[00:00] <actafool> i have always
[00:00] <actafool> when i moving windows
[00:00] <tyrant> for the rest i remember installing the ati driver using envy
[00:00] <actafool> ..
[00:00] <onetinsoldier> asterix: well, i think it's only effected users that have the compositing extension enabled. and it looks like they 'might' have fixed that so it may be a non-issue now
[00:00] <Zelda> anyone know how to keep the user switcher panel from changing power button icons when I load pidgin?
[00:00] <ermoved> mikegriffin, the xfce environment is easy to configure, yes.
[00:00] <tyrant> actafool, how did you install your grao
[00:00] <actafool> flickering or Blinking is the exactly problem..
[00:00] <nbeebo> mikegriffin, its well enough, but you should try it first..
[00:00] <asterix> onetinsoldier: what is the compositing extension?
[00:00] <tyrant> actafool, how did you install your graphic driver
[00:00] <ermoved> can someone tell me why in the heck gnomebaker is defaulting to a 20 minute cd when i try to make an audio cd project?  it wont let me finish importing this m3u.. arg
[00:01] <onetinsoldier> asterix: i can tell you how to enable it
[00:01] <mikegriffin> i know i should but i hate to waste a cdr and 15 minutes if i dont have to. does it at least have a network manager?
[00:01] <asterix> onetinsoldier: do you mean the extra settings for the advanced effects?
[00:01] <actafool> system - Admin -> hardware drivers
[00:01] <actafool> and i actvated nvidia 177...
[00:01] <trifecta> is it bad that i installed the latest nvidia driver through the recovery console?
[00:01] <actafool> then reboot and all ok but flickers..
[00:01] <trifecta> without changing the telinit
[00:01] <Zelda> anyone?
[00:01] <onetinsoldier> asterix: no.. but i think to get the full effect of that 'appearance' preference, you'll need ot have the compositing extension enabled
[00:02] <tyrant> actafool, ok i am using an old nvidia 173 ui think , and install it using envyng
[00:02] <onetinsoldier> to*
[00:02] <shovi> How can i get the Network Managers Keyring to become Automated, instead of it asking me EVERY TIME????
[00:02] <trifecta> Zelda, no idea buddy
[00:02] <asterix> onetinsoldier: ok how do I enable it?
[00:02] <Zelda> ok thanks.
[00:02] <actafool> where to find and install envyng
[00:02] <bluntz> didnt think ubuntu was still supporting ppc
[00:02] <nbeebo> mikegriffin, u can install it on ubuntu
[00:02] <trifecta> in synaptic actafool
[00:02] <tyrant> sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk
[00:02] <trifecta> or what tyrant said
[00:02] <actafool> thanks i will try now
[00:03] <trifecta> i find synaptic easier :P
[00:03] <onetinsoldier> asterix: you need to edit the file as root.. so gksu or su... depending on whether you use a gui editor or not, and open up the  /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. tell me when you're there
[00:03] <onetinsoldier> asterix: gksu or sudo*
[00:03] <trifecta> sudo su?
[00:03] <nbeebo> mikegriffin, our you could try it on vmware or virtualbox
[00:03] <cmdbbq> I ran rhythmbox -d and got the following while trying to add a podcast (19:02:06) [0x8a97698] [rb_podcast_parse_load_feed] rb-podcast-parse.c:202: Parsing http://wtkk.everyzing.com/results.jsp?s=PZSID_0000712197;Eagan+%26amp%3B+Braude+Podcast&start=0&num=10&col=en-aud-pod_wtkk-ep&filter=0&dedupe=1&expand=true&match=query,channel&x=0&y=0&il=en as a Podcast failed
[00:03] <onetinsoldier> trifecta: yes. typo of mine
[00:03] <actafool> i looking for fix for this problem whole day im so nerveous now
[00:03] <trifecta> lol
[00:04] <zsquareplusc> trifecta: no, use sudo -i if you really want to do that
[00:04] <barbar__conan> hi to all
[00:04] <barbar__conan> is there anyway to use synaptic with aria?
[00:04] <bluntz> barbar
[00:04] <tonsofpcs> n8tuser - ok, i had to disable NetworkManager as well to get it to work, but it appears to be working now
[00:04] <ermoved> !pastebin
[00:04] <asterix> onetinsoldier: okay got it open
[00:04] <b3z3rk3r> hey, im struggling to setup a direct cable connection to my windows desktop from my Ubuntu 8.10 laptop, can anyone help me???
[00:04] <barbar__conan> bluntz: yes
[00:04] <n8tuser> tonsofpcs -> am glad it worked for you
[00:04] <bluntz> hi thats all
[00:05] <barbar__conan> (: ok
[00:05] <trifecta> is it bad that i installed the latest nvidia driver through the recovery console?without changing the telinit?
[00:05] <asterix> onetinsoldier: why is my gedit showing up on all four faces of my cube though?
[00:05] <tyrant> actafool, dont get nervous , u have to relax and take your time christmas
[00:05] <hellrasier> hola weans
[00:05] <actafool> all is okay
[00:05] <actafool> except this
[00:05] <zsquareplusc> b3z3rk3r: ethernet? is it a crossed cable?
[00:05] <actafool> :)
[00:05] <barbar__conan> bluntz: do u know any way that i told?
[00:05] <bluntz> srry missed ur ?
[00:05] <actafool> i hope this will help
[00:05] <actafool> :)
[00:05] <trifecta> is it bad that i installed the latest nvidia driver through the recovery console?without changing the telinit? or editing my xorg?
[00:06] <onetinsoldier> asterix: ok.. this pastebin will show you how... http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6e5db6b3  ...never mind my "Driver"  "sis" line that was an example for someone with a Savage card
[00:06] <b3z3rk3r> zsquareplusc, yes, the windows xp box can see samba shares on ubuntu.. but not the other way round???
[00:06] <barbar__conan> bluntz: is there any way that i use synaptic with aria or wget?Any idea?
[00:06] <n8tuser> b3z3rk3r -> both ends have an ip address, and gateway? route table okay?
[00:06] <onetinsoldier> asterix: and yo don't need all the extra carriage return either
[00:06] <zsquareplusc> b3z3rk3r: ah, so the network is already working. you probably have a windoze firewall that things the network is not local
[00:06] <bluntz> synaptic uses apt-get
[00:06] <b3z3rk3r> n8tuser, i have manually assigned ip's to both and same subnet and workgroup
[00:07] <Deftone7> DarkSotM: there's only SATA, RAID, and AHCI
[00:07] <n8tuser> b3z3rk3r -> gateway?
[00:07] <asterix> onetinsoldier: so just put the extensions section at the end?
[00:07] <SQlvpapir> http://www.fianceexposed.com/index.php?c=viral&m=index&id=4b9baa900fba41b4151ac0f19d0cf590
[00:07] <Deftone7> I tried all settings and no dice bro.
[00:07] <tyrant> trifecta, editing the xorg doesnt work anymore because if you have an error in it gnome is gonna make a new one
[00:07] <b3z3rk3r> n8tuser, not sure what that is or does?
[00:07] <DarkSotM> deftone7: try booting with all_generic_ide added
[00:07] <zsquareplusc> b3z3rk3r: heh, actually both PC should automatically grab an IP from the zeroconf range (169.x) but if you already have it working with static IPs it's ok too
[00:07] <n8tuser> b3z3rk3r -> it is required to get to the far end
[00:07] <Deftone7> yep
[00:07] <b3z3rk3r> zsquareplusc, so i should just disable firewall?
[00:07] <onetinsoldier> asterix: i put mine below the "Device" Section.. but i don't think it matters where you put the Section in the file
[00:08] <cdeszaq1> can GParted from a live CD be used to safely grow a windows NTFS partition while shrinking an ext3 data partition?
[00:08] <onetinsoldier> asterix: just as long as it's in there
[00:08] <bluntz> whats wrong with using apt?
[00:08] <Ghoul> Why does my kbd layout switch ot qwerty after reboot when by default i have only 1 layout USA - Colemak in System > preferences > keyboard > layouts | after reboot it still says USA-Colemak but in fact it's qwerty; only after i remove and add it again it goes back to colemak...
[00:08] <zsquareplusc> b3z3rk3r: if you dont have and other direct connection to the internet, yes, temporarily disable it
[00:08] <barbar__conan> bluntz: yes i know.Sorry my mistold.Any partial and segmented chance with downlading packages?
[00:08] <asterix> onetinsoldier: okay and now reboot?
[00:08] <onetinsoldier> asterix: no
[00:08] <tyrant> cdeszaq1, vista or xp
[00:08] <barbar__conan> deb packages
[00:08] <cdeszaq1> tyrant: xp
[00:08] <Ghoul> ideas what the bleep is going on?!
[00:08] <cmdbbq> when i try to add a podcast to rhythmbox i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/91893/ ubuntu 8.04 rhythmbox 0.11.5
[00:08] <b3z3rk3r> zsquareplusc, both machines have Dc to iNet
[00:08] <onetinsoldier> asterix: log out of X. then press  Ctl+Alt+Backspace... then log back in
[00:09] <tyrant> cdeszaq1, xp is ok , i did it once with vista and the vista was lost
[00:09] <asterix> ok
[00:09] <cdeszaq1> tyrant: ok, thanks
[00:09] <tyrant> cdeszaq1, but xp i did it like 10 times it worked
[00:09] <bluntz> why cant you use apt?
[00:09] <zsquareplusc> b3z3rk3r: you inserted a second NIC to do the direct connection?
[00:09] <tyrant> cdeszaq1
[00:09] <barbar__conan> bluntz: apt-get supports segmented downloading?
[00:10] <b3z3rk3r> zsquareplusc, yes.. its a gaming rig i built to double as my media storage
[00:10] <zsquareplusc> b3z3rk3r: if you could disable the firewall on the windoze side for just this connection?
[00:10] <b3z3rk3r> zsquareplusc, i can try.. lemme se if that works
[00:11] <bluntz> not sure but it remembers what it downloads and if interupted it will give you another chance to get the files
[00:11] <eternaljoy> how much is 20Mbps in MB/s?  1.8?
[00:11] <tyrant> divide by 8
[00:11] <onetinsoldier> asterix: hi, did that work for you?
[00:11] <asterix> onetinsoldier: okay looks like it worked fine
[00:12] <asterix> onetinsoldier: I don't perceive any difference but I guess it's working
[00:12] <onetinsoldier> asterix: hmm, ok. because i have noticed something when it come to the fglrx driver
[00:12] <bluntz> I think only rsync  may be what ur after
[00:12] <wiijii> Can WMs such as openbox, fluxbox etc be used with Ubuntu?
[00:12] <Maxi_Barrabalero> bitech
[00:12] <Maxi_Barrabalero> bitch
[00:12] <barbar__conan> bluntz: problem is not to continue.problem is segmented download.mmmh like split a file and downlad 5 part of them
[00:12] <tyrant> eternaljoy, so it makes 2.5 MBZ
[00:12] <barbar__conan> (:
[00:13] <gogzmer> wiijii: yes
[00:13] <eternaljoy> tyrant: ehats MBZ?
[00:13] <bluntz> ask tyrant may know
[00:13] <tyrant> MB/s
[00:13] <barbar__conan> hmmm
[00:13] <gogzmer> MegaBytes per Zecond
[00:13] <barbar__conan> ok
[00:13] <onetinsoldier> asterix: if you try and shutdown X altogether, and the restart it. GDM nor KDM seem to get along with doing that with the flgrx driver i've noticed. it does seem to take a reboot
[00:13] <eternaljoy> tyrant: so 20Mbps is 2.5 MegaBytes per sec?
[00:13] <onetinsoldier> asterix: now, with that said....
[00:13] <tyrant> ye
[00:13] <barbar__conan> thank u so much (:
[00:13] <tyrant> m
[00:13] <hischild> eternaljoy, minus 10% overhead
[00:13] <tyrant> yes
[00:13] <wiijii> gogzmer WIth how much of a pain in the neck? Are you using something apart from Gnome/XFCE/KDE?
[00:13] <tyrant> str
[00:13] <eternaljoy> tyrant: how u figure?
[00:13] <FloodBot3> tyrant: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:14] <gogzmer> hischild: why 10%?
[00:14] <eternaljoy> hischild: how u calculate from Mbps to MB/s?
[00:14] <gogzmer> wiijii: i'm not, but I know others have done it
[00:14] <zsquareplusc> eternaljoy: if you're trying to guess a download rate by comparing the Mbit/s per second, there may be some overhead. so the actual rate may be /10 or /12
[00:14] <tyrant> eternaljoy,  divide by 8
[00:14] <b3z3rk3r> zsquareplusc, still not working, i should probably mention that i am using a uni campus network too. i can see many other machines, but not my windows desktop
[00:14] <bluntz> 8 bits per byte i do believe
[00:15] <tyrant> eternaljoy, 1 byte is 8 bit
[00:15] <sebsebseb> what's the difference between the 64bit desktop and alternate cd, other than the alternate being text based, and apparnatly the user being able to choose which programs to install on installation, as well as making the partition encrypted
[00:15] <onetinsoldier> asterix: you might not notice much difference unless you hve the compiz setting cranked up. install, smms or whatever it is
[00:15] <hischild> eternaljoy, divide by 8, then 10% overhead.
[00:15] <eternaljoy> zsquareplusc: ok, cheers big ears :-)
[00:15] <onetinsoldier> !info cssm
[00:15] <wiijii> gogzmer OK cheers
[00:15] <zsquareplusc> b3z3rk3r: so its not a direct cable connection but over a LAN. ok. so dont turn off firewalls.. :-)  you say it works one way? there may be a firewall within the network too
[00:15] <asterix> onetinsoldier: I've got a pretty fast new machine so I think it'll be pretty smooth no matter what :)
[00:15] <hischild> gogzmer, 10% overhead is a very safe amount to subtract. TCP/IP has quite some overhead on data.
[00:15] <quentusrex_> For some reason ubuntu doesn't detect my display properly. I'm using an hdmi cable. I see the 'desktop' twice on the top half of the screen, and scrambled on the bottom half.
[00:15] <tyrant> sebsebseb, with the alternate cd you can install from network also and other technical stuff
[00:16] <eternaljoy> hischild: ok!  well thats good then. im going on broadband plan that says "UP to 20Mbps"... so that means I can get UP to 2.5MB/s... but in reality it probably will be 1.1MB/s.... right?
[00:16] <sebsebseb> tyrant:  yes that's what I am interested in the technical stuff
[00:16] <sebsebseb> tyrant:  ,but what technical stuff exactly?
[00:16] <onetinsoldier> asterix: install this...  apt-get install simple-ccsm
[00:16] <zsquareplusc> eternaljoy: i'd expect around 2MB/s or a bit more, not just 1.1
[00:16] <onetinsoldier> asterix: tellme when you have that installed
[00:16] <eternaljoy> hischild: are wireless modems good?  They connect using Wireless in my Notebook?
[00:17] <b3z3rk3r> zsquareplusc, haha this is getting complicated.. yes it is a DC cable between the laptop and desktop. But the desktop has other NIC's connecting to LAN which the laptop connects to wirelessly.. see?   :P
[00:17] <eternaljoy> zsquareplusc: if I got 1Megabytes per sec download. I would be happy.
[00:17] <wiijii> What is pulseaudio, and can it be gotten rid of? I want alsamixer to actually show my card mixer levels
[00:17] <tyrant> sebsebseb, i dont know anymore but i used it to install from an iso instead of burning it to cd
[00:17] <hischild> eternaljoy, depending on how far your central is, you'll get between 1 and 2.3MB/s. That's my experience so far with it.
[00:17] <eternaljoy> zsquareplusc: thats 600MB per 10 mins
[00:17] <eternaljoy> hischild: gotcha cheers big ears :-)
[00:17] <hischild> eternaljoy, and yeah they can serve you more then enough speed.
[00:17] <asterix> onetinsoldier: okay it's installed
[00:17] <zsquareplusc> eternaljoy: your ubuntu cd'a'day? ;-)
[00:18] <sebsebseb> tyrant:  yes I got the  64bit  desktop  ISO  burnt to a CD,  that  I will  use to  replace 32bit hardy  with 64bit ibex on other computer,  well  unless  I have a reason to use the alternate I suppouse
[00:18] <eternaljoy> hischild: so a wireless modem wont slow it down, seing its wireless from my Laptop to the Modem?   data can travel 2MB/s through the air?
[00:18] <Jaza> can anyone tell me what this might mean ,change the IP Address to an address that’s outside the dynamically assigned range of your network?
[00:18] <SQlvpapir> please help me with this http://www.fianceexposed.com/index.php?c=viral&m=index&id=4b9baa900fba41b4151ac0f19d0cf590
[00:18] <eternaljoy> zsquareplusc: I cannot use 8.10.. im on 8.04
[00:18] <onetinsoldier> asterix: ok... System --> Preferences --> Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager  ...tell me when you have that open
[00:18] <tyrant> there is no reason sebsebseb , just use the normal desktop method which offers the livecd also
[00:19] <hischild> eternaljoy, yup. Can do more actually, but that's another subject.
[00:19] <zsquareplusc> b3z3rk3r: you have different IPs for your own cable than for the other conenctions? did you check the output of "route" on each so that this IP range goes through the 2nd NIC?
[00:19] <asterix> onetinsoldier: it opened for a split second and then dissapeared
[00:19] <eternaljoy> zsquareplusc: using 8.10 uses 250inode and my Acronis Trueimage wont support it :(  so im stuck on 8.04
[00:19] <tyrant> eternaljoy, i have a 16mbit connection and i only get 1.2
[00:19] <eternaljoy> tyrant: ok
[00:19] <Lemonwedge> anyone know how to take the border off of the image icon preview?
[00:19] <asterix> onetinsoldier: but I've already got the settings manager installed... think that might be conflicting?
[00:19] <onetinsoldier> asterix: ok. i've had that happen one time before..
[00:19] <hischild> tyrant, and i got a 20mbit connection and i get 2.3
[00:19] <tyrant> hischild, lucky for you ,
[00:20] <sebsebseb> tyrant:  well  I guess not in my case, because  not going to network install  and  partition being encrypted I have no reason for this.   what features are avaiable on the alternate CD?  I could  install virtual machine software  again and  download the ISO and run it in that to find out, but I guess you know since you used it
[00:20] <b3z3rk3r> zsquareplusc, im not sure how to do that? can you point me to a guide?
[00:20] <asterix> onetinsoldier: okay it's open now on the second try
[00:20] <onetinsoldier> asterix: no... this is a different one,and they don't conflict
[00:20] <eternaljoy> Acronis Trueimage 11 will only read 8.04, inode 128... but Ubuntu 8.10 started using inode 256 :(((  So Im stuck on 8.04 !  BAD MISTAKE UBUNTU :(
[00:20] <hischild> tyrant, when it comes to computer stuff, i'm always lucky
[00:20] <zsquareplusc> eternaljoy: you can probably configure that with the inodes. or when you upgrade you keep the current filesystem format
[00:20] <eternaljoy> any solution?
[00:20] <Jaza> can anyone tell me what this might mean ,change the IP Address to an address that’s outside the dynamically assigned range of your network?
[00:20] <ilyas_> where ubuntu mirror i want update my ubuntu 5
[00:20] <eternaljoy> zsquareplusc: if I upgrade to 8.10 now?  will it alter the inode from 128 to inode 256?
[00:20] <tyrant> hischild, i reaally envy you
[00:20] <wiijii> Can someone help me with this Pulseaudio madness? How do I get my proper alsamixer channels back??
[00:20] <onetinsoldier> asterix: ok.. the top drop-down menu... select Advanced then click the green checkmark on the far upper right
[00:21] <bluntz> Jaza it means change from lan ip to wan ip
[00:21] <onetinsoldier> asterix: doh, i measnt 'Ultimate'
[00:21] <zsquareplusc> b3z3rk3r: not really. well did you look at the output of "route print"? if you know how to apply netmasks, it isn't difficult to read
[00:21] <tyrant> eternaljoy, what do you need acronis for
[00:21] <asterix> onetinsoldier: okay it's set
[00:21] <unop> route print??
[00:21] <gogzmer> what will this command do: e2fsck -f /dev/sda2   ?
[00:21] <hischild> tyrant, don't. I've got more then enough issues.
[00:21] <ilyas_> alsamixer u must have alsa module in u kernel
[00:22] <actafool_> deamn
[00:22] <actafool_> this dont works for me
[00:22] <zsquareplusc> eternaljoy: isn't that a setting that can only be changed when a partition is formated? (i don't know..) so in a upgrade your filesystem is not formated and keeps the inode setting
[00:22] <onetinsoldier> asterix: ok, go to the animations tab.. select some thing for the 'Open Window' and 'Close Window' drop-down menus
[00:22] <actafool_> i installing it but highest resolution is 640x480
[00:22] <tyrant> actafool, didnt work
[00:22] <burkmat> Good evening all, and happy holidays. My issue is with rdesktop, and I'm not sure if this is the place to ask, but nonetheless: While attempting to RD into a Windows Server 2003 machine the connection establishes, and I see it pop up for a millisecond before disconnecting again. First of all, does anyone know how I can make rdesktop verbose or check the error in any way? Right now it's a silent disconnect.
[00:22] <eternaljoy> zsquareplusc: are you 100% certain?
[00:22] <actafool_> yes it didnt work
[00:23] <w3wsrmn> gogzmer: It'll perform a filesystem check that device.
[00:23] <eternaljoy> zsquareplusc: how do I upgrade to 8.10?
[00:23] <onetinsoldier> asterix: i use Beam Up or Magic Lamp for open... then Explode for the close... hehe
[00:23] <tyrant> actafool, maybe your problem now is the monitor
[00:23] <actafool_> well it write..
[00:23] <cmdbbq> when i try to add a podcast to rhythmbox i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/91893/ ubuntu 8.04 rhythmbox 0.11.5
[00:23] <bluntz> gogzmer see w3wsrmn
[00:23] <actafool_> it need 85 hz
[00:23] <eternaljoy> !~upgrade to 8.10
[00:23] <eternaljoy> !upgrade to 8.10
[00:23] <b3z3rk3r> zsquareplusc, DC Cable isnt showing up on "route -e"
[00:23] <zsquareplusc> eternaljoy: no i'm not.  upgarde info you can get with /msg ubottu upgrade
[00:23] <eternaljoy>  /msg ubottu upgrade
[00:24] <tyrant> actafool, do you have compiz working now otr not
[00:24] <asterix> onetinsoldier: okay these seem to be things I had set in the other settings manager...  but somehow I've now lost the ability to middle click and rotate the cube.
[00:24] <actafool_> Recommended resolution 1024x768 at 85 Hz
[00:24] <actafool_> i have
[00:24] <actafool_> compiz
[00:24] <Jaza> bluntz: when changing a static IP address what do I change it to?
[00:24] <compubomb> how do you change the default audio player in ubuntu ? say for instance, it will load up a certain player for .mp3, a certain player for .avi etc.
[00:25] <compubomb> or a certain player for .rm
[00:25] <zsquareplusc> b3z3rk3r: you dont see the second interface there? but ifconfig shows it is configured?  then you may need to add a route manually
[00:25] <tyrant> actafool_, try installing some older driver using envyng
[00:25] <b3z3rk3r> zsquareplusc, i dont mind if i cant use te dc cable as speed isnt important, i just want to be able to access my data on my gaming box. im only setting up the crossover for synergy
[00:25] <actafool_> i installed
[00:25] <onetinsoldier> asterix: oh.. i see. i've never really used the cube i guess. i would recommend... one last reboot to make certain, the Composite Extension has take and even for these Compiz settings(i notice they took a restart of X one time).
[00:25] <actafool_> all that have there
[00:25] <bluntz> for a server or what
[00:25] <actafool_> but only this works fine for me
[00:26] <onetinsoldier> asterix: has taken*
[00:26] <zsquareplusc> compubomb: open the properties of a file of the desired type and go to the "open with" tab to configure applications
[00:26] <tyrant> actafool_, you mean setting to lower resolution or what
[00:26] <actafool_> yes
[00:26] <actafool_> setting to lower resolution
[00:26] <actafool_> they all works
[00:26] <nbeebo> shoutcast station wont show up in BMPX anymore
[00:26] <actafool_> but no high resolution
[00:26] <actafool_> and
[00:26] <actafool_> flicking again
[00:27] <zsquareplusc> b3z3rk3r: i use scp/WinSCP to copy files. i don't trust these proprietary formats ;-)
[00:27] <compubomb> zsquareplusc: that was easy
[00:27] <compubomb> :p
[00:27] <tyrant> actafool_, what kinda of hardwre do you have
[00:27] <superfly500> hi peeps wonder if some one can help me am new to linux i have just taken vista off for ubuntu 8.10 everythink is working sopt on apart from now sound i have try installing gmone ALSA mixer never helped and tryed a few command lines but still no sound
[00:27] <actafool_> amd64 3000+ nividia 6150 SE integrated
[00:28] <actafool_> 256 mb
[00:28] <b3z3rk3r> zsquareplusc, i was thinking about using VNC or something similar to achieve this as it would be easier right?
[00:28] <superfly500> no sound*
[00:28] <quentusrex_> Why does Hardy properly detect the hdmi settings for my projector, but 8.10 fails?
[00:28] <zsquareplusc> b3z3rk3r: that's just screen sharing. that wont get your files from one side to the other
[00:29] <bluntz> most likely your going to set it to your ip the public sees and this may be  a problem if it changes
[00:29] <hashbrowns> Gnea: Are you still here?
[00:29] <gogzmer> From the live CD, I am trying to shrink an ext3 partition with GParted and it keeps failing, saying I need to run e2fsck -f /dev/sda2. In the step previously, it pretty much runs that command, but to be sure, I ran it manually anyway and re-tried running GParted, but got the same error. Please help...I just want to shrink some partitions!
[00:29] <Gnea> hashbrowns: for a bit
[00:29] <c4pt> how can i repair my b43 driver?
[00:29] <peaces> anyone know how to fix this problem; every time i  suspend or hibernate my computer and come back the wireless will not connect to the original network.  I have to restart my computer.
[00:29] <b3z3rk3r> used ti before, if i remember right you could transfer files too?
[00:29] <bluntz> if it does ,dynamic DNS will fix it up.
[00:29] <Lemonwedge> is there a way to remove the border around image previews in the icons for images on your desktop?
[00:29] <zsquareplusc> b3z3rk3r: only one special version.
[00:29] <hashbrowns> Gnea:  Okay so I backed up the data on my C drive and I need to do a reinstall right?
[00:30] <bluntz> its free to
[00:30] <Jaza> bluntz: when changing a static IP address what do I change it to?
[00:30] <superfly500> hi peeps wonder if some one can help me am new to linux i have just taken vista off for ubuntu 8.10 everythink is working sopt on apart from now sound i have try installing gmone ALSA mixer never helped and tryed a few command lines but still no sound any pointers would be great thanks?
[00:30] <b3z3rk3r> oh, which version is that then?
[00:30] <onetinsoldier> asterix: still here? i would recommend one last reboot to make certain that the Composite Extension has taken, and even for these Compiz settings(i notice they took a restart once).
[00:30] <bluntz> it depends
[00:30] <incubii> !sound
[00:30] <actafool_> deam this..
[00:30] <quentusrex_> Why does Hardy properly detect the hdmi settings for my projector, but 8.10 fails?
[00:30] <bluntz> what are you changing the adress of? the box?
[00:30] <actafool_> stuupid prob..
[00:31] <superfly500> cheers
[00:31] <Gnea> hashbrowns: basically, just go through the procedure - once you get to the hd partition, pay close attention to the options presented to you
[00:31] <tyrant> actafool_, did you try "xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --refresh 85" in  terminal
[00:31] <Elite> hi
[00:31] <gogzmer> superfly500: try the stuff linked too. If it doesn't work for you, come back and I'll try to help out some more
[00:31] <actafool_> nope
[00:31] <actafool_> i will try it now
[00:31]  * onetinsoldier thinks that asterix probably won't be able to stop playing with simple-ccsm now, lol
[00:32] <asterix> onetinsoldier: yeah...  I was just messing around with the different compiz settings....  I'm sure you know how that can go lol
[00:32] <onetinsoldier> asterix: yes
[00:32] <superfly500> will do cheers
[00:32] <bluntz> generally if you are getting a new ip
[00:32] <cmdbbq> when i try to add a podcast to rhythmbox i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/91893/ ubuntu 8.04 rhythmbox 0.11.5
[00:32] <asterix> onetinsoldier: well thanks a TON for the help!
[00:32] <onetinsoldier> asterix: although i can't say i've played with it much yet
[00:32] <bluntz> dhcp wuill work fine
[00:32] <actafool_> xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --refresh 85" in  terminal
[00:32] <onetinsoldier> asterix: you're welcome!
[00:32] <actafool_> nothing happens
[00:32] <actafool_> wtf
[00:32] <hashbrowns> Gnea: Okay, I chose the partition that windows was peviously installed on and now it either lets me delete the windows folder there or choose a different folder name or quit which should I do?
[00:32] <asterix> onetinsoldier: I think I've learned a few things today and hopefully it'll stick :)
[00:32] <Elite> in ubuntu server how do I monitor my cpu temp?
[00:33] <onetinsoldier> asterix: cool :-)
[00:33] <asterix> onetinsoldier: now time to reboot and throw some dinner in the microwave :)
[00:33] <tyrant> b
[00:33] <actafool_> ;(
[00:33] <gogzmer> Elite: does your mobo have a cpu temp probe that the OS can access?
[00:33] <onetinsoldier> asterix: ok.. sounds good.. i have a question or two for you!
[00:33] <bluntz> but if its a server,that may not be the right thing to do
[00:33] <asterix> onetinsoldier: yeah?
[00:33] <peaces> why can't i connect back to wireless network when i come back from having my computer hibernation?
[00:33] <Lemonwedge> please, i really wanna get rid of this border around one of my icons that is an image file
[00:33] <onetinsoldier> asterix: i wait until you come back.. ok?
[00:33] <asterix> onetinsoldier: okay... sounds good
[00:33] <Elite> gogzmer: I am sure it does but lmsensors say no
[00:34] <Jaza> what is installer in ubuntu?
[00:34] <tyrant> actafool_, well try googling you videocard and  compiz and see if you get something
[00:34] <actafool_> okay ty
[00:34] <gogzmer> Jaza: apt
[00:34] <Gnea> hashbrowns: you'd better pm me
[00:34] <gogzmer> Jaza: what are you looking to do?
[00:35] <unop> peaces, you might need to get pm-utils to unload your wireless modules before hibernation
[00:36] <peaces> unop: can you elaborate more on that?
[00:36] <Elite> gogzmer: I am sure it does but lmsensors say no
[00:36] <m3> hi
[00:36] <m3> k
[00:36] <m3> k
[00:36] <m3> k
[00:36] <FloodBot3> m3: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:36] <Jaza> i'm trying to sync my Iphone on ubuntu
[00:36] <hischild> peaces, it means that it'll disable your wireless before you hibernate, and reload once it comes back out of hibernation.
[00:36] <gogzmer> Elite: unfortunately, I am not too much help. Often people come looking to monitor their cpu temp, but their mobo doesn't support it, so I ask that question first so thet they can figure out if it is even possible. If you are sure your mobo does, than good luck...I have never gotten any sensor package to work for me, and since it really wasn't a big deal, I just forgot about it
[00:36] <tyrant> get a mac Jaza  :P
[00:37] <Jaza> thanks but I already have a PC
[00:37] <tyrant> Jaza, just a joke
[00:37] <peaces> hischild, how do i get that, I'm  assuming its a program
[00:37] <unop> peaces, copy your /usr/lib/pm-utils/defaults to /etc/pm  and then edit /etc/pm/defaults to change SUSPEND_MODULES
[00:37] <zsquareplusc> Elite: you dont have output from "sensors"?
[00:37] <bluntz> Jaza needs Jpilot methinks
[00:37] <Jaza> well, I've been trying to get this to work all day
[00:38] <Elite> zsquareplusc: nope notta
[00:38] <peaces> unop: ok I'll give that a try
[00:38] <zsquareplusc> Elite: you haev run sensors-detect?
[00:38] <gogzmer> Is there a way to safely re-size the partitions on my machine without using GParted from a live CD? I keep trying that method, and it keeps failing, telling me I need to do things I already did
[00:38] <Elite> zsquareplusc:  yes
[00:38] <unop> peaces, actually, you need to copy the file into  /etc/pm/config.d/
[00:38] <eternaljoy> when I try to Upgrade from 04 to 10, through UPDATE MANAGER, nothing happens... any other way to upgrade to 8.10?
[00:39] <platius> eternaljoy; http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[00:39] <eternaljoy> platius: i followed that, dont work
[00:39] <gogzmer> eternaljoy: fresh install
[00:39] <gogzmer> :)
[00:39] <zsquareplusc> eternaljoy: you need to change from LTS to the fast release cycle. the link above tells you how
[00:39] <unop> eternaljoy, sudo aptitude install update-manager-core && sudo do-release-upgrade
[00:39] <eternaljoy> gogzmer: I cannot.. i need inode 128
[00:39] <eternaljoy> zsquareplusc: what?
[00:39] <Jaza> Bluntz I'm trying to figure what this means, Open Installer.
[00:39] <Jaza> Click All Packages ? BSD Subsystem ? Install
[00:39] <Jaza> Click on All Packages ? OpenSSH ? Install.
[00:40] <gogzmer> eternaljoy: backup your data somewhere else, and then do a fresh install, re-formatting to give you the bigger inode size as you go
[00:40] <zsquareplusc> eternaljoy: the reason the update manager is doing nothing is that 8.04 is a LTS
[00:40] <zsquareplusc> !lts
[00:40] <peaces> unop: yeah i just noticed that it says DO NOT EDIT THIS lol
[00:40] <eternaljoy> gogzmer: are you listening dude?? i cant. I need inode 128
[00:40] <sonoblaise> Hi!  I'm looking for a good C++ reference in PDF, if possible.  I already found a C book in pdf but it lacks all the OOP thing...  anyone knows where I could find something?
[00:40] <bluntz> think you are in synaptic
[00:40] <Elite> zsquareplusc:  yes I have ran that
[00:40] <incubii> !c++
[00:40] <unop> peaces, once you've copied it to the new location - you can edit it (i.e. ignore the warning)
[00:41] <sonoblaise> !g++
[00:41] <onetinsoldier> sonoblaise: you might try another channel... such as #c++
[00:41] <zsquareplusc> Elite: yeah, sorry. i don't really know then. that helped here..
[00:41] <eternaljoy> zsquareplusc: im confused.. whats my 1st step then?
[00:41] <peaces> unop: can i pm you
[00:41] <sonoblaise> onetinsoldier:  good idea :p  didn't knew there was a channel for that :p
[00:41] <zsquareplusc> eternaljoy: if you want to upgrade http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading tells you how
[00:41] <onetinsoldier> sonoblaise: roger, no worries
[00:42] <Nabbins>  I have a strange issue, I changed my resolution to a lower one using the GUI in ubuntu, but now no matter what resolution I try, whenever I click help or apply nothing happens
[00:42] <trifecta> I'm trying configure Conky using somebody else's config as a base, but I can't seem to get the window sized right. The height is always too much. Any suggestions?
[00:42] <Nabbins> so can't view help or change resolution using default gui screen resolution tool in ubuntu latest
[00:42] <zsquareplusc> eternaljoy: look at the screenshots there
[00:42] <boxefaq|off> does anyone know how much space the default 8.10 install takes?
[00:42] <tyrant> jaza , found this one for you to make up for my jokee but sounds complicated and only for old ipod firmware https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
[00:42] <gogzmer> eternaljoy: why does the OS need to run on inode 128?
[00:43] <trifecta> Does anybody use conky here?
[00:43] <eternaljoy> gogzmer: Acronis Trueimage 11 only support inode 128, not inode 256 in 8.10
[00:43] <jjcalleiro> Hi everyone. I'm new to ubuntu and linux in general. Im a mac user and at work am now using an ubuntu machine. the issue im having is i have these external drives that i use on my mac that have files i need on my work machine. they show up, but it doesnt let me know move things around and save to it. i checked the permissions on the drive and it says the permission of "harddrive" could not be determined.
[00:43] <eternaljoy> zsquareplusc: how do I change from LTS to the fast release cycle?
[00:43] <trifecta> eternal
[00:43] <eternaljoy> trifecta
[00:43] <ribas1> nite
[00:43] <eternaljoy> ribas1: nite
[00:44] <trifecta> lol ill tell you in a sec
[00:44] <superfly500> is there a way around getting the sound to work in ubuntu 8.10 on the ICH9 chipset its not on the ALSA site
[00:44] <trifecta> i have to look at it to see
[00:44] <eternaljoy> trifecta: yes pls :)
[00:44] <gogzmer> eternaljoy: Right, but why bother with setting the OS to 128? Why do you need an image of the install?
[00:44] <eternaljoy> trifecta: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[00:44] <boxefaq|off> does anyone know how much space the default 8.10 install takes?
[00:44] <Jaza> found it but I'm stuck with Click the Static button and change the IP Address to an address that's outside the dynamically assigned range of your network.
[00:44] <eternaljoy> gogzmer: are you for real man? LOL
[00:44] <jeeves_Moss> what causes a standalone version of ProFTPd to time out on the LIST command?
[00:44] <ribas1> dumb question..have eeeubuntu running ok..eeepc 1000h
[00:44] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: you edit your /etc/apt/sources.list  ...the do an  apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:44]  * eternaljoy ignores gogzmer 
[00:44] <Jaza> and    3.
[00:44] <Jaza>       Open Installer.
[00:44] <Jaza>    4.
[00:44] <Jaza>       Click All Packages → BSD Subsystem → Install
[00:44] <Jaza>    5.
[00:44] <FloodBot3> Jaza: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:44] <Jaza>       Click on All Packages → OpenSSH → Install.
[00:44] <ribas1> thing is this came with xp
[00:44] <onetinsoldier> wth?
[00:44] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: edit it with what?
[00:44] <ribas1> is gone
[00:45] <trifecta> eternaljoy, go  to: System>Administration>Software Sources> Updates Tab
[00:45] <Jaza> sorry
[00:45] <ribas1> because i detected two cpus with conky
[00:45] <eternaljoy> trifecta: i did that and it shopws UPGRADE TO 8.10
[00:45] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: perhaps trifecta will guide you :-)
[00:45] <CaneToad> Any ideas why "apt-get install openssh-server" gives an error in ubuntu 8.10?
[00:45] <eternaljoy> trifecta: but when I click it, nothing hjappens
[00:45] <ribas1> can I assume this is dual core ?
[00:45] <gogzmer> superfly500: I had trouble with my sound too...but I don't know what chipset I had
[00:45] <trifecta> hmm
[00:45] <trifecta>  odd
[00:45] <hischild> CaneToad, 1. the error. 2. did you put sudo in front. 3. did you update.
[00:45] <ribas1> like i said  this is dumb question
 eternaljoy: the reason the update manager is doing nothing is that 8.04 is a LTS <-- so whats the fix?
[00:45] <trifecta> it worked for me but I cancelled the upgrade
[00:45] <trifecta> that sounds like a bug
[00:46] <ribas1> 64bit/
[00:46] <gogzmer> superfly500: Can you get sound to work(at all) from any of the sound drivers? (oss, alsa, pulse?)
[00:46] <trifecta> if you cant get it working
[00:46] <eternaljoy> trifecta:  zsquareplusc says its something to do with LTS
[00:46] <CaneToad> hischild, running as root, gives:  dpkg: syntax error in triggers deferred file `/var/lib/dpkg/triggers/Unincorp' at character `�'
[00:46] <ari_stress> hi
[00:46] <eternaljoy> but then zsquareplusc wont tell me how to fix
[00:46] <Nabbins> jjcalleiro: You cannot write to an HFS+ filesystem unless journaling is disabled.
[00:46] <Nabbins> http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_hfsplus
[00:46] <Nabbins> You will still have permissions errors since your Ubuntu user and OSX user are not the same. You will have to make sure you change the permissions of any files in OSX that you want to make sure you can access from in Ubuntu.
[00:46] <FloodBot3> Nabbins: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:46] <bluntz> jj may need hfs readability in his kernel to mount those drives
[00:46] <superfly500> from the looks of it IHC9 intel chipset is not supported by ALSA :-(
[00:46] <trifecta> eternaljoy, in the update manager theres a button that says upgrade, correct?
[00:46] <eternaljoy> trifecta: it says "By default Ubuntu 8.04 LTS will not offer a upgrade to 8.10."
[00:47] <trifecta> what
[00:47] <superfly500> nope
[00:47] <borbosha> So I am having a problem, on my Dell XPS M1210, where Xorg never displays the OSD and prevents the keyboard from working when adjusting the brightness with the fn+up arrow on the laptop. The only way I have found to fix it once it happens is to put the computer to sleep and wake it back up. Any ideas how to fix this?
[00:47] <superfly500> works on vista so i no its not hardware
[00:47] <gogzmer> superfly500: For my machine, I have to run under the oss drivers, but I ended up using alsamixer to set the volumes, etc.
[00:47] <trifecta> I'm on 8.04 and I started the upgrade, but cancelled for my own reasons. I know you can.
[00:47] <zsquareplusc> eternaljoy: well if you already see the "upgrade to 8.10" button it should be fine. if that isn't working - i have no idea
[00:47] <borbosha> The brightness actually works it just locks up the Xorg portion of the system.
[00:47] <CaneToad> hischild, here is what I see, with full context:  http://pastebin.com/m72a06f56
[00:47] <hischild> CaneToad, that sounds bad. What did you do before?
[00:47] <hischild> CaneToad, ty, was bout to ask for that
[00:48] <Nabbins> I can't view help or change resolution using default gui screen resolution tool in ubuntu latest
[00:48] <trifecta> You might have to back up everything and then install from a live cd.
[00:48] <CaneToad> hischild, I haven't done anything unusual
[00:48] <hischild> CaneToad, why are you root?
[00:48] <eternaljoy> zsquareplusc: ok
[00:48] <tyrant> actafool_, how did you try changing resolution ???
[00:48] <Nabbins> glxgears works so I have HW acceleration
[00:48] <dietwater> How do ou get transparent backgrounds like http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1303/1177300828_63fcd2e17c_o.png ?
[00:48] <dietwater> Transparent window backgrounds, sorry.
[00:48] <onetinsoldier> trifecta and eternaljoy: you can probably do it manually... i know how, but there could be a danger that i don't know of because i haven't done that. i installed 8.10 and it's alli know about. but i ama former plain debian user that has updated to form debian stable to unstable a few times before
[00:49] <tyrant> Nabbins, do you have a nvidia card? use nvidia setting from settings menu
[00:49] <CaneToad> hischild, I'm not running everything as root, I have a root window
[00:49] <zsquareplusc> CaneToad: looks like the trigger file there is broken. did you have a filesystem error?
[00:49] <hischild> CaneToad, can you try and use sudo?
[00:49] <hischild> zsquareplusc, got a fix here for him.
[00:49] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: how I do it manusally?
[00:49] <Nabbins> thx that works
[00:49] <CaneToad> zsquareplusc, no filesystem errors
[00:49] <hischild> CaneToad, won't fix the issue at hand, that'll be the next step
[00:49] <ari_stress> dietwater: it's from terminal prefs
[00:49] <trifecta> dietwater, I think they use Compiz window rules.
[00:49] <dietwater> So, how would I change this?
[00:49] <trifecta> opacity rules
[00:49] <hischild> CaneToad, kill all package managers. ps aux | grep dpkg and ps aux | grep atp should give no result but grep. Confirm?
[00:49] <dietwater> I have compizconfig etc.
[00:50] <dietwater> Ah.  In the config manager?
[00:50] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: you have to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file... as root
[00:50] <superfly500> nope oss mixer no good aswell just my lock get a new laptop and its the sound lol last time on my old pc its was the ati card lol
[00:50] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: one moment....
[00:50] <superfly500> luck*
[00:50] <CaneToad> hischild, confirmed, no dpkg or atp processes
[00:50] <trifecta> it might be terminal prefs too
[00:50] <ermoved> dietwater, that's probably an option in that terminal program
[00:50] <trifecta> but i make my whole window semi transparent in the compiz opacity rules
[00:50] <ari_stress> dietwater: no need from compiz
[00:50] <hischild> CaneToad, go to /var/cache/apt/archives and delete the openssh package if it's in there.
[00:51] <trifecta> yeah do it his wya
[00:51] <dietwater> I'm still confused, sorry.
[00:51] <trifecta> way
[00:51] <trifecta> lol
[00:51] <trifecta> where do we access terminal prefs?
[00:51] <ermoved> dietwater, there are several ways to accomplish transparency.
[00:51] <dietwater> Then which is the easiest and least hacky? =)
[00:51] <CaneToad> hischild, the file was there...I moved it to /tmp
[00:51] <ermoved> trifecta, it depends on the terminal program..
[00:52] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: make a backup of the file before yo do anything...   cp -v /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list-hardy
[00:52] <ari_stress> trifecta: Applications > Accessories > Terminal > Edit > Profile prefs
[00:52] <trifecta> you could try going to Edit> Profiles>
[00:52] <ermoved> err
[00:52] <patrick-1> does anyone know a piece of software that can convert xvid avi's to a format that i can burn to a dvd?
[00:52] <trifecta> yeah
[00:52] <trifecta> what ari said
[00:52] <ermoved> dietwater, depends on the program.  if you're using a default ubuntu install, follow ari_stress directions.
[00:52] <bluntz> pat use avidemux
[00:52] <Trenter> Question:  In ubuntu, say I have a folder that contains a program, what is the best folder in root to put that folder in, aka the program files equivalent of ubuntu
[00:52] <patrick-1> mhh
[00:53] <patrick-1> okay
[00:53] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy:  cd /etc/apt   ...then sudo -i   and enter your password
[00:53] <markolonius> hey is it possible to apply permissions to a specific directory and all its subdirectories by command line?
[00:53] <patrick-1> bluntz: what tool do i use to burn?
[00:53] <dietwater> I thought there was a way to make the default background of windows transparent
[00:53] <gogzmer> markolonius: chmod
[00:53] <eternaljoy> how do I manusally do it onetinsoldier ?
[00:53] <ermoved> Trenter, binary files are typically in [some root strucutre]/bin, such as /usr/bin.
[00:53] <bluntz> I use k3b
[00:53] <ari_stress> markolonius: sure thing, sudo chmod -R /dir/something
[00:53] <gogzmer> markolonius: read the man, its in there
[00:53] <tyrant> markolonius, yes
[00:53] <camerongroom> how do I find my gimp scripts in ubuntu?
[00:53] <kitche> markolonius: chmod -R but becareful since you can screw your system up if you use chmod on the wrong directory
[00:53] <sfer2> /home/username/.gimpx.x
[00:54] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: forget it.. ill stick with 8.04 :P
[00:54] <ermoved> Trenter, but you dont install "the program" there.  several things have to go in several other places, i'm sure.
[00:54] <ari_stress> markolonius: right like kitche said
[00:54] <CaneToad> hischild, I re-ran the command with sudo.... same deal.... http://pastebin.com/m1321506   maybe I should try a different mirror?
[00:54] <sfer2> camerongroom^
[00:54] <markolonius> kitche: -R does that dir and all its subdirs? ah
[00:54] <markolonius> thanks
[00:54] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: then... sed 's/hardy/intrepid/' sources.list > sources.list-intrepid
[00:54] <sfer2> camerongroom: /home/username/.gimpx.x
[00:54] <camerongroom> sfer2: do I do that in a terminal?
[00:54] <hischild> CaneToad, the file in question, /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/Unincorp, most likely has some content. Back it up somewhere, delete it, then do sudo touch /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/Unincorp
[00:54] <sfer2> camerongroom: no, you can just browse to it
[00:54] <sfer2> make sure you can view hidden files
[00:55] <camerongroom> thanks
[00:55] <dietwater> markolonius: -r stands for recursive =)
[00:55] <Trenter> When I try to drag a folder from a .tar.bz2 file into my /usr/games folder it says permission denied, is this normal?  I am using an admin ubuntu account.
[00:56] <tyrant> g
[00:56] <CaneToad> hischild, Unincorp is binary.... it is a dbm database, you sure you want to zero it?
[00:56] <sfer2> Now I have a problem with gnome: when i log in, it shows the normal stuff for a couple of seconds and then a command line and then returns me to the login screen, but with kde it's fine. what is going on?
[00:56] <hischild> CaneToad, Back it up first.
[00:56] <tyrant> Trenter, it is normal because ubuntu doesnt let you log in as root which is the administrator , but u can do so by starting  nautilus with sudo
[00:56] <ari_stress> sfer2: did it work before?
[00:57] <mortici> anyone willing to tell me how to change a device label, one of my secondary hdd's is labeled as "New Volume" but i want to rename it to something else
[00:57] <sfer2> ari_stress: yes, it worked fine until i logged in just this morning
[00:57] <sfer2> well, tried to.
[00:57] <tyrant> Trenter, i wouldnt drag and drop a folder ti /usr/games
[00:57] <jeeves_Moss> anyone on this FTPD server issue timing out on the LIST command?
[00:57] <ari_stress> sfer2: might be a corrupt gnome settings, you can try login to kde, and renaming/backingup the ~/.gnome directory and logon to gnome again
[00:57] <sfer2> Trenter: extract it from command line instead
[00:57] <eternaljoy> anyone knbow how to Upgrade 8.04 LTS to 8.10?
[00:58] <sfer2> ari_stress: ive tried that with all .gnome and .gconf folders, hasn't worked
[00:58] <edju> want to install gnome, but ubuntu-desktop brings in too much.  is a "thin" gnome available?
[00:58] <waya-work-s> yeah.
[00:58] <sfer2> eternaljoy: go to update manager and allow it to  display upgrades
[00:58] <eternaljoy> !upgrade
[00:58] <waya-work-s> try installing gnome edju
[00:58] <ari_stress> sfer2: ow.. how about create a new user and try logon with that user
[00:58] <ari_stress> sfer2: just to see what's the problem
[00:58] <sfer2> ari_stress: good idea, i will do that and report back.
[00:58] <eternaljoy> sfer2: I see UPGRADE TO 8.10.. but when I click it, it says downloading update manager, and then nothing happens
[00:59] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: then... sed 's/hardy/intrepid/' sources.list > sources.list-intrepid
[00:59] <sfer2> eternaljoy: wait, it has to download
[00:59] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: type that command?
[00:59] <eternaljoy> sfer2: no, nothing is hjappening, even 10 mins later
[00:59] <tyrant> Trenter, i bet you re doing something wrong as when u install things under linux , the exe goes to usr/local/bin and pics and icons gor to /usr/share/programm and libraries to /usr/LIB so i d be careful
[00:59] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: I type... sed 's/hardy/intrepid/' sources.list > sources.list-intrepid  ?
[00:59] <provo> i'm having a weird problem,  when i try to delete one of my folders in my home directory i am unable to do so because i keep getting permission denied, why am i not allowed to do this in my own home directory?
[00:59] <Petein> hi.how can i install the IDE for Mono Develop?
[00:59] <Seiphas> I have a computer running 8.10, and one of the ext3 drives is reporting errors
[00:59] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: it's a sed command....
[00:59] <waya-work-s> eternaljoy: no
[00:59] <zsquareplusc> edju: you can install xubuntu. that has a different window manager but you can still run gnome (or KDE) apps
[00:59] <eternaljoy> !sed
[01:00] <Seiphas> I ran  sudo fsck.ext3 -r -v /dev/sdb1, but it's been two days without any errors and nothing appears to be happening
[01:00] <Seiphas> what do I do
[01:00] <waya-work-s> you have to aptitude update && aptitude upgrade before you do that.
[01:00] <craig1709> Wireless trouble: I put wlan0 in 'Monitor' mode and then back into 'Managed' (a bcm4311 card - b43 driver) and now it refused to receive a network address. Authenticate fine though - anyone have any idea?
[01:00] <eternaljoy> waya-work-s: what then?
[01:00] <NkZ> Greetings
[01:00] <hischild> CaneToad, you still there?
[01:00] <waya-work-s> and i recommend you run update-manager -d
[01:00] <waya-work-s> it should do it for you
[01:00] <tonon> hey, can anyone teach me how to make an ntfs partition ?
[01:00] <eternaljoy> waya-work-s: whats my 1st command?
[01:00] <NkZ> How can I delete all those old kernels stacking up on my system?
[01:00] <tyrant> just use gparted tonon
[01:00] <ari_stress> hi guys, i download torrent a lot, it surely makes my hdd heavily fragmented, right?
[01:00] <Seiphas> ari_stress: what partition type
[01:01] <waya-work-s> eternaljoy: nar let update-manager -d do it for you
[01:01] <ari_stress> Seiphas: ext3
[01:01] <waya-work-s> its all automated
[01:01] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: this is up to you. yuo have to want it bad... because things don't 'always' go smoothly with an upgrade.. but it's likely you'll be ok.. but you never know
[01:01] <eternaljoy> waya-work-s: bash: upgrade: command not found
[01:01] <Seiphas> ext3 doesn't really fragment
[01:01] <tonon> tyrant i have gparted how does it work?
[01:01] <gogzmer> Are there any options to re-size an ext3 partition safely other than GParted?
[01:01] <waya-work-s> update-manager -d
[01:01] <NkZ> Thats why EXT3 rules over that sucky NTFS
[01:01] <waya-work-s> !upgrade
[01:01] <tyrant> on which hard drive
[01:01] <eternaljoy> waya-work-s: those steps dont work on that website
[01:01] <ari_stress> Seiphas: i've read that article, but with torrent, the protective mechanism can't do much, right? it must be fragmented somehow
[01:01] <trifecta> does anybody use conky here?
[01:02] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: bash: upgrade: command not found
[01:02] <waya-work-s> eternaljoy: they should
[01:02] <CaneToad> hischild, I'm still here...googling...looks like others have had this problem
[01:02] <trifecta> is there a pastebin i could use?
[01:02] <NkZ> How can I delete all those old kernels stacking up on my system?
[01:02] <waya-work-s> or file a bug its not upgrade its update-manager -d
[01:02] <eternaljoy> waya-work-s: "SHOULD" doesnt always mean it does lol
[01:02] <gogzmer> !pastebin
[01:02] <asterix> NkZ: I like to make popcorn once I have a lot of kernals
[01:02] <eternaljoy> waya-work-s: I type  update-manager -d  ?
[01:02] <Seiphas> ari_stress: ext3 defrags as it writes, so you shouldn't really have any issues
[01:02] <Seiphas> ari_stress: there's a way to force it though, no idea
[01:02] <Cygnus__> Can anyone help me with a question about selecting intallation partition?
[01:02] <hischild> CaneToad, yes they have. Note however the absence of the N in their errors.
[01:02] <eternaljoy> Cygnus__: no sorry
[01:02] <trifecta> thanks gogzmer and ubottu
[01:03] <gogzmer> np
[01:03] <edju> waya-work-s, gnome won't install - has an umet dependency - gnome-desktop-environment - which won't install - unmet dependency, gnome-keyring-manager - which doesn't exist.
[01:03] <trifecta> !pastebin
[01:03] <hapless> hey guys, I have an ntfs problem (ntfs-3g prob). my drive is seen (both by win & lin & mac) but cannot be read. gparted is stuck and I get weird Buffer I/O messages in the console. HELP PLS :(
[01:03] <trifecta> lol ubottu
[01:03] <ari_stress> Seiphas: is there any command to see the status of the fragmentation?
[01:03] <eternaljoy> i cannot upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10// anyone experienced here to help me?
[01:03] <NkZ> I don't think I understood that joke
[01:03] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: no.. that won't work. did you do the sed command? it's substitutes ever instance of the word 'hardy' for 'intrepid' thats in that file and output it's to stdout... thenn the '>' symbol redirects it to another file
[01:03] <edju> ah, well - i'll try the xubuntu thing.
[01:03] <waya-work-s> edju: file a bug
[01:03] <onetinsoldier> every*
[01:03] <waya-work-s> that shouldn't happen
[01:03] <waya-work-s> it should now depend on seahorse
[01:03] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: youre confusing me... what command I type first?
[01:03] <tyrant> hapless, replace your hard drive
[01:03] <Flaw> Anyone have an idea where the userlist icons go in X-Chat Aqua?
[01:03] <Flaw> :|
[01:03] <waya-work-s> and a legacy /dummy package should exist
[01:03] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: talk plain language pls :)
[01:03] <asterix> NkZ: the small pieces of corn are also called kernals and popcorn is a heated form of those kernals.
[01:04] <hischild> CaneToad, also, i didn't ask you to zero the file. I asked you to remove it and recreate it as an empty file.
[01:04] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: cd /etc/apt....     sed 's/hardy/intrepid/' sources.list > sources.list-intrepid
[01:04] <waya-work-s> onetinsoldier: don't get him to do that
[01:04] <hischild> onetinsoldier, you may want to do that with another g ... s/hardy/intrepid/g
[01:04] <NkZ> I see.
[01:04] <waya-work-s> read the manual
[01:04] <waya-work-s> !upgrade
[01:04] <Seiphas> how long should e2fsck take to run on a 500 gig drive?
[01:04] <onetinsoldier> waya-work-s: i hear it.. i warned himhe has to want this... bad
[01:04] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: h: sources.list-intrepid: Permission denied
[01:04] <gogzmer> sudo
[01:05] <hapless> tyrant: I need the data on it :(
[01:05] <eternaljoy> gogzmer: sudo gives same message
[01:05] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: ok, before you left last time.. i said...   sudo -i... then enther your password
[01:05] <hapless> otherwise I wouldn't bother
[01:05] <Cygnus__> I would like to install Ubuntu to a tertiary drive (that is currently fresh out of the bag) and only use about 40 of the 250 unformatted GB on the drive, but I don't see an option to do so.
[01:05] <trifecta> Anyways, heres my conky config. I can't get the window height right and minimium window size doesn't work right. Any suggestions? http://paste.ubuntu.com/91902/
[01:05] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: sudo sed 's/hardy/intrepid/' sources.list > sources.list-intrepid  gives this message "bash: sources.list-intrepid: Permission denied"
[01:05] <david_28> hey guys! I have a MAJOR problem in ubuntu I cant click on anything thats on my desktop of in my web browser
[01:05] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: ok, before you left last time.. i said...   sudo -i... then enter your password
[01:05] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: how are you installing?
[01:05] <emilien> need help with flash makes browser crash , get segementaion fault from terminal
[01:05] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: Off of a LiveCD.
[01:06] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: sed: can't read sources.list: No such file or directory
[01:06] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: ok done
[01:06] <david_28> hej ! jag har problem med att mina fönster fryser och jag kan inte trycka på något i ubuntu 8.10 ! vad kan vara problemet?
[01:06] <asterix> emilien: what browser are you using?
[01:06] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: ok..  cd /etc/apt
[01:06] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: now it workd..   sed 's/hardy/intrepid/' sources.list > sources.list-intrepid
[01:06] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: I did that
[01:06] <onetinsoldier> ok
[01:06] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: and  sed 's/hardy/intrepid/' sources.list > sources.list-intrepid worked
[01:06] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: now?
[01:06] <emilien> asterix: firefox
[01:06] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: I've found the live CD's to be great, but if you have more specific partitioning needs, and if you know what you are doing, the alternate CD works really well for that
[01:06] <waya-work-s> aptitude safe-upgrade
[01:07] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: I'm at the point where it gives me the choice between automatically resizing my second drive, formatting the entierty of one of my three drives, or guided-use the largest contiguous free space, or Manual.
[01:07] <craig1709> Wireless is stuck at "requesting a network address..." - argh! any ideas?
[01:07] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: now...  less sources.list-intrepid   ..look the file over.. does it look ok?
[01:07] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: go with manual
[01:07] <Stanlin> Hi, May i play Crysis on Ubuntu?
[01:07] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: do I now type "aptitude safe-upgrade"?
[01:07] <asterix> emilien: have you tried another browser to see if flash is crashing there too?
[01:07] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: no
[01:07] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: alright.
[01:07] <CaneToad> hischild, problem worked around, so thanks, but the question is...how did a dbm database get into /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/Unincorp - other users have had the same problem...
[01:07] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: that's what I figured, but I'm a bit lost from there.
[01:07] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: take this slowly......
[01:07] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: That will give you very precise control over partition size, ordering, etc.
[01:07] <mn> If I boot from live cd and run "cp -r /dev/sda1/* /dev/sda2" and enter the correct lines in the GRUB config file, what else do I have to do to get this to work.  It is giving me errors about logging in, saying it is skipping $HOME/.drmc and that GDM couldn't write to $HOME.  It's seems that I may need to change the permissions, but how do I do this?
[01:07] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: how I escape from that?
[01:07] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: don't be too quick
[01:08] <waya-work-s> Stanlin: yes
[01:08] <Cygnus__> right.
[01:08] <trifecta> Anyways, heres my conky config. I can't get the window height right and minimium window size doesn't work right. Any suggestions? http://paste.ubuntu.com/91902/ HELLO?
[01:08] <waya-work-s> it runs under wine
[01:08] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: ctrl+c
[01:08] <waya-work-s> !wine
[01:08] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: Do I then make a new partition table?
[01:08] <dannetwork> does any one know how i can set up a private chat room for the ppl on my home net work
[01:08] <hischild> CaneToad, dunno. How'd u fix it?
[01:08] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: ctrl+c doesnt work,, its stuck on "END"
[01:08] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: I just don't want to accidentally format one of my drives.  That would be... annoying.
[01:08] <CaneToad> hischild, I moved it aside and zeroed it like you said
[01:08] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: Make sure you have figured out which drive is the one you are trying to edit
[01:08] <emilien> asterix:  tried opera which didn't work either
[01:08] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: ok out of it
[01:08] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: fist of all.. we have not made the /etc/apt/sources.list point to Intrepid.. yet
[01:08] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: next step?
[01:08] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: :)
[01:08] <onetinsoldier> first*
[01:09] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: now?
[01:09] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: fortunately, there's an undo button.  How handy
[01:09] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: Yeah, that button is there untill you press the commit button, i beleive
[01:09] <asterix> emilien: I actually had a similar problem with flash crashing opera and firefox both...  making sure I had the latest version of flash seemed to help but the problem seems to persist for me.
[01:09] <trifecta> so is steam and source compatibility better with wine nowadays?
[01:09] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: i would just like you to compare the  sources.list file and the sources.list-intrepid file... does the intrepid one look all good?
[01:09] <trifecta> or winex
[01:09] <n8tuser> dannetwork -> let them join your #ownchannel
[01:10] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: Do I want to /dev/sdc If I'm looking to put a partition on the third drive that's currently RAW, I want to make a new partition table there, correct?
[01:10] <asterix> emilien: I just got a new computer and thankfully there's no problem on my fresh install.  You might try a full removal of firefox and flash and then reinstalling them.
[01:10] <bizthepirate> How does one open a .pax archive, like the ones found on Mac OS? I have pax installed, but the man pages really don't help much...
[01:10] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: i would know
[01:10] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: can u see it?
[01:10] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: i wouldnt know
[01:10] <hischild> CaneToad, good to hear.
[01:10] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: you can pastebin them
[01:11] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: (the other drives are aptly named /sda and /sdb, and are the appropriate sizes for my first and second drive.)
[01:11] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: what file?
[01:11] <eternaljoy> !pastebin
[01:11] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: if the drive you are looking to put it on is currently blank, with no partitions, then I believe so. If the sizes all seem right, then sdc is probably right
[01:11] <emilien> asterix:i have latest flash and firefox , flash is recognized , just dosn't work =\ , think firefox reinstall is called for
[01:11] <david_28> hey guys! I have a MAJOR problem in ubuntu I cant click on anything thats on my desktop of in my web browser
[01:11] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: both the /etc/apt/sources.list and the /etc/apt/sources.list-intrepid files.. pastebin them so i can see them
[01:11] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: It names them in the order that it finds them, sda, b, c, usualy as they are listed in the bios
[01:11] <trifecta> i don't understand you david_28
[01:12] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: Ah, here we go.
[01:12] <david_28> trifecta: ok I will explain
[01:12] <CaneToad> hischild would you happen to know anything about configuring audio... the recent 8.10 updates seem to have broken my audio
[01:12] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: yeah, it just changed a the blank /sdc to 250 GB of free space.
[01:12] <hapless> david_28: try ctrl+alt+f2 (sends u to console) then ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to desktop
[01:12] <Cygnus__> Then just make a new partition
[01:12] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91904/
[01:12] <onetinsoldier> ok
[01:12] <david_28> trifecta: my "windows" freezes and then I cant click on anything I cant even terminate my windows
[01:12] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: yup
[01:12] <trifecta> david_28, what are your system specs/
[01:13] <david_28> hapless: well this accures even after reboots
[01:13] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91905/
[01:13] <dannetwork> can some one help me in an other chat i need to set up a chat room that you have to be on my net wrok to get on
[01:13] <onetinsoldier> k
[01:13] <Halitech> david_28, are you running compiz?
[01:13] <Guest81012> hows ubuntu kde 4 doing???  I heard there are a lot of issues.    Is it worth trying or should I stay with 3.5
[01:13] <david_28> trifecta: I got a Toshiba Tecra 1
[01:13] <gogzmer> CaneToad: I had the same problem when I updated the kernel as apt suggested, but when it broke my sound, I just selected the past kernel from grub instead
[01:13] <trifecta> give me specs
[01:13] <david_28> Halitech: yes but I have it turned off
[01:13] <trifecta> not the model
[01:13] <n8tuser> david_28 -> you can get to ctrl+alt+f1  login and type top to see which process is hogging up the cpu
[01:13] <CaneToad> gogzmer, I'll try that...thanks for the clue
[01:13] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91904/    and   http://paste.ubuntu.com/91905/
[01:13] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: looks good at first glance.. let me take a close look
[01:13] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: Because I went with manual, will I have to manually create a swap file, or does Ubuntu do that from within it's own partition?
[01:13] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: ok
[01:14] <trifecta> david_28, can you open a normal terminal?
[01:14] <gogzmer> dannetwork: Litterally just tell whomever to /join #[whateveryouwanttocalltheroom] and they all will be in the same room
[01:14] <david_28> trifecta: yes i can
[01:14] <trifecta> just type top
[01:14] <Guest81012> hows ubuntu kde 4 doing???  I heard there are a lot of issues.    Is it worth trying or should I stay with 3.5
[01:14] <trifecta> in the terminal
[01:14] <dannetwork> what if they are on a windows computer
[01:14] <Guest81012> hows ubuntu kde 4 doing???  I heard there are a lot of issues.    Is it worth trying or should I stay with 3.5
[01:14] <hischild> CaneToad, hmm not really. Tried the different sound optiosn?
[01:14] <david_28> trifecta: yeah
[01:15] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: ok..have you made nay bakup of the 'sources.list' file?
[01:15] <onetinsoldier> any*
[01:15] <hischild> CaneToad, sorry if im kinda slow, trying to do death toll in left 4 dead
[01:15] <trifecta> david_28, whats your cpu usage
[01:15] <n8tuser> dannetwork -> let them join your #ownchannel  -- it does not matter windows or mac or linux, get them to freenode and create the channel
[01:15] <trifecta> and what process is using most of it
[01:15] <gogzmer> Cygnus__:  you will have to do it. THe way I would recomend partitioning a drive is to have a 2GB swap partition at the end of the drive, a 50 GB root (/) partition at the front of the drive, and fill the rest with a data partition where all but SWAP are formatted to ext3
[01:15] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy:   cp -v sources.list sources.list-hardy
[01:15] <david_28> trifecta: 42 % and im updating my system now
[01:15] <hapless> how can I repair an ntfs drive in ubuntu?
[01:15] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: so now I type cp -v sources.list sources.list-hardy  ?
[01:16] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: yes
[01:16] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: under root?
[01:16] <dannetwork> how do i create my own channel
[01:16] <trifecta> david_28, is it consistently around 42%
[01:16] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: Gotcha.  Should I worry about a sperate /root and /home?
[01:16] <trifecta> ?
[01:16] <CaneToad> hischild, yeah I can't get any sound out of it with any of the sound devices, even with a USB phone
[01:16] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: yes
[01:16] <gogzmer> dannetwork: dude, 5 people have told you...a channel only exists because some user is in it
[01:16] <n8tuser> Cygnus__ -> 50 gig for /  root is way too much, even a 10gig is more than enuff, save the other space for another partition
[01:16] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: to do a major upgrade.. you will be doing everything as root
[01:16] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: ok done
[01:16] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: ok.. good
[01:16] <david_28> trifecta: nope
[01:17] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: next step? :)
[01:17] <Halitech> dannetwork, read up http://freenode.net/faq.shtml
[01:17] <trifecta> hmm
[01:17] <hischild> CaneToad, default questions first then. It's all set to alsa?
[01:17] <trifecta> so its not resources
[01:17] <hischild> CaneToad, nothing is muted? Do you hear any noise? static perhaps?
[01:17] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: now..   cp -v sources.list-intrepid sources.list
[01:17] <arthur> i have a question i am using ubuntu right now was going to install mandriva, i can use the same home partition for both os's?
[01:17] <trifecta> do you know how to open the system monitor?
[01:17] <dannetwork> ok thanks i will read up
[01:17] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: done
[01:17] <david_28> trifecta: yes I know
[01:17] <trifecta> gnome-system-monitor in terminal
[01:17] <trifecta> oh ok
[01:17] <Cygnus__> n8tuser: Yeah, 30 for root does seem like a lot.  If I have a /home file, only system files are stored on Root by default, right?
[01:17] <david_28> trifecta: Im quite experinced
[01:17] <trifecta> oh
[01:17] <trifecta> ok
[01:17] <trifecta> sorry :D
[01:17] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: ok..  cross your fingers....   apt-get update
[01:18] <david_28> trifecta: np :D
[01:18] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: ok :P
[01:18] <gogzmer> Cygnus__:  I usually don't because I like to just throw all my data into a /data folder, so I make that a partition. If you are more like the kind of person who uses "my documents" for everything, you can create a home partition, otherwise you can turn /home into a symlink that points to the data partition
[01:18] <trifecta> not resources then
[01:18]  * Cygnus__ crosses fingers for eternaljoy too.
[01:18] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: if you dont see me again today, that means it broke :P
[01:18] <david_28> trifecta: I just havent had this problem before
[01:18] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: when that's done...   apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:18] <eternaljoy> Cygnus__: cheers big ears :-)
[01:18] <trifecta> your sure compiz is not running at all?
[01:18] <trifecta> no emerald?
[01:18] <n8tuser> Cygnus__ -> yes, only system stuff, so if you make that to another partition and put VM or virtuals..  that would give  you plenty  of ummp
[01:18] <Seiphas> I have a hard drive that's getting read errors on every single block. How screwed am I?
[01:18] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: i understand
[01:18] <trifecta> ever had problems with compiz-fusion in the past/
[01:18] <trifecta> ?
[01:18] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: ok here goes.. (holds breath )
[01:18] <hololight> while using nautilus I can not 'browse' windows pc's / shares.... but if i manually type in the address I can access a particular pc's shares.... thoughts?
[01:18] <david_28> trifecta: I turned my compiz off because i thought it caused the problem
[01:19] <trifecta> oh
[01:19] <CaneToad> hischild, if I go into sound preferences, whether I select autodetect, or any of the alsa or oss outputs, clicking test gives no sound at all for any of the options
[01:19] <Cygnus__> n8tuser, gogzmer: So, if I were to make a 10 GB root, 30 GB /home or /data, and a 2 GB swap, I would be good?
[01:19] <trifecta> do you have ccsm installed?
[01:19] <gogzmer> n8tuser: ive used up almost 50GB of space for root...mostly just from installing random packages, and gnome takes up a few gigs by itself
[01:19] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: ill be back if it works,, if not, ill be back tomorrow :P
[01:19] <markolonius> is there a way to apply permissions recrusivly to just files? and not dirs?
[01:19] <n8tuser> Cygnus__ -> plenty enuff
[01:19] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: there may be problems getting all the packages to install.. but i'll be here to help you work through them
[01:19] <david_28> trifecta: hmm I dont think so but im not sure
[01:19] <n8tuser> gogzmer -> you have installed everything on the dvd?
[01:19] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: sure, it just depends on the number of apps you will be installing, as well as how much data you will be putting in there
[01:20] <david_28> trifecta: Ubuntu has worked fine for several weeks
[01:20] <Cygnus__> gogzmer, n8tuser: I have two other drives that are NTFS, so I'll actually be most likely dumping all of my files into there anyway.
[01:20] <david_28> trifecta: even months
[01:20] <trifecta> so what did you change?
[01:20] <gogzmer> n8tuser: I often grab random interesting apps out of synaptic
[01:20] <n8tuser> Cygnus__ -> okay, cool
[01:20] <david_28> trifecta: nothing that i can think of
[01:20] <Cygnus__> gogzmer, n8user:  I can store non-system files in root if I wish?
[01:20] <Raerlynn> hey guys, I'm having some problems installing it from a Live USB drive
[01:20] <trifecta> that's odd
[01:20] <trifecta> maybe its your mouse? hahah
[01:20] <elliottm> I'm running 64-bit kubuntu, and I have 4gb of ram installed, but linux is only seeing 3.2gb of it. I ran memtest86 on moth modules individusally, and there were no errors
[01:21] <goffio> hello
[01:21] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: yes, but there usually isn't a good reason
[01:21] <david_28> trifecta: but u know now it works again but it will only work for awhile
[01:21] <n8tuser> Cygnus__ -> you can, but it doesn not make sense
[01:21] <elliottm> why isn't ubuntu recognizing all of my ram?
[01:21] <Cygnus__> n8tuser, gogzmer: Alright.
[01:21] <trifecta> lol 4gb
[01:21] <actafool_> who is the best movie player for ubuntu ..
[01:21] <actafool_> ?
[01:21] <goffio> is it mandatory to apt-get upgrade before apt-get dist-upgrade?
[01:21] <trifecta> wth would you need all of that for?
[01:21] <david_28> trifecta: I started to notice this when I was using firefox and couldnt scroll down or do anything
[01:22] <actafool_> cause i cant stat my subttitles with totem player
[01:22] <gogzmer> elliottm: perhaps it doesn't like sheep?
[01:22] <trifecta> maybe it's a mouse driver issue
[01:22] <Cygnus__> trifecta: Computing mersenne primes.
[01:22] <gogzmer> ;)
[01:22] <onetinsoldier> goffio: no
[01:22] <actafool_> start*
[01:22] <trifecta> can you use all of the keyboard commands?
[01:22] <elliottm> trifecta: it's combination of future-proofing and really good deals
[01:22] <Cygnus__> That's what I use RAM for.
[01:22] <david_28> trifecta: this is a laptop and I have tried an external mouse
[01:22] <trifecta> oh ok
[01:22] <hischild> CaneToad, hmm odd ... set it to autodetect and run alsamixer in terminal
[01:22] <trifecta> heh
[01:22] <trifecta> i have 1 gig
[01:22] <goffio> whohoo! then i don't have to dl those 200M to upgrade the distro, that's good ;)
[01:22] <elliottm> gogzmer: nice try, but it was certified sheep compatible
[01:22] <trifecta> and i cant even use half of it in ubuntu
[01:22] <trifecta> with tons of crap running
[01:23] <trifecta> no swap usage
[01:23] <Cygnus__> Trifecta: Actually, no.  It's for any copies of Vista within 100 yards.  They suck in ambient RAM, and slow down your system if they can't leech your memory off.
[01:23] <Raerlynn> it doesn't seem to want to format the drive
[01:23] <actafool_> tell me one good movie player
[01:23] <actafool_> ?
[01:23] <trifecta> im on xp
[01:23] <trifecta> dual boot
[01:23] <elliottm> trifecta: ihad 1gb and normally did fine, but some of the programs i weire, especailly for project euler, push it
[01:23] <trifecta> to 8.04
[01:23] <goffio> actafool: try vlc
[01:23] <trifecta> ahh
[01:23] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: and if they find no other memory to leach, they sap the user's inteligence, proliferating the use of vista
[01:23] <mwilson_> hey guys.  Any idea why, after playihng a video, any video after that has funky colors?
[01:23] <Kelen> How to copy more folders at once in CL?
[01:23] <actafool_> okay ty
[01:23] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: If I said that I had 3GB of RAM, would it change the perferred size of my swap file?
[01:23] <elliottm> but yes, does anyone knowwhy ubuntu isn't seeing 1/5 of my memory?
[01:24] <trifecta> how can i set conky to be always on the bottom
[01:24] <goffio> actafool_: or you have the default player, totem
[01:24] <david_28> trifecta: im running compiz again now
[01:24] <trifecta> oh
[01:24] <trifecta> idk maybe somebody else can you help you out better
[01:24] <trifecta> this is an odd one
[01:24] <caeroe> ok, i tried stable and beta flash drivers, stable and beta nvidia drivers, multiple browsers, and i still cannot get flash to work reasonable in fullscreen in 8.10 x64.   is there anything i can do?
[01:24] <caeroe> it's very choppy
[01:24] <Stanlin> Hi, May i play Crysis on Ubuntu?
[01:25] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: If you don't want it to be able to swap, and possibly slow down things, but still keep going if it runs out of ram, don't make a swap partition. With no swap space, the OS will just give low memory errors if you reach the limit
[01:25] <Kelen> is there any idea for cp command? copy more folders at once.
[01:25] <Joel_> hi, i'm still having trouble with my wireless on my dell inspiron e1505 even after following the tutorial
[01:25] <trifecta> yes stanlin
[01:25] <mwilson_> hey guys.  Any idea why, after playihng a video, any video after that has funky colors?
[01:25] <trifecta> my swap is too big
[01:25] <caeroe> on the plus side i can see if my gaming performance is better with 180.18 drivers...
[01:25] <trifecta> im going to make it samller
[01:25] <gogzmer> mwilson_: too much acid?...oh wait, that would be videos sounding funky colors ;)
[01:25] <elliottm> i know my motherboard upports >3.2gb, because memtest86 said it was able to test like 3.7 at once
[01:25] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: I understand the usage of a swap file, I'm just wondering.  Windows throws a huge hissy if you don't have any.  I'll just throw 2GB to be safe.   Should the root partion be set to primary?
[01:26] <Raerlynn> any reason why when formatting the drive it seems to stall out? It's a new hard drive
[01:26] <mwilson_> gogzmer that's cute.
[01:26] <trifecta> yeah i hate windows paging
[01:26] <Joel_> hi, i'm still having trouble with my wireless on my dell inspiron e1505 even after following the tutorial
[01:26] <Cygnus__> Gogzmer: and the rest set to logical?
[01:26] <boxefaq|off> does anyone know how much space the default 8.10 install takes?
[01:26] <Cygnus__> Joel_: Make sure that the switch is set to "More Magic?"
[01:26] <Cygnus__> ^_^
[01:26] <mwilson_> gogzmer: seriously...  noticed itfirst after using mplayer.
[01:26] <hischild> CaneToad, anything set to M there?
[01:26] <caeroe> ok, a different angled question, anyone on x64 that can play fullscreen flash (such as Hulu) at the same smoothness in XP
[01:26] <mwilson_> now, any file, any player...  BUNK
[01:26] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: linux doesn't care, and will use it if it has it and be quiet if it doesn't...and yes...but the others don't need to be logical, unless you need more than 4 partitions on the drive
[01:26] <trifecta> who uses conky here/
[01:26] <Seiphas> I have a hard drive that's getting read errors on every single block with e2fsck. How screwed am I?
[01:27] <elliottm> Joel_: what card/chipset do you have?
[01:27] <caeroe> hate to have to boot windows just to watch a video
[01:27] <Stanlin> trifecta: do you have any guide that makes that possible?
[01:27] <kingxkobra> will someone help me get a 45 or 50
[01:27] <trifecta> stanlin
[01:27] <goffio> mwilson_, well at least that one clue, you will have to check to video libs/drivers for errors
[01:27] <trifecta> go on
[01:27] <gogzmer> mwilson_: any other vid players do it? Is it only limited to certain vid encodings?
[01:27] <Joel_> the broadcom 1390
[01:27] <trifecta> try wine or winex in google
[01:27] <elliottm> caeroe: in KDE, kaffeine is a great player, it hasn't failed me yet
[01:27] <trifecta> should be a tutorial
[01:27] <david_28> trifecta: I updated my system and it seems to work again
[01:28] <trifecta> hmm
[01:28] <kingxkobra> 50 or 45 for 4 1 mnths
[01:28] <goffio> mwilson_, try putting the progs on verbose logging, check logs
[01:28] <trifecta> idk david_28  that's really weird
[01:28] <Joel_> and Cygnus__ : :-P
[01:28] <caeroe> if i could rip the streams to FLV it'd play fine, i can't though
[01:28] <Halitech> Seiphas, very, got any vaseline?
[01:28] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: so, should my swap file and whatnot be logical or physical?  And what's the difference anyway?
[01:28] <caeroe> kinda borked, i hate xp but i like watching Hulu at fullscreen and high rez
[01:28] <trifecta> caeroe, im on X64 and i see all flash vids fine
[01:28] <kingxkobra> 45 or 50 plz
[01:28] <trifecta> the only issue i have is with flahs overlays
[01:29] <trifecta> flash*
[01:29] <w3wsrmn> kingxkobra: The hell are you on about?
[01:29] <trifecta> x64
[01:29] <keithclark> I have a Compaq R4000 laptop here and I'd like to use it with the SVideo out port but I'm not sure how to get it working with Ubuntu 8.10
[01:29] <Raerlynn> any reason why when formatting the drive it seems to stall out? It's a new hard drive
[01:29] <elliottm> Joel_: broadcom :(
[01:29] <corollax> Would someone here with an updated version of Intrepid Ibex type a quick command into their terminal for me?
[01:29] <caeroe> hmm  what video card?  i'm using nvidia 8800gt 512mb, i tried 177 and 180 beta drivers
[01:29] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: I always try to keep partitions physical, but to be honest, I can't remember what the difference is...wikipedia perhaps?
[01:29] <ldiamond> I'm trying to set Ubuntu in french, but when I do, like half of the stuffs are in french, the rest stays in english... how do I fix that?
[01:29] <kingxkobra> a 45 or 50 on my account for 4 1 mnths
[01:29] <corollax> I'd like to see the output of "ls -l /usr/sbin/update-grub"
[01:29] <elliottm> Joel_: how much google searching have you done?
[01:29] <Joel_> a lot
[01:29] <caeroe> i tried flash 10 alpha for x64, still really choppy fullscreen
[01:30] <trifecta> my vids tear a bit
[01:30] <Joel_> google is usually more first source of help
[01:30] <killerbyte> hello
[01:30] <trifecta> especially when playing "HD" youtube vids..
[01:30] <corollax> I'm trying to track down a bug:  Would one of you mind giving me the output of "ls -l /usr/sbin/update-grub"?
[01:30] <kingxkobra> i need a 45 or 50
[01:30] <gogzmer> Does anyone know why GParted refuses to resize an ext3 partition from the Live CD, telling me I need to run e2fsck, even though it just ran it itself in the previous step?
[01:30] <CaneToad> hischild I've made some progress.. turns out the alsa volume was down, and the "Test" buttons don't turn it up...  I'm still not able to use audio with skype.... symptoms from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/273693
[01:31] <caeroe> i can download youtube, not hulu vids though... last i tried...
[01:31] <inktri> !hostname
[01:31] <hashbrowns> Can someone help me correctly setup GRUB for dualbooting XP x64 and Ubuntu 64bit?  I've tried several guides but I don't quite understand them.
[01:31] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: sorry, Primary, not Physical...
[01:31] <w3wsrmn> kingxkobra: You make absolutely no sense. If you need Ubuntu related help, ask.
[01:31] <Cygnus__> but I should keep them all primary?
[01:31] <boxefaq|off> does anyone know how much space the default 8.10 install takes?
[01:31] <trifecta> hash
[01:31] <trifecta> do you have two hdds?
[01:31] <joeb3_> caeroe, i've got the flash alpha and I can watch hulu and youtube, no problem.
[01:31] <gogzmer> boxefaq|off: which default?
[01:31] <trifecta> one with ub and one with win?
[01:31] <kingxkobra> oh im in the wrong room aint i
[01:32] <hashbrowns> triefecta: three hdds but ubuntu and windows are on the same physical drive
[01:32] <trifecta> oh
[01:32] <boxefaq|off> gogzmer, ubuntu 8.10 w/gnome
[01:32] <elliottm> I'm running 64-bit kubuntu, and I have 4gb of ram installed, but linux is only seeing 3.2gb of it. I ran memtest86 on moth modules individusally, and there were no errors. I know my motherboard support it, so what's the problem?
[01:32] <goffio> ﻿boxefaq|off: like 4G i think
[01:32] <kingxkobra> srry guys
[01:32] <gogzmer> Cygnus__:  If you can, I would say so
[01:32] <trifecta> you have to make two partitions
[01:32] <trifecta> obviously
[01:32] <caeroe> joeb3_: i can too, just fullscreen is choppy.    it seems better in 180.18 nvidia drivers though... good enough i think now
[01:32] <killerbyte> please tell me what is the best way to mount internal disk file systems so that my user account can write to it?
[01:32] <trifecta> uh i havent done it in along time. i use to seperate drives
[01:33] <hashbrowns> trifecta: I've done that. windows is on partition 1 and ubuntu is on like 5 or something.
[01:33] <killerbyte> I have 2 file systems I want to read and write to at the moment
[01:33] <trifecta> and set the ubuntu drive to master and the windows drive to GRUB boot options
[01:33] <elliottm> Joel_: I wish i could help you, i did a lot of stuff with wireless last year, but nothing with broadcom stuff
[01:33] <trifecta> you need to make it so that GRUB is on the default boot drive
[01:33] <goffio> killerbyte, what FSs?
[01:33] <Stanlin> how to mount an ISO image?
[01:34] <killerbyte> both fat32
[01:34] <killerbyte> goffio,
[01:34] <trifecta> and then add an option to boot to the windows partition in GRUB
[01:34] <hashbrowns> trifecta: how do I do that?
[01:34] <trifecta> eh, lemme look around
[01:34] <killerbyte> goffio, sda2 and sda5 i think
[01:35] <hischild> CaneToad, checking bug. Wasn't skype OSS?
[01:35] <arthur> what is a good backup tool from the repositories ?
[01:35] <hashbrowns> trifecta:  I was following this guide here  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo but i dont understand Restore the boot sector e.g. dd if=/media/hda/mbr.bin of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1
[01:35] <goffio> killerbyte: i would do that with mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /pathto/mountpoint
[01:35] <gogzmer> arthur: cp
[01:35] <gogzmer> :)
[01:35] <arthur> lol
[01:35] <killerbyte> goffio, only root can do that i thought?
[01:35] <trifecta> man, i don't know, it was so long ago i forgot how i did it :(
[01:35] <boxefaq|off> gogzmer, 4 gigs ?
[01:35] <killerbyte> goffio, no?
[01:35] <goffio> killerbyte: yes, sorry prepend a "sudo" before all
[01:36] <goffio> it'll ask for your paswd
[01:36] <hashbrowns> trifecta: do you know anyone that is good with dualboot setups?
[01:36] <CaneToad> hischild, I have not much knowhow about the relationship of OSS and ALSA and how different software uses them....are they just two separate APIs that are supposed to be able to be used side by side, OSS predating ALSA?
[01:36] <gogzmer> boxefaq|off: huh? Size of the default gui install? sounds about right
[01:36] <arthur> i noticed there are a few in the universe, wasnted easy gui one....
[01:36] <straterra> Does wubi function like a normal ubuntu installation?
[01:36] <trifecta> i dont like having two OSs on one physical disk
[01:36] <gogzmer> CaneToad: I think that is true, yes (at least that is how my machine seems to be using them)
[01:37] <trifecta> i dont know anybody
[01:37] <goffio> CaneToad, OSS is an older interface to audio hardware, ALSA is newer but mantains a subsystem that emulates it for older software
[01:37] <trifecta> try different guides
[01:37] <killerbyte> goffio, root account only has write access though
[01:37] <caeroe> bah... still too choppy in hi-rez fullscreen on hulu, i still need to boot xp for it then
[01:37] <Stanlin> trifecta: darling, how to install unreal tournament 3 on linux?? i cant find a guide on google
[01:37] <hashbrowns> trifecta: Well I chose to set it up like this because of read/write performance OS on one HDD games on another and recorded footage on the thrid.
[01:37]  * deeri`pening brb mandiin wnet ....
[01:37] <gogzmer> killerbyte: chown to whichever user you want to give access to, or chmod to something that gives them access
[01:38] <goffio> killerbyte: add -o user
[01:38] <hischild> CaneToad, you run a 64bit system?
[01:38] <killerbyte> gogzmer, what does chmod do?
[01:39] <hashbrowns> trifecta: do you know what "Restore the boot sector e.g. dd if=/media/hda/mbr.bin of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1" means from that guide I linked you?
[01:39] <trifecta> oh restoring the boot sector is just to restore the old boot sector you backed up
[01:39] <hischild> CaneToad, google a bit about OSS and ALSA, long story to explain that
[01:39] <gogzmer> killerbyte: chmod alters the permissions of the file/directory....man chmod will give you more info
[01:39] <goffio> killerbyte: if you want to do all that from /etc/fstab the entire line would be like the following
[01:39] <bhsx> does anyone know how to boot a usb install of 8.10 in vbox?  or qemu even?
[01:39] <CaneToad> hischild, no 32
[01:39] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: What is this about extended partiions and their creation?
[01:39] <gogzmer> !chmod
[01:39] <bhsx> instead of rebooting into the usb install...
[01:39] <hashbrowns> trifecta: how would I do that?
[01:39] <Stanlin> bhsx: Virtual machines doesnt support USB booting
[01:39] <trifecta> i think dd is just the command
[01:40] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: In the installer?
[01:40] <bhsx> you can boot usb with qemu, if i just boot the iso off it, for example
[01:40] <goffio> /dev/sda2    /pathto/mountpoint  vfat   user  0   0
[01:40] <Halitech> bhsx, take a look at mobalivecd if you want to do it from windows
[01:40] <trifecta> those are the commands
[01:40] <bhsx> thanks, i'll google that
[01:40] <hashbrowns> trifecta: okay.
[01:41] <bluntz> it would be neat if man pages could be embedded in the irc channel
[01:41] <trifecta> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
[01:41] <gogzmer> bluntz: I am sure there is some bot somewhere that does that
[01:41] <trifecta> stanlin i dont know
[01:41] <bluntz> handy too
[01:41] <trifecta> ill look
[01:41] <gogzmer> bluntz: but I wouldn't want all of that in here...to much info, and often very long
[01:41] <gogzmer> bluntz: but a PM bot would be cool
[01:41] <bhsx> what about the file structure of the usb install?  shouldn't it be virtualizeable?
[01:42] <bluntz> yup
[01:42] <Stanlin> booting from USB on VM is impossible
[01:42] <bluntz> but wood it b a bot that dreamed it was a man?
[01:42] <hischild> CaneToad, pastebin the output if you run skype from a terminal please.
[01:42] <killerbyte> gogzmer, goffio is there a way to mount it with 1 command so that my user account can write to the file system?
[01:42] <Torgoton> How long should a netboot install take after selecting a mirror? I selected one 40 minutes ago... zzzzzz
[01:42] <trifecta> Stanlin, isnt there a linux port for UT3
[01:42] <trifecta> ?
[01:42] <goffio> gogzmer,bluntz: besides isn't it easier to type it in a terminal ?
[01:43] <Halitech> Torgoton, dpends on the mirror you selected and the connection speed
[01:43] <trifecta> I would check on the UT3 forums
[01:43] <Stanlin> trifecta: nope :( we are waiting 2 years already
[01:43] <arktvrvs> how to i allow directory listin in apache? ive done it before but ubuntu's layout of its configs it pretty botched imho
[01:43] <killerbyte> gogzmer, which is better to use? chmod or chown
[01:43] <RabidLockerGnome> hey guys, using 8.10, have a geforce fx 5200, installed driver, restarted, direct rendering is enabled, but compiz won't stat
[01:43] <gogzmer> killerbyte: after you have it mounted, run chmod 777 <dir it's mounted to> and that will do it
[01:43] <RabidLockerGnome> start*
[01:43] <bluntz> hehe was wonderin when youd say it
[01:43] <bluntz> hehe
[01:43] <gogzmer> killerbyte: Depends, chown is usually better, but it is more of a security issue than anything...
[01:43] <Torgoton> Halitech: I have a VERY slow machine too. Any way to tell what it's doing? The alt-f4 log doesn't have any activity for 40 minutes. top is not available.
[01:43] <goffio> killerbyte, well yes: this would be the command: "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /pathto/mountpoint -o user"
[01:44] <killerbyte> goffio,  thank you
[01:44] <gogzmer> killerbyte: if it is just you using the machine, and you have taken all other security precautions, like firewalls, etc, to protect from attack, either is fine
[01:44] <killerbyte> gogzmer, thank you
[01:44] <Halitech> Torgoton, hard to say then, I recall when I installed on a P266 laptop with 96 meg of ram it took quite a while to install
[01:44] <gogzmer> killerbyte: most welcome
[01:44] <Torgoton> Halitech: Luxury! I have a 486 with 36MB RAM. :)
[01:44] <Gun_Smoke> was there a massive upgrades release within the last couple of days?
[01:44] <bluntz> takes my 166 ibm tpad all day
[01:44] <Halitech> Torgoton, ouch, I hope you are doing a text only install
[01:45] <trifecta> yikes, that suck Stanlin
[01:45] <trifecta> sucks*
[01:45] <Stanlin> trifecta: i know darling
[01:45] <gogzmer> Gun_Smoke: i'd say more like a week, but yeah...not massive, but a kernel update and some others...so a handful?
[01:45] <results> anyone know how to get wine to see serial port on 8.04
[01:45] <killerbyte> goffio, that command gives error
[01:45] <Torgoton> Halitech: So far it hasn't really started to install... it started the network, did DHCP, asked for a mirror.... then... nothing. Is there anything I can do to check on it?
[01:45] <killerbyte> goffio, mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,
[01:45] <Gun_Smoke> gogzmer, 222MB worth today just didn't seem right.
[01:46] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: Alright.  20 GB root, 20GB home, 2GB swap.
[01:46] <killerbyte> goffio, sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /media/1 -o killerbyte
[01:46] <Torgoton> Halitech: Good signature from "Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key...."
[01:46] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: sounds good
[01:46] <Cygnus__> Primary
[01:46] <jkristheking> can someone help me with my brightness problem on my gateway laptop? please thnk you.
[01:46] <Cygnus__> all primary.
[01:46] <happyface> can someone help me install xubuntu using a usb external hard drive?
[01:46] <gogzmer> Gun_Smoke: how long since you last updated?
[01:46] <Torgoton> bluntz: This is a ThinkPad 750P!
[01:46] <almark1> Hello, where can I find help setting up midi support for ubuntu studio ibex
[01:46] <bluntz> hehe lucky u
[01:46] <almark1> non usb
[01:46] <gogzmer> Cygnus__:  should hold you in good stead
[01:46] <trifecta> Stanlin, this might help: http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/p3022970.html
[01:46] <trifecta> read up on wine
[01:46] <trifecta> and winex
[01:46] <Torgoton> Halitech: bluntz: I have no CD drive. I installed DOS and moved over the netboot files on floppies. eesh.
[01:47] <Halitech> Torgoton, sit back and pop a few beers
[01:47] <goffio> killerbyte: no sorry if i wasn't clear about it. user is the name of the switch, put it literally without replacing it with your username
[01:47] <trifecta> those are the two ways you get windows games running in linux
[01:47] <Cygnus__> if it doesn't work, I nuke the disk and start over.  That's why I'm doing it on a fresh drive.  I can't loose anything if it messes itself up.
[01:47] <CaneToad> hischild, as per workaround in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/273693 I've created /etc/ld.so.conf.d/alsa32.conf and run sudo ldconfig and now skype runs and stays running.  Before that, certain operations would cause it to spontaneously exit with error Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so
[01:47] <Torgoton> Halitech: Thanks. I'll just sleep on it.
[01:47] <bluntz> I used the boot floppies
[01:47] <r0ny> hi is it possible for me top downgrade using apt-get
[01:47] <killerbyte> goffio, oh right
[01:47] <goffio> killerbyte: it is just an option to mount for enabling user (non root) write access
[01:47] <Torgoton> bluntz: Ubuntu has boot floppies?
[01:47] <bluntz> slid in my wireless card
[01:47] <Halitech> Torgoton, you could have gotten the boot floppies and installed that way instead of installing DOS
[01:47] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: it's always a nice feeling to know you can do that with clean installs
[01:47] <Torgoton> Halitech: What boot floppies?
[01:48] <bluntz> boots deb
[01:48] <Torgoton> bluntz: No fair.
[01:48] <pioov> can someone help me? I've installed sun-jre6 from synaptic, but java plugin does not appear in about:config of firefox
[01:48] <happyface> can someone help me install xubuntu using a usb external hard drive?
[01:48] <bluntz> hehe
[01:48] <Halitech> Torgoton, I think you would use the Debian boot floppies with debootstrap
[01:48] <killerbyte> goffio, sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /media/1 -o user
[01:48] <happyface> can someone help me install xubuntu using a usb external hard drive?
[01:48] <hischild> CaneToad, i see. Good to hear it works
[01:48] <killerbyte> goffio, still doesnt give me write access
[01:48] <goffio> killerbyte: yup, that should do it
[01:48] <bluntz> change the repos
[01:48] <Cygnus__> Can multiple Linus distros share the same swap file?
[01:49] <almark1> does anyone know how to setup midi in ubuntu ibex?
[01:49] <bluntz> to whatever you want
[01:49] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: yes
[01:49] <onetinsoldier> Cygnus__: yes
[01:49] <pioov> Cygnus__:  yes
[01:49] <Cygnus__> like, if I were to dual-boot Ubuntu and Mint. ^_^
[01:49] <gogzmer> first!
[01:49] <killerbyte> goffio, does not work
[01:49] <bluntz> breezy ran fine
[01:49] <jasunto> any ufw experts?
[01:49] <Torgoton> Halitech: ah. Well that's nearly the same thing, isn't it? Last time I tried, I couldn't get it to work. I could INSTALL Debian, then install Ubuntu 6.04, but I'm trying 8.04 because there are 386 netboot files.
[01:49] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: yup, no prob
[01:49] <killerbyte> goffio,  i have unmounted and mounted twice now
[01:49] <Cygnus__> root, free, and swap, all set.
[01:50] <pioov> help please, i install java runtime using synaptic, but the plugin does not work with firefox
[01:50] <goffio> killerbyte: wait, i'm checking with a vfat i have on my pc
[01:50] <jasunto>  i need help with a ufw syntax
[01:50] <killerbyte> goffio, ok thanks
[01:50] <Torgoton> Halitech: Actually, I don't think I had to install, but I had to make a partition, format it, and copy files to it, then run them... so ever harder than using DOS.
[01:50] <shingi> anybody available to help me with Totem player problem?
[01:50] <Halitech> Torgoton, I just use Debian on all my systems now but you should be able to go from 6.06 to 8.04 as they are both LTS
[01:50] <corollax> Install mplayer. >,>
[01:50] <bluntz> etch wont work for me
[01:50] <Torgoton> Halitech: I'm doing a clean install... mostly for kicks. Updating a thinkwiki page when I have it working.
[01:50] <charmarts> hi
[01:50] <bluntz> breezy runs gr8
[01:51] <Adola> Is there any way I can get automatix?
[01:51] <almark1> should I take this to off topic?
[01:51] <killerbyte> gogzmer, i tried sudo chmod 777 /media/1 but it didnt give me write access
[01:51] <Halitech> Torgoton, cool
[01:51] <r0ny> is it possible to downgrade using apt-get?
[01:51] <gogzmer> killerbyte: try writing to it via sudo, like sudo nano
[01:51] <onetinsoldier> r0bby: just one package or two?
[01:51] <Torgoton> Halitech: Maybe I'll come back when it boots... to get the pen working. :)
[01:51] <onetinsoldier> r0ny: just one package or two?
[01:52] <killerbyte> gogzmer, yes that works
[01:52] <shingi> When playing videos (.mov), when I pause the video and then click play to resume playing the totem video player goes blank and I have to close the application and open it again.
[01:52] <Halitech> Torgoton, sounds like an idea :) let us know if you get X working on that system too
[01:52] <ozgurgerilla> Hi can someone help me with my Atheros wireless card please?
[01:52] <adrian007> pioov: installing the JRE isn't enough you need to install the plugin too
[01:52] <Cygnus__> gogo gadget partitioning!
[01:52] <r0ny> onetinsoldier: just want to downgrade my lighttpd
[01:52] <gogzmer> killerbyte: hmm...after you ran chmod, run ls -alh against it...what does the file permission string look like? (the rwx string)
[01:52] <Torgoton> Halitech: Ugh. 320x200 is not very usable... and the video chip driver was never ported to x.org. WD90C24... ancient.
[01:52] <adrian007> pioov; search for java6-plugin in synaptic and try that
[01:53] <Torgoton> Halitech: 1 bit per pixel, too. Sweet.
[01:53] <majnoon> !ot
[01:53] <onetinsoldier> r0ny: yes.. i think that would be ok...
[01:53] <r0ny> onetinsoldier: is a bot
[01:53] <r0ny> kill it
[01:54] <Cygnus__> Okay, Ubuntu is giving me the opportunity to import stuff from my XP installation.  What excatly would it be importing, and to where?  Could I just instead access them through the mounted drive?
[01:54] <gogzmer> Torgoton: 1 bit per pixel...literally black and white...no grey?
[01:54] <onetinsoldier> ??
[01:54] <r0ny> onetinsoldier: sorry
[01:54] <r0ny> i thought you are a bot honestly
[01:54] <orange_tang> anyone have experience with getting ubuntu on laptops, i'm looking for advice
[01:54] <killerbyte> gogzmer, -rwxr-xr-x
[01:54] <r0ny> onetinsoldier: how can i downgrade?
[01:54] <gogzmer> Cygnus__: yes, you can access them later...keep it simple for now and don't import anything
[01:54] <Halitech> Torgoton, whoo hooo sounds like fun to me ~L~
[01:54] <Cygnus__> gogzmer: That's what I figured.
[01:54] <Torgoton> gogzmer: Yep. Well this is a 486 laptop, and the chip doesn't support VESA.
[01:54] <gogzmer> killerbyte: ok, who is the owner?
[01:54] <goffio> killerbyte: i have the correct mount invocation44
[01:54] <gogzmer> Torgoton: lol
[01:55] <killerbyte> gogzmer, root
[01:55] <onetinsoldier> r0ny: ok, np. for the downgrade you might have to do...  apt-get --force-yes install <older_version>  ..i'm still reading
[01:55] <Torgoton> Halitech: I do have a differently-calibrated sense of fun.
[01:55] <Halitech> Torgoton, so I see
[01:55] <Torgoton> gogzmer: It had a VESA TSR for Windows 95 support. ugh.
[01:55] <killerbyte> goffio, ok thanks
[01:55] <ozgurgerilla> Hi can someone help me with my Atheros wireless card please?
[01:55] <shingi> Could somebody please help me with Totem player
[01:55] <goffio> killerbyte: after the -o change the "user" option for this:  "iocharset=utf8,umask=000
[01:55] <nwillettjeffries> @shingi what's the problem?
[01:55] <shingi> When playing videos (.mov), when I pause the video and then click play to resume playing the totem video player goes blank and I have to close the application and open it again.
[01:55] <goffio> killerbyte: (without double quotes)
[01:56] <gogzmer> killerbyte: ok, to get write permisions on that directory, run sudo chmod 777...that gives full permissions to everyone on the system for that directory...add -R to make it recursive
[01:56] <shingi> I mean I get a black screen although the sound will be comming through
[01:56] <gogzmer> goffio: using umask is cheating :) real admins only use chmod
[01:56] <nwillettjeffries> @shingi hmm...obligatory basic questions. You have the appropriate codecs installed
[01:56] <r0ny> onetinsoldier: ok
[01:56] <russ> Hi, can somebody help getting digital video capture to work with my Dell Inspiron 1420 1394 interface?
[01:57] <shingi> hmm, thats a good question. Thought that maybe since its playing the video then the codecs must be there
[01:57] <killerbyte> gogzmer, sudo chmod 777 /media/1 -R didnt give me write access either
[01:57] <nwillettjeffries> so it does play at least briefly?
[01:57] <gogzmer> killerbyte: did the permissions change?
[01:57] <killerbyte> no
[01:58] <onetinsoldier> r0ny: what i am wondering is, where you will get the older version from... i'm thinking i might be wrong about apt-get. you might have to use aptitude
[01:58] <goffio> killerbyte: gogzmer, i'm no expert (just found it on a quick google search) but why is it cheating?
[01:58] <reportingsjr> Hi, I just installed ubuntu studio and it said it was added to grub, but when I started up my computer again it said loading grub... and started up normal ubuntu without showing the grub menu. What should I do?
[01:58] <gogzmer> goffio: is it mounting as read only?
[01:58] <r0ny> onetinsoldier: how can i do the same with aptitude
[01:58] <gogzmer> goffio: it was just a joke...it is the smarter, more elegant way of doing it
[01:58] <shingi> It plays the video ok and I have this problem when I pause the video or open another window e.g. home folder
[01:58] <MasterShrek> how do i reconfigure grub? my vista partition seems to have gone missing
[01:58] <nwillettjeffries> ok so you do have the codecs then. Are you running compiz?
[01:59] <goffio> goffio: but how can be smarter to alter the perms after mounting than to pass an option to mount?
[01:59] <ozgurgerilla> Hi can someone help me with my Atheros wireless card please?
[01:59] <shingi> no
[01:59] <killerbyte> gogzmer, any idea what is wrong?
[01:59] <shingi> I am running 8.10
[01:59] <goffio> goffio: what i try to say is, what advantages does it have?
[01:59] <onetinsoldier> r0ny: you start aptitude, press / to start a seach on the package name. then when you have it highlighted, press Enter, then i think at the bottom it will show the available versions
[01:59] <gogzmer> goffio: I was saying your way, with umask, was better, more elegant :)
[01:59] <onetinsoldier> search*
[01:59] <nwillettjeffries> ok so it's not compiz then. Is it when you open any window at all? are there any other programs that involve video playback running (firefox with flash, etc...)
[02:00] <gogzmer> killerbyte: the only thing I can think of is that it is getting mounted as read only
[02:00] <shingi> Its like it does not want me to pause it or open any other window while the video is playing
[02:00] <gogzmer> killerbyte: otherwise, chmod should work, and you should be able to write to it as root
[02:00] <BlueLaguna> Has anyone here been able to use VirtualBox with VRDP on Ubuntu?
[02:00] <killerbyte> gogzmer, it stays -rwxr-xr-x after chmod anyway
[02:00] <onetinsoldier> r0ny: then you can use the down-arrow to go down and highlight the various versions.  press + to mark for installation
[02:01] <shingi> There are no any other applications running that involve video
[02:01] <goffio> gogzmer: ROFL, i wasn't gettin you pal
[02:01] <nwillettjeffries> shingi, those are the obvious issue I could think of...someone else might know. I'm trying to figure it out right now but no guarantees...
[02:01] <onetinsoldier> r0ny: hen you press  g  start start download and installation
[02:01] <Raerlynn> hrm question: after installation, I let the machine reboot, removed the live disc, but it just goes to a blank screen
[02:01] <Raerlynn> any ideas?
[02:01] <nwillettjeffries> is it just .mov files or all video files?
[02:02] <gogzmer> killerbyte: right, so the only thing I can think of is that it is being mounted as red-only, which is preventing its permissions from allowing anyone to write...but somehow roots come in as able to write, even though it is mounted in such a way that it cant
[02:02] <ozgurgerilla> Hi can someone help me with my Atheros wireless card please?
[02:02] <goffio> Raerlynn, did you try to switch to a console? that would give you the clue if it is only a video problem
[02:02] <Raerlynn> ctrl alt f1 right?
[02:02] <Raerlynn> no response
[02:02] <goffio> yup
[02:02] <Varth> I'm having a problem burning a video DVD with Brasero. Would anyone be interested in helping me out?
[02:02] <shingi> so far I have only tried it with .mov files because those are the only i have got
[02:03] <r0ny> onetinsoldier: thanks
[02:03] <nwillettjeffries> hmm it would be nice to know if it's just .mov files and also whether it's just totem. Like will vlc run it?
[02:03] <goffio> Raerlynn: what about booting into rescue mode from grub, then take a look at /var/log/syslog?
[02:03] <Raerlynn> I don't even get a grub menu
[02:03] <shingi> let me install vlc and see if i still have this issue
[02:03] <nwillettjeffries> ok
[02:03] <Raerlynn> Just bios, Post, and then blank
[02:03] <onetinsoldier> r0ny: yw.. good luck.also, you might have older version in /var/cache/apt/archives which you can use 'dpkg' to install
[02:04] <Raerlynn> trying to boot to live disc
[02:04] <reportingsjr> Hi, I just installed ubuntu studio and it said it was added to grub, but when I started up my computer again it said loading grub... and started up normal ubuntu without showing the grub menu. What should I do?
[02:04] <goffio> Raerlynn, ah then it isn't even booting
[02:04] <Raerlynn> it's wierd. has no problem with windows, and I really want a Linux desktop T_T
[02:05] <cmdbbq> is it possible to have the "window list" panel applet show only icons, and not the names of windows?
[02:05] <Raerlynn> won't boot to a live CD
[02:05] <Raerlynn> or Live USB drive
[02:05] <nwillettjeffries> @raerlynn how much ram you running?
[02:05] <adrian007> Raerlynn: does your hard disk have an operating system on it allready?
[02:05] <Raerlynn> 2GB
[02:05] <Raerlynn> and no it shouldn't
[02:05] <elliottm> I'm running 64-bit kubuntu, and I have 4gb of ram installed, but linux is only seeing 3.2gb of it. I ran memtest86 on both modules individually, and there were no errors. I know my motherboard support it, so what's the problem?
[02:05] <Raerlynn> previously Windows Vista, did a complete reformat
[02:05] <goffio> Raerlynn: if you really want it nothing should stop you from having one. If it won't boot to a liveCD, how did you manage to install ubuntu?
[02:06] <Varth> I'm having a problem burning a video DVD with Brasero. Would anyone be interested in helping me out?
[02:06] <Raerlynn> I used the Live CD
[02:06] <keithclark> Anyone get an svideo out port to work on a laptop under 8.10?
[02:06] <shingi> vlc works sweet
[02:06] <crazy2k> Do you know any addictive multiplayer game for linux?
[02:06] <corollax> *wishes VLC would integrate into firefox*
[02:06] <crazy2k> Oh, and lightweight please.
[02:06] <corollax> crazy2k: how about WoW? <,<
[02:06] <Raerlynn> When I had Windows as my installed OS, it would boot to CD/USB
[02:06] <corollax> World of Warcraft fits your description quite well.
[02:06] <crimsun> corollax: meaning mozilla-plugin-vlc ?
[02:06] <nwillettjeffries> @shing kk great. I've had similar problems with totem in the past... vlc or mplayer are the way to go...
[02:06] <Raerlynn> But when I tried a dual boot, the status bar froze
[02:06] <corollax> crimsun: I shall have to check that out
[02:07] <Raerlynn> Tried a reboot to the USB drive, and did a complete reinstall
[02:07] <goffio> Raerlynn: that is crazy...you mean it booted to livecd but after install it doesn't anymore?
[02:07] <Raerlynn> that's it
[02:07] <shingi> Thanks heaps for your help
[02:07] <nwillettjeffries> no problem. have fun...
[02:07] <goffio> Raerlynn: bios settings for boot device are allright?
[02:07] <crazy2k> corollax: WoW?
[02:08] <nwillettjeffries> @varth is anyone helping you?
[02:08] <Raerlynn> hmm
[02:08] <ubuntu> guys, i need help installing ubuntu. Its this swap file i dont know how much i should put into it.
[02:08] <Varth> Nope.
[02:08] <corollax> crazy2k: world of warcraft. It runs spectacularly in wine.
[02:08] <corollax> ubuntu: How much RAM do you have? How much HD do you have?
[02:08] <Raerlynn> what's "alright"
[02:08] <nwillettjeffries> @varth ok so brasero won't burn a dvd?
[02:08] <Raerlynn> I force a boot to whichever device I want by pressing TAB during boot to pull a boot menu
[02:08] <ubuntu> corollax: I have 4 gigs of ram and i have 8 gigs left that i can dedicate to linux
[02:09] <gogzmer> ubuntu: and do you even want it to swap?
[02:09] <corollax> ubuntu: With 4 gigs of RAM, you may not even need a swap partition.
[02:09] <gogzmer> ubuntu: you don't need a swap file
[02:09] <nwillettjeffries> @ubuntu if it's a laptop you'll probably want a swap file if you want to suspend I think...can someone confirm that?
[02:09] <ubuntu> you guys sure?, and what about this /root thing how much gigs should i put into that?
[02:09] <Varth> nwillettjeffries: Yeah. It lets me add the files and everything, but once I click the burn button on the bottom right and the options dialog comes up, it won't let me actually initiate the burn by clicking the burn button in the dialog.
[02:09] <bluntz> small swap if any
[02:09] <corollax> nwillettjeffries -- I'l look into it.
[02:09] <goffio> Raerlynn, allright would be "boot from CD before trying the hard disks". But if you can get to a menu from POST and select the device from there that's allright too
[02:10] <elliottm> ubuntu I usually give 20gb to "/", and the rest to "/home"
[02:10] <cmdbbq> elliottm, may i pm you?
[02:10] <elliottm> in separate partitions
[02:10] <gogzmer> ubuntu: root should be about 20 GB, especially if you are new to linux and want to play around installing other random applications
[02:10] <Varth> nwillettjeffries: I've tried pretty much all of the options, but the button remains disabled.
[02:10] <mgolisch> it has to be as big as the memory for suspend to disk(hibernate)
[02:10] <Raerlynn> yeah, that works, then it doesn't go anywhere after the partitions
[02:10] <elliottm> cmdbbq: sure
[02:10] <corollax> ubuntu: For security purposes, you should allocate about 1 gig to /var.
[02:10] <Rawbutt> hello... i have 1 quick questions
[02:10] <elliottm> corollax: why?
[02:10] <corollax> elliottm: Log files go there -- you don't want excessive log files clogging up your root partition.
[02:11] <corollax> ellittm: This is ESPECIALLY true if you're doing a server.
[02:11] <nwillettjeffries> that's odd varth. basic questions initally...dvd is in drive? dvd is rewritable or has not been written to before
[02:11] <ubuntu> well, i have 16 gigs that i can use on linux because the real partition where i save all my music and stuff is around 450 gigs
[02:11] <goffio> Raerlynn: if you can't boot from livecd / usb, you won't be able to rescue your system imho
[02:11] <thiebaude1> wow
[02:11] <elliottm> wouldn't make sense to mount /var/long there then?
[02:11] <Cygnus___> Okay, so I got my install up and running, but the display I have plugged into the secondary port on my GPU is flippin' out
[02:11] <Varth> nwillettjeffries: DVD is in drive. It's DVD+R.
[02:11] <corollax> ubuntu: I'm checking on suspend issues. At present, I'd advise you to skip swap entirely.
[02:11] <gogzmer> corollax: unless you don't care about logs, and just pipe them all away to null :D
[02:11] <Raerlynn> yeah, last time this happened I pulled the drive out, slaved it to my desktop and reformatted
[02:11] <ubuntu> ok
[02:11] <corollax> elliottm: At that point, it's really more academic.
[02:11] <nwillettjeffries> kk varth let me look into it
[02:11] <ubuntu> thx every one
[02:11] <Raerlynn> then simply reinstalled windows from there
[02:11] <Rawbutt> im looking to use the "ls" command to see all available files in this one directory
[02:11] <Rawbutt> my command looks like this sorta
[02:11] <ozgurgerilla> Hi can someone help me with my Atheros wireless card please?
[02:11] <corollax> gogzmer: Yeah, but are YOU comfortable without an audit system?
[02:12] <elliottm> corollax: i'll remember that in the future
[02:12] <Varth> nwillettjeffries: Okay. Thank you. Brasero's help files aren't helping at all.
[02:12] <thiebaude1> happy holidays  everyone
[02:12] <Rawbutt> ls -la /home/xxx/music/??? *.mp3
[02:12] <Rawbutt> is that correct
[02:12] <Rawbutt> ?
[02:12] <nwillettjeffries> oh and varth, is it just some files you're burning or a disk image or video?...
[02:12] <corollax> elliottm: I have one for /, one for /var, one for swap, and one for /home
[02:12] <bluntz> atheros needs madwifi
[02:12] <goffio> Raerlynn: i'd took  that as a sign my mobo/controller is broken
[02:12] <Varth> nwillettjeffries: An .avi file.
[02:13] <Raerlynn> hope not, this my laptop =/
[02:13] <gogzmer> corollax: pretty much all well behaved applications that one will run on a server can be set to auto-rotate the log after it gets so big, or a certain ammount of time
[02:13] <nwillettjeffries> kk and internal or external disc burner?
[02:13] <goffio> :S
[02:13] <Raerlynn> a mobo replacement is not an option
[02:13] <gogzmer> corollax: if not, it is easy to set up a quota to monitor it without wasting partitions
[02:13] <Rawbutt> yay i got it working thanks
[02:13] <Rawbutt> *for nothing*
[02:13] <Rawbutt> =]
[02:13] <Raerlynn> it's an MSI Mega Book M675
[02:13] <goffio> Raerlynn: i have a laptop too, and the CD unit has problems too
[02:13] <kdogg> hello m working on a hp a1010n. When I reboot after install, login, it just hangs at a blank screen with the cursor showing.
[02:13] <Raerlynn> That's why I made a USB startup disc. Same error
[02:14] <kdogg> Im*
[02:14] <justmeyogs> hi there, hope someone can help me with some ubuntu questions
[02:14] <goffio> it has false contacts inside the bay, but if i turn off the laptop and make a little pushing/moving around, then turn on again it works for a while
[02:14] <MuZI> What's a good laptop to buy to run ubuntu on oob?
[02:14] <nwillettjeffries> @varth there's no copy protection of any kind on .avi file is there
[02:14] <thiebaude1> MuZI: Dell
[02:15] <ruhaan_jslip> i am looking for an ftp server with an easy to use GUI
[02:15] <goffio> justmeyogs: what questions?
[02:15] <ruhaan_jslip> any help wud be appreciated
[02:15] <MuZI> Any specific model or just the ones they have up on the site?
[02:15] <Varth> nwillettjeffries: Nope. Converted from a wmv off of my cousin's camera.
[02:15] <justmeyogs> can I unstall ubuntu from the CD without having it run the live CD?
[02:15] <gogzmer> ruhaan_jslip: server and gui are nearly oxymorons
[02:15] <draginxx> Is there a program that can recognize my speech and write it down into open office? I know a program like this exist for windows and I was like "Wow holy s* I need this!" :P So help would be greatly appreciated :)
[02:15] <exodus_ms> justmeyogs, alternative cd?
[02:15] <ruhaan_jslip> gogzmer: what do u mnea?
[02:15] <justmeyogs> i only havee the live CD
[02:16] <Torgoton> Halitech: 72 minutes and it started working again.
[02:16] <ruhaan_jslip> i just want something simple to server up select files on my local LAN
[02:16] <exodus_ms> justmeyogs, no, download the alternative cd
[02:16] <kdogg> justmeyogs, what version?
[02:16] <justmeyogs> older version 7.04
[02:16] <Cygnus___> Okay, I've run into a problem while installing the nVidia Accelerated Graphics Driver.  It says "failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
[02:16] <thiebaude1> !intel
[02:16] <ozgurgerilla> Hi can someone help me with my Atheros wireless card please?
[02:16] <goffio> ruhaan_jslisp, in my case i find it easier to configure ssh to do that, i even can connect to the server with filezillaç
[02:17] <Halitech> Torgoton, just need to be patient by the looks of it
[02:17] <justmeyogs> i also get an error when live cd is loading when it detects the laptop is a IBM thinkpad
[02:17] <gogzmer> ssh-ing into a server and configuring whatever service you are trying to run often yields better results than attempting to go through a gui...linux is a config-file driven world, and going that route almost always yields the best results
[02:17] <cmdbbq> in XFCE there is a way to instruct the window list to display only icons, is this possible in gnome?
[02:17] <ruhaan_jslip> well see i dont want to use the terminal to server up a few fles
[02:17] <ruhaan_jslip> *serve
[02:17] <ruhaan_jslip> anythign with a simple gui wud do
[02:17] <nwillettjeffries> @varth not really sure how to fix this. Have you tried maybe a different program to burn it?
[02:17] <kdogg> justmeyogs, with the latest version hardy you can use the main disc, but 7.04 you will need alternate cd
[02:18] <kdogg> hello m working on a hp a1010n. When I reboot after install, login, it just hangs at a blank screen with the cursor showing.
[02:18] <cmdbbq> in other words, the window list applet shows the icons of all the open windows, but doesn't print the names after the icons
[02:18] <Varth> nwillettjeffries: No. Do you have one that you would recommend?
[02:18] <justmeyogs> ahh ok thanks kdogg...I will have to download it then
[02:18] <justmeyogs> whats the ram requirements for hardy?
[02:18] <kdogg> justmeyogs, i meant intrepid*
[02:18] <goffio> ﻿ruhaan_jslip: the "going thru the terminal" step is about 3 minutes, but if you want a GUI i know of a ftp server with gui on ubuntu, lemme remember
[02:18] <ubuntu> ubuntu is installing thanks everyone (so smooth compared to vista :D )
[02:18] <exodus_ms> !install
[02:19] <nwillettjeffries> i usually use brasero myself but you could try gnome baker or if you don't mind a kde program, maybe k3b
[02:19] <exodus_ms> justmeyogs, ^^
[02:19] <onetinsoldier> !hardware
[02:19] <justmeyogs> kdogg is that 8.10?
[02:19] <kdogg> yeah
[02:19] <goffio> ﻿ruhaan_jslip: vsftpd. Search for it on synaptic, the search will have also the entry for the GUI interface
[02:19] <ruhaan_jslip> thnx alot goffio appreciate it
[02:20] <nwillettjeffries> @varth serpentine would be another option I think
[02:20] <kdogg> i cant figure out why this computer wont boot, its a fresh install
[02:20] <Torgoton> gogzmer: Halitech: anyone.... which Installer components do I need during the install? block-modules? ide-modules? kernel-image? nic-pcmcia-modules? partman stuff?
[02:20] <Varth> nwillettjeffries: Okay. Thanks.
[02:20] <nwillettjeffries> @varth np. sorry i couldn't be more helpful
[02:20] <justmeyogs> exodus was that in reference to my ibm thinkpad question?
[02:20] <ruhaan_jslip> goffio: synaptic doesnt have a gui for vsftps
[02:20] <Varth> nwillettjeffries: It's all good. thanks for your time
[02:20] <gogzmer> Torgoton: huh? are you configuring an install disk yourself?
[02:20] <Halitech> ruhaan_jslip, you could try filezilla
[02:21] <Torgoton> gogzmer: I'm doing a netboot install.
[02:21] <ruhaan_jslip> isnt that windows only
[02:21] <ruhaan_jslip> the server i mean
[02:21] <ruhaan_jslip> i already use the cleint
[02:21] <exodus_ms> justmeyogs, yes,
[02:21] <Halitech> ruhaan_jslip, I use it on debian
[02:21] <goffio> ﻿ruhaan_jslip: sorry! was proftpd
[02:21] <ruhaan_jslip> Halitech: does filezilla ftp server have a linux version?
[02:22] <Halitech> ruhaan_jslip, not sure, sorry I thought you were looking for a client
[02:22] <Halitech> ruhaan_jslip, proftpd as goffio suggested works well
[02:22] <ruhaan_jslip> thnx installin now
[02:22] <Cygnus___> Anybody help me out?  I'm trying to set up my dual-displays, and the one plugged into the secondary port on my computer is flipping out.
[02:22] <goffio> ﻿ruhaan_jslip: but it recommend you again to try ssh, it is very straightforward to set it up, and has lots of benefits over plain FTP, besides maybe it also has GUI (dunno about that tho=
[02:23] <elliottm> how exactly is it flipping out?
[02:23] <exodus_ms> ruhaan_jslip, --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588
[02:23] <ruhaan_jslip> goffio: i already use SSh for my servers
[02:23] <Cygnus___> Hmm... Solution pending as it solves itself...
[02:23] <ruhaan_jslip> and i use the terminal for those
[02:23] <gogzmer> ssh is trivial to set up, not just easy
[02:23] <ruhaan_jslip> but i prefer a GUI for my local stuff
[02:23] <goffio> ruhaan_jslip: then you have FTP
[02:23] <zsquareplusc> goffio: GUI? yes. nautlius with sftp:// on linux and winscp on windoze
[02:23] <adrian007> ruhaan_jslip:  can't you use SCP?
[02:23] <ruhaan_jslip> on my server lol not on my home pc
[02:24] <cQ> how to mount my /dev/sda2??it is NTFS partition
[02:24] <goffio> ﻿zsquareplusc: i meant a GUI to configure the server
[02:24] <exodus_ms> !ntfs
[02:24] <bcarter> can anyone here help with mod_rewrite on apache2?
[02:24] <nwillettjeffries> even if it's a ntfs partition it should mount
[02:24] <gogzmer> ruhaan_jslip: ssh lets you have sftp...and there are lots of gui sftp clients
[02:24] <ruhaan_jslip> hmm
[02:24] <Torgoton> Can someone with low memory install knowhow suggest some installer components to select?
[02:24] <zelda> hrm
[02:24] <goffio> it is better than plain old ftp, that's for sure
[02:24] <zimbres> what is the command to download source code apt-get ...?
[02:25] <justmeyogs> are older versions of ubuntu still available?
[02:25] <bluntz> is anyone running any voice recog wares?
[02:25] <zsquareplusc> goffio: ah. i don't know any of these kind.
[02:25] <[NetSkier>  What is the recommended way to upgrade from Kubuntu 8.04 to 8.1 when adept does not work?  The old 'apt-get dist-upgrade"?
[02:25] <justmeyogs> i have an old ibm thinkpad, would kubuntu be my better bet to install?
[02:25] <zsquareplusc> zimbres: apt-get source <pgk>
[02:25] <exodus_ms> [NetSkier, chekc your 'Software Sources'
[02:25] <Cpudan80> justmeyogs: no
[02:25] <adrian007> justmeyogs: what model is it?
[02:25] <D3RGPS31> How do I disable swap-space :D
[02:25] <bluntz> no
[02:25] <goffio> ﻿zsquareplusc: me neither, but chances are that there is one, i have synaptic running so i can't check
[02:26] <justmeyogs> A21m
[02:26] <Cpudan80> justmeyogs: Why do think kubuntu would be better?
[02:26] <[NetSkier> exodus_ms, k, will do.
[02:26] <Cpudan80> A21 ?
[02:26] <Cpudan80> ouch
[02:26] <Cpudan80> that is old
[02:26] <zsquareplusc> goffio: apt-cache should still work ;-)
[02:26] <nwillettjeffries> @justmeyogs xubuntu would be more lightweight if you're concerned about old hardware
[02:26] <adrian007> justmeyogs: the lightest gui would be xubuntu, but i would probably use a server install - ie no gui on that machine
[02:26] <robd> Hey guys
[02:26] <ozgurgerilla> 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[02:26] <justmeyogs> Cpudan: I was under the impression kubuntu was for systems with lower resources
[02:26] <goffio> ﻿zsquareplusc: good! i'll play with it now :)
[02:26] <Cpudan80> justmeyogs: That's Xubuntu
[02:26] <Torgoton> justmeyogs: Which thinkpad do you have?
[02:26] <adrian007> justmeyogs: nah, KDE is no faster than Gnome
[02:26] <robd> I'm looking for a good open source blog package. What would you guys suggest? (I've heard a lot about WordPress...)
[02:26] <Org-Mode> that would be xubuntu
[02:27] <Cpudan80> justmeyogs: KDE uses more resources than gnome
[02:27] <exodus_ms> [NetSkier, look in 'Updates' Release upgrade should be changed to "Normal Release'
[02:27] <ruhaan_jslip> robd: wordpress is the best
[02:27] <justmeyogs> Torgoton: A21m
[02:27] <justmeyogs> what GUI does xubuntu use?
[02:27] <Cpudan80> justmeyogs: XFCE
[02:27] <Torgoton> justmeyogs: Ah.Regular Ubuntu will work well... but Xubuntu perhaps a bit better. How much memory do you have?
[02:27] <bluntz> 560E
[02:27] <ruhaan_jslip> robd: this blog runs on wordpress linuxprimetime.com
[02:27] <cQ> i have problem with ubuntu 8.10.whan i browsing internet content that have flash.it become lag n slow
[02:27] <Cpudan80> justmeyogs: Looks very similar to gnome
[02:28] <cQ> i have problem with ubuntu 8.10.whan i browsing internet content that have flash.it become lag n slow.how to fix ths??happen to any1 also?
[02:28] <zsquareplusc> justmeyogs: old-releases.ubu... but why do you need old ones?
[02:28] <Cpudan80> And Torgoton has a good point -- how much mem do you have justmeyogs
[02:28] <Computer01> merry christmas everyone!
[02:28] <ruhaan_jslip> cQ: try the flash 10
[02:28] <justmeyogs> 256 ram
[02:28] <Computer01> lol
[02:28] <ruhaan_jslip> flash 9 has this problem
[02:28] <justmeyogs> max ram is 512
[02:28] <cQ> ok
[02:28] <potwak> merry christmas everyone!
[02:28] <potwak> lol
[02:28] <bluntz> ram 80
[02:28] <Cpudan80> justmeyogs: Go with XUbuntu unless you max it out to 512, in which case go with regular
[02:28] <Torgoton> justmeyogs: Xubuntu until you upgrade the RAM. Get as much as you can.
[02:28] <justmeyogs> xp installs fine but would prefer something better hence ubuntu
[02:28] <Torgoton> Jink!
[02:28] <cattle-rancher> potwak, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:28] <Torgoton> x
[02:28] <bcarter> anyone? mod_rewrite?  I have looked through forums, but mine still doesn't work.
[02:29] <Cpudan80> Torgoton: great minds think alike ;-)
[02:29] <exodus_ms> bcarter, #apache
[02:29] <robd> ahh, cool
[02:29] <cQ> how to know if i already use flash 10??
[02:29] <bcarter> thanks
[02:29] <robd> ruhaan_jslip: Thanks!
[02:29] <Torgoton> Meanwhile, I'm still trying to install on my ThinkPad 750P right now... in text mode... anyone know which installer components to download?
[02:29] <robd> ruhaan_jslip: Is there an Ubuntu package made for it?
[02:29] <zsquareplusc> cQ: about:plugins in the address bar of FF
[02:29] <ruhaan_jslip> robd: no
[02:29] <onetinsoldier> potwak: Merry Christmas!
[02:29] <justmeyogs> oh yeah one more thing.....any idea what pcmcia wireless card works best?
[02:30] <ruhaan_jslip> u will ahve to install an http server like appace for it
[02:30] <exodus_ms> !hardware
[02:30] <Torgoton> cQ: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ will show your version of flash.

