found a form on the ubuntu website which told me to download the deb file directly from the adobe website... im checking now to see if it works
[22:23] <hajar> ikonia.. yes my card is ATI .. the hibernate is not work how to solve this?
[22:23] <luinfana> Could someone by any chance walk me through upgrading to the 2.6.27-10 kernel from the proposed repository?
[22:23] <gavimobile> this is what i found http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-adobe-flash-player-10-in-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html
[22:24] <dwhsix> if I'm creating new partition on existing drive (that has vista) to install ubuntu on, should it be "Primary" or "Logical"?
[22:24] <luinfana> I want to upgrade just the kernel, not everything else...
[22:24] <Jack_Sparrow> luinfana Please be sure you need something in proposed... before going to that trouble
[22:24] <Jack_Sparrow> dwhsix It can be either.
[22:24] <Entropy51423> Hi all, I have a problem or a question rather with Emerald. I changed the window theme to a different theme, but now wish to restore it back to Ubuntu's default theme, but can not seem to figure out how. Does anyone know how?
[22:24] <luinfana> @Jack_Sparrow: Yes, I'm absolutely sure, and I'm aware of the risks
[22:24] <nat2610> gavimobile, yeah I never had that problem ... I don't know... maybe if you enable in the source.list the last packages it might work better
[22:25] <luinfana> it fixes a critical kernel panic issue I'm having
[22:25] <dwhsix> Jack_Sparrow: thx... any idea why when I set up the root partition, the space I've left over (8GB) for swap is labelled "unusable"...?
[22:25] <gavimobile> nat2610, do u have the source.list which i need to add for non-free
[22:25] <Jack_Sparrow> dwhsix dont woor about that for now..
[22:25] <amortvigil> does anyone have a good tutorial about getting your windows vista partition to viritual guest in vmware?
[22:26] <dwhsix> Jack_Sparrow: hmm ok
[22:26] <dwhsix> thx
[22:26] <Jack_Sparrow> dwhsix possibly a break not on a boundary.. something like that.
[22:26] <gavimobile> the sob still didnt install
[22:26] <nat2610> gavimobile, check the one you have, at the end of the file (/etc/apt/source.list) remove the # in front of deb ...
[22:26] <dwhsix> Jack_Sparrow: but that remaining space will be usable?  I need a swap partition...
[22:27] <dwhsix> &^%^&*&^!!!! this time it shows up as 'free space'... weird
[22:27] <Jack_Sparrow> dwhsix let the install disk handle the swap.. much easier
[22:27] <luinfana> Still wondering if anyone knows how to cleanly update to 2.6.27-10...
[22:27] <dwhsix> but good
[22:27] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[22:27] <hajar> Jack_Sparrow.. then how to solve the problem of hibernate .. my work always my work is lost
[22:27] <Entropy51423> How can I restore Ubuntu to its default theme if I changed it with Emerald?
[22:27] <gavimobile> silly me.. i didnt even check the sources.list because i thought the default would be fine
[22:27] <gavimobile> lets see whats going on there
[22:28] <Jack_Sparrow> hajar nope sorry.. cant help.. you should be able to turn off hibernate and suspend
[22:28] <dwhsix> Jack_Sparrow: I'm doing manual partitioning... guided kept showing me things that implied it was going to wipe the Vista partition
[22:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware > hajar
[22:28] <Jack_Sparrow> dwhsix np... gotta run..
[22:28] <luinfana> Entropy51423: have you just tried changing the theme in Settings -> Appearance? I thought Metacity overrides Emerald...
[22:28] <dwhsix> Jack_Sparrow: np - thanks for your help
[22:29] <gavimobile> nat2610, i think i found it
[22:29] <gavimobile> backports are disabled
[22:29] <gavimobile> they need to be enabled
[22:29] <gavimobile> i remember i ran into this with debian or fedora a few weeks back
[22:30] <nat2610> gavimobile, when u commented those line run a apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
[22:30] <luinfana> gahh, I gotta get this kernel updated...I can't keep kernel panicing every 10 minutes
[22:30] <gavimobile> now just sudo apt-get update
[22:30] <gavimobile> no i dont want to do upgrade
[22:30] <kpuljek> hi! can anyone tell me if there is a way to disable font smoothing in gnome-terminal?
[22:30] <gavimobile> theres alot of upgrades which need to be done
[22:30] <gavimobile> and im formating this disk after i save my disk
[22:31] <gavimobile> i just used ubuntu to use ddrescue on this computer
