[00:00] <vigognome> Ratso, I have the WUBI installed cause I thought it was helping the distribution and making it easier for peoples to get a stable Linux thingy.
[00:00] <william56> is the 'safe graphics mode' in the ubuntu install cd the equivalent to a non-graphical install?
[00:00] <Iderik> Jordan_U, oh, i thought i had to unpack the iso and then copy it to the usb stick
[00:00] <Flare183> PSPdemon: Remove compiz
[00:00] <niklaus> i've space partition setup. When my memory req are huge , the firefox and other apps becomes slow because of swapping. Later when memory is freed ie (i can see from free -m ) i don't find the applications being moved from swap to memory. This makes many apps slow. How to fix it ?
[00:00] <niklaus> if i do manually swapoff /dev/sda it works
[00:00] <Flare183> niklaus: I don't think that can be done
[00:01] <Iderik> Jordan_U, is it possible to just copy the iso file in to the usb, and then stick it in to my laptop and reboot? ofcourse i set the boot setup to start usb sticks first
[00:01] <storrgie> Flare183: apparently the bcm43xx is considered depreciated because it should be packaged with 8.04 onward.....
[00:01] <niklaus> Flare183, it is pretty stupid :(
[00:01] <niklaus> swapping kills my apps
[00:01] <Jordan_U> Iderik, You do* but you don't unpack the squashfs     *You can also just use the Flash Drive installer on the LiveCD
[00:01] <niklaus> makes it very slow
[00:01] <Flare183> niklaus: Actually its not, its because of your hard drive speed that makes the "swapping" slow
[00:01] <Flare183> storrgie: Thats because you have to use b43
[00:02] <PSPdemon> Flare183, how would i do that if i cant get any farther than login window
[00:02] <PSPdemon> btw im using my old xorg.conf file
[00:02] <PSPdemon> heh
[00:02] <seek_therapy> if i wanted to reinstall Ubuntu and i have two hard drives in my computer... One for windows C: drive and the other Ubuntu E: drive .. would i boot into C or E to install
[00:02] <Flare183> storrgie: I know because I'm using a Broadcom Wireless Card
[00:02] <storrgie> Flare183: im confused...
[00:02] <niklaus> why can't it move apps back to memory when there is free memory ?
[00:02] <Flare183> PSPdemon: You can't
[00:02] <Iderik> Jordan_U, wait a minute, thsi is totally new to me, and you're using a lot of hard words for me to understand, my english ain't the greatest too, sorry :-)
[00:02] <Flare183> storrgie: Its hard to explain
[00:02] <PSPdemon> i just got my b43 firmware to work on 8.10
[00:02] <joejc>  how does sabayon do 3d effects on the cd?
[00:02] <Flare183> PSPdemon: Then can you explain to storrgie how you did that?
[00:03] <miranda_psi> seek_therapy: you would boot from the cd...
[00:03] <Flare183> !otheros
[00:03] <storrgie> Flare183: well, i can read about it but I would like to get this to start pulling updates... is there a quick way to get started
[00:03] <Flare183> oops
[00:03] <PSPdemon> :P
[00:03] <PSPdemon> uh...
[00:03] <eseven73> joejc: try #sabayon
[00:03] <vigognome> seek_therapy: I did it on two drives a while back, one was XP, one was 2k, I put the Ubuntu on the 2k HDD
[00:03] <joejc> but my next question is how o i use that on ubuntu
[00:03] <william56> is there some way i can download a minimal text based install cd and install the components from a graphical install cd?
[00:03] <PSPdemon> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6028741&postcount=4
[00:03] <PSPdemon> thats what i used
[00:03] <PSPdemon> for a offline installation
[00:04] <PSPdemon> worked great for me :)
[00:04] <FloodBot2> PSPdemon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:04] <PSPdemon> O_O
[00:04] <fbc> If I want to permanently switch from ubuntu to xubuntu do I install the XFCE meta package and uninstall the ubuntu-desktop meta package?
[00:04] <jack-desktop> how can i change what my internet is using for wireless? i have a pci card and a usb adapter and i want to use the usb
[00:04] <seek_therapy> I know that but would i install the grub onto the C drive
[00:04] <Jordan_U> Iderik, The important thing to know is that you don't need to manually install to a flash drive, there are utilities to do it automatically for windows and there is even one available from the system menu when you are booted from the liveCD. You don't need to know this but you don't "unpack" the part of the CD that is actually compressed, which is called the squashfs
[00:04] <Flare183> william56: Not really
[00:05] <seek_therapy> because if i do this wrong i will get a grub error
[00:05] <Flare183> !alternate | william56 (Try this)
[00:05] <william56> ah
[00:05] <Flare183> !enter | PSPdemon
[00:05] <william56> !minimal
[00:05] <vigognome> seek_therapy: They both have boot.ini''s should work fine, I know mine did.
[00:06] <IceBall> does anyone know if nvidia 8800Gt's are supported fully now?

[00:06] <PSPdemon> Flare183, i found a solution to the 845G problem... thanks! :)
[00:07] <fbc> If I want to permanently switch from ubuntu to xubuntu do I install the XFCE meta package and uninstall the ubuntu-desktop meta package?
[00:07] <lacita> Crayboff: sorry about that, internt died
[00:07] <jack-desktop> how can i change what my internet is using for wireless? i have a pci card and a usb adapter and i want to use the usb

[00:08] <FireStorm> also the installer doesnt work
[00:09] <Jack_Sparrow> nownot, an extended partition cant be mounted, it is a placeholder for logical partitions
[00:09] <FireStorm> i assume its a problem with xp, what do i need for the installer to work
[00:09] <Flare183> FireStorm: Are you talking about using Wubi?
[00:09] <FireStorm> uhh
[00:09] <Flare183> !wubi | FireStorm
[00:09] <FireStorm> yes
[00:09] <Jack_Sparrow> nownot, if you pastebin your sudo fdisk -l output we can help you easier

[00:10] <Flare183> FireStorm: And you want to get rid of Windows? OR do you want to dual boot?
[00:10] <genii> bebe: lspci | grep VGA                        will usually tell you the make and model
[00:10] <Flare183> bebe: open a terminal and type in lspci

[00:11] <bebe> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. Chrome9 HC IGP (rev 01)
[00:11] <lacita> Crayboff: ok, you need to manually edit windows boot.ini

[00:12] <genii> bebe: The UniChrome cards are problemmatic

[00:13] <jack-desktop> how can i change what my internet is using for wireless? i have a pci card and a usb adapter and i want to use the usb
[00:13] <BeBeLuShuL> so
[00:13] <nownot> Jack_Sparrow: but when i do vi menu.lst the file doesnt exist
[00:13] <usr13>   F Do you have kernel sources?
[00:13] <F> usr13: i have no idea.
[00:13] <BeBeLuShuL> the chrome have problems ?
[00:13] <Flare183> jack-desktop: You should be able to use ifconfig to do that
[00:13] <F> $ ls
[00:13] <F> linux-headers-2.6.27-7  linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic  linux-headers-2.6.27-9  linux-headers-2.6.27-9-generic
[00:13] <F> that is what I have in /usr/src.
[00:13] <Flare183> !paste | F
[00:13] <lacita> Crayboff: bad news, in wubi, boot.ini is missing. This is a little out of my league

[00:19] <Dracie_> mount -a
[00:19] <Jordan_U> Iderik, Using unetbootin?
[00:19] <Dracie_> bartek, do mount -a
[00:19] <Dracie_> make sure the proper file system modules are loaded too
[00:19] <bartek> great thanks!
[00:19] <Dracie_> no problem
[00:20] <genii> BeBeLuShuL: The openchrome driver is the one which should work. The fallback would be vesa
[00:20] <Iderik> Jordan_U, nope, is it something for me to make live usb sticks with iso?
[00:20] <Jordan_U> Iderik, Yes http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[00:21] <_Bart_> Hi can someone help me with this, I do the command: sudo setkeycodes e008 225     and then when I press that key once the action is looped
[00:21] <Iderik> Jordan_U, thank you so much, i'll try that right away
[00:21] <_Bart_> It is doing it over and over again block other input
[00:21] <BeBeLuShuL> genii,  those drivers are installed
[00:21] <Jordan_U> Iderik, np
[00:21] <BeBeLuShuL> but i can`t use compiz fusion
[00:21] <danny> iderik: i use that,  it's excellent
[00:21] <Dracie_> opencrome doesn't have 3d fx as far as i know
[00:21] <BeBeLuShuL> says my driver card doesen`t support :/

[00:22] <BeBeLuShuL> hmm ?
[00:22] <BeBeLuShuL> how to check that miranda ?
[00:22] <Dracie_> BeBeLuShuL, no problem, its a caveat of the openchrome project - it isn't finished
[00:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware
[00:22] <miranda_psi> BeBeLuShuL: you can see whatsin it by: vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:23] <genii> BeBeLuShuL: Thats correct, openchrome is problemmatic with compiz. I do not know of anyone who has yet gotten them working together
[00:23] <Dracie_> BeBeLuShuL, go into terminal do this:  cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
[00:23] <miranda_psi> BeBeLUShuL: the find your monitor section and check what driver its set to use

[00:26] <miranda_psi> BeBeLUShuL: what type of video card are you using?
[00:32] <miranda_psi> BeBeLuShuL: do you know the name of the driver for the card?

[00:33] <miranda_psi> genii: ok thanks

[00:47] <JonnyDY2J> hi guys. is it possible to access Ubuntu server 8.10 from a windows box and access the terminal
[00:47] <fosco_> JonnyDY2J: yes, use putty in windows and make sure ssh server is enabled in ubuntu
[00:47] <ortsvorsteher> JonnyDY2J: sure... you can use putty or an other ssh client
[00:47] <cdbiste> bonjour
[00:48] <Jack_Sparrow> JonnyDY2J, try putty

[01:01] <JonnyDY2J> hi all. i have just installed open ssh server using the sudo apt-get install openssh-server command
[01:02] <mrpinky> hey, i noticed that most applications install themselves to subdirectories of my home directory, but this makes a mess of my home directory :( is this normal? is there some better place to install them?
[01:02] <sketch_> hi
[01:02] <Jordan_U> Crayboff, How did you change the timeout?
[01:02] <DanielEads> cuulu:  System>Preferences>Screen Resolution has configuration options for multiple monitors in Ubuntu 8.10, you could try it with a live CD
[01:02] <mlLK> how do i get quicktime to work in firefox?
[01:02] <sketch_> i lost my original gnome menubar is there a way to restore it ?
[01:02] <mlLK> or which packages do i need?
[01:02] <JonnyDY2J> i was then told to use /ext/init.d/ssh start command but i get and error that says cannot load host key /stc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
[01:03] <mlLK> sketch_: right click and add a new panel
[01:03] <Jordan_U> mrpinky, That's not the application itself but rather its configuration files, and yes it's normal
[01:03] <Crayboff> jordan_U, i unchecked it. I figured that it would mean that there was no timeout and would stay in the boot screen until i chose an os
[01:03] <JonnyDY2J> and also cannot load host key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
[01:03] <JonnyDY2J> can anyone help
[01:03] <sketch_> thanks i did that but i dont like the layout
[01:03] <mlLK> JonnyDY2J: try running sudo
[01:03] <mrpinky> Jordan_U, i found that a lot of applications install themselves there too :( like $HOME/ApplicationName/bin doc etc....
[01:03] <DanielEads> mrpinky: that's normal, as it separates your application data from the actual system files.  the folders are usually named something like .application, and the dot before them allows the system to hide them from your normal view so they don't clutter things up
[01:03] <sketch_> oh ok i can move them nice
[01:03] <mrpinky> Jordan_U, or more specifically, where should i install application binaries, docs etc?
[01:03] <kurrata> sketch_:  right click on it and press move then
[01:04] <Jordan_U> Crayboff, Unchecked it where?
[01:04] <JonnyDY2J> miLK: what do you mean by try running sudo?
[01:04] <Jordan_U> mrpinky, How are you installing applications? You should be using the package manager
[01:04] <mlLK> JonnyDY2J: how are you running the application?
[01:04] <mlLK> JonnyDY2J: or what is the name of the app you're running.
[01:05] <Crayboff> in vista, in like system and maitenence > advanced settings or soemthing like that
[01:05] <Crayboff> jordan_u: in vista, in like system and maitenence > advanced settings or soemthing like that
[01:05] <mrpinky> Jordan_U, in this case they are apps not available through the repositories, so i installed them from binaries i downloaded
[01:05] <Bear7809> hello? anyone in here?
[01:05] <Crayboff> jordan_u: it's where I changed the default operating system
[01:05] <Puerco_> hi there
[01:05] <mrpinky> Jordan_U, each app seems to come with its own installer where i can choose the install location, seem home directory is default, but there must be some better place for it
[01:06] <Bear7809> so i need some help guys.
[01:06] <Puerco_> ok, go
[01:06] <Puerco_> btw, i don't know that much about linux
[01:06] <Puerco_> but i can try to help
[01:06] <DanielEads> bear7809: just ask, there's lots going on
[01:06] <Coded1> I have a program that I need run for each user(non root) but it needs root privileges to run how do I go about doing this?
[01:06] <Puerco_> no se
[01:07] <Bear7809> I just installed ubuntu on this compy. I think its having a problem with my ATI AIW card. because at my parents house i have an Nvidia card and it works just fine. Basically When i get to the splash screen the monitor receives no signal.
[01:07] <Puerco_> hmm
[01:07] <DanielEads> bear7809: yeah, that's an issue.  do you know the exact model of the graphics card?
[01:07] <BeachSide> hey, i have a friend wants to try ubuntu. I've been converted for 2 years now and only used Livecds. i've found wubi.exe is that the same thing or what?
[01:07] <Arney> everyone join Revolution TT and join the IRC channel (over 5000 people on the channel), if your on when the peak amoun tof users is recorded you win 30gb upload credits http://www.revolutiontt.net/
[01:07] <Bear7809> let me get it for you
[01:07] <Puerco_> i'll let daniel take this one
[01:07] <JonnyDY2J> mlLK: i am runing ubuntu 8.10 server. I want to be able to access the terminal from a windows box so was told to install open ssh server by using the command sudo apt-get install openssh-server. once this was finished i was to to use the command /ect/init.d/ssh start. when i do this it says it cannot find the ssh_host_rsa_key or the ssh_host_dsa_key both located in /etc/ssh/
[01:07] <Puerco_> bye
[01:08] <Dracie_> well an update on the protocol handlers - i guess telnet doesn't work when trying to call a terminal program
[01:08] <DanielEads> beachside: wubi isn't an installer disk, it installs ubuntu like a windows application and then lets you dual-boot
[01:08] <Dracie_> i'm guessing for security reasons
[01:08] <mib_vfkcja> beachside: just give him a LiveCD :)
[01:08] <Bear7809> ATI 100-714116 Radeon 9600 128MB 128-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X All-in-Wonder Video Card
[01:08] <BeachSide> ok thanks
[01:08] <Jack_Sparrow> BeachSide, I wont use nor recommend wubi
[01:09] <Bear7809> thats the card
[01:09] <Jason_WT> for some reason, i installed he vbox adons in ubuntu, but i restared and now they are gone
[01:09] <Jason_WT> any suggestions?
[01:09] <Crayboff> beachside, i would recommend wubi if you don't want to mess with partitioning
[01:09] <oerter> I'm running 6.10 on a Dell Dimension 2400. Whenever I try to update to the next version or download apps it either tells me it could not download all repository indexes or that the server is down. How can I fix this?
[01:09] <Bear7809> I know ubuntu has issues with ATI, I also heard that it could be that the splash screen just doesnt follow through with my resolution.
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> BeachSide, Please read what wubi is and how it differs from a real install and how you might be risking your windows partition in the process
[01:10] <Jordan_U> oerter, 6.10 is no longer supported
[01:10] <DanielEads> bear7809: yeah, i had similar issues the other day with a xabre card; it worked when i used a CRT but not an LCD; i ended up just swapping the card out for an nvidia one
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> oerter, try  sudo do-release-upgrade
[01:11] <Bear7809> right well, lets just say im real broke cant afford a new card.
[01:11] <Bear7809> so what should i do?
[01:11] <rww> oerter: Edgy/6.10 isn't supported any more, and its repository was removed quite some time ago. The upgrade path from 6.10 to a supported version is rather tedious, so you might want to consider grabbing an 8.04 or 8.10 CD and reinstalling.
[01:11] <DanielEads> have you tried a different monitor?
[01:11] <Jordan_U> Jack_Sparrow, Would you really be risking your windows partition any more than normally? I thought it was only a great risk to the Ubuntu image in a power failure, or do you not reccomend ntfs-3g at all?
[01:11] <Bear7809> could it really be the monitor thats the problem and not the card?
[01:11] <WebcamWonder> Guys, weird problem. While doing aptitude update, I am getting Error 400 URI Failure Message. I am assuming one of my repositories is failing, any ideas how to see which one?
[01:12] <oerter> ok thanks i'll try that
[01:12] <Bear7809> if i prett ctrl+alt+f1 i get the command line
[01:12] <Bear7809> to long in
[01:12] <Bear7809> the monitor comes back on
[01:12] <ethan> whast the command to veiw the amount of space left and amount being used for ubuntu?
[01:12] <DanielEads> bear8709: it's most likely the card then
[01:12] <\kira> ethan: sudo fdisk -l?
[01:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Jordan_U, I have no problem with ntfs-3g..  I wont let ubuntu write to my OS partition, any others.. ok.. just not my installed os partition
[01:13] <Falling> ex-chat
[01:13] <kurrata> ethan:  df -h
[01:13] <DanielEads> bear8709: trying a different display driver might help, lemmie see if i can pull up a link for some documentation on that
[01:13] <WebcamWonder> Never mind, found the culprit. Playdeb!
[01:13] <Bear7809> i might have to update the display driver while im running ubuntu though
[01:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Jordan_U, In a power failure situation, you risk more than just the wubi install
[01:13] <Bear7809> im not so good with all the commadn line stuff but i think i might have to
[01:14] <Jordan_U> Jack_Sparrow, Why more so than with a power failure when booted into windows, or when using ntfs-3g normally?
[01:14] <DanielEads> bear7809: give this a go: sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[01:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Jordan_U, Read up on wubi.  I personally feel it is ok for a test drive. but nothing more.. Just my opinion
[01:16] <cdg52> Hey, has anyone had any issues with mhddfs and samba?
[01:17] <Jordan_U> Crayboff, Can you join ##windows ?
[01:17] <lacita> hello?
[01:17] <Bear7809> ok so you think that will work
[01:17] <Bear7809> what does that command do exactly?
[01:17] <konzept> Question: Im installing ubuntu on a windows box, im removing windows completely, in the install there is an option for manual partitions, i have a 100 gb partition i would like to leave unformatted its an ntfs filesystem with my music on it, i want to use ubuntu on the rest of the disk, im curious if my settings are correct, it says: /dev/sda1/ ext3 mountpoint = /, however when i press continue it asks about swap space, i have 8mbs unallo
[01:17] <konzept> cated
[01:17] <Crayboff> jordan_U, do you mean /join #windows? or is it on a different server?
[01:17] <storm-zen> what is the channel for ubuntu sound help?
[01:18] <DanielEads> bear7809: that installs the proprietary ati driver
[01:18] <Crayboff> jordan_u, figured it out
[01:18] <Jack_Sparrow> storm-zen, #alsa  or #pulse-audio
[01:18] <storm-zen> Jack_Sparrow: No, the one for ubuntu.
[01:18] <Bear7809> alright
[01:18] <ihcus> hello guys i am installing an oracle  .deb setup file...it says dkpg command not found ...please help
[01:18] <Bear7809> so im going to get to the splash screen
[01:18] <Bear7809> monitor is going to go out of signal
[01:19] <Bear7809> im going to then ctrl atl f1 and stuff
[01:19] <Bear7809> log in
[01:19] <DanielEads> yep
[01:19] <mib_vfkcja> hello lacita
[01:19] <Bear7809> and run that command
[01:19] <DanielEads> yes
[01:19] <Jack_Sparrow> storm-zen, right..  alsa or pulse depending on what you are using
[01:19] <DanielEads> then you might need to restart
[01:19] <\kira> konzept: swap space isnt that nessesary. Swap space is harddrive space that acts like ram. Its much slower than ram, but is used is all the ram is used. I have 2 gigs of ram, and I never use more than 20 megs of ram.
[01:19] <storm-zen> Jack_Sparrow: The last time I was here and was having issues, someone told me to go to #ubuntu-sound... something... and they were able to fix my problem.
[01:20] <Jack_Sparrow> storm-zen, news to me.. let me know if you find it
[01:20] <storm-zen> ok.
[01:20] <konzept> kira thanks, will my ntfs filesystem be useable in ubuntu its just music files
[01:20] <Bear7809> ill be back
[01:20] <ihcus> guys please help me ...i am trying to install oracle and it is giving me an error for the command dkpg -i
[01:20] <Bear7809> thanks daniel
[01:20] <DanielEads> no problem, lemmie know if it helps
[01:21] <\kira> konzept: I am pretty sure ubuntu can read ntfs, it doesnt matter what is on the partition, though. Im not sure about how well ntfs is supported, so you might want to ask someone else or google it
[01:21] <WebcamWonder> \kira: Pretty well supported with the latest ntfs-3g
[01:21] <Jack_Sparrow> konzept, ntfs wil work fine..
[01:21] <konzept> \kira thanks for the help, its installing now so
[01:21] <mib_vfkcja> konzept: ntfs reading is fine.  writing to ntfs sometimes requires permissions adjustments
[01:22] <\kira> konzept: no problem, good luck :)
[01:23] <DanielEads> Is it possible to run migration-assistant on a completed installation?  I'm trying to import some settings to a system that's already up and running
[01:23] <cdg52> Hey, has anyone had any issues with mhddfs and samba?
[01:24] <lepine> Hey people. After logging out, i've lost all usual interaction with the desktop. There's no more background, icons, clicking left of right, doesn't do anything. Although, my panels are there and functionning perfectly.
[01:24] <lepine> can someone point me in the right direction please?
[01:24] <DanielEads> cdg52: try #samba ?
[01:24] <cdg52> will try that thanks
[01:25] <_Bart_> lepine, you mean after logout and login?
[01:25] <lepine> _Bart_: correct
[01:25] <_Bart_> lepine, the desktop is managed by nautilus
[01:26] <_Bart_> is it running?
[01:26] <lepine> i have a file manager running ... i guess that doesnt count ...
[01:26] <lepine> ps'ing
[01:26] <DanielEads> he'd still have a background even if nautilus weren't
[01:26] <MatBoy> _Bart_: it's bedtime already, how late ended sesamstreet ?
[01:26] <itai-michaelson> i'm trying to install phpbb but failed, now apt cannot be used untill the instalation is complete, is there a way to release apt?
[01:26] <_Bart_> MatBoy, How do you know what time it is here
[01:27] <lepine> _Bart_: "nautilus --no-default-window --sm-client-id default2" is all i get
[01:27] <MatBoy> _Bart_: Kinda simple, do a whois and see... versatel.nl ;)
[01:27] <DanielEads> itai-michaelson: yes, i don't know the command offhand, but restarting would probably unlock it
[01:27] <_Bart_> MatBoy, ah right it's 2.27 am ;p
[01:27] <_Bart_> lepine, do killall nautilus and wait
[01:27] <DanielEads> itai-michaelson: dpkg-reconfigure might be it
[01:28] <konzept> question: my installer failed, im curious how i can go about installing ubuntu from iso without burning a cd
[01:28] <Jordan_U> itai-michaelson, Can you patebin the output of "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[01:28] <istvan> is there a reposotory of free trees?
[01:28] <MatBoy> _Bart_: right... I'm waiting for the 6:30 sesamstreet reloaded :P
[01:28] <istvan> i need lots of trees in half an hour
[01:28] <MatBoy> istvan: can be done... where do I need to put them ?
[01:28] <lepine> _Bart_: right on the button! i'm at a loss here ... it happened once ... then rebooted ... which didn't fix the problem. Why would killing it have solved the issue?
[01:28] <istvan> so i need textures an dall
[01:28] <_Bart_> konzept, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[01:28] <tj83> konzept, try the alternate install disk
[01:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !install
[01:29] <itai-michaelson> Jordan_U, dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[01:29] <istvan> HatBoy: box.net in a zip would be fine, or where ever else. I need textures and all please
[01:29] <_Bart_> lepine, ahhh rebooting doesn't work?
[01:29] <TwoD> I have an image of a fat32 filesystem, and it's got 122GB free space. I'd like to shrink that image to close to 0 free space. How?
[01:29] <Jordan_U> itai-michaelson, Do you have apt / dpkg running somewhere else?
[01:29] <lepine> _Bart_: no that was the weird thing ... rebooting didn't do the trick ... killall nautilus did though
[01:29] <SwitchMon44> When I try to start an XFCE session i receive the error shown at http://paste.ubuntu.com/99234/.  I've tried resetting the permissions on /tmp, my home folder, and removing the .iceauthority file.  Any other suggestions?
[01:30] <_Bart_> lepine, that's strange...
[01:30] <itai-michaelson> Jordan_U, no. i tried to install phpbb but it froze in the middle (with apt) so i killed it , now i cannot use apt at all
[01:30] <tj83> TwoD, what do you mean "image" a different partition?
[01:30] <lepine> indeed
[01:30] <MatBoy> istvan_: ow, I htought real trees
[01:30] <Jack_Sparrow> SwitchMon44, explain to people what all you have done prior to the pwoblem.  What changes to sources or unsupported apps installed etc
[01:30] <itai-michaelson> Jordan_U, when i ps aux | grep apt i get : root     16365  0.0  2.1  36720 22552 ?        Sl   08:19   0:03 aptitude install phpbb2-conf-mysql
[01:31] <TwoD> tj83, I used ddrescue to create an image of a damaged filesystem. Now I'm migrating the files out of the image, but I need to shrink the wasted space in it to leave room for more files outside it.
[01:31] <SwitchMon44> It is a fresh install of XFCE on top of eeebuntu.
[01:31] <droopsta915> what program can i use to make an mp3 disc?
[01:31] <william56> uhh, i just opened a folder to an automatically mounted cdrom drive that had been unmounted and is now being erased, and my file browser windows locked up. how can i unlock them without waiting for the cd to be erased, or just restart the whole process??
[01:31] <Jordan_U> itai-michaelson, Ok, find out where you have aptitude open and close it ( if you can't find it kill it )
[01:32] <tj83> TwoD, oh, i understand now, honest don't know...  i think it had to be specified when you created the image
[01:32] <Jack_Sparrow> droopsta915, k3b with the mp3 addon
[01:32] <Jordan_U> itai-michaelson, But it might be waiting for user input
[01:32] <TwoD> tj83, I could not specify any options for the output image with ddrescue...
[01:32] <_Bart_> MatBoy, MatBoy@wiljewelwetenhe.xs4all.nl lol
[01:33] <droopsta915> Jack_Sparrow: how I can get the mp3 addon?
[01:33] <MatBoy> _Bart_: yes, hehe, wannaknow was used already ;)
[01:33] <\kira> My ubuntu server is slow beyond belief. I run a game server on there, and I have no problems at all connecting and playing on the game server. The lag is not above normal, and it works fine. But, if I try to ssh or nmap the server. It takes forever. Most of the time, A ssh connection will just cause the server to wait for about 5 mins then close the connection with me. The odd time it does prompt me for my password I can log in, but every key stroke I type tak
[01:33] <\kira> es a little while to show up. My local computer isnt slowing at all. Whats going on?
[01:33] <Jack_Sparrow> droopsta915, should be in there .. search in synaptic
[01:33] <tj83> TwoD, will have to google or hope that someone else knows, i am curious also, when i had that issue i used the "dd" not "ddrescue"
[01:33] <Iderik> any recommendation for my mount point in installing ubuntu? /,/boot,/tmp,/src,/usr,/home and such, please help me, i'm new to this
[01:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !find k3b
[01:34] <konzept> on new install should mount point be root?
[01:34] <Jack_Sparrow> konzept, yes
[01:34] <tj83> Iderik, "/"
[01:34] <konzept> thanks
[01:34] <_Bart_> MatBoy, but you're right it's bedtijd
[01:34] <TwoD> tj83, I chose ddrescue since it would just write zeroes when data could not be read, and log unreadable sectors to a file to retry later
[01:35] <Kaga> i need to remove pulsesound but sudo apt-get purge pulsesound wants to remove ubuntu-desktop too?
[01:35] <MatBoy> _Bart_: I'm just awake, I slept about 3 hours this evening
[01:35] <borgista> Kaga: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-pacakge.
[01:35] <Kaga> is ubuntu-desktop a meta package or is there a way to not remove it with pulsesound?
[01:35] <DanielEads> kaga: ubuntu-desktop is meta
[01:36] <MatBoy> _Bart_: I'm php-ing... so... addicted
[01:36] <marcrosoft> ok, so I am compiling a custom kernel using debian's make-kpkg, what happens when there is an upgrade to the kernel passed down by ubuntu?
[01:36] <SwitchMon44> I'm trying to run a fresh install of XFCE from eeebuntu on an eeepc.  When I start the session I receive the error message shown at http://paste.ubuntu.com/99234/ and then the session quits.
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !eee
[01:36] <_Bart_> MatBoy, hehe ok for me it's time to go to bed.... right now ;p

[01:37] <dft> MatBoy: any special needs?
[01:37] <_Bart_> :P bye everyone
[01:37] <Bear7809> yo
[01:38] <MatBoy> dft: Jack_Sparrow just posted
[01:38] <MatBoy> _Bart_: sleep well
[01:38] <php_wizardry> can someone tell me how I can enable my wifi? I did "lsusb" and it list a belkin device, which is my wifi adapter
[01:38] <dft> MatBoy, Jack_Sparrow ty
[01:38] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[01:38] <Bear7809> alright guys
[01:38] <Bear7809> i got a problem
[01:38] <mib_vfkcja> buh bye bart
[01:38] <MatBoy> Jack_Sparrow: we can make a problem out of it ;) :P
[01:38] <joejc> why cant you install rpms on ubuntu?
[01:38] <DanielEads> bear7809: still not working?
[01:38] <Bear7809> nope
[01:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !rpm
[01:38] <MatBoy> joejc: you need to alien them
[01:39] <tj83> !alien
[01:39] <Bear7809> i tried loging in normaly but just guessing what the login screen was doing
[01:39] <tj83> :(
[01:39] <MatBoy> hehe
[01:39] <exodus_ms> is there a command I can use to retrieve a list of instances I have used wget in the terminal. I'm having a hard time remembering some of the parameters I use with wget and would like to retrieve a history
[01:39] <joejc> i just want to know why you cant
[01:39] <Iderik> tj83, thanks a lot! it does recommend me to make a swap partion, how big should it be? i'm installing ubuntu from live usb stick
[01:39] <Jack_Sparrow> joejc, Really, really not advised that you use alien for rpms
[01:39] <Dracie_> the new 8.10 thingy in the corner is lovely
[01:39] <MatBoy> joejc: because RPM's are not friendly ;(
[01:39] <tj83> Iderik, how much RAM do you have?
[01:39] <Jack_Sparrow> joejc, If you need it that bad, compile it yourself
[01:39] <rww> joejc: because Ubuntu uses apt, not rpm. They're different, incompatible package management systems.
[01:39] <php_wizardry> when "lsusb" list a device, does that mean the driver for the device has been installed for it?
[01:40] <mib_vfkcja> joejc: because even redhat/suse/etc. use YUM now for different handling of RPM repositories
[01:40] <Iderik> 2gb ram with 2 ghz 1 core on a compaq laptop
[01:40] <Iderik> tj83
[01:40] <rww> php_wizardry: not necessarily, no.
[01:40] <Jordan_U> exodus_ms, history | grep wget
[01:40] <MatBoy> Iderik: twice mem, but that is not needed anymore... max 2 GB, 1 GB is fine most of the time
[01:40] <joejc> could i install what rpms need to work?
[01:40] <MatBoy> Iderik: make a 2GB
[01:40] <tj83> Iderik, someone correct me if i am wrong... but i think the rule of thumb is 1.5-2 X Ram space
[01:40] <sudobash> so I solved my dilema of how to CHKDSK /R a dual booted partition from Ubuntu and 3000 miles away... Run your partition in VM and mount a windows iso that has recovery console...
[01:40] <Bear7809> so i logged in and nothing showed up still
[01:40] <MatBoy> Iderik: workstation ?
[01:40] <exodus_ms> Jordan_U: thank you
[01:40] <Jack_Sparrow> joejc, Really, really not advised that you use alien for rpms
[01:40] <sysdoc> tj83, go with 2x
[01:40] <Jordan_U> exodus_ms, np
[01:40] <MatBoy> sysdoc: no !! no 4GB
[01:40] <mib_vfkcja> joejc: no - u need to find your packages with synaptic
[01:40] <MatBoy> 2GB is max !!
[01:40] <Iderik> MatBoy, what do you mean with workstation? sorry for my bad english :-)
[01:40] <MatBoy> !swap
[01:41] <MatBoy> Iderik: PC you work on
[01:41] <php_wizardry> how can you check if a driver is installed for a device?
[01:41] <DanielEads> bear7809: i'm checking some documentation, might be a minute or two
[01:41] <MatBoy> php_wizardry: see if it works ?
[01:42] <php_wizardry> MatBoy: Not sure how to get my wifi device working
[01:42] <Iderik> MatBoy, it's a laptop for studies such as programming and documentation, probly some gaming too (2d mmorpgs and fps)
[01:42] <tj83> php_wizardry, most are probably avoiding your issue cause belkin tends to be rather hard to get working if not impossible sometimes :(
[01:42] <MatBoy> php_wizardry: check if the mod is loaded
[01:42] <php_wizardry> mod?
[01:42] <MatBoy> Iderik: 2GB is perfect
[01:42] <MatBoy> php_wizardry: module
[01:42] <Iderik> MatBoy, thank you so much!
[01:42] <Iderik> tj83, thanks again
[01:42] <tj83> php_wizardry, you can use "sudo lshw" to see what modules are loaded for given hardware
[01:42] <php_wizardry> MatBoy: not sure what you mean, by module
[01:43] <MatBoy> Iderik: I will give you my paypal acount, sent you the bill of $100,- ok ?? :P
[01:43] <MatBoy> !mod
[01:43] <MatBoy> !module
[01:43] <MatBoy> mhh
[01:43] <Iderik> MatBoy, of course! :-P
[01:43] <MatBoy> Iderik: ok, we buy beer with it, you can drink it in ##ubuntu-offtopic
[01:43] <MatBoy> ;)
[01:43] <Dracie_> hi how do i disable snapping to otherwindows in metacity
[01:44] <MatBoy> !modprobe
[01:44] <Iderik> MatBoy, hehe, sounds like a great idea
[01:44] <MatBoy> mhh
[01:44] <\kira> Iderik: you would want the "/", most likely
[01:44] <MatBoy> Iderik: I'm full of great ideas... that what the woman say :P

[01:45] <MatBoy> s3a: depends on your sipgateway
[01:45] <s3a> MatBoy, is ekiga like skype?
[01:45] <mib_vfkcja> ekiga is free from ekiga user to ekiga user
[01:45] <s3a> MatBoy, bcuz i like skype but it has bugs and it isn't open source
[01:46] <MatBoy> s3a: uhm... not really
[01:46] <sysdoc> MatBoy, From the page that ubottu: If you have n MB of RAM, you need between n and 2*n MB of swap.
[01:46] <MatBoy> sysdoc: yes, but with a max of 2GB
[01:46] <MatBoy> above it it's not needed
[01:46] <s3a> MatBoy, i dont wanna call phones, i wanna call my dad long distance but on internet skype-style, would that be free money wise?
[01:46] <craigbass1976> I'm using cheese to grab shots from a webcam.  What do I use to turn those into a stop motion animation?
[01:46] <mn> I go with .5 n MB of RAM
[01:46] <MatBoy> s3a: use skype
[01:47] <s3a> MatBoy, it has a bug in intrepid which doesnt allow me to use video
[01:47] <DanielEads> bear7809: this page will most likely help you

[01:47] <MatBoy> sysdoc: Experience ;)
[01:47] <DanielEads> MatBoy: it works for me

It didn't go when I removed the package. Can I just delete the user?

[02:04] <ubuntu> Hello to everybody. I'm new in xubuntu and also in linux enviroments. I'm having problems with the installation when the set up program tells me to chose wich partition I want to install xubuntu I chose manual and in the next step one of the partitons that is empty. But the set up program shows me an error message "the main file system is not defined, correct this from the partition menu". How can I do that and what exactly I must
[02:04] <ubuntu>  do?
[02:04] <sysdoc> yaris123456789, from the cli, man wget
[02:05] <efeXor> [C#] Anyone know how to like reverse the order of words in a string?
[02:05] <Kaldor>  Is anyone able to help me with downgrading Wine? After Update manager updated Wine to version 1.1.12, it stopped working. What can I do?
[02:05] <efeXor> Like "Hey whats up" becomes "up hey whats"
[02:05] <tj83> yaris123456789, i think the option " -x,  --force-directories        force creation of directories." i dunno
[02:05] <yaris123456789> tj83: okay
[02:05] <ethan> anyone here can you please help meeeeeeeeeeeee
[02:05] <eseven73> efeXor: try 'apt-cache search scramble'
[02:05] <jinja-sheep> ubuntu:  Since you're new to noth xubuntu and linux environments, I only would suggest you to let the partition editor handling it rather than having you configuring manually.
[02:06] <efeXor> I mean like , code wise
[02:06] <efeXor> in C#
[02:06] <eseven73> ah
[02:06] <eseven73> no clue
[02:06] <efeXor> :(
[02:06] <ethan> anyoneeeeeeeeee?
[02:06] <eseven73> efeXor: maybe Eclipse has it?
[02:06] <tj83> ethan, have you tried the noapic boot option? cant say it "will" work but might
[02:06] <efeXor> Nope :S
[02:06] <saulus> When using dnsmasq with mac adresses it is possible for unknown clients to get an ip adress over dhcp. How can i prevent that?
[02:06] <eseven73> or a Eclipse plugin maybe
[02:06] <efeXor> Hmm
[02:07] <ethan> tj83: do what?
[02:07] <efeXor> It's gotta be something with the string library :(
[02:07] <mn> ethan: what's the problem
[02:07] <jinja-sheep> efeXor:  Try google.
[02:07] <ubuntu> but I think that that the computer automatically install in the same partition than win xp and doesn't it be a problem?
[02:07] <crdlb> efeXor: split it into a list, reverse the list, and join the list would be the general solution, but you should probably find a C# channel
[02:07] <daw> i am having a continuing problem with WINE and WOW. It installed and starts just fine, But I have black boxes over the text entry fields and other places. It runs fine in d3d, but very slow. but in openGL it's unworkable. It's an intel laptop with an intel video chip running ubuntu intrepid  -- #winehq folks have had no ideas to fix it the last few times i've asked
[02:07] <ethan> mn: [ 120.259296] Bug: soft lock up - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [mount.ntfs:2149]...................i get this error message when logging on
[02:07] <ethan> mn: when booting up
[02:08] <jinja-sheep> Loop at the length of the string.  Make a new temp string.  Assist array or string.charAt().  Something similar.
[02:08] <efeXor> thanks :D
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> daw, ask in #winehq
[02:08] <WastePotato> How can I change which video driver I'm using? I downloaded and installed the fglrx driver to see if there would be a difference in performance, but it well, sucks. How do I change back to the previous driver (Which I can only assume was either the radeonhd or the -ati)?
[02:08] <tj83> ethan, when you boot try pressing "esc" to get grub, then the current kernel, then "e" to edit then edit the kernel line and append "noapic" w/out quote
[02:08] <n0c> oik
[02:08] <mn> ethan: is your linux on an ext* partition?
[02:09] <daw> Jack_Sparrow -- i have, but they've run out of ideas as to what is wrong. They've decided i need latest video drivers, i have the ones that came with intrepid and whatever updates have been added
[02:09] <saulus> dnsmasq gives the option "read-ethers" but that only works with an ip range. But then it works as a dhcp server for ALL request, the unknown as well. Is there a way to prevent unknown users getting ip adresses with dnsmasq or do i have to install a bind server?
[02:09] <ethan> mn: i have 2 partitions windows xp and ubuntu and i had windows before ubuntu
[02:09] <jinja-sheep> ubuntu:  Assuming you did made a backup, partition editor will display all partitions (If your Windows partition is there, or you set up the whole partition for Windows.
[02:09] <mn> ethan: it is a bug.  we are going to have to use the workaround
[02:10] <sysdoc> ubuntu, see pm

[02:12] <eseven73> Paradoxx: hmm does dpkg -l *flash* report anything now?
[02:12] <crdlb> daw: well, you don't want any compositor running; it should be easy to determine if there is one running by moving a window around and seeing if the windows below it have to redraw
[02:12] <Guest84797> when I try to update my system I get  a blockage
[02:12] <Guest84797> someone can help?
[02:12] <usr13> HellFire-Au: Are you sure the dhcp server is communicating over the proper interface?
[02:13] <saulus> help please. My network is insecure!
[02:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest84797, Which version are you running now
[02:13] <Guest84797> thx Jack

[02:13] <eseven73> Paradoxx: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-975300.html
[02:13] <daw> crdlb i don' know what a compositor is. I have the stock ununtu intrepid install, with WINE adn a few other applications (which i'm not running with WINE + WOW) and the desktop settings set as low as possible
[02:14] <daw> i can't quite tell if things are redrawing, but i'm not running many apps
[02:14] <usr13> HellFire-Au: You may also have too short of a fuse on the client. (Takes a little longer to get dhcp info over a wireless LAN).
[02:14] <konzept> computer specs are intel q6600 4gb ddr2 gskill ram nvidia 8800 gts, should i go 64bit or 32bit

[02:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest84797, Can you pastebin the error

[02:15] <usr13> HellFire-Au: Where is the wifi-ethernet bridge?  (.. in relation to the Wireless AP).
[02:16] <Raylz> can anyone confirm me, that inserting spaces instead of tabs doesnt work in geany?
[02:16] <Mass[UB]> Is it true that most people still use Ubuntu 8.04 instead of 8.10 ?
[02:16] <usr13> HellFire-Au: Or how is it connected  to the AP.
[02:16] <jinja-sheep> Mass[UB]:  Yes, that's true.
[02:16] <HellFire-Au> usr13: The problems start when i enable a network bridge. My LAN looks like: Modem/router --wireless-- (ra0) mythbuntu htpc (eth0) --ethernet-- xbox360
[02:16] <eseven73> !info geany
[02:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Mass[UB], no
[02:16] <HellFire-Au> usr13: So as you can see im trying to bridge the interfaces on the linux box
[02:16] <Mass[UB]> I've read it on some website, don't quite remember the reason for it, 8.10 isn't as stable or something?
[02:17] <lacita> I need some help compiling ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.18a.tar.bz2
[02:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Mass[UB], this is the support channel.. if you want discussion, there are other channels
[02:17] <DJCiP> so... the perl binaries in ubuntu don't have the core module GDBM_File compiled in it by default - is there someone i could talk to about fixing that ?

[02:18] <HellFire-Au> usr13: I'm using a wireless usb adapter on the linux box
[02:18] <exodus_ms> looking for linux howto's (text files preferably) that are a little easier to understand than what is found in the man pages and doc-base
[02:18] <jinja-sheep> Mass[UB] -- Nothing is ever stable.  There are always questionable items + packages.  If you want to go for Ubuntu 8.04 or Ubuntu 8.10, that's fine.
[02:18] <Guest84797> jack_Sparrow .... do you think I shd update to 8.10 and may be it solves the problem?
[02:18] <dmsuperman> I can't start X, using nvidia-glx-177. /var/log/Xorg.0.log says Fatal error, no screens found
[02:18] <Ty> Masss [UB]. No it is not as stable, i have a laptop that is 08 model, and all prev. verisions of ubuntu worked, but 8.10 did not!
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest84797, You could dual or tripple   boot or run live for testing it
[02:18] <saulus> When using dnsmasq with mac adresses it is possible for unknown clients to get an ip adress over dhcp. How can i prevent that?
[02:19] <dmsuperman> I couldn't get it at all, so I tried installing nvidia-glx-177 and that doens't fix it
[02:19] <usr13> HellFire-Au: So, you have connection to the internet via the wireless USB device?
[02:19] <Raylz> eseven73: im using the package from jaunty
[02:19] <eseven73> Raylz: i just wanted to know what it was :)
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> dmsuperman, Did you see how I got my 6600 oc to work
[02:19] <HellFire-Au> usr13: Yes
[02:19] <Raylz> eseven73: haha
[02:19] <dmsuperman> Jack_Sparrow: No, what'd you do?
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> dmsuperman, one sec
[02:19] <nikouts20> kanas ellhnas

[02:20] <HellFire-Au> usr13: Not sure what you mean, but it connects to my wlan and gains internet access through there. The ethernet NIC is connected to my xbox 360 (which i need to enable net access)

[02:21] <Mallen__> Hey can anyone help me set up !VNC on a Ubuntu and XP machine??
[02:21] <Guest84797> My applications management aplication after I touch verify continues running indefenitely, but does nothing
[02:21] <mishkins\> Mass[UB]: did you forrward the port needed for the irc server?
[02:21] <eseven73> Mass[UB]: 6660-6667 is IRC ports according to Wikipedia
[02:22] <HellFire-Au> usr13: Problems start when i use brctl to bridge ra0 and eth0. No connectivity and no dhcp working, i don't think the signal even gets to the router as nothing shows up in the router config half of the time
[02:22] <usr13> So the eithernet NIC is connected directly to the xbox?
[02:22] <mib_cwan4e> bye
[02:22] <eseven73> Mass[UB]: non encrypted ports that is
[02:22] <mishkins\> Mass[UB]: because if you have a router of any kind or even a software firewall it won't respond to your trying to connect
[02:22] <HellFire-Au> usr13: I have used firestarter and that has worked but it doesn't allow a transparent connection to my router (ie there is only 1 ip for both the htpc and 360, i need 1 ip for each)
[02:22] <donavan> anyone know of an IRC channel that deals with CPUs and/or overclocking
[02:23] <Dracie> donavan: whats the issue?
[02:23] <usr13> HellFire-Au: Firestarter should do the job for you.
[02:24] <usr13> HellFire-Au:  But I'm still not understanding how everything is connected.
[02:24] <s3a> donavan, no but maybe cpu frequency scaler can help you?
[02:25] <donavan> well Im trying to find out some info on a laptop I have thats running an athlon xp 2400 ... I want to throw a 3200 in it but the existing processor is mobile unit and I dont know if there will be issues even if I find one thats at the right FSB speed
[02:25] <HellFire-Au> usr13: My home theatre pc is connected to my wireless router/modem via a usb dongle. That provides the internet access. The home theatre pc also has a single ethernet port which is connected directly ethernet to ethernet to my xbox 360
[02:26] <donavan> s3a:  cpu freq scaler?
[02:26] <HellFire-Au> usr13: As i explained firestarter doesn't provide the transparent functionality i need, certain xbox 360 features cannot work because firestarter combines both the htpc and 360 under one ip. I need 2 seperate ip's for each device, i have done this on windows by bridging the interfaces and has worked quite successfully, though when i try on mythbuntu it fails to register an ip

[02:27] <usr13> HellFire-Au: Is it a crossover cable between the PC and xbox?
[02:27] <s3a> donavan, right click on top panel and click add to panel then type cpu
[02:27] <jinja-sheep> thomas:  Because Ubuntu dev believe it's not stable.  You can add repos to install OOo3.
[02:27] <Mass[UB]> I've portforwarded 6667 on my router's and if I run the irc server under windows I can connect to it using the external IP adress, thing is that I am using Ubuntu on VirtualBox and would like to run an irc server from there
[02:28] <Dracie> donavan: what kind of information?
[02:28] <eseven73> Mass[UB]: i think that would require briding

[02:29] <usr13> HellFire-Au: THat may be your problem.  You probably need to use a crossover cable.

[02:30] <thomas> thanks exodus
[02:30] <Rolle> Gsynaptics couldn't initialize.
[02:30] <Rolle> You have to set 'SHMCconfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics

[02:31] <FAJALOU1> So the real issue is the album that I have that is downloaded as WMA's and the songs will crackle. This primarily happens when I switch viewports (using metacity right now), but this doesn't even really matter because it will do it randomly and sporadically also. The most peculiar part of this is that Amarok runs these wma files perfectly. Now I know that they are different engines... but it would be nice to know why these files are ru
[02:31] <usr13> HellFire-Au: If you need dhcp server running, make sure it is configured to communicate [only] over eth0
[02:31] <donavan> dracie: well mainly what the actual difference between the mobile and the desktop model ... is there a xp3200+ mobile or just the desktop version ... I have been googling it but I always get the athlon 64 info
[02:31] <saulus> ~/quit
[02:31] <eseven73> sztomi: i think Unison does that or maybe rsync (the gui for those are unison-gtk and grsync)

[02:33] <sztomi> thanks anyway :)
[02:33] <MatBoy> donavan: moved away from CentOS ?
[02:33] <Dracie> donavan: you need to figure out what socket type it is, and how much power your computer can consume for processor, and if it may fit
[02:33] <dblick> what's the command line utility that can tell me which processes are using a file?
[02:33] <eseven73> Mass[UB]: you could try this in the VM 'ifconfig' and get the ip from that and try to ping it from windows or anywhere really if it pings, then just forward the port for that IP
[02:34] <HellFire-Au> usr13: I don't need a dhcp server running on the actual linux box, both the 360 and the ethernet NIC on the linux box are configured statically and work without a bridge + firestarter. When bridged, the wireless usb dongle fails getting an ip from my router via dhclient
[02:34] <Doc8404> anyone in here know of any free flash editing programs that are good programs not garbage
[02:34] <eseven73> Mass[UB]: so like if the VM ip is 10.*.*.* try forwarding 6667 for that ip

[02:38] <donavan> dracie: also I think the 2400 that I have is the thuroughbred core and the 3200 is the barton
[02:38] <Dracie> that doesn't make a difference
[02:38] <Coded1> if I have a program that I want started at boot time where do I put the entry?

[02:39] <farrioth> Hey, is there any way to set Gnome on another distro up to look like Ubuntu's defaults?
[02:40] <kaneda_> laptop is a hell of a lot hotter than what it was under windows, ubuntu forums is quite useless on this topic
[02:40] <eseven73> Mass[UB]: everyone with vbox has 10.0.2.15, ummm yeah I think its gonna require some sort of Network briding then, have you tried googling for this info yet?
[02:40] <FAJALOU1> So the real issue is the album that I have that is downloaded as WMA's and the songs will crackle. This primarily happens when I switch viewports (using metacity right now), but this doesn't even really matter because it will do it randomly and sporadically also. The most peculiar part of this is that Amarok runs these wma files perfectly. Now I know that they are different engines... but it would be nice to know why these files are ru
[02:40] <daxelrod_> Doc8404: Sure, although it's really intended for debugging rather than creating
[02:42] <agim> what is a good ftp client?
[02:42] <eseven73> filezilla
[02:42] <the_squircle> yep
[02:42] <eseven73> !ftp | but theres many more
[02:42] <eseven73> oops
[02:42] <eseven73> !ftp | agim  try these too:
[02:43] <mishkins\> it bitches about TLS connections in proftpd servers before RC2 and before vsftpd 2.0.7
[02:43] <eseven73> OH ubottu is gone
[02:43] <mishkins\> and won't let you connect
[02:43] <mishkins\> but other than that it's a great multi threaded ftp
[02:43] <eseven73> what happend to ubottu?
[02:44] <EagleScreen> why dkms is not by default in Ubuntu Desktop???
[02:45] <EagleScreen> isn't it useful?
[02:45] <FAJALOU1> Banshee is kind of failing me right now, so I ran back to my old and trusty Amarok. I am trying to set up the keyboard shortcuts with the buttons play/pause, stop, back, forward, but amarok must not recognize these buttons or something because they do not come up when I try to put them in. This works, however, in Banshee, so I am guessing it has something to do with Amarok being KDE. So I was wondering what packages I need to allow thi
[02:45] <jrib> EagleScreen: it is...
[02:45] <agim> i used filezilla on windows but i didn't like it when it would not keep the connection alive
[02:45] <arbir> hello
[02:45] <EagleScreen> oh then.. it is in Ubuntu but not in Kubuntu.. why??
[02:45] <dmsuperman> Jack_Sparrow: Couldn't get it to work
[02:46] <dmsuperman> Jack_Sparrow: Went back to my old hardy install
[02:46] <farrioth> FAJALOU1: Run xev and see whether the buttons are assigned. I made myself an .Xmodmap.
[02:46] <jrib> EagleScreen: or maybe it only gets pulled in when a package needs it, I'm not sure
[02:46] <jrib> EagleScreen: in any case, it's in the repositories
[02:46] <EagleScreen> yes, it is in repo
[02:46] <arbir> i am having configuring libcups -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/99984/
[02:47] <arbir> my upgrade broke in the middle of its process, and now i am facing this
[02:47] <FAJALOU1> farrioth: how so?
[02:48] <farrioth> FAJALOU1: I had to assign values to the keycodes (like "keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev") before I could map them.
[02:49] <EagleScreen> arbir try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[02:49] <FAJALOU1> farrioth:  o nvm
[02:49] <Ian00> ya, so i just did a fresh install, and gnome-terminal won't load. its actually kind of funny. loading from xterm it says: Bus error
[02:49] <arbir> EagleScreen: alright let me try
[02:49] <farrioth> FAJALOU1: Hmm?
[02:49] <FAJALOU1> farrioth:  sounds complicated etc etc.... lol
[02:49] <arbir> EagleScreen: its throwing a super error!
[02:50] <farrioth> FAJALOU1: You just need to make the file and it should be recognised when you log in next. Copy my file and see if it works...
[02:50] <arbir> EagleScreen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/99986/
[02:50] <carandraug> how can I switch windows bootloader order so Ubuntu appears first? (I installed with wubi and I don't know where's the windows equivalent to menu.lst)
[02:50] <FAJALOU1> farrioth:  ok
[02:50] <farrioth> FAJALOU1: http://rafb.net/p/qADuD634.html
[02:51] <FAJALOU1> farrioth:  where should the file be?
[02:51] <daw> is there a supported LISP package?
[02:51] <EagleScreen> arbir what kind of upgrade were you doing?
[02:51] <farrioth> FAJALOU1: .Xmodmap
[02:51] <FAJALOU1> in ~ ?
[02:51] <farrioth> FAJALOU1: Yeah.
[02:52] <arbir> EagleScreen: the usual upgrade..... what ever my auto-updater shows me
[02:52] <mike_> hello, anything think they can help me with a problem?
[02:52] <FAJALOU1> farrioth:  this is for getting it to work with amarok... correct?
[02:52] <lfaraone> How can you mmanage multiple email aliases in evolution under the same acct?
[02:53] <Rolle> carandraug: you should be able to do that in windows
[02:53] <EagleScreen> arbir try sudo aptitude full-upgrade
[02:53] <farrioth> FAJALOU1: Once it's set, you should be able to bind the keys like you normally would.
[02:53] <FAJALOU1> farrioth:  so just hit it, and it would bind in amaroks "Configure Global Shortcuts" ?
[02:53] <Crayboff> jordon_U, thanks so much for your help. got it to work via the command prompt with the recovery thing
[02:54] <metaborn> Can't you create an email alias by creating an .forward file?
[02:54] <carandraug> Rolle: the question is how? Anyne knows? This is a friends computer, I haven't touched windows for a long time
[02:54] <farrioth> FAJALOU1: Hopefully.
[02:54] <daxelrod_> mike_: That's what this channel is for. Just go ahead and ask.
[02:54] <Rolle> carandraug: control panel-system-advance-under startup and recovery click settings
[02:54] <Rolle> should have a default operating system drop down box
[02:54] <carandraug> Rolle: ok. Thanks. I'll try that
[02:55] <Rolle> no prob
[02:55] <mike_> Im having trouble running Steam. Menus run slow, and computer freezes when a game attempts to startup, any suggestions?
[02:55] <EagleScreen> arbir sudo aptitude update; and later sudo aptitude full-upgrade
[02:56] <Rolle> Can anyone recommend an advanced touchpad settings manager for my laptop?
[02:57] <node357> mike_, which games are you trying to play?
[02:57] <arbir> EagleScreen: same errors as before
[02:57] <DClayBuck> Anybody around with any videocard expertise?
[02:57] <FAJALOU> !nyone
[02:58] <tj83> DClayBuck, depends on the card
[02:58] <arbir> how can i list, my hardware profile ? eg , which Display driver, which sound card driver etc etc.
[02:58] <mike_> node357, basically just DoD:S, Audiosurf, and HL2
[02:58] <tj83> DClayBuck, ask the channel your complete question and describe your problem
[02:58] <node357> mike_, try going into properties and set -windowed
[02:58] <fosco_> arbir: install and execute sysinfo
[02:58] <tj83> arbir, sudo lshw
[02:58] <node357> mike_, not sure if it'll work with Audiosurf but it should with Source games
[02:59] <FAJALOU> farrioth:  didn't work.... it came up correctly; like it says XF86Stop etc. but it is not actually stoppin them
[02:59] <arbir> tj83: got lshw ;-) thanks
[03:00] <arbir> fosco_: thanks
[03:00] <EagleScreen> arbir a quick way is using "lspci" command for PCI devices, and "lsusb" for USB devices, but sysinfo is more complete
[03:00] <farrioth> FAJALOU: That's strange... I'm not sure what to do about that, sorry.
[03:00] <Zombie_Gaz> How would I go about making my machine identify itself as a domain that I own (and already works with my apache server) instead of the silly domain assigned to me by the isp?
[03:00] <DClayBuck> tj83: That's the thing.  I've got a Radeon HD 4550 with the latest drivers (running Intrepid x64, btw) but it still hangs when I watch fullscreen video. I got this card because I was having a Compiz nightmare with my GeForce 8600 GT.  I need to return one of the cards soon, but I need some advice on which problem I'll be able to fix.
[03:00] <FAJALOU> i'll try restarting amarok
[03:00] <carandraug> Rolle: I'm in a system configuration menu with a tab called boot. There's a list for OS installed but there's only one in here and no button to add others. WUbi is already installed and appears in the menu but does not appear here
[03:01] <efeXor> What's the package name for mono!?
[03:01] <mike_> node357, mind helping me out with one other thing.. It appears I havent made an icon in applications, and its under WINE, could you help me there too?
[03:01] <tj83> DClayBuck, rule of thumb is nvidia usually comes out on top over ATI, BUT intrepid runs a new xserver version and is quite buggy, wish i could help
[03:02] <node357> mike_, you mean an icon for each game, or for Steam?
[03:02] <mike_> node357, steam.
[03:02] <Rolle> carandraug:  are you in windows xp or vista?
[03:02] <efeXor> I wish steam worked well with friends
[03:02] <DClayBuck> tj83: Thanks anyway.  Anybody else got any tips?
[03:02] <carandraug> Rolle: vista
[03:03] <HellFire-Au> I am bridging 2 interfaces on my htpc, ra0 and eth0. When i setup the bridge, and run dhclient br0 the dhclient is sending requests along eth0. How can i change it so when i type in dhclient br0, the dhclient will send requests along ra0 (my router connection)
[03:03] <node357> sorry mike_ not sure
[03:03] <Rolle> ahh i was thinking xp
[03:03] <Rolle> lemme look
[03:04] <node357> mike_, Steam should have created a Desktop icon, not sure why it didn't for you
[03:04] <usr13> DClayBuck: YOu have what 2 video cards?
[03:04] <VolVE> Can anyone tell me why "adduser fuse fuse" says "The user 'fuse' does not exist.'... ! I know, that's why I'm trying to add it! :(
[03:04] <efeXor> Applications->Wine->Programs->Steam
[03:04] <usr13> The freeze or lockup, can you tell what's causing it?
[03:05] <mike_> node357, I clicked for it not too, i thought it would show up under "applications -> Games", or that at least it would be there so i could move it
[03:06] <DClayBuck> usr13: I have a Radeon HD 4550, two GeForce 8600 GT's, and a shrinking RMA window. :)
[03:06] <node357> mike_, do you have an entry in your menu called "Wine" ? If so, Steam may be in that menu
[03:06] <ttuttle> Hey.  I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 (it's awesome!)  I'm setting up rdiff-backup so my mom's home directory is always backed up, but Ubuntu only provides version 1.1.16, and my host requires at least 1.2.something (they run 1.2.2).  How can I get a newer version?
[03:07] <Sanctusorium> Hello!
[03:07] <efeXor> hi
[03:07] <ttuttle> (I'm normally a Gentoo user, so I'm not averse to installing by hand, but I'd rather convince apt/synaptic to do it the right way.)
[03:07] <node357> yeah efeXor, I wish the Steam Community overlay worked in WINE
[03:07] <DClayBuck> usr13: Not sure. The video freezes, and I can't do anything besides a hard reset, but the audio keeps going like nothing's wrong.  It also locked up during the screensaver once or twice, but that was with the old drivers.
[03:07] <efeXor> I just wish i could communicate with my friends, i've been debating on trying to write a simple friends client to connect to steam with but meh
[03:07] <balboa02> ttuttle: use checkinstall to build a package from source
[03:08] <node357> efeXor, that would be cool
[03:08] <mike_> node357, okay, ill figure out the shortcut part later, i think I can do that... you said go to properties -windowed ?
[03:09] <efeXor> Yeah. Maybe see if i could do an overlay too, but i doubt it
[03:09] <ttuttle> balboa02: is that the only way to do it?  Can't I juts pull a newer version from somewhere?
[03:09] <balboa02> ttuttle: I dpm
[03:09] <luunguyenquoctoa> hi
[03:09] <Sanctusorium> Is there a way I can run Linux in Windows virtually AND be able to make it bootable as well?
[03:09] <efeXor> Is there a way to search for packages in apt if like you dont know the complete name?
[03:09] <balboa02> ttuttle: I don't know if you can or not, did you add the extra repos including medibuntu? They may have updated packages
[03:10] <luunguyenquoctoa> my name's toàn
[03:10] <balboa02> ttuttle: You could also try temporarily changing your repos to jaunty and then install the package from there, but it could cause problems (never has for me personally though)
[03:10] <eseven73> ttuttle: ubuntu doesnt use bleeding edge software but like balboa02 said maybe you can find it from other repos
[03:11] <iLogic> is vino better then tightvncserver?
[03:11] <eseven73> yay ubottu is back :)
[03:11] <efeXor> !ubottu
[03:11] <efeXor> :S
[03:12] <eseven73> !hello | efeXor
[03:12] <stdin> don't abuse the bot, especially when it's syncing
[03:12] <carandraug> Rolle: I just found it. Thank you very much. I found the menu you're talking before (this frieds computer is in portuguese not english and the translation was not that good, the reason I was in the wrong menu). Again, thank you
[03:12] <efeXor> !hello
[03:12] <Rolle> lol no prob
[03:12] <stdin> efeXor, eseven73: stop that
[03:12] <efeXor> okay.
[03:12] <Rolle> i was googling it and thought i found the page, but it wasn't loading
[03:12] <Rolle> =p
[03:12] <stdin> I don't want it to flood off again
[03:12] <eseven73> I didnt know it was syncing sorry
[03:14] <balboa02> I'm getting an intermittent "cannot open display" error when trying to start GUI programs from the terminal, if I open a new terminal and try the command again it will work for a little bit but then starts throwing the error again. Has this happened to anyone?
[03:14] <efeXor> who wrote the bot
[03:14] <stdin> eseven73: it's in over 40 channels, it takes time :)
[03:14] <Geoffrey2> can anyone here show me how to use Google gadgets in the Screenlets application?
[03:14] <eseven73> stdin: ok
[03:14] <stdin> efeXor: it's a supybot
[03:14] <usr13> HellFire-Au: Did you ask another question?
[03:15] <HellFire-Au> usr13: Yeah, i think i found part of the problem
[03:15] <usr13> HellFire-Au: What did you find?
[03:16] <DB_Jones> hey all, anyone able to help with install finding scsi cdrom drive?
[03:16] <HellFire-Au> usr13: When the bridge is up, and i use dhclient br0 it will request on the ethernet interface (proven via the mac address when it says requesting on interface..). How can i change it so when i type in br0, it will request over my wireless usb dongle (ra0) connected to my routers wlan?
[03:17] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> vncveiwer tells me i dont have config security for 3.3
[03:17] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Whats this mean?
[03:18] <racarter> can anyone help me get an online game with glchess?
[03:19] <racarter> i still can't get connected there
[03:19] <usr13> HellFire-Au: Not sure I understand your question, but... If you issue command "dhclient br0", it will only send the request over br0 and not other interfaces.
[03:19] <HellFire-Au> usr13: br0 is the bridge of ra0 and eth0
[03:19] <doraemon112> hihi
[03:19] <HellFire-Au> usr13: Bridge as in, typing brctl addbr br0, brctl addif br0 ra0, etc
[03:21] <|tmwnn|> Hello all. Can Ubuntu Linux be run entirely from a USB flash drive?
[03:22] <mike_> Im having a problem running steam on ubuntu, and could use some assistance
[03:22] <mn> yes
[03:22] <donavan> anyone know how I can get nautilus to show hidden files everytime I open it
[03:22] <ttuttle> How can I configure the Jaunty repository so I can try to get a newer version of rdiff-backup?
[03:22] <temppy> mike_: have you tried the appdb?
[03:23] <mike_> temppy, no Sir, care to ellaborate?
[03:23] <racarter> help with glchess?
[03:23] <temppy> !appdb
[03:23] <unop> ttuttle, you don't want to do that - rather you want to backport stuff from jaunty
[03:23] <mike_> !appdb
[03:23] <unop> !prevu | ttuttle
[03:23] <ttuttle> unop: er, okay, how do I backport it?
[03:23] <ttuttle> unop: thanks
[03:23] <DB_Jones> anyone help with getting server install to recognize scsi cd drive?
[03:23] <temppy> no, click the link mike_, and search for steam
[03:23] <phlux> Any of you use Ubuntu with an HP printer?
[03:24] <farrioth> I have a dual-head setup with TwinView; is there a way to make the Gnome panel not be split over both screens?
[03:24] <phlux> (USB)
[03:24] <HellFire-Au> usr13: Also, i have found that typing in 'dhclient ra0' while i have the bridge activated will result in it DHCPREQUEST for a while not getting anywhere. Without the bridge it goes through fine though, any idea why its happening?
[03:24] <sysdoc> Any guitarist in here found a chromatic tuner for linux that actually works?
[03:24] <phlux> sysdoc, nope, but if you find one, lemme know
[03:25] <phlux> Any of you use Ubuntu with an HP USB printer?
[03:25] <unop> HellFire-Au, you cannot operate on an interface while it is part of a bridge and expect it to do something meaningful
[03:25] <temppy> |tmwnn|: isnt there an app in intrepid that does that?  "Create USB..."
[03:25] <unop> HellFire-Au, maybe you meant to   dhclient br0 ??
[03:25] <ttuttle> unop: Whoa, that's awesome.
[03:25] <sysdoc> phlux I found one but it don't wanna work
[03:26] <HellFire-Au> unop: Yeah, i tried dhclient br0 but the problem was it was requesting on the interface that was connected to other devices, not the interface that was connected to my router
[03:26] <HellFire-Au> unop: So i figured might as well try and see if it does anything
[03:26] <rara> hy
[03:26] <unop> HellFire-Au, and is there another DHCP server on the other interface?
[03:27] <\kira> My server responds slow beyond belief. Whats wierd is that only certain services have the problem. My game server runs fine without problem, but ssh takes so long that the server eventually closes the connection. If I do manage to connect, it takes almost a minute for the keystrokes I type to show up in the terminal. Nmaping the system causes the same effect. I've tried connecting with and without a dyndns. Any suggestions?
[03:27] <|tmwnn|> temppy, I have run Linux from USb on distros, but I have not yet ever used Ubuntu. Thanks
[03:27] <HellFire-Au> unop: The only DHCP server in my network is my router, which ra0 a wireless usb dongle connects to. The eth0 is connected to an xbox 360
[03:27] <mike__> Hardly know where to begin at a website like this, searching "steam issues", could be any of a thousand things it seems...
[03:28] <\kira> also, it works fine if I connect from my LAN. It *seems* this problem happens to everyone who connects outside my LAN
[03:29] <unop> HellFire-Au, then it shouldn't matter if you did a  dhclient br0  -- as long as your wireless driver allows your wireless interface to be put in a bridged mode, it should pick up an address - but that's something to look out for, not all wireless devices can successfully be part of a bridge
[03:29] <temppy> mike__: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=1554
[03:30] <HellFire-Au> unop: Guess that makes sence, i'll have a search around. I have a ralink rt2870 chipset in my wireless usb dongle
[03:31] <Hckyplayer024> Hi, Im having a problem with Ubuntu finding my wireless network. It finds every other one but mine and mine isnt hidden. Can anyone help?
[03:31] <unop> HellFire-Au, mine is a rt73 (which used to have problems)
[03:31] <HellFire-Au> unop: Did you get yours working?
[03:31] <sysdoc> phlux, http://dguitar.sourceforge.net/en/
[03:31] <DClayBuck> Anybody know how to solve either A) system hangs on fullscreen video with a Radeon HD 4550 or B) Compiz display insanity with a GeForce 8600 GT? Running Intrepid x64.
[03:31] <unop> HellFire-Au, for a bridge no - i setup the machine as a router instead
[03:32] <phlux> Any of you use Ubuntu and wirelessly share your printer?
[03:32] <usr13> phlux: Yes
[03:32] <phlux> usr13, will it communicate with Windows?
[03:32] <ttuttle> So, should prevu-init be installing jaunty or intrepid packages?
[03:33] <HellFire-Au> unop: Maybe there's an alternative way to get what im acheiving then, i want my xbox 360 and my linux box to get seperate ip addresses to my router. Can that be possible setting up my box as a router? (While retaining internet connectivity with my linux box)
[03:33] <\kira> My server responds slow beyond belief. Whats wierd is that only certain services have the problem. My game server runs fine without problem, but ssh takes so long that the server eventually closes the connection.

[03:33] <\kira> blem only happens outside my LAN
[03:33] <phlux> thanks, sysdoc
[03:33] <itzhero> I'm using conky and it's displaying RAM in use is 99% (5.80GB/5.83GB) however in System Monitor it is only 14%. How do I correct this?
[03:33] <unop> HellFire-Au,  'box' is what here? a pc or the xbox?
[03:33] <usr13> phlux: I thnik so.
[03:33] <ttuttle> \kira: You're repeating yourself :P
[03:33] <usr13> phlux: If not, you can set it up under a samba share
[03:34] <HellFire-Au> unop: Should've clarified, linux htpc box
[03:34] <\kira> ttuttle: sorry
[03:34] <ttuttle> \kira: It's okay.
[03:34] <unop> HellFire-Au, sure, you'll have to setup ip masquerading on it -- there's a howto on tldp
[03:34] <daxelrod_> kira: Is there a NAT router or firewall between your LAN and the Internet?
[03:35] <ttuttle> Okay, prevu isn't installing a new enough version.
[03:35] <TeamColtra[TFD]> Everytime xchat starts up... it maintains the same "Join Server box" it always does.... I always check  the box so it does not show the list "on login" but it still does, and still reverts back to old inforamtion (my username should be TeamColtra out of prefrence)
[03:35] <HellFire-Au> unop: Awesome, so that will give my xbox and my linux htpc seperate ip addresses while retaining internet connectivity to both?
[03:35]  * Dam-man Laba ryta.
[03:35] <killerlam> buenas noches, mi nombre es lam, y pues tengo un problema con el compiz, alguien podria hecharme una mano? gracias
[03:35] <TeamColtra[TFD]> the "Network List" i guess its what its called... Is there a way to like flush the current settings so maybe it will load again and this time take the right choice?
[03:36] <cvd-pr> Hello, is there a good DvD Software like DVDFab but for linux?
[03:36] <jtaji> !es | killerlam
[03:36] <unop> HellFire-Au, right - but those ip addresses cannot be on the same ip network as your router - they'll have to be on a separate ip network
[03:36] <rohil> Hi. I have a XP/Ubuntu 7.04 dual boot. I am trying to install 8.10 from scratch. But, the Ubuntu LiveCD is not being booted from. Windows CD works though. I have made the required changes in the BIOS. Even the GParted Live CD doesnt boot. It all just proceeds to display the list of OS on the HDD..any help would great. Thanks
[03:36] <killerlam> gracias
[03:36] <killerlam> XD
[03:36] <TeamColtra[TFD]> !Spanish | killerlam
[03:36] <TeamColtra[TFD]> whoops
[03:36] <TeamColtra[TFD]> was late... AND not correct
[03:37] <\kira> how can I start a dameon, for instance: Nessus?
[03:37] <unop> \kira, sudo invoke-rc.d nessus start
[03:37] <HellFire-Au> unop: I'll still be able to access them from a different ip network though right? And would the xbox 360 show up in the Network view of a windows vista computer on a different ip network to the xbox?
[03:37] <\kira> unop: thanks
[03:37] <temppy> rohil: sounds like a bad cd?
[03:38] <\kira> unop: it returns a error, saying the script is not found. I had removed all the references to nessus from the startup directory, could that be causing it?
[03:39] <Hckyplayer024> Hi, Im having a problem with Ubuntu finding my wireless network. It finds every other one but mine and mine isnt hidden. Can anyone help?
[03:39] <usr13> rohil: What application did you use to burn the CD?
[03:39] <rohil> \temppy Both GParted and Ubuntu are not working
[03:39] <\kira> !repeat | Hckyplayer024
[03:39] <rohil> I burnt one normally from Windows XP and another from Nero 7 essentials
[03:39] <unop> HellFire-Au, errm, not really - as your box will become a NAT router in the process - but you can setup your box as a samba master browser and bi-directional NAT to help
[03:39] <Paradoxx> eseven73, sigh. I don't know what do. I tried everything
[03:40] <rohil> I can read the .iso in the CD after booting into the OS though ...
[03:40] <godsyn> please help : how do I flush samba's net cache (hostnames => IP active on the network)?
[03:40] <temppy> rohil: you can read the iso?
[03:40] <unop> \kira, if you've removed all scripts - how do you expect to start the service?  that doesn;t make much sense
[03:40] <rohil> Yes. I can. but from inside Windows XP
[03:40] <HellFire-Au> unop: How would i go about doing that?
[03:40] <temppy> rohil: does the iso show up in the cd directory?
[03:41] <rohil> yeah. But after starting XP.
[03:41] <\kira> unop: I thought I was only removing the ones from the startup directory. im not sure what directory it was. It just also didnt make sense to start nessus before the internet was configured, since it wouldnt be able to download any plugins
[03:41] <godsyn> !smbtree
[03:41] <godsyn> !samba
[03:41] <temppy> rohil: it sounds like you are burning the iso wrong.  You can't burn it as a data cd, you have to burn it as an image
[03:41] <unop> HellFire-Au, http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/rhel-rg-en-4/s1-samba-network-browsing.html
[03:41] <godsyn> !cifs
[03:41] <unop> godsyn, please /query ubottu  to take this in private
[03:42] <godsyn> got all I need from him (thanks).
[03:42] <rohil> ohh...shit ! Looks like I made a mistake. I will try and burn it as an image and see how it turns out. Thanks a lot temppy !
[03:42] <temppy> np
[03:42] <mib_1md0tf> rohil: download Infrarecorder from web to XP and burn image... works great
[03:43] <rohil> Thanks a lot. mib !
[03:43] <unop> \kira, well then, you'll have to put those scripts back (a reinstall of the nessus package should do that)
[03:43] <Armagguedes> hello
[03:43] <Armagguedes>  how do i - using a live cd - actually access my data on the hardrive?
[03:44] <\kira> unop: actually, I just seemed to have found a better method. I can go to the /opt/nessus/sbin directory and run the nessusd (nessus dameon) script. Thanks anyways
[03:44] <HellFire-Au> unop: Cheers, also is this the correct guide to setup ip masquerade: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/index.html ? And just one last thing, how would i go about setting up the bi-directional NAT?
[03:45] <general>  how do i install the perl module Net::Telnet on my ubuntu machine?
[03:45] <unop> HellFire-Au, well, the howto should set you up for NAT in one direction (atleast) - it's just a matter of reciprocating that the other way
[03:45] <unop> general,   sudo cpan Net::Telnet
[03:46] <mib_1md0tf> Armagguedes:  easiest way: click on the Home folder on your desktop.  navigate up til in the Nautilus window, you see an entry on left side for "File System" or 20Gb Drive or something like that
[03:46] <unop> general, or.  sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Net::Telnet"'
[03:46] <DClayBuck> I need some advice on solving the fullscreen-video-causes-system-hang issue with my HD 4550.  Can I fix it in Intrepid x64? Should I switch to a GeForce 8600 GT instead? Should I run Hardy instead?
[03:46] <HellFire-Au> unop: Thanks for the help, i'll try it out and see how it goes : )
[03:47] <Armagguedes> mib_1md0tf: cheers seems to have worked
[03:48] <danielm_mc> heya - is there an easy way to upgrade hardy heron 32-bit to 64-bit?  URL would be helpful ?
[03:49] <temppy> danielm_mc: I think you have to reinstall
[03:49] <danielm_mc> temppy: is there anyway w/o reinstall?
[03:49] <lv> i partitioned my hdd, one for winXP, one for Ubuntu and one for swap...but after installing XP and trying to install Ubuntu it seems determent to try to install on the XP partition...any advice?
[03:49] <mike__> is there a way to access media (NOT just copy) over ssh/sftp with windows client?
[03:49] <throwt> how do i disable compiz?  it automatically got enabled when i installed the nvidia driver, but it's causing weird corruptions on the screen, so i want to eliminate compiz as a possibility.
[03:50] <throwt> mike__: samba, nfs
[03:50] <mike__> throwt: killal compiz
[03:50] <mib_1md0tf> danielm_mc: looks like temppy is right:   http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-801869.html
[03:50] <mike__> *killall
[03:50] <temppy> danielm_mc: That's the point, I don't think there is.  But, if you backup /home, you can save you settings.
[03:50] <mike__> thanks
[03:50] <william56> would it be hard to modify a minimal installer to install xubuntu's default packages plus any updates i have lying around from the cd?
[03:51] <Hector> Guys, I have a quick question.
[03:51] <throwt> mike__: that leaves me without a window manager.  where do i make it not use it in the first place/
[03:51] <mib_1md0tf> go ahead william56
[03:51] <kurrata> throwt:  right click on desktop->change desktop effects->Vidual effects
[03:51] <mib_1md0tf> i meant go ahead hector
[03:51] <mike__> ah, throwt:  "metacity --replace"
[03:51] <william56> i mean,. what.. ah
[03:51] <dannyperson> Hi! I  upgraded to 8.10 a few days ago. Now when i get to the face browser, i click my name and enter my password, but then the screen turns black, and it goes back to the face browser
[03:51] <Hector> I installed ubuntu on a Vaio Laptop, and I'm having trouble having sound work.
[03:52] <throwt> kurrata:  i dont see such an option, but i could get to it from the chage background option.  thanks
[03:53] <throwt> is there a way to actually configure compiz ?
[03:53] <Armagguedes> mib_1md0tf: how can i move stuff around with the live CD, if the partitions are not even mounted properly?
[03:53] <Lou_> dannyperson, go to your system log and see if you have segfault.
[03:53] <dannyperson> where are my system logs
[03:53] <mike__> throwt: system>preferences>compiz settings
[03:54] <tyrant_> throwt, u have to  install it first i think
[03:54] <throwt> mike__: i dont have that option...and im really using ubuntu
[03:54] <Lou_> dannyperson, ...a segfault
[03:54] <mib_1md0tf> Armagguedes: i dont believe you can move partitions while in LiveCD.  you need to install you run the partitioner
[03:54] <throwt> I guess you're right.  I need to install compizconfig-settings-manager or something
[03:54] <eseven73> !ccsm | throwt
[03:55] <Armagguedes> not partitions just stuff in them
[03:55] <throwt> thanks eseven73
[03:55] <chris___> hi
[03:55] <eseven73> np
[03:55] <Armagguedes> namely my home folder
[03:55] <tyrant_> te
[03:55] <dannyperson> i mean how would i know if i have a segfault
[03:55] <mib_1md0tf> Armagguedes:  if you're referring to a windows vol, you can only READ from cd, I dont believe you can write to it.  requires permissions
[03:56] <chris___> i got a problem, im trying to mount a fat32 disk to intrepid, but its not workin
[03:56] <Armagguedes> cp /media/disk-2/bpsg /media/disk-1/bckp/ > error: omitting /media/disk-2/bpsg
[03:56] <Armagguedes> even sudo does not work
[03:56] <lv> is there a way of getting Ubuntu to install on hda2 instead of hda1 (my xp partition)?  ..sorry..a bit of a newbie when it comes to Linux
[03:56] <dannyperson> which log would i check
[03:56] <Armagguedes> no, all ext3 stuff
[03:57] <Armagguedes> how can i override permissions; sudo doesnt work
[03:57] <mib_1md0tf> Armagguedes: something sounds wrong deeper than permissions.  I'm stumped -- anyone else???
[03:57] <unop> Armagguedes,  is  /media/disk-2/bpsg  a directory?
[03:57] <Armagguedes> yes
[03:57] <unop> Armagguedes, cp -r  .....
[03:57] <kurrata> Armagguedes: when u instal ubuntu from livecd it asks on wich partition to instal when you select custom partitioning(or something like that)
[03:57] <chris___> quit
[03:58] <tyrant_> lv there is a way , u just have to read a bit about the different filesystem and the unix directory hierarchy
[03:58] <kurrata> lv: when u instal ubuntu from livecd it asks on wich partition to instal when you select custom partitioning(or something like that)
[03:58] <eseven73> !u | tyrant_
[03:58] <throwt> Does linux support packet writing a la udf?  ie: can i use my dvdrw as any old filesystem
[03:58] <Armagguedes> kurrata: i need to salvage the stuff in my home folder fisrt
[03:58] <marabout> good evening all ( morning to some)
[03:59] <kurrata> Armagguedes:  my messege was for lv ;)
[03:59] <lv> okay...thanks, tyrant and kurrata...i'll look again, but i couldn't find anything earlier
[03:59] <dannyperson> im not quite sure what is a segfault...
[03:59] <dannyperson> or how i would know if it happened

[04:05] <Atomicsunset> i accidently installed ubuntu over my exsisting windows XP on a netbook
[04:06] <william56> is there a guide on making a regular install cd from a minimal cd? basically i'd like to have a text mode install with all the packages i'll use copied either from the pc that's going to be burning the disk or from a full graphical install cd
[04:06] <yaris123456789> hey guys how do i run something in the background ? ex)    php something.php argument1 argument2 > /dev/null &   ?

