[00:00] <isilion> zsquareplusc,  in hosts.allow ALL is uncomented, is this ok?
[00:00] <zsquareplusc> nwbie_: lspci or lshw -C network  might help
[00:00] <dmx> I need some help with Ubuntu I have v 8.10. my problems I can not get my wifi to work. I have ndiswrapper and it is set as it were, were assisted by a mate, but going by the clock when I press the network icon that shows only "wired network" no Wireless: /
[00:00] <R0b0t1> I'm having problems with my Java on AMD64, are there any help threads, etc?
[00:00] <R0b0t1> Some I've tried haven't worked.
[00:01] <zsquareplusc> isilion: yes. unless you have an ALL in .deny it's accepting all connections anyway
[00:01] <Almtesh> R0b0t1: I have a 64-bit processor, but I can't use a 64-bit kernel because the wireless card, flash, Java and screensavers don't work on it.
[00:01] <SSilver2k> wtf, now it just started working
[00:01] <zsquareplusc> Almtesh: there is a 64 bit flash beta from adobe
[00:01] <scythefwd> almetesh, if the wireless card you are using works with the ubuntu wireless extensions, it will default to eth1 once it is configured, I havn't seen a wlan0 but my experience is limited
[00:01] <onetinsoldier> Almtesh: what's the output of...   uname -m   ??
[00:01] <R0b0t1> Almtesh: Odd, I've gotten all three to work :) (except Java, I'm working on that now, it has worked in the past)
[00:01] <Almtesh> R0b0t1 : try to install ubuntu-restricted-extra.
[00:02] <Almtesh> i686
[00:02] <MrCollins> my mp3 player is not having other issues
[00:02] <MrCollins> gparted gives me this error message at http://pastebin.com/m7d3dde6d can someone have a look please?
[00:02] <onetinsoldier> Almtesh: that's your problem right there. you installed a 32-bit userspace architecture
[00:02] <Almtesh> I know.
[00:03] <scythefwd> my issues are with firefox and wpa_supplicant (after dhclient has been ran and ip address has been recieved)
[00:03] <isilion> zsquareplusc,  in .deny i got sshd 127.0.1.1, and i commented it
[00:03] <Almtesh> onetinsoldier I installed it to do work my wireless card, flash, Java and screensavers.
[00:03] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins:  you try to mount via terminal?
[00:03] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, no what command should I pass?
[00:04] <zsquareplusc> isilion: did you try to connect the server on the server?
[00:04] <isilion> i restarted daemon, but still no being capable to connect desired port but default connects ok. zsquareplusc
[00:04] <kdl> hey all i am having problems wth ubuntu and my new nvidia gfx crd (9800 gtx+)
[00:04] <onetinsoldier> Almtesh: ok, roger. ithought you were stating that working on them... isn't working. but perhaps i misread that
[00:04] <isilion> zsquareplusc,  im trying to connect to this machine via ssh, from a desired port
[00:05] <isilion> from this machine
[00:05] <linny1> ive recently started using ubuntu and  im having problems burning dvd-rs ive downloaded that are in the .img format.. Ive googled high and low and even tried windows programs in wine, ill explain what ive done and what problems ive had....First i tried k3b it does burn them natively but the end of the dvd seems to jump and sometimes cuts off the end of the movie. (i use k3b to burn .isos and they work fine). So i tried to convert 
[00:05] <Almtesh> onetinsoldier I'm French. I've a bad English.
[00:05] <hocem> hello..how can i manage the widi connection in ubuntu?
[00:05] <Almtesh> onetinsoldier Can you speak clearier?
[00:05] <sfer21> !repeat > linny1
[00:05] <onetinsoldier> Almtesh: no problem.
[00:05] <scythefwd> widi
[00:05] <benben> Hello
[00:05] <hocem> wifi
[00:05] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins:  first unount, then mkdir ~/usbdrive then mount /dev/sdc -o rw ~/usbdrive
[00:05] <sfer21> !hello|benben
[00:05] <benben> Can anyone tell me how to boot to run level 3 on ubuntu intrepid? /etc/inittab isn't there
[00:06] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, ok
[00:06] <linny1> sfer21: im allowed to ask my quetion again im not spanning
[00:06] <riegersn> where is irexec in intrepid ? apt-get says its not in repos
[00:06] <kitche> sfer21: no clue why you used the repeat factoid on linny1 since it's been well over 5 minutes since the last time he asked
[00:06] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins
[00:06] <linny1> sfer21: lol now i forgotten how to type look :)
[00:06] <techsuperfreak> mr collins: might need to use sudo
[00:06] <mohbana> can i control my friends pc remotely?
[00:07] <mohbana> he needs help
[00:07] <zsquareplusc> benben: you don't, usally use runlevel 3 on ubuntu
[00:07] <sfer21> kitche: but no-one's known an answer
[00:07] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, yeah trying now
[00:07] <sfer21> linny1: maybe better to come back later
[00:07] <hocem> help please ...what is the better wifi software??
[00:07] <kitche> sfer21: hence why he needed to ask again
[00:07] <Almtesh> mohbana You want to control your friend's PC?
[00:07] <kitche> linny1: sounds like the .img is just cut short actually
[00:07] <mohbana> Almtesh: like remote desktop on windows
[00:07] <benben> zsquareplusc, huh? Do you mean I am already at run level 3?
[00:07] <Almtesh> mohbana Using what?
[00:07] <linny1> sfer21: what so im aske3d to leave now for asking the same question 5 mins apart ?
[00:07] <zsquareplusc> mohbana: yes. he ca share his screen and you can connect to using terminal server client or a vnc client
[00:08] <riegersn> !irexec
[00:08] <mohbana> do you have a link?
[00:08] <onetinsoldier> benben: are you in x-windows?
[00:08] <mohbana> zsquareplusc: and Almtesh
[00:08] <Almtesh> mohbana What the OS of remote controlled PCs?
[00:08] <sfer21> kitche: usually, if no-one displays interest in the question 3 times, obviously there isn't anyone to help.
[00:08] <zsquareplusc> benben: no, usually 2. but ubuntu doesn't use runlevels 3,4,5. they aren't any different from 2
[00:08] <R0b0t1> I'm still trying to get Java to work. IS EVERYONE SURE THEY DON'T HAVE SOMETHING?!
[00:08] <benben> onetinsoldier, yes, and i want to boot to command line without any GUI stuff
[00:08] <linny1> kitche: no ive rule that out ive tried multiple img files thanks for the input tho :)
[00:08] <mohbana> ubuntu 8.10 and i'm using the same,
[00:08] <mohbana> his might be a 32bit
[00:08] <kitche> sfer21: he only asked it twice
[00:08] <onetinsoldier> benben: ok... here's intructions on how to get to command line
[00:08] <ciro> hi all
[00:08] <isilion> zsquareplusc,  why i can connect to port 22, but no to the one i want?
[00:08] <zsquareplusc> benben: then try the recovery mode or add "text" to the kernel command line
[00:09] <sfer21> linny1: no, i didn't say to leave, i said if you're looking for help you may want to come back later because asking the same group of people a few times isn't going to get anything if it didn't the first time
[00:09] <linny1>  sfer21: and that works assuming nobody new comes to the channel
[00:09] <Almtesh> Against all odds, dnsmasq does not want to assume its DHCP functions. What can I do?
[00:09] <kitche> linny1: hmm might want to ask a more advance channel actually on how to convert img to .isos but myself I tend to just extract everything and burn them regular usually
[00:09] <benben> zsquareplusc, thanks
[00:09] <onetinsoldier> 1) log out of x-windows.... menu up top  System -- Log Out <username>  2) Ctrl+Alt+F1
[00:09] <riegersn> !info irexec
[00:10] <ciro> who does use winwrap for animated desktop?i have a problem...when i star matrix screensaver as animated desktop i can't see icons below...my desktop "pulses"
[00:10] <MrCollins> Unable to open /dev/sdc read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/sdc has been opened read-only.
[00:10] <Almtesh> mohbana Wich OS use the PCs you want to control?
[00:10] <zsquareplusc> isilion a firewall or /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} might be blocking the connection as you say the server is listening in that port. if its across internet the IPS might also filter
[00:10] <mohbana> Almtesh: ubunun 8.10 32/64bit
[00:10] <sfer21> linny1: i've gone through, you've asked 5 times, i suggested maybe coming back later when other people will be on. this is an international channel.
[00:10] <riegersn> !find irexec
[00:10] <onetinsoldier> benben: there's a little more to the instructions if you are wanting to actually shut x-windows down(turn it off)
[00:10] <linny1> kitche: i didnt know that was an option how would i go about doing that then ? i just want to get them onto the dvds
[00:10] <benben> onetinsoldier, that is just switching between terminals...i basically don't want x windows to run at all
[00:10] <Almtesh> mohbana You can use vncviewer.
[00:11] <mohbana> this channel is too packed
[00:11] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, mount: block device /dev/sdd1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[00:11] <mohbana> it's hard to say focused
[00:11] <zsquareplusc> mohbana: the desktop sharing is in the system->prefs menu (remote desktop)
[00:11] <isilion> not is in my lan. ive installed some seckurity packages, could that be the problem?
[00:11] <mohbana> zsquareplusc: thank you
[00:11] <isilion> not,it is  in my lan* zsquareplusc
[00:11] <Almtesh> mohbana Sorry, it's vinagre.
[00:11] <kitche> linny1: well you can mount the .img usually but not sure how on linux since I forgot most of the linux specific things
[00:11] <zsquareplusc> mohbana: the other question is, how to connect. if it is across the internet it might be tricky (NAT routers..)
[00:11] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins: when mounted what is the output of ls -l for the dir?
[00:12] <kdl> I have the latest version of ubuntu and a nvidia 9800gtx+ Ihave the 177 drivers and I am having troubles figuring out how to make sure the gfx is working properly.  I just downlloaded flightgear and the gfx are really messed up.  I can see outlines of objects, but they are filled with weird lsd-type colors and patterns
[00:12] <kdl> can someoneplease help me when youhave a moment
[00:12] <onetinsoldier> benben: ok. are you wanting this behavior permanently?
[00:12] <mohbana> via internet, nothing complex, we each connect to the net via a adsl box
[00:12] <sfer21> linny1: can't you just go "burn dvd image" in k3b?
[00:12] <linny1> kitche: ill google and give it a go thanks for your help at least i have a new lead to try happy new year
[00:12] <zsquareplusc> isilion: you could run sshd with -d instead of as a daemon to get more verbose debug outputs. or use nc/nc -l to check if you can make connections between pcs on that specific port
[00:12] <sfer21> oh wait, that's iso
[00:12] <Almtesh> Against all odds, dnsmasq does not want to assume its DHCP functions. What can I do?
[00:13] <DeadmonkeyX> plz help some one?
[00:13] <Almtesh> I'm tired!
[00:13] <linny1> sfer21: i obviosly didnt post enuff you didnt read it :)
[00:13] <sfer21> linny1: try coming back on later, because there will be different people on
[00:13] <ncfi1013> buddha0614
[00:13] <benben> onetinsoldier, if it is reversible then yes. I am trying to do some diagnostics on some other ubuntu boxes
[00:13] <zsquareplusc> !who > mohbana
[00:13] <Almtesh> What's the problem DeadmonkeyX ?
[00:13] <sfer21> i kind of understood, but didnt
[00:13] <mohbana> zsquareplusc: via internet, nothing complex, we each connect to the net via a adsl box
[00:13] <DeadmonkeyX> I need some help with Ubuntu I have v 8.10. my problems I can not get my wifi to work. I have ndiswrapper and it is set as it were, were assisted by a mate, but going by the clock when I press the network icon that shows only "wired network" no Wireless: /
[00:13] <kozlojak> is there any programs for linux that work like a windows media center server and i will get the same fuctions from a xbox360 connecting to it?
[00:14] <puff> One of my external USB drives isn't showing up.   The other one shows up. I don't see anything obvious in dmsesg, where else can I look for info on what's going wrong?
[00:14] <isilion> zsquareplusc,  whats the path to sshd to run sshd -d?
[00:14] <onetinsoldier> benben: ok.   1) determine what display_manager you use with --> cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager   2) log out of x-windows  3) Ctrl+Alt+F1   4) login to the console termminal  5) sudo invoke-rc.d <display_manager> stop (for example -->  invoke-rc.d gdm stop  <--, this shuts down x-windows completely)
[00:14] <linny1> sfer21: k3b doent purn them properly it messes up the ends of the films it works fine with .isos tho ?
[00:14] <Almtesh> I go to sleep.
[00:14] <redd1> i added the q3 data files from the repository...but i cant play yet...what do i need to do?
[00:14] <zsquareplusc> mohbana: once the friend runs the desktop sharing you need to figure out how to connect to him. theoretically just a "vncviewer hisip", but when ther is a NAT router, you need to set up port forwarding on his side. this is also not encrypted. you could use ssh to make secure tunnels
[00:14] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, when I am in the dir and I do ls -l it returns total 0
[00:15] <white-sheep> kozlojak: I don't think so.   Windows + Xbox360 are made by Microsoft.
[00:15] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins: ls -l ~/usbdrive
[00:15] <zsquareplusc> isilion: just sshd? that works here
[00:15] <sfer21> linny1: i think i have an answer
[00:15] <Almtesh> Good night Ubuntu !
[00:15] <linny1> hmm anyone know if theres a k3b support chan ?
[00:15] <benben> onetinsoldier, sweet! Now how do I do this so that it boots without xwindows every time?
[00:15] <sfer21> rename the .img extension to .iso
[00:15] <sfer21> and try that
[00:15] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, wait error
[00:15] <isilion> $ sshd
[00:15] <isilion> sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path
[00:15] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, it returns this -rwx------ 1 brian root 2066844 2008-12-27 17:17 Every+Creature.mp3
[00:15] <MrCollins> drwx------ 2 brian root    4096 2004-01-01 00:00 MICIN.DIR
[00:15] <sfer21> linny1: try renaming it from .img to .iso
[00:15] <Milos_SD> Q: I have 8 GB of ram, and using 64bit kernel, why system monitor shows that I have 7.7 GB of RAM? :S
[00:16] <Almtesh> Milos_SD Normal.
[00:16] <onetinsoldier> benben: System --> Administration --> Services --> disable Graphical Display Manager(gdm)
[00:16] <Milos_SD> Almtesh, why is it normal? :)
[00:16] <kitche> Milos_SD: since it's MiB instead of MB
[00:16] <kitche> Milos_SD: or GiB instead of GB
[00:16] <redd1> can anyone help/
[00:16] <redd1> ?
[00:16] <zsquareplusc> isilion: you might want to stop the other instance, "invoke-rc.d ssh stop"
[00:16] <linny1>  sfer21: yes i read that oti it doesnt work for me, i read somwhere that it only works with single session .img files anyway i thought linux didnt take any notice of the file ext
[00:17] <kkkduifjalsdd> how do i set my wlan card in monitor mode?
[00:17] <Milos_SD> kitche, thanks....
[00:17] <white-sheep> linny1: Try burning it at lower speed -- It do help issues sometimes -- This sometimes happened to me when I'm burning ISOs.
[00:17] <Almtesh> Milos_SD Because when you get a 8GB RAM, there's not 8GB of RAM.
[00:17] <Almtesh> There's a little less.
[00:17] <babdew> irc.brokensphere.net 6667 #Spirit
[00:17] <benben> onetinsoldier! Thanks a lot!
[00:17] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, did you see my message?
[00:17] <isilion> o$ sshd
[00:17] <isilion> sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path
[00:17] <isilion>  zsquareplusc
[00:17] <zsquareplusc> linny1: file extensions, some programs ignore them, some look at them. you can use "file" to identify file types independent of ending
[00:17] <Milos_SD> Almtesh, /proc/meminfo shows MemTotal:        8117128 kB
[00:18] <onetinsoldier> benben: you're welcome :)
[00:18] <ncfi1013> "KLauncher could not be reached via D-Bus. Error when calling start_service_by_desktop_path: empty." is this some thing i should worry about? what does it mean? if i should worry about it, how do i fix it?
[00:18] <redd1> how do i run quake 3 after installing the data files from the repo?
[00:18] <zsquareplusc> isilion: yes, you still have the other sshd running
[00:18] <Almtesh> Milos_SD Yes, of course. 8117128 kB is not 8GB.
[00:18] <linny1>  white-sheep: thanks for the input
[00:18] <SaturnDriver> Milos_SD: yeah, because there's gigabyte as in 1074MB and gigabytes as in 1000MB
[00:18] <Milos_SD> Almtesh, and when I had 2 GB of ram, it showed 2.0 GiB
[00:18] <mohbana> zsquareplusc: $ vncviewer hisip
[00:18] <mohbana> The program 'vncviewer' can be found in the following packages:
[00:18] <mohbana>  * xvnc4viewer
[00:18] <mohbana>  * xtightvncviewer
[00:18] <mohbana>  * tightvnc-java
[00:18] <mohbana>  * vnc-java
[00:19] <isilion> zsquareplusc,  i mean after rc...
[00:19] <mohbana>  ... which one do i choose?
[00:19] <sfer23> linny1: did you try what i suggested?
[00:19] <sfer23> !paste | mohbana
[00:19] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, I got it
[00:19] <zsquareplusc> isilion: hm. you used sudo? otehrwise try /etc/init.d/ssh stop
[00:19] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, it requires me to turn ON the 'HOLD' button
[00:19] <isilion> after invoke
[00:19] <linny1> sfer23: what change the ext yea i allready did earlyer it doesnt work
[00:19] <SaturnDriver> Milos_SD: It depends on what the manufacturer is calling a GB I guess
[00:19] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins: cool, works now?
[00:20] <sfer23> linny1:  hmm, okay, it should burn normally. are you sure there isn't a problem with the img?
[00:20] <Almtesh> mohbana Use vinagre.
[00:20] <isilion> both ways it says is stopped
[00:20] <sfer23> that could have been the problem all along
[00:20] <Almtesh> It's on your computer.
[00:20] <isilion> for reexec ask for full path
[00:20] <zsquareplusc> mohbana: doesn't matter much, they are all capable of the same basic protocols. maybe try tightvncviewer
[00:20] <mohbana> Almtesh: it seems like i need to run a server and client
[00:20] <rhousand> is there a way to make it where my wifi will connect to unsecured network with out asking me.
[00:20]  * Almtesh baille en français.
[00:20] <linny1> sfer23: yea it does it with all the img files
[00:20] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, yeah thanks for your help... must be a manu defect because the hold button in the manual IS the write block! lol
[00:20]  * Almtesh goes to sleep.
[00:21] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins: np
[00:21] <Milos_SD> SaturnDriver, hmm... ok ... In BIOS it is something like  8317128 insted of 8117128.... that is why I aksed :)
[00:21] <sfer23> linny1: have you tried any of the image files on any other computer to make sure they are all ok?
[00:21] <linny1> sfer23: i may have to dual boot or maybe a vm will do the trick ?
[00:21] <zsquareplusc> isilion: then try the fullpath. use which sshd to find it out
[00:21] <redd1> how do i run quake 3 after installing the data files from the repo?
[00:21] <sfer23> linny1: so you've not tested the images on any other computer?
[00:22] <linny1> linny1: no but im sure they are fine
[00:22] <sfer23> linny1: you never know, that may be the problem.
[00:22] <SaturnDriver> Milos_SD: Oh, well I don't know why that is then. Seems normalish though. As long as it's consistent
[00:23] <mumbles> ok people who are still up a quick question
[00:23] <white-sheep> Breaking The Myth Of MegaPixels -- An article worth mentioning -- http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/08/technology/08pogue.html

[00:23] <mumbles> any ideas on the best way ?

[00:24] <sfer23> !paste|isilion
[00:24] <zsquareplusc> mumbles: there is also partimage and other specific backup tools that try to avoid copying empty blocks
[00:24] <eseven73> howcome the floodbots stopped working?
[00:24] <white-sheep> eseven73: I don't think it's considered as a flood -- Few lines.
[00:24] <sfer23> white-sheep: no, normally they kick in at about 3 lines
[00:24] <sfer23> and that was 5
[00:24] <onetinsoldier> well, that was for or five lines all in a row
[00:24] <eseven73> yea after 3 it warns
[00:25] <Milos_SD> SaturnDriver, I compiled 2.6.28 kernel and now it is 7.7 GiB, but in Ubuntus generic 2.6.27-11 it was 7.8 GiB :)
[00:25] <sfer23> have passed it onto #ubuntu-irc
[00:25] <LITS> is there any multiplayer reversi game for ubuntu?
[00:25] <SaturnDriver> Milos_SD: Well I mean, with the same kernel it should stay the same. If it's 7.7GB one day, and 7.6GB the other day without reconfiguring anything then i'd be worried
[00:26] <white-sheep> Milos_SD: You have lot of RAMS -- I don't think this should be something you should be worrying about. ;)
[00:26] <redd1> how do i run quake 3 after installing the data files from the repo?
[00:26] <ncfi1013> "KLauncher could not be reached via D-Bus. Error when calling start_service_by_desktop_path: empty." is this some thing i should worry about? what does it mean? if i should worry about it, how do i fix it?
[00:26] <rhousand> is there not a way to have wifi auto join any unsecured network
[00:26] <qwexer> does anyone have a rocketfish bluetooth adapter working?
[00:26] <Gnea> redd1: i think you type 'quake3' and press enter in a terminal
[00:26] <zsquareplusc> isilion: so fas so good, it binds on port 1720 on all interfaces. now if you connect, do you get any errors?
[00:27] <DIFH-iceroot> redd1: copy the *.pak-files to base-directory and then type quake3
[00:27] <sfer23> There we go.
[00:27] <onetinsoldier> hehe
[00:27] <redd1> gnea: doesnt work...it installed from the repo with my cd in the drive but i wonder why it wont run i do not see a listing for the game ither
[00:27] <eseven73> sfer23 :)
[00:28] <Gnea> redd1: depends on where it installed to, i guess
[00:28] <isilion> zsquareplusc,  look http://paste.ubuntu.com/95498/
[00:28] <derklempner> I'm trying to update my nVidia drivers, but I can't figure out how to restart the system without also restarting the X server.  Any tips?
[00:28] <onetinsoldier> redd1: you might have to type in the full path to the game, depending on where it installed to
[00:28] <techsuperfreak> derk:  you want the machine to start in terminal?
[00:28] <trav1085> :(
[00:28] <derklempner> Yes, I do.
[00:29] <trav1085> i think i destroyed 105 GB of my personal data
[00:29] <redd1> how do i find it?
[00:29] <trav1085> i was resizing a partition and then i cancelled it
[00:29] <trav1085> and now i can't read the drive in ubuntu
[00:29] <zsquareplusc> isilion: if it sas tcp wrapper i guess its because of /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}
[00:29] <trav1085> and i have no other windows installations that work due to a virus
[00:29] <trav1085> but just because i cancelled the resizing,
[00:29] <trav1085> the data should be there
[00:29] <trav1085> right?
[00:29] <onetinsoldier> redd1: updatedb.... when that finishes ---> locate quake3 | less
[00:29] <sfer23> !enter | trav1085
[00:29] <trav1085> but i don't know how to access it <_<
[00:30] <isilion> zsquareplusc,  not. it says "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
[00:30] <isilion> "
[00:30] <zsquareplusc> trav1085: please don't use enter as punctuation. and what format was that parition you resiszed?
[00:30] <white-sheep> You canceled the process of resizing hard disk -- and the data it contains.  You didn't make a backup. :-\
[00:30] <trav1085> it was ntfs
[00:30] <onetinsoldier> redd1: you'll need  --> sudo updatedb  ..actually
[00:30] <trav1085> it was just a resize,
[00:30] <zsquareplusc> isilion: look at line 22 of your paste
[00:31] <ncfi1013> "KLauncher could not be reached via D-Bus. Error when calling start_service_by_desktop_path: empty." is this some thing i should worry about? what does it mean? if i should worry about it, how do i fix it?
[00:31] <trav1085> gparted reads the harddrive as one ntfs partition, and ubuntu tells me to run chkdsk
[00:31] <Ratius> is it possible to make a specific directory have by default a primary group appended to any file created for any users in that directory? (what I am trying to do is setup several users for a CVS repository with one group but those same users would be members of another CVS repository with another group)
[00:31] <qwexer> does anyone have any bluetooth adapters working in 8.04?
[00:31] <derklempner> How do I restart in terminal mode?
[00:32] <onetinsoldier> derklempner: restart what? Ubuntu?
[00:32] <olli_> qwexer, yeah, me
[00:32] <zsquareplusc> trav1085: there is ntfsfix and others. there is a ntfs-tools package IIRC. but i don't know if thats really helping to restore data.. i'd copy the partition prevously to trying to fixing (dd/partimage)
[00:32] <vader> derklempner: sudo shutdown -r now
[00:32] <qwexer> olli_: is it usb, and did  you just plug and play?  What brand?
[00:32] <olli_> does anyone know whether it is possible to close all windows of a certain desk at once?
[00:32] <onetinsoldier> derklempner: are you wanting to reboot?
[00:33] <trav1085> well what i was trying to do was resize my 1 only ntfs partition, so that i could then create another ntfs to transfer my personal files to it and then format the "corrupted" partition my data was on
[00:33] <redd1> onetinsoldier: it found it under usr\share\ggames\quake3....but i still cannot execute it
[00:33] <olli_> qwexer, it is usb, I just plug and played it and erm, I forgot the bran
[00:33] <zsquareplusc> Ratius: you can set the S bit on directories. but for cvs, cvs has means to map users itself (if your using pserver)
[00:33] <derklempner> No, I'd like to restart my machine into terminal mode.  Can I just use "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" and then "/etc/init.d/gdm start" to restart it?
[00:33] <Labmonkey1> hi
[00:33] <techsuperfreak> derk:
[00:33] <white-sheep> derklempner: That'll work.
[00:33] <derklempner> Thanks!
[00:33] <onetinsoldier> redd1: what does this command give for output? --> file /usr\share\games\quake3
[00:33] <isilion> zsquareplusc,  whats tcpwrapper and how i get rid off it?
[00:34] <onetinsoldier> oops
[00:34] <white-sheep> derklempner: I think you can also do restart instead of stop/start.
[00:34] <Ratius> thanks zsquareplusc Im using CVS through extssh though
[00:34] <qwexer> olli_: ok, mine isn't showing up when I plug it in
[00:34] <onetinsoldier> redd1: what does this command give for output? --> file /usr/share/games/quake3
[00:34] <derklempner> Well, I think I need to update my nVidia drivers because of an issue I'm having with a game crashing constantly.  So I don't want to restart completely, just enter terminal mode.
[00:35] <redd1> directoy
[00:35] <kevin_> hello, can i use wubi to install a basic command line system? this laptop only has 256 megs of ram, so i want to build up a base system instead of doing a full install
[00:35] <olli_> qwexer, there is a tool which shows all the attached usb devices...
[00:35] <olli_> what was its name....
[00:35] <Labmonkey1> So I've been trying to install ubuntu on an old inspiron laptop, and I got it working with minimal problems. But now I need to run it on an external monitor, and it is behaving strangely. It works on the other monitor until gnome starts, then it goes back to the laptop monitor.
[00:35] <Labmonkey1> I've googled around, and cannot seem to find solutions. Do you need any more information?
[00:35] <onetinsoldier> redd1: ok, then that's not the executable. do you know the exact name of the executable? if not, go into that directory and see if you can see it
[00:35] <zsquareplusc> isilion: "man hosts", also look at tcpdchk or tcpdmatch
[00:36] <stickboy> hey. I just got a new external but ubuntu  (8.10) won't recognize it so that I can format it. any ideas?
[00:36] <redd1> onetin1: it just comes up as directory...what would the exec file be?
[00:36] <olli_> << I guess Mad Cow, as in denny crane ;)
[00:36] <hollywoodb> I don't want to have universe & multiverse enabled all the time, but I'd like to temporarily enable them to install a single package... is there a way to do this easily with apt-get ?
[00:36] <Jangari> I'm having the same problem, Labmonkey1, I don't have a solution
[00:36] <redd1> onetin1: inside quake3 there is baseq3 folder with the pak files in it
[00:37] <olli_> is there a way to close all laptops of the current desk at once?
[00:37] <olli_> gnaaa
[00:37] <zsquareplusc> isilion: i mean man hosts.allow
[00:37] <olli_> sorry
[00:37] <Labmonkey1> so anyobdy got any ideas
[00:37] <olli_> is there a way to close all windows of the current desktop at once?
[00:37] <onetinsoldier> redd1: still does not sound like the game executable... see if you and find it. i know of a gui that will help you find executable only files...
[00:37] <Jangari> Labmonkey1: this is what happens to me: the login screen shows up on both laptop and external monitor, but as soon as I log in, the external shows 'input not supported' and the laptop goes blank
[00:37] <Labmonkey1> was that directed at me lol? I can't tell
[00:38] <justmeok> how do you delete directories in terminal and delete everything inside of them with a command?
[00:38] <kevin_> you can minimize them all with a control+alt+d
[00:38] <redd1> yea?
[00:38] <Labmonkey1> jangari
[00:38] <olli_> justmeok, rm -r
[00:38] <Jangari> yes it was, that's why your name was in it
[00:38] <Labmonkey1> yea
[00:38] <zsquareplusc> olli_: joke answer: ctrl+alt+backspace ;-)    or keep on hitting alt-f4
[00:38] <Labmonkey1> I was reffering to a different message
[00:38] <isilion> But its ALL in .allow
[00:38] <justmeok> thanks
[00:38] <olli_> zsquareplusc, :D
[00:38] <techsuperfreak> monkey:  any output from dmesg
[00:39] <redd1> onetin: do i have to run it from the cd?
[00:39] <Labmonkey1> techsuperfreak: what's dmesg lol, sorry im new to this
[00:39] <stickboy> hey. I just got a new external but ubuntu  (8.10) won't recognize it so that I can format it. any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/95502/
[00:40] <onetinsoldier> redd1: http://www.kbrandt.com/2008/06/pygnomefind-gui-frontend-to-gnu-find.html   ...with this utility, you have to have both files contained in the tarball unpacked into the same directory, then you have to go into the directory and type in -->   ./pyGnomeFind.py
[00:40] <techsuperfreak> monkey: type dmesg in a terminal
[00:40] <Labmonkey1> ok
[00:40] <techsuperfreak> stickboy:  same to you, what output from dmesg?>
[00:40] <zsquareplusc> stickboy: looks like sdb is ok. is it just unformated? try gparted
[00:40] <Jangari> simple question, I have an .rb script to batch run over a directory of text files. What's the bash command?
[00:41] <puff> USB drive, anybody?
[00:41] <Jangari> as in, what's the bash command to pipe a text file through a ruby script?
[00:41] <onetinsoldier> redd1: i'm pretty certain that you have to get the executable from the cd onto your hard drive. but i could be wrong
[00:41] <redd1> onetin: what is the cmfd to unpak?
[00:41] <onetinsoldier> redd1: keep in mind i'm not a quake3 player
[00:41] <justmeok> sudo rmdir laptopok/ -r
[00:41] <justmeok> rmdir: invalid option -- 'r'
[00:41] <zsquareplusc> Jangari: install ruby. and how that specific script is used, we can not guess that
[00:41] <redd1> onetin:heh yea thanks for your help man
[00:42] <batman76> ubuntu sucks
[00:42] <zsquareplusc> justmeok: rmdir only works with empty folders. rm -r removes recusively (and defnietly, no undelete..)
[00:42] <batman76> !ops
[00:42] <Jangari> it's just an .rb script, and I want to run some text files through it, not complicated, right?
[00:42] <batman76> !ops
[00:42] <batman76> !ops
[00:42] <Pici> batman76: ?
[00:42] <batman76> ubuntu sucks
[00:43] <batman76> haha
[00:43] <onetinsoldier> redd1: i can tell you how to on cmmand line.. or you can just install the following. you can run it as sudo/root if need be.  --> file-roller
[00:43] <musictoto> thanks pici
[00:43] <justmeok> how do you delete all folder contents zsquareplusc ?
[00:43] <elkbuntu> was he calling ops on anyone to begin with, or just to be a moron?
[00:43] <musictoto> elkbuntu to be a moron :D
[00:43] <Jangari> to draw attention, elkbuntu
[00:43] <elkbuntu> rightio then.
[00:44] <onetinsoldier> redd1: to unpack the file, in need to know the file extension on the end.   .tar.gz? .tar.bz2?
[00:44] <onetinsoldier> i need*
[00:44] <redd1> onetin: i got it unpacked now...so you think i am looking for a *.run?
[00:45] <onetinsoldier> redd1: i don't know. but i doubt's it s .run. let me google search
[00:45] <zsquareplusc> justmeok: "rm -r" recusively removes files and folders with no way to undo. but why aren't you using nautilus, the gui file manager?
[00:45] <nicklas_> yo
[00:45] <justmeok> because these folders wont give me permissions
[00:45] <untermensch> How big is an Ubuntu server install on the hard drive?
[00:45] <Labmonkey1> techsuperfreak: sorry for long wait, I had to find a keyboard for that computer
[00:46] <techsuperfreak> monkey: np
[00:46] <zsquareplusc> untermensch: depends on what you actually install. i guess starting around 400MB
[00:46] <Labmonkey1> techsuperfreak: what parts of dmesg do you want, it was a lot of stuff
[00:46] <untermensch> zsquareplusc: for a server install?
[00:46] <techsuperfreak> monkey: last 50 or so lones
[00:46] <untermensch> zsquareplusc: i guess the standered install?
[00:46] <puchatek> Im new here... and Im trying to setup my wifi card with ubuntu
[00:47] <puchatek> and Im lost
[00:47] <Labmonkey1> techsuper: anything your looking for? I can't easily copy paste cause its on another comp without net access
[00:47] <puchatek> any help?
[00:47] <musictoto> untermensch: yes. it has no graphical user interface so takes less volume on your HD
[00:47] <zsquareplusc> untermensch: the "standard" serve install asks you (tasksel) if you don't select anything there you just get a minimal install
[00:47] <techsuperfreak> monkey:  hard to say without seeing
[00:48] <untermensch> musictoto: yeah, i have a server running it now. i just forgot the install size.
[00:48] <untermensch> Think I could make it with a 2 or 4 gb hard drive?
[00:48] <musictoto> untermensch: for a basic install sure
[00:49] <untermensch> awesome :)
[00:49] <musictoto> untermensch: take the 4GB to be sure ;)
[00:49] <zsquareplusc> untermensch: sure, depends on whyt you understand under a server... apache?  check your current one's size with "df -h"
[00:49] <Labmonkey1> well im not sure how I would get the info over to you
[00:49] <ozatomic> Has anyone here had any experience with the package inn or inn2?
[00:49] <Labmonkey1> techsuper: it would take hours to type out
[00:50] <techsuperfreak> monkey:  recap issue for me
[00:50] <musictoto> !ask > ozatomic
[00:50] <onetinsoldier> redd1: i don't know that i could figure out how to properly install quake3 without having it myself. all i can say is you can google something like   Linux quake3 install
[00:50] <onetinsoldier> http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/q3a/INSTALL
[00:51] <ozatomic> i've installed inn2 and been tring to test posting binaries to it but i always get a 502 error.
[00:51] <hdon> hi all. a windows xp system has my only internet connection! i can set up a proxy on it easily enough, but how do i create a virtual networking interface on my Etch system that will tunnel through the proxy?
[00:51] <nwbie__> hello, i need some help. I need to know what type of wireless card I have on my laptop, where can I get this info?
[00:51] <scuzzo1> sup any game developers here for ubuntu?
[00:51] <hdon> nwbie__: lspci or lsusb might help
[00:51] <Labmonkey1> tech: I am trying to get my laptop (dell insperion 5000) to work with an external monitor (just the external monitor, NOT dual monitor). I plugged the monitor in, closed the laptop, and it shows the computer starting up on the external monitor, but once gnome starts up, the external monitor goes blank, and it starts going on the laptop monitor again.
[00:52] <onetinsoldier> nwbie__: apt-get install lshw && lshw -C network
[00:52] <mm> hello ... i tried running java .class files using java app.class from terminal and it's not working
[00:52] <mm> same with java -jar file.jar
[00:52] <mm> anybody here know whats up?
[00:52] <screamsayonara> does anyone have any links to like, terminal for beginners tutorials or something like that
[00:52] <hdon> mm: "not working" isn't a very good description of your problem
[00:52] <techsuperfreak> monkey:  does it show on both screens with the top up?
[00:52] <Jangari> Labmonkey1: I would try starting gnome first, then plugging in the external, and going to screen resolution settings to see if it's recognising the monitor properly.
[00:52] <scuzzo1> webbit!
[00:52] <mm> hdon: i get java error but the program does compile in the ide
[00:53] <Jangari> that's part one of your diagnosis
[00:53] <onetinsoldier> hdon: http://linuxcommand.org
[00:53] <Labmonkey1> tech: I haven't tried
[00:53] <zsquareplusc> Labmonkey1: you gfx card probably supports two separate screens.  xrandr might help or pressing fn_F10/F5 (whatever the output selection key is on your laptop)
[00:53] <techsuperfreak> monkey: give it a shot
[00:53] <Labmonkey1> im gana try what jangari said and if it shows on both screens
[00:53] <Labmonkey1> brb
[00:53] <hdon> mm: also, a common mistake when trying to run Java classes is that you do *not* use .class at the end of the class name (you aren't naming the file, you are naming a class which the java vm can find on the classpath, which by default on some systems includes your cwd)
[00:53] <treyk4> what would be the best way to install compiz fusion on kubuntu?
[00:53] <mm> hdon: so it would be java filename
[00:53] <mm> ?
[00:54] <hdon> onetinsoldier: wtf
[00:54] <thebloggu>  i have a logitech elite keyboard, what should i change for the media keys to work with sonata/mpd ? using openbox
[00:54] <hdon> mm: no, you aren't naming a filename, you're naming a class, which is contained in a like-named <classname>.class file
[00:54] <hdon> mm: but you also said the -jar option didn't work either, so i doubt that's the only problem you're having, if you're having that problem at all
[00:54] <onetinsoldier> hdon: doh! so sorry.. i mistook you for someone else. i need glasses i guess. hehe
[00:55] <hdon> onetinsoldier: np

[00:55] <garyvdm> Hi - I'm setting up apache2 + php5 for the first time. php files work if they are in /var/www/ but not in /var/www/somedir/
[00:55] <garyvdm> I've added the following to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default:
[00:55] <garyvdm>  <Directory /var/www/squarepegs/> etc...
[00:55] <blampars> i've installed Intrepid Ibex on an Inspiron 4150 laptop.  Wireless works before system updates, but brakes when updates install + reboot.  Any ideas?
[00:55] <garyvdm> But it dosen't work. I've done lots of googleing, but I'm at a loss. w do I get this to work?
[00:56] <LogicalDash> I'm using an Asus EeePC 900, one of the older ones with a Centrino processor. I want to play Neverball, but I seem to be getting no 3D acceleration whatsoever; the game runs at about 2fps with minimal graphics. How do I enable acceleration from the onboard Intel i915GM chipset?
[00:56] <darkfrog> Installing Ubuntu and trying to set up RAID 0 and following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID#Partitioning%20the%20disk but on step 7 there is no option for "physical volume for RAID"...did I miss something?
[00:56] <hdon> garyvdm: are you remembering to restart your server?
[00:56] <thebloggu>  i have a logitech elite keyboard, what should i change for the media keys to work with sonata/mpd ? using openbox
[00:56] <zsquareplusc> garyvdm: maybe the filetype rule isn't applied in the subfolder. bu the experts are found in #apache
[00:57] <Jaffarkelshac> my sound is gone, gnome-mplayer froze, when i restart it works but any other except this?
[00:57] <LogicalDash> I'm using the special kernel from array.org and updated drivers from the intel-graphics-testing PPA.
[00:57] <garyvdm> hdon: Yes
[00:57] <zsquareplusc> Jaffarkelshac: sounds like pulseaudio isn't running anymore
[00:57] <darkfrog> It says I need the Alternative Installation CD....is that what's wrong?
[00:57] <garyvdm> zsquareplusc: ok thanks - let me ask there
[00:58] <hdon> garyvdm: are you getting a 404 when you try http://yourserver/~yourusername/ ?
[00:58] <mm> hdon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/95510/
[00:58] <hdon> garyvdm: oh i'm sorry i totally missed your problem
[00:59] <mm> hdon: but if fully works fine in the ide
[00:59] <hdon> mm: the proper command is not `java DBMan.class` it is `java DBMan`
[00:59] <hdon> mm: but as i said before, it looks like you're having another problem too
[00:59] <mm> hdon: i tried that too
[00:59] <rblst> is there a simple way to change the resolution to 1024x768 in ubuntu 8.04;  it is not listed on the gnome interface
[00:59] <Jaffarkelshac> anyway to restart it zsquareplusc
[00:59] <mm> hdon: what do you think might be the problem?
[00:59] <hdon> mm: what program is this?
[00:59] <mm> its something i wrote
[01:00] <mm> hdon: its a custom app i wrote in java
[01:00] <puchatek> anyone has an Intel Wifi 5100 card?
[01:00] <puchatek> cant inject :(
[01:00] <thebloggu>  i have a logitech elite keyboard, what should i change for the media keys to work with sonata/mpd ? using openbox
[01:00] <hdon> mm: Well it looks like your dbman.DBManApp class is missing. this is a java programming problem. you'll probably have better luck asking a java channel/forum. prepare your source code for assistants to review
[01:00] <n8tuser> puchatek what is your purpose for injecting?
[01:01] <alex789> hi, I'm having a problem booting from my raid1 array. Basically the mdadm.conf found in the initrd image is wrong. I tried to boot with the live cd, unpacked initrd, edited mdadm.conf, packed it back, but I'm getting an error about the filesystem when I try to boot with that initrd
[01:01] <thebloggu> rblst, gksu displayconfig-gtk
[01:01] <mm> hdon: #java is blocked, recommend any other?
[01:01] <hdon> mm: sign up with nickserv first to get into ##java. `/msg nickserv help` for more info on that
[01:01] <zsquareplusc> thebloggu: i think you are looking for something like http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Client:G15mpd
[01:02] <rblst> theblogg, thanks, but the required resolution is not in the list
[01:02] <stickboy> i just partitioned a new external hd but it's not recognized in places, how do i refresh?
[01:02] <alex789> can you guys point me to a resource about editing files inside initrd ?
[01:02] <blampars> wpc11 wireless card stops working in fresh ibex install after updating and rebooting. help please?
[01:02] <zsquareplusc> stickboy: as its external, unplug, replug ;-)
[01:03] <qwexer> I am having trouble getting a bluetooth usb adapter showing up in 8.04, anyone?
[01:03] <Jangari> in setting up program launchers, or configuring 'opens with' configurations for filetypes, is there a way to make a file open in a tab in a program rather than initialising another instance of the program?
[01:03] <onetinsoldier> stickboy: you'll need make mount points for it and manually mount them. if you want them auto-mounted every time you boot up, then you'll need to edit your /etc/fstab file
[01:03] <Jangari> i'm running oxygen as a java program and 'opens with' opens a new oxygen window each time
[01:04] <thebloggu> zsquareplusc, no, because i do not have a g15 and i am already running a frontend
[01:04] <zsquareplusc> Jangari: that depends on the applications. maybe it has some remote control interface? e.g. firefox has
[01:04] <rblst> theblogg, any other way?
[01:04] <rblst> thebloggu, any other way?
[01:04] <SkEmO> ohai
[01:04] <zsquareplusc> thebloggu: you can have multiple frontends at one time for mpd.
[01:04] <edju> How does one save the about:config page in Firefox?  It saves as about:config.xul and won't display.  Also, the page won't print.  Any suggestions?
[01:04] <Jangari> i can drag into it from nautilus, so it certainly supports tabs, it's just a matter of 'opens with' looking for previous instances of oxygen
[01:04] <thebloggu> rblst, you chose your monitor ?
[01:04] <hdon> Jangari: how annoying! oxygen maintainers may not have provided a file-opener dispatcher
[01:04] <hocem> how to run network ,anager?
[01:05] <zsquareplusc> rblst: does xrandr list your wanted resolution?
[01:05] <hdon> Jangari: what i called a 'file opener dispatcher' is what zsquareplusc called a remote
[01:05] <thebloggu> zsquareplusc, i know, but i also know that sonata can do it
[01:05] <Jangari> hdon, it could be that I'm running the 'all platforms' version, the pure java one
[01:05] <hocem> please how to run network manager?
[01:05] <SkEmO> how can i enable my wireless card? kubuntu just doesent recognize it
[01:05] <kbrosnan> edju: prefs.js is quite readable, that is where all the changed about:config settings are
[01:05] <hdon> Jangari: only if the maintainers haven't implemented a remote/dispatcher for the pure-java implementation
[01:05] <nalioth> !wireless > SkEmO
[01:06] <Jangari> hmm, where do these remotes sit?
[01:06] <kbrosnan> edju: in your profile ~/.mozilla/firefox/...
[01:06] <hocem> help please
[01:06] <SkEmO> ok, thanks nalioth
[01:06] <Labmonkey1> tech and janguri: back
[01:06] <hdon> Jangari: in between the typical invocation path (the command that gets run when you open the program with or without filenames for opening) and the actual program binary
[01:06] <Jangari> i had to create my own by 'run a custom command: /usr/local/bin/oxygen/oxygen.sh'
[01:06] <Labmonkey1> tech:  none of that fixed the problem
[01:06] <hdon> Jangari: the remote/dispatcher will either open a new instance of the application, or it will just tell the currently running one to open something new
[01:06] <Labmonkey1> but I have more information
[01:07] <Jangari> right,
[01:07] <nicklas_> i wanna say something smart, but nothing coming up in my mind :-P
[01:07] <jwcgator> Hey guys, I need some help pairing my bluetooth phone to my computer
[01:07] <hdon> Jangari: you'll need to ask the maintainers of the program if there is a reason this doesn't exist or isn't properly configured for your system in the pure java version
[01:07] <rblst> thebloggu, thanks, i wasnt attentive enough, i managed to change it
[01:07] <Jangari> is there a flag or something that i can add to that terminal command to open the specified/selected file in a new tab of a current instance?
[01:07] <hdon> Jangari: depends on the application
[01:07] <edju> kbrosnan, Indeed, that's it.  Thanks.
[01:07] <Labmonkey1> tech: both screens work while loading up
[01:07] <hdon> Jangari: you'll need to ask the developers or look into the code yourself -- i wouldn't know about implementing such a remote/dsipatcher in java personally
[01:08] <thebloggu> rblst, you're welcome
[01:08] <Labmonkey1> but the external one stops right after gnome loads
[01:08] <Labmonkey1> you there?
[01:08] <rblst> zsquareplusc: thanks, i've solved it
[01:08] <thebloggu> zsquareplusc, im trying to work it out
[01:08] <jwcgator> Every time i try to connect my phone to my computer (as in, my phone finds my computer and lets me connect), I Kernel Panic
[01:08] <techsuperfreak> monkey:  with the lid up, try the Fn F5 a few times and see if anything changes
[01:08] <Jangari> okay, i'll send oxygen support an email
[01:08] <Jangari> thanks guys
[01:08] <Jangari> hdon, specifically
[01:08] <zsquareplusc> thebloggu: right, they list that as a feature but there are no docs...  maybe it isn't working bacuase the keys are assigned in system>prefs>keyboard shortcuts?
[01:08] <Labmonkey1> tech: f5? ok il try
[01:09] <techsuperfreak> monkey:  Yeah, on dell i think it is function and f5
[01:09] <thebloggu> zsquareplusc, yes, i think is that
[01:09] <pyrophelia> will 8.10 be updated with 2.6.28 or are they going to save that for the next release?
[01:10] <Flannel> pyrophelia: No, it wont
[01:10] <Labmonkey1> tech: woot! it works, but it wasn't f5
[01:10] <pyrophelia> didn't think so
[01:10] <zsquareplusc> Labmonkey1: the key with a square in the colors of the Fn key, together with the FN key should toggle the VGA output (othen there are 3 states, so try to press it multiple times)
[01:10] <techsuperfreak> monkey:  which key?
[01:10] <Labmonkey1> well
[01:10] <Labmonkey1> f8 is my crt/lcd key, and I had tried that before
[01:10] <Labmonkey1> but I just decided to hit random stuff, and the font key (f7) worked
[01:11] <techsuperfreak> monkey: odd, but it works
[01:11] <Labmonkey1> the screen is slightly off, but I can adjust it (hopefully)
[01:11] <pyrophelia> Has anybody here use ext4 yet?
[01:11] <Labmonkey1> thanks for the help
[01:11] <techsuperfreak> monkey: np
[01:11] <onetinsoldier> pyrophelia: good question
[01:11] <pyrophelia> used*
[01:12] <pyrophelia> excuse me
[01:12] <blampars> wpc11 wireless card stops working in fresh ibex install after updating and rebooting. any help?
[01:12] <techsuperfreak> blampars:  when you say stops working, does the system still recognize?
[01:13] <jwcgator> My computer kernel panics every time I attempt to pair my phone with my USB Bluetooth dongle, any help? :S
[01:13] <blampars> no, the system does not recognize the card any longer
[01:14] <techsuperfreak> blampars: wpc11 is pcmcia?
[01:14] <blampars> techsuperfreak: yes it is
[01:14] <techsuperfreak> blampars:  output of iwconfig?
[01:14] <pyrophelia> Has ubutnu 64bit friendly with flash yet?  Last time I tried 64bit I ended up doing some long drawn out process to create a 32bit shell just for flash.  That may not be entirely accurate but it was it was overly complicated.
[01:15] <pyrophelia> has Ubuntu 64bit become* friendly with flash yet...
[01:15] <n2diy> I just tried to DL a video, and Totem is giving me an error message about Gstreamer support libs?
[01:15] <onetinsoldier> pyrophelia: i can help with that
[01:15] <jwcgator> (again) My computer kernel panics every time I attempt to pair my phone with my USB Bluetooth dongle, any help? :S
[01:15] <zsquareplusc> pyrophelia: you mean a chroot? :-)  flash is not apt-getable with a 32/64 bit wrapper (automatically) and adobe also has a64 bit beta
[01:15] <blampars> techsuperfreak: my buddy has since reinstalled ibex w/o downloading or installing updates.  so i dont think iwconfig would help atm :(
[01:16] <pyrophelia> they have a 64bit version?
[01:16] <onetinsoldier> pyrophelia: yes.. but it takes a manual download of a file and manual install
[01:16] <blampars> just found that out heh
[01:16] <pyrophelia> I was not aware of that
[01:16] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, hey man i thought it worked but it didnt
[01:16] <onetinsoldier> pyrophelia: pretty easy though
[01:16] <techsuperfreak> blampars:  eject device, reinsert and tai the dmesg
[01:16] <justmeok> what services can i use to synchronize my tomboynotes?
[01:17] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins: new info?
[01:17] <onetinsoldier> pyrophelia: you go here and download file at the bottom of the page -->  http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
[01:17] <pyrophelia> ew
[01:17] <pyrophelia> it's alpha
[01:18] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, well... it showed that I was copying and moving files but when i took the mp3 player off the usb and plugged it back it, it went back as if I hadnt copied anything
[01:18] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins, before removing the device, did you unount?
[01:18] <norman_> pyrophelia, but it works!
[01:18] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, no
[01:18] <onetinsoldier> pyrophelia: doesn't matter.. it's very stable, and better than many final releases i've seen. this is the second version of the alpha and even the first one was very good
[01:18] <zsquareplusc> MrCollins: you did unmount that device, din't you?
[01:18] <MrCollins> zsquareplusc, no
[01:19] <justmeok> how do you undo a delete word in tomboynotes? i cant seem to find it ANYWHERE!
[01:19] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins: try again, this time from the terminal, unmount the device and let me know
[01:19] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, ok
[01:19] <zsquareplusc> MrCollins: you access devices as external storage, always unmount (eject button in nautlius, or rightclick) or not all data is written there
[01:20] <mm> hdon: i figured out how to run the app... for example i have to type 'java -jar "/home/mm/Desktop/testing/dist/testing.jar"' in order for it to work. Is there a way in ubuntu to run it from ANY folder on my computer?
[01:20] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, ok I unmounted it
[01:20] <mm> hdon: without typing the full path?
[01:20] <Guest18381> kroffe whay's good dog
[01:21] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins:  try on other machine and see
[01:21] <xvistax> .
[01:21] <zsquareplusc> mm: make a little shell script with that line and put it into /usr/local/bin :-)
[01:21] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, on the windows machine?
[01:21] <hdon> mm: well there are different ways to do what you're asking, but it depends on to what end you want it
[01:21] <techsuperfreak> mrecollins: yeah, isn't that what you tried before?
[01:21] <hdon> mm: if you just want an easy command to type, then you can add an alias to your ~/.bashrc file (if your'e using bash)
[01:21] <mm> zsquareplusc: im new to ubuntu... dont know how to do the shell script
[01:22] <mm> hdon: in english :)
[01:22] <hdon> mm: brb 1 min
[01:22] <zerothis> I took my hard drive out of my no-CD no-USB device. Used unetbootin on it. Back in my device, it says it cannot detect my CD?
[01:22] <zsquareplusc> mm as hdon indicates, there are other ways too. e.g. if you want to have a starter icon. but the shell script is a text file starting with #!/bin/sh  following commandy you would type at the console
[01:23] <Guest18381> kroffe
[01:23] <Tweak1029> I've got a friend using a bcm306.  Does anybody know if/how it can be set up?
[01:23] <Tweak1029> Maybe using ndiswrapper, but I've never used that before.
[01:23] <Tweak1029> If you need to ask him a question, he's here as "mesa"
[01:23] <tsal> how the heck do I change the default irc network on xchat-gnome?
[01:23] <mm> zsquareplusc: im sure there are many ways but im looking for the easiest one ... under Windows I would type java program.class at ANY place on the PC as long as the program.class is in the same folder of where I am at the prompt
[01:23] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, it shows the same thing as this ubuntu box
[01:24] <mm> this is pretty much what im looking for
[01:24] <sloopy> mm, use alias  'alias dothis=java -jar etc'
[01:24] <justmeok> can anyone tell me what's the shortcut keys for undo and redo in ubuntu?
[01:24] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins:  were you copying to or from the windows box?
[01:24] <mm> sloopy: can you explain how to use it?
[01:24] <zsquareplusc> mm that should also work in ubuntu (maybe w/o .class)
[01:24] <tsal> justmeok: It depends on your application
[01:24] <sloopy> mm, alias name=command
[01:25] <mm> zsquareplusc: its not for some reason i have to type full path in order for it to work
[01:25] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, I have full r/w access on the windows box
[01:25] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins:  are you moving files from windows to linux or vice versa?
[01:25] <tsal> mm: full path to the class or full path to java?
[01:25] <mm> tsal: to class
[01:25] <mm> eg: java -jar "/home/mm/Desktop/testing/dist/testing.jar"
[01:26] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, neither i just want to write mp3 to the player in order to listen to them
[01:26] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins
[01:26] <techsuperfreak> okay, so the machines show the same thing?
[01:26] <tsal> mm: I'm assuming (I came in late) that you're running this in /home/mm/Desktop/testing/dist/ ?
[01:26] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, but i wish to figure this out in ubuntu because I am anti ms!
[01:26] <sloopy> mm, 'alias run_test=java -jar "/home/mm/Desktop/testing/dist/testing.jar"
[01:27] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins:  ok, so you have mp3s on the ubuntu machine and want to copy to the usb device?
[01:27] <sloopy> drop first tick before alias
[01:27] <myerkx> Hello, I was wondering if anyone can give me any pointers. I cannot get Ubuntu to boot when I install my NVIDIA GE Force 9400 GT, the loading bar stops 1/4 th of the way. I tried everything online but it all fails, any ideas (Clean Install)
[01:27] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins: just want to make sure I understand
[01:27] <mm> sloopy it works fine without the alias if I type in full path.. im trying to avoid it
[01:27] <mm> I want to simply type java program.class and for it to work
[01:27] <mm> i dont want to list full path
[01:27] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, you are correct
[01:27] <mm> tsal: yes, thats the path
[01:27] <hdon> mm: do you use bash? (is that the ubuntu default?)
[01:28] <mm> hdon: yes
[01:28] <hdon> mm: if you use bash as the default, you can add this line to your ~/.bashrc
[01:28] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins:  okay, so mount the usb device, copy files and then make sure to unmount na dlet me know how it goes
[01:28] <sloopy> with the alias all you will have to type 'run_test'
[01:28] <hdon> mm: alias myprogram='java -jar /path/to/jar.jar'
[01:28] <hdon> mm: then you can just type `myprogram` to run it
[01:28] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, ok so i do sudo mount /dev/sde1 /media/mp3player ?
[01:29] <hdon> mm: you'll need to restart your shell before the alias will take effect (try `exec bash`)
[01:29] <mm> hdon: i have to do this every single time I get a new program out? there has to be a universal way of simply typing java program.class to execute it just like in windows
[01:29] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins: yes, to unoumnt, type umount /media/mp3player
[01:29] <hdon> mm: i think most java developers expect you to run their programs with double-clicking icons in a graphical shell
[01:30] <n8tuser> mm you have to understand classpath, if you were using an IDE those are setup within an ide environment, so if you need jars, you have to setup your classpath
[01:30] <WoLf_Loonie> Hello, and sorry to disturb.. a quick question: How can I get my WAN ip on Ubuntu, without using any external site? UPNP?
[01:31] <qwexer> bluetooth adapter not showing up, I run lsusb and broadcom corp shows up when connected but bluetooth icon does not appear
[01:31] <uber_noober> Howdy folks! Quick question, I'm trying to play a DVD without results. I have installed both w32codecs and libdvdcss2. Anyone have a solution?
[01:31] <billcho> ...
[01:31] <zsquareplusc> WoLf_Loonie: depends on your router.. your local ip, you see with ifconfig
[01:31] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, brian@lokbox:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/mp3player
[01:31] <MrCollins> mount: block device /dev/sdc1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[01:31] <antoniopr> buenas, alguien habla español?
[01:31] <Thunderdome> I'm trying to save a document in my home folder, but I continue to get the error "error saving the document Forbidden Destination: General Error. General input/output error."
[01:31] <Anacranom> uber_noober, have you tried vlc?
[01:31] <uber_noober> yup, vlc, xine, mplayer etc
[01:31] <zsquareplusc> !es | antoniopr
[01:31] <eseven73> !restricted | uber_noober
[01:32] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins:  sudo mount /dev/sdc1 -o rw /media/mp3player
[01:32] <antoniopr> jajaja good bot!
[01:32] <Thunderdome> I'm trying to save a document in my home folder, but I continue to get the error "error saving the document Forbidden Destination: General Error. General input/output error."
[01:32] <Decepticon> what should i do to compress files inside a dir, not the dir
[01:32] <WoLf_Loonie> zsquareplusc: yeah I can see the local ip with that, but I need the WAN ip for a script, and I would prefeer to not have keep accessing some external resource over and over
[01:32] <Anacranom> uber_noober, with vlc, any dependencies it will ask you to install... did you?
[01:32] <uber_noober> eseven73: I did all that...no luck
[01:32] <Jordan_U> Thunderdome, What application?
[01:33] <thebloggu> i changed some keys in gnome-keybinding-proprieties. how can i reset default ?
[01:33] <WoLf_Loonie> on XP I get a "virtual" connection from the router, that states it's WAN ip and the uptime, speed and such
[01:33] <Thunderdome> Jordan_U: OpenOffice
[01:33] <tsal> mm: let me make sure I'm understanding this correctly - you want to execute a class within a JAR file?
[01:33] <eseven73> uber_noober: have you tried the medibuntu repos?
[01:33] <WoLf_Loonie> through UPNP
[01:33] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, $ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 -o rw /media/mp3player
[01:33] <MrCollins> mount: block device /dev/sdc1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[01:33] <zsquareplusc> WoLf_Loonie: well then it depends on the box that does the NAT. maybe you can parse some config webpage, maybe it has a telnet interface. other solutions might be registering at dyndns.org or a similar service and use a name
[01:34] <uber_noober> eseven73: all's well in that department. How can I find out if the disk is encrypted or not?
[01:34] <thebloggu> i changed some keys in gnome-keybinding-properties. how can i reset default ?
[01:34] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins:  same prob as before?  pressing button to enable read-write?
[01:34] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, ive tried it both ways
[01:34] <uber_noober> Anacranom: I used aptitude to check for dependencies
[01:34] <eseven73> uber_noober: not sure, ive never used encryption
[01:34] <mooglenorph> Hello. I'm trying to install libdvdcss2, like it says in this how-to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[01:34] <uber_noober> hm, this is weird
[01:35] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins:  unplug and replug the device, then tail dmesg so we can make sure the device is still /dev/sdc1
[01:35] <mooglenorph> When I try to connect to the medibuntu servers during apt-get update, the connection times out.
[01:35] <WoLf_Loonie> zsquareplusc: Thanks, I didn't think about using the configuration pages. that would pretty much solve my issue with a curl =)
[01:35] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak,
[01:35] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, ok
[01:35] <mooglenorph> (all other repos connect and update fine)
[01:36] <plzhelp4444> Would someone please help me i<ve just installed ubuntu and there is problem with the authentication
[01:36] <zsquareplusc> WoLf_Loonie: the upnp info might also be available as http get. but upnp seems to be not really well supported..
[01:36] <WoLf_Loonie> zsquareplusc: understood. Thanks a lot for the help =)
[01:36] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, $ sudo tail dmesg
[01:36] <MrCollins> tail: cannot open `dmesg' for reading: No such file or directory

[01:38] <zsquareplusc> plzhelp4444: you usually use sudo/gksu to do stuff as admin. if that doesnt work, you might want to boot into the recovery mode

[01:42] <zsquareplusc> nwbie__: drivers? really?  that's kernel modules then in the usual terminology. kernel.org is your staring point
[01:42] <plzhelp4444> zsquareplusc: i go to System > Administration > Usersand Groups, everything is locked, wheni try to unlock i get an "unexpected error, could not authenticate"
[01:42] <onetinsoldier> nwbie__: O'reilly used to make a good book simply titled "Linux Device Drivers"

[01:42] <zsquareplusc> plzhelp4444: oh. and when you open a terminal window and type  "gksu echo ok" does it show an error message
[01:43] <cipherz> anyone had any luck with the atheros 5006ex and ubuntu 8.10 ?
[01:43] <white-sheep> ssdt: Because apparently you have two Windows partitions -- Maybe Windows Recovery Partition?
[01:43] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins:  still says write protect is on, when plugging in
[01:43] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, yes
[01:43] <plzhelp4444> <Failed to run echo as user 'root'>
[01:43] <MrCollins> wait
[01:43] <ferfactor> any idea with this error ?
[01:43] <ferfactor> http://paste.ubuntu.com/95538/
[01:43] <ssdt> white-sheep, then can i just close one of them and use it for the ubuntu?
[01:43] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, wait
[01:43] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins:  eject and try the button again and reinsert
[01:44] <MrCollins> wait!
[01:44] <plzhelp4444> what i messed up is i put a password on the root account and removed admin privs from the user i should have just left it alone!
[01:44] <white-sheep> ssdt: Uh -- You don't close it.  You want to keep Windows?
[01:44] <ssdt> yeah and ubuntu too
[01:44] <MrCollins> techsuperfreak, so wait, now I switch the switch this time and i mount and it says write protect is off so now I copy files, unmount and try again?
[01:44] <plzhelp4444> it saysthis:<Failed to run echo as user 'root'>
[01:45] <zsquareplusc> plzhelp4444: ok, so you can open a root shell? then just do an "adduser  youruser admin" as root
[01:45] <techsuperfreak> mrcollins:  yes
[01:45] <white-sheep> ssdt: Google for dualbooting (Windows + Ubuntu).  There are handful of tutorials on the net.
[01:45] <ferfactor> http://paste.ubuntu.com/95538/ any idea with this?
[01:45] <plzhelp4444> how to i become root

[01:46] <zsquareplusc> techsuperfreak: he removed the admin, so sudo wont work
[01:46] <plzhelp4444> [sudo] password for janina:
[01:46] <plzhelp4444> janina is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[01:46] <techsuperfreak> zsquareplesc: ahh
[01:47] <plzhelp4444> i ty[ed janina@janina-laptop:~$ sudo adduser janina admin
[01:47] <anfangs> is there any way to install a minimal x environment on server 8.10?
[01:47] <zsquareplusc> techsuperfreak: and what you suggest is not recommended anyway ;-) sudo -i instead, see !sudo
[01:47] <eseven73> anfangs: 'sudo apt-get install fluxbox' or xubuntu-desktop
[01:48] <zsquareplusc> anfangs: yes, there is. but dont ask me for a package name. i usually just install xterm if i need the basic X stuff
[01:48] <zsquareplusc> plzhelp4444: you tried just "su"? it will ask for the root password
[01:48] <ssdt> thank you white-sheep for helping me with the link
[01:48] <anfangs> eseven73, zsquareplusc: i basically want to be able to run firefox, but I don't really want to full blown ubuntu-desktop
[01:49] <eseven73> anfangs: fluxbox or xubuntu
[01:49] <eseven73> or Enlightenment
[01:49] <EeveeTrainer> help, i have a virus... does anyone know any good antivirrus programs ??
[01:49] <anfangs> eseven73: thank you
[01:49] <eseven73> yw
[01:49] <hansel> EeveeTrainer: ClamAV
[01:49] <zsquareplusc> anfangs: xubuntu gives you a smalll desktop.  you want to run the desktop on the server or remotely?
[01:49] <eseven73> !virus | EeveeTrainer
[01:49] <anfangs> zsquareplusc: on the server
[01:50] <zsquareplusc> anfangs: then you need a window manager like fluxbox, ion3.  or simply use xfce then you get a start menu and more which is still using not many resources
[01:51] <zsquareplusc> anfangs: xfce = install xubuntu-desktop
[01:51] <anfangs> zsquareplusc: does that install all the miscellaneous appls like ubuntu-desktop does?
[01:51] <eseven73> xubuntu is nice its like gnome but without any resource usage
[01:51] <zur47> join #ubuntu-es
[01:51] <anfangs> apps*
[01:52] <zsquareplusc> anfangs: yes it will.  if you want less, try xfce4 or some other window manager alone
[01:52] <plzhelp4444> OK that worked i can see that i now have admin privs andi have removed the root passwd, but User Settings still gives an error when i user unlock
[01:52] <anfangs> zsquareplusc: thanks
[01:52] <zsquareplusc> anfangs: but then you might need to start X manually with startx. you'l get a login manager by installing gdm or xdm
[01:52] <plzhelp4444> so i cannot addany more users
[01:53] <zsquareplusc> plzhelp4444: groups are only applied when you log in freshly
[01:53] <anfangs> zsquareplusc: ok. gotcha
[01:53] <plzhelp4444> ok ill try that now thanku v much for ur help

[01:58] <Joeseph> Hi. I'm trying to install Zebra (webcam barcode scanner).   whenever I run ./configure ,  It gets a while, then I get this error: "configure: error: Package requirements (ImageMagick++ >= 6.2.6) were not met: " .... then it suggests to "Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable "
[01:58] <Lothsahn> I'm running kubuntu and my KDE desktop settings are all corrupted by an upgrade.  I want to reset everything--the bottom bar, the panels, everything to the default kubuntu install.  Is there a way to do this?
[01:58] <Joeseph> any idea what I need to different?