[02:30] <hischild> D3RGPS31, swapoff
[02:30] <ruhaan_jslip> for usin Wordpress
[02:30] <D3RGPS31> hischild: permenently
[02:30] <zsquareplusc> D3RGPS31: man swapoff
[02:30] <hischild> D3RGPS31, remote it from fstab
[02:30] <D3RGPS31> hischild: the entire line?
[02:31] <goffio> ﻿ruhaan_jslip: as for you GUI question, you always have webmin, but maybe it is too much
[02:31] <hischild> D3RGPS31, only removing a part seems rather useless doesn't it
[02:31] <ruhaan_jslip> webmin will kill my server lol

[02:31] <bluntz> I wish I could get my Corel to run again,wordperfect8 was kewl
[02:31] <gogzmer> hischild: D3RGPS31: and tends to beak things!
[02:31] <D3RGPS31> hischild: it looks like the text is wrapping, i'm unsure...
[02:31] <justmeyogs> thanks all for the help....:)
[02:31] <goffio> !ebox | goffio
[02:31] <cQ> i cant see the animation on http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
[02:31] <D3RGPS31> hischild: but I'll trust a random stranger in a distro channel!
[02:32] <gogzmer> D3RGPS31: make the window bigger
[02:32] <cQ> got this error=Sorry, your platform is not supported
[02:32] <hischild> D3RGPS31, sudo vim /etc/fstab type dd on that line, type :wq<enter> and done.
[02:32] <D3RGPS31> gogzmer: 1440 is big enough; hischild thanks :D
[02:32] <wiretapt> guys, im using crunchbang but it has no auto .deb installer
[02:32] <gogzmer> !ebox | gogzmer
[02:32] <Cygnus___> If I'm using NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver (Version 177) do I need to also install Version 173?
[02:32] <wiretapt> how do i install the auto .deb installer
[02:32] <Torgoton> cQ: There should be two sections. Shockwave is not supported in linux. If you don't see flash below that, then you don't have flash installed.
[02:32] <onetinsoldier> wiretapt: you just measn install a .deb package?
[02:32] <goffio> ﻿hischild, yes but it has all the features (webm*N) has?
[02:33] <bluntz> no
[02:33] <FAJ> !flash | Torgoton
[02:33] <hischild> goffio, what, ebox?
[02:33] <wiretapt> well normally when u double click a .deb package, ubuntu will open a dialogue that installs it
[02:33] <Torgoton> Thanks FAJ, but I have flash.
[02:33] <wiretapt> i don't have that in crunchbang
[02:33] <goffio> hischild: yes
[02:33] <FAJ> Torgoton:  o oops :P
[02:33] <hischild> goffio, never tried webmin. Just don't complain when you use it, it's highly unsupported and unrecommended.
[02:33] <onetinsoldier> wiretapt: ok, on command line it's...   sudo dpkg -i <package>
[02:34] <hischild> goffio, webmin that is.
[02:34] <Torgoton> FAJ: No sweat.
[02:34] <wiretapt> oh is it not included in the openbox shell
[02:34] <potwak> why did it says "stack smashing detected" when i executed my C program?
[02:34] <cQ> but i can see video on youtube.
[02:35] <goffio> tomyself: it may be unsupported, but it rocks
[02:35] <zsquareplusc> potwak: pointer arithmetic with local variables? :p
[02:35] <derek> I cannot "see" my ubuntu machine from my windows box or macbook, cannot ping it, cannot see samba shares, etc... any idea as to what might be blocking it on the box?
[02:35] <gogzmer> potwak: austin powers has infiltrated your compiler? :)
[02:35] <onetinsoldier> wiretapt: are  you asking me? i don't know. i just know dpkg is included on the command line no matter where you go.
[02:35] <Torgoton> cQ: what browser are you using?
[02:35] <hischild> !worksforme | goffio
[02:35] <nwillettjeffries> @cQ you can see video because you do have a version of flash installed. The issue is that it's an older version.
[02:35] <cQ> firefox
[02:35] <goffio> lol
[02:35] <cQ> owh..how to update?
[02:36] <potwak> gogzmer: haha
[02:36] <adrian007> potwak: im not a C expert, but are you overloading a buffer?
[02:36] <potwak> zsquareplusc: but why did it says? what happened?
[02:36] <joeb3_> derek, firewall blocking?
[02:36] <cQ> i use shockwave flash 10.0 r15
[02:36] <nwillettjeffries> @cQ oh hmmm my bad... thought you were on version 9
[02:37] <derek> joeb3_: That's what I'm thinking.  This is a relatively fresh install of 8.10.  Is there some firewall that it installs by default?
[02:37] <crazy2k> Has any of you tried to play jumpnbump online? I can't connect to my own server :(
[02:37] <cQ> then i think my video driver.nvidia. i use nvidia 177
[02:37] <nwillettjeffries> @cq i use 177 too and flash works the best it ever has for me
[02:37] <cQ> i using i686 n u?
[02:38] <nwillettjeffries> yup same
[02:38] <cQ> i use acer aspire 4530 n u?
[02:38] <nwillettjeffries> naw dell e1505
[02:38] <Taladan> how do you configure the system proxy settings at the command line?
[02:38] <cQ> i think that must be on my laptop
[02:38] <potwak> adrian007: i think so.
[02:38] <potwak> :)
[02:38] <cQ> problem with laptop
[02:38] <nwillettjeffries> @cq might have been a problem when you installed it. You could try installing it from the medibuntu repositories...
[02:39] <joeb3_> derek, possibly ufw.  run 'ufw status' in a term to see if it is running.
[02:39] <adrian007> potak: look for any arrays you declare ie x[100] and then look to see what is going into them
[02:39] <cQ> i install use ubuntu .10 dvd
[02:39] <cQ> 8.10*
[02:39] <derek> joeb3_: "Status: not loaded"
[02:39] <zsquareplusc> potwak: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack-smashing_protection
[02:39] <goffio> Taladan: sudo export http_proxy=http://address:port
[02:39] <ultimate> sup?
[02:40] <potwak> can i sync my pocket pc with ubuntu? i'm using windows mobile 6 right now.
[02:40] <goffio> Taladan: same for ftp, but replace the relevan portion
[02:40] <potwak> zsquareplusc: thanks for that link. :)
[02:40] <joeb3_> derek, can linux ping windows or mac?
[02:40] <Taladan> goffio: okay, so if I put that in something like /etc/bash.bashrc it'll automatically set systemwide on startup?
[02:40] <cQ> do i need reinstall back my ubuntu?
[02:40] <ruhaan_jslip> joeb3_: yes
[02:40] <ruhaan_jslip> it can ping any oS
[02:40] <nwillettjeffries> @cq naw but maybe uninstall flash and then try again
[02:40] <derek> joeb3_: windows & mac can ping each other, but neither can ping Ubuntu
[02:41] <onetinsoldier> but can it pong, lol j/k
[02:41] <goffio> Taladan: it would but afaik if you do it on ubuntu it will stay set. don't ask me why tho
[02:41] <cQ> i have problem with performance also.i use 2gb memory of ram already
[02:41] <Taladan> goffio: even across a shut down?
[02:41] <nwillettjeffries> @cq what's the performance problem specifically?
[02:41] <Taladan> hrm..I think I'll play it safe
[02:41] <ultimate> ??
[02:41] <cQ> lag n slow
[02:41] <goffio> Taladan: yes, but try. you always can put it in /etc/rc.local or something like that
[02:41]  * Taladan nods
[02:42] <exodus_ms> !ask | ultimate
[02:42] <Taladan> Cool, thanks
[02:42] <cQ> when i unminimize,i can see black frame folloed up
[02:42] <Cygnus___> Can anyone help me set up multiple displays in Ubuntu?
[02:42] <nwillettjeffries> @cq 2gb ram. what's your processor? what video card? etc...
[02:42] <Taladan> Now to figure out how to make sure firefox is using system proxy settings at the cli...
[02:42] <Cygnus___> I'm looking at some Forum stuff, but I'm new to Linux, so when they tell me to edit Xorg.conf, I just get a little lost.
[02:42] <Cygnus___> Feel free to PM.
[02:42] <cQ> AMD turionx2,nvidia geforce 9100m G
[02:42] <happyface> Is it possible to install ubuntu on an external hard drive enclosure within ubuntu, then put the hard drive into another computer and boot normally?
[02:42] <zsquareplusc> cQ: sounds like it's using swap. do you run a memory hungry application?
[02:43] <cQ> what application u mean?
[02:43] <FAJ> happyface:  you would probably get a bunch of kernel errors.
[02:43] <goffio> Taladan: in my case it worked across reboots, and like you, the first time i put it in a bootscript. as for FF, it honors it
[02:43] <happyface> thanks FAJ
[02:43] <derek> joeb3_: and I verified that the iptables are empty.
[02:43] <Taladan> goffio: cool
[02:43] <FAJ> happyface:  i mean you could try; i never have, but just logically i would think it would.
[02:43] <zsquareplusc> cQ: i don't know it's your box. check with ps ax or top
[02:43] <cQ> i ahve swap partition but i think it not working
[02:43] <Taladan> now I'm good until my kids learn what a proxy is and how to bypass it *laughs*
[02:43] <Commie_Cary> Commie_Cary is gaming.  !gameinfo for more info.
[02:43] <nwillettjeffries> @cQ you running 32 bit or 64 bit?
[02:44] <cQ> nwillettjeffries:: how can i know?
[02:44] <joeb3_> derek, can your ubuntu box ping your windows or your mac
[02:44] <nwillettjeffries> @cQ if you don't know you're running 32 most likely :)
[02:44] <Taladan> hm...
[02:44] <Taladan> w3m didn't abide by the filtering.  Crud.
[02:44] <Taladan> I'm trying to set up dansguardian on my kids' desktop
[02:45] <derek> joeb3_: Nope. ubuntu cannot ping the other two, & vice versa, but they can ping each other.  and yes... they are on the same network. =)
[02:45] <cQ> i686 is 64 i think
[02:45] <goffio> Taladan: just filter them google searchs that contain "proxy"  :P
[02:45] <FAJ> cQ:  no ti's not.
[02:45] <Taladan> heh
[02:45] <bazhang> cQ, no
[02:45] <Taladan> anyone here dealt with dansguardian?
[02:45] <nwillettjeffries> @cQ since you have enough ram and are running a dual core its a little surprising that things are running slow.
[02:45] <cQ> then,what is i686?
[02:45] <Cygnus___> Can anybody help me setup multiple monitor support?  I'm new to Linux, and I'm just in over my head.  Feel free to PM.
[02:45] <bazhang> Taladan, there are setup instructions on the intrepid wiki
[02:46] <FAJ> cQ:  it's like i386, but a 'newer' architect...
[02:46] <joeb3_> derek, can ubuntu ping itself or 127.0.0.1?
[02:46] <exodus_ms> nah, but I just read today that dansguardian has a nice gui now
[02:46] <cQ> owh..
[02:46] <cQ> top=http://paste.ubuntu.com/91933/
[02:46] <cQ> that what i running
[02:46] <Taladan> bazhang: yeah, I followed the setup instructions I found on the ubuntu wiki, but when I just hit a p0rn site from w3m...it's obviously not proxying correctly
[02:46] <onetinsoldier> I686 referred to the Intel Pentium 4 and similar architectures
[02:46] <nwillettjeffries> @cQ sounds like a program is just hogging the system or something... have you considered looking at RAM and Processor usage in system monitor to see if something is hanging the system?
[02:47] <onetinsoldier> i686*

[02:47] <derek> joeb3_: Good idea.  I can successfully ping 192.168.1.105 and 127.0.0.1
[02:47] <ozgurgerilla> can someone help me sort out my Atheros card please it's this one : 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

[02:47] <joeb3_> derek, ok, now what about the default gateway
[02:47] <hashbrowns> Can someone help me out by walking me through installing and properly configuring GRUB for a dualboot scenario?
[02:47] <bazhang> ozgurgerilla, just a second
[02:47] <Cygnus___> ...  Anybody, help with setting up multiple displays?

[02:48] <ScottG489> when im writing a script, how do i input something into a promt. Like say i sudo something, what would i type after that to have it input my password?
[02:48] <nwillettjeffries> @cQ what is using up the most of your cpu?
[02:48] <nwillettjeffries> @ hashbrowns i can help you
[02:48] <goffio> hashbrowns, how is your setup?
[02:48] <joeb3_> derek, wifi or using cables?
[02:49] <cQ> firefox 46.7mb
[02:49] <nwillettjeffries> @Cygnus you running 8.10?
[02:49] <derek> joeb3_: wifi.  This problem started happening when I moved the linux box to wifi too.  It worked when cabled.
[02:49] <zhaowm> who use the Java to develop erp software?
[02:49] <cQ> gnome system monitor,CPU=8
[02:49] <Thyrif> heya guys
[02:49] <hashbrowns> nwillettjeffries: did you get my PM?
[02:50] <bazhang> zhaowm, better to ask in ##java
[02:50] <Cygnus___> nwillett: I am indeed.
[02:50] <zhaowm> thank you.
[02:50] <joeb3_> derek, you can't ping the gateway, which is the router.  Does 'iwconfig' show you associated with the access point?
[02:50] <root__> how can i disable my mouse wheel by editing xorg.conf?
[02:50] <Thyrif> alright, i have a (hopefully) quick question
[02:50] <Taladan> Ahhh, I've got it.  had the wrong port settings in there.
[02:50] <Taladan> working now.
[02:51] <cQ> i never seen my swap partition been usage.it is working or not needed?
[02:51] <Thyrif> how is compiz making a mess out of my titlebars on my ubuntu8.10 (nvidia)
[02:51] <nwillettjeffries> @cQ i don't know enough to tell you how to edit the x.org config files but have you tried the gui setup. Should be under preferences> screen resolution or monitors or something like that
[02:51] <bazhang> cQ, wont be used much if at all these days
[02:51] <nwillettjeffries> @sry i mean @cygnus there
[02:51] <bazhang> Thyrif, which window decorator
[02:52] <cQ> i use res=1280x800
[02:52] <nwillettjeffries> @cQ yeah swap is just meant to help when you max out your RAM usage and need more memory. with 2gb of RAM won't need much...
[02:52] <Thyrif> bahzang, decorator, you mean gnome?
[02:52] <bazhang> Thyrif, could be gtk-window-decorator, emerald
[02:52] <cQ> but i still faced with slow performance
[02:52] <Cygnus___> nwillettjeffries: Yeah, I tried that, but I'm not really getting anywhere with the Screen Resolutions thing
[02:52] <Thyrif> ohyeah, i tried to get emerald too, but that didnt make a difference
[02:53] <bazhang> cQ, check top to see what is using cpu
[02:53] <derek> joeb3_: looks fine to me.  and btw, it does have a solid internet connection (SSH'd in via the Macbook) http://pastebin.com/d50584b4c
[02:53] <Thyrif> it wasnt installed at first
[02:53] <nwillettjeffries> @cygnus hmm is it detecting the two monitors at all?
[02:53] <hashbrowns> nwilletjeffries: did you get my last few messages?
[02:53] <cQ> xorg
[02:53] <nwillettjeffries> @hashbrowns yeah sry didn't see em...hold on
[02:53] <bazhang> Thyrif, for an experts opinion on that /j #compiz-fusion
[02:53] <cQ> http://paste.ubuntu.com/91933/
[02:53] <Thyrif> alright, maybe they' ll know more. thanks bazhang
[02:54] <Commie_Cary> omg
[02:54] <Commie_Cary> how do i TURN THAT OFF
[02:54] <Trenter> turn what off?
[02:54] <bazhang> Commie_Cary, dont test in here
[02:54] <zsquareplusc> press caps lock again
[02:54] <Commie_Cary> I iddnt mean to
[02:54] <Commie_Cary> sorry!
[02:55] <OsamaK> Hello. I'm using Ubuntu on a live CD. I downloaded its updates last night, but when trying to install them, I got a 'Broken packages' error. I tried "sudo dpkg --configure -a" gives dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0130' near line 1:newline in field name `#padding'.
[02:55] <Cygnus___> nwillettjeffries: During boot, yes.  I get  GUI booting load bar...
[02:55] <mosiac> ok all i want to do is be able to put in a micro sd card and it be auto mounted no matter who the user is, how do i do that?
[02:55] <Cygnus___> hmmm... maybe it's working now.
[02:55] <Cygnus___> I just restarted.
[02:55] <zhaowm>  
[02:55] <NetSkier> exodus_ms, I don't see " Release upgrade" in /etc/apt/sources.list.
[02:56] <amortvigil> does anyone know how to reboot or shutdown from the fish command shell?
[02:56] <nwillettjeffries> @cygnus it's working?
[02:56] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: hello. i might be abot to help with that
[02:56] <Cygnus___> nwillettjeffries: As soon as I get to the log in screen, the monitor on my secondary goes dead.
[02:56] <zhaowm> which are you from?
[02:56] <Cygnus___> I tried switching the ports that my monitor was using.
[02:56] <phobiac> mosiac: You could add an fstab line to give that drive 777 permission, although 777 might be too high.
[02:56] <bazhang> zhaowm, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[02:56] <bazhang> amortvigil, which distro
[02:56] <nwillettjeffries> @cygnus hmm so log in and open screen resolutions or a hardware manager and see if it's even detecting the second monitor at all
[02:57] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: great I have a presentation about Ubuntu I must be ready in one hour to show all Ubuntu's features.
[02:57] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: what response do you get from?  -->  ls -la /var/lib/dpkg/updates
[02:57] <mosiac> ok i understand edit fstab but after that you lose me
[02:57] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: ok, we'll try to hurry
[02:57] <phobiac> mosiac: chmod
[02:57] <joeb3_> derek, sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[02:57] <Cygnus___> nwillett: Hardware Testing?
[02:57] <phobiac> mosiac: It'd probably be safer to just give the drives permission to a group and add all the users you want to that group
[02:58] <Thyrif> oh bazhang, btw, im running the default human-theme
[02:58] <hafash> Hi
[02:58] <Cygnus___> nwillett: because I don't see Hardware manager
[02:58] <mosiac> how do i do that?
[02:58] <bazhang> Thyrif, did you try switching themes
[02:58] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91936/
[02:58] <mosiac> or how can i change what group device permissions belong to?
[02:59] <phobiac> mosiac: It'd be in the fstab line.
[02:59] <joeb3_> derek, try your pings now
[02:59] <phobiac> mosiac: Let me check the fstab docs
[02:59] <Ronux> Hey, I have a horribly noobish question. Been learning linux for the first time and well, i need the root pasword for su and i never made one during the instalation.
[02:59] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: ok,  move thos to a temporary area. it should be safe to actually delete them, it's up to you. do you know how to do that?
[02:59] <mosiac> ok
[02:59] <bazhang> Ronux, use sudo
[02:59] <zsquareplusc> !sudo > Ronux
[02:59] <FAJ> Ronux: it's better to stay out of keeping root as an active user.
[02:59] <mosiac> one of my drives is listed in my fstab but the other isnt but when i click on the other drive it at least mounts
[03:00] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: not really :(
[03:00] <nwillettjeffries> @cygnus hmm might not be installed by default, try screen resolutions instead. is it showing 2 monitors or just one?
[03:00] <phobiac> mosiac: Is the SD card drive in fstab?
[03:00] <mosiac> yeah
[03:00] <mker> I have a couple .pdf using the font Garamond which is not embedded and it looks really bad in Evince. How should I deal with this? Is there a way to make Evince show it better? Make it use an alternative font maybe? Make the pdf use an alternative font? What is the easiest way?
[03:00] <Thyrif> bazhang, well, after some trying, mostly the human-themes have problems
[03:00] <mosiac> its /dev/sdc1
[03:00] <derek> joeb3_: Woo!  I can ping & see my shares now.  Thank you!  Think eth0 will come back up when I reboot?
[03:00] <phobiac> mosiac: Okay, you should probably back up fstab before you do anything just to be safe
[03:00] <Cygnus___> @nwillett: Just the one.  Of course, I don't know what it's SUPPOSED to look like with two.
[03:01] <Ronux> Thanks guys, looks like you bot solved my problem.
[03:01] <joeb3_> derek, yes.  Did you assign it a static ip address?
[03:01] <mosiac> ok done
[03:01] <maldito> how can i convert rmvb to a avi?
[03:01] <derek> joeb3_: I don't think so.  Where can I tell?
[03:01] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: ok...  sudo mkdir /root/badupdates && sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* /root/badupdates
[03:01] <SlimeyPete> maldito: try transcode or mencoder
[03:01] <SlimeyPete> I think there are GUIs available if you need them
[03:01] <SlimeyPete> !transcode
[03:01] <meoblast001> my friend is trying to install ubuntu and his mouse wont move
[03:01] <SlimeyPete> ooh, really
[03:01] <maldito> where can i get them
[03:01] <joeb3_> derek, is eth0 still plugged into the network?
[03:01] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: I may knew the problem. I have 0 Bytes space! Let me try free some of them. I'm sorry, I didn't note that.
[03:02] <SlimeyPete> ubottu is too new-fangled for transcode
[03:02] <derek> joeb3_: Nope
[03:02] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: roger
[03:02] <phobiac> mosiac: Hold on a second
[03:02] <mosiac> no prob i got lots of time
[03:03] <phobiac> mosiac: Are you trying to get this to work for a bunch of users or is it really just one?
[03:03] <bazhang> maldito, mencoder
[03:03] <nwillettjeffries> @cygnus i think it might not be detecting the second monitor at all. which is odd because it clearly does during boot then doesn't when you hit the lolgin
[03:03] <zsquareplusc> OsamaK: apt-get clean   to get some space back (all your old installed/upgraded packages)
[03:03] <v4vijayakumar> Hi, in case of hibernate, update manager is not automatically updating patches as expected. anyone noticed this ??
[03:03] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: I freed 805 MB. 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' still doesn't work
[03:03] <mosiac> its just me
[03:03] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: ok...  sudo mkdir /root/badupdates && sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/updates/* /root/badupdates
[03:03] <maldito> so after i download what i do?
[03:04] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: done
[03:04] <bluntz> anybody Know why Grab Display capture fails but overlay works in xawtv??
[03:04] <Kurowsaki> hello
[03:04] <Cygnus___> nwillett: Yeah.  I mean, it's cloning the output to both displays
[03:04] <phobiac> mosiac: Do you know how to use pm?
[03:04] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: then...  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:04] <hafash> How can I get the sound for this e-card website (it's got midi file embedded with the gif image): http://www.123greetings.com/events/world_hello_day/hello28.html
[03:04] <Kurowsaki> wut is the coolest ubuntu app.
[03:04] <mosiac> partition magic?
[03:04] <maldito> so after i download what i do?
[03:04] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: working?
[03:04] <cdecarlo_> Hi, I've got a Dell TrueMobile Wireless G card in my laptop, It has worked, quite well actually, but it has suddenly stopped? is there a way to check if the card is still working?
[03:04] <Cygnus___> KurowsakI: The bootloader.  It lets you load it.
[03:04] <phobiac> No, private messages. It's hard to keep track in this channel.
[03:04] <bazhang> maldito, there are a number of tutorials on the web (convert rmvb to avi ubuntu
[03:04] <mosiac> yeah i do heh
[03:05] <Kurowsaki> wut is it cygnus
[03:05] <maldito> i try to see one of those but i didnt find anything
[03:05] <bazhang> Kurowsaki, ask in #ubuntu-bots or #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[03:05] <Cygnus___> Kuro: The Bootloader?  It's the thing that allows Ubuntu to boot.  Without it, you would have a BIOS.  That's it.  The end.  Best app for Ubuntu.
[03:05] <nwillettjeffries> @cygnus: even after you log in?
[03:05] <woli> does anybody have bomberclone?
[03:05] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91939/
[03:05] <uber_noober> Kuro: use GRUB
[03:06] <Cygnus___> nwillett: It clones the screen across both displays during boot, then as soon as I hit the log in screen, it only displays on whichever display is plugged into the primary port of my graphics card.
[03:06] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: ok.. try what it says...  sudo apt-get -f install
[03:06] <nwillettjeffries> @cygnus what graphics card/s your running?
[03:06] <Cygnus___> nwillett: It isn't having trouble with the displays, it's even doing 1920x1080 res on my primary monitor.
[03:07] <Ronux> god, ubuntu makes vista feel like a whale in terms of performance
[03:07] <Cygnus___> nwillett: It's just that the secondary never eveng ets a signal.
[03:07] <corollax> Ronux: Vista IS a whale.
[03:07] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: when that done, then to make sure you're all upgraded..   sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:07] <corollax> Ronux: Comparatively, Ubuntu is something of a large dog. Perhaps a mastiff. Ahh, good ol' puppy-linux.
[03:08] <maldito> rmvb is that same that rm?
[03:08] <Ronux> Ha well im still running vista, im using vmware to run linux. Really wanted to learn how to use it and possibly switch over some day.
[03:08] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91941/
[03:08] <corollax> Ronux: Darnit, a proper distribution is slimmed down to nothing more than a command-line! And the only editor you have is Ed.
[03:08] <nwillettjeffries> @cygnus hmm so what graphics cards are you running?
[03:08] <adrian007> vista isn't too bad if you have a huge amount of ram in your system, i have the same setup as Ronux
[03:08] <Cygnus___> nwillett: 7900GS
[03:08] <bazhang> !offtopic
[03:09] <corollax> bazhang: Oh, chill...
[03:09] <Cygnus___> nwillett: It apparently isn't listed on the compatibility chart, but the 7900 is.
[03:09] <ezzieyguywuf> i would like to write a script that runs as root but that does not recquire a password (ie gksu). how can i do this?
[03:09] <bazhang> corollax, please chat elsewhere
[03:09] <mib_nj2u90d8> i am trying to get my hotmail account integrated with thunderbird, i am lost with the server thing, can someone help please?
[03:09] <nwillettjeffries> @cygnus so its a single card setup?
[03:09] <Ronux> I have 4gigs, got 512 set for ubuntu right now and its already faster then vista.
[03:09] <tylerknowsthis> hey, what's a good ISO burning software for ubuntu/debian?
[03:09] <bazhang> Ronux, please you too
[03:09] <zelda> anyone know how to stop pidgin from changing the log off applet from the red button to the green circle?
[03:09] <Cygnus___> nwillett: Indeed it is.  The 7900GS isn't listed explicitly, but the 7900GTX is.
[03:09] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: you're running a LiveCD? i don't think you can get an upgraded kernel on that.. hang on
[03:09] <bazhang> tylerknowsthis, the one built into gnome is fine
[03:10] <uber_noober> min_nj2..: Chek this out http://lifehacker.com/software/hotmail/check-hotmail-using-thunderbird-34583.php
[03:10] <tylerknowsthis> bazhang: which is?
[03:10] <mker> tylerknowsthis, the one that comes with ubuntu. just right click the iso and choose "write to disk"
[03:10] <bazhang> tylerknowsthis, right click burn to cd
[03:10] <Wicked> !mplayer
[03:10] <uber_noober> min_nj2: use google first then ask questions
[03:10] <tylerknowsthis> ok, derr, thanks everybody
[03:10] <maldito> where can i get or isntall winMPG
[03:10] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: so should I update others and keep the kernal?
[03:10] <zsquareplusc> ezzieyguywuf: you can use visudo to configure if sudo asks for a password or not. you can have single apps w/o pass for example
[03:10] <bazhang> maldito, what is that
[03:11] <zelda> and please dont tell me to go to Pidgin, cause they told me to come here.
[03:11] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: i'm being called away. i'll be back i a  minute
[03:11] <adrian007> Cygnus___: i could be being silly here, but i thought that you had to have two entries in your xorg.conf file for the graphics card and monitor to make it work with multiple displays
[03:11] <nwillettjeffries> @cygnus this is pretty basic so i'm not convinced it will work but have you tried going into screen resolution and hitting hitting detect displays or checking the "mirror screens" box?
[03:11] <maldito> is a program to convert file to avi mpeg ant more
[03:11] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: ok
[03:11] <bazhang> maldito, check the appdb if it is a windows program
[03:11] <bazhang> !appdb | maldito
[03:11] <ezzieyguywuf> zsquareplusc: can you elaborate on that please? ideally i would like for the program to have root privaleges so that a command that usually recquires sudo in bash can just be run anyways in this script. does that make sense?
[03:11] <Cygnus___> nwillett: I have.
[03:12] <koshar2> maldito mencoder
[03:12] <mib_nj2u90d8> uber_noober: ive done that
[03:12] <zelda> anyone
[03:12] <zelda> ?
[03:12] <maldito> oh so is there any program like winMPG  for ubuntu?
[03:12] <bazhang> maldito, via cli yes
[03:12] <bluntz> dsl does it with bootlocal.sh I do believe
[03:12] <maldito> i got mencoder
[03:12] <maldito> but i dont see it at my applications
[03:13] <koshar2> maldito you want to convert a file to avi? if so use mencoder
[03:13] <zsquareplusc> ezzieyguywuf: check out the man page for "sudoers" but use "visudo" to edit that file.
[03:13] <uber_noober> mib_nj: did u check out the link i posted?
[03:13] <bazhang> maldito, it is command line
[03:13] <Cygnus___> nwillet: I think I found it.  There's an nvidia settings thing I'm playing with at the moment
[03:13] <koshar2> maldito its command line
[03:13] <maldito> oh show can i use it
[03:13] <ezzieyguywuf> zsquareplusc: ok i'll check it out
[03:13] <uber_noober> maldito: try ffmpeg
[03:13] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: ok, i'm back... hang on
[03:14] <nwillettjeffries> @cygnus ok...let me know how it goes...
[03:14] <maldito> ffmpeg is a program or command ?
[03:14] <uber_noober> command
[03:14] <v4vijayakumar> Hi, in case of hibernate, update manager is not automatically updating patches as expected. anyone noticed this ??
[03:14] <uber_noober> pretty easy
[03:14] <koshar2> maldito the using depends on what you actually want to do
[03:14] <bazhang> maldito, is a command line app yes
[03:14] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: start aptitude... have you ever used it?
[03:14] <saturnDriver> does anyone know what the proper permissions for a home directory should be?
[03:14] <binMonkey> hi, guys.  i can't open a cd that came with a programming book.  i get the message 'permission denied'.  i've tried to chmod and chown but that doesn't work.  any ideas?
[03:15] <bluntz> help with broken grab display nvidia
[03:15] <Gun_Smoke> I have an machine running Intrepid.  I get a hard freeze shortly after login.  Where do I check to see what is causing the lockup?
[03:15] <maldito> is there any program im not got a command lines!
[03:15] <Ohmu> I cannot mount my external HDD. It used to work.  Can anyone help?
[03:15] <bluntz> audacity has none
[03:15] <koshar2> maldito what do you want to do?
[03:15] <saturnDriver> Ohmu: i might be able to
[03:15] <goffio> Gun_Smoke: log files are under /var/log
[03:15] <v4vijayakumar> Ohmu: sudo mount
[03:15] <uber_noober> saturnDriver: what do u want the permissions to be?
[03:15] <Cygnus___> nwillet: A lot of the stuff requires restart, so we'll see
[03:16] <maldito> convert a rmvb to avi format
[03:16] <zelda> anyone?
[03:16] <Cygnus___> nwillet: I was downloading some updates, so I have to wait for them to install and whatnot.
[03:16] <Gun_Smoke> goffio, I've been looking through them but nothing exactly stands out..
[03:16] <koshar2> maldito avi is only a container, what cedecs do you want to use?
[03:16] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: I was bit away. I don't think I did.
[03:17] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: man.. i didn't know you were on a LiveCD. i'm not certain if i know how to fix this real quick on a Live CD.
[03:17] <Ohmu> saturnDriver, how to start?
[03:17] <maldito> i want to record a dvd but my dvd player doesnt play rmvb format
[03:17] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: it's a USB Live CD
[03:17] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: skip aptitude... i'm going to go a different route
[03:17] <saturnDriver> Ohmu: did you make a mountpoint
[03:17] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: cd /var/lib/dpkg
[03:17] <bazhang> maldito, you need to convert it first
[03:18] <saturnDriver> uber_noober - I was trying to put /home /var /usr on separate partitions, but i messed something up
[03:18] <koshar2> maldito so you want a mpeg2 vob instead of something in an avi container?
[03:18] <uber_noober> maldito: see http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=104161
[03:18] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: ..
[03:18] <woli> does anybody play bomberclone
[03:18] <maldito> well anything that i can play in my dvd