[04:06] <mdg> william56, tell me about your distro
[04:06] <yaris123456789> unop: how do i stop it after
[04:06] <\kira> Atomicsunset: if you want to install windows, ask on #windows

[04:07] <Atomicsunset> can anyone tell me how to boot into a usb

[04:07] <unop> yaris123456789, kill it?
[04:07] <itzhero> jtaji: Hmmm, maybe.  This didn't happen until I upgraded from 2GB ram -> 6GB.  I am running 64bit Ubuntu 8.10
[04:07] <\kira> Atomicsunset: what are you wanting, then?
[04:07] <dman> You need to change your Bios to boot from a USB
[04:07] <Atomicsunset> i just wanna know if there is a way to install windows via usb since i have no dvd drive
[04:07] <danny_> I'd like to know why, when I boot up, the Ubuntu logo doesn't show--all I get is a black screen. (Running 8.10)
[04:07] <dman> if your Bios allows
[04:07] <yaris123456789> does nohup work too ?

[04:09] <mdg> william56: what apps you using, what kind of work will you be doing from CLI?
[04:09] <\kira> transporter: cannot see the top and bottom? Are you talking about while using the desktop cube rotation?
[04:09] <william56> command line? probably just running make and using apt-get
[04:09] <ubuntu> hello, all can a newbie ask an easy quick question
[04:09] <transporter> \kira: yes
[04:10] <HacKBoX> transporter: have you set the images? | \kira

[04:12] <unop> Grandslammaster, how exactly are you starting apache there?
[04:12] <eseven73> 85? why not port 80 Grandslammaster ?
[04:12] <HacKBoX> ubuntu: how much ram do you have
[04:12] <throwt> ubuntu: you only have 16gb?  depending on what you're doing, just having / may be good enough
[04:12] <Grandslammaster> my bro is using port 80 for his server
[04:12] <transporter> \kira HackBox: tried everything it is something do to with the version of compiz that i have
[04:12] <eseven73> ah
[04:12] <Grandslammaster> my router is set for 85
[04:12] <ubuntu> just dual booting xp and ultimate edition
[04:12] <\kira> transporter: try upgrading, then?
[04:12] <eseven73> did you set that in apache config?
[04:12] <Grandslammaster> yeah
[04:12] <Grandslammaster> i did
[04:13] <HacKBoX> in desktop cube -> Appearance you have the cube cap image set?
[04:13] <Grandslammaster> when i type my ip address into a browser it doesnt get my site
[04:13] <Grandslammaster> i have to use 127.0.0.1
[04:13] <unop> Grandslammaster, how exactly are you starting apache there?
[04:13] <transporter> \kira how do i do that will i lose the settings that i have with the compiz then
[04:13] <HacKBoX> ubuntu How much system memory
[04:13] <ubuntu> I have 1 gig and my swap will be 2 gigs
[04:13] <Grandslammaster> what do u mean
[04:13] <jtaji> anxiolytic: there's some web based tools... http://kuler.adobe.com/  http://colorblender.com/
[04:13] <Grandslammaster> i type in the console apache2ctl -k start
[04:14] <unop> Grandslammaster, i think you forgot sudo there
[04:14] <ubuntu> Im getting 2 more gigs of ram in a couple of weeks
[04:14] <Letter_Z> I'm listening to: Hilltop Hoods - The Hard Road - Conversations from a Speakeasy - (0:32/3:28)
[04:14] <Grandslammaster> ok
[04:14] <Grandslammaster> ill try that
[04:14] <eseven73> Grandslammaster: im not sure your apache is set up to handle more than 1 webserver, if your brother has one on port 80
[04:14] <\kira> transporter: You can back up your settings, then re-install them. This isnt really ubuntu related anymore, and Im not sure how to upgrade, so mabye try asking in #compiz?
[04:14] <jtaji> ubuntu: FYI ubuntu ultimate edition is not supported in here, I would suggest using regular Ubuntu
[04:14] <tons2000> kira - use synaptic?
[04:15] <Grandslammaster> apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}
[04:15] <HacKBoX> ubuntu: you would be fine with only about a third of that as swap. you should set the home at about 7-8 gig.
[04:15] <Grandslammaster> i got that error message
[04:15] <\kira> transporter: also, have you done a update in a while?
[04:15] <ubuntu> I understand but I am just using the live cd right now and thought my question would be for all distros of linux
[04:15] <jtaji> ubuntu: just for future reference ;)
[04:15] <eseven73> Grandslammaster: what does sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart do?
[04:15] <unop> Grandslammaster, what does this give you?   grep APACHE_RUN_USER /etc/apache2/*
[04:16] <transporter> \kira: my system is up to date it does not have the deformation option in the ccsm u know so that's the reason i cannot see it
[04:16] <ubuntu> jtaji: thanks
[04:16] <tons2000> ubuntu - what question?
[04:16] <\kira> eseven73: it restarts the apache dameon
[04:16] <eseven73> of course
[04:16] <eseven73> im asking him to do that command kira

[04:17] <dannyperson> thanks Lou for your small, but important, help. Removing libpam-smbpass saved me!
[04:17] <anxiolytic> jtaji: thanks
[04:17] <anxiolytic> I really want some desktop tools. I'm sure there are
[04:17] <KKaren> hello
[04:17] <HacKBoX> transporter: you answered your own question, you could try 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then 'sudo apt-get install compiz'
[04:17] <ubuntu> hackbox: you sure all i need is about 400mB with 1GB ram
[04:17] <Predator>  8-)
[04:18] <eseven73> Grandslammaster: sorry was that for me?
[04:18] <pelao91> any good program for drawing
[04:18] <Grandslammaster> i think so
[04:18] <Grandslammaster> yeah
[04:18] <eseven73> !who | Grandslammaster
[04:18] <\kira> transporter: I dont have a clue why you wouldnt be able to see it. The last thing I can recommend (since im not currently at a computer with compiz on it), is to remove and reinstall compiz and see if that makes a difference. If you cant backup you would loose all your settings (I think). I would recommend asking in #compiz first, before you take a move that drastic
[04:18] <transporter> HackBox: will it mess it up or something
[04:18] <Grandslammaster> what does that mean
[04:18] <jtaji> pelao91: by drawing do you mean vector graphics illustration, or a simple paint program?
[04:19] <marabout> hoping to get an install of 8.04 on my machine which uses via chrome9 HC IGP - any tips...
[04:19] <pelao91> illustration
[04:19] <transporter> \kira i will tell u the version im using does not allow me to do that u know
[04:19] <jtaji> pelao91: inkscape is superb
[04:19] <HacKBoX> ubuntu: No 700 meg, 1/3 2gig you said. You could do without the swap but you would have to have an optimized system
[04:19] <eseven73> Grandslammaster: it means type my name before your responce (if you're repsonding to me that is) responding*
[04:19] <Grandslammaster> it also says when i restart apache that it cannot qualify the domain name
[04:19] <pelao91> cool thanks
[04:19] <transporter> \kira please tell me the command wherein i can actually check the version and then i will tell u
[04:19] <eseven73> Grandslammaster: that part is normal
[04:20] <Grandslammaster> ﻿eseven73
[04:20] <HacKBoX> transporter: it will update you repository lists then it will reinstall compiz with the newest version
[04:20] <eseven73> Grandslammaster: the part that isnt normal is all that bit about user error
[04:20] <pelao91> how do i get  it?
[04:20] <\kira> transporter: I forgot to mention what HacKBoX just mentioned, is your respritories up to date?
[04:20] <jtaji> pelao91: sudo aptitude install inkscape
[04:20] <Grandslammaster> so how do i make it work for my ip address
[04:20] <Grandslammaster> ﻿eseven73
[04:20] <ubuntu> Ok guys this is what im getting from here "w/ 16GB partition my / should be 8GB /home should be 7GB and the rest for swap
[04:20] <pelao91> thanks
[04:20] <unop> Grandslammaster, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=804436
[04:21] <jtaji> ubuntu: that sounds reasonable
[04:21] <\kira> ubuntu: that sounds like a fair setup to me
[04:21] <LtL> Grandslammaster: you should edit /etc/hosts as such: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost myhostname
[04:21] <Grandslammaster> ok
[04:21] <kao> hi
[04:21] <HacKBoX> ubuntu: sounds good to me

[04:22] <con-man> does anyone have suggestions I just wanna play my DVD
[04:22] <ppibburr> is there a deb that fixes transcode?
[04:22] <HacKBoX> transporter \kira try reinstalling it anyways
[04:23] <\kira> transporter: Im out of ideas... Sorry. Its kinda hard to help when im not actually at a system capable of running compiz
[04:23] <LtL> unop: it should see 127.0.0.1 and resolve to its fqdn, but the httpd.conf needs to be right.
[04:23] <Grandslammaster> at the top of hosts it has 127.0.0.1 localhost
[04:23] <Grandslammaster> then 127.0.1.1 justin-laptop
[04:23] <transporter> HackBox: will this screw up my settings
[04:23] <HacKBoX> transporter \kira My compiz runs flawlessly
[04:23] <con-man> I think I have permissions issues
[04:23] <con-man> with playing DVDs
[04:23] <jtaji> con-man: pastebin your full error message
[04:24] <unop> LtL, errm, 127.0.1.1 is not 127.0.0.1  - the fqdn of one does not affect the other
[04:24] <con-man> that was it
[04:24] <con-man> all 5 liens
[04:24] <eseven73> con-man: do you have all the codecs?
[04:24] <jtaji> con-man: we didn't see 5 lines
[04:24] <\kira> transporter, HacKBoX: as does mine
[04:24] <LtL> unop: he should have 127.0.0.1 also
[04:24] <unop> Grandslammaster, i suggest you work on getting apache operational first
[04:24] <\kira> transporter: what version of ubuntu are you running? | HacKBoX
[04:24] <unop> LtL, sure - but that's somewhat besides the point
[04:24] <transporter> \kira and Hackbox lucky people

[04:28] <transporter> \kira: of course
[04:28] <eseven73> Grandslammaster: sorry was away, um no clue man
[04:28] <jtaji> rohil: beginning or end doesn't matter, just depends on what order you are making the partitions and where you want them... I usually work left to right
[04:28] <Grandslammaster> u dont no how to do that
[04:28] <eseven73> Paradoxx: i'd use thunderbird
[04:29] <kerry_> hi

[04:31] <Grandslammaster> they suck
[04:31] <cvd-pr> kurrata, ok thanks
[04:31] <donavan> hackbox: will it do a test or just let me mess with fat
[04:31] <Grandslammaster> for apache2 how do i specify my domain name
[04:31] <HacKBoX> jtaji: oops. i thought fsck and typed fdisk. although it may donavan
[04:31] <kerry_> whenever i try to "apply changes" in synaptic, the dialog box stays open even though it says "removed software" and the close button is greyed out
[04:32] <Grandslammaster> i want to be able to type my ip address and then go to my sit
[04:32] <Grandslammaster> e
[04:32] <kerry_> it was working fine before i tried to remove GDM!!
[04:32] <LtL> Grandslammaster: if you have a permanent ip, i would use the 127.0.0.1 line in  /etc/hosts. just my experience.
[04:32] <skooz1> how do you fix loading windows i select it and ubuntu loads
[04:32] <Grandslammaster> so what do i do in hosts
[04:33] <donavan> jtaji: reading the man ... but im unsure on something ... will it check usb drives or just the main system drive ?
[04:33] <Grandslammaster> LtL how should i modify etc/hosts
[04:33] <HacKBoX> jtaji: oops. i thought fsck and typed fdisk. although it may donavan

[04:34] <Trikster> I am currently downloading Ubuntu for the first time; is there anything I should be aware of before installing it?
[04:34] <tritium> Trikster: read the release notes, for one thing.
[04:34] <mdg> Trikster: have you used Ubuntu before?
[04:34] <Trikster> No, I haven't, mdg.
[04:35] <jtaji> donavan: you can check any drive you want, it has to be unmounted first which is why that factoid mentioned checking on startup
[04:35] <HacKBoX> donavan: it should check anything with a readable partition table
[04:35] <Trikster> tritium, I will look for those.
[04:35] <mdg> Trikster: just play with the live cd some before you install - kick the tires so to speak
[04:35] <sysdoc> Trikster, yea, this is gonna be a jourley that'll change you life
[04:35] <Grandslammaster> ﻿LtL right now i am just trying to make it so when i type my ip in a browser my site will show up
[04:35] <Grandslammaster> i dont have an actual domain
[04:35] <donavan> jtaji, hackbox :  thanks
[04:36] <mdg> Trikster: have you used linux at all?
[04:36] <marabout> Need some help - im looking to install hardy on my machine as intrepid would not display after install - any thing i should know before beginning
[04:36] <Trikster> No, this is my first time, mdg.
[04:36] <Trikster> The only experience I have with linux is through web servers.
[04:36] <jtaji> donavan: so you would unmount it first and then fsck /dev/sdb1 or whatever your device is
[04:36] <mdg> Trikster: Take it slow
[04:36] <mdg> Trikster: What kind of computer do you have?
[04:36] <Trikster> Eh
[04:37] <marabout> im using a stepnote nc1502
[04:37] <Trikster> Not too up to date on it's specs.
[04:37] <Grandslammaster> ﻿LtL so instead of using 127.0.1.1 in a browser i need 65.31.238.214 to work
[04:37] <sysdoc> Trikster, Cool thin is that you can now have your own apache server...:)
[04:37] <Trikster> According to the release notes, I have more than enough ram, so I think I should be good.
[04:37] <mdg> Mac or PC, older or new like dual core?
[04:37] <donavan> jtaji: got ya ... thoughts thats what it was but im doing about 5 things at once so its taking me a bit to get through it
[04:37] <Trikster> PC older.
[04:37] <Trikster> No dual

[04:39] <tritium> !enter | Grandslammaster
[04:39] <jesus_> i've tried pressing shit for a few seconds but the whole cap does not go away

[04:41] <cvd-pr> so how to blacklist wine in compiz?
[04:41] <Grandslammaster> for apache2 server
[04:41] <Bear7809> Hi guys. I have a problem.
[04:41] <LtL> Grandslammaster: apache2 in ubuntu has a httpd.conf but the actual conf used is named 'default' in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default. or used to be. try http://apache.org
[04:42] <Grandslammaster> ok
[04:42] <LtL> Grandslammaster: you must edit that file or forget it!
[04:42] <Grandslammaster> so i have to modify my default in sites-available
[04:42] <Grandslammaster> ok
[04:42] <jesus_> this is frustrating... i have to set cap lock on all the time...
[04:43] <Bear7809> When i get to the splash screen my monitor goes black. But ubuntu is still runing. If i try to make it log in by guessing what im putting it it logs in just fine. My card is an ATI card and i ubuntu running on another computer howerver it has an nvidia card. Any ideas how i can get this fixed
[04:43] <Bear7809> I heared it might be a problem with the splash screen resolution, but how do i just fix that.
[04:43] <passive1> What is the best P2P ? something like bearshare ?
[04:43] <donavan> jtaji , hackbox:  ok so how do I know where my drive is once its unmounted ... it normally shows up as /media/disk but once its unmounted its not under that anymore

[04:44] <donavan> gotcha
[04:44] <passive1> what is ! thing ?
[04:44] <jtaji> passive1: it tells the bot to give someone information
[04:45] <Bear7809> is this working?
[04:45] <passive1> okay I'll give them a shot thanks all
[04:45] <tritium> Bear7809: yes
[04:45] <PRIVATE_PARTY_EX> surabaya
[04:45] <Bear7809> did you see my question?
[04:45] <mdg> Bear7809: Do you even get a command prompt?
[04:45] <jadedoto1> Bear7809: Yes I can see your messages
[04:46] <Bear7809> no the monitor recieves no signal
[04:46] <Bear7809> i can get one by doing ctrl atl f1
[04:46] <lacita> I just extracted a tar.bz... where did it extract to? and what file do I sudo make?
[04:46] <Bear7809> the monitor turns back on and i get a command prompt to log in

[04:46] <itzhero> How do I set my printer (in CUPS) to print the last page first, so its on the bottom of the stack?
[04:47] <Bear7809> !tab
[04:47] <donavan> jtaji: thanks again ... its been years since I have really used linux (were talking 386/486 days) and I just cant remember anything and then have changed stuff a good deal so its all kinds of fun figuring stuff out again
[04:47] <LtL> Bear7809: try looking this page over, you should be able to fix it via cli, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplash
[04:47] <eseven73> that !tab does not explain it well enough, Bear7809 basically you just type the first couple letters of someones nick and press Tab key
[04:48]  * nnull pushes TAB and hold's paper cup under A: drive waiting patiently
[04:48] <jeanphilippe> Bear7809: lpoptions -d<printer> -o outputorder=reverse
[04:48] <LtL> jeanphilippe: tell itzhero that answer :)
[04:49] <jp_sf> LtL: Ah get confused here
[04:49] <jp_sf> itzhero: lpoptions -d<printer> -o outputorder=reverse
[04:50] <jp_sf> Bear7809: sorry ...
[04:50] <itzhero> judr drop that in commandline? with my printer in place of <printer> ?
[04:50] <itzhero> just*
[04:50] <Bear7809> jp_sf: its ok
[04:50] <jp_sf> itzhero: yes I print from the command line
[04:50] <Bear7809> LtL: so you think i should change the theme of my usplash?
[04:51] <eseven73> itzhero: 99% of the commands people tell you to run here, should be put in a terminal :)
[04:51] <mdg> Bear7809: Is this a live cd or a regular install?
[04:51] <jp_sf> eseven73: true very true
[04:51] <itzhero> eseven73, yeah i figured, but i mentioned cups so i wasn't too sure
[04:51] <Bear7809> mdg: regular install via the cd they sent me in the mail
[04:51] <donavan> anyone done a software raid on ubuntu ?  performance wise is it worth doing or should I get a card
[04:51] <LtL> Bear7809: i'm saying it might refresh the usplash and get it to work, not necessarily change it
[04:52] <veggteppe> any1 that can tell me what ubuntu version that work's best for games?
[04:52] <mdg> Bear7809: If its a live cd they sent, try booting from it once and see what happens
[04:52] <Bear7809> LtL: gotcha, ill try to do that.
[04:52] <Bear7809> mdg: so pop it in restart the compy and boot from the cd?
[04:52] <jp_sf> donavan: depends what you want to acheive
[04:53] <\kira> How can I set the time via the command line?
[04:53] <mdg> Bear7809: Yes.  Watch how it boots from the live cd and maybe you can catch where it is messing up.
[04:53] <jp_sf> \kira: date
[04:53] <Bear7809> I think that its the video card. Ubuntu works fine on my parents compy which has an NVidia card.
[04:53] <LtL> Bear7809: it wont hurt to changeit, i like xubuntu better myself, but i use ubuntu
[04:53] <\kira> jp_sf: thanks
[04:53] <itzhero> jp_sf: when i run lpoptions it tells me that outputorder=reverse
[04:53] <itzhero> however it still prints the same direction
[04:54] <Bear7809> ive heard of a video safe mode. i bet i have to install the latest drivers for the card in ubuntu. im not so sure how to get that done or do the video safe mode.
[04:54] <jp_sf> itzhero: hum , must come from your config file
[04:54] <LtL> \kira: with the date command. man date
[04:55] <FearMoth> Hi, is there a LiveCD that I can use to stress-test my machine? Is there anything on the Ubuntu Live CD? Any recommendations?
[04:55] <lacita> Sorry all, had to help my dad... He's sick. Anyways, I still have no sound. I compiled ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.18a.tar.bz2 , but cant getit to sudo make install.
[04:55] <mdg> Bear7809: You can pick safe from the boot menu that pops up when you run the cd
[04:55] <LtL> \kira: in other words mandate the date ;)
[04:55] <itzhero> jp_sf, do I need to restart cups?
[04:55] <\kira> LtL: :D
[04:55] <jp_sf> itzhero: edit /etc/cups/ppd/<yourprinter>.ppd and set the Defaultoutputorder to reverse
[04:56] <donavan> jp_sf ... to be honest ... I don't really know ... kind of one of those things where I have a bunch of old hardware and I really want a raid array for the hell of it and the extra storage would be nice too ... but if its going to be stupid slow I am going to need to put it on other machine and network it to my main PC
[04:56] <\kira> LtL: Just a question, though. Just after setting it, My screen turned itself off..... Im wondering if this is coincidence or if something happened there....
[04:56] <cuddlefish> can someone help with a python issue?
[04:56] <LtL> itzhero: sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
[04:56] <\kira> LtL: because it happened like the second I hit the enter button
[04:57] <LtL> \kira: strange, probably time drift or something
[04:57] <cuddlefish> How do I reinstall python?
[04:57] <\kira> LtL: oh, that would make sense :) Thats kinda cool ;)
[04:58] <passive1> FrostWire is far away from BearShare it even gives a fake results alot
[04:58] <jp_sf> donavan: I never setup raid on a IDE or sata disk with a rpm of 7200, I usually do that on SCSI 10000 rpm with RAID 5 I never saw a slow down, it depends a lot of the hardisk, cache speed etc etc
[04:59] <pelao91> passive1: is limewire
[04:59] <hckyplayer024> hi can someone help me with ubuntu not finding all available wireless networks
[04:59] <cuddlefish> How do I reinstall python? (pythonpath is messed up)
[04:59] <LtL> \kira: best way to configure printers is from a browser http://localhost:631
[04:59] <marabout> trying to run apt-get update via terminal but keep getting "failed to fetch" errors - any ideas what I can do?
[04:59] <passive1> pelao91, Now I am downloading limewire to see
[04:59] <\kira> LtL: I dont want to configure printers... Thanks for the info, though ;)
[04:59] <Deadboys> im having a problem when trying to add a user
[04:59] <Deadboys> -bash: useradd: command not found
[05:00] <pelao91> ok that is the best
[05:00] <itzhero> Thanks guys, printer's working.  How do I keep my motd file from changing back to the Ubuntu default?
[05:00] <\kira> Deadboys: adduser is the command, I believe
[05:01] <donavan> jp_sf: yeah I know scsi is the way to go but I only have a few 4g scsi drives which is hardly worth it ... but I have some bigger IDEs Im not so much worried about the drives so much as how its going to hit my processor ... am I looking at some serious slowdown?
[05:01] <Ronen> Hello...
[05:01] <itzhero> Hi.
[05:01] <pelao91> hola
[05:01] <Deadboys> \kira no it is useradd
[05:01] <mamaro> Hello
[05:01] <Trikster> What apps will I loose when I switch to Linux?
[05:01] <Ronen> How is everyone...I have a quick question, hopefully you can help...
[05:01] <Deadboys> does anyone have any idea why useradd isnt working for me?
[05:02] <Deadboys> im logged in as root
[05:02] <Trikster> lose*
[05:02] <CarlFK> Deadboys: are you running ubuntu?
[05:02] <mamaro> Trikster I still use windows for photoshop, GIMP doesn't do it for me.
[05:02] <jp_sf> donavan: usually devs and people are the first to scream at hardisk performance I have usually checked throughly with sar (and ksar (for the nice graphic output)) I never saw a problem, your IDE controller might be abigger bottleneck, if you have the luxury try monitor it with sar (sysutils package)
[05:02] <Americun> What is the best podcast manager for ubuntu?
[05:02] <dscvlt> is there a log file for the "Leave Message" option when my screen is locked in X?
[05:02] <t94xr_laptop> anyone else with a sony ericsson phone? Im having trouble getting ubuntu 8.10 to recognise my phone at all - even in usb mode..
[05:03] <Ronen> I can't get a screen resolution any higher than 1024 x 768
[05:03] <Deadboys> CarlFK would i be in #ubuntu if i wasnt
[05:03] <Trikster> mamaro, you mean that Linux doesn't have Photoshop?
[05:03] <Ronen> I used to be able to get a resolution much higher than that...
[05:03] <CarlFK> Deadboys: how/why did you log in as root?
[05:03] <Ronen> but then I tried to install the NVidia drivers for my video card and it didn't work..
[05:03] <Psyrix21> quick question, i am doing a dual boot, with two HD's. I'm getting ready to install Ubuntu. Should i have the HD with windows on it, the primary HD? or does it matter?
[05:04] <jinja-sheep> !dualboot
[05:04] <Ronen> but I was unable to get any higher resolution than 1024 x 768..
[05:04] <Deadboys> CarlFK i logged in my dedi as root because that is the only user i have at the moment
[05:04] <Deadboys> hence me trying to create another one
[05:04] <CShadowRun> psycodad ubuntu will install a boot loader onto the primary drive by default to give you grub
[05:04] <CShadowRun> (i think)
[05:04] <donavan> jp_sf: will do thanks ... one other question ... can I do a mirrored raid for to os drive ... I know in windows its a big no-no but can linux do this to make the OS a little snappier ?
[05:05] <mdg> Deadboys: What happens why you type "whereis adduser?"
[05:05] <CarlFK> Deadboys: dedi?
[05:05] <CShadowRun> donavan windows can do it, my old windows system used to be raid0
[05:05] <Deadboys> CarlFK Dedicated server
[05:05] <Deadboys> adduser: /etc/adduser.conf /usr/share/adduser /usr/share/man/man8/adduser.8.gz
[05:05] <Deadboys> thats what happens mdg
[05:05] <Psyrix21> blah blah read that link
[05:05] <mdg> Deadboys: should be in sbin
[05:05] <jinja-sheep> Psyrix21:  Linux don't require lot of spaces.  I suppose you should save all your personal data / private data / only-god-know-what data on the second hard drive.
[05:06] <nickrud> t94xr_laptop, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/306721
[05:06] <LtL> Deadboys: mdg is right, or use the gui
[05:06] <\kira> Deadboys: yep, its adduser
[05:06] <Psyrix21> there is no data on the second HD, just finished formatting it
[05:06] <t94xr_laptop> nickrud, thanks i'll take a look
[05:06] <Deadboys> LtL gui is not an option
[05:06] <jp_sf> donavan: on the same drive ? no don't do it
[05:07] <Deadboys> mdg how do go about fixing it just move to sbin?
[05:07] <donavan> CshadowsRun: was that a hardware raid ... or did they change something on me and I didnt catch it ... I know that as of server 2000 running any dynamic disk couldnt be done on the OS partition because of booting issues with the bios or something
[05:07] <mdg> Deadboys: What do you get when you type "who"
[05:07] <jtaji> Deadboys: maybe you don't have /usr/sbin in your path? try /usr/sbin/adduser
[05:07] <marabout> lost my internet connection or so it seems in terminal can you help me check if I am still connected
[05:07] <donavan> jp_sf: 2 physical drives acting as one
[05:07] <Deadboys> jtaji no just file
[05:07] <marabout> I'm trying to apt-get install updated but keep getting error messages
[05:07] <Ronen> Anyone know about fixing video resolution problems??
[05:08] <Americun> did anyone answer my question?
[05:08] <Deadboys> mdg root     pts/1        Jan  5 04:15
[05:08] <Deadboys> then my ip and host
[05:08] <Americun> I asked what the best podcast manager is for ubuntu
[05:08] <nickrud> marabout, try  sudo apt-get -f install   if it fails, put the complete output on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[05:08] <jtaji> Deadboys: huh?
[05:08] <marabout> hello
[05:08] <provo> sorry for the silly question but when I open my usb flash drive in ubuntu 8.10 and delete a file from the drive how much my space is not freed up?   the only other way I know is to format the usb drive complete and I do not want to keep doing this
[05:08] <Deadboys> jtaji you asked a question i responded
[05:08] <Jack_Sparrow> provo, look for a .Trash folder on that drivve
[05:08] <mdg> Deadboys: then useradd is not in your path -- try /usr/sbin/adduser
[05:09] <marabout> im in root from recovery menu do i need to type 'sudo'?
[05:09] <Deadboys> when i tried /usr/sbin/adduser
[05:09] <mdg> Deadboys: then try /usr/sbin/adduser
[05:09] <nickrud> marabout, are you sure the package name is updated ? I'm not showing it as existing (and no about sudo in recovery)
[05:09] <Deadboys> mdg i tried  it
[05:09] <jp_sf> donavan: I wouldn't bother for the OS as it is the easiest things to recover but yes
[05:09] <LtL> Deadboys: youre missing the adduser in /usr/sbin/ try apt-get adduser
[05:09] <provo> jack:  i see it,  i see the files and just tried to delete them but after i delete them they come back
[05:10] <donavan> provo: did the same thing ... dump the trash ... it still in the trash bin and still takes up space .... it got me too at first
[05:10] <hckyplayer024> soooooo im trying to connect ubuntu to my wireless network. and if i change my network to WEP security it can find it no problem but when its WPA2 it wont find it at all.
[05:10] <Deadboys> LtL it says i already have it
[05:10] <PRIVATE_PARTY_EX> #surabaya
[05:10] <Deadboys> how can i remove it and reget it
[05:10] <provo> donavan: so what can i do to get rid of these files without formatting the entire flash drive again?
[05:10] <LtL> Deadboys: your whereis output doesnt agree with you
[05:10] <donavan> jp_sf: I was actuall thinking of the performance boost no so much the recovery aspect
[05:11] <Deadboys> root@axis:~# whereis adduser
[05:11] <Deadboys> adduser: /etc/adduser.conf /usr/share/adduser /usr/share/man/man8/adduser.8.gz
[05:11] <donavan> provo just delete them and then empty your trash can
[05:11] <jp_sf> donavan: I think it will not be significant
[05:11] <Deadboys> it says i already have it when i typed apt-get install adduser
[05:11] <jp_sf> hckyplayer024: have you tried Wicd ?
[05:12] <hckyplayer024> jp_sf: yeah i am actually using Wicd now
[05:12] <LtL> Deadboys: that doesnt show the adduser binary, just the conf and man pages
[05:12] <marabout> nickrud: info pasted
[05:12] <nickrud> marabout, I need the link :)
[05:12] <Deadboys> well its not letting me install it since it says i already have it
[05:12] <Deadboys> what should i do about that
[05:12] <donavan> sp_sf : thats what I was figuring but I wanted someone else to talk me down from jumping off the cliff
[05:12] <LtL> Deadboys: somehow its lost, force re-install w/apt-get
[05:12] <Wicked> !unetbootin
[05:12] <provo> donovan: thanks i see how that works now.. silly me
[05:12] <\kira> Deadboys: okay then. thats why im looking at the man page right now "adduser, addgroup - add a user or group to the system"
[05:12] <\kira> Deadboys: Exact quote
[05:12] <marabout> nickrud: not accessing irc from that machine as it is not ready trying to get ubuntu onto it
[05:13] <\kira> Deadboys: I just answered your question!
[05:13] <marabout> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/100056/
[05:13] <\kira> Deadboys: I just added a user to my system, just to be double sure
[05:13] <\kira> can anyone read this, or is my internet messed up again?
[05:13] <\kira> CarlFK: you can log in as root via sudo su, or sudo passwd to change the password
[05:13] <Deadboys> LtL how do i force re-install
[05:13] <\kira> can anybody read this?
[05:13] <marabout> \kira: i am reading it
[05:13] <LtL> Deadboys: let me look
[05:14] <CShadowRun> Does anyone know a reverse VNC server for ubuntu?
[05:14] <bullgard4> devices.txt calls (217,0) /dev/curf0 a "callout device for rfcomm0". What is a 'callout device'?
[05:14] <cafuego> a vnc client, you mean?
[05:14] <CShadowRun> cafuego no i mean a reverse VNC server
[05:14] <donavan> provo: don't feel bad it pissed me off for 20 mins or so first time I tried it
[05:14] <marabout> nickrud: was the link valid?
[05:14] <CShadowRun> cafuego that is, a server that connects to a client in order to traverse a NAT
[05:14] <nickrud> marabout, are you sure that's the complete name of the package? apt-cache search updated shows no package updated here, and I have good sources
[05:15] <cafuego> CShadowRun: I shouldn't think so.
[05:15] <CShadowRun> cafuego ?
[05:15] <cafuego> CShadowRun: Is this why we tunnel over ssh.
[05:15] <LtL> Deadboys: try sudo apt-get install adduser --reinstall
[05:15] <jp_sf> CShadowRun: only if the other end click on a file
[05:15] <marabout> nickrud: no im probably wrong - just trying to update which I assume is just apt-get update - correct
[05:15] <jp_sf> CShadowRun: otherwise I don't know
[05:15] <Deadboys> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[05:16] <CShadowRun> jp_sf yes the other end can install and do simple things
[05:16] <CShadowRun> jp_sf i'm just trying to help a friend and don't want to go through port forwarding.
[05:16] <jigpe> hello how to burn a movie?so that I could play it to my dvdcd component player
[05:16] <nickrud> marabout, yes. you typed updated :)   apt-get update will update any packages that have new releases, if you're on the net
[05:16] <LtL> Deadboys: i may have that syntax out of order
[05:16] <Deadboys> it installed
[05:16] <jp_sf> CShadowRun: I did that with x11vnc, but I did a port forwarding on my end
[05:16] <Deadboys> well
[05:16] <Deadboys> it started to
[05:16] <Deadboys> then i got that message
[05:17] <FloodBot2> Deadboys: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:17] <CShadowRun> jp_sf yes, exactly!, port forwarding at my end so the client can connect to me
[05:17] <CShadowRun> jp_sf how did you do it? :)
[05:17] <marabout> nickrud: you saw the link it does not appear to me that I am connected how can I check my connection?
[05:17] <Deadboys> LtL should i just do a fresh install of Ubuntu?
[05:18] <jigpe> how to burn an 651MB .avi movie into the blank cd?I tried to use gnome and brasero even k3b but no options for burning video...
[05:18] <nickrud> marabout, hm, brain fart. apt-get update gets the latest list of packages, apt-get upgrade gets any that have upgrades available.   apt-get update && apt-get upgrade   will do the trick
[05:18] <Deadboys> or Debian acctually since ubuntu gives me so many problems
[05:18] <WastePotato> How do I configure X to use the xserver-xorg-video-radeon driver? I have it installed, but changed to fglrx driver to see if there would be a difference in perfomance. I was wrong. -_-
[05:18] <yaris1234567890> how do i make wget download in the background? doing this doesn't work. wget -x -nH http://www.something.com > /dev/null &, this still outputs the whole download progress
[05:18] <cafuego> CShadowRun: Port forwarding is what you do on your router/gateway. You forward port XXX to the vnc port on the target server.
[05:18] <nickrud> marabout, ifconfig  will show any network connections. If you're in recovery mode, you would have to connect manually
[05:19] <nickrud> marabout, unless you've created a network config file,  /etc/network/interfaces  with the proper options
[05:19] <jp_sf> CShadowRun: yes so you do TCP port forward on your router port 5500 to the internal IP you want (of your computer I assume)install x11vnc on the other end at the friend linux then on your computer don't forget to vncviewer - listen 0  and that's it the remote friend needs to type x11vnc - connect your.current.ip:5500
[05:19] <cafuego> yaris1234567890: it does run in the background, but you forgot the -q flag for no output.
[05:19] <yaris1234567890> ohhhh
[05:19] <tbonechic> wow, there's a lot of ppl on here..
[05:19] <CShadowRun> jp_sf thank you, exactly what i wanted *hug*
[05:19] <yaris1234567890> wget -x -q -nH http://www.something.com > /dev/null &   ?
[05:20] <marabout> nickrud: no I have not created a network config file - what msg in the ifconfig output will indicate that I am connected
[05:21] <jp_sf> CShadowRun: you are welcome one thing though, it is quite often that people scan IP so when you don't need it put your firewall on
[05:21] <cyorxamp> Does anyone here have one of those pre-installed ubuntu's on a Dell laptop (maybe an inspiron 1525)... if so could you show me your xorg.conf please? :D
[05:21] <tbonechic> I have a question: I have mplayer and I run it through x11, but it never plays properly. :( any suggestions?
[05:21] <CShadowRun> jp_sf don't worry, i'm running a FreeBSD firewall, ;)
[05:21] <LtL> Deadboys: no i don't think thats needed. hang on
[05:21] <cafuego> or tunnel vnc over ssh, so it cna't be sniffed either
[05:21] <tbonechic> cryptnix: I have intrepid running on a latidude D630.  will that do?
[05:22] <Deadboys> LtL i got it sorted out
[05:22] <Deadboys> thanks though
[05:22] <nickrud> marabout, it formats as stanzas; lo is the loopback (internal machine) net, you most likely would have an eth0 stanza, with inet addr xx.xx.xx.xx in the second line of it.
[05:22] <jp_sf> CShadowRun: ipf is fine on your router or your machine ?
[05:22] <cyorxamp> tbonechic, if your talking to me, then does that use GM965 / X3100 intel graphics?#
[05:22] <CShadowRun> jp_sf i use pfSense on one of my old boxes, set it up last week :)
[05:22] <radicaljoe> marabout>Can you ping your router or gateway?
[05:22] <jp_sf> CShadowRun: I change the config on my router when it is not needed
[05:23] <tbonechic> cyorxamp: no. leme chek
[05:23] <CShadowRun> jp_sf yes i also do that, so no worries, i know my way around :)
[05:23] <marabout> nickrud: "Link encap: Local loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1"  is some of what the  text read
[05:23] <darren_> hi guys any one now how to use the net sharing tool for iphone with ubuntu?
[05:23] <jp_sf> CShadowRun: one thing you want to look also is port knocking it is quite useful
[05:23] <buck> hello ...
[05:24] <Deadboys> Would it be unwise to install Unreal IRCD 3.2.7 as root?
[05:24] <buck> having problems with restricted drivers 177
[05:24] <nickrud> marabout, yeah, that's the internal network. It doesn't see the internet. another stanza will show your connection to a router 192.xx.xx.xx most likely
[05:24] <buck> any good URL that really shows how to resolve the xorg issu
[05:24] <buck> e
[05:24] <tbonechic> cyorxamp: it's a GM965/GL960 intel graphics card.
[05:25] <cyorxamp> tbonechic, thats the one :D
[05:25] <tbonechic> would that be of any help
[05:25] <tbonechic> woot!
[05:25] <LtL> Deadboys: you need to be root/sudo to  install ircd
[05:25] <tbonechic> what is it that u need?
[05:25] <cyorxamp> tbonechic, the same 8.04 that came with it?
[05:25] <nickrud> Deadboys, install as root, but run it as a non-privileged user, the config probably has provisions for that
[05:25] <marabout> nickrud:  -- next info is mask no other info beyond RX, TX ,etc is shwoing. BTW my goal on irc is to get help to  wipe the existing 8.10 which isnt working and install Hardy via Live CD
[05:26] <tbonechic> cyorxamp: no, I installed it via LiveCD and upgraded to Intrepid
[05:26] <Deadboys> there isnt any provisions like that in the config for it
[05:26] <Deadboys> would it be bad to run as root?
[05:26] <HellFire-Au> Can anyone help me set up a bi-directional nat?
[05:26] <marabout> Nickrud: since I assume I cannot connect to Net this way since I have not set up a network config file as you mentioned previously correct?
[05:26] <joejc> i there a way i can save my files to some kind of internet drive. i used gmail on ubuntu
[05:26] <LtL> Deadboys: just install/edit  config and start as root.
[05:26] <joejc> is*
[05:26] <nickrud> marabout, simply boot up the cd and run the install on the same partition as the 8.10 install. Part of the default install is wiping out whatever was on the partition already :)
[05:26] <buck> Any news if they fixed the problem with the nvidia 177 drivers. everytime i try to activate it when i reboot just goes to a text screen
[05:27] <cyorxamp> tbonechic, might be worth a look anyway, just wondered if I could looksie at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[05:27] <LtL> Deadboys: once installed, use your ircd pass for priveleges
[05:27] <tbonechic> sure thing.  I'll msg u what I have once I copy it ^_^
[05:27] <nickrud> Deadboys, almost certainly
[05:27] <cyorxamp> tbonechic, pop it in a nopate
[05:27] <marabout> nickrud: i was hoping to use 8.04 alternate but after downloading it was 800+mb and can fit that on the cd's I have...
[05:27] <Deadboys> LtL what do you mean by that
[05:27] <tbonechic> cyorxamp: ...?
[05:28] <cyorxamp> tbonechic, http://paste.ubuntu.com
[05:28] <dft> what's the best way to restart nautilus without logging in and out again?
[05:28] <dft> or rebooting
[05:28] <yaris1234567890> wow i got banned from centos for ignoring an annoying fart
[05:28] <PriceChild> !offtopic | yaris1234567890
[05:28] <nickrud> marabout, something wrong with your download; the alternate iso is 699 mb
[05:28] <LtL> Deadboys: give yourself an O-line  with htpasswd and ip in ircd.conf  edit that file carefully
[05:28] <radicaljoe> marabout:Is you network interface wired of wifi?
[05:29] <LtL> Deadboys: just read the ircd.conf carefully.
[05:29] <Deadboys> Oh i didnt realise you were talking about that im very familiar to unreal ircd was just wondering if running it as root would cause any security issues
[05:29] <william56> during the cli's hardware detecting portion, it's sitting at 0%, and the screen has gone black, then gone white, then back to the hardware installation screen, and now it's all black with two lines that just say 'illed' at bottom
[05:29] <Nautilus___> Can anyone tell me how to install GD gfx toolkit on current ubuntu? I'm a *nix newb but have managed the whole LAMP stack but I guess GD is separate.
[05:30] <william56> anyone know what just happened to my install?
[05:30] <nickrud> Deadboys, running internet facing processes as root is dangerous; for example apache runs a www-data. But LtL obviously knows how unreal handles that security.
[05:30] <buck> ... is there a good URL that addresses the restricted drivers issue with the nvidia 177 drivers
[05:30] <LtL> Deadboys: it will be a root owned process thats all.

[05:30] <marabout> nickrud: yes I am using wifi
[05:31] <nickrud> marabout, if at all possible, wire up during the alternate install. It's much easier that way.
[05:31] <Deadboys> one more question can you give me the full syntax of the adduser command
[05:31] <dft> or rebooting
[05:31] <dft> what's the best way to restart nautilus without logging in and out again?
[05:31] <dft> or rebooting
[05:31] <buck> ... is there a good URL that addresses the restricted drivers issue with the nvidia 177 drivers
[05:31] <nickrud> dft, alt-f2  killall nautilus ; it should restart automatically
[05:32] <marabout> nickrud: you are referring to the machine I am going to install on Yes?
[05:32] <nickrud> marabout, yes
[05:32] <radicaljoe> marabout>I'm trying to get my wifi working.  Its not always easy with linux.
[05:32] <cuddlefish> How do you reinstall python?
[05:32] <cyorxamp> Nautilus___, it's in the repo's... it'll begin with php in the name and gd somewhere :D
[05:32] <dft> nickrud: k, ty
[05:32] <marabout> ncikrud: as I downloaded the file on another machine
[05:32] <cyorxamp> Nautilus___, php5-gd
[05:32] <Nautilus___> cyorxamp: not seeing it. looked for stucff like php5-gd
[05:32] <william56> is there a way to access the cli command from a regular ubuntu install cd?
[05:32] <cyorxamp> Nautilus___, it's in my repo
[05:33] <Daejeo> hello guys greeting :)
[05:33] <Daejeo> happy new year
[05:33] <Nautilus___> cyorxamp: I go from phpgacl to to php-geshi
[05:33] <WastePotato> How do I configure X to use the xserver-xorg-video-radeon driver? I have it installed, but changed to fglrx driver to see if there would be a difference in perfomance. I was wrong. -_-
[05:33] <marabout> nickrud: so just exit root pop in Hardy CD and reboot making sure Hardy Cd is the boot CD?
[05:33] <nickrud> marabout, yep
[05:33] <cyorxamp> Nautilus___, http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/php5-gd
[05:33] <cyorxamp> Nautilus___, then your missing some repo's I'd guess
[05:33] <tbonechic> cyorxamp: and it's sent ^_^
[05:34] <joejc>  is there a way i can save my files to some kind of Internet drive. i used gmail on xp
[05:34] <buck> ... is there a good URL that addresses the restricted drivers issue with the nvidia 177 drivers
[05:34] <LtL> WastePotato: you need to uninstall fglrx, i forgot myself, i hated it
[05:34] <tbonechic> would anyone know as to why x11 might be broken?
[05:34] <marabout> nickrud: will this automatically be a LiveCD install or am I missing or misunderstanding something re: LiveCD versus install
[05:34] <gnu2it2> what is good way to backup my desktop to bootable cd/dvd ? I do not need an enterprise setup
[05:34] <orkan> Hey guys... I somehow created a hardlink to a directory... and now I cannot remove it. Is there a way?
[05:34] <nickrud> marabout, if it's a desktop iso it will be the livecd install, yes. The alternate will give you a text installer.
[05:35] <HermanDE> Has anybody been successful with bzflag on 8.10?
[05:35] <HellFire-Au> Can anyone help me set up a bi-directional nat?
[05:35] <cyorxamp> tbonechic, thats your -complete- xorg.conf? it's missing loads
[05:35] <WastePotato> Yep. Done that. I have no Compiz. :(
[05:35] <darren_> hi guys any one now how to use the net sharing tool(iphonemodem2) for iphone with ubuntu?
[05:35] <Ian00> orkan: its not possible to do that
[05:35] <jtaji> orkan: unlink
[05:35] <Ian00> and if you did, you would just delete it
[05:36] <Nautilus___> cyorxamp: do you know which repo it's in? I have main and universe ON, multiverse OFF
[05:36] <tbonechic> cyorxamp: ... that what I got. I'll check again
[05:36] <marabout> nickrud: just pulled Cd out of my laptop bag and it is labeled 7.1 -that is still Hardy right? BTW im installing onto a laptop
[05:36] <orkan> unlink tells me that "it is a directory"
[05:36] <nickrud> marabout, no, hardy is 8.04
[05:36] <orkan> and somehow if I create a file in this folder it appears in another one that I hard linked to
[05:36] <cyorxamp> Nautilus___, no idea... use that ubuntu link I gave you - my servers don't run something as silly as Ubuntu, Debian all the way
[05:36] <nickrud> marabout, and it makes no difference if it is a laptop or desktop
[05:36] <orkan> and ls does not show it as being a symlink
[05:37] <cyorxamp> tbonechic, no it has all the right sections, just bugger all in each of them
[05:37] <buck> ... is there a good URL that addresses the restricted drivers issue with the nvidia 177 drivers
[05:37] <buck> ... is there a good URL that addresses the restricted drivers issue with the nvidia 177 drivers
[05:37] <buck> ... is there a good URL that addresses the restricted drivers issue with the nvidia 177 drivers
[05:37] <FloodBot2> buck: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:37] <Ian00> orkan, rm -rf dir
[05:37] <WastePotato> So. Anyone have any ideas?
[05:37] <Nautilus___> cyorxamp: yes the link is most helpful, tx!  Just need this box for a couple weeks (a project)
[05:37] <Wicked> i need to use the alternative cd to install ubuntu...but i have no working cdrom...how can i install with the alternative cd?
[05:37] <orkan> heh, but I want the data to be preserved...
[05:37] <orkan> I need just the link to be removed
[05:37] <joejc> is there a program that will autamaticly sync files with a website
[05:37] <orkan> if I try to rename - mv says it is being used
[05:38] <marabout> nickrud: oh yeah that's right too much info in the head. We'll I've got either 7.1 or 8.10 and 8.10 wont display graphics after the install - what do you suggest?
[05:38] <HermanDE> Wicked: Use a netboot.....
[05:38] <nickrud> !install > Wicked (there are some non-cdrom techniques here)
[05:38] <Ian00> orkan, like i said, which you ignored. its not possible for it to be a hard link. you can't hard link directories
[05:38] <Ian00> do
[05:38] <orkan> although I can rename the actual folder no problem
[05:38] <Daejeo> i want to make an image consist of ubunto base files and certain more voip applications. if user wants to install it from cd, and then the installation should go smoothly and automatically.  can i see how to doc?
[05:38] <Ian00> $ file your_directory
[05:38] <nickrud> marabout, what video card? How many video cards in the machine?
[05:38] <cyorxamp> OK Does anyone here have a PRE-installed Dell Laptop?
[05:38] <Wicked> HermanDE, the netboot has the same options as the alternative cd? i need to be able to encrypt the driver during install...which only the alternative cd offers
[05:39] <sohail> is there a dummies guide to creating installation packages for ubuntu
[05:39] <marabout> nickrud: via chrome9 HC IGP - 1 card as far as I  know
[05:39] <HermanDE> Wicked: that should have been.... PXEBOOT...
[05:39] <bullgard4> devices.txt calls (217,0) /dev/curf0 a "callout device for rfcomm0". What is a 'callout device'?
[05:39] <HermanDE> Wicked: It is a method of booting a device from a network server....
[05:39] <nickrud> marabout, ah, chrome9. I have had really bad luck helping people with that in intrepid ;(
[05:39] <Wicked> HermanDE, hmm..im not sure i understand what u are saying.
[05:39] <HermanDE> Wicked: Then installing from the server...
[05:40] <HermanDE> Wicked: Most newer systems have the ability to boot from the network.
[05:40] <Foncy> Hey folks, is there any way to unmount a partition that uses /home as mountpoint?
[05:40] <tbonechic> um, whoever needed the backup on CD/DVD, I think this might help: http://tinyurl.com/862ozm
[05:40] <Wicked> HermanDE, yea. i know what a netinstall is. but im wondering if it provides what i need.
[05:40] <HermanDE> Wicked: As well as booting from a USB device....
[05:40] <marabout> nickrud: ive seen problems listed that is why i was trying to go with hardy alternate
[05:41] <Foncy> It always tells me that it's used by some processes, but obviously I can't kill all of them :)
[05:41] <HermanDE> Wicked: Full install without the use of a cdrom...
[05:41] <marabout> mickrud: my alternative is 7.1
[05:41] <tbonechic> cyorxamp: bugger?
[05:41] <Daejeo> i want to make an image consist of ubunto base files and certain more voip applications. if user wants to install it from cd, and then the installation should go smoothly and automatically.  can i see how to doc?
[05:41] <cyorxamp> tbonechic, it's british slang :D
[05:41] <tbonechic> I'm slightly new in retrieving info from .conf files :p
[05:41] <tbonechic> cyorxamp: lol
[05:41] <cyorxamp> tbonechic, "bugger all" = "nothing at all"
[05:41] <joljam> how  can i check what version of java is installed on my ubuntu intrpid
[05:41] <tbonechic> ooooo.
[05:41] <joljam> I wanty to do it from the command line
[05:42] <tbonechic> thanks for the clarification!
[05:42] <marabout> nickrud: i read something about 'compiling' which I know even less about. take a look at this for me if u can: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=504849
[05:42] <nickrud> bullgard4, the way I'm reading that is it's the outgoing device
[05:42] <Foncy> You could at least say: Foncy, I have no idea... :(
[05:42] <HermanDE> joljam: man java
[05:42] <nickrud> marabout, I don't need to look, I've seen it.
[05:42] <Foncy> So I am still hoping for some help.... anyone?
[05:42] <BenWhitey> how do i go about making my server install run a script/run a program on boot??
[05:43] <nickrud> marabout, or maybe not that exact thread, but many of them.
[05:43] <marabout> nickrud: so that wont work either I take it?
[05:43] <HermanDE> Foncy: Have you tried setting the partition to Read only first?
[05:43] <Foncy> Hello?
[05:43] <joljam> man java just gives me lot of help info
[05:43] <nickrud> marabout, it can be done. People have done it, but I've not had luck helping with it is all I'm saying
[05:43] <Foncy> Err, no, how do I do that, HermanDE?
[05:43] <bullgard4> nickrud: Ah! Thank you very much for commenting.
[05:43] <joljam> it does not give me any inof on the version
[05:44] <HermanDE> joljam: Do you see where it talks about the version?
[05:44] <joljam> nope
[05:45] <HermanDE> joljam: mount partitionname -o remount,ro
[05:45] <Foncy> Uh, that was for me, right?
[05:45] <marabout> nickrud: we'll I'm going to try via 7.1 and see what that gives me. no harm in that I suppose?
[05:45] <HermanDE> Foncy: Yep....
[05:45] <nickrud> marabout, heh. Not like it costs anything :)
[05:45] <HermanDE> joljam: man java
[05:46] <HermanDE> joljam: Search for "version".
[05:46] <HermanDE> joljam: use the forward slash, type in "version", press enter...  Press "N" for the next find....
[05:47] <LtL> joljam: type java -version
[05:47] <Foncy> HermanDE, "/home is currently in use"... that's all I get.
[05:47] <HermanDE> Foncy: use lsof to find what is currently in use....
[05:48] <ougs> I need to create a ubuntu installation CD that i can use to install a server with. The server does not have a screen so there should be no interaction ata ll. any tips?
[05:48] <Foncy> HermanDE, I used fuser -m to find that out, and it's processes that I just can't kill, like the gnome-panel..
[05:48] <gvsa123> has anyone tried using grisbi on ubuntu?
[05:48] <HermanDE> ougs: Serial cable.....
[05:48] <Foncy> I just can't get tha partition not to be used.
[05:48] <tbonechic> cyorxamp: I think the reason I don't have anything is because xserver-conf isn't installed--which may solve my other problem...
[05:48] <nite_johnboy> Hi - Just installed a HP LaserJet 1020 - Ibex found it right away when turned on but will not print a test page - Do I need to do a restart of computer ? ?
[05:48] <Foncy> That's my problem
[05:49] <HermanDE> Foncy: did you set the partition to READ ONLY?
[05:49] <william56> anyone know why hardware detection on the ubuntu minimal cd would be screwing up?
[05:49] <HermanDE> Foncy: or did it error out when you tried to set it...
[05:49] <Foncy> No... that's why I asked you earlier how I do that, HermanDE...
[05:49] <Foncy> And then I did what you told me, and it told me that /home is currently in usw.
[05:49] <nite_johnboy> !printer
[05:49] <Foncy> use
[05:50] <HellFire-Au> can someone help me setup a bi-directional nat?
[05:50] <william56> it says 'detecting hardware, please wait' and never gets past 0%, and the screen keeps flasdhing black while it's doing it
[05:50] <william56> and it's saying 'killed'
[05:50] <HermanDE> Foncy: check your mount command.  Are there any flags set on the partition?
[05:50] <BenWhitey> how do i go about making my server install run a script/run a program on boot??
[05:50] <sloopy> WastePotato, can you paste bin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[05:50] <Foncy> HermanDE, you mean like "boot", "lba" etc?
[05:51] <HermanDE> Foncy: Then use lsof and filter for your home partition....
[05:51] <Foncy> No flags there.
[05:51] <vigognome> BenWhitey: Do you mean from startup?
[05:51] <HermanDE> Foncy: The flags would be something like ro,rw, and possibly masks..
 yes
[05:52] <Finnish> Anyone converted avchd-files with success? I'd need some help
[05:52] <LtL> nite_johnboy: whip open a browser type http://localhost:631  to test your printer
[05:52] <WastePotato> K.
[05:52] <HermanDE> Foncy: and may include noexec, nosudo....
[05:52] <Foncy> HermanDE, but why use lsof when I already KNOW what processes are using the partition I need to unmount?
[05:53] <nickrud> !boot | BenWhitey (or add your own script to /etc/init.d/, see man update-rc.d
[05:53] <HermanDE> Foncy: Usually, if the partition is set to read only, the processes will error out if they attempt to write....
[05:53] <WastePotato> http://paste.ubuntu.com/100075/
[05:54] <Foncy> HermanDE, okaaaaaaaaaaaaay... so HOW do I set the partition to read-only?
[05:54] <HermanDE> Foncy: mount (mount or partition name) -o remount,ro
[05:54] <nsadmin> how to find if tdom is packaged for ubuntu and what versions are in what version of ubuntu
[05:54] <Foncy> Obviously I can't do that if the partition is used, soooo I have to make it not being used first, before I can tell processes only to read, right?
[05:54] <Foncy> Oh my...
[05:54] <Foncy> Okay, I repeat slowly:
[05:55] <nickrud> Foncy, why not just kill the processes?
[05:55] <chiranka> hi there, I just upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10, now all of the tooltip popup windows are black,  this seems to be independent of compiz, any ideas?
[05:55] <Foncy> It doesnt work!
[05:55] <Foncy> Because the partition is USED
[05:55] <BenWhitey> thanks !!!
[05:55] <Foncy> nickrud, because unfortunately some of the processes restart themselves after killing, like the gnome-panel ofc... =/
[05:55] <HermanDE> Foncy: Usually, a remount,ro will work fine....
[05:55] <nsadmin> look at fuser to see what process use a partition
[05:55] <Foncy> HermanDE, maybe, but it doesn't.
[05:55] <vigognome> From Startup: I do not know if this is what you wanted, but is close: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-33615.html
[05:55] <Foncy> Can't help it, I'd love to.
[05:55] <HermanDE> Foncy: What is the process locking the drive?
[05:56] <nickrud> Foncy, then log out of gnome, and work from a console
[05:56] <nsadmin> what is it you're trying to do exactly?
[05:56] <sloopy> WastePotato, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100076/
[05:56] <HermanDE> Foncy: Are you working from within X?
[05:56] <sloopy> WastePotato, try that change...
[05:56] <Foncy> HermanDE, many of them.. like gnome-panel (3rd time I mention this now)
[05:56] <nickrud> Foncy, you'll have to log in as root, probably, to not have any processes accessing any partitions under /home
[05:56] <HermanDE> Foncy: Are you working from a non root account?
[05:57] <Foncy> HermanDE, X?
[05:57] <cuddlefish> Foncy: kill -9?
[05:57] <HermanDE> Foncy: Geeze, Ok, I got here late....
[05:57] <Foncy> HermanDE, yes... but sudo su, and then umount doesn't work either.
[05:57] <vigognome> Where is the pastebin at?>
[05:57] <HermanDE> Foncy: gnome has a really nice database locking system....
[05:57] <nickrud> Foncy, you're trying to unmount the partition mounted as /home ?
[05:57] <nsadmin> foncy what is it you're trying to do exactly?
[05:57] <marabout> nickrud: can you tell me what deleting the "quiet splash" does when installing from CD
[05:57] <php_wizardry> I have just installed ubuntu and installed the restricted drivers for a 9500 GT video card, which upon reboot, no more gui, start x don't work. Anyone able to help?
[05:58] <nickrud> marabout, it gets rid of the moving bar during bootup, and shows all the kernel boot messages on the screen
[05:58] <Foncy> nickrud, exactly, because I want to take some space from it for a new partition.
[05:58] <buck> I am in need of a LINUX restricted driver WIZARD
[05:58] <php_wizardry> nickrud: you remember what you did for me the other day?
[05:58] <HermanDE> Foncy: you need to be at the command line....
[05:58] <cuddlefish> foncy: try killing X, and logging in as root.
[05:58] <HermanDE> Foncy: without XWindows running....
[05:58] <LtL> php_wizardry: try 'startx'
[05:58] <HermanDE> Foncy: And without GNOME....
[05:58] <php_wizardry> already did
[05:58] <nickrud> Foncy, you'll need to boot into recovery mode and work from there, or use a root account if you've enabled it, or use a live cd
[05:58] <dbz_vegita> is it possible to install linux on a usb hdd
[05:58] <nickrud> php_wizardry, not positively ;)
[05:58] <sloopy> WastePotato, go it?
[05:59] <dbz_vegita> in such a way tht when the comp is started it gives an option to boot from the USB HDD
[05:59] <blah569> How would I give myself permission to create this directory?  Command:	MKD /var/www/lib/inc
[05:59] <blah569> Response:	550 Create directory operation failed.
[05:59] <php_wizardry> lol, i reinstalled ubuntu, went to 32bit because of some probs with the 64bit
[05:59] <Foncy> nickrud, got a Live-CD here, so I boot from there and then resize the partition?
[05:59] <WastePotato> Oh.
[05:59] <chiranka> figured it out, thanks
[05:59] <php_wizardry> now need to reinstall the driver for my vid. card again
[05:59] <WastePotato> sloopy: Yeah. Thanks. :)
[05:59] <nickrud> Foncy, that works, especially if you want to use gparted
[05:59] <HermanDE> Foncy: Yep, that is the best way...
[05:59] <sloopy> WastePotato, let me know how it works
[05:59] <nsadmin> Foncy what kind of partition is it
[05:59] <nickrud> php_wizardry, heh. That doesn't narrow it down much
[06:00] <nsadmin> file system on the partition
[06:00] <Foncy> Perfect... see guys, THAT'S what I call a helpful answer :P
[06:00] <Foncy> nsadmin, ext3
[06:00] <nickrud> php_wizardry, no offense meant, I prefer to stay in mainline
[06:00] <vigognome> ! pastebin
[06:00] <nsadmin> Foncy: you're tending to not provide info when beind asked... it takes two to tango
[06:00] <php_wizardry> nickrud: i have that 9500GT video card, and when I enabled the 177 restricted driver, it crashed my gui on reboot
[06:01] <php_wizardry> nickrud: now stuck at command prompt
[06:01] <nickrud> php_wizardry, ah, that I remember I think
[06:01] <Foncy> So far I answered every question, most of them three times because I was asked three times :(
[06:01] <nsadmin> Foncy: you're trying to increase or decrease /home?
[06:01] <Foncy> decrease
[06:01] <php_wizardry> nickrud: do you remember the commands to fix it?
[06:01] <marabout> nickrud: and the acpi=off noacpi nolacpi stuff can you tell me what that means in relation to my situation with via chrome9?
[06:01] <nickrud> php_wizardry, you're the guy with two video cards, right?
[06:01] <php_wizardry> yea
[06:01] <nsadmin> ok, how do you normally log in? do you see a graphical screen or a text?
[06:01] <Foncy> Like I said before..
[06:01] <php_wizardry> nickrud: yea
[06:01] <Foncy> Graphical screen
[06:02] <Foncy> I type in my loginname and the password
[06:02] <nickrud> marabout, not really. I've never had to use those for my machine so I've never really looked into what they do, exactly
[06:02] <nsadmin> ok, then here's what you do...
[06:02] <Foncy> I'm listening :)
[06:02] <nsadmin> first, install a text irc client like irssi or bitchx
[06:02] <nickrud> php_wizardry, add    BusID "2:0:0" to the Device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:02] <Foncy> And taking notes..
[06:02] <marabout> nickrud: how do I query the bot?
[06:02] <nickrud> marabout,    /msg ubottu factoid
[06:03] <blah569> How would I give the user account permission to create a directory in "/var/www/?"  I receive a failed to MK DIR in the ftp client.
[06:03] <nickrud> marabout, that will open a new dialog window you can continue to talk to ubottu. There, you don't use the ! at the beginning of the factoid
[06:03] <php_wizardry> nickrud: was that all i had to do chief?
[06:03] <nsadmin> blah569: add it to the www-data group, maybe that do it
[06:03] <HermanDE> blah569: Which ftp server are you using?
[06:03] <Foncy> Which would be another load of commands I need to learn in order to use the program :(
[06:03] <nsadmin> let me see...
[06:03] <nickrud> php_wizardry, yep. All that messing around, that's all that was needed. X was trying to use the onboard chip
[06:03] <nsadmin> you'll have to come back here as root
[06:03] <donavan> what can I use to do a drive confidence test ?
[06:04] <php_wizardry> nickrud: thanks man, thank god one of us remembered :P
[06:04] <Foncy> nsadmin, so you think nickruds idea won't work?
[06:04] <nickrud> php_wizardry, I've used our long, drawn out troubleshooting as an example of how not asking the right question is FAIL on my part :)
[06:04] <nsadmin> I don't know :)
[06:04] <HermanDE> donavan: Download a builders drive test disk.....  Maxtor, WD, Seagate...etc...
[06:04] <php_wizardry> lol
[06:04] <nsadmin> probably it will but I didn't see his idea
[06:04] <blah569> HermanDE:  vftpd or something similar to that name.
[06:04] <Foncy> I think I'm going to try that first, sounds a  lot easier.
[06:04] <php_wizardry> ty again
[06:05] <nickrud> nsadmin, Foncy heh. Just download the gparted Live CD and use that :)
[06:05] <nsadmin> I was thinking maybe he didn't want to reboot
[06:05] <joejc> is there a ftp program that automaticly syncs folder with server?
[06:05] <Foncy> She does want to reboot a million times if necessary :)
[06:05] <neil_d> the sound on my computer has stoped working, when I boot off the CD it goes OK.  how can I get it to work again ?
[06:05] <nsadmin> so she doesn't care about that, ok
[06:05] <HermanDE> Foncy: There are a couple of CD based distros that are designed for things like resizing partitions.....
[06:06] <Foncy> HermanDE, orly?
[06:06] <Foncy> :)
[06:06]  * nickrud looks at deciphering parted's command line switches, vs reboot. HAAHAHAHA
[06:06] <HermanDE> Foncy: Yep....  Kind of like a free partition magic thing....
[06:06] <Foncy> Exactly nickrud :D
[06:06] <Foncy> HermanDE, we are at that point already in this conversation.
[06:06] <nsadmin> Foncy: do you have any interest in trying lvm?
[06:06] <nite_johnboy> LtL; That is real nice - Tried doing another test page from URL and screen justs blinks a half a millisecond and does not do print job - Using HP LaserJet 1020 Foomatic/foo2zjs (recommended) driver.
[06:06] <Foncy> lvm?
[06:07] <donavan> hermande: yeah I have a bunch of them on various cds but I was hoping for a linux based util that I can run on the OS rather than having to reboot the machine and hookup the drive to an IDE port right now I have it connected to a USB  connector
[06:07] <nsadmin> it's a way to make this whole process easier in the future
[06:07] <LtL> nite_johnboy: from the command line type: ls |lpr
[06:07] <nsadmin> but it would be hard to set up if you're already running
[06:07] <HermanDE> Foncy: I'm slow......  http://gparted.sourceforge.net/news.php
[06:08] <Prez00> hello
[06:08] <raylu> !sound neil_d
[06:08] <nsadmin> how to find if tdom is packaged for ubuntu and what versions are in what version of ubuntu
[06:08] <raylu> !sound | neil_d
[06:08] <raylu> nsadmin: use your package manager
[06:08] <marabout> nickrud: I think that  ubottu dude need to go back to school He didn't understand a thing I was talking about. LOL
[06:08] <WastePotato> Back. No dice.
[06:09] <Prez00> i am running latest Ubuntu, but with latest kernel and am getting a crash in what seems to be e1000 module, what channel should I try o try and ifgure this out?
[06:09] <nsadmin> I'm running debian, I want to find out for ubuntu
[06:09] <raylu> nsadmin: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[06:09] <nickrud> marabout, it should give you a link to a web site you can search. The bot is useful, if you already know what it's been taught
[06:09] <Foncy> nsadmin, the most rocky way isn't always the hardest for me. I think saying what way is the easiest depends on the users knowledge, and mine isn't exactly huge... :)
[06:10] <raylu> WastePotato: if you want to use the free ati driver, you can just remove your xorg.conf
[06:10] <raylu> WastePotato: though i'd recommend renaming it, of course
[06:10] <nite_johnboy> LtL; Not getting return of anything - just comes back to comp. name@comp.name-desktop: blink blink < no output >
[06:10] <LtL> nite_johnboy: also in menu: click system - prefs - set default printer
[06:10] <HermanDE> Foncy: Everybody needs to destroy a fixed number of partitions before lessons turn to wisdom.....
[06:10] <nite_johnboy> LtL; 1st thing I tried.
[06:11] <Deadboys> does anyone know the name of the package that contains the openssl development libraries
[06:11] <HermanDE> Foncy: In my case I think I'm up to about 30 or 35...  The wisdom has yet to arrive.....
[06:11] <Deadboys> im trying to install it via aptget and i cant remember the name of it
[06:11] <Foncy> HermanDE, that would be awful! I installed and reinstalled Ubuntu a lot of times already, but never lost any data.
[06:11] <nite_johnboy> LtL; System-Preferences - that is....
[06:11] <HermanDE> Foncy: I'm talking about resizing live partitions.....
[06:11] <Deadboys> its not openssl-dev does anyone know what it is?
[06:11] <raylu> Deadboys: libssl-dev, i think
[06:12] <Deadboys> alright thanks
[06:12] <Deadboys> thats it raylu
[06:12] <Deadboys> i remembered it was somthing -dev
[06:12] <bobbie4> Okay strange problem with Ubuntu that I can't figure out. When I hook up my external USB creative sound card it will only play audio for events where I hover the cursor over a ogg or mp3 file. Other than that sound only comes from the laptop speakers. I've been through every setting in Preferences -> Sound to no available. Also the sound is only in Mono and in volume control when I select the USB sound device I only have one PCM slide
[06:12] <trolls> italian?????????
[06:12] <bobbie4> r. Any thoughts?
[06:12] <Deadboys> thanks again
[06:12] <LtL> nite_johnboy: try system - admin - new printer or have you already?
[06:12] <presdec> would appreciate some help, how can i change the gnome panel font? all the forum topics etc i google'd looked out of date <-2007..
[06:12] <HermanDE> Foncy: With the right backup, it's easy to recover....
[06:12] <raylu> !it | trolls
[06:12] <nsadmin> xfs is going to get shrink support, right now it doesn't have it, but when it does you can shrink or grow live with the partition mounted
[06:13] <Foncy> nickrud, Live_CD is burning atm... so I just boot from that CD and use gparted as usual?
[06:13] <nickrud> Foncy, yep.
[06:13] <raylu> bobbie4: to set a default sound device, i think you have to edit the indicies in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[06:13] <darren_> is there an australian room for ubuntu?
[06:13] <Foncy> Gee, that's so sweet.
[06:14] <Foncy> Thanks in advance nickrud, for hope :D
[06:14] <HermanDE> darren_: Isn't this a South African room?
[06:14] <nickrud> !au | darren_
[06:14] <tbonechic> l8rz!
[06:14] <raylu> darren_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam
[06:14] <Foncy> Alright, I'm going to test it right away... see you in a couple of minutes if you're interested in the result guys. ;)
[06:15] <php_wizardry> nickrud: :(
[06:15] <HermanDE> Foncy: Have fun...
[06:15] <nickrud> php_wizardry, what?
[06:15] <Foncy> I hopefully will.
[06:15] <Foncy> brb
[06:15] <HermanDE> Foncy: And remember...  Data is imaginary.....
[06:15] <php_wizardry> nickrud: that wasn't it
[06:15] <marabout> nickrud: if I wanted to specify boot parameters I would stick in the line after "quiet splash"?
[06:15] <php_wizardry> nickrud:still not working
[06:15] <raylu> marabout: you shouldn't edit those. edit defoptions instead
[06:16] <nickrud> php_wizardry, I know :) But you left before I remembered.   sudo apt-get install nvidial-glx-177 , and add    Driver "nvidia"  to the Device Section
[06:16] <nsadmin> marabout: if you're running grub, the kernel command line would be in /boot/grub/menu.lst (default place)
[06:16] <php_wizardry> lol
[06:16] <nite_johnboy> LtL; Yes tried that as well - not sure what's going on here - What about the nothing returned from shell command ?
[06:17] <nickrud> marabout, yes. The proper method is to add it to the line that starts with   # defoptions  , then sudo apt-get update-grub. That will make sure those are added to the kernel line properly with each kernel upgrade
[06:17] <raylu> nickrud: no apt-get
[06:17] <bobbie4> i'll try raylu
[06:17] <nsadmin> it would add them to each kernel
[06:17] <php_wizardry> nickrud: sorry, i was in vista and am right now, so i will have to leave and go back to ubuntu, will have this written down this time, ty again
[06:17] <nickrud> raylu, heh. This is why I don't normally help more than one at a time :)  marabout   just   sudo update-grub
[06:17] <LtL> nite_johnboy: the shell cmd was to test the line printer daemon, google for the correct driver or check hardware compat lists. i dunno
[06:17] <vigognome> I plunkered some KDE stuff into this install, should I remove it, and if so,,how?
[06:17] <nickrud> php_wizardry, no problem
[06:18] <marabout> nickrud: so if I want to input this "boot: live vga=771 noapic nolapic where do I need to input that? bypass the install screen somehow? can you explain plz
[06:18] <php_wizardry> nickrud: btw, how can you connect to wifi through command prompt?
[06:18] <raylu> nickrud: installing nvidia-glx should install nvidia-glx-177 and later versions
[06:18] <marabout> nickrud: F6 other options?
[06:18] <raylu> nickrud: and you shouldn't have to add the driver yourself to xorg.conf
[06:18] <nickrud> raylu, thanks.
[06:18] <nickrud> raylu, the install of the driver does that, alone?
[06:19] <mikebot> Does ubuntu come with helvetica fonts?
[06:19] <nsadmin> marabout oh, that's the live cd?
[06:19] <raylu> nickrud: i don't remember. but if it doesn't, nvidia-xconfig does it for you
[06:19] <marabout> nsadmin: yes 7.1
[06:19] <nickrud> raylu, the issue was he couldn't even get to a gui without the nvidia driver, the nv doesn't support his card
[06:20] <nsadmin> marabout, I'm not sure how you would save those options to a live cd
[06:20] <presdec> any ideas on the gnome panel font? gnome channels real quiet :P also my in built 4-1card reader doesn't appear at all, any ideas?
[06:20] <nickrud> marabout, save for a live cd? You can't
[06:20] <nsadmin> but if you have linux installed, then you could alter the boot loader config file
[06:20] <bobbie4> raylu: what you suggested looks promising, but I'll have to learn 'Linux' first. I can't understand a single thing in that file.
[06:20] <HermanDE> nsadmin: usage of a USB device...
[06:20] <nickrud> marabout, but for just editing the kernel line, yes at the end of quiet splash
[06:20] <LtL> mikebot: try installing msttcorefonts package
[06:21] <Foncy> *grins*
[06:21] <raylu> !sound | bobbie4
[06:21] <Foncy> Didn't work yet.
[06:21] <mikebot> LtL: Thanks. Will they be useable in gimp?
[06:21] <nsadmin> HermanDE: so it's a live usb stick?
[06:21] <Foncy> Didn't want to boot from the Live-CD :(
[06:21] <raylu> bobbie4: there should be a driver with the word "usb" in it. set it to 0 or 1
[06:21] <HermanDE> Foncy: What happened....
[06:21] <marabout> nsadmin: 8.10 is there beneath but it wont load correctly (graphics probs -via chrome9 hc igp
[06:21] <bobbie4> thank you raylu I'll look there
[06:21] <raylu> bobbie4: or pastebin that file for me (i don't have it handy)
[06:21] <mikebot> LtL: I already have the newest version..
[06:21] <HermanDE> nsadmin: Some live distros allow saving settings to a usb device....
[06:21] <nsadmin> oic
[06:22] <DasEi> ﻿nickrud:generic vesa mostly gives a basic (gui-able) solution for configuration
[06:22] <LtL> mikebot: i kinda doubt it, search in synaptic for gimp packages
[06:22] <marabout> nickrud: so no reason to remove "quiet splash" just type after it?
[06:22] <nickrud> marabout, yes
[06:22] <Foncy> HermanDE, I tried to boot from the gparted-Live CD, went to the boot menu, chose the drive, hit Return, but all that happend was Ubuntu starting....
[06:22] <Foncy> +e
[06:22] <HermanDE> Foncy: Now you have me interested...  I've used that disk a few times.......
[06:22] <HermanDE> I'll boot it here....
[06:23] <Foncy> Im trying again, brb
[06:23] <Daejeo> nirik: the system is locking the root access on console, and flashing blue screen
[06:23] <raylu> Foncy, HermanDE: why are you using a gparted live cd? what's wrong with gparted on ubuntu?
[06:23] <nite_johnboy> LtL; When I checked URL page again I clicked on "Show all jobs " and it shows printer name HP Laserjet - 1020 - 4,5,6,7,8,9 - consecutively after each test print - When I click on " Show active jobs " - It shows none. So they do not seem to stuck in a que - but just not going through with job.  - Will close everything down and try a restart - not sure what else to do at this point....
[06:23] <nickrud> DasEi, does vesa support the 9500gt? not sure myself. Anyway, we came at his solution the first time (since he couldn't get a gui at all) by adding the driver stuff manually, then finally discovering he had two video cards and we needed to add the BusID.
[06:23] <syn-fin> how do i hardcode dns servers into ubuntu 8.04 from CLI? I want to get IP and netmask from DHCP but DNS record to stay the same all the time?
[06:23] <mikebot> LtL: Thanks. G'night!
[06:23] <LtL> nite_johnboy: ive had that problem and it kinda fixed itself
[06:24] <Daejeo> nirik: passwd --lock root &> /dev/null
[06:24] <raylu> syn-fin: /etc/network/interfaces, though you're better off using NetworkManager
[06:24] <nsadmin> syn-fin: maybe you can configure your dhcp client
[06:24] <DasEi> ﻿nickrud:should work as a (emergency) solution
[06:24] <nite_johnboy> LtL; Thank you for your help. Appreciate it.
[06:24] <presdec> can u read this?
[06:24] <nsadmin> to not supply dns servers
[06:24] <raylu> presdec: no
[06:24] <DasEi> ﻿nickrud:ibex ?
[06:24] <LtL> nite_johnboy: welcome
[06:24] <nsadmin> presdec: I can't read at all
[06:24] <presdec> lol, ok guess that's ok then :)
[06:24] <nickrud> DasEi, yes. X tried to use the onboard chip
[06:24] <nite_johnboy> LtL; Will work on it awhile - maybe restart will be the Cure All - ???
[06:25] <HermanDE> raylu: I like specalized tools.  I have too much experience using general toolkits and toasting drives......
[06:25] <nickrud> DasEi, I've used our long, drawn out troubleshooting as an example of how not asking the right question is FAIL on my part :)
[06:25] <DasEi> ﻿nickrud:hm, monitor onboard, then via gui, harwaredrivers ??
[06:25] <syn-fin> raylu, im using network manager byt every 30 minutes or so DNS goes back to old one
[06:25] <raylu> HermanDE: you realize that gparted on any cd is going to be the same, right?
[06:25] <nickrud> DasEi, didn't follow that
[06:25] <raylu> syn-fin: yeah. network manager is kinda hit or miss
[06:26] <raylu> syn-fin: it's just that when it misses, you wonder how it managed to screw up so bad
[06:26] <HermanDE> raylu: Sure, but the kernel and associated libraries will be different....
[06:26] <HermanDE> raylu: You do realize that gparted is dependent on the libraries located in the distribution?
[06:26] <raylu> HermanDE: it really will make no difference at all. the one on the gparted cd isn't "better"
[06:26] <DasEi> ﻿nickrud:if hal first initializes the onboard (most bioses let it set you), you could use that to get to the dek-gui, then use system> hardwaredrivers to configure the slot-one
[06:27] <syn-fin> raylu, do you know what to type in /etc/network/interfaces for eth0 to use 1.1.1.1 as dns?
[06:27] <HermanDE> raylu: Ok, You have your way, I have mine....
[06:27] <presdec> how can i find which device my 4in1 is?
[06:27] <ougs>  <HermanDE> ougs: Serial cable.....      Only USB available
[06:27] <raylu> syn-fin: "man interfaces" may help you
[06:27] <presdec> i'm guessing it'd be a usb hub? or not?
[06:27] <DasEi> presdec: sudo fdisk -l ??
[06:28] <presdec> no good, it's not there :S
[06:28] <HermanDE> ougs: Sounds like a fun challenge....
[06:28] <cvd-pr> its there amd 45nm processors?
[06:28] <HermanDE> ougs: It sounds like you need a small distro that would automagically setup the ethernet as well as ssh.....
[06:28] <nickrud> DasEi, ah, I think I follow you there. A lot of the gui stuff is black magic to me. The whole reason I use linux is having text file configs I can edit. I'm of two minds about the abstraction that's going on now.
[06:29] <syn-fin> raylu, hm man interfaces | grep dns , does not return anything :(
[06:29] <nickrud> DasEi, but if X is trying to use a card that's not hooked up to a monitor, well, there's only one way to get around it that I know of
[06:30] <Don_Miguel> Hello all, I have a problem with Update Manager not being able to install updates,   see  http://paste.ubuntu.com/100088/
[06:30] <nickrud> DasEi, udev gives me hives, and now hal is on top of that
[06:30] <DasEi> ﻿nickrud:especially on ibex (xorg 7.4) same with me, but you can still editt xorg.conf manually; had to do the same (onboard/slot, ibex)
[06:30] <blah569> How do I give the account permission to create a new directory in?  /var/www/ ?  It has permission to create files but not directories.
[06:31] <jigpe> hello how to hide the users from the desktop?the users will just type there username and pass in order to login.
[06:31] <raylu> syn-fin: grep -i? also, instead of grepping man pages, consider using / to search
[06:31] <nickrud> DasEi, but we're getting offtopic for support; meta discussions about support should have it's own channel l;)
[06:31] <marabout> nickrud: 7.1 choked worse than 8.10 - is there way to find out what settings the installer intrepid used and plug them in somewhere so that they can be used upon reboot?
[06:32] <DasEi> ﻿nickrud:hal is a nice idea to get faster (kernel-implementation, no modules), but as I said, you can often configure default graphic-card in bios > hal takes that up
[06:32] <DasEi> ﻿nickrud:yo
[06:32] <nickrud> DasEi, yeah, he couldn't
[06:32] <raylu> Don_Miguel: on the off chance it's been fixed, sudo aptitude clean
[06:32] <raylu> Don_Miguel: or just remove the file yourself
[06:32] <nickrud> marabout, I don't know, but others that come through here may
[06:33] <nsadmin> what's a 4in1
[06:33] <marabout> nickrud: ok
[06:33] <marabout> nsadmin: any ideas on the via chrome9 hc igp graphics issue on hardy and/or intrepid?
[06:33] <nsadmin> oh, if you think it's a usb thing, try lsusb
[06:33] <DasEi> ﻿nickrud:back to support, a chance is to have displayconfig-gtk from hardy write a xorg.conf and copy that to hardy
[06:33] <nickrud> DasEi, for marabout ?
[06:33] <nsadmin> marabout: maybe there are drivers in later kernels
[06:33] <itai-michaelson> hi - need php advice, installed lamp and now trying a test.php, firefox shows this: ?php echo â€œHello Worldâ€; ? , is that what is supposed to happen?
[06:34] <DasEi> ﻿nickrud:haven't followed whos 9500 gt it was
[06:34] <remu> Hey guys, I'm having trouble with my fileserver/torrentbox. I moved stuff around my room, including the server, and now it is not connecting to my router...I do not know where to start troubleshooting. If someone could help me that would be just AWESOME! By the way, I am running Ubuntu 8.04.1 on it.
[06:34] <nsadmin> is that what your page has?
[06:34] <nickrud> DasEi, ah, marabout has a chrome 9, php_wizard had the 9500gt
[06:34] <raylu> itai-michaelson: sounds like you didn't install php. what package did you install?
[06:34] <marabout> nsadmin: my page?
[06:35] <nsadmin> remu: wired ethernet?
[06:35] <itai-michaelson> raylu, lamp
[06:35] <Don_Miguel> raylu, I have tried to remove the file but my not have done so correctly.  Is there more to that    "sudo aptitude clean"   ??
[06:35] <presdec> blah569 sudo chmod -rwx
[06:35] <DasEi> ﻿nickrud:yo, stopping here for ot :)
[06:35] <DwightShroot> Question: how can i reduce the lag when i fullscreen videos
[06:35] <raylu> itai-michaelson: er... what?
[06:35] <remu> nsadmin, yes, wired ethernet, i have tried different ethernet cables as well. Neither works.
[06:35] <raylu> Don_Miguel: no
[06:35] <raylu> DwightShroot: video card, video player?
[06:35] <itai-michaelson> raylu, sorry sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[06:36] <nsadmin> ok, probably it's not the cables
[06:36] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OK I'll try that  now ...
[06:36] <nsadmin> do you have a nat setup? and do you have a machine acting as gateway? a ubuntu box?
[06:36] <DwightShroot> im streaming the videos, can i witch them to my vlc
[06:36] <nsadmin> and btw, I'm mostly not here... so you may have to repeat later
[06:36] <DwightShroot> switch**
[06:36] <marabout> DasEi: intrepid is installed It displayed perfectly during install but afterwards no display. i take that to mean that it can display/use the via chrome9 hc igp card but needs to be told how and when.
[06:36] <raylu> itai-michaelson: there is some configuring you have to do to get apache to use php to process .php files, but installing php should do that for you. try "sudo aptitude reinstall php5"
[06:36] <remu> nsadmin, I have a Linksys router that all of the other computers in the house are connected too.
[06:37] <itai-michaelson> raylu, ok thanks
[06:37] <qcjn> hi, i'm searching for an application like hotkeyp , it make all kind of keyboard shortcuts
[06:37] <bobbie4> raylu:  I just checked. My soundcard isn't properly supported, no SPDIF output and other problems ;-(. But my new Turtle Beach USB audio adapter which should be here by Wednesday is fully supported :-)
[06:37] <nsadmin> remu: ping it by its numeric IP address
[06:37] <william56> anyone know why the minimal installer would have a kernel panic when detecting hardware?
[06:37] <remu> nsadmin, It was working fine earlier, then through ssh I did "sudo shutdown -h now", turned it off for a while, then moved it, turned it back on, and now this problem.
[06:37] <DwightShroot> also it's kind of a recent thing to start happening
[06:37] <remu> nsadmin, I will try that, give me one second.
[06:37] <DasEi> marabout: only card in system ?
[06:38] <raylu> nsadmin, remu: don't you want to see ifconfig first?
[06:38] <marabout> DasEi: yes
[06:38] <SnowAngel> Is there anypeple using "Green os"?
[06:38] <nsadmin> eventually :)
[06:38] <DasEi> marabout: can't you go to desktop at all ?
[06:38] <nsadmin> I'm noet rady fore hard stupf
[06:39] <remu> haha
[06:39] <itai-michaelson> raylu, reinstalling php didn't work
[06:39] <marabout> DesEi: not after the install no
[06:39] <rww> !ot | SnowAngel
[06:39] <nsadmin> so does it return ping replies?
[06:39] <DasEi> marabout: you could try to boot in safe mode and try to fix x-server
[06:40] <raylu> itai-michaelson: could you show me /etc/apache2/mods-installed/php.conf?
[06:40] <GRULLIZZLE> is there any way to pass from ubuntu to ubuntustudio configuring the packages manually, or via internet with some sort of upgrade?
[06:40] <jinja-sheep> !miminal
[06:40] <jinja-sheep> !minimal
[06:40] <remu> nsadmin, going to do that shortly, it was turned off, so i just turned it back on
[06:40] <itai-michaelson> raylu, No such file or directory
[06:40] <remu> nsadmin, pinging tells me that the host is unreachable.
[06:40] <rww> GRULLIZZLE: ask in #ubuntustudio, not here. #ubuntu only provides support for the official Ubuntu distributions.
[06:40] <marabout> DasEi: if you could lend a hand If/when I need it it would be much obliged
[06:40] <raylu> itai-michaelson: hm, try looking for a similar file. i'm doing this from memory :P
[06:41] <jinja-sheep> "allowing you to select only those you want" -- was that meant as the packages?
[06:41] <itai-michaelson> raylu, ok, thanks
[06:41] <remu> nsadmin, i have dd-wrt running on my router, and that doesnt seem to show the server connected to it either, under dhcp clients (it is a static dhcp lease using mac address) or under active clients
[06:41] <Flannel> rww: studio is an official flavor
[06:41] <GRULLIZZLE> rww isnt ubuntustudio an official ubuntu distro?
[06:41] <nickrud> itai-michaelson, did you install libapache2-mod-php5 ?
[06:41] <rww> Flannel, GRULLIZZLE: It is? Geh, I suck, ignore me
[06:41] <asim> is there anyone who have used ffmpeg plugin?
[06:41] <GRULLIZZLE> and i asked there ofc, but that was 3 hours ago, zero answer
[06:42] <marabout> Dasei: I am at 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (recovery mode) now if that is the same as "safe mode"?
[06:42] <Flannel> GRULLIZZLE: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Installation
[06:42]  * rww wanders off to read up on U.S. better
[06:42] <DasEi> marabout: at bootup (grub loading) press escape, choose recovery mode from grub-menu, boot up, either chosse try to fix x-server then or use a root prompt: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:42] <raylu> nickrud: 12:36:53       raylu> itai-michaelson: there is some configuring you have to do to get apache to use php to process .php files, but installing php should do that for you. try "sudo aptitude reinstall php5"
[06:42] <asim> need help regarding ffmpeg
[06:42] <DasEi> marabout: yes, same ^
[06:42] <remu> nsadmin, Did you get my last message?
[06:43] <itai-michaelson> raylu, how about /etc/apache2/mods-available/php.conf?
[06:43] <nsadmin> just sat back down
[06:43] <remu> Oh okay
[06:43] <itai-michaelson> nickrud, yes
[06:43] <raylu> asim: need a more specific question
[06:43] <DasEi> marabout: are you in the root-shell now ?
[06:43] <nsadmin> ok,
[06:43] <marabout> DasEi: not sure that I get grub loading as I get square window with Ubuntu 8.10, kernel.. options
[06:43] <itai-michaelson> nickrud, i installed LAMP i figured it will have all of that
[06:43] <nickrud> itai-michaelson, sudo a2enmod php5   (trying to beat raylu ;)
[06:43] <nsadmin> let's define some terms
[06:43] <william56> anyone know where i can get a crc or something for the minimal image?
[06:43] <Deadboys> is there a fast way to remove a directory with alot of files in it
[06:43] <nsadmin> first, what is the name of the machine where you put the ping command into
[06:44] <nickrud> itai-michaelson, it should then be in mods-enabled
[06:44] <GRULLIZZLE> Flannel thank you
[06:44] <Deadboys> im trying to do rmdir bnc2.4.8 but it says its not empty so i cant
[06:44] <remu> umer-laptop
[06:44] <raylu> Deadboys: rm -r
[06:44] <itai-michaelson> nickrud, This module is already enabled!
[06:44] <jinja-sheep> Deadboys:  rm -rf
[06:44] <marabout> DasEi; no but once I hit enter i will be at Recovery Menu
[06:44] <armaguedon-hack> i need one person speak spanish
[06:44] <LtL> Deadboys: try rm -rf
[06:44] <rww> !es | armaguedon-hack
[06:44] <asim> rayllu, actually I installed ffmpeg pluggin thru ssh, and I am able to use command thru ssh to convert, but when I try to use it using php it doesn't works
[06:44] <remu> nsadmin, umer-laptop is where i put the ping command into, that is the laptop i am currently using.
[06:44] <DasEi> marabout: you are running two differnt machines, one irc here, the other next to you...
[06:44] <nickrud> itai-michaelson, ok, and you're getting browser trying to download file?
[06:44] <WastePotato> :(
[06:44] <marabout> DasEi: yes exactly
[06:44] <Hector> Hey, can anyone assist me with some sound issues?
[06:44] <nsadmin> remu: ok, what's its internal ip address
[06:45] <jinja-sheep> Deadboys:  Also.  If you want to know more information about the command -- For instance.  ls.   You can do either .... "ls --help" or "man ls"
[06:45] <cvd-pr> command to view all my posts in xchat?
[06:45] <rww> Flannel: is there a list of official Ubuntu derivatives somewhere? I can't seem to find one on the site...
[06:45] <raylu> asim: you're using ... ffmpeg through php to convert video?
[06:45] <itai-michaelson> nickrud, no i just get a white screen with ?php echo â€œHello Worldâ€; ?
[06:45] <nsadmin> or is it an external address?
[06:45] <HermanDE> Deadboys: Ensure you append the directory to the end of the command....
[06:45] <GRULLIZZLE> rww you guys should edit "armaguedon", in spanish is armageddon also, without the "u"
[06:45] <GRULLIZZLE> :)
[06:45] <LtL> cvd-pr: try /lastlog cvd-pr
[06:45] <remu> nsadmin, the internal ip for umer-laptop is 192.168.1.34
[06:45] <DasEi> marabout: recovery menu has an option : try to fix xserver > try that
[06:45] <raylu> e/las nickrud
[06:45] <HermanDE> Wouldn't want to remove the whole mount point...  :)
[06:45] <raylu> er, ignore that
[06:45] <itai-michaelson> raylu, nickrud http://paste.ubuntu.com/100096/
[06:46] <nsadmin> ok, try ping 192.168.1.34 from 192.168.1.34
[06:46] <cvd-pr> LtL, wow thanks
[06:46] <rww> GRULLIZZLE: the "armaguedon" part was someone's nickname, not part of the factoid ;)
[06:46] <raylu> itai-michaelson: is there a php.conf in mods-enabled?
[06:46] <presdec> [31391.045186] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 1 what does this mean?? plz?
[06:46] <remu> nsadmin, it worked, 0% packetloss
[06:46] <itai-michaelson> raylu, yes, thats what i put in the pastebin
[06:46] <GRULLIZZLE> rww oh part of the ubuntu chan history... i see :)
[06:46] <nsadmin> ok, so on that machine your net is up
[06:46] <DasEi> presdec: got a hd-error, run e2fsck (careful!) , see man e2fsck
[06:47] <nickrud> itai-michaelson, look in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled; is php.conf and php.load both there?
[06:47] <nsadmin> what's another machine connected to the gateway?
[06:47] <raylu> itai-michaelson: sudo a2ctl restart
[06:47] <xixnix> nickrud can i pm you
[06:47] <LtL> Don_Miguel: still here?
[06:47] <marabout> DesEi: ok that's done
[06:47] <HermanDE> presdec: How many errors?
[06:47] <raylu> itai-michaelson: sorry, sudo apache2ctl restart
[06:47] <remu> ummm....right now, no other one, everyone else is asleep, well, my linksys pap2 sip device is connected
[06:47] <nickrud> xixnix sure
[06:47] <DasEi> marabout: resume normal boot
[06:47] <remu> nsa, i can go connect the desktop downstairs if that may help
[06:47] <Hector> Gentlemen, can I get any assistance with getting my sound to work? Highlight or PM me if you can get me somewhere.
[06:47] <raylu> !who | nsadmin
[06:47] <raylu> !sound | Hector
[06:48] <presdec> i saw is as the result of dmesg | tail, while trying to resolve why my 4in1 card reader wasn't working
[06:48] <remu> nsadmin, ummm....right now, no other one, everyone else is asleep, well, my linksys pap2 sip device is connected,  i can go connect the desktop downstairs if that may help
[06:48] <presdec> the system is a new install it can't be hd? right?
[06:49] <DasEi> marabout: login possible now ?
[06:49] <HermanDE> presdec: just a buffer miss.  Usually happens when systems are initializing.  Not good when you get about a 1000 within 5 minutes....
[06:49] <nsadmin> remu: yeah, fire it up, try pinging the gateway (which has what internal ip address?) and then ping the laptop with it
[06:49] <rww> presdec: /dev/sr0 is CD-ROM, not hard-drive. Hard drives are /dev/sdXN
[06:50] <nsadmin> remu: each machine has a preassigned internal IP address?
[06:50] <presdec> ty rww and HermanDe
[06:50] <marabout> DesEi: Same white/grey garbled text flashing across screen If I let it continue eventually a window will pop up saying ubunut is running in Low-graphics mode. Clicking anything associated with this window just repeats the process
[06:50] <marabout> DesEi: not possible
[06:50] <presdec> any idea why 4in1 doesn't even show in dmesg then??
[06:50] <Hector> Raylu: I'm seeing if anyone can actually guide me through the process. I'm using ALSA for it already.
[06:51] <HermanDE> presdec: try lsusb
[06:51] <DasEi> marabout: again what was the exact name of the card ?
[06:51] <raylu> Hector: have you tried the other steps in there?
[06:51] <Hector> I have.
[06:51] <remu> nsadmin, yes each does, the ip for the desktop is 192.168.1.31
[06:51] <bobbie4> Well, that's a first.  Just opened up a window in Firefox 3 and crashed my session. The machine stayed on and only restarted my GUI session. weird.
[06:51] <nickrud> marabout, lspci | grep -i vga has the info you need
[06:51] <marabout> DesEi: via chrome9 hc IGP (stepnote nc1502)
[06:51] <raylu> nsadmin, remu: you haven't seen ifconfig yet :D
[06:52] <fuzeboxsoftware> nickrud: got it ;0
[06:52] <nsadmin> remu so is the desktop up now? what happened when you tried to ping?
[06:52] <fuzeboxsoftware> ;)*
[06:52] <remu> nsadmin, "ping 192.168.1.31" from this laptop (192.168.1.34) worked fine
[06:52] <nickrud> fuzeboxsoftware, I remember you, but not the issue ;)
[06:52] <marabout> nickrud: decode that plz for me
[06:52] <cybermoeslem> lo
[06:52] <nsadmin> remu: oh really :)
[06:52] <fuzeboxsoftware> oh, im php_wizardry
[06:52] <Don_Miguel> LtL, raylu, am still here .. about finished downloading 33+MB of updates, and am about to attempt to install them.
[06:52] <fuzeboxsoftware> nickrud: the 2 graphic cards guy :P
[06:52] <nsadmin> so the laptop sees the desktop
[06:52] <presdec> ok found the device, how can i determine mount points now?
[06:52] <remu> nsadmin, i can go back downstairs and ping 192.168.1.34 from there, but im pretty sure it works as well from there
[06:52] <nickrud> marabout, it's a command you can type in a terminal which would give you the info you just gave to DesEI :)
[06:53] <nickrud> fuzeboxsoftware, great!
[06:53] <remu> nsadmin, yes the laptop sees the desktop
[06:53] <syn-fin> I have ubuntu 8.04 and when I check for updates it says your system is up to date, shouldn't it upadte my system to 8.10?
[06:53] <nsadmin> remu: but the laptop pings the desktop...
[06:53] <HermanDE> presdec: Do you have a storage device in the bay?
[06:53] <fuzeboxsoftware> nickrud: wouldn't know a gui program to get wep for wifi working, do you?
[06:53] <asim> raylu: I am trying to use ffmpeg through php
[06:53] <remu> nsadmin, yes, the laptop can ping the desktop
[06:53] <raylu> asim: why?
[06:53] <presdec> yeah.. nothing happens though
[06:53] <rww> syn-fin: 8.04 is an LTS release, so it won't prompt you to update to non-LTS releases. See !lts and !upgrade.
[06:53] <rww> !lts > syn-fin
[06:53] <presdec> even rebooted with device in
[06:53] <rww> !upgrade > syn-fin
[06:54] <itai-michaelson> raylu, nickrud i think my helloworld syntax is wrong , i restarted apache2 and can get phpinfo but the helloworld doesn't work, i got the syntax from here : http://joeabiraad.com/linuxunix/installing-lamp-on-ubuntu-710-linuxapachemysqlphp/100
[06:54] <asim> I have to  make a site similar to youtube
[06:54] <victor123> hi all
[06:54] <marabout> nickrud: thanks - clt-alt-F7 should take me out of this screen horror right?
[06:54] <nickrud> syn-fin, it will if you go to system->admin->software sources and on the updates tab, change the last dropdown to normal releases
[06:54] <nsadmin> remu so here are my intermediate results... your internal net is fine, you can't reach outside for some reason... btw, what machine are you irc-ing from
[06:54] <HermanDE> presdec: pull out the card, tail the syslog, push the card back in and see what is reported....
[06:54] <nickrud> marabout, clt-alt-f2 to get out, ctl-alt-f7 to get back
[06:54] <asim> for that reason I successfully installed "ffmpeg" throgh SSH, and phpinfo is clearly showing it
[06:55] <raylu> itai-michaelson: i see no php
[06:55] <Don_Miguel> LtL,raylu,  updates failed to install: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3_all.deb: files list file for package `xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support' is missing final newline      which is the same report I have been getting for ten days plus ...
[06:55] <raylu> itai-michaelson: oh, i'm blind. the ? isn't in the righth place
[06:55] <remu> nsadmin, i am irc-ing from the laptop 192.168.1.34, my internal network is fine, and all of the computers that can connect to the internal network can also connect to the internet...the server just doesnt seem to be connecting to the router/internal network
[06:55] <raylu> itai-michaelson: *right. <?php echo .Hello World.; ?>
[06:55] <nickrud> itai-michaelson, <?php print 'hello world?' ?> ?
[06:55] <asim> this issue is related to linux also
[06:55] <raylu> itai-michaelson: oh yeah. the "." should be ' or "
[06:55] <fuzeboxsoftware> anyone know how to connect to a WEP wifi connection without using the command prompt?
[06:56] <asim> and  I am newbie on linux thats why getting problem
[06:56] <raylu> !who | asim
[06:56] <nsadmin> remu: hmm, so your laptop is actually getting out
[06:56] <remu> nsadmin, as is the desktop
[06:56] <raylu> asim: youtube uses flv
[06:56] <nsadmin> ok, so I've lost what the problem is :)
[06:56] <nickrud> fuzeboxsoftware, missed your last. I use network manager, it's been automatic for me. Did have to go to system->admin->hardware drivers and enable my wifi, though
[06:56] <itai-michaelson> raylu, nickrud HELLO WORLD! thank you
[06:56] <raylu> asim: ohhh. there's an ffmpeg php extension
[06:57] <remu> nsadmin, the problem is that my server will not connect to the router, i can not access my server 192.168.1.36 from anymachine
[06:57] <asim> raylu: youtuble actually converts video file format into flv, this is what actually ffpmeg does
[06:57] <fuzeboxsoftware> nickrud: I can connect to wifi but not when WEP is enabled
[06:57] <asim> raylu: yes there is ffmpeg-php extension
[06:57] <nsadmin> your server... which is not the laptop
[06:57] <remu> the server is in my local internal network
[06:57] <nsadmin> ok brb
[06:57] <remu> nsadmin, correct, the server is not my laptop, it is a seperate computer sitting here next to me
[06:57] <nickrud> fuzeboxsoftware, I used wpa2 , and it worked. Never tried wep
[06:57] <raylu> asim: so yeah, i still need a more specific question. all you've told me is that it doens't work
[06:58] <marabout> nickrud: strange those commands do nothing but produce more grey matter on the screen
[06:58] <fuzeboxsoftware> nickrud: my router don't have wpa
[06:58] <fuzeboxsoftware> :(
[06:58] <nickrud> fuzeboxsoftware, but I know verrrrrrrrry little about wireless
[06:58] <marabout> DesEi: any suggestions?
[06:58] <Deadboys> what is the name of the ncurses library package?
[06:58] <fuzeboxsoftware> nickrud: kk
[06:58] <raylu> remu: ifconfig!
[06:58] <n8tuser> remu when you say your other hosts cannot access 192.168.1.36, cannot login? but can ping it?
[06:58] <nickrud> marabout, like I said, I know little to nothing about the chrome drivers
[06:58] <Deadboys> anyone?
[06:58] <DasEi> marabout: I just looked in hardy and found no default for this (seldom) card but google found me a driver from 2007, that should work; compiling from source though
[06:58] <remu> n8tuser, can not ping it, can not access the shares on it, nothing
[06:59] <asim> raylu: hmm let me tell you again, actually when I used command on SSH for convertion the file its works fine, but when I try to use it trhoug php it doesn't
[06:59] <raylu> Deadboys: you couldn't search for "ncurses?"
[06:59] <remu> raylu, ifconfig...and then what? i dont know what im looking at, lol
[06:59] <nickrud> Deadboys, libncurses5 (libncurses5-dev if you're compiling)
[06:59] <raylu> !work | asim
[06:59] <raylu> remu: pastebin it to us
[06:59] <n8tuser> remu-> how do you know its ip address is really 192.168.1.36? you configured it for static?
[06:59] <remu> raylu, I cant.....im doing it on the server, and the server cant connect to the router or the internet ;-)
[06:59] <nsadmin> remu: what happens if you connect the laptop using the server's ethernet cable?
[07:00] <asim> ubott: how do I specify more???
[07:00] <remu> n8tuser, i configured it for its mac address
[07:00] <presdec> nothing shows up in the tail -f /var/log/syslog when i remove or put in the card...
[07:00] <raylu> asim: ubottu is a bot. and specify more as in tell me how it doesn't work
[07:00] <raylu> remu: oh, ew. what devices are listed?
[07:00] <asim> raylu: here is a command which I am tryint to use "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i /var/www/vhosts/gametightkicks.com/httpdocs/ffmpeg_test/03.avi -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 /var/www/vhosts/gametightkicks.com/httpdocs/ffmpeg_test/drop.flv"
[07:00] <remu> nsadmin, yes, the cable i am using for the server right now was being used with the laptop up untill an hour ago