[01:59] <Fret18> Well, I'm having some problems with flash player, could someone help me?
[01:59] <Satisfied> is there something so special about xmms/audacious that it's the only media player in linux with a decent and usable equalizer?
[01:59] <Paradoxx> Which rss readers would you all recommend if any?
[01:59] <techsuperfreak> joseph:  install imagemagick
[01:59] <zsquareplusc> Joeseph: you likely need to install one of these, output by that command: apt-cache search imagemagick | grep dev
[02:00] <hansel> Fret18: its helpful if you ask a specific question about your specific problem.  We are here and willing to help.  No need to ask if you can ask or ask if we can help with a general problem.  Be specific.
[02:00] <Joeseph> zsquareplusc: Thanks, I'll try installing some of those and see what happens.
[02:00] <Davekong> !mpg
[02:00] <Fret18> hansel: I was just asking. My flash plays too slow.
[02:01] <Fret18> hansel: YouTube videos and Flash games all play slowly.
[02:01] <Fret18> And, kind of, lagging.
[02:02] <hansel> what are your system stats?  Maybe its expected that it lag like this?
[02:02] <jzitt> I'm trying to get a VFAT flash drive to mount under a consistent name under eeeBuntu on my Asus Eee 701. One bit of info I had told me to label the drive, which I did, but don't know how to proceed from there. Any clues/pointers?
[02:02] <hansel> Do you know which flash plugin you are using?
[02:02] <doglino> hello what the directory correspondent to program files of windows in linux?
[02:02] <Paradoxx> Fret18, Which Flash plug in are you using? I currently have a similar problem
[02:02] <Joeseph> Fret18: Are you in firefox? if so, do you know which flash plugin you are using?
[02:02] <chack-2> hello
[02:02] <takashi> hello
[02:02] <chack-2> how to mount raid partition plz
[02:02] <Fret18> I'm using Firefox 3.0, Adobe Flash Player version 10.
[02:02] <pyrophelia> does anybody here have any experience with tablet pc's and ubuntu?
[02:03] <zsquareplusc> doglino: programs are usualy not just a single file and they are installed at different locations. what do you want to know really?
[02:04] <Paradoxx> How do I uninstall a flash plugin?
[02:05] <Fret18> Also, instead of playing those flash ads directly, there appears a 'Play' button, and you have to click to show the flash content.
[02:05] <Fret18> It happens to every flash content.
[02:05] <SaturnDriver> Oh great, more flash problems. I ended up uninstalling the flash plugin
[02:05] <zsquareplusc> Fret18: did you install adblock or noscript for firefox?
[02:05] <dr_willis> doglino,  you can use the package manager tools to see exactly what files a program installed and where.
[02:05] <SaturnDriver> with me, flash ads end up overlapping other stuff
[02:05] <Joeseph> zsquareplusc: thanks for the help, that package seemed to do the job.
[02:05] <Fret18> zsquareplusc: no.
[02:05] <SaturnDriver> and youtube doesn't work :/
[02:06] <doglino> zsquareplusc I installed Skype and Opera bronwser and I want to know where they are
[02:06] <Fret18> It works for me, but poorly.
[02:06] <zsquareplusc> SaturnDriver: try totem for youtube (sidebar)
[02:06] <doglino> I insorry about english
[02:06] <Fret18> doglino: they might be in Applications>Internet
[02:06] <SaturnDriver> zsquareplusc: If I can't get the plugin working properly ill just live without youtube
[02:07] <Joeseph> oh.... now I need the 'pygtk-2.0' package....   I seem to have the "python-gtk2" ....  does anyone know the difference?
[02:07] <russ_> hello
[02:07] <pyrophelia> Ok I want to start some trouble.  Who can recommend the best ultra portable laptop (less than 5lbs and smaller than 17") that is fully compatible with Ubuntu?
[02:07] <russ_> Can I have different wallpapers on my dual monitor setup?
[02:07] <zsquareplusc> doglino: "which someprogram" tells you where the binary is but thats not all the applications need. when you installed them as a package (what you should have done), dpkg -L <packagename> gives you a list of files
[02:08] <pyrophelia> Russ_, if I remember correctly yes, but you have to disable compiz to do it.
[02:08] <Fret18> Anything else about flash?
[02:08] <Fret18> :P
[02:08] <dr_willis> russ_,   I just join 2 wallpapers to one WIDE one. :)
[02:08] <jzitt> pyrophelia: I'm happily running eeeBuntu on my Asus Eee 701.
[02:08] <pyrophelia> er wait no
[02:08] <russ_> dr_willis: how do you do that?
[02:09] <tsal> mm's problem was OpenJDK doesn't seem to recognize anything to do with Unix path's.  It didn't even expand ./
[02:09] <pyrophelia> you could assign each desktop in compiz a unique wallpaper but you lost your desktop icons.  wasn't sure if that was a bug or not
[02:09] <tsal> After installing SUN JDK, it works.
[02:09] <dr_willis> russ_,  with a image editor.. such as GIMP
[02:09] <judgepg> Folks, can anyone give me a hand with resume from suspend not working via USB?  I've enabled the USB ports to react on wakeup in /proc/acpi/wakeup  Any thoughts?
[02:09] <pyrophelia> jzitt, why is there a special notation for the eee's?  I understand they dont have a cd rom, but is there anything else?
[02:10] <chack-2> some one can helpme?
[02:10] <doglino> I will try, thanks]
[02:10] <pyrophelia> chack-2, just ask your question
[02:10] <pyrophelia> oh sorry
[02:10] <lawstudent> hi, folks. all of a sudden our internet stopped working. by removing our wireless router from the equation, the internet is now accessible again. what could be the problem? we want to use our wireless router?
[02:10] <pyrophelia> chack-2, what kind of raid?
[02:11] <hansel> lawstudent - so wireless was working then kablamo it stopped?
[02:11] <lawstudent> (I'm typing on my friend's cabled/wired Windows XP computer, because my Ubuntu comp is on wireless, and I didn't want to complicate our troubleshooting.
[02:11] <Fret18> Apparently, the flash problem happened with Flash 9 and it was fixed by Flash 10 to some people, but not to me.
[02:11] <lawstudent> hansel: well wired too was working and then kablamo.
[02:11] <Joeseph> Does anyone know if there is a difference in the "﻿pygtk-2.0" and the ﻿"python-gtk2" packages?  I seem to need the first for a dependency for Zebra, but I can't find it in the repositories... any ideas?
[02:11] <hansel> lawstudent - plug it back in, connect wirelessly and then            dmesg | tail -f
[02:11] <normloman> does any other computer work with the wireless?
[02:11] <lawstudent> hansel: i'm on my friend's winxp computer
[02:11] <hansel> lawstudent - sounds like your router might have tripped on itself... it has been known to happen.
[02:12] <lawstudent> tripped?
[02:12] <lawstudent> hansel: tripped = garbage?
[02:12] <hansel> vommited profusely?
[02:12] <doglino> zsquareplusc was exactly what I wanted WHICH
[02:12] <hansel> basically a part of the logic got goofed up and it just stops working.
[02:12] <pyrophelia> such colorful language.
[02:12] <lawstudent> normloman: no. when the dell wireless router is used, neither Wired winxp comp nor Wireless ubuntu comp works
[02:13] <normloman> if winxp and ubuntu dont work... id agree with ahnsel
[02:13] <pyrophelia> lawstudent, have you rebooted the router?
[02:13] <lawstudent> hansel: stopped working temporarily? or is it permanently damaged?
[02:13] <chack-2> i want to mount a raid partition
[02:13] <hansel> lawstudent - Try turning off the router, turn off your cable modem, then plug in the cable modem and wait for all lights to come on.  Then plug in the router and wait for its lights to come on.  Then reconnect each computer.
[02:13] <chack-2> from a rescue console
[02:13] <lawstudent> pyrophelia: yes.
[02:13] <hansel> lawstudent - most likely just temporarily... let's try the Microsoft approach of "reboot everything" and see if that fixes it.  If it occurs again in the next few minutes then maybe something altogether more sinister is at work...
[02:13] <chack-2> mount /dev/sda1 /mdeia/disque
[02:13] <lawstudent> pyrophelia: unplugged power cable and replugged. went to web browser config and did a factory default thingamajig.
[02:13] <chack-2> dont work
[02:13] <energY> One of my irssi terminals disseapread
[02:13] <chack-2> plz help me
[02:14] <chack-2> this is an imergency
[02:14] <energY> But the nick is still active
[02:14] <pyrophelia> lawstudent, if it's factory default you may have turned wifi off.
[02:14] <jzitt> pyrophelia: It's a distro tweaked for the Eee. The boxes are standardized enough, and the small screen presents enough challenges, that a distro   with a kernel and apps specifically for it makes sense,
[02:14] <pyrophelia> lawstudent, or reset the esid
[02:14] <n8tuser> lawstudent - call some indians support -- thats what you will get for supporting dell
[02:14] <hansel> chack-2         sudo lshw -C storage         see what /dev/sdX's are available... then       sudo fdisk -l to see which partitions are available.
[02:14] <SpinachHead> hi after booting an open suse live cd (not installing) now when I boot my ubuntu hardy install I get the pop up "Your screen and graphics card could be detected correctly and will now only run in low graphics mode.  Do I have to reinstall NVID drivers or reconfig X?
[02:14]  * pyrophelia shakes head @ n8tuser 
[02:14] <lawstudent> pyrophelia: yes, but still the wired connection on a wirelless router should still work. But in fact, wired using wireless router does not work.
[02:15] <lawstudent> pyrophelia: what's esid? and how to reset?
[02:15] <tsal> anyone know of a way to change the default server on xchat-gnome?
[02:15] <jzitt> pyrophelia: But trying to get the removable flash drive to mount under a consistent name is baffling me.
[02:15] <hansel> lawstudent - in the Status panel does it show that your router has a WAN ip address?  ie; not 192.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x?
[02:15] <pyrophelia> lawstudent, wait your saying wired connections don't work when wireless is enabled?
[02:15] <hansel> and definitely not a 169.x.x.x address?
[02:15] <lawstudent> hansel: when i last checked, there was NO wan ip address.
[02:15] <hansel> lawstudent - so lets login to your cable modem.... if your router is 192.168.1.1 try 192.168.100.1 for the cable modem.
[02:16] <lawstudent> pyrophelia: that's right. wired connection does NOT work when wireless router is used.
[02:16] <lawstudent> hansel: is there a way for me to determine my cable modem's ip address?
[02:16] <normloman> for further refference, essid  stands for extended service set identifier
[02:16] <chack-2> hansel, i whant to mount /dev/sda1
[02:17] <hansel> lawstudent - if you go to 192.168.100.1 it oughta let you see.  Or just go to www.findmyip.com from a working computer.
[02:17] <chack-2> its i radi disque that's the prablem
[02:17] <pyrophelia> lawstudent, ok i'm convinced.  your router is possessed by the specter in ghost busters I.
[02:17] <chack-2> raid*
[02:17] <hansel> chack-2 you've confirmed it's there, exists, and isn't already mounted?
[02:17] <tsal> raid?
[02:17] <normloman> it identifies the name of the wireles network i believe
[02:17] <pyrophelia> you know who to call
[02:17] <lawstudent> hansel: based on findmyip.com: 216.18.24.117
[02:17] <tsal> chack-2: What are you using for software RAID?
[02:17] <ThipThip> I can't seem to make scheduled tasks / crontab work.  If I run the task manually, it works fine, but crond won't run it.
[02:17] <hansel> lawstudent - well somewhere in your router I imagine it would show that address as well if it's all working.
[02:18] <chack-2> hansel, yes that dosn't work because this is a raid
[02:18] <tsal> chack-2: Or is this connected to a RAID controller?
[02:18] <Swish> ThipThip, what's the filename of your script?
[02:18] <lawstudent> hansel: when i go to 216.18.24.117  on my firefox, it says i cannot establish a connection to server at 216.18.24.117
[02:18] <chack-2> tsal
[02:18] <chack-2> a have sda1 et sdb1
[02:18] <pyrophelia> jzitt: can't you specify it by device ID?
[02:18] <lawstudent> hansel: at this time, my wireless router is NOT plugged in
[02:18] <chack-2> a thinf this is a raid controller
[02:18] <tsal> hmm
[02:18] <ThipThip> Swish: the command is to make C-SPAN play using VLC player: vlc /home/justin/Desktop/c-span.xspf
[02:18] <nwbie__> I removed the internet icon on the upper right corner by mistake, how can I restore it?
[02:19] <normloman> nwbie - did you remove it from the top bar?
[02:19] <Swish> try using the full path to vlc
[02:19] <normloman> or was it on the desktop?
[02:19] <tsal> chack-2: hmm. I'm not sure if a raid device would be called "sda", though I've not messed with RAID devices on Ubuntu
[02:19] <Swish> ThipThip, cron'd tasks may not have the same PATH as you have when you login
[02:19] <nwbie__> normloman, yes
[02:19] <Belboz99> hey all, I'm trying to start gnome-session on a remote computer through SSH, I've been trying to simply set the DISPLAY variable, but that hasn't worked, any ideas?
[02:19] <normloman> haha
[02:19] <chack-2> ok so this is a soft raid
[02:19] <chack-2> how to mount it plz
[02:19] <normloman> ok well the two grey bars usually on top and bottom
[02:20] <nwbie__> normloman, on the top bar
[02:20] <normloman> they are your panels
[02:20] <ThipThip> Swish:  I don't think the path matters?  And also, it does nothing at all - doesn't even appear to try.
[02:20] <normloman> right click the panel
[02:20] <normloman> and select add to panel
[02:20] <hansel> chack-2       df -h    it probably already is.
[02:20] <nwbie__> yes
[02:20] <lawstudent> guys ( hansel, pyrophelia , etc) to see ipconfig when internet is working and ipconfig when internet is not working, pls see http://paste.ubuntu.com/95569/
[02:20] <chack-2> no
[02:20] <tsal> chack-2: You should have some devices named "md0" "md1" etc
[02:20] <normloman> then select custom application launcher
[02:20] <chack-2> yes
[02:20] <chack-2> whait
[02:20] <nwbie__> normloman, ok
[02:20] <normloman> what browser do you use? Firefox?
[02:21] <Swish> ThipThip, you can also try putting the entire command line inside a bash script, and naming the script "runvlc" or something similar
[02:21] <hansel> lawstudent - you bypassed your router in the first one...   your cable modem likely has cached the MAC address of your computer.
[02:21] <nwbie__> normloman, yes
[02:21] <Swish> ThipThip (don't use any punctuation in the command line)
[02:21] <hansel> lawstudent - therefore when you plug in your router it will not be able to obtain an IP because the cable modem isn't expecting it.
[02:21] <pyrophelia> lawstudent, I've got news for you, you're router is in bridge mode.
[02:21] <normloman> After you doubleclick on custom application launcher, there is a window
[02:21] <judgepg> guys, can anyone tell me how  I can change change the S-state for the USB?
[02:21] <chack-2> tsal, im connected to the server with rescue mode
[02:21] <ThipThip> Swish:  What can I use as a sample command, to just test to see if cron is working at all?
[02:21] <normloman> it saystype, name, commane, ect
[02:21] <lawstudent> hansel: ok. so what shall we do now.
[02:21] <chack-2> disuques are not connected
[02:21] <nwbie__> normloman, yes I got it
[02:21] <hansel> restart all devices.  leave them off for 30 seconds a pop.
[02:21] <tsal> chack-2: oh, and you're using LVM?
[02:22] <normloman> in the name part, put Firefox. In the command part, type firefox
[02:22] <lawstudent> pyrophelia: really? I think I've checkde severeal times, and router should be / is in gateway mode.
[02:22] <hansel> do a lil "you will work when I plug you back in" chant...
[02:22] <Swish> ThipThip, why not something like "echo foo > /tmp/bar.txt"  ?
[02:22] <judgepg> I want to change the S-state to level 3 (suspend to RAM).  How can I do that?
[02:22] <SpinachHead> If hardy herron stopped detecting my video card what do I do? xorg.conf looks right....  I alreay have Nvid drivers from their site installed....
[02:22] <chack-2> tsal, no
[02:22] <normloman> then press ok
[02:22] <Swish> ThipThip, google about "debugging cron" tasks if you need more things to try :)
[02:22] <pyrophelia> lawstudent, if it was your PC would get a 192. address when you plugged it in.  right now it's give you the IP of the cable modem, meaning it's not building a NAT list
[02:22] <tsal> chack-2: what are you using for your software RAID management, then?
[02:23] <SpinachHead> I can't get higher than 800X600 now
[02:23] <hikenboot> hello all anyone know how to get sound working i have been at it for about 2 hours with no luck
[02:23] <normloman> the command part of the application launcher corresponds to what you would type in the terminal if you were running a program from the terminal, so you can use application launchers for anything if you know the command
[02:23] <tsal> SpinachHead: did you change monitors?
[02:23] <hikenboot> i also have no volume icon in top right corner
[02:23] <chack-2> tsal, whait i will post some information that can be help
[02:23] <pyrophelia> lawstudent, also known as pass through.
[02:23] <zsquareplusc> judgepg: you mean suspend your pc right now? pm-suspend should do that
[02:23] <lawstudent> pyrophelia: all right. I'm not sure i understand. But what are the implications? in other words, can we solve this problem? how/
[02:23] <SpinachHead> no
[02:24] <nwbie__> normloman, I need the wireless connection icon, not the browser :s
[02:24] <judgepg> zsquareplusc: thanks for the reply.  I am looking for a way to restore my suspend using USB
[02:24] <tsal> Did you upgrade Xorg or the nvidia drivers?
[02:24] <SpinachHead> no
[02:24] <normloman> oh
[02:24] <Paradoxx> Fret18, It sounds like the have the gnash flash plugin installed. I also have that one. It sucks! Not sure how to uninstall it though
[02:24] <tsal> SpinachHead: And the most important question - did it work before? :)
[02:24] <normloman> i dont use wireless... im not so sure. Does anyone else know what nwbie is talking about?
[02:24] <hansel> hikenboot - from a terminal          sudo lshw -C sound
[02:24] <judgepg> zsquareplusc, I've checked /proc/acpi/wakeup and USB are in the S-state of 0.  Perhaps that's the problem?
[02:24] <normloman> sorry :-0
[02:24] <zsquareplusc> judgepg: you mean wakeup? then it's probably a BIOS setting
[02:25] <SpinachHead> yeah, the driver from Nvidia site I installed and it worked at high res for about 5 months
[02:25] <nwbie__> normloman, the one that helps you connect to the wireless networks
[02:25] <tsal> hmm
[02:25] <Fret18> Paradoxx: I'm trying something. If it works, I tell you. :)
[02:25] <SpinachHead> i get a blinking though when i boot
[02:25] <pyrophelia> lawstudent, give me the exact model number and name of your router and i'll see what I can do.  basically your router isn't a router now.  somehow it's been switched into a normal hub unit.
[02:25] <chack-2> tsal, i will post fdisk -l
[02:25] <Paradoxx> Fret18, sure m8. Thanks
[02:25] <chack-2> tsal, but this is in french
[02:25] <lawstudent> hansel: do you know what we should do?
[02:25] <normloman> hmm
[02:25] <hikenboot>  MCP2S AC'97 Audio Controller driver=Intel ICH latency=0 maxlatency=5 mingnt=2 module=snd_intel8x0
[02:25] <hansel> lawstudent - what I've told you twice now... and reset the router back to factory default 1 more time.
[02:25] <chack-2> tsal, how to translate that in english?
[02:25] <judgepg> zsquareplusc, I can resume from wakeup when I type on the laptop keyboard, but I prefer to keep the lid down and use an external keyboard
[02:25] <SpinachHead> such as /etc/rc.local and other boot daemons now blink like three times before hardy boots.  Don't know why
[02:26] <hansel> lawstudent - when it comes back connect to it from a computer on the network by pulling up a webbrowser and going to http://192.168.1.1
[02:26] <lawstudent> hansel: oh, you did give a suggestion. i did not see it because your msg was not highlighted because you did not use my nick. Moral: pls use my nick. 8-)
[02:26] <luddite> hi in the menu is a app called "image viewer" - whats its command line to open it please?
[02:26] <judgepg> zsquareplusc, think this might still be a BIOS issue?
[02:26] <zsquareplusc> judgepg: i don't really know what you have to change. i just noticed that the power button on my usb keyboard puts my pc into suspend but irt won't wake it up. i think the USB port is powered off
[02:26] <tsal> chack-2: go to http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste the results
[02:26] <pyrophelia> lawstudent, I agree with him.  Factory defaults here would be your best option.
[02:26] <hansel> Moral: you are asking a networking question in an Ubuntu channel and using a Windows computer to try to troubleshoot it....
[02:26] <tsal> chack-2: and I'll see if I can translate :)
[02:26] <normloman> nwbie, im looking for something online to help
[02:27] <nwbie__> normloman, I was trying to configure the icons on the deskbar, and by mistake I removed an icon that helped me connect to internet.
[02:27] <judgepg> zsquareplusc, That might be it.  Perhaps if there was a way not to power off the USB port, perhaps?
[02:27] <lawstudent> pyrophelia: Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router
[02:27] <nwbie__> normloman, thank you very much, I really appreciate it
[02:27] <normloman> ok nwbie
[02:27] <Rave1_> nwbie as before right click pannel click add to panel browse the list the icon is there addto panel
[02:27] <normloman> go to your terminal
[02:27] <nwbie__> normloman, ok
[02:27] <judgepg> zsquareplusc, thanks though for your help on this
[02:27] <normloman> in terminal type
[02:27] <normloman> sudo killall NetworkManager
[02:28] <normloman> type it exactly like that with caps in tact
[02:28] <zsquareplusc> normloman will also like pkill :-)
[02:28] <normloman> tell me if it gives you any errors
[02:28] <mbdl> hi there iv just installed ubuntu on my macbok pro 4.1 and the only thing i cant get working it the trackpad... i followed the instuctions via the community page but it doesnt work out of the box... cant right click
[02:28] <chack-2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/95574/
[02:28] <chack-2> tsal,
[02:29] <hikenboot> hansel, http://pastebin.ca/1296097
[02:29] <normloman> after that, type:          sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[02:29] <Fret18> Where should I extract a firefox plug-in to?
[02:29] <tsal> okay chack-2, those are part of a RAID volume
[02:29] <Fret18> To which folder(s)?
[02:29] <mbdl> ﻿hi there iv just installed ubuntu on my macbok pro 4.1 and the only thing i cant get working it the trackpad... i followed the instuctions via the community page but it doesnt work out of the box... cant right click
[02:29] <chack-2> ok
[02:29] <chack-2> i found it
[02:29] <chack-2> thanx to all
[02:30] <hansel> hikenboot: can you go to a terminal and type             sudo alsamixer
[02:30] <pyrophelia> lawstudent, reset the router one more time (following the exact instructions on how to reset).  if that doesn't work I don't know what else anybody can do.  the documentation for your router clearly states that the factory defualt for the router is to have dhcp enabled on the cable port.  if it's not building a NAT table (routable LAN IPs) after a reset your router may be bad.
[02:31] <mbdl> is it a bad time to ask a question?
[02:31] <normloman> nwbie, u there?
[02:31] <hansel> !ask
[02:31] <nwbie__> normloman, sorry, I used the commands you were telling me and I think I disconnected before knowing what else to do
[02:31] <normloman> oh ok
[02:31] <Fret18> Where should I extract a Firefox plug-in to?
[02:31] <normloman> after typing sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[02:31] <normloman> type
[02:31] <normloman> sudo NetworkManager
[02:31] <trav1085> i'm transferring some files in ubuntu to another partition (ntfs to fat32) and it is transferring at max 5 mb/sec -- i use EIDE interface is it limited to that speed
[02:32] <nwbie__> normloman, ok
[02:32] <hikenboot> hansel, says I am using pulse audio is this right?
[02:32] <normloman> and see if that works
[02:32] <Fret18> Where should I extract a Firefox plug-in to?
[02:32] <hansel> hikenboot - well I think you may be using the wrong driver...
[02:32] <mbdl> need help fixing trackpad on mac
[02:32] <SpinachHead> score sharks!
[02:32] <normloman> what these commands are doing is stopping the network manager, and restarting it
[02:32] <hansel> your lshw claims you have an nVidia sound card (didn't know they made those) and you are using an intel driver...
[02:32] <hikenboot> ah not the intel but ac97 audio or somthing instead
[02:32] <SpinachHead> Hmm, I just installed glx over the manual Nvidia and now it works...
[02:33] <lawstudent> pyrophelia: hansel. ok. i'm powering off my router and modem and computers for 30 secs +. pls save messages directed to me while I'm away. thanks!!!
[02:33] <scientes> i am unable to send mail through my postfix server but i recieve it fine
[02:33] <ThipThip> what's the easiest way to determine if crond (or whatever else is required for cron to work) is running?
[02:33] <scientes> i cant authenticate
[02:33] <hansel> scientes - your ISP may block you from sending outgoing mail through any servers but their own.
[02:33] <scientes> no
[02:33] <scientes> thats not the problem
[02:33] <onetinsoldier> hey. i'm trying to help some create a full xorg.conf file (while X is completely shut down) with the following command --> Xorg -configure  ....but they are getting a Signal 11 and and a complaint about it trying to open /dev/fb0 but that device file doesn't exist. any ideas?
[02:33] <nwbie__> normloman, nope, it didn't work. I think I did this about three years ago, but my memory is not very good and I do not remember how to fiix this :( Windows fried my brain
[02:34] <normloman> hmm
[02:34] <scientes> hansel, qwest does not block anything, the problem is solely in logging into my smtp server
[02:34] <Belboz99> ThipThip: ps -fade | grep cron
[02:34] <scientes> hansel, i could turn off authentication for my local net but i would like to get authentication working
[02:34] <nwbie__> normloman, I think I need to add a line in some configuration file
[02:34] <normloman> nwbie, i cant think of what to do. Im not exactly an expert
[02:34] <some1normal> hi ;) what's the best way to fix a extern dd
[02:34] <scientes> hansel, just using pam
[02:34] <ThipThip> So, indeed cron seems to be running.  I don't understand why jobs in crontab are not executing.
[02:34] <normloman> ask someone else, im a fraid. Sorry, wish i could help more.
[02:34] <hansel> scientes - well this is probably a better question for your specific MTA channel...
[02:35] <normloman> in mean time ill do some searches
[02:35] <hansel> ThipThip - tail -f /var/log/messages       and see if any failure indicators are present.
[02:35] <Rave1_> nwbie_ the icon for the panel is in the menu that you entered before by right clicking the panel
[02:35] <hansel> there is also likely a cron log specifically in /var/log for just such a thing but I never use it...
[02:36] <nwbie__> normloman, thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Specially because people like you help me keep up spreading the word and recommending ubuntu to my friends
[02:36] <ThipThip> hansel:  No, just a bunch of networking information.
[02:36] <nwbie__> normloman, I mean, by helping me
[02:36] <Fret18> Paradoxx: I don't know if it'll work, but try downloading mozilla-mplayer plug-in for Firefox. (sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer)
[02:37] <techsuperfreak> scientes: check main.cf and look for local delivery
[02:37] <some1normal> bey
[02:37] <Paradoxx> Fret18, Did that work for you? I think I have it installed already
[02:37] <scientes> what do you mean? techsuperfreak
[02:38] <Fret18_brb> Paradoxx: I'm installing it.
[02:38] <nwbie__> anyone knows how to restore the wireless connection icon on the deskbar? I think I need to add a command into a configuration file or something
[02:38] <techsuperfreak> scientes: /etc/postfix/main.cf and check settings for relay_domains my_networks and such
[02:38] <Fret18_brb> Paradoxx: I'll check if it works. In any way, brb.
[02:38] <gvsa123> yipee! i have ubuntu again!
[02:38] <hollywoodb> nwbie__: does it show up when you run `nm-applet --sm-disable` in a terminal?
[02:39] <Rave1_> nwbie__,  yes right click panel it is in the add to panel menu
[02:39] <zLouD_> Hey, i'am tryin to compile xdebug as 32bit under my 64bit machine, but i fail on any try :/
[02:39] <hansel> nwbie__: from a terminal try this........           nm-applet network-manager-gnome &
[02:39] <scientes> techsuperfreak, so to send mail clients have to be in mynetworks? or is that only for passwordless?
[02:40] <hansel> is that the one you want?
[02:40] <Avarice> Hello everyone
[02:40] <techsuperfreak> scientes:  are you trying to authenticate externally?
[02:40] <zLouD_> can someone help me with my problem?
[02:40] <scientes> yes
[02:41] <nwbie__> hansel, thank you very much. That was exactly what I was looking for :)
[02:41] <zsquareplusc> zLouD_: that means you have to cross compile. well, often its enough to specify the rught CFLAGS or CC so that a 32 bit output is generated by gcc. personally i found it easer to just set up a chroot
[02:41] <symptom> yes
[02:41] <scientes> techsuperfreak, i want to turn on pam authentication
[02:41] <Rave1_> hansel he wants the little computer monitor icon for the panel   too easy
[02:41] <gvsa123> ok.. so i installed ubuntu via wubi. do i get to do everything the same?
[02:42] <techsuperfreak> scientes: check http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/smtpauth
[02:42] <ThipThip> After I follow the instructions in this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=380296) cron does not appear to output anything to a log file.  I've never been able to make cron work.
[02:42] <hansel> Rave1_: well I'm glad you are an Ubuntu expert and everything is so simple for you.  I look forward to seeing you help millions...
[02:42] <zsquareplusc> gvsa123: i think so. but the linux files system is loop mounted over ntfs. the disadvantage is when you machine crashes/freezes.
[02:43] <eseven73> ThipThip: have you tried Gnome-schedule? its a GUI cron app for gnome
[02:43] <Rave1_> no expert  just following that problem
[02:43] <ThipThip> eseven73: Yes, I started with gnome-schedule and it didn't work so I tried editing crontab manually.
[02:43] <Avarice> I've got several general linux questions, anyone willing to help me out?
[02:43] <hansel> !ask
[02:44] <princess012508> hi does anyone kno how to install any programs for ubuntu?
[02:44] <Squideshi> Is there a GUI for xrandr included with Ubuntu 8.10?
[02:44] <zsquareplusc> hello ubottu? fell asleep?
[02:44] <hansel> princess012508: System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
[02:44] <princess012508> thank you hansel
[02:44] <nwbie__> thank you all guys for doing a terrific job helping newbies like me! Happy holidays!
[02:45] <jonjoe> i need a hand the topbar which comtrols the apps you know like minimize and max has disappeared does anyone have any ideas on how to get it back?
[02:45] <gvsa123> zsquareplusc: like install applications from synaptic, configure via command line, everything?
[02:45] <zsquareplusc> gvsa123: that's all working as you would exepct
[02:45] <hansel> jonjoe - you mean like             metacity --replace             from a terminal?
[02:46] <Dominiddio> Hello people :)
[02:46] <zLouD_> zsquareplusc: i tried this -> ./configure --enable-xdebug --with-php-config=/opt/lampp/bin/php-config --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu  << is that wrong or should i change someting, pls give me a code or a command, it would be enough if you say what i have to change :/
[02:46] <gvsa123> zsquareplusc: and this is the same as installing ubuntu on a separate partition right? i read that the difference is that the "partition" is disguised under it being a file within the windows directory?
[02:47] <mib_5srjs6eh> ubuntu 8.04 wont boot , i get, system doesn't have /sbin/init any idea?
[02:47] <Squideshi> What exactly is displayconfig-gtk? I can't find it anywhere in Ubuntu 8.10.
[02:48] <zsquareplusc> gvsa123: yes. that "partition" is within a file, stored on your ntfs partition. so it might be slightly slower than a real partition and you should always correctly shut down to not get ntfs errors :/
[02:48] <Dominiddio> May I ask a simple and fast question? I'm actually unable to find the right packet to install to make Youtube and flash videos working on mozilla Firefox. I tried with all those wich got "flash" or "mozilla" in their name but didn't work. Could anybody suggest the right one PLEASEEEE?
[02:48] <\Kira> what is the client for tight vnc called in the respritories?
[02:49] <gvsa123> zsquareplusc: oh yeah... i read that somewhere also. logging the user off works fine. i did hibernate a while ago and it seems to be okay..
[02:49] <zsquareplusc> zLouD_: that looks like an usual configure call for a cross compile. he --build- is not always needed. and do you see that gcc is called for 32 bits? (probably some -m option)?
[02:49] <Paradoxx> Fret18, Any luck?
[02:49] <dr_willis> \Kira,  theres several.    often they 'match' the vncserver package.. theres tightvnc, vnc4server, and a few others.. each often have their own client. (byt they all work with any vncserver)
[02:49] <Zzeiss> Dominiddio: I have it working now.... but not with Flash.  Instead, use Gnash.  :)
[02:49] <kbrosnan> Dominiddio: you need flashplayer-nonfree and only that, any other file will mess up flash
[02:49] <zsquareplusc> gvsa123: just dont hibernate both OS changing while in hibernate
[02:50] <\Kira> dr_willis: thanks
[02:50] <Zzeiss> Dominiddio: First, install Gnash.  Then install the Firefox plugin.
[02:50] <Zzeiss> Dominiddio: that worked for me.  :)
[02:50] <gvsa123> zsquareplusc: ntfs errors are really bad? i mean crashing would be fine (as i have experienced in xp), but would i lose data or somthing?
[02:51] <ThipThip> OK, now I have cron putting errors in to the log.  It appears that it's trying to run in like a background terminal - I don't know the proper terminology.  It's running running as part of X.  For example: 00000398] inhibit interface error: Failed to connect to the D-Bus session daemon: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.
[02:51] <Zzeiss> kbrosnan: That was true (must install Flash-nonfree) up until about two weeks ago.  Then Gnash got the video codec built in... and it worked.  :)
[02:51] <matt__> I am running a virtualbox windows xp. I do so in order to play aoe2, a great little game. I hate having to put the disk in to play it, I don't like using nocd cracks, as I feel they may sometimes be virus infected. I simply wish to do with what I use to do with alchohol 120%, make a backup copy of the disk and then mount it. I could install alcohol 120 in the windows, but don't want to unless I have to. I want to make a backup copy in
[02:51] <zsquareplusc> gvsa123: i don't really know. but that's what i read as a disadvantage of the wubi method
[02:51] <Dominiddio> Zzeiss & krosnan > well I tried Gnash too but looks like it gone in conflict with something I don't know. And "Flashplayer-nonfree" was already in.... Well I'll try again, thanx
[02:52] <Zzeiss> Dominiddio: Hmmm.... that's odd.
[02:52] <zLouD_> zsquareplusc: no, there is no type of -m.
[02:52] <gvsa123> zsquareplusc: i see... i'll go play around with it a while... thanks...
[02:52] <zsquareplusc> zLouD_: and oyu get some sort of error or how did you realize that it doesnt work?
[02:53] <subdolus> What's a command that will go through a directory and delete any duplicate copies of files? Even if they're in different subdirs?
[02:53] <Avarice> so say I use the kill command to kill the network manager....how do I then turn it back on
[02:54] <ianm_> anyone using a Wacom Bamboo Fun in 8.10?
[02:54] <fosco_> Avarice: alt+f2 and run nm-applet

[02:54] <pathfinder662> hello everyone. I am trying to set up a firewall/router with ubuntu server edition. I have everything done except I am having problems port forwarding with ufw. Can anyone help me out?
[02:54] <zLouD_> zsquareplusc: the compile works, but if i start lampp i get -> Failed loading /opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/xdebug.so:  /opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/xdebug.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
[02:54] <zsquareplusc> zLouD_: yeah that looks like it wasn't cross compiled
[02:54] <Zzeiss> Dominiddio: Here's the list of plugins I have if you're interested; I *KNOW* this works for YouTube (how else would I get porn)...
[02:55] <b_> Whats the command to make Ubuntu kiss me before I go to bed?
[02:55] <zsquareplusc> zLouD_: if you don't like cross compiling you can set up a minimal 32 bit system in a folder. see !chroot
[02:55] <ianm_> techsuperfreak: oh?  my friend is having trouble with it.  I have an intuis2 working in 8.04, but his bamboo fun doesn't work for me or for him in 8.10.  you didn't have to do *anything* to make it work out of the box?  can you pastebin your xorg.conf please?
[02:56] <centr0> hi, anyone know how i can make my window list on my taskbar extend the whole bar?
[02:56] <Joeseph> Out of curiosity, about how many applications in the gnome-ubuntu desktop can have a file "dragged and dropped" onto their icon and it will open with that file?
[02:56] <techsuperfreak> ianm_: no access to that box at the moment
[02:56] <scribawf> Any suggestions for linux App to work with a .gho file?

[02:57] <hansel> b_: I recommend you use         xmessage goodnight sweet prince &
[02:57] <wally13371231231> zsquareplusc: thankyou
[02:57] <zsquareplusc> \Kira: how did you start it?
[02:57] <b_> hansel: Thanks :)
[02:57] <ianm_> techsuperfreak: ok.  have you ever put any Wacom stuff in your xorg.conf ?
[02:57] <Zzeiss> Dominiddio: Default plugin, Demo Print Plugin, DivX Web Player 1.4.0.233, QuickTime plug-in 7.2.0, Gnash 0.8.4  (which reports itself as Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999 but is Gnash), Totem Web Browser Plugin 2.24.3, and Totem 2.24.3 (which reports as Windows Media Player but it's totem inside)
[02:57] <centr0> ianm_: it only expands to 50% of the bar.
[02:57] <\Kira> zsquareplusc: using the command "vncserver"
[02:58] <centr0> ianm_: nm i got it.  systray part was expanded.

[03:01] <ThipThip> Can anyone help me launch VLC using cron?  I think I need to use xterm to tell it where to display?
[03:01] <techsuperfreak> ianm_: np
[03:01] <zsquareplusc> hansel: eexcute?
[03:01] <hansel> sure, why not... 600 then.  :)
[03:01] <hansel> full perms to a user wont hurt anything.
[03:02] <eseven73> !ccsm | energY
[03:02] <\slash> awesome
[03:02] <\slash> thanks
[03:02] <hansel> np
[03:02] <zsquareplusc> hansel: nautilus acts differently and if you accidentally do ./file ;-)
[03:02] <hansel> well he can secretly code shell scripts in his .nano_history and have an easier time of executing them?
[03:03] <hansel> zsquareplusc: I reckon if he did that it would just terminate unsuccessfully.
[03:03] <zsquareplusc> wally13371231231: there are installers cd somewhere when you dig down "main". but they arent live cds
[03:03] <wally13371231231> anyone know where i cna get powerpc xubuntu 7.10 isos from
[03:03] <ThipThip> If I use screen, then VLC launches, but is not visible.  I'd like it to be visible.  I'm trying to launch it with cron.  Anybody?  Does nobody know how to make something appear in a viewport using cron?!
[03:03] <wally13371231231> ahh thankyou
[03:04] <wally13371231231> zsquareplusc: i dont see any iso's.. could you find the link please
[03:05] <dr_willis> ThipThip,  using cron to launch X apps.. can be.. problematic..
[03:05] <hansel> ThipThip - you probably need to throw a               -display :0 to the end of it.
[03:05] <hansel> ie;                    vlc someviddy.mpg -display :0
[03:05] <wally13371231231> http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/gutsy/main/installer-powerpc/20070308ubuntu20/images/powerpc/cdrom/
[03:05] <zsquareplusc> hansel: an executable file with no #! is interpreted as bash script. so it might try to execute all the files he has opened. but i agree, we are talking of a silly use case :-)
[03:05] <wally13371231231> thats no use
[03:05] <hansel> oh, and throw a & on the end for good measure so it can detach.
[03:06] <zsquareplusc> wally13371231231: the netboot has an iso. it will download all the packages from the net though
[03:06] <wally13371231231> so there is no full iso?
[03:06] <ThipThip> hansel:  I put it into a bash script as per your suggestion - a & at the end of what?  like -display :0&  ?
[03:06] <dr_willis> zsquareplusc,  speaking of the #! - i noticed a odd quirk the other day where i had some trivial bash scripts ( of 1 line,  like just an alias) that did NOT run properly SOMETIMES if i did not have a #!/bin/bash  (or sh) at the start
[03:07] <hansel> vlc /home/thip/MomAndMe.mpg -display :0 &
[03:07] <zsquareplusc> wally13371231231: i don't know i don't have a ppc :/
[03:08] <hikenboot> anyone in here a sound wizard?
[03:08] <racarter> i'm dumb, how do you start a network game in gnu chess?
[03:08] <n8tuser> ThipThip - what exactly are you trying to achieve?
[03:08] <savid> Ugh! I'm having this really annoying problem where I can't watch any flash videos --  The video stops about two seconds into it.  If I move the slider to another position in the video, it plays for another two seconds and stops again.  Has anyone else experienced this?
[03:08] <pathfinder662_> hello everyone. I am trying to set up a firewall/router with ubuntu server edition. I have everything done except I am having problems port forwarding with ufw. Can anyone help me out?
[03:08] <hansel> savid - it's probably just buffering...
[03:09] <savid> hansel, no, it's not buffering.  This happens even when the video has completely buffered.
[03:09] <hansel> pathfinder662_ you'll probably have better luck w something that complex in #iptables or something.
[03:09] <bp0> how do I change the volume of gnome system sounds without using master volume?
[03:10] <hansel> bp0 - sudo alsamixer from a terminal?
[03:10] <eseven73> hansel: or #Ubuntu-Server
[03:10] <hansel> savid - never heard of that occuring... dunno, sorry. :(
[03:10] <macjason0607> guys .. i forgot the link on how to install windows drivers wireless on ubuntu

[03:11] <macjason0607> i have broadcom
[03:11] <DiiPhantom> someone knows how to setup proftpd?
[03:11] <racarter> anyone use gnu chess?
[03:11] <sandeep> I use gnuchess
[03:11] <DiiPhantom> i have questions about creating users and groups
[03:11] <racarter> do you play network games?
[03:11] <lamo> I'm experiencing freezing issues with 8.10 that I believe are related to deluge. Has any progress been made in solving this issue? I went back to 8.04 and my system ran great but i decided to update in hopes it was solved.
[03:11] <savid> Ugh and my now my browser freezes up when on a flash video page.  WTF?
[03:11] <racarter> if so, can you tell me how?
[03:12] <eseven73> !wtf | savid wtf is a swear word, even if masked...
[03:12] <\Kira> um.... I set up my vnc server, then connected. There was terminal open, and I closed it. Now I have a blank screen, even when I reconnect. What can I do?
[03:12] <hansel> DiiPhantom - edit your proftpd.conf file in /etc then restart the service...
[03:12] <DiiPhantom> hansel, Thank you for answering, but here is my problem, i installed it i confiured it but then i want to add users
[03:12] <nino8085> I'm also experiencing freezing at 8.10
[03:13] <dr_willis> \Kira,  restart the vncserver with 'vncserver --kill :1' (or whatrever #) and perhaps edit the .vnc/xstartup to spawn a window manger/desktop you want to use.
[03:13] <CoJaBo-Eee> Is it possible to restrict a Samba share to only certain IPs?
[03:13] <zsquareplusc> \Kira: ssh to the server DISPLAY=:10 xterm&
[03:13] <hansel> DiiPhantom - I believe it goes off of /etc/passwd file... do you want to add virtual users that don't really exist at the system level?
[03:13] <Avarice> Does anyone know anything about simple program writing....The only programing I've done is using basic and I've got an idea to where I write one that ask's me some variables then open like three terminal windows and executes just a few commands
[03:13] <lamo> nino8085: are you running any bittorrent clients?
[03:13] <dr_willis> cojaBo Yes   I think it is.. I would check the books in the 'samba-doc' package to see if they mention that.
[03:13] <hansel> Avarice - what is your goal?  You want to write executables or shell scripts or what to do WHAT?
[03:13] <DiiPhantom> hansel,  i think thats where im heading
[03:13] <nino8085> lamo: nope..i don't
[03:13] <dr_willis> cojaBo also check the smb.conf config files.
[03:13] <riegersn> are there any irc apps that can run python scripts for a bot? but with no gui
[03:13] <savid> nino8085, what kind of freezing?  are you talking about flash? or something else
[03:13] <DiiPhantom> hansel, do you mind a private msg?
[03:14] <Pici> !info supybot | riegersn
[03:14] <eseven73> riegersn: supybot
[03:14] <eseven73> ugh Pici :p
[03:14] <eseven73> beat me to it
[03:14] <hansel> DiiPhantom: sure...
[03:14] <dr_willis> riegersn,  i would not be suprised if tehrs not a irc bot written totally in python
[03:14] <eseven73> riegersn: ubottu is a supybot
[03:14] <nino8085> the system freezing, by not be able to click on something,
[03:14] <\Kira> dr_willis: would I edit that file on the server or client?
[03:14] <dr_willis> And there it is. :)
[03:14] <hikenboot> i have an abit nf7-s2g motherboard with a  nvidia MCP2S AC 97 audiocontroler rev a1 anyone know which module should be loaded
[03:14] <dr_willis> \Kira,  smb.conf controlls the server..
[03:14] <bp0> hansel, ... that seems stupid. but it worked, thanks.
[03:15] <CoJaBo-Eee> dr_willis: I see stuff about IPs globally, but not per-share
[03:15] <Avarice> hansel ummmm idk really.....there are just some packages that i use in the terminal that i have to type the same information over again and again and it takes a while to type it all out so to save time i was just gonna have it open some terminal windows and type the stuff
[03:15] <\Kira> dr_willis: ? Im talking about vnc
[03:15] <dr_willis> \Kira,   the vnc server runs the vnc desktop  thus the users .vnc/whatever stuff.. there is no file to edit on the client side.
[03:16] <liza0> hi all
[03:16] <lamo> yeah my system completely locks up have to do a hard restart to get it back, happens at least nonce a day.
[03:16] <eseven73> !welcome | liza0
[03:16] <dr_willis> \Kira,  some vncservers may use differently named configs.. I tend to use vnc4server, it has a  home/username/.vnc/xstartup file that has what commands get ran by the vncserver when it starts up.
[03:16] <hansel> Avarice - shell scripting is what you want to learn probably..  http://wooledge.org:8000/BashSheet
[03:17] <Mike9022> For some reason, Skype isn't working for me. When someone tries to invite me to a confrence call, I click accept, but nothing happens. Sometimes the user inviting gets an error that says "The person you are calling has problems with the soundcard which Skype will help to fix". Can someone please help me fix this? I'm using Intrepid.
[03:17] <ThipThip> For all those following my cron saga, the winner (inside the script) was: DISPLAY=:0 vlc /home/justin/Desktop/c-span.xspf --volume 1024
[03:17] <dr_willis> \Kira,  by default its a bit stupid and trys to run twm and a xterm I think...  most people dont want twm. and its not instlled by default anyway.
[03:17] <\Kira> dr_willis: okay, what would be the command to start kde?
[03:17] <hansel> Avarice also see this URL: http://wooledge.org:8000/BashGuide
[03:17] <ThipThip> Thanks particularly to Hansel, who stuck with me :-)
[03:17] <nino8085> the thing is I haven't install anything to it yet..,but it freezes almost trice a day
[03:17] <hansel> np ThipThip... good going.  :)
[03:17] <Avarice> hansel kk looking
[03:17] <tleuser> Boat
[03:17] <dr_willis> \Kira,  at one time it was 'startkde' :) or some variant like that.. kde may be a bit heavy and slow over vnc
[03:18] <lamo> nino8085: also heard pulseaudio was maybe causing this
[03:18] <\Kira> dr_willis: what would you recommend?
[03:18] <savid> What's the difference between adobe-flash-plugin and flashplugin-nonfree?
[03:18] <dr_willis> \Kira,  i tend to use SUPER light window managers for vnc. such as jwm, or icewm or one of the XXX box's
[03:18] <\Kira> dr_willis: thanks
[03:19] <nino8085> hmmm....but only in 8.10?
[03:20] <lamo> nino8085: yeah cause i rolled back to 8.04 for a month and no problems
[03:20] <lamo> nino8085: and i upgraded yesterday and the freezing started again
[03:20] <racarter> ubuntu 8.10 Chess.. it says disconnected when trying to start a network game.. how do i play a network game with this app?
[03:20] <rccu> u
[03:21] <nino8085> i see..
[03:21] <racarter> ctrl+L starts a network game, the profile option says "Disconnected"
[03:21] <racarter> it's a dropdown with one choice...
[03:21] <racarter> that choice is disconnected...

[03:25] <Jack_Sparrow> noriyuki, shut down the other package manager
[03:25] <eseven73> noriyuki: that last bit tells you everything

[03:44] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> nano pwnz *
[03:44] <Rapture2k4> jtaji: kk, lemme write this stuff down
[03:44] <qwexer> aeolien: I like screem and bluefish myself
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Rapture2k4, last time I used it.. I had to type persistent on the command line.  I have not done it in awhile
[03:45] <aeolien> Sweet, thanks guys!
[03:45] <neeto> Overshee: what's up with torrentflux?
[03:45] <Overshee> it wont work >.<
[03:45] <neeto>  /pm me
[03:45] <Rapture2k4> Jack_Sparrow: Well, I think my issue is that I'm using a BootCD to allow me to boot from the flash drive... not sure what's going wrong
[03:45] <hansel> CoUrPsE|DeAd: nano is an extremely basic text editor... vi can run circles around it all day.  :)
[03:45] <zsquareplusc> can in turn off the progress bar animation in the human there on intrepid?
[03:45] <gorlak> anyone had any experience with truecrypt and nfs togeather?
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Rapture2k4, bootcd or livecd.. huge difference
[03:46] <Rapture2k4> Jack_Sparrow: I used a LiveCD to create a USB Startup disk (persistent) and then used a BootCD iso from PenDriveLinux to give me USB bootload capability
[03:47] <Rapture2k4> I have an old Dell that doesn't boot from USB :(
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Rapture2k4, not surpriseed that didnt work
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> I have several dells  6100's 640's etc
[03:48] <Fezzler> I have a 17.3MB PDF file that I archived with ZIP and it only shrunk it to 17.2MB.  How can I get this smaller in Ubuntu?
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> 610
[03:48] <Rapture2k4> Jack_Sparrow: It does once... as in I can boot into it... if I reboot at all... it fails to load the kernel and I sit at an <(init)> prompt
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Rapture2k4, Cant help with that..
[03:48] <Rapture2k4> I know... but I think I've got a solution ;)
[03:48] <hf2|ap> hi
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Fezzler, pdf's are already compressed
[03:49] <zsquareplusc> Fezzler: compressed pdf already uses the same algorithm as zip that's why it isnt getting smaller. try to reduce embedded image quality (pdf2ps|ps2pfs / ghostscript)
[03:49] <zsquareplusc> Fezzler: pdfedit might also do something
[03:50] <Rapture2k4> I'm thinking that if I partition my flashdrive as ext3 -noatime, and put grub on the MBR of it, I can install grub on a CD and boot that way
[03:50] <Rapture2k4> the BIOS sees the drive as a HDD, but won't boot from it.. so I don't need USB drivers per say
[03:50] <Rapture2k4> per se*
[03:51] <ThePub> as guessed, that didn't go so well ;)
[03:52] <raylu> Fezzler: also, try bzip2
[03:52] <insos_funky> :.....
[03:52] <raylu> Rapture2k4: noatime is a mount option, not an fs option
[03:52] <insos_funky> #cendrawasih
[03:53] <macjason0607> guys .. there a way to change my login name ?
[03:53] <Fezzler> Thanks, I'll try PDFEdit or move to my work laptop that has full Adobe Acrobat.  Just like to do it all in Ubuntu
[03:53]  * Rapture2k4 is a newbie, obviously.. please excuse the improper usages...
[03:53] <macjason0607> so my my terminal name will change with it
[03:53] <Fezzler> What is bzip2
[03:53] <raylu> macjason0607: you can change the name that appears in the terminal without changing your name
[03:53] <mindrape> Fezzler: a compression type
[03:53] <rccu> Fezzler: a compression program
[03:54] <user-05> chaqy
[03:54] <linux733t> raylu: How do you do that?
[03:54] <mindrape> Fezzler: to decompress a bz2 file just    tar -zxjf thefile.bz2 I believe.
[03:54] <raylu> linux733t: the terminal prompt is $PS1
[03:54] <guren> hey guys
[03:54] <raylu> linux733t: (usually)
[03:54] <guren> i am using irssi
[03:54]  * raylu claps for guren 
[03:54] <guren> how do i change my nickname?
[03:54]  * mindrape facepalms for guren
[03:54] <raylu> guren: the same way you do for every other client
[03:54] <guren> its not really important but i wanted to ask for wifi help
[03:55] <shipz> With ubuntu, do I need to manually set a root password, or will just having a useraccount with a password suffice?
[03:55] <raylu> !root | shipz
[03:55] <DamnSL> hi
[03:55] <guren> meh
[03:55] <guren> i donno
[03:55] <raylu> guren: /nick
[03:55] <guren> ok but i was trying to get some help with my wifi
[03:55] <Fezzler> So much for PDFEdit, it can't even open the file
[03:55] <smokeymirror> oh thanks :D
[03:56] <DamnSL> Damn Small Linux is better than Ubuntu !
[03:56] <shipz> I'm an idiot
[03:56] <raylu> !better
[03:56] <shipz> You may dismember me now.
[03:56] <mindrape> shipz - Ubuntu is a quirky distro/community that doesn't believe (as part of our philosophy) in regular use of the root account.  It saves us from LOTS of headaches....  :)
[03:56] <Wicked> how do i manually set the refresh rate for my monitor?
[03:56] <raylu> shipz: not at all
[03:56] <mindrape> Wicked: edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:56] <raylu> mindrape: he'd most likely have to generate one first
[03:56] <zsquareplusc> Fezzler: recompressing the pdf with ghostscript might help
[03:56] <Wicked> mindrape, care to elaborate?
[03:57] <DiiPhantom> how can i regenerate the proftp.conf? i uninstalled it and deleted the /etc/proftpd/ folder
[03:57] <smokeymirror> ok so anyone here have a hp dv5 1000 series laptop?
[03:57] <raylu> DiiPhantom: why would you want to?
[03:57] <DiiPhantom> i want to reinstall it raylu
[03:57] <DiiPhantom> and i need the original conf
[03:57] <mindrape> !refresh
[03:57] <mindrape> ugg.
[03:57] <raylu> DiiPhantom: when you install it, it will install the conf
[03:57] <smokeymirror> my wireless card is recognized and all but i just can't seem to get it to connect to any networks
[03:57] <Fezzler> Got it, had to edit spaces out of file name for PDFEdit to open
[03:57] <DiiPhantom> thats what i though but its not
[03:58] <yixil> so a stupid ISP tech came here while only my mom was around, installed a new router, and didn't tell us the ip address or the pw
[03:58] <DiiPhantom> raylu,  thats what i though but its not
[03:58] <Rapture2k4> is there an easy way to install xbuntu on my flash drive while in Ubuntu?
[03:58] <mindrape> Wicked - basically in the monitor settings you set the refresh parms.
[03:58] <yixil> anybody know if there's a way I can find out what the ip address is?
[03:58] <Fezzler> Now to see options for shrinking.  I know Acrobat can
[03:58] <Rapture2k4> or do i need to burn a LiveCD?
[03:58] <Wicked> mindrape, hmm ok.
[03:58] <netyire> yixil: check the connection info
[03:58] <Decepticon> whats a noob friendly command line text editor
[03:58] <Decepticon> not vi
[03:58] <yixil> netyire: where?
[03:58] <mindrape> nano
[03:58] <sheep> Decepticon: nano
[03:58] <Rapture2k4> nano
[03:58] <Decepticon> vi is not noob friendly
[03:58] <yixil> sorry I'm a noob at this
[03:58] <Jack_Sparrow> !editors
[03:58] <mindrape> yixil - pull open a browser and go to http://192.168.1.1
[03:58] <raylu> DiiPhantom: try sudo aptitude reinstall; i have to go
[03:58] <netyire> right click the image of two computers in the system tray and click connection info
[03:59] <mindrape> yixil - if you want your internet IP go to http://www.findmyip.com
[03:59] <netyire> look under default route
[03:59] <yixil> netyire: they changed the default ip of the router
[03:59] <Jack_Sparrow> yixil, Are you hardwired to it?
[03:59] <netyire> yixil: traceroute google.com
[03:59] <yixil> Jack_Sparrow: yeah
[03:59] <netyire> look at the first few hops
[03:59] <linux733t> Decepticon: Nano
[03:59] <Phai> Tes
[03:59] <Fezzler> what is Delinererize?
[04:00] <smokeymirror> anyone have any advice?
[04:00] <yixil> my brother-in-law figured this out somehow, it was 192.168.1.254
[04:00] <mindrape> smokeymirror - brush your teeth.
[04:00] <smokeymirror> i know i know but that wont get my wireless enabled
[04:00] <yixil> so if att comes to your house and installs a random router, that might be where it is
[04:00] <Rapture2k4> smokeymirror: try typing sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
[04:01] <Rapture2k4> smokeymirror: see if the interface is up
[04:01] <Cpudan80> anybody have a dell inspiron mini?
[04:01] <Rapture2k4> or even listed
[04:01] <linux733t> Cpudan80: I want one! :P
[04:02] <Rapture2k4> smokeymirror: you should see something like: iface <interface_name> inet dhcp
[04:02] <smokeymirror> it says auto lo and iface lo inet loopback
[04:02] <Jack_Sparrow> yixil, THis is all offtopic...
[04:02] <mindrape> smokeymirror      sudo lshw -C network
[04:02] <Rapture2k4> mindrape: out of my head
[04:03] <mindrape> smokeymirror - what kind of card is it?  Maybe you need Windows drivers instead of Linux?
[04:03] <linux733t> NDISWRAPPER
[04:03] <linux733t> ?
[04:03] <netyire> yixil: #ubuntu-offtopic

[04:03] <dlx__> got a simple question, how can i give x-chat a specfic port with the addresse of the server? I tried it like this: 127.0.0.1:86 but i think its not working.
[04:03] <Rapture2k4> smokeymirror: if you see *-network DISABLED followed by the name of your adapter, we might be able to work with it
[04:04] <Farajamo> Alright, anyone think they can help me with a dual-boot problem that I'm having with Ubuntu/XP?
[04:04] <sheep> dlx__: use a / instead of a :
[04:04] <dlx__> thx
[04:04] <smokeymirror> did you see the pastebin?
[04:04] <Rapture2k4> smokeymirror: yes
[04:04] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: only if you ask the real question :-)
[04:04] <smokeymirror> any ideas?
[04:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Farajamo, did you install xp first and single drive or dual drive system.. THe better the question, the better the answer
[04:05] <mindrape> smokeymirror: try to          sudo modprobe iwl4965
[04:05] <smokeymirror> ok one second
[04:05] <MrAnthrope> If I typed 'chmod init.d -r -w -x' would Ubuntu hide all the files in that folder for some reason?
[04:06] <smokeymirror> ok i did
[04:06] <mindrape> now sudo ifconfig
[04:06] <Cpudan80> MrAnthrope: no
[04:06] <mindrape> then sudo iwconfig
[04:06] <MrAnthrope> I was trying to read write and execute a file in that folder and I typed that and now the folder is completely empty.
[04:06] <Cpudan80> MrAnthrope: you'd need to be root to change stuff in init.d
[04:06] <MrAnthrope> I was root.
[04:06] <smokeymirror> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5d1ad6f8
[04:06] <Wicked> hmm ok...if my monitor says it should use 60mhz for the refresh rate...should i add 60 for both the veritcal and horizontal refresh lines in xorg.conf?
[04:07] <MrAnthrope> But only in the terminal. not in the window.
[04:07] <MrAnthrope> How do you become root in a window?
[04:07] <Jack_Sparrow> MrAnthrope, sudo
[04:07] <MrAnthrope> That's through the terminal...
[04:07] <Cpudan80> Aragon: gksudo nautilus
[04:07] <mindrape> smokeymirror: okay... results of sudo iwconfig?
[04:07] <Cpudan80> Danger Danger Danger!
[04:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[04:07] <Cpudan80> Not a good idea to run nautilus as root!
[04:07] <smokeymirror> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5d1ad6f8
[04:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Cpudan80, agreed
[04:07] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: aye
[04:07] <mindrape> smokeymirror: iwconfig not ifconfig
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> smokeymirror, Please post a description of the problem not just the link.
[04:08] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: dont want to go clicking and dragging all willy nilly
[04:08] <smokeymirror> oops
[04:08] <Wicked> welp gonna try it anyways.....brb
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Cpudan80, Thanks for giving the warning with that command.
[04:08] <Cpudan80> :-)
[04:08] <Cpudan80> I do what i can
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> appreciated
[04:08] <mindrape> smokeymirror - next do a                sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[04:08] <Rapture2k4> mindrape: what's that one do?
[04:08] <CiArA> gut mornin
[04:08] <CiArA> evertone
[04:09] <mindrape> it scans for open APs
[04:09] <smokeymirror> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6d439d7c i cannot get online with my wifi even though the card is registered
[04:09] <Rapture2k4> cool
[04:09] <CiArA> #
[04:09] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: you know much about enterprise level WPA wifi in ubuntu?
[04:09] <MrAnthrope> I can't get online with my dialup modem. :(
[04:09] <mindrape> okay smokeymirror - you dont have an ESSID set... do you know the AP name?
[04:09] <smokeymirror> smokeymirror@SmokeyMiRROR:~$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[04:09] <smokeymirror> wlan0     No scan results
[04:09] <mindrape> smokeymirror: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid SETITHERE
[04:09] <bullgard4> What is the function of the file /boot/config-2.6.24-22-generic?
[04:09] <Jack_Sparrow> smokeymirror, is it an open network or wep , wpa etc
[04:09] <CiArA> k
[04:09] <CiArA> k
[04:09] <CiArA> kk
[04:09] <CiArA> k
[04:09] <CiArA> kk
[04:09] <FloodBot2> CiArA: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:09] <smokeymirror> there's a open and a secure around me
[04:10] <mindrape> smokeymirror -alright.. if you get no scan results and you know the AP is broadcasting and available then you likely need a Windows driver for it... :(
[04:10] <Rapture2k4> smokeymirror: replace SETITHERE with the SSID your wifi router is using
[04:10] <Wicked> nope that did not fix it :(
[04:10] <Rapture2k4> he shouldn't have to.. i have the same adapter on my laptop
[04:10] <Rapture2k4> and it works fine
[04:11] <smokeymirror> was that code sudo iwlist wlan0 scan?
[04:11] <mindrape> Rapture2k4 - which driver do you use?
[04:11] <mindrape> yes smokeymirror.
[04:11] <tonyyarusso> In firefox 3, even after I've cleared the history things will still show up in the autocomplete of the location bar.  Where is that information stored, and can it be cleared as well?
[04:11] <netyire> tools -> clear private data?
[04:12] <mindrape> tonyyarusso: that autocomplete SHOULD only show bookmarked URLs...
[04:12] <smokeymirror> ok
[04:12] <Rapture2k4> mindrape: it's been ages since i've IRC'ed... and i'm using irssi, what's the /command to reply? lol
[04:12] <mindrape> reply?   /msg user hey there
[04:12] <mindrape> or what?
[04:12] <tonyyarusso> mindrape: ooooh, that may very well be the case.
[04:12] <Rapture2k4> aha
[04:12] <smokeymirror> so if its more than one word i do "Wifi Name"
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !coc
[04:13] <mindrape> yes smokeymirror
[04:13] <tonyyarusso> mindrape: Your'e absolutely right.  I had forgotten some of those things were bookmarked.
[04:13] <smokeymirror> this is what always happens when i try to set essid
[04:13] <smokeymirror> smokeymirror@SmokeyMiRROR:~$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "CCSF WiFi"
[04:13] <smokeymirror> Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Resource temporarily unavailable.
[04:13] <Rapture2k4> smokeymirror: is your wifi router broadcasting? or simpler yet.. can you see if from another machine/os?
[04:13] <netyire> tonyyarusso: you can disable autocomplete from about:config
[04:13] <smokeymirror> yea
[04:13] <netyire> it's under browser.urlbar.maxRichResults
[04:14] <netyire> set to 0
[04:14] <smokeymirror> i can see it from other devices
[04:14] <Rapture2k4> ok
[04:14] <smokeymirror> even my psp :(
[04:14] <Rapture2k4> strange.. i think mindrape might by right
[04:14] <mindrape> Rapture2k4 - if yours is the exact same model maybe we can modprobe your module name?
[04:14] <Rapture2k4> check out ndiswrapper (google/wiki)
[04:14] <mindrape> can you check it in lsmod?
[04:14] <mindrape> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5693578   <--- makes ndiswrapper "easy"
[04:14] <CarlFK> http://events.ccc.de/congress/2008/Fahrplan/day_2008-12-30.en.html
[04:14] <CarlFK> whoops.
[04:15] <smokeymirror> huh?
[04:15] <smokeymirror> ndiswrapper doesn't work
[04:15] <tonyyarusso> netyire: also good to know - thanks
[04:16] <smokeymirror> the drivers for this wireless card is a 64bit
[04:16] <Jack_Sparrow> smokeymirror, what chipset is in that card?
[04:16] <smokeymirror> and ndiswrapper doesn't do 64bit
[04:16] <shipz> This may sound dumb but, how do you tell if you are running 64bit or 32bit?
[04:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !chroot
[04:16] <mindrape> shipz - I believe uname -a will tell
[04:16] <Rapture2k4> smokeymirror: what was the model number again? 4965?
[04:16] <smokeymirror> one sec
[04:16] <Davi_> you is girl ??
[04:16] <Wicked> bah. ok. nothing i do is changing my monitor refresh rate.
[04:16] <mindrape> Davi_ there are no girls on the internets.
[04:17] <netyire> Wicked: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:17] <netyire> look for horizontal and vertical refresh rates
[04:17] <Wicked> netyire, yea...your the second one to say that. and that didnt fix it either.
[04:17] <netyire> it'll be a range, like 60.0 - 120.0
[04:17] <smokeymirror> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m59e01c6d wifi card
[04:17] <mindrape> Wicked - CRT or LCD?
[04:17] <Wicked> netyire, yea i changed the ranges both to 60
[04:17] <Wicked> no dice
[04:17] <Wicked> ldc
[04:17] <netyire> still at 50?
[04:17] <mindrape> Wicked - you dont set LCD refresh rates...
[04:17] <Rapture2k4> hrm
[04:17] <mindrape> its 60 by default.
[04:18] <mindrape> CRTs you can bump them up to like 85 hz and whatnot.
[04:18] <Wicked> mindrape, well ubuntu set it to 50 and its making everything blurry and look like shit
[04:18] <mindrape> hrrmmm.
[04:18] <mindrape> I'd google the model number and see what the recommended v/hsync rates are for xorg.conf
[04:18] <mindrape> odd that it would be 50... never heard of it that low.
[04:18] <netyire> Wicked: hmm, have you restarted xorg?
[04:18] <shipz> That worked...thanks
[04:19] <netyire> ctl+alt+backspace
[04:19] <Wicked> i know they are. and i set them to it...still nothing
[04:19] <Wicked> netyire, yes.
[04:19] <Rapture2k4> smokeymirror: silly question, but is the wifi card on?
[04:19] <bullgard4> What is the function of the file /boot/config-2.6.24-22-generic?
[04:19] <netyire> hmm, possibly the driver?
[04:19] <smokeymirror> well i dont know
[04:19] <mindrape> Wicked - what is your resolution set to?  Is the whole screen blurry or just text?
[04:19] <Jack_Sparrow> smokeymirror, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1011104
[04:19] <smokeymirror> it only has a touch button
[04:19] <Rapture2k4> you using a laptop, right?
[04:19] <Wicked> mindrape, just test. and the colors are off
[04:19] <Farajamo> Anyone think they can help me with a boot problem?
[04:19] <smokeymirror> the touch button doesn't work and i have no way to find out how to turn it on
[04:20] <Wicked> *text
[04:20] <mindrape> Wicked - do you use an nVidia or ATI card?
[04:20] <Rapture2k4> smokeymirror: um... maybe a <FN> + Function key combo? like FN+F8
[04:20] <bullgard4> Farajamo: Please put a specific question here. Your question as put is not smart.
[04:20] <Wicked> mindrape, brand spanking new msi nvidia 260...litterly put it in a hour ago
[04:20] <smokeymirror> fn + f8 is brightnestt
[04:21] <smokeymirror> i tried all the fn + fkeys
[04:21] <mindrape> Wicked - do you have a System -> Administration -> nVidia X Server Settings option?
[04:21] <MrAnthrope> Can anyone think of a reason why Ubuntu would load my sound card drivers sometimes and not others?
[04:21] <grayhane> cannot mount usb drive after upgrading to 8.10
[04:21] <MrAnthrope> Sometimes when I start up I have sound. Sometimes I don't.
[04:21] <Farajamo> When I boot into Ubuntu (or at least try to) it boots straight into a blank white screen. Anyone know why?
[04:21] <Wicked> mindrape, i do not
[04:21] <netyire> MrAnthrope: hmm, it's probably not the drivers
[04:21] <Rapture2k4> smokeymirror: i take it you don't get an on-screen display for those options, right?
[04:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Farajamo, did you install xp first and single drive or dual drive system.. THe better the question, the better the answer
[04:22] <netyire> MrAnthrope: sound under ubuntu breaks down occasionally, when different programs try to access the soundcard directly
[04:22] <smokeymirror> nope
[04:22] <Wicked> mindrape, but i do have the nvidia-settings command via cli
[04:22] <MrAnthrope> Oh I see. So that's why it's seemingly random.
[04:22] <netyire> MrAnthrope: are you on 8.04?
[04:22] <MrAnthrope> 8.10
[04:22] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: did you see my question for you?
[04:23] <Farajamo> No, I installed Ubuntu first but use the XP boot menu because of problems I had with grub. And when you say dual drive system I'm assuming harddrives? It's one drive partitioned.
[04:23] <drone_> here's something kinda curious: I just installed the 64 bit flash plugin on ubuntu 8.10 but it wont work unless I run firefox as root
[04:23] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: Enterprise level wifi on ubuntu .... gives troubles about certs ... ?
[04:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Farajamo, sudo nvidia-xconfig from a terminal..
[04:23] <netyire> MrAnthrope: hmm, you can walk through the pulseaudio howto to make sure it's setup properly, or if that fails, use alsa with dmix
[04:23] <Rapture2k4> smokeymirror: mkay... well... best bet is to install ndiswrapper and download the drivers from intel
[04:23] <netyire> MrAnthrope: hold on, I'll link you
[04:23] <Farajamo> That's the thing, I cant' even get to a terminal
[04:23] <smokeymirror> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m44aad389 nm-tool results
[04:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Cpudan80, not something I deal with...
[04:23] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: try CTRL+ALT+F1
[04:23] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: hrmm oh well
[04:23] <Farajamo> I did. No key commands work. I just get a blaring white screen.
[04:24] <Farajamo> If it helps, this happened only after I upgraded my computer.
[04:24] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: have you seen anybody else coming in with issues related to enterprise level wifi (with WPA) ?
[04:24] <netyire> MrAnthrope: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[04:24] <MrAnthrope> Thanks, netyire.
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Farajamo, YOu cant use the xp boot instead of grub
[04:24] <Rapture2k4> smokeymirror: you can get it by doing: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper
[04:24] <Wicked> bah. so mindrape i opened that up and wento the display configuration and set the resolution to 1920x1200 and the refresh to 60..hit apply and it still is blurry.
[04:24] <smokeymirror> ok
[04:24] <Farajamo> Well originally (before the upgrade) the xp boot menu was working fine.
[04:24] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: when you said grub gave you problems ... what do you mean?
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Cpudan80, many have had issue with wpa as some chipsets dont have good support.
[04:24] <Wicked> i also tried setting the refresh to auto and hit apply....still is blurry :(
[04:24] <mindrape> Wicked - is there something on the monitor you can push to make it degauze?  Not sure if LCDs do that but used to be a common CRT issue...
[04:25] <Wicked> i do think so.
[04:25] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: yeah -- it all worked under HH, not sure what's up under Intrepid
[04:25] <Rapture2k4> Wicked: have you tried adjusting the temperature of the monitor to a higher/lower setting? (thru the buttons on the monitor)
[04:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Cpudan80, I have several boxes on HH waiting for something I must have before upgrading
[04:25] <mindrape> Wicked - can you also check the connection points of the cable to make sure its all tightly fitted?
[04:25] <SaturnDriver> does anyone know if unicode characters show up in windows
[04:25] <dr_willis> You dont Degause LCD's :)
[04:26] <Farajamo> Well when I set up grub, Ubuntu booted fine, but when I tried to boot into XP I get an error akin to: ntfo.exe or something was missing and couldn't boot
[04:26] <Rapture2k4> Wicked: you'd be looking for color temperature
[04:26] <dr_willis> Farajamo,  ntldr was missing perhaps?
[04:26] <Wicked> Rapture2k4, yea. it has economy,text, and picture modes...it looks equally blurry.....only brighter or darker
[04:26] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: yeah
[04:26] <smokeymirror> :((
[04:26] <MrAnthrope> My more pressing problem is Ubuntu can't find my PCI dialup modem. I've been trying to get Ubuntu to find it for two days.
[04:26] <Wicked> mindrape, yea. everything looks nice and secure
[04:26] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: not good...
[04:27] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: did you defrag the partition before you partitioned it to install ubuntu?
[04:27] <Farajamo> Well I tried replacing the file but it didn't make a difference so I used the XP boot menu.
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> MrAnthrope, Sounds like a winmodem
[04:27] <MrAnthrope> It is.
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> !dialup
[04:27] <dr_willis> MrAnthrope,  some winmodems have no support.. some do...
[04:27] <MrAnthrope> Stratitec IC56A agere
[04:27] <Rapture2k4> Wicked: I had this problem with a 9800 GTX... trying to remember how i fixed it..
[04:27] <MrAnthrope> Already done, ubottu.
[04:27] <MrAnthrope> ;)
[04:27] <Cpudan80> ubottu: is a robot
[04:27] <Farajamo> I installed Ubuntu first. So I had it installed, then split the harddrive in two, then installed XP on the empty partition
[04:27] <Cpudan80> oh
[04:27] <Cpudan80> hrm....
[04:27] <Cpudan80> But then what did you do
[04:27] <Cpudan80> You have to put grub back on
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Cpudan80, agreed
[04:28] <Farajamo> Oh, and the missing file was "NTOSKRNL.exe"
[04:28] <Wicked> Rapture2k4, ah ok. i upgraded today from my old bfgtech 7800 gt oc to this new geforce 260.....and its been a pain........
[04:28] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: this was immediately after installing XP?
[04:28] <fxhp> I just installed 8.10 and now my video is all messed up
[04:28] <MrAnthrope> It's an agere modem, which supposedly works. I just can't do it because I'm a total and complete Linux newb.
[04:28] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: As I understand it - you did
[04:28] <fxhp> I'm unable to run with nvidia drivers .
[04:28] <MrAnthrope> I have some drivers but I have no idea how to go about installing them.
[04:28] <Cpudan80> Partition --> Ubuntu --> XP --> ERROR
[04:28] <Cpudan80> Is that not right?
[04:29] <Farajamo> No. This happened immediately after upgrading my comp with new parts (thanks to Christmas). I dual-booted with the XP boot menu fine up until then.
[04:29] <syed_nawaz> when installing ubuntu, if there are partitions already in that system, then ubuntu displays the existing partition information, how does the installer get this information
[04:29] <Cpudan80> wait now
[04:29] <Cpudan80> That changes the ball game
[04:29] <Dante123> upgrade 8.04 to 8.10...all works fine except network manager says there is no connection....although there is and I am using it now.  What gives?
[04:29] <mindrape> syed_nawaz: probably read via sudo fdisk -l
[04:29] <Cpudan80> What new parts did you put in farj
[04:29] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: ^
[04:29] <Rapture2k4> Dante123: sounds like some nice wifi :D
[04:30] <wangjinqu> hello
[04:30] <Farajamo> Mobo, Video card, processor, and additional ram
[04:30] <syed_nawaz> mindrape, i am looking for the labels which would also be displayed about the partition.
[04:30] <Farajamo> And an extra harddrive
[04:30] <mindrape> syed_nawaz: sudo lshw -C storage
[04:30] <Cpudan80> Wait what?
[04:30] <Cpudan80> You replaced all that and expected XP to go along peachy fine?
[04:30] <Rapture2k4> Farajamo: .... wow man... this is gonna be fun... gotta figure out which drive has the bootloader installed on it
[04:30] <mindrape> mebbe?
[04:30] <MrAnthrope> lol
[04:30] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: XP will not boot after all those changes
[04:31] <Farajamo> cpudan80: surprisingly, XP gave me no error, I'm only having problems with Ubuntu
[04:31] <MrAnthrope> XP hates when you change hardware. I've corrupted XP like that before.
[04:31] <mindrape> syed_nawaz: dunno... could be a number of different places.  I'm pretty sure fdisk would be the spot to get all the details though via some command switches.
[04:31] <Farajamo> cpudan80: I'm in XP right now
[04:31] <Cpudan80> o_O
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Farajamo, Why did it take you this long to answer my question about single or dual drive etc
[04:31] <linuxman410> anyone here using a dlink kvm switch
[04:31] <Rapture2k4> i think drugs
[04:31] <Cpudan80> Now Im really confused
[04:31] <wangjinqu> haha   i have only one OS the ubuntu
[04:31] <Farajamo> Jack_Sparrow: Sorry, I'm not sure what you meant by it
[04:31] <Cpudan80> So the only problem is that you can't boot to ubuntu Farajamo ?
[04:31] <Farajamo> cpudan80: yes
[04:31] <syed_nawaz> mindrape, can the information be obtained from the /proc
[04:32] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: Well after changing all that ...
[04:32] <Cpudan80> its no wonder why it wouldnt work
[04:32] <Cpudan80> You basically built a new computer
[04:32] <Rapture2k4> anyone know if it is possible to install Xbuntu on a flashdrive from inside Ubuntu via apt-get?
[04:32] <Farajamo> cpudan80: more or less, yeah
[04:32] <Farajamo> cpudan80: I don't see why that would affect me booting, though
[04:32] <kakalto1> I have an ISA SB16 sound card. I get the ubuntu sound at the login screen, but after this there is no sound, the system says it cannot find a volume control gstreamer plugin and/or device. I can't access volume controls in alsamixer without specifying "alsamixer -c 0" at which point it gives me volume controls. How can I fix all this, get the system to recognise my sound card and 'just work' ?
[04:33] <MrAnthrope> Farajamo: This is what I would do. I would change all my hardware back to what it was and then only replace the pieces one at a time with the new christmas stuff.
[04:33] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: ok so you boot ubuntu and get a white screen?
[04:33] <Farajamo> cpudan80: Yep.
[04:33] <Cpudan80> ok...
[04:33] <Cpudan80> so that means it is working off the correct HDD
[04:33] <Cpudan80> in theory...
[04:33] <Farajamo> MrAnthrope: Jeez, that would be a lot of work. Would I need new parts then?
[04:33] <roy_polos> fg
[04:33] <roy_polos> ghf
[04:33] <Rapture2k4> Cpudan80: he could have multiple boot loaders..
[04:33] <Cpudan80> what does your XP boot.ini file look like?
[04:33] <Cpudan80> pastebin it somewhere
[04:34] <Cpudan80> !pastebin | Farajamo
[04:34] <syed_nawaz> mindrape, does the installer uses fdisk to get the information about the existing partition of a system.
[04:34] <MrAnthrope> Maybe one of your new parts isn't Linux-compatible.
[04:34] <Cpudan80> highly unlikely
[04:34] <mlester> hey how do you get moonlight working in firefox I can't find anything through google
[04:34] <Rapture2k4> ya
[04:34] <Farajamo> cpudan80: Sorry, I'm new to IRC and I have no idea how to pastebin. I rarely use IRC. Also, I can't seem to remember how to get to boot.ini, how embarassing
[04:34] <Katangawise> Hi all! How can I share my folder to another network users, please?
[04:34] <fxhp> Upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10...nvidia driver messed up.  Anyone have any tips?
[04:34] <Cpudan80> ehhhh errr

[04:34] <fxhp> Katangawise: google smb
[04:35] <^paradox^> when is the next release of ubuntu scheduled to come out? i mean how long before update manager gets it, notifies me?
[04:35] <Chaorain> I used NTFS Configuration tool to mount some internal hard drives but I reformated them and now the old icons wont go away
[04:35] <Rapture2k4> or maybe it's Windows\system32\boot.ini
[04:35] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: just go to pastebin.ca and paste the text from the file in the box - then tell us the link here
[04:35] <bullgard4> What is the function of the file /boot/config-2.6.24-22-generic?
[04:35] <linux733t> ATI is good for linux.
[04:35] <Katangawise> fxhp, smb?! Thanks!:)

[04:35] <Cpudan80> ^paradox^: april
[04:35] <linux733t> ATU has a llinux suite that supports Nvidia cards
[04:35] <fxhp> ^paradox^ Every 6 months there is a release
[04:35] <Rapture2k4> Daliang: get a bigger USB drive
[04:35] <Chaorain> I'm actually useing Mythbuntu

[04:35] <Cpudan80> yep
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Daliang, 1 gig and full ubuntu.. wont work
[04:36] <fxhp> ^paradox^ : latest release was 8.10, sooo that is 2008, oct... 6 months from that date
[04:36] <^paradox^> wasnt the last one this past june?
[04:36] <Cpudan80> no
[04:36] <syed_nawaz> how does the ubuntu installer detects the existing partition information during installation.
[04:36] <Cpudan80> october
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !releases
[04:36] <Rapture2k4> Daliang: Ubuntu will need about 4-5GB install
[04:36] <fxhp> Upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10...nvidia driver messed up.  Anyone have any tips?
[04:36] <MrAnthrope> Yea, 1 gig is not enough.
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !usb
[04:36] <Cpudan80> fxhp: did you rerun nvidia-xconfig ?
[04:36] <MrAnthrope> I'm using nvidia on 8.10. Don't they all use the same drivers?
[04:36] <^paradox^> if it was released in oct 2008 how come im still on 8.04?
[04:37] <Cpudan80> Because you didnt upgrade?
[04:37] <Daliang> Rapture2k4: thank you i konw now,is there any method i can try with the 1G usb
[04:37] <Cpudan80> The upgrade manager wont tell you about it by default
[04:37] <Chaorain> um any help with ntfs config tool?