[03:18] <odinsbane> How well does flash 10 work with ff3 on ubuntu?
[03:18] <bazhang> maldito, you should read some of the recommended links then report back the exact errors you get
[03:19] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: are you in /var/lib/dpkg?
[03:19] <OsamaK> yeah, onetinsoldier
[03:19] <woli> maldito bastardo
[03:19] <koshar2> maldito is your dvd divx(mpeg4)  compatable?
[03:19] <bazhang> woli, ??
[03:19] <maldito> yeah!
[03:19] <maldito> woli
[03:19] <woli> just sayin
[03:19] <zelda> does anyone know about the log off applet?
[03:19] <goffio> Gun_Smoke, maybe it is some bad config, you can try renaming temporarily your homedir, making a new blank one with the same name, then login to gnome, you'll have your gnome/apps with all the defaults.
[03:19] <bazhang> woli, please dont
[03:19] <woli> why not?
[03:19] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: sudo cp -v status status.back
[03:19] <talbot> BibCaM ChiLDFuGGa R@yGolD --- All the CP in the world at this site guys. Over 20 terabytes of CHILD PORN -- kidsstore.uuuq.com
[03:19] <koshar2> bazhang i think maldito needs to work out what he wants to begin with
[03:19] <maldito> yeah koshar
[03:19] <bazhang> !coc > woli
[03:19] <woli> bastardo is not what you think it is.. its different in spanish, right maldito ?
[03:19] <uber_noober> saturnDriver: what exactly did u mess up? can u see ur partitions
[03:20] <ushimitsudoki> !ops | talbot
[03:20] <maldito> yeah!
[03:20] <woli> see?
[03:20] <koshar2> maldito were you confirming your dvd is moeg4 compatable?
[03:20] <Cygnus___> nwillett: Oh, now I'm getting the disco monitor from hell.  It's flashing random colors at me!
[03:20] <ezzieyguywuf> zsquareplusc: wholly fu#@ man sudoers is pages long! any guidance as to where exactly I should look? i'm having a tought time deciphering what exactly sudoers is
[03:20] <maldito> yeah
[03:20] <Cygnus___> mainly fuscia though
[03:20] <Ohmu> saturnDriver, ok got it now
[03:20] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: `status' -> `status.back'
[03:20] <Cygnus___> fuschia?
[03:20] <maldito> yes koshar2
[03:21] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: ok.. roger. hang on a few moments
[03:21] <mn> Anyone know how I can get a copy of an OS to work after I cp it to another drive
[03:21] <zsquareplusc> ezzieyguywuf: start with the examples at the end. you can add a line to enable your user to run that specific script with sudo, but without asking for a pass
[03:21] <adrian007> zelda: you could try using the log out applet instead of the user switcher applet
[03:21] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: as root, you are going to need to edit the 'status' file
[03:21] <sfer2> ari_stress: I'm back!
[03:21] <mortici> in fstab do i need a line pointing to / or no?
[03:22] <DigitalFiz> mn dont think it really works like that, a lot of things have to be changed because the devs change and you needa mbr the drive
[03:22] <ezzieyguywuf> zsquareplusc: thanks!
[03:22] <sfer2> and it did work for a new user, but my settings for firefox and thunderbird aren't being carried over even if i bring the folders over!
[03:22] <koshar2> maldito you coul duse mencoder but i are not sure if it supports real media files.
[03:22] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: good, next?
[03:22] <zelda> adrian007: thanks. But I dont want that. is there a way around?
[03:22] <maldito> http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=104161  koshar2
[03:23] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: you need to search for this -->    Version: 2.6.27-7.16
[03:23] <Ohmu> Whats the deal here? (spud) SamHDD ---> ls -l  BOOTMGR              -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 438840 2006-11-02 11:30 BOOTMGR             (spud) SamHDD ---> rm BOOTMGR               rm: cannot remove `BOOTMGR': No such file or directory
[03:23] <koshar2> maldito effectively you want to convert the file into mpeg4video/mp3audio in an avi container,
[03:23] <goffio> mn: provided you have all the drivers for the new hardware, the main things you'll have to set up are fstab and bootloader
[03:23] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: in the status.back file?
[03:23] <ezzieyguywuf> zsquareplusc: i'm gettin ready to read those examples, but quick question. after reading some of the man pages, i think i gathered that i can assign a directory in which all scripts will be given the right to run as sudo. did i understand that correctly cuz that'd be great
[03:24] <Ohmu> how can I have a file on a portable HDD that rm won't remove?
[03:24] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: no.. not the .bak file
[03:24] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: the status file
[03:24] <adrian007> zelda: not that i can think of - maybe you could uninstall pidgin and install a version which isnt integrated with the applet
[03:24] <koshar2> Ohmu permissions
[03:24] <hafash> How can I get the sound for this e-card website (it's got midi file embedded with the gif image): http://www.123greetings.com/events/world_hello_day/hello28.html
[03:24] <mn> goffio:  What should I do with fstab?  I have the correct line in the GRUB config file because the OS boots, but then I can't log on because it isn't able to write to $HOME

[03:24] <maldito> well any format all i want is to see that movie on my dvd player
[03:25] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: found
[03:25] <rww> Ohmu: There are several folders on Vista partitions that can't be removed by the ntfs/ntfs-3g drivers. BOOTMGR is one of them.
[03:25] <hafash> Please someone: How can I get the sound for this e-card website (it's got midi file embedded with the gif image): http://www.123greetings.com/events/world_hello_day/hello28.html
[03:25] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: ok.. what Package is it for?
[03:25] <goffio> mn, you have to change where / is mounted to mount from the new device
[03:25] <Ohmu> rww: aaah. ok.   is there any way to do it?
[03:25] <rww> !midi | hafash
[03:25] <hafash> yes rww
[03:25] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: Linux?
[03:26] <rww> Ohmu: not as far as I know. From what I've heard, it's not recommended to do so, either. I'm not sure of the details, though.
[03:26] <hafash> can't get a browser plugin to play it
[03:26] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: go up a little and tell me what the line --> Package:    ...says
[03:26] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: it'll say something more than just Linux
[03:26] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: Package: linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic
[03:26] <zsquareplusc> ezzieyguywuf: yes, that might be possible. or use a groups to control who can execute the selected scripts
[03:26] <mn> goffio:  This is done in GRUB right?  in the root=/dev/sda3 line right?
[03:27] <rww> hafash: hmm. Perhaps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=272189 might help?
[03:27] <goffio> mn: yes, root is the line where you tell grub about the new partition
[03:27] <ChristianBill> Does anyone know of a good, and easy to set up, internet radio daemon?
[03:27] <koshar2> maldito ok open a terminal,
[03:27] <hafash> The midi file is supposed to be played by geck-mediaplayer --- according to Applications in Firefox broser
[03:28] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: ok... now, you must make it so that area of the file for that package looks like the pastebin i will give you in just a minute, ok?
[03:28] <rww> hafash: the Applications preference pane is for downloaded files, not for playing stuff embedded in a webpage
[03:28] <mn> goffio: the GRUB config file is flawless.  It boots.  There are just problems with the permissions or something because it says "GDM cannot write to $HOME.  Please contact your system administrator."
[03:29] <mortici> exit
[03:29] <bluntz> http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Real-Media-Converter-Download-33778.html
[03:29] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: ok
[03:29] <function1> soo, pulseaudio sits on top of alsa, correct?
[03:29] <goffio> ﻿mn: what about fstab? have you put the new partition there?
[03:29] <zsquareplusc> function1: yes
[03:29] <corollax> function1: More or less. it's a hub for ALSA, ESD, OSS, among others.
[03:29] <mn> goffio: not manually. let me check it out right quick.  That is /etc/fstab, correct?
[03:30] <goffio> mn: yes
[03:30] <Cygnus___> wow, now I'm just having trouble with everything.
[03:30] <mn> goffio: I used gparted, btw, if that's of any significance
[03:31] <fandi> cindy
[03:31] <Sindacious> o.
[03:31] <maldito> now what? koshar2
[03:31] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: there can only be four lines for that package.. if there are more than the four lines shown in my pastebin for that package, then you must remove them.  and the 'Status: ' line must be like it is in my pastebin
[03:31] <mn> goffio: you called it.  it's not in there.  How should I got about adding it?
[03:32] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: http://paste.ubuntu.com/91955/
[03:32] <goffio> mn: do both partitions have the same filesystem?
[03:33] <mn> goffio:  I think so, if not, one is ext2 and the other is ext3.  ill check
[03:33] <Seq> If anybody is knowledgeable about scsi: I just added a card (Adaptec 29160LP) and tape drive. Booting never gets passed the SCSI 'BIOS' while detecting devices. Any ideas?
[03:33] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: this is mine <http://paste.ubuntu.com/91956/>
[03:33] <koshar2> maldito ok cd (change directory) to the directory the file you want to chang is loacated
[03:33] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: should I replace all of them to yours?
[03:33] <mn> goffio: they are both ext3
[03:33] <hafash> Okay rww -- i will see what I can find from what you gave me -- although I already have Timidity and xmms-midi plugin already installed
[03:33] <koshar2> maldito ie cd /home/myusername/video ect
[03:34] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: no.. my example is from a -11 kernel.
[03:34] <function1> corollax: it looks like from the pulseaudio website i should be able to fool an application into using pulse even though it thinks it is using alsa, does that sound correct? (website seems a little ambigious, looking for better docs)
[03:34] <goffio> mn: ok. now cat /etc/fstab and locate the line where / is listed
[03:35] <woli> does this have any sense? http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/minicovers/76.jpg
[03:35] <corollax> function1: That is the principle behind pulseaudio, yes. The execution seems to leave something to be desired at this point, though
[03:35] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: the only difference is in the line "Status: install ok half-configured", which should be kept?
[03:35] <mn> goffio: /dev/sda5
[03:35] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: i am sorry this has happened to you with a presentation coming up so soon, however... you should have a real installation of Ubuntu running. or at the very least, the persistent version of the cd rather than the live version
[03:35] <maldito> koshar2 no such a file avalible
[03:35] <bazhang> woli, dont paste random links in here thanks

[03:36] <koshar2> maldito what do you mean? do you know where your file is stored?
[03:37] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: I'll be OK. I'll play "Free Stephen" Video, show them OpenOffice, Games, and simple others. I'll be OK. (They're 'Noob'  :))
[03:37] <dustball> hello
[03:37] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: wish me luck. ;)
[03:37] <jicksta> does anyone know why I might not be able to cd into a directory that I *can* ls? the directory is owned by both my user and group and has permissions ug+rw
[03:37] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: look at that again.. they are not the same.
[03:37] <ubtu99> I have installed ubuntu intrepid (8.10) on a macbook pro and enabled the wireless
[03:37] <woli> bazhang, lick your anus fag
[03:37] <ubtu99> but I need to use wpa_supplicant
[03:37] <dlozarie> Can anyone tell me how to give everyone 777 perms to a subdirectory under /opt/?
[03:37] <ubtu99> but it tells me the driver is busy, any solution?
[03:38] <datou> hellow
[03:38] <koshar2> jicksta typo? are you using tab to fill the path?
[03:38] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: should I remove all other lines?
[03:38] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK:    yours --> Package: linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic    mine --> Package: linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic
[03:38] <ubtu99> I tried killing nm-applet and network manager
[03:38] <saturnDriver> dlozarie: chmod 777 /opt/subdirectory
[03:38] <onetinsoldier> only a little difference, but they are not exactly the same
[03:38] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: I'll keep this, but what about long other lines?
[03:38] <jicksta> koshar2: nope. i would've caught on to that. i even tried it in multiple shells, including /bin/sh (which doesn't have tab completion)
[03:38] <mn> goffio: what do you think?
[03:38] <goffio> mn: you have now to replace the part of the line where it says /dev/sda5 with the new partition. what is your new partition?
[03:38] <echinos> Caveats against installing amd64 vs. i386 intrepid?
[03:38] <echinos> !amd64
[03:38] <koshar2> dlozarie sudo chmod 777 /opt/subdirectory
[03:38] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: from 5 to 30.
[03:38] <Gun_Smoke> I think I've narrowed the culprit down to the network manager.  Causing the total system freeze
[03:39] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: you make it like i have in my pastebin.. mine has only the first four line.. all other below that are to be removed
[03:39] <koshar2> jicksta symlink?
[03:39] <jicksta> nope, not a symlink
[03:39] <mn> goffio:  wait, that would then make /dev/sda5 not boot, right?  I want both to be available to boot
[03:39] <mn> goffio: nvm, I misunderstood
[03:39] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: remove 5-30
[03:39] <dlozarie> saturnDriver: koshar2: I already tried that (tried it again just now), but I still can't copy stuff to that subdirectory
[03:39] <koshar2> jicksta beats me
[03:39] <mn> i know what you mean know
[03:39] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: should I keep package name and statue?
[03:39] <mn> now*
[03:39] <dlozarie> can't create a new subdirectory either
[03:40] <puff> Is there a generally-recommended tool for creating a custom install CD?
[03:40] <OsamaK> or using yours, onetinsoldier
[03:40] <ezzieyguywuf> how do you use visudo? i'm trying visudo sudoers and getting naught
[03:40] <dustball> ok u all just lost me im new to linux
[03:40] <goffio> mn: allright, you should do this only in the *new* filesystem's /etc/fstab
[03:40] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: the status line needs to be changed to this  --> Status: purge ok not-installed
[03:40] <jicksta> koshar2: http://pastie.org/346026
[03:40] <mn> goffio: yeah
[03:40] <maldito> #ubuntu-es
[03:40] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: the problem is.. we need to do this for a few more sections in this file
[03:40] <koshar2> dlozarie did you check the permissions of the folder
[03:41] <mn> goffio: is this all I should have to do?
[03:41] <dlozarie> koshar2: oh wait, looks like now all the subdirectories have this padlock icon on them. wonder what that means
[03:41] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: Well. I'll be fine. I have another LiveCD (not the USB) for emergencies.
[03:41] <CaBlGuY> !qtella
[03:41] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: I'll try connecting you soon.
[03:41] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: since this a LiveCD.. you could just reboot. then it would be back to normal
[03:41] <joeb3_> jicksta, you have access to the dir, but not the files/subdirs.  Grant perms with chmod -R
[03:41] <OsamaK> Thanks a lot, onetinsoldier
[03:42] <CaBlGuY> anyone usin qtella??
[03:42] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: It's a USB LIVE :D
[03:42] <onetinsoldier> OsamaK: ok.. good luck! take care
[03:42] <mn> goffio: well, I'll be away for a few.  I will try it out.  Thanks much for you're help. bll
[03:42] <ScottG489> Hey, I want to be able to get a bunch of packages automatically after i install ubuntu. How would I do this?
[03:42] <mn> bbl*
[03:42] <OsamaK> onetinsoldier: changes are kept
[03:42] <jicksta> joeb3_: i've already done that several times. even this doesn't fix it:      root@xenu:/var/www# chmod -R ug+rw confluence/
[03:42] <OsamaK> see you
[03:42] <saturnDriver> ScottG489 use apt-get?
[03:42] <function1> corollax: i have one application, puredata, that really doesnt seem to want to use pulse. apparently it tries to access a specific device address (like hw:0,0) with alsa rather than just 'default', which someone told me bypasses alsa's dmix. but i feel like if pulse was doing its job, (or if the app was really using pulse) then dmix would not be needed. is this wrong? would streams still need to be mixed before they arrive at pulse from a fake alsa i
[03:42] <ScottG489> saturnDriver: I mean a bunch of packages automatically
[03:43] <goffio> mn: yes, to be safe you can have two entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst : the original one, to boot safely in your original environment, and a new entry for the new partition
[03:43] <saturnDriver> SCottG489 what do you mean by automatically
[03:43] <ScottG489> saturnDriver: So I run one script or something and it will install the list of packages I have listed.
[03:43] <koshar2> jicksta you dont appear to have read access
[03:43] <qcjn2> anyone know's of mpd + icecast2 ...i'm almost there. mpd works, and i can see the icecast page at localhost:8000,  but usually you see what's playing
[03:43] <CaBlGuY> anyone??   qtella??
[03:43] <gnutun> hey all; i have a problem with a brand new ibex installation; when i use my laptop's brightness controls, the brightness indicator pops up and stays up, and then none of the ubuntu menus or app text entry fields work at all, and i have to hard-reset the system; has anyone ever seen this?
[03:43] <corollax> function1: I really wish I could give you an answer. I disable pulseaudio, personally
[03:43] <puff> saturnDriver: He wants to install several ubuntu boxes, with a cusotm set of additonal packages.
[03:43] <CaBlGuY> havin issues with frostwire and lookin for a replacement.
[03:43] <wos> how do i scan for bluetooth devices?
[03:44] <puff> saturnDriver: hence my question, earlier.
[03:44] <koshar2> dlozarie the padlick means you dont have access
[03:44] <wos> whats the command?
[03:44] <saturnDriver> puff: oh, i don't know how to do that then
[03:44] <Slacker> Can someone help me =/.
[03:44] <kdogg> hello m working on a hp a1010n. When I reboot after install, login, it just hangs at a blank screen with the cursor showing. Anyone know whats wrong?
[03:44] <function1> corollax: ah. do you use just plain alsa or some other server?
[03:44] <johntramp> hi in the login manager and in openbox the fonts are huge, like the title bar takes up 1/5th of the screen in openbox
[03:44] <Slacker> I accidently ran a sudo chmod -R 644 /
[03:44] <dlozarie> koshar2: oh, nuts. I'm assuming there's a command to give me access then? :D
[03:44] <puff> wos: hcitool scan
[03:44] <Gun_Smoke> !help > Slacker
[03:44] <CaBlGuY> whatcha got slacker?
[03:44] <ubtu99> kdogg: I had the same issue on my macbook pro
[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> !clone
[03:44] <ubtu99> kdogg: I had to use this tool to sync my partition
[03:44] <jicksta> koshar2: are you sure? i can recursively grant the owner read access and it still doesn't allow me
[03:44] <ScottG489> saturnDriver: So say every time i install ubuntu I want to be able to install flash on the system and compiz
[03:45] <ubtu99> kdogg: this was only for apple computers, there might be an equivalent for pcs
[03:45] <CaBlGuY> hey Jack_Sparrow, how goes it?
[03:45] <wos> puff i need to get the mac address of a bluetooth device already recognized.
[03:45] <Slacker> So in other words I have 0 permissions to do anything and I didn't set the root password so I am at a loss =/
[03:45] <saturnDriver> ScottG489: Sorry, can't help you there
[03:45] <kdogg> ubtu99, do you remember what program it was?
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> CaBlGuY Taking it easy tonight thanks
[03:45] <koshar2> dlozarie you either have to go in as sudo or modify the permissions,
[03:45] <ubtu99> kdogg: it
[03:45] <ubtu99> kdogg: it's called reFIT
[03:45] <CaBlGuY> Jack_Sparrow:  good 4 u..  ;)
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo > Slacker
[03:45] <jicksta> ok guys. i fixed it
[03:45] <koshar2> jicksta ls -l the dir
[03:45] <ScottG489> ubottu: lol let me read that
[03:45] <puff> wos: You might want to look at http://darksleep.com/notablog/ubuntu/ubuntujournal.txt
[03:45] <dlozarie> koshar2: one by one on the subdirectories?
[03:46] <kdogg> ubtu99, thanks for advice
[03:46] <ubtu99> kdogg: look it up in google, and if somehow it installs (it has wide support) activate the partition manager and it syncs it
[03:46] <CaBlGuY> Jack_Sparrow:  u don't know anything about qtella do ya?
[03:46] <puff> wos: It has (among other htings) some of my notes from messing with bluetooth stuff.
[03:46] <duane> can some one help me get compiz to work? Iam running hardy and have a ati radion 9100.
[03:46] <ubtu99> kdogg: no problem. It drove me nuts too
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> CaBlGuY Nope
[03:46] <Torgoton> I started my netboot install, and now every ten seconds or so on console4, I see a segfault error ffff0004 and debian-installer exits and restarts. What might be up with that?
[03:46] <koshar2> dlozarie you can recursively change permissiions
[03:46] <CaBlGuY> Jack_Sparrow:  k. thanks..
[03:46] <dlozarie> so -r
[03:46] <jicksta> this is RIDICULOUS: i granted rw privileges to /var/www to everyone, then used the "confluence" user to create a new directory. i sudo mv'd the files in the old directory to the new, deleted the old directory, and renamed the new directory to the old's name. that worked....
[03:46] <jicksta> it's as if the directory inode was bad or something
[03:46] <dlozarie> koshar2: sudo chmod -r 777 /opt/subdirectory ?
[03:47] <duane> I tried envy, but it didn't work.
[03:47] <Slacker> Jack_sparrow: I can no longer use sudo. as I do not have permissions to do sudo anymore
[03:47] <gnutun> i can click buttons, but can't drag windows around or enter text anywhere
[03:47] <alex_21> How do I uncompress a .zip file from the command-line
[03:47] <alex_21> ?
[03:47] <alex_21> Please
[03:47] <wos> could anyone tell me how to find the mac address of a bluetooth device already recognized and connected with the system?
[03:47] <duane> can some one help me get compiz to work? Iam running hardy and have a ati radion 9100.
[03:47] <koshar2> jicksta its sometimes a good idea to place your web page in your home dir and symlink to it from /var/www
[03:47] <goffio> Slacker, the best way to deal with that is to boot from a livecd, mount the fs and restore the perms
[03:47] <joeb3_> ScottG489, dpkg --get-selections > outfile will copy all your installed packages to a file.
[03:48] <Slacker> Goffie: thanks. I am on a live cd. I just need to know how to restor the perms ;)
[03:48] <xevi0us> ÎÒ²ÙÄãÂèµÄ
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !zip
[03:48] <onetinsoldier> alex_21: hello, install unzip
[03:48] <Slacker> Goffie: I could do sudo chmod 777 -R / to get up and running but thats clearly not secure
[03:48] <joeb3_> ScottG489, modify outfile to remove packages you don't want.  then dpkg-set-selections <outfile .  and apt-get dselect-upgrade will install them.
[03:48] <ScottG489> joeb3_: yea the thing is i dont want to install all the packages i have install, just the ones i manually installed

[03:49] <koshar2> dlozarie check the man, man chmod
[03:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !id > xevi0us
[03:49] <ubtu99> does anyone here uses wpa_supplicant?

[03:49] <wos> could anyone tell me how to find the mac address of a bluetooth device already recognized and connected with the system?
[03:49] <kdogg> \the mouse still moves, but the num lock key does not function

[03:51] <onetinsoldier> alex_21: hello? need more help? or did you get it?
[03:51] <ScottG489> joeb3_: ok thanks this is really useful. i still dont know how ill use this on the new machine but im going out for a bit
[03:51] <nDevastator> join #linux
[03:51] <Slacker> ffio: yes but how?
[03:51] <joeb3_> ScottG489, just copy the outfile to the new machine
[03:52] <Slacker> No offense guys, but I am tired of hearing I can do it with no answer of how.... If I didnt think it was possible I wouldn't be here =/.
[03:52] <duane> I NEED HELP!  PLEASE HELP ME!  MY GRAPHICS DON'T WORK!
[03:52] <jkristheking> someone help me with my brightness problem
[03:52] <Slacker> duane what kind of graphics card do you have?
[03:52] <goffio> Slacker, do you mean how to know what the exact perms are, or you don't know the commands?
[03:52] <onetinsoldier> Slack_: what are you wanting to do?
[03:52] <PriceChild> Slacker: in short, I would suggest you reinstall.
[03:52] <wos> hcitool scan is not working, ive tried so many times
[03:52] <PriceChild> Slacker: even chmoding it all to 777 will introduce breakage
[03:52] <sonofC4> yah stupid resolution was at 640X480 and it wont go to better resolution HELP
[03:52] <alex_21> Unzip did the trick, thankyou
[03:52] <ubtu99> guys, I need help. I need to use wpa_supplicant but it won't work, says driver is busy
[03:52] <dlozarie> koshar2: got it, thanks :D
[03:53] <Slacker> Goffie I know the command I just dont know which directories get which perms
[03:53] <ezzieyguywuf> how can i make it so that any file created within a folder is made a member of the same group as the folder as opposed to becoming a member of the group of the user who created it?
[03:53] <onetinsoldier> alex_21: you're welcome!
[03:53] <Gun_Smoke> wos apropos bluetooth
[03:53] <easotokr> hi everyone, kind of help with xfce keyboard layout, please
[03:53] <kdogg> Jack_Sparrow, I just rebooted, and it hung at the peach colored loading screen right after you login, and i cannot bring up a terminal
[03:53] <Slacker> PriceChild: lol I did that last week as I accidently did the same thing last week =/.
[03:54] <kdogg> Jack_Sparrow, but the mouse works
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> kdogg NOt sure what is going on, what version of ubuntu, and what video card?
[03:54] <koshar2> kdogg can you cont alt f2 for a terminal?
[03:55] <Slacker> Well I guess I will just reinstall again =/.
[03:55] <ubtu99> kdogg: the fix seems to be to install grub to the MBR
[03:55] <onetinsoldier> Slack_: if that's what PriceChild recommends, that's what i'd do
[03:55] <Slacker> I got my home directory partitioned off anyways so all I gotta do is make the same users ^_^
[03:56] <PriceChild> Slacker: You could load a live cd and replicate things... but you're talking maybe a million files and directories?
[03:56] <Slacker> Well thanks for the help guys. It's pretty discouraging though that linux is so easily broken.
[03:56] <PriceChild> Slacker: sudo is meant for system administrators. The command line is that powerful.
[03:57] <goffio> Slacker: lol
[03:57] <nDevastator> okay so i have read the manual and understand groupadd fully as well as assigning people to groups but yet to understand how i use groups
[03:57] <Slacker> 1 accidental / instead of ~/ just ruined the system ;)
[03:57] <onetinsoldier> hehe
[03:57] <PriceChild> Slacker: you tell it to do something, and it will do it.
[03:57] <easotokr> hi guys..... can someone help me with my keyboard layout problem?
[03:57] <PriceChild> Slacker: you shouldn't do that either!
[03:57] <nDevastator> after making a group do i have to individual folders and give that group rights or what
[03:57] <yaris123456789> how do i create a swap memory in linux ?
[03:57] <Slacker> PriceChild? I shouldn't do what either?
[03:57] <PriceChild> Slacker: recursively chmod your entire home directory.
[03:57] <goffio> PriceChild, c'mon i was going to keep helping but the crying made me laugh, sorry
[03:58] <bimberi> yaris123456789: the 'mkswap' command
[03:58] <Slacker> well I keep getting a user's home .dmrc permissions need to be 644
[03:58] <Slacker> etc...
[03:58] <yaris123456789> bimberi: dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=100000
[03:58] <PriceChild> Slacker: well then something else is wrong.
[03:58] <onetinsoldier> Slacker: with Great Power comes great responsibility...    got root?
[03:58] <PriceChild> Slacker: if you discover you have a mouse in your house, do you order in an air strike to get rid of it?
[03:58] <djhedges> anyone gotten a tablet pen to work?
[03:59] <hischild> PriceChild, yup i do
[03:59] <PriceChild> Slacker: no, you set some traps and get a cat.
[03:59] <goffio> i've lost terabytes and years of work making mistakes, yet i never thought of blaming the OS for that
[03:59] <Slacker> PriceChild: No, but I certainly don't rebuild my house when I accidently lock all the doors either.
[03:59] <PriceChild> Slacker: not the best analogy... seen as there's another problem causing the mouse to be there, but you get the idea.
[03:59] <bagside> nick
[03:59] <onetinsoldier> analogies could go on forever
[04:00] <PriceChild> Slacker: you haven't locked all the doors, you've flattenned it. Its all still there but none of it is in the right place.
[04:00] <Slacker> PriceChild: I try ^_^. Thanks for the help though. Maybe Ill come bother you about my other problem later than.
[04:00] <easotokr> someone can read me??
[04:00] <bazhang> easotokr, yes
[04:00] <onetinsoldier> easotokr: yep.. what's up?
[04:01] <easotokr> thnx i wrote a couple of times without answer
[04:01] <easotokr> I'm looking for help to fix my keyboard layout, without SCIM
[04:01] <onetinsoldier> easotokr: use the up-arrow key to recall the entry and put the message into the channel again

[04:02] <aframester> word up guys
[04:02] <ubtu99> anyone here uses wpa_supplicant with wireless?

[04:02] <ubtu99> I have a macbook pro 4,1
[04:02] <ubtu99> I installed ubuntu
[04:03] <ubtu99> and network manager doesn't connect to all the networks I need
[04:03] <uber_noober> ubtu00: PM me
[04:03] <ubtu99> when I try wpa_supplicant
[04:03] <onetinsoldier> jjt0091: i don't find that as a command with 'apt-file', only as a library
[04:03] <easotokr> uber_noober: I executed but still tilt :S
[04:03] <jjt0091> onetinsoldier: it's a library?
[04:04] <jjt0091> what's the name?
[04:04] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: u there?
[04:04] <gnutun> hey all; i think ive found a bug (or other problem) with the screen brightness on-screen-display window; my brand-new ibex installation behaves well, until I adjust the brightness; the pop-up displays correctly, but then stays up for a long time, and i can no longer manipulate other windows or enter text into any apps; is there a way to disable this on-screen-display feature?
[04:04] <onetinsoldier> jjt0091: yes.. looks that way to me.. in 2 versions of xulrunner
[04:04] <goffio> jjt0091:  apt-cache search xpidl
[04:04] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: I think it worked. how can I tell if upgrade workd?  whats the command to see what version I run?
[04:05] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: oh my goodness.. i'm surprised if it went all smoothly
[04:05] <sikun> i have a hp pavilion ze4300 laptop.. it runs hot sometimes... when i boot it up and and for about a half hour it will stay around 40 C, but when i start listening to music and surfin the net doing cpu intensive stuff it shoots up to 70 C and stays there.. i have taken a can of duster and cleaned out the heatsink.. what else would make it run that hot?
[04:05] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: yeah it worked. Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
[04:05] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy:   lsb_release -a
[04:06] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: yeah upgrade worked
[04:06] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: it took ages
[04:06] <eternaljoy> :P
[04:06] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: yeah! happy happy joy joy!
[04:06] <bluntz> woohoo
[04:06]  * eternaljoy gives onetinsoldier a high 5 :)
[04:06] <onetinsoldier> thanks eternaljoy :-)
[04:07] <Torgoton> hey bluntz: Where should I ask about debian-installer segfaulting?
[04:07] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: cheers :) see ya
[04:07] <Slacker> PriceChild: I'm Back =/.
[04:07] <bluntz> #debian
[04:07] <Torgoton> bluntz: even during an Ubuntu install?
[04:07] <trifectaAFK> whats goin on?
[04:07] <kompi11> ce_kalem
[04:07] <Torgoton> trifecta: with me?
[04:07] <bluntz> guess so
[04:08] <trifecta> lol idk i just got back
[04:08] <bluntz> seems logical to me
[04:08] <bluntz> but most likely its a bad disc
[04:08] <Torgoton> OK. Well I'm doing a netboot install. It asked which install components to download. I selected none. Now the main screen is blank, and console 4 shows /sbin/debian-installer segfaults and gets restarted every ten seconds.
[04:09] <Slacker> I got a stupid install question =/.
[04:09] <onetinsoldier> ok
[04:09] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: do I need t change sources.list?  Or its al ready to go now?
[04:09] <onetinsoldier> shoot
[04:09] <bluntz> ahh netboot
[04:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Torgoton WHat tutorial are you following
[04:09] <bluntz> never got around to one of those
[04:09] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: it's all set now
[04:09] <eternaljoy> Daffy_Duck_IV: quack
[04:09] <Slacker> So I set my home directory on a separate partition, but when I reach the partition manager in the installer I am unable to set it as my home directory
[04:09] <Slacker> any suggestions?
[04:09] <bluntz> did a net install
[04:10] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: so new secutiry upgrades etc, weill be notified in taskbar?
[04:10] <bluntz> booted from floppy
[04:10] <Slacker> Oh and I am assuming I check the Manual partiotn manager option.
[04:11] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: they should be... you can always look at your repository option inthe synaptic package manager options and see if they're enabled
[04:11] <Torgoton> Jack_Sparrow: There is no tutorial. I'm using linld097 from DOS and using the 386 netboot files: linux and initrd.gz.
[04:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Slacker what format did you make the .home
[04:11] <Slacker> Oh nevermind, I think I figured i tout I am sorry.
[04:11] <Slacker> Jack_Sparrow, it is a ext3
[04:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !install
[04:11] <Slacker> Jack_Sparrow, all of my partitions are in ext3
[04:11] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: what?
[04:11] <yaris123456789> okay killall httpd is saying memomry icannot be allocated...
[04:11] <yaris123456789> -bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Slacker and the installer wont let you set sdax to mount as /home ?
[04:12] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: here...  System --> Administration -- Synaptic Package Manager   ...then
[04:12] <Torgoton> well Jack_Sparrow it's not so easy on this machine: No CD drive, no USB, won't boot from a network. So I'm using the netboot files, and it does begin the procedure. That's not the issue.
[04:13] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: at the top menu...  Settings --> Repositories
[04:13] <Slacker> Jack_Sparrow: I think I was reading it wrong, I have to click on the edit partition, than I can select use as ext3 partition, than I can set it to /home
[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Slacker correct
[04:13] <Slacker> Jack_Sparrow: Okay cool thank you. I just wont set it to format and it should be fine
[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Slacker correct again
[04:14] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: then look at the 'Updates' Tab
[04:14] <Roritharr> hi guys
[04:14] <Torgoton> Jack_Sparrow: I see there's a grub for DOS, which could be useful, but only to help start the process. I've already got that going.
[04:15] <Roritharr> just installed ubuntu intrepid on my new acer aspire one netbook... the system monitor shows 2 cpus O_o
[04:15] <Roritharr> why is that?
[04:15] <Slacker> Dual Core cpu
[04:15] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: Next to "Show new distribution releases" should it be "Normal Releases"?
[04:15] <onetinsoldier> Roritharr: perhaps Hyperthreading
[04:15] <\kira> Roritharr: it could be dual core, or hyperthreading (makes it look like dual core)
[04:16] <Roritharr> the Intel Atom is Hyperthreading capable?
[04:16] <Slacker> I dont believe so
[04:16] <Roritharr> its just an ordinary Intel Atom n270
[04:16] <Slacker> I believe the i7 seriies is the hyperthreading series
[04:16] <Stanlin> can Ubuntu run in Quad Core?
[04:16] <Roritharr> i'm quite confused what this means... i mean
[04:16] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: yes... you see the Security updates on there.. correct?
[04:16] <Roritharr> its just a netbook
[04:16] <\kira> Stanlin: yes
[04:16] <HorizonXP> Core i7 reintroduced hyperthreading
[04:16] <HorizonXP> Atom N270 is NOT dual-core, it's single
[04:17] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: yes
[04:17] <\kira> Stanlin: as far as I know
[04:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Roritharr Perhaps /j #Hardware to ask generic hardware questions
[04:17] <HorizonXP> the N3XX one is dual-core
[04:17] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: ok, it sounds like you are all fine and dandy
[04:17] <Roritharr> is there a way to fuck an ubuntu installation that hard that it thinks the system has two cpu cores instead of one?
[04:17] <uber_noober> LOL
[04:17] <HorizonXP> Roritharr: language plz
[04:17] <Roritharr> sorry
[04:18] <onetinsoldier> !ohmy
[04:18] <uber_noober> Rothiarr: seriously?
[04:18] <HorizonXP> Roritharr: but to answer your question, no
[04:18] <Slacker> are you sure its a n270?
[04:18] <\kira> Roritharr: no, unless you deliberately changed it
[04:18] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier: cheers big ears :-)
[04:18] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: :-)
[04:18] <Roritharr> yup, its right on the box
[04:18] <Slacker> and not a n720?
[04:18] <Roritharr> no, just an ordinary acer aspire one for 250€
[04:18] <Stanlin> Is it possible to overload a Quad 2 Core... i have 16 gb ram... and everything runs to fast....to fast
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[04:19] <mareen> when a program calls syslog(), how exactly does it get to where syslogd can read the message? ie, does it write to some tmp file, named pipe, etc?
[04:19] <Roritharr> its sick, do you want a proof picture? ( i just went to the system monitor because sound and wireless lan aren't working either and i hoped to get some info there..)
[04:19] <uber_noober> Rorithar: type this in terminal and post what it says: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[04:19] <derek> anyone know if there is an issue with setting up a symlink in /etc/cron.d/ to a file somewhere else that I want to run?  Doesn't appear to be working for me.
[04:20] <Nickman1> hello, i recently installed ubuntu to replace windows xp on my pc, now it runs so slow
[04:20] <Nickman1> please help
[04:20] <Roritharr> @uber_noober: model name: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60Ghz
[04:20] <LTL> mareen: /var/log/syslog
[04:20] <Stanlin>  Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad  CPU   Q9550  @ 2.83GHz
[04:20] <mareen> Nickman1, reinstall xp
[04:20] <Roritharr> processor : 1
[04:21] <uber_noober> yeah hyperthreading is  enabled in BIOS
[04:21] <Roritharr> wut
[04:21] <Roritharr> wait a second
[04:21] <uber_noober> if you only had one processor it would say on processor 0
[04:21] <mareen> LTL, so every time you call syslog(), it's written to /var/log/syslog?
[04:22] <exodus_ms> Nickman1, what exactly is running slow?
[04:22] <Roritharr> ya, just had to scroll up, there was the other one O_o
[04:22] <uber_noober> Rorithar: how many processor lines do u see?
[04:22] <uber_noober> also do u see an ht flag
[04:22] <Nickman1> well for instance, this right now, my internet, when i type, its slow to fill into the field
[04:22] <Nickman1> same as amsn, etc
[04:22] <Nickman1> and is not a slow pc
[04:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Nickman1 if you turn off effects does it speed back up
[04:23] <maddash> dmsuperman: hi
[04:23] <exodus_ms> Nickman1, go to the terminal and type --> top
[04:23] <Roritharr> how is the command to tell the wired lan card to retry acquiring an ip address ?
[04:24] <Nickman1> ive typed top
[04:24] <Nickman1> jack, not sure how to turn off effects
[04:24] <Tidus> Roritharr: simply unhook the cable and plug it back in
[04:24] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: You could try "sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0" to restart the connection
[04:24] <Tidus> networkmanager will try again automatically
[04:24] <maddash> dmsuperman: I just compiled 2.6.27.9 with gcc 4.3.2. the kernel's running fine, but I just can't get fglrx to work (argh)
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Nickman1 which version of ubuntu--specifically
[04:24] <Nickman1> 8.04
[04:25] <uber_noober> Roritharr: try it the way dmsuperman said
[04:25] <exodus_ms> Nickman1, system > preferences > appearance >
[04:25] <\kira> whats a graphical sqlite reader?
[04:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Nickman1 right click background go to wallpaper then far right tab is effects
[04:25] <uber_noober> Nickman: it's possible ur card is having a hard time with the graphics
[04:26] <maddash> dmsuperman: erm, did you still want to help me/
[04:26] <dmsuperman> maddash: Sorry, I didn't mean I could help you, I meant you'd be better off asking in here
[04:26] <Nickman1> product: 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller   is my vid card i think ?
[04:26] <Bo_> irc.scriptkiddie.org
[04:26] <uber_noober> say, does anyone know if there's a channel to helo with iptables?
[04:26] <Tidus> Nickman1: yeah, that's your video
[04:26] <Nickman1> so my vid card is making it run slow?
[04:27] <Nickman1> but with windows this could run almost any game and all
[04:27] <Nickman1> so cant be that
[04:27] <uber_noober> nickman: turn off effects... iahve the same card
[04:27] <Nickman1> ive used weaker systems with ubuntu before
[04:27] <joeb3_> uber_noober, #iptables
[04:27] <uber_noober> :-(
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Nickman1 Did you turn off effects?
[04:27] <onetinsoldier> uber_noober: perhaps there's a #firewall
[04:27] <Nickman1> i just did
[04:27] <uber_noober> joeb3: thanks
[04:27] <igoogg> after upgrading to 8.10, i had to disable pulseaudio because of skype, which only works with esound. is there a way to have skype working with pulseaudio?
[04:27] <Nickman1> it seems a bit better now
[04:27] <Nickman1> thanks guys
[04:27] <Nickman1> much appreciated
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:27] <uber_noober> np
[04:28] <trkemist> anyone here use KVM?
[04:28] <uber_noober> Nickman: you may want to switch to using XFCE
[04:28] <onetinsoldier> uber_noober: however i would check with what joeb3_ said first
[04:28] <Org-Mode> Nickman1: you cannot compare windows to linux, no matter how "pretty" and easy linux might be these days, theres still a HUGE difference from the two
[04:28] <uber_noober> thanks man
[04:28] <Cody_Duncan> hello
[04:29] <onetinsoldier> !welcome
[04:29] <Nickman1> right, but the system i ran linux on before was much weaker than this one Org-Mode
[04:29] <Nickman1> but
[04:29] <Nickman1> is better now
[04:29] <Nickman1> the effects did it
[04:29] <Nickman1> thank you
[04:29] <Nickman1> and good day/night
[04:29] <FloodBot3> Nickman1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:30] <maldito> yeah!
[04:30] <Roritharr> ah, mystery solved, hyperthreading
[04:30] <uber_noober> maldito: PM me
[04:30] <onetinsoldier> thought ao
[04:30] <onetinsoldier> thoght so
[04:31] <nDevastator> !compiz
[04:31] <dmsuperman> !gimp | pelao91
[04:31] <onetinsoldier> lol...my typing sucks
[04:31] <Org-Mode> pelao91: Picasa 3 works nativily in Linux now have you tried it?
[04:31] <dmsuperman> pelao91: If you're looking for like image sorting, f-spot
[04:31] <pelao91> yes i have
[04:31] <uber_noober> hey
[04:31] <pelao91> is pretty good
[04:31] <Cody_Duncan> Greetings.  I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 on an older Dell Dimension 2400, and am having some problems.  Installation seemed to go well enough, upon restart, I get the login screen, which appears to work, but leads me to black screen with a cursor.  I think this problem may be somewhat common, but I have not found a solution in the forums.  Any takers?
[04:31] <nDevastator> anyone mind explaining groups to me a bit ive read a couple tutorials and understand making and assigning people to groups
[04:31] <pelao91> any other one
[04:32] <nDevastator> just dont quite get the picture yet
[04:32] <uber_noober> u need u yeahasdasdajhsdjk hsalkdflsdfsd/quit
[04:32] <Org-Mode> Cody_Duncan: i have the same box, with a nvidia 5200 i had to go back to 8.04
[04:32] <onetinsoldier> Cody_Duncan: when that happens can you do this to get to a console terminal? --> Ctrl+Alt+F1
[04:32] <Jimbo> Hello all.
[04:32] <maldito> how do i do that?/ uber?
[04:32] <jjt0091> (08:39:23 PM) jjt009: hey dudes
[04:32] <jjt0091> (08:39:32 PM) jjt009: does anyone know where the current ftp server is?
[04:32] <jjt0091> (08:39:38 PM) jjt009: firefox src repository
[04:32] <jjt0091> (08:39:47 PM) jjt009: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/
[04:32] <jjt0091> (08:39:49 PM) jjt009: i'm linked here
[04:32] <FloodBot3> jjt0091: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:32] <jjt0091> (08:39:58 PM) jjt009: but this only goes up till 1.8
[04:32] <Cody_Duncan> I cannot get a terminal.
[04:33] <Jimbo> installed apache then php5. now does one have to manually configure apache for php?
[04:33] <uber_noober> sorry maldito...let's try that again
[04:33] <Rawbutt> Hi. im having problems adding 2 more panels to my desktop for the full cube effect on compiz. any advice
[04:33] <onetinsoldier> Cody_Duncan: i don't know right-offhand then. might have to do what Org-Mode said
[04:33] <exodus_ms> igoogg, you can try starting Skype with the option padsp skype
[04:33] <fxhp> Jimbo please route that question to ##php
[04:33] <Roritharr> that ofcourse doesn't solve the mystery of why i get this sick error message everytime i try to test my audio playback: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 !" "audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink:" "Could not open audio device for playback."
[04:33] <Cody_Duncan> I used to have 7.10 installed, but when I tried to upgrade, it got halfway through, then froze, and then I couldn't really get anythiing working, as in, it would not even load up, so I burned a few disks (Desktop and alternate install methods) and have been trying a reinstall.
[04:33] <joeb3_> Jimbo, install libapache2-mod-php5.  no config needed
[04:34] <igoogg> exodus_ms: padsp?
[04:34] <exodus_ms> pulseaudio
[04:34] <Cody_Duncan> Also, I just today, before trying to install Ubuntu, installed some new RAM, so now I have a gig, rather than the stock 256.
[04:34] <Jimbo> fxhp, so ubuntu's basic install doesn't take care of it? Installing libapache2 is no problem. google is not problem either. didn't want to work more if it's already configured.
[04:34] <Jimbo> joeb3_, thanks. :)
[04:34] <Roritharr> exodus_ms, so i have to?
[04:35] <joeb3_> Jimbo, after install 'a2enmod php5'
[04:35] <exodus_ms> Roritharr, sorry, that was for igoogg
[04:35] <Org-Mode> Jimbo: yea if you dont install libapache or config it manaully, firefox will just try to download your website as a .php and whatnot
[04:35] <Roritharr> np
[04:35] <Jimbo> joeb3_, ok libapache2 is already there.
[04:35] <igoogg> exodus_ms: thanks, i'am looking into it right now.
[04:35] <Roritharr> anyone with an idea what this strange error tries to tell me?
[04:35] <fxhp> Jimbo I guess the best way to test is to attempt to load a php page
[04:36] <Cody_Duncan> Org-Mode, would it be worth trying 8.04?
[04:36] <Org-Mode> oh god yes
[04:36] <Org-Mode> 8.04 rocks
[04:36] <joeb3_> Org-Mode, 8.10 rocks harder with 64 bit
[04:36] <Org-Mode> Cody_Duncan: its a LTS (long term support) :)
[04:36] <Cody_Duncan> well, what I mean is, I am trying to use 8.10, but it is not working
[04:36] <onetinsoldier> lol..  Version Wars!
[04:36] <Org-Mode> lol
[04:37] <Cody_Duncan> well, I'll download an alt disk torrent, burn it, and give it a whirl
[04:37] <Org-Mode> joeb3_: but 8.10 not a LTS :P
[04:37] <joeb3_> Org-Mode, you got me there....
[04:37] <dmsuperman> Org-Mode, joeb3_: Let's take the version discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic please, thanks :)
[04:38] <Jimbo> joeb3_, the a2enmod doesn't exist.
[04:39] <jaw> Figured out a silly Evolution-Exchange trick.  I read numerous threads of an issue connecting to exchange in Evolution.  Evolution ask you repeatedly for a password.  It turns out to be a silly bug.  If you type in you exchange mailbox manually it doesn't work.  You have to authenticate and let Evolution do populate it.  I feel like a moron for not thinking of it 4 hours and 4 reinstalls ago.
[04:39] <Cody_Duncan> anyone mind telling me what the difference is between LTS and nonLTS?
[04:39] <detrate> hi, maybe this is a dumb question but can you fsck a swap partition?
[04:39] <Org-Mode> !LTS
[04:39] <dmsuperman> Cody_Duncan: LTS means it's a Long Term Support
[04:39] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: apt-file search a2enmod    apache2.2-common: /usr/sbin/a2enmod
[04:39] <joeb3_> Jimbo, do you have apache2 ?
[04:39] <dmsuperman> Cody_Duncan: Basically, it lasts much longer than the 6-month release cycle in terms of support and repositories
[04:39] <jaw> the bugs in lts last longer
[04:40] <Org-Mode> lol jaw
[04:40] <Cody_Duncan> jaw, a joke I'm guessing
[04:40] <Jimbo> joeb3_, yes just installed apache2. Verified it works.
[04:40] <vermont> how can I sync the external volume control (on my keyboard) with the new device I've chosen?
[04:41] <exodus_ms> igoogg, try this, ti might help, worth a shot --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/91978/
[04:41] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, apt-file is not found. apt-cache search finds nothing.
[04:41] <Crazytom> what is the name of the grub file in /etc
[04:41] <igoogg> exodus_ms: thanks. :)
[04:41] <Cody_Duncan> Org-Mode, should I use the Desktop install, or the alternate disk?
[04:42] <dmsuperman> Crazytom: You mean /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[04:42] <michael__> #ubuntu
[04:42] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: apt-file is not found? you don't have apt-file installed then..    sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update
[04:42] <trkemist> Anyone here use libvirt and or KVM(?)
[04:42] <Crazytom> dmsuperman, that's it thanks
[04:42] <c0r3> wich the exactly quantity i have to use in my swap partition?
[04:42] <Roritharr> please, anyone with an idea what might cause this strange ALSA error?
[04:43] <michael__> Hey can someone help me? Every time I start up my computer it detects and runs my intel chipset iinstead of my graphics card.
[04:43] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: Gotta pastebin your error for us to know what you're talking about ;)
[04:43] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[04:43] <c0r3> I have 768 megabytes of RAM
[04:43] <koshar2> c0r3 theres no exact quantity
[04:43] <dmsuperman> c0r3: Usually, 1.5x the amount of RAM you have, and generally no more than 2GB
[04:43] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, 8.10 intrepid.
[04:43] <cubexde> Hey I need help using Audacity on 8.10
[04:43] <dmsuperman> c0r3: So for you I'd say 1.5GB just to play it safe, it can't hurt to have extra
[04:44] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, running apt-file update....
[04:44] <koshar2> cubexde whats the prob
[04:44] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: ok.. roger.. then what is the output of   dpkg -l apache2.2-common   ...?
[04:44] <Roritharr> http://rafb.net/p/XloLru56.html
[04:44] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: roger that
[04:44] <Roritharr> i tried googling it
[04:44] <c0r3> hmm
[04:44] <pelao91> what is  Audacity
[04:44] <dmsuperman> michael__: You could try disabling the integrated video in your BIOS, and make sure nothing's plugged into it
[04:44] <michael__> Hey can someone help me? Every time I start up my computer it detects and runs my intel chip set instead of my graphics card I'm running version 8.04
[04:44] <cubexde> koshar2: I am trying to record the sounds being played by my system without using a loopback cable. I read somewhere online it is possible but I can't figure it out
[04:44] <Roritharr> and some people seem to have the same error, but i find no solution that suits me
[04:44] <koshar2> pelao91 its an audio application
[04:44] <michael__> how do I do that?
[04:45] <red-sheep> Quick & Easy Question -- What's the solution for occasional errors with file extracting from Archiver -- Eg -- Can't extract file -- (null).
[04:45] <pelao91> ok thanks
[04:45] <koshar2> \cubexde i think it depends on the mixer
[04:45] <red-sheep> !zip > red-sheep
[04:45] <vermont> I want the volume control on my keyboard to control ALSA PCM...but right now it controls RTP multicast...how can I fix this?
[04:45] <\kira> whats a graphical sqlite reader?
[04:45] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: That means your audio device is locked
[04:45] <Ashex> what's the command to show where files for a package are installed?
[04:45] <dmsuperman> Ashex: dpkg -L package
[04:45] <vermont> cubexde, I just did that like 15 minutes ago, hold on I'll find the link
[04:45] <Roritharr> dmsuperman, how to unlock it?
[04:45] <koshar2> cubexde thats what pulseaudio is trying to address
[04:45] <Cody_Duncan> Org-Mode: should I use the Desktop install, or the alternate disk?
[04:45] <cubexde> koshar2: I just have on-board 5.1 sound.
[04:45] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: Make sure you close whatever else may be using it
[04:45] <cubexde> vermont: Cool, thanks
[04:45] <onetinsoldier> Ashex: dpkg -L <package> | less
[04:45] <Ashex> dmsuperman, thanks
[04:46] <onetinsoldier> i'm too slow
[04:46] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: Flash is a major problem in that department, completely close firefox or whatever browser if it's open
[04:46] <Roritharr> well, the audio settings are the only thing running... lets take a look at top
[04:46] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: Flash tries to lock and keep the audio device
[04:46] <cubexde> koshar2: Pulseaudio?
[04:46] <vermont> cubexde: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5135173#post5135173 (I'm using 8.10 too)
[04:46] <cubexde> vermont: Thanks, I will check it out
[04:46] <exodus_ms> !audio
[04:46] <Org-Mode> Cody_Duncan: you should be ok with the live CD to install 8.04, or have you had probs with 8.04 in the past?
[04:46] <koshar2> cubexde is your source available in the mixer?
[04:47] <cubexde> koshar2: I am not sure what you are talking about, I am trying vermont's suggestion and will get back to you if it doesn't work
[04:47] <Roritharr> there is nothing running the could possibly use alsa
[04:47] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, ok, it shows some stuff. Do you want the whole result? Or just something....
[04:47] <dmsuperman> Cody_Duncan: As long as you don't have a nvidia 9xxx video cards, the livecd should work fine
[04:47] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, meaning something specific.
[04:47] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: what show some stuff? which command have you done?
[04:48] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: Try restarting alsa and pulseaudio
[04:48] <koshar2> cubexde i suspect his link will fill you in about the mixer ect
[04:48] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart && sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart
[04:48] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, dpkg -l apache2.2-common
[04:48] <Cody_Duncan> Org-Mode: I haven't tried 8.04, I used to have 7, but I got problems when updating to 8.10
[04:48] <dmsuperman> Jimbo: Case matters, perhaps you mean dpkg -L apache2.2-common?
[04:49] <dmsuperman> Jimbo: Or are you only verifying that it's installed?
[04:49] <Org-Mode> you cant jump versions from 7.10 to 8.10
[04:49] <Org-Mode> Cody_Duncan: clean install would be better anyways
[04:49] <michael__> Is there anyway to just change the default graphic cards setting?
[04:49] <Cody_Duncan> dmsuperman: I don't know what kind of card is in it.  It used to be my brother's, but he treated it like crap, and it acted as such, so I am resurrecting it via Ubuntu (as he lost the XP installer) for my parents
[04:49] <Roritharr> still the same error dmsuperman
[04:49] <Jimbo> dmsuperman, only running what onetinsoldier asked me to run. :) No idea what either does....
[04:49] <dmsuperman> Cody_Duncan: If it's not brand new (like less than a year old) then it likely is fine
[04:50] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: ok... what does this show you...  dpkg -l  apache2.2-common | awk '/^ii/ {print $2}'
[04:50] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: Then I'm not sure...I gabe up on audio issues and just disabled pulseaudio
[04:50] <Cody_Duncan> dmsuperman: are you just concerned with drivers or something, because I'm positive the hardware in it is stock (other than the RAM I just put in) and supported, as I've had a successful install before
[04:50] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, that shows the fielname: apache2.2-common
[04:50] <dmsuperman> Cody_Duncan: Oh, then you should be fine :)
[04:51] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: and...  ls -l /usr/sbin/a2enmod  ...?
[04:51] <Roritharr> erm, so just killall pulseaudio?
[04:51] <Roritharr> or what?
[04:51] <Org-Mode> Dell 2400's are like 3 years old so you should be fine Cody_Duncan
[04:51] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, file exists.
[04:51] <Abraham> Hi all
[04:51] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: perhaps earlier.. you weren't trying to run the a2enmod as root user
[04:52] <dmsuperman> Heh, 2400's are a bit older than that
[04:52] <Cody_Duncan> Org-Mode: I think this machine is like 6 years old
[04:52] <mn> How do I get an OS which I cp from another partition to work correctly?
[04:52] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, sorry, the original problem was that while trying to do sudo apt-get install a2enmod, it said that didn't exist.
[04:52] <dmsuperman> I got a 3000 for my first personal PC like 5 years ago
[04:52] <Abraham> I need to know how to gain acces to a windows desktop by having their IP
[04:52] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: ok
[04:52] <bwayne> mn: edit /etc/fstab, /etc/mtab, for starters.
[04:52] <Roritharr> dmsuperman, how to get rid of pulseaudio?
[04:52] <the_dark_warrio> I've installed another linux on my laptop, and I had to create a second partition, one for ubuntu and another for fedora. But now I deleted the fedora partition with GParted, and I wanted to have one partition again for Ubuntu. Is it  possible?
[04:53] <qcjn2> whats the rooter adress again 127.0.0.1
[04:53] <Org-Mode> well the Dell Demension 2400 that i got from Dell's website was 3 years ago , maybe they had it sitting around for a couple years
[04:53] <dmsuperman> mn: You have to make sure go delete all the special folders in the root, such as /dev /proc /sys etc and recreate them as normal empty folders, then edit /etc/fstab and make sure it's pointing to the proper filesystem
[04:53] <mn> bwayne: ah, i forgot mtab! i did edit fstab and menu.lst though
[04:53] <dmsuperman> mn: And finally make sure /boot/grub/menu.lst points to the proper partition as well
[04:53] <uber_noober> Abraham: why>
[04:54] <Abraham> just wanna try to see if it works
[04:54] <mn> dmsuperman: is there any list of these special folders?
[04:54] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: You can't normally, I edited /etc/init.d/pulseaudio and put "exit" at the top, then did "killall pulseaudio" and finally under sound settings I changed everything from default to ALSA and told VLC and mplayer to use alsa as well
[04:54] <dmsuperman> !files
[04:54] <dmsuperman> mn: See that factoid, it explains what each of the root directories are for
[04:54] <Roritharr> and then it worked?
[04:54] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, probably better to just create a manual entry for apache.
[04:54] <mn> k
[04:54] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: from earlier...    joeb3_: Jimbo, after install 'a2enmod php5'     ...i believe that joeb3_ meant to do that as a command
[04:55] <koshar2> the_dark_warrio it is possable
[04:55] <dmsuperman> mn: If I remember correctly, /tmp needs to be emptied, /sys needs to be replaced with an empty dir, /dev needs to be replaced with an empty dir, and /proc needs to be replaced with an empty dir
[04:55] <joeb3_> onetinsoldier, right
[04:55] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: as root..   a2enmod php5
[04:55] <dmsuperman> mn: And make sure the permissions on them are the same
[04:55] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, I see. That's cool. I have run it and it says module enabled.
[04:55] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, as sudo ....
[04:55] <onetinsoldier> yeah!!1
[04:55] <the_dark_warrio> koshar2: How can I do it? I tried resizing my ubuntu partition, but gparted seems not able to do this
[04:55] <joeb3_> Jimbo, now test with a php file
[04:55] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: yes root = sudo
[04:56] <mn> dmsuperman:  I get an error that says GDM cannot write to $HOME.  How might I fix this?
[04:56] <koshar2> the_dark_warrio you will need to use a live disk because you will have the drive "mounted" also backup first as things can go wrong
[04:56] <dmsuperman> mn: You need to chown your home directory to yourself
[04:56] <djhedges> any suggestions for apps on a tablet pc?
[04:56] <onetinsoldier> mn: ls -ld ~/
[04:57] <dmsuperman> mn: sudo chown -R your_user:your_user /home/your_user
[04:57] <the_dark_warrio> koshar2: hmm. I think I will just leave it. Thanks for the answers
[04:58] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, it doesn't process.
[04:58] <mn> dmsuperman: i can't even login because GDM can right to this directory, so i can't change my permissions.  If I drop to terminal though it gives username@localhost$ and won't allow sudo
[04:58] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: you'll need joeb3_ 's help with that
[04:58] <dmsuperman> mn: Restart in recovery mode, it'll let you login as root
[04:58] <dmsuperman> mn: Then do it from there, and you don't need sudo
[04:59] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, thanks. :)
[04:59] <Jimbo> joeb3_, if have a minute.... :)
[04:59] <koshar2> the_dark_warrio its always a good idea to have a backup and also a good idea to have your data on a different partition to the system
[04:59] <mn> dmsuperman: alright, i'll try it.
[04:59] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: you're welcome.. use and enjoy apt-file :-)
[04:59] <joeb3_> Jimbo, restart apache.  sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[04:59] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, :)
[04:59] <hashbrowns> I just installed ubuntu in a dualboot scenario and windows still automatically boots.  What can I do about this>
[05:00] <Jimbo> joeb3_, restarted apache twice. no difference.
[05:00] <Roritharr> hum, if i killall pulseaudio the error disappears, but sound is still dead :(
[05:00] <dmsuperman> hashbrowns: What did you use for your bootloader?
[05:00] <Jimbo> joeb3_, no reference to PHP in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[05:00] <the_dark_warrio> koshar2: I'm always in doubt about how to distribute data in my hard drive. Is it good practice to leave a partition for home? I've already searched on the web, and didn't find good things
[05:01] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: After you kill it, restart alsa again (sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart)
[05:01] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: And if it's still confused, reboot (I know I know, it's not the way to do it, but sound issues sometimes just need a good reboot)
[05:01] <mn> dmsuperman:  I'll be back to let you know the results.  Thnx for the help! :)
[05:02] <hashbrowns> dmsuperman: well I dont know if it installed GRUB or not. I'm guessing not since windows still auto boots.  How can I install grub without having to install ubuntu again?
[05:02] <exodus_ms> !grub
[05:02] <dmsuperman> hashbrowns: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[05:03] <onetinsoldier> exodus_ms: i've made the same mistake with that.... he hasn't lost Windows... quite the opposite
[05:03] <exodus_ms> onetinsoldier, cool, thanks :)
[05:03] <pelao91> picasa is good for pictures is there any other to try?
[05:03] <xxgodsmackxx321> http://www.rewards1.com/index.php?referrer_id=546476
[05:03] <onetinsoldier> exodus_ms: doh! nvm me. i see it has a link ona grub how-to!
[05:04] <exodus_ms> onetinsoldier, lets hope hashbrowns sees it too :)
[05:04] <onetinsoldier> exodus_ms: yeah
[05:05] <dmsuperman> pelao91: f-spot
[05:05] <Jimbo> joeb3_, ok finally it worked.
[05:05] <dmsuperman> pelao91: But honestly, in my opinion, picasa is the best one
[05:05] <pelao91> cool
[05:05] <joeb3_> Jimbo, good.
[05:05] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: sweet.can we visit your web site now? :-)
[05:06] <Jimbo> joeb3_, forgot to change the extension to .php.
[05:06] <Steve132> hey...
[05:06] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, hehe, it's just for learning php. :)
[05:06] <pelao91> ok thanks i just want to try other ones
[05:06] <Steve132> Can anyone help me with a broadcom wifi card 4306?
[05:06] <exodus_ms> pelao91, --> http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/top-100-of-the-best-useful-opensource-applications/
[05:06] <Jimbo> joeb3_, onetinsoldier thank you both. :)
[05:06] <uber_noober> Steve132: wgat's the prob?
[05:06] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: cool. i wasn't really expecting you to have a web-site anyway with having just got it installed. ;-)
[05:06] <Steve132> I got close to somewhere with ndiswrapper following this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=340689
[05:06] <pelao91> thanks
[05:07] <onetinsoldier> Jimbo: have fun, take care
[05:07] <Steve132> like, it shows up under iwconfig
[05:07] <MichaelJackson> i would think the light and you were already told, like, nah too lazy
[05:07] <uber_noober> Steve132: PM m
[05:07] <Steve132> no prob
[05:07] <MichaelJackson> evanr, it all the prob
[05:07] <Roritharr> finally, i hear something, just over the connected headphones and extremly silent, but i hear something
[05:07] <Jimbo> onetinsoldier, :)
[05:07] <Jimbo> nite all! :)
[05:08] <n8__> hello
[05:08] <GuitarInc1> hello.
[05:08] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: Run "alsamixer" from the command line and make sure all yoru channels are turned up
[05:08] <Steve132> uber_noober...I don't know why, but apparently I can't
[05:08] <Steve132> hold on, let me leave and come back
[05:09] <n8__> just installed ubuntu and my hidden restore partition was automatically recognized.  how do i remove its entry from 'Places' in gnome panel?
[05:09] <hang3r>  g'day all, I have a stock kubuntu install, at KDM the mouse and keyboard will not work, mouse disappears after a couple of seconds and I can't login, if i jump into a console and kill Xorg I can startx and KDE appears to load fine, however the mouse and keyboard still don't work. What is going on? Never have this problem with ubuntu
[05:09] <n8__> have already removed it from grub
[05:09] <joeb3_> n8__, remove it from /etc/fstab ?
[05:09] <cubexde> vermont: Thanks much! That worked great.
[05:10] <yaris123456789> anyway to limit the total amount of memory apache can use
[05:10] <n8__> joeb3: it is not in fstab
[05:10] <cubexde> koshar2: Thanks for helping me :)
[05:10] <n8__> is not mounted, just listed under 'Places'
[05:10] <dmsuperman> joeb3_: The places folder automatically recognizes drives with labels
[05:10] <kc8pxy> what would cause my on-board sound ports to not show in lspci?   disabled in bios only?
[05:10] <dmsuperman> joeb3_: Regardless of mount status
[05:11] <n8tuser2> hang3r -> can you post in pastebin your xorg.conf  file?
[05:11] <onetinsoldier> kc8pxy: if they are disabled in the bios, then they won't be detected
[05:11] <n8__> dmsuperman: so how would i prevent it from showing the hidden restore partition?
[05:11] <kelvin911> hello i dont know why my desktop icons disappear and i cant click on desktop
[05:11] <kc8pxy> onetinsoldier:  is that the only way it wouldn't show?
[05:12] <dmsuperman> n8__: No idea, honestly, I don't use the places menu or nautilus ;)
[05:12] <onetinsoldier> kc8pxy: if there is not a linux kernel driver for the type of sound card, i think something would still show in lspci, but i might show as an unknown
[05:12] <n8__> dmsuperman: haha, just would hate for another user to try to access it
[05:12] <n8tuser2> n8__ -> gconf-editor  and somewhere in nautilus - i think volume manager, disable show all volumes something like that..
[05:13] <mysticdarkhack> Hey all
[05:13] <dmsuperman> n8__: I don't let anybody on my computer either hahaha
[05:13] <onetinsoldier> kc8pxy: but that would only be the case if it's not disabled in the bios
[05:13] <Roritharr> thanks dmsuperman
[05:13] <stan> Why does my vi not work right under putty?  (It doesnt like my arrow keys in insert mode; it inserts 'A' and 'B' for up and down isntead of scrolling)
[05:13] <mysticdarkhack> Anyone here know a good bandwidth cap monitor that ubuntu can use.
[05:13] <Roritharr> it works now
[05:13] <n8__> dmsuperman: true to that. this just annoys me..would like it to stay hidden ha
[05:13] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: Did you get it working?
[05:13] <mysticdarkhack> tried searching for it on google but no luck
[05:13] <dmsuperman> n8__: Take a look at n8tuser2's suggestion
[05:14] <stan> mysticdarkhack, mrtg?
[05:14] <Roritharr> ya, pulseaudio killed, restarted alsa, pushed everything in the alsamixer to the top and it worked
[05:14] <Roritharr> :D
[05:14] <fwaokda_> my "System>Preferences" menu has gotten really big... is there anyway I can make it into several menus side by side instead of the scrolling function it uses by default?
[05:14] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: Fantastic :D
[05:14] <Roritharr> no i hope after a reboot it stays that way :/
[05:14] <Roritharr> +w
[05:14] <mysticdarkhack> stan, does it work?
[05:15] <puremichael> Hi! can i brighten/darken the screen by xserver? if i turn of the brightness of my monitors they begin to peep
[05:15] <hashbrowns> dmsuperman: I did what that link said and it didnt work.
[05:15] <Brack101> Hi there
[05:15] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: As long as you edit /etc/init.d/pulseaudio and add "exit" at the top, to prevent it from starting agian, it should be fine
[05:15] <Roritharr> it seems, since the ubuntu boot sound played, for the first time :D
[05:15] <dmsuperman> hashbrowns: How many hard drives?
[05:15] <stan> mysticdarkhack, what do you mean? its a reporting library.. I use it to track bandwidth usage on > 1k servers .. and millions of others use it on millions of other servers/routers.. waht does 'does it work' mean; exactly?
[05:16] <dmsuperman> Roritharr: Heh, I don't hear that noise. No idea why, it just doens't make the login noise anymore hahaha
[05:16] <hashbrowns> dmsuperman: 3 all sata. 2 are 250GB and 1 is 500GB
[05:16] <cygoku_> Question : I am under Intrepid Ibex and I would like to know if it is safe to update the GTK+ from GTK+2.14.4 to GTK+2.14.6 ?!?!
[05:16] <stan> cygoku_, sure.
[05:16] <mysticdarkhack> stan, well what about those that don't have a router and will it still work?
[05:16] <Brack101> so the official Ubuntu help article for VMware tells me to use the "vmware-install.pl" file but I don't have that, I just have VMware-Workstation-6.5.0-118166.i386 is there some way I can still install it?
[05:17] <mysticdarkhack> stan, I probably will get a router soon though since I'm getting a laptop
[05:17] <dmsuperman> hashbrowns: Are you sure you installed it to the same hard drive that BIOS boots from?
[05:17] <stan> mysticdarkhack,  are you slow or retarded?  I use it to monitor >1k servers, and ~40 routers.
[05:17] <stan> Brack101, how did you get vmware-workstation.......i386?
[05:18] <n8tuser2> stan come on be nice, the holidays are upon..
[05:18] <hashbrowns> dmsuperman: no im not sure. How do I check this?
[05:18] <onetinsoldier> cygoku_: what method would you be using to update it? is it in an ubuntu update? i haven't updated for a few days
[05:18] <Roritharr> hum, is there a tool with which i can test the webcam?
[05:18] <cygoku_> stan : So it is safe ?
[05:18] <Brack101> stan: I got 100% legally...
[05:18] <dmsuperman> hashbrowns: You'd have to boot into BIOS and look around, it's usually under like "Standard CMOS features" or something similar
[05:18] <cygoku_> onetinsoldier : No, I will install it from source tarball.
[05:18] <mysticdarkhack> stan, no but just didn't get what you are saying. Although I get the idea now and thanks for the help.
[05:18] <stan> Brack101, jesus dude... I didnt ask if you stole it :)
[05:19] <dmsuperman> hashbrowns: Make sure the boot order tells it to boot to the drive with grub first
[05:19] <Brack101> stan: I downloaded it :)
[05:19] <stan> mysticdarkhack, What are you tryign to do? log your network usage per host?
[05:19] <onetinsoldier> cygoku_: ok.. you'd batter make sure you let stan know that's how you're planning on doing it
[05:19] <stan> Brack101, VMWare doesnt distribute files that come with a .i386 extension.. so you didnt download that file.
[05:20] <cygoku_> Stan .. Is it safe to update the GTK+ from GTK+2.14.4 to GTK+2.14.6 from source tarball?!?!
[05:20] <stan> cygoku_, !!! haha.
[05:20] <cygoku_> stan whats funny ?
[05:20] <hashbrowns> dmsuperman: yes it is.
[05:20] <jaw> Anyone know of an app to copy double layer 8gig dvds?
[05:20] <stan> cygoku_, good luck my friend.
[05:20] <halycon> hi can somebody tell me what the command is to run the Add/Remove programs program in Ubuntu?
[05:20] <jaw> I mean backup
[05:20] <dmsuperman> hashbrowns: And you installed grub to the MBR?
[05:20] <mysticdarkhack> stan, just monitor my cable usage since comcast put a cap to 250gg/mth
[05:20] <Roritharr> hum, why is the "Cablenetwork" button grey?
[05:20] <onetinsoldier> cygoku_: that would be a, no
[05:21] <cygoku_> hum
[05:21] <hashbrowns> dmsuperman: I think so.  Thats what that link you gave me said that would do and I followed the guide to the T.
[05:21] <stan> mysticdarkhack, Download and install 'Cacti' is probably the easiest way.. I think it comes with a network usage report built in.. if not.. its trivial to add one.
[05:21] <Diiphantom> anyone knows about this: http://subversion.tigris.org/
[05:21] <Subdolus> Can anyone tell me why AVI and MPG movies play perfectly, but mp4 movies don't? - the sound is ok but the picture is insanely lagged.. Same results in mplayer, VLC, totem