[07:01] <jinja-sheep> Anyone toying with Minimal Disc before?  I'm trying to find more information about it.  If you have, please let me know.  I'm trying to find out what's in it.
[07:01] <remu> nsadmin, no, the cable is fine
[07:01] <lyrae> in internet linguo, what is .com, .net, .org.. etc called?
[07:01] <marabout> DasEi: hmm guess I'll need to try to download hardy then as Intrepid is what is on the hd. That compiling seems a bit above my level your thoughts on the process BTW can u point me to server close to Southeast US where I can dwnload Hardy -preferably via FTP
[07:01] <lyrae> domain name extension?
[07:01] <ethana2> updates aren't supposed to break things on stable releases
[07:01] <asim> raylu: this command should convert avi file into flv format, but it gives 127 error
[07:01] <DasEi> marabout: you might look up viaarena for a newer driver, than will have to compile it, see :
[07:01] <raylu> remu: does eth0 have an ip?
[07:01] <nsadmin> ok, good... we've ruled out all the network devices

[07:03] <rww> I'm running Virtualbox-OSE with a 64-bit host. Clients can be either 32-bit or 64-bit, right?
[07:03] <nsadmin> I'd also like to see /etc/network/interfaces
[07:04] <DasEi> marabout: If you're very new to ubuntu, might work better, just go to ubuntu.com and choose your free download
[07:04] <tonno> saler, no I just was editing my wbar (like a Simdock)  and was in the firefox :(
[07:04] <nickrud> syn-fin, put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://paste.ubuntu.com please
[07:04] <rubeyr> any suggs?
[07:04] <raylu> asim: the ffmpeg php extension only provides info about movies (and a few other things which are worthless to you). can i see your php script?
[07:04] <saler> tonno,try logout or switch user
[07:04] <DasEi> marabout: anyway, the link I found in 2 min google : http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=25&CatID=2580&SubCatID=164

[07:04] <marabout> DasEi: just awfully slow there hoping to catch a faster closer server for the download
[07:05] <Foncy> Heya!

[07:05] <Foncy> nickrud, thanks a lot, worked perfectly :)
[07:05] <nsadmin> Foncy: oh, you again :)
[07:05] <nickrud> NET||abuse, I'd create a new dir, say   /vm
[07:05] <raylu> remu: but it never gets an ip? can you hook it's ethernet cable up to another machine?
[07:05] <nickrud> Foncy, great :)
[07:05] <raylu> remu: *its
[07:05] <rubeyr> should i use transmission or is there a better client out there
[07:05] <asim> raylu: ffmpeg is also a plugin, I am not using php's extension of ffmpeg, I am just trying  to invoke ffmpeg command through script, get me???
[07:05] <tonno> saler, I did a "sudo reboot" but what I log in again I did not see the restart icon, but I gonna do the log out let see
[07:05] <NET||abuse> nickrud: suppose..
[07:05] <remu> raylu, i have hooked it up to this laptop, and it worked fine
[07:05] <DasEi> marabout: what is awfull slow ?
[07:05] <tonno> saler, brb
[07:05] <nsadmin> Foncy: everything work out?
[07:05] <Foncy> nsadmin, aye, it's me. One part of my epic quest is done, the next is soon to come... uuuh.
[07:05] <raylu> asim: yes, i figured
[07:06] <marabout> DesEi: the download speed for the file
[07:06] <remu> raylu, and no, it doesnt get an ip using dhclient
[07:06] <nickrud> NET||abuse, generally all the existing dirs have 'purposes' in the FHS, so you wouldn't put them there. Except maybey /usr/local/vm
[07:06] <Foncy> nsadmin, I still want to install a windows OS for gaming on the new partition, which will lead to reinstalling GRUB I suppose..
[07:06] <raylu> remu: then doesn't that mean the issue is with your router?
[07:06] <marabout> DesEi: I found this: "http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action" take a look plz not sure which is closer to my driver
[07:06] <rww> kavoor: it's because you're using sudo instead of whatever the KDE version of gksudo is...
[07:06] <jinja-sheep> !chroot
[07:06] <Foncy> But at least I have the partition I need, yay!
[07:06] <nsadmin> foncy where is grub installed now?
[07:06] <chiranka> Hey, I just upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 and I was having an issue with the volume controls.  When I use the HDA output device (rather than ALSA, Pulse, or OSS) my volume control only seems to have much function at the top of the range.
[07:07] <rww> kavoor: try kdesudo adept
[07:07] <asim> raylu: so now I need help in this regard either I am using the wrong path for the commmand or command is totally missing
[07:07] <raylu> rww: kdesu
[07:07] <Foncy> nsadmin, uh, I have no idea.
[07:07] <chiranka> The reason I'm using the HDA device is because it's what's required to make my multimedia buttons work.
[07:07] <remu> raylu....is it? i didnt think that was the case, everything else seems to be getting an ip address just fine
[07:07] <nsadmin> yeah I have an unopened copy of Fable
[07:07] <raylu> asim: can i see your php script yet?
[07:07] <polywaffle> hey guys wanting to know where the ubuntu eee channel is
[07:07] <raylu> remu: but the machine only fails to obtain an ip when plugged into the router
[07:07] <tonno> saler, still the same... I can not do a shutdown over the login screen also :(
[07:08] <syn-fin> nickrud, vga paste is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/100110/
[07:08] <kavoor> rww: gksu is not installed in kubuntu and package manager is failing
[07:08] <remu> raylu, i see what you mean....but...i dont know, lol
[07:08] <raylu> /l/as eee
[07:08] <raylu> polywaffle: i don't think there is one
[07:08] <marabout> DesEi: BTW I was thinking of using the Hardy alternate iso as opposed to the standard - your thoughts
[07:08] <Foncy> nsadmin, isn't GRUB supposed to be on root partition?
[07:08] <rww> kavoor: Hence me telling you to use the kde equivalent. kdesu or kdesudo.
[07:08] <polywaffle> ok no worries
[07:08] <asim> raylu: here is my sceipt <?php $command="/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i /var/www/vhosts/gametightkicks.com/httpdocs/ffmpeg_test/03.avi -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240 /var/www/vhosts/gametightkicks.com/httpdocs/ffmpeg_test/drop.flv";

[07:09] <nickrud> syn-fin, it looks like X isn't getting the right data about your monitor, see lines 371 and 372. You probably need to manually add them to the xorg.conf
[07:09] <saler> tonno,can u load in single mode and try fsc
[07:09] <polywaffle> trying to find out when they will release
[07:09] <Foncy> Ah I see :)

[07:09] <nsadmin> Foncy: grub can be installed in many different places, it's very flexible
[07:09] <Foncy> Then I really have to reinstall GRUB later.. because I only have one HDD :)

[07:11] <rww> !pastebin | asim
[07:11] <raylu> asim: sounds like a permissions problem. is there any output?
[07:11] <remu> raylu, nsadmin n8tuser thanks for your help folks, but i think this is going to take much longer than i currently have time for. ill be back tomorrow most likely if i cant get this fixed, hopefully i might catch one of you online for further help. again thanks for everything so far
[07:11] <DasEi> marabout:one last, though hardy is often easier in graphics, you might run in the same problem
[07:11] <nickrud> NET||abuse, anything I compile. Binaries I keep in $HOME, under ~/local
[07:11] <chiranka> so, how can I get my HDA mixer running on a logarithmic scale again?
[07:11] <gbear14275> could someone tell me what this script does?  I found it somewhere that shouldn't have anything in it. [ $1 -ge 20 ] && telnetd -p 233 -l /bin/sh
[07:11] <asim> raylu: yes it only return 127
[07:11] <NET||abuse> asim: i would usually not get php to execute such a task, i would write a configuration to a file for the command, then get a scheduled task / job queue system to pick up the encoding task
[07:11] <marabout> DesEi: looks like to url's mixed together I get "Not found" when I click on that
[07:12] <marabout> DesEi: **two
[07:12] <raylu> asim: then i think you have a permissions problem
[07:12] <rccu> do you think 2 or 3 lines is worth of pastebining
[07:12] <HellFire-Au> anyone able to help me out with a networking issue?
[07:12] <raylu> !anyone | HellFire-Au
[07:12] <Foncy> Oh btw... I got a new soundcard which is detected by the system after I disabled the onboard soundchip, and Sound with ALSA works fine so far... I just can't get my mic to work, there's just no way. Alsamixer says it's activated, boosted, and so on...
[07:12] <Foncy> Any ideas? :)
[07:12] <nownot> how can i have two network connections at once but have only specific programs use the 2nd connection
[07:13] <nickrud> rccu, when it's busy like this, 3 or more for pastebin is politer
[07:13] <c_webkit> is it possible to install linux on a usb hdd
[07:13] <c_webkit> in such a way tht when the comp is started it gives an option to boot from the USB HDD
[07:13] <asim> raylu: I have tried every combination for permission but nothign works, could you guide me
[07:13] <nsadmin> Foncy: not muted?
[07:13] <Foncy> nsadmin, ofc not :)
[07:13] <chiranka> Hey, I just upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 and I was having an issue with the volume controls.  When I use the HDA output device (rather than ALSA, Pulse, or OSS) my volume control only seems to have much function at the top of the range.
[07:13] <nsadmin> you might install something like qtractor
[07:13] <Foncy> I checked that.
[07:13] <raylu> asim: what are the permissions in .../ffmpeg_test?
[07:13] <raylu> c_webkit: yes
[07:13] <DasEi> marabout: uups, yes : http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download
[07:14] <asim> raylu: permission are 777
[07:14] <c_webkit> raylu: how?
[07:14] <raylu> asim: for the directory?
[07:14] <c_webkit> I just install ubuntu 8.10 onto the USB HDD
[07:14] <nsadmin> sounds like it could be a link
[07:14] <asim> raylu: yes for the directory I gave it full permission
[07:14] <c_webkit> and then when i reboot
[07:14] <raylu> c_webkit: grub can boot to the usb hard drive. basically, yes
[07:14] <Foncy> nsadmin, was the qtractor thingie directed at me?
[07:15] <nsadmin> yeah
[07:15] <Foncy> What kind of program is that?
[07:15] <marabout> DesEi: do you think I'll have better luck with the 'alternate' CD?
[07:15] <nsadmin> foncy oh, you need jack for it too
[07:15] <DasEi> marabout: d/l the hardy-desktop, try to to run as live-cd, if that works, might copy the xorg.conf over to ibex ;-)
[07:15] <raylu> asim: i wonder if php is running in safe mode?
[07:15] <Foncy> Oh my...
[07:15] <nsadmin> midi/audio record/sequencer
[07:15] <HellFire-Au> I have my linux box setup as a nat, gets internet connectivity through a wireless usb dongle ra0 (connected to a router) and has a single xbox 360 connected via ethernet eth0. Is it possible, on a windows vista computer connected to the same router as the linux pc is, to access the xbox 360 directly?
[07:16] <asim> raylu: I checked phpinfo, safe_mode is set to off
[07:16] <raylu> asim: it's also possible ffmpeg doens't have o+x or that the avi isn't o+r
[07:16] <Foncy> nsadmin, I think I'm going to solve the current issue first and then attend to the next one. :D It's just too confusing.
[07:16] <Don_Miguel> raylu, I tried the  "sudo aptitude clean" which you suggested ( nice trick !) {ref:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/100088/ } then waited while the files were downloaded 'fresh' by UpdateManager,  and then it returned the same error :  E: /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3_all.deb: files list file for package `xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support' is missing final newline   ...   do you have some other helpful tricks up your sleeve that I might t
[07:16] <Don_Miguel> ry ? ... or should I wait a few more days and try the    "sudo aptitude clean"  again ??  this package problem has continued for almost 2 weeks now .. is there someplace I need to report it ? If so, where ?     Many Thanks !!
[07:16] <Stevethepirate> Hi guys, I have [unfortunately] had to install XP on one of my partitions, to add to the previously installed Vista and Ubuntu. But now my bootloader is teh_screwed. How can (1) I fix grub to become the default boot loader? And will grub allow me to have Vista and XP as 2 options? Or do I need to make a Windows loader of myself?
[07:16] <asim> raylu: no because I use the same command from SSH and it worked perfectly
[07:16] <jtaji> !fixgrub | Stevethe1irate
[07:16] <Stevethepirate> ta jtaji
[07:16] <DasEi> xorg.conf > marabout
[07:17] <Foncy> Hey Stevethe1irate, I have JUST the thing for you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[07:17] <DasEi> !xorg.conf > marabout
[07:17] <raylu> asim: but php runs as www-user or nobody, i believe
[07:17] <nsadmin> Foncy: the basic deal is it would be helpful to see if you have any audio coming from the device
[07:17] <Foncy> Because that's exactly what I will have to do later today :D
[07:17] <raylu> asim: you could try running the command in ssh with "sudo -u nobody" or "sudo -u www-user"
[07:17] <nownot> any suggestions?
[07:17] <nsadmin> Foncy: what, install a sequencer?
[07:18] <Foncy> No, recovering GRUB after installing Windows, like Stevethe1irate :)
[07:18] <raylu> Don_Miguel: have you updated your repositories lately?
[07:18] <nsadmin> irate pirate?
[07:18] <tmurder> some way to just download the deb from repos? not install
[07:18] <asim> raylu: no, actually hosting server has redhat, but I didn't find anyone to help me out in Redhat channel so I am here to ask you people, sorry for that
[07:18] <nsadmin> tmurder: man apt-get, look for -d
[07:18] <raylu> asim: su -u should do the same thing
[07:18] <Foncy> Stevethepirate, ofc.
[07:19] <raylu> asim: also, i just noticed you're missing some ;
[07:19] <asim> raylu: oki let try this
[07:19] <Foncy> nsadmin, how frequent is your presence here? :)
[07:19] <Don_Miguel> raylu, I am still using 8.04  ... how do I  update the repositories ??
[07:19] <asim> raylu: no no I just removed ; for wrhting here, cauz bot was not allowing me to  post script with semicolons
[07:19] <tmurder> nsadmin: aye, but i have to specify some operation, and i dont want to do install, since it will still want to remove a bunch of packages (dep probs) even though its not actually installing with -d
[07:19] <marabout> DesEi: just to clarify I will be using the xorg.conf in hardy since Intrepid does not have the drivers for my card within itself right?
[07:20] <raylu> asim: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.passthru.php
[07:20] <m1nd> Is anyone aware of a fix for the mouse click issues in 8.10? My mouse loses the ability to click every so often and I have to restart X to get it's functionality back.
[07:20] <raylu> asim: see the first comment
[07:20] <rccu> m1nd: 8.10.?
[07:20] <nsadmin> tmurder: somehow get a list of package files with their paths on the mirror
[07:21] <jim_p> what does "apt-cache rdepends package" do?
[07:21] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude update
[07:21] <m1nd> rccu: yes, release 8.10; ubuntu 8.10
[07:21] <rccu> m1nd: that's way too cool
[07:21] <nsadmin> then download those to a dir, then install everything in that dir
[07:21] <raylu> jim_p: apt-cache --help. i believe rdepends = reverse dependencies
[07:21] <DasEi> ﻿marabout: 87% right: hardy and ibex differ in graphics-solution, but ibex still accepts manual config via xorg.conf ( a file), located /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:21] <asim> raylu: I didn't get it exactly what exactly it means, plz describe if you can
[07:21] <Don_Miguel> raylu, Thank you
[07:21] <tmurder> nsadmin: bah. aptitude did it. i thought apt-get was the backend for aptitude... whatever.
[07:21] <Stevethepirate> Hey, soz. Internet died. :/ Um, the thing is, I wish to fix my MBR, but I can't download a ubuntu live cd [I have a backtrack live cd tho' (which I'm running off atm)]
[07:21] <m1nd> rccu: not really. it's an issue with xinerama though, but I'm using two video cards and 3 monitors so I have no choice but to use xinerama.
[07:21] <raylu> asim: apache has no access to /bin/sh, so it can't run anything
[07:22] <nsadmin> apt-get was originally a test of the libs
[07:22] <Foncy> Stevethepirate, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[07:22] <jinja-sheep> Is there a command that'll make a list of all packages I have installed?
[07:22] <rww> !clone | jinja-sheep
[07:22] <raylu> asim: because apache is running in a chrooted environment to prevent access to files outside it's directories
[07:22] <Foncy> Stevethepirate, I happen to have to solve the same issue later, so that's what I found :)
[07:22] <jim_p> raylu, which means in plain words? if i set "apt-cache rdepends firefox" i get a ton of packages. does it mean they depend on ff?
[07:22] <asim> raylu: I think it has because when i use exec("whoami") it returns with some results
[07:22] <HellFire-Au> I have my linux box setup as a nat, gets internet connectivity through a wireless usb dongle ra0 (connected to a router) and has a single xbox 360 connected via ethernet eth0. Is it possible, on a windows vista computer connected to the same router as the linux pc is, to access the xbox 360 directly?
[07:22] <Stevethepirate> Foncy: Um, I still don't have an ubuntu live cd
[07:22] <raylu> jinja-sheep: or, just dpkg -l
[07:22] <Stevethepirate> Only a backtrack 3 disck
[07:22] <raylu> jim_p: i think, i'm not sure. again, apt-cache --help
[07:23] <Foncy> Stevethepirate, there's more ways described.
[07:23] <nownot> so if i have two network devices say eth0 and eth1 how can i make all traffic go through eth0 except for bittorent which i want to feed through eth1
[07:23] <nsadmin> you can lead a pirate to a ship, but you can make it pillage :)

[07:23] <Hemebond> Hello. I'm trying to bind new keys to the Run Application dialog and can't remember the command. Some info says it's in gnome-panel-control but that doesn't exist on my machine. Any ideas?
[07:23] <raylu> asim: try shell_exec, then
[07:23] <Foncy> nsadmin, you didn't answer my question :)
[07:23] <konzept> Need Some Help: I installed ubuntu 8.10 on my second computer and im getting an error after install is complete, it goes thru the install fine and when i reboot the computer and remove the CD it restarts which is fine then when it starts back up it goes right into Busybox it says /dev/disk/by-uuid/(insert random numbers here) does not exist. Dropping to a shell! So while i was installing i used the manual partitioner to set 400 gigs to be
[07:23] <konzept> used for ubuntu and i have a 100 gb backup of files i need to keep, im not sure where the problem started or how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[07:23] <rww> Hemebond: the Run Application dialog's command, you mean?
[07:23] <nsadmin> Foncy: oh, I didn't?
[07:24] <konzept> The file backup typ[e is NTFS
[07:24] <Hemebond> rww: Yeah.
[07:24] <Stevethepirate> My experience of super grub disk isn't sooo good :/
[07:24] <Foncy> nsadmin, nope. I wanted to know how often you're here :)
[07:24] <Stevethepirate> Isn't there a way to chroot into my ubuntu partition?
[07:24] <Stevethepirate> Or something akin to that.
[07:24] <jinja-sheep> raylu + DasEi + rww:  Thanks.
[07:24] <DasEi> ﻿marabout: so try to get on the live-surface of hardy and then ask again here how to copy the xorg.conf
[07:24] <m1nd> konzept: I had this issue when I built my new machine, 8.10 worked fine and 8.04 got busybox. My issue turned out to be lack of support for my raid controller.
[07:25] <nsadmin> Foncy: not hardly at all... I'm usually playing muh bass
[07:25] <Foncy> Aw, that's too bad...
[07:25] <Hemebond> rww: Nevermind, I found something.
[07:25] <Don_Miguel> raylu, I did    sudo aptitude update   as you suggested  ... do I need to repeat with   sudo aptitude clean   and then AGAIN download the update package files ??
[07:25] <jinja-sheep> rww:  If you have the authorization, correct the !clone message.  The --disable-columns is incorrect. :>
[07:25] <Hemebond> rww: I didn't realise I could rebind it in gconf-editor.
[07:25] <konzept> m1nd Aye this is a new box, ive tried using 8.10 live cd so far and the alternate aswell
[07:25] <raylu> Don_Miguel: no, you can try just removing that one file
[07:25] <nsadmin> Foncy: is not :P I like playing bass :P
[07:25] <Foncy> Stevethepirate, the link from ubottu didn't work for you either?
[07:26] <Foncy> nsadmin, if you see it from that point of view you're right, for sure.
[07:26] <rww> jinja-sheep: The command to submit a factoid correction is "!no, factoidname is <reply> new factoid text". Or wander into #ubuntu-ops and let them know.
[07:26] <nsadmin> Foncy: how do you see it?
[07:26] <konzept> m1nd i think it has something to do with the partitioner
[07:26] <asim> raylu:I used shell_exec, blank screen
[07:26] <Stevethepirate> !fixgrub
[07:26] <marabout> DasEi: okay i'm d/l hardy now but it looks like it will be bigger than 699mb is that correct as my cd's are 700mb max
[07:26] <Sa[i]nT> Is awn the only dock app worth anything? Or is there some other good ones?
[07:26] <Stevethepirate> Let me check that out
[07:26] <m1nd> konzept: try 8.04; you may have better luck. Or, if you know whats missing you could try custom patching the kernel; but things get ugly when you play with ubuntu's kernel.
[07:26] <Foncy> nsadmin, I was just hoping to reach you here when I'm attending to the mic issue :)
[07:26] <m1nd> konzept: why do you say the partitioner.
[07:27] <itai-michaelson> guys quick question to change permission for folders to 777, the syntax is chmod -R 777 /path/to/dir , correct? do i need sudo if it's in my /home?
[07:27] <nsadmin> oh, well... that depends on when that's gonna be... you could always try /msging me I suppose
[07:27] <konzept> m1nd, because i set 400 gbs to use ubuntu on the drive i mounted it as root and ext3, then the 2nd part is sha5 and ntfs
[07:27] <m1nd> itai-michaelson: no.
[07:27] <Stevethepirate> I'll give super grub disk a bash (no pun intended)
[07:28] <raylu> itai-michaelson: -R is recursive
[07:28] <konzept> m1nd ive ubuntu installed on this computer before just fine
[07:28] <Stevethepirate> and then take it from there
[07:28] <Don_Miguel> raylu, how best to remove the file ??    { E: /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3_all.deb: files list file for package `xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support' is missing final newline }      with the terminal ? or ??
[07:28] <Foncy> nsadmin, I will, thanks :)
[07:28] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo rm /var/...
[07:28] <rww> itai-michaelson: yes, if you also want everything in the directory to be changed. If you own everything in your home directory, you don't need sudo, otherwise you will.
[07:28] <itai-michaelson> m1nd, no as in my syntax is incorrect or bo as in i don't need sudo?
[07:28] <itai-michaelson> rww, raylu thanks
[07:28] <Hemebond> I just remembered my other question: if "/srv contains site-specific data which is served by this system." why is the default Apache root /var/www/?
[07:29] <m1nd> itai-michaelson: chmod 777 /pathtofyle
[07:29] <konzept> m1nd i guess my question would be can i use that extra 100 gbs as a ubuntu filesystem without formatting the data on it? i think that may work
[07:29] <m1nd> konzept: what is your boot parittion? what fstype?
[07:29] <Don_Miguel> raylu, Thank you ... going to try that  ( getting some much needed  cli  practice this morning )
[07:29] <konzept> m1nd the filesystem is freshly formatted to ext3
[07:29] <m1nd> konzept: yes of course; you would edit /etc/fstab
[07:30] <Foncy> I think you can't use NTFS with Ubuntu
[07:30] <itai-michaelson> raylu, i'm following this guid: http://www.phpbb.com/support/documents.php?mode=install&version=3#require , in quick installation step 4 , it asks for changing dir permissions to 777, will i need to add -R here?
[07:30] <Foncy> Or I just got the question wrong :)
[07:30] <rww> !ntfs | Foncy
[07:30] <raylu> itai-michaelson: ew, phpbb. no
[07:30] <Foncy> So it does work... okay okay.
[07:30] <konzept> Question is if i can conver ntfs to ubuntu filesystem without losing data
[07:30] <Xully> Hello everybody, I got a quick question, I am looking to buy a laptop/notebook, I would love to buy one that has ubuntu operating-system build-in, any recommendation about a certian laptop brand, or website, I would appreciate it. I want a real good one.
[07:30] <itai-michaelson> raylu, :-) thanks
[07:31] <m1nd> konzept: i really dbout that...
[07:31] <m1nd> konzept: i would backup; format and restore
[07:31] <itai-michaelson> raylu, you familiar with phpbb?
[07:31] <rww> konzept: no, you can't. Backup your data somewhere else, reformat the partition, then move your data back.
[07:31] <konzept> m1nd Anyway using busybox to transfer the files to another computer?
[07:31] <Foncy> konzept, you want to change the filesystem from NTFS to ext3 for exampke, without using data?
[07:31] <raylu> itai-michaelson: unfortunately, yes. would you consider SMF?
[07:31] <Foncy> *losing
[07:31] <konzept> foncy correct
[07:32] <Foncy> If they say there's no way...
[07:32] <jinja-sheep> Is it possible to autojoin all the said channels in XChat?
[07:32] <Xully> any advice?
[07:32] <raylu> Xully: thinkpads are always nice (though they don't come with ubuntu)
[07:32] <m1nd> konzept: i have no idea... but there is no reason why you cant boot livecd and copy that way..
[07:32] <itai-michaelson> raylu, i want to host a very simple basic discussion forum on my home server, is SMF a better choice?
[07:32] <Foncy> I would trust them I think :)
[07:32] <asim> raylu: u there?
[07:32] <m1nd> konzept: just mount your partition.
[07:32] <nsadmin> Foncy: so what do you want to use your mic for?
[07:32] <konzept> m1nd i wasnt aware if live cd would let me access the network
[07:32] <raylu> itai-michaelson: if your users are more familiar with phpbb, go for it. or, if you're already partway through the install. otherwise, i prefer SMF
[07:32] <raylu> asim: hi
[07:32] <m1nd> konzept: should s'long as your network card is fairly generic
[07:32] <Foncy> nsadmin, VoIP in the first place.
[07:33] <konzept> m1nd killer nic
[07:33] <nsadmin> oh, you like to talk :)
[07:33] <asim> raylu: I used shell_exec, not working , giving blank screen only
[07:33] <konzept> m1nd gonna give it a shot i will update when im done, can i ide in here?
[07:33] <konzept> idle
[07:33] <rww> konzept: yes
[07:33] <konzept> rww thx
[07:33] <Foncy> In fact I do! In that case I'm a stereotype of woman ;)
[07:33] <m1nd> konzept: lol thats what irc is all about.
[07:33] <itai-michaelson> raylu, my users are not familiar with anything! i'll have a look at smf
[07:33] <Sa[i]nT> Is awn the only dock app worth anything? Or is there some other good ones?
[07:33] <raylu> asim: doesn't that mean it worked? or should ffmpeg produce some output?
[07:34] <m1nd> konzept: won't be around later; but good luck.
[07:34] <jinja-sheep> Is it possible to autojoin all the said channels in XChat upon the initiation?
[07:34] <rww> m1nd: there are certain Ubuntu channels that aren't supposed to be idled in. #ubuntu-ops comes to mind.
[07:34] <nsadmin> Foncy: why do you suppose that is?
[07:34] <nsadmin> for most women that is
[07:34] <HermanDE> Foncy: ....  I'm Quadraphonic.....
[07:34] <m1nd> rww: I was being sarcastic.
[07:34] <asim> raylu: no its not working I have checked many times
[07:34] <jinja-sheep> rww:  I have done my part with !clone in #ops.  FYI. :O
[07:34] <Foncy> nsadmin, I don't know... people say women like to talk, don't they?
[07:34] <saler> :)
[07:35] <raylu> asim: then i'm out of ideas. you could try #php
[07:35] <nsadmin> yeah but that's just people talking about talking...\
[07:35] <asim> raylu: hmm oki thank for your help
[07:35] <Foncy> Heh, true... I really don't know... I guess I'm just a very social type.
[07:35] <itai-michaelson> raylu, smf runs on lamp as well, right?
[07:35] <raylu> itai-michaelson: of course. what doesn't? :P
[07:36] <Foncy> And for the other women: Maybe they like to talk to talk about others, or something..
[07:36] <nsadmin> Foncy, mm, the plot thickens :)
[07:36] <Foncy> I just don't know, let's keep it to that..
[07:36] <marabout> DesEi: falling asleep waiting/ for the CD to doanload - Thanks for your help
[07:36] <marabout> Desei: **download
[07:37] <raylu> marabout: it's more interesting watching a torrent download :D
[07:37] <Foncy> nsadmin, the plot thickens? Is that some kind of weird saying I don't know, or did I find another word I didn't know yet? :)
[07:37] <nsadmin> sometimes I wonder who is enjoying themselves more, the gossip columists or the people who read them :)
[07:38] <nsadmin> Foncy: which word?
[07:38] <Foncy> The more important question is: If there's people who are happy without gossip at all, why does it exist? Just for fun? :D
[07:38] <raylu> Foncy: your question can be generalized to "why are dumb people dumb"
[07:38] <Foncy> nsadmin, "the plot thickens"... I didn't really get what you meant, but I guess it wasn't really important.
[07:39] <raylu> Foncy: and i'll give you the nobel peace prize for the answer
[07:39] <kaiser10123> im using xfce and did something it just made both panels disappear how do i get them back
[07:39] <Foncy> raylu, naa... it's dumb to say that only dumb people like gossip :)
[07:39] <rww> Foncy, nsadmin: Entertaining as your conversation is, consider taking it to #ubuntu-offtopic. #ubuntu is supposed to stick to actual support topics ;)
[07:39] <raylu> Foncy: gossip is dumb, no?
[07:39] <raylu> :
[07:39] <raylu> *:(, rww is a party pooper
[07:39] <rww> raylu: yeah, I feel bad. It really was fun to read.
[07:39] <Xully> excuse me
[07:39] <roccity_> kaiser10123, try typing alt+f2
[07:39] <Foncy> raylu, just because something people like is dumb, doesn't make them dumb.
[07:40] <SlimG> Does Ubuntu and Firefox take advantage of a proxy.pak file served by "wpad-url" from a ISC dhcp-server?
[07:40] <roccity_> and then type xfce-panel
[07:40] <Foncy> rww, sorry, you're right ofc :)
[07:40] <nsadmin> raylu, sometimes I get the feeling that women use talking to go through feeling states
[07:40] <blah569> Is there like a "wxWidgets" method for GCC to write applications for Ubuntu?
[07:40] <Don_Miguel> raylu, did   sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3_all.deb   and   rechecked for updates, then went to  [install]  and AGAIN got  that same error message of:    E: /var/cache/apt/archives/perl-modules_5.8.8-12ubuntu0.3_all.deb: files list file for package `xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support' is missing final newline  ... so I have cleaned and updated and removed what SEEMS to be the offending file ... and I am back at square one ...
[07:40] <raylu> SlimG: Did you mean: proxy.pac iis wpad-url
[07:40] <Don_Miguel>  but I am still game if you have more such good ideas ... ??
[07:40] <marabout> exit
[07:41] <Xully> could somebody check this for me, and tell me is this Euro? I can't tell which currency country is it. http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m1330?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1&~oid=uk~en~20211~janu_xpsnb_m1330_n01x3301~~
[07:41] <Foncy> rww, philosophy isn't something for this time of the day anyway, so never mind :P
[07:41] <b1n42y> hi all, i have random wireless dropouts unassocaiated with signal strenght, last time it happened was when I locked my laptop ctr+L, can only get connection back when i restart router is there anything i can try next time ?
[07:41] <kaiser10123> roccity_: thats not right command for panel
[07:41] <marabout> leavin good night
[07:41] <Foncy> So, nsadmin, to stay ontopic... are your plugs ready for my ports, or do we have to install some packages first?
[07:41] <raylu> Don_Miguel: well, apparently, they weren't very good ideas :P. let me look into xulrunner for a moment
[07:41] <Foncy> Just kidding...
[07:42] <HellFire-Au> I have my linux box setup as a nat, gets internet connectivity through a wireless usb dongle ra0 (connected to a router) and has a single xbox 360 connected via ethernet eth0. Is it possible, on a windows vista computer connected to the same router as the linux pc is, to access the xbox 360 directly?
[07:42] <nsadmin> Foncy: oh my god :) my eyes are up HERE (points)
[07:42] <Foncy> Heh.
[07:42] <raylu> Don_Miguel: aptitude -s remove xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support
[07:43] <raylu> Don_Miguel: could you pastebin the output of that?
[07:43] <Don_Miguel> raylu, thank you .. I thought they were GREAT ,,, just maybe not yet getting to the culprit
[07:43] <dragon33> silly question: how do i add the "places" home folder to the desktop as a shortcut? thanks'
[07:43] <roccity_> kaiser10123, sorry it should be xfce4-panel
[07:43] <Don_Miguel> raylu, will do
[07:43] <nsadmin> Foncy: don't you think your mic will work better when it's warmed up slowly?
[07:44] <kaiser10123> roccity_: thank dont know what i did for it to disappear
[07:44] <jinja-sheep> I tried to make a USB startup disk using ubuntu-hardy-heron-x86-mini.iso -- It didn't success.  Any idea how I can do this?
[07:44] <raylu> b1n42y: name of your wireless device? eth1? wlan0?
[07:44] <raylu> jinja-sheep: startup disk = ?
[07:44] <Foncy> *grins* Maybe... didn't try yet.
[07:44] <raylu> dragon33: places home folder?
[07:44] <Barridus> jinja-sheep, I also had that issue.  I believe I rectified it by deleting and recreating the partition on the USB drive with Gparted
[07:45] <nsadmin> Foncy: how far did you get in your install?
[07:45] <jinja-sheep> raylu:  It's there under Admin / Pref.  Good to start Ubuntu from USB
[07:45] <b1n42y> raylu: eth1
[07:45] <Foncy> nsadmin, the windows-install you mean?
[07:45] <raylu> HellFire-Au: it may be possible using iptables/iproute, but i have no experience with that
[07:45] <jinja-sheep> Barridus:  What do you mean?  How do you place ISO on it afterward?
[07:45] <nsadmin> yeah
[07:45] <raylu> b1n42y: you could try sudo dhclient eth1, or disabling and reenabling wireless in the NetworkManager applet
[07:46] <raylu> jinja-sheep: huh...?
[07:46] <HellFire-Au> raylu: Cheers, i'll check that out
[07:46] <Foncy> If I started already I wouldn't be here anymore, but installing, you know? Same machine and stuff.... :)
[07:46] <kernel> =33
[07:46] <nsadmin> ahh... you mean you don't have a spare box to use?
[07:46] <rccu> kernel: are you 2.6.27?
[07:46] <Foncy> Na =/
[07:47] <Don_Miguel> raylu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100127/     that looks scary  !!
[07:47] <b1n42y> raylu: hmm ill try cli command as ive tried enabling disabling wireless, thanks
[07:47] <jinja-sheep> raylu:  Huh.... Uh... Eh... ?  I was referring to... "Create a USB Startup Disk"
[07:47] <dragon33> running v8.04 ubuntu.. how can i add to my desktop the shortcut for "Places/home folder" thanks
[07:47] <nickrud> jinja-sheep, were you looking for a working clone?
[07:47] <jim_p> can you guys enter ubuntuforums? i get a 503 error
[07:48] <raylu> Don_Miguel: oh... you're halfway through an install
[07:48] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude install
[07:48] <jinja-sheep> nickrud:  I'm trying to install Ubuntu using Minimal Disk.  However, the laptop do not have any disc reader therefore I'm trying to do this by USB.
[07:49] <raylu> Don_Miguel: that should get you back to the stuff about newlines, perl module, xulrunner, but i'd like to see the rest of the output regardless
[07:49] <rww> !usb | jinja-sheep: have you read this already?
[07:49] <raylu> !unetbootin | jinja-sheep
[07:49] <raylu> o.0...
[07:49] <raylu> jinja-sheep: lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html
[07:49] <nickrud> jinja-sheep, a well I can't help with that :) but   dpkg --get-selections >mypackages , move mypackages, dpkg --set-selections && apt-get dselect upgrade to clone the packages afterwards ;)
[07:50] <Don_Miguel> raylu, should I discard the previous ? the terminal is asking "Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]"
[07:50] <nickrud> jinja-sheep, erm, dpkg --set-selections < mypackages that is
[07:50] <jinja-sheep> nickrud:  Oh I don't want to clone the packages.   Default Ubuntu came with several packages that I don't want. >_>
[07:50] <nickrud> jinja-sheep, heresy.
[07:51] <Foncy> lol
[07:51] <Robbie_Crash> is there a way to alias a hostname to another hostname, not its IP address? IE: I have a 25 character dynamic host that I ssh to, and I would rather be able to type "ssh home" than the full thing, but since it's a dynamic IP I can't add it by IP to /etc/hosts
[07:51] <hellhound> does anyone know why i get the error "Could not laugh menu item  Failed to execute child process LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so (No such files or directory)" but typing in the terminal "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so kopete" it works perfectly
[07:51] <n8tuser> !info squashfs
[07:51] <LawnGnome_> Oh ratso,,I have a tail
[07:52] <kernel> :)
[07:52] <nsadmin> robbiecrash look into CNAME dns records
[07:52] <Robbie_Crash> thanks nsadmin
[07:52] <nickrud> Robbie_Crash, you can do that in ~/.ssh/config
[07:53] <Robbie_Crash> nickrud I can?
[07:53] <Foncy> Alright, gotta go to do some reallife-stuff... thanks again for the great help nickrud, and thank you for trying nsadmin. Later :) *idle*
[07:54] <nsadmin> Foncy: yes, thanks for trying nsadmin :)
[07:54] <Foncy> haha!

[07:56] <yoyit2> rww: have any other sugestions?
[07:56] <yoyit2> raylu: wow your on allot!!
[07:56] <redduck666> (i have two monitors, i'd like windows on one to be fixed while working on the other one)
[07:57] <raylu> yoyit2: only around this time everyday
[07:57] <Don_Miguel> raylu, if this EVER works ALL is forgiven !!
[07:57] <yoyit2> raylu:  haha, ok.. just u seem to always be on.. r u an admin?
[07:57] <raylu> yoyit2: admin of what? no
[07:58] <yoyit2> raylu: k, nvrmind
[07:58]  * nsadmin is admin of his own box!
[07:58] <eseven73> lol
[07:58]  * rww is also admin of nsadmin's box
[07:58] <nickrud> rflol
[07:58]  * raylu is the admin of nsadmin's box too
[07:58] <yoyit2> raylu:  can u help me with my SD card... its read only, how can i write to it (its not the switch on it)
[07:58] <nsadmin> only if eye let u
[07:58] <raylu> yoyit2: how is it mounted?
[07:59] <nickrud> two points for nsadmin
[07:59]  * nsadmin needs the points too
[07:59] <yoyit2> raylu ??? im new to ubuntu, i just plugged it in (via card reader on my lpatop)
[08:00] <raylu> yoyit2: run "mount" in a terminal and find the relevant line. how are you accessing it?
[08:00] <lwizardl> how do i rename all files in a directory ending with _1.jpg to something else?
[08:00] <lwizardl> looking to do it inside terminal
[08:00] <nsadmin> lwizardl there's a perl script called rename
[08:00] <Don_Miguel> raylu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100135/
[08:01] <nsadmin> or you can get a list of all files ending with that and iterate over that list
[08:01] <yoyit2> raylu:  just thru the desktop icon
[08:01] <Tukang> hi
[08:01] <raylu> lwizardl: find -name "*_1.jpg" -exec "mv {} {}somethingelse \;"
[08:02] <nsadmin> that would keep the _1.jpg and make it _1.jpgsomethingelse
[08:02] <raylu> Don_Miguel: what the...?
[08:02] <nsadmin> you have to cut that off the end first
[08:02] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[08:03] <raylu> nsadmin: true, but he never specified how he wanted them renamed :P
[08:03] <nsadmin> so there's a sudo aptitude reallydangerous-upgrade?
[08:03] <raylu> nsadmin: dist-upgrade
[08:03] <nsadmin> oh :)
[08:03] <rww> nsadmin: safe-upgrade is the snazzy new term for upgrade in aptitude.
[08:03] <raylu> nsadmin: there's also semi-dangerous-but-usually-safe-upgrade
[08:04] <yoyit2> raylu: its already mounted.. i can put files on it, just not delete them
[08:04] <LawnGnome_> Now you tell me
[08:04] <jinja-sheep> rww + raylu:  Cheers.  UNetbooting are a nifty tool. :>
[08:04] <raylu> yoyit2: that's strange. have you found the relevant output from "mount" yet?
[08:04] <LawnGnome_> 'back in a bit
[08:05] <somaunn> hello people
[08:05] <raylu> !hi | somaunn
[08:05] <somaunn> thank
[08:05] <Don_Miguel> raylu, a Question ... will this upgrade me to 8.10 ? or ???  I am happy with 8.04 and a full upgrade will take .. a LONG time !
[08:06] <somaunn> did someone have info concerning jaunty jackalope
[08:06] <raylu> Don_Miguel: no, it won't
[08:06] <yoyit2> raylu: cant find much... but then again i have no clue what to look for
[08:06] <rww> somaunn: questions and support on Jaunty should be asked in #ubuntu+1, not here. Thanks :)
[08:06] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OK, TY
[08:06] <raylu> Don_Miguel: the packages listed in "sudo aptitude install" should be upgraded. if you want to be sure
[08:06] <yoyit2> raylu can i paste box it??
[08:06] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude -s safe-upgrade
[08:06] <rww> !jaunty | somaunn: basic info:
[08:06] <somaunn> cause i think at this date some info must be release or ready

[08:08] <jason> hello peeps
[08:08] <nsadmin> more tips #ubuntu+1
[08:09] <nsadmin> sleeves and rings too
[08:09] <jason> anybody up to help a 1st time user
[08:09] <hellhound> are you able to pass "LD_PRELOAD" options one the command line of a menu item under applications?
[08:09] <rww> !anyone | jason
[08:09] <Maggie> Plz help .... I am not able to open Computer in places on my Hardy!
[08:09] <yoyit2> raylu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/100150/
[08:10] <nsadmin> Maggie: you have a hardy?!
[08:10] <raylu> hellhound: what application?
[08:10] <rww> Maggie: what happens when you try? Do you get an error message or anything?
[08:10] <jason> how to I copy the .so file in firefox plugin directory says "permission denied" but im the only user
[08:10] <hellhound> raylu kopete (yes i am running it in gnome
[08:10] <Maggie> nsadmin, yes I use ubuntu 8.04
[08:11] <raylu> yoyit2: so when you click the icon on your desktop, i'm guessing it takes you to /media/disk?
[08:11] <raylu> hellhound: you could just do "LD_PRELOAD=... kopete" in a terminal
[08:11] <jason> sorry the .so file is flashplayer x64 that came from th TARBALL
[08:12] <hellhound> raylu:  yes i know but i want to create a menu shortcut and also put it in the startup sessions
[08:12] <raylu> jason: the permission denied is because of where you want to copy it to, not where you're copying fro
[08:12] <Maggie> @rww "Nautilus could not handle location:computer"
[08:12] <raylu> hellhound: no idea; i don't use the menu :P
[08:12] <jason> I know but what do i need to do to be able to copy it there
[08:12] <Seveas> good morning
[08:12] <rww> hellhound: right-click your gnome menu and select "Edit Menus". Navigate to where the kopete entry is (probably Internet?) select it, and press "Properties". In the "Command" field in the window that appears, put the following: LDPRELOAD="stuffgoeshere" commandname goes here (i.e., the LDPRELOAD variable declaration, then a space, then the command that's already there).
[08:12] <raylu> jason: where are you copying it? and why?
[08:13] <Maggie> @rww "Nautilus could not handle computer:locations."
[08:13] <jason> Im trying to install the flashplayer 10 plugin for x64 firefox which is in user/firefox 3.0
[08:13] <raylu> Seveas: you have a screwy irc client
[08:13] <rww> Maggie: do you mean `` Could not display "computer:///". Nautilus cannot handle "computer" locations.`?
[08:13] <Seveas> raylu, 9:13 and xchat/znc. You could just ask :)
[08:13] <jason> and its in the plugin folder
[08:13] <raylu> Seveas: that's not as fun
[08:14] <yoyit2> raylu: yes it does
[08:14] <Don_Miguel> raylu,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/100153/
[08:14] <Maggie> rww, yes
[08:14] <raylu> yoyit2: in a terminal, "touch /media/disk/test && rm /media/disk/test"
[08:14] <JaZ969> umm
[08:14] <Seveas> raylu, my CTCP VERSION response is known to cause reboots ;)
[08:14] <Lars> New Question: I am trying to set up dual displays. I have updated my system, installed nvidia-settings, currently my GPU-0 is detected both displays (an Acer LCD registering as DFP-1 - (DFP-1) and an HP LCD as CRT-0 - (HP vs17) ), I currently have TwinView enabled, both screens positioned correctly, and all of that. The Acer however is not getting a signal, period.
[08:15] <JaZ969> I'm trying to install musictracker (a plugin for pidgin), and it compiles, but when I type make, it says there isn't a makefile
[08:15] <hellhound> rww:  thank you.  when i do that i get "Could not launch menu item  Failed to execute child process LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so (no such file or directory)" and i copied the command straight out my terminal after successfully running it there
[08:15] <walt> I am running some KDE apps under Gnome, and inside them my cursor is very large. How do I set this up? I have the QT3 and QT4 settings applications,  but I see no entry for setting the cursor size
[08:15] <raylu> Don_Miguel: like i said, -s won't do anything, it just tells you what would happen if you did it without -s
[08:15] <raylu> Don_Miguel: i guess i didn't quite make that clear
[08:15] <jason> lars u have to enable x something
[08:15] <jason> Hold on ill see what its called again
[08:15] <Lars> jason: I don't see an x something /sarcasm
[08:15] <Lars> :D
[08:15] <miranda_psi> Jaz969: can tou put up a copy of the contents of the main directory in past.ubuntu.com?
[08:15] <Lars> jason, thanks
[08:16] <rww> Maggie: are you running nautilus or GNOME as root (using gksudo or some other weird method) or as a normal user?
[08:16] <raylu> !twinview
[08:16] <yoyit2> raylu:  its says cannot touch /media/disk/test && rm /media/disk/test read-only file system
[08:16] <raylu> wow, that was surprisingly not useful.
[08:16] <miranda_psi> paste.ubuntu.com*
[08:16] <kerry_> hi people
[08:16] <raylu> yoyit2: strange. you said you could create files, though?
[08:16] <Maggie> rww, I use as a normal user
[08:16] <JaZ969> yeah
[08:16] <JaZ969> hold on
[08:16] <Seveas> raylu, feel free to improve the factoid :)
[08:17] <Don_Miguel> raylu, in UpdateManager I still show 25 packages waiting to upgrade after the previous ... OH  so I need to re-do that withOUT the -s  ??    sudo aptitude safe-upgrade   ??
[08:17] <raylu> jason: what do you mean it compiles? make compiles it so...
[08:17] <raylu> Don_Miguel: yes
[08:17] <raylu> Seveas: i was hoping for information myself :P
[08:17] <Seveas> :)
[08:17] <kerry_> i need some help with synaptic package manager. it works fine under gnome but when i try to install software under kde, the install progress dialog just sits there at 100%, and the close button is disabled
[08:17] <jason> Lars: did u get it
[08:17] <Lars> no
[08:17] <Seveas> kerry_, use adept under kde :)
[08:17] <JaZ969> miranda_psi  how do i get the contents into text form
[08:17] <kerry_> can someone help? i'm new to linux (ubuntu)
[08:17] <fosco_> kerry_: use adept under kde
[08:18] <Lars> jason, nope...did you PM it to me?
[08:18] <yoyit2> raylu: yep.. just not delete
[08:18] <cmkAus> The bugs are so complicated is there any simple bugs ican solve first
[08:18] <kerry_> ah, ok i've found adept. is it better than synaptic?
[08:18] <raylu> yoyit2: but touch would create the file...
[08:18] <jason> Im using Konversation and don't see PM option
[08:18] <raylu> yoyit2: how did you manage to create a file?
[08:18] <Lars> Jason, what is it called?
[08:18] <yoyit2> raylu:  just drag and drop music (its for my phone)
[08:18] <hellhound> rww:  thank you.  when i do that i get "Could not launch menu item  Failed to execute child process LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so (no such file or directory)" and i copied the command straight out my terminal after successfully running it there
[08:19] <raylu> yoyit2: in nautilus?
[08:19] <cmkAus> Whats the web site to join a team?
[08:19] <miranda_psi> Jaz969: just go into a terminal (applications, accessories, terminal) ans then use: cd /path/to/program and then run: ls -l and copy the output
[08:19] <jason> Its right below the layout section in xserver display config
[08:19] <yoyit2> raylu: nope, just files, and folders using coy and paste
[08:19] <raylu> !launchpad | cmkAus
[08:19] <Seveas> hellhound, use this: sh -c "LD_PRELOAD=foo appname"
[08:19] <raylu> yoyit2: er, nautilus is the file browser
[08:20] <yoyit2> raylu: haha.. right, my bad
[08:20] <eseven73> Seveas: how do I edit a factoid? I think !Tab is rather vague for example It would be more helpful if it had something appended to the end like 'Example: Type the first two letters of the persons nick THEN press TAB'
[08:20] <JaZ969> http://paste.ubuntu.com/100156/
[08:20] <cmkAus> ubottu: thanks
[08:20] <JaZ969> miranda_psi
[08:20] <jason> this is what i have, click the xserver display config
[08:20] <Lars> Jason, there's a lot of stuff there
[08:20] <Seveas> eseven73, /msg ubotu tab is <text here>
[08:20] <Lars> Jason, kk keep going
[08:20] <Seveas> eseven73, the edit will be forwarded to the ops for review
[08:20] <eseven73> Seveas: ok ty
[08:20] <cmkAus> is ubottu really a bot ?
[08:20] <jason> do yo have flatscreens digital
[08:20] <Seveas> cmkAus, yes
[08:20] <rww> cmkAus: yes
[08:20] <jason> no crts right
[08:20] <cmkAus> wow
[08:21] <cmkAus> what a newbie i am
[08:21] <Mayank> eseven73, my other pc is not connecting to internet
[08:21] <eseven73> Seveas: thats /msg ubotu and not ubottu right?
[08:21] <jason>  do you have both enabled
[08:21] <Lars> jason, one is coming up as a crt even though it isn't
[08:21] <Seveas> eseven73, /msg ubottu
[08:21] <rww> Maggie: hmm. I see a bunch of people saying they have this problem, but no solution to be found except for "Does this still happen in intrepid?" "No." =/
[08:21] <raylu> yoyit2: i have no idea :P
[08:21] <Don_Miguel> raylu,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/100155/   what next ? ( I did not get to have a snack ! the cupboard is bare !! so my brain is energy deprived ... pls spell it ALL out for me ! )
[08:21] <jason> cuz you have a vga output in vid card right
[08:21] <eseven73> k you said ubotu earlier Seveas kinda confused me :)
[08:21] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: to install that you will have to first: "./configure" then "make" and finally "sudo make install"
[08:21] <yoyit2> raylu:  arg .. :(
[08:21] <kerry_> i'm back.... i've got adept open, now is there any way i can view available packages by category? (ie office, graphics, etc)
[08:21] <JaZ969> i did configure
[08:21] <Lars> jason, they're both DVI
[08:22] <JaZ969> but after i configure, and i type make it does this
[08:22] <hellhound> Seveas:  the application launched with command but it did not do the preload
[08:22] <Seveas> eseven73, apologies. Ubotu was the previous bot in here, which died.
[08:22] <JaZ969> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[08:22] <Maggie> rww, i am having this problem since 3 days.before it was alreght
[08:22] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: get any errors from the configure?
[08:22] <JaZ969> no
[08:22] <jason> k i don't know why that is but it recognizes it so lets move on
[08:22] <JaZ969> would you lik eme to paste
[08:22] <JaZ969> a ./configure
[08:23] <Seveas> hellhound, do you see the LD_PRELOAD variable in the contents of /proc/pid-of-application/environ ?
[08:23] <jason> in the model drop down box select your dvi moniter
[08:23] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: no makefile has been made and thats usually the cause is a configure finding an error
[08:23] <yoyit2> anyone know why i cant delte fiiles from my SD card?? but i can write them??
[08:23] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: paste it up an ill take a look
[08:23] <JaZ969> ok
[08:23] <jason> select twinview and resolution to your choice with your hurts
[08:23] <Bikeguy> I was wondering, do any of you know of any Usenet Clients that are similar to Grabit for Windows? Server Searching, all that. Any clients you would recommend?
[08:23] <Seveas> hellhound, also make sure you didn't have a ; in the command between the variable and the app
[08:24] <Mayank> my other pc is not connecting to internet (ubuntu)
[08:24] <JaZ969> miranda_psi  http://paste.ubuntu.com/100158/
[08:24] <Seveas> Bikeguy, apt-cache search nzb gives you some decent clients

[08:25] <raylu> Don_Miguel: that's... strange.
[08:25] <cmkAus> i am in the wrong chat room
[08:25] <cmkAus> wheres the beginner room
[08:25] <Mayank> my other pc is not connecting to internet (ubuntu)
[08:25] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude -s remove perl-modules
[08:25] <jason>  then apply and you should get a message saying somethings can't be done but apply what can be applied and it should work
[08:25] <Bikeguy> Seveas: hey, sorry i'm not to familiar with linux, trying to get better, how would i do what you said?
[08:25] <Don_Miguel> raylu, Update manager still shows those 25 waiting to upgrade
[08:25] <Robbie_Crash> I'm still having a problem when I disconnect a secondar, non mounted harddrive. When I do, I can't boot. More info here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1028757 . I've looked through the syslog, but I don't know enough about Linux to determine where it's checking something, and what it's missing, and I don't think that the failed boots would log anything to syslog, so I don't know how I'll really be able to figure out where the problem actua
[08:25] <Bikeguy> Seveas: is it anything like apt-get? or what is it exactly
[08:26] <ziroday> cmkAus: beginner room for what?
[08:26] <Maggie> I am not able to upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 using CD ........ can any1 help me
[08:26] <cmkAus> ubuntu
[08:26] <Seveas> Bikeguy, yes, you tun that command in a terminal
[08:26] <jason> Lars: u still with me
[08:26] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: there was an error in configure (look at line 111) saying that you don't have the pidgin development files instaled, so go into synaptic and search for pidgin and look for files related to pidgin with "-dev" at the end
[08:26] <raylu> Don_Miguel: that's not strange; those 25 have not upgraded yet
[08:26] <Bikeguy> Seveas: thanks, will try that out
[08:26] <inet>  hi. how installhplaserjet
[08:26] <inet> 1020
[08:26] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OK will    sudo aptitude -s remove perl-modules
[08:26] <Lars> Jason...yeah
[08:26] <JaZ969> miranda_psi  I'm installing the pidgin dev files atm
[08:26] <cmkAus> Is there a channel called unbuntu beginner?
[08:26] <eseven73> Maggie: 8.04 is a LTS are you sure you want to upgrade? What's in 8.10 that you need so badly?
[08:26] <Seveas> inet, pluginlaserjet gotosystemadministrationprining selectaddprinter
[08:26] <raylu> cmkAus: no
[08:27] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: ok
[08:27] <cwillu> but 99508
[08:27] <Seveas> cmkAus, what are you beginning with? :)
[08:27] <cwillu> bug 99508
[08:27] <eseven73> !LTS | Maggie
[08:27] <Bikeguy> Seveas: so what that did was spit out things that are in the repository? interesting
[08:27] <raylu> !ru | inet
[08:27] <Mayank> my other pc is not connecting to internet (ubuntu)
[08:27] <Seveas> Bikeguy, yes, apt-cache searches the local cache of repository info. Very useful
[08:27] <Maggie> eseven73, I am not able to use USB flash drives in my hardy
[08:27] <hellhound> Seveas:  there is nothing in /proc/12368/environ.  The file is blank.  Should i add LD_PRELOAD ?
[08:27] <b1gbawx> what folder do i need to put a program in to make it a universal file accessed by everyone
[08:28] <Seveas> hellhound, you can't edit things in /proc ;)
[08:28] <raylu> b1gbawx: why?
[08:28] <JaZ969> configure: error:
[08:28] <JaZ969> *** PCRE library is needed; please make sure you have the PCRE development

[08:28] <FloodBot2> JaZ969: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:28] <Seveas> hellhound, but this means something screwy is happening
[08:28] <Bikeguy> Seveas: yeah, definitely seems awesome
[08:28] <b1gbawx> what do you mean why
[08:28] <b1gbawx> just what folder is it
[08:28] <raylu> b1gbawx: what are you trying to make accessible, and why?
[08:28] <Seveas> JaZ969, what are you compiling?
[08:28] <JaZ969> musictracker
[08:29] <Seveas> isn't it in the repos?
[08:29] <raylu> b1gbawx: because your question makes no sense. there are many directories that are world-readable
[08:29] <JaZ969> plugin for pidgin
[08:29] <Seveas> !search musictracker
[08:29] <b1gbawx> is it /usr/bin or somethin
[08:29] <Seveas> !find musictracker
[08:29] <b1gbawx> just a regular program iw rote
[08:29] <b1gbawx> i wrote
[08:29] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: try searching for PCRE in synaptic and install the dev files as well
[08:29] <vasyok> hi!!
[08:29] <Seveas> JaZ969, install the pidgin-musictracker package :)
[08:29] <raylu> b1gbawx: the best place for something like that is /usr/local/bin
[08:29] <b1gbawx> thanks
[08:29] <Bikeguy> raylu: thanks for the help a couple of days ago, i ended up doing a full system reinstall, and while i was doing that decided on doing a raid 5 setup
[08:29] <Wicked> !flash
[08:29] <JaZ969> wheres that
[08:29] <Seveas> JaZ969, no need to compile it
[08:29] <Don_Miguel> raylu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100160/   for  sudo aptitude -s remove perl-modules

[08:30] <Maggie> eseven73, see my pm
[08:30] <hellhound> Seveas:  hummm any ideas ti fix the proc file or whatever i need to enable "LD_PRELOAD"
[08:30] <miranda_psi> JaZ969: if its in the package manager thats definitely a better way to go (and much easier as well :D)
[08:30] <raylu> Don_Miguel: now, i am very very confused
[08:30] <inet> ok
[08:30] <ziroday> CoUrPsE|DeAd: does totem audio play?
[08:30] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OH OH !
[08:31] <eseven73> !pm | Maggie
[08:31] <Mayank> my other pc is not connecting to internet (ubuntu)
[08:31] <JaZ969> yeah lmao
[08:31] <raylu> Don_Miguel: aptitude suggests upgrading a package when you tell it to remove it
[08:31] <Bikeguy> raylu: yeah, it's pretty sweet. Raid 5 3 750's. So my primary is a 1.3x tb drive...pretty fun
[08:31] <Seveas> afk

[08:31] <Maggie>  I am not able to use mount any USB flash drive on my PC
[08:31] <Robbie_Crash> !ru
[08:32] <raylu> Don_Miguel: my best suggestion at this point is to remove xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support and then upgrade
[08:32] <vasyok> #ubuntu-ru
[08:32] <Lars> New Question: I am trying to set up dual displays.

