[00:01] <techsupport> how can i prevent ubuntu server 8.10 to turn  of monitor after inactivity ?
[00:02] <|unjustice|> IceBall: I think there is a dependency I am lacking...will check
[00:02] <Ward1983> does some good soul feel like helping me out by trying to compile gephex and see whats wrong? i searched for a solution for about a day and i'm simply out of options for linux :(  -  www.gephex.org
[00:02] <IceBall> |unjustice|, ok
[00:02] <jp_sf> datta: anyway: when you open volume control click Edit click preference then check the line-in and micophones, you should then have a new tab in the open volume window where you can define the input source
[00:02] <pdtpatri3k> faileas you are right ..we use ibm at work here and dells and i tell you .. IBM makes it very easy whereas dell - well thats another story
[00:03] <Ademan> faileas: I won't make any assumptions, but do you know if the recovery partition is capable of operating on its own? (i suspect it is, seems logical for a recovery partition...)
[00:03] <datta> thaks jp_sf i will try that right now
[00:03] <faileas> Ademan: sort of. it needs a specific bootloader, which you can restore from a cd. I STRONGLY recommend making those backup disks though.
[00:04] <Ademan> grub couldn't handle it?
[00:04] <Ademan> and I'll take that advice
[00:04] <IceBall> Ward1983, whats that? :P
[00:04] <faileas> pdtpatri3k: one reason that other than netbooks, and gaming boxen, i'm a thinkpad man ;p. ;p

[00:08] <Ward1983> IceBall, several people have seen the pastebin and they said its impossible to find out whats wrong unless they compiled it themselves and took a look into the code
[00:08] <|unjustice|> IceBall:does the tar.gz get unpacked into /etc for cups files?

[00:13] <dreamy> ok. sorry...
[00:13] <_2> yes. hi.  i was just looking around on a server box i have and noticed that the cd trays are no longer ejectable, there has been a hardware change that probably caused this; i removed an ide hd and installed an scsi hd, and both the scsi and ide cdrom drives are affected.   anyone have thoughts on this ?
[00:14] <tyta_linux> jrib?
[00:14] <failure> is it mounted?
[00:14] <jrib> tyta_linux: no
[00:14] <pdtpatri3k> tyta_linux what are you trying to do? edit your sources list?
[00:14] <IceBall> _2, go into youre bios and see if it detects the hardware
[00:14] <jrib> tyta_linux: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/iplist
[00:14] <tyta_linux> im trying to install ipblock
[00:14] <BlackCow> I have this ancient machine i am trying to resurrect, its got 256 mb of RAM, what do you guys recommend i run on it, is ubuntu to much for it?
[00:14] <_2> failure the bios on that box doesn't "detect" anything, you have to set everything by hand.
[00:15] <IceBall> BlackCow, xubuntu
[00:15] <unop> BlackCow, perhaps but it will still run albeit not comfortably.
[00:15] <_2> failure that's the reason i always set all but the boot disk to "not present"
[00:15] <tyta_linux> why xubuntu for blackcow?
[00:15] <IceBall> _2, then i would think its a mobo issue
[00:15] <Zinbur> unop I think I understand how to use apt get but would that command work in the terminal for files that cannot or are not supported on apt get?
[00:15] <IceBall> tyta_linux, becauser its faster for users with lower end systems
[00:15] <w00b3> could anyone please tell me how to add old backed up tomboynotes in a folder to a new computer??
[00:16] <_2> IceBall ya would huh
[00:16] <BlackCow> yeah, im not going for any frills, im guessing watching any video is out of the question on it tho right?
[00:16] <unop> Zinbur, sorry, pay no attention to that message - see the private message ubottu sent you - it has instructions on building software
[00:16] <unavailable> BlackCow: puppy linux?
[00:16] <Zinbur> unop ty for your assistance
[00:16] <IceBall> _2 if u got some spare pocket change go get a cheap ASUS mobo, never had a prob with one
[00:16] <unop> BlackCow, not really - multitasking would be slightly painful tho
[00:17] <IceBall> BlackCow, no you still could

[00:21] <Laderius> Im trying to figure out where my scripts directory is for Nautiiilus and am having no luck, any suggestions?
[00:21] <ae88925> Do what D-- said.
[00:21] <D--> fbc: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop && apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && apt-get autoremove
[00:21] <_2> fbc yes, but it's not reccomended.  you can manually mount the target fs on /target at the partitioning stage of the install and go that way,  so it is possable, i have done so.
[00:22] <crayvec> So i should be editing "000-default" with <VirtualHost XX.XX.XX.XX:80> as my external IP?
[00:22] <failure> sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install  xubuntu-desktop && apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && apt-get autoremove
[00:22] <D--> that will install al xubuntu packages, remove ubuntu, and then remove all ubuntu packages not part of xubuntu

[00:22] <timmyd> i just installed a fresh 8.10 installation and after like using X for 20 minutes my mouse buttons don't work anymore
[00:23] <D--> fbc: if you put /home on its own partition -like you should have-, then you could also just reformat and install xubuntu ont he rest, then mount /home without formatting
[00:24] <IceBall> timmyd, does the mouse move>?

[00:25] <timmyd> IceBall, usb, i tried plugging in and out and that didn't change it
[00:25] <crayvec> Would it be this <VirtualHost *:80> if my ip was dynamic, I also have ddclient installed?
[00:25] <IceBall> timmyd, hmm, should auto work, does it work when u load up the livecd?

[00:33] <_2> jp_sf that's what i just said sort of.
[00:33] <jp_sf> jp_sf: it might have assigned the same one but usually BIOS avoid that especially if you didn't force it manually

[00:34] <eseven73> valros: Bluefish maybe
[00:34] <jrib> travis_: the link ubottu gave you does not tell you to install winrar
[00:34] <travis_> jrgp, i installed the rar package the one for linux of rarlabs
[00:34] <jp_sf> _2: I know this what you were thinking too, I don't see anything else
[00:35] <valros> k ill lookem both up
[00:35] <travis_> jrib: jrib
[00:35] <rbil> for years, I've edited xorg.conf to make changes. how is this done now with Hardy?
[00:35] <jrib> travis_: do you have https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression opened in your browser?
[00:35] <mnemonic76> Something happened, and I started getting several different messages. So I followed the ntfs-3g guide, backed up fstab, fixed it. it worked again.
[00:35] <travis_> jrib: yes
[00:35] <valros> is geany in the repositories?
[00:35] <dr_willis> valros,  yes
[00:36] <travis_> jrib: now what
[00:36] <eseven73> !info geany
[00:36] <dr_willis> !info geany
[00:36] <jrib> travis_: what does the third bullet point in the Rar section say?
[00:36] <_2> jp_sf so i'll reboot it and see what the scsi card's tool can find.   the mobo bios is totally worthless in this case but the expansion card has it's own programming.
[00:36] <eseven73> dr_willis: :P
[00:36] <mnemonic76> I logged out and still ok, rebooted and still ok, rebooted again and now I get "You are not privledged to mount BIGBOI" and "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'FATMAN'."
[00:36] <jp_sf> _2: yes first things you should have a scsi controller at least displaying the CDrom and your HD
[00:36] <travis_> jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories?action=show&redirect=AddingRepositoriesHowto
[00:36] <travis_> ugh
[00:37] <rbil> xorg.conf is now generated, so where is that stuff saved now?
[00:37] <_2> jp_sf hdds plural   think server tower
[00:37] <jrib> rbil: huh?
[00:37] <_2> but yeah
[00:37] <jp_sf> _2: the bios is worthless becase it takes order from the controller so if your controller is not setup right yes it is not gonna work most SCSI controller have an interface
[00:38] <travis_> jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories?action=show&redirect=AddingRepositoriesHowto ugh now
[00:38] <jp_sf> _2: all I can said is that on Dell rack poweredge servers I can go through the scsi controller at the boot time to check the status of the scsi connections
[00:38] <rbil> jrib: most of xorg.conf now (in Hardy) is saved elsewhere

[00:39] <travis_> jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories?action=show&redirect=AddingRepositoriesHowto ugh now
[00:39] <_2> ok i'm off to fix it now.  chow
[00:39] <admin-lacavezeve> using zevenos I can't add a new user whY?
[00:39] <jrib> travis_: huh?
[00:39] <jp_sf> _2: and usually CDrom show up with a interface address that maybe you can see if it is shared by any other hard disk
[00:39] <jp_sf> _2: I would do a reboot too
[00:39] <travis_> jrib: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories?action=show&redirect=AddingRepositoriesHowto thats the 3rd bullet dowm limk
[00:39] <travis_> link*
[00:39] <alex-82> hi, I just deleted a bunch of semi-random packages using synaptic, thinking I was eliminating bloat. When I rebooted all I got was the desktop image, mouse cursor, and the startup sound. I right clicked on the desktop, created an empty folder, double clicked to get to nautilus, ran terminal through that then loaded xchat... so what should I do now? sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ?
[00:39] <jrib> travis_: no it's not, that's a link in it.  But that's not what the bullet point says
[00:40] <jrib> alex-82: sure
[00:40] <travis_> jrib: i still dont get it.
[00:40] <jrib> Dexi: xbindkeys or imwheel should work
[00:40] <exodus_MS> for x in *.txt; do strings $x > ${x}_; mv ${x}_ $x; done
[00:40] <exodus_MS> for x in *.txt; do strings $x > ${x}_; mv ${x}_ $x; done
[00:40] <jrib> travis_: copy and paste the text that is the third bullet point
[00:40] <Dexi> jrib: packages?
[00:41] <jrib> Dexi: yes, they are both in the repositories

[00:42] <the_squircle> Hi everyone. My boot splash screen displays for a few seconds (when the bar is bouncing back and forth), but then it goes to verbose mode, starting with "Locating files required to boot..." is there any way I can reset my OS loading screen?

[00:44] <jp_sf> bonhoffer: you have to go through an extra step something called odf-converter developped by Suse
[00:44] <bonhoffer> the_squircle, thanks
[00:44] <bonhoffer> jp_sf, thanks
[00:44] <Zinbur> is lunar linux a Separate OS or is it a program for installing a specific type of file?
[00:44]  * the_squircle praises novell (and then slaps himself)
[00:45] <alex-82> usr13: thanks
[00:45] <jp_sf> bonhoffer: but I would think too that OO 3 is able to open them as the_squircle said
[00:45] <phixxor> what is the best way to tranfer files that are sitting right next to each other, but are connected wirelessly to a router? I'm thinkin some kinda cable
[00:45] <phixxor> sorry
[00:46] <Laderius> Question: Im trying to install a mount ISO script, i have the actual script loaded however i need to ass an ISO folder inside mnt and it says i cant because im not the owner, how do i get access? (/mnt/ISO does not exists, please create it and run the script again)
[00:46] <phixxor> What is the best way to transfer files betweet computers that are sitting right next to each other
[00:46] <the_squircle> jp_sf and bonhoffer: the people at OOo say 3.0 beta can.
[00:46] <jrib> !permissions > justrelaxzin
[00:46] <Laderius> phixxor, ftp
[00:46] <bastid_raZor> phixxor; scp
[00:46] <jp_sf> the_squircle: ah they are wonderfull those people at OO
[00:46] <jrib> justrelaxzin: you need to apply proper permissions to the mounted partition (ie you use chmod/chown appropriately on the mount point with the partition mounted).  See ubottu
[00:46] <the_squircle> phixxor: ftp/scp/NFS/afp/smb/tftp... anything network based
[00:46] <Laderius> bastid_raZor, whats scp?
[00:46] <the_squircle> Laderius: secure copy
[00:47] <the_squircle> protocol...
[00:47] <jrib> phixxor: I would use the wireless network...
[00:47] <phixxor> Laderius, bastid_raZor, alright, but is network really the best? The transfer speed doesn't seem that fast
[00:47] <the_squircle> jp_sf: they sure are.
[00:47] <justrelaxzin> jrib:thanks
[00:47] <Laderius> phixxor, enable full duplex :)
[00:47] <Laderius> can someone help me
[00:47] <Laderius> Question: Im trying to install a mount ISO script, i have the actual script loaded however i need to ass an ISO folder inside mnt and it says i cant because im not the owner, how do i get access? (/mnt/ISO does not exists, please create it and run the script again)
[00:47] <the_squircle> phixxor: if you have FireWire (iLink or IEEE 1394) it's pretty fast.
[00:47] <phixxor> Laderius: never heard of it
[00:47] <the_squircle> !anybody > Laderius
[00:47] <bastid_raZor> phixxor; if you don't want to open the box and add the drive to your box then scp would probably be fast and easy
[00:47] <Dexi> jrib: i got imwheel, but im stupid and cant find the config
[00:48] <admin-lacavezeve> about mine???
[00:48] <jrib> Dexi: you create it: ~/.imwheelrc
[00:48] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; sudo mkdir /mnt/ISO
[00:48] <phixxor> bastid_raZor, alright. sounds good. I just thought since they both have ethernet there might be a way to connect an ehternet cable to each
[00:49] <Laderius> phixxor crossover cable
[00:49] <Laderius> phixxor i think anyways :)
[00:49] <bastid_raZor> phixxor; scp will use ethernet .. scp file file username@ip:location
[00:49] <the_squircle> phixxor: you don't need a crossover cable if one of the cards is auto-sensing
[00:49] <the_squircle> phixxor: just a regular cable
[00:50] <Dexi> jrib: can you guide me on how to make it? im not really familiar with creating things :p
[00:50] <jrib> Dexi: gedit ~/.imwheelrc
[00:50] <Laderius> how do i login as admin/root to edit a folders permissiosn?
[00:50] <jrib> travis_: did you sort it out?
[00:50] <jrib> Laderius: what folder?
[00:50] <phixxor> ok, well one is a macbook. is that autosensing? if so, great! I can connect them and scp
[00:50] <benovic> i need to send a mass mailing with personalised messages - what tool can i use in ubuntu? (its for good!)
[00:50] <Dexi> ok thanks
[00:50] <usr13> alex-82:  THe synaptic package manager has "History" in the dropdown menu.  File -> History
[00:50] <the_squircle> Laderius: sudo chmod <permissions> <folder>
[00:50] <Dexi> ill go find syntax and all that online. :p
[00:51] <the_squircle> phixxor: yes, macs are auto-sensing
[00:51] <usr13> alex-82: Just found that. It will more than likely show removed packages as well as installed ones.
[00:51] <the_squircle> phixxor: but if you have a firewire cable, the MB is a lot faster at that
[00:51] <neil_d> I am trying to change Gnome from using the Home directory instead of the ~/Desktop directory, the gconf desktop_is_home_dir is false... but it is still displaying the wrong directory :( help
[00:51] <woli> where can I see a list of graphic cards supported by ubuntu intrepid ibez?

[00:51] <jrib> neil_d: check ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
[00:51] <dr_willis> bonhoffer,  you mean the latest OOo?
[00:52] <phixxor> the_squircle: Ok, I have a firewire cable, but I think the other computer doesn't have a fw port. that's odd though, I always thought Ethernet was faster than firewire
[00:52] <bonhoffer> OOo 3.0
[00:52] <the_squircle> Laderius: what?
[00:52] <bonhoffer> that can open xlsx

[00:53] <Laderius> the_squircle: when i try and add an ISO folder to mnt folder i get that error,
[00:53] <alex-82> usr13: thanks, I was looking for that. Actually I found the files which are in /root/.synaptic/log/ .
[00:53] <the_squircle> phixxor: 100 base TX is 10MBps, FireWire 400 is 40MBps... but Gigabit is 100MBps
[00:53] <neil_d> jrib: the    XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/"   I presume this is wrong ?
[00:53] <jrib> neil_d: yep
[00:53] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; use sudo
[00:53] <usr13> alex-82: Ok, very good...
[00:53] <the_squircle> Laderius: sudo
[00:53] <phixxor> the_squircle: got it. thanks
[00:54] <Laderius> the_squircle, bastid_raZor: the command would be sudo /mnt/iso/  ?
[00:54] <phixxor> the_squircle: and wireless networks (g) are 5mb/s about, right?
[00:54] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; sudo mkdir /mnt/ISO *(be sure to note case sensitive)

[00:55] <andresmh> shut, I just removed my well configured gnome panel, is there a way I can recover it?
[00:55] <jrib> neil_d: no problem
[00:55] <woli> is the nvidia geforce 8600M GT supported in 8.10 ??
[00:55] <Jack_Sparrow> !iso
[00:55] <Guest88728> I installed a 32-bit-pakage of a programm (this was necessary). Now a 64-bit-pakage (the one for wich I needed this 32-bit pakage) is reporting a dependency error. How can I mark the pakage as installed to avoid dependecy-errors?
[00:55] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; if it is looking for /mnt/iso then you need to make sure it is lowercase if it wants /mnt/ISO make sure you make it uppercase
[00:55] <the_squircle> Laderius: just follow bastid_raZor's instructions :P
[00:55] <jrib> woli: yes
[00:55] <Laderius> the_squircle i found a natulis script to do it :D. want the link?
[00:55] <the_squircle> woli: i'm using one and I love it
[00:55] <the_squircle> Laderius: I'd love it :)
[00:56] <usr13> Laderius: the_squircle mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /home/somebody/foobar.iso /mnt/cdrom
[00:56] <Laderius> the_squircle, bastid_raZor: Thanks it works now: the link is (http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/nautilus-scripts/File%20System%20Management/Mount_Image)
[00:56] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; i actually use a script to do the same thing too.. it can also be used to unmount the iso afterwards.
[00:56] <the_squircle> Guest88728: you could force install the package using dpkg -i --force-all package.deb
[00:57] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: Which script?
[00:57] <the_squircle> thanks usr13 and Laderius
[00:57] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: Maybe the same one im using
[00:57] <usr13> Laderius: the_squircle where /mnt/cdrom is a valid mount point, you pick.  i.e.  mkdir /mnt/iso and then use /mnt/iso
[00:57] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; a friend of mine wrote it.
[00:57] <the_squircle> usr13: I know that much :P
[00:57] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; i will give it to you if you want.. but the script you have does the same.. almost
[00:57] <omarco> how can I extract the first character from a variable in bash?
[00:58] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: not sure if mine unmounts tho
[00:58] <Guest88728> the_squircle: I did this and it worked. But now the 64-bit-program complains about a missing 64-bit-pakage (the one wich I installed as 32-bit)
[00:58] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; one sec and i'll pastebin it
[00:58] <dr_willis> omarco,   i would say - check that 'advanced bash scripting guide' it has chapters/sections/examples of that.
[00:58] <dr_willis> !abs
[00:58] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: thanks, will it come as PM?
[00:58] <the_squircle> Guest88728: install the 64-bit version of the package it's complaining about.
[00:58] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: if you're PMing it, I'd love it too :D
[00:59] <Guest88728> the_squircle:  But isn't the 32-bit version deleted then?
[00:59] <the_squircle> Guest88728: Depends. What package is it
[00:59] <sandeep> echo 132
[00:59] <rebel_kid> is there a quick way to turn gnome on and off? not just flip to CLI but completely turn it off
[00:59] <the_squircle> Guest88728: if it's a library, you can have both
[01:00] <sinbox> how can I tell netstat to return result for a specific  port/range?
[01:00] <ikyn_> I'm trying to run a .tcl script from my /home/user/ folder, using the command "sudo ./xx.tcl" command. Why is it saying "command not found" ?
[01:00] <Guest88728> the_squircle: its "php-zero-ice"
[01:00] <dr_willis> ikyn_,  you have the first line of the script being the proper #!/bin/whate4ver/tcl line ?
[01:00] <emet> All Florida Ubuntu users, there is a meeting going on in #ubuntu-us-fl
[01:00] <woli> the_squircle, do you happen to have the dell xps m1530?
[01:01] <Jungar> hii
[01:01] <dr_willis> ikyn_,  and you have it  chmod'ed to be executable?
[01:01] <the_squircle> woli: MacBook Pro. but i've worked with the XPS.
[01:01] <ikyn_> dr_willis: I don't know about the chmod - what would be the command for that?
[01:01] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; the_squircle first in cli do .. touch isomount then copy past the contents and chmod 700 isomount then sudo mv isomount /usr/local/bin   http://pastebin.com/f7345d68d
[01:01] <woli> hmm
[01:01] <alex-82> cool, ok so it looks like I uninstalled gnome-panel. Now I'm looking at some of the alternative panels out there. Need something light with a task list.
[01:01] <dr_willis> ikyn_,  chmod +x whatever
[01:01] <ikyn_> dr_willis: Thanks!
[01:01] <the_squircle> Thanks bastid_raZor
[01:01] <sandeep> Is anyone in toronto?
[01:02] <the_squircle> sandeep: I'm in Toronto
[01:02] <mosno> can anyone comment on beagle vs tracker?
[01:02] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; the script has a little bit of error handling in it so if you do something wrong it will tell you what you're doing wrong.. basically it needs to be run sudo isomount file.iso and it mounts it
[01:02] <rebel_kid> is there a quick way to turn gnome on and off? not just flip to CLI but completely turn it off
[01:02] <sandeep> How do you like ubuntu?
[01:02] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: sounds easy enough... but scripts are always nice.
[01:03] <kuyaba-tok> :-*
[01:03] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: excuse the noob question but what is cli?
[01:03] <the_squircle> sandeep: I used to use OpenSUSE, and I have to say that I like Ubuntu a lot more in many aspects.
[01:03] <sandeep> cli is command line interface, like a dos window.
[01:03] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; do those commands in a terminal ;) cli is command line input  meaning to do those things in a terminal
[01:03] <Laderius> ahh ok
[01:03] <fuxxy> rebel_kid, check  out 'runlevels'
[01:03] <the_squircle> Guest88728: I can't find anything about php-zero-ice
[01:04] <sandeep> I see, I have just recetly acuired an interest in ubuntu, I must say I am quite impressed.
[01:04] <usr13> sandeep: As well you should be!  :)
[01:04] <ikyn_> dr_willis: if the name of the script is xx.tcl, and it's in my /home/ikyn folder, what would the first line be if I'm running Kubuntu 18.10?
[01:04] <rebel_kid> fuxxy, is it in man?
[01:04] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; Laderius if you notice this script uses /media/iso so that it will appear on the desktop when thinks are mounted. it makes it much easier to find if you prefer using the mouse over a keyboard.
[01:04] <the_squircle> sandeep: Welcome to the community!
[01:04] <faileas> 18.10? ;)
[01:05] <ikyn_> haha

[01:05] <Wintre> Hi
[01:05] <Man23BRsT> hi people, anyone has some information about bluetooth on ubuntu intrepid? my mobile doesn't sync with de notebook to transfer files. I have read that the bluez protocol stack have been modifyed and has a bug.
[01:05] <the_squircle> !hello | Wintre
[01:05] <sandeep> Correct, ANY SPECIAL SOFTWARE YOU USE?
[01:05] <Wintre> Is there some graphical tool for editing UXTerm*charClass in Ubuntu 8.10?
[01:05] <dr_willis> ikyn_,  scripting basics.. the first like is the path to the executable that runs the script..   ie: a bash script is #!/bin/bash    perl would be #!/bin/perl   and so on
[01:05] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: yesh, when i type in terminal 'touch mount' nothing happends is that right?
[01:05] <the_squircle> Man23BRsT: I am using bluetooth fine
[01:05] <Guest88728> the_squircle: It just a .so file (php-extension) in the php-folder. I will copy the 32-bit version, install the 64-bit pakage and backup the 32-bit file ;) Thank you anyway
[01:05] <usr13> sandeep: Lots
[01:05] <the_squircle> !caps | sandeep
[01:05] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: or is it sudo touch mount
[01:05] <ikyn_> dr_willis: I'm a scripting newbie - thanks again!
[01:05] <the_squircle> Guest88728: If it's just a .so, you can install both
[01:05] <dr_willis> ikyn_,  you may want to go read some tcl tutorials then.
[01:06] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: sorry i meant isomount
[01:06] <sandeep> iI'm so sorry.
[01:06] <Wintre> I just updated .Xresources, but I wonder if there's an easier way to do that
[01:06] <the_squircle> sandeep: just network security tools and Java IDEs. (Why someone in Toronto?)
[01:06] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; you are correct touch isomount works. in cli if you do something correctly you get no output if you mess up you then get errors.
[01:06] <sandeep> network secrrity is fascinating for me too. What;s your email?
[01:06] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; now open isomount with a text editor and c/p the script
[01:07] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: good to know, its my first week with linux and im trying to learn everything i can
[01:07] <the_squircle> sandeep: Sorry... I don't give that out.
[01:07] <toddlo> Anyone know anything about Dell notebooks and sound problems in 8.10?
[01:07] <rito> how hard is it to install a home server stuff...using CLI...
[01:07] <rito> Wintre, hi there there :)
[01:07] <rito> Wintre, no idea, sorry
[01:07] <rito> how hard is it to install a home server stuff...using CLI...
[01:07] <FloodBot1> rito: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:07] <rito> Wintre, I am a worker here,....please dont cause trouble ok : )
[01:07] <sandeep> may I give you mine?
[01:07] <Wintre> wtf
[01:07] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; it takes a bit to learn, just stay positive and you'll be fine
[01:07] <jrib> rito: stop
[01:07] <Wintre> "please dont cause trouble ok"?
[01:07] <usr13> ikyn_: I'll bet you'll find this site interesting:  http://www.intuitive.com/wicked/wicked-cool-shell-script-library.shtml
[01:07] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: after i sudo touch isomount where will i find the file to open?
[01:08] <genii> rito: sudo apt-get update&& sudo apt-get install tasksel && sudo tasksel            ...select LAMP install
[01:08] <the_squircle> sandeep: If you want a good way to get in touch with me, i'm usually on Freenode in one channel or another.
[01:08] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: or do i gedit touch isomount
[01:08] <bonhoffer> OK. so installed OOo 3 -- but xlsx still has the filter selection window -- any thoughts?
[01:08] <sandeep> I will try it out , thanks.
[01:08] <the_squircle> :)
[01:08] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; you don't need to use sudo but that is okay.. you'll need to edit it with root permissions. which did you use sudo or just touch isomount?
[01:09] <the_squircle> bonhoffer: did you install the extra package?
[01:09] <ikyn_> dr_willis: it was the chmod +x problem, nothing in the script. Thanks again :)
[01:09] <cached> How do I find which program is hogging up alsa?
[01:09] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: i used both expecting an output
[01:09] <rendero> hello, is it necessary reboot after doing a modprobe ?
[01:09] <the_squircle> bonhoffer: odf-converter
[01:09] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; type ls -al isomount and tell me what it says.
[01:09] <the_squircle> rendero: nope
[01:09] <sinbox> how can I tell netstat to return result for a specific  port/range?
[01:09] <rendero> thx
[01:10] <tiyowan> hi folks.
[01:10] <dr_willis> sinbox,  you have checked the netstat man pages?
[01:10] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: -rwx------ 1 k4rm4 k4rm4 0 2009-01-06 18:07 isomount
[01:10] <the_squircle> !hello | tiyowan
[01:10] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: isomount is green
[01:10] <sinbox> dr_willis, nope only netstat --help
[01:10] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; okay, you can edit it with gedit isomount .. you don't need to worry about chmod'ing the file after you c/p the script just move it with sudo mv isomount /usr/local/bin
[01:11] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: Just a general question not related to this... does a folder have to have any specific permissions to be mounted to?
[01:11] <Wintre> jrib?
[01:11] <bonhoffer> the_squircle, round two -- i thought OOo could do it
[01:11] <urchin> i m selling a hp e-pc do you went to by it sinbox?
[01:12] <jrib> Wintre: yes?
[01:12] <Wintre> Who is this rito individual?
[01:12] <Wintre> *rito*> What do you mean "don't cause trouble"?
[01:12] <Wintre> *rito* intresting.
[01:12] <Wintre> *rito* You came here to cause trouble. This is a support room.
[01:12] <the_squircle> bonhoffer: OOo can do it.. with that extra package ;)
[01:12] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; it needs to be executable and readable
[01:12] <jrib> Wintre: I don't know.  I assumed bot, but he stopped
[01:12] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: 555?
[01:12] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; 777 for just a folder for mounting things
[01:13] <sinbox> urchin, wot?  short answer = no, I don't buy computing equipment  ;-)
[01:13] <Wintre> Imagine. Yet another moron on IRC.
[01:13] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: What will mount do if there are files in the folder you're trying to mount to? (I'm assuming fail)
[01:13] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: okay, did that now how do i confirm it works
[01:13] <the_squircle> Wintre: :O morons on IRC? WHAT?
[01:13] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; you really shouldn't mount it that way. use an empty folder
[01:13] <overridex> anyone here set up the buttons of a bluetooth headset to execute commands on ubuntu 8.10?  I have the audio part working, just not sure what I should be looking at as far as setting up the buttons
[01:14] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; have you moved the file?
[01:14] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: don't worry... I wasn't planning to. Thanks a bunch!
[01:14] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: sudo mv isomount /usr/local/bin
[01:14] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: yep
[01:14] <kuyaba-tok> is it possible to have windows and ubuntu in one partition?
[01:15] <jrib> kuyaba-tok: wubi
[01:15] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: will isomount only mount isos, or will it do bin/cue/nrg too?
[01:15] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; okay, now sudo isomount /path/to/file.iso and it will mount or give errors
[01:15] <jrib> kuyaba-tok: or virtualization I guess
[01:15] <SherlawkDragon> can anyone tell me a good Windows Emulator for Ubuntu?
[01:15] <rndmtngnt_> wine?
[01:15] <overridex> SherlawkDragon: virtualbox
[01:15] <wash-hasted> i use Sun XVM virtual box
[01:15] <SherlawkDragon> rndmtngnt> Wine kinda... doesn't work
[01:16] <SherlawkDragon> (and yes, that's the best explaination I can give...)
[01:16] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; i've never attempted to use it to mount anything other than an iso.. feel free to let me know if it works
[01:16] <jrib> SherlawkDragon: what do you want to use it for?
[01:16] <SherlawkDragon> overridex> will look
[01:16] <the_squircle> will do.
[01:16] <overridex> SherlawkDragon: virtualbox is cool, as long as you're not trying to game in it
[01:16] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: bah got errors, one sec
[01:17] <SherlawkDragon> I want to run VB apps and stuff
[01:17] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: You must be root or an admin to use /usr/local/bin/isomount. and a string of notfounds
[01:17] <PrivateRolf> I'm looking for  someone who has a very basic (if not fresh) installation of Ubuntu with all repositories enabled to help me test a script. Does anyone meet the criteria?
[01:17] <Laderius> PrivateRolf i have a fresh install
[01:17] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; use sudo ;)
[01:17] <kuyaba-tok> jrib: which one do you recommend?
[01:17] <SherlawkDragon> I have windows programs on my computer that I want to run (the Windows was Vista, and I downloaded that update that was corrupting Vista systems)
[01:17] <PrivateRolf> Alright, I will Private Message you in a minute, Laderius.
[01:18] <Gokul> I'm having this issue where the netwrok manager on my Ubuntu 8.10 shows only the wireless network i'm connected to and does not display all the other available wireless connections
[01:18] <jrib> kuyaba-tok: why do you want to have both on the same partition?
[01:18] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: HA! amazing
[01:18] <SherlawkDragon> mostly I just need something that will run windows apps (that works better than Wine, which doesn't really work)
[01:18] <kuyaba-tok> jrib: i do not want to repartition my disk
[01:18] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; to mount you need sudo to unmount simply type isomount and it unmounts.
[01:18] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: nice thanks alot
[01:18] <Gokul> anyone have any suggestions as to how I could fix it?
[01:18] <overridex> SherlawkDragon: virtualbox will work for you, though you do need a windows cd to install into it
[01:18] <tiyowan> PrivateRolf: I've got a month old install; what kind of script is it?
[01:18] <SherlawkDragon> crap
[01:18] <gogereaver> sherlawkdragon well thers not mutch etter then wine other then using something like vmware or dule booting
[01:19] <bastid_raZor> Laderius; glad i could help. it shows the mounted iso on your desktop too.. that should help in locating it if you like gui apps beter.
[01:19] <kuyaba-tok> jrib: ill try wubi then, thx..
[01:19] <SherlawkDragon> see, I HAVE Windows Vista, it came on here, but the OS corrupted itself
[01:19] <jrib> kuyaba-tok: personally, I don't trust wubi.  I would install ubuntu and virtualize windows.  That should work fine as long as you don't need to play games on windows
[01:19] <gogereaver> SherlawkDragon sounds right
[01:19] <SherlawkDragon> (personally, I wouldn't have taken Vista)
[01:19] <rndmtngnt_> SherlawkDragon: which windows program you need to get to work?
[01:19] <Barridus> hmmm, i can't enable desktop effects suddenly (don't know the cause
[01:20] <SherlawkDragon> A VB app
[01:20] <Barridus> how can i get an error code or message?
[01:20] <Laderius> bastid_raZor: yeah its awesome thx
[01:20] <PrivateRolf> Tiyowan: It's a sort of idea I have going. What this script will do will resolve dependencies for Transmission 1.42 source, build it with the options I've specified, then remove the source package and its extracted directory, and the development dependencies.
[01:20] <wash-hasted> sun xvm virtualbox runs every windows app i try and i use it to compile c++ code using dev c++
[01:20] <ArrPirate> I have my home directory on another partition and that's great for when I reinstall ubuntu or I want to try a different flavor of linux... but I don't like having to reinstall my favorite programs. Is there a way I can make it so that specific programs get installed when I reinstall ubuntu?
[01:20] <gogereaver> SherlawkDragon vb is one thing linux doesent play well with even with wine
[01:20] <rndmtngnt_> SherlawkDragon: .net?
[01:20] <SherlawkDragon> maybe I just need the VB DLL for Wine..
[01:20] <Barridus> i'm just getting a graphical "desktop effects could not be loaded"
[01:20] <Gokul> I'm having this issue where the netwrok manager on my Ubuntu 8.10 shows only the wireless network i'm connected to and does not display all the other available wireless connections
[01:20] <SherlawkDragon> no, just VB I think, let me see...
[01:20] <Barridus> is there a terminal command to enable it so i could see the specific error?
[01:21] <kuyaba-tok> jrib: well, i want some...
[01:21] <gogereaver> Gokul its not supposed to
[01:21] <SherlawkDragon> uh...
[01:21] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: where is isomount available? it isn't in any default repos...
[01:21] <valros> crap i screwed up ccsm, changed a keybinding and now instead of the mouse interacting with whatevers in the window it treats the whole window as the title bar, all i can do is move them around
[01:21] <gogereaver> Gokul it should only list them in the network manager when you scan for new ones
[01:21] <SherlawkDragon> nevermind, I thought I had the source, but don't
[01:21] <rndmtngnt_> Im sure .net can be installed and run under wine but think you problems maybe be best asked in the wine or lookup the mono channels
[01:21] <valros> i can access the terminal, can anyone help?
[01:21] <jrib> valros: use your keyboard to fix it in ccsm?
[01:21] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; my friend wrote it ..
[01:22] <Gokul> gogereaver: how do i scan for new ones then?
[01:22] <SherlawkDragon> #Wine
[01:22] <tiyowan> PrivateRolf: Neat. I'm curious as to what extra options are there that you need to compile the package with. pm me. Sounds interesting.
[01:22] <SherlawkDragon> oops
[01:22] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh
[01:22] <valros> navigation with the keyboard? tab arrows and enter?
[01:22] <SherlawkDragon> oook...
[01:22] <the_squircle> bastid_raZor: i'll try everything and let you know how it goes.
[01:22] <SherlawkDragon> what's the Wine channel?
[01:22] <sinbox> !clone | ArrPirate,
[01:22] <SherlawkDragon> #Wine is blocks
[01:22] <SherlawkDragon> *blocked
[01:22] <overridex> SherlawkDragon: #winehq i think
[01:22] <bastid_raZor> the_squircle; i'm always online so if i dont' respond feel free to pm me. i'm soon to leave for work, now.
[01:23] <the_squircle> sure :)
[01:23] <valros> any way to rollback changes in ccsm?
[01:23] <gogereaver>  Gokul KWifiManager  is one i knoe of
[01:24] <gogereaver> the one ubuntu has by defult just does it auto
[01:24] <nbeebo> anyone know if nokia n96 install cd works on ubuntu?
[01:24] <gogereaver> best one it can find
[01:24] <Gokul> gogereaver: it seems obvious that at any time, i'd like to switch from one wireless connection to another one. not having the list of available connections makes it fdifficult to do so
[01:24] <gogereaver> KWifiManager gives a list
[01:25] <Gokul> i'm using gnome and prefer not to install kwifimanager if i can avoid it
[01:25] <gogereaver> isudo apt-get install wifi-radar
[01:25] <IndyGunFreak> Gokul: easiest way I've found to do it, is wicd.. google it, it has an Ubuntu repository available.
[01:26] <Gokul> surely there's got to be some way of listing all the avilable wireless connections using the network-manager applet
[01:26] <overridex> Gokul: left click on it
[01:26] <gogereaver> Gokul wifi0radio is a nice gui
[01:26] <IndyGunFreak> i still like wicd better than all fo em
[01:26] <gogereaver> it will scan and even tell you if there open or not
[01:27] <usr13>  Gokul If you right click on the little network-manager up there, you will find the list. (I don't remember exactly, don't have my laptop running right now), but just fish around and you should find the list.  I'm pretty sure it is there.
[01:27] <l337ingDisorder> Can anyone help with printing? I used the ubuntu alternate installer to install a command-line-only Ubuntu. I'm trying to set up CUPS to print to a printer that is shared on a windows machine and it seems to configure properly with the .PPD file but once configured, it can't print... just says "Connecting to (hostname)"
[01:27] <overridex> no one here using a bluetooth device's input buttons?
[01:27] <Gokul> that *IS* the problem. before i connect, it lists all of them but once i connect to one of them, the lists seems to dissapper after a few mins
[01:28] <gogereaver> Gokul well its supposed to do that
[01:28] <gogereaver> Gokul if you disconnect the list should come back
[01:28] <nbeebo> how mount n96?
[01:28]  * dr_willis wonders what a n96 is
[01:29] <usr13> Gokul: Well, someone suggested kwifimanager, maybe you could just install that..?
[01:29] <boot_loop> anyone ever use CVS and know what it's for?
[01:29] <gogereaver> or wifi-radar
[01:29] <jrib> boot_loop: yes, why?
[01:29] <gogereaver> thers a few apps that do that
[01:29] <dr_willis> !cvs
[01:30] <jrib> s/dominant/once-dominant/
[01:30] <usr13> gogereaver:  Gokul Yes, I remember, that's the way it works.  It shows list of available APs only when you disconnect.
[01:31] <something132> hey i am having this sound problem

[01:32] <sinbox> dr_willis, I have now read the netstat man pages and am (not so) glad to report that it has not answered my question unfortunately
[01:33] <Raize> Hi, quick question. How do I go about dropping down to the plain terminal prompt from X?
[01:33] <something132> my sound card is detected not playing any sound and i have had 2 people who could not solve it can someone help me with this
[01:33] <usr13> sinbox: What are you trying to do?
[01:33] <jrib> Raize: why?
[01:33] <Raize> Need to install some nvidia drivers, the installer requires that X not be running
[01:34] <something132> NEED HELP
[01:34] <jrib> Raize: use system -> administration -> hardware drivers
[01:34] <jrib> !nvidia > Raize
[01:34] <something132> forgot caps lok on
[01:34] <dr_willis> Raize,  I do hope you have tried the Drivers in the repos first? and if those failed - tried the Envyng tool?
[01:34] <mezquitale> Somethief, I suggest you go to the #alsa room, if nobody can help you there then your soundcard isnt supported, you will have to look for gnubien or wishie
[01:34] <dude7064> in Ubutntu how can I do administrative tasks with the GUI ?? for example editing restricted files ??? I know in command it can be done with sudo,, what bout the gui ??
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Raize,  clt-alt-f2, login. run  sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop. do your nivida stuff, using sudo. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X . ctl-alt-f7 to get back to gui, if needed
[01:35] <usr13> something132: Might be useful info here:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=314383

[01:35] <sinbox> usr13 just trying to get netstat to return result for all the connection to a single local port, but it is not anything urgent anymore now
[01:35] <dr_willis> and hope the nvidia drivers from nvidia.com work :)
[01:35] <overridex> dude7064: gksudo gedit <filename> would do it
[01:35] <Raize> Lets see if the first idea works real quick, brb
[01:37] <slapshot> helo
[01:37] <usr13>  sinbox netstat -aptn
[01:37] <usr13> netstat -aptn
[01:37] <usr13> netstat -aptn
[01:37] <FloodBot1> usr13: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:37] <nbeebo> how to mount my nokia n96 in ubuntu?
[01:37] <usr13> sinbox netstat -aptn will tell you open ports and what program has them open.
[01:39] <colton_> is there a cshapr channel?
[01:39] <justizin> does anyone know of a good tutorial on setting up a 32-bit build environment in an amd64 system?  howabout lpia?
[01:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !chroot
[01:39] <sp0wn> nbeebo - I don't know anything about the nokia n96, but you may want to try typing "dmesg" from a shelll to see what shows up
[01:39] <mavsman4457> I can't get my laptop running ubuntu to detect my monitor, what can I do?
[01:39]  * justizin has a feeling setting up lpia will be more like a cross-compiler, but yeesh, rebuilding kernel on the netbook takes 10+ hours! :-P
[01:39] <usr13>  sinbox netstat -tp  show network connections [-t=tcp -p=PID and name of the program
[01:39] <justizin> thanks Jack_Sparrow
[01:39] <sp0wn> nbeebo - you may also want to try lsusb to see what it says (again, from the command line)
[01:40] <sp0wn> then google based on what you find
[01:40] <sinbox> that is easier to read indeed usr13, next question (or actually the previous ne) was what would you use to kill one of those connection to the port in question but not the other ones/?
[01:40] <nbeebo> sp0wn, thank you, ill try
[01:40] <techsupport> anyone here familiar with a service provider that lets you pay for a ubuntu server?
[01:41] <sp0wn> best of luck :)
[01:41] <techsupport> i forgot what its called
[01:41] <nbeebo> sp0wn, its found
[01:41] <nbeebo> sp0wn, Bus 003 Device 008: ID 0421:0039 Nokia Mobile Phones
[01:41] <altus-dominus> hey guys'
[01:41] <sp0wn> so maybe you need a module for it...
[01:41] <ari_stress> morning all, beautiful day! :)
[01:41] <overridex> techsupport: like a virtual server or hardware?
[01:41] <sp0wn> there might be a driver that you can download...
[01:42] <sp0wn> try lsusb as well, to see what you find
[01:42] <usr13> sinbox: Kill the application that is accepting the connection is the preferred method.  But if you want to block the port, you  can do that as well, but would need to use iptables command to do that.  The simplier method is to just stop the application.
[01:42] <overridex> www.dyndns.com has virtual servers that run ubuntu
[01:42] <techsupport> overridex, like a virtual server yeah , to pay for an entire box
[01:42] <altus-dominus> need help.. just installed ubuntu 8.10 did all my updates and installed compiz-fusion, when I apply compiz i do not get any window borders i tried emerald --replace nothing happens.. can anybody please help out
[01:42] <techsupport> overridex, virtual box that is
[01:43] <overridex> techsupport: yeah, depends what you need i guess - the virtuals are dyndns.com are on pretty high end hardware on really fast connections
[01:43] <spree> I want to rescan by USB bus. All my USB devices suddenly stopped working and i want to "reset" it
[01:43] <spree> i don't want to reboot
[01:43] <sp0wn> nbeebo, maybe try the instructions here http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=connectivity&message.id=18974 - they seem to be on the right path
[01:43] <overridex> s/are/at/
[01:44] <sinbox> OK thanks usr13 but the app is a streaming audio server, I just needed to kill one connection, I'll go and read more on iptables as firestarter wouldn't let me do it
[01:44] <gogereaver> spree just disconnect evrything
[01:44] <gogereaver> spree should reset it
[01:44] <usr13> sinbox: To kill the application, simply use: kill <pid#here>
[01:44] <nbeebo> sp0wn, thank you very much
[01:44] <eross> when using FTP, how do I use SITE NOSTRIP
[01:44] <sp0wn> ur welcome, good luck
[01:45] <gogereaver> nbeebo lol did you get sound workin
[01:45] <techsupport> overridex, thanx, i mean VPS , do you know of any other provider cheaper than dyndns.com ?
[01:45] <nbeebo> gogereaver, nooope..
[01:45] <Dexi> can anyone help me with resizing my current partiton?
[01:45] <usr13> sinbox: firestarter should block the port for you.  (But that is all firestarter will do, is block the port.)
[01:45] <gogereaver> nbeebo its soooo easy
[01:45] <nbeebo> Dexi, if ur in it, not possible
[01:45] <sinbox> can't kill the app usr13 or all the connection get lost, I just had one rogue sourece connected and couldn't contact the [deleted expletive] person who had left it running streaming silence
[01:45] <linxeh> eross: try "quote site nostrip"
[01:45] <sp0wn> nokia much more important than sound =P
[01:45] <Dexi> nbeebo, but i couldnt resize it from SuSE install without formatting... :(
[01:45] <eross> ah
[01:45] <gogereaver> nbeebo just go to capture in the voulm manger
[01:45] <usr13> sinbox: You can specify port number (in firestarter).
[01:45] <gogereaver> nbeebo and unmute the speaker icon
[01:45] <overridex> techsupport: i knew someone who used a cheaper one... trying to remember the name of it
[01:46] <Dexi> do i need to do it from bios?
[01:46] <sp0wn> gogereaver - I had that same issue on a Asus 900A Eee PC
[01:46] <gogereaver> sp0wn yesterday he was trying to capture sound from the card
[01:46] <gogereaver> sp0wn vs a mic
[01:46] <sp0wn> ahhh
[01:46] <anteaya> what is the bash command to display relevant system information?
[01:47] <altus-dominus> anyone please ?
[01:47] <sp0wn> gogereaver - On the Eee you had to unmute the capture to get OUTPUT to work!
[01:47] <dr_willis> anteaya,  what info?
[01:47] <gogereaver> sp0wn yep
[01:47] <anteaya> dr_willis, system information for bug reporting, my os
[01:47] <dr_willis> anteaya,  not sure ther eis 1 command for that
[01:47] <gogereaver> sp0wn ho wait
[01:48] <gogereaver> sp0wn oh
[01:48] <gogereaver> sp0wn that means recording from it might not work
[01:48] <anteaya> dr_willis, I'm pretty sure there is, I've just forgotten it, thanks anyway
[01:48] <Emerica> I'd like to launch Xine via command line over ssh but it seems that Xine is looking at my session and cannot open the display, is there a way to load scripts or applications over ssh as if they were being run from the client machine itself? I'd prefer not to use a remote desktop. X11 forwarding has come up in my searches but everything after seems to forward to the remote machine or is remote desktop based.  Tanks for your time
[01:48] <sp0wn> gogereaver - that's probably true
[01:48] <overridex> techsupport: sorry, i can't remember, and i'm not seeing anything familiar on google
[01:48] <sp0wn> gogereaver - I haven't tried to use it for recording or video conference or anything
[01:49] <AnneShirley> How do I disable the drums at the login screen?
[01:49] <jrib> Emerica: just set the DISPLAY environment variable appropriately
[01:49] <overridex> anyone use a bluetooth headset and have the button mapped to do something?
[01:49] <sp0wn> gogereaver - but I suspect that you're right, the module isn't mapping the interfaces correctly
[01:49] <nbeebo> gogereaver, this is my current settings.. http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Screenshot.png

[01:49] <Dexi> or that
[01:49] <Emerica> Jrib: Ive tried, fglrxinfo on the main machine is :0.0
[01:49] <Dexi> i mean session preferences lol
[01:49] <AnneShirley> Ok. Thanks!
[01:49] <jrib> nbeebo: please don't do that
[01:50] <AnneShirley> I'm about to install Ubuntu. Should I get 8.04 LTS or 8.10?
[01:50] <Dexi> 8.1
[01:50] <syncx> what could be the error with this - virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory
[01:50] <syncx> make[1]: *** [bg.o] Error 1
[01:50] <Dexi> hands down
[01:50] <gogereaver> nbeebo in the device drop down menu you would be able to slect capture
[01:50] <gogereaver> nbeebo thats what you wanna unmute should be a speaker icon
[01:50] <AnneShirley> It's alot better, huh?
[01:50] <Dexi> AnneShirley: in System>Preferences>Sessions theres a "Gnome Login Sound" checkbox, thats what i meant
[01:50] <josher4> AnneShirley: 8.10. It is WAY better...
[01:50] <Dexi> yes it is a lot better :)
[01:50] <sp0wn> nbeebo - you're looking at the Volume Manager or what not... for the hard drive... try the speaker icon
[01:50] <jrib> AnneShirley: LTS means you only need to upgrade every 3 years instead of every 18 months.  If that's not an issue for you, then go with 8.10
[01:51]  * overridex wonders why his "PC Speaker" shows up under /proc/bus/input/devices
[01:51] <gogereaver> sp0wn thast the manager he whants
[01:51] <AnneShirley> Ok. I'll shoot for 8.10
[01:51] <gogereaver> sp0wn you can enabkle sound capture from there
[01:51] <syncx> any one to help?
[01:51] <sp0wn> gogereaver oh yeah?  that's weird, then
[01:51] <nbeebo> jrib, i cant link? ???
[01:51] <AnneShirley> Some people say that 8.04 is more reliable. Is that true?
[01:51] <syncx> virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory
[01:51] <syncx> [08:51] <syncx> make[1]: *** [bg.o] Error 1
[01:51] <syncx> what should i do with that error?
[01:51] <nbeebo> gogereaver, that is done isnt it..
[01:52] <jrib> nbeebo: link to sane URLs
[01:52] <Dexi> AnneShirley: i dont think its reliable at all
[01:52] <gogereaver> sp0wn not relly switching from a mic to soundcard is always a bit tricky
[01:52] <gogereaver> nbeebo i ment
[01:52] <nbeebo> jrib, im not breaking any rules so please dont go off topic
[01:52] <mavsman4457> I can't get my external monitor to work with my laptop, what can I do?
[01:52] <AnneShirley> Ok. I'm with everyone else. I'm going to install 8.10.
[01:52] <josher4> AnneShirley: Go with 8.10, it is more reliable.
[01:52] <nbeebo> sp0wn, when u click on the speaker icon that is what shows
[01:53] <jrib> nbeebo: just don't create a url like that next time.  There's no need to spam the channel with a hundred '-'
[01:53] <gogereaver> nbeebo in device manager on that windows
[01:53] <gogereaver> nbeebo switch the device to capture
[01:53] <gogereaver> nbeebo it should say like hda capture
[01:53] <martin__> hey guys
[01:53] <nbeebo> jrib, i didnt make that, filename was maybe 15 signs
[01:53] <josher4> Hello
[01:54] <jrib> nbeebo: you're missing the point
[01:54] <nbeebo> gogereaver, ok ill try
[01:54] <sp0wn> mavsman4456 - if you have an nvidia card, try "sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig" from a shell (command prompt)
[01:54] <AnneShirley> josher4: Hello.
[01:54] <josher4> AnneShirley: Lmao, I was saying it to martin but Hello!
[01:54] <sp0wn> mavsman4456 then click on System | Administration | NVidia X Configuration Manager
[01:54] <gogereaver> nbeebo from there you can switch the recording input i did this myself yesterday
[01:55] <AnneShirley> josher4: How are you doing?
[01:55] <gogereaver> nbeebo you should only see 2 icons your speaker and mic
[01:55] <josher4> AnneShirley: Well, and you?
[01:55] <AnneShirley> And doing fine, thank you!
[01:55] <josher4> AnneShirley: That is good
[01:55] <erisco> how do I share an Internet connection on Ubuntu?
[01:56] <nbeebo> gogereaver, theres 2 options one is ALSA PCM other is monitor source, rest is the same, capture etc
[01:56] <nbeebo> gogereaver, i cant use sound yet no speakers, so i cant test
[01:56] <erisco> I am connected to a wireless network that provides me with Internet, and I am connected to a wired network that I want to provide Internet to. how can I accomplish this in 8.10?
[01:56] <Emerica> Jrib: solved.
[01:56] <AnneShirley> josher4: Are you a Ubuntu expert?
[01:57] <dr_willis> !ics | erisco
[01:57] <gogereaver> nbeebo looks like its your option window on your setup
[01:57] <gogereaver> nbeebo inout source
[01:57] <gogereaver> nbeebo input
[01:57] <erisco> dr_willis, thanks
[01:57] <josher4> AnneShirley: Lol. no. I'm just getting started. Windows and Mac expert though. Linux: Not so much
[01:57] <savvas> AnneShirley: ask your question, someone will probably know the answer
[01:57] <josher4> AnneShirley: Though I have read up on it
[01:58] <AnneShirley> savvas: I have no problem.
[01:58] <nbeebo> gogereaver,  there is 2 of those 'input source" , both with the options - mic, front mic, line and cd
[01:58] <savvas> AnneShirley: then... why do you want an ubuntu expert? :)
[01:58] <josher4> savvas: She is just wondering...
[01:58] <AnneShirley> josher4: I'm getting started on Ubuntu. Have experience on Fedora and openSUSE.
[01:58] <savvas> ah, kinky :p
[01:58] <AnneShirley> savvas: I just wanted to know.
[01:58] <gogereaver> nbeebo then it looks right
[01:58] <josher4> AnneShirley: Some on Fedora
[01:58] <nbeebo> this isnt a dating channel all..
[01:59] <savvas> no offense, AnneShirley :) Welcome aboard!
[01:59] <nbeebo> gogereaver, hm ok, which should i choose?
[01:59] <eseven73> lol nbeebo
[01:59] <gogereaver> nbeebo it should grab any sound
[01:59] <AnneShirley> savvas: Thanks!
[01:59] <martin__> yall got the cube going?
[01:59] <gogereaver> nbeebo mic with the speaker unmuted in recording looks correct
[01:59] <AnneShirley> josher4: I have experience on XP and Vista, and some OS X 10.3
[01:59] <josher4> AnneShirley: Nice
[02:00] <nbeebo> gogereaver, but which options with those input source stuff, line mic mic boost or cd? line?
[02:00] <josher4> AnneShirley: What made you come to Ubuntu?
[02:00] <gogereaver> nbeebo just turn off the mic you dont whant it capturing both
[02:00] <nbeebo> !o4o
[02:00] <gogereaver> nbeebo it doesent relly matter
[02:00] <jrib> josher4, AnneShirley: please use #ubuntu-offtopic for chat, #ubuntu is dedicated for support
[02:00] <erisco> dr_willis, I have to do setup on the client as well?
[02:00] <AnneShirley> josher4: Looks like we're getting in trouble...
[02:00] <nbeebo> gogereaver, but it doesnt work, tried with sound...
[02:00] <gogereaver> nbeebo its a old trick with soundcards
[02:00] <josher4> jrib: So sorry. Wont happen again
[02:01] <gogereaver> nbeebo humm maybe it just doesent support it
[02:01] <dr_willis> erisco,   not messed with that in ages.. i dont recall much setup needed on the client end..  Perhaps set the gateway/dns to be the ics server..
[02:01] <gogereaver> nbeebo i have a capture option in alisa
[02:01] <nbeebo> gogereaver, NooooooOoOoo.... maybe do it in another way, within the system not the soundcard
[02:01] <erisco> dr_willis, I have zero ability to setup anything on the client. its DHCP or nothing
[02:01] <nbeebo> gogereaver, alsa* just so u wont type that again..
[02:02] <lomez> hi, i just installed ubuntu on a new laptop, i have it installed on my desktop as well
[02:02] <dr_willis> erisco,  no idea then.  of course you could set up a dhcp server :)
[02:02] <gogereaver> nbeebo that lets me switch  my input fro my mic to master/pcm
[02:02] <nbeebo> gogereaver, ok
[02:02]  * overridex dances
[02:02] <lomez> hi, i just installed ubuntu on a new laptop, i have it installed on my desktop as well
[02:02] <lomez> when i plug in an external hd, it displays thi
[02:02] <lomez> s
[02:02] <erisco> dr_willis, is this easier with firestarter?
[02:02] <eseven73> !enter | lomez
[02:02] <erisco> dr_willis, I tried firestarter in the past but it completely screwed up iptables and I couldn't connect to anything anymore
[02:02] <dr_willis> erisco,  no idea.  firestarter does the exact same 'commands' it just has a gui to them..
[02:03] <lomez> sorry eseven73
[02:03] <erisco> dr_willis, and I couldn't find anyway to set iptables back to the default
[02:03] <gogereaver> nbeebo im a acer one fan lol not  eepc
[02:03] <dr_willis> erisco,  'sudo iptables --flush' i recall. :)
[02:03] <nbeebo> gogereaver, uhm ok lol
[02:03] <dr_willis> !iptables
[02:04] <erisco> dr_willis, will this remove important things I need though?
[02:04] <lomez> it says bad fs, cannot mount
[02:04] <jacobcream> why isnt Amarok working??
[02:04] <lomez> or badsuperblock
[02:04] <gogereaver> nbeebo you could always run a cable from the sound card to line in its cheap and easy
[02:04] <dr_willis> erisco,  it fluses out/removes all existing iptables rules that you have setup..   check iptables docs/guides to see how it works..
[02:04] <jacobcream> every time i try to play some music : it says "Audio output unavialble the device is busy"
[02:04] <lomez> even when i type sudo mount /dev/sdc1, it doesnt work
[02:05] <sztomi> is there a deb package for QGtkStyle?
[02:05] <gogereaver> nbeebo all you need is a pice of 4m audio cable and a ipod head phone spliter
[02:05] <dr_willis> lomez,  you may want to give a full proper mount command with all needed options.
[02:05] <gogereaver> nbeebo so you dont need to kep removing it
[02:06] <erisco> dr_willis, firestarter is freezing on me
[02:06] <erisco> dr_willis, whenever I try to select a list of devices it freezes for a few seconds
[02:06] <lomez>  dr_willis thanks, i just want the external hd to automatically mount wheni plug it in, it does that on my desktop ubuntu install
[02:06] <dr_willis> erisco,  i never use firestarter.. so no idea. could be its doing some scanning/work
[02:06] <Zemus> Hey everyone. :) I realize this is a little off topic, but could anyone recommend an open source alternative to Ghost, for drive imaging? I will award internets. ^.^
[02:06] <erisco> dr_willis, it is running very very slow
[02:07] <savvas> Zemus: have you tried www.osalt.com ?
[02:07] <dr_willis> lomez,    check output of 'dmesg' command befor/after you plug it in and look for error messages.. Mount it manually with the proper options if needed..
[02:07] <Zemus> savvas: no, I'll check it out. Do you have experience with it?
[02:07] <lomez> dr_willis, can you explain those proper  options
[02:08] <lomez> im kind of an ubuntu noob, so i dont really understand. it just works on my other ubuntu install, but im willing to do any kind of work to get it going her
[02:08] <lomez> e
[02:08] <savvas> Zemus: it's a site that proposes alternatives to windows/closed-source applications :)
[02:08] <dr_willis> lomez,  theres tons of guides on mounting drives inder linux. basics - 'sudo mount /dev/DEVICENAME /media/mountpoint  -o OPTIONS THAT DEPEND ON YOUR FILESYSTEM
[02:08] <dr_willis> !mount
[02:09] <Zemus> Oh, heh, I see that. Thanks, savvas, I'll check it out. :)
[02:09] <lomez> e
[02:09] <nbeebo> gogereaver, hmm back.. yeah maybe i should, but what u mean with the ipod part?
[02:09] <lomez> e;/
[02:09] <nbeebo> gogereaver,  oh now i see
[02:09] <savvas> Zemus: the application clonezilla http://clonezilla.org/ has been suggested a few times by others. maybe give it a try
[02:09] <lomez> damnit new keyboard, sorry, its not partitioning a new install though
[02:09] <nbeebo> gogereaver, i think i have one, or i can buy one at computer store
[02:09] <gogereaver> nbeebo yea cuple bucks at walmart
[02:10] <gogereaver> nbeebo for both parts
[02:10] <gogereaver> nbeebo just run the 4mm cable from the soundcards output to line in
[02:10] <jhalstead> I have a 28GB tar file.  it's so large Archive Manager seams to be hanging.  I'd like to open it in terminal or something to delete the biggest file.
[02:10] <gogereaver> nbeebo the splitter lets you conect your speakers to
[02:10] <nbeebo> gogereaver, pretty expensive to pay 1000 dollars for a trip to walmart.. lol
[02:11] <gogereaver> nbeebo well any store
[02:11] <Zemus> savvas: thanks
[02:11] <nbeebo> gogereaver, yeah i know, im logical thinker...
[02:11] <nbeebo> gogereaver, ok thanks and buy all try that tomorrow
[02:12] <gogereaver> nbeebo yea then line in is capturing all sound output
[02:12] <gogereaver> nbeebo old tv cards used this trick
[02:12] <Zemus> Whoa, savvas, clonezilla looks fantastic, thanks very much! :)
[02:12] <nbeebo> gogereaver, k ill try right away then.. lol

[02:17] <box> if im hosting a site with ubuntu and i created a index.html on another machine would i upload it to /etc/httpd ? or where
[02:18] <nbeebo> gogereaver, yep.. but really everything is technical.. even atoms o_O
[02:18] <eseven73> phrostbite: you can press tab after typing like 'myk' then it fills in the entire name for you :)
[02:18] <phrostbite> Yeah it can. Maybe I need to troubleshoot as to why its not picking up my friend who is logged in.
[02:18] <phrostbite> oh thanks eseven73 :)
[02:18] <eseven73> anytime
[02:18] <myk_robinson> box: it can be in several places.. For example, i host sql-ledger for my business on one of my machines, and the location is /usr/local/sql-ledger

[02:19] <joejc> is there any way to convert a .tivo file in ubuntu?

[02:22] <nbeebo> gogereaver, different sound port*
[02:22] <myk_robinson> Circs: are you on it now? are you able to get an Ethernet connection?
[02:22] <Circs> myk_robinson: yes it gets a wired connection
[02:22] <gogereaver> nbeebo with the line in lead setup i said any output on your pc can be recorded
[02:23] <myk_robinson> if so, have all updates been run? What does the restricted driver manager say about it?
[02:23] <gogereaver> nbeebo no hacks nedded
[02:23] <techsupport> maybe can anyone recommend me a VPS service provider in U.S. East ?
[02:23] <phrostbite> I don't know if this is an ubuntu question but we recently got verizon internet and on there computer they have a shared folder. Well is there a way to have that folder so i can access it from my laptop and put stuff into the shared folder?
[02:23] <gogereaver> nbeebo dont knoe why your softwhere doesent have that option
[02:23] <nbeebo> gogereaver, yeah... .. but trying to broadcast internet radio through a game.. but maybe u can do that with mounting a directory/folder as a cd...
[02:24] <joejc> how do i make a script?
[02:24] <usr13> Circs: You sure it's not working?
[02:24] <Circs> myk_robinson: can't do that atm, but i can tell you what i see
[02:24] <Circs> usr13: yes
[02:24] <myk_robinson> Circs: nevermind about the lshw, you already provided the chipset. Have you run all updates?
[02:24] <Circs> myk_robinson: yes
[02:25] <myk_robinson> that chipset should pull a driver through the restricted driver manager.. Hang on a sec.
[02:25] <gogereaver> nbeebo acully that would  mean you need brodcastong softwhere that supports mp3 playback
[02:25] <usr13> core2troll: See:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174

[02:26] <Seracht> anyone tried running office 2007 with WINE?
[02:26] <myk_robinson> oh. I had that same chipset on a laptop running 8.04 too, had to jump through some hoops, but documented it
[02:26] <nbeebo> gogereaver, hmm yeah.. but ill take that later on
[02:26] <PrivateRolf> Searacht: No, but if you buy Crossover, some of the profit goes to developing WINE, as it is a WINE port.
[02:26] <gogereaver> nbeebo never did it in linux but i bet icecash can do it
[02:26] <myk_robinson> Circs: i wil look for the doc i made, i got to where I could get it working in three minutes from a clean install.. be right back

[02:31] <rww> phrostbite: that should about cover the basics
[02:31] <myk_robinson> circs: I will have directions for you in just a few more minutes, typing it up
[02:31] <circs> myk_robinson: I'm now on the mini 9
[02:31] <jrib> joejc: well basically, you make the first line read "#!/bin/bash" and then enter commands line by line.  You don't seem that comfortable doing this.  Why do you want to?
[02:31] <PrivateRolf> Anyone know how to authorize launchpad PPAs?
[02:31] <myk_robinson> circs: the wifi is BCM4310 rev 01? The revision is VERY important
[02:31] <titefuzz> is this a help channel?
[02:31] <circs> Yes
[02:32] <titefuzz> nevermind
[02:32] <titefuzz> just read topic
[02:32] <circs> myk_robinson: It is, and now I can pastebin whatever you need
[02:32] <Vigo> phrostbite: is a secure site, but yes, look like it can and has been done,,,
[02:32] <Vigo> phrostbite: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2008-October/161147.html
[02:32] <joejc> jrib, i found a script in text formate and i want to use it
[02:33] <titefuzz> I am running wine and use a program that primarily uses the clipboard to grab copied data from a webpage.  Is there some fix for wine and the clipboard ?
[02:33] <TriBeCa99> anyone know how to copy ALL the data off a partition, including the entire OS, to another partition?
[02:33] <ahklerner> ! audio drivers
[02:33] <myk_robinson> circs: while I'm typing, please obtain the driver by typing this into a console          wget ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R174291.exe
[02:33] <TriBeCa99> i'm told it can be done with a LiveCD, but I can't figure out how to do it with the Ubuntu LiveCD
[02:33] <Barridus> can i make a script just by creating an empty file and putting commands in it?
[02:33] <jrib> joejc: be more specific.  What does the script do?  Running random scripts you find but do not understand is a great way to compromise your system
[02:33] <gogereaver> neebo http://www.gnuware.com/icecast/chap_09_04.html
[02:33] <Vigo> phrostbite: on the forums says Samba,,,http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-150635.html
[02:33] <mike_> HI, Can anyone help me install STARCRAFT on my ubuntu system? I have the iso's only and dont even know where to being
[02:33] <titefuzz> barridus,yes
[02:34] <Barridus> ok cool, thank you
[02:34] <jrib> Barridus: yes.  You should make the first line "#!/bin/bash" or whatever interpreter you want
[02:34] <phrostbite> vigo thats exactly what I needed. I appreciate it very much. You all that have done an excellent job helping me.
[02:34] <Barridus> ok that's handy too
[02:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !games > mike_
[02:34] <Barridus> any particular character between commands?  or just enter
[02:34] <Vigo> phrosbite: my pleasure
[02:34] <Jack_Sparrow> mike_, See also !appdb
[02:34] <ahklerner> !audio
[02:34] <jrib> joejc: just put the script somewhere, make it executable, and then execute it by providing its path
[02:35] <ArrPirate> is there a way to make it so a grub option has a password on it?
[02:35] <joejc> so what do i save it as?
[02:35] <jrib> Barridus: just enter is fine.  You should check out the guides on tldp.org
[02:35] <mike_> i think i can get it, i just dont know which program i need to use to mount it...
[02:35] <Barridus> ok i'll go there, thanks :D
[02:35] <Hector> Hm.
[02:35] <Hector> Hmmmm.
[02:35] <myk_robinson> circs: be sure that from here on out you address me directly. I am not looking at pidgin at present, but if i'm directly addressed, I will hear it  thanks
[02:35] <Hector> There are way too many users here.
[02:36] <circs> myk_robinson: Not a problem
[02:36] <Barridus> i am quickly acquiring a vast array of useful bookmarks, you guys are great
[02:36] <ArrPirate> I have dual boot windows and ubuntu and I'd like to know if there's a way to make it so you have to put in a password to select the windows option in grub, if that's at all possible
[02:36] <pwnedulongtime> anyone know how to remove orphaned gconf keys?
[02:37] <Vigo> ArrPirate: Grub is pass locked by default, then there are screen locks and stuff that can be atou activated or manually invoked
[02:37] <myk_robinson> circs: do you have the driver done yet?
[02:37] <keelow> what is the best ssh client for x windows
[02:38] <myk_robinson> circs: i'm almost done with the document for you
[02:38] <CShadowRun> Ubuntu has ndiswrapper built in now, right?

[02:39] <myk_robinson> circs: cool. Just need to modiy one part real quick to match the new driver file. Used to be a zip, i think i need to use cabextract to get the contents
[02:39] <travis_> hello guys how do i install this theme heres the link: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Silver?content=96370
[02:40] <ArrPirate> when I install something through Synaptic it often installs all the dependencies as well, but then I uninstall the main thing and at least some of the dependencies stay behind and I can't remember what file go to what... is there a solution for this that I'm missing?
[02:40] <Dexi> can someone explain the ~/.file thing to me? what does the ~ represent?
[02:40] <funkyHat> ArrPirate: use aptitude instead
[02:40] <Zemus> Dexi: it's an abbreviation of the directory path that you're in.
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Dexi, /home/$USER
[02:41] <essial> dEXI: ~ means home
[02:41] <Dexi> ohk
[02:41] <myk_robinson> circs: you got pretty fast internet? I will need to sendspace you some files. Had to use Wine to get the data out of the file from Dell
[02:41] <Dexi> ok so i have ~/.xchat2 but i cant find that folder in the file browser
[02:41] <Vigo> Aptitude is supported now?
[02:41] <essial> I have a problem with firefox starting in a restored (not maximized) state that fills the entire window, making it impossible to move -- this happens on a regular basis, anyone else have this problem?
[02:41] <circs> myk_robinson: 5meg
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Dexi, .means hidden
[02:41] <Dexi> ooh
[02:42] <jacobcream> byeeee
[02:42] <essial> Dexi: press ctrl+h
[02:42] <circs> myk_robinson: Also i followed this little bit here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff#Step%201:%20All%20BCM43xx%20-%20Install%20NDISWrapper%20and%20Blacklist%20Native%20Driver

[02:42] <Vigo> Ok, thank you
[02:42] <Dexi> haha ok so can i put that . in front of whatever i want without messing up anything?
[02:43] <essial> Dexi: yes
[02:43] <essial> .whtaever doesn't hide it in general, but most graphical file browsers hide files/folders that start with .
[02:43] <Dexi> cool

[02:44] <pwnedulongtime> never understood the logic behind hiding ~/. directories...since that's where the user configs live for most apps
[02:44] <essial> !sound
[02:44] <ArrPirate> funkyHat: Wow! Seems that does exactly what I wanted! However, the interface is kinda not my thing. Are there better GUI front ends?
[02:45] <savvas> ArrPirate: for what?
[02:45] <essial> travis_: in general you extract the tar, go to it in a console, and do: ./configure     make   then sudo make install
[02:45] <essial> but check to make sure there isn't a .deb for it
[02:45] <ArrPirate> savvas: aptitude
[02:45] <travis_> Essial it comes with a xml and lots of pictures
[02:45] <ahklerner> hey how do i get the volume control app
[02:46] <savvas> ArrPirate: tried system > administration > synaptic or applications > add/remove... ?
[02:46] <essial> travis_: try dragging the tar.gz to the apperances dialog
[02:46] <Vigo> travis: I think I saw that in Synaptic,,,maybe an apt-get or whatever?
[02:47] <travis_> essial: it says its not a valid the,e
[02:47] <ArrPirate> savvas: It doesn't remove the dependencies sometimes
[02:47] <myk_robinson> circs: sorry , had a call from a roofer..
[02:47] <myk_robinson> circs: do yo uhave wine installed?
[02:47] <essial> ah menu theme
[02:48] <Laderius> When i minimize my windows they just dissappear how can i et em back?
[02:48] <Laderius> they dont stack on the taskbar
[02:48] <circs> myk_robinson: No
[02:48] <Zemus> Laderius: no, they are gone forever
[02:48] <travis_> essial: what do i do
[02:48] <Laderius> Zemus, oh, how would i minimize and keep em
[02:48] <myk_robinson> circs: this will save me an upload.. Please run form console:   sudo aptitude install wine    or, do you have a Windows machine nearby?
[02:48] <essial> I think its for an app called GnoMenu, a seperate application from normal gnome
[02:49] <travis_>  Essial k hold
[02:49] <travis_> ill try
[02:49] <essial> again not 100% sure though
[02:49] <sagredo> Hi linux friends - how may I see the hard drives my machine has?
[02:49] <lazyPower> Any linux skype users in here?
[02:49] <Vigo> Laderius: Do you have a bottom taskbar or whatever is called?
[02:50] <circs> myk_robinson: Installing wine atm
[02:50] <savvas> ArrPirate: yeah, you can head to synaptic > lower right corner, Status > check "Installed (local or obsolete)" and " Not installed(residual config)"
[02:50] <erisco> I have my shared internet partially working. my client machine complains about DNS though. how do I configure this part?
[02:50] <leoechevarria> sagredo: use the command 'fdisk -l' in root mode
[02:50] <travis_> essial
[02:50] <Laderius> vigo yep
[02:50] <travis_> It dont work
[02:50] <leoechevarria> haya there
[02:50] <Laderius> vigo when i minimise firefox it just dissappears
[02:50] <erisco> right now I am using dhcp3 for DHCP. will this collide with dnsmasq?
[02:50] <myk_robinson> circs: when that is done, run    winecfg       then report back, please
[02:51] <savvas> ArrPirate: sorry, lower left corner :)
[02:51] <circs> myk_robinson: ok

[02:53] <ArrPirate> savvas: No, what that in fact does is tell me if there are uninstalled programs with residual config files still in my home directory
[02:53] <travis_> Jack_Sparrow
[02:54] <Vigo> Laderius: Maybe remove or replace the bottom tray. Then size it up the way you prefer.
[02:54] <Laderius> Vigo, could it be settings in compfuisn or w/e
[02:54] <Seracht> http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=98668&d=1231071844 -- in the screenshot here, what is the application docked to the right called?

[03:07] <ra21vi> ActionParsnip: first of all, i clearly stated that operations are to be performed in console mode. so there is no option to start gedit

[03:09] <ra21vi> Redcard: Installing on vista, using wubi
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> davit: its not very secure
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Redcard, Actually, that is a much better choice that wubi.. from inside windows
[03:09] <tyler_d> Redcard: first mistake... vista.... second, resizing the partition... don't think it will like that 2 much
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> than
[03:09] <Redcard> tyler_d: The computer came with it, didn't have a real choice.  So how long does the resize typically take?