[05:22] <stan> mysticdarkhack, next buy a route that supports DD-WRT/Open-WRT ... My open-wrt router logs monthly network usage I think.
[05:22] <Diiphantom> trying to install drftpd+ but i have no idea, i installed that already but i dont know how to install it
[05:22] <dmsuperman> hashbrowns: Do you have any other installations of linux on any partitions except the one you just installed?
[05:22] <mysticdarkhack> stan, thanks
[05:22] <hashbrowns> dmsuperman: no not of linux.
[05:22] <n8__> anyone know why my broadcom wireless shows no wireless extensions?
[05:22] <dmsuperman> hashbrowns: Then honestly I'm not sure why it's booting to the windows bootloader
[05:23] <stan> whats the linux firewall called?
[05:23] <mysticdarkhack> stan, I will do that next month when I order my laptop
[05:23] <dmsuperman> stan: iptables ?
[05:23] <sketchysecurity> there are like 8 now
[05:23] <mewshi> Hello!  Could I get some assistance getting Compiz/OpenGL to work properly again?
[05:23] <hashbrowns> dmsuperman: dang.  I've been having this issue for like 2 days now.
[05:23] <onetinsoldier> !eg
[05:23] <hashbrowns> dmsuperman: no one has been able to help me fix it.
[05:23] <dmsuperman> mewshi: If you can't get help here, #compiz-fusion is a great help
[05:24] <stan> mysticdarkhack, google 'mrtg iptables' might get you started as well .. or 'mrtg iptables <your isp>' im sure someone else has done it.
[05:24] <Roritharr> is there something i can do if my window is larger than my screenheight?
[05:24] <onetinsoldier> !ubuntu-eg
[05:24] <mysticdarkhack> stan, thank
[05:24] <mewshi> Well, I tried to hook up a second monitor to my laptop (for dual-head) and now it doesn't work anymore :(  How do I fix it?
[05:25] <dmsuperman> mewshi: compiz doesn't work anymore?
[05:25] <stan> mewshi, your question is fairly ambiguous; what doesnt work?
[05:25] <mysticdarkhack> newshi what graphic card are you using?
[05:25] <legionlost> exit
[05:25] <halycon> !synaptic
[05:26] <brujo> ububtu's ?
[05:26] <n8__> mewshi: both displays have to use the same resolution for compiz/fusion to work with dual head
[05:26] <brujo> debian based!!!
[05:26] <stan> n8__, seriously?
[05:26] <dmsuperman> n8__: Not true
[05:26] <dmsuperman> n8__: I use 4 displays, 3 of them use different resolutions entirely
[05:26] <n8__> fusion is still working?
[05:26] <stan> dmsuperman, pics or it didnt happen
[05:27] <brujo> when you program a kernel module and got error "linux.h" no file or....
[05:27] <brujo> what can do?
[05:27] <mysticdarkhack> wow dmsuperman 4 display
[05:27] <stan> brujo, I drink.
[05:27] <mewshi> dmsuperman, stan, n8__, I hooked up the second monitor a long time ago.  It stopped working after that.  I disconnected it, and compiz refuses to start now, even on only one monitor
[05:27] <dmsuperman> http://picasaweb.google.com/chrisjohnson0/MyNewDesk#5269833226457774354 stan, mysticdarkhack
[05:27] <onetinsoldier> brujo: do you have the linux-headers package installed?
[05:27] <n8__> dmsuperman: back when i was running dual head with nvidia, i had to have same resolution on both
[05:28] <brujo> yes
[05:28] <brujo> i have all
[05:28] <dmsuperman> n8__: I've never ever had to run them the same resolution
[05:28] <n8__> mewshi: have you tried starting compiz manually?
[05:28] <mysticdarkhack> dmsuperman, boy what would you do on all of them?
[05:28] <halycon> !gnucash
[05:28] <dmsuperman> n8__: I think you had something misconfigured
[05:28] <dmsuperman> mysticdarkhack: I wish I had more :P
[05:28] <mewshi> Yes.  I have a forum post about this.  Hang on.
[05:28] <brujo> if i compile with -I /dev/usr/linux/etc... compile with errors but compiler get the linux.h
[05:28] <mewshi> And it's not just Compiz; I can't get the OpenGL renderer for KWin to work, and I think they're related.
[05:28] <dmsuperman> mysticdarkhack: My far right one is for monitoring stuff, here's a screenshot of it: http://pictures.cjohnson.me/Screenshots/2008-12-23-230822_1280x1023_scrot.png.php
[05:28] <hashbrowns> Installed ubuntu after windows and then installed grub. windows is still autobooting.  Anyone have a solution for this?
[05:29] <mysticdarkhack> dmsuperman, that is wild but people use 2
[05:29] <stan> dmsuperman, whats that white thing?  doesnt it cause cancer? (on the left, is that a 17", 19" wide?)
[05:29] <brujo> i need a good tutorial
[05:29] <onetinsoldier> brujo: i see. might be that it reuires a certain version of that header file
[05:29] <dmsuperman> mysticdarkhack: Then the CRT is for Photoshop and movies, since it's the only CRT (LCDs have terrible picture quality compared to CRT)
[05:29] <onetinsoldier> requires*
[05:29] <brujo> mmm
[05:29] <stan> brujo, your kernel src isnt in /dev/usr/Linux
[05:29] <onetinsoldier> i'mnot sure
[05:29] <brujo> is a very simple module
[05:29] <stan> brujo, it should be in /usr/src/linux/
[05:29] <dmsuperman> stan, mysticdarkhack: Then the 22" wide and 17" full LCDs on the left are my main monitors, I have 5 workspaces running on those
[05:29] <brujo> yes
[05:30] <stan> dmsuperman, thats depressing.. a 17" is about the same size as a 22" wide (the 22 is wider, naturally)
[05:30] <n8tuser2> dmsuperman -> how many video cards runs those 4? pci or agp?
[05:30] <dmsuperman> I run a VM 24/7, MPD, 4xgnome-terminal, 2xirssi, 1xbitlbee, thunderbird, ario, firefox, eclipse, rtorrent, mutt
[05:30] <mewshi> Hold on, I have a forum post about my issue.
[05:30] <stan> n8tuser, I run 4 monitors off my dell laptop fty.
[05:30] <stan> fyi*
[05:30] <dmsuperman> stan: That's the whole point of a widescreen, it's not supposed to be that much taller :P
[05:31] <mysticdarkhack> dmsuperman, I have to say that pretty sweet but don't think I be doing 4 anytime soon
[05:31] <dmsuperman> n8tuser2: 2xPCIex16
[05:31] <stan> dmsuperman, dont mind me.. i just bought a 37" lcd tv and realized its not any bigger than a 30" tv for most stuff :(
[05:31] <dmsuperman> stan: Yeah, TVs as monitors are pretty pointless
[05:31] <mysticdarkhack> dmsuperman, you should checkout the guys at lifehacker ow they set their monitor
[05:31] <stan> dmsuperman, what mobo do you have that runs two cards at 16x?  Most run the primary at 16, the secondary at 8x
[05:31] <dmsuperman> stan: You don't get any more pixel area than a 24"
[05:31] <mewshi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1019129 <- here it is.  This lists the error messages when I try to start compiz (or use compiz --replace)
[05:31] <stan> dmsuperman, but to play dvds -- super useful.
[05:31] <hashbrowns> Installed ubuntu after windows and then installed grub. windows is still autobooting.  Anyone have a solution for this?
[05:31] <n8tuser2> stan -> cool, you have 4 video outputs out of a laptop?
[05:32] <dmsuperman> stan: 2x16x :)
[05:32] <dmsuperman> stan: XFX 780i SLI something-or-other
[05:32] <stan> n8tuser, two -- but I have a matrox something or another (dualhead2go maybe?) off one of them.
[05:32] <stan> n8tuser, with a docking station I get a DVI + VGA
[05:32] <mewshi> So, what should I do?
[05:32] <dmsuperman> stan: Yeah, dualhead2go
[05:32] <brujo> hashbrowns are you sure you install grub after windows?
[05:32] <hashbrowns> brujo: yes
[05:33] <brujo> hashbrowns try reinstalling grub
[05:33] <n8tuser2> stan and dmsuperman cool stuff to have multiple monitor, someday when i get to upgrade my mobo.  :P
[05:33] <mysticdarkhack> Well anyway all, I'm off
[05:33] <mysticdarkhack> Night all
[05:33] <stan> mysticdarkhack, gl with that shitty isp cap
[05:33] <mewshi> Gentlemen?  What should I do?  How can I fix my problem?
[05:34] <dmsuperman> n8tuser2: Yeah, I used to run single monitor, wanted more room, found out you could do dualhead, and then I started collecting monitors from various places, and when I finally got a large enough desk I dug out my old 6600, slapped it in, and popped them on the desk
[05:34] <stan> newshi, you assume no women use linux and idle on #ubuntu?
[05:34] <hashbrowns> brujo: How exactly do I do that? I kind of a need a walkthrough of that kind of stuff.
[05:34] <dmsuperman> !women
[05:34] <brujo> mmm
[05:34] <mewshi> Well, it's a general thing.  Can I please get some help?
[05:34] <stan> mewshi, im too lazy to buffer scroll.
[05:35] <brujo> hashbrowns look in google how to install grub
[05:35] <brujo> is a lot of tutos
[05:35] <dmsuperman> mewshi: Honestly, if you can't get help in here try in #compiz-fusion
[05:35] <dmsuperman> mewshi: When they're there, they're lots of help
[05:35] <dmsuperman> mewshi: soreau and crdlb are usually the go-to guys
[05:35] <stan> dmsuperman, whats that irda receiver looking box in that pic?
[05:35] <stan> to the far right; next to the ice tea
[05:35] <mewshi> Well, it sounds more like a driver problem than a compiz problem...
[05:36] <onetinsoldier> i download a python app. it has  2 files, the python executable app/script, and then a .glade file. where should the glade file go?
[05:36] <dmsuperman> stan: IR receiever for my remote
[05:36] <dmsuperman> stan: When I sit on my couch, I can control XBMC with it :D
[05:36] <stan> lol.. figures
[05:36] <mewshi> So, what would you recommend I do?
[05:37] <stan> dmsuperman, how is XBMC under Linux?  My xbox just died.. and I <3<3<3 xmbc.. but it couldnt handle highdef rips.. and now I have this 1080p 37" tv... and a core duo laptop w/ no lcd....
[05:37] <halycon> Does anyone know where to get SharpMusique?
[05:37] <dmsuperman> stan: They ported it like almost 2 months ago :D
[05:37] <stan> mewshi, dmsuperman just gave you his recommendation.
[05:37] <dmsuperman> No, mewshi is right, it's not a compiz issue
[05:37] <stan> dmsuperman, can you just throw anything at it like xmbc on the xbox?
[05:37] <dmsuperman> It's a driver issue
[05:38] <dmsuperman> stan: Yeah, it even reads ISOs like normal DVDs and reads videos out of archives :O
[05:38] <stan> no wai.
[05:38] <dmsuperman> srsly
[05:38] <stan> does it have an interface to my newsgroups account :D
[05:39] <dmsuperman> Heh, no idea
[05:39] <dmsuperman> It works pretty sweet though as a media center app
[05:39] <stan> is it girlfriend approved?
[05:39] <dmsuperman> It's obviously still a bit buggy, being beta
[05:39] <dmsuperman> But for the most part it works great
[05:40] <dmsuperman> I dunno, almost nothing is girlfriend approved, so...
[05:40] <dmsuperman> But, it's late, I gotta get up and drive for 3 hours
[05:40] <dmsuperman> And we're offtopic here anyway :P
[05:40] <dmsuperman> So I'm headed to bed
[05:40] <tritium> holy !enter, dmsuperman
[05:40] <stan> xmbc was //almost// approved.
[05:41] <stan> then it died.
[05:41] <dmsuperman> tritium: I didn't abuse enter, just because it's dead -_-
[05:42] <hashbrowns> brujo: just did a fresh install of grub. still the same issue....
[05:42] <brujo> you have a separate HD?
[05:42] <brujo> hashbrowns, you have a separate HD?

[05:43] <reZo_> lolz

[05:44] <unknownerror> reZo_: hey

[05:45] <kc8pxy> and no sound
[05:45] <reZo> reZo_: hmm
[05:45] <reZo_> i see, it's linked with freenode.

[05:47] <hashbrowns> brujo: how would I check/correct this?
[05:47] <incadudeF> hello all
[05:48] <n8tuser2> kc8pxy -> try speakertest    dont know anything more than running that command

[05:50] <n8tuser2> brujo -> thats not a requirement, to have grub installed in mbr and primary hd ..yesh?
[05:50] <brujo> yes is a requeriment to get grub booting
[05:50] <joel367> rantradio

[05:51] <brujo> hashbrowns, you can install grub in windows
[05:52]  * stan requests a pandora player in a language other than flash
[05:52] <uber_noober> hashbrowns: u can install it on a separate partition if u wanted it
[05:54] <n8tuser2> brujo you have some kind of reference that is really indeed a requirment? how do you explain to boot from usb when usb is not the primary drive?
[05:54] <eblume> Hi - I'm having trouble getting my AR242X wireless card working. I've tracked it down to needing non-repository madwifi drivers. I can't seem to build them though, and I vaguely remember ubuntu needing a special package in order to build.
[05:54] <eblume> Does anyone know about this? Is there a special package that provides headers to build, etc.?
[05:54] <tag> Does anyone know if tracker indexes notes placed on files through nautilus?
[05:54] <brujo> in the bootable system yes
[05:55] <brujo> is  the first device to be checked
[05:55] <brujo> look
[05:55] <brujo> is the primary disc = first disc to be checked for boot,
[05:55] <brujo> if you have grub in the secondary it can;t be started
[05:56] <uber_noober> yes it can
[05:56] <brujo> but making a reference to secondary
[05:56] <uber_noober> i see your point
[05:57] <onetinsoldier> anyone here, besides me, find the man page for the 'find' command a little unwieldy and wish that they could get started learning it via interactive examples? i have found a great tool/app that does this!
[05:57] <uber_noober> share dude
[05:57] <onetinsoldier> ok
[05:58] <uber_noober> so what is it?

[05:59] <onetinsoldier> uber_noober: ya.. it's way cool, imo
[06:00] <brujo_> ups
[06:00] <n8tuser2> christophe971 -> you can leave the binaries where you have compiled it, and then run it from there?

[06:08] <zayx> mavsman - have you tried changing your icons in ~/.icons
[06:08] <qcjn2> uber_noober, it's this kind of card
[06:09] <n8tuser> bullgard4 -> i dont recall it being called node type,  its a file type
[06:09] <onetinsoldier> MrPeepers310: yeah.. how did you guess?
[06:09] <mavsman> zayx, no but i don't know where to find an icon that would be good to replace it
[06:09] <qcjn2> uber_noober, 05:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03)
[06:09] <bullgard4> n8tuser: Ah, thank you. I will enquire.
[06:09] <onetinsoldier> MrPeepers310: lol. actually, it was clone-debian
[06:09] <uber_noober> qcjn2: so u installed it and loaded the driver?
[06:10] <qcjn2> i don't know, i just followed this tutorial
[06:10] <onetinsoldier> MrPeepers310: you have me thinking about opening it..  there, better.
[06:10] <Lou_> Is there supposed to be a file named:  libc-2.3.90.so  If so, how can I download it?
[06:10] <maco> MrPeepers310: i think thats in the advanced bash scripting guide
[06:10] <kelvin911> can anyone tell me if this method work or not? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6358248#post6358248

[06:11] <qcjn2> uber_noober, i ll look
[06:11] <MrPeepers310> maco ah perfect!
[06:11] <mavsman> zayx, nevermind i just downloaded a script that did it all for me, thanks anyways though
[06:11] <uber_noober> hasbrowns: pm me
[06:11] <zayx> mavisman - ~/.icons/"packname"/128x128/places/distributor-logo.png is generaly used for the menu icon. You can find alot of icon packs at gnomelook.org or you can make your own.

[06:13] <zayx> alex_21 - ebox is accessed through your web browser using the settings ou configured it with during setup.
[06:13] <qcjn2> uber_noober, ok,
[06:13] <alex_21> Yeah, but I didn't get the setup prompts
[06:13] <eblume> Ok, read the FAQ now and no luck. My laptop's wireless card is an Atheros AR242X, and it isn't recognized by Ubuntu AMD64.
[06:14] <shoeunited> Same problem.
[06:14] <mavsman> What good icon set can I get that would mimic xp?
[06:15] <eblume> The MadWifi drivers that come with 8.10 don't detect the card, and the newest MadWifi drivers from madwifi-project.org don't compile against recent kernels.
[06:15] <Elite> Hey guys I just installed ubuntu server and its booted and tellign me that the kernel need 0:6 which isn't poresent on the CPU whats that mean?

[06:17] <onetinsoldier> just says kernel needs 0:6 ?
[06:17] <Elite> yes it says use a kernel that supports your cpu
[06:17] <onetinsoldier> Elite: what kind of CPU do you have?
[06:17] <Elite> onetinsoldier, I installed to a vm
[06:18] <onetinsoldier> Elite: oh, hmm. i don't know
[06:18] <onetinsoldier> curious though
[06:18] <Elite> I have install from this image to a VM before
[06:18] <alex_21> Elite: You can't do that. You need the cli interface on the Alternate CD
[06:18] <bikak0> hey, when i run php script trough cli , after a 10 minutes the ssh is disconnecting and tells me that connection timed out, anyone knows how to solve it ? (the php script is ok the ssh server just disconnecting)
[06:19] <maco> eblume: you need linux-backports-modules
[06:20] <maco> eblume: the problem was that about half the atheros cards work with l-b-m and half work with the included ones, but there isn't one driver that works for all, and the 2 conflict
[06:20] <supertanker> Is it possible to cross-compile 64-bit apps on a 32-bit machine?
[06:20] <koshar2> supertanker it may be possable to compile them but they wont work

[06:39] <onetinsoldier> vpew: there is a way to stop that i think... but i don't know it right offhand. it's like you have to blacklist the pcspeaker kernel module so that it doesn't get loaded upon booting. try googling for the solution
[06:40] <vpew> i dont want to turn it off entirely
[06:40] <dewente> what does means nprivileged users lp. nobody, mail . daemon ?

[06:52] <onetinsoldier> terryx: i really don't know if i can help with this kind of problem. but if you are trying to check the filesystem of a linux partition, you need the fsck command, not chkdsk

[07:12] <jjt0091> alright
[07:12] <jjt0091> one sec
[07:12] <onetinsoldier> almark1: well, i think that there might be a way to compile just a module or modules for an automatically installed kernel, but i'm not familiar with that.

[07:18] <onetinsoldier> almark1: what kind of video card do you have?
[07:18] <Jonanin> DOES IT USE FLASH OR SHOCKWAVE? HOW DO I PLAY DEBIAN
[07:18] <Poltergeist> Jonanin, debian is a linux distro, not a game
[07:18] <bhavik> hay i want to install the printer on ubentu ltsp server
[07:18] <Brack101> my swap file usage is at 14%.  Does that mean I've used up all my available physical memory?

[07:18] <kelvin911> is ubuntu netbook remix lpia or i386?
[07:18] <OmnipotentEntity> My wireless kept dropping out, I got stack traces in my kern.log that look like this: http://rafb.net/p/1r9Saa24.html it turned out to be a driver issue because I went back to the old version of madwifi (non ath5k version) and I haven't had any issues in the past few hours.  How would I file a bug using this?

[07:19] <ferfactor> what is the manin purpose of that channel macd_
[07:19] <herb> skar: mount -t devpts devpts-chroot /path/to/chroot
[07:19] <ferfactor> maco
[07:19] <maco> ferfactor: ?
[07:20] <herb> skar: there are potential security concerns with that, but it should solve your issue.
[07:20] <maco> ferfactor: oh
[07:20] <ferfactor> maco, what is the main purpose of that channel
[07:20] <ferfactor> sorry i have a tab problem D:
[07:20] <onetinsoldier> almark1: that card is too old tobe supported by the proprietary driver. stick to the open-source one. you must have a very old machine
[07:20] <vahids> #dvb
[07:20] <skar> herb:  thanks, will try it, u mean programs within chroot can grab stdin/out of programs outside it and so on?
[07:20] <maco> ferfactor: debugging & triaging bugs. this one's for support but if it turns out it's a bug not just confusion, we ask people to file bugs, and do a bit of debugging in there to figure out what all to put in the bug
[07:20] <almark1> onetinsoldier: card is old machine is much newer
[07:21] <onetinsoldier> almark1: i see
[07:21] <herb> skar: potentially, yes.
[07:21] <onetinsoldier> almark1: how new?
[07:21] <ferfactor> maco, excelent... i will go there some time :D
[07:21] <onetinsoldier> almark1: how much newer?
[07:21] <ghaleb_> hello, I'm trying to use LDAP for authentication,  I get results from ldapsearch -x,   libnss-ldap.conf , ldap.conf and  nsswitch.conf configured this way:   http://rafb.net/p/m0iGQZ77.html
[07:21] <skar> herb: ok, will not mount it during production, only during dev then :)
[07:21] <herb> skar: good plan.
[07:21] <almark1> onetinsoldier: I think 2004 or 5 maybe 6 the intel ethernet card says 2006 so...
[07:21] <maco> !ops | Jonanin is trolling
[07:21] <kelvin911> i have medibuntu.list in etc/apt/sources.list.d , should i delete it?
[07:22] <gaintsura> is there a way to set the priority of a nat forwarded connection ? I'm on the main sharing the internet with eth0, with ppp0 to my right and eth0 to my left.. 9/10 times, eth0 gets more download speed than I do and I'm technically closer to the internet, is there a way to fix that?
[07:22] <onetinsoldier> almark1: roger.. so like a Pentium 4 or similar AMD cpu?
[07:22] <almark1> its a P4 3ghz with 1gig ram its a gateway from the ppl that make gateway:P
[07:22] <j3nal> anyone know how to solve initramfs?
[07:22] <j3nal> still stuck..
[07:22] <ferfactor> who is ubottu
[07:22] <almark1> lol
[07:22] <ferfactor> what is the magnitud of the emergency?
[07:22] <majnoon> !ot
[07:23] <almark1> onetinsoldier: its about 4 years old, so.. good computer though
[07:23] <Brack101> ok so the fact that I'm using virtual memory means that I must be using up all my memory...but my RAM is only at 30% usage....how does that work?
[07:23] <ferfactor> what is trolling
[07:23] <r2-d2> hi
[07:23] <exodus_ms> !ot
[07:23] <onetinsoldier> almark1: roger... you might consider making you own custom kernel, such as the latest one available from www.kernel.org.  -->  2.6.28-rc9-git3
[07:24] <r2-d2> I don't understand why the ubuntu identify my hard disk as SCSI.
[07:24] <almark1> you don't want to be labeled one... so be nice to all and all will be nice. at least that what I try to do
[07:24] <r2-d2> Here I am, installing the 8.10 version of ubuntu operating system.
[07:24] <Brack101> r2-d2, sda doesn't necessarily mean scsi
[07:24] <genii> r2-d2: All drives are now recognised through a SCSI compatability layer
[07:24] <r2-d2> oh
[07:24] <almark1> onetinsoldier: thanks, I don't know how I am going to clone my setup, I don't have a .config file to copy to a new kernel
[07:25] <maco> almark1: should be one in /boot
[07:25] <r2-d2> I'll be back
[07:25] <onetinsoldier> almark1: you do have a .config, but you might not know, however...
[07:25] <almark1> r2-d2: i'm afraid that the new kernel only shows IDE drives as Sda sdb and so on
[07:25] <b1> jjovvvael
[07:26] <almark1> onetinsoldier: hey, you might have a point there
[07:26] <almark1> maco: thanks ;)
[07:27] <r2-d2> almark1: thank you
[07:27] <onetinsoldier> almark1: since the newer 2.6.28 kernel has numerous new options, i almost recommend going through 'all' the options and setting them up yourself. it's wht i did. but there is soooo many options, it took me an entire day. because of trying to at tleast understand some of them that i had no clue about
[07:27] <almark1> r2-d2: Your Welcome
[07:27] <Bonez> pussys
[07:27] <shyam_k> hi pls help me configure tsocks correctly..
[07:27] <maco> onetinsoldier: jaunty is on 2.6.28. just grab our .config
[07:27] <maco> Bonez: excuse me?
[07:28] <shyam_k> i can't get to know whats meant by 'reaches' keyword...
[07:28] <onetinsoldier> maco: ah-ha!
[07:28] <Bonez> FUCK
[07:28] <Bonez> YOU
[07:28] <almark1> onetinsoldier: now why and the world did that have to add more options on top of the others geez
[07:28] <skar> herb: i'm still getting the "Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)", but /dev/pts has several char device files 0-9 inside it
[07:28] <onetinsoldier> maco: thank you! where to get it easily tho?
[07:28] <NarbeH> I need help about DELL XPS 1530 Touchpad
[07:28] <Flannel> Bonez: Please watch your language.
[07:28] <maco> onetinsoldier: download the kernel source package for jaunty from packages.ubuntu.com and then pbuild it
[07:28] <Bonez> fuck off
[07:29] <r2-d2> After the installation, is it real that I have to update my sources,list ?
[07:29] <maco> r2-d2: i think it should do it during the install...
[07:29] <onetinsoldier> almark1: i'm not saying that they added a ton more options, altghough i'm sure more were added. what i am says is... i went personally wen through ALL of them myself
[07:29] <NarbeH> I need help about DELL XPS 1530 Touchpad
[07:29] <r2-d2> maco: great
[07:29] <exodus_ms> !details | NarbeH,
[07:29] <shyam_k> hi i just have an ip: port as info regarding the proxy
[07:29] <shyam_k> and this browser works fine with that..
[07:30] <shyam_k> but i donno how to configure tsocks with this ip: port
[07:30] <j3nal> no one here knows initramfs?
[07:30] <NarbeH> exodus_ms: I have problem with Touchpad in Dell xps 1530.
[07:30] <herb> skar: sorry.  so what I've done in my chroots in the past: 'mount --bind /dev /path/to/chroot/dev' and 'mount -t devpts devpts-chroot /path/to/chroot/dev/pts'
[07:30] <shyam_k> what should be given as "reaches"?
[07:30] <Bonez> DDOS
[07:30] <almark1> onetinsoldier: ok thanks I'll try it kernel.org? right
[07:30] <herb> skar: it's possible because we didn't do the first, the 2nd didn't solve your problem.
[07:30] <almark1> thank you!
[07:30] <onetinsoldier> maco: roger that. not sure what pbuild is tho. however, for myself, i already have a custom .config for 2.6.28. the guy who would want the jauny one is almark1
[07:30] <onetinsoldier> almark1: talk to maco
[07:30] <skar> herb: so /dev is the HOST dev dir, and pts is remounted as devpts-chroot?
[07:31] <herb> skar: exactly
[07:31] <shyam_k> i mean about configuring tsocks.conf
[07:31] <NarbeH> I have problem with Touchpad in Dell xps 1530.
[07:31] <maco> almark1: you can get jaunty's kernel from packages.ubuntu.com and use the pbuilder application to build the source package into a .deb that you can install
[07:31] <skar> herb: ok thanks will try it
[07:31] <maco> onetinsoldier: pbuilder is an app that builds source packages into binary packages
[07:31] <almark1> maco: thanks, where is the info so I can do this?
[07:31] <herb> skar: welcome. hope it works.
[07:31] <r2-d2> To install the beryl and magic icons, is it true that what I only have to do is apt-get install beryl ?
[07:31] <r2-d2> It better not to
[07:31] <r2-d2> hehe
[07:31] <maco> r2-d2: beryl is dead
[07:32] <maco> almark1: there's an ubuntu wiki page on how to compile a kernel
[07:32] <maco> r2-d2: it's compiz fusion now
[07:32] <r2-d2> aixgl, compiz
[07:32] <onetinsoldier> almark1: yes.. if you want to compile the latest and need help i might be able to help a little. but it's late here and not sure how much longer i'll be up
[07:32] <r2-d2> maco: you think so?
[07:32] <almark1> maco: its not like other distos is it?
[07:32] <NarbeH> please help me :(
[07:32] <onetinsoldier> maco: why not use  kernel-package  to make it?
[07:32] <Brack101> r2-d2 it's built into Ubuntu now
[07:32] <almark1> onetinsoldier: np
[07:32] <Gracenotes> hey. I'm having problems playing an http stream which apparently is actually an rtsp stream: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dc8381ce
[07:32] <Gracenotes> it's from MIT's OpenCourseWare
[07:32] <maco> onetinsoldier: never heard of it
[07:33] <maco> onetinsoldier: pbuilder's what i always use for building packages
[07:33] <Gracenotes> the links to the media are here: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/index.htm
[07:33] <Gracenotes> I can't figure out what's wrong -- any ideas?
[07:33] <skar> herb: yup this works, though i don't like the idea of all /dev files like sda etc being accessible inside the chroot, with pts being remounted anyway, why does this cause a problem?
[07:33] <Starnestommy> NarbeH: you have to be specific.  What exactly do you need help with with the touchpad?
[07:33] <almark1> maco: I mean just point me to it or I can look for the help
[07:33] <r2-d2> Brack101: well, I see that's only thing to do after the installation, write aptitude install compiz, correct?
[07:34] <onetinsoldier> maco:  i use kernel-package... it makes kernel .deb packages from compiling kernel from source. made for this specific purpose in debian and debian based system
[07:34] <NarbeH> Starnestommy: the touchpad isn't work. for example if i touch it the mouse cursor is doing crazy thing :-s
[07:34] <Starnestommy> NarbeH: which version of ubuntu are you using?
[07:34] <herb> skar: yeah. it is ugly.  it's fine for testing, but I certainly wouldn't go to production with it. I would suggest using a more complete virtualization system if you need this type of functionality. openvz, kvm, vmware, virtualbox come to mind.
[07:34] <NarbeH> Starnestommy: Ubuntu 8.10 Kubuntu 8.10
[07:34] <maco> almark1: almark1 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[07:34] <onetinsoldier> maco: but i may check out pbuild for compiling source apps! thanks
[07:35] <almark1> maco: thanks a lot :)
[07:35] <NarbeH> Starnestommy: plz :( help. i bought my laptop yesterday
[07:35] <skar> herb: thanks anyways, would do for me for dev, production probably doesn't need pts anyway
[07:35] <jeff008> hello every body, i would like to knwo how to  part my disk (250 Go) with cfisk /boot primary 500 Mo - swap 2 Go and the rest lvm2.I've live cd, i've installed wifi drivers... and i 've installed lvm2 and modprobe dm-mod.I've no problem to kill all holds parts with cfdisk , i can part /boot in primary, swap no problem , but i don't know how to do whit the rest ... an u help me? thank a lot ;)
[07:35] <exodus_ms> NarbeH, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=872153
[07:35] <Brack101> r2-d2 no you just have to enable it since it's already installed.  The way I know to do it is by using the menus System > Appearance > Desktop effects.  I'm sure there's a command line equivalent
[07:35] <herb> skar: good luck.  hope it works for you.
[07:35] <Brack101> you do need to install compiz-config however if you want to change anything
[07:35] <NarbeH> exodus_ms: and it will work? :O
[07:36] <almark1> maco: well, I can see I have a lot of reading to do, thanks for your help and onetinsoldier's
[07:36] <r2-d2> Brack101: okay, thank you for the explanation.
[07:36] <onetinsoldier> almark1: you're welcome, good luck
[07:36] <skar> herb: yup it better work, else the heavy virtual stuff are the remaining options, not light enough for me
[07:36] <Starnestommy> NarbeH: you will have to test it to see if that works
[07:36] <Brack101> hope that helps, r2, I'm a n00b to linux
[07:36] <Brack101> but I'm never going back to MS
[07:37] <Brack101> except at work because I have to

[07:38]  * malakhi wishes moonlight would catch up with silverlight so he could watch his netflix in linux
[07:38] <r2-d2> hehe
[07:38] <Brack101> as soon as netflix and adobe work on Linux, I'm getting rid of my VM image
[07:38] <NarbeH> exodus_ms: thq
[07:38]  * Brack101 agrees with malakhi
[07:38] <Brack101> either that or MS could release a true cross platform plugin LOL
[07:39] <Brack101> not that that will ever happen
[07:39] <r2-d2> Brack101: my experience with Linux start today, without forget the time with openbsd
[07:40] <Hern> hjk
[07:40] <Brack101> r2-d2, I don't think you'll miss it much
[07:40] <Brack101> Ubuntu has the best user base
[07:41] <r2-d2> hehe
[07:41] <Brack101> search for "Ubuntu" and anything on google and you'll get hundreds of useful pages
[07:41] <r2-d2> I totally agree with you
[07:42] <shyam_k> Brack101: M$ is the best if you say the case of user base!:P
[07:42] <Ademan> ok why does the gdm guest session drop me into openbox instead of gnome? it's not set as the default DE
[07:42] <Brack101> shyam_k I mean when it comes to linux distros
[07:43] <OxDeadC0de> is it normal during the update to 4.2 for it to remove kde?
[07:43] <Brack101> I remember when I was trying to figure out how to use an old version of RedHat way back in the day... You'd come on IRC and ask a question and after a half hour or so people would say "OMG YOU ARE SUCH A NOOB!!LOL LAMER RTFM!!"
[07:43] <Brack101> people are much more helpful in here
[07:43] <OxDeadC0de> oops wrong chan
[07:43] <shyam_k> Brack101: ok did you try tsocks then?
[07:43] <shyam_k> lol:)

[07:45] <Robbie_Crash> I just had a train drive over my console session when I mistyped ls
[07:45] <shyam_k> Brack101: am under a college proxy and for one week i am just trying to get my email with some mail client.. even after fixing the proxy settings for thunderbird, it still says it cant reach my mail server.

[07:45] <ongkuanyang> fuck
[07:45] <ongkuanyang> sry
[07:45] <Brack101> shyam_K oh sorry no idea
[07:45] <Starnestommy> NarbeH: are you using irc from a different computer?
[07:45] <r2-d2> Brack101: Because of that I think what is better, be quiet or make the people think that we're stupid just because about one question
[07:46] <NarbeH> Starnestommy: yes
[07:46] <shyam_k> can't even get a single gmail account to work..
[07:46] <Asterisky> I can't bring up PHPMyAdmin under Ubuntu 8.04 and was refered here. Any ideas why I get an 404 error? Please
[07:47] <Brack101> r2-d2:  I think that attitude is pretty much extinct.  The people who used to use IRC came on to brag about how "leet" their setup was and couldn't be bothered by "noobs"
[07:47] <shyam_k> it says network not reachable..
[07:47] <Starnestommy> NarbeH: you might need to run "sudo update-grub" then reboot
[07:47] <herb> shyam_k: have you tried ssh -D to get out from behind the proxy? ssh is capable of setting up a socks-compatible proxy that can be used by thunderbird or firefox.  all you need is a machine to ssh to outside the college proxy.
[07:47] <r2-d2> hmm
[07:47] <NarbeH> ok

[07:59] <cwillu> shyam_k, ctrl+shift+j will give you something, install firebug (firefox web developer extension) if you need more
[07:59] <shyam_k> cwillu: like the problem is the browser can access net under proxy, and i want to run the shell command "offlineimap" and so now i am dreaming of having a console inside browser so that i can run that command under proxy
[08:00] <NarbeH> Starnestommy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92051/
[08:00] <shyam_k> cwillu: i want something like a shell
[08:00] <quizme_> is there anything like cPanel for Ubuntu?  (a script to configure Bind and Virtual Hosts)
[08:00] <shyam_k> :)
[08:00] <cwillu> shyam_k, you're not making sense, but I think I understand you anyway :p
[08:00] <cwillu> shyam_k, you'd need to find an equivilant imap command that supports an http proxy, or something else than can tunnel over http
[08:00] <shyam_k> cwillu: bash inside firefox!:)
[08:01] <cwillu> shyam_k, ... um, no
[08:01] <cwillu> shyam_k, won't do what you think it would do
[08:01] <jeff008> is there any one to help me for part my hardy server whith lvm2?
[08:01] <Starnestommy> quizme_: maybe ebox
[08:01] <cwillu> shyam_k, something like openvpn would work though (openvpn can connect over an http proxy, and then you'd just use your normal commands in a normal bash shell)
[08:01] <shyam_k> cwillu: i just tried configuring proxy for thunderbird.. and even that didnt work!( i have an ip: port as info regarding the proxy and a gateway address too.
[08:01] <Starnestommy> NarbeH: I don't know what to try next
[08:02] <herb>  shyam_k something like http://freshmeat.net/projects/mindterm/ ?
[08:02] <cwillu> shyam_k, the proxy may be intelligently blocking traffic that looks like non-browser'ish things
[08:02] <NarbeH> Starnestommy: so i have to install windows
[08:03] <fivetwentysix> whats the point of connecting over a proxy
[08:03] <shyam_k> herb: i think ssh is blocked for outside..
[08:03] <Starnestommy> NarbeH: not necessarily.  There might be another solution
[08:03] <cwillu> NarbeH, what's the problem?
[08:03] <NarbeH> cwillu:  :(
[08:03] <herb> shyam_k: that's unfortunate.
[08:03] <NarbeH> cwillu: touchpad. dell xps 1530
[08:03] <cwillu> NarbeH, a frown isn't a problem
[08:03] <almark1> maco: Hello again, can I get a rt kernel from kernel.org? I need one, because Ubuntu Studio uses them
[08:03] <NarbeH> cwillu: looks crazy
[08:04] <cwillu> NarbeH, presume that I haven't been watching what you've been saying, and further presume I'm very smart, but also very lazy
[08:04] <shyam_k> and etching me to the max, people have m$ outlook working under the network!!!:)
[08:05] <NarbeH> cwillu: i think i have to install windows :|
[08:05] <cwillu> NarbeH, I still don't have any idea what the problem you're having is
[08:05] <Starnestommy> cwillu: his touchpad's cursor is acting crazy
[08:05] <NarbeH> cwillu:  touchpad isn't working
[08:06] <cwillu> NarbeH, at all?
[08:06] <almark1> maco: you still here ?
[08:06] <Starnestommy> NarbeH: it might have something to do with sensitivity
[08:06] <shyam_k> NarbeH: did you just try configuring the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[08:06] <NarbeH> shyam_k: no
[08:06] <keith112123> hello, does ubuntu work with touch screens
[08:06] <NarbeH> Starnestommy: no i don't think so.
[08:06] <shyam_k> just adding the details about the synaptics(assuming that as your touchpad driver)
[08:07] <shyam_k> should do it..
[08:07] <Starnestommy> NarbeH: what does the cursor do when you try to move it?
[08:07] <cwillu> keith112123, many/most, although some have issues with being treated as a touchpad rather than a touchscreen (i.e., relative movement instead of absolute movement)
[08:07] <fivetwentysix> keith112123 like a tablet?
[08:07] <maco> almark1: sorry. the sources should be the same. its just the compile flags, i think
[08:07] <NarbeH> Starnestommy: i can't tell. some times it dont move
[08:07] <NarbeH> Starnestommy: and some times it do crazy things :-s
[08:08] <almark1> maco: do you mean everytime Ubuntu upgraded the kernel, It still retained the rt feature?
[08:08] <maco> almark1: i *think* the compiling is what makes it rt
[08:08] <almark1> maco: oh... that makes since
[08:10] <keith112123> yea, like a tablet
[08:11] <MHz128> Using ad-hoc mode, is it possible to connect 2 pc's directly with no router?
[08:11] <NarbeH> : (( : ((
[08:11] <Starnestommy> NarbeH: do you know what BIOS version the laptop is using?
[08:11] <NarbeH> Starnestommy: no. how should i know?
[08:11] <Starnestommy> NarbeH: it might be shown when you start up your laptop
[08:11] <n2diy> MHz128, yes, with a cross over cable
[08:11] <cwillu> NarbeH, do you have a pastebin of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
[08:12] <NarbeH> cwillu: wait
[08:12] <MHz128> n2diy, i meant with wireless cards
[08:13] <terryx> getting error while starting ubuntu...
[08:13] <NarbeH> cwillu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92061
[08:13] <Starnestommy> terryx: what error?
[08:13] <cwillu> MHz128, create an adhoc network on one machine, and connect to it from the other.  If they're both ubuntu'ish machines (have avahi/bonjour), you should then be able to connect directly using names like foo.local
[08:13] <n2diy> MHz128, I don't think so, unless you can put one in bridge mode.
[08:13] <terryx> could not mount /dev/disk...
[08:14] <cwillu> MHz128, installing openssh-server on one machine will allow you to browse sftp://foo.local/ from the other machine
[08:14] <terryx> run chkdsk/r from windows ...this should fix the error
[08:14] <terryx> its says that...
[08:14] <MHz128> cwillu, awesome!!! what is avahi/bonjour?
[08:14] <quizme_> Starnestommy: apt-get install ebox ?
[08:14] <Starnestommy> quizme_: don't forget to prefix that command with sudo
[08:15] <cwillu> MHz128, it's a zero-conf technology that apple and linux/debian/ubuntu have
[08:15] <cwillu> MHz128, so once the two machines are on the same network, they can connect, without having to configure ip addresses first
[08:15] <herb> MHz128: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroconf
[08:15] <cwillu> !avahi
[08:15] <cwillu> silly bot
[08:15] <MHz128> cwillu, oh! so I dont need to set static IPs... ?
[08:15] <cwillu> MHz128, exactly
[08:16] <cwillu> NarbeH, one sec
[08:16] <MHz128> cwillu, awsome thank you!
[08:16] <cwillu> NarbeH, what kind of laptop was that again
[08:16] <terryx> my file system has 350mb space left...how to increase that..??
[08:16] <NarbeH> cwillu: Dell XPS 1530
[08:17] <IchigoMorino> Whenever I send or receive a message in Pidgin it freezes. It would seem that it is chilly outside and the carrier pidgins are too frozen to deliver anything.
[08:18] <MHz128> hahah
[08:18] <allsystemsarego> Hi, I have sound quality issues with my sound card - on the recording/microphone side - how do I go about fixing them? The output from "lspci -nn | grep Audio" is "00:14.2 Audio device [0403]: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia [1002:4383]" The noise to signal ratio is 5 to 1, I get a lot of static, and my voice is only heard very faintly in the background. Someone suggested that if I have I/O and dma options (or not), to go google for what they
[08:18] <allsystemsarego>  are for my sound card, but Google didn't turn up anything relevant, or maybe I didn't put in the right keywords. Any ideas?
[08:18] <oobe> use amsn
[08:18] <terryx> my file system has 350mb space left...how to increase that..??
[08:18] <Grasputin> or pidgin
[08:18] <cwillu> NarbeH, can you pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[08:18] <systm> im having an use where firefox 3 is going full screen and covering everything on the screen, whenever it is started
[08:19] <NarbeH> cwillu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92051/
[08:19] <IchigoMorino> oobe: You shouldn't try to convert people, you should try to help them with their problems. I believe aMSN only supports MSN's protocol, right? Then it wouldn't work for me.
[08:19] <Grasputin> IchigoMorino: did you install any plugins and/or have you updated your system recently
[08:19] <MHz128> cwillu, do I use the "Link-Local" setting when creating the adhoc network?
[08:19] <Grasputin> IchigoMorino: Kopete
[08:20] <oobe> IchigoMorino, yeah good point
[08:20] <IchigoMorino> Grasputin: I just installed Ubuntu in a VM, it has worked on all other operating systems I have used it on. And stop trying to convert me please.
[08:20] <oobe> Grasputin,  You shouldn't try to convert people, you should try to help them with their problems.
[08:20] <j3nal> hi there..i having problem with initramfs..i'm not installing wubi..It happen after hang..then i off pc..after that..it show busybox..how to solve?
[08:20] <cwillu> NarbeH, line 128 is wrong, it should be ...i8042.nomux=1, not 18042.nomux=1
[08:21] <cwillu> NarbeH, fix that, rerun sudo update-grub, and reboot
[08:21] <Grasputin> IchigoMorino: I do tech support for a living man.... most people just want the simplest answer....
[08:22] <Grasputin> So have you done any updates, checked syslog, etc?
[08:22] <Grasputin> Made any changes to your firewall?
[08:22] <IchigoMorino> Grasputin: If someone is asking how to fix a bruise on a pear; telling them to eat a banana instead isn't going to solve their problem.
[08:22] <NarbeH> cwillu: ok let me reset ir
[08:23] <cwillu> NarbeH, you fixed the line and reran update-grub, first though, right?
[08:23] <NarbeH> Starnestommy: Bios Revision A12
[08:23] <cwillu> (in that order)
[08:23] <NarbeH> cwillu: yes
[08:23] <cwillu> k
[08:23] <Grasputin> IchigoMorino: It does if they are really hungry
[08:23] <oobe> IchigoMorino, he gets ur point
[08:23] <R0b0t1> What is the name of the program that views pictures?
[08:23] <NarbeH> cwillu: :*:*:*:**:
[08:23] <NarbeH> cwillu: :*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*
[08:23] <NarbeH> cwillu: it works :O:O
[08:23] <ikonia> NarbeH: please stop that
[08:23] <NarbeH> cwillu: oh my god
[08:23] <cwillu> NarbeH, I win :)
[08:24]  * cwillu always wins :p
[08:24] <oobe> R0b0t1, i like feh
[08:24] <NarbeH> cwillu: Starnestommy: thqqqqqqqqqqq
[08:24] <NarbeH> cwillu: Starnestommy: thq a lot all of youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
[08:24] <NarbeH> :X
[08:24] <ikonia> NarbeH: PLEASE stop
[08:24] <Grasputin> I've thrown out some questions... give us some background on what's changes since the last time it worked and when it started acting up.... what steps have you taken so far to resolve the issue
[08:24] <R0b0t1> Ty
[08:24] <IchigoMorino> Grasputin: The only plugin I have enabled is Nautilus Integration, which was enabled by default so I didn't touch it. I did mess with the settings, but not too much.
[08:24] <NarbeH> cwillu: Starnestommy: thq a lot and byeeeeeeeeee :) have fun
[08:24] <ikonia> NarbeH: `try to keep your lines simple without all the nooise
[08:24]  * cwillu huggles NarbeH and sends him on his way
[08:25] <cwillu> MHz128, I think so, although I don't know for sure
[08:25] <Grasputin> IchigoMorino: Are you using multiple accounts currently? Sounds like ya are.
[08:25] <Emmanuel> Àôèãåòü
[08:26] <ikonia> Emmanuel: english only please
[08:26] <IchigoMorino> Grasputin: I have AOL, WL, Google, and Yahoo! accounts.
[08:26] <mysticalzero> anyone use herrie here? Had no idea why "Sample rate or amount of channels not supported." was displayed when attempting to playback audio. Hmm.... *thinking hard*
[08:26] <Grasputin> IchigoMorino: Ya might want to try disabling all accounts, signing into each one and if possible chat someone on each service up, to see what the response is like. Maybe one of the services is lagging and it's causing the whole program to slow down
[08:27] <Grasputin> I use AOL, MSN and Yahoo accounts in Pidgin personally as well
[08:30] <IchigoMorino> Grasputin: I just tried that. It happens with all four services. Whenever I send or receive a message the whole program freezes.
[08:30] <terryx> how do i copy or cut something to /host folder?
[08:30] <Grasputin> terryx: Where are you talking about exactly?
[08:31] <terryx> from ubuntu desktop to filesystem/host
[08:31] <terryx> its says permission denied
[08:32] <Grasputin> IchigoMorino: Might try opening up Terminal and running pidgin from there.... send some messages and see if anything catches your eye there
[08:32] <cwillu> terryx, what's filesystem/host?
[08:32] <ikonia> terryx: there is no /host file system on ubuntu
[08:32] <paul68> hi what is the syntax to chmod a complete dir with subdirs and files?
[08:32] <ikonia> terryx: who made /host ?
[08:32] <terryx> in the middle of download/installing vlc my ubuntu comes blank screen, says reloading demon(2 times) and logout automatic...what this?
[08:32] <Grasputin> You don't happen to be using proxy servers or anything right?
[08:32] <ikonia> terryx: deal with one question at a time please
[08:32] <IchigoMorino> Grasputin: Does Pidgin print anything in the terminal?
[08:32] <rww> cwillu, Grasputin, ikonia: terryx is using Wubi. In Wubi, the Windows partition that the Wubi files are on is mounted to /host/
[08:32] <terryx> ok...when you goto file system in my computer there is a folder called host
[08:33] <cwillu> rww, ah, thanks
[08:33] <Grasputin> IchigoMorino: Lemme check a few things real quick like
[08:33] <ikonia> terryx: where is that file system
[08:33] <terryx> yes......rww is 100% correct...
[08:33] <rww> paul68: chmod -R
[08:33] <ikonia> rww: ahhhh thank you
[08:33]  * cwillu hasn't had a windows machine recently enough to have noticed wubi beyond the most obvious info about it
[08:33] <ikonia> !away > Hangwire
[08:33] <paul68> rww: thanks
[08:34] <terryx> rww: there is a folder called host, i want to copy my some files to host
[08:34] <IchigoMorino> Grasputin: All it returns is "killed" when I force it to quit.
[08:34] <terryx> its says permission denied....
[08:34] <ikonia> terryx: it will do
[08:34] <deftone77> can't get compiz going with my nvidia 9800gt
[08:34] <phpmonk> Microsoft officially have 'beta' answers now!! lol
[08:34] <terryx> no
[08:34] <ikonia> terryx: it is ntfs and needs to be mounted read/write
[08:35] <Grasputin> IchigoMorino: you want to try `pidgin --debug` and prepare to see a screenfull
[08:35] <terryx> how
[08:35] <ikonia> phpmonk: we don't care/need to see it
[08:35] <ikonia> terryx: within wubi - no idea
[08:35] <phpmonk> ikonia, beta answers is big joke
[08:35] <terryx> ok...
[08:35] <ikonia> phpmonk: I just said we don't care/need to hear about it
[08:35] <ikonia> phpmonk: it is not on topic to this channel
[08:35] <rww> terryx: I haven't used Wubi recently, either, so I'm not sure how to help. Are the files you're copying from readable by you? Are you able to create new files in the directory you're copying to? (issue "touch /host/path/to/directory/test" to check)
[08:36] <phpmonk> ikonia, iggy msg lol
[08:36] <paul68> rww: before I use the chmod can I execute this without a problem on the /var directory or do I have to be carefull with this
[08:36] <ikonia> phpmonk: iggy msg ? what are you talking about
[08:36] <cwillu> paul68, you probably don't want to do that
[08:36] <_moro_bana_> how do i check whether ubuntu detected my wireless card?
[08:36] <phpmonk> ikonia, do not be idiot, there are lots of other readers in room than you, piss off
[08:37] <terryx> forget that...what about this my ubuntu screen goes blank and says reloading demons (2 times) and logout(ask for user and password)???????
[08:37] <cwillu> paul68, good way to leave yourself open to all sorts of potential security issues, etc
[08:37] <IchigoMorino> Grasputin: "gstreamer: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument"
[08:37] <rww> paul68: No idea. Generally, though, messing with permissions in system directories is a bad idea.
[08:37] <_moro_bana_> how do i check whether ubuntu detected my wireless card or not?
[08:37] <Starnestommy> phpmonk: it's off-topic for this channel
[08:37] <cwillu> paul68, back up a couple steps, what are you trying to do?
[08:37] <IchigoMorino> Grasputin: What does Pidgin use Gstreamer for?
[08:37] <terryx> last time blank screen comes when i was downloading/installing vlc
[08:37] <rww> IchigoMorino: playing sounds for new messages, etc.
[08:38] <paul68> cwillu: ok problem is this I have a website and I want to download all its content with ftp towards the /var/www directory however it is giving me errors since the root is owner
[08:38] <ikonia> co_savirus__: why 3 nicks ?
[08:38] <terryx> forget that...what about this my ubuntu screen goes blank and says reloading demons (2 times) and logout(ask for user and password)???????
[08:38] <deftone77> can anyone help me configure my video correctly for an XFX 750A Sli motherboard and XFX 9800GT??
[08:38] <Grasputin> IchigoMorino: No idea man
[08:38] <paul68> cwillu: I was thinking that this might be because I don't have enough rights to access the www folder
[08:38] <cwillu> paul68, change the group (not the user (chmod -R :yourusername instead of chmod -R username)), and set it on just the subfolder you want
[08:38] <IchigoMorino> Grasputin: Well it makes sense, Ubuntu isn't picking up my VMs virtual soundcard.
[08:39] <terryx> my ubuntu screen goes blank and says reloading demons (2 times) and logout(ask for user and password)..why???????
[08:39] <saranya> any one know how to search a file is exist in the system or not through terminal
[08:39] <saranya> any one know the command for that
[08:39] <Starnestommy> saranya: locate filename
[08:40] <cwillu> saranya, locate <piece of name> (database is updated nightly, or by running sudo updatedb)
[08:40] <paul68> cwillu: since I am not even able to create any directories in the www folder
[08:40] <cwillu> paul68, so, sudo mkdir /var/www/folder
[08:40] <cwillu> and then set the permissions on it
[08:40] <terryx> my ubuntu screen goes blank and says reloading demons (2 times) and logout(ask for user and password)..why???????
[08:40] <yumark> hello
[08:40] <dev_> Hi
[08:40] <Grasputin> IchigoMorino: If it's spitting out a *LOT* of messages about sound related stuff, then I would recommend addressing the sound card to actually resolve the issue
[08:40] <paul68> cwillu: ok will do
[08:41] <cwillu> terryx, you know pastebin?
[08:41] <Grasputin> Seems Gstreamer's for webcams and stuff
[08:41] <cwillu> !pastebin | terryx
[08:41] <cwillu> terryx, pastebin the contents of ~/.xsession-errors
[08:41] <rww> IchigoMorino: or you could turn off sounds in Pidgin. There's an option for it in Preferences.
[08:41] <saranya> any one know how to find a file is exist in the system or not and where through terminal
[08:41] <cwillu> saranya, locate <piece of name> (database is updated nightly, or by running sudo updatedb)
[08:42] <cwillu> saranya, pay attention, it's not nice to ask a question, miss the answer somebody typed in 3 seconds later, and then re-ask the question 2 minutes later :(
[08:42] <Grasputin> IchigoMorino: rww's got a point as well
[08:42] <rww> Grasputin: ah. Seems IchigoMorino left. I wondered why my tab completion stopped working :(
[08:43] <terryx> my ubuntu screen goes blank and says reloading demons (2 times) and logout(ask for user and password)..why???????
[08:43] <terryx> done that...
[08:43] <saranya> cwilu thank u for ur answer and ur advice
[08:43] <kelvin911> hi i have a desktop and a laptop, and some external usb hdd connected to a desktop, how does my laptop see the hard disk of my desktop?
[08:43] <cwillu> terryx, done what?
[08:43] <terryx> my post on paste.ubuntu.com
[08:44] <cwillu> terryx, you need to give us the address to the paste
[08:44] <Asterisky> Hi, How do I add a user to a database in PHPMyAdmin?
[08:44] <Asterisky> Please
[08:44] <terryx> ok
[08:44] <Asterisky> Hi, How do I add a user to a database in PHPMyAdmin?
[08:44] <terryx> http://paste.ubuntu.com/92070/
[08:44] <WebcamWonder> Guys, if I break the dependencies by installing a package which depends on a slightly newer version of one of the packages, will all hell break loose?
[08:44] <terryx> whats this for?
[08:44] <saranya> it is necessary give the file name with extension ah?
[08:44] <ikonia> WebcamWonder: yes
[08:44] <cwillu> kelvin911, install openssh-server on the desktop, and then connect to it from the laptop from nautilus at sftp://<laptop's name>.local/
[08:44] <cwillu> WebcamWonder, that's a succinct way of putting it, yes
[08:45] <cwillu> WebcamWonder, what package, and what version of ubuntu?
[08:45] <iamelite> hello, Does anyone know how i share my internet connection into my eth0?
[08:45] <mac1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/92071/
[08:46] <cwillu> terryx, one sec
[08:46] <WebcamWonder> cwillu: On hardy 64. Package depends on perl >=5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3. I currently have perl 5.8.8-12 installed
[08:46] <cwillu> WebcamWonder, where is the package from?
[08:46] <WebcamWonder> cwillu: pidgin 2.5.3
[08:46] <ikonia> iamelite: iptables, or a proxy package like squid
[08:46] <WebcamWonder> cwillu: A dependency for it
[08:47] <cwillu> WebcamWonder, check if the -backports repo has it
[08:47] <cwillu> terryx, pastebin the contents of ~/.xsession-errors
[08:47] <cwillu> terryx, you just gave me a line of text out of irc
[08:47] <WebcamWonder> cwillu: Ok... I have never dealth with the backports before... want to give me a headstart?
[08:47] <terryx> no errors
[08:47] <WebcamWonder> !backport
[08:47] <cwillu> WebcamWonder, admin | software sources, hit the backports checkbox :p
[08:47] <terryx> just my screen goes blank and logout
[08:47] <terryx> thats it...
[08:47] <cwillu> WebcamWonder, then go into synaptic, and see if pidgin has an upgrade
[08:48] <cwillu> terryx, ___pastebin the contents of ~/.xsession-errors___
[08:48] <onetinsoldier> iamelite: i'm not familiar with doing connection sharing, but it's done with iptables as ikonia said. there is an app that might help make it somewhat easy called 'firestarter'
[08:48] <cwillu> terryx, open that file, and pastebin the contents
[08:48] <rww> WebcamWonder, cwillu: pidgin isn't in intrepid-backports
[08:48] <WebcamWonder> cwillu: Well, I am getting pidgin from getdeb, so it is partially my responsibility
[08:48] <terryx> what file
[08:48] <cwillu> rww, k
[08:48] <terryx> which is in log?
[08:48] <cwillu> terryx, ~ is shorthand for your home directory
[08:49] <iamelite> i have  ried firestarter but i keep getting the error "eth0 is not ready"
[08:49] <cwillu> terryx, if you open gedit, and go to open, and copy that line in (~/.xsession-errors), it'll open
[08:49] <terryx> i don't understand...plz tell me step by step...
[08:49] <cwillu> terryx, open gedit
[08:49] <terryx> from?
[08:49] <cwillu> (apps | accessories | text editor)
[08:49] <terryx> terminal?
[08:50] <mac1> Hello
[08:50] <br4d_id> plz need help with compiling empathy 2-25. M4 macros not found
[08:51] <jim_p> does anybody know an app similar to testdisk?  http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/testdisk
[08:51] <WebcamWonder> Found it... It addressed a critical vulnerability published on 2008-12-24 and was proceeded to be patched with  5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3
[08:51] <WebcamWonder> That would mean it is sitting in the recommended updates
[08:51] <Ademan> is there any way to see what things there are to configure with update-alternatives ?
[08:52] <Starnestommy> br4d_id: do you have autoconf and automake installed?
[08:52] <mac1> I need some help with a fresh ubuntu installation on a nox a14 laptop not handling screen brightness properly, it's impossible to adjust. (Might also have an issue with fan, it does not throttle, just switches on or off).
[08:52] <br4d_id> Starnestommy: testing autoconf... found 2.61
[08:53] <terryx> i don't understand...plz tell me step by step...
[08:53] <cwillu> (apps | accessories | text editor)
[08:53] <IchigoMorino> Grasputin: I changed the soundcard for the VM and Pidgin works now, along with my sound to. =3
[08:54] <br4d_id> Starnestommy: it misses  libtool.m4,  glib-gettext.m4, intltool.m4, pkg.m4
[08:54] <cwillu> terryx, (apps | accessories | text editor)
[08:54] <terryx> just my screen goes blank and logout
[08:55] <terryx> done
[08:55] <terryx> now?
[08:55] <cwillu> terryx, and go to open, and copy that line in (~/.xsession-errors), it'll open
[08:55] <terryx> which line?
[08:55]  * cwillu wonders how much troubleshooting he can get done by repeating lines he's already said
[08:55] <cwillu> terryx, ~/.xsession-errors
[08:55] <bazhang> terryx, the line he keeps repeating
[08:56] <cwillu> ...over, and over, and over :p
[08:56] <terryx> but where?...in which folder?
[08:56] <Starnestommy> br4d_id: try installing libtool, libglib2.0-dev, intltool, and pkg-config
[08:56] <Starnestommy> terryx: the ~ is the folder
[08:56] <cwillu> terryx, doesn't matter, just type in exactly what I said
[08:56] <terryx> ok
[08:57]  * cwillu starts considering a career in drawing-water-from-stones
[08:57] <dnyy> How do I find out if my second HD is sda1, sda2 or sdb1?
[08:57] <br4d_id> Starnestommy: libtool is already the newest version
[08:57] <Grasputin> pft, always..... I think forums.xbox.com is punking me for using ubuntu and firefox....
[08:57] <cwillu> dnyy, probably sdb
[08:57] <joot> * will take a gallon
[08:57] <dnyy> sda2 swap?
[08:57] <cwillu> dnyy, (sd<drive><#partition>
[08:57] <dnyy> aah, gotcha
[08:57] <terryx> ok opened...now?
[08:58] <cwillu> terryx, copy... and paste... into a pastebin...
[08:58] <jim_p> does anybody know an app similar to testdisk?  http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/testdisk
[08:58] <terryx> the whole written text...right?
[08:58] <bazhang> paste.ubuntu.com terryx NOT here
[08:58] <dnyy> Do I need to unmount it before using Storage Device Manager?  I'm trying to make it automount on boot.
[08:58] <goostav> hej mam pytanie
[08:58] <br4d_id> Starnestommy: and so the other three packages are already installed
[08:58] <cwillu> bazhang, I think we're safe there: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92070/
[08:58] <terryx> not herre i know
[08:58] <Starnestommy> br4d_id: try running aclocal then try compiling again

[08:59] <cwillu> thanks
[08:59] <terryx> now see plz..
[08:59] <doggzz> bunty broke broke
[09:00] <hero> thank
[09:00] <bazhang> doggzz, need a better error report than that
[09:00] <br4d_id> Starnestommy: configure.ac:61: warning: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library.
[09:01] <doggzz> bunty worked then broked after distributed-updating effect with aptitude gets-me-a-program
[09:01] <terryx> found something...i have installed ubuntu today..and i have no drivers
[09:01] <terryx> even nvidia..
[09:01] <doggzz> help with broked bunty?
[09:01] <bazhang> doggzz, what is the exact error message you got
[09:02] <cwillu> terryx, nothing jumping out at me from that, can you pastebin /var/log/messages?
[09:02] <bazhang> doggzz, paste.ubuntu.com with the exact error message
[09:02] <rww> hmm. I vaguely remember a troll that wandered into #ubuntu a while ago. They called Ubuntu "bunty" too.
[09:02] <systm> how would i add something to $PATH
[09:03] <cwillu> systm, /etc/environment (global), or by doing a set in your ~/.bashrc
[09:03] <cwillu> systm, be _very_ careful what you add to your path though
[09:03] <doggzz> bazhang bunty error messages --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/92080/
[09:03] <cwillu> i.e., your homedir would be a bad idea, as would ./
[09:04] <systm> cwillu: if i wanted to add my adb for android where should i put that then?
[09:04] <Starnestommy> br4d_id: I'm not sure how to fix that
[09:04] <iamelite> ok i tried using iptables to share my internet connection but it says i must log into a root terminal, which.... its not letting me do. or so says the only tutorial i could find
[09:04] <bazhang> doggzz, what were you doing when you got the error; please be very specific
[09:04] <cwillu> systm, not sure what that is, but /usr/local/bin is the usual place for customization outside of apt
[09:05] <doggzz> bazhang i did a bunty-apt-get-dist-upgrade-edgy-elephant and got that bunty error :(
[09:05] <br4d_id> Starnestommy: thanks, it was already a help. Now I will try to google with the error messages
[09:05] <iamelite> what is this set of ipv4 settings in my networking
[09:05] <bazhang> doggzz, there is no such thing.
[09:05] <iamelite> i see one that says "shared to other computer"
[09:05] <doggzz> bazhang i did get an error --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/92080/
[09:05] <doggzz> error tells all
[09:05] <joot> bahzang: you might be being had I think
[09:05] <bazhang> doggzz, there is no edgy elephant. please take chat elsewhere
[09:05] <cwillu> doggzz, the entire error, including lines leading up to it, and the exact commands you ran
[09:06] <virtualhemant> hi FloodBot1
[09:06] <doggzz> cwillu i post on --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/92080/
[09:06] <cwillu> doggzz, there's only one line there
[09:06] <bazhang> doggzz, the commands are not there
[09:06] <doggzz> bazhang you no help?
[09:06] <cwillu> doggzz, the entire error, including lines leading up to it, and the exact commands you ran
[09:06] <rww> doggzz: Funny, that error is from a Windows prograsm
[09:06] <virtualhemant> anbody tried 8.10 yet?
[09:06] <doggzz> it's a goddamn vs compiler message
[09:06] <doggzz> idiots
[09:06] <bazhang> doggzz, paste.ubuntu.com with your sources.list please
[09:06] <nibbler> virtualhemant: what do you think?
[09:06] <cwillu> virtualhemant, way back in october :p
[09:06] <iamelite> So i am loking at my wireless connection, i right click it at the top of my screeen all the little bars. then i select "edit my connection" and choose my wired connection. under the edit i find ipv4 settings and it saying "shared to other comptuers" can i use this? how does it work?
[09:07] <virtualhemant> cwillu, ha ha
[09:07] <virtualhemant> cwillu, how is it?
[09:07] <Arodon> I'm having a weird issue trying to update: apt-get always fails out claiming it can't resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com' yet pinging it works fine...what could be going on?
[09:07] <bazhang> virtualhemant, do you have a support question?
[09:07] <cwillu> virtualhemant, fine? :p
[09:07] <terryx> http://paste.ubuntu.com/92083/
[09:07] <cwillu> terryx, thanks
[09:07] <virtualhemant> bazhang, no
[09:08] <terryx> i come in 30min.
[09:08] <bazhang> virtualhemant, then please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[09:08] <rww> virtualhemant: you may find #ubuntu-offtopic more to your liking, then :)
[09:08] <iamelite> i hve a support question
[09:08] <iamelite> no one seems to know the answer
[09:08] <virtualhemant> bazhang, my apologies
[09:08] <bazhang> iamelite, you want to share the connection with other computers
[09:08] <iamelite> yes
[09:09] <bazhang> iamelite, /msg ubottu ics for info
[09:09] <jim_p> does anybody know an app similar to testdisk?  http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/testdisk
[09:09] <joot> ! ./configure
[09:09] <jim_p> and...
[09:09] <ardchoille> Is there an app that helps manage a daily diary/journal?
[09:10] <jim_p> merry xmas people for tomorrow in case i wont see you
[09:10] <joot> ! make
[09:10] <iamelite> bazhang ty for sharing this with me. i will again try firestarter and get the same error and come back
[09:10] <jim_p> ardchoille, evolution can do it
[09:10] <ackbahr> Hi! I tried installing and uninstalling and reinstalling all packages with the word "flash" in it, but video streams still won't work.... How do I make this work?
[09:10] <Solarbaby> I am so fricken frustated I think I just came here to tell everyone just that
[09:10] <iamelite> failed to start firewall
[09:11] <ardchoille> jim_p: hmm.. I'm not quite happy with the way evolution does things :(
[09:11] <iamelite> device "eth0" is not ready, please check your connection and try again." message from firestarter firewall initiation
[09:11] <ackbahr> jim_p: merry Xmas to you too!
[09:11] <Solarbaby> I've spent nearly 48 hours now trying to geti dual monitors working with Xinerama and its been such a nightmare
[09:11] <jim_p> ardchoille, seamonkey if it exists then?
[09:11] <ubuntu-org> yeah, i've got a disk ubuntu, and it's free, how cool ^_^
[09:11] <jim_p> ackbahr, :)
[09:12] <jim_p> ardchoille, btw, cant thunderbird do it?
[09:12] <Solarbaby> if an OS is this hard for dual monitors, and it masters so many other things..  I dunno.. its a horrible experience
[09:12] <cwillu> Solarbaby, what video card?
[09:12] <jim_p> ardchoille, and there is also google calendar (dunno if its the same)
[09:12] <cwillu> Solarbaby, it's generally not hard, but there's alot of really out of date guides out there
[09:13] <ardchoille> jim_p: not sure, but I'd like to stay with gnome/gtk apps if possible, and seamonkey is quite large just for a simple diary
[09:13] <Solarbaby> Hello cwillu..  Internal video on a Compaq Evo D510 which is a Intel based chipset... and a Voodoo Banshee 16 meg version
[09:13] <cwillu> Solarbaby, across two seperate cards isn't going to work unless they're almost identical cards :(
[09:13] <ardchoille> Solarbaby: this channel works best for support questions, complaining about something is not beneficial
[09:14] <Solarbaby> ardchoille: I had to vent.. nobody else I know would even understand what I've been going through
[09:14] <cwillu> Solarbaby, in theory it's possible, but acceleration is nearly impossible (windows falls back to running both cards under vesa, which might work here, haven't tried it)
[09:14] <jim_p> ardchoille, let me look at apt cache then
[09:14] <jim_p> cwillu, what cand are you on?
[09:14] <cwillu> Solarbaby, from a single dual-head card, it's pretty easy though
[09:14] <jim_p> *card
[09:14] <jim_p> oooops
[09:14] <cwillu> cwillu, radeon's, nvidia's, intel's, I have dual-heads on them all :p
[09:14] <jim_p> i meann Solarbaby, sorry
[09:14] <ardchoille> jim_p: gjots2 looks like it will work, dual pane text editor for groups in a single file
[09:15] <Solarbaby> cwillu: I dont care if they do nice graphics or not.. as long as simple software works
[09:15] <cwillu> Solarbaby, are you trying to dual head across two different cards, one of which is intel, and the other is a voodoo?
[09:15] <Solarbaby> cwillu: yes
[09:16] <Solarbaby> cwillu: 3d stuff isn't a big issue..  its just a internet computer
[09:16] <cwillu> if so, can I suggest that your life would be tremendously easier if you just bought the cheapest nvidia on the market, and used the dualhead on that instead?
[09:17] <Solarbaby> cwillu: I would certainly consider it...  if its an agp card it has to be very tiny ment for small form factors.. if its ISA then it can be a little larger..  (space issues on this)
[09:17] <cwillu> Solarbaby, if you insist, I do have a passing interest in being able to do what you want, if you give me an email address I could post you in a week or so (when I have some time)
[09:17] <joot> When I issue this command it come back as invalid   john@scratchy:~$ autoconf freedroidRPG, 0.11.1 any suggestion please
[09:17] <cwillu> Solarbaby, you can get agp's in that form factor
[09:17] <Fedex1993> So i was downloading some files and idling in irc my nvidia drivers crash is there a way i can fix this?
[09:17] <bazhang> joot, what are you trying to accomplish
[09:18] <joot> Bazhang trying to install freedroid from developers
[09:19] <bazhang> joot, from a tarball? a deb package?
[09:19] <joot> Bazhang; from a tar I extarted to desktop
[09:19] <joot> extracted
[09:20] <rww> joot: Umm. You shouldn't need to use autoconf to do that. Use the instructions on the developers' download page: http://freedroid.sourceforge.net/download.php
[09:20] <bazhang> joot, do you a readme file in there?
[09:20] <rww> joot: unless they're in the INSTALL file, now that I look...
[09:20] <joot> Bazhang; Yes but ./configure give no file or directory
[09:21] <joot> Bazhang; rww: it has a conf ac in the package
[09:22] <rww> joot: is there an autogen.sh file? If so, try running that. The SVN version of that game has one and needs you to run it, then ./configure; not sure about the stable version
[09:23] <joot> rww: I will go look one mo
[09:23] <jim_p> does anybody know an app similar to testdisk?  http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/testdisk
[09:23] <cwillu> !info testdisk
[09:24] <systm> which is closer to ibex, gusty*hardy or dapper?
[09:24] <cwillu> Nope, sorry.
[09:24]  * cwillu keeps good backups :/
[09:24] <cwillu> hardy
[09:24] <cwillu> dapper is 6.06, hardy is 8.04, intrepid is 8.10
[09:24] <cwillu> you can upgrade dapper directly to hardy though
[09:25] <joot> rww: No autogen just a configure ac file
[09:27] <cwillu> If I've ignored anyone recently, sorry, you're out of luck for me today, I'm going to bed now :p
[09:27] <rww> joot: Hmm. Maybe try running "aclocal -I m4 && autoheader && automake --add-missing && autoconf". That seems to be the autoconf line they use in https://freedroid.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/freedroid/autogen.sh
[09:27] <jim_p> thanks cwillu but i look for sth similar
[09:27] <jim_p> !info linux-image
[09:28] <onetinsoldier> rww: wow, that looks like a pretty hefty command there
[09:28] <joot> rww: Thanks I will try that :-)
[09:28] <jim_p> !info emesene
[09:28] <rww> onetinsoldier: Yeah, I didn't make it. Not even sure what bits of it do =/
[09:29] <iamelite> should have paid attention in networkiing Adress: 192.168.1.1 mask 255.255.0.0 gateway 192.168.11.1    sound right?
[09:29]  * rww is downloading the tarball joot has to try to figure out if there's an easier way
[09:29] <onetinsoldier> rww: ahh, i see. i have some like that saved in a file myself ;-)
[09:29] <iamelite> had to manually assign
[09:29] <cwillu> iamelite, gateway 192.168.1.1
[09:30] <cwillu> iamelite, mask is really just a number between 1 and 32 (255.255.255.0 is, for instance, just a really verbose way of saying '24' (255.255.255.0 sets the first 24 bits)
[09:30] <cua0> hey, i'm having some weird issues. my usb hdd and my ntfs drive don't want to mount. it's like they are lost or there is an error, but i see no error messages
[09:30] <joot> rww: Error: aclocal: `configure.ac' or `configure.in' is required
[09:31] <cwillu> iamelite, gateway and address need to be the identical for that many bits (so, 255.255.255.0 (or /24), they need to be 192.168.1.x)
[09:31] <iamelite> cwillu yeah i remember that, just dont remember what value for a local
[09:31] <cwillu> (or 192.168.10.x, or whatever, as long as its the same)
[09:31] <cwillu> iamelite, 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, or 172.16.somethingIcan'tRemember.x
[09:32] <rww> joot: umm. I just grabbed the FreedroidRPG 0.11.1 tar.gz and it has a configure file in it...
[09:32] <cwillu> iamelite, although both 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x are often split up into smaller subnets
[09:32] <iamelite> cwillu ty, i am set.
[09:32] <iamelite> and off to do some tests
[09:32] <oma-opa> hi im running evolution with googlemail and imap, I can send and receive emails, but on the left side there is on top the standard "on this computer" stuff and below that there is my email adress and subfolders like income and trash how can I make only one set of appear?
[09:32] <joot> rww: ICan you explain to me how to make it work I usually apt-get but this version is not available
[09:33] <cwillu> cua0, check /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/messages
[09:33] <rww> joot: Sure. I downloaded "freedroidrpg-0.11.1.tar.bz2" from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54521&package_id=58238 . Then, I'd assume you'd run ./configure, then make, then make install
[09:34] <Mageiriki-me-bas> hello
[09:34] <Mageiriki-me-bas> does anyone know how i will change the codepage on my Ubuntu8.10 to UTF-8?
[09:34] <cua0> cwillu: everything appears fine in those
[09:35] <joot> rww: That is the root problem when I cd then ./configure it comes back no such file or dir
[09:35] <rww> !locales | Mageiriki-me-bas
[09:35] <cua0> cwillu: it's recognizing the external hdd, shows in the gui, but when you click the icon in "places" menu it does nothing.
[09:35] <rww> joot: right. What happens when you issue "ls configure"? Do you get any output?
[09:35] <Mageiriki-me-bas> rww, thanks!
[09:35] <rww> joot: sorry, "ls -l configure"
[09:36] <joot> rww: I will try
[09:36] <cwillu> cua0, sorry, running off to bed, but try figuring out an equivilent mount command, might give you more feedback
[09:37] <cwillu> cua0, if you still run windows, might be as simple as rebooting into windows, running a chkdsk on it, and then doing a clean reboot into ubuntu
[09:37] <cua0> cwillu: seems my fstab is not showing properly i'm going to try a few other things. thanks for the help
[09:37] <cwillu> if that solves it, ubuntu can be told to force mount it (there's even a chkdsk utility for ntfs), but it's not really considered safe to do so
[09:37] <cwillu> (although I do, as I have booted windows on this machine in nearly two years)
[09:38] <Mageiriki-me-bas> ehm, may i make one more question
[09:38] <cwillu> s/have/haven't/
[09:38] <terryx> cwillu: i am here, any progress?
[09:38] <joot> rww: ls: cannot access configure: No such file or directory ....this is from desktop where  freedroid is
[09:38] <cua0> aye, i think i broke the system when i refused to reboot after kernel update installs.
[09:38] <Mageiriki-me-bas> Is there a script to install ubuntu ON a bootable usb-stick?
[09:38] <rww> joot: what about "pwd"?
[09:39] <onetinsoldier> Mageiriki-me-bas: yes... although i don't know if you can call it a script exactly
[09:39] <onetinsoldier> Mageiriki-me-bas: it's call unetbootin
[09:39] <onetinsoldier> !unetbootin
[09:39] <onetinsoldier> hmmm
[09:39] <joot> rww: john@scratchy:~/Desktop$ pwd
[09:39] <joot> /home/john/Desktop
[09:39] <joot> john@scratchy:~/Desktop$
[09:39] <cwillu> Mageiriki-me-bas, onetinsoldier, there are scripts, but there's also a simple menu item in one of the config menus to create a usb bootdevice
[09:40] <rww> joot: okay. Let's back up and I'll run through the basic steps...
[09:40] <joot> rww: cool
[09:41] <onetinsoldier> cwillu: that thing doesn't seem to work for a lot of people from what i've seen, didn't work for me either
[09:41] <onetinsoldier> Mageiriki-me-bas:
[09:41] <onetinsoldier> oops
[09:41] <onetinsoldier> Mageiriki-me-bas: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[09:41] <onetinsoldier> cwillu: but thanks! :-)
[09:41] <rww> joot: 1) download the .tar.gz file to your Desktop. 2) tar -zxf freedroidrpg-0.11.1.tar.bz2 3) cd freedroidrpg-0.11.1 4) ./configure 5) make 6) make install
[09:41] <rww> joot: now. where are you up to in that list?
[09:42] <joot> rww: 3
[09:42] <bullgard4> '~$ file /dev/tty0; /dev/tty0: character special (4/0)' What does '(4/0)' mean?
[09:42] <onetinsoldier> rww: you should consider having him use 'checkinstall'
[09:42] <joot> rww: then I went cd desktop so that was wrong I guess
[09:42] <cwillu> bullgard4, it's a device node, of a particular type (corresponding to a particular driver in the kernel)
[09:43] <Mageiriki-me-bas> cwillu...
[09:43] <rww> joot: Yeah, you need to be in the freedroidrpg directory for configure and make to work. Try doing that and see if it helps ;)
[09:43] <simplenewb> how do I connect to my home PC running tightvnc from within ubuntu? I'm on the same home wifi network at the moment.
[09:43]  * cwillu wasn't kidding about going to bed now :p
[09:44] <joot> rww: will do back soon...
[09:44] <Mageiriki-me-bas> cwillu, actually i need one linux installed ON a usb, not a usb to install linux on hard disk.
[09:44] <cwillu> Mageiriki-me-bas, look at the eeepc install guides, should largely work the same way
[09:45] <Mageiriki-me-bas> cwillu,:D
[09:45] <bullgard4> cwillu: Please explain the particularity. I cannot see an assignment to a number 0  and to a number 4 in your message.
[09:45] <joot> rww: Success many thanks sorry I am new to compile stuff
[09:45] <cwillu> bullgard4, look up major/minor numbers
[09:45] <rww> joot: awesome :). Glad I could help!
[09:46] <cwillu> bullgard4, and stop keeping me from my warm comfy bed :p
[09:46] <bullgard4> cwillu: A merry christmas to you!
[09:47] <Lou_> Every program that calls libc-2.8.90.so instantly dies. Example: Dec 24 17:36:01 lat-ws kernel: [65012.809555] gnome-commander[4719]: segfault at 71 ip b7037b1e sp bfb88d68 error 6 in libc-2.8.90.so[b6fc6000+158000]  Is anyone else having this problem?
[09:47] <joot> rww: me too Merry Christmas and good night to all of you>>>>
[09:47]  * cwillu throws a bowl of christmas pudding at bullgard4 
[09:47] <cua0> cwillu: see, you're still here!
[09:48] <onetinsoldier> anyone here, besides me, find the man page for the 'find' command a little unwieldy and wish that they could get started learning it via interactive examples? i have found a great tool/app that does this!
[09:48] <cua0> and i'm out now. thanks for the tip cwillu. it was /etc/fstab corrupted or restored to a previous version and the usb hdd had an unclean dismount from windows so i had to add the -force option in /etc/fstab anyways.
[09:48] <cua0> onetinsoldier: i can honestly say i've never once man'd find
[09:49] <onetinsoldier> cua0: oh man.. it's quite a page! if you ask me. the one for lsof looks pretty daunting too, but for some reason i don't have too much trouble understandin it
[09:51] <onetinsoldier> cua0: if you're interested...  http://www.kbrandt.com/2008/06/pygnomefind-gui-frontend-to-gnu-find.html
[09:51] <cua0> onetinsoldier: sure, thanks. always good to have a repository of links
[09:51] <onetinsoldier> yw
[09:52] <systm> how would i figure out whats preventing my G1 from being recognized by adb from the Android SDK Tools?
[09:52] <j3nal> why i got this when i mount my 2nd sata -> mount:unknown filesystems type 'ext4'?
[09:54] <Ceres> how do I find what the device name for my wireless network adaptor for my laptop without being connected to a network?
[09:55] <Ceres> I am using gutsy on a dell latitude c610 and setting up wpa
[09:56] <cua0> Ceres: usually with those you need to be connected to a hardline first and download the restricted drivers.
[09:56] <skringla> Ceres: why do you need the name of the wieless adapter for setting up wpa
[09:56] <Ceres> the drivers work fine
[09:56] <Ceres> I am just looking for the device name
[09:56] <cua0> oh, hah, i misunderstood
[09:56] <cua0> try lspci
[09:56] <Ceres> thanks
[09:56] <Starnestommy> j3nal: which version of ubuntu are you using?
[09:57] <Ceres> lspci doesn't give device names (like ath0 or something of that sort)
[09:57] <Ceres> (or eth0 eth1)
[09:57] <cua0> oh, then do ifconfig
[09:58] <Ceres> ifconfig doesn't give that info if it isn't connected to a network
[09:58] <Ceres> on the wireless
[09:58] <cua0> should be a -all attribute
[09:58] <Ceres> thanks
[09:59] <CornholioTR> how do you manually mount an external usb hdd?
[09:59] <CornholioTR> intrepid won't see it
[10:00] <sleepy_cat> can we have an os on the external hard disk
[10:00] <skringla> CornholioTR: did you try 'sudo fdisk -l'
[10:00] <onetinsoldier> CornholioTR: does it show up in fdisk -l ?
[10:01] <CornholioTR> yeah
[10:01] <Ceres> thank you cua0, that worked
[10:01] <cua0> Ceres: cool :)
[10:01] <onetinsoldier> CornholioTR: ok, then mount it with info from that
[10:01] <CornholioTR> ok
[10:01] <skringla> CornholioTR: yes, itdid show up on there then?
[10:01] <cua0> skringla: http://www.arsgeek.com/2006/09/25/ubuntu-tricks-how-to-mount-your-windows-partition-and-make-it-readwritable/
[10:02] <cua0> i just used that as reference to mount my usb hdd and windows partition.
[10:02] <cua0> er sorry skringla , i meant to link that to CornholioTR
[10:02] <cua0> CornholioTR: check the link i pasted ^^
[10:02] <skringla> cua0: I thought I had said something really wrong
[10:03] <cua0> not at all
[10:04] <cua0> CornholioTR: it's probably not mounting because it was not unmounted from windows properly. so you'll have to -force it
[10:04] <CornholioTR> i last used it with linux
[10:04] <CornholioTR> it's ntfs though
[10:04] <cua0> try it that way anyways.
[10:05] <kevin34> sorry to jump in the conversation late but you may be able to use fstab to do what you want
[10:05] <skringla> CornholioTR: ntfs suport is buggy, I lost a hole partion doing what you are doing, I would mount it to windows and then unmount it just in case
[10:05] <oma-opa_> hi i found the language-support-de package using synaptic, I want to install it, so openoffice will be in german, the language-support-en is already installed, do I need to uninstall the english one or will the german one be used after installation?
[10:06] <CornholioTR> skringla: i don't have win right now
[10:06] <cua0> kevin34: yea, fstab is documented in the link i pasted.
[10:06] <skringla> CornholioTR: I sugjest you change the format as soon as posible to fat then, if you can get back into it
[10:07] <kevin34> cool cua0
[10:07] <Lou_> There is a bad segfault bug in the most recent version of libc-2.8.90.so. This is a major bug. How to report it?
[10:08] <reddevil> Hello, I have a dialup connection that I want to share with others over wireless lan. How can I do?
[10:08] <onetinsoldier> Lou_: you running ubuntu 8.10?
[10:08] <skringla> CornholioTR: fat is alot more stable than NTFS unless you never plan on accessing it with windows then ext3 or some thing
[10:08] <Lou_> onetinsoldier, yes.
[10:09] <CornholioTR> i originally formatted as ntfs because i had some dvd images
[10:09] <CornholioTR> i'll probably format it as ext3 when i get a chance
[10:09] <onetinsoldier> Lou_: i would try Applications --> System Tools --> Report a problem
[10:09] <onetinsoldier> oma-opa_: what is the language you have your system set to?
[10:10] <kevin34> hey this is wayyyy off topic but does anyone here know much about car insurance?
[10:10] <onetinsoldier> doh! ijust missed him
[10:10] <mint> !p2p
[10:11] <skringla> CornholioTR: I prefer fat because it is compatible with every thing at least on my externals and thumb drives, windows will not read ext3 to my knoedge
[10:11] <Lou_> onetinsoldier, can't. That program is also affected.
[10:12] <onetinsoldier> Lou_: roger. hang on
[10:14] <kc8pxy> skringla:  it will, butnot without lots of convincing
[10:14] <ardchoille> running Applications --> System Tools --> Report a problem results in a messagebox: "This problem report is damaged and canot be processed."
[10:14] <kc8pxy> skringla:  and IIRC it's only read-only last i checked.
[10:15] <CornholioTR> skringla: you need an ifs for win
[10:15] <skringla> kc8pxy: thats what I thought, to much work it sounds like
[10:15] <skringla> i'll stick with fat
[10:15] <carlosz> ji
[10:15] <carlosz> some one speak spanish ?
[10:15] <sara-> jack control stops iplayer working :S
[10:15] <ardchoille> !es | carlosz
[10:15] <onetinsoldier> Lou_: i'm not sure really. you could try installing 'reportbug'. i think you'd have to have your MTA installed and configured
[10:16] <kc8pxy> skringla:  I've seen it fsck up my ext*'s,   so i don't mess with it..   boot my linux and feed my windows files, with ntfs-3g :)
[10:16] <carlosz> well
[10:16] <CornholioTR> skringla: at last it worked
[10:17] <Lou_> onetinsoldier, ok. Thanks.
[10:17] <carlosz> i need some one explorerfor my ubuntu
[10:17] <ardchoille> carlosz: what is the problem?