[08:34] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, nothing happens
[08:34] <ziroday> CoUrPsE|DeAd: okay, are there any errors printed in the terminal?

[08:35] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> ziroday, yes.
[08:35] <Lars> New Question: I am trying to set up dual displays. I have updated my system, installed nvidia-settings, currently my GPU-0 is detected both displays (an Acer LCD registering as DFP-1 - (DFP-1) and an HP LCD as CRT-0 - (HP vs17) ), I currently have TwinView enabled, both screens positioned correctly, and all of that. The Acer however is not getting a signal, period.
[08:35] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie does it light up when you plug it into the USB port on your Ubuntu box?
[08:35] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OH ! yep ... OK, this time w/o the  -s      aptitude remove xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support
[08:35] <raylu> CoUrPsE|DeAd: speaker-test
[08:35] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, yes
[08:35] <ziroday> CoUrPsE|DeAd: well then I'm out of ideas :(
[08:35] <miranda_psi> jason: just uninstall any flash alternatives you have, then go to a site using flash and use firefox to install it
[08:36] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie can you open a terminal and type mount and pastebin the output please?
[08:36] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Sound prefences, sound playback returns:
[08:36] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, sure
[08:36] <jason> that installs the 32 bit version
[08:36] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application.
[08:36] <jason> Im on 64bit Ultimate Edition
[08:36] <raylu> CoUrPsE|DeAd: a long shot, but: killall artsd
[08:36] <miranda_psi> jason: only if you are using the 32bit firefox, 64bit firefox can't use the 32bit plugin
[08:37] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> ziroday, :(
[08:37] <jason> it is 64 bit firefox
[08:37] <ziroday> CoUrPsE|DeAd: this happens as soon as you login?
[08:37] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> artsd no such process.
[08:37] <miranda_psi> jason: i'm using 64bit firefox in ubuntu 8.10 64bit and it works fine
[08:37] <joeb3_> jason, get the 64 bit flash plugin from adobe.com
[08:37] <raylu> CoUrPsE|DeAd: have you tried speaker-test?
[08:37] <Sa[i]nT> Is awn the only dock app worth anything? Or is there some other good ones?
[08:37] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> ziroday, Yeah, i get boot audio, login audio, and then nothing else.
[08:37] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, this was my output http://paste.ubuntu.com/100164/
[08:37] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> raylu, Whats speaker test? i try the sound playback test.
[08:37] <raylu> !dock
[08:37] <jason> I have that joeb3 but don't know how to install it
[08:38] <raylu> !search dock
[08:38] <raylu> CoUrPsE|DeAd: run "speaker-test"
[08:38] <jason> its in tar.gz format
[08:38] <joeb3_> jason, tar -zxf filename.tar.gz
[08:38] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave --- Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
[08:38] <Don_Miguel> raylu, it says    The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
[08:38] <Don_Miguel> Remove the following packages:
[08:38] <Don_Miguel> firefox-3.0-gnome-support
[08:38] <Don_Miguel> firefox-gnome-support
[08:38] <Don_Miguel> ubuntu-desktop
[08:38] <FloodBot2> Don_Miguel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:38] <Don_Miguel>          do I REALLY want to REMOVE those ???  I am USING them !!
[08:38] <Kartagis> i tried to create a keybinding in gconf-editor. is there a was to toggle it? Ctrl+Alt+d works find toggling
[08:38] <jason> thats the command?
[08:39] <Kartagis> s/was/way
[08:39] <Lars> New Question: I am trying to set up dual displays. I have updated my system, installed nvidia-settings, currently my GPU-0 is detected both displays (an Acer LCD registering as DFP-1 - (DFP-1) and an HP LCD as CRT-0 - (HP vs17) ), I currently have TwinView enabled, both screens positioned correctly, and all of that. The Acer however is not getting a signal, period.
[08:39] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie can you go to places>computer>file system>mnt
[08:39] <Kartagis> jason, you asked me?
[08:39] <Robbie_Crash> and tell me if that's got your USB drive in it?
[08:39] <joeb3_> jason, that's the command to uncompress the file you downloaded.
[08:39] <raylu> Don_Miguel: ubuntu-desktp is a virtual package, so it's not a big deal
[08:39] <Igramul> I am switching to Fluxbox. How can I open the audio mixer from command line?
[08:40] <jason> and just uncompress where?
[08:40] <raylu> Don_Miguel: and you can live without firefox-gnome-support for now.
[08:40] <raylu> !info firefox-3.0-gnome-support
[08:40] <Don_Miguel> raylu, so I just CLOSE firefox  ?
[08:40] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, when I open places>Computer .... I get err msg "Nautilus cannot handle computer: locations."
[08:40] <raylu> Don_Miguel: you don't even have to do that, though it can't hurt
[08:40] <raylu> Don_Miguel: the only downside is that if packages are added to ubuntu-desktop, you won't be notified of them
[08:40] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie hold on one second
[08:41] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Its like the sound device is owned by root and not letting me run audio.
[08:41] <miranda_psi> jason: just uncompress it anywhere really, though somewhere like /usr/lib/ would be a good place
[08:41] <Don_Miguel> raylu, it is a BIG PAIN to close out FF ... as I have LOTS of tabs active !  do I need to close it for safety ?
[08:41] <Kartagis> i tried to create a keybinding in gconf-editor. is there a way to toggle it? Ctrl+Alt+d works fine toggling
[08:42] <miranda_psi> jason: the you just create a symbolic link to the .so object thats in there in the firefox plugins directory
[08:42] <jason> ok and then what
[08:42] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie from the system panel, you click on Places, then Computer, and that Nautilus error comes up?
[08:42] <robin0800> send% test
[08:42] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, yes
[08:42] <rww> !test | robin0800
[08:42] <miranda_psi> jason: once the symbolic link is in place, simply restart firefox and it should all be set
[08:43] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie when did you install Ubuntu, and how did you do it?
[08:43] <jason> ok i have to say can i not just but the .so in /usr/firefox 3.05/plugins directory
[08:43] <raylu> Don_Miguel: like i said, no
[08:43] <raylu> Don_Miguel: but firefox 3 should remember your tabs anyway
[08:44] <jason> I tried that and it gave me a permission error
[08:44] <raylu> CoUrPsE|DeAd: not sure how much help this will be: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=474168
[08:44] <Lars> Rewording: my HP LCD is detecting in nvidia-settings as a CRT...it displays, but when I try to enable twin mode with my Acer (which detects as a DFP), the Acer doesn't get a signal
[08:44] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, I installed Ubuntu 8.04 on November 19 from ubuntu CD that was shipped by cannonical
[08:44] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie are you still using 8.04?
[08:44] <Robbie_Crash> or have you done the dist_upgrade?
[08:44] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, yes
[08:45] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie which?
[08:45] <Mayank> my ubuntu is not getting internet connection
[08:45] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, Ubuntu 8.04
[08:45] <Don_Miguel> raylu, so I say  Y   and accept the solution ? OK
[08:45] <raylu> Robbie_Crash: why would his/her usb drive be mounted at /mnt...?
[08:45] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie thanks, one second. You may have the GVFS issue. Let me research a second here.
[08:45] <raylu> Don_Miguel: yes
[08:45] <miranda_psi> jason: doesn't work like that - the .so may require other files and if they are not there then it won't work so just use the symbolic link (ln -s /file/to/link/to /path/to/link)
[08:46] <Mayank> my ubuntu is not getting internet connection
[08:47] <Don_Miguel> raylu, DONE .. would you like the paste ?
[08:47] <alex_sleiborg> How do i start a program from the terminal, and when i close my terminal. Then the app should still run?
[08:47] <Robbie_Crash> raylu that's the only thing I saw that looked like a USB drive in the mount output
[08:47] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sure
[08:47] <raylu> Robbie_Crash: i know, but i'm wondering why it's mounted there in the first place
[08:47] <Lars> HELP! my HP LCD is detecting in nvidia-settings as a CRT...it displays, but when I try to enable twin mode with my Acer (which detects as a DFP), the Acer doesn't get a signal

[08:49] <Don_Miguel> raylu,     http://paste.ubuntu.com/100170/    for results of      sudo aptitude remove xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support
[08:50] <homy> Hello, I have a problem with the "Create USB Startup disk". I used the programm to create a intrepid 32bit startup disk (but I'm using a 64bit intrepid os). It did that successfully (at least it said that), but I can't boot from it. I know my bios can do that, as a also tried selecting the boot device manually (using F9), selecting "Removable". But then it just says sth like No bootable medium found.
[08:50] <kaps1> Igramul:probably my mbr got messed up ?
[08:50] <Robbie_Crash> raylu I have no idea. She's not done anything abnormal from what she's said, it just mounted there. And she's got an old GVFS error it sounds like, and short of a dist upgrade I'm not sure how to fix that, so I'm reading up on that.
[08:50] <Mayank> my ubuntu is not getting internet connection
[08:50] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie sit tight, I'm still looking
[08:50] <Slart> kaps1: how does it say unallocated? an error message from grub? in gparted? fdisk?
[08:50] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, OK
[08:50] <Igramul> kaps1, try booting from the live system and fix the grub installation from there.
[08:50] <kaps1> Slart: in gparted
[08:51] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie does your USB disk have any files on it?
[08:51] <Mayank> anybody  plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz?
[08:51] <Mayank> my ubuntu is not getting internet connection
[08:51] <Lars> raylu: I'll need a little guidance here
[08:51] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, yes
[08:51] <Slart> !details | Mayank
[08:51] <Igramul> kaps1, ouch... did You remove the partition dirung the installation of Windows?
[08:51] <kaps1> Igramul:I did the same but gparted itself is not able to detect linux partition
[08:51] <raylu> Don_Miguel: what... the...
[08:51] <Mayank> my ubuntu is not getting internet connection, 8.10
[08:51] <raylu> Don_Miguel: might want to add that paste to your bug report
[08:52] <Slart> kaps1: hmm... and you're sure you're looking at the right disk, at the right place?
[08:52] <chris_> hi
[08:52] <chris_> i have an annoying problem with compiz-fusion. everytime i open a window it will stop for a split second before continuing. otherwise it runs absolutely smoothly. i couldn't find anything useful in google. any suggestions?
[08:52] <Slart> kaps1: are there any ext partitions at all anywhere?
[08:52] <raylu> Lars: just try some of the commands/options
[08:52] <kaps1> Igramul:I didnt removed the linux partition but others and reformatted them with new size
[08:52] <Lars> raylu, I wouldn't know where to begin...
[08:52] <cwillu> chris_, what kind of card, and lots of windows open?
[08:52] <kaps1>  Slart:yes there is one swap and another ext3
[08:53] <raylu> Lars: xrandr --help is where to begin :D
[08:53] <homy> Can anybody help me with my usb-creator problem?
[08:53] <Slart> kaps1: you're sure you didn't install it to the wrong partition?
[08:53] <chris_> cwillu: nvidia gforce 8600gt. no, it happens with any number of windows
[08:53] <Igramul> kaps1, what's the "another ext3"? /boot ?
[08:53] <Lars> raylu, I have it up, but I don't know which command is the one I want, mainly because I don't know what the problem is to begin with
[08:53] <raylu> Lars: i think if you just run "xrandr", it should give you the status of your displays
[08:53] <kaps1>  Slart: I tried testdevice it shows me ext3 is there but filesystem corrupted
[08:53] <Lars> raylu, I have no idea WHY my acer isn't getting a signal
[08:53] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> raylu, Not much help sadly, :(
[08:54] <kaps1> Igramul: didnt got your question ?
[08:54] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie can you open a terminal, and cd to /mount
[08:54] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, OK
[08:54] <raylu> Robbie_Crash: /mnt? /media?
[08:54] <Igramul> kaps1, try mounting that ext3 from a live CD. If mount fails, You can try ext3.fsck
[08:55] <kaps1> Igramul: mount fails
[08:55] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, this is what I got bash: cd: /mount: No such file or directory
[08:55] <Robbie_Crash> Sorry,  raylu is right, /mnt, not /mount.
[08:55] <Slart> kaps1: hmm.. I haven't done enough partition recoveries to feel that I can give advice at this point.. I might just as well make things worse
[08:55] <Mayank> my ubuntu is not getting internet connection, 8.10
[08:55] <raylu> kaps1, Slar, Igramul: sudo fdisk -l
[08:55] <Slart> Mayank: more details..
[08:56] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Whats the sound device called in /dev?
[08:56] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie it's /mnt, pardon me, after that, type 'ls' and tell me if you're seeing any of the files and folders you should be seeing?
[08:56] <rww> Mayank: how is it supposed to be connected to the internet? Ethernet? Wireless? Pastebin the output of lspci and lsusb...
[08:56] <Lars> raylu, this is all german to me, with my configuration, I need to know WHY the second output isn't working
[08:56] <Mayank> Slart, i have 2 pc's, first has ubuntu 8.10, p-4, 1gb ram, airtel internet (delhi)
[08:56] <Kartagis> i tried to create a keybinding in gconf-editor. is there a way to toggle it? Ctrl+Alt+d works fine toggling
[08:57] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, No
[08:57] <Slart> Mayank: and airtel internet means?
[08:57] <kaps1> raylu:  Slar, Igramul: sudo fdisk -l shows as /dev/sda6            4742        7492    20797528+   4  FAT16 <32M ?
[08:57] <Mayank> first has internet without problem, but another is not connection, its says connection is disconnected
[08:57] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie does anything show up after that command?
[08:57] <Slart> Mayank: wired connection? ppp? 3g? wireless?
[08:57] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, No
[08:57] <Robbie_Crash> Hmm, ok.
[08:57] <Mayank> i am in india, new delhi, both have wired connection
[08:57] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie, one second please

[08:59] <Mayank> slart, when i have installed ubuntu on the first pc, i have just installed nad internet is working fine
[08:59] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, 2 days ago and then the problem started
[08:59] <Lars> I'm trying to get my two monitors to work, can somebody walk me through and find out where the problem is?
[08:59] <raylu> Don_Miguel: dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support
[09:00] <HellFire-Au> how come in a network bridge, wpa_gui for wpa_supplicant only gets upto ASSOCIATED then drops back down to DISCONNECTED then repeats. No ip is getting assigned, password error or something else?
[09:00] <raylu> !in | Mayank
[09:00] <Mayank> slart, the only difference is i have working internet connection pc have clean ubuntu installed (means no wubi)

[09:00] <kaps1> raylu: fdisk -l is showing my ext3 partition as FAT16 ?

[09:01] <raylu> kaps1: ...then why do you say it's a ext3 partition?
[09:01] <Mayank> slart, the only difference is i have working internet connection pc have clean ubuntu installed (means no wubi), and other one has wubi with xp which is not connection to internet..
[09:02] <rww> Mayank: Does the PC connect to the internet okay in XP?
[09:02] <Pabix> Hello, do you know whether it is possible to make Synaptics faster when sorting packages by whether or not they are supported by the Ubuntu developers?
[09:02] <kaps1> raylu: I never formatted it as FAT16 , it was originally ext3 and I only changed other partitions for sure
[09:02] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie were USB drives showing up properly before the update?

[09:05] <kaps1> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[09:05] <fjae> hi all
[09:05] <kaps1> raylu: it asks to specify filesystem ?
[09:05] <rww> CoUrPsE|DeAd: you shouldn't need to. The "Unlock" button at the bottom of the Users and Groups window will authenticate you and allow you to do administrator stuff.
[09:05] <raylu> kaps1: o.0. try -t vfat
[09:06] <homy> but I used the "Create usb startup disk" utitlity that is pre-installed in Ubuntu 8.10! So I don't need Unetbootin? The problem is only that the medium doesn't boot, even though usb-creator said it would.
[09:06] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> rww, Sorry, didnt even see the unlock button.
[09:06] <raylu> CoUrPsE|DeAd: and of course, there's always usermod

[09:07] <Robbie_Crash> Maggie According to this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801597&page=3 many users have had a similar problem with their GVFS, which could be causing this problem with your USB drives, and mostly fixed the issue by installing the newest version of GVFS from source, which can be found here: ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gvfs/1.1/
[09:07] <jinja-sheep> Is there an excellent tool that can monitor your network?  Displaying the network graphic of several days?  Statistics, etc.

[09:08] <xfm_> Hello. I use ubuntu 8.10. I have a sound problem: sometimes the sound is oddly turned off for a few seconds then turned on automatically. I hav noticed this on various progs as vlc or firefox.
[09:08] <fjae> does anybody know why there are some connections established by tor as root at the boot of ubuntu?
[09:08] <raylu> Don_Miguel: not that i mind, but why does it take so long to run these commands and pastebin the results?
[09:08] <homy> raylu: could the problem be that I started usb-creator in a 64bit intrepid os but installed 32bit to the usb drive?
[09:09] <Maggie> Robbie_Crash, sure
[09:09] <homy> raylu: but usb-creator should work if it is included by default in ubuntu

[09:12] <aprilhare> i am having a firefox/flash problem. after a heavy firefox session, i sometimes find that flash doesn't display at all. i have to restart firefox to get it going again, but it's getting more frequent. is there anything i can do?
[09:13] <kaps1> raylu : it says superblock invalid ?

[09:13] <fjae> Is it normal to start my system and tor has an establshed connection to an external adress from a 1064 -64XXX local range to a 443 external port?
[09:13] <kaps1> raylu: can you  plz suggest something as to how can I recover from this corrupted partition ?
[09:14] <rww> fjae: you might get better insight in channel #tor on this server or on irc.oftc.net.
[09:14] <chrislees> xfm_: Maybe Pulseaudio is crashing and then restarting itself? Have you tried "killall pulseaudio" in a terminal to see if this fixes the problem

[09:15] <fuctfly> my ekiga is stuck at 2.0.12
[09:16] <raylu> xfm_, chrislees: also consider disabling pulseaudio altogether

[09:16] <xfm_> raylu: I've read on blogs that it was not as easy as we wished in 8.10
[09:16] <fuctfly> anybody can give me any advice in this situation?
[09:16] <aprilhare> how do i go about installing the 64 bit flash plugin cleanly?
[09:16] <raylu> xfm_: it = ?
[09:17] <raylu> fuctfly: 8.1 = ?
[09:17] <xfm_> raylu: disabling pulsaudio
[09:17] <aprilhare> !flash
[09:17] <chrislees> raylu: I just tried it, Pulseaudio has gone
[09:17] <raylu> !pulseaudio
[09:17] <rww> fuctfly: That's the most current version of ekiga in the Ubuntu Intrepid repositories. The next version of Ubuntu will have 3.0.1 (or higher).
[09:17] <raylu> chrislees: but on your system, pulseaudio wasn't being screwy in the first place :D

[09:18] <fasta> How do I disable the fancy window effects?
[09:18] <fuctfly> my bad

[09:21] <Don_Miguel> raylu, I do not know that THAT ( an apt crash )  is the problem ... will it hurt anything to try     sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a       ??
[09:21] <chrislees> xfm_: The killall command is only temporary; rebooting will restart pulseaudio. In any case, it looks like Pulseaudio is running even though you are getting error messages
[09:21] <fuctfly> basically what i am trying to do is to see if i am able to call video relay interpreters via ekiga..

[09:21] <Robbie_Crash> !twinview
[09:21] <Robbie_Crash> I guess that doesn't help at all
[09:21] <raylu> Don_Miguel: it's similar to the solution at the bottom of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6198889
[09:22] <Lars> Robbie_Crash, nope
[09:22] <fuctfly> when there is aptitude, it makes much easier to install or remove whatever i put on it..

[09:22] <rww> fuctfly: The relevant bug for this is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ekiga/+bug/274085 . Give it a read through and see if it helps.
[09:23] <tripchronic> hello everybody
[09:23] <fuctfly> ekiga is already installed..  i just need to add h.264 codec to it which is supposedly to be added in the 3.0 version and its nowhere to be found on the snapshot server for apt-get
[09:23] <Don_Miguel> raylu, done    now what ?
[09:23] <Mayank> every time its only have 800x600
[09:23] <fuctfly> i even added deb www. in the sources.list
[09:23] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[09:23] <fuctfly> no luck still
[09:23] <xfm_> chrislees: The problem is still there. How could I monitor pulseaudio? Perhaps launch it from a term? But I can't if pulsaudio relaunches automatically

[09:23] <fuctfly> i will read that link

[09:24] <tripchronic> chkrootkit just gave me "eth0: PACKET SNIFFER(/sbin/dhclient3[6073])"  should i be worried?
[09:24] <Mayank> how i do 1024x768 my permanent resolution?
[09:24] <chrislees> xfm_: Keeping an eye on the terminal output might yield some clues, if pulseaudio is the problem
[09:24] <rww> raylu: the new version of ekiga requires different dependencies from the current Intrepid version, so I doubt that'll work =/

[09:29] <fuctfly> ok
[09:29] <fuctfly> i already added this to the sources.list file
[09:29] <rww> CoUrPsE|DeAd: That's odd, you should have one. You could just create /etc/modules with the contents "radeon", owner root:root, permissions -rw-r--r--, and it should work.

[09:29] <chrislees> ChrisDavaz: with the desktop CD you can give special boot options that can sometimes get Ubuntu to boot when otherwise it won't - have you tried specifying these at the boot menu? (there's a list you can bring up if you hit one of the F keys, I think it might be F4
[09:29] <fuctfly> if thats wrong, it might explain my issues

[09:31] <b1gbawx> ever since i selected x windows to not load on startup my usb external harddrive wont load while in x. is there a way to fix this
[09:31] <rww> fuctfly: that repository doesn't have intrepid packages in it.
[09:31] <fuctfly> that way you can understand exactly what i am shooting for right now..  =)
[09:31] <fuctfly> i noticed..
[09:31] <fuctfly> only debian does..
[09:31] <fuctfly> acquire files from debain then?
[09:31] <fuctfly> since ubuntu is based on debian?

[09:38] <rww> Lo_: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[09:39] <Don_Miguel> raylu, "slow" is probably tired operator being very very careful to follow instructions correctly  :-)    will now attempt to     try "sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.0-gnome-support" first, then sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support

[09:40] <fuctfly> trying their chan now
[09:40] <CarlFK> raylu: swelll :)

[09:40] <Tekno> its 11:40 AM
[09:40] <fosco_> fuctfly: not everyone has your timezone :-)
[09:40] <rww> Lo_: try "mv ~/.wine ~/.wine_old". That'll move your wine configuration out of the way and make a new one. Try running winecfg again after that.
[09:40] <raylu> jessie: using "works" in the same sentence as something about wifi is often an overstatement :P. madwifi works, sometimes

[09:43] <Lo_> rww: but how to "restore" my programs?
[09:43] <rww> Lo_: okay, so something is screwy with your .wine directory... hmm.
[09:43] <Don_Miguel> raylu, still reading that one ... so far it seems we have tried all those that apply and I am unclear on how to DO some of those ... and my mind is not so clear at almost 0600 AM ...
[09:44] <Lo_> rww: Yes. definitly
[09:44] <rww> Lo_: I'd recommend going into #winehq and telling them about it. They know way more about this than me...
[09:45] <jessie> dam acer laptops have serious problems with their wifi on ubuntu
[09:45] <MartinN00b> join #Ubuntu:
[09:45] <rww> Lo_: like I said, though, to restore your old configuration, remove the new one: "rm -r ~/.wine" and move the old one back: "mv ~/.wine_old ~/.wine"
[09:45] <Lo_> rww: Thank you so much.
[09:45] <b1gbawx> ever since i selected x windows to not load on startup my usb external harddrive wont load while in x. is there a way to fix this it worked before
[09:45] <Lo_> rww: I'll check that out.. anyway thanks for putting me on the right track ;)
[09:46] <raylu> Don_Miguel: "ls -F /var/lib/dpkg", find /var/lib/dpkg -name "*xulrunner*", grep -r xulrunner /var/lib/dpkg
[09:46] <raylu> Don_Miguel: could you run those three and show me what they produced?
[09:47] <jason> Hey guys I have both my moniters working but all my windows open in the middle and maximize thur both screens
[09:47] <KJ4HZW> jason: that sounds awesome
[09:48] <travisivart> In this recent install of 8.10 on a laptop, I've had some problems with sound. It sounds really jarbled. Any ideas?
[09:48] <bottiger> How is ubuntus partitioning tool? If you have a whole harddrive formatted in ntfs, can you then resize it and create a new partition?
[09:49] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OK ....   (1) ls -F /var/lib/dpkg   (2) find /var/lib/dpkg -name "*xulrunner*"  (3)  grep -r xulrunner /var/lib/dpkg        uhh, Is (2) a terminal command ??
[09:49] <KJ4HZW> bottiger: it works fine for that, just make sure you shut down windows cleanly first
[09:49] <raylu> Don_Miguel: yes
[09:49] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OK
[09:50] <ghaleb> hello, I notice a high disk activity .. how can I know which is the process asking for disk i/o ?
[09:50] <allsystemsarego> ghaleb, iotop
[09:51] <ghaleb> allsystemsarego: thank you
[09:51] <bottiger> KJ4HZW: thank you
[09:51] <rww> bottiger: yes. You can do that easily during install, or with gparted from the Live CD>
[09:52] <blkdomini> hello
[09:53] <jason> KJ4Hzw what sounds awesome the fact that all my windows maximize covering both screens
[09:54] <Don_Miguel> raylu, wow, #3 is huge  ... and I lost #1 & #2  and part of #3   how can I include it if I do not see it in the terminal ???
[09:55] <raylu> Don_Miguel: you can just give me the first two, then. (pressing up in terminal will give you the last few commands you ran
[09:55] <raylu> Don_Miguel: as for getting the third, "grep -r xulrunner /var/lib/dpkg | head"
[09:56] <raylu> Don_Miguel: will give only the first 10 lines, which may be of use
[09:59] <pogztimz> hello veryone. wat package should i download for converting *.avi files into *.mp4 format?
[09:59] <Don_Miguel> raylu, I do not seem to be able to scroll back ... there are hundreds of lines for #3 (grep) so i will repeat the first two and paste them, then repeat #3
[09:59] <Tekno> pogztimz: avidemux
[10:00] <pogztimz> Tekno: ty and happy new yeeeear.. :)
[10:00] <Tekno> :)
[10:00] <faileas> pogztimz: i think ffmpeg would do it
[10:01] <Tulga> I cannot install 8.04 on the raid1 server. ubuntu found 2 disks. how to solve it?
[10:02] <GbigG> hi - can somebody help me to get my raid5 with mdadm after reboot working?
[10:03] <Slart> ehm.. when did ubuntu start playing mp3s just because I hoover my mouse pointer over them? is there someone I can send a "kick-in-the-groin"'o'gram to?
[10:03] <Lo_> bbl
[10:03] <faileas> lol
[10:04] <Slart> Tulga: what kind of raid? hardware? software? on board raid?
[10:04] <rww> Slart: Edit > Preferences > Preview > Previw Sound Files: Never, maybe?
[10:05] <Tulga> board raid configured HDD for raid1
[10:05] <Tulga> another OS found 1 HDD, but ubuntu found 2 HDDs :(
[10:05] <rww> Slart: looks like that's it. /me turns it off too
[10:05] <Slart> nautilus.. I should have known.. =)
[10:05] <Slart> thanks rww
[10:06] <rww> Slart: you're welcome :)
[10:06] <Slart> Tulga: fakeraid (as they are called in linux) can be tricky ...
[10:07] <Slart> !fakeraid | Tulga
[10:07] <colton_> what does the tilde ~ before a directory mean ?
[10:07] <GbigG> home directory
[10:07] <Slart> colton_: your home folder.. /home/colton_ or similar
[10:07] <colton_> ~/data,
[10:07] <colton_> It means that it is a home directory?
[10:07] <colton_> How many home directories can there be?
[10:08] <Slart> colton_: one
[10:08] <Tekno> as many as users
[10:08] <Slart> colton_: one per user =)
[10:08] <colton_> When I tilde a directory it becomes invisible for some reason why is this?
[10:08] <raylu> tilde a directory?
[10:08] <rww> colton_, what do you mean by "tilde a directory"? put a ~ at the end of it?
[10:08] <Slart> colton_: hmm.. how do you "tilde a directory"?
[10:08] <colton_> ~/
[10:09] <Tekno> ~/data is short for /home/colton/data
[10:09] <bazyl> hi everyone !
[10:09] <colton_> ~/data
[10:09] <t94xr_laptop> hey, i have a Sony Ericsson, im having trouble with Ubuntu recognising my phone in either usb mode or phone mode connected via usb - this isnt a bluetooth issue, just a usb device issue
[10:09] <Slart> instead of writing ~/data you can write /home/<yourusername>/data.. it's the same thing..
[10:09] <archman> hello
[10:10] <Don_Miguel> raylu, sorry for the delay   http://paste.ubuntu.com/100200/
[10:10] <EvilMonki> hello
[10:11] <archman> i have wine 0.9.59 installed from repos, and now i'm building new release. can i run it from the source folder without 'make install' ? how to run it properly?
[10:11] <archman> i wanna have two of them...
[10:11] <raylu> Don_Miguel: this is long shot...
[10:11] <raylu> Don_Miguel: cd /var/lib
[10:11] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo mv dpkg dpkg-b
[10:11] <Slart> archman: I'm not sure if you can.. but perhaps.. ask in #winehq instead.. they are the real wine experts
[10:12] <rww> archman, ask in #winehq
[10:12] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[10:12] <SiDi> I think it's just "make", archman
[10:12] <archman> ok
[10:12]  * SiDi didn't know about winehq channel :o
[10:12] <rww> archman, it'll probably end up involving passing an option to ./configure, though, if wine is anything like most other programs.
[10:12] <puff> so, I have several USB drive enclosures.  I have had a variety of problems with the drives that came  with the enclosures, because they were preformatted to NTFS, making them difficult to use on certain versionsof linux and macosx.
[10:12] <t94xr_laptop> hey, i have a Sony Ericsson, im having trouble with Ubuntu recognising my phone in either usb mode or phone mode connected via usb - this isnt a bluetooth issue, just a usb device issue
[10:13] <puff> However, because people started putting data on the preformatted NTFS partitions, it was not feasibleto reformat them.
[10:13] <puff> I am about to start usinga 500GB drive.  Before Put data on it and make it unfeasible to reformat it, what format should I put on it?
[10:13] <archman> rww: i did configure --prefix to another location...
[10:13] <rww> archman, then make install should install it to that other location.
[10:13] <nsadmin> puff: consider an lvm PV
[10:13] <rww> puff, which operating systems need to be able to read the drive?
[10:13] <puff> rww: All of them.
[10:13] <nsadmin> then a PV woudlnt' work
[10:14] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OK   (1)  cd /var/lib  (2) sudo mv dpkg dpkg-b  (3)  sudo aptitude safe-upgrade       is there spozed to be a SPACE in #2  -b ??
[10:14] <t94xr_laptop> rww: lol fat32 should read ok
[10:14] <rww> puff, do you need the ability to create files larger than 4GB?
[10:14] <puff> t94xr_laptop: I cannot help you directly, but I can point out bitpim, which is a python-based PIM that has support for a great many phones.
[10:14] <raylu> Don_Miguel: no
[10:15] <puff> rww: Not generally, though it is likely I will be sneakernetting around multimedia files (e.g. movies, etc) with this drive.
[10:15] <raylu> Don_Miguel: i wonder what happens when you run apt/dpkg without /var/lib/dpkg. i don't want to remove it, of course, so we're renaming it to dpkg-b
[10:15] <archman> rww: they answered me to just run the shortcut in the root of the source (the one that points to /tools/winewrapper
[10:15] <nsadmin> puff: why not use the drive to temporarily hold the files on the ntfs drives so you can put a different fs on them?
[10:15] <t94xr_laptop> puff: its not the program, i can do that, ubuntu doesnt recognising my phone - when its usb mode (flash stick mode) or in phone mode
[10:15] <nsadmin> then when you're done, use the drive for whatever
[10:15] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OK .. as a #4 ? in this list ?
[10:15] <rww> puff, because the only filesystem supported out-of-the-box by Ubuntu, OS X, and Windows is FAT32, which has a 4GB-per-file size limit.
[10:15] <puff> rww:  however, to date most of those files are under 4GB.
[10:16] <raylu> Don_Miguel: er? you've already given me 1, 2, and 3. what would it mean if it were 4?
[10:16] <rww> puff, Windows and Ubuntu can read and write ntfs out of the box, but OS X can only read. Only Ubuntu can read ext2/3 out of the box (OS X and Windows require plugins). HFS+ is a pain in the ass on anything that isn't OS X...
[10:16] <Don_Miguel> I have just done  1 & 2 about to do 3 ...
[10:16] <puff> nsadmin: Well yes, that's a possibility, but if there's a better format to put on this drive sarting out, I'd prefer to do so
[10:17] <raylu> Don_Miguel: hm? you've already shown me grep -r xulrunner /var/lib/dpkg | head
[10:17] <puff> rww: Okay, so are there any major drawbacks to fat32?
[10:17] <rww> puff, 4GB-per-file size limit and no file permissions.
[10:17] <puff> rww: I suspect I can live with that.
[10:17] <rww> puff, if you don't have any >4GB files, and you don't need file permissions, use FAT32.
[10:18] <nsadmin> puff: if you're going to use the drive for temporary purposes, the filesystem you pick should be for the temporary purpose... after that, you can format to whatever you want for the more permanent purpose
[10:18] <Don_Miguel> raylu, in current list you gave me, I am about to do    sudo aptitude safe-upgrade     and then you said: [06:15] <raylu> Don_Miguel: i wonder what happens when you run apt/dpkg without /var/lib/dpkg. i don't want to remove it, of course, so we're renaming it to dpkg-b
[10:19] <puff> nsadmin: I'm going to use the drive in an external USB enclosure as a combination of backup device and sneakernet
[10:19] <puff> The latter purpose most likely for movies, etc.
[10:19] <raylu> Don_Miguel: ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[10:19] <puff> Which makes macosx a priority, win32 a lesser priority.
[10:19] <nsadmin> what about the other drives? do you want to reformat them and rewrite the data to them?
[10:19] <raylu> Don_Miguel: "mv dpkg dpkg-b" renames dpkg to dpkg-b
[10:19] <puff> So, I can live with <4GB and no user permissions.
[10:19] <raylu> Don_Miguel: i was just explaining what those 3 commands do
[10:20] <puff> nsadmin: Eventually I'd like ot reformat them.  I have about 5-6 drives in the 160GB to 250GB range, and one terabyte drive.  All formatted ntfs.
[10:20] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OH, OK ... I did mention TIRED I think !  <grin>
[10:20] <puff> nsadmin: However, for now I just want to get this new drive set up "right".
[10:20] <t94xr_laptop> puff: may i suggest a NAS (Network Attached Storage)
[10:21] <nsadmin> puff: you could do those now, before you put the 500g drive into permanent service... you have that opportunity until you do so
[10:21] <puff> nsadmin: Then I can contemplate shuffling data around and reformatting drives.   Two ofthe drives (250GB each) don't seem to work proeperly.
[10:21] <puff> nsadmin: Getting the new drive working is a higher priority than shuffling, etc.
[10:22] <Trenter> I'm a migrating windows user and I am trying to find the Linux equivilant of Task Manager, mainly because I am trying to force stop a program in wine
[10:22] <nsadmin> I'm just saying you can shuffle more easily now than you would be able to if you put the drive into permanent service now
[10:22] <puff> t94xr_laptop: I'm considering that, but more likely before that happens, I'll get another terabyte drive (or two) and stickthem in a spare ubuntu box as a fileserver.
[10:22] <PolitikerALT> Trenter: Try CTRL+ESC
[10:22] <nsadmin> other than the tb drive
[10:22] <PolitikerALT> Trenter: or start the gnome-system-monitor
[10:22] <puff> nsadmin: Yes, and if I wanted to spend a week copying data back and forth, I'd consider that.
[10:22] <rww> puff, you could also stick with ntfs and use the ntfs-3g FUSE driver on Ubuntu and OS X, now that I think of it.
[10:22] <rww> !ntfs-3g | puff
[10:23] <puff> rww: Yeah, but then I'd have to worry about upgrading the macosx boxen and that gets political.
[10:23] <rww> puff, ah. Nevermind that idea, then.
[10:23] <puff> rww: I'm just looking for the "right" format to moveto, at this point.
[10:23] <Don_Miguel> raylu,  here is paste #12 !   http://paste.ubuntu.com/100206/
[10:23] <PolitikerALT> Trenter: you could also run xkill to kill a window
[10:23] <nsadmin> you can still use ntfs-3g to access the drives which already are ntfs
[10:24] <puff> rww: Most likely,what will happen is I'll get this 500GB working in an enclosure, and then at some point in the not-imediate but not too distant future, stick all the 160GB-250GB drives in a spare ubuntu box and back them up to a fresh terabyte drive.
[10:24] <Trenter> I have a window titled "Untitled Window" but it does not show up in the list of processes
[10:24] <PolitikerALT> run xkill and klick on the window
[10:24] <puff> rww: Baby steps, man  :-).
[10:24] <puff> rww: Thanks for the advice
[10:24] <raylu> Don_Miguel: sudo mkdir dpkg
[10:25] <PolitikerALT> (alt+f2) and then enter xkill
[10:25]  * nsadmin notes in passing that backing up a drive to another drive is not the safest choice
[10:25] <raylu> Don_Miguel: and then safe-upgrade again
[10:25] <nsadmin> if you have that much storage and you're supporting people for work, then you need tape drives
[10:26] <raylu> Trenter: the equivalent of task manager is the command line tool "top". otherwise, ctrl+esc may give you a gui version. "ps -e" is useful too.
[10:26] <Don_Miguel> raylu, OK  sudo mkdir dpkg    and then    safe-upgrade again
[10:26] <puff> nsadmin: Yeah, that's a whole 'nuther issue. Tape drives are kinda pricey.  This is an odd situation, not quite "work" but not personal either.
[10:26] <raylu> Trenter: but what you probably want is wineserver -k
[10:26] <Trenter> That did it, many thanks
[10:26] <nsadmin> then does money change hands in exchange for use of the storage?
[10:27] <marcin_ant> hello all
[10:28] <puff> nsadmin: Not really.  It's a small coalition of cash-poor freelancers and 3D guys trying to get a toehold.
[10:28] <PolitikerALT> Hello, is there some thing like "RAID over Lan"? I mean like synchronisation, but syncronizing all the time when a file has changed.
[10:28] <marcin_ant> how can I change datetemporary just to run some application with specific system date and time?
[10:29] <raylu> !rsync
[10:29] <raylu> o.0
[10:29] <kaneda__> unusual
[10:29] <raylu> PolitikerALT: you want rsync
[10:30] <puff> nsadmin: there are days (many) when I want to just go do another financial corp consulting gig and throw a lot of money at the infrastructure, and maybe someday I will, but meanwhile I'm just trying to make it work.
[10:30] <Don_Miguel> raylu, do we need to rename/move   dpkg-b   back to   dpkg  ??
[10:31] <puff> what a cool quote:  "A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed. ~ Archbishop Desmond Tutu, 1999"
[10:31] <raylu> Don_Miguel: no, making dpkg should be enough. why?
[10:31] <PolitikerALT> raylu: rsync has a daemon? mom, I'll have a look
[10:31] <raylu> mom?
[10:31] <Don_Miguel> raylu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100214/
[10:31] <GbigG> hi - somebody know how to get mdadm raid after reboot?
[10:31] <GbigG> to work
[10:31] <PolitikerALT> moment, I'm reading the manual
[10:32] <raylu> PolitikerALT: oh. i should mention that i have no experience with it
[10:32] <puff> PolitikerALT: It can, depends on how you're using it.
[10:32] <puff> PolitikerALT: I have only brushed the surface with rsync, but one mode of using it is you run rsync locally and it pushes deltas (changed data) to a daemon on the remote system.
[10:32] <nils> -de
[10:32] <nils> #ubuntu-de
[10:33] <rww> nils, /join #ubuntu-de
[10:33] <PolitikerALT> puff: Ah, that would be exactly what I need, thanks
[10:33] <nils> Sorry
[10:33] <Ruudi> greetings
[10:33] <Ruudi> HNY
[10:33] <Gabbsmo> Is it possible to make a ALTERNATE install USB with UNetbootin?
[10:34] <Ruudi> anyone speaks russian? could use some help to translate "IT support" to russian
[10:34] <puff> PolitikerALT: Just a heads up, in my expereince rysnc is very finicky about file specifications, specifically it seems most straightforward thing to do is to specify *both* the source and destination paths with a trailing slash, e.g. rsynch /source/path/ /dest/path/
[10:34] <rww> !ru | Ruudi
[10:35] <Ruudi> thnx rww
[10:35] <PolitikerALT> puff: thanks
[10:36] <puff> PolitikerALT: The trailing slash tells rsync that you want "path" to be a directory at both locations, and you want th econtents of "path" to be synchronized.  Beyond that it gets iffy, but the safest thing seems to be to have the final element in the file spec be a directory name with a trailing slash.
[10:36] <puff> PolitikerALT: I suspect this is rsync's achilles heel, and if they ever fix it rsync will become far more widespread.
[10:36] <rww> trailing slashes in rsync irritate the heck out of me :(
[10:37] <johny> Helloo
[10:37]  * johny says hello
[10:37] <puff> rww: Tell me about it :-).
[10:38] <puff> rww: Tip:  if you ever have to clean up the results of such, kdiff-3 is invaluable.  Also incredibly handy for when you drift off source control and are trying to merge changes back in.
[10:38] <wj32> how do I disable middle-click pasting?
[10:40] <puff> rww: However, kdiff-3 can easily bog down on some common use cases.  For example, when I was using kdiff3 to merge a couple different backups of my user directory, I found it *much* easier after I first a) cleaned up mozilla and beagle .files, b) moved four or five jdk hierarhies out of all versions of my user directory .
[10:40] <johny> I'm on ATI radeon 9700 card, can't use fglrx with Intrepid, therefore, I got back to the "ati open-source" driver, but my xorg.cong isn't still configured, which is weird. Can anyone of you have a look http://paste2.org/p/124870
[10:41] <rww> johny, Intrepid's version of Xorg does extensive autodetection, so many users have the default xorg.conf file. I have an ATI card too, and when I used to use radeon, the file looked like that.
[10:42] <Don_Miguel> raylu, did you see my last ? [06:31] <Don_Miguel> raylu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100214/
[10:43] <johny> rww: Thanks, it's good to know. I was thinking about adding "radeon" line to it. Do you experience problems with CPu use going higher when scrolling any pages, even with dillo?
[10:43] <Lars> Help, HELP - trying to get two monitors to work in twinview...one is a DFP, the other a CRT. The CRT works fine, DFP comes up black and not detecting...help!
[10:44] <rww> johny, the Xorg process's CPU usage tends to spike when I scroll or move windows around or do anything... it's only momentary, though, so I never really bothered with it.
[10:44] <rww> johny, adding the radeon line won't hurt, but it won't change anything either.
[10:46] <johny> rww: Say what, I just typed "glxgears", and it eats the whole 100% of my CPU, is it usual behavior?
[10:46] <Lars> Help, HELP - trying to get two monitors to work in twinview...one is a DFP, the other a CRT. The CRT works fine, DFP comes up black and not detecting...help!
[10:47] <rww> johny, not sure; I'm running fglrx right now, so I can't check.
[10:47] <rww> johny, but radeon isn't very efficient at running OpenGL stuff, so it wouldn't surprise me.
[10:48] <AdvoWork> anyone had any problems with saving settings in about:config of firefox under ubuntu yet when you restart firefox or log out, it resets them?
[10:48] <puff> hm, some digging around brings up XFS, woulod that work?
[10:49] <johny> rww: If I wanted to test it out a bit going back to "vesa", for a while what should I do: Is removing "xorg-driver-video-ati" enough?
[10:49] <rww> puff: that's not well supported, if I remember correctly.
[10:50] <Lars> Help, HELP - trying to get two monitors to work in twinview...one is a DFP, the other a CRT. The CRT works fine, DFP comes up black and not detecting...help!
[10:50] <Slart> rww, puff: XFS as in the file system?
[10:50] <nonix4> Lars: Using the prog for choosing display outputs runtime?
[10:50] <raylu> Don_Miguel: oops
[10:50] <Mayank> which version of fedora should i download for my pentium-4, 1gb of ram?
[10:51] <Slart> Mayank: ubuntu 8.10, 32 bit
[10:51] <rww> johny: probably xserver-xorg-video-radeon, xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd, xserver-xorg-video-ati, depending on exactly which driver you're using
[10:51] <raylu> Don_Miguel: i suppose you do need to move it back, then
[10:51] <rww> !fedora | Mayank
[10:51] <nonix4> Lars: xrandr that is?
[10:51] <Mayank> slart, no, fedora, there is no i386 for fedora?
[10:51] <rww> Mayank: oops, sorry, that was useless. Fedora support in #fedora, not here. #ubuntu is, unsurprisingly, only for Ubuntu support.
[10:51] <Slart> Mayank: what channel are you in?
[10:52] <raylu> Don_Miguel: i'd still recommend trying to follow the last suggestion in that post. removing references ot xulrunner in the available and status files may help
[10:52] <Don_Miguel> raylu, remind me ,,, what is the command for that ?

[10:52] <raylu> Don_Miguel: rm -r dpkg
[10:52] <johny> rww: By the way: How can I check which one is used by the OS if my xorg doesn't put any entries in the config file?
[10:52] <HomingHamster> hi
[10:52] <raylu> Don_Miguel: mv dpkg-b dpkb
[10:52] <raylu> Don_Miguel: both with sudo
[10:52] <nonix4> Lars: try "xrandr --prop" to view currently detected screens
[10:53] <puff> rww: Good 'nuff, that recommendation is probably outdated.
[10:53] <HomingHamster> can anyone explain to me hoe i would use IP routes on my ubuntu machine to channel different ports down a different connection.
[10:53] <rww> johny: I usually read the Xorg logfile at /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I know radeon and fglrx both put lines in there when they're in use.
[10:53] <puff> Ah, crap, plugged the 500GB into a USB enclosure and it's not coming up at all.
[10:54] <Lars> nonix4: you'll get a PM from LurkerInTheWebs in a sec
[10:54] <puff> and not showing up in "df -h" output. Hm.
[10:55] <nonix4> puff: nor dmesg?
[10:55] <PokerFacePenguin> is there a change in the way memory shows up in intrepid?  I just noticed i am down from 4 to 3 GB RAM.  I recently did the upgrade to 8.10.
[10:56] <PokerFacePenguin> 64 bit that is
[10:56] <rww> PokerFacePenguin: what's the output of uname -a ?
[10:56] <Slart> PokerFacePenguin: I haven't noticed any difference.. I have 3.9 GB available.. can't really remember if it was different in hardy
[10:56] <PokerFacePenguin> Linux heirloom 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:15:32 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[10:56] <LurkerInTheWebs> nonix4...check your PM
[10:57] <nils__> Hello
[10:57] <rww> PokerFacePenguin: hrm. Can you copy the output of "free" to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, then say the link here?
[10:57] <puff> nonix4: No signs in dmesg.
[10:58] <puff> nonix4:  nor in /var/log/messages
[10:59] <Don_Miguel> raylu, still a problem     http://paste.ubuntu.com/100240/
[10:59] <puff> Bah, humbug... it's 4am here, time to sleep and come at it with a fresh approach in the morning.
[10:59] <jinja-sheep> Hmm.  I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on mobile laptop.  However, I faced an issue when it comes to detect + mount CD-ROM.  The problem?  There is no CD/DVD reader so the CD-ROM drivers won't be needed.
[10:59] <puff> G'night all.  Thank you much for your help and support.
[10:59] <rww> puff: 'night! Good luck :)
[10:59] <PokerFacePenguin> rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/100241/
[11:00] <johny> rww: Checked! It's certainly radeon (= ati Open-Source driver, right?) DRI is enabled, compiz launches on OS start too, but this scrolling is just horrible. As I've mentioned before: I installed Dillo to test it out, the browser itself is fast as hell, but when i scroll a page it just eats all the CPU. Yes, that's a momentary behavior, but it affect the entire system.
[11:00] <puff> rww: Thanks. Ciao, baby.
[11:00] <nils__> Goog Morning :D
[11:00] <Slart> PokerFacePenguin: I don't know if memory can break without the computer crashing.. but perhaps it's possible
[11:00] <nils__> Shut Up!!!!!!!!
[11:00] <DawnLight> hello. is it reasonable to use gnome without a mouse?
[11:00] <Don_Miguel> raylu, see my PM
[11:01] <rww> johny: hmm. I think there's a radeon driver channel at #radeon on this server. Try asking there maybe?
[11:01] <Slart> DawnLight: there are some accessability options for controlling the pointer with the numeric keyboard.. but I don't think gnome was meant for keyboard only operation
[11:01] <johny> rww: Thanks, I will.
[11:03] <Slart> DawnLight: but that would of course depend on how you use it.. what programs you run and so on..
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[11:04] <alexb92> gday guys, i have ubuntu installed inside a windows partition using wubi and now when i boot into ubuntu it comes up with alot of errors saying read only file system then x sevrer comes up in a big blue screen saying that due to internal erros, xserver can not be started please contact your namufacturer

[11:04] <Miguel_2009> Hey dudes, whick Linux (Deb based) distribution do you recommend for a PC with only 256Mb of DDR ?
[11:04] <HomingHamster> can anyone explain to me hoe i would use IP routes on my ubuntu machine to channel different ports down a different connection?
[11:04] <alexb92> and when i press the enter key, i get lead back up to the booting processes screen and it jus stays black
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> Slart: I just got a weird message from you
[11:04] <Slart> Miguel_2009: xubuntu
[11:05] <DIFH-iceroot> Miguel_2009: xubuntu
[11:05] <asea168> i coming
[11:05] <Slart> ActionParsnip: just wondering what time you had there =)
[11:05] <DIFH-iceroot> Miguel_2009: or dsl, but i dont know if it is debian-based
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> Slart: haha 11:00am GMT
[11:05] <Miguel_2009> DSL¿
[11:05] <HomingHamster> is xubuntu ubuntu but with XFCE window manager?
[11:05] <alexb92> 10:05 pm sydney time :P
[11:05] <Miguel_2009> I'll look for it xD
[11:05] <DIFH-iceroot> Miguel_2009: damn small linux
[11:05] <Miguel_2009> Yep homing
[11:05] <DIFH-iceroot> HomingHamster: yes
[11:05] <Slart> ActionParsnip: if your irc-client hadn't been so paranoid it would have answered me =) "/ctcp Slart time" will tell you what time it is here
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Miguel_2009: puppylinux, xubuntu, DSL (damnsmalllinux)
[11:06] <Miguel_2009> damn samll linux.. i've heared about it
[11:06] <HomingHamster> can i "turn" ubuntu into xubuntu using synaptic?
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> Slart: its pidgin, i have no idea what settings :)
[11:06] <tuchha12> how can i change my boot from 9 sec to 3
[11:06] <Miguel_2009> ahm dsl = damn small linux :P
[11:06] <tuchha12> ?
[11:06] <DIFH-iceroot> Miguel_2009: its a 50mb linux
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> HomingHamster: yes, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[11:06] <Miguel_2009> tucha12
[11:06] <Miguel_2009> tipe in a terminal:
[11:06] <Slart> HomingHamster: I'm not sure if it will be the same but you can try installing xubuntu-desktop or whatever it's called
[11:06] <HomingHamster> neat, thanks ActionParsnip
[11:06] <Miguel_2009> sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:06] <DIFH-iceroot> Slart: it is the same
[11:06] <Slart> ActionParsnip: ah.. pidgin.. destroyer of irc =)
[11:07] <Miguel_2009> then go to the part it says timeout
[11:07] <Miguel_2009> and change 9 for 3
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> Miguel_2009: gksudo gedit dude, sudo gedit is incorrect
[11:07] <HomingHamster> thanks Slart that sounds about right
[11:07] <Miguel_2009> xD
[11:07] <Slart> ah, thanks DIFH-iceroot
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> Slart: it does irc, cant say fairer than that
[11:07] <Miguel_2009> y use always sudo gedit xDDDDDD
[11:07] <alexb92> does any one have any ideas?
[11:08] <Slart> Miguel_2009: gksudo gedit.. never sudo with a gui
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> Miguel_2009: so it sets up the environment and doesnt break permissions and ownerships on files
[11:08] <Slart> !gksudo | Miguel_2009
[11:08] <zhaozhou> Slart, Great tip, thanks for that!
[11:08] <zhaozhou> Slart, the ctcp time-one
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> Miguel_2009: sudo is for cli apps like nano apt-get cp etc
[11:08] <Miguel_2009> ah great xD
[11:08] <Slart> zhaozhou: yes, it's nice.. there are other ctcp commands too.. I just use version and time
[11:08] <Miguel_2009> i always do from the other way now i'll make it as you say xD
[11:09] <stix_> I have this constant annoying sound on my system. Can I restart the sound daemon somehow?
[11:09] <archman> i'm an idiot but i have to ask it again...when i install wine via synaptic i can get wine and wine-dev. How do i get wine-dev installed via sources? I want programs to see that i have wine development files on the dependency check.
[11:10] <Miguel_2009> Well i'll take a look to DSM then
[11:10] <alexb92> is there a way to repair ubuntu with the live cd?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: define "repair"
[11:11] <Slart> archman: I think wine-dev is sources... or at least headers
[11:11] <alexb92> well as in my ubuntu wont boot up due to a read only file system as its installed under wubu\
[11:11] <alexb92> wubi*
[11:11] <alexb92> but it was working fine before though
[11:11] <archman> Slart: and how can i point a program when he needs wine-dev files on installtion?
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: i dont think you can fix wubi with live cd, you could maybe mount the hdd imag and work on it from windows
[11:13] <alexb92> lol sorry but im a complete noob when it comes to ubuntu so how do you do that?
[11:13] <alexb92> i tried going into where the ubuntu directory was stored in my C: drive and making it read only there
[11:13] <alexb92> but upon reboot it still didnt recognise it
[11:13] <alexb92> and i tried defragging and disk check
[11:13] <Slart> archman: oh.. I don't really know.. I don't even know where whatever wine-dev installs is located
[11:14] <Slart> archman: /usr/src is a common place.. take a look and see... or check in synaptic what it installs
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: its a windows question really, you need something like magicdisk or some other virtual drive system
[11:14] <alexb92> does windows and ubuntu even get along together? or do they try and fight for the partition and the filesystem
[11:14] <alexb92> i have vmware available?
[11:14] <alexb92> or should i just completely remove it and start fresh?
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: no they dont fight, they can sit side by side and with some config can read each others files
[11:15] <Slart> alexb92: ubuntu is a nice os.. windows not so much
[11:15] <alexb92> i know and i really like ubuntu\
[11:15] <archman> Slart: /usr/include/ , and /usr/share, and libwine.so in /usr/lib/
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: if you are happy to start fresh, its an option
[11:15] <alexb92> its just a pity that there isnt easy ways to fix things unlike windows
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: personally i despise wubi
[11:15] <alexb92> but the annoying thing is that i have files in ubuntu which i cant access though
[11:16] <alexb92> and i did a hell of alot of downloading with synaptic
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: its because its a half ass install of ubuntu from within windows, if you had a proper install you could boot to livecd and repair easily
[11:16] <Slart> alexb92: I meant as in getting along with other os's too.. ubuntu is pretty considerate when it comes to overwriting stuff.. windows is more of a ignorant crybaby =)
[11:16] <alexb92> yeah i know lol
[11:16] <Slart> alexb92: ahhh.. using wubi.. then I can't really say.. haven't used it myself
[11:17] <alexb92> i just did wubi at the time becoz i didnt have the space but now i have an external hdd so yeah i dont mind using that
[11:17] <alexb92> but the hdd is only usb 2.0 not sata or anything
[11:17] <Mass[UB]> Why do I always get time-out when I try to ping an ip from ubuntu?
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: you are also comparing badly due to experience, im sure yuor windows exposure is colossol compared to your linux exposure
[11:17] <Slart> Mass[UB]: uhm.. you're pinging something that isn't answering?
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: you can install to usb in the live cd
[11:18] <alexb92> yeah i know
[11:18] <Mass[UB]> Slart: uhm, no when i do it from Windows it's answering, I'm using ubuntu on virtualhost
[11:18] <AdvoWork> anyone recommend another terminal server client for ubuntu other than the "Terminal Server Client"?
[11:18] <Slart> Mass[UB]: try pinging 74.125.79.147, that's a google machine.. it answers to my pings
[11:18] <Mass[UB]> Trust me it's not the ip not answering
[11:18] <alexb92> i mean my experience with ubuntu is a really positive one i love using ubuntu but its just when it crashes and your a new comer to the OS, its kind of hard to do things if you know what i mean
[11:18] <Slart> Mass[UB]: then you probably don't have networking setup properly.. it's not a ubuntu feature
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: apt-cache search remote desktop
[11:19] <Mass[UB]> --- 74.125.79.147 ping statistics ---, 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2000ms
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: thats when you learn most
[11:19] <alexb92> like in windows if something screws up u can repair with the cd or use software which does the things for u
[11:19] <alexb92> exactly
[11:19] <alexb92> and i want to learn linux becoz its the future OS
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: its one of them
[11:20] <Mayank> is there any windows channel for xp or vista?

[11:20] <saera> hi im trying to use rythem box with my ipod so i need to convert my ogg files to a format ipod understands
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> saera: i'd rerip your files, converting from one lossy format to another will degrade quality
[11:21] <alexb92> oh is it possible to install ubuntu on a mac?
[11:21] <alexb92> i have a friend who owns a mac and really liked ubuntu when he saw it on my comp
[11:21] <Slart> alexb92: I think so, yes.. a newer intel-cpu mac, that is
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: yes
[11:22] <Snupt> alexb92, why not? ;)
[11:22] <Slart> alexb92: I don't think there's a wubi for os X though
[11:22] <alexb92> how though?
[11:22] <alexb92> i know that mac uses a feature called bootcamp
[11:22] <Slart> !mac
[11:22] <chipt4> alexb92: some models are better supported than others
[11:22] <Slart> bah..
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: you can use standard installs on intel based macs, or get the ppc iso for Gx cpus (theres no flash plugin for ppc)
[11:22] <saera> ActionParsnip, i'd really want to be able not, mp3 is simply compressed music files is it not? where would it loose quality?
[11:23] <chipt4> alexb92: rEFIt is the bootloader, i believe
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> saera: converting to ogg reduces quality of the original, like bmp is to jpeg
[11:23] <chipt4> if it's an intel mac
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> saera: if you convert from ogg to mp3 you will loose even more quality
[11:23] <alexb92> saera: aac is a really good format for music
[11:23] <chipt4> google around for a tutorial on the specific model of mac
[11:23] <Snupt> alexb92, flac better
[11:23] <alexb92> 96kbs of aac = 128 kbs of mp3
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> saera: ogg is an awesome format but not so many players like it (I always buy cowon players due to this fact)
[11:24] <Nothingman> siemanko jakies polaki :> tak  z ciekawości
[11:24] <Nothingman> ;)
[11:24] <alexb92> and it uses half the space
[11:24] <Slart> !mp3
[11:24] <saera> alexb92, i sm uding an ipod, rather i want to use my ipod and cant
[11:24] <redduck666> can i make gnome cycle only through certain windows? (i have two monitors, i'd like windows on one to be fixed while working on the other one)
[11:24] <alexb92> oh right
[11:25] <alexb92> well i know that if you are willing to get custom firmware for your mac, you can play ogg files through it as well
[11:25] <quinn`> hi
[11:25] <alexb92> you can also add more themes and other things too
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: put rockbox on ipod and you have a winner
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> !rockbox
[11:25] <alexb92> yep
[11:25] <alexb92> exactly
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> !ot
[11:25] <alexb92> good choice
[11:25] <alexb92> just the thing
[11:25] <FloodBot2> alexb92: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:26] <nillerz> Hello! How do I mount a windows partition?
[11:26] <Snupt> hm. What happened with  FlodBoot_1_? :)
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs-3g | nillerz
[11:27] <Slart> !ntfs | nillerz
[11:27] <vasyok> mount /dev/sdaX /media/windows_partition
[11:27] <vega> a windows partition is not automatically ntfs..
[11:27] <vasyok> mount -t FILESYSTEM_TYPE /dev/sdaX /media/windows_partition
[11:28] <vega> "-t auto" also works quite well
[11:28] <vega> if you are not sure
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> if you install ntfs-3g you can write to plain permissioned files
[11:33] <alexb92> oh another question

[11:35] <Guillem> Blue_AciD,  gnome-system-monitor
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> ThinkMinus: try ubuntu for both
[11:35] <ThinkMinus> ActionParsnip: ok...let me see
[11:36] <Slart> Guillem: hmm.. never had any problems before.. hang on.. let me try it locally here
[11:36] <light50> Blue_AciD: htop is nice
[11:37] <Guillem> Slart, seems about a problem with dbus.
[11:37] <Slart> Guillem: I just tried running mousepad, since I run xfce on the remote computer and that worked nicely..
[11:37] <Slart> Guillem: might be a gnome thing though..
[11:38] <Guillem> Slart, yes, for sure. xfce apps won't complain about gconf
[11:38] <Slart> Guillem: as I now see that you wrote in your question =)
[11:39] <Slart> Guillem: let me boot up my laptop then.. it has plain ubuntu/gnome on it
[11:39] <Guillem> Slart, my concern is that gconf needs to be properly launched with dbus somewhat, since latest gnome release.
[11:39] <Guillem> Slart, also may be a problem of Gnome already running in the remote machine. I'll check that right now.

[11:49] <cringous> Hi, I work a few months with ubuntu 8.10 64bits, with a Gforce 6600 and a LCD at 1280x800. Saturday the resolution falled to 1024x768, and even at nvidia-settings the monitor appears as CRT, and I can't change it to widescreen. Any clues ?
[11:49] <Glimmerman> damn...so i'm stuffed
[11:49] <Glimmerman> no ubuntu for me
[11:49] <Glimmerman> :(
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> Glimmerman: i gave you a link
[11:49] <Glimmerman> i read it
[11:49] <ardaking> how to increase monitor frequency with my ati on ubuntu 8.10 ?
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> Glimmerman: edit your xorg.conf and add the mode
[11:50] <Glimmerman> tried
[11:50] <Slart> Guillem: well... it isn't very fast.. but it's still usable I think
[11:50] <Glimmerman> i'll tinker some more
[11:50] <asea168> how to install realplayer ?
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> Glimmerman: did you restart x after changing the file?

[11:50] <Glimmerman> yeah....
[11:50] <jessie> hey ppl does anyone know what to download to get all the restricted formats working?
[11:50] <Guillem> Slart, yes, just I wish to find out which is the proper way to do remote use of current gnome apps...
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> Glimmerman: then jump into display properties and select the resolution
[11:50] <Glimmerman> would you suggest the 64bit edition for a cor2duo?
[11:50] <cringous> I already has changed the mode at xorg.conf, but 8.10 works differently than olders versions with it
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> Glimmerman: how much ram?

[11:51] <warloc> Stick 32bit

[11:51] <jinja-sheep> I'm curious -- Which partition would be faster for IO performance?  ext3 or lvm?
[11:51] <asea168> give me Chinese page!!!
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> Glimmerman: morfe stuff is 32bit and you dont have more than 4gb ram so you wont gain anything
[11:52] <HacKBoX> ext4
[11:52] <ardaking> anybody can help me about monitor frequency ?
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> ardaking: you may have to modify xorg.conf to get the refresh you need
[11:52] <HacKBoX> jinja-sheep ext3, ext4 if you can upgrade
[11:52] <asea168> 中文
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> HacKBoX: what proportion of speed upgrade is there?
[11:52] <ardaking> ActionParsnip how i can do it ?
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> !chinese | asea168
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> ardaking: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old; gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf &
[11:54] <ardaking> ActionParsnip ok i'm in xorg.conf...now ? sorry but i'm a newbie
[11:55] <tons2000> Intrepid Ibex, my USB mouse appears to be sending two click events and two unclick events... Any ideas how I can correct this?
[11:55] <Staale-> Is it possible to use firestarter to block certain ips from connecting to my computer? (There only seems to be options for allowing)
[11:55] <Staale-> Or should I use /etc/hosts.deny
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> ardaking: do some websearching about xorg.conf, you will see tonnes of guides and help
[11:56] <ardaking> thanks ;)
[11:56] <Slart> Staale-: it's possible using iptables.. I haven't used firestarter but I would be very surprised if there wasn't a way to do it
[11:56] <siddu> what does this command mean 1>&2 in the command mean ?
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> ardaking: im not overly sure how to do it but you setup displays in there so its probably the best place to start imho
[11:57] <Staale-> Slart:  I currently use firestarter as that properly saves and restores my settings on reboot, and the package to do that for iptables was discontinued in debian afaik. Since I am using firestarter, I prefer not to mess with the underlying iptables rules directly as firestarter won't pick those up I think.
[11:57] <asea168> how to download film???
[11:57] <Slart> Staale-: sounds like a wise decision =)
[11:58] <Guillem> Slart, strange, I've found out how to start dbus manually and "attach" gconf to it, and now I get the error you shown me.... and works much better. Your laptop is in Intrepid?

[11:58] <ardaking> ActionParsnip i'm still searching in google but there isn't any guide/tut about it...
[11:58] <asea168> where page is free??
[11:58] <Guillem> Slart, OK
[11:58] <Slart> siddu: have you checked in "man bash"
[11:58] <Guillem> thanks for your help.
[11:58] <Slart> Guillem: you're welcome
[11:58] <chipt4> Staale-: it's a simple matter to create a script to load your iptables on reboot

[12:02] <Slart> siddu: there is also google, most man pages are available there

[12:05] <Katangawise> Hi all! How can I remove all my wireless card drivers and install the the updated? Ubuntu 8.10
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> ardaking: where you have your res for example "1024x768"
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> ardaking: try "1024x768-75.0"
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> ardaking: looks like the deal in some forums
[12:07] <ardaking> the problem is that i don't have that
[12:07] <zhaozhou> Anyone know a way to smack together two partitions (on separate harddrives) without losing, or having to move, any data?
[12:07] <chanux> Having a problem installing openssh-server / client on ubuntu hardy
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> ardaking: put that for the mode you wanna use then save, close gedit then hit ctrl+alt+backspace (save all work first)
[12:07] <Slart> zhaozhou: might not be possible
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> ardaking: can you pastebin your xorg.conf please
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> !paste | ardaking
[12:07] <faileas> gavole: i've run it on a PIII 450 with 640 mb of ram. ;)
[12:08] <Katangawise> Hi all! How can I remove all my wireless card drivers and install the the updated? Ubuntu 8.10
[12:08] <ardaking> ActionParsnip wait a moment
[12:08] <zhaozhou> Slart, I know it's possible using unionfs, but unionfs is obsolete to aufs and i can't get aufs working... looking for a simpler/better solution
[12:08] <Slart> zhaozhou: huh? are you sure that is what unionfs does?
[12:09] <ardaking> ActionParsnip here the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/100269/
[12:09] <nsadmin> ibartfast?
[12:09] <Slart> zhaozhou: you don't want to merge the two partitions ? you just want to pretend they are one big partition?
[12:09] <zhaozhou> Slart, Well, that's what i've been told
[12:09] <zhaozhou> Slart, yup.
[12:09] <onats> hi, how do i determine if my NIC is running at FE or GE speeds?

[12:10] <stinger05> hello there, is there a voice plug-in for an msn messenger client for ubuntu ??
[12:10] <Katangawise> Hi all! How can I remove all my wireless card drivers and install the the updated? Ubuntu 8.10
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> ardaking: you'll need some lines about screen modes for resolution, you can then specify refresh. find some example xorg.confs. you backed your old xorg.conf up earlier so you can play all you wish
[12:10] <Slart> zhaozhou: ah.. then unionfs might work..  I've never heard of aufs though.. so I can't really help you with it
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> ardaking: unless someone knows an ati trick or 3
[12:10] <faileas> hmm
[12:10]  * faileas thinks he finally got mondo to almost work

[12:12] <Katangawise> Hi all! How can I remove all my wireless card drivers and install the the updated? Ubuntu 8.10
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> Katangawise: how did you install them?
[12:13] <HacKBoX> !b43-firmware is Firmware required to enable Broadcom wireless devices. use 'sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter' to install the firmware and then use System->Administration->Hardware Drivers to enable it. Broadcom Firmware can also be downloaded from http://sites.google.com/site/hackboxlinux
[12:13] <nsadmin> Katangawise: later kernel maybe?
[12:14] <stinger05> im looking for a voice plugin for msn protocol (either on pidgin or something else)

[12:15] <Katangawise> ActionParsnip, apt-get install "something ***back****" It was a long link..
[12:15] <Slart> stinger05: don't think there is one..
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> Katangawise: i you installed from repos, when you apt-get upgrade it will upgrade alongside
[12:15] <mwas> guys, how do I log all chats in pidgin
[12:15] <farciarz84> hi

[12:16] <ActionParsnip> mwas: im unsure where they are stored, check in ~/.purple
[12:17] <mwas> ﻿ActionParsnip: Thanks
[12:17] <Katangawise> ActionParsnip, my connection is jumping, if I near the router also.. My friend, with his laptop, ubuntu 8.10,has a good, stabile connection..
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> mwas: ~/.purple/logs
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> Katangawise: maybe you need better  drivers, or to compile them
[12:18] <forbzie22> anyone know of any good programs to copy AVI to your PSP ?
[12:18] <Katangawise> ActionParsnip, How can I do it?
[12:18] <forbzie22> i know they have to be mp4 first
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> Katangawise: run lspci, it will tell you the wireless chip. you can websearch from there
[12:19] <dns53> forbzie22 i just use ffmpeg to convert it myself, google the command line options
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> forbzie22: ffmpeg -i inputvideo.avi -b 500k -s 176x144 outputvideo.mp4
[12:20] <forbzie22> dns53, i have the front end for winff installed too, i converted to mp4 but no joy, strange
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> forbzie22: change the bitrate and resolution to your liking
[12:20] <forbzie22> thx actionparsnip - will give it a go
[12:21] <farciarz84> I have two network-cards, one wire which is connected to internet and one wifi by which I want to share my internet connection. What should I do to make this?
[12:21] <dns53> forbzie22 yes you need the right range of bitrate, framerate and the right resolutions
[12:21] <HacKBoX> !b43 > HacKBoX
[12:22] <Katangawise> ActionParsnip, terminal gives me wlan0, rl-8139/81... It's realtek chipset, but something wrong.. Anyway, thank you a lot..
[12:22] <forbzie22> do you know the correct resolutions i can use ?
[12:22] <forbzie22> framrate, bitrate etc..
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> forbzie22: its whatever res the video is in or you can change it with those options
[12:23] <dns53> google knows, it was on the gentoo wiki
[12:23] <forbzie22> ok, thx
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> forbzie22: mplayer should be able to tell you what it is but you can scale it for psp screens
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> forbzie22: makes life easier for the poor thing
[12:24] <farciarz84> I have two network-cards, one wire which is connected to internet and one wifi by which I want to share my internet connection. What should I do to make this?

[12:25] <forbzie22> ok, my avi's are also flickering when playing in all media players, including mplayer. very jumpy. I have lots of codecs installed which were pulled down from apt-get install winff

[12:26] <danny_> how do I restart pulseaudio?
[12:26] <jinja-sheep> !best
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> Tekno: there is no best of ANYTHING in the world
[12:26] <Tekno> :)
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> Tekno: its all persnoal taste and preferences

[12:28] <ActionParsnip> Tekno: try: apt-cache search pdf | grep reader
[12:28] <Slart> dns53: ftp server..
[12:28] <HacKBoX_> will an op please kick HacKBoX X-IRC screwed up on me
[12:28] <magicsrv> dns53 I'm really newbish... could u be more specific?
[12:28] <Slart> HacKBoX_: won't he drop eventually?
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> magicsrv: few ftp servers ave a gui
[12:29] <HacKBoX_> should i just feel like getting back on with my name
[12:29] <dns53> magicsrv my mistake, you probably need to use ftpd and configure it manually with the text config file
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> magicsrv: i like proftpd but millions would hate it and millions would love it
[12:29] <magicsrv> besides, I need to setup a SERVER... managed to install A server, But there was no "Add users" in the utility
[12:29] <HacKBoX_> !b43
[12:29] <magicsrv> ActionParsnip, I have that one, could u tell me how to add users and groups?
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> !adduser | magicsrv
[12:29] <TwoD> HacKBoX, I think there's a ghost command, s you can tell NickServ to do it, if you have registered
[12:29] <TwoD> HacKBoX_,
[12:30] <HacKBoX_> how do i register?
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> magicsrv: just add normal users then edit the conf file to chroot users to their home folders
[12:30] <Slart> !register | HacKBoX_
[12:30] <chipt4> i'd try /msg nickserv help
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> magicsrv: or is it for multiple users to access the same data store
[12:30]  * jinja-sheep registered HacKBoX 
[12:30] <chipt4> lol
[12:31] <nsadmin> for the draft, right?
[12:31] <magicsrv> ActionParsnip, so basicly... in order to have usernames with password for the ftp server I need to add OS users?
[12:32] <jinja-sheep> magicsrv:  What are you trying to do?
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> magicsrv: its one way
[12:32] <farciarz84> is it possible to see all machines connected to my local network?
[12:32] <Slart> magicsrv: some ftp servers use "virtual" users.. others use the system userlist
[12:33] <farciarz84> what is a unix command for t his
[12:33] <ardaking> ActionParsnip I have resolved !!
[12:33] <Slart> farciarz84: nope.. but you might be able to sniff the network traffic and from that decide who is out there
[12:33] <jinja-sheep> farciarz84:  arp -a
[12:33] <jinja-sheep> farciarz84:  Probably not what you're looking for, tho.
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> ardaking: wtg :D
[12:33] <nsadmin> farciarz84 go into the room... open eyes... turn 360 degrees...
[12:34] <magicsrv> jinja-sheep, ActionParsnip Slart I want to setup a FTP server with ONE username & password, giving access to NTFS Partition on my PC
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> magicsrv: if you want them to view the same data store, set their home folder to the same and then use guid override to make the gloally accessible
[12:34] <nillerz> Hey, I'm using the ubuntu installer and it just tried to re-size an existing partition
[12:34] <nillerz> and it's taking a LONG time, hasn't even gotten to 0 percent yet, been running for 30 minutes
[12:34] <TecR0c> how do you setup a ftp in ubuntu ?
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> magicsrv: thats fine, create the user and set its home to to mountpoint of the ntfs partition
[12:35] <jinja-sheep> nillerz:  What existing partition? :o
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> magicsrv: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588
[12:35] <Slart> magicsrv: my relation with ftp-servers is frosty to say the least.. they never work for me, and when they do it's when I don't need them
[12:35] <farciarz84> nsadmin: but some there also vpn connections
[12:35] <magicsrv> So... VSFTPD is basicly all I need?

[12:46] <amortvigil> hey i  booted a school pc winth ubuntu live usb but accadently whiped its c drive! how can i turn it back ?
[12:46] <cjs> Anybody here know anything about mounting BSD partitions? I have the ufs module loaded, but though sfdisk -l shows a /dev/sdf6 as the BSD partition within the NetBSD MBR partition that I want, the device doesn't appear in /dev.
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> amortvigil: so you wiped the schools internal drive?
[12:46] <jrib> amortvigil: how did you "accidently whipe its c drive"?
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> amortvigil: of the pc
[12:47] <Slart> amortvigil: if you wiped it it might be gone.. time to fess up and go see the network admin
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> jrib: sudo fdisk /dev/sda1 ;)
[12:47] <Slart> amortvigil: testdisk might be able to restore it.. can't promise anything though
[12:47] <amortvigil> action well actually its the network drive i mounted to get my personal files
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> amortvigil: i'd fess up. you had zero reason to be accessing it as you have your usb stick

[12:49] <amortvigil> ok i hope they have backups  for all 2000 students :s
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> Guest49049: partition the system so you have blank space to install the other system to
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> amortvigil: well its only a workstation, not the file server surely
[12:50] <nsadmin> leave unpartitioned space
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> magicsrv: I think you need to make true system users
[12:50] <yxl> I'm from china,Can I talk in chinese
[12:50] <Slart> Guest49049: omg, just install it to another partition and use grub
[12:50] <amortvigil> ok ty, i hopeso
[12:51] <Slart> Guest49049: omg, it's not that hard
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> Guest49049: to save space you can mount the same swap and home dirs between both systems using their fstabs
[12:51] <Guest49049> i installed first Kubuntu but now i am on other distro and dont know which partition is used for what and i dont see my fat32 partition -_-

[13:01] <idesperado>  hello there...who can tell me how to boot into the command line mode...It seems the old /etc/inittab is
[13:01] <idesperado>                  hello there...who can tell me how to boot into the command line mode...It seems the old /etc/inittab is not available on Intrepid
[13:01] <jrib> Maggie: It's usually not a good idea, especially with core things like gvfs, unless you already know what you are doing.  Why do you want to?
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> idesperado: press esc when grub shows up and select recovery mode
[13:01] <nsadmin> Maggie: you could do that I suppose... but why go thru the effort?
[13:01] <gst-kaps> plz help me to recover my corrupted filesystem ?
[13:01] <jrib> idesperado: why?
[13:01] <idesperado> ActionParsnip: I don't wanna boot into the recovery mode...