[22:31] <ikonia> gavimobile: do you need support/have a support question ?
[22:31] <DasEi> ﻿kpuljek: though there might be a particular/more specific way, dpkg-reconfigure -a lets you set it
[22:31] <sere> testing font
[22:31] <luinfana> Anyone? Help with upgrading to kernel from proposed?
[22:31] <gavimobile> ikaros, why u ask?
[22:31] <ikonia> luinfana: what's the issue ?
[22:31] <kpuljek> DasEi: thanks, will try now... please hold on :)
[22:31] <ikonia> gavimobile: because your just saying random words in a support channel
[22:32] <sere> hey everyone
[22:32] <gavimobile> ikaros, lol.. oops
[22:32] <gavimobile> i was explaining myself
[22:32] <gavimobile> sowwy
[22:32] <luinfana> ikonia: I have bug 276990; need to upgrade my kernel to 2.6.27-10-generic from proposed to fix it
[22:32] <w3rd_> hey guysi just installed hybrid ircd and wandering where its located after dl? any hints?
[22:32] <X1karr0usX1> yo whats up dudes
[22:32] <ikonia> luinfana: enable the proposed repos, re-open synaptic, search for kernel, and update it
[22:32] <luinfana> ikonia: not sure how to do it without causing a lot of broken packages and mayhem though
[22:32] <X1karr0usX1> gavi... you say my name?
[22:33] <ikonia> luinfana: my advice, although a personal thing only is once you have updated the package  you want, disable the proposed repo
[22:33] <sere> anyone know a good free website / file host
[22:33] <X1karr0usX1> woah, nevermind...
[22:33] <jedi06> how do you use find so it doesn't list every signgle files is searches?
[22:33] <ice_cream> hi, out of curiosity, why would ubuntu want a whopping 75mb for 8.10 upgrade
[22:33] <X1karr0usX1> sere... how much room you lookin for?
[22:33] <luinfana> ikonia: and just make sure I'm not updating anything while I have the proposed repo enabled, obviously
[22:33] <ice_cream> (on /boot that is)
[22:33] <diffred> hi ! linux terminal question
[22:33] <jedi06> i am using find / filetosearch
[22:33] <diffred> find . -name DIPweb -exec cd '{}' \;
[22:33] <diffred> find: `cd': No such file or directory
[22:33] <diffred> why this command not working
[22:33] <roco324234543345> does anyone know how to uninstall tomcat6 from the command line?
[22:33] <ice_cream> i have a whole bunch of kernels that dont even take up 60mb
[22:34] <diffred> DIPweb is an actual directory
[22:34] <luinfana> ikonia: this is a nasty bug, I actually just reinstalled to fix it - kernel panic on second boot
[22:34] <sere> sudo apt-get remove tomcat6
[22:34] <luinfana> ikonia: not good
[22:34] <sere> ?
[22:35] <luinfana> ikonia: at any rate I'll give that a try, thanks for the suggestion
[22:35] <roco324234543345> sere - Thats great!
[22:35] <roco324234543345> thank you
[22:35] <jerndoe> hi
[22:35] <linuxmain> hola
[22:35] <ice_cream> it appears to be a kind of bug, in any case, to require so much space on /boot for an upgrade..
[22:36] <sere> roco324234543345, np
[22:36] <DasEi> ﻿ice_cream:upgrade from hardy ?
[22:36] <ice_cream> DasEi, yea
[22:37] <ice_cream> DasEi, http://pastie.org/private/usaxr8zsi8anzb9ijdw
[22:37] <riderz> zdravo na site
[22:37] <DasEi> ﻿ice_cream:there are several changes to hardy, I don't think thats a bug
[22:37] <ubd> how do i mount ntfs system partition
[22:37] <ice_cream> so you see the prob
[22:37] <DasEi> ubd : man mount
[22:38] <X1karr0usX1> thats wierd
[22:38] <luinfana> ikonia: do I want the header packages too?
[22:38] <RoAkSoAx> ubd: through the command line you can do this: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdx /mount/point/
[22:38] <willis__> ubd,  This can be done by instlling/running the  ntfs-config tool. or other ways, such as the nfts-3g command
[22:38] <alper> is anybody having problem with b43-fwcutter in 8.10. it's a fresh install but I can't get connected
[22:38] <kpuljek> DasEi: i need Fixed or VGA font for it not to be smoothed?
[22:39] <ubd> ntfs partitions are mounted automatically, however this is the system partition and ubuntu cannot mount it.
[22:39] <ice_cream> i used to fit lots of kernels on 64mb
[22:39] <DasEi> kpuljek: depends on how readable you like it, it's explained - I like bold :D
[22:39] <chupy> hi i have a double layer bure
[22:40] <kpuljek> DasEi: i've downloaded some commodore 64 fonts and i really like the nostalgy factor, but commodore wasn't smooth. :)
[22:40] <DasEi> ﻿ice_cream:can you resize /boot ?
[22:40] <outboard> how do i install ubuntu as a dual boot with my existing xp  ?
[22:40] <outboard> ihave a copy of the cd