[10:17] <onetinsoldier> Lou_: you're welcome and good luck
[10:17] <carlosz> i want one web explorer
[10:17] <skringla> CornholioTR:  good for you, took me a while to mount a drive through command line

[10:25] <carlosz> ok
[10:25] <ardchoille> carlosz: make the network.http.pipelining and network.http.proxy.pipelining keys to true
[10:25] <kevin34> what does that do
[10:26] <ardchoille> pipelining, speeds things up
[10:26] <carlosz> ok ready
[10:26] <ardchoille> carlosz: double-click the network.http.pipelining.maxrequests key and change 4 to 8
[10:26] <kevin34> cool
[10:27] <kevin34> im doing all this too i'll let you know how much it helps me out :)
[10:27] <ardchoille> ok :)
[10:27] <kevin34> thanks a bunch chief
[10:27] <ardchoille> np
[10:27] <kevin34> wish i could save these configs
[10:28] <ardchoille> kevin34: they're saved in the prefs.js file in your firefox folder, irrc
[10:28] <kevin34> what about for win
[10:28] <kevin34> i have both on the network
[10:28] <carlosz> k im ready
[10:28] <ardchoille> no idea, I haven't touched Windows in 7 years
[10:28] <kevin34> k
[10:28] <kevin34> sorry carlosz
[10:28] <ardchoille> carlosz: now, restart firefox and see if it's faster
[10:28] <unop> kevin34, should be the same on windows too
[10:29] <carlosz> ok  very thanks :D
[10:29] <ardchoille> unop: really? good info, thanks
[10:29] <ardchoille> carlosz: much faster?
[10:29] <kevin34> do i need to save first or anything?
[10:29] <carlosz> yeaah :D
[10:29] <ardchoille> carlosz: There are more tweaks here, but I haven't done the others: http://howto.helpero.com/howto/Speed-Up-Firefox_31.html
[10:30] <carlosz> its more faster
[10:30] <ardchoille> kevin34: no, just restart firefox
[10:30] <ardchoille> carlosz: Cool :)
[10:30] <carlosz> :D:D
[10:30] <carlosz> heymen
[10:30] <kevin34> hmmm

[10:30] <carlosz> i dont have flash player for ubuntu
[10:31] <ardchoille> kevin34: There are more tweaks here, might help: http://howto.helpero.com/howto/Speed-Up-Firefox_31.html
[10:31] <kevin34> sweet
[10:31] <kevin34> thanks man
[10:31] <ardchoille> carlosz:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash
[10:31] <ardchoille> kevin34: yw :)
[10:31] <carlosz> i have amd64 :\

[10:32] <ardchoille> carlosz: I'm not sure about flash for 64bit systems
[10:32] <carlosz> ok man thanks :D
[10:32] <carlosz> dont worry :p
[10:32] <kevin34> most pages come up really quick anyhow
[10:33] <carlosz> im new in unix
[10:33] <carlosz> and ilike that :D
[10:33] <ardchoille> carlosz: you have Linux, not unix
[10:33] <carlosz> its more better than windows
[10:33] <ichbinesderelch> carlosz: get yourself "cowsay" and like it even more :P
[10:35] <kevin34> wow a lot of tweaks on that site
[10:35] <RocketJumper21> go here to get the Adobe Flash 10 plugin beta for Ubuntu x64 ... http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/
[10:35] <MistDragn> biggest public chan on the network, ubuntu must be pretty awesome
[10:35] <kevin34> yes it is
[10:36] <ardchoille> MistDragn: I've been using Ubuntu since 2005 and I can attest that it is the best distro, IMHO. My 8 year old niece even uses it instead of others OS's
[10:36] <MistDragn> i heard you can put ubuntu on a ps3
[10:37] <MistDragn> well i should duck before saying this, but i'm a winblose user, just cause i know the keyboard shortcuts and i'm very fast with it
[10:37] <MistDragn> not vista of coz :>
[10:37] <RocketJumper21> download, then extract the libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins
[10:37] <kevin34> i like xp myself
[10:37] <kevin34> just because you like ubuntu you dont have to hate everything else
[10:38] <MistDragn> lotta people hate windows just because, various legitimate reasons
[10:38] <ardchoille> !ot
[10:38] <Guest98990> c'è qualcuno ?
[10:38] <kevin34> you hurt my feelings
[10:39] <kevin34> haha
[10:39] <Guest98990> http://xtreme-corp.net
[10:39] <MistDragn> hehe, so what makes ubuntu better than other dists? i would need one with an easy install
[10:39] <Guest98990> http://xtreme-corp.net for calcio , xxx,film,games,software
[10:39] <kevin34> fuck off
[10:39] <kevin34> not you mist
[10:39] <MistDragn> yeah of course i'm not the one trolling
[10:39] <kevin34> :)
[10:40] <MistDragn> if ur gonna do that stuff why not at least target a less educated user base..
[10:40] <ardchoille> Please watch the language and keep the channel family-friendly, I have an 8 year old who frequents this chanel
[10:40] <kevin34> oh yikes sorry about that chief
[10:40] <kevin34> didnt know that
[10:41] <Insectoid> The situation: I am a blind user well experienced with Linux (mostly gentoo and Debian) who wants a poke at 8.10.  Ubiquity, of course, doesn't work with ORCA, Gnome's screen reader so I need (untrained) sighted assistance to install.  All's fine until I get up to the partition manager.  I've got two drives in this notebook: a 160 and a 320 gig.  I've set aside 10 gigs to try Ubuntu (currently  unpartitioned.) I have my sighted
[10:41] <Gnea> kevin34: just don't talk like that at all in here, period.
[10:41] <bhavik> any one help me for install the printer on workstation in ltsp ubentu server
[10:41] <Gnea> !printer | bhavik
[10:41] <kevin34> yes thats why i just said sorry and didnt know
[10:41] <MistDragn> thats the main reason i dont use *nix as my primary OS.. drivers.
[10:42] <MistDragn> but i would love to get at some raw packets >:>
[10:42] <Gnea> MistDragn: works fine here, most drivers are built-in
[10:42] <Gnea> more drivers in ubuntu than in vista, that's for sure
[10:43] <MistDragn> yeah i am a die hard winblose user and i haven't ever touched vista except when i absolutely had no choice
[10:43] <ardchoille> MistDragn: Building your own computers is easy to learn and allows you to pick and choose hardware that you already know runs well with Ubuntu.
[10:43] <Gnea> XP has come a long way, they've done a really good job with it
[10:43] <MistDragn> well i am in the market to get a new pc after the holidays
[10:43] <yuan> ==
[10:43] <The_Joe_> I have a second HDD in my PC - but everytime I login I need to manually mount it and authenticate, is there anyway I can make it mount automatically?
[10:43] <MistDragn> but in order to be sold on a *nix dist i'd need to know that i can still game with it
[10:43] <Insectoid> Gnea: Seven years later...
[10:43] <ardchoille> Windows OS chat really should go to another channel
[10:44] <Gnea> Insectoid: HEH.
[10:44] <gui____> hi
[10:44] <MistDragn> just curious if ubunut can run pc compatible games or if i'd need a virtual machine
[10:44] <MistDragn> and if so, how much a virtual machine would degrade performance
[10:44] <The_Joe_> MistDragn, Wine/CrossOver/Cedega will _help_, but they're not perfect.
[10:44] <ardchoille> !wine | MistDragn you might look into this
[10:44] <gui____> I have a problem one of my disk is very poor in data transfer all details are there : http://pastebin.com/m45f13fa0 pls help me ;)
[10:44] <Insectoid> MistDragn: Wine will let you run some things -- it really depends what type of games you want to run.
[10:45] <bhavik> Thank you very much... i go through...
[10:45] <RocketJumper21> MistDragn use WINE or CrossOver
[10:45] <MistDragn> wonder if i'd be better off getting a mac with linux core and running ubuntu as an optional boot OS
[10:45] <Ad_> wat about ubuntu as PRIM and wind as VM
[10:46] <Gnea> MistDragn: cedega is also great for games, but be prepared to pay for it
[10:46] <Gnea> it's cheap, though
[10:46] <MistDragn> doesn't that defeat the purpose of open source ;)
[10:46] <Insectoid> MistDragn: If you want to pay the "apple tax" -- the smartest thing in my opinion is to build your own box (it isn't hard and you can install everything from xp to Ubuntu to Leopard on it with a little research)
[10:46] <The_Joe_> Gnea, It's GPL so getting it for free is OK. I guess.
[10:46] <Gnea> !cedega | MistDragn
[10:46] <Gnea> MistDragn: not at all
[10:47] <sara-> !ubuntu
[10:47] <Gnea> MistDragn: do note: dell sells computers with ubuntu on it, dell makes money off of it. there's nothing, anywhere, that states that you can't make money with it.
[10:48] <Insectoid> Now if only Linux accessibility was a little less ... epic fail?
[10:48] <Gnea> hrm yes, there are many issues yet to be tackled
[10:48] <Gnea> like this pulseaudio thing
[10:48] <The_Joe_> MistDragn, Open Source just means the Source is avaliable - "Free Software" does not mean free.
[10:49] <MistDragn> you'd just think if the source was available that someone would make a free version
[10:49] <Gnea> MistDragn: there's a difference between "free speech" and "free beer"
[10:49] <Insectoid> Gnea: Yeah -- and just generally Orca.  I can't believe anyone actually uses that without going mad.
[10:49] <The_Joe_> MistDragn, There probably is, you might even be able to get the source from somewhere and build it yourself
[10:49] <Gnea> MistDragn: only if you're blind and interpret things without any common sense
[10:50] <ardchoille> Insectoid: perhaps the orca/Ubuntu devs need to hear input from users like you, sounds to me like an opportunity for you to help make things better :)
[10:50] <fde> MistDragn: Find a case where that isn't true.
[10:50] <MistDragn> the amount of effort to find a case doesn't outweight how bad i care to be right ;)
[10:50] <Gnea> MistDragn: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
[10:51] <MistDragn> er, it does :>
[10:51] <Insectoid> ardchoille: The Orca devs are very well aware of their issues -- not being able to click Install on the desktop without jumping through hoops on the LiveCD, for instance, they just don't seem to ever make progress on fixing them.
[10:51] <fde> MistDragn: You're simply wrong though, every case where a software is GPL, there is a free version around.
[10:51] <MistDragn> im fine with that
[10:52] <itai-michaelson> hi, i'm getting an error on boot that /home/.dmrc is not owned by user. i found a solution here :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=971110, but my question is- do i need to write HOME and USER in capital letters when inputting the commands?
[10:52] <apparle> data gets copied very very slowly on USB flash disk.... whereas it is copied normally on windows
[10:52] <ardchoille> Insectoid: patience is a virtue, sometimes devs on one project are also devs on other projects.
[10:53] <fde> Insectoid: Complaining in an IRC channel doesn't improve anything, the Ubuntu name is so fitting for open source, its only as good as its separate parts, and right now the only people interested particularly in accessibility are Sun.
[10:53] <MistDragn> are there any links in the topic that would enable me to find pro-ubuntu compatible hardware?
[10:53] <Gnea> itai-michaelson: it's saying $HOME and $USER not HOME and USER, so yes, they need to be uppercase
[10:53] <MistDragn> as well as that would indicate how well ubuntu performs from a music/video media creation standpoint?
[10:53] <ardchoille> !hcl | MistDragn
[10:53] <Insectoid> ardchoille: It's not even so much the devs -- they're quite great guys, it's just gah! They need more people working on this stuff, but when getting the system setup to even start helping is so bloody difficult they won't get said help -- vicious cycle.
[10:53] <MistDragn> sweet thx
[10:54] <Gnea> fde: complaining does, actually, get attention. complaining in a constructive manner actually does help.
[10:54] <bwaoul> hi every body
[10:54] <bwaoul> i want to reinstall grub
[10:55] <fde> Gnea: In #ubuntu though? I can think of a lot of places that would be much more constructive.

[10:56] <The_Joe_> Hm. No one did tell me about the HDD mounting...
[10:56] <mysticdarkhack> anyone here know a good gdm theme but simular to the current one without the big ubuntu logo?
[10:57] <The_Joe_> mysticdarkhack, www.gnome-look.org
[10:57] <ardchoille> mysticdarkhack: have you seen other gdm themes ubuntu offers? have you seen http://www.gnome-look.org ?
[10:57] <Gnea> mysticdarkhack: www.gnome-look.org has a plethora
[10:57] <The_Joe_> ardchoille, Beat you to it - and you Gnea
[10:57] <Gnea> The_Joe_: no need for that.

[10:58] <fde> MistDragn: audacity is decent for audio creation, there is also mixxx and jokoshur depending on what you want... pitivi and kino are the best video editors in the archive, but cinelerra is much better
[10:59] <Blaise> fde: Have you had much luck using a guitar as an audio input?
[10:59] <fde> Uhh... jokosher*
[10:59] <mysticdarkhack> The_Joe_, I know but what name or how can I find the same gdm without the logo. It took me to long to find it.
[10:59] <fde> Blaise: I don't own a guitar... I rarely even listen to music containing them
[10:59] <MistDragn> i use a mixer for my audio recording, firewire connection.
[10:59] <MistDragn> direct line in works but you lose quality
[11:00] <ardchoille> mysticdarkhack: you can always copy a gdm theme from /ust/share/gdm/themes and modify it to suit your needs
[11:00] <The_Joe_> mysticdarkhack, What he said.
[11:00] <Insectoid> Blaise: I run all my instruments through the board and in with a 1/4 to pin jack and record stereo in audacity
[11:00] <mysticdarkhack> hmm
[11:00] <mysticdarkhack> good point
[11:00] <Blaise> fde: Ok, it's just that I connect a guitar to my machine through a foot pedal (Zoom GFX), this has worked on Windows, but doesn't on ubuntu
[11:01] <mysticdarkhack> thanks
[11:02] <bhavik> thank you very  much .. but i cannot detect the hardware on thin client ...
[11:03] <tux9778> how do i increase the video card mb?
[11:03] <MistDragn> overclock the RAM
[11:03] <ardchoille> tux9778: you would need to buy a new card

[11:08] <The_Joe_> Oh yeah
[11:08] <The_Joe_> I have a second HDD in my PC - but everytime I login I need to manually mount it and authenticate, is there anyway I can make it mount automatically?
[11:09] <MistDragn> find out command line for the mounting action and put it in a batch-like file on startup?
[11:09] <Blaise> I have a problem with my boot screen not displaying, my monitor says the resolution cannot be displayed, until X starts, then everything is fine, any reason for this?
[11:09] <ferranp> ﻿Hi, how to install cmemcache in ubuntu, I'm have this error wit test.py: mcm_server_stats():3025: unknown stat variable: pointer_size, cmemcache-0.95, libmemcache-1.4.0.rc2, thanks
[11:09] <MistDragn> yes, there is a reason.
[11:09]  * Andr00 dose the cha-cha all around the room
[11:09]  * ikonia requests Andr00 doesn't do random me commands
[11:09] <The_Joe_> MistDragn, That would ask me to authenticate every time I log in
[11:09] <Andr00> haha ok
[11:10] <MistDragn> you can't put your username/pass in the command?
[11:10] <MistDragn> i know jack about ubuntu
[11:10] <MistDragn> i guess it's not smart to have your username pass in a free text file for security reasons
[11:11] <The_Joe_> Of course not
[11:11] <MistDragn> write a little encryption/decryption app and run that on startup, have it interpret an encrypted file in order to submit the u/p
[11:12] <The_Joe_> You REALLY know jack about Ubuntu
[11:12] <MistDragn> hahahahahha so true

[11:13] <The_Joe_> Where's fstab?
[11:13] <The_Joe_> MistDragn, "Ubuntu" is Swahili(?) - it means "Humanity"
[11:14] <MistDragn> so we're both right

[11:14] <The_Joe_> koshar2, Ok - I'll try that, thanks
[11:14] <Andr00> speaking of random, i think instead of having linux distros like ubuntU and redhat and debian, the linux community should focus on making distros for states and countrys..... like "London OS" and "United States OS"
[11:14] <MistDragn> hmm... i can't find my ect folder, maybe its etc

[11:24] <The_Joe_> archman, Terminal - sudo mount /media/name-or-location-of-disk
[11:25] <The_Joe_> Unless you just formatted in which case you'll need to plug it out then back in.
[11:25] <archman> how can i know which is the hd? btw.: no new hardware in /media...
[11:25] <The_Joe_> I always have that problem... Sorry I don't know much more than that. There's probably another way.
[11:25] <Kartagis> help. i don't know what i d
[11:26] <Kartagis> help. i don't know what i did but my sound slide is gone and i can't turn the sound up/down using the front knob
[11:26] <archman> The_Joe_: btw devices are 'mapped' in /dev :)
[11:27] <The_Joe_> archman, I never figured out what the hell /dev is to be honest.
[11:27] <pen> Kart: What was the last thing you did before this happened?
[11:27] <Uther_P> can anyone tell me where I find what causes the console text to be buffered when opening the pager (less, man ect...) then restored when quitting them?  I can't seem to track it down and its very anoying
[11:28] <moza> The_Joe_, /dev is where the external devices appear (that's my understanding of it)
[11:28] <Slart> moza: get rid of a proxy? uninstall it? or are you talking about evading an external proxy?
[11:28] <Uther_P> I would like it to behave more like most other linux/unix consoles: when I quit a pager, I want a prompt, but still wanna see what was in the pager before I quit
[11:29] <jitu3485> hi , how can I make a custom ubuntu installation cd which will have all the packages/software installed on my system?
[11:29] <terryx> how to install envy
[11:29] <Slart> !envy | terryx
[11:29] <moza> Slack_, uninstall it... synaptic is not working and i'm pretty sure it's because it tries to get through a proxy (and it shouldn't)
[11:30] <Koordin> hi i have an annoying problem : i have to type 'sudo dhclient' in order to connect to internet and i have to retype it every minute in order not to be disconnected ; i'm on wifi ; does someone have an idea ? i've already tried to set up a static address ip as shown there but with no result : (eth0 is my wifi interface) http://paste.ubuntu.com/92145/
[11:30] <brainac0cult> mmm
[11:30] <terryx> how to install it
[11:30] <ardchoille> The /dev directory contains the special device files for all the devices. The device files are created during installation, and later with the /dev/MAKEDEV  script.
[11:30] <ikonia> terryx: don't use envy
[11:30] <terryx> why?
[11:30] <terryx> i have nvidia fx5500
[11:31] <brainac0cult> nvidia is col
[11:31] <ardchoille> !nvidia | terryx
[11:31] <achadwick> Uther_P: PAGER=more, IIRC. Not that you're still around.
[11:31] <Slart> moza: your synaptic is broken?
[11:32] <moza> i typed export "http_proxy=" in a terminal, and then did apt-get update
[11:32] <Slart> moza: afaik you don't need an internet connection to uninstall software
[11:32] <moza> since then, my graphical synaptic tells me that some updates are available (for openoffice.org and so on)
[11:33] <ardchoille> I ran the "Report a problem" app and it crashed. Is this a known issue?
[11:33] <moza> but when it tries to connect to internet to get the packages, the error is "403 forbidden"
[11:34] <Slart> moza: hmm.. I really don't know then..try asking the channel again
[11:34] <Koordin> hi i have an annoying problem : i have to type 'sudo dhclient' in order to connect to internet and i have to retype it every minute in order not to be disconnected ; i'm on wifi ; does someone have an idea ? i've already tried to set up a static address ip as shown there but with no result : (eth0 is my wifi interface) http://paste.ubuntu.com/92145/
[11:34] <nibbler> moza: sounds like proxyerror
[11:34] <nibbler> you have/need a proxy moza?
[11:35] <nibbler> Koordin: so your interface' ip gets lost after a minute?
[11:35] <moza> (sorry interrupted by phone)
[11:35] <Koordin> nibbler i don't know what happens after a minute but i don't have internet anymore and i'm bound to 'sudo dhclient'
[11:35] <moza> nibbler, i don't need a proxy where i am right now
[11:36] <mysticdarkhack> Morning again
[11:36] <moza> i needed a proxy at school, and i configured it back at that time
[11:36] <nibbler> Koordin: well, you could "sudo watch dhclient ..." but that would be no more than a stupid workaround
[11:36] <moza> what would do "watch"
[11:36] <moza> ?
[11:36] <nibbler> moza: so start apt in a shell with no set proxy?
[11:36] <moza> i did that
[11:36] <nibbler> moza: execute the command once in 2 seconds :)
[11:36] <nibbler> sorry, Koordin
[11:37] <mysticdarkhack> I edit my gdm theme but forgot to backup first
[11:37] <moza> lol, yes, stupid workaround...
[11:37] <nibbler> Koordin: so -n 60 maybe even
[11:37] <Zaribenn> anyone know how to fix the problem with screen flickering ?
[11:37] <moza> nibbler, i did that, but my apt didn't install the updates
[11:37] <nibbler> Koordin: you should check your logs what happens to your interface/ip
[11:37] <Koordin> nibbler, where ?
[11:37] <nibbler> moza: did u update before upgrading?
[11:37] <nibbler> Koordin: /var/log/{syslog,messages}
[11:37] <mysticdarkhack> so if anyone would kindly go to their /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human and send me a cop of Human.xml or copy the text to me

[11:41] <nibbler> moza: that wont upgrade you to ibex
[11:41] <moza> ok
[11:41] <nibbler> moza: as long as you use the right/original sources
[11:41] <ardchoille> mysticdarkhack: no problem, homd on..
[11:42] <moza> without exporting a void proxy, apt-get tells me "403 forbidden"
[11:42] <nibbler> moza: anything more than this?
[11:42] <nibbler> moza: like a few more lines of the console....
[11:42] <terryx> why mcomputer goes hang all the time...can anybody tell me please

[11:44] <nibbler> moza: btw, i think best practice is using "save-upgrade"... just for future use....
[11:44] <actafool> anyone know how to fix the problem with screen flickering ?

[11:45] <terryx> my ubuntu hangs random amount of time...some time auto logout in middle of any work...movies...mp3...downloading...what i do??????????????????????
[11:45] <actafool> lol
[11:45] <moza> nibbler, does it save the current settings just in case?
[11:45] <Koordin> nibbler this is what happens during the minute of "connected" : http://paste.ubuntu.com/92152/ (syslog)
[11:45] <mysticdarkhack> Anyone know a good app to monitor bandwidth cap for ubuntu?
[11:45] <actafool> fux ;(
[11:45] <nibbler> actafool: often TFT screens flicker when connected via RGB signal, bad shielding, wrong freq, broken device etc
[11:45] <Fret18> backup and reinstall
[11:45] <mysticdarkhack> just curious here
[11:45] <actafool> well my screen isnt tft
[11:45] <actafool> its Compaq p700 17'
[11:45] <amortvigil> does anyone how to run netcfg in fish?
[11:45] <MistDragn> yes.
[11:46] <terryx> my ubuntu hangs random amount of time...some time auto logout in middle of any work...movies...mp3...downloading...what i do??????????????????????
[11:46] <nibbler> moza: it just upgrades packets taht you already have on your systems to more recent version, and only breakes packeges once in a while :D
[11:46] <MistDragn> terryx; reinstall the OS
[11:46] <amortvigil> MistDragn: if you do please tell me
[11:46] <actafool> it write requered resolution and refresh frequency must be 1024x768 @ 85 HZ
[11:46] <MistDragn> amortvigil: i dont, but someone does
[11:46] <actafool> but my refresh freq is 60 hz
[11:46] <ardchoille> mysticdarkhack: I use gkrellm to monitor bandwidth, cpu, procs, hd sizes, email, memory, swap and other things, it's a great app
[11:46] <actafool> maybe thats the problem idk
[11:46] <MistDragn> who's idk?
[11:46] <terryx> have done 3-4 times..installed with windows xp...(inside windows)
[11:46] <moza> nibbler, ok, thanks, i take good note of this, save-upgrade :)
[11:46] <actafool> idk = i dont know
[11:46] <Fret18> terryx: make the files backup and reinstall ubuntu.
[11:47] <nibbler> moza: safe, not save
[11:47] <nibbler> Koordin: what interface are you using to connect to inet?
[11:47] <MistDragn> TCP/IP
[11:47] <moza> ok, safe-upgrade
[11:47] <mysticdarkhack> ardchoille, well can it monitor bandwidth usage
[11:47] <terryx> u understand..inside windows like webui
[11:47] <Koordin> nibbler, eth0 for the wifi
[11:47] <terryx> dual boot of windows and ubuntu
[11:47] <Fret18> terryx: wubi?
[11:47] <terryx> yes
[11:47] <nibbler> Koordin: eth0 for wifi sounds strange enough, but ok
[11:47] <terryx> wubi.........
[11:47] <moza> i'll see if this upgrade did any good to the rest of my problems, have a good day and thanks again
[11:47] <MistDragn> wubi.
[11:48] <Fret18> terryx: then, it's a bit worse...
[11:48] <terryx> why?
[11:48] <mysticdarkhack> ardchoille, comcast and other isp is start to cap bandwidth so just need something to help know my usage
[11:48] <Fret18> terryx: wubi installer will probably have to download all files again.
[11:48] <Fret18> terryx: have you tried loggin in using failsafe mode?
[11:48] <ardchoille> mysticdarkhack: oh, no, I don't think gkrellm monitors how much you've used, it just displays the current and last minute or so
[11:48] <terryx> no
[11:48] <Fret18> logging*
[11:49] <MistDragn> mysticdarkhack; IPCOP?
[11:49] <terryx> whats that option for>
[11:49] <terryx> ?
[11:49] <Fret18> terryx: try it. There's this option in the login screen.
[11:49] <mysticdarkhack> ardchoille, I find app for windows but I'm a full linux user
[11:49] <nibbler> Koordin: avahi-daemon[4783]: Registering new address record for 192.168.1.2 on eth1.IPv4.  <--- avahi binds this ip to eth1, this might be the prblem, you have 2 NICs in same network?
[11:49] <terryx> then what?
[11:49] <Fret18> terryx: then try doing an update.
[11:49] <terryx> why update
[11:49] <Koordin> nibbler, NICs ?
[11:49] <nibbler> Koordin: network interface cards
[11:49] <terryx> last time i do whole update and my ubuntu gets corrupted
[11:50] <Fret18> terryx: if your Ubuntu has corrupted files, it can probably fix.
[11:50] <terryx> i have to install it again
[11:50] <mysticdarkhack> MistDragn, you tried it?
[11:50] <laperr> is there a ubuntu-ps3 room
[11:50] <terryx> how
[11:50] <terryx> with upate
[11:50] <terryx> ?
[11:50] <Fret18> yes
[11:50] <ardchoille> mysticdarkhack: perhaps this?  bandwidthd - Tracks usage of TCP/IP and builds html files with graphs
[11:50] <terryx> what about last time
[11:50] <nibbler> Koordin: like having wlan and cable connected at the same time, or even two of the same kind...
[11:50] <keule_on> hi there - i have a problem with the resolution under intrepid - i only have 800x600 and 60hz - there is nothing in my xorg.conf - and i dont have any idea.... the concept in intrepid changed i red - so does anybody have an idea?
[11:50] <Fret18> terryx: my graphics card files were corrupted, but were fixed by an update.
[11:50] <nibbler> Koordin: as he is assigning IP to eth1, and you say you use eth0
[11:50] <ardchoille> mysticdarkhack: apt-cache search bandwidth | more
[11:50] <mysticdarkhack> ardchoille, guess I'll give it a tried
[11:51] <Koordin> nibbler, i have to NICs, one on wifi, and one on ethernet, but the ethernet cable is not plugged and i don't want to use the ethernet interface (eth1)
[11:51] <mysticdarkhack> ardchoille, so you not worrying about bandwidth cap?
[11:51] <Fret18> terryx: maybe you've done something wrong during the update setup. Try updating now. If it doesn't work, you'll probably have to reinstall Ubuntu.
[11:51] <nibbler> ok, but somehow it is assigend an ip, see the line i pasted b4. so you have 2 interfaces with same ip, this wont work obv.
[11:51] <nibbler> Koordin:
[11:51] <terryx> let me try one more thing
[11:51] <terryx> bye n thanx
[11:51] <Fret18> ok
[11:51] <ardchoille> mysticdarkhack: I don't transfer enough to worry about it really
[11:51] <Fret18> no problem.
[11:52] <kexman_> hi
[11:52] <kexman_> could anyone help me install an ubuntu kernel ?
[11:52] <kexman_> i have the system installed
[11:52] <alec> im having trouble connecting to a network. in networks i see the other machines but when i open the icon theres nothing there. im connected wirelessly so this may not be ideal but can anyone help with this??
[11:52] <kexman_> i just need the kernel
[11:52] <nibbler> Koordin: so maybe deactivate eth1, or set it to static in /etc/netwo*/interfaces
[11:52] <FloodBot3> kexman_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:52] <Fret18> terryx: also try getting help in the Ubuntu forum.
[11:52] <mysticdarkhack> ardchoille, lol I see. Well At least that a good thing in you side
[11:52] <kexman_> i am right now on the livecd in a terminal window under X :)
[11:52] <ardchoille> kexman_: if you have installed Ubuntu, then you should have a kernell too
[11:52] <Fret18> http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php
[11:52] <kexman_> its not me who started the installation
[11:52] <kexman_> but i need to finish it :)
[11:52] <kexman_> i dont know ubuntu... i would like just to install an ubuntu kernel and configure grub accordingly
[11:53] <kexman_> could anyone assis me with that ?
[11:53] <kexman_> ardchoille: well i have
[11:53] <nibbler> kexman_: insert cd, boot, click continue 1k times, read what is written, and everything should be fine
[11:53] <kexman_> ardchoille: its not me who installed the ubuntu
[11:53] <mysticdarkhack> Every linux distro always come with a kernel no matter what or else the os won't function
[11:53] <ikonia> kexman_: ubuntu installs the kernel for you
[11:53] <Fret18> Anyone here uses/used Epiphany browser?
[11:54] <Stanlin> what is epyfany
[11:54] <kexman_> ikonia: nibbler do i need initrd ?
[11:54] <ikonia> kexman_: you just need to boot from the install/livecd and follow the installation instructions on script
[11:54] <Fret18> A GNOME browser.
[11:54] <ikonia> kexman_: let ubuntu do all that for you
[11:54] <kexman_> hehh
[11:54] <kexman_> but someone messed wit hhits
[11:54] <ikonia> kexman_: you don't need to worry about that, the install will do it all for you
[11:54] <nibbler> kexman_: you usually have it. dont know if YOU need it
[11:54] <kexman_> and i now dont know if i need that or not
[11:54] <mysticdarkhack> Anyway, I'm off now all
[11:54] <mysticdarkhack> Take care and thanks for the help
[11:54] <Crewsr3_1> I would like to give back to the community "get involved" by helping with a particular package can someone point me in the right direction so that I can help
[11:54] <ikonia> kexman_: don't worry about it, let ubuntu manage your kernel
[11:54] <kexman_> nibbler: wll problem is that the guy who did this copyed his menu.lst
[11:54] <kexman_> and that had initrd in it
[11:55] <kexman_> but the file wasnt there
[11:55] <ikonia> kexman_: what is the actual problem your having ?
[11:55] <kexman_> and i dont know what he could had did
[11:55] <kexman_> i now have a kernel panick
[11:55] <nibbler> kexman_: what is he panicing about?
[11:55] <kexman_> cant mount root fs on unknownblock(0,0)
[11:55] <kexman_> i a now trying with root=/dev/sda1
[11:55] <kexman_> since that is where my / is
[11:55] <nibbler> try changing your root= parameter at boot prompt
[11:55] <kexman_> there was some UUID in that
[11:56] <kexman_> yeah that is what i want to to
[11:56] <Quinan> Is there any more update on a fix for using a USB headset with ubuntu?
[11:56] <nibbler> ah you did, good
[11:56] <kexman_> but i dont now if i need th f initrd or not
[11:56] <ikonia> kexman_: the initrd paramater should be set
[11:56] <woody86> can anyone help me figure out why I can connect to my WPA wireless with NM, but not WICD?
[11:56] <kexman_> ikonia: problem is that there was no initrd there
[11:56] <ikonia> kexman_: and you should have the initrd file in your /boot directory
[11:56] <kexman_> and i made one
[11:56] <kexman_> there wasnt any
[11:57] <ikonia> kexman_: if your missing files like that I would not trust the integrity of your machine
[11:57] <ikonia> kexman_: I would re-install
[11:57] <kexman_> hehehe :)
[11:57] <kexman_> ikonia: well i think its just that
[11:57] <kexman_> that gets made at compile time
[11:57] <kexman_> right ?
[11:57] <ikonia> kexman_: no
[11:57] <ikonia> kexman_: I think you should re-install your system
[11:57] <kexman_> ikonia: and i think not
[11:57] <kexman_> i am not fond of reinstallations
[11:57] <Fret18> lol
[11:57] <kexman_> and i used gentoo on many ocasions
[11:58] <nibbler> kexman_: if its a fresh install anyway, it might be easieset
[11:58] <kexman_> and i think this can be still fixed without reinstallations
[11:58] <kexman_> well if that file is static like the ubuntu kernel
[11:58] <kexman_> could anyone tell me where i could download it
[11:58] <ikonia> kexman_ if you are missing core files,I would not trust the integrity of yoru system, thats the reason I'm suggesting you re-install
[11:58] <kexman_> and try it
[11:58] <nibbler> kexman_: boot, chroot into it, reinstall latest kernel, should setup everything
[11:59] <kexman_> yeah nibbler that should work
[11:59] <kexman_> one more thing where should i install grub ? to hd0 or hd0,0 if my installation lies on a single /dev/sda1/
[11:59] <kexman_> nibbler: thnks i was thinking the same
[11:59] <ikonia> kexman_: on the boot sector of your boot disk
[11:59] <nibbler> kexman_: hd0, but doesnt matter
[12:00] <kexman_> okay
[12:00] <kexman_> i was just trying to minimazi problems :)
[12:00] <kexman_> man this ubuntu was a messed when i looked at it
[12:00] <kexman_> /etc/fstab had only #commented out lines in it :) hihihihi :))
[12:02] <ikonia> kexman_: thats why I suggest you re-install
[12:02] <kexman_> ikonia: cant you just give me the command to reinstall a working kernel ?
[12:02] <kexman_> i chrooted into the setup
[12:03] <ikonia> kexman_: of course, but it doesn't sound like thats the full situation
[12:03]  * A new e-mail message has just arrived. Press Alt-F4 to read it now.
[12:03] <kexman_> ikonia: let me just try that :)
[12:03] <ikonia> kexman_: it sounds like your machine is in a mass
[12:03] <kexman_> and hope meanwhile :)
[12:03] <ikonia> ardchoille: stop that please
[12:03] <bazhang> a dont do that
[12:03] <ikonia> MistDragn: please disable that script
[12:03] <woody86> Can anyone help me figure out why I can connect to my wireless with NM, but not WICD?
[12:03] <kexman_> ikonia: we could try that and if that doesnt work we go home :) its christmas :)
[12:03] <bazhang> MistDragn, dont do that
[12:03] <kexman_> ikonia: make me a presend :)
[12:03] <kexman_> send me a command :)
[12:03] <kexman_> please :)
[12:03] <kexman_> hehe
[12:03] <ikonia> kexman_ be quicker and easier to just re-install
[12:04] <Koordin> nibbler, i've deleted all the lines but the first two and this seems to work, but i don't know for how long
[12:04]  * Press Alt-F4 to increase your bandwidth now.
[12:04] <nibbler> kexman_: rtfm, rtfw, fgi
[12:04] <nibbler> Koordin: you deleted lines?? ummm yes, fingers crossed
[12:04] <ikonia> MistDragn: please don't do that again
[12:04] <kexman_> ooo maaan
[12:05] <MistDragn> sorry i didn't mean to do that.. this thing has all these options
[12:05] <MistDragn> i accidentally clicked the wrong thing
[12:05] <bazhang> MistDragn, disable them now
[12:05] <kexman_> please anyone give me a command to install the latest kernel (stable)
[12:05] <ikonia> !give ikonia a test
[12:05] <Koordin> yes nibbler in /etc/network/interfaces
[12:05] <ikonia> kexman_: apt-get install
[12:05] <MistDragn> they were never enabled, just a click to execute thing.. i'll avoid those menus
[12:05] <ikonia> kexman_: apt-cache search for tha package name
[12:05] <kexman_> Reading package lists... 1%
[12:06] <MistDragn> make install
[12:06] <kexman_> ikonia: what else should i reinstall ?
[12:06] <ikonia> kexman_: the whole system
[12:06] <kexman_> which are the core stuff that i would need ? :)
[12:06] <MistDragn> yeah you really need a full overhaul
[12:06] <nibbler> hehe
[12:06] <kexman_> ikonia: stop telling me that :P
[12:06] <ikonia> kexman_: then start listeing
[12:06] <nibbler> kexman_: aptitude install vim <-- 1st thing to do
[12:06] <kexman_> ikonia: i am not going to reinstall it
[12:06] <kexman_> if anyone then its that guy who messed up
[12:06] <ikonia> kexman_: ok, good luck thenm
[12:06] <kexman_> ill try fix this and if i cant in 10 - 15 minutes im going home :)
[12:06] <kexman_> simple :)
[12:07] <MistDragn> well everyone who's anyone knows that the first thing to do is aptitude install vim
[12:07] <ikonia> MistDragn: don't be silly
[12:07] <nibbler> kexman_: i advise you to go home now, save you the 15 mins

[12:07] <bazhang> MistDragn, stop please
[12:07] <MistDragn> there is one other thing you could try

[12:08] <kexman_> apt-get update
[12:08] <kexman_> apt-get upgrde :)

[12:11] <ikonia> tuntun: thats very specific
[12:12] <alec> so im trying to navigate to a file and change soemthing in it. how do i navgate to a file in command line. im really new to linux
[12:13] <bastid_raZor> !cli > alec

[12:14] <kexman_> see ya next year :)
[12:14] <troythetechguy> Good morning.  I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 with the following separate partitions: /, /home.  I created another partition for a future distro when I originally set this machine up.  If I install ubuntu 8.10 64bit on the spare partition, will I be able to share the same /home directory without any issues?  I assume 8.10 will show up in grub and allow me to choose which OS to use (8.04 or 8.10)?  Anything else I should consider before s
[12:14] <troythetechguy> etting this up?
[12:14] <kexman_> merry christmas nibbler ikonia  :)
[12:14] <kexman_> all hail reisntall :)
[12:14] <kexman_> :P
[12:14] <kexman_> im going home
[12:15] <Lou_> Just in case anyone else is having problems with their file browser being unable to open their home directory, it is caused by a bug in this file: lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc-2.8.90.so   Restoring that file from a backup older than the recent update solved the problem for me.
[12:16] <nibbler_> Koordin: working?
[12:17] <alec> bastid_razor: i have a familiarity with terminal, i think there is jsut somethign oim not getting my moind around particularly with opening aand manipulating fiiles i can navigate the terminal comfortably but i dotn know how to make a file my working directory. does that make any sense
[12:17] <SoundGuyLptop> hello. can anyone help me with fixing a ubuntu 6.06 that won't boot up after a power failure?
[12:17] <nibbler_> SoundGuyLptop: what error?
[12:18] <bastid_raZor> alec; cd /path/to/file then you can edit the file with a text editor such as vim or nano
[12:18] <SoundGuyLptop> i'll ask, but what my dad (who's near the server) told me, that the kernel is stuck while loading
[12:18] <SoundGuyLptop> and then -
[12:18] <SoundGuyLptop> it goes to the minimal shell ting
[12:18] <SoundGuyLptop> thing
[12:19] <SoundGuyLptop> and when he did df it said that /dec/hdc1 had some trouble
[12:19] <alec> bastid_razor: when i do that i get "no such file or directory. what am i doing wrong?
[12:19] <SoundGuyLptop> i don't even konw what to do to begin diagnosing what's wrong
[12:20] <ardchoille> ikonia: stop what?
[12:20] <dremits> hey everyone! Just wanted to ask a question regarding the ubuntu article on connecting to the internet using speedtouch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/SpeedTouch
[12:20] <dremits> The guide mentions extracting the firmware from the hardware but will these changes be then transferred back to the hardware or just stored on my hard drive. The point i'm asking is that if I set the speed touch modem up with Ubuntu, will the modem be affected in anyway when I use it with my other machine running Windows XP?
[12:20] <bastid_raZor> alec; you're either in the wrong directory or typing it wrong or it actually does not exist. where are you trying to get to? what are you typing?
[12:20] <ikonia> ardchoille: ?
[12:20] <bazhang> ardchoille, a mis-tab
[12:20] <ardchoille> ah
[12:20] <bazhang> ardchoille, the user's nick was 'A'
[12:20] <ardchoille> ok

It seems like the card disconnects and reconnects at random when copying files. F-spot complains about losing contact with d-bus..

[12:40] <SoundGuyLptop> nibbler_ : but;s an IDE drive
[12:40] <nibbler_> SoundGuyLptop: alternatively your secondary master harddrive has disappered, damages, dead etc
[12:41] <ardchoille> !es | KrossX
[12:41] <dr_willis> IDE drves show up as /dev/sd## now a days
[12:41] <SoundGuyLptop> even in 6.06 ?
[12:41] <nibbler_> SoundGuyLptop: on the shell, type fdisk -l
[12:41] <KrossX> Oh, sorry. Thought this was spanish. XD
[12:41] <Slart> SoundGuyLptop: ouch.. why are you running 6.06?
[12:41] <nibbler_> KrossX: there is some #ubuntu-es for sure
[12:41] <dr_willis> No idea on that SoundGuyLptop   - i dont use  that old stuff
[12:41] <KrossX> Oh, there's no trouble.
[12:42] <SoundGuyLptop> Slack_ : because it worked. until today.
[12:42] <nibbler_> hehe
[12:42] <nibbler_> bbl good luck to you SoundGuyLptop
[12:42] <KrossX> Question, how to make surround51 device as default in ALSA?
[12:42] <KrossX> I can't seem to access the wiki for the asoundrc... and most I found are just upmix for stereo.
[12:43] <alec> can anyone tell me how to navigate to a file, rather than a directory?
[12:44] <dr_willis> alec,   clarify what you mean.
[12:44] <alec> im trying to navigate to /etc/hosts. and i either cant or dont know how
[12:45] <dr_willis> alec,  that makes little sence...   what do you mean by navigate?
[12:45] <fosco_> alec: i can't understand the meaning of "navigate to a file"
[12:45] <dr_willis> to OPEN a file    commane /path/to/file
[12:45] <dr_willis> gedit /path/to/whatever.txt
[12:45] <alec> ok
[12:45] <dr_willis> which makes MUCH more sence then navigate. :)
[12:46] <dr_willis> my Tom-Tom Navigates. :)
[12:46] <alec> dr_willis: well im jsut following the directions i found online, where they use navigate all the time
[12:48] <anold> Hey there am new just trying to learn java any 1 to help me?
[12:49] <Vinceman> does anybody know anything about the sound recorder?
[12:49] <AshTray-> anold: And what Java has to do with ubuntu ?
[12:49] <dr_willis> alec,  cant say taht ive ever seen that term to  open a file.. You navigate  - ie :  'move to' a directory then work on files in the dir...
[12:50] <Vinceman> When you use the sound recorder, how do you know that input 'capture' is good enough? My sound is not recorded strongly enough.. :(
[12:50] <moza> nibbler_, that upgrade didn't solve my proxy problem :( does anybody have an idea on how to get rid of a proxy under 8.04 ?
[12:51]  * dr_willis Navigates to Grandmaws house. but does not Navigate to the Apple Pie :) he opens it..
[12:51] <Vinceman> nobody records sound? that's impossible
[12:51] <Vinceman> there are over 1200 people here!
[12:51] <moza> Vinceman, i use audacity to record sound
[12:51] <filthpig> anold: I guess there are better channels than this to get help with programming. You can try in #java
[12:51] <Vinceman> moza so the standard sound recorder is no good then?
[12:52] <filthpig> Vinceman: although there are 1200 people listed here, it doesn't mean they're all in front of their computer all the time
[12:52] <moza> and i adjust the capture volume so that it is high enough AND not too high to make noise
[12:52] <jercos> yeah, most of us live somewhere you'd have to be insane to be awake at the current hour.
[12:52] <moza> Vinceman, i don't know what is the standard sound recorder
[12:52] <moza> and if i need another adjustment on the capture, i use alsamixer
[12:52] <alec> dr_willis: well i guess i just meant, how do i navigate to the apple pie
[12:53] <ardchoille> Vinceman: you also must consider that some of use don't even use sound, I'm not even sure if mine works
[12:53] <Vinceman> gnome-sound-recorder 2.24.0.1
[12:53] <filthpig> btw Vinceman, if you right-click on the sound icon, select "open volume control" and go to file - change device and go to the capture device, you can adjust capture levels there
[12:53] <slacker_nl> i have a a file /path/to/b.sh and there is a symlink /another/path/to/c.sh, and b.sh uses dirname $0, but when executing c, the dirname is incorrect, what application/cmd can i use to get the correct dirname?
[12:54] <jercos> readlink?
[12:54] <dr_willis> alec,  that would be going to the directory/folder.. with the use of the 'cd' command.
[12:54] <dr_willis> cd /home/grandma/kitchen/fridge/
[12:54] <dr_willis> eat apple.pie
[12:54] <dr_willis> :)
[12:55] <ardchoille> slacker_nl: have you moved the file that /another/path/to/c.sh links to?
[12:55] <Vinceman> where's this sound icon?
[12:55] <Vinceman> filthpig?
[12:56] <moza> Vinceman, probably at the bottom right of your screen if you didn't move the toolbars
[12:56] <jimmy__> Mary X-mas everybody
[12:57] <alec> dr_willis: yes i see the difference, but you see what i meant. after all your a doctor. it was just an issue of semantics.
[12:57] <dr_willis> alec,  semantics kills :)
[12:57] <dr_willis> alec,  i still use the term 'directory' not folder.. also.. im old-skool
[12:57] <clamiax> hi
[12:57] <dr_willis> alec,  you were allready navigating to the file :) is what had us confused.
[12:58] <jercos> well, I mean, you don't cf to a folder, you cd to a directory...
[12:58] <slacker_nl> jercos: looks like i need that
[12:58] <slacker_nl> tyvm
[12:58] <jercos> slacker_nl: indeed. you are quite welcome :)
[12:59] <alec> dr_willis: yes, im new to command line, its what had me confused, i thought i could make the file my working directory jsut as i would /Desktop, for example.
[12:59] <slacker_nl> i knew there was a command that did it, but forgot the name :)
[12:59] <clamiax> I'm trying to get my mini DV videos out of my camera over Firewire/USB on Ubuntu 8.04. I tried to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire#Method%205.%20%27GROUP=video%27 . Unlucky i didn't solved my problem and i get the following error "WARNING: raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/raw1394!"
[12:59] <clamiax> I tried to run Kino as root but i get the same problem, i googled a lot (and i'm still googling) but without success
[12:59] <alec> dr_willis:but its in fact a different command to open the file. as i have now learned.
[12:59] <jercos> clamiax: sudo modprobe raw1394 would be my first instinct
[13:00] <clamiax> my camera is a Canon MV900, does anyone have an idea?
[13:00] <clamiax> jercos: already did, it was my first attempt.
[13:00] <jercos> okay, if you run "id" is "video" one of the groups you are in?
[13:00] <clamiax> jercos: i also loaded the dv1394 module
[13:00] <SoundGuyLptop> nibbler_: thanks.
[13:00] <clamiax> jercos: yes, i'm in the video group. I also tried to run Kino as root, btw.
[13:00] <SoundGuyLptop> nibbler_ : hdc1 was the cdrom, we edited in grub to be hda1
[13:01] <martintux1> cany anyone help me with mysql lamp?
[13:01] <jercos> how odd. and ls -lah /dev/raw1394?
[13:01] <robinpahwa> ﻿ ﻿My Vim has stopped displaying colors when i use to edit my dot c files or any other program file, it just shows me black text - any body has any idea ?
[13:02] <jercos> robinpahwa: does it start showing colors again if you do :syntax on?
[13:02] <clamiax> crw-rw---- 1 root disk 171, 0 2008-12-24 13:48 /dev/raw1394
[13:02] <clamiax> jercos: that's the output
[13:02] <Vinceman> moza the extra options are in open volume control but not in the sound recorder
[13:02] <robinpahwa> jercos: yes ... when i use :syn on
[13:02] <nibbler_> SoundGuyLptop: good, strange how it changed.....
[13:02] <pcmagas> hey guys
[13:03] <moza> Vinceman, then modify them in the volume control, it may help
[13:03] <ikonia> pcmagas: yes ?
[13:03] <clamiax> hey pcmagas
[13:03] <pcmagas> what yes?
[13:03] <dr_willis> alec,  more fun confusion at the 'lowest' levels of the OS.. even directories are files. :)
[13:03] <Vinceman> I tried, the recording volume is still very low
[13:03] <moza> (i'm definitely not an expert in sound
[13:03] <ikonia> pcmagas sorry, for some reason you got highlighted as if you where talking to me, my mistake, sorry
[13:03] <martintux1> anyone know how to completely reinstall mysql?
[13:03] <pcmagas> nm
[13:03] <martintux1> mysql server is totally screwed up
[13:03] <ikonia> martintux1: use the --reinstall package
[13:04] <ikonia> martintux1: --reinstall option sorry
[13:04] <ikonia> martintux1: define screwed
[13:04] <martintux1> but the sock and everything is missing, i have no idea
[13:04] <Mallen> ok, ive always wondered this, but do you have to have an anti-virus program (ie. kapersky, Trend) with linux?
[13:04] <robinpahwa> jercos: you there ?
[13:04] <slacker_nl> robinpahwa: http://pb.opperschaap.net/58
[13:04] <martintux1> will it help too?
[13:04] <ikonia> martintux1: nope
[13:04] <jercos> robinpahwa: yeah, add syntax on to ~/.vimrc?
[13:04] <ikonia> martintux1: still waiting for you to explain teh problem
[13:04] <slacker_nl> robinpahwa: put that in your vimrc, and you can enable syntax with the press of a button
[13:05] <jacko> Mallen: not unless you wanna scan for windows viruses
[13:05] <martintux1> ikonia, 1 sec
[13:05] <alec> dr_willis:well i probably have a while before i run into that problem
[13:05] <Mallen> jako, windows viruses? on my ubuntu box?
[13:05] <Ean> Hi all! And Meryr Christmas!
[13:05] <robinpahwa> jercos: i m unable to see a .vimrc file in my home directory
[13:06] <ardchoille> robinpahwa: you have to create that file
[13:06] <jacko> Mallen: that would be, if you run a mailserver and wanna scan for windows viruses through your mail server to protect your userbase
[13:06] <clamiax> jercos: maybe do i have to enable something into the camera? I can't see it from my laptop.
[13:06] <jercos> robinpahwa: then echo 'syntax on' > ~/.vimrc :-)
[13:06] <alec> dr_willis: actually, while were at it, how do i connect to a network (aka, the windows network at my apartment) in ubuntu. i can see the other connected computers but i cant access any files
[13:06] <ardchoille> robinpahwa: I created mine from /usr/share/vim/vimrc
[13:06] <slacker_nl> robinpahwa: http://pb.opperschaap.net/59
[13:06] <slacker_nl> that is what I have for syntax highlighting in vim
[13:07] <Ean> How can I make Compiz NOT to make a mini-thumb of the window when I alt tab? Just as when I have the extra bling-bling off? Because WoW seem sto crash when I have it on... :(
[13:07] <erle-> how can i configure details of localisation in gnome?
[13:07] <Mallen> jako: but as far as a personal computer, spyware and virus off the internet dont infect linux?
[13:07] <jercos> clamiax: it's possible. I'm by no means a 1394 expert, but I'm googling around trying to find something
[13:07] <b52> hey guys
[13:07] <martintux1> Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[13:07] <b52> i wish you all merry christmas
[13:07] <clamiax> jercos: THX a lot for your help and time!
[13:07] <ikonia> martintux1 normally means mysql isn't running
[13:07] <jacko> Mallen: stop being paranoid
[13:07] <jacko> Mallen: it's ok to except that linux is pretty safe
[13:08] <Mallen> jako: lol ok
[13:08] <Mallen> ty
[13:08] <slacker_nl> Mallen: it can happen, but it is not very likely
[13:08] <davenchris> Good morning
[13:08] <clamiax> hey
[13:08] <jacko> Mallen: you'd have to be part of the problem for something like that to happen
[13:08] <slacker_nl> Mallen: and if it happens, it usually contained to tha user running the virus, not the whole system
[13:08] <Mallen> ah, ok
[13:08] <davenchris> First timer
[13:08] <robinpahwa> Thank you all .. i m trying to make my own .vimrc file
[13:08] <allsystemsarego> Hi. Question. Renaming xorg.conf to something else and rebooting will recreate that file from scratch?
[13:08] <Mallen> gotcha thanks guys
[13:08] <dr_willis> alec,  depends.. :) the 'new' way is use the gnome file manager and browse the network/acces the shares.. the  command line way is to mount the samba shares with smbmount or similer commands.  see the pacakge 'samba-doc' and the books in it.. for all the info you would EVER want on samba. :)
[13:08] <jercos> clamiax: sure thing. your ls -l indicated that raw1394 was actually owned by "disk" not "video", does it work after sudo chgrp video /dev/raw1394?
[13:08] <slacker_nl> allsystemsarego: noooo
[13:08] <ikonia> allsystemsarego: should do
[13:09] <ikonia> slacker_nl: ? I thought it created a stock one on restart ?
[13:09] <martintux1> ikonia, i think mysql is already started...
[13:09] <slacker_nl> ikonia: no
[13:09] <ikonia> martintux1 you need to check
[13:09] <dr_willis> alec,  also the gnome/file manager/browse method - is VERY flakey for me.. often i have to type in the full path to the  machine/sharename for it to pop up the username/password dialog to allow me to access the share
[13:09] <martintux1> how?
[13:09] <jacko> Mallen: for instance, you don;t wanna run sshd on port 22 without RSA authentication
[13:09] <slacker_nl> ikonia: you need to run dpkg-reconfigure x11-package for that
[13:09] <ikonia> martintux1 ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep myqsl
[13:09] <dr_willis> allsystemsarego,  no need to reboot,.,. just restart the X server.. its worked for me befor.
[13:09] <ikonia> slacker_nl interesting
[13:10] <jacko> Mallen: that is where people make mistakes, but as stated, you'd have to be part of the problem
[13:10] <bmeynell> how can I have a cool desktop? like a new live picture every X minutes from somewhere in the world or something else cool?
[13:10] <narita> hyyyyyyyyy?
[13:10] <martintux1> hhmmm, seems like nothing shows up
[13:10] <ikonia> martintux1 not started then
[13:10] <Analysto> how could i register my username?
[13:10] <martintux1> ikonia, then what can i do?
[13:10] <ikonia> Analysto: join #freenode
[13:10] <slacker_nl> ikonia: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[13:10] <ikonia> martintux1: start it "sudo mysql start"
[13:10] <slacker_nl> this is what you need to run to recreate the file
[13:10] <ardchoille> !register | Analysto
[13:10] <ikonia> martintux1: sorry, "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start"
[13:10] <Mallen> jako: thank you again, better safe than sorry
[13:11] <clamiax> jercos: not, same thing. I think the group no matter at all when i run Kino as root.
[13:11] <martintux1> ikonia, that's when it shows" ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock"
[13:11] <Ean> How can I make Compiz NOT to make a mini-thumb of the window when I alt tab? Just as when I have the extra bling-bling off? Because WoW seem sto crash when I have it on... :(
[13:11] <ikonia> martintux1: what command are you using
[13:11] <ikonia> martintux1: exactly what command
[13:12] <martintux1> sudo mysql start
[13:12] <dremits> hey everyone! Just wanted to ask a question regarding the ubuntu article on connecting to the internet using speedtouch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/SpeedTouch
[13:12] <dremits> The guide mentions extracting the firmware from the hardware but will these changes be then transferred back to the hardware or just stored on my hard drive. The point i'm asking is that if I set the speed touch modem up with Ubuntu, will the modem be affected in anyway when I use it with my other machine running Windows XP?
[13:12] <ikonia> martintu "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start"
[13:12] <Dender> Hi guys, I need some help with a cool idea
[13:12] <dr_willis> bmeynell,  theres random/desktop/wallpaper changer tools out there..  check he package manager..
[13:12] <ikonia> martintux1: "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start"
[13:12] <Dender> also merry xmas ;)
[13:12] <slacker_nl> merry x-mas :)
[13:13] <bmeynell> dr_willis: not cool enough :P
[13:13] <martintux1> opps, failed
[13:13] <ikonia> martintux1 no you need to look at the syslog and the mysql server logs to find out why it's failing, they are in /var/log
[13:13] <jercos> Ean: install compiz config settings manager (ccsm) and you can use it to turn on or off individual features.
[13:13] <Dender> so, it goes like this. when i close my laptop i want ubuntu to start the screensaver
[13:13] <Dender> how do i do that?
[13:14] <Ean> jercos, Yeah, I have compiz-config installed. But I can't find a option for thumbs... :P
[13:14] <martintux1> mysql.log?
[13:15] <praet> dremits: it seems that you are creating a driver from the firmware, not modifying the modems
[13:15] <jercos> Ean: it should be there, give me a sec to start up gdm on my intrepid system :P
[13:15] <Ean> jercos, :D
[13:15] <robinpahwa> jercos: Can i use vim to complete my c++ syntaxes ???
[13:15] <martintux1> which file should contain the log of mysql?
[13:15] <ikonia> martintux1 I told you the mysql logs and the syslog in /var/log
[13:16] <dr_willis> bmeynell,  'eye candy causes ocular cavaties;
[13:16] <asdffdsa> Merry Xmas Eve pplz
[13:16] <jercos> robinpahwa: I'm not sure what you mean by that.
[13:16] <asdffdsa>  Brand new laptop, wiped XP, installed Ubuntu 8.10 32bit Desktop... has a strange atheros chipset that the pre-installed madwifi driver does not support...  disabled non-working driver... retrieved "special"/working driver package from madwifi, make install'd pkg.. modprobe ath_pci... and it worked... but every time I reboot I have to type "modprobe ath_pci" to get it to function...
[13:16] <martintux1> they're all plain blank
[13:16] <asdffdsa> The "support for atheros chipset wifi cards" in ubuntu's "hardware drivers" program states the built-in driver is disabled (i have rebooted several times)
[13:16] <bmeynell> dr_willis: haha 'eye candy keeps sanity'
[13:16] <alec> dr_willis: now using samba?
[13:16] <ikonia> martintux1: thee sylog is not blank
[13:17] <dr_willis> alec,  Huh?
[13:17] <asdffdsa> How can I get the new, special madwifi driver working on startup when I have to type modprobe ath_pci everytime to get it to work?
[13:17] <jercos> Ean: hmmm, it's changed a bit since hardy. my solution would be to turn off static application switcher and use application switcher instead, as it has an option to turn off icons.
[13:17] <Ean> asdffdsa, I guess you could add that line in sessions.
[13:18] <asdffdsa> ean : looking for a proper solution
[13:18] <martintux1> but how should i know which line is about mysql?
[13:18] <ikonia> !nickspam> Analysto
[13:18] <asdffdsa> shouldn't have to go to that point?
[13:18] <alec> dr_willis: i have samba. but i have no idea what to do with it, im reading something from a google search right now.
[13:18] <Ean> asdffdsa, Ok. :P
[13:18] <Ean> jercos, Ok, where? Because I can't find any option for that... -.-
[13:18] <martintux1> oh, i see
[13:18] <martintux1> Fatal error: Can't remove the pid file: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
[13:18] <dr_willis> alec,  tell the channel exactly what it is you are wanting to do. :) mounting samba shares via the command line - is documented all over the place..
[13:19] <dr_willis> !samba
[13:19] <jercos> Ean: hrm, never mind, it seem to not actualy disable icons when icons is unchecked. grrrr.
[13:19] <robinpahwa> please tell me is there any way i can complete my C syntaxes using vim ?
[13:20] <Ean> jercos, Yeah, noticed that. THought that that option were to enable just icons :P But it wasn't >.<
[13:20] <RFXCasey> I need some help straightening out my Grub menu
[13:20] <asdffdsa> robinpahwa, get a programmer's editor?
[13:20] <clamiax> jercos: my cable is dv->USB, not 1394
[13:20] <clamiax> -.-
[13:20] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, best solved for googling "ubuntu grub"
[13:20] <dr_willis> robinpahwa,  vim has 1000000s of such features - i would say - check its docs...
[13:20] <AshTray-> SquirrelMail gives me this error: ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server. Dovecover is installed and runing. If I telnet 143 it's working. I've setup in squirrelmail-configure the IMAP port to 143...
[13:20] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, you have a good bit of reading to do before attempting to edit your grub
[13:20] <clamiax> jercos: though i'm not able to make it work anyway.
[13:20] <Pici> asdffdsa: Thats not helpful, this is a support channel.
[13:20] <RFXCasey> But I have a specific question
[13:20] <Ean> jercos, The strange thing is that the mini-thumbs are gone when you turn off the visual effects... :P
[13:20] <asdffdsa> Pici, no sense in typing what's already written in a 20 page tutorial
[13:21] <martintux1> ok, i'm done with this thing
[13:21] <asdffdsa> If user *knows* they gotta edit grub, they need to read the whole thing, not have you type it line by line
[13:21] <asdffdsa> Any idea about my madwifi issue?
[13:21] <martintux1> any idea how to completely reinstall mysql?
[13:21] <RFXCasey> I have read it all
[13:21] <ikonia> martintux1: why do you want to re-install
[13:21] <ikonia> martintux1: find the problem
[13:21] <RFXCasey> It's not just a Grub issue
[13:21] <ikonia> martintux1: re-install rarley fixes the problem
[13:22] <martintux1> ikonia, you're right
[13:22] <jercos> Ean: well,
[13:22] <Pici> RFXCasey: Explain the problem and someone may be able to help you.
[13:22] <martintux1> but i can't really find the problem
[13:22] <robinpahwa> asdffdsa: Thanx but i was just giving a try here :) someone might have read one of those syntax i need to customize my vim
[13:22] <ikonia> martintux1: what's int he lgos ?
[13:22] <ikonia> martintux1: what's in the logs sorry
[13:22] <jercos> Ean: I believe selecting none actually switches over to metacity, not compiz.
[13:22] <Pici> robinpahwa: 1) make sure you've installed the vim-full package 2) #vim may be able to help you out further
[13:23] <RFXCasey> I need to know how to identify my partition and translate the sda1 type stuff to the HD0,0 stuff
[13:23] <asdffdsa> robinpahwa, there might be some addon u could use... but I've tried the *numerous* pre-made programming editors and they're *nice*... no sense in seraching so hard to modify vim
[13:23] <Ean> jercos, Oh, didn't think of that at all. :P
[13:23] <martintux1> ikonia,
[13:23] <martintux1> http://pastebin.com/m59a3eeb0
[13:23] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, There's a tutorial on those... the numbers are called major/minor... I had to learn them about 3 weeks ago for an install... I'll find you a guide... brb
[13:23] <robinpahwa> Pici: I am also looking in #vim there i find :﻿h ft-c-omni
[13:23] <alec> dr_willis: do you know if mount name is going to be the name of the computer, for example HTPC is the name?
[13:24] <robinpahwa> asdffdsa: I find this ﻿:h ft-c-omni
[13:24] <RFXCasey> I have several partitions and I am trying to identify the one with the windows boot files
[13:24] <ikonia> martintux1: put the output of "ps -ef | grep mysql" in a pastebin please
[13:24] <RFXCasey> when I installed windows it told me I had to make a partition on disk 1 for the windows boot files but the rest of windows is on disk 2
[13:25] <jercos> Ean: you could try the ring switcher, since it doesn't use thumbnails as such...
[13:25] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, for windows to boot it has to be installed first, then linux afterwards
[13:25] <termos> hi. i'm running a different WM than gnome but i want gnome-setting-manager to run when i start so i get fonts set correctly. it doesn't seem to work to edit .xinitrc
[13:25] <Ean> jercos, Just one problem -> My ring-switcher does actually use thumbnails... >.<
[13:25] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, Windows is picky and demands it be the first partition
[13:26] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, while linux could care less which partition it's on
[13:26] <dr_willis> alec,  monting basics.. the mount POINT is a directory - that can be ANY name you want
[13:26] <martintux1> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m2db88375
[13:26] <ikonia> martintux1 it's already running
[13:26] <ikonia> martintux1: thats good
[13:27] <jercos> Ean: :-\ well, I mean, it scales the window directly instead of generating a static thumbnail image... but yeah, the best idea is probably just to use metacity when playing WoW...
[13:27] <ikonia> martintux1: so ls -la martintux1
[13:27] <hpd> hello people
[13:27] <RFXCasey> Ok the whole story is I had Ubuntu on the first disk and I installed Windows on the second disk, I then resetup Grub and now I need Grub to tell windows to start
[13:27] <RFXCasey> It is possible to install Windows after Ubuntu
[13:27] <Arodon> I'm having DNS issues: for certain hosts (incl. *.ubuntu.com) wget always fails to resolve the hostname, but ping and dig still work, other hosts (google, yahoo, etc) work fine. What could cause this?
[13:28] <Ean> jercos, Aye, maybe. But thanks for the help anyway then. :) And Merry Christmas!
[13:28] <hpd> Merry C
[13:28] <dr_willis> RFXCasey,  theres a example entry in the menu.lst to boot windows off the first hd.. you may be able to set it to boot the 2nd.. use the bios features to boot the 2nd hd and bypass grub.. or install grub to the windows hd.. and swap them out.. so windows becomes the first hd..
[13:28] <ikonia> Arodon: check /etc/nsswitch.conf
[13:28] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, sure, you can install, but good luck getting it to boot
[13:28] <dr_willis> RFXCasey,   Its very possible.. it alsy pays to understand how machines boot and grub works.. not too hard. if you learn  grub :)
[13:28] <asdffdsa> just as linux knows if the hd is primary or secondary, master or slave
[13:28] <asdffdsa> so does windows
[13:29] <dr_willis> The use of the UUID information in the ubuntu grub/fstab - makes ubuntu  more smarter about  when hds move around
[13:29] <asdffdsa> had many windows installs not boot from anything but primary master
[13:29] <RFXCasey> I think all I have to do at this point is tell Grub the correct partition containing the windows boot.ini
[13:29] <Acedip> how can i generate a cpu temerature log file with temperature entries in time lapes.. ??
[13:29] <Arodon> ikonia: I messed with stuff in that file earlier based on some google hits, but it qdidn't seem to make any difference. fwiw nslookup handles the *.ubuntu.com hosts just fine also
[13:30] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, you don't need the root=hd(x,x) thing in the grub for windows, only for linux
[13:30] <ikonia> Arodon can you poaste it
[13:30] <ikonia> Arodon: nslookup is FORCED to use dns
[13:30] <ikonia> Arodon: can you pastebin your resolv.conf please
[13:30] <martintux1> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/d11bf8776
[13:30] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, you can use /dev/blah in the grub for windows...
[13:30] <RFXCasey> tell me how
[13:30] <RFXCasey> what do you mean Blah
[13:30] <ikonia> martintux1 what command was that
[13:31] <bakarat_> i'm trying to use davfs2 to mount a webdav source, but i get this error:  Transport endpoint is not connected
[13:31] <martintux1> ikonia, ls -la
[13:31] <ikonia> martintux1: I meant ls -al /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock sorry
[13:31] <meermanr> How do I find what version of X I have installed and running? /var/log/xorg.0.log says the X server is 1.5.2, aptitude says 7.4 and nvidia's readme talks of X11R6.9.0 ...
[13:32] <martintux1> np, 1 sec
[13:32] <dr_willis> meermanr,  try X -version or X --version perhaps
[13:32] <meermanr> O, and X --version doesn't show anything helpful
[13:32] <martintux1> ls -al /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock :kionia
[13:32] <dr_willis> it may be 1 dash
[13:32] <meermanr> Ah, hold on.