[13:02] <idesperado> jrib: why??
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> gst-kaps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[13:02] <jrib> idesperado: yes.  Why do you you want to exactly?  Since the reason you want to affects how you would...
[13:02] <Maggie> jrib coz a frien of mine uninstalled nautilus
[13:02] <Guest49049> can i have same time on my linux distros ???
[13:02] <idesperado> ActionParsnip: I just want to but into multi-user command line mode ..
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> idesperado: that will give you command line mode
[13:02] <jrib> Maggie: so install it again?
[13:02] <dns53> idesperado the append runlevel to the kernel command line should work, as well as recovery mode
[13:02] <yoyo> hey how can I change the label of my hard drives...Like on the desktop it just says 750.2 GB media....how would i change that to games or something?
[13:02] <idesperado> ActionParsnip: runlevel 2-4 is OK
[13:02] <Maggie> jrib how?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> !label | yoyo
[13:03] <jrib> Maggie: use APT, with for example Synaptic
[13:03] <idesperado> dns53: how to append the runlevel info??
[13:03] <yoyo> ActionParsnip: its not a usb drive though...same process?
[13:03]  * Guest49049 is rebooting.
[13:03] <gst-kaps> ActionParsnip: i tried all those stuff but no success
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> yoyo: partition is a partion on anything
[13:04] <Maggie> jrib it is there when i look in package manager
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> gst-kaps: thats all i can advise, dd_rescue is decent when coupled with testdisk and foremost
[13:04] <jrib> Maggie: so what is the problem?
[13:04] <HacKBoX_> test
[13:04] <idesperado> jrib: can you help me with my question?
[13:04] <dns53> idesperado in the kernel line in grub, append 2 to go to runlevel 2
[13:04] <jrib> idesperado: You never answered mine.  Do you just not want X to startup by default forever?
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> gst-kaps: foremost is pretty sweet, or you could plump up for easy recovery pro (windows app)
[13:05] <gst-kaps> ActionParsnip:i used dd_rescused and have an image
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> gst-kaps: easiest way is to restore from backup after a fresh install
[13:05] <idesperado> jrib: ...no...I wanna start x from cli with startx...
[13:05] <Maggie> jrib when i open places>computer i get the msg "Error stating file '/usr/share/applications/nautilus-computer.desktop': No such file or directory"
[13:05] <gst-kaps> ActionParsnip: how ?
[13:05] <Grab> hello
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> gst-kaps: then mount the image and use foremost to get data off it
[13:05] <jrib> idesperado: system -> administration -> services, disable graphical login
[13:05] <Grab> what's your favourite irc client?
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> Grab: pidgin
[13:05] <jrib> Maggie: what did your friend do exactly?
[13:05] <evowill_> gst-kaps, you can also try testdisk / photorec
[13:05] <jrib> !best | Grab
[13:06] <idesperado> jrib: .....I'm not using gnome...
[13:06] <Slart> !irc | Grab
[13:06] <jrib> idesperado: ........ what are you using..........?
[13:06] <Slart> Grab: personally I use irssi.. some people like xchat or xchat-gnome
[13:06] <gst-kaps> ActionParsnip: but formost doesnt give all data
[13:06] <gst-kaps> ActionParsnip:its just few formats
[13:06] <idesperado> jrib: ......Xmonad...
[13:06] <Grab> ok
[13:07] <jinja-sheep> !downgrade
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> gst-kaps: you can specify the format you want to pull from the image
[13:07] <jinja-sheep> Aww, what?  No tutorial. :o
[13:07] <idesperado> jrib: and I'm not boot into gnome env
[13:07] <jrib> idesperado: If you don't have 'services-admin', then either install it or install sysv-rc-conf and use that to stop gdm from starting on runlevels 2-5
[13:07] <Maggie> ijrib I had this problem that while opening places>computer I got msg "Nautilus cannot handle Computer: locations"
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> gst-kaps: you wont get ALL the data, if you did the drive would not be corrupt as its 100% readable
[13:07] <Maggie> jrib I had this problem that while opening places>computer I got msg "Nautilus cannot handle Computer: locations"
[13:07] <gst-kaps> ActionParsnip:yeah but they are very limited, like .txt
[13:08] <jrib> Maggie: you said your friend removed nautilus.  What did he do exactly?
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> gst-kaps: well you can specify ANY file extension and it will attempt to find files
[13:08] <gst-kaps> ActionParsnip:my drive is not corrupted its just that filesystem is screwed
[13:08] <idesperado> jrib: sysv-rc-conf.....can you tell which files decide and I can configure manually???
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> gst-kaps: you could try fsck to fix the file system
[13:08] <jrib> idesperado: man update-rc.d
[13:08] <Maggie> jrib can i pm you?
[13:08] <idesperado> jinja-sheep: like the old /etc/inittab
[13:08] <jrib> Maggie: no, I'd prefer it if we use the channel
[13:09] <idesperado> jrib: like the old /etc/inittab
[13:09] <jrib> idesperado: runlevels 2-5 are identical by default so inittab isn't relevant
[13:09] <Maggie> jrib so i used irc to seek help
[13:09] <jrib> Maggie: ok, but for me to help you, can you answer my question?
[13:10] <Grab> anyone here found good drivers for nvidia tnt2 video card ??
[13:10] <jrib> idesperado: if you want to know how to use inittab for other reasons, see upstart.ubuntu.com.  It's not helpful here though
[13:10] <Tekno> nvidia-legacy
[13:10] <idesperado> jrib: ...runlevel 2-5 r identical???...I remembered runlevel 5 is graphical...
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> Grab: let me websearch (used to have one ages ago, the Ultras were NIIIICE)
[13:11] <jrib> idesperado: not on debian (and not on ubuntu)
[13:11] <idesperado> jrib: no I'm not bothering with inittab...
[13:11]  * jinja-sheep tests out the irssi.
[13:11] <yoyo> how do i see a list of my dev stuff....like if i wanna see what dev goes to what mountpoint....in my fstab theres no dev its just identified by uuid
[13:11] <Maggie> jrib i was told to update gvfs using source code...... so i tried to do it but i was unsuccessful when my friend came and i asked him to help
[13:11] <Grab> ActionParsnip, i've got a nvidia tnt2 model 64 pro
[13:11] <nsadmin> yoyo mount
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> Grab: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-71 nvidia-settings; gksudo nvidia-settings
[13:12] <jrib> Maggie: you need to be more specific about what your friend has done
[13:12] <Grab> ActionParsnip,  look here : http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_x86_71.86.06.html
[13:12] <yoyo> nsadmin:mount, what do you mean?
[13:12] <Grab> ActionParsnip,  is that one good
[13:12] <Grab> ?
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> Grab: id use the drivers on repos
[13:12] <yoyo> I need a list of devs so I can change their labels to what the folder is called that they are mounted in
[13:13] <jrib> yoyo: 'mount'

[13:15] <jinja-sheep> nillerz:  You sure you didn't do lot of resize?  When you kept moving / resizing / repeated tasks to your liking.  There are list being made at the bottom.
[13:15] <TiredWolf> TiredWolf: what is it that you're resizing?
[13:15] <nillerz> On the computer, yeah. IT's a laptop and it has a little light blinking under a picture of 3 disks on top of each other
[13:15] <TiredWolf> gah, i meant nillerz
[13:15] <jinja-sheep> TiredWolf:  Quit drinking too much. :o
[13:15] <magicsrv> jinja-sheep got any ideas on my stupid FTP problem? :)

[13:16] <nillerz> I just had it re-size my Vista partition to whatever made sense (I checked it with what I knew was taken n Vista)
[13:16] <Grab> ActionParsnip, are you there mate? can you please tell me how you did find those nvidia drivers ?
[13:16] <jinja-sheep> magicsrv:  You want to be able to access to your NTSF partition all times?
[13:16] <Grab> i want to learnù
[13:16] <nillerz> I'm using the partitioner built into the ubuntu installer
[13:16] <Maggie> jrib this is what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/100304/
[13:16] <jrib> cherva: coreutils most likely
[13:16] <magicsrv> jinja-sheep, exactly
[13:17] <magicsrv> Is it not possible?
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> Grab: i literlally gave you the command earlier
[13:17] <jrib> Maggie: sudo apt-get install gvfs/hardy-updates
[13:17] <jinja-sheep> It is linux.  Anything is possible in linux, not Windows.
[13:17] <jrib> Maggie: if it asks you a question, pastebin it before replying
[13:17] <alexb92> gday guys, im about to install ubuntu into a blank hdd, i have 3 hdds in my computer, so will i stillbe able to boot from the 2 other disks?
[13:17] <TiredWolf> nillerz: try mounting the windows partition read-only, see if it mounts (sudo mount /dev/whatever /mnt -o ro)
[13:17] <jinja-sheep> magicsrv:  For what purpose?
[13:17] <Grab> yes ActionParsnip  and i thank you for that one, but since i want to learn, can you tell me how to find out by myself ?
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: yes, configure grub to boot the other disks
[13:18] <nillerz> I want to be able to read AND write to all portinos of the harddrive later
[13:18] <Subdolus> Can uname tell me the exact speed of my CPU?

[13:18] <TiredWolf> Subdolus: no
[13:18] <magicsrv> jinja-sheep, you see... I work with very large PSD and TIFF files.... And my clients have to be able to upload graphics at all times... It's the best for me to give them an FTP Server addess with a user&pass to upload.... And I DON't want to use windows any more

[13:18] <ActionParsnip> !nvidia | Grab
[13:18] <alexb92> oh right, well one of the hdds has vista boot loader, so will i be able to use that as the default one?
[13:18] <jrib> Subdolus: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: no as vista can only boot windows systems as it sucks massively, grub can boot anything

[13:20] <ZyzR> har en liten fråga bara..verkar inte hitta det på forumen...Hur stänger man av compiz i intrepid?

[13:20] <IdleOne> !botabuse > nillerz
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> Grab: its admirable you wanna learn though :)
[13:20] <nillerz> Okay, what's the terminal command for that?
[13:20] <Grab> :P
[13:21] <nillerz> It's the c:\ drive
[13:21] <TiredWolf> nillerz: sudo mount /dev/whatever /mnt -o ro
[13:21] <jrib> Maggie: if that downgraded without issue, what does 'apt-cache policy nautilus' return?
[13:21] <TiredWolf> nillerz: the fact that it's C:\ in windows doesn't tell me much. it's probably /dev/sda1 though
[13:21] <alexb92> but when i had ubuntu installed with wubi, it used the vista bootloader and i started it through there
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> nillerz: run sudo fdisk -l, it will show you partition names, in linux its not C:
[13:21] <TiredWolf> nillerz: you can find out with "sudo fdisk -l", most likely
[13:21] <Maggie> jrib i got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/100307/
[13:22] <Grab> can ubuntu write successfully on NTFS ?
[13:22] <Grab> !ntfs
[13:22] <EagleScreen> yes it can
[13:22] <ikonia> spam/last *.gr
[13:22] <jinja-sheep> magicsrv:  Something like this?  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultipleComputersSynchronization
[13:22] <Grab> is it secure?
[13:22] <ikonia> ops
[13:22] <ikonia> oops
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> Grab: mostly, files with weird permission are not editable but can be read
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs-3g | Grab
[13:22] <Grab> im afraid linux can damage data on NTFS partitions.. can you say that's safe?
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> Grab: all other files can be modified and new files can be created
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> Grab: its OSS, it comes with zero warranty
[13:23] <Grab> i remember about 2 years ago this wasnt safe
[13:23] <yoyo> ok the label of my drive is music but it still shows 750.2 GB Media on the desktop....How do I get the desktop to change?
[13:23] <ikonia> Grab: it is much more stable than it was, however there is still a risk, just much smaller
[13:23] <jrib> yoyo: unmount and let hal mount it again
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> Grab: if its importnat, run your backup before you start playing so you have a recent copy
[13:23] <Maggie> jrib i got this for apt-cache policy nautilus http://paste.ubuntu.com/100308/
[13:23] <ikonia> Grab: it is reversed engineer so nothing is perfect
[13:23] <nillerz> okay... it's allowing me to look inside the other partiton that is 11.9 gigabytes
[13:23] <nillerz> Is it possible just to install to that?
[13:23] <Slart> !info quassel
[13:23] <Grab> ikonia,  what do you mean exactly?
[13:23] <jrib> Maggie: sudo apt-get install nautilus
[13:24] <TiredWolf> nillerz: what other partition? you shouldn't be thinking about installing right now, you should be thinking about not losing your data
[13:24] <yoyo> jrib: what is hal, i umount'd it and i mounted it again...is that not enough...should i just do a mount -a?
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> Grab: ntfs is a microsoft proprietary system, the ntfs-3g app is a best effort as microsoft are not disclosing how ntfs works
[13:24] <nillerz> oh fudge, one of those, eh? Umm... let me see if I can boot to vista...
[13:24] <earthling> Grab : have been using it for ages now.. never have managed to crash my disk yet :)
[13:24] <jrib> yoyo: oh, it's in your fstab?
[13:25] <ikonia> Grab: exactly what I've just said
[13:25] <ikonia> Grab: what part is not clear ?
[13:25] <nillerz> hey, it's booting to vista alright, let me just run a chkdsk and see what's up
[13:25] <yoyo> jrib: yeah its in my fstab labelled with a uuid=
[13:25] <nillerz> yeah it's running chkdsk
[13:25] <TiredWolf> nillerz: that's a good thing
[13:26] <Grab> ikonia,  i got you. you mean that microsoft didnt tell how ntfs work.
[13:26] <jinja-sheep> magicsrv:  http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-vsftpd-ftp-service-server/
[13:26] <jrib> yoyo: I don't know what you have to do then.  You can try restarting hal and then logging out or logging in, but it will probably be faster to just reboot and see if it then shows the new label
[13:26] <ikonia> Grab: how NTFS works is not known to anyone other than microsoft, the open source developers implimented their version of the tools
[13:26] <_brujo> hi!
[13:26] <Grab> i see
[13:26] <nillerz> it made me mad when I tried to first run chkdsk in vista and it said I needed elevated priveledges and I didn't know how to log in as root in vista..
[13:26] <jrib> Maggie: any errors?
[13:26] <nillerz> I had to be comploicated about it.
[13:27] <Grab> !video
[13:27] <Grab> !video-card
[13:27] <Subdolus> For future reference, sysctl and dmesg work on almost all platforms. In case anyone was curious
[13:27] <Subdolus> Peace!
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> Grab: they just prodded ntfs and made observations until what they had looked sort of right, it will never be 100% unless microsoft tell them exactly how it works or the developers fluke it

[13:27] <Ivru> Hi!
[13:27] <Grab> ok ok
[13:27] <cjs> Should I upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10?
[13:27] <nillerz> it's funny though how Exploerer is starting to use features from Linux file managers, I mean, the run/search bar is awesome and stuff and so is clickable folder addresses
[13:27] <Mass[UB]> no

[13:27] <ActionParsnip> !nv | grab
[13:28] <Grab> yeah
[13:28] <Grab> im there :P
[13:28] <cjs> Ha! People can hear me. I must just be asking too weird questions most of the time.
[13:28] <Ivru> Using logger comand to log message, It truncate my messages. Not only truncate, but replace some part of the log by the syslog header. Does anyone can help ?
[13:28] <Maggie> jrib no errors
[13:28] <jrib> Maggie: you should do 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' too
[13:28] <magicsrv> jinja-sheep, nope... not like this... I don't want to make a common dir for users around the world.... I want to setup FTP Server .... I have installed G Pro FTP Daemon AND configured it... but the guy next to me won't login... (Damn! If he won't login, how would s.o. 300 miles away?)
[13:28] <jinja-sheep> magicsrv:  I think you want this?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588
[13:28] <ikonia> cjs: no, your just asking questions that are your personal choice
[13:29] <jinja-sheep> magicsrv:  Are you on a router?
[13:29] <zamba> are printers installed per-user or per-system on ubuntu?
[13:29] <Maggie> jrib but still i am not able to open places > computer
[13:29] <jinja-sheep> If so, you probably need to do the port fowarding.
[13:29] <jrib> Maggie: did you run that last command?
[13:29] <ikonia> zamba: per system
[13:29] <nillerz> uh oh, vista is being slow with the boot.
[13:29] <zamba> ikonia: who can install them?
[13:30] <ikonia> zamba: administrator users
[13:30] <Maggie> jrib no
[13:30] <magicsrv> jinja-sheep, yes, But that is not an issue, I have my ports forwarded
[13:30] <jinja-sheep> magicsrv:  Did you see the last link?  It allow you to make a private directory.
[13:30] <Grab> what can i do in order to be safe on my ubuntu ? should i install an antivirus / firewall ??
[13:30] <magicsrv> jinja-sheep, just reading it....
[13:31] <jinja-sheep> magicsrv:  Use "The secure way"
[13:31] <ikonia> Grab: depends if you feel you need it
[13:31] <Grab> ...
[13:31] <Grab> on windows i need it
[13:31] <ikonia> Grab: this isn't windows
[13:32] <ikonia> Grab: anti-virus probably not as long as you apply common sense to how you work.
[13:32] <Grab> that's why im asking
[13:32] <ikonia> Grab: firewall, if your connected directly to the internet and running services, possibly a good idea
[13:32] <magicsrv> jinja-sheep,  I'm having trouble downloading the package....
[13:32] <Grab> ikonia,  what firewall?
[13:32] <Grab> !firewall
[13:32] <magicsrv> jinja-sheep,  coult u get me a direct link?
[13:33] <Grab> hmm
[13:33] <jinja-sheep> magicsrv:  No.  Use terminal.
[13:33] <Maggie> jrib I have a slow internet connection last command is downloading something
[13:34] <jrib> Maggie: ok
[13:34] <jrib> Maggie: afterwards, you'll probably need to at least logout and back in
[13:35] <Maggie> jrib ok
[13:36] <Maggie> jrib the problem started 3 ddays ago when i used the command sudo apt-get update
[13:36] <nillerz> maggie fi you have a slow connection, then you shouldn't update
[13:36] <nillerz> The people in this channel will disagree
[13:36] <nillerz> The people in this channel DONT UNDERSTAND
[13:37] <jrib> nillerz: huh?
[13:37] <ikonia> nillerz: ?
[13:37] <nillerz> I bet you all feel fine with your FiOS and your satellite and your T3
[13:37] <Maggie> jrib ok
[13:37] <ikonia> nillerz: what are you talking about ?
[13:37] <nillerz> When was the last time you thought about the Dialup Dynamos?
[13:37] <jrib> nillerz: stay on-topic please
[13:37] <ortsvorsteher> hello. i use ubuntu 8.10 on a desktop pc. also i use a nvidia geforce 6200 video card. ubuntu tells me, that the driver from nvidia is in use. but always when i try to use nvidia-xserver-settings, he tells me to run nvidia-xconfig to activate the drivers. how can i enable the proprietär driver?
[13:37] <nillerz> THEY ARE PEOPLE TOO.
[13:37] <nillerz> I'm sorry.
[13:37] <ikonia> nillerz: if you explain the problem we maybe able to help
[13:38] <TiredWolf> nillerz: i am on 33.6kbps dialup right now, but i don't see how it's relevant.
[13:38] <TiredWolf> please calm down.
[13:38] <ikonia> nillerz: if you rant on, you will be removed from the channel
[13:38] <nillerz> :P I'm just picking. I was on 28.8 kbps dialup until I was 17
[13:38] <ikonia> nillerz: do you have a problem, yes/no ?
[13:38] <jinja-sheep> ortsvorsteher:  See System --> Admin --> Hardware Drivers
[13:38] <nillerz> No, I was saying Maggie shouldn't update
[13:38] <nillerz> not if she has a slow connection
[13:39] <ikonia> nillerz: ok - if you don't have a problem, please don't make random rants in the cahnnel, this is for support discussion only
[13:39] <ortsvorsteher> jinja-sheep, i did, there he says he is using driver number 177. but it isnt so
[13:39] <jinja-sheep> ortsvorsteher:  Did you/he restart already?
[13:39] <Maggie> nillerz why do u think so
[13:39] <Gnea> Maggie: updating over dialup is best to do while not sitting in front of the computer :)
[13:39] <nillerz> Maggie: How fast is your internet connection?
[13:39] <ortsvorsteher> jinja-sheep, yes, i restarted many times since i updated to 8.10
[13:40] <Maggie> nillerz 64 kbps
[13:40] <Gnea> Maggie: or, finding something else non-internet related to do on it
[13:40] <nillerz> That's too slow to be updating. No real reason anyway. I never really update and I'm on Cable now.
[13:40] <jinja-sheep> !nvida
[13:40] <nillerz> And yes, every single person in this channel disagrees.
[13:40] <Maggie> Gnea I update during night while I sleep
[13:40] <jrib> In any case, Maggie is installing software that got uninstalled nillerz, not updating
[13:40] <Gnea> nillerz: there's no need to be so overly opinionated about it.
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> !nvidia | jinja-sheep
[13:41] <Gnea> Maggie: ah, okay. perhaps i misunderstood/misread the problem..
[13:41] <jinja-sheep> Oh it was the typo.  Phft.
[13:41] <ortsvorsteher> jinja-sheep, it doesnt seem to be the problem of the driver. i mean it is that the driver isnt in use from the system
[13:41] <zamba> ikonia: hm.. non-administrator users were able to add/remove printers here
[13:41] <jinja-sheep> ActionParsnip:  See the issue ortsvorsteher is having with his driver.  Any idea why?
[13:41] <ikonia> zamba: how
[13:41] <tyson_> First time IRC'in here, am i supposed to wait my turn for my problem lol?
[13:41] <zamba> ikonia: have no idea
[13:42] <jinja-sheep> ortsvorsteher:  It should be working.  Did you update from older version recently?
[13:42] <nillerz> tyson_: just ask it and if anyone knows they'll answer
[13:42] <jrib> tyson_: nope, just jump in with a detailed question on a single line
[13:42] <ikonia> zamba: they will be able to connect to existing printers, but they won't be able to add a new printer to the system
[13:42] <zamba> ikonia: through system - administration - printers
[13:42] <Gnea> tyson_: nope, just go ahead and ask :)
[13:42] <ikonia> zamba: ahhh, thats fine, don't worry about that
[13:42] <Maggie> tyson dont use words like lol here
[13:42] <ortsvorsteher> jinja-sheep, no, i updated from 8.04. and i updated before two weeks
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> jinja-sheep: install nvidia-settings so you can configure the card
[13:42] <zamba> ikonia: well.. they were able to remove the printers used by all the other users of the system as well
[13:43] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, i try
[13:43] <ikonia> zamba: sorry, thats probably a bad "definition" on my part, that is a user configuring a printer for their use, not adding it to the system
[13:43] <ikonia> zamba: look if the user doing it is in the "admin" group
[13:43] <tyson_> I'm having a "No Signal" problem... It happens when im playing WoW. It seems random, i've updated to the current Driver for my video card Nvidia Geforce 9600gt on www.nvidia.com

[13:44] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: then run: gksudo nvidia-settings
[13:45] <Gnea> tyson_: have you double-checked to make sure the monitor cable is plugged in on the back of the computer and monitor?
[13:45] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, when i do this, the following message comes: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[13:45] <Gnea> tyson_: okay, let's keep the chat here in case someone else can help :)

[13:48] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, still the same :(
[13:48] <Grab> is it safe to use an external hard disk (NTFS) with ubuntu ?
[13:48] <Grab> it's got external power
[13:48] <ikonia> nillerz: yes, ntfs can be read-able by ubuntu
[13:48] <level3> I am trying to connect from ubuntu client to Windows 2003 Terminal Server. I am able to connect from Vista Client, but unable to connect from Ubuntu. Server gives an error 'Failed to load Terminal Server Profile path'. What to configure at ubuntu?
[13:49] <nillerz> okay, continuing par usual.
[13:49] <tyson_> Gnea: yes my DVI connectors are snug on the monitor and back of the computer. It only black screens and says "No Signal" while im playing wow... and it can be random either 5 minutes or hours

[13:50] <ganja-sheep> It's... terminal.  Lol.
[13:51]  * Slart is trying out quassel =)
[13:51] <ganja-sheep> mvbalgooy:  What kind of issues do you have with... printer?
[13:51] <Mythril> I'm a little confused, is 64bit ubuntu supposed to be as usable and stable as 32-bit, because I would claim that it is not
[13:51] <ardchoille> ganja-sheep: and with screen, you can use do irc, email, web browsing, videos and ore in a tty if x breaks :)
[13:51] <ikonia> Mythril: it is
[13:51] <Mythril> ikonia: does flash work for you consistently?
[13:51] <ikonia> Mythril: yes
[13:51] <Slart> Mythril: afaik it's supposed to be as stable as the 32-bit version.. anything specific that didn't work for you?
[13:51] <Gnea> Mythril: it is. do you have a specific issue?
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: then if you run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: then restart x
[13:52] <mvbalgooy> don`t have any issue printing.. but i want to print a few document in one time
[13:52] <nonix4> ganja-sheep: and pretty advanced for terminal, w/ split display and all that good old time (tm) stuff :)
[13:52] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, i try
[13:52] <ganja-sheep> ardchoille: Any useful commands?
[13:52] <tyson_> Gnea: im not sure, havnt checked when it happens, it black screens and won't recover back to the desktop, cant even ctrl + alt + f1 it to terminal
[13:52] <ikonia> mvbalgooy: just send them all to the print queue then
[13:52] <tyson_> Gnea: what exactly is the directory you pointed me to
[13:52] <ardchoille> ganja-sheep: useful commands?
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: then run the command you ran before you restarted the xserver last, then restart x server, then run gksudo nvidia-settings
[13:53] <ganja-sheep> ardchoille: For the terminal (irssi) or is that every individual commands?
[13:53] <ardchoille> ganja-sheep: irssi has tons of stuff:  /join #irssi
[13:53] <Mythril> pulseaudio skips randomly, flash crashes all the damned time, a lot of my favorite software that worked in previous 32-bit versions will not work in 64 (sometimes it's the softwares fault for putting in IA32 asm)
[13:53] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, you mean gksudo xserver-settings?
[13:53] <nonix4> tyson_: nor alt-sysrq-k?
[13:53] <mvbalgooy> how do i do that without opening them
[13:54] <Grab> do you guys believe that ubuntu handles dowloads (even torrents) better than windows ??
[13:54] <ikonia> mvbalgooy: better to open them
[13:54] <nonix4> (don't try that ppl, unless you know what you're doing:)
[13:54] <Grab> it seems to download faster
[13:54] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, now i the reconfigure is finished
[13:54] <ganja-sheep> Mythril: Do your processor support 64 bits?
[13:54] <ikonia> Grab: no difference
[13:54] <Slart> Mythril: hmm..and it all works if you use 32-bit?
[13:54] <Mythril> ganja-sheep: most definately
[13:54] <Mythril> Slart: yes
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: restart x server
[13:54] <ortsvorsteher> ok
[13:54] <tyson_> Gnea: Not sure what alt-sysrq-k is, Newb to linux really, but bill gates is on my hated list so its about time to change
[13:54] <Mythril> slart: or at least they did in 7.10
[13:54] <Mythril> currently using 8.10
[13:55] <mvbalgooy> okay thanks <ikonia> and <ganja-sheep>
[13:55] <Slart> Mythril: they've changed quite a lot since then.. not everything changed for the better =)
[13:55] <vasilis> I've got a question. I've changed the system language from system->administration->support on a 8.10 installation but i still get everything in the old language. Even after creating a new user. The locales have changed in /etc/environment but nothing happened.Any help appreciated
[13:55] <Slart> Mythril: I suppose it could be some driver issue.. graphics or such..
[13:55] <nonix4> tyson_: pressing alt-sysrq-k (SAK) will kill every program running on current console
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: ok now run gksudo nvidia-settings
[13:56] <iLogic_> vasilis: you have to change your desired language on the gdm (where you type your login and pass)
[13:56] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, after restarting xserver now i ran  gksudo nvidia-settings and still the same problem
[13:56] <Mythril> Slart: I can't say I am happy with that concept, if it wasn't for the better, it probably shouldn't be pushed to public users
[13:56] <Gnea> tyson_: in a terminal, type this:  tail -f /var/log/syslog
[13:56] <nonix4> vasilis: and you logged in?
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: are you being told to run that command again?
[13:56] <vasilis> iLogic_: how do i do that?
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: if it is, do so

[13:57] <nonix4> vasilis: /etc/skel or some such might have something overriding it
[13:57] <alexb92> sorry guys can i ask one quick noob question and i will leave u alone?

[13:58] <Lilllyz> Hey does anyone know a program that will convert id3 tags to utf8 automatically from its current encoding. I have a bunch of mp3s with different encodings and can't seem to find a way to find out what they are and to change it over to utf8. I have tried easy tag but it doesn't seem to change it without garbling it up.
[13:58] <Maggie> jrib no
[13:58] <jinja-sheep> ardchoille:  tricked*  You know better than to send a man to the battlefield without weapons.  I was doomed.  Didn't know how to change channel tabs in irssii. :o
[13:58] <jrib> Maggie: do that
[13:58] <Maggie> jrib ok
[13:58] <nillerz> Is it possible to have a linux-based laptop use less battery life by ONLY playing music, and not doing other background tasks?
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: and set a driver line to read: Driver "nvidia"
[13:58] <ikonia> nillerz: stop all uneeded services
[13:58] <nillerz> what's the lightest weight music player?
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: in the configured video device" section
[13:59] <Slart> nillerz: mpd?
[13:59] <ardchoille> jinja-sheep: Oh, I just figured you knew that much, sorry about that.
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> nillerz: aplay
[13:59] <nillerz> lemme check that stuff out . . .
[13:59] <ikonia> nillerz: all about the same, they all have X11 interfaces etc etc, there is a console one, but that will still open an xterm
[13:59] <alexb92> i used to have ubuntu running in a wubi configuration, now that i have a spare internal hard disk, if i install linux onto that hard disk, will i still be able to access the windows partitions without any configuring involed?
[13:59] <alexb92> sorry i know im a noob
[13:59] <jinja-sheep> nillerz:  Install ubuntu-core and start playing music from the command.  That'll save you lot of battery.
[13:59] <Gnea> nillerz: you could start by installing ubuntu as console-only
[13:59] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, i am in this section. now i ave to put in NV4 Geforce6200?
[13:59] <nillerz> I could do that, and I might do that, but only off a CD...
[13:59] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, i am in this section. now i ave to put in NV44 Geforce6200?
[14:00] <ikonia> alexb92: you can't move wubi installs to a seperate disk, you ned to do a clean install, but yes you will be able to access your windows partition
[14:00] <ikonia> nillerz: if you do that your cd drive will eat the battery
[14:00] <alexb92> yeah im doing a clean install
[14:00] <tyson_> Gnea: Could this be a kernel issue?
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: no, you need to put: Driver "nvidia"
[14:00] <ikonia> alexb92: no problem then
[14:00] <alexb92> oh right so no configuring involed?
[14:00] <nillerz> USB would be better, wouldn't it?
[14:00] <Gnea> tyson_: not sure - did you see anything happen this time?
[14:00] <ikonia> nillerz: still a power eater
[14:00]  * tyta_linux says Hello #Ubuntu
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: below where it says Section "Configured Video Device'
[14:00] <Maggie> jrib still nothing happened
[14:00] <tyson_> Gnea: havn't tried it yet, ill do it now
[14:00] <ikonia> tyson_: then say hello rather than "/me hello"
[14:00] <jrib> Maggie: run 'nautilus' in a terminal
[14:00] <ikonia> oops
[14:00] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, driver is already nvidia
[14:00] <Gnea> nillerz: USB has a consistant drool for power
[14:00] <Finnish> Can I sort row alphabetically in OO calc? I have 50 names and I want them in alphabetical order
[14:00] <ikonia> tyson_: sorry, not you
[14:00] <nillerz> I could use a 800 gig partition and like, have it read off other partiitons...
[14:01] <alexb92> i have vista installed on one hard drive, xp installed on another and ubuntu will be installed on the third as a clean boot
[14:01] <alexb92> so if i install ubuntu on the second disk, i didnt want it to boot as default
[14:01] <ikonia> nillerz: the partition size doesn't matter
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: you'll need ntfs-3g installed for write access but you can read the data just fine without any config
[14:01] <ikonia> alexb92: just set grub to boot windows by default
[14:01] <nillerz> Nevermind, duh, I could just use sessions...
[14:01] <alexb92> oh right k
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: ok then try rerunning nvidia-settings
[14:01] <alexb92> so when i do a clean install and boot into ubuntu sorry but how do i configure grub?
[14:01] <thorium> I have pppoe on ppp0(eth0) and a local network on eth1, I want to configure iptables in order to have the internet available on the internal network
[14:01] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, there is no section configured video device. please look at http://pastebin.com/ff9c0f7b
[14:02] <thorium> I have the following configuration
[14:02] <ganja-sheep> Finnish: Use sort command.
[14:02] <thorium> http://rafb.net/p/TWravW90.html
[14:02] <ikonia> alexb92: get into ubuntu first then we can help
[14:02] <thorium> on the computer in the local area network only ymessenger,dc++,ftp work(I tested just this)
[14:02] <gavole> Hello, there.  xubuntu how to take screenshot ("Print Screen key use") it was easy to take screenshot in ubuntu because of a separate menu there.
[14:02] <thorium> http doesn't wrok on that
[14:02] <Gnea> tyson_: do you see anything like the problem here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft/Troubleshooting
[14:02] <Finnish> ganja-sheep: Yeah, sort, and whats the command/function in it?
[14:02] <alexb92> ohk cool
[14:02] <tyson_> Gnea: I tried opening wow after installing the recommended driver for Nvidia and i got about 8 lines of text all saying something about my kernel verison is wrong
[14:02] <alexb92> thank you very much guys and sorry for bothering you
[14:02] <jinja-sheep> Finnish:  Look at sort --help.  It'll list the possibility.
[14:02] <ikonia> alexb92: it's no bother
[14:02] <Maggie> jrib nautilus in terminal opens the home folder
[14:02] <tyson_> Gnea: so basically i need to get the correct Kernel version and install it?
[14:02] <alexb92> i will do it tomorrow morning its late at night now
[14:03] <Gnea> tyson_: okay, are you running 8.04 or 8.10?
[14:03] <alexb92> thank you very much i will be back in the morning
[14:03] <nillerz> The thing is, I go on huge bike-rides, from here to a town 20 miles away, and I use my laptop as a radio. I can't use headphones, that's asking for trouble, so I just blast it. This drains battery power and it takes 2 hours, each way. I can charge it in town but I'd like to have some power available for delays.
[14:03] <tyson_> Gnea: 8.10 ibex
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: ok, change line 47 to read: Section "Configured Video Device"
[14:03] <jinja-sheep> nillerz:  Get a Zune.
[14:03] <tyson_> Gnea: is there a way i can respond instead of typing Gnea: each time before i start my message?
[14:03] <Slart> nillerz: the hard drive survives a bike ride?
[14:03] <nillerz> Jinja-sheep: I'm  cheap. I'm VERY cheap.
[14:04] <nillerz> Slart: Yes. I'm a very good cyclist.
[14:04] <Slart> nillerz: but sorry.. this is getting offtopic..
[14:04] <xteraco> lol Slartr
[14:04] <xteraco> slart*
[14:04] <nillerz> besides, hard drives are really cheap nowadays.
[14:04] <Maggie> jrib the real problem that i am having is in the following post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801597
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: save the file and close gedit, then rerun the gksudo nvidia-settings command again
[14:04] <jinja-sheep> nillerz:  Cheap enough to end your life?  Having laptop on the bike is absolutely ridiculous. :\
[14:04] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, i put you now the new xorg conf in http://pastebin.com/f2a7dc280 cause in line 47 which you told me to change, i was in section monitr
[14:04] <Gnea> tyson_: you could just omit it, but then i might not see it right away
[14:04] <nillerz> jinja sheep: It's in the laptop sleeve of my sack.
[14:05] <Gnea> tyson_: if you type Gn<tab> it should be easier
[14:05] <tyson_> Gnea: its fine, i can type it out its not hard just wondering if there was a shortcut
[14:05] <Gnea> tyson_: you may need to press tab a couple of times
[14:05] <nillerz> What did you think I did?
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: huh??
[14:05] <nillerz> I;m not reading slashdot while cruising down the hills...
[14:05] <sar4j> I managed to make a BT PAN with ubuntu as master and connected a windows box. I can ping ubuntu from windows, and vice versa.. I can even browse httpd site (running on port 80) from the windows box. but I am unable to connect to vnc from realvnc on windows. the other way - RDP from ubuntu to windows works.. can some one help, are there some ports to open on ubuntu box? how do i start by debuggin
[14:05] <jrib> Maggie: you get that error when you go to places -> home?
[14:05] <Slart> nillerz: make sure it shuts down the screen too.. not really sure how to do that but I guess there has to be a way
[14:05] <Gnea> nillerz: especially in this weather...
[14:06] <Slart> nillerz: or you run it without X?
[14:06] <tyson_> Gnea: Should i Copy/paste the line?
[14:06] <Maggie> jrib i dont get any error
[14:06] <nillerz> yeah, I live in an area outside of Buffalo.
[14:06] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, i dont know if the last xorg.conf and this one which i pasted you now are identical. so i pasted you at last now the actual xorg.conf. still there is noch section which we search?
[14:06] <jrib> Maggie: why do you believe it's the same problem then?
[14:06] <Gnea> tyson_: just the one line, sure
[14:06] <nillerz> I can close the lid... doesn't that power off the screen?
[14:06] <ikonia> nillerz: still running an X environment though, = more power
[14:06] <MegaJim> .
[14:07] <nillerz> I'll probably go all consoley on it.
[14:07] <Maggie> jrib when i open places > computer i get "Nautilus cannot handle computer: locations."
[14:07] <Gnea> nillerz: you can tell it what it does in the power management settings:  System->Preferences->Power Management
[14:07] <tyson_> Gnea: NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 177.82, but this kernel module has the version 177.80.  Please make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version.
[14:07] <nillerz> I still gotta get the stuff installed
[14:07] <Slart> nillerz: I have no idea.. but having the screen shut off might save you quite a lot of battery time
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: ok, reead line 50 in the pastebin, it says: Section "Device"
[14:07] <Gnea> tyson_: ah, okay. what method did you use to install the nvidia drivers?
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: this is what it says in your file right now.
[14:07] <Slart> nillerz: and mpd has a command line client so you don't really need X just to play music
[14:07] <jrib> Maggie: ls -l /usr/share/applications/nautilus-computer.desktop
[14:08] <tyson_> Gnea: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[14:08] <Maggie> jrib also i cannot mount any usb flash drive
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: it NEEDS to be changed to Section "Configured Video Device"
[14:08] <sar4j> hi
[14:08] <sar4j> I managed to make a BT PAN with ubuntu as master and connected a windows box. I can ping ubuntu from windows, and vice versa.. I can even browse httpd site (running on port 80) from the windows box. but I am unable to connect to vnc from realvnc on windows. the other way - RDP from ubuntu to windows works.. can some one help, are there some ports to open on ubuntu box? how do i start by debuggin
[14:08] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, yes, so it is. now i am in line 50 which is the following: VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
[14:08] <Gnea> tyson_: okay, are you familiar with the pastebin site?
[14:08] <endrit> eni
[14:08] <nillerz> Yeah, I am planning to use a simple terminal based player.
[14:08] <tyson_> Gnea: nope but im a fast learner

[14:08] <endrit> kan yu spik german
[14:09] <Slart> !de | endrit
[14:09] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, sorry, i missed line 50 which is Section "Device" and i change it now to "Configured Video Device"
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: ok then go 3 lines up
[14:09] <Gnea> tyson_: see if you can pastebin the output of this command:  dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep nvidia
[14:09] <Maggie> jrib i got this -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10082 2008-09-26 18:37 /usr/share/applications/nautilus-computer.desktop
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: I told you what the line says you need to change, you need to be slightly less litteral
[14:09] <endrit> kann ich denn trotzdem deutsch schreiben
[14:09] <LurkerInTheWebs> HELP! I've completely restored my Xserver. Both of my monitors are detected and outputted simultaneously. I try to open nvidia-settings and it tells me to nvidia-xconfig, I do, restart the computer and suddenly NOTHING is detected. Is there another way to twinview?
[14:09] <jinja-sheep> What's the command line to search for description too with aptitude search?
[14:09] <jinja-sheep> Parameters, or that.
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> jinja-sheep: same
[14:09] <endrit> what
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> jinja-sheep: apt-cache search <anything>
[14:10] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, okay. i changed line 50 to : Section "Configured Video Device" Is that right now?
[14:10] <nillerz> I dont actually *need* language packs, right?
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: you can pastebin what you have ityou wish, I can check it
[14:10] <ardchoille> jinja-sheep:  apt-cache search -n appname   <-- search names only, no description
[14:10] <tyson_> Gnea: just copy/paste the results from terminal to the pastebin site? and hit send?
[14:10] <Gnea> tyson_: yes, it will give you a URL which you can then paste here
[14:11] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, ok. please look at http://pastebin.com/f1a4e215e
[14:11] <tyson_> Gnea: http://pastebin.com/m3bfcd74f
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: looks great
[14:11] <jinja-sheep> Thanks ActionParsnip + ardchoille.
[14:11] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, now restart xserver?
[14:11] <jrib> Maggie: reboot, make sure it still happens
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: ok save and close gedit then run the gksudo nvidia-settings
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: no need really
[14:12] <Maggie> jrib my problem is discussed in the following thread and the solution to it has been given as to manually update gvfs "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801597"
[14:12] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, still after gksudo nvidia-settings i get You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[14:12] <jrib> Maggie: you have https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/233889
[14:12] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, so now i ran sudo nvidia-xconfig?
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: try restarting x first
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> without the command
[14:13] <gabbler> hi can anyone tell me how i can install not the latest java jre
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> !java | gabbler
[14:13] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, ok...
[14:13] <a_ok> how can i prevent apt from stopping daemons that i am removing?
[14:13] <gabbler> actionparsnip, thanks but i need to install an old version not the one in the respository
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> gabbler: i think if you specify version it may install
[14:14] <Gnea> tyson_: that's really weird... okay, what do you get from this command:  grep NVRM /var/log/dmesg
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> gabbler: try apt-cache seach java | grep jre

[14:15] <endrit> hello
[14:16] <endrit> by
[14:16] <Gnea> tyson_: okay, that's correct... but for some reason, a program that WoW is calling isn't the correct version for it
[14:16] <erUSUL> a_ok: it makes no sense to keep them running if you are about to remove them
[14:16] <Maggie> jrib the problem is still there
[14:16] <Shoopuf> Any reason why I wouldn't want to run a sudo aptitude update/install/safe-upgrade?
[14:16] <tyson_> Gnea: Im using Wine if that helps?
[14:17] <kebomix> #ekiga
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> gabbler: icedtea-java7-jre
[14:17] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, now i have a very bad resolution. but i am happy, something is changed ;) but now after running sudo nvidia-xconfig i get: PARSE ERROR: Parse error on line 50 of section Configured Video Device in file/etc/X11/xorg.conf. "Configured Video Device" is not a valid section name.
[14:17] <jrib> Maggie: see if it happens with a new user
[14:17] <endrit> rit
[14:17] <tyson_> Gnea: So something in Wine isn't calling for the right kernel while running WoW?
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: is that what you get from nvidia-settings
[14:18] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, yes
[14:18] <endrit> kann mir jemand beim man download helfen
[14:18] <jrib> Maggie: pastebin 'apt-cache policy libglib2.0-0' as well

[14:18] <jrib> Maggie: right, so create a fresh new one

[14:19] <ortsvorsteher> endrit, du bist hier im english sprachigem kanal :)
[14:19] <__doc__> hi, I'd like to make /dev/input/event5 (my joystick) accessible so I can use it for games, what udev rule do I have to write?
[14:19] <ortsvorsteher> endrit, einfach folgendes eingeben: /j #ubuntu-de
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: you're gonna be wrestling with that until you can get righted
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: try renaming the section back maybe
[14:20] <endrit> wie jetzt du bist nur ein computer und ich noch nicht so gut englisch
[14:20] <Maggie> jrib pastebin  "http://paste.ubuntu.com/100337/"
[14:20] <a_ok> erUSUL, yes it does i upgrading and don want downtime
[14:20] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, i wrestl with that a since i updated
[14:20] <saschahl> __doc__: don't you also have a /dev/input/js* device? what are the permissions of the nodes? games usually use the js* device
[14:20] <a_ok> i'm
[14:20] <Gnea> tyson_: i'm really lost now, not sure what the problem is
[14:20] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, i try to rename it back and pastebin it.
[14:20] <Gnea> tyson_: all i know is, there's a version mis-match somewhere
[14:20] <zamba> what kernel module do i have to use for 00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS)?
[14:21] <a_ok> crappy windows quotes
[14:21] <__doc__> saschahl: for some of my gaming devices there's a /dev/input/js*, but for some there isn't, and /dev/input/js* doesn't support force feedback
[14:21] <tyson_> Gnea: Would uninstalling Wine ( The program i used to run WoW ) and reinstalling it maybe tell it which version to call?
[14:21] <Gnea> tyson_: someone else might be able to help you with it, i'm totally out of the loop on this one
[14:21] <erUSUL> a_ok: i think that is impossible to do an upgrade without downtime...
[14:21] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/f74c827fd nvidia-settings changed the section back
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: i think i got it
[14:21] <jrib> Maggie: your system isn't up to date.  I know you have a slow connectiont.  How long will the following take: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[14:21] <Gnea> tyson_: it's trying to use 177.82 instead of 177.80
[14:21] <endrit> by
[14:21] <a_ok> erUSUS: well only downtime i have is a service restart
[14:21] <Gnea> tyson_: so i don't know, never played wow before with wine.
[14:22] <ortsvorsteher> endrit, ich bin ein mensch und kann ein wenig english. bist du schon im deutschen kanal?
[14:22] <tyson_> Gnea: I had 177.82 installed first, then i went back to 177.80
[14:22] <X-tremAl_Raven> Anyone knows how to setup Pidgin to work with juick.com?
[14:22] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, you have an other solution?
[14:22] <a_ok> erUSUS that is if it does things the way i used to
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: on the line below the one you just changed, change: Identifier  "Device0"
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: to: Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
[14:22] <Gnea> tyson_: then some portion of it is still installed... maybe in /usr/lib
[14:22] <tyson_> Gnea: Is there a way i can delete my nvidia files and just reinstall 177.80 only?
[14:23] <Gnea> tyson_: it's not that simple now, you've already installed it
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: then change the line in screen that says Device  "Device0" to Device "Configured Video Device"
[14:23] <Gnea> tyson_: can you pastebin the output of this command:  ls -l /usr/lib/libGL*
[14:23] <ataufik> Hello everyone... I have problem when running "apt-get update" like this : W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://dl2.foss-id.web.id intrepid-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>
[14:23] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, like this? : http://pastebin.com/f1ecbc36e
[14:23] <slayton> ataufik: that means the repository at dl2.foss-id.web.id is bad
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: exactly like that, now make the second change in the screen section
[14:24] <saschahl> __doc__: I don't know if many games are able to use the input/event devices.
[14:24] <slayton> ataufik: contact the person responsible for managing the repository
[14:24] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, which one?
[14:24] <saschahl> __doc__: but have a look at some udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/ and copy/modify one
[14:24] <ataufik> slayton, can I just change the repo in the source.list?
[14:24] <Gnea> i've got the same problem going on here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/293570  the usb drive simply refuses to keep a stable connection, the system keeps asking me what do I want to do with the blank disk in the drive
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: Device         "Device0"  changes to    Device    "Configured Video Device"
[14:24] <a_ok> erUSUL, this is how i do it on my non Ubuntu box: remove old version, compile new version and install, check installed files/config files, <initscript> restart
[14:24] <slayton> ataufik: sure you could remove it, but the software you installed from that repo would no longer be eligble for updates from that repo
[14:24] <tyson_> Gnea: http://pastebin.com/m3bfcd74f
[14:25] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, in line 55 yes?
[14:25] <slayton> ataufik: eligible is the wrong word.... you could get updates
[14:25] <tyson_> Gnea: Sorry sec
[14:25] <Gnea> tyson_: wrong one
[14:25] <Gnea> tyson_: np
[14:25] <mosfet> does someone knows where I could find a new version for dovecot on ubuntu 8.04
[14:25] <slayton> ataufik: grr... you could NOT get updates
[14:25] <Maggie> jrib the problem is still there on different user
[14:25] <mosfet> I tried on backports but no success
[14:25] <savenger> Hi everybody...
[14:25] <erUSUL> a_ok: a restart impilies a stop start that's how apt does it too
[14:25] <slayton> mosfet: install from source
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: line 55 in the pastebin, yes
[14:25] <saschahl> __doc__: try to match on DRIVERS, SUBSYSTEM and on KERNEL and set MODE and have it create a symlink with SYMLINK
[14:25] <erUSUL> a_ok: implies*
[14:25] <jrib> Maggie: k, did you catch my message about updating?
[14:25] <savenger> I have a problem with using autofs, where can I read out error-messages for it?
[14:25] <tyson_> Gnea: http://pastebin.com/m59e3671f
[14:25] <ataufik> slayton, do you mean every repo server has different repo files?
[14:26] <Maggie> jrob no
[14:26] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, like that? http://pastebin.com/f3fd3ce36
[14:26] <Maggie> jrib no
[14:26] <jrib> Maggie: your system isn't up to date.  I know you have a slow connectiont.  How long will the following take: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[14:26] <Shoopuf> Any reason why I wouldn't want to run a sudo aptitude update/install/safe-upgrade?
[14:26] <Shoopuf> on a web server setup
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: looks perfect
[14:26] <Gnea> tyson_: aaah, there it is
[14:26] <ortsvorsteher> :)
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: save and restart x
[14:26] <__doc__> saschahl: I'm a programmer, but honestly, I don't grok udev rules any tiny bit. it looks all gibberish to me.
[14:26] <tyson_> Gnea: Good to hear
[14:26] <a_ok> erUSUL, yeah i know but i want to stop it (the old version files removed but still running) after i installed the new version. so it starts the new version
[14:26] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, ok :)
[14:26] <Maggie> jrib 7 hours
[14:26] <slayton> ataufik: what the error means is that the changes made to are invalid... I don't know what changes were made... it looks like the index file is out of date though
[14:27] <jrib> Maggie: k.  The only other thing I would check for is what do you have installed to /usr/local/?
[14:27] <slayton> ataufik: again try contacting the person who is hosting the repository
[14:27] <Gnea> tyson_: now what package does this command say it's in:  dpkg -S /usr/lib/libGL.so.177.82
[14:27] <Grab> how to open .nrg files ?
[14:27] <magicsrv_> jinja-sheep, ActionParsnip . I got it. Linux IS CaseSensitive. Thanks for the help :)
[14:27] <zamba> i want to clone a installed version of ubuntu onto several other identical machines.. what software can i use for this and is there something i need to keep in mind when cloning?
[14:27] <savenger> I have a problem with using autofs, where can I read out error-messages for it? /var/log/messages says nothing
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> magicsrv_: hugely case sensitive
[14:27] <Maggie> jrib how do i do that
[14:27] <zamba> and how can i set hostname based on dhcp?
[14:27] <kembertus> good day everyone
[14:28] <erUSUL> a_ok: well... i do not think i can help you; sorry... if there is a way to do what you want i do not know about it... maybe #ubuntu-server has more knowledgeabe people
[14:28] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, still i have a bad resolution. now i try gksudo nvidia-settings?
[14:28] <ataufik> slayton, okay... I 'll try., thanks
[14:28] <tyson_> Gnea: says its not found
[14:28] <jrib> Maggie: ls /usr/local/*
[14:28] <magicsrv_> ActionParsnip, In the end that seemed to be all the problem :) Changed the homedir from "/media/ftp/" to "/media/FTP" and it all went on place. Thanks again! :)
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: yeah man
[14:28] <jinja-sheep> magicsrv:  Good.  Now, get out of my flock. <_<
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> magicsrv_: np man
[14:28] <kembertus> i am new here in ubuntu and after installing and series of upgrades i now face this problem in stat up
[14:28] <jinja-sheep> magicsrv:  Good luck with your clients.
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> kembertus: what errors?
[14:29] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, by running gksudo nvidia-settings i still get You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server
[14:29] <kembertus> it has many boots to choose
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: ok try sudo nvidia-xconfig and restart x
[14:29] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, i try
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> kembertus: choose the newest kernel
[14:29] <a_ok> erUSUL, point is that i dont want apt to EVER start or stop services for me. I am the admin not apt. it took the mailserver down witout me noticing it (untill nagios started shouting that is)
[14:29] <Gnea> tyson_: alright, then you'll need to do this:  sudo rm /usr/lib/libGL.so.177.82 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.177.82 && ln -sf /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.177.80 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 && ln -sf /usr/lib/libGL.so.177.80 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
[14:29] <a_ok> erUSUL, ok thank you will try that
[14:29] <Gnea> tyson_: sudo ln -sf
[14:30] <erUSUL> a_ok: no problem
[14:30] <Maggie> jrib this was my output http://paste.ubuntu.com/100343/
[14:30] <tyson_> Gnea: every line at once or each /usr's lines seperate with sudo ln -sf?
[14:30] <ardchoille> Gnea: Will any of that be overwritten during updates to software?
[14:30] <jrib> Maggie: you have glib installed there.  Why?
[14:30] <Gnea> ardchoille: nope, updates won't fix it
[14:30] <ardchoille> ok
[14:30] <kembertus> yeah that is what i am doing right now but s there a way that my computer will boot continuously? like before i dont have this press "esc" and choose among the choices
[14:31] <Gnea> tyson_: sorry, once more, all on one line:   sudo rm /usr/lib/libGL.so.177.82 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.177.82 && sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.177.80 /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 && sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libGL.so.177.80 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
[14:31] <tyson_> Gnea: ok step complete what now?
[14:31] <Maggie> jrib it was required when i was installing something from source code
[14:32] <Gnea> tyson_: sudo ldconfig
[14:32] <jrib> Maggie: so why not use the repositories?
[14:32] <tyson_> Gnea: done
[14:32] <jrib> Maggie: what did you install from source code that you want to keep anyway?
[14:32] <Gnea> tyson_: okay, NOW try WoW
[14:32] <LurkerInTheWebs> Need a Linux hero here, guys. Two monitors, both outputting simultaneously until I "nvidia-xconfig" and restart. Then neither work. Trying to get twinview up and running.
[14:33] <kembertus> now there are 4 choices, blah.blah.blah.16; blah,blah,blah16 (recovey) and blah.blah.14
[14:33] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, i reeboted now, cause i clicked after restarting x on the false button. Now i have a very good resolution and will try gksudo nvidia-settings?
[14:33] <tyson_> Gnea: Pro =)
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: no, if its fine leave it
[14:33] <tyson_> Gnea: Now what if it goes back to the "No Signal" Screen in game play?
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: try running glxgears
[14:33] <Maggie> jrib to keep a backup  coz u know i have a slow connection
[14:33] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, i try glxgears
[14:33] <Gnea> tyson_: does it?
[14:33] <kembertus> AP thanks
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: run it a bit then close, tell me how many frames per second you get
[14:33] <tyson_> Gnea: So far no, you will know if i get disconnected soon
[14:34] <LurkerInTheWebs> Need a Linux hero here, guys. Two monitors, both outputting simultaneously until I "nvidia-xconfig" and restart. Then neither work. Trying to get twinview up and running.
[14:34] <Maggie> jrib Cmake
[14:34] <Gnea> tyson_: heh okay :)
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> !dualhead | LurkerInTheWebs
[14:34] <tyson_> Gnea: But when i had 177.82 installed it was random... anywhere from 5minutes to an hour
[14:34] <t94xr_laptop> Is there a way of upgrading network manager to one that supports both bluetooth and wireless connections at the same time?
[14:34] <kembertus> actionparnshp thanks
[14:34] <Gnea> tyson_: problem was, you had overlapping libraries leftover from your previous installation that didn't get removed correctly
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> kembertus: np bro, try tab completing names in irc too ;)
[14:34] <tyson_> Gnea: So it was calling the lib that wasnt installed?
[14:34] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, frank@zerberus:~$ glxgears XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":1.0"  after 4269 requests (32 known processed) with 0 events remaining. Segmentation fault
[14:34] <jrib> Maggie: cmake is in the repositories.  Let's get rid of the /usr/local/ stuff.  'sudo mv /usr/local/ /usr/local.old && sudo mkdir /usr/local/' and then reboot
[14:35] <kebomix> hello , i need help in ekiga
[14:35] <tyson_> Gnea: Well i wish i was pro at linux commands =( just started learning about a week ago
[14:35] <kebomix> icant call me friend
[14:35] <daredevilthere> Hey buddies help me.I installed flash in ubuntu 8.04 but it is not working
[14:35] <tyson_> Gnea: You my friend, *high five*
[14:35] <Gnea> tyson_: it was calling the lib that wasn't supposed to be installed that was still installed
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: run: glxinfo | grep -i direct
[14:35] <jrib> daredevilthere: 'not working' is not very descriptive
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: what does it say?
[14:35] <Gnea> tyson_: it takes time :)
[14:35] <kembertus> ActionParsnip: would there be problem if i was not able to fix my issue?
[14:35] <Gnea> tyson_: you might find this useful as well...
[14:35] <Gnea> !terminal | tyson_
[14:35] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, it says direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
[14:35] <Maggie> jrib nothing happened
[14:36] <savenger> I have a problem with using autofs, where can I read out error-messages for it? /var/log/messages says nothing
[14:36] <jrib> Maggie: what does 'ls /usr/local/' say now?
[14:36] <daredevilthere> jrib i mean firefox says install flash but its already installed
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: ok then run gksudo nvidia-settings
[14:36] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, i try
[14:36] <jrib> daredevilthere: how did you install it?
[14:36] <tyson_> Gnea: Ill defaintly have to check that out
[14:36] <daredevilthere> from adobe website . deb paskage
[14:36] <tyson_> Gnea: Thanks for taking your time and fixing my problem
[14:36] <Gnea> !flash | daredevilthere
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> kembertus: maybe you should boot an older kernel
[14:36] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, :( You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[14:36] <tyson_> Gnea: What do you get for being here? helping people?
[14:36] <Gnea> tyson_: you're welcome, glad it worked
[14:37] <jrib> daredevilthere: I've seen that package cause nothing but problems, I would just get rid of it and use flashplugin-nonfree
[14:37] <kembertus> ﻿ActionParsnip: what does that supose to mean? thanks
[14:37] <Gnea> tyson_: I get a lot of thanks, not much else
[14:37] <Ronald_> Has anybody had any problems with either the GeForce 7300GT PIC-e or GeForce 7600GS PCI-e video cards?
[14:37] <daredevilthere> jrib ok thank you so i install flashplugin-nonfree
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: hmmmm. i think you need to research how to setup ubntu for your particular nvidia card, if you run lspci it will say what it is
[14:37] <Grab> is it normal that "System->Administration->Hardware Drivers" is empty ??
[14:37] <Maggie> jrib this was the output "http://paste.ubuntu.com/100346/"
[14:38] <jrib> Maggie: so reboot
[14:38] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, this is my device 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1)
[14:38] <tyson_> Gnea: Well you keep doing what you do, great job and thanks again =)
[14:38] <jrib> Grab: if you have no hardware that uses proprietary drivers that are available, sure
[14:38] <Gnea> tyson_: cheers :)
[14:38] <Grab> jrgp, i have nvidia tnt2 video card
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: have you ran sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177
[14:39] <Grab> jrgp, im reading here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Driver%20Versions

[14:39] <ActionParsnip> that'll install the driver
[14:39] <aad> I use the Andrea USB-SM. Playback of a sound is working properly on it.

[14:40] <daredevilthere> Hey buddies how can i mount nokia 6630 memory card as regular partition
[14:40] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, you have the same card? in ubunt 8.10? and it runs? may my video card has an defect?
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: thats good
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: its just config
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> ortsvorsteher: you just need to wrestle it a bit
[14:41] <Icynoob> hi
[14:41] <ortsvorsteher> ActionParsnip, :) i am armed to wrestle ;)
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> then get your nunchucks out and attack
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> i gotta split
[14:41] <Icynoob> is it normal when i try to install ubuntu server it won't work and when i try with ubuntu desktop it works
[14:42] <doglino> How I do to enable the sound to work iin 2 programs at the same time?
[14:42] <erUSUL> Icynoob: well the kernel are different so this may explain it
[14:42] <Icynoob> ok thx
[14:43] <Icynoob> but when i use the desktop edition i can run lampapplication?
[14:43] <erUSUL> Icynoob: yes you can
[14:43] <Maggie> jrib thanx its all working now
[14:43] <gehel_> When I use Gnome Network Connections manager, the changes are not saved. Do you know in which file they should be saved ?
[14:43] <kennethgt> hi, i have a problem, i install ubuntu 8.1 in my laptop Dell Inspiron 1420 but the butons click dont do click
[14:43] <jrib> Maggie: no problem
[14:43] <Icynoob> ok thx that's it :)
[14:43] <erUSUL> Icynoob: ubuntu servers kernel is optimized for BIG machines
[14:44] <jrib> Maggie: be wary about compiling things from source, especially core libraries.  Most are in the repository anyway
[14:44] <gosuser> hello..im using GOS gadgets
[14:44] <zamba> how can i configure my dhcp client to use the hostname provided from the dhcp server?
[14:44] <gosuser> is there anyone here using the same
[14:44]  * Gnea notes that it's still impossible to burn cds/dvds in intrepid :(
[14:45] <daredevilthere> Hey how can i see wht packages are installed in ubuntu using apt-get
[14:45] <Gnea> zamba: hostname is set on your system, not on the dhcp server
[14:45] <Maggie> jrib thanx again but what if want a newer version
[14:45] <gosuser> gOS gadgets the source code its from ubuntu too, right
[14:45] <jrib> Maggie: a newer version of what?
[14:45] <Gnea> daredevilthere: dpkg -l | grep ^ii
[14:45] <zamba> Gnea: yeah, but i want to do it this way and have seen it done
[14:45] <zamba> Gnea: maybe using pump instead of dhclient..?
[14:46] <Gnea> zamba: maybe i don't understand what you're asking....
[14:46] <erUSUL> !clone | daredevilthere
[14:46] <daredevilthere> thanks ubottu and Gnea
[14:46] <Maggie> jrib of what i want to download and its old available in the repository e.g. vlc
[14:46] <daredevilthere> well is aptutide better or apt-get
[14:47] <ganja-sheep> !best | daredevilthere
[14:47] <jrib> Maggie: feel free to compile vlc, but not the libraries it depends on since those are in the repositories
[14:47] <jrib> !compile > Maggie
[14:47] <zamba> i want to set up a read only desktop user.. the user should have permission to log on to the system, but not perform any changes to their home directory.. (this is because this user will be shared between quite a few people)..
[14:47] <zamba> is this possible?
[14:48] <HideousNashimoto> 1368
[14:48] <zamba> will chmod-ing the different files break anything?
[14:48] <HideousNashimoto> lol wow
[14:48] <Lars> Okay...while not using the Nvidia X driver, my two screens both display simultaneously, but identically. When I nvidia-xconfig OR install another nvidia driver with EnvyNG...one monitor won't be detected. What is up? How can I enable TwinView!?
[14:48] <HideousNashimoto> This OS is opium for the MASSES!!!
[14:48] <HideousNashimoto> UBUNTU IS OPIUM FOR THE MASSES
[14:48] <gehel__> zamba: you might run into problems with some programs that expect write access to /home/user
[14:48] <jrib> HideousNashimoto: stop
[14:49]  * HideousNashimoto stops
[14:49] <zamba> gehel__: yeah, that's what i'm thinking as well
[14:49] <domas> Hi! If I rsync single file, it is being copied at 100MB/s, if I rsync same file as part of directory rsync, it is copied at 10MB/s, what should I do? :)
[14:49] <jrib> zamba: I don't know, I assume you need to be able to write sometimes, but why not use the Guest session in intrepid?  It wipes all the modifications on logout and starts fresh every time
[14:49] <zamba> gehel__: so i need some abstraction for the solution
[14:49] <HideousNashimoto> jrib, you should say pause
[14:49] <domas> (most of CPU time is in %sys)
[14:49] <gehel__> zamba: easier solution : use .bash_logout to reset the directory on exit
[14:49] <HideousNashimoto> now when I start again, I will go all over again
[14:49] <Maggie> jrib thanx I was a real pain eh!
[14:49] <daredevilthere> How can i save the pakages in my pc so that in future in dont have to install it from apt-get install pakage
[14:49] <zamba> gehel__ and jrib: oh.. both interesting solutions
[14:49] <B|ackPanther> Hi,i installed ubuntu using a disk and everytime i want to install something it asks me for the cdrom .How can i just download the stuff from online?
[14:50] <gehel__> does anyone know where the gnome network connection manager saves its config ?
[14:50] <daredevilthere> Bjackppanther use apt-get install package name
[14:50] <nillerz> Hey, I tested Banshee and it's really... um... *quiet*. I checked AlsaMixer and there is only one channel, master volume. Do I need to download extra drivers?
[14:50] <xnv> Are there any command line commands I can run to get a list of unmounted drives?
[14:50] <daredevilthere> Bjackpanther use apt-get install package name
[14:50] <Jack_Sparrow> BlackWolf90, remove the cd from your list of sources
[14:50] <zamba> jrib: what limitations does the guest user have?
[14:50] <Lars> Okay...while not using the Nvidia X driver, my two screens both display simultaneously, but identically. When I nvidia-xconfig OR install another nvidia driver with EnvyNG...one monitor won't be detected. What is up? How can I enable TwinView!?
[14:51] <zamba> jrib: and is it possible to set up several different guest users?
[14:51] <gehel__> B|ackPanther: remove the cdrom from the source list in /etc/apt/source*
[14:51] <jrib> zamba: all I know is it exists in intrepid, I've never used it
[14:51] <Jack_Sparrow> BlackWolf90, system.. admin...software sources
[14:51] <omnydevi> xnv - dmesg or dmsg
[14:51] <zamba> jrib: ok
[14:51] <aad> Hi, does anybody know how the complete audio chain is arranged in Ubuntu (8.04)? It seems that there is a stack of different drivers (PulseAudio, Alsa, OSS?, alsamixer, amixer, gnome-audio-mixer) that each do their part in the audiochain, and that one of them blocks/mutes the microphone signal. I want to use an external USB sound device (Andrea USB-SA)...
[14:51] <omnydevi> one of the two
[14:51] <gehel__> B|ackPanther: you can also use synaptic to configure that graphically
[14:51] <xnv> omnydevi: No, I mean something useful
[14:51] <omnydevi> xnv - dmesg or dmsg
[14:51] <A_legend> Guys, I'm planning to maintain, and support a new Linux-like kernel.
[14:51] <xnv> omnydevi: Not useful
[14:52] <omnydevi> it shows you everything you need to know
[14:52] <BlackWolf90> Jack_Sparrow, you want B|ackPanther, not me ;)
[14:52] <xnv> omnydevi: And a bunch of other junk
[14:52] <gehel__> aad: sound in Linux is still a big mess an is going to stay that way for some time ;-) good luck !
[14:52] <omnydevi> not sure how that isnt useful
[14:52] <A_legend> Are you interested?
[14:52] <Jack_Sparrow> A_legend, That would be a question for a different channel..
[14:52] <Jack_Sparrow> BlackWolf90, corect.. thanks
[14:52] <A_legend> What channel?
[14:52] <xnv> omnydevi: It's a waste of time. What typical user wants to wade through dmesg just to mount a hard drive?
[14:52] <Jack_Sparrow> A_legend, That would be a question for a different channel.. no
[14:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !kernel
[14:53] <omnydevi> xnv - one who cares about their system
[14:53] <A_legend> I'm making changes to code!
[14:53] <Lars> Okay...while not using the Nvidia X driver, my two screens both display simultaneously, but identically. When I nvidia-xconfig OR install another nvidia driver with EnvyNG...one monitor won't be detected. What is up? How can I enable TwinView!?
[14:53] <Jack_Sparrow> A_legend, Please stop
[14:53] <omnydevi> lars - go to nvidia settings on ...
[14:53] <xnv> omnydevi: I care about my system and I don't want to wade through dmesg.
[14:53] <omnydevi> lars uh, crap. administrative things
[14:53] <daredevilthere> !dmesg
[14:54] <Jack_Sparrow> xnv, Most users dont need to wade through dmsg to mount a drive
[14:54] <aad> ﻿gehel__ - that is too bad. Can I disable parts of the whole audio chain? E.g. disable PulseAudio and try to only use ALSA? Then I can concentrate on a smaller part to get it working...
[14:54] <xnv> Jack_Sparrow: Right. Nor should they.
[14:54] <omkar> helo guys
[14:54] <ohzie> xnv, is it a usb hard drive?
[14:54] <feedmechicken> Please help me!! My sound keeps going out. It works fine under the guest session.
[14:54] <Lars> omnydevi, I do, however, before I do that I need to "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and restart...which causes one monitor to not be detected any longer
[14:54] <xnv> ohzie: "It"?
[14:54] <omkar> can anyone tell me why i am unable to view the screen when i am using Kubuntu 8.10
[14:54] <ohzie> xnv, the drive you're trying to mount.
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> xnv, I didnt see your question, I just got up..  Would you repeat it for me
[14:55] <xnv> ohzie: I'm trying to get a list of mountable devices
[14:55] <omkar> I am having Nvidia 6200 Graphics card
[14:55] <xnv> Preferably those that aren't already mounted
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> xnv, sudo fdisk -l for a start
[14:55] <ohzie> xnv, Oh okay. I saw him comment about dmesg and I thought you were having trouble mounting something.
[14:55] <nillerz> My laptop is now incapable of accessing the internet via eth0. Any ideas? I have none, frankly.
[14:56] <ohzie> nillerz, How did you get there?
[14:56] <omkar> hello anyone plz help me
[14:56] <Jack_Sparrow> xnv, there are also scripts that will mount all your windows drives but unless something odd is going on you should not even need to gdo that
[14:56] <omnydevi> lars not sure, you might not have the right driver for the job
[14:56] <nillerz> dunno just decided to not work anymore.
[14:57] <nillerz> I didn't even touch any network settings, it just stopped. My router and modem seem to be fine though
[14:57] <Lars> omnydevi, then where do I find the right driver and which one is it?
[14:57] <omnydevi> lars if you did, i think it would work much better :) you go into your xorg.conf and change the nv to nvidia or vice versa?
[14:57] <nillerz> I'm using the same router and same modem for the other computer through which I'm chatting to you fine gentlemen
[14:57] <omnydevi> lars - i recommend envyng
[14:57] <omkar> Nvidia and Kubuntu do they have probs?
[14:57] <grobda24> Anyone get display problems with Google Earth ? It runs OK but takes ages to switch back to after minimise and when it does come up it sort of hogs the display with various areas of the Gnome GUI whited out.
[14:57] <Lars> omnydevi, did you read my original question? I EnvyNG and it only does the same thing.
[14:58] <ohzie> Is there any way to make gksu not gray out everything behind it?
[14:58] <omnydevi> lars you using driver 173 or 177?
[14:58] <xnv> Jack_Sparrow: Seems like there should be a command-line app to do this all by now.
[14:58] <Lars> omnydevi: 173
[14:58] <Lars> no option for 177
[14:58] <omnydevi> could try out 177
[14:58] <omnydevi> 177 failed for me, so i use 173, but if it didnt work, i would go 177 :D
[14:58] <Grab> how can i know what drivers are installed for my video card ?
[14:59] <Jack_Sparrow> xnv, Please end the discussion and tell us what kind of drive etc and ask a specific question
[14:59] <Lars> omnydevi: where do I get 177?
[14:59] <omnydevi> Lars - administrative stuff, uhh...let me think....hardware drivers i think, something like that
[14:59] <omnydevi> Lars - sorry, at work and on my xp box...and still fairly new to ubuntu. I don't remember it all off the top of my head yet
[14:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Lars, what chipset on the nvidia and what release / os
[15:00] <daredevilthere> Hey many flash is not working
[15:00] <daredevilthere> any solution
[15:00] <omnydevi> dared on 64 bit os?
[15:00] <Grab> how can i know what drivers are installed for my video card ?
[15:00] <Grab> please :)
[15:00] <daredevilthere> No
[15:00] <daredevilthere> i m on 32 bit os
[15:00] <omnydevi> grab - System - Administrative something, hardware drivers
[15:00] <Grab> ok
[15:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Grab, Please hold down the repeats...
[15:00] <Grab> tnxù
[15:00] <omnydevi> dared did you install flash plugin-nonfree?
[15:00] <Lars> Jack_Sparrow: I'm on 8600gt, 8.04, acer m2n32-sli deluxe motherboard
[15:01] <xnv> Jack_Sparrow: I did ask a specific question and keep getting unrelated answers. The only "discussion" was to explain how the answers were wrong. It appears the right answer is "No"
[15:01] <daredevilthere> omyydevi yap
[15:01] <daredevilthere> omydevi yap
[15:01] <ohzie> xnv, I thought fdisk -l worked rather well.
[15:01] <Grab> omnydevi,  "System->Administration->Hardware Drivers" is empty
[15:01] <xnv> ohzie: Doesn't apply to all mountable media
[15:01] <Jack_Sparrow> xnv, At the mommmment you are trolling.. I just joined and want to know your specific question without your commentary
[15:01] <omnydevi> grab ooer! do you have a nvidia config or something to due with nvidia?
[15:01] <ohzie> xnv, It's the closest thing you'll get unless you sift.
[15:01] <daredevilthere> omnydevi i installed flash 10 and flash-pluginnonfree
[15:02] <xnv> ohzie: Sift?
[15:02] <Grab> omnydevi,  i dont know ?
[15:02] <omkar> I have a multiboot dvd which gives me problem when i use Kubuntu Live cd
[15:02] <ohzie> Jack_Sparrow, He wants to list all mountable media
[15:02] <omkar> i get half of the screen in Pink
[15:02] <omkar> why is it
[15:02] <omnydevi> dared I would uninstall it all and find a good wiki via google for it, flash always gave me hell, but i am on 64 bit so cant help much with 32
[15:02] <omnydevi> Grab what kinda video card you have?
[15:02] <grobda24> Oh I've got it. I have to turn compiz off for Google Earth.
[15:02] <Grab> omnydevi, nvidia tnt2
[15:03] <kebomix> hello , i need help with Ekiga , i can not call my friend , i need help with that ?
[15:03] <omnydevi> Grab hmm. could edit you /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if it is using a vesa driver
[15:03] <Lars> Jack_Sparrow: did you get my stats earlier?
[15:03] <ohzie> xnv, try lshw | grep /dev/
[15:03] <ohzie> xnv,  sudo that though
[15:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Lars, Yes, the 8000 nvidia's have been the most troublesome
[15:04] <omnydevi> Lars - it should say something about video driver. if it is vesa, that may be it
[15:04] <ohzie> xnv, I think that does it pretty awesomely.
[15:04] <archman> hello, me again...
[15:04] <ohzie> xnv, If it's not what you're looking for lemme know though.
[15:04] <ohzie> I'll try again. :3
[15:04] <omnydevi> lars - or you could install envyng as well and let it do the work for you
[15:04] <omnydevi> oops
[15:05] <Lars> Jack_Sparrow: The real problem is that one monitor detects as a CTR, the other disappears
[15:05] <omnydevi> sorry, i didnt sleep last night, minds kinda going all over the place
[15:05] <archman> can i overwrite deb files? i have wine 0.9.59 and want to install 1.0.0. Do i need to remove 0.9.59 ? (it's not a problem, but just for the info)
[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Lars, I dont do dual head.. have you tried with effects off..
[15:05] <Grab> omnydevi, http://paste2.org/new-paste
[15:05] <Lars> Jack_Sparrow: doesn't make a difference
[15:05] <coolbhavi> hello
[15:05] <coolbhavi> I have a 128 bit hex key and I have wicd along with ndiswrapper but it doesnt seem to work
[15:06] <Lars> Jack_Sparrow: when the latest drivers are installed, nvidia-xconfig is run, etc. only one monitor will be detected
[15:06] <nillerz> how do you download video drivers via terminal? I think I interrupeted it before and now I' having some slight video problems
[15:06] <coolbhavi> Its a shared key
[15:06] <coolbhavi> I am on BCM 4310 broadcom card

[15:10] <omnydevi> Grab - it isnt detecting the card at all
[15:10] <Grab> omnydevi,  what can i do now ?
[15:10] <omnydevi> Grab in your Synaptic Package manager, search for envyng
[15:10] <Grab> ok
[15:10] <Grab> than
[15:10] <Grab> then
[15:10] <Lars> Jack_Sparrow: I safeboot, reconfigure X...both screens come back. The minute I do anything Nvidia X one disappears...what's up?