[03:10] <ActionParsnip> davit: how are you mounting it? try using UIDs etc to set permissions
[03:10] <tyler_d> Redcard: my concern would be what utility are you using to resize the partition?
[03:10] <vickinha_nit> oi amigos
[03:10] <Redcard> tyler_d: Guided install.
[03:10] <tyler_d> Redcard: as windows vista is pretty picky about how big it thinks it is....
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> davit: http://www.hafenscher.net/wiki/index.php?page=Mount_USB_stick_read_and_writable_for_users
[03:11] <davit> actionparsnip: It automounts when I connect it, and when i right click on drive to change permissions says they cannot be found
[03:11] <Redcard> It seemed to recognize it was vista, and left the loader.  I'd assume (and probabbly incorrectly) that it would have popped a warning if it thought it shouldn't be done
[03:11] <CaneToad> I have a Ubuntu install but the GRUB bootblock is erased.  What's the best plan of attack to reinstall grub for it?
[03:11] <tyler_d> Redcard: with guided it should take maybe maybe 5 minutes
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> davit: i'd check the options its mounting with
[03:11] <Redcard> tyler_d: It's a guided resize.  It's had the "Please wait" message up for about 30 minutes

[03:12] <dwidmann> Hmm, I've changed video cards from an nvidia card (it died) an ati card, and I'm trying to figure out how to set it up so I have the right resolution on my monitors, anybody have a sample xorg.conf or 2 that I might find useful?
[03:12] <tyler_d> Redcard: thats scary, hopefully someone will confirm my course of action... restart, and ensure that vista is still in tact before trying again
[03:12] <davit> actionparsnip: How can i check it
[03:12] <phil> Dam0: pop open a terminal (applications -> accessories -> terminal) and type    sudo apt-get install apache2           then just put your website files in /var/www
[03:12] <erisco> I cannot get DNS to resolve on a box on my internal LAN. Internet is shared from this computer, acting as a gateway, to the Internet. how can I start troubleshooting?
[03:12] <tokyoahead> hi guys... is it a good idea to install a higher version of wine than the default? It seems very old (1.0.1) as opposed to the current (1.1.12)

[03:13] <Redcard> Anyone want to confirm tyler_d's suggestion?
[03:13] <Redcard> Don't worry, won't blame ya. :)

[03:13] <davit> actionparsnip: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
[03:14] <ActionParsnip> davit: are you logged in as yourself?
[03:14] <Redcard> Oh well, live and let die :)
[03:14] <davit> actionparsnip: yes
[03:14] <travis_> hello guys how do i install this theme heres the link: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Silver?content=96370
[03:14] <ActionParsnip> davit: good, then you should be ok
[03:14] <_dennister> hey channel, finally got my xorg.conf using my video card properly, now totem doesn't crash when starting a commercial dvd, but vlc does crash with a dvd with these settings...lol...vlc doesn't crash while playing a flash video, so it's dvd-specific
[03:15] <_dennister> anyone know why this might happen?
[03:15] <spencer> anyway to force the v4l2 to use xine instead of gstreamer?? really not a big fan of gstreamer at all!
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> davit: thats your / partition, not the mounted drive
[03:15] <spencer> it just somehow messed up all my stuff after my last update
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> davit: you usb drive wil be /media/<something>
[03:16] <omarco> Can I make my shell script do an specific action when it receives a "ctrl+c"?
[03:17] <x_> hi there
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> omarco: it'll stop, ctrl+c == break
[03:17] <davit> actionparsnip: the folder is /media/disk
[03:17] <leonut> test
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> davit: so what does mount say about that mounting?
[03:17] <\kira> leonut: Your test worked
[03:17] <titefuzz> I am running wine and use a program that primarily uses the clipboard to grab copied data from a webpage.  Is there some fix for wine and the clipboard ?
[03:18] <davit> actionparsnip: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> titefuzz, /join #winehq
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> davit: thats cool, ext3 is nice and friendly
[03:18] <erisco> can anyone help me get DNS resolving on my internal network? I am not sure how to diagnose the problem at this point. I simply cannot reach the world wide web
[03:18] <titefuzz> ty Jack_Sparrow
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[03:18] <omarco> ActionParsnip: Only more elaborate programs can control what to do if the user presses "ctrl+c" (e.g. removing lock files)?
[03:18] <\kira> If I set up a tunnel, can I send more than one application through that tunnel? So rather than setting up a tunnel for xchat, then one for firefox, could I just put them both through the same tunnel?
[03:18] <tyler_d> erisco: what does traceroute show you as your gateway?
[03:19] <kitche> \kira: yes
[03:19] <tyler_d> erisco: alternately from term what does `route` show ?
[03:19] <werdnum> omarco: sure they can.
[03:19] <\kira> kitche: cool, thanks
[03:19] <werdnum> You need to trap SIGINT
[03:19] <davit> actionparsnip: Its not allowing me to change or edit any files on the drive
[03:19] <erisco> tyler_d, execute these on the gateway?
[03:19] <werdnum> which I have no idea how to do in shell scriptish
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> davit: i'd try sudo chmod -R 755 /media.disk
[03:19] <_dennister> lol...spoke too soon...totem did play the dvd, but now is crashing just like vlc
[03:19] <omarco> werdnum: but lowly shell scripts can't do that, can they?
[03:19] <erisco> tyler_d, the internal network uses HDCP
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> davit: i'd also chown to files to your username if it intends to be a permanent fixture
[03:19] <erisco> tyler_d, HDCP*
[03:19] <erisco> ...
[03:20] <erisco> tyler_d, DHCP** :P
[03:20] <mr_sukor> :-O
[03:20] <erisco> tyler_d, IP addresses get assigned correctly. however, DNS does not resolve.
[03:20] <davit> actionparsnip: Cool the chmod fixed it
[03:20] <erisco> tyler_d, I have been following this: http://bigbrovar.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/how-to-share-your-internet-connection-on-ubuntu/
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> erisco: can you ping IPs?
[03:20] <goat|lappy> erisco: so you can visit 64.233.167.99?
[03:21] <davit> actionparsnip: How do I use chown
[03:21] <tyler_d> erisco: in a terminal paste `route` and tell me the output please, if its over 2 lines please use pastebin
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> davit: sudo chown -R <yourusername> /media/disk
[03:21] <_dennister> i'll be back in a few minutes folks...
[03:21] <davit> actionparsnip: Ok
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> davit: -R == recursive
[03:22] <erisco> tyler_d, http://pastebin.ca/1302050
[03:22] <con-man> !I love map | con-man
[03:22] <tyler_d> erisco: from the term does `ping yahoo.com` resolve? or just sit there?
[03:22] <davit> actionparsnip: Thanks youve been only one that bee able to help I been looking for a week
[03:23] <erisco> tyler_d, it just sits there
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> its a common command dude, im suprised
[03:23] <erisco> tyler_d, do you want these executed on the gateway or a computer in the internal network?
[03:23] <spencer> anyone can help me with my v4l2 issue?
[03:23] <davit> actionparsnip: Everyone else has been telling me to repartionin and stuff
[03:23] <tyler_d> erisco: what do you mean by "on the gateway"?
[03:23] <mr_sukor> v4l2?
[03:23] <mr_sukor> what thats
[03:24] <erisco> tyler_d, my computer is acting as the gateway to the internal network
[03:24] <\kira> how could I trace the route a tunnel takes?
[03:24] <spencer> that's the video 4 linux lib
[03:24] <erisco> tyler_d, as I posted the link, I am trying to share an internet connection coming over wifi with a wired network
[03:24] <davit> actionparsnip: I remembered chmod from servers i had but couldn't remember he command
[03:24] <tyler_d> \kira: install trace route
[03:24] <kitche> erisco: by chance did you set the dhcpcd server to pass the dns servers along as well or no?
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> davit: no need, just take ownership
[03:24] <\kira> tyler_d: I have it installed....
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and type cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition  (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify the permissi
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> ons are set
[03:24] <spencer> mr_sukor: it allow programs like amsn to use webcam.
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> davit: should have read the man pages
[03:24] <tyler_d> erisco: you need to set the gateway back to your router, judging from your post it should be 192.168.1.0
[03:24] <mr_sukor> ic
[03:24] <mr_sukor> i'm using pidgin
[03:25] <\kira> tyler_d: Im wondering how I could trace the route a tunnel on a port takes, rather than the traditional way it does it (not sure how)
[03:25] <mr_sukor> and still wait for the webcam option
[03:25] <erisco> kitche, well, in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf there is a configuration option to specify the DNS server, and it is correct
[03:25] <ari_stress> tyler_d: why ubuntu by default install traceroute6 and not the usual traceroute?
[03:25] <spencer> mr_sukor, don't hold your breath on it.
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> mr_sukor: i dont tyhink pidgin likes webcams, amsn does if you are using msn protocol
[03:25] <spencer> mr_sukor, not a big fan of the whole situation with that.
[03:25] <erisco> tyler_d, that command was run on my computer though, not from a computer on the internal network
[03:25] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip, That factoid covers  it correctly right
[03:26] <erisco> tyler_d, should the gateway not be 192.168.0.1 which is the address of this computer?
[03:26] <kitche> ari_stress: it installs both
[03:26] <davit> actionparsnip: thanks again
[03:26] <spencer> mr_sukor, the lead developers of pidgin pretty much say they don't care.. we'll do it whenever we feel like it..
[03:26] <mr_sukor> ic
[03:26] <mr_sukor> thanks spencer
[03:27] <erisco> tyler_d, am I making sense?
[03:27] <ari_stress> kitche: no, i don't have ordinary traceroute by default, only traceroute6, strange
[03:27] <mr_sukor> do u know how to install amsn by using command prompt?
[03:27] <K_Dallas> Good evening! Do I need to perform extra tasks for installing Ubuntu on a Vista system? (there are enough partitions for Ubuntu). This is the first time I dual boot vista with anything. XP has always been all right. Thanks
[03:27] <omarco> Is it possible to control what a shell script would do if it receives a "CTRL+C" (e.g. removing a pseudo lock file)? Or is that only possible with more refined programs?
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> mr_sukor, sudo apt-get install amsn
[03:27] <mr_sukor> ok
[03:27] <mr_sukor> thanks
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> spencer: as is the case with any project
[03:28] <snowveil> what command do I use to list all hard drives currently connected to my system?
[03:28] <spencer> anyway, can someone help me with my v4l2 issue?
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> snowveil: sudo fdisk -l
[03:28] <mr_sukor> is ubuntu have software like virtual drive?
[03:28] <Jack_Sparrow> snowveil, sodu fdisk -l
[03:28] <snowveil> thanks :)
[03:28] <\kira> K_Dallas: yes, there is extra steps to take to avoid not being able to boot into windows, or not being able to boot into ubuntu, or deleting windows by accedint. I personnally, have never done dual boot and wouldnt know, but i do know there is alot of well written tutorials online (google)
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> mr_sukor: you can mount isos in a stock system
[03:29] <snowveil> k, dev/sdc
[03:29] <snowveil> how would I format it?
[03:29] <mr_sukor> do u mean extract it?
[03:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !iso
[03:29] <spencer> ActionParsnip, well, yeah, but there's enuf demand, and gaim-vv does have a startup framework.. it's a good start on getting it done.
[03:29] <Redcard> Wow.  I'm amazed that worked.
[03:29] <Jack_Sparrow> snowveil, gparted
[03:29] <K_Dallas> \kira> well, I only meant extra steps due to vista being vista otherwise have done dual boot with xp, linux, ...
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> mr_sukor: you can mount it just like you mount cd drives
[03:30] <minus18_pundit> how can install the packages i have downloaded through Add/Remove. i coudn't install the packages last time due to a power outage. i've downloaded almost 140 packges.
[03:30] <spencer> ActionParsnip, and don't get me started with their decision on moving to monotone as the version control.. it just make it that much less friendly to start hacking the project...
[03:30] <\kira> K_Dallas: oh, I see. I wouldnt think there would be any extra steps, but im not the person to ask, I tried vista on a friends computer and will never go near it again.
[03:30] <Dracie_> hi, how do i get mozilla's firefox "All Downloads Are finished" dialog from covering up my gnome panel
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> spencer: i just use stuff, i dont care for any politics
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> minus18_pundit, are they all from our repos..
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !clone
[03:30] <mr_sukor> some of windows game cant play well in ubuntu?
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> mr_sukor: the system will see the iso or the physical cd as the same
[03:30] <savvas> minus18_pundit: you go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal and execute: sudo apt-get -f install
[03:30] <mr_sukor> any ideas?
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | mr_sukor
[03:31] <K_Dallas> \kira> ok, thanks. I continue googling ;)
[03:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !appdb > mr_sukor
[03:31] <spencer> mr_sukor, goto winehq and take a look.
[03:31] <Redcard> Found what I did :P  Sillyness.
[03:31] <jessid> !lan | jessid
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> mr_sukor: theres also cedega which is paidfor software as well as crossover office (also nonfree)
[03:31] <spencer> mr_sukor, search for the app, they will tell you if it's playable.. i play WoW everynight with my Ubuntu 8.10...
[03:31] <\kira> K_Dallas: well, someone else on here might know, the only reason I pointed you to google in the first place is because I thought you were asking alot of a more basic question
[03:32] <jessid> !intranet > jessid
[03:32] <Redcard> So how many partitions should I create since I get to do this manually?
[03:32] <spencer> mr_sukor, sometimes you may have to copy some files from your XP c:\windows\system32 to your .wine folder tho.. just check winehq from more info on what you wanna do
[03:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Redcard, at least 3
[03:32] <K_Dallas> \kira> that is all right. I am really googling and there is no shame in it :):) Thanks again
[03:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Redcard, / = root  /home  and a swap at minimum
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> Redcard: you'll need a / and /swap at least, i'd suggest a sepearate one for /home too
[03:33] <\kira> K_Dallas: no problem, good luck :)
[03:33] <Redcard> Jack_Sparrow: Okay.. none of these will be at beginning of the disk.
[03:33] <snowveil> if I want this drive to be readable to both windows machines and linux, will ext2 work fine, or should I stick with fat32?
[03:33] <minus18_pundit> savvas: it installed something bbut those were not what i have downloaded last night
[03:33] <ross_> hi
[03:33] <daw> any idea why Banshee would be failing to play everything in my music directory? It's all .mp3's without any form of DRM
[03:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Redcard, You will probably need to create an extended partition to hold logicals if you go over 4 partitions
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> daw: have you instaled mp3 codecs?
[03:34] <daw> oh ... well .. that would be a good reason ..... what package would I look in for those?
[03:34] <\kira> snowveil: you cant read ex2 file systems in windows without additional software, and I would recommend fat32 if it needs to be used constantly by both operating systems. I guess it depends on how much each OS will be using it
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> !codecs | daw
[03:34] <savvas> minus18_pundit: if the packages were downloaded or not completed, the add/remove downloader will continue from where it left. So you go back to Applications > Add/Remove and check again what you wanted :)
[03:34] <Redcard> Hmm.
[03:34] <Jack_Sparrow> snowveil, Just to clarify...  you cant install ubuntu on fat or ntfs
[03:34] <leonut> test
[03:34] <\kira> snowveil: also (in case I miss-understood your question, you cant install linux on fat or ntfs
[03:34] <snowveil> thanks \kira , it's mostly for occasional transfers from my system to a friend's
[03:34] <kc8pxy> Jack_Sparrow:  not even w/ wubi?
[03:35] <savvas> daw: install the package named ubuntu-restricted-extras :)
[03:35] <\kira> snowveil: No problem :)
[03:35] <snowveil> correct, this is a portable drive :)
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> kc8pxy, No
[03:35] <Quagmire> Hello Jack_Sparrow ...I have a no new laptop that is all but 100% compatible with Ubuntu, but on to my question. I'm just not happy unless I'm trying to do something with a little challenge involved. I have executable text file that I brought over from my windows pc and I want to open it.
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> kc8pxy, Wubi does not install to an ntfs it creates a lvm
[03:35] <kitche> kc8pxy: since wubi installs inside of a image which has the ext* filesystem inside of it
[03:35] <yoyit2> is there any way to get a TrendNet TEW-444UB to work with ubuntu?
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Quagmire, setup vbox
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: what is it?
[03:36] <mr_sukor> jack : why my ubuntu font rendering keep changing?
[03:36] <Quagmire> Jack_Sparrow,  Hmmm just look for the software and install?
[03:36] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: its a usb wifi stick
[03:36] <\kira> in the terminal, the command 'ls', what does the color of a directory with a blue backgroun and white text mean?
[03:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !vbox
[03:36] <kc8pxy> kitche: Quagmire  just run it via wine :)
[03:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Quagmire, Use synaptic and look up virtualbox
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: ok then run lsusb, it will give you an identifier you can websearch for
[03:37] <Quagmire> thanks!
[03:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Quagmire, Depending on what type of exe.. even dosbox might work
[03:37] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: in terminal??
[03:37] <kc8pxy> Quagmire:  do you want to run windows inside your linux, (virtualbox) or run it "natively" (wine) ??
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: always in terminal
[03:38] <spencer> ActionParsnip, i'm always having issue with gstreamer on the color being negative.. do you have any lights to shed???
[03:38] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: so just type in "lsusb" or "sudo lsusb"??
[03:38] <rww> Jack_Sparrow: Wubi doesn't create an lvm. It creates a loopback file system inside a file in the ntfs partition. I think you got your L-jargon mixed up ;)
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: lsusb
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: you dont need sudo for every terminal command
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> rww, thanks'
[03:38] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: ok so it says "now firmware"?
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> rww, I wont use or recommend it since it was part of a crash that wiped out my ntfs and windows
[03:39] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: **no
[03:39] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: any other ideas?
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: can you give a pastebin of lsusb
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> !paste | yoyit2
[03:39] <minus18_pundit> i want to back all my downloaded package through aptoncd. but aptoncd only shows 350 mb sized packages. i have downloaded 10 times more then that. how can have all my packages llisted in aptoncd?
[03:39] <kc8pxy> rrw: it makes a file to be a loopback ext3 fs, and simply loads the fs loopback from within the ntfs it can ntfs-3g??? :)
[03:39] <Quagmire> Jack_Sparrow, there are a bunch of them to choose from (virtualbox) which one is likely the better one for me? 8.10 32 bit version installed
[03:39] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: can you send me a link
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: ubottu just gave you it
[03:40] <rww> kc8pxy: that sounds like an accurate description, yes
[03:40] <Galaxor> Hi.  I've got a thinkpad R61.  One day, my computer lost the ability to suspend when I close the lid.  Instead, it ... freezes?  How do I go about restoring this or at least debugging it?  I shut the computer, and the "sleep light" never starts blinking, and the fan never turns off.  When I open it back up, I've got a blank screen and the only thing I can do is forcibly shut off the computer.
[03:40] <rww> kc8pxy: I don't recommend it either, I just know quite a lot from when I used to use it.
[03:40] <candive> Hi all, Help please, hooked pc to 42 inch plasma changed resolution mistake . now i cannot change screen res back too big for my screen. what is command in terminal to change resolution back to 1154x864?
[03:40] <\kira> !fuse
[03:40] <spencer> !gstreamer
[03:40] <spencer> anyone can help me on configuring gstreamer?
[03:41] <savvas> spencer: what do you mean?
[03:41] <Quagmire> I'm not trying to run windows ...I just have a executable text file that I'm trying to get open
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Quagmire,  I installed virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-source vboxgtk and virtualbox-ose-guest-utils
[03:41] <kc8pxy> rww: doesn't that mean that if a user screws the windows, with an unclean shutdown, you will have a read-only ubuntu fs(AT BEST)??
[03:41] <savvas> Quagmire: text files open with Applications > Accessories > Text editor
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: http://paste.ubuntu.com
[03:41] <spencer> the hue is stuck with a value of 0, and cannot be changed so the movies are at best looking like a negative image
[03:41] <earthmeLon> I drag and drop an item onto AWN but it doesnt add the launcher/shortcut.  Any tips?
[03:42] <woli> does anybody own an xps m1530 laptop with intrepid ibex?
[03:42] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: it should be there
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: paste text in there, hit paste, give us the page yu go to
[03:42] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: just pasted it
[03:42] <rww> kc8pxy: I think that might be the case, yes. Not sure, though.
[03:42] <woli> I want to know if it is a 64-bit or 32-bit system..
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: we need the new address you go to
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Quagmire, vbox will have you install windows inside vbox..  Is the file something that I can test for you
[03:42] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: haha, my bad... http://paste.ubuntu.com/101447/
[03:42] <minus18_pundit> how can a back up all my downloaded packges using aptoncd. aptoncd isn't showing all the packages. it just shows a total of 350 mb. but i have download 10 times more then that
[03:42] <savvas> spencer: have you tried with some other players except totem (Movie Player)? Like mplayer ?
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: thanks
[03:42] <rww> woli: what CPU/processor does it have?
[03:43]  * kc8pxy puts another undeline  under "DO NOT DO THIS" next to wubi on his personal checklist.
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[03:43] <dewaard> My performance is really off and I think that is due to graphics issues. While memory use is low (I have several GB of free RAM) and the CPU isn't very busy either the interface is slow and often hangs for a few seconds before an action is performed (like opening a new tab in firefox). Also, video playback is rusty. I have an nvidia 8800 GT with the nvidia-glx-177 driver (I've tried downgrading to 173 but didn't help). I've tried several
[03:43] <dewaard> things so far,  including browsing the logs, but no luck yet. Does anyone have any pointers as to where I could look for a solution?
[03:43] <woli> rww, is Core 2 Duo enough?
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: looks like it uses ndiswrapper
[03:43] <spencer> savvas, anything that uses gstreamer as the video lib will have the same issue.. but if i switch to totem-xine and it works perfect..
[03:43] <rww> woli: Yeah. All Intel Core 2 processors can run either 32-bit or 64-bit; your choice.
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-684611.html
[03:43] <spencer> savvas, did some google search, some people have the issue the other way around.
[03:43] <woli> rww, which do you recommend me?
[03:43] <xavieran> How can I stop ubuntu from doing a disk check at bootup?
[03:43] <mr_sukor> jack sparrow : why my font rendering keep changing itself?
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> xavieran, Not a good idea
[03:44] <savvas> minus18_pundit: Whatever aptoncd shows, that's what you've downloaded (unless you've used the apt-get autoclean or apt-get clean command, which would remove all downloaded cached packages). Unfortunately with the power outage it means some data was lost.
[03:44] <xavieran> Jack_Sparrow:  I disk check when I want to... not when my computer wants to...
[03:44] <savvas> spencer: no idea, sorry :\
[03:44] <rww> woli: 1) How much memory/RAM does the computer have? 2) Do you use it for specialized stuff like scientific computation, high-end video editing, etc?
[03:44] <Quagmire> Jack_Sparrow, you sure can test it out ...its a tiny file
[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> xavieran, It is ill advised to turn it off
[03:44] <dewaard> I think it might not be the driver but the window manager that isn't working properly, but I'm not sure how to prove or disprove that.
[03:45] <woli> rww, it has 4gb ram, and the toughest things I use are 3D games.
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> !ndiswrapper | yoyit2
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Quagmire, Find a place where I can grab it online
[03:45] <rww> xavieran: it's not recommended, but you can turn it off by opening /etc/fstab and changing the last option on each line from 1 to 0.
[03:45] <spencer> savvas, i'll try other gstreamer codec and see if that helps :(
[03:45] <mr_sukor> jack sparrow : why my font rendering keep changing?
[03:45] <kc8pxy> xavieran:  tune2fs -c 0 /dev/of/root, but i second Jack_Sparrow.  it's not wise for most users.
[03:45] <xavieran> Thanks rww
[03:45] <woli> rww, is 64-bit faster?
[03:45] <CaptainMorgan> woli, of course
[03:45] <xavieran> kc8pxy:  I know what I'm doing, don't worry :)
[03:45] <earthmeLon> To add items to AWN, create a launcher somewhere other than the desktop, then drag and drop it onto AWN
[03:45] <woli> What are the cons of using 64-bit?
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> CaptainMorgan: only in certain cases, not always faster
[03:46] <CaptainMorgan> espcially woli if you're using 3d
[03:46] <rww> woli: You probably won't notice much difference. The only thing is that most 32-bit Operating Systems (including Ubuntu by default) can't address more than 3.something GB of memory.
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> woli: encoding music etc is much faster
[03:46] <epoxy> I have a Ubuntu 8.04 box locking up on my a lot lately. It locks and the keyboard lights flash. I have looked in all logs, but there is -nothing- logged that shows failure.  any ideas on what I should look at?
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> kc8pxy, Famous last words
[03:46] <CaptainMorgan> ActionParsnip, of course, why did you feel the need to educate me?
[03:46] <xavieran> :D
[03:46] <woli> rww, how much ram can 64bit systems address?
[03:46] <savvas> woli: you're stuck at blazing speeds, fast programs and very good performance - other than that, maybe your java won't work properly
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> CaptainMorgan: its not automatically faster in all cases
[03:47] <rww> woli: way, way more than you'll ever have.
[03:47] <Greencoat1982> can someone point me to the 64 bit ubuntu room?
[03:47] <CaptainMorgan> ActionParsnip, did I say it was?
[03:47] <rww> Greencoat1982: there isn't a separate 64-bit room. Do you have a support question?
[03:47] <woli> rww, lol.. that sounds pretty evil
[03:47] <savvas> 2^64 bytes :)
[03:47] <rww> woli: it's several thousand GB, I think
[03:47] <kc8pxy> woli:  last time i checked, my amd64 kernel compiles showed 64GB adressable  as an option.
[03:47] <CaptainMorgan> ActionParsnip, he brought up 3D, hence my response
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> CaptainMorgan: (03:45:42) woli: rww, is 64-bit faster?
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> (03:45:55) CaptainMorgan: woli, of course
[03:47] <CaptainMorgan> ActionParsnip, and what is the problem?
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> CaptainMorgan: oic, my bad
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> CaptainMorgan: apologies
[03:48] <CaptainMorgan> ActionParsnip, cheers
[03:48] <PeoplesAdvocate> Ok this is my problem, i keep forgetting on how to add my ssh keys to the authorized_keys file. I have my keys in  username/.ssh/mykey.pub i want to put it in authorized_keys to use when i log in on from remote client. How do I add it to log in  as username@host?
[03:48] <mintsoup> youtube redirects to the french version of the site on this computer running ubuntu and no others on my network.  why is it doing this terribly annoying thing and how can i fix it (I am in the US..)
[03:48] <rohitsensation> hi
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> CaptainMorgan: are you from teh UK
[03:48] <minus18_pundit> savvas: amarok, audacity, etc are installed. llike these, many installed software are not being listed in aptoncd
[03:48] <woli> what, besides java malfunction, is bad about 64bit ubuntu?
[03:48] <Greencoat1982> yes I just upgraded my mother board and cpu toa amd64 athlon 5600 and I want to upgrade my os to 64 bit too, however it won;'t recognize any boot cd's
[03:48] <CaptainMorgan> ActionParsnip, that kind of convo will be in ubuntu-offtopic ;)
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> woli: in my experience, thats it
[03:48] <NEWK2> Hey, I just installed Ubuntu on my brothers laptop but WiFi doesn't work. What's the deal?
[03:48] <candive> Hi all, is there a command in terminal to restore my screen resolution to 1152x864
[03:48] <rww> woli: Flash, Java, Wine, and everything else work fine for me on 64-bit Ubuntu. Some people have problems with them though.
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> CaptainMorgan: on my way
[03:48] <Greencoat1982> I've already made sure my bios is in the right boot order
[03:49] <woli> rww, which is your processor?
[03:49] <Fezzler> s
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> CaptainMorgan: its a qq
[03:49] <Kole> ok.. finally taking the leap to linux... now I want to install it on a laptop... will I have any driver issues (my wifi, graphics card etc)?
[03:49] <rohitsensation> for wifi update your ubuntu
[03:49] <NEWK2> huh?
[03:49] <rww> woli: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
[03:49] <kc8pxy> Greencoat1982:  what does it say when you try a 64-bit installer cd?
[03:49] <NEWK2> It's the latest one!
[03:49] <kitche> Kole: depends on your hardware the laptop has
[03:49] <NEWK2> It's 8.10
[03:49] <rww> !hcl | Kole
[03:49] <woli> rww, that sounds like some sort of satanic apocalyptic thing
[03:49] <woli> rww, how many ghz?
[03:50] <rohitsensation> once u update ur ubuntu it will give u options for non gnu drivers just instal them ur wifi will work
[03:50] <Greencoat1982> nothing the cursorjust blinks and then goes to grub
[03:50] <rww> woli: 2.4Hz per core
[03:50] <NEWK2> Oh!
[03:50] <Kole> thanks rww - so it SHOULD detect automaticly though?
[03:50] <NEWK2> Bad ass!
[03:50] <CaptainMorgan> Kole, time will tell... but how will you know if you don't take the plunge? But before doing so, review the HCL
[03:50] <NEWK2> Thanks
[03:50] <NEWK2> I'll try that
[03:50] <rww> Kole: depends on your hardware
[03:50] <FloodBot1> NEWK2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:50] <Kole> ok
[03:50] <kitche> NEWK2: probably the wifi is not supported fully if at all
[03:50] <CaptainMorgan> !HCL | Kole
[03:50] <unavailable> rww, is that anything like an optigigadualcorepro?
[03:50] <savvas> minus18_pundit: as said, with the power outage some data was probably lost. It's not my nor your fault. If you want to downlaod them again, just purge the installed packages and reinstall
[03:50] <kc8pxy> Greencoat1982:  can you force it int eh bootorder to NOT boot, unless from cd?
[03:50] <rohitsensation> na all wifi are supported
[03:50] <Kole> I just know very little about linux... other then what ive done on my eeepc
[03:50] <rohitsensation> ur must be  a broadcom wifi harware
[03:50] <kitche> CaptainMorgan: no need to give him that twice now :)
[03:50] <Greencoat1982> do you mean with bios?
[03:51] <rohitsensation> its definately supported i'm currently using it
[03:51] <Kole> im kind of excited and frighteend at the same time :P
[03:51] <CaptainMorgan> kitche, ? that was a courtesy
[03:51] <Greencoat1982> I have the boot order set to the dvd rom
[03:51] <rww> Kole: I'd recommend grabbing an Ubuntu LiveCD and booting from it. If it works on there, it should work after you install it.
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !training > Quagmire
[03:51] <woli> Kole, thats just about normal.
[03:51] <Kole> Id rather take the full plunge
[03:51] <kitche> CaptainMorgan: just that was given a few minutes before you did it just don't want to scare people away
[03:51] <Kole> its what i do
[03:51] <Greencoat1982> ah I see what you mean I';ll go try and be back in a few mniutes
[03:51] <woli> Kole, you might wanna learn right about partitioning
[03:51] <CaptainMorgan> kitche, didn't see that.. oops
[03:52] <Kole> i know partitioning
[03:52] <yoyit2> Isusb is for 8.10 right?? so what is it for 8.04????????????????????/
[03:52] <PeoplesAdvocate> Ok this is my problem, i keep forgetting on how to add my ssh keys to the authorized_keys file. I have my keys in  username/.ssh/mykey.pub i want to put it in authorized_keys to use when i log in on from remote client. How do I add it to log in  as username@host?
[03:52] <Kole> thats not a problem
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> Kole: if its not natively supported you can use ndiswrapper + xp driver
[03:52] <woli> Kole, I can give you council, if you need.
[03:52] <CaptainMorgan> kitche, given to him?
[03:52] <unavailable> kole   just wait till you decide to go to #ubuntu+1 ...
[03:52] <woli> !who | Kole
[03:52] <CaptainMorgan> kitche, oops :)
[03:52] <rohitsensation> ndiswrapper is complicated
[03:52] <Kole> have to partition to use windows ;)
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: same thing, its the same in all *nix's
[03:52] <luckyone> I am having issues with my HD display "filling the entire screen", there are black bars around my desktop on my display
[03:52] <daw> !tab
[03:53] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: cuz it says "comand not found"
[03:53] <unavailable> kole I just had to battle with a homebuilt nvidia-glx-177 that uninstalled xorg and wouldnt let me apt-get remove it
[03:53] <mr_sukor> captain : before this i'm using samsung printer after that i'm using hp laserjet
[03:53] <mr_sukor> but the hp wont work as samsung
[03:53] <mr_sukor> any idea?
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: lsusb (ell ess you ess bee)
[03:53] <daw> minor irritation -- my ubuntu splash screen disappears and I get a string of information about what services are being started up. Is this normal or did I break something?
[03:53] <Kole> so how much of a partition should i give ubuntu?
[03:53] <CaptainMorgan> sorry.. mr_sukor are you talking to me? I don't see a captain listed...
[03:53] <rohitsensation> norml
[03:54] <mr_sukor> yes captain
[03:54] <rww> !tab | mr_sukor
[03:54] <Kole> im asking anyone in general :)
[03:54] <mr_sukor> CaptainMorgan: yes
[03:54] <CaptainMorgan> mr_sukor, please use tab complete if your client allows it... and secondly I missed your original question, please repeat(with tab completion :))
[03:54] <unavailable> kole give it what you are comfortable with.
[03:54] <CaptainMorgan> mr_sukor, thanks
[03:54] <Kole> whats the min it needs?
[03:54] <yoyit2> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessBroadcastSystem ActionParsnip
[03:54] <kitche> daw: can be normal if you press a button during bootup but yes that information it shows you is what linux really looks like when booting
[03:54] <unavailable> kole but if you're not using vista to partition it, I would suggest defragging in windows
[03:54] <unavailable> before
[03:54] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: but some of it i dont get
[03:54] <mr_sukor> CaptainMorgan: so can i solve that?
[03:55] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip:
[03:55] <minus18_pundit> savvas: is there anyother way to back up installed software? i want to include the codecs, the drivers.
[03:55] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip:  sudo iwconfig ath0 essid "my network" mode Master enc off
[03:55] <Kole> Im gonna partition as I format
[03:55] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip:  ath0 doesnt wotk
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: if you run the first command you will reduce security on your system
[03:55] <rww> Kole: 4GB, including swap space. I'd recommend at least 8GB, plus space for any other stuff you know you'll need space for (music, etc.)
[03:55] <unavailable> kole aah.  i gave mine 20
[03:55] <CaptainMorgan> mr_sukor, please re-ask or rephrase the original question - with as much detail in one line as is permissible
[03:55] <savvas> Kole: 8GB at least, you'll be more than fine with 15GB root ("/"), 2GB swap and the rest to your /home
[03:55] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: if you havent configured the wifi you won't have an ath0
[03:55] <Kole> what if I just give it everything?
[03:56] <Kole> full 160 gig?
[03:56] <mr_sukor> CaptainMorgan: my printer didnt work after i change to the new printer
[03:56] <unavailable> kole why not??
[03:56] <yoyit2> ActionParsnip: k.... REALLY new to ubuntu, but how do i get this to work?? i really need a walk through
[03:56] <unavailable> kole  if you dont care about windows
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: for your usb adapter you need to use ndiswrapper + the xp32 or XP64 driver
[03:56] <Kole> nope
[03:56] <rww> Kole: that would work too. Mine has 237GB right now and is using about 4% of it
[03:56] <PeoplesAdvocate> Kole:you can but what if you want to reinstall the os? you will lose all your home stuff
[03:56] <Kole> perfect
[03:56] <Kole> more space for music and movies
[03:56] <unavailable> hmm.
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[03:57] <unavailable> kole you may wish to look in to seperating / and /home
[03:57] <Kole> Ive been using this as a work/home computer... but screw it, im gonna make it an only home computer and use the comp they give me at work
[03:57] <CaptainMorgan> mr_sukor, we're going to need a little more detail than that.. but being vague in the answering, maybe check to see if it's set to default.. and by "didn't work" what didn't actually work? did it not print? did it not power on? etc
[03:57] <CaptainMorgan> !detail
[03:57] <CaptainMorgan> ugh
[03:57] <Ademan> egad, my brand new lenovo has a stuck pixel...
[03:57] <akio> CaptainMorgan: try this: non-standard mode setting for a framebuffer console (1024x600) on a 945gm - I have run gtf and cvt but I don't know where that information is useful. need guidance!
[03:58]  * unavailable wonders if anyone can point out the goods of seperating / and /home 
[03:58] <unavailable> for kole
[03:58] <mr_sukor> CaptainMorgan: before this i'm using samsung, and its work perfectly
[03:58] <PeoplesAdvocate> Kole:if you have the whole hard drive this is what i did (/boot, /, /home, swap
[03:58]  * CaptainMorgan is getting strange interference in here...
[03:58] <mr_sukor> CaptainMorgan: then i buy a new one, HP laser jet
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> unavailable: create and format a partition, add its line to /etc/fstab to mount it as /home
[03:58] <CaptainMorgan> akio, huh?
[03:58] <CaptainMorgan> akio, why do I need to try that/
[03:59] <mr_sukor> CaptainMorgan: but this laser jet wont print anything
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> unavailable: then copy the data over to the partition for the existing users
[03:59] <bd0117792> having /home on a separate partition is good if you re-install...it keeps your settings and everything
[03:59] <akio> CaptainMorgan: you said to put as much info into one line as possible, i tried
[03:59] <rohitsensation> which laser jet do u have
[03:59] <CaptainMorgan> mr_sukor, so go back to samsung if that's your fancy... does the HP get recognized at least?
[03:59] <Kole> oh i forgot to ask
[03:59] <mr_sukor> CaptainMorgan: i've set it to defaut and insert the correct driver.. do u have any idea?
[03:59] <savvas> mr_sukor: HP model and number?
[03:59] <Kole> how much script work is involved with ubuntu... or is it totally graphical?
[03:59] <akio> CaptainMorgan: I am trying to get textmode to work on a 1024x600 screen
[03:59] <minus18_pundit>  is there anyother way other then aptoncd to back up installed software? i want to include the codecs, the drivers.
[04:00] <CaptainMorgan> akio, but I don't recall talking with you, kindly.. so I'm not sure as to your problem
[04:00] <mr_sukor> CaptainMorgan: yes it recognize as well
[04:00] <unavailable> kole depends on what you use it for.
[04:00] <CaptainMorgan> akio, that's an area I'm not familiar with, but I'm sure someone else will help you ;)
[04:00] <mr_sukor> savvas: hp laser jet 1020
[04:00] <Kole> well im a writer ( commercials etc) I do web design and want to use it for music and videos
[04:00] <unavailable> kole mostly graphical but can get into the CLI
[04:00] <unavailable> kole and plus the CLI is fun
[04:00] <CaptainMorgan> mr_sukor, so it's recognized.. did you check the cabling?
[04:00] <unavailable> !bash
[04:01] <mr_sukor> CaptainMorgan: yes i've check it all
[04:01] <akio> CaptainMorgan: who would you suggest?
[04:01] <jp_sf> !search help
[04:01] <Dracie_> anyone here use mobileme?
[04:01] <CaptainMorgan> akio, repeat the original question every 5-10 minutes, since this channel moves fast - but not shorter than that
[04:01] <savvas> mr_sukor: is it connected on your machine through USB?
[04:01] <jp_sf> !search frostfire
[04:01] <CaptainMorgan> maybe even 15 minutes
[04:01] <Kole> Im kind of sad that I wont be able to use chrome anymore :P
[04:01] <akio> ubottu: framebuffer
[04:01] <CaptainMorgan> depending on movement
[04:02] <mr_sukor> savvas: yes by USB
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> !gnutella | jp_sf
[04:02] <kitche> Kole: sure you would be able to but no clue why you would want to anyways
[04:02] <Kole> well its only windows right now
[04:02] <unavailable> !medibuntu | kole
[04:02] <Kole> ill just be happy with firefox
[04:02] <mr_sukor> savvas: i use the same way as i connect the samsung before
[04:02] <savvas> mr_sukor: your printer is supported: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/laserjet/hp_laserjet_1020.html - go to Ubuntu menu Applications > Accessories > Terminal and execute: sudo hp-setup
[04:03] <Detra> Hey ... I have on this computer installed anthy direct (japanese input) and firefox ... But suddenly yesterday, everytime I turn on anthy, firefox freezes ... It has never done that till now ... any has an idea why and how to fix it ?
[04:03] <savvas> mr_sukor: It will ask you for your password, type it there and press Enter
[04:03] <unavailable> kole  for multimedia applications you may wish to see medibuntu and  the like
[04:03] <techsupport> how can i install man package ?
[04:03] <techsupport> to read manuals
[04:03] <savvas> mr_sukor: then allow it to download from the internet an add-on or firmware.. whatever it calls it, that should fix it
[04:03] <mosno> what is default in ubuntu: beagle or tracker?
[04:03] <Kole> well i assume ubuntu comes with an mp3 and basic video player?
[04:04] <unavailable> yah.
[04:04] <mr_sukor> savvas: ok thanks :)
[04:04] <daw> Kole actually, as I just found out, it does not. mp3 is a restricted format so you have install the codecs, they aren't there by default
[04:04] <Detra> Hey ... I have on this computer installed anthy direct (japanese input) and firefox ... But suddenly yesterday, everytime I turn on anthy, firefox freezes ... It has never done that till now ... any has an idea why and how to fix it ?
[04:04] <techsupport> how can i update ubuntu server 8.10?
[04:04] <savvas> mr_sukor: np :)
[04:04] <Kole> dang
[04:04] <Kole> codec easy to find?
[04:05] <unavailable> hey techsupport you ever figure out that problem with the node not seeing a specific share?
[04:05] <daw> Kole sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:05] <savvas> Kole: Applications > Add/remove... > Show "all AVAILABLE applications" > Search: ubuntu restricted extras
[04:05] <techsupport> unavailable, nope
[04:06] <unavailable> techsupport: well i still havent figured out how to get my vista to see my xp either...  ubuntu sees it fine though
[04:06] <vassler> Hello, Just installed ubuntu 8.10, cannot get internet connection
[04:06] <eross> does anyone know about using QUOTE SITE NOSTRIP for FTP, please PM me
[04:06] <mlopezqc> kole: easier than easy, just try to play something with a codec you dont have and ubuntu will search it for u
[04:06] <Kole> daw - and thats it?
[04:06] <savvas> Kole: tick the checkbox next to it and apply changes, that should provide you with enough restricted stuff to view/listen to your media :)
[04:06] <Kole> why is it restricted?
[04:06] <NEWK2> ok, now what exactly do I have to do again?
[04:06] <vassler> Any idea ideas?
[04:06] <unavailable> Kole: not opensource
[04:06] <daw> Kole -- it is not a true free format
[04:06] <techsupport> unavailable, my vista sees my xp fine
[04:06] <darkham> some mpd user?
[04:06] <nitrohax> hello can anyone help me with a dvd player question?
[04:06] <techsupport> unavailable, i didnt have to do anything
[04:07] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know how to run a " .run " file?
[04:07] <mlopezqc> vassler: how do you normally connect?
[04:07] <unavailable> techsupport: mine did at one time, but then i had to lock down my pc's
[04:07] <spasticteapot> I downloaded Enemy Territory, and don't know what to do with what I downloaded.
[04:07] <Kole> ohhh ok
[04:07] <unavailable> techsupport: guess i did too good of a job huh?
[04:07] <savvas> Kole: because it's restricted, no source and patent protected/copyrighted/whatever. :)
[04:07] <daw> Kole - the explanation is found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/philosophy
[04:07] <Detra> Hey ... I have on this computer installed anthy direct (japanese input) and firefox ... But suddenly yesterday, everytime I turn on anthy, firefox freezes ... It has never done that till now ... any has an idea why and how to fix it ?
[04:08]  * spikebike wonders if he will regret migrating from ubuntu 32bit desktop to ubuntu 64bit desktop
[04:08] <spikebike> so far the java plugin has been the most painful
[04:08] <mr_sukor> savvas: my printer processing but it wont print
[04:08] <NEWK2> ok, I just installed Ubuntu but wifi doesn't work
[04:08] <Kole> is there a good rocket dock like program for ubuntu?
[04:09] <savvas> spikebike: which one? the sun java plugin from Applications > Add/Remove... works fine :)
[04:09] <NEWK2> someone said something about updating it, but what exactly do I do?
[04:09] <spikebike> savvas for 64 bit?
[04:09] <jp_sf> Kole: most of the MP3 player are unlicensed  and infringing different patents
[04:09] <savvas> spikebike: er.. no :p but it might work
[04:09] <Kole> rocket dock isint mp3
[04:09] <Detra> Hey ... I have on this computer installed anthy direct (japanese input) and firefox ... But suddenly yesterday, everytime I turn on anthy, firefox freezes ... It has never done that till now ... any has an idea why and how to fix it ?

[04:10] <savvas> mr_sukor: shut down your printer - then shut down your computer. Power on your printer and power on your computer. Check it then.

[04:10] <Detra> Hey ... I have on this computer installed anthy direct (japanese input) and firefox ... But suddenly yesterday, everytime I turn on anthy, firefox freezes ... It has never done that till now ... any has an idea why and how to fix it ?
[04:10] <daw> NEWK2 go to System->Update Manager and get all the current updates installed
[04:11] <NEWK2> that's it?
[04:11] <eross> spikebike - 64bit is looking better and better, my only complaint is freebasic doesn't compile 64bit code, and if you want to develop in 32bit it's best to have a 32bit partition
[04:11] <daw> NEWK2 sorry System->Administration->Update Manager
[04:11] <NEWK2> that's actually what i was gonna try
[04:11] <mr_sukor> savvas: warning: hp-testpage should not be run as root.

[04:28] <brianherman> kc8pxy are u a ham radio opperator
[04:28] <rww> albech: just create the file. The only reason why there are multiple files in /etc/modprobe.d is to make things easier for the package manager
[04:28] <histo> Joeseph, nothing is safe
[04:28] <pdtpatri3k> yeah until you lose the flash drive

[04:28] <techsupport> how do i delete a user in terminal

[04:29] <pdtpatri3k> techsupport userdel

[04:31] <rww> Joeseph: just the computer you used it in. In general, you shouldn't use your private key on any computer you don't trust
[04:31] <mlopezqc> joeseph: if you are going to put your private key on a Flash drive you must be carefull about who can use it

[04:34] <pyrak> Cpudan80, well, i'm not sure if this value only is used by the install script, or if its used by the program itself later
[04:34] <pdtpatri3k> techsupport if not then user useradd to add the users and then to give the user root permissions then you would add them to the /etc/sudoers file

[04:34] <buckydent> not that i know of.  rumors its in developent

[04:35] <mauricio_> vanden: did you check linuxprinting.org?
[04:35] <daw> thanks niriven
[04:35] <savvas> vanden: go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal and execute: sudo hp-setup
[04:35] <unavailable> pyrak: i didnt.....
[04:35] <Cpudan80> pyrak: nah it looks like you only need it for the install
[04:35] <pyrak> it's very possible that i don't need to actually do anything for step 1, i guess
[04:35] <pyrak> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[04:35] <Cpudan80> pyrak: so you would just do ...
[04:35] <vanden> mauricio_: no, just the community docs and googling ubuntu + printer model. Will try
[04:35] <pyrak> unavailable, ^^that was my output
[04:35] <savvas> vanden: it will ask for your password, you type it in and press enter, and follow the intructions
[04:36] <Cpudan80> export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/GHC
[04:36] <niriven> daw, acutally it look slike theres a moonlight 2.0
[04:36] <techsupport> when i do useradd someuser , it snot even prompting to specify password for new user
[04:36] <Cpudan80> Do NOT forget $PATH in there!!!
[04:36] <Cpudan80> That is very important!!!

[04:36] <pyrak> Cpudan80, ok, trying now
[04:36] <pdtpatri3k> techsupport when you do useradd .. there are many options that go with it .. type man useradd at the terminal to see a manual of how to use it
[04:36] <niriven> daw, so, answer is yes :)
[04:37] <vanden> savvas: Thanks. Didn't use hp-setup on the last install, but I'll give it a go.
[04:37] <droopsta915> why does rhythmbox music player, play my albums from last to first? Can I fix this?
[04:37] <pdtpatri3k> and to have it prompt for a password you would type password <username>
[04:37] <brianherman> wow
[04:37] <pyrak> Cpudan80, i believe the path i want to add is /usr/lib64/ghc-6.8.2, does that look right to you?
[04:37] <brianherman> thats weird
[04:37] <daw> niriven, i'm astounded, but happy :)
[04:37] <savvas> vanden: a lot of things changed since 7.10 :)
[04:37] <unavailable> kc8pxy: it was over 4 months ago that I had it working... my memory is shot because i also finished a sem at college.
[04:37] <Cpudan80> pyrak: ummm /usr/lib/ is already in your path I think
[04:38] <Cpudan80> pyrak: if you just install ghc from the repos, it should be in your path
[04:38] <savvas> vanden: also, when you're done execute this command (one line): sudo adduser $USER lp; sudo adduser $USER lpadmin
[04:38] <Cpudan80> pyrak: Its in the repositories
[04:38] <Cpudan80> pyrak: sudo apt-get install ghc
[04:38] <pyrak> Cpudan80, yes, that's what i did
[04:38] <savvas> vanden: then power off your printer, power off your computer and then power them on again. it should work now
[04:38] <niriven> daw, Wait, no, haha, 1.0 only. Sorry about that, heres the link. http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/
[04:38] <Cpudan80> pyrak: then its in your path already
[04:38] <pyrak> Cpudan80, ok, so it looks like i don't need to do anything for step one?
[04:38] <vanden> savvas: No doubt. :-)   hp-setup is failing to detect the printer. It was like that with system-config-printer and the cups web interface, too.
[04:38] <niriven> daw, 2.0 is in progress (to support silverlight 2.0).
[04:39] <Cpudan80> pyrak: yes
[04:39] <Cpudan80> pyrak: you should be good
[04:39] <daw> niriven my heart is crushed . . . but thanks for the link and info! :)
[04:39] <savvas> vanden: 5L you said right? is it connected through USB or LPT (whatever is called that serial port)?
[04:39] <konzept> hey i need help with my drivers. I have a webcam that i have no idea how to get the drivers for.... its an "in-sight webcam ic455c"
[04:40] <niriven> daw, only a matter of time, 2.0 is alpha stages.
[04:40] <vanden> savvas: LJ 5MP. LPT port. (It is probably older than USB printers ;-)
[04:40] <Cpudan80> konzept: plug it in - it'll prob work
[04:40] <Guest65382> may someone guide me with DHCP issue
[04:40] <pyrak> Cpudan80, hm, actually it looks like some problem has been miraculously solved.  perhaps the opengl package that i had installed needed a hibernate to kick in or something
[04:40] <Cpudan80> woohoo DHCP!
[04:40] <pyrak> thanks for all the help, Cpudan80
[04:40] <Cpudan80> np pyrak

[04:41] <Guest65382> just intalled xubuntu 8.10 and no net connection
[04:41] <savvas> vanden: well, it should be supported: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/laserjet/hp_laserjet_5mp.html
[04:41] <Cpudan80> Guest65382: how do you know its a dhcp issue?
[04:41] <unavailable> kc8pxy: have you tried http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=madwifi-ng
[04:41] <Guest65382> during install there was a dhcp issue that i just bypassed
[04:42] <vanden> savvas: Yeah, I figured it would be. I managed to get it going back with one of th 6.n releases. Worked fine with 7.04 and 7.10. :-(
[04:42] <compengi> what's the way to restrict user UIDs being exposed to others? 'top' and 'ps' can be restricted on BSD systems by passing '0' to 'security.bsd.see_other_uids' in src/etc/sysctl.conf. what can be done for linux?
[04:42] <Guest65382> i dont know for sure it is dhcp
[04:42] <pyrak> Cpudan80, pm
[04:42] <Cpudan80> pyrak: go ahead
[04:42] <Cpudan80> Guest65382: open a terminal, type dhclient
[04:43] <savvas> vanden: two suggestions: 1) Check your bios for serial port settings, it should be bi-directional 2) check your cables, one by one, maybe you missed something, or a pin is broken.. stuff like that happen :)
[04:43] <kc8pxy> unavailable: that doesn't seem to be an issue yet   it's missing a command, it seems.
[04:43] <Guest65382> unknown hard ware address type 801
[04:43] <techsupport> how can i archive a directory in terminal ?
[04:44] <Guest65382> cant create /var/lib/dhcp3.......................
[04:44] <pdtpatri3k> techsupport use tar to archive
[04:44] <Cpudan80> hmm
[04:44] <savvas> techsupport: shouldn't you be answering questions instead of asking? your nickname says techsupport :)
[04:44] <Cpudan80> Guest65382: sudo dhclient
[04:44] <Cpudan80> sorry
[04:44] <Laderius> anyone familiur with ktorrent web ui, ive set it up but dunno how to connect
[04:44] <Cpudan80> forgot that it needs root
[04:44] <vanden> savvas: The cable check I will try for sure. I don't know that I know how to check for bidirectional serial port settings. But, since it is the same box with the same bios as worked with 7.10, that rules that out, no?
[04:44] <epoxy> techsuperfreak, tar -cf foo.tar /path/to/stuff  ... or tar -czf foo.tar.gz /path/to/stuff
[04:45] <Guest65382> now it says password for (myusername)
[04:45] <wesouler> anybody use piwik?
[04:45] <pdtpatri3k> techsupport just type man tar ... you will get a better idea of how its used
[04:45] <vanden> savvas: Oh, and it is a parrallel not serial port interface.
[04:45] <Guest65382> do i type in my password?
[04:46] <Cpudan80> yes
[04:46] <savvas> vanden: correct, I tend to forget those stuff, as I don't use them anymore - but I've set up a laserjet 5L in november :)
[04:47] <savvas> Guest65382: you type it in and press Enter
[04:47] <techsupport> pdtpatri3k, so how can i archive a directory with all its subdirectories ? just use tar /directory ?
[04:47] <Guest65382> ok
[04:47] <Guest65382> send packet: network is down
[04:47] <TriBeCa99> anyone familiar with slax? i need it to get my ubuntu install working properly (don't ask) and slax is hanging during boot

[04:48] <Laderius>  ktorrent webui failed to launch php executable? any help
[04:48] <Cpudan80> techsupport: tar -cvf myTarFile.tar /dir/to/tar
[04:48] <Guest65382> No DHCPOFFERS received
[04:48] <wesouler> -_-!
[04:48] <vanden> savvas: Well, thanks for the help. I thought it might be the cables. I was hoping to get something obvious I'd not tried. But, hp-setup seems useful. Ciao!
[04:48] <savvas> techsupport: http://www.google.com/search?q=how%20to%20archive%20tar%20directory http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/5/create-a-tar-archive-of-a-directory/  http://www.cs.duke.edu/~ola/courses/programming/tar.html
[04:48] <pdtpatri3k> techsupport to archive you would use something like tar -cfz filename.tar.gz /etc/apt
[04:48] <Guest65382> no working leases in persistant database - sleeping
[04:49] <Cpudan80> Guest65382: your DHCP server is ... not working
[04:49] <hadriansdeath> I cannot increase my screen resolution over 800*600
[04:49] <Laderius> I suppose my setup is a little different than others as I am not mainly using KDE but am using Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) 64 bit desktop edition.
[04:49] <Laderius> The webui seems to load up the login screen but after I login, no matter what port I use, it fails with.
[04:49] <Laderius> HTTP/1.1 Internal Server Error
[04:49] <Laderius> Failed to launch PHP executable !
[04:49] <Laderius> I grabbed Ktorrent from the Ubuntu Add/Remove programs repository and am using version 3.1.2. Guess I've stuck with Ktorrent because it's the best torrent client that I have found so far...would love to have a nice webui like the windows uTorrent. Any help is appreciated.
[04:49] <FloodBot1> Laderius: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:49] <pdtpatri3k> techsupport i havent used tar in a while so you might be better off using "man tar" as they have plenty of examples
[04:49] <Dexi> holy crap
[04:49] <konzept> can i use windows drivers for my webcam? and how
[04:49] <Laderius> ouch
[04:49] <Cpudan80> konzept: no.... just plug it in - it should work
[04:49] <Guest65382> what is eth0?
[04:49] <eseven73> Laderius: deluge-torrent is nice
[04:49] <Cpudan80> konzept: its probably supported

[04:50] <anthony> I just installed ubuntu yesterday =D
[04:50] <eseven73> Laderius: not sure really
[04:50] <Guest65382> b/c i dont think it was
[04:51] <TriBeCa99> anyone familiar with slax? i need it to get my ubuntu install working properly (don't ask) and slax is hanging during boot
[04:51] <anthony> totally ditched windows

[04:51] <Laderius> eseven73, aye however my mobile device is an ipod touch :P
[04:51] <alex-82> I have Ubuntu (gnome), is it possible to replace nautilus as the default file-manager? I am wondering if I can completely remove nautilus from the system.
[04:52] <eseven73> so
[04:52] <Laderius> eseven73, ipods dont allow the use of oprea
[04:52] <eseven73> oh nvm i forgot how restrictive apple is they prolly dont have a Opera heh
[04:52] <anthony> my mobile device is an ipod touch as well
[04:52] <anu> are there mathematic illustration drawing tools ?
[04:52] <Guest65382> is my Network Card perhaps ported wrongly?
[04:52] <supernoob> i'm trying to set up a local server so I can play around with a website i'm setting up
[04:53] <supernoob> i've isntalled lamp-server and phpmyadmin
[04:53] <Cpudan80> Guest65382: possibly, is it something weird?
[04:53] <supernoob> but i can't make lampserver activate
[04:53] <anu> are there mathematic illustration drawing tools ?
[04:53] <Cpudan80> supernoob: you dont need to make it
[04:53] <supernoob> i go to localhost/phpmyadmin and get a 404
[04:53] <kholerabbi> can I have two language spellchecks installed for ubuntu (i.e german and english words)??
[04:53] <TriBeCa99> ok i'm starting to go crazy here, and i haven't gotten a response to my last few questions
[04:53] <Cpudan80> supernoob: what happens when you go to http://localhost
[04:53] <woli> can I run a live session from a usb drive?
[04:53] <sabot> K, here's the deal, my installation froze halfway, so I had to restart, now I have this dead 20gb partition with a failed ubuntu installation on it, but I cant get my installer to simply re-install onto there, how do I do that
[04:54] <supernoob> "it works!"
[04:54] <TriBeCa99> anyone knowledgeable willing to chat with me in PM to help work out my problem?
[04:54] <TriBeCa99> i think there's a few ways to solve it, i just keep running into a wall no matter which route i try
[04:54] <supernoob> oh you know what? i think i need to give phpmyadmin the root password for mysql
[04:54] <supernoob> how do i do that?
[04:54] <Cpudan80> supernoob: no you dont
[04:54] <TriBeCa99> all i'm try to do is get ubuntu up and running on a software RAID10 partition
[04:54] <alex-82> sabot: why not reformat that partition?
[04:54] <Cpudan80> supernoob: err maybe you do.... anyway - fix the 404 first
[04:54] <Guest65382> the DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 [then there were different intervals such as 20,13,1....after which the send packet said network is down
[04:54] <Cpudan80> supernoob: hold on
[04:55] <sabot> alex-82, reformat to what?
[04:55] <Dexi> ugh. i hate when im helping someone and they dont use !who and i never know they said anything, and they leave because they think theyre being ignored
[04:55] <CheesyWeasel> sometimes i cant hear mp3s through any program or audio from an mp4 file. i restart and its fixed but it happens really often
[04:55] <supernoob> cpudan80: "Not Found. The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server."
[04:55] <anthony> !who
[04:55] <anthony> lol
[04:55] <MoLE_> !who
[04:56] <MoLE_> !tab
[04:56] <abstortedminds> what's a good gui app for converting an avi to a dvd iso so I can burn it
[04:56] <alex-82> sabot: if you're installing from the CD then you have the option to specify the partitions. If you do so then you will wipe the disk, or part of the disk. So you would lose your partial installation and start from scratch
[04:56] <sabot> I have a windows installation partition that I cannot lose
[04:56] <FiReSTaRT> is there anyone for whom the 177 nvidia driver didn't fix the suspend issue?
[04:56] <MoLE_> I'm having difficulty getting a fully functioning gwibber going on a hardy system, anyone here successfully running it?
[04:56] <FiReSTaRT> i mean the brand spankin new driver update
[04:56] <anthony> i have a question, anyone willing to help me one on one? Its about KDE 4.1 On Ubuntu 8.10
[04:56] <Cpudan80> supernoob: Open a terminal and type the following: cd /var/www; ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin phpmyadmin
[04:56] <CheesyWeasel> sometimes i cant hear mp3s through any program or audio from an mp4 file. i restart and its fixed but it happens really often
[04:56] <Guest65382> upon plugging my internet cable in it tries to acquire network address to no avail then says disconnected from network
[04:57] <Cpudan80> supernoob: sorry ehh
[04:57] <alves_rn> is anyone using a SATA I HD?
[04:57] <Cpudan80> supernoob: Open a terminal and type the following: cd /var/www; sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin phpmyadmin
[04:57] <FiReSTaRT> CheesyWeasel : sometimes the browser may mess up your sound.. try closing the browser and see if that fixes it
[04:57] <eseven73> speaking of !Tab I updated it last night can an op please look into that when/if they get a chance? :)
[04:57] <sabot> alex-82: If I simply delete the partition and have it as free space, can I install onto that?
[04:57] <CheesyWeasel> FiReSTaRT: browsers not open
[04:58] <FiReSTaRT> CheesyWeasel: worth a shot.. fixed the problem for me.. also close every app that plays sound
[04:58] <alex-82> sabot:  yes because the ubuntu install will reformat it anyway. There are a number of possible formats but ext3 is the most common.
[04:58] <woli> can I get assistance with booting a live session from a usb?
[04:58] <Guest65382> How can I configure my eth0 port properly?
[04:58] <CheesyWeasel> FiReSTaRT: thats not it.
[04:58] <sabot> alex-82: Okay, Im going to delete it, then go through the installation and make sure I have the correct settings, I need to select manual partition Im guessing
[04:59] <CheesyWeasel> what packages should i have from synaptic to ensure proper mp3 playback?
[04:59] <CheesyWeasel> !mp3
[04:59] <savvas> CheesyWeasel: ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:59] <alves_rn> My sata I hd is writinting at ~ 40MB/s.  Is this good?
[04:59] <eseven73> why does it take an hour to unzip a 7zip file? (granted its 1.5 meg file but still) this is just painfully slow
[04:59] <TaiNTeD_RaGE> People I cant shut down my comp or open terminal or anything it all just goes white, I cant shut down by clicking power nothing comes up, I tried ctrl + alt + delete no luck
[05:00] <Cpudan80> TaiNTeD_RaGE: CTRL+ALT+BCKSPC
[05:00] <tripps> ok my sound completely disappeared for no apparent reason. Was listening to music on audacious, tried to play a youtube video, and nothing. No sound anywhere. No system sounds, mp3, anything. Ideas?
[05:00] <alex-82> Guest65382: type cat /etc/network/interfaces in the terminal, then take a look at what it tells you
[05:00] <Cpudan80> Should fix it
[05:00] <CheesyWeasel> savvas: thanks. installing now.
[05:00] <supernoob> cpudan80: ok, i'm at /var/www$
[05:00] <supernoob> now what
[05:00] <CheesyWeasel> savvas: hopefully this will do it
[05:00] <alex-82> Guest65382: the main settings are in that file, the dns settings are in /etc/resolv.conf
[05:00] <Cpudan80> supernoob: you typed that command?
[05:00] <Cpudan80> and it asked for your password?
[05:00] <supernoob> yup
[05:00] <supernoob> yup
[05:00] <Cpudan80> so now you should be able to go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin
[05:01] <savvas> CheesyWeasel: usually it does :) if not, install also: gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[05:01] <LogicalDash> I installed Tor and its suggested packages, anon-proxy and mixmailer. Now apt-get is trying to send all of its requests through Localhost port 4001. How do I make it stop?
[05:01] <Guest65382> auto lo
[05:01] <CheesyWeasel> savvas: that did it.
[05:01] <Guest65382> iface lo inet loopback
[05:01] <CheesyWeasel> savvas: thanks a bunch
[05:01] <savvas> np ;)
[05:01] <LogicalDash> I have since uninstalled all this stuff...
[05:01] <savvas> yay, I got in a quit message :p
[05:02] <sabot> alex-82, im at the partition portion of the installation, using guided (automatic) just frees some of my windows partition and still has 17gbs of unused space, I want to use the unused space, do I need to format the freespace onto its own ext3 partition (Im being detailed because I cannot screw this up)
[05:02] <supernoob> cpudan80: i don't know if this is normal or not...when i reload the webpage it pprompts me to dl a file called "default"
[05:02] <hadriansdeath> How do I reconfigure xorg to display 1024*1280 resolution, I installed ubuntu using wubi
[05:02] <titefuzz> oh yeah
[05:02] <titefuzz> that reminds me
[05:03] <Cpudan80> supernoob: this is why the lamp package needs to be taken offline
[05:03] <Cpudan80> supernoob: hang on
[05:03] <ra21vi> how do i change into another opened channel in irssi
[05:03] <alex-82> sabot: I can't tell you exactly what to do because I can't see exactly what you are looking at. But yes, if you can reformat the free space that would be the right thing
[05:03] <alex-82> sabot: your windows install is isolated from the free space
[05:03] <sabot> yeah
[05:03] <Guest65382> secondary question: anyone think Xubuntu 8.10 alt will run better on 2002 gateway box 1.8ghz 377RAM vs. Ubuntu 5.10 (which is where i am coming to you from :-)
[05:03] <supernoob> cpudan80: thanks for the help. mind if we move to PM? my connection kicks in and out, and i'm worried your messages will get buried
[05:03] <dr_willis> ra21vi,  the irssi homepage has a quick start guide.. I belive ya can use alt-1 through alt-#
[05:03] <ra21vi> i mean how to move better opened room in irssi
[05:04] <pmhy> any tools for ext3 file recovery on a disk img whose partition table has been lost and the disk partially overwritten?
[05:04] <tripps> no sound from flash sites like pandora either. is there a way to restart the sound system or something?
[05:04] <ra21vi> dr_willis: uh,i tried that before, it switches between gnome-terminal's tabs
[05:04] <savvas> Guest65382: probably yes, xubuntu will use much less resources
[05:04] <ra21vi> means i will have to be in single tab to irrsi get that event
[05:04] <Cpudan80> supernoob: sure - fire away
[05:05] <sabot> alex-82: I think this is the last thing, when creating the partition, what do I select as "mount-point"?
[05:05] <Guest65382> 2002 BOX is my only connectable comp until i get this DHCP fixed on my HP DV6000 laptop
[05:05] <dr_willis> ra21vi,  try running irssi in a normal xterm perhaps.. or rxvt . or disable the shortcuts in gnome-terminal.
[05:05] <alex-82> sabot: /
[05:06] <alex-82> sabot: '/' signifies the root directory
[05:06] <sabot> okay
[05:06] <Guest65382> I dont know how to troubleshoot the porting of my DHCP
[05:06] <Guest65382> the network card
[05:06] <sabot> partitioning now then, hope this works, thank you :)
[05:06] <ra21vi> dr_willis: yes
[05:06] <alex-82> np
[05:06] <angus> I have wifi card issue
[05:07] <woli> can anybody help me setup a live usb with ubuntu intrepid ibex?
[05:07] <ra21vi> dr_willis: ok, ctrl+n works for next
[05:08] <sabot> FYI: In the future, hibernation should be disabled during installation, the whole thing freezes if it happens
[05:08] <savvas> woli: System > Administration > Create a USB startup disk (I think)
[05:08] <wesouler> hello , i have a  Vmware  problem,but #vmware is no response. there is a VirualMachine ping host return is  success,but failed to ping gateway.what's wrong with vmware or host or router?