[13:33] <meermanr> dr_willis: Yes, it is. But it still seems way out from all other references
[13:33] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, Read tutorials on GRUB : http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub.html
[13:33] <dr_willis> termos,  you mean when you use the 'startx' command? or login via gdm?
[13:33] <ikonia> Arodon try changing hosts to just "dns" see what it does
[13:33] <termos> dr_willis: login via gdm
[13:33] <meermanr> 1.5.2, is that new? I ask because the nVidia readme refers to 6.9.0 and newer, so it seems like a different numbering scheme entirely..
[13:33] <martintux1> ikonia, ls: cannot access /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock: No such file or directory
[13:34] <ikonia> martintux1 kerrking we have a winner
[13:34] <dr_willis> termos,  because gdm dosent use .xinitrc i think there may be a special gdm session that uses .xinitrc or .Xsession or was it .xsession  if you want a custome X session...
[13:34] <martintux1> eh?
[13:34] <ikonia> martintux1: first "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop" - then "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start" see if it re-creates that file
[13:34] <Arodon> ikonia: same thing. ping works, but wget fails to resolve archive.ubuntu.com
[13:35] <dr_willis> termos,  if you select gnome or other  desktiop in gdm.. .xinitrc is ignored. :) it uses the gnome.desktop  data to pick what to run
[13:35] <martintux1> damn, same thing.... start fail
[13:35] <asdffdsa>  Brand new laptop, wiped XP, installed Ubuntu 8.10 32bit Desktop... has a strange atheros chipset that the pre-installed madwifi driver does not support...  disabled non-working driver... retrieved "special"/working driver package from madwifi, make install'd pkg.. modprobe ath_pci... and it worked... but every time I reboot I have to type "modprobe ath_pci" to get it to function...
[13:35] <asdffdsa> The "support for atheros chipset wifi cards" in ubuntu's "hardware drivers" program states the built-in driver is disabled (i have rebooted several times)... how can I get the special madwifi working automatically?
[13:35] <ikonia> martintux1 is the start fail message the same?
[13:35] <RFXCasey> ok I have a partition just for the windows boot files on the first HD and the rest on windows is on the 2nd. Windows had me do this during install cause it detected Ubuntu was already installed.
[13:36] <martintux1>  * Starting MySQL database server mysqld                       [fail]
[13:36] <termos> dr_willis: ah okey thanks, i'm not running gnome. is there some gdm files that run whenever i start a wm?
[13:36] <ikonia> Arodon: can you ping 192.168.1.0
[13:36] <nibbler_> asdffdsa: put it into /etc/modules
[13:36] <ikonia> martintux1 check the logs - is it the same3
[13:36] <RFXCasey> I reinstalled Grub to the first hard drive again to the MBR
[13:36] <ikonia> martintux1 check the logs - is it the same
[13:36] <asdffdsa> nibbler_ : put what?  how?
[13:36] <dr_willis> termos,  each gdm session entry has its own matching whatever.desktop file that defines what gets ran
[13:36] <nibbler_> asdffdsa: echo ath_pci >> /etc/modules
[13:37] <asdffdsa> nibbler_ : ty, merry xmas :)
[13:37] <Arodon> ikonia: yes. ping seems to be working fine for everything
[13:37] <martintux1> ikonia, it's the same
[13:37] <dr_willis> termos,  if you see IceWM in the gdm menus. then thers some icewm.desktop file - that gdm is reading
[13:37] <nibbler_> asdffdsa: thanks, good luck
[13:37] <ikonia> martintux1 ok, then it looks like it didn't shut down properly
[13:37] <ikonia> martintux1: can you please show me the current output of "ps -ef | grep mysql"
[13:37] <martintux1> sure
[13:38] <ikonia> Arodon: what is the exact command your using
[13:38] <RFXCasey> Ubuntu boots fine now but it acts like it can't find the WIndows boot files, I think I've only got to identify the proper name to use (hd?,?)
[13:38] <OchenZloy> hello, is there any pro of router configuration under windows xp ? ;[
[13:38] <asdffdsa> nibbler : actually, the pc in question is completely frozen atm for some unknown reason... can't move mouse, can't ctrl+alt+f1, can't do sh*t... gonna have to force shut down on it
[13:38] <martintux1> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m28927c49
[13:38] <OchenZloy> I've DI-524 D-Link router, and only my friend can't connect to me... all other people, can... and i am already the 3rd day searching for the solution, still can't find. so here i am to ask you about this...
[13:39] <Andr00> d-link HAHAHAHA what a joke
[13:39] <nibbler_> OchenZloy: you are all connected to the same router (switch in this case?) and he cant ping you?
[13:39] <RFXCasey> hey what did you mean by /dev/blah
[13:39] <OchenZloy> ping can
[13:39] <OchenZloy> but can't connect
[13:39] <asdffdsa> by /dev/blah I meant, read the entire tutorial
[13:39] <OchenZloy> to any port
[13:39] <nibbler_> OchenZloy: then routing works. wtf is "connecting"
[13:39] <termos> dr_willis: ah thanks found them, ill give it a try
[13:39] <OchenZloy> all tested.. web/vnc/r-admin no.. can't tcp/udb connect at all
[13:40] <nibbler_> OchenZloy: sounds more like a firewall issue then
[13:40] <OchenZloy> but can ping because ping don't use tcp/udp ports
[13:40] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, again, it's --> http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub.html
[13:40] <ikonia> martintux1: "sudo kill -9 5071 5113 5114 14070 14111 14112 14252 14293 14295 15382"
[13:40] <OchenZloy> the firewall don't have his ip blocked
[13:40] <OchenZloy> all checked
[13:40] <asdffdsa> RFXCasey, by the time you finish reading that, I guarantee you will not longer have any questions.
[13:40] <nibbler_> OchenZloy: then use a real OS. but stop searching at your routing
[13:40] <Arodon> ikonia: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/mc8eeade
[13:40] <OchenZloy> i swithed off the firewall in windows
[13:40] <martintux1> ikonia, killed it.. should i restart it?
[13:41] <OchenZloy> and the windows is clear(just after formatting)
[13:41] <ehama> I think I have messed up with the graphics. Now I have 800x600 resolution on my notebook while I can have 1024x768. Any way to make all default? I don't even want 3d acceleration.
[13:41] <ikonia> Arodon I meant the wget command, the exact command
[13:41] <martintux1> forgot to mention it... basically i wanted to reset mysql root password
[13:41] <ikonia> martintux1: do a "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop" it should "fail
[13:41] <Pe3k> hello, does anybody use pyvnc2swf? I can't use it ... when I start tightvncserver and use xtightvncviewer localhost:1 there is not possible to start anything...it is window 1027x768 filled with gray color
[13:41] <purplerain> hello
[13:41] <Arodon> ikonia:  wget http://www.ubuntu.com
[13:42] <Andy_> Hi, I used xubuntu and liked it, its way faster then windows and i love it, but i am not able to play sound on it and after searching for a long time I came to the solution that its not supported on my laptop, so now I want to completely remove xubuntu with its config files and all, I want no back or anything..just like a format..any idea how to do it?
[13:42] <nibbler_> OchenZloy: and the ports are reachable from other hosts? then tcpdump/ngrep/wireshark on both hosts and see what happens
[13:42] <ikonia> Arodon strace wget http//www.ubuntu.com
[13:42] <OchenZloy> i said, that this is windows xp no *nix :)
[13:42] <ikonia> Arodon: with the :
[13:42] <OchenZloy> yes
[13:42] <nibbler_> Andy_: whatever OS you plan installing will you assist on that
[13:42] <OchenZloy> any other can connect to me
[13:42] <OchenZloy> EVERYONE
[13:42] <OchenZloy> except the friend...
[13:42] <FloodBot3> OchenZloy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:42] <nibbler_> OchenZloy: so tcpdump/wireshark it
[13:42] <Andy_> nibbler_: uh..i already have winXP installed
[13:42] <OchenZloy> i didn't found the blacklist  on the router
[13:43] <nibbler_> Andy_: good then
[13:43] <nibbler_> OchenZloy: blacklist on the router?
[13:43] <martintux1> ikonia, thanks
[13:43] <OchenZloy> yes, i though it is...
[13:43] <OchenZloy> because only 1 ip can't connect to me
[13:43] <martintux1> but do u know how to reset mysql root password?
[13:43] <nibbler_> ...
[13:43] <ikonia> martintux1 working ?
[13:43] <Arodon> ikonia: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d15524141
[13:43] <ikonia> martintux1 the guys in #mysql will walk you through that
[13:43] <Quetschke> hi, is there any browser (beside firefox) that is able to use a third-party download-manager and supports separate proxy settings?
[13:43] <Andy_> nibbler_, but i want to remove xubuntu...and if atall i delete the aprtition i am sure the "Select OS" option will stay there forever, any way of UN installing it completely without problems?
[13:44] <martintux1> ikonia, thanks a bunch
[13:44] <ikonia> martintux1 no problem
[13:44] <OchenZloy> nibbler_ i'm confused, i already looked forward any settings, wherever i've added his ip to unblock, but no success, he still can't connect
[13:44] <nibbler_> andy_ ah the XP was there before?
[13:44] <Pe3k> Is needed to do some configuration when I use fluxbox and want to use vnc server ?
[13:44] <Andy_> nibbler_, yeah
[13:45] <nibbler_> andy_: then no way to get rid off grub i assume, maybe with bootfix etc of the xp cd, but thats not an linux issue anymore
[13:45] <Henti> hello :D
[13:45] <zhaozhou> Marry christmas : D
[13:45] <asdffdsa> that worked... thx nibbler.
[13:45] <Gr33n3gg> Its not Ymas, you insensitive clod!
[13:46] <ikonia> Arodon: can you show me if "ps -ef | grep nscd " shows any results ?
[13:46] <Henti> :D thz zhaozhou
[13:46] <Andy_> nibbler_, oh..WHAT!? i mean..like if i format the drives?Like..I mean i make them visble in XP right click and do the format or delete them...xubuntu will be gone right? but the "select OS"option at startup will that also remove xubuntu kernel select thingy?
[13:46] <mamilie> bonjour tout le monde
[13:46] <zhaozhou> :D
[13:46] <asdffdsa> one more question, nibbler... how to blacklist the pre-installed madwifi driver from updating itself and overwrting my custom settings
[13:46] <nibbler_> Andy_: removing the bootloader might end you up not being able to boot your xp
[13:46] <ehama> What should I do to use generic video driver? I'm having 800x600 resolution and want 1024x768. I couldn't install ati drivers for my mobility radeon9000.
[13:47] <Arodon> ikonia: no, it only lists the "grep nscd" process
[13:47] <nibbler_> Andy_: it all depends a lot on your configuration
[13:47] <ikonia> Arodon ok, so thats fine
[13:47] <asdffdsa> ehama : Try a program called "envy"
[13:47] <Andy_> nibbler_, just tell me what will happen if I just delete the partitions from the disk manager?
[13:47] <shahrooz> hi guys
[13:47] <ubuntunube> Hi, I'm having problems with my USB WLAN stick and 8.10.  wfconfig recognises the stick, and I can even ping ip's and DNS through it, but network manager won't recognise it.  Any ideas anybody?
[13:47] <ehama> asdffdsa, I tried. but didn't help. Thats when I got configuration issues and was set back to low resolution.
[13:47] <OchenZloy> any help to me ? or tell me, where shell i ask about router configuration ?
[13:47] <keystr0k> I'm looking for a way to burn a .img dvd backup. any suggestions?
[13:48] <bakarat_> i have webdav working in nautilus and it works great....unless the folder name has a space in it, how can i open a directory that has a space in its name?
[13:48] <nibbler_> Andy_: if this hosts any files needed by grub, maybe even only menu.list it might render your system useless if you dont know how to fix it
[13:48] <shahrooz> if i add a source url to source.list , i can use directly of the packages are in there ?
[13:48] <asdffdsa> ehama : I hear ya... I've got one laptop here with Radeon Xpress that freezes at random (one I'm using now) and is currently unresolved, using ATi driver w/fusion enabled
[13:48] <Andy_> nibble_, what did the first part of yoru sentence mean?
[13:48] <ikonia> Arodon: can you run a test with me please
[13:49] <shahrooz> hello ?
[13:49] <Andy_> nibbler_, XP and xubuntu are completely in different drive and i guess no way connected..
[13:49] <Henti> hello
[13:49] <ehama> asdffdsa, my card is a bit older. so I think I can't use binary drivers. I read the suggestion of using mesa drivers but don't know if it will help.
[13:49] <nibbler_> Andy_: if you are right about no connection, then its save to delete it.
[13:49] <shahrooz> somy body help please !
[13:49] <Arodon> ikonia: yea sure

[13:51] <Andy_> nibbler_, if ..it does show the select OS option..I AM DOOMED right? no way to ensure that it wont show up?
[13:51] <Arodon> ikonia: it prints out the "Server" and "Address" lines with the dns server we specified, then it gives the "Non-authoritative answer" with an address if 72.5.124.61
[13:51] <shahrooz> ubottu: it's really a robot ! any body know my answer ?
[13:51] <ikonia> Arodon: ok, so your router is acting as a dns forwarder and working correctly, needed to establish that

[14:00] <keystr0k> allsystemsarego, I definitely don't have a 'write to disc' option for that file.
[14:00] <OchenZloy> wired
[14:00] <nibbler_> Kartagis: read about pam and /etc/pam.d
[14:00] <Jack_Sparrow> OchenZloy Google port forwarding for your router
[14:00] <allsystemsarego> keystr0k, try installing xfburn
[14:00] <OchenZloy> Jack_Sparrow.... all people can connect to me
[14:00] <OchenZloy> only 1 person cannot
[14:00] <AshTray-> OchenZloy does he selected dhcp on his box ?
[14:00] <Arodon> ikonia: quite. I spent a while in the wiki looking for clues, but found nothing to explain the different behavior between programs (*.ubuntu.com works fine in firefox also) I temporarily added an address for archive.ubuntu.com in /etc/hosts to carry out updates

[14:01] <JulioNeto> morning
[14:01] <keystr0k> fde, yes, thank you .
[14:02] <Vinceman> moza, what's are the differences between lossy and lossless sound recording?
[14:02] <AshTray-> Did you forwared apache corectly ?
[14:02] <Jack_Sparrow> OchenZloy if he can without your router in place and he cant withit in place. you only have one place to look
[14:02] <fde> Vinceman: Exactly as it sounds... lossy loses quality every time you copy it, lossless doesn't.
[14:02] <EADG> AshTray-: I get niether. Your doing it wrong. type   man telnet
[14:02] <keystr0k> fde, .img wasn't recognized as a valid image file type in Brasero... I chose the file anyway. We'll see what happens.
[14:03] <OchenZloy> Jack_Sparrow

[14:03] <Mageiriki-me-bas> i try to install a usb router (Zyxel p 630 s1) but my Ubuntu 8.10 doesnt seem to recognise it. And i can't find any drivers on the net.
[14:03] <AshTray-> OchenZloy did you forwared TCP/UDP port 80 pointing it to you webserver's lan ip ?
[14:04] <EADG> termos: iwlist
[14:04] <Gr33n3gg> Whoops, wrong window.
[14:04] <debaser> hi
[14:04] <Vinceman> fde what's the advantage of lossy then?
[14:04] <fde> Vinceman: lower file sizes
[14:04] <Vinceman> much lower?
[14:05] <epifanio> from here : http://www.mactel-linux.org/wiki/HOWTO#Boot_Ubuntu_from_external_USB_drive_on_MacBook it explain a generic procedure (unluky there arne't detailed information)
[14:05] <epifanio> my situation is : i had until yestarday an internaldrive (160gb) on it i had osx(leopard)+ubuntu(8.10), now changed the internal hard drive using a new 320gb ... and i put the old drive in a usb 2.5 external box
[14:05] <debaser> is there a way to create a ubuntu live cd with the programs one chooses? Something just like the ubuntu live cd (which can be installed) but only with the things you choose...
[14:05] <fde> termos: I can't think of the tools name I'm thinking of... ugh... sorry
[14:05] <OchenZloy> all ports are forwarding correctly
[14:05] <Vinceman> could it be that you here interference when you record lossy?
[14:05] <fde> Vinceman: generally, yes
[14:05] <mwas> ﻿Vinceman: lowering the size some times loses information
[14:06] <Guest23981> How can I boot with only console from an Ubuntu LiveCD?
[14:06] <fde> Vinceman: No, it wouldn't result in interference, it would just be lower quality

[14:08] <Mageiriki-me-bas> can anyone help me to install this on ubuntu 8.10? -> http://www.sybaritic.co.za/store/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=186&products_id=9467
[14:09] <Guest23981> please, I need only console from a liveCD (can't get gnome to work and I'm on a gentoo installation CD that doesn't have ntfs support, and I'm on IRC through ssh and rhapsody, lol)
[14:09] <ardchoille> C0p3rn1c: I have nvidia 6200 graphics card and installing the 93 driver fixed all issues
[14:09] <fde> Vinceman: file extensions do not matter on linux... but it likely designates different formats... 'file whatever' to see what the system thinks
[14:09] <Gr33n3gg> Guest23981: Use Google.
[14:10] <Vinceman> I have recorded a cool osng

[14:19] <RoyK> hi. having upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 on this old laptop, I try to install some packages, but it seems there are broken dependencies around. how can I fix this? See http://pastebin.com/ddc859a3 for more info
[14:20] <tiyowan> EADG: I don't think so. But maybe you could pipe together two commands to get the desired results. :)
[14:20] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK Sounds like you added unsupported repos to your sources.list..
[14:21] <EADG> tiyowan: I'll make an alias _if_ i can figure that out.
[14:21] <tiyowan> EADG: I'll look into it, too.
[14:21] <EADG> tiyowan: Sweet.
[14:22] <Am3ndment> Hello, i have problems with games. Earlier i was on 7.10, and every game worked just fine. Now im on 8.10 and i cant play anything because i have something like 1 frame / sec.
[14:22] <Am3ndment> I have intel 945GM :/
[14:22] <Mallen> Anyone no of a good File encryption (word files, pics,) for ubuntu
[14:23] <erUSUL> !gpg | Mallen
[14:23] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: Well, I would still check the drivers....
[14:23] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.ca/1293002
[14:23] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment:  what driver are you loading in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[14:24] <Mallen> Thank You!
[14:25] <Am3ndment> Zzeiss: xorg.conf says that i have no driver installed
[14:25] <Am3ndment> yet i just installed i810
[14:25] <tiyowan> EADG: Hmm...difficult problem this.
[14:26] <EADG> tiyowan: Aye. it is.
[14:26] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: OK, look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log.  See what driver you've got.  My bet is you have the VESA driver loaded, not "intel".
[14:26] <tiyowan> EADG: Just out of curiosity. Why do you want it that way? As in what data do you want to view?
[14:27] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: The older Ubuntus let you pick the driver; 8.10 does not seem to.  What you want is probably the "intel" driver.  That's what I used to play Portal.  :)
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK Looks like some serious editing has gone on in there.  If you compile something yourself and add sources and install things it can often trash your dependencies... Which is what it seems to have done with your system
[14:28] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: But I did note that if I didn't load the intel driver, I got nowhere.
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK you can sudo apt-get update but I doubt it will fix things
[14:28] <EADG> tiyowan: Superfilus & extenoius data I wish to filter out from my constant ls -l 's.
[14:29] <tiyowan> EADG: ls -a?

[14:29] <sisif> Hello guys. Can somebody please give a hand with setting up a Intel Wireless Pro 4965 AGN [Kedron] card. For some strange reason , I just can`t get it to work. I`ve read just about everything related to it from ubuntuforums.org. I`m using 8.10 with the latest updates. Thanks
[14:30] <Am3ndment> Zzeiss: hmh... cant find it.
[14:30] <keystr0k> fde, Thanks, the wodim --data xyz.img command worked to burn my .img file.
[14:30] <Am3ndment> How to fix?
[14:30] <Zzeiss> Can't find the log?
[14:30] <Am3ndment> i mean i cant find what driver it loads
[14:30] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: OK, can you pastebin the /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[14:31] <EADG> ti I like permissions, owner group & size. Just don't want date on the list.

[14:34] <tiyowan> Am3ndment: Checking...yep, xorg won't configure it properly. Hang on.

[14:34] <Mageiriki-me-bas> hi.
[14:34] <RoyK> 8.04
[14:34] <kdogg> Ok guys , i back with a new version of an old problem :) Last night I install ubuntu Intrepid on an hp a1010n, after rebooting and logging in, the screen went blank and the mouse was still there and moving but no other signs of life. (NumLock), SO today I tried to put the livecd in, (the one I used before to install), and it did the same thing. Windows seems to work fine though.. (rarely the case)
[14:34] <debaser> is there a way to create a ubuntu live cd with the programs one chooses? Something just like the ubuntu live cd (which can be installed) but only with the things you choose...
[14:35] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: Nope, you have the "intel" driver loaded.  (see line 127 of your pastebin).  So... that's not it.  Hmmm.
[14:35] <joejc> zzeiss: 0.0, whats that mean?
[14:35] <joaopinto> !remaster
[14:35] <Jeruvy> debaser: see the alternate cd
[14:35] <kdogg> debaser, yes reconstructor but it is young
[14:35] <Mageiriki-me-bas> there's a problem here. I type "sudo ./scanmodem" in my terminal (in Ubuntu 8.10) and it asks for a password but I CANNOT WRITE ANY PASSWORDS.
[14:35] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: try glxgears.  See what the frame rate is.
[14:35] <RoyK> arimakun: #ubuntu-es
[14:35] <kdogg> oh
[14:35] <Vinceman> lossy vs. lossles is a 1:10 factor difference in file size!!!
[14:35] <debaser> kdogg: thx
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK upgrading is when those things you added from outside supported repos will cause issues..  We dont have help for that situation
[14:35] <RoyK> Mageiriki-me-bas: 8.04 - any ideas how to fix it? I really on't want to reinstall from scratch
[14:35] <Pici> Mageiriki-me-bas: Why can't you write the password?
[14:36] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment, joejc: you have to let "glxgears: run for a while.  Ten or fifteen seconds at least.  Then it reports back a frame rate.
[14:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Mageiriki-me-bas you type but it does not show.. that is normal
[14:36] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: what is external repos in those?
[14:36] <miik> those assholes at Novell decided to put an EULA on openSUSE, i hope not Ubuntu does same
[14:36] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: s/is/are/
[14:36] <Mageiriki-me-bas> Jack, is it?

[14:36] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: OK, 222 is pretty darn soggy.
[14:37] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK just resetting your repo list and updating will not fix what was done earlier manually
[14:37] <Fenix|work> How does one exclude socket files from the 'tar' command?
[14:37] <miik> sry
[14:37] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: nope. this laptop was installed a year ago, and has been used by my mom. she doesn't know how to do that sort of thing
[14:37] <miik> ubuntu should adopt the DFSG
[14:37] <Zzeiss> Am3ndment: I get 250-275 frames/second with pure software rendering.  So, something is still quite wrong....
[14:37] <cdavis> how do I make sure dovecot starts at system boot?
[14:37] <guja_nebeska> Can someone tell me which is deb http:// for wxWidgets repo on Ubuntu 8.10? Thank You!

[14:38] <Mageiriki-me-bas> oh! i see.. thanks!
[14:38] <joaopinto> miik, could you please stop here ? Do you have a support question ?
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK pastebin the full output of errors, but something is up...
[14:38] <rutski_> Is it possible to get the uncompiled sources to the files in /usr/share/terminfo?
[14:38] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: I just did
[14:38] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: first time I posted that
[14:38] <Zzeiss> If I recall correctly, the general rule is that software rendering will give you 500 or less on glxgears, and hardware will give you 2000 or more.
[14:38] <Slart> miik: I think there are a lot of flash users that don't quite agree with you.. but it's !ot for this channel
[14:39] <Zzeiss> joejc: Hmmm...you definitely don't have things set up right.  Way not right.
[14:39] <joaopinto> rutski_, I guess those are included on the source of the ncurses-base package
[14:39] <Fenix|work> guja_nebeska, Google says... apt.wxwidgets.com..... go here: http://www.google.ca/search?q=deb+repo+wxwidgets

[14:42] <epifanio> guys, have you any clue on how to boot my old os (ubuntu-8.10) installed on a external usb drive? googling give me : http://www.mactel-linux.org/wiki/HOWTO#Boot_Ubuntu_from_external_USB_drive_on_MacBook .  i already have on the internal drive : leopard+refit  on the external-drive(the old internal) leopard+ubuntu+refit ... so can i switch to step 5 directly ?
[14:42] <Amendment> So, what can i do?
[14:42] <guja_nebeska> Fenix|work, I know that. :o) But problem was this: this search u gave me says also this: deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ DIST-wx main, so add that to repo. I change DIST with intrepid, and when I do sudo apt-get update, it says it can't get tar.gz from that http.
[14:42] <EADG> Fenix|work: I got mine to make cinninon toast :)
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> RoyK looks more like power saving/stepping  not sure what al that broken file covers
[14:42] <sisif> Jeruvy: i put the firmware to /lib/firmware, then I install compat-wireless. I can see my wifi card in ifconfig an iwconfig, but iwlist scanning don`t get me any AP (and i have one just at my feet).
[14:42] <Zzeiss> joejc: hmmm... yeah.  That would happen if you don't have a hw graphics card.  For some (annoying and not justified IMHO opinion) it seems that compiz is not willing to use software rendering, and goes _outside_ of the standard OpenGL libraries to do it's magic.
[14:43] <papa_> Fenix|work: is the graphic card... i can't change the resolution and refresh rate...
[14:43] <Jeruvy> epifanio: I know there were bugs logged when 8.10 was released but I do not know there status.  Try searching on launchpad.net
[14:43] <joejc> hw?
[14:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptfix > RoyK
[14:43] <Zzeiss> joejc: yes, I've asked the compiz people to fix this, for those of us who do not have a supported graphics card.  Like me.  :(
[14:43] <Fenix|work> guja_nebeska, I believe in *BIG RED* letters on that page it says to <quote>Replace the "DIST" text with whatever is appropriate for your system. (See the table below for a list of supported distributions and architectures.)</quote>
[14:43] <RoyK> Jack_Sparrow: I've tried that

[14:51] <sisif> Jeruvy: But for other users the card seem to work. So I guess this is a software related problem
[14:52] <Kartagis> nibbler_, what file do I have to edit?
[14:52] <Zzeiss> joejc: no idea.
[14:53] <robwilkerson> so...easy question that i've just never had reason to ask...
[14:53] <robwilkerson> how can i see how much memory is in my machine?
[14:53] <robwilkerson> i just upgraded and want to be sure ubuntu is picking it up properly.
[14:53] <Fenix|work> guja_nebeska, you're welcome
[14:54] <nibbler_> Kartagis: no idea. but this is the authentication system, called pam. read a bit about it and tell me which file you had to edit
[14:54] <joejc> i use sysinfo to see thins like that
[14:54] <Zzeiss> robwilkerson: do a sysinfo.  Or cat /proc/meminfo
[14:55] <Agent_Ubuntu> Hi, what is the #ubuntu CoC?
[14:55] <ikonia> !coc > aro
[14:55] <ikonia> !coc > Agent_Ubuntu
[14:55] <n8tuser> robwilkerson ->  a much more indepth one is   sudo  dmidecode
[14:55] <Agent_Ubuntu> ok, thaok, thanks
[14:55] <aro> huh?
[14:56] <Melanchol> Zzeiss: do you have any ideas?
[14:56] <ikonia> aro: sorry, typo
[14:56] <robwilkerson> Zzeiss, n8tuser: thanks, guys. sysinfo is perfect.
[14:57] <joejc> how important is swap?
[14:57] <xnv> Is there something good for a simple reminders on the desktop?
[14:57] <Agent_Ubuntu> ok, thanks
[14:58] <Tetracomm> What is the environment variable for the selected file in Nautilus?
[14:58] <Zzeiss> Melanchol: with respect to what?  (sorry, got distracted)
[14:58] <adrian0071> !coc
[14:59] <Melanchol> Zzeiss, that intel driver and games :)
[14:59] <sisif> Jeruvy: Any suggestions on what to do next ?
[14:59] <captainm> joejc: you'll need swap to suspend, and you'll run into problems if you run out of ram
[14:59] <fde> xnv: In Gnome, it should tell you about events from you calendar automatically via Evolution Alarm Clock... In KDE, there is also KOrganizer that will do something similar
[15:00] <oma-opa> hi im using f-spot 0.4.3.1 on hardy to import movies and pictures from my camera, but f-spot sorts them by the day they have been taken, into a folder I can choose, what can I do to import all these files to a place without sorting?
[15:00] <Zzeiss> Melanchol: beyond installing it manually, and adding a line like     Driver "intel"     into the xorg.conf file device section, no.
[15:00] <Melanchol> Ok, thanks :)
[15:00] <captainm> joejc: but I don't have use swap with my eeepc and it works fine
[15:01] <rutski_> `man terminfo` uses a lot of escape sequences with the character '[', such as '\E[H\E[2J', I know the '\E' are ESC keys, but what are '[H' and '[2J'?
[15:01] <xnv> fde: Is the Alarm Clock independent of the e-mail client? I don't want to use that e-mail client.
[15:01] <joejc> captanm: would swap make my computer faster if i already have 2gb of ram?
[15:02] <fde> xnv: no its not
[15:02] <xnv> fde: Then it doesn't quite fit my needs.
[15:02] <bullgard4> There is a file /etc/mailcap. What does 'cap' stand for in it?
[15:02] <fde> xnv: I think something like tasque has notifications of events though, perhaps try that?
[15:03] <captainm> joejc: no, it wont make your computer faster, if you have the diskspace I'd use a swap partition.
[15:03] <rjune__> banshee?
[15:03] <loca|host> by default, ubuntu attach a BASH process to my /dev/ttyS0 (serial device), i need to change this behaviour and attach my own application to that device so when i connect via serial port, i get the output of my app and not a BASH session
[15:03] <fde> !who > rjune__
[15:03] <sheep> bullgard4: according to man mailcap, it's the metaMAIL CAPabilities file
[15:03] <rjune__> *sigh*, wrong channel
[15:03] <tato> hello i have a big problem... the sudo command don't ask me the password to execute command.. any idea???
[15:04] <joejc> captainm:  how big should swap be?
[15:04] <rjune__> thanks though fde
[15:04] <sisif> Anyone here know how to set up an Intel Pro 4965 wifi card on Ubuntu 8.10 ? Or maybe point me to a howto ?
[15:04] <Jack_Sparrow> tato Does it still do the command> or error out
[15:04] <bullgard4> sheep: Ah! --  Thank you very much for explaining. (I should have read the manpage. But I did not know that there exists one.)
[15:05] <fde> tato: Someone probably set it to ALL = NOPASSWD ALL in /etc/sudoers ... try 'sudo visudo' to look

[15:05] <Agent_Ubuntu> I can't send anythink with bluettoth with 8.10
[15:05] <captainm> joejc: a rule of thumb is twice your ram. You'll need atleast the same as your ram if you want to use suspend to disk.
[15:07] <andril>  i need to change my video card from gforce 5200 to gforce 7600
[15:07] <andril> is this hard?\

[15:12] <c0de_sm1th_> How many troubles i'm buying with radeon 4850? Are drivers ok? Any need to flash bios?

[15:12] <tato> nobody can help me?????
[15:13] <Kavan> tato: what's the problem?
[15:13] <BCM43> joejc: I figured it out. Your computer does have 3gb of ram. not sure where you got 2gb from. http://www.retrevo.com/s/HP-M8100n-Desktops-review-manual/id/11225bh231/t/1-2/

[15:31] <bazhang> crow_, its not needed
[15:31] <crow_> bazhang, isn't that same as running as root all the time?
[15:31] <bazhang> crow_, no. sudo has a time limit
[15:31] <Jack_Sparrow> crow_ no it is not
[15:31] <crow_> ok
[15:31] <crow_> thanks btw

[15:36] <tiyowan> BCM43: Odd. I always had to install PDF creator over there. Thanks for the info.
[15:36] <crow_> www.ubuntuguide.org crashes Xorg when visited with firefox on gentoo. I'm not sure about other *nixes, but with gentoo/firefox it crashes X.
[15:37] <bazhang> crow_, ask in #gentoo
[15:37] <joaopinto> crow_, that is not a webmaster issue, it's an applicaton issue
[15:38] <crow_> bazhang, I already discussed on #gentoo about that, and more ppl checked it, and it crashes the X. I just need a way to contact the webmaster
[15:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > crow_
[15:38] <crow_> ok
[15:38] <bazhang> crow_, it has nothing to do with ubuntu support
[15:38] <joaopinto> crow_, such bug did exist on ubuntu on a previous version, it was with xorg, and it was fixed
[15:39] <Minty1> hai haiz
[15:39] <Minty1> my Awn manager is artefacting
[15:39] <crow_> joaopinto, thanks. so it's a gentoo bug, or firefox?
[15:40] <joaopinto> crow_, most likely a xorg bug, for the gentoo version, that is why you should report the problem to gentoo, not here ;)
[15:40] <Steve132> I put a dvd in the drive on a new ubuntu 8.10 install
[15:40] <crow_> ok thanks.
[15:40] <Steve132> and totem came up, it searched for codecs, and I verified to install the restricted gstreamer codecs
[15:40] <Steve132> however, when the dvd menu came up
[15:41] <Steve132> I could not click on any of the buttons
[15:41] <Thornley> Steve132, what exactly are you trying to do?
[15:41] <Steve132> play a dvd
[15:41] <Roritharr> erm, where can i find the wireless networks in intrepid?
[15:42] <tiyowan> Roritharr: Top right. Network manager.
[15:42] <Roritharr> it just gives me the option to add another wireless network, but not to browse the ones
[15:42] <Thornley> Steve132, try using mplayer (it's better)
[15:42] <Steve132> I'm installing this for my dad, who is a total technoloy newb
[15:42] <Steve132> if the
[15:42] <Steve132> "play this dvd" pops up and offers to start totem when he clicks on it
[15:43] <Roritharr> tiyown, it just gives me the options "add new wirelessnetwork"  and "connect to a hidden wireless network"
[15:43] <Steve132> totem should do it
[15:43] <Roritharr> isn't there a browser?
[15:43] <bazhang> !dvd > Steve132
[15:43] <Steve132> thats the user experience I want
[15:43] <Roritharr> the button "Wirelessnetworks" above it is grey
[15:43] <Minty1> anyone know why my Awn manager is glitching and showing weird artifacting thingies?
[15:43] <n8tuser> Roritharr -> try  sudo network-manager
[15:43] <Steve132> bzhang, yeah, I've read of all of that
[15:44] <bazhang> Steve132, and you visited medibuntu?
[15:44] <c0de_sm1th_> is radeon 4850 working under ubuntu correctly? Are drivers ok? how many troubles will i buy with it?
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Minty1 Are you running the real ubuntu or a minty one
[15:44] <Steve132> yes
[15:44] <Minty1> mint
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> !mint
[15:44] <Thornley> c0de_sm1th_,  more than you wish. Buy a nVidia card.
[15:44] <Minty1> im running mind captain
[15:44] <bazhang> Steve132, and you installed the necessary packages?
[15:44] <Roritharr> n8tuser: command not found
[15:44] <Minty1> mint*
[15:44] <bazhang> Minty1, its not supported here
[15:44] <Steve132> I believe so, yes...as described in the medibuntu guides
[15:44] <n8tuser> Roritharr -> try  sudo network-admin
[15:44] <bazhang> Steve132, which package or packages
[15:44] <Minty1> thanks anyway Cap'n
[15:45] <Roritharr> n8tuser: command not found
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Minty1 And as the link says, we dont support mint or other peoples versions of ubuntu
[15:45] <n8tuser> Roritharr -> try  sudo NetworkManager
[15:45] <c0de_sm1th_> Thornley: thanks.
[15:45] <Minty1> you guys are just jealous of the distribution im using <.<
[15:46] <joaopinto> !ot | Minty1
[15:46] <Roritharr> intresting, this command does nothing
[15:46] <bazhang> Minty1, you are welcome to discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:46] <bazhang> whoops
[15:46] <Steve132> bazhang: w32codecs, libdvdcss2, and, uh, what else,I snagged the dvd navigation ones as well
[15:46] <amanulla> h
[15:46] <amanulla> hi
[15:46] <bazhang> Steve132, and what other apps have you tried to play it
[15:46] <Roritharr> doesn't react to it n8tuser
[15:47] <amanulla> how can i remove temporary files in ubuntu while copying data to my usb my pc gonna very slow
[15:47] <on5sl> somebody an idea why compiz won't work on a geforche 2 with the estricted drivers installed? this is the output of compiz --replace => http://pastebin.com/d474f4fcf
[15:47] <amanulla> like %temp% in xp
[15:47] <n8tuser> Roritharr -> type   network  and press tab twice and select from those on the list
[15:47] <Steve132> bazhang:  its not a problem with dvd playback
[15:47] <joaopinto> amanulla, temporary files should not affect the transfer speed to your usb device
[15:47] <Steve132> I'm pretty sure I can play dvd's fine
[15:47] <bazhang> Steve132, then you have it solved?
[15:47] <Steve132> its that the dvd menu buttons don't work
[15:48] <Steve132> under totem-gstreamer
[15:48] <hyougin> Is there anyway to completely reinstall gnome-settings-daemon from terminal? I seem to have completely messed something up and now i cant even boot properly into ubuntu, right now im in the failsafe terminal session...
[15:48] <Roritharr> n8tuser, just gives of onboard beep
[15:48] <amanulla> if so is there wont be any temp files to be removed
[15:48] <amanulla> like %temp% in xp
[15:48] <Roritharr> there are only some with net
[15:48] <joaopinto> amanulla, /tmp is clean at each boot
[15:48] <Roritharr> net netcat netscsid netstat netbook-launcher netkit-ftp net-snmp-config
[15:49] <amanulla> ok now can i clean it
[15:49] <Steve132> bazhang: I know that totemgstreamer, in the past, did not HAVE dvd support
[15:49] <joaopinto> there are cache directories, if you need space you can clear those, but again, that will not affect your usb transfer speed in any way
[15:49] <Steve132> for dvd menus
[15:49] <mluser-work> anyone know what the status is on sun's 64 bit java-plugin for firefox on hardy?
[15:49] <Steve132> so, if I switch over to xine, thats fine, but I want that to be the "default" totem in that case
[15:49] <n8tuser> Roritharr -> i dont use gui much, so forgive me if i cant remember their names
[15:50] <Roritharr> hey, you try to help, thats more than i can hope for :)
[15:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !java64
[15:50] <n8tuser> Roritharr -> you can paste your /etc/network/interfaces ;  ifconfig;  iwconfig;  route -n   results
[15:51] <csst0111> hello...where is my trash folder? :s
[15:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !trash
[15:51] <hyougin> do i have to completely reinstall ubuntu? -_-
[15:52] <Steve132> so, my second question then is, is there a way for one to specifiy that, when a dvid is inserted, the appropriate media program asks to play it?
[15:52] <Steve132> such as totem-xine instead of totem?
[15:52] <lolsux> hello
[15:52] <Jack_Sparrow> hyougin there is a way to reset gnome settings
[15:52] <ikonia> !trash > csst0111
[15:53] <hyougin> how?
[15:53] <marsje> Hi. If you want to install Ubuntu from the live cd on a Vista system, can the Ubuntu installer do the partitioning for you? Especially shrinking the existing Vista partition?
[15:53] <sheep> hyougin: try sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-settings-daemon
[15:53] <Steve132> marsje: yes?
[15:53] <bysken> lol
[15:53] <Steve132> did you try it and it fails?
[15:53] <joaopinto> marsje, yes, but the installer does not run from "Vista," it runs from the live cd :P
[15:54] <hyougin> k ill try that.. hope it works ;/
[15:54] <chazco> Does anyone know how to make settings made in nvidia-settings (enabling tv-out via composite) remain after reboot?
[15:54] <Jack_Sparrow> hyougin there is a way to reset gnome settings  To Reset All of Gnome: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/       In terminal type:         rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[15:54] <marsje> Steve132: I'm atthe point recommending a newbiee te install it on her Vista machine
[15:54] <marsje> Steve132: I don't want her to wipe out all of her stuff
[15:55] <marsje> joaopinto: I understand that :)
[15:55] <n8tuser> marsje -> may i suggest when you boot in the livecd, do a two step process,  resize ntfs first, then reboot again to make sure vista is still okay, then next boot to livecd, you can install
[15:55] <joaopinto> marsje, if it's a newbie, do not forget to recommend to backup the data
[15:55] <on5sl> somebody an idea why compiz won't work on a geforche 2 with the estricted drivers installed? this is the output of compiz --replace => http://pastebin.com/d474f4fcf
[15:55] <erz3364> marsje: she should make a backup of important data before
[15:55] <marsje> joaopinto: good idea
[15:56] <chazco> Also, anyone know how to enable lirc for a nova-t usb device? /dev/input/event* doesnt seem to work in 8.10
[15:56] <marsje> n8tuser: so it's technically possible to have the installer shrink a partition?
[15:56] <joaopinto> marsje, and make sure he/she does not select "use the entire disk"
[15:56] <rehpmag> sudo apt-get update
[15:56] <rehpmag> whoops
[15:56] <Jack_Sparrow> marsje No matter what os she has, she needs a backu of anything she cant afford to lose.  If you are looking for someone to guarantee that shrinking a partition will work.. It wont happen.
[15:56] <dr_willis> Hmm.. anyone have vlc installed? If so RUn it and see if the icon for the program has a little Xmas hat for you also? :)
[15:56] <rehpmag> lo siento :P
[15:56] <n8tuser> marsje -> it is not the installer, you have to run gparted first to resize it, and then reboot again..just to be safe
[15:56] <joaopinto> marsje, yes, the installer allows to shink an ntfs part
[15:56] <bazhang> dr_willis, yep
[15:56] <dr_willis> bazhang,  :) easter eggs.. heh heh
[15:56] <joaopinto> hum, doesn't the installer allow to resize ?
[15:56] <erz3364> marsje: yes, but the ntfs filesystem has to be "clean"
[15:57] <marsje> Jack_Sparrow: got it...
[15:57] <n8tuser> joaopinto -> its big risk, i would not do it again
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> marsje At the very least, defrag the windows partition.. twice
[15:57] <marsje> Jack_Sparrow: ok, we're going to try then
[15:58] <hahahhah> hello
[15:58] <Hugh> are the uk repositories down, or is it just my server?
[15:58] <hahahhah> what's up baby
[15:58] <joaopinto> n8tuser, backing up the data is always recommended, using the installer resizing is just as safer as using gparted, they use the same library to perform such operations...
[15:58] <n8tuser> joaopinto -> i learned to do things a step at a time when resizing and reformatting ntfs stuff, i've lost some beforehand

[16:00] <fresh_install> Marry Christmas
[16:00] <Numbers> Hi guys. I enabled proposed packages in synaptic and now i'm running 2.6.27-11-generic which seems to be crashing for me. How can I remove the proposed kernels and get back to 2.6.27-9-generic?
[16:01] <joaopinto> Numbers, the old kernel should still be available from the boot menu
[16:01] <joaopinto> Numbers, and you should file a bug report about it, that's the purpose of -proposed
[16:01] <fresh_install> Hi, guys, I've just had ubuntu installed on my satellite 5200
[16:01] <zdog291> when I boot xubuntu I get the folowing error pci device has unknown header type 08, ignoring
[16:02] <Numbers> joaopinto, yep.. the old ones are still there but I want to remove them and go back to a stable kernel without having anything that's proposed. I'll file a bug for it, but is there a way I can go back permanently?
[16:02] <fresh_install> my problem is the graphic driver doesn't support
[16:02] <joaopinto> Numbers, you can disable the -proposed repository, boot form the old kernel, and then just remove the new version packages using the package manager
[16:03] <bluntz> Need help with xorg.conf plz
[16:03] <Numbers> joaopinto, excellent.. do I need to do anything with linux-generic like force version?
[16:03] <Red_Tide> noob hardware question why do we have video cards
[16:03] <rehpmag> Red_Tide: to display video
[16:04] <joaopinto> Numbers, no, you just need to disabled -proposed, and remove the newer kernel packages
[16:04] <Numbers> joaopinto, excellent. thanks
[16:04] <Red_Tide> do very old computers have them too?
[16:04] <n8tuser> Red_Tide -> massive big ones

[16:08] <Roritharr> erm, the network diag tool should be able to tell me the mac address of my wireless lan card without it needing to be connected somewhere, does it?
[16:08] <ardchoille> When I run the Report A Problem app, it results in a message: "This problem report is damaged and cannot be processed". Is this a known issue? Is this supposed to be a gui app?
[16:08] <occy> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, I checked out the factoid on that.  owondering what I need the USBstick or Persistent
[16:08] <occy> Jack_Sparrow: I want to install from USB to hard drive
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> occy persistent, means you run livecd and changes go to the stick.. not what you wanted
[16:09] <occy> Jack_Sparrow: thanks mate.

[16:12] <Roritharr> erm, the network diag tool should be able to tell me the mac address of my wireless lan card without it needing to be connected somewhere, does it?
[16:12] <sheep> Roritharr: I think so
[16:12] <bluntz> sheep: ?
[16:12] <tiyowan> Roritharr: Yes. The MAC address is hard-coded into your card.
[16:13] <Roritharr> so if it doesn't there is something wrong with the driver?
[16:13] <joaopinto> RoflCopter, ifconfig -a, should also display it
[16:13] <tiyowan> Roritharr: ifconfig should provide you with your mac address, among other details.
[16:13] <sheep> bluntz: I'm not sure what to do in this case, but the information that ubottu gave about hardware might be useful and the details you provided can help others help you solve your prolem

[16:14] <Roritharr> would 00:22:69:35:88:59 be a regular mac address?
[16:14] <sheep> rCX: have you tried alt-tab?
[16:14] <solmakou> rCX by hitting alt+tab :|

[16:15] <blueskiesokie> hello all

[16:15] <rCX> hehe... This is my first time in linux ;)
[16:15] <Roritharr> sudo iwlst wlan0 scan should give me all available wlan networks in my area, or am i wrong?

[16:15] <tiyowan> rCX: Welcome to freedom. :)
[16:15] <saler> any work with oracle
[16:16] <sheep> bluntz: a pastebin of your xorg.conf would definitely be useful
[16:16] <sheep> Roritharr: I think that's just ones that are broadcasting their SSID and aren't hidden

[16:16] <grobda24> Is there an alternative to the keyboard mouse ? I find it clunky and difficult to use.
[16:17] <tiyowan> bluntz: What seems to be the problem you're having? I missed it. Perhaps I could be of assistance.
[16:17] <Hugh> when I do sudo apt-get update, all the servers give a 101 server not found
[16:17] <Zzeiss> I've been wondering myself... what keys _are_ the "keyboard mouse"?
[16:17] <occy> Jack_Sparrow: sorry to bug you again, but is 8.10_Live considered the default Ubuntu cd?
[16:18] <tiyowan> Hugh: System -> Admin. -> Software Sources, try changing to a different server.
[16:18] <Hugh> on ubuntu server
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> occy yes.

[16:20] <solmakou> tiyowan yes the onboard soundcard is driving me bonkers
[16:20] <tiyowan> solmakou: You should be able to do that from BIOS.
[16:20] <solmakou> it can not be disabled in the bios
[16:21] <tiyowan> solmakou: Really? How old is your BIOS?
[16:21] <nobu> #manaus
[16:22] <Jack_Sparrow> solmakou I have never seen one that could not be disabled by some means
[16:22] <solmakou> Jack_Sparrow / tiyowan yeah I'm looking further into it now
[16:22] <solmakou> I haven't seen it, it might be a jumper setting
[16:22] <Jack_Sparrow> solmakou what mb?
[16:22] <tiyowan> solmakou: Good point about the jumper setting. What mobo have you got?
[16:23] <solmakou> tpower i45 biostar
[16:23] <solmakou> sorry surfing sites for bios info

[16:25] <nobu> #ubuntu-br
[16:25] <tiyowan> solmakou: Interesting, I haven't worked with one of those before though. You can snag the manual off the link I gave you. Should point you to the relevant jumper setting.

[16:26] <zdog291> yes
[16:26] <solmakou> it's actually in the bios it appears, just listed as "HDA controller" which I wrongly assumed was a hard drive controller
[16:26] <solmakou> chaulk it up to sol stupidity :|
[16:27] <tiyowan> zdog291: Does this card work in windows?
[16:27] <solmakou> thank you for your help
[16:27] <zdog291> it worked in 98 which is the last version I had on that computer

[16:30] <zdog291> well only recovery mode \
[16:30] <bluntz> hardy has been a nightmare to get video capture working
[16:30] <tiyowan> solmakou: I'm running a X1400 ATI Mobility. The flickering problem still hasn't been fixed with the latest release of the ATI drivers. The compiz guys blame ATI, and vice versa.
[16:31] <bluntz> wish I knew who was a good display man
[16:31] <solmakou> roger that tiyowan
[16:31] <tiyowan> zdog291: I'm out of suggestions. Perhaps someone else on here could provide you with more guidance. I'd recommend you search on google with your model plus the error mg.

[16:46] <U236Willy> I just loaded the faq... looked up my pcmcia card and it states it works right out of the box. which it did--once, right after the fresh install of 8.10 and i went to apt-get update/upgrade to get all the recent packages.  now i can't seem to get it to work again. any ideas?
[16:46] <Seveas> mkeith, yes. What I meant is that configuring in xorg.conf is rarely needed
[16:47] <tiyowan> U236Willy: What error msgs do you get when you try the commands?
[16:47] <mkeith> Seveas so what you are saying I should be able to use it out of the box on install?
[16:47] <U236Willy> i don't get error messages
[16:47] <CallumEEEPC> Oh really?
[16:48] <CallumEEEPC> Hello!
[16:48] <U236Willy> but i notice it comes up twice when i use iwconfig

[16:48] <tiyowan> U236Willy: Oh. Don't worry about that. That is normal.
[16:48] <Svartalf> Yeah...  It should just work fine.
[16:48] <U236Willy> iwlist wlan0 scan sees the network.. but it never connects anymore
[16:49] <tiyowan> !eee
[16:49] <bazhang> CallumEEEPC, yes it works
[16:49] <Svartalf> I've a 701 4Gb model I've just migrated to eeebuntu 8.10 in the last couple of days and it seems to work fine.
[16:49] <CallumEEEPC> orlly?
[16:49] <CallumEEEPC> ::D
[16:49] <Svartalf> Yes...
[16:49] <CallumEEEPC> omg ty much
[16:49] <CallumEEEPC> so i should get ubuntu asap
[16:49] <tiyowan> U236Willy: Well. Could you pastebin your ifconfig?
[16:50] <U236Willy> what? ifconfig -a?
[16:50] <Svartalf> I would say so CallumEEEPC.
[16:50] <tiyowan> U236Willy: Yes, please.
[16:50] <CallumEEEPC> So if I do get Ubuntu it will work? :)
[16:50] <CallumEEEPC> I need WIFI it is a must. :P
[16:50] <U236Willy> hmmm
[16:50] <Svartalf> I had to go to something like that, the stock config from Asus won't work with my AP (doesn't grok spaces in the PSK...)
[16:50] <tiyowan> !eee > CallumEEEPC
[16:50] <CallumEEEPC> Merry Xmas to all!
[16:52] <tiyowan> CallumEEEPC: If you're very worried about your setup working correctly, then take some time to search on the ubuntu forums with the model of your machine. It will provide you with some reassurance and a list of the possible problems you might have to deal with. Preparation is key. And don't rush anything.
[16:52] <solmakou> it appears that Totem does not support 5.1 surround sound, is there a way of duplicating the channels *only for totem* or does anyone know of another workaround?
[16:52] <bullgard4> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode: "This mode just loads some basic services and drops you into command line mode." Welche 'basic services' lädt er und welche nicht?
[16:52] <U236Willy> that would be hard as this machine is windows based and i can't get the ubuntu laptop to connect to the wireless network.

[16:53] <minus18_pundit> can anyone help me with my sis 771/671 display driver? i could not get it to work
[16:53] <sinbox> how would I go about instqalling xmms (not xmms2) on 8.04, will I need to build or?...
[16:53] <lyrae> Howcome some text editors have a vertical grey line across the text area?
[16:53] <tiyowan> U236Willy: Hmm. Can you connect to other wireless networks?
[16:53] <Halitech> U236Willy, run it this way then ifconfig -a > ifconfig.txt then copy that file in your home folder to a thumbdrive and copy it to your windows computer
[16:53] <U236Willy> that's an idea
[16:53] <tiyowan> sinbox: xmms is dead, I think.
[16:53] <CallumEEEPC> wow
[16:53] <Pici> sinbox: xmms is no longer being supported upstream so it is no longer in the repositories.  You'd need to build from source if you really want it.
[16:53] <CallumEEEPC> that looks hard
[16:54] <CallumEEEPC> and confuising
[16:54] <CallumEEEPC> Ill stick to the Linux i dont like code.
[16:54] <CallumEEEPC> LOL
[16:54] <sinbox> I now it's dead but I still have it on my old 7.10 box, maybe just dig the deb file and use that
[16:54] <Roritharr> mhum
[16:54] <Roritharr> i tried installing the madwifi driber
[16:54] <U236Willy> thanks Halitech.. doh.. good thinking.. i should've thought of that :3
[16:54] <tiyowan> sinbox | Pici
[16:54] <Roritharr> after make install
[16:54] <sinbox> or I'll go find the source, thanks Pici and tiyowan
[16:54] <Roritharr> it tdoesnt appear under Hardware-Driver
[16:55] <Roritharr> reboot doesn't change anything either

[16:58] <mini-man> because there are no *.so's afaics in /etc/apache2/*/
[16:58] <tiyowan> minus18_pundit: What seems to be problem you're having visually?
[16:59] <bazhang> CallumEEEPC, did you have an ubuntu support question?
[16:59] <CallumEEEPC> yes
[17:00] <bullgard4> tiyowan: I will try that.
[17:00] <CallumEEEPC> It is ok, Thanks Svartalf is helping me "Noob"
[17:00] <Svartalf> He was wanting to know if the WiFi on the eeePC (an atheros chip...) worked with 8.10.  You have to do some manual work with the distribution after install, or grab eeebuntu regular or netbook remix.
[17:00] <CallumEEEPC> I am a Noob.
[17:00] <Jack_Sparrow> CallumEEEPC there is a different release for eeepc's
[17:00] <minus18_pundit> tiyowan: i have vesa working fine. but that's 2d only. i can't compiz fusiion or any other desktop effects.
[17:01] <bazhang> CallumEEEPC, right, and it was answered, correct? do you have ubuntu on the eeepc or just want to chat about it?
[17:01] <jtaji> bullgard4: I think "loads basic services" is misleading, recovery mode is what is also referred to as single user mode aka run level 1, basically no services are loaded
[17:01] <bazhang> CallumEEEPC, if it is the latter then please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks.
[17:01] <adrian0071> ls
[17:01] <CallumEEEPC> Ummm.
[17:01] <CallumEEEPC> No?
[17:02] <CallumEEEPC> Thanks for your Help.
[17:02] <tiyowan> minus18_pundit: Uh-oh. Can you please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log please?
[17:02] <CallumEEEPC> I will Download the EEEBuntu now.
[17:02] <gmathews> Good day. Can someone help me with an XML wallpaper I am trying to run?
[17:03] <pok4> All Steam Games for week : www.7steam.xoxgo.com
[17:03] <CallumEEEPC> I am downloading EEEBuntu 8.10 yes?

[17:04] <Kavan> k
[17:04] <CallumEEEPC> Ok Thanks.
[17:04] <Be1> Hi Guys!
[17:05] <CallumEEEPC> Sorry I am very new, I got EEE PC for Xmas.
[17:05] <CallumEEEPC> The new 8GB SD 701SD Model, White
[17:05] <gmathews> Hi I am trying to run thge ALlDay Long wallpapeer which is an XML file - it works because it shows the picture but I havent seen it change. Would anyone be keen to help?
[17:05] <Be1> anyone know how to make ubuntu re scan hardware and get my new sound card working??
[17:05] <Roritharr> does eeebuntu work with other netbooks aswell?
[17:05] <Halitech> CallumEEEPC, have you installed or used any other version of linux before?
[17:05] <adrian0071> is it possible to reset the ubuntu desktop back to its 'factory' state?  I have added and removed a lot of panel items from the menu bars and would like to basically put everything back as it was
[17:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !eeepc > CallumEEEPC
[17:06] <CallumEEEPC> Yeah I have Used Ubuntu and YellowDog Linux.
[17:06] <CallumEEEPC> Yet have never changed a OS around or added app's
[17:06] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: Hes gotten that factoid like 5 times now, I think thats enough.
[17:06] <CallumEEEPC> Like removed/added a OS to a PC.
[17:06] <Kavan> I am utilizing checkinstall to create DEB binary packages, but it is not replacing the kernel module during installation
[17:06] <Kavan> any suggestions?
[17:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici Now if he would actually READ it
[17:07] <Pici> CallumEEEPC: #ubuntu-offtopic is the channel for chat, please only stick to support questions in #ubuntu
[17:07] <minus18_pundit> tiyowan: what does pastebin mean? should i paste it here?
[17:07] <gmathews> The XML file can be found here -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/92299/
[17:07] <gmathews> Please take a look someone :) Thanks.
[17:07] <tiyowan> adrian0071: Well...if you're talking about the GUI; you could just purge and reinstall. But I haven't done that.
[17:07] <tiyowan> minus18_pundit: paste.ubuntu.com
[17:08] <Halitech> CallumEEEPC, don't mean to sound rude but if you don't know how to change an OS then maybe you should learn how to use Linpus that is installed so if you need assistance you can call the support line
[17:08] <adrian0071> minus18_pundit: pastebin is used to share code and config files.  It is an alternative to spamming the chat window with large amounts of text when you need someone to look at one of your files
[17:08] <tiyowan> minus18_pundit: You wouldn't happen to be running a laptop would you?
[17:08] <Be1> I have pulled a harddrive from a dead ubuntu machine and slung it in another PC, to my amazement the other pc booted without any issue. just no sound, any quick fixes??
[17:08] <U236Willy> sorry tiyowan and Halitech.... initially it didn't want to recognize the ipod that was plugged into it just yesterday.. :( but http://paste.ubuntu.com/92301/
[17:08] <CallumEEEPC> No I will learn and keep my Linux restore disk near me thanks.
[17:08] <minus18_pundit> tiyowan: no, i am not running a laptop
[17:08] <CallumEEEPC> It doesn't seem that hard, windows was a fluke.
[17:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > CallumEEEPC
[17:09] <Pici> CallumEEEPC: Please /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:09] <adrian0071> tiyowan: yeah reinstalling the package is an option, but to be honest its not a big enough issue to make it worthwhile.
[17:09] <minus18_pundit> tiyowan: how can i pastebin?
[17:09] <Newb`s_> Merry Christmas !
[17:09] <Kavan> Merry xmas
[17:10] <KarlsBerg> hello
[17:10] <tiyowan> minus18_pundit: I've got some bad news. According to this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6357516, your chipset probably won't work in intrepid.
[17:10] <Roy911> Hi, I installed Ubuntu on my HP dv5-1125nr laptop, but I haven't been able to get wireless networking to work, can anyone help? I think the problem is that the wireless card isn't active, but to activate it, there's a touch sensitive "button" of sorts that doesn't seem to work on Ubuntu.
[17:10] <Kavan> Roy911: lspci -v and paste that to pastebin
[17:10] <timtube> hi

[17:11] <KarlsBerg> since today, firefox dont open my setted home page, show a blank page, dont show ANY url in the bar when i see pages, bookmarks deleteds, and no open urls when i write one, i try also with midbrowser and work same, also i try reinstall it
[17:11] <timtube> anyone have a gmail.com account?
[17:11] <minus18_pundit> tiyowan: as the sis chipset is integrated should i buy a new intrebix supported grahics card?
[17:12] <timtube> anyone have a gmail.com account?
[17:12] <echinos> yep
[17:12] <U236Willy> i find it strange that wifi0 has the unspec device.. and wlan0 says link encap: ethernet
[17:12] <bazhang> timtube, why
[17:12] <timtube> because
[17:12] <echinos> good answer!
[17:12] <tiyowan> minus18_pundit: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6357516 - However, check out the info posted by bgerlich. That might fix your problem. You need to install a deb package. The consensus seems to be just to ditch sis and get a separate graphics card. sis seems to have horrible linux support.

[17:12] <bazhang> timtube, thats offtopic here
[17:13] <Kavan> Roy911: hrm, that's a decent chipset....atheros is known to have decent support in linux....last I knew atheros used madwifi drivers to get by....ath_pci is the driver for said card....
[17:13] <timtube> ya
[17:13] <Kavan> Roy911: do you see wireless networks via the gui network-manager?
[17:13] <U236Willy> tiyowan?
[17:13] <Guest75881> Can someone PM me for some LAN connectivity troubleshooting please?
[17:14] <Roy911> Kavan: No, when I click the network-manager icon, I see ethernet and wired net.works as options

[17:14] <cga> hi all, how do i disable nvidia drivers from cli?? i enabled them from the "driver gui" thing and now i can't see anything. i'm ircing from another pc. thanks
[17:15] <tiyowan> U236Willy: What wifi card and ubuntu release are you using? Perhaps I can google something up.
[17:15] <Halitech> U236Willy, have you tried from the terminal to do a sudo iwconfig ?
[17:15] <minus18_pundit> tiyowan: if i buy a new graphics card will it conflict with the present chipset? and if i have to buy which one woulld have linux support?
[17:15] <U236Willy> yep
[17:15] <Kavan> Roy911: google points me here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=902860
[17:16] <Kavan> Roy911: that will probably fix you up, updating madwifi would be a good course of action to take
[17:16] <ortsvorsteher> cga: try to copy your xorg.conf.bak as xorg.conf and restart x
[17:16] <tiyowan> minus18_pundit: If you plug in a separate card, it won't conflict with your onboard chipset. Umm...a good card...try to check here.
[17:16] <Roy911> Kavan: Okay, thanks, I'll read on it.
[17:16] <cga> ortsvorsteher: ok
[17:16] <tiyowan> !hcl > minus18_pundit

[17:20] <bazhang> clemons, yes
[17:20] <U236Willy> the weirdest thing is.. after the fresh install.. and a bit of ifconfig up and etc.. it worked and i was able to d/l package updates
[17:21] <tiyowan> U236Willy: Hmm. We need to identify the chipset of your card.
[17:21] <ALfY-> I am trying to connect my Desktop via WIRED Ethernet to my network, however my NIC isn't working properly, can anyone help ?
[17:21] <tiyowan> U236Willy: This could be tricky.
[17:21] <tiyowan> ALfY-: Can you ping your router?
[17:21] <ALfY-> tiyowan: No, and the NIC won't assign DHCP either
[17:22] <clemons> try setting an appropriate IP
[17:22] <manzur> do you know how to use gnome main menu search box as a filter?
[17:22] <tiyowan> ALfY-: What does running "route" return?
[17:22] <ALfY-> tiyowan: I have done many "sudo dhclient eth1" and it returns "No DHCPOFFERS received". All hardware is confirmed functional. Static IPs won't work.
[17:22] <U236Willy> i'm going to look at my installed packages and see if maybe something is awry

[17:23] <ALfY-> tiyowan: How would you like me to display the results? The Paste webpage ?
[17:23] <tiyowan> U236Willy: I don't know how to help you specifically. But I'd try to find out the chipset of that card and then google it from there.

[17:26] <tiyowan> KarlsBerg: Do you have an add on Browser Glue or something like that?
[17:26] <Halitech> javimansilla, you probably need to reinstall whatever driver you were using with ndiswrapper again
[17:26] <javimansilla> Halitech: do you know how should I do that?
[17:27] <KarlsBerg> tiyowan, no, i dont touch firefox this days
[17:27] <quizme_> ortsvorsteher: all those files are empty
[17:28] <tiyowan> KarlsBerg: According to that error, a component failed in your firefox. I'd try reinstalling firefox.
[17:28] <Halitech> javimansilla, same way you did previously? I don't use ndiswrapper or broadcom so not sure

[17:29] <KarlsBerg> :-/
[17:30] <tiyowan> KarlsBerg: "sudo apt-get purge firefox", then reinstall.
[17:30] <KarlsBerg> tiyowan,  purge remove the bookmarks?
[17:30] <tiyowan> !aptoncd > crazy2be
[17:30] <tiyowan> KarlsBerg: Yes.