[22:41] <Doctor_Nick> is anyone getting a kernal panic when they switch from wireless to wired networking?
[22:41] <kek> Slart: removing (purging) all the xserver-* and installing them again helped. now i have animations! :)
[22:41] <ice_cream> just extra fluff that has no business being on /boot
[22:41] <DasEi> ﻿ice_cream:paste the output from : sudo fdisk -l
[22:41] <DasEi> *paste
[22:41] <n8tuser> Doctor_Nick-> yes, the whole system freezes
[22:42] <Doctor_Nick> ok
[22:42] <Doctor_Nick> so it's not just me
[22:42] <ice_cream> why dont you just ask me if i have space
[22:42] <ice_cream> and i'll just say, "DasEi, no, i do not"

[22:44] <Scunizi> Ok.. I finally stuck my foot in a pile.  I attempted to do a sudo chown root:admin /bin/su ... sudo chmod 04750 /bin/su.. Two things, there is no /bin/su and after doing the first command and not the second, my user now has access to sudo without a password. ARG.. How do I switch it back to normal behavior? sudo chown root:root ???
[22:44] <balzac> I have to say, Ubuntu eee is very choppy on my asus eee 901
[22:44] <rshakin> anyone running nvraid on their machine
[22:44] <balzac> I mean choppy.
[22:45] <agustin> lucax q hace feo
[22:45] <agustin> jaja
[22:45] <Doctor_Nick> n8tuser: what computer and network card do you have
[22:45] <DavidCanarias> I am trying unsuccessfully to burn a normal Audio CD. I can burn OK with with Brasero or CD/DVD creator and it's ok on my computer. My DVD player which reads most things just won't open it or recognise it? Any suggestions as to what's wrong. I'm sure it's something simple!!
[22:45] <n8tuser> Doctor_Nick-> old stuff, atheros, ti acx, tulip, dec stuff..
[22:45] <Doctor_Nick> ok
[22:46] <balzac> I wonder if ubuntu is this bad on all atom-based computers. I hope not.
[22:46] <Mimi> Heeeeeeeeeeyyy, I was working on my laptop when the screen just shut off... nothing would bring it back on. I had to turn it off and let it sit off for a while, because no screen came up. After that rest period, the screen Did come back on. Anyone know where I might start troubleshooting this? :P Screen rez works but only smallest
[22:46] <chupy> hi i have a double layer burner and i think linux dont recognize it.... it only recognize it like a simple dvd burner... i want to burn an xbox 360 dvd
[22:46] <lucax> agustin, hehe here they dont like when u speak in spanish, dont know why...
[22:46] <Linuxnoob100> does it take a long time to coinfigure initramfs-tools? because its been on it for 67% for like 7 mins... is it frozen?
[22:46] <agustin> ok
[22:46] <lucax> chupy, did u try googlin first?
[22:46] <Scunizi> chupy: use k3b... also if you're making a copy of an xbox 360 game ... good luck
[22:46] <agustin> nice chat jajaja
[22:47] <n8tuser> lucax-> just like we dont like chinese or urdu characters we dont understand.. :P
[22:47] <chupy> i try it but dont work
[22:47] <balzac> I supported Asus for being an early mover in adopting GNU/Linux. I think Asus is deserving of more support from Linux hardware compatability developers.
[22:47] <agustin> chinese char??? wtf?? jaja
[22:47] <chupy> it makes me a copy of 5mb