[04:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !br > COTOCO
[04:38] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: I don't think...... that that boot.ini file .... is valid
[04:38] <linuxman410> i bought a 8gig flash drive for less than 30 on ebay
[04:38] <Cpudan80> ^paradox^: things changed since HH was a long term service release
[04:38] <Cpudan80> at least thats my understanding
[04:38] <Overshee> i bought an 8gig for $18
[04:38] <Overshee> like a month ago

[04:39] <mlester> hey how do you get moonlight working in firefox I can't find anything through google
[04:39] <^paradox^> do i need to upgrade?
[04:39] <MrAnthrope> I bought a 1tb usb flash drive for two half pence.
[04:39] <Farajamo> Cpudan80: Well it works, interestingly enough. The K:\ drive is right because I had Ubuntu first, so XP assigned my drive to K:\ and the "ubuntu.bin" I did through a guide and I am not very familiar with it
[04:39] <fxhp> Cpudan80: no help, I think I have an issue with old drive left on the computer

[04:40] <Chaorain> is there a command to search inside all the man pages?
[04:40] <Rapture2k4> Farajamo: easiest way to fix this is to go into your bios and change the order of your hard drives until it works.
[04:40] <Jack_Sparrow> COTOCO, /j #ubuntu-br
[04:40] <Jack_Sparrow> COTOCO, This is english only channel
[04:40] <Cpudan80> Chaorain: aprop I think
[04:40] <WebcamWonder> Chaorain: man -k IIRC
[04:40] <greenleaf> Question:  Is it common for Ubuntu 8.10 to refuse to unmount a USB hard drive even when there are no operations being performed on it?
[04:40] <COTOCO> Jack_Sparrow big shit
[04:40] <Cpudan80> Chaorain: man -k searchTermHere also works
[04:40] <Farajamo> Rapture2k4: I don't believe it's a booting problem, but a problem with Ubuntu itself.
[04:41] <Chaorain> man-k works thanks
[04:41] <Farajamo> Rapture2k4: I get the loading message from Ubuntu (so it's working) but then, BLAMMO, white screen.
[04:41] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: You really should switch to grub
[04:41] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: do you ever see the ubuntu screen at all?
[04:41] <WebcamWonder> greenleaf: Depends on what you mean by operation. Even though no read/write might be performed, a file on the stick might actually be kept open by any program which could theoretically prevent an unmount
[04:41] <Fezzler> I can't reduce this PDF.  17MB.  UGH.  Seems like the fellow scanned all the pages as art.
[04:41] <Farajamo> Cpudan80: Well I see the loading bar and the logo, if that's what you mean
[04:42] <quantumkenny> I just want to say to anyone that will listen:  thank you for Ubuntu, I love it, it's wonderful
[04:42] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: so it gets all the way through that - and then you see the white?
[04:42] <Cpudan80> well
[04:42] <Farajamo> CpuDan80: Yep. And when I try to get to a terminal nothing happens
[04:42] <Cpudan80> when you do ctrl+alt+F1 nothing happens?
[04:42] <Farajamo> Cpudan80: Correct. Just stays white.
[04:43] <Cpudan80> hrmmmm
[04:43] <WebcamWonder> CTRL+ALT+F1 during the usplash should drop you to text during the initial boot
[04:43] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: now we finally get the full story...
[04:43] <greenleaf> WebcamWonder: yesterday I mounted a USB hard drive, did ls on the root of that drive, and then tried to unmount it, and was informed that it could not unmount
[04:43] <Cpudan80> Interesting problem now...
[04:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Cpudan80, sometimes it takes awhile
[04:43] <\Kira> how can I change a command priority?
[04:43] <WebcamWonder> greenleaf: It might be b/c your terminal was actually sitting in the directory you wanted to mount
[04:44] <\Kira> and what is realtime scheduling?
[04:44] <Rapture2k4> anyone know if it is possible to use apt-get to install xbuntu on a drive? i'm in Ubuntu
[04:44] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: Yeah thats a good point, can you do ctrl+alt+f1 immediately when the thing splash shows up to get a full log of boot actions?
[04:44] <Cpudan80> \Kira: nice
[04:44] <Cpudan80> !nice
[04:44] <\Kira> Cpudan80: the command nice?
[04:44] <Farajamo> Cpudan80: I sure as hell can try and get back to you on that.
[04:44] <Cpudan80> yep
[04:44] <\Kira> thanks
[04:44] <greenleaf> WebcamWonder: I checked that.  It wasn't.  it was in the directory above it
[04:44] <Dante123> Rapture2k4 not using wifi....ethernet cable
[04:44] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: If you get to the white - try all the F keys <= 7
[04:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Rapture2k4, you can add xubuntu desktop to your cuprrent install, but you cant apt-get it to a differnets drive
[04:45] <WebcamWonder> greenleaf: Next time run the lsof command to see the open files, and run a grep on it... to find the applications that have open files on the USB stick
[04:45] <Farajamo> CpuDan80: I usually do, but I'll go through everything I can think of. I'll be back in a few
[04:45] <\Kira> Cpudan80: would I have to be root to do this? Since it could crash the system?
[04:45] <^paradox^> ok so i didnt get this cause its not long term support?
[04:45] <Cpudan80> \Kira: ehhh no I dont think so
[04:45] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: Cpudan80: CTRL+ALT+F1 during the usplash should drop you to text during the initial boot (Sorry forgot to put your names in :))
[04:45] <Farajamo> Okay, I will try this.
[04:45] <Cpudan80> \Kira: you have to be the owner of the process I think
[04:45] <greenleaf> WebcamWonder: I tried that, too.  Nothing was using any files in that filesystem.  i've got to go to bed now.  I'll try working on it again tomorow
[04:46] <WebcamWonder> ^paradox^: Yes
[04:46] <^paradox^> they said its not a good idea to skip ubuntu versions so what version is coming out in april?
[04:46] <\Kira> Cpudan80: yes, but If I was to run a huge proccess and set it max nice, wouldnt it interfear with other users or even crash the system? Kinda like a denial of service attack?
[04:46] <firmfriend> hey i m unable to install my modem could u please help?
[04:46] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: there has the same problems.
[04:46] <WebcamWonder> !jaunty | ^paradox^
[04:47] <mindrape> \Kira it could significantly impact performance, yes.
[04:47] <\Kira> mindrape: what about crashes?
[04:47] <Cpudan80> kakalto1: yes but nice limits the values you can use
[04:47] <mindrape> \Kira - some system processes can't be re-nice'd though so in general you oughta be relatively safe.
[04:47] <\Kira> mindrape: cool, thanks
[04:47] <Cpudan80> kakalto1: certain things will be give higher priority anywa
[04:47] <Cpudan80> right
[04:47] <^paradox^> so what do i do? get 8.10 anyways to be safe and not skip a version?
[04:47] <Cpudan80> what mindrape said
[04:48] <Things> Hi, i am dual booting ubuntu and windows, but is there any way to change the order of the boot list?
[04:48] <WebcamWonder> ^paradox^: You can wait out till the next LTS
[04:48] <mindrape> ^paradox^: depends on what you want out of your system....
[04:48] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: sorry, not the same problem, but also a problem: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: could not get/set settings from/on resource
[04:48] <mindrape> ^paradox^: if you like being on the bleeding edge and helping to find bugs then go for +1
[04:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Things, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:48] <mindrape> ^paradox^: if you like a VERY stable environment go with the LTS.
[04:48] <\Kira> Things: edit your boot.list file? Just a guess
[04:48] <Things> Ahh thanks
[04:48] <mindrape> ^paradox^: if you want something in between go w Intrepid.  :)
[04:48] <Cpudan80> kakalto1: Right you need to change the settings from system --> prefs --> sound
[04:48] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: you're aware I'm the one with the ISA sb16 card sound issues?
[04:48] <Rapture2k4> thanx for all the help everyone
[04:48] <\Kira> Things: sorry, Jack_Sparrow had the right file
[04:48] <^paradox^> all i want is for my pc to run properly and have the latest fixes updates
[04:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Things, move the entry up or set the entry you want as the default
[04:48] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: change what settings?
[04:49] <mindrape> ^paradox^: 8.04 or 8.10 oughta be your best bet.
[04:49] <Rapture2k4> i'll probably be back for help with Samba... cuz I can't understand simple english wikis
[04:49] <Things> Okay
[04:49] <Cpudan80> kakalto1: You'll have to play with it
[04:49] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: when I try to change any of them, that error I just said comes up
[04:49] <Cpudan80> kakalto1: Most likely the default mixer track setting
[04:49] <kakalto1> (when I click 'test')
[04:49] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: it can't get a default mixer
[04:49] <Cpudan80> why not?
[04:49] <Cpudan80> What does it do?
[04:50] <scott_> hey, does Samba deamon requre the Cups?
[04:50] <Cpudan80> no...
[04:50] <^paradox^> mindrape: so youre saying 8.10 is kinda like a beta?
[04:50] <Cpudan80> if you want to print with it it does
[04:50] <mindrape> ^paradox^: nah... its just not AS stable.
[04:50] <Cpudan80> ^paradox^: no
[04:50] <mindrape> ^paradox^: if you were running a production server I'd probably go w 8.04
[04:50] <mindrape> for a desktop 8.10 is just peachy
[04:51] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: okay, from the task tray icon, I get "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." From preferences->sound, when I test, I get "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: could not get/set settings from/on resource"
[04:51] <^paradox^> nah im not a production server
[04:51] <Cpudan80> kakalto1: right but you should still be able to change the settings...
[04:51] <kakalto1> when using alsamixer from the console, I must use "alsamixer -c 0"and then it supplies mixer volume thing
[04:51] <Cpudan80> kakalto1: Switch all the things to ALSA
[04:51] <Cpudan80> in the gui
[04:51] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: done. now what?
[04:52] <Cpudan80> push test
[04:52] <gorlak> i run 8.04 on my server, simply for the lts and so i wont have to upgrade for a while, set it up and let it go
[04:52] <gorlak> just tinker with it from time to time
[04:52] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: did you read what I said? For the third time: TEST button comes up with a box that says "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: could not get/set settings from/on resource"
[04:53] <Farajamo> Okay, I'm back. It didn't work out. I managed to get to the terminal during the loading screen, it showed reading boot files, starting all the processes, etc. But then once it finished it went to the white screen again where I was stuck.
[04:53] <Cpudan80> and that happened with the ALSA setting?
[04:53] <Cpudan80> kakalto1: ^
[04:53] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: Yes.
[04:53] <Cpudan80> The setting should read
[04:53] <Cpudan80> "ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture"
[04:53] <^paradox^> it just got confusing is all. i was under the assumption that each 6month release was a stable one
[04:53] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: I'm not a useless noob.
[04:54] <Cpudan80> not the ones that say "Intel .... (ALSA)"
[04:54] <Cpudan80> here I can take a screenshot
[04:54] <mac2020> I am attempting to use ubuntu server 8.10 as a router between two private networks I have assigned static ips to both interfaces.  I've tried a few commands with iptables and route but nothing seems to be getting it to start forwarding traffic - any tips?
[04:54] <Cpudan80> seeing as I have the same audio car
[04:54] <Cpudan80> card
[04:54] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: sound blaster 16 ISA card?
[04:54] <WebcamWonder> ^paradox^: It is a stable release each 6 month. However, LTS is more stable than your stable release, if you understand what I mean :)
[04:54] <fxhp> I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and now my nvidia drivers don't work... Any suggestions?
[04:55] <Cpudan80> kakalto1: ehh no...
[04:55] <Farajamo> Cpudan80: It didn't work out. I managed to get to the terminal during the loading screen, it showed reading boot files, starting all the processes, etc. But then once it finished it went to the white screen again where I was stuck.
[04:55] <Cpudan80> somebody had an intel ICH card..
[04:55]  * Cpudan80 is confused
[04:55] <Cpudan80> anyway
[04:55] <WebcamWonder> ^paradox^: And it would be supported with fixes for a longer time (until next LTS)
[04:55] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: You seem to be getting a little confused there, yes.
[04:55] <Cpudan80> I'll post the screenshot in case it helps
[04:55] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: unless you get the same output when clickign "test", I doubt it will
[04:55] <^paradox^> well im still pretty new to linux. is my best bet just to wait until april?
[04:56] <^paradox^> will i be notified of that one?
[04:56] <WebcamWonder> ^paradox^: Depends on your settings in update-manager. If you have notification on LTS, then you will be notified on the next LTS only
[04:56] <Chaorain> I can't figure out how to unmount an internalll hard drive I mounted with ntfs configuration tool. any help?
[04:56] <Cpudan80> kakalto1: http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/8179/screenshotsoundpreferenqa4.png
[04:57] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: you didnt getting any failed lines?
[04:57] <mdmkolbe> I've got a few thousand image files (jpg, png, etc) that I need to preview in order to find the images I'm after (these are pulled from a disk recovery).  What good image preview apps does Ubuntu have what won't keep me waiting for the previews to be generated (I can visually scan dozons a second) and won't eat up all my ram (I only have 1GB)?
[04:57] <nickrud> Chaorain, sudo umount /path/to/mouinpoint
[04:57] <Farajamo> Cpudan80: Nope
[04:57] <Cpudan80> hmm
[04:57] <kakalto1> Cpudan80: I have no default mixer track.
[04:57] <WebcamWonder> mdmkolbe: Nautilus has a built-in preview feature... if you want to go with that one
[04:57] <Cpudan80> kakalto1: hrm...
[04:58] <nickrud> mdmkolbe, I'd say nautilus also, it thumbnails very quickly
[04:58] <Chaorain> command unmount not found?
[04:58] <nickrud> Chaorain, umount , not unmount
[04:58] <Chaorain> oh
[04:58] <MrAnthrope> I also read 'unmount', heh.
[04:58] <mdmkolbe> WebcamWonder: that is what I was using, but it thumbnaled to slow and eated up my ram until the machine started swapping
[04:59] <nickrud> one more example of human brain pattern recognition error ;;)
[04:59] <MrAnthrope> Yeah I have lots of those.
[04:59] <MrAnthrope> lol
[04:59] <WebcamWonder> mdmkolbe: Ouch...
[04:59] <WebcamWonder> mdmkolbe: Well, I personally use digiKam to organize my photos... which thumbnails, etc. everything for you
[04:59] <nickrud> mdmkolbe, give gthumb a try, it's pretty quick also.
[04:59] <Chaorain> that fixed it but now I still have the folder there in Thunar File Manager
[05:00] <^paradox^> ok well im looking at update managers settings
[05:00] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: Id say that your video card is doing something odd
[05:00] <scott_> Hey all..  I have a samba question
[05:00] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: how to get around it...
[05:00] <WebcamWonder> mdmkolbe: Yeah, gThumb would be a nicer option in your case too
[05:00] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: can you SSH to the machine?
[05:00] <johnny__> hello
[05:00] <^paradox^> it is set to long term support
[05:00] <liza0> for a system that has a athlon x2 4800 and 3GB ram which version of ubuntu do you guys receommend  32 bit or 64 bit ?
[05:00] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: Youd have to have setup SSH beforehand
[05:00] <Farajamo> CpuDan80: I have no experience with SSH'ing so you'd have to help me along there
[05:00] <nickrud> Chaorain, yeah, the tool creates a mount point, you'd have to delete it (or leave it for next use)
[05:00] <^paradox^> how often do lts versions get released?
[05:00] <nickrud> ^paradox^, 3 years
[05:01] <nbeebo> would there be any difference in download speed if i download all files on deluge same time instead of 5?
[05:01] <Farajamo> CpuDan80: So I guess that's a "no".
[05:01] <Chaorain> ok how do I delete a mount point
[05:01] <^paradox^> ah ok
[05:01] <Cpudan80> hrm...
[05:01] <nickrud> 2 years?
[05:01]  * mdmkolbe goes and tries gthumb
[05:01] <johnny__> :^)
[05:01] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: And it doesn't work with the recovery option of the kernel either?
[05:01] <onetinsoldier> liza0: i'd recommned 64-bit
[05:02] <Farajamo> WebcamWonder: I actually haven't tried that
[05:02] <nickrud> ^paradox^, http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/146
[05:02] <mors> hi. is there a command that can be used to get a list of stations that are currently connected to my AP .. using wireless tools maybe
[05:02] <Farajamo> WebcamWonder: Nor have I used it before. Anything I should know?
[05:02] <liza0> ok
[05:02] <Crash0werride> .
[05:02] <onetinsoldier> mors: AP?
[05:02] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: do you see a thing about selecting boot options when you boot up?
[05:02] <mindrape> mors - needs to be done at the AP not local.
[05:02] <johnny__> anyone know how to fix the audio on an acer aspire one ?
[05:02] <mindrape> mors - your router can likely show you a client table
[05:02] <johnny__> hum.
[05:02] <onetinsoldier> what is AP?
[05:02] <Cpudan80> maybe press esc or spacebar or something ?
[05:02] <Farajamo> CpuDan80: Yeah
[05:02] <mindrape> access point
[05:02] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: Nothing much... you should be given a list of otpions you want to perform, you can either do any of them, or skip the list
[05:02] <onetinsoldier> ahhh, thanks
[05:03] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: press that and choose an older kernel
[05:03] <onetinsoldier> thanks mindrape
[05:03] <Cpudan80> See if that works
[05:03] <Farajamo> Cpudan80: WebcamWonder: Okay I'll try that, brb.
[05:03] <WebcamWonder> Cpudan80: I believe his Ubuntu hasn't actually booted properly once... then he would only have 1 kernel
[05:03] <mindrape> mors - technically you can sniff the wireless traffic and find out the MAC addresses of connected users...  could be difficult if you are in an area w a cluster of APs though.
[05:03] <Cpudan80> Well no
[05:03] <mors> mindrape: ah.. i thought if i put my wireless card into some kinda monitor mode, there might be utilities to look at current traffic and figure out the sta list.. thanks
[05:03] <Cpudan80> He had ubuntu before
[05:04] <Cpudan80> before he tinkered with the guts of his computer
[05:04] <mindrape> mors - yeah, you can do that... more difficult.
[05:04] <mors> yep. i thought there might be some util to do that. will log into the ap and check. thanks
[05:04] <mindrape> mors - easiest to just login to the router and get a client table.
[05:04] <WebcamWonder> Cpudan80:  Wait, he tinkered with his PC... Anyone involved changing of video cards?
[05:04] <mors> yep
[05:04] <Cpudan80> WebcamWonder: yes - he swapped the vid card
[05:04] <Cpudan80> WebcamWonder: but he cant get to a terminal to rerun the nvidia-xconfig
[05:04] <WebcamWonder> Cpudan80: And did he happen to have the propietary drivers enabled before he did the swap?
[05:04] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: hang on
[05:05] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: ^
[05:05] <Cpudan80> WebcamWonder: we'll have to ask him :-)
[05:05] <Chaorain> um how do I delete the mount points?
[05:05] <WebcamWonder> Cpudan80: ;)
[05:05] <Farajamo> I switched to a different brand. I went from nVidia to ATI so the drivers are invalid I'm assuming
[05:05] <mindrape> /etc/fstab Chaorain
[05:05] <Cpudan80> oh god
[05:05]  * Cpudan80 dies
[05:05] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: And you had the official nVidia drivers enabled?
[05:05] <demdem> does anyone know a free compiler and how to install things on linux? sorry it's been at least ten years since i last used linux
[05:05] <nickrud> Chaorain, its the same as any other dir:  rmdir /path/to/dir ; if it's owned by root, sudo rmdir /path/to/dir
[05:05] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: Or were you running on the crappy Vesa?
[05:06] <mindrape> demdem - sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:06] <sherl0ck> demdem, gcc
[05:06] <Chaorain> OH
[05:06] <Chaorain> it makes sense now
[05:06] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: essentially, did you select the proprietary driver for nvidia from the restricted driver thing that popped up
[05:06] <SonofC4> Im on a live cd and tryin to burn an iso onto my secondary drive and it keeps telling me the disk is full but its blank
[05:06] <Chaorain> thanks a ton this has been buging me for weeks
[05:06] <Farajamo> WebcamWonder: I can't really remember. I did this a while ago.
[05:06] <demdem> minderape: thanks
[05:06] <mindrape> np
[05:07] <Farajamo> Cpudan80: I believe so, but I might have also went and downloaded drivers. Fuzzy memory
[05:07] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: Well, if you had fancy graphics turned on, that would be the problem right there
[05:07] <Cpudan80> WebcamWonder: Im willing to bet it was enabled
[05:07] <Farajamo> WebcamWonder: Oh. Why?
[05:07] <Cpudan80> WebcamWonder: and the solution is .......
[05:07] <WebcamWonder> Cpudan80: Yes, and nVidia drivers are attempting to load on an ATI card
[05:07] <kckc> hello
[05:07] <Farajamo> Doh!
[05:07] <MrAnthrope> lol
[05:07] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: because its loading invalid drivers for your card
[05:07] <mindrape> hi kckc
[05:07] <PUNISHER> Hello everybody!
[05:07] <onetinsoldier> hi
[05:07] <johnny__> hello back to you kckc
[05:07] <Farajamo> CpuDan80: So what can I do to fix that?
[05:08] <PUNISHER> how are you?)
[05:08] <johnny__> how are you doing PUNISHER
[05:08] <^paradox^> maybe i better not get 8.10 after all. its saying on the site geforce and a few other graphics cards are having problems. my box has geforce 6200
[05:08] <Cpudan80> hopefully WebcamWonder will shed some light on that Farajamo
[05:08] <johnny__> hum
[05:08] <WebcamWonder> demdem: gcc can help you compile things. However, debian packages allow you to install precompiled applications for your distribution and platform
[05:08] <mindrape> we are all doing great, hello and hi to all... this is a support channel... if you wanna just chat head over to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:08] <MrAnthrope> I have a geforce 5500 and 8.10 works.
[05:08] <subone> Whats the deal with Vuze? did they go corporate or something? Is it safe to use?
[05:08] <johnny__> I love GCC just like ANSI C ..
[05:08] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: Let me try to google the options on the recovery menu
[05:08] <Ubuntu_Cookies> hi
[05:08] <johnny__> lol
[05:08] <nickrud> ^paradox^, in case you missed my self correction, http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/146 : 2 years
[05:08] <^paradox^> 3d acceleration?
[05:08] <PUNISHER> johnny__: I'm okay. Has been come in to my work =)
[05:09] <kckc> I have a toshiba a205 laptop, which has a AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter, but its not detected by ifconfig or iwconfig (or present in the networking gui). I do see it in the lspci -v list though. Any ideas?
[05:09] <Farajamo> WebcamWonder: Okay, thanks
[05:09] <Cpudan80> Well
[05:09] <solid_liq> !ping
[05:09] <Ubuntu_Cookies> i have a toshiba satilite
[05:09] <MrAnthrope> vuze aka Azureus?
[05:09] <PUNISHER> johnny__: and you?
[05:09] <sherl0ck> Hey, I tried installing 8.10 on a 2004 G4 iBook (PowerPC). It installed fine, but after the yaBoot, the screen goes inverse with white background and black text. After that, the screen goes black and nothing shows up.
[05:09] <MrAnthrope> I used it for months after it became Vuze. But I'm on dialup now so I can't P2P.
[05:09] <Cpudan80> I'll let WebcamWonder take it from here Farajamo
[05:09] <Ubuntu_Cookies> but i need some help intallling ubuntu
[05:09] <Cpudan80> Farajamo: good luck
[05:09] <bullgard4> What is the function of the file /boot/config-2.6.24-22-generic?
[05:09] <Cpudan80> Im off
[05:09] <nickrud> !laptop | kckc (check for your machine there, it may have info that helps)
[05:09] <johnny__> I'm doing OK PUNISHER.
[05:09] <Cpudan80> night all
[05:09] <sherl0ck> kckc, hey modprobe ath_pci
[05:10] <Farajamo> CpuDan80: Heh, thanks. Also thanks for all the help, 'preciate it.
[05:10] <Ubuntu_Cookies> wow
[05:10] <Decepticon> bizinichi@ks361773:~$ cat .znc/users/biz-sct/moddata/log/spamd_20081230.log >> irc.log
[05:10] <Decepticon> bash: irc.log: Permission denied
[05:10] <^paradox^> i mean hell the guys who installed the card already had to use nonfree drivers
[05:10] <sherl0ck> kckc, or modprobe ath9k
[05:10] <Decepticon> why???
[05:10] <Cpudan80> no problem
[05:10] <Ubuntu_Cookies> the bots work quite well
[05:10] <PUNISHER> johnny__: good =) What do you talking about now?
[05:10] <Ubuntu_Cookies> ubuntu facts
[05:10] <^paradox^> all i need is to have problems with the graphics card
[05:10] <nickrud> bullgard4, it simply tells you what kernel compilation options were used for the kernel
[05:10] <shredder12> how do we apply a patch file??
[05:10] <kckc> sherl0ck, doesn't seem to help
[05:11] <johnny__> fucking acer aspire one. God I hate the PC speakers. how do i turn them off and have the audio jack working ? can anyone toss me a text link ?
[05:11] <Fezzler>  their is no Macromedia Director/Lingo equivalent in Linux yet, is there?
[05:11] <Ubuntu_Cookies> I have a sony vaio that is about 5 years old
[05:11] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: I can't help google find me any information... Coudl you tell me the list of toptions that you get after you go into the recovery mode?
[05:11] <nickrud> bullgard4, useful for starting a custom kernel compilation
[05:11] <Ubuntu_Cookies> can i put linux on it?
[05:11] <kckc> nickrud: thanks, i'll check there
[05:11] <Chaorain> last question for now. Is there a way to make an internal disk appear with the external disks in Thunar File Manager?
[05:11] <Farajamo> WebcamWonder: Sure, I'll be back in a bit.
[05:11] <nickrud> kckc, I think someone who already knew gave you the answer above :)
[05:11] <WebcamWonder> Chaorain: #xubuntu would be your best bet
[05:11] <Fezzler> I want to write simple game for my kids.  Like a 5-6 level mario-type
[05:11] <nickrud> Ubuntu_Cookies, probably, and since it's old the support will be either excellent or terrible :)
[05:12] <Cpudan80> WebcamWonder: it should just give you a prompt in recovery mode
[05:12] <johnny__> use GCC and/or rapidq Fezzler
[05:12] <Ubuntu_Cookies> johnny__> dont swear (the code forbids it)
[05:12] <sherl0ck> kckc, compile madwifi from source
[05:12] <sherl0ck> svn version
[05:12] <Cpudan80> WebcamWonder: he should just be able to do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from there
[05:12] <johnny__> you have to be kidding me ? Ubuntu_Cookies
[05:12] <WebcamWonder> Cpudan80: Yeah... but I don't remmeber the options at all... completely blank here
[05:12] <nickrud> johnny__, think disney G rated here
[05:12] <WebcamWonder> Cpudan80: And google won't turn up anything either
[05:12] <Cpudan80> WebcamWonder: what do you mean all the options?
[05:12] <Fezzler> johnny__: how about Squeaky?
[05:12] <Cpudan80> you mean all the options in xserver-xorg ?
[05:13] <Cpudan80> for reconfigure
[05:13] <WebcamWonder> Cpudan80: You are presented with a list of options when you into recovery mode, xserver-reconfigure, dpkg, etc...
[05:13] <Ubuntu_Cookies> johnny__ no im not kidding i like the cide
[05:13] <johnny__> thanks Nickrud i will keep down now.
[05:13] <Ubuntu_Cookies> code*
[05:13] <bullgard4> nickrud: Ok. Thank you for explaining. --  So it is only an informational file to inform human beings?
[05:13] <johnny__> ok I see your point ubunut_cookies
[05:13] <Cpudan80> WebcamWonder: oh right right I forgot about that
[05:13] <shredder12> I have downloaded a patch file and i m supposed to "apply the patch file" now.. how do i do it..
[05:13] <Cpudan80> Well anyway
	thanks
[05:13] <Cpudan80> he's in good hands
[05:13] <nickrud> bullgard4, I'm 99% sure of that. I've never seen it used anywhere
[05:13] <Cpudan80> Goodnight - goodluck
[05:13] <cellofellow> I have a TSSTcorp TS-L632D CD/DVD±RW drive on my laptop. It works OK for Data CDs, but from day one has been slow with Audio CDs and now doesn't read DVDs at all.
[05:13] <subone> MrAnthrope: did you have any issues installing it?
[05:13] <WebcamWonder> Cpudan80: Hardly... I am a noob by all standards :P
[05:14] <Cpudan80> :-)
[05:14] <johnny__> hum wow
[05:14] <WebcamWonder> !compile | shredder12
[05:14] <MrAnthrope> Installing what?
[05:14] <^paradox^> i guess ill just have to ask if anyone using pny technolgies nvidia geforce 6200 agp has had problems with it under 8.10
[05:14] <bullgard4> nickrud: Ok.
[05:14] <subone> Vuze
[05:14] <MrAnthrope> I didn't use it on Linux.
[05:14] <Fezzler> johnny__: What is GCC?
[05:14] <subone> oh
[05:14] <WebcamWonder> !gcc | Fezzler
[05:14] <johnny__> how do you turn the pc speakers off on a ACER aspire one netbook running ubunut ?
[05:14] <onetinsoldier> Fezzler: it stand for the Gnu C Compiler
[05:14] <Rabbitbunny> I'm having a problem with java. I can't view a java applet. http://www.javatester.org/enabled.html reports that java is not enabled, ff3 reports that it is. how do I procede?
[05:14] <johnny__> GCC is a C++ compiler
[05:15] <shredder12> ubottu: its a diff file..
[05:15] <pist0l-fish> hi all. I just installed 8.10 and I have no sound- I used to use 8.04 and had sound. I have an Intel ICH5 (which is supported by alsa) and I have turned all the controls up using alsamixer (and unmuted everything). Any suggestions?
[05:15] <Fezzler> Oh, yea, write it in C.
[05:15] <cellofellow> Is there some way to diagnose problems in a DVD drive?
[05:15] <johnny__> rapid-Q is a windows XP / Linux GUI compiler.
[05:15] <johnny__> but I like C more.
[05:15] <johnny__> ya
[05:15] <johnny__> :P
[05:15] <onetinsoldier> Fezzler: there is g++ for C++ compiling
[05:15] <Fezzler> I'll use Ruby before C/C++
[05:15] <kckc> sherl0ck, I actually just finished compiling madwifi from source, with no change in the problem
[05:16] <johnny__> Ruby how do you use ruby ?
[05:16] <Fezzler> johnny__: ?
[05:16] <kckc> sherl0ck, (as per the comment on this page http://www.linlap.com/wiki/Toshiba+Satellite+A205)
[05:16] <WebcamWonder> johnny__: It is a scripting language like python, etc.
[05:16] <Rabbitbunny> johnny__: #ruby
[05:17] <johnny__> ok, Ruby and python. fail I say.
[05:17] <johnny__> maybe in time i will have more love for #ruby
[05:17] <nickrud> relative merits of programming languages fit #ubuntu-offtopic better, not really ubuntu support related
[05:17] <johnny__> one day.

[05:18] <^paradox^> well if im gonna get 8.10 ill do it later today. 0:17 here in sc and im too tired to screw with it ;-)
[05:18] <Chaorain> nobody is answering in #Xubuntu so. Is there a way to make an internal disk appear with the external disks in Thunar File Manager?
[05:18] <Fezzler> sounds like Macromedia Director and Lingo path may be easier (than learning C++)
[05:18] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: pastebin.ca is always down for me... weird problem :S
[05:18] <Rabbitbunny> I'm having a problem with java. I can't view a java applet. http://www.javatester.org/enabled.html reports that java is not enabled, ff3 reports that it is. how do I procede?

[05:19] <johnny__> Alix Jones has his own shoutcast network.. lol.
[05:19] <mac2020> my ubuntu server has no resolve.conf file - is this normal?
[05:19] <nickrud> Rabbitbunny, what version of java does firefox say it has?
[05:19] <Fezzler> I just want a little character to run in and out of five rooms and have arm go up and down
[05:19] <shredder12> WebcamWonder: Its actually a diff file.. Its actually a patch file for ethernet driver stuff.. now the article i read asked me to "apply the patch: patch<>" i tried the patch command and it gave me some hunk errors.. i think i m not able to use the command in the right format.. help please..
[05:19] <johnny__> epic.
[05:19] <nickrud> mac2020, it should have resolv.conf
[05:19] <mac2020> ahh no e
[05:19] <ardchoille> How do I change the resolution of tty1?
[05:19] <WebcamWonder> shredder12: patch -p0 < pathtofile is thee syntax of the command IIRC
[05:20] <empiric> hi all any one use open source ALfreco DMS
[05:20] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: Hold on
[05:20] <Farajamo> WebcamWonder: Sure
[05:20] <mac2020> okay my resolv.conf file is there
[05:20] <shredder12> WebcamWonder: kk let me try it..
[05:20] <johnny__> can someone help me with the PC speaker problem with Ubunut? I'm just looking to turn off the built in speakers and not the audio jack.
[05:21] <webBuilder> hello to everyone, my question more application oriented than ubuntu, but you guys are the best so please give me an answer.  I'm building image web Application. I'm storing the images outside tomcat and calling it via java servlet when ever I need to display the image/s to the user can linux handle this if I have multiple requests
[05:21] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: Ok, I believe there are 2 ways of doing this... xfix or dropping to a root shell and modifying xorg.conf by hand. I have never done this before, so this is new territory for me as well... Although I have broken my xorg.conf many times
[05:21] <mac2020> johnny__: you can do that by blacklist the module that makes your pc speaker run - one sec
[05:21] <^paradox^> times kinda dragging by today. it feels like it oughta e 3:00 instead of 0:22
[05:22] <shredder12> WebcamWonder: it says that the "#1 hunk failed at 942"
[05:22] <D3RGPS31> i accidentally removed ubuntu desktop with tasksel :/ after reinstalled the desktop, will i have to fish through to find out anything else it uninstalled?
[05:22] <WebcamWonder> shredder12: Are you sure the patch is against the correct source?
[05:22] <Farajamo> WebcamWonder: So I should just select xfix and work my way from there?
[05:22] <onetinsoldier> ardchoille: you have to have a framebuffer driver set up. it probably already is. then you pass an option to the kernel like so...  vga=794 ...the value you use determines what the resolution is in consle tty's.
[05:22] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: Hold on, let me ask someone here who might know this stuff
[05:22] <mac2020> johnny__:http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/09/17/blacklist-your-pc-speaker/
[05:23] <nickrud> D3RGPS31, no, the desktop is only a list of packages to install; removing the list doesn't remove the items in the list
[05:23] <mac2020> johnny__: that should get you the results you want
[05:23] <earthmeLon> Hey guys, I just bought a new soundcard and I got it working (with OSS >_<) Im trying to figure out how to adjust the volume, though, from my panel.  I've tried changing the device to everything, but nothing adjusts the volume of the new sound card.  Is there something I need to restart so it will register the new card in the list?
[05:23] <WebcamWonder> Guys, will xfix in the recovery mode rebuild the xorg.conf and drop back to the open-source drivers?
[05:23] <webBuilder> hello to everyone, my question more application oriented than ubuntu, but you guys are the best so please give me an answer.  I'm building image web Application. I'm storing the images outside tomcat and calling it via java servlet when ever I need to display the image/s to the user/s. Can linux handle this if I have multiple requests
[05:23] <webBuilder> sorry about my english
[05:23] <ardchoille> onetinsoldier: Ah, yeah, it's the "vga" bit that I forgot. Thank you :)
[05:23] <johnny__> cool
[05:23] <webBuilder> I made the correction
[05:23] <johnny__> thank you
[05:23] <webBuilder> anyone please :(
[05:23] <mac2020> johnny__: my pleasure
[05:24] <nickrud> webBuilder, maybe asking on #tomcat ?
[05:24] <shredder12> ya, i think so.. it was about resolving some ethernet problem with dell vostro 1510 in Ubuntu hardy.. i link to the patch was given in the article.. so i think.. that its correct..
[05:24] <webBuilder> nickrud okay I'll try
[05:24] <webBuilder> thank you
[05:24] <webBuilder> but they do not know about linux
[05:24] <nickrud> oh
[05:24] <nickrud> the philistines ;)
[05:25] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: As per this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=899594 try the xfix first. You can go ahead and later modify the xorg.conf if it doesn't work
[05:25] <Mageiriki-me-bas> i did something and i lost my network connection icon from my gnome panel in ubuntu 8.10 :( how can i get it back?
[05:25] <Rabbitbunny> nickrud: Good thought path. Firefox is a liar. Installing java now.
[05:25] <onetinsoldier> ardchoille: your welcome.
[05:25] <shredder12> WebcamWonder: ya, i think so.. it was about resolving some ethernet problem with dell vostro 1510 in Ubuntu hardy.. i link to the patch was given in the article.. so i think.. that its correct..
[05:25] <Farajamo> WebcamWonder: Okay. By the way man, thanks for all the help so far. I'm having such a weird problem that it's tough to find help.
[05:25] <nickrud> Rabbitbunny, be sure to install sun-java6-plugin
[05:25] <WebcamWonder> shredder12: Could you give me the path to the patch?
[05:25] <Soliloquial> anyone know why I might get a SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED bsod when trying to install windows in a virtual machine?
[05:26] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: Ahh, no problems. Glad to help :)
[05:26] <johnny__> BRB
[05:26] <johnny__> bye
[05:26] <nickrud> Soliloquial, hm, I'd suggest finding a forum/channel that supports the virtuall machine; we don't do windows here :)
[05:26] <johnny__> I hope this works
[05:26] <WebcamWonder> Soliloquial: You would be better off asking in the channel dedicated to your virtual machine application
[05:26] <Kohlrak> Soliloquial: this is for linux, not windows. However, in a pm i might be able to help if you're willing to do some research =p

[05:27] <Mageiriki-me-bas> i did something and i lost my network connection icon from my gnome panel in ubuntu 8.10 :( how can i get it back?
[05:27] <cellofellow> Some help with that maybe? ^^^^^^^^
[05:27] <Chaorain> can someone explain how mount works? I know I need "mount -t ntfs 'device' /media/windows" but what do I put for the device?
[05:27] <nickrud> Mageiriki-me-bas, you still have internet connection?
[05:27] <Mageiriki-me-bas> nick, yes.
[05:28] <Kohlrak> Chaorain, have you tried man "mount"?
[05:28] <onetinsoldier> Chaorain: try   parted -l
[05:28] <cellofellow> Chaorain: try ntfs-3g instead too.
[05:28] <mdmkolbe> WebcamWonder, nitridr: fyi, gthumb didn't work (it wanted to pre-calculated all the thumbs), but it looks like gqview will do just fine
[05:28] <Mageiriki-me-bas> nickrud, but there is not the icon, so i cannot choose in wich wireless i want to connect. So i have a problem :(
[05:28] <onetinsoldier> Chaorain: then see if you see a partition that's listed as ntfs
[05:28] <nickrud> Chaorain, the device would be in /dev ; it's a pointer to the physical partition.  sudo fdisk -l will list all the partitions and give the /dev/<path> to use
[05:28] <nickrud> Mageiriki-me-bas, ok, do right click panel, add to panel, and add notification area
[05:29] <WebcamWonder> mdmkolbe: Ahh... Sorry, I never knew it wanted to pre-calc. I used to use f-spot and then have only recently switched to digiKam
[05:29] <Chaorain> WOW connection lagged
[05:29] <onetinsoldier> Chaorain: bah.. nvm, the parted command doesn't work..  try --> fdisk -l
[05:30] <WebcamWonder> onetinsoldier: Don't forget to sudo that :)

[05:30] <Geoff_> Hey, can someone help me with installing GRUB? I already have Linux and Windows installed, but I need to restore GRUB. My first hard drive got messed up and I needed to reformat it, but I can't figure out how to install GRUB to boot my Linux stuff on my second hard drive.
[05:30] <Chaorain> ok thanks

[05:32] <Ward1983> my friend and i both use dyndns, we want to make a littel script: PC1 checks every few minutes if PC2 is still online, if its not online, PC1 starts a ddclient and takes over the hostname (1:1 copy of the webservers)
[05:33] <Sindacious> Is there anyone here that successfully upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 with no issues?
[05:33] <shredder12> WebcamWonder: yes it has
[05:33] <Ward1983> anyone know if something like that allready exists?
[05:33] <Rabbitbunny> while i'm in this channel, get some dolt to work on launchpad. what retard figured that forcing people to memorize a login to report errors was a great idea? I don't care to help with your errors... I want mine fixed. get it?
[05:33] <Ward1983> i mean well be having the same content on out webservers
[05:33] <Ward1983> we want more redundancy that way
[05:33] <helloyo> good to see linux is improving nicely while i've been away
[05:34] <peepsalot> i don't understand my network manager.  when I plug in to wired connection it shows the wired connection radio button selected, but the wireless network I was previously connected to is also still selected.  is it connected to both at the same time?
[05:34] <eseven73> Ward1983: maybe a bash script with rsync on a cron would do something like that , although dont ask me how :)
[05:34] <WebcamWonder> shredder12: Try patch -p1 < path.to.file
[05:34] <Ward1983> eseven73, the syncing is not the problem
[05:34] <Ward1983> eseven73, the dyndns part is the problem
[05:34] <WebcamWonder> peepsalot: It is possible to be connected to multiple networks at the same time
[05:34] <eseven73> ah
[05:35] <WebcamWonder> !pm | rzta
[05:35] <peepsalot> WebcamWonder, well i'm trying to test the performance of my wired connection, so I need to be sure that I'm only connected to that
[05:35] <peepsalot> WebcamWonder, well i'm trying to test the performance of my wired connection, so I need to be sure that I'm only connected to that
[05:35] <Ward1983> so PC1 checks if PC2 (other location / ISP) is online, if not, PC1 takes over the dyndns domain that was first assigned to the ip of PC2
[05:35] <Ward1983> and that also the other way around
[05:35] <WebcamWonder> peepsalot: You can disconnect from the wireless if you want
[05:36] <darkrubicant> evening
[05:36] <darkrubicant> having a problem with sudo apt-get update
[05:37] <smkn_> woy................................
[05:37] <eseven73> yep Ward1983 that would require some sort of bash script over SSH, that pings PC2 every so many mins, if no ping responce, pc1 kicks things in gear, but you'd prolly have to crawl around the bash forums for the script :(
[05:37] <shredder12> WebcamWonder: same error.. "ing file r8168.h #1 failed at 942"
[05:37] <nickrud> darkrubicant, what problem?
[05:37] <darkrubicant> failed to fetch problem
[05:37] <darkrubicant> I'll post in a paste bin what it's saying
[05:37] <darkrubicant> been doing this for days
[05:37] <eseven73> Ward1983: try #Bash?
[05:37]  * nickrud backspaces
[05:37] <darkrubicant> !pastebin
[05:37] <WebcamWonder> shredder12: Ok, open the r8168.h in gedit/leafpad
[05:37] <Ward1983> eseven73, will look aroudn first this probably allready exists
[05:38] <WebcamWonder> shredder12: And tell me what do you see at line number 943
[05:38] <nickrud> Ward1983, or maybe a php script that passes info back and forth
[05:38] <darkrubicant> http://paste.ubuntu.com/95674/
[05:38] <eseven73> Ward1983: sounds like a common enough script, shouldnt have too much probs finding it, ask in #bash too :)
[05:38] <darkrubicant> there's the paste of what's happening, it's failing to open two sources of index files, and it tells me to do sudo apt-get update again to fix the problem, but it doesn't fix it.
[05:39] <nickrud> darkrubicant, put your /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[05:39] <Ward1983> nickrud, i'm pretty sure php cannot execure programs
[05:39] <darkrubicant> ok
[05:39] <Ward1983> nickrud, ddclient is a program
[05:39] <shredder12> WebcamWonder: this is line 943 	CSIAR_Addr_Mask = 0x0fff,
[05:39] <shredder12> WebcamWonder:  and this one is 942 "CSIAR_ByteEn_shift = 12,"
[05:40] <onetinsoldier> darkrubicant: you've been having that problem for days?
[05:40] <WebcamWonder> shredder12: Yup, that source is not the same as the one with which this patch was generated
[05:40] <nickrud> Ward1983, php is a scripting language, I do think it can call anything: http://us2.php.net/exec
[05:40] <jtaji> darkrubicant: your sources.list must be a mess, hardy, hardy backports, gutsy-backports, intrepid, wth
[05:40] <darkrubicant> yes
[05:40] <darkrubicant> hang on
[05:40] <ardchoille> onetinsoldier: vga=794 didn't work, neither did 791. I stopped doing this in Feisty because there was a bug that rendered its use ineffective. However now it seems that Ubuntu will scan when prsented with the wrong value and offer correct values
[05:40] <peepsalot> are there any ways to optimize samba performance?
[05:40] <WebcamWonder> shredder12: You can open up the patch file and see that it is completely different from what the patch file is expecting... that is why it is failing
[05:41] <darkrubicant> I know I changed some things because a post said to when updating some things, and i'm sure this is the problem now i'm not sure what to change back.
[05:41] <Farajamo> WebcamWonder: Success! I am typing this from Ubuntu
[05:41] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: Congratulations!
[05:41] <ardchoille> This distro just keeps getting better :)
[05:41] <darkrubicant> here's the post of the pastebin
[05:41] <darkrubicant> http://paste.ubuntu.com/95676/
[05:41] <Farajamo> WebcamWonder: Thanks for all the help! Now I just need to re-do all my drivers and monitor configuration.
[05:41] <nickrud> darkrubicant, line 36, change ftp to http
[05:41] <Ward1983> nickrud, so i can start any program trough php? sounds like a very large potential security issue
[05:41] <darkrubicant> k
[05:42] <WebcamWonder> Farajamo: Haha. No problem. However, now that you have an ATI, you would need the ATI drivers and the ATI tools to configure everything, not nVidia :)
[05:42] <onetinsoldier> ardchoille: hmmm, i see. there should be a list somewhere that shows what given value determines what a specific resolution will be
[05:42] <nickrud> darkrubicant, also line 43, check for others
[05:42] <tengulre> how to convert the .rle to .jpg ?
[05:42] <Farajamo> WebcamWonder: I see that now... Well, I'm off to enjoy. Thanks again. If I have anymore problems, I'll be back, don't worry.
[05:42] <darkrubicant> the other ones are good.
[05:43] <nickrud> Ward1983, yes: there are security options, read the link to exec for an exampel
[05:43] <Broly> anyone have an idea why ubuntu would shutdown while i was asleep?
[05:43] <darkrubicant> what do I need to type to alter this file?
[05:43] <ardchoille> onetinsoldier: sorted, 318 works now where 791 used to work (1280x1024)
[05:43] <darkrubicant> sudo gedit?
[05:43] <Ward1983> nickrud, im not gonna take those chances, php is just not made for this stuff
[05:43] <WebcamWonder> darkrubicant: gksu gedit
[05:43] <shredder12> WebcamWonder: Ya i can see.. but i have downloaded the latest version of realtek driver.. is it because of it..
[05:43] <shredder12> WebcamWonder: i mean because of the latest version
[05:43] <nickrud> darkrubicant, cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/Desktop (make a backup) then gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:44] <ardchoille> onetinsoldier: when grub detects the wrong value, it will present you with a list of correct values :)
[05:44] <WebcamWonder> shredder12: Highly likely
[05:44] <onetinsoldier> ardchoille: ahhh, i see. well, i wonder where these newer values can found, but glad you figured it out :-)
[05:44] <onetinsoldier> ardchoille: roger that.
[05:44] <nickrud> darkrubicant, a general rule: never use sudo with a gui app, always use gksu
[05:44] <shredder12> WebcamWonder: may be i should consult the writer of the article.. newaz.. thanks for ur help..
[05:44] <darkrubicant> why
[05:44] <WebcamWonder> shredder12: No problems. Glad to help
[05:44] <akahige1> due to hardware compatibilities with Intrepid, it looks like I'm going to have to revert to Hardy... is there a better way of doing this...?
[05:45] <WebcamWonder> darkrubicant: sudo is for terminal based applications. gksu is the graphical counterpart to that
[05:45] <jtaji> akahige1: besides reinstalling? not really
[05:45] <nickrud> darkrubicant, there's a possibility of writing config files in your home directory as root; it causes real issues sometimes
[05:45] <UndergroundZer0> hi all
[05:45] <darkrubicant> oh
[05:45] <darkrubicant> thanks nickrud
[05:45] <UndergroundZer0> Wanna ask q? please help
[05:45] <onetinsoldier> akahige1: are you certain you hardware incompatibility cannot be solved under the newer version of ubuntu?
[05:46] <akahige1> jtaji: so reformatting the file systems and going from there?
[05:46] <nickrud> darkrubicant, when you have some time, you should compare:   env | sort ; sudo env | sort; gksu env | sort
[05:46] <jtaji> UndergroundZer0: ask away
[05:46] <pentaside> I'm new to Linux and I want to learn more about terminal commands.  Anyone have a book or website recommendations?
[05:46] <UndergroundZer0> Can I load both server edition and Desktop which will integrate both
[05:46] <nickrud> UndergroundZer0, yes
[05:47] <UndergroundZer0> nickrud: how?
[05:47] <jtaji> pentaside: here are two to start you with ;) http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/index.html  http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html
[05:47] <nickrud> UndergroundZer0, in fact, if you install the server, you can just:   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to get the full desktop
[05:47] <onetinsoldier> pentaside: http://linuxcommand.org/
[05:47] <Ubuntu_Cookies> cool
[05:47] <UndergroundZer0> yes
[05:47] <akahige1> onetinsoldier: I'm not sure about that. the prob is that xorg chews up >75% of the cpu. there are bugs filed, but no activity. I tried asking in the xorg channel if there's a possibility that it could be a kernel conflict, but no one responded
[05:47] <UndergroundZer0> nickrud
[05:47] <onetinsoldier> !terminal | pentaside
[05:47] <UndergroundZer0> i did that
[05:47] <darkrubicant> thanks fixed.
[05:47] <jtaji> UndergroundZer0: or alternatively, just install the desktop form the start, you can use all the same server apps, it's exactly the same
[05:48] <UndergroundZer0> Okai
[05:48] <onetinsoldier> akahige1: roger. sounds strange...upgrade to jaunty! hehe. j/k

[05:48] <UndergroundZer0> does all the server tools like Mysql Php Apache tomcat mailserver ...etc come along with desktop edition
[05:48] <UndergroundZer0> ?
[05:48] <pentaside> Ok thanks guys.
[05:49] <WebcamWonder> UndergroundZer0: Yes... that are one and the same thing
[05:49] <WebcamWonder> UndergroundZer0: Yes... they *are one and the same thing
[05:49] <nickrud> UndergroundZer0, the only substantiall diff between them is the desktop installs the -generic kernel, while the server installs the -server kernel. I've never really compared them, so the I'm not sure of the differences. But both work fine with either
[05:49] <mindrape> UndergroundZer0: by default they aren't installed but it's as simple as sudo apt-get install <each>
[05:49] <akahige1> onetinsoldier: lol.  do you have any thoughts about the kernel theory?
[05:49] <UndergroundZer0> nickrud thank you so much and thank you guys
[05:49] <deniz_> im using intrepid ibex, how do i make all icons on desktop 75% of their size?
[05:49] <Ubuntu_Cookies> sh etc/rc/ passwd Usernamehere (hacking(change passwd) into mac from command line)
[05:50] <WebcamWonder> Ubuntu_Cookies: That is not hacking. That is simple password changing
[05:50] <mindrape> what WebcamWonder said...
[05:50] <WebcamWonder> !offtopic | Ubuntu_Cookies
[05:51] <Ubuntu_Cookies> !offtopic|mindrape
[05:51] <onetinsoldier> akahige1: i doubt i know enough to really give anything other than a guess. and i'd have to know your hardware to even do that. like everything, vid card, chipset model, and a number of other things. but even with that info i really doubt i could do anything except guess
[05:51] <huwenfeng> hi, i got a problem, i use ssh to login to a remote server, and if i did not input anything for a while, maybe 10 minutes,  when i input commands again, it will logout from the remote server.  it said somethig like : " connection closed by peer ....." .   anyone knows about this?
[05:51] <Ubuntu_Cookies> i do
[05:51] <mindrape> !abuse
[05:51] <WebcamWonder> huwenfeng: Idle timeout
[05:51] <huwenfeng> Ubuntu_Cookies: then ?
[05:52] <huwenfeng> WebcamWonder: This is the setting of SSH or the Shell?
[05:52] <onetinsoldier> akahige1: with that said.. it is possible to compile and install the newer 2.6.28 kernel yourself in Intrepid and see what that does for you
[05:52] <akahige1> onetinsoldier: I understand.  I'm just terribly confused by the fact that everything worked fine under hardy and went to the dogs after I upgraded to intrepid.  same probs with both the open and closed nvidia drivers
[05:52] <Ubuntu_Cookies> its happening to  one of my machines too (i need to debug it though)
[05:52] <WebcamWonder> huwenfeng: Should be SSH, hold on. Using OpenSSH/
[05:52] <error404notfound> how do I configure tcpwrapper in ubuntu?
[05:52] <WebcamWonder> huwenfeng: Should be SSH, hold on. Using OpenSSH?*
[05:53] <huwenfeng> WebcamWonder: YEs, OpenSSH
[05:53] <powertool08> haggus99: have you tried "alsactl store <card #>"
[05:53] <WebcamWonder> huwenfeng: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/02/03/keeping-ssh-sessions-alive/, let me find a more relevant link
[05:54] <onetinsoldier> akahige1: ok, upon hearing that you upgraded, my thought would be that you could try a fresh clean install with no 'major upgrade' involved and see what does for you. that could be the problem right there
[05:54] <eseven73> if i have like Vbox started, can i restart X and have vbox still active and i can come back to it ?
[05:54] <Ubuntu_Cookies> !<factoid>
[05:54] <eseven73> Not sure that was worded well, but meh :/
[05:54] <UndergroundZer0> one more thinng guys
[05:54] <akahige1> onetinsoldier: if that was true, would you say that things should function correctly running from the live cd?
[05:55] <UndergroundZer0> Is it possible to load IRC Shell on Ubuntu
[05:55] <Ubuntu_Cookies> Yes
[05:55] <aganthorp> anyone running ubuntu on a macbook pro 5,1? I have a couple questions
[05:55] <Ubuntu_Cookies> i am
[05:55] <Ubuntu_Cookies> its the one im using right now
[05:55] <zeno> Is there any way to automatically check if any packages you have installed do not have a 64 bit version?
[05:55] <aganthorp> how did you get your sound to work?
[05:55] <onetinsoldier> akahige1: that what i do. if i ever o a major upgrade and and it's all fine after the upgrade, then ok. but if there's any hint of an unsolvable issue, then i do a fresh clean install
[05:55] <UndergroundZer0> Is it possible to load IRC Shell on Ubuntu guys
[05:56] <onetinsoldier> akahige1: yes.. you have the same problem on the LiveCD?
[05:56] <mindrape> UndergroundZer0: what do you mean irc shell?  like an eggdrop?
[05:56] <UndergroundZer0> yes
[05:56] <akahige1> onetinsoldier: yes. same problem from the live cd
[05:56] <UndergroundZer0> Where you can run IRCD server and Eggdrop
[05:56] <mindrape> yeah, install eggdrop like any other program and use it...
[05:56] <Ubuntu_Cookies> >	how did you get your sound to work? (i re installed drivers for the Entire system and sound cards)
[05:56] <UndergroundZer0> Where you can run IRCD server and Eggdrop
[05:56] <WebcamWonder> huwenfeng: Here you go... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=631302
[05:56] <eseven73> UndergroundZer0: easily
[05:56] <eseven73> ive done it
[05:56] <mindrape> UndergroundZer0: sudo apt-get install eggdrop
[05:57] <UndergroundZer0> okai
[05:57] <eseven73> unrealircd is in the repos too
[05:57] <onetinsoldier> akahige1: hmmm i see. well then.you could be right about something in Intrepid not liking your system
[05:57] <huwenfeng> WebcamWonder: OK, let me see it
[05:57] <haggus99> powertool08 yesit gives me this error alsactl: relocation error: alsactl: symbol snd_tlv_parse_dB_info, version ALSA_0.9 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference
[05:57] <akahige1> onetinsoldier: my assumption is that xorg is the culprit, but I was reading on /. about some graphics performance stuff in the new kernel and I thought "ah hah -- maybe it's a kernel thing and the xorg issue is just fallout"
[05:57] <eseven73> UndergroundZer0: theres a few ircd's in the repos
[05:57] <WebcamWonder> zeno: Most applications that are officially supported are available on all the platforms, unless otherwise restricted from obvious reasons
[05:58] <onetinsoldier> akahige1: could be. as i said, you could compile a custom 2.6.28 kenel and see what that does for you. i've done it. i can boot into 2.6.28 right now if i want to. but i like my fglrx drivers, and they don't have a version that works with 2.6.28 yet
[05:59] <zeno> WebcamWonder: i am using restricted drivers for nvidia and broadcom, also skype.  you know off top of head if they are 64?
[05:59] <johnnbstroud> back
[06:00] <WebcamWonder> zeno: I am on 64. All that you listed are available as far as I can see. Although in my defence, I am on hardy, and not intrepid
[06:00] <akahige1> onetinsoldier: got any idea how far away we are from the new kernel hitting the repos?
[06:00] <huwenfeng> WebcamWonder: Oh, is there a possibility that it is the gateway that decide to close the connection?
[06:01] <sloopy> !grub
[06:01] <WebcamWonder> huwenfeng: I doubt that... unless the gateway is misconfigured... idle connections still transmit a certain amount of packets
[06:01] <huwenfeng> WebcamWonder: i am inside a big Intranet, and i ssh to the outside server.
[06:01] <powertool08> haggus99: could you perhaps have two versions as the person in this post? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/278615 you can find the executables with "whereis alsactl"
[06:01] <sloopy> ubottu, thank you
[06:01] <WebcamWonder> zeno: But the version of the OS shouldn't be a problem. Those are officially supported packages/applications
[06:01] <johnnbstroud> how do you edit the menu.lst file in grub to show text with the splash screen ?
[06:02] <WebcamWonder> huwenfeng: I doubt that. It is more likely that the idle setting is kicking in
[06:02] <adityahaha> fuckin shit
[06:02] <Mageiriki-me-bas> i have a laptop and ubuntu 8.10 can't configure an atheros wifi card. what should i do?
[06:02] <huwenfeng> WebcamWonder: then must be the SSH Server, i ssh to my VM machine, the connection lasts for a very long time.
[06:02] <WebcamWonder> !language | adityahaha
[06:02] <mindrape> !vulgar
[06:02] <onetinsoldier> akahige1: no idea. i really don't really even know if they'll make 2.6.28 for intrepid. if they do, i can only guess that it would be a few months from now, pure guess
[06:02] <adityahaha> pardon
[06:02] <adityahaha> this is ma first time
[06:02] <akahige1> onetinsoldier: cool. thanks for the  advice
[06:02] <huwenfeng> WebcamWonder: Yes, maybe, can i config the ssh-client to send messages even if the connection is idle?
[06:03] <deniz_> is there a software alternative to totem for playing DVDs in repositories?
[06:03] <onetinsoldier> nickrud: hi. do you think they'll ever upgrade to kernel 2.6.28  for intrepid? if they might do something like that, how far into the future do you think it might be? just a total guess
[06:03] <sloopy> onetinsoldier, morning... gonna be around a while?
[06:03] <nickrud> deniz_, vlc is popular
[06:03] <scunizi> deniz_, also mplayer
[06:03] <WebcamWonder> huwenfeng: As long as you properly configure the server/client to not timeout, you should be fine. But I suppose your method could be done as well
[06:03] <onetinsoldier> akahige1: ok, you're welcome and good luck
[06:04] <nickrud> onetinsoldier, very unlikely. they may chose to backport bits of it, but change kernels? Not likely at all
[06:04] <deniz_> r
[06:04] <michaelwoo>  
[06:04] <deniz_> oops
[06:04] <onetinsoldier> sloopy: no, not really. getting to be bedtime here really
[06:05] <onetinsoldier> nickrud: ok, that's pretty much what i figured. thanks
[06:05] <sloopy> onetinsoldier, ok i will show you in the morning...
[06:05] <k0tar3l> Is there a way to mass install every package possible in synaptic package manager?
[06:05] <sheena1> hello?  total newbie to the IRC thing..
[06:05] <onetinsoldier> sloopy: ok, sounds good :-)
[06:05] <onetinsoldier> and with that, i'm out. take care all
[06:05] <nickrud> k0tar3l, no, in fact many packages conflict with one another, and can't be installed at the same time.
[06:06] <sloopy> k0tar3l, this isnt a good idea, especially considering alot of packages conflict with each other
[06:06] <johnnbstroud> hello peoples :^D
[06:06] <k0tar3l> is there a way to ignore conflicting packages?
[06:06] <Jim_Raynor> hi
[06:06] <sheena1> im having sound issues. my speakers/sound works fine for youtube videos, and for both dvds and avi files, but will not play mp3 or m4a files (haven't got any other formats to try) using any player, including VLC (which plays everything else..)
[06:06] <sloopy> k0tar3l, deleting /usr/bin would be an easier way to hose your system...
[06:07] <Jim_Raynor> is there a way to recover a directory deleted using rm -R ?
[06:07] <scunizi> !mp3 | sheena1
[06:07] <sloopy> !undelete | Jim_Raynor
[06:07] <mindrape> Jim_Raynor - not easily... but yes.  It is possible.
[06:07] <nickrud> sloopy, I'm quoting that one to :)
[06:07] <nickrud> *too
[06:07] <sloopy> nickrud, quoting what?
[06:08] <nickrud> about deleting /usr/bin a simpler system destroyer
[06:08] <sloopy> nickrud, sure, i have seen many ways people can wreak havoc on a computer... that was just first in mind when i needed one...
[06:10] <soreau> ! audio
[06:11] <sheena1> so even if the computer won;t play the files, if i convert them to this OGG thing, then they'll play fine?
[06:11] <johnnbstroud> sheena1 use and/or install mencoder or something
[06:11] <sheena1> I already have the restricted formats thing.
[06:12] <sheena1> what is mencoder?
[06:12] <johnnbstroud> sudo apt-get install mencode
[06:12] <sheena1> it is a file converter?
[06:12] <johnnbstroud> it's a multi format encoder audio and video for ubunut
[06:13] <johnnbstroud> hum.
[06:13] <johnnbstroud> :|
[06:13] <haggus99> powertool08: I tried that renamed the file tried to save again still getting the same error
[06:13] <sheena1> i have Sound Converter. Will it do what i need to do?
[06:14] <aoeuid> I just installed intrepid onto an a acer netbook and there is no sound at all on skype, has anyone had a problem like this?
[06:14] <powertool08> haggus99: hmm, well I'm out of ideas, maybe if repeat your problem somebody else will know. Good luck
[06:14] <sfer23> sheena1: what are you trying to do? convert sound? soundconverter does just that.
[06:15] <sfer23> sheena1: although, soundkonverter has more choices
[06:15] <Jim_Raynor> damn... so, it's pretty much impossible?
[06:15] <sheena1> tada!!!! it works!!!
[06:15] <haggus99> powertool08: ok thx
[06:15] <sheena1> you guys are awsome!!!
[06:15] <sheena1> totally cool
[06:15] <bullgard4> What is the function of the file /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic/.config?
[06:15] <mindrape> aoeuid: you can try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype to see if some of their Troubleshooting Skype section helps
[06:15] <sheena1> i have been trying to get a solution to this for weeks. Jeez. Thank you so much, everyone who contributed.. i got another one :)
[06:15] <deniz_> nickrud, scunizi, thx
[06:16] <sloopy> bullgard4, it is the config when that kernel was compiled
[06:16] <nickrud> bullgard4, it's the config file that is used for compiling the kernel. Copying over the config-* to that .config is the first step in modifying the kernel parameters for your custom kernel
[06:16] <sheena1> Is there a way to increase the volume? I'm not sure that my physical speakers are the limitation. When I have the software volume on high, and turn the computer volume as high as it goes, most things are still rather quiet. I suppose its possible my speakers just suck, but I thought maybe there's a setting somewhere that changes this?
[06:17] <bullgard4> sloopy: Can you explain to me what do you mean by 'config'?
[06:17] <mindrape> sheena1: sudo alsamixer          from a terminal
[06:17] <mindrape> sheena1 you can push all levels to the max there...
[06:18] <sloopy> bullgard4, when a kernel is compiled there are options for drivers/kernel options that need to be configured when the kernel is compiled, that file is the config for it, incase you need it for rolling your ownkernel
[06:19] <bullgard4> nickrud: Thank you very much for explaining.
[06:19] <sheena1> awsome. is there one of those for my webcam settings?
[06:19] <huwenfeng> mindrape: is there a possibility that i send the music of left to both the left and right channel?
[06:20] <mindrape> huwenfeng: never tried that... dunno.
[06:20] <huwenfeng> mindrape: my right earphone is broken.
[06:21] <bullgard4> sloopy: Thank you very much for explaing.
[06:21] <bullgard4> explaining
[06:21] <sloopy> bullgard4, np
[06:22] <sheena1> Is there a similar set of options (like alsamixer) that allows me to control the settings of my webcam?
[06:22] <mindrape> never had a webcam... dunno.  :(
[06:23] <sheena1> thanks mindrape. maybe google knows :)
[06:23] <mindrape> sheena1 - maybe sudo apt-get install camorama?
[06:24] <johnnbstroud> .o0(thinking about stuff)
[06:24] <linxer> Hi all..
[06:24] <johnnbstroud> hello linxer
[06:24] <johnnbstroud> :^)
[06:24] <linxer> is there a ubutnu version availbel for windows mobile (ppc) ?
[06:24] <johnnbstroud> linpus linxer
[06:24] <johnnbstroud> linpus
[06:25] <sheena1> i have camorama. but when i try to use Cheese to record from webcam, it doesn't have any settings. i'll play with it. thanks so much, everyone for all your help. I will never go back to windows, and it's nice to know I have somewhere to figure out the bugs :)
[06:25] <screamsayonara> what do i need to do to amarok to make it able to import the files from my ipod into my.. uh.. "collection".. it seems to be extracting them, and then says "couldnt organise ...files"
[06:25] <linxer> johnnbstroud: i will check it out thanks
[06:26] <sheena1> thanks everyone. good night/morning!
[06:26] <mindrape> screamsayonara: what filetype?  mp3 or jpg?
[06:26] <screamsayonara> mp3s
[06:26] <mindrape> screamsayonara: you can locate *.mp3
[06:26] <screamsayonara> whatever do you mean
[06:26] <screamsayonara> i can see and play the files off my ipod
[06:26] <mindrape> it's a command.    pull up a terminal and type              locate *.mp3 to see where they exist on your local filesystem if you dont know where they copied to.
[06:27] <screamsayonara> but i cant get em onto my harddrive, and i know it can be done cause i did it on my last ubuntu
[06:27] <screamsayonara> ok
[06:27] <screamsayonara> was i supposed to substitute something for the *?
[06:27] <mindrape> you may need to              sudo updatedb                if they were just recently copied as the "location" database won't have entries for 'em.
[06:27] <mindrape> nope... * is a wildcard... although you may need to *.MP3 as it may be case sensitive.
[06:28] <lanoxx> i just upgraded to the latest kubuntu 8.10 and kde 4.2 beta 2, most of my gtk apps look very strange now. firefox even lacks a lot of icons in the toolbar and the webdeveloper bar is broken
[06:28] <mindrape> lanoxx - may wanna ask in #kubuntu.
[06:29] <screamsayonara> no they havent copied to my harddrive
[06:29] <huwenfeng> Read from remote host xxxxxxxxxx: Connection reset by peer
[06:29] <huwenfeng> Connection to xxxxxxxx closed.
[06:29] <mindrape> screamsayonara: well if you use a tool like gtkpod I believe you can right click and save them locally.
[06:29] <mindrape> dont recall the exact context menu name but it is something like export.
[06:29] <huwenfeng> this is exactly what i got, when the connection closed!
[06:30] <huwenfeng> anyone knows how to solve this problem?
[06:30] <error404notfound> anyone who could tell me how can I use tcpwrappers on ubuntu in combincation with denyhosts?
[06:30] <mindrape> huwenfeng: what were you trying to do?  Your IRC client said that?
[06:30] <huwenfeng> no, my ssh connection said that
[06:31] <mindrape> error404notfound:  http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/2000-04-08.01.html
[06:31] <mindrape> its ancient but should still be relevant.
[06:31] <error404notfound> mindrape: lemme check
[06:31] <goodday324324> hello i just installed ubuntu first time i use linux, is it normal it takes more than 5  min to boot up on my acer aspire laptop ?
[06:31] <new> hjy
[06:31] <huwenfeng> goodday324324: no,
[06:31] <mindrape> goodday324324: should be a tad quicker than that I would think... maybe 2 mins?
[06:31] <powertool08> huwenfeng: I'd enable verbose debugging "-vvv" and maybe have it write to a logfile? It could give more clues as to what happens before the connection drops
[06:32] <huwenfeng> goodday324324: you must have some problem
[06:32] <goodday324324> it is very very slow starting up but once its started it runs fine
[06:32] <goodday324324> any ideas how to speed it up
[06:32] <huwenfeng> powertool08: Oh, you mean i should start the ssh connection like this: "ssh -p port -vvvv ip_addr"
[06:33] <jean_grey> hello
[06:33] <mindrape> goodday324324: I'd check /var/log/messages to see if there are any obvious issues in there and dmesg finally cat /var/log/boot
[06:33] <jean_grey> I need some help here..
[06:33] <powertool08> huwenfeng: yes but I think you can only have up to 3 v's
[06:33] <mindrape> goodday324324: there is also a tool called bootchart you can install which graphs the time to boot and bottlenecks...
[06:33] <jean_grey> who can help me!!!!
[06:33] <jars> hi all
[06:33] <william56> anyone know a way to boost sound above the maximum of the volume control and alsamixer?
[06:33] <mindrape> !ask | jean_grey
[06:33] <goodday324324> i also have another problem which issort ofconnected, if i insert anything in the usb, mouse , thumbdrive, etc it is not recognised by ubuntu, unless i restart with them connected
[06:34] <goodday324324> very frustrating using the thumbdrive with these long boot times !
[06:34] <mindrape> goodday324324: well you can manually mount them... we can get to that in a bit.
[06:34] <goodday324324> ok
[06:34] <goodday324324> so how do i find this log
[06:34] <powertool08> goodday324324: if you hit ctrl-alt-f1 during the boot splash it will switch back to showing you each step, just look for anything that stays for awhile before moving on
[06:34] <mindrape> check those logs I mentioned earlier...
[06:34] <mindrape> pull up a terminal
[06:34] <goodday324324> ok
[06:34] <Jim_Raynor> damn... they're gone
[06:34] <mindrape> type sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[06:35] <mindrape> then type           cat /var/log/messages | pastebinit
[06:35] <mindrape> it will give you a URL... paste it in here.
[06:35] <mindrape> then do            dmesg | pastebinit        and give us the URL      and finally         cat /var/log/boot | pastebinit
[06:36] <GreedyB> Whats the best way to backup Ubuntu?
[06:36] <mindrape> !backup
[06:36] <GreedyB> thank you!
[06:36] <vavoysh> hi there. how can i access a vista partition so that i may backup files from either an ubuntu partition ont he machine or through a live CD?
[06:37] <mindrape> !mount
[06:37] <WebcamWonder> !gparted | vavoysh
[06:37] <vavoysh> thanks
[06:37] <gmathews> Hi, what application can I use to manage events/birhdays (like a diary with a reminder etc)
[06:37] <vavoysh> will that help me access the vista partition so that i may back up those files?
[06:38] <mindrape> vavoysh: I'd recommend using mount...
[06:38] <mindrape> vavoysh - you can find the partition by doing      sudo fdisk -l
[06:38] <vavoysh> m'kay
[06:38] <vavoysh> thanks
[06:38] <WebcamWonder> vavoysh: Sorry. I thought you said "resize a vista partition". Use mount mindrape is correct
[06:38] <vavoysh> ok
[06:38] <mindrape> vavoysh - then you can       cd /mnt          mkdir VISTA            sudo mount /dev/VISTAPARTITION /mnt/VISTA
[06:38] <sloopy> gmathews, evolution is a email/calender app
[06:38] <mindrape> vavoysh: you'll likely need to throw in -t ntfs to let it know its NTFS...
[06:38] <mindrape> but usually mount is pretty intelligent.
[06:39] <vavoysh> allright
[06:39] <sloopy> !iso

[06:39] <sloopy> gmathews, kontact does
[06:39] <WebcamWonder> gmathews: There is mozilla's ... something I forgot its name
[06:39] <Wicked> bah. i cannot get this blurriness/washed colors to go away....im pretty sure its got to do with my refresh rate...but no matter what i do it doesnt get better
[06:40] <mindrape> goodday324324: you have a TON of vc032x: I2c Bus Busy Wait 0 messages... this is likely the issue.
[06:40] <gmathews> WebcamWonder: under what type of program will it be listed ? - a scheduler perhaps?
[06:40] <WebcamWonder> gmathews: Hold on

[06:40] <gmathews> ahhahaa LancerNZ :P

[06:41] <LancerNZ> ah
[06:41] <Gnea> LancerNZ: nice password
[06:41] <LancerNZ> thanks
[06:41] <goodday324324> mindrape:  what do you think is the problem one of the devices ^
[06:41] <mindrape> goodday324324: I found a post on an Ubuntu forum that seems to address your issue....
[06:41] <goodday324324> oh
[06:41] <WebcamWonder> gmathews: sunbird, it should be in the repos
[06:41] <mindrape> goodday324324: you need to pull up a terminal and sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[06:42] <gmathews> WebcamWonder: thanks :) gonna check it
[06:42] <mindrape> goodday324324: then at the BOTTOM of that file add this... blacklist gspca_vc032x
[06:42] <rccu> no gedit, use vim instead!
[06:42] <powertool08> +1 for vim
[06:42] <goodday324324> ok and what will thisdo
[06:42] <goodday324324> will thisfixmy usb
[06:42] <mindrape> goodday324324: it will make it stop trying to probe for that device which it clearly can't configure.

[06:42] <samthetwohippman> WorldBFree:_ I havn't, but it can be done
[06:42] <mindrape> right now it just repeatedly tries to get it to work which bogs you down...
[06:42] <LancerNZ> #@$@#
[06:43] <WebcamWonder> LancerNZ: You are really having a bad day aren't you?
[06:43] <LancerNZ> yeah
[06:43] <mindrape> goodday324324: you have probably close to 80 entries for just that one module...
[06:43] <goodday324324> ok so should i use vim or gedit
[06:43] <powertool08> whoever mentioned bootchart earlier, where does it install too? "bootchart" in terminal doesn't work
[06:43] <WebcamWonder> goodday324324: use gedit...
[06:43] <mindrape> goodday324324: use whatever you want... gedit is going to be easiest for you.
[06:43] <powertool08> goodday324324: probably gedit
[06:43] <goodday324324> maybe its related to the problem i hadinstalling ubuntu it would halt at 90% concerning usb-storage module
[06:44] <LancerNZ> Okay - what's passwd as far as Nickserv is concerned?
[06:44] <mindrape> goodday324324: yup... maybe you had a USB device plugged in during installation and it kept an entry for it. For whatever reason it always looks for it now and you may not have it plugged in.

[06:51] <dustin_> Hi all. I have a newbi problem. I just installed 8.10 and am having trouble configuring the monitor. It started up with an "unknown" monitor setting running at very low resolution (600x800 ?). I then prompted me to install the "unsupported" drivers for my NVIDIA graphics card. After the reboot the resolution is set to 640x480. Can anyone give me advice on how to configure this or where to...
[06:51] <dustin_> ...find documentation on how to set it up?
[06:52] <goodday324324> tank u have a nice day !
[06:52] <mindrape> venger - what error do you get, if any?
[06:52] <WebcamWonder> !nvidia | dustin_
[06:52] <Seabornsol> hello?
[06:52] <mindrape> venger - what URL do you go to:   ie;  do you attempt to authenticate in the URL?        http://user:pass@server:port
[06:52] <mindrape> hi Seabornsol
[06:53] <Seabornsol> good evening
[06:53] <dustin_> Ok, pulling up the documentation now. Thanks for steering me in the right direction. ;-)
[06:53] <earthling> eeboy_ : its xinetd here
[06:53] <eeboy_> WebcamWonder: Hmmm... is there a reason for it?
[06:53] <venger> mindrape, right now i go straight to https://server:631 and when i go to print test page it pops up an authentication dialog which keeps repopping like its not accepting credentials eventually i get 401 not authorized
[06:54] <Seabornsol> this is nice, this is my first time here
[06:54] <abhi1> how to delete a directory?using -r makes so slow..........
[06:54] <eeboy_> earthling: That's not present either....
[06:54] <eeboy_> earthling: Shouldn't there be a default install?
[06:54] <WebcamWonder> eeboy_: I have no clue... I am not an expert here
[06:54] <rccu> abhi1: rmdir if it's empty; `rm -r` otherwise
[06:55] <mindrape> venger - can you go into CUPS from the localhost that it runs on?            localhost:631        then look in the Administration tab under the Access Log on the right side?
[06:55] <earthling> eeboy_ : what do you want to do exactly?
[06:55] <bastid_raZor> abhi1; rm -Rf will not prompt you..
[06:55] <mindrape> also check the Error log venger...
[06:55] <eeboy_> earthling: I am trying to share a scanner...
[06:55] <abhi1> ya some contents are thr in directory,it just warns me of data?
[06:55] <abhi1> k i'll those cmd's
[06:55] <eeboy_> earthling: via xsane
[06:55] <samthetwohippman> eeboy: of course there is a reason for "it"... The question is: what is it?\
[06:55] <CaptainMorgan> !xsane
[06:56] <venger> mindrape, those would just be /var/log/cups/[access_log&error_log] right?
[06:57] <venger> mindrape, headless ubuntu server
[06:57] <mindrape> venger - I believe so... but if you go into that panel on the localhost I believe the Admin tab will allow you to edit perms.  You can always just edit the files manually too
[06:57] <earthling> eeboy_ : do you have xinetd.d in /etc?
[06:57] <mindrape> venger - can you ssh to it then        lynx localhost:631
[06:57] <mindrape> or links if you prefer?
[06:57] <abhi1>  < bastid_raZor>gud thr was some data,so ur cmd worked,thanx.....
[06:58] <bastid_raZor> abhi1; be very careful with that command. it is potentially dangerous.
[06:58] <eeboy_> earthling: Yes, I do and I have it configured. However, according to everything I read I am to add a line to inetd.conf... then restart. Well... inetd.conf exists but I can't find inetd.
[06:58] <SunJay> i just installed 8.10 on my toshiba satellite a205 and i accidently left the wifi card off during the install and now when i turn it on it doesn't even show up when i run ifconfig
[06:58] <mindrape> venger - I believe you need to edit your cupsd.conf in /etc but not 100% sure what to change.  You either need to add the user you are authenticating to a group or change some other perms to make them less restrictive.     man cupsd.conf will be your best bet.
[06:59] <mindrape> SunJay - does it show up in       sudo lshw -C network
[06:59] <abhi1>  < bastid_raZor>no i was reinstalling mplayer,was kinda removing junk files,thanx 4r info........
[06:59] <mindrape> SunJay or in lspci or dmesg for that matter?
[06:59] <venger> mindrape, ok i had assumed it would just use pam
[06:59] <earthling> eeboy_ : you must make change in xinetd.conf ..
[06:59] <mindrape> venger - you need to configure it to use that... did you edit the default config?
[06:59] <gvsa123> what's the command again if i downloaded a targz to install?
[07:00] <darkfuzion> !rooms
[07:00] <mindrape> tar -zxvf thefile.tar.gz to extract it.
[07:00] <earthling> eeboy_ : its in /etc
[07:00] <venger> mindrape, sure a plenty but it has auth type of basic
[07:00] <mindrape> then once extracted you likely need to       ./configure then make then make install
[07:00] <SunJay> mindrape - yes it does show up
[07:00] <mindrape> SunJay - sudo iwconfig doesn't list it?
[07:00] <mindrape> SunJay - what does lspci list?  Can you paste JUST the single line related to the card in here?
[07:01] <Cooldogs_1_> hi?
[07:01] <johnnbstroud> wow, I'm back.
[07:02] <^arky^> hi
[07:02] <mindrape> hi Cooldogs_1_
[07:02] <SunJay> it shows up in iwconfig. and what is lspci?
[07:02] <johnnbstroud> hello peoples
[07:02] <mindrape> lspci lists pci devices... or is this a USB wireless device?  lsusb
[07:02] <Cooldogs_1_> im having difficulty with vsftpd
[07:02] <^arky^> can anyone help me configure atheros AR242x on Ibex
[07:02] <Cooldogs_1_> i want to change the directory it uses to /cars/www
[07:02] <Cooldogs_1_> and i want to beable to create a username/password
[07:02] <SunJay> its built into the laptop
[07:03] <johnnbstroud> acer aspire one ..
[07:03] <mindrape> Cooldogs_1_: man vsftpd.conf      cd /etc/       nano vsftpd.conf     edit it as necessary, save it,    then    /etc/init.d/./vsftpd restart
[07:03] <mindrape> ^arky^: is that a wireless card?
[07:03] <Monona> What is the shell command used to look at diagnostic messages when a program crashes?  Do you need to have run the program from the command line to use it?
[07:03] <mindrape> Monona: I use          strace theprogram
[07:03] <^arky^> yes, mindrape
[07:03] <SunJay> i think this is it "05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)"
[07:03] <mindrape> then it will show you all the data on what is wrong.
[07:03] <Cooldogs_1_> ok
[07:03] <Cooldogs_1_> silly me
[07:03] <Cooldogs_1_> lol
[07:04] <mindrape> SunJay, ^arky^ - let me google your cards to see if a valid driver exists for Linux... if not you can use a Windows driver using ndiswrapper (ndisgtk is easy to config it)
[07:04] <mindrape> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5693578   <--- lets you use a Windows driver for your wireless card in Linux.
[07:04] <samthetwohippman> eeboy: next time you want to find a file, try locate or find......you may need to use sudo with find
[07:05] <SunJay> ok. thanks by the way
[07:05] <mindrape> SunJay - can you confirm that the radio is actually on?
[07:05] <^arky^> mindrape, I think ath_pci should work with this device coz in ubuntu HH it works without a problem
[07:05] <xun> any Opera user in here? how can I configure my mx1000 mouse to use the "back" & "forward" button with opera? it works by default for firefox, but not opera
[07:05] <SunJay> yes the light for the wifi card is on
[07:05] <bullgard4> What do effect the lines CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK=m, CONFIG_NF_CT_NETLINK=m, CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK=y und CONFIG_QUOTA_NETLINK_INTERFACE=y in/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic/.config?
[07:05] <Monona> mindrape: Thanks. I'll take a look.
[07:05] <mindrape> ^arky^: can you lsmod and see if it is loaded?         lsmod | grep "ath_pci"
[07:06] <^arky^> yes mindrape its load ed ath_pci along with wlan and ath_hal
[07:06] <BentFrank> am i sick if i browse total strangers' pastebins for fun?
[07:07] <earthling> mindrape: madwifi is a better option for atheros devices.. I had very bad experience with ndiswrapper.. but madwifi worked like charm for ateros devices
[07:07] <mindrape> ^arky^: okay can you run       nm-tool
[07:07] <mindrape> SunJay can you             lsmod | grep "iwl3945" and see if that is loaded ?
[07:07] <^arky^> yes, nm-tool only shows eth0
[07:08] <mindrape> ^arky^: and is eth0 listed as having a wireless interface in iwconfig?
[07:08] <^arky^> eth0 no wireless extensions
[07:08] <gvsa123> how come thunderbird isn't available through synaptic?

[07:08] <Gnea> gvsa123: how are you sure that it isn't?
[07:08] <mindrape> maybe there was breakage from your last release to 8.10?
[07:09] <^arky^> ok

[07:15] <nerdyperdy> does anyone know what u get (apps) when u dld ubuntu8.10?? from the ubuntu website???
[07:16] <nerdyperdy> im worried that whan i install it i want be able to run anything
[07:16] <n2diy> I just tried to DL a video, and Totem is giving me an error message about Gstreamer support libs?
[07:16] <nerdyperdy> i have a p2p client and i dld alot of movies...and the net and that about all i use my omp for

[07:17] <ardchoille> nerdyperdy: I installed Ubuntu 8.10 and I currently use it to do office work, surf the web, email, instant messaging, irc, graphics work, videos, there's really a lot Ubuntu can do and I haven't had to touch any other operating system in 7 years :)
[07:17] <lintunen> I have already read the documentation on pinning and as I mentioned above I have already tried 'locking' in Synaptic.  I am out of ideas because it still gets overridden.
[07:17] <samthetwohippman> Nerdy: I think you need the edubuntu repositories
[07:17] <aoeuid> I've got an acer aspire one netbook and my internal mic works, but when I plug in an external one it isn't detected
[07:17] <ardchoille> nerdyperdy: it might help if you specify what you need to OS to do
[07:17] <aoeuid> has anyone had something similar happen?
[07:17] <nerdyperdy> what p2p client can i use...i currently have vuze...and what file extension are supported
[07:18] <ardchoille> !p2p
[07:18] <nerdyperdy> i need to be able to dld movies,music and surf the net,burn dvds and cds
[07:18] <nonix4> if multiple available apt repositories have the same pkg(s), which source will apt use?