[05:09] <rccu> do you mean teh getaway's mac
[05:09] <Moddington2_> newbie here, I need to install a few libraries, such as SDL_image and libgl, how can I install/find them?
[05:09] <savvas> woli: you said you have intrepid ibex, right? run this from the terminal: usb-creator
[05:09] <Eatdrums> does changing my MAC address in eth0 change the porting?
[05:09] <techsupport> when i type screen i get error Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check.
[05:10] <woli> savvas, I did not. I want to create a live usb that will install intrepid ibex in my computer.
[05:10] <wesouler> yep. got MAC but failed with ICMP
[05:10] <mlopezqc> hey, anyone knows why when I config a tap device with ifconfig it automatically gets an ipv6 address
[05:10] <wesouler> i think there is some problem in Layer 3
[05:10] <savvas> woli: and you have which operating system?
[05:10] <Eatdrums> How do I get Xubuntu to recognize my DHCP network card?
[05:11] <woli> savvas, 8.04
[05:11] <lwizardl> hi
[05:11] <woli> savvas, I will use the usb to install it on a laptop.
[05:11] <LogicalDash> Eatdrums, DHCP is not a kind of network card, it's a protocol used to give IP addresses to devices
[05:11] <lwizardl> anyone here using a apple g4 and get ubuntu to install ?
[05:11] <LogicalDash> Eatdrums, what kind of network card do you really have? Tell us what's on the label
[05:12] <brianherman> man
[05:12] <zyrorl> hey does anyone know how to downgrade a particular update pushed through automatic updates?
[05:12] <zyrorl> the latest pulse audio upgrade fubared up my audio
[05:12] <flaco> hello, someone can help me?? the sound is not working, is a Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller
[05:13] <LogicalDash> zyrorl: if you haven't restarted since, you can use the Force Version command in Synaptic
[05:13] <savvas> woli: download this and install it: http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/u/usb-creator/usb-creator_0.1.10~hardy1_all.deb
[05:13] <zyrorl> its all crackly and stuff. i checked the bug reports, its been reported but not really sure how to use the alternatives would rather downgrade it
[05:13] <brianherman> http://tinyurl.com/9dou9r
[05:13] <brianherman> lwizardl:http://tinyurl.com/9dou9r
[05:13] <LogicalDash> zyrorl: otherwise you'll have to track down an old version of the package
[05:13] <zyrorl> does ubuntu auto uninstall it?
[05:13] <Paddy_EIRE> woli, what are you looking to do.. install from usb flash or run a persistent flash os
[05:13] <aaa> hey guys when i'm doing upgrade u know the message that pop ups asking me if i want to install new menu.lst or keep curant one what sould i do?
[05:13] <zyrorl> or remove the old package?
[05:13] <woli> savvas, ok, perfect. I have another option, the ubuntu documentation says that I can install a live usb creator from the live cd just by inserting it in my machine... how do I do it?
[05:14] <woli> Paddy_EIRE, just install
[05:14] <LogicalDash> zyrorl: uh, when you specifically tell ubuntu to install an older version of a package, it will uninstall the newer version
[05:14] <zyrorl> okay
[05:14] <Paddy_EIRE> woli, oh... what stage are you at exactly
[05:14] <woli> Paddy_EIRE, stage 0
[05:14] <phyrfox> Greetings. I just installed the latest version of ubuntu, and seem to have screwed up the x login screen.
[05:14] <racecar56> oh noes
[05:14] <zyrorl> i have restarted since, thats how i found my audio was fubar
[05:14] <Paddy_EIRE> woli, ok.. want some help.. or has someone got you covered?
[05:15] <phyrfox> Specifically, the font is about 1/3 the size of my screen, and I can't seem to fix it. And I somehow seem to have set it up for remote login type stuff.
[05:15] <woli> Paddy_EIRE, why don't we go to the ubuntu classroom along with savvas and you two help me out?
[05:15] <Paddy_EIRE> woli, yeah I will do
[05:15] <savvas> woli: there are a lot of guides about that process on the internet, let me find one
[05:15] <techsupport> when i type screen i get error Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check.
[05:16] <angus> Linksys WUSB54G
[05:16] <wesouler> hello , i have a  Vmware  problem,but #vmware is no response. there is a VirualMachine ping host return is  success,but failed to ping gateway.what's wrong with vmware or host or router? i shutdown the Firewall yet.Anybody can help me?
[05:16] <angus> for somehow, system didn't show I have a wifi card
[05:17] <savvas> by the way woli, why won't you use usb-creator? it allows you to insert the live cd and does the job for you
[05:17] <wesouler> angus: try iwconfig ?can you see something?
[05:17] <eross> anyone use a cintiq on ubuntu
[05:18] <aaa> guys can u tell me when i do upgrade of my ubuntu system it's asking me if i want to keep curant menu.lst or get new one i guess what should i do?
[05:18] <Kuwago> anyone know a free shell for ubuntu?
[05:18] <angus> yes, I have done that but it just show I have wired lan card, which is unplugged
[05:18] <Cpudan80> free shell ?
[05:18] <dr_willis> Kuwago,  clarify what you mean.
[05:18] <Cpudan80> all shells are free
[05:18] <fghf> aaa: update, its your grub (boot) menu list
[05:18] <Cpudan80> as in dont have to pay
[05:18] <Flannel> aaa: Did you make any manual changes to it?
[05:18] <aaa> yes
[05:19] <Flannel> aaa: What'd you change?
[05:19] <Kuwago> a telnet public free shell
[05:19] <savvas> woli: here are some good guides for reference: http://www.ryancloke.com/ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-live-usb-how-to/ http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/
[05:19] <aaa> becuase i have to change (1.0) to (0,0) to boot ubuntu
[05:19] <Cpudan80> Kuwago: telnet is a program...
[05:19] <Flannel> aaa: Ah, ok.  Well, go ahead and let it install a new one, and then afterwards go bcak and re-change that
[05:19] <Cpudan80> Kuwago: sudo apt-get install telnet
[05:20] <aaa> ok thanks
[05:20] <aaa> exit
[05:20] <dr_willis> I would hope any free 'shell' providers would be using ssh to allow access to their shell service..
[05:20] <eross> what is telnet
[05:20] <pdtpatri3k> cpudan80 why u telling him to install telnet?
[05:20] <angus> the system didn't show I have a wifi adapter
[05:20] <dr_willis> Then again - i cant imagine why anyone would want to off free 'shells' on their servers to anyone...
[05:20] <Cpudan80> pdtpatri3k: well he wanted it!
[05:20] <savvas> eross: check wikipedia for that :)
[05:20] <nickrud> dr_willis, they're out there, just not as common as they once were
[05:21] <dr_willis> Cpudan80,  hes wanting a shell provider.. for running bots and things i imagine
[05:21] <Cpudan80> oh
[05:21] <dr_willis> nickrud,  yea. :)  i imagine they are just as handy as they always were.. :P
[05:21] <Cpudan80> well that wasnt clear
[05:21] <savvas> either way, he did point him to the right direction :P
[05:21] <Barridus> anyone here use "netbook-launcher"?
[05:21] <Kuwago> yeah I know telnet is a program but I'm looking for a shell to login into that's free
[05:21] <Cpudan80> oh I see what you mean
[05:21] <Cpudan80> you want free computing
[05:21] <Cpudan80> :-)
[05:21] <phyrfox> Anyone know how to fix the font size of the x login screen? I seem to have a font way too big to do anything.
[05:22] <Cpudan80> Hard to come by
[05:22] <Cpudan80> anyway
[05:22] <Cpudan80> night all
[05:22] <FloodBot1> Cpudan80: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:22] <dr_willis> Kuwago,  google i guess is our friend. I would check for 'free shell ssh service'
[05:22] <Cpudan80> Speak for yourself floodBot :-P
[05:22] <eross> ah it's pc remote without security
[05:22] <dr_willis> Kuwago,  and avoid telnet, learn to use ssh
[05:24] <ramblingturtle> hello everyone is there a specific channel for eee ubuntu i am having problem with sd card wanting to mount only with sudo same with ipod 4th gen nano all i want is the devices to mount for all users without sudo privelages
[05:24] <phyrfox> Isn't that a /etc/fstab thingie? Mounting devices automagically?
[05:24] <dr_willis> ramblingturtle,  you could make specific fstab entries for the devices with the proper options.  if they are vfat/fat/ntfs filesystem. you may need to install/run the ntfs-config tool
[05:25] <dr_willis> phyrfox,  hal handles the 'auto mounting' of decvices not listed in fstab. :) so the 2 are 'similer' but different aspects of the same job.
[05:25] <joejc> is there a mac desktop environment?
[05:25] <Kuwago> ok thanks dr_willis I'll look into ssh
[05:25] <dr_willis> joejc,  theres 'make my gnome look like a mac' sites/tweaks
[05:25] <phyrfox> Well, I was close. I'm fairly new to Linux more or less.
[05:26] <titefuzz> is there a program where i can mount a physical windows drive?
[05:26] <ramblingturtle> dr willis could you perhaps point me in the direction of a howto
[05:26] <phyrfox> Which is why I'm rather annoyed that I fubar'ed my login screen so quickly.
[05:26] <titefuzz> instead of creating a virtual
[05:26] <dr_willis> ramblingturtle,  install/run the ntfs-config tool for starters..  then theres the ntfs-3g tool/docs that exist
[05:26] <dr_willis> !windoes
[05:26] <dr_willis> !windows
[05:26] <dr_willis> ramblingturtle,  assuming the deices are using a windows filesystem
[05:26] <Naicamine>  i just did a reinstall on my debian server and i cant ping it by hostname from a ubuntu machine. by ip, it pings fine tho
[05:27] <joejc> i found xpde that looks and kinda works like xp is ther anything like tha, that looks like mac instead?
[05:27] <dr_willis> !ntfs
[05:27] <MoLE_> I'm having difficulty getting a fully functioning gwibber going on a hardy system, anyone here successfully running it?
[05:27] <ramblingturtle> dr_willis they are both fat32 file systems.
[05:27] <dr_willis> joejc,  theres 'make my gnome look like a mac' sites/tweaks thats about it
[05:28] <dr_willis> ramblingturtle,  most of the tips to get ntfs going also apply to fat32. They just need to get mounted with the proper options. either via the fstab. or  the proper hal tweaks. (which i think that ntfs-config tool also handles)
[05:28] <epoxy> um.  why does an Ubunutu upgrade always "successfully finish".. only to render the systems full of surprises on the next reboot?  Seems to be a reoccurring theme with my girlfriends install as well as MANY clients.'
[05:29] <phyrfox> Well... I guess i'll be back. Maybe a reboot will clear my problem up, I guess.
[05:29] <F1r3544> Hola
[05:29] <devdavad> does anyone know how to remove a daemon from running at startup?
[05:29] <Tekno> yes
[05:29] <devdavad> I want to remove mysql from runnig at startup because I don't always use it
[05:29] <rcguzon> hello everyone
[05:29] <Tekno> sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf && sudo sysv-rc-conf
[05:29] <dr_willis> devdavad,  theres several 'sysv' config tools in the repos that let you configure that in a semi-gui way. ;)
[05:30] <devdavad> dr_willis, thanks I'll look for some
[05:30] <dr_willis> devdavad,  such as the one Tekno  mentio0ned
[05:30] <rcguzon> does everyone know what to do with hal-mtab, it cannot be read when i insert my flash drive
[05:30] <dr_willis> I rember why i normally still just mount all my removeable media - manually :)
[05:30] <rcguzon> i tried googling it but i found no clear answer
[05:31] <phliver> hello
[05:31] <Kuwago> anyone know why there are inconsistencies when using gparted and fdisk for creating two FAT16 partitions on a USB flash device
[05:31] <rcguzon> cannot read from ./hal-mtab
[05:32] <rcguzon> cannot read from ./hal-mtab anyone out there with an idea how to rsolve
[05:33] <NEWK2> I just installed Ubuntu on my brothers laptop, but the wifi doesn't work. someone told me to update it, but it still doesn't work. Is there anything else I can do?
[05:33] <gralco> does GCC have line numbering?
[05:34] <rcguzon> cannot read from ./hal-mtab anyone out there with an idea how to rsolve
[05:35] <hellhound> can anyone explain what virtualbox or virtualization is?  I do not understand what it is for but I keep reading about
[05:35] <dr_willis> hellhound,  it lets you run a machine.. inside a machine. :)   and do all sorts of neat tricks
[05:35] <Set_> hey
[05:35] <dr_willis> hellhound,  or run several machines inside  a real machine.
[05:35] <Set_> what does ubuntu use for full disk encyrption?
[05:36] <rcguzon> hellhound, like running xp, fedora inside ubuntu
[05:36] <hellhound> dr_willis:  thank you but what are the advantages of doing this instead of using wine
[05:36] <rcguzon> cannot read from ./hal-mtab anyone out there with an idea how to rsolve
[05:36] <kuwago> hellhound you can run another distribution or Ms windows on top of ubuntu
[05:36] <dr_willis> hellhound,  wine runs windows apps.. not the windows OS..
[05:36] <eseven73> Set_: try truecrypt its really nice
[05:37] <samrocksc> question: I've decided to take a peak at opengeu...from what i understand the installation is that similar to ubuntu(which i know, opengeu is ubuntu), how do you start the installer from livecd with ubuntu
[05:37] <kuwago> I've been using Virtualbox for over a year, it's great
[05:37] <Set_> is that what ubuntu uses in the alternate install cd?
[05:37] <dr_willis> samrocksc,  theres an icon on the desktop normally.
[05:37] <Eatdrums> How can I get Xubuntu to recognize my DHCP network card
[05:37] <jp_sf> hellhound: http://www.ubuntu.com/servervirtualization
[05:37] <Eatdrums> if you answered this I missed it
[05:37] <jtaji> Set_: dm-crypt/lvm
[05:37] <rcguzon> cannot read from ./hal-mtab anyone out there with an idea how to rsolve
[05:37] <Set_> k
[05:38] <hellhound> dr_willis:  I have windows on one harddrive on my computer and ubuntu on another and dualboot between the two in order to play games.  so with virtualbox will it allow me to open this windows installation without having to dualboot?
[05:38] <Eatdrums> my terminal send packets: network is down
[05:38] <kuwago> Hellhound Virtualbox is great for tryinh out other distro flavor of Unix or Linux and other OS's
[05:38] <samrocksc> dr_willis, i'm using the 8.04 and they don't have any icons on the desktop with this one
[05:38] <Eatdrums> HOW may I configure my network?
[05:38] <dr_willis> hellhound,  thats one  not very good way to use it... since windows will  basicially think its been moved to a totally new machine.. and vbox/vmware will NOT make full use of your 3d video cards for games.. (but that isbeing worked on)
[05:39] <dr_willis> samrocksc,  check the menus then I guess.
[05:39] <kuwago> Hellhound you don't have to dual boot with Virtualbox
[05:39] <jp_sf> rcguzon: what is the problem ? you have a problem with a flash drive ?
[05:39] <rcguzon> jp_sf, yupz
[05:39] <woli> did amd invent the 64bit system?
[05:39] <jp_sf> rcguzon: you cannot unmount it ?
[05:40] <rcguzon> i cant mount it
[05:40] <samrocksc> dr_willis, i'm gonna try to just do the install like a standard ubuntu installation, do you know if theres a command you can use at boot to start it?
[05:40] <rcguzon> jp_sf, i cant mount it
[05:40] <tritium> kuwago: with some exceptions.  For example, the free version doesn't support USB.  He may need a USB device only supported on Windows.  (Logitech Harmony comes to mind.)(
[05:40] <mker> hellhound, it won't open *that* windows installation, you have to install it in virtualbox itself. and I'm not sure you'll be able to play games just like that in it. probably performance loss
[05:40] <regeya> I dunno.  Did amd beat intel to the x86_64 punch or sometihing, woli?  I can't remember.
[05:40] <dr_willis> samrocksc,  for opengeu? not really. I found that ubuntu variant. a bit useless.
[05:40] <minisuper> hola
[05:40] <minisuper> buenas noches
[05:41] <woli> !es | minisuper
[05:41] <kuwago> dr_willis Virtualbox 2.10 now has 3D accelration for playing 3D game
[05:41] <dr_willis> kuwago,  for some games in some cases.. from what ive read...
[05:41] <minisuper> ok muchas gracias
[05:41] <rcguzon> jp_sf, do you have any idea how to do this
[05:41] <samrocksc> dr_willis, i've never used ubuntu, always used gentoo with e17 heh, what do people normally do for ubuntu :/
[05:41] <lanoxx_> can anyone explain me what i dont have alsaconf, eventhough i got alsa-utils installed?
[05:41] <dr_willis> samrocksc,  you could always install e17 in ubuntu if you like it.
[05:42] <lanoxx_> s/what/why
[05:42] <jp_sf> rcguzon: it is usually a problem with fstab
[05:42] <samrocksc> dr_willis, :P i am way to lazy to download it haha
[05:42] <hellhound> mker:  dr_willis hummm i am ignorant sorry but I still do not understand why someone would not just use wine.  why would someone want a full windows system in their buntubox
[05:42] <mker> Regel, the specific architecture was created by amd and that's why it's called amd64
[05:43] <dani_> hey hey ubuntu world!!
[05:43] <dr_willis> samrocksc,  i found most of these E17-ubuntu-merger/spinoffs to be.. lacking in any real reasons for me to use them vs a 'normal' ubuntu install. :)
[05:43] <dr_willis> hellhound,  wine runs WINDOWS apps. it will not run a linux disrto, or BeOS, or CPM or DOS. or any other OS.. it runs APPS. not the whole OS.
[05:43] <samrocksc> dr_willis, yeah this is rather aggravating
[05:43] <mker> hellhound, wine isn't perfect, sometimes you need the real thing
[05:44] <dani_> how do i change the color font of my panel clock? or is there another panel clock applet i could replace it with? huh?
[05:44] <rcguzon> jp_sf, im a noob at ubuntu, do you know how to fix it?
[05:44] <dr_willis> hellhound,  I use vurtialbox to run Linux in virtualbiox.. under Vista. :)   You dont have to run windows in it.
[05:44] <kuwago> hellhound not just windows but with Virtualbox you can operated two distro's at the same time if you have dual monitors, it's great
[05:44] <omnikill> anyone able to help me with openSSH?
[05:44] <lastent> hi, I have a problem with a video, when a watch it on VLC, Totem or MPlayer I get a green strip, but when I watch it on Kaffeine everything is normal
[05:45] <tritium> lanoxx_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=52941
[05:45] <dani_> its a codec problemo dude
[05:45] <alex-82> dr_willis: speaking of spin-offs. I really like rox-filer and I was wondering how to replace nautilus with it. I think I understand how to deal with the desktop, but I'm wondering about situations where nautilus is the default file-manager. Like for instance, if I right click on a downloaded file in firefox and say 'show in folder', it will open nautilus. Any ideas?
[05:45] <kuwago> I have even just installed Window 7 Beta for testing on Virtualbox
[05:45] <samrocksc> dr_willis, i found the icon! It's because they turned off efm :P
[05:45] <dr_willis> alex-82,  just install rox-filer and  on the proerties of a folder. I think you set what the default app is. But not all the gnome menus will lauinch that by default even if you do it.
[05:45] <rcguzon> kuwago, where did you get a copy of windows 7
[05:46] <jp_sf> rcguzon: I'm not so sure I think I would delete the dbus/pid and reconfigure hal
[05:46] <hunshad> Hi a;;
[05:46] <hunshad> all*
[05:46] <hellhound> mker:  dr_willis: kuwago: ok i can see now that if you want two OS's or have to keep windows for something.. virtualization is better than rebooting... LOL now you have me wishing they could get games to work on the virtual os :)
[05:46] <alex-82> dr_willis: is nautilus a dependency of gnome?
[05:47] <kuwago> found it as a torrent using Deluge
[05:47] <dani_> how do you change clock font color?
[05:47] <jp_sf> rcguzon: it is a USB flash drive you are trying to access ?
[05:47] <dr_willis> hellhound,  games are the least  common use for the thing. :)
[05:47] <dani_> are there any clock applets for panels?
[05:47] <Dude_> hi.. hw do u install zippys webcam
[05:47] <rcguzon> jp_sf, it is a flah drive im trying to access
[05:47] <mrh> Hi all
[05:47] <Set_> i have an erection
[05:47] <akio> Hello, I need some help with a framebuffer.
[05:48] <dani_> hey is there face recognition for linux login?
[05:48] <hellhound> dr_willis:  true
[05:48] <jp_sf> hellhound you have also cooperation instead of virtualization see andLinux
[05:48] <Set_> o snap
[05:48] <Set_> wrong chan
[05:48] <Tekno> dani_: that would be cool :D
[05:48] <dani_> im arriving
[05:48] <rcguzon> jp_sf, "I'm not so sure I think I would delete the dbus/pid and reconfigure hal" i think im not good enough with this one
[05:48] <jp_sf> rcguzon: do you have a lot of USB connection to the box that is having a problem ?
[05:48] <dani_> totally!
[05:48] <omnikill> anyone want to help me with my openssh problem?
[05:48] <sumit> akio, what help ?
[05:48] <ramblingturtle> dr_willis: thank you i will search through the wiki for a refresher on mount commands... it has been awhile
[05:49] <dr_willis> omnikill,  state the problem to the channel and see who answers.
[05:49] <crayvec> OMG its taken me 3 days to configure Apache2, ddclient on Ubunto 8.10
[05:49] <akio> sumit: I need to set the framebuffer to a non-standard video mode, 1024x600-60@32
[05:49] <dani_> la la la la means i love linux
[05:49] <rcguzon> jp_sf, only the mouse i guess, this is a laptop im using, so there are a few maybe inside
[05:49] <jp_sf> rcguzon: well you have a few kewords in what I said, but I don't really know your configuration
[05:49] <akio> dr_willis: next time use webfs
[05:49] <omnikill> sshd can't find the keys which i made sure are in /etc/ssh but it still gives the following errors
[05:49] <omnikill> Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
[05:49] <omnikill> Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
[05:50] <omnikill> anyone know enough about openssh to help?
[05:50] <rcguzon> jp_sf, ok thank you
[05:50] <jp_sf> rcguzon: what I would do is I would do a sudo dbus-demon --system
[05:50] <nbeebo> kernel updates isnt critical are they? can i disable update manager stuff if it isnt?
[05:50] <mrh> I get "Reading package lists... Done" then "Segmentation faulty tree... 0%" whenever I try to install an app from the CL
[05:50] <nbeebo> i mean, if u cant*
[05:50] <dr_willis> omnikill,  check the ssh logs. If the keys exist. the permissions on the keys may be  incorrect.
[05:50] <wesouler> omnikill,you must create one
[05:51] <jp_sf> rcguzon: (don't do it) I would delete the /var/run/dbus/pid
[05:51] <jschall> what directory are my private keys stored in?
[05:51] <crayvec> Would Bind clash with ddcleint?
[05:51] <jp_sf> rcguzon: then I would sudo dpkg-reconfigure hal
[05:51] <akio> Who is the monster Linux guru in here?
[05:51] <omnikill> wesouler, the keys are already there
[05:51] <rcguzon> jp_sf, ok ill give it a try
[05:51] <hunshad> I have a question: i want to install a ubuntu system on a usb  key, but i don't know witch image .iso i must recover? It is a Desktop CD image or Low-Power Intel Architecture MID USB image?
[05:51] <jp_sf> rcguzon: then I would reboot
[05:52] <jp_sf> rcguzon: and hopefully you should not have any problem
[05:52] <nitrohax> anyone know of a reason why a blue tooth mouse would work, then after a restart lose pairing and not pair up again?
[05:52] <wesouler> omnikill,it's must have +r
[05:52] <lanoxx_> tritium, thank you, i read it, so how do i get sound running then, i guess my installer for the sound drivers is not much use without alsaconf
[05:52] <kuwago> rcguzon try this if your flash drive don't mpunt. Type in terminal:
[05:52] <kuwago> sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[05:52] <kuwago> Add an # to the line below:
[05:52] <kuwago> /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0
[05:52] <kuwago> ....or it may look like this
[05:52] <kuwago> /dev/sdc1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0
[05:52] <akio> echo "Mmmkayy" | festval --tts
[05:52] <FloodBot1> kuwago: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:53] <jp_sf> rcguzon: and first I would try the solution of kuwago
[05:53] <joejc> is it possible to get a virtual machine on a network?
[05:53] <kuwago> ok will do
[05:53] <dr_willis> joejc,  they can do most anything a real machine can.. and some things they cant. :)
[05:53] <joejc> ok how do i get my virtual xp on my network?
[05:53] <mrh> Ouch, I have been dropping by to ask this question since yesterday
[05:54] <rcguzon> kuwago, what do i do next?
[05:55] <omnikill> wesouler, according to the file manager, they already have read and write permissions on them
[05:55] <hunshad> Hi all, i must install a ubuntu system on a usb  key, but i don't know witch image .iso to diwnload? It is a Desktop CD image or Low-Power Intel Architecture MID USB image? http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/
[05:55] <ziroday> Hi, for some reason sftp throught the gvfs module copies files across at ~1.8kbs compared to scp which can do it at ~450, any ideas?
[05:57] <crayvec> Hi can someone tell me if this site is working, I.ve spent the last 3 days configuring apache2, ddclient on Ubuntu 8
[05:57] <crayvec> Im not spamming just going blind trying to see if ive done the config right
[05:57] <dr_willis> joejc,  follow the virtualbox docs.. and it should  basicially see the virtual nic and auto-dhcp and get on.
[05:58] <dr_willis> joejc,  i do NOT suggest using virtualbox or vmware to run a 'preinstalled on a diffreent hard drive' (ie real) windows install.
[05:58] <c-0-r-e> hi... i need help with compiling...
[05:58] <joejc> im not
[05:58] <c-0-r-e> aircrack-ng.c:5127: error: ignoring return value of ‘pipe’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
[05:58] <ohzie> joejc, Yes, what dr_willis said. Don't do that.
[05:58] <crayvec> http://smcsorl.homelinux.com/   nothing special just need to see if it can be reached from outside my network
[05:59] <ohzie> crayvec, Yes.
[05:59] <joejc> i was going to but it was quicker to just install xp
[05:59] <crayvec> Oh cheers thanks
[05:59] <crayvec> Breath now
[05:59] <Ademan> any non-programmers have resources they used to learn bash scripting?  (totally newbie friendly stuff)
[06:00] <c-0-r-e> i need help with compiling aircrack-ng.c:5127: error: ignoring return value of ‘pipe’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
[06:00] <c-0-r-e> http://pastebin.com/f43779656
[06:00] <tritium> Ademan: sudo apt-get install abs-guide, and then read through it
[06:01] <dr_willis> Ademan,  read/bootkmark that abs-guide.. :) then reread it a few days later.. then again a week later...
[06:01] <tritium> lanoxx_: not sure what your specific issue is, but check !sound
[06:01] <scientes2> im having trouble getting grub to work on my vmware install
[06:01] <Ademan> thanks both of you, although it's not actually for me... I've been programming in c++ for 6 years and python for 3... :-p
[06:01] <scientes2> i use grub-install from a live cd but it doesnt work
[06:02] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[06:02] <scientes2> even when i do it from inside a chroot inside of the target disk with dev and proc mounted
[06:02] <silv3r_m00n> i installed kde ... and the kde desktop works fine....what is this kdm ?
[06:02] <scientes2> it reports no errors but grub cant frind the disk
[06:02] <dr_willis> !kdm
[06:02] <scientes2> it is scsi
[06:02] <phixxor> hey, I'm trying to assign a fixed IP for my ethernet network. WHat is the proper command for this?
[06:02] <dr_willis> silv3r_m00n,  kdm is kde's replacement for gdm
[06:02] <Ademan> silv3r_m00n: it's the kde display manager, it serves the same purpose as gdm
[06:03] <scientes2> you dont need both it doesnt really matter which one you use
[06:03] <silv3r_m00n> what is gdm ?
[06:03] <scientes2> its the thing that logs you in
[06:03] <Dracie_> gnome display manager
[06:03] <Ademan> silv3r_m00n: when you type in your username and password, that's gdm
[06:03] <silv3r_m00n> oh
[06:03] <Dracie_> manages your graphical X sessions
[06:03] <Dracie_> !gdm
[06:03] <Ademan> unless you're at a terminal... lol
[06:03] <Dracie_> !help gdm
[06:03] <dr_willis> !info wdm
[06:03] <dr_willis> :)
[06:03] <Dracie_> !info gdm
[06:03] <Dracie_> lol
[06:03] <dr_willis> thes others also.
[06:03] <Dracie_> !info powernowd
[06:03] <lanoxx_> !sound | lanoxx
[06:04] <silv3r_m00n> Ademan: i have both gnome and kde installed and i login thru a gnome login .... if i install kdm which login shall i get ?
[06:04]  * dr_willis laughes at the bots
[06:04] <Ademan> hahahahahahaha
[06:04] <Dracie_> i hate powernod i use cpu-freqd with more easy
[06:04] <silv3r_m00n> i mean which type of login screen
[06:04] <Ademan> did ubottu just get banned?
[06:04] <dr_willis> silv3r_m00n,  it will switch to kdm then.. you can easially change iot back
[06:04] <silv3r_m00n> dr_willis: where can i find that particular setting ?
[06:05] <Ademan> lanoxx_: by the way you can find things out by /msg ubottu <whatever>   so that you avoid getting ubottu banned from the channel :-p
[06:05] <dr_willis> silv3r_m00n,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[06:05] <scientes2> silv3r_m00n: you set kdm to start instead of gdm
[06:05] <scientes2> your rc2.d etc scripts
[06:05] <lanoxx_> Ademan, ok thx
[06:06] <scientes2> to not set it permanately you can /etc/init.d/gdm stop then /etc/init.d/kdm start
[06:06] <dr_willis> scientes2,  thats the hard way. :)  easier to dpkg-reconfogure it
[06:06] <lanoxx_> so ALSA is not configured, it got removed by the sound installed setup file which i downloaded from asus
[06:06] <dr_willis> scientes2,  actually that wont work - since both script check to see whats the default. and theone thats not set to be default will just exit.
[06:06] <dr_willis> scientes2,  at least i think it still does that.
[06:06] <scientes2> really?
[06:07] <scientes2> that seems like unneccirally breaking stuff without rewason
[06:07] <scientes2> but yeah dpkg-reconfigure sounds better
[06:07] <scientes2> but probably does exactally what i said
[06:07] <dr_willis> scientes2,  its not breaking stuff without reason.. both kdm and gdm can be started and only the one thats set to be default will actually run, as a sanity check.
[06:08] <scientes2> no the sanity check is if the other is *started*
[06:08] <akio> Hello, I have one of them-there fancy netbooks, need to know how I can get a 1024x600 framebuffer console. Any ideas?
[06:08] <scientes2> ie anything taking the screen
[06:08] <Flynsarmy> When will archive manager ever get support for drag-extracting into folders that are in 'list view' ?
[06:09] <scientes2> you can actually run both at the same time
[06:09] <brain187> has anyone tired powerdvd yet
[06:09] <brain187> or would like to
[06:10] <dr_willis> akio,  theres often specific forums for each brand netbook. you could try the 'vga=ask' option in the menu.lst and let it show what modes it sees
[06:11] <jwaldo> Anyone have a Conky script for displaying IRC messages? Google and #conky turned up no results
[06:11] <mezquitale> what e-mail client do you recommmend for GNOME?
[06:11] <rndmtngnt> anyone got a link to a good guide to performance tweaking ubuntu 8.10?
[06:11] <LurkersA> jwaldo, Have you checked man conky?
[06:12] <dr_willis> jwaldo,   you would proberly have to  do some work for that.  find an irc client that  can print text/channel messages to a file.. and have conky tail the file.
[06:12] <lanoxx_> is there a way to atleast get my old sound driver back to work again?
[06:12] <dr_willis> jwaldo,  the conky homepage also has a lot of neat scripts but i doubt if what you are asking is a 'trivial' thing.  well its sort of trivial.. but not  super-trivial :)
[06:12] <brain187> dose anyone on here buy anything from the online store
[06:12] <jp_sf> brain187: the ubuntu one ? yes I did
[06:13] <Khisanth> you could just turn on logging in the IRC client :)
[06:14] <jwaldo> That's what I figured. This should be interesting. . .
[06:14] <alex-82> conky has the functionality to exec a shell command and display the result
[06:14] <LurkersA> rndmtngnt, Try Ubuntu Tweak, it is on GetDeb
[06:14] <alex-82> if you just tail the log file then it woudl be fairly simple
[06:14] <akio> dr_willis: so far I only have one page that is close enough to what I'm looking for that I have found by googling.
[06:15] <nbeebo> conky can do almost anything text vice
[06:15] <akio> http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-eeepc-devel/2008-September/001114.html
[06:16] <rndmtngnt> LurkersA: thanks the ubuntu tweak site seems to be down :(
[06:17] <lanoxx_> can anyone help my getting my sound back to work?
[06:18] <kuwago> Then save the file and try plugging in your USB flash drive
[06:18] <lanoxx_> anyone?
[06:18] <LurkersA> rndmtngnt, http://www.getdeb.net/app/Ubuntu+Tweak
[06:18] <LurkersA> site -is- up :)

[06:22] <LurkersA> eweb100, Just the normal launch command, I assume it is just 'cheese'
[06:23] <eweb100> lurkersA. http://paste.ubuntu.com/101494/
[06:23] <regeya> whoa whoa whoa, is someone calling 35 'old'?
[06:24] <eweb100> regeya, well when you have a 13 year old in the room...
[06:25] <eweb100> lurkersa, ello?
[06:25] <LurkersA> eweb100, Looks like a GStreamer plugin issue, have you tried reinstalling GStreamer?
[06:25] <eweb100> lurkersa, no i will thanks
[06:25] <regeya> oh, I see...surprised to see that dr_willis has a grandson...sorry, I hadn't scrolled up enough and konsole didn't refresh properly apparently
[06:26]  * regeya remembers that a grandma of a classmate was in her late 30s when he was in junior high...
[06:27] <eweb100> lurkersa, is GStreamer a package? because apt-get can't find it
[06:27] <LurkersA> eweb100, Should be, wait a tick
[06:28] <eweb100> lurkersa, no problem thanks!
[06:28] <jim_p> eweb100, its multiple packages depending on the codecs it includes. like gstreamer-good / bad/ ugly etc
[06:28] <LurkersA> eweb100, Yeah, it's there, in the universe repos
[06:28] <dr_willis> hes 2 :)
[06:28] <Flynsarmy> When will archive manager ever get support for drag-extracting into folders that are in 'list view' ?
[06:28] <LurkersA> ^^ what jim_p said as well
[06:29] <dr_willis> Grandson has allready ruined one laptop with a bottle of soda.. almost got a 2nd one today
[06:29] <LurkersA> i get it through "Add/Remove Programs"
[06:29] <eweb100> jim_p; lurkersa, so what would be the correct act to take? to reinstall it
[06:29] <dr_willis> Flynsarmy,  try click/shift click farther down the list?
[06:29] <jim_p> eweb100, because i lost the conversation, what is the problem with gstreamer?
[06:30] <eweb100> jim_p,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/101494/
[06:30] <LurkersA> jim_p, http://paste.ubuntu.com/101494/
[06:31] <jim_p> eweb100, do you have gstreamer-properties?
[06:31] <eweb100> jimy_p, Total noob here...? how would i find out if i did
[06:32] <jim_p> eweb100, open a terminal and type             gstreamer-properties                      a window should come up
[06:33] <eweb100> jim_p, An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gstreamer-properties. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.
[06:33] <eweb100> jim_p, dout thats good..?
[06:33] <jim_p> eweb100, :| did it open though?
[06:33] <eweb100> jim_p, ya that is the error code i got
[06:33] <eweb100> jim_p, when i opened it
[06:33] <jim_p> ok
[06:34] <brain187> anyone know about the codec pack they sell?
[06:34] <jim_p> eweb100, go to video tab, and select v4l as your prefered video device
[06:34] <jim_p> eweb100, *video input device
[06:34] <eweb100> kk
[06:35] <DigitalFiz> is there a place where you can check out linux games, maybe a site with ratings and stuff?
[06:35] <jim_p> brain187, do you want to buy it instead of using the medibuntu repo?
[06:35] <jim_p> DigitalFiz, http://www.linux-gamers.net/

[06:37] <vasyok> Can anybody help me about mounting?? I have usb_DataTraveler(Kingston,2GB). When I mounting it, ubuntu writes:"mount:block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only". Is it possible to mount this usb device with read-write options??
[06:37] <lanoxx_> is there anyone how can help with me with my sound issue?
[06:38] <jim_p> eweb100, do you have synaptic?
[06:38] <eweb100> jimy_p, yes
[06:38] <xelectrox> hi, can anyone help me with a konversation question?
[06:39] <sfer21> !ask | xelectrox
[06:39] <vasyok> I'm dummer
[06:39] <jim_p> eweb100, open it and look for eny package starting with gstreamer. remove them and reinstall
[06:39] <xelectrox> well i wasn't sure as it's not about ubuntu, rather it's program in ubuntu.
[06:40] <xelectrox> i need to run more than one command when joining an irc network, like the command to identify my nick, and a command to join a channel via bot invite. how would i use multiple commands in konversations command area?

[06:41] <eweb100> jim_p, ok got ya
[06:41] <jim_p> eweb100, let me look
[06:42] <pipegeek> Hi
[06:42] <vasyok> ohohohooo!!
[06:42] <hobot> question: I am trying to isntall g++-3.4 using apt and I cant seem to find the package, so i googled the issue and it looks like some other people were having the same issues, but their threads were closed
[06:43] <hobot> any idea where I should start?
[06:43] <vasyok> use gcc 4.2
[06:43] <hobot> well I am not sure if that is supported by the software
[06:43] <vasyok>  Can anybody help me about mounting?? I have usb_DataTraveler(Kingston,2GB). When I mounting it, ubuntu writes:"mount:block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only". Is it possible to mount this usb device with read-write options??
[06:44] <vasyok> i'm Russian
[06:44] <pipegeek> I installed qdvdauthor on intrepid, and all the dialogs and menus are blank---it's not just that the text is the same color as the background, as submenus are visibly empty (not enough room to contain items).  This only happens when it's run within a gnome session.
[06:44] <vasyok> and i'm 13 years old
[06:44] <pipegeek> Any idea why that might be?
[06:44] <jim_p> gstreamer0.10-alsa  gstreamer0.10-esd   gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs  gstreamer0.10-lame  gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good  gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly  gstreamer0.10-x
[06:45] <pipegeek> vasyok: is it possible that there's a write-protect switch on the device, which is in the wrong position?
[06:45] <dpreache1> hello all
[06:45] <jim_p> eweb100, this is what i have
[06:46] <vasyok> pipegeek: no, i haven't it
[06:46] <dpreache1> anyone knows which package works best to transfer files to and fro a windows mobile 6.1 device (htc touch p3452)
[06:46] <multidex> hi room!
[06:46] <eweb100> jim_p, ok
[06:46] <pipegeek> vasyok: with what filesystem is the volume formatted?
[06:46] <vasyok> pipegeek: vfat32
[06:47] <pipegeek> well, that is rather odd, isn't it
[06:47] <pipegeek> And you *can* mount it and write to it under windows
[06:47] <pipegeek> ...?
[06:47] <unop> vasyok, /dev/scd0  - does not sound like a usb device, sounds more like an optical device
[06:48] <unop> vasyok, make sure you have the right device.  fdisk -l  # should help
[06:48] <pipegeek> unop, I'm a doofus
[06:48] <vasyok> unop: it's USB device
[06:48] <sumit__>  Hi,  while installing  xchat it ask dependencies of python I am using Ubuntu 8.10 at my home PC now how can i install it
[06:48] <pipegeek> vasyok, I think you might be using the wrong device
[06:49] <vasyok> no
[06:49] <pipegeek> how do you know?
[06:49] <unop> sumit_, how are you installing xchat there?
[06:49] <mezquitale> can someone recommend a PCI Express video card that will work with ubuntu???
[06:49] <eweb100> jim_p, i just am reinstalling everything that starts with gstreamer
[06:49] <vasyok> i formatted this device
[06:49] <jim_p> yea
[06:49] <binarymutant> sumit_ dependecies are taken care of with synaptic and apt
[06:49] <lanoxx_> /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/kernel/ubuntu/misc/media/snd-bt-sco.ko <---- i have the modules for sound, but sound is not working, does anyone know what do do?
[06:49] <pipegeek> vasyok, I would guess the usb device actually looks something like /dev/sdb1
[06:50] <sumit__> unop, sudo apt-get install xchat
[06:50] <unop> sumit_, show us the output of that command - on a pastebin
[06:50] <pipegeek> don't know why the format worked, but /dev/scd0 refers to the first scsi cd/dvd drive
[06:50] <jp_sf> pipegeek: type eject /dev/scd0 the cdrom would eject
[06:50] <sumit__> binarymutant, ya but dont ubderstand why it is not taking depndeies it self
[06:50] <LurkersA> mezquitale, 8600GT
[06:50] <vasyok> pipegeek: it is a usb flash driv
[06:50] <vasyok> e
[06:51] <phixxor_irssi> how do I switch tabs in terminal with the keyboard?
[06:51] <vasyok> it's not HDD
[06:51] <phixxor_irssi> like switch between tabs
[06:51] <unop> phixxor_irssi, ctrl+shift+t ?
[06:52] <phixxor_irssi> unop: naw, that made a new one
[06:52] <mezquitale> LurkersA, have you tried it on ubuntu?  That is the best price for an NVIDIA card, the rest are more than $100
[06:52] <binarymutant> sumit_sudo apt-get install xchat, then hit y to accept the installation of dependencies
[06:52] <jp_sf> phixxor_irssi: ctrl + pagedown or up
[06:52] <pipegeek> vasyok, I don't know what happened there.  It's possible the same physical device is being exposed through two device nodes, and when you access it as /dev/scd0, it treats it as a cd (ie, read-only).  Do dmesg | grep usb, and see if you see a device name there
[06:52] <phixxor_irssi> jp_sf: thanks
[06:52] <LurkersA> mezquitale, Never had a problem with it and I've been using it for years
[06:52] <phixxor_irssi> jp_sf: also I just found it... it's right under the tabs menu... heh, sorry
[06:52] <pipegeek> I only say it's possible because I don't know otherwise ;)
[06:53] <jp_sf> phixxor_irssi: true
[06:54] <phixxor_irssi> the real problem I wanted to ask about, is what does this ping error mean? Ping: sendmsg: operation not permitted
[06:54] <kiasanth> is it possible to do a full install across a network?
[06:54] <TyGRus> When I am logging into Gnome, it halts, and the menu bar etc. do not show up... I can just see the desktop. Any thoughts? Where can I check the logs for this?
[06:55] <jp_sf> kiasanth: yes kickstart
[06:55] <unop> kiasanth, sure
[06:55] <kiasanth> nice, where do I look for that?
[06:55] <unop> !netboot | kiasanth
[06:55] <TyGRus> I can right click and create folder
[06:56] <kiasanth> sweet, thanks guys and bots

[07:00] <yoyit2> LurkersA:  ok, well im REALLY new to ubuntu, and i have NO clue of what to do in there
[07:00] <LurkersA> terryx, Which print error?

[07:01] <eweb100> sohail, webcam
[07:01] <eweb100> sohail, thing
[07:01] <LurkersA> yoyit2, There should be a search button at the top, click it, search the name of the program in the box, when it returns the results, look for that program, right click on it, select 'install' and click the green tick at the top
[07:01] <macvr> hi all, i'd like to install ubuntu in another partition , in the same harddrive , could this be done? i.e 2 roots in the same drive but different partitions? each time i could use a different 1 ?
[07:01] <histo> yoyit2, or you can opne a terminal and "sudo aptitude install ogmrip"  with out quotes ofcourse
[07:02] <LurkersA> terryx, most of the time :D
[07:02] <yoyit2> histo: it just says it confilcts with another program
[07:02] <histo> yoyit2, ahh well using synaptic or other means won't install it either. YOu have to resolve the conflict
[07:02] <terryx> lurkera, so as my printer..all are fine...but today i got an printer error, now i can;t print anything...
[07:03] <LurkersA> terryx, so you have used them before in ubuntu?
[07:03] <yoyit2> histo: how would i do that exactly?
[07:03] <pipegeek> If vasyok shows up again, perhaps someone would be so kind as to direct him to #ubuntu-ru or #linux-russian
[07:03] <terryx> lurkera, yes...and print many file..the error comes today..
[07:03] <Logomachist> I installed Ubuntu but Grub isn't kicking in like it is supposed to.
[07:04] <pipegeek> didn't get the chance before he logged off
[07:04] <LurkersA> terryx, Have you changed anything on the computer lately
[07:04] <LurkersA> ?
[07:04] <syahril> execuse me ! how to set enable usb using virtualbox ose?
[07:04] <Logomachist> Help? I'm trying to duel-boot WinXP and Linux.
[07:04] <terryx> no
[07:04] <LurkersA> syahril, VirtualBox only addresses 2 USB devices
[07:04] <terryx> only updates
[07:04] <LurkersA> terryx, Can you post the error?
[07:05] <LurkersA> Logomachist, Does GRUB show up at all?
[07:05] <macvr> hi all, i'd like to install ubuntu in another partition , in the same harddrive , could this be done? i.e 2 roots in the same drive but different partitions? each time i could use a different 1 ?
[07:05] <LurkersA> syahril, That is generally your mouse and keyboard
[07:05] <unop> macvr, sure
[07:05] <syahril> So, How to share my folder from real machine in virtual machine
[07:06] <terryx> lurkera, well no big error, i tried to print empty page, and its says...print error...there was a problem processing document..<document name>
[07:06] <thorsten11> Logomachist: is ubuntu the only os on the drive?
[07:06] <LurkersA> I don't know if VirtualBox can do that
[07:06] <iffan4ever> macvr: you can
[07:06] <LurkersA> syahril, I don't know if VirtualBox can do that
[07:06] <macvr> unop: how would the setup respond then? would i have an option in grub?
[07:06] <Logomachist> No, I also have WinXP
[07:06] <syahril> thank LurkersA
[07:06] <LurkersA> terryx, Does it do the same for a document with something on it?
[07:06] <unop> macvr, grub should detect the already installed OSes and add entries automatically
[07:07] <terryx> lurkera, yes
[07:07] <LurkersA> syahril, No problem, you can always try VMWare Player :D
[07:07] <syahril> VMWare is free or Commercial?
[07:07] <LurkersA> terryx, Odd.... Have you tried restarting the printer?
[07:07] <unop> macvr, but why would you want to install ubuntu twice?
[07:07] <macvr> unop: ok... the thing is i'm having problems with 8.10 , so i want to install 8.10 in another partition and check if that works? would i have any conflicts?
[07:07] <Logomachist> Grub wasn't showing up, but I found a seperate Windows installer for Grub and now it does show up, but don't start Linux, only generates errors.
[07:08]  * BruceChang bows
[07:08] <Ahadiel> syahril, It's possible to share a folder with Virtualbox
[07:08] <Logomachist> In other words, there's a Grub entry on the WinXP boot menu.
[07:08] <thorsten11> Logomachist: i tried a dual boot with vista/ubuntu.  could never get networking capabilites but grub sure took control.  Hmm thats quite a pickle
[07:08] <LurkersA> syahril, Player and server are free and are good products, Workstation is ~$500 but is well worth the cost in my opinion
[07:08] <Ahadiel> syahril, In your VM's window, go to Devices => Shared Folders
[07:08] <unop> macvr, the only conflicts would happen if both installs shared the same partitions/filesystems - just make sure that isn't the case
[07:08] <brain187> what are you problem with810?
[07:08] <thorsten11> Logomachist: grub should be what shows up and you pick from it
[07:09] <unop> macvr, it's just like dual-booting two different operating systems
[07:09] <BruceChang> brain187: hello. Do you know how to use generic IDE driver to install Ubuntu?
[07:09] <Logomachist> Yeah I looked online and that's what the tutorials say should happen.
[07:09] <terryx> lurkera, now see, i have delete the printer..and turn off then on it, then when i on it its showing printer added
[07:09] <LurkersA> Logomachist, Try booting with a live cd and running the command "install-grub"
[07:09] <macvr> unop:  ok ... could u check this out if u have any ideas? how to resolve this?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6448335&postcount=1 <<< if this is solved i wouldnt have to reinstall!
[07:09] <terryx> lurkera, now i try to print...
[07:09] <thorsten11> Logomachist: i hate to suggest this, but you may want to delete the partition and start from scratch again. might have been an error in the installation
[07:10] <Logomachist> So I start a terminal and select type "install-grub"? Do I have to be in a certain directory?
[07:10] <LurkersA> terryx, It fix it?
[07:10] <phixxor> hey if I have two computers on a network, and one has already downloaded updates, would I have to download them twice? (cause computer #2 would have to download 209 updates otherwise)
[07:11] <BruceChang> Hello. May I know how to use generic IDE driver to install Ubuntu 8.10?
[07:11] <terryx> lurkera, no....before i have done that...but don't know what happens this time?
[07:11] <LurkersA> Logomachist, That should be the command, It worked for me last time, other option is 'Super Grub Disk' which can fix it for you.
[07:11] <brain187> bruse see pm
[07:11] <Logomachist> Thorsten11- I already did that. This was my second time installing Ubuntu, no different from the first.
[07:11] <Logomachist> What's Super Grub Disk?
[07:11] <LurkersA> it is a grub rescue cd
[07:11] <thorsten11> Logomachist: did you create the partition from xp?
[07:12] <brain187> bruce you there
[07:12] <LurkersA> Logomachist, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[07:12] <LurkersA> it is a small live cd
[07:12] <Logomachist> I did, it's using a ext3 filesystem.
[07:13] <LurkersA> terryx, What sort of printer is it?
[07:13] <unop> macvr, what does  cat /proc/swaps  #give you?
 thanks
[07:13] <terryx> hp..all in one 5610
[07:13] <opera_> hello
[07:13] <kevinw> hello
[07:13] <opera_> it is my  first irc
[07:13] <kevinw> me too
[07:13] <LurkersA> terryx, Is the correct driver selected in the 'Printer' config under System?
[07:13] <macvr> unop: /dev/ramzswap0                          partition	517844	5640	100    /dev/sda6                               partition	3550324	0	-1
[07:13] <thorsten11> Logomachist: try what LurkersA suggested, seems to have worked there. I have never had a problem like that lol, if anything, grub seems to have taken control of my hardware :)
[07:14] <jp_sf> opera_: it is ok to look
[07:14] <bullgard4> What information is stored in /sys? 'man 7 hier' does not mention /sys. 'man 7 hier' is dated  2001-09-07. /sys probably has been created later.
[07:14] <jtier> how can I reconfigure locale ? I am gettings all kind of errors all over http://pastebin.com/me0a4027
[07:14] <terryx> lurkera, how to check?
[07:14] <SmokeyD> hey ppeople. Are there xen disk images of Ubuntu hardy server available for download somewhere?
[07:14] <opera_> i don'T know
[07:14] <SmokeyD> I seem to remember seeing them somewhere
[07:14] <Logomachist> Thanks for the help. I'll give it a try and see how it goes. ^_^
[07:15] <LurkersA> terryx, System -> Administration -> Printing
[07:15] <terryx> lurkera, now?
[07:15] <LurkersA> terryx, yeah
[07:15] <SmokeyD> I can of course create an empty disk image and install ubuntu on it, but It would save time if the images already existed
[07:15] <opera_> what is the topic here
[07:15] <terryx> lurkera, i mean done...now?
[07:16] <jp_sf> jtier:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

[07:16] <unop> macvr, do you have the s2disk or pm-utils packages installed?  can you check?
[07:17] <terryx> lurkera, yes same as before..
[07:17] <LurkersA> terryx, Hmmm, odd. Well I'm not sure sorry, printers aren't really my forte, try posting a request in UbuntuForums
[07:17] <unop> bullgard4, /sys is a vritual file system containing kernel specific information mounted as a filesystem
[07:17] <Danny> Hi every one

[07:19] <unop> macvr, what actually happens when you try and suspend / hibernate?

[07:31] <macvr> unop: any ideas?
[07:31] <Flannel> BruceChang: What do you mean?  Are you having trouble installing?
[07:31] <mikeifying> lurkersa: yeah says the command doesnt exist lol
[07:31] <BruceChang> Flannel: Yes...The IDE is not recognized because it's new chipset
[07:31] <LurkersA> odd
[07:31] <Flannel> BruceChang: How do you know that IDE isn't recognized?
[07:31] <mikeifying> lurkersa, bash: alsa: command not found

[07:43] <Flannel> !install | SmokeyD

[07:48] <Deadboys> i have a problem
[07:48] <Deadboys> i changed my ssh port and reset the ssh service now i cant log in via ssh
[07:48] <Deadboys> its not even giving me an option to attempt to login just timing out when i try
[07:49] <JaZ969> Can somebody help me get my microphone to work, if I unmute any capture/recording settings they auto re-mute themselves.
[07:49] <Lamerion> unop : how about if i wanna add a usergroup to a particular directory
[07:49] <jussi01> Deadboys: so youve tried loggin in with the new port? (I assume so)
[07:49] <Lamerion> same command?
[07:49] <phixxor> is there an official "tips to speed up ubuntu" page?
[07:49] <Deadboys> jussi01 i have
[07:49] <Rollie> mikeifying can you help y/n
[07:50] <unop> Lamerion, you cannot do that- you can only specify which group owns a directory.  is that what you mean?
[07:50] <mikeifying> rollie: im looking
[07:50] <onats> anyone here familiar with vinagre?
[07:50] <jussi01> Deadboys: and you have no physical access to the machine?
[07:50] <Deadboys> none at all
[07:50] <Deadboys> its a dedicated server
[07:50] <mker> phixxor, not that I know of but if you're using Gnome and your computer is old maybe you can try XFCE instead (a.k.a. Xubuntu)
[07:50] <jussi01> Deadboys: tried a normal ssh login? (if the change didnt take)
[07:50] <Lamerion> unop: if group A owns directory, how can i allow access to group B to ftp his directory?
[07:51] <mker> onats, just ask what you want to know and you'll get an answer if someone has it.
[07:51] <Deadboys> ive tried to connect via port 22 and it wont even allow me
[07:51] <Lamerion> unop: kinda confused at this
[07:51] <Deadboys> when i try with the new port connection times out
[07:51] <Deadboys> and it doesnt even promt me for username or password
[07:51] <jussi01> Deadboys:  Id say you need to call the service provider then
[07:51] <phixxor> mker: thanks. is it that much of a difference?
[07:51] <suji> anyone know what is rpath
[07:51] <mker> Lamerion, set the permission for "others" as access files maybe? Isn't that 'default' though?
[07:51] <jussi01> !info rpath | suji
[07:51] <Deadboys> thats what i was thinking jussi01 just thought there might be some solution
[07:52] <suji> what is the use of rpath in linux
[07:52] <mker> phixxor, I don't know, it's supposed to be a bit like Gnome but made to be lighter. Give it a try :)
[07:52] <phixxor> kk
[07:53] <unop> Lamerion, the simple way - create a new group i.e. group C  whose members are both Group A and B - and set group C as the group for the directory
[07:53] <mker> suji, http://www.google.com/search?q=rpath
[07:53] <Lamerion> hmm getting there ,maybe i should describe the case abit.
[07:54] <onats> mker,  i want to be able to access my active desktop at home (ubuntu 8.10), using a windows machine

[07:54] <Lamerion> so i have a top directory that has a sub directory both owned by A, so if i want B to be able to access A's subdirectory through ftp only i must
[07:55] <Rollie> also how do you enable permissions to everything imstead of being locked out all the time
[07:55] <Lamerion> create C that has A & B ? and set owner to subfolder?
[07:55] <unop> Lamerion, correct
[07:55]  * Lamerion ponders... thanks unop
[07:56] <unop> Lamerion, you could use ACLs instead - but i don't think they are standard with ubuntu
[07:56] <anu> i use "sudo apt-get install unicode" there are error msgs : "perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
[07:56] <anu> perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:  LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), 	LC_CTYPE = "zh_CN.UTF-8", 	LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"  are supported and installed on your system... Setting up unicode (0.9) ...

[07:59] <FireFox||> histo: thank you histo, I wasn't thinking clear :)
[07:59] <mker> FireFox||, try googling the model and "ubuntu" and see what comes up. If you don't find anything useful look up the specific hardware, like the graphics card, network card and so on. Or just try the live cd like histo said :)

[08:06] <afallenhope> hat's another issue:dhcdbd: message_handler: message handler not found under /com/redhat/dhcp/
[08:06] <ohzie> partitionmagic for windows, you can set a variety of tasks to perform on your boot drive, reboot, and it does them
[08:07] <afallenhope> it's caused by the network manager
[08:07] <ohzie> but I've never seen that for linux
[08:07] <anu> who knows how to let Ubuntu support Unicode :)
[08:07] <mker> ohzie, gparted
[08:07] <ohzie> mker, Really?
[08:07] <mker> ohzie, oh, maybe not. sorry, just replied after reading "partitionmagic" :)
[08:07] <ohzie> mker, :)
[08:07] <unop> anu, make sure you have a UTF locale installed and use that locale
[08:07] <mker> ohzie, what things do you want done?
[08:07] <kiasanth> guess I'll just open her up and try and make the cd drive work
[08:08] <suji> uptime is not come pa:
[08:08] <ohzie> mker, kiasanth wants to repartition his boot drive.
[08:08] <anu> how to install UTF locale upop ? :)

[08:09] <suji> how to know  uptime in my system
[08:09] <afallenhope> pshh
[08:09] <mker> kiasanth, do you want to remove everything? (like if you have a backup of what's important or don't care about anything on the computer)
[08:09] <unop> suji, uhh.  use the uptime command
[08:10] <unop> anu,  maybe you need.   sudo aptitude reinstall locales
[08:10] <suji> what is the uptime command
[08:10] <Flannel> suji: go to a terminal and type 'uptime' then hit enter
[08:10] <unop> suji,  open up a terminal.  type   uptime
[08:10] <suji> sry i got it
[08:10]  * bobbie4 bashes his head against the wall of sheer frustration
[08:11] <kiasanth> mker: I don't care about anything on the PC
[08:11] <kiasanth> mker: but I can't boot from CD
[08:11] <anu> terminal shows :   http://paste.ubuntu.com/101521/ ?
[08:11] <Fractured> anyone use mt-daapd?  everytime i restart my box, i have to manually rescan the database to get songs listed, nothing shows up otherwise
[08:11] <mker> kiasanth, hm, but the cd drive works right? If you put a cd in you can read it?
[08:11] <betoth> Has anyone encountered a disk DNE reference when connecting a SATA drive?
[08:12] <kiasanth> mker: Nope
[08:12] <kiasanth> mker: the PC in question seems to kill CD Drives
[08:12] <anu> unop : can you help me ?
[08:12] <kiasanth> mker: I have a pile of 5 or 6 dead drives from using them in that pc
[08:12] <betoth> For some reason my OS disk reference is lost when I connect an SATA device
[08:13] <anu> unop : i want to compile in UTF in g++ :)
[08:13] <mker> kiasanth, crazy! take a look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installation%20without%20a%20CD
[08:14] <bobbie4> why me? I bought a Turtle Beach usb audio device for two reason. 1 http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Turtle_Beach said it was supported. 2) I really need the SPDIF interface. To make a long story short, Linux recognizes the device and can use it with the <TEST> buttons on the Sound Preferences screen. But that's it. No matter what I do I can't route audio to it, I can't even find a switch for the SPDIF output. I'm going to cry in a
[08:14] <bobbie4> minute.
[08:14] <FloodBot1> bobbie4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:15] <bobbie4> Paste? I typed that whole thing.
[08:15] <mayail> hsi
[08:15] <eseven73> bobbie4: i think after 3 lines or something like that FloodBot1 starts hissing :)
[08:16] <bobbie4> oh, okay. I wish my audio would hiss.
[08:17] <mayail> how to know the system time through terminl
[08:17] <mayail> system date also
[08:17] <mker> mayail, date
[08:17] <eseven73> I disabled PulseAudio to get mine working bobbie4 , actually i uninstalled it heh
[08:18] <opera_> i will go home .thanks everyone,bye
[08:18] <bobbie4> okay, eseven73 how does one uninstall Pulse Audio?
[08:18] <bobbie4> if you don't mind telling me
[08:18] <eseven73> hmm i did it using synaptic
[08:18] <evowill_> bobbie4, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=973637
[08:19] <SpAc> I just did apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment thinking it would complete a similar install to the CD, however it didn't seem to include as much as I expected. For example, no browser, or the human theme. Is this normal?
[08:19] <eseven73> !away > TwoD_asleep
[08:20] <anu> anyone knows how to install Unicode in an English Ubuntu :)
[08:20] <anu> 8.10
[08:20] <TwoD_asleep> sorry
[08:21] <evowill_> SpAc, you are probably looking for the package ubuntu-desktop
[08:22] <SpAc> evowill_, oh... so would there be much difference between gnome-core and gnome-desktop-environment?
[08:22] <mayail> how to copy file from another system to my system. i use ssh command but it only use to see the files but how to copy them
[08:22] <debbs> where can i find an updated sources list for feisty - mine is messed and has to be edited and reset
[08:23] <hischild_laptop> mayail, use sftp. It's based on ssh, so it uses the same username and password, but you use nautilus to connect.
[08:23] <nucc1> who is the "web-user" on ubuntu? the one apache runs as...
[08:23] <evowill_> SpAc, yes
[08:23] <hischild_laptop> nucc1, it's exactly as you say, it's the user apache uses to run the webserver. This is so it doesn't run as root which starts it.
[08:23] <EdgeX-> How does ubuntu go as far as printer support
[08:23] <nucc1> hischild_laptop: I want to iknow the "username"
[08:23] <rww> mayail: "scp username@address.of.remote.system:/path/to/remote/file /path/to/destination/file". Or, Places > Connect to Server > Service type: SSH.
[08:24] <hischild_laptop> !printer | EdgeX-
[08:24] <nucc1> hischild_laptop: so that I can assign ownership of a folder to it :)
[08:24] <debbs> !sources
[08:24] <SpAc> evowill_, I'm guessing gnome-desktop-environment has some extra apps where as gnome-core is just the bare basics
[08:24] <hischild_laptop> nucc1, add yourself to the owners group is probably much easier. Besides, the web user needs to have read access and in case of php that needs to write, also write access.
[08:24] <evowill_> SpAc, Exactly
[08:25] <betoth> If on bootup I get the message "Gave up waiting for root device," how can I specify the root device and restart the OS?
[08:25] <eseven73> bobbie4: any luck?
[08:25] <khaime> need help with tightvnc, i have the tightvnc server running on my ubuntu box, and i have the client running on my windows box....how can i configure my tightvnc server on my ubuntu box so that when i connect using the tightvnc "viewer" on my windows box i see the "desktop"  ?    i do not see the desktop..i only see a console window
[08:25] <nucc1> hischild_laptop: and what is the group name?
[08:25] <rww> debbs: Support for Ubuntu Feisty ended in October. I'd bet that your sources.list is "messed up" because its repositories were moved to old-archive.ubuntu.com recently.
[08:25] <bobbie4> eseven73:  I'm working though the instructions right now
[08:25] <bobbie4> hopefully it will work
[08:25] <SpAc> evowill_, then ubuntu-desktop is the whole enchilada
[08:25] <eseven73> ok
[08:26] <evowill_> SpAc, yes, it is what you would see in the liveCD
[08:26] <rww> debbs: old-releases.ubuntu.com **
[08:26] <hischild_laptop> nucc1, in a terminal go to the folder where you have stored the files  and type this --> ls -l
[08:26] <hischild_laptop> nucc1, it'll show you the user and group owning them.
[08:27] <mayail> how to know my port number in my system
[08:27] <rww> debbs: See http://jacob.steelsmith.org/content/upgrade-ubuntu-feisty-post-end-life for a replacement sources.list file, and information on upgrading to a supported version of Ubuntu.
[08:27] <evowill_> debbs, if your sources.list is really messed up, you might want to have a look at http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[08:27] <eseven73> bobbie4: also if you do not wish to permently remove it, you could always try sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop (Maybe the gurus in here can confirm that command) It's been ages since ive had to do it
[08:27] <nucc1> hischild_laptop: /var/www seems to be owned by root...
[08:27] <rww> debbs: (except change references to "edgy" to "feisty)
[08:28] <corey> hi i have a usb modem connected at /dev/ttyusb1 and i continuously auto disconnects on me (bumped) i dont know why or how to fix it, i am running ubuntu 8.10 and anyone who can help please feel free
[08:28] <hischild_laptop> nucc1, 1 more folder down
[08:28] <corey> please someone help me i droped out again
[08:28] <rww> evowill_: that link appears to be out of date
[08:28] <SpAc> evowill_, personal question: would I be ok with just gnome-desktop-environment or will it eventually lead to  me pulling my hair out?
[08:28] <nucc1> hischild_laptop: I want to find out who the web user is, so that I can make a folder owned by that user, to avoid having to make it world-readable. am I making sense?
[08:29] <evowill_> rww, wow, yea it's gone, time to unremember that link.
[08:29] <hischild_laptop> !afk > rndmtngnt|afk
[08:29]  * eseven73 hands SpAc a wig just in case
[08:29] <hischild_laptop> nucc1, yes, 1 second, a server is bugging here.
[08:29] <nucc1> hischild_laptop: I'm not a beginner with this stuff, if that helps. I've looked in "users-admin" but can't find anything helpful
[08:29] <evowill_> SpAc, I will send you a PM, as it really all depends on what you want to accomplish.
[08:31] <bobbie4> eseven73:  newbie question, how do i make a directory? is it  md ~/backup/pulseaudio/    ?
[08:31] <eseven73> mkdir
[08:31] <bobbie4> thanks
[08:31] <eseven73> anytime
[08:32] <hischild_laptop> nucc1, ps aux | grep apache shows that mine runs as www-data leading me to believe that creating a folder with that ownership should be sufficient for what you want.
[08:33] <nucc1> hischild_laptop: just saw that. I had to go check "show all" in gconf to make user-admin to display all :(
[08:33] <nucc1> thanks
[08:34] <hischild_laptop> nucc1, i gotta go for a bit. GL =)

[08:39] <Deadboys> its cli btw

[08:39] <eseven73> Deadboys: top or htop
[08:39] <ziroday> Deadboys: as well as ps
[08:40] <Deadboys> eseven73
[08:40] <terryx> eseven73, can u help me again...on printer
[08:40] <Deadboys> i typed top and saw it
[08:40] <eseven73> htop is nicer than top but you have to install it
[08:40] <Deadboys> how to i exit top?
[08:40] <eseven73> ctrl + c
[08:40] <rww> Deadboys: press 'q'
[08:40] <Deadboys> thanks eseven73
[08:40] <afallenhope> hey.. is there a replacement for NetworkManager in Ubuntu 8.04TLS? because. I keep getting disconnected every 15 mins (as you can tell)
[08:40] <eseven73> np
[08:40] <afallenhope>  http://pastebin.com/d5164f260 <-- that's one issue I have
[08:40] <afallenhope> that's another issue:dhcdbd: message_handler: message handler not found under /com/redhat/dhcp/
[08:41] <eseven73> terryx: I'm not a printer person, so i wouldnt be of much help sorry
[08:41] <EdgeX-> My printer works on ubuntu out-of-the-box...Great :D
[08:41] <Deadboys> eseven73 my top says i have two instances of psybnc running
[08:41] <Deadboys> but i only have one psybnc folder
[08:41] <rww> afallenhope: I seriously doubt that NetworkManager is the source of your problem, but one possible alternative is wicd (see http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php )
[08:41] <Deadboys> how can i terminate one
[08:41] <terryx> abhishek...delete the old printer in system-admin-printing...right?
[08:42] <bobbie4_> omfg Thank you eseven73!!!!!
[08:42] <rww> Deadboys: if they're running under your username, press the 'k' key, then type the PID (far-left number in top's display). If they're running under another user, close top and re-open it with "sudo top"
[08:42] <eseven73> lol anytime
[08:43] <bobbie4_> why did they include Pulseaudio if so many people are unhappy with it???
[08:43] <afallenhope> rww, I googled my issue apparently it's the network manager. it'sa bug.. if you googled hcdbd: message_handler: message handler not found under /com/redhat/dhcp/
[08:43] <eseven73> Pulseaudio is nice , but it has to be configured correctly, and rumor has it Ubuntu doesnt set it up right
[08:43] <rww> afallenhope: ah, I see. I guess wicd will work for you, then :)
[08:44] <bobbie4_> oh, okay
[08:44] <afallenhope> rww, how would I remove network manager?
[08:44] <eseven73> I'll prolly catch 9 kinds of hell for saying that, but meh, i say whats on my mind, i dont mince my words. :)
[08:44] <rww> afallenhope: sudo apt-get purge network-manager
[08:45] <afallenhope> oh lol
[08:45] <Deadboys> is there any reason why in my top i have several processes of sshd running
[08:45] <evowill_> afallenhope, if you are installing wicd, that will remove it for you
[08:46] <rww> Deadboys: yes. ssh makes several copies of itself for various security reasons. It's entirely normal to have a few different processes of it running.
[08:46] <eseven73> Deadboys: that's pretty normal, theres like 20 proccesses of Apache2 as well, dont pay any mind to that
[08:46] <Deadboys> okay thank you
[08:46] <Tazbobu> firefox never gives me my 'back' button anymore.. anybody know a fix?
[08:46] <Deadboys> so do you think that i should have left that one instance of psybnc on?
[08:46] <Deadboys> since there was two
[08:46] <Deadboys> i already killed it though
[08:46] <Deadboys> and im still connected to my bnc
[08:47] <afallenhope> kkz thanks guys .. personally which you think is better? network manager? or wicd?
[08:47] <Deadboys> so no harm done right lol?
[08:47] <eseven73> well you could always restart psybnc
[08:47] <rww> afallenhope: wicd
[08:47] <afallenhope> okay thanks I'll use that then.
[08:47] <terryx> how to update to the latest cups for printer in ubuntu
[08:47] <afallenhope> also it's an issue with the dhcpd
[08:47] <Deadboys> i would restart it but id rather not :S
[08:48] <evowill_> Tazbobu, you can re-add the back button by right clicking on the navigation toolbar, and choosing customize
[08:48] <evowill_> Tazbobu, or you can use Alt + left arrow key
[08:49] <eseven73> !away > LIttle_Green
[08:50] <afallenhope> rww, does it have an icon on the panel too?
[08:50] <Tazbobu> evowill_: no, I can't... it won't let me.. doesn't matter what page I go to or link I click on, it won't ever let me go back anymore
[08:50] <rww> afallenhope: in the notification area? yep
[08:50] <Tazbobu> evowill_: and the back button is still there.. just always grayed out
[08:51] <Pooky> Anyone know if there's a place to get gtk2-engine-smooth for intrepid?
[08:51] <afallenhope> rww, haha yeah. okay thanks a lot. I'll try that. HOPEFULLY that'll fix my issue. because right now my network manager tells me I'm connected to "unknown" but really I'm connected to "afhnetwork" lol
[08:51] <EdgeX-> !away > EdgeX-
[08:51] <EdgeX-> ooh

[09:00] <chilli0> hello all
[09:00] <chilli0> i can veiw my webcam in ekoi softphone but not cheese
[09:00] <chilli0> why is this
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> !webcam
[09:01] <fuzeboxsoftware> i have install phpdesigner 2008 under wine, but the text is kinda screwy, does anyone know why?
[09:01] <chilli0> ActionParsnip:  ... it works in one but not the other
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> chilli0: ive zero experience of webcams personally, the factoid may help some

[09:04] <HenryH> Can someone give me a hand please? I have just installed U 8.10 and it seems to run fine but now I have put a SCSI card in the box and connected it to my scanner and trying to find the scanner using 'XSane Image Scanner' it says "Failed to open device 'v4l:/dev/video0': Invalid Argument. How do I determine what /dev/video0 is?  And how do I get a list of the hardware that U thinks is in the box to compare that with what I think is in the b
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> the fact it works in one system is good
[09:04] <simard> I would like to run a "local dns system" on my lan so that instead of refering to my computers as 192.168.1.x on the command line I could provide with some domain name, how can I do that ?
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> HenryH: run lspci to get the cards info then websearch from there, you may need packages or to compile drivers for the card
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> simard: if you use their name, youor router will resolve names
[09:06] <fuzeboxsoftware> anyone an expert with wine?
[09:06] <rww> fuzeboxsoftware: the people in #winehq, probably
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> fuzeboxsoftware: or try in here, we may be able to help
[09:06] <rww> fuzeboxsoftware: but, if you'd like to ask your question here, we'd be happy to hear details :)
[09:06] <simard> ActionParsnip, what names ?
[09:07] <ahmed> hello room
[09:07] <fuzeboxsoftware> well, i have install phpdesigner 2008 in wine, but when i try to edit stuff,text/code, it acts weird
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> simard: the names of each system, every system has a netbios name
[09:07] <fuzeboxsoftware> is there anything i can install to help with the prob?
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | fuzeboxsoftware
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> fuzeboxsoftware: is their no opensource equivelant?
[09:09] <mker> can someone see if /lastlog works in xchat? I thought the problem was that I didn't log, but now I do and I even resterted the client. Still doesn't work.
[09:09] <p4rse> hi, how to remove a package and all of its dependencies (that are not used by other packages)? i installed the package with apt-get install
[09:09] <rww> fuzeboxsoftware: See http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10504 , maybe? Looks like some other people got it to work.
[09:09] <HenryH> ActionP I ran lspci and it said "01:0a.0 SCSI storage controller: Initio Corporation INI-950 SCSI Adapter (rev 02)" amongst a lot of other stuff. does that mean I have the card working or not?
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> p4rse: sudo apt-get --purge remove <package to be removed>; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[09:09] <rww> mker: works for me. I get a new channel window named (lastlog) with the search results. For example, I did "/lastlog lastlog" and it gave me your message.
[09:10] <p4rse> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[09:10] <mker> rww, ok good to know that it's *supposed* to work anyway. I'm just getting a blank window.
[09:10] <rww> p4rse: double-check when you run those commands that they don't try to remove more than you want. Depending on your apt-get setup they can be problematic.
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> HenryH: it means its identifid itself, websearch forthat name and see how to config it in ubuntu
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | HenryH
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> HenryH: there may be a guide in the hcl
[09:12] <rww> mker: if it helps you at all, I'm using Intrepid's version of XChat, 2.6.8, and have logging turned off (so I don't keep scrollback between sessions).
[09:12] <mker> rww, oh, I solved it, apparently xchat doesn't do number of rows like irssi which could do "/lastlog lastlog 5" to show the last 5 results.
[09:12] <p4rse> is it ok to remove libglib2.0?
[09:12] <p4rse> whats libglib?
[09:12] <rww> mker: ah. So it was searching for "lastlog 5" and not finding anything, I guess?
[09:12] <rww> !info libglib2.0
[09:12] <HenryH> ActionP: Thanks I'll do that now.  See you!!  Thanks also to ubottu, I'll follow them up.  Hope I do not have to get a new(ish) SCSI card.
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> !info libglib2.0
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> !info libglib
[09:12] <p4rse> hmm ok wierd, well i guess i can remove it then?
[09:13] <mker> rww, yeah, thanks for helping, I saw that you didn't say anything about a number so I tried the same :)
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> p4rse: id say so, if its orphaned, autoremove will remove it
[09:13] <p4rse> ok
[09:13] <rww> p4rse: if nothing else requires it, then removing it will be fine.
[09:13] <p4rse> !info libglib2.0-0
[09:13] <p4rse> oh xD
[09:14] <p4rse> i missed the last part
[09:15] <rww> p4rse: I just checked on my system and it should be fine to remove it. Only thing I have that needs it is vlc, so none of the important stuff does.
[09:15] <p4rse> ok, thanks
[09:15] <rww> p4rse: you can see if anything depends on a package with "aptitude why packagename", by the way
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> why is the opposite of apt-get install, apt-get remove and not apt-get uninstall
[09:17] <szokedemon> hello
[09:17] <rww> ActionParsnip: 'cause uninstall is too many letters :p. Besides, there's also apt-get purge, which is also an opposite of install
[09:17] <rww> Hi szokedemon!
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> rww: it just makes sense as the opposite word, plus you can tab complete
[09:18] <szokedemon> hi rww:)
[09:18] <rww> ActionParsnip: back when apt-get was first written, I don't think anyone had gotten around to bash-completion :P
[09:18] <rww> ActionParsnip: but yeah, it'd make sense if it were at least an alias for remove
[09:18] <HenryH> Seems that there was support for this card in kernet 2.4 but
[09:18] <HenryH> now it's gone
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> rww: true, just makes me laugh
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> rww: i aliased clear to cls too ;)

[09:25] <Sythe_ZN> *peeps
[09:25] <demilord_78> hi sythe_zn
[09:26] <Sythe_ZN> :) i'm an almost complete noob here...
[09:26] <Sythe_ZN> i wonder if i could pick your brains for a moment?
[09:26] <demilord_78> uhmmm so am I
[09:26] <demilord_78> lol
[09:26] <Sythe_ZN> lol ;)
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> pick away
[09:27] <rww> Sythe_ZN: Feel free to ask your question without asking to ask your question :)
[09:27] <Sythe_ZN> i'm using 5.10 on an old p2 laptop
[09:27] <Sythe_ZN> the issue is id doesn'h have enough harddrive space to install all the packages
[09:28] <rww> Sythe_ZN: 5.10 hasn't been supported since 2007, and isn't receiving security updates any more. Have you considered installing a newer version?
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> Sythe_ZN: try the minimal ubuntu, or alternative install so you only install what you need
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> Sythe_ZN: how big is your HDD?
[09:28] <demilord_78> try use xfce instead of gnome
[09:29] <Sythe_ZN> well the issue is i'm working on a port for a himalaya so i need kernel 2.6.12
[09:29] <crayvec> will cp -a  overwrite a file?
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> demilord_78: he's low on space for packages, not ram
[09:29] <xiolar> Does anyone know howto start the splashy manager (GUI)?
[09:29] <Sythe_ZN> it's a 3g drive
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> crayvec: man cp
[09:29] <crayvec> thxs ActionParsnip
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> Sythe_ZN: i'd grab xubuntu or use the alternative cd to install
[09:30] <rww> crayvec: yes, it will
[09:30] <Sythe_ZN> when  try a standard install it fails at about 60% of copying ramaining packages
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> !mnimal
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> !minimal
[09:30] <Sythe_ZN> ty ty :)
[09:30] <xiolar> !splashy
[09:31] <crayvec> Cheers rww
[09:31] <Sythe_ZN> i'll have a look in a moment
[09:31] <rww> Sythe_ZN: hrm. The bare minimum recommended requirements for Ubuntu is 4GB. or RAM. Xubuntu uses less hard disk space, and its bare minimum is 1.5GB.
[09:31] <rww> 4GB of hard disk space ** sorry
[09:32] <Sythe_ZN> yeah i know, but being linux it's customisable... surely i can get to a package selection from a base install tho?
[09:32] <daredevilther1> How to  check which deamons are loaded

[09:33] <ziroday> daredevilther1: erm what are you looking for in particular?
[09:33] <xiolar> yes action i seen that
[09:33] <xiolar> but I cant see the icon to start it :(
[09:34] <Sythe_ZN> i don't really need the gui and all the rest... i just need to be able to install ged and be able to mount a usb flashdisk for the moment...
[09:34] <crayvec> Cool the 2man" option is handy
[09:34] <daredevilther1> i want to check in terminal which services are running

[09:34] <ActionParsnip> daredevilther1: ps -ef
[09:34] <xiolar> what do I need 2 type?
[09:34] <Sythe_ZN> at least with that i can det the initrd working how i want it to
[09:34] <xiolar> just splashy?
[09:34] <xiolar> must it echo someting?
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> xiolar: yea, or try splas then press tab a few times

[09:37] <ActionParsnip> daredevilther1: if you try: ps -ef | grep <part of a process name>

[09:38] <Sythe_ZN> you see, i just need this box for working on this project... if u wanna know more see : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaLinuxBooting
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> !label | daredevilther1
[09:39] <daredevilther1> i c them like this DISKVOL1
[09:39] <ziroday> crayvec: of course if you release your code under the GPL you don't have to worry abouyt that
[09:39] <daredevilther1> No not usb drive
[09:39] <rick_w> Anybody on the shutdown window?
[09:39] <crayvec> Yeah i see that , but i see in the its kinda bundled inside the phpmotion archieve download
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> daredevilther1: a partition is a partition
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> daredevilther1: doesnt matter if its scsi or floppy
[09:39] <daredevilther1> renaming regular partation of harddisk
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> daredevilther1: same
[09:39] <ziroday> crayvec: well you need to ask the phpmotion support team about thier product. We do not support that here. Sorry
[09:40] <crayvec> Sorry was a just a shot in the dark Ziroday
[09:40] <daredevilther1> i renamed them in /media but still then i open computer i c them like this DISKVOL1
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> daredevilther1: notice how the factoid says "rename the labels of partitions"
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> daredevilther1: thats just the mount point
[09:40] <rww> daredevilther1: Did you read the link that ubottu sent you? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> daredevilther1: the label is what you need to change using that guide
[09:41] <daredevilther1> alrite thanks let me read the guide
[09:41] <Sythe_ZN> while we're on the topic of usb drives, how do i mount a flash drive from bash?
[09:41] <medb> So far no one in #vbox has been responding, but there's a problem with the gpg key for the ubuntu virtualbox repo. I'm always getting an error from it. Is there a newer gpg key? Or a fix of some kind?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> daredevilther1: in linux, a partition is a partition, whether its usb , sata, pata, scsi
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> daredevilther1: fdisk will just show partitions, its irrelevant where they are accessed as the kernel deals with all that
[09:42] <fuzzy_logic> hey guys
[09:42] <daredevilther1> thanks
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> Sythe_ZN: run sudo fdisk -l
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> Sythe_ZN: that will show the partitions
[09:42] <daredevilther1> i m new new linux thats why not knw so much
[09:42] <fuzzy_logic> can someone give me a url to ubuntu commands?
[09:42] <crayvec> I am impressed with Webmin
[09:42] <Sythe_ZN> i don't have fdisk installed
[09:42] <fuzzy_logic> can someone give me a url to ubuntu commands?  i am new
[09:42] <mib_dtxrrcje> hi .. .Err http://sg.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main Packages                          404 Not Found

[09:43] <crayvec> ebox yeah
[09:43] <mib_dtxrrcje> what should I do?
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> Sythe_ZN: you should do, its a standard command
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> mib_dtxrrcje: are you running feisty?
[09:43] <mib_dtxrrcje> yeah ActionParsnip
[09:43] <Arenlor> fuzzy_logic: what commands in particular?
[09:43] <Sythe_ZN> standard as in?
[09:44] <mib_dtxrrcje> ActionParsnip: if I could upgrade ubuntu I would
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> Sythe_ZN: as in its on all systems, its all in lower case, linux is CaSE SenSItivE
[09:44] <mib_dtxrrcje> ActionParsnip: but dun know how
[09:44] <Sythe_ZN> yeah i know... is it part of the kernel or bash tho?
[09:45] <rww> mib_dtxrrcje: Support for Ubuntu Feisty ended in October and its apt-archive has been moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change references to sg.archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com. Additionally, seriously consider upgrading or reinstalling to a newer version of Ubuntu.
[09:45] <Arenlor> Good Morning/Day/Evening all
[09:45] <rww> !upgrade | mib_dtxrrcje
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> mib_dtxrrcje: you sure it's not:  deb http://sg.archive.ubuntu.com feisty main packages
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> mib_dtxrrcje: can you ping the server?
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | mib_dtxrrcje
[09:45] <crayvec> Can ebox be installed into ubuntu?
[09:45] <rww> ActionParsnip: see my message. Feisty's packages aren't on the normal mirrors any more.
[09:46] <rww> crayvec: looks like there's an ebox package. Try that.
[09:46] <rww> !info ebox | crayvec
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> new nvidia drivers in the updates today
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> yay
[09:47] <crayvec> Nice a package thx rww
[09:47] <Sythe_ZN> hmmm oki... well it's monuted, but now i created directories in the mnt folder for mounting into, how can i remove them?
[09:47] <rww> mib_dtxrrcje: oh, I forgot to mention. Feisty isn't receiving security- or any other updates any more, so the old-releases repository won't be updated, even if you do use it.
[09:48] <Arenlor> Sythe_ZN: rm -rf
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> Sythe_ZN: sudo rm -rf /path/to/folder
[09:48] <rww> Sythe_ZN: check that they're empty and that they're not in the output of "mount", then do "sudo rm -rf /mnt/dirname"
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> Sythe_ZN: make sure nothing is mounted there
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> Sythe_ZN: or it will wipe that too
[09:48] <Sythe_ZN> ah thanx... tba
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> Sythe_ZN: rm -rf is VERY agressive so watch yourself
[09:48] <mib_dtxrrcje> rww: thanks .. update's fixed for nao
[09:49] <LuXor> hey someone tell me a packcage for open arena :))
[09:49] <mib_dtxrrcje> rww: i need to upgrade this server but i'm not the admin
[09:49] <xiolar> Lal Read the "MAN" or clowns will eat you
[09:49] <Arenlor> Sythe_ZN: watch your spaces also, rm -rf / mnt/dir will cause a very bad problem by removing your / directory
[09:49] <rww> !info openarena | LuXor
[09:49] <xiolar> did that xD
[09:49] <LinusU> Ello every1
[09:49] <rww> mib_dtxrrcje: Okay. Just letting you know that upgrading it is a really, really good idea :)
[09:49] <Sythe_ZN> thanx :D i'm working on a clean system so a reinstal isn't the eno of the world
[09:50] <Arenlor> xiolar: what about info?
[09:50] <Sythe_ZN> ah ; i'
[09:50] <bmz> how can I tell which version of ubuntu I have?
[09:50] <Sythe_ZN> *:) i'll keep that in mind
[09:50] <LinusU> uname -r
[09:50] <bmz> is there anything in /etc
[09:50] <rww> !version | bmz
[09:50] <rww> LinusU: that's the kernel version, not the Ubuntu version
[09:50] <crayvec> Yes i did notice Webmin uninstalled phpadmin and repalced it with a boxy looking drab interface
[09:50] <LinusU> sorry uname -o
[09:51] <rww> Arenlor: please refrain from typing dangerous commands in Ubuntu channels, even if you're only using them as examples of what not to do. It's one of those things that tends to be frowned upon.
[09:51] <LinusU> my fault
[09:51] <Sythe_ZN> i generally remove folders with a relative path with the shell in the parent so i don't have to use "/"
[09:51] <xiolar> Ive had it with splashy, going back to usplash lal!
[09:51] <LinusU> dammit that didn't work either, bad me
[09:51] <Sythe_ZN> got it thanx guys
[09:52] <Sythe_ZN> next thing... mounting a loop device
[09:52] <bmz> thanks
[09:52] <Arenlor> rww: sorry about that, just wanted to warn about it, I've done it before
[09:52] <LinusU> mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to.iso /mount/point
[09:52] <rww> Sythe_ZN: sudo mount -o loop <loopback-filename> <mountpoint>
[09:53] <Kartagis> LinusU, you don't need -t iso9960
[09:53] <Kartagis> 9660*
[09:53] <LuXor> rww ok, downloading thanks
[09:53] <LinusU> Kartagis: sorry, thougt so
[09:53] <bmz> is there a bluetooth wizard in hardy?
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> !info bluez

[09:54] <Arenlor> bmz: I think System > Preferences > Bluetooth is in Hardy
 remember me ? :P i have finally connected to internet
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> LuXor: awesome dude, ndiswrapper do you?
[09:55] <Sythe_ZN> it gives me the same error regardless of which loop device i point it to tho
[09:56] <bmz> Arenlor: that is just preferences, no way to pair a device
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> Sythe_ZN: can you pastebin the command and the error please
[09:56] <Sythe_ZN> i'm guessing the initrd is ext3, correct me?