[22:48] <lucax> chupy, as far as i know, k3b can help u out with that

[22:49] <agustin> oohh thanks ubottu i dont know that jejejejej
[22:49] <n8tuser> pyrophelia-> great, thats how i wanted it to be
[22:49] <pyrophelia> um
[22:49] <Linuxnoob100> is it bad to have a swap drive over 2gb?
[22:49] <pyrophelia>  /s?
[22:49] <Linuxnoob100> partition*
[22:49] <lucax> chupy, did u try burnin dvd with it at all?
[22:50] <n8tuser> Linuxnoob100-> nope
[22:50] <malcom2073> n8tuser: I would read it more as "natet or natie user"
[22:50] <alper> is anybody having problem with b43-fwcutter in 8.10. it's a fresh install but I can't get connected. I have read a bug report in launchpad about this in hardy is that applies to 8.10 too
[22:50] <malcom2073> cause the 8 already has a t on the end :P
[22:50] <Linuxnoob100> n8tuser: thanks
[22:50] <chupy> lucax: yes but it burns it like a 5mb dvd with a video
[22:50] <pyrophelia> Linuxnoob100, conventional wisdom is to have a swap that's 2x of your ram. but I never use more than 100MB unless i'm doing some hardcore video encoding.  Not sure what bad a large swap could do
[22:50] <stephen_> can/should I "adduser me dip" ?
[22:50] <n8tuser> malcom2073-> thats true :P
[22:51] <pyrophelia> n8tuser, ok but the way it's spelled it sounds like 'n-eighty-user
[22:51] <DavidCanarias> Can anyone please help me with a problem I am having burning an audio cd ??
[22:51] <Linuxnoob100> i had a 122.9gb hd so i just made 2.9 swap to make 120 for file storage... numbers that are easy to remember are cool :d
[22:52] <n8tuser> pyrophelia-> thats true too, i have started in the eighties.. late eighties ..hehe
[22:52] <lucax> is ati 3850 fully sopported with new xorg drivers on intrepid?
[22:52] <bdelin88> is there a wine IRC?
[22:52] <pyrophelia> linuxmain, I doubt it would hurt anything.  generally you don't want to use swap so if your system is using swap more than ram you have a bigger problem on your hands than a large swap partition
[22:52] <linuxmain> pyrophelia: Okay.
[22:52] <lucax> !ati
[22:52] <pyrophelia> bdelin88, #wine
[22:53] <pyrophelia> er #wine-hq
[22:53] <pyrophelia> er
[22:53] <pyrophelia> don't listen to me
[22:53] <kpuljek> DasEi: well, reconfiguring didn't help, but i found a solution. i just had to add my font to .fonts.conf and type false next to the antialias option :)
[22:53] <pyrophelia> invite only?
[22:53] <pyrophelia> they must have had some takeover attempts
[22:53] <bdelin88> pyrophelia: speaking of swap, I was recommended to use double, or at least 1:1 with the amount of RAM that I have... I have 4GB of RAM and I amusing 5 GB swap, isn't that overkill?
[22:54] <Splex> How can I bind a keyboard command to a mouse button?
[22:54] <DasEi> kpuljek: thanks for the hint
[22:54] <node357> pyrophelia, it's #winehq
[22:54] <pyrophelia> bdelin88, anything over 2gb is overkill.  What you just said is 'conventional wisdom' but it doesn't consider systems with lots of ram
[22:54] <kpuljek> DasEi: but that did't turn off the antialiasing just in the terminal, but in all other parts of the system. however, this font is not really good looking on the gui so it's okay
[22:55] <pyrophelia> node357, I stand corrected
[22:55] <tankpunk> trying to get uzsb headset working via alsa and get this error any ideas "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback."
[22:55] <bdelin88> pyrophelia: I kinda figured as much, ok so I can scale that down a bit, can I just repartition the swap or how is the easiest way to do that with ubuntu?
[22:55] <DavidCanarias> I think Brasero is a good CD writing program no? Does anyone know why my DVD player wont read the disc. My computer does?????
[22:55] <lucax> any one knows how to burn dual layer dvd?
[22:55] <DasEi> kpuljek:no change after (I think it was vga bold) by reconfigure ?
[22:55] <Daps> help, i plugged in a logitec headset and now videos on youtube in Mozilla have no sound....
[22:55] <DavidCanarias> Forgot to say its an ordinary audio CD
[22:56] <DasEi> !burn | lucax
[22:56] <kpuljek> DasEi: no, all fonts are still smooth as they were before
[22:56] <pyrophelia> bdelin88, gparted
[22:56] <bdelin88> pyrophelia: thank you
[22:56] <lucax> DasEi, do they burn dual layer out of thebox?
[22:56] <DasEi> kpuljek:I was just going about the terminal
[22:57] <kpuljek> DasEi: yes, i was also taking about the terminal
[22:57] <DasEi>  lucax : nero and k3b do, as the burner and the medium fit
[22:57] <lucax> DasEi, thanks
[22:57] <agustin> any one speak spanish pls i need help