[17:33] <cousteau> how can I make an audio and data CD?
[17:33] <Ward1983> how do i compile software with interpid? i heard theres now some better way of doing it?
[17:33] <tiyowan> ALfY-: Nasty. What is the address of your router?
[17:33] <ALfY-> tiyowan: 192.168.4.1
[17:33] <tiyowan> !compile > Ward1983
[17:33] <KarlsBerg> tiyowan, purge dont fix it

[17:34] <thomas_> what is the better chat IRC ?
[17:34] <thomas_> xchat ?
[17:34] <Ward1983> tiyowan, ok i knew all that
[17:34] <thomas_> i speak for ubuntu
[17:34] <tiyowan> KarlsBerg: Try #firefox maybe?
[17:34] <lw0x15> thomas_: irssi
[17:34] <thomas_> what do you use ? xchat ?
[17:34] <lw0x15> i use irssi
[17:34] <Ward1983> tiyowan, thes some sort of other way, it creats a deb and i dont mean checkinstall
[17:34] <l337ingDisorder> is there a command line tool that would let me to LDAP lookups on a windows active directory network?
[17:34] <thomas_> ok thank
[17:34] <tiyowan> ALfY-: This is indeed odd...can you ping 127.0.0.1
[17:35] <thomas_> why use irssi ? better than xchat ?
[17:35] <lw0x15> yep
[17:35] <lw0x15> for me
[17:35] <ocRob> thomas_: i think so
[17:35] <ALfY-> tiyowan: Yes, I can
[17:35] <thomas_> ok thank !
[17:35] <lw0x15> irssi - simplicity
[17:35] <lw0x15> :]
[17:36] <tiyowan> ALfY-: Everything seems to be fine. And this card works from Windows?
[17:36] <ALfY-> tiyowan: Yes
[17:36] <zoi84> x
[17:36] <Halitech> cousteau, take a look at k3b -> http://www.nabble.com/create-mixed-mode-cd-in-k3b-td7164949.html
[17:36] <Ward1983> ALfY-, what was the problem? i didnt read it i just came in
[17:36] <tiyowan> ALfY-: Because the very fact that you can't ping your router is disturbing in itself. It suggests a problem with your nic or the cable.
[17:36] <ALfY-> tiyowan: The NIC shares an IRQ with the Video card, and sometimes USB controller, could that be it ?
[17:36] <KarlsBerg> tiyowan, deleting .mozilla/firefox manual run fine !!
[17:37] <tiyowan> ALfY-: I think that'd be a good idea. :)
[17:37] <ALfY-> tiyowan: I tested the cable succesfully
[17:37] <tiyowan> ALfY-: I'd try to resolve that IRQ conflict, mate. NICs need their own channels.
[17:37] <manzur> gnome-main-menu search box should work as a filter, is this possible?
[17:37] <ALfY-> tiyowan: Yeah, I thought it could be the IRQ conflict, but I have no clue how
[17:37] <thomas_> where write commandes ?
[17:38] <tiyowan> KarlsBerg: Excellent. :)
[17:38] <Ward1983> whats the best way to compile software with interpid? i heard theres now some better way of doing it?
[17:38] <bluntz> Is grabdisplay broken in xawtv 3.95  ??
[17:38] <ALfY-> Ward1983: Basically, I have a crazy NIC problem, it won't take DHCPOFFERS from my router, and won't connect to my LAN when I assign it a static IP.
[17:38] <sheep> Ward1983: the same way things are always compiled
[17:39] <Ward1983> sheep, ah ok someone in ehre told me a very simple way to make a deb, and not with checkinstall, but its not in my scrollback anymore, didnt adjust it yet when he told me
[17:39] <mib_6hmx0p> rythymbox or bashee? which is better? can i use both of them ?(not at the same time of course) or will they interfere with eachother? is it possible for me to store my music on an external drive and to play it on my computer without any problems?
[17:39] <tiyowan> ALfY-: Your interface is up. Your cable's fine. Card's working. Router's ok. But you can't ping your router. This is because the packets aren't flowing. IRQ conflict probably. But I've never seen the symptoms of a NIC with conflicting IRQs before.
[17:40] <sheep> Ward1983: oh, for making a deb?
[17:40] <Ward1983> sheep, yes (but not with checkinstall)
[17:40] <tiyowan> ALfY-: And as I am new to linux myself, I don't know how to fix it. Maybe you could try tweaking your BIOS?
[17:40] <ALfY-> tiyowan: I'll give it a shot, I didn't see the granularity for individual assignments in there... I'll look again
[17:41] <Accidus> I have a problem with hibernate: When I tell my laptop to hibernate, it seems to be doing everything alright. Then, when I turn it on again, it starts waking up from hibernation, I get a mouse pointer, but then the machine freezes. The pointer won't move. Hibernation used to work when I first installed Ubuntu, but now it no longer works. I should have enough swap space (I have 3GB ram and my swap is 6GB)
[17:41] <tiyowan> ALfY-: It's strange. Your machine shouldn't be assigning so many devices to the same IRQ channel.
[17:41] <Ward1983> ALfY-, you actually get offers?
[17:41] <Lee_Lbuczko> hello
[17:41] <fungo> there's a way to tell the kernel made by make-kpkg to use the old one modules?
[17:42] <tiyowan> ALfY-: What NIC do you have btw?
[17:43] <Ward1983> tiyowan, if he gets offers then packets obviously do flow lol
[17:43] <bluntz> Is grabdisplay broken in xawtv 3.95  ??
[17:43] <ALfY-> Ward1983: Yes, I've had two occasions where it even DISPLAYS the offers in the 'dhclient' output. Unfortunately, the NIC didnt take the offered IP for some reason.
[17:43] <ALfY-> tiyowan: I have a RealTek card, RTL-8169
[17:44] <Ward1983> ALfY-, probably the IRQ conflict, sorry dunno how to resolve that
[17:44] <tiyowan> Ward1983: Could you explain to me then why he can't ping his router? Perhaps I might be missing something.
[17:44] <Sofistio> Marry christmas to everyone from ubuntu user!!!
[17:45] <mib_6hmx0p> is it possible for me to store my music on an external drive and to play it on my computer without any problems?(using banshee) can banshee play music downloaded from itunes?
[17:45] <Ward1983> tiyowan, DHCP works like this: offer - discover - request - acknowledge, so if he gets an offer, the discover reacher his gateway, and the offer also reached back
[17:45] <tiyowan> ALfY-: Bingo. I'm getting kernel bug reports on that card.
[17:45] <zelda> How do I remove a file thats in etc/X11? sudo remove?
[17:45] <Ward1983> reacher == reached
[17:45] <tiyowan> Ward1983: I'm not referring to DHCP. I'm talking about ping.
[17:45] <sheep> zelda: sudo rm, but be very careful
[17:45] <Ward1983> tiyowan, now you stated packets were not flowing
[17:46] <Ward1983> tiyowan, i corrected that, sorry
[17:46] <zelda> sheep: thanks. I was trying sudo -r  -remove.
[17:46] <Ward1983> tiyowan, now == no btw lol
[17:46] <rCX> Another n00b question... How do I end a program (dosbox) that isn't responding?
[17:46] <pioov> does anyone got java plugin for firefox (jre 6 u12) to work on 64 bits??
[17:46] <mib_6hmx0p> is it possible for me to store my music on an external drive and to play it on my computer without any problems?(using banshee) can banshee play music downloaded from itunes?
[17:46] <ALfY-> tiyowan: Can you share the links so I can read up on the bug, and hopefully potential fixes ?
[17:47] <tiyowan> ALfY-: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/256331 <- According to this, the kernel doesn't support the Realtek chip on your NIC.
[17:47] <tiyowan> Ward1983: No worries, mate.
[17:47] <Ward1983> ALfY-, http://www.homenethelp.com/web/howto/irq-sharing.asp
[17:48] <pioov> is the new JRE-6-u12 working on firefox 64bits?
[17:48] <thomas_> salut
[17:48] <Kavan> anyone familiar with checkinstall?
[17:48] <Ward1983> tiyowan, ok :) (check this btw http://www.homenethelp.com/web/howto/irq-sharing.asp )
[17:48] <zelda> Sheep: Awesome. Thanks!
[17:48] <thomas_> pas de francais ?
[17:48] <thomas_> je ne suis pas sur ubuntu fr ?
[17:48] <ALfY-> tiyowan: Ok, I have a potential solution. My motherboard has another NIC built-in that I disabled, I'll give that a go and let you know my results!
[17:48] <Kitar|st> http://digg.com/comedy/Give_it_to_your_wife_3
[17:48] <Kitar|st> lol

[17:49] <Ward1983> just using another PCI slot seems to fix it
[17:49] <ALfY-> Ward1983: Oh man, I have tried EVERY SINGLE ONE of those GRUB switches, to no avail :)
[17:49] <ALfY-> Ward1983: NIC is onboard (Built-in to motherboard)
[17:49] <tiyowan> ALfY-: I strongly suspect it's a kernel issue. Enable the onboard NIC and use that. Or try Ward1983's idea of putting the NIC in another slot. My money's on the kernel issue, though.
[17:50] <Ward1983> ALfY-, the link i gave states the best way to change IRQs is just use another PCI slot
[17:50] <LaserJock> stupid question, how do i turn compiz off and on easily?
[17:50] <ALfY-> tiyowan: NIC is onboard (Built-in to motherboard). I'm going to switch onboard NICs and give it a go
[17:50] <fosco_> LaserJock: install fusion-icon
[17:50] <tiyowan> ALfY-: Do that please, and do let us know.
[17:50] <Ward1983> LaserJock, systen -> preferences -> appearance
[17:51] <LaserJock> Ward1983: that will turn it off, but how do I get it back on with my custom settings?
[17:52] <cga> mmmm where can i set the clock to use ntp?? i cannot find it in the clock preferences or set time and date
[17:52] <Ward1983> LaserJock, set your settings with compizconfig-settings-manager
[17:52] <tiyowan> Ward1983: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/256331 <- Take a look.
[17:53] <LaserJock> Ward1983: right, I know *how* to set the settings, I just want to be able to start compiz back up with my previous settings
[17:53] <keithclark> I seem to be having trouble sharing directories/files over samba.  I make the directory shareable and my other user on another computer can see the directory.  They are promted for a username and password and they use the ones that I set up on the host computer but it still does not allow them access.
[17:53] <Ward1983> LaserJock, thats the way to do it..... ffs
[17:53] <Ward1983> LaserJock, works fine here, it saves my settigns fine
[17:54] <ardchoille> When I run the Report A Problem app, it results in a message: "This problem report is damaged and cannot be processed". Is this a known issue? Is this supposed to be a gui app?
[17:54] <tomsaso> hi. just installed ubuntu 8.1 :D It is cool, but i cant watch youtube viedos, i installed flash (using the link provided on youtube and i selected ubuntu 8.04 + .deb pack)
[17:54] <Ward1983> tiyowan, yeah that looks like similar symptoms, driver not working right or something
[17:54] <ardchoille> How do I report a problem with the Report A Problem app?
[17:54] <Ward1983> tiyowan, maybe he can compile the driver himself
[17:54]  * ardchoille giggles
[17:54] <ardchoille> I just realized how ironic this is
[17:54] <tomsaso> can anyone help me ?
[17:55] <Accidus> I'll ask again: I have a problem with hibernate: When I tell my laptop to hibernate, it seems to be doing everything alright. Then, when I turn it on again, it starts waking up from hibernation, I get a mouse pointer, but then the machine freezes. The pointer won't move. Hibernation used to work when I first installed Ubuntu, but now it no longer works. I should have enough swap space (I have 3GB ram and my swap is 6GB)
[17:55] <tiyowan> Ward1983: Perhaps. But he'd better know what he's doing.
[17:55] <Ward1983> tiyowan, nice there's a solution there aswell
[17:55] <Ward1983> tiyowan, its needed to compile your own kernel lol
[17:55] <tiyowan> Ward1983: Because it's a kernel issue as well. And I'm not touching those with a six-foot pole.
[17:55] <Ward1983> tiyowan, thats not too hard though, just did it for the first time last night
[17:56] <tiyowan> !hibernation > Accidus
[17:56] <tiyowan> !hibernate > Accidus
[17:56] <Ward1983> tiyowan, you just need to get the sources, then use menuconfig or a config file, then compile it
[17:56] <Ward1983> tiyowan, and then add it to grub menu.lst
[17:57] <tomsaso> so any1 can help me with youtube issue ?
[17:57] <Ward1983> tiyowan, if it doesnt work you can jsut boot your old kernel and see what the problem was / try to build again with other configs
[17:57] <platius> tomsaso;   I did a yum install ubuntu-restricted-extras to install flash and it is working fine for me
[17:57] <Ward1983> tiyowan, (i had to compile a kernel for xen)
[17:57] <tiyowan> Accidus: What machine do you have?
[17:57] <bazhang> platius, yum install?
[17:58] <zelda> LOL thats what I was saying
[17:58] <platius> opps
[17:58] <bazhang> heh
[17:58] <tiyowan> Ward1983: Someday soon. I still need to learn more.
[17:58] <platius> tomsaso; check that    I did a apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras to install flash and it is working fine for me
[17:58] <bazhang> tomsaso, install from synaptic not youtube
[17:58] <zelda> bazhang: maybe he has food at his desk.. who knows..
[17:58] <bazhang> tomsaso, flashplugin-nonfree
[17:59] <Ward1983> tiyowan, just thought i might explain the process in short so you know its not that hard
[17:59] <bazhang> !botsnack
[17:59] <ailean> hi. my pc freezes at random intervals.  it then responds to nothing, forcing me to restart. can anyone shed any light on the problem?
[17:59] <tomsaso> installing from synaptic now :d
[17:59] <Accidus> tiyowan: Inspiron 1545
[17:59] <zelda> LOL @ platius
[17:59] <tiyowan> Ward1983: Thanks for the info. :) Encouragement always helps.
[17:59] <platius> too many distros, so little time
[17:59] <zelda> !botsnack | platius
[17:59] <Ward1983> tiyowan, oh for a driver you only need the headers even :D
[18:00] <Ward1983> tiyowan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[18:00] <chazco> Hi... how can I use my desktop PC to control a netbook PC, but at full desktop resolution (1440x900 vs the netbooks 1024x600)?
[18:00] <The_Joe_> Is there a quick command I can use to change all the file extensions (.SAN) to lowercase but keep the filenames?
[18:00] <bazhang> chazco, remote desktop?
[18:00] <The_Joe_> ..as uppercase
[18:00] <tiyowan> Ward1983: Good link. I'll go and check it out now.
[18:00] <chazco> bazhang - When i tried the Ubuntu remote desktop utility i only got the laptops resolution... has this been changed?
[18:01] <The_Joe_> Actually forget that - I got it
[18:01] <Ward1983> tiyowan, well but the kernel needed to be patched aswell in this case so that would mean he would need to build his own kernel anyway
[18:01] <Ward1983> tiyowan, but when theres no kernel issue its enough ti get the headers and you can compile drivers it states :)
[18:01] <ailean> hi. my pc freezes at random intervals.  it then responds to nothing, forcing me to restart. can anyone shed any light on the problem? This happens on both Ubuntu and Windows, so I think it is a hardware problem.  Would it be the graphics card?
[18:02] <Ward1983> tiyowan, happy reading
[18:04] <Halitech> ailean, could be graphics card or heat on the cpu, what is the temps like when it freezes?
[18:04] <keithclark> In order to share files via Samba, do I have to add the users to the sambausers group?
[18:04] <ailean> Halitech, hard to tell, as it won't respond to anything, so i can't take a reading.  I did have a problem with temps on this before though, and it used to shut down, not freeze
[18:04] <zoi84> exit
[18:04] <zoi84> exit
[18:05] <ALfY-> tiyowan: I have enabled my other NIC in the BIOS, disabled the RealTeK. Immediately, there is no connectivity. My router reports connectivity with the NIC. It won't receive DHCP.
[18:06] <Halitech> ailean, might not be getting hot enough to shutdown, you could try mbm5 in windows to check your temps or xsensors in ubuntu
[18:06] <ailean> Halitech, Problem was resolved by removing a thick carpet of dust around the CPU heat sink :)
[18:06] <ALfY-> When I attempt to ping my router, it says: "connect: Network is unreachable"
[18:07] <javimansilla> Halitech: no luck with reinstalling the driver with ndiswrapper :-/
[18:08] <javimansilla> anyone with broadcom wireless cards and intrepid that can give me a hand?
[18:08] <ailean> Halitech, I'll check just now and let you know . . . have to restore my updates as it broke the last time this froze :)
[18:09] <hackel> Isn't there a way get the enumValues for an object_enum_tag directly from the Doctrine schema?
[18:09] <att0> hello, I plan to install Ubuntu on my machine and I would like to know if there was an app that allowed it to act as both a gateway/router + a regular computer (I don't want to have a *dedicated* gateway/router)
[18:10] <bazhang> att0, to share the internet connection?
[18:10] <Jack_Sparrow> att0 you can bridge a card to your network connection if that is what you mean
[18:10] <att0> yes, I will connect my laptop via ethernet to the Ubuntu
[18:10] <bazhang> !ics
[18:10] <dan2> ubuntu has real firefox, not this piece of shit icepidgeon firefox knockoff right?
[18:10] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2 watch the language.. thanks
[18:10] <bazhang> dan2, watch the language please
[18:10] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[18:10] <sevenseeker1> unknown command
[18:11] <bazhang> jinx
[18:11] <sevenseeker1> hmmm
[18:11] <Halitech> ailean, ok
[18:11] <ailean> Halitech, xsensors is asking for a configuration file - I've just installed this.  Is there a default or a way of creating a default?
[18:11] <Halitech> javimansilla, not sure then
[18:11] <dan2> Jack_Sparrow: it couldn't be described in a better way
[18:11] <sevenseeker1> 8888888
[18:11] <bazhang> dan2, it has the real ff yes
[18:11] <Halitech> ailean, sudo sensors-detect I believe
[18:11] <bazhang> sevenseeker1, ??
[18:11] <dan2> Jack_Sparrow: I go to websites and they don't recognize the browser type, and it sends me to the mobile site, or it sends me to some other screwed up site
[18:11] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2 It could have done without the profanity
[18:12] <sevenseeker1> that was my son, sorry about that :)

[18:12] <budi_> cow_caem_smg
[18:12] <att0> Jack_Sparrow: thank you, but I would like it to scan network traffic before it gets to my current computer ( such as what www.untangle.com/ does)
[18:13] <sevenseeker1> raid question - using mdadm to build a raid 1 md, can I partition up that md or do I need to use lvm on top of that?
[18:13] <hanophix> I just installed Wubi, but I don't have a custom visual effects button
[18:13] <ailean> Halitech, thanks. running just now
[18:13] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix a wubi install in windows is a test drive and not a real partition install
[18:13] <Halitech> dan2, what do you mean icepidgeon firefox knockoff?
[18:14] <Accidus> Another try... I have a problem with hibernate: When I tell my laptop to hibernate, it seems to be doing everything alright. Then, when I turn it on again, it starts waking up from hibernation, I get a mouse pointer, but then the machine freezes. The pointer won't move. Hibernation used to work when I first installed Ubuntu, but now it no longer works. I should have enough swap space (I have 3GB ram and my swap is 6GB, working on an Inspiron
[18:14] <Accidus> 1545)
[18:14] <hanophix> Jack_Sparrow I know this
[18:14] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix just a little fyi and a suggestion to read the wubi faq
[18:14] <hanophix> so I can't change visual effects
[18:14] <dan2> Halitech: debian has something called iceweasel, which is without the firefox branding marks
[18:14] <dan2> Halitech: because there is some sort of trademark dispute
[18:14] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix Yes you cant, but I dont support wubi installs
[18:14] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix Yes you can, but I dont support wubi installs
[18:15] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2 what site is not letting you view it.
[18:15] <dan2> try papajohns.com
[18:15] <dan2> with iceweasel
[18:15] <dan2> sends you to the mobile page
[18:15] <dan2> heh
[18:16] <hanophix> Jack_Sparrow: I understand, thanks.....I've been regular ubuntu installs...is Wubi less respected?
[18:16] <cesdev> good php editor for ubuntu?
[18:16] <att0> has any tried linuxcd.org?
[18:16] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix yes, I wont use nor recommend wubi.. to anyone I lke
[18:16] <Jack_Sparrow> like
[18:17] <dan2> adobe flash works well on ubuntu too right?
[18:17] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2 papajohns comes up in the default firefox here
[18:17] <dan2> and java?
[18:17] <dan2> Jack_Sparrow: right... but in iceweasel it doesn't
[18:17] <bazhang> dan2, yep

[18:20] <blndr08> hey all im running xubuntu and it doesn't want to load my menu bar for some reason - can someone help me? :)
[18:20] <Didoudu73> hello
[18:21] <gverig> this likely is a dumb question but I can't seem to resolve it on my own. I'm on ubuntu 8.10. What package contains libGL.a?
[18:21] <zc00gii> how do I change the icon for the Ubuntu logo on the bar with 'Applications Places System' in GNOME?
[18:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !find libgl
[18:22] <enzotib> gverig, libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev
[18:23] <gverig> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks
[18:23] <Didoudu73> Good evening I wanted to know how to install(settle) a virtual sound card on a dedicated server
[18:23] <ailean> Halitech, I got a temperature sensor to work - the ACPI one.  Seems to be at 22 deg atm.  I couldn't get xsensors to work.
[18:23] <Halitech> dan2, it is called Ice Weasel and yes, it is because of trademark issues where the mozilla organization demanded certain things that were againt the gpl and debians view of software so the did what everyone is entitled to and rebranded firefox as ice weasel and thunderbird as ice dove, both of which work perfectly fine for meon 3 systems running debian
[18:23] <blndr08> i can't get my menu bar to show up on xubuntu - can anyone help?
[18:24] <Halitech> ailean, 22 f or c?
[18:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[18:25] <gverig> Jack_Sparrow: err... it conflicts with half of my rendering world... shouldn't this library be in libgl1-mesa-dev?
[18:25] <ailean> Halitech, C
[18:25] <ailean> Halitech, u want in F?
[18:25] <Halitech> ailean, no, c is fine
[18:25] <Jack_Sparrow> gverig DOnt know, and this isnt the place to discuss it
[18:26] <Halitech> ailean, seems to be nice and cool to me, wish mine was that cool right now
[18:26] <Jack_Sparrow> dan2 FYI the video came up on amazon for me here
[18:26] <dan2> Jack_Sparrow: awesome
[18:26] <GodfatherofEire1> Whenever I try and compile the .so file , I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92334/
[18:26] <ailean> Halitech, I have my doubts about that figure.  The room temp here is about that.
[18:26] <gverig> Jack_Sparrow: o_O why not? Is development discussed somewhere else?
[18:26] <lianimator> how do I add a 'degree' symbol in text editor?
[18:27] <ham> hi
[18:27] <GodfatherofEire1> lianimator: you could use the character map under accessories
[18:27] <macd> gverig, #ubuntu-devel , #ubuntu-motu
[18:27] <enzotib> gverig, I gave you an answer from apt-file, read back
[18:27] <Halitech> ailean, can you reach in and touch the heatsink? if it feels hot to the touch the reading probably is off
[18:27] <Jack_Sparrow> gverig many other channels.. this is support only
[18:28] <zephyr34> for runnig it
[18:28] <zephyr34> but still it is not running
[18:28] <lianimator> In conky, why do I see an "A" with something on top before the ° symbol?
[18:28] <zephyr34> any way to run the iso image in ubuntu
[18:28] <gverig> enzotib: ohh, I thought you were a bot and replied to Jack_Sparrow's request. I tried that and it conflicts with half of the OS. swx11 is software rasterizer
[18:29] <GodfatherofEire1> Whenever I try and compile the .so file , I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92334/, and since I get a big wall of startup text on startup, I would prefer to have a normal usplash, which I cant have because Intrepid uses a different version of shared object files for usplash, I just get the text.
[18:29] <enzotib> gverig, don't know I performed a search trough apt-file and have only that answer
[18:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !iso
[18:30] <zelda> hello!
[18:30] <energY> Does Ubuntu support MTP devices?
[18:30] <J-_> Does the default Ubuntu installation use AIGLX or GLX?
[18:30] <zelda> *pats himself on the back for installing his new GeForce 8500GT
[18:31] <ailean_> Halitech, I froze so had to restart.  While doing so I took the opportunity of reading temperatures from BIOS.  System temp was 50 deg C and CPU temp was 57 deg C.
[18:31] <J-_> for compiz-fusion that is
[18:31] <macd> energY, Yes, but only legacy
[18:31] <RizR> got a question about grub background. How do I get pretty and crisp theme (like the one suse uses)? Theme changes doesnt really bring out the required level of detauls.
[18:31] <RizR> details*
[18:31] <Halitech> ailean_, what type of system do you have? ie INtel or amd?
[18:31] <macd> energY, so media devices like the sandisk sansa, work.
[18:31] <ailean_> This one's an intel
[18:32] <energY> macd: Legacy?
[18:32] <GodfatherofEire1> macd, my Creative ZEN works fine with Ubuntu, and thats relatively new
[18:32] <energY> A Creative Zen, will it work?
[18:32] <macd> energY, the latest zune doesnt work for instace.
[18:32] <energY> GodfatherofEire1: What progs?
[18:32] <Halitech> ailean_, 57 seems pretty high to me, even at heavy load for me I never get above 58C, I have a P4 1.8ghz
[18:32] <GodfatherofEire1> Rhythmbox does it fine, but you have to enable MTP support under plugins
[18:33] <rjune__> macd: does the sansa work with mtp? or does it work as a removalbe drive?
[18:33] <GodfatherofEire1> And you have to install libmtp or something from synaptic, but dont quote me on the exact filename, but searching mtp should do it
[18:33] <ailean_> Halitech, this is a 3.4 GHz dual core. perhaps that gets hotter?
[18:33] <rjune__> nmind, answered
[18:33] <macd> rjune__, as an MTP device thats syncable through rythmbox among others
[18:34] <solmakou> tiyowan have you tried the "Compiz Fusion Icon" it allows you to go between Compiz and Metacity with very no side effects that I've foun
[18:34] <SiliconViper> I'm trying to find a way to relay keyboard / mouse events to multiple windows in X. A skim over Google results didn't turn up anything that seemed helpful. Has anyone here done something like this, or have insight as to what I should be looking for?
[18:34] <GodfatherofEire1> energY: Rhythmbox does it fine, but you have to enable MTP support under plugins, And you have to install libmtp or something from synaptic, but dont quote me on the exact filename, but searching mtp should do it (sorry for sendin it twice, but most people look for the name highlights)

[18:35] <xc1024> hi guys. anyone could help me with tablet setup?
[18:35] <tiyowan> solmakou: That's the workaround I'm currently using to watch videos on this system. :)
[18:35] <ailean_> Halitech, although that may be hot, i wouldn't say it's such a high temperature as to cause CPU problems.  what would you think?
[18:35] <Serafeim> hallo!
[18:35] <Serafeim> enyone using limewire??
[18:35] <GodfatherofEire1> Thanks, mackd, so energY, the package name (if you havebnt got it already, is libmtp8
[18:35] <tiyowan> ailean_: What CPU are you running and at what temperatures?
[18:36] <GodfatherofEire1> Whenever I try and compile the .so file , I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92334/, and since I get a big wall of startup text on startup, I would prefer to have a normal usplash, which I cant have because Intrepid uses a different version of shared object files for usplash, I just get the text. So I could REALLY use some help with compiling this
[18:36] <LordElph> Ubuntu 8.10, amd64, installed for a week for a so, fully up to date, but now when I log into Gnome, screen goes black for a few seconds, then the login screen comes back....I tried the "x recovery" option in the recovery boot option, but no joy. Anyone got any pointers on how I could diagnose/fix?
[18:36] <ailean_> tiyowan, Intel P4 dual core 3.4 GHz at 57 dec C
[18:37] <solmakou> max load?
[18:37] <xc1024> could anyone point me with setting up tablet
[18:37] <xc1024> tried wiki
[18:37] <energY> GodfatherofEire1: How do I export? I activated the plugin, can se it and the files. But dont see a s sync button...
[18:37] <Pici> GodfatherofEire1: just run 'make' in that directory to run the makefile.  Make sure that you have build-essential installed first though.
[18:37] <Serafeim> how can i download more than 3 torrents the same time with limewire?
[18:38] <solmakou> ailean_ is that under max cpu load?
[18:38] <tiyowan> ailean_: That temperature is fine.
[18:38] <ailean_> solmakou, no, probably not.
[18:38] <solmakou> tiyowan not if it's idle
[18:38] <GodfatherofEire1> Pici, it is
[18:39] <ailean_> tiyowan, solmakou as i say guys, i did have a problem with it in the past which was resolved by removing the thick layer of dust around the CPU heatsink.
[18:39] <GodfatherofEire1> And just make? not ./Makefile?
[18:39] <energY> GodfatherofEire1: I managed by myself
[18:39] <xc1024> anyone could help with setting up tablet?
[18:39] <ardchoille> Serafeim: I don't believe limewire is supported here
[18:39] <Pici> GodfatherofEire1: yes.
[18:39] <tiyowan> ailean_: solmakou has a good point. Does your temp. exceed 62-64C when you put load on the system?
[18:39] <xc1024> GodFatherofEirel, yes
[18:40] <xc1024> anyone could help with setting up tablet?
[18:40] <ailean_> tiyowan, it probably does, but I can't get a temp sensor to work...
[18:41] <tiyowan> ailean_: And if you were experiencing overheating problems in the past, then "removing the thick layer of dust around the CPU heatsink" is only a temporary solution. Please install an extra fan.
[18:41] <Halitech> ailean_, depends on the core, seems some are loaded at 51C
[18:41] <GodfatherofEire1> Pici, still some errors
[18:41] <GodfatherofEire1> Pici: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92341/
[18:42] <ailean_> tiyowan, so you reckon my freezing problems are due to overheating? (there's a sentence I never thought I'd say)
[18:42] <Pici> GodfatherofEire1: Looks like you're missing libusplash-dev
[18:43] <GodfatherofEire1> Pici: that'd do it
[18:43] <nutzer> hallo
[18:43] <tiyowan> ailean_: Probably.
[18:43] <solmakou> ailean_ you say you have a p4 dual core processor @ 3.4Ghz correct?
[18:44] <jesselang> Anyone know why 8.10 isn't showing up in the update-manager by default?
[18:44] <ailean_> solmakou, correct
[18:44] <jesselang> I'm currently using 8.04.
[18:44] <sin360> hello all
[18:44] <LeeQ> are there any bootloaders used other than GRUB?
[18:45] <selig5> lilo
[18:45] <ailean_> LeeQ, Lilo
[18:45] <LeeQ> that an acceptable alternative?
[18:45] <GodfatherofEire1> Pici, also, is there anyway to de-compile, then re-compile an .so for a usplash, cause I have a few I'd like to test, but they're the wrong version, and I dont have the source for them
[18:46] <Pici> GodfatherofEire1: I'm not aware of a way.
[18:46] <sin360> I'm using 8.04 64bit , I've installed the madwifi drivers didn't get no errors,the drivers are in use in the restricted drivers but I can not see my card wlan0
[18:46] <tiyowan> ailean_: You're using the Prescott core. Your "idle" temp. should be around 43C.
[18:47] <GodfatherofEire1> Pici, alright, just wonderin
[18:47] <Xisdibik> Hey everyone, I was installing Ubuntu on my samsung NC10 netbook, and the install went flawlessly, but the guide says the wireless needs some drivers from linux-backports-modules-intrepid   and when i do the command the guide says to get them, it says that it cannot find them.
[18:47] <tiyowan> ailean_: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/61684-10-prescott-temperatures
[18:47] <sin360> I could see them with the windows drivers but it doesn't work to well so I removed them
[18:47] <Pici> Xisdibik: What command?
[18:47] <Pici> !ot | tiyowan ailean_ (try ##hardware)
[18:47] <Xisdibik> sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid
[18:47] <LeeQ> If I boot from the live CD and I already have ubuntu installed, can I see my files on the HD?
[18:48] <ailean_> tiyowan, so i'm a little high, but i still don't think i would be so warm as to overheat
[18:48] <sin360> does anyone have any ideas
[18:48] <ailean_> tiyowan, would you mind accompanying me to that channel?
[18:48] <tiyowan> No problem.
[18:49] <Pici> Xisdibik: Have you done a: sudo apt-get update    yet?
[18:49] <core1> GDGFDGFDHGHGFJHNGJNGHJN
[18:49] <core1> HFDGFDGFD
[18:49] <Pici> core1: stop
[18:49] <FloodBot3> core1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:49] <core1> FGFGFDBGHGFJN
[18:49] <Xisdibik> hehe,  no, :)
[18:50] <bastid_raZor> LeeQ; yes, mount your drive.
[18:50] <Xisdibik> Thank you Pici, its installing :)
[18:50] <Pici> Xisdibik: great
[18:50] <nkatsou> hallo if somebidy told me if it is possible to convert ntfs to ext3?
[18:50] <saturnDriver> you can't convert a partition, you have to overwrite it
[18:51] <zephyr34> guys have u got any idea how to register the nickname for xchat
[18:51] <Pici> zephyr34: /msg nickserv help register    further help in #freenode
[18:52] <zephyr34> thank u Pici
[18:52] <LeeQ> bastid_raZor: sudo mount hd0?
[18:52] <LeeQ> sudo mount hd0
[18:52] <thompa> whats the deal with HP laserjets like 1018, why must I use the 3rd party driver and ubuntu not support this?
[18:52] <saturnDriver> LeeQ - wouldn't it be sudo mount /dev/hd0
[18:52] <saturnDriver> assuming that it is specified in /etc/fstab
[18:53] <Pnux> hey, i cant create audio cds (using brasero and k3b), it says theres a codec missing, does anybody know that codec's name?
[18:53] <saturnDriver> Pnux - no
[18:53] <dro_> What other GUI irc clients are worth trying out instead of XChat?
[18:54] <Pici> Pnux: Are you trying to burn MP3s? Have you been able to play them before?
[18:54] <saturnDriver> Pnux - What format are the files you are transcoding?
[18:54] <thompa> now i got even a fancy HP applet and it wont work. says gnome printing is still broken
[18:54] <dro_> XChat crashes on occasions and wont let me enter rooms, sometimes. Frustrating.
[18:54] <Pnux> saturnDriver, mp3
[18:54] <Pici> dro_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[18:54] <saturnDriver> Pnux - you need gstreamer
[18:54] <Pnux> Pici, amarok and vlc plays them properly
[18:54] <dro_> Thanks.
[18:54] <LeeQ> saturnDriver:  actually, I'm not sure it is even seeing the drive... how do I check that?
[18:54] <saturnDriver> LeeQ - sudo fdisk -l
[18:55] <jtaji> dro_: if you're running xchat-gnome instead of xchat you might give vanilla xchat a try
[18:55] <Pnux> saturnDriver, how do i get it?
[18:55] <sin360> can anyone help me with my madwifi install?
[18:55] <bastid_raZor> !codecs > Pnux
[18:56] <LeeQ> saturnDriver: /dev/sda1 boot *   Blocks 114198021
[18:56] <saturnDriver> Pnux - Applications > Add/Remove > Search "gstreamer" and install "gstreamer extra plugins" iirc
[18:57] <saturnDriver> LeeQ - Did you write anything in /etc/fstab
[18:57] <LeeQ> saturnDriver: no sit
[18:57] <LeeQ> saturnDriver:  no sir* I did not
[18:57] <carpii> can i use iptables to log the mac address for a given ip ?
[18:57] <qlex> hi; I have a problem with my tv tuner
[18:58] <qlex> ﻿tvtime doesn't see it; it says that there's no signal and it can't open /dev/video0
[18:58] <bastid_raZor> LeeQ; create a place to mount it. sudo mkdir /media/drive (or something to that effect) then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/drive
[18:58] <qlex> ﻿lspci returns:
[18:58] <qlex> ﻿Philips Semiconductors SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1)
[18:58] <qlex> ﻿it's an avermedia
[18:58] <Kavan> how do I find what date linux-kernel-2.6.22.24 was introduced into ubuntu 8.04?
[18:58] <bastid_raZor> LeeQ; you will then be able to access the drive via the path of /media/drive
[18:59] <qlex> all the information I find on the internet is about dvb cards, and it's not a dvb
[18:59] <qlex> running ubuntu hardy with kernel 2.6.24.22
[18:59] <Pnux> saturnDriver, seems like it works now, thanks
[18:59] <saturnDriver> Pnux - np
[19:00] <noonubuntu> Hi all
[19:00] <ocRob> Hello!
[19:00] <carpii> Kavan, it was built 24th November so it must have been after that
[19:00] <jtaji> Kavan: changelog  says Tue, 18 Nov 2008 17:19:02 +0100  http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux/linux_2.6.24-22.45/changelog
[19:00] <Pici> qlex: Have you looked here: http://www.linuxtv.org/ ?  They have extensive information
[19:00] <Halitech> ailean_, sorry about that, had company drop in .... do you know what core you have? ie prescott, northwood, etc?
[19:00] <noonubuntu> i have a canon mf5550 and was wondering if it will work with ubuntu?
[19:01] <Kavan> carpii, jtaji: thank you for the answer....what command line obtained that information for future reference?
[19:01] <Kavan> I definitely appreciate
[19:01] <tiyowan> Halitech: Blokes in ##hardware are helping him out. His case temp's at 50C. Too hot.
[19:01] <ailean_> Halitech, tiyowan tells me it's a prescott.  I don't know :)
[19:01] <carpii> i just did cat /proc/version
[19:01] <qlex> any ideas??
[19:01] <jtaji> Kavan: I searched for 'linux-image' on packages.ubuntu.com
[19:01] <jim_p> are atom cpus supported by linux?
[19:01] <qlex> sorry, thanks Pici
[19:01] <qlex> let me see...
[19:01] <Halitech> tiyowan, I was thinking that as well
[19:02] <Halitech> ailean_, okay, I'll let the guys in hardware help you out
[19:02] <ailean_> cheers Halitech
[19:02] <jtaji> jim_p: yeah I guess those linux netbooks are using them
[19:03] <jemark> anyone using a x3100 + compiz and has flickering screen in some programs?
[19:03] <Pici> Kavan: You can use https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux in the future too.
[19:03] <afief> jim_p: yes, my friend is running ubuntu on one
[19:03] <jim_p> jtaji, true, but do they need a custom compiled jernel?
[19:03] <jim_p> *kernel
[19:03] <Cadman21> is there a program that will rip dvds to my computer?
[19:03] <saturnDriver> can anyone help me play music and have sound in ET at the same time?
[19:03] <Xisdibik> Pici i still cant get ubuntu to connect to the wireless
[19:03] <tiyowan> jemark: x1400 here. Same problem. No solution at the moment. Install compiz fusion icon and switch to metacity to watch videos without flickering.
[19:03] <afief> jim_p: don't think so, he can hardly use synaptic
[19:04] <Pici> jim_p: I beleive they will use the i386 kernel just fine. there is also lpia builds of many packages as well.
[19:04] <tiyowan> jemark: It's not an Ubuntu issue. Problem's between ATI and Compiz.
[19:04] <Pici> Xisdibik: I'm just about to step away from the computer, so I suggest asking the channel again.
[19:04] <bastid_raZor> LeeQ; please don't pm :) add -t ext3 after mount. which i'm guessing that your partition is ext3 since it has kubuntu on it
[19:04] <oneseventeen> how do you choose a different mirror for apt?
[19:04] <jemark> tiyowan, mine is a intel X3100 onboard video card
[19:04] <jim_p> sec
[19:04] <oneseventeen> I've got 1 day and 23hours remaining on downloading a 3MB perl-modules package
[19:05] <tiyowan> oneseventeen: Sys -> Admin -> Software Sources.
[19:05] <ALfY-> tiyowan: Can I PM you with my current status ?
[19:05] <ubuntu> i/server irc.freakbase.net 6666
[19:05] <tiyowan> ALfY-: Sure. Go ahead.
[19:05] <Halitech> noonubuntu, I can't even find an mf5550, are you sure on the model number?
[19:05] <jemark> tiyowan, slideshow in f-spot givines flickering... videos are ok here, but googleearth gives also the same flickering...
[19:05] <tiyowan> jemark: The issue seems to affect the entire Xnnnn series.
[19:05] <Xisdibik> Ok well for anyone then.  I can open the wireless networking page and create connection and it asks for SSID:  the Mode: then BSSID and then a mac address (whats the BSSID vs SSID?)  and does it want the mac address of the router?
[19:05] <noonubuntu> Halitech yea Canon Mf5550
[19:05] <Cadman21> Can Brasero  rip dvd to a compuer?
[19:05] <Halitech> noonubuntu, check here for known info on printers http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Canon
[19:06] <oneseventeen> tiyowan: oops, should have mentioned CLI only...
[19:06] <noonubuntu> k
[19:06] <Maxxik> why linux sucks?
[19:06] <tiyowan> jemark: Quick test would be to open up a terminal, "metacity --replace", test, then "compiz --replace"
[19:06] <bastid_raZor> Cadman21; sorta.. it can copy it as an iso
[19:06] <LeeQ> bastid_raZor: "Can't find ext3 on filesystem on dev sda1"  same thing if I try ext2
[19:06] <tiyowan> Maxxik: Take that elsewhere, please.
[19:06] <jtaji> Cadman21: you could use 'dvdrip'
[19:07] <bastid_raZor> LeeQ; when you did the fdisk -l what did it say under System for /dev/sda1 ?
[19:07] <LeeQ> bastid_raZor: could that be an indication that the drive is fried?
[19:07] <noonubuntu> Halitech its not on there at all
[19:07] <Cadman21> I want to put my dvds on my laptop so when I travel I can watch them. if I copy as an iso can I watch them on my computer?
[19:07] <LeeQ> bastid_raZor: says "Linux"
[19:07] <Halitech> Maxxik, are you in need or support or are you just here to complain?
[19:07] <nbeebo> the graphic stuff, is it called fglrx? doefgorffdgfg
[19:07] <Halitech> noonubuntu, I know
[19:07] <jemark> tiyowan, but you have an ATI card and I have an Intel one... yes, that is one solution but annoying to type that all the time when i want to use the slideshow in f-spot and want to use googleearth
[19:08] <bastid_raZor> LeeQ; where you having drives issues before?
[19:08] <nbeebo> is it called fglrx or frglx?
[19:08] <LeeQ> all started this morning with a GRUB error 17
[19:08] <nbeebo> ill ask in offtopic cause im in a hurry
[19:09] <bastid_raZor> nbeebo; fglrx
[19:09] <jemark> LeeQ, that means ur Grub doesn't see a partition.
[19:09] <Halitech> noonubuntu, only post I find relevant is here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=109121
[19:09] <RizR> thinking to change grub->gfxboot due to prettier themes etc. puzzled as to why ubuntu still hasn't adopted it? anyone got any thoughts on it?
[19:09] <nbeebo> bastid_raZor,  thanks
[19:09] <RizR> seems pretty straight forward though.
[19:09] <jemark> LeeQ, HD problem mostlikely.
[19:09] <bastid_raZor> LeeQ; possibly your drive is having issues.
[19:10] <ardchoille> RizR: Some of us don't reboot often
[19:10] <bastid_raZor> ardchoille; RizR exactly, my box reboots about once a month.
[19:10] <RizR> ardchoille: what about rest of U
[19:10] <bastid_raZor> RizR; you may get a better response is #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:11] <LeeQ> bastid_raZor: other way to attempt to get files off this HDD?
[19:11] <Halitech> RizR, I reboot normally about once a month
[19:11] <RizR> bastid_raZor: thanks.
[19:12] <RizR> stop gloating about it everyone. we all know about lack of boot. I just asked one question not booting patterns for everyone.
[19:12] <bastid_raZor> LeeQ; if you can't get it mounted, as far as i know, no.. if the drive is fried :\
[19:12] <LeeQ> bastid_raZor: crappitty crap
[19:13] <Accidus> I have a problem with hibernate: When I tell my laptop to hibernate, it seems to be doing everything alright. Then, when I turn it on again, it starts waking up from hibernation, I get a mouse pointer, but then the machine freezes. The pointer won't move. Hibernation used to work when I first installed Ubuntu, but now it no longer works. I should have enough swap space (I have 3GB ram and my swap is 6GB, working on an Inspiron 1545)
[19:13] <shannon> Having a problem on a fully updated hardy install. Every now and then in the middle of a session sound playback completely stops, any player, rhythmbox, mplayer, etc., just shows the progress bar stuck at 0 and no sound plays. Only way to make it play again seems to be to reboot. Searched but can't find anything about this problem. Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?
[19:13] <jemark> tiyowan, i saw this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/252094
[19:14] <zdog291> does any one know how to fix: pci unknown header type 08, ignoring device. I get that error at boot
[19:15] <LeeQ> bastid_raZor: Thank you for the help :-D I am off to buy a new drive :-P
[19:15] <bastid_raZor> LeeQ; they are cheap these days.. 1TB is only 150$
[19:16] <LeeQ> bastid_raZor: yeah, it's really not the cost of the drive I am concerned about... it's the fact that it fried right after I got everything cofigured the way I wanted it (bind, apache, postfix, dovecot, etc) and right BEFORE I backed it up (that was my project for Friday)
[19:16] <tiyowan> jemark: Quick test would be to open up a terminal, "metacity --replace", test, then "compiz --replace" <- Did you try this?
[19:17] <bastid_raZor> LeeQ; ouch, i've had 2 drives fail this year. i know the feeling
[19:17] <tiyowan> jemark: Oh my bad. I thought you were using an ATI card. Sorry!
[19:18] <jemark> tiyowan, ok, no prob
[19:20] <makou> ailean_ did you find a solution to your problem?
[19:20] <ailean_> makou, case is too hot
[19:20] <Cadman21> has anyone ever used k9copy on ubuntu?
[19:20] <tanner> are there any CMS with an easy web gui to manage and organize all your files and such?
[19:21] <jim_p> Cadman21, me.
[19:21] <Kavan> anyone have a "question free" preseed file laying around for ubuntu?
[19:21] <Halitech> Cadman21, not on ubuntu but running it right now on debian as we speak
[19:21] <Kavan> I have a working one for debian etch for a pxe/net install, but I do not have the same for ubuntu....
[19:21] <jim_p> Cadman21, yes it does work. and so is shrinkta, its gtk2 twin
[19:21] <makou> ailean_ not a tough problem, you'll be back in action in no time!
[19:22] <Cadman21> shrinkta does the same thing then?
[19:22] <jim_p> Halitech, have you used shrinkta as well?
[19:22] <ailean_> if thats the prob :)
[19:22] <Halitech> ailean_, if you have a small deskfan, set it to blow across the back of the system to draw the heat out
[19:22] <Halitech> jim_p, no I haven't
[19:22] <Cadman21> jim_p: I need something to rip/copy my DVDs to my harddrive
[19:23] <ailean_> Halitech, i'm thinking of running it without the cover on for a while to check if thats the prob
[19:23] <livebrain> ppl i'm trying to connect to an wireless network but i keep getting this error : "disassociating by local choice reason=3"
[19:23] <livebrain> what does that mean ?
[19:23] <Halitech> Cadman21, do you want exact replicas or just to have them?
[19:23] <Halitech> ailean_, good idea
[19:23] <bastid_raZor> Cadman21; you could use k3b and copy them as an iso
[19:23] <ardchoille> Cadman21: dvd95 is in the repos
[19:23] <Cadman21> ok
[19:23] <user01> does anyone know if you can tag an attachment to an html link?  like like a tag <a href="mailto:astark1@unl.edu?subject=Comments from MailTo Syntax Page">
[19:23] <Cadman21> that will copy any dvd I have?
[19:23] <sheep> .22
[19:24] <Halitech> Cadman21, dvd::rip, acidrip will both rip them into avi files of around 700 meg
[19:24] <sheep> oops
[19:24] <user01> is there an &attachement= switch?
[19:24] <ardchoille> Cadman21: and http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net/ works quite well for me since Gusty
[19:24] <jim_p> Cadman21, well give both a shot and judge yourself then
[19:24] <Cadman21> ok thanks
[19:24] <Halitech> user01, syntex looks right to me
[19:24] <Cadman21> I'll try them out
[19:25] <Halitech> user01, sorry, just caught on to the attachment bit, not sure on that
[19:27] <tropical_dude> Hi there, I can I solve a " wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" error?
[19:27] <tropical_dude> how can i solve..
[19:27] <user01> Halitech, if i do it as a plain link with <a href="file:///\\server\file"> it works
[19:28] <user01> Halitech, but if i do it as part of the mailto comme &attachment="file:///\\server\file" it doesnt
[19:28] <Halitech> user01, I'm not sure, I've never tried something like that before
[19:28] <l337ingDisorder> I'd like to uninstall a program I just installed from source, OpenLDAP, but it doesn't have an option like "make uninstall" as most autoconfs seem to. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I could uninstall it completely?
[19:28] <The_Joe_> Does anyone have a xorg.conf or some other configuration for a GeForce2 MX200? I can't go above 800x600 resolution and install the nVidia drives makes things worse
[19:29] <user01> Halitech, Im trying to figure out an easy way for a template with an attachment to be generated for people
[19:29] <billybigrigger> good day all
[19:30] <techsupport> billybigrigger, yooooooooooooooooooooooo
[19:30] <ardchoille> The_Joe_: here's a copy of my xorg.conf file: http://ardchoille.pastebin.com/m19b24946
[19:30] <techsupport> what is better? ubuntu or linux ?
[19:30] <The_Joe_> ardchoille, Thanks - I'll have a look and mess around with it
[19:30] <MatBoy> mhh, my nvidia xinerama doesn't want to start on 8.10 which was working always on 8.04... PCI settings are OK
[19:30] <user01> Halitech, and some people use thunderbird, other people use outlook
[19:31] <b33r> Hey, how can I make a usb boot from an ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso?
[19:31] <jim_p> does anyone know what video and audio settings i must enter in avidemux in order to recode something to 3gp?
[19:31] <ardchoille> The_Joe_: please ignore the "AddARGBGLXVisuals" , that is only for geforce series 5 and 6 compatibility with compiz
[19:31] <billybigrigger> techsupport, what are the chances you can help me with a GRUB Error 17???
[19:31] <The_Joe_> ardchoille, Ok - will do
[19:31] <Halitech> user01, what about using a webform instead?
[19:31] <The_Joe_> Hmm - I'd best reinstall the nVidia drivers with this
[19:32] <l337ingDisorder> billybigrigger: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945
[19:32] <user01> Halitech, do you have an example?
[19:32] <ALfY-> Question: If my NIC works while booting off a LiveCD, but not on my install, How would I diagnose\compare\repair ?
[19:32] <billybigrigger> l337ingDisorder, thanks, but i tried that...my g3y HP laptop doesn't let me change anything like that in my BIOS, the closest im doing is running the HDD Self test
[19:32] <Halitech> user01, not off the top of my head
[19:35] <Zzeiss> ALfY-: Interesting!!  I had the same problem with Fedora Core 9.  Sadly, I didn't solve it.  :-(  However, you might want to try the restricted drivers, on the off chance that one of them will work.
[19:35] <thiago_sa> i need adjust sensitive the touchscreen...

[19:39] <ogzy> hi, at a ISA server envronment i am able to surf via firefox if i enable network proxy, but if i set the same authorisation info to synaptic i am not able to get authenticated from proxy server, any idea?

[19:41] <b33r> Hey, how can I make a usb boot from an ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso?
[19:42] <enzotib> b33r, usb-creator
[19:43] <The_Joe_> Well the nVidia drivers are installed but my maximum resolution is now 640x400 and I can't seem to force 1024x768 in xorg.conf
[19:43] <b33r> enzotib, doesn't work just says GRUB on boot and nothing else happens :/
[19:44] <DasEi> !usb | b33r
[19:44] <The_Joe_> How can I find the Identifier of my monitor? I think I may have the wrong one in there
[19:45] <DasEi> The_Joe_: Either at it's case / data sheet or take a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:45] <anxiolytic> My pc is sluggish. If I make a new username, it's pretty quick, even with compiz turned on (I currently have it off). I'm not sure what could be causing this on my current account though? My load is always around 1, and no 1 app is taking up too many resources (according to top)
[19:45] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Well any labels are long gone, so I guess it's into the log Igo
[19:46] <rathel> I'm using cygwin to ssh into my other computer and when I use screen everything looks funny how do I fix that?
[19:46] <DasEi> The_Joe_: gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log            , is it  dpmi-capable ?
[19:47] <Cadman21> I download dvdshrink.tar.gz is there a command for the terminal that will install it?
[19:47] <lupine_88> ping?
[19:47] <lupine_88> woo
[19:47] <The_Joe_> DasEi, I'm in there now and I can't find anything about my monitor - give me a couple of minutes
[19:47] <DasEi> !compile > Cadman21
[19:47] <The_Joe_> lupine_88, pong
[19:47] <dr_dasos> i'm currently on a windows box and don't have access to linux at the moment, but where can i fine the dictionary file (usually at /usr/share/dict/words) on the net to download?
[19:47] <lupine_88> irc on phone works :)
[19:48] <lupine_88> now to install linux
[19:48] <DasEi> The_Joe_: you could paste the log, you won't find the brand, but some specs
[19:48] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Ok hang on
[19:48] <The_Joe_> I need to find my Firefox button
[19:48] <The_Joe_> It's impossible to see anything in this tiny res
[19:48] <DasEi> The_Joe_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:49] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Ahh there's a program
[19:49] <DasEi> :D
[19:49] <shannon> Anyone know how I post a new question in the Launchpad Answers thing? I'm logged in, but I don't see how to ask a question
[19:49] <_woli_> Is Intrepid Ibex working perfectly with the DELL XPS 1530 ?
[19:49] <pasquale> hallo!!
[19:49] <mommy> if I add a user to gui0 do they basicly become a user acting like root?
[19:50] <The_Joe_> DasEi, http://pastebin.com/f313fbc09
[19:50] <mommy> *gid
[19:50] <The_Joe_> Wow that command is cool xD
[19:50] <ocRob> mommy: a user with uid=0 and gid=0 is a root user
[19:50] <mommy> would they be exactly like root if they were uid=1000 gid=0?
[19:51] <ocRob> mommy: no because 0 is root's user id (0), that would be a user in the root group (0)
[19:51] <ocRob> mommy: their userid would be 1000
[19:51] <mrpockets> hey fellas
[19:52] <mommy> yes, but when your in the root _Group_ would they have root powers
[19:52] <mommy> thats the question
[19:52] <ocRob> mommy: no
[19:52] <mommy> ok :)
[19:52] <ocRob> mommy: root = uid 0
[19:52] <mommy> thank you ocRob

[19:52] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Ah
[19:53] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Anything you can suggest?
[19:53] <DasEi> The_Joe_:no specs at all ? brand/model ? it's a crt, size ?
[19:53] <The_Joe_> DasEi, I really don't know. It's really old and the only logo on it is "digital"
[19:54] <The_Joe_> By "really old" I mean 7-8 years.
[19:54] <DasEi> The_Joe_:size ?
[19:54] <The_Joe_> In inches? No idea.
[19:54] <The_Joe_> DasEi, But I think it's actual resolution is 800x600
[19:54] <DasEi> The_Joe_:no meter even ?? hoho
[19:55] <The_Joe_> DasEi, I could probably dig one out - but it could be buried under a ton of other things.
[19:55] <DasEi> The_Joe_:39 cm = 17 ""  diagonale
[19:56] <The_Joe_> DasEi, That seems about right looking at it
[19:56] <DasEi> The_Joe_:I could give you the specs of a standard crt
[19:56] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Yeah that could work
[19:56] <Szefo> czesc :D
[19:56] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

[19:58] <Syrj> Hello. How can i bind "Back" function (i.e. previous page in firefox) to my 4th mouse button?
[19:59] <jim_p> Syrj, its some weird xorg.conf setting about the mouse button asignment
[19:59] <jim_p> Syrj, never used it :(
[19:59] <e-head> What method would you guys recommend to install all the non-gpl codecs needed for video playback?
[20:00] <bastid_raZor> !codecs > e-head
[20:00] <jim_p> e-head, the well known one... use the repo!
[20:00] <Syrj> Is there any way to add programs to run at ubuntu startup?
[20:00] <e-head> thanks
[20:00] <e-head> jim_p: the repo?
[20:00] <e-head> I heard of this program called automatrix.
[20:00] <jim_p> Syrj, in System > Preferences > Sessions you can add whatever you wish
[20:01] <Syrj> Ok, thanks.
[20:01] <e-head> But it looks like it is frowned upon by the ubuntu team.
[20:01] <e-head> ubottu: thanks
[20:01] <jim_p> e-head, automatix and all sorts of easy to use tools are just crap
[20:01] <bastid_raZor> e-head; automatrix breaks things in a horrible way
[20:01] <e-head> alright. Enough said.
[20:01] <jim_p> e-head, use the medibuntu repo
[20:01] <e-head> ahh.. thanks.
[20:02] <e-head> then I can just pull it all down with apt-get I assume.
[20:02] <philipp> i got a Monitor with a REAL high resoluthon
[20:02] <philipp> how can i manage that?
[20:02] <jim_p> Syrj, may i ask what is the program you want to add?
[20:02] <lyrae> Howcome some text editors have a vertical grey line across the text area?
[20:02] <Syrj> Pigdin, Kadu
[20:02] <jim_p> philipp, what gpu are you on?
[20:02] <cwillu> Is there anything better than scribus out there?
[20:02] <Syrj> Pidgin*
[20:02] <cwillu> The bugginess of its undo is starting to get to me
[20:02] <jim_p> Syrj, then i guess what you need to do there is straight forward
[20:03] <philipp> gpu?
[20:03] <Cadman21> I'm trying to use the command line to search for packages and I'm getting this error "bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'"?
[20:03] <jim_p> philipp, the output of this          lspci | grep VGA
[20:04] <jim_p> Cadman21, how do you ask it to search?
[20:04] <philipp> jim_p
[20:04] <philipp> jim_p 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [GeForce Go 7400] (rev a1)
[20:04] <jim_p> philipp, do you have the nvidia drivers installed?
[20:05] <philipp> jim_p yes and also nvidia settings
[20:05] <jim_p> Cadman21, the right way is                 apt-cache search somename
[20:05] <philipp> jim_p but i cant choose such a high resolution
[20:05] <thomas_> hi all
[20:05] <DasEi> The_Joe_:mom = moment;  there :  http://paste.ubuntu.com/92376
[20:05] <jim_p> philipp, do you get the extra resolutions in System > Preferences > Screen resolution
[20:05] <jim_p> ?
[20:06] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Ah right - thanks I'll have a look
[20:07] <tyrant> jim_p if you have a nvidia card just use nvidia-settings from the menu under system
[20:08] <philipp> jim_p no
[20:08] <jim_p> philipp, what is the max resolution your monitor can get?
[20:08] <jim_p> philipp, and is it a tft or crt?
[20:08] <philipp> 1152x864
[20:09] <philipp> crt
[20:09] <Syrj> Can i get more than 2 default desktops?
[20:09] <jim_p> philipp, last chance is to make a proper xorg.conf that states all (or just the maximum) resolutions the monitor can get. i can show you mine, but i am not good at crt configuring
[20:09] <jim_p> Syrj, as in expand the desktop on 2 monitors?
[20:10] <philipp> it should have 1920x1200
[20:10] <Syrj> I mean the 2 switchable graphic workspaces
[20:10] <sin360> I'm using 8.04 64bit. Having issues with my wifi can someone help?
[20:11] <DasEi> sin360: I'm not good at wifi, but see :
[20:11] <DasEi> !wifi
[20:12] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Fantastic! Thank you!
[20:12] <hps> Syrj, right click on the workspace applet and click Preferences
[20:12] <DasEi> The_Joe_: nice
[20:12] <Tobias> Hi
[20:12] <Syrj> Cool! Thank you.
[20:12] <DasEi> !hi|Tobias
[20:13] <The_Joe_> DasEi, I didn't actually expect it to be that tiny - but it's a lot better than what I had
[20:13] <hps> Syrj, you'r welcome
[20:13] <The_Joe_> Oh great now it won't change..
[20:13] <DasEi> The_Joe_: which distro? (hardy/ibex) ?
[20:13] <sin360> I've installed madwifi 094 and the drivers are in use from what I can tell by looking at the restricted drivers panel,but I can not see my card when I run ifconfig
[20:13] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Ibex
[20:14] <The_Joe_> DasEi, I made a mistake - I changed to a res between 800x600 and 1024x768 now I can't seem to change res at all
[20:14] <jim_p> sin360, slpci | grep Wireless
[20:14] <jim_p> sin360, lspci | grep Wireless
[20:14] <DasEi> The_Joe_: which graphics card ?
[20:14] <The_Joe_> DasEi, An old GeForce MX200
[20:14] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Oh don't worry - clicking Appearance seemed to fix it
[20:15] <selb> Is there a way to disable the strange slow animation that panel drawers do?
[20:15] <fantomas> hi
[20:16] <fantomas> is there a ubuntu config dialogs for configuring MTA like exim for personal usage (like sendning mail via smarthost and nothing more)
[20:16] <The_Joe_> Uhh what's the command to get Window borders back? I just turned on Normal Desktop Effects - they work but I have no window borders now
[20:16] <fantomas> ?
[20:16] <DasEi> The_Joe_: keep the section of monitor, but (backup xorg.conf before) there is : http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-971103.html
[20:17] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Ok thanks - that seems good. But do you know anything about these disappearing borders?
[20:18] <The_Joe_> That's my main concern right now
[20:18] <Kenny> Is there a program to find out the specs of my laptop running ubuntu 8.10
[20:18] <sin360> jim_p, I see it there but it seems is not loaded. I removed all the drivers before check the restricted drivers panel and everything was gone so I installed the drivers again everything is there now I dont have my wlan0 all I have is eth0
[20:18] <marcelkoopman> hardwareinfo?
[20:18] <marcelkoopman> hwinfo i mean
[20:18] <ardchoille> !hcl
[20:19] <Kenny> is that the command?.. hwinfo?
[20:19] <marcelkoopman> Kenny, yeah i think so, try it
[20:20] <marcelkoopman> Kenny, you can also do lspci if you want to find anything about your pci/apg cards
[20:20] <Kenny> I think it will work.. i just have to apt-get the hwinfo program first.
[20:20] <marcelkoopman> agp i mean
[20:20] <sin360> jim_p, When I use the windows drivers I can see my wlan0 and wicd see's it but it does not work well that I'm trying to usee the madwifi drivers
[20:21] <Kenny> I'll let you know if it works... brb.
[20:21] <marcelkoopman> Kenny, ok
[20:21] <jim_p> sin360, ok i see. but what about what i asked?
[20:21] <Curtis> Merry Christmas to everyone
[20:22] <SSilver2k> are they are any other ways to get the output of a serrial port at a specified speed (4800) other than cu? (and not cat)
[20:22] <zleap> hi
[20:22] <jim_p> merry xmas Curtis
[20:22] <sin360> jim_p, 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[20:23] <zsquareplusc> SSilver2k: sure. depends on what you want to do..
[20:23] <DasEi> The_Joe_: there is a cmd, I just try to find the eyntax, gnome-panel reset or sth
[20:23] <zleap> hi
[20:23] <DasEi> syntax*
[20:23] <SSilver2k> i have a serial gps spitting out nmea text 24/7 and i want to listen to it for a set amount of time
[20:23] <SSilver2k> its spitting otu data at 4800
[20:23] <The_Joe_> DasEi, The trouble is - I can't see anything on my Terminal window O.o
[20:24] <SSilver2k> cat isnt working, but cu -s 4800 -l /dev/ttyS0 is
[20:24] <zsquareplusc> SSilver2k: cat also works after using stty.  and the data? what are you doing with that? post process
[20:25] <SSilver2k> im using php to read in the port for a couple seconds, then disconnecting
[20:25] <zsquareplusc> SSilver2k: if you are a programmer and like python, check out pyserial. that's what i normally use
[20:25] <Kidfork> How cna i transfer files from user to user (on the same computer)
[20:25] <SSilver2k> ive used python for all of two seconds, more of a php / perl kinda guy.
[20:26] <The_Joe_> Yaaay I have a Cube =D  But still no window borders "/
[20:26] <SSilver2k> (not afraid of using python, just have never had any reason to look into it yet)
[20:27] <tyrant> sin360, i think u have to install the madwifi-hal from sources ,there is a howto but i think in german
[20:27] <yaris123456789_> how can i tell how much memory apache is using in total ?
[20:27] <selb> Meh, unhelpful channel is unhelpful
[20:27] <yaris123456789_> selb: tell me about it
[20:27] <zsquareplusc> Kidfork: copy?  depending on permissions other users can look at the files in your home dir. and they can copy them.
[20:28] <ocRob> yaris123456789_: top
[20:28] <DasEi> The_Joe_: I found something, but that will delete your config to default, go to a cmd -line (alt-ctrl_F1) , think before : sudo rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity             , or wait for another response
[20:28] <yaris123456789_> ocRob: yes i know top....but what are the options ?
[20:28] <linxeh> yaris123456789_: unhelpful? wtf?
[20:28] <yaris123456789_> grep | apache ?
[20:28] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Yeah I'd rather not after finally getting this far
[20:28] <sin360> tyrant, I'll try that
[20:28] <yaris123456789_> top -grep | apache ?
[20:28] <ocRob> yaris123456789_: no, just top
[20:28] <yaris123456789_> ocRob: yes, but i just wanna see a total
[20:28] <yaris123456789_> of all httpd processes
[20:29] <linxeh> yaris123456789_: you can do it with ps and the correct flags
[20:29]  * d0lphin_n0el santo e bom natal :)
[20:30]  * d0lphin_n0el saint and good christmas :)
[20:30] <DasEi> The_Joe_: it won't delete your (new) xorg, but all your desktop settings to default, ask again for the command to reset desktop
[20:30] <lw0x15> if i launch a virus via wine
[20:30] <lw0x15> whats gonna happen ?
[20:30] <ocRob> yaris123456789_: ps aux | grep apache
[20:30] <The_Joe_> DasEi, No I'd rather not - besides, I can't even see anything in Terminal
[20:30] <The_Joe_> When I open Terminal it's just a white box with nothing in
[20:30] <The_Joe_> Weird.
[20:30] <Kenny> Ok.. the HWINFO things works really well actually.  It lists 53 devices.  But when I scroll up it will only go up as far as 22.  Is there a command like " /p or -p" to pause while reading in the terminal?  Kinda like DOS has?
[20:30] <SSilver2k> zsquareplusc: thanks, the whole issue was my usb and serial prot were set to a higher baud rate
[20:31] <SSilver2k> stty fixed that.  thanks!
[20:31] <Pienjo> Kenny: add |less
[20:31] <Pienjo> at the end of your command line
[20:31] <Pienjo> press space for next page
[20:31] <DasEi> The_Joe_: but you could boot into safe mode (same with Alt-ctrl  F1)
[20:31] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Who knows? Resetting X might get them back..
[20:31] <The_Joe_> Hang on
[20:32] <ChrisBookwoodEee> Merry Christmas!
[20:32] <DasEi> The_Joe_: if unsure, make a backup of the rm - files before
[20:32] <Pienjo> Does anyone know if it's possible to migrate from -lpia to -i386 ?
[20:32] <Halitech> lw0x15, screw up your wine install
[20:32] <lw0x15>  Halitech nothing else?
[20:32] <Pienjo> lpia is proving to be a liability
[20:32] <Kenny> Hey that works great..  Thanks for all the help and Merry Christmas!
[20:33] <tyrant> sin360, did u find any howto for the madwifi-hal stuff
[20:33] <Halitech> lw0x15, depending on what you launch at most it *might* delete your home folder but thats about it
[20:33] <The_Joe_> DasEi, Nope - no borders.
[20:33] <bastid_raZor> Pienjo; you're talking about kernels? if so you'll have to recompile all the selfcompiled programs and drivers that you manually installed. besides that it should be fairly painless
[20:34] <Pienjo> bastid_raZor: No, I'm talking abot the entire thing
[20:34] <Cadman21> I'm trying to DMA is enabled for my DVD burner with "hdparm /dev/hdd" bash says that no such file or directory. Does that mean I can't us DVD shrink?
[20:34] <sin360> tyrant, I just got the hal I'm just gonna compile and see If I can get it to work
[20:34] <Pienjo> I installed Ubuntu UNR early november, since it was The Best Thing Evah, but it turns out that it was a dead end
[20:35] <Pienjo> there have been no security updates, and it looks like the whole lpia architecture is dead
[20:35] <bastid_raZor> Cadman21; that page is fairly old and some of it isn't needed. skip through
[20:35] <arno-t> hi all you regex experts.  I'd like to remove right brackets ] and hyphens - from a text with sed s/[]-]//g  but is this possible? From what I can see in the documentation of regexes, both ] and - need to be opening the class to be taken literally. Is there a way around this? For now I just run two seds after another..
[20:35] <Cadman21> ok
[20:35] <mon^rch> there are some entries in alacarte that I cannot delete... any pointers?
[20:35] <Kidfork> How do i acess the startup manager in Intreprid Ibex?
[20:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !startup
[20:36] <thomc> HALO 3!
[20:36] <tyrant> sin360, i m very optimistic :)
[20:36] <Gun_Smoke>      wireless freezes machine..... just after the handshake the machine completely locks up.  If I disable the switch, gnome loads fine and remains usable.  I've reinstalled gnome-network-manager and the issue still persists. I suspect the driver or wpa_supplicant.  BCM4311
[20:36] <Onyx> Some day you will die somehow and something's going to steal your carbon.
[20:36] <\\`oot> hi folks
[20:36] <\\`oot> Merry Christmas... quick question
[20:36] <linxeh> arno-t: use \ to escape them (and possibly put the sed string in "" with the -e option)
[20:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[20:37] <The_Joe_> Can anyone tell me a command to get window borders back? I seem to have lost mine after enabling Desktop Effects
[20:37] <\\`oot> every time my kernel updates I have a new option at reboot - how do I get rid of all but the current one please?
[20:37] <Kidfork> When installing something, is it better to sudo it, or to run as root and apt-get (no sudo)?
[20:37] <linxeh> \\`oot: remove the kernel packages you dont want (I guess)
[20:37] <bastid_raZor> The_Joe_; in ccsm turn window decorations on
[20:37] <DasEi>  \\`oot:edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:37] <The_Joe_> bastid_raZor, They are on
[20:38] <Gun_Smoke> restricted drivers manager front ends what? ndiswrapper?
[20:38] <linxeh> DasEi: that still leaves the files around though
[20:38] <arno-t> linxeh, thanks I tried escaping them already. I'll try putting it in -e and quotes.
[20:38] <tempspace> what's the best app to use media sharing with 360's and PS3's these days?
[20:38] <DasEi>  \\`oot:you can configure there, how many titles you want
[20:38] <\\`oot> linxeh: Uhmm... that's not what I mean, how do I actually REMOVE them?  I thought I saw someone suggest an apt-get autoremove option?
[20:38] <QaDeS> mahlzeit :o)
[20:38] <yaris123456789_> hey guys how do i find out how much ram cpanel is using ?
[20:38] <\\`oot> DasEi: No, I actually want to remove the ones I'll never use again... why do they keep piling up?
[20:38] <\\`oot> I'm sure they take up system space (disk space)
[20:38] <bastid_raZor> The_Joe_; turn them off then back on, i tend to not like borders and the opposite happens to me at times. turning them off then on fixes the reverse issue for me.
[20:38] <Jack_Sparrow>  \\`oot they will always stay until you remove them
[20:38] <The_Joe_> bastid_raZor, I've tried that too
[20:39] <\\`oot> Jack_Sparrow: that's my point, HOW?
[20:39] <\\`oot> from Synaptic?
[20:39] <DasEi>  \\`oot:they are located in /boot  , can manually remove them
[20:39] <linxeh> \\`oot: they take up a tiny amount of space really, but are there because an update might fail, you want to be able to select the old one and boot the system still
[20:39] <\\`oot> linux-image-2. ??
[20:39] <linxeh> DasEi: thats not the only place things are...
[20:39] <Flannel> \\`oot: yes, in synaptic, linux-image-[version]
[20:39] <bastid_raZor> The_Joe_; #compiz-fusion may be a better place to ask if you don't get answers here
[20:39] <The_Joe_> bastid_raZor, All right.
[20:39] <Flannel> DasEi: No, removing them manually from /boot is a bad idea
[20:39] <linxeh> DasEi: modules are in /lib/modules/, documentation goes in other places. use the proper tools.
[20:39] <\\`oot> Flannel: How do most people handle it?
[20:39] <Jack_Sparrow>   \\`oot edit the menu list and rm the kernel entries you dont want.. synaptic of any apt-get option you want
[20:39] <Raiders32> has anyone gotten a Canon i70 portable printer to work with Intrepid?
[20:40] <Flannel> \\`oot: by removing the appropriate packages using their favorite package manager
[20:40] <\\`oot> Do you all just let them accumulate?
[20:40] <\\`oot> ok
[20:40] <Flannel> \\`oot: and then clear them out occassionally, yeah.
[20:41] <bastid_raZor> \\`oot; i keep the current and 1 previous version .. for just in case purposes.
[20:41] <\\`oot> Do I "Mark for removal" or "Mark for Complete Removal"??
[20:41] <e-head> Alright... I downloaded a bunch of codecs from the medibuntu repo, and downloaded mplayer.
[20:41] <\\`oot> bastid_raZor: I'm with you, but now I have 7 so... heh
[20:41] <e-head> What is this gstreamer all about? Do I need it?
[20:41] <Flannel> \\`oot: complete removal
[20:41] <Gun_Smoke> When de-activating a driver with restricted drivers manager is it purged as well?
[20:41] <\\`oot> gotta run - Merry christmas

[20:51] <weilawei> hi how to format a disk w/ fat32/vfat ? currently mounted on /dev/sdd and i dont actually know the block device.
[20:51] <weilawei> is there a GUI tool for this included?

[20:52] <zelda> how do i get conky to work now. I installed it and I cant find it anywhere
[20:53] <Bunson> would that be !gparted? for your formatting and disk partion needs
[20:53] <DasEi> zelda:type conky in trml
[20:53] <tiyowan> DasEi: I closed the window because the problem got resolved. It was...Realtek 810 chipset I think. Alfy's problem. The bloke couldn't ping his router. Everything else was a-okay. However, the NIC worked fine off the LiveCD. I'm wondering what could have caused that.
[20:53] <linny> zelda type conky in erminal
[20:53] <Johannes_> can anyone help me?
[20:53] <zelda> Thanks.. DUh! im dumb!
[20:53] <tyrant> zelda , just press alt-f2 and type conky
[20:53] <linny> terminal
[20:53] <bastid_raZor> zelda; this will help too : http://conky.sourceforge.net/docs.html
[20:53] <zsquareplusc> weilawei: gparted
[20:53] <linny> zelda youll need a conky rc

[20:55] <carandraug> nummer9: there's also ID3v2 and APE tags
[20:55] <bastid_raZor> zelda; you'll probably need to install lm-sensors and set that up .. also #conky may be a good place visit
[20:55] <nummer9> okay, ID3, thats what i searched for
[20:55] <Bunson> ..a joke .. take a number .. who are we helping next .. Nummer 9 Nummer 9
[20:55] <zelda> awesome. THanks.
[20:56] <tiyowan> DasEi: Thanks for the info. Perhaps a file in /etc was fubar.

[20:58] <zsquareplusc> s3a: less /var/log/Xorg.log :p
[20:58] <Zoasterboy> Hi, I'm having DVD troubles in Hardy Heron. Neither Totem or VLC will play. I installed libdvdcss2, which allows .VOB files to open with stuttering sound/very messed up video. Anything else I can try?
[20:58] <zsquareplusc> involves searching.. maybe there is a better way
[20:58] <nummer9> .vob?!?!
[20:58] <nummer9> try vlc dvdsimple:///dev/dvd
[20:59] <nummer9> opening .vob directly is generally a bad idea
[20:59] <s3a> zsquareplusc, less /var/log/Xorg.log doesnt work even with root
[20:59] <Zoasterboy> vob is the ext of the DVD files
[20:59] <bastid_raZor> zsquareplusc; have you installed gstreamer and the other codecs?
[20:59] <Zoasterboy> They wont open any other way
[20:59] <idejmcd> need to convert .avi into video for iPod, any suggestions?
[20:59] <nummer9> @idejmcd: use vlc
[20:59] <Me_ToPu>  Hi All , I'm In The House Now ¦ Ðê§HîMîR¢
[20:59] <onetinsoldier> s3a: you made a typo
[20:59] <zsquareplusc> s3a: yes, beause it's /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[20:59] <Zoasterboy> @nummer: I'll give dvdsimple:// a try
[21:00] <idejmcd> nummer9: it converts into iPod?
[21:00] <nummer9> Zoasterboy:  but you should use the "open DVD"-function and not "open file"-->"asdfadjfhdsif.vob"
[21:00] <gsingh> hello
[21:00] <Zoasterboy> Yes I tried, it just results in a crash
[21:00] <nummer9> idejmcd: it converts nearly everything, even M4V
[21:00] <Bunson> xorg.0.long  would be a back up woudnt it ? i am very noob but thought the files sliglty diff were backups
[21:00] <Bunson> log
[21:01] <Zoasterboy> Opening through terminal is revealing lots of errors
[21:01] <onetinsoldier> s3a: try grep drivers /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[21:01] <fde> Bunson: Xorg.0.log is the most recent logs from Xorg... Xorg.1.log would be next etc, this is managed by logrotate
[21:01] <nummer9> @zoaster: press file, then "open media(? i dunno english version)"
[21:01] <Zoasterboy> It looks like libdvdread errors, they're going by quick though. Would saving some of the errors and posting those help debug?
[21:01] <Zoasterboy> ok
[21:01] <idejmcd> nummer9: m4v being the format for ipod? (ireally dunno)
[21:02] <tiyowan> s3a: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep drivers
[21:02] <devil> is there any other rooms here??
[21:02] <Bunson> when you say it like that fde it makes lots of sense .. ty

[21:03] <s3a> onetinsoldier, zsquareplusc, tiyowan, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep drivers and grep drivers /var/log/Xorg.0.log says it's loading my driver but all i want is to simply know if I am using the open source radeon driver or the proprietary fglrx
[21:03] <fde> Johannes_: you mean where apps are minimized to?
[21:03] <Johannes_> yes
[21:04] <Johannes_> and clock...
[21:04] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: ok, i'm curious,why precede the grep command with the cat command there?
[21:04] <fde> Johannes_: You don't have either panel atm?
[21:04] <Johannes_> yep
[21:04] <Johannes_> only the bin
[21:04] <tiyowan> s3a: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
[21:04] <fde> Johannes_: so you see a bar across the bottom, but it only has a trash can?
[21:04] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: Personal preference, really. :)
[21:04] <Johannes_> yes
[21:05] <gsingh> hi fde
[21:05] <onetinsoldier> s3a: what was the response from...  grep drivers /var/log/Xorg.0.log  ??
[21:05] <Johannes_> i closed the panel with the clock, applications.....
[21:05] <gsingh> i've tried this but it won't see it on the network
[21:05] <deaflink> hello
[21:05] <deaflink> /ho is me
[21:05] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: ok, just wondering
[21:05] <deaflink> /ho is me
[21:05] <FloodBot3> deaflink: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:05] <gsingh> when i use the browse function
[21:05] <fde> Johannes_: ok, right click, add panel ... move that to the top or wherever you want... then on that click "Add to panel" and browse through for the things you'd like in it...
[21:05] <fde> gsingh: hi
[21:05] <s3a> tiyowan, lol that's the drivers for keyboard and mouse
[21:06] <Johannes_> hmm ok
[21:06] <s3a> onetinsoldier, (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so
[21:06] <tiyowan> s3a: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf - Look in the driver section. :)
[21:06] <s3a> onetinsoldier, o wait! it says it's loading radeon driver? so im using radeon then and not fglrx, right?
[21:06] <onetinsoldier> s3a: correct
[21:06] <s3a> o thanks :)
[21:07] <bastid_raZor> Johannes_; i think what you're looking for is 'window list' in the add panel options
[21:07] <onetinsoldier> s3a: i can help you get the flgrx driver built as .deb packages
[21:07] <Johannes_> fount everything
[21:07] <Johannes_> now i have to put all things back again
[21:07] <fde> Johannes_: obvious ones are Notification Area, Clock, Window List, etc
[21:07] <s3a> onetinsoldier, no thanks, it's okay, the open source one hasn't given me a problem but I am just filling a compiz specific bug and needed to include those

[21:13] <bastid_raZor> Johannes_; glad to help out :)
[21:13] <lucax> how do i restore usplash defaults?
[21:13] <hischild> idejmcd, vlc doesn't use codec packs.
[21:13] <Slart> idejmcd: I don't think vlc uses codecs.. or it has it's own codecs built in
[21:13] <n000bler> Im having difficulty trying to get the screen resoulution on my 42" sharp monitor to appear properly, any help
[21:13] <MatBoy> what can be wrong when the nvidia X server settings don't see my second graphical card ?
[21:14] <fde> Slart: It uses codecs, mostly from the mplayer project

[21:15] <MatBoy> lucax: yep did that, didn't work
[21:15] <MatBoy> mhh, now is root on LVM gone :S
[21:16] <fde> Slart: Its no different from any other video or audio player on Linux... apt-cache show vlc
[21:16] <MatBoy> lucax: or install 8.04 and update ?
[21:16] <Slart> idejmcd: uhm.. I have no idea.. I didn't even think vlc could use external codecs... I've got some man reading to do
[21:16] <hischild> Slart, it can, but usually it doesn't.
[21:16] <lucax> MatBoy: that wont help... can u describe the problem?
[21:17] <hlfshell> tiyowan - sorry got pulled away
[21:17] <idejmcd> fde: E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-restriected-extras
[21:17] <onetinsoldier> typo there

[21:17] <hlfshell> tiyowan -  no it says a debug issue and then points to a particular paranethesis in some file......i think my python is screwed up honestly
[21:18] <hlfshell> tiyowan - cause i have trouble running scriptsi k new work now too...... so im pretty sure my python is screwed up.