[07:19] <nerdyperdy> what comes with the dld...im sorry for all the questions.just wanting to make sure b4 i switch from xp
[07:19] <ardchoille> gvsa123: Ah, good point, I haven't ever used that stuff so I don't know
[07:19] <jtaji> lintunen: I would probably try it the first way described on that page, rather than through synaptic if synaptic isn't doing it for you
[07:20] <jtaji> nerdyperdy: just download the cd and run it, it is a livecd and will run the default system without installing anything
[07:20] <samthetwohippman> you will probably need medubuntu repositories to watch movies
[07:20] <nerdyperdy> so anything that linux supports...unbutu supports???
[07:20] <samthetwohippman> edubuntu was a mistype
[07:20] <lintunen> jtaji:  thanks, I'll give it a go
[07:20] <jtaji> nerdyperdy: but what comes with the download is rather besides the point, the system makes it simple to install new apps and there are thousands available
[07:20] <nerdyperdy> the cd dld is at 95%
[07:20] <ardchoille> nerdyperdy: Ubuntu is a distribution of Linux - one of many
[07:20] <mindrape> nerdyperdy: by default you get some basic tools like OpenOffice (equiv of MSOffice)... any tools you want in addition you can install via          System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager... you just click on the program you want and choose Apply and it gets installed to your Applications menu

[07:21] <mindrape> !language | nerdyperdy
[07:21] <samthetwohippman> use ddclient
[07:21] <Awsoonn> I just swaped out a nic and I have no network, how can I make it recognize my new interfaces?
[07:22] <samthetwohippman> yes you can configure ddclient to do that
[07:22] <nerdyperdy> and whats up with router support????
[07:22] <nerdyperdy> i have a wireless router...will it still work???
[07:22] <mindrape> Awsoonn: hal should detect them automatically... if it doesn't then you can lspci to figure out what they are then google for the driver and modprobe drivername to get them working
[07:22] <Alex_21> Ok, how. I need to fix it before my account is deleted, and I have DDClient installed
[07:23] <mindrape> nerdyperdy: wireless support is kinda iffy... lots of people come here to get their wireless cards working.  In general you can get it working 95% of the time with limited tweaking.
[07:23] <Awsoonn> mindrape: detects them fine under lspci, and I have the same modle nic workgin in other systems
[07:23] <ardchoille> !wireless | nerdyperdy
[07:23] <jtaji> nerdyperdy: again, the livecd will tell you if wireless works out of the box, but if it doesn't it still might be able to be made to work
[07:24] <samthetwohippman> Nerdy, you can only do so much with the live cd. you can install whatever you want with the live cd, as long as you have the ram. As soon as you turn off the computer it will all be gone. to really see what can be done with ubuntu, you need to install it
[07:24] <Awsoonn> mindrape: I am under the impression this is a udev rule issue because they have new mac addressses, but don't know enough to fix it.
[07:24] <mindrape> Awsoonn: if its working on other boxen then          lsmod to find out what module they're using then          modprobe thatdriver      on the one w the issue
[07:24] <phix> nerdyperdy: lol
[07:24] <Alex_21> Ok, how do I configure DDClient? Please. I need to fix it before my account is deleted, and I have DDClient installed
[07:24] <samthetwohippman> linux is way better than windows. you can get any program for free. you can do anything
[07:24] <phix> What's the Ubuntu command to disable network manager?
[07:24] <sfer23> nerdyperdy: Compatibility is not determined by the wireless router, but rather, by the wireless card in your computer.
[07:24] <phix> samthetwohippman: windows has its place.
[07:25] <mindrape> phix - ps aux | grep "nm"        kill off the pids I guess?       or grep for "network" ?
[07:25] <phix> mindrape: where is it started? boot up scripts? gdm? gnome?
[07:25] <omfgItsAShark> whats a good program to mount the ubuntu iso?
[07:25] <phix> omfgItsAShark: mount
[07:25] <mindrape> !iso
[07:26] <nerdyperdy> maybe i should stick to xp...
[07:26] <mindrape> phix - not 100% sure... :(
[07:26] <samthetwohippman> Alex_21: google it. that's how I did it. it was not easy, but if you go to the dydns information knowledgebase, its all there. it's hard to find, and it took me a while, but it's there
[07:26] <phix> nerdyperdy: perhap
[07:26] <mindrape> nerdyperdy: maybe so.  Linux isn't for everybody.  Get the LiveCD, check it out...
[07:26] <nerdyperdy> its done downloading
[07:26] <CapaH> I am looking for a simple way to convert a PDF to HTML, and vice versa - using command line tools. Can anyone suggest to me the best way to do this?
[07:26] <omfgItsAShark> well i am on windows and i need to put the ubuntu iso onto a disk to install onto my laptop
[07:26] <nerdyperdy> what exactly is the livecd
[07:27] <phix> CapaH: pdf2<TAB>
[07:27] <Awsoonn> mindrape: I have the modual loaded but nothign is using it.
[07:27] <phix> CapaH: press the TAB button twice
[07:27] <samthetwohippman> phix: yeah windows has its place, especially in the workstation world, but I just think linux is better
[07:27] <sfer23> nerdyperdy: It allows you to test Ubuntu without having to install it on your computer, although it's somewhat limited in what you can do from a live cd.
[07:27] <mindrape> Awsoonn: sudo iwconfig               any wireless interfaces?
[07:27] <CapaH> dsc or ps ..
[07:27] <omfgItsAShark> any help at all?
[07:27] <ardchoille> nerdyperdy: It provides Ubuntu in a "live" environment which runs from cdrom and ram to allow you to use the Ubuntu system without installing it to the hard drive
[07:27] <unop> CapaH,  poppler-utils: /usr/bin/pdftohtml
[07:27] <mindrape> or is this a standard nic?  sudo ifconfig?       maybe you need to sudo /etc/init.d/network restart ?
[07:27] <ardchoille> nerdyperdy: I take the livecd everywhere I go so I can use Ubuntu anywhere
[07:28] <nerdyperdy> i mean...i downloaded 8.10 from unbutu.com...or .org...is that the live cd???
[07:28] <ardchoille> yes
[07:28] <nerdyperdy> i want xp to go away
[07:28] <Awsoonn> mindrape: blimey! there is an eth4 and 5 listed there... silly kernel. :)
[07:28] <CapaH> I tried pdftohtml but 'zoom' seems to not work, and the pdf I am trying to convert ends up being very small - with no way to zoom past 1.0
[07:28] <jtaji> omfgItsAShark: any cd recording software will allow you to burn an iso image to disk
[07:28] <sfer23> nerdyperdy: it contains the live cd and can be installed.
[07:28] <nerdyperdy> ok
[07:28] <Alex_21> Help, how to I set ddclient to find the address from my isp if I am behind a router?
[07:28] <gvsa123> how do i import my thunderbird from windows xp to ubuntu via wubi? mail and everything
[07:28] <mindrape> Alex_21 - in a terminal type          man ddclient
[07:28] <nerdyperdy> im going to install it...i'll be on tomorrow...thanks
[07:29] <ardchoille> nerdyperdy: one point, tho, burn it as an image, don't burn the iso file itself to cd. most burners have an option to "burn an image"
[07:29] <mindrape> too late ardchoille  lol
[07:29] <sfer23> gvsa123: You can just back up your profile from Windows and bring it across to Ubuntu, I don't trust automated things
[07:29] <ardchoille> oh well, he'll get it I'm sure
[07:29] <mindrape> he'll be back tomorrow or later tonight to complain
[07:30] <unop> Alex_21,  myip=$(wget -q -O - http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp); echo $myip
[07:30] <samthetwohippman> omfgItsAShark: you either need to burn an ISO with software that gives you that option, or if the software asks you if you want an exact copy, that will work
[07:30] <mindrape> ooh... spiffy idea unop.  :)
[07:30]  * mindrape archives that away.
[07:30] <gvsa123> sfer23: i used mozbackup over at xp, but it seems that there is only a windows version for that.. can i simply import it from ubuntu without having to use any tool or something?
[07:30] <ardchoille> Ubuntu is just awesome. I entered the wrong video mode into grub (vga=791) and grub told me it was wrong and presented me with a list of other modes to use. This is new, it wasn't present in Dapper
[07:31] <sfer23> gvsa123: You can simply put it in your ~/thunderbird/profiles folder
[07:31] <gvsa123> sfer23: i see.. will give that a try
[07:32] <samthetwohippman> Alex_21: do a google search:   configure ddclient     I guarantee you, your answer will be there. It will require you do search through each link, and take some time to read them. Otherwise, you can just forget it.
[07:32] <sfer23> gvsa123: Actually, it's ~/.mozilla-thunderbird, and then you can drag the folder of that profile into there.
[07:32] <bullgard4> What do effect the lines CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK=m, CONFIG_NF_CT_NETLINK=m, CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK=y und CONFIG_QUOTA_NETLINK_INTERFACE=y in/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic/.config?
[07:32] <kindofabuzz> during boot, i get Activating swap [ok], but once booted, i have no swap.
[07:33] <sfer23> gvsa123: If you're dual booting, you can just make that thunderbird profile folder a link to your windows install's profile folder.
[07:33] <gvsa123> sfer23: i found the profile from windows... do i copy just the *****.default folder into ~/.mozilla-thunderbird?
[07:33] <mindrape> kindofabuzz: you sure?             free -m
[07:33] <sfer23> gvsa123: yes
[07:34] <kindofabuzz> mindrape, yup, i get 0 with free -m
[07:34] <kindofabuzz> mindrape, i can do the swapon /dev/sdb2 no problem, but how can i fix in fstab? maybe the UUID is wrong?
[07:35] <kindofabuzz> i don't know how it changed or whatever though
[07:35] <mindrape> possibly... blkid
[07:36] <kindofabuzz> mindrape, hmm the uuid is correct, it's just not mounting, well during boot it says it is
[07:36] <iluminator101> Hey is there a way to add cleartype font to mozilla 3.0? Thanks in Advance
[07:36] <GodfatherofEire> Er, could somebody give me a little help with Installation here? I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my computer (again, for the 3rd time in 5 months, no idea how I screwed it up this time), but this time I'm trying to dual-boot the system with (goes and pukes) M$ Windows, with a ~40gig FAT32 partition for storage that both systems can access, any ideas on how I might manage this?
[07:36] <eseven73> if i send a app to the background does that mean i can restart X and it still be there later?
[07:37] <ardchoille> eseven73: yes, but you might want to look into using screen
[07:37] <mindrape> kindofabuzz: try dmesg and var/log/messages to see if there are errors
[07:37] <eseven73> ardchoille: yea that was my next question :)
[07:38] <ardchoille> eseven73: I use mutt, irssi, elinks, mc, bash, finch, and a few others in screen on tty1
[07:38] <Purposeful1> is this where i can ask a question about compiz?  i'm on an eee 900 with ubuntu eee, and when i installed compiz and restarted, i got an error message saying that "your screen is not composited... please run compiz (-fusion) or another composite manager"
[07:38] <eseven73> ardchoille: so in theory i could do 'screen VirtualBox &' or -d  and restart X and VirtualBox would still be running?
[07:38] <ardchoille> eseven73: anything used in screen will run regardless of what you do to x
[07:38] <ardchoille> eseven73: my x was broke and I was like "pfft, I'll fix it later"
[07:38] <Alex_21> Where do I put that line, in the IP cache?
[07:38] <Awsoonn> mindrape: FYI the fix was in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules where I simply had to delete teh extranius lines, reboot and have udev recreate them for me. simple as pie :) thanks
[07:39] <eseven73> ok you sound like a minimalist like me, irssi, w3m, elinks FTW!!! :)
[07:39] <ardchoille> yes :)
[07:39] <eseven73> icewm too :)
[07:39] <nonix4> ardchoille: well, excluding restricted drives crashing the entire host w/ blob...
[07:39] <Alex_21> Oh, ok, thanks
[07:40] <Alex_21> Good night. Bani bash
[07:40] <eseven73> ardchoille: sorry i got offtopic there, but thanks for the help :)
[07:40] <ardchoille> eseven73: you're welcome
[07:40] <samthetwohippman> Alex_21: read this page http://www.dyndns.com/support/kb/using_ddclient_with_dyndns_services.html#config
[07:40] <GodfatherofEire> Er, could somebody give me a little help with Installation here? I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my computer (again, for the 3rd time in 5 months, no idea how I screwed it up this time), but this time I'm trying to dual-boot the system with (goes and pukes) M$ Windows, with a ~40gig FAT32 partition for storage that both systems can access, any ideas on how I might manage this?
[07:40] <eseven73> he left samthetwohippman
[07:41] <Purposeful1> hmmm
[07:41] <unop> eseven73, there are better ways to have VB running unattended.
[07:42] <jason_> i'm having an issue with my wifi in my toshiba satellite a205 and was refered to this "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5693578" however when searching my wireless card i stumbled across this ssaying i should already be supported "http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi" PS: my card is the Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
[07:42] <Purposeful1> can anyone help me with this "screen not composited.. please run compiz (-fusion) or another composite manager" error?
[07:42] <eseven73> unop: how so? screens pretty nice
[07:42] <Purposeful1> i'm a complete noob at all this, and i'm desperately trying to learn my way around ubuntu, lol >.<
[07:44] <GodfatherofEire1> Also. any ideas as to why/how I've managed to bork my fs 3 times in 5 months
[07:44] <samthetwohippman> Purposefull: try typing the error message into google. it'll take some time and some reading, but you should find the answer
[07:44] <Biovore> you been using sudo :-P
[07:46] <Purposeful1> sam: i did a couple times... the results are all in either a different language or they're running full desktops that have video card issues
[07:46] <kindofabuzz> mindrape, i don't really see anything abnormal
[07:46] <samthetwohippman> Purposefull: is compiz installed on your computer?
[07:47] <samthetwohippman> when you googled, did you also type in ubuntu forums?
[07:47] <samthetwohippman> or ubuntu geek?
[07:47] <Purposeful1> yeah--that's where i found the results that i did find
[07:47] <Purposeful1> in ubuntu forums
[07:47] <Purposeful1> compiz is installed, yes
[07:47] <error404notfound> I am using squid server on Ubuntu hardy heron. When I set my firefox proxy to squid server, it works fine but when I enforce the use of proxy in shorewall, I get http://pastebin.com/m6a85bcbe
[07:47] <Purposeful1> but it doesn't seem to run very well--not sure if it's a graphics problem or a compiz problem
[07:48] <samthetwohippman> \
[07:48] <koshii> Hello, probably easy solution.  How do I install Firefox i386 on x64 version of Hardy Heron 8.04
[07:48] <koshii> question mark!
[07:48] <Biovore> koshii: need ia32-libs
[07:48] <kindofabuzz> mindrape, i think i may have found the problem, i had a space after UUID=   i know how picky fstab is about spaces sometimes
[07:49] <GodfatherofEire1> Er, could somebody give me a little help with Installation here? I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my computer (again, for the 3rd time in 5 months, no idea how I screwed it up this time), but this time I'm trying to dual-boot the system with (goes and pukes) M$ Windows, with a ~40gig FAT32 partition for storage that both systems can access, any ideas on how I might manage this?
[07:49] <samthetwohippman> Purposefull: type compiz into a terminal, and what is the first thing it says:
[07:50] <Purposeful1> checking for xgl: not present
[07:50] <koshii> Biovore, okay I have them
[07:50] <Biovore> GodfatherofEire1: I thought the installer came with a partion resizer..   The disc thing (gparted) is a little confussing.
[07:50] <koshii> I actually already had them :s
[07:50] <Biovore> koshii: so you want the 32bit firefox for what reason?
[07:50] <samthetwohippman> google xgl, or who knows what xgl is
[07:50] <ardchoille> Is there a command-line only app that's close to being equivalent to gkrellm?
[07:50] <koshii> so I can get adobe flash and java support
[07:50] <nonix4> GodfatherofEire1: painfully... since different versions of m$ stuff have different ideas of which kinds of partitions to support and which not
[07:50] <samthetwohippman> it is obviously something to do with x windows
[07:51] <koshii> quickly
[07:51] <Biovore> koshii: there supported via some wrapper.. they should work on linux x64..  It does here..
[07:51] <kindofabuzz> koshii, have you installed java and flash?
[07:51] <Biovore> koshii: apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras..
[07:51] <Biovore> should install them for you
[07:51] <n2diy> GodfatherofEire1, what problems are you having, sounds like a simple install?
[07:51] <samthetwohippman> this may be your problem. you may need an xgl
[07:51] <koshii> yes, but not everything works for flash
[07:51] <kindofabuzz> like?
[07:51] <Purposeful1> Xgl is an X server architecture designed to take advantage of modern graphics cards via their OpenGL drivers, layered on top of OpenGL via glitz.
[07:51] <koshii> http://www.isketch.net/isketch.shtml
[07:52] <nonix4> Biovore: the partition resizer happily creates 4 primary partitions leaving unused disk space there and then misses the ability to convert them non-destructively to any other format...
[07:52] <Purposeful1> hmm
[07:52] <koshii> does that work for any of you on x64 firefox?
[07:52] <monday> is it ok to just run 8.01??
[07:52] <koshii> So how would I install firefox i386? :s
[07:52] <monday> ????
[07:52] <jim_p> ardchoille, htop :|
[07:52] <samthetwohippman> so the architecture is what is built into your computer
[07:53] <samthetwohippman> how old is your computer
[07:53] <kindofabuzz> koshii, doesn't work for 32 bit, it's probably the sites fault
[07:53] <Purposeful1> it's an eee 900
[07:53] <koshii> don't x64 processors support i386 though
[07:53] <unop> !chroot | koshii
[07:53] <samthetwohippman> oh...that's new enough for sure
[07:53] <Biovore> koshii: they do..
[07:53] <Purposeful1> yeah
[07:53] <monday> anyone????? is ubuntu 8.01 fully functional??
[07:53] <koshii> so, why can't I just install the 32bit version of firefox
[07:54] <Biovore> I am still using 8.04.1 here..
[07:54] <nonix4> koshii: given the low quality of firefox plugins in general, running them in a virtual machine is what I do :)
[07:54] <monday> er yea,8.04
[07:54] <samthetwohippman> google: error xgl: not present eee 900 ubuntu
[07:54] <monday> wine works for it ??? right?.
[07:54] <nonix4> (esp. flash)
[07:54] <Biovore> monday: yup it should
[07:54] <monday> i typed three sets of codes in the terminal,. but wine didn't load, any help??
[07:54] <Biovore> monday: 8.04.1 is a long term release.. will be supported for a few years while 8.10 will die in 6 months.
[07:54] <koshii> what's a good virtual machine? :s  I don't think I've ever used one
[07:54] <jim_p> koshii, the thing in isketch does not appear for me either. its a .dcr file, no plugin available for linux i guess
[07:55] <GodfatherofEire> n2diy Heres the problem, windoze like to have the whole drive to itself, or at least one without any spaces, and when there are, the install fails
[07:55] <koshii> is it something like wine?
[07:55] <jim_p> koshii, virtualbox
[07:55] <koshii> okay thanks
[07:55] <koshii> is it difficult to setup?
[07:55] <Biovore> koshii: vmware is one..  cost money
[07:55] <unop> koshii, a virtual machine just for firefox would be overkill.
[07:55] <Biovore> server edition is free.. but confussing to use..
[07:55] <n2diy> GodfatherofEire, fine business, install Win first, then Ubuntu.
[07:55] <koshii> gah
[07:55] <Biovore> you can run firefox in wine as well and just install the windows version..
[07:55] <jim_p> koshii, no if you go step by stem and read settings and the like
[07:56] <bullgard4> What do effect the lines CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK=m, CONFIG_NF_CT_NETLINK=m, CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK=y und CONFIG_QUOTA_NETLINK_INTERFACE=y in/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic/.config?
[07:57] <GodfatherofEire> n2diy, therein lies the problem, I'd have to allow win to use the whole HD, then I'd have to partition it manually, and then that'd reformat the ntfs partition
[07:57] <nonix4> Biovore: well, kinda... that'd still lack the isolation advantages though.
[07:57] <Biovore> bullgard4: netlinked userpace based interface..  I don't think you need it.. but I am not %100 sure..
[07:57] <Wicked> hmm whats up with the new xorg.conf? there barely anything in it
[07:57]  * nonix4 likes kvm, managed by virtual machine manager in hardy
[07:57] <Biovore> Wicked: Its magic :-P
[07:57] <koshii> So, there's no other solution?  Just virtualmachine, wine, or nothing?
[07:57] <Wicked> lol
[07:58] <jim_p> Biovore, 8.10 wont die in 6 months. every release has SECURITY updates for 1.5 years, while lts have for 3. every other update (eg for firefox) will either be backported or not installable at all
[07:58] <n2diy> GodfatherofEire, you don't have to reformat when you resize the partitions.
[07:58] <Wicked> well i need to tell xorg to load glx....where do that?
[07:58] <jason_> i'm having an issue with my wifi in my toshiba satellite a205 and was refered to this "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5693578" however when searching my wireless card i stumbled across this ssaying i should already be supported "http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi" PS: my card is the Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
[07:58] <kalvin_> can anyone tell me how i can use vmware that was installed with ubuntu?
[07:58] <GodfatherofEire> n2diy, I thought you did when dealing with ntfs?
[07:58] <samthetwohippman> Purposefull: which eeebuntu did you install? did you install NBR?
[07:58] <jim_p> Wicked, in xorg.conf
[07:58] <GodfatherofEire> Oh well, I'll be back later then I guess
[07:58] <Wicked> jim_p, but where?
[07:58] <Biovore> kalvin_: I think thats just a vmware player..
[07:58] <Wicked> there is barely anything in it...
[07:58] <ardchoille> jim_p: ah, htop is nice, thank you
[07:58] <bullgard4> Biovore: Thank you. I will ask again later because I would like to know that more precisely.
[07:58] <Wicked> and i cant run anything with opengl....
[07:58] <samthetwohippman> if so, then you need to install the compiz libraries
[07:59] <Wicked> i get this:
[07:59] <Wicked> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[07:59] <Wicked> Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
[07:59] <kalvin_> says player and workstattions
[07:59] <jim_p> Wicked, have a look at mine http://7g.pri.ee/mine.conf
[07:59] <GodfatherofEire> n2diy, thanks for pointing that out, I woulda been up all night cause I would've avoided the resizing bit
[07:59] <jim_p> ardchoille, well htop does not show bandwidth
[07:59] <n2diy> GodfatherofEire, well, I'm not sure, never did a dual boot system. But on my last install here, I had the option not to reformat my /home partition, ext3, which I did.
[07:59] <Wicked> yea... jim_p the new xorg.conf looks nothing like that....
[07:59] <Wicked> but thanks
[07:59] <nonix4> koshii: there is but I think the ia32-libs ff deb is outside ubuntu repos these days... or named something funny. Most likely because both culprits - flash & java - have 64-bit support, although not packaged in time for hardy
[07:59] <jim_p> Wicked, make one
[08:00] <cuonglb> hey guys

[08:01] <kalvin_> i hvae a version of vmware for ubuntu, but it fails to install, can anyone help?
[08:01] <n2diy> GodfatherofEire, The format option comes after you select the sizes, so it is an exercise in blind faith before you get to choose.
[08:01] <Juhaz> saler, first, turn off caps lock.
[08:01] <nonix4> koshii: which kind of a machine you on btw?
[08:01] <farion> What is a good alternative to the memory hogging Firefox?
[08:01] <Wicked> caps lock......are u ready to unleash the fury? ;-)
[08:01] <ardchoille> jim_p: no prob, I can do without bw
[08:01] <hugo33> kalvin_: What error do you get?
[08:01] <saler> anyone/anybody can help
[08:02] <kalvin_> one sec, ill tell you
[08:02] <n2diy> farion, Opera
[08:02] <nonix4> farion: actually it doesn't hog much mem if you disable all plugins & pics & use less than 1000 tabs at once ;-)
[08:02] <MiladKhajavi> how can I download list of video with youtube-dl program?. how can I say to terminal that when the first command finished, now execute the second command and so on?
[08:02] <hugo33> farion: Chrome?
[08:02] <samthetwohippman> farion: konkorur: that may be mispelled, but then you will have to be running kubuntu
[08:02] <cuonglb> kalvin_ You can describe the error of vmware ?
[08:03]  * nonix4 tends to do none of those, but it still works... kinda.
[08:03] <hugo33> kalvin_: If I suggested VirtualBox as an alternative, would you laugh? :) I've had good experiences w/ VirtualBox.
[08:03] <cuonglb> hugo33 you right :)
[08:04] <kalvin_> i just do sudo ./vmware-install.pl right?
[08:04] <samthetwohippman> Konqueror: is the correct spelling
[08:04] <MiladKhajavi> ANY on know: ﻿how can I download list of video with youtube-dl program?. how can I say to terminal that when the first command finished, now execute the second command and so on?
[08:04] <hot_wheelz> hi guys :-)
[08:04] <monday> can someone tell me the codes to load wine through a terminal for 8.04?
[08:04] <Wicked> monday, ....um "wine"
[08:04] <nonix4> kalvin_: that sounds awfully complicated compared to "sudo aptitude install kvm virt-manager" :)
[08:04] <monday> since i am also in the need of a flash player ...
[08:04] <hot_wheelz> how we all doing?
[08:05] <eseven73> Virtualbox is nice, the seamless mode is priceless.
[08:05] <monday> wine???
[08:05] <_ss> can anyone tell me why my firestarter's Blocked Connection is full of 57079 UDP connections...I'm worried...and after a few hours my internet connection just drops???
[08:05] <kalvin_> i shall try that
[08:05] <samthetwohippman> hugo33: chrome is probably a light browser. it is run by the same engine as safari
[08:05] <cuonglb> kavil_ Version of vmware you must install ?
[08:05] <hugo33> monday: /import duty-free ;)
[08:06] <monday> well between dl'ing 'wine' and trying to watch a movie or something, i have 579 new updates to dl but when i do, my pc crashes.... any help
[08:06] <cuonglb> Vmware server version 1.0.3 ?
[08:06] <hugo33> monday: Driver issue, perhaps?
[08:06] <kalvin_> VMware.Workstation.v6.0.3.80004.Linux.
[08:07] <monday> perhaps, but i dl'ed linux, and i can't hav a flash player/
[08:07] <hugo33> monday: Try upgrading/updating from a regular 80x25 console, not X.
[08:07] <jim_p> how can i disable ctrl+alt+del from bringing up that menu in gnome?
[08:07] <hugo33> monday: If X is crashing, it might be a video driver (or video configuration) issue. If the Linux kernel is crashing (if the upgrade from within an 80x25 console is crashing) then it might be the network card driver.
[08:08] <MiladKhajavi> ﻿how can I download list of video with youtube-dl program?. how can I say to terminal that when the first command finished, now execute the second command and so on?
[08:08] <hugo33> jim_p: I think it's in /etc/runlevel.* or something. You can disable ctrl-alt-del entirely.
[08:08] <ardchoille> jim_p: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Desktop section
[08:08] <saler> hi, i installed ubuntu server 8.4 on vmware with scsi drive ((10G))now i get new hard driveto my labtop ,and i don't wont to lose the vm scsi drive  ,so how to move the old scsi drive to new drive and can i extend the new drive,insteadof 10g be 40G
[08:08] <Wicked> !flash | monday
[08:09] <Wicked> !restricted | monday
[08:09] <shingen> !gparted saler
[08:09] <jim_p> thanks ardchoille
[08:09] <hugo33> !qt
[08:09] <Wicked> monday, as for the crashing. use aptitude from the command line
[08:09] <vader> MiladKhajavi: cmd1 && cmd2 && cmd3 etc. Don't know about Youtube program.
[08:09] <Biovore> saler: I think with VMware your screwed on the disk..
[08:09] <kalvin_> with this virtual machine manager, how do i just load a iso onto it?
[08:09] <koshii> Are there any web browsers for wine?
[08:09] <hugo33> koshii: Internet Explorer?
[08:09] <koshii> that have flash and stuff
[08:10] <monday> thnks for the responses .  ty ty.
[08:10] <Biovore> koshii: you can install firefox for windows into it..
[08:10] <saler> :)
[08:10] <koshii> IE doesn't seem to work :S
[08:10] <Wicked> np. now i have to reboot. brb
[08:10] <hugo33> koshii: That's ok. It doesn't work on Windows either.
[08:10] <koshii> so facetious
[08:11] <koshii> I click iexplorer.exe and just a blank white window comes up with a scrollbar :/
[08:11] <Biovore> yup.. IE6 I think is the only one I have gotten to work..
[08:11] <koshii> I can rightclick and get the dropdown IE has, but nothing works at all
[08:11] <Biovore> and that wasn't easy
[08:11] <koshii> >_<
[08:12] <nonix4> kalvin_: start it (applications->system tools->virtual machine manager) and then either create a _New_ virtual machine or attach it to an already existing one, the menus should be self-explaining :)
[08:13] <_ss> can anyone tell me why my firestarter's Blocked Connection is full of 57079 UDP connections...I'm worried...and after a few hours my internet connection just drops???
[08:13] <kalvin_> i have an iso file, i want to load that up, but theres no place to do it, just to connect to a server
[08:13] <_ss> sry for spam :(
[08:13] <joeb3_> _ss, bittorrent running?
[08:13] <_ss> nope
[08:13] <nonix4> kalvin_: iso w/ livecd?
[08:15] <kalvin_> nonix4: maybe im not doing the right thing, but i want to install windows xp on a virtual machine, i have the windows iso file and now i want to load it up
[08:15] <gaminggeek> Hello does anyone know of any good time tracking apps in linux that will output a time sheet?
[08:15] <willwill> apt-get update show me a long traceback on my virtual machine (created with vmbuilder kvm) note that my machine does not support kernel based virtual machine
[08:15] <nonix4> kalvin_: I mean is that iso an installer type of iso? If so, you need to decide where you will be installing it as well :)
[08:16] <rccu> gaminggeek: `time`
[08:16] <n2diy> gaminggeek, google for openoffice extras
[08:16] <gaminggeek> n2diy: I dont want to have to have open office open all the time
[08:16] <nonix4> kalvin_: 3rd button from right at the bottom of the window should be "new", which you can use to allocate disk space for it and so on
[08:16] <willwill> my python script to download packages works fine
[08:17] <kalvin_> new is shaded grey
[08:17] <n2diy> gaminggeek, roger that, don't blame you there, GL.
[08:17] <gaminggeek> :)
[08:17] <kalvin_> do i need a xen-kernel?
[08:18] <nonix4> kalvin_: not necessary - above should be a list of currently available VMs, you need to choose which one to use - doubleclick on one of the localhost entries
[08:19] <kalvin_> right..and it says verify that a xen host kernel is booted and xen services have been started
[08:19] <nonix4> kalvin_: are there other localhost entries as well?
[08:20] <bullgard4> What do effect the lines CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK=m, CONFIG_NF_CT_NETLINK=m, CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK=y und CONFIG_QUOTA_NETLINK_INTERFACE=y in/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic/.config?
[08:20] <kalvin_> the other one says libvirt-bin package and libvirtd daemon has been started
[08:20] <gaminggeek> rccu: have you got a link to "time" the only thing I can find is a console command that doesnt look like any help at all
[08:20] <kalvin_> verify that*
[08:20] <^arky^> ndiswrapper help needed once again atheros wireless card
[08:20] <nonix4> kalvin_: virt-manager can handle at least xen, kvm, qemu... not sure whether it is set up for vmware by default as well.
[08:21] <kalvin_> so its just a manager, it cant run the virtual machine?
[08:22] <Fiberchunks> hi all, problem: I press tab twice for autocomplete, and it kills the X server -- any ideas?
[08:23] <nonix4> kalvin_: ps auwx | grep libvirt # lists libvirtd now?
[08:24] <nonix4> kalvin_: that new button should be available at least on the one that said something about libvirtd...
[08:24] <kalvin_> k let me try
[08:26] <sfer23> Fiberchunks: do you mean autocomplete in the terminal? that only requires pressing tab once.
[08:26] <kalvin_> says: 11115  0.0  0.0   3236   804 pts/0    S+   03:26   0:00 grep libvirt
[08:26] <kalvin_> how do i put this libverd package on?
[08:28] <nonix4> kalvin_: well, been ages... but you can try the usual, "sudo /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin start" (possibly after aptitude install of it, if it wasn't already installed)
[08:29] <kalvin_> that doesnt work
[08:29] <A4Tech> hello
[08:30] <sfer23> !hello | A4Tech
[08:31] <A4Tech> who suggest that we need to install to get rid of errors
[08:31] <A4Tech> We encountered a bit of trouble trying to load plugin 'Encyclopedia'. Python told us 'ImportError: No module named sqlite'. We'll skip over it for now, you can always add it later.
[08:31] <nonix4> (or invoke-rc.d if inclined to do that, but don't ask old-timers about such new things;) - so... maybe it wasn't installed? sudo aptitude install libvirt-bin
[08:32] <n2diy> oldtimers?
[08:32] <A4Tech> I found a lot of packages associated with sqlite and python but the error is still there
[08:32] <nonix4> n2diy: think it didn't exist back in '94.
[08:33] <n2diy> nonix4, oh, the BSD and Unix gang?
[08:33] <Alex_21> Hi, I needa web front-end for managing BIND. Does one exist?
[08:33] <damo22> what is the linux equivalent of defrag?
[08:33] <Mageiriki-me-bas> hello
[08:33] <xavieran> damo22, none needed
[08:34] <nonix4> n2diy: no I mean whatever I say should be taken w/ grain of salt, dated back to '94 when I was learning to use Linux instead of the not-so-posixy-*nix-wannabe-ones :)
[08:34] <Mageiriki-me-bas> where can i find free medical software for linux?
[08:34] <damo22> xavieran: how come?
[08:34] <xavieran> damo22 we manage our filesystem so well that no defragmentation is needed
[08:34] <eseven73> one of the perks of linux damo22 :)
[08:34] <kalvin_> nonix4: thanks a lot i got it
[08:34] <damo22> thats pretty cool
[08:34] <eseven73> no viruses either
[08:34] <nonix4> kalvin_: cool :)
[08:34] <xavieran> This is why ext3 performs best with around 80% free space, also
[08:35] <damo22> mine is 70% full
[08:35] <n2diy> nonix4, ok, roger that. I suppose that makes you an OM! :)
[08:36] <damo22> i just bought an external usb hdd, im dumping all my stuff onto it to free up my system drive
[08:36] <Mageiriki-me-bas> Is there any free linux program for holding a medical database?
[08:36] <Alex_21> Sirs and misses, where can I find front ends for the web over top of applications?
[08:37] <Alex_21> Depends. There used to be a forum called Linux for Clinics on the Ubuntu Forums, maybe there you can dagnose the situation :)
[08:38] <dns53> Mageiriki-me-bas there are a few projects around the place
[08:38] <willwill> Mageiriki-me-bas, maybe hospital-os
[08:38] <Alex_21> Sirs and misses, where can I find front ends for the web over top of applications? Like BIND 9 and the like
[08:38] <Mageiriki-me-bas> dns53, willwill, i 've done some googling but i'm too lame, so i would really appreciate it if you found me one-two programms like these.
[08:39] <Alex_21> Mysql, maybe
[08:39] <willwill> Mageiriki-me-bas, http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=144544
[08:39] <eseven73> Mageiriki-me-bas: have you searched synaptic for "Medical"?
[08:39] <willwill> the hospital-os's homepage is in thai
[08:40] <dns53> Mageiriki-me-bas i have heard about http://www.oemr.org/ but it's not relvent to me so you probably need to research it on your own
[08:40] <n2diy> Mageiriki-me-bas, only you can determine your needs.
[08:40] <worldcitizen> How can I download via terminal from a website?
[08:40] <dns53> wget url
[08:40] <nonix4> Alex_21: ebox
[08:40] <Alex_21> Use WGET
[08:40] <Mageiriki-me-bas> thank you all :)
[08:41] <Alex_21> EBox won't do BIND, will it?
[08:41] <_ss> can anyone paste a xorg.conf file...mine seems a little poor in configuration options and I want to compare with yours :)
[08:41] <dangit> does anyone know a good way to view webdav directories? nautilus has problem with spaces, davfs keeps popping errors...so is there another way?
[08:42] <^arky^> ndiswrapper help needed once again for configuring atheros wireless card
[08:42] <n2diy> dangit, use the terminal?
[08:43] <dns53> dangit does firefox work?
[08:43] <_ss> anyone???...comon...should be a quick thing....please :)
[08:43] <nonix4> Alex_21: apt-cache show ebox-dns
[08:43] <dangit> dns53, firefox doesn't have a (good) plugin for webdav
[08:44] <dangit> n2diy, how?
[08:45] <nonix4> Alex_21: also, "apt-cache rdepends bind9"
[08:45] <n2diy> dangit, using the list, and  change directory commands.
[08:45] <dns53> dangit i thaught dav was a http extention so you should be able to view it if you cannot write to it
[08:45] <dangit> n2diy, uh...but that implies that it would be mounted with say...davfs...which isn't working?
[08:45] <plugaz> hello
[08:45] <plugaz> room
[08:45] <joeb3_> _ss, http://paste.ubuntu.com/95763/   xorg.conf
[08:46] <plugaz> im trying to use qemu in ubuntu so I can run other distros
[08:46] <dangit> dns53, i can view it as a normal webpage, but i'd rather not manually download each and every document (there's a crapload)
[08:46] <n2diy> dangit, that implies devfs isn't working, no?
[08:46] <dns53> dangit how about getting wget to scrape it for you?
[08:47] <n2diy> dangit, does ls work?
[08:47] <rccu> _ss: http://paste.ubuntu.com/95766/ ;D
[08:47] <Natalie>  hi there guys..I have a this router ( http://www.edimax.com/en/produce_detail.php?pd_id=11&pl1_id=1&pl2_id=2 ) but is running so slow (very very slow) when I'm on wireless
[08:47] <Natalie> do you have any tips for me?
[08:48] <dangit> n2diy, ls of what? it isn't mounted in any way atm cause davfs isn't working properly
[08:48] <xavieran> Natalie, what wireless card are you running, it could be something to do with that
[08:49] <dns53> Natalie get a better areal, if you can focus it to where you are going to use it you may get better results
[08:49] <xavieran> Natalie, also, how far away from the router are you? I find that when I am quite far away from my wireless router, the performance deteriorates by a _large_ factor.
[08:49] <Kartagis> what are the odds of my OS not working if i get another mainboard?
[08:49] <Natalie> I have a Acer TravelMate laptop with a 802.11a/b/g/Draft-N
[08:50] <Natalie> I'm at 1meter distance by my router
[08:50] <xavieran> Natalie, that's pretty weird.
[08:50] <n2diy> Kartagis, high
[08:51] <dns53> Kartagis quite low
[08:51] <Natalie> do you know a channel where I can get the answer to my problem. I;m quite new into irc world
[08:51] <n2diy> Kartagis, prepare for the worst, and hope for the best! :)
[08:52] <mindrape> Natalie - we can troubleshoot it if you'd like.  sudo iwlist wlan0 scan          What does the Quality say for the AP you are connected to?  Are you using strong encryption on the device which could slow it down?  Can you traceroute to someplace and determine which hop is slowing you up?
[08:53] <mindrape> Natalie: can you login to the router and determine if there is any useful info in the log that might determine what is happening?
[08:53] <mindrape> Natalie: can you dmesg and see if any error messages are constantly being written relevant to your wireless device?
[08:53] <Natalie> there are some logs
[08:53] <Natalie> 2 seconds
[08:53] <rccu> joeb3_: how are your fonts handled in xorg if you do not have any FontPaths in "Files"?
[08:53] <Natalie> now I;m on windows
[08:53] <Natalie> I was hopping to get better result
[08:53] <Natalie> but it's the same thing
[08:54] <mindrape> Natalie - is it always this slow or just tonight?
[08:54] <joeb3_> rccu, no idea.  I clicked a few buttons when I installed and it works.
[08:54] <mindrape> Natalie: is it possible that your ISP is having some outages of sorts that are impacting performance or otherwise causing network degradation?
[08:55] <willwill> apt-get update show me a long traceback on my virtual machine (created with vmbuilder kvm) note that my machine does not support kernel based virtual machine
[08:56] <Natalie> mindrape: this can be a possibility...lont time before, in the past were some MAC rules...now I connect throught PPPoE
[08:56] <orkun> is this chan for support only or are conversations about different distros encouraged?
[08:56] <xavieran> orkun, support only
[08:56] <ardchoille> !ot | orkun
[08:56] <n2diy> orkun, ubuntu-offtopic is the place for that.
[08:57] <xavieran> CHeck out #ubuntu-programming for some good discussions
[08:57] <orkun> ty!(hope the last can count as one stupid support question :>)
[08:58] <Alex_21> Hi, All, I tried EBox and Googled around, but I can't find a good BIND9 web interface. Do any exist?
[08:58] <A4Tech> help please -> http://paste.org.ru/?pap2g0
[08:59] <mindrape> Alex_21: none that I know of... webmin possibly but it's not "good"
[08:59] <pikario> !vmware > pikario
[08:59] <joeb3_> Alex_21, webmin has a bind module.
[08:59] <amerinese> hi, real dumb question from someone that just installs pkgs, doesn't do any app dev on ubuntu--what should i set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to?  i am trying to configure a dl'd package that is looking for the scim package using pkg-config and scim is installed through synaptic but no info is found on it?
[08:59] <aprilhare> #ubuntu-unofficial
[08:59] <aprilhare> !vmware > aprilhare
[09:00] <Alex_21> WEBmin, I thought wasn't supported anymore
[09:00] <joeb3_> Alex_21, still works...
[09:00] <ardchoille> !webmin
[09:00] <mbdl> need help i tryed ubuntu 8.04 on my mac and after update my keyboard and mouse didnt work now iv reinstalled with the 8.10 will i have the same issue after reboot
[09:00] <n2diy> amerinese, re-install the packages with synaptic, it will find, and solve the issues for you.
[09:01] <mbdl> my laptop is macbook pro 4.1
[09:01] <damo22> can someone help, im trying to install xmms-flac... http://pastebin.com/d82c75aa
[09:02] <amerinese> n2diy: do you mean reinstall pkg-config or... ?
[09:02] <Alex_21> Ok, you say this, but others say that it may causeed issues. Doesss Ebox need a bindd extention, or iis theeeeeeere a bind9 module built-in
[09:02] <ardchoille> damo22: xmms isn't any the repos for Interpid anymore
[09:03] <mindrape> damo22 - sudo apt-cache search xmms flac
[09:03] <n2diy> amerinese, what ever you installed without synaptic, re-install with synaptic.
[09:03] <mbdl> does anyone know how the macbook works? or has tried ubuntu on it
[09:03] <Alex_21> I have it on My Macbook with Virtualbox and it works fine
[09:03] <damo22> ardchoille: when i install the package manually with dpkg, i have to --force-depends, but then it breaks apt when i try to install something else, it asks to remove xmms-flac
[09:03] <amerinese> n2diy: but the reason i am manually configure make make install is bc the version available through synaptic is buggy
[09:04] <mindrape> sudo apt-get remove xmms-flac
[09:04] <savvas> mbdl: you can always try the ubuntu live cd with it, see if it works without even installing it on hard drive
[09:04] <mindrape> or just autoremove
[09:04] <damo22> is there a way to force apt to accept the "broken" package... because it works
[09:04] <mindrape> --force
[09:04] <n2diy> amerinese, so your installing from source, and have dependency problems?
[09:04] <savvas> damo22: which package? third-party?
[09:04] <ardchoille> damo22: it's not a good idea to "force" anything unless you're pretty much of an expert, I've never seen any reason to force anything in Ubuntu, xmms is no longer in the repos and forcing it will likely break something
[09:04] <mbdl> it does im using ubuntu now... on it but my issue was when i did updates with the last version out 8.04 i did updates and the keyboard failed as did the mouse
[09:05] <damo22> savvas: im using hardy, i want xmms-flac
[09:05] <apparle> ATI has given suppor t for ubuntu 8.10 in their latest dirver. So from where should we install repos or the driver
[09:05] <savvas> damo22: you might be missing some important packages that are required from that application, if you force it to be installed, you might face problems with other packages
[09:05] <damo22> savvas: but when i force it, it works
[09:05] <amerinese> yeah it can't find scim, which it says it's looking for using pkg-config, but it's installed and it suggested setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH but i can't find what i'm supposed to set it to
[09:06] <mbdl> savvas: it does im using ubuntu now... on it but my issue was when i did updates with the last version out 8.04 i did updates and the keyboard failed as did the mouse, was wondering if that will happen again in 8.10
[09:06] <amerinese> last msg at n2diy
[09:06] <savvas> damo22: do you mean xmms2-plugin-flac ?
[09:06] <damo22> savvas: it wants xmms > some value, but i already compiled it from source.... so
[09:06] <damo22> savvas: not xmms2, xmms
[09:07] <ardchoille> damo22: have you tried audacious? it's like xmms and it's in the repos
[09:07] <mbdl> savvas: iv looked on google and there is an issue i can tell but nothing iv looked up has answers if the new ubuntu will work
[09:07] <savvas> damo22: is there a specific reason you prefer the older xmms?
[09:07] <mbdl> it hast to do with the wrapper on the broadcom drivers
[09:07] <damo22> savvas: never tried xmms2
[09:08] <savvas> damo22: doesn't hurt to try it :) usually newer versions have better support over audio

[09:08] <ardchoille> damo22: have you tried audacious? it's like xmms and it's in the repos
[09:09] <damo22> ardchoille: i'll give it a go
[09:09] <ardchoille> damo22: audacious can even use your xmms skins
[09:09] <mbdl> SAVVAS:  well ill install the updates if they cause issues then ill haft to use a different linux build and see
[09:09] <damo22> ardchoille: oh cool! i love my skin
[09:09] <savvas> mbdl: I have no idea, sorry, perhaps you should visit the ubuntuforums.org and ask for help from the macintosh users :)
[09:10] <mindrape> damo22: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/index.en.html#contents       That has all the info you want on running various versions of software, ignoring/forcing dependencies/conflicts/etc
[09:10] <mbdl> savvas: ok well i have looked i guess ill ask around a little more thx anyways its nice to know u tried to help

[09:12] <Awsoonn> when I use ifconfig I want to give each interface a nickname, 'private'; 'public'; 'backup'; etc is this possible? this woudl be just so other admins can quickly inspect the machine and not need to find documentation on it.

[09:15] <Flannel> cune: English
[09:16] <hugo33> Although I've installed PyQt via apt-get, I can't "import qt" under Python 2.5; perhaps I've missed a dependency. I can import PyQt4 just fine but not qt itself. So, QDialog is unavailable, for instance. Google reveals no common "import qt" problems, which suggests either most people install qt+pyqt from source or that I'm doing something uncommonly wrong. Any thoughts?
[09:17] <Awsoonn> mindrape: I think I was looking for something that would be in interfaces, it feels right
[09:17] <mindrape> Awsoonn: what is it you are trying to confirm?
[09:17] <mindrape> you just wanna know if it has an IP, is pingable, etc?

[09:42] <gvsa123> how can i share my thunderbird profile between my xp and ubuntu (wubi). i was advised to copy the profile folder from xp to the directory in ubuntu, but some things got messed up... the emails and contacts were there... but add ons like lightning doesn't work. i also use webmail extension to access my hotmail account, and discovered i am having problems with this too... is there a better way to share the same profile between xp and linux?
 - is it inhouse repository ?
[09:43] <xnixan> Nilesh, yup!
[09:44] <GibbaTheHutt> gvsa123, not sure, I always just copy profiles and works fine for me (sometimes have to change permissions)
[09:46] <dns53> gvsa123 have a look for profile sharing extensions, there are a few to sync things like bookmarks
[09:47] <mbdl> savvas: ok well i did the updates and they worked yay...
[09:48] <mbdl> savvas: well nother question... how do u set the number of workspaces in the new version... i havent played with ubuntu since the 7 release
[09:48] <gvsa123> ok there's one problem solved. i was using the default setting for webmail extension and ubuntu was blocking the ports. had to change them to something higher than 1024. i can choose ports at random right?
[09:48] <mindrape> any free port
[09:49] <mindrape> sudo netstat -tulp to make sure you aren't using an already assigned one.
[09:50] <mbdl> how do u set the number of workspaces in the new version... i havent played with ubuntu since the 7 release
[09:50] <screamsayonara> right click ;p
[09:50] <johnnbstroud> :(|)
[09:50] <gvsa123> mindrape: assigned one meaning some other application is set to use that port? only one application can use a port at anytime?
[09:51] <mindrape> gvsa123: yessir
[09:51] <savvas> mbdl: you right-click on the workspace at the gnome panel
[09:51] <savvas> mbdl: and go to preferences
[09:52] <stmartin> hello! why emesene doesn't store my chat logs?
[09:52] <gvsa123> mindrape: i don't understand what the output means... how do i know if i used something that is already being used? i set 1024 to be pop and 1025 for smtp
[09:52] <mbdl> savvas: thats what i did and chagned those settings well nothing happens i have 4 workspaces selected
[09:52] <Finnish> Can someone help me with dvdauthor.xml-file? I made a DVD-film in Kino, and I only selected "Author"-option in the end. Now I'd like to make that resulted mpeg-film into a DVD. The xml-file is here: http://pastebin.com/m522decb8
[09:53] <savvas> mbdl: you upgraded from hardy to intrepid, or did you do a clean install of intrepid?
[09:53] <mathijs> Hi all, I'm looking for a way to sync most of my homedir between pcs. For most .files (config) I use git, firefox uses weave, kde stuff (mail rss agenda) I hope to get done once 4.2 comes out with akonadi fully functional. So I'm looking to sync just normal documents.
[09:53]  * stmartin : could someone possibly tell me why emesene doesn't store chat logs? Thanks.
[09:53] <mbdl> clean install
[09:53] <mathijs> I'm using rsync at the moment (since not all pcs are online all the time) 3 ways (its 3 pcs), set to just update, not delete. That way when I save something on 1 place, the other places get it overnight. problem is... I can't delete anything anymore, unless I delete it on 3 pcs at once
[09:53] <theunixgeek> !repeat | stmartin
[09:53] <Finnish> How do I use that xml-file in a program? In what program? etc...?
[09:53] <theunixgeek> Finnish: what XML file?
[09:54] <savvas> mbdl: weird, I have three workspaces.. did you reboot after applying the updates? :)
[09:54] <mbdl> wait ill be right back im going to reboot my system.. see if that helps
[09:54] <Ohkie> hi. the audio on my install just stopped working. I've tested it in my dual boot windows and it still works so it doesnt seem to be a hardware problem. anyone know how i can attempt to resolve this?
[09:54] <Finnish> theunixgeek: dvdauthor.xml
[09:54] <theunixgeek> Finnish: what's that for?
[09:54] <theunixgeek> Finnish: here's something explaining its use: http://nfs.shawnfumo.com/wiki/DVDAuthor/XML
[09:55] <Finnish> It came with Kino, when I rendered a dv-film into DVD-format.
[09:55] <theunixgeek> rather, its structure
[09:55] <theunixgeek> Finnish: oh, sorry, I've never worked with Kino
[09:55] <savvas> Finnish: you mean kino didn't transcode it to dvd?
[09:55] <w00w> i m looking for a server chere i can ask in french
[09:55] <w00w> my question more easy
[09:55] <w00w> ^^
[09:56] <savvas> w00w: #ubuntu-fr
[09:56] <Finnish> savvas: After render it gave me a mpeg-file and that xml-file
[09:56] <w00w> anyway one of my neighborood is using my network i want to stop it and to see exactly who he is
[09:57] <mbdl> savvas: ok back... so it worked sry for the stupid question... i was trying to do everything at once to save reboots but i guess one of the updates was on gnome or something
[09:57] <savvas> mbdl: good :)
[09:58] <Mageiriki-me-bas> i donloaded a .zip file with an application and i want to install it on ubuntu 8.10. can anyone tell me how to do this?
 - if its inhouse repository you can go ahead. but make sure you have server packages copied to respective ubuntu-desktop repository.
[09:58] <Ohkie> for some reason the alsa sound on my ubuntu install has stopped working? when i go to system -> preferences -> sound and click one of the test buttons all i get is loud crackling. if i change the device for a specific playback, i hear audio when i click the test button, but not in any other applications. I've tried restarting the alsa server, and it did not help. I've tested audio in windows which i dual boot and it works. can anyone help me
[09:58] <savvas> Finnish: I think there's an option to burn/make a dvd in kino, can't actually remember right now.. :\
[09:58] <forensicwannabe> wOOW: sniff his packets: get backtrack3 and learn how to use Ethereal
[09:58] <screamsayonara> is it a fact that in nicotine, you have to actually go into chatrooms or you don't get hits on your searches?
[09:58] <savvas> Finnish: did kino cut the scenes you wanted in that mpeg it created?
[09:59] <kandjar> is there anyone who know how to fix a blutooth issue with the latest version of ubuntu?

[10:01] <gvsa123> ah there you go... i had to sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 apparently...
[10:02] <Finnish> savvas: Yeah, the mpeg-file is just the way I wanted
[10:02] <forensicwannabe> Ohkie: I havn't dealt with that issue, but I know that if it happened to my computer, I could google the problem and find it.
[10:03] <savvas> Finnish: try burning it using k3b or something like that
[10:03] <forensicwannabe> as a matter of fact, I fix many problems for people who don't google hard enough on this chat site for problems on their computers which i've never seen
[10:03] <zap> NCommander, I noticed you being notified on the Frozen Bubbles backport request (310340). Is there anything I can do to make progress?
[10:03] <gvsa123> one more thing... how do i link my profile folder under the windows directory to the directory used by thunderbird in ubuntu?
[10:04] <forensicwannabe> just ask google the question: if you don't get the answer you want find another way to ask the question
[10:05] <onx> forensicwannabe, sometimes it's just that though: someone else finding better search terms
[10:05] <forensicwannabe> Ohkie: I have a question. I know it seems obvious. but you said the sound stopped working. did it work perfectly before it stopped?
[10:06] <forensicwannabe> yeah, but I'
[10:06] <forensicwannabe> yeah, but I'm just trying to encourage him to get creative with his searches
[10:07] <onx> agreed, that helps ;)
[10:08] <forensicwannabe> Ohkie: wake up....look at mjy question
[10:09] <enigma_> hi, I have resolution set to 1024*768, so WHY on each reboot Ubuntu change resolution to higher ?
[10:09] <theunixgeek> How do I get to the LaTeX preamble in LyX?
[10:09] <balachmar> Hi, I am trying to use my android dev phone and it a manual says that I should add a udev rule, however it still doesn't seem to be working what is the right name for the usb subsystem or how can I find the right name?
[10:11] <zhaozhou> balachmar, Are you sure you are changing the name of the whole usb subsystem? that seems very unlikely, but then i'm no expert in udev.
[10:12] <balachmar> zhaizhou: http://code.google.com/android/intro/develop-and-debug.html#developingondevicehardware This is what I am doing
[10:12] <GibbaTheHutt> enigma_, check also things like monitor thats set
[10:13] <enigma_> Ubuntu don't recognize monitor
[10:13] <DefamedPrawn> can anybody help me in this chan? Firefox won't start.
[10:14] <GibbaTheHutt> DefamedPrawn, try running it from a console and see if any error
[10:14] <knut_> hey someone into compiz preferences?
[10:15] <dns53> balachmar it is different hardware but have a look at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking
[10:15] <DefamedPrawn> GibbaTheHutt nope. No error. Nothing.
[10:15] <GibbaTheHutt> ps -ef | grep fox doesn't show any existing instance running ?
[10:16] <DefamedPrawn> GibbaTheHutt yes, the process exists ... it's just not doing anything.
[10:16] <GibbaTheHutt> how long has it been running ?
[10:16] <GibbaTheHutt> (from ps)
[10:16] <forensicwannabe> DefamedPrawn: man ps, and see what ps is...you'll learn something
[10:16] <knut_> when i compare the smoothness of the osx animations to compiz, it seems that compiz doesnt have enough frames per second.. is there a way to raise the framerate in compiz?
[10:17] <balachmar> dns53: Thanks for the tip, but actually this doesn't need any networking
[10:17] <DefamedPrawn> forensicwannabe I know roughly what ps is ... and there is an instance of firefox there, according to ps -ef |grep fox
[10:17] <jim_p> does anyone know good zenity usage? i want to broadcast a message like "Dude turn off the bluetooth" using zenity though ssh
[10:18] <jim_p> with an OK button under it :P
[10:18] <dexi> ahhh new ubuntu install :)
[10:18] <dns53> balachmar you sure? i thaught that is how it did the debugging
[10:18] <dexi> isnt there some alltools thing i need to get guys?
[10:18] <GibbaTheHutt> DefamedPrawn, if its an old instance, you could try killing it and restarting it
[10:18] <forensicwannabe> Defamed: does it tell you how long it has been running?
[10:19] <GibbaTheHutt> or maybe run strace on it and see what its up to, may give some clues
[10:19] <DefamedPrawn> GibbaTheHutt ok done that. Have now restarted firefox from the console and am waiting for something to happen..
[10:19] <forensicwannabe> Defamed: anyways, kill that son of a biscuiteater, and then try to restart
[10:20] <forensicwannabe> kill it first
[10:20] <DefamedPrawn> forensicwannabe I did kill it .. then restarted it from the console.
[10:20] <hateball> knut_: If you're sure it's a compizspecific issue, try ##compiz-fusion
[10:21]  * DefamedPrawn is still waiting
[10:21] <knut_> hateball: ty
[10:21] <balachmar> dns53: It only says somthing about creating a udev rule, with the usb subsystem networking is never mentioned
[10:21] <forensicwannabe> Defamed: after you killed it in console, did you ps if | grep fox    ?
[10:21]  * DefamedPrawn does a ps -ef |grep firefox and sees there is a firefox process running, even though it's not giving any data at all.
[10:21] <forensicwannabe> correction ef | grep fox
[10:22] <forensicwannabe> because, if you killed it, and then it is still running, then you didn
[10:22] <forensicwannabe> 't really kill it
[10:22] <ePax0s> I'm getting this error while trying to install network printer from HP... when running sudo hp-setup... Anyone knows what this error can be? error: Unable to send broadcast SLP packet: (1, 'Operation not permitted')
[10:22] <DefamedPrawn> forensicwannabe no, I'll try that now.
[10:23] <DefamedPrawn> forensicwannabe just killed firefox, it is dead. I see no processes running in ps -ef |grep fox
[10:23] <DefamedPrawn> forensicwannabe shall I restart firefox from the console now?
[10:23] <dns53> balachmar well the g1 either uses serial or usb networking and i know it has usb networking avalable so i'm not sure if it toggles between the two while debugging
[10:24] <DefamedPrawn> forensicwannabe shall I restart firefox from the console now?
[10:25] <forensicwannabe> yeah good
[10:25] <DefamedPrawn> forensicwannabe yep. Restarted. Am now waiting for something to happen.
[10:26] <DefamedPrawn> forensicwannabe again, nothing happening.
[10:26] <sybux> how can I see what is compiled in my kernel ? for exemple is IPv6 enable or not ?
[10:26]  * DefamedPrawn kills firefox again
[10:27] <forensicwannabe> have you uninstalled any programs or packages lagtely
[10:27] <dns53> sybux your /boot has config files
[10:28]  * DefamedPrawn tries firefox -safe-mode
[10:28] <sybux> dns53: oh sure, I forget those one !!
[10:28] <DefamedPrawn> something happens
[10:28] <dns53> sybux you can also extract it from proc i think
[10:28] <amerinese_> hey i just want to report what i think is a bug, but i'm not sure and i don't really do development, can i tell someone here?  it has to do with the xulrunner package
[10:28] <forensicwannabe> something happens????  yeah.....something happens every day.... you are right Defamed!!!!
[10:29] <Awsoonn> How can I give an interface a nickname/label ex 'Public' and have it show in ifconfig?
[10:29] <dns53> amerinese_ have you reported it to launchpad? give lots of details, i used version, to do action and result happened
[10:30] <unop> Awsoonn, ifrename
[10:30] <forensicwannabe> thedoctor can
[10:30] <amerinese_> dns53: i guess i'm not really familiar with that
[10:31]  * DefamedPrawn tries firefox -safe-mode, disables all add-ons, and then finds that firefox works when he restarts it.
[10:31] <forensicwannabe> thedoctor can't stay up for more than one minute
[10:31] <hateball> Awsoonn: Not sure about a nickname/alias, but you could always rename the interface altogether
[10:31] <forensicwannabe> okay, so one of your addons is the problem
[10:31] <forensicwannabe> cool
[10:32] <sybux> I've got some problem with my IntelSpeed step ? My laptop (poor pentium M) is always running @600Mhz even if i change in the gnome applet to 1Ghz
[10:33] <aldin> sybux, sudo invoke powernowd stop
[10:33] <dns53> amerinese_ https://launchpad.net/ is the bug tracking system used for ubuntu, try and find the application name and see if anyone has submitted a bug report for it, if it's a new issue include as much info as you can so it is easier to track down the bug
[10:33] <DefamedPrawn> ok that's interesting. Firefox jams completely, whenever I try and view my downloads.
[10:33] <natnayr89> hi there ppl, how do i get my hp mini 1000 to work with the 3g sim card
[10:34] <Awsoonn> hateball: I wish to avoid renaming the device altogether
[10:34] <aldin> sybux, sudo invoke-rc.d powernowd stop (pardon, forgot '-rc.d')
[10:34] <forensicwannabe> Defamed: do you have bookmarks?\
[10:34] <DefamedPrawn> forensicwannabe yes I think so.
[10:34] <ePax0s> I'm getting this error while trying to install network printer from HP... when running sudo hp-setup... Anyone knows what this error can be? error: Unable to send broadcast SLP packet: (1, 'Operation not permitted')
[10:34] <sybux> aldin: it's stop
[10:35] <jokkaa> What does  "Transport endpoint is not connected " mean? im trying to get my Zen working...
[10:35] <hateball> Awsoonn: Are you using networkmanager, or just regular /etc/network/interfaces ?
[10:35] <DefamedPrawn> forensicwannabe yes all my bookmarks are there.
[10:35] <aldin> sybux, perhaps to rmmod modulename - e.g powernow-k8 (for AMD) dont know for intel what is
[10:36] <forensicwannabe> Defamed: Then I would save them....backup.... uninstall firefox --remove   remove it completely.....ther is a webpage that tells you how to remove it completely, and then reinstall
[10:36] <sybux> aldin: for being sure, I've recomipled my kernel for Intel Pentium M and activate Intel Speed Step
[10:36] <forensicwannabe> your other option is to remove addons one at a time, and see which one fixes the problem
[10:36] <DefamedPrawn> forensicwannabe so lose all my addons, search engines, etc?
[10:36] <sybux> aldin: it as works for about 10 minutes and now it can't change anymore
[10:37] <forensicwannabe> You could probably figure out the problem, but it will take a long time
[10:37] <Awsoonn> hateball: interfaces, it si a headless machine
[10:37] <forensicwannabe> it's up to you
[10:37] <aldin> sybux, do you want or dont you want to have frequency scaling, i mean do you want it to always work on 100%
[10:38] <forensicwannabe> go to addon manager and bookmark all the addons in your current firefox....before you back them up, so you can reinstall after removing firefox
[10:38] <sybux> aldin: I want to scale but it never change. For exemple now I'm doing some compilation and my CPU is at 100% but only at 600Mhz
[10:38] <hateball> Awsoonn: couldnt you just 'cat /etc/network/interfaces' ?
[10:39] <aldin> sybux, hmm dont know
[10:39] <hateball> Awsoonn: and put comments in there
[10:39] <Shanoes> ePaxOs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=573556
[10:39] <sybux> aldin: and how to disable it ? I can run a shell when compiling for exemple
[10:40] <forensicwannabe> Defamed: one of your addons may be conflicting with another. I would google: firefox addon conflict.....or something like that\
[10:40] <|HSOt|SadiQ> I'm gettin about 3 blocked packages/sec in firestarter's blocked connection on port 64339...should I worry about it???...seems like a flood :(
[10:40] <aldin> sybux, try to find name of that intel speed step module
[10:40] <aigarius> sybux: try looking at files in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
[10:40] <orangey> hey all!
[10:41] <orangey> I've been trying to find a way to unload services when suspending (to be reloaded when resuming)
[10:41] <orangey> but I can't figure it out since the change to the new power management system
[10:41] <sybux> aigarius: ok and what should I found there ?
[10:42] <orangey> it used to be that I could use /etc/default/acpi-support
[10:42] <orangey> but even that file now states that it is deprecated..
[10:42] <aigarius> sybux: the best way usually is to use the ondemand governor by writing 'ondemand' to scaling_governor there
[10:43] <Awsoonn> hateball: redhat had a way to do it, so I thought it was universal. I am indeed just puttign comments in the interfaces file now
[10:43] <DefamedPrawn> forensicwannabe can you use my full nick when addressing me? That way the x-chat icon in the system tray flashes to let me know.
[10:43] <balachmar> dns53: I've got it working now at least as root (which is good enough for me now)
[10:43] <alaza1> best linux/compiz supported dual-scrren graphics card? suggestions anybody?
[10:43] <balachmar> dns53: Basically everything was fine, just needed to run the command (the server and the normal command as root)
[10:44] <sybux> aigarius: this is the case but my CPU speed never change even when my CPU is at 100% of use
[10:44] <SJrX> Question, anyone know how to jump in XMOTO?
[10:44] <forensicwannabe> DefamedPrawn: yeah sure... no prob, but I have to go anyways. good luck with your prob. sounds like you got it licked.
[10:44] <|HSOt|SadiQ> hmm...firestarter's eating 80% of my cpu now :((
[10:44] <|HSOt|SadiQ> any help???
[10:45] <Seveas> SJr, drive up a hill very fast. At the top of the hill you jump :)
[10:45] <orkun> hey there: with 2.6.27-11 ubuntu switched back from r8187 to rtl8187 wireless lan module(which FINALLY works again) - why was the first change made anyway(rendering my installation useless for 3 months), who decides this stuff and where can i read about those changes/participate in deciding these things. my main concern is: will it stay like this? can i trust my installation not to be broken via upgrade again?
[10:45] <dns53> balachmar good to hear, i haven't played around with andriod yet on my openmoko
[10:45] <aigarius> sybux: then what is most likely is that you do not have the correct driver loaded for the scaling to work, you can see the driver currently in use in the scaling_driver file
[10:45] <SJrX> Hmmmm no
[10:46] <sybux> aigarius: It's "acpi-cpufreq"
[10:46] <orangey> What has replaced /etc/default/acpi-support for UNLOADING services?
[10:46] <alaza1> ﻿best linux/compiz supported dual-screen graphics card?
[10:46] <balachmar> dns53: I have the android dev phone and I like it. I wanted a phone with hardware keyboard and 3G That why I didn't opt for the openmoko, and the fact that the openmoko is still a bit dodgy as a phone
[10:46] <forensicwannabe> |HSOt|SadiQ;  sounds like you're getting a DOS attack, but that's probably not it....maybe some bug.... you should renice your firestarter
[10:46] <DefamedPrawn> |HSOt|SadiQ yeah it does that sometimes ... especially if you have bittorrent running.
[10:47] <balachmar> dns53: Although I really like that the devphone is hardware unlocked as well, so in theory I could run openmoko on this as well.
[10:47] <|HSOt|SadiQ> I've just restarted my pc
[10:47] <DefamedPrawn> |HSOt|SadiQ you don't need firestarter running ... your firewall is up anyway, be default.
[10:47] <|HSOt|SadiQ> and it seems they're probing the same port from a lot of different Ip ranges
[10:48] <|HSOt|SadiQ> well...my connection was gettin knocked about 2 times a day so I installed firestarter to check
[10:48] <forensicwannabe> sounds like a DOS attack???\
[10:48] <live> videnciq
[10:48] <|HSOt|SadiQ> for waaaay to many different Ipo's???
[10:48] <|HSOt|SadiQ> ip's
[10:48] <forensicwannabe> sounds like a DOS attack
[10:48] <forensicwannabe> why would anyone attack your IP
[10:49] <|HSOt|SadiQ> donno
[10:49] <aigarius> sybux: you can try telling the driver to switch frequencies directly by using the "userspace" scaling governor and writing a freqency to the scaling_setspeed file
[10:49] <forensicwannabe> it's a mistake
[10:49] <damo22> anyone know of a dvd player that plays divx, and also has volume control on the analogue outputs?  i googled it for a while and came up blank...
[10:49] <|HSOt|SadiQ> I've got a clean ubuntu install
[10:49] <DefamedPrawn> |HSOt|SadiQ have you had Azureus or Vuze, or any bittorrent client up?
[10:49] <|HSOt|SadiQ> yes...3 days ago
[10:49] <|HSOt|SadiQ> turned it off thou :P
[10:50] <unop> |HSOt|SadiQ, probably too late by now.
[10:50] <|HSOt|SadiQ> 3 days later???
[10:50] <aigarius> sybux: but there is one more thing - I once had a broken AC adapter on my Dell laptop and the CPU on that laptop refused to go to full frequency when that adapter was plugged in because it could not detect how many watts it could provide
[10:50] <|HSOt|SadiQ> and after the Ip changed???
[10:50] <orangey> Any ideas on how I can unload / reload services when I suspend / resume?
[10:51] <sybux> aigarius: actually I'm on the battery
[10:51] <forensicwannabe> |HSO|SadiQ:   what probably happened is that your internet provider changed your IP, and they gave you an IP of a business or organization that was prone to attack. Call your internet provider and tell them that you are being atacked by a DOS attack, and you need them to change your IP
[10:52] <sybux> aigarius: I can't change the scaling_setspeed manualy. Vi says : Fsync error
[10:52] <|HSOt|SadiQ> rebooting changes that Ip...but the same thing appears in firestarter...just a different port :(
[10:52] <forensicwannabe> tell them to change your IP again. this is no an uncommon problem
[10:52] <|HSOt|SadiQ> :(
[10:52] <forensicwannabe> are you running a server?
[10:52] <|HSOt|SadiQ> I hate rebooting
[10:53] <unop> |HSOt|SadiQ, do you use a router for your internet connection?
[10:53] <|HSOt|SadiQ> nope
[10:53] <|HSOt|SadiQ> nope
[10:53] <forensicwannabe> do you have a nat router?
[10:53] <FloodBot2> |HSOt|SadiQ: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:53] <|HSOt|SadiQ> :P
[10:53] <|HSOt|SadiQ> no router...cable goes in eth0
[10:53] <forensicwannabe> you need to run your computer behind a nat router for a firewall
[10:53] <unop> |HSOt|SadiQ, ok, but how can you be guaranteed that the IP address changes?
[10:54] <|HSOt|SadiQ> it's not the same???
[10:54] <unop> |HSOt|SadiQ, not necessarily
[10:54] <|HSOt|SadiQ> I'm not exactly newbie i linux :P
[10:54] <DefamedPrawn> hey my Download Manager's fixed
[10:54] <forensicwannabe> didn't you say that rebooting it causes the IP  to change
[10:54] <DefamedPrawn> courtessy of Magilla in ##australia
[10:54] <|HSOt|SadiQ> yes
[10:54] <PokerFacePenguin> |HSOt|SadiQ: you can sudo dhclient eth0
[10:54] <|HSOt|SadiQ> it changes after a reboot
[10:54] <aigarius> sybux: so you need to try loadig different scaling drivers and then try to change the frequency manually, I don't know the list of possible drivers, however
[10:54] <DefamedPrawn> [21:21] <Magilla> rename downloads.sqlite to downloads.sqlite.old
[10:55] <forensicwannabe> did you put a strong password on your administrator account when you installed ubuntu?\
[10:55] <unop> |HSOt|SadiQ, in any case, use a firewall, secure all open ports and you should be ok - they tend to give up after a while.
[10:55] <oobe> forensicwannabe, do you want to know my root password?
[10:55] <jim_p> how can i scan for wireless networks around me from the terminal?
[10:55] <forensicwannabe> oobe.....I don't think so
[10:55] <sybux> aigarius: he scaling_max_freq has 600000 value and I can't change to 1100000
[10:55] <jim_p> i just want ONE ssid
[10:56] <unop> jim_p,  sudo iwlist scan
[10:56] <PokerFacePenguin> jim_p: try installing kismet
[10:56] <oobe> forensicwannabe, lol
[10:56] <|HSOt|SadiQ> it's been like this for 2 days now :(
[10:56] <forensicwannabe> lol
[10:56] <jim_p> unop, thanks
[10:56] <jim_p> PokerFacePenguin, i dont have internet connection there
[10:56] <forensicwannabe> software firewalls are worthless
[10:56] <aigarius> sybux: and what does cpuinfo_max_freq say?
[10:57] <forensicwannabe> only a nat router will give you a secure firewall...... for your application
[10:57] <sybux> aigarius: cpuinfo_max_freq is 1100000
[10:57] <|HSOt|SadiQ> my connection got dropped with some strange "TCP: Treason uncloaked!" message last time
[10:57] <sybux> aigarius: this is the point where I can't understand what's happend
[10:57] <unop> forensicwannabe, that's not true - in any case, you're offtopic there.
[10:57] <forensicwannabe> did you make a strong password when you installed ubuntu?
[10:58] <forensicwannabe> unop: he's in trouble...he's a newbie, and I'm just trying to help him get his ubuntu back on track
[10:58] <aigarius> sybux: let me put it this way - the inux kernel hears that that the CPU is capable of 1.1Ghz, but is unable to find a knob that would allow it to reach that
[10:59] <sybux> aigarius: exactly
[10:59] <unop> forensicwannabe, to say only a NAT router will protect him is untrue - and subjective - anyway, offtopic.
[10:59] <forensicwannabe> unop: it's not absolutely true, but it is true in general.....like I said for his application......
[11:00] <forensicwannabe> exactly.....I was just trying to talk to him in terms that he could understand and deal with.
[11:02] <PokerFacePenguin> hmm, looks like  a netsplit
[11:02] <aigarius> sybux: look into /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq for possible drivers
[11:02] <|HSOt|SadiQ> that sudo dhclient ppp0 killed my connection
[11:02] <PokerFacePenguin> it reset your ip address
[11:03] <|HSOt|SadiQ> no...I had to use the GUI to do that
[11:03] <PokerFacePenguin> |HSOt|SadiQ: that command sends out a dhcp request
[11:03] <|HSOt|SadiQ> No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. ...was the response
[11:03] <forensicwannabe> oobe: cheers....I'm outta here..... I like someone who can make a wise crack from time to time..... do I want your password  lol
[11:03] <sybux> aigarius: actually I'm using acpu-cpufreq but I don't know which other I can try
[11:04] <PokerFacePenguin> |HSOt|SadiQ: hmmm, no dhcp server listening to give you an ip
[11:05] <PokerFacePenguin> |HSOt|SadiQ: but you did it on ppp0 not eth0
[11:05] <|HSOt|SadiQ> right clicking on that network applet and selecting/deselecting Enable Network fixed it
[11:05] <aigarius> sybux: could it be that your CPU is to new to have proper support in the kernel?
[11:05] <|HSOt|SadiQ> on eth0 it had no effect
[11:05] <sybux> aigarius: I don't think so, my laptop is 3 years old
[11:05] <|HSOt|SadiQ> I'm connecting to the internet directly trough eth0---->ppp0
[11:06] <|HSOt|SadiQ> firestarter's chilled out a bit now :)
[11:06] <|HSOt|SadiQ> just lots of requests for shoutcast servers and port 8080 in the logs
[11:07] <|HSOt|SadiQ> actually I'm beeing scanned for opened ports....ip's are not too different now
[11:07] <PokerFacePenguin> |HSOt|SadiQ: you could deny that domain in iptables i believe....
[11:08] <bazhang> |HSOt|SadiQ, please take this to #networking or #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:09] <|HSOt|SadiQ> oh...sry...didn't see the #networking in ubuntu.com's web page :(
[11:09] <Shanoes> |HSOt|SadiQ, might be worth looking into shorewall firewall if this continues
[11:09] <|HSOt|SadiQ> sry all...and thx :)
[11:09] <PokerFacePenguin> |HSOt|SadiQ: your best/easiest solution is a router
[11:09] <meekatron> hello having issues getting my head round dns and proxy`s, i had a spare machine so decided to make my own dns and proxy server. my first question is if my local machine uses the dns server will it automatically use the proxy server because it is on the same machine as the dns server
[11:10] <|HSOt|SadiQ> that would be ideal, but every store out here is closed for holydays :(
[11:10] <donkey3> hi, could somebody help me with a wireless connection? (i had winxp on this laptop before and it worked fine) i cant find any wireless connections (hotspots) or connect to my own wireless server!
[11:10] <PokerFacePenguin> |HSOt|SadiQ: technically you could set it up with virtual ethernet interface and some routing, but that is a big onion to peel
[11:10] <neko> hi