[15:12] <omnydevi> Grab - i'd go with gtk or core
[15:12] <Grab> you sure?
[15:12] <omnydevi> Grab - one that says it will install nvidia drivers automagically
[15:12] <joejc> anyone know where i would find a ftp File Synchronizer ?
[15:12] <floatboat> how can i edit pdf files (highlighting and annotation)?
[15:13] <Grab> ok omnydevi lemme see :)
[15:13] <Ludo> floatboat, try inkscape but it can only edit one page at a time
[15:14] <Ludo> How can I stretch a gnome panel over two screens? I have the notebook screen and then a external screen. Using the Nvidia X Server Settings app I enabled Xinerama and now I have two screen but I want my panel to stretch over both screens.
[15:14] <Guillem> Ludo, the xinerama stuff means that panel only is at one screen, IMHO
[15:15] <joejc> Anyone know where i would find a ftp File Synchronizer?
[15:15] <Guillem> Ludo, apps get maximized at each screen, also
[15:15] <xukun> is it possible to play blue ray movie on ubuntu?
[15:15] <Ludo> Guillem, true and I would like to keep it like that but would like that just the panel stretch over to the other screen
[15:15] <testuser> Hello!
[15:16] <AdvoWork> anyone here know much about editing firefox (about:config) and printers? ie can a printer overwrite the settings as i keep changing them and they change back....
[15:16] <Guillem> Ludo, you want the panel on the other screen?
[15:16] <Ludo> Guillem, on both
[15:16] <Dam0> hello,i have just added a user in Ubuntu 8.10 now they are trying to connect but they cannot, they said port 22 needs to be open is this true and how do i do it?
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Ludo, effects  can mess with you when trying dual head...
[15:16] <Ludo> but other screen would be a good start
[15:16] <Guillem> Ludo, create another panel
[15:16] <Kaga> ludo, you can have a panel on both screens, but you can't have one panel that stretches between two
[15:16] <testuser> My ssh has stopped working; I get "Permission denied (publickey,password)" errors.
[15:16] <daredevilthere> !flash
[15:17] <testuser> Can anyone help?  Thanks!
[15:17] <daredevilthere> !Gnash
[15:17] <Ludo> Kaga, Guillem , Jack_Sparrow thanks for the reply I will run a second panel
[15:17] <Guillem> Ludo, I guess you can have two panels, each one in one screen. Not sure....
[15:17] <Dam0> hello,i have just added a user in Ubuntu 8.10 now they are trying to connect but they cannot, they said port 22 needs to be open is this true and how do i do it?
[15:18] <mosfet> with vim how can I uncomment in a file all fil startins by  a // followed by some spaces and with console word
[15:18] <daredevilthere> edit ssh config file
[15:18] <Guillem> Jack_Sparrow, effects are mostly OK  in my case.
[15:18] <mosfet> for instance
[15:18] <Grab> omnydevi,  i've installed envyNG-core: what to do now ?
[15:18] <pr0gr4mm3r> Hi, I am having trouble editing/saving files in gedit over FTP.  When I save the file, the permissions are changes to 0666 (-rw-rw-rw).  Making my scripts world-writable is a huge security problem.  Why does it even need to do that, and is there a way to keep the permissions the same?
[15:18] <omnydevi> Grab go to applications - system tools, envyng
[15:18] <richar_d> j #linumint
[15:18] <richar_d> woops
[15:18] <mosfet> \\         console(...)
[15:18] <Grab> omnydevi,  i dont have system toosl under applications
[15:19] <Lars> Jack_Sparrow: the 3D acceleration driver under Admin > Hardware doesn't even allow my to detect the one screen that does work
[15:19] <jim_p> what can i use to view a .pps file? other than openoffice impress of course and its mega huge bloat
[15:19] <jrib> mosfet: /join #vim
[15:19] <Dam0> how do i open ports in Ubuntu?
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Guillem, I seem to remember specific issues with nvidia drivers and xinerama, but they may have it sorted by now
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !iptables
[15:19] <jrib> jim_p: powerpoint probably
[15:19] <jim_p> jrib, under wine? i'd better go with OOo impress!
[15:19] <jim_p> no
[15:19] <daredevilthere> !iptables
[15:19] <jim_p> something else?
[15:20] <Little_Green> hey guys!
[15:20] <daredevilthere> HEy
[15:20] <jrib> jim_p: google docs
[15:20] <Little_Green> Can s.o. tell me how to run my War Craft III Copy with wine?
[15:20] <jim_p> jrib, online?
[15:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Little_Green, /join #winehq   or look in the appdb
[15:20] <Little_Green> The CD-Rom is in the CD Rom, but it keeps telling me "Insert CD Rom"
[15:20] <jrib> jim_p: yes.  Maybe ppthtml works too
[15:20] <Guillem> Jack_Sparrow, I use twinview, and almost everything runs fine. Compiz provides value to the twin-view stuff (scale windows of only one of the monitors, ...)
[15:20] <omnydevi> Grab - its under applications. Sorry i am not on my ubuntu machine and my virtual machine here is kde
[15:21] <Little_Green> Jack_Sparrow, tnx
[15:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !appdb > Little_Green
[15:21] <omnydevi> Grab so i can't tell you *exactly* just roughly
[15:21] <Dam0> how do i open port 22 for users to use?
[15:21] <jim_p> jrib, thanks for your help
[15:21] <Little_Green> Thanks!
[15:21] <jrib> !ssh > Dam0
[15:22] <jrib> jim_p: I think ms used to have a viewer only.  That might work ok in wine
[15:23] <Dam0> i just want to know
[15:23] <Dam0> how do i open port 22?
[15:23] <jim_p> is realtek 8100 supported by linux?
[15:23] <jrib> Dam0: read what ubottu sent you
[15:24] <Dam0> i know all about it
[15:24] <jrib> Dam0: then you know the answer to your question.
[15:25] <Kaga> jim_p, i think so
[15:26] <Grab> omnydevi, i am installing all 3 packages. maybe they're all required :) i'll let you know mate.tnx
[15:26] <testuser> Does anyone know how to fix "Permission denied (publickey,password)" errors from SSH?
[15:26] <jrib> testuser: use the right key or enter the right password?
[15:26] <Lars> Is there any way besides nvidia-settings to run two screens with a nvidia graphics card?
[15:26] <neowangdue> hi
[15:27] <jrib> Lars: edit xorg.conf by hand
[15:27] <Lars> jrib, I need a little help with that?
[15:27] <Dam0> i installed network-manager0dev is this correct?
[15:27] <jrib> Lars: wiki.ubuntu.com/X
[15:27] <jrib> !dualhead | Lars
[15:27] <jrib> Dam0: why?
[15:28] <omnydevi> Grab - good to hear man :D
[15:28] <Dam0> ohh i found it
[15:28] <floatboat> does anyone know of a GUI for ctorrent?
[15:30] <omnydevi> floatboat - ever try deluge?
[15:30] <gizmo> why my xchat can see your nick list in here?>
[15:31] <joejc> anyone know a way to automatically send files in a folder to my website?
[15:32] <fosco_> gizmo: make sure it is xchat and not gnome-xchat, go to Help - About
[15:33] <IndyGunFreak> gizmo: if you know you're using xchat, click the view menu then check "User List".. otherwise on Xchat Gnome, its a button.
[15:34] <meho_> Hi yesturday i have updated to 7.10 of the ubuntu os now the problem was and is that i do not have sound on my com i would say its a driver problem but what do u guys think it is
[15:34] <IndyGunFreak> meho_: what sound device?
[15:34] <meho_> ReakTek
[15:35] <IndyGunFreak> meho_: how does lspci idenfiy your sound
[15:35] <Jack_Sparrow> meho_, YO probably dont remember if you recompiled alsa to get it going on 7/04 but if you did, then you would need to do it abain
[15:35] <Grab> omnydevi,  i was right: i had to install the 3 of them
[15:35] <Grab> im runnin envyng right now
[15:35] <yggwork> what comes after hardy ?
[15:35] <IndyGunFreak> yggwork: intrepid
[15:35] <joejc> anyone know a way to automatically send files in a folder to my website?
[15:35] <joejc> then jaunty
[15:35] <yggwork> is hardy pretty much current ?
[15:35] <meho_> btw i am a noob to ubuntu and linux in general
[15:35] <omnydevi> Grab - my bad man, i always used the website, just recently found out it was in the repo
[15:36] <Grab> np omnydevi
[15:36] <Grab> tnx
[15:36] <meho_> so this is straight off the cd no changes made from there other than update from 7.04 to 7.10
[15:36] <Grab> omnydevi,  how can i be sure that drivers are installed and that my video card is recognized ?
[15:37] <frostburn> joejc, using an scp script with cron would work
[15:37] <omnydevi> Grab - run the application and select the automatic one, automatically install driver
[15:37] <joejc> how do i do that?
[15:37] <Jack_Sparrow> meho_, if you type  /join #alsa  they can probably sort it quickly  .. they handle sound for that release
[15:38] <meho_> thank you very much
[15:38] <Temujin_> meho_: what kind of sound card do you have?
[15:39] <floatboat> omnydevi: i've never tried it
[15:40] <floatboat> can it minimize to tray?
[15:40] <daredevilthere> HEy a;;;
[15:42] <r|z0n> Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop running Ubuntu 8.10. For some reason, if I let my laptop sit for a while, it will go into Suspend mode, but when I move the mouse to go out of Suspend mode, my screen is either black or white. The hard drive light is blinking as if there were activity going on with my laptop, but it never returns from suspend mode. What do I need to check or change to resolve this issue? Thanks for the help!
[15:42] <floatboat> does anyone know of a panel such as fbpanel that has a network monitor macro ? (fbpanel only has CPU monitor) ?
[15:43] <IndyGunFreak> r|z0n: there's quite a few laptops that have suspend issues... mine do (Acers)
[15:44] <r|z0n> I don't think I had the issue with 8.04.1
[15:44] <IndyGunFreak> well, thats pretty much irrelevant since you're using 8.10
[15:44] <r|z0n> Yeah I know
[15:45] <r|z0n> It's a pain in the you know what, such a pain I've felt like going back to 8.04.1
[15:45] <IndyGunFreak> sometimes the grass isn't greener on the otherside
[15:45] <r|z0n> lol yeah i know
[15:45] <omnydevi> floatboat - i highly suggest it, its freaking awesome
[15:46] <DJones> r|z0n: I've got a Dell 8100 with 8.10, I don't have any problem like that, after an hour my screen saver kicks in, but a mouse click takes me back to the normal screen, I don't have suspend set up
[15:46] <r|z0n> I like 8.10, especially on this old laptop, it runs very well, in fact I've made it my primary OS on this laptop and hardly ever use XP unless I just absolutely have to.
[15:46] <floatboat> omnydevi: ok , deluge it is :)
[15:46] <Lareth> Hello I get the warning shown in http://pastebin.com/m120e5a45 in my error.log for apache2. I checked the folder mentioned and it contains files pdo.so and sqlite.so instead of the ones mentioned in the log. I installed apache and php through apt. I am using ubuntu server 8.04
[15:47] <r|z0n> DJones, thanks for the info. I wonder how I can disable the Suspend feature on this thing? I don't really need it considering that I don't have a working battery and its always plugged into the wall anyhow
[15:47] <piksi> r|z0n: linus torvalds has something highly related: http://torvalds-family.blogspot.com/2008/12/debugging-hell.html
[15:47] <DJones> r|z0n: I'm not sure about disabling, I've never set suspend up, so can't help there
[15:47] <SergGnom> по руски лепечим?
[15:48] <piksi> !ru
[15:48] <r|z0n> DJones, Just out of curiosity, does your 8100 have mouse issues? Sometimes I can sit this thing down and my mouse goes haywire, I think it has something to do with the mouse button between G and H keys.
[15:48] <omnydevi> floatboat - it has ip filters that block garbage ips and has data encryption that bypasses some isp p2p bandwidth throttlers. plus a few more nifty features
[15:48] <babo> my syslog doesn't contain any setting for apache ...
[15:48] <babo> is that strange ?
[15:48] <jim_p> is realtek 8100 supported by linux?
[15:49] <DJones> r|z0n: Nope, to be honest, I don't have any issues at all, sound, graphics, mouse, keyboard - all work fine, even desktop effects although they can be a bit slow
[15:51] <gizmo> anyone can help me how to decrease my disk usage in my terminal?
[15:52] <r|z0n> Everything works great on this one too.. Especially after I replaced the 256 MB ram with 512... I can't play DVD's from Linux though... really about the only issue... plus the mouse issue I mentioned earlier....
[15:52] <gst-kaps> is there a way to create a ext3 partition without formating ?
[15:52] <SlimeyPete> gizmo: use "df -h" to display disk usage, and "du -hs /path/to/directory" to show the size of a directory
[15:52] <r|z0n> DJones, has your 8100 suggested that you enable the restricted drivers for the video?
[15:53] <omnydevi> gst-kaps - whats fs is the partition now?
[15:53] <gosuser> oooh my god.,...its happen again
[15:53] <gosuser> my ubuntu suddenly logout
[15:53] <r|z0n> DJones, mine did, and I enabled them and this thing went downhill.. i dont think the restricted drivers (NVidia drivers) that ubuntu suggests work too well with this laptop.
[15:53] <gst-kaps>  omnydevi:gparted says its unallocated, but actually its a corrupted ext3 partition, where my ubuntu was installed
[15:54] <Temujin_> jim_p: what's a realtek 8100? LAN chip? Wireless?
[15:54] <DJones> r|z0n: Yes, I'm using the nvidia driver from the repo, that was a problem to start with because of the nvidia issues, but the fixes seem to have worked fine, I'm not sure which driver I'm using at the minute though (I'm in work, the laptop is at home)
[15:54] <omnydevi> gst-kaps, are you on the live cd right now then? and what tool says it is corrupted?
[15:54] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: well, then you're likely gonna have to format it.. usually unallocated, means nothing is there.. are you sure you didn't accidently delete that partition?
[15:55] <r|z0n> DJones, I need to get a battery for this laptop. I hardly use this laptop except when I'm on the go. It was given to me, had a bad hard drive in it. Replaced with a WD 60 GB. Except being heavy as an anchor, this thing is solid as a rock. Great machine for its age.
[15:55] <gst-kaps> omnydevi:yes on live cd , gparted says so, and fdisk doesnt show it up
[15:55] <msh1> hello
[15:55] <omnydevi> gst - yeah, Indy is right. Most likely you are going to have to reformat. Did you use guided or manual?
[15:55] <gst-kaps> IndyGunFreak:yeah I am sure i didnt deleted the partition
[15:55] <msh1> How do I add new/custom keyboard layout in Intrepid?
[15:55] <r|z0n> Do you know if you can put a battery in the place of the floppy drive and have 2 batteries running simultaneously on this thing?
[15:56] <Temujin_> jim_p: ah, it's another codename for r8139-compatible NIC's; yeah, linux supports  them
[15:56] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: then i would suspect some sort of hardware failure, is it setup w/ Ubuntu and XP?
[15:56] <IndyGunFreak> !keyboard | msh1
[15:56] <DJones> r|z0n: Same here, I replaced a hdd, but the rest of it is great, 8+ years old and can still beat some new laptops. Yes, you can have two batteries fitted, as you say, one in the floppy bay
[15:56] <gst-kaps> IndyGunFreak:yes, after i installed xp it screwed my ubuntu
[15:56] <omnydevi> gst ahhh yeah
[15:57] <daleharvey> following the trouble shooting steps to get rid of pulseaudio to get skype working
[15:57] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: i'm just guessing, that XP tried to take that partition.
[15:57] <omnydevi> gst - windows broke it. windows bootloader is most likely to blame
[15:57] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: cuz if it shows unallocated, that means there's no file system.
[15:57] <jim_p> Temujin_, i still dont know. i am waiting its owner to mail me his lspci!!!
[15:57] <daleharvey> and it tells me its going to get rid of Remove the following packages:
[15:57] <daleharvey> ubuntu-desktop
[15:57] <IndyGunFreak> thus no OS
[15:57] <omnydevi> gst it will write on the first hdd and the first partition it sees period. there is no option to change it
[15:57] <IndyGunFreak> daleharvey: its just a meta-package, no big deal
[15:57] <gst-kaps> omnydevi: but now whats the option to get it work ?
[15:57] <omnydevi> gst - reinstall ubuntu mate...sorry
[15:57] <msh1> Induy: I know this but this is not letting me add a new layout of my own. do you know something? i mean exact the directory where these layouts are?
[15:58] <r|z0n> DJones, thats pretty cool. i noticed the battery fit in the floppy bay, but didn't know if it would actually work,, This thing was built pretty tough. I'd say for a second owner that its in mint shape. But you can tell that the plastic that its made out of is a much higher quality than plastics the newer laptops are made out of.
[15:58] <IndyGunFreak> msh1: unfortunately i don't
[15:58] <daleharvey> ok, tentatively say Y
[15:58] <daleharvey> *says
[15:58] <gst-kaps> IndyGunFreak, omnydevi:: but then how can I recover data from there ?
[15:59] <omnydevi> gst - you could try to copy it to a usb, or use the linux rescuecd...that would be your best bet. no telling really what xp did though
[15:59] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: well, hopefully you backed up prior.. because if its unallocated, there's no file system, and it will be very difficult to get data off the partition.. most likely the data is gone
[15:59] <omnydevi> yeah, most likely winblows formatted the whole thing during install
[16:00] <daredevilthere> Hey i installed flashplugin-nonfree but still it is not working
[16:00] <IndyGunFreak> omnydevi: well, it probably didn't format it, because if it did, it would be NTFS, not unallocated
[16:00] <r|z0n> DJones, I have a toshiba laptop that my parents bought me about 5 years ago, its a nice machine, but its literally fallen apart. hinge busted on it and the outer plastic is scratched to death. For the money I thought it would have been a little more durable, like this Dell laptop.
[16:00] <omnydevi> Indy you are right. I think the best bet is from livecd to mount the partition and see if anything is on it.
[16:00] <r|z0n> I ended up having to hook an external keyboard/mouse and LCD to the Toshiba laptop and turn it into a desktop. Impossible to use it with an LCD that has a broken hinge.
[16:00] <gst-kaps>  IndyGunFreak:omnydevi: it didnt formatted the whole , as i saw the process closly, how can I recue data
[16:01] <IndyGunFreak> omnydevi: yup..
[16:01] <DJones> r|z0n: I've had mine since new, it was top of the range when I got it.  Built to last :)
[16:01] <Unknownuser56> omnydevi,don't be ignorant,you can choose which partition to install Windows on,after install,the mbr is rewriten so you won't be able to boot ubuntu until you fix it
[16:01] <ASULutzy> Quick question, if I have a machine that has Windows Remote Desktop enabled, is it possible to mount a drive from there in a simple way? I know I could just RDP to the thing and restart it to Ubuntu and just use ssh, but looking for a solution that doesn't involve RDP'ing to the machine graphically
[16:01] <gst-kaps> omnydevi:i tried mounting
[16:01] <gst-kaps> its not getting mounted
[16:01] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: waive your magic wand, and rescue the data, i'ev told you.. if there's no file system, its very unlikely, there's any data
[16:01] <r|z0n> DJones, thanks for the chat about this laptop. Hope I didn't aggravate you any.. its not every day you run into someone that has the same hardware as you and can give you experience about it.
[16:01] <gst-kaps> and I am unable to see any partition name
[16:01] <IndyGunFreak> lol..
[16:02] <omnydevi> Unknown - thanks for the input. Since you seem to know more, why not try telling kaps what to do :p
[16:02] <IndyGunFreak> you don't have a partition, its unallocated space
[16:02] <DJones> r|z0n: No probs, hope you get the niggles sorted anyway
[16:02] <AdvoWork> anyone here know much about editing firefox (about:config) and printers? ie can a printer overwrite the settings as i keep changing them and they change back....
[16:02] <r|z0n> DJones, I am quite impressed with the "features" of this thing. It's not every day that you find a laptop that has serial port, floppy drive, and DVD rom in it.
[16:03] <Temujin_> i wish i had a job so i could buy a decent laptop with intel graphics
[16:03] <daredevilthere> hmm
[16:03] <ac3_0f_spad3s> what's the difference between binary and source?
[16:03] <r|z0n> I use the serial port a lot for working with things like managed switches and routers, and with the Toshiba laptop I got, I had to use a USB converter. So I'd say that even after I buy a NEW laptop (something that is vista capable) I'll still hold onto this one as long as it continues to work just because of the extra (older) features it offers.
[16:03] <omnydevi> my vote is, xp broke it, and reinstalling ubuntu is necessary. sounds like more than a mbr issue
[16:03] <kitche> ac3_0f_spad3s: source you compile to get the binary :)
[16:04] <daredevilthere> Hey guys how can i install the software from source on my ubuntu
[16:04] <daredevilthere> ?
[16:04] <sztomi> hi. I'm trying to establish an ssh connection between two ubuntu boxes. The problem is that whenever I set a static ip address on the server, it gets reset after a few seconds. I managed to connect once, but a few minutes later, the connection was frozen, and when I checked, the static IP was reset on the server. Can you help me?
[16:04] <gst-kaps> omnydevi: IndyGunFreak: ok, i though there maybe someone known to it, anyways also how can I recover data from a ddrecued image
[16:04] <ac3_0f_spad3s> k kitche thanks
[16:04] <captspify> binary are the executables and ready to go versions, source is the "if you want to see/edit the code" version
[16:04] <r|z0n> I wonder if they make 512 MB chips that will work in the 8100. I bet this thing would run like a champ if it had a gig of ram in it.
[16:04] <omnydevi> kaps - google rescuecd and download that.
[16:04] <Temujin_> daredevilthere: what software are you trying to install?
[16:04] <omnydevi> then burn the iso, i would apt-get install k3b as well
[16:04] <Jeruvy> daredevilthere: you need to setup your box for building, see build-essential, and possibly any other tools.
[16:04] <daredevilthere> any software
[16:05] <Unknownuser56> gst,reinstall grub ( can't see why XP would corrupt another installation unless ofcourse you chose to install on the same partition .. )
[16:05] <Unknownuser56> !grub
[16:05] <strangeseraph> hii
[16:05] <daredevilthere> so u mean i only need build essentials to intall the software from source
[16:05] <strangeseraph> :)
[16:05] <r|z0n> not to say that it doesn't run fine now with 512 MB (256x2) but sometimes I find this thing slowing down when I have several Mozilla windows open, a few terminal windows and a few Gedit windows (do PHP programming)
[16:05] <omnydevi> ubottu - ftw!
[16:05] <Jeruvy> daredevilthere: no, thats just the essentials.  The rest is dependant on how you build
[16:05] <strangeseraph> question: I want to burn Ubuntu 8.10 to discs, but I don't have any blank CDs and its too cold to go out to the store today. Can I use a blank DVD?
[16:05] <Temujin_> daredevilthere: it depends on what software you're installing
[16:06] <Unknownuser56> daredevilthere,yes that installs the compilers/headers so you can compile code
[16:06] <daredevilthere> ahan
[16:06] <daredevilthere> I c
[16:06] <sztomi> strangeseraph: yes, you can
[16:06] <strangeseraph> okay :)
[16:06] <strangeseraph> do I use the regular iso image or is there a DVD specific image to use?
[16:06] <daredevilthere> Are debs pakages are better to install or from source?
[16:07] <SlimeyPete> use debs, if possible
[16:07] <daredevilthere> then wht are debs pakages are they binary files?
[16:07] <Temujin_> Always .debs if possible
[16:07] <SlimeyPete> they're binary files, yes.
[16:07] <sztomi> strangeseraph: maybe some very old bioses or drives won't support it though, but I've never seen such case.
[16:07] <SlimeyPete> well, they're packages which include binaries amongst other things
[16:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !ohmy > omnydevi
[16:07] <daredevilthere> Well anyone tell me wht is dmesg? and wht this command do and how can we use it
[16:08] <KenBW22> what happened to that app that used to be in System > Administration > Hardware Devices?
[16:08] <sztomi> I'm trying to establish an ssh connection between two ubuntu boxes. The problem is that whenever I set a static ip address on the server, it gets reset after a few seconds. I managed to connect once, but a few minutes later, the connection was frozen, and when I checked, the static IP was reset on the server. Can you help me?
[16:08] <strangeseraph> okay, so I have the torrent of 8.10 downloading. What is a sumcheck, do I need it since this is a torrent? Or should I check it just in case?
[16:08] <Temujin_> daredevilthere: what are you trying to do?
[16:08] <r|z0n> DJones, Again thanks for the chat. I'm going to get off here and see if I can fix a few bugs in this thing. I'll be back later.
[16:08] <jkp> hey all: can anyone recommend an online backup service on the lines of Mozy / Backblaze / Carbonite that supports linux?
[16:08] <testuser> Has anyone had any experience with SSH?  My ssh has stopped working -- I keep getting "Permission denied (publickey,password)" errors...
[16:08] <daredevilthere> i am just tryig to learn ubuntu and learning commands
[16:08] <daredevilthere> i mean to get hold on my system
[16:08] <strangeseraph> I currently have Wubi on this laptop, but I want to use JUST Linux and have Vista or XP on my old laptop.
[16:09] <Gnea> !terminal | daredevilthere
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !info abs-guide
[16:09] <captspify> to testuser- do you have physical access to the server?
[16:09] <sztomi> strangeseraph: there should be no problems, but it's a good practice to check the files before burning, and check the disc after it was booted up.
[16:09] <strangeseraph> :)
[16:09] <Gnea> sztomi: you should ask in #ubuntu-server
[16:10] <sztomi> thx
[16:10] <RawHeartless> Hi
[16:10] <^Mahesa^> hay
[16:10] <KenBW22> what happened to that app that used to be in System > Administration > Hardware Devices - it was like Windows' Device Manager
[16:10] <testuser> to captspify: THANK YOU!  I can't even "ssh 127.0.0.1"...
[16:10] <captspify> to testuser- have you tried re-installing ssh?
[16:10] <testuser> (Yes, I have access to the server, it is the localhost...)
[16:10] <RawHeartless> I was wondering, why sometimes Firefox is over all the bars and everything.  Even the buttons minimize, maximize and close are gone... it's really annoying!
[16:11] <testuser> Yes, I tried "sudo apt-get remove openssh-server" and then "sudo apt-get install openssh-server"... No joy. :-(
[16:11] <Gnea> RawHeartless: got a screenshot?
[16:11] <omnydevi> Raw - you have compiz?
[16:11] <RawHeartless> Gnea sure, where can I upload it?
[16:11] <IndyGunFreak> RawHeartless: never had that prob... almost sounds like a theme issue
[16:11] <KenBW22> testuser: try sudo apt-get remove --purge openssh-server
[16:11] <captspify> to tesuser- are you trying to ssh into the smae machine your using?
[16:11] <Gnea> RawHeartless: imageshack.us
[16:12] <gst-kaps> anyone having knowledge on testdisk ?
[16:12] <testuser> KenBW22:  will try that; BRB...
[16:12] <omnydevi> i used to have that issue, but it was compiz, had to reload it to get them back
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !compile > meho_
[16:12] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: i take it you didn't backup prior to doing this?
[16:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !info build-essential > meho_
[16:13] <gst-kaps>  IndyGunFreak:yeah I didnt backeup my data
[16:13] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: this is probably gonna be a good lesson.. hope nothing important was there
[16:13] <gst-kaps>  IndyGunFreak:there was, thats why i am trying hard to recover
[16:13] <gst-kaps>  IndyGunFreak:i agree i am sorry
[16:14] <gst-kaps>  IndyGunFreak:testdisk says there is a linux partition
[16:14] <omnydevi> gst - yeah. rescuecd is your best bet...but prolly will have negative results. unless you want to turn the hdd to a company that recovers data for like 7 grand..yer kinda screwed
[16:14] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: what file system does it say it is?
[16:15] <testuser> KenBW22, captspify:  I just tried "sudo apt-get remove --purge openssh-server", followed by "sudo apt-get install openssh-server", then "ssh 127.0Permission denied (publickey,password)."  :-(.0.1", and again,  "
[16:15] <IndyGunFreak> omnydevi: thats just what i was about to say, unless you're gonna pay some heavy cheese for data recovery, its lsot.
[16:15] <RawHeartless> Gnea here it is http://img519.imageshack.us/my.php?image=firefoxem9.jpg
[16:15] <captspify> testuser - so your trying to ssh into the box your already on? can I ask why?
[16:15] <gst-kaps>  IndyGunFreak:it says filesystem seems to be damaged
[16:15] <Gnea> Is anyone else having a problem with burning CDs/DVDs in intrepid? I keep getting errors when I insert a blank disk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/100408/  and it worked fine in 8.04
[16:15] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: well...
[16:16] <IndyGunFreak> Gnea: no probs here, just burned 3-4 yesteday actually
[16:16] <strangeseraph> this is gonna be fun. I used Hoary Hedgehog for a year before getting an XP laptop, and I've been spoiled a bit. Getting back into Linux full time will be great.
[16:16] <omnydevi> Gnea - negative. i use k3b
[16:16] <Gnea> RawHeartless: try pressing F11 once or twice
[16:16] <RawHeartless> I did
[16:16] <RawHeartless> twice worked
[16:17] <omnydevi> gst - you could try the grub reinstall. that *might* do it. that the bot sent links to. then rescuecd....thats your best bet
[16:17] <testuser> captspify:  Yes, I am trying to test the ssh server; trying to eliminate any possible areas for confusion.  SSHing into another server is not working, either...  :-(
[16:17] <RawHeartless> thanks! Gnea
[16:17] <Gnea> omnydevi: I use k3b too, but this error persists. i've tried all_generic_ide=1 and it still doesn't work
[16:17] <Gnea> RawHeartless: cheers
[16:17] <omnydevi> those two options are your best bets.
[16:17] <Dotsch> I've made a Ubunutu Live CD specialiced for the BOINC usage. Is it posible to put such a CD on the ubuntu servers that other users could download them ?
[16:18] <Gnea> IndyGunFreak: i used to not have this problem at all before I threw intrepid on here... this is the only problem that I've had with it
[16:18] <omnydevi> Gnea - sorry, i use sata dvd-rw's. never had an issue, know little of ide :(
[16:19] <gst-kaps> omnydevi:for reinstalling grub i need to reinstall the whole ubuntu ?
[16:19] <ASULutzy> Dotsch: I would think that you'd have better luck getting BOINC servers to host that, wouldn't you? Worse comes to worse just start a torrent up, it'll spread if people hear about it I'm sure
[16:19] <Gnea> omnydevi: well, it's a USB connection... doesn't matter what's on the other end, even the internal IDE is doing the same thing
[16:19] <captspify> testuser - so this happens with any other ssh server? let me test on my box to see if ssh works on the local machine, brb
[16:19] <testuser> captspify:  thank you   :-)
[16:20] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: no, you can reinstall grub from the live cd
[16:20] <IndyGunFreak> but i dn't think grub is your issue.. is windows booting ok?
[16:20] <gst-kaps> IndyGunFreak: yes
[16:20] <IndyGunFreak> !grub | gst-kaps you can try won't hurt anything i guess... follow the appropriate instructions
[16:20] <Dotsch> ASUlutzy : thx, torrent would be a good idea...
[16:20] <captspify> testuser - ok, that worked, give me a sec and I'll give you an address to test
[16:20] <IndyGunFreak> try running a restore grub
[16:21] <omnydevi> gst - i dont think it is the issue either. i am just trying to think what i would do in the same situation before giving up completely
[16:21] <testuser> captspify:  thank you again, I really appreciate your help!  :-)
[16:21] <IndyGunFreak> gst-kaps: if there was still a filesystem there, then reinstalling grub would be a good solution
[16:21] <omnydevi> gst - it might work, and thats enough for me. seen stranger things happen, heh
[16:21] <IndyGunFreak> but your essentially asking grub, to find something that isn't there.
[16:22] <omnydevi> gst - you could download super grub
[16:22] <gst-kaps> omnydevi:whats that ?
[16:22] <omnydevi> gst - a uber grub loader. it has a ton of features normal grub doesn't, its saved me once, but there was a fs to find, heh
[16:22] <IndyGunFreak> omnydevi: if there's a ubuntu/linux partition on the drive, he can just reinstall grub from an ubuntu cd..no real need for super grub
[16:23] <omnydevi> roger
[16:23] <captspify> testuser - do you have an address I can email you login info? don't feel safe making it public by posting on here |;)
[16:24] <strangeseraph> okay good, the sums are the same, so I can burn the CD. :)
[16:24] <gst-kaps> i will try
[16:24] <strangeseraph> oop, DVD ;)
[16:24] <b0b0> hi... like to ask... which one is important to see? Beacons? Data? PWR?
[16:25] <daredevilthere> Hey all
[16:25] <daredevilthere> Hey which player is better mplayer or totem
[16:25] <omnydevi> dared - up to the user. most will say mplayer though.
[16:26] <testuser> captspify:  THANK YOU AGAIN!  While waiting, I noticed that there is both an ssh_config and an sshd_config in /etc/ssh, and that the ssh_config bizarrely had "PasswordAuthentication no" instead of "PasswordAuthentication yes"; when I changed this to "yes" and restarted the sshd, lo-an-behold, I could ssh into both my localhost and the remote machine...  YAY!
[16:26] <cwillu> daredevilthere, I prefer totem myself, can't be bothered to learn mplayer
[16:26] <cwillu> that, and it's already installed :p
[16:26] <captspify> testuser- wow, nice
[16:26] <daredevilthere> Hmm totem slider is not good
[16:26] <testuser> captspify: thank you for offering to email a remote host to test my ssh on, I won't be needing that email after all.  Thank you again, captspify!
[16:27] <omnydevi> dared - you can always download whatever you want and play with it, if you don't like it, just delete it and try another ;)
[16:27] <cwillu> testuser, might consider setting up an ssh key, and using that instead of password auth
[16:27] <captspify> testuser- not a problem, glad I could help anyway. hope it all works well!
[16:27] <cwillu> testuser, simple matter of running ssh-keygen, and copying the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the target
[16:27] <daredevilthere> how can i manage tasks from terminal?
[16:28] <floatboat> anyone here use fbpanel? do you know how i can edit the 'systemmenu' on the panel?
[16:28] <daredevilthere> i want to kill non responsivse tasks n c which r running
[16:28] <cwillu> daredevilthere, kill/killall/"ps aux|grep <name>"/top
[16:28] <ikonia> daredevilthere: please try not to use text speak, makes it easier to read
[16:29] <testuser> Thanks to all the helpers on #ubuntu.  Have a nice day!  :-)
[16:29] <strangeseraph> then again, Wubi does work. I could always just increase my disk space use with Wubi and keep Vista on this machine. So many decisions to make.
[16:30] <strangeseraph> the only thing keeping me from fully running Linux is my Zune. :o
[16:30] <shiman> i need help on networking
[16:30] <shiman> how to set my ubuntu to join windows network?
[16:30] <shiman> home network (join workgroup)
[16:30] <ikonia> shiman: as in be on the same network or join a domain
[16:30] <daredevilthere> use samba
[16:30] <shiman> already installed samba
[16:30] <AdvoWork> does anyone know of any plugins or anything for being able to file > print to pdf in firefox, so that it auto saves it as a .pdf(you can just name it 123 and it will add .pdf) ?
[16:30] <shiman> configured
[16:31] <ikonia> shiman: be part of the work group is fine, just set the workgroup name in the samba config file
[16:31] <shiman> but still cant find workgroup
[16:31] <ikonia> shiman: thats all it is, really a broadcast name
[16:31] <jinja-sheep> Is it even possible to downgrade?
[16:31] <jinja-sheep> !downgrade
[16:31] <shiman> do i need to reboot ?
[16:31] <ikonia> shiman: there is a line that says workgroup =
[16:31] <daredevilthere> Could anyone explain wht this means ﻿kill/killall/"ps aux|grep <name>"/top
[16:31] <colton_> what's the ubuntu equivalent of ctrl-alt-delete?
[16:31] <strangeseraph> I should probably get a different MP3 player. Sigh sigh. ^.^
[16:31] <cwillu> daredevilthere, split on the /
[16:31] <ikonia> colton_: what do you actually want to do ?
[16:31] <usr13> AdvoWork: I don't think so
[16:31] <cwillu> daredevilthere, different commands, type man <command> to read about each
[16:32] <daredevilthere> cwillu alrite
[16:32] <colton_> If I have a haywire application and I need to kill it, how can I do that?
[16:32] <shiman> changed from workgroup = WORKGROUP to my home network
[16:32] <Temujin_> jinja-sheep: why are you trying to downgrade?
[16:32] <ikonia> colton_: use the kill command
[16:32] <cwillu> shiman, "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" as well?
[16:32] <usr13> AdvoWork: Does any other browser have such a feature?
[16:32] <ikonia> shiman: ok, well done, so what's the problem ?
[16:32] <napster> is there any application similar to Mail Bomber?
[16:32] <cwillu> to pick up the new setting
[16:32] <colton_> ok, but how to I know what to type after kill?
[16:32] <shiman> cwillu: yes did that also. restarted the samba.. nothing happens
[16:32] <jinja-sheep> Temujin_:  There are no Ubuntu UMPC 8.04 LTS, only 8.10.
[16:32] <AdvoWork> usr13,  not that I know of
[16:32] <colton_> kill . . . what?
[16:33] <daredevilthere> How to check which services are running on ubuntu?
[16:33] <colton_> kill yeah.
[16:33] <ikonia> shiman: what are you expecting to happen ?
[16:33] <shiman> ikonia: i cant join workgroup
[16:33] <strangeseraph> music is central to my life right now. ^^
[16:33] <cwillu> colton_, use killall <process name> if you know there's only one running, etc
[16:33] <omnydevi> dared - system - administration - system monitor
[16:33] <ikonia> shiman: define join a workgroup, what are you expecting to see that your not seeing ?
[16:33] <cwillu> killall takes names, while kill takes a process id
[16:33] <shiman> okay. just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10
[16:33] <strangeseraph> but then again, I only have no more than 4GB of music, I could use the Sansa until I get a 8GB+ player
[16:33] <nickrud> daredevilthere,  sudo netstat -tlnp
[16:33] <colton_> how do I know the process name?
[16:33] <daredevilthere> omnydevi no i am asking how to do that frm terminal
[16:34] <shiman> ikonia: previously i can browse thru network.. and get files from other pcs that are using windows
[16:34] <Slart> AdvoWork: I think there is a pdf printer you can install.. it works like a normal printer but outputs pdf's.. would that work for you?
[16:34] <ikonia> shiman: you need to have shares defined for that
[16:34] <cwillu> colton_, the name of the command you ran to start it, or look it up in top
[16:34] <usr13> AdvoWork: I may be wrong
[16:34] <strangeseraph> what mp3 players does everybody use? And please, don't say an iPod if you use one. D:
[16:34] <usr13> AdvoWork: I think I just found such a plugin
[16:35] <FassAss> what would be the best way to switch eth0 to gigabit?
[16:35] <omnydevi> strange - exaile
[16:35] <cwillu> strangeseraph, canola on my n800
[16:35] <Gnea> strangeseraph: LG
[16:35] <cwillu> strangeseraph, banshee on the computer itself
[16:35] <Jeruvy> !poll | strangeseraph
[16:35] <shiman> ikonia: previously when i was on ubuntu 8.04 it was kinda easy for me to join my workgroup.
[16:35] <omnydevi> shiman - go to places - connect to server, and select a windows share
[16:35] <usr13> AdvoWork: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5971
[16:35] <strangeseraph> not talking about the application, I'm talking about the device. :P
[16:35] <strangeseraph> for the app I'd use Songbird probably. ^__^
[16:36] <nuno_nunes> Hi pp
[16:36] <shiman> omnydevi: did that as well.. still cant. let me try it again
[16:36] <nuno_nunes> ppl
[16:36] <Jeruvy> strangeseraph: then you're really OT. :P
[16:36] <strangeseraph> o.o?
[16:36] <Gnea> !ot
[16:36] <daredevilthere> Hey i used sudo net usershare to add my /media/Drives they are added but whn i open smb://localhost i dont see anything
[16:36] <strangeseraph> oh. okay. I'll find a linux channel instead
[16:36] <Temujin_> winamp and foobar2000 run through WINE the last time I checked
[16:37] <omnydevi> shiman - that is the best way, i tried at home and couldnt get it to connect to save my life. then i went back and checked the xp box and my wife had taken out the ethernet cord to download torrents faster. make sure all checks balance out :)
[16:37] <Slart> !info cups-pdf | AdvoWork
[16:37] <Temujin_> strangeseraph: i have a sansa clip that works very well
[16:37] <AdvoWork> Slart, what about ti?
[16:38] <daredevilthere> !info ss
[16:38] <daredevilthere> !info ssh
[16:38] <FassAss> Is there a way to switch eth0 to gigabit? hardware should support it
[16:38] <Slart> AdvoWork: a virtual printer that outputs pdf files..
[16:38] <nickrud> !msgthebot > daredevilthere  (more fun this way)
[16:38] <Chousuke> FassAss: both endpoints?
[16:39] <FassAss> yes switch and card
[16:39] <archman> is there a channel for ubuntu games? support...
[16:39] <Chousuke> FassAss: it should get autonegotiated if it's supported.
[16:39] <archman> win games on ubuntu
[16:39] <FassAss> hmm..
[16:39] <Jeruvy> FassAss: agree with Chousuke on that one.
[16:39] <meho_> i have gotten info that i need to install new version of alsa
[16:40] <Chousuke> FassAss: though it's possible to change it manually too if it for some reason fails to automatically set itself up. IIRC with ifconfig
[16:40] <meho_> and i have no clue how to do it even if the code is slapped on my face
[16:40] <homy> HI! I created bootable usb-drive using Create usb startup disk in an intrepid live cd. (32bit). But it doesn not work, my computer says "no bootable device found" when I select "removable" as the boot device.
[16:40] <strangeseraph> might wait until I actually have a new mp3 player to put the full install of ubuntu on. Wubi is fine for now.
[16:40] <shiman> guys, previously i just right click on the network icon on the taskbar and add my workgroup name then apply. but after i've upgraded to 8.10 im kinda lost
[16:40] <Chousuke> FassAss: are you sure all the ports in the switch are gigabit ports? :)
[16:40] <jinja-sheep> homy:  That's for booting up.... at BIOS.... not Windows.
[16:41] <FassAss> Pretty sure. Let me get the driver info and such brb
[16:41] <shiman> cwillu: previously i just right click on the network icon on the taskbar and add my workgroup name then apply. but after i've upgraded to 8.10 im kinda lost
[16:41] <jinja-sheep> homy:  Kill the power switch on Vista.  Boot up and press <menu boot> button.  Select USB.
[16:41] <homy> jinja-sheep: yes. It says "Press F9 to select first boot device after POST", then I pressed F9 and got a menu with removable, cd and hard disk.
[16:41] <homy> jinja-sheep: i did select that in the bios.
[16:42] <homy> I also tried different usb ports in the computer.
[16:42] <daredevilthere> ﻿/msg ubottu !search factoid
[16:42] <omnydevi> arcman - what games?
[16:42] <shiman> do i need to reboot my pc to get into the network workgroup?
[16:42] <jinja-sheep> homy:  That's strange.  It should be.  I know because I did that few hours ago.
[16:43] <daredevilthere> what are iptables?
[16:43] <Barridus> homy, remake the usb drive but delete (and possibly recreate) the fat16 partition
[16:43] <Barridus> in gparted
[16:43] <Barridus> then run the usb creation app
[16:43] <omnydevi> shiman -shouldnt. is it a domain or workgroup computer?
[16:43] <daredevilthere> Hey buddies . can video be played in terminal ?
[16:43] <shiman> nope. not a domain. just workgroup
[16:43] <homy> Barridus: thats weird: gparted tells me its a fat32 partition but you spoke of a fat16 file system?
[16:43] <jinja-sheep> daredevilthere:  Yes.
[16:44] <omnydevi> shiman - does windows have a firewall or somesuch that might be blocking you?
[16:44] <Slart> daredevilthere: I think there are some framebuffer players
[16:44] <daredevilthere> jinja-sheep How
[16:44] <daredevilthere> framebuffers players
[16:44] <Gnea> !iptables | daredevilthere
[16:44] <Slart> daredevilthere: or you could use vlc's ascii output module =)
[16:44] <shiman> omnydevi: i dont think so. because previously i can browse through workgroup.
[16:44] <daredevilthere> can i play video in tty
[16:44] <daredevilthere> ?
[16:44] <newair> I have Firefox 3.0.5 and I can't use Java sites.  Any comments?
[16:45] <Seveas> newair, use non-java sites instead ;)
[16:45] <omnydevi> shiman - do you have the same ip as before?
[16:45] <Temujin_> newair: do you have a java plugin?
[16:45] <Barridus> homy now that you mention it, i'm not sure if i used 16 or 32.  feel free to experiment, but there is a bug that prevents the drive from being made properly if you don't use gparted
[16:45] <Seveas> newair, or install the sun-java6-plugin package
[16:45] <shiman> omnydevi: DHCP
[16:45] <jinja-sheep> !info aaxine | daredevilthere
[16:46] <shiman> omnydevi: address given by router
[16:46] <slak> hey anyone know how to change pAM to auth against ldap
[16:46] <homy> Barridus: could you check? My drive came preformatted with fat32 when I bought it. (See output of fdisk -l at http://paste.ubuntu.com/100419/).
[16:46] <omnydevi> shiman - i could be a firewall then if you are 100% sure the workgroup, share, and username/password and connections are how they are supposed to be.
[16:46] <Temujin_> newair: are you on 64-bit
[16:46] <Slart> !info libxine1-console
[16:46] <omnydevi> shiman - does it give you an error message when you try to connect?
[16:46] <newair> I tried to install the sun-java6-plugin and no response
[16:46] <shiman> omnydevi: ic..
[16:47] <newair> 32bit
[16:47] <Slart> !info xine-console | daredevilthere
[16:47] <omnydevi> shiman - any error message details could be helpful :)
[16:47] <AdvoWork> Slart, yeah ive seen it
[16:47] <homy> Barridus: where would that bug be? (Only 2 bugs in launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/usb-creator/+bugs?search=Search&field.status=New&field.status=Incomplete&field.status=Confirmed&field.status=Triaged&field.status=In+Progress&field.status=Fix+Committed&field.status=Fix+Released&field.status=Invalid&field.status=Won%27t+Fix&field.omit_dupes.used=)
[16:47] <FassAss> Chousuke > you were right. I thought the onboard nic Realtek RTL8201BL was 1gig but its only 100. dumb question. Thanks for encouraging me to actaully open the case and find out wich MB I had used to peice that pc together with.

[16:47] <MTecknology> suggestions for anything better than ampache?
[16:47] <shiman> omnydevi: nope. i tried to browse using places -> network ->windows network -> my workgroup
[16:47] <AdvoWork> but u cant name the files
[16:48] <shiman> omnydevi: i can see my workgroup name. but once i clicked on the icon.. there's nothing inside
[16:48] <omnydevi> shiman - did you go to places, connect to server, and setup the share using Windows Share?
[16:48] <cwillu> MTecknology, define better
[16:48] <daredevilthere> thanks jinja-sheep
[16:48] <cwillu> (apache I presume)
[16:48] <Chousuke> FassAss: you're welcome. :)
[16:48] <omnydevi> shiman - until you establish you have rights to access the share, you won't be able to see anything inside of it
[16:49] <Barridus> homy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[16:49] <shiman> omnydevi: what shud i do next?
[16:49] <Barridus> skip down to where it says "missing operating system"
[16:49] <unop> shiman, tried restarting samba ?
[16:49] <omnydevi> shiman - that is established in Places - Connect to Server in the top right corner of your screen. Click Places, then you should see Connect to Server in the menu
[16:49] <Barridus> i had that issue, and that was indeed the workaround
[16:49] <MTecknology> cwillu: ampache lets uses apache - but it's a way to stream music from a server - http://ampache.org/
[16:49] <shiman> unop: tried few times. same result
[16:49] <cwillu> ah, k

[16:50] <Bagualas> I made a downgrade of the java, how may I set the PATH of system and new path for java?
[16:50] <kitche> newair: it should but on ubuntu it doesn't you need to install the -plugin
[16:50] <jinja-sheep> Bagualas :: in your .bashrc, I believe.
[16:51] <homy> Barridus: uhm... which version of SYSLINUX does the usb-creator included by default in intrepid use?
[16:51] <Wildcat_> anyone know if there is a repositotry i can add to upgrade my alsa to the 1.0.18a version through synaptic?
[16:51] <newair> kitche, that kind of bites

[16:55] <quietdev> Hi, thanks ahead of time for this one, after plugging in an external Samsung 17" CRT into the Thinkpad Z60T with Ubuntu 8.10 I was offered to allow Ubuntu to automagically edit something called the "virtual display" something something. I didn't think much of it, and it did seem to enable the extension of the display into the Samsung, however, now I am going back to single display and I have...
[16:55] <quietdev> ...noticed that #1 desktop effects "Extras was turned off and #2 I could not turn it back on. It said, "Desktop effects could not be enabled". Any help would be very much appreciated. I am studying http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1019668 to start....

[17:00] <Gnea> Katangawise: please stop that.
[17:00] <shiman> omnydevi:  is it possible to set my network card eth0 to use my workgroup name?
[17:00] <jim_p> Katangawise, yes, but it is not in my pc so i have to give instructions to the owner
[17:00] <Zarvox_> hi
[17:00] <omnydevi> shiman - not sure. I just use the way we are going through now at home. I haven't really messed with my eth0 too much. I can test tonight and get back later on it though
[17:01] <guntbert> Katangawise: let us have a look: pastebin the output of sudo lspci -v
[17:01] <jim_p> Katangawise, what wireless card are you on?
[17:01] <omnydevi> shiman - i think you can, but that might require samba at that point
[17:01] <Zarvox_> since intrepppid myy keyboard is more sensitive
[17:01] <daredevilthere> Ubuntu is great. I love it :)
[17:01] <Katangawise> guntbert, wrere
[17:01] <shiman> omnydevi: on 8.04 i can just set the eth0 to use the workgroup name and voila! all done. i can browse the workgroup network
[17:01] <Katangawise> guntbert, were can i post output?
[17:02] <Zarvox_> aka typing is too faaast
[17:02] <shiman> omnydevi: once ive upgraded to 8.10 there is no option for me to set the eth0 to use the workgroup
[17:02] <superdug> I'm trying to install 8.10, besides there being elements all over the screen ... when in terminal I type ubituity --debug --pdb --desktop %k gtk_ui ... it sits there for a moment then exits with no message
[17:02] <omnydevi> shiman - yeah. everytime i just enter the server name, folder name, username and password and it lets me in. i haven't looked for a faster way to do it yet.
[17:02] <homy> Zarvox_: open System->Preferences->Keyboard and ajust the sliders to suit yourself.
[17:03] <jcfp> jim_p: wired network cards usually just work, and these realtek onces are very common too.
[17:03] <homy> Barridus: ok, usb-creator is finished now, I'll have to reboot to try it out though :)
[17:03] <Katangawise> jim_p, Thats a problem.. I dont know now.. I cant get output about model og my wireless card..:(
[17:03] <guntbert> !pastebin | Katangawise
[17:03] <shiman> omnydevi: hmm ic. okay. i'll try to troubleshoot first. will get back to u
[17:03] <shiman> omnydevi: thanks for ur time
[17:03] <jim_p> jcfp, is there a chipset-to-correct-module chart?
[17:03] <omnydevi> shiman - hope i was of help!
[17:03] <Zarvox_> homy: tx but nothing append
[17:04] <AngryElf> when I try connecting to a vpn(pppt) with the network manager,it  tells me that the connection failed -- nothing more detailed than that any way to figure out what's wrong with it?
[17:04] <jcfp> Katangawise: in lspci a wireless network card will show as just another 'ethernet controller' because that's exactly what it is.
[17:04] <jim_p> Katangawise, lspci | grep wireless
[17:04] <jim_p> Katangawise, lspci | grep Wireless
[17:04] <[Spooky]> Is there any help command to ubottu?

[17:07] <asortic> hi
[17:07] <jcfp> jim_p: get the id from lspci -n, then google. 'modinfo' command is useful too, module for your card is probably "8139too"
[17:07] <jim_p> jcfp, thanks
[17:08] <homy> Barridus: my bios still says "No bootable Device found" :) So I still can't boot from the usb thumb drive.
[17:08] <BiaGG> #ubuntu-hu
[17:08] <homy> I tried deleting its partition and creating a new fat32 partition with gparted and re-running usb-creator, but it didn't work (ie. I can't boot from it).
[17:09] <LinuxGhost> Someone HELP ME, ive bought a PC TV Pendrive Tv Tuner, it works on windows on ubuntu i cant watch, ive tried TV Time even VLC bUT THE settings arae so difficult
[17:09] <dr_willis> LinuxGhost,  you sure it even has ANY linux support at all?
[17:09] <dr_willis> A lot of tv tuners are just not supported..
[17:10] <LinuxGhost> it has specifications for windows only
[17:10] <billybigrigger> hi all, whats the best way to get flash working in firefox? should i install the sun-java6-jre package or is there a big howto around on how to get it working? im on 8.10 x64
[17:11] <homy> LinuxGhost: is it a dvb-t tuner? Does it connect via usb?
[17:11] <LinuxGhost> but is it impossible to watch on ubuntu?
[17:11] <dr_willis> billybigrigger,  i just install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package and it installs flash and java..  ive not had to 'tweak/work/mess' with those in ages.
[17:11] <aba-> billybigrigger: what's java have to do with flash?.. lol
[17:11] <billybigrigger> dr_willis: thanks
[17:11] <Gnea> LinuxGhost: what does dmesg have to say about it?
[17:11] <csana> can vmware be installe don ubuntu?
[17:11] <LinuxGhost> it is like usb,
[17:11] <dr_willis> LinuxGhost,  You would have to check for your specific tuner and see if it has linux support. Google/forums/hardware support list
[17:11] <dr_willis> !hardware
[17:11] <Gnea> csana: yes.
[17:11] <dr_willis> !cmware
[17:11] <dr_willis> !Vmware
[17:12] <billybigrigger> aba-: haha, just read my question, i didn't mean to ask about flash in firefox
[17:12] <throlkena> hi guys i need some help with running the c compiler in the ubuntu terminal.
[17:12] <billybigrigger> my bad
[17:12] <LinuxGhost> when i connect it no signal is given even when i do the command lsusb i cant see it
[17:12] <homy> !tv | LinuxGhost
[17:12]  * billybigrigger is a little stuffed up and sick today
[17:12] <aba-> oh
[17:12] <dr_willis> LinuxGhost,  If its supported.. it should work.. if its not.. then it wont.  Its possible it may get support  in the future. Its hard to tell  - it depends on the exact tuner/card/thing.
[17:12] <homy> Barridus: any other ideas to get me booting from usb drive?
[17:12] <throlkena> can we use stdio.h in ubuntu's terminal ? (i'm new to this)
[17:12] <throlkena> while using c?
[17:12] <jinja-sheep> homy:  How about disc?
[17:13] <dr_willis> homy,  tryed that unetbootin tool? I use it to make bootable Usb media from ubuntu iso images
[17:13] <Gnea> !gcc | throlkena
[17:13] <homy> dr_willis: I used the usb-creator installed in intrepid by default.
[17:13] <homy> jinja-sheep: yeah, I can boot fine from a cd rom but, i want to have a usb thumb drive on which I can also save settings and stuff like that.
[17:14] <alexis12> Is the ubuntu cd you can request from the website a live cd?
[17:14] <dr_willis> homy,  ive had mixxed results with that tool - a lot seems to depend on if ive made my usb stick bootable befor.  Same with Unetbootin,  You may want to try Unetbootin. it cant hurt. :)  also it seems some usb media are more pboelmatic then others
[17:14] <Gnea> !vmware > csana
[17:15] <daxelrod> alexis12: Yes, it is a livecd.
[17:15] <homy> dr_willis: I made put an iso on it with usb-creator before, and that worked. Then I wiped it a time ago and now I'm trying again...
[17:15] <alexis12> daxelrod: thank you, im new here :D
[17:15] <jinja-sheep> homy | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[17:15] <unop> alexis12, yes, they used to send out an install cd too some years ago - don't know if they still do that
[17:15] <LinuxGhost> but itt is supposed to have some tricks or shortcut to watch tv with any tv tuner like some commands i run to use any nokia phone to dial-up under ubuntu
[17:16] <daxelrod> alexis12: It will almost certainly be faster to download it than to wait for them to ship you the CD however
[17:16] <homy> jinja-sheep: yes. I used method 0. (but in intrepidm usb-creator is included by default and I didn't have to install it)
[17:16] <LinuxGhost> it is supposed to have some commands to watch TV on ubuntu with any card/usb
[17:16] <Gnea> csana: have you tried ndiswrapper?
[17:17] <csana> Gnea:yesw
[17:17] <csana> *yes
[17:17] <jinja-sheep> homy:  What Ubuntu version?
[17:17] <Gnea> csana: okay. you'll need to find a way to get vmware to that system then. usb?

[17:17] <csana> Gnea:yah i have usb
[17:17] <daxelrod> alexis12: Any of the Desktop cds not labeled alternative are livecds
[17:17] <alexis12> daxelrod: Yep, i heard about 6 weeks, but, i have exams in the next week and if i get it now, i will be distracted..I've never done anything like this before..
[17:18] <Gnea> csana: like, a thumbdrive?

[17:21] <unavailable> homy unetbootin
[17:22] <unavailable> !unetbootin
[17:22] <homy> unavailable: i used usb-creator which is included by default in ubuntu 8.10
[17:22] <homy> and usb-creator worked before!
[17:22] <homy> with exactly the same drive
[17:22] <unavailable> unetbootin works inside windows.  (just giving an alternative)
[17:22] <jinja-sheep> homy:  It work... but it is probable that you wear the usb drive out already.  See if you can open inside... save files on it... etc.
[17:22] <levene__> I'm using hardy, and I cannot use virtualbox since the vm driver is not installed. it was working before christmas; I think the kernel has been updated since then.,
[17:22] <passingmannar> can ubuntu be installed in usb and run from any pc ?
[17:22] <levene__> what do I do?
[17:22] <unavailable> yes
[17:22] <unavailable> passingmannar: yes
[17:23] <homy> jinja-sheep: yes, otherwise usb-creator couldn't save files on it (and I see that there now are fles on the drive)
[17:23] <levene__> the virtualbox-ose-modules-generic package is installed (this is what the error dialog message suggests)
[17:23] <sztomi> unetbootin is not windows-only BTW
[17:23] <[maurice]> hello, is there a way to enable/disable system beep?
[17:23] <Gnea> !usb | passingmannar
[17:23] <unavailable> sztomi: k, i was just saying you can run it in windows...
[17:23] <passingmannar> thanks Gnea
[17:23] <jinja-sheep> passingmannar | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent |  Why don't you do it now?  homy have issues with it. <_<
[17:23] <dr_willis> [maurice],  xset b off, gets rid of most of them. of course some apps may be beeping in their own way. Gnome has some beep settings also
[17:23] <levene__> [maurice]: there are some wires inside your machine... you could attach a switch :-)
[17:23] <passingmannar> so does it work well
[17:24] <homy> jinja-sheep: I tried the Method 0 given.
[17:24] <jinja-sheep> [maurice]:  Take the speakers out with the baseball bat.
[17:24] <scampbell> throlkena: your posted source code is broken, use printf not print.  Here is the fixed code, compiled and run   http://pastebin.ca/1300224
[17:24] <[maurice]> dr_willis, levene__ thanks
[17:24] <levene__> anyone using virtualbox on hardy?
[17:24] <dr_willis> levene__,  lots of us do..
[17:24] <jinja-sheep> [maurice]:  Run this command -- rmmod pcspkr
[17:24] <[maurice]> jinja-sheep, thanks for the advice, ill try that when all else fails
[17:24] <levene__> dr_willis: is it working as of the last apt-get update?
[17:25] <dr_willis> levene__,  not noticed.  Not on Linux at the moment.
[17:25] <levene__> dr_willis: because mine is now broken and i don't know how to fix it
[17:25] <levene__> dr_willis: the virtualbox-ose-modules-generic package is installed (this is what the error dialog message suggests)
[17:25] <Gnea> [maurice]: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=126746
[17:25] <[maurice]> levene__ it seems to be working now, when you guys say my nick it beeps, thats what I was wanting, but its so low I can hardly hear it
[17:26] <levene__> [maurice]: which irc client?
[17:26] <dr_willis> [maurice],  the irc client may have its own 'nick beep' settings
[17:26] <jinja-sheep> homy:  I'm aware you tried the method 0.  However -- There are nothing I can do.  It worked for me.  Did you try saving files on the usb?
[17:26] <[maurice]> Xchat
[17:26] <levene__> [maurice]: well, use irssi like sensible people, then :-)
[17:27] <homy> jinja-sheep: right-click->create document->empty file works well. Btw, the usb drive is formated to fat32? Is that ok?
[17:27] <jinja-sheep> homy:  I mean... save to the USB.
[17:27] <iderik> Hello, i've just installed ubuntu, and trying to install NVIDIA drivers with Harddrive Drivers application, nothing happens when I try to activate the driver in the list =/ anyone know what's wrong? if you need any more information, please tell me :-)
[17:27] <homy> jinja-sheep: yes, saving to usb also works fine
[17:27] <jinja-sheep> Fat32 should be fine.
[17:28] <omnydevi> iderik - nothing happens when you hit activate?
[17:28] <m1dn1ght> Hi guys.  I wrote a simple bash script to run a couple of commands.  Works fine.  To simplify it I created a simple application launcher for gnome-panel so I could run the script with one click.  This also works fine, however what I would like to do is have the script run in a visible terminal (like the option when I double click the script in nautilus) so I can see the progress.  Is this possible?
[17:28] <jinja-sheep> homy:  If nothing work, try Method 1... and 2.
[17:28] <homy> jinja-sheep: ok, I'll probably do that. The weird thing is, method 0 worked perfectly for me in the past.
[17:28] <MikeTheMika> LIAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[17:28] <iderik> jinja-sheep: method 1 and 2? :/

[17:32] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: okay, are you able to login as your regular user?
[17:32] <homy> m1dn1ght: I think what you want is right-clicking the launcher->properties and changing "Application" to "Application in Terminal"?
[17:32] <MikeTheMika> yes

[17:38] <unop> !es | sergi
[17:38] <jinja-sheep> sandjkirkland, use sudo
[17:38] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: no, you'll need to make sure the disk gets mounted on the desktop when you boot it up, then open a terminal and become root (sudo -i) and edit the /media/disk/etc/group  (it might not be /media/disk, it might be /media/somethingelse)
[17:38] <puremichael> anyone know what broke radeonhd? i've installed it from the ubuntu repos and since yesterday i can only run in lowres mode

[17:38] <sandjkirkland> okay how do I open a folder using sudo ? I am on gnome desktop
[17:39] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: then just replace all instances of 'root' on the right-hand side to mongkorn
[17:39] <omnydevi> sand - sudo nautilus, that should do it
[17:39] <homy> sandjkirkland: you can try right-clicking the folder, selectiing properties->Permissions and changing permissions.
[17:39] <MikeTheMika> Gnea:  i see, so thats all I have to do?
[17:40] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: yeah, pretty much... when you saved it, make sure you unmount the disk before rebooting back into the main system
[17:40] <homy> Gnea: why does MikeTheMika do that? Are'nt the outputs of id ok?
[17:40] <MikeTheMika> Gnea:  alright, thank you very much

[17:43] <omnydevi> sand - glad to be of help :)
[17:43] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: ah, okay
[17:43] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: sorry about that :)
[17:43] <MikeTheMika> Gnea:   anyway, thanks again n i really appreciated the help u gave me
[17:43] <omnydevi> sand - if you try to access them as user, you will get the same error. you might have to give yourself permissions to the location and files. remember that sudo command, it comes in handy from time to time
[17:43] <Wildcat_> Gnea: im doing it becuase i need to use my audio over an hdmi cable.... alsa 1.0.8a is supose to suport it... but ubuntu only lets u upgrade to 1.0.7 so i had to download the tar files and install manually
[17:43] <Gnea> MikeTheMika: good luck

[17:45] <Lillymon> omnydevi: As I stated, the system froze and I was forced to reboot. fsck gave me an error and asked me to manually fix it. It started a management session, but I hadn't a clue what to do, so I hit Ctrl+D to get back to KDE.
[17:46] <Lillymon> The user friendliness of Ubuntu vanishes very quickly when you're asked to manually fix a broken file system from a fsck log.
[17:46] <omnydevi> lilly - sorry, i cant be of help on that, i know jack about kde. other than i like it, but had to stick with gnome
[17:47] <Lillymon> It's nothing to do with KDE! It's a broken partition that fsck spotted! KDE has no bearing on anything whatsoever!
[17:47] <CCRC-error> Hi all
[17:48] <kitche> Lillymon: if you don't know how to use fsck then I suggest read the man pages on fsck
[17:48] <CCRC-error> I've installed ubuntu 8.10 on a vmware & i want to use it (CLI mode only!) for running as my server.
[17:48] <omnydevi> kitche - looks like i could read those as well :D
[17:48] <homy> Lillymon: maybe you can boot from a live cd, start gparted and do a partition check and repair?
[17:48] <Lillymon> This is probably a minor thing. I had some torrents writing to the partition, maybe I'll lose some of that. I don't care but I've no a clue where to start here.
[17:48] <CCRC-error> Because of it I have to disable as much proceses as I can.. & I don't find info about them all via google, I hope you'll be able to help me.
[17:48] <kitche> Lillymon: since manually fixing a file system doesn't tell us much about your problem without seeing the exact error
[17:48] <macman_> anyone got wmv files to play on ubuntu 8.10
[17:48] <CCRC-error> What is for the console-screen.kdb.sh script?
[17:48] <pablo_> i need help to run a partition of ubuntu on vmware fusion over macosx
[17:49] <Lillymon> Well it wrote a log, but I don't remember where. Where would fsck write such a thing?
[17:49] <unop> macman_, sure - you'll need extra codecs tho
[17:49] <unop> !w32codecs > macman_
[17:49] <omnydevi> pablo - they make vmware for mac?
[17:49] <hbit> hi guys...running out of space on system partition....got an extra partition. Does anyone have a hint on how to backup filesytem, merge partitions and restore?
[17:50] <CrocoJet> I am getting problems to make boot in pendrive usb boot created via intrepid. After boot via pendrive, only show syslinux boot prompt, how to start live intrepid via pendrive ?
[17:51] <wiherna> hi
[17:51] <unop> hbit,  it should be quite simple if you know your way around /etc/fstab
[17:51] <domas> damnit, anyone is hitting any kswapd deadlocks?

[17:52] <tlvb> will the command    ls -R dira | grep -v "$(ls -R dirb)"    list the files that exist in dira but not in dirb?
[17:52] <unop> tlvb, yes but not very reliably
[17:52] <malkav_> hi
[17:52] <marco> How can I define default permissions for vfat removable devices?
[17:53] <unop> tlvb,  http://wooledge.org/mywiki/BashFAQ/036 -- How can I get all lines that are: in both of two files (set intersection) or in only one of two files (set subtraction).
[17:53] <marco> also, what's the program/package/script responsible for auto mounting devices on ubuntu?
[17:53] <hbit> unop I'm thinking on gpart (livecd) to resize partitions, I'm doubtful on the copy process...by the way got anly 1 harddrive
[17:54] <marcelo> My terminal tty2 is not printing what I type to the screen, and when I type return I do not get a new line, just one prompt in front of the other. What is happening?
[17:54] <lacita> how do I set up the su password?
[17:54] <tlvb> unop: thanks
[17:54] <unop> !sudo | lacita
[17:54] <Guest9508> there's a text editor that allow many people to edit the same text at the same time, i can't remember the name, does anyone remember ?
[17:54] <g8tor> hello all
[17:54] <tlvb> lacita: why do you want to? sudo -s not enough?
[17:54] <lacita> unop: su, not sudo
[17:55] <unop> lacita, you don't use su on ubuntu
[17:55] <unop> hbit, how much free space on the spare partition?
[17:55] <lacita> tlvb: need C compiler to create an executable
[17:55] <marco> how can I discover what is the package/binary/script responsible for auto mounting removable devices?
[17:55] <throlkena> someone please help me outh with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1031446
[17:55] <lacita> unop: I've done it before, and need to do it now.
[17:55] <unop> lacita, you'll need to install build-essential for that - not use su
[17:56] <CrocoJet> when connected pendrive at usb, ask me to run on program, after click, show "Cannot find the autorun program"
[17:56] <malkav_> lacita sudo passwd
[17:56] <tlvb> lacita: su has nothing to do with creating executables
[17:56] <homy> marcelo: try typing the command "reset"
[17:56] <g8tor> I have a Wester Digital (500G) USB drive that worked fine in 8.04 but since I have upgraded (fresh install) to 8.10 I can mount it at all? Is this a known issue or is it my badd?
[17:56] <unop> lacita, malkav_, we don't recommend that here
[17:56] <CrocoJet> I made boot usb pendrive from "ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso"
[17:56] <Koordin> hi, how can i download man page 2 & man page 3 ?
[17:56] <lacita> malkav_: tried it, authentication failure
[17:56] <hbit> unop: hda5 (15GB's)  hda6 (5GB's) ...will merge to a 20GB's...on my drive I have also WXP and W2K3 on other partitions..
[17:57] <lacita> unop: I'm not an idiot. I can handle my own installation.
[17:57] <marcelo> homy: Thanks, it works
[17:57] <homy> marcelo: you're welcome
[17:57] <Lillymon> Where the hell does fsck write logs when something goes wrong? It must be a standard location, someone must know.
[17:58] <marco> Am I asking something too difficult? What daemon/script/thing ubuntu uses to auto mount removable devices?
[17:58] <lacita> malkav_: Thnk you very much.
[17:58] <unop> lacita, no one said you were - regardless, sudo is appropriate for superuser access .. if you need a superuser shell.   sudo -s
[17:58] <homy> Lillymon: I suggest booting from a live cd
[17:58] <lacita> unop: got it. thanks for all your help!
[17:58] <malkav_> sudo passwd should work you enter your sudo pass and nex su pass
[17:58] <csc_> hello
[17:58] <marco> hi
[17:58] <homy> Lillymon: because then you can umount your partition and do a fsck with fixing errors.
[17:58] <Lillymon> What the hell would booting from a live CD do? The broken partition isn't mounted and I have two hard drives.
[17:59] <Lillymon> The broken partition is not on the same HD as root, I can work on it from here.
[17:59] <iderik> omnydevi: my internet died, i have graphic card NVIDIA GeForce 8200M G
[17:59] <Koordin> hi, how can i download man page 2 & man page 3 ?
[17:59] <marco> how do I stop ubuntu from mounting removable usb sticks automatically?
[17:59] <malkav_> ok ;]
[17:59] <csc_> problem for experts: how can i extend the root filesystem of a livecd (which uses memory) with a given filesystem on an the hardisk?
[17:59] <unop> hbit, you'd have to use a gparted live CD and do this - but you should backup all data first
[18:00] <marco> koordin: what program's man pages?
[18:00] <Koordin> marco:for the system calls
[18:00] <Koordin> for instance, chmod(2)
[18:01] <sandjkirkland> how can I password protect a folder so that I even have to put in a pw to access
[18:01] <tlvb> Lillymon: there's nothing in /var/log?
[18:01] <LuXor> guys
[18:01] <LuXor> SOS
[18:01] <LuXor> NEED HELP !!
[18:01] <homy> !ask | LuXor
[18:01] <marco> koordin: good question, but I don't know, sorry.
[18:01] <LuXor> homy i cannot connect to internet with the static IP
[18:02] <marco> csc_: I presume that if you use LVM on both partitions you can extend the way you are talking about
[18:02] <iderik> omnydevi: are you still there?
[18:02] <hbit> unop: yup thanx  that's the idea...1) boot gpart livecd 2) backup 3) resize 4) restore....the backup process is what I don't know how to perform...which would me the best dd tar ?? any parameters notes to care about?
[18:02] <marco> csc_: but livecd's usually don't use lvm, as it's a complicated mess unnecessary for a simple live cd
[18:02] <csc_> marco, dinamically?
[18:02] <Lillymon> tlvb: I have no idea, I haven't looked because no one gave any suggestions and I'm on the verge of fucking panic here!
[18:02] <LuXor> homy i have ubuntu 8.10 i followed this paper but not works... http://www.itech7.com/Linux/Ubuntu-810-internet-connection-for-a-static-IP
[18:02] <csc_> marco, i need to extend the root partition of my livecd dinamically
[18:02] <marco> csc_: would require unmounting the root partition I'm afraid
[18:02] <Koordin> sandjkirkland: i think you can remove the right to execute for the group and for the others ; then you are the only one who can open it
[18:03] <marco> csc_:you can always mount hdd partitions on points you need space on the livecd though, it would be simpler
[18:03] <LuXor> any help??? :(
[18:03] <csc_> marco, what do you mean
[18:03] <homy> LuXor: did you right-click network manager applet and use that gui (right click on the network icon in the top right and select Edit Conenctions...)
[18:03] <tlvb> Lillymon: ah, well to my knowledge /var/log is the standard logging directory, and looking at a local computer here I can see that there is a fsck directory in it
[18:04] <Lillymon> "fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=c1f497b5-987b-4dbb-b705-b6fcfdf28890'"
[18:04] <unop> hbit, i recommend tar.   (cd /path/to/src && tar cf - .) | (cd /path/to/dest && tar xf -)
[18:04] <LuXor> homy nope.. i was just following the paper what i have just gave you
[18:04] <macman_> unop, what does mediaubuntu have to do with me playing wav files on ubuntu 8.10
[18:04] <Wyhiwyl> Can someone explain this to me? I got this message when doing $ sudo apt-get upgrade:
[18:04] <marco> csc_: say, you need, for a reason, space in /usr/share on the live CD. You simply mount a partition with free space on the HD to /usr/share
[18:04] <Wyhiwyl> The following packages will be upgraded: libopal-2.2 transmission-cli transmission-common
[18:04] <Wyhiwyl> 3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[18:04] <Wyhiwyl> Need to get 3849kB of archives.
[18:04] <Wyhiwyl> After this operation, 4096B of additional disk space will be used.
[18:04] <FloodBot2> Wyhiwyl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:04] <Lillymon> It died with exit status 8, which appears to indicate an "Operational error".
[18:04] <Wyhiwyl> Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
[18:04] <marco> csc_: Or just use a symbolic link, even more versatile
[18:04] <unop> macman_, the w32codecs package is available on medibuntu
[18:04] <homy> LuXor: ok, so try that. Its easier anyway. Ok, so do you have the "Network Connections" Dialog open?
[18:05] <iderik> When I try to activate a NVIDIA driver with Hardware driver application, a new window shows with a progress bar, but it happens so fast i can't see whats going on, i think nothing happens. i tried to restart but no driver is installed. anyone knows what's wrong? please
[18:05] <marco> now, does anyone know what pixie magic ubuntu does to auto mount removable devices??
[18:05] <frankychan_> hi
[18:05] <marco> hi.
[18:05] <frankychan_> anybody there
[18:05] <LuXor> homy you mean configure the IP-s from the Network Manager?
[18:05] <omnydevi> 1423 of us, whats your issue?
[18:05] <hbit> unop: thanks for the help
[18:05] <homy> LuXor: yes: right click on network manager, select "Edit connections"
[18:05] <macman_> unop, can i install that via apt-get ?
[18:06] <LuXor> homy & then?
[18:06] <iderik> omnydevi: can you help me with my driver problem i talked about? please
[18:06] <Koordin> hi, how can i download man page 2 & man page 3 ? (for the system calls, chmod (2) for instance)
[18:06] <unop> macman_, yes, as long as you have the medibuntu repository setup.
[18:06] <jonny_> For some reason my session never becomes inactive - the screensaver won't start and worse, the computer doesn't auto suspend!
[18:06] <homy> LuXor: is it a wired or wireless network you want to set a static ip for?
[18:06] <mgolisch> Koordin: install manpages-dev
[18:06] <omnydevi> iderik - install envyNG through Synaptic
[18:06] <marco> koordin: try "man 2 syscalls" or "man 2 intro"
[18:06] <jonny_> I only have firefox and google reader running (greader in prism)
[18:07] <LuXor> homy & no.. its some zyxel modem connected to lan card.. i don know what is name of that
[18:07] <omnydevi> iderik - that program will detect your nVidia card and install the correct driver if the hardware way is failing
[18:07] <marco> I beg of you, how come no one knows how ubuntu mounts removable devices? Does it use a daemon? How one could configure it?
[18:07] <jonny_> Hmmm. Does gnome-power-manager rely on the screensaver to tell it the session is idle?
[18:07] <homy> LuXor: so basically you just want to connect to the internet?
[18:08] <LuXor> homy & yes
[18:08] <csc_> marco, it's more complicated than that. basically my custom livecd has a squash filesystem which is 5,3GB. whenever data is required for it , it's expanded in the root fs / (not a precise point), which is a disc in ram. i need to extend this ram disc with some partition on a real hd.. i hope the prob is clear
[18:08] <homy> LuXor: do you have dsl?
[18:08] <homy> or what kind of a modem is it?
[18:08] <dman> my windows are auto loaded "stuck" to the top left corner of my screen, what preference will turn this off?  Or is this a video card issue?
[18:08] <Lillymon> OK, now what the hell is an operational error?
[18:08] <marco> csc_: but surely where you need the most space? /home?
[18:09] <Koordin> mgolisch: thanks that's it
[18:09] <LuXor> homy & yes its DSL, and the modem is ZyXel ( i dont know model )
[18:09] <homy> LuXor: ok, so select the DSL tab in "Network Connections"
[18:09] <Lillymon> If I actually use a live CD, what the hell do I actually DO with it?
[18:09] <LuXor> homy there is some user and password to configure... no static ip
[18:10] <marco> I reckon ubuntu talks softly to usb devices convincing them to mount like magic?
[18:10] <mgolisch> Koordin: yeah quite annoying that those important bits arent installed by default, but i guess the standard ubuntu user wouldnt even know what syscalls or libc is at all
[18:10] <mgolisch> :)
[18:10] <homy> LuXor: yes. the details you got from your provider. Why do you want to set a static ip address?
[18:10] <marco> mgolisch: or even how the system auto mounts removable devices...
[18:10] <Koordin> sure ;o)
[18:10] <Koordin> and the middle user know irc : )
[18:10] <Koordin> knows*
[18:11] <LuXor> homy because on windows it needs to be configured. and when you configure it your on the internet in some seconds...
[18:11] <LuXor> homy i dont know elseway to connect to internet
[18:11] <Lillymon> I need to fsck my disks using a live CD, but I've not a clue how to do that. It's all well and good saying "Use a live CD", but how damn you? What do I type and what do I do?
[18:11] <hot_rod_hippie> marco: what is the problem you are having with your removable device?
[18:12] <marco> hot_rod_hippie: I'm a curious type. I wanted to configure whatever is automagically mounting usb devices to try to configure the default permissions for vfat devices
[18:12] <omnydevi> lilly - i would guess you load the live cd, mount your drive, and use an application to scan and repair the disk
[18:12] <marco> hot_rod_hippie: this is linux after all, should be easy to custom simple file permissions, isn't it?
[18:12] <Lillymon> omnydevi: "an application"? How descriptive. It'll be a Kubuntu 8.10 CD.
[18:13] <qdb> hello. i have not installed ircd yet by i have "irc" in passwd file and in nautilus file properties permission tab. is that normal?
[18:13] <homy> LuXor: sorry, as I know it, ussually you get password/username from your provider (if you have a usb-modem). Maybe sb else can help you
[18:13] <macman_> unop, i just installed it and w32codec .. should i reboot and play the wmv in totem ?
[18:13] <omnydevi> lilly - sweet, forgive me, i am new to this myself. someone said earlier gparted had a scan and repair utility, i would look for that
[18:13] <Wildcat_> i need some serious help... tried to upgrade alsa and now my ubuntu says i dont have any sound devices... and no one in the alsa channel is talking... anyone have any advice?
[18:13] <LuXor> Anyone Know how to connect to internet ??? With Static IP ? i have ubuntu 8.10
[18:13] <unop> macman_, you shouldn't have to reboot - a simple restart of totem should be enough
[18:13] <LuXor> Anyone Know how to connect to internet ??? With Static IP ? i have ubuntu 8.10
[18:13] <dman> killall command is just "Killall App" yea?
[18:13] <omnydevi> LuXoR - can you set your IP in your router?
[18:14] <luke__> hi!
[18:14] <pzivkovic> when i run "import pygtk" in python console it runs without errors but when i run script with this line i get "IndentationError: unexpected indent"!any help?
[18:14] <omnydevi> LuXoR - most routers have an option to set IP based on mac address
[18:14] <g8tor> can someone help me with mounting my usb drives? The memory stick mounts just fine the hard drives will not mount @ all.
[18:14] <LuXor> omnydevi no i cant... the provider not giving me the password
[18:14] <pzivkovic> is this OS problem or python error?
[18:14] <unop> pzivkovic, there's #python
[18:14] <hot_rod_hippie> marco: how curious are you? there are graphical ways to control automounts
[18:14] <unop> pzivkovic, sounds like an error you have made with the python code
[18:14] <dman> killall command for myth please?
[18:14] <marco> hot_rod_hippie: including default permissions? I'm quite curious actually ;-)
[18:15] <wal3> hello. how can I see which program uses/blocks the audio dev?
[18:15] <puremichael> exists a channel related to the proprietary ati drivers ?
[18:15] <pzivkovic> unop, that code i copied from devhelp
[18:15] <pablo_> i need help to run a partition of ubuntu on vmware fusion over macosx
[18:15] <pzivkovic> unop, it sounds like ubuntu pygtk problem
[18:15] <pzivkovic> is there pygtk in ubuntu?
[18:15] <LuXor> omnydevi any help?
[18:15] <unop> pzivkovic, yea, though code formatted on webpages is hardly proper
[18:16] <unop> pzivkovic, make sure that line has no leading whitespace
[18:16] <ASULutzy> pzivkovic: Are you sure your indenting properly? Python requires strict indentation rules, no lines can have improper leading whitespace
[18:16] <qdb> hello. i have not installed ircd yet by i have "irc" in passwd file and in nautilus file properties permission tab. is that normal?
[18:16] <ASULutzy> you're*
[18:16] <danand> Hi all. I'm having a problem installing virtualbox guest additions. I'm running vbox on Ubuntu 7.10 (vbox 1.5.0 OSE) and the guest OS that I want to install the guest additions stuff on is Ubuntu 8.10. I've tried installing via the Guest Additions ISO and running the install script, and by apt-get installing the vbox source and utils package on the guest system. Unfortunately both lead to errors... Anyone else had this problem?
[18:16] <eseven73> dman: maybe 'killall -9 myth' or 'killall -9 myth*' if that dont work try 'ps aux |grep myth*' and find the pid, then 'kill -9 <pid # here'
[18:17] <unop> dman, eseven73, never kill -9 right off the bat - that's dangerous
[18:17] <ASULutzy> qdb: Yes, that's normal, check /etc/shadow, I'm guessing irc doesn't have a password, just like all the other users (www-data, nobody,  etc)
[18:17] <qdb> ok
[18:17] <macman_>  unop Unpacking w32codecs (from .../w32codecs_20071007-0medibuntu3_i386.deb)
[18:17] <qdb> thanks
[18:17] <eseven73> lol unop ooops :/
[18:17] <unop> macman_, what's that?
[18:17] <unop> eseven73, really - don't
[18:17] <omnydevi> LuXoR - you have a router or just a modem?
[18:17] <macman_> unop, showing you that i installed mediaubuntu and installed w32codec
[18:18] <unop> macman_, ok
[18:18] <slak> ubuntu 8.10 = the suck
[18:18] <pzivkovic> unop, ASULutzy thanks!it was whitespaces problem!didn't know py is so strict about it!thanks again
[18:18] <macman_> unop, gxine , totem nothing will play the wmv
[18:18] <macman_> let me try vlc
[18:18] <ASULutzy> pzivkovic: yep, in the future, remember this is Ubuntu support, for python support, #python, but glad I could help
[18:18] <sandjkirkland> can I take a folder from one user and copy it to another user
[18:18] <eseven73> unop: i hear people in here saying 'kill -9 <pid>' all the time, so i never thought it as a danger :/
[18:19] <unop> sandjkirkland, sure
[18:19] <ASULutzy> eseven73: You don't want to kill -9 something for no good reason, kill sends a signal which tells a process to cleanup and die gracefully, if you do kill -9 you're not giving the process a chance to cleanup, you're abruptly killing it
[18:19] <sandjkirkland> unop Would this work Copy folder, logout, login to other user, paste
[18:20] <sandjkirkland> or ....
[18:20] <unop> eseven73, http://sial.org/howto/shell/kill-9/
[18:20] <eseven73> yes i know, but again i hear everyone else doing it in here, so i didnt think it was that big of a deal :)
[18:20] <ASULutzy> eseven73: kill sends sig 15 which is TERM by default, kill -9 sends signal 9, which is KILL, check the man page :)
[18:20] <pzivkovic> ASULutzy, i tried there but it requires registration.Sorry for offtopic.How can i register myself on this server?
[18:20] <macman_> unop, wheni play the file i get this error "The stream is encrypted and decryption is not supported."
[18:20] <pzivkovic> i'll try #help
[18:20] <pzivkovic> ;)
[18:20] <ASULutzy> pzivkovic: /msg NickServ
[18:21] <unop> sandjkirkland, i would say - copy the folder to it's destination, assign right permissions and ownership, log out, log back in, etc
[18:21] <unop> macman_, yea, that's something i have never managed to get around - encrypted wmvs - not sure it's even possible on linux (yet)
[18:21] <omnydevi> LuXoR - if you have just a modem you are going to have a rough time trying to set your ip static. you will need some kind of router for that. depending on the router i might be able to walk you into it.
[18:21] <macman_> dang .. so unop play it in windows ?
[18:22] <dman> need to remove all traces of mysql, command for this would be??
[18:22] <unop> eseven73, if everyone jumps off the Brooklyn bridge - would you? :)
[18:22] <macman_> .. let me restart
[18:22] <dan_> Hi I'm new to ubuntu  I have always used windows and before that Dos. What are some of the things I should know about Ubuntu and Linux?
[18:22] <eseven73> lol ok ok i got the point
[18:22] <xdsl_user> Âñåì ïðèâåò...
[18:23] <xdsl_user> åñòü êòî ðàçãîâàðèâàò ïî ðóññêè?