[09:56] <silv3r_m001> hi there
[09:57] <Arenlor> bmz: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/bluez-gnome
[09:58] <rww> Hi silv3r_m001!
[09:58] <Arenlor> hello silv3r_m001
[09:58] <silv3r_m001> i am facing this issue with my networking... when booted into windows the internet works fine but in case of ubuntu it sometimes doesnt work and i have to restart 1 or 2 times
[09:58] <silv3r_m001> why this difference ?
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> silv3r_m001: try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[09:59] <silv3r_m001> yah did it 100 times
[09:59] <Arenlor> silv3r_m001 there are many possibilities, what driver do you use, and what is your chipset?
[09:59] <silv3r_m001> its an intel motherboard
[10:00] <FireFox||> silv3r_m001: i7 core chipset?
[10:01] <Sythe_ZN> http://paste.ubuntu.com/101570/
[10:01] <rww> FireFox||: asking confusing, irrelevant questions probably isn't the best way to help ;)
[10:01] <Arenlor> silv3r_m001: what wireless card do you have?
[10:01] <rww> silv3r_m001: wireless network or ethernet? also, copy the output of "lspci" and "lsusb" terminal commands to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and give us a link to the pastebin page. Those commands will tell us what card you have.
[10:02] <FireFox||> rww: Sorry, I just was interested in the problem. I realise that the qustion is irrelevant but it might be interesting if that was the chipset
[10:02] <silv3r_m001> its ethernet
[10:02] <silv3r_m001> lan internet
[10:03] <silv3r_m001> FireFox||: where can i see the chipset name
[10:03] <silv3r_m001> in kinfocenter in which tab shud it be ?
[10:04] <silv3r_m001> its a 1.7ghz p4 may be intel 810 or 815e something like that
[10:04] <rww> silv3r_m001: open a terminal and type "lspci;lsusb" and copy the output you get to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ , then give us a link to the page it creates. The chipset name is in that output.
[10:06] <silv3r_m001> its here
[10:06] <silv3r_m001> http://paste.ubuntu.com/101573/
[10:07] <silv3r_m001> and the thing is i have 2 broadbands... 1 of them works always fine and the other 1 sometimes stops working and i have to restart... but in windows it always works fine
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> silv3r_m001: you have an ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL
[10:08] <silv3r_m001> thats the graphcis card
[10:09] <silv3r_m001> the ethernet cards are intels
[10:09] <rww> ActionParsnip: the ethernet cards are lines 11 and 12 of that output
[10:09] <Arenlor> silv3r_m001: so one of your ports always works while the other has intermittent problems in Ubuntu, but is fine in Windows correct?
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> rww: oh i thought this was a vga issue
[10:10] <silv3r_m001> Arenlor: yah
[10:10] <Ethos> whats the command to delete all contents of a folder?
[10:10] <Ethos> :)
[10:10] <silv3r_m001> Arenlor: the one which makes problem is a local internet , its on a shared ip ... means the isp put my computer on their LAN
[10:10] <silv3r_m001> rm -rf *.*
[10:11] <Ethos> thanks mate
[10:11] <EdgeX-> Internet Hacking code?
[10:11] <iLogic> hey.. does anyone know why my wlan0 interface doesn't stop when I do a /etc/init.d/networking stop?
[10:11] <mars_> hi
[10:11] <rww> Ethos: rm -rf *
[10:11] <Arenlor> silv3r_m001: what release of Ubuntu do you have?
[10:11] <Ethos> ah
[10:11] <Ethos> excellent thanks rww
[10:11] <silv3r_m001> 8.04
[10:11] <smoppy> hi
[10:11] <silv3r_m001> Arenlor: 8.04 hardy
[10:12] <mars_> i have a problem with grandr. i have a macbook with ubuntu 8.10. when i plug in a monitor and use grandr. i get one of two options.
[10:12] <mayail> anyone know how to install adodb reader in ubuntu
[10:12] <mars_> either i get a mirror of my screens where my monitor has a high resolution. or i get dual monitors with low resolution (which looks awful)
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> !pdf | mayail
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> !info acroread
[10:13] <TwoEqualsTen> mayail, you mean acrobat? You can install it from medibuntu.
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> !info adobereader
[10:13] <TwoEqualsTen> !medibuntu
[10:13] <smoppy> I'm trying to capture video over a Canon MV750i camcorder through the USB cable (i have no 1394 card on my laptop). By googling i found that 99.9% of users uses the Firewire port with kino or dvgrab but i didn't found a way to use the USB connection, yet.
[10:13] <Arenlor> silv3r_m001: do you use DHCP with the LAN?
[10:13] <smoppy> Does anyone have an idea if is it possible to capture video from a VCR through USB?
[10:13] <silv3r_m001> no
[10:14] <silv3r_m001> i put the ip mask and gateway myself
[10:14] <TwoEqualsTen> mayail, enable the repo for medibuntu, then install acroread.
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> rww: it needs the e100 module
[10:14] <mars_> anyone knows how to get different resulotions with dual monitor and grandr?
[10:14] <rww> !medibuntu | mayail

[10:15] <EdgeX-> How does ubuntu go compatibility-wise with TV capture cards?
[10:15] <Arenlor> silv3r_m001: What exactly is occurring when it stops working?
[10:15] <rww> ActionParsnip: I wandered off to do something else. silv3r_m001's the one with the problem :)
[10:15] <silv3r_m001> Arenlor: no pings ... host not found
[10:15] <silv3r_m001> can resolve server
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> silv3r_m001: you need the e100 module
[10:16] <silv3r_m001> e100 ?
[10:16] <silv3r_m001> whats that
[10:16] <Arenlor> silv3r_m001: sounds like DNS maybe
[10:16] <demilord_78> kernel driver module
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> silv3r_m001: its a module file you need to download or compile
[10:16] <demilord_78> sudo modprobe e100
[10:16] <Arenlor> he has it
[10:16] <silv3r_m001> ActionParsnip: can it be done thru synaptic ?
[10:16] <Ethos> whats the easiest way to copy the entire contents of 1 folder to another?
[10:17] <Ethos> command wise
[10:17] <Ethos> CP something :D
[10:17] <demilord_78> man mv
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> silv3r_m001: try the modprobe as demilord_78 says to see if yuo have it already
[10:17] <mcorp> cp -r
[10:17] <demilord_78> cp is copy
[10:17] <silv3r_m001> but i dont understand it works fine 80% of the time... it stops either when the computer is booted and has to be rebooted
[10:17] <demilord_78> mv move
[10:17] <Ethos> ta
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> Ethos: man cp
[10:17] <mcorp> sorry cp -R
[10:17] <EdgeX-> How does ubuntu go compatibility-wise with TV capture cards?
[10:17] <silv3r_m001> ActionParsnip: how to modprobe ?
[10:18] <Arenlor> silv3r_m001: you have e100 already
[10:18] <silv3r_m001> Arenlor: so what next
[10:18] <silv3r_m001> is that the default behaviour
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> silv3r_m001: like demilord_78 said
[10:18] <cwillu> EdgeX-, look up mythbuntu
[10:19] <Ethos> which one :D
[10:19] <cwillu> EdgeX-, not specifically to install it, but whatever it supports, ubuntu will by definition also support
[10:19] <Arenlor> silv3r_m001: when it goes down, can you ping an IP address? Or is the problem only with pinging a domain?
[10:19] <silv3r_m001> Arenlor: i can ping my ip... but the gateways ip >> destination unreachable  and for others host not ofund
[10:20] <EdgeX-> Thanks cwillu
[10:20] <Arenlor> Ethos: to move something use mv, to copy something use cp
[10:20] <Ethos> I need to copy the contents of the folder
[10:20] <Ethos> so another folder, not the folder itself
[10:20] <EdgeX-> cd folder && cp * /somewhere/lol
[10:20] <ActionParsnip> Ethos: where exactly are you copying from / to
[10:21] <Ethos> var\www\html\backup (contents of) to var\www\html :)
[10:21] <rww> Ethos: cp -R /var/www/html/backup/* /var/www/html/
[10:21] <silv3r_m001> hi there... i use this kate and quanta plus and they create too many backups files with this ~
[10:21] <silv3r_m001> how can i delete them ?
[10:22] <Ethos> thanks
[10:22] <EdgeX-> del
[10:22] <rww> silv3r_m001: have you checked in their preferences? GEdit does the same thing by default and has an option to turn it off (which I have >.>); dunno if those programs are similar. As far as removing them, see http://soft.zoneo.net/Linux/remove_backup_files.php
[10:23] <chilli0> rebel_kid: rawr
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> Ethos: you could use gksudo nautilus and copy it with gui
[10:23] <Ethos> no gui :D
[10:23] <silv3r_m001> ActionParsnip: Arenlor : any idea on that lan internet issue
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> Ethos: wise man
[10:23] <Arenlor> silv3r_m001: so you can ping yourself but not any other IP? It definitely sounds like DNS to me
[10:23] <silv3r_m001> is it some problem with the isp which windows is able to tackle and ubuntu doesnt
[10:24] <dichtbijzee> hi. I set up an old compaq e500 with the alternate cd 8.10, I had no network at the time so i chose to configure it later. now i do have network. but ifconfig shows no eth0 while /etc/network/interfaces does.
[10:24] <silv3r_m001> Arenlor: even if its a dns issue then i shud be able to ping the ip of my gateway
[10:24] <silv3r_m001> it appears as if on some boots ubuntu is not able to bring up that interafece
[10:24] <rww> Arenlor: If pinging IP addresses is failing, it has nothing to do with DNS. DNS resolves hostnames to IP addresses; it isn't used if the computer already /has/ the IP address.
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> Ethos: sudo cp -R /var/www/html/backup/* /var/www/html
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> Ethos: i'd make a test folder first
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> Ethos: and run a similar command
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> Ethos: make sure it does exactly what you need
[10:25] <rebel_kid> im having a bit of trouble with 8.10, it picks up my wireless network and i enter the code, it attempts to connect and then brings me back to the wireless password dialog, when i check show password it gives me something like b30f9e16fe771c1eaeec8b83eab9eec315882dc3dd924b144a61abe7a66c59b1 which is definitely not my password
[10:26] <Arenlor> silv3r_m001: do you get anything in the system log?
[10:26] <Ethos> thanks ActionParsnip :)
[10:26] <chilli0> rebel_kid:  i had that two , just delete it then put in urs again and it should work
[10:26] <Arenlor> rebel_kid: actually that IS your password
[10:27] <rebel_kid> chilli0, i did that... i do troubleshoot :)
[10:27] <rebel_kid> arenlor, hashed or something?
[10:27] <chilli0> rebel_kid:  its ur password
[10:27] <Arenlor> rebel_kid: what card are you using, a broadcom 43xx?
[10:27] <rww> rebel_kid: yeah
[10:27] <rebel_kid> arenlor, not sure, its built into an hp laptop
[10:27] <silv3r_m001> Arenlor: where can i get the system log
[10:27] <dichtbijzee> looks hashed to me, my 4895agn does that as well
[10:27] <silv3r_m001> ?
[10:27] <chilli0> rebel_kid:  hp eww
[10:28] <demilord_78> hp is ok, acer is :-<

[10:28] <VSpike> My old ATI card is an X850 (or R420 core) - I am currently using a newer nVidia card but was just wondering about the state of ATI drivers now.  AIUI there are radeon, radeonhd and fglrx drivers, is that correct?  But does radeonhd support my older card?  Will it ever? And what state is it in at the moment?
[10:28] <rebel_kid> chilli0, i didnt buy it... trust me i would never buy something with a made for windows vista sticker on it :)
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> demilord_78: acer man eee pc
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> no tats asus
[10:28] <rebel_kid> Arenlor, any advice?
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> acer have the mini one or something
[10:28] <chilli0> rebel_kid:  i was gonna say, u were having a go at me for getting one with windows on it lol
[10:28] <VSpike> ActionParsnip: acer aspire one
[10:28] <demilord_78> no acer uses empowering technology wich is evil
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> oh only lots
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> ibm ftw
[10:29] <rebel_kid> chilli0, i had a friend burn the sticker off with a laser... it wouldnt come off
[10:29] <silv3r_m001> Arenlor: i am on kdea
[10:29] <silv3r_m001> kde*
[10:29] <chilli0> lol
[10:29] <kashanki> when i start the internet conection and open mozilla, mozilla it is always in off line mode, how do i set it to on line ?
[10:29] <chilli0> rebel_kid:  let me get u link for a sec
[10:29] <Arenlor> rebel_kid: can you create a pastebin of the commands "lspci && lsusb" and post the link here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[10:29] <rww> VSpike: You missed one: there's a driver called "ati" too. As far as support... I have only a few problems (Radeon HD 3450) and from what I hear, I'm lucky.
[10:30] <EdgeX-> rebel_kid> chilli0, i had a friend burn the sticker off with a laser... it wouldnt come off  <--ROFL

[10:30] <VSpike> rww: oh yeah forgot about ati :)
[10:30] <dichtbijzee> hi. I set up an old compaq e500 with the alternate cd 8.10, I had no network at the time so i chose to configure it later. now i do have network. but ifconfig shows no eth0 while /etc/network/interfaces does.

[10:30] <rebel_kid> Arenlor, http://pastebin.com/m4c5ae772
[10:30] <VSpike> rww: I know that one def doesn't support this card though!
[10:31] <Arenlor> silv3r_m001: I'm not sure if there is a GUI for it in KDE, the logs are /var/logs/syslog amongst others in /var/logs
[10:31] <rebel_kid> EdgeX, windows is crippling and insulting to the world of computers, it would have taken a lot of money to make me keep that sticker
[10:31] <|timgws|> How do I do a command as root?
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> dichtbijzee: run lspci and you can websearch for the network chip/s you have
[10:31] <rebel_kid> |timgws|, sudo
[10:31] <rww> |timgws|: sudo commandname
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> |timgws|: sudo for cli, gksudo for gui apps
[10:32] <|timgws|> thanks, forgot about that :)
[10:32] <rebel_kid> chilli0, cool that could cover the burn marks
[10:32] <chilli0> yups
[10:32] <mayail> i'l see iedibuntu then what i do to install adodb reader
[10:32] <chilli0> im gonna get one soon
[10:32] <mayail> i'l see medibuntu then what i do to install adodb reader
[10:33] <rww> VSpike: fglrx claims to support "Radeon X800", which I assume includes X850. The "radeonhd" drivers only supports r5xx and r6xx cores, not r4xx.
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> mayail: add the repos, sudo apt-get update; apt-cache search adobe | grep -i pdf
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> mayail: and install the package it comes up with, xpdf and gpdf are fine too and open source

[10:34] <vds> hi all/j #reflab
[10:34] <VSpike> rww: right, that's what it looks like.  Shame.. it was fglrx that drove me to buy an nvidia card :) I was weighing up the state of ati drivers now to find out if buggy nvidia drivers could drive me to plug the ATi back in :)
[10:34] <silv3r_m001> Arenlor: in windows i had to do a setting called half duplex for that particular connection
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> VSpike: i only buy nvidia
[10:35] <silv3r_m001> how can i do the same in linux ?
[10:35] <rrykua> Hello, I need help with my Aetheros wireless (with Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1CG).
[10:35] <rrykua> I read few manuals online however none of these worked (either package not found or compilation problem).
[10:35] <rrykua> It also looks like it's already installed with "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-22-generic", however I cannot understand how to access list of wireless networks and to connect to them.
[10:35] <rrykua> I am a newbie to Ubuntu (installed it as dual-boot with Windows Vista) and may need detailed instruction
[10:35] <FloodBot1> rrykua: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:35] <rww> VSpike: yeah, fglrx isn't fun to set up, especially if you dislike closed-source and therefore have a bad taste in your mouth the whole time >.>
[10:35] <rebel_kid> im having a bit of trouble with 8.10, it picks up my wireless network and i enter the code, it attempts to connect and then brings me back to the wireless password dialog, when i check show password it gives me something like b30f9e16fe771c1eaeec8b83eab9eec315882dc3dd924b144a61abe7a66c59b1 which is definitely not my password
[10:35] <Dexi> hey guys what time is it?
[10:35] <rww> Dexi: in which time zone?
[10:35] <VSpike> Dexi: where?
[10:35] <Dexi> doesnt matter ill translate
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: install vista and leave space for linux unpartitioned, when you install linux, the dual boot will be handled for you
[10:35] <Arenlor> rebel_kid: can you connect to any networks?
[10:35] <rww> Dexi: 10:35am UTC
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> rww: not GMT? its 10:35am here too :)
[10:36] <rebel_kid> Arenlow, attempting to connect to stupid windows neighbors unsecured wifi ;)
[10:36] <rrykua> ActionParsnip: i installed Ubuntu already... i can connect to wired networks, but not to wireless
[10:36] <Dexi> rww: thanks
[10:36] <rebel_kid> Arenlor ^^
[10:36] <Dexi> my phones wrong :(
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: use the wired to fully update your system
[10:37] <rww> ActionParsnip: There are ridiculously technical differences between GMT and UTC, but generally, they're the same.
[10:37] <VSpike> rww: It just crashed a lot when doing user switces and stuff like that.  Also crashed when running vmware. also sucked at video playback etc. was generally a horrible experience.
[10:37] <rebel_kid> Arenlor, negative, no wifi whatsoever
[10:37] <VSpike> rww: this was a few year back though! I'm sure it's pure loveliness by now
[10:37] <rrykua> ActionParsnip: i did install all updates (similar to Windows Update), however it still doesn't work
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> rww: as long as I dont miss my bus I'm a winner
[10:37] <Arenlor> silv3r_m001: check out http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-change-the-speed-and-duplex-settings-of-an-ethernet-card/
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: then run lspci and lsusb, one will show you yuor wifi chip. you can websearch on how to set it up using the wired link
[10:38] <rww> VSpike: haha. Well, it doesn't actually crash my system so much any more, but it's still a recurrent pain in the backside :(
[10:38] <rrykua> ActionParsnip: Is there any way of remote assistance (like VNC or Remote Desktop), so you can check what's wrong here?
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: do you have a router?
[10:38] <HellFire-Au> hi guys, i have fuppes running on an ubuntu machine with both wireless and wired interface. I need to have the listen port for the web server component set to the wired interface. Any possible way i can access the web config page from the wireless side of things? (I have tried port forwarding on the ubuntu machine but that breaks the fuppes functionality on the ethernet side)
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: if you run lspci and lsusb you will get output about your hardware, websearch for the line that relates to your wifi
[10:39] <rrykua> ActionParsnip: Yes I do - I have wifi router. What's lspci, lsusb?
[10:39] <VSpike> rww: well I currenly have an nvidia bug with compiz .. and the answer is always "upgrade to the latest beta".  But usually on checking the forums you'll find some really nasty sounding problems with it like massive memory leaks or similar. So you always seem to lurch from one bug to the next.  But it does work reasonably well most of the time, and doesn't seem to crash at least
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: they are terminal commands
[10:41] <rrykua> ActionParsnip: Okay. Here I've got my wireless card: 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Unknown device 002a (rev 01)
[10:41] <Arenlor> rebel_kid: I had the same problem with my wireless card, try running lshw -C network and post the results to pastebin
[10:41] <rrykua> ActionParsnip: Does that means it is installed normally?
[10:41] <Arenlor> rrykua: lspci LiSt PCI and lsusb is LiSt USB
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: no, its just the chip telling you what it is
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: now you know what it is you can research
[10:42] <fasta> How can I enable the virtual consoles? It seems that they are disabled by default?
[10:43] <fasta> I.e., s.t. Cont-Alt-F1 works.
[10:43] <rrykua> ActionParsnip: But I did knew name of my card before. How do I install a driver for it? And how do I check it works at all? Where can I check for a list of wireless networks or smth similar?
[10:43] <HellFire-Au> hi guys, i have fuppes running on an ubuntu machine with both wireless and wired interface.

[10:43] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: you can check if its already working with: sudo iwlist scan
[10:43] <rebel_kid> Arenlor, http://pastebin.com/m421b0fa9
[10:44] <rrykua> ActionParsnip: no. there are only lo and eth0
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: you may know then name of the card but linux may see it different, it also gives you something you can copy / paste to websearches to get precise info

[10:44] <rrykua> how do I configure it? Is there any manual?

[10:45] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: what is the 1 line output for your wireless card
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: you can copy / paste from terminal
[10:45] <rrykua> ActionParsnip: tried to google it, found few manuals, none of them worked unfortunately. That's why I'm here. Which line?
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: the line in the lspci output that names your wireless chip

[10:46] <tipote> Hi all ! I've been writing an app to do real-time audio spectrogram (purpose is large hall equalization - it is written in python+numpy+pyaudio+Qt+Qwt). I am looking for a name, and was thinking ubuntu users may be able to tell me is "friture" is ok in english ? "friture" is a french word whose first meaning is "frying", but it is also used in popular language to mean "noise" or "cracks" in a sound. Does it feel good for an app name in english ?

[10:52] <Voziv> Hello, How would I make a "fake" cdrom drive in ubuntu? I'm booting the ubuntu-server 8.10 install disk off of a USB drive and it keeps coming up with an error of "Cannot find installation cdrom"
[10:52] <rrykua> ActionParsnip: installed them... i'm leaving now... thanks for help... hope to see you in 1 hour
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> Voziv: if its when you update / install, try removing the cd from your /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:53] <dichtbijzee> hi again, if i get network DISABLED when i do lshw, how do i enable it. i tried modprobe e100 (the driver for the card)
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> Voziv: you can always mount the cdrom iso as the cd as you say, you can mount any iso anywhere
[10:53] <Voziv> ActionParsnip::: I haven'nt installed anything yet, I'm just at the installation menu, I can go into a shell if needed, but I'm not sure how to make a "fake cdrom" as i've read
[10:54] <jaapvisser> dichtbijzee (zandvoort) try : sudo /etc/network/interfaces start
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> Voziv: sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 -o loop
[10:55] <dichtbijzee> jaapvisser, did that, al gedaan ;)
[10:55] <Voziv> ActionParsnip::: Could I do something of that sort, pointing it to my usb stick?
[10:55] <Arenlor> rebel_kid: just did a lot of research on your problem try this "sudo modprobe iwl4965" and see if you can connect after that
[10:56] <ntr> Just installed ubuntu 8.10.  And i've got some problem with the internet connection. Only a few websites work, and only ocationally. Most websites won't load at all. (i have'nt search much on the ubuntu sites cos this is the only i have and the ubuntu sites won't load.)
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> Voziv: sure, just replace /dev/cdrom with the partition name of the usb stick, sudo fdisk -l will show you its name
[10:56] <Voziv> ActionParsnip::: Thanks, I'll let you know how it turns out :)
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> !mount | Voziv
[10:57] <Arenlor> ntr: can you open a terminal Applications > Accessories > Terminal and try pinging one of the sites that don't work?
[10:59] <Voziv> fdisk -l Doesn't work when in the installer shell :/
[11:00] <onetinsoldier> Voziv: how about parted -l ?
[11:00] <rww> Voziv: have you tried it with "sudo" in front of it?
[11:00] <Voziv> I'll try both suggestions
[11:01] <groundup> I am trying to do what is said here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 because I have static that won't go away over my laptop speakers and when I plug my headphones in no sound at all.
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> Voziv: i explicitly stated sudo
[11:01] <Voziv> No luck with parted -l and placing "sudo" infront, it returns /bin/sh "parted" not found
[11:01] <groundup> It keeps saying "Connecting failed: connection refused" which I think is probably due to the static. I just can't figure out how to stop the static.
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> Voziv: only root can use sudo
[11:02] <onetinsoldier> Voziv: sorry, i don't know then
[11:02] <Voziv> onetinsoldier::: thanks
[11:02] <Voziv> ActionParsnip::: by the looks of it, I can't use sudo
[11:02] <Arenlor> ActionParsnip: no sudo is how a normal user runs a command as root
[11:02] <dichtbijzee> hi again, if i get network DISABLED when i do lshw, how do i enable it. i tried modprobe e100 (the driver for the card)
[11:02] <rww> ActionParsnip: sudo in the LiveCD (I assume that's what "installer shell" means?) works without prompting for a password
[11:02] <dichtbijzee> rww, yes
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> Arenlor: Voziv: my bad, its been a long day
[11:02] <Voziv> rww::: I'm using the ubuntu-server iso

[11:06] <rww> mrglinux: it appears to be included in the apache2 package, but is disabled by default.
[11:06] <Voziv> Would my USB key that im booting from, would it be seen as a /dev/usb device, or a /dev/sda
[11:06] <rww> mrglinux: see http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-7304.html ; not sure if the procedure's changed since 2005 though >.>
[11:07] <Arenlor> w00b3: try sudo srm -vr /media/disk-1
[11:07] <rww> Voziv: /dev/sda
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> Voziv: it'll be /dev/sda1
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> Voziv: /dev/sda is a physical disk you can hold and touch, /dev/sda1 is the first partition on /dev/sda
[11:08] <Voziv> Ok, I will try mounting that
[11:09] <jaapvisser> mrglinux indeed mod_rewrite is enabled by default edit your httpd.conf to activate it like: LoadModule mod_rewrite /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so
[11:09] <w00b3> Arenlor, http://paste.ubuntu.com/101593/
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> Voziv: if thats what the partition is called
[11:10] <mrglinux> jaapvisser yes .. my problem solved i look for mod_rewrite name exactly but that name was rewrite and i enabled it

[11:11] <Arenlor> w00b3: try to umount it first
[11:11] <onetinsoldier> ntr: are you using a router?
[11:11] <w00b3> i did
[11:11] <w00b3> then it says it doesnt exist
[11:12] <Osaris> hi how can i concatinate 2 strings in the shell example echo "hello this is host" + 'hostname'   (the hostname part i want it to use the hostname command to display the machine hostname. exmaple Hello this is host noobbuntu
[11:13] <Arenlor> w00b3: try the command mount and see what it actually is you'll have a line like: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk-1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
[11:13] <rww> Osaris: that particular example can be done with: echo "Hello this is host `hostname`" (` is the key to the left of 1 on US keyboards)
[11:13] <Arenlor> Osaris you can try the cat command
[11:13] <w00b3> Arenlor, what???
[11:14] <ntr> onetinsoldier yes. in a network with a Mac and two Win PCs
[11:14] <Osaris> aah thanx cause i saw a example and instead i used ' (to the right of the keyboard)  thanx so much
[11:15] <onetinsoldier> ntr: router configuration or whatever is probably the problem
[11:15] <Voziv> Ugh, still no luck
[11:15] <Arenlor> w00b3: run "sudo mount", you'll get a list of all mounted file systems, one of them will say something like /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk-1, you need to know what the /dev/sd*# part is
[11:15] <Voziv> Any suggestions on installing ubuntu server without a cdrom?
[11:15] <rww> Voziv: USB install, maybe?
[11:15] <iLogic> man.. ubuntu's network management is weird
[11:15] <rww> !usb | Voziv
[11:16] <Voziv> I followed that, and it's where I'm stuck right now :(
[11:16] <iLogic> why doesn't /etc/init.d/networking seem to affect wlan0 interface?
[11:17] <Sythe_ZN> can anyone help me mount my initrd image for editing?
[11:17] <rww> iLogic: /etc/init.d/networking only deals with network interfaces listed in /etc/network/interfaces. wlan0 is usually dealt with by Network Manager, and therefore isn't in the interfaces file by default.
[11:17] <Arenlor> w00b3: never mind just thought, are you trying to clear the contents of the USB drive?
[11:17] <w00b3> yes Arenlor
[11:17] <w00b3> its dev/sdb1
[11:18] <rww> Sythe_ZN: can you link me to that page you got the initrd image from? I'll have a go at it.
[11:18] <Arenlor> w00b3: try "srm -r /dev/sdb1/*"
[11:18] <sumit> please suggest me a GUI based lightweight internet browser for my Ubuntu actually I have p-3  256 MB
[11:18] <Sythe_ZN> sure... http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaLinuxBooting
[11:18] <nsadmin> rww kernel packages build initrd images when installed
[11:19] <Arenlor> w00b3: note, it could take a very long time based on how fast your computer is and how much data there is to delete
[11:19] <nnull> !rar
[11:19] <w00b3> Error: File /dev/sdb1/* - Not a directory
[11:19] <Sythe_ZN> it's the 2.6.12 kernel and initrd
[11:19] <rww> nsadmin: I'm aware of that :)
[11:20] <nsadmin> ok, good enough...
[11:20] <iLogic> rww: i get that.. but when I try to add the same config from network manager on /etc/network/interfaces and restart networking it doesn't work
[11:20] <Sythe_ZN> i think the issue is the kernel's compiled for an ARM processor
[11:20] <onetinsoldier> ntr: you aren't getting packets forwarded to you properly from the router. either the router isn't configured correctly, or your LAN IP/Config isn't set up quite right in Ubuntu to receive the packets properly. find out the LAN IP of the MAC and WIN machines and make sure you're not stealing their LAN IP
[11:21] <w00b3> Arenlor,
[11:21] <rww> Sythe_ZN: where on that page does it say to mount anything? I'm confused...
[11:21] <iLogic> rww: the thing is.. every night I leave my box up for grabbing torrents, but when I check it in the morning, the network has disconnected.. so I try to use a script to ping the access point and restart networking if it's down..
[11:21] <Sythe_ZN> it doesn't... that's the point
[11:22] <rebel_kid> Arenlor, ty for the help but it didnt work, im moving to debian anyway, ubuntu was great for me in the newb days but tis time to remove the training wheels
[11:22] <iLogic> but doesn't work if I can't use networking :(
[11:22] <rww> Sythe_ZN: Okay. So why are you trying to mount it?
[11:22] <jaapvisser> iLogic is your passphrase in /etc/networking/interfaces
[11:22] <Arenlor> w00b3: try "cd /media/disk-1" then "srm -r *"
[11:22] <Sythe_ZN> i need to mount it in a loop device so that i can edit it
[11:22] <JimmyDee> mornin
[11:22] <rww> iLogic: Can you copy your /etc/network/interfaces file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ (replace any passwords in it with <password> or something)?
[11:22] <mikkr> How do I allow my user to edit /var/www without doing sudo every time?
[11:22] <Sythe_ZN> i can't edit it from the device because i'm not getting a terminal and i don
[11:23] <Sythe_ZN> 't have a keyboard interface
[11:23] <JimmyDee> sorry I came in late but I might can help sythe

[11:23] <Deadboys> groundup try a diffrent audio driver
[11:23] <jaapvisser> mikkr change the permissions user/group (chmod) so /var/www  is readable and editable by your users
[11:24] <Arenlor> w00b3: try using sudo with both commands
[11:24] <w00b3> sudo doesnt work
[11:24] <mikkr> jaapvisser: and that's ok from a security perspective?
[11:24] <JimmyDee> chmod +x www-data /wherever
[11:24] <iLogic> rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/101600/
[11:25] <jaapvisser> well that depends.....  dont know about your setup and users
[11:25] <JimmyDee> sorry sudo chmod +x www-data /wherever
[11:25] <rww> Sythe_ZN: From the looks of it, you're not supposed to mount it and edit it. You're supposed to recompile it. Have you tried asking about this on that site's forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/)?
[11:25] <Arenlor> w00b3: "sudo cd /media/disk-1" doesn't work?
[11:25] <mikkr> jaapvisser: It's on my vps. There's a root of course. And my own account, 'mikker'

[11:28] <harioum> sumit, what u mean
[11:28] <rww> Sythe_ZN: well, I guess work with the documentation you have. There's a little in point 2 about recompiling the image from source. Unfortunately, since 1) you're using an unsupported version of Ubuntu, and 2) your problem is unrelated to Ubuntu, I'm not sure that we'll be able to help much :(
[11:28] <sumit> harioum,  i mein nothing now it is working

[11:32] <froggerBob> Hi, I got this problem where every TCP connection just stalls until timing out every few minutes. it's becoming impossible to download large files.
[11:32] <rww> iLogic: Network Manager's supposed to get out of the way of devices using /etc/network/interfaces, I think
[11:33] <rww> iLogic: try "sudo ifup -v wlan0". That should give more information.
[11:33] <iLogic> hold on.. will try

[11:33] <Deadboys> how do i load a module to my kernel?
[11:33] <Deadboys> oops sorry for the repete
[11:33] <Deadboys> repeat*
[11:33] <rprettyman> modprobe $MODULENAME
[11:33] <rprettyman> Dead boy modprobe $MODULENAME
[11:33] <rprettyman> m/b
[11:34] <rww> Deadboys: sudo modprobe modulename. That'll load it until you remove it (sudo modprobe -r modulename) or restart.
[11:34] <w00b3> Arenlor, NO
[11:34] <Deadboys> what directory do i put the module in?
[11:34] <a_ok> onetinsoldier, i am mainly interested in the ubuntu versions so the security fixes etc
[11:34] <w00b3> how do i get out of root
[11:34] <rprettyman> woob3 "exit"
[11:34] <Arenlor> w00b3: just type exit
[11:34] <chickenflu> exit
[11:34] <rww> Deadboys: oh, it's not a module that's included in the Ubuntu kernel?
[11:35] <onetinsoldier> a_ok: otherwise, you could look into installing 'apt-listchanges' or going to http://packages.ubuntu.com/<package>
[11:35] <w00b3> does anyone here know how to use srm?
[11:35] <Deadboys> yeah rww
[11:35] <onetinsoldier> a_ok: and that's about all i can suggest
[11:35] <a_ok> onetinsoldier, thanks that wil do :)
[11:36] <rww> Deadboys: what's the name of the module?
[11:36] <rprettyman> Deadboy, sudo modprobe rww
[11:36] <froggerBob> #linux
[11:36]  * rww doesn't want to be modprobed >.>
[11:36] <onetinsoldier> a_ok: roger :-)

[11:36] <Deadboys> ipv6
[11:36] <rprettyman> lol
[11:36] <rww> Deadboys: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[11:36] <Deadboys> 8.10
[11:37] <Deadboys> server
[11:37] <Deadboys> cli
[11:37] <rww> Deadboys: Hrm. Have you tried just doing "sudo modprobe ipv6"? The ipv6 module is packaged with Intrepid kernels.
[11:37] <froggerBob> Hi, I got this problem where every few minutes all TCP connections just drop in unison. what might be the problem?
[11:38] <Deadboys> rww i have a custom kernel
[11:38] <Deadboys> and yeah ive tried
[11:39] <rprettyman> recompile ith with ipv6 support
[11:39] <rprettyman> its better then trying to add a module, when you could just have it in the kernel
[11:39] <aprilhare> best way to test ipv6 is to try out miredo
[11:40] <Deadboys> i cant rprettyman
[11:41] <rprettyman> did you compile the custom kernel, better yet, why do you need a custom kernel, if you don't mind me asking
[11:41] <Deadboys> its for a vps i have
[11:41] <Deadboys> where i have no control of the kernel
[11:41] <rprettyman> oh, so its  a remote server
[11:41] <Deadboys> yes
[11:41] <Deadboys> and i need to add ipv6 support to it
[11:41] <Deadboys> via a tunnel
[11:41] <rprettyman> does your host even provide routing support for ipv6
[11:42] <Deadboys> no
[11:42] <Deadboys> thats why im going to be using a tunnel
[11:42] <aprilhare> try miredo first deadboys
[11:42] <rprettyman> then your better off not using it, it won't work if it won't tunnel out of their datacenter
[11:42] <aprilhare> sudo apt-get install miredo
[11:42] <Deadboys> aprilhare what is miredo
[11:42] <rww> !info miredo | Deadboys
[11:43] <rww> Deadboys: use miredo as aprilhare's saying... and next time you come in here with a kernel-related question, consider letting us know that you're using a non-Ubuntu kernel from the start.
[11:43] <aprilhare> yeah, that
[11:43] <Deadboys> i installed miredo but i have no idea how to use it
[11:43] <eax> Does anyone know how I set a Wireless Prism card in promisc mode?
[11:43] <Deadboys> im not too linux savy
[11:44] <aprilhare> Deadboys, once installed you are using it
[11:44] <aprilhare> Deadboys, try pointing firefox to http://ipv6.google.com/
[11:44] <Deadboys> im on a remote server aprilhare
[11:44] <Deadboys> doesnt have firefox
[11:44] <Deadboys> ill try to ping it though
[11:44] <aprilhare> ping -6 it then
[11:45] <Deadboys> i know :)
[11:46] <aprilhare> Deadboys, how did you go
[11:46] <Deadboys> ping: invalid option -- '6'
[11:46] <aprilhare> ping6
[11:46] <aprilhare> use command ping6
[11:47] <Deadboys> unknown host
[11:47] <Deadboys> because i dont have the ipv6 module
[11:47] <rprettyman> deadboys does your DNS server have IPv6 support?
[11:47] <Deadboys> i dont think so
[11:47] <rprettyman> then you can't use it
[11:47] <Louando> i want to change traffic from 192.168.1.22 to go out a gateway which is not the default
[11:47] <Louando> can i do that?
[11:48] <fasta> When I want to install nvidia-glx-180 (or any other version) Ubuntu wants to delete the xserver. Why?
[11:48] <rprettyman> you won't resolve to an ipv6 address if your DNS server doesn't know what ipv6 is
[11:48] <rprettyman> dig domainname
[11:48] <rprettyman> ifconfig|grep ipv6
[11:49] <Deadboys> how come i cant uninstall miredo now
[11:49] <Deadboys> i tried apt-get remove miredo
[11:49] <Deadboys> not working
[11:49] <aprilhare> try doing this sudo /etc/init.d/miredo restart
[11:49] <aprilhare> first
[11:49] <Dexi> holy crap
[11:49] <Dexi> thats the biggest split ive ever seen
[11:49] <aprilhare> all hail crap
[11:49] <Dexi> haha :p
[11:49] <Deadboys> sudo: /ect/init.d/miredo: command not found
[11:49] <jrib> Deadboys: how did you install miredo?
[11:50] <Deadboys> apt-get install miredo
[11:50] <Dexi> g'night all
[11:50] <aprilhare> Deadboys, etc not ect
[11:50] <jrib> Deadboys: pastebin 'apt-cache policy miredo'
[11:50] <Deadboys> oh duh
[11:50] <colton_> If I installed emacs on my pc via sinaptec and I wanted to gain access to the folder "emacs/lisp/. . ." Where could this folder be found?
[11:50] <Deadboys> anyways i got it removed
[11:50] <Deadboys> nvm
[11:51] <colton_> That is, where would synaptec install such a folder?
[11:51] <jrib> colton_: why do you want access to it?
[11:51] <colton_> I want to add a mode
[11:51] <rprettyman> Deadboys: you could always apt-get install tightvncserver fluxbox xorg
[11:51] <rprettyman> Deadboys: if you wanted to have a graphical interface on your vpn
[11:52] <jrib> colton_: you would probably use the corresponding directory in your HOME, ~/.emacs/lisp most likely.  I don't use emacs, so double check with the documentation
[11:52] <Deadboys> rprettyman i know but i dont mind cli
[11:52] <MaxFrames> hello, happy new year
[11:53] <colton_> There is no such folder in home. Let's say I installed something else, like code::blocks, or notepad, or whatever, isn't there a default location where such folders could be found and modified?
[11:53] <jrib> colton_: you create it
[11:53] <zeno> how do i restart all sound stuff?
[11:53] <rprettyman> whereis program
[11:54] <rprettyman> alsa reload
[11:54] <jrib> colton_: there is, but it's system-wide.  You use your ~ to do these things you are asking about usually
[11:54] <rprettyman> zeno: /\
[11:55] <jrib> colton_: reading the emacs manual, ~/.emacs.d/lisp is now more likely
[11:56] <zeno> rprettyman: thanks
[11:56] <rprettyman> zeno: np
[11:57] <jrib> colton_: here's a blog talking about one such setup http://www.emacsblog.org/2007/10/07/declaring-emacs-bankruptcy/, however I can't find the relevant info in the manual
[11:59] <akhil_> I am implementing a checker which checks for the no of character changes from file1 to file2. Can I use grep to do that?
[11:59] <colton_> thx
[12:00] <jrib> akhil_: my first guess would be diff, but I've only seen that show differences line-by-line.  You would have to check if it can report differences character-by-character
[12:00] <onetinsoldier> akhil_: i'm not sure what your trying to do exactly... but it sounds more like something for either the 'wc' command(wc -m) or the diff command
[12:01] <onetinsoldier> wc -m --> print the character counts
[12:01] <akhil_> I am trying something similar to edit distance
[12:02] <tuchha12> when shokwave will be available fot ubuntu?
[12:03] <SlimeyPete> ask adobe
[12:03] <aprilhare> shocking
[12:03] <zeno> rprettyman: still getting this error http://pastebin.ca/1302678
[12:03] <jrib> tuchha12: if you really must use it, you can install it in firefox running through wine
[12:03] <groundup> ugh, this is so annoying. Two days ago I installed Ibex and the sound was working fine (it was working fine in Hardy as well). Last night I tried to put my headphones in and it wouldn't play anything through the headphones. So, I started tinkering with sound settings. Now, all I get is static from the speakers and headphones still don't work. So, in order not to go insane, I keep the...
[12:03] <groundup> ...headphones plugged in so I don't hear the white noise. I can change the volume by going to volume controls dropping down to the SigmaTel device and changing the "in-gain" and volume to mute. Other than that, nothing else works. I did a sound test and I can faintly hear the sounds from the test behind the static.

[12:04] <jrib> groundup: create a new user
[12:04] <rprettyman> zeno if that doesn't work, give me the out put for lsmod|grep snd
[12:04] <groundup> jrib, I would rather fix the problem than to just go around it.
[12:05] <jrib> groundup: it's probably easier to start from working sound and then getting the headphones to work, rather than starting with completely broken sound
[12:05] <jrib> groundup: anyway, this ensures that it really is due to the customizations you made as well
[12:05] <rprettyman> groundup: try oss to get better quality but it doesn't support multichannel, so only one audio source at a time
[12:06] <rprettyman> groundup: but no clicking or whitenoise, in most cases
[12:06] <zeno> rprettyman: http://pastebin.ca/1302679
[12:06] <rprettyman> groundup: if that doesn't work, what sound card are you using
[12:06] <groundup> I just want to revert the changes.
[12:06] <groundup> realtek
[12:06] <groundup> I want to at least get my speakers working. From there, I can figure out the headphone issues
[12:07] <groundup> anything is better than listening to this blasted static
[12:07] <jrib> groundup: creating the new user will do that.  Deleting the appropriate gconf keys will probably do the same, but I have no idea what they are
[12:07] <zeno> rprettyman: problem started after a java application quit unexpectedly, although killall java does nothing

[12:08] <jrib> tuchha12: #ubuntu-offtopic for discussion of operating systems please
[12:08] <onetinsoldier> groundup: sounds like a sticky wicket. you could do something like, 'purging' all pulseaudio and alsa packages from your system, then installing them again. but then, it's possible there are more sound packages than just pulseaudio and alsa.
[12:08] <groundup> I guess I need to kill chatzilla
[12:09] <rominta> hey all, is there a reason i cant use chroot on the new live cd
[12:09] <groundup> I killed speaker-test a long time ago. Not sure why that would still be open.
[12:09] <Svenstaro> rominta, you can, I just repaired a system with that.
[12:09] <jrib> groundup: by "tinkering with sound settings" did you touch any files outside your home or edit anything with sudo?
[12:09] <groundup> jrib: no
[12:10] <onetinsoldier> groundup: lsof | grep speaker
[12:10] <jrib> groundup: then purging packages won't help.  Just create the new user to see if that resolves the issue, then find the specific gconf keys on your account if you want...

[12:11] <groundup> onetinsoldier: I got a couple of lines back
[12:12] <rominta> must be somthing i am doing wrong then, i get the error can not find /bin/bash
[12:12] <onetinsoldier> groundup: ahh, roger
[12:12] <groundup> http://pastebin.com/d529473e
[12:12] <jrib> rominta: well what are you chrooting to?
[12:12] <rominta> or if i try it without sudo chroot, i get the error no such file or directory and its defo there
[12:13] <jrib> rominta: try *what* exactly?
[12:13] <rominta> a partition or a harddrive sdsa or sda1
[12:13] <rominta> sda or sda1
[12:13] <jrib> rominta: and /media/sda1/bin/bash exists there?
[12:14] <rominta> i tryed mounting it first i.e /media/disk (which is really /dev/sda)
[12:14] <groundup> okay, well, I guess I will be back
[12:14] <jrib> rominta: ok, does /media/disk/bin/bash exist then...?
[12:14] <rominta> are is that what i am doing wrong i need a bash shell on there i will try that
[12:15] <MOUD> Hey all
[12:15] <jrib> rominta: why do you want to do this?
[12:15] <onetinsoldier> groundup: i am not sure what to make of your pastebin. some sort of permission problem obviously. perhaps i should run speakertest and then do the lsof command and see if i get the same thing back
[12:15] <javagamer> I did some tunneling a while ago for a guest OS and now I'm trying to set it back.  Think I have a proper interfaces file, but when I restart networking it doesn't seem to like it, is there anything else I have to change back?
[12:16] <rominta> trying to install rEFit or lilo on over the MBR or the partition
[12:16] <jrib> rominta: you have OS X?
[12:16] <MOUD> What's a good program that can run windows programs?
[12:16] <rprettyman> wine
[12:16] <rominta> yes but i am using a vm to test it first
[12:16] <jrib> !wine > MOUD
[12:16] <rprettyman> MOUD wind
[12:16] <rominta> parralles
[12:16] <groundup> okay, still get the static while on the login screen and still get it on the guest account
[12:17] <rprettyman> MOUD virtualbox or vmware server
[12:17] <jrib> rominta: well refit has a pretty straightforward installer
[12:17] <MOUD> thanks for the info
[12:17] <jrib> groundup: then it can't be related to user-specific configuration changes
[12:18] <Link-> hi guys
[12:18] <onetinsoldier> groundup: well, i did it and no issues here. after ending the speaker-test with ctrl+c, nothing at all back from lsof | grep speaker
[12:18] <rominta> yer but i would really like to learn rather than just use an installer (plus i dont hav any blank cds here), so i was hoping i could do it all from a live cd
[12:18] <Link-> how can i combine a .png image with a .exe file any specific command?
[12:18] <jrib> rominta: I installed refit from OS X
[12:18] <groundup> Okay, so it isn't user related. Any other advice?
[12:18] <rprettyman> link, look at the convert command, not exe though, "man convert"
[12:19] <jrib> groundup: what else changed since it was working?
[12:19] <Link-> rprettyman thank
[12:19] <Link-> you
[12:19] <groundup> I don't really think I changed that much.
[12:19] <MOUD> rprettyman: wind or wine?
[12:19] <rominta> yes i belive you can do that, but i am testing everything on a virtual machine first, i have got all the info, but for some reason chroot would not work, but i think that is beacuse i do not hav a bash shel on the partition i was trying to chroot
[12:20] <jrib> rominta: ok
[12:20] <rprettyman> moud : wine
[12:20] <rprettyman> moud: one sec, first sudo apt-get install wine
[12:20] <groundup> Whatever is causing this static sound won't let me use use Pulse app
[12:20] <rprettyman> MOUD:check here for what programs you want to try to run native
[12:21] <marek_> hi, what is the best app for recording video from tv card?
[12:21] <rominta> lol should have guessed such a silly error thanks alot, if i chroot a partition, can i still edit the mbr for that drive not just the partition
[12:21] <rprettyman> MOUD: what ever is not avaible for wine, your more then likely need to run inside of windows native, or windows though a vpn
[12:21] <onetinsoldier> groundup: i don't know really. perhaps the root of it is a file descriptor(fd and NOFD) issue. might try to find out what file descriptor the sound driver uses. sorry i can't really be of any help.

[12:23] <zxd> hi
[12:24] <MOUD> what about windows games?
[12:24] <zxd> is there a guide , tutorial , book whatever , showing the difference between debian and ubuntu ? i am looking into migrating to ubuntu because of obsolete packages in debian stable
[12:24] <onetinsoldier> groundup: i'm reading now....
[12:24] <Seveas> good afternoon
[12:24] <mker> zxd, http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/debian
[12:24] <kitche> MOUD: what about windows games some work some don't have to look at the appdb for wine to see if they work or shell out cash to buy cedega and use that
[12:25] <jrib> Seveas: good morning
[12:25] <rprettyman> MOUD: their is other programs out their, but they cost money, depending on the game, their might be a linux version, online or it might work though wine with special tweaking, just search for the game on the WineHQ database, as far as games in a Virtualmachine, your better off restarting
[12:25] <onetinsoldier> groundup: ok, weird
[12:25] <flexd2> hi there, again.
[12:25] <Seveas> jrib, ah silly american, always behind the times ;)
[12:25] <MOUD> ok then
[12:25] <Seveas> hi flexd2
[12:25] <flexd2> I seem to have managed to install ubuntu now, but i also managed to install grub to the wrong drive it seemed. It suggested hd0 but i went with another hdd.. is there a way i can fix this?
[12:25] <groundup> Okay, unfortunately I don't have the time to fix this. Be back here in about 8 hours to try try again. Thanks for the time.
[12:26] <jrib> !grub > flexd2
[12:26] <flexd2> i went with the hdd i installed ubuntu on, figuring that would work
[12:26] <onetinsoldier> groundup: ok, good luck
[12:26] <kitche> flexd2: it will work you just have to change the boot order
[12:26] <ultratek> how do i run a cmd inthe terminal with from root
[12:26] <Seveas> flexd2, grub really should be installed on hd0, even if ubuntu is on another hd
[12:26] <flexd2> right
[12:26] <kitche> ultratek: use sudo
[12:26] <jrib> ultratek: what command?
[12:26] <ultratek> mount
[12:26] <flexd2> Seveas: okay, i`ll just find the way to change it i guess.
[12:27] <Seveas> flexd2, ubottu sent you some links. They should tell you what to do (grub-install hd0)
[12:27] <nnull> when your installing inteprid and select to make a drive encrypted, do you need to enter your encryption password everytime the pc reboots?
[12:27] <Seveas> nnull, yes. Otherwise the encryption wouldn't be very useful
[12:28] <nnull> Seveas, indeed, was checking for that reason, ta.
[12:28] <ultratek> jrib: mount -t nfts-3g /dev/sdb1/media/STORAGE -o force

[12:29] <vildent> can anyone help me to run the UML-tool jude on my Ubuntu 8.10

[12:30] <jrib> gbear14275: /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:30] <Seveas> vildent, that's a bug in a program that's not part of ubuntu. We cannot really support that

[12:32] <nnull> mker, ive run server's with encryption, and xubuntu, hard to notice a difference on low loads, didn't really test high load, as these servers were on p3 600's etc..
[12:32] <ultratek> jrib: it is an exteranl storage hardrive an older one by acom
[12:32] <mker> nnull, do the harddrives get to work alot more?
[12:33] <zxd> from what i read so far ubuntu releases are exact snapshots of debian unstable at a certain point in time?
[12:33] <quibbler> gbear14275, System-Administration-Software Sources
[12:33] <Seveas> zxd, no, you read that very very wrong :)
[12:34] <gbear14275> quibbler: thanks I found it :)
[12:34] <zxd> Seveas, well it says it's based on that
[12:34] <nnull> mker, wasn't really benchmarking tbh, but not that i could notice.. as i was benchmarking the Loads on these machines...
[12:35] <Seveas> zxd, ubuntu does import packages from debian unstable and various other sources until a certain point in the release process. These imports often are unchanged, but often have ubuntu-specific packages. Ubuntu also has newer versions of quite some software and some unique packages
[12:35] <mker> nnull, that's alright I'm interested in what you noticed :) well nice then thanks for the info, I'm about to give it a try as soon as I get the chance.
[12:35] <nnull> mker, ok gl :)
[12:35] <Seveas> zxd, but that's just part of the whole 'what is ubuntu'
[12:35] <gbear14275> so... i have to open a file browser as root to be able to open a file as root using the gui right?  Is there a reason there is not an "open as" option under the right click menu (or similar)?  Or is there?
[12:36] <jrib> gbear14275: because it's not something you should be doing all that often.  If you are, then you're probably doing something in not the best way

[12:37] <b00ley> anybody can say, what means "Unexpected IRQ trap at sector 10"
[12:37] <gbear14275> rww: and jrib: yup... just an awkward way that might be easier to have an "open as <user>" option within the non-root gui... but I'm guessing this was a design decision?

[12:38] <jrib> gbear14275: a lot of people like to be root for everything for some reason.  I imagine that was one reason, yes.  rww suggested a package that allows you to do what you asked though.  Just know when to use it

[12:43] <hischild> reportingsjr, no. I've also physically removed the card that works and tried to make it work, this has also failed.
[12:44] <hischild> rprettyman, ^
[12:44] <jrgp> can I tunnel windows filesharing through openvpn?
[12:44] <quibbler> gbear14275, you could use nautilus script and use a script to open nautilus as root
[12:44] <hischild> jrgp, i suppose you can in theory. Don't ask me how though
[12:44] <rprettyman> hischild, what kind of card is it, and do you know what module it is using
[12:45] <hischild> rprettyman, a compaq card, came with the pc. Give me a second to figure out what module it's using.
[12:46] <jaapvisser> jrgp : i am not an expert on openvpn but got what i needed by reading: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/489
[12:46] <hischild> rprettyman, it's using the tlan module.
[12:46] <jrgp> thanks jaapvisser
[12:48] <rprettyman> hischild: is this percistant, are you able to get anytraffic on the card other then dhcp leasing
[12:48] <rprettyman> hischild: can you ping the card's ip from another machine on your lan/network
[12:49] <annaimkonki> hello everyone... how do i use my pci wireless card on ubuntu
[12:49] <hischild> rprettyman, it's consistent behavior yes. I'm able to obtain a dhcp lease if i manually run dhclient as nm-applet seems unable to do so. I'm unable to ping the gateway from this card, and any other pc on the lan can't reach this card.
[12:49] <rascal_is_here> my phone can be used as a usb mass storage device it is detected i windows but it is not getting detected in ubuntu please help me out !
[12:49] <BadThing> ubuntu is a bitch to learn after being lazy with windows heh
[12:50] <amerinese> hi, not really familiar with how hd/drivers work, but my problem is tvtime doesn't give me sound, but i can get it through an arecord | aplay command i found somewhere... any way to simply direct sound output to mixer:line so i can tell tvtime to use device=mixer:line instead of the aplay arecord thing?  does this make sense?
[12:50] <rprettyman> hischild: are you able to test the card on a live distro or live windows disc, it sounds like it could be a posible hardware malfunction, also are their any messages in syslog or dmesg about the card
[12:50] <tuchha12> i shokwave working good with wine?
[12:51] <amerinese> the specific line i use is: arecord -D hw:1,0 -r 48000 -c 2 -f S16_LE | aplay - to play sound
[12:51] <hischild> rprettyman, this card has worked before the vacations, leading me to believe it is indeed a hardware malfunction. Let me check syslog about the card (why didn't i think of that)
[12:52] <rprettyman> tuchha12:  check the wine databaseshockwave server http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=4684
[12:52] <tuchha12> i sed to see quicktime or mpeg-4 files but now no

[12:53] <ActionParsnip> rascal_is_here: does a disk show up in sudo fdisk -l?
[12:53] <BadThing> i was trying to install kismet manually, something i dont understand, is if i got my ubuntu laptop online and used synaptic, would it gather all the files kismet depended on automatically?
[12:53] <rominta> ok guys still having problems, i tryed sudo chroot /media/disk i get the error /bin/bash no such file or directoy, and there is defo a /media/disk/bin/bash
[12:54] <rprettyman> Badthing: Yes syanptic or apt-get resolves dependencies
[12:54] <hischild> rprettyman, there's some notes in dmesg i can't place. --> ppdev0: unregistered pardevice <-- and --> ppdev0: registered pardevice <--
[12:54] <BadThing> thanks rprettyman

[12:55] <v3s4> can I resize a Vista partition with the partition tools in Ubuntu install cd without messing Vista up?
[12:56] <rprettyman> v3s4: in theory but you should backup mission critical files you can't replace just in case
[12:56] <rominta> thanks, should i run the -t -o mount options cus its a windows ntfs partition
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> v3s4: you can use gparted in livecd to resize partitions
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> v3s4: i'd backup important data if your data is important
[12:57] <hischild> rprettyman, other then that, there's nothing out of the ordinary in syslog nor in dmesg.
[12:57] <v3s4> rprettyman, ActionParnsnip, thanks. Back-up already ongoing.
[12:58] <rprettyman> hischild: well i hope it wasn't an expensive fiber nic or serial nic, but neweggs is pretty good about getting you a new one fast
[12:59] <hischild> rprettyman, i'm at school and i have a network of about 12 pc's to maintain. Lucky i've got some spares around and this is just a testing box. Thanks for your time, you've confirmed my thoughts.
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> hischild: only 12, or just 12 spare?

[13:06] <cdavis> Where should I look to understanding how to get ubuntu to handle dockign my laptop with the external monitor? It works fine but I have to adjust the nvidia settings each time I dock?
[13:06] <Cayal> Aeon5717, try chmod +x script here.
[13:06] <Cayal> Or better yet, right-click on it and hit 'properties', and tick "allow executing file as program".
[13:06] <Cayal> Maybe that'll work.
[13:07] <Cayal> Anyhow, my compiz is dead. Very dead. It won't start.
[13:07] <Aeon5717> Cayal: didn't work. i think the script is missing some part...

[13:18] <Lukasz> flexd, Why don't you check "add/remove" for "iso"?
[13:19] <flexd> and have worked perfectly in this burner before.
[13:19] <scizzo-> flexd: tried to change the size before burning?
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> Lukasz: if the repo is for breezy and you are running intrepid, the package is no good to you is it
[13:19] <engemec> Lukasz , i'm trying to do some classes abou Ubuntu and Calc

[13:19] <flexd> it says size: 0

[13:25] <scizzo-> infidel_: type dmesg in a terminal
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: if you have a single drive, the boot sector of the hard drive
[13:25] <scizzo-> infidel_: you can also check in /var/log/messages and some other logfiles there
[13:25] <alexb92> becoz ive installed ubuntu 3 times on a seperate internal hdd i have and i cant get it to boot, even with setting that hdd to the main priority in BIOS
[13:25] <engemec> cool

[13:32] <Kartagis> ikonia, thanks
[13:32] <alexb92> just hangs when its meant to be loading
[13:32] <dr4g> ikonia: is that part of the OS or the bios ?
[13:32] <quibbler> vigo, IPtables is your firewall you can install firestarter to finetune it if you want
[13:32] <ikonia> dr4g: apm is the interface into the bios
[13:32] <ikonia> dr4g: for power managment anyway

[13:33] <hischild> alex-82, don't think about memory as you do with windows. the linux kernel keeps a lot in cache in your memory.
[13:33] <scizzo-> Psykus: my question to you would be why you would want to use the ugly horrible win loader instead of grub from the start?
[13:33] <Arenlor> Is there any way to have grep run a command every time it finds a line?
[13:33] <alex-82> ikonia: where can I check the cache?
[13:33] <ikonia> alex-82: you are doing
[13:33] <ikonia> alex-82: when you view the memory you can see how much is in use
[13:34] <Psykus> because I use windows as my primary OS

[13:34] <alex-82> ok, but I was a little worried because I have no swap file
[13:35] <dr4g> ikonia: ppp looks to be a config file
[13:35] <alexb92> what??? tweak the bios? it worked fine when running under wubi using the same disk, so when you do a clean install, wouldnt it just eb the exact same thing?
[13:35] <Psykus> and find /boot/grub/stage1 doesn't work
[13:35] <sky_1> how to install this theme ? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ArchDark?content=94030
[13:35] <alex-82> so Im guessing this cache will not continue to expand past the available system memory
[13:35] <dr4g> ikonia: actually ppp is a bash script
[13:35] <fasta> !w32codecs
[13:35] <hischild> alex-82, correct
[13:35] <Psykus> nor does any combo of root (hd0,<number)
[13:35] <something132> ok what shall i do with the result
[13:36] <sky_1> how to install this theme ? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ArchDark?content=94030
[13:36] <ikonia> dr4g: /etc/apci/power
[13:36] <Psykus> my ubuntu partition shows up as /dev/sda5
[13:36] <norbert_> hi all; anyone here using voipbuster under Linux (and if so, how?? linphone?)
[13:36] <ikonia> sky_1: read the release notes in the theme
[13:36] <something132> !anyone
[13:36] <ikonia> sky_1: it's a gdm theme, just drop it into the login manager gui
[13:36] <hischild> alex-82, consider your memory as a huge table. Would you rather have as much on your table as you can, while keeping enough workspace but allow quick access, or would you rather keep your table clean but require a longer time searching for things?
[13:37] <ikonia> hischild: effective description
[13:37] <something132> !anyone
[13:37] <hischild> ikonia, thank you
[13:37] <Psykus> would /dev/sda5 still be (hd0,5) to grub, or?
[13:37] <ikonia> something132: you've just said that
[13:37] <ikonia> Psykus: no, it depends on your partition layout

[13:37] <opera> does anyone know "Ubuntu UNLEASHED 2008 Edition "?

[13:38] <sky_1> it say that its not theme archive
[13:38] <ikonia> dr4g: sorry /etc/acpi
[13:38] <alex-82> hischild: yes I see that unused ram is wasted ram. I was surprised to see the RAM so high (and climbing) when it hasn't gotten this high before. I must have installed a program that caches aggressively
[13:38] <Psykus> ikonia: ah. well all I need to do now is install the grub loader to the ubuntu partition but not the MBR
[13:38] <norbert_> ActionParsnip: okay, but that's 2006, I wonder whether someone is still able to use voipbuster under Linux today
[13:38] <ikonia> Psykus: you really don't want to put it on the patition in my opion
[13:38] <ikonia> opinion
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> norbert_: i just went to the voipbuster nad they have a linux section
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> norbert_: you'll find most of it still stands
[13:39] <norbert_> ActionParsnip: yes, unfortunately that information appears to be inaccurate and/or outdated
[13:39] <ikonia> dr4g: have you got that ? /etc/acpi
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> norbert_: http://bluev.wordpress.com/2006/04/11/mini-howto-logitech-webcam-ekiga-amsn-gizmo-voipbuster/
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> norbert_: just replace emerge with sudo apt-get install
[13:39] <norbert_> ActionParsnip: also from 2006
[13:39] <fasta> Is Medibuntu also available for jaunty?
[13:39] <fasta> Or how can I use Medibuntu in jaunty?
[13:39] <ikonia> fasta: not yet as jaunty is not stable so shouldn't be used for everyday tasks
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> norbert_: so what, the man page for cp is from the late 80s but still stands
[13:40] <norbert_> my question is really whether anyone here is CURRENTLY/STILL using voipbuster under Linux (and if so, how?? linphone?)
[13:40] <ikonia> fasta: jaunty support is in #ubunt+1
[13:40] <dr4g> ikonia: nothing only apm which contains event.d/ which contains two shell scripts. The shell scripts reference to /etc/ppp/apm.conf but that file doesn't exist either
[13:40] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip, Still remember ekiga case? Well, it seems to be installing, thanks.
[13:40] <ikonia> dr4g: just to be %100 you do not have the dir /etc/acpi
[13:40] <Arenlor> fasta: if you have to ask that question you should not be using Jaunty
[13:40] <rawajfeh> how can I share the BBC streaming over lan
[13:40] <rawajfeh> ?
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> norbert_: dont you think its worth a try rather than just shooting it down without giving it at least a go. It may just work
[13:40] <dr4g> ikonia: no i don't have acpi or apci
[13:40] <norbert_> ActionParsnip: I've tried these things, really
[13:40] <norbert_> ActionParsnip: I'm a Linux geek and know how to use Google search :)
[13:41] <fasta> Arenlor: I have used Debian for over 6 years.
[13:41] <hischild> alex-82, i understand. No worries though, the kernel is smart enough not to cache to much.
[13:41] <ikonia> fasta: what has that got to do with anything ?
[13:41] <Lukasz> Achilleus, Can I ask how did you find it right on launchpad?
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> norbert_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=469652

[13:41] <fasta> Can I just install the intrepid version then?
[13:41] <ikonia> fasta: no
[13:41] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip,  Can I ask how did you find it right on launchpad?
[13:41] <MOUD> Hello again. Wine seems to work perfecly with RAdmin, didn't test other programs thought

[13:41] <ActionParsnip> norbert_: ask.com is decent too. Finds loads that google doesnt
[13:42] <Tazjin> this was just one of the biggest irc nicklists i've ever seen
[13:42] <Tazjin> lol
[13:42] <fasta> ikonia: so, can I downgrade?
[13:42] <ikonia> dr4g: I'm looking for something else, but without X, that is where I'd be I'd expect you to be able to set it
[13:42] <ikonia> fasta: no

[13:42] <ActionParsnip> Lukasz: just type idiot type sentences in and it spews out the gold
[13:42] <alexb92> would ubuntu run on a 2gb usb drive?
[13:43] <fasta> Thank you
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: yes but you'd have to stripp it down a fair bit
[13:43] <fasta> I will synchronize later with a more stable release.

[13:48] <serengeti> hi, if I find a bug in ubuntu's version of firefox, should I report it on launchpad or bugzilla?

[13:50] <opera>  si fit for new user?
[13:50] <FloodBot2> opera: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:50] <opera> who can tell me
[13:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Psykus, How about just grub-install
[13:50] <Jack_Sparrow> opera, It sounds more like one of the derivatives and as suchnot supported here
[13:51] <LordMetroid> serengeti, maybe reporting to both would be good...
[13:51] <alexb92> pixelated, oh right nice but whats the memory you have on there, the processing and ram isnt the problem its the space
[13:51] <opera> it is a book
[13:52] <LordMetroid> hmm, but I think that Ubuntu have some kind of cooperation with various developers and passes bug reports on to the developers of the particular software
[13:52] <opera> a gay give it to me today
[13:52] <ikonia> opera: stop now
[13:52] <Gnea> ikonia: whoa...
[13:52] <ikonia> opera: if you want ubuntu support - great, if you want to mess around and cause an issue, leave now

[13:55] <serengeti> LordMetroid, that's why I'm asking. I think I've read somewhere that bugs should be reported to launchpad and not upstream, but I'm not sure about it.
[13:55] <alexb92> hopefully an easier install process :P

[14:00] <mercutio22> hello. I messed up my KDE installing the beta from the ppa repo mentioned at the kubuntu site now I need to reinstall libkwineffects1 and libkdecorations4 but apt is complaining these can't be downloaded.

[14:00] <Berrzebb> run
[14:00] <mercutio22> soreau> no...
[14:00] <Berrzebb> keyboard layout
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> MOUD: wine can run some windows games too
[14:01] <Tazjin> ActionParsnip: it's not in the repo, I had to compile it
[14:01] <Pici> !enter | Berrzebb
[14:01] <MOUD> I know
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> MOUD: and dosbox will run old dos games like dune and transport tycoon
[14:01] <alexb92> is it possible to repair a wubi install wiht the live cd or not?
[14:01] <Gnea> !keyboard | Berrzebb
[14:01] <Jack_Sparrow> alexb92, No
[14:01] <MOUD> ActionParsnip: yes, I heard about dosbox
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: unless you can mount the wubi image in the live cd, no
[14:01] <alexb92> lol ouch so thats what happened before then lol
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> MOUD: gotta love dune, I'm playing syndicate with dosbox :)
[14:02] <alexb92> i couldnt boot up with it and it said everything was a readonly file system and xserver didnt want to boot
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: wubi imho is wortless
[14:02] <Jack_Sparrow> alexb92, I wont use nor recommend wubi..  In my opinion, it is only a test drive
[14:02] <MOUD> ActionParsnip: I'll try it later
[14:02] <alexb92> so yeah it screwed up big time
[14:02] <alexb92> yeah
[14:02] <MOUD> are they free?
[14:02] <Berrzebb> leptop
[14:02] <Berrzebb> no desktop
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> alexb92: then use sudo chmod to apply correct read write access
[14:02] <opera> thank GNEA, it is
[14:03] <Berrzebb> keyboard layout laptop ver no see..T_T
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> MOUD: games like syndicate and dune arent but the games in the repos are
[14:03] <soreau> mercutio22: Make sure your sources.list file is correct and then run apt-get upgrade
[14:03] <alexb92> thats why i wanted this second internal hdd to boot up with ubuntu but if it cant work, im not going to bother to mess around with bios files becoz i already have 2 windows installs on here
[14:03] <MOUD> I see
[14:03] <MOUD> I'm looking for a game in specific, it used to come with Fedora, it's a game that there are two balls and you have to clear 70% of the screen
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> MOUD: jezzball
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> !info jezzball
[14:03] <Gnea> Berrzebb: your english is very difficult to understand...
[14:03] <MOUD> yeah, that's the one
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> !find jezzball
[14:04] <MOUD> !info jezzball
[14:04] <mercutio22> soreau> I removed the ppa lines from sources.list and done sudo apt-get upgrade already but I still can't reinstall those packages
[14:04] <alexb92> couldnt log into it, there would be a blue screen that would say : xserver could not be started due to internal erros, please reboot your machine, then an ok button would appear and when you press enter, you were lead back to the loading processes screen
[14:04] <soreau> mercutio22: Try reinstalling kdebase-workspace

[14:05] <Jack_Sparrow> minche, Install ccsm  sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects....  On the first page  put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top...  click on desktop size  and set them to 4, 1 and 1  top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse
[14:05] <minche> and everything else is working
[14:05] <alex-82> would it be possible to completely remove nautilus from my system? I want to use rox-filer instead

[14:05] <jrib> Tex-Twil: forever?
[14:05] <mercutio22> soreau> ok, done that. I still have libkephal lib missing though
[14:05] <nnull> Jack_Sparrow, with the uber answer :)
[14:06] <Tex-Twil> jrib, yes
[14:06] <minche> but i set it to 3x2 or soemthing windows
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> minche: then hold alt+ctrl and drag the screen round
[14:06] <MOUD> aham
[14:06] <minche> *workplaces
[14:06] <Tex-Twil> jrib, even after reboot
[14:06] <minche> and i can only use upper row :/
[14:06] <nnull> minche, there's your problem
[14:06] <jrib> Tex-Twil: disable "graphical login" in system -> administration -> services
[14:06] <minche> oh, alt+ctrl
[14:06] <minche> thanx :D
[14:06] <nnull> follow what Jack_Sparrow said and you should be fine
[14:06] <Tex-Twil> ok I have a look jrib thx
[14:06] <d0gmaz> anyone knows a very simple lightweight webserver with a gtk gui for ubuntu? i need to download files to my ps3 thats the ony thing it has to do
[14:07] <MOUD> I have a question... When i try using "  su  " on terminal and it asks me to input the password, it gives me something like authentication failed or something like that, but when I run sudo I use the same pass and it works fine
[14:07] <pronoy> !grub
[14:07] <MOUD> why is that?
[14:07] <soreau> mercutio22: Well I am out of ideas then, maybe someone else here knows
[14:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo > MOUD
[14:07] <chaitan3> MOUD, try sudo su
[14:07] <Pici> alex-82: You may be able to modify these scripts here to use rox-filer instead: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/nonautilusplease  . Don't remove nautilus though, that provides the desktop itself as well.
[14:07] <jrib> MOUD: running 'su' attempts to login as root.  root has no password.  Just use 'sudo -i' if you need a root shell
[14:07] <Jack_Sparrow> chaitan3, sudo  su isnt the best choice
[14:07] <nnull> if i setup a squid proxy for a home network would it be able to cache Ubuntu Updates? so that the 5 odd PC's don't all need to download the same data?
[14:08] <MOUD> oh I see, thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind :)
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> MOUD: you need to use sudo -i instead
[14:08] <Jack_Sparrow> MOUD, see also gksudo
[14:08] <MOUD> I will
[14:08] <mercutio22> soreau> I this is very complex. Thanks for your help. I will try reinstalling KDE and compiz later
[14:08] <pronoy> !sudo > pronoy
[14:08] <chaitan3> Jack_Sparrow, why not sudo su?
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> MOUD: gksudo for ui apps like gedit and nautilus, sudo for cli apps like apt-get cp mv etc
[14:09] <mercutio22> Does anyone know how I can make apt install some libraries that are missing here?
[14:09] <nnull> anyone know? if Ubuntu-Updates are cache-able by a proxy?
[14:09] <alex-82> Pici: thanks. rox-filer can handle the desktop as well.
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> mercutio22: can you show us the message and we can diagnose, use pastebin
[14:09] <MOUD> ah
[14:09] <Jack_Sparrow> chaitan3, It isnt needed sudo -i is safer..    Still working on first cup of coffee but someone else can give you real details
[14:09] <jaapvisser> sudo apt-cache searh missinglib and after sudo apt-get install missinglib / mercutio22
[14:09] <MOUD> I think I'll have to read some tutorials and info about ubuntu and linux in general
[14:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !training
[14:10] <mercutio22> jaapvisser> the problem is the library is not found anymore because it was from a ppa
[14:10] <MOUD> one more question... some time ago I saw on youtube that you can flip ubuntu like a 3D cube and move the windows and make them look like papers
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> MOUD: just use the system, you'll learn well. Just websearch when you get stuck
[14:11] <MOUD> ActionParsnip: I will, thanks
[14:11] <Jack_Sparrow> MOUD, YEs, that is compiz effects
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> MOUD: ive seen that, like playing cards on a table
[14:11] <MOUD> is compiz already installed and configured on ubuntu or it's a separate package?
[14:12] <jaapvisser> what is ppa mercutio22?
[14:12] <mikkr> What is the "apparmor" package?
[14:12] <jaapvisser> ic tnx mikkr
[14:12] <EdgeX-> !java > edgex-

[14:14] <chaitan3> im having a problem with suspend to ram, everything works flawlessly,the system suspends and resumes fine, but the cpu fan makes too much noise. on checking the sys monitor the cpu usage is 0%. So it just that the cpu fan is unnecessarily at a high speed. Is there any way to turn it down?
[14:14] <jaapvisser> just a suggestion maybe you can work with .deb files for your missing parts
[14:14] <fasta> How do I list the wireless accesspoints available?
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> MOUD: its a community for a reason
[14:15] <wesley__> What is faster Ext3 or jfs ?
[14:15] <omnydevi> chaitan - are you sure the temp guage is working properly? cpu should never be 0c

[14:15] <Caesi> Hullo, where does Ubuntu 8.10 normally install programs?