[22:57] <Daps> no sound... help someone.. anyone
[22:58] <bdelin88> pyrophelia: i just opened gparted with: "sudo gparted" but all of the buttons are greyed out, am I doing something wrong?
[22:58] <sproingie> bdelin88: don't use sudo for gui apps, use gksu
[22:58] <bullfist> so who knows about video configuration?
[22:59] <bdelin88> sproingie: what is the difference, and it is still not working...
[22:59] <pyrophelia> bdelin88, sudo should only be used for cli apps.
[22:59] <bdelin88> pyrophelia: cli?
[22:59] <sproingie> bdelin88: something to do with session management.  tho yah it's still not likely to solve the actual problem
[22:59] <lucax> wanna burn a xbox360 dvd which is write protected... how do i do that? is it possible?
[22:59] <sproingie> not that problem anyway
[22:59] <pyrophelia> bdelin88, command line interface.  things that can be run and forgotten about such as daemon control.
[22:59] <tomoyuki28jp> The repository of the server edition is different from the one for desktop?  I am currently using Ubuntu for client and CentOS for server, but if I can use the same packages for the both, I want to change the server OS to Ubuntu.
[22:59] <Hikefu> bdelin88: command line
[22:59] <sproingie> lucax: it's totally not possible to read on an unmodded 360
[22:59] <JeffATL> bdelin88: it's OK - i recognize VMS talk when i see it :)
[22:59] <Linuxnoob100> i had a 122.9gb hd so i just made 2.9 swap to make 120 for file storage... numbers that are easy to remember are cool :d?
[23:00] <Linuxnoob100> wow
[23:00] <Linuxnoob100> oops
[23:00] <mib_9whhhv> hi all
[23:00] <bullfist> XGI video card configuration. How do I do it?
[23:00] <mib_9whhhv> how do you set up a proxy on a ubuntu 7.10 server?
[23:00] <bdelin88> pyrophelia: so how do i get user control of gparted, all the buttons are still greyed out?
[23:00] <pyrophelia> bdelin88, gksu gparted
[23:01] <X1karr0usX1> gksu gparted
[23:01] <bdelin88> pyrophelia: hmm...
[23:01] <bdelin88> pyrophelia: thought i just did that, i'll try again
[23:01] <Hikefu> perhaps because the partitions are mounted or something
[23:01] <Linuxnoob100> my server has been stuck on configuring initframs-tools for the last 20 mins.. it been at 67% the whole time is it safe to say its frozen and i should restart?
[23:01] <Splex> How can I bind a keyboard command to a mouse button?
[23:01] <bdelin88> pyrophelia: yes they are mounted, do I need to do it with the live cd or something?
[23:01] <sproingie> Linuxnoob100: i'd say so, it shouldn't take that long
[23:01] <Linuxnoob100> thanks
[23:01] <X1karr0usX1> agreed
[23:01] <Hikefu> bdelin88: i would think so
[23:02] <bdelin88> Hikefu: alrighty
[23:02] <sambagirl> is ftp turned off automatically in ubuntu intrepid desktop?
[23:02] <sambagirl> disabled i mean?
[23:02] <X1karr0usX1> bdelin, did gksu command work for ya?
[23:02] <Hikefu> bdelin88: you can even burn a gparted livecd
[23:02] <wasabi> ftp clients or servers?
[23:02] <sproingie> sambagirl: ftp server?  there isn't one installed.
[23:02] <sambagirl> servers
[23:02] <bullfist> how do I configure a video card?
[23:02] <wasabi> There are no ftp servers installed by default.
[23:02] <sambagirl> ohh
[23:02] <axeman69> hello all
[23:02] <wasabi> There's no good reason for there to be.
[23:03] <sproingie> there's not a lot of reason for an ftp client at that, but it still won't die
[23:03] <axeman69> I'm having a problem after an install with my keyboard and mouse not responding
[23:03] <sambagirl> well i wanted to transfer something via ftp from my laptop to the server.
[23:03] <sambagirl> i use them all the time.
[23:03] <sproingie> sambagirl: you sure you need ftp for that?  scp is much simpler
[23:03] <sambagirl> scp?
[23:03] <sambagirl> whta is that?
[23:03] <sproingie> oh the server runs ftp?  then you should just be able to use the ftp client
[23:04] <Hikefu> bullfist: I see you've been at this for more than a day. You might want to look for a chanenel more suited for your card OR post to ubuntu forums. I mean, by all means, ask here, but if no one is helping or can help, that's an alternative.
[23:04] <alper> hi all how can I connect wifi I am using 8.10 it's fresh install
[23:04] <sambagirl> will scp work with a vista client?
[23:04] <poncepil_> je ne fais que passer
[23:04] <wasabi> sambagirl: You can run WinSCP on Vista.
[23:04] <sambagirl> ahh ok
[23:04] <sambagirl> thanks
[23:04] <wasabi> sambagirl: SCP is basically file transfer over SSH
[23:04] <bullfist> anyone here have an XGI video card?
[23:04] <sambagirl> ahh ok
[23:04] <ice_cream> alper, generally you'd edit /etc/network/interfaces  and then start your eth1 device
[23:04] <poncepil_> faut parler français
[23:04] <gnutron> sambagirl: secure copy protocol, it's encrypted, you'll need openssh-server installed. use pscp.exe to talk from windows to any ssh server.
[23:05] <wasabi> Or WinSCP, which is a nice UI. :0
[23:05] <mib_9whhhv> how do you set up a proxy on a ubuntu 7.10 server?
[23:05] <pooronet> salut les linuxiens