[18:23] <It> hi
[18:23] <ASULutzy> dman: You could start by sudo apt-get purge mysql-server maybe?
[18:24] <omnydevi> hmm, what is the difference from apt-get remove and apt-get purge?
[18:24] <hot_rod_hippie> marco: do you want to assign permissions to the entire drive?
[18:24] <ASULutzy> omnydevi: remove just removes the program, purge removes the program and its config files I believe
[18:24] <hbit> unop: I'll perform a backup of my filesystem to an external usb drive (fat)...is there a way of doing this without having to create an ext3 filesystem on the usb drive ..create an iso or something  15GB's
[18:24] <omnydevi> ASUL - thank you, good to know. I just used remove...doh!
[18:25] <It> maybe man apt helps you
[18:25] <omnydevi> i could read the man, but faster to get an answer here, since i am at work and ubuntu-less atm
[18:25] <It> ok
[18:26] <unop> hbit,  you can create a tarball with tar - it has the capability to preserve permissions and ownership so you don't have to create a new filesystem
[18:26] <ASULutzy> hbit: You can use dd and make an image if you want to, there's also the option of tar'ing /
[18:26] <technodub> should i trust and make all the updates ?
[18:26] <unop> hbit,  the only problem is that FAT has a filesize limitation - you might have to split the tarball up into many peices
[18:26] <Quagmire> I bought an off-business lease laptop Dell D620 & it shows as being a very compatibe pc for ubuntu. My question is ...this system has a 100gb hdd that has a fresh install of XP Pro on it and I already have 2 other laptops, so its not like I'm without microcrap alternatives. ;) With that said I want to know what is my best course of action in setting up this laptop ...should I partition the hdd and leave XP or just format and install u
[18:26] <jim_p> Katangawise, are you still there?
[18:26] <It> trust yes
[18:27] <technodub> it r u sure?
[18:27] <It> but be sure you check the release infos
[18:27] <It> on the site
[18:27] <xdsl_user> Sorry bad english ... I know what you can use the client on ubuntu for IRC?
[18:27] <jessid> Hello. How can I know what ports ubuntu is using????????
[18:27] <ASULutzy> Quagmire: That's really a matter of personal preference, personally I would keep Windows on there, at least until you're sure Ubuntu is working fine for you... It would be silly to blow up the Windows install only to discover that Ubuntu isn't supported for some strange reason by your hardware
[18:27] <alexis12> Quagmire : It depends, if you would like to use windows on that laptop as well as ubuntu, then a partition will obviously be best.
[18:27] <omnydevi> Quag - depends. if you have important files i would back them up and use the whole pc. you still have 2 copies of winblows to use. wouldn't hurt to have a full ubuntu box. i would at least
[18:27] <jessid> !ports
[18:27] <It> sure because bugs always exists
[18:27] <technodub> how does the md5 checksum works?
[18:27] <ASULutzy> xdsl_user: What is your native language?
[18:28] <Barridus> Quagmire, depends on your needs.  i sort of like having both os's with me so i have both on my laptops.  you can always blow the xp partition out later if you decide it's uneccesary
[18:28] <It> md5 sums it's a long story
[18:28] <unop> technodub, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/md5
[18:28] <It> but every file even with a different file name
[18:28] <It> has other md5sum
[18:29] <unop> It, not every file - surely
[18:29] <It> unop  yes not every file...
[18:29] <xdsl_user> ASULutzy > Russian
[18:29] <wisnut> anyone know why running a tsclient session from intrepid causes X to lock up?  Mouse moves, can break out into CLI, but cannot move/minimize any windows on ubuntu desktop, although dos prompt in tsclient window still active. . . . . .very strange?
[18:29] <hbit> unop: right 4Gb's thanx for the reminder
[18:29] <_^b4tm4n18^_> Hola...

[18:30] <amikrop> Hello. After running that script http://dpaste.com/105672/, each Terminal I run points to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Pyro Studios/Imperial Glory. How can I fix this?
[18:30]  * technodub i love this channel 
[18:31] <ASULutzy> It: I was directing xdsl_user to the russian Ubuntu support channel because his English was not very good and he said Russian was his native language.
[18:31] <Losowski> I just built a new kernel for Ubuntu - 2.6.28...how to I create an Nvidia Module for it....I deleted the older kernel, and Nvidia needed it as a dependency...so, how to I make Nvidia dependent for my new kernel?
[18:31] <It> AsuLutzy : nice... :-)
[18:31] <omnydevi> skooz1 - you might have to edit grub. title Windows root (hd0,0) chainloader +1
[18:31] <marcelo> how can I contract the path name to a minimum in the prompt?
[18:32] <skooz1> anyone have an idea on the grub menu
[18:32] <skooz1> sorry
[18:32] <rnk> my up key doesn't seem to be working. Is that a known problem?
[18:32] <It> i only know tha there is a command like modrpope about adding options for the kernel on the fly
[18:32] <omnydevi> not other than the one i mentioned
[18:32] <jessid> Hello. How can I know what ports ubuntu is using????????

[18:33] <It> jessid : what do you mean ? open ports?
[18:33] <skooz1> omnydevi what do i need to type in terminal
[18:34] <omnydevi> skooz1 when grub comes up, you have to hit .. whatever it tells you to hit to edit the menu. i would have to read more to know exactly. i just got the command when i was trying to install on raid0
[18:34] <jessid> It yes, I am trying to use twinkle, that is a voice on ip program, and it says port 5060 is in use, so I need to know what program is using it
[18:34] <zigzags> hit esc during grub to bring up the menu
[18:34] <It> ey skooz1 i think you can download KGRUBEDITOR
[18:34] <omnydevi> skooz1 - i would google grub and title Windows root (hd0,0) chainloader +1
[18:35] <It> its should help you a lot it's a gui with options to change grub boot loader settings easily!
[18:35] <skooz1> it: thanks
[18:35] <omnydevi> sweet
[18:35] <vigognome> ports on Linux is nmap

[18:35] <zigzags> what keyboard shortcuts can i use to bring up my system monitor
[18:35] <omnydevi> anytime :D
[18:35] <technodub> jessid type netstat - options
[18:35] <ASULutzy> jessid: you can use netstat to view what ports are open, ngrep can be used to monitor traffic coming in over a certain port,
[18:36] <jessid> technodub, ASULutzy thanks a lot!
[18:36] <It> Jessid : i agree also about netstat
[18:36] <jessid>  It, ok, thanks a lot!!!!
[18:36] <technodub> jessid :>
[18:36] <It> but maybe sudo netstat if you have default settings...
[18:36] <ASULutzy> jessid: There's also fuser
[18:36] <d-tech> could not stat /dev/cciss/c0d01 --- no such file or directory
[18:36] <vigognome> Yes, It, I forgot that one
[18:37] <It> vigognome no problem

Mouse moves, can break out into CLI(using ctrl+alt+F2), but cannot move/minimize any windows on ubuntu desktop or launch new gui apps, although dos prompt in tsclient window still active. . . . . .very strange?

[18:45] <dwxreaper> omnydevi: it has to be the right memory..
[18:45] <wisnut> onmydevi:  disabling all compiz settings seems to work so far - thanks (but now i disabled too much!)
[18:45] <omnydevi> dwx - put in the liveCD, if it loads, the ram will work
[18:46] <Supersaiyan_IV> Kelen, trial and error
[18:46] <Supersaiyan_IV> :P

[18:48] <iShock> king: There's no /dev/video0, how can it play?...
[18:48] <Supersaiyan_IV> Kelen, yes, because the Zaurus module got built ½ a year later into intrepid, which I needed
[18:48] <Supersaiyan_IV> Has anyone here tried Nvidia VDPAU with ffh264vdpau codec with any success? (Nvidia driver v180.18)

[18:49] <pablo_> i need help to run a partition of ubuntu on vmware fusion over macosx

[18:53] <mogi22> king, thanx was afraid of that

[18:54] <Muhammad_Saad> I have Xubuntu 8.10 live CD and it has a file /preseed/cli.seed. Does it have any link with my question?
[18:54] <It> then you will see that you can do it
[18:54] <king> Muhammad_Saad, It does, I guess the seed file contains all the configuration and package options.

[18:56] <king> Muhammad_Saad, Sorry. What you could do is install the full system and then set the run mode to CLI so that it boots up at command prompt.
[18:56] <king> Muhammad_Saad, But if you don't need the GUI at all, you are better of doing a server install (if that is what you need) or using an alternate cd to choose the packages.
[18:56] <Supersaiyan_IV> !jaunty
[18:56] <king> Muhammad_Saad, You could probably use that file. I just don't know how.

[19:00] <It> king : ok
[19:00] <Supersaiyan_IV> tinkywonk, does dmesg display some info that he device has connected?
[19:00] <king> !gdm
[19:00] <CCRC-error> ok, thanks.
[19:00] <pdtpatrick> sdf look look in the game settings itself and see whether that allows you.
[19:00] <It> sdf : i don't currently know how
[19:01] <nonix4> tinkywonk: and does dmesg show more lines when you plug the card in?
[19:01] <sdf> pdtpatrick, it doesnt
[19:01] <It> sdf: i don't play games but in settings of the game it might be an answer
[19:01] <b1gbawx> ever since i selected x windows to not load on startup my usb external harddrive wont load while in x. is there a way to fix this
[19:01] <It> rather than gnome

[19:01] <aberratic> where is python.h in ubuntu?
[19:01] <Wildcat_> nonix4: is there someoen that list the error code for demsg?
 not sure to be honest not tried them yet as got no usb devices available and yes dmesg says 932.228107] tifm_core: MMC/SD card detected in socket 0:1

[19:02] <pdtpatrick> sdf did u try the alt+ctl + enter? im sure there is a key combination for it .. if not then query google. Im sure another user probably ran into the same problem and resolved it
[19:02] <king> !card
[19:02] <tinkywonk> its a fresh install as just trying ubuntu out and i must say good so far
[19:02] <sdf> pdtpatrick, yeah that just makes it go to ne screen rather than 2
[19:02] <hckyplayer024> hi Im trying to connect to my encrypted network and i cannot connect to any encrypted network. i have Wicd installed and I know my key is right. does anyone know what I can do?
[19:02] <king> |c0mmissar|, I guess the CLI is not X. And only X is shared.
[19:02] <sdf> pdtpatrick, i'm having trouble with google querying aswell, i cant come up with a good search that has brough up anything interesting
[19:02] <tinkywonk> i have not tried any other ports at all as never use them but use my sd slot all the time
[19:03] <king> hckyplayer024, You should be able to connect to any Encrypted network with wicd.
[19:03] <king> hckyplayer024, run wicd from CL and look at the errors.
[19:03] <king> tinkywonk, Did your SD slot just stop working? Did it work before?

[19:04] <fliegenderfrosch> I’ve got a serious problem: Evolution seems to have downloaded some new mails but doesn’t show them. In the search folder for new mails it says 13 new mails on the left, but on the right it says that there are no mails in this folder. Can anyone help me?
[19:04] <aberratic> It, i just had to install python-dev
[19:04] <king> |c0mmissar|, No it is a 'missing feature' issue would be first guess, but I am among the most ignorant people here!
[19:04] <nonix4> tinkywonk: anything like "[   54.669606] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdf] Attached SCSI removable disk" in logs though?
[19:04] <aberratic> thanks
[19:04] <tinkywonk> it never worked from install but did work in windows before i formated and installed ubuntu

[19:04] <king> hckyplayer024, command line. Linux without X.

[19:06] <king> It, click to see.
[19:06] <tinkywonk> any ideas anyone
[19:06] <SlimeyPete> it's a pastebin. If you paste stuff (e.g. an error message) at that website, it'll store the paste and then you can give the URL to us so that we can read it
 I need help setting up Samba peer-to-peer with windows xp using the posting in ubuntu forum group by stormbringer
 under step 2, Changing settings in windows, with wins enabled, I get error: The drive could not be mapped because no network drive could be found.
[19:07] <nonix4> tinkywonk: so... it detects that there is a card but doesn't detect it as a disk?
[19:07] <hckyplayer024> king: when i try to connect to my network, Im sure all my settings are right, It gets stuck on validating authentication
[19:07] <|c0mmissar|> oh I"ve tried so many edits to my xorg.conf & none work. there's an Nvidia x server settings applet that installed with the driver, but it doesn't even open. gives me a segmentation fault..
[19:07] <|c0mmissar|> & my network hiccups...
[19:07] <tinkywonk> thats correct nonix4 i have tried everything on all the forums but no luck i have reinstalled twice but still same thing
[19:08] <b1gbawx> ever since i selected x windows to not load on startup my usb external harddrive wont load while in x. how to i set it to load usb once x loads
[19:08] <omnydevi> c0mm - how did you install the nvidia driver?
[19:08] <It> I understand what  http://paste.ubuntu.com/ is finally
[19:08] <It> ther you paste your code for and for sometime you find it online on a link
[19:08] <Guest16722> I'm about to buy a new laptop that comes with Vista.  I want to install Ubuntu, however I'd like to make a drive image before I install just in case I need to restore the laptop to factory state (e.g. if I need to send it back).  My first thought was to run an Ubuntu LiveCD, connect to a samba share and do something like dd piped through tar/gzip into a file - is there a more efficient way of creating a bit-for-bit drive image?
[19:08] <HacKBoX_> !b43
[19:09] <racer_> hi
[19:09] <pdtpatrick> question .. on a laptop, say you connect it to a projector.. how would you change the input so it goes to the projector? does function f8 work or does ubuntu have a different hot key for this?
[19:10] <nonix4> tinkywonk: actually that is a boot time message... don't have sd cards within sight atm to check what it should show when plugged in :/
[19:10] <It> how to print a utf-8 correct in ms command prompt with python?
[19:10] <sinbox> Guest16722, check clonezilla maybe
[19:10] <Guest16722> sinbox: Cheers - I'll take a look.
[19:10] <eseven73> Guest16722: is it from a company like Dell? if so it should come with a restore disk no?
[19:11] <tinkywonk> i have yes and when i put it in lspci says card inserted when i take it out it says card removed i have tried booting with it in but still does no mount and show me the files
[19:11] <Guest16722> eseven73: It's a Sony and I believe they all come with a hidden recovery partition.
[19:11] <It> even if i encode or decode a sdtring in python only crappy characters i see on ms-dod screen
[19:11] <tinkywonk> does not mount that was
[19:11] <nonix4> tinkywonk: Does "dmesg | grep -i removable" list some scsi device names?
[19:11] <ebaby> hello
[19:11] <eseven73> Guest16722: hmmm I guess the store brands got smart and figured out people were using the restore disks on other machines lol
[19:11] <tinkywonk> no nonix4
[19:12] <Guest16722> eseven73: Maybe.
[19:12] <nonix4> tinkywonk: and lsmod lists sd_mod as loaded?
[19:13] <zigzags> how do i unfreeze my computer if it decides to freeze up? are there keyboard shortcuts for the system monitor??
[19:13] <electroweak> eseven73: you should be able to create recovery disks out of that partition.
[19:13] <Guest16722> zigzags: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[19:13] <eseven73> right i was just curious
[19:13] <omnydevi> Guest - you could download acronis and use that, they have a clone feature. or vice versa
[19:13] <Guest16722> zigzags: Or you can fall back to a terminal (Ctrl+F1).
[19:13] <Glenn`> I installed eggdrop on my Ubuntu, it loads perfectly, but dosen't connect to IRC. (Can't see it in netstat eighter) Any ideas what's wrong?
[19:14] <omnydevi> vice versa has a free 30 day full use trial.

[19:18] <zigzags> ot == offtopic
[19:18] <mendes> oi
[19:18] <ASULutzy> zigzags: When you say freezes up, how bad of a freeze up are we talking? Can you still use ctrl+alt+f1 to switch to tty1, or is the caps lock light blinking on and off
[19:18] <It> AsuLutzy : OK i got it!! ok?

[19:22] <vitin> yeah i know
[19:22] <ASULutzy> zigzags: What is frozen about it? can you not do anything?
[19:22] <vitin> but i can get a web cam there
[19:22] <NaPsTeR> omnydevi: i don't know how to do either of those things...i'm a bit of a noob.
[19:22] <omnydevi> NaPsTeR - me too. :D do you enter your user name and password when you log in?
[19:22] <ASULutzy> when you switch to tty1, you could check top and see what process is upset
[19:22] <galiaf> hi every body sorry for my english

[19:23] <NaPsTeR> omnydevi: no

[19:24] <galiaf> my tpuchpad dosen't working how to configure it, i have an xps_1530
[19:25] <eseven73> vitin: maybe you could get it working in WINE, check the wine headquarters site for Yahoo! Messanger or MSN
[19:25] <ASULutzy> mavsman4457: Do you know what kind of graphics adapter it has?
[19:25] <it_croud> why gedit does not open xchat log files?
[19:25] <eseven73> !winehq
[19:25] <eseven73> bah
[19:25] <darkblue_B> Intrepid Fresh Install - why is there no vector.h ? what pkg supplies vector.h? I see lbstdc++6-4.3 dev
[19:25] <eseven73> !wine
[19:25] <eseven73> !appdb |
[19:25] <marabout> if I choose expert mode in Hardy (alternate) LiveCd will it then allow me to set screen resolutions?
[19:25] <omnydevi> NaPsTeR - keen, from there do sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:25] <eseven73> dang epic fail today *needs more coffee*
[19:25] <omnydevi> well, prolly cant gedit
[19:25] <marco> what's the program/package/script responsible for auto mounting devices on ubuntu?
[19:26] <mavsman4457> ASULutzy, I'm using an MSI Wind and an Envision monitor, does that help?
[19:26] <omnydevi> sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:26] <Jack_Sparrow> omnydevi, Please suggest to people gksudo gedit not sudo gedit.. thanks
[19:26] <omnydevi> what is gksudo gedit?
[19:26] <marco> hot_rod_hippie: yes.
[19:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[19:26] <omnydevi> he doesnt have graphics
[19:26] <eseven73> good catch Jack_Sparrow :)
[19:26] <omnydevi> k thx
[19:26] <omnydevi> so sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:27] <Jack_Sparrow> omnydevi, gedit is a gui app..  you told him to sudo gedit..
[19:27] <it_croud> why ubuntu gedit sees xchats logs as binary and refuse to open it complainig about the character encoding?
[19:27] <ASULutzy> mavsman4457: they have intel adapters I believe. I would sudo apt-get install grandr && grandr
[19:27] <marco> hot_rod_hippie: namely devices that don't have file permissions understandable by linux (eg. FAT32)
[19:27] <omnydevi> then i said o wait that wont work
[19:27] <ASULutzy> mavsman4457: And check if the monitor is detected there
[19:27] <omnydevi> my bad
[19:27] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[19:27] <galiaf> #erevan
[19:27] <Mimi> Does anyone know how I would go about making my mouse buttons (vol up/down, next/previous song) work just like they did when I installed Ubuntu? XFC86 or whatever diidnt work
[19:27] <Mimi> Ive reserached hard
[19:27] <marco> hot_rod_hippie: So that normal users can read what's on the thumb drives, but can't write to it
[19:27] <NaPsTeR> omnydevi: now wat
[19:27] <it_croud> i tried kate and it opend the xchat log files but gedit no
[19:27] <Jack_Sparrow> !keys
[19:27] <omnydevi> NaPsTeR - are you in?
[19:27] <Jack_Sparrow> !buttons
[19:28] <Mimi> Jack_Sparrow, Im not that dumb....
[19:28] <NaPsTeR> omnydevi: i think so
[19:28] <vitin_> how can i get another chat
[19:28] <vitin_> ?
[19:28] <omnydevi> NaPsTeR - ok, vi is strange if you never used it before. What kinda graphics card ya got?
[19:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Mimi, I did not mean to imply anything of the sort..
[19:28] <marabout> can anyone explain the purpose of "expert mode"  in the hardy alternate CD
[19:28] <it_croud> ok i will paste the code errors here
[19:29] <vitin_> how can i get another chat?!?!?!?!?
[19:29] <mavsman4457> ASULutzy no it didn't detect it there
[19:29] <it_croud> gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.
[19:29] <it_croud> Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
[19:29] <it_croud> Select a character coding from the menu and try again.
[19:29] <eseven73> vitin_:  /join #whatever
[19:29] <hot_rod_hippie> marco: you should be able to change /etc/fstab to make the device write-able
[19:29] <ASULutzy> !paste | it_croud
[19:29] <it_croud> ops!! sorry
[19:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Mimi, What are you talking about.. I dont see any pots from you in awhile and I did not make any to you
[19:29] <NaPsTeR> omnydevi: its an ATI 9550 or something to that effect
[19:29] <Neo_The_User> it_croud, thats the best screen name ever
[19:29] <vitin_> am loose
[19:29] <mavsman4457> ASULutzy should I start up ubuntu with the monitor attached already or should I hook it up after I've started ubuntu?
[19:29] <it_croud> Neo the user thanks!!!
[19:30] <omnydevi> NaPsTeR - you are going to want to navigate to the part where is talks about your Graphics Card, and it will say DRIVER
[19:30] <code_> guys
[19:30] <omnydevi> I think it is near the bottom, use the arrow down keys
[19:30] <code_> i just got a eeepc
[19:30] <vitin_> how can i get another chat
[19:30] <vitin_> ?
[19:30] <marco> hot_rod_hippie: right, but then every new device would get a random "/dev/sd?" file for it
[19:30] <code_> this will s ound stupid
[19:30] <eseven73> I just told you vitin_
[19:30] <Neo_The_User> Could somebody please post the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS stock generic kernel config on pastebin?
[19:30] <Jack_Sparrow> vitin, /join #channelname
[19:30] <code_> but where is the cd drive
[19:30] <vitin_> u dont
[19:30] <eseven73> omg
[19:30] <Guest89702> hello-can someone tell how upgrade to the new version of Amarok?
[19:30] <code_> anyone??
[19:30] <Guest89702> on Ubuntu?
[19:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Neo_The_User, No, please go get it yourself
[19:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !kernel
[19:30] <Mimi> Jack_Sparrow, just saying that, like I said, Ive researched hard. Obviously my first instinct was to go to Keyboard Shortcuts, read about Keytouch, didn't work. Been trying for months now ^^  I guess Ill wait till Jaunty is out because i dont feel like reinstalling Ubuntu
[19:30] <ASULutzy> mavsman4457: Both should work, sorry work stuff came up, ask again, maybe someone can be more helpful :)
[19:31] <vitin_> omg
[19:31] <vitin_> i dont know
[19:31] <marco> hot_rod_hippie: it's kludgy to use the fstab, there should be a daemon doing the automounting, don't you think?
[19:31] <mavsman4457> ok thanks
[19:31] <Neo_The_User> I have ubuntu 8.10 installed, I just want to check out the LTS kernel config
[19:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Mimi, Did you see the link on mouse buttons?
[19:31] <Guest16722> zigzgas: There is a panel app. that allows you to kill unresponsive applications (that have a graphical interface), alternatively you can bring up a terminal and kill them manually.
[19:31] <evowill_> code_ : please don't flood, and the eeepc does not come with a cd drive, you can use an external cdrom drive
[19:31] <mavsman4457> ubuntu won't detect my external monitor, what can I do?
[19:31] <marco> hot_rod_hippie: and it should have some kind of documentation, but it seems something so simple is so hard to find
[19:31] <NaPsTeR> omnydevi: i'm not so sure where that is exactly. there is device, monitor and screen sections
[19:31] <Guest16722> zigzags: Or you could set a keyboard shortcut for the system monitor.
[19:31] <omnydevi> device
[19:31] <omnydevi> what is the driver for device?
[19:31] <marabout> installing Hardy alternate got a message saying PNP bios error can anyone  help me with that
[19:32] <Jack_Sparrow> root__, I strongly suggest you not browse the web as root user on your system
[19:32] <evowill_> code_ or if you are trying to install, you can use the USB memory stick method to install Ubuntu
[19:32] <Neo_The_User> anybody willing to share the 8.04 lts kernel config?
[19:32] <omnydevi> NaPsTeR - sorry, been a while since i had to do this, and on xp at work now. sorry for the fuzziness of the answer
[19:32] <vitin_> stop stop!!!
[19:32] <vitin_> how can i get another msn?
[19:32] <hot_rod_hippie> marco: true, i get what you're after now, but i'm not aware of how to do that
[19:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !kernel > Neo_The_User
[19:32] <NaPsTeR> omnydevi: it says: Identifier     "Configured Video Device"
[19:32] <Neo_The_User> Jack, no
[19:32] <icesword> root__, open your port 22, lol
[19:32] <omnydevi> NaPsTeR - thats it?
[19:32] <Neo_The_User> I know what a kernel is Jack
[19:32] <b1gbawx> ever since i selected x windows to not load on startup my usb external harddrive wont load while in x. how to i set it to load usb once x loads
[19:33] <marco> hot_rod_hippie: thanks. Any idea where I can find decent documentation on the subject?
[19:33] <Neo_The_User> I wrote some kernel fixes
[19:33] <armornick> hey guys, I need some peptalk. I am convinced that ubuntu is a pretty good distro, but everywhere on the net, everyone says ubuntu is for noobs, and canonical is evil, and arch and debian are much better, etc. Can anyone please give me some heads up?
[19:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Neo_The_User, You are offtopic, please stopo
[19:33] <Guest16722> vitin_: Do a google for Pidgin or Empathy
[19:33] <NaPsTeR> omnydevi: so wat must i do?
[19:33] <Neo_The_User> it's a support question. I can't find the LTS kernel config
[19:33] <tgpraveen> armornick: canonical is definteley nor evil
[19:33] <vitin_> empathy
[19:33] <robile> does anyone know a plugin for xmms to show the available playlists in an extra window or so?
[19:33] <omnydevi> NaPsTeR - where it says Configured Video Device" put the cursor on the last double quote
[19:33] <icesword> armornick, mhm, you will get a lot of fun if you uses debian sid, lol
[19:33] <marco> vitin_: Or just use Windows' MSN, I'm not aware of any linux client which has webcam support, if that's what you are after
[19:33] <omnydevi> device" <---there
[19:34] <tgpraveen> armornick: it is the best for new users
[19:34] <omnydevi> as far right as it will go
[19:34] <it_croud> b1gbawx Debian is for linux masters
[19:34] <omnydevi> only using the arrow keys
[19:34] <NaPsTeR> omnydevi: k
[19:34] <Guest16722> vitin_: sudo apt-get install empathy
[19:34] <armornick> that's the thing, I am not a new user anymore (or so I believe)
[19:34] <omnydevi> then hit A on your keyboard
[19:34] <omnydevi> then hit enter
[19:34] <tgpraveen> armornick: arch and debian is very difficult as compared to ubuntu
[19:34] <it_croud> b1gbawx ubuntu  is for linux noobs or people with not much free time
[19:34] <tgpraveen> armornick: well then u could give arch a try if u dont mind
[19:34] <omnydevi> then type
[19:34] <tgpraveen> having to do a lot of
[19:34] <Jack_Sparrow> it_croud, Not true at all.
[19:35] <omnydevi> DRIVER       "VESA"
[19:35] <tgpraveen> \commmand line work getting it installed
[19:35] <Guest16722> tgpraveen: Ubuntu - an African word meaning "unable to configure Debian" :-)
[19:35] <it_croud> b1gbawx Debian unstable is for linux masters surely
[19:35] <omnydevi> NaPsTeR - tell me when you got that :D
[19:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > Guest16722
[19:35] <levi84> heya, happy new year, could somebody give me some help on: printer server and some samba stuff? ty (1st time linux user)
[19:35] <marco> it_croud: I use unstable on my laptop, and I'm just a lowly power user
[19:35] <NaPsTeR> omnydevi: done
[19:35] <omnydevi> keen
[19:35] <omnydevi> hit ESC
[19:35] <omnydevi> then
[19:35] <tgpraveen> Guest16722: and debian means " couldnt compile gentoo"
[19:35] <omnydevi> :w
[19:35] <FloodBot2> omnydevi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:35] <it_croud> Ubuntu - an African word meaning "unable to configure Debian" :-) ha haha :-)
[19:35] <omnydevi> then
[19:35] <omnydevi> :q
[19:35] <Guest16722> Jack_Sparrow: What was that for?
[19:36] <Jack_Sparrow> tgpraveen, Stop thanks
[19:36] <yellabs> nice joke, however ubuntu = a configured debian
[19:36] <omnydevi> then startx and see what happens
[19:36] <Laderius> Need some help: I installed 8.04 afer my raid drive was not supported in 8.10(kept dropping to shell) now im trying to update and im getting an error when i use the tool to updat the error is (E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.24-22-generic_2.6.24-22.45_i386.deb: short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./lib/modules/2.6.24-22-generic/kernel/net/decnet/decnet.ko')
[19:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest16722  because you are offtopic. this is support
[19:36] <Mimi> actually  Jack_Sparrow , that doesnt say anything how to make it work on all applications, as It did... I guess Ill just install Ubuntu on a virtual machine and steal the config file (whereever that is :P )   and put it on my current installation ^^ thank you though , like i said, ive been trying for months
[19:36] <it_croud> yes configured by canonical ....
[19:36] <tgpraveen> armornick: only benefit of arch is rolling release but then stability and testing benefits goes
[19:36] <NaPsTeR> omnydevi: wat u mean :w, q
[19:36] <it_croud> not by the user
[19:36] <omnydevi> :w will save the file
[19:36] <it_croud> for the user
[19:36] <omnydevi> :q will exit vi
[19:37] <it_croud> :q! will force to quit
[19:37] <Guest16722> Jack_Sparrow: It was a single comment - it's not off topic, however this drawn-out set of remarks about it is.  End. :-)
[19:37] <omnydevi> after you hit ESC :)
[19:37] <armornick> I think I'm staying with ubuntu, because I like to use my pc as soon as I've installed an OS (which Debian and Arch don't seem to be good at)
[19:37] <omnydevi> we want to save before we force quit
[19:37] <tgpraveen> hey guys does anyone know of a way to make my nokia n73 cell work as a webcam in ubuntu.
[19:37] <armornick> btw, how does Canonical make money anyways?
[19:37] <tgpraveen> i know a prog for this in windows
[19:37] <it_croud> yes after esc ok
[19:37] <tgpraveen> but in ubuntu?
[19:37] <endeavormac> can i enable xdmcd from the command line?
[19:38] <omnydevi> when you get back to the terminal type "startx" without quotes
[19:38] <vitin_> how i install the msn on ubuntu?
[19:38] <tgpraveen> armornick: support is its main revenue stream.probably some companies like dell might be paying not sure
[19:38] <icesword> !amsn
[19:38] <yellabs> Laderius , have you tried apt-get update and / or setting different mirrors from where you get the packages?
[19:38] <icesword> !info amsn
[19:38] <omnydevi> if anyone can help NaPsTeR from here, I have to take my son to a dr appointment. sorry NaPsTeR, i gotta run mate
[19:38] <armornick> vitin, apt-get install amsn
[19:38] <tgpraveen> armornick: and also donations. but canonical is loosing money only.it doesnt profit
[19:38] <omnydevi> be back in a hourish or so
[19:38] <Laderius> yelllabs, I have yet to try that
[19:38] <NaPsTeR> omnydevi: ummm...think we've gone from bad 2 worse. now i have a cross in the middles of the screen and like a sorta grey background with lines
[19:38] <armornick> what would happen if canonical ever goes bankrupt?
[19:39] <vitin_> how can i install the msn on ubuntu?!?
[19:39] <tgpraveen> armornick: it is not likely mark is rich enugh ;-)
[19:39] <icesword> vitin_, sudo apt-get install amsn
[19:39] <Jack_Sparrow> vitin, ask in winehq or install vbox etc
[19:39] <tgpraveen> hey guys does anyone know of a way to make my nokia n73 cell work as a webcam in ubuntu.
[19:39] <tgpraveen> 	<tgpraveen>	i know a prog for this in windows
[19:39] <comradekingu> vitin_: Or use pidgin
[19:39] <marco> vitln_:you can't. The official MSN Messenger client is only officialy avaliable for Windows systems
[19:39] <yellabs> vitin_ you can use pidgin with msn
[19:40] <marco> vitln_:as the other users said, you can use alternatives, but they aren't likely to support all the features of the offical client
[19:40] <racquad> hi guys, I have a doubt about using evolution with spamassassin and IMAP.
[19:40] <yellabs> its in applications . internet / pidgin
[19:40] <racquad> How can I configure evolution to scan my IMAP messages for spam?
[19:40] <yellabs> just setup the account
[19:40] <armornick> I think amsn comes closest to the official msn client
[19:40] <Laderius> yellabs, i 'sudo apt-get update' and now it says its done and is back at a prompt whats next?
[19:40] <sliggy> hey everyone
[19:41] <Jack_Sparrow> NaPsTeR, Please restate your question and what has been done so far
[19:41] <vitin_> so i need to use pidgin only?
[19:41] <tgpraveen> last time i am asking
[19:41] <yellabs> try again the install you wanted
[19:41] <tgpraveen> hey guys does anyone know of a way to make my nokia n73 cell work as a webcam in ubuntu.
[19:41] <SiVA_> can someone help me create a new wifi connection?
[19:41] <Laderius> yellabs, says i have 3 broken packages :/
[19:41] <yellabs> vitin_ give it an try setup msn
[19:41] <vitin_> i can use other one?
[19:41] <armornick> tgpraveen, I know it's unlikely, but ultimately, is canonical the owner of ubuntu or is it a community effort
[19:41] <psycose> i, i look for some help using conduit to sync two folders on 2 ubuntu intrepid on a LAN, the local sync of 2 folders on 1 system works ... thanks
[19:41] <SiVA_> iwlist shows me the device is working and I can scan to find my router
[19:41] <SiVA_> so I know it's working
[19:41] <marco> vitln_: no, you can use others, which may or may not support more of the messenger protocol. Pidgin is quite popular though
[19:41] <comradekingu> tpgraveen: what is the windows program called?
[19:41] <yellabs> Laderius, do you have an desktop running?
[19:41] <NaPsTeR> i ran an automatic update and now when i run my pc it doesn't start up properly, i don't have taskbars and i can't do anything...can any1 help?
[19:41] <Laderius> yellabs, Yes
[19:41] <tgpraveen> armornick: combination of both
[19:42] <SiVA_> but the wifi router doesn't come up in the network gui tool
[19:42] <Jack_Sparrow> armornick, community
[19:42] <yellabs> Laderius, you can use synaptic to fix the packages
[19:42] <tgpraveen> there are few conanoical employees also
[19:42] <sliggy> I'm trying to get Ubuntu to connect to an OS X server via LDAP, so I got everything configured based on the guide on help.ubuntu.com, and I can see all of the LDAP users when I type 'getent passwd' but I can't login as them at the login prompt. Does anyone know how I could solve this?
[19:42] <racquad> How can I configure evolution to scan my IMAP messages for spam?
[19:42] <yellabs> Laderius, filter for broken packages
[19:42] <hot_rod_hippie> marco: i don't know where to look.  there is a program in the repos called Mount Manager, but I haven't done anything with it (sounds like a graphical tool for /etc/fstab)
[19:42] <armornick> so if canonical would ever stop working on ubuntu, the community could just take over?
[19:42] <tgpraveen> comradekingu: will have  to check but
[19:42] <Laderius> yelllabs, doning it now, the package is the linux image one
[19:42] <sliggy> armornick: yes
[19:42] <tgpraveen> how willl that help
[19:42] <tgpraveen> cant run it in wine
[19:43] <ASULutzy> armornick: this is an Ubuntu support channel, that's offtopic.

[19:45] <Laderius> yellabs, what could be causing the error thios is the package that is broken (linux-image-2.6.24-22-generic (version 2.6.24-22.45) will be installed)

[19:45] <Wyhiwyl> levi84: what about 2.x?
[19:46] <Jack_Sparrow> marabout,  You can try this..  TO force vesa mode: At start or install press F6 and remove quiet splash and add these xmodule=vesa xdrvr=vesa, res=1024x768
[19:46] <yellabs> Laderius, hold on, ...

[19:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask
[19:49] <yellabs> from 3 on
[19:49] <Ninja_> or check hardware but it sounds complex

[19:49] <AnaisCareMaiz> It says this on the apps chart when I try to install opera, doesnt even let me check it. Weird because I used it before on this same machine on Ubuntu 8.04 too, how can I fix it?: Opera cannot be installed on your computer type (amd64). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type.
[19:49] <Jack_Sparrow> marabout, escape should
[19:50] <levi84> Wyhiwyl: i know that only from v3.0 can read, don't know past version witch could read .xdoc
[19:50] <zleap1> xdoc or docx
[19:50] <zleap1> i think 2.4.1 could read docx
[19:50] <sliggy> Ninja_ I'm guessing you've had no luck finding a solution to that either, I've been searching around for days
[19:51] <Ninja_> yeah very sorry i can't help but that is not a field that iam good in
[19:51] <Jack_Sparrow> marabout, To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"..   is my general suggestion
[19:51] <sliggy> Ninja_ do you know of a good place to ask that, I've tried the Ubuntu forums but nobody responds
[19:51] <yellabs> AnaisCareMaiz for opera 64 bit http://www.opera.com/browser/download/?os=linux-x86-64&list=all

[20:09] <aberratic> xang, thanks, I now know that it comes with the librsvg bin packages
[20:09] <Laderius> now that i installed medibuntu, how do i see whats avaible?
[20:09] <jose__> I have recently been exposed to Ubuntu because of loading Xubuntu on an Ancient Pentium 2 Gateway and rescuing it.  In fact, it's how I'm on IRC roght now
[20:09] <blutrille> anyone have experience working with customization of the boot process for live 8.10?
[20:10] <macman_> so guess what you guys .. i just did a test .. i downloaded some random wmv off of the INTERNET to my desktop and it is playing

[20:10] <macman_> WyHiWyL, you there ?
[20:10] <pyrak> it won't let me choose the correct private key
[20:10] <WyHiWyL> macman_: $ file /path/to/.wmvfile tell what exactly the filetype is, i think maybe it's not .wmv really
[20:10] <lacita> I can't get the sound working on my Lenovo 3000 Y410. I have tried updating to the latest drivers, and altering the alsa_base file... It just won't work...
[20:11] <jose__> my question for this forum is this:how do I know when I should install Ubuntu, as opposed to Xubuntu on a laptop PC my friend has given up on.  what are the minimum specs for it to be comfortably usable, or is it better to stick with Xubuntu?
[20:11] <macman_> WyHiWyL, /home/macman/Desktop/twlight.wmv: Microsoft ASF

[20:13] <jose__> tgpraveen: I don't have them on me, it's why I wanted to know the minimum specs for running it comfortably
[20:13] <blutrille> Anyone have experience customizing Live 8.10 boot process ... dont want to boot to the ubuntu account ... would rather system boot to a user login screen .... any help?
[20:13] <tgpraveen> i think for ubuntu its 384mb ram
[20:13] <phobiac> I'm having a problem with installing linux on my netbook, the install works fine up until the partitioning of the hard drive. The installation doesn't auto detect the driver for the hd, and I have no idea what driver to use. The drive is a Toshiba MK6028GAL ATA device, according to windows. Any one know what driver I should use or where I can find out?
[20:14] <yellabs> lacita : i hope you are not afraid to read Lenovo 3000 Y410

[20:16] <blutrille> evowill_: ok thx ill look into it
[20:16] <yellabs> lacita , you also treid to select an other sound system like oss?
[20:16] <marabout> Jack_Sparrow: can you tell me what "live vga=771" means?
[20:16] <WyHiWyL> macman_: you can use ffmpeg to convert
[20:16] <Kristoffer> can anyone help me with a software question?
[20:16] <Jack_Sparrow> mylogic, Try #ubuntu+1
[20:16] <_Zeus_> How can I install a tgz from launchpad source?

[20:16] <yellabs> lacita , in system / preferences / sound?
[20:16] <lacita> yellabs, I had it working with alsa before.
[20:16] <torc> is there a way to access my Wine folder (linux) from Windows?

[20:17] <WyHiWyL> macman_: are you trying to play or convert the file?

[20:17] <yellabs> lacita , in system / preferences / sound? take an look anyway, to see if its set to alsa
[20:17] <NOHELL> LOLOLOOL http://ptlancer.freehostia.com/ .
[20:17] <Jack_Sparrow> _Zeus_  It is still way better to stick to the official repos
[20:17] <lacita> yellabs, no. the test fails
[20:17] <yellabs> i see
[20:17] <torc> what are some excellent sound/video file conversion software for linux?
[20:17] <_Zeus_> Jack_Sparrow: I know how to do it like that, there is no configure file
[20:17] <_Zeus_> and make or make install does nothing
[20:17] <pop79> wat is new with the 9.04 development release?
[20:17] <lacita> yellabs, yes, also is selected, but OSS doesn't work either.
[20:17] <WyHiWyL> why don't you play it frist and tell me if it works?
[20:18] <torc> is there a way to access my Wine folder (linux) from Windows?

[20:18] <macman_> WyHiWyL, it won't i get an error .. "ProcessInputError "
[20:18] <Jack_Sparrow> _Zeus_  Then it isnt something I would trust to  install on my machine
[20:18] <omaruko> hi
[20:18] <marco> Some dvds written on Vista are not opening on my ubuntu box, it seems to be an UDF issue. Anyone knows anything about this?
[20:18] <_Zeus_> it's from launchpad.net
[20:18] <omaruko> i need help
[20:18] <hwilde> torc, Linux can read and write ntfs, so move your files from linux to windows that way
[20:18] <hwilde> !ntfs > torc
[20:18] <hwilde> omaruko, ask your question, if you can in one line
[20:18] <omaruko> i think that i have problems to run compiz fusion
[20:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Kristoffer, Put it into a spreadsheet..
[20:18] <hwilde> !compiz > omaruko
[20:19] <meho_> Kristoffer: use the one u used up till now but use it aling side wine and its going to be like propper
[20:19] <aberratic> where can I get a python2.5.pc pkg-config file?
[20:19] <hwilde> marco, why do you say some?  some work then?
[20:19] <DustBunnies> Maybe I'm a huge noob, but when I tell my computer to use Ubuntu (I duel boot with XP) it starts up with a GRUB Command Line Interface and I don't know what commands to type to start a GUI
[20:19] <mylogic> Kristoffer: http://webscripts.softpedia.com/script/Portal-Systems/Human-Resources-3500.html
[20:19] <Kristoffer> meho it actually crashes under wine
[20:19] <WyHiWyL> macman_: in this situation, i dont know how to fix you prob, maybe your file is damaged. sorry!
[20:19] <hwilde> DustBunnies,  what does the command line prompt say
[20:19] <MariachiAC> Hello. I just have a quick question. I use ubuntu with the orca screen reader. why does the Ubuntu community choose pulseaduio over alsa?
[20:19] <macman_> hmm.. cool WyHiWyL thanks
[20:20] <hwilde> !alsa > MariachiAC
[20:20] <hwilde> !pulse > MariachiAC
[20:20] <marco> hwilde: yes, it seems vista writes in good ole' ISO9660 and the UDF thing. The UDF thing seems to be incompatible with my ubuntu box
[20:20] <yellabs> lacita , i am looking around a bit to see if i can come up with an answer
[20:20] <DustBunnies> I didn't copy down the text that is at the top, but it is something about press TAB for a list of options, it doesn't state what command to start the GUI I think
[20:20] <DustBunnies> Its grub>
[20:20] <hwilde> marco, but you said "some" so some of them work?
[20:20] <WyHiWyL> macman_: maybe you should try $ffmpeg -i /path/to/file and tell me the result
[20:20] <hwilde> DustBunnies, did you try just hitting enter?
[20:21] <DustBunnies> hitting enter just put grub> again
[20:21] <omaruko> :S
[20:21] <omaruko> some body help
[20:21] <WyHiWyL> macman_: the command will show you more details about the file
[20:21] <DustBunnies> But then again, I've typed help and used tab before I press entered to try to figure it out
[20:21] <hwilde> DustBunnies, well just ytpe in "boot"
[20:21] <macman_> ok
[20:21] <DustBunnies> hmm I guess I'll try that, I asked another ubuntu user and he said startx (which didn't work)
[20:21] <icesword> DustBunnies, restate it
[20:21] <tgpraveen> omaruko: detail your problems
[20:22] <yellabs> lacita , last try for you , http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=N_Series_Lenovo_3000&message.id=2131

[20:22] <hwilde> DustBunnies, you are at the Grub boot loader, it hasn't loaded any OS yet
[20:22] <tgpraveen> omaruko: describe what exactly is the prob
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> marabout, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers
[20:22] <tgpraveen> bye everyone
[20:22] <hwilde> DustBunnies, also you should never be seeing that prompt.  what changed on your computer
[20:22] <yellabs> lacita , i hope you can get it working, got to go now, its late
[20:22] <DustBunnies> Nothing

[20:22] <yellabs> bye all
[20:22] <MariachiAC> ok thank you.
[20:22] <DustBunnies> then I decided to use ubuntu
[20:22] <DustBunnies> so I burned a CD
[20:22] <DustBunnies> I installed it
[20:22] <FloodBot2> DustBunnies: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:22] <hwilde> !enter > DustBunnies
[20:23] <StuckMojo> how the fook do you actually completely disable POS pulseaudio in 8.10???
[20:23] <hwilde> !attitude > StuckMojo
[20:23] <hwilde> !alsa > StuckMojo
[20:23] <Laderius> now that i installed medibuntu, how do i see whats avaible?
[20:23] <hwilde> DustBunnies, try just typing "boot" if you could
[20:23] <hwilde> !medibuntu | Laderius
[20:23] <DustBunnies> I will, thank you. I'll restart and try that
[20:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Laderius, Browse with synaptic, but they are not differenciated from the other programs on opther repos
[20:24] <macman_> WyHiWyL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/100554/
[20:24] <Laderius> Jack_Sparrow thanks
[20:24] <marco> hwilde: Yes. the ones written using ISO9660 seem to work fine. Only the ones using UDF seem to be incompatible
[20:24] <Laderius> also, is there a ubuntu port for utorrent?
[20:24] <pop79> what is the pastebin?
[20:24] <StuckMojo> hwilde: the only way i was able to get it to turn off, despite trying all the methods on the forums, was to change /usr/bin/pulseaudio to a symlink to /bin/true
[20:24] <marabout> Jack_Sparrow: oh snap! 771 is for a 800x600 display whereas mine is a 1280x800 I hope I can rectify this later. thoughts...
[20:24] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[20:25] <Jack_Sparrow> marabout, So you got that link
[20:25] <StuckMojo> hwilde: which gets overwritten every time the pulse packages get upgraded
[20:25] <MariachiAC> So I woudl hasve ot stay with pulse audio thten. It just seems a bit slow with speech as far as thats concerned.
[20:25] <hwilde> StuckMojo, if you are really sure that's what you want to do....    sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio
[20:25] <yellabs> macman ffmpeg -i nameinputfile nameoutputfile
[20:25] <marabout> Jack_Sparrow: yes thanx should have acknowledged that
[20:25] <hwilde> marco, there are posts all over about your problem and it sounds like a Vista issue.  ubuntu can obviously read dvds
[20:25] <StuckMojo> hwilde: for some reason gnome-session starts it even if you've got disabled in /etc/X11/Xsession.d
[20:25] <Jack_Sparrow> marabout, np
[20:26] <hwilde> StuckMojo, not if you remove --purge it.
[20:26] <StuckMojo> hwilde: yeah problem with that is about 40 packages in gnome depend on it
[20:26] <yellabs> macman ffmpeg --help
[20:26] <conterpro> hi, i seek tried usb-phone for skype (Linux ubu 8.10). pls reference
[20:26] <StuckMojo> hwilde: well...actually it's only the metapackage ubuntu-desktop
[20:27] <StuckMojo> hwilde: but removing that will screw up upgrades and such
[20:27] <marco> hwilde: it can read DVDs of a specific format. It is incompatible with newer UDF DVDs because no one seems to bother about making linux distros compatible to them. Or at least that's what I found from google.
[20:27] <macman_> yellabs, WyHiWyL .. there is a lot of disabled options ie .. --disable-armv5te --disable-armv6
[20:27] <StuckMojo> hwilde: running pulse screws up my mixer, which is why i don't want it. my card processes multiple streams just fine, i don't need a sound server
[20:28] <yellabs> macman sorry mate, its man ffmpeg
[20:28] <yellabs> to see help\
[20:28] <hwilde> StuckMojo, I have told you how to remove it completely if that's what you want to do
[20:28] <mogi22> where does samba store user/pw info?
[20:29] <hwilde> marco, http://ascending.wordpress.com/2008/06/14/howto-read-vista-burnt-udf-dvds-on-ubuntu-linux/
[20:29] <WyHiWyL> yellabs: he only want to see the information about the file
[20:29] <yellabs> oh
[20:29] <yellabs> hehe
[20:29] <StuckMojo> hwilde: i'd just like to find out the proper way to tell the system i don't want to use it. removing it completely causes dependency issues
[20:29] <StuckMojo> hwilde: but thanks
[20:29] <LordDicranius> when viewing the routing table via CLI, what does an asterisk mean unde the gateway column?
[20:30] <hwilde> StuckMojo, read the link from ubottu about alsa.  it explains how to set alsa as the default
[20:30] <hwilde> !alsa > StuckMojo
[20:30] <WyHiWyL> macman_: you download this file from internet? if so, i think the process is not successful, because the duration is very short, just about 5secs
[20:30] <hwilde> LordDicranius, usually all you really need to look for is the one that says "default" that is your default gateway
[20:30] <marabout> Jack_Sparrow: made it to "Select and install software" so far - "configuring language-pack-en-base"
[20:30] <macman_> ok
[20:30] <Jack_Sparrow> marabout, great..  well done dude
[20:31] <yellabs> WyHiWyL, i guess my concentration is getting low, better turn in, thanks for the remark
[20:31] <LordDicranius> hwilde: thanks, I know, but I was just wondering what an asterisk means :)
[20:31] <macman_> i will re-download
[20:31] <macman_> :D

[20:32] <hwilde> LordDicranius, it means "all".  those lines with the stars really differentiate subnet traffic and interfaces
[20:32] <memenotyou> how do I give a user sudo privledges from the command line?
[20:33] <marco> hwilde: thanks. Weird they didn't integrate the support in the main kernel yet, isn't it? Surely is making a lot of users confused...
[20:33] <hwilde> memenotyou, the user has to be added to the admin group
[20:33] <djolefol> Is there a way in Evolution mail client to password protect the message pane of imap account? Like presented in here: http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/tips#beh_imappassword
[20:33] <macman_> bbs
[20:33] <memenotyou> hwilde:  how do I do that from the command line?
[20:33] <hwilde> marco, i dunno, you can ask in ubuntu+1 if it's on target for hte next release
[20:34] <hwilde> memenotyou, add the username to the admin: line in the file /etc/group
[20:36] <Jaison> Hello peeps
[20:38] <Jaison> noone here I guess?
[20:38] <ericjung> i installed ibex from windows and now hibernate in Ubuntu doesn't work (as expected). Is there any way to get it to work?
[20:38] <Jaison> noone is answering
[20:38] <user_> !ask | Jaison
[20:39] <marabout> Jack_Sparrow: I thought this would reboot to a gui  but it appears to be a terminal "To run a command as administrator (user "root") use "sudo <command>." See man sudo_root" for details."  ~$   What  happened?
[20:39] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: see, we all met in the channel where we really answer questions, and said "nobody answer his questions"
[20:39] <WyHiWyL> imp_mstr: maybe your swap partition is too small, it must be at least equal the RAM
[20:40] <Jaison> I just hello I was trying to be polite
[20:40] <aws> hola como andan saludos desde argentina!!!!!
[20:40] <marco>  hello Jaison, how can we be of help?
[20:40] <WyHiWyL> ericjung: maybe your swap partition is too small, it must be at least equal the RAM
[20:40] <gandyman> Hi - Getting error " can't mount volume " - Have another NTFS windows hard drive installed in this computer - any idea's ? ?
[20:40] <IndyGunFreak> WyHiWyL: you can have no swap file if you like, its not required
[20:40] <aws> hi people!!!!!!
[20:40] <Bodsda> gandyman, does it give a reason?
[20:40] <Jaison> but my question is how can I save my nvidia config settings it want let me
[20:41] <Jack_Sparrow> marabout, May I pm you
[20:41] <aws> alguien habla español?
[20:41] <gandyman> Bodsda; hang on - will go try again.
[20:41] <WyHiWyL> IndyGunFreak: it's required for suspend or hibernate
[20:41] <sinbox> !es
[20:41] <IndyGunFreak> WyHiWyL: ah, i didn't see this was about suspend.
[20:41] <unr3a1> evowill_: thank you
[20:41] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: do you have the restricted driver enabled?
[20:41] <aws> gracias
[20:41] <marabout> Jack_Sparrow: yes by all means
[20:41] <Jaison> how do I tell that
[20:42] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: system/admin/hardware drivers
[20:42] <mgolisch> why doesnt the gentoo coreutils patch apply to ubuntu coreutils?
[20:42] <ericjung> WyHiWyL: how can i find my swap partition size?
[20:42] <WyHiWyL> $ sudo fdisk -l
[20:42] <mgolisch> even if i use the patch for whatever version the sourcepackage of coreutils claims to be
[20:42] <ericjung> WyHiWyL: I don't think there is a swap partition then
[20:42] <hwilde> ericjung, cat /proc/swaps
[20:43] <Jaison> its says proprietary drivers are being used and I have version 173
[20:43] <user_> mgolisch: maybe ubuntu version is also a patched upstream version?
[20:43] <ericjung> eric@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/swaps
[20:43] <ericjung> Filename				Type		Size	Used	Priority
[20:43] <WyHiWyL> $ sudo fdisk -l | grep swap
[20:43] <hwilde> ericjung, ok then you have no swap.
[20:43] <hwilde> ericjung, you should also not find it in /etc/fstab
[20:43] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: ok, so open a terminal and type "gksudo nvidia-settings"... make the chanes, apply, then "save to configuration file"
[20:43] <mgolisch> user_: even if i try to apply to that tar_orig thing which if i understand correctly is the unpatched upstream source, or should atleast be
[20:43] <ericjung> hwilde: /prc/swaps shows a swap but fdisk -l does not
[20:44] <WyHiWyL> ericjung: so if you have no swap, then you cannot suspend or hibernate
[20:44] <hwilde> ericjung, is the swap partition set to be mounted in /etc/fstab
[20:44] <mgolisch> very weird, i want cp -g so bad
[20:44] <mgolisch> :)
[20:44] <gandyman> Bodsda; hey - Funny thing - It's working now - Thanks anyway. - Must have had to let permissions come through or something.
[20:44] <Jaison> ok so run this app in as root and it will change it
[20:44] <Bodsda> gandyman, oh, cool :)
[20:44] <ericjung> hwilde: yes, it is in fstab
[20:45] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: it should, as long asyou "save to configuration file"
[20:45] <marco> how can I download the source code from a specific package? Can I use APT tools to do that?
[20:45] <ASULutzy> ericjung: you can just do sudo swapon -s to show your swap
[20:45] <Jaison> do I need the gk cuz ive been using just sudo
[20:45] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: yes, sudo is for CLI, if you're running GUI apps, you need gksudo
[20:45] <IndyGunFreak> !gksudo | Jaison
[20:45] <ericjung> ASULutzy: it says /host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk            file		976552	4952	-1
[20:45] <ASULutzy> ericjung: If it doesn't return anything, you can also use swapon to assign a partition for use as swap, for example if /dev/sda6 is a swap partition then sudo swapon /dev/sda6 would tell the OS to use /dev/sda6 for swap
[20:46] <ericjung> i have a swap file
[20:46] <ericjung> that isn't the problem
[20:46] <ericjung> it is 976552 in size, whatever that means
[20:46] <ericjung> but i have 4GB of ram
[20:46] <ASULutzy> ericjung: Why are you using a swap file and not a swap partition?
[20:47] <Jaison> ok thanks all alot guys I appreciate the knowledge cuz today is only my second day with linux
[20:47] <ericjung> ASULutzy: I took ubuntu installation defaults
[20:47] <ericjung> ASULutzy: it installed inside Windows Vista
[20:47] <ericjung> ASULutzy: and now I cann't hibernate Ubuntu
[20:47] <ASULutzy> ericjung: Oh. You're using Wubi
[20:47] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[20:47] <ericjung> ASULutzy: yes
[20:47]  * IndyGunFreak growls.. dang wubi users.. never tell anyone that
[20:47] <ASULutzy> ericjung: Do a real install IMO ;)
[20:47] <Laderius> Hey Iphone and Ubuntu help is found where?
[20:48] <ericjung> ASULutzy: wubi is not ubuntu?
[20:48] <gurps1> what the hell is wubi?
[20:48] <Laderius> wubi is windows based ubuntu install
[20:48] <ericjung> wubi is a star wars character
[20:48] <Laderius> Wubi (Windows-based Ubuntu Installer) is an official Windows-based free software installer for Ubuntu, licensed under the GPL.
[20:49] <gurps1> What are its advantages?
[20:49] <Laderius> nothing
[20:49] <Laderius> there are disadvantages
[20:49] <Laderius> like you have a windows poartition
[20:49] <Laderius> partition*
[20:49] <Laderius> and you can use your entire HDD
[20:49] <Laderius> because of the ntfs filesystem
[20:50] <bLuE_AciD> Hello
[20:50] <gurps1> Okay..thanks
[20:50] <Laderius> gurps1 np
[20:50] <ASULutzy> There are no real advantages to using Wubi, other than some people don't want to try to setup a dualboot. There are myriad disadvantages. I would suggest doing a proper dual boot
[20:50] <Laderius> I need iphone ubuntu help!
[20:50] <ericjung> can wubi install by migrated to a real install, or must i start over?
[20:50] <bLuE_AciD> FOr whoever asked what wubi was, its a installer for ubuntu, it just is installed from windows if you don't have a disk, and it doesnt make a new partition which blows
[20:50] <gurps1> Im going to install Ubuntu onto my desktop PC,currently running windows xp, how to i go about dual booting?
[20:50] <IndyGunFreak> i think you have to start over...
[20:50] <ericjung> IndyGunFreak: no!!!
[20:50] <bLuE_AciD> Gurps
[20:50] <ASULutzy> ericjung: To answer your original question, I'm not sure you can actually hibernate with Wubi
[20:50] <gurps1> yes
[20:50] <bLuE_AciD> I recommend not dual booting
[20:51] <hwilde> gurps1, just stick in the live c and it should prompt you through it
[20:51] <bLuE_AciD> But if you want to
[20:51] <ASULutzy> ericjung: And that might not be true
[20:51] <IndyGunFreak> !dualboot | gurps1
[20:51] <hwilde> !enter | bLuE_AciD
[20:51] <ASULutzy> ericjung: You may be able to migrate a wubi install
[20:51] <unr3a1> how can one make ubuntu able to recognize the UDF filesystem type?
[20:51] <IndyGunFreak> ASULutzy: i've never heard of migratiung one.. that would be entertaining
[20:51] <bLuE_AciD> !Sorry | hwilde
[20:51] <ASULutzy> ericjung, IndyGunFreak: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html
[20:52] <gurps1> hwilde: The live cd will prompt me through what exactly?
[20:52] <rainabba> I'm having an odd problem. "System Monitor" says that I'm only using 777MB RAM of the 7.8GB I have total, but "free -m" says I'm using 4614. Why the discrepancy? I am runnign hardy x86_64.
[20:52] <bLuE_AciD> Gurps, just use wubi if you going to dual boot, really no point in a disk.
[20:52] <IndyGunFreak> ASULutzy: hmm, maybe not as bad as i thought... never heard of LVPM..
[20:52] <user_> unr3a1: in which context?
[20:52] <ASULutzy> bLuE_AciD: You're wrong. Don't spread misinformation.
[20:52] <hwilde> gurps1, it will show your partitions and how much free space on your drive, then show how much ubuntu will take up next to win, then it will setup the dual boot and everyhitng.
[20:53] <unr3a1> I need to burn an ISO to a CD
[20:53] <Jaison> Since the convo is on duel booting, I have upgrade my kernel to 2.6.27-9-generic but still have 2.3.27.7 in grub how do I clean that up
[20:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Blue-Omega, Wrong.. very wrong
[20:53] <hwilde> Jaison, /boot/grub/menu.list
[20:53] <hwilde> Jack_Sparrow, last-spoke not alphabetical tab complete :)
[20:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Blue_acid, Wrong.. very wrong
[20:53] <ASULutzy> Jaison: Grub automatically generates the menu.lst based on what it sees. Everytime you upgrade it will readd those entries, even if you manually remove them from menu.lst
[20:53] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[20:53] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst    and put a # sign in front of the entries you don't want in your grub menu (i woudln't recommend deleting them)
[20:53] <ASULutzy> Jaison: I would recommend just not bothering, but if you really want to clean them up you'll have to actually go about uninstalling the old kernels
[20:54] <Laderius> how can i transfer apps to my iphone in ubuntu without itunes?!
[20:54] <IndyGunFreak> ASULutzy: you can comment them out no problem at all.. and they won't show up
[20:54] <Jaison> So Is that safe
[20:54] <user_> unr3a1: i think you you can right click on the iso file in the file manager and start up a burn program.. it will detect the burner and the medium
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> Laderius: you coul copy the install files over
[20:54] <hwilde> Jaison, just ignoring them is safe.
[20:54] <gurps1> hwilde: Thank you very much indeed!!
[20:54] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: what?.. commenting them out?..of course, its safe ignoring them to.. i just wouldn't recommend deleting them.
[20:54] <ASULutzy> IndyGunFreak: But when you install a new kernel, Grub will go ahead and readd them unless you remove them, right?
[20:54] <rainabba> I'm having an odd problem. "System Monitor" says that I'm only using 777MB RAM of the 7.8GB I have total, but "free -m" says I'm using 4614. Why the discrepancy? I am runnign hardy x86_64.
[20:54] <Jaison> IM OCD its hard
[20:54] <Jack_Sparrow> hwilde, Looking for that option in xchat as we speak
[20:55] <IndyGunFreak> ASULutzy: once i comment my old ones out, they never show up again
[20:55] <Jaison> I will comment them out
[20:55] <Jack_Sparrow> hwilde,got it
[20:55] <ASULutzy> IndyGunFreak: You may be right, I just never bother to remove them :)
[20:55] <IndyGunFreak> ASULutzy: lol
[20:55] <BBonifield> i'm attempting to mount a RAID-5 array into Ubuntu(from a live CD).  The original RAID host was a stand-alone file server unit.  however, Ubuntu isn't recognizing the disks in /dev/.  thoughts?
[20:55] <hajmola> is there a way to have a live USB pendrive, so that I can boot a computer off of it and install ubuntu onto the local harddrive?
[20:55] <hwilde> Jack_Sparrow, should be default u know
[20:55] <Laderius> ActionParsnip the IPA files?
[20:55] <gogereaver> hajmola yes
[20:55] <usr13> rainabba: Are you new to linux?
[20:55] <Jack_Sparrow> hwilde, Should have been, this is a fresh ibex, and it wasnt
[20:55] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: just put a # sign in front of the "Title" you don't want to appear, then save and exit.
[20:56] <ASULutzy> hajmola: Yes, Intrepid actually has a built in tool to make a live-usb
[20:56] <gogereaver> on 8.10 in the menu slect make bottable usb drive easy
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> Laderius: i guess, i dont use iphone but id imagine it can be done
[20:56] <hajmola> ASULutzy, really? where at?
[20:56] <gogereaver> hajmola the system menu if i rember
[20:56] <ASULutzy> hajmola: System -> Administration -> Create a USB startup disk
[20:56] <hwilde> Jack_Sparrow, alphabet is default
[20:57] <hajmola> ASULutzy, gogereaver, thanks!
[20:57] <Jack_Sparrow> hwilde, ty
[20:57] <rainabba> usr13: Not exactly, but my focus has been higher-level.
[20:57] <usr13> rainabba: See:  http://www.ntlug.org/Articles/MemoryManagement
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> Laderius: check the apple site to see if its possible that way. i hate apple so can say from personal experience
[20:57] <ASULutzy> rainabba: Probably the difference between your buffers and caches, I think free counts the amount used by buffers and caches and perhaps system monitor doesn't?
[20:57]  * gogereaver slaps ActionParsnip around a bit with a large trout
[20:57] <Lighttitan> i don't use the iphone either =P... i have an Android G1 developer phone and am loving it!
[20:58] <rainabba> ASULutzy: Makes sense.
[20:58] <gogereaver> what he trying to do to his ipohne
[20:58] <gurps1> !dualboot
[20:58] <Jaison> so I need to put # in front of every line right?
[20:58] <cameron_> 3 cd's now
[20:58] <cameron_> that i have burnt
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> gogereaver: its poor bang for buck and people lap up ipods without considering other players, creating isheep
[20:58] <cameron_> all 3 have a corrupt file
[20:58] <ASULutzy> Jaison: Not every line :) the lines of the old kernel entries
[20:58] <Jaison> that i don't want there corrcet
[20:58] <cameron_> i downloaded via bittorrent and md5 check is right
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> cameron_: did you md5 check the iso?
[20:59] <gogereaver> i ahve a ipod tuch and a samsong yp-f1
[20:59] <user_> cameron_: try lower burn speed
[20:59] <Lighttitan> cameron... ubuntu cd's?
[20:59] <Jaison> Yeah thats what i meant sorry
[20:59] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: in front of the title, yes
[20:59] <gogereaver> and a psp
[20:59] <cameron_> kubuntu
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> cameron_ what speed are you burning at?
[20:59] <CrocoJet> how to start one program (for example glxgears) many times in unique command ?
[20:59] <cameron_> i tried 48x the first 2 times
[20:59] <cameron_> the 3rd time i did 16x
[20:59] <Lighttitan> what program are you using to burn?
[20:59] <Laderius> ActionParsnip, dosent work that way, im installing virtualbox and will emulate itunes :/
[20:59] <scoremeformusic> hello, could someone help me with a music picard problem? it deletes any files I tag using it
[20:59] <unr3a1> user_: I have tried that.  all it does is extract the files that it recognizes
[20:59] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: it should look like this... #Title Ubuntu bla bla bla.. .. then that title will not appear in your grub list
[20:59] <cameron_> ripped as an iso and checked the md5 on the new iso and doesnt match up
[20:59] <cameron_> k3b
[20:59] <rainabba> ASULutzy: That wouldn't explain the following though would it? With 8GB of RAM, running x86_64 bit kernel, I show nearly 4GB used with nothing running except Opera with a few tabs, and VMWare workstation with the guest shut down.
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> Laderius: looks like the only solution
[21:00] <gogereaver> jailbroken ipod tuch = tablet psp
[21:00] <Jaison> Just the titles or all four entries like uuid kernel initrid
[21:00] <gogereaver> pc
[21:00] <cameron_> i currently use slamd64 i like it but i want to *try* kubuntu so i dont have to compile kde 4 to try it
[21:00] <unr3a1> user_: I found this: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/81922-how-read-udf-filesystem-linux.html but that path no longer exists for the .config file
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> cameron_: does the cd pass integrity check once booted to?
[21:00] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: just the title
[21:00] <scoremeformusic> no, sorry it doesn't delete it, it makes it unplayable
[21:00] <Jaison> cool
[21:00] <cameron_> ActionParsnip, no, comes back "1 file . .. . .blah"
[21:00] <wash-hasted> sun xvm virtual box is great
[21:00] <theking> how do I format a hard drive via a terminal
[21:00] <ASULutzy> rainabba: what does free -m actually say?
[21:00] <cameron_> ive already wasted 3 disks i just dont want to waste another
[21:00] <rainabba> wash-hasted: Lies! It's all lies!
[21:00] <wash-hasted> haha
[21:00] <cameron_> is there any way to use lilo to boot off an iso ?
[21:00] <theking> brb
[21:01] <ASULutzy> cameron_: Not lilo, but there is unetbootin
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> cameron_: could try burning it at 4x or use a different burner
[21:01] <cameron_> only burner i got
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> cameron_: are you burning from Linux, you could try a different app
[21:01] <cameron_> makes me wonder
[21:01] <rainabba> ASULutzy: total/used/free of 7999/4614/3384   when the VM isn't running.
[21:01] <scoremeformusic> can anyone help me with a musicbrainz picard problem? it keeps rendering any file I play unusable
[21:01] <ASULutzy> Why does no one ever recommend unetbootin?
[21:01] <cameron_> cus i burnt GB's and GB's of movies to dvds itd be gay
[21:01] <scoremeformusic> I have all codecs installed
[21:01] <Lighttitan> cameron... are you burning the iso to the disk or are you opening the iso with k3b then burning the contents of thr iso?
[21:01] <user01> hi, graphics question, is eps vector-based?
[21:01] <WyHiWyL> ASULutzy: unetbootin is a tool to make liveusb, or am i wrong?
[21:01] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: note lines 137 and 143   http://paste.ubuntu.com/100570/
[21:01] <ASULutzy> rainabba: the whole line, what are the buffers and caches
[21:02] <rainabba> ASULutzy: 7999/7951/47 when it is.
[21:02] <theking> back
[21:02] <rainabba> Ahh
[21:02] <Ryan_Delaney> I have a stupid question: Whenever I ssh to my fileserver it asks me for the password to the default keyring, but I never got a chance to set that password and don't know how to set/change the default keyring password. Where is that, and what app controls it (preferably with the command line)?
[21:02] <user_> unr3a1: from which medium are you trying to read and where do you want to burn to?
[21:02] <rainabba> ASULutzy: Right now it's running and shows 7999/7952/47/0/123/6961. Lemme shut the guest back down to check it then.
[21:02] <ASULutzy> WyHiWyL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNetbootin You can use it to install from an .iso to hard disk without burning a CD
[21:02] <ASULutzy> rainabba: Don't shutdown
[21:03] <ASULutzy> rainabba: Oh, the guest OS, yea go ahead if you want
[21:03] <linxeh> Ryan_Delaney: apropos keyring
[21:03] <rainabba> yah
[21:03] <IndyGunFreak> i've always used it to create thumb drives to install from, works great for that
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_Delaney: http://mexpolk.blogspot.com/2008/02/ubuntu-change-default-keyring-password.html
[21:03] <theking> how do I format a hard drive via a terminal
[21:03] <dman> any reason why my windows are loading locked to the upper left corner
[21:03] <Ryan_Delaney> linxeh: thanks
[21:03] <Ryan_Delaney> :)
[21:03] <pop79> how can i get my genius g-pen 450 to work on ubuntu?
[21:03] <unr3a1> user_: the ISO is on my harddrive
[21:03] <Jaison> man I love this channel, Its so much easier than reading for two days to do one simple thing
[21:03] <unr3a1> user_: and I am trying to burn it to a DVD
[21:03] <ASULutzy> theking: What do you mean by format, are you looking to erase all the files on the drive (and if so how securely)? Or are you trying to repartition a drive?
[21:03] <WyHiWyL> ASULutzy: oh, so i didn't know its full power :)
[21:03] <rainabba> ASULutzy: Now it shows 7999/4611/3384/0/118/3712
[21:04] <theking> ASULutzy, erase all files on the drive securely
[21:04] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: well, sometimes you still have to read for two-three days, but this channel is generally a wealth of info
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> theking: man mk2fs
[21:04] <Lighttitan> pop79, have you done a search on the ubuntu forms about you pen?
[21:04] <pop79> yeop :)
[21:04] <ASULutzy> theking: How securely, like NSA securely or?
[21:04] <theking> no
[21:04] <user_> unr3a1: ok, and the problem is with the iso, the conversion, or the burning process?
[21:04] <scoremeformusic> how do I get the list of roms
[21:04] <scoremeformusic> *rooms
[21:04] <theking> ASULutzy, just a simple wipe
[21:04] <Lighttitan> pop79, and it turned up nothing?