[11:18] <t_> Apparently those are never explained
[11:18] <neko> t_ wait a sec
[11:18] <Shanoes> dieter_ have you set CVS_RSH and CVSROOT?
[11:18] <aresu> halo
[11:18] <NET||abuse> hi guys.. trying to get Company Of Heroes on Steam working on Wine. there's a note on the forums and winehq about changing direct3d settings in the wine / windows registry.. but trying to run regedit is causing an issue for me
[11:19] <NET||abuse> says can't load an archive?ahhh
[11:19] <NET||abuse> never mind... i'm a moron..
[11:19] <dieter_> Shanoes, no up to now I tried only with cvs -d ... option
[11:20] <hak5fan> Hi all does anyone know how to turn off sounds in kopete
[11:20] <aresu> I am newbies on linux. may I now, what is the similar k-lite code from windows on ubuntu os? thanks
[11:21] <bazhang> ubuntu-restricted-extras aresu
[11:21] <|HSOt|SadiQ> w32codecs??
[11:21] <Shanoes> dieter_, OK you will need to tell cvs to use ssh and where the repository is by using these variables
[11:21] <bazhang> aresu, you can also check at medibuntu.org for w32codecs and libdvdcss2
[11:22] <dieter_> Shanoes, thank you, I'll check this out
[11:22] <Shanoes> dieter_, in your .bashrc (or elsewhere) export CVS_RSH=ssh
[11:22] <aresu> bazhang: thank very much
[11:22] <Shanoes> dieter_, export CVSROOT=user@cvs.server:/path/to/repository
[11:22] <Shanoes> dieter_, have a read of http://www.mtu.net/~engstrom/ssh-cvs.php
[11:24] <dieter_> Shanoes, when using non standard port for ssh, do I specify it in the same way as I would for a nonstandard pserver-port in CVSROOT?
[11:24] <|HSOt|SadiQ> can anyone paste an xorg.conf please...mine seems to lack a lot of things in it :((
[11:24] <NCommander> |HSOt|SadiQ, just delete xorg.conf, it will automatically be regenerated
[11:25] <aresu> hi all, is it required to install antivirus on Ubuntu? like I install on windows before. thanks
[11:25] <style> hello
[11:25] <Shanoes> dieter_, not sure but sounds reasonable...
[11:25] <|HSOt|SadiQ> but it will still lack a lot of things
[11:25] <style> Can I ubuntu read a book for me?
[11:25] <style> My eyes are tired.
[11:25] <dr_willis> |HSOt|SadiQ,  the new X versions autoconfigure a lot of things. You can still use older xorg.conf to tweak things ibelive
[11:25] <hak5fan> aresu: Generally No
[11:25] <dr_willis> !virus |  aresu
[11:26] <PokerFacePenguin> aresu: not necessary except maybe to keep it from spreading to your friends on windows via email etc
[11:26] <|HSOt|SadiQ> well...I lack the old xorg.conf...that's why I need one of yours
[11:26] <|HSOt|SadiQ> mine looks too simple compared to what I had before
[11:27] <dieter_> Schanoes, no, it wont work that way: "CVSROOT port specification is only valid for gserver, kserver, and pserver connection methods."
[11:27] <dr_willis> |HSOt|SadiQ,  simple is how its supposed to look.
[11:27] <dr_willis> |HSOt|SadiQ,  some systems can get by with no xorg.conf I hear. X can autoconfigure all the stuff  :)
[11:28] <|HSOt|SadiQ> so...how do I know if Composite is enabled??? since it's not in xorg.conf :(
[11:28] <aresu> I guys, I really excited using ubuntu (my first linux) ;-) the program launch and process is very fast ;-), I am developing web application usually using xampp on windows, but is not so fast like on linux :)
[11:28] <|HSOt|SadiQ> that was an example
[11:28] <aresu> i am so happy
[11:28] <grobda24> I tried using "Unetbootin super grub disk" to make a Windows XP boot loader load Ubuntu on a second harddisk. I selected something like "set laptop partition" by mistake, and now I get "error loading operating system". My files are intact. Partition table - http://paste.linuxassist.net/156491 ... Any ideas ?
[11:28] <dr_willis> |HSOt|SadiQ,  so you have an actual 'problem' with X  ? Theres commands that   tell that specific example I belive.. Not sure what ones.
[11:29] <dr_willis> |HSOt|SadiQ,  you could always add  specific 'sections' back to the xorg.conf if you want to try to override the defaults
[11:29] <pzn> Hi. the slash-question key stopped working (both tty1 and X11) after adding intrepid-updates to source list. which package should I downgrade to fix this? any other suggestion to fix it?
[11:29] <|HSOt|SadiQ> no...X works fine...but I lack(I think) a lot of options in my xorg.conf that I used to tweak, or add things I needed
[11:29] <rolandcortes> olan
[11:29] <Shanoes> dieter_, non standard port info here http://www.bartbusschots.ie/blog/?p=527
[11:30] <rolandcortes> hallow
[11:30] <dr_willis> |HSOt|SadiQ,  they are not lacking. they are being auto-set. If you have an old xorg.conf that worked for you.. copy it back over. if you really wan tto see all them.
[11:30] <|HSOt|SadiQ> but I can't add them without knowing wich are...and there doesn't seem to be a nice xorg.conf anywere
[11:30] <|HSOt|SadiQ> I don't have :(
[11:30] <|HSOt|SadiQ> if someone here can paste it for me...?
[11:30] <dr_willis> http://pastebin.com/f1bef5c13
[11:30] <|HSOt|SadiQ> please?
[11:30] <dr_willis> theres 100000's of web sites with people showing example xorg.conf files
[11:31] <|HSOt|SadiQ> none seem complete thou :(
[11:31] <|HSOt|SadiQ> my xorg.conf doesn't even have a Server Flags Option
[11:31] <t_> Excuse me but does anyone know how to install guest additions with Virtual Box?
[11:31] <dr_willis> |HSOt|SadiQ,  look for older ones then.   The whole point of the NEW changes in X was to make xorg.conf simpiler.
[11:31] <t_> I'm finding it impossible to get whatever that is.
[11:32] <|HSOt|SadiQ> and I don't want to add it without knowing where and what to add :)
[11:32] <grobda24> |HSOt|SadiQ, I think you can auto generate one for your system if you read the docs on Ubuntu wiki.
[11:32] <dr_willis> Theres that old xorg-somthing reconfigure command also..
[11:32] <PokerFacePenguin> t_: you  should be able to automount the ISO image
[11:32]  * grobda24 wonders why if someone asks for help there are suddenyl "zillions" of sites out there with the answer ?
[11:33] <dr_willis> t_,  i enable the 'install guest addations' in the menu, then  either mount manually the cd image it just added to the virtualmachine, or browse witht he file mnager and find it.. I use the terminal.. since i run the installer from the terminal
[11:33] <NET||abuse> hmm, my wine registry doesn't have the key HKCU->Software->Wine->Direct3D which should then contain OffscreenRenderingMode,, it has up to Wine, why is this not available? or how do i try to fix the rendering problems in games?
[11:33] <NET||abuse> anyone know any other good guides for this stuff?
[11:34] <grobda24> NET||abuse, http://winehq.org ?
[11:34] <Slart> NET||abuse: or #winehq
[11:34] <NET||abuse> grobda24: i'm looking for this Direct3d Key under a posting on winhq.org     oh.. Slart: ok i'll check #winehq
[11:35] <Melio1> i have wifi stuff that doesnt work, on forums people are known to use the ndiswrapper to get it working. is this fairly easy?
[11:35] <grobda24> NET||abuse, dat da one
[11:35] <d31> Hey guys, what channel would be best to discuss full screen video playback issues?
[11:35] <d31> Melio1, fairly easy if you read the instructions
[11:36] <Melio1> d31 where's the instructions
[11:36] <grobda24> d31 ... with Kaffeine ?
[11:36] <d31> grobda24, at the moment using vlc
[11:37] <dieter_> Shanoes, thanks a lot, now it just works (tm) ;)
[11:37] <d31> grobda24, Not sure if it's a video driver issue, as I am using the latest ATI drivers. Framerate seems to be okay when i'm not using fullscreen
[11:37] <Shanoes> dieter_ no worries mate have fun
[11:37] <sybux> aigarius: still here ? I've found an issue on internet. It seems that my laptop is becoming to hot and the thermal sense disable cpu scaling as my laptop is fan less. It seems to be reported as a bug. You can find more details here (for personal culture) : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/88899
[11:38] <miki> I want to help in dev Open Source ware
[11:38] <aigarius> sybux: that makes sense
[11:38] <Shanoes> miki dont we all ;)
[11:38] <d31> I'm also not sure if VLC should be chewing up as much CPU as it does, currently using between 15/20%
[11:39] <Melio1> hmm. why wouldnt apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils work
[11:39] <jim_p> d31, are you on ati + fglrx +compiz?
[11:39] <unop> Melio1, depends on the error you get :)
[11:39] <unop> !info ndiswrapper-utils
[11:39] <unop> Melio1, ^^ that probably explains why
[11:40] <jokkaa> join #zen
[11:40] <Melio1> ubot
[11:40] <miki> shanoes i especially want to write some code
[11:40] <Melio1> er unop. when i type ndiswrapper -l
[11:40] <d31> jim_p, yeah I am
[11:40] <Melio1> it sais sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
[11:40] <Melio1> i tried that
[11:40] <Melio1> and it failed to retrieve
[11:40] <bullgard4> Who can explain to me the sentence  "NAME: rtnetlink - macros to manipulate rtnetlink messages" from man 3 rtnetlink?
[11:40] <Melio1> so i'm guessing it's something else
[11:41] <Melio1> !info ndiswrapper-common
[11:41] <d31> jim_p, X1400, I thought that I had done everything to get video working, and it does work fine when i'm not using fullscreen, just that fullscreen does lack a decent framerate
[11:41] <unop> Melio1, post the output you get on a !pastebin
[11:41] <ltsp> hello

[11:42] <Melio1> ltsp: don't repeat what you want. your not 2 years old
[11:42] <unop> Melio1, sounds like you don't have the repository enabled.
[11:42] <ltsp> sorry ...
[11:42] <d31> jim_p, yep
[11:42] <Melio1> unop, possibly. i'm fairly new to ubuntu

[11:43] <Shanoes> miki not sure this is the right forum for such questions, do a google for 'contributing open source newbie' of such
[11:44] <jim_p> d31, try changing video output (of the player you use) to gl or gl2. and close compiz when watching videos
[11:44] <jim_p> d31, or use the opensource radeon driver
[11:44] <Shanoes> miki and get yourself a CS degree (if you dont have one already)
[11:44] <d31> jim_p, Thanks
[11:45] <Melio1> i bet changing adding repos will fix this
[11:46] <SJrX> What'll the fallout be if I change the partition that Linux / is on from Primary to Logical?
[11:46] <ltsp> I want to install one application which is created by us. now i want to install it on the ltsp server, and every user can access from his menu...?can u help me...
[11:46] <etronik> hi all, what is the package name for the midnight commander thingy ? TIA
[11:47] <dr_willis> SJrX,  grub may or may not look in the wrong place.. but i think the newer grub setups use UUID.  So that may confuse things if the UUID changes
[11:47] <ltsp> Spark..
[11:47] <n2diy> etronik, mc
[11:47] <dr_willis> SJrX,  and the fstab file also uses UUID's so they will need tobe corrected
[11:47] <Boohbah> SJrX: try gparted to add and change partitions
[11:47] <d31> jim_p, turning off compiz, seems to fix the video playback issue
[11:47] <jim_p> d31, are you into gaming?
[11:47] <etronik> thanks
[11:47] <ltsp> I want to install one application (spark which is messenger services). now i want to install it on the ltsp server, and every user can access from his menu...?can u help me...
[11:47] <bullgard4> etronik: mc

[11:48] <ltsp> I want to install one application (spark which is messenger services). now i want to install it on the ltsp server, and every user can access from his menu...?can u help me...
[11:48] <Melio1> wifi should pop right up
[11:48] <Melio1> if not i'll fix it
[11:48] <FloodBot2> Melio1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:48] <d31> jim_p, nope, but i do enjoy a couple of the nice desktop effects that compiz does offer, mainly the transparency and expo...none of the stupid wobbly windows
[11:49] <ltsp> I want to install one application (spark which is messenger services). now i want to install it on the ltsp server, and every user can access from his menu...?can u help me...
[11:49] <jim_p> d31, if not, use the radeon driver that can do compiz and flicker free video playback with compiz, but it only has the 20% of fglrx's power in 3d
[11:49] <AMDMutant> jim_p: fglrx+compiz. vo x11 runs fine
[11:49] <etronik> I installed commander but in putty, the pseudo-graphical lines appear as letters, how do I correct that ? TIA
[11:50] <jim_p> AMDMutant, sure? then 90% ati users need a doctor
[11:50] <jim_p> etronik, do you use putty for ssh?
[11:50] <dr_willis> etronik,   tell putty to use the UTF-8 encoding scheme I belive..  i have to do that with mc also.
[11:50] <etronik> jim_p: yes
[11:51] <etronik> dr_willis: thanks, will try
[11:51] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[11:51] <silv3r_m00n> i want to do some processing on mp3 files like changing bitrate from 128 to 32 etc
[11:51] <d31> jim_p, AMDMutant running compiz definitely seems to slow things down
[11:51] <silv3r_m00n> which tool can i sue ?
[11:51] <silv3r_m00n> use*
[11:51] <dr_willis> etronik,  translation -> utf-8 works for mc here. :)
[11:51] <Boohbah> silv3r_m00n: lame
[11:51] <imaginent> If i'm updating ubuntu from the internet using sudo, is it possible for someone to be able to access my system?
[11:52] <Boohbah> imaginent: if your system is connected to the internet there is always a possibilty that someone will access it
[11:52] <silv3r_m00n> Boohbah: lame ?
[11:52] <silv3r_m00n> interesting name
[11:52] <etronik> dr_willis: that did it :-) thanks
[11:52] <dr_willis> etronik,  theres also other options that may affect that in tha tarea.. 'line drawing' features.. but I just use utf-8 and it works here for me.
[11:52] <Boohbah> silv3r_m00n: yes, it is the best mp3 encoder
[11:52] <Brandan> holy crap this room has a lot of users
[11:53] <silv3r_m00n> Boohbah: let me install and try
[11:53] <dr_willis> Brandan,  actually its a slow day
[11:53] <AMDMutant> d31: yah, im slow anyway :)
[11:53] <d31> AMDMutant, :) I might have a poke around google, but at least I know that it's compiz that's the issue. Thanks for the help jim_p and AMDMutant :)
[11:54] <silv3r_m00n> Boohbah: it hasnt got a frontend ?
[11:54] <qaws> hi, how to set LCD monitor native resolution (1920x1080) with DVI, please? With VGA, it goes OK, but when I connect DVI, it limits me to 1280x1024
[11:54] <jim_p> d31, seriously, if you do not need max 3d performance, go to radeon driver
[11:54] <Boohbah> silv3r_m00n: yes there are many frontends, not sure what they're called
[11:54] <AMDMutant> d31: nop
[11:54] <dr_willis> qaws,  have you rebooted after connecting to the new connection?
[11:54] <Boohbah> silv3r_m00n: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=299222
[11:55] <qaws> dr_willis, I connected it, when the computer was off
[11:55] <dr_willis> qaws,  normally DVI gets the right res for me.. If you  are using a NVIDIA card. You may need to have the nvidia Drivers installed properly first.. I had one box that dident get the right dvi res Untill I had the nvidia drivers going
[11:55] <Boohbah> silv3r_m00n: http://lame.sourceforge.net/links.php
[11:56] <silv3r_m00n> Boohbah: thanks
[11:57] <qaws> dr_willis, my nvidia drivers are (should be) OK, 3D games go without problems with VGA and 1920x1080.
[11:57] <Boohbah> silv3r_m00n: not sure of any GUI that does the bitrate conversion though, the command line syntax is not difficult and there are examples in the man page
[11:57] <silv3r_m00n> Boohbah: let me try
[11:58] <qaws> dr_willis, ... and I did not have to rewrite anything in xorg.conf, when I installed this monitor with VGA. I had only to change the resolution
[11:58] <d31> jim_p, heh, well here goes, we'll see how i go with installing the drivers
[11:59] <jim_p> ok
[12:00] <monkey_d_luffy> Does anyone know of a GUI-based application for editing EXIF tags?
[12:00] <dr_willis> qaws,  ive seen some other cases where people have had to  add a new mode to their xorg.conf files.. but never with dvi connectors..
[12:01] <dr_willis> qaws,  check the xorg.conf - it could be theres some wrong mode/res entry thats limiting it.
[12:03] <dangit> i have a samba share mounted through nautilus, how can i check stuff like available disk size etc on the share?
[12:03] <qaws> dr_willis, is it possible, if it just works with VGA? I looked for wrong entry, but I did not find nothing
[12:05] <dr_willis> qaws,  hard to tell.. I wouldent think so.. Ive never heard of such an issue.. as a 'test' try moving the xorg.conf to another file. and just restarting X :) see if that kicks it in the head.
[12:05] <dr_willis> qaws,  ie: restart X with No xorg.conf at all.. see if it rescans/configures
[12:05] <qaws> dr_willis, thanks, I will try...
[12:06] <dr_willis> dangit,  check with the mount command to see if its actually 'mounted' the gnome file manager can 'browse' shares without mounting them in the normal sence.
[12:06] <dangit> dr_willis, doesn't seem to be
[12:07] <dr_willis> dangit,  then its not really mounted. Im not sure how to get the size/space of the thing the gnome way..

[12:17] <dr_willis> Hmmm....
[12:17] <eleos2> how can i install the ext4 linux kernel in ubuntu
[12:17] <norbert79> mbdl: If it concerns Ubuntu related problems of course
[12:17] <dr_willis> !ext4
[12:17] <jim_p> what package do i need to install for an nvidia 5700m ?
[12:17] <norbert79> eleos2: You have to compile your own kernel, using the latest source
[12:17] <dr_willis> Is ext4 considered safe at this time?
[12:17] <jim_p> that m is because its on laptop
[12:17] <norbert79> !kernel_compile
[12:17] <mbdl> norbert79:  cant get my sound to work
[12:17] <eleos2> norbert79 how can i do that?
[12:17] <norbert79> dr_willis: Yes, afaik Linus set it as stable for the latest
[12:17] <dr_willis> !kernel
[12:18] <dr_willis> norbert79,  more fun for the next release then. :)
[12:18] <norbert79> dr_willis: More headaches too :)
[12:18] <mbdl> norbert79: i tryed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro4-1/Intrepid
[12:18] <mbdl> and it will not work
[12:18] <dr_willis> norbert79,  i havent been  Keeping up with ext4 other then 'its comming....'
[12:18] <norbert79> dr_willis: Check the latest release of the kernel news
[12:18] <norbert79> mbdl: Hang on
[12:18] <eleos2> is ubuntu going to release  the linux kernel ext4?
[12:18] <norbert79> eleos2: Probably in the next release
[12:19] <norbert79> eleos2: But i doubt it
[12:19] <mbdl> norbert79: thx
[12:19] <norbert79> eleos2: Maybe in 9.10
[12:19] <eleos2> why?
[12:19] <dr_willis> Its not like they would force people to use ext4  -
[12:19] <eleos2> is it good if install it by  myself?
[12:19] <norbert79> eleos2: It's way different, when you try to impőlement a new filesystem to a distro than having a new version of Gnome for example
[12:19] <dr_willis> eleos2,  you take your system in your own hands then..
[12:20] <dr_willis> eleos2,  try it if you want. :) thats the linux way
[12:20] <jim_p> eleos2, because its not a rolling release distro. you can always compile the kernel yourself
[12:20] <norbert79> eleos2: It's always nice experimenting, but do it at your own risk :) KNOW what you are trying to accomplish
[12:20] <dr_willis> !latest
[12:20] <eleos2> ok thx guys
[12:20] <norbert79> LOL
[12:20] <norbert79> thats far night true
[12:20] <norbert79> Ubuntu uses the unstable tree from Debian
[12:21] <norbert79> if you want stability, use Debian, Ubuntu uses always the latest
[12:21] <eleos2> ok
[12:21] <eleos2> iam on debian
[12:21] <jim_p> in fact, ubuntu uses a mix of debian unstable + experimental branches
[12:21] <norbert79> jim_p: Thank you, thats the right definiton
[12:21] <jim_p> eleos2, then 2.6.28 will come sooner or later
[12:21] <norbert79> mbdl: Ok, let me see
[12:22] <stjepan> hi, anyone using gnome2-globalmenu?

[12:26] <norbert79> I see

[12:28] <Fri13> Hi, when is Ubuntu 8.04.2 coming out?
[12:28] <norbert79> Fri13: Ubuntu's latest version is 8.10
[12:28] <bullgard4> Fri13: Not so soon.
[12:29] <Fri13> bullgard4: on january? Isn't the x.xx.+1 released coming exact periods?
[12:29] <norbert79> bullgard4: Hang on for a moment
[12:30] <bullgard4> Fri13: There is no date scheduled.
[12:30] <Fri13> bullgard4: is there any roadmap for those, anykind?
[12:30] <bullgard4> Fri13: Not that I knew of.
[12:31] <Fri13> Does anyone know is there release schedule for Ubuntu LTS's version point releases?
[12:32] <Fri13> bullgard4: As far I know, those comes when needed and not scheduled?
[12:32] <bullgard4> Fri13: This is correct.
[12:33] <Fri13> bullgard4: can I count your information too? Because I have never heard that LTS version would get exact schedules for point releases. Only know that those will come if there comes too serious bugs what needs that cd-image needs updateing too, so they include all updates to that and few other fixes for installer etc?
[12:34] <Melio1> i got wifi working, thanks guys
[12:34] <Melio1> works incredably well now
[12:35] <Melio1> didnt take much. just a kernel compiled module
[12:35] <Melio1> hopefully it doesnt mess up every time there's a kernel release
[12:35] <Melio1> if so. no biggie
[12:35] <bullgard4> Fri13: This is what I said too.

[12:38] <kitply> hi all ,i have a samsung mp3 player ( YPU2J model) but when i plug it in Ubuntu doesnt seem to recognise it.Are there any drivers available for ubuntu for the samsung mp3 player?
[12:39] <norbert79> kitply: What Ubuntu are you using?
[12:39] <kitply> Ubuntu 8.10
[12:39] <kurozaki> palu
[12:39] <norbert79> kitply: In generic any mp3 player is being recognised in default. Any error message?
[12:40] <Fri13> bullgard4: All what I now found is this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule
[12:40] <kitply> norbert79: it doesnt get mounted at all..I am not able to see it under COMPUTER
[12:41] <norbert79> kitply: Can you please go to /proc/bus/usb?
[12:41] <kitply> norbert79: ok.
[12:41] <norbert79> kitply: do you have anything there inside?
[12:41] <kitply> norbert79: yes i do. i have songs in them ( mp3)
[12:42] <norbert79> no
[12:42] <Jimi__Hendrix> hi...can i ask a quic semi off topic question: what does ubotu do?
[12:42] <Melio1> it's a database bot
[12:42] <Melio1> has info in it
[12:42] <Melio1> watch
[12:42] <norbert79> kitply: In a terminal, "cd /proc/bus/usb ; ls -la"
[12:42] <Melio1> !info ubuntu
[12:42] <Melio1> it's got package info on it
[12:43] <Melio1> and other things
[12:43] <Melio1> like !info amarok
[12:43] <Melio1> !info amarok
[12:43] <dr_willis> !info gentoo
[12:43] <Melio1> gentoo is a x file manager
[12:43] <Melio1> heh.
[12:43] <dr_willis> :)
[12:44] <bullgard4> Fri13: So there is a date scheduled yet. I did not know of it. So it the exact date is important to you then please watch out. In the past, these dates often have been postponed.
[12:44] <Jimi__Hendrix> gentoo is a file manager?
[12:44] <Jimi__Hendrix> wow
[12:44] <bullgard4> Fri13: s/it/if/
[12:44] <dr_willis> Jimi__Hendrix,  yes. :) it was around befor 'gentoo' the disrto was. :)
[12:45] <cmv583> can anyone direct me towards a good port monitor app?
[12:46] <bullgard4> cmv583: Define "good".
[12:47] <cmv583> bull on ethat is easy to use, I am having  speed issues and am wondering if its some problem related to ports being shared, or something
[12:48] <thebloggu> how can i reset the keybindings in gnome-keybinding-properties (System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts) ?
[12:48] <cmv583> bullgard4: that is easy to use, I am having  speed issues and am wondering if its some problem related to ports being shared, or something
[12:50] <bullgard4> cmv583: "speed issues" may occur literally everywhere. --I cannot help you.
[12:51] <markwilson> hi
[12:51] <cmv583> bullgard4:  i know, just wanted to have something to monitor
[12:51] <serwou> hi
[12:51] <rva_lenio> hi
[12:51] <markwilson> i just got an inspiron 1525 shipped with hardy but it keeps crashing
[12:52] <markwilson> the wireless drops after a while and then i can't run anything with sudo
[12:52] <serwou> I've just upgraded to Intrepid and my TRAC web application doesn't work anymore, there is no more trac.cgi around, how I could fix that ?
[12:52] <markwilson> so i have to force a shutdown and it fails on mdns daemon
[12:53] <markwilson> can anyone help? :)
[12:53] <Boohbah> cmv583: are you talking about server daemons listening on TCP/UDP IP ports? very unlikely that is causing any system slowdown, as someone would have to connect to the services and use them... but if you want you can check with 'netstat -anp'
[12:53] <bullgard4> cmv583: Try hapm.
[12:53] <rva_lenio> I have a question about wlan, CTS and kernel version: all kernels > 2.6.24-18 seems to use CTS with wlan, which disables me from accessing a EAP-TLS network. Do you know if something about CTS is enabled in kernels > 2.6.24-18?
[12:54] <cmv583> bullgard4:  thanks
[12:54] <markwilson> boohbah: i don't really know why it's crashing, it seems to start with the wireless dying. it's only when i force a shutdown that i see the mdns daemon won't stop
[12:55] <Boohbah> markwilson: have you updated your packages?
[12:55] <hari_> a
[12:56] <markwilson> boohbah: yep, although it's coming up with 16 more now, but it keeps crashing when trying to download them
[12:56] <hari_> i m new to this chat .
[12:56] <hari_> help .
[12:56] <hari_> what is it?
[12:57] <hari_> varox
[12:57] <dr_willis> !irc | hari_
[12:57] <dr_willis> hari_,  IRC has been a way to 'chat' for a very very very loooooooooong time :)
[12:58] <hari_> what is this chat for?
[12:58] <dr_willis> hari_,  as the TOPIC says.. 'ubuntu support'
[12:58] <hari_> its cool
[12:58] <norbert79> Another happy customer... Ok, whos next? :)
[12:58] <bullgard4> hari_: Yes it is.
[12:58] <dr_willis> K00l
[12:58] <hari_> then tell me how  to get compiz working in my pc
[12:59] <dr_willis> hari_,  you have the 3d drivers for your video card installed first?
[12:59] <norbert79> hari_: Should be enabled by default. Whats your hardware?
[12:59] <hari_> i downloaded by add/remove
[12:59] <dr_willis> downloaded what exactly?
[12:59] <markwilson> boohbah: is it likely to be a hardware fault?
[12:59] <norbert79> hari_: What exactly did you do?
[12:59] <hari_> i have nvidia 8400gs
[13:00] <lintunen> jtaji:  the method you suggested earlier for locking packages will not work for me because it talks about pinning to a particular distro, I want to stop custom kernel packages from getting overwritten
[13:00] <bullgard4> norbert79: "13:29 < norbert79> bullgard4: Hang on for a moment"
[13:00] <markwilson> boohbah: it came with ubuntu preinstalled and hasn't worked properly, so i formatted and installed hardy again, but i get the same problems
[13:00] <norbert79> hari_: Good, and did you enbale the usage of closed source drivers using the option in /system/administration?
[13:00] <hari_> i didnt get you
[13:01] <norbert79> bullgard4: Didn't forgat you, but you didn't answer my question, besides, you got help after me as well.. I toguht it got solved. So what was your problem again?
[13:01] <norbert79> hari_: Just having Nvidia drivers installed might be not enough, you have to ENABLE them too
[13:01] <hari_> tellme how?
[13:01] <bullgard4> norbert79: Who can explain to me the sentence  "NAME: rtnetlink - macros to manipulate rtnetlink messages" from man 3 rtnetlink?
[13:01] <norbert79> hari_: Use system/administration/closed source drivers
[13:01] <norbert79> bullgard4: Ah yes, ok
[13:02] <hari_> i dont see closed soruce  thing
[13:02] <markwilson> does anyone else have any idea how to fix my inspiron 1525
[13:02] <markwilson> ?
[13:03] <hari_> nobert help?
[13:03] <norbert79> hari_: Ok, do please the following "glxinfo | grep direct"
[13:03] <lintunen> Can anybody tell me how to prevent custom kernel packages from getting overridden with automatic update.  I have tried 'holding' as suggested in the pinning howto but this does not work.
[13:03] <MaheshS> @Markwilson What is the prob with 1525?
[13:03] <keystr0k> anyone know how to get Keepass 2.06 working in Ubuntu?
[13:04] <hari_> k thanks see ya
[13:04] <ArrPirate> I installed XBMC on ubuntu 8.10 yesterday and it crashed and since then I've had no audio playback possible... every time I open something that normally has audio all I hear i popping noises... I tried uninstalling xbmc and I still have the audio issues. How can I fix this?
[13:04] <SJr> I am getting GRUB error 17 when I boot, I just turned my primary partition into a logical one.
[13:04] <markwilson> @MaheshS the wireless dies after a random amount of time which leaves the laptop unusable. absolutely nothing will run after that. But it also happens when trying to do my 16 updates.
[13:05] <dr_willis> keystr0k,  issent that a windows program?
[13:05] <markwilson> @MaheshS and then when I have to hold the power off, it tries a forced reboot, but it fails on the mDNS daemon and doesn't actually reboot
[13:05] <keystr0k> dr_willis, Supported operating systems:
[13:05] <keystr0k> Windows 98 / 98SE / ME / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista, each 32-bit and 64-bit, Mono (Linux, Mac OS X, BSD, ...).
[13:05] <dr_willis> keystr0k,  if its not in the repos.. i would say check the programs homepage/docs
[13:05] <dr_willis> keystr0k,  they may  have a ubuntu package for it.
[13:06] <keystr0k> dr_willis, yeah... I cannot seem to find an install guide. I'll keep looking. thanks.
[13:07] <dr_willis> keystr0k,  when all else fails.. compile from source.  Check forums for others that may have made a  package
[13:07] <UndergroundZer0> stix
[13:07] <keystr0k> dr_willis, definitely :)
[13:07] <pieters> hi
[13:07] <markwilson> keystr0k: http://www.keepassx.org/downloads
[13:08] <puremichael> hmm... does anyone else feel that code::blocks is really slow?
[13:08] <pieters> kan iemand mij helpen
[13:08] <keystr0k> markwilson, thanks, but I am particularly interested in the synchronization and group-sharing capabilities of the latest version of keepass.
[13:08] <ArrPirate> ?
[13:08] <captainm> !nl | pieters
[13:09] <ArrPirate> anyone?
[13:09] <pieters> ja
[13:09] <pieters> ik kom er niet uit uit dat linux gebeuren
[13:10] <ikonia> ArrPirate: saying anyone is pointless, if they didn't see your question saying anyone is not going to let them know, if they don't know the answer saying anyone won't make them know
[13:10] <ikonia> !de > pieters
[13:10] <captainm> pieters als je naar #ubuntu-nl gaat zal ik kijken of ik je kan helpen
[13:10] <ikonia> captainm: english only please
[13:11] <SJr> Markwilson are you mwilson on Undernet?
[13:11] <markwilson> SJr: i don't think so, what's undernet?
[13:11] <pieters> captainm is leuk maar ik weet niks hier van dus help mij even op weg
[13:11] <ArrPirate> ikonia: however if one repeats the question one gets told off.
[13:11] <captainm> ikonia: I was just asking him to go to #ubuntu-nl
[13:11] <SJr> Undernet is the worlds greatest Network, much better than freenode, in fact #Ubuntu on Undernet has 1,000 people who are all Ubuntu engineers.
[13:11] <ikonia> captainm: now now, thats cool
[13:12] <ikonia> captainm: sorry, "no no, thats cool"
[13:12] <ikonia> ArrPirate: so wait a while, as anyone is just noise
[13:12] <ArrPirate> or, it could be me seeing if anyone is currently trying to look something up to help me or if no one saw my message at all.
[13:12] <pieters> denk dat ik maar weer terug ga naar windows of zo
[13:12] <ikonia> ArrPirate: it's just noise
[13:13] <ikonia> !nl > pieters
[13:13] <SJr> !nl > ikonia
[13:13] <captainm> tiep "/j #ubuntu-nl" (zonder aanhalingstekens) en druk op enter, dan help ik je.
[13:13] <pieters> wat denk je zelf ikonia
[13:13] <markwilson> SJr: Thanks, I'm on now:)
[13:13] <ikonia> SJr: why are you sending me that
[13:13] <ArrPirate> I installed XBMC on ubuntu 8.10 yesterday and it crashed and since then I've had no audio playback possible... every time I open something that normally has audio all I hear i popping noises... I tried uninstalling xbmc and I still have the audio issues. How can I fix this?
[13:13] <markwilson> SJr: it only has 9 people in there
[13:13] <Boohbah> SJr: actually undernet is full of bots and kiddies, but i know you knew that :)
[13:14] <teross> hello..maybe here could anyone tell me why i cant load live cd on my pc? i suspect its ati 3850 doesnt allow to load
[13:14] <pieters> oke dus niemand hier die wil helpen
[13:15] <ikonia> teross: ati is a common cause for the livecd being a problem
[13:15] <ikonia> teross: have you tried tha alternative cd to test if it loads normally (admitidley you won't get a live desktop)
[13:15] <dangit> is there any decent app (like evolution) that supports exchange 2007?
[13:15] <dr_willis> !info xbmc
[13:16] <teross> if i install kubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 via safe mode..its not enough for me - i want my pc would work efficiently, with vesa even firefox or movies, youtube lags.. :|
[13:16] <aggar> why are you installing via safemode?
[13:17] <dr_willis> teross,  its possible the full install  + the fglrx drivers will work.  The lvie cd does not have those drivers.. or may be trying ati drivers that dont work with that card
[13:18] <ArrPirate> I fixed my sound
[13:18] <misty_wrk> What's the secret to upgrading ubuntu feisty to 8.04LTS now?  I get an error when trying to follow the normal procedure, because the feisty files have been removed
[13:19] <ikonia> misty_wrk: you have to change the fesity repo to the archive repo's due to them being removed (no longer supported)
[13:19] <ikonia> misty_wrk: to be honest, from 7.04 to 8.04 I'd suggest considering a clean install and backing up your core files because so much has changed between the releases
[13:19] <misty_wrk> ikonia: is there a list of what I should change?
[13:20] <ikonia> misty_wrk: basiclly fesity is now on the archive release server rather than current
[13:20] <ikonia> misty_wrk: thats the only real change
[13:20] <Akos_Beginner> Hi, Any of you used dansguardian with squid? Can they interoperate or both or Dansguardian can oerate alone?
[13:21] <ikonia> Akos_Beginner: from memory you can use it with squid, but to be honest there are much better filtering options to use with squid nativly
[13:21] <w00w> can u give me again french serveur for ubuntu
[13:21] <ikonia> !fr
[13:22] <w00w> Thanks
[13:22] <everettz> Good morning.  Looking for someone interested in a small contract to show me easy to follow instructions for removing PulseAudio from Intrepid in a way that will not break upgrades and that the Orca screen-reader will still work properly.
[13:23] <norbert79> everettz: I think you might ask for total World dominiation, that would be easier :)
[13:23] <dr_willis> 'not break upgrades' - I dont see that happening..
[13:23] <troythetechguy> Good morning.  I'm considering purchasing the Acer Aspire AS4730-4857 notebook, but want to wipe Vista and install Ubuntu.  Does anyone have experience running Ubuntu, or any distro of Linux on this model, or on any Acer notebook?
[13:23] <ikonia> everettz: you can contact canonical for a paid for support option
[13:23] <norbert79> troythetechguy: Why dont you visit your local store, and take a copy of Ubuntu 8.10 with you? :)
[13:23] <ikonia> troythetechguy: all you need to to is check that the hardware is supported on the linux platform you want to use
[13:24] <dr_willis> troythetechguy,  'any acer' is very very broad.. :) My AcerAspireOne runs Linux :)
[13:24] <dr_willis> troythetechguy,  theres several linux laptop sites out. and the ubuntu forum has a laptop section i think
[13:24] <mrglinux> how to recognize what is my wireless cart?
[13:24] <troythetechguy> Thanks all!
[13:24] <ardchoille> The sales associates I've dealt with didn't have a problem with me booting Ubuntu on a prospective system while in the store. Some of them even knew what Ubuntu was.
[13:24] <everettz> To bad.  Ubuntu would be a far more accessible operating system if Pulse did not make Orca lose responsiveness.  It is far better on Debian.  Perhaps I will look into a paid support option, thought someone here might want to make some money.
[13:25] <ikonia> everettz: please take your paid for support requests to a company, canonical is the official support company
[13:25] <dr_willis> everettz,  try a window manager/desktop thats not using Pulse perhaps.
[13:26] <dr_willis> But ive not ever messed with orca.. so No idea  what it really needs/does
[13:26] <mrglinux> my wirless car dosen't detect on my 8.10 in the light of that is off
[13:26] <everettz> dr_willis: Unfortunately Orca needs gnome.
[13:27] <dr_willis> everettz,  wont work with xfce eh? :(
[13:27] <norbert79> troythetechguy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115543&nm_mc=OTC-RSS&cm_mmc=OTC-RSS-_-Laptops%20%2F%20Notebooks-_-Acer%20America-_-N82E16834115543
[13:27] <norbert79> troythetechguy: It stated, that Ubuntu works well
[13:27] <norbert79> troythetechguy: You might give it a try
[13:27] <skream> can i just copy a livecd to a usb thumbdrive to get a liveusb?
[13:27] <ikonia> skream: no
[13:27] <troythetechguy> norbert79: Thank you.
[13:27] <orgthingy> http://pastebin.com/d63e8dbe6 anybody? I usually have a "Root Terminal" in my gnome-menu and double click it to launch it
[13:28] <orgthingy> but http://pastebin.com/d63e8dbe6 just started today
[13:28] <skream> iko: where can i find info on that?
[13:28] <orgthingy> which is quite weird i guess
[13:28] <everettz> dr_willis: It is a gnome package, gnome-orca.  Same development cycle as gnome.  Might be able to get it to work on another desktop, but it would be a great deal of work and basically a fork of the development process.
[13:28] <ikonia> skream: https://help.ubuntu.com
[13:29] <skream> im shooting you the bird right now
[13:29] <ikonia> skream: why ?
[13:30] <dr_willis> skream,  the unetbootin  tool can make live-thumbdrives from many disrtos/cd/iso files
[13:30] <skream> thank you sir
[13:31] <teross> where to see the full list of all monitors that are supported? or its the video card drivers that supports monitors?

[13:34] <teross> ikonia i have no idea how to install monitor drivers..if i see the list..there is no such model..
[13:34] <ikonia> teross: you don't need monitor drivers
[13:34] <Guest94970> i found it!
[13:34] <ikonia> teross: can you explain the problem
[13:35] <Guest94970> no it is hard!

[13:36] <Guest94970> why doesent my amsn work??
[13:37] <ikonia> teross: have you tried the hardware drivers gui in system -> administation menu
[13:37] <ikonia> Guest94970: what do you mean doesn't work, does it not connect ?
[13:37] <teross> i dont need for games.. i need only so pc can work fluently, firefox not laging, youtube not laging, movies not laging..
[13:37] <ermoved> Guest94970, If you don't get an answer wait, and rephrase the question.  In your case, it is hard to tell because you're not providing any information.
[13:37] <ikonia> teross: have you tried the hardware drivers gui in system -> administation menu
[13:37] <yogi192> if ubuntu desktop has all the server utilities/apps/ etc, why is there a server edition other than not having X installed?
[13:37] <Guest94970> no i click on it and it starts loading and than i stooops
[13:37] <ikonia> yogi192: it's optimised for enterprise hardware
[13:38] <Guest94970> do anny of u have amsn?
[13:38] <yogi192> true, didn't think of that, so for a home server, desktop edition is fine, right
[13:38] <ikonia> Guest94970: so the application never actually appears on screen ?
[13:38] <ikonia> yogi192: %150
[13:38] <yogi192> sweet thanks
[13:39] <teross> im sorry ikonia im on kubuntu.. i choose kubuntu only because of quanta plus.. but the recomended drivers are vesa.. i dont want to experiment much, because i dont want to get black screen :)
[13:39] <samphippen> i have added a language file to /usr/share/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs however when I open up source files that match that languge, i do not get syntax highlighting, is there anything else I need to do?
[13:39] <ikonia> teross: ahhh I don't k now what the kde version of the driver tool is, maybe someone on #kubuntu may know easier, or a kde user in here

[13:43] <MrHankey> yes!
[13:44] <ikonia> MrHankey: ok, open a terminal from the application -> accessories menu and type amsn
[13:44] <ikonia> MrHankey: paste any text you get in that termainl window to an ubuntu pastebin
[13:44] <ikonia> !pastebin > MrHankey
[13:44] <MrHankey> i have aleredy tried!
[13:44] <ikonia> MrHankey: what happens ?
[13:44] <MrHankey> the same!
[13:45] <ikonia> MrHankey: what text do you get in that window
[13:45] <MrHankey> none
[13:45] <ikonia> MrHankey: so you type "amsn" and you get no output in the window
[13:46] <MrHankey> exacly!
[13:46] <ikonia> MrHankey: I find that unusual that you get no text output in the terminal window, I'd expect at least some thing
[13:47] <MrHankey> ikonia, i type in "amsn" and than i press enter and it just jump down a line!
[13:48] <ikonia> MrHankey: it should not jump down a line, it should either get text output, or not get a prompt back
[13:48] <norbert79> MrHankey: Is AMSN right now running? "ps -ef | grep amsn"

[13:51] <Coggz> fosco_: ok, do i need winbind?
[13:51] <hspaans> Coggz: search for insserv it can do some parallel starting during your boot
[13:51] <Bormy> an ubuntu newbie user
[13:51] <HomingHamster> theunixgeek, are you talking about wine?
[13:51] <fosco_> Coggz: only if you are in a windows net
[13:51] <RomD> is there any way to lock nvidia-setting's XVideoSnycToDisplay? I have a dual monitor setup and want to sync twinview to the refresh rate of monitor two. however, XVideoSyncToDisplay keeps getting reset to sync to monitor one when I restart X.

[13:51] <theunixgeek> norbert79: I don't think so
[13:51] <norbert79> !medibuntu
[13:51] <fosco_> MrHankey: sudo apt-get remove amsn
[13:51] <Coggz> fosco_: ah, yes i am, so ill keep it.
[13:51] <theunixgeek> I believe it ends with the number 2
[13:51] <theunixgeek> the name of the program
[13:52] <theunixgeek> it's a separate application, not a synaptic repository
[13:52] <Coggz> ok, timidity?
[13:52] <hspaans> Coggz: search for "debian insserv" on google

[13:52] <theunixgeek> HomingHamster: it has nothing to do with Windows apps
[13:53] <hspaans> Bormy: basicly no
[13:53] <theunixgeek> norbert79: it's not a repository; it's an application that ends with the number 2 :P
[13:53] <HomingHamster> theunixgeek, oh, sorry :P
[13:53] <norbert79> theunixgeek: Medbuntu is a REPO for applications like Google earth
[13:53] <Funes> umm at the risk of spamming.. could someone kindly tell me how to change the real name section on my irc whois. using xchat. tried changing my $IRCNAME env var. doesn't seem to help. :S
[13:53] <byran> is there an app that will join any open wifi network in range?
[13:53] <MrHankey> are there anny other good "chatt" clients forubuntu?
[13:53] <norbert79> theunixgeek: What exactly are you talking about? Medibuntu is a repository
[13:53] <Coggz> fosco_: is timidity needed?
[13:53] <theunixgeek> It's an application, not a repository
[13:53] <theunixgeek> but I'll look into Medibuntu anyway
[13:53] <memphis> MrHankey, try pidgin
[13:53] <HomingHamster> Funes, booblaa
[13:53] <fosco_> Coggz: not sure, i do not have this service
[13:54] <RomD> MrHankey, pidgin for instant messengers, xchat for irc
[13:54] <norbert79> theunixgeek: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu Try to read first, and give comments AFTER it
[13:54] <MrHankey> pidgin sucks!
[13:54] <jopk> hi
[13:54] <Coggz> fosco_: ok, ill google it some more.
[13:54] <RomD> how's that MrHankey ?
[13:54] <theunixgeek> norbert79: like I said, I was referring to an application, not a repoistory
[13:54] <jarod_>  hi all i wanted to request help my eth1 card does not come online i installed dhcp3 to no avail does it hand out adresses
[13:54] <norbert79> theunixgeek: Ok, but what application?
[13:54] <MrHankey> it is lame and i don like the look oof it!
[13:54] <theunixgeek> norbert79: that's what I'm asking! ;)
[13:54] <HomingHamster> we need a google that googles for Regular expressions
[13:55] <norbert79> theunixgeek: What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[13:55] <MrHankey> but i do not want anything else then amsn
[13:55] <memphis> MrHankey, try a reinstall of the program just to make sure
[13:55] <MrHankey> i have done t 4 times!!
[13:55] <theunixgeek> norbert79: I want to find out the name of a certain application that allows one to easily install certain 3rd party apps (included with the app); I forgot the name of it, except I remember that its name ends with the number 2
[13:56] <norbert79> theunixgeek: I think I know what the name of that tool was, but thats way outdated...
[13:56] <Coggz> hspaans: i cant find anything useful on insserv
[13:56] <norbert79> theunixgeek: I used to use it
[13:56] <jopk> yesterday i've asked here for help because my audacity didn't start any more (and there was no error message). Now I've just found out, that if I start audacity and switch the laptop to standby and back, audacity's form is there as usual! Any ideas how to get the audacity without the "standby hack" ?
[13:56] <theunixgeek> norbert79: oh, it's outdadted
[13:56] <theunixgeek> norbert79: :P I didn't know that
[13:56] <norbert79> theunixgeek: You can also use medibuntu and getdeb.net too
[13:56] <memphis> MrHankey, did you move it to another virtual desktop and forget it there?
[13:56] <Funes> ah well. thank you and have a nice evening.
[13:56] <norbert79> theunixgeek: Depends what application you try to install
[13:57] <theunixgeek> norbert79: I'll just use Medibuntu
[13:57] <MrHankey> no caus than it woud open upp atomaticly!
[13:57] <norbert79> theunixgeek: If you would name the exact application, I might give you a hint
[13:57] <HomingHamster> norbert79, i'm curious now, what was the name|
[13:57] <bitannihilator42> heylo, i've run into a bit of a snag
[13:57] <norbert79> HomingHamster: Can't recall, havent used it for years
[13:57] <theunixgeek> norbert79: I said I *want to know the name of the app*
[13:57] <theunixgeek> :P
[13:57] <HomingHamster> norbert79, OH NO!! :P
[13:57] <theunixgeek> I forgot it too, that's what I asked earlier

[14:03] <HomingHamster> Hello, I have two virtual Ethernet interfaces (both working) and would like to know how I can use one of the interfaces for web traffic for IRC traffic (etc.), i have had very little luck googleing it because i don't know the name...
[14:03] <ermoved> MrHankey, open up Synaptic and search for "chat."
[14:03] <jarod_>  hi all i wanted to request help my eth1 card does not come online i installed dhcp3 to no avail does it hand out adresses
[14:03] <jopk> I've a problem with audacity: if I start it the process runs normal but nothing is shown. If I switch the laptop to standby and recover, the audacity application is drawn as usual. so for some reasen audacity's interface isn't drawn right away. any ideas why?
[14:03] <bitannihilator42> mine went poof and no longer exists
[14:03] <evilx> Where does the source list go?
[14:03] <HomingHamster> **use the other for IRC**

[14:04] <xjunior> how do I upgrade my ubuntu from 8.04 to 8.10 ?
[14:04] <ardchoille> !upgrade | xjunior
[14:04] <norbert79> jopk: Audacity uses a different method, than GTK, that what might cause the problem... Just shut down audacity after the re-hibernation process, and restart audacity
[14:04] <xjunior> thank you!
[14:05] <habit> Hello. I need some application for burn audio cd. Brasero is not able to burn cd's.
[14:05] <habit> Tells me about 0 bytes is free on disk.
[14:05] <JMS32> http://picbite.com/image/14385wgolm/ Why? And how to fix it whiout windows?
[14:05] <jopk> norbert79, sry, what is "re-hibernation"
[14:05] <habit> With all of disks.
[14:06] <norbert79> jopk: I meant when your laptop reawakens from the hibaernation
[14:06] <Slart> habit: have you tried using k3b? any other burning software?
[14:06] <stephans> I need to change a disk label in ubuntu. How do I do that?
[14:06] <norbert79> habit: You might lack of mp3 support, I guess, use medibuntu's repos for mp3 support
[14:06] <MrHankey> i do not find anything like amsn
[14:06] <Slart> stephans: e2label for ext3/2
[14:06] <stephans> I suse I can use yast to change it.
[14:06] <Slart> stephans: there are other utils for other file systems
[14:06] <stephans> e2label
[14:06] <habit> norbert79, nope, it's all ok, problem is with burning as I said
[14:07] <JMS32> no ideas?
[14:07] <habit> Slart, nope, I'll try now.
[14:07] <jopk> norbert79, after standby audacity is shown. If i close it and start it again, it won't be shown until next re-hibernation
[14:07] <Nahuel1> Hello, i buy a SATA DVD burner, it have no problem reading discs but it don't pass any data verification after a burning session with K3B. Is there a solution? wich is the problem in linux with SATA DVD drives?
[14:07] <norbert79> JMS32: You will need windows for this
[14:07] <MrHankey> give ne un example for what i can use insad of amsn (not pidgin)
[14:07] <norbert79> JMS32: there are no open source tools which can replace windows chkdsk
[14:08] <JMS32> realy bad...
[14:08] <xjunior> ardchoille, dude, there isn't a "software sources" menu.....
[14:08] <norbert79> MrHankey: Kopete
[14:08] <MrHankey> norber, what?
[14:08] <methaniga1> 5V3n
[14:08] <ardchoille> xjunior: ?
[14:08] <norbert79> MrHankey: Kopete
[14:08] <Slart> JMS32: you might, perhaps, be able to fix it from a vm.. not sure though
[14:08] <MrHankey> whwt is kopete?
[14:09] <norbert79> !kopete  | MrHankey
[14:09] <onlymealone> Is it possible to get latest software releases via synpatic? via changing software sources?
[14:09] <norbert79> onlymealone: You might try getdeb.net
[14:10] <xjunior> ardchoille, I have only "update manager" and synaptic
[14:10] <JMS32> norbert79, i m must write this command in terminal in windows, write?
[14:10] <jopk> norbert79, I still didn't get it. how can I fix it?
[14:10] <norbert79> JMS32: In Windows, open up Command prompt, (cmd.exe) then type chkdsk /f
[14:10] <habit> How to add mp3 support to K3B?
[14:10] <norbert79> JMS32: it will ask if after the next restart it shall run chkdsk or not
[14:10] <ermoved> onlymealone, you'll get the "newest" software package put together by the repository maintenance crew.  for newer software, try sourceforge, getdeb, or the software website
[14:10] <JMS32> and why i must reboot twice in windows?
[14:11] <norbert79> !Medibuntu | habitz
[14:11] <norbert79> !Medibuntu | habit

[14:13] <JMS32> ext3 will be good for films?
[14:13] <norbert79> !es
[14:13] <onlymealone> ermoved, i downloaded netbeans 6.5 from its website, but getting laf bug
[14:13] <norbert79> JMS32: Yes
[14:13] <Slart> JMS32: it will be fine.. it's a good general purpose fs
[14:13] <Stormx2> JMS32, yeah, fine. But if you want the partition accessible from both windows and ntfs, and it's not ubuntu's root partition, I'd recommend NTFS
[14:13] <norbert79> JMS32: Here, this is the ext3 driver for Windows: http://www.fs-driver.org/
[14:13] <norbert79> Stormx2: http://www.fs-driver.org/
[14:14] <norbert79> I use it daily, works perfect
[14:14] <Stormx2> No, it doesn't
[14:14] <Stormx2> It doesn't have proper journaling support
[14:14] <norbert79> So?
[14:14] <Stormx2> So it's not perfect.
[14:14] <Stormx2> The support on Ubuntu for NTFS is better than the support on Windows for ext3.
[14:14] <JMS32> ш ь вщте туув ощгктфдштп ащк ьн ашдьы
[14:14] <norbert79> Even better, This is why I use ext2 on my Eee
[14:14] <Stormx2> Hence you should use NTFS for shared partitions.
[14:14] <JMS32> *i m dotn need journaling for my files
[14:15] <norbert79> See? He doesn't need it neither
[14:15] <Stormx2> Yes you do if you want to avoid corruption.
[14:15] <JMS32> ok. i will use ntfs
[14:15] <xjunior> Hi, can somebody help me? I haven't the "Software Sources" menu option. I want to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10
[14:15] <davidw> xjunior, beware!
[14:15] <norbert79> Stormx2: Like journaling would save yo8u from that... If you are such a poaranoid, use reiserfs
[14:15] <Nahuel1>  Hello, i buy a SATA DVD burner, it have no problem reading discs but it don't pass any data verification after a burning session with K3B. Is there a solution? wich is the problem in linux with SATA DVD drives?
[14:15] <davidw> xjunior, do you *need* to upgrade for any reason?
[14:15] <OCB> Hi, all... I've started using Ubuntu Intrepid, mainly for the HSDPA dongle support, but it's running very very slowly, windows keep greying out (Firefox, Psi, XChat mostly) and the whole system is very slow. It wasn't like this when I first installed, it's happened pretty much today, although I had similar experiences when I tried it a few months ago. Is this a known problem?
[14:15] <xjunior> davidw, no, I just want
[14:16] <davidw> xjunior, I would avoid it and wait for the next one.  Intrepid has a lot of regressions
[14:16] <JMS32> nahueli, i have it too, but havenot problems
[14:16] <bitannihilator42> i need a replacement /etc/ppp/options file for 7.04
[14:16] <Stormx2> norbert79, what advantage does using ext3 on both ubuntu and windows give over using NTFS on both ubuntu and windows? Both ext3 and NTFS are robust and mature filesystems. If you want to go without journaling you might as well use FAT.
[14:16] <hspaans> norbert79: reiserfs is a dead end, please do not advise it
[14:16] <bitannihilator42> does anyone know where i can get one?
[14:16] <norbert79> Stormx2: 1. You don't need Windows for reparing an ext3. Period.
[14:17] <xjunior> davidw, hummm what kind of regressions?
[14:17] <Stormx2> If you're going to use both, you're going to need to boot into one OS or the other to repair it, so that doesn't make any difference.
[14:17] <Bormy1> I love ubuntu....Happy New Year 2009
[14:17] <OCB> I just wish Intrepid didn't keep freezing!
[14:17] <OCB> WEll.
[14:17] <OCB> Lagging, not freezing.
[14:18] <davidw> xjunior, well, wireless broke for a lot of people, bluetooth, multimedia keys on laptops... a lot of it depends on your specific setup, of course, but there are a lot of bugs that weren't there in 8.04
[14:18] <WastePotato> Hi. Does anyone know if I can get rar unpacking abilities in Interpid?

[14:18] <Varanger> hi
[14:18] <mick02> Happy Christmas folks, just wondering if anyone can help me out with a problem I'm having. Everytime I open Firefox it covers the top toolbar and I can't manage to see the minimise, maximise or close buttons to resize the window. I've tried setting the top bar to auto hise and then changed it back, I've also looked in the preferences for Firefox and I can't see anything there either. It's pretty annoying so if anyone can suggest something I'd appreciate it
[14:18] <OCB> waste, sudo apt-get install unrar then the gui will open rars.
[14:18] <Varanger> does anyone know any good Anjuta manual for Ubuntu?
[14:18] <bitannihilator42> i need a replacement /etc/ppp/options file for 7.04, does anyone know where i can get one?

[14:19] <davidw> xjunior, one think you could do is boot from the intrepid live CD, see if it works, and if it does, then upgrade
[14:20] <Slart> !rar | WastePotato
[14:20] <xjunior> davidw, I don't use bluetooth, media keys or wireless on this computer, do you think that I might have any other problem?
[14:20] <iceman_> whats the german channel for ubuntu
[14:20] <Slart> MrHankey: go to #ubuntu-se, as you've been told many times
[14:20] <Slart> !de | iceman_
[14:20] <davidw> xjunior, no idea - the live cd option is probably the best way to see for yourself
[14:21] <ardchoille> mick02: you can use alt+f8 to resize a windows or alt+left click to move it
[14:21] <xjunior> davidw, ok, but then, after, in case that I decide to update, how do I do if I haven't the "Software Sources" menu?
[14:21] <bitannihilator42> i need a replacement /etc/ppp/options file for 7.04, does anyone know where i can get one?
[14:21] <davidw> xjunior, I do it from the command line
[14:22] <davidw> you can google 'command line upgrade intrepid' or something like that and find the specific instructions
[14:22] <xjunior> davidw, which is a better option :D
[14:22] <cmv583> is there a way to forward prots in ubuntu or is that router based?
[14:22] <cmv583> ports
[14:23] <Slart> cmv583: forwarding ports have to been at the router.. if ubuntu is your router it can do it

[14:34] <damo22> is there a simple command to compare directory structure of 2 directories and check for similarity?

[14:35] <blafasel> Hi there. What's the best way to get a kernel patch into the official kernel tree? Opening a bug, refering to the kernel.org bugzilla? Something else? Patience? :)
[14:35] <norbert79> Pirate_Hunter: after the modification
[14:35] <norbert79> blafasel: Launchpad would be a good idea
[14:35] <blafasel> official kernel tree = ubuntu kernel stuff

[14:49] <bitannihilator42> all give me 404
[14:49] <jchambers> Nope doesn't do it in Windows
[14:49] <joaopinto> recon69, you must check at the medibuntu page, they must provide the instructions for setup their repository...

[14:49] <jchambers> Seems like something keeps polling to look for connections
[14:49] <ardchoille> bitannihilator42: feisty is EOL so the package archive has been moved to the archive area
[14:49] <c0p3rn11> how do you type  é,î,à, ... with a querty keyboard ?
[14:50] <bitannihilator42> where is that?

[14:50] <aoupi_> hi, how do I change the keymap gdm uses? (it's using dvorak but there is no longer any dvorak user on the system)
[14:50] <wanglei> 我靠你妈
[14:50] <norbert79> aoupi_: System/preferences/keyboard
[14:50] <Slart> !cn | wanglei
[14:50] <ardchoille> bitannihilator42: I'm not sure, but EOL means it no longer gets bug fixes and security updates, you might want to upgrade
[14:50] <c0p3rn11> joaopinto: then I get `a
[14:51] <joaopinto> c0p3rn11, that is because your keyboard is not properly setup
[14:51] <srdgame> wanglei: -_-!
[14:51] <aoupi_> norbert79: I've been there and even clicked "apply system wide" and restarted gdm, doesn't help
[14:51] <bitannihilator42> i probably will after/if i cant fix this
[14:51] <bitannihilator42> !upgrade
[14:51] <norbert79> aoupi_: Did you also select the "default layout" for your layout?
[14:51] <c0p3rn1c> joaopinto: how do I set it up to type these symbols?
[14:51] <joaopinto> c0p3rn1c, you need to select the keymap matching your kbd language, is is not just about "querty"
[14:51] <aoupi_> norbert79: there was only one, tried clicking but it did nothing
[14:52] <NineTails> hello
[14:52] <joaopinto> c0p3rn1c, on my case I use such symbols, with a portuguese keyboard
[14:52] <c0p3rn1c> joaopinto: I'm using them because I'm learning french
[14:52] <norbert79> aoupi_: Check your current layout again, I am sure you have the right one selected right now
[14:52] <joaopinto> c0p3rn1c, selecting another querty layout for a keyboard from a language which does not use them, will not work, you need to know your kbd layout
[14:52] <seanw> Hey all
[14:52] <seanw> My ubuntu server's clock is about 40 mins wrong and ntpdate doesn't fix it.
[14:53] <seanw> The clock just doesn't alter.
[14:53] <seanw> Any ideas?
[14:53] <c0p3rn1c> joaopinto: ok I'll try
[14:53] <norbert79> seanw: Select the NTP service inside the clock settings
[14:53] <norbert79> seanw: Also called time-service
[14:53] <seanw> norbert79, what do you mean? I note I'm on a server, hence only cli.
[14:53] <NineTails> dunno
[14:53] <norbert79> seanw: I see...
[14:54] <seanw> ntpd was running but it wasn't updating so I killed it.
[14:54] <norbert79> bad idea
[14:54] <norbert79> :)
[14:54] <seanw> heh
[14:54] <seanw> I can start it again
[14:54] <bitannihilator42> apparently the feisty pkgs arent in the archives
[14:54] <norbert79> select a different ntp server then
[14:54] <yogi192> anyone suggest a good snmp trap gui application?  i just want an app that can receive snmp traps from hardware devices(non - pc's)
[14:54] <seanw> But it isn't doing a lot.
[14:54] <seanw> norbert79, I get this though which syuggests the server is fine: 30 Dec 15:34:11 ntpdate[19801]: step time server 91.189.94.4 offset -2447.245363 sec
[14:54] <HomingHamster> what can i install to make rhythem box recgonise and play wma files? i thought i hd it done, but it won't work...
[14:54] <joaopinto> c0p3rn1c, I believe the proper term for what you are trying to achieve is "dead keys"
[14:54] <istvan_> does anyone know of a good php irc chat, or if someone can help me can you start a private chat with me?
[14:54] <aoupi_> norbert79: still doesnt work probably some gconf-only thing, Ill try looking there
[14:55] <joaopinto> you want to turn your symbol keys into dead keys, meaning they will not produce a char until they are followed by another key
[14:55] <joaopinto> !ot | istvan_
[14:55] <c0p3rn1c> joaopinto: is there any easy way in switching between layouts?
[14:56] <rostaman> I'm about to purchase a new HP or laptop and am going to blast Windoze and go Ubuntu...can I be confident that wi-fi will work with most new HP NICs?

[14:56] <Ubuntu_Cookies> My LiveCD wont play sound
[14:56] <Ubuntu_Cookies> please fix
[14:56] <Roland123> anyone care to guess, if this keyboard works with linux? (The only place i found any mention of it was in a keytouch package) >> http://www.speed-link.com/?p=2&cat=141&pid=2415&paus=1
[14:56] <joaopinto> c0p3rn1c, now that I am reading about the "dead keys", you should just keep your regular layout (matching your regular keyboard), but instead enable the dead keys functionality
[14:57] <joaopinto> c0p3rn1c, check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=276079
[14:57] <c0p3rn1c> joaopinto: ok thx
[14:57] <Ubuntu_Cookies> what about my ?
[14:57] <HomingHamster> what can i install to make rhythem box recgonise and play wma files? i thought i hd it done, but it won't work...
[14:58] <dr_willis> Roland123,  looks like a normal usb keyboard to me...
[14:59] <recon69> could someone paste a copy of the /etc/apt/sources.list from ubuntu 8.10 plz? I change it without a backup :(
[14:59] <luckyone> hello all - before I pull the trigger on this ATI video card... I want to ask one more time for people's opinion
[14:59] <yogi192> if i copy it, will it be considered spam?
[14:59] <Slart> yogi192: only if you paste it here.. use a pastebin
[15:00] <Slart> !paste | yogi192
[15:00] <Roland123> dr_willis: i hope you're correct, or someone will receive a nice new-years present
[15:00] <c0p3rn1c> joaopinto: ok thanks it worked!
[15:00] <joaopinto> c0p3rn1c, great :)
[15:00] <dr_willis> Roland123,  its says its USB.. why do you think linux would have any problem with it?
[15:00] <yogi192> ok, let me read up on how to do it, so we keep this polite :-)
[15:00] <qdb> hello
[15:01] <qdb> what port uses updates program to get packet new modifications
[15:01] <c0p3rn1c> joaopinto: I will pass it forward later :)
[15:01] <KiNnaZ> qdb http
[15:02] <qdb> information about new packet. ok kinaz
[15:02] <qdb> kinnaz
[15:02] <KiNnaZ> i think atleast, if not then rsync
[15:02] <joaopinto> it uses whatever is setup on your repository for the updates source, either http or ftp
[15:02] <qdb> ok
[15:02] <bitannihilator42> ok i managed to reinstall ppp, but the options file is still not there
[15:03] <qdb> joaopinto it has not worked with http i think
[15:03] <yogi192> recon69: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96015/
[15:03] <yogi192> i hope i did it correct
[15:03] <Roland123> dr_willis: i don't know if it'll have problems... some hardware just won't work out-of-box nicely
[15:04] <recon69> yogi192: thx :)
[15:04] <dr_willis> Roland123,  ive yet to find a keyboard that dident work.    Webcams.. yes..  ps2/usb keyboards.. no...
[15:05] <yogi192> you're welcome
[15:05] <hanasaki> what package do I install to get php support in apache2?
[15:05] <Roland123> dr_willis: nice to know that, thanx
[15:05] <c0p3rn1c> hanasaki: aptitude search php
[15:05] <teimu> hi #ubuntu. i awoke this morning to find my computer unresponsive, even after several operations that usually work (some ctrl-alt-... commands). the power button wouldn't work either. where can i find the logs that would deal with a system-wide, presumably hardware-related failure?
[15:06] <joaopinto> teimu, /var/log/messages
[15:06] <dr_willis> Roland123,  only issue ive had with keyboards and some old machines is that the bios/grub menus may not like a usb keyboard.. thus i always keep around a PS2 keyboard
[15:06] <teimu> thanks, joaopinto
[15:06] <bitannihilator42> o great now i cant upgrade to 7.10
[15:06] <bitannihilator42> http://paste.ubuntu.com/96016/
[15:07] <c0p3rn1c> hanasaki: php5
[15:07] <hanasaki> c0p3rn1c: hmm looks installed.  i installed roundcube however apache is serving the php pages content directly to my browser.
[15:07] <hwilde> Suferr1ngLinUX, you can turn off that autogreeter please
[15:07] <thiebaude> lol
[15:08] <c0p3rn1c> hanasaki: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server
[15:08] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades bitannihilator42
[15:08] <joaopinto> hanasaki, if you are using firefox there is a known caching "feature" causing that, you will need to clear firefox's cache first
[15:08] <hwilde> !lamp > hanasaki
[15:08] <c0p3rn1c> hanasaki: don't forget to restart your apache server
[15:08] <bitannihilator42> bazhang:thats what i did, the pastebin is what i got back from clicking upgrade
[15:08] <joaopinto> assuming you have libapache2-mod-php5 installed
[15:08] <ardchoille> is there a mutt command that instructs mutt to start up, list new emails and exit? Or is there a way to have mutt check for new mail while it's running? I currently have mutt setup for gmail (imap).
[15:09] <joaopinto> c0p3rn1c, the module install package takes care of that :)
[15:09] <yogi192> i've read on the vim documentation that inserting syntax on in my .vimrc file that it would turn on syntax highlighting, but i keep getting the command is not available in this version
[15:09] <ryan__> I feel like this is a dumb question but in terminal how can i search a folder for all files that DONT have a certian extention
[15:09] <bazhang> bitannihilator42, you need to read the link and modify your sources.list as indicated
[15:09] <c0p3rn1c> joaopinto: ic
[15:09] <bitannihilator42> i did....
[15:09] <dr_willis> yogi192,  you did install the vim-full package? the default is vim-tiny that does NOT have that feature enabled
[15:09] <joaopinto> ryan__, find /path ! -name "*.ext"
[15:09] <KurtKraut> How can I list iptable rules on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex ?
[15:09] <bazhang> bitannihilator42, no you did not
[15:10] <bitannihilator42> http://paste.ubuntu.com/96021/ , yes,i did
[15:10] <ryan__> joaopinto: thanks i knew it was dumb i forgot about the !
[15:10] <yogi192> dr_willis: good point, i had vim-tiny installed
[15:11] <yogi192> installing vim-full
[15:11] <c0p3rn1c> KurtKraut: there is a nice gui interface for that, called firestarter
[15:11] <bitannihilator42> now what?
[15:11] <dr_willis> yogi192,  :) i also edit the /etc/whatever/vimrc to enable syntax and  a few other settings i always want on by default
[15:13] <Lasivian> is there any way to export my panel settings to another machine?
[15:13] <yogi192> dr_willis: changing it in /etc/vim/vimrc makes it global, so every users gets those settings if they don't have a .vimrc file?
[15:13] <dr_willis> yogi192,  yep. :)
[15:13] <yogi192> dr_willis, sweet
[15:13] <hanasaki> looks like the install of php did not put anything in mods-available or mods-enabled
[15:13] <dr_willis> yogi192,  theres some features in there i perfer.. but i am the only user. :)
[15:14] <bitannihilator42> anyone?
[15:14] <c0p3rn1c> Lasivian: these settings are stored somewhere in your home directory, ~/.gnome I guess
[15:14] <theunixgeek> How do I enable the desktop cube in Intrepid? Is there something I need to install?
[15:14] <Ubuntu_Cookies> is  suferr1ngLinUX  a bot?
[15:14] <dr_willis> !cube
[15:15] <theunixgeek> Ubuntu_Cookies: yes
[15:15] <Ubuntu_Cookies> k
[15:15] <preacher> i've got the intrepid iso how can i put it on a usb jump drive to boot from that instead of a cd
[15:15] <theunixgeek> preacher: burn it to a CD first
[15:15] <preacher> i want to try it on my acer aspire one netbook
[15:15] <Ubuntu_Cookies> then copy the files
[15:15] <theunixgeek> preacher: then go to System > Administration > Create USB boot disk
[15:15] <bitannihilator42> anyone have any suggestions?
[15:15] <theunixgeek> *startup disk
[15:15] <bazhang> !test
[15:15] <yogi192> global syntax highliting muahahahaha lol
[15:16] <hanasaki> php5 install put files in mods-available but not mods-enabled.. is this normal?
[15:16] <bazhang> bitannihilator42, your sources.list are wrong. fix them and then upgrade
[15:16] <yogi192> theunixgeek, the cube option is hiden in the latest version
[15:16] <bitannihilator42> bazhang:how
[15:16] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades bitannihilator42
[15:16] <yogi192> i know becuase i spent an hour looking for it lol
[15:16] <Lasivian> preacher: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L is what I used on my Aspire One
[15:16] <Lasivian> worked great
[15:17] <Lasivian> c0p3rn1c: thanks
[15:17] <preacher> lasivian: how did it work
[15:17] <pikario> hi, what is the difference between VMware, Qemu, and Virtualbox?
[15:17] <preacher> i got the win xp version but want to switch
[15:17] <hanasaki> looks like a php install bug
[15:18] <Lasivian> preacher: terrific, I have a 110L myself and it's pretty nice
[15:18] <theunixgeek> pikario: they're different emulators
[15:18] <Lasivian> preacher: the major limitations are the built0in mic and the headphones won't work at the same time, and I had some trouble with the webcam
[15:18] <pikario> how do they compare?
[15:19] <bitannihilator42> the instructions from the page you linked: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96025/   my sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96021/   tell me where exactly is that wrong?
[15:19] <theunixgeek> pikario: I'd recommend VMware Workstation out of all of those
[15:19] <theunixgeek> pikario: VirtualBox second, and QEMU last (unless you have a GUI for it)
[15:19] <c0p3rn1c> Lasivian:you're welcome, "pass it forward", not sure about the directory but as far as I know all settings are stored into your home directory
[15:19] <pikario> but it's not free/open source, right?
[15:19] <pikario> (vmware)
[15:19] <theunixgeek> no, just QEMU
[15:19] <theunixgeek> not sure about VirtualBox, though
[15:19] <norbert79> theunixgeek: And Virtualbox
[15:19] <dr_willis> I like VIrtualbox. :)
[15:20] <pikario> you mean i have to pay to get a linux program?!
[15:20] <norbert79> theunixgeek: But OS version of Virtualbox lacks of proper USB support
[15:20] <theunixgeek> pikario: some yes, but neither of those!
[15:20] <bazhang> bitannihilator42, the ones that are not old-releases.ubuntu.com are wrong
[15:20] <pikario> i mean vmware !
[15:20] <theunixgeek> pikario: free as in freedom or price?
[15:20] <norbert79> pikario: LOL, does it surprise you? What did youn think? Open Source means not for FREE :)
[15:20] <theunixgeek> pikario: vmware is free as in price
[15:20] <preacher> lasivian: thanks i'll give it a try - i don't use mic and cam much anyway
[15:20] <theunixgeek> pikario: vmware is not free as in freedom
[15:20] <norbert79> pikario: take RedHat
[15:20] <pikario> oh..
[15:20] <frostburn> virtualbox is great if you don't need to migrate any servers from a standalone vmware workstation image to an esx server or vice versa
[15:20] <raisin> Can anyone here explain how exactly do I enable nvidia tv-out on ubuntu intrepid?
[15:20] <norbert79> pikario: Thats Opensource too, but not for free
[15:20] <bitannihilator42> i followed the instructions to the T on the upgrade site.....
[15:21] <bazhang> bitannihilator42, then your sources would be correct, but they are not.
[15:21] <theunixgeek> pikario: free software (as in freedom) may be gratis (free as in price) or not; the same applies for open source software
[15:21] <frostburn> i.e. virtualbox is great standalone =]
[15:21] <pikario> so vmware is free but not open, qemu is open and free, and virtualbox is ???
[15:21] <bitannihilator42> so just delete everything else then your saying?
[15:21] <norbert79> pikario: It has a closed solurce version and an opensource too
[15:21] <bazhang> bitannihilator42, the link says exactly what to do.
[15:21] <frostburn> pikario, free and open, compiled binaries on site are not free for non personal use
[15:22] <norbert79> pikario: Closed source and the open source are free, but opensource version lacks USB support
[15:22] <bitannihilator42> i did exactly what it said
[15:22] <neeto> does anyone know anything about swami? I can't get it to output any sound...
[15:22] <UserC> Can anyone here explain how exactly do I enable nvidia tv-out on ubuntu intrepid?
[15:22] <bitannihilator42> see the pastebin, it says just add the 3 old-releases lines
[15:22] <shakesbier> hello, could u help me to find a way to minimize xchat to tray
[15:23] <bitannihilator42> which is exacly what i did
[15:23] <norbert79> shakesbier: Click on the X-Chat icon
[15:23] <onetinsoldier> bitannihilator42: what version were you hoping to eventually upgrade to?
[15:23] <norbert79> shakesbier: On your tray
[15:23] <bitannihilator42> 8.10
[15:23] <bitannihilator42> i have no blanks either
[15:23] <shakesbier> it quits on "x"-click
[15:23] <norbert79> shakesbier: Click on the X-Chat icon on the tray...
[15:23] <pikario> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware <-- this says VMware workstation requires a paid license to use, is that true?
[15:24] <grobda24> UserC, here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/search.html?cx=003883529982892832976%3Ae2vwumte3fq&cof=FORID%3A9&ie=UTF-8&q=nvidia+tv+out&sa=Search
[15:24] <bazhang> bitannihilator42, you need to remove everything but those old-releases.ubuntu.com ones, as indicated in the link.
[15:24] <onetinsoldier> bitannihilator42: roger. have you considered just installing 8.10 clean and fresh?
[15:24] <norbert79> pikario: VMware yes... Vmware server also has a license, and needs a key, but you get it for free
[15:25] <bitannihilator42> bazhang:quote me the line where it says remove everything else
[15:25] <popey> i have just booted a kubuntu 8.10 cd on my desktop and I get a logon screen.. kdm. if i logon with username ubuntu, no password it tries to start the session, fails and drops back to kdm.. suggestions?
[15:25] <UserC> grobda24: thanks but that doesn't exactly help me. I wish to get the tv-out option in the movie player to work, i don't have problems with twinview or with displaying a picture on my tv
[15:25] <bitannihilator42> onetinsoldier:my last blank was a bad burn of 8.10 :/
[15:26] <onetinsoldier> bitannihilator42: oh :-(
[15:26] <bitannihilator42> yeah...
[15:26] <norbert79> popey: Are you sure the CD was burned right? Do you have enough RAM?
[15:26] <bitannihilator42> the only good disc i had was a pressed 7.04
[15:26] <popey> norbert79: it's got 2G of ram, and this is a shipit cd
[15:26] <bazhang> bitannihilator42, update your sources.list with a # in front of the dead archives
[15:26] <norbert79> popey: Thats a yes then
[15:26] <bitannihilator42> or that i had readily available
[15:26] <Doonz2> Hey Guys need some help investigating wether my box was comprimised or not
[15:27] <norbert79> popey: Hang on
[15:27]  * popey hangs on
[15:27] <grobda24> UserC, that's not what you asked and you've asked the same thing under a different nick.
[15:27] <norbert79> dont, you might get hurt :)
[15:27] <onetinsoldier> Doonz2: you might read the /var/log/auth.log file
[15:27] <popey> Doonz2: if you have any reason to suspect the box has been compromised you should a) disconnect it from the network, and b) wipe it
[15:28] <popey> generally :)
[15:28] <Doonz2> i was on hfboards.com when i noticed the find bar on the bottom of my firefox web browser start typing commands. i started breaking up the string and then firefox shutdown
[15:28] <popey> sounds like you accidentally activated find Doonz2
[15:28] <UserC> grobda24: oh well that nick was not of my choosing and It kind of annoyed me.. and sorry if it wasn't accurate i thought it was, i'm new to ubuntu and linux in general
[15:29] <neeto> how do I find the location of my sound card?
[15:29] <Ubuntu_Cookies> Bank'd
[15:29] <Ubuntu_Cookies> i want to know too
[15:29] <Doonz2> popey no i didn't it was typing commands and then at the end said "You Got Owned" and the shut down firefox
[15:30] <popey> Doonz2: possibly some malicious javascript on a dodgy site
[15:30] <Ubuntu_Cookies> yeah
[15:30] <grobda24> UserC, OK, the link is still relevant. Goodluck !
[15:30] <Doonz2> hmm looking through my log root logged in
[15:30] <Doonz2> :/
[15:30] <popey> Doonz2: unlikely, thats probably a cron job
[15:30] <onetinsoldier> Doonz2: oh, i suppose it's possible the gained access through web browser. but it sounds like if they did, you stopped them before they could do much of anything
[15:30] <popey> Doonz2: ubuntu doesn't have a root user activated
[15:31] <popey> onetinsoldier: thats a difficult one to call
[15:31] <popey> Doonz2: have you installed all pending security updates?
[15:31] <bitannihilator42> http://paste.ubuntu.com/96033/  now what?
[15:31] <UserC> grobda24: are you sure? i mean my tv output works, i can get the tv screen running and simply drag a file to the seperate monitor but i'm looking for a way to play a video with an output directly to the tv monitor
[15:32] <Doonz2> SHit
[15:32] <grobda24> UserC, sure enough .. just my two cents.
[15:32] <UserC> grobda24: ok, thanks

[15:34] <Guruji> hi thanx,
[15:34] <Guruji> can anyone help me in installing .... squid with delay pools on UBUNTU
[15:34] <norbert79> neeto: Linux works way different, than Windows, there are no device files actually, or not in the same way
[15:34] <tsg_> can someone have a look at this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022453
[15:34] <rblst> !nvidia
[15:35] <Guruji> the command sudu apt-get squid will install the squid but i am unable to set delay pools in it.
[15:35] <bazhang> bitannihilator42, your sources.list should have only those old-releases.ubuntu.com as shown on that link. please update your own list as such then sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:35] <mircmac> So I was fooling around with alsa mixer & gnome-volume-control and now the buttons on the laptop keyboard don't control the sound, popup shows change, volume doesn't change

[15:36] <qdb> i installed new ubuntu 8.10 cd
[15:36] <neeto> norbert79, I am not looking for the module. I already know that. I want to know the path of my soundcard... where it's located in the filesystem.
[15:36] <rblst> i have an nvidia geforce 7 card, i can't set a resolution of 1024x768; if i install closed source drivers, i can change the resolution, but then my gdm screen is shifted; anyone knows how to resolve this?
[15:36] <qdb> and now it says 212 updates
[15:36] <popey> qdb: thats normal
[15:36] <qdb> does somebody has same situation?
[15:36] <norbert79> neeto: I guess that would be /lib/modules as the kernel is stored there partly
[15:36] <byran> is there a way to find the phone number in an mgcp packet??
[15:36] <heath|work> is anyone using awn?
[15:36] <Doonz2> popey i dont remeber
[15:36] <popey> qdb: these are security updates and bug fixes since 8.10 was released, you should install them
[15:36] <bazhang> qdb, sure, the security updates and bug fixes
[15:36] <Doonz2> here is http://paste.ubuntu.com/96036/ <- some of my log
[15:37] <AJC_Z0> mircmac: Are you using pulseadio (default)? I found that the keyboard volume controls change the master volume and do so coarsely, so only register changes between "on" and "off" when the other settings are in a suitable range
[15:37] <cemerick> I'd like to install the server edition + a minimal gnome desktop.  Is it easier to install from the server ISO and then apt-get the desktop, or install the desktop, and apt-get all the server bits?
[15:37] <qdb> in update info > in changes tab it says: no info or unavailable
[15:37] <popey> cemerick: the latter in my opinion
[15:37] <bitannihilator42> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96038/
[15:37] <popey> qdb: yes, sometimes you cant see the changelog
[15:37] <popey> qdb: but you should install the updates regardless
[15:37] <qdb> ok
[15:37] <qdb> i thinked
[15:37] <cemerick> popey: OK
[15:37] <Guruji> !help me plz.
[15:37] <qdb> that is because firewall
[15:37] <Doonz2> popey - i have no outstanding updates waiting to be applied

[15:38] <popey> cemerick: yeah, it will
[15:38] <Doonz2> btw it seems that my log file has had an hour deleted from it
[15:38] <Doonz2> no
[15:38] <popey> Doonz2: where does it say root logged in from?
[15:39] <cemerick> is there an "everything" ISO that will allow me to pick and choose what I want?  Something along the lines of fedora's installs?
[15:39] <Doonz2> it seems like the log stops at 7:30am and its 8:30am
[15:39] <qdb> says "maybe unavail. maybe no changelog" like it uses udp and does not whether it is unavail.