[21:19] <syamajala> hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu, but i can't launch the installer
[21:19] <BobPenguin> I'm installing ubuntu on a friend's box. His got an old celeron 750 machine. What would be the lightest linux distribution to install? I would need something that would stand in a good light compared to the win98 already installed in the box
[21:19] <syamajala> i booted the cd and there is a menu, but when i select install ubuntu nothing happens
[21:19] <Slart> hmm.. I guess I misunderstood the "It doesn't need any external codec or program to work" to mean that vlc had it all "built-in".. but it seems it uses all kinds of external stuff... well well.. something new, every day
[21:19] <tiyowan> hlfshell: Thanks. Checking.
[21:20] <hlfshell> thanks tiyowan.
[21:20] <hischild> BobPenguin, ubuntu will do just fine. And if it's really to heavy, you can install xubuntu on the fly there.
[21:20] <onetinsoldier> BobPenguin: plain debian
[21:20] <zsquareplusc> BobPenguin: i'm usually happy with standard ubuntu. if the box has 5120MB RAM. otherwise you may want to try xubuntu
[21:20] <hlfshell> BobPenguin - i'll second xubuntu
[21:20] <timholum> I am having problems routing in ubuntu 8.04, i done the following echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward also edited /etc/sysctl.conf and added net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 then did /etc/init.d/networking restart and /etc/init.d/procps restart yet it still does not route trafic? any ideas
[21:21] <Slart> timholum: you ran the first command as root, right?
[21:21] <MatBoy> lucax: I can't get X not started using xinerama, compiz is already off. What I also had was that 8.10 failed on the intel HDA
[21:21] <timholum> correct
[21:21] <zsquareplusc> timholum: so you set the other machines gateway to the one with the forward?
[21:21] <timholum> i am root
[21:21] <PolitikerNEU> hmm ... maybe a small linux distribution like puppy linux or dsl would do the job better? Xubuntu is rather "fat" so I don't think it is usable on an old machine like that
[21:21] <Slart> timholum: because it can be kind of tricky to use with sudo..
[21:21] <alinet> hay guys
[21:21] <alinet> mary Xmas
[21:21] <syamajala> even if i select try ubuntu nothing happens
[21:22] <BobPenguin> hischild, zsquareplus, I did already install ubuntustudio and changed gnome for xfce, but the box is still too slow. Would a clean install of xubuntu be faster?
[21:22] <Slart> timholum: I'm not sure if you need to setup some iptables rules just for general routing.. are you following some kind of howto?
[21:22] <timholum> yup, and doing a tracert from the other computers ( on both sides ) they all stop at the ubuntu server
[21:22] <onetinsoldier> alinet: hi, merry christmas
[21:22] <zsquareplusc> BobPenguin: probably not. how much RAM does it haev?
[21:22] <tiyowan> hlfshell: Try sudo aptitude update, then sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[21:22] <BobPenguin> zsquareplus, its got like 350 ram
[21:22] <hischild> BobPenguin, ubuntu-studio is much heavier then ubuntu.
[21:23] <lucax> MatBoy: i dont know about xinerama, but i have intel hardware and hda as well... whats exactly the problem with sound? did u try using alsa insted of pulse?
[21:23] <timholum> i looked on line and thoughts are the only two commands i found unless i want to do nating which i dont
[21:23] <zsquareplusc> BobPenguin: that should work. it may help if you stop all unneded services.
[21:23] <syamajala> hmm
[21:23] <syamajala> it doesn't look like any of the options in the bootloader actually do anything
[21:24] <hlfshell> tiyowan - done. testing it now
[21:24] <hlfshell> same error tiyowan
[21:24] <BobPenguin> ok, gonna try a clean xubuntu install (gee, some more work...) thanks a lot zsquaceplusc and hischild!
[21:24] <tiyowan> hifshell: Ok hang on.
[21:24] <hischild> BobPenguin, that's what we're here for.
[21:24] <Solarium> Good evening guys, i again come with a question :)
[21:24] <timholum> i also checked and ufw is not enabled
[21:24] <BobPenguin> hey, would fluxbuntu be lighter?
[21:24] <syamajala> only the boot from first hd option works
[21:25] <syamajala> anyone else have this problem with the ubuntu cd?
[21:25] <Solarium> A friend of mine wants to try ubuntu as well, but for him its improtant to be able to use .net framework and sharp c, is it possible to run those in ubuntu ?
[21:25] <Slart> Solarium: take a look at mono
[21:25] <Solarium> c sharp*
[21:25] <MatBoy> lucax: it just hangs on it when I enable HDA in the bios
[21:25] <Solarium> Slart,  thanks man looking
[21:26] <hischild> BobPenguin, it might, but it's not an official distro.
[21:26] <hlfshell> tiyowan -any idea?
[21:26] <BobPenguin> thanks a lot hischild. Going back to the box now!
[21:26] <Solarium> Slart,  ahh looks about right, thanks again
[21:27] <tiyowan> hifshell: Wait one, please.
[21:27] <CoJaBo-Dell> Does anyone know what the "Basic Ubuntu server" option means in the server setup?
[21:27] <hlfshell> tiyowan - ok
[21:27] <Jeruvy> what is the command to add a gateway so that DNS is passed along to it?  route add gw x.x.x.x default ?
[21:27] <lucax> MatBoy: /etc/X11/xsession.d/70pulseaudio move that file to /root and then select alsa in system preferences sound and try again
[21:27] <tiyowan> hifshell: Did you upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid? Or is this a fresh install?
[21:28] <hlfshell> hardy to intrepid.
[21:28] <Slart> Solarium: you're welcome
[21:28] <MatBoy> lucax: it hangs during booting
[21:29] <lucax> MatBoy: then u should see if something in the motherboard is broken, it doesnt have anything to do with ubuntu
[21:29] <Grasputin> Jeruvy: check this out, it should help you.... http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-route-add/
[21:29] <tiyowan> hlfshell: I cannot find a lot of information, but this appears to be a debian-related bug tagged as "serious", http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486516. Perhaps a fresh install would eradicate the problem?
[21:30] <hlfshell> tiyowan - can't fresh install. it would take me FOREVER to get everything back the way i want it :-/
[21:30] <Jeruvy> Grasputin: I did that but no DNS
[21:30] <hlfshell> oh well - thanks anyway :-/
[21:30] <hlfshell> thanks for the help :-)
[21:30] <hischild> hlfshell, what's exactly the issue?
[21:30] <syamajala> i'm having trouble running the installer
[21:30] <tiyowan> hischild: http://pastebin.com/m224c3f2
[21:31] <Grasputin> jeruvy: what exactly are you trying to do, just setup a dns server, route dns queries over a specific interface, etc?
[21:31] <syamajala> the cd boots, but just sits at the bootloader menu
[21:31] <hlfshell> hischild - I get this error when I run system-config-printer
[21:31] <syamajala> selecting one of the options in the bootloader doesn't do anything
[21:31] <hlfshell> :
[21:31] <hlfshell> hischild -http://pastebin.com/m224c3f2
[21:31] <Jeruvy> Grasputin: auto-config does not work on my network.  I can manual config, get an IP add the gateway, but no DNS
[21:31] <Grasputin> syamajala: might need to reburn the ISO at a lower speed, same thing happened to me when I burned mine @ 48x
[21:31] <hlfshell> also, hischild, all my old python code doesnt work anymore
[21:31] <TimS> BBC iPlayer client for Mac and Windows is out!
[21:31] <hlfshell> and it definately did at some point
[21:32] <Grasputin> jeruvy: I think I understand ya. You can ping things by IP, but nothing else right?
[21:32] <hischild> hlfshell, there's some more apps that run on python, might be that python in general is bad?
[21:32] <Jeruvy> Grasputin: that is correct
[21:32] <Grasputin> have you tried just dhclient eth0.....?
[21:32] <tiyowan> hifshell: You could try reinstalling the python packages...but I don't really know the relevant packages you'd need to go about reinstalling.
[21:32] <hlfshell> what app, hischild, can i use to test that theory?
[21:33] <Jeruvy> Grasputin: no, isn't that autoconfig'ing?
[21:33] <hischild> hlfshell, how about python itself?
[21:33] <bah> is us.archive.ubuntu.com slow or something?
[21:33] <Halitech> Jeruvy, what does your ifconfig look like?
[21:33] <fwaokda> I keep seeing this shortcut bar on these os x screen shots is there something identical to this I can get for ubuntu?
[21:33] <hlfshell> hischild - python runs
[21:33] <hlfshell> import debug doesn't work though
[21:33] <Jeruvy> Halitech: ifconfig looks ok
[21:33] <hischild> hlfshell, did you fully upgrade?
[21:33] <Halitech> Jeruvy, does it show any dns servers?
[21:33] <hlfshell> hischild, is there a way to not fully upgrade? or check to see if i did?
[21:33] <tiyowan> bah: I've had that complaint earlier today.
[21:34] <Jeruvy> Halitech: just the gateway
[21:34] <energY> spaceinvader: Doh, this isn't the ubuntu channel...
[21:34] <energY> Can I rip dvd's using ubuntu?
[21:34] <hischild> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade <--- this ought to upgrade your current distro
[21:34] <Halitech> Jeruvy, if its not showing any dns servers then you need to add dns server info
[21:34] <hischild> hlfshell, ^
[21:34] <Joke> gg
[21:34] <eternaljoy> is there a pgp for ubuntu?
[21:34] <Halitech> energY, yes
[21:34] <XFCEntral> fwaokda: at the bottom of the screen?
[21:34] <Jeruvy> Halitech: could you provide a syntax?
[21:34] <eternaljoy> !pgp
[21:34] <eternaljoy> !gpgp
[21:34] <hlfshell> hischild - i am fully upgraded, as that really didnt install anything new.
[21:35] <energY> Halitech: Can you point me in the rigth direction?
[21:35] <Jeruvy> !gpg
[21:35] <eternaljoy> is there a pgp encryption for ubuntu?
[21:35] <fwaokda> XFCEntral, no im sorry its the one at the left of the screen in most of these screenshots
[21:35] <hischild> hlfshell, that was including the update?
[21:35] <hlfshell> hischild - yes i ran that command first
[21:35] <Halitech> Jeruvy, would be nameserver 192.168.0.1 (if thats your router) plus you may want to add the dns of your isp as well
[21:35] <hlfshell> hischild - wait
[21:35] <harry__> how to mount cd
[21:35] <Halitech> energY, acidrip, dvd::rip
[21:35] <hlfshell> hischild - all the repositories are labeled as hardy-updates
[21:35]  * Kar1na les desea feliz navidad
[21:35] <eternaljoy> Jeruvy, ahh thanks, its gpg, not pgp on Ubuntu :)
[21:35] <hischild> hlfshell, and you are running .... intrepid?
[21:36] <energY> Halitech: Acidrip returned a lot of veird colour on my simpsons dvd
[21:36] <Jeruvy> Halitech: awesome I'll give it a go, thanks.  And thanks to Grasputin
[21:36] <hlfshell> hischild- now im confused. whats the quickest way to check
[21:36] <tiyowan> hifshell: :D Pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list?
[21:36] <hlfshell> hischild - i could have sworn this machine was intrepid
[21:36] <XFCEntral> fwaokda: do you have a link to a picture showing that?
[21:36] <hischild> hlfshell, lsb_release -a
[21:36] <hlfshell> http://pastebin.com/m2e131763 for sources list
[21:37] <hlfshell> release 8.10 intrepid
[21:37] <Halitech> energY, could be protection on the dvd
[21:37] <fwaokda> XFCEntral, yes once second i'll find one
[21:37] <Halitech> Jeruvy, you can also use OpenDNS as well
[21:37] <XFCEntral> fwaokda: thank you
[21:37] <hischild> hlfshell, the joy!
[21:37] <onetinsoldier> harry__: mount /media/cdrom
[21:37] <MatBoy> lucax: yep, will check it :)
[21:37] <hlfshell> hischild - ???
[21:37] <hang3r> is there a common bug in knetworkmanager that will cause it to randomly not work?
[21:37] <tiyowan> hifshell: Your sources.list has the hardy repos. :/
[21:37] <Halitech> Jeruvy, check here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6270283&postcount=12
[21:38] <hischild> hlfshell, copy your sources.list to a safe location, change ALL references from hardy to intrepid, then update. This ought to give you many more updates as your sources.list is out of date .
[21:38] <hlfshell> ok - this will take a minute. brb hischild
[21:38] <antares> hello everyone i've got a slight problem please anyone help ;) ... I just got myself an wifi usb dongle and installed rt73 drivers for it...works great, injects while in monitor mode etc... but when i try to use an usb extension cable.. my Ubuntu 7.10 doesn't recognize the dongle... ???? why?
[21:38] <Jeruvy> Halitech: ya nameserver 'command not found'.  I'll check the link
[21:38] <Halitech> antares, could be a bad cable
[21:38] <onetinsoldier> hlfshell: you can do what hischild says with one sed command, let me know if you want it
[21:38] <Halitech> Jeruvy, ok
[21:38] <tiyowan> hischild: Isn't that odd that the sources.list didn't get changed automatically? Bad upgrade process, maybe?
[21:38] <antares> the weird thing is when the cable is pluged in... ifconfig doesn't work...
[21:38] <hang3r> I had the same problem with gnomes network manager, setting a static ip addresss resolved the issue, however setting a static ip address with knetworkmanager still wont work
[21:39] <hischild> antares, wlan dongles need a VERY stable transfer rate. Using an extension cable breaks down the signal.
[21:39] <antares> Halitech: i just bought it
[21:39] <fwaokda> XFCEntral, i'll brb then i'll grab the link
[21:39] <hlfshell> onetinsoldier - how do you do that?
[21:39] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: I'd like to see the cmd. :)
[21:39] <Halitech> antares, doesn't mean its not a bad cable
[21:39] <antares> hischild: i know... but...it should work? i mean...isn't there any "good" cable?
[21:40] <antares> i got it with my wlan dongle
[21:40] <Jeruvy> Halitech: I don't want to modify the dhcp.conf, just manually config.  (livecd)
[21:40] <hischild> onetinsoldier, hlfshell, yup u can. cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/sources.list.bak && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | sed s/hardy/intrepid/g > ~/sources.list.new && sudo cp ~/sources.list.new /etc/apt/sources.list      onetinsoldier, please confirm.
[21:40] <ito> hi. I have a quick question. where can I find the log that is created when i try to hibernate my computer
[21:40] <ito> >
[21:40] <hischild> antares, some dongles are more sensitive to extension cables then others .
[21:40] <antares> hischild:  i want to place the dongle on my window so i can get better signal.. if it's pluged in directly... bad
[21:41] <Flannel> hischild, onetinsoldier: That's not how you should be upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid
[21:41] <onetinsoldier> hlfshell and tiyowan: cd /etc/apt --> sudo -i(not sure if just sudo will be ok or not, so sudo -i) then...    sed sources.list 's/hardy/intrepid' > sources.list.new
[21:41] <Halitech> Jeruvy, then it would be /etc/network/interfaces you want to edit
[21:41] <onetinsoldier> Flannel: he's already upgraded
[21:41] <hischild> Flannel, we're aware of that. lsb_release -a gives intrepid, sources are hardy.
[21:41] <Flannel> He's likely got another sources.list in /etc/sources.list.d/
[21:41] <tiyowan> hischild, onetinsoldier: This is *good* info. Gracias. :)
[21:41] <Flannel> with Intrepid stuffs, if he'll pastebin his output of sudo apt-get update, we can verify.
[21:42] <onetinsoldier> Flannel: apparently there's a question of whether his 'entire'(perhaps customized) file has been completely switched to intrepid
[21:42] <antares> hischild: but why would they give you a cable with the dongle if it's not compatible??
[21:42] <sisif> Hello guys. I know this will be a LAME question but, from where can I toggle what icons I get on the desktop ?
[21:42] <hischild> antares, beats me
[21:42] <antares> should i take it back?
[21:42] <antares> buy a new cable?
[21:42] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: :-)
[21:42] <hischild> Flannel, good point. Let's see.
[21:42] <Luomeng> hi people
[21:42] <Flannel> tiyowan: Please pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get update` (ideally, before you ran that command)
[21:42] <hischild> hlfshell, sudo apt-get install pastebinit | sudo apt-get update | pastebinit
[21:43] <hischild> hlfshell, uhm make that first pipe a &&
[21:43] <XFCEntral> sisif: its called Configuration Editor. ill pull up a how to link for you
[21:43] <aldur2008> hi all
[21:43] <aldur2008> anyone know how to install ubuntu on a machine with hardware raid?
[21:43] <sisif> XFCEntral : thank you
[21:43] <tiyowan> Flannel: Sorry?
[21:43] <onetinsoldier> hlfshell: then...  cp -v sources.list sources.list.old && cp -v sources.list.new sources.list
[21:44] <hlfshell> ????
[21:44] <XFCEntral> sisif: its a pretty quick change but here you go: http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg10t16.htm
[21:44] <onetinsoldier> hlfshell: and tiyowan doh! i made a mistake!!
[21:44] <Luomeng> i have a question about ubuntu on the Samsung NC10. The instruction guide tells me to type in "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid" into terminal to install the latest wifi drivers, but it doesn't work. Help!
[21:44] <antares> hischild:  i've been banging my head in to this all day...and in the end...nothing ;(
[21:44] <Flannel> tiyowan: run `sudo apt-get update`, then go to patse.ubuntu.com and paste the output of the command there (then hit submit, and give us the URL)
[21:44] <onetinsoldier> hlfshell and tiyowan:    sed sources.list 's/hardy/intrepid/' > sources.list.new
[21:44] <akahige2> ever since I upgraded to Intrepid, my video performance is totally borked. is there a way to revert to the Hardy version of xorg, or am I stuck having to revert everything to Hardy?
[21:44] <tiyowan> Flannel: Why would I do that, mate? :) I haven't got any problem.
[21:45] <sisif> XFCEntral : ok, got it from repos. I just can`t remeber what was the app called :)
[21:45] <aldur2008> !bot raid
[21:45] <Joelito> hi all, what's the apt|aptitude param to avoid installing suggestions?
[21:45] <aldur2008> !raid
[21:45] <onetinsoldier> Flannel: hello, i have something to say if you care to hear it ;-)
[21:45] <J-_> How can I change from spatial mode into browse mode?
[21:45] <XFCEntral> sisif: ahhhh. enjoy, i think the GNOME desktop looks nice with those icons
[21:45] <hlfshell> i ran update with the new list, and am running upgrade now
[21:45] <Joelito> for example I just want php5, not apache2* as php5 "suggest"
[21:45] <hlfshell> it says there are 11 new packages to install
[21:45] <hlfshell> so im letting it do its thing....
[21:45] <koala_man> how do I install an older kernel version?
[21:45] <Luomeng> how do i wifi drivers for samsung NC10
[21:46] <tiyowan> hlfshell: Cross your fingers. :) You might not have to reinstall, after all. Good thing hischild's on.
[21:46] <tiyowan> !wifi > Luomeng
[21:46] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: did you see my correction?
[21:46] <aldur2008> got a question then start with ! then the keyword for results and the bot will help
[21:46] <aldur2008> !wifi
[21:47] <hlfshell> hopefully tiyowan....
[21:47] <BlackcrdT> wats upp
[21:47] <aldur2008> !kernal
[21:47] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: *nod* Duly noted, sir.
[21:47] <BlackcrdT> im lookn for CC
[21:47] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: ok, cool
[21:47] <BlackcrdT> any one know wat im talkn
[21:47] <BlackcrdT> ??
[21:47] <BlackcrdT> msg me
[21:47] <FloodBot3> BlackcrdT: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:47] <hlfshell> is there any other commands i should run now that my sources.list is properly update?
[21:47] <Joelito> any one?
[21:47] <BlackcrdT> CC
[21:47] <aldur2008> apt-get update
[21:48] <nukem2525> is anyone aware of a program that allows you to catalogue your movie collection, preferably one that runs on a LAMP server?
[21:48] <ito> hi. I have a quick question. where can I find the log that is created when i try to hibernate my computer
[21:48] <dewente> how to be  a good linux administrator
[21:48] <tiyowan> hlfshell: You ran sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade right?
[21:48] <Halitech> nukem2525, gcstar I think its called, its in the repos
[21:48] <hlfshell> yes tiyowan
[21:48] <akahige2> can I revert the Intrepid version of Xorg to the Hardy version?
[21:48] <hlfshell> is there anything else i should do when upgrade is over?
[21:48] <hischild> akahige2, no.
[21:49] <hischild> hlfshell, check if what was broken before is still broken.
[21:49] <tiyowan> hifshell: I don't think so. :) Take a crack at printer config again and see if it works now?
[21:49] <hlfshell> well hischild the good news i s i just saw it install a few python updates, os hopefully that means it will be fixed afterall....
[21:49] <Flannel> onetinsoldier: Of course
[21:49] <akahige2> hischild: thanks. so if my video is borked, my option is basically to reinstall Hardy?
[21:49] <Jeruvy> Halitech: no go.
[21:49] <hlfshell> well its still upgrading.....
[21:49] <nukem2525> Halitech: Thanks
[21:50] <hischild> hlfshell, might take some time, just let it run
[21:50] <Halitech> Jeruvy, not sure then but it should be getting the info somewhere
[21:50] <allsystemsarego> akahige2, run this command "grep -i Accel /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and post the result
[21:50] <J-_> !spatial
[21:50] <Halitech> nukem2525, if you can't find gcstar do a search on video collection and I think you should find it
[21:50] <Jeruvy> Halitech: ya this issue has me borked.  The installed ubuntu's autoconfig ok, but the livecd's refuse
[21:50] <hlfshell> Alright - tiyowan hischild onetinsoldier - i am going to let the upgrade run and get me some dinner. Thank you very much for all your help! happy holidays everyone!
[21:51] <akahige2> allsystemsarego: got no output
[21:51] <nukem2525> Halitech, I found it with a google search
[21:51] <Halitech> Jeruvy, and all connecting to the same router/ISP?
[21:51] <atomicfreeze> hello
[21:51] <Jeruvy> Halitech: yep
[21:51] <Halitech> nukem2525, ok, I used it previously and it was nice, even connected to imdb to get info for you
[21:51] <allsystemsarego> akahige2, don't just give up, google for "intrepid sluggish video"
[21:51] <Halitech> Jeruvy, strange
[21:52] <Jeruvy> Halitech: I think it hates my network :)
[21:52] <onetinsoldier> Flannel: i had a 'newb' come here yesterday that wanted to upgrade from hardy to intrepid, but couldn't seem to do it the usual way. (update manager?). someone told them that a major upgrade like that is not supported on an LTS release through the update manager or something to that effect. do you know about this?
[21:52] <Halitech> Jeruvy, must be a MS product on there somewhere influencing it ;)
[21:52] <akahige2> allsystemsarego: it's not sluggish. if I'm doing anything, xorg chews up >75% of my cpu
[21:53] <Jeruvy> Halitech: lol.  I think it's the /20 network I'm using that the livecd autoconfig isn't agreeing with.
[21:53] <Flannel> onetinsoldier: With LTS releases, you need to go to software sources, and choose that you want all (non-LTS) stable upgrades.  There' three options actually.  One is just LTS, the other is non-LTS (or, 'every' release) and the last is don't notify me, if I remember correctly
[21:53] <Flannel> onetinsoldier: That way if you're on Hardy, you can choose to wait for 10.04 before being asked about upgrading
[21:53] <Halitech> Jeruvy, that could be it
[21:54] <onetinsoldier> Flannel: so i told them that, as a former plain old debian user that had upgraded from stable to unstable a few times, i knew how to do it manually. so, they went for it with my sed command, and then did a dist-upgrade. it worked fine for them... just an fyi
[21:54] <allsystemsarego> akahige2, ok, then google for "site:bugs.launchpad.net intrepid xorg CPU performance"
[21:54] <Flannel> onetinsoldier: There's nothing saying manually won't work fine.  You just have to make sure you have the proper metapackages installed (ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-standard, an appropriate kernel metapackage, and their appropriate -desktop metapackage, if applicable)
[21:55] <akahige2> allsystemsarego: done that. all of the bugs -- including the one that I filed -- are sitting in launchpad marked "confirmed undecided"
[21:55] <Jeruvy> Halitech: so how do I tweak the routes around to make this work?  It has IP and I get add the gateway so getting DNS shouldn't be that hard ;)
[21:55] <aldur2008> anyone know anything about RAID?
[21:55] <Flannel> onetinsoldier: update-manager just makes sure everything is in order, and does some other sanity checks and things like that for added safety
[21:55] <ishan> hello everybody..just needed some help. Can anybody help me with editing the sudoers file. I want to run a command 'poff' without requiring the password when it is run with sudo. any idea what should i enter in the sudoers file??
[21:55] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: fyi, I think I read somewhere on the ubuntu site that a fresh install is *preferred* to an upgrade.
[21:55] <allsystemsarego> akahige2, ok, then I don't know what to recommend :(
[21:55] <Halitech> Jeruvy, I think you will need to edit the dhcp.conf file I mentioned earlier to add the name servers
[21:56] <onetinsoldier> Flannel: ok, i'll keep tha in mind. i did look over both their hardy and the new sources.list files before i had them do the dist-upgrade to try to determine if anything looked out of pplace.. look good to me so i said go for it
[21:56] <akahige2> allsystemsarego: I appreciate your ideas, though.  if I can't revert xorg to the hardy version (which worked just fine), then I guess I'm going to have to revert the whole thing to hardy
[21:56] <ishan> could anybody help me in editing the sudoers file
[21:57] <ishan> i needed some help in editing the sudoers file..anybody??
[21:57] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: yeah. i usually fresh install myself. but, in regular old debian, lot of times the sid(unstable) installer does not work, and you only choice is to install stable, the dist-upgrade to unstable
[21:57] <mavsman> What is a good icon set I can use to mimic xp?
[21:58] <ishan> anybody who could help me in editing the sudoers file??
[21:58] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: then dist-upgrade*
[21:58] <zertyui`> hi 2 all
[21:58] <aldur2008> I've a machine wiht 3 drives in hardware raid mandriva sees it as a single drive but ubuntu doesn't any ideas
[21:58] <Halitech> ishan, why do you need to edit it?
[21:58] <zertyui`> is there anyone ihere ?
[21:58] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: Gotcha. :)
[21:58] <zertyui`> hello
[21:58] <Halitech> zertyui`, no we are all figments of your imagination ;)
[21:58] <zertyui`> is there anyone hiere ?
[21:58] <ishan> Halitech, i need to use the command pon and poff without the need to enter the password.
[21:58] <eternaljoy> how can I watch youtube?  it says no flash in firefox
[21:59] <allsystemsarego> mavsman, http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2008/11/make-linux-look-like-windows-xp-with.html
[21:59] <aldur2008> !flash
[21:59] <Halitech> ishan, you should already be in the sudoers file
[21:59] <zertyui`> is it possible to install ubuntu on web server ?
[21:59] <Halitech> zertyui`, yes it is
[21:59] <zertyui`> how do u connect to that server ?
[22:00] <zertyui`> if the answer is yes
[22:00] <Halitech> zertyui`, what server?
[22:00] <jedi06> how do you copy a directory into another directory?
[22:00] <zertyui`> the ubuntu web server
[22:00] <dewente> one of the most frequent job as linux administrator is working with a websever ?
[22:00] <Flannel> ishan: It'd be better to just make another user alias for all of your users (since there are 'users' on your machine that aren't actually users, you probably won't want them being able to disconnect you)
[22:01] <Halitech> zertyui`, open a web browser and point it at the IP address or the domain name of the server
[22:01] <onetinsoldier> jedi06: cp -R <dir> <dest_dir>  ..now wait up a sec
[22:01] <zertyui`> incase if u what to reboot the server how do u do ?
[22:01] <tiyowan> dewente: The linux documentation project has some good resources that you might find interesting.
[22:01] <zertyui`> incase if u what to reboot that web server how do u do ?
[22:01] <Halitech> zertyui`, depends on if you have the rights to do that
[22:01] <jedi06> onetinsoldier wait up a sec?
[22:01] <XFCEntral> zertyui`: you can connect to your ubuntu server and run commands using SSH
[22:01] <onetinsoldier> jedi06: do you really want this dir into a destination dir? or just the files form the first dir into the destination dir?
[22:01] <mavsman> zertyui` thanks big dog
[22:02] <onetinsoldier> from*
[22:02] <zertyui`> i want to use as i use my home linux pc
[22:02] <jedi06> ontinsoldier the whole dir is fine
[22:02] <Halitech> XFCEntral, depends on if SSH is enabled on the server
[22:02] <dewente> tiyowan, where is it /
[22:02] <XFCEntral> Halitech: i would ;)
[22:02] <onetinsoldier> jedi06: ok, the what i showed you should be fine...  use cp -Rv to see ouput during the command if you want
[22:03] <Halitech> XFCEntral, if it was my server at home I would as well but most hosting companies disable SSH
[22:03] <ChrisBookwoodEee> what options should i define for a sd-card, when i want to add it to fstab? I get the error "*** is not a block device"
[22:03] <tiyowan> dewente: tldp.org
[22:03] <Tr0gd0r2> what command can I type from ssh to find out my drive size?
[22:03] <mn> I used cp -r /mnt/disk /mnt/disk1 and edited GRUB's menu.lst, mtab, and fstab to make the new partition (/mnt/disk1 device is /dev/sda3) kind of work.  I can GUI log in (i used chown -R username:root / to enable this) but it logs me in as username@localhost, so I can't use anything administrative.  When I try to sudo whatever it says it must be setuid.  What can I do to correct this?
[22:03] <zertyui`> sorry
[22:03] <RabidWeezle> is it possible to upgrade from gutsy to intrepid?
[22:03] <RabidWeezle> or do I need to jump to hardy first?
[22:03] <Halitech> zertyui`, then you need to download and install the server edition and make sure you enable SSH
[22:03] <Flannel> ishan: RabidWeezle you'll have to upgrade to Hardy first, yeah
[22:03] <XFCEntral> Halitech: he wants to use it like his linux box at home, apparently. in this case im sure it isnt headless, so System > Reboot or the equivalent should do fine...
[22:03] <RabidWeezle> ty
[22:04] <zertyui`> is there any provider who give that facility N
[22:04] <gorgapor> why is there no installation candidate for python3-profiler?
[22:04] <dewente> tiyowan, i am in there... now what link ?
[22:04] <hischild> mn, the chown command screwed it all up for you. There's no way to fix this, as you've broken pretty much all the permissions on the files.
[22:04] <zertyui`> ?
[22:04] <zertyui`> install ubuntu on web server ?
[22:04] <ChrisBookwoodEee> what options should i define for a sd-card, when i want to add it to fstab? I get the error "*** is not a block device"
[22:04] <Halitech> XFCEntral, yeah, makes it hard to know what they want when they don't ask a single question that has all the info and makes sense
[22:04] <KenBW22> does anyone know a way i can get Hardy's theme on Intrepid?
[22:04] <ishan_> Halitech, sorry i lost connection..anything that you could do??
[22:05] <XFCEntral> Halitech: right, so far im a bit confused..
[22:05] <mn> hischild: before i did this, I couldn't log in at all!  it said nothing could write to $HOME.  Do I need to format the drive and re-cp everything?
[22:05] <tiyowan> dewente: The entire site, mate. You need to do a lot of reading, and get experience. Can't become a system administrator in a day. :)
[22:05] <XFCEntral> zertyui`: would you like to install Ubuntu on a web server you already use?
[22:05] <mn> s/drive/partition
[22:05] <mn> s/partition/drive*
[22:05] <hischild> mn, that for starters. You should copy with the maintain file permissions.
[22:05] <zelda> hey whats the red power button called in ubuntu?
[22:05] <ChrisBookwoodEee> what options should i define for a sd-card, when i want to add it to fstab? ave tried with "defaults" but I get the error "*** is not a block device"
[22:06] <Halitech> ishan_, <Flannel> ishan: It'd be better to just make another user alias for all of your users (since there are 'users' on your machine that aren't actually users, you probably won't want them being able to disconnect you)
[22:06] <dewente> tiyowan, i know that. therefore, linux jobs are well paid
[22:06] <hischild> mn, use cp --preserve
[22:06] <Halitech> XFCEntral, you aren't alone there
[22:06] <zertyui`> no i simply want to use a web server which is running 24 hours
[22:06] <odder> the question has been surely asked in here, but: does anybody have any idea how to fix the broken flashplugin-nonfree package?
[22:06] <zertyui`> where i want to install ubuntu on it
[22:06] <zertyui`> is it possible
[22:06] <zertyui`> ?
[22:06] <tiyowan> !flash > odder
[22:06] <MatBoy> mhh, I have serious issues with LVM, wierd, root fails... seems to be a bug again :S
[22:07] <Flannel> zertyui`: You mean a server someone else owns?
[22:07] <zertyui`> if yes is it possible to use that web server as we can use a home pc
[22:07] <ishan_> ok.
[22:07] <zertyui`> installling software
[22:07] <mn> hischild: ok, I will try that.  I have to reboot onto a liveCD because I am on the partition I want to copy, but I will be back after this is done.
[22:07] <ishan_> but still i am not able to solve my problem..
[22:07] <Flannel> zertyui`: Yes.  However if someone else owns it, you likely won't be able to do that.
[22:07] <zertyui`> reboot the pc etc
[22:07] <onetinsoldier> odder: what version and architecture of ubuntu are you running?
[22:07] <Halitech> zertyui`, google search for LAMP + Ubuntu
[22:07] <ChrisBookwoodEee> what options should i define for a sd-card, when i want to add it to fstab? have tried with "defaults" but I get the error "*** is not a block device"
[22:07] <ishan_> is there anybody who has some experience editing the sudoers file
[22:07] <jack--> hi. http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/i386/libsqlite0-dev/download doesn't work - all mirrors give me a 404. what should i do now?
[22:08] <zelda> anyone know?
[22:08] <tiyowan> jack--: Feisty is EOL.
[22:08] <allsystemsarego> !lamp | zertyui`
[22:08] <odder> onetinsoldier: I'm using Intrepid, amd64; flashplugin has broken todaay after a suggested update
[22:08] <XFCEntral> zelda: what the red button is called? you mean the name of the image file?
[22:08] <jack--> tiyowan: i know. still using it anyway. old computer.
[22:08] <zelda> I mean the red button in the top right you click to shutdown the computer or log off?
[22:08] <Flannel> ishan_: Yes?  Yes, you don't mind having an alias in sudoers listing people you want to use pon/poff?
[22:08] <MatBoy> mhh, weird, 8.10 is a pain it looks to me, I'm going to install 8.04 again
[22:08] <MatBoy> see what it brings
[22:08] <hausmeister> hello
[22:09] <zertyui`> thx Halitech
[22:09] <ito> hi. I have a quick question. where can I find the log that is created when i try to hibernate my computer
[22:09] <Halitech> zelda, the log off button?
[22:09] <tiyowan> zelda: You need to point your sources.list to old-releases.ubuntu.com I think. Google for info.
[22:09] <Org-Mode> MatBoy: you make it sound as if thats a bad thing
[22:09] <onetinsoldier> odder: i can get that fixed... first and most important thing though, is tomake sure you do not have any kind or version of flash hanging around on your system
[22:09] <tiyowan> zelda: Oops. Sorry.
[22:09] <XFCEntral> zelda: yes, i see. what do you mean by 'its name?'
[22:09] <archan89> Merry Christmas everyone. Anyone that could help me getting a Dlink DWA-140 usb dongle working on 8.04?
[22:09] <zelda> yeah
[22:09] <jack--> tiyowan: is there not a single mirror anymore that could have feisty debs?
[22:09] <zelda> i removed that from the panel, and I want it back
[22:09] <tiyowan> jack--: You need to point your sources.list to old-releases.ubuntu.com I think. Google for info.
[22:10] <Seveas> jack--, old-archive.ubuntu.com
[22:10] <Flannel> jack--: feisty is EOL and you really should upgrade.  You can use old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu in order to get up-to-date for the upgrade to gutsy
[22:10] <jack--> ok, thx. :)
[22:10] <MatBoy> Org-Mode: yes it seems so, I thought it didn't had any issues, but it has on LVM for sure
[22:10] <Jeruvy> Halitech: ok ifconfig is giving me a valid IP shows " inet addr:192.168.1.10 Bcast:192.168.5.255 Mask:255.255.255.255"  That mask looks funny to me.
[22:10] <odder> onetinsoldier: hm. okay, it think I've found the answer. As the broken package version is 10.0.15.3ubuntu1~intrepid1
[22:10] <onetinsoldier> odder: let me know if you need help uninstalling any type of flash you might have on there
[22:11] <odder> ... I think installing a previus version would fix the problem?
[22:11] <Halitech> Jeruvy, hmmmm, yeah usually it would be 255.255.255.0 ... although your bcast looks odd as well to me
[22:11] <Jeruvy> Halitech: thats ok.  the bcast is correct
[22:11] <zelda> How do I add that button back to the panel.
[22:11] <zelda> ?
[22:11] <Halitech> Jeruvy, ok, if you say so :)
[22:12] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: That mask is odd.
[22:12] <Halitech> zelda, right click the panel and add button then go through the list to find the log off button
[22:12] <chazco> Hi... does anyone know the correct way to make changes in nvidia-settings remain after reboot? I have a projector connected via AV (but not always) and would like to keep it configured...
[22:12] <Jason_WT> what is te command to run something from the terminal
[22:12] <Jason_WT> ?
[22:13] <onetinsoldier> odder: what is the output of...  dpkg -l '*flash*' | awk '/^ii/ {print $2}' ...?
[22:13] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Mask ought to be 255.255.255.0
[22:13] <BCM43> Jason_WT: just do the name of the aplicaion
[22:13] <Halitech> Jason_WT, what do you want to run?
[22:13] <javier> ksynaptics is not longer in kubuntu 8.10... is there a replacement for it?
[22:13] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: ya I figured that, but I'm not sure how to change it
[22:13] <thomas_> INFO : I sell design for your website for 100 to 200€
[22:13] <Slart> Jason_WT: ehh.. just the command itself.. if you want to run gedit you run.. gedit.. or am I misunderstanding something
[22:13] <thomas_> or 300$
[22:14] <Slart> thomas_: wrong place.. very wrong place
[22:14] <Jason_WT> it is a .run file
[22:14] <thomas_> wrong place ? why ?
[22:14] <thomas_> you don't like web site ?
[22:14] <zelda> Thanks
[22:14] <BCM43> Jason_WT: naveigate to the folder and do ./filename
[22:14] <Slart> thomas_: this is a support channel for ubuntu
[22:14] <XFCEntral> thomas_: not a place to advertise
[22:14] <thomas_> i know, its forbidden why i do ?
[22:14] <Slart> thomas_: so either you ask or answer questions about ubuntu support
[22:14] <thomas_> ah ok, sorry
[22:14] <Halitech> Jason_WT, you need to make it exacutable then depending on what it is, sudo sh nameoffile.run or maybe not with sudo
[22:14] <Luomeng> Really nooby question here, but how come ubuntu won't let me set up a wired internet?
[22:15] <Luomeng> i pluged in the ethernet cable
[22:15] <Jeruvy> Halitech: tiyowan: my installed ubuntu for instance shows "inet addr: 192.168.1.11 Bcast: 192.168.5.255 Mask: 255.255.254.0
[22:15] <archan89> Anyone that had any idea on how to make a Dlink DWA140 functional?
[22:15] <Luomeng> and it wont connect
[22:15] <BCM43> Luomeng: do you get errors?
[22:15] <Luomeng> no
[22:15] <Luomeng> it just says that it won't connect
[22:15] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Now that subnet mark is definitely wrong.
[22:15] <BCM43> Luomeng: does it try to connect?
[22:15] <tiyowan> er, mask.
[22:15] <Luomeng> yes
[22:15] <BCM43> Luomeng: and what happens?
[22:15] <Jason_WT> BCM43: thanks, i typed \ instead of /
[22:15] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: thats the auto-configure :)
[22:16] <Luomeng> and it tries to get an ip address for like 2 minutes
[22:16] <BCM43> Jason_WT: lol
[22:16] <Halitech> Jeruvy, its not wireless is it?
[22:16] <hischild> tiyowan, why is that mask wrong?
[22:16] <Luomeng> and then it just kinda says it can't connect
[22:16] <Jeruvy> Halitech: no pure copper :)
[22:16] <Jason_WT> is there also a way to run if as sudo from the gile manager think, like mycomp, like run as root
[22:16] <onetinsoldier> odder: hello?
[22:16] <Halitech> Jeruvy, ok, blows that idea
[22:16] <BCM43> Luomeng: have you tried another cable?
[22:16] <Luomeng> um no
[22:16] <Luomeng> only 1
[22:16] <tiyowan> Hmm.
[22:17] <Luomeng> do you think it could be the cable's fault?
[22:17] <archan89> Jason_WT, "gksudo nautilus" that should open the file manager in su mode
[22:17] <BCM43> Luomeng: it might be that. Other than that, it could be whatever you are plugging it into, or it could be ubuntu.
[22:17] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: whats funny is that it works.
[22:17] <nibsa1242> anyone know if there is a way to copy the config for pulse from a working installation to an instillation that isn't working?
[22:17] <Luomeng> okay
[22:17] <Flannel> Jason_WT: be extremely careful with that, and close it as soon as your done.  What are you trying to do that you need super user in a GUI?
[22:17] <Luomeng> what happens if its ubuntu
[22:17] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Could you provide some details on your network please? How many machines? LAN?
[22:17] <BCM43> Luomeng: is another computer connected to it?
[22:18] <Luomeng> yes
[22:18] <BCM43> the internet that is
[22:18] <Luomeng> and it works fine
[22:18] <BCM43> ok
[22:18] <BCM43> try swithcing the cables
[22:18] <Org-Mode> !enter
[22:18] <Luomeng> okay
[22:18] <Luomeng> ill brb
[22:18] <perhamlinux> hi guys.
[22:18] <perhamlinux> I need an advice.
[22:18] <Luomeng> cause ubuntu is on this computer too haah
[22:18] <nibsa1242> Pulse/ audio will run just fine from the live cd or from a fresh Ibex install... but if I let the system update, I get no sound.
[22:18] <BCM43> Org-Mode: I know, sorry.
[22:19] <Jason_WT> Flannel: i am just not used to prompts, and am more gui
[22:19] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: the network has 3 subnets, 1.x 2.x and 3.x  Router configured for /20 and bcast is ok at 5.255, numerous machines many os's etc.  The problem affects livecd's only.
[22:19] <ito> can anyone tell me where i can find the hibernate log in ubuntu
[22:19] <Flannel> Jason_WT: right, but what sort of administrative activities are you doing?
[22:19] <perhamlinux> I wanna buy a usb wireless modem. what brand / chip you suggest that works best and straightforward with linux?
[22:19] <BCM43> Jason_WT: use gksudo
[22:19] <hischild> Jeruvy, from what i'm reading so far from your problem, your DHCP server almost seems to hand out wrong data to one of your subnets.
[22:20] <BCM43> perhamlinux: DON'T get a broadcom
[22:20] <archan89> Anyone in here got any experiences with RAlink 2870 chipsets?
[22:20] <onetinsoldier> darkfuzion: hello and merry christmas!
[22:20] <Jason_WT> i was installing the vbox additions and they need to be ran as root
[22:20] <perhamlinux> BCM43: anything else works fine?
[22:20] <BCM43> Jason_WT: use gksudo
[22:20] <Jeruvy> hischild: I would have assumed that also, except it does get a valid IP
[22:20] <BCM43> perhamlinux: no, but stay away from that one. Unless you want to spend days getting it to work.
[22:20] <darkfuzion> onetinsoldier halppy holiday and Merry Christmas to you
[22:20] <hischild> Jeruvy, i'm not saying it hands out a wrong IP. Type route and check if the default GW is correct.
[22:21] <onetinsoldier> darkfuzion: thanks :-)
[22:21] <Jeruvy> hischild: I added the route manually, otherwise it is non-existant
[22:21] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Hmm...my instinct would be to check the router config.
[22:21] <odder> onetinsoldier: sorry, something odd happened with my ubuntu (i'm sshing into here through an other computer)
[22:21] <hischild> Jeruvy, please, could you check if it is correct?
[22:21] <onetinsoldier> odder: ok
[22:21] <perhamlinux> BCM43: thanks. what brand works out of the box?
[22:21] <odder> onetinsoldier: the output is (null) -- nothing
[22:21] <Jeruvy> hischild: will do
[22:21] <archan89> Anyone that had any idea on how to make a Dlink DWA140 functional?
[22:22] <onetinsoldier> odder: ok, how about   dpkg -l '*flash*' | awk '/^iF/ {print $2}'  ...?   ..and dangit, i'm being called away for a minute.
[22:22] <hischild> Jeruvy, From my point of view, it seems logical to check every step of the way. route is one of these.
[22:23] <bluntz> fixed myself -grab display was not broken- it was stolen by motion I think,after killing it TV capture works again!!!!wooooooohooooooo!!!!!
[22:23] <odder> onetinsoldier: still nothing, i've got no flashplugin installed in here, removed it a couple of minutes ago
[22:23] <tiyowan> hischild: Mask for 192.168.1.x, 2.x, 3.x, ought to be 255.255.255.0 right?
[22:23] <Jeruvy> hischild: I'm in agreement there.  Ok, router config looks ok.  dhcp client DNS is pointing to the gateway
[22:23] <odder> onetinsoldier: looks like the intrepid package is broken, as it was working till I've updated it
[22:23] <XFCEntral> archan89: ive found the driver i think you will need for your Dlink DWA-140, finding more out
[22:23] <hischild> tiyowan, yes

[22:24] <KenBW22> is there a way to export a theme?
[22:24] <ito> can anyone tell me where i can find the hibernate log in intrepid ibex?
[22:24] <hischild> Jeruvy, route is a client command, giving you a default gateway and other info. Not the router, that would have been a step bit ahead.
[22:24] <bluntz> HOHOHO merry Xmas to ME!!!!!!
[22:24] <hischild> Jeruvy, if i sum your problem up, you can't reach internet on the liveCD, correct?
[22:25] <BCM43> perhamlinux: d-link dwl-g12  seems good
[22:25] <imaginativeone> how do I adjust the audio?
[22:25] <BCM43> imaginativeone: what about the audio?
[22:25] <perhamlinux> BCM43: thanks pal. merry christmas
[22:26] <BCM43> perhamlinux: marry christmas to you too.

[22:26] <Luomeng> it says trying to get a network address
[22:26] <BCM43> Luomeng: ok, the it is most likely ubuntu
[22:26] <darkfuzion> !chriastmas
[22:26] <imaginativeone> thanks
[22:26] <Luomeng> okay
[22:26] <darkfuzion> !christmas
[22:26] <Luomeng> so how can I fix it?
[22:26] <bluntz> imagine doubleclik speaker
[22:27] <onetinsoldier> odder: ok, lets try to find the flash if there is any. but i am wondering. you say a package is broken?
[22:27] <hischild> !ot | darkfuzion
[22:27] <darkfuzion> DUUUUH STUPID
[22:27] <onetinsoldier> odder: what happens with  apt-get -f install   ?
[22:27] <hischild> darkfuzion, please don't do that here.
[22:27] <darkfuzion> hischild beat off
[22:27] <BCM43> Luomeng: run lspci and put the result in pastebin
[22:27] <Luomeng> okay
[22:28] <KenBW22> is there a way to export a theme?
[22:28] <Luomeng> but im on xp right now
[22:28] <Flannel> darkfuzion: Please keep this channel on topic, thanks.
[22:28] <Luomeng> cause im trying to dual boot my NC10
[22:28] <darkfuzion> it was on topic
[22:28] <Luomeng> so how do i paste it
[22:28] <odder> onetinsoldier: definitely. I've installed it about two weeks ago and flash broke; I was so lucky to have an older version in /var/cache/apt/ and installed it; however, today I don't have it anymore and flash no longer works
[22:28] <brujo> !games
[22:28] <darkfuzion> go f yourself
[22:28] <BCM43> Luomeng: not much I can tell you but go back
[22:28] <onetinsoldier> odder: what happens with  apt-get -f install   ?
[22:28] <kolby> I need help setting one of my soundcards to default.
[22:28] <BCM43> darkfuzion: please stop
[22:28] <hischild> darkfuzion, it was not on topic. This is a support channel. Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[22:28] <kolby> I have two soundcards and I want one of them to be efault
[22:28] <darkfuzion> wishing you a merry christmas
[22:28] <MilesCom> odder: type man aptitude
[22:28] <darkfuzion> so fuck yourself
[22:29] <XFCEntral> ???
[22:29] <bluntz> one tin think it forces version
[22:29] <odder> MilesCom: thanks for a great help
[22:29] <coeus82> lol, hit and run
[22:29] <Luomeng> okay
[22:29] <mortuis99> is there a way to access manage multiple machines from a single machine?
[22:29] <odder> MilesCom: that would definitely help me
[22:29] <hischild> Flannel, thank you.
[22:29] <Luomeng> i guess ill post it on uBuntu forums for help
[22:29] <brujo> kolby, maybe in system-> preferences ->sound
[22:29] <Luomeng> thanks anyways
[22:29] <brujo> you can chose the Card
[22:29] <kolby> brujo, I'll look there
[22:29] <archan89> XFCEntral, the driver you found, was it the RA2870 drivers?
[22:30] <brujo> kolby, tellme if was useful
[22:30] <XFCEntral> archan89: yes, i came across that myself
[22:30] <onetinsoldier> bluntz: it should help me determine if he actually has a packages who's install is 'broken'
[22:30] <bluntz> ahh
[22:30] <archan89> Well, it does detect it now, the network manager just won't consider it as a network card..
[22:30] <bluntz> slik
[22:30] <kolby> brujo, my problem still exists
[22:31] <brujo> kolby, what problem?
[22:31] <kolby> brujo, I think that should have worked though...
[22:31] <odder> onetinsoldier: ok, flash works
[22:31] <odder> onetinsoldier: just a question: what does the -f do?
[22:31] <kolby> brujo, defferent applications use different soundcards
[22:31] <onetinsoldier> odder: you sure? ok   -f  ...means 'fix'
[22:31] <x-ip> am i here ?
[22:31] <MilesCom> odder: it displays the file format
[22:31] <x-ip> seems i'm ^.^''
[22:32] <hischild> x-ip, yes you are.
[22:32] <kolby> I want all my applications to use just one of my soundcards.
[22:32] <odder> MilesCom: go to the hell
[22:32] <BCM43> x-ip: yes you are
[22:32] <brujo> kolby, why don't unload modules of one of them?
[22:32] <onetinsoldier> MilesCom: with apt-get? no.. -f means 'fix'
[22:32] <hischild> !attitude | odder
[22:32] <NicEXE> I changed a setting on compiz and I can no longer login using GNOME session (it crashes right after the desktop icons are displayed) is there any way to disable compiz on Gnome (probably) using Gnome failsafe (terminal)?
[22:32] <odder> MilesCom: forgot the ubuntu code of conduct?
[22:32] <kolby> brujo, that's not a permanent change right?
[22:32] <odder> hischild: heh, cool :/
[22:32] <fwaokda> XFCEntral, sorry for the wait someone was at the door... here is a screen shot the panel/bar is on the left. http://www.jeremyperson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/kevinrosedesktop.jpg
[22:33] <brujo> kolby, you can uninstall one card or remove modules from starting
[22:33] <Guest68914> hi
[22:33] <XFCEntral> archan89: looks like this is the rt2870 thread -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766850
[22:33] <kolby> brujo, I'll try that.
[22:33] <ito> can anyone tell me where i can find the hibernate log in intrepid ibex?
[22:33]  * kolby uses lsmod
[22:33] <archan89> thanks, I'll check it out XFCEntral, brb :)
[22:33] <fwaokda> XFCEntral, is it just the mac osx dock aligned to the left of the screen? and if so will awn do that to the left of the screen?
[22:34] <alchemist22> i am adding the line 'ishan ALL
[22:34] <NicEXE> I changed a setting on compiz and I can no longer login using GNOME session (it crashes right after the desktop icons are displayed) is there any way to disable compiz on Gnome (probably) using Gnome failsafe (terminal)?
[22:34] <earthmeLon> I've got my server mounted through ssh/sftp and for a while I was able to download small files to it easily from Firefox.  Now, Firefox seems to crash whenever I save a file there.  I wasn't having this problem a while ago.  Any suggestions?
[22:34] <Alex-Hopper> WOW
[22:34] <odder> onetinsoldier: thanks for your help. I am bit puzzled about this, as I tried many other ways to fix the flash. Any ideas why the update of the flash broke it?
[22:34] <bluntz>  -f  Attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place
[22:34] <bluntz>  This APT has Super Cow Powers
[22:35] <darkfuzion> some people i swear are arrogant
[22:35] <Flannel> darkfuzion: please take it elsewhere
[22:35] <alchemist22> i am adding the line 'ishan ALL:NOPASSWD ./reset_connection' where ishan is the user to my sudoers file and it doesnt work..any suggestions
[22:35] <odder> bluntz: hm. okay :-)
[22:35] <Flannel> alchemist22: You're the one with the poff/pon thing?
[22:36] <onetinsoldier> odder: no, not certain. but as far as i know, to get flash working properly in 64-bit userspace, you have to download the flash beta from adobe and manually  install it
[22:36] <bluntz> hehe always thought it was force...learnin alot just hangin here
[22:36] <XFCEntral> fwaoda: yes, you seem absolutely right. just a different allignment. AWN should be able to do the same
[22:36] <alchemist22> Flannel, yeah..sorry my internet has been giving me some problems..so i keep on disconnecting...sorry..
[22:36] <tiyowan> !flash64 > odder
[22:36] <Guest68914> hi
[22:36] <Flannel> alchemist22: No problem. Be sure to edit your sudoers with visudo (`sudo visudo`) and then the following lines will work: http://paste.ubuntu.com/92440/
[22:36] <XFCEntral> archan89: no problem, let me know if that helps
[22:36] <onetinsoldier> odder: if it's working for then great. perhaps you have some kind of 32-bit wrapper installed or something
[22:36] <onetinsoldier> for you*
[22:36] <Flannel> alchemist22: Where user1, user2, user3 are the users you want to give access to, etc.
[22:37] <darkfuzion> flannel really cant you really get a life and just let someone say happy holidays
[22:37] <odder> tiyowan: I know how to install flash; I'm only thinking why the update broke the package in question
[22:37] <alchemist22> Flannel, ok thanx..ill give it a try..
[22:37] <MilesCom> darkfusion stop talking
[22:37] <Flannel> darkfuzion: If you have an issue with the administration of this channel, please take it to #ubuntu-ops
[22:37] <IdleOne> what is the path to java?
[22:37] <Flannel> IdleOne: type 'which java'
[22:37] <tiyowan> odder: My bad, mate. :)
[22:37] <darkfuzion> i dont have any issue it doesnt say anywhere that you cant be nice
[22:38] <odder> onetinsoldier: yeah, I've got ndiswrapper installed, nothing special, just the system-proposed way
[22:38] <onetinsoldier> odder: the installer script might have a bug or something
[22:38] <x-ip> i was i guess :S
[22:38] <odder> tiyowan: ok, no problem :-)
[22:38] <IdleOne> Flannel: trying to run a .sh and it is asking for the path to java. the script has /bin/java set as default
[22:38] <odder> onetinsoldier: maybe I'll fill a bug report, then? :-)
[22:38] <onetinsoldier> odder: or maybe you found a new bug
[22:38] <MilesCom> darkfuzion you're not being nice this issue is over, if you don't have something relevant to say don't say anything
[22:38] <Flannel> IdleOne: 'which java' will give you the path.  I don't know if itd be that, or /usr/bin/java, but which will let you know
[22:39] <nickrud> darkfuzion, you can discuss channel policy regarding profanity in #ubuntu-ops if you like
[22:39] <onetinsoldier> odder: the installer scripts are known as 'preinst' scripts
[22:39] <IdleOne> Flannel: lol I realised that after I explained. thanks
[22:39] <odder> onetinsoldier: ok, i'll look the launchpad over; maybe anyone else got the same problem. Anyway, thanks for the help :-)

[22:42] <alchemist22> Flannel, is there something conflicting here..
[22:42] <Rey> Hi all!!
[22:42] <Rey> anyone from Brazil?
[22:42] <Flannel> !br | Rey
[22:42] <Flannel> alchemist22: Please pastebin your sudoers, and I'll take a look
[22:43] <Rey> I dont need help yet!
[22:43] <alchemist22> Flannel, sure..although is pretty default
[22:43] <bluntz> anyone know why a shell script will work when ran in place but fail in cron?
[22:43] <cdavis> dovecot isn't starting at boot, what do I have to do to change that?
[22:43] <cdavis> Seems like a dpkg-reconfigure or something liek that?
[22:44] <XFCEntral> bluntz: permissions issue perhaps? also check that script is placed where cron can execute it. two things i can think of
[22:44] <Rey> Why the linux comand "shutdown" dont turn the machine off like the same comand in windows do?
[22:44] <alchemist22> Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/92443/
[22:45] <MilesCom> rey: dos is not unix
[22:45] <Halitech> Rey, you need to give it a time
[22:45] <cdavis> Rey, because windows isn't linux?
[22:45] <darkfuzion> linux and windows have different commands
[22:45] <Rey> i know
[22:45] <cdavis> Rey, shutdown -h
[22:45] <bluntz> mv to crons path,good id
[22:45] <NicEXE> GNOME does not start... How can I disable compiz using Gnome terminal? (metacity --replace does not work for me... is only a temporary setting that goes to default right after I logout)
[22:45] <Rey> i know that comand
[22:46] <cdavis> Rey, what is your question then
[22:46] <hischild> Rey, shutdown -h <time>
[22:46] <Flannel> alchemist22: put the user alias thing up where it says user alias.  And try making PPPOE all capitalized.  Um, unfortunately my time is up.  However the sudoers man page is extremely extensive (with examples), you maybe able to find what you're looking for there.
[22:46] <nickrud> cdavis, did you set it up? /usr/share/doc/dovecot* (one of those doc dirs) has a couple things you need to setup
[22:46] <bluntz> Im thinkin absolute paths in script prolly need set too
[22:46] <XFCEntral> bluntz: that could help
[22:46] <bluntz> lemmee c
[22:46] <Rey> this comand in linux just shutdown the system but the machine still runing
[22:46] <cdavis> nickrud, yes it runs fine but after a reboot I had to /etc/init.d/dovecot start
[22:46] <Flannel> alchemist22: Ah yeah, it may be the PPPoE thing, I think names need to be all capitalized
[22:46] <onetinsoldier> cdavis: i don't know much about dovecot, but is the script in /etc/init.d there?   ls /etc/init.d/dovecot
[22:47] <onetinsoldier> cdavis: ok. i see you got it
[22:47] <MilesCom> rey, you mean it's supended or hibernating
[22:47] <nickrud> cdavis, check /etc/rc2.d/* , see if dovecot is listed.
[22:47] <alchemist22> Flannel, ok...thanx for all the help...
[22:47] <Rey> in window otherwise the machine is really turned of
[22:47] <Jeaton> do most phones use fat32?
[22:47] <alchemist22> Flannel, lets hope it works...
[22:47] <Halitech> Rey, maybe it doesn't know to actually power off because of acpi or some other setting
[22:47] <Rey> suspend
[22:48] <nickrud> cdavis, stepping away for a few minutes, be back
[22:48] <cdavis> nickrud, yes it is there, that means it failed to start for some reason, I will check my logs. thanks
[22:48] <MilesCom> rey, can your system shutdown when you use the interface?
[22:49] <kolby>  I want to remove I module I'm using right now.  What file do I edit to make sure it's not loaded when I reboot?
[22:49] <alchemist22> Flannel, u were right...it worked...all i needed to do was to capitalize PPPOE..
[22:49] <onetinsoldier> cdavis: the 'update-rc.d' command might help you out. look at the man page for it
[22:49] <hischild> kolby, you add it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[22:49] <blaster> hi all
[22:49] <kolby> hischild, thanks
[22:49] <onetinsoldier> !welcome | blaster
[22:49] <tstaerk> hi, what do I do instead of chkconfig in ubuntu ?
[22:49] <blaster> anyone usig the acer aspire one?
[22:50] <NicEXE> GNOME does not start... How can I disable compiz using Gnome terminal? (metacity --replace does not work for me... is only a temporary setting that goes to default right after I logout)
[22:50] <Rey> maybe in next kernel the shutdown comand work like waited
[22:50] <MilesCom> blaster, the aspire one has a good config manual on the ubuntu wiki, if something isn't working
[22:51] <onetinsoldier> tstaerk: ubuntu does have chkconfig. you just need to install the chkconfig package
[22:52] <onetinsoldier> tstaerk: also see the 'update-rc.d' command
[22:52] <Reformer81> Does anyone know if it is possible to "Copy [a] track to collection" in Amarok 2? This was simple in Amarok 1, but seems missing in 2.0.

[22:53] <mib_z8lrq4> how do i grant myself read and write permissions to an external drive?
[22:53] <un_dave> could someone tell me if it's possible to get my ubuntu laptop to sleep for a few hours, and then if i dont use it, it will auto hibernate? at the moment, it wont hibernate unltil the battery is critical.
[22:53] <testestes> mib_z8lrq4 : what kind of external drive you have
[22:54] <testestes> the format
[22:54] <NicEXE> is there any configuration file for compiz?
[22:54] <nibsa1242> Pulse/ audio will run just fine from the live cd or from a fresh Ibex install... but if I let the system update, I get no sound. Is there a way to copy the config to the live session to my existing install?
[22:54] <mib_z8lrq4> testestes: the partition is unalloacated
[22:55] <x-ip> Oh hai samferry!
[22:55]  * x-ip Waves at samferry
[22:55] <tiyowan> nibsa1242: Try going to System -> Admin -> Sounds and changing to ALSA?
[22:55] <testestes> so you have to format it first, i think
[22:55] <x-ip> Oh hai BoomShaka!
[22:55]  * x-ip Waves at BoomShaka
[22:55] <tiyowan> nibsa1242: System -> Pref. -> Sound, sorry.

[22:56]  * tiyowan thanks nickrud.
[22:56] <nibsa1242> tiyowan: I've done that. I suspect its a kernel issue, but I don't know for sure... Other people with the same 'card' (its a laptop) don't have the issue, but other people with Gateways and the same 'card' do have the issue.

[22:57] <jack--> stupid question: for upgrading from feisty to gutsy, is it sufficient to dl the gutsy-i386 iso? does that have an "upgrade" option?

[22:57] <unop> nickrud, are you capable of introspection? :)
[22:57] <BoomShaka> so i just dloaded jets_demo.run (some game demo) how exactly do i run this fiule?  i did a chmod u+x but i still cant execute it.... any suggestions?

[22:57] <Raza11> Hey

[22:57] <nickrud> unop, no
[22:57] <zleap> did you put ./ before the file name when running
[22:58] <zleap> or what error are you getting exactly
[22:58] <dnyy> I .deb for linux mint will work just as fine for ubuntu, right?
[22:58] <BoomShaka> nope, let me try that
[22:58] <napnap> 1287 users ? no, this chan is never empty ... <:
[22:58] <unop> dnyy, there's no guarantee of that
[22:58] <tiyowan> nibsa1242: There's a really good thread on the forums related to pulseaudio...hang on.
[22:58] <nickrud> dnyy, possibly, possibly not.
[22:58] <BoomShaka> zleap, thanks seems to be running now
[22:58] <mib_z8lrq4> dnyy: linux mint is amazing
[22:58] <zleap> np
[22:58] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: hey, what format is your drive, and how are you trying to mount it ?
[22:58] <dnyy> unop: hrm, well the linux mint forums is the only place i can find an urban terror deb.  I'm not sure if it's made strictly for mint or not. :/
[22:58] <unop> dnyy, the packages on mint could be named differently - and satisifying them on ubuntu could prove difficult
[22:59] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: hey! the drive is unallocated formatt and I just plugged it into the computer and let it do the mounting
[22:59] <gverig> for gnome environment, what's the most standard (if there is such a thing) way to work with openGL/keyboard/etc? glut/sdl/other?
[22:59] <dnyy> unop: ah, well back to searching then. thanks. :p
[22:59] <jack--> stupid question: for upgrading from feisty to gutsy, is it sufficient to dl the gutsy-i386 iso? does that have an "upgrade" option?
[22:59] <unop> dnyy, you could always try manually installing the package to see if it works - that won't cause you damage
[22:59] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: so it's an unformatted drive?
[22:59] <ardchoille> dnyy: what are you searching for?
[22:59] <dnyy> ardchoille: The new Urban Terror, 4.1

[23:00] <ardchoille> When I run the Report A Problem app, it results in a message: "This problem report is damaged and cannot be processed". Is this a known issue? Is this supposed to be a gui app?
[23:00] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: I used it as a backup drive for my mac
[23:01] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: i can take a screen for you if you want
[23:01] <MatBoy> DasEi: ?
[23:01] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: ok, well it's likely its in osx format, or fat32 or something like that
[23:01] <DasEi> MatBoy:didn#t you search that trigger ?
[23:01] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: maybe but gparted just says unallocated
[23:02] <nibsa1242> tiyowan: thanks, I've followed one of those threads, but it didn't work. Maybe this is another one...
[23:02] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: if you type 'mount' at the command line, you should see the drive, and the format it is mounted as
[23:02] <MatBoy> DasEi: nope, I wanted to see the topic...
[23:02] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: can you access your files on there in read only mode?
[23:03] <mib_z8lrq4> http://mibbit.com/pb/BTHPnw un_dave the drive is read only, I can only view the files on the drive
[23:03] <mib_z8lrq4> also that paste is the result from the mount command un_dave
[23:03] <tiyowan> nibsa1242: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[23:04] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: ok, that helps. you can see the last line of that? it tells youu that 'disk' is mounted as hfsplus. that's probably your drive. hfsplus is an osx format.
[23:05] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: alrighty, but what can i do with this?
[23:05] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: now, i'm not sure if your read only issue is a mount issue, or permissions. if you use your root account, can you copy anything onto the drive?
[23:06] <nibsa1242> tiyowan:  yeah that is the guide I found; I followed it and it still doesn't work
[23:06] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: well, I was wondering if I could create a new partition on the drive to store my data in while keeping the old data safe, is this possible?
[23:07] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: or is creating a new partition not even nessesary?
[23:07] <mib_z8lrq4> also, un_dave, if I run sudo or something in the term, i will be granted root access?
[23:07] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: you mite want to try something like 'su cp myfile.something /media/disk' with out the quotes.
[23:07] <nibbler> i need a webcam with full ubuntu/linux/skype support. any recommendations?
[23:07] <tiyowan> nibsa1242: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885437 <- Try this?
[23:07] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: you will, but only for that command
[23:07] <nickrud> !webcam
[23:08] <nickrud> nibbler, ^^
[23:08] <nibbler> great thanks nickrud
[23:08] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: replace myfile.something with a file you have in your current folder.
[23:09] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: well i was planning on transfering my music there and playing it with rythymbox, so as the command you gave might be able to help move the files, rythymbox won't have access to play them?
[23:09] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: if you can write to the hfs partition, creating a new partition is unnessisary. if you have to make a new partition, you'll prob need to resize the current one.
[23:09] <nibsa1242> tiyowan: ok, trying that I'll let you know how it goes
[23:09] <crow_> a friend of mine has ubuntu installed, but she can't get wireless internet on it. it says some drivers are missing.

[23:10] <mib_z8lrq4> btw un_dave thanks a ton for the help, do you have a paypal addreess?
[23:10] <alekhine36> help needed with ubuntu webcam
[23:10] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: hrm. rythmbox should be ok to play files on an external drive.
[23:10] <nickrud> !away > bal
[23:10] <alekhine36> it suddenly stopped working.
[23:10] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: yes. but it's xmas. help is free.
[23:10] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: yes, but even without these premmsion problems?
[23:11] <alekhine36> skype suddenly fails to detect webcam and refuses to play sound as well
[23:11] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: if we sort out the permissions issues, it should be fine.
[23:11] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: so i am going to move the files now, right?
[23:11] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: could you post the pastebin link of this command 'ls /media/disk -al' ?
[23:11] <mib_z8lrq4> with su cp myfile.something /media/disk un_dave
[23:12] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: no. i was just hoping to get you to test if you could write to the drive with your root account.
[23:12] <mib_z8lrq4> http://mibbit.com/pb/Ui3fu3 un_dave
[23:13] <alekhine36> i am fed up with this webcam issue.
[23:14] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: ok, i think i see the issue. see the references to 99, and root in there? that means your current user probably doesnt have permissions to write to any of that.
[23:14] <quentusrex_> Hello, I have ubuntu hardy. I have my projector hooked up through hdmi. Every 5 seconds the screen with twitch. How do I get more info on the problem? It doens't happen all the time, just starts randomly when I wake up the box.
[23:14] <mib_z8lrq4> so what's the prognosis un_dave
[23:15] <e-head> Hey, I just plugged a USB drive into my system. Is something magical supposed to happen?
[23:15] <un_dave> two things to try. please run this command. 'sudo nautilus'
[23:15] <Leon> I've got an issue with LinuxMint, wich is based on Ubuntu. Today I installed LinuxMint over Ubuntu and although sleep always worked fine in Intrepid, it does not work in LinuxMint. On resume, the screen stays blank and nothing happens. Any ideas why that could be happening?
[23:15] <CoJaBo-Dell> quentusrex_: Is it just the projector screen that does it, and does it happen in the BIOS screen?
[23:15] <tiyowan> !mint > Leon
[23:16] <nickrud> Leon, I'm sure mint has a support system - this isn't it
[23:16] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: that should open you a copy of nautilus with root access. please be carefull in there, because you have full access to your files, and system files, and can break things!
[23:16] <mib_z8lrq4> Leon: i think you need to check your power settings
[23:16] <tiyowan> nickrud: Subtle. :)
[23:16] <onetinsoldier> e-head: not really. you'll probably need to mount the usb stick, as root, with the mount command first
[23:16] <alekhine36> media/video0 not present
[23:16] <alekhine36> but it was working yesterday
[23:16] <mib_z8lrq4> sorry un_dave didn't see what you said until now
[23:16] <Leon> There isn't much on in #linuxmint, so I thought I'd ask here...
[23:17] <dtolj> anybody know of a program/script that can do URL encoding?
[23:17] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: once nautilus has started, navigate to /media/disk, and see if you can create files, or copy files to the folder
[23:17] <eternaljoy> hello ladies
[23:17] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: I am in the drive, and I get the option to open it as root, do I accept?
[23:18] <crow_> anyone please?
[23:18] <crow_> a friend of mine has ubuntu installed, but she can't get wireless internet on it. it says some drivers are missing. She can't get the drivers using Synaptic Package Manager cause wireless is the only way she can connect to internet. Can she download the drivers from another computer and transfer them to her ubuntu one and install them locally, and how? Thanks.
[23:18] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: you're using nautilus to view the folder /media/disk ?
[23:18] <mib_z8lrq4> correct un_dave
[23:18] <CoJaBo-Dell> crow_: Is it possiple to temporaritly connect by wired?
[23:18] <crow_> CoJaBo-Dell, no :(
[23:18] <tiyowan> crow_: Use a wire...oh.
[23:18] <crow_> if it was we would have solved that.
[23:18] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: yes, you should be able to view it as root
[23:19] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: can you see the files on there?
[23:19] <victor1> someone please help, i need help with my screen resolution

[23:20] <eeboy> I am trying to access a remote machine via VNC but it's sitting at the GDE login prompt. Can I "log in" via the command line if I have a secure shell connection with that same box?
[23:20] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: i can view the files, but when I rigt click to create a new folder, "Create new folder" is grayed out, but there is an option that says to "open as root"
[23:20] <brohken> hey guys
[23:20] <onetinsoldier> e-head: yes. i believe it would auto-mount if the usb stick is added to your /etc/fstab file
[23:20] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: and all this is happening in natalius as a root
[23:20] <e-head> ahh. right.
[23:20] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Hmm....try setting a static ip?
[23:20] <e-head> how do I figure out what the device name is?
[23:20] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: that's odd. i dont have an option like that! and you should already be root!
[23:20] <e-head> would something pop up in one of the log files? Kernel log maybe.
[23:21] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: i am root, this is odd :(
[23:21] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: hehe where the heck is it getting this IP from :)
[23:21] <onetinsoldier> e-head: that means you  would need to manually edit the /etc/fstab file
[23:21] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: ok. skip that. close nautilus.
[23:21] <victor1>  i just installed ubuntu, and my screen resolution is stuck at 640x480

[23:21] <quentusrex_> How do I restart X from the command line?
[23:21] <adam7> quentusrex_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[23:21] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: !!!!!!!!!!!!
[23:21] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: I wrote earlier on...my instinct points to your router config, but it's a bit difficult to diagnose this problem from over here. :)
[23:21] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: ? what
[23:21] <onetinsoldier> quentusrex_: or invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[23:22] <quentusrex_> adam7, onetinsoldier, will that restart my other applications or just X?
[23:22] <brohken> is there a script i can run to disable bluetooth on startup? on my laptop it just starts automatically. i can easily disable it by Fn+F5
[23:22] <brohken> and i dont want to disable it altogether either
[23:22] <adam7> quentusrex_: it will restart all GUI apps
[23:22] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: well for giggles I changed the router subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, that was the only change
[23:22] <alekhine36> ls: cannot access /dev/video: No such file or directory
[23:22] <brohken> thats what im doing now
[23:22] <adam7> quentusrex_: you can't restart X without restarting everything that is running in X
[23:22] <quentusrex_> adam7, what about transcoding applications?
[23:22] <Slart> brohken: sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop might do it
[23:22] <onetinsoldier> quentusrex_: everything
[23:22] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: I right clicked, hit properties, went to the premissions tab and i can change the premissions from root to "jordan" which is me
[23:22] <adam7> quentusrex_: if it's running in X, it will restart
[23:22] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/319 <- To set static ip/gateway/mask. Backup your /etc/network/interfaces first, though.
[23:22] <adam7> quentusrex_: next time use screen to run your transcoding stuff
[23:22] <e-head> onetinsoldier: you have any idea what the device name would be?
[23:23] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: what makes no sense is why does this problem occur ONLY with LIVECD's?
[23:23] <e-head> for the purposes of mounting.
[23:23] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4:  that's great! that should give you access without being root
[23:23] <Slart> brohken: that will require a password though.. you could change that in the sudoers file if you really want to
[23:23] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: thats against our policy, the router handles all IP's. the livecd's cannot have static IP's
[23:23] <onetinsoldier> e-head: try and see if you can find it with the following command...  fdisk -l
[23:23] <Slart> brohken: or find something that is run as root already.. perhaps one of the rc.d scripts
[23:23] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: The installed Ubuntu versions work fine?
[23:24] <mib_z8lrq4> wait, I selected my name un_dave and it says the device is a read only file system....
[23:24] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: fine no issues
[23:24] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Clean installs without updates? Or with updates?
[23:25] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: well most of the machines have been running a while
[23:25] <nolimitsoya> any experiences with nordic telenor 3g broadband? im contemplating ubuntu for a friends machine, and would like to know beforehand if its doable
[23:25] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Maybe the LiveCD is fubar'ed on your particular NIC. You using same-brand NICs on all the boxes? Or mix of different vendors?
[23:25] <MatBoy> I already had the idea, but it's true that the 8.04 installer is faster than the 8.10 one
[23:26] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: laptops, desktops, servers, I've tried almost every box at my disposal, no luck.
[23:26] <mon^rch> so what happens when I recieve a death threat from somebody on this server?
[23:26] <CoJaBo-Dell> o_O
[23:26] <adam7> mon^rch: find a freenode staffer
[23:26] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Hmm. Maybe the LiveCDs fubar'ed with your particular router. Highly unlikely though. :)
[23:26] <onetinsoldier> mon^rch: i would try the #freenode channel
[23:27] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: well it's not out of the ballpark since we do have a twin-wan router
[23:27] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: sorry. lost connection there for a bit. did you get it working?
[23:28] <mib_8oomfc> mkdir -p is giving "No such file or directory"; but this only happens for mkdir a/b where a doesn't exist. Why would it happen with -p?
[23:28] <eternaljoy> un_dave, hello
[23:28] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: I wish
[23:28] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Interesting problem though. Normally people's connects work fine off the LiveCD, then fubar. :) But it's the reverse in your case. I'd google for your brand of router; then maybe file a bug report.
[23:28] <smokeymirror> hey guys
[23:28] <un_dave> hello eternaljoy
[23:29] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: well, I found that the partition on the drive is read only, so no matter the premissions, the drive won't let me do anything, so I need to create a new parititon
[23:29] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: ya I'm thinking the same thing, it's certainly not specific to ubuntu tho.  I've tested now with 3 other livecd distros and the same problem
[23:29] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: I booted up gparted with root and I am trying to figure out how to resize and create a new partition
[23:29] <un_dave> mib_z8lrq4: damn. ok. just let me do some quick research on the hfs thing.
[23:29] <mib_z8lrq4> un_dave: you are awesome btw
[23:29] <alekhine36> i dont understand how /dev/video is suddenly missing. my webcam was working till yesterday evening. could this be because of some new installation?
[23:29] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Oh? Well, if you can reproduce the bug on different distros then perhaps it's a kernel issue.

[23:35] <FrozenFire> In that case, would anyone know how to manually select the installation mirror during the Wubi install? My local mirror is _horribly_ slow (~15KB/s) as opposed to other major mirrors offering 300-500KB/s
[23:35] <nickrud> !wubi | FrozenFire, yep, although there's an ubuntu forum that is probably going to work better. Not many wubi users here. http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 often has good help, but delayed
[23:35] <eternaljoy> Slart, :-)
[23:35] <KenBW22> is the BBC content in Intrepid's Totem the same as iPlayer?
[23:35] <XFCEntral> KenBW22: its pretty extensive and runs a variety of genres. i stop at saying yes to your question, as I havent used BBCs iPlayer, but give the Totem plugin a try
[23:36] <MatBoy> damn, the 8.04 installer is much faster than the 8.10 :S weird !
[23:36] <eternaljoy> onetinsoldier, i followed your steps and it installed and worked.. however, due to old laptop, it was really slow since upgrading to 8.10... so i installed 8.04 from fresh and now laptop runs quick again!  sorry to have wasted your time, you were really helpful and patient
[23:36] <KenBW22> XFCEntral: as far as i can tell, they're all just audio, not video streams
[23:36] <fwaokda> where do i go to set my default media player for video files?
[23:36] <tiyowan> Jeruvy: Can't google anything up. Interesting problem though. *nix + twin wan support.
[23:37] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, sure is
[23:37] <onetinsoldier> eternaljoy: roger that. you're welcome. np about my time
[23:37] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, 8.10 was too slow for me, so I installed 8.04 again
[23:37] <fde> fwaokda: within the browser or via System > Preferences > Preferred Applications?
[23:37] <fwaokda> thanks fde
[23:37] <fde> fwaokda: Actually, it doesn't give video player in there... it used to
[23:38] <fwaokda> i did the multimedia option hopefully that helps... just wanted ubuntu to open vlc instead of totem thats all
[23:38] <fwaokda> hopefully what i did works
[23:38] <fde> Doesn't even list it in Nautilus, Edit > Preferences > Media for me... ugh, so idk
[23:38] <Jeruvy> tiyowan: well thanks for your input, I'll keep plugging away at it.

[23:43] <MatBoy> eternaljoy: I was afraid about it indeed
[23:43] <MatBoy> 8.04 was very good and still is
[23:43] <Halitech> eternaljoy, MatBoy Ubuntu is trying to make things too easy by putting more and more things into the kernel so it ends up being slower and a little buggy
[23:44] <mib_z8lrq4> how can I unmount a volume via command line?

[23:44] <tiyowan> Off-topic. But 8.10 works very well for me after some tweaking.
[23:44] <atlef> !unmount | mib_z8lrq4
[23:44] <Halitech> MatBoy, what do  you mean you hope they don't go the way of Debian?
[23:44] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, trying tio make 8.10 to fancy at the expense of stability
[23:45] <MatBoy> eternaljoy: true, and 8.04 doesn't have any HDA issues :)
[23:45] <atlef> !umount | mib_z8lrq4
[23:45] <tiyowan> !umounr > mib_z8lrq4
[23:45] <tiyowan> Heh.
[23:45] <pisecx> does anybody use insults in sudoers?
[23:45] <atlef> !mount | mib_z8lrq4
[23:45] <mib_z8lrq4> i got it, thanks
[23:45] <MatBoy> Halitech: debian was 2 years ago releasing packages for the distro too fast... MD, kernel all buggy... I moved to Ubuntu because Ubuntu saw their problems and wanted stability
[23:45] <mib_z8lrq4> but I really need some help
[23:45] <Ademan> erm, I know there are a fair number of daemons that duplicate so that one watches over the other, however, i have two instances of smbd and winbindd and that doesn't seem necessary, am I supposed to have two instances of each?
[23:45] <mib_z8lrq4> if anyone can help me please
[23:46] <atlef> !ask | mib_z8lrq4
[23:46] <mib_z8lrq4> I can't right to a hts+ drive for some reason, even as root
[23:46] <Ademan> mib_z8lrq4: i'm pretty sure no one besides apple knows how to write to hfs+
[23:47] <Halitech> MatBoy, ok, was about the time I started using Ubuntu but I moved to Debian about 4 months ago as I find it more stable then ubuntu was it runs faster and cooler then ubuntu did on the same hardware
[23:47] <mib_z8lrq4> well Ademan do you know how to resize a partition in gparted?
[23:47] <mib_z8lrq4> nvm Ademan
[23:48] <Diiphantom> how can i play .xvo files?
[23:48] <Jeruvy> MatBoy: I think they slowed down ;)
[23:48] <MatBoy> Halitech: as long as you use their old packages, it's fast ;)
[23:48] <MatBoy> Jeruvy: hehe :D
[23:48] <garnol> i dont like compiz that much, what i can i do?
[23:49] <Jeruvy> MatBoy: I have an etch server and it's quite reliable
[23:49] <Halitech> MatBoy, I'm using Lenny on a P4 1.8 with 896 meg of ram (PC133)
[23:49] <adam7> garnol: remove it?
[23:49] <Ademan> garnol: system->preferences->appearance go to "visual effects" select "None"
[23:49] <MatBoy> Jeruvy: yes, for servers it's OK, but you can't compare a WS to a server
[23:49] <MatBoy> Halitech: ^^
[23:49] <Luomeng> does anyone know how to enable backport respitory?
[23:49] <Jeruvy> MatBoy: you're very correct :)
[23:50] <MatBoy> eternaljoy: eman, 8.04 is so much easier in usage
[23:50] <MatBoy> it just works
[23:50] <atlef> garnol: metacity --replace
[23:50] <eternaljoy> yep
[23:50] <MatBoy> eternaljoy: have you tried an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 ? I have seen issues with people and the latest kernel and LVM
[23:50] <Ademan> Luomeng: you can do it through synaptic if you go to settings->repositories
[23:51] <Luomeng> okay
[23:51] <Luomeng> tyvm
[23:51] <Ademan> no problem
[23:51] <eternaljoy> MatBoy, yes did upgrade, but laptop went really slow... had to reinstall 8.04
[23:51] <MatBoy> eternaljoy: man, I saw the same, even booting is slow

[23:52] <garnol> I want my firefox to load everything before it shows me the page
[23:52] <MatBoy> Halitech: debian is easier for servers than ubuntu...

[23:57] <fiber> hello... i'm having an odd problem... when i try changing gnome settings (namely resolution), and it asks me to authenticate it always fails... login/sudo/gksudo work perfectly so i'm not really sure what the problem is (or what package it is using to try to authenticate!)... does anyone have any solutions/recommendations?
[23:57] <Ademan> adam7: no
[23:57] <goph> !whoami
[23:57] <MiniF> i don
[23:57] <adam7> Ademan: that's probably not it then

[23:58] <cehr> I want to upgrade this old computer from gutsy, but it's only a 10gb harddrive.  would it be better to use the built-in upgrader, or just backup my home folder and reinstall to hardy/intrepid?  are there any advantages one has over the other?
[23:58] <adam7> Ademan: I have about 6 firefox processes with the same memory usage and different pids and I think they are different threads for the same process
[23:59] <Ademan> MiniF: no resources around?
[23:59] <eternaljoy> goph, did tell Fart to have a good one? :)
[23:59] <KenBW22> Ademan: i tried that, i think it caused some problems, unless im wring