[23:06] <vbman11> is there a way to boot into windows from ubuntu without completely rebooting the computer?
[23:06] <bullfist> does someone know if there's a linux or utility that I can use on a computer that will be just playing movies? DIVX XVID or othewise.
[23:06] <alper> ice_cream: I am trying to use restricted drivers wifi light is on but I can't get any scan results

[23:06] <Zipplet> hi, I'm trying to install the mdadm package with ubuntu server 8.10 and I receive a lot of errors when it tries to configure the MD device nodes, everything is default as with a new installation. Like this here: http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1014869.html
[23:06] <Hikefu> DavidCanarias: that its in the ubuntu repos and that you could install it with sudo apt-get install serpentin
[23:06] <Mal3ko> is there alternative to WPUT? cause it tend to crash in the middle of uploading..
[23:06] <Zipplet> How would I go about correcting this and getting the nodes created?
[23:07] <Zipplet> please, thanks :)
[23:07] <DasEi> !dvd | bullfist
[23:07] <Mal3ko> WPUT=ftp upload command
[23:07] <ice_cream> alper,   sudo iwlist scanning     returns nothing?
[23:07] <DavidCanarias> Hikefu: Thanks very much you are righ!
[23:07] <aeolien> How do I map my right mouse button to my left button?
[23:07] <axeman69> After installing Ubuntu, after displaying the X login screen, the mouse or keyboard does not respond. I've tried both PS2 and USB.
[23:07] <aeolien> As in, disabling right-clicks.
[23:07] <alper> ice_cream: yea it says " no scan results"
[23:07] <Hikefu> DavidCanarias: its better to install that way for updates :)
[23:07] <poncepil_> pooronet,  enfin quelqu'un qui cause français ;-)
[23:07] <bullfist> I use VLC but I'm talking a different version of Linux that might suppord my video hardware and be less hard for my computer to run.
[23:08] <sambagirl> there is a utility that allows you to control your cpu speeds from the taskbar whta is it called? is it part of some power management applicatoin? or utility?
[23:08] <DavidCanarias> Hikefu: Then I will take your advice and install with sudo apt-get! Thks again.
[23:08] <xteejx> sambagirl: cpuspeed
[23:08] <sambagirl> ahh ok thanks
[23:08] <Hikefu> DavidCanarias: your welcome.
[23:08] <maei> ok.godbay tomorow
[23:09] <bullfist> I'd use XP however... the cpu is only a 500mhz... and with windows you need something like a 1.2 to run divx.