[15:39] <qdb> your channel is scrolling too fast
[15:39] <popey> cemerick: the net install cd in expert mode is probably what you want
[15:39] <qdb> i have an idea
[15:39] <AJC_Z0> Doonz2: Is your time zone set correctly? What does "date" say?
[15:39] <popey> qdb: just apply the updates
[15:39] <bitannihilator42> bazhang: did, this is what i  got http://paste.ubuntu.com/96033/

[15:40] <neeto> norbert79: I'm talking about the file that acts as a frontend to the soundcard... like, if a program asks you for the path to your sound device, how do I find out the path?
[15:40] <qdb> ok
[15:40] <Doonz2> How can i go about changing the root password
[15:40] <popey> Doonz2: you dont
[15:40] <bazhang> Doonz2, dont set it
[15:40] <norbert79> neeto: ah, you are referring to the /dev directory, which is a virtual diorectory
[15:40] <Doonz2> ok
[15:40] <popey> !rootsudo > Doonz2
[15:40] <bitannihilator42> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96041/ now what?
[15:41] <popey> Doonz2: in your log, where do you see root logging in from? what IP or hostname?
[15:41] <Guruji> can anyone help me in installing .... squid with delay pools on UBUNTU
[15:41] <pieces> i downloaded a file to my desktop that i do no want anymore, but when i try to delete with the trash or threw the terminal it will not delete.  I get a message saying cannot remove Is a directory
[15:41] <Guruji> the command sudu apt-get squid will install the squid but i am unable to set delay pools in it.
[15:41] <heath|work> is anyone using the avant window navigator, and if so are you running stacks and have the icons working?
[15:41] <popey> Doonz2: if it's anything _other_ than localhost then there may be an issue
[15:41] <neeto> norbert79: yeah, but /dev/snd is a mess... how do I find out what's what?

[15:41] <bazhang> bitannihilator42, did you place a # in front of the old archives like I recommended?
[15:41] <norbert79> neeto: I am still confused what you are looking for... /dev/snd is ALWAYS the main soundcard
[15:41] <bitannihilator42> yes
[15:42] <Doonz2> and i thought it said it today at 8:13 in the log but now i dont have anything past 7:30 in my log
[15:42] <popey> Doonz2: thats a _failed_ login, not success
[15:42] <Doonz2> yeah but today i mean
[15:42] <neeto> norbert79: what about /dev/dsp?
[15:42] <popey> Doonz2: where is the success logon as root?
[15:42] <Suferr1ngLinUX> Okay I need to sleep
[15:42] <Sala> !bot May i kill you now
[15:42] <bitannihilator42> everything is # out except for the 3 old-releases lines
[15:42] <Doonz2> its gone now from the log
[15:42] <bazhang> bitannihilator42, then change those to gutsy, remove the #, and put a # in front of the old-releases ones
[15:42] <Doonz2> the log is now missing 1 hour
[15:42] <norbert79> neeto: Ehm, I meant /dev/dsp, sorry, have several windows open
[15:42] <rblst> rblst: i solved it, i had to change the Virtual line to the correct resolution in xorg.conf
[15:43] <bitannihilator42> meh stupid nano....
[15:43] <pieces> i downloaded a file to my desktop that i do no want anymore, but when i try to delete with the trash or threw the terminal it will not delete.  I get a message saying cannot remove Is a directory

[15:44] <rockyrock> hi guys, i just installed Ubuntu. What codecs should i download and install so i can run all media formats???? flv, mpeg1234, mp3, wma, wmv....etc all know media formats

[15:45] <qdb> hello
[15:45] <neeto> norbert79: I don't think it's /dev/dsp either... I am using alsa... if that can direct the search to another file in /dev/
[15:45] <aspire> hello
[15:45] <qdb> i installed new ub. 8 10 cd
[15:45] <aspire> I was adviced to do my system upgrade overnight
[15:45] <qdb> there is orca in menu
[15:45] <onetinsoldier> pieces: that mean 'recursive' and 'force'
[15:45] <qdb> but it does not work
[15:45] <norbert79> neeto: I would advise you to try to understand the concept of sound under Linux first...
[15:45] <qdb> terminal opens
[15:46] <qdb> and stays
[15:46] <rockyrock> norbert79: i just want the name of the packages so i can download and install them
[15:46] <AJC_Z0> mircmac: There is probably a better way to tell, but when I run alsamixer I see only one bar for "Card: PulseAudio"
[15:46] <Paradoxx> How do I uninstall flash plugins in firefox?
[15:46] <norbert79> neeto: Alsa is a method, like OSS, and pulseaudio is a daemon
[15:46] <aspire> what happened. the power cut disabled my computer and consequently I am not able to boot it up
[15:46] <qdb> is that a bug?
[15:46] <AJC_Z0> (ESC ESC to exit alsamixer)
[15:46] <aspire> this is a real pain
[15:46] <norbert79> neeto: If you cannot tell the differences, make yourself know with the basics
[15:46] <aspire> I get the the phase of not being able to load X
[15:46] <pieces> ty
[15:47] <Doonz2> ok i think i got it sorted
[15:47] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: dor you have flash plugins installed in dpkg?   dpkg -l '*flash*' | grep '^ii'
[15:47] <aspire> rather then using the boot disk to make a backup and reinstalling the system I would like to know whether it would be possible to fix my system
[15:47] <Doonz2> Dec 30 07:45:10 sserver1 sudo:     root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=server ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/gconftool --get /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy

[15:47] <aspire> mostly the problem is that my file system is read only
[15:48] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, I have the adobe-flashplugin installed currently it says
[15:48] <aspire> that is why the boot daemon is not able to boot up as it has an error about writing files
[15:48] <rinsmaster> since a few days, when I login, my gnome's in some ugly theme (blueish pre-breezy style icons) until I just open(!) the theme properties window, and as soon as the window opens, my theme goes back to normal
[15:48] <Doonz2> and that woulda been right around the time when that thing in Firefox happend
[15:48] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, My problem is that I had installed gnash plugin b/c the adobe plugin wasn't working and now I can't get it to uninstall
[15:48] <aspire> what can I do to make the file system read and write???
[15:49] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, Even though I uninstalled it in synaptic
[15:49] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: ok, close out firefox and then...   apt-get purge <package_name>    ..what happens if you try?
[15:49] <dr_willis> rinsmaster,  sounds like the gnome-settings-deamon is not running for some reason. See if other users have simile rissue?
[15:49] <putti> anyone able to help me out with why gtk-window-decorator has to be run manually when gnome starts for it to work?
[15:50] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, kk, give me a sec
[15:50] <rinsmaster> dr_willis, somehow it started a few days ago, I'm not sure what I did that caused it...
[15:50] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: ok. you'll need to precede that with 'sudo'
[15:50] <dr_willis> putti,  that 'fusion-icon' tool is what i normally use to change the decorators.. It may help set whatever proper settings need to be set - to make the decorator start up right
[15:50] <bitannihilator42> working now, thx
[15:50] <mircmac> AJC_Z0: yes thats what I see, but the key board has no control, shows mute when sound is playing and volume is controlled in gnome and alsamixer

[15:51] <bitannihilator42> wow 3 mins to fetch the upgrade
[15:51] <dr_willis> rinsmaster,  get it working. and logout, but save the session perhaps beforhand with the sessions tool?
[15:51] <aspire> hello
[15:51] <putti> ok I will try that then willis
[15:51] <Doonz2> whats the command to see all connections on a box
[15:52] <SlimeyPete> netstat -a
[15:52] <bazhang> aspire, do you have a support question?
[15:52] <aspire> Is there any one that can tell me how to change the premissions of my file system
[15:52] <onetinsoldier> Doonz2: i can recommand a good app that's nice for watching connaections,  iptraf
[15:52] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, Ok, it said that there was no gnash installed, but I'm also uninstalling the adobe plugin and then reinstalling it
[15:52] <rinsmaster> dr_willis, oh I think I remember now, I cleaned up the list in the Sessions dialog, I probably removed the settings-deamon thing then...
[15:52] <aspire> bazhang: I just explained my problem but I was ignored

[15:53] <lain_wired> Hiya all, I'm looking to reauthor and compress some DVDs, any good apps on ubuntu?
[15:53] <aspire> bazhang: is that for the file system of for files???
[15:53] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: ok, good luck
[15:53] <aspire> I had a power cut will upgrading my system
[15:53] <bazhang> aspire, have you read the link?
[15:53] <aspire> now it will not load my X when booting
[15:54] <lain_wired> Oh, sorry, that should be encoding (to avi 700mb) not compressing.
[15:55] <onetinsoldier> aspire: do you have a bunch of files listed if you do the following command?   ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/updates  ...?
[15:55] <ElemonGW> my mouse doesn't work under ubuntu 8.10.  it worked perfectly under ubuntu 8.04 although there my hard drive wasn't recognised :/
[15:55] <bazhang> lain_wired, ogmrip
[15:56] <aspire> onetinsoldier: it says zero but this could be of the live disk
[15:57] <Kebab> Anyone know where I can download codecs and drivers without terminal(usin win on other cmp)? Cuz my laptop net wont work.
[15:57] <onetinsoldier> aspire: yes... live cd cannot really be updated unless it's installed onto some sort of disk or usb memory stick
[15:58] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, Even though I uninstalled all flash plugins. Youtube still works for me.
[15:58] <bazhang> Kebab, you want to create an archive usable on another computer?
[15:58] <aspire> onetinsoldier: ls -l mnt/var/lib/dpkg/updates
[15:58] <aspire> ls: cannot access mnt/var/lib/dpkg/updates: No such file or directory
[15:58] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: ok, do   sudo updatedb
[15:58] <lain_wired> bazhang, ogmrip? I'm not sure how to use it.
[15:58] <aspire> I have mounted the disk to /mnt onetinsoldier
[15:58] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: then...   locate flash
[15:58] <Kebab> exatly bazhang. And then transfer through usb or something.
[15:58] <Slart> !aptoncd | Kebab
[15:59] <bazhang> Kebab, yep aptoncd as Slart suggests
[15:59] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, I got a lot of output
[15:59] <onetinsoldier> aspire: i don't know that i can help much really. i'm just used to dealing with real actual linux installations really
[15:59] <kitply> hi all, I have a samsung mp3 player, but when I connect it to the USB port Ubuntu 8.10 doesnt seem to identify it and the mp3 player starts charging instead. Are there any drivers available for this mp3 player for Ubuntu OS
[16:00] <aspire> onetinsoldier: I have this system installed, the problem is that I cant boot it up
[16:00] <aspire> I'm looking for a way to get my system back to work
[16:00] <hspaans> kitply: what do you expect? it needs to be connected to rhythmbox?
[16:00] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, What specifically am I looking for?
[16:00] <aspire> I told you that I had a power cut while upgrading my system
[16:01] <hspaans> kitply: do you see it as a storage device?
[16:01] <aspire> and that the file system has become read only
[16:01] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: can you redirect it to a file, and then open the file and pastebin the contents?   locate flash > flash_locations_file
[16:01] <aspire> as when you open synaptic package manager and are not able to perform an apt-get install from the command line
[16:02] <Kebab> but bazhang... I dont have another comp with aptitude.
[16:02] <kitply> hspaans: no i dont see it as a storage device
[16:02] <bazhang> aspire, can you log into the system at all; ie safe mode
[16:02] <Kebab> So I have nothing to take from.
[16:02] <bazhang> Kebab, will this system ever have internet
[16:02] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: locate flash > flash_locations_file    ...do that command, then pastebin that file
[16:02] <kitply> hspaans: i would lik to see it as a storage device to copy/paste songs
[16:02] <Kebab> bazhang well once I get the drivers over yes? :P
[16:03] <bazhang> Kebab, which drivers? the wireless?
[16:03] <aspire> bazhang: yes if I press alt + F2 then I get a login window
[16:03] <Kebab> Yupp
[16:03] <aspire> which allows me to login
[16:03] <aspire> but there is not much that I can do
[16:03] <bazhang> Kebab, why not get an ethernet cable to the box while you install the drivers then
[16:03] <hspaans> kitply: plug it in and the send the output of the following command to pastebin : dmesg | tail && lsusb
[16:03] <hspaans> !pastebin
[16:03] <Kebab> bazhang tried that aswell. The cable didnt seem to work.
[16:03] <bazhang> aspire, you can log into recovery mode then?
[16:03] <Kebab> Dunno why
[16:04] <Melio1> !netbook
[16:04] <aspire> basically I get this error message that says that my file system is read only and therefore unable to load the gui
[16:04] <aspire> bazhang: I do not get to the stage of the login window, the system simply hangs on boot time
[16:04] <bazhang> aspire, there should be an option to fix broken packages
[16:05] <bazhang> Kebab, what error did you get with the cable ; be more specific please
[16:05] <Doonz2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/96055/ <-- First Log file  http://paste.ubuntu.com/96058/ <-- Second log file
[16:05] <aspire> bazhang: how would I get to that option?
[16:05] <Kebab> bazhang like 'couldent connect to'
[16:06] <kitply> hspaans: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96059/
[16:06] <Savagesaturn> Boa tarde!
[16:06] <aspire> and again is there a way to set my file system such that it is not read only but that it is possible to write to it
[16:06] <bazhang> Doonz2, might have gotten a script exploit, you may search for rootkits if you are truly worried; also ff has a noscript addon you can install that will stop any such exploits in the future
[16:07] <hspaans> kitply: your sure that it has real usb support?
[16:07] <bazhang> Kebab, you can get to a terminal with the cable connected at start up? that is the best way to troubleshoot this
[16:07] <Doonz2> bazhang,  but does it look like my box was comprimised or did it just shutdown firefox cause it was an exploit designed for windows
[16:08] <cappiz> i have a 5TB raid, shows up in the system. Im trying to make a crypted device with cryptsetup LuksFormat.
[16:08] <kitply> hspaans: I went to the samsung website to find suitable drivers/firmware for linux os. But they have only posted drivers for different Windows versions
[16:09] <Paradoxx> What is the link for pastbins again?
[16:09] <bazhang> Doonz2, highly doubtful it was compromised, you can check for how users there are currently on the machine by typing 'w' in the terminal, and apt-cache search rootkit to install the appropriate rootkit hunters, as well as installing the ff addon for future peace of mind

[16:11] <betim> hi, i've set a resolution that my monitor can't handle, now I cannot login to gnome, only gdm is showing, I tried xorg.conf; but there is nothing about framebuffer
[16:12] <n8tuser> betim - dont know if this will change rez..   ctrl+alt+ -   the minus in the numpad
[16:13] <pdtpatrick> betim - why are you looking for frame buffer in xorg.conf when you are concerned with resolution?
[16:13] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: ok, 1) rm -r ~/.macromedia   2) show me the output of --> dpkg -S /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
[16:14] <hspaans> kitply: it may work with MTP, but there appears to be a lot of issues with this device, both on Linux and on Windows
[16:15] <kitply> hspaans: is there any other means that i can make ubuntu recognise it as a memory device. for eg: installing linux specific drivers or something of that sort?
[16:15] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, For command num 2 it says it can't be found
[16:15] <hspaans> kitply: it appears to be the MTP-route for you
[16:15] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: hmmm, ok. are you running ubuntu 8.10?
[16:15] <kitply> hspaans: what is MTP?
[16:16] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, yep

[16:16] <Doonz2> those two things showed up when i ran chkrootkit

[16:17] <kitply> hspaans: So do i have to install the MTP using apt command?
[16:17] <bazhang> Doonz2, there are sometimes false positives with those rk hunters; did you open certain ports
[16:17] <alltax> Oh, I got a nasty bug somewhere in my system after trying to get my wacom tablet to work. I noticed that Xorg "crashes" if I do tabbing for commands in a terminal application like gterm and xterm. But now I noticed that it happens if I try to search on a webpage with firefox, using its search function [ctrl]+F. Any one have a clue, I will search for the guide for wacom tablets that I found on google
[16:18] <cappiz> i have a 3ware controller. the device doesnt show up
[16:18] <cappiz> any ideas why the device "unit" doesnt show up?

[16:19] <Gnea> cappiz: did you check dmesg?
[16:19] <chouchou> how do I setup the name server?
[16:19] <Gnea> cappiz: or lspci?
[16:19] <cappiz> lspci shows the PCI-X
[16:20] <Gnea> what's the PCI-X?
[16:20] <cappiz> dmesg doesnt show anything, but that might be because dmesg gets filled up by iptables/vuurmuur entries
[16:20] <chouchou> are you with me pl?
[16:20] <hspaans> chouchou: if you're asking these question, it may not be wise to start hosting your own stuff
[16:20] <cappiz> PCI-X another interface
[16:20] <kitply> hspaans: Will I get any information regarding MTP in the Ubuntu wiki/forums?

[16:24] <kugel> Hi!
[16:24] <kugel> so I compiled qt4.4.3 myself and want to install kde4
[16:24] <kugel> the problem is that apt-get apparently doesn't see that I have qt4 and wants to install qt4 libs and stuff
[16:25] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: first!  sudo -i and enter password if needed, then run this command -->  find '/usr/lib' -iname 'flashplugin*' -type f | xargs rm -v
[16:25] <elisboa> no more offtopic, sorry :)
[16:25] <bazhang> kugel, please join #kubuntu
[16:25] <kugel> bazhang: I don't have kubuntu
[16:26] <Seveas> kugel, assuming you know what you're doing (being able to compile qt without questions indicates that), you can use equivs to trick apt into thinking you have the packages installed
[16:26] <bazhang> kugel, kde4 are the province of #kubuntu
[16:26] <ElemonGW> which is the default nautilus' keybinding for maximizing a window?
[16:26] <malcom2073> This is a paste from a "top", is this amount of memory usage normal when idling:  5576 root      20   0  393m  60m  13m S    1  3.0 241:13.97 Xorg
[16:26] <hspaans> ElemonGW: alt-f10
[16:27] <Seveas> kugel, another option is to grab the qt sourcepackage and use the buildscripts to build your own version of the qt package and install that
[16:27] <ElemonGW> hspaans: thank you
[16:27] <hspaans> malcom2073: 60m is normal
[16:27] <alltax> Hmm, looks like I found the problem. If my "pc-speaker" is turned on in system / preferences / sound, my Xorg crashes when trying to beep
[16:27] <Seveas> kugel, but really, such things are not suported/supportable by us :)
[16:27] <malcom2073> hspaans: ubuntu is using over a gig idling, and I can't figure out why. It's also using over a gig of swap space
[16:28] <quatar-it> hi all. Does any viewer exists which shows pdfs or djvus (even in b/w) on the shell? (not OCRed, the image itself!)
[16:28] <Seveas> quar, it's shell. So no images.
[16:28] <Seveas> quatar-it*
[16:29] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: are you with me?
[16:29] <kugel> Seveas: ok, what did you mean by "equivs to trick apt"?
[16:29] <Seveas> kugel, apt-get install equivs; man equivs. You're going to have to read the docs :)
[16:29] <quatar-it> Seveas: a fake... a number of dots one after the other bla bla... Also ASCIIart are images!
[16:29] <kugel> it's not a qt/kde issue, but rather a apt-get one I suppose
[16:30] <kugel> ah cool
[16:30] <windwhinny> anybody here?
[16:30] <Seveas> quatar-it, ah, that maes slightly more sense. Only slightly more though and I know of no viewer that does this
[16:30] <hspaans> malcom2073: post the following command to pastebin: vmstat 10 10
[16:31] <Seveas> windwhinny, only 1310 people ;)
[16:31] <quatar-it> Seveas: thanks anyway!
[16:31] <thddx> anyone know why text may not properly refresh in a tty terminal?
[16:32] <windwhinny> my computer can't connect to the net,i use router
[16:32] <Lasivian> is there any way to login to X from shell?
[16:32] <thddx> meaning the old text "sticks" when scrolling
[16:32] <thddx> making everything unreadable
[16:32] <Lasivian> if I reboot I can't VNC back into the box since i'm not logged in on the gui
[16:32] <Seveas> Lasivian, startx (but never at as root)
[16:32] <windwhinny> Lasivian	,"$startx"
[16:32] <Lasivian> but I can SSH in
[16:32] <malcom2073> hspaans: ok
[16:32] <onetinsoldier> thddx: try typing in --> reset
[16:32] <onetinsoldier> thddx: then try again
[16:33] <thddx> that works fine... however it is not a solution
[16:33] <malcom2073> hspaans: how many iterations of it do you want?
[16:33] <onetinsoldier> thddx: oh, i don't know then
[16:33] <thddx> i can also type ctl + L    however, the problem persists
[16:33] <rajkalyan> can i get help with dl here?
[16:33] <sin> does anyone know an alternative bluetooth manager for 8.10 like blueman
[16:33] <hspaans> malcom2073: wait until its finished
[16:33] <malcom2073> ok
[16:33] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: where'd you go?
[16:33] <thddx> so, everytime i scroll down a line in nano... i have to force a refresh
[16:33] <thddx> or it is illegible
[16:34] <Seveas> thddx, before starting nano, type this:
[16:34] <Seveas> export TERM=$TERM
[16:34] <thddx> i believe it is ncurses related... but not sure
[16:34] <Seveas> I know it sounds like nonsense but this has worked for me before
[16:34] <malcom2073> hspaans: http://rafb.net/p/63ewVR59.html
[16:35] <Fishy> hows http://www.amazon.com/Ubuntu-Unleashed-Andrew-Hudson/dp/0672329093 ... any good?
[16:35] <thddx> i'm using gentoo if that makes a difference
[16:35] <rajkalyan> can i get help with dreamlinux here?
[16:35] <rajkalyan> i can't find their irc channel
[16:35] <bazhang> rajkalyan, no, this is for ubuntu
[16:35] <rajkalyan> where is the one for dl?
[16:35] <Seveas> thddx, neh, I've seen it on ubuntu, debian, centos, red hat, gentoo and even solaris :)
[16:35] <Seveas> try #dreamlinux
[16:35] <Seveas> otherwise no idea :)
[16:36] <hspaans> malcom2073: you killed a big memory consumer?
[16:36] <bazhang> http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist rajkalyan look here
[16:36] <thddx> well, linux is linux IMO, but type what before nano?  a colon?
[16:36] <rajkalyan> ok
[16:36] <malcom2073> hspaans: I've recently closed a bunch of firefox windows, because I was at near 100% ram and 50% swap
[16:36] <horstle> hi
[16:36] <onetinsoldier> rajkalyan: they may not have a channel on freenode, but perhaps on another IRC Network
[16:36] <bazhang> Fishy, please paste offtopic links in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:36] <rajkalyan> @_@
[16:36] <rajkalyan> ick
[16:36] <hspaans> malcom2073: the 100% ram isn't an issue, it should be close to 100%
[16:36] <Seveas> malcom2073, 'using firefox' does not qualify as 'idle'
[16:36] <Seveas> especially if it
[16:37] <Seveas> 's a bunch  of windows
[16:37] <malcom2073> Seveas: I am idle now with ONLY xhcat open. that qualifies as idle
[16:37] <Seveas> probably with some flash and java content as wel :)
[16:37] <Seveas> malcom2073, air enough :)
[16:37] <hspaans> malcom2073: but this looks alright, you may want to put more real memory in the box
[16:37] <Fishy> its a book about ubuntu?
[16:37] <Seveas> fair* (keyboard on EEE stinks)
[16:37] <rajkalyan> it says "#dreamlinuxforums" on freenode
[16:37] <Fishy> isnt that on topic?
[16:37] <malcom2073> hspaans: why would ubuntu need more ram than vista to do the same stuff?
[16:37] <rajkalyan> but theres no one there
[16:37] <bazhang> Fishy, its not a support issue
[16:37] <windwhinny> i can get online with the same hardware settings in windows and suse(with ifup) but not in ubuntu. can anyone help me on this problem? what more information should i give you?
[16:37] <malcom2073> And why would my ram sit at 50% while idling, when I first booted it was at like 20$
[16:37] <malcom2073> 20%
[16:38] <Lasivian> how can I login to X over ssh?
[16:38] <RandyLahee> anyone know about booting a "successful" installation from a USB drive?
[16:38] <Lasivian> if that's even possible
[16:38] <Seveas> rajkalyan, then you're out of luck I'm afraid. If your problem isn't dreamlinux specific we may be able to help, what's the prob?
[16:38] <Gnea> !usb
[16:38] <hspaans> malcom2073: ubuntu != windows, there is a lot more running that windows just doesn't has
[16:38] <rajkalyan> sorry its dl
[16:38] <Ward1983> Seveas, use a G15 keyboard on your EEE :p
[16:38] <RandyLahee> thanks ubottu
[16:38] <Gnea> malcom2073: linux handles memory differently than windows
[16:38] <bazhang> rajkalyan, well try #ubuntu-offtopic or their support channel not here
[16:38] <malcom2073> hspaans: ok, why would ubuntu be so much more of a memory hog than fedora? or than my friends intrepid? he dosent have this problem on his
[16:38] <rajkalyan> eee?
[16:38] <Chaorain> I have a problem rebooting. I looked it up online and it said to add "reboot=b" to '/boot/grub/menu.lst' so I did and it worked but no its broken again any help?
[16:38] <hspaans> malcom2073: but his behaviour is also common on windows
[16:38] <rajkalyan> eeepc?
[16:39] <Seveas> Ward1983, I don't know what that is, but an external keyboard is not an option. I'm in a train :)
[16:39] <sin> does anyone know an alternative bluetooth manager for 8.10 like blueman
[16:39] <Ward1983> Seveas, it was a joke, its a massive gaming keyboard with extra keys and a LCD
[16:39] <hspaans> malcom2073: because you're more demanding for more memory?
[16:39] <Seveas> Ward1983, heh :)
[16:39] <Lasivian> X is already stared on the target machine and waiting for a username/password, but I can't vnc to the target until X is started
[16:39] <Lasivian> er, until someone is logged in
[16:39] <betim> i've changed settings using gnome-display-properties; I just need to know where it stores the settings?
[16:40] <Gnea> malcom2073: ubuntu uses gnome, which is a known memory-hog. taking notice of the system requirements, 256megs is the bare minimum. xubuntu or elivecd might be better if he has low memory.
[16:40] <malcom2073> Gnea I have 2 gigs, that oughta be plenty.
[16:40] <Gnea> malcom2073: indeed. so what's taking up 50%?
[16:40] <RandyLahee> i have two gigs right now
[16:40] <malcom2073> But I can't open say, 5 firefox windows and 3 PDF viewers on my pc without going to 100% ram
[16:40] <RandyLahee> running fine
[16:40] <asterslash> how can i reset the keybindings in gnome-keybinding-properties (System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts) ?
[16:40] <Seveas> Lasivian, make gdm on the target accept xdmcp connections and use gdm locally to login on the remote machine via xdmcp
[16:40] <malcom2073> and it gets worse with time
[16:40] <Seveas> Lasivian, alternatively: make gdm autologin on the remote machine :)
[16:40] <reso> I'll give you 2 gigs in a minute
[16:40] <malcom2073> Gnea: according to system monitor, nothing
[16:40] <Ward1983> Seveas, http://farm1.static.flickr.com/76/228691581_11e4973507.jpg (G15)
[16:41] <thddx> give gentoo a try... you will learn a lot, and your machine will only have what you choose to install
[16:41] <Lasivian> whoa...
[16:41] <Gnea> malcom2073: did you actually open it up and look at the process list?
[16:41] <hspaans> malcom2073: if you have 20 sites open with flash and all then its going down hard
[16:41]  * Lasivian goes to look up what all that is, heh
[16:41] <bazhang> !offtopic
[16:41] <malcom2073> Gnea: yes.
[16:41] <bazhang> take chat elsewhere please
[16:41] <Gnea> malcom2073: okay, try opening a terminal and using the top command
[16:41] <malcom2073> hspaans: It gets worse with time though
[16:41] <malcom2073> after rebooting it works fine for a while
[16:41] <Gnea> also, firefox is more of a memory hog than anything else
[16:41] <malcom2073> Gnea: xorg is taking up 400megs of virtual, but real memory shows 60 megs
[16:41] <Seveas> Ward1983, the tri-screen setup is nice. Not portable enough for train though ;)
[16:41] <Gnea> if you're opening more than 1 instance of firefox, you're doing something wrong
[16:42] <ThJ> My MySQL 5.1 Server is broken. It refuses to start now. I'm looking at a whole load of these in my syslog whever I try to start it: Dec 30 16:43:42 d3 kernel: [13722948.371237] audit(1230651822.275:90): type=1503 operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="r::" denied_mask="r::" name="/sys/devices/system/cpu/" pid=11499 profile="/usr/sbin/mysqld" namespace="default"
[16:42] <malcom2073> Gnea: But why would it get worse with time?
[16:42] <malcom2073> As in, when I first boot my computer I can open say, 20 windows. a week later I can only open 5 before it swaps
[16:42] <malcom2073> for example.
[16:42] <Gnea> malcom2073: this, again, is how the linux virtual memory works - the 400megs you see is cumulative of all of the child process, in addition to xorg itself
[16:42] <Ward1983> Seveas, i meant they keyboard but yeah :p
[16:42] <ThJ> It's been running since before another admin on my system made the mistake of chown'ing a bunch of files in the file system root.
[16:42] <Gnea> malcom2073: xorg itself is not using 400megs
[16:42] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: where are you?
[16:42] <hspaans> malcom2073: there is only 60m used, the 400m is projected memory is may use in the future
[16:43] <ThJ> It was of course restarted in the course of an apt-get upgrade, and now it won't start again.
[16:43] <malcom2073> So could it be keeping that memory allocated?
[16:43] <Seveas> ThJ, chown /var/lib/mysql back to the mysql user
[16:43] <Gnea> if there are processes running for extended amounts of time, yes
[16:43] <Seveas> ThJ, you might need /var/log/mysql and some other places too
[16:43] <Neurologic> sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0644, should be 0440
[16:43] <Neurologic> What does this mean?
[16:43] <Ward1983> some guy twonk was in #linux earlyer he overwrite his vista bootloader with grub (and it was on a fakeraid raid0 array) please help him out should he return, he left too fast to get help but he seemed a bit panicked about his data
[16:44] <Seveas> Neurologic, that you didn't use visudo to edit the sudoers file, which is bad
[16:44] <malcom2073> Gnea: But why would the system get worse with time?
[16:44] <norbert79> Neurologic: Change the authorization for /etc/sudoerrs to r--r-----
[16:44] <mooperd> Hi, I have just installed ubuntu and I am getting error "Kernel Panic - not syncing: VSF: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)"
[16:44] <TimothyP> Hi, I'm trying to recover a root password on a ubuntu desktop, forums state to simply boot in recovery mode or pass single to the kernel parameters, but then it still asks: Give root password for maintenance (or type Control+D to continue)
[16:44] <mooperd> I dont think linux can use my disc controller
[16:44] <norbert79> Neurologic: "sudo chmod 440 /etc/sudoerrs"
[16:44] <bazhang> TimothyP, there is no root password
[16:44] <Gnea> malcom2073: if you leave firefox running, that will happen - it's a problem with firefox
[16:44] <TimothyP> yeah I know
[16:44] <TimothyP> sorry
[16:44] <TimothyP> I want to recover the password of my sudo enabled user
[16:44] <Seveas> TimothyA, use these bootparams: single init=/bin/bash
[16:44] <malcom2073> Gnea: no, if I close firefox entirely, my ram usage does not go down.
[16:44] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, Still here
[16:45] <malcom2073> And next time I open it, it goes up even further than the first time
[16:45] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, sorry about that
[16:45] <asterslash> how can i reset the keybindings in gnome-keybinding-properties (System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts) ?
[16:45] <malcom2073> eventually making the computer near unusable
[16:45] <ThJ> Seveas: they all seem to be owned by mysql already.
[16:45] <TimothyP> Seveas I'll try that :)
[16:45] <malcom2073> over like a week or two
[16:45] <Neurologic> norbert79, I can't use any sudo command, it returns that error
[16:45] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: ok, np
[16:45] <Gnea> malcom2073: are you sure you nailed the root firefox pid?
[16:45] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: first!  sudo -i and enter password if needed, then run this command -->  find '/usr/lib' -iname 'flashplugin*' -type f | xargs rm -v
[16:45] <malcom2073> yes, firefox is currently not running at all
[16:45] <norbert79> Neurologic: Switch to root then
[16:45] <malcom2073> unless it runs under another name
[16:45] <Seveas> ThJ, then check the mysql error log. It's usually quite specific about what it doesn't like
[16:45] <Gnea> malcom2073: how do you verify this?
[16:45] <norbert79> Neurologic: use su -
[16:46] <malcom2073> system monitor and top
[16:46] <malcom2073> and also doing a killall
[16:46] <malcom2073> heh
[16:46] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, Just ran it
[16:46] <Seveas> TimothyA, alternatively, boot from a live cd and search www.kaarsemaker.net/downloads/code/ for my password reset script
[16:46] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, It said rm: missing operand
[16:46] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: are you certain gnash is uninstalled? what's the output of?  -->  dpkg -l '*gnash*'
[16:46] <Gnea> and it doesn't show up with:  ps axf | grep firefox  ?
[16:46] <ThJ> Seveas: the log files are all empty, for some reason or the other.
[16:46] <malcom2073> it's not just firefox that does this. VLC for instance increases ram usage, andthen when I close it, it dosent go down to its origional level
[16:46] <illmortal> what's up guys! I have a question... is it possible to "burn" the ubuntu Live CD onto a USB thumb drive? I don't have a CD drive and I would love to install Ubuntu onto my hard drive using a thumb drive. Is this possible?
[16:46] <tsg_> g2g I'd appreciate, if some one of you migh have a look at my post and maybe post something there thank you
[16:46] <ThJ> Seveas: seems to be commented out in my.cnf
[16:47] <malcom2073> It does show up
[16:47] <reso> illmortal: yes
[16:47] <malcom2073> odd
[16:47] <ThJ> Seveas: guess i'll try to uncomment that.
[16:47] <malcom2073> but it says no such process when I try to kill that
[16:47] <tsg_> this one (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6462032&posted=1#post6462032 )
[16:47] <Gnea> malcom2073: usually, it will cache the data in memory for a certain amount of time... when that time passes, it clears the cache
[16:47] <tsg_> cu thank you for help
[16:47] <hspaans> malcom2073: memory is also used for other things as well
[16:47] <tsg_> exit
[16:47] <ThJ> Seveas: wait, line below it says: # Error logging goes to syslog. This is a Debian improvement :)
[16:47] <Neurologic> norbert79, that's not working, any password I put in it gives me authentication failures
[16:47] <Gnea> malcom2073: are you sure it's not just the 'grep firefox' pid that you're seeing?
[16:47] <illmortal> reso... the only information i can find is about running linux off of the thumb drive, how would it be possible to install ubuntu using the thumb drive?
[16:47] <norbert79> Neurologic: Because you havent set any password for root yet then
[16:47] <malcom2073> Heh nope, that's what I'm seeing :)
[16:47] <malcom2073> good call
[16:48] <Seveas> ThJ, that is correct
[16:48] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, http://paste.ubuntu.com/96084/
[16:48] <Gnea> malcom2073: can you paste the line that you actually are seeing please?
[16:48] <Seveas> should be in /var/log somewhere (I have no mysql server handy to confirm)
[16:48] <Neurologic> norbert79, okay...so how do I set a root password then?
[16:48] <malcom2073> 21842 pts/0    S+     0:00      \_ grep firefox
[16:48] <malcom2073> tis the grep firefox command :P
[16:48] <bazhang> Neurologic, dont
[16:48] <Gnea> oka
[16:48] <bazhang> Neurologic, use sudo
[16:48] <Gnea> y
[16:48] <Neurologic> bazhang, -_- I can't. sudoers is broken.
[16:48] <reso> illmortal: not the greatest example link, but just one I could find - http://www.pcmech.com/article/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-with-no-optical-drive/
[16:48] <malcom2073> I don't mind high ram usage. I mind when the computer becomes unusable after 2 weeks
[16:49] <Seveas> ThJ, if you don't get it fixed before 18:00 UTC (an hour from now), Feel free to poke me again, I can be much more helpful at that time :)
[16:49] <norbert79> Neurologic: well, you have no sudo authority, and no password for root... Looks like you have to blank the password for root in /etc/shadow, and reboot in recovery mode and set one
[16:49] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: i did --> cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins && touch flashplugin-alternative.so   ...and then did what i instructed you to do with the sudo -i and find command. it worked with no error.   try ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
[16:49] <reso> I did it using a different guide though, just looking through it for that. I remember it being a little bit of a pita

[16:49] <wuzle> anyone a mdadm guru (software raid)?
[16:49] <malcom2073> Gnea: yep.and stray sessions of the pdf viewer I was using because its a memory hog too
[16:49] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: also do...    dpkg --purge gnash-common

[16:50] <reso> illmortal: a better link - http://lifehacker.com/5070747/ubuntu-810-released-includes-bootable-usb-maker
[16:50] <duffydack> in FF
[16:50] <ThJ> Seveas: ah... well, this is a production server, but fortunately, not commercial.
[16:50] <illmortal> thanks guys... gonna do some reading now :D
[16:50] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, You want the output from the ls?
[16:50] <Neurologic> norbert79, I can't open /etc/shadow
[16:50] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: yes
[16:50] <Gnea> malcom2073: well, movies and documents tend to scale in size
[16:50] <Neurologic> norbert79, no permission =P
[16:50] <Seveas> ThJ, those apparmor errors look odd. Maybe try disabling apparmor?
[16:50] <norbert79> Neurologic: Yes, this is why you have to use your Ub untu install CD
[16:50] <malcom2073> Gnea: but one would assume eventually that memory would be freed after closing the program, instead of piling up until ram is at 100% and all operations are in swap
[16:51] <norbert79> Neurologic: boot up with that, go inside your installed Ubuntu, and blank the password with editing it with gedit
[16:51] <Neurologic> norbert79, ah ok...
[16:51] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, http://paste.ubuntu.com/96086/
[16:51] <wuzle> I have a software raid (mdadm, mirrored), and I wanna try something that could ruin my filetables. Is it possible to remove one drive, try the potentially destructive behavior, and then use the removed drive to rebuild things?
[16:51] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: if it's just one single line, you don't have to pastebin it
[16:51] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, kk
[16:52] <Seveas> wuzle, only if you back up your data first so you can recover from backup if needed :)
[16:52] <niklas175> The default kernel is not compiled with support for pfmon. Anybody know a simple solution?
[16:52] <ThJ> Seveas: I stopped it, but the problem seems the same, but now without any errors in syslog except for the final one from the start script...
[16:52] <tummyacid> hey guys, quick question about the XawTV package.  I am using webcam to upload pictures to a server and I need to use SSH.  Anyone know how to specify a port number in .webcamrc ?
[16:52] <randomwalk> does anyone know if ubuntu supports root cryptfs with graphical installation?
[16:52] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: do...    dpkg --purge gnash-common
[16:52] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, Also, I had uninstalled the adobe flash plugin right when we started to see if that would fix the problem. Not sure if this helps
[16:52] <wuzle> seveas, but I have 2 mirrored drives, and take one out of the raid to try the bug, won't I be safe?
[16:52] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, I did that already
[16:52] <Gnea> malcom2073: it is possible to alter the behavior of the way the kernel handles memory and improve the performance... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=178618 and http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2114123,00.asp are pretty good and getting into the guts of it
[16:52] <jtaji> randomwalk: only with the alternate cd
[16:52] <Neurologic> norbert79, ok, I'll brb then =) Thanks
[16:53] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: ok... cool
[16:53] <ThJ> Seveas: Unless of course there is something more I need to do than /etc/init.d/apparmor stop to disable AppArmor...
[16:53] <norbert79> Neurologic: Good luck, secury /etc/shadow before doing modifications
[16:53] <malcom2073> Gnea: But why am I the only one having this problem? I'm sure everyones computers dont run out of ram after 2 weeks
[16:53] <TheFive_CanGri> i need the    code keys  for activate the cube
[16:53] <Neurologic> norbert79, secury?
[16:53] <Kelen> Why it's not work when i press Tab key in `` with bash. any idea for this problem?
[16:53] <TheFive_CanGri> please
[16:53] <bazhang> !ccsm > TheFive_CanGri
[16:53] <norbert79> secure
[16:53] <Seveas> ThJ, and mysql.err still empty? (and owned by mysql?)
[16:53] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: now, anything from? -->   ls -l /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
[16:54] <norbert79> Neurologic: "secure"
[16:54] <Neurologic> norbert79, uh, how would I do that?
[16:54] <ThJ> Seveas: owner by mysql.adm and still empty.
[16:54] <ThJ> *owned
[16:54] <norbert79> Neurologic: cp /etc/shadow /etc/shadow.backup
[16:54] <bastid_raZor> malcom2073; actually, i reboot about every two weeks. the box seems to become a bit sluggish after 20 some days up. 8.04 here
[16:54] <asterslash> how can i reset the keybindings in gnome-keybinding-properties (System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts) ?
[16:54] <Neurologic> norbert79, OH! right righ
[16:54] <malcom2073> bastid_raZor: Doh :(
[16:54] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2008-12-24 14:39 /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so -> /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin
[16:55] <Seveas> ThJ, run the initscript under sh -x, find the mysqld-safe invocation and run that manually
[16:55] <Gnea> malcom2073: you're not, it's just the way you use it - clearly, you're a power-user who wants to squeeze the last bit of juice of performance, I just gave you the tools to help you out :)
[16:55] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: ok... make sure you have a root prompt with --> sudo -i
[16:55] <malcom2073> Gnea: No, I simply want the computer to be usable after 2 weeks.
[16:55] <TheFive_CanGri> thanks
[16:55] <Paradoxx> kk
[16:55] <asterslash> how can i reset the keybindings in gnome-keybinding-properties (System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts) ?
[16:55] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: then run this command -->      find '/usr/lib' -iname 'flashplugin*' -type f | xargs rm -v
[16:56] <bastid_raZor> malcom2073; and i do abuse my box too. it is constantly doing things 24/7
[16:56] <Gnea> malcom2073: yes, you just told me that at least 3 times.
[16:56] <hspaans> malcom2073: without to know what you do and what you see there is no really much there can be done
[16:56] <g0r8y> Hi there,  i just installed intrepid, ran updates, installed the nvidia binary for my gforce mx 400 and now X is only giveing black screen,any thoughts? =)
[16:56] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: copy and paste that in from the channel message buffer if you need to
[16:56] <malcom2073> hmm, reading online, it may be a leak in the video driver I'm using. ima try switching that
[16:57] <norbert79> bye all
[16:57] <TimothyP> I have a root shell now but when I run passwd I get authentication lock busy .... (trying to change the password of my sudo enabled user) used the init=/bin/bash trick
[16:57] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, I get the missing rm operand error again
[16:57] <asterslash> how can i reset the keybindings in gnome-keybinding-properties (System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts) ?
[16:57] <mlester> does anyone know of a good article that explains the gnome/metacity compiz/window decorations synergy in ubuntu
[16:57] <quatar-it> hi all. I'm trying to view a pdf file with fbi . But if i launch it without options, it says /dev/fb0 is missing. So if i use -d /dev/tty it says ioctl FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO: invalid argument . Why that? I did it sudoed and unsudoed.
[16:57] <hspaans> malcom2073: with 60m for xorg? no
[16:58] <asterslash> how can i reset the keybindings in gnome-keybinding-properties (System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts) ?
[16:58] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, I just tried opening firefox and the flash plug in is now gone
[16:58] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: i just tested it again, works exactly as expected here with no error
[16:58] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, Should I try to reinstall it now?
[16:58] <TimothyP> never mind :) need to remount my drive :p
[16:58] <malcom2073> This is annoying, if I wanted to reboot every two weeks I'd use windows :-/
[16:58] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: sure, go ahead
[16:58] <malcom2073> Maybe I'll switch back to fedora, it didn't have this problem
[16:58] <bastid_raZor> hspaans; malcom2073 currently this box has been up 7 days and as of now only 60MB of Xorg RAM usage
[16:59] <ThJ> Seveas: bingo, 081230 17:59:12 [ERROR] Can't open the mysql.plugin table. Please run mysql_upgrade to create it.
[16:59] <ThJ> Seveas: Odd that Ubuntu didn't upgrade that, might still be other trouble ahead.
[16:59] <zwobble> hey there
[16:59] <malcom2073> bastid_raZor: my problem is that my ram is being shown as full, and yet no processes show as using the ram
[16:59] <asterslash> how can i reset the keybindings in gnome-keybinding-properties (System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts) ?
[16:59] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: just to show you.. this is what i get from that command...   root@maroon-bells:~# find '/usr/lib' -iname 'flashplugin*' -type f | xargs rm -v   -->  removed `/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so'
[16:59] <ThJ> Seveas: and... 081230 17:58:45 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-bdb'
[17:00] <Seveas> thj, backup /var/lib/mysql first now :)
[17:00] <ThJ> Seveas: actually, i think that one's the killer...
[17:00] <hspaans> malcom2073: ram is also being used for caches and buffers
[17:00] <quiet> has anyone in here gotten the dell mini 9 and upgraded the ssd?
[17:00] <zwobble> do beamers work with Ubuntu>
[17:00] <mirelahajric> mrs
[17:00] <Seveas> ThJ, yeah, remove skip-bdb from my.cnf
[17:00] <mirelahajric> fuck meeeeee
[17:00] <Seveas> zwobble, yes
[17:00] <lyk3n> hello
[17:00] <mirelahajric> fick mich
[17:00] <Seveas> !ops | mirelahajric
[17:00] <zwobble> I connected a beamer to my monitor output.. and i cant get my screen to display
[17:00] <ThJ> Seveas: hehey, i think it worked
[17:01] <ThJ> Seveas: geeze, i could have never figured this one out on my own o_O
[17:01] <lyk3n> does anyone know how to fix xorg without an internet connection
[17:01] <Seveas> ThJ, at work I run about 200 mysql servers. I've seen all the errors you can see :)
[17:02] <onetinsoldier> Seveas: famous last words  :P
[17:02] <onetinsoldier> j/k
[17:02] <Seveas> onetinsoldier, no, those are "this cannot go wrong" before doing an upgrade :)
[17:02] <ldiamond> How do I add a network printer in ubuntu?
[17:02] <malcom2073> hspaans: linux dosent track memory by the process that created it?
[17:02] <onetinsoldier> Seveas: i'll bet!
[17:03] <malcom2073> or rather allocated it
[17:03] <ThJ> Seveas: thank you for helping :) now my 13.000 users will he happy again. xD
[17:03] <Gnea> Seveas: hey, are you the dude who does the work with freenx?
[17:03] <onetinsoldier> Seveas: you have another happy customer :-)
[17:03] <hspaans> malcom2073: for the heap and stack yes
[17:03] <zwobble> Seveas, how can I make it work? Right now its just blue.. signal doesnt seem to come through
[17:03] <Seveas> Gnea, I did some freenx packaging a few years ago. Stopped when I realized how much NX sucked :)
[17:04] <Seveas> onetinsoldier, I aim to please :)
[17:04] <mlester> does moonlight work with firefox in ubuntu yet
[17:04] <onetinsoldier> roger that
[17:04] <Seveas> zwobble, system->prefs->screen resolution
[17:04] <onetinsoldier> what is moonlight?
[17:04] <ThJ> Seveas: what the fsck is apparmor anyway? o.o
[17:04] <Seveas> mlester, afaik it should, but there are no packages
[17:04] <mlester> moonlight is the mono equivalent of silverlight
[17:04] <Gnea> Seveas: heh, well, I'm struggling to get it to work right at the moment... I noticed that packages are up on ppa.launchpad now, so I was wondering if this was relevent anymore or not: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[17:05] <Seveas> ThJ, mandatory access control for linux. Read its wikipedia page for more
[17:05] <onetinsoldier> mlester: Oh...ok. thank you :)
[17:05] <ThJ> Seveas: is it like SELinux?
[17:05] <mlester> Seveas: should I just download the rpm or a debian package
[17:05] <Seveas> Gnea, that wiki url is far from relevant to anything that's hardy or newer
[17:05] <ldiamond> How do I add a network printer in ubuntu?
[17:05] <Gnea> Seveas: understood, thanks :)
[17:05] <Seveas> mlester, if you can find a debian package: use it
[17:05] <Seveas> thj: yes
[17:05] <ThJ> Seveas: ah, gotcha
[17:06] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: working for you yet?
[17:06] <ldiamond> Actually, my question should be "What package do I need to get the printing config menu in the System menu"
[17:06] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, nope
[17:06] <g0r8y> is it bad if xorg is loading dri and glx when useing the nvidia kernel modules?
[17:06] <hspaans> malcom2073: but memory works differently then windows nt, which uses a half implemented openvms specification
[17:06] <Seveas> ThJ, with the difference that selinux as shipped by red hat and the like always ends up disabled due to being annoying and apparmor in ubuntu actually being reasonably tuned to reality
[17:06] <Seveas> (at least in my experience)
[17:06] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: are you just wanting to get a working version of Flash in firefox?
[17:07] <jmpc> benas tardes
[17:07] <mlester> thanks Seveas
[17:07] <Paradoxx> ye
[17:07] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, yea I am
[17:07] <neurologic> Ok, so I'm in shadow...
[17:07] <neurologic> What do I blank?
[17:07] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: ok, what is the output of? --> uname -m
[17:08] <ldiamond> What package do I need to get the printing config menu in the System menu?
[17:08] <sharperguy> any  good way to convert 32-bit wav files to 16-bit en-masse?
[17:08] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, i686
[17:08] <Seveas> sharperguy, some bash scripting involving ffmpeg or mencoder?
[17:09] <g0r8y> Hi there,  i just installed intrepid, ran updates, installed the nvidia binary for my gforce mx 400 and now X is only giveing black screen - x0rg.0.log seems fine, but i dont understand whats telling it to load all the modules seeing as my xorg.conf was virtualy blank until after the nvidia install
[17:09] <Seveas> (mind you, what I just said means needing to dig through horrible manpages :))
[17:09] <Henti> hello! ubuntu users!
[17:09] <sharperguy> Seveas, maybe
[17:09] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, It was working before, and then it just stopped
[17:09] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: roger. i don't know why it isn't working for you. someone else might know tho
[17:09] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, ok m8. Thank you again for your help
[17:10] <asterslash> how can i reset the keybindings in gnome-keybinding-properties (System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts) ?
[17:10] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: you're welcome, good luck
[17:10] <cheetiong> in my network, i already have a master DNS server, but i cannot change any thing on this server, now i want to setup my own DNS server, but i need all ip resolve on that primary server, then my own dns server i can manage to update my host & ip, so i should setup my dns server as slave name server or caching-only name server?
[17:11] <tummyacid> hey guys, quick question about the XawTV package.  I am using webcam to upload pictures to a server and I need to use SSH.  Anyone know how to specify a port number in .webcamrc ?
[17:11] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: ok, i know what was wrong with the command i gave you earlier
[17:11] <ScottG> I'm on a laptop, how do I switch to an external display?
[17:11] <Seveas> cheetiong, it's not entirely clear what you want but it looks like you want a forwarding nameserver with maybe some extra zones
[17:11] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, What was? :)
[17:11] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: i used 'touch' which creates an actual file. you have symlinks in there, so....
[17:12] <neurologic> Okay so I was just talking to somebody...apparently my sudoers is broken, he told me I need to erase the password, or lack there of, for root, in /etc/shadow Can someone tell me how to do this? I'm looking at the shadow file, but I don't know what to erase
[17:12] <hspaans> asterslash: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/metacity/global_keybindings && gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/metacity/windows_keybindings && gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/metacity/keybindings_command
[17:12] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: the command would need to be...  find '/usr/lib' -iname 'flashplugin*' -type s | xargs rm -v
[17:12] <hspaans> asterslash: that should do the trick
[17:13]  * Seveas afk, back in 20 min
[17:13] <ldiamond> I need the package gnome-cups-manager, but it says its only available from another source... How do I install that^
[17:13] <Paradoxx> onetinsoldier, Still get rm mistake :S
[17:13] <asterslash> hspaans, unfortunately no
[17:13] <onetinsoldier> Paradoxx: ok, i dunno then
[17:13] <hspaans> asterslash: you may need to relogin
[17:13] <asterslash> hspaans, oh ok, i come back here then, be right back
[17:13] <sky_> hi anyone know about some windows decoration program like Emerald theme ? but he must works without compiz
[17:14] <neurologic> I was just talking to somebody...apparently my sudoers is broken, he told me I need to erase the password, or lack there of, for root, in /etc/shadow Can someone tell me how to do this? I'm looking at the shadow file, but I don't know what to erase...Can somebody please help me?
[17:14] <g0r8y> Hi there,  i just installed intrepid, ran updates, installed the nvidia binary for my gforce mx 400 and now X is only giveing black screen,any thoughts? =)
[17:14] <genii> neurologic: Root should have no login. There should be a !     between     root:                and               :123456            (or whatever number here)
[17:14] <jughead> I think I finally got my nvidia card driver installed, but it thinks my LCD is only capable of 640x480... how can I change it to the max res?
[17:14] <thebloggu> hspaans, no, nothing, still the same
[17:15] <neurologic> genii: what's there I assume is a hash of the password? It's a bunch of random numbers and letters
[17:15] <johannes_> hi im using 8.04 and use two hdds, one for the os and one for data, can I tell ubuntu to turn off one of the hdds when it hasnt been used for an hour?
[17:15] <genii> neurologic: Yes, thats an md5 hash of the current password
[17:15] <hspaans> thebloggu: you may need to unset some more, but what is your problem?
[17:16] <g0r8y> jughead - if your driver is working u can use randr
[17:16] <g0r8y> or xrandr
[17:16] <neurologic> genii: okay, so if I remove that I should be able to use root? or?
[17:16] <urban_ryoga> hi. i'm trying to upgrade to 8.10 but the live cd doesnt recognize my partitions...
[17:16] <quatar-it> Hi all. Has anyone ever used fbi?
[17:16] <ldiamond> Can anyone help me out setting up a network printer? (I dont even have the printing menu in administration!)
[17:17] <thebloggu> hspaans, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1025704
[17:17] <neurologic> genii: or, uh, when would one have been prompted to set a root password? I might remember it.
[17:18] <g0r8y> Im noticeing that my xorg.conf is very blank compared to my last install of ubuntu - can I stop the modules that are being loaded automaticaly as normal in there?
[17:19] <genii> neurologic: Ubuntu is designed to NOT use root account. Things requiring admin rights should be done instead with sudo
[17:19] <neurologic> genii: unfortunately sudoers is broken, so...that's not possible
[17:20] <genii> neurologic: I would recommend to use a default type sudoers file. Should be only 2 entries in it.
[17:20] <bastid_raZor> neurologic; use the liveCD to set the permissions of the file you need
[17:20] <rhaven> hi, can someone point me in the right direction to mount a hard drive, that is in a "hard drive bay", it doesnt appear in /dev as sdb or sdc
[17:20] <neurologic> bastid_raZor: I'm on the livecd right now, so I should change the permissions of sudoers?
[17:20] <mrwes> how do you break sudo?
[17:21] <neurologic> genii: well, the person I was talking to before told me I can like...chmod 044 or something and fix the sudoers file
[17:21] <bastid_raZor> neurologic; didn't you say it has the wrong permissions earlier? mount your / drive and make the changes
[17:21] <g0r8y> Hi there,  i just installed intrepid, ran updates, installed the nvidia binary for my gforce mx 400 and now X is only giveing black screen - only the nvdia-config has modified my xorg.conf and there are no signs of bad stuff happening in the xorg.log
[17:21] <neurologic> bastid_raZor: yeah it said something like it was 0664 instead of 0440 or something
[17:21] <KoolD> can someone name a good cd burner
[17:21] <genii> neurologic: 3 lines actually... eg: Defaults        env_reset         and: root    ALL=(ALL) ALL                      and another line of: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL                And yes should be permissions like 644 or such
[17:21] <RivitingOne> Where can I find a good up to date Walkthrough on steps to take after a brand new install to get all the normal functionality that ubuntu doesn't come with. Dvd playback, NTFS access, the ability to have sound on two applications at once, possibly something that can display a .gif.
[17:22] <bazhang> !burners > KoolD
[17:22] <fosco__> KoolD, brasero on gnome or k3b on kde
[17:22] <neurologic> genii: but that was the error I was getting in the terminal, that I couldn't use the sudoers because it was set to 66 something instead of 0440 or whatever
[17:22] <mrwes> RivitingOne: I believe the forums have an 'ultimate media installation guide'
[17:22] <KoolD> thanks a lot
[17:23] <Dan> hello
[17:23] <Dan> hola?
[17:23] <bazhang> RivitingOne, ubuntu-restricted-extras and two packages from medibuntu
[17:23] <ldiamond> How do I get the "Printing" menu in System->Administration ????
[17:23] <genii> neurologic: Boot to recovery mode kernel. Then issue:   chmod 440 /etc/sudoers
[17:24] <mrwes> bazhang: yah..I forgot ubuntu-restricted-packages make it easy
[17:24] <venger> having trouble setting up CUPS, i have the printer installed but even when i go to http://server:631 on the server itself and do a print test page, i get an authentication dialog which will not accept any known credentials.  I've read the admin portions of the interface may be disabled in ubuntu by default.  Also there is no cups[sys] user after installation which i believe would need to be in the shadow group for basic authentication to work.  can anyone 
[17:24] <Dan> this irc only speak inglish?
[17:24] <neurologic> genii: ok, how do I boot into a recovery mode?
[17:24] <thebloggu> hspaans, have you seen the post ?
[17:24] <fosco__> !es | Dan
[17:24] <bazhang> Dan, #ubuntu-es for espanol
[17:24] <Dan> ups...
[17:24] <Dan> thanks!
[17:24] <genii> neurologic: Hit esc during grub. Choose the recovery kernel line.   Then boot to that. Issue the chmod line. Then after: telinit 2
[17:25] <storrgie> I am using ubuntu on my media center with a 50" plasma 1080p display. I would like everything to be 'larger' in windows I would adjust the DPI... is there a comparable adjustment in linux?
[17:25] <mrwes> ldiamond: right click on the system menu and then goto administration and check the printer icon
[17:25] <duffydack> storrgie: yeah, adjust the dpi :)
[17:26] <storrgie> duffydack: figured as much, where would I find this?
[17:26] <mrwes> ldiamond: right click on the system menu and then goto edit and then administration and check the printer icon
[17:26] <neurologic> genii: what does telinit 2 do? O_o
[17:26] <ldiamond> mrwes, the printing menu is not there either, I'm missing the package
[17:26] <ldiamond> mrwes, but I have absolutely no idea what the package name is.
[17:26] <mrwes> ldiamond: cups is missing?
[17:26] <genii> neurologic: telinit 2        puts the computer into multi-user mode from single-user mode ("recovery")
[17:26] <mrwes> !cups
[17:26] <storrgie> Is it difficult to get the optical audio to work in ubuntu?
[17:26] <tewmten> quick question: is there no BitchX package in ubuntu's repos??
[17:27] <ldiamond> mrwes, gnome-cups-manager seemed to be the right one, but I cant get this package (it can only be referenced by other packages)
[17:27] <g0r8y> Hi there,  i just installed intrepid, ran updates, installed the nvidia binary for my gforce mx 400 and now X is only giveing black screen - i have tried setting a manual resloution in xorg.conf but i dont think this is issue
[17:27] <ldiamond> mrwes, I have cups installed
[17:27] <tewmten> cant find it on packages.ubuntu.com =O
[17:27] <neurologic> genii: ah ok. well thanks. I'll brb hopefully
[17:27] <bazhang> tewmten, irssi instead
[17:27] <tewmten> bazhang: no I was asking for BitchX
[17:27] <duffydack> storrgie: i dont actually know for SURE but appearance options, fonts/details
[17:27] <storrgie> g0r8y: there is a hack to get that working properly, you have to enter the lspci information into xorg.conf before restarting
[17:27] <duffydack> never adjusted it
[17:28] <mrwes> ldiamond: I dunno....cups worked after the basic installation I didn't have to add anything
[17:28] <g0r8y> storrgie: awesome ty, that should be enough to goolge=)
[17:28] <AngryElf> how do I find out what package a given file is in?
[17:28] <ldiamond> mrwes, I installed from the alternate CD and did a minimal installation with no window manager
[17:28] <storrgie> g0r8y: if i remember right you just have to do an lspci and enter the busid in the xorg.conf file under the video adaptor....
[17:28] <onetinsoldier> AngryElf: dpkg -S <path_to_file>
[17:29] <storrgie> g0r8y: when u find the link will you send it to me, i should have that bookmarked
[17:29] <mrwes> ldiamond: sudo apt-get install cupsys cupsys-client
[17:29] <thebloggu> hspaans, have you seen the post ?
[17:30] <Dan> hello to all
[17:30] <onetinsoldier> !welcome | Dan
[17:30] <ldiamond> mrwes, still nothing :(
[17:30] <g0r8y> Storrgie: will do - by doing that am i basicly overideing something automatic, my x.org.conf seems very barren compared to my previous  installs
[17:30] <Dan> thanks onerinsoldier :D
[17:30] <onetinsoldier> :-)
[17:30] <Dan> one question
[17:31] <Dan> how to enabled wireless atheros on Ubuntu 8.10?
[17:31] <storrgie> g0r8y: well kinda, your just identifying the hardware in the xorg.conf, only adding a single line
[17:31] <HideousNashimoto> Hey, I need to burn 7.9 GB of data to dual layer 8.5 GB DVD, but Ubuntu is F*** me in the brain with some stupid!!!!!!!
[17:31] <bazhang> HideousNashimoto, no cursing here
[17:31] <HideousNashimoto> It say that there is not enough room on DVD
[17:31] <HideousNashimoto> Can you tell me some good software for burning
[17:31] <bazhang> !burners > HideousNashimoto
[17:32] <Dan> the card is a atheros ar242x
[17:32] <mrwes> ldiamond: try this link...https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/cups.html
[17:32] <g0r8y> Storrgie: yeah im used to doing that stuff previously but thought that might be the wrong approach now as the config file was so empty
[17:32] <Dan> not can enabled on ubuntu 8.10
[17:32] <ardchoille> HideousNashimoto: nautilus hasn't let me down as far as burning yet :)
[17:32] <NintendoGuy0> Hey all :)
[17:32] <HideousNashimoto> Well I can't it say that  I need to pud DVD R-L
[17:32] <HideousNashimoto> in it
[17:32] <HideousNashimoto> Even though I put it
[17:33] <ardchoille> HideousNashimoto: perhaps give brasero a try? you should already have that
[17:33] <bazhang> Dan, the ubuntu wiki has a link for that
[17:33] <Neurologic> genii, Thank you so much!!!
[17:33] <ldiamond> mrwes, All I want is to add the printing menu so I can configure my network printer using GUI
[17:33] <NintendoGuy0> Just wondering, I'm a beginner with Ubuntu. Is there some way I can just install a plugin/addon/mod to ubuntu that will allow me to run Windows Programs as easily as I can with WinXP?
[17:33] <HideousNashimoto> I tried brasero also, it *** me about some oversized thing also
[17:33] <Dan> please someone can help me with my card?
[17:33] <Neurologic> genii, everything works, and I remembered my root password! XD
[17:34] <genii> Neurologic: Glad to see you're back on track :)
[17:34] <HideousNashimoto> And that medium is not available for writing with current set of plugins
[17:34] <fosco__> NintendoGuy0, you can use wine
[17:34] <bazhang> NintendoGuy0, check the appdb
[17:34] <NintendoGuy0> Fosco, WINE costs money.
[17:34] <fosco__> no
[17:34] <bazhang> !appdb > NintendoGuy0
[17:34] <NintendoGuy0> And I don't have money :)
[17:34] <Neurologic> genii, yep, thank you again! and razor too
[17:34] <NintendoGuy0> Okay.
[17:34] <fosco__> wine is free
[17:34] <mrwes> ldiamond: try the webgui  http://localhost:631
[17:34] <Dan> please someone can help me with my card atheros on Ubuntu?
[17:34] <bazhang> NintendoGuy0, no it does not. it is software.
[17:34] <NintendoGuy0> Oh?
[17:35] <NintendoGuy0> I thought it said on the website it did.
[17:35] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: you're confusing cedega with the main wine tree
[17:35] <captainm> NintendoGuy0: You can use wine (it's free, really!) or a virtuall machine like virtuallbox
[17:35] <storrgie> anyone have experience getting optical audio to work?
[17:35] <bazhang> help in #winehq NintendoGuy0
[17:35] <mrwes> free wine? where?
[17:35] <mrwes> heh
[17:35] <Dan> I've read my questions?
[17:36] <zeld> hi all
[17:36] <bazhang> Dan, the ubuntu wiki has a link
[17:36] <onetinsoldier> hi zeld
[17:36] <bazhang> !wiki > Dan

[17:36] <NintendoGuy0> So.. how easy is WINE?
[17:36] <zeld> how can disable nm-applet from ubuntu?
[17:36] <Dan> help :D
[17:36] <nat2610> I don't know why but after a couple of hour of uptime, my sound stops working, I tried to restart /etc/init.d/pulseaudio but I'm not sure it worked... and the sounds isn't back is there anything I can check?
[17:36] <HideousNashimoto> 8137 MB
[17:36] <fosco__> NintendoGuy0, just try
[17:36] <zeld> onetinsoldier: :)
[17:36] <bazhang> Dan, you need to read the link
[17:36] <Dan> only need module for atheros ar242x
[17:36] <NintendoGuy0> Alright.
[17:36] <captainm> NintendoGuy0: depends on the software you're trying to run
[17:36] <sky_> NintendoGuy0: why you use linux if you use windows program here ?
[17:37] <mrwes> ldiamond: did you try the webgui ?
[17:37] <sky_> if you want use there windows apps
[17:37] <Dan> what link?
[17:37] <NintendoGuy0> sky_, because
[17:37] <mrwes> ldiamond: I actuall use that...works pretty good
[17:37] <zeld> there is a dettailed how to?? where is explained good?
[17:37] <NintendoGuy0> For one, I'm sick of Windows.
[17:37] <ldiamond> mrwes, I'm trying to add the network printer but I dont really know how to locate it.
[17:37] <ardchoille> I need a command line ftp client and am open to suggestions
[17:37] <zeld> i don't want nm-applet password manager
[17:37] <bastid_raZor> ardchoille; scp ?
[17:37] <sky_> NintedoGuy0: and which programes ? i use wine only for gaming :P
[17:38] <NintendoGuy0> Two, I have bluescreen on my other computer, and I don't want to bother buying XP or Vista
[17:38] <bazhang> sky_, NintendoGuy0 please take game chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:38] <fosco__> ardchoille, lftp
[17:38] <mrwes> ldiamond: did you fire up your web browser and goto http://localhost:631 and then hit add printer?
[17:38] <NintendoGuy0> is this really off-topic?
[17:38] <storrgie> g0r8y: find it yet?
[17:38] <zeld> NintendoGuy0: remove vista and Xp ;) increase your disck space :)
[17:38] <zeld> s/disck/disk
[17:39] <NintendoGuy0> zeld, what do you mean..?
[17:39] <ldiamond> mrwes, yes
[17:39] <mrwes> and?
[17:39] <NintendoGuy0> I'm sorry
[17:39] <zeld> nothing :)
[17:39] <Dan> :S
[17:39] <NintendoGuy0> I cant stress how uneducated I am with this sort of stuff.
[17:39] <sky_> NintendoGuy0: wine is really simple...just click on exe and enjoy :D
[17:39] <NintendoGuy0> Oh, thanks sky
[17:39] <NintendoGuy0> that's what I meant.
[17:39] <ardchoille> bastid_raZor: that would be hugely hindered by my faulty memory
[17:39] <zwobble> hey there, managed to get my beamer working :)... just one quick question: How do i remove the "Laptop 15"  notice
[17:40] <zwobble> its at the top left of my scren
[17:40] <bastid_raZor> ardchoille; rsync ?
[17:40] <NintendoGuy0> I didnt really want to have to open up an emulator program in Ubuntu and go searching for the Windows program.
[17:40] <captainm> ardchoille: I like lftp
[17:40] <mrwes> ldiamond: and then fill in the required information, like Printer Name, Location and Description
[17:40] <NintendoGuy0> I'll give WINE a go, thanks!
[17:40] <ardchoille> fosco__: lftp, eh? and it's already installed :)
[17:40] <ardchoille> I think ubuntu ships with lftp
[17:40] <sky_> NintendoGuy0: wine is not an emulator xD
[17:41] <ldiamond> mrwes, That's what I dont know how to fill. Anyways, I need to print something right now (a form that cant be saved). So I'm now trying to print it to PDF
[17:41] <NintendoGuy0> sky_, I heard that technically, WINE is an emulator
[17:41] <mrwes> ldiamond: what is the pritner connected to?
[17:41] <ldiamond> mrwes, I just added a PDF printer, but it doesnt work when I try to print to it from Acrobat Reader
[17:41] <NintendoGuy0> But I've no right to argue, I haven't the slightest clue
[17:41] <zwoble> beamer works :)
[17:41] <duffydack> its more of a wrapper
[17:41] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: if it was an emulator, XP and Vista would be completely obsolete
[17:41] <venger> NintendoGuy0, #winehq  winehq.org  --- wine is a compatibility layer, a translator at best
[17:41] <ldiamond> mrwes, to a ubuntu desktop machine.
[17:42] <cmdbbq> NintendoGuy0: wine is a compatability layer, so it is and it isn't
[17:42] <captainm> NintendoGuy0: wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator ;)
[17:42] <ldiamond> mrwes, but lets juts add a PDF printer for now
[17:42] <ldiamond> mrwes, Ill worry about the network printer later.
[17:42] <mrwes> ldiamond: same machine or another?
[17:42] <ldiamond> mrwes, Another machine
[17:42] <mrwes> ldiamond: er.. then use internet printing protocol
[17:42] <bastid_raZor> Gnea; XP and Vista are already obsolete.. ;P
[17:42] <NintendoGuy0> @Gnea, sorry, what do you mean if it was an emulator, XP & Vista would be obselete?
[17:42] <bazhang> !offtopic
[17:42] <sky_> we are really offtopic :D
[17:43] <zwobble> How do i remove the "Laptop 15"  notice with a beamer and dual screen?
[17:43] <bazhang> please take chat elsewhere.
[17:43] <NintendoGuy0> Alright
[17:43] <mrwes> sits back in his easychair
[17:44] <NintendoGuy0> Okay, now I have a genuine support query.
[17:44] <rhavenw> hi,
[17:44] <Seveas> NintendoGuy0, bring it on :)
[17:44] <rhavenw> is there something special i need to do to mount a modular bay
[17:44] <Seveas> hi rhavenw
[17:44] <NintendoGuy0> On my other computer (it's on 8.04.1), I can't connect to my dial-up
[17:44] <NintendoGuy0> Don't kill me for using dial up :P
[17:44] <NintendoGuy0> It's the fastest I can get where I live.
[17:45] <NintendoGuy0> So anyways
[17:45] <mrwes> depressing
[17:45] <duffydack> NintendoGuy0: you`ll do it yourself eventually :)
[17:45] <NintendoGuy0> Well
[17:45] <Seveas> NintendoGuy0, upgrade to 8.10 if you can get a cd with packages. It won't magiaclly fix all your problems but dial-up is much easier
[17:45] <duffydack> cant you even get satellite or some 3G dongle
[17:45] <NintendoGuy0> Seveas, I just ordered the CD yesterday
[17:46] <IdleOne> what do i need to do so I can connect to my phone with bluetooth?
[17:46] <NintendoGuy0> Duffydack, I've tried
[17:46] <mib_3y96cp> hey guys, can you tell me when the latest release of pidgin will be available on the servers for updates?
[17:46] <NintendoGuy0> The satellite provider is useless
[17:46] <Kartagis> help. i tried to make a dhcp server and my laptop can't access the internet now
[17:46] <Seveas> NintendoGuy0, I thought ireland was better connected than that :)
[17:46] <Gnea> mib_3y96cp: when it's ready
[17:46] <NintendoGuy0> What gave you that idea? xD
[17:46] <nickrud_> Good morning Seveas
[17:46] <Dan> help me for atheros on Ubuntu?
[17:46] <NintendoGuy0> Unless you live in some huge city, Internet access is tedious
[17:46] <Gnea> !wireless | Dan
[17:46] <IdleOne> !wireless > Dan
[17:47] <Dan> thanks
[17:47] <Seveas> NintendoGuy0, that sucks
[17:47] <mib_3y96cp> well, i know that, but do you guys have an idea of when that might happen?
[17:47] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: it's getting better in rural areas
[17:47] <NintendoGuy0> It's still not very good.
[17:47] <NintendoGuy0> I'm in a relatively rural area.
[17:47] <Gnea> so am I
[17:47] <Gnea> depends who your provider is and who's doing the work
[17:47] <NintendoGuy0> Gnea, ever heard of AirWire?
[17:48] <ldiamond> Can anyone help me setup a PDF printer and/or a Network printer please? I have to print a form that can't be saved.
[17:48] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: nope, they a baby-bell?
[17:48] <venger> echo "test"| lp -dML-2010 yields lp: Not allowed to print.  user is in lpadmin group, printer is accepting requests and idle.  what should I do?
[17:48] <nat2610> I don
[17:48] <NintendoGuy0> I'm not sure what Baby-bell means, but they're definitely inefficient.
[17:48] <Seveas> baybel? cheese?
[17:48] <Dan> can make an automatic script wifi in ubuntu?
[17:48] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: allow me to rephrase - cable or dsl? :)
[17:49] <NintendoGuy0> Erm, allowing my inexperience to break through here; It was wireless. I think LAN or something.
[17:49] <ultraren> weird, my laptop's wifi kept timing out until i set up wifi security
[17:49] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: and a 'baby-bell' is a small telephone company that nobody's heard of
[17:49] <mib_3y96cp> hey, again, anyone knows how long will it take for the newest release of pidgin to be available? i'm sure someone here probably knows how's the progress on that going..
[17:49] <NintendoGuy0> Oh, thanks Gnea
[17:49] <NintendoGuy0> they're big enough
[17:49] <Gnea> heh
[17:49] <bazhang> mib_3y96cp, perhaps next release
[17:49] <Seveas> mib_3y96cp, about april 2009, when jaunty is released
[17:49] <NintendoGuy0> but they are way too expensive and the service is awful.
[17:49] <bazhang> mib_3y96cp, ubuntu is not a rolling release distro
[17:50] <nat2610> I don't know what I did I was trying to find a shortcut and (alt + ctrl + <key>) and now everytime I open a new tab in firefox for example, the browser cover the 2 panel bars of gnome ... I don't think it's something in firefox, anybody what I pressed ?
[17:50] <nat2610> and how can I stop that
[17:50] <mib_3y96cp> i didn't know there were so many bug fixes to be implemented
[17:50] <Dan> irc in spanish?
[17:50] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: most baby bells are using a wireless signal these days for rural access - since they're not part of a larger corporation, they can set and demand any price they want and get away with it
[17:50] <Gnea> !es | Dan
[17:50] <bazhang> #ubuntu-es Dan
[17:50] <NintendoGuy0> Gnea, problem is nobody's going to pay for it
[17:50] <NintendoGuy0> especially stingy people like me.
[17:51] <ldiamond> Can anyone help me setup a PDF printer and/or a Network printer please? I have to print a form that can't be saved.
[17:51] <Seveas> !repeat | ldiamond
[17:51] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: and yet, you and I are having this conversation. :)
[17:51] <duffydack> mib_3y96cp: the latest is available on the pidgin site for ubuntu
[17:51] <mib_3y96cp> i mean, they just release the 2.5.3 or something like that last week.. i thought that update should be up on the canonical servers by now..
[17:51] <Seveas> ldiamond, search synaptic for cups-pdf and install that
[17:51] <bazhang> mib_3y96cp, no
[17:51] <ldiamond> Seveas, I did.
[17:51] <NintendoGuy0> I'm on dial-up.
[17:51] <NintendoGuy0> :)
[17:51] <Seveas> ldiamond, then use it :)
[17:51] <ldiamond> Seveas, my problem isnt that simple.
[17:51] <bazhang> NintendoGuy0, was there a support question in there?
[17:51] <ldiamond> Seveas, I also have to repeat because nobody answers me.
[17:51] <NintendoGuy0> Oh yes.
[17:52] <NintendoGuy0> Well
[17:52] <mib_3y96cp> well, that sucks.. i love to use the whole apt-get thing for my updates.. don't like to go download software on 3rd party sites, you know?
[17:52] <bazhang> NintendoGuy0, please dont use the enter key after one word
[17:52] <ldiamond> Seveas, I dont even have the "Printing" option in System->Administration
[17:52] <Seveas> bazhang, enter is the new space \o/
[17:52] <bazhang> !ot > Seveas
[17:52] <Seveas> ldiamond, install the ubuntu-desktop package
[17:53] <ldiamond> Seveas, configuring it using cups web UI failed as well. (I get /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf failed )
[17:53]  * Gnea passes bazhang a fresh cup of joe
[17:53] <NintendoGuy0> anyways, I've set up the information (user password & username, IP, all that stuff) for my dial up connection, and then I click the Network icon in the bottom right of my screen
[17:53] <Seveas> bazhang, oh grow up.
[17:53] <ldiamond> Seveas, No, I dont want the entire ubuntu-desktop package (as it will also conflict with current applications I have)
[17:53] <Kartagis> help. i tried to run a dhcp server and my laptop can't access the internet now
[17:53] <Coloquialist> I'm having a problem mounting a Disk formatted as ReiserFS
[17:53] <NintendoGuy0> And my dial-up doesn't show up on it.
[17:53] <ldiamond> Seveas, I need the specific package for the printing manager
[17:53] <Gnea> Kartagis: did you actually edit the config file to set it up?
[17:53] <bazhang> NintendoGuy0, is this pppoe
[17:53] <Seveas> ldiamond, well then you're rather on your own (or at least without my help :))
[17:53] <Kartagis> Gnea, yes
[17:54] <NintendoGuy0> Err, one second
[17:54] <Seveas> bazhang, pppoe is adsl, dialup is ppp
[17:54] <Gnea> Kartagis: care to pastebin it?
[17:54] <Kartagis> Gnea, and i disabled the one in the modem
[17:54] <NintendoGuy0> I'll fire up my other computer so I can tell you better
[17:54] <Kartagis> Gnea, just a sec
[17:54] <ldiamond> Can anyone help me setup a PDF printer and/or a Network printer please? I have to print a form that can't be saved.
[17:54] <Gnea> bazhang: he's on dialup
[17:54] <NintendoGuy0> It's PPP