[21:04] <macman> guys .. how can i use ntfsprogs to make a ntfs partition on a usb drive ?
[21:04] <unr3a1> there are 2.4GB worth of files in the ISO
[21:04] <pop79> well, no
[21:05] <rainabba> ASULutzy: I've now closed everything except the termal I'm using (and X of course) and still show 4430 used and 3713 cached.
[21:05] <unr3a1> but ubuntu is only seeing maybe 200KB of them....
[21:05] <gogereaver> wrong lol
[21:05] <Jaison> I tried to install the 64bit flashplayer last night and I read for 4 hours and it took like 5 minutes to do it and what i read did not tell me anything about what i did
[21:05] <ASULutzy> theking: If all you want to do is erase everything and it's a simple wipe just remove all the partitions and call it a day ;) you can do that with fdisk
[21:05] <gogereaver> its /list
[21:05] <ASULutzy> rainabba: Right
[21:05] <unr3a1> one of which is a txt file saying that it needs to be viewed in a OS that supports the UDF filesystem
[21:05] <ASULutzy> rainabba: 4430 - 3713 = ?
[21:05] <ASULutzy> rainabba: the amount that is cached is considered used
[21:05] <ASULutzy> rainabba: I'm guessing anyway :)
[21:05] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: are you using 8.10
[21:05] <theatrustop> ASULutzy, it is
[21:06] <Jaison> yep ultimate edition 2.0
[21:06] <theatrustop> Linux will gobble up free memory for disk cache
[21:06] <IndyGunFreak> Jaison: ah, ultimate edition...
[21:06] <rainabba> ASULutzy: Makes sense again. Trouble is, VMWare sees that memory as unavailable and it shouldn't be (based on the fact that nothing else is using it).
[21:06] <ASULutzy> rainabba: You are aware that unused RAM is wasted RAM... You WANT things to be cached or else the RAM is worthless
[21:06] <waremperor> 'night world. Seeya soon.
[21:06] <Jaison> yep utlitmate edition x6f
[21:06] <rainabba> Any way to free that cache up?
[21:06] <Jaison> 64
[21:06] <Lighttitan> pop79, what kind of pen is it again?
[21:07] <user_> unr3a1: ok, so in this "whats in the iso?"-context you came up with the udf-question? so its not related to a burning problem itself?
[21:07] <rainabba> ASULutzy: Ok, but I want VMware to have first dibs on it.
[21:07] <pop79> it is a genius g-pen 450 graphics tablet
[21:07] <rainabba> THEN the guest can have the rest and swap out what it needs from there.
[21:07] <Jaison> I tried their forum, then ubuntu's forum, then firefox forum then adobe forum then here
[21:07] <hajmola> ASULutzy, can I make a partition on my USB harddrive and make it live?
[21:07] <unr3a1> user_: no... the disc burns.  but it only burns the files that Ubuntu is able to recognize in the ISO
[21:07] <usr13> rainabba: YOu can change swappiness value
[21:07] <ASULutzy> rainabba: Hmmm, well, there is this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=589975 but that seems iffy :)
[21:07] <rainabba> usr13: For VMWare you mean?
[21:07] <SiDi> Hello
[21:07] <Jaison> alas it was here I achieved my goal
[21:08] <usr13> rainabba: O
[21:08] <SiDi> Does anyone know about a good gui for managing iptables, please ?
[21:08] <ASULutzy> SiDi: Is firestarter the front end? I forget
[21:08] <usr13> SiDi: Firestarter
[21:08] <IndyGunFreak> !firestarter
[21:08] <rainabba> usr13: I've set it to not swap at all because I have enough ram. I want the guest to take it's 4GB, then leave the other ~4GB for the host apps.
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> SiDi: firestarter
[21:08] <SiDi> Hm thanks
[21:08] <user_> unr3a1: ok, you might check the channel of the burn program you are using, which program would that be?
[21:09] <IndyGunFreak> man, some of these bot responses are huge when Im on my aspire one...lol
[21:09] <unr3a1> user_: but its not a problem with the burner
[21:09] <IndyGunFreak> of coruse, i'm trying to do 10 things on an 8.9in screen
[21:09] <usr13> rainabba: I've not used vmware enough to know much about how it works, and I do not run 64 bit kernel either.
[21:09] <ASULutzy> rainabba: That's weird that VMWare won't let you set the amount of RAM given to the guest to 4 GB. Any reason you're set on VMWare instead of VirtualBox?
[21:09] <SiDi> Sorry but firestarter is not what i'm looking for :p
[21:09] <unr3a1> user_: Ubuntu cannot recognize the files in the ISO, because it can't read UDF filesystems
[21:10] <unr3a1> user_: So I am asking how to get Ubuntu to read a UDF file system
[21:10] <usr13> SiDi: Do you just need a good firewall script?
[21:10] <ASULutzy> SiDi: You asked for a graphical front end to iptables. Which is exactly what it is.
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> SiDi: firestarter is a good gui to form iptables rules
[21:10] <user_> unr3a1: ok, which ubuntu version are you using?
[21:10] <FireStorm> hey
[21:10] <SiDi> Well, it's for another user who needs to open some specific ports
[21:10] <Jaison> well I have to restart
[21:10] <Jaison> jason@Gameroom:/etc/X11$ mv -v xorg.conf.2009010513592 /etc/X11 xorg.conf
[21:10] <FireStorm> the wubi installer doesnt run
[21:10] <Jaison> mv: target `xorg.conf' is not a directory
[21:10] <Jaison> jason@Gameroom:/etc/X11$ mv -v xorg.conf.2009010513592 /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:11] <Jaison> mv: cannot stat `xorg.conf.2009010513592': No such file or directory
[21:11] <FloodBot2> Jaison: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:11] <Jaison> jason@Gameroom:/etc/X11$
[21:11] <hajmola> can I make a bootable live-usb on a 10gb partition in my USB harddrive?
[21:11] <FireStorm> when i try to run it hourglass appears for a second then nothing happens
[21:11] <iShock> Channel #Ubuntu stats updated! View them at: http://vertex.cluenet.org/~lee/ubuntu.html
[21:11] <usr13> SiDi: Are you trying to build a stand-alone firewall router?
[21:11] <SiDi> And as i never felt that need for myself, i have no idea how to do :P and i'm not sure that user wants to do it manually
[21:11] <IndyGunFreak> !paste | Jaison
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> !usb | hajmola
[21:11] <rainabba> ASULutzy: It lets me, but when I go to start the guest it forces me to reduce it to more like 3.2GB because Linux is reporting that 4.4GB is being used. VirtualBox refuses to play nice. No matter how I prep my guest image or how I restore it, I can't get it to run properly under vbox. Either it won't boot, or it does and run slow as shit.
[21:11] <CarlFK> apache2 - where do I set .sh files to be text so they are displayed and not downloaded?
[21:11] <SiDi> usr13: the guy just wants to open ports for css :P
[21:12] <mogi22> is ip/24 same as ip/255.255.255.0
[21:12] <Laderius> where can i change screensavers?
[21:12] <ASULutzy> rainabba: I'm not sure, sounds like a VMWare bug, you could forcefully clear the cache, but I'm not sure how recommended that is
[21:12] <rascal999> when i record on my microphone the playback is just a buzz
[21:12] <rascal999> why?
[21:12] <usr13> SiDi: firestarter should work for him.
[21:12] <joejc> is it possible to make 2 routers work as 1 network?
[21:12] <rainabba> ASULutzy: Trying gdm restart for now.
[21:13] <rainabba> I'll pull a Microsoft and reboot if nothing else.
[21:13] <Laderius> rainabba what are you trying to do?
[21:13] <unr3a1> user_: 8.10
[21:13] <SiDi> alright then usr13 thanks
[21:13] <pop79> i am trying to move a file to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input to install a driver, but it says that the permission is denied. what do i do to get it in?
[21:14] <ASULutzy> rainabba: sudo echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
[21:14] <rainabba> Laderius: Trying to launch my VMWare guest with 4GB allocated to it. I'm running x86_64 kernel with 8GB of RAM, but linux says I'm using 4.4GB and vmware seems to agree so it's telling me to reduce the amount of ram for my guest.
[21:14] <FireStorm> hey, the wubi installer isnt working for me, when i double click it nothing happens..
[21:14] <ASULutzy> rainabba: You could try that, who knows :X
[21:14] <Jaison> im trying to rename a the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.2009010513592 to just xorg.conf whats the syntax
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> FireStorm: did yuo md5 check the installer?
[21:15] <Laderius> rainabba, Interesting, im trying to allocate 2gbs ram and ubuntu 32bit says i have 2.7 when i have 4
[21:15] <Hector> :O
[21:15] <ASULutzy> Jaison: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.whatever /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:15]  * Hector dances.
[21:15] <FireStorm> no, but ive used the one on the site thats just he exe, also the one thats just on the ubuntu cd, i should also mention that its worked before and ive installed ubuntu but now i want to uninstall and reinstall, but even the uninstaller doesnt run
[21:16] <rainabba> ASULutzy: Trying, that command, 1 min
[21:17] <user_> unr3a1: ok, still searching
[21:17] <mogi22> if i want sessions (ssh) to timeout after 10 min of inactivity, do i just add TMOUT=600 line to bottom of /etc/profile?
[21:17] <FireStorm> id do cp instead of mv so you save a copy
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> FireStorm: doesnt matter where you download it from ,  you ned to check the downloaded file is correct
[21:18] <ASULutzy> pop79: You have to be root to write outside of your home directory
[21:18] <Laderius> Question: virtualbox cannot read from the boot medium! System Halted error. :/
[21:18] <FireStorm> k how do i do that
[21:18] <meho_> ok i have been to alsa roomand no is is helping can someone help me here
[21:18] <pop79> ASULutzy: how do i do that?
[21:18] <geolr> Hi all! Please help my confusion about FreeNX: Does the system open a new X-session parallel to any other users on the system? Or do I see what Grandma has on her screen?
[21:19] <andy___> hello
[21:19] <user_> unr3a1: which kernel version are you running, "uname -a"?
[21:19] <FireStorm> but shouldnt the uninstaller work since the installer originally worked
[21:19] <baheer> hello all
[21:19] <Jaison> ok I have to restart my computer check on this nvidia xserver thing goodbye guys
[21:19] <pop79> !howdy |andy__
[21:19] <ASULutzy> sudo mv /targetFile /destination/
[21:19] <pop79> thanks
[21:19] <meho_> Code i Put in
[21:19] <meho_> meho@Sex-Central:~/alsa-driver-1.0.18a$ sudo cp ./modules/snd-hda-intel.ko /lib/modules/$( uname -r )/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/
[21:19] <meho_> result
[21:19] <meho_> cp: cannot stat `./modules/snd-hda-intel.ko': No such file or directory
[21:19] <FloodBot2> meho_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:19] <FireStorm> i suspsect the problem is deeper
[21:19] <ASULutzy> !enter | meho_
[21:19] <baheer> I would like to localize this http://start.ubuntu.com/8.10/ page
[21:20] <meho_> will try
[21:20] <FireStorm> since the exact same file works on my other machine
[21:20] <baheer> with whom can I contact?
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | FireStorm
[21:20] <baheer> and how can I do?
[21:20] <ASULutzy> meho_: The file doesn't exist.
[21:20] <andy___> which is much better? amd quad core or intel core 2 dou, i plan to upgrade my cpu, and would i run into problmes with it when i install linux?
[21:20] <rainabba> ASULutzy: now free -m looks good
[21:20] <meho_> aaa
[21:21] <meho_> so this reffairing to a file on the system or install files
[21:21] <meho_> that are supose to be installed
[21:21] <ASULutzy> andy___: Preference, both will work just fine,I personally have an Intel Q6600, and the new i7's look pretty nice too, but either will work, and both have their merits.
[21:22] <rainabba> ASULutzy: That works for now.
[21:22] <user_> unr3a1: you have to execute the command in a terminal window, let me know if you need more info (if at all..)
[21:22] <andy___> but in your opinion should i go for intel or amd?
[21:22] <ASULutzy> rainabba: Awesome, glad I could help
[21:22] <unr3a1> user_:  2.6.27-9-generic
[21:22] <rainabba> ASULutzy: :)
[21:22] <ASULutzy> andy___: I told you what I did, but it's up to you
[21:22] <lighttitan> pop79, is the pen you refer to an input device or a tablet?
[21:23] <pop79> a tablet
[21:23] <unr3a1> user_: yea, I am not a complete linux newb :P
[21:23] <unr3a1> user_: at work, so thats why it is taking me longer than normal to do stuff.  have to pay attention to two things at once
[21:24] <user_> unr3a1: judging from this site, you kernel should be fine: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_26, another useful looking page that came up is http://ascending.wordpress.com/2008/06/14/howto-read-vista-burnt-udf-dvds-on-ubuntu-linux/
[21:24] <lighttitan> ah... i found an entry in the ubuntu forums you might like to see if you didn't catch it in your search. it is for the F610 model but it might get you headed in the right direction pop79.
[21:25] <pop79> what is the address?
[21:25] <FireStorm> ActionParsnip none of the file names there match mine as mine is cd sized http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/release/
[21:25] <billybigrigger> is there any gui apps for converting mkv to mp4 for xbox 360 yet?
[21:25] <lighttitan> pop 79, do a search in the ubuntu forums for Genius G-pen F610
[21:25] <FireStorm> also i cant imagine what could go wrong in transfer of the file from wubi-installer.com or whatever since its worked on my other machines fine
[21:25] <FireStorm> also none of that explains why my UNinstaller doesnt work
[21:26] <user_> unr3a1: you might try to manually mount the iso as indicated at the second address (ignoring the compile stuff for now)..
[21:26] <majnoon> !ot
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> FireStorm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[21:26] <ASULutzy> FireStorm: tcp/ip isn't perfect :) as far as the uninstaller, no idea, perhaps it's a Windows problem
[21:27] <pop79> oh, ive actually been searching and i found the instructions on a blog. i really appriciate the help you gave me anyway lighttitan. Thank you, and did you do all that searching for me?
[21:27] <lighttitan> ya, just sorry it was late pop79.
[21:27] <ASULutzy> billybigrigger: mencoder can do anything, just search for mencoder frontends
[21:27] <cameron_> with unetbootin how do you install it without a usb drive ?
[21:28] <unr3a1> user_: I can try that manual mount
[21:28] <mgolisch> ls
[21:28] <mgolisch> ups
[21:28] <pop79> thank you anyway. you were very helpful :) x2!
[21:28] <ASULutzy> cameron_: You tell it to do a hard drive install and point it to the correct partition
[21:28] <cameron_> the only option it gives me
[21:28] <cameron_> is /
[21:28] <cameron_> i have / on its own partition for slamd64 /boot is on /dev/sda1
[21:29] <ASULutzy> cameron_: I guess I don't understand what you're trying to do
[21:30] <cameron_> im trying to boot kubuntu iso
[21:30] <FireStorm> ActionParsnip k md5s are the same
[21:30] <cameron_> isnt unetboot supposed to install a boot loader which loads the selected iso image (if thats what you are trying to do)
[21:31] <philippe>  /join #oe
[21:31] <FireStorm> ya something is wrong with my windows because the uninstaller of wubi doesnt work and the wubi installer doesnt work from the site AND on the cd so does anyone know what is required to run the wubi installer/uninstaller
[21:31] <FireStorm> like some runtime or something
[21:31] <ASULutzy> cameron_: Unetbootin can be used to install an iso directly to your hard drive, do you have a partition setup for Kubuntu?
[21:31] <cameron_> ASULutzy, yes
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> FireStorm: cool
[21:33] <wamcvey> greetings. I am trying to upgrade a Feisty server using do-release-upgrade (tried using update-manager as well) and both are complaining about feisty repositories not being available. in particular,  I get: binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found   for a wide variety of repository servers (us.archive.ubuntu.com, archive.ubuntu.com, mirrors.kernel.org, easynews mirrors, etc)
[21:33] <ASULutzy> wamcvey: Feisty has reached end of life
[21:33] <ASULutzy> !eol
[21:34] <wamcvey> I know.. .that's why I'm upgrading.
[21:34] <wamcvey> I don't want to upgrade *to* feisty... I want to upgrade from it... so why are the feisty repositories a pre-requisite to upgrading to gutsy?
[21:35] <corwin> бля, русский канал забыл =(
[21:35] <ASULutzy> !ru | corwin
[21:35] <ASULutzy> wamcvey: update-manager -d doesn't work?
[21:35] <evowill_> wamcvey they moved the repositories
[21:36] <kdogg> is there a default generic usb driver in Ubuntu?
[21:36] <FireStorm> something is wrong with my windows because the uninstaller of wubi doesnt work and the wubi installer doesnt work from the site AND on the cd so does anyone know what is required to run the wubi installer/uninstaller
[21:36] <evowill_> wamcvey use http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/
[21:36] <evowill_> change your sources list to reflect that, then you will be able to upgrade
[21:37] <ASULutzy> FireStorm: Have you considered that the download was corrupted? Did you actually bother to md5sum the files?
[21:37] <wamcvey> evowill_: thanks, I'll give it a try... still puzzling to the extreme why I need old repositories to be valid to upgrade to new release.
[21:37] <cameron_> okay i have my kubuntu iso on /home (which is on its own partition) trying to use unetbootin to boot off that iso how do i use it, i already have a partition /dev/sda5 for kubuntu
[21:37] <FireStorm> ASULutzy yes
[21:37] <evowill_> wamcvey, because it wants to make sure you have the latest packages before you upgrade
[21:37] <cameron_> hard disk: only drive it gives me is /
[21:37] <cameron_> is that normal?
[21:37] <evowill_> wamcvey, to prevent breakage in the upgrade process, so everyone is on the same page :-)
[21:38] <wamcvey> evowill_: So my deb line should look like: deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted
[21:38] <wamcvey>   right?
[21:38] <ethan> can anyone help me i just reinstaleld ubuntu on my computer and im trying to set up my wireless and i need help idk how to do it and also im trying to update my sytem but the system keeps freezing can anyone help?
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> cameron_: you need to make an empty folder to mount the iso to
[21:38] <ASULutzy> !unetbootin
[21:38] <cameron_> how bout /mnt/iso
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> ethan: run lspci or lsusb which will identify the device, you can webserach from there
[21:39] <ASULutzy> Bah, you've failed me again ubottu.
[21:39] <ethan> its an internal
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> cameron_: sounds ideal, you'll need sudo mkdir /mnt/iso first
[21:39] <NintendoGuy0> I'm wondering about the Three 3G Broadband Modem (E160G). Anyone got it working on 8.04? I can't seem to work out how to use it at all!
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> ethan: lspci then
[21:39] <cameron_> mount -t iso9660 it ?
[21:40] <cameron_> or is that for unetbootin to do?
[21:40] <Roasted> Sup fellas... got a quick question... I have an IP of a Windows XP computer that wasn't "playing by the rules" at work. I need to find the host name of it. I tried ping -a <ip> but it didn't pull the host name as it normally does. I have an Ubuntu Intrepid Desktop set up at work. Is there any way in Ubuntu I can pull the Windows host name of this computer?
[21:40] <ethan> actionparsnip its a broadcam bcm4318
[21:40] <wamcvey> evowill: looks like it's working... thanks for the advice about old-releases. Seems to be working.
[21:40] <ethan> actionparsnip can you help?
[21:41] <NintendoGuy02836> I'm wondering about the Three 3G Broadband Modem (E160G). Anyone got it working on 8.04? I can't seem to work out how to use it at all!
[21:41] <ASULutzy> cameron_: Hold on, I'll see if I can find a decent unetbootin howto
[21:41] <wamcvey> evowill: Looks like I spoke too soon... when it does the re-writing of my sources list to upgrade me to gutsy, it's now failing: Failed to fetch http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-updates/Release.gpg Error reading from server. Remote end closed connection
[21:42] <ASULutzy> wamcvey: gutsy isn't in eol yet
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | ethan
[21:43] <wamcvey> ASULutzy... I know. *I* didn't make the decision that the old repository URL should be the same repository URL for the new release... that's an assumption of do-release-upgrade apparently.
[21:43] <NintendoGuy02836> excuse me for repeating, but hasn't anyone used a Three 3G E160 broadband modem?
[21:44] <lighttitan> NintendoGuy02836... not sure how to get 3G modems working in 8.04 but I do know ubuntu mad a lot of wireless broadband improvements from 8.04 to 8.10. You might think about switching to 8.10
[21:44] <ethan> actionactionparsnip: yes
[21:44] <_Zeus_> i would do that
[21:44] <ethan> actionparsnip: yes
[21:45] <FireStorm> something is wrong with my windows because the uninstaller of wubi doesnt work and the wubi installer doesnt work from the site AND on the cd so does anyone know what is required to run the wubi installer/uninstaller... files are md5 checked
[21:45] <wamcvey> the question remains... how do I upgrade from an EOL'ed release.... If I set my repository to old-releases.ubuntu.com (so it can make sure it is the latest most update to date old release), then it fails when it tries to install gutsy. If I set my repository to us.archive.ubuntu.com, it fails cause it can't validate that my old release is up-to-date.
[21:45] <ASULutzy> !upgrade
[21:45] <NintendoGuy02836> lighttian; I ordered 8.10 in the post a few days ago. at least i think it was 8.10. is there any way to download just a patch from 8.04 to 8.1 instead of having to download the whole system again?
[21:45] <NintendoGuy02836> oh, thank you..
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> ethan: read that guide
[21:46] <ASULutzy> wamcvey: Hmmm, that trigger wasn't that helpful
[21:46] <ethan> actionparsnip:can you help me with my updates though?
[21:46] <ASULutzy> wamcvey: Oh actually yea: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> ethan: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:46] <ASULutzy> wamcvey: Which is actually what I suggested earlier, that's just update-manager -d
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> ethan: use wired connection until you have your wifi setup
[21:46] <ethan> actionparsnip whcih one
[21:47] <ethan> actionparsnip: im on a wired connection right now but which one of those
[21:47] <Flannel> wamcvey: You have to stop update-manager midway through and manually edit some stuff.  Let me find you a link
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> ethan: all, on the same line
[21:47] <wamcvey> ASULutzy... I guess we're not quite on the same page... I'm doing everything in that document... and it's failing
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> ethan: its a terminal command
[21:48] <gardier> ActionParsnip is the difference in wifi support mainly kernel related? Only I notice Debian Lenny has much better wifi support too, though I think they're planning to remove some of it cos it's not Free enough.
[21:48] <ethan> actionparsnip: commands do i use to update without my system freezing again yes ik terminal but my whole system crashes evrytiem i update
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> gardier: ive not used true debian so couldnt comment
[21:49] <mordof> has anyone found a fix for having a wirelss NIC that the RF kill switch is software based? some way to turn it on so that the wireless card can work for intel onboard
[21:49] <wamcvey> Flannel: thanks... I'd appreciate the link... I'm getting tempted to just hack my sources.list and dist-upgrade the box, but I know that's no longer a supported upgrade procedure...
[21:49] <Zombie_Gaz> Probably a stupid question... why does my 'w' command show 4 users when I only see 3 listed?
[21:49] <gardier> ActionParsnip I keep havering between the two :)
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> ethan: what point does it hang?
[21:49] <Flannel> wamcvey: You're upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10, right?
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> gardier: i use gentoo, mandriva and kubuntu
[21:49] <wamcvey> Flannel: yes
[21:50] <eli> can I create multiple x screens on one display. ex) splitting a monitor into 4 parts each with there own xserver
[21:50] <ethan> actionparsnip; what do you mean
[21:50] <cameron_> any luck finding a readme on unetbootin ?
[21:50] <wamcvey> Flannel: from feisty to gutsy... (and will likely go on to hardy as well, but first things first is getting to gutsy)
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> ethan: when does the update stop and the system hang, whats going on when it stops
[21:50] <evowill_> Cameron, on sourceforge
[21:50] <Dante123> hi all,  trying to setup wireless for dell mini-9's in my classroom.  I have the code for the shared WEP connection.  However, the tech guy didn't tell me if it is passphrase or ascii.  Anyway, I have tried it both ways and it doesn't work.  Any suggestions?  Is there something I am doing wrong.  BTW, the mini's come with 8.04 and Netmanager.  Any help is appreciated by me and the kids that want to be able to surf the net and print f
[21:50] <Roasted> Sup fellas... got a quick question... I have an IP of a Windows XP computer that wasn't "playing by the rules" at work. I need to find the host name of it. I tried ping -a <ip> but it didn't pull the host name as it normally does. I have an Ubuntu Intrepid Desktop set up at work. Is there any way in Ubuntu I can pull the Windows host name of this computer?
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> ethan: is it during the downloading or the installing part
[21:50] <Flannel> wamcvey: Well, it's certainly not unsupported.  You just have to make sure you have the proper metapackages (ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal, a kernel metapackage, and whatever your desktop metapackage is)  It's just not as clean (update-manager takes care of some removals after the fact, etc)
[21:51] <gardier> ActionParsnip I kinda like Mandriva 2009 was a real improvement. Gentoo is one of those Lego systems isn't? Where you put it together yourself?
[21:51] <ethan> actionparsnip: during the installing part
[21:51] <ASULutzy> cameron_: Check lubi
[21:51] <ASULutzy> cameron_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=441918
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> ethan: are your partitions healthy?
[21:51] <ethan> actionparsnip: the whole system just freezes and then when i reboot and try again it says failed
[21:52] <NintendoGuy02836> AZUlutzy - I'm on a windows right now - I don't have any way of getting on the internet on my ubuntu computer except that 3G modem, so I can't download the update on my laptop.. can't I download it from the computer I'm on now, and bring it on a USB disk to my Ubuntu laptop?
[21:52] <ethan> actionparsnip: what do you mean healthy?
[21:52] <omnydevi> NaPsTeR - all well?
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> gardier: nar mandriva is a fully fledged distro, gentoo is more lego like but its fun
[21:52] <Flannel> wamcvey: did you update completely once you switched to old-releases?  I'm seeing indications that the newer update-managers know how to switch off of old-releases
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> ethan: try: sudo shutdown -rF now
[21:52] <ASULutzy> cameron_: and there's this on unetbootin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=427540 tbh I haven't used unetbootin in a while, but I know it can install an iso to a partition
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> ethan: it will reboot your box and check the disk health
[21:52] <wamcvey> Flannel: ok... well, then I'll just dist-upgrade myself to gutsy... cross my fingers, and if it goes ok, will use update-manager to go to gutsy (hopefully that will cleanup what's not needed)
[21:53] <wamcvey> Flannel: Yes, I updated completly with old-releases.
[21:53] <Flannel> wamcvey: That should yeah.  Just be sure you're entirely up to date on feisty, with at least those four metapackages
[21:53] <freddy__> hey, hello to all
[21:53] <gardier> ActionParsnip what does the rF switch do? (apologies for this cli newbie)
[21:53] <wamcvey> Flannel... ok, thanks... wish me luck. I may be on later in a more frazzled state if it doesn't go well.
[21:53] <dotblank>  can I create multiple x screens on one display. ex) splitting a monitor into 4 parts each with there own xsession?
[21:54] <ethan> ok
[21:54] <Bear7809> Hey guys, little help here.

[21:54] <ethan> actionparsnip: when it checks the disk will it fix it if theres soemthign wrong?
[21:54] <gardier> ActionParsnip cheers
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> gardier: -F == freakout (causes fsck)
[21:54] <freddy__> hello kenkku
[21:54] <gardier> ActionParsnip thanks
[21:54] <kenkku> does anyone know any other (packaged & in intrepid repos) mail notification programs other than mail-notification that would support reading mbox over ssh/sftp?
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> ethan: if its downloading the apps ok and installing locks then your drive may be bad
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> gardier: man shutdown ;)
[21:55] <kenkku> something that would actually work, mail-notification crashes with sftp
[21:55] <lzantal> Can I setup software raid after installation without erasing the disk?
[21:55] <ethan> actionparsnip: how do i fix it? and the command didnt work that you gave me
[21:55] <Bear7809> I just installed Hardy on my computer. When i get to the splash screen, the monitor turns off and recieves no signal. But ubuntu is clearly running as I hear the sounds to log in. If i press ctrl alt f1 i can get the command line to log in. I dont know whats going on. I installed it on my parents computer which runs an Nvidia card and it works fine. I dont know if its my ATI card or my monitor. Little help?
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> ethan: fsck will attempt to fix them too
[21:56] <ASULutzy> ethan: Can't you just sudo touch /forcefsck
[21:56] <omnydevi> lzantal - no
[21:56] <ASULutzy> ethan: and then just reboot normally
[21:56] <omnydevi> izaltal - well, what raid array?
[21:56] <lzantal> Thank you. Thats what I thought.
[21:56] <lzantal> raid1
[21:56] <ASULutzy> Bear7809: Probably the ati card, fglrx is always fun. I would edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and force it to use vesa driver till you can figure out what's going on
[21:56] <cameron_> lubi uses gnome "zenity"
[21:56] <cameron_> i have kde
[21:57] <omnydevi> izantal - yeah, the creation of the raid will wipe all data sadly
[21:57] <ethan> asulutzy and actionparsnip; that command didnt work i tyepd it in bu tnothing happened
[21:57] <Bear7809> ASULutzy: how do you do that?
[21:57] <ASULutzy> omnydevi, lzantal: You can create a raid 1 without erasing
[21:57] <ASULutzy> lzantal: I've done it before, remotely, through ssh :)
[21:57] <lzantal> REALLY??! That would save me hours
[21:57] <funkapus> Hi.  Is this the right channel for questions about vpnc (under ubuntu, of course)?  Is another channel more appropriate?
[21:58] <lzantal> could you give me some pointers?
[21:58] <omnydevi> asul - wow, thanks for correcting me, i would look into that...if i needed a raid1, heh
[21:58] <niklaus> My LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" doesn't work with g++. It gives me font problems , some messages in square boxes. How do i fix it ?
[21:58] <ASULutzy> lzantal: It's not exactly easy to do, but it is definitely possible. What you will have to do is first of course make the partitions match, and then copy over all of the original drive to the new, and then basically trick mdadm into fixing a "broken" array... I found a decent howto on it, and actually, I may have MADE a howto on the forums somewhere... Let me google
[21:58] <Bear7809> ASULutzy: how do i edit xorg to use the Vesa drivers over anything else?
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> ethan: you could check it from recovery console, the partitions need to be unmounted
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> ethan: or livecd
[21:59] <lzantal> ASULutzy: thanks a ton.
[21:59] <ASULutzy> Bear7809: You'll have to add a line that says driver "vesa" under screen I think... But not 100%, you should probably ask that to the channel or just do a quick google search
[21:59] <omnydevi> Bear - you vi the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and find the driver being used and replace it with VESA
[21:59] <ethan> actionparsnip: im running both ubuntu and windows xp would the best bet be to uninstall ubuntu and then reinstall windows and do everything from sratch?
[21:59] <omnydevi> you will get a low screen resolution most likely, but it will come up
[22:00] <Bear7809> omnydevi: what would i put in the command line? im not exactly the best with it.
[22:00] <kaje> I need to setup a Single Sign On configuration for about 50 ubuntu boxes. I've read the SingleSignOn page on the Ubuntu docs, but I'm a little confused regarding the roles that Kerberos and LDAP play. Should I be using one or the other or both in combination?
[22:00] <omnydevi> lzantal - sorry for lying to you, i never thought to do it that way before
[22:00] <knoppix> hi
[22:00] <niklaus> Will changing LC_ALL="C" from LC_ALL="en_US.utf-8" cause any problems ?
[22:00] <omnydevi> Bear - you have any kind of GUI?
[22:00] <ethan> actionparsnip: wipe my whole os and redo it from sratch
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> ethan: no need, just need to check the partition is ok, no need to format
[22:00] <NintendoGuy02836> Has anyone got a Three 3G modem working on 8.04? I can't figure out how to set it up.
[22:00] <Bear7809> omnydevi: no, none, monitor gets no signal. Goes to standby. I can access console and log in by pressing ctrl alt f1. monitor comes back on.
[22:01] <Dante123> hi all,  trying to setup wireless for dell mini-9's in my classroom.  I have the code for the shared WEP connection.  However, the tech guy didn't tell me if it is passphrase or ascii.  Anyway, I have tried it both ways and it doesn't work.  Any suggestions?  Is there something I am doing wrong.

[22:01] <lzantal> omnydevi: I did not know it. I just thought I should ask.
[22:01] <Dante123> I don't understand open vs. shared keys?  And if he means 128 bit WEP passphrase or ascii (assuming it isn't hex because the # symbol is used)
[22:01] <omnydevi> Bear - best way is to "sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.cong
[22:01] <ethan> actionparsnip: i need help i need to fix ubuntu this is liek the fourth time iv instaleld it on here because i keep getting problems
[22:01] <ASULutzy> lzantal: this: http://www.howtoforge.com/software-raid1-grub-boot-debian-etch It's a little verbose... I made one that I thought was better somewhere on the ubuntu forums which I can try and dig up
[22:01] <ASULutzy> lzantal: But that should work
[22:01] <omnydevi> lzantal - i just hate giving false information :(
[22:01] <omnydevi> thanks again ASIL
[22:01] <omnydevi> ASUL, oops
[22:01] <Matisse> I have changed the UUID in /boot/grub/menu.lst  and in /etc/fstab  and now my system boots with an ash shell as result
[22:01] <omnydevi> Bear - what kinda graphics card you have?
[22:02] <Bear7809> omnydevi: ATI All-in Wonder 9600 series.
[22:02] <lzantal> ASULutzy: thank you soo much. what is your user name on the forum? I could do the search.
[22:02] <ASULutzy> omnydevi: Well, you didn't really give bad info... There isn't really a simple or normal way to create a RAID1 without destroying the partitions of both disks... This way works, but what you're basically doing is tricking mdadm into rebuilding a broken array
[22:02] <ASULutzy> ASULutzy on the forums as well,
[22:02] <omnydevi> ASUL yeah, that owns man :D
[22:02] <Matisse> I've changed the UUID using bklid or sth. like supposed when booting ends with fsck error 80
[22:02] <Bear7809> omnydevi: editing it to just use VESA is fairly easy after that?
[22:02] <omnydevi> Bear - find your graphics driver and replcae it with VESA
[22:02] <ASULutzy> I think I made a howto anyway :) I get confused sometimes, if you can't find it, that howtoforge article will definitely work
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> ethan: then reinstall, partition xp to not use the whole disk and leave unpartitioned space, ubuntu will then be able to use it and the dual boot will be handled for you
[22:03] <omnydevi> Bear - if you never used VI before...it isn't as easy as it sounds
[22:03] <Bear7809> omnydevi: im afraid I have not.
[22:03] <lzantal> ASULutzy: thank you soo much. You saved me hours of backup.(which i will do anyway) I am just happy to learn something new again
[22:03] <omnydevi> Bear - use only the arrow keys to navigate, just use arrow down till you see your graphics card
[22:03] <Matisse> WHAT can I do now ? I dont even see the root partion, only a certain one, which I used for data storage
[22:04] <omnydevi> Bear - vi can make a mess out of things fast if ya dont know what you are doing. (yes...i am speaking from experience)
[22:04] <Matisse> Help
[22:04] <Bear7809> omnydevi: so get to the graphics part, then replace whatever driver is there with just the word VESA?
[22:04] <ASULutzy> lzantal: No problem, it's a fun task
[22:04] <ASULutzy> lzantal: heh, it's even more fun when you do the entire thing remotely via ssh... that first reboot command... You have to be very brave to issue :P
[22:04] <omnydevi> Bear - yes. Hit A to type. Use DEL to delete the card driver name starting with the first letter
[22:05] <omnydevi> Bear - then left arrow, press "a" and type VESA, it should be in double quotes. Hit ESC and press ":w" without quotes. that saves it. then hit ":q" without quotes, that exits
[22:05] <__MAV> Hello All!

[22:07] <omnydevi> i need to install ubuntu on a esx server here so i can go through this stuff

[22:08] <omnydevi> that should restart the xserver
[22:08] <HacKBoX_> RediXe: what are you trying to install?
[22:08] <Bear7809> omnydevi: finally just reboot?
[22:08] <RediXe> HacKBoX_: sun-java-jre

[22:11] <__MAV> What program can I use to backup my Ubuntu installation (including partitioning) and burn it to DVD so later I can boot from that DVD and restore the system ?
[22:11] <cameron_> it doesnt work with lilo
[22:11] <cameron_> only grub
[22:11] <RediXe> HacKBoX_: I am ssh'd into the server atm - not sure why but it can't access the outside world and I'm not too worried about. I'll just scp the deb file over and manually do it
[22:11] <linxeh> RediXe: if there was you wouldnt want it. the jdk one is the dev kit for compiling
[22:12] <HacKBoX_> RediXe: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/sun-java6-jre take a look at that
[22:12] <omnydevi> Bear - you up and running?
[22:12] <RediXe> linxeh: I know, I just have this memory of when I installed this on my home machine that I used a -dev file is all. Can't access that machine to double check until I go home for the day.
[22:13] <HacKBoX_> RediXe: at the top you can navigate the dependencies and at the bottom you can download the files
[22:13] <funkapus> anyone able to get vpnc working recently?  i had it working successfully a few weeks ago, but not now (since i moved off networkmanager to /etc/network/interfaces; tried going back to networkmanager too, with no joy).  i may need to install that other OS if i can't get vpnc to work sometime soon, which i would really hate.
[22:13] <RediXe> HacKBoX_: thx :)
[22:13] <HacKBoX_> RediXe: No Problem; Thank the community
[22:13] <Matisse> __MAV, you could make a installed packages list and also put all personal data into a tarball, but I wouldnt make a DVD to but from. To much work. Just reinstalling with internet connection would be better
[22:14] <Matisse> __MAV, (reinstalling using that package list)
[22:15] <ozzloy> "we" == me and jauricchio
[22:15] <ozzloy> woops, wrong window
[22:15] <__MAV> Matisse: It would be great just to copy partition into place
[22:16] <RediXe> HacKBoX_: I assume these packages will run on 64bit machines?
[22:16] <kdogg> !usbdev
[22:16] <ryanakca> I have two encrypted partitions (/home and swap) in my crypttab that I mount/decrypt every boot, both have the same passphrase... Is there a way to make it so that I only have to type in my passphrase once?

[22:16] <RediXe> HacKBoX_: Yeah I just realized I forgot to mention that part :P
[22:16] <xomp> Hello, just installed Hardy on my HP Pavilion ze4300 laptop and even though it says "Connected to Wired network connection" it's not pulling an IP Address from my router and I can't get on the internet. Can someone please help me?
[22:17] <Matisse> actually copying /home, /etc and maybe /usr and reinstalling could do that, but I'm not sure if there are some more configuration files f.e. in /var or others
[22:17] <ASULutzy> __MAV: You could just create a tarball of /, you could also make an image of the entire disk using dd, there are a couple of options, though the tarball one sounds more right
[22:17] <kdogg> anyone know if a usb device's usbdev id changes if reconnecting it?
[22:17] <omnydevi> xomp - you have the machine there handy?
[22:17] <HacKBoX_> RediXe: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/amd64/sun-java6-jre
[22:17] <RediXe> HacKBoX_: I also, moved over to the sun-java6-sdk and saw the AMD64 so downloading that now. As for depends not so sure
[22:17] <xomp> omnydevi, yes, it's in my lap :-)
[22:18] <omnydevi> xomp - you try any ifconfig commands?
[22:18] <gerar> How do to install java on my computer?
[22:18] <xomp> omnydevi, no, but I just checked what kind of NIC it has in it and it says "National Semiconductor Corporation DP83815 (MacPhyter) Ethernet Controller.
[22:18] <omnydevi> xomp - i am not the best network guy out there by any means, i had this just happen once and all i had to do was ifconfig eth0 down and ifconfig eth0 up
[22:19] <omnydevi> xomp - well, sudo ifconfig eth0 down and sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[22:19] <__MAV> ASULutzy: That sounds great, thanks!
[22:19] <ASULutzy> __MAV: Yea, you could just do.... tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc exclude=/lost+found exclude=/backup.tgz exclude=/mnt exclude=/media exclude=/sys
[22:19] <HacKBoX_> RediXe: you can check this out. http://linuxappfinder.com/package/sun-java6-jre
[22:19] <xomp> omnydevi, ok, I'm doing that now
[22:19] <ASULutzy> __MAV: And to restore you could just do tar xvpfz backup.tgz -C /
[22:19] <lacita> I can't get the sound working on my Lenovo 3000 Y410. I have tried updating to the latest drivers, and altering the alsa_base file... It just won't work...
[22:20] <omnydevi> xomp - coo, if that does not work, I will have to wait till i get home. my 8.10 worked great oob, so i didnt have to tinker with a lot of things, not even sure what it looks like
[22:20] <Accidus> I just wanted to say thanks for anyone who assisted me in the past few days with my connection. Now I'm almost 100% sure the problem is with the ISP, since when I connect my laptop to the office wire, everything runs smoothly. Now the only thing left to do is fix the issue with the ISP and the hibernation issue for ubuntu
[22:21] <ASULutzy> __MAV: Er, syntax, cd / && tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc exclude=/lost+found exclude=/backup.tgz exclude=/mnt exclude=/media exclude=/sys /
[22:21] <qcjn2> hi, can i make that Ubuntu start right away, without asking a password

[22:22] <__MAV> ASULutzy: thank, you I think I'll give it a try
[22:23] <qcjn2> ok
[22:23] <evowill_> qcjnt, system > administration > login window > Security tab
[22:23] <lacita> I can't get the sound working on my Lenovo 3000 Y410. I have tried updating to the latest drivers, and altering the alsa_base file... It just won't work...
[22:24] <qcjn2> Activate automatic connexion
[22:24] <ryanakca> I have two encrypted partitions (LUKS, /home and swap) in my crypttab that I mount/decrypt every boot, both have the same passphrase... Is there a way to make it so that I only have to type in my passphrase once?
[22:24] <qcjn2> Checked & choosed the user, right ? thanks a lot
[22:25] <HacKBoX_> RediXe: I PM'd you
[22:25] <rostaman> Is this a good channel to ask Thunderbird questions in?
[22:26] <marabout> need help trying to finish Hardy. install typed "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"  now hoping to finish the process
[22:27] <user_> rostaman: just try.. ;-)
[22:28] <rostaman> no thanks, user_ ;-)
[22:29] <qcjn2> by the way, i was using hotkeyp, under window, that was really great. Is there something similar for Ubuntu ? i've read tha we could do more, in term of key shortcut with KDE ?
[22:29] <Bear7809> omnydevi: hey omny you in here?
[22:30] <omnydevi> Bear - yessir!
[22:30] <Bear7809> omnydevi: so i put in the command sudo vi /etc/x11/xorg.cong
[22:31] <Bear7809> omnydevi: i just get that in quotes at the bottom with [NEW DIRECTORY] right beside it
[22:31] <Canaen> Does anyone know how to change the soundclip Ubuntu plays on startup
[22:31] <Canaen> ?
[22:31] <Bear7809> omnydevi: then nothing, its not like i can do anything, and moving the arrow keys shows me no real progression.
[22:31] <omnydevi> Bear - one sec, let me find an example mate. can you see a web page?
[22:31] <Bear7809> yeah
[22:31] <omnydevi> sweet, one sec
[22:32] <Bear7809> omnydevi: do you mean in sudo vi?
[22:32] <marabout> does anyone know how to boot into ubuntu after doing get-update in terminal
[22:32] <omnydevi> Bear - go here http://www.linuxcompatible.org/help_with_xorg.conf_t31963.html
[22:32] <crdlb> Canaen: system > preferences > sound > sounds ?
[22:32] <user_> Canaen: system, preferences, sound
[22:32] <Bear7809> omnydevi: because if thats the case i just see a bunc of blue ~ and at the bottom is the directory you speak of. i can put in some commands but thats it.
[22:33] <omnydevi> Bear - yes, we have to sudo vi, i just do the wrong thing and right when i open a terminal the first thing i do is sudo su
[22:33] <marabout> i was installing from the hardy alternate iso and am stuck here not knowing what to do
[22:33] <omnydevi> bear - on that page, find where it says Section "Device"
[22:34] <omnydevi> bear - and Identifier  "Videocard0"
[22:34] <omnydevi> Bear - you need to sudo vi yours to have the next line say DRIVER "VESA"
[22:34] <Bear7809> thats why...you told me /etc/x11/xorg.conG i guess you missed the F
[22:35] <tritium> Bear7809: that's what tab-completion is handy for
[22:35] <Bear7809> omnydevi: that or i copied it wrong.
[22:36] <zamba> i need something to extract contacts and messages from a sony ericsson p1i
[22:36] <zamba> does anyone know if such a tool exists?
[22:36] <Canaen> thank you!
[22:37] <curt> hi everyone
[22:38] <curt> i have 2 computers being used by a group of 5 family members. could someone point me to an article on how to set up the two computers so that the users home directory will follow them between computers?
[22:40] <user_> curt: do you already have a network connection between the two comps?
[22:40] <curt> yes
[22:40] <woody86> can anyone give me a hand? When I try to upgrade to jaunty update-manager gives me this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/100624/
[22:41] <simulation> can you suggest any proxy server app for ubuntu ?
[22:41] <throwt> squid is one
[22:41] <curt> user_: yes
[22:42] <simulation> umm ok thanx throwt
[22:43] <rustenguin> hello
[22:43] <rustenguin> i have a question about security
[22:43] <user_> curt: ok
[22:43] <mamat_> hi, anyone know how i can disable bzr-notify automatic-useless applet?
[22:43] <genii> rustenguin: Ask away
[22:43] <Alexis> Why is the god damn python channel locked to registered nicks :@
[22:44] <thiebaude> !language
[22:44] <rustenguin> does phishing exist in gnu / linux?
[22:44] <genii> Alexis: Probably to prevent bots
[22:44] <mamat_> Alexis: quite annoying... especially when auto-register doesn't work anymore
[22:44] <FireStorm> rustenguin yes you can still be fooled to enter your bank information to a fake site
[22:45] <Zackfett> lol
[22:45] <Zackfett> true
[22:45] <rustenguin> and how can you avoid it
[22:45] <Alexis> mamat_: LAME!
[22:45] <rustenguin> is it easier
[22:45] <rustenguin> ?
[22:45] <Zackfett> ALWAYS view the source first
[22:45] <Zackfett> just to be safe
[22:45] <lacita> Ok, so now I have to suspend my machine to get the audio working. WTF?
[22:46] <stroyan> rustenguin: Firefox 3 has some anti-phising site checking.  And you can check that https certificates are valid.
[22:46] <rustenguin> ohh
[22:46] <mamat_> hi, anyone know how i can disable bzr-notify automatic-useless applet?
[22:46] <rustenguin> that sounds great
[22:46] <eli> hmm brasero won't let me burn video cds or dvds
[22:47] <eli> i add everything but the burn button is grayed out
[22:47] <Zackfett> i think i know eli
[22:47] <Zackfett> you might not have a burner
[22:47] <vesayth> Hello! I'm trying to set up my new wireless network card and am having some trouble. The model is WMP300N by Linksys. I installed ndiswrapper and set it up according to the guide posted here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/3973. It looks like it installed fine but I don't see the option to use it. Anyone have any ideas?
[22:47] <ttuttle> Hey.  I just tried to install the restricted extras, and it hung unpacking java.  I ran top, and nothing was happening, so I logged out and back in.  Now it says there's another package manager running, except there isn't.  How do I reset the lock?
[22:47] <ikonia> ttuttle: look at the lock file it's complaining about
[22:48] <stroyan> rustenguin: Look at the "Edit->Preferences" dialog and the "Security" tab in firefox 3.
[22:48] <rustenguin> ok
[22:48] <klenz> what do i need to format an xternal hdd to ntfs?? in gparted the ntfs option is greyed out??
[22:48] <ttuttle> ikonia: It says "Unable to get exclusive lock", that's all.
[22:48] <ttuttle> ikonia: Should I try apt-get?
[22:48] <lacita> klenz: get a gpated live CD.
[22:48] <eli> Zackfett: I have a dvd burner
[22:48] <ikonia> ttuttle: it still won't be able to get the lock
[22:48] <user_> curt: ubuntu on both computers?
[22:48] <eli> and it works in any other burning software
[22:48] <Zackfett> does your drive say dvd rw
[22:48] <klenz> lacita. ok
[22:49] <curt> user_: yes
[22:49] <rustenguin> i did activate the choice to avoid phishing
[22:49] <nonix4> Is there any reasonable way for figuring out which voltages lm-sensors *should* be reporting for your motherboard?
[22:49] <ikonia> ttuttle: a.) use ps -ef to look for a package manager running b.) look at /var/dpkg/lock for a file
[22:49] <duaneb> holy
[22:49] <duaneb> 1400 users in #ubuntu?
[22:49] <lacita> all lagging

[22:49] <eli> CD-RW/DVD±RW Drive
[22:49] <lacita> lol
[22:49] <omnydevi> Bear - you there?
[22:49] <eli> its the software or somthing
[22:50] <rustenguin> im not ubuntu user, sorry
[22:50] <eli> I have burned dvds before
[22:50] <eli> Brasero won't let me press the burn button
[22:50] <eli> a data disk with dvd works
[22:50] <eli> but video does not
[22:50] <tkach> I can't hear any sound. I just reinstalled 8.04 and no luck. I checked every single volume level...again, no dice. Is this most likely a hardware problem, what else can I try. (note: this is an old dell computer with a basic sound blaster card)
[22:51] <ttuttle> Damn, apt gets pissy when it decides to not do anything and I interrupt it not doing anything.
[22:51] <user_> curt: this might be a start, checked the first two entries, looks reasonable to me. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=connect+two+ubuntu+linux+home+network+home+shares&start=10&sa=N
[22:51] <lzantal> ASULutzy: Thank yo a bunch. It is working.Now I just have to wait to copy everything over
[22:51] <Zackfett> eli, have you tried burning it on windows?
[22:51] <ttuttle> Ah, killall -9 dpkg.
[22:52] <zicho> Ax-Ax, hej hej
[22:52] <eli> Zackfett I have burned DVDs onthis machine before it works
[22:52] <Ax-Ax> vad festligt
[22:52] <eli> in linux
[22:52] <eli> brasero is having some kind of glitch cause i can't even output to an image file
[22:53] <Zackfett> eli try using the add and remove program thing to get a new disk burner
[22:53] <Zackfett> im kind of a newb at this but im trying to help as best i can]
[22:54] <eli> Zackfett: that would be ignoring the problem, there must be why brasero won't burn it, brasero works with any other type of project
[22:54] <Turno1> so what are the odds that we'll get a new version of the nvidia driver before 9.04?
[22:54] <ttuttle> Hi.  Where do I get libdvdcss?
[22:54] <exodus_ms> apt-get
[22:55] <ttuttle> It says it has no installation candidate?
[22:55] <Zackfett> eli: thats what i mean, im trying to help but i cant help you with fixing it because i dont use brasero because i dont have a burner
[22:55] <exodus_ms> !restricted
[22:55] <rww> ttuttle: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[22:55] <eth01> how can i install adium?
[22:55] <exodus_ms> !codecs
[22:55] <rww> ttuttle: 1) install libdvdread3, 2) run the script it tells you on that page
[22:55] <ttuttle> rww: Thanks.
[22:55] <eli> Zackfett: well I really looked forward to an easy way to make dvds in linux
[22:55] <rww> eth01: Adium is only for Mac OS X. It's based off Pidgin, though, so you might want to try that.
[22:56] <Delvien> Having an issue with USB's mounting very slowly. anyone experience the same?
[22:56] <curt> hi all
[22:56] <Zackfett> Delvien: i have
[22:56] <eth01> rww: i thought there was a version for ubuntu?
[22:56] <exodus_ms> eli: what kind of dvd's
[22:56] <eth01> rww: alternatives would be, though?
[22:56] <Delvien> Zackfett: Did you fix it?
[22:56] <Zackfett> nope
[22:56] <mib_sgglsf> no adium for ubuntu
[22:56] <Delvien> Zackfett: what kind of PC?
[22:56] <eli> exodus_ms: DVD-r
[22:57] <Zackfett> some old one made for windows millenium
[22:57] <eli> exodus_ms: I also have dvd-RW and dvd+R as well
[22:57] <rww> eth01: not as far as I know. Adium makes extensive use of Apple's non-free libraries, so I doubt it'd ever happen. Alternatives would be Pidgin or Empathy for GNOME.
[22:57] <hrasko> hi
[22:57] <Blister> Photoshop
[22:57] <exodus_ms> eli: are you trying to create your own dvd from a recording i.e. camcorder, or backup?
[22:57] <curt> could someone point me to an article on how to configure two computers on a home netowrk so that the users´ home directory follows them between computers?
[22:57] <Blister> Dose photoshop work on WINE "out of the box" ????
[22:58] <Delvien> Zackfett: what kind of Mother board?
[22:58] <puppiesRcute> hello i was wondering i tried virtual box to load up my windows iso and with every os i try to run a error pops up each time even with linux iso's
[22:58] <rww> !appdb | Blister
[22:58] <hrasko> I just wanted to sign up
[22:58] <eli> exodus_ms: camcorder, the file is in avi format
[22:58] <Slart> curt: will you be using one as some kind of always on-server?
[22:58] <kitche> Blister: depends on which photoshop
[22:58] <Zackfett> last i checked a yellow one
[22:58] <rww> puppiesRcute: what error message do you get?
[22:58] <curt> Slart: yes
[22:58] <Delvien> Zackfett: .....
[22:58] <exodus_ms> eli: have you tried Kino?
[22:58] <Blister> kitche, its photoshop 7
[22:58] <Slart> curt: I would export the home folder using nfs..
[22:58] <Blister> but i may be abel to get hold of CS3
[22:58] <puppiesRcute> let me check real quick cant think of what it exactly says its all over the forums though same message
[22:58] <hrasko> I just wanted to sign up to ubuntu brainstorm but I didn't received the 'what-to-do-next' e-mail
[22:58] <Zackfett> i installed my 160 gbyte hard drive and my mother board is just yellow
[22:58] <heath|OTG> hello... is anyone running ubuntu on a LCD TV?
[22:59] <mib_sgglsf> hi hrasko
[22:59] <Slart> curt: and you're sure you want the same settings, same software etc on both computers?
[22:59] <mib_sgglsf> no sign up needed
[22:59] <mib_sgglsf> just ask
[22:59] <Zackfett> im good with computers just i dont know what you mean
[22:59] <eli> exodus_ms: well I'd rather try to get the out-of-box to work so that it is easier for people I meet to make dvds
[22:59] <Bart_> Blister, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2631
[22:59] <curt> Slart: sure
[22:59] <Blister> do you know any good sites to help a newbie to get to grips with the basics of using WINE ?
[22:59] <Bart_> Blister, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6584
[22:59] <Slart> curt: or is this for the purpose of sharing documents and such?
[22:59] <hrasko> hi mib_sgglsf, but I found the mail server that sends those e-mails is not configyured correctly
[22:59] <rww> hrasko: ask in #ubuntu-brainstorm
[23:00] <SlimeyPete> !wine
[23:00] <Bart_> Blister, install it ( apt-get install wine) and use it ..
[23:00] <zamba> i need to backup all my data (most importantly contacts and smses) from my sony ericsson mobile phone.. how do you suggest i do this?
[23:00] <eli> exodus_ms: its also wierd in that the properties menu is disabled when using a video project
[23:00] <rww> Blister: The people in #winedb might know thart sort of thing better than us :)
[23:00] <Slart> #winehq
[23:00] <exodus_ms> eli: what app are you trying to use
[23:00] <Blister> thank you rww
[23:00] <Delvien> Zackfett: If you dont know what i mean by "what kind of motherboard do you have" then I wont be able to diagnose the problem.
[23:00] <rww> Blister: #winehq **
[23:00] <hrasko> ok, hanks, just wanted to let to know someone that the mailserver is not confogured ok
[23:00] <mib_sgglsf> hrasko: thanks
[23:00] <erisco> how can I get the input of my TV card to be outputted through my onboard?
[23:00] <eli> exodus_ms: brasero
[23:00] <erisco> does that make sense?
[23:00] <curt> Slart: well, there are 5 family members sharing the 2 computers. It would be ideal if their documents and configurations could follow themback and forth between computers
[23:00] <hrasko> so I'll try ubuntu_brainstorm channel
[23:01] <thebigham> hello, how do you change the network management password. i'm not sure if thats wat its called. It the thing that pops up when you login, and asks for the password inorder to connect to a wireless network.
[23:01] <eth01> rww: i have also noticed that at login the password entry is just blank? (even if i enter the password)
[23:01] <Slart> curt: ok, you need to install the nfs server parts on the computer where the actual files will be stored.. the server machine or whatever we're going to call it
[23:01] <ikter> hello
[23:01] <curt> Slart: ok

[23:03] <ikter> using synaptic package manager
[23:03] <Slart> curt: should bring up some text.. some examples and comments
[23:03] <mib_sgglsf> ikter: so i have an old SB too.  figure out what kind it is, do a #modprobe <x>   where x is driver name , such as snd-sb16   for the old 16bit card
[23:03] <rww> eth01: you mean the GNOME graphical login? or some other login?

[23:04] <Slart> curt: ok.. this file (/etc/exports) defines what folders are shared, who gets to use them and so on
[23:04] <exodus_ms> eli: there are several really good apps you could use besides brasero, just because they are not installed by default soes not mean they will not work 'out-of-the-box' have you tried DeVeDe, QDVDAuthor, DVDStyler, AcidRip, and DVD::Rip.
[23:04] <ikter> i had in the past installed on the same computer
[23:04] <ikter> linux
[23:04] <ikter> ubuntu 8.10
[23:04] <curt> Slart: ok, seems clear enough
[23:04] <Slart> curt: does the other computer have a fixed ip-number?
[23:05] <ikter> using wubi
[23:05] <mib_sgglsf> ikter : cant tell u why it suddenly doesnt work.  thats all I know -- how i got MINE to work
[23:05] <ikter> no problems with kopete
[23:05] <curt> Slart: I can set it up with one
[23:05] <ikter> now since something changed, i cannot handle anymore :)
[23:05] <Slart> curt: and is the local network reasonably safe?
[23:05] <eli> I have tried  DeVeDe, QDVDAuthor, and DVD::Rip and they don't seem to function ass well + they have glitches
[23:05] <curt> Slart: yeah, local netwrok is safe
[23:05] <mib_sgglsf> ikter: sorry :(   anyone else know what kopete couldv'e changed???
[23:06] <ikter> :(
[23:06] <lacita> What's the command to identify what version I'm running?

[23:06] <tritium> syn-fin: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[23:06] <ikter> if i invite someone, nothing happens
[23:06] <Slart> curt: what I've done on my home network is simple add a line such as this one "/media/disk    192.168.0.100(rw,sync)"
[23:07] <ikter> but when i go to configure menu
[23:07] <Slart> curt: this allows the computer with that ip access to the folder /media/disk
[23:07] <erisco> I have input coming in on my TV card. how can I view it on ubuntu?
[23:07] <ikter> on video, my webcam is turning ok
[23:07] <ikter> on**
[23:07] <ikter> that means kopete actually sees the webcam
[23:07] <Slart> curt: if you're more paranoid than I am you can add all kinds of security to this.. you'll have to read the nfs manual if you want to know how to set that up
[23:07] <curt> Slart: ok
[23:08] <curt> Slart: then getting the folder to auto mount on the other computer?
[23:08] <ikter> it's not about just the stupid webcam, just that i want to figure it out :D
[23:08] <Slart> curt: ah... first we have to do one more thing on the server
[23:08] <ikter> and i don't know how
[23:08] <curt> Slart: ok
[23:08] <mib_sgglsf> ikter: one other thing to try: if sound used to work, and driver is NOT needed, did you check PREFs>SOUND to make sure its not set to AUTODETECT but rather to ALSA
[23:08] <Slart> curt: you have to run "sudo exportfs" to make the it read the file and share the folders accordingly
[23:10] <Slart> curt: now.. I'm not entirely sure on how to do this for multiple users.. I've just added a line in my /etc/fstab that looks like this.."192.168.0.1:/media/disk/markus /home/markus/markus@comp01 nfs rw 0 0"
[23:10] <erisco> I have input coming in on my TV card. how can I view it on ubuntu?
[23:10] <curt> Slart: ok, maybe some googling will turn up some answers
[23:11] <Gletob> erisco: what model is it
[23:11] <Slart> curt: that will mount the folder /media/disk/markus on my server (192.168.0.1) to /home/markus/markus@comp01 on my desktop
[23:11] <erisco> Gletob, its a haupagge
[23:11] <Slart> curt: I almost think you'll have to mount the folder with all the home folders as /home
[23:11] <Gletob> erisco: what model?
[23:12] <ikter> on the configuration i have only "accounts, contact list, status, chat window, video and plugins"
[23:12] <Slart> curt: so you don't mount each home folder separately..
[23:12] <Turno1> erisco: do you know the model? is it an internal card, or an external usb device?
[23:12] <ikter> noting about sound :S
[23:12] <xoc> I have ubuntu and I cannot install vlc using sudo apt-get install vlc
[23:12] <erisco> Turno1, Gletob, its an internal card. I will see if I can find the model on it
[23:12] <curt> Slart: ok
[23:12] <xoc> it says vlc-nox has stuff it cannot install
[23:12] <Slart> curt: and of course.. ubottu will gladly hand out advice.. !nfs is a good place to start
[23:12] <Slart> !nfs | curt
[23:12] <bearhunter> wat wit flash and ubunutu crash
[23:13] <bearhunter> someone tell me wtf is up
[23:13] <ikter> xoc, use the add/remove
[23:13] <bearhunter> please..
[23:13] <erisco> Turno1, Gletob, its upside down and I cannot see it at the moment. how will the particular model help?
[23:13] <xoc> Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
[23:13] <xoc> the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
[23:13] <tritium> bearhunter: English, please
[23:13] <xoc> that package should be filed.
[23:13] <ikter> and search for vlc and aply install
[23:13] <aberratic> ihj
[23:13] <aberratic> nvm
[23:13] <erisco> Turno1, Gletob, I tried viewing it in Totem but it said "Totem is missing a channels listing to be able to tune the receiver."
[23:13] <Slart> bearhunter: easy now.. breathe in.. breathe out... now, tell us what's wrong.. details are good, versions are good etc
[23:13] <curt> Slart: something else occurred to me as well. the server should probably manage the user accounts
[23:13] <Turno1> erisco: because there are a couple of very different types of tuner cards, knowing what you have is helpful
[23:13] <Gletob> erisco different models have different components, driver requirements, and configurations
[23:14] <curt> Slart: in case someone changes their password and such
[23:14] <Skkyt> Is there an app that takes all files in a given folder and can rename them based on a certain specification?  Like image001.jpg, image002.jpg etc?
[23:14] <Turno1> erisco: thats good, it sounds like your card is working, you just need to scan for channels
[23:14] <ubuntu__> can anyone tell me how to configure sound on a dell latitude d830
[23:14] <erisco> Turno1, Gletob, well I tried w_scan but it complains that my device is the "wrong type"
[23:14] <Slart> curt: well.. yes.. that might be a good idea.. since it's only 2 computers changing the passwords manually might not be that hard.. but setting up some kind of server based login would be fancy =)
[23:14] <xoc> ok thanks
[23:15] <kitche> Skkyt: you could write a small i loop to do that
[23:15] <erisco> Turno1, Gletob, http://pastey.net/105622
[23:15] <Unknownuser56> In case of FHSS the data ( of a package,let's say ) is sent in one frequency whilein DSS the data of the package is sent in different channel frequencies ,correct ?
[23:15] <erisco> Turno1, Gletob, if you really need that model number I will have to shutdown and get back to you
[23:15] <bearhunter> i forggot that the flash problem with  ubuntu didnt exist hardy hr har
[23:15] <Slart> curt: I'm not really sure on how to set that up though.. never messed with centralized user management in linux
[23:16] <Gletob> erisco: if it's an internal card put the output of lspci on pastey
[23:16] <curt> Slart: Iĺl go for fancy. The users are not very computer-literate and I live 6 hours away
[23:16] <erisco> Turno1, Gletob, HDTV MVR 1800
[23:16] <curt> Slart: fancy is always more fun anyways
[23:16] <erisco> sorry lol
[23:16] <seek_therapy> is Ubuntu  dapper , gutsy or feisty?
[23:16] <Slart> curt: =)
[23:16] <funkapus> anyone able to get vpnc working recently?  i had it working successfully a few weeks ago, but it's badly broken now (since i moved off networkmanager to /etc/network/interfaces; tried going back to networkmanager too, with no joy).
[23:16] <erisco> Turno1, Gletob, Win-TV HVR 1800
[23:17] <Slart> seek_therapy: those are all versions of ubuntu
[23:17] <Turno1> erisco: okay, hang on one second while i look that up
[23:17] <Slart> seek_therapy: the latest one is intrepid
[23:17] <rio> on my thinkpad r61, the brightness control doesnt work anymore, is there a fix for this behavior? :(
[23:17] <exodus_ms> seek_therapy: Intrepid is newest version
[23:17] <seek_therapy> ok
[23:17] <seek_therapy> thanks

[23:17] <ikter> anyone can help me regarding the webcam on kopete ?
[23:17] <rww> seek_therapy: eek, sorry, wrong link
[23:17] <curt> Slart: thanks a ton for your help. got me off to a good start. Iḿ relatively new to linux and I'm loving Ubuntu
[23:17] <erisco> Turno1, Gletob, http://pastey.net/105623
[23:17] <ikter> just doesn't work
[23:17] <Slart> seek_therapy: here's a list of all the versions.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Ubuntu
[23:17] <mker> Does anyone use disk encryption? I'd like to hear if (or how much) it slows down your system. I'm using an Intel Core2Duo4500 @ 2.20 Ghz. Would I for example be able to use bittorrent at 10mb/s (both up and down full speed) while watching an HD movie in x264?
[23:17] <rww> seek_therapy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[23:18] <Slart> curt: you're welcome, hope you get your little network up and running.. fancy style =)
[23:19] <seek_therapy> because i upgraded my cousins version of Ubuntu and her sound isnt working
[23:19] <erisco> Gletob, did the paste help you?
[23:19] <tkzao> http://www.sexy-lena.com/?uid=36564
[23:19] <mib_sgglsf> ikter: and u checked sound preferences from main system menu?
[23:19] <mib_sgglsf> ikter: for ALSA and NOT auto detect?
[23:19] <ikter> i will now
[23:19] <Unknownuser56> In case of FHSS the entire data ( of a package,let's say ) is sent in one frequency while in DSDS the data of the package is sent in different channel frequencies ,correct ?
[23:20] <vesayth> Hello! I need some help with installing a wireless network card (WMP300N by Linksys). I installed ndiswrapper and installed the windows wireless driver from the cd, and verified it with 'ndiswrapper -l.' When I try to use ndiswrraper -m I get two copies of the message: 'module configuration already contains alias directive.' I have no Enable Wireless option when i right click my network manager icon. Anyone have any ideas?

[23:20] <user_> mker: you may ask in truecrypt channel f.e.
[23:20] <Turno1> erisco : http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_HVR-1800
[23:20] <mker> user_, I'm wondering about the one used in ubuntu installer (dm-crypt is it?) not truecrypt.
[23:21] <Turno1> erisco : it looks like you will need to get a little dirty to get your tuner to work
[23:21] <erisco> Turno1, kernel recompilation?
[23:21] <ikter> mib_sgglsf: should i change all of them to ALSA ?
[23:21] <user_> mker: then that one :-)
[23:21] <erisco> Turno1, I am not going that far =\
[23:21] <Turno1> erisco : so say the mythtv guys, and they are the largest community of tv tuner using folks in linux
[23:22] <mib_sgglsf> ikter: thats what worked for ME
[23:22] <Turno1> erisco : it looks like you will need to at least compile the latest version of v4l-dvb
[23:22] <Gletob> erisco could you install mplayer from the repos please
[23:22] <mib_sgglsf> but no guarantees ;)
[23:22] <laderius> Whats something for ubuntu to kinda spice up the desktop?
[23:22] <mker> user_, well, I am in that channel right now?
[23:22] <ikter> ok
[23:22] <ikter> i will try now
[23:22] <ikter> all are ALSA
[23:22] <erisco> Gletob, I have it installed
[23:22] <Unknownuser56> In case of FHSS the entire data ( of a package,let's say ) is sent in one frequency from whereafter it changes the channel frequency while in DSSS the data of the package is sent in different channel frequencies ,correct ?

[23:23] <ikter> doesn't work :(
[23:24] <erisco> Gletob, random static
[23:24] <thebigham> How do you auto mount the windows partition?
[23:24] <erisco> Gletob, mostly green
[23:24] <user_> mker: here in #ubuntu so far noone answered, so you could check for a #dm-crypt channel or check their maillist archives for figures
[23:24] <mib_sgglsf> cool it tzkao
[23:24] <rww> thebigham: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[23:24] <erisco> Gletob, that may not be the right device though...
[23:24] <lacita> Ok, so now I have to suspend my machine to get the audio working. WTF?
[23:24] <vesayth> Or are there any channels that are specifically for wireless networking problems?
[23:25] <Gletob> erisco: try "mplayer pvr://dev/video0"
[23:25] <Unknownuser56> rww,not off-topic,if you can't even give constructive critisism,then don
[23:25] <Unknownuser56> t
[23:25] <erisco> Gletob, the device that w_scan reports is /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
[23:25] <mib_sgglsf> ikter: i'm sorry... from here thats all i could think of; not that familiar with kopete -- I just know,like i said, that older soundblasters sometimes require a differetn driver.  BUT -- if you had it already working, i'm not sure what got broken
[23:26] <lacita> #no
[23:26] <erisco> Gletob, with "PVR" [encoder] device do not support MPEG input.
[23:26] <billybigrigger> how do i set my default torrent client?
[23:26] <Slart> Unknownuser56: we try to keep this channel for ubuntu-support only
[23:26] <Gletob> erisco: run "mplayer tv://dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0" and see what that dows
[23:26] <Turno1> erisco : this forum thread looks helpful, but it's a little old
[23:26] <Turno1> erisco : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=550276
[23:26] <erisco> Gletob, same green static
[23:27] <Slart> Unknownuser56: the channel is crowded and busy as it is
[23:27] <Trenter> Question:  I have been using wine a lot recently and I've uninstalled a lot programs that do not work.  Is there some sort of bug that keeps programs in the "programs" section of wine even after I have uninstalled them through the wine uninstaller?
[23:27] <erisco> Gletob, it is output from an xbox, if that helps
[23:27] <yaris123456789> hey guys i am moving lot of image files from one server to another. but if i wget too fast, the server automatically throttles it. i cannot control the server hosting the image. so how to speed up this process without waiting 2 days for everything to transfer? run multiple instances of wget?
[23:27] <nbeebo> i want my speaker output to also be my microphone input, what can i do?
[23:27] <ikter> on the other hand, when another person is inviting me, it pop up the message, but when i accept... nothing happens :(
[23:28] <Turno1> Gletob: he may just need to select svideo or composite....
[23:28] <AndreasMadrid> hi
[23:28] <Slart> Trenter: mm.. it does that for me too.. don't know if it's a bug or just an unimplemented feature.. you can edit the menu if you want.. or ask in #winehq for advice
[23:28] <johnzorn> anyone one use the closed source version virtualbox 2.1?
[23:28] <Turno1> erisco : how is the xbox connected to the tuner? composite (yellow), svideo or coax?
[23:28] <erisco> Turno1, I bookmarked it, thanks
[23:28] <AndreasMadrid> where does ubuntu get the weather information from?
[23:28] <mib_sgglsf> anyone know where Ikter can go for help with Kopete?
[23:28] <rww> Trenter: yeah, there is. One of the subfolders of /home/yourusername/.local/ has all the icons in it; I deleted them from there and they went away.
[23:28] <erisco> Turno1, composite
[23:28] <Turno1> erisco : lets see real quick about just selecting the composite input
[23:29] <AndreasMadrid> it's fine for most places but for Berlin Germany it's totally wrong, always
[23:29] <Turno1> erisco : i have no idea how to do that with mplayer
[23:29] <Slart> yaris123456789: that might be one way.. if the server doesn't realise both connections are from the same ip
[23:29] <ensay> yaris123456789 -> both ends you own and they are on same room?
[23:29] <rww> Trenter: (.local is hidden in the GUI File Browser by default; press Ctrl-H to show hidden files.)
[23:29] <Turno1> erisco : ;) hang on
[23:29] <ikter> webcam doesn't work on kopete :(
[23:29] <erisco> Turno1, I can also do svideo (that is the circular one right?) because I have an adapter
[23:29] <Slart> AndreasMadrid: doesn't it say somewhere in the preferences for the weather thingy?
[23:29] <ubuntu_noob> which module on the 8.10 livecd is for ext4? I need to mount a partition... ext4dev doesn't work :/
[23:29] <yaris123456789> Slart: yes
[23:29] <erisco> Turno1, this all started when I mistook HDMI for meaning "the xbox comes with an HDMI cable"
[23:29] <mib_sgglsf> ikter:  sorry again.  have to log off...   good luck!
[23:29] <ubuntu_noob> hi :)
[23:30] <erisco> Turno1, so my monitor does not take it :P it'll be quite a while till I can get anywhere to find an appropriate adapter for it too, so
[23:30] <ikter> thx for help
[23:30] <kitche> ubuntu_noob: why not just mount the partition as ext3?
[23:30] <ikter> bye
[23:30] <Turno1> erisco : so you really just need a hdmi cable?
[23:30] <AndreasMadrid> Slart: dunno. i just found the option to show weather, togetzher with the time and date, but not, where the info comes from. For madrid it's accurate, but for Berlin it shows 4°C whereas it's actually -11°C
[23:30] <Turno1> erisco : cause that would be so much simpler
[23:30] <AndreasMadrid> and not only today
[23:31] <Bart_> Question: When I unload a module with  modprobe -r ***  is the device turned off?
[23:31] <erisco> Turno1, I know, but it will be at least a week until I can get one
[23:31] <ubuntu_noob> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,
[23:31] <erisco> Turno1, so I dug up a TV card and was hoping that'd do it
[23:31] <ubuntu_noob> doesn't work
[23:31] <Trenter> That did it, thanks rww
[23:31] <ubuntu_noob> the partition was formatted with 2.6.28 ext4 module
[23:31] <Slart> AndreasMadrid: hmm.. I searched the preferences box and there's no urls or anything.. perhaps some wiretapping might tell us what url it goes to
[23:31] <laderius> My video card drivers are apparently reset, it said an error at startup saying it could not communiticate with my gfx card now my resloution is very large and im not sure how to fix it.
[23:31] <erisco> Turno1, and I don't need an hdmi cable, I need an hdmi adapter, from composite to hdmi

[23:32] <ubuntu_noob> well I tried: mount -o ro -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt/data/
[23:32] <exodus_ms> is there a way I can configure the terminal to use 'split-windows' similar to irssi?
[23:32] <Turno1> erisco : you know the picture you're going to get with your tv tuner will not be HD, right?
[23:32] <Bart_> Simpele?? question: When I unload a module with  modprobe -r ***  is the device turned off?
[23:32] <kitche> ubuntu_noob: should work considering ext4 is backwards compatible but I believe ubuntu doesn't support ext4 yet but if you do mount -t ext4 it should auto load th ext4 module
[23:32] <funkja> How can I change the swap partition that ubuntu is using?
[23:32] <erisco> Turno1, if I can see my xbox display, yes :P
[23:32] <AndreasMadrid> Slart dunno about that, am pretty nooob. Just wanted to report to you guys that it works fine for other destinations that i treid, but that fpr Berlin it's been way too high for days now. Maybe someone relies on it...
[23:33] <hrasko_> the mailserver that sends e-mails from brainstorm registration process is not configured properly

[23:33] <ubuntu_noob> I checked the lib/modules folder on the lifecd but only ext4dev, so I did modprobe ext4dev and doesn't :/
[23:33] <Slart> AndreasMadrid: I doubt NASA is using the weather applet to time their launches.. =) I'll see if I can find where it comes from though..
[23:33] <hrasko_> someone should fix it I guess
[23:33] <erisco> Turno1, well, I have the info I need to compile the drivers. I will try to work that out.
[23:33] <ubuntu_noob> doesn't work, but module loaded correctly
[23:33] <b1gbawx> ever since i selected x windows to not load on startup my usb external harddrive wont load while in x. how to i set it to load usb once x loads

[23:39] <Paddy_EIRE> meekatron, I cannot remember the exact command
[23:39] <erisco> Turno1, what other TV cards are there?

[23:41] <rww> mas2: put sudo in front of it: "sudo fdisk -l"
[23:41] <Turno1> gogereaver, erisco : i use mythtv
[23:41] <gogereaver> xawtv and tvtime are god apps to use with a tv card
[23:41] <gogereaver> good
[23:42] <mas2> rww:  thanks!
[23:42] <gogereaver> lighter then myth to
[23:42] <laderius> My Video card drivers have been defaulted to whats seems to be none, i have a very large display... when i installed earlier they worked fine and i updated to the nvidia ones under propierty drivers earlier, now thats not avaible. i have the nvidia drivers installed but my resloution is still really low, how can i fix this?
[23:42] <gogereaver> normaly installing those make myth work to
[23:42] <gogereaver> sence they grab the drivers
[23:42] <Turno1> i have an hvr-950... it's usb... and i had to follow pretty much those directions exactly to get mine working
[23:42] <erisco> Turno1, I am not sure how to open the device correctly with VLC, gogereaver
[23:43] <gogereaver> erisco thought you where using a xbox?
[23:43] <mas2> rww: it doesn't say how big the partions is tho? can I just something like -something to get that?
[23:43] <Vigo> Hello
[23:43] <erisco> gogereaver, yes, so?
[23:43] <gogereaver> thought where whanted video playback
[23:43] <gogereaver> you
[23:43] <erisco> gogereaver, I want my xbox output to play on my screen, yes
[23:43] <gogereaver> ohhhh
[23:44] <gogereaver> 360 or orignal
[23:44] <rww> mas2: For non-swap partitions, "df -H" will do that.
[23:44] <erisco> gogereaver, 360
[23:44] <Slart> AndreasMadrid: seems it's using http://weather.noaa.gov
[23:44] <gogereaver> the 360 should output to a tv just fine built in
[23:44] <Slart> AndreasMadrid: I just thought of something else.. are the coordinates for Berlin correct?
[23:44] <erisco> gogereaver, okay, so how do I get it from my tv card to my screen? that is the issue
[23:44] <gogereaver> but i think its ment for hd
[23:45] <gogereaver> ohhh
[23:45] <gogereaver> not a hacked 460
[23:45] <gogereaver> trying to output a tv card
[23:45] <laderius> My Video card drivers have been defaulted to whats seems to be none, i have a very large display... when i installed earlier they worked fine and i updated to the nvidia ones under propierty drivers earlier, now thats not avaible. i have the nvidia drivers installed but my resloution is still really low, how can i fix this?
[23:45] <erisco> gogereaver, its not hacked, no
[23:45] <gogereaver> sweiswitch the tv cars oinput to componet
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !sparrow has a suggestion for a factoid
[23:45] <Turno1> erisco : try tvtime
[23:45] <gogereaver> switch
[23:46] <Slart> AndreasMadrid: there are more than one Berlin in the lists.. one shows 4C and one -11C..
[23:46] <gogereaver> you just need to change the mode
[23:46] <AndreasMadrid> Slart coordinates are correct. I changed for another Berlin weather station and it works. Seems it's a prob with that specific station
[23:46] <erisco> gogereaver, I am not quite following you
[23:46] <AndreasMadrid> Slart yes.
[23:46] <ym1> ﻿hello happy new year
[23:46] <gogereaver> erisco its probly in tv tunermode
[23:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !no, Sparrow has a suggestion for a factoid
[23:46] <erisco> gogereaver, probably. what do I need to do?
[23:47] <Bart_> How do I disable my wireless network hardware????
[23:47] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, what are you trying to do man?
[23:47] <mib_70r1ae> hello?
[23:47] <ym1> ﻿I would like to make myself a present, a laptop that just work under ubuntu, ﻿suspend/resume included  :-)
[23:47] <AndreasMadrid> Slart I had chosen Airport Tempelhof as it's closest to my home, and that one was the malfuntioning one. have changed to Tegel now, so i have correct values. Thanks
[23:47] <gogereaver> erisco it should be in the menus somewhere it verys on the softwhere thow
[23:47] <Turno1> gogereaver: i'm in here in vlc and it doesn't have the option to choose the input
[23:47] <ym1> ﻿There are several contenders on my list : system 76 (gazelle or pengolin), lenovo (T500)  and dell (xps)
[23:47] <mib_70r1ae> I have a noob question regarding installing Ubuntu?
[23:47] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[23:47] <Slart> AndreasMadrid: yes, those were the ones I checked on the website.. you're welcome
[23:47] <Paddy_EIRE> !ask | mib_70r1ae
[23:47] <caffe> ciao
[23:47] <gogereaver> capture device your tv card souce would be where it can be changed
[23:47] <AndreasMadrid> :-)
[23:48] <mib_70r1ae> umm, can I use a usb drive to install ubuntu on my hd?
[23:48] <Paddy_EIRE> yes
[23:48] <rww> !usb | mib_70r1ae
[23:48] <gogereaver> myth and tvtime can both do this as well
[23:48] <gogereaver> better
[23:48] <Turno1> erisco : would you be willing to try a different program? I think it's more suited to your card
[23:48] <laderius> My Video card drivers have been defaulted to whats seems to be none, i have a very large display... when i installed earlier they worked fine and i updated to the nvidia ones under propierty drivers earlier, now thats not avaible. i have the nvidia drivers installed but my resloution is still really low, how can i fix this?
[23:48] <AndreasMadrid> Slart I'll call the templehof weather stattion maybe they can change that
[23:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE, Hi, yea , we were testing something
[23:48] <exodus_ms> !italian
[23:48] <ym1> ﻿I would like to know first if I am missing an excellent laptop ? and then get some feedback from users of one of these 3 laptops.
[23:48] <gogereaver> yea agreed use tvtime for this
[23:48] <funkja> what would happen if I booted without any swap space defined?
[23:48] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, ah.. looks like a handy method if that is the usage
[23:49] <mib_70r1ae> and will I be able to use compizfusion well? (I have a 2.5 GHZ amd dual proc with 2 GB of ram and 256 Graphics)
[23:49] <Slart> AndreasMadrid: good idea
[23:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE, They still must be approved before they become a factoid
[23:49] <gogereaver> mob yes very well
[23:49] <erisco> Turno1, I tried tvtime
[23:49] <Turno1> yeah?
[23:49] <erisco> Turno1, got another idea?
[23:49] <gogereaver> mib
[23:49] <Turno1> nope
[23:49] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, hell yeah.. otherwise it would be mad :)
[23:49] <rww> funkja: if you have a reasonable amount of memory, it should boot fine. I don't think I have one set up right now, actually...
[23:49] <gogereaver> in tvtime where it says something like ntsc or pal
[23:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE, Yea, it was..
[23:49] <erisco> Turno1, tvtime outputted typical TV static when I selected the television input
[23:49] <gogereaver> use that menu and change it mode
[23:49] <Vigo> I cannot read these little letters,,,brb
[23:49] <erisco> Turno1, and a black screen when I chose composite
[23:49] <Turno1> oh! oh!
[23:50] <Turno1> okay, well then turn on your xbox
[23:50] <gogereaver> you dont whant tv input
[23:50] <erisco> Turno1, it is on...
[23:50] <Turno1> and select tv on that tv / hdmi switch
[23:50] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, you accepted factoids before without approval :/
[23:50] <erisco> Turno1, it is switched to TV =\
[23:50] <HacKBoX_> !b43
[23:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE, at one point in time..yes
[23:50] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, hehe.. mad
[23:50] <gogereaver> it should be displaying your xbox then
[23:50] <mib_70r1ae> and tell me if this is weird, I run windows vista fine with aeor enabled but when i try to install fedora or mandriva (it doesn't go, the mouse freezes at a black screen)
[23:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !bcm43xx
[23:50] <gogereaver> is the tv part working ?
[23:51] <Turno1> gogereaver: he gets static
[23:51] <erisco> Turno1, I get static and nothing but static heh
[23:51] <dbbolton> can anyone tell me how to create a new user and set the home directory to an existing directory?
[23:51] <HacKBoX_> !bcm43xx
[23:51] <Turno1> erisco: got anything else you could plug up to the composite in real quick?
[23:51] <gogereaver> you dont have it hooked to cable or anything
[23:51] <exodus_ms> mib_70r1ae: have you installed Ubuntu?
[23:51] <kitche> Jack_Sparrow: hmm odd that bcm43xx factoid still exists since bcm43xx driver is deprecited for b43
[23:51] <maxb> Has anyone managed to get suspend/wakeup to work with fglrx in intrepid?
[23:51] <rww> dbbolton: do you want to do that in graphics mode or on the command line?
[23:51] <dbbolton> rww command line
[23:52] <Paddy_EIRE> kitche, tis just as well as it needs style cleanup any way
[23:52] <Turno1> erisco : does the xbox have a screensaver?
[23:52] <dbbolton> rww the gnome users-admin tool wouldn't let me do it
[23:52] <Jack_Sparrow> kitche, bcm43x is the chipset not to be confused with b43 or fwcutter etc
[23:52] <AndreasMadrid> ok, am leaving
[23:52] <AndreasMadrid> bye
[23:52] <gogereaver> yea it sounds like his xbox isnt sending out a single
[23:52] <mib_70r1ae> once i make my usb stick bootable can i still use it to save files on?
[23:52] <laderius> can someone help me reset my drivers
[23:53] <gogereaver> mib yes
[23:53] <kitche> Jack_Sparrow: well the url says Driver so in essence I still think it's confusing I know bc43xx is a chipset sicne I have a broadcom wireless card myself
[23:53] <rww> dbbolton: sudo useradd -d /path/to/home/directory username
[23:53] <FireStorm> something is wrong with my windows because the uninstaller of wubi doesnt work and the wubi installer doesnt work from the site AND on the cd so does anyone know what is required to run the wubi installer/uninstaller... files are md5 checked
[23:53] <erisco> Turno1, it isn't anything like a screensaver
[23:53] <erisco> Turno1, nothing else
[23:53] <dbbolton> rww thanks
[23:53] <mib_70r1ae> gogereaver, do i have to remove the bootable part? or will it work like normal
[23:53] <gogereaver> firestorm you can just delete the files manuly
[23:53] <Turno1> the only other thing i could suggest would be to try svideo
[23:54] <laderius> My Video card drivers have been defaulted to whats seems to be none, i have a very large display... when i installed earlier they worked fine and i updated to the nvidia ones under propierty drivers earlier, now thats not avaible. i have the nvidia drivers installed but my resloution is still really low, how can i fix this?
[23:54] <Turno1> its usually better anyway
[23:54] <gogereaver> delete the image and remove the ubuntu line from the windows boot.ini
[23:54] <Jack_Sparrow> FireStorm, I wont use or recommend wubi..
[23:54] <FireStorm> but i also need to INSTALL
[23:54] <rww> Jack_Sparrow: The more I hang out here, the more I agree with you on that >.>
[23:54] <FireStorm> ya i want to reinstall
[23:54] <Jack_Sparrow> laderius, Which nvidia card
[23:54] <FireStorm> and the wubi installer doesnt run
[23:54] <Vigo> Wowies! is HUGE
[23:55] <rww> Vigo: welcome to the largest channel on Freenode ;)
[23:55] <gogereaver> laderious dpkg-reconfigure xorg
[23:55] <gogereaver> xborg-server
[23:55] <Jack_Sparrow> FireStorm, see the wubi factoid, in general we dont think too highly of it
[23:55] <gogereaver> baa
[23:55] <wj32> rww: yet only a few people are actually talking
[23:55] <gogereaver> you can reset driver setting in there
[23:55] <Vigo> Thank you rww
[23:55] <kitche> rww: there are bigger channels just they are secret anywyas getting offtopic :)
[23:55] <FireStorm> brb dinner
[23:55] <exodus_ms> is there a way to get the terminal to behave like 'Terminator' without running an emulator?
[23:56] <laderius> Jack_Sparrow Nvidia geforce 8800GTS
[23:56] <nbeebo> i want my speaker output to also be my microphone input, what can i do?
[23:56] <unlink> why might i not be getting any signal to my monitor through my DVI cable, but DVI->VGA converter + VGA cable works? I've tried different cables
[23:56] <rww> !info Terminator | exodus_ms, you mean this terminator?
[23:56] <Jack_Sparrow> laderius, sudo nvidia-xconfig from a terminal..
[23:56] <rww> !info terminator | exodus_ms, you mean this terminator?
[23:56] <wj32> nbbebo: what program are you recording with
[23:56] <Paddy_EIRE> exodus_ms, that makes no sense... just install terminator
[23:56]  * rww mutters mean things about case-sensitivity >.>
[23:56] <Jack_Sparrow> laderius, then sudo nvidia-settings
[23:56] <exodus_ms> rww: yes, I have installed terminator but wish not to use emulation
[23:56] <laderius> k sec
[23:57] <Kalisto> hey guys i need some help. i removed a package that tool a ton of packages with it. my system is barely usable. is there a way i can reinstall the removed packages (ie standard ubuntu install)?
[23:57] <nbeebo> wj32, nothing, but if i did would it be easier?
[23:57] <wj32> nbeebo: it should let you select the audio input, and i'm pretty sure they offer wave out
[23:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Kalisto, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[23:57] <wj32> nbeebo: well, i remember that in windows, audacity let you do that
[23:58] <rww> Kalisto: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal
[23:58] <Paddy_EIRE> exodus_ms, explain what you think emulation means?
[23:58] <laderius> Jack_Sparrow Sudo nvidia-settings = command not found
[23:58] <rww> Kalisto: sorry, apt-get, not aptitude
[23:58] <Kalisto> Jack_Sparrow: does ubuntu keep a log of its removed packages?
[23:58] <Kalisto> thanks guys
[23:58] <Jack_Sparrow> laderius, sudo nvidia-xconfig from a terminal.. did that work
[23:58] <laderius> yes
[23:58] <gogereaver> sounds ike the driver install failed
[23:58] <laderius> backed u the file
[23:58] <Vigo> Does apt-get seamonkey 1.1.14 work if I want that browser?
[23:58] <nbeebo> wj32, you understand i mean the sound that comes out of the speaker should also come in my microphone? not the other way around
[23:59] <wj32> nbeebo: oh i see
[23:59] <rww> Kalisto: there's a log of all package actions at /var/log/apt/term.log (try sudo nano /var/log/apt/term.log)
[23:59] <kitche> Vigo: sudo apt-get install seamonkey will install seamonkey
[23:59] <exodus_ms> Paddy_EIRE: I have installed Terminator, just don't want to use a terminal emulator.
[23:59] <nbeebo> wj32, thanks anyway not good at phrasing
[23:59] <Jack_Sparrow> laderius, log out then in and then try to run the second command
[23:59] <Vigo> kitches: Thank you
[23:59] <laderius> brb
[23:59] <Paddy_EIRE> exodus_ms, then how do you intend on running it :/
[23:59] <wj32> nbeebo: uh, you mean you say something into the mic and it comes out your speaker?
[23:59] <gogereaver> exodus you do relese any term in x is a emulator
[23:59] <Paddy_EIRE> exodus_ms, you do realise its built from gnome-terminal
[23:59] <Paddy_EIRE> exodus_ms, which is a terminal emulator