[23:18] <Pelo> mib_9whhhv, ohhh, that's not something I'M all together familar with,  did you manage to find a tutorial to tell you how to do it ?
[23:18] <gnutron> Mal3ko: I think it will support wildcards, it's been awhile since I used it.
[23:18] <mib_9whhhv> nah
[23:19] <exodus_ms> zetheroo> yeah, sometimes it does that. not a very common prob with the site though, just alot of traffic sometimes :)
[23:19] <Pelo> leo_,  try  sudo apt-get remove --purge sun-java6-jre && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre , that might fix it
[23:19] <Pelo> leo_, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel
[23:19] <leo_> ok vielen danke
[23:19] <leo_> i'll try it
[23:19] <Zipplet> okay seems it's a known bug but I can't find mention of any workarounds
[23:19] <gnutron> Mal3ko: try mput    man ftp
[23:20] <mib_9whhhv> why is ubuntu so hard
[23:20] <droopsta915> is it possible to open a pdf in open office? I need to edit some things.
[23:20] <Mal3ko> mput?
[23:20] <Hikefu> droopsta915: there plugins you can install
[23:21] <Pelo> mib_9whhhv, ubuntu is not hard, you are just doing it the hard way, ei cli
[23:21] <droopsta915> Hikefu: are they open source?
[23:21] <gnutron> Mal3ko: multiple put I assume. ftp is so ancient, man ftp for details.
[23:21] <mib_9whhhv> Pelo: Im behind a proxy and want to update my files - is that considered hard?
[23:21] <Pelo> mib_9whhhv, might be worth a shot asking in #debian on how to setup a proxy for apt in cli
[23:21] <Mal3ko> i can;t find the official download site of mput
[23:22] <Pelo> mib_9whhhv, if you had a gui we'd be done by now
[23:22] <Hikefu> droopsta915: I believe so. Check out here: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org. You'll have to search.
[23:22] <mib_9whhhv> gui meh gui
[23:22] <droopsta915> thanks
[23:22] <leo_> Pelo:  whats is the right way to install a program (like java6) when you have java6.bin file?
[23:22] <leo_> i mean, without need to download
[23:23] <Pelo> leo_,  the right way to install a prog is to install it from the repositories , not from a bin file,  only use bin files or source if you donT' have the prog in the repos
[23:23] <Hikefu> leo_: do you need java or java and the plugin?
[23:23] <gnutron> Mal3ko: mput is a  function of ftp type ftp then type help
[23:23] <Pelo> leo_, does sun java 6 actualy inst5all ? do you have al the repositories enabled ?
[23:23] <gnutron> Mal3ko: or man ftp
[23:23] <leo_> Hikefu:  i need to install java so i can install sapgui
[23:23] <zetheroo> just going through my logs in Hardy and it seems that there are a lot of error messages regarding alsa, PCM and pulseaudio
[23:24] <leo_> at least i read some like that
[23:24] <tankpunk> is there a way to get all audio go to my usb headset
[23:24] <Nick924em> ty mez :)
[23:24] <leo_> im really a beginner
[23:24] <leo_> and I also have the platinumgui.jar
[23:24] <gnutron> Mal3ko: you need an established ftp session to use mput, mget etc. hope that helps.
[23:24] <leo_> to run .jar files i need java installed right ?
[23:24] <Hikefu> are you building sapgui from source. If so you should be able to sudo apt-get build-dep sapqui and install the dependencies
[23:24] <Mal3ko> im trying..
[23:25] <mib_9whhhv> got it working
[23:25] <aeolien> How do I disable right-clicking in GNOME?
[23:25] <mib_9whhhv> Pelo: is there a way to upgrade from 7.10 to hardy?
[23:25] <dr_willis> aeolien,  #gome may have some info on that.. its verylikely its not possible
[23:25] <Pelo> leo_, ok,  open  Menu > system> admin > software sources,  check all the box on the first tab and the 3rd tab , then close and update ,  then open a terminal and type  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java6*
[23:25] <Mal3ko> gnutron: what about rsync? can i use it to upload files as well?
[23:25] <droopsta915> I have a pdfimport.oxt file. How can I install this type of file
[23:25] <seekingtruth> hello
[23:25] <linuxmain> privet
[23:26] <aeolien> dr_willis: That was a slip, I should have said X...
[23:26] <droopsta915> should I extract the oxt?
[23:26] <CopyWriter> hell all
[23:26] <CopyWriter> sorry i mean hello all
[23:26] <tchmnkyz> ok people, this is day two of asking. I already tried everything in the forums. After my computer is on for 12+ hours the audio fails to work any more
[23:26] <E4emacs4> lol
[23:26] <Hikefu> droopsta915:  i don't use oo but i think if it's a plugin, there is a way to do so from preferences
[23:26] <mib_9whhhv> apparently having an "!" in the password doesnt work
[23:26] <tchmnkyz> someone has to have an idea on how to correct this
[23:26] <Pelo> mib_9whhhv, yes, you can upgrade to hardy from any of the previous releases,  I recommend you dl the dvd or the alternate install cd and it should let you upgrade automaticaly from that , much quicker and safer then upgrading on line
[23:26] <Pelo> !upgrade | mib_9whhhv
[23:27] <droopsta915> Will try thanks Hikefu
[23:28] <gnutron> Mal3ko: rsync needs a remote daemon running
[23:28] <leo_> Hikefu:  but ubuntu will find the program(sapgui) if i  use apt-get sapgui ?
[23:28] <gnutron> Mal3ko: man rsync
[23:28] <CopyWriter> installed ubuntu server successfully, still playing around with it man i can't see how i've been using windows based servers all these years
[23:28] <leo_> Pelo:  im downloading  2 minutes left
[23:28] <tchmnkyz> someone has to have something on this
[23:28] <Hikefu> leo_: this is old, but it might help. Your app is not easily installed. And i don't think its in the repos. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=232847&highlight=sapgui
[23:29] <Pelo> leo_, the app needs to be in the repos to use apt get to isntall it ,  you can check with  apt-cache search sapgui
[23:29] <gnutron> Mal3ko: ncftp is quite powerful, try it out.
[23:29] <zetheroo> in hardy I have been experiencing the sound ceasing to function ... and it leads to a kind of system crash
[23:29] <Gumby> does anyone here know if there are forcedeth driver issues in intrepid?  My network stops working and in syslog it looks like the driver has thrown up
[23:29] <exodus_ms> tchmnkyz> after 12 hrs your audio stops working?
[23:29] <tchmnkyz> ya
[23:29] <Pelo> leo_, if you are just starting out ,you might find  menu > applications > add/remove easier to deal with to install new apps,
[23:29] <tchmnkyz> i go to work
[23:29] <tchmnkyz> and come home
[23:29] <Mal3ko> gnutron: im looking the ncftp site but can't find the binary for ubuntu..
[23:29] <tchmnkyz> and it just wont play any audio
[23:29] <leo_> nice, i'll try it as soon as i finish this java installation
[23:29] <exodus_ms> tchmnkyz> then what? you reboot and it works again?
[23:29] <tchmnkyz> ya
[23:29] <gnutron> Mal3ko: one sec