[17:58] <ldiamond> Seveas, Its not like I'm spamming you idiotic kid. I have to repeat the question because nobody is answering it. I am waiting a reasonable time before asking again. If ure unhappy, just go outside for a bit... it'll help your mental health.
[17:58] <bazhang> Shammah, likely the appdb will tell what they used to run it; also see #winehq
[17:58] <NintendoGuy0> *Woops, apologies for one-wording again.
[17:58] <nerdyperdy> i dld ubuntu from ubuntu and was wandering if i burned it to a disk and whiped out my hdd,will it boot and install from the disk???
[17:58] <Shammah> Thing is, I get artifacts everywhere, and the appdb says the game should work good
[17:58] <rostaman> I'm with ldiamond
[17:58] <bazhang> Shammah, with compiz or not
[17:58] <Shammah> I also get 40FPS on loewst settings, while i get 120FPS on highest on Windows
[17:58] <Gnea> Kartagis: try setting a range, like this:  range 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.5
[17:58] <Seveas> ldiamond, read what uboty said. It also gives you alternatices for getting help. And calling someone an idiotic kid doesn't improve your chances of getting help...
[17:58] <Shammah> bazhang: Don't know. My window settingd are currently set to: Extra Effects
[17:59] <Shammah> Like wobbling windows
[17:59] <rostaman> I'm about to shrink a Vista partition before installing Ubuntu...I'm doing linux development...nothing huge...is 50GB gonna do it?
[17:59] <bazhang> Shammah, aha
[17:59] <rhavenw> do livecds have hotplug/coldplug support for inserting/removing ide drives?
[17:59] <bazhang> Shammah, try setting to none
[17:59] <Shammah> :O
[17:59] <Seveas> rostaman, more than enough
[17:59] <rostaman> ty Seveas
[17:59] <Gnea> Kartagis: and having a broadcast is a good idea too:  option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
[17:59] <progre55> hi everyone
[17:59] <ldiamond> Seveas, this is not a case of emergency. A few repeats was the only option here.
[17:59] <onetinsoldier> Shammah: what driver and version are you using in linux? never know, for that game it may be best to windows for it tho
[17:59] <rostaman> Eclipse would be the biggest thing I install I think
[17:59] <AshTray-> Aaa. can't install ebox. http://pastebin.com/m72d1e6da
[17:59] <Shammah> onetinsoldier: I use 8.12 prop drivers
[17:59] <Gnea> ldiamond: still, you should limit your repeats to every 5 minutes or so.
[17:59] <Shammah> The latest
[17:59] <nerdyperdy> can someone help me???
[18:00] <Coloquialist> I'm looking for some assistance mounting a hard drive
[18:00] <Seveas> rostaman, eclipse doesn't take one gb, let alone 50. It's not like it's visual studio :)
[18:00] <progre55> can somebody suggest anything.. why my firefox always starts in offline mode?? is there any ways to fix it?
[18:00] <bazhang> AshTray-, the releases notes indicate ebox does not work with intrepid
[18:00] <donkeykong> lol seveas
[18:00] <n8tuser> ldiamond - hang a few
[18:00] <onetinsoldier> Shammah: roger. yep, them's the latest
[18:00] <AshTray-> bazhang anyother ideeas ? :|
[18:00] <rostaman> heh, Sev, ty! :-)   Yeah, I'm a Visual Studio .NET developer that's about to break from the chain$!
[18:00] <Lasivian> any ideas why my ATH5k wireless is not detected until I power down my notebook AND remove the battery?
[18:00] <rostaman> Getting back to my unmanaged, c++ roots
[18:00]  * Shammah still double clicks .exe instead of opening with Wine
[18:00] <Shammah> :(
[18:01] <donkeykong> i used to work on .net studio rostaman. Its a crappy product
[18:01] <ldiamond> Gnea, I limit them according to how many people joined, how many lines were entered since last repeat and how much I need help quickly.
[18:01] <rostaman> it wore me out, DK
[18:01] <ldiamond> Gnea, this added up to around 3-4 mins
[18:01] <bazhang> AshTray-, for intrepid? think I saw a thread or two on ubuntuforums you may want to check there
[18:01] <Kartagis> Gnea, is this the same as range dynamic-bootp ip.ad.d.ress ip.ad.d.ress ?
[18:01] <rostaman> and now that there's WPF and WCF, it's way too platform-y for me
[18:01] <NintendoGuy0> So, I've set up my Dial-Up connection. I left-click the Network Icon, mouse-over dial-up connections, click Connect to ppp0 via Modem, and nothing happens.. any ideas to fix this?
[18:01] <woow-reseau> link french ubuntu channel?
[18:01] <nerdyperdy> i dld ubuntu from the website...if i burn the iso to a cd and whipe my hdd out will it boot from cd and install???thats all i need to know.
[18:01] <Seveas> woow-reseau, #ubuntu-fr
[18:02] <rostaman> I'll do Ruby on Linux if I need a platform from now on :)
[18:02] <bazhang> nerdyperdy, you set it in bios?
[18:02] <nerdyperdy> i can
[18:02] <Shammah> Ehm ... crap
[18:02] <nerdyperdy> just want to make sure b4 i whip xp out
[18:02] <bazhang> nerdyperdy, also be sure to md5 the iso and do disk integrity check after burning at low speed
[18:02] <Shammah> Is there some kind of task-manager in GNOME to kill applications?
[18:02] <bazhang> !md5 > nerdyperdy
[18:02] <NintendoGuy0> bazhang, please can you check PM?
[18:02] <AshTray-> -bash: deb: command not found
[18:03] <bazhang> NintendoGuy0, all I know about dialup is in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[18:03] <nerdyperdy> its installed know,,,just really want to whipe xp out...and dont know how
[18:03] <Seveas> Shammah, system -> admin -> system montior
[18:03] <bazhang> nerdyperdy, the live cd has loaded?
[18:03] <NintendoGuy0> Okay. So you don't know anything about this particular problem?
[18:03] <Shammah> Seveas: Thank you :)
[18:03] <earthen> Ward1983,  hey did you get you sound fixed
[18:03] <nerdyperdy> i installed ubuntu last night...im on xp know...there both installed and running perfectly...i want to make xp go away
[18:04] <Gnea> Kartagis: hrm, no. the 'range' is reserving a pool of ip's to use - since you're using .2 as dns and .1 as a router, clearly you wouldn't want those being in the default pool (1-254)
[18:04] <rostaman> Sev or donkeykong:  Is there a preferred IDE for C++ dev on Debian, etc.?  Vague question, I know.
[18:04] <MrHankey> are there anny whocan tell me why my amsn doesent work
[18:04] <bazhang> nerdyperdy, then delete that partition; though this is a fresh install of ubuntu right?
[18:04] <nerdyperdy> yea

[18:04] <nerdyperdy> delete what from were
[18:04] <nerdyperdy> ???
[18:04] <bazhang> nerdyperdy, then why not just use entire disk
[18:04] <MrHankey> plz help me!
[18:04] <MrHankey> flasklapp.webs.com
[18:04] <Seveas> rostaman, eclipse is often used. There's also geany and kdevelop. But I'm the wrong person to ask as my ide is vim :)
[18:04] <nerdyperdy> im tryin dazhang
[18:05] <bazhang> gparted livecd or the ubuntu live cd can do it nerdyperdy
[18:05] <rostaman> heh, Sev :)
[18:05] <rostaman> I know Eclipse from Java dev, so...
[18:05] <MrHankey> flasklapp.webs.com is the best page ever!
[18:05] <nerdyperdy> im confused
[18:05] <Gnea> !ot | MrHankey
[18:05] <bazhang> MrHankey, dont spam here
[18:05] <Seveas> !ops | MrHankey spamming
[18:05] <Gnea> Seveas: no need to be so hasty :)
[18:05] <Seveas> ah bazhang, sorry I was too slow :)
[18:05] <Seveas> Gnea, I hate spam :)
[18:05] <donkeykong> rostaman: i think eclipse should work for that ... no ?
[18:05] <Seveas> Gnea, and one never knows how much attention the ops are paying
[18:06] <Gnea> Seveas: so do I ;)
[18:06] <Kartagis> brb
[18:06] <nerdyperdy> so...what do i need to do????
[18:06] <donkeykong> long time since i programmed .net or c++
[18:06] <Gnea> Seveas: oh, they pay a good amount of attention these days
[18:06] <fisheater> hello
[18:06] <bazhang> nerdyperdy, easy way or more difficult way
[18:06] <nerdyperdy> easy
[18:06] <n8tuser> ldiamond - you   gksu system-config-printer  and then select add class
[18:06] <Shammah> bazhang: Still glitchy, but less however
[18:06] <bazhang> Shammah, which drivers and how installed
[18:06] <Gnea> n8tuser: he left awhile ago
[18:06] <donkeykong> anybody know a good irc channel/server for java discussion ?
[18:07] <n8tuser> too bad
[18:07] <Gnea> donkeykong: #java
[18:07] <fisheater> super basic question: does 'sudo get-apt install" get info from the live CD or from the internet?
[18:07] <NintendoGuy0> I don't know what modem I have :l
[18:07] <Gnea> fisheater: it depends what's set in sources.list
[18:07] <bazhang> fisheater, is the cd in your sources.list?
[18:08] <bazhang> jinx
[18:08] <Gnea> NintendoGuy0: internal?
[18:08] <NintendoGuy0> I have an Advent 7110
[18:08] <fisheater> dang, i didnt ever think of it... let me check
[18:08] <Shammah> Hmmm
[18:08] <AshTray-> "ebox | 0.11.99-0ubuntu11 | intrepid/universe | source, all" That means ebox supports interpid. Still.. http://pastebin.com/m7f03a63a
[18:08] <NintendoGuy0> It's an internal modem, yes
[18:08] <Seveas> fisheater, both. It reads the package list from the system you're on (so if you're on the live cd it does that) and packages from the internet or package cd's
[18:08] <NintendoGuy0> as opposed to a portable or mobile modem.
[18:08] <bazhang> fisheater, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # in front of cd
[18:08] <Gnea> aka external, yeah
[18:08] <earthen> is it possable and easy to install the ubuntu setup disk on a flash drive
[18:08] <woow-reseau> i got problem to write file on my new dd
[18:08] <Shammah> bazhang: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI - I followed to guide to install the latest 8.12 from ati.com
[18:09] <woow-reseau> he is on ext3
[18:09] <NintendoGuy0> Alright Gnea
[18:09] <Shammah> I did the checks like flgrxinfo etc to check it, and it says they're installed correctly
[18:09] <woow-reseau> someone?
[18:09] <NintendoGuy0> Any ideas what modem I might have?
[18:09] <fisheater> great thaks for the info!
[18:09] <NintendoGuy0> :l
[18:09] <Gnea> you know, they throw this freenx-vnc package in and, I have to wonder why: http://pastebin.com/d1579986a
[18:10] <onetinsoldier> Shammah: fglrxinfo? are you sure you have and used that command?
[18:10] <bazhang> nerdyperdy, lets keep this in channel please; easy way is just to reinstall and use entire disk, slightly less easy is to use gparted live cd or ubuntu live cd and delete the xp partition and format as ext3
[18:10] <fisheater> i am trying to put ubuntu on an acer aspire 5000, but cant access the wired nor wireless net. thanks for you help
[18:10] <Shammah> ontinsoldier: It was out of the tip of my head :-)

[18:10] <Shammah> onetinsoldier: I used the exact command given on the site ;)
[18:10] <nerdyperdy> so what do i do???
[18:10] <NintendoGuy0> fisheater, i think I've the same problem
[18:11] <bazhang> nerdyperdy, did you just not read what I wrote above? ^^
[18:11] <NintendoGuy0> how far do you get?
[18:11] <donkeykong> gnea: it says i need to be identified to join channel. what does that mean ?

[18:29] <Gnea> iLogic: #openoffice.org
[18:29] <Seveas> iLogic, I'd try #openoffice or #openoffice.org
[18:29] <bazhang> warthog, is it supported in linux?
[18:29] <Bezerk> hi buddies
[18:29] <warthog> i dunno
[18:29] <aeos> I'm trying to install 8.10 from a live cd, I get to step 4/7, partitioning, and then it hangs because it doesn't see any partitions. I used gparted to create two partitions, in addition to my previous partition and swap partition, but it couldn't see any of them. help?
[18:29] <iLogic> thanks .org works :)
[18:29] <warthog> i am noobie

[18:30] <bazhang> Bezerk, #ubuntu-br
[18:30] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: are you at a console terminal now? or in x windows(just making sure)
[18:30] <Bezerk> that room is too bored
[18:30] <Gnea> xjunior: try going to console and using this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[18:31] <warthog> hello? I need to configure a scanner on my Brother DCP-135C. I dont know hoe. can some one help me?
[18:31] <dstar> For that matter, exactly what component _is_ it that does the OSD for the volume control?
[18:31] <Gnea> !scanner | warthog
[18:31] <Seveas> warthog, http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-BROTHER doesn't look good
[18:31] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: im tty1 so i gues console terminal

[18:32] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: ok... try --> sudo Xorg -configure
[18:32] <Seveas> warthog, ah, look at hspaans' link. Seems to work
[18:32] <Bezerk> I would talk in english with my fellas
[18:32] <aeos> how do i get the installer to recognize and install to my partitions?
[18:33] <Gnea> twocats1fish: got an ubuntu question?
[18:33] <doglino> hello
[18:33] <warthog> Seveas, it didn't give me any info of my own printer. thx anyway
[18:33] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: i did it goes blank and thats it I dont get nothing afterwards which is weird im wondering would a previous xorg file from archlinux work
[18:33] <doglino> why the sound works in rythmbox but don't works in youtube(by firefox)?
[18:33] <Seveas> Pirate_Hunter, it could but make sure you back up current files
[18:33] <warthog> any other help with my scanner?
[18:34] <hspaans> doglino: 8.04 or 8.10?
[18:34] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: no message about it creating a file after the screen comes back?
[18:34] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/browse/product+brother-dcp-135c?id=6498 warthog
[18:34] <doglino> 8,04
[18:34] <Pirate_Hunter> Seveas wouldnt make a difference since the current one is the defualt one made after install
[18:34] <ScottG> Every time I update my graphics driver and reboot, the "Ubuntu" login screen gets pushed over to the far right as does the username and password promt. I tried removing the driver and it worked, but as soon as I updated it again it did the same thing after I restarted. Can someone help?
[18:34] <warthog> i already tried dat. i need drivers
[18:34] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: nope nada just blank screen
[18:34] <Danoz2k8> Why hello.

[18:35] <hspaans> doglino: there is an extra package to get it working. flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound if I'm not mistaken

[18:36] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: any suggestions

[18:41] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: yup one sec
[18:42] <AJC_Z0> xjunior: Works for gdm or for you when you log in?
[18:42] <lvlint67> xjunior, i think i had a problem similar to that. Fixed it by lowering the refresh rate on the monitor

[18:54] <eidolon> hi folks - i'm having a problem with xscreensaver constnatly 'blinking'.  even on the preview mode (running xscreensaver-demo as well) - the thumbnail animation 'blinks'.
[18:54] <eidolon> any ideas?
[18:55] <thebloggu> how can i change my keyboard to logitech media ? it is not on the options and cant use media keys
[18:55] <shams> hspaans: thank you
[18:55] <onetinsoldier> eidolon: does it look ok in full-screen?
[18:55] <thebloggu> hspaans, you have seen the post ?
[18:55] <Abhaile> Is there a channel that is less for troubleshooting and more for general OS discussion?
[18:55] <onetinsoldier> eidolon: or is full-screen the same as preview?
[18:55] <gaintsura> ar
[18:55] <eidolon> onetinsoldier: full screen shows the same behaviour.  blinkyblinky.
[18:56] <fosco__> Abhaile, #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:56] <eidolon> like something is trying to update a window while the screensaver is running.

[18:56] <thebloggu> how can i change my keyboard to logitech media ? it is not on the options and cant use media keys
[18:56] <lvlint67> eidolon, are you running compiz?
[18:56] <eidolon> lvlint67: yessir.
[18:56] <wwb> for the person who was wondering if i was an ubuntu staff member, no.
[18:57] <lvlint67> eidolon, i think that's your problem. form what i gather it's an unresolved bug
[18:57] <wwb> i was Canonical
[18:57] <bazhang> wwb, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:57] <eidolon> lvlint67: oh really.  Huh.  let me refine my google searches a bit.
[18:57] <lvlint67> does it work if you disable compiz (i know it's not a solution but to isolate the problem)
[18:57] <onetinsoldier> eidolon: what output do you get from? --> grep drivers /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[19:10] <zelda> hi lol

[19:10] <Guest58288> how are u :D?
[19:10] <sigmab3ta> until i reboot. i assume this is somehow restarting a USB management service of some sort. is there a way to do that without rebooting?
[19:10] <onetinsoldier> Shammah: i don't know about shrinking / unless you originally formatted as LVM. however, i do think you could move /home to a new partition, yes

[19:25] <dstar> Does anyone know if there is any way to disable the on-screen display that pops up when I use the volume-up/down buttons on my laptop? My laptop has a front-mounted wheel that's stupidly sensitive and easily bumped, so it's popping up all the time....
[19:26] <bazhang> Vampire, there is no 9.6
[19:26] <sigmab3ta> Vampire: there's no ubuntu 9.6. Ubuntu releases are named after the date they're released - 8.10 was released in 2008 October. there's no 9.6 because 2009 June hasn't happened yet
[19:26] <bazhang> Vampire, please take chat elsewhere
[19:26] <RivitingOne> Would it be possible to have 2 copies of Ubuntu installed that shared the same partitions? Not sure I'm explaining this right. Like have 2 installs that could access the same program... like I click an icon located on the desktop running on the OS located on Partition A or C and it will access a program on partition B.
[19:26] <Vampire> i will go Sory
[19:26] <mdmkolbe> What command line tool will help me extract the dimentions of a JPEG? (Something like what "file" does for PNG)
[19:26] <Vampire> Bye Bye All
[19:26] <fosco__> RivitingOne, you can share /home and swap
[19:27] <hak5fan> RivitingOne: What would you use that for
[19:27] <lvlint67> fosco_, i would think you could, with some work, share alll of the folders if they are partioned and mounted correctly
[19:27] <onetinsoldier> RivitingOne: you might only want to share partitions like   /usr/local and/or /opt and/or /home
[19:27] <nDuff> mdeslaur, GraphicsMagick should do that
[19:28] <fosco__> lvlint67, sharing all folders has no sense
[19:28] <lvlint67> fosco_,  no but sharing folders with common programs does
[19:28] <zelda> why not put it on a NAS device?
[19:28] <lvlint67> because NAs is expensive
[19:29] <Pirate_Hunter> hak5fan: that didnt work my problm is that when i startx it goes black and i cant use any commands agterwards
[19:29] <zelda> lvlint67: not really. I have a NAS device that i made out of a few hard drives.
[19:29] <mdmkolbe> nDuff: (I assume you were refering to me) thx, that seems to do the job just fine
[19:30] <RivitingOne> Hak5fan: My issue is that the video driver I currently have works excellent for playing games but has very poor performance with dvd and video playback. I have used another Driver that had supurb video quality but I was unable to get my games to work. I am thinking I could have 2 seperate installes of ubuntu that had different drivers installed that I could use for video playback or games.
[19:30] <hak5fan> Pirate_Hunter: Does it print any error messages on screen?
[19:30] <Pirate_Hunter> how do i mount usb through command line
[19:31] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: see if you can spot the device and partition with  sudo parted -l
[19:31] <Pirate_Hunter> hak5fan: no i cant see anythind I used to know a command that tested X without actually going into it and printed errors but i forgot and this way i not helping me at all
[19:31] <GNUtoo> hello the computer shut down itself during the ubuntu upgrade...so I made a dpkg --configure -a and an apt-get autoremove...is it sufficent?
[19:31] <meareweird> hello
[19:31] <hak5fan> RivitingOne:  Just use to different xorg.conf files and start x with whichever xorg.conf file you want
[19:31] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: partition is there
[19:32] <lacax> hi all
[19:32] <Pirate_Hunter> can someoen tell me how to mount usb pen drive through command line?
[19:32] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: ok, make a mount point in either /media or /mnt and use the 'mount' command to mount it
[19:33] <GNUtoo> sudo do-release-upgrade doesn't work
[19:33] <lacax> i just installed the ubuntu 8.10 and i dont't know how to make my 5.1 sound system work
[19:33] <Kartagis> can someone help me fix my dhclient.conf please?
[19:33] <lacax> can anybody help me?
[19:33] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: doen the mount point
[19:33] <Kartagis> !anyone | lacax
[19:33] <RivitingOne> hak5fan: I am not sure how I would do that. I am fairly new to linux and not at all sure of what the capabilities of this OS are.
[19:33] <Pirate_Hunter> hak5fan: any suggestions with my xorg problem
[19:33] <[Spooky]> Cant alien make debs of *tar.bz2 files?
[19:34] <gumpish> =/ So I have some source code that has a makefile and all that... how can I tell what it's going to install (and where) before I run make install? (I'm working with software that isn't in the repositories.)
[19:34] <hak5fan> RivitingOne:  I'm not quite sure  how myself, but give me the name of the two different video drivers and I'll give it a shot
[19:34] <zelda> sorry, offtopic: anyone use Xchat?
[19:35] <Smilee> hello
[19:35] <lacax> Kartagis, i asked it a little upper
[19:35] <shipz> yes
[19:35] <shipz> xchat is my hero :)
[19:35] <Smilee> i have xp pro but want to install ubuntu: does it matter if ubuntu is on 2nd partition and xp on 1st ?
[19:35] <zelda> mind if I PM you shipz?
[19:35] <nDuff> zelda, why? are you having a problem with it you want help with? if so, ask about the problem, don't ask if anyone uses it first.
[19:35] <lacax> i want to my 5.1 sound system work normally
[19:35] <orudie> how can i install ssh-server on 8.10 ubuntu server ?
[19:35] <nDuff> Smilee, that will work.
[19:35] <lacax> but don't know how
[19:36] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: you don't know how to use the mount command?
[19:36] <shipz> Smilee, not that I know of, long as the bootloader is configured properly
[19:36] <Pirate_Hunter> does anyone know a command to test xorg sever file withoutt he system starting x but instead pinting replies from x
[19:36] <Smilee> nDuff: what's the best way to have both xp and ubuntu installed ?
[19:36] <zelda> How do I ignore all incoming messages?
[19:36] <WebcamWonder> !dualboot | Smilee
[19:36] <Imaginativeone_> on which os?
[19:36] <Ahadiel> lacax, pastebin the output of aplay -l
[19:36] <Smilee> htanks
[19:36] <Smilee> thanks
[19:36] <Smilee> *
[19:36] <Imaginativeone_> oops
[19:36] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: i do know its that i dont know the device for the usb the previous command u gave only gave me the physical partitions i.e. sda1 & 2
[19:36] <Ahadiel> lacax, and are you using Pulseaudio?
[19:37] <lacax> Ahadiel: yes
[19:37] <RivitingOne> Hak5fan: Well, the on I am using now is the proprietary driver that you ckicl the check box for under System-> Administrator -> Drivers. The other one was installed with a program called envyNG. I'm not sure if those are the names your looking for or not.
[19:37] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: well a usb device will likely show up as something other than your hard drive device
[19:38] <ggsdgdsg1> How to install GRUB from live CD?
[19:38] <Ahadiel> lacax, also pastebin /etc/pulse/default.pa
[19:38] <Kartagis> can someone help me fix my dhclient.conf please? it isn't giving out IPs
[19:38] <Ben1> hi guys
[19:38] <nDuff> Smilee, the links you've been given on dual-booting look helpful. One other thing to consider if you want to run them both simultaneously is possibly using VirtualBox to run your Windows system in a VM; the down side of that is that it isn't particularly suitable for gaming.
[19:38] <bazhang> !grub > ggsdgdsg1
[19:38] <lacax> Ahadiel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96205/
[19:38] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: ok but tis not showing up so what should i do
[19:38] <Smilee> how much space do you suggest me to use for ubuntu partition ?
[19:38] <RivitingOne> If I remember correctly my usb devise was listed as media if that helps at all
[19:38] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: if it's not showing up then i don'tknow
[19:38] <Ben1> anyone able to help me with a bit of a custom install??
[19:38] <Ahadiel> lacax, Does your card support 5.1?
[19:38] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: ok
[19:39] <nDuff> Smilee, depends on what you want to do with it; if it's just general desktop usage, 10GB should be fine; if you want to do heavy development or such, I'd allocate significantly more.
[19:39] <lacax> Ahadiel, in windows worked perfectly
[19:39] <Smilee> nDuff: i used ubuntu 2 years ago: i use pc for everything (but im not a programmer nor developer)
[19:39] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: lsmod | grep usb   and make sure your usb drivers are loaded i guess
[19:39] <hak5fan> RivitingOne: I could try to make two different versions of xorg conf for you so you can change between the to different video drivers. But I need the dirver names
[19:39] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: usbcore               175888  4 usbhid,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd
[19:40] <Ahadiel> lacax, Ah sorry, I meant aplay -L
[19:40] <levidos> help!! how can i install a gtk2 theme?
[19:40] <lacax> Ahadiel, here's /etc/.../default.pa
[19:40] <lacax> http://paste.ubuntu.com/96206/
[19:40] <Smilee> what's teh best ubuntu version for a pc with 256 mb ram and 800 mhz cpu ?
[19:40] <WebcamWonder> levidos: System -> Preferences -> Appearence, isntall it there
[19:40] <pschorf> bug 245898 > pschorf
[19:40] <WebcamWonder> !xubuntu | Smilee
[19:40] <nDuff> Smilee, xubuntu, I'd think.
[19:40] <pschorf> bug 245898 | pschorf
[19:40] <Smilee> ok
[19:40] <RivitingOne> ﻿hak5fan: Where do I find the actual names?
[19:41] <Ben1> I need to install linux on a 512 HDD. The only way to do it is via my xubuntu live cd. It only needs CLI, no gui rqd. any ideas?
[19:41] <lacax> Ahadiel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96210/
[19:41] <hak5fan> RivitingOne: didn't you have them working....
[19:41] <zelda> Hey with that NAS stuff, couldnt he use 3 HDD and have all the /home on the second?
[19:41] <WebcamWonder> Ben1: What is a 512 HDD? 512 KB, 512 MB, 512 GB, 512 TB, 512 PB?
[19:41] <Ahadiel> lacax, Okay, I'll put together the modified default.pa; Make a back up of the old one before replacing it.
[19:41] <Ward1983> Ben1, debootstrap? :)
[19:42] <Ben1> 512MB... debootstrap????
[19:42] <zelda> Set it all up with Gparted?
[19:42] <levidos> thanks WebcamWonder
[19:42] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: it is showing now as sdb1 but that cant be right eitherway i tried to mount it using this command sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb and it tells me device is not found any suggestions
[19:42] <WebcamWonder> levidos: No problems
[19:42] <RivitingOne> I have the proprietary one working now but all I did was click a check box that said use enable in the hardware drivers
[19:42] <Ward1983> Ben1, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot
[19:42] <WebcamWonder> Ben1: Alternative CD can do a CLI based install IIRC
[19:42] <hak5fan> RivitingOne: What video card brand and model do you have?
[19:42] <RivitingOne> ﻿hak5fan: Ati X800
[19:42] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: try... mount -t fat16 /dev/sdb1 /media/usb
[19:43] <Ward1983> Ben1, or just a minimal install, there is some minimal CD for ubuntu too, i dont remember the exact name
[19:43] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: if that doesn't work then try  fat32
[19:43] <zelda> RivitingOne: thats a nice card. I have the X850 Pro
[19:43] <Ward1983> Ben1, or trow the old disk out and get a 20GB one for 5euro somewhere
[19:43] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: or maybe it's vfat.. not sure
[19:43] <Ward1983> or for free
[19:43] <Ahadiel> lacax, here is the modified /etc/pulse/default.pa => http://paste.ubuntu.com/96212/
[19:43] <hak5fan> pastebin your current xorg.conf somewhere like pastebin.ca
[19:43] <Ben1> webcamwonder the trouble is that I need to boot from a usb CD drive with a weird controller chip, xubuntu is one of very few capable of loading
[19:43] <raylu> onetinsoldier: that won't fix anything
[19:44] <onetinsoldier> raylu: ok
[19:44] <nicklas_> öj
[19:44] <Kartagis> Package dhcpd has no installation candidate <--- what does this mean?
[19:44] <Flannel> !minimal | Ward1983, Ben1
[19:44] <raylu> onetinsoldier: the error is that /dev/sdb1 isn't found, so it's not a type issue
[19:44] <lacax> Ahadiel, thx i''ll try it out
[19:44] <RivitingOne> ﻿hak5fan: All it says is ATI accelerated graphics driver then a box for the checkmark and a little green check with the words in use by it
[19:44] <Ahadiel> lacax, k
[19:44] <zelda> RivitingOne: THats what it should do.
[19:44] <Ahadiel> lacax, I've done the same thing on 2 other systems, and they both work perfectly.
[19:44] <Flannel> Kartagis: it means "dhcpd" isn't a package (or your repositories don't know about it anyway), in your case, it's not a package
[19:44] <onetinsoldier> raylu: roger...
[19:44] <Ahadiel> lacax, The only problem is you can't change individual channel volumes.
[19:44] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: it just doesnt accept sdb1
[19:45] <WebcamWonder> Kartagis: I think it comes with dhclient
[19:45] <hak5fan> RivitingOne: Pastebin the contents of /etc/x11/xorg.conf and send me the link
[19:45] <Ben1> thanks flannel. I'll see if that will boot.
[19:45] <onetinsoldier> ok, so...    sudo parted -l   ..shows /dev/sdb1   ...yet /dev/sdb1 doesn't exist, hmmmm
[19:45] <The_Rebel> why is linux-kernel-devel missing from intrepid ibex..
[19:46] <zelda> hak5fan: I had an issue with the autoconfig stuff messing up my xorg.conf. I had to use a 7.10 disk and ran the dkpg command to get it to work.
[19:46] <hak5fan> zelda: so it works now?
[19:46] <WebcamWonder> onetinsoldier: Does sudo fdisk -l also show this /dev/sdb1?
[19:46] <raylu> Pirate_Hunter: have you run "sudo fdisk -l"? also, ls /dev/disk/* may help
[19:46] <lacax> so, then a system reboot... brb
[19:46] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: thats what it says just restarted anyway but yeah i need to mount it so i can get my previous xorg file
[19:47] <Pirate_Hunter> raylu: ok
[19:47] <onetinsoldier> Pirate_Hunter: i hear ya. i just don't know what to think of that myself
[19:47] <zelda> Hak5Fan: yeah mines working fine. Its that autoconfigure crap. Tell him to disable that feature and try to dkpg in 8.10. if not throw in a live 7.10 disk and dpkg command, then copy and paste that in teh 8.10 xorg.
[19:48] <The_Rebel> why is linux-kernel-devel missing from intrepid ibex..
[19:48] <Pirate_Hunter> onetinsoldier: yah i guess trying to bring an old system to life is just hard
[19:48] <onetinsoldier> WebcamWonder: anything wrong with   parted  ?? imo, fdisk is ancient and outdated now, and shouldn't be used. just my opinion
[19:48] <RivitingOne> hak5fan: http://pastebin.com/d279f3f8e
[19:48] <zelda> hak5fan: yeah thats his problem.
[19:48] <WebcamWonder> onetinsoldier: I don't think so... It is more of a convention I guess
[19:48] <zelda> RivitingOne: Do you have a 7.10 live cd?
[19:49] <onetinsoldier> WebcamWonder: roger
[19:49] <RivitingOne> zelda: no, just the 8.04 I started with
[19:49] <zelda> RivitingOne: go download one.
[19:49] <zelda> get that going while your here talking.
[19:49] <zelda> I had the same issue you are having.
[19:49] <onetinsoldier> WebcamWonder: consdier replacing   sudo fidsk -l   -with-   sudo parted -l   ... :-)
[19:50] <Melio1> how do i know what file system i'm running
[19:50] <Melio1> and how do i use su -
[19:50] <RivitingOne> the entire live CD?
[19:50] <zelda> Does anyone know how to turn off that autoconfigure feature in xorg.conf?
[19:50] <Melio1> when i try it, it sais authentication failure
[19:50] <WebcamWonder> onetinsoldier: :)... Last time I used any partiting utility was an eternity ago :D
[19:50] <zelda> RivitingOne: Yes.
[19:50] <Pirate_Hunter> raylu: yeah tried that comamnd the usb is picked up but fdisk -l gives me sort of errors like showing the usb as different parts
[19:50] <onetinsoldier> WebcamWonder:  i hear ya
[19:50] <Melio1> RivitingOne: riveting
[19:50] <lacax> Ahadiel, i made a system reboot too, but still only two speakers work
[19:51] <JMS32> How to know from what partition i m booted?
[19:51] <onetinsoldier> Melio1: simply type in...   mount
[19:51] <Melio1> onetinsoldier: thanks
[19:51] <rostaman_> my new dual core CPU is always showing 100% util on one of the cores...I'm running Mint FWIW...is that right?
[19:51] <Melio1> onetinsoldier: cool /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
[19:51] <Melio1> i need that to be ext2
[19:51] <zelda> RivitingOne: DO you have a USB thumb drive?
[19:51] <onetinsoldier> Melio1: you're welcome... and for the su, i  use    sudo -i   ..if i want a persistent root prompt
[19:51] <neo644> For some reason, my arrow keys tend to get stuck and stay stuck for everything except browsing menus and file browsers until I log out. How can I fix this?
[19:51] <Melio1> is there a defualt su - password
[19:51] <RivitingOne> zelda: yes
[19:52] <Melio1> sudo -i will stick
[19:52] <zelda> good.
[19:52] <Melio1> ok thanks
[19:52] <WebcamWonder> Melio1: Any particular reason why you want to downgrade from ext3 to ext2?
[19:52] <zelda> you'll need it
[19:52] <Melio1> i'm going to convert this filesystem to ext2
[19:52] <Squideshi> What is the difference between the "Add/Remove" option under "Applications" and the "Synaptic Package Manager" under "System > Administration"?
[19:52] <Melio1> WebcamWonder: ext2 is faster/more efficent on ssd cards
[19:52] <Melio1> this is an acer aspire one
[19:52] <Melio1> it has an 8 gig ssd
[19:52] <neo644> Synaptic is a bit more advanced
[19:52] <Ahadiel> lacax, Hrm.
[19:52] <sheep> Squideshi: add/remove is simpler and not as powerful
[19:52] <zelda> Add/Remove is worthless imo
[19:52] <WebcamWonder> Squideshi: Add/Remove programs only shows packages as programs. Synaptic shows all packages individually
[19:52] <Ahadiel> lacax, sudo apt-get install padevchooser; then run "padevchooser".
[19:52] <RivitingOne> zelda: ok so I am downloading 7.10 live CD?
[19:53] <zelda> yes
[19:53] <girao> I can not see the trust webcam with amsn
[19:54] <Squideshi> OK. When I look in Synaptic Package Manager, I see three entries for most categories (i.e. Universe, Multiverse, etc.) What does this mean?
[19:54] <Ahadiel> lacax, left-click the icon it brings up, and go to Volume Control.
[19:54] <GillyGilly2> can someone help me with a virtual pc install of ubunut64? I have a 64 bit processor, but i get the message "Your CPU dose not support long mode. Use a 32bit distribution"
[19:54] <raylu> neo644: bit more advanced tan what?
[19:54] <zelda> RivitingOne: I have an X850Pro and I had the same issues where it wouldnt recognize any of my hardware. I didnt catch the exact issue you were having yet im assuming by the looks of it you had the same where you want a certain screen res?
[19:54] <genii> Melio1: tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/foo
[19:54] <sheep> GillyGilly2: I think virtualpc is only 32-bit
[19:54] <Melio1> genii: i read that on a fourm
[19:54] <genii> Melio1: Clears the flag indicating journalled (ext3)
[19:54] <lacax> Ahadiel, and now?
[19:55] <GillyGilly2> i downloaded the 64 bit version of VPC
[19:55] <GillyGilly2> er, im pretty sure i did
[19:55] <Ahadiel> lacax, does surround51:0 show up under Output Devices?
[19:55] <onetinsoldier> !multiverse > Squideshi
[19:55] <rubydiamond> what is the best commandline torrent downloader software
[19:55] <lacax> Ahadiel, yes
[19:55] <Ahadiel> lacax, And under Playback, do you see the application you're using to play music?
[19:55] <lvlint67> GillyGilly2, i get the same problem with sun virtual box, haven't looked into a solution yet
[19:55] <Ahadiel> lacax, How many channels under surround51?
[19:55] <girao> I can not see the webcam with amsn
[19:56] <lacax> Ahadiel, only two (Front Left and Front Right)
[19:56] <GillyGilly2> hmmmmmmm
[19:56] <nicklas__> fjkgbsdfkjgbsdfkgjh
[19:56] <Ahadiel> lacax, hrm...
[19:56] <Pirate_Hunter> can anyone suggest how
[19:56] <Pirate_Hunter> oops
[19:56] <NicEXE> how can I find my Ubuntu partition in Vista?
[19:56] <Pirate_Hunter> can anyone help me identify why X is not working please
[19:56] <RivitingOne> Zelda: The trouble I am having is that I get horizontal lines and stuttering when I try and play movies or dvd's with my current drivers but with the driver EnvyNG installs I don't have the issue. But with that driver I can't play openGL games.
[19:57] <Squideshi> onetinsoldier: Thanks.
[19:57] <raylu> !ifs
[19:57] <Melio1> this isnt going to be easy
[19:57] <raylu> !search ifs

[19:57] <gaintsura> hey all, I'm trying to configure OpenLDAP/slapd on my system for samba sharing, and I'm pretty sure I remember server class... DC= 'domain controller' right? what should that be set to, if its only on my system?
[19:57] <lvlint67> NicEXE, open disk manager, it will likely be the only one that is not recginised
[19:57] <raylu> nicklas__: yes you can. ext2ifs
[19:57] <Melio1> because i can't unmount the /dev/sda1 while stuff is running on it
[19:57] <Melio1> or it'll smoke it
[19:57] <bfig> i am having trouble using madwifi to configure my atheros wireless adapter
[19:57] <The_PHP_Jedi> Sup? If anyone is familiar w/ APCI and an error that says "incorrect checksum in table [OEMB]...", I'll be eternally grateful :P

[19:57] <RivitingOne> zelda: I'm looking at about 2 hours 20 min to d/l the 7.10 cd
[19:58] <zelda> RivitingOne: Not sure on that. But looks like your xorg.conf isnt seeing any hardware.
[19:58] <onetinsoldier> Squideshi: you're welcome. i relly like the 'Tongue-in-Cheek' descriptions they have on there  :-)
[19:58] <raylu> AshTray-: ewwww squirelmail
[19:58] <bfig> to be more precise, i haven't been able to make it work at all :(. can somebody help me a bit? i haven't been lucky with google and i'm very new to linux
[19:58] <Ahadiel> lacax, This is what mine looks like. http://omploader.org/vMTJvOQ
[19:58] <onetinsoldier> $release: Don’t touch it, I like consistency, even with my bugs.
[19:58] <AshTray-> raylu: WHat's with it ?
[19:58] <GreedyB> is it worth it to install KDE stuff for amarok?
[19:58] <raylu> AshTray-: it's a webmail client (and it sucks, even for one)
[19:58] <Pirate_Hunter> can anyone help me identify why X is not working please
[19:58] <Melio1> ok i'm gonna boot with the usb installer i made
[19:58] <raylu> GreedyB: try exaile
[19:58] <onetinsoldier> $devel: I can take it. Seriously. If you break my X, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
[19:59] <RivitingOne> What exactly am I going to do with the 7.1 CD?
[19:59] <Melio1> then go thru that conversion by hand
[19:59] <zelda> RivitingOne: Ok once you do that, load up the liveCD and then get to terminal and run the dkpg command. go through it. THen you want to stay in term and run sudo gkedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:59] <nicklas__> grinrok juflin
[19:59] <AshTray-> raylu: It's a small server, i need a small thing.
[20:00] <NicEXE> how can I see my files that are in ubuntu's partition using vista?
[20:00] <ariqs> ubuntu seriously needs a program like tcp view for windows. Now, I have a process that's hogging my slow connection, how do I fgure out what it is
[20:00] <zelda> RivitingOne: make sure it sees your hardware, then copy the file to your usb drive. Load up 8.10 and get to terminal and copy/paste from the 7.10 file. That should help
[20:00] <lacax> Ahadiel, and here's mine http://omploader.org/vMTJvYQ
[20:01] <ariqs> someoen told me to type ps x before, which seems almost completely worthless. It jsut seems to list all my processes
[20:01] <BlackDex> hello there..
[20:01] <BlackDex> Is there a way to count the amount of open tcp/network connections?
[20:01] <hak5fan> Pirate_Hunter: I can try to help you with X if you pm me
[20:01] <RivitingOne> Zelda: Might should have mentioned I am on 8.04
[20:01] <onetinsoldier> NicEXE: download and install   ext2 IFS  ...do a google search on that
[20:01] <raylu> hak5fan: it's better to keep support in this channel
[20:01] <RonPaul> is there an onscreen keyboard in ubuntu.  if so, .here can i find it.  Thanks
[20:02] <The_PHP_Jedi> Sup? If anyone is familiar w/ APCI and an error that says "incorrect checksum in table [OEMB]...", I'll be eternally grateful :P
[20:02] <hak5fan> raylu: It's very noisy and hard to follow a problem
[20:02] <The_PHP_Jedi> oh, hey hak5fan :)
[20:02] <raylu> hak5fan: get a client that highlights. for users' safety and everyone elses' benefit, it's still better to keep it in here
[20:02] <hak5fan> The_PHP_Jedi: Ho
[20:02] <The_PHP_Jedi> hak5fan, what's your nick over at the Hak.5 chan?
[20:02] <raylu> hak5fan: also, something that shows you the last messages containing a keyword (someone's nick) is very useful :D
[20:02] <onetinsoldier> NicEXE: hwoever.. sorry, that may very well not work for Vista. i don't know. i've only used it in XP
[20:02] <Ahadiel> lacax, Yeah, I'm not sure then. Sorry =/
[20:02] <ariqs> I want to see what programs are using what internet resources
[20:02] <RonPaul> on screen keyboard?
[20:03] <samuraicrow> My friend's Ubuntu 8.10 system aborts after the GRUB window but will continue after waiting at the busybox prompt for 5 seconds and typing exit.  What's the easiest way to delay the root mount abort?
[20:03] <hak5fan> The_PHP_Jedi: I'm not over there to much and I can't remember my password for it, but iot used to be blackhawk
[20:03] <raylu> onetinsoldier: i'm using it on vista now :D
[20:03] <lacax> Ahadiel, here's my default.pa again: http://paste.ubuntu.com/96225/
[20:03] <hak5fan> The_PHP_Jedi: So you're on ubuntu, huh?
[20:03] <onetinsoldier> raylu: oh! ok, cool. thank you for the info. :-)
[20:03] <bfig> can somebody help me set up my atheros wireless adapter using madwifi?
[20:03] <Squideshi> I am missing a "TV" output when I type "xrandr -q" on my Dell Inspiron 1100. This laptop has a 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device with an s-video output. "man intel" indicates that the s-video output should be listed as "TV". Any clues as to why this output might be missing?
[20:04] <onetinsoldier> NicEXE: ok, raylu reports that ext2 IFS does work for Vista, cool.  :-)
[20:04] <Ahadiel> lacax, Not sure, everything looks like it should work.
[20:04] <The_PHP_Jedi> hak5fan, ah. I use it as my primary desktop OS, but my old HD died, and I'm having issues setting it up w/ some new hardware and new HD >.<
[20:04] <The_PHP_Jedi> If anyone is familiar w/ APCI and an error that says "incorrect checksum in table [OEMB]...", I'll be eternally grateful! >.<

[20:05] <Melio1> omg

[20:06] <Melio1> don't just ask like that
[20:06] <Melio1> lol

[20:07] <onetinsoldier> The_PHP_Jedi: you can try... making sure you have the latest BIOS for the vid card. but even then, you might still get the message
[20:07] <Abhaile> Hey guys, is it possible to create an "image"  or backup of my Ubuntu with all my synaptic downloads, settings, driver settings, compiz/desklet effects and files? Could I do this to a DVD or a jump drive?

[20:08] <Abhaile> Anybody know the answer to this?
[20:08] <onetinsoldier> The_PHP_Jedi: i think it might only be an issue with certain model if integrated intel video card, not sure... but i've seen it before anyway

[20:10] <kazagistar> that's overkill.  i only want to...

[20:11] <onetinsoldier> The_PHP_Jedi: roger... it's all you can do. it can pretty much be ignored if you have the latest BIOS then

[20:12] <onetinsoldier> The_PHP_Jedi: oh! hmmm, that's a bummer. you might keep asking how to solve this, don't repeat too often tho. or make a forum post, or do a lot of google searching
[20:12] <lacax> who use an 5.1 sound system?
[20:12] <AshTray-> SquirrelMail gives me this error: "Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost. 111 : Connection refused".

[20:13] <bfig> can somebody help me set up my atheros wireless adapter using madwifi?
[20:13] <onetinsoldier> Abhaile: i would think so. but i don't know how well that utility works though. but yeah, try that, or... burn this --> http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/   ..it has g4u on it
[20:14] <onetinsoldier> The_PHP_Jedi: cheers m8 and good luck
[20:14] <Ben1> just out of curiosity... how big (mb) is the base system?
[20:14] <Flannel> Ben1: You mean a default install of Ubuntu? or the minimal ones?
[20:14] <Ben1> minimal
[20:15] <Flannel> Ben1: Few hundred meg I believe.  I don't have hard and fast numbers though
[20:15] <Ben1> ok ta
[20:16] <nonix4> default doesn't fit comfortably in 4 gigs
[20:16] <Flannel> nonix4: yes it does.  Default install is right around 2G
[20:16] <nonix4> Flannel: comfortably means surviving one month of updates w/out cleaning up manually :)
[20:17] <nonix4> Flannel: yes, my virtual machine farm is using 4 gig images, and no, it ain't comfortable.
[20:17] <samuraicrow> My friend's Ubuntu 8.10 system aborts after the GRUB window but will continue after waiting at the busybox prompt for 5 seconds and typing exit.  What's the easiest way to delay the root mount abort?

[20:20] <lukasz> Hi everyone
[20:20] <samuraicrow> nonix:  Thanks.  What's the path of the boot script so I can edit it, please?
[20:20] <nonix4> ... and I think I did change it back in 6.06 timeframe. Sounds like the same bug... which kind of storage is it on?
[20:20] <lukasz> I have done the Dual Boot :D
[20:20] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: you're at a console terminal now?
[20:20] <poboy975linux> hello, is this where I can ask for networking help?
[20:21] <lukasz> I thinkso
[20:21] <balanar391> how do I go into rescue mode?
[20:21] <lvlint67> balanar391, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[20:21] <lukasz> dunno sorry!

[20:21] <onetinsoldier> ok
[20:21] <lukasz> I don't need to use a webcam on linux :D
[20:22] <nonix4> samuraicrow: involves quite a few steps actually... last one of them is update-initramfs
[20:22] <lukasz> I am so glad I did dual Boot :D
[20:22] <samuraicrow> nonix:  It was on a single hard drive.  No RAID or anything.
[20:22] <wasert> hi I'm trying to program a system shutdown
[20:22] <wasert> I'm using at

[20:22] <poboy975linux> hello, I have a network issue, I can ping all three comps on network. but cant share the internet connection from the laptop to other comps
[20:23] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: while at the console terminal, do --> invoke-rc.d gdm stop   (if gdm is your display manager)
[20:23] <mrwes> wasert: with a crontab?
[20:23] <wasert> no, I'm typing for example:
[20:23] <JMS32_> With what i can burn audio CD?
[20:23] <wasert> at 4:00pm Dec 30
[20:23] <wasert> then I type
[20:23] <wasert> sudo shutdown -h now
[20:23] <wasert> my password
[20:23] <wasert> then Ctrl+D
[20:23] <FloodBot2> wasert: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:23] <guntbert> !enter | wasert
[20:23] <mrwes> heh...
[20:24] <wasert> and I get: job 9 at Tue Dec 30 15:20:00 2008
[20:24] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: btw, you'll need sudo for that command
[20:24] <nonix4> samuraicrow: 'k... mainly seen such issues w/ raid+lvm consisting of 5+ devices... but just one hd can be slow enough
[20:24] <balanar391> yes i have sudo
[20:24] <lukasz> 160 gb Is More then enought for 2 operating systems :D
[20:24] <nDuff> wasert, is atd running?
[20:24] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: ok, did you get a response from that command?
[20:24] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: did it say OK ?
[20:24] <xun> hi, does anyone know why my laptop would just have the "dd" service running in the background(i don't think I've ran the "dd" command sinc the reboot)? it's taking 30% of my total cpu usage
[20:25] <wasert> nDuff, I don't know. I tried to do some tests and for example try: sudo apt-get update > file.txt . The file is created but blank
[20:25] <nDuff> wasert, if it's running, did it send you an email with the task output?
[20:25] <readygo> i have an intel 64-bit quadcore, should i use the amd64 disk image?
[20:25] <manja> how do I make my webcam work in skype?
[20:25] <onetinsoldier> readygo: yes
[20:25] <readygo> onetinsoldier: ok, thanks!
[20:25] <onetinsoldier> :-)
[20:25] <nDuff> wasert, if you want your at job to run as root, you should run "sudo at", not put the sudo inside the at job.
[20:25] <RivitingOne> Can anyone suggest a guide detailing steps to take after install?  Programs, libraries, and other steps I need to take to get functionality near what I would expect on windows.
[20:26] <nonix4> samuraicrow: if you have a look at /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init, can you spot where it stops?
[20:26] <johannes_> is there a command line tool to see the current cpu frequency?
[20:26] <wasert> nDuff, I can see this in /var/log/syslog: Dec 30 15:20:02 jelly atd[10701]: Exec failed for mail command: No such file or directory
[20:26] <nDuff> wasert, ahh; that's why you aren't getting failure reports
[20:26] <Slart> RivitingOne: oh.. you're already way past windows when the installer is finished =)
[20:26] <onetinsoldier> RivitingOne: i can send you my package list.. lol
[20:26] <wasert> ok I will try that, It's just that I saw that on ubuntuforums
[20:26] <Delvien> johannes_: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[20:26] <johannes_> thx
[20:27] <poboy975linux> Rivitingone: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683&highlight=ubuntu+opera+quicktime  it helps setup your media and stuff
[20:27] <nonix4> samuraicrow: or in another words, does it stop at 'log_begin_msg "Mounting root file system..."'?
[20:27] <lukasz> How can I get a channel list?
[20:27] <pos69sum> hi
[20:27] <pos69sum> anyone using proftpd over tls?
[20:27] <lukasz> nevermind
[20:27] <bfig> can somebody help me set up my atheros wireless adapter using madwifi?
[20:27] <Slart> RivitingOne: is it anything special you want to do/fix?
[20:28] <nDuff> wasert, install mailx or such.
[20:28] <samuraicrow> nonix4:  I'm not at my friend's computer at the moment but it usually pops up an interrupt message after about 5 seconds and will resume booting after exiting the shell.
[20:28] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: so, are you still in need of help?
[20:28] <Mimi> Hi all, is there a way i can share wireless from my laptop to my boyfriends laptop? (wifi to wifi card) we dont have a router
[20:28] <xun> does anyone know why my laptop would just run "dd" & "klogd" in the background by itself? they take a lot of CPU usage. thanks
[20:29] <nDuff> Mimi, you should be able to use ad-hoc wireless
[20:29] <balanar391> onetin: yes I stopped the gnome
[20:29] <simpleos> hi all, would someone kindly help me compile a kernel?
[20:29] <nDuff> Mimi, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc
[20:29] <poboy975linux> hi I could use some help figuring out why internet is not being shared
[20:30] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - not shared by whom?
[20:30] <RivitingOne> Slart: Not really. When I first installed I had absolutely no clue what I was doing and I have added a lot of random stuff trying to get some functionality. Just thinking if I could start over I might have better results
[20:30] <wasert> nDuff, Thank you I tried with sudo at, and It worked.
[20:30] <guntbert> !kernel | simpleos
[20:30] <manja> where do I get drivers for a creative webcam?
[20:30] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: ok, be a little responsive.. talk to me, let me know you're alive and kicking.  next step is --> sudo Xorg -configure    ...then look in either you home directory or in root's home directory for a file named 'xorg.conf.new'
[20:30] <RivitingOne> ﻿poboy975linux: Thanks, looks like what I was looking for
[20:30] <poboy975linux> I have a laptop that is connected to internet through wireless...I want to share that connection from ethernet on laptop to hub to other computers on network
[20:30] <mrwes> heh onetinsoldier
[20:31] <onetinsoldier> mrwes: howdy
[20:31] <mrwes> hello
[20:31] <nonix4> samuraicrow: been a couple years since I've had to deal w/ such issues... but "find /etc/initramfs-tools/" and "man update-initramfs" should get you started :)
[20:31] <n8tuser> !ics | poboy975linux
[20:31] <Mimi> nDuff,  Yeah, I thought so ^^; so I went to WicD and hit "Create Ad-Hoc". It had an IP number in there, I gave it the name XMAS,  and I didnt want security so I clicked ok.... Then it says 'Connected to XMAS at 0%" on *MY* laptop  LOL
[20:31] <poboy975linux> Rivitingone, Itll will get you a lot of codecs and general tweaks to start with
[20:31] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: i privated you, but I guess you didn't get the messages
[20:31] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: i am in two different roooms so it takes a while to do what you tell me to
[20:31] <samuraicrow> nonix4:  Thanks for the help!
[20:31] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: darned xchat.. it's supposed to give me a baloon pop-up when i get pm'd
[20:32] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: hold on, i will try ur next command
[20:32] <poboy975linux> I have gone through the tutorils on both ics and tried firestarter and I can ping all comps on network, but oknly lapotop has internet. the other comps are not getting it...even though they can ping laptop as well
[20:32] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: but, just keep chat in here anyway
[20:32] <Slart> RivitingOne: if you tell us what kind of functionality you want perhaps we can give you some hints etc.. but it's really very personal.. not everyone wants their computer setup the same.. and if you compare a installed ubuntu system to a installed windows system you have way more stuff available on the ubuntu system... windows is pretty empty when nothing else is installed
[20:33] <eseven73> onetinsoldier: do you have libnotify? I think that is required in order for xchat to do popup messages
[20:33] <Slart> poboy975linux: have you enable ip routing?
[20:33] <manja> where do I get drivers for a creative webcam?
[20:33] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - what exactly have you done? anything with iptables?
[20:33] <WebcamWonder> !repeat | manja
[20:33] <poboy975linux> I did edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file and put in ip4 forward
[20:33] <GillyGilly2> Hi, can someone help, have a 64bit processor but when i try to install 64bit ubuntu 7.10 using virtual pc (again, the 64bit version), i get a message telling me that my "cpu does not support long mode. use a 32bit distribution." Is there no way to fix this?
[20:34] <onetinsoldier> eseven73: it was working just yesterday. i don't know why it's not giving me a balloon pop-up today. itmade me check my settings... it's still set
[20:34] <poboy975linux> yeah there were two different instructions on iptables
[20:34] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - be more specific, exactly what you did?
[20:34] <nonix4> samuraicrow: and better yet, "man initramfs-tools" has a pretty thorough description of the boot time scripts
[20:34] <n8tuser> !who | poboy975linux
[20:34] <eseven73> onetinsoldier: ah ok
[20:34] <nDuff> manja, good question; depending on the model, it may be bundled with the kernel, or it may just not be available; since you aren't telling us the model of your webcam, we can't help you more than that.
[20:34] <SudoKing> Hi, my sound card is enabled, using Xine, and everything seems ok, but the sound isn't working.  It seems to do this after some period of time of inactivity.  Any ideas? :?
[20:35] <onetinsoldier> eseven73: almost makes me wonder is turning off the gnome-screensaver and enabling the xscreensaver daemon has anything to do with it
[20:35] <poboy975linux> Slart: net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1 net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1 I added these two lines to sysctl.conf
[20:35] <mars___> hi
[20:35] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: i can't find the file
[20:35] <eseven73> onetinsoldier: or any other app that might use libnotify
[20:35] <gmathews> Hey - how can i get a weather screenlet that displays the weather in South Africa?
[20:35] <samuraicrow> nonix4:  Thanks again!  Now I'll have some place to look when I go over there after New Year's.
[20:35] <RivitingOne> ﻿Slart: Well, when I first installed I had to go around in circles trying to get a video playback. I finally managed to get sound for games but it still goes away when I have another program open like firefox. At the moment I have crapy dvd playback but atleast I've managed to get my games working fairly well. All I really do on this system is game and watch movies and surf the web but I can't seem to do any 2 of those things at once.
[20:35] <mars___> is there a way to use two monitors with different resolutions?
[20:35] <manja> nDuff, it's a Live! Cam Video IM (VF0220)
[20:36] <Mimi> Ohhhhhhhh......  do I need TWO wireless cards on MY laptop to share wireless..... ?  :(
[20:36] <nonix4> GillyGilly2: sounds like that particular version of virtualpc doesn't support 64-bit guests
[20:36] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: what happened when you did the command? did you use sudo?   sudo Xorg -configure    ...capital X might be required there
[20:36] <mars___> i currently use grandr and somehow i cannot get my second monitor to work properly.
[20:36] <poboy975linux> Slart: sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT sudo iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE  I ran these commands
[20:36] <kim0> Hi .. how "small" can I install from the normal 8.10 dvd ? can it go ~ 200MB ?
[20:36] <manja> nDuff, I already tried it in skype (the test in the options) and it shows only garbled green bars, so I guess it's not bundled in the kernel
[20:36] <gmathews> Hi - how can I get a mini window of video (like a screenlet) on my desktop?
[20:36] <nDuff> manja, a quick bit of googling found http://opensource.creative.com/webcam.html
[20:37] <RivitingOne> slart: and why has ubuntu not managed to master the ancient art of .gif. If I wanted to see the first frame of an image I'd use a .jpg
[20:37] <sinbox> anyone here built fluxbox 1.1.1 0j 8.04? I get some errors on ./configure
[20:37] <nonix4> GillyGilly2: kvm has no problems w/ 64-bit cpus... well, have tried only w/ cpu virtualization support, which most 64-bit cpus do have.
[20:37] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: sudo Xorg -configure .....should give you some sort of a response
[20:37] <manja> nDuff, what did you google for?
[20:37] <Slart> RivitingOne: I think because some of the ancient masters decided to sue everyone doing anything with gif..
[20:37] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - which name is for your wifi? eth0 or eth1 ?
[20:37] <nDuff> manja, "Creative Live webcam Linux"
[20:37] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: wifi is wlan1
[20:38] <Slart> RivitingOne: are you using plain alsa or pulseaudio for sound?
[20:38] <nDuff> manja, first hit with those terms.
[20:38] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - then look at your rules, you were using eth0 and eth1  and not wlan0 .. make sense?
[20:38] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: eth0 is ethernet cable to hub
[20:38] <manja> nDuff, thank you
[20:38] <nicklas__> im out, bye
[20:38] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - then look at your rules, you were using eth0 and eth1  and not wlan1 .. make sense?
[20:38] <Slart> popori: what do you get if you run "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
[20:39] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: oh ok now i can see the file
[20:39] <mrwes> balanar391: or you could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[20:39] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: sorry here is command copied out of the terminal :  sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan1 -o eth0 -s 192.168.2.0/24 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
[20:39] <Jeaton> what do you use to unzip rar files?
[20:39] <RivitingOne> slart: I'll assume pulseaudio because that's the applet I have on my toolbar. I've tried configuring it but given that there are a billion different guides that say twice as many things I have no idea if anything is setup correctly.
[20:39] <eseven73> !rar
[20:39] <jdolan> hi, i have a fresh Intrepid install, and audacity refuses to output any audio.  all other apps playback just fine.
[20:39] <poboy975linux> the first was from the instruction page
[20:39] <nonix4> GillyGilly2: any particular reason for using virtualpc/vmware/whatever-non-stock-vm as opposed to "sudo aptitude install kvm libvirt-bin virt-manager"
[20:39] <ssdt> i am trying to install ubuntu but with the live cd, i reboot my system and no boot screen comes up, i goes stright to the windows
[20:40] <ssdt> how do i make it go to ubuntu?
[20:40] <Slart> RivitingOne: if you open the settings dialon in system, preferences, sound. does it say mostly "ALSA" or mostly "PULSEAUDIO"
[20:40] <RivitingOne> ssdt: You might need to change your boot order in the bios settings
[20:40] <nonix4> ssdt: bios setup, enable booting from cd
[20:40] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: great!  now --> cp -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old && cp -v /path_to_file/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:40] <ssdt> nonix4, where is the bios setup?
[20:40] <GillyGilly2> nonix4, thank you for the responses
[20:41] <nonix4> ssdt: bios setup is usually accessed by one of the top row keys, like esc, f1, f2, etc, when booting
[20:41] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - what is your default Policy for the iptables?
[20:41] <ssdt> thanks nonix4 i will try
[20:41] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: last step is..   sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start
[20:41] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: that I dont know. where can i find out?
[20:42] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - sudo iptables -n -vL
[20:42] <Lexvegas> Im thinking of getting a dell mini 12, but i want to get XP on it, so I can dual boot. Does anyone know if the wireless card it comes with is compatible with Ubuntu?
[20:42] <RivitingOne> slart: Sound events and music and movies is set to autodetect, audio conferencing is all set to pulseaudio
[20:42] <poboy975linux> ok, it printed a bunch of stuff, too much to paste in here
[20:43] <Pirate_Hunter> hak5fan: you still around?
[20:43] <hak5fan> Pirate_Hunter: Yes
[20:43] <RivitingOne> default mixer tracks is HDA ATI SD (Alsa mixer)
[20:43] <Slart> RivitingOne: ok.. and you can't play sounds in firefox and listen to some music at the same time, right?
[20:43] <Pirate_Hunter> hak5fan: im so happy whats the command to pm you?
[20:43] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: ok done
[20:44] <RivitingOne> Slart: Correct
[20:44] <hak5fan> I can pm you
[20:44] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: ok here is a pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/96256/
[20:44] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: the screen still fails to show
[20:44] <Slart> RivitingOne: try running this, "sudo apt-get install pavucontrol"
[20:44] <ssdt> nonix4 it did not work
[20:45] <Slart> RivitingOne: and after it's done you run "pavucontrol&" in a terminal
[20:45] <ssdt> i need to know where i can see the os screen where windows and ubuntu can be seen
[20:45] <Slart> RivitingOne: it's probably already installed
[20:45] <gmathews> is playing: korea by Deftones on White Pony (Ltd. Ed.)
[20:45] <nonix4> ssdt: which machine is it?
[20:45] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: hmmm , strange. are you sure you copied the new file into place?
[20:45] <andresmh> can I move my user's home directory (/home/andresmh) to a different partition and simply change the /etc/passwd entry for it?
[20:45] <Gnea> !ot | gmathews
[20:45] <ssdt> dell
[20:45] <gmathews> I was waiting for that Gnea :P.
[20:46] <gmathews> Okay - so no one knows how to get a mini window to play video?
[20:46] <Gnea> gmathews: your trollness will be noted.
[20:46] <The_PHP_Jedi> onetinsoldier, if you want to give it a closer look, here's the output of dmesg, lspci -v, and lspci -n: http://slexy.org/view/s2FCKfgyXW http://slexy.org/view/s2Cfp9Jdcu http://slexy.org/view/s2GJslMiqt
[20:46] <AKangB> Hi!
[20:46] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: you might try giving it a reboot. what kind of monitor is this?
[20:46] <The_PHP_Jedi> I'm going to post it in the forums in a bit if I don't find anything (which I haven't, so far)
[20:46] <gmathews> trollness ;/
[20:46] <nonix4> hmm... don't have one here, but at least gx1's might have had f10 there... bios setup is very early in the boot process
[20:46] <The-Compiler> A mate of me has a problem: He changed the resolution in Gnome, now it's too high. KDE works, though. How to change it again? There is no resolution in the xorg.conf so it must be stored somewhere else.
[20:46] <onetinsoldier> The_PHP_Jedi: yep.. i see it
[20:47]  * Gnea wonders if there's anyone around right now that knows FreeNX and VNC... I've got FreeNX setup, but it won't make a VNC connection and http://groups.google.com/group/ec2ubuntu/web/installing-freenx-on-ubuntu-8-04-hardy doesn't quite make it
[20:47] <AKangB> Well, Sorry if I Have a bad English but my bootsplash returns me a "Out of Range".... Then linux boot but I cannot see "the progress bar". Any Idea?
[20:47] <nonix4> ssdt: which dell? http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm
[20:47] <RivitingOne> Slart: Ok so apparently terminal won't work now. I click terminal and a tab comes up that says starting terminal then after about 20 sec it goes away and nothing happens
[20:48] <manja> how do I find out my kernel version?
[20:48] <Gnea> gmathews: 'mini window'?
[20:48] <Gnea> manja: cat /proc/version
[20:48] <Flannel> manja: uname -a
[20:48] <onetinsoldier> manja: uname -r   in a terminal
[20:48] <Ben1> damnit minimal install just ran out of hdd space :(
[20:48] <primesuspeckt> anyone know how to change the fonts in wine..mines is looking garbled and i can't understand anything...
[20:49] <Slart> RivitingOne: hmm.. that can't be a good sign..
[20:49] <gmathews> Gnea, yea like a sort of screenlet...with your video playing
[20:49] <gmathews> Gnea, like Media player does
[20:49] <Flannel> Ben1: You told it to install the server/command line install? or the regular desktop?
[20:50] <hml> is there a way i can disable the numpad entirely on a lapto pkeyboard (by software)>?
[20:50] <johulett_> hello
[20:50] <hml> numpad butthere's a little toddler  sidding next to me who can't stop pressing the tons
[20:50] <Ben1> flannel: i typed cli at the boot prompt
[20:51] <exodus_ms> !hi
[20:51] <hml> !hi
[20:51] <johulett_> thanks!
[20:51] <hml> !bye
[20:51] <hml> !hi
[20:51] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - read what you posted, and answer my question, what is your default Policy ?
[20:51] <johulett_> can someone help me with ubuntu wireless settings?
[20:51] <sahak> Hello
[20:52] <puppiesRcute> hello does any one know how to fix virtualbox's problem with not loading iso disks a error always pops up
[20:52] <sahak> I am trying to use the "Search for Files..." command from Nautilus, and it seems to me that "Name does not contain" option does not work as it is expected.
[20:52] <RivitingOne> slart: I just wish there was an up to date guide for new users to follow that would walk you through what you need to get to get a system going with the same level of functionality. As it is now I come into things hearing all about how much better linux is and how much more it can do but the only way to make it do those amazing things it to wade through a mountain of potentially outdated info in hopes that something works.
[20:52] <sahak> Can somebody check it for me?
[20:52] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: drop?
[20:53] <onetinsoldier> The_PHP_Jedi: have you considered trying compiling kernel 2.6.28 and see if that does anything for you?
[20:53] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - i thought you said you read the tutorial?  it should have explained this yes?
[20:54] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - look at line 1, 22, 32
[20:54] <jjlee> what do people use to watch TV other than tvtime?  why?
[20:54] <johannes_> is there a way to check via command line, whether a hdd is up turned on or off?
[20:54] <The_PHP_Jedi> onetinsoldier, negative. Thing is, I don't have internet connection on the machine (onboard ethernet is fubar'd, hence why I'm trying to use this wifi card)... the headers/source aren't that large, right?
[20:54] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: no, it only gave me a list of commands to type in a step by step
[20:54] <plipp> Hi guys, could you give me some tips on module-building?
[20:54] <plipp> I've got my source by:
[20:54] <plipp> sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r); apt-get source linux-image-4(uname -r)
[20:54] <plipp> and copied the config from /boot/  and built the modules with "make modules".  But I get versioning issues  "no symbol version for struct_module".
[20:54] <FloodBot2> plipp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:54] <johannes_> jjlee kaffeine because it works very good
[20:54] <jjlee> johannes_: DVB-only, right?
[20:54] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: this is page i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[20:55] <johannes_> jjlee even worse dvb-t ^^
[20:55] <onetinsoldier> The_PHP_Jedi: source isn't exactly small... plus you need other packages to be able to compile/build it
[20:55] <RivitingOne> slart: I understand why ubuntu can't come preinstalled with a lot of things for legal reasons but there is obvious place to go to find out how to get things going. Just seems new users are left to muddle through forum page after forum page looking for a bit of info here or there until they give up or piece it together.
[20:56] <jjlee> how about ye olde analogue TV?  Does anybody here use anything other than tvtime?
[20:56] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: ok so the policy is drop? how can i fix that?
[20:56] <The_PHP_Jedi> onetinsoldier, alright. I forgot there's Keryx now, so that makes this whole process easier... I'll try it out now
[20:56] <onetinsoldier> The_PHP_Jedi: roger. what is Keryx?
[20:57] <plipp> no module-builders here?
[20:57] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: hello? still here?
[20:57] <Isaiah> Is there a trick to get Evolution to connect to an exchange server? I keep getting "could not authenticate to server" even through I'm sure the password is correct
[20:58] <AnonDan> Hi all, to get sound working I need to kill pulseaudio. Problem is I need to do that everytime I boot. Under session preferences I've added the command "killall pulseaudio" but it doesn't work. How can I get it to run the command when I boot? Thanks
[20:58] <Slart> RivitingOne: well.. as I said before.. not everyone wants their computer setup the same way.. some people watch movies, some people listen to music, some people have wireless connections, some people use bluetooth, some people want to use bittorrent, some people want an ftp client.. I can go on and on with this list.. not everyone wants to do what you want to do.. so you'll have to do step by step... so start with something that bothers you and ask about it he
[20:58] <Ben1> does any1 know any way of installing a really really basic linux from the xubuntu live cd in less than say 250MB??
[20:59] <Ben1> command line only would be preferable
[20:59] <levidos> how can i irc from the command line?
[20:59] <simplenewb> what is the default bluetooth passkey for ubuntu? I can't find it anywhere and I can't pair without it.
[20:59] <johannes_> levidos irssi
[20:59] <hajmola> levidos, sudo apt-get install ircii
[20:59] <AnonDan> simplenewb: you should be prompted to enter the key manually
[20:59] <The_PHP_Jedi> onetinsoldier, http://keryx.betaserver.org/ -- essentially allows you to download packages and dependencies (the latter I think, not sure if it's implemented yet) on your USB drive from another computer, regardless of OS, for use on a computer w/ no Internet connection
[21:00] <Slart> Ben1: not sure how large xubuntu is when installed.. but I think it's bigger than 250Mb... have you looked at other distros? such as Damn Small Linux (DSM) ?
[21:00] <The_PHP_Jedi> onetinsoldier, a friend of mine developed it, out of necessity and because I was begging him to do something like that :p
[21:00] <levidos> which one is better: ircii or irssi ?
[21:00] <jjlee> OK, so everybody here thinks TV is evil?
[21:00] <onetinsoldier> The_PHP_Jedi: thanks! i'll have to have a look at that
[21:00] <balanar391> onetinsoldier: lol thx for ur help, I opted for a more ghetto solution...just get anotehr monitor then go change the settings...for some reason that monitor's kinda messed up...thanks for your help!
[21:00] <Slart> levidos: the one that works for you
[21:00] <hajmola> levidos, try em both
[21:00] <simplenewb> AnonDan: At what point? When I plug in the dongle nothing happens and when I try to pair my phone asks for the computeres passkey and nothing is ever shown on the pc
[21:00] <jjlee> (I'm trying to figure out if it's worth working on tvtime, or switching to some other TV app)
[21:00] <jjlee> MythTV?
[21:00] <jjlee> xawtv?
[21:01] <Ben1> slart, the problem is that using a neoware thin client virtually nothing will boot. the only thing i have been able to boot is an ubuntu install cd in my usb cd drive.
[21:01] <levidos> tnx johannes_, hajmola and slart :)
[21:01] <ardchoille> Ben1: There's always LFS, and it allows you to control how large it becomes
[21:01] <jjlee> both look pretty unpleasant for just watching plain old telly
[21:01] <AnonDan> simplenewb: happens to me too. I just have to keep retrying and eventually a balloon tooltip pops up. Don't know anyway around that sorry. Different phones with bluetooth work at different speeds I've found
[21:01] <hajmola> jjlee, i have mythtv, works pretty well
[21:01] <Gnea> !tv | jjlee
[21:01] <onetinsoldier> balanar391: your welcome. setting refresh rate too high can ruin a monitor! be careful. anyway, you're welcome and glad to hear you've a good monitor set set up in it's place.  :-)
[21:01] <simplenewb> AnonDan: ok thanks I guess I'll just keep trying.
[21:01] <diedi3m> anybody can help me'?
[21:01] <jjlee> hajmola: thanks, but last time I tried it it needed a silly amount of configuration
[21:02] <Slart> Ben1: oh... perhaps the minimal install cd might work for you then.. I think it's a bit more flexible when it comes to what packages get installed
[21:02] <jjlee> fine perhaps if you want to record stuff
[21:02] <Slart> !minimal | Ben1
[21:02] <jjlee> but not otherwise
[21:02] <jjlee> does it still do that?
[21:02] <Ben1> ardchoille I took a look at LFS but it looks rather more complex than I had hoped.... and theres always the problem of getting it onto my neoware once built
[21:02] <helloyo> hey guys, i am getting massive video tearing on all videos. i have nvidia drivers, with compiz turned off (in appearance), and i've tried opengl
[21:02] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - something like  sudo iptables -P INPUT -j ACCEPT
[21:02] <levidos_> irssi :D
[21:02] <Gnea> jjlee: that's typical of mythtv - once you get it up and running, it's pretty smooth sailing
[21:02] <ardchoille> Ben1: Ah, yeah
[21:02] <Ben1> slart, tried mini.iso... it stopped working at about 80% due to no ore disk space :(
[21:03] <levidos_> exit
[21:03] <Slart> Ben1: hrmpf... well... that's about as small as it gets in the ubuntu world, I think
[21:03] <hajmola> dieguito84, ask your questions instead of asking for help
[21:03] <Flannel> Ben1: You might look into DeliLinux, it's designed for older computers, etc.
[21:03] <jjlee> thanks Gnea
[21:03] <Ben1> doh!
[21:03] <RivitingOne> If I am going to do a reinstall should I stay with 8.04 or is it better to go ahead and upgrade to 8.10? Will I be able to easily upgrade later on or does it require a new install?
[21:03] <jjlee> Gnea: it's not the "smooth sailing" part that bothers me ;-)
[21:04] <hajmola> oops,diedi3m, ask your questions instead of asking for help
[21:04] <onetinsoldier> The_PHP_Jedi: just read the description. sounds pretty cool. :-)
[21:04] <[Spooky]> Where is .Trash located in Gnome in Ubuntu 8.10?
[21:04] <Slart> !trash

[21:05] <exodus_ms> !fr
[21:05] <lvlint67> libertad0, i think all the ubuntu distros are for cds...
[21:05] <bastid_raZor> libertad0; releases.ubuntu.com
[21:05] <[Spooky]> Ah thanks ardchoille...
[21:05] <libertad0> lvlint67: no, look http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/3937514775?ie=UTF8&tag=ubuntusearch-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=3937514775
[21:05] <onetinsoldier> RivitingOne: if you're a plain old desktop user, i recommand 8.10. if you need the utmost in stability or are running a server, then go with 8.04
[21:05] <lesshaste> how do I get amarok to see my ipod nano?
[21:06] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - also your sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE  is incorrect, read the tutorial carefully
[21:06] <exodus_ms> libertad0, http;//ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[21:06] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: i copied/pasted that directly
[21:07] <AKangB> Well, Sorry if I Have a bad English but my screen during bootsplash returns me a "Input Signal Out of Range".... Then linux boot but I cannot see "the progress bar". Any Idea?
[21:07] <exodus_ms> libertad0, sorry typo --> http;//www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[21:07] <libertad0> exodus_ms: thanks
[21:07] <Gnea> jjlee: well, everyone trips and falls along the way... if you want to be able to record and have it all neatly organized, then mythtv is worth trudging for :)
[21:07] <hajmola> AKangB, that means X is booting at a resolution your monitor can't handle
[21:08] <jjlee> Gnea: I don't
[21:08] <libertad0> But I need a DVD version
[21:08] <Gnea> jjlee: you say that now... :)
[21:09] <w00w> #ubuntu-fr
[21:09] <jjlee> I might want it in the future, sure
[21:09] <libertad0> w00w: I'm not francais
[21:09] <AKangB> hajmola, but I have edited the X.conf file whit a Hz Range that the screen "must" handle, It don't woks... I don't know what I should do
[21:09] <jjlee> but a simple telly app that's easy to make work is good to have too
[21:09] <hajmola> AKangB, try looking into xrandr
[21:09] <libertad0> ubottu: I'm not francais
[21:10] <libertad0> Someone could pasteme the DVD download release for Ubuntu Desktop
[21:10] <libertad0> like that
[21:10] <loquitus_of_bor1> Anybody have some tips for me on running X11 apps over an SSH tunnel to run faster? I am using the -X parameter when I ssh, and am running firefox (for some development reasons). But it is extremely slow.... what can I do to make this at least tolerable?
[21:10] <AKangB> hajmola, xrandr!? what's that?
[21:10] <libertad0> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/3937514775?ie=UTF8&tag=ubuntusearch-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=3937514775
[21:11] <hajmola> AKangB, xrandr is a terminal app that's for handling your monitor(s). Read up on it
[21:11] <Gnea> jjlee: but if tvtime won't work with your card, then there are other tv apps you can try out... me-tv, pia
[21:12] <AKangB> hajmola, I'm Googling xD thx
[21:12] <WebcamWonder> !xrandr
[21:12] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - also your sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE  is incorrect, that will not work with your setup
[21:12] <jjlee> Gnea: tvtime does work with my card.  I've fixed some bugs, and want to find out if it's worth fixing them in ubuntu
[21:13] <Gnea> jjlee: have you submitted them to the tvtime developers?
[21:13] <jjlee> the zapping package seems broken
[21:13] <jjlee> there are no tvtime developers :-)
[21:13] <Gnea> jjlee: that's interesting, since according to the tvtime website, there are

[21:15] <hajmola> Garfild, just ask if you don't want to ask in the russian channel
[21:16] <Gnea> jjlee: have you tried contacting anyone through their email or thourgh the forum?
[21:16] <jjlee> no, I figure if they're not committing, they're not committing.  But I'll post to mailing list if I come up with proper patches
[21:16] <Garfild> My Ubuntu 8.10 when I restart the system, rewrites the resolv.conf automatically
[21:16] <Garfild> WHY?
[21:16] <Gnea> jjlee: good deal
[21:17] <jjlee> Garfild: dhcp
[21:17] <Garfild> How can I solve this problem?
[21:17] <Celine54> Hi all !
[21:17] <Gnea> Garfild: dhcp does it, that's how it's supposed to work
[21:17] <Gnea> Garfild: set your dns servers manually in the Network Manager
[21:17] <Garfild> And where I can fix it?
[21:17] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[21:17] <Garfild> I dont use NM, I use VPN connection
[21:18] <Decepticon> how do i delete links to dirs without deleting original dir and its contents
[21:18] <manja> I can't compile the driver from http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html for my VF0220
[21:18] <manja> I get this error: http://pastebin.com/d2351588d
[21:18] <Odd-rationale> Garfild: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StaticDnsWithDhcp
[21:18] <helloyo> how do i disable compiz completely?
[21:18] <Garfild> I use VPN
[21:18] <Odd-rationale> helloyo: go to System --> Prefereneces --> Appearance --> Visual Effects --> none
[21:18] <Garfild> I cant install Network manager
[21:19] <streenz> I want to install Debian to try it out (but keep my old Ubuntu install).. My current partitions are as follows:  sdb is partitioned into sdb1 (227GB total, 150GB unused), then a swap partition.... what tool can I use in Ubuntu to reallocate some of the unused partition into a new one, without destroying what is already on the partition?
[21:19] <Gnea> Garfild: okay, that doesn't tell me anything.
[21:19] <helloyo> Odd-rationale: will that disable it, or just turn off all effects?
[21:19] <fukazzz> streenz: gparted
[21:19] <Odd-rationale> helloyo: that will disable compiz. and use just plain metacity.
[21:20] <razaccour> how do i record the sound that comes from the speakers with recordmydesktop?
[21:20] <norbert79> evening
[21:20] <Garfild> I read some manual, and there was written that network Manager must be uninstalled befor using VPN
[21:21] <streenz> fukazzz, gparted can resize partitions without destroying what is already on them? .. how would I do this, would I have to boot off a liveCD to resize the partition?
[21:21] <helloyo> Odd-rationale: ah ok, i ask because i'm getting really bad video tearing with both options, and i was wondering if the display is still different to support compiz
[21:22] <fukazzz> streenz: yea. As far as I know, you'll have no problems. But, of course you better use live-cd(default ubuntu live-cd already includes gparted)
[21:22] <istofix> Hello all!
[21:22] <streenz> fukazzz, okay thanks alot
[21:22] <fukazzz> streenz: nice graphical, just use mouse+slider to resize your partition :D
[21:22] <outofthemadness> hey anyone know how I might mount a USB stick that appears in lsusb but not in the device list?
[21:22] <fukazzz> streenz: np
[21:22] <readygo> I'm a newbie to both RAID and LVM - I have 2 identical 600 GB drives and 2 identical 1 TB drives.  I want to create a mirrored 1.6 TB drive.  To do this, should I set up two volume groups first and then build a raid 1 set up on top of them?
[21:22] <\\slash> hey guys my wireless/bluetooth are working fine but how do i turn it off and on ?
[21:23] <Garfild> I read some manual, and there was written that network Manager must be uninstalled before using VPN
[21:23] <\\slash> in windows i just did fn + wireless icon < laptop >
[21:23] <king> who are all these people!!!
[21:23] <Flannel> !netsplit
[21:23] <Garfild> VPN is a Virtual Pribate Net
[21:23] <Davekong> Is there an application to preview and change the xcursor theme?
[21:23] <Seveas> readygo, other way around: one 600g raidset and a 1tb raidset. Then a volume group on top
[21:23] <fukazzz> readygo: hmm, I'm almost sure, that first you should build your RAID-5
[21:24] <poboy975linux> n8tuser: ok sorry got disconnected. what was command to show iptables policies again? I think I got it changed
[21:24] <fukazzz> readygo: and then install LVM to it
[21:24] <Garfild> How can I change Channel TO a russian speakers?
[21:24] <razaccour> how do i record the sound that comes from the speakers with recordmydesktop?
[21:24] <\\slash> hey guys my wireless/bluetooth are working fine but how do i turn it off and on ??
[21:24] <fukazzz> readygo: but... If I don't mistake, LVM supports mirroing. So you just can use LVM, if you need this feature only
[21:24] <Garfild> It's too hard to me to explain In English
[21:24] <eseven73> !ru | Garfild
[21:24] <istofix> is there any how-to describing the method of moving ubuntu filesystem residing on ntfs partion to a separate partition?
[21:25] <readygo> fukazz: I didn't know that, I'll look into LVM mirroring
[21:25] <eseven73> Garfild:  /join #ubuntu-ru
[21:25] <hak5fan> istofix: Wubi?
[21:25] <istofix> I didn't get you
[21:26] <readygo> Seveas: so I would do raid-1 on my two identical pairs and then LVM would see two hard drives (one 600 GB and one 1 TB) and I would tell it to build a volume group out of those?
[21:26] <hak5fan> istofix: Are you trying to move a Wubi installed system to a real partition. That is a system that is installed trough windows
[21:26] <CyberGabber> Isaiah: Is your Evolution working now ?
[21:26] <Seveas> readygo, exactly
[21:27] <istofix> hak5fan, yes
[21:27] <hspaans> fukazzz: lvm on linux doesn't support mirroring
[21:27] <hak5fan> istofix: I think there's a special tool to do just that... I'll have a look
[21:27] <king> What are good network-manager replacements? All I know about is wicd. Is it the best?