[14:16] <minche> i changed the theme with emerald. but scroll button is deafult, and so i select background. any way to change that?
[14:16] <chaitan3> omnydevi, how do i check?
[14:16] <Caesi> ActionParsnip: isn't there one particular folder, like /etc/ or so?
[14:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Caesi, all over
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> Caesi: no, all apps use varying librarys and files so they are dotted around
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> Caesi: as a user its unimportant to you
[14:16] <omnydevi> chaitan - depends on the program, i never got mine to work properly. just sounds like a cpu temp reading 0 indicates a false reading, or the guage isnt working.
[14:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Caesi, not like program files in windows
[14:17] <Caesi> ok thanks @ Jack_Sparrow and ActionParsnip .. I have a folder with a program, where should I best put it?
[14:17] <Halitech> Caesi, not as bad as Windows but yeah, files and libs will be everywhere
[14:17] <Caesi> :)
[14:17] <wesley__> ActionParsnip, i bet you could help, i am installing the mini itx i was talking about, so i want to make jfs file systems but if that better or can i better pick ext3
[14:17] <Halitech> Caesi, do you want it just for yourself and does it recommend any certain place?

[14:24] <troythetechguy> I'm experimenting setting up Ubuntu Server edition on an older server here at work.  However, I don't have a lot of experience with servers.  It appears this server has a RAID set up.  I successfully installed Ubuntu 8.10 server, but on the re-boot I'm told the bios cannot find bootable media.  I used GParted and set the drive as bootable & RAID, but not luck.  Ideas?
[14:24] <nnull> |TheBarold|, personally never had a problem with pidgin in either version.
[14:25] <omnydevi> troy - what raid array? 1 or 5 or x or ?
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> troythetechguy, We have a -server channel and I can trigger the factoid on raid if you like

[14:28] <TwoEqualsTen> ccsm runs it, compizconfig-settings-manager installs it.
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip, ccsm is shorthand.. if you read what I wrote.. It does explain it
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> although they should make a metapackage
[14:28] <ehgfhefh> ActionParsnip, it's still the same, usually, when it worked,I would get WLAN connection in matter of secconds, now he says Waiting for Network Key for the wireless network '(null)'...
[14:29] <ehgfhefh> and that icon youi got when it's connecting, only lower circle is green

[14:31] <Isvara> (Installing the amd64 version.)
[14:31] <ehgfhefh> ActionParsnip, how to do that?
[14:31] <Halitech> Isvara, what video card do you have and how much ram?
[14:31] <tiyowan> Right. http://paste.ubuntu.com/101670/ <- sudo apt-get update
[14:31] <TwoEqualsTen> bahadunn, for which documents?
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> Jack_Sparrow: you said to install ccsm to someone who wasnt even aware what the cube deskto pis actually called, i just wanted you to clear what you meant

[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> 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 "--"
[14:32] <Halitech> Isvara, probably some issue with the video card then, try to install in safe video mode
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Isvara, BEst to stick with the 32 bit until you get a feel for ubuntu
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> ehgfhefh: you will see driver in the output of your wireless cards config
[14:32] <Isvara> Yeah, I tried that. Same problem -- just nothing.
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> ehgfhefh: sudo rmmod <that name>

[14:35] <TwoEqualsTen> bahadunn, are you talking about binary files or something?

[14:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Isvara, Wow, some people have no problem with that hardware others have no luck
[14:52] <w00b3> is there a way to check the integrity of blank DVD's on Ubuntu?
[14:52] <Halitech> silv3r_m00n, even if you fix it, with using it you will just end up breaking your system again
[14:52] <mker> w00b3, don't know but if you don't get any help here you might find something on cdfreaks, I think they're good with that stuff.
[14:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Isvara, Without quiet and splash.. do you see and errors
[14:53] <silv3r_m00n> Halitech: yeah yeah yeah yeah i wont use sudo again....but for now i want to know whether its broken and if its broken i want to fix it :)
[14:53] <Isvara> Jack_Sparrow: No, nothing at all
[14:54] <silv3r_m00n> Halitech: and my /etc/sudoers file is blank
[14:54] <EdgeX-> how do i change my recording levels :S
[14:54] <silv3r_m00n> is that wrong
[14:54] <Halitech> silv3r_m00n, does kdesu guiapp work?
[14:54] <Captain_Haddock> Hi, since my upgrade to Intrepid, I've been facing issues with Samba, usually filename issues. Certain files with accents in their filenames are inaccessible from Windows. All was fine with Hardy.
[14:54] <silv3r_m00n> Halitech: yeah
[14:54] <majnoon> !ot
[14:54] <silv3r_m00n> kdesudo is working kdesu is not working
[14:54] <Halitech> silv3r_m00n, then use it and don;t worry about fixing sudo guiapp

[14:56] <toocold> i only speak english
[14:56] <arik> hi can i ask something
[14:56] <silv3r_m00n> Halitech: i need to fix it please
[14:57] <arik> how do u save a file created in console
[14:57] <silv3r_m00n> i have downloaeded a software which is a .sh installer and it is not running via kdesu or kdesudo its saying command not found
[14:57] <EdgeX-> How would I go about making my recording level a bit higher; Skype and Sound Recorder are hardly picking up my voice
[14:57] <arik> ubuntu-ph
[14:57] <LinuxApe> Anyone use usb-creator
[14:59] <Gnea> arik: in console? what do you mean?
[14:59] <scunizi>  /part
[14:59] <Isvara> Actually, the 32-bit one is doing something now -- slowly. Looks like some long timeouts on the SATA controller.
[15:00] <ndlovu> toocold, you can set that from page preview in openoffice.org writer. open page preview, then click on the print options page view button.
[15:00] <arik> Gnea: i was made to create a file "sudo vim /etc/init.d/ekpd"
[15:00] <arik> then paste a list of commands inside it
[15:00] <arik> how do i save it?
[15:00] <toocold> ndlovu: what page?
[15:01] <Gnea> arik: :wq
[15:01] <toocold> ndlovu: i dont see a page preview? only preview in browser
[15:01] <Gnea> arik: be sure to press ESC first
[15:01] <arik> :wq?
[15:01] <Gnea> :wq
[15:01] <Dvyjones> I'm installing Wubi, and now the installer (after rebooting) is hanging at "Setting up cache/swap" (not wuite sure which, since I'm not installing it in English). Any ideas?
[15:01] <Dvyjones> It's at 0%
[15:01] <Gnea> : <-- puts vim in command-mode, w <-- writes/saves the file, q <-- quits
[15:01] <ndlovu> toocold: from the menu, it's file -> page preview (near the bottom)
[15:02] <EdgeX-> How would I go about making my mic volume a bit higher; Skype and Sound Recorder are hardly picking up my voice
[15:02] <Isvara> Jack_Sparrow: I'm at a busybox prompt that says (initramfs). Never seen that before. Nothing running on any other vtys.
[15:02] <ndlovu> toocold, just below preview in web browser
[15:02] <silv3r_m00n> Halitech: there ?
[15:02] <toocold> ndlovu: i dont have it - is there another way i can access it? im using OOO3
[15:02] <arik> whoa thanks! that was rocket science
[15:03] <ndlovu> toocold, on the toolbar there's usually a button with a printer and a magnifying glass on it. that opens it as well.
[15:04] <Caesi> Hullo, while trying to install Ekiga 3.1.0 on Ubuntu 8.10 I keep getting "configure: error: *** libsasl2 headers not found", anyone any idea on how I can fix this? :)
[15:04] <fasta> What's the name of the application associated with the application that one clicks on when locking the session?
[15:04] <Gnea> Caesi: why are you trying to compile it?
[15:04] <fasta> Since the icon disappeared, I assume the application is not installed anymore.
[15:04] <Dvyjones> Caesi: Search for libsasl2 in synaptic, and install the one ending in -dev
[15:05] <hobbes006> hi guys, how do i configure it so that my "normal ubuntu user" can execute the "mount" and "umount" commands? i dont want to run as root.
[15:05] <EdgeX-> Hey; How would I go about making my mic volume a bit higher; Skype and Sound Recorder are hardly picking up my voice
[15:05] <hobbes006> i dont want to have to type "sudo mount"
[15:05] <Caesi> Gnea: trying to install the newest version; Dvyjones: apparently the newest version is installed
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> hobbes006, sidt sudoers ... I do belive is the answer
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> edit
[15:06] <Gnea> hobbes006: you can change fstab settings for specific devices, but for random devices, you'll need to do it as root initially. it has to be.
[15:06] <Gnea> !fstab | hobbes006
[15:06] <silv3r_m00n> Jack_Sparrow: hi i want to fix sudo guiapp
[15:06] <hobbes006> i did this in fstab:
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> silv3r_m00n, Sorry, cant help you there
[15:06] <hobbes006> work /mnt/work user, auto
[15:06] <hobbes006> is that correct ?
[15:07] <Dvyjones> Any help on this? I'm installing Wubi (8.10), and it's hanging at "Installing system", I think the bottom line is something like "Formatting swapspace at partition 1 at /host/ub..." Any ideas?
[15:07] <Gnea> hobbes006: no. read the URLs above, they will tell you how to do it right
[15:07] <toocold> ndlovu: i'm in oodraw - pdf files only open in oodraw
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Dvyjones, Please see the wubi FAQ, I wont use or recommend it...
[15:07] <Halitech> silv3r_m00n, if you feel you have to fix it then google is going to be your friend

[15:08] <toocold> ndlovu: do you know how i can import PDF In oowriter
[15:08] <silv3r_m00n> Halitech: cant find it on google
[15:09] <broonsparrow> hi.could anyone help me with installibg Mailman/Postfix on 8.04?
[15:09] <ndlovu> toocold, check http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Pdf_Import_Extension
[15:09] <Halitech> silv3r_m00n, http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=cannot+kdesu&btnG=Google+Search
[15:10] <marcelo> How do I uninstall a package?
[15:10] <Gnea> marcelo: sudo apt-get remove <packagename>
[15:10] <Jack_Sparrow> marcelo, How was it installed?
[15:10] <ndlovu> toocold, also, http://openoffice.blogs.com/openoffice/ has some good general tips on using openoffice.org
[15:10] <marcelo> Jack_Sparrow: apt-get install package
[15:10] <toocold> ndlovu: i have already installed the pdf import extension
[15:11] <altus-dominus> thanks
[15:11] <ndlovu> toocold, then you're a step ahead of me :)
[15:11] <DuncanGnome> hi. is there anyway to tweak the gnome version of xchat to style the nicklist to a bar that will always show to the right/left of the window?
[15:11] <Jack_Sparrow> marcelo, apt-get remove package ...   Hopefully you have not modified your sources.list
[15:11] <DuncanGnome> like the channel/server bar is set by default.
[15:11] <dft> anyone have the link to the tutorial for setting up hardy chroot env handy?
[15:12] <silv3r_m00n> Halitech: i just opened sudoers file on another computer and it has content like shown on the psyco link u gave .... and my sudoers file is blank
[15:12] <dft> !chroot
[15:12] <mker> DuncanGnome, don't you just click and drag it?
[15:12] <silv3r_m00n> i think changing its content shall fix it
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> DuncanGnome, regular xchat can, I dont use xchat-gnome
[15:12] <toocold> ndlovu: in oowriter i see page preview but everytime i open a pdf in oowriter it goes to oodraw
[15:12] <Halitech> silv3r_m00n, that info *may* be specific to gnome, I don't use kde as I don't like it so not sure
[15:13] <DuncanGnome> damn. but i can only find regular xchat in rpm. and i can't get alien to work :/
[15:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !info xchat
[15:13] <Jack_Sparrow> DuncanGnome, It is in our repos
[15:13] <silv3r_m00n> Halitech: i was playing with kdm and login manager in the morning i am sure it happened with that
[15:13] <marcelo> Jack_Sparrow: My problem is that I changed the code of a game, but it is not working as desired so I want to install the original again. What do you mean with "Hopefully you have not modified the source list"?
[15:13] <broonsparrow> hi.could anyone help me with installing Postfix, when I get to the config page in the terminal it freezes.
[15:13] <DuncanGnome> oh, ok
[15:14] <DuncanGnome> thanks.
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> DuncanGnome, Alien is a not the best idea  either
[15:14] <DuncanGnome> what should i use, for rpm conversion, then?
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> marcelo, What game
[15:14] <Halitech> silv3r_m00n, could be right
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !rpm
[15:14] <Gnea> DuncanGnome: why do you need to convert xchat from rpm?
[15:14] <silv3r_m00n> Halitech: i enabled autologin for a user
[15:14] <marcelo> Jack_Sparrow: xgalaga, I originarily installed it via apt-get.
[15:14] <DkySven> hello people
[15:14] <silv3r_m00n> let me change the contents of sudoers file and see what happens
[15:15] <Gnea> DuncanGnome: just to change where the list bar is at? have you tried #xchat?
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !info xgalaga
[15:15] <blouf> hi, anyone knows how to change the text color in the panel containing applications, places etc ... please ?
[15:15] <Gnea> !info wesnoth
[15:15] <marcelo> !info xgalaga
[15:15] <ndlovu> toocold, you can try playing with the printer settings on system > administration > printing. I think from 8.04 (hardy) it has an option for multiple pages per sheet.
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> marcelo,  Use synaptic to purge - remove it then reinstall
[15:16] <ndlovu> toocold, I've played around with it, but it hasn't worked for me
[15:16] <DkySven> when I tried to format my USB stick at my Windows Vista HP mini-note to make an Ubuntu start-up USB-stick it crashed during the formatting and now it seems broken. Does anyone knows how to fix this? I already tried Gparted and fdisk
[15:16] <DuncanGnome> Gnea: i can change the bar with the gnome version. anyway, i'll see if i can do something with the one of the ubuntu repositories.
[15:16] <toocold> is there a pdf program i can use to print a pdf with multiple slides per page
[15:16] <DuncanGnome> *can't
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> DkySven, what does gparted show and what is the error
[15:16] <ndlovu> toocold, it should be controlled by the n-up setting on the printer options tab for the printer
[15:16] <Soloportable> Hi Guys, I had a kernel update today to kernel 2.6.27.9 and I got kernel panic's
[15:17] <Gnea> DuncanGnome: ah okay, i'm not a big fan of nome
[15:17] <Gnea> *gnome
[15:17] <Soloportable> no log messages so i can't say what to exact problem is, yet
[15:17] <samu> hola
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> samu, Hello
[15:17] <Gnea> Soloportable: during bootup?
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> DuncanGnome, Do you want a screenshot of my xchat so you can verify what you are trying to do
[15:18] <Soloportable> no while working :) Other wise i would nog what the problem was
[15:18] <DkySven> Jack_Sparrow: http://www.pastebin.be/15898
[15:18] <Gnea> Soloportable: can you install pastebinit and use it to pastebin dmesg?
[15:18] <Kevdog> chroot using openssh -- anyone with any experience?
[15:18] <ndlovu> toocold, you can also install acrobat reader, which lets you set pages per sheet.
[15:19] <Gnea> Kevdog: could you be a bit more specific, please?
[15:19] <ndlovu> toocold, it's the acroread package
[15:19] <Soloportable> dmesg has no track of any errors
[15:19] <toocold> ndlovu: is there something more lightweight like xpdf?
[15:19] <Gnea> Soloportable: weird... so it just hardlocks the whole thing?
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> DkySven, I would try gparted livecd...
[15:20] <Soloportable> indeed :) With a nice flashing led on my portable as a result
[15:20] <Kevdog> A little behind the times but discovered the chroot patch integrated into openssh sources -- only seen examples how to setup sftp only without shell access
[15:20] <DkySven> ok, I'll try that
[15:20] <rijo> ubottu: paste
[15:20] <DkySven> I'll be back later
[15:20] <RidingDef> german ubuntu channel?
[15:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !de
[15:20] <Kevdog> Any links or examples to set up with interactive jailed shell specifically using openssh (and not something like mysecureshell or linux jailkit)
[15:21] <Soloportable> but the fact that it happens after 10 minutes of working and only with version 9 of 2.6.27 makes me thing of an error in the wireless driver (that's the only thing that changes then)
[15:21] <RidingDef> .de?
[15:21] <Gnea> Kevdog: not sure, what does google say when you put this in: ubuntu openssh chroot jail
[15:21] <RidingDef> THX
[15:21] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[15:21] <flexd> hmm
[15:21] <flexd> Is there a graphical disk utility?
[15:21] <flexd> Sort of a stupid question i should have googled :p
[15:22] <Kevdog> Gnuea: Wasn't that specific -- only searched by openssh chroot and openssh jail.  Only found examples with sftp no shell only
[15:22] <rijo> ubottu: ventrilo
[15:22] <Gnea> !info rssh
[15:22] <Kevdog> Gnea: Only example for shell access was through using old methods, using the patch, ext
[15:22] <Gnea> Kevdog: check that out ^^^
[15:22] <renatorabelo> Hi people . im having some trouble with firefox . i dont have any sound . If i try install libflashsupport , i have sound but firefox crash . does anybody know a workaround ??
[15:23] <omnydevi> renat - on 64 bit os?

[15:24] <Jack_Sparrow> DuncanGnome, You are welcome
[15:24] <unr3a1> is openoffice.org 3.0 available through apt-get yet?
[15:24] <Kevdog> Gnea: and Ubotto, thanks for your help
[15:24] <unr3a1> and if so, how do I update to it?
[15:25] <creolife> hey
[15:25] <creolife> seems dead in here
[15:25] <Soloportable> Gnea: if i have some time left later on the day I'll try to start ubuntu in text mode and see if i can track the kernel panic error. Debian lenny seems to have the samen problem.
[15:25] <creolife> for all the users haha
[15:26] <renatorabelo> my problem is only with firefox java sound . geez these bots .
[15:26] <mas2> I can't login when a password has numbers in it. It keeps telling me wrong password even tho I know it's the right.
[15:26] <amerinese> having some trouble killing a couple of processes, why might a process be unkillable?
[15:26] <Jack_Sparrow> creolife, Did you have a Ubuntu support question
[15:26] <creolife> is your numlock on?
[15:26] <creolife> no, thanks tho jack. im just here to check it out. first time on irc
[15:26] <Soloportable> amerinese: try killall -9 procesname :)
[15:26] <ndlovu> toocold, I used to use xpdf and I don't remember it supporting multiple pages per sheet
[15:26] <creolife> well, i do have a question
[15:27] <amerinese> in system monitor, the processes are listed as "zombie" and "uninterruptible"
[15:27] <creolife> how do i install a game if its a .bin file
[15:27] <Jack_Sparrow> creolife, Welllcome.  this channel is support only, others for chat and discussions
[15:27] <toocold> ndlovu: do you know of any more advanced pdf utilities?
[15:27] <the_squircle> toocold: xpdf?
[15:27] <Gnea> Soloportable: sounds like a hardware issue then... maybe it doesn't like how interrupts are being handled
[15:27] <Soloportable> creolife: chmod +x binfile && ./binfile
[15:27] <marcelo> Jack_Sparrow: It does not work, even though I removed xgalaga with synanptic and installed with apt-get, I still have the version I installed from source code.
[15:27] <toocold> toocold: it work let me print 2 or more slides one page
[15:27] <creolife> will that mount it and install it?
[15:28] <the_squircle> I'm having a problem with my X Keyboard configuration that's causing errors, and I'm told to report it as a bug... should I do it on launchpad?
[15:28] <Soloportable> Gnea: I know but it's a lenovo :) so it's working for 3 years with only open drivers. full intel chipset. Did they change someting to the interrupt routine handling in version 9?
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> marcelo, That was the first question I asked you.. How was it installed..
[15:28] <amerinese> Soloportable: so tried killall, was using kill before as well as through system monitor (but that should be the same), still doesn't die?
[15:28] <ndlovu> if you don't mind using the commandline, you could also print it to a .ps file and then use mpage. (cat print.ps | mpage -4 -bA4 -a | lpr)
[15:28] <Soloportable> creolife: it's a cd? You have to extract the iso image than and mount it in a loop
[15:28] <ndlovu> toocold, ^
[15:28] <Jack_Sparrow> marcelo, You said with apt-get..  Now you say from source
[15:29] <creolife> its not a cd, i downloaded it online. its a game called planeshift
[15:29] <Jack_Sparrow> marcelo, Sorry.. dont have time to help you
[15:29] <Soloportable> amerinese: what program/proces are you talking about?
[15:29] <roger_> marcelo, perhaps you have to manual delete the .xxx folder that the game created in your /home/name/ folder
[15:29] <amerinese> Soloportable tvtime
[15:29] <creolife> i know that since its a bin it needs to be mounted. im just unsure how in linux. fairly new
[15:30] <roger_> it could still be reading the information stored there
[15:30] <amerinese> again, the status is "uninterruptible" and "zombie"
[15:30] <somekool> Hi
[15:30] <Jack_Sparrow> creolife, BIN NEEDS TO BE MOUNTED ???
[15:30] <strongarm82> can somebody help me with a wireless network problem?
[15:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry for the caps
[15:30] <CarlFK> how do I make the () work for sudo (echo ppa >>/etc/apt/sources.list)
[15:30] <creolife> does it not? isnt a .bin an image file?
[15:30] <DennisG> hello. i have a problem. My taskbar is gone, as the bar on the upper side of the screen.
[15:30] <Soloportable> amerinese: what tv card? did you try to rmmod the driver?
[15:30] <erUSUL> CarlFK: $()
[15:30] <somekool> my ubuntu system does not recognize my 2GB of RAM. I did a grep HIGHMEM in /boot/* and the kernel option seems to be enabled. anyone have an idea what could be wrong?
[15:31] <Jack_Sparrow> creolife, What game/program.. exactly
[15:31] <DennisG> so.. what can i do? Restarting does not help.
[15:31] <fabsys> .j #ubuntu-fr
[15:31] <marcelo> Jack_Sparrow: Sorry, I installed it first with apt-get then I downloaded the source with apt-get source, changed the source run make and make install.
[15:31] <CarlFK> erUSUL: cool.  thanks
[15:31] <creolife> planeshift, its an mmorpg
[15:31] <strongarm82> why is it that only some wireless networks connect, but others time out while trying to get an IP address?
[15:31] <toocold> ndlovu: AH! xournal does what i want
[15:31] <Isvara> Jack_Sparrow: Did you think of anything? I'm all out of ideas.
[15:31] <Ward1983> erm... i order 1 32bit desktop CD, 1 64bit desktop, 1 32bit server and 1 64bit serverCD and i got 4 desktop CDs lol, apperantly they do not even read the custom shipping requests :s
[15:31] <Soloportable> CarlFK: use "" instead
[15:31] <misblay> hi!
[15:31] <amerinese> Soloportable: no, i'm not sure what that is but i can try that... it's an avertv hybrid fm+volar
[15:31] <Gnea> Soloportable: no idea, but if i was going to see if it had, i'd add this as a boot parameter:  pci=routeirq
[15:31] <misblay> i need help about ndiswrapper
[15:31] <Ward1983> where do i go to to ask for the remaining 3 CDs?
[15:31] <misblay> search but found nothing..
[15:31] <ndlovu> toocold, that's great
[15:31] <mas2> Why can't I have the numbers 1-9 in my user password? If I have, Ubuntu (8.10) keeps telling me I type the wrong password.
[15:31] <erUSUL> CarlFK: but "echo ppa | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list" is prefered style
[15:31] <Ward1983> since they dont read whatever i type :s
[15:31] <ZenithDK> hi, how do I go about installing touch screen drivers in Ubuntu?
[15:31] <creolife> im looking for a decent mmorpg for linux, im trying to install and play this while regnum is downloading
[15:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Isvara, Some say it worked with no issues or changes, others said it didnt work at all. no idea why the difference
[15:32] <tomtt> how do I open up a specific port for UDP on a ubuntu install?
[15:32] <Soloportable> Gnea: and what does that one do?
[15:32] <Isvara> It's not unheard of for companies to change hardware components without changing the model number, sadly.
[15:32] <misblay> hey! i need help here :)
[15:32] <Jack_Sparrow> Isvara, Or 4 versions of the same chipset as in bcm43xx
[15:33] <Soloportable> misblay: repeat the question :)
[15:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Isvara, All I can offer is a sympathetic ear..
[15:33] <misblay> i'm using a wireless pci card, with bcm4318
[15:33] <creolife> Jack_Sparrow: its called planeshift, its an mmorpg
[15:33] <misblay> yesterday i've installed the required drivers
[15:33] <misblay> via ndiswrapper
[15:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Isvara, Speak of the devil
[15:33] <misblay> but today it doesnt work :/
[15:33] <Pici> creolife: chmod +x file.bin ; sudo ./file.bin
[15:34] <Soloportable> misblay: did you use the exact files of the cd you got with the card?
[15:34] <misblay> though i can see it in the output of lspci
[15:34] <creolife> Pici: thanks
[15:34] <misblay> yes exact ones
[15:34] <misblay> yesterday everything was fine..
[15:34] <Soloportable> creolife: that was the same answer as i had given
[15:34] <misblay> after reboot it doesnt work
[15:34] <Soloportable> misblay: is ndiswrapper running? and are all the drivers loaded?
[15:35] <Jack_Sparrow> misblay, did you update this morning..  YOu may need to do that again..
[15:35] <Soloportable> misblay: lsmod | grep ndis
[15:35] <strongarm82> anyone know why with some wireless networks i can connect fine with Windows, but Linux times-out while trying to get an IP with both dhcpd and dhclient??
[15:35] <creolife> Soloportable: thanks, im just a n00b :p
[15:35] <DennisG> can someone help me? My task bar and the bar on the upper of the screen are gone. I dont know how to fix it
[15:35] <amerinese> Soloportable: hmm, so rmmod the driver doesn't work because it's busy, force didn't work with it either
[15:35] <misblay> Soloportable: i'll try that one
[15:35] <Jack_Sparrow> DennisG, the X O _ close minimize etc.. or another
[15:35] <DennisG> no
[15:36] <DennisG> the thing above that
[15:36] <Soloportable> amerinese: so now you know what hangs :)
[15:36] <DennisG> With the ubunto logo and the things like system and stuff
[15:36] <misblay> Jack_Sparrow: it didnt work, i've done same thing from first step to last..
[15:36] <heath|work> is it possible to have a usb drive in /etc/fstab mount only when available?
[15:36] <creolife> Soloportable: cannot access `planeshift.bin': No such file or directory
[15:36] <misblay> wait i'll reboot and try lsmod..
[15:36] <Isvara> So I guess I can either try another distribution, or use XP. Neither option appeals.
[15:37] <marcelo> Jack_Sparrow: I installed it first with apt-get then I downloaded the source with apt-get source, changed the source run make and make install.
[15:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Isvara, MAy I pm you
[15:37] <Isvara> Jack_Sparrow: Sure
[15:37] <roger_> DennisG are you refering to the bar on top that shows what windows is open, the trash can, and log out
[15:37] <jimmi_jo> hi. I have problems getting ubuntu desktop 8.10 to start installing when choosing "install ubuntu" from the install menu. The laptop is a thinkpad T23. I tried selecting "acpi=off" using the F6 options, as suggested on the ubuntu forum. I can see HD activity for awhile, and then nothing happens and I can navigate the install menu again
[15:37] <Gnea> Soloportable: just what it says it does: routes the irq's
[15:37] <Soloportable> creolife: did you chmod +x the file succesfully? ./planeshift.bin should work if you are in the right directory?
[15:38] <jimmi_jo> md5sum of the CD also checks out ok
[15:38] <creolife> Soloportable: so i need to change to the directory the file is in?
[15:38] <Ward1983> you know how the gnome-panaes are animated now? can i switch that off?
[15:38] <amerinese> Soloportable: so there are processes that can't be killed ever?  without a restart?  should that be surprising to me?
[15:38] <gimpophile> is there a place t seach for chat rooms?
[15:38] <Soloportable> Gnea: i was guessing that :) Sorry i only do assembler on 8 bit µcontrollers so i'm not an expert in hardware layer working
[15:38] <creolife> Soloportable: and how would i change the directory to the desktop?
[15:38] <Jack_Sparrow> jimmi_jo, HAve you run the cd self test
[15:38] <Soloportable> creolife: would be handy :)
[15:38] <jimmi_jo> Jack_Sparrow: yes, and that does nothing as well
[15:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jimmi_jo, than you have a bad disk.. see md5 and or re-download it..
[15:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !md5
[15:39] <Soloportable> amerinese: it could happen but now you know what to look for. Maybe tv4linux guys have a fix or work around
[15:39] <ndlovu> is it possible to convert an existing windows partition to a virtual machine?
[15:39] <tomtt> I'm trying to start a server on port 8308. I can access it from
[15:39] <tomtt> localhost, but not from outside. There are no rules in my iptables,
[15:39] <tomtt> what disables access from outside? How do I enable it?
[15:39] <Soloportable> creolife: cd Desktop or cd Bureablad of whatever language you speak
[15:39] <heath|work> Isvara, what is your issue?
[15:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jimmi_jo, If this is a Dell or HP, butn it at the slowest possible speed.
[15:39] <DennisG> mmm please help. is it possible that gnome-panel is broken?
[15:40] <bullgard4> uptime reports '8 users'. How to list these 8?
[15:40] <Gnea> Soloportable: that's quite a niche, no problem :)
[15:40] <roger_> DennisG are you refering to the bar on top that shows what windows is open, the trash can, and log out
[15:40] <heath|work> bullgard4, users
[15:40] <DennisG> yes
[15:40] <Jack_Sparrow> DennisG, You can reset gnome panel to defaults, but you would lose any custom settings launchers
[15:40] <Isvara> heath|work: Apparent lockup after choosing Live or Install from the bootloader, seemingly regardless of command line options.
[15:40] <jimmi_jo> Jack_Sparrow: md5sum is checked and ok, re-burned the cd, same issue. will try another cd then
[15:40] <DennisG> Jack_Sparrow, no problem. as long it will work again
[15:40] <jimmi_jo> Jack_Sparrow: the laptop is a thinkpad t23
[15:40] <strongarm82> where is /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf located in Ubuntu?
[15:41] <jtaji> bullgard4: try 'w' and 'who'
[15:41] <Soloportable> DennisG: if you didn't do anything it could be broken. But try to move you .gnome folder and relogin
[15:41] <ndlovu> DennisG, I assume you've tried just restarting X?
[15:41] <creolife> Soloportable: it has started installing, thanks alot. but will it show up in the applications list?
[15:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !resetpanel
[15:41] <DennisG> i did
[15:41] <DennisG> let me first reset gnome-panel
[15:41] <joe-mac> i'm beginning to think that preseeding is broken in hardy... if i pass the options via the append line it works. can anyone confirm this?
[15:41] <amerinese> soloportable: alright thanks, i guess i'll leave it be
[15:41] <joe-mac> well, at least the hardy i have
[15:42] <Soloportable> creolife: probably not ; just make a new item, chose a pictogram and hard config the command
[15:42] <heath|work> what is your hardware?
[15:42] <heath|work> Isvara, ^
[15:42] <DennisG> mmm
[15:42] <DennisG> it does not work
[15:42] <mas2> Is it possible to create a ntfs partion out of free space on my ext3 partion? If so which is the easisest way? Need xp to run an application that doesn't run good enough for Vbox.
[15:42] <strongarm82> where is /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf located in Ubuntu?
[15:42] <creolife> Soloportable: haha no idea how to do that. and i dont want to take any more of your time. thanks for the help. ill use google for the shortcut :)
[15:42] <DennisG> even not after a reset i think. is it possible to fix this or am i screwed up?
[15:42] <joejc> whats a good torrent client?
[15:42] <roger_> right click bottom panel, new panel, right click new panel, add whatever you need
[15:43] <Isvara> heath|work: Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop -- amd64, nvidia
[15:43] <mas2> joejc: Deluge
[15:43] <bullgard4> heath|work, jtaji: Thank you for your help.
[15:43] <heath|work> Isvara, 64bit install?
[15:43] <Isvara> I've tried both, with the same result
[15:43] <Photoguy> joejc,what's wrong with one that's included?
[15:44] <heath|work> Isvara, k... give me a sec to look at the specs
[15:44] <joejc> i dont like the one included
[15:44] <mas2> joejc: did you use windows before? If you did and used uTorrent you will be pleased with Deluge.
[15:44] <joejc> ok
[15:44] <Soloportable> Gnea: i leave it for today. I have a lot of work left to do
[15:44] <Soloportable> greetings
[15:45] <misblay> back again (:
[15:45] <mas2> Which application can I create a ntfs partion out of free space on my ext3 partion that I use for ubuntu?
[15:45] <misblay> lsmod | grep ndis doesnt output anything
[15:45] <evowill_> mas2, gparted, and from the liveCD if that is the hard drive you are booting from.
[15:45] <misblay> mas2: try gparted
[15:45] <heath|work> Isvara, on the bottom there should be a longer number CQ60-something
[15:45] <kapipi> Hmm, can I have dpkg do something like the reverse of dpkg -L package,  to find out to which package a given file belongs
[15:46] <Isvara> heath|work: CQ60-107EM
[15:46] <mas2> evowill_, misblay: thanks! Would you happend to know what happends if I have grub installed and ubuntu and create a ntfs partion and install win XP on it. Will grub notice this and add it to the menu?
[15:46] <misblay> anyone here who helped me a few mins ago?
[15:47] <DennisG> mmm, looks like gnome-panel is running but not showing. what can i do??
[15:47] <misblay> mas2: i dont know the default but, if you re-install grup, yes probably it should notice that..
[15:47] <misblay> i need help with ndiswrapper
[15:48] <mas2> misblay: but which OS do you think will load after I install XP. Ubuntu or the last one, XP ? I want Ubuntu to be my primary OS and XP occasionally for a few apps.
[15:48] <samrocksc> does anyone know if bitchx has changed names in the repository for synaptic`
[15:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !find bitchx
[15:48] <pdelgado> I have two (older) computers that I want to donate to a homeless kids shelter... and I wanted some advise regarding what OS to put in them... I was thinking about setting them up with Ubuntu + Sugar (the OLPC shell)... or the other option would be a clean install of Edubuntu, any ideas?
[15:48] <misblay> mas2: it doesnt matter, you can change the GRUB menu order by editing necessary file
[15:49] <samrocksc> nice
[15:49] <Pici> samrocksc: Bitchx is no longer supported upstream, it has been removed from the repository.
[15:49] <ndlovu> has anyone used VMware converter? http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/
[15:49] <misblay> Jack_Sparrow: lsmod | grep ndis doesnt output anytinhg, what should i do?
[15:49] <samrocksc> pici ircii, any non-xchat stuff it's been a year since i
[15:49] <samrocksc> doh~, installed anything
[15:49] <heath|work> Isvara, from what I see it should be fine.  Did you test the cd?
[15:49] <Guest90076> Hello guys, I have problem with reconfigurin my xorg.conf, dpkg-reconfigure does not reconfigure my graphic card, it does just my Keyboard and then exits, any idea ?
[15:49] <Jack_Sparrow> misblay, I am a bit busy.. please address the question to the channel
[15:50] <mas2> misblay: Okey then I will make an try and use gparted to make an partion partion to install xp on and hopefully grub understands.
[15:50] <vigo> mas2: you can also edit that in Winiconfig or BIOS,,,,,whatever you are comfortable with
[15:50] <DennisG> can someone PLEASE help?
[15:50] <tomtt> If I start a mongrel on a port on my server, I can not access it from the outside? What blocks it and how can I enable it?
[15:50] <Jack_Sparrow> mas2, If the partition is below ubuntu, grub will complain as well as fstab.. but XP prefers to be #! partition
[15:50] <misblay> Jack_Sparrow: i did, and you said something a few mins ago, thats why i've asked.. anyone to help, excep Jack (:
[15:51] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[15:51] <Jack_Sparrow> DennisG, The next ugh would be to try and rest all of gnome to defaults
[15:51] <heath|work> !alternate
[15:51] <mas2> Jack_Sparrow: so I might get an error on boot after created a ntfs partion out of free space from ext3 partio and install XP on (got ubuntu and grub installed). So neither OS will boot and get error?
[15:51] <heath|work> Isvara, ^
[15:52] <misblay> I need help with NDISWRAPPER, anyone to help?
[15:52] <vigo> Yes, Jack_Sparrow is correct
[15:52] <Isvara> heath|work: Ahh... ha, well, that's also one of the options that doesn't work. But I've burned two CDs (one 64-bit, one 32-bit) so it seems unlikely that that's the problem. Also, another symptom. You know the initial language selection in the bootloader? If I don't select that quickly enough, it locks up anyway.
[15:52] <RawHeartless> What software do I need to do some video editing (change the audio, add images to the video and upload it to youtube)
[15:52] <RawHeartless> on Ubuntu 8.10
[15:52] <misblay> need help with NDISWRAPPER (:
[15:53] <Jack_Sparrow> mas2, If you install XP  then XP should boot  than ou would need to fix ubuntu
[15:53] <ASULutzy> misblay: I would suggest sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[15:53] <ASULutzy> misblay: It makes using ndiswrapper a bit easier, it's a graphical frontend for it
[15:53] <heath|work> Isvara, I would try the alternate cd then
[15:53] <misblay> ASULutzy: i'll try it, but actually this is a bit different problem
[15:53] <heath|work> use the text based installer
[15:53] <ASULutzy> misblay: Ok, then go ahead and explain your problem
[15:53] <Jack_Sparrow> DennisG, The next ugh would be to try and rest all of gnome to defaults as in    To Reset All of Gnome: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/       In terminal type:         rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[15:54] <mas2> Jack_Sparrow: Okey if at least one of the OS boot I can always fix the problem. Could probaly d
[15:54] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[15:54] <misblay> ASULutzy: yesterday i could connect to my modem, but after first reboot with my new PCI wireless card, using bcm4318 chipset, i cant connect now
[15:54] <mas2> probaly do that even if they didn't but then I would have ascces to irc and google :)
[15:54] <ASULutzy> misblay: Are you using Intrepid?
[15:54] <misblay> nope hardy
[15:54] <roger_> mas2, you installed windows xp after ubuntu and grub is messed up right
[15:54] <roger_> you have a live cd
[15:54] <alex_sleiborg> Hey. I suddenly can't start open office 3.0, due to an unexpected error. Any help?
[15:54] <roger_> easy to fix
[15:54] <Jack_Sparrow> mas2, See the link on fixing grub after installing windows
[15:55] <mas2> Jack_Sparrow: thanks!
[15:55] <ASULutzy> misblay: you could lsmod | grep -i ndiswrapper
[15:55] <RockClimber> anyone using ubuntu without the fglrx driver and getting an HD2400 working?
[15:55] <Jack_Sparrow> mas2, Make note of partition numbers before you install xp.. it will halp later
[15:55] <misblay> ASULutzy, ah sorry i'm using 8.10, which is intrepid though i didnt know its name (:
[15:55] <misblay> i'll try now
[15:56] <Jack_Sparrow> mas2  sudo fdisk -l  after you create partition for XP and before you reboot
[15:56] <misblay> ASULutzy: it doesnt output anyting..
[15:56] <ASULutzy> Oh,then real quick, check System -> Administration ->Hardware Drivers, maybe there's an off chance that Ubuntu can use proprietary drivers
[15:56] <Jack_Sparrow> mas2, see also uuid's
[15:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !uuid
[15:56] <ASULutzy> misblay: So ndiswrapper isn't loaded, you could just do modprobe ndiswrapper maybe?
[15:56] <Slart> alex_sleiborg: no more specific error messages? checked in /var/log/syslog? tried starting from a terminal?
[15:56] <misblay> ASULutzy, already checked it, it doesnt work
[15:57] <roger_> boot live cd, open terminal, sudo grub, root (hdx,x)-- x being the partition grub resides, setup (hdx) exit
[15:57] <misblay> i'll try that one, actually i've tried before..
[15:57] <NicEXE> how can I mount a *.vdi file?
[15:57] <heath|work> misblay, linksys?
[15:57] <alex_sleiborg> Slart: It's tries to recover an old document, and then something goes wrong. And i teminates the app
[15:57] <misblay> ASULutzy, allright "modprobe ndiswrapper" i've done that
[15:57] <Slart> NicEXE: perhaps convert it to an iso.. what program creates vdi files?
[15:58] <misblay> heath|work, are you asking pci card?
[15:58] <ASULutzy> misblay: Ok, well what does iwconfig say
[15:58] <NicEXE> Slart: VBox
[15:58] <heath|work> yeah... are you still on that?
[15:58] <ASULutzy> Slart: vdi stands for virtual disk image I believe
[15:58] <saera> hi i have processes running that i dont control how to terminatethem ? http://pastebin.com/m1aa39d68
[15:58] <misblay> ASULutzy, unfortunately nothing, this is my problem actually..
[15:58] <misblay> heath|work, yes i couldnt solve it yet..
[15:59] <ASULutzy> saera: Which of those do you want to terminate and why?
[15:59] <RawHeartless> What software do I need to do some video editing (change the audio, add images to the video and upload it to youtube) - Ubuntu 8.10
[15:59] <Slart> ASULutzy, NicEXE: aahh.. I have a few of those.. didn't even think of it.. hmm.. virtualbox doesn't offer anything that can edit these files?
[15:59] <heath|work> misblay, you have to go to linuxwireless.org and download the firmware
[15:59] <vigo> I still have problems remembering the |pm stuff, can I disable it in Pigen
[15:59] <ASULutzy> misblay, heath|work: I thought you said you had it working yesterday?
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> RawHeartless,  For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications
[16:00] <misblay> ASULutzy, yes i did..
[16:00] <ASULutzy> misblay: after doing modprobe ndiswrapper, what does iwconfig now say
[16:00] <NicEXE> Slart: VBox can only attach them to a virtual pc
[16:00] <misblay> ASULutzy, heathwork misunderstood i guess..
[16:00] <misblay> ASULutzy, unfortunately nothing, this is my problem actually..
[16:00] <piksi> RawHeartless: kino & pitivi for simple stuff but for more serious blender
[16:00] <ASULutzy> misblay: install ndisgtk, then go to system -> administration -> windows wireless drivers, and point that app to your windows wireless driver (the .inf file) I believe
[16:00] <Slart> NicEXE: this looks promising.. if a bit hackish.. http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=52

[16:01] <ASULutzy> saera: Er, I don't really know what you consider unimportant :) what does free -m say
[16:01] <heath|work> there is ubuntu instructions
[16:01] <Slart> !away > PV_Work
[16:01] <misblay> ASULutzy, i'll try it right now

[16:02] <saera> ASULutzy, all but i want a sytem at the end of it
[16:02] <heath|work> misblay, actually ubuntu has it just run sudo /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
[16:02] <Slart> eax: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart will reset them all..
[16:02] <chibacityblues> Hi there! I want to start a 2nd X server. this works and I can ctrl+f8 to it. what doesn't work is starting xterm on that display - I always get 'client 1 rejected from local host'. any ideas?

[16:02] <SmokeyD> any ideas?
[16:02] <misblay> heath|work, the guide i've followed by installing drivers, writer said since i'll use ndiswrapper, b43 can make problem, isnt it true?
[16:02] <eax> Slart: Thanks :)
[16:02] <Slart> eax: you're welcome
[16:03] <heath|work> yeah if you are using ndiswrapper
[16:03] <ASULutzy> saera: None of those look unimportant really... I mean you could kill the ssh server and the antivirus stuff, but what does free -m say? Why are you trying to kill processes
[16:03] <Gnea> SmokeyD: you might want to try #ubuntu-server
[16:03] <Gnea> !xen
[16:03] <heath|work> just modeprobe ndiswrapper  if you have already done the rest
[16:03] <ASULutzy> heath|work: I've already had him do that
[16:03] <SmokeyD> Gnea: ok, thanks. Didn't know it existed :) sorry
[16:03] <misblay> heath|work, it doesnt work unfortunately..
[16:03] <Gnea> SmokeyD: no problem :)

[16:05] <eax> Slart: It didn't work :/ The problem is that I used the terminal to try to connect to my network (it's wep and for some reason it won't connect) but now I can't even see other networks :S
[16:05] <Ziber> How can I list all the things that an ip is listening for?
[16:05] <saera> http://pastebin.com/m3cd757dc ASULutzy
[16:05] <eax> Slart: Nevermind, magically now it's working O_o WEP still doesn't work..
[16:05] <misblay> ASULutzy, sudo rmmod b43 outputs that it doesnt exist..
[16:06] <vigo> Thxpnp_^Laptop: My pleasure
[16:06] <misblay> ASULutzy, if i try to load b43 and delete ndiswrapper, is it going to conflict?
[16:06] <ASULutzy> Ziber: netstat -ta will show all listening tcp ports I think
[16:07] <ASULutzy> misblay: Yes
[16:07] <misblay> ASULutzy, and what should i do then?
[16:07] <heath|work> misblay, apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[16:07] <RawHeartless> thanks!!
[16:07] <heath|work> misblay, then just run sudo /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
[16:07] <Ziber> ASULutzy: I want to list it seperately for different ips
[16:07] <misblay> heath|work, ASULutzy just confirmed that it will cause a conflict with ndiswrapper
[16:07] <horstle> hi
[16:08] <misblay> heath|work, are you sure that it wont? cause i've read it somewhere..
[16:08] <heath|work> remove the ndiswrapper driver
[16:08] <Ziber> I want list all the ports that an ip is listening on, I mean.
[16:08] <misblay> heath|work, ah wait, somehow ndiswrapper showed up at lsmod :)
[16:09] <misblay> ASULutzy, ndiswrapper showed up at lsmod, what should i do now?
[16:09] <misblay> ASULutzy, actually it doesnt seemed working to me..
[16:09] <hobbes006> thanks to the guys who referred me to the fstab document. works great.
[16:09] <Slart> eax: I can't really say anything wise about wireless networks.. it's still voodoo to me
[16:09] <misblay> ASULutzy, "ndiswrapper 196380 0" is output
[16:10] <ASULutzy> misblay: it showed up in lsmod because you loaded it with modprobe, if you don't want to use ndiswrapper and want to try b43, you can rmmod ndiswrapper and then load b43, if it was working before and now it isn't, I would consider basically doing it over, but this time use ndisgtk, it's generally less error prone since you just have to point it to the correct driver
[16:10] <Ziber> lsof -i -n -P -l | grep LISTEN | grep <ip> <-- that works.
[16:11] <misblay> ASULutzy, i've tried so many times that it should show up till now..
[16:11] <MOUD> Hey again
[16:11] <dragon33> greetings, i'm running v8.04 and would like to install a gui based ftp prgram.  iw ould appreciate any recommendations, thanks!
[16:11] <chibacityblues> nobody running a 2nd X?
[16:11] <Slart> MOUD: gftp is nice
[16:11] <jrib> chibacityblues: ask your question
[16:11] <Slart> !ftp | MOUD
[16:11] <misblay> ASULutzy, and, though it has showed up, i still cant connect :/
[16:12] <heath|work> misblay, did you edit your /etc/modules file
[16:12] <misblay> ASULutzy, but iwconfig returns as it should :)
[16:12] <MOUD> Where's the video card options file? I think it's the xorg.conf (/etc/X11)
[16:12] <dragon33> thanks guys
[16:12] <misblay> heath|work, should i? the guide didnt point it..
[16:12] <Slart> MOUD: basically anything you'll find in the Add/Remove section with a little ubuntu symbols on it is nice
[16:12] <dragon33> and gals! hehe
[16:12] <heath|work> that's how ndiswrapper will load on reboots, but you should still be able to get it working otherwise
[16:12] <ASULutzy> misblay: Sorry what does iwconfig say?
[16:13] <alex_sleiborg> I have the same problem like this guy, anyone know how i can fix this? I really need to get OOO up and running today. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-au/2008-December/004456.html
[16:13] <toocold> how can i make take the pages of one PDF file, and then make it so that there are 4 slides per page in the new PDF?
[16:13] <ASULutzy> misblay: And heath|work is right, you need to add /etc/modules if you want ndiswrapper to load up on boot
[16:13] <misblay> ASULutzy, ah excuse me, it was ifconfig that has output
[16:14] <misblay> ASULutzy, iwconfig still doesnt output anything :S
[16:14] <chibacityblues> jrib: I'm able to start the 2nd instance, ctrl+f8 to it but I can't start a xterm on it - i always get ' X: client 1 rejected from local host' from X
[16:14] <jrib> toocold: maybe with pdftk.  I have no idea if it does that, but that would be the first place I would look
[16:14] <Hobbes`> whats the best way to uninstall gnome and all dependencies ?
[16:14] <RawHeartless> Is there in Ubuntu any software were you can capture what is going on in your screen while recording (ex. to make a video tutorial for The Gimp, recording all the steps you are doing)?
[16:14] <jrib> chibacityblues: how are you doing those things?
[16:14] <Hobbes`> apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop doesn't work
[16:14] <Slart> MOUD: hmm.. they seem to have removed the little ubuntu symbol in Add/Remove.. nevermind that then
[16:14] <misblay> heath|work, i didnt care about ndiswrapper to load on boot, i just want it to get working and then i'll solve rest :/
[16:15] <joejc> how do i get virtual machine no my network?
[16:15] <jrib> !puregnome | Hobbes`
[16:15] <RawHeartless> hobbes try to install first other destkop suck K
[16:15] <RawHeartless> then apt-get
[16:15] <jrib> who was the genius who wrote that...
[16:15] <jrib> Hobbes`: one second
[16:15] <Guest33027> Does anybody know a reason why /etc/init.d may disappear???
[16:15] <Slart> !info gtk-recordmydesktop | RawHeartless
[16:15] <kellojoe> can somebody help with how to make ubuntu play vcd and vcd menu?
[16:16] <misblay> i'll try to use b43 drivers :S i think that will be the best..
[16:16] <Hobbes`> i don't have the disk space for a dist-upgrade.. so planning to get rid of gnome before the dist-upgrade
[16:16] <ASULutzy> Guest33027: Er, you mean there's nothing in /etc/init.d ?
[16:16] <RawHeartless> thans slart
[16:16] <Guest33027> I have an installation of 8.04 server that is missing all of /etc/init.d
[16:16] <j_bsdxinu> kellojoe, vlc
[16:17] <ASULutzy> Guest33027: accidental space or something while doing rm -rf on something is my guess :-/
[16:17] <Guest33027> It was working and I wanted to add a script
[16:17] <vigo> If I wanted Irfanview32, an image viewer thing, how would or could I get it?
[16:17] <jrib> Hobbes`: wait.  Why are you running 'dist-upgrade'?
[16:17] <Guest33027> I went to look for the directory and nothing was there
[16:17] <Slart> vigo: is it available from the repos?
[16:17] <Hobbes`> jrib need to upgrade from gutsy ..
[16:18] <eax_> Hi :) I just put a 64 Bit 10 Hex Digit WEP key on my wireless network and now my other computer won't connect to it. It's running 8.10 while this computer (I'm typing on) is running 7.10. It works on this one but not on the new one? Both "dots" are green but it's still trying to connect. What do I do?
[16:18] <vigo> Slart: No
[16:18] <Guest33027> I really do not recall deleting it. Any other ideas ASULutzy?
[16:18] <jrib> Hobbes`: that's not the proper way to upgrade between ubuntu versions
[16:18] <Hobbes`> will be using the gui
[16:18] <jrib> !upgrade > Hobbes`
[16:18] <ASULutzy> Guest33027: Heh, well someone running as root did?
[16:18] <vigo> Slart: It is a nice Open Source image tool thingy
[16:18] <toocold> can someone please help me print a pdf file, with 4 slides per page?
[16:18] <scott-1987> Boa tarde a todos
[16:18] <stefano> how install cinelerra in ubuntu 8.10?
[16:18] <Hobbes`> but i want to get rid of gnome before i upgrade
[16:18] <Slart> vigo: yes, I've used it on windows.. never seen it in linux though
[16:19] <Pici> !br | scott-1987
[16:19] <jrib> Hobbes`: you want a metapackage like ubuntu-desktop installed when you upgrade.  Do you have one other than ubuntu-desktop installed?
[16:19] <ZenithDK> what calibration tool is used for touchscreens in Ubuntu Mobile Edition?
[16:19] <Slart> vigo: the author recommends running it with wine or similar.. I think you'd be better off finding a native image viewer you like
[16:19] <heath|work> misblay, why don't you just install the native stuff?
[16:19] <Hobbes`> jrib nope ... apt-get remove ubuntu-dekstop only remove a 40-50kb package
[16:19] <chibacityblues> jrib: starting X:   X :1.0  and in another terminal  xterm -display :1.0
[16:19] <Guest33027> The server has been running for months. We even updated from 7.10 with no problem
[16:19] <Slart> vigo: http://www.irfanview.com/faq.htm#Q45
[16:20] <jrib> chibacityblues: never did it like that.  Is there a reason you aren't using 'startx'?
[16:20] <Hobbes`> and autoremove doesn't show any missing deps either
[16:20] <jrib> Hobbes`: that wasn't my question
[16:20] <eax_> Hi :) I just put a 64 Bit 10 Hex Digit WEP key on my wireless network and now my other computer won't connect to it. It's running 8.10 while this computer (I'm typing on) is running 7.10. It works on this one but not on the new one? Both "dots" are green but it's still trying to connect. What do I do?
[16:20] <misblay> heath|work, i've done that now, and iwconfig has a nice output now :)
[16:20] <CheesyMcPuffs> can i change my password?
[16:20] <scott-1987> Pici thank you!
[16:20] <Hobbes`> jrib it's a standard ubuntu install
[16:20] <chibacityblues> jrib: nope, just wanted to keep it simple ;) sec, i try
[16:20] <ASULutzy> Guest33027: Well, there's no reason /etc/init.d/ would just disappear because it felt like it that I can think of ;)
[16:20] <misblay> heath|work, but it doesnt seem to be able to connect network :S
[16:21] <misblay> iwlist doesnt fine anything :S
[16:21] <unavailable> !bestbot > unavailable
[16:21] <vigo> Slart: Hrmmm,,a new challenge then?
[16:21] <Hobbes`> i don't use gnome though
[16:21] <jrib> chibacityblues: startx -- :1      iirc
[16:21] <Guest33027> Any way I could reinstall it without reinstalling the whole system?
[16:22] <jrib> Hobbes`: I bet upgrade-manager will install ubuntu-desktop anyway, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE.   How much space do you need?
[16:22] <Hobbes`> I have about 300megs
[16:22] <heath|work> misblay, so you have install the b43 stuff?
[16:22] <jrib> Hobbes`: how much does it say you need?
[16:22] <misblay> heath|work, yes
[16:22] <Hobbes`> no idea .. letm e check
[16:22] <unavailable> What happened to BestBot
[16:22] <unavailable> ?
[16:22] <Neremor> hello!
[16:23] <Neremor> i've a question
[16:23] <Guest33027> init.d needs to be there right? There is no other boot service system control that does not use it?
[16:23] <vigo> Guest33027: That is what backups are for,,and I still have not backed this one up,,no CD-RWs or something goofy with my CD-Rom
[16:23] <misblay> heath|work, what to do now?
[16:23] <unavailable> !ask | Neremor
[16:23] <Neremor> which device in /dev/input/... is processing the keyboard-entrys?
[16:23] <unavailable> nickrud: what happened to bestbot?
[16:24] <nickrud> unavailable, not sure. You could try asking in -bots (if no one's there, try -ops)
[16:24] <ohzie> Neremor, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=301244 is all I can find on that.
[16:24] <misblay> heath|work, what to do now?
[16:25] <Repolete__> #ubuntu-es
[16:25] <chibacityblues> jrib: thanks, it works. mit-magic-cookie stuff i suppose. now i only need to get it to start fluxbox instead of gnome on the 2nd instance.
[16:25] <Guest33027> vigo: I know. I'm trying to avoid sorting out a messy collection of old back ups that may end up being useless anyhow
[16:25] <vigo> Can I get World Wind from NASA for this WUBI 8.10 system?
[16:25] <jrib> chibacityblues: fluxbox wiki should tell you what to put in your ~/.xinitrc
[16:25] <misblay> heath|work, what to do now?
[16:25] <e> Hi, did anyone try Ubintu minimal install, is it worth to bother ?
[16:26] <misblay> ASULutzy, i've installed b43 drivers, but iwlist doesnt find anything, what to do now?
[16:26] <Guest33027> I would not mind end up with default script (which is what I had).
[16:26] <Hobbes`> misblay did you install the firmware too ?
[16:26] <Neremor> no that didn't help sorry
[16:27] <misblay> Hobbes', firmware? just apt-get install fwcutter, isnt it enough?
[16:27] <scott-1987> Hello little girls
[16:27] <Hobbes`> nope you need to get the firmware and run fwcutter to extract it
[16:27] <chibacityblues> jrib: yep, that won't be a big problem. I want to access this 2nd X via nxfree. vnc is so sluggish.
[16:27] <heath|work> misblay, did you run sudo /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
[16:28] <razius> did anybody here managed to put a ralink rt61 wireless card into master mode?
[16:28] <misblay> heath|work, but it doesnt seem to be able to connect network :
[16:28] <misblay> sorry wrong message :/
[16:28] <vigo> Guest33027: That is a kinda backup, I like to backup rb. stuff and other neato stuff that doesn't come with the install
[16:29] <Slart> can someone try if ubottu answers to !info commands in pm? He used to do that before but not today.. just wonder if it's just me he hates
[16:29] <misblay> heath|work, there isnt a directory such as b43-fwcutter in usr/share ?
[16:29] <mker> e, obviously that depends on what you want.
[16:29] <ppq> hello! iv'e got a kernel problem with ubuntu hardy heron. i built a 2.6.28 vanilla kernel yesterday to test ext4. it didn't work that good with the binary nvidia drivers so i removed the generated 2.6.28 kernel .deb package and manually modified my /boot/grub/menu.lst to boot the 2.6.24-22 thing from the official ubuntu repos, which i installed after apt-get remov'ing the 2.6.28. it works well, but when i started update-manager to install an update, it told
[16:29] <ppq> me to run this command: http://paste.ubuntu.com/101728/ .. the output doesn't look like it's all good now. what can i do to fix that?
[16:29] <woland> hi. whats the command name to launch the screen resolution gui?
[16:29] <heath|work> misblay, did you apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[16:29] <jrib> Slart: he answers me, but only if I omit the initial !
[16:29] <happymcplaksin> Does anybody else have the modifier key problem when using two keyboards as described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/292727/ ?
[16:30] <happymcplaksin> I've tried the workaround but either I did it wrong or it doesn't work for me
[16:30] <Joostoo> Hay peepz :D
[16:30] <misblay> heath|work, since i cant connect internet, i've downloaded .deb package from packages.ubuntu.org
[16:30] <Slart> jrib: ahh.. well.. I guess you could call that a feature =) thanks
[16:30] <heath|work> misblay, and installed correct?
[16:30] <misblay> heath|work, of course..
[16:31] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[16:31] <misblay> btw, b43 is still blacklisted, is it a problem though i've run modprobe b43
[16:31] <silv3r_m00n> where can i see the contents of sudoers file of ubuntu 8.04 after a fresh installation
[16:31] <chibacityblues> cya
[16:31] <Guest33027> vigo: As for as you know all possible configurations use init.d right? I just do not know if it was there when the server was first installed

[16:32] <misblay> heath|work, any suggestions on how to make a succesful network scan?
[16:33] <Nillerz> Hello everyone. I have a slight problem. I used ndiswrapper to install windows drivers for a realtek 8187se wifi radio chipset and even though it apparently worked according to ndiswrapper, I cannot detect the device in a network manager
[16:33] <SmokeyD> ?xen
[16:33] <SmokeyD> xen?
[16:33] <toader> Hi, in Ubuntu how to crack wireless connection?
[16:33] <SmokeyD> how do I get the info for xen from the bot?
[16:33] <misblay> heath|work, any suggestions on how to make a succesful network scan?
[16:33] <SmokeyD> !zen
[16:34] <SmokeyD> !xen
[16:34] <SmokeyD> finally. sorry for the spam
[16:34] <Nillerz> Hello everyone. I have a slight problem. I used ndiswrapper to install windows drivers for a realtek 8187se wifi radio chipset and even though it apparently worked according to ndiswrapper, I cannot detect the device in a network manager
[16:34] <ASULutzy> !repeat | Nillerz
[16:34] <vigo> Guest33027: I would have to research that, as I am disabled it takes me time to readjust to stuff I have been away from for a while.
[16:34] <Slart> toader: not discussed here.. see !piracy and I guess !coc for more info
[16:34] <woland> would someone mind running the screen resolution tool and letting me know what the actual process cmd is?
[16:35] <misblay> heath|work, i've re-installed fwcutter but it didnt solve :S
[16:35] <Slart> woland: toader: not discussed here.. see !piracy and I guess !coc for more info
[16:35] <Slart> would someone mind running the screen resolution tool and letting me know what the actual process cmd is?
[16:35] <Slart> oops..
[16:35] <Slart> woland: gnome-display-properties
[16:35] <misblay> ASULutzy, do you have any idea about how to use b43 drivers properly?
[16:36] <ASULutzy> misblay: No, I used to use ndiswrapper for my Broadcom card, but then since Intrepid I can just use the proprietary drivers
[16:36] <vigo> This text is too tiny! I try to fix and be back
[16:36] <Guest33027> vigo: I'll keep researching. Problem is I do not know if it was there to start with, but then again why cause problems know unless it has to do with an update.
[16:36] <misblay> ASULutzy, and fwcutter is the proprietary driver :)
[16:36] <woland> Slart: i'm guessing your first comment to me was a mistake :o
[16:36] <heath|work> misblay, it will not work if it is not connected to the internet
[16:37] <heath|work> fwcutter will download and load the drivers for you
[16:37] <Slart> woland: indeed.. copy pasting can be soooo hard sometimes =)
[16:37] <heath|work> can you not plug it in somewhere and get it working?
[16:37] <woland> Slart: tab complete ;)
[16:37] <misblay> heath|work, i've downloaded .deb package and you say that it wont work? it didnt require internet connection by the time it has been installed
[16:37] <ASULutzy> misblay: I use the Broadcom STA driver
[16:38] <Guest33027> vigo, ASULutzy, Thank you for your time.
[16:38] <Meystro> kann mir mal jemand um mein kleines problemchen helfen? ^^
[16:39] <heath|work> misblay, I have the same card and just redid it
[16:39] <Nillerz> http://www.nillerz.net/pastebin.php?show=m3839d139 As you can see by line 26, the device is there but not working. :c

[16:40] <darksyst3m> hi
[16:40] <dundellll> i'm using ubuntu 7.04, when i do aan apt-get update, ubuntu can't find the package.gz
[16:41] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[16:41] <silv3r_m00n> how can i switch back fro kdm to gdm
[16:41] <Meystro> ich skype mitnem kumpel gerade und komischerweiße hör ik aus den lautsprecher und über meine kopfhörer seine stimme wie kann ik es einstellen das es nur über kopfhörer geht?
[16:41] <Slart> !feisty
[16:41] <Pici> !de | Meystro
[16:41] <TwoEqualsTen> sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm should work
[16:41] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: Yes I am.
[16:41] <Slart> dundellll: read ubottu's line above.. 7.04 support ended October 2008.. so the repos have closed
[16:42] <Meystro> Pici?
[16:42] <dundellll> ohww oke
[16:42] <dundellll> thx
[16:42] <dundellll> hmm
[16:42] <silv3r_m00n> TwoEqualsTen: there is something better
[16:42] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: Also using compiz?
[16:42] <Slart> dundellll: I think there is a repos for all the "dead" releases.. something like old-releases.ubuntu.com.. can't really remember
[16:42] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450
[16:42] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: And yes I use compiz.
[16:43] <silv3r_m00n> TwoEqualsTen: and that is sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[16:43] <TwoEqualsTen> silv3r_m00n, ah, that's it
[16:43] <cristi> i am having some trouble with eclipse, some java library seems to be the problem, can someone help me out? I have some error outputs almost ready
[16:43] <Meystro> Kann mir einer sagen wieso ich mein kumpel über lautsprecher und über Kopfhörer gleichzeitg höre und wie ich das ändern kann?
[16:43] <dundellll> slart: thx i'm going the check that out
[16:43] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: Yea... The solution I use, is to install compizconfig-settings-manager, then go to system -> preferences ->CompizConfig Settings Manager and under general, check the box for unredirect full screen windows. That'll fix the problem of flickering with video and 3d while full screen
[16:44] <Seveas> !de | Meystro
[16:44] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: If you want to stop non-full screen video from flickering, I think you can do it by forcing a certain video mode for playback... I think I always did mplayer -vo xv (but I honestly haven't watched video on  my desktop which has an ATI card in a while)

[16:45] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: Well its really any sort of video. Like Google Earth flickers
[16:45] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: Yea, fglrx + compiz is fun stuff
[16:46] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: whats fglrx?
[16:46] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: Let me see if I have anything special in my xorg.conf on my desktop. But definitely unredirect full screen windows like I mentioned. Fglrx is the proprietary ati driver for Linux
[16:46] <Broly> problem - error in locking authority file /home/user/.Xauthrity... also says no valid font path when trying 'startx' any suggestions?
[16:46] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: What exactly does that setting do for compiz?
[16:46] <DigitalFiz> ScottG489, its the driver for ati crap
[16:47] <tyta_linux> why is the connection to google refused in ubuntu?
[16:47] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: Here's my xorg.conf on my desktop, I'm thinking that the videooverlay option might have been important ;) http://paste.ubuntu.com/101740/
[16:48] <Broly> anyone know a good text web browser to use from terminal
[16:48] <Broly> thats available froma apt-get
[16:48] <hareldvd> q1: what does it take to have php+postgres+apache packages running?
[16:48] <Qshell> huhu
[16:48] <Seveas> Broly, lynx or w3m
[16:48] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: It makes full screen stuff not get directed to compiz, which will stop full screen games/videos/etc from flickering, but I would also try adding that option "VideoOverlay" in your xorg.conf, I'm guessing I added that for a reason ;)
[16:48] <Meystro> hier ^ ^
[16:48] <SlimeyPete> Broly: links (install the links-ssl package)
[16:48] <SlimeyPete> Broly: another good one is lynx
[16:48] <vigo> Much betterest
[16:48] <Broly> okay
[16:48] <cristi> ﻿i am having this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/101738/ when i try using the eclipse help, i also have other problems related to eclipse (if i save any file i get the GC Warning: Out of Memory!  Returning NIL!  error). can anyone help me ?
[16:49] <Broly> im going to install that and try to find something abotu that error
[16:49] <Broly> i can't startx
[16:49] <Broly> :D
[16:49] <Qshell> is there a german chan here?
[16:49] <Pici> Qshell: #ubuntu-de
[16:49] <Seveas> Broly, heh, then a text-based browser helps :)
[16:49] <Qshell> thx
[16:49] <vigo> lynx ROCKS
[16:50] <Broly> oh another question does anyone know if its possible once i startx, if i can partition my drive to install gentoo then remove the ubuntu partition and add the space to the gentoo root partition?
[16:50]  * heath|work agrees with vigo
[16:50] <ASULutzy> cristi: I would use sun's java jre
[16:50] <misha> Hiya folks. I'm running a dual boot system on my computer - Ubuntu (Ibex) and Windows XP. I'd like to share the information (everything from bookmarks to settings and master passwords) between both my Firefox-installations. There is a shared hard drive on which the info could be placed. Is this arrangement possible, and i, how should I proceed
[16:50] <omnydevi> broly - i believe it is, but how to i have no idea
[16:50] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: lol its so funny that you said that cuz i was reading over the xorg and VideoOverlay was the one thing that jumped out at me even though i dont get what it means lol
[16:51] <Broly> ill do some research, thanks guys ill be back once i can get in x
[16:51] <tyta_linux> why does google refuse connections only on ubuntu?
[16:51] <juandy2k> somebody from grand rapids?
[16:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[16:51] <destroysound> the game
[16:51] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: Yea, like I said, after a massive amount of fiddling, I was finally able to get my graphics card to work perfectly with Linux, but then I sort of turned my desktop into almost a headless server, so it was kind of pointless. But hopefully that works for you!
[16:51] <cristi> ASULutzy: can i find that in the package manager?
[16:51] <ELJusticeiro> galera alguém ai tem algum conhecimento em snort ??
[16:51] <Meystro> wo finde ich Pulse?
[16:52] <ASULutzy> !de | Meystro
[16:52] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: lol what do you mean you turned it into a headless server?
[16:52] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: I pretty much only use my desktop as a file server, ssh to it, do everything through a terminal, I don't actually sit down in front of the monitor very much
[16:53] <ASULutzy> cristi: Yes, it's um... sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[16:53] <cristi> ASULutzy: i have it installed sun-java-jre version 6-07-3ubuntu2
[16:53] <misha> Also: As I said, I'm running Ubuntu (Ibex) and recently installed Compiz. Works fine, except that I can't change the background images on the Cube Caps. My graphics card is a Nvidia, if it matters anyhow.
[16:53] <cristi> ASULutzy: i'll try reinstall though
[16:53] <ASULutzy> cristi: Eclipse is using gcj and not sun's java though... You need to update alternatives... Let me see if I can find something
[16:53] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: aw thats no fun!
[16:54] <Seracht> hi
[16:54] <Isvara> heath|work: Trying the alternative CD now. There were some errors on sr0, but it's in the installer now.
[16:54] <Seracht> anyone know any good widget applications for ubuntu
[16:54] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: i also noticed I have a subsection in my "Screen" section called ""SubSection "Display""
[16:54] <cristi> ASULutzy: bless you for helping :D
[16:54] <heath|work> Isvara, word
[16:54] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: It actually caused me problems with making my login screen go far to the right. im thinking I could just get rid of it. It just has my resolution
[16:54] <pbeesley> Seracht: gDesklets maybe - http://www.gdesklets.de/
[16:55] <ASULutzy> cristi: try sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
[16:55] <Isvara> heath|work: Would sr0 be the internal SATA CD drive, or the external USB one?
[16:55] <toxicvomit> how do i make the taskbar transperent
[16:55] <Isvara> I don't think I've ever actually used SATA in Linux before.
[16:55] <cristi> ASULutzy: do you want the output?
[16:55] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: your sections are a different order too lol. its so much different, strange
[16:56] <SmokeyD> ﻿hey people. should I run my iptables script pre-up or post-up in network/inerfaces (not using network manager)
[16:56] <bastid_raZor> toxicvomit; right click it then properties> background select solid color and adjust style slider
[16:56] <rmrfslash> How can I enable PAE on Ubuntu 8.10?
[16:56] <heath|work> Isvara, probably the external
[16:56] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: Yea, the only things of real interest are the VideoOverlay section and the loading of the glx module, I added those to fix problems I was having, not sure if they'll work for you or not, but you can always backup xorg.conf and give it a whirl
[16:56] <ASULutzy> cristi: Sure? use a pastebin though
[16:57] <tbic> my laptop freezes if I don't press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse, does any one have any ideas?
[16:57] <heath|work> !PAE
[16:57] <cristi> ASULutzy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/101750/
[16:57] <rmrfslash> I have a machine w/ 8 GB memory
[16:57] <rmrfslash> but I need 32-bit ubuntu
[16:57] <ASULutzy> cristi: Does eclipse still freak out when you try and run it?
[16:57] <ScottG489> How do I make a quick backup of a file?
[16:58] <rmrfslash> so, the next best thins is to enable physical address expansion
[16:58] <jrib> ScottG489: cp?
[16:58] <rmrfslash> aka PAE
[16:58] <bastid_raZor> ScottG489; cp file newfilename
[16:58] <rmrfslash> but this is a kernel option
[16:58] <jrib> rmrfslash: desktop or server?
[16:58] <afh|work> hey.. does the wicd support the b43 driver?
[16:58] <rmrfslash> not sure why this isn't a default
[16:58] <rmrfslash> or, on by default
[16:58] <ScottG489> bastid_raZor: yea that works
[16:58] <cristi> ASULutzy: seems not! when i was saving a file it was usually running the cpu at 60% and then quit with the out of memory error, not it seems just fine.
[16:58] <jrib> rmrfslash: it's default on the server kernel
[16:58] <cristi> ASULutzy: thank you! :D
[16:58] <vigo> Scott489: get HUBackup from Synaptic
[16:58] <rmrfslash> but I'm not running the server kernel
[16:58] <rmrfslash> any way to enable this on the desktop version
[16:58] <rmrfslash> ?
[16:59] <ASULutzy> cristi: Heh, $WORK pays me to know Java, among other things, so yea, I had to go through the same things. Glad I could help!
[16:59] <jrib> rmrfslash: you probably need to rebuild the kernel
[16:59] <rmrfslash> :::scared:::
[16:59] <ASULutzy> rmrfslash: Why do you need 32 bit?
[16:59] <Nillerz> How do you make a network manager recognize a wireless chip?
[17:00] <rmrfslash> I actually need the java plugin for mozilla which is ridiculously broken on 64-bit linux when you try to run 32-bit mozilla
[17:00] <rmrfslash> so the short trm solution (at the time) was to just use 32 bit ubuntu
[17:01] <rmrfslash> a mistake, in my opinion
[17:01] <rmrfslash> but wasn't my decision
[17:01] <Isvara> heath|work: Seems to be going okay now. It detected my NIC, which Debian wouldn't do (even when I told it what it was). So perhaps it was a video thing.
[17:01] <hareldvd> q2: (q1 was not answered) How to install skype? (downloaded skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb)??
[17:02] <rmrfslash> So basically, there's no easy way to enable PAE on ubuntu after-the-fact
[17:02] <ScottG489> Whats a good command line program for comparing files?
[17:02] <rmrfslash> or even during initial installation for that matter
[17:02] <heath|work> Isvara, I think so... If you have no video on reboot install envyng and get the newest drivers
[17:02] <rmrfslash> bummer....
[17:02] <rmrfslash> Scott... diff
[17:02] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: diff or md5sum
[17:03] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: depending on what you mean by comparing
[17:03] <rmrfslash> md5sum won't compare files will it?
[17:03] <rmrfslash> just gives you the hash, yes?
[17:03] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: Pretty much just straight text. So I don't think I need a checksum
[17:03] <rmrfslash> which I guess you could compare two hashes
[17:03] <Nillerz> If I run lpci I can see my wireless chip on the motherboard but it does not recognize it in any networking managers I use. I cannot connect with the terminal either
[17:04] <rmrfslash> but that'll only tell you if they're "different"
[17:04] <rmrfslash> not what is different
[17:04] <Nillerz> Any help? Anyone want to at least like, pretend or something?
[17:04] <vigo> Who asked about Skype?
[17:04] <ASULutzy> rmrfslash: Right, which is why I said depending on what you mean by comparing ;), if you just want to check if they're different, md5sum is the way to go, if you actually want to do line by line comparisons, diff
[17:04] <Isvara> heath|work: Corrupted debs, though :-( I think today is conspiring against me.
[17:04] <rmrfslash> right
[17:04] <hareldvd> q3: (1 and 2: no answer) how to create execution desktop icons?
[17:05] <heath|work> Isvara, maybe the cd drive is bad
[17:05] <heath|work> or you real pissed somebody off
[17:05] <heath|work> real =>really
[17:06] <Isvara> I'll burn another one more slowly and try it from the external CD drive.
[17:06] <xragex347> I have a question about ubuntu. I'm installing it on an alternative computer. This computer (Main Computer) is running Windows Vista. I was wondering if it is possible to bridge (share) internet connections. PC1[Win]<----|ethernet|---->[Ubuntu]PC2
[17:06] <rmrfslash> nillerz, just enable ssh and give me your root uname/passwd
[17:06] <vigo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype  <<<for whomever asked about Skype
[17:06] <rmrfslash> I'll log in and take a peek ;)
[17:06] <the_gamer> hi folks
[17:06] <c4g0tch4> hey guys, i got a problem. i have installed ubuntu on my laptop and configured wlan with madwifi and wpa_supplicant. now the first problem is, wenn i connect to the wlan, it disconnects me every 2-3 minutes, and then i have to run dhclient and it's working for the next 2-3 minutes. the second problem is, that i can't connect to invisible wlan with wpa_supplicant
[17:06] <Polysics> hi all
[17:07] <c4g0tch4> can anyone help me?
[17:07] <Polysics> is the "stock" ffmpeg good enough for doing some conversions from avi/others to flv?
[17:07] <Polysics> videos convert fine but without sound
[17:07] <misha> Also: As I said, I'm running Ubuntu (Ibex) and recently installed Compiz. Works fine, except that I can't change the background images on the Cube Caps. My graphics card is a Nvidia, if it matters anyhow. Is this a common enough problem?
[17:07] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: Will I need to restart anything after I edit the xorg.conf file
[17:07] <rmrfslash> Compiz.... yuck.
[17:07] <ASULutzy> Polysics: ffmpeg can do it just fine, what command are you using to convert
[17:08] <DaHopi> hello, i have rouble with installing 8.10 X86_64: cd stops booting by loading "powernowd". ...
[17:08] <omnydevi> misha - i cant change the top/bottom images, but background, just change the background
[17:08] <rmrfslash> Scott, yeah.... kwm or gdm
[17:08] <xragex347> Hmmm. Do I have to wait still? Curious.
[17:08] <omnydevi> compiz...yummy
[17:08] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: You shouldn't have to do a full restart, just restart X
[17:08] <bastid_raZor> misha; #compiz-fuzsion may be a good place to ask too.
[17:08] <Polysics> ASULutzy, ffmpeg  -i fnf.avi -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv -s 320x240  dest/fnf.flv
[17:08] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: ctrl+alt+backspace (I think restarting X is enough)
[17:08] <the_gamer> i'm trying to get my logitech chillstream controller to work. i did: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joystick_lshal_outputs_done
[17:08] <rmrfslash> right, log out login
[17:08] <c4g0tch4> no one here who can help me?
[17:08] <Otacon22> i have all lights of the keyboard locked and i can't use the control and alt and the uppercase button
[17:08] <Otacon22> what can i do'
[17:08] <rmrfslash> will dot he trick
[17:09] <the_gamer> this only gets one stick and one button to work
[17:09] <xragex347> Is it possible to bridge(share) connections with a PC running Ubuntu and a PC running Vista?
[17:09] <Gnea> !patience | c4g0tch4
[17:09] <misha> bastid_razor: Cheers, I'lll go there!
[17:09] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: ok, is that a safe way of restarting X? ctrl + alt + backspace always seemed kinda forcefull
[17:09] <omnydevi> xrag - using vmware, yes
[17:09] <xragex347> Nono
[17:09] <xragex347> I have 2 towers, one is running vista, the other ubuntu.
[17:09] <c4g0tch4> ubottu: ok, I'm sorry
[17:09] <DaHopi> again: is there a possibility to boot 8.10 x86_64 live cd without powernowd?
[17:09] <the_gamer> how to get more than that to work?
[17:09] <xragex347> How would I get them to share internet.
[17:09] <misha> omnydevi: That's what I think I'm doing, but to no avail...
[17:10] <omnydevi> xrag - with a router?
[17:10] <the_gamer> i'm trying http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=428469 but it won't compile
[17:10] <the_gamer> :(
[17:10] <xragex347> It's currently a wireless connection
[17:10] <ASULutzy> Polysics: Does ffmpeg give any useful output? I remember when I was converting .avi's to flash for streaming over webserver, flash was very picky about lots of things like its audio bitrate and some other things
[17:10] <Polysics> i suspect i am missing some audio options in the above but i am stunbling as to which :-)
[17:10] <misha> rmrfslash: Yeah, eyecandy for teens - but hell, it's fun to play around with ;)
[17:10] <xragex347> It use to work just fine with they both ran windows.
[17:10] <Gnea> c4g0tch4: did you follow some sort of guide to get wireless to work?
[17:10] <omnydevi> xrag - is ubuntu seeing the wireless driver?
[17:10] <Polysics> ASULutzy, apparently, ffmpeg detects two streams but only writes out 1
[17:10] <MOUD_> Where can I download the nvidia geforce 8700m GT for ubuntu 64-bit? There's no driver on nvidia.com
[17:10] <Polysics> the video stream
[17:10] <xragex347> Windows is using the wireless drive.
[17:10] <rmrfslash> misha I used it for a while.... Java is not a fan of Compiz
[17:10] <omnydevi> misha - did you reload the windoe manager?
[17:10] <xragex347> I just want to know if it's possible, I'm not having any troubles with it yet.
[17:11] <c4g0tch4> gnea: yes, I've tried several guides and methodes, and also google is empty :P
[17:11] <tyta_linux> why does google refuse connections only on ubuntu?
[17:11] <omnydevi> i just use compiz for my vm's mostly, easier to just flip a screen than to mess with minimizing and maxamizing
[17:11] <ASULutzy> tyta_linux: can you ping www.google.com
[17:11] <rmrfslash> tyta, that makes no sense
[17:11] <Gnea> MOUD_: from the repository. it's not a good thing to install from nvidia.com anyway - you'll want the 177 driver
[17:11] <tyta_linux> mail.google.com connection refused
[17:11] <Gnea> c4g0tch4: which guides?
[17:11] <heath|work> xragex347, what are you trying to do?
[17:11] <tyta_linux> the rest of the web allowed
[17:12] <rmrfslash> not me
[17:12] <omnydevi> tyta - erm, try www.gmail.com?
[17:12] <xragex347> I'm installing ubuntu on a secondary PC
[17:12] <Polysics> ASULutzy, ffmpeg reports as being compiled with: --enable-gpl --enable-pp --enable-swscaler --enable-pthreads --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libogg --enable-libgsm --enable-dc1394 --disable-debug --enable-shared --prefix=/usr
[17:12] <tyta_linux> omny - gmail.com refused
[17:12] <wesley__> how can i convert ext3 to ext4
[17:12] <xragex347> I want to bridge my wireless connection from my Main PC (Vista) and my second PC (Ubuntu)
[17:12] <misha> omnydevi: Hmm...not sure...how would I do that?
[17:12] <^RioN^> áëÿ
[17:12] <omnydevi> tyta - strange, i get there just fine on my ubuntu machine at home
[17:12] <ASULutzy> tyta_linux: can you https: to anything?
[17:12] <rmrfslash> mail.google.com is an alias.... should work
[17:12] <engemec> i'm using thunderbird with 3 e-mails accounts
[17:12] <Gnea> wesley__: ext4 is not officially supported yet, it's still in development
[17:13] <Otacon22> what is this error in dmesg'
[17:13] <engemec> everything is allright
[17:13] <rmrfslash> tyta, what are you using
[17:13] <omnydevi> misha  - in the upper right corner, scratch that, I will let ASUL help, he is smart and i am on vista at work, so i cant walk through accurately
[17:13] <Otacon22> [238558.647308] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xda on isa0060/serio0).