[23:30] <tchmnkyz> no
[23:30] <tchmnkyz> just blank screen
[23:30] <Hikefu> leo_: if you have more than one java installed, you might need to sudo update-alternatives --config java to select the right version
[23:30] <gnutron> Mal3ko: you should be able to apt-get it, it's in the net section in synaptic.
[23:31] <dbdii407> Can someone help me?

[23:31] <Pelo> dbdii407, just ask your question, if someoen knows they will trty and help

[23:31] <GrantS> Wow.

[23:31] <gnutron> Mal3ko: possibly in the backports repo, but its definetly available. its a debian package, works fine in buntu
[23:32] <Hikefu> GrantS: a lot of the extra software that comes with printers can't be installed. you should be able to get the printer working though.
[23:32] <dbdii407> Pelo: I know that there is a command to find out though
[23:32] <Pelo> dbdii407, goto , menu > system> admin> hardware drivers (might be restricted drivers)  see if there is a recommended driver you can install

[23:35] <tchmnkyz> the def 2.6.27-9-generic
[23:35] <Pelo> dbdii407, check the back of the monitor, find the horiz-sync value and then check the xorg.conf file , see if they match , that might be the problem
[23:35] <leo_> Pelo:  i answer Yes, regarding "do you accept the terms ?"
[23:35] <zachb1> adac: phpmyadmin is decent, although it requires PHP & apache. but if you're using mysql for a webserver anyway... if not, there's a few others that I can't name off the top of my h ead

[23:37] <Hikefu> Pelo: even if he gets it installed, there are other things he needs to do and install to get it working. I sent him some forum threads with a howto, the last one of which should work fine.
[23:37] <exodus_ms> tchmnkyz> go to system->preferences->screensaver what is the time limit for the screensaver
[23:37] <tchmnkyz> 10 min

[23:37] <dbdii407> Pelo, I cannot find the word horiz-sync on the back
[23:37] <Pelo> Hikefu, i agree but at the moment , he can't even finish the install so ...

[23:40] <Pelo> dbdii407, dig your manual or find your monitor's speck on the internet , find the refresh rate , that is usualy the problem,  also check the xorg.conf file, if there are resolutions listed under device screen, you might want to add the ones you want manualy

Does anyone have any clues on how to get readings of hard drive failure or warnings if a drive is degraded?

[23:54] <Dr_Willis64> bsdfox,  it can install to 128mb - but may be sluggish.. unless you   use some smaller desktop/wiundow manager

[23:54] <Pelo> sfkdiee, open office .org
[23:54] <bsdfox> running fluxbox over NX.. got about 64mb free

[23:55] <ActionParsnip> so if i press mouse1 + mouse2 it can make an input that can be assigned to a shortcut

[23:55] <ActionParsnip> bsdfox: fluxbox is great :D

[23:59] <filthpig> hi, I noticed a bug in Ubuntu 8.04: If you have scummvm running (current game The Curse of Monkey Island), Rhythmbox is unable to start playing. I first thought this was related to firefox/flash(or java?) because I remember having that bug in the past, but shutting down firefox did not help.. Is this a known issue?
[23:59] <Purity> kevin__,  then hit add
[23:59] <exodus_ms> tchmnkyz> have you checked your log files? /var/log directory