[21:27] <WebcamWonder> king: YES!
[21:28] <king> WebcamWonder, Have you tried any others?
[21:28] <readygo> Seavas, fukazz: ok, thanks a lot!

[21:29] <ssdt> can anyone help me load the boot screen
[21:29] <n8tuser> poboy975linux - here is the link i prefer for reference..   http://www.linuxexposed.com/content/view/107/
[21:30] <eseven73> orudie: but i think even with cpanel you need some sort of webserver like Apache
[21:30] <orudie> eseven73, cpanel installed on a remote computer
[21:30] <ssdt> i am trying to install ubuntu but because of the boot screen nothing loads from the cd
[21:30] <eseven73> ah
[21:30] <orudie> eseven73, yeah, apache is installed
[21:30] <Pirate_Hunter> hak5fan: yah had to rebot it must be a driver issue
[21:30] <eseven73> orudie: can you ping the remote server?
[21:30] <Pirate_Hunter> hak5fan: can you suggest anything that might work
[21:30] <orudie> eseven73, http://67.223.224.36/
[21:31] <hak5fan> Pirate_Hunter: So you just got a black screen again
[21:31] <Pirate_Hunter> how do i pm?
[21:31] <Pirate_Hunter> hak5fan: yup
[21:31] <eseven73> orudie: works
[21:31] <Pirate_Hunter> hak5fan: this time it didnt even let me exit X
[21:31] <fukazzz> hspaans: hmm, really, But It's supposed to be in the feature :D
[21:31] <hak5fan> Pirate_Hunter: Because if it was blue then it was a fluxbox install with nothing installed
[21:31] <orudie> eseven73, it works but i need my content to display , not cpanel's content
[21:32] <orudie> eseven73, when i login to cpanel with the user name and passwrd, it tells me to put my files to /orudie/www
[21:32] <endeavormac> how can i list the types of filesystems available to mount with "sudo mount -t ????"
[21:32] <orudie> eseven73, this host has multiple web hosting user accounts, and mine is one of them

[21:37] <RandomCake> Hi, I've been finding that Ubuntu seems to use more power on my laptop than Vista does, is this normal? Is there much I can do to improve things?
[21:38] <orudie> is wikipedia hosted on ubuntu servers now ?
[21:38] <WebcamWonder> orudie: Yes
[21:39] <hak5fan> RandomCake: Yes... there might be power management issus... just search google for power management ubuntu and see if you find any usful info. I'm no expert on power management

[21:43] <johulett_> HomingHamster: ! thanks!
[21:43] <HomingHamster> johulett_, you may find a thread on the forum
[21:43] <johulett_> HomingHamster: I'm just waiting for someone to notice my question
[21:43] <n8tuser> The_Rebel - apt-query search linux-kernel    shows nothing? or what command you used to check?
[21:43] <istofix> I've enable compiz fusion on gdm, some times  windows' borders are not rendered correctly, especially when a window get's focus, what would be the problem? I'm using nvidia restricted drivers

[21:44] <HomingHamster> johulett_, you tried using ethernet on your laptop
[21:44] <n8tuser> The_Rebel -  doa    sudo apt-query search linux   and see what is on the list
[21:44] <Jack_Sparrow> !find linux-kernel
[21:44] <HomingHamster> johulett_, took me that long to find your question
[21:45] <HomingHamster> johulett_, then
[21:45] <n8tuser> The_Rebel -  doa    sudo apt-cache search linux   and see what is on the list...correction*
[21:45] <johulett_> HH: sure. I'm looking for some wifi help. I have no wireless extensions, I just installed ubuntu from a purchased disk, in kubuntu wifi worked fine, the message I get in console is that network is unreachable
[21:45] <johulett_> HH: no worries
[21:45] <HomingHamster> johulett_, make and model of wireless card laptop?
[21:45] <n8tuser> RandomCake - okay, well play around with acpi or the power options

[21:46] <The_Rebel> i see linux-libc-dev
[21:46] <HomingHamster> lesshaste, me :P
[21:46] <lesshaste> HomingHamster, oh :) Hi
[21:46] <The_Rebel> but not linux-kernel-devel
[21:46] <HomingHamster> lesshaste, *waves*
[21:46] <lesshaste> :) smiles back
[21:46] <RandomCake> okay, n8tuser, will do :) thanks
[21:46] <johulett_> HomingHamster: sorry
[21:46] <n8tuser> The_Rebel - so mayber there is none yet
[21:46] <HomingHamster> johulett_, what for?
[21:47] <Sirius> loh
[21:47] <johulett_> vaio laptop, intel pro/wireless 4965 AG or AGN
[21:47] <shingen> tried to use 8.10 alternative CD for fakeraid install, and now I'm at a busybox prompt w/no selection of Vista available in grub
[21:47] <HomingHamster> johulett_, ahh, have you tried connecting close to your router from ubuntu?
[21:47] <Sirius> qualcuno parla italiano?
[21:47] <shingen> anybody have any suggestions to get a fakeraid install working?
[21:47] <johulett_> HomingHamster: Realtek Semiconductor RTL8191E
[21:47] <Seveas> !it | Sirius
[21:48] <lesshaste> tasto?
[21:48] <lesshaste> what does that mean?
[21:48] <zacharico> im doing a "sudo chmod 777 *" on some files, but when i try to do regular chmod without sudo, it says im not allowed
[21:48] <jdolan> can anyone recommend a sound editor besides Audacity?
[21:48] <lesshaste> zacharico, you are not the owner
[21:48] <jdolan> i get no sound output from Audacity.
[21:49] <lesshaste> jdolan, ah.. you need to fix that :)
[21:49] <lesshaste> jdolan, do you get sound output from anything?
[21:49] <jdolan> lesshaste, default Intrepid install.  all other apps work just fine.
[21:49] <lesshaste> jdolan, have you played with the audio device settings?
[21:49] <zacharico> lesshaste, i just moved those files from my camera onto the computer, so how can i not be the owner?
[21:49] <jdolan> lesshaste, at length, yes.  i can even record sounds from mic and line via the sound recorder applet.
[21:49] <lesshaste> zacharico, maybe they were moved using sudo too? In any case, look at them with ls -la
[21:49] <Jack_Sparrow> zacharico, if you did it as root user, root owns them
[21:49] <johulett_> HomingHamster: I'm sitting around ten feet away
[21:49] <johulett_> Does that count?
[21:50] <jdolan> and i have sound in Flash, Rhythmbox, and games.
[21:50] <shingen> fakeraid howto says 8.10 works great for fakeraid, I'm stuck at a busybox prompt... can anyone help?
[21:50] <zacharico> yeagh, root is the owner
[21:50] <lesshaste> jdolan, do you get sound output from anything?
[21:50] <zacharico> but should sudo chmod 777 get them available to anyone?
[21:50] <lesshaste> zacharico, bingo :)
[21:50] <jdolan> lesshaste, see above.
[21:50] <johulett_> Hominghamster: the network manager sees the network just fine, but when I sign in with my code, nothing happens
[21:50] <zacharico> and if not, how can i make it so?
[21:50] <jdolan> lesshaste, sound works in absolutely everything else.  even recording on both mic and line sources.
[21:50] <lesshaste> jdolan, above you say you record things right?
[21:50] <shingen> zacharico: chown user:user filename
[21:50] <johulett_> HomingHamster: When i ping the net from the terminal, I get network is unreachable
[21:50] <lesshaste> jdolan, I was asking about playing sound.. which app can play sound?
[21:50] <lesshaste> jdolan, and is it using alsa or oss?
[21:51] <shingen> zacharico: chown user:group filename even
[21:51] <jdolan> again, Flash, Rhythmbox, all games i have tried, etc..
[21:51] <johulett_> I wish I could copy and past the message, but it's on the other computer
[21:51] <zacharico> shingen, what does group mean?
[21:51] <lesshaste> jdolan, have you got audacity using alsa or oss?
[21:51] <jdolan> lesshaste, i only have an option for the ALSA device in Audacity.  it says it's using Portaudio as well.
[21:51] <Mimi> help... Ethernet is not showing  in ifconfig ..... it used to.....
[21:52] <ali1234> hi. when the whole machine locks up completely and the caps lock led is flashing, is the flashing a kernel thing?
[21:52] <shingen> zacharico: google unix groups, far better explanation than I could give
[21:52] <WebcamWonder> jdolan: There is a recent build of Audacity that supports the ALSA plugin for pulse properly
[21:52] <lesshaste> jdolan, no error messages anywhere?
[21:52] <jdolan> WebcamWonder, is there a .deb available or should i just build it?
[21:52] <Pirate_Hunter> can someone help me fix x server i get a black screen and cant do anything except hard reboot, ive now tried using my previous xorg.conf from archlinux but still not working, can someoen suggest soemthing?
[21:52] <WebcamWonder> jdolan: Hold on
[21:52] <jdolan> lesshaste, no output from Audacity at all at the terminal.
[21:52] <shingen> anyone?  fakeraid and 8.10?
[21:53] <lesshaste> jdolan, how annoying.. I see online that there are plenty of posts about "no sound" and audacity
[21:53] <lesshaste> jdolan, did you look at them alreadyy?
[21:53] <WebcamWonder> jdolan: https://launchpad.net/~diwic/+archive
[21:53] <jdolan> a bit.  some people just don't know how to use their mixers..
[21:53] <jdolan> that's not my problem tho.  at least i don't think it is ;)
[21:53] <sinbox> aeumph: looks like loging out a second user on my laptop with 8.04 totally kills x  :(
[21:54] <Pirate_Hunter> can someone help me fix x server i get a black screen and cant do anything except hard reboot, ive now tried using my previous xorg.conf from archlinux but still not working, can someone suggest soemthing?
[21:54] <WebcamWonder> jdolan: Your problem is a known problem from Audacity. You can, 1) Try the repo above, 2) Try the OSS wrapper from PulseAudio
[21:54] <HomingHamster> johulett_, sorry, i don't know
[21:54] <sinbox> I think audacity and 8.10 don't go too well together from what I remember
[21:54] <razaccour> how do i record the sound that comes from the speakers with recordmydesktop?
[21:54] <lesshaste> jdolan, well I don't know.. I would post on the audacity forum
[21:55] <jdolan> WebcamWonder, i just want to install that ppa .deb?
[21:55] <lesshaste> or listen to WebcamWonder :)
[21:55] <WebcamWonder> jdolan: Just add it to your sources... And it should update the audacity version
[21:55] <jdolan> (fwiw, there have been _tons_ of complaints re: pulseaudio)
[21:55] <jdolan> why is there such a strong push to adopt it?
[21:55] <jdolan> it was one of the worst regressions for me in 8.04 as well.
[21:56] <WebcamWonder> jdolan: PA in 8.04 WAS Ubuntu's fault
[21:56] <lesshaste> jdolan, no one knows
[21:56] <Pirate_Hunter> can someone help me fix x server i get a black screen and cant do anything except hard reboot, ive now tried using my previous xorg.conf from archlinux but still not working, can someone suggest something?
[21:56] <jdolan> i went from having great sound that worked across all apps to basically no sound, or maybe sound from one app at a time if i was lucky.
[21:56] <lesshaste> jdolan, and the question is asked a fair amount
[21:56] <Mimi> Does anyone know why my Eth0 would NOT show up ? :(
[21:56] <WebcamWonder> jdolan: It was perfectly stable back then as well, but Ubuntu never provided the correct plugins/packages for it
[21:56] <shingen> Pirate_Hunter: sudo dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:56] <lesshaste> jdolan, people like to have different volume control per app...that's all anyone can think of
[21:56] <sinbox> you can alway suninstall /disable pulse jdolan
[21:56] <jdolan> anyway, i'm pretty pleased with 8.10.
[21:56] <ali1234> most of the problems i have had with pulse are caused by old software that doesn't use it
[21:56] <lesshaste> other than that it seems pointless
[21:56] <WebcamWonder> jdolan: I have PERFECT audio under 8.04 using the correct fixes
[21:56] <Mimi> Just turn it all to ALSA in Sound preferences
[21:57] <lesshaste> is there any other point to pulse?
[21:57] <shingen> Pirate_Hunter: or you can google for "ubuntu rebuild xorg.conf" too, like I just did
[21:57] <jdolan> i've noticed Pulse screws with SDL a little bit (or at least it seems to).
[21:57] <jdolan> but anyway, i'll try this patched Audacity.  thanks WebcamWonder
[21:57] <Mimi> isnt this convo kinda offtopic? not support question
[21:57] <jdolan> sorry.
[21:58] <WebcamWonder> jdolan: No problem
[21:58] <ali1234> jdolan: not if you install libsdl-pulse
[21:58] <Pirate_Hunter> shigen: im in console not using gui and i ahave no clue what to do since the file isnt giving errors
[21:58] <sinbox> arumph: looks like loging out a second user on my laptop with 8.04 totally kills x  :(  anyone had that happen to them?
[21:58] <elkin> how can i stop OOo writer from making stupid little arrows ← when i type <--  ?
[21:59] <The_Rebel> so who's going to get windows 7?
[21:59] <elkin> the arrow doesnt work in office, and this doc needs to be read in office
[21:59] <shingen> Pirate_Hunter: lynx or links is a great browser in console
[21:59] <WebcamWonder> elkin: Look for the Autocomplete option
[21:59] <WebcamWonder> !offtopic | The_Rebel
[21:59] <elkin> WebcamWonder, where abouts is that?
[21:59] <Pirate_Hunter> shingen: that previous command dont work for me i thought 8.10 was better at detecting x
[21:59] <shingen> anyone know anything about fakeraid and 8.10's alternate installer that's 'SUPPOSED' to work (but didn't for me?)
[21:59] <WebcamWonder> elkin: Hol don
[21:59] <elkin> thanks
[21:59] <andresmh> so what is supposed to happen when I do a test of video input with gstreamer-properties?
[22:00] <andresmh> after pressing the test button it just says "testing..."
[22:00] <shingen> Pirate_Hunter: what video card do you have? i've never had an issue with detecting a resolution
[22:00] <andresmh> i have a builtin web cam
[22:00] <shingen> Pirate_Hunter: even if I have to run it in vesa 1024x768...
[22:01] <The_Rebel> back on topic
[22:01] <The_Rebel> what do you guys use for making backups?
[22:01] <WebcamWonder> !backup | The_Rebel
[22:01] <w3rd_> hey guys any suggestions on dual monitor usuage for ubuntu
[22:01] <eseven73> rsync and unison
[22:01] <sinbox> backups what are tey?
[22:01] <sinbox> +H
[22:01] <Pirate_Hunter> shingen: its a trident card
[22:01] <jdolan> WebcamWonder, works -- thanks again!
[22:01] <The_Rebel> thanks WebcamWonder, your must helpful with those triggers.
[22:01] <WebcamWonder> jdolan: The repo?
[22:02] <elkin> WebcamWonder, any idea?
[22:02] <eseven73> The_Rebel: theres a GUI for rsync as well Grsync
[22:02] <WebcamWonder> elkin: Yeah, hold on... My system is swapping like crazy to open OO
[22:02] <jdolan> WebcamWonder, i fetched the .deb and installed it manually.
[22:02] <shingen> Pirate_Hunter: holy crap, you have an ISA based trident card? that's pre-VESA standards... ewww, good luck with that... you'll need to find some old ass kernel to support something that old
[22:02] <shingen> Pirate_Hunter: you'll have better luck with redhat 4.2 supporting that than any OS today :)
[22:02] <WebcamWonder> jdolan: Ahh got it. No problems... Glad a noob like me could help :)
[22:02] <Gnea> !freenx
[22:03] <elkin> WebcamWonder, no worries, I just found it
[22:03] <elkin> haha
[22:03] <elkin> thanks anyway
[22:03] <elkin> I'm happy now
[22:03] <FloodBot2> elkin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:03] <WebcamWonder> elkin: Haha... No problems
[22:03] <ReleaseX> I just reformatted my new 1tb external drive with gparted.  When I plug it in it automounts and shows in places.  I can read, but can't write to it.  I formatted it with 1 primary partition, ext3
[22:03] <The_Rebel> good stuff guys

[22:05] <Captcha> oh.. wait..
[22:05] <Captcha> LINUX?!
[22:05] <aspire> this is because the DHCPCLIENT is not specified
[22:05] <An00bis> Flannel, sorry. Someone led me here, they said it was a general gaming irc.
[22:05] <biagidp> Are ATI drivers still as big a problem for linux users as they were about a year ago?
[22:05] <aspire> what should I configure it as???
[22:05] <NineTails> you tell me
[22:05] <The_Rebel> sure are a lot of lame people here.
[22:06] <shingen> biagidp: yes, ATI video cards are still a major PITA
[22:06] <elkin> fuck it
[22:06] <elkin> i'll use = rather than <--
[22:06] <The_Rebel> 1331 of them.
[22:06] <Flannel> elkin: Please watch your language
[22:06] <elkin> sorry, wrong chan
[22:06] <elkin> lol
[22:06] <biagidp> shingen: just to configure or for the duration of their use?
[22:06] <Mimi> Hello how do i check if my NIC drivers are loaded? ^^;
[22:06] <Gnea> The_Rebel: please, we don't need that kind of attitude
[22:06] <onetinsoldier> what's so hard about ATI cards?
[22:06] <shingen> biagidp: I doubt I'll ever have my ATI cards working with dual head support 100%
[22:06] <onetinsoldier> i like mine
[22:06] <The_Rebel> i'm just playing Gnea.
[22:06] <The_Rebel> but okay
[22:06] <The_Rebel> no funny business
[22:07] <biagidp> shingen: The card in question is in a laptop, so dual head probably wont be an issue
[22:07] <onetinsoldier> oh... dual head. ya, i wouldn't know about that
[22:07] <Gnea> The_Rebel: we don't play here, it's a support channel. we just happened to have a couple of oddballs join for a bit. please don't think that they represent this channel.
[22:07] <shingen> biagidp: I have an ATI Radeon mobility in one of my laptops, I try installing the latest ATI drivers every couple of weeks with no luck
[22:07] <The_Rebel> i understand Gnea, i am one of those oddballs.
[22:07] <shingen> biagidp: depends on what you're doing with your laptop... me?  I want it to control at least another monitor :)
[22:07] <Gnea> The_Rebel: well, you've stayed, the other 2 left. ;)
[22:08] <oli__> Hey whats the name of the offtopic channel ?
[22:08] <The_Rebel> just bored, waiting for this kernel to compile.

[22:08] <The_PHP_Jedi> Jack_Sparrow, eh?
[22:08] <matthew_> what the name for irc winehq
[22:08] <biagidp> shingen: Well, thanks for the input.
[22:08] <kholerabbi> !dvd
[22:09] <Pirate_Hunter> shingen: im sure ubuntu should support a trident card heck archlinux did
[22:09] <shingen> hspaans: ati radeon mobility X300 with dual head support, one on the laptop and the other on a 1680x1024 display?
[22:09] <WebcamWonder> matthew_: #winehq
[22:09] <Jack_Sparrow> The_PHP_Jedi, tab complete .. sorry
[22:09] <matthew_> thanks
[22:09] <eseven73> whats so great bout freenx compared to x11vnc or tightvncserver?
[22:09] <kholerabbi> !dvd-css
[22:09] <The_PHP_Jedi> Jack_Sparrow, I noticed :) It happens to everyone, don't worry :P
[22:09] <shingen> Pirate_Hunter: do you know how rare those trident blade 3d cards are? :)  I've seen one in my lifetime and I've worked with alot of hardware back then
[22:09] <Gnea> eseven73: the fact that it's faster, supposedly (i haven't gotten it working fully just yet... it will connect, but it's not syncing with the desktop that's already running)
[22:10] <Gnea> although, I can get it to connect and give me a nice fullscreen terminal that I can't type in
[22:10] <Gnea> and no, there are no typos in what I just typed.
[22:10] <eseven73> Gnea: ah gotcha, could you please let me know if/when you get it fixed? :)
[22:10] <Pirate_Hunter> shingen: fair enough i just thought moving to ubuntu would be easier on this machine since its easier to manage than arch but i guess tomorow ill have to go back
[22:11] <Gnea> eseven73: maybe... are you working on it right now too? :)
[22:11] <hspaans> shingen: as long as you stay within the specifications you can also have s-video working
[22:11] <Ben1> hi guys, just used fdisk to partition a disk in 2 and cannot mount the second partition. sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/disk comes back with mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[22:11] <wikki> are recompiling the kernel or installing the server kernel the only way to get PAE support enabled?
[22:11] <eseven73> Gnea: not at the moment, I use x11vnc and tightvncserver or xtightvnc something like that
[22:11] <Ben1> i can mount /dev/sda1 ok...
[22:12] <Gnea> eseven73: okay
[22:12] <shingen> hspaans: works fine in windows :(
[22:12] <Gnea> eseven73: it's pretty sad, I'm the only one in #freenx right now...
[22:12] <saxin> I want to convert test.flv to test.mp3. any suggestions?
[22:12] <hspaans> shingen: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] <-- this is a working card for dual-screen
[22:12] <blathijs> Ben1: Did you create filesystems on the partitions?
[22:12] <eseven73> Gnea: ouch
[22:13] <hspaans> shingen: and its _low-end_
[22:13] <blathijs> Ben1: fdisk just updates the information about where the partitions are, it doesn't write anything on them
[22:13] <ali1234> Ben1: try specifying the fs type then? -t ext2/ext3/vfat/whatever and check dmesg
[22:13] <onetinsoldier> Ben1: you should have used parted. but anyway we'll need to know that filesystem type you did format disk 2 in
[22:13] <Gnea> eseven73: yeah, i've got google, and it's helped me get most of the way there
[22:13] <mdmkolbe> What audio tools does Ubuntu have that will tell me the length (in time) of a whole bunch of WAV files?
[22:13] <shingen> wikki: go 64 bit if you can, PAE is a very crappy way to use 3GB+ RAM.
[22:13] <wikki> ok
[22:13] <Ben1> blathijs . no i dont know how lol . although /dev/sda1 works
[22:13] <wikki> I guess I can go 64 bit
[22:13] <wikki> is it that big a deal?
[22:13] <blathijs> Ben1: Then there was probably a filesystem on the disk already
[22:14] <wikki> just install the 64 bit version?
[22:14] <wikki> maybe recompile some apps?
[22:14] <blathijs> Ben1: That means you now have a filesystem that covers the entire disk, in a partition that's to small
[22:14] <shingen> hspaans: yeah, but this is a mobility radeon, even crappier than a x300 :)
[22:14] <shingen> hspaans: mobility radeon x300 even
[22:14] <blathijs> Ben1: If there is no data on the disk, I'd just create two new filesystems (mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1)
[22:14] <hspaans> shingen: post xrandr -q to pastebin
[22:14] <WebcamWonder> mdmkolbe: ffmpeg -i [filename] should give you all the information you will ever need :)
[22:15] <shingen> hspaans: sec, synergy isn't running (it's on the box I keep begging about for 8.10 and fakeraid...)
[22:15] <kholerabbi> ah god. I've installed all those little things like dvd-css and gstreamer-plugins etc... and yet I go to play my movie and it plays the logos at the start and then repeats thema nd repeats them... and never gets to the menu!! HELP!
[22:15] <blathijs> Ben1: If there is data on the disk, you should probably undo your fdisk, backup the data and/or resize the filesystem, and then change the partitions
[22:15] <manja> I can't compile the driver from http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html for my VF0220

[22:16] <wigren> Hi all. I maintain a web server that I ssh in to at work. I've noticed weird IP addresses trying to log in as root or a host of different names in /var/log/auth.log. how worried should I be. I'm running Xubuntu 8.04 with the latest updates.
[22:16] <Ben1> blathijs I'll try that now.... it needs to be readable by deli linux installer... has to hold the install pkgs. i have no data on the disk. It's 512 mb, needs about 450mb avail for deli linux to install to and the rest to hold pkgs..
[22:16] <kholerabbi> eseven73: :) no - will that solve it?
[22:16] <eseven73> wigren: how many times has it happened?
[22:16] <eseven73> kholerabbi: maybe maybe not :)
[22:17] <shingen> hspaans: not really worried about the ATI issue fyi, I have two other laptops... I'd really like fakeraid because my vista install is my gaming machine
[22:17] <kholerabbi> eseven73: OK I'll check back after-
[22:17] <onetinsoldier> manja: do you have the linux-headers package installed?
[22:17] <hspaans> wigren: al long as you only have ssh2 and every account has a strong password, not much
[22:18] <sm5> salve
[22:18] <wigren> eseven73: a few times a day. it happens in spurts. i think its a bot as it will try five to ten names a in 30 seconds
[22:18] <WebcamWonder> hspaans: Better to use keys than passwords
[22:18] <Ben1> blathijs, its coming up with some junk about inodes and block size of 0....
[22:18] <manja> onetinsoldier, this ubuntu is freshly installed, there are many linux-headers packages, which one should I install?
[22:18] <eseven73> wigren: plus too, if its a work server, maybe other employees have access to the ssh? (Although maybe not access to the web server) if this is the case, then its 'normal' to see a bunch of log in attempts from other IP's
[22:18] <donaldo> 	
[22:18] <donaldo> run as the surround sound on a toshiba x205 ubuntu 8.10, somebody help me please
[22:19] <shingen> wigren: change the SSH port to something obscure, then you won't care if someone is knocking on port 22
[22:19] <blathijs> Ben1: It should output some stuff, if it doesn't look like an error you can probably ignore it :-)
[22:19] <mdmkolbe> WebcamWonder: thx, ffmpeg looks like it will work
[22:19] <hspaans> WebcamWonder: really? know enough machines that have been hacked that way, sorry
[22:19] <WebcamWonder> mdmkolbe: Yup, and if you do somehting like ffmpeg -i | grep Duration, that should only output the line of the duration
[22:19] <WebcamWonder> hspaans: By private/public keypairs? :O
[22:19] <onetinsoldier> manja: you may already have it installed --> dpkg -l linux-headers* | grep '^ii'
[22:20] <manja> onetinsoldier, I just tried to install linux-headers-2.6.27-9-generic and it told me that it's already installed

[22:20] <dracflamloc> does anyone know of a way to get wubi to work with ubuntu-eee
[22:20] <onetinsoldier> manja: ok, i think you need to makea symlink... or copy the file, hang on
[22:21] <hspaans> WebcamWonder: gss-api or keyboard-interactive (not password that is obsolete) are good alternatives
[22:21] <WebcamWonder> hspaans: That is the first time I have heard that argument. Anyways, lets leave that to another day, this is kinda offtopic
[22:22] <shingen> manual entry is obsolete, keyloggers are the culprit :)

[22:23] <blathijs> Ben1: Nope, that's the standard type
[22:23] <shingen> hspaans: have you tried a fingerprinter reader?  it's a pain to do with my own fingers, nevermind trying to lift a fingerprint :)

[22:25] <hspaans> shingen: I work for financials, so you do the math ;-)
[22:25] <shingen> Pirate_Hunter: a similar classed video card, e.g., geforce2 is less than $20 U.S., and might be alot simpler than having to support that legacy trident blade 3d card...
[22:25] <keres> onetinsoldier: i got a new site!

[22:26] <rasdel> Is anyone here from watching the current series STARGATE ?
[22:26] <ermoved> !offtopic
[22:26] <rasdel> no to co
[22:26] <onetinsoldier> manja: you'll need sudo for the stuff --> mkdir asm && cd asm && ln -sv linux/semaphore.h .
[22:26] <onetinsoldier> manja: oops.. i goofed
[22:27] <onetinsoldier> manja: and i'll just put the sudo's in there
[22:27] <Pingviller26> ok, I got a problem with actually finding the graphic drivers for my Toshiba Satellite A110.. it should have a ATI Radeon 200M graphic card, but the drivers from ATIs homepage doesnt work, even with my XP, so I wonder if any of you are good detectives in digging up drivers for those of us that basically suck at finding stuff theyre looking for
[22:27] <mib_r7ymmj> hi, i have another question please help im so confused. i have a pc, i can boot it into a BART-PE disc my friend gave me but not into a windows install disc or ubuntu...it just stalls. i know the hard drive is dead but why wouldnt they boot up?
[22:27] <Pirate_Hunter> shingen: i know i could just buy a cheap card but the point is it works no point changing it and it worked on the latest version of arch
[22:27] <onetinsoldier> manja: you'll need sudo for the stuff --> sudo mkdir asm && cd asm && sudo ln -sv ../linux/semaphore.h .
[22:27] <Jaywrong> mib_r7ymmj: take out the hd and check again
[22:28] <manja> onetinsoldier, done
[22:28] <onetinsoldier> manja: ok... try again now. i'll cross my fingers
[22:28] <mib_r7ymmj> Jaywrong: my friend ran a scan on it and he says it was called checkdisk, but the hard drive is failed
[22:28] <manja> onetinsoldier, will do, mine too
[22:29] <manja> onetinsoldier, same error
[22:29] <hspaans> mib_r7ymmj: if you have a disk with SMART, then install smartmon-tools and monitor it
[22:30] <rizz1> i think something id wrong with my flash, when i open pandora radio or try to view videos my browser closes, i just installed updates maybe why???
[22:30] <manja> onetinsoldier, oh oh, wait a moment
[22:30] <onetinsoldier> manja: well, i'm wish i knew the full path of where it's looking for this file at
[22:30] <manja> onetinsoldier, it's searching in linux-headers-2.6.27-9-generic but I just made the symlink in linux-headers-2.6.27-9
[22:30] <manja> onetinsoldier, I'll fix that, mom
[22:30] <onetinsoldier> manja: ok... roger
[22:32] <shingen> oh well, time to try the 40 step fakeraid install instead of re-running the 8.10 fakeraid 'it just works install' for the 5th time :P
[22:32] <readygo> Seveas: I have the RAID 1 + LVM configuration all set up (using all of my drives) and I'm about to install ubuntu to it - do I need to worry about setting up a boot partition?
[22:33] <isle85> is there a tool to tell the system to keep only two kernels ? I can remove the extra using synaptic, but maybe there is a parameter somewhere ? thanks
[22:33] <dcider> what happens if i delete the .local folder???
[22:33] <rizz1> ﻿i think something id wrong with my flash, when i open pandora radio or try to view videos my browser closes, i just installed updates could that be why???
[22:33] <manja> onetinsoldier, new error -> http://pastebin.com/d33e74428
[22:34] <Pingviller26> how come no one ever seem to be able to solve my problems?..
[22:34] <shingen> isle85: afaik, the only tool that exists is how many to display in grub...  msg me if you find out different :)
[22:34] <eseven73> isle85: ive always heard its best to uninstall kernels from synaptic
[22:34] <ali1234> Pingviller26: i had to fix up a toshiba for somebody once. the drivers from ati didn't work, the only ones that worked were the ones from toshiba's site. this is not relevant to linux though.
[22:35] <onetinsoldier> manja: hard for me to tell what the error is because i can't read german. however, if you set the LANG to C ithink it's would be in plain ascii english
[22:35] <isle85> shingen: grub is just a way to "display" the ones I want to see, but I thought there was something in a configuration tool to tell the system : once we have two kernels and associated files, please remove me the older one if you want to install a new one.
[22:35] <Flannel> isle85: It's hairy at best (because the automated package stuffs wouldn't have any idea which kernels are good/bad/etc), but you can use some apt preferences to remove the older ones automatically.
[22:35] <Pingviller26> ali1234: I still need to actually find them, but ya, its not a technical linux specific problem
[22:36] <Flannel> isle85: Its just something you should weigh the benefits/risks of, before you find yourself without a good kernel to fall back on
[22:36] <onetinsoldier> manja: it's be something like  $export LANG=C   ..then do the make command
[22:36] <manja> onetinsoldier, the first error is an implicit decleration of the function , but I'll set the language, mom
[22:37] <ali1234> Pingviller26: actually now i think about it i dont think even toshiba site had them, i had to use the CD that came with it which the person produced after i'd been searching online for like 4 hours :(
[22:37] <istofix> good bye everybody,
[22:37] <Pingviller26> ali1234: oh crap... they didnt include the cds for this laptop... not that I can remember the last time I bought a computer that included the drivers and OS lol
[22:38] <buttercups> Pingviller26, there under system,administration,hardware drivers
[22:38] <onetinsoldier> manja: you should know,i probably can't help too much with these kiinds of errors. the missing file, got that one. but stuff beyond that, i doubt i can be of much help. however, my first though is, it wants a specific version of kernel headers. perhaps from an older version of the kernel
[22:41] <manja> onetinsoldier, btw, the right command for language change is export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
[22:41] <Ben1> since when does a linux install come up with 'verifying dmi pool data...' ????
[22:43] <onetinsoldier> manja: ok, roger. nokia once told me to have people set it to C and that would make it plain ascii. i think he said that because not everyone will have en_US-UTF-8 support installed
[22:44] <manja> I can't compile the driver for my VF0220 (Creative webcam), I get the error: http://pastebin.com/d44d56df, on Ubuntu 2.6.27-9-generic
[22:44] <onetinsoldier> manja: i have to go for a bit here.. i'll be back, but not for about 20 minutes
[22:44] <manja> onetinsoldier, thanks for your help, see you later
[22:46] <w3rd_> can intel video cards be set for dual displays in 8.10
[22:46] <ali1234> w3rd_: yes
[22:46] <Pingviller26> ali1234: actually I managed to find it on toshibas homepage after alot of hassle.. manufacturers needs to let go of the Vistacraze and advertise links to their old drivers as well.. thanks for the help!
[22:46] <onetinsoldier> manja: ok, good luck
[22:47] <w3rd_> ali1234: do you have a good link that describes how to do this possibly?
[22:47] <ali1234> w3rd_: just plug in the second monitor, restart X (log out, log in) and then go to the screen resolution options
[22:48] <w3rd_> let me give it ago...
[22:48] <issa_> Hi, please help me. Suddenly my hd became 100% full, and so when I restarted kubuntu didn't store the last session (obviously) so when I logged in again I was in with a fresh session with default panel, desktop and everything as it looks like first time I installed kubuntu. How do I retrieve the previous sessions that had been saved before the very previous one that wasn't!?
[22:49] <ali1234> issa_: freeing some HD space will probably fix it
[22:49] <issa_> ali1234: I did free, it didn't fix it!
[22:50] <eseven73> issa_: do you have any backups of the .kde folder?
[22:50] <issa_> ali1234: I know it's ubuntu here, no one answered me in kubuntu channel, but I suppose a lot of you here may use both ubuntu and jubuntu
[22:50] <hejdixon> Hi all! D I have a major problem if the password says "x" for all users in the /etc/passwd file?
[22:50] <ali1234> issa_: on the login screen, what session is selected?
[22:50] <Uplink> how do i mount my windows partition?
[22:50] <issa_> eseven73: I don't, but shouldn't there be something like old saves or something?
[22:51] <issa_> ali1234: kde
[22:51] <ali1234> issa_: not kde failsafe?
[22:51] <Flannel> hejdixon: No, that's normal.  Passwords aren't stored in /etc/passwd anymore
[22:51] <issa_> ali1234: no
[22:51] <Slart> hejdixon: isn't there a shadow file?
[22:51] <eseven73> hmm thats unfortunate issa_ , you should always make backups no matter what OS you're in!
[22:51] <Slart> hejdixon: /etc/shadow ?
[22:52] <hejdixon> Flannel, Slart: Okey. Yeah, there's a shadow file
[22:52] <issa_> eseven73: OK, thanks for the tip. I guess I have to reorganize my session again!
[22:52] <deepfriedsquirre> Hi, my browsers (firefox, konqueror) aren't working but my chat clients (kopete, pidgin, konversation) are. Blame the ISP?
[22:53] <eseven73> issa_: i suggest getting Rsync and its GUI (Grsync) and gnome-schedule (gui frontend for Cron) and maybe Unison as well
[22:54] <starenka> hi how can i edit deamons/services run at startup via commandline?
[22:54] <Slart> !doesntwork | deepfriedsquirre
[22:54] <Slart> !boot | starenka
[22:54] <l-isla> thats funny ubottu
[22:54] <nemo> Say, is anyone here on hardy?  Trying to figure out if it is at all possible to link Evolution to google calendar in Hardy
[22:54] <deepfriedsquirre> lol sorry, seen that one before
[22:54] <deepfriedsquirre> Well, the broswers just sit there saying they're loading without giving me any error message
[22:54] <nemo> the Google calendar type seems to just throw away the username (there's a long confusing bug on this)
[22:55] <Slart> deepfriedsquirre: is dns working alright? can you ping www.google.com?
[22:55] <nemo> and the ICS type seems to fail - possibly due to renaming http to webcal, although I'd swear I used that without trouble in the past
[22:55] <starenka> Slart: thx
[22:55] <deepfriedsquirre> aptitude isn't working either, weird. Just '[waiting for headers]'
[22:55] <Slart> starenka: you're welcome
[22:55] <deepfriedsquirre> Pings are working
[22:55] <Slart> deepfriedsquirre: well.. that actually makes sense.. I think apt/aptitude uses http transfers
[22:56] <manja> onetinsoldier, I'm furious, just found out that my cam does work in Ekiga (with the build in UVC driver) and the problem is solely with skype :(
[22:56] <Slart> deepfriedsquirre: you haven't somehow set it to use a proxe of some kind?
[22:56] <deepfriedsquirre> Ah, I had http downloads stopping almost instantly the other day.
[22:56] <deepfriedsquirre> Slart: it says tor disabled
[22:56] <hejdixon> Slart: so /etc/shadow is where the passord is stored?
[22:56] <w3rd_> ali1234: i was able to config the 2nd monitor... but what if im using a different x windows manager than know.. can i get to system preference via a file browser to make the change??
[22:56] <Flannel> hejdixon: well, the hash of the password, yes.
[22:56] <Slart> hejdixon: "man shadow" didn't work?
[22:56] <andresmh>  gstreamer-properties freezes when testing video input: http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/5688/screenshotuc1.png) but it works on skype using the same device: http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/7383/screenshotoptionsmn0.png
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[22:57] <ali1234> w3rd_: probably... hang on
[22:57] <w3rd_> k
[22:57] <Slart> hejdixon: here's another good source of info http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Shadow-Password-HOWTO.html#toc1
[22:57] <deepfriedsquirre> Goodness knows what's been going on outside of my computer. I'm always having problems with the Internet... with cables and probably with the ISP. For some reason, my father is convinced that AOL is good and reliable.
[22:57] <l-isla> w3rd_ you might want to also look at xrandr. Its command line but you can try man xrandr for more info
[22:58] <ali1234> w3rd_: gnome-display-properties in the shell
[22:58] <andresmh> any idea how to make my builtin webcam work with gstreamer?
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> deepfriedsquirre: show him the "AOL letter" its classic
[22:58] <Gnea> eseven73: got it :)
[22:58] <bogsdev> hi all! anyone here using s3backer for backups>
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> !webcam | andresmh
[22:58] <eseven73> Gnea: can you pm me the fix?
[22:58] <deepfriedsquirre> ActionParsnip: I would, but my browsers aren't working.
[22:58] <bogsdev> ?
[22:58] <n8tuser> deepfriedsquirre - what do you have between your hosts and the dsl modem?
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> deepfriedsquirre: can you ping ips and names or just names? can you ping other machines on the lan by name / ip?
[22:59] <mdmkolbe> How do I convert a directory full of JPG files (sequentially but not contiguously numbered) into an AVI file (no sound)?  (Background: These JPG files are recovered frames from an AVI on a crashed disk.)
[22:59] <deepfriedsquirre> Well, we have a router...
[22:59] <Slart> deepfriedsquirre: well.. I don't really know how to troubleshoot http connections.. perhaps you could try wget with some verbosity options.. but I think you'd have to install it first.. and without apt working...
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> deepfriedsquirre: can you ping the router?
[22:59] <hejdixon> Slart; thanks
[22:59] <Gnea> eseven73: nah
[22:59] <deepfriedsquirre> I don't know if that's between them; I don't know much about the Internet and the ins and outs of it, sorry. Just some of the basics.
[22:59] <bogsdev> previous?
[22:59] <Gnea> eseven73: but i can tell it to you here ;)
[22:59] <Slart> mdmkolbe: have you looked at mencoder if it's got some kind of "make a movie out of images"-feature?
[22:59] <n8tuser> deepfriedsquirre - is the dsl modem also acting as a router?  any firewalls on such router?
[23:00] <ali1234> mdmkolbe: 'transcode' can do it but it is a horrible program to use...
[23:00] <Slart> mdmkolbe: I think I saw some kind of command line app that did that.. might have been ffmpeg.. or transcode..
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> mdmkolbe: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-903522.html
[23:00] <interstellar> any idea for a free online storage with ssh access (and wget if possible) ?
[23:00] <eseven73> Gnea: :/  ok i thought it be easier with all this scrolling
[23:00] <w3rd_> ali1234: ill check it out...
[23:00] <deepfriedsquirre> I really don't know, if I asked my father he probably wouldn't have a clue and I wouldn't be trusted to fumble around with it.
[23:00] <Gnea> eseven73: when you go to connect, just make sure you change the Desktop configuration from UNIX to Shadow
[23:00] <bogsdev> interstellar: what are your needs?
[23:00] <Gnea> eseven73: it's better this way, in case someone else needs it
[23:01] <deepfriedsquirre> The weird thing is that when I restart, it often works again, but disabling networking isn't enough.
[23:01] <eseven73> Gnea: ok
[23:01] <deepfriedsquirre> Hang on, let me try a really common sense black magic mystical solution
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> mdmkolbe: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/mencoder-problem-converting-.jpg-to-.avi-322764/
[23:01] <ali1234> deepfriedsquirre: rogue dhcp?
[23:01] <n8tuser> deepfriedsquirre - you have settings that are mis-configured..
[23:01] <Slart> deepfriedsquirre: one easy thing to try would be to reboot everything.. router, dsl modem, computer.. just unplug the router for a couple of seconds and restart it
[23:01] <Mimi> Hiiiiiiiii can anyone tell me how to find my internal IP (eth1 NIC)?   ifconfig shows no ip
[23:01] <Slart> Mimi: then you probably don't have one
[23:02] <n8tuser> Mimi - if ifconfig does not show it, other tools would not either
[23:02] <interstellar> bogsdev: ssh, wget and minimum of 10MB
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> Mimi: can you give us the output of: ifconfig eth1 (in a pastebin)
[23:02] <deepfriedsquirr1> Nope, black magic doesn't work.
[23:02] <mdmkolbe> thx all
[23:02] <bogsdev> interstellar: does it HAVE to be free or just cheap?
[23:02] <Mimi> Slart,  if Im connected to the interwebs, and I'm behind a router, I should, no?
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> !paste |  Mimi
[23:02] <n8tuser> Mimi - what in the world is interwebs? perhaps you can elaborate on your network setup?
[23:03] <Mimi> ActionParsnip, ... LAME. Thanks :P I didnt know I had to type the NIC name after ifconfig, thank you!
[23:03] <Slart> Mimi: I would say so, yes
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> Mimi: if you use a specific interface you get a bit more info, ifcofig on its own kinda sucks
[23:03] <n8tuser> no need to type in the nic's name   ifconfig should do fine by itself
[23:03] <Mimi> n8tuser,  ^_^; interwebs is a silly word for "Internet".   My laptop Wireless is connected to a router, router is connected to Modem.
[23:03] <interstellar> bogsdev: free for start...
[23:03] <deepfriedsquirr1> Blarg, I think I'll go install Zenwalk and if doesn't work in a bit go whine at father and maybe find this AOL Letter and show it to him. Thanks everyone for trying to help
[23:04] <andresmh> thanks ActionParsnip, how can I check what kind of webcam I have and/or the drivers it is using, as per the web page you sent it might be that i am suffering from one of the kernel bugs
[23:04] <deepfriedsquirr1> And lol ActionParsnip. Good nick as well.
[23:04] <Mimi> Im actually trying to share internet on eth1 thats why i needed internal IP (thinking that might be what Gateway is all about LOL )
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> andresmh: lsusb and lspci
[23:04] <Andrew4826> question--- why does my x server break everytime i update ubuntu  (i have an nVidia card)
[23:04] <Slart> Mimi: oh.. ip for the wireless connection didn't show up in a plain ifconfig output??..
[23:04] <n8tuser> Mimi - do not try to be so cutesie,  i can throw words your way you would not understand, so be clear and specific so we can help you
[23:04] <Flannel> Andrew4826: How did you install your nvidia drivers?
[23:04] <Andrew4826> apt-get
[23:05] <bogsdev> interstellar: ok. not sure what your application is, but I've beenn using Amazon S3 to store quite a bit of data lately. Can be mounted as a drive on your machine using s3fs or s3backer.
[23:05] <Mimi> Slart,  the wireless did, but not the eth1. eth1 is connected to my boyfriends laptop (no internet on his) because I want to share it with him
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> Andrew4826: you may find you have to updae the nvidia driver when yuo update the kernel
[23:05] <doglino> hello people
[23:05] <Flannel> Andrew4826: Do you have -proposed enabled?
[23:05] <Andrew4826> sudo apt-get nVidia?
[23:05] <Mimi> n8tuser, me too, in several languages, just thought interwebs is a well known silly word
[23:05] <Andrew4826> thats not right but what do u put
[23:05] <bogsdev> interstellar: if you mount your S3 account  with s3fs you can access the data anywhere
[23:06] <andresmh> ActionParsnip, I can't find an entry in lsusb and lspci that it's obviously my builtin webcam
[23:06] <Slart> Mimi: oh.. never seen that before.. well well
[23:06] <bogsdev> interstellar: but it's not free. about .15 per GB
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> andresmh: lsusb is not massively clear, if you websearch the identifiers that are no 000000000 then you may unearth some gold
[23:07] <n8tuser> Mimi - the router has multiple ports -- why not take advantage of it and have your friends ethernet connected to those ports?
[23:07] <AgeMania58987> 	
[23:07] <AgeMania58987> How do you connect your modem 502g of d-link the USB port on ubuntu?
[23:08] <w3rd_> ali1234: i guess it doesnt work for fluxbox...
[23:08] <doglino> I have a problem with skype, I can't hear any sound in skype but the listener person can hear my voice, any idea?
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> AgeMania58987: attach it and run lsusb
[23:08] <w3rd_> i was able to access gnome-diplay-properties.... but im not able to apply the settings
[23:08] <bogsdev> interstellar: maybe this http://www.joyent.com/connector/Secure-Backups
[23:09] <R1_> Hi, is there anyway to change my computer name on ubuntu 8.10 intrepid?
[23:09] <AgeMania58987> ActionParsnip I like That?
[23:09] <Mimi> n8tuser, we dont have any more cables, plus he's going away to college soon.  just wanted to play online game together while hes here
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> w3rd_: make sure you have write access to ~/.gone and all the other fluff in you home folder
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> AgeMania58987: huh?
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> AgeMania58987: its a terminal command]
[23:10] <w3rd_> i really dont want to use gnome's interface i prefer fluxbox... everything is so convienant but if you cant use dual displays thats garbage... is there a manual way to override these settings in like a conf file or something?
[23:10] <n8tuser> Mimi - well instead of plugging his host ethernet to your laptop, use same cable directly to the router,  and then both the laptop and his hosts have access to the internet
[23:10] <R1_> Hi, is there anyway to change my computer name on ubuntu 8.10 intrepid?
[23:11] <sinbox> w3rd_, is your fluxbox configured for dual display support?
[23:11] <n8tuser> w3rd_ - try /etc/X11/xorg.conf  for X settings
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> w3rd_: i use fluxbox but not dual displays
[23:11] <eseven73> w3rd_: have you tried it in IceWM?
[23:11] <w3rd_> is that a skin eseven73
[23:11] <eseven73> its like fluxbox
[23:11] <w3rd_> hmm... have to check it out
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> w3rd_: i'd ;isten to n8tuser, if you use nvidia cards you can setu dual heads there
[23:11] <eseven73> i like it :)
[23:11] <w3rd_> gonna try and modify x11 first
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> !dualhead | w3rd_
[23:11] <w3rd_> o
[23:11] <eseven73> Enlightenment is nice too
[23:11] <w3rd_> im using intel company cards
[23:11] <sinbox> w3rd_, i think you need fluxbox with xinerama enabled or some such, you could always ask in #fluxbox though
[23:12] <w3rd_> is elightment like fluxbox
[23:12] <ali1234> w3rd_: if you want to set it permanently you can put it in xorg.conf... or try using xrandr command line tool as was suggested...
[23:12] <w3rd_> ?
[23:12] <eseven73> kinda
[23:12] <AgeMania58987> ActionParsnip to use this command, I have to be logged on the Internet?
[23:12] <R1_> Hi, is there anyway to change my computer name/hostname  on ubuntu 8.10 intrepid?
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> AgeMania58987: no, it will identify usb devices
[23:12] <Slart> R1_: there is a file.. /etc/hostname perhaps?
[23:12] <AgeMania58987> ActionParsnip I am novice in the use of ubuntu
[23:12] <Gnea> eseven73: the only thing that's odd is that, if the resolution on the remote system is larger than yours, the font is going to squish if you want to see the whole desktop
[23:12] <ali1234> w3rd_: to make gnome-display-settings work in fluxbox you probably need to be running gnome-settings-daemon and dbus and a ton of other stuff...
[23:12] <yaris123456789> hey guys is there an addon that lets me login to multiple accounts, like gmail, yahoo, msn
[23:12] <Mimi> n8tuser,  mmm sorry i dont understand. i must be tired.  lets see: theres 1 router, 1 cable, 2 computers. Youre saying I should plug cable from his laptop to the router?
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> AgeMania58987: you will learn
[23:12] <R1_> Slart, is that the best and only way?
[23:12] <w3rd_> let me check #fluxbox for some confirmation
[23:12] <w3rd_> ty thus far brb
[23:13] <Slart> R1_: not sure if it will make all kinds of names change though
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> !hostname
[23:13] <AgeMania58987> ActionParsnip I hope
[23:13] <adam7> R1_: you can use the hostname command to change it for this session only
[23:13] <eseven73> Gnea: ok hmmm maybe there's a bug fix for that i wonder
[23:13] <n8tuser> Mimi - you said you have a cable between your computer and his? or i mis-read you?
[23:13] <R1_> ohh cool
[23:13] <R1_> adam7 thanks taht's what i was looking for
[23:13] <manja> I have made source.list entries which go like this: "deb bla jaunty main" and I need one specific package from the source, how do I write the apt-get install command so it recognizes these lines (I'm obviously not running jaunty and I think that's why it ignores them)
[23:14] <adam7> manja: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install someprogram
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> manja: sudo apt-get update
[23:14] <adam7> manja: be *sure* to remove that line when you finish and run apt-get update again, you can get yourself in a lot of trouble
[23:14] <MrWhammy> hi, I can't get the monitor on my Toshiba Satellite 1400 series to work in 1024x768. Is there anywhere I can find the appropriate ModeLines for this monitor?
[23:15] <n8tuser> manja - are you mixing  jaunty and previous ubuntu versions?  be on the look out for mismatches
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> !jaunty | manja
[23:15] <MrWhammy> something's wrong with my username btw :)
[23:15] <AgeMania58987> ActionParsnip what exactly should I enter the command lsusb
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> !terminal | AgeMania58987
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> MrWhammy: run: lspci | grep -i vga
[23:16] <manja> adam7, ActionParsnip , n8tuser, apt-get update says Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty/main Packages, why is it ignored?
[23:16] <Gnea> eseven73: yeah, it's called "reconfigure resolution settings" ;)
[23:16] <Wildcat_> anyone here ever use ubuntu 8.10 on a laptop to send the video display and audio to a high def TV via hdmi cables?
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> MrWhammy: you can websearch using that info
[23:16] <AgeMania58987> ActionParsnip thankyou very much
[23:16] <Wildcat_> with an nvidia graphics card?
[23:16] <eseven73> Gnea: cool ok good to know :)
[23:16] <n8tuser> manja - are you mixing  jaunty and previous ubuntu versions?
[23:16] <hikenboot> hello all I do  cd /dev && sudo ./MAKEDEV audio and I get cannot remove device mixer read-only file system anyone know why
[23:16] <paulr__> hi, i'm just wondering whether there's anyway to tell if mercurial 1.1 might make itself into a jaunty package in the *near* future
[23:16]  * ActionParsnip wouldnt dream of touching jaunty
[23:16] <MrWhammy> thanks, I'll run the results through Ggl
[23:17] <manja> n8tuser, I only need libv4l - 0.5.7-1~dooz1 to make my webcam run in skype
[23:17] <eseven73> if its not a LTS i dont want anything to do with it...
[23:17] <adam7> manja: if you just need one package, open the repo url in firefox and download the package
[23:17] <n8tuser> manja - are you mixing  jaunty and previous ubuntu versions?  <-- you can not answer this?
[23:17] <Grassputin> anyone have a link for a good starting point to build a desktop centric firewall with iptables?
[23:17] <adam7> n8tuser: he is
[23:17] <manja> n8tuser, I guess I am
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> Grassputin: snort is good
[23:18] <manja> adam7, didn't think of that, thanks
[23:18] <n8tuser> manja - as someone suggested, use wget to retrieve the file and be on the lookout of unmet dependencies
[23:19] <ali1234> manja: did you say you have a uvc webcam?
[23:19] <doglino> I have a problem with skype, I can't hear any sound in skype but the listener person can hear my voice, any idea?
[23:19] <vladutz> cnva din rom?
[23:19] <Perogies1> I need a good Linux Analogy
[23:19] <faryshta> I am trying to use a usb-drive, then it throw me a error message when I am burning a blank cd.
[23:20] <manja> ali1234, yes
[23:20] <faryshta> it says I must check permissions
[23:20] <vladutz> cnva din rom?
[23:20] <eseven73> !english | vladutz
[23:20] <hikenboot> anyone able to help with a no sound issue on intrepid
[23:21] <ali1234> manja: i have a uvc cam and it doesn't work in anything except luvcview... annoying
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> !sound | hikenboot
[23:21] <Perogies1> like Linux should be like "x"; Free as in beer, and freedom as in speech. (Solve for x)
[23:21] <faryshta> How can I burn a cd using usb-drive?
[23:21] <Samuel-NotAFK> ﻿My X server keeps crashing whenever I start conky. I'm using Kubuntu 8.04 with Compiz Fusion on my EEE901.
[23:21] <manja> ali1234, it seems to be a common problem in 8.10, I wish I had installed 8.04
[23:21] <Samuel-NotAFK> manja: 8.04 is riddled with problems!
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> Samuel-NotAFK: run conky from terminal to get intelligent outputs
[23:22] <manja> Samuel-NotAFK, why, isn't it LTS ?
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> Samuel-NotAFK: some people would disagree some would agree
[23:22] <interstellar> bogsdev: i have registred with s3, juset few moments first... but I can't find how to access via ssh
[23:22] <Samuel-NotAFK> manja: Yeah but all versions of Ubuntu are buggy. ><
[23:23] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: From a tty?
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> Samuel-NotAFK: every OS sucks
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> Samuel-NotAFK: from a terminal
[23:23] <manja> n8tuser, wget is complicated, mind guiding me a little ?
[23:23] <eseven73> show me an os that isnt buggy
[23:23] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: I tried from konsole but I couldn't read the output before it crashed.
[23:23] <Samuel-NotAFK> eseven73: Debian 4.0
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> Samuel-NotAFK: you'll need to redirect it to a file somehow then, I think it'll be: conky 2>~/result.txt
[23:24] <junglist313> ok so I just tied to upgrade to 8.10 and the upgrade tool ran into several problems. libgl libssl libmesa were unable to be updated. now the upgrade is complete but I am getting a warning saying the system may be in an unusable state. Should i reboot?
[23:24] <n8tuser> manja its not complicate, you know where the file is stored in a remote site..just use  wget  http://urlto/get/there/filename
[23:24] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: Thanks, doing it now.
[23:24] <faryshta> How can I burn a cd using usb-drive?
[23:24] <ali1234> junglist313: probably not
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> junglist313: run the upgrade from terminal (server upgrade)
[23:25] <manja> n8tuser, no options? ok but I can't find the file in firefox
[23:25] <junglist313> ActionParsnip" sudo apt-get server upgrade?
[23:25] <manja> n8tuser, https://launchpad.net/~lool/+archive, I need the libv4l
[23:26] <I3lade> I'm not sure if you guys can help me here, but how do I install JavaVM for Firefox?
[23:26] <nemo> Anyone here using Hardy who has successfully gotten Evolution linked to google calendar, even r/o using ics?
[23:26] <n8tuser> manja please do not ask me of the dependencies jaunty needed, you have been advised not to use them yet, or you are on your own
[23:26] <I3lade> I've tried following the instructions on the site, but Firefox dosn't seem to see it
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | junglist313
[23:26] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/m25b1162a
[23:27] <manja> n8tuser, I know that it's risky, but there is no other way to get the webcam working in skype and I'm sitting on this problem for hours
[23:27] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: I don't think it told me anything useful.
[23:27] <treyk4> Where would I go to look for more themes for ubuntu?
[23:27] <manja> n8tuser, I'm trying this workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/+bug/260918/comments/112
[23:28] <I3lade> treyk4 I'd imagine google'd be a good place to start
[23:28] <Stormx2> treyk4: www.gnome-look.org
[23:28] <I3lade> I need JavaVM running in Firefox so I can do homework, I can't figure out what I did wrong...
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> Samuel-NotAFK: you ~/.conkyrc is referencing some sensors stuff
[23:29] <Seveas> !themes | treyk4
[23:29] <LordFDisk> I have a Q: what's a good way to make a screenshot of my login screen?
[23:29] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: I don't think that caused the crash.
[23:29] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: Why would it?
[23:29] <Stormx2> !java | I3lade
[23:29] <Seveas> LordFDisk, gdmflexiserver --xnest
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> Samuel-NotAFK: try a different ~/.conkyrc
[23:29] <I3lade> oh... THanks
[23:29] <I3lade> *Thanks
[23:29] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: It works  with kwin enabled but not with compiz enabled.
[23:30] <faryshta> how can I use a usb-CD-drive?
[23:30] <faryshta> external USB-CD
[23:30] <ali1234> faryshta: have you tried just plugging it in and using it?
[23:30] <onetinsoldier> manja: hello. did you get it to compile while i was away?
[23:30] <faryshta> ali1234, ohh really?
[23:30] <R1_> ! hostname
[23:30] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: Therefore, how could the sensors stuff possibly be the cause of the crash? It must be something wrong with CF I think.
[23:31] <faryshta> ali1234, It send me an error message when I try to burn something
[23:31] <faryshta> says I must check permissions.
[23:31] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: I think I know! I have my CF to open all windows maximised.
[23:31] <walt> how do I make an application auto start in a specific desktop?
[23:31] <ali1234> faryshta: ah... that's a bit trickier then...
[23:32] <R1_> How come i don't have System > Administration > Networking ?? I only see network tools
[23:32] <manja> onetinsoldier, no, but I found out that it works on Ekiga and that skype has a problem, then I found on http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Skype that this problem is common and this workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/+bug/260918/comments/112 tells me to use a lib from jaunty, but I don't know how and since jaunty is dangerous, people won't help me here :/
[23:32] <gushix> Hi all. When I ssh into a remote machine, somehow the ~/.bash_history doesn't record my commands, unlike when I open a shell locally. any ideas why and where is the history saved?
[23:32] <I3lade> wait
[23:32] <faryshta> well how can I use the network to connect an XP machine using lan?
[23:32] <I3lade> how does that change anything in firefox?
[23:32] <LordFDisk> Seveas, Thank you tried that but it gave an erorr
[23:32] <Seveas> LordFDisk, the error was?
[23:32] <I3lade> Stormx2 how does that affect firefox though?
[23:32] <MrWhammy> @ActionParsnip: got it to work using Google and the xorg.conf from 7.10 using your lspci hint, thanks!!
[23:33] <Seveas> LordFDisk, probably you need to install the fdisk package. Possibly you need to run that command with sudo
[23:33] <onetinsoldier> manja: oh.. hmmm. have you tried the lib from jaunty?
[23:33] <manja> onetinsoldier, I don't know how
[23:33] <ali1234> !samba | faryshta
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> MrWhammy: wtg bro, smooth move
[23:33] <xork> hello!  so I've got an issue - i've an external firewire drive that randomly disappears and is no longer listed in fdisk -l.  a reboot most often makes it visible again, but what boot process makes that happen so i don't have to reboot to bring back my external drive?
[23:33] <R1_> How come i don't have System > Administration > Networking ?? I only see network tools?? anyone who is using ubuntu 8.10 intrepid see "Networking" under their administration menu???
[23:34] <manja> onetinsoldier, https://launchpad.net/~lool/+archive, how do I get it? ^^
[23:34] <onetinsoldier> manja: let me see if i can find it, hang on
[23:34] <Terrasque> R1_: you don't have admin rights?
[23:34] <Kornett> ubuntu seems not to use usb 2.0 when mounting an external hd; on launchpad there is a workaround with "sudo rmmod ehci_hcd" and "sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd" but this works only for a few seconds then the transfer speed drops down below 1 mbyte/s. any ideas? it's horrible because i must copy a large amount of data onto an hd until tomorrow
[23:35] <I3lade> I need to get JavaVM working under firefox, Firefox isn't seeing the plugin, I've follwed all the instructions on the Sun site to the letter, but It's still not working... any help?
[23:35] <LordFDisk> I get -> You do not seem to have the authentication needed for this operation.  Perhaps your .Xauthority file is not set up correctly

[23:37] <Seveas> LordFDisk, that error goes away when you install the xnest package. And you do *not* need to use sudo :)
[23:38] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: I can't figure out the problem. :(
[23:38] <I3lade> I know you guys are busy, but I'm sort of pressed for time here, I need to get JavaVM working in Firefox... please help?
[23:38] <onetinsoldier> manja: i don't know that you'll be able to use that lib in Intrepid ok though. you could force the installation of it, but it might not really work ok in Intrepid

[23:38] <faryshta> any help with the external usb-cd-drive? it says I need to check permissions when I try to burn stuff.
[23:38] <I3lade> Gnea I've looked at that
[23:38] <kibibyte> hi
[23:38] <I3lade> but that's not helping me
[23:38] <Gnea> I3lade: what's the problem?
[23:38] <I3lade> unless I misread something
[23:38] <kibibyte> ho to install java firefox plugin to amd64?
[23:38] <R1_> How come i don't have System > Administration > Networking ?? I only see network tools?? anyone who is using ubuntu 8.10 intrepid see "Networking" under their administration menu???
[23:38] <shingen> omg, I nearly blew out my speakers booting with 8.10 live cd :)
[23:39] <I3lade> Gnea I need to get JavaVM specifically, working with Firefox, I've installed it and everything and followed the Sun site instructions to the letter, but Firefox dosn't see it
[23:39] <I3lade> the plugin I mean
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> Samuel-NotAFK: all i can suggest is using a very basic ~/.conkyrc file
[23:39] <Slart> R1_: same here.. network tools, no networking
[23:39] <kibibyte> help
[23:39] <manja> onetinsoldier, but the workaround talks about Upgrading libv4l-0 from 0.5.0-3~intrepid1 to specifically 0.5.3-1~dooz1 and the link you gave me is for the generic libv4l-0 (0.5.3-1)
[23:39] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: Okay I'll try that.
[23:39] <Slart> R1_: I have some networking items in system, preferences though
[23:39] <josher4> I need to get my Seagate FreeAgent drive recognized by 8.10
[23:39] <josher4> I plug it in and nothing
[23:39] <R1_> Slart, yea me too but that there is no general tab anywhere that let's me change the hostname
[23:39] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: Yep works.
[23:40] <Gnea> I3lade: okay, I just looked at it - looks like they're in the middle of an edit.... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JavaInstallation looks like it has what you'll need
[23:40] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: I wonder what specific line triggered the crash.
[23:40] <ali1234> !hostname | R1_
[23:40] <R1_> Slart, and i rather not edit host files =/
[23:40] <Slart> R1_: eh.. I'm not sure that's a networking configuration
[23:40] <Gnea> I3lade: okay, then my question for you is this: did you install java from the sun website, or from the repository?
[23:40] <LordFDisk> Seveas do I need xnest and or xserver-xephyr packages loaded?
[23:40] <ali1234> hmm... outdated factoid?
[23:40] <I3lade> Gnea from the sun website... I couldn't find it in the repository, but then again I never messed with it much
[23:40] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: I think it's the window type.
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> Samuel-NotAFK: then comment out lots of the file using # at the start of the lines until it crashes, then you know which line is casuing the issue
[23:40] <junglist313> ActionParsnip: I don't see a --force-all option, could it be --Force-yes ?
[23:41] <Slart> R1_: there you can do it on the command line if you want
[23:41] <josher4> Anybody?
[23:41] <Seveas> LordFDisk, apt-get install xnest should do the trick (it did for me :))
[23:41] <Gnea> I3lade: okay, first things first: remove what you've installed from sun's site
[23:41] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: ughhh if I have to
[23:41] <Gnea> I3lade: let me know when it's all cleaned up, we can proceed from there.

[23:42] <manja> onetinsoldier, thanks, I hope this works, else I would have to reinstall to 8.04 :(
[23:42] <Kornett> maybe i should get a live cd of another distribution and then copy the files onto the hd ...
[23:42] <ali1234> MAXI-MUM: you need to install 64 bit to use 4gb+
[23:42] <webaska> envyng drivers worked fine for me this time..
[23:42] <onetinsoldier> manja: roger
[23:42] <josher4> I go into 8.10 and nothing pops up
[23:43] <josher4> Plug it in and I cant find it

[23:43] <josher4> Did
[23:43] <josher4> Nothing
[23:43] <I3lade> Gnea ok, I removed everything

[23:44] <Gnea> I3lade: great, now type this in a terminal:  sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
[23:44] <Flannel> webaska: HowtoForge is generally a poor website for Ubuntu
[23:44] <Gnea> I3lade: and if you have firefox open right now, go ahead and close it
[23:44] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: I'm making progress. :)
[23:44] <manja> onetinsoldier, I installed it, but it doesn't work :( I don't need to reboot/relog, do I ?
[23:44] <MAXI-MUM> ali1234, vista working like charm but ubuntu dont boot
[23:44] <webaska> but few times that smalll guide worked flawlessly :|
[23:45] <ali1234> MAXI-MUM: well it should do... adding ram should not affect anything... was it working before? if so i would remove the ram, make sure there's no dust or crud on the pins, and reinstall it
[23:45] <daleharvey> trying to do a quick firefox theme, I can select a bunch of folders, right click and create .jar, works great
[23:45] <I3lade> Gnea it says everything is already the newest version
[23:45] <josher4> Gnea, ideas?
[23:45] <faryshta> any help with the external usb-cd-drive? it says I need to check permissions when I try to burn stuff.
[23:45] <daleharvey> but doing it from the command line with zip /stuff.jar ./ fails, when ran from the same place
[23:45] <LordFDisk> Seveas, Thank You ... that did it thank you for you time and info...
[23:45] <Gnea> josher4: i don't know about doing it from the livecd
[23:45] <josher4> ok
[23:45] <onetinsoldier> manja: i wouldn't think that you'd need to reboot. but i don't know. did you compile and install that kernel module? you might need to reboot for that one.
[23:46] <Gnea> I3lade: what is the result of this command:  java -version
[23:46] <josher4> Ill look into it further
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> MAXI-MUM: did you md5 check your cd image as well as check the burned image
[23:46] <rectec794613> hey im trying to go into live mode on the live cd but it wont  load, the orange bar just keeps moving back and forth plz help
[23:46] <MAXI-MUM> ali1234, is  there any thing to do at grub to limit memory detected by ubuntu kernel
[23:46] <MAXI-MUM> ActionParsnip, yes
[23:46] <Gnea> I3lade: well, just the first line
[23:46] <manja> onetinsoldier, I just opened it with GDebi right from firefox
[23:46] <I3lade> Gnea it says java version "1.6.0_07"
[23:46] <onetinsoldier> manja: but you should not need to reboot just because you install a lib
[23:46] <Gnea> I3lade: are you on hardy or intrepid?
[23:46] <I3lade> gnea hardy
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | MAXI-MUM
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> MAXI-MUM: try a few of those
[23:47] <Gnea> I3lade: okay, open up firefox now and go to  about:plugins
[23:47] <MAXI-MUM> Gnea, hardy
[23:47] <ThatMole> rectec794613: did you check the MD5 sum of the live CD ?
[23:47] <manja> onetinsoldier, that's what I'm thinking, oh well, seems I have to reinstall, because skype under 8.10 doesn't work with my webcam -.-
[23:47] <I3lade> gnea, alright, what am I looking for?
[23:47] <Gnea> MAXI-MUM: ?
[23:47] <rectec794613> how do i do that?
[23:47] <onetinsoldier> manja: install jaunty :-)
[23:47] <Gnea> I3lade: Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_07
[23:47] <I3lade> it's there...
[23:47] <Gnea> good
[23:47] <Chromax> I'm going to buy a ASUS EN9600GT 512MB but I want to be sure it has no driver issues before buying. Does anyone know if this card works fine with all 3D effects and such?
[23:48] <Samuel-NotAFK> ActionParsnip: We did it. :D
[23:48] <manja> onetinsoldier, I'd rather not ^
[23:48] <MAXI-MUM> ActionParsnip, yes
[23:48] <MAXI-MUM> ActionParsnip, thnx
[23:48] <MAXI-MUM> Gnea, ?
[23:48] <I3lade> gnea but where is java located? I thought I needed to install it because I couldn't find it, I have to add a .jar file to the extensions directory
[23:48] <Gnea> I3lade: go to this adddress please:  http://www.weather.gov/sat_tab.php?image=vis
[23:48] <onetinsoldier> manja: ok, i understand. jaunty does work to a large degree, but things in it can get broken
[23:48] <I3lade> gnea ok...
[23:48] <Gnea> I3lade: right now we're testing basic functionality
[23:48] <manja> onetinsoldier, thanks for your time, happy new year btw, cya
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> MAXI-MUM: cool man, wtg
[23:49] <I3lade> it seems to work
[23:49] <onetinsoldier> manja: ok, happy new year to you. good luck

[23:49] <Gnea> I3lade: once it's up, click on the '24 hour loop'
[23:49] <nathanhelp> what is a good open source or free software that can run my windows stuff? (Theres a name, i dont know if its any good. Virtual Box i think it's called. whats it like and is it the right thing i should be looking for?)
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | Chromax
[23:49] <Gnea> I3lade: and then wait... it should load 24 images and loop them
[23:49] <I3lade> gnea, it's loading
[23:49] <nathanhelp> addendum: I'm using ubuntu 8.10
[23:49] <I3lade> gnea and looping
[23:50] <Gnea> I3lade: congrats, your java works in firefox :)
[23:50] <I3lade> gnea, I need to add something to the /ext/ directory in java though
[23:50] <Gnea> I3lade: oh?
[23:50] <Zzeiss> Chromax: if it's an Nvidia card, the answer is probably _no_.  The driver that does most (not all!) things is proprietary and does not do everything that the Windows driver does.  (I've been burned by Nvidia drivers enough to simply run VESA mode now on all nvidia cards)
[23:50] <I3lade> gnea, it's so I can do homework, there's this online program called Aleks, but it needs a special plug in
[23:50] <I3lade> gnea but I have to add it to the java directory

[23:51] <I3lade> gnea no way, lol, thank you. I suppose I should've googled first!
[23:51] <Frijolie> how can you tell what application/process is running your sound in PulseAudio?
[23:51] <zelda> he
[23:51] <zelda> Hey
[23:51] <sfer21> luis__: what are you trying to do? try /join #mint
[23:52] <Frijolie> I can't get sound in anything else because it says that sound is already running on another process

[23:52] <zelda> Frijolie: My Name is Jonas
[23:52] <Gnea> I3lade: :) np just replace the directory with your /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.07/jre/lib/ext/
[23:52] <nathanhelp> Frijolie: do you have the PA applet at the mo?
[23:52] <Frijolie> zelda: i'm One by Metallica
[23:53] <Frijolie> nathanhelp: nope, I don't have that installed
[23:53] <zelda> Frijolie: one the lonliest number.
[23:53] <Chromax> The 9600GT isn't listed there but the 9800 and 8800 are, would it be safer to get one of those instead?
[23:53] <nathanhelp> Frijolie: ok just a mo, i will retrieve the webpage that will help you.
[23:53] <Gnea> Frijolie: please do not use that word in here like that.
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> zelda: its the lonliest number that you'll ever do
[23:54] <Frijolie> nathanhelp: thanks for trying to help

[23:54] <dlstyley> I upgraded to Intrepid and now my USB mouse does not work.  I'm confused about how the new hotplug/xorg/hal stuff works.  How do I troubleshoot?
[23:54] <Frijolie> Gnea: it's filed in the "deal with sometime" folder