[17:13] <wesley__> i readed it was out of development
[17:13] <tyta_linux> all browsers
[17:13] <xragex347> :\
[17:13] <tyta_linux> its like ive been banned
[17:13] <misblay> hi!
[17:13] <DaHopi> installation of ubuntu 8.10 on Athlon64 not possible????
[17:13] <ikonia> Otacon22: it means it doesn't know what to do with the key you presed
[17:13] <[eXception]> hi
[17:13] <misha> rmrfslash: OK, good to know what to pinpoint if Java starts behaving strangely. But I don't think I'll be entertained by Compiz for very long.
[17:13] <ikonia> DaHopi: yes it is
[17:13] <tyta_linux> but the other computers allow me
[17:13] <Gnea> wesley__: where?
[17:13] <omnydevi> DaHopi - is possible, you need a 64 bit version of the install though
[17:13] <Otacon22> ikonia, now control and alt are disabled
[17:13] <misblay> i'm having trouble with my bcm43xx drivers, anyone to help?
[17:13] <rmrfslash> telnet mail.google.com 80
[17:13] <Otacon22> i can't put letters in uppercase
[17:13] <rmrfslash> GET \
[17:13] <Otacon22> and do control+c
[17:13] <xragex347> If it's possible, then how would I do it?
[17:13] <xragex347> Using bridge-utils?
[17:13] <wesley__> Gnea on internet, there stands that ext4 has reached stable
[17:13] <misblay> i'm having trouble with my bcm43xx drivers, anyone to help?
[17:13] <ikonia> rmrfslash: why would a mail server be listening on port 80 ?
[17:14] <ASULutzy> tyta_linux: use a terminal and either do what rmrfslash said, or simply ping mail.google.com
[17:14] <Gnea> wesley__: and so, do you have a URL for this?
[17:14] <misblay> i'm having trouble with my bcm43xx drivers, anyone to help?
[17:14] <engemec> what odo u want to do with mail.google.com
[17:14] <ikonia> Otacon22: sounds like your keyboard setup is messed up
[17:14] <misha> omnydevi: Is cool, I suppose restarting the whole shebang would do the trick...!
[17:14] <rmrfslash> it's only the login page
[17:14] <DaHopi> omnidevi: but powernowd fails, live cd will not boot...
[17:14] <engemec> yeap
[17:14] <engemec> it's only login page
[17:14] <misblay> ASULutzy, i've run install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh but still cant have connection :/
[17:14] <ikonia> DaHopi: what is the exact error ?
[17:14] <omnydevi> misha - maybe, i dont have a wireless card, so i can be of little help. sounds like that is what is going on though.
[17:14] <Polysics> ASULutzy, might it have something to do with the fact that stock ffmpeg on 8.04 is apparently compiled without liblamemp3?
[17:14] <the_gamer> does anybody know how to get this chillstream controller from logitech to work?
[17:14] <tyta_linux> destination port unreachable at mail.google.com
[17:14] <ASULutzy> Polysics: Oh...
[17:15] <rmrfslash> yeah, you got probs

[17:15] <engemec> !
[17:15] <xragex347> What would I use to bridge the connections?
[17:15] <gasto> I have same issue of Nvidia Geforce 6200 not being able to install the drivers
[17:15] <engemec> yta_linux hi!
[17:15] <DaHopi> ikonia: first it gives me a kernel oops with cpufreq, then booting stops at "starting powernowd...."
[17:15] <misblay> i'm having trouble with my bcm43xx drivers, anyone to help?
[17:15] <misblay> ASULutzy, i've run install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh but still cant have connection :/
[17:15] <gasto> posted like 100000 posts on Ubuntuforums.org
[17:15] <gasto> no response yeyt
[17:15] <ASULutzy> Polysics: Yea... Now I can't remember what exactly I did if anything to get it to be nicer... Maybe added medibuntu repositories and installed some stuff from there
[17:15] <gasto> so I feel like sit
[17:15] <engemec> what do you want o do?
[17:15] <ikonia> DaHopi: and this is not in a virtuam machine, this is on native hardware ?
[17:15] <omnydevi> gasto - did you install envyng?
[17:15] <tyta_linux> hi
[17:15] <ScottG489> Is t here a way I can have my computer remember what programs are open when I logout or restart X and then reopen them when I log back in?
[17:15] <gasto> I want to know how to get my Ubuntu working with Nvidia graphics,
[17:15] <tyta_linux> so what do i need to try?
[17:16] <tyta_linux> is it an ubuntu prob?
[17:16] <misblay> ASULutzy, i've run install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh but still cant have connection :/
[17:16] <misblay> i'm having trouble with my bcm43xx drivers, anyone to help?
[17:16] <wesley__> So how can i convert ext3 to ext4
[17:16] <engemec> Nvidia
[17:16] <DaHopi> ikonia: yepp, its on native Athlon64 3000+, 1 GB RAM
[17:16] <gasto> and want to know how to diagnose or get the file log of what is going on with the video
[17:16] <jrib> ScottG489: yes, but that's broken in GNOME on 8.10.  You can try hibernating instead though
[17:16] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: Yes, go to System -> preferences -> sessions and then options
[17:16] <engemec> gxlinfo
[17:16] <Polysics> i would reallly like to avoid recompiling ffmpeg as it is a chore :-) can't anyone give me a good repository for that, please?
[17:16] <omnydevi> gasto - did you install envyng ?
[17:16] <ikonia> DaHopi: shouldn't be a problem at all, I've got it on multiple athlons
[17:16] <[eXception]> how do I foreward an incommin shh-tunnel-connection?
[17:16] <engemec> glxino
[17:16] <rmrfslash> I wouldn't suspect ubuntu as much as I would some configuration
[17:16] <engemec> ops
[17:16] <engemec> sorry
[17:16] <ASULutzy> Polysics: I definitely never recompiled ffmpeg
[17:16] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: jrib says it. It isnt broken. I've had that checked forever but it doesnt save.
[17:16] <rmrfslash> r u using a proxy?
[17:17] <tyta_linux> no
[17:17] <rmrfslash> r u just at home
[17:17] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: it is*
[17:17] <ASULutzy> Polysics: I did add medibuntu repository though... One sec, let's see if the bot can help
[17:17] <engemec> glxinfo (direct render = yes, so..... your driver is working correctly)
[17:17] <tyta_linux> i can access via proxy though
[17:17] <ASULutzy> !mp3 | Polysics
[17:17] <tyta_linux> yes home
[17:17] <rmrfslash> so using a proxy you can access it
[17:17] <tyta_linux> right
[17:17] <DaHopi> ikonia: ok.. mmh is there a possibility to disable powernowd on livecd startup?
[17:17] <Gnea> wesley__: you mis-read it, that article is from 2006 and it says nothing about ext4 being ready.
[17:17] <ikonia> DaHopi: I'm just looking for that option to be honest.....
[17:17] <ASULutzy> and misblay I don't really know
[17:17] <tyta_linux> firefox, epiphany, Abrowser = no work
[17:18] <wesley__> Gnea i read a dutch articele about ext4 being stable
[17:18] <ikonia> DaHopi: off the top of my head, I don't know, I've never had to
[17:18] <tyta_linux> but the rest of the web is accessible
[17:18] <Gnea> wesley__: liar.
[17:18] <ASULutzy> tyta_linux: So you can't even ping mail.google.com ?
[17:18] <gasto> omnydevi
[17:18] <gasto> yes
[17:18] <wesley__> Gnea its true on tweaker.nl
[17:18] <ASULutzy> Gnea, wesley__: It is stable under the newest kernel.
[17:18] <engemec> oh may GOd
[17:19] <ikonia> wesley__: look - ext4 is not yet stable and not in the kernel and has nothing to do with ubuntu - so lets more on please
[17:19] <rmrfslash> no firewalls?
[17:19] <gasto> Omnydevi, I installed envy and gave me same results as attempt of direct install of Nvidia drivers
[17:19] <wesley__> ASULutzy i have that kernel and wanna convert ext3 to ext4
[17:19] <gasto> could it be because I did nothing about the previously installed drivers from Nvidia?
[17:19] <Polysics> ASULutzy, i'm starting with installing the ubuntu-restricted-extras package
[17:19] <rmrfslash> blocking port 443
[17:19] <DaHopi> ikonia: however.. thanks..
[17:20] <lvr> what was the command line way of finding out whether a package is installed on your system or not? can't remember it.
[17:20] <omnydevi> gasto - you installed envy or envyng?
[17:20] <gasto> both
[17:20] <gasto> I think
[17:20] <omnydevi> gasto - yes it could
[17:20] <bastid_raZor> lvr; apt-cache policy packagename
[17:20] <gasto> one is for gui, other is core right?
[17:20] <tyta_linux> rmr, no firewalls
[17:20] <ikonia> lvr: open synaptic and search for the package name
[17:20] <ASULutzy> wesley__: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto there's this, but I would say as far as Ubuntu is concerned, ext4 is definitely not offcially supported until Jaunty, so #ubuntu won't be much help
[17:20] <tyta_linux> installed ipblock last night, but its not even running
[17:20] <ASULutzy> wesley__: There's always #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu+1
[17:21] <wesley__> http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4
[17:21] <omnydevi> gasto - install envyng, then from terminal run envyng -t, then 0 to uninstall, then when it comes back up, use envyng -t then 1 to install then reboot
[17:21] <omnydevi> gasto - after the uninstall, reboot the machine
[17:21] <lvr> bastid_raZor: thank you
[17:21] <gasto> omnydevi, OK I will update when that happens
[17:21] <usr13> lvr: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/package-name...
[17:21] <ikonia> DaHopi: I can't see a kernel option for it at all,
[17:21] <ASULutzy> wesley__: 2.6.28 is not part of Intrepid yet, so not really supported, again try #ubuntu+1 or #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:21] <rmrfslash> you sure it's not running?
[17:21] <rmrfslash> i.e. you don't have iptables rules
[17:21] <ikonia> wesley__: it's not supported at all
[17:22] <Gnea> wesley__: you can try ASULutzy's suggestion, but we don't support ext4 yet, so you'll be on your own - if it breaks, it'll be your problem, not ours.
[17:22] <Maggie> I used to use vlc 0.8.6a as my multimedia player on my Ubuntu Hardy Box. Then I decided to update it from the source code. I am a newbie in Linux so thought it will be updated when I would compile it from source code. After I compiled it from source code, whenever I start vlc from Applications>Sound & Video>VLC media player nothing would start but when I try to open any music file or video file in vlc I can only hear the audio but I cannot see where the pl
[17:22] <Maggie> ayer is?
[17:22] <Maggie> When I type vlc in the terminal I get the following output:"http://paste.ubuntu.com/101758/" .I don't know what to to get the GUI back!! Plz anyone help me
[17:22] <rmrfslash> sudo iptables -L
[17:22] <omnydevi> gasto - also, if it lists more than 1 driver you can install, install the recommended one. even if it isnt the latest. like mine, i have 173 installed, even though 177 is available
[17:22] <ASULutzy> tyta_linux: Run this please: sudo iptables -L
[17:22] <ASULutzy> !who | rmrfslash

[17:22] <lorenzo> hello, how do I capture audio from a youtube video on Ubuntu? thanks a lot
[17:22] <wesley__> Gnea are you stupid orso? You wont get warranty from ubuntu
[17:22] <ikonia> wesley__: drop the attitude, he's expalining the situation to you
[17:23] <Gnea> wesley__: i was about to help you out, but it seems that you don't want it.
[17:23] <rmrfslash> ubottu: is this good?
[17:23] <tyta_linux> asul paste in here?
[17:23] <ikonia> wesley__: he's providing you with a sound bit of advice/warning
[17:23] <omnydevi> wesley_ - do not insult people here, they are trying to help
[17:23] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: still getting that flickering :/
[17:23] <sigius> Q: anyone has a pointer to the windows based installer that install ubuntu in a file on the windows partition ?
[17:23] <ASULutzy> !paste | tyta_linux
[17:23] <wesley__> Lutyz did
[17:23] <ikonia> wesley__: what ?
[17:24] <rmrfslash> ubottu: is this how I should address messages
[17:24] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: Did you do the unredirect full screen windows thing and the video overlay thing? The other surefire way to fix it is to do metacity --replace & in a terminal, but this will disable desktop effects
[17:24] <Maggie> I used to use vlc 0.8.6a as my multimedia player on my Ubuntu Hardy Box. Then I decided to update it from the source code.

[17:24] <Polysics> ok, i'll try installing ffmpeg off medibuntu
[17:24] <rmrfslash> ubottu: woops ;)
[17:25] <rmrfslash> hahahaha
[17:25] <tyta_linux> asul / rmrf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/101761/
[17:25] <ikonia> rmrfslash: he's a bot - stop talking to him please
[17:25] <omnydevi> heh
[17:25] <ryanakca> At boot, how can I have my swap be decrypted *after* my home partition? (the key is a file on /home, both partitions are in my crypttab, LUKS)
[17:25] <rmrfslash> ikonia: I get it
[17:25] <rmrfslash> ikonia: and how do you know it's a "he"
[17:25] <ASULutzy> wesley__: #ubuntu is for ubuntu support, as 2.6.28 is not a part of 8.10 or previous, it's not supported here, that's all. I provided you a link that could be helpful, but if you want actual help with it, there are channels for that. #ubuntu+1 and #ubuntu-offtopic will provide more assitance than here
[17:25] <wesley__> Only ASUluty helped me Gnea was no help, he was only not believing that ext4 is stable, and if i am correct Ubuntu comes without warranty so if something breaks its my problem even if its supported is it my problem still
[17:26] <ikonia> wesley__: this channel is for supported ubuntu solutions/help - ext4 is not supported/stable release yet, so it is not supported(discussed) in here
[17:26] <ikonia> wesley__: does that make it a little clearer for you ?
[17:26] <Maggie> I used to use vlc 0.8.6a as my multimedia player on my Ubuntu Hardy Box. Then I decided to update it from the source code. I am a newbie in Linux so thought it will be updated when I would compile it from source code.

[17:26] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: I just added the VideoOverlay. What else should I have done?
[17:26] <rmrfslash> this channel is on fire
[17:26] <ikonia> rmrfslash: please don't be silly
[17:26] <Gnea> !repeat | Maggie
[17:26] <narothepharoh> Whats a good app to do a resume?
[17:26] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: Oh yea and the compiz thing. I did that too
[17:27] <wesley__> ikonia you dont get it? on all ubuntu cds cleary stands ubuntu isnt responisble for data loss and theres no warranty
[17:27] <narothepharoh> Whats a good app to do a resume?
[17:27] <ohzie> narothepharoh, docs.google.com
[17:27] <flexd> uh
[17:27] <omnydevi> wesley_ - welcome to every OS on the planet
[17:27] <mouli> hi my name is mouli
[17:27] <rmrfslash> ikonia: sorry, I'll be more serious... :-\
[17:27] <ikonia> wesley__: I do get it - your not listening. I'm explaining THIS CHANNEL's support requirments
[17:27] <ASULutzy> wesley__: You must have a problem reading. Ext4 is not supported in 8.10 or previous, therefore it is offtopic for this channel.
[17:27] <flexd> why is the rubygems 1.3.1 package installing rubygems 1.2.0 ?+
[17:27] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: Even when I put Google Earth in Full Screen it still flickers. Maybe it isnt true full screen though
[17:27] <tyta_linux> i smell a kick
[17:27] <mouli> i have a fresh laptop i dont have  a bootable ubutu cd
[17:27] <ASULutzy> tyta_linux: REJECT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            reject-with tcp-reset  that doesn't look right?
[17:28] <ramiro> hello
[17:28] <wesley__> thats why i use Kubuntu, we get support for non supported things
[17:28] <ikonia> wesley__: no you don't
[17:28] <mouli> i need to create one and update over the net how do i do it
[17:28] <ramiro> how do I set up inetd to run ftpd?
[17:28] <omnydevi> lol
[17:28] <rmrfslash> tyta_linux: sudo iptables -F and don't use ipblock
[17:28] <flexd> I need rubygems version 1.3.1 or up
[17:28] <ohzie> wesley__, #kubuntu
[17:28] <wesley__> ikonia yes i do, i get support for kde4.2 in kubuntu irc channel
[17:28] <narothepharoh> ohzie that just takes me to gmail
[17:28] <rmrfslash> tyta_linux: that command will erase all your iptables rules
[17:28] <ikonia> wesley__: there is a package for it -
[17:28] <Gnea> wesley__: it's you who doesn't get it - you don't go around insulting people like that. you just DON'T! if you want to be helped, you need to be respectful, and that includes not lying.
[17:28] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: Now that I think about it. When my screen saver has been running it hasn't flickered at all.
[17:28] <ASULutzy> tyta_linux: I would just clear out iptables and accept all
[17:28] <ohzie> narothepharoh, At the top? Documents.
[17:29] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: Yea, it needs to be full screen fullscreen ;)
[17:29] <ikonia> wesley__: look - I'm not arguing this anymore with you, please just accept the situation/advice/warnings given to you and I wish you look with it
[17:29] <wesley__> theres no officialy kde4.2 package,
[17:29] <rmrfslash> tyta_linux: I used to use progs like ipblock but its honestly easier to just learn how to use iptables
[17:29] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: But again, fglrx + compiz is always a bit tricky. If something is really bad, you can always do metacity --replace & and then switch back to compiz when done with compiz --replace &
[17:29] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: Well I can't watch all video in completely full screen. Is there a fix for regular video?
[17:29] <ikonia> s/look/uck
[17:29] <ikonia> luck
[17:29] <rmrfslash> tyta_linux: and you'll feel cool when you have all that glorious iptables output and you know what it all means ;)
[17:29] <mouli> hi guys i need to create a live dvd from my operating system can you hellp
[17:29] <Gnea> wesley__: if you can figure that out and abide by it, the ubuntu mailing list might be a better forum to discuss your successes
[17:29] <ryanakca> wesley__: If you're interested in help with Ext4, you'll get help by asking in ##linux , not in #*ubuntu . :)
[17:29] <Gnea> oops
[17:30] <narothepharoh> ohzie: I paste to browser and it takes me to gmail
[17:30] <something132> sound problem
[17:30] <tyta_linux> thanks everyone
[17:30] <tyta_linux> that worked
[17:30] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: I heard this is just a problem with 8.10? I also didn't have this problem before I reinstalled before
[17:30] <ASULutzy> ikonia: I don't really understand why people get indignant when they're told to go to #ubuntu+1 or #ubuntu-offtopic... Those channels aren't like, second-class channels for has-beens. They're there for a reason.
[17:30] <tyta_linux> so should i lose ipblock
[17:30] <tyta_linux> ?
[17:30] <omnydevi> Scott - sometimes for games etc, i have to disable compiz. maybe for certain aps you may have to do the same.
[17:30] <rmrfslash> tyta_linux: read my replies
[17:30] <ikonia> ASULutzy: concur
[17:30] <narothepharoh> Whats a good app to do a resume?
[17:30] <Gnea> ASULutzy: heh
[17:31] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: My desktop is running 8.04, so doubtful. Fglrx and compiz have always not played together nicely, heck they used to not play together at all iirc
[17:31] <ryanakca> At boot, how can I have my swap be decrypted *after* my home partition? (the key is a file on /home, both partitions are in my crypttab, LUKS)
[17:31] <Gnea> narothepharoh: openoffice.org
[17:31] <tyta_linux> rmrfs, sorry
[17:31] <tyta_linux> thanks!
[17:31] <narothepharoh> Gnea: which part ?
[17:31] <iplaythisgam> I'm trying to use screen and rtorrent in the crontab to run on my headless server. rtorrent seems installed correctly, when i start it in a terminal it uses my .rtorrent.rc file to watch a director. I have gotten screen to start a rtorrent session on reboot but the rtorrent session isn't watching my directory like it's not using my .rtorrent.rc file.
[17:32] <Gnea> narothepharoh: writer
[17:32] <vigo> Ima gonna figure out how to get SeaMonkey
[17:32] <biggerfisch> How do I install adobe Flash player for 64-bit ubuntu?
[17:32] <rmrfslash> tyta_linux: this is where I got started https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[17:32] <beniwtv> Hi all... Is ther any way to tell update-rc.d that I want priority S90 or similar? My problem is I need to wait for Asterisk which is S20 to be started in my script. Thanks.
[17:32] <ikonia> biggerfisch: install the package flashplugin-nonfree
[17:32] <ikonia> biggerfisch: just get that package from the package manager
[17:32] <narothepharoh> Gnea: well I dont have writer how do i install?
[17:32] <rmrfslash> tyta_linux: very informative, very intuitive
[17:32] <ryanakca> iplaythisgam: if I understand correctly, you want your server to start rtorrent in a screen, under your account when it starts up, and to keep it running?
[17:32] <biggerfisch> ikonia ok
[17:32] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: I'm gonna try to change my driver to radeon. that fixed some problems other times
[17:32] <iplaythisgam> ryanakca correct
[17:33] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: I've never tried the Radeon driver. Back when I was configuring my desktop with ati card it wasn't nearly mature enough, but that was about a year ago, so perhaps radeon is the way to go now
[17:33] <iplaythisgam> ryanakca Ive got a screen session runnin on startup now, but its a su session - i figure this is whats causing my problem
[17:33] <biggerfisch> ikonia, apt-get says it is all ready the latest version but it doesnt work
[17:34] <Lukasz> Do you know any console way to make programs autostart?
[17:34] <ikonia> biggerfisch: define doesn't work please.
[17:34] <Gnea> narothepharoh: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-writer
[17:34] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: ill let you know how it goes
[17:34] <biggerfisch> flash does not run on a web site
[17:34] <ikonia> biggerfisch: define doesn't run - what do you see and what is the problem
[17:34] <ryanakca> iplaythisgam: maybe put something to start / stop it in /etc/init.d/ ... use sudo -u iplaythisgam screen -S rtorrent rtorrent    as the command... and then you can add a cron.hourly (or however often you want) that will check that it's running, and if not, start it.
[17:34] <rmrfslash> biggerfisch: I think that was another reason I wanted Ubuntu with PAE rather than 64-bit ubuntu.... no flash plugin for 64-bit
[17:34] <omnydevi> iplaythisgame - i just edit .profile to start my apps on login. just sudo vi .profile and add the name to the bottom of the list
[17:35] <ikonia> rmrfslash: there is - please don't miss-lead people
[17:35] <Wanderer> anyone know a tool to scan MP3's and update the ID3 tags like itunes does?
[17:35] <biggerfisch> what is PAE?
[17:35] <ikonia> biggerfisch: memory extension
[17:35] <omnydevi> or do what ryan says, sounds like he knows more than i do about this :D
[17:35] <biggerfisch> ok
[17:35] <ikonia> !away > fysaen

[17:35] <ryanakca> iplaythisgam: If you don't need it to be started *directly* on startup, but shortly after, you could just stick with a cron script that checks if there's a screen named 'rtorrent', and if not, starts one... (screen -S <screen_name> <command>)

[17:36] <rmrfslash> ikonia: sorry, the last time I looked (which was before November) it was unavailable
[17:36] <ikonia> rmrfslash: it's been available for a years as a 32bit wrapper, and it was released just over a month ago native
[17:37] <omnydevi> brb, going to install ubuntu on our esx server so i can use it on the client server. then i can help more cause i will have a visual.
[17:37] <ASULutzy> ikonia: Is the native release actually released yet? Or is it still like alpha-beta'ish quality?

[17:41] <P3X-018> In older versions of ubuntu, it used to display which programs started up at the initial loading screen, e.g. writing "OK" for the programs that started. But that can't be seen in the new version, how do you get it back?

[17:43] <rmrfslash> MrHankey: why do they "suck"
[17:43] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: Nope, no good. Got a black screen when I restarted X. I'll stick with no video for now I guess...
[17:43] <beniwtv> Anyone for my question? " Is ther any way to tell update-rc.d that I want priority S90 or similar? My problem is I need to wait for Asterisk which is S20 to be started in my script."
[17:43] <rmrfslash> MrHankey: what don't they do
[17:43] <ScottG489> ASULutzy: Thanks for the help though, ttyl
[17:43] <ASULutzy> ScottG489: yep take care
[17:43] <MrHankey> cause they doesent work i dont know thats wrong!
[17:44] <ASULutzy> hajar: there's also lsb_release -a
[17:44] <gfather> hello guys
[17:44] <ohzie> hajar, cat /etc/lsb-release
[17:44] <ohzie> hajar, It'll give you version number and the name of the release.
[17:44] <rmrfslash> MrHankey: they should indeed work... what's the error
[17:44] <gfather> i reinstalled ubuntu on my secound drive , but now grub cant detect my windows , how do i fix that ?
[17:45] <usr13> ScottG489: You could try the default driver.
[17:45] <ohzie> gfather, You know what partition and drive it's on?
[17:45] <lintunen> Hi, I asked a few days ago about how to prevent kernel packages from getting overwritten with automatic updates.  I was point in the direction of the pinning how-to but couldn't get it to work and was wondering if someone had any further ideas
[17:45] <MrHankey> thats what i do nmot know!
[17:45] <ikonia> lintunen: thats the right way to do it, you need to get that to work
[17:46] <rishat_> http://xa2.is-ishim.ru/
[17:46] <pbeesley> scottg489: did you run sudo update-grub after changing the config file?
[17:46] <rmrfslash> MrHankey: I mean, when you execute kopete or pidgin, do the applications come up? At what point do you determine they're not working?
 hmm i think  so , its on my sata srive
[17:46] <gfather> drive
[17:46] <MrHankey> im so tired of not being able of "chating" with my friends!
[17:46] <lintunen> ikonia:  despite following the instructions (to lock in Synaptic) the packages still get overwritten
[17:46] <beniwtv> lintunen: Why not just copy vmlinuz_* and initrd-* to your own version in /boot and then specify it in Grub as default?
[17:46] <hajar> thanx rmrfslash , ASULutzy , ohzie
[17:46] <ikonia> lintunen: which instructions did you follow (can you show me the url)
[17:46] <rmrfslash> MrHankey: You could also try meebo.com in the mean time while you debug these clients
[17:46] <rmrfslash> hajar: np
[17:46] <ASULutzy> MrHankey: pidgin should work, try starting it from terminal and describing what the errors you get are
[17:47] <hajar> thanx too much it was a problem for me
[17:47] <lintunen> ikonia:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto <-- section on holding packages
[17:47] <ohzie> gfather, The important part is knowing what grub calls it, and then adding it manually with the grub config. You have to add the entry I'll PM you in a second, and then run the grub-update or update-grub command.
[17:47] <gfather> oks
[17:48] <rmrfslash> MrHankey: or mibbit.com
[17:48] <bastid_raZor> lintunen; Apt/Dpkg Section in the list is the easiest way to go. i use it for a few packages.
[17:48] <rmrfslash> MrHankey: or gtalk
[17:48] <lintunen> beniwtv:  I don't understand what that will achieve, ie I don't see how it will stop the updater from wanting to override the kernel packages
[17:48] <rmrfslash> lunch time
[17:49] <Jimi__Hendrix> just curious...did someone just kick cybermx4
[17:49] <ikonia> lintunen: which package did you "lock" ?

[17:49] <beniwtv> lintunen: It will not, but it will allow you to boot the kernel *you* specify, regardless of what kernel ubuntu installs

[17:50] <Jimi__Hendrix> ikonia, i know...he was complaining about being kicked and i want to know what he did...yes i am that bored
[17:50] <ASULutzy> MrHankey: click applications -> Accessories -> Terminal and type pidgin, you need to explain what doesn't work about it
[17:51] <MrHankey> ikoni, can u help me with my amsn problems??
[17:51] <ASULutzy> !ask | MrHankey
[17:51] <ikonia> Jimi__Hendrix: he's not listed as ever being in this channel, where is he complaining ?
[17:51] <lintunen> beniwtv:  that part is fine, I am loading the kernel version I want
[17:51]  * icqn sees that ikonia has a lot to do.... he is my hero!
[17:51] <jrib> lintunen: why would you need to do this with kernel packages?
[17:51] <Jimi__Hendrix> #ubuntu-programming...said #ubuntu chat but i think he was in #ubuntu-cy
[17:52] <ikonia> Jimi__Hendrix: what is his nick, I'll speak to him

[17:53] <lintunen> jrib:  applied a patch
[17:53] <Jimi__Hendrix> ikonia, you dont need to talk to him...i dont think...
[17:53] <Jimi__Hendrix> he says #ubuntu-programming are his only friends in irc...
[17:53] <Jimi__Hendrix> so hes either very emotional or messing with us...
[17:53] <ikonia> Jimi__Hendrix: if he's been kicked/removed please direct him to #ubuntu-ops or #ubuntu-irc rather than taking up space in other channels
[17:54] <jrib> lintunen: if you followed ubottu's instructions, then the resulting package should have a name different than the packages in the repository
[17:54] <beniwtv> lintunen: Then why do you still want to lock it? (Maybe I didn't understand your question correctly)
[17:54] <lintunen> I don't even know if it's possible to lock kernel packages I just don't want to accidentally undo any damage with automatic updates :-)

[17:54] <ASULutzy> phoenixz: You can't do that non-interactively with fdisk
[17:54] <ASULutzy> phoenixz: You have to use sfdisk
[17:54] <dman> ya it does, but it's amazing
[17:54] <Jimi__Hendrix> ikonia, lol ok
[17:55] <omnikill> seeing as it descended from the MX510 mouse, it would have to be amazing
[17:55] <dman> trying to get it working
[17:55] <erica647> icqn: I don't believe it is... I just installed Ubuntu and I got 173.82 which I believe is still the latest non beta nvidia driver
[17:56] <jrib> lintunen: at least, that's what happened at one point.  In any case, more generally, you should always increment the version and append '~jrib1' (or your name :)) using 'dch -i' for example
[17:56] <icqn> erica647, what is this then https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 ?

[17:57] <adauto41> uptade
[17:58] <lintunen> jrib:  I'm not sure what you are saying now - that I'm looking in the wrong place when I try to lock?
[17:58] <tristanmike> Hello. I installed Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid the other day and got my surround sound up and running but now ALL audio crackles and skips. Can someone please help me with this, it's really bad and sound is almost unbearable ? Thanks in advance.
[17:58] <erica647> icqn: I haven't seen that but would recommend you check the nvidia website to see what the latest non-beta driver is.  Also I wouldn't worry much about updating unless you're having issues
[17:59] <jrib> lintunen: I remember now that what I said about the naming was if you pulled from git.  Anyway, yes I am saying you are looking in the wrong place.  A lock isn't necessary.  Just increment the version as I explained before building the deb
[17:59] <rothchild> hi how do I install digikam with just it's minimum dependencies? Each time I select it synaptic tells me it's gonna install all sorts of unwanted apps (dolphin for instance)
[18:00] <icqn> erica647, yes i am aware of it, that it is beta, but there are problems with title bars on nvidia card geforce 7,6 series (with compiz compositing manager)
[18:00] <narothepharoh> Whats a good app to do a resume?
[18:00] <beniwtv> lintunen: I think he meant that if you did your own kernel package, you should append something to the version, to not to be the same version as Ubuntu packages.
[18:00] <ikonia> narothepharoh: any wordprocessor/text editor
[18:00] <Gnea> narothepharoh: openoffice writer couldn't do it?
[18:01] <narothepharoh> Gnea: It says this...openoffice.org-writer set to manually installed.
[18:01] <doglino> I want to log in fedora through ssh, I know what that can done with command ssh but  there is a GUI to do that?
[18:01] <erica647> icqn: You'll probably have to do a manual install then per the instructions on the Nvidia site.  I do remember seeing them there but haven't tried it myself
[18:01] <jrib> doglino: you mean vnc?
[18:01] <lintunen> jrib, beniwtv :  I see, I'll look into that.  Thanks!
[18:01] <Gnea> narothepharoh: oh. and it's not in the Applications->Office menu?
[18:01] <narothepharoh> Gnea: I want templates to make it easy you know
[18:02] <narothepharoh> Gnea: no
[18:02] <Gnea> narothepharoh: oh. well, you didn't say that, so no, i'm sorry, i didn't know.
[18:02] <doglino> jrib no
[18:02] <tristanmike> rothchild: as I understand it, Synaptic installs only the base dependencies, anything else should be listed as recommended.
[18:02] <icqn> erica647, i do not really want to install it with every kernel update
[18:02] <beniwtv> lintunen: That way, you won't have to worry about updates :) Just specify the kernel as default and there you go.
[18:02] <doglino> jri just to send/receivce files
[18:02] <narothepharoh> Gnea: yes i did you told me how to install
[18:03] <jrib> doglino: you can use Nautilus:  File -> connect to server
[18:03] <erica647> icqn: I sure understand that... but I doubt it's going to be included in the released version of Ubuntu as long as it's beta
[18:03] <lintunen> beniwtv:  thanks :-)
[18:03] <rothchild> tristanmike: that's what I thought and when I look at the dependencies I can't see dolphin in amongst them? (hence ending up here!)
[18:03] <Gnea> narothepharoh: check this out: open up firefox and search google for the following terms:  openoffice resume templates
[18:03] <jrib> lintunen: you increment the version with 'dch -i' and then append '~lintunen1'.  Then you'll only be offered the repo version when there is a new version out of the package.  At that point you see what the changes are and try to merge them somehow

[18:04] <erica647> icqn: yeah I was looking for it myself the other day just to try it out.  I didn't see it though
[18:04] <tristanmike> rothchild: it's a KDE app ?
[18:04] <beniwtv> mlwinning: Does it get detected? (You can see the command dmesg in a terminal for that, after plugging it in.
[18:05] <Gnea> ASULutzy: there's some pretty cool stuff there, actually
[18:05] <erica647> icqn: I even checked out some other distros and they're all using 173.82 as well
[18:05] <doglino> jrib Nautilus rocks!
[18:05] <doglino> hehe
[18:05] <erica647> 177.82 I mean
[18:05] <erica647> sorry
[18:05] <mlwinnig> No.  Tried command line and Gnome.  Power turns light green but that is all.
[18:05] <ratpoison> hello! is there a package that makes the drawing of qt apps with gtk+ ? I know there is a package making gtk apps look like qt, but is there one for the opposite job?
[18:05] <rothchild> tristanmike: yes it's a kde app (I don't get on with F-spot) but it only depends on a few libraries (which I have no trouble with) but when I mark it to install synaptic tells me it want's to install most of KDE4
[18:06] <beniwtv> mlwinnig: what does dmesg say if you plug it in? (use http://paste.ubuntu.com if the output is large)

[18:06] <malex> I'm trying to boot intrepid live cd on a thinkpad R31 with an orinoco based mini-pci wlan card. However, Intrepid hangs on boot with lots of "eth1: Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP" error messages. Any thoughts on how I can get Intrepid to boot?
[18:06] <strongarm82> anyone know how i can install the classic version of XMMS?
[18:07] <mlwinnig> Found info for Linux but not Ubuntu per se.  My Gnome does not have a detect button and it keeps changing USB to PPP IP port.
[18:07] <ikonia> malex: I suggest you wait for a reasonable ammount of time, it may be dhcp timing out
[18:07] <ratpoison> malex: how can you be sure that eth1 is the wlan card?
[18:07] <tristanmike> rothchild: right, but the problems lies in the fact that those dependencies might need dependencies and those might need certain dependencies, and so on. As far as I know, generally, when you run "Gnome" and want KDE apps installed, you have to basically install KDE which I suspect is why you're getting so many "unrelated" packages to install... I suspect anyway.

[18:09] <tristanmike> ratpoison: right, but he's curious as to why, when running Gnome, and trying to install a KDE app, Synaptic wants to install, what appears, to be unrelated packages.

[18:09] <erica647> icqn: I run Wine and some windows apps... was curious to see if there was any performance difference

[18:09] <mlwinnig> BENIWTV - need time to command line load it... is there a private channel or EM we can use?  Pretty busy here!
[18:09] <ratpoison> tristanmike, rothchild: you WILL add bloat to the system, but it's not difficult to remove it after you're done with the app
[18:09] <style> Would it be bad to have ubuntu on hdb? Should I swap the hd's?
[18:09] <rothchild> tristanmike: and ratpoison thanks for the help - I just found that setting and turned it off
[18:10] <malex> ratpoison: googled and that error came up for orinoco cards back on 2004-2005. wired card is e100, so is very unlikely to be buggy.

[18:17] <ikonia> Maggie: the best thing I can suggest is re-install ubuntu to get a stable base system back, then if your not sure about how to do things in future use the ubuntu support resources
[18:17] <ikonia> hobo: I'm looking I've not got xchat in front of me
[18:17] <ratpoison> klync: that's wizardry beyond my level, sorry
[18:17] <dman> when reinstalling ubuntu, will you lose your docs etc?
[18:17] <hobo> oh.
[18:17] <dman> desktop links etc?
[18:17] <klync> ratpoison: well, thanks anyway... i learned about share-admin :)
[18:17] <Jeruvy> Tristam: are you sure this isn't a speaker problem?
[18:18] <hobo> i know. i'll just ask someone where im going.
[18:18] <klync> ratpoison: and alt+f2 ... yippie!
[18:18] <hobo> thnaks though !
[18:18] <gasto> do I
[18:19] <gasto> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk envyng-core
[18:19] <ratpoison> klync:  yup, alt+f2 is the most awesome shortcut, it runs ANYTHING without leaving a terminal window
[18:19] <gasto> to get the envy program from virtual terminal?
[18:19] <style> 377mb ram, 600mhz duron, can I use ubuntu? Currently it has debian etch with gnome.
[18:19] <lorenzo> Jeruvy, I am on Ibex, using the default gnome-sound-recorder 2.2.4.0.1; I tried capturing audio both from totem audio and from a youtube video playing in firefox. Sound-recorder seems to be recording but the audio file is empty when i play it back.  If I launch sound recorder from terminal, i get (gnome-sound-recorder:27672): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_accessible: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed. that is all iknow :)
[18:19] <jxander> will gnome support dual-head configuration better so that i will be able to have two different wallpapers on each monitor in the next ubuntu?
[18:19] <ratpoison> style: wouldn't recommend it, try crunchbang (wait for a link)
[18:19] <lorenzo> Jeruvy, i also get ** (gnome-sound-recorder:27672): CRITICAL **: atk_object_add_relationship: assertion `ATK_IS_OBJECT (target)' failed
[18:20] <dkav> sy
[18:20] <dkav> style; I use a PIII 600, 512 MB with xubuntu and its ok
[18:20] <ratpoison> style: duh... crunchbang.org It's ubuntu with fluxbox
[18:21] <tristanmike> Hello. I installed Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid the other day and got my surround sound up and running but now ALL audio crackles and skips. Can someone please help me with this, it's really bad and sound is almost unbearable ? Thanks in advance.
[18:22] <style> dkav: Should I get more ram or more cpu?
[18:22] <ikonia> style: in relation to what ?
[18:22] <dkav> no, i only have a problem after instalation
[18:22] <style> ikonia: bether performance for bitorrent and desktop, and ssh usage
[18:23] <dkav> the xorg.con file is empty
[18:23] <ikonia> style: depends what your bottle neck is, normally desktop performance is diven by your video card
[18:23] <ratpoison> tristanmike: check if you have pulseaudio installed. you probably do, but you don't have the tweaking tools for it. In my experience, if pusleaudio, alsa, device and application volumes are set to 100% this can cause noise
[18:23] <style> ikonia: I have a Nvidia fx 440
[18:23] <ikonia> style: that is quite old
[18:23] <lorenzo> Jeruvy, any suggestions?
[18:23] <ikonia> style: actually - is that a geforce 4 ?
[18:24] <tristanmike> ratpoison: I do have PuleAudio as this is a stock installation of 8.10
[18:24] <dkav> was empty, sorry. But i start with a live CD (tinyme) an copy xorg.conf tu my /etc/.....
[18:24] <tristanmike> ratpoison: it was working fine on Hardy
[18:24] <ratpoison> tristanmike: that's how I solved a similar problem in a friend's box with a clean intrepid install
[18:25] <Laderius> Anyone know a clock screensaver?
[18:25] <tristanmike> ratpoison: and as a haibt, I never put volumes up to 100%
[18:25] <klync> can i mount samba shares from fstab using smbmount? can anyone give an example to follow?
[18:25] <style> ikonia: It is quite old. It is an old box.
[18:25] <ikonia> klync: if the shares are in fstab you just need to use mount
[18:25] <dkav> style: trie to install crash... Maibe its better for your box
[18:25] <ikonia> style: I suspect that is your visual bottle neck
[18:26] <tristanmike> ratpoison: I guess I'm bypassing Pulse
[18:26] <Laderius> Anyone know a clock screensaver?
[18:26] <dkav> n
[18:26] <dkav> o
[18:26] <Laderius> o
[18:26] <Laderius> k
[18:26] <tristanmike> ratpoison: for instance, when I run "pavumeter" the meter's don't move
[18:26] <Laderius> Anyone other then dkav know a clock screensaver?
[18:27] <tristanmike> ratpoison: but that's the only way I could discover to get my surround sound speakers working... at first I only had two out of the possible 6 speakers working
[18:27] <Flannel> dkav: Please be helpful
[18:27] <icqn> Laderius, why are you asking?
[18:27] <style> lloyd: no
[18:27] <Laderius> icqn: because on my old windows box i used the clock screensaver and was curious if i could find one, im not having any luck and its super helpful
[18:27] <raylu> tristanmike, ratpoison: speaker-teest
[18:27] <raylu> *test
[18:28] <ikonia> Laderius: there is one installed by default I think
[18:28] <ratpoison> tristanmike: if you really want to know where your sound is routed to, then open the pulseaudio manager,  go to the tab Devices and watch the sinks
[18:28] <lloyd> my /boot partition ran out of space for setting up Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-9-generic and now I cant update or do tah dpkg --congigure -a
[18:28] <Laderius> ikonia: i couldnt find it, i may have over looked it
[18:28] <furytheory> Sooooo .... greetings and salutations to all. Good afternoon. Gotta Problem that has to do with networking. Any network guru's in the group?
[18:28] <ikonia> Laderius: I'm pretty sure there is one installed by default
[18:28] <dkav> style, what`s the problem with your debian bos??
[18:28] <style> Dwl-g122 does interpid support it by defoult?
[18:28] <ikonia> style: are you using ubuntu or debian ?
[18:28] <style> dkav: I can't get ntfs to work, and no automount of usb disks.
[18:29] <Laderius> ikonia: Know what it is called?
[18:29] <ikonia> Laderius: hang on
[18:29] <style> ikonia: Currently debian, will instal ubuntu interpid in about haf an houre
[18:29] <tristanmike> raylu: "Time per period = 10.973321 / 0 - Front Left"  is all I'm getting from that command
[18:29] <pdtpatri3k> furytheory if you ask a question whomever knows the answer will answer you
[18:29] <ikonia> style: then please get support from #debian
[18:29] <tristanmike> ratpoison: pulseaudio manager ??
[18:29] <lloyd> my /boot partition ran out of space for setting up Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-9-generic and now I cant update or do tah dpkg --congigure -a
[18:29] <ratpoison> tristanmike: the still monitors might mean that they are monitors for an unused sink. Right click on the window I told you before on an output under a sink and watch what the monitor does
[18:30] <style> ikonia: I am asking about things to prepare me for the upgrade. I haven't asked a single debian question!
[18:30] <ratpoison> tristanmike: run pulseaudio device chooser, and click on manager
[18:30] <ratpoison> tristanmike: run pulseaudio device chooser, right **click on applet** and click on manager
[18:30] <ikonia> style: your asking performance questions, which I assume is about your current install
[18:30] <style> ikonia: No, it is about my future ubuntu install.
[18:30] <KingOfDos> Can someone tell me how to configure the behavioure of my Wacom Intous 3? It's realy fucked when i'm using dual screen :X
[18:30] <Laderius> ikonia: negitive there is not one :(
[18:31] <tristanmike> ratpoison: you've lost me... applet ? what applet ?
[18:31] <ikonia> style: then install it first to find out if you have performance issues
[18:31] <style> I am considering to buy some second hand hardware.
[18:31] <Rollie> i need a 2.4 driver for a netgear MA101 external wirelesss card
[18:31] <style> KingOfDos: ,
[18:31] <ikonia> Laderius: just looking myself now, it used to be made out of "balls" to make the clock
[18:31] <style> ikonia: A lot of work if someone here knows it won't work
[18:31] <ikonia> Rollie: a 2.4 driver ? the current kernel is 2.6
[18:31] <Laderius> ikonia: lemme know if you find it, if not back to google for me :P
[18:31] <icqn> Laderius, there is a clock screensaver, do not remember its name
[18:31] <Rollie> ok 2.6
[18:31] <Rollie> lol
[18:31] <KingOfDos> The problem is that it's a little strange. It's an A4 Wacom, but he stretches over two screens. So it's to small.
[18:31] <Rollie> i just need it to work
[18:31] <lloyd> my /boot partition ran out of space for setting up Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-9-generic and now I cant update or do tah dpkg --congigure -a
[18:32] <ratpoison> tristanmike: look, if you run pulseaudio device chooser, there is an applet on your system tray, no? it looks like a headphone mini-jack
[18:32] <anparks> hi im having problems with a super broken synaptic
[18:32] <KingOfDos> In other words, my first screen has 15(width)x30(height) cm of the wacom. The second has the other 50% of the wacom
[18:32] <anparks> i manually installed a version of libghc6-xmonad-contrib-dev and there are now problems
[18:32] <neothecat> good afternoon EST.
[18:32] <Jack_Sparrow> anparks, The first question would be have you made any changes to your sources list
[18:32] <anparks> it tells me to reinstall the package but says it cant
[18:32] <KingOfDos> because it's higher then the width, the images are stretched
[18:32] <tristanmike> ratpoison: what is the command for "pulseaudio device chooser" do you mean "System-Preferences-Sound" or "System-Preferences-PulseAudio Preferences" ?
[18:33] <Rollie> so what do i do to get this workin
[18:33] <neothecat> i did try to look this up, but i did not see any fixes, other than not using ff.  does anyone know how to stop firefox from using 90% cpu?
[18:33] <ratpoison> tristanmike: you don't have all the tweaking tools installed I guess. wait for me to tell you what I have installed in my system
[18:33] <Laderius> icqn can i port a windows screensaver?
[18:33] <tristanmike> ratpoison: sounds good
[18:33] <anparks> no i have not. just made the mistake of dist-upgrade instead of apt-get upgrade before i moved to intrepid
[18:33] <ikonia> Laderius: looks like your right, it's no longe in 8.10
[18:33] <style> Intrepid Ibex, how do you change the settings for the gues account? or does it go back to default every time it logs off?
[18:34] <Laderius> ikonia i found one
[18:34] <Laderius> ikonia in the kscreensaver package
[18:34] <anparks> all repos are intrepid. something is fishy. the package will  not fix, and now i can no longer install packages!
[18:35] <doglino> what is default directory to put "program files", in windows there is a folder called "program files", i downloaded a file tar.gz and I want know where I put this file
[18:35] <Zero_FeniX> I'm having troubles getting a 32 bit version of ubuntu installed on a VirtualBox machine. I get the image loaded up and try to select any of the main options menu and it just freezes up. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

[18:35] <Jack_Sparrow> anparks, Which version of ubuntu   and what link does this give you.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[18:35] <Pici> Some_Mercy: This is a support channel, please don't do that.
[18:35] <user_> Zero_FeniX: which versions are you using?
[18:35] <ASULutzy> doglino: You need to decompress it with tar xzvf
[18:35] <furytheory> [Pardon me if I seem a bit new at this :) ] Computer 1: Windows -- Wireless card and Wired NIC installed -- Shared connection set up.

[18:36] <Pici> Guest93293: Please do not use that term depreciatively in this channel.
[18:36] <icqn> Laderius, i believe you can not port it
[18:36] <lloyd> my /boot partition ran out of space for setting up Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-9-generic and now I cant update or do tah dpkg --congigure -a

[18:36] <user_> Zero_FeniX: this is going into the vm?
[18:36] <ASULutzy> doglino: what is it? that's really up to you. Generally you decompress it and then there will be install scripts inside of it
[18:37] <doglino> ASULutzy ok thanks

[18:37] <ikonia> Rollie: I don't use that device, I don't know without looking into it
[18:37] <Andre_H> Complete Question: Is there something like an IP-Address-Control(http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/IpAddrCtrlLib/TestIPAddressControl.png) for Linux too?

[18:38] <ratpoison> tristanmike: http://pastebin.com/m7131e301 look, it's got things I don't have, but what I only lack are application specific plugins for apps I don't have, you can sort them out yourself
[18:38] <ASULutzy> Andre_H: What exactly does that do?
[18:38] <b0nn> hrm, how do I find my cdrom and mount it?
[18:39] <anparks> and still i get: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libghc6-xmonad-contrib-dev_0.8-2_amd64.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[18:39] <diffred> Please help. I need to convert a .rm video to some common such as mpeg or avi.

[18:39] <Isvara> What does a flashing caps lock light mean during boot?
[18:39] <yellabs> diffred use ffmeg
[18:39] <Andre_H> ASULutzy: its a windows control i want to use under linux to input IPs for my programs
[18:39] <diffred> yellabs: thanks gonna check it
[18:39] <ikonia> b0nn: cd's are read only
[18:39] <b0nn> ok
[18:40] <b0nn> so how do I mount it?
[18:40] <ASULutzy> Isvara: It means a kernel panic, things are seriously broke
[18:40] <Zero_FeniX> Any idea's on how to get ubuntu installed on a windows vista 32 bit host with VirtualBox?
[18:40] <Isvara> Arse.
[18:40] <yellabs> diffred : if you want an quick and easy way go here http://media-convert.com/
[18:40] <jack_j> You have been plopped
[18:40] <Isvara> And the installation finally went so well.
[18:40] <ikonia> b0nn: it's mounted
[18:40] <Isvara> I am cursed today.
[18:40] <DaHopi> mmh is there nobody who can help me to install Ubuntu 8.10 on an AMD64 3000+ ?
[18:40] <ikonia> b0nn: it was warning you that it's mounted read only
[18:40] <yellabs> diffred just upload the file and convert it
[18:40] <yellabs> good luck
[18:41] <jack_j> yoyo get your isos and mount you funnylalalalala
[18:41] <b0nn> ah, no
[18:41] <diffred> yellabs: oh thanks
[18:41] <zanberdo> question: is there a limit to the number of drivers/partitions the install partition manager can handle?  I have a system with three drives: two 250G and one 500G.  When I load the ubuntu ibex installer, the partition manager only shows the two 250G drives available, even though I have an older version installed to the 500G drive (and it still boots)...
[18:41] <ikonia> DaHopi: I can't see any option for power now disable, however I'm surprised your having this issue,
[18:41] <Pici> jack_j: Do you have a support question?
[18:41] <ikonia> DaHopi: if you fancy a test, pass the kernel parameter "single" to the boot line from the livecd
[18:41] <b0nn> it's not listed when I type just 'mount'
[18:41] <ikonia> DaHopi: see if it boots that way (just for a test)
[18:41] <jack_j> no wheres the offtopic then
[18:41] <Pici> jack_j: #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:42] <furytheory> I need a good networking site ... anyone? ... anyone???
[18:42] <ikonia> furytheory: no-one, no-one, no-one
[18:42] <b0nn> and there is no files listed when I ls themount point
[18:42] <ikonia> furytheory: thats not ontopic here
[18:42] <DaHopi> ikonia: i will give it a try.. thanx... till later ;)
[18:42] <ikonia> b0nn: what command did you use, exactly
[18:42] <furytheory> Networking for Ubuntu isn't on topic? Hmmm.
[18:42] <b0nn> sudo mount /dev/cdrom1 /media/disk
[18:42] <Laderius> Hey guys what termainal commands would i type to execute this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/kclock.kss.1.html
[18:42] <Sanketsu> Well, I've got an issue on my laptop involving the wireless not working after updates.  I've put the details here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1033501
[18:42] <ikonia> furytheory: a networking site in general is not
[18:43] <anparks> please will somebody take a look at this: http://pastebin.com/m3cc7eba0
[18:43] <b0nn> er, that fails asking for fstype
[18:43] <anparks> cannot fix this broken package
[18:43] <Isvara> What do I need on the grub command line to boot with a visible console?
[18:43] <b0nn> sudo mount /dev/cdrom1 /media/disk -tvfat
[18:43] <Jeruvy> lorenzo: from the error it would seem to be a problem with GTK specifically, or the software cannot find what it needs.  Have you searched those errors on launchpad.net?
[18:43] <edd_> hi, after update i have network manager is seeing each network card twice
[18:43] <ikonia> b0nn: cd's are not vfat
[18:43] <b0nn> really...
[18:43] <anparks> and no i am not a noob, yes my sources.list is in order, i have apt-get cleaned etc.
[18:43] <ikonia> b0nn: just use the command "sudo mount /dev/cdrom1 /media/cdrom"
[18:43] <jack_j> cds are Mastered FS
[18:43] <ASULutzy> Isvara: Take away splash and quiet
[18:44] <ikonia> b0nn: cd's normally automount when you put them in (I assume your using a gnome desktop)
[18:44] <furytheory> Excuse me... How about a networking site that is a little more explanitory than ubuntu's site.
[18:44] <b0nn> didyou not read what I said happens when I do that?
[18:44] <jack_j> or CDfs + Micro$oft-LiveFS
[18:44] <Isvara> ASULutzy: I have a blank grub command line.
[18:44] <tristanmike> ratpoison: the only packages that I don't have installed that you do, are the XMMS packages, and I don't use XMMS. Oh, and the flash-nonfree plugin one as well
[18:44] <ikonia> b0nn: what is on this cd ?
[18:44] <Espinete77> Hi, I'm trying to compile an app and I need jack/jack.h. I have jackd installed so I was wondering, what package do I need to get jack.h ?
[18:44] <jack_j> boot em up blanker
[18:44] <toehio> toehio
[18:44] <b0nn> um
[18:44] <ratpoison> tristanmike: then the program I'm telling you should be under applications / sound video
[18:44] <tristanmike> ratpoison: other than 3, my list is the same
[18:45] <tristanmike> ratpoison: ahh, perfect
[18:45] <b0nn> Id tell you.. if I could mount it?
[18:45] <Laz_II> can i get help with a grub error

[18:45] <ikonia> b0nn: hence why it's asking for a file system
[18:45] <Laz_II> grub
[18:45] <ASULutzy> Isvara: Hmmm? When you reboot, push 'e' to edit the line and just erase quiet and no splash fromt he end and push 'b' to boot
[18:45] <Espinete77> user_: that doesn't exist in synaptic
[18:45] <b0nn> sure
[18:45] <Laz_II> okay
[18:45] <b0nn> it's supposed to be a printed cd
[18:45] <user_> Espinete77: something similar?
[18:45] <Isvara> ASULutzy: I hit 'escape' to get a to the grub command line
[18:45] <b0nn> butit could be blank
[18:45] <b0nn> how do I know?
[18:46] <tristanmike> ratpoison: I have "Manager" open now
[18:46] <zanberdo> to further qualify my question. when I boot the kubuntu hardy installer the partition manager identifies all three drives (the two 250G and the one 500G).  Maybe this is a bug in the ubuntu ibex installer?
[18:46] <ikonia> b0nn: are you using gnome desktop ?
[18:46] <Espinete77> user_: I've looking but I can't find it
[18:46] <Laz_II> yep i will erace it
[18:46] <b0nn> no
[18:46] <b0nn> Im using kubuntu
[18:46] <Espinete77> been*
[18:46] <ikonia> b0nn: what desktop are you using ?
[18:46] <ikonia> b0nn: ok, kde
[18:46] <user_> Espinete77: try libjack-dev
[18:46] <ikonia> b0nn: so when you put the cd in, if there is data on it, kde should auto mount it for you, the fact that it's not doing that, and the mount command is asking for an FS suggests it's blank
[18:46] <ASULutzy> Isvara: Just edit your existing grub menu line when you reboot?
[18:46] <jack_j> there is 14xx people here
[18:47] <ratpoison> tristanmike: now try and find out if the sound output that sounds clunky is amplified excessively. you can see which output goes to which sink under the tab devices. you can right click on the outputs and get specific visual monitors for each sink and thus you can tell if pulseaudio is actually bypassed
[18:47] <Laz_II> ok let me look at the window not
[18:47] <Laz_II> ok let me look at the window now
[18:47] <ikonia> jack_j: please stop

[18:47] <jack_j> xubuntu is not even responding

[18:47] <Laz_II> does a USB UUID id change
[18:48] <raylu> Laz_II: uuids are specific to partitions
[18:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Laz_II, It should not
[18:48] <Laz_II> right that is what i thought
[18:48] <raylu> Laz_II: so your question makes no sense
[18:48] <Laz_II> it could not open the root device
[18:48] <Laz_II> i am trying to boot ubuntu from a USB hard drive
[18:48] <Isvara> ASULutzy: Okay, got it, but removing 'quiet' doesn't help -- I still just get the progress bar.
[18:48] <Laz_II> i have it installed but the bootloader
[18:49] <ASULutzy> Isvara: And remove splash.
[18:49] <Laz_II> does not work
[18:49] <lorenzo> Jeruvy, no, how do i search for those errors on launchpad?
[18:49] <tristanmike> ratpoison: let me give you some background. My surround sound doesn't work by default. Using PulseAudio. So far, the only fix I have found was to open "System-Preferences-Sound" and change the "Music and Movies" to use Alsa and multichannel playback rather than auto detect. Also, I needed to open my volume control and uncheck the "SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack". This gave me 5.1, but the sound crackles
[18:49] <Isvara> ASULutzy: splash is not there, but I'll try adding nosplash.
[18:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Laz_II, How did you create the bootable usb
[18:49] <bazbazbaz> how's it going! this is definitly not where i am supposed to be asking this question, but i have searched and have no idea where to go from here and the ubuntu community is the best!......... I moved into a condo with network outlets on each wall. To make them live i went to the wiring closet ready with a switch to connect all the end points - but there weren't any! All the wires were connected to some other thing.... what do i do?
[18:49] <tristanmike> ratpoison: now, since PulseAudio is new "relatively", I'm finding it rather confusing
[18:49] <raylu> Laz_II: also, where is the bootloader installed?
[18:50] <ikonia> bazbazbaz: as you said this is not the right place to ask, do don't ask
[18:50] <Laz_II> i had the live session cd up and running and i just installed to the usb hard drive
[18:50] <tristanmike> ratpoison: does any of that make any sense whatsoever ?
[18:50] <Jack_Sparrow> !usb
[18:50] <Laz_II> i put the boot loader on the usb drive
[18:50] <Jeruvy> lorenzo: in a google search type "site:launchpad.net {error msg}"
[18:50] <bazbazbaz> ikonia: i am sure someone could point me in the right direction, i am stuck

[18:54] <tristanmike> ratpoison: a simple "yes" would suffice... for all I know, you just took a heart attack... you don't have to go throwing ubottu at me like I'm the plauge :/
[18:54] <Laz_II> The error that i get is VFS: Cannot open root device "UUID (uuid string) or unknown-block(0,0)
[18:54] <Jeruvy> lorenzo: sure, let us know what you find out.
[18:54] <ratpoison> tristanmike: relax dude, nothing personal
[18:54] <Sanketsu> Ok, so I had a hard drive failure and installed a new HDD on my laptop, then ended up doing a fresh install of Intrepid.  Everything worked just fine.  There were 200+ updates I could do though so I let them all install as normal, over the wireless here since all my wired ports are used up on my router.  After the updates and restart due to kernel updates my wireless will no longer connect.
[18:55] <raylu> Laz_II: so which drive is the grub loader installed on?
[18:55] <ratpoison> tristanmike: yes. switching the audio option from the multimedia manager was a piece of info I didn't have. that probably means that your sound is bypassing pulseaudio. Try double clicking on your volume meter and click preferences. Choose your appropriate sound card and click preferences. check on all available options and tweak them. Sometimes you need to uncheck you have headphones or IECsomething or somesuch
[18:55] <Jeruvy> Sanketsu: what does /var/log/messages tell you, any boot/kernel errors?
[18:55] <raylu> Sanketsu: iwconfig
[18:55] <Laz_II> i have the bootloader installed on the usb drive
[18:55] <jack_j> eeeeeeee
[18:55] <jack_j> whoops
[18:56] <Laz_II> I can get the loader to boot to my internal hard drive
[18:56] <raylu> tristanmike, ratpoison: also, alsamixer
[18:56] <Laz_II> but not to the usb drive
[18:56] <ratpoison> raylu: that's the same, but gtk, I think
[18:56] <Sanketsu> I'll look just a moment Jeruvy and raylu.
[18:56] <tristanmike> ratpoison: my sound is bypassing PulseAudio because for some reason I only get one option under Pulse. For instance, when I run "alsamixer" all I get is one option to change, pulseaudio volume... that's it
[18:56] <zanberdo> Might there be a rational reason why the hardy alternate installation partition manager see all three of my installed hard drives, but the ibex alternate installation partition managers does not?
[18:56] <raylu> ratpoison: er, alsamixer runs in a terminal. and occsaionally, it fixes something the gnome one can't

[18:58] <Laz_II> Raylu you asked where i put the grub loader and i put on the usb hard drive
[18:58] <tristanmike> ratpoison: it's very frustrating that it's worked since Hardy Hedgehog for me, but since this new "PulseAudio" (crap, imo), I can't get sound to work right

[19:02] <Laz_II> raylu no i have it on another computer next to me
[19:02] <anparks> raylu: no good. i tried all the intuitive tricks.
[19:02] <Unoabalto> any smartcard gurus around? I could use some help with a pcmcia smart card reader
[19:02] <raylu> Laz_II: ok...?
[19:02] <raylu> anparks: what does reinstalling it do?
[19:02] <DaHopi> ikonia: i think problem is on BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88083d46c8f8
[19:02] <ratpoison> tristanmike: the basic idea behind pulseaudio is that each physical output of your local (or network, if you have it enabled) is a sink. Each input is a source. Each pc with pulseaudio is a server. You can then route the output of every channel of every program to a sink.
[19:03] <anparks> rylu: the package is missing to begin with.
[19:03] <Laz_II> raylu i "cat /boot/menu/grub.1st" and i get file not found... I hit c to go to a command line with grub loads
[19:03] <raylu> anparks: so reinstall should install it...
[19:03] <ratpoison> tristanmike: it took a couple of days to figure out how it works, but now I'm sending my sound from my eeepc to the mainspeakers in my home and it's awesomely awesome

[19:04] <Laz_II> raylu same file not found
[19:04] <Sanketsu> By the way, if it helps Jeruvy, I'm on my desktop right now, with my laptop next to me.  Next best thing to copy paste I can do right now is take a picture of my laptop's screen.
[19:04] <raylu> Laz_II: wait, what did you mean when you said you hit c to go to a command line?
[19:04] <raylu> Laz_II: if you do that when grub loads, you're in a grub shell
[19:05] <tristanmike> ratpoison: well... sounds great in theory... but, imho, it should be a little more "polished" before it becomes the standard in Ubuntu Desktop
[19:05] <raylu> Laz_II: which is not what you want. to see that file, you'll have to stick the usb drive on a computer that's already booted in another OS
[19:05] <Laz_II> raylu yeah i have grub installed to the usb drive and i can get to a grub shell but i cannot get ubuntu to load i get a kernal panic error that it cannot mount the uuid of the usb device
[19:05] <tristanmike> ratpoison: it's too difficult to use, if you ask me. Whereas before everything worked OOTB, now nothing seems to work OOTB.
[19:05] <raylu> Laz_II: right... which is why you need to boot another OS, like I said
[19:05] <theos2> i want command for deinstallation and reinstallation of java
[19:05] <raylu> Laz_II: or put the usb drive in different computer
[19:05] <tristanmike> ratpoison: anywho, thanks again

[19:06] <theos2> any clue?
[19:06] <ratpoison> tristanmike: true. I hear Fedora 10, which came in later, has it completely stable. and yes, you ARE right, especially since they were so strict with oofice 3.0

[19:11] <zanberdo> theos2, I'm not sure what the "default" java is, but I believe sun-java6-jre is what you need.

[19:14] <flexd> I haven't enabled any effects in the first place..
[19:14] <Ward1983> jrib, went for the old version now, which worked fine before
[19:14] <Jack_Sparrow> flexd, verify they are off... and that you have real video drivers and not running vesa mode
[19:15] <ASULutzy> flexd: There are others, but they only work in specific situations. I use unredirect full screen windows which stops flickering in full screen apps/video, but the easiest way is probably to just turn off compiz and use metacity with metacity --replace &
[19:15] <Jeruvy> lorenzo: It could. perhaps download kubuntu livecd and try it that way.
[19:15] <Ward1983> jrib, (no its not in the repos and no there no deb)
[19:15] <MOUD> Hello again
[19:15] <flexd> Jack_Sparrow, turning off effects like Window Decoration and stuff now leaves me with programs and no titlebars? :/
[19:15] <jrib> Ward1983: what did you run after extracting the tarball?
[19:15] <Ward1983> jrib, ./configure with some flags and make
[19:15] <Jeruvy> Sanketsu: I can't say for sure, but any errors would be suspicious especially around network or device drivers
[19:15] <zanberdo> flexd, you might also try asking at #compiz-fusion. the guys over there know compiz inside and out and can help with video driver issues (usuall)
[19:15] <ASULutzy> flexd: either run metacity --replace & in a terminal, or go to system -> preferences -> appearence and turn desktop effects to off
[19:15] <flexd> Jack_Sparrow, i turned off the ones that seemed to have been enabled (window decoration, fading windows)
[19:15] <Jack_Sparrow> flexd, I thought you said they were off.. try metacity --replace
[19:16] <theos2> whic is the latest version of java?
[19:16] <flexd> Jack_Sparrow, i said i never turned any on ;)
[19:16] <Sanketsu> Ok, I'm going to take some pics of the log and post them to see if you can make any sense of them.
[19:16] <jrib> Ward1983: well @DX_CXXFLAGS@ is supposed to be getting replaced
[19:16] <ASULutzy> flexd: You can't just uncheck a few effects, you need to disable compiz
[19:16] <flexd> I just did what ASULutzy said.
[19:16] <flexd> will try to play movies

[19:17] <flexd> ASULutzy, now it doesnt flicker :)
[19:17] <[AU]Vaux> What does an IRC Bouncer do?
[19:17] <Hoo> did any one installed L2j on ubuntu?
[19:17] <jrib> Ward1983: what version did you download?
[19:17] <hobbes0061> which is not what i want.... i want the mounted folders and files to be owned by my default ubuntu user... how do i do that?
[19:17] <lorenzo> Jeruvy, wait a second, why do you say kubuntu? i have gnome. could it be that i once installed Kubuntu desktop just to try it out and then removed it? Would that have messed stuff up?
[19:18] <Flimm> What's a native package?
[19:18] <Ward1983> jrib, 0.4.3b tarball (darcs 0.4.4 seemed broken i tried it yesterday, and 0.4.4 tarball has a annoying qt4 bug)
[19:18] <Ward1983> jrib, on 64bit 8.10 btw
[19:18] <jrib> Ward1983: what is the b for?
[19:18] <Jeruvy> lorenzo: well the kubuntu front end would not involve GTK, so it's a way to see if that is in fact the problem, or the recorder itself is the issue.
[19:18] <Jack_Sparrow> hobbes0061, Keep the mounted files and folders .. under /home/$USER
[19:19] <hobbes0061> Jack_Sparrow... that's exactly what i did.
[19:19] <Ward1983> jrib, also i had to do some includes maunally, their code seems to be buggy (strange enough i do not remember having to do that on 7.04)
[19:19] <hobbes0061> i mounted them under /home/[myusername]/work
[19:19] <DonkeyKong> hey everyone, I have an Acer 6930 laptop and when I used Ekiga or even aMSN my webcam works but when I try to use Camormama or Cheese to take pictures it wont detect my webcam any help?
[19:19] <jrib> Ward1983: if you're grabbing the binary, why are you compiling at all?
[19:19] <Jack_Sparrow> hobbes0061, but because you used root to put them there you dont own them now?
[19:19] <hobbes0061> yes.
[19:19] <Ward1983> jrib, its not a binary...
[19:19] <hobbes0061> because of the sudo smbmountcommand
[19:20] <Jack_Sparrow> hobbes0061, one sec..
[19:20] <Ward1983> jrib, its the sources in a tarball
[19:20] <jrib> Ward1983: ah, never mind I didn't grok the 'b' in the tar.gz I downloaded
[19:20] <style> K/s is that kbytes per sec, or kbits per sec?
[19:20] <DonkeyKong> hey everyone, I have an Acer 6930 laptop and when I used Ekiga or even aMSN my webcam works but when I try to use Camormama or Cheese to take pictures it wont detect my webcam any help?
[19:21] <cdeszaq> What is the APT package for the CGI.pm perl module?
[19:21] <Jack_Sparrow> hobbes0061, here is a tutorial on how to do it for a partition, modify for use on folders and files.
[19:21] <Jack_Sparrow> hobbes0061, First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and type cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition  (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify
[19:21] <Jack_Sparrow> the permissions are set
[19:21] <FloodBot2> Jack_Sparrow: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:22] <style> FloodBot2: LOL!
[19:22] <hobbes0061> they cant be changed unfortunately
[19:22] <|unjustice|> what is the command to view hardware like soundcards?
[19:22] <hobbes0061> i did chmod -R 777 /home/[username]/work
[19:22] <zanberdo> |unjustice|, lspci
[19:22] <DaHopi> ikonia: any idea?
[19:22] <|unjustice|> ty
[19:22] <hobbes0061> i did chown as well
[19:22] <pablo_> somebody speak spanish?
[19:22] <hobbes0061> but it still remains owned by root :(
[19:22] <pablo_> help!!
[19:23] <Jack_Sparrow> |unjustice|, lshw
[19:23] <zanberdo> |unjustice|, that will list all pci hardware...
[19:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !es
[19:23] <style> The encrypted interpid folder, can someone tell me about how that works?
[19:23] <DonkeyKong> hey everyone, I have an Acer 6930 laptop and when I used Ekiga or even aMSN my webcam works but when I try to use Camormama or Cheese to take pictures it wont detect my webcam any help?
[19:23] <zanberdo> |unjustice|, lshw will list more detailed hardware information
[19:23] <jrib> Ward1983: what arch are you compiling on?
[19:23] <zanberdo> |unjustice|, but it seems Jack_Sparrow beat me to the punch on that...
[19:23] <Ward1983> jrib, 64bit 8.10
[19:23] <Ward1983> jrib, amd64 (core2duo)
[19:23]  * DaHopi is rebootiing
[19:24] <Ward1983> jrib, ./configure --with-MPEG3 --with-LIBPNG --with-GL --with-AVIFILE
[19:24] <zanberdo> style, google encfs - you will find a lot of information on the encryption method used for the encrypted directory (as this is what is used)
[19:25] <style> zanberdo: The password to decrypt, is that the user password, or?
[19:25] <zanberdo> style, generally there is another directory (hidden perhaps) that is the "real" encrypted directory.  This is then mounted with encfs to a visible directory (generally /Public)
[19:25] <zanberdo> style, rather ~/Public
[19:25] <pablo_> i've a problem with the usb in the virtualbox 2.1.0
[19:25] <zanberdo> style, I was just reading an article on the ubuntu site about how this is managed.  Can't recall the details, but it's tied to your user account
[19:25] <gfather> guys anyone know the package for PCRE library ?
[19:26] <jrib> Ward1983: heh, I get different errors than you http://paste.ubuntu.com/101820/
[19:26] <Jack_Sparrow> pablo_, /join #vbox
[19:26] <Ward1983> jrib, sorry: replace contrib/ffmpeg with a SVNed ffmpeg
[19:26] <Ward1983> jrib, svn checkout svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
[19:27] <jiffe89> I had amavisd-new installed on an ubuntu machine and it was removed along with any startup scripts, config files, but now when I try to reinstall it, it doesn't create a config file or init.d script
[19:27] <Ward1983> jrib, (that will fix that error)
[19:27] <hareldvd> which packag contains kpdf and kdiff3?
[19:27] <theos2> i deleted the latest version of jdownloader and iam doing a reinstallation but my insstallation when install the program starts from the beggining,any clue?
[19:27] <cperrin88> Hey, I have a proble with the Google Calendar function of Evolution. It does not load all the calendars I have set up
[19:27] <gfather> any idea ?
[19:28] <puff> Hm, that's odd.  I just installed ibex from scratch (new hard drive) and I couldn't get online using ifconfig/iwconfig/dhclient, got an odd "no IPV6 router present" in dmesg. However, using the GUI network manager, I got online  no problem.
[19:28] <gfather> libpcre not found , anyone knows the package ?
[19:28] <puff> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d3e3fb079
[19:28] <jrib> Ward1983: k, it's compiling.  estimate on how long the error takes to show up?
[19:28] <jiffe89> any idea how I can 'reset' the amavisd-new package?
[19:28] <zanberdo> hareldvd, you should be able to install kpdf using apt-get install kpdf - be advised it's a kde-dependent package and will likely install a number of kde libs
[19:28] <pablo_> sorry for my english, i'm from mexico and can't speak very good the english, i hope can you understand me
[19:29] <puff> Anyone?
[19:29] <zanberdo> !es
[19:29] <meho_> hi i am trying to connect to someone to help them with something i have remote desktop viewer but the connection is not going trough
[19:29] <pablo_> this is the problem http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/5964/usbvboxdr9.png
[19:29] <Ward1983> jrib, not too long, few minutes maybe, i have a 2.13Ghz C2D , jrib but im gonna try again myself too from scratch, so i know for certain that you dont need to make some includes (i had to make some but dont remember what files)
[19:29] <hareldvd> zanberdo: Trying apt-get install kpdf gives me: Package kpdf is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[19:30] <Ward1983> jrib, it was allways the same include missing in like 5 files
[19:30] <puff> pablo_: Try the channel #ubuntu-es
[19:30] <DaHopi> ikonia: do you have a idea?
[19:30] <theos2> i deleted the latest version of jdownloader and iam doing a reinstallation but my insstallation when install the program starts from the beggining,any clue?
[19:30] <pablo_> the vbox mark the usb like not disponible
[19:30] <meho_> please help its urgent
[19:30] <chattrz> hi
[19:30] <zanberdo> hareldvd, hmm... odd... of course, until recently I've been running kubuntu which includes kpdf, so I haven't tried to install it for gnome... sorry
[19:30] <chattrz> OT but does 15inches lcd have big difference in electricity usage than a 22inches lcd?
[19:31] <jrib> Ward1983: meh, ok sounds to involved for right now.  I'll be back in a few hours if you're still stuck then and we can bounce ideas around
[19:31] <pablo_> how can i get in in ubuntu-es?
[19:31] <ASULutzy> pablo_: You have to enable usb passthrough, /join #ubuntu-es for help in Spanish
[19:31] <hareldvd> any idea how to install skype?
[19:31] <ASULutzy> pablo_: type /join #ubuntu-es
[19:31] <jrib> !skype | hareldvd
[19:31] <zanberdo> chattrz, probably a better question for research than this channel
[19:31] <Ward1983> jrib, ok thanx in advance
[19:31] <user_> hareldvd: i believe kpdf was replaced by okular
[19:31] <pablo_> tanks
[19:31] <zanberdo> chattrz, and by research I mean google
[19:31] <meho_> anyone
[19:31] <chattrz> zanberdo: i was just hoping somebody has a brilliant idea while goggling
[19:31] <chattrz> :)
[19:32] <Ward1983> jrib, oh you need to do ./configure in the SVNed ffmpeg first btw
[19:32] <ASULutzy> meho_: Explain what you have tried and what happened
[19:32] <hareldvd> user_: which is the "native" ubuntu pdf viewer?
[19:32] <zanberdo> chattrz, I thought I knew,  but clearly my hubris lead me astray... :)
[19:32] <ikonia> DaHopi: sorry wasn't at my desk
[19:32] <Ward1983> jrib, i'll /msg you the steps i had to do while you're gone if thats ok
[19:32] <chattrz> zanberdo: hubris?what is that?
[19:32] <jrib> Ward1983: sure
[19:32] <user_> hareldvd: no
[19:32] <ASULutzy> chattrz: hurbis = excessive pride
[19:33] <zanberdo> chattrz, pride. but actually that message wasn't meant for you... :/
[19:33] <Ward1983> jrib, ok thanx for helping out
[19:33] <meho_> well what i tried is to use remote desktop viewer available on 8.04 version and typed in the ip address and the port but after a minute the message poppes up connection closed and it was not open in the first place
[19:33] <ikonia> DaHopi: your using a mac mouse ?
[19:34] <hareldvd> seem to me ubuntu uses ghostscript for pdf viewer is that so? (want to configure Firefox).
[19:34] <br3nden> How can I manage network traffic on the fly?
[19:34] <DaHopi> ikonia: no, standard mouse
[19:34] <ASULutzy> meho_: I prefer using the terminal server client, have you tried using that? Does the person you are trying to connect to have remote desktop enabled?
[19:34] <DaHopi> ikonia: .. on PS/2
[19:34] <chattrz> is hurbis an english word?
[19:34] <Ward1983> meho_, what exactly do you want to do / achieve?
[19:34] <zanberdo> hareldvd, evince
[19:34] <meho_> yes they do
[19:34] <avocado1> chattrz: yes
[19:34] <meho_> i will try terminal server
[19:35] <Sanketsu> Jeruvy, I went to switch my Ethernet cable over from my desktop to my laptop so I could just copy paste my /var/log/messages to a pastebin, but things just got weird, my ethernet connection is doing the same thing as my wireless now.
[19:35] <zanberdo> chattrz, well, it's a latin derivative.  check it out on dictionary.com
[19:35] <Ward1983> meho_, are you connecting over the internet to the other computer?
[19:35] <Ward1983> meho_, very important detail
[19:35] <ikonia> DaHopi: interesting it found a mac mouse
[19:35] <meho_> over the internet
[19:35] <Ward1983> meho_, is the other person behind a router?
[19:35] <chattrz> oh ok thanks
[19:35] <MindVirus> How do I copy the entire audio track from a DVD?
[19:35] <ASULutzy> meho_: Yea, they have to enable port forwarding on their end to make sure it works of course
[19:36] <meho_> they are
[19:36] <meho_> that is a big bother as she is not computer literate
[19:36] <zanberdo> chattrz, my bad, it's of Greek origin
[19:36] <Ward1983> meho_, setup portforwarding, i think VNC is TCP 5900 iirc
[19:36] <avocado1> MindVirus: i believe you can do it with the ffmpeg tool, but it's a bit complicated
[19:36] <ikonia> DaHopi: I'm not sure the powernow message is "the" fatal message
[19:36] <zanberdo> chattrz, from the 1880's... but this is off-topic.
[19:36] <MindVirus> I'll see, thanks.
[19:37] <Ward1983> meho_, then try to get her to setup remote administration, then you can setup the router (unless her modem NATs aswell offcourse)
[19:37] <ASULutzy> meho_: Well, you could have her plug her computer directly into the modem if possible, otherwise she will have to setup port forwarding, possibly setting her machine as DMZ will work
[19:37] <Ward1983> meho_, remote administration in the router that is
[19:37] <blubaustin> hey i was wondering y when I upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 on PPC I can only use it in low graphics mode... I tried editing the xorg.conf to no avail.
[19:37] <meho_> ok i will sort something
[19:37] <Ward1983> meho_, then you can just surf to her IP and setup the router for her, when you're done you can disable remote administration
[19:37] <DaHopi> ikonia: but livecd stops at "starting powernowd...... "
[19:37] <Ward1983> meho_, worst case use hamachi
[19:38] <meho_> hanachi ??
[19:38] <zanberdo> blubaustin, I have never worked with ppc and ubuntu.  Have you checked out YDL?
[19:38] <Ward1983> meho_, yeah or any VPN
[19:38] <ikonia> DaHopi: if you look at the syslog - it actually gets beyond that
[19:38] <blubaustin> yellow dog is fedora based
[19:38] <meho_> ok thanks
[19:38] <blubaustin> i like debian based
[19:38] <zanberdo> blubaustin, right...
[19:38] <zanberdo> zanberdo, understood
[19:39] <ikonia> blubaustin: there is an ubuntu version for PPC, it's community maintained
[19:39] <DaHopi> mmh
[19:39] <style> ikonia: For ps3?
[19:39] <ikonia> DaHopi: I'm just walking it through a little,
[19:39] <blubaustin> I used 7.10 ppc
[19:39] <blubaustin> it worked fine
[19:39] <ikonia> style: there is a PS4 specific version - again community driven, not official
[19:39] <Ward1983> meho_, (with VPN its like you're both connected to the same switch, no mather if you have NAT or not)
[19:39] <rubydiamond> how do i know which computers are running
[19:39] <blubaustin> until I upgraded to 8.10....
[19:39] <ikonia> style: PS3 sory
[19:39] <ikonia> sorry

[19:44] <Logomachist> Hi. I've got some serious problems. I installed Ubuntu (attempting to duel-boot XP and ubuntu) but Grub didn't kick in (I installed it a second time just to make sure). Someone recommended that I try SuperGrub Disk, so I downloaded and ran Autopsuper grub disk... and now I don't even have choice of booting into XP.
[19:44] <style> Jack_Sparrow: Minimal? I can use the standard instalation cd?
[19:44] <Logomachist> Recommendations?
[19:44] <Sanketsu> I had a hard drive failure and installed a new HDD on my laptop, then ended up doing a fresh install of Intrepid.  Everything worked just fine.  There were 200+ updates I could do though so I let them all install as normal, over the wireless here since all my wired ports are used up on my router.  After the updates and restart due to kernel updates neither my wired nor my wireless will connect to the internet.
[19:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Logomachist, boot windows disk and do a fixmbr
[19:44] <zanberdo> how can I confirm the UUID for a given dev?

[19:55] <neodemi> can i batch resample mp3s in ubuntu?
[19:55] <blobbylol> hi, i can't start kde anymore, when i enter my login, that does not start kde but that comes back to the login screen. If i type startkde in the terminal, i have $DISPLAY not set or cannot connect to X server ; i've seen that my hd was full 0 Ko free, so i've freed 2 Go but kde still does not start
[19:55] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: i have linksys broadcom bcmwl5.inf driver and am using ndiswrapper
[19:55] <thewestlaker> Hi all, I'm trying to add this command monit -d 60 to my rc.local  do I just add that or do I have to put it in "" or something... it's not working.. thanks
[19:56] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: try starting from konsole with "X :1 && export DISPLAY=:1 && startkde"
[19:56] <Blutrille> so the error after using "sudo debootstrap --arch i386 gusty chroot" is E: No such script: /user/share/debootstrap/script/gusty
[19:56] <ASULutzy> blobbylol: Did you see why your hard drive is filling up? I had the same thing happen to me kde put like a 50 GB log file on my system do du -x / | sort -n
[19:57] <AndreU_> please, can someone fetch me the patch from the forum?: could somebody please fetch it for me? http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=94854&d=1228735141
[19:57] <ichbinesderelch> dawildtwig: any error messages in dmesg?
[19:57] <blobbylol> ASULutzy: it's just that my partition is too small, but i've freed some space
[19:57] <caimlas> ASULutzy, yes kde4 is a piece of junk in that (and many other) regard
[19:58] <ozzilee> Anyone know why emacs would fail to save in a cifs-mounted smb share?
[19:58] <ASULutzy> caimlas: Yea, I use Gnome, was just fiddling with it and left it on overnight while watching some videos and it decided to fill up the entire disk ;)
[19:58] <caimlas> ozzilee, just in emacs? mounted in what means?
[19:58] <caimlas> by what means
[19:58] <hwilde> help my previously working ssh is failing with error "Disconnecting: Bad packet length 1397966893."
[19:59] <caimlas> ASULutzy, huh. some videos eh? :P
[19:59] <pdtpatri3k> ozzilee do you have permission to the destination ?
[19:59] <ozzilee> caimlas: mount -t cifs share mountpoint
[19:59] <hajar> hi ... built-in bluetooth does not work ...how to solve this?
[19:59] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: any ideas?
[19:59] <ozzilee> pdtpatri3k: Yes, I have permissions.
[19:59] <caimlas> ozzilee, permissions will need to be set correctly: on the mount point, on the server's share and at the server filesystem level
[19:59] <ichbinesderelch> dawildtwig: dmesg errors?
[19:59] <ozzilee> The first time I try to save it works, the second time I get an error about the path not being a directory.
[19:59] <ASULutzy> caimlas: I had elisa going, was watching some TV shows, woke up with a 50 GB log file in /var/log about weird 3d stuff and yea, it wasn't fun ;)
[20:00] <ozzilee> Also, if I try to chmod the mount point, chmod tells me that it is not a directory.
[20:00] <ozzilee> A different mount from a different server works fine.
[20:00] <ichbinesderelch> dawildtwig: and did you try connecting through the network manager or in konsole/any other programm?
[20:00] <ozzilee> Offending server is debian, working server is OS X server.
[20:00] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: 1 sec lemme check
[20:00] <blobbylol> so, nobody has an ideA ?
[20:00] <pdtpatri3k> ozzilee first off is the mount working properly?
[20:00] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: try starting from konsole with "X :1 && export DISPLAY=:1 && startkde"
[20:00] <caimlas> ASULutzy, hmm sounds like yet another issue with X and 3d/rendering atm
[20:00] <ichbinesderelch> tried that?
[20:01] <caimlas> ozzilee, try mounting with smbfs
[20:01] <ozzilee> pdtpatri3k: Well, for most definititions for properly, yeah. Except for emacs.
[20:01] <ozzilee> caimlas: smbfs just calls mount.cifs nowadays.
[20:01] <caimlas> blobbylol, what was your problem?
[20:01] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: the only thing i see in there is pcmcia: this interface will soon be removed from the kernel ; plase expect breakage unless you upgrade to new tools
[20:01] <blobbylol> caimlas: i cannot start kde anymore
[20:01] <caimlas> ozzilee, wasn't sure; mounting from ubuntu?
[20:02] <pdtpatri3k> ozzilee is it only emacs that cannot save to the directory ?
[20:02] <ozzilee> caimlas: Yes, mounting from 8.10
[20:02] <blobbylol> caimlas: if i try to login it comes back to the login screen
[20:02] <hwilde> help my previously working ssh is failing with error "Disconnecting: Bad packet length 1397966893."
[20:02] <ichbinesderelch> dawildtwig: kk, and tried connecten with entwork manager?
[20:02] <ozzilee> pdtpatri3k: Only emacs, yes, and only on the second save. If I close the file and re-open, it will save once more.
[20:02] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: but i mean it says it loaded ndiswrapper wlan0 using ndsi driver: bcmwl5 and than states the encryption methods supported
[20:03] <Kev^^^>  Hi :) can someone help me with /etc/fstab ?:)
[20:03] <caimlas> ozzilee, I'm tempted to tell you to go to #debian and pester a specific shallow-minded op over there with the specific directions to tell him "this is a debian problem not an ubuntu problem" but I don't want to waste your time. :P
[20:03] <caimlas> blobbylol, did you look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log yet?
[20:03] <dawildtwig> Kev^^^: what do you need help with
[20:04] <pdtpatri3k> ozzilee hmm in that case i havent seen that problem yet ..
[20:04] <ASULutzy> hwilde: ssh -vvv
[20:04] <ozzilee> caimlas: Yup, came from #debian. As soon as they asked my kernel version they told me to get lost :-)
[20:04] <blobbylol> caimlas: no
[20:04] <caimlas> ozzilee, that sounds like an oplock issue in debian, actually. you have log access on the debian machine?
[20:04] <ozzilee> caimlas: Also been in #emacs (no help) and #samba (no answer)
[20:04] <ASULutzy> hwilde: Probably screwyness in interoperability, an ugly fix would be to try ssh -1
[20:04] <caimlas> ozzilee, I'm not intimate w/ emacs so I can't say, exactly
[20:04] <BlackHawk> does anyone here have experience with thunderbird? I'm not sure if it is Ubuntu's problem or Thunderbird's ... but at the thunderbird-channel on mozilla I don't get any answer ...
[20:04] <ozzilee> caimlas: Yeah, I'll bring it up.
[20:05] <caimlas> blobbylol, you should look; do you know how?
[20:05] <pdtpatri3k> ozzilee why did they tell you to get lost after you told them your kernel version?
[20:05] <caimlas> blobbylol, I suspect you will find something in there about a file such as /home/yourusername/.Xauthority futzing things up
[20:05] <blobbylol> caimlas: yes but i can't pastebin it, i'm on a terminal
[20:05] <ozzilee> pdtpatri3k: I'm guessing because they could tell it was an Ubuntu kernell.
[20:05] <ASULutzy> blobbylol: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[20:05] <ozzilee> *kernel
[20:06] <Jack_Sparrow> BlackHawk, Thunderbird seems to work fine for me. What is the actual issue
[20:06] <hwilde> ASULutzy, cmon now I googled and found those same articles.  That is bogus.  I haven't upgraded any of the three machines
[20:06] <caimlas> ozzilee, who, specifically, told you to get lost? there's a real finger-dragger in there who banned me for a generic question about .deb package management
[20:06] <pdtpatri3k> ozzilee yeah but at the same time you should be to ask them specific emacs question .. thats odd that they wouldnt help considering ubuntu is debian based and its basically the same thing
[20:06] <caimlas> blobbylol, I don't want you to pastebin it.
[20:06] <themiddleman> hey guys my trash froze while emptying, is it okay to use an rm command on ~/.local/trash, whatever it is
[20:06] <ASULutzy> hwilde: Well, the ssh -v or -vv is still worth doing to maybe see some more meaningful output
[20:07] <hwilde> ASULutzy, I have that output.  Doesn't help much
[20:07] <blobbylol> caimlas: what do you want me to do ?
[20:07] <Jack_Sparrow> pdtpatri3k, No we dont take care of each others products
[20:07] <nuckle> anyone seen this ? ~~> http://tinyurl.com/4jgawb
[20:07] <rubydiamond> hey do anyboyd use nmap here
[20:07] <rubydiamond> I want to scan a network for up machines
[20:07] <hwilde> ASULutzy, if I can ssh serverA, then ssh serverB,  why can't I ssh -tt serverA nc serverB 22
[20:07] <rubydiamond> also open ports
[20:07] <hwilde> ASULutzy, especially since this worked yesterday
[20:07] <BlackHawk> Jack_Sparrow, my specific problem is an error with the webmail-extension ... It just returns that it couldn't connect to the server at localhost, because the connection was refused
[20:07] <caimlas> blobbylol, actually look through the Xorg.0.log.old (think that's what it gets called)
[20:07] <blobbylol> why .old ?
[20:08] <caimlas> blobbylol, what you're looking for will be near the end of the log
[20:08] <ASULutzy> hwilde: that does seem pretty odd
[20:08] <ichbinesderelch> dawildtwig: internet connection gone, did you try connecting manually in konsole?
[20:08] <pdtpatri3k> Jack_Sparrow so ur saying if someone had a random question just because its different names yet the same package management.. u wont help? thats odd
[20:08] <judgen> ive forgotten where gnome stores gnome menu entries.. could anyone enlighten me?
[20:08] <BlackHawk> does that have anything to do with another program using localhost?
[20:08] <hwilde> ASULutzy, yeah I wouldn't be here otherwise :/    very odd.  it's all over the web forums, but no solutions
[20:08] <caimlas> blobbylol, it will be a reference to a file, likely a file within your $HOME or /tmp
[20:08] <Jack_Sparrow> pdtpatri3k, This is ubuntu support, not mint not eee  .. Ubuntu..
[20:09] <caimlas> blobbylol, is the partition your $HOME or /tmp on, full?
[20:09] <nuckle> anyone seen this ? ~~> http://tinyurl.com/4jgawb
[20:09] <ASULutzy> hwilde: Anything funny in the configs that might have gotten changed?
[20:09] <themiddleman> can we kick nuckle?
[20:09] <Jack_Sparrow> pdtpatri3k, There is little more aggrivating that to spend an hour on a problem and get nowhere only to find out they are using a derivative whith different sources and additions
[20:09] <pdtpatri3k> Jack_Sparrow yes but if someone had debian and needed something install i would say run apt-get install <packagename> and not tell them to get lost
[20:09] <ASULutzy> What are the last modified times on the configs?
[20:10] <caimlas> blobbylol, .old because that is the name of the log for the last time X was run. if you're getting kicked out as you log in I suspect that X is being restarted as gdm/kdm reloads.
[20:10] <blobbylol> my $HOME partition is not full anymore, i've freed some space
[20:10] <caimlas> blobbylol, what about the partition /tmp is on?
[20:10] <caimlas> blobbylol, have you rebooted?
[20:10] <Jack_Sparrow> themiddleman, Did he spam again with that link
[20:10] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: works fine with ethernet so nothing could be wrong with the stack or anything like that just can't seem to get the wireless to work but everything is recognized lights up
[20:10] <pdtpatri3k> Jack_Sparrow but there are lots of similarities like if i had a problem with vi .. and just wanted to know what command to use while in vi .. im sure its the same on debian and ubuntu
[20:10] <dynga> Кто нить ставил ыщдфкш
[20:10] <caimlas> ozzilee, how's it going? did I miss a msg from you?
[20:10] <blobbylol> caimlas: yes
[20:10] <themiddleman> Jack_Sparrow, yeah
[20:10] <ASULutzy> !ru | dynga
[20:10] <MOUD_> my connection is very bad today :/
[20:10] <blobbylol> caimlas: if i write df -h i can't see the /tmp partition
[20:11] <ichbinesderelch> dawildtwig: try connecting manually in console, any encryption?
[20:11] <caimlas> blobbylol, /tmp isn't usually an independent partition; it's a part of the / partition
[20:11] <hwilde> ASULutzy, fyi ssh -1 doesn't make any diff
[20:11] <pdtpatri3k> Jack_Sparrow he asked a simple question about emacs and they told him get lost ... thats nothing specific to one distro - it works on fedora, slax whatever.. anyway - im over it
[20:11] <blobbylol> caimlas: the / partition has more than 2 Go free, now
[20:11] <gasto> anyone know how to leave Ubuntu as it was from the beginning, without reinstalling with CD
[20:12] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: how do you connect manually in console i don't have encryption i use wireless mac filtering through the router itself
[20:12] <gasto> ?
[20:12] <blobbylol> caimlas: isn't there some kind of tmp files that i can delete ?
[20:12] <caimlas> blobbylol, tell ya what... rm ~/.Xauthority and rm -rf /tmp (both as your user), restart X, and then you should be able to log in.
[20:12] <hwilde> there is an #emacs channel you know....
[20:12] <alexurc>  Hi! I just installed successfully VMWare server on Ubuntu 8.10, but it wont let me click to create a new virtual machine its greyed out and disabled..
[20:12] <ASULutzy> hwilde: I know this sounds lame, but I would check the timestamps on the last time the configs on each server were modified, if you're saying it worked yesterday and now it doesn't, that may help to track down the problem
[20:12] <Jack_Sparrow> gasto, Best to make a backup if you want to go BACK to the way it was when you installed it
[20:12] <caimlas> blobbylol, if that doesn't work you could try adding another user to determine whether it's a user profile issue or if it's related to X specifically.
[20:12] <hwilde> ASULutzy, I checked, and restarted sshd, and rebooted, can't make heads or tails of it.
[20:12] <ichbinesderelch> dawildtwig: i assume the networkinterface is wlan0, so "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid networkname"
[20:12] <caimlas> blobbylol, could be; no way to say without knowing which tmp files you've got.
[20:13] <ichbinesderelch> dawildtwig: networkname is the name of your network
[20:13] <MOUD_> Can anyone tell me where kbounce is installed? I'm using Ubuntu's default desktop (gnome if i'm not wrong)
[20:13] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: and i checked the router too and that is fine cuz my other computer works on wireless as well through that
[20:13] <caimlas> gasto, yes.
[20:13] <oz6oh> Hello friends. Can somebody help me to compile a sourcefile called echolinux
[20:13] <caimlas> gasto, to a degree. are you talking about application state, or desktop configuration?
[20:13] <blobbylol> caimlas: i've already tried with another user, that does not work
[20:13] <ASULutzy> hwilde: I'm out of ideas :X
[20:13] <blobbylol> caimlas: do i have to delete /tmp as su ?
[20:13] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: will do 1 min
[20:13] <erebe> hi
[20:13] <caimlas> gasto, there's no going back to the installed programs state, short of manually weeding through them
[20:13] <ozzilee> caimlas: stew was the guy, wasn't "get lost" in so many words, but that was the jist of it.
[20:13] <oz6oh> i am also on skype as olebole1252
[20:13] <Blutrille> anyone here answer questions about PAM?
[20:13] <Jack_Sparrow> MOUD_, Some apps, especially KDE apps under gnome will not make a launcher.  Create one yourself
[20:13] <ozzilee> caimlas: Sorry, phone call.
[20:14] <caimlas> blobbylol, doing so as a user should, iirc, zap all files owned by said user.
[20:14] <hwilde> ASULutzy, the odd part ot me is that the end serverB dosen't seem to see the connection at all, or I can't find it in the logs.
[20:14] <caimlas> ozzilee, heh. can't recall the guy who banned me.
[20:14] <blobbylol> caimlas: but there are a lot of tmp files that are not deleted if i do it as a user
[20:14] <caimlas> blobbylol, and you can log into console with said users?
[20:15] <Laderius>  xbmc users?
[20:15] <blobbylol> caimlas: yes i'm currently logged
[20:15] <caimlas> blobbylol, sure, do it as root then.
[20:15] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: did that still don't connect just goes to the next line for the command
[20:15] <Blutrille> ok well good day to you all ... ill see you about
[20:15] <caimlas> blobbylol, shouldn't cause issue unless you've got a daemon running using a lock file in there or such
[20:15] <Laderius> Im setting up my ubuntu to send files to my xbmc xbox, whats the fastest file transfer protocol?
[20:15] <ozzilee> caimlas: The only errors I see in the logs are not being able to open /etc/printcap.
[20:15] <BlackHawk> Jack_Sparrow, any idea about this localhost-problem with the webmail-extension?
[20:15] <gasto> ehm so basically, no, you can´t put Ubuntu as it was when just installed
[20:15] <Jack_Sparrow> BlackHawk, Nope
[20:15] <caimlas> gasto, what exactly are you trying to revert?
[20:16] <gasto> well, I had an issue
[20:16] <BlackHawk> Jack_Sparrow, kk ... thx anyway
[20:16] <ichbinesderelch> dawildtwig: what does "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" and "lsmod | grep bcm" say?
[20:16] <gasto> with the Nvidia driver
[20:16] <caimlas> ozzilee, which logs are you looking at?
[20:16] <caimlas> Laderius, ftp
[20:16] <blobbylol> caimlas: X does not start anymore because i've deleter /tmp/.X11-unix
[20:16] <blobbylol> deleted*
[20:16] <gasto> caimlas, I had an issue with Geforce 6200 Nvidia driver, and when using Envy, things got really nasty
[20:16] <ozzilee> caimlas: /var/log/samba/log.smbd, log.myclient
[20:16] <blobbylol> "cannot stat /tmp/.X11-unix"
[20:17] <Laderius> caimlas, do i need a ftp program? and can i enable full duplex?
[20:17] <gasto> caimlas, so, I have envy installed, but envy -t doesn´t work
[20:17] <gasto> caimlas, so I am fcked up
[20:17] <gasto> I need to get back
[20:17] <caimlas> gasto, ah fun. yeah I'm not sure specifically what you'd need to do; you could reinstall w/o killing your home folder/files, if you set up the /home dir as a seperate partition.
[20:17] <oz6oh> i am looking for radioamateurs and some who know to work with a makefile
[20:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !ohmy > gasto
[20:17]  * caimlas is being slightly overwhelmed with msgs, just a moment
[20:18] <Jack_Sparrow> gasto, Do you mean envy from the web..
[20:18] <caimlas> gasto, idk what envy is
[20:18]  * ozzilee can wait
[20:18] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: the scan says my router essid router protocol all that nonsense and lsmod thing doesn't return anything just goes to the next line
[20:18] <Sanketsu> ichbinesderelch, After you're done helping out dawildtwig would you mind helping me out as well?
[20:18] <caimlas> Laderius, yes; and I don't see why not.
[20:18] <oz6oh> I am looking for radioamateurs and people who know something about makefiles
[20:18] <caimlas> oz6oh, i might be able to help.
[20:18] <tonyyarusso> Does anyone know how to pair with a bluetooth device on the command line?  The applet doesn't work right.
[20:19] <caimlas> gasto, again,  idon't know what envy is
[20:19] <oz6oh> caimlas ok can yoy help me?
[20:19] <caimlas> ozzilee, can you pastebin the smb.conf and related files?
[20:19] <gasto> caimlas, http://albertomilone.com/envyfaq.html#A
[20:20] <Laderius> caimlas, which program
[20:20] <caimlas> oz6oh, yeah I'll help you in /msg not in open channel
[20:20] <Jack_Sparrow> gasto, That was your first mistake
[20:20] <caimlas> Laderius, uh, ftp will transfer files.
[20:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy
[20:20] <oz6oh> caimlas can you also work on skype?
[20:20] <Laderius> caimlas, im aware but how would i connect to set it up?
[20:20] <blobbylol> x
[20:20] <ichbinesderelch> dawildtwig: strange problem there, everything seems to work, kinda, maybe try reinstalling the driver with ndiswrapper, and deinstalling it before
[20:21] <Laderius> caimlas, i know the ip and username/pass
[20:21] <caimlas> oz6oh, you probably don't want me to. I'm on day 3 of being cigarette free (read: irritable is an understatement) and I've also got a bad sore throat.
[20:21] <oz6oh> caimlas i have skypename olebole1252
[20:21] <caimlas> pretty noisy here atm as well
[20:21] <caimlas> Laderius, on the xbox? nfi
[20:21] <Laderius> caimlas, no in ubuntu!
[20:21] <ichbinesderelch> Sanketsu: whats your prob?
[20:21] <hajar> bluetooth is not work .. how to solve it?
[20:21] <caimlas> Laderius, gftp
[20:21] <blobbylol> X does not start anymore : "cannot stat /tmp/.X11-unix (file not found)"
[20:21] <Laderius> caimlas, thx
[20:21] <cerebrate> what program are you using for bluetooth hajar?
[20:21] <gasto> Jack_Sparrow, I know that is last resort, that is why I used it, but failed miserably
[20:22] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: tried reinstalling it as well it may be the script that was put into there i was haveing a conflict with ubuntu drivers trying to claim my wireless
[20:22] <DkySven> hello people, I've a problem with my HP mini-note. I downloaded the via drivers and changed vesa by via, but now I've just  ablack screen
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> gasto, and once you have used it,  other things that should work.. may not
[20:22] <hajar> bluetooth sharing file
[20:23] <gasto> Jack_Sparrow, so you say basically, 'don´t use envy'
[20:23] <gasto> ?
[20:23] <cerebrate> hajar, how exactly does it 'not work'?
[20:23] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: how do you uninstall ndiswrapper?
[20:23] <ichbinesderelch> dawildtwig: do you remember the exact conflikt?
[20:23] <ASULutzy> blobbylol: sudo mkdir -p /tmp/.X11-unix maybe?
[20:23] <caimlas> blobbylol, restart kdm or gdm, whatever you're using
[20:23] <Sanketsu> ichbinesderelch: Well, I've got a Vaio laptop with a fresh install of intrepid on it due to a hard drive crash (so new hard drive and install of intrepid) and everything was working fine until I updated.  There were 200+ updates and after the updates I had to restart, since then my laptop won't connect to the internet, neither wired nor wireless.
[20:23] <Jack_Sparrow> gasto, wont use it wont recommend it
[20:23] <hajar> send file is not active and when I search for devices in terminal nothing occur
[20:24] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: yea it was with the ethernet card
[20:24] <gasto> caimlas and Jack_sparrow, I've tried restricted drivers automatic update, but failed, tried Nvidia package directly, but failed, tried envy but failed
[20:24] <Jack_Sparrow> gasto, and last but not least, cant help you once you have used it
[20:24] <caimlas> DkySven, send it to me and I'll 'fix' it :P
[20:24] <ichbinesderelch> dawildtwig: uninstalling it with "sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-common"
[20:24] <caimlas> DkySven, that a linux device?
[20:24] <cerebrate> hajar, you've made sure that the device you're trying to connect to is in pairing mod, right?
[20:24] <cerebrate> *mode
[20:24] <Jack_Sparrow> gasto, tell people what chipset in that nvidia..
[20:24] <ozzilee> caimlas: smb.conf is stock debian, with include=shares.conf added at the bottom. shares.conf has some shares defined with: path = /srv/samba/foo, writable = yes, browseable = no, and valid users = foo
[20:24] <syahril> execuse me! how to find where ubuntu detect my external usb dvd-rom?
[20:24] <DkySven> XD
[20:25] <ichbinesderelch> Sanketsu: what wireless card and ethernet card? correct modules loaded?
[20:25] <caimlas> ozzilee, I don't have a stock debian box to source. ;P
[20:25] <ozzilee> caimlas: I tried disabling oplocks on a share, didn't seem to make a difference.
[20:25] <hajar> no devices occur at all , and trying different device to pair
[20:25] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: where there was b3 b4 and one other one
[20:25] <allsystemsarego> syahril, lspci | grep i dvd
[20:25] <caimlas> ozzilee, have you tried this from another host, per chance? or w/ other applications which might make a lock?
[20:25] <allsystemsarego> syahril, lspci | grep -i dvd
[20:25] <syahril> thank's i'll try
[20:25] <ozzilee> caimlas: Ok, I'll get it pastebinned, one moment.
[20:25] <gasto> Jack_Sparrow, how can I tell?
[20:25] <ozzilee> caimlas: I'll try another host as well.
[20:25] <Sanketsu> ichbinesderelch: Prism 2.5 wavelan card for wireless, and I'm not sure on ethernet.  How do I find that out?
[20:26] <blobbylol> caimlas: ASULutzy: now it cannot open /tmp/server-0.xkm
[20:26] <dawildtwig> Ok this is the problem that i am using ndiswrapper but the problem is that it keeps loading modules b43, b44, and ssb. The only way to get the wireless to work is to remove all of those. The only problem is that when i do that the ethernet card won't work now.
[20:26] <dawildtwig> How do i make the driver be ndiswrapper while also having the module b44 and ssb loaded for my ethernet card. I have ubuntu 8.10.
[20:26] <caimlas> syahril, after you plug it in type dmesg in console to determine whether it is detected and to which device it is assigned. typically it'll throw an icon onto your desktop when media is inserted.
[20:26] <cerebrate> hajar, have you checked to make sure you bluetooth adapter is supported? have you paired devices before?
[20:26] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: exactly it was this Ok this is the problem that i am using ndiswrapper but the problem is that it keeps loading modules b43, b44, and ssb. The only way to get the wireless to work is to remove all of those. The only problem is that when i do that the ethernet card won't work now.
[20:26] <dawildtwig> How do i make the driver be ndiswrapper while also having the module b44 and ssb loaded for my ethernet card. I have ubuntu 8.10.
[20:26] <caimlas> blobbylol, right. did you restart kdm/gdm?
[20:26] <SonicComKid> Hi.. could someone answer a very dumb question for me? It's been driving me up the wall
[20:26] <blobbylol> blobbylol: yes
[20:26] <hajar> no .
[20:26] <blobbylol> caimlas: yes
[20:26] <cerebrate> hajar, you should probably double check up on that
[20:27] <blobbylol> caimlas: oh sorry that works
[20:27] <caimlas> blobbylol, ok, stop gdm/kdm now, and try to 'startx' as a normal user.
[20:27] <caimlas> blobbylol, can you log in?
[20:27] <eugman> Is there a gui tool for doing batch resizes of images or am I stuck with command line stuff like imagemagick?
[20:27] <ichbinesderelch> dawildtwig: you could blacklist b43 and b44, unsure what kinda module ssb is though, but blacklisting b43 and b44 for wireless maybe does the trick
[20:27] <blobbylol> caimlas: no i still can't :(
[20:27] <ozzilee> caimlas: pastebin.com/d1666f90d
[20:27] <garwal> garwal
[20:27] <hajar> searching on net ?? nothing relating to my model
[20:28] <SonicComKid> I have two desktops, both with Ubuntu Hardy (8.01), on both I download hldsupdatetool.bin, on both I do the chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin    then when I do ./hldsupdatetool.bin one works, the other says the file is missing, but I'm in the working directory of where the file is
[20:28] <gasto> Jack_Sparrow, how can I tell my Nvidia chipset?
[20:28] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: tried blacklisting you have to black list all 3 and when you do so it won't work for the wireless
[20:28] <allsystemsarego> gasto, lspci -nn | grep -i vga
[20:28] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: because the wireless also uses ssb
[20:28] <Sid__> I have windows as OS ..I want to install Ubuntu and use a dual boot machine there was problem installing ubuntu 8.1...butGrub doesn't not show ubuntu 8.1  option
[20:29] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: so the fix was to type this in from the no fluff guide "echo -e '#Hardy ssb/ndiswrapper workaround, added' `date` '\ninstall ndiswrapper modprobe -r b43 b44 b43legacy ssb; modprobe --ignore-install ndiswrapper $CMDLINE_OPTS; modprobe ssb; modprobe b44;' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper"

[20:30] <iShock> Stats updated! View: http://bzhtf.co.cc/~lee/ubuntu.html
[20:30] <caimlas> blobbylol, ctl-alt-F1 over to console, log in, and wade wade through the Xorg.0.log file
[20:30] <caimlas> blobbylol, and, I take it you tried it with the alternate user? and iwth a different desktop environment?
[20:30] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: and that worked until i did an update
[20:30] <blobbylol> what does wade mean ?
[20:30] <hajar> cerebrate .. how to (check up)??
[20:30] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: that code pretty much loaded ndiswrapper before loading the other 3 modules
[20:30] <pogay> playya: was ich nicht verstehe, wenn eine Verbindung zu WLAN-Router da ist, warum geht der DHCP nicht mehr? DHCP ist ja eigentlich einfach. Ich sehe den Zusammenhang zum Update nicht...
[20:31] <Sanketsu> dawildtwig: Do you know which update?
[20:31] <caimlas> blobbylol, and out of curiosity, this wouldn't have happened directly after you ran an upgrade, would it?
[20:31] <ASULutzy> iShock: I'm 6th most active in this channel? Geeze, I should shutup more
[20:31] <family> hey, i just installed xubuntu8.10, and i enabled extra repos
[20:31] <ichbinesderelch> dawildtwig: go through lsmod and check if any of these modules is loaded never the less
[20:31] <blobbylol> caimlas: no,  i don't think it was after an upgrade
[20:31] <dawildtwig> Sanketsu: no i just updated about 1 week ago and installed about 1 month ago
[20:31] <DkySven> my screen resolution doesn't fit at my 7' HP mini, anyone knows how to fix that?
[20:31] <pogay> playya:  da der Zyair 220G auf anhieb ging, ist das Problem mal für den Moment nicht mehr so akut.
[20:31] <family> when i type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras it does nothing, is there a diferent command for xubuntu?
[20:32] <Sid__> it only shows memtest when grub loads and no ubuntu option to boot
[20:32] <ikonia> iShock: may I pm you for an offtopic question please.
[20:32] <iShock> ikonia: Sure, no need to ask :P
[20:32] <caimlas> blobbylol, wade, verb. to make one's way slowly or laboriously (often fol. by through): to wade through a dull book.
[20:32] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: yea they are loaded that code just made sure that ndiswrapper was loaded before them
[20:32] <blobbylol> caimlas: i've tried with a new user and i've tried with kde and kde-neon
[20:33] <caimlas> blobbylol, and you tried logging in with a different desktop environment (ie gnome or xfce instead of kde) as well as with a different user (with a different DE)?

[20:34] <dawildtwig> ichbinesderelch: will do
[20:34] <dawildtwig> thanks for the help
[20:34] <caimlas> blobbylol, we're looking to see if QT is f'd
[20:35] <blobbylol> f'd ?
[20:35] <caimlas> blobbylol, because you're apparently unwilling to look through the logs to find the cause of the problem, which will be in the log.
[20:35] <caimlas> blobbylol, insert your preferred explicative which starts with "f"
[20:35] <blobbylol> caimlas: i don't know what to seek in this huge log file
[20:35] <blobbylol> caimlas: ok
[20:36] <caimlas> blobbylol, the line you would be looking for would start with EE
[20:36] <Flannel> caimlas: Obfuscated profanity still is.  Please refrain from it
[20:36] <ozzilee> caimlas: 3.0.24-6etch10
[20:36] <caimlas> blobbylol, it's not that long.
[20:36] <blobbylol> caimlas: ok i'll take a look
[20:36] <herpez> hi. i installed ubuntu 8.10 and i cant go to any website unless google-related websites. I can ping all sites but cant go them
[20:36] <caimlas> Flannel, yeah I know. sorry. subconscious.
[20:36] <__MAV> How do I view all kernel boot-up messages? They go so quiclky so I can't read them
[20:36] <caimlas> you should see me unbridled. this IS refrained. :P
[20:36] <chattrz> herpez: check your provider or your gateway
[20:37] <caimlas> herpez, that's... odd.
[20:37] <caimlas> herpez, restart the network service. run from console: /etc/init.d/networking restart
[20:37] <Logomachist> I'm back. I tried to run fixmbr but I couldn't find the file.
[20:37] <Logomachist> Where is it?
[20:37] <caimlas> herpez, that should do the trick, and if not, well...
[20:37] <__MAV> How do I view all kernel boot-up messages? They go so quiclky so I can't read them
[20:37] <ikonia> Logomachist: on a windows PC
[20:37] <ikonia> Logomachist: CD sorry
[20:37] <ikonia> Logomachist: fixmbr is a windows cd option
[20:37] <caimlas> __MAV, dmesg
[20:38] <Logomachist> oooooooo. OK, that helps
[20:38] <caimlas> __MAV, they're in /var/log
[20:38] <ikonia> Logomachist: you can get support for it in ##windows
[20:38] <blobbylol> caimlas: http://pastebin.com/f56042056 there are only these three lines after a "grep EE"
[20:38] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: you can't log into kdm right?
[20:38] <picca-> anyone here know of a good alternative to pidgin that supports webcams and is for gnome
[20:38] <qhartman> I need to examine the post-install scripts that a package runs to try to figure out why it's failing. How do I extract those from the deb file?
[20:38] <__MAV> caimlas: I need to log the messages that appear _before_ the dard drive is mounted
[20:38] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: into kde yes
[20:38] <__MAV> caimlas: I need to log the messages that appear _before_ the hard drive is mounted
[20:39] <herpez> chattrz: is not provider or dns. i tryed it. ill sites work in windows. more strange, i can wget any file, for example apt-get files but apt-get dont work
[20:39] <Sanketsu> ichbinesderelch: lspci -v | grep -i Network        returns      02:02.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01)
[20:39] <caimlas> ozzilee, don't recall if you said, but did you checked the /var/log/samba/log.%m file for your host?
[20:39] <ikonia> picca-: not really, it's the protocol not the application thats the problem
[20:39] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: did you do the X update and still using an xorg.conf?
[20:39] <batawi> hi?
[20:39] <batawi> hi!
[20:39] <ichbinesderelch> Sanketsu: i really have no idea about prism wlan adapters
[20:39] <herpez> chattrz: and this "bug" is common, i have seen many references on internet about it
[20:39] <picca-> ikonia: have been trying it with kopete, but doesn't work so well
[20:39] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: which X update ? i think a xorg.conf is used, yes, i don't know
[20:39] <LazersM> Hey, can anyone spend a second to help me?
[20:39] <ozzilee> caimlas: I did, found nothing except messages about not being able to load printcap.
[20:40] <ikonia> picca-: I can undestand that, as I said it's the im protocols, not the application
[20:40] <ikonia> LazersM: if you ask a question we can try
[20:40] <LazersM> Kubuntu won't boot off the DVD.
[20:40] <__MAV> ow do I view all kernel boot-up messages that appear before the hard-drive is mounted? They go so quiclky so I can't read them.
[20:40] <picca-> ikonia: aye thanks
[20:40] <ikonia> LazersM: what happens when you try to boot it
[20:40] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: do you have a nvidia card?
[20:40] <chattrz> herpez: your ubuntu must be having a problem while you install ,check your dns /etc/resolv.conf or restart your network sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[20:40] <caimlas> __MAV, wht is it you're trying to do, exactly? the head of the dmesg output will contain everything from CPU initialization through the current running state (well, system level nonsense)
[20:40] <Zzeiss> __MAV: try "dmesg | less"
[20:40] <LazersM> boots to windows normally
[20:40] <Sanketsu> ichbinesderelch:  Ok, thanks.
[20:40] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: yes
[20:41] <ikonia> LazersM: ok so either a.) your bios is not set to boot from cdrom first b.) your cd/dvd is not bunt correctly
[20:41] <LazersM> I have managed to boot Puppy Linux and Mandriva up, but these are both on CDs.
[20:41] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: try addint to xorg.conf under Device Section: Option    "BackingStore" "False"
[20:41] <blobbylol> in the Xorg.0.log.old file there is also the error XKB : could not compile keymap
[20:41] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: ok
[20:41] <ikonia> LazersM: I suspect your burn is bad in that case
[20:41] <LazersM> It's set up to boot correctly.
[20:41] <LazersM> The drive is a DVDROM
[20:41] <__MAV> caimlas: I'm trying to understand why is my Xen-enabled kernel won't detect my SATA drive
[20:41] <ikonia> LazersM: I suspect your burn is bad in that case
[20:41] <LazersM> But in the bios it lists as CDRW.
[20:41] <__MAV> I want to see the sata_nv errors
[20:42] <LazersM> Hmm, I  guess so.
[20:42] <caimlas> ozzilee, you said you had an issue with the mount point permission, right?
[20:42] <__MAV> but they just go very fast
[20:42] <ikonia> LazersM: don't I wouldn't worry too much about that
[20:42] <LazersM> i used a random iso burner.
[20:42] <caimlas> __MAV, is this a self-compiled kernel?
[20:42] <ikonia> LazersM: burning cd images to dvd's can cause a problem
[20:42] <herpez> chattz, i will reboot, but it isnt a dns problem, because i have tried 3 differente. brb
[20:42] <__MAV> caimlas: yes
[20:42] <LazersM> Yes, I did think of that, but I don't see an alternative.
[20:42] <caimlas> __MAV, did you build a kernel that works from the same source tree?
[20:42] <LazersM> Is there a 'DVD-kubuntu' ?
[20:42] <ozzilee> caimlas: The issue is that emacs will not save in the mount point, because it doesn't think it is a directory. chmod doesn't think it's a directory either.
[20:43] <ikonia> LazersM: nope, you could buy some cd's
[20:43] <Sanketsu> ichbinesderelch: Well, I've got a Vaio laptop with a fresh install of intrepid on it due to a hard drive crash (so new hard drive and install of intrepid) and everything was working fine until I updated.  There were 200+ updates and after the updates I had to restart, since then my laptop won't connect to the internet, neither wired nor wireless.
[20:43] <Sanketsu> Oops, sorry.
[20:43] <__MAV> caimlas: no. I used 2.6.18 kernel
[20:43] <caimlas> ozzilee, that's really weird. google turned up nothing I take it.
[20:43] <ikonia> __MAV: thats not an ubuntu kernel
[20:43] <LazersM> Damn, well.
[20:43] <caimlas> __MAV, used 2.6.18 for what?
[20:43] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: i don't have a Device section but InputDevice
[20:44] <LazersM> Can anyone find a DVD Kubuntu image?
[20:44] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: post your xorg.conf pls in a pastebin
[20:44] <ikonia> LazersM: no
[20:44] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: sorry i have a device section
[20:44] <hajar> how to add a subtitle to a movies in movies player .. it does not occur in subtitle list
[20:44] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: what should i add in it ?
[20:44] <ikonia> LazersM: I'd suggest buying a blank cd, or trying to burn the dvd again
[20:44] <LazersM> Gah. Ok.
[20:44] <caimlas> ozzilee, hmm. no error in dmsg, eh? how about trying to mount it at a different point within the filesystem, or with different permissions?
[20:44] <LazersM> Hm, I'll try and reburn the DVD.
[20:44] <ozzilee> caimlas: Nothing on google. Another share works fine, both to emacs and chmod. Both mount points show up as inode 2.
[20:44] <LazersM> Thanks anyway, bye!
[20:44] <__MAV> Now I have 2.6.27-11 kernel for a regular boot
[20:45] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: just add somewhere in there Option    "BackingStore" "False"
[20:45] <__MAV> and I've managed to compile 2.6.18-8-Xen kernel
[20:45] <mike_> hi
[20:45] <__MAV> 2.6.27-11 works great
[20:45] <ikonia> __MAV: why are you compiling your own kernel ? and where did you get 2.6.27-11 from ? are you using the proposed repo?
[20:45] <__MAV> 2.6.18-8-Xen fails
[20:45] <Lantay77> hello
[20:45] <caimlas> ozzilee, does ls think the mount point is a dir?
[20:45] <mike_> is it possible to download free music for free
[20:45] <gasto> how can I enable Universe and Multiverse?
[20:46] <caimlas> ozzilee, try unmounting the share and hitting it with chmod again (assuming you haven't done this)?
[20:46] <chattrz> gasto you ask God for that please kneel
[20:46] <Pici> gasto: System>Administration>Software Sources
[20:46] <chattrz> gasto honestly i dont know or
[20:46] <ozzilee> caimlas: ls thinks it is a dir, yes. Unmounted, chmod works fine.
[20:46] <chattrz> gasto /etc/apt/sources somewhere
[20:46] <chattrz> :)
[20:47] <ikonia> mike_: yes
[20:47] <mike_> any one know any legal fre music sites
[20:47] <__MAV> ikonia: The 2.6.27-11 is the kernel I've installed by regular ubuntu update
[20:47] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: i've added the line 'Option "BackingStore" false' but there is an error during the parse of xorg.conf
[20:47] <Lantay77> when will 9.04 be beta?
[20:47] <BlackHawk> mike, you really need music sites? what about internet radio?
[20:47] <ikonia> __MAV: what version of ubuntu as the latest stable I can see is -9
[20:47] <ikonia> Lantay77: when it's ready
[20:47] <mike_> onwhat is it
[20:47] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: whats the error?
[20:47] <HacKBoX_> pandora.com
[20:47] <Lantay77> any date approx?
[20:47] <__MAV> ikonia: It is Ubuntu 8.10
[20:47] <HacKBoX_> mike_ pandora.com
[20:47] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: it says that it cannot parse xorg.conf
[20:47] <mike_> o i never thought o fthata thanks
[20:47] <user_> Lantay77: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule
[20:47] <gasto> Pici, I meant by terminal command
[20:47] <ikonia> __MAV: 2.6.27-9 is the lastest stable kernel I can see
[20:47] <family> i have Xubuntu 8.10 and i have a SH file i want to run, but it keepspad opening in mouse
[20:48] <family> *mousepad
[20:48] <Lantay77> thank you
[20:48] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: false is not a valid keyword
[20:48] <ikonia> __MAV: check you don't have the proposed repo enabled
[20:48] <gasto> how do I enable Multiverse, and Universe repositories by terminal command
[20:48] <HacKBoX_> mike_ or downoad songbird and use shoutcast
[20:48] <chemokid> hi, is it possible to upgrade an ubuntu 8.04 32 bit install to a 64 bit version?
[20:48] <caimlas> __MAV, 10-1 odds you need to go back and verify that the module for your sata support is being used. lsmod to help determine which is being used on the working kernel, then go into the make menuconfig or whatever and verify said options are enabled. they like to mix up the kernel config and make things 'unconfigure' from version to version... using a newer config on an older kernel tree is certainly going to cause this problem
[20:48] <caimlas>  for you
[20:48] <ikonia> gasto: use the gui - it's easier if your not confident
[20:48] <chemokid> using just apt-get or aptitude
[20:48] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: "false" dont forget the ""
[20:48] <ikonia> chemokid: not really
[20:48] <Lantay77> what do the colors on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule mean?
[20:48] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: ok sorry
[20:48] <gasto> ikonia, I need from command line
[20:48] <caimlas> ozzilee, chmod doesn't play nice with mounted mount points on any volumes, iirc.
[20:48] <ikonia> gasto: why ?
[20:48] <ikonia> gasto: what's the issue with the gui
[20:49] <chemokid> ikonia: so the only way i can do this is by doing a complete new install?
[20:49] <ikonia> chemokid: yes
[20:49] <Lantay77> what do the colors mean? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule
[20:49] <caimlas> ozzilee, or does chmod not work properly on any of the files within the samba mount?
[20:49] <caimlas> ozzilee, sorry, just trying to help narrow dow nthe cause of the problem
[20:49] <user_> Lantay77: very easy no? if they're on track i guess
[20:49] <BlackHawk> mike_, if you're using ubuntu i'll recommend you streamripper (perhaps even together with streamtuner, which lets you choose your streams out of a database)
[20:49] <caimlas> ozzilee, was jumping down the wrong rabbit trail earlier
[20:49] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: but the login still does not work
[20:49] <boot_loop> Anyone familiar with CVS in ubuntu? I have the server installed, but I am not sure how to test it to see if it works and/or how to really use it?
[20:49] <caimlas> blobbylol, you got your ducks in a line?
[20:50] <gasto> ikonia, I have serious Nvidia driver problems, so no GUI for now
[20:50] <blobbylol> caimlas: what ?
[20:50] <ikonia> gasto: fix that then first, before doing other things
[20:50] <caimlas> blobbylol, your X problem! you got it fixed?
[20:50] <ozzilee> caimlas: I get the same message for files within the share as well: chmod: changing permissions of `test.txt': Not a directory
[20:50] <blobbylol> caimlas: ichbinesderelch: i've tried gnomen same problem
[20:50] <blobbylol> caimlas: the X problem, partially, but the login problem, no
[20:50] <Caplain> after i upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 i haven't been able to masquerade my internet connection properly, any help?
[20:50] <ikonia> gasto: or use the vesa xorg driver to get a basic gui up
[20:51] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: hhm than remove the line, or comment it out
[20:51] <mas2> I want to save a file to /etc/Firefox/Profile/Chrome/ but I cannot because root is the owener. Must I log in as root in the terminal and move my file to there or is it a graphical way of solving it?
[20:51] <Lantay77> why dosn't ubuntu include wine with default install?
[20:51] <caimlas> blobbylol, and you've looked through the X logs like I indicated?
[20:51] <blobbylol> yes caimlas
[20:51] <ikonia> Lantay77: why should it ?
[20:51] <__MAV> ikonia: When I build initrd.img via mkintramfs tool - I think it takes drivers from 2.6.18.8-xen kernel, not from 2.6.27-11
[20:51] <ikonia> Lantay77: you can get it if you want it, not everone wants it
[20:51] <caimlas> ozzilee, weird. which stock kernel version again?
[20:51] <Lantay77> it should for people who are new to ubuntu
[20:51] <blobbylol> caimlas: http://pastebin.com/f56042056 there are only these three lines after a "grep EE"
[20:51] <ikonia> Lantay77: not everyone wants it
[20:51] <Slart> mas2: I think you'll have to use the terminal at some point, yes
[20:51] <Lantay77> i have to explain so much how to get wine
[20:51] <jaapvisser> boot_loop : did u use CVS clients before if this is a new project i suggest using subversion or git which al lot of people have more knowledge on.
[20:51] <__MAV> Since drivers from Xen won't even actually load on Xen
[20:51] <Lantay77> not everyone wants open office
[20:51] <ozzilee> caimlas: With the other mount, chmod doesn't do anything, but it does not give me that error.
[20:51] <Lantay77> but thats default
[20:52] <__MAV> Since drivers NOT from Xen won't even actually load on Xen
[20:52] <ikonia> Lantay77: thats a pretty obvious "want"
[20:52] <Lantay77> i dont like it
[20:52] <ikonia> Lantay77: ok
[20:52] <boot_loop> jaapvisser: yes this is a new project. Is subversion a client or a server? Also is there a good windows client?
[20:52] <cerebrate> Lantay77: wine is easily installed... it's right there in 'add/remove'
[20:52] <caimlas> __MAV, er, no; most likely cause of the problem is the one I noted. you might be better off trying a Xen related channel, btw - this is one more geared towards desktop stuff.
[20:52] <Slart> Lantay77: I would say more people want openoffice than wine.. but I'm just guessing too.. I have no statistics for it
[20:52] <mas2> Slart: what is the command for moving one file that is located in home documents to ex /etc/firefox/abc? mv pathFileA pathFileB ?
[20:52] <Lantay77> well they include allot of stuff people dont want
[20:52] <jaapvisser> both boot_loop
[20:52] <caimlas> __MAV, and your Qs aren't specific to Ubuntu anyway
[20:52] <Slart> mas2: indeed
[20:52] <everettz> Looking for clean removal of Pulse from Intrepid, are there any good howtos?
[20:52] <Lantay77> some people use vlc instead of totum
[20:52] <Lantay77> but they include totum
[20:52] <ozzilee> caimlas: 2.6.27-9-generic
[20:52] <user_> Lantay77: the cd is indeed based on statistics..
[20:52] <Slart> mas2: put a sudo in front of that and it will run as root
[20:53] <Lantay77> where do these statistics come from?
[20:53] <ikonia> Slart: gksudo
[20:53] <jaapvisser> boot_loop: subversion has a nice windows client but did not use it ever
[20:53] <caimlas> ozzilee, what are the locations of the "other" mount point and the dysfunctional CIFS point? and is the other point a CIFS filesystem as well?
[20:53] <mas2> Slart: thanks!
[20:53] <Slart> mas2: you're welcome
[20:53] <user_> Lantay77: its a background program submitting them to ubuntu servers
[20:53] <ikonia> user_: no there isn't
[20:53] <__MAV> I wonder why Ubuntu team discountinued the support of Xen as dom0 ?
[20:53] <ikonia> user_: don't make stuff up
[20:53] <boot_loop> jaapvisser: ok cool thanks
[20:53] <Slart> Lantay77: I think it's called popularity contest or some abbreviation of that
[20:53] <Lantay77> and if its isntalled by default how do they determine if people want it or not?
[20:54] <user_> Slart: yes
[20:54] <Lantay77> how do they find who wants stuff tho
[20:54] <caimlas> ozzilee, did hte problem exist on a prior kernel version?
[20:54] <ozzilee> caimlas: Working is /mnt/foo, non-working is /mnt/bar. They are both CIFS, different Samba versions.
[20:54] <Lantay77> i didnt have any say...
[20:54] <caimlas> ozzilee, or is this the first ubuntu 8.10 kernel you'e had?
[20:54] <user_> Lantay77: popolrity contest is not installed by default
[20:54] <ozzilee> caimlas: No idea, this is a new machine.
[20:54] <Lantay77> do you vote somewhere or what?
[20:54] <caimlas> ozzilee, gotcha.
[20:54] <Lantay77> i mean open office is...
[20:54] <ikonia> Lantay77: this is a support channel, we are happy to support you with issues, but your just really talking about what you like
[20:54] <Lantay77> and totum
[20:54] <Flannel> Lantay77: The things that are installed by default aren't based on statistics
[20:54] <blobbylol> how can i change the default display manager ?
[20:54] <essial> For some reason, Transmission doesn't have a tool tray icon, is there a secondary package I need to install? I remember it having one at one point
[20:54] <TriBeCa99> apologies for the stupid question... but how do you get to a terminal from the install CD?
[20:54] <Lantay77> then why is everyone telling me they are based on statistcs?
[20:54] <ikonia> TriBeCa99: applications -> accessories
[20:55] <Flannel> Lantay77: because they're misinformed
[20:55] <essial> TriBeCa99: Applications -> Accessories -> terminal
[20:55] <stefodnb> Hi. I downloaded ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso. It will work on my 64bit Intel CPU, right?
[20:55] <Flannel> stefodnb: Yes
[20:55] <TriBeCa99> *from the install CD*
[20:55] <ikonia> stefodnb: correct
[20:55] <cerebrate> Lantay77: it's right there in the installation. There's a checkbox (unchecked by default) that asks if you want to be a part of those statistics
[20:55] <Lantay77> what determines on what is isntalled by default then?
[20:55] <stefodnb> Thanks
[20:55] <Flannel> TriBeCa99: You mean the alternate CD?
[20:55] <Slart> stefodnb: yes
[20:55] <user_> Flannel: then why in the first place do we have populairty contest?
[20:55] <TriBeCa99> yeah
[20:55] <caimlas> ozzilee, both 3.x versions of samba, though?
[20:55] <TriBeCa99> flannel: yup
[20:55] <Slart> Lantay77: probably a group somewhere that try to fit as much good stuff on a cd as possible..
[20:55] <Lantay77> Flannel what determines whats installed by default?
[20:56] <Flannel> TriBeCa99: There is no inbuilt terminal, but if you, instead of choosing the install, chose "rescue a broken system" you can get to a terminal (either 'on' your computer, or just the cd)
[20:56] <Flannel> Lantay77, user_: Lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:56] <Slart> Lantay77: but you're free to create your own distro if you disagree about this..
[20:56] <TriBeCa99> Flannel: thanks, i'll give it a shot
[20:56] <__MAV> Does anybody khows how do I view all the messages issued by the kernel at boot? Is there any feature so it will wait some seconds or wait until I press any key ?
[20:56] <Flannel> Slart: There's no reason to take that attitude.
[20:56] <Lantay77> i just want to know what determines the applications.......
[20:56] <ozzilee> caimlas: Yes, working version is 3.0.10
[20:56] <Flannel> Lantay77: Right, lets discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:56] <blobbylol> i'll try the windows way : rebooting again and again
[20:57] <ozzilee> ls
[20:57] <mas2> The terminal that comes with ubuntu 8.10 doesn't have Auto Complete let's say there is a folder in /etc/ that named Firefox I want to be able to just write Fir and then hit tab or some other button to get the fullname. Can anyone tell me of a good terminal application that can do that
[20:57] <Flannel> __MAV: dmesg | less

There were 200+ updates and after the updates I had to restart, since then my laptop won't connect to the internet, neither wired nor wireless.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[20:57] <caimlas> ozzilee, ummm what was the debian samba version, again?
[20:57] <Slart> mas2: afaik gnome-terminal does have tab autocomplete
[20:57] <Slart> mas2: it won't complete fi to Firefox though..
[20:57] <__MAV> Flannel: I need to see the messages that appear even befor the hard drive is mounted
[20:58] <mas2> Slart: because of the low letter?
[20:58] <Slart> mas2: yes

[21:01] <TriBeCa99> Flannel: I'm in 'rescue a broken system' but can't find a terminal anywhere...
[21:01] <ichbinesderelch> jado: you are blobbylol? :P

[21:01] <caimlas> or something like that
[21:01] <Flannel> TriBeCa99: There should be two choices (three, I think).  What choices do you have?
[21:02] <TriBeCa99> Flannel: it just went straight into the installation
[21:02] <mas2> if I'm in a folder in the terminal let's say /home/2mas/test/ is there any command I can write to get out the full path?
[21:02] <ozzilee> caimlas: Nice. Well, at least it's a known problem.
[21:02] <ikonia> pwd
[21:02] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: have you somehting else for me ?
[21:02] <TriBeCa99> Flannel: no idea what you mean by three choices
[21:02] <ikonia> mas2: pwd
[21:02] <gasto> whooooooooooooooooollllllyyyyy shtt
[21:02] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: thinking, you can log into gnome right?
[21:02] <mas2> ikonia: thanks
[21:02] <gasto> it booted , normally
[21:02] <gasto> I can´t believe it
[21:02] <omnydevi> lol
[21:02] <gasto> !
[21:02] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: no !
[21:02] <gasto> it booooooooooooooooooooted
[21:02] <omnydevi> grats gasto!
[21:02] <caimlas> ozzilee, from the looks of it it's been tagged w/ a high priority and has been fix-committed in intrepid-updates
[21:02] <gasto> yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
[21:02] <gasto> fck
[21:02] <FloodBot2> gasto: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:03] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: so you can just log into nothing?
[21:03] <victorbrca> mas2: do you want to get the path into your clipboard
[21:03] <caimlas> ozzilee, but I'm not familiar enough w/ the ubuntu version upgrade process to know if that means it's apt-getable yet.
[21:03] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: into the terminal :)
[21:03] <caimlas> or which package it'd be in
[21:03] <Flannel> TriBeCa99: For rescue a broken system?  Choosing "Rescu a broken system" from the boot menu starts the install?
[21:03] <Flannel> TriBeCa99: sorry, that was two separate typing sessions so it makes less sense than it ought to
[21:03] <caimlas> ozzilee, it'd be in the smbfs package, looks like.
[21:04] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: go into the terminal, do "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop", than "X :! && export DISPLAY=:1 && kdestartup"
[21:04] <TriBeCa99> Flannel: Yes it does
[21:04] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: or startkde
[21:04] <mas2> victorbrca: now I just wanted to see the path so I could use mv to move a file. Is there a command to get the path to clipboard?
[21:04] <caimlas> ozzilee, you could try to get around the problem temporarily if you want to hassle with nfs.
[21:04] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: startkde not kdestartup
[21:04] <TriBeCa99> Flannel: I managed to get to the install menu, which includes 'enter rescue mode'. when i go there, i can execute a shell, but it doesn't seem to ahve the commands i need
[21:04] <TriBeCa99> flannel: i'm looking for fdisk or cfdisk...
[21:04] <Flannel> TriBeCa99: That's not normal (well, not the behavior I experienced anyway), Has the CD passed an integrity check?
[21:05] <TriBeCa99> flannel: i guess i could run that... i JUST burned it
[21:05] <kornejo> can some one help me plz im trying to instal my web cam quickcam chat on ubuntu 8.4 but i  think the system does not recognize it when i run cheese it says that there r no cams installed
[21:05] <ozzilee> caimlas: Yeah, I might have to. It looks like there might be a workaround in the comments as well, I'll try that.
[21:05] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: i'm on irssi and i don't know how i can see previous lines of the irc, can you retype the command ?
[21:05] <TriBeCa99> flannel: and i've experienced that behavior with a totally different disk as well
[21:05] <caimlas> ozzilee, which version of smbfs is installed? dpkg -l smbfs
[21:05] <TriBeCa99> flannel: it's the 8.10 alternate amd64 disk

[21:10] <ikonia> jxwolf: what card do you have ?
[21:10] <martinosamigos> hi everyone
[21:11] <martinosamigos> can someone help me with samba on ubuntu?
[21:11] <LtL> mas2: don't use 'edit' use a terminal based editor, nano being the easiest.
[21:11] <wesley> how can i control my fans ?
[21:11] <mas2> LtL: just nano textfile.txt etc ?
[21:11] <eTiger13> anyone know how to add the lock screen feature back into 8.10
[21:11] <ikonia> wesley: they are normally controller through acpi
[21:11] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: i had a grey screen and had to reboot my computer !
[21:11] <LtL> mas2: correct, commands are displayed at the botttom of the screen.
[21:12] <jxwolf> ikonia: i have a Nvidia GeForce 9500GT
[21:12] <ikonia> jxwolf: ughh, that may be a problem, thats a bleeding edge card
[21:12] <mas2> LtL: worked fine! Thanks!
[21:12] <caimlas> martinosamigos, ask your question/state your problem thoroughly.
[21:12] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: hm... your problem definitly is kinda strange
[21:12] <jxwolf> ikonia: it seems to have found it but for some reason wont seem to download the package to install it
[21:13] <wesley> ikonia but it runs so fast it makes a lot of noise
[21:13] <simon___> NOOB needs help, program meny wont open...??
[21:13] <ikonia> jxwolf: because those drivers are not in the ubuntu release I believe
[21:13] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: any kde update or anything else? anythign you changed with kdm?
[21:13] <ikonia> jxwolf: identifying it, is one thing, but finding compatible drivers when I don't think they are packaged for ubuntu yet is a different
[21:13] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: how can i try to use gdm instead of kdm ?
[21:14] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol if gdm is installed start it with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start"
[21:14] <jxwolf> ikonia: if i go Admin > Hardware Drivers  and then it says Version 177  Recommeded and a Version 133
[21:14] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: but stop kdm before "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop"
[21:14] <ikonia> jxwolf: you can try 177 - but i don't think it supports that card
[21:14] <ozzilee> caimlas: Well, I'm off work for a week starting tomorrow, I'll see what transpires in that time. I may just upgrade the Debian servers to Lenny, the new version of Samba should fix it.
[21:15] <blobbylol> Not starting GNOME display manager (it is not the default display manager) ( ichbinesderelch )

[21:15] <Woofsie> I feel like an idiot for  asking this but.. can someone tell me how to open math in open office?
[21:15] <ozzilee> caimlas: Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it. I'm going to work on my launchpad-fu :-)
[21:15] <jxwolf> ikonia: whoa lol  ok so i decided if it doesnt work no loss so i went into the package man and found nvidia 177 glx files installed and then i went to the hardware thing and it installed and told me to restart  doing that now
[21:16] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm", it should ask you if you wanna make it the default display manager
[21:16] <jaapvisser> the Nvidia -177 drivers are for the Quadro FX cards got an update this morning
[21:16] <martinosamigos> is there an issue with samba on ubuntu?

[21:22] <AnneShirley> jaapvisser: I installed Flash & Java and I'm testing right now...
[21:23] <saLOUt> Quagmire: often programs live in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin or /opt/kde3/bin etc.
[21:23] <AnneShirley> jaapvisser: Are you using Firefox?

[21:24] <ikonia> simon___: the system menu, or the application menu
[21:25] <simon___> ikonia: the system menu works, but not the application.
[21:25] <AnneShirley> jaapvisser: Nope. JAVA & Flash didn't work. Still hanging.
[21:25] <ikonia> simon___: in what respect, as it shows nothing
[21:26] <gulp000> can i tell at everyone becausewhen install ubuntu/debian the partition manager  caN't see the partition linux existence?
[21:26] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: so, any other idea ?

[21:26] <simon___> ikonia: It shows nothing...
[21:27] <joejc> how do i increase max volume?
[21:27] <ikonia> simon___: does it drop down with nothing, or does it not drop down
[21:27] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: did you saw my xsession-errors file ?

[21:29] <zanberdo> how can I stretch the panel to include both monitors when using twinview?
[21:29] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: okay another idea, "chmod a+w /tmp" cause of the xsession error file
[21:29] <earthmeLon> zanberdo, nvidia or ati or what?
[21:29] <zanberdo> nvidia
[21:29] <earthmeLon> Open your nvidia settings, dude
[21:29] <simon___> ikonia: alt f1, the aplication change colour, no dropdown.. places and system works fine.
[21:30] <joejc> is it possible ti increase max volume?
[21:30] <jxwolf> ikonia: hey is it the same if i go to Applications > Add/Remove Programs  and then do all open source  and then search  Wine  i find   Wine Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer
[21:30] <elena39> server otrere.irc.gr
[21:30] <earthmeLon> zanberdo you should be able to use nvidia-settings or whatever and set it up
[21:30] <PoPpiLLs> ikonia, the partition manager cant see his drives
[21:30] <elena39> server otrere.irc.gr
[21:30] <gulp000> i want install ubuntu...when is time to format only one partition it don't see the partition existing..
[21:30] <ikonia> jxwolf: perfect
[21:30] <zanberdo> earthmeLon, you may misunderstand my intentions.  I have enabled twinview.  I want the gnome panels (top and bottom of screen) to stretch across both displays
[21:30] <jxwolf> ikonia: so that will work the same as going into the package man?
[21:30] <elena39> server otrere.irc.gr
[21:30] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: it seems to work :/ ununderstandbly enough
[21:31] <ikonia> jxwolf: totally
[21:31] <jxwolf> ikonia:  ok doing that now
[21:31] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: it did work or it didn't?
[21:31] <earthmeLon> zanberdo  my bad dude!!! You want to stretch it instead of making a new one?  I always preferred two separate ones so the window list panel thing would reflect the windows on that screen.  Not sure, sorry bro
[21:31] <Cadman21> Can installing Banshee media player cause brasero to not work?

There were 200+ updates and after the updates I had to restart, since then my laptop won't connect to the internet, neither wired nor wireless.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[21:32] <zanberdo> earthmeLon, no problem.  I'm coming from kde and it's a simple matter to enable a panel to stretch across multiple displays.  I'd hoped it was the same for gnome
[21:33] <mats> hello, i installed ubuntu on my laptop. version 8.10 (intrepid) kernel 2.6.27-7-generic. my sound doesn't work (only with open sound system, which doesn't work with a lot of media players) How can i make work ALSA?
[21:33] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: seems the update kinda screwed the /tmp right permissions
[21:33] <simon___> ikonia: any suggestions?
[21:34] <ikonia> simon___: not sure to be honest
[21:34] <ikonia> simon___: never seen that
[21:34] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: kde also works
[21:34] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: perfectly ;)
[21:35] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: but i really can't understand why allowing to write on tmp solves the problem !
[21:35] <simon___> LtL: alt f1, the aplication change colour, no dropdown.. places and system works fine.
[21:35] <blobbylol> ichbinesderelch: thank you very much :]
[21:35] <LtL> blobbylol: the /tmp directory should be chmod 1777 in octal format. 'stat /tmp' if not sudo chmod 1777 /tmp
[21:35] <karelm> Hi, I'm running Ubuntu in vmware fusion. Works all fine except that I can't seem to use any special characters (like ~). I have an azerty keyboard where on windows one would normally press Alt gr (== ctrl + alt if I'm right) + "=" to get the tilde. Pressing ctrl + alt (option) + "=" doesn't seem to do anything in vmware however. When I try to set a shortcut for something the alt key is recognized as such. I have selected Macbook/pro as a ke
[21:35] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: finally we solved that one ;) np
[21:35] <gulp000> i've 2 HD in the second 4 partition  fat32,ext2,ntfs.. why ubuntu cant see this partitions?
[21:36] <eseven73> mats: does 'sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop'  fix your sound at all?
[21:36] <blobbylol> LtL: ichbinesderelch: i think i now why it was not 777 anymore : the disk was full, so the computer automatically removed the right to write on /tmp
[21:36] <lorenzo_> hi, does Audacity worrk without Jack? thanks
[21:36] <LtL> simon___: thats weird, try alt+f2 then gksudo updatedb or maybe its  gksu updatedb
[21:36] <Fudge> can anyone recommend a slightly smaller ubuntu support channel for my noob questions? like smaller channel as i use text to speech and its hard to follow such a big channel
[21:36] <eseven73> LtL: 'sudo updatedb'
[21:36] <gulp000> the best distro linux for my spc? i've 900 amd, 128 ram
[21:37] <AnneShirley> jaapvisser: You there?
[21:37] <jaapvisser> yep
[21:37] <ikonia> gulp000: your very limited check out distrowatch.com
[21:37] <ichbinesderelch> blobbylol: that could be, a warning that he did that would be nice though
[21:37] <AnneShirley> Sorry. Lock up.
[21:37] <LtL> blobbylol: not just 777 it uses the sticky bit, hence chmod 1777  '1' is the sticky bit
[21:37] <AnneShirley> Let's go back to the IM.
[21:37] <jaapvisser> ok
[21:37] <gulp000> thanks ikonia
[21:37] <blobbylol> LtL: the sticky bit ? to say that it is a directory ?
[21:38] <LtL> eseven73: will sudo run from the alt+f2 menu? im a terminal freak, rarely use gksu or otherwise.
[21:38] <jim_p_> how can i set apt-pinning in synaptic?
[21:38] <blobbylol> LtL: no sorry i've just read the man

[21:39] <DonkeyKong> hey everyone I have an acer 6930 and my webcam works with aMSN and also Ekiga but wont work with camerama or cheese any ideas how to solve?\
[21:39] <jesh> karelm: xmodmap ja xev might be your friends
[21:39] <eseven73> LtL: i dont usually use ALT+F2 but i wouldnt think it would be 'gksu' since you can type in commands
[21:39] <LtL> blobbylol: the /tmp directory uses/needs the sticky bit. sudo chmod 1777 /tmp. and never mess with /tmp without a good reason.
[21:39] <mats> eseven73: No, i don't got a error ... but the sound still doesn't work ... i only got a kind of crunching
[21:39] <simon___> LtL: Did not do anything.
[21:40] <jim_p_> bastid_raZor, thanks. i was almost certain that "Lock version" is what i was looking for
[21:40] <mats> an error
[21:40] <blobbylol> LtL: i won't mess with it anymore
[21:40] <flexd> hrm.. is there a quick way of resizing my current partition?
[21:40] <blobbylol> thanks a lot i have to go
[21:40] <flexd> I want to resize the partition ubuntu is on to about 50% of it's size.
[21:40] <karelm> jesh: you mean remap some keys? Well, I would think so too, except that when I go into the shortcuts prefpane and I press for example alt + y, it shows up as "alt + y", so it seems to be correctly recognized...
[21:40] <bastid_raZor> jim_p_; the communty documentation is a wealth of knowledge.
[21:40] <_THEGOD> hi ubuntu guys
[21:40] <jim_p_> lol
[21:40] <Slart> flexd: not sure if there is a quicker way than using gparted..
[21:41] <DonkeyKong> hey everyone I have an acer 6930 and my webcam works with aMSN and also Ekiga but wont work with camerama or cheese any ideas how to solve?\
[21:41] <_THEGOD> do anyone knows where can i find kubuntu livecd ?
[21:41] <ikonia> _THEGOD: ubuntu.com
[21:41] <eseven73> mats ok then its probably not a pulseaudio issue.... I'm not really a sound person , but that's usually the first thing to test for
[21:41] <_THEGOD> kubuntu live 10.8 or 8.10
[21:41] <flexd> Slart, right.
[21:41] <ikonia> _THEGOD: ubuntu.com
[21:41] <_THEGOD> i cant see a livecd link on kubuntu .com

[21:41] <jxwolf> ikonia: while i wait for all my updates  i installed wine btw  im just waiting for one other thing  but  im looking for a itunes replacement with like online radio stations  whats best one in your opinion?
[21:42] <flexd> Slart, my problem being: It's the active HDD i run ubuntu off.
[21:42] <flexd> Can i even resize that?
[21:42] <LtL> simon___: click system - preferences - main menu, check everything
[21:42] <Slart> flexd: you can resize it if you boot from a live cd
[21:42] <flexd> kk
[21:42] <bastid_raZor> jxwolf; for gnome rhythmbox does well.
[21:42] <flexd> i'll go do that then
[21:42] <ikonia> _THEGOD: http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download
[21:43] <ikonia> jxwolf: sorry, I actually don't use itunes replacments so I wouldn't know, there are a very options
[21:43] <jxwolf> bastid_raZor: im running ubuntu 8.10  will that work for it?
[21:43] <simon___> LtL: "main menu" wont open. All other open.
[21:43] <Sanketsu> laptop with a fresh install of intrepid on it due to a hard drive crash (so new hard drive and install of intrepid) and everything was working fine until I updated.  There were 200+ updates and after the updates I had to restart, since then my laptop won't connect to the internet, neither wired nor wireless.  Any idea where I should look to fix this?
[21:43] <jxwolf> ikonia: ok ill get back to you once my updates are done  if wine doesnt run the program :)  you have been very helpful
[21:43] <bastid_raZor> jxwolf; it is the default mp3 player and with a few activated plugins it should do the job
[21:43] <ikonia> jxwolf: no problem, happy to help
[21:44] <LtL> simon___: thats a clue, but i'm perplexed....
[21:44] <_JSC415> hi ?
[21:44] <jxwolf> bastid_raZor: ok lemme look for it
[21:44] <MartinN00b> bad-w-lan
[21:45] <LtL> simon___: is this a fresh install? have you tried re-starting x-windows?
[21:46] <simon___> LtL: not fresh. working fine for months. Rebooted only.
[21:46] <jxwolf> bastid_raZor: this is gonna be dumb but i listen to like 1.fm  any way to get that into that music player your talkign about i have it open
[21:46] <jesh> karelm: yes, i meant remapping and adjusting shifting keys (i once had broken alt gr because it was mapped for some odd reason to mod1, remove fixed it)
[21:47] <mats> i found some links at google about people who wrote that their  ALC883 (it's also my sound card) doesn't work with ubuntu. Is it probably possible to make this sound-card work under ubuntu???
[21:48] <bastid_raZor> jxwolf; enalble last.fm in plugins and configure it
[21:48] <karelm> jesh: and what should I remap "ALT" to? It already shows as "ALT" in keyboard shortcuts, just doesn't work for characters...
[21:49] <jim_p_> mats, your card is supported 110% by alsa, so if you still dont have sound... remove pulseaudio. there is no reason to go to special module loading parameters
[21:49] <bastid_raZor> jxwolf; i've never used it to listen to radio via internet but it has the ability.. you can also add stations by ctrl+L

[22:01] <mats> jim_p_: do you have an idea?
[22:01] <groundup> If I start removing packages with KDE in them from using synaptic, are there any issues I should be worried about?
[22:01] <OriWB> jimp: whats ati?
[22:01] <mats> danielle: ...?
[22:01] <mats> danielle: try vlc
[22:01] <mats> to play the dvd

[22:01] <OriWB> jim_p: whats ati?
[22:02] <jim_p> OriWB, lspci | grep VGA
[22:02] <kbrosnan> NotSure: might be on a differnt desktop
[22:02] <jim_p> K350, the monitor?
[22:02] <K350> jim_p: jim_p Yes the monitor
[22:02] <danielle> oops, sorry mats I forgot to add your name to what I wrote: libnavcss2 is installed I have tried vlc it looks like it will work but then the player just minimizes and nothing happens
[22:02] <OriWB> jim_p: sorry, I'm new to ubuntu, it doesn't mean anything to me
[22:03] <NotSure> kbrosnan  I dont think so...
[22:03] <remur_bln> howdy, is there a place to see the patches ubuntu applies to packages?
[22:03] <jim_p> K350, linux can sense the absence of a monitor and not start xorg. its a feature
[22:03] <FernandoF> byer all
[22:03] <FernandoF> bye all
[22:03] <jim_p> K350, saves on resources you know
[22:03] <jim_p> bye
[22:04] <jxwolf> ikonia: so wine seems to come with IE in it so i right clicked the exe and hit run with wine loader  and i get a blank window  so im guessing it didnt work lol
[22:04] <K350> jim_p: ah, uh well I don't run x
[22:04] <OriWB> jim_p: how can I check if I am on ati or not?
[22:04] <BoomShaka> can someone tell me how i can check what window decorator I am using?
[22:04] <jim_p> K350, then what do you expect to start?
[22:05] <mats> danielle: give me your email adress; i offer you two packages
[22:05] <jim_p> OriWB, paste the output of the command i said earier
[22:05] <K350> jim_p: text mode only?
[22:05] <jesh> OriWB: you need to open console and paste the command given by jim to that console
[22:05] <OriWB> ok
[22:05] <Aison> hello, when I install some dev packets with sudo apt-get build-dep vlc
[22:05] <Aison> why are they removed with apt-get autoremove?
[22:05] <OriWB> jim_p: it says 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[22:06] <remur_bln> nevermind, found it
[22:06] <AnneShirley> Um, do you all know the little "Connect" button?
[22:06] <jim_p> K350, and it does not start without a monitor connected?! that is weird. can you do something like ssh to the server?
[22:06] <AnneShirley> On the menu bar?
[22:06] <jim_p> Aison, because that is what autoremove does
[22:07] <jxwolf> ok ikonia seems to be away  :)   can anyone help me with getting wine to work ?
[22:07] <AnneShirley> I accidently removed it. How do I get it back?
[22:07] <ubuntu_> guten abend an alle
[22:07] <Aison> jim_p, well, but when I install packets with apt-get install, those arent autoremoved
[22:07] <AnneShirley> Does anyone know how to do that?
[22:08] <OriWB> jim_p: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[22:08] <K350> jim_p: I actually don't know if it's the monitor. But when I start it with the monitor everyting works fine (including SSH) But when I disconnected the montor i tdoesn't seems to start. At least no servers start and I can't ping the machine.
[22:08] <thatguy> so sometimes my sound will mess up and i will have to kill pulseaudio and restart it.  any help?
[22:08] <jim_p> OriWB, you are on some intel onboard gpu, possibly g45. good luck. i have no idea about intels
[22:09] <AnneShirley> Excuse me?
[22:09] <groundup> Well, I guess I'll find out what happens when I uninstall everything with KDE in it...
[22:09] <OriWB> jim_p: what question should I be asking now?
[22:09] <oCean__> AnneShirley, not sure which connect button, but generally you should be able to add options to the panel by right-clicking on the 'menu-bar'
[22:10] <oCean__> AnneShirley, and choose 'add to panel'
[22:10] <AnneShirley> oCean__: I know, but that ones not in the menu!
[22:10] <AnneShirley> In this list of buttons.
[22:10] <mats> guten abend ubuntu_, du hast nicht zufällig ne idee, wie ich meinen alc 883 soundchip ans laufen kriege? ich habe im netz schon gelesen, dass das schwierig sein soll ...
[22:10] <jesh> OriWB: hate to ask the obvious, but i guess you have tried pressing fn-key with whatever f-key with a display icon on it?
[22:10] <oCean__> AnneShirley, which connect button? Connect to...?
[22:11] <AnneShirley> Connect to like, Wireless network.
[22:11] <OriWB> jesh: lol, yeah, i have.
[22:11] <AnneShirley> Or Ethernet.
[22:11] <jesh> OriWB: okay.. too bad :|
[22:12] <jim_p> OriWB, "how do i configure xorg with intel drivers to use dual monitor?" replace dual monitor with whatever sounds better to you
[22:12] <OriWB> jim_p: thanx alot
[22:12] <carmelo> salve a tutti

[22:12] <AnneShirley> I'll be back...

[22:13] <OriWB> Does someone know how i configure xorg with intel drivers to use a dual monitor?
[22:13] <thatguy> can anyone help me please?
[22:14] <victorbrca> joma: you need to first find the card that you have... and the look for the drivers

[22:15] <mats> 8.10
[22:15] <mats> (tortise)
[22:16] <jesh> OriWB: you could try writing 'xrandr' to that console and have a look if it says anything about what's connected to the computer (or what it's able to see)
[22:17] <OriWB> Jesh: I was just about to try urandr... is xrandr better?
[22:17] <mats> torsie: was wolltest du damit sagen ... ?

[22:23] <solid_liq> !ping
[22:23] <anparks> the problem first started happening after doing a grub-install and booting into one of the new kernels that intrepid installed on upgrade
[22:23] <solid_liq> hmm, 8 second lag
[22:24] <anparks> so now im on my laptop
[22:24] <ivantis2> okay my computer running ubuntu (Dell something) is really screwed up
[22:24] <ivantis2> eclipse does not work at all
[22:24] <anparks> whats the problem
[22:24] <anparks> eclipse doesnt work and you say ubuntu is screwed up?
[22:25] <ivantis2> both
[22:25] <ivantis2> my computer is really really slow
[22:25] <bbrooks> hello, I dual boot with Vista and Ubuntu..I have Vista on my first part, and Ubuntu on my 2nd.  had issue with VIsta and had to rebuild, how can I fix the bootload to point back to grub?
[22:25] <anparks> ah
[22:25] <anparks> your problem is java
[22:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[22:25] <foo> Hm, I upgraded ubuntu to 8.10 from 8.04... and lftp broke. I get this error: lftp: error while loading shared libraries: libgnutls.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - any ideas?
[22:25] <ivantis2> my problem is java?
[22:25] <anparks> yes
[22:26] <anparks> wait so what is the problem with eclipse tho
[22:26] <Jack_Sparrow> foo, Usually an upgrade will only break when a user has installed things manually.. Yes, even if they worked before the upgrade.. Could that be the case here
[22:26] <Milos_SD> How can I remove one package without pulling other packages that depend on that package? :)
[22:26] <Asclepius> Hey all
[22:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Milos_SD, Are you trying to pull part of a metapackage?
[22:27] <mats> wie kann man es nur verbieten, wenn hier andere leute auch meine sprache sprechen ... mit den anderen spreche ich ja auch auf englisch
[22:27] <mats> tortise: May you can help me?
[22:27] <Milos_SD> Jack_Sparrow, I want to delete libgphoto2 package, but it pulls a lot of other packages with it...
[22:27] <Asclepius> mats: Nieman weiss deutsch
[22:28] <anparks> nevermind i fixed my problem by getting otu of that terrible kernel
[22:28] <anparks> ivantis: what is the problem with eclipse
[22:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !metapackage
[22:28] <anparks> ai have much experience with eclipse under ubuntu
[22:29] <Milos_SD> Jack_Sparrow, libgphoto2 is not a metapackage... ;)
[22:29] <Asclepius> Problem: I have a single harddrive that must be shared out to a computer and go to the TV any solutions?
[22:29] <mats> Asclepius: sorry, i did not understand ...
[22:29] <BoomShaka> where can i get additional themes to install in System > Preferences > Appearance > Themes ?
[22:29] <billybigrigger> hey all
[22:29] <Jack_Sparrow> mats, thank you
[22:30] <Asclepius> die Problem oder mein Deutsch?
[22:30] <billybigrigger> is anyone aware of a voice chat program besides skype that i can voice chat with someone between linux and windows?
[22:30] <AnneShirley> Ok, can someone help me get my network connections button back?
[22:30] <anparks> so yes are you using gnome? eclipse has had trouble starting for me in other window managers
[22:30] <Slart> billybigrigger: ekiga is available for both windows and linux afaik
[22:31] <Slart> billybigrigger: I guess teamspeak might work too
[22:31] <anparks> such as xmonad and ion
[22:31] <oCean__> AnneShirley, it might be the 'notification area' in the dropdown list
[22:31] <foo> Jack_Sparrow: hm, actually, I wonder if I did install that from source. You know, I think I did. I'll reinstall... I totally forgot, that may fix it
[22:31] <foo> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks
[22:31] <Jack_Sparrow> foo, np
[22:31] <AnneShirley> oCean: It was. Thank you SO much!
[22:31] <lifewithryan_gho> @billybigrigger try googling Gizmo5
[22:31] <SmokeyD> hey people. I am building my own debian package. When I compile the package from source, configure and make run fine. When I run "debian/rules build" though (after running dh_make), make fails with "undefined reference to... in function....)
[22:31] <Slart> Asclepius: I would use nfs if I could choose freely.. this is not always an option, depending on what that other computer can do
[22:31] <kestutis> Hello
[22:31] <oCean__> Andril, sure :)
[22:31] <Jack_Sparrow> !packaging
[22:31] <oCean__> AnneShirley, sure :)
[22:32] <Slart> SmokeyD: this is #ubuntu.. for ubuntu support.. have you tried #Debian?
[22:32] <Asclepius> thanks Slart. The probelm is that im connecting it to this new Western Digital media thing. It can read a hardrive and play .ISO's through hdmi, but i would also like to play the .ISOs on the computer in my bedroom
[22:33] <SmokeyD> Slart: no, but I am building for Ubuntu so thought to ask here. But Jack_Sparrow already gave me a guide which I didn't find through google
[22:33] <SmokeyD> thanks
[22:33] <billybigrigger> Slart: thanks
[22:33] <billybigrigger> lifewithryan_gho: thanks
[22:33] <Jack_Sparrow> SmokeyD, np
[22:33] <Genuis27> hi everybody
[22:33] <foo> Jack_Sparrow: Now that I upgraded, I have the latest version, so I deleted source version and installed via apt and now I'm all set. Thanks :)
[22:33] <Slart> SmokeyD: but... you said you were building a debian package?
[22:33] <lifewithryan_gho> np...i like it alot
[22:33] <Jack_Sparrow> foo, glad you got it..
[22:33] <SmokeyD> Slart: a deb package for ubuntu
[22:33] <SmokeyD> deb refers to debian, so hence the word
[22:33] <Asclepius> I was wondering if there was some kind router that has a passthrough so i can go from harddrive--> router-->usb out to TV and wirelessly to ubuntu computer
[22:34] <Ward1983> jrib, are you still around?
[22:34] <Slart> SmokeyD: ah.. gotcha
[22:34] <solid_liq> !ping
[22:35] <Slart> Asclepius: it would be entirely up to that Western Digital media thing.. perhaps it can connect to a samba share.. (normal windows filesharing)
[22:36] <Asclepius> Im pretty sure the only connections the western digital thing has is 2 usb's in. Its a pretty cool thing http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8993217&st=western+digital&type=product&id=1218008588808
[22:37] <Asclepius> I am trying to save myself from having to buy a whole other drive for me to be able to watch whats on my harddrive on the bedroom computer
[22:38] <Ward1983> Asclepius, are they networked?
[22:38] <Slart> Asclepius: hmm.. that sounds... complicated... don't think I've seen usb over ethernet like that..
[22:39] <Asclepius> No they arnt networked. The western digital thing isnt really a computer but rather a hard drive reader. Thats the problem. I was hoping i could run the hard drive to a router through usb and then have like a usb passthrough to go to the wester digital box. That way i could wirelessly read the hard drive while still having the physical connection to the box
[22:40] <Ward1983> Asclepius, well you're either gonna need cables from both to a harddrive, so you might aswell network them lol
[22:40] <Logomachist> Much thanks to the guys who recommended running fixmbr. My Windows is now working again.
[22:40] <Ward1983> btw USB length is limited
[22:41] <Logomachist> But Grub still doesn't take over at boot.
[22:41] <Sanketsu> laptop with a fresh install of intrepid on it due to a hard drive crash (so new hard drive and install of intrepid) and everything was working fine until I updated.  There were 200+ updates and after the updates I had to restart, since then my laptop won't connect to the internet, neither wired nor wireless.  Any idea where I should look to fix this?
[22:41] <Asclepius> what i have read and previously known is that you cant connect two computers the same hardrive through usb
[22:41] <Ward1983> Logomachist, windows xp or vista?
[22:41] <Logomachist> XP.
[22:41] <Asclepius> and be using them at the same time
[22:41] <Ward1983> Asclepius, yes so jsut use a crosscable
[22:41] <Logomachist> I have Ubuntu and XP on the same drive.
[22:41] <Ward1983> Asclepius, and network the computers
[22:41] <Asclepius> i cant share out the western digital box
[22:42] <Asclepius> http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8993217&st=western+digital&type=product&id=1218008588808
[22:42] <Ward1983> Logomachist, sorry dunno for xp, but for vista you can add grub in its bootloader and that works fine, i had to do that once
[22:42] <Asclepius> there it is, its just kinda a hard drive reader
[22:42] <victorbrca> Asclepius: or you can get a router/ap with usb support.
[22:42] <victorbrca> Asclepius: kinda overdoing it thou
[22:42] <Asclepius> what would be an easier way than that
[22:43] <Asclepius> im trying to avoid just buying another harddrive
[22:44] <helene> bonsoir
[22:44] <victorbrca> Dear Ms. Marion,
[22:44] <victorbrca>   
[22:44] <victorbrca> Lately Luana has been complaining to me that she is having problems with one of her class colleagues. It.s coming to the point where she does not want to go to school so she can avoid the other kid (her name is Cassandra).
[22:44] <victorbrca> Luana usually keeps things in and doesn.t stand up for herself, which makes it even worse.
[22:44] <victorbrca> I have asked her to stop talking to Cassandra, but that did not resolve the problem. By what Luana has told me it doesn.t look like she means harm. It seems more that she.s trying to get Luana.s attention, but she.s trying too hard.
[22:44] <FloodBot2> victorbrca: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:45] <Asclepius> Thanks for all the help guys (and gals)
[22:48] <Dexi> ugh
[22:48] <helene> j'ai finalement pu configurer ma carte nvidia, mais j'ai encore un probleme a l'écran de login, qui n'apparait pas, mon écran se met en stand by, et puis je sais me logger quand meme, mais si je fait ctrl+alt+F1 et puis que je retourne en F7 ca finit par apparaitre,  j'ai configuré les plages de fréquence de mon écran dans xorg
[22:48] <Dexi> sound in linux is just... UGH
[22:48] <jxwolf> ikonia: you around?

[22:50] <csana> hi guys!

[22:50] <ikonia> Cayal: summerise your problem
[22:50] <TriBeCa99> hey guys, i'm in a terminal and man isn't fully operational... can someone tell me how to get mdadm to give me the status of all my multi-disk partitions?
[22:51] <csana> I don't know where else to ask but is there by any chance an irc channel where people help with networking?
[22:51] <mib_adzv15y4> i need help on this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1033616
[22:51] <ikonia> TriBeCa99: mdadm --manage $device --status
[22:51] <Cayal> No compiz, tells me software rasterizing is enabled (it isn't). Reinstalling intel drivers did nothing.
[22:51] <alexis> i'm looking for a knemo like for gnome (a bradwidth monitor applet). It exist?
[22:51] <ikonia> TriBeCa99: why happens when you man madadm
[22:51] <ikonia> TriBeCa99: why happens when you man mdadm
[22:51] <gardier> ﻿csana its best just to ask and if someone knows they will answer
[22:51] <mib_adzv15y4> tried uninstalling profiles or put in complaint mode, did not help
[22:52] <csana> is there by any chance an irc channel where people help with networking?
[22:52] <Jack_Sparrow> mib_adzv15y4, Please include a description of the problem when pasting a link
[22:52] <ikonia> csana: look at the channel list on freenodes website
[22:52] <Jack_Sparrow> csana, #networking...  and please stop repeating
[22:52] <eseven73> I keep getting Orbit errors when trying to open a program http://paste.ubuntu.com/101910/

[22:53] <ikonia> TriBeCa99: what happens when you do man mdadm
[22:53] <Cayal> So, should I reinstall Ubuntu to get compiz working?
[22:53] <TriBeCa99> pg up and pg dwn no worky
[22:53] <ikonia> TriBeCa99: the options are on the first man page
[22:53] <mib_adzv15y4> tried uninstall of all apparmor profile or put in complaint mode did not help
[22:53] <gardier> ﻿csana people here would know some about aspects of Ubuntu networking and maybe linux. As ﻿dr_willis says it's abroad subject
[22:54] <ikonia> TriBeCa99: you press space to go down
[22:54] <Cayal> Is there a way to backup my applications, themes, settings, and such?
[22:54] <Jack_Sparrow> !backup
[22:55] <Cayal> !cloning
[22:55] <eseven73> Cayal: I use rsync to backup my ~/home  (if you want the gui for that download grsync) or maybe unison-gtk
[22:55] <Quagmire> I'm so frustrated guys ...I'm trying to find a program and it go moved, but I can;t seem to find it ...I can run it, I can uninstall it, but as soon as I reinstall it doesn't show up in /home/username/ ...could someone give me a little guidance? I would surely appreciate it.
[22:55] <kyleR> i have an error at startup that says bootmgr is missing, will a program called gparted help fix this?
[22:56] <Quagmire> it got moved
[22:56] <Cayal> Yeah, but I also want my apps and settings for those apps.
[22:56] <Slart> Cayal: did you try that compiz-check script?
[22:56] <Cayal> Yep, Slart.
[22:56] <Slart> Cayal: it didn't offer to fix the software rendering thing?
[22:56] <eseven73> Cayal: backing up your /home will save all your settings
[22:56] <Cayal> It told me software rasterizing was enabled, but it isn't.
[22:56] <Cayal> Oh, yeah. Hidden files. :P
[22:56] <eseven73> yep usually hidden
[22:56] <Cayal> What exists in the /usr folder? Anyhing of interest?
[22:56] <eseven73> :)
[22:57] <eseven73> /usr/share maybe
[22:57] <Slart> Cayal: hmm.. how did you come to the conclusion that software rendering wasn't enabled?
[22:57] <eseven73> but most things go in your /home
[22:57] <Cayal>  Error: Software Rasterizer in use
[22:58] <Cayal> That's the bottom line of the compiz-check output.
[22:58] <Cayal> I checked my Xorg.conf.
[22:58] <Slart> Cayal: did you run it with sudo?
[22:58] <Cayal> There was no "Virtual" section or anythign else that looked like that.
[22:58] <eseven73> anyways i got a issue of my own.... http://paste.ubuntu.com/101910/   could someone please look into that
[22:58] <Cayal>  Do not run this script as root, because it might distort its outcome.
[22:58] <Cayal>  Aborting.
[22:59] <victorbrca> I'm sorry for my last message. I right cliked by mistake on my putty session and it pasted all my clipboard here.
[22:59] <Slart> Cayal: hmm.. odd.. I had the same problem once.. I ran the script and afaik it said the same thing it did for you.. but then it asked if it should fix that.. I answered yes and then everything started working again
[22:59] <eseven73> oh man no ones answering me, that cant be a good sign, I hope i dont have to reinstall :(((
[22:59] <Cayal> Hmm...
[23:00] <VDarthusV> Hello
[23:00] <Cayal> I wish. Did you have horrible Intel integrated graphics?
[23:00] <eseven73> I think i royally fried my system lol
[23:00] <Cayal> With no drivers because Intel decides to be evil to linux users? ;_;
[23:00] <Slart> Cayal: I can't remember if this was on my laptop.. if it was then yes, it's an intel on board graphics card
[23:00] <Itaku> whats the Full path to sshd program for openssh-server?
[23:00] <zigzag> wonder if remastersys works with the mini.iso
[23:01] <lstarnes> Itaku: run which sshd
[23:01] <lstarnes> eseven73: it looks like a simple permissions error on that directory
[23:01] <LtL> Itaku: /usr/sbin/sshd
[23:01] <zigzag> anyone know?
[23:01] <VDarthusV> May I ask for a bit of assistance please?
[23:01] <eseven73> lstarnes: cant be, im running it as root
[23:01]  * zigzag bleeds on the floor
[23:01] <Itaku> LtL, its not there
[23:01] <lstarnes> eseven73: even root isn't fully immune to file permissions
[23:01] <exodus_MS> !ask > VDarthusV
[23:02] <eseven73> i know but its even simple things liek starting firefox lstarnes
[23:02] <Itaku> LtL, bash: /usr/sbin/sshd: No such file or directory
[23:02] <eseven73> like*
[23:02] <jxwolf> ikonia: you get the pm btw ?
[23:02] <lstarnes> eseven73: what error do you get with starting firefox?
[23:02] <Itaku> oh wow nevermind im smart
[23:02] <raylu> Itaku: run "which sshd". also, if you want to restart it, you want
[23:02] <eseven73> lstarnes: stuff i run all the time, the usual, firefox, irssi, nano, thunar :(
[23:02] <raylu> Itaku: sudo invoke-rc.d sshd start
[23:02] <ikonia> jxwolf: yes, I suggest you ask in #winehq
[23:03] <ikonia> jxwolf: always better to ask in a channel rather than a pm
[23:03] <Itaku> nevermind
[23:03] <eseven73> lstarnes: it just complaines that i need TCP for Orbit
[23:03] <Itaku> i forgot to install it i guess -.-
[23:03] <alkhairi> majed999
[23:03] <jxwolf> ikonia: sorry i know but i had to leave and if you answered my msg id never see it
[23:03] <VDarthusV> I've been having trouble getting Ndiswrapper to get my drivers of a Netgear W111 card to successfully work.  The last time I installed Linux Ubuntu I was able to get NdisWrapper to work without too much fight but this time I can't figure whats wrong
[23:03] <eseven73> Ive never even heard of Orbit
[23:03] <Itaku> whats /usr/share/apport/apport-qt? its just randomly asking for my password
[23:04] <ikonia> jxwolf: always better to ask in a channel rather than a pm
[23:04] <imout> anyone know how i can get wlassistant for 8.10 ? did it move to an unsupported or non-free apt source or whatever ?
[23:04] <VDarthusV> I think the problem is with blacklisting other drivers
[23:04] <ikonia> jxwolf: yes, I suggest you ask in #winehq
[23:04] <raylu> VDarthusV: we'll need more information than that
[23:04] <VDarthusV> okay
[23:04] <raylu> imout: this isn't debian :P non-free is in multiverse
[23:05] <imout> raylu so any idea why its not in apt sources it was in 8.4 ?
[23:06] <K350> How do one change motd?
[23:06] <Slart> Cayal: some forum threads recommend running this command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[23:06] <ikonia> K350: /etc/motd
[23:06] <meekatron> how do i find out what dns server my machine is using
[23:06] <kyleR> i have an error at startup that says bootmgr is missing, will a program called gparted help fix this?
[23:06] <ikonia> meekatron: /etc/resolv.conf
[23:06] <Slart> meekatron: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[23:06] <Cayal> OK, Slart, I'll try and hope for the best.
[23:06] <ikonia> K350: no
[23:06] <ikonia> K350: oops
[23:06] <ikonia> kyleR: no
[23:06] <meekatron> Slart: thanks
[23:07] <raylu> imout: no idea
[23:07] <imout> ok raylu thanks
[23:07] <lstarnes> eseven73: what's the output of "stat /tmp" and "stat /tmp/orbit-root" ?
[23:07] <raylu> imout: i suppose it's been replaced by nm-applet
[23:07] <eseven73> 15:07 < lstarnes> eseven73: what's the output of "stat /tmp" and "stat /tmp/orbit-root" ?
[23:07] <eseven73> oops sorry
[23:08] <Cayal> "	xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20090107180718	"
[23:08] <raylu> imout: Deleted in intrepid-release (Reason: needs KDE 3, bug 283543)
[23:08] <Cayal> Did it work, or?
[23:08] <eseven73> one sec lstarnes
[23:08] <imout> that's a bummer wlassistant was excellent and very easy to use
[23:08] <lstarnes> eseven73: wait, I think I might have another idea.  Do you use any NFS shares?
[23:08] <VDarthusV> Ubuntu sees the USB Netgear w111 card however it can't really connect to it ie it says it connects but doesn't, and then drops the connection.  I got Ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper and the graphical interface for them installed,   Then I got the inf file from the cd, however it still does not connect, although when I remove the USB dongle and put it back it flashes blue light for a few seconds like its working then stops.
[23:08]  * tyta_linux is so thankful for the helpful folks in #ubuntu!  =)
[23:08] <eseven73> lstarnes: nope
[23:08] <raylu> imout: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kblogger/+bug/283543
[23:09] <ogahyellow> hello, I was on before trying to get help with a partition lost when I lost power using GParted. I was advised to install and use testdisk, which found 2 partitions, but I do not know how to continue
[23:09] <lstarnes> eseven73: what's the output of "ps aux | grep gconfd | grep -v grep"?
[23:09] <Cayal> Still no luck. I guess reinstall is the only option.
[23:09] <Slart> Cayal: you might have to restart X.. you can either just reboot.. or do Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[23:10] <Slart> Cayal: that will kill all your running apps..
[23:10] <imout> god it never dawned on me to look at bugs, thanks raylu :D
[23:10] <Slart> Cayal: at least the ones running in x
[23:10] <Ward1983> VDarthusV, istn that an atheros based card? (if yes ndiswrappen is not needed)
[23:10] <Cayal> OK.
[23:10] <raylu> imout: i didn't; i went to the package's launchpad page
[23:10] <Ward1983> ndiswrapper
[23:10] <Quagmire> guys is there a channel that deals with questions on terminal commands?
[23:10] <Ward1983> Quagmire, right here?
[23:10] <eseven73> lstarnes: nothing on that last command, but heres the first command you asked me to run: http://paste.ubuntu.com/101922/
[23:10] <Slart> Quagmire: there's #bash.. but it can be pretty sleep.. why not ask here
[23:11] <imout> i see
[23:11] <Slart> *sleepy
[23:11] <VDarthusV> I'm not sure...  it is Netgear w111 USB dongle
[23:11] <lstarnes> eseven73: I think the issue might be due to gconfd not running
[23:11] <raylu> VDarthusV: w...g111?
[23:11] <eseven73> lstarnes: hmm i didnt remove it how can i restart it?
[23:12] <VDarthusV> raylu: what do you mean?
[23:12] <raylu> VDarthusV: there's a netgear wg111, but no w111
[23:12] <VDarthusV> ah
[23:12] <Cayal> Slart, thank you very much.
[23:12] <VDarthusV> my bad
[23:12] <eddVRS> /pa/
[23:12] <Slart> Cayal: it works?
[23:12] <Cayal> Yep.
[23:12] <Cayal> :D
[23:12] <VDarthusV> yes that
[23:12] <Slart> Cayal: yay!
[23:13] <mosfet> Hi I have a ubuntu 8.04 and I need to download gcc and its dependencies and install it in a specific folder how can I do that ?
[23:13] <mosfet> I already have gcc installed
[23:13] <Sanketsu> laptop with a fresh install of intrepid on it due to a hard drive crash (so new hard drive and install of intrepid) and everything was working fine until I updated.  There were 200+ updates and after the updates I had to restart, since then my laptop won't connect to the internet, neither wired nor wireless.  Any idea where I should look to fix this?
[23:13] <Cayal> If only IRC had a thanking system.
[23:13] <Gletob> mosfet: sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[23:13] <imout> mosfet you'd be better getting the build-essential package
[23:13] <lstarnes> eseven73: are you currently using gnome?
[23:13] <ogahyellow> hello, sorry to repeat. Can someone help me to recover a partition using testdisk?
[23:13] <billybigrigger> cant get audio working in skype x64
[23:14] <VDarthusV> The NetGear wg111 USB
[23:14] <Gletob> mosfet: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[23:14] <eseven73> lstarnes: nope but that's never been an issue before
[23:14] <billybigrigger> program installed fine, i changed my audio to pulse, and i can hear the tones and everything but i cant get my built-in mic working
[23:14] <eseven73> lstarnes: currently im using Icewm but i have Gnome and kde installed as well
[23:14] <raylu> VDarthusV: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/p54/devices
[23:14] <billybigrigger> does skype need to use pulse for mic too?
[23:14] <eseven73> usually i have no issues
[23:14] <VDarthusV> I got it to work before on my last computer using ndiswrapper
[23:14] <mosfet> hum I ALREADY HAVE A GCC installed
[23:15] <mosfet> and build -essentials too
[23:15] <Ward1983> VDarthusV, "Note: Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft supports the WG111v2 (rtl8187 chipset) with a native driver straight out of the box."
[23:15] <eseven73> build-essential
[23:15] <Slart> billybigrigger: I don't think skype uses pulse at all
[23:15] <mosfet> I need to install a second instance of gcc
[23:15] <Ward1983> VDarthusV, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/NetgearWG111
[23:15] <Quagmire> ok then ...I'm trying to find a program ...I moved it but do not remember where ...now I can;t find the folder. I have searched in Nautilus in the home folder, but it doesn;t show up
[23:15] <VDarthusV> mime is version one I believe
[23:15] <VDarthusV> mine*
[23:15] <mosfet> in /opt/gcc for instance
[23:15] <Ward1983> VDarthusV, was your last computer installed before 2006? :p
[23:16] <Gletob> imout: he wants it in a seperate folder.  Can that be done?
[23:16] <VDarthusV> yes
[23:16] <raylu> VDarthusV: seems outdated, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/NetgearWG111
[23:16] <VDarthusV> This is my new computer though
[23:16] <Ward1983> VDarthusV, back then the driver didnt exist yet, now there is a driver
[23:16] <VDarthusV> I still want to use this netgear usb dongle to save money
[23:16] <lstarnes> eseven73: do you also get that error about gconf when using nano?
[23:16] <oCean__> Quagmire: try running 'locate programname'
[23:17] <Quagmire> oCean__ where do I find that?
[23:17] <eseven73> lstarnes: nope
[23:17] <oCean__> Quagmire: you might have to run 'updatedb' first
[23:17] <eseven73> lstarnes: just gui stuff
[23:17] <Ward1983> VDarthusV, basically it should just work, maybe its restricted tohugh i dunno, nothing usefull on google
[23:17] <oCean__> Quagmire: open a terminal and run command
[23:17] <VDarthusV> okay I'll look over that
[23:17] <cylux> Hey, I installed new fonts (all caps) and somehow Firefox adopted these fonts. They got annoying so I deleted them but FIrefox has kept these fonts. What do I do?
[23:17] <ChrisBookwood> Hi, how do i make a bridge on ubuntu? When i say bridge, i mean my laptop, which has a ethernet cable plugged, sending out a wifi signal my other pc's can connect to, to the internet
[23:17] <mosfet> does someone know from a .deb how to retrieve all its dependencies and then install the package to a specific location
[23:17] <dr_willis> !ics | ChrisBookwood
[23:18] <something132> sound problem sound card detected but not playing music
[23:18] <Quagmire> oCean__ I got ...cannot open a temporary file for /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db
[23:18] <ChrisBookwood> dr_willis, what do you mean by "in the network"?
[23:19] <raylu> VDarthusV: yeah, i'm fairly sure it works without ndiswrapper
[23:19] <Quagmire> oCean__ that is what I got when I ran updatedb
[23:19] <Ward1983> ChrisBookwood, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=713874
[23:19] <oCean__> Quagmire: right, you have to run "sudo updatedb"
[23:19] <raylu> VDarthusV: so i'd recommend uninstalling that. "lsmod | grep mac" please
[23:20] <dr_willis> ChrisBookwood,  i dont mean anytyhing. thats the bot saying it..    it means other machines you are networked with.. i imagine..
[23:20] <raylu> VDarthusV: oh, "sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper" first, of course
[23:20] <lstarnes> eseven73: what happens when running gnome-schedule (the command you used in your first paste) as a regular user?
[23:20] <oCean__> Quagmire: after that, as a user you can locate any file by using the 'localte' command
[23:20] <VDarthusV> Raylu: in that case why do you think it doesn't work?
[23:20] <w3wsrmn> eseven73: try ` chmod 0700 /tmp/orbit-root && chown -R root:root /tmp/orbit-root
[23:20] <ChrisBookwood> dr_willis: i sorry, yeah... okay, thanks
[23:20] <cylux> Hey, I installed new fonts (all caps) and somehow Firefox adopted these fonts. They got annoying so I deleted them but FIrefox has kept these fonts. Any ideas?
[23:20] <ChrisBookwood> Ward1983, i'll give that a look too
[23:20] <raylu> VDarthusV: no idea, and i'm not really concerned. ndiswrapper should be a last resort choice, and it isn't for you
[23:20] <w3wsrmn> eseven73: minus the backtick, then try gnome-schedule
[23:20] <eseven73> lstarnes: same error
[23:21] <Scunizi> cylux: you need to refresh the font database
[23:21] <Quagmire> oCean__ "locate program name" command
[23:21] <cylux> Scunizi: What's the command, again?
[23:21] <Scunizi> !font | cylux
[23:21] <VDarthusV> Maybe thats so, however last time I used it it worked like a dream; perfectly
[23:21] <eseven73> w3wsrmn: doesnt help
[23:21] <Itaku> how do i send a message to all users on my comp logged in with ssh?
[23:21] <Scunizi> cylux: then you probably need to close FF and restart
[23:21] <DigitalFiz> wall?
[23:22] <Ward1983> ChrisBookwood, basically the important thing is to enable ip_forwarding , iirc i did it for my PDA with only one command (but i did it manually whenever i needed it)
[23:22] <cylux> Scunizi: Lol, I've restarted the whole computer.
[23:22] <oCean__> Quagmire: what's the question?
[23:22] <Scunizi> cylux: I mean after refreshing the database
[23:22] <cylux> Scunizi: Oh alright
[23:22] <w3wsrmn> eseven73: paste the output of ` stat /tmp/orbit-root `
[23:23] <Quagmire> oCean__ I just want to make sure I had the info right ...I think you made a typo with locate earlier and wanted to be sure
[23:23] <Scunizi> cylux: restarting the computer to "reset" services isn't really necessary unless you get a kernel upgrade.. usually that is.. not like windows where you have to reboot for most everything to take effect.
[23:23] <eseven73> w3wsrmn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/101924/
[23:24] <ChrisBookwood> Ward1983, i will keep that i mind!
[23:24] <raylu> Quagmire: if you can run the program, use "which"
[23:24] <oCean__> Quagmire: I might have :) After running the updatedb command, your localte command is: "/usr/bin/locate <string>"
[23:24] <oCean__> Quagmire: where <string> is (part of) your filename
[23:24] <Quagmire> oCean__ now that I I have found everything that has anything to do with xchat ...how do I kill it all off ...I want to remove everything and start from scratch
[23:24] <LtL> eseven73: you should sudo chmod +t /tmp/  your bits are set to- drwxrwxrwx
[23:25] <savvas> Quagmire: remove what? xchat custom user settings?
[23:25] <imout> raylu; Thanks again, have fun o/~
[23:25] <raylu> Quagmire: how did you install xchat?
[23:25] <imout> savvas ?
[23:25] <eseven73> k
[23:25] <savvas> imout ? :)
[23:25] <oCean__> Quagmire: I'm not sure, you want to remove all of the xchat software?
[23:25] <imout> greek savvas ?
[23:25] <Quagmire> yes I need to place it in the correct place and everytime I uninstall it reinstalls to the same ODD location
[23:25] <Quagmire> I need it ALL out
[23:26] <savvas> yes imout, but support in greek goes in #ubuntu-gr ;)
[23:26] <raylu> Quagmire: how did you install it? and where does it install? could you be more specific?
[23:26] <Chickers> hi
[23:26] <Quagmire> I'm on another pc by the way
[23:26] <imout> hah :D
[23:27] <Quagmire> its too hard to remember all the stuff I did to get to this point and I really don;t have a singhle problem in the world with wiping the program completely and starting over
[23:27] <raylu> Quagmire: that's really not helpful. i'm guessing you didn't install from the repositories?
[23:27] <Quagmire> I was trying to change the theme and ran into problems after the fact
[23:27] <Quagmire> I installed it from the add/remove
[23:27] <oCean__> Quagmire: You might try de-installing from the add/remove option in the Applications menu
[23:28] <raylu> de-installing :P
[23:28] <illmortal> Anyone know of a good Gnome dock/panel?
[23:28] <Quagmire> I've uninstalled and reinstalled mutiple times
[23:28] <raylu> Quagmire: how?!
[23:28] <Quagmire> evertime I reinstall it comes back with ALL the same settings
[23:28] <Ward1983> illmortal, gnome-panel :p
[23:28] <ardchoille> ill_phaze: awn, wbar, simdock, cairo-dock, there are many
[23:29] <oCean__> Quagmire: and that's bad because...
[23:29] <illmortal> gnome-panel? Is it anything like kool dock? Ward1983?
[23:29] <ardchoille> illmortal:  awn, wbar, simdock, cairo-dock, there are many
[23:29] <raylu> Quagmire: rm -r ~/.xchat
[23:29] <illmortal> awn only makes kooldock right? which is kde?...
[23:29] <raylu> illmortal: gnome-panel are the two panels you're looking at
[23:29] <Quagmire> because I could NOT find the program to remove the file I needed to remove and got totally frustrated
[23:29] <illmortal> oh lol i knew that raylu =x
[23:30] <ChrisBookwood> Ward1983, in the thread you linked to, it says that if it's a wifi card i will use for clients, it has to be set up differently than showed in the tutorial. Can you help me with that?
[23:30] <Ward1983> illmortal, i was joking its the default panel lol
[23:30] <imout> savvas no i dont need help in greek, we don't speak it in Scotland, but thanks :D
[23:30] <LtL> raylu: i think its ./xchat2 isn't it?
[23:30] <illmortal> aye lol
[23:30] <Quagmire> its like trying to put a jigsaw puzzle together in the dark ...you can be a stinking genius, but turn all the lights out and you are just another idiot. ;)
[23:30] <raylu> LtL: i wouldn't know. and i can't get any information out of Quagmire anyway :P
[23:30] <Ward1983> ChrisBookwood, not sure let me check
[23:30] <raylu> Quagmire: that's what it's like helping you, right now
[23:30] <LtL> raylu: er ~/.xchat2 rather
[23:31] <Quagmire> raylu it is too messy to remember all the steps ...I'm not trying to be evasive
[23:31] <sekyourbox> Err http://archive.ubuntu.com feisty/multiverse Packages                        404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.40 80]
[23:31] <oCean__> Quagmire: well, as raylu pointed out, your settings are in the .xchat directory in your homedirectory. Removing that directory (~/.xchat) might help you
[23:31] <jjlee> I seem to be getting intermittent key verification errors running debmirror: http://paste.ubuntu.com/101931/
[23:31] <Quagmire> I just simply don't tremember it has unfolded over 2 days
[23:31] <savvas> imout: I think you need to register an account to receive private messages :p
[23:31] <sekyourbox> is this supposed to be in the apt-get list?
[23:31] <raylu> Quagmire: you keep saying that you uninstall and reinstall. i'm sure you can remember if you've installed from source, binaries, or the repositories
[23:31] <TriBeCa99> anyone know how to add devices to a degraded raid array in mdadm?
[23:31] <Quagmire> thats the isssue ...that folder is NOT in the home folder .LOL
[23:31] <illmortal> what's the package name for awn dock? o.O
[23:31] <raylu> sekyourbox: apt-get list? sources, you mean? what were you doing when you got that?
[23:31] <jjlee> sudo rm -rf mirror/.temp && run_debmirror.sh sometimes errors like that, sometimes not
[23:32] <TriBeCa99> for various reasons i built the array with two missing devices, now i need to add devices in the missing spots
[23:32] <raylu> Quagmire: as ltl said, try .xchat2
[23:32] <raylu> !search awn
[23:32] <imout> thats okay savvas, i'll drop you an email, nice see-ing you, have fun :D
[23:32] <raylu> !awn | illmortal
[23:32] <Quagmire> I uninstalled and reinstalled using using add/remove and synaptic
[23:32] <Ward1983> ChrisBookwood, i didnt read it all but you should have enough with ad-hoc wifi networking, which is fairly straightforward: sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "WirelessNetworkName" mode Ad-Hoc key s:*************
[23:32] <LtL> Quagmire: do a ls -la in your home dir if you see .xchat2 thats where your settings are saved.
[23:32] <TriBeCa99> if i just do mdadm /dev/md1 --add /dev/sdb1 it just adds them as spares...not in place of the missing drives
[23:32] <sekyourbox> raylu, I just did an apt-get update
[23:32] <raylu> Quagmire: then you installed from the repositories and you shouldn't be concerned with where the files are. messing with that is a bad idea; use the package managers
[23:33] <sekyourbox> raylu, I have about 4 addresses with an error
[23:33] <Ward1983> ChrisBookwood, google ad-hoc wifi ubuntu and stuff like that if it doesnt work
[23:33] <raylu> sekyourbox: no idea. possibly a problem with your router or a real problem with the servers
[23:33] <Quagmire> I do see xchat2 listed when I ran the ls -la command
[23:33] <sekyourbox> I added this Failed to fetch http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/dists/feisty/Release.gpg  Could not resolve 'medibuntu.sos-sts.com'
[23:34] <ChrisBookwood> Ward1983, so you say i just need to set up ubuntu to ad-hoc, to make it work, and thats it?
[23:34] <LtL> Quagmire: what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[23:34] <Ward1983> ChrisBookwood, oh and offcourse give them an ip in the same subnet, i forgot to mention
[23:34] <TriBeCa99> anyone give me a hand using mdadm? please?
[23:34] <ChrisBookwood> Ward1983, can i contact you pm?
[23:34] <Ward1983> ChrisBookwood, yes ad-hoc between your 2 wireless interfaces, and then ip_forwarding should do it
[23:35] <ikonia> TriBeCa99: whats up
[23:35] <Quagmire> well there is a file that xchat uses that needs to be moved and then another that changes the color of your theme needs to be moved in its place, but it was not there earlier ...it may have had to do with refreshing the db
[23:35] <Ward1983> ChrisBookwood, sure but here maybe other people can read it if they have the same problem or are interested in doing the same
[23:36] <ChrisBookwood> Ward1983, yeah, but i think it too messy doing it here, but if they are interested they can just ask to join
[23:36] <ssslonnn> hi! I have a question. how to check my NAT configuration? i'm connected to the internet through 3,5G, when I'm  trying to use different torent clients to download - only Vuze partialy working, downloading is ok, but my upload speed is zero. how i can check my NAT configuration?
[23:36] <Quagmire> I'm looking for it and its still not coming up in a search inside nautilus
[23:36] <LtL> Quagmire: if you rm -rf ~/.xchat2   ...then run xchat from the menu you can start with fresh original settings.
[23:36] <mrwes> Will previously installed software under gnome show up in the menus for JWM automatically?
[23:36] <raylu> Quagmire: did you run ls -lA in your home directory?
[23:36] <giacomo_c> i have a separate partition for my / and for my /home.  i want to install ubuntu 8.10, but i want to keep my /home partition, how can i do this?  just install the / partition?
[23:36] <TriBeCa99> ikonia: how do i add drives to a degraded array?
[23:37] <ikonia> TriBeCa99: you have to use the "build" option and just add the drive and it will rebuild the array with a drive
[23:37] <TriBeCa99> ikonia: mdadm /dev/md1 --add /dev/sdb1 just adds it as a spare, but doesn't replace the 'missing' drives
[23:37] <Quagmire> raylu yes I believe it was in my home folder
[23:37] <TriBeCa99> ikonia: ahhh so just mdadm --build /dev/md1?
[23:37] <ikonia> TriBeCa99: with the disk options too - but yes
[23:37] <raylu> ssslonnn: http://www.utorrent.com/testport.php?port=51054
[23:37] <raylu> ssslonnn: replacing port with your port
[23:37] <TriBeCa99> ikonia: disk options? the disks have already been added to the array....
[23:37] <giacomo_c> i have a separate partition for my / and for my /home.  i want to install ubuntu 8.10, but i want to keep my /home partition, how can i do this?  just install the / partition?
[23:38] <TriBeCa99> ikonia: i'll man it and see if i can figure what you mean....
[23:38] <dr3as> why is synaptic set as an dependency when installing firefox? :S
[23:38] <ikonia> TriBeCa99: mdadm --manage /dev/mda1 --add "disk"
[23:38] <raylu> giacomo_c: go into manual partitioning and choose /home as the partition's mount point. make sure not to mark it as needing formatting
[23:38] <KenBW22> i've heard that hibernation on intrepid is possible with the eeepc. i have ubuntu installed completely on an SD card - is there a way to get it to work?
[23:38] <ikonia> TriBeCa99: if it doesn't pick up the disk from that you need to issue a rebuild command specifying the additional disk along with the origionals
[23:39] <giacomo_c> oh, thanks raylu
[23:39] <Quagmire> LtL I ran the rm -fr ~/xchat2 coammand and when I restarted xchat ....all my settings are STILLthere
[23:39] <raylu> dr3as: it's not: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/firefox-3.0
[23:40] <KenBW22> Quagmire: maybe it uses a different config directory
[23:40] <LtL> Quagmire: rm -rf  the order may be important
[23:40] <illmortal> is there a better dock than AWN?
[23:40] <TriBeCa99> ikonia: i've already done the manage mode call to add the disks... but when i do it adds them as spares rather than replacing the missing drives
[23:40] <dr3as> raylu: well, a apt-get install firefox pulls it down
[23:40] <Quagmire> I ran it exactly the way he typed it
[23:40] <bastid_raZor> illmortal; cairo-dock is fairly decent.
[23:40] <billybigrigger> anyone here use skype with an HDA Intel soundcard/mic? i can't get my mic to work in skype, and cant see anywhere to get skype to use alsa instead of pulse
[23:40] <raylu> dr3as: try running just "apt-get install"
[23:40] <raylu> dr3as: it might have been left over from a previous install
[23:40] <dr3as> clean install
[23:40] <TriBeCa99> ikonia: i doubt i can actually --build (i know i can't --create) because the md device already exists... i jsut want it to add the two other drives tot he array
[23:41] <illmortal> cairo-dock ey?... alright ill check it out, thanks bastid_razor
[23:41] <KenBW22> i've heard that hibernation on intrepid is possible with the eeepc. i have ubuntu installed completely on an SD card - is there a way to get it to work?
[23:41] <Quagmire> I've been saying that the file is not where it was the first time I ran xcaht ...I moved it
[23:41] <raylu> dr3as: huh?
[23:41] <dr3as> i see someone else have marked it as a bug
[23:41] <Austin`1> With Ubuntu 8.10 I'm having a weird issue: whenever I save a new file, things freeze up a little. I can change workspaces fine, but the taskbar doesn't update, and everything between the top and bottom panels is frozen (it switches when I switch workspaces though). This stays for 10 - 45 seconds and then everything is fine. Right before things come back, the icons in the notification area disappear and then reappear. Anyone know wh
[23:41] <savvas> dr3as: type in your address bar this: apt://wormux
[23:41] <roca> whats the command to tell what version of ubuntu you're running
[23:41] <Slart> roca: lsb_release -a
[23:41] <KenBW22> Austin`1: slow HDD?
[23:41] <savvas> dr3as: firefox supports apt:// urls, to easily point and click to install a package
[23:41] <roca> Slart: thanks
[23:41] <dr3as> savvas: i see, but i dont want that :p
[23:41] <Austin`1> KenBW22: would that cause that? how can I fix it
[23:41] <Slart> roca: you're welcome
[23:41] <LtL> Quagmire: did you install xchat from a tarball or other archive rather than package manager?
[23:42] <KenBW22> Austin`1: dunno, i just know i have similar problems having ubuntu on a slow SD card
[23:42] <illmortal> bastid_razor after installing it.. where is it located in the menu? o.O
[23:42] <savvas> dr3as: and that's why it needs synaptic - to install packages and add-ons you might need, like visiting a site that needs a flash and you don't have flash
[23:42] <raylu> Austin`1: do you get a similar problem if you run "touch ~/test"?
[23:42] <Quagmire> no I grabbed it from synaptic or add/remove ...but I've removed it and reinstalled it SO many times I have lost count
[23:42] <bastid_raZor> illmortal; applications>system tools (i think) you could alt+F1 then type cairo-dock
[23:42] <Quagmire> thats why I want it ALL out ...a freesh start
[23:43] <Austin`1> raylu: nope, that doesn't freeze anything
[23:43] <savvas> dr3as: You can always switch to the package abrowser :) - or just purge the package ubufox
[23:43] <VDarthusV> How would I get netgear wg111 to work on ubuntu Intrepid Ibex
[23:43] <obf213> hey, im trying to use gparted to resize my partition, but the resize option is grayed out even tho its ext3 which as full gparted capabilites? any ideas as to whats up?
[23:43] <raylu> Austin`1: so i'm guessing it only happens in one app, then?
[23:43] <Jack_Sparrow> obf213, is it unmounted
[23:43] <illmortal> ok cool, thanks again bastid_razor
[23:43] <dr3as> thats not much clean an easy :S i just want a small simple system
[23:43] <Slart> obf213: is the partition mounted?
[23:43] <Quagmire> any chance someone could take me on one on one for a short time ...I'm posotive that with focus we could get this resolved
[23:43] <Austin`1> raylu: it happens whenever I am creating a new file. if I am overwriting, it works fine
[23:43] <LtL> Quagmire: then run synaptic, search xchat and choose remove including configuration files
[23:43] <raylu> obf213: i think you meant to say that gparted has full ext capabilities :P
[23:44] <obf213> Slart, Jack_Sparrow, no
[23:44] <bastid_raZor> illmortal; i use the svn version which has quite a few more eye candy effects if you have an nVidia graphics card.
[23:44] <Austin`1> raylu: so basically any app. it also seems that whenever this happens, firefox closes
[23:44] <raylu> Austin`1: don't tell me you had a file named "test" already?
[23:44] <Quagmire> LtL ...I've only down that about 3 times at this pount
[23:44] <savvas> dr3as: try debian testing then, install what you need and customize it from the ground up
[23:44] <kole> hi
[23:44] <obf213> is that the problem? how can it be unmounted when its is my linux partition?
[23:44] <kole> I just installed ubuntu... first time using linux in my life.... and i LOVE IT
[23:44] <jeeves_Moss> what would cause my system to lock up to the point where it takes 10-15 mins to switch terminals, and have all the icons on my desktop dissipier
[23:44] <Quagmire> LtL I'll reinstall it and it comes back EXACTLY the same way it was before I uninstalled it
[23:44] <illmortal> bastid_razor, how do I obtain that version?! I do in fact run a nvidia card
[23:44] <dr3as> i've set up a laptop with just ubuntu-minimal, added gnome-core, gdm and x-stuff, kind of fun
[23:44] <exodus_MS> kole: cool :)
[23:44] <sekyourbox> Ubuntu is okay for a desktop computer
[23:45] <raylu> jeeves_Moss: sudo dmesg | tail
[23:45] <raylu> jeeves_Moss: tail /var/log/messages
[23:45] <sekyourbox> I like CentOS for servers
[23:45] <raylu> !svn | illmortal
[23:45] <bastid_raZor> illmortal; do you have any experience with compiling? if not it is not wise to use it. the svn version breaks often and needs tweaking to fix it
[23:45] <worldcitizen> sekyourbox: is there something better for a desktop computer?
[23:45] <Slart> obf213: hmm.. I just tried it on my machine.. and I can resize an ext3-partition
[23:45] <jeeves_Moss> raylu, the system locks up and I need to reboot it in order to get anywhere
[23:45] <savvas> dr3as: well then, just remove ubufox and synaptic packages - it should be ok
[23:45] <Austin`1> raylu: I didn't have a file named test already. and I ran it multiple times
[23:45] <raylu> jeeves_Moss: try ctrl+alt+f1 next time it happens, then
[23:45] <dr3as> savvas: yupp, i think that will be the way
[23:46] <sekyourbox> all your preference, good user support with ubuntu
[23:46] <obf213> Slart, so im on ubuntu now using that partition, I didn't think that it would be a problem. I can't unmount the partitition can I, that wouldnt seem to make any sense.
[23:46] <illmortal> ooo.. no i'm not too good with compiling unless i have instructions, bastid_razor lol
[23:46] <raylu> Austin`1: well, running it the second and latter times won't make a difference. touch only creates files if they don't exist
[23:46] <Slart> obf213: ahh... it's the root partition or something?
[23:46] <bastid_raZor> illmortal; best guess then would be to stick with the repo version. it has all the plugins working and is by far (in my opinion) better than awn
[23:47] <Slart> obf213: almost all kinds of partition tools reuires an unmounted partition
[23:47] <obf213> Slart, i guess, i only have ubuntu on this computer and this si the main partition so I guess its the root?
[23:47] <Slart> obf213: do you have a live cd you can boot from that, do the resizing and then boot into the real system again
[23:47] <LtL> Quagmire: run this in terminal from your home dir, find -name '*xchat*'
[23:47] <_M4rk_> Hi all, Im trying to setup a webpage kinda thing so i can add new ftp users threw that for pureftpd although i need to edit pure-ftpd.conf but i can not find it, does anyone know where this file is located?
[23:48] <LtL> Quagmire: look for xchat.conf
[23:48] <Slart> obf213: I think that's what pretty much everyone does when they need to do something with a system partition
[23:48] <Austin`1> raylu: here we go. I did 'touch ~/Desktop/test' and it froze. and most of the times that I experience this its on the desktop
[23:48] <raylu> jeeves_Moss: also, http://fosswire.com/2007/09/08/fix-a-frozen-system-with-the-magic-sysrq-keys/
[23:48] <raylu> LtL: -iname may help
[23:48] <raylu> Austin`1: is your partition ext3?
[23:49] <LtL> raylu: that worked here, but iname would work.
[23:49] <arlenk> hello?
[23:49] <Bangers> Is anything wrong with this command?  rsync -vur --delete /data /mnt/data.    It seems to be sitting on building file list for a very long time
[23:50] <xavier13> ikonia PM?
[23:50] <xavier13> anyone here?
[23:50] <n2diy> Can a file be "highlighted" in Nautilus, so it stands out from the rest of the files?
[23:50] <Bangers> hi
[23:50] <LtL> _M4rk_: look in /etc/
[23:50] <arlenk> hi
[23:50] <dr3as> savvas: "sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends firefox" works ;)
[23:50] <sekyourbox> I think im high on paint fumes
[23:50] <Sanketsu> laptop with a fresh install of intrepid on it due to a hard drive crash (so new hard drive and install of intrepid) and everything was working fine until I updated.  There were 200+ updates and after the updates I had to restart, since then my laptop won't connect to the internet, neither wired nor wireless.  Any idea where I should look to fix this?
[23:50] <exodus_MS> !ask > xavier13
[23:51] <demilord_78> Is there a plugin for rhythmbox to rescan my collection?
[23:51] <raylu> n2diy: no, but it's semi-possible in bash :D
[23:51] <sekyourbox> xterm had exploits the other day?
[23:51] <Nickz> Hello guys!! I need some help with Squid
[23:51] <raylu> _M4rk_: also, note that ftp passwords are transmitted in cleartext and, therefore, not recommended
[23:52] <Austin`1> raylu: yes, my partition is ext3
[23:52] <mobilephreak> quagmire sudo find / -name xchat.conf
[23:52] <n2diy> raylu: Ok, I was hoping for a Nautilus solution, thanks.
[23:52] <bastid_raZor> demilord_78; close it then reopen it.. it scan on each open
[23:52] <raylu> mobilephreak: locate is better for find /
[23:52] <mobilephreak> raylu as long as you updatedb
[23:52] <raylu> mobilephreak: i believe there's a cronjob for doing that
[23:52] <Slart> n2diy: there's propertied, emblems
[23:52] <sekyourbox> lol, local exploit for cain and able? why?
[23:52] <savvas> dr3as: great :)
[23:52] <Slart> n2diy: *properties
[23:53] <demilord_78> ah ok thnx bastid_raZor
[23:53] <raylu> Austin`1: then i'd say you have a screwy hard drive. how long has ubuntu been installed? also, df -hx tmpfs
[23:53] <mobilephreak> raylu i am conming from old liux/unix
[23:53] <xavier13> i seem to have lost my helper... can anyone help me out with mdadm? i'm going nuts here
[23:53] <raylu> mobilephreak: old = ?
[23:53] <xavier13> seems like what i'm trying to do would be simple, but i can't find it in the man page at all
[23:53] <Austin`1> raylu: I'm using sshfs, could that be a problem?
[23:53] <savvas> dr3as: I think you can customize that no-recommends and set it somehow in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/
[23:53] <raylu> Austin`1: i thought you said ext3?
[23:54] <dr3as> savvas: thanks for the tip
[23:54] <raylu> Austin`1: yes, that would be the obvious source of the problem
[23:54] <mobilephreak> raylu solaris 8 hp-ux and the like
[23:54] <xavier13> i need help adding new devices to a degraded RAID10 array in mdadm
[23:54] <Nickz> I need some help with squid
[23:54] <raylu> mobilephreak: woah.
[23:54] <Austin`1> raylu: yes but I have a sshfs mounted
[23:54]  * raylu bows
[23:54] <Barridus> is there a "shortcut" for entering the path to the home folder?
[23:54] <n2diy> Slart: yes, that looks like as close as I can get to what I wanted.
[23:54] <Austin`1> raylu: ok, thanks
[23:54] <raylu> Austin`1: is that where you're saving files?
[23:54] <AndreasMadrid> hi!  I have accidentaly removed the netowork thing from the panel (i just wanted to move it), but now i don't find it in "add to panel". How can i get it back? The thing that says if I'm connected to inernet and shows all the wireless networks???
[23:54] <raylu> !home
[23:54] <raylu> meh
[23:54] <raylu> Barridus: ~
[23:54] <illmortal> Anyone know how to unlock the trash bin so that it can be added to a dock or even the desktop?
[23:54] <mobilephreak> raylu been around this for a while, remember getting slackware with floppies
[23:54] <Austin`1> raylu: no, the problem is mostly on ~/Desktop/
[23:55] <obf213> Slart, gparted live to the resuce
[23:55] <raylu> Austin`1: oh... where is the sshfs mounted?
[23:55] <Austin`1> raylu: ~/gulati/
[23:55] <raylu> !trash | illmortal
[23:55] <Austin`1> raylu: should I mount it in /media/
[23:55] <Slart> obf213: ah.. now you should be able to resize it
[23:55] <xavier13> !mdadm > xavier13
[23:55] <techsupport> to install LAMP which command do i run? sudo apt-get install lamp ?
[23:55] <jjlee> Does anybody have any idea why debmirror is fetching (for example) a hardy-security Release file that doesn't match the Release.gpg it also fetched at the same time?
[23:56] <raylu> Austin`1: up to you. i thought it might be slow because it needed to stat the directory above where you mounted it
[23:56] <raylu> Austin`1: but that's unlikely
[23:56] <illmortal> raylu well I don't need the location I don't think... but I remember making a modification somewhere so that I can have the trash bin located on the desktop.
[23:56] <Barridus> hmmm, doesn't seem to work
[23:56] <Austin`1> raylu: ill umount the sshfs and see how if its better
[23:56] <raylu> !icons | illmortal
[23:56] <AndreasMadrid> hi!  I have accidentaly removed the netowork thing from the panel (i just wanted to move it), but now i don't find it in "add to panel". How can i get it back? The thing that says if I'm connected to inernet and shows all the wireless networks???
[23:56] <jjlee> running gpgv myself shows a bad signature error, and the Release file and the Release.gpg file look sensible
[23:56] <raylu> Austin`1: i believe there's a better way than using umount
[23:56] <nickrud> techsupport, sudo tasksel install lamp
[23:57] <jjlee> Does that not worry anybody else?-)
[23:57] <Austin`1> raylu: oh?
[23:57] <demilord_78> look in the session configuration tool AndreasMadrid
[23:57] <illmortal> bam! you're the man, raylu!
[23:57] <kole> hmmmm
[23:57] <kole> how do I get dvds to play?
[23:57] <nickrud> jjlee, try removing the data /var/lib/apt/lists and redownloading it all
[23:57] <raylu> Austin`1: sshfsmount, or something like that. i don't remember
[23:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !dvd
[23:58] <demilord_78> install libdvdcss kole
[23:58] <jjlee> nickrud: all what?  The whole mirror??
[23:58] <nickrud> jjlee, that is, sudo apt-get update ;)
[23:58] <kole> libdvdcss
[23:58] <kole> hmmm
[23:58] <kole> that in addremove?
[23:58] <demilord_78> !dvd
[23:58] <raylu> Austin`1: yeah, there's an sshfs binary. http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/sshfs/filelist
[23:58] <rww> kole: no. Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[23:58] <AndreasMadrid> demilord_78 there the network manager is already added.... ???
[23:58] <jjlee> nickrud: all == /var/lib/apt/lists, you mean, ok
[23:59] <raylu> !no
[23:59] <Austin`1> raylu: yeah, that's how I mount it. I unmount it with umount
[23:59] <AndreasMadrid> demilord_78 and also some programs show an icon in tray, like amsn, they aren't there anymore either
[23:59] <raylu> Austin`1: i thought sshfs would have some flag for unmounting
[23:59] <est28> hi, I have installed ubuntu 8.10 and after that installed nvidia drivers (using envy). After restart everything is soooooo sluggish, that I have to wait 10 minutes to menu opening. That is because desktop effects are automaticly turned on? How can I turn them off (I can do it only in terminal)?
[23:59] <kole> what do I hit to open command line?
[23:59] <Barridus> heh, raylu, i was entering !home/username as i misunderstood XD
[23:59] <eseven73> Restarting fixed my gconf errors :)
