[00:00] <m0sh3> nice, thanks
[00:00] <Odd-rationale> m0sh3: you might want to try some console irc clients like irssi or weechat.
[00:00] <WinterWeaver> bobbyd, how do I run the applet? I tried to add to the gnome panel, but the only extra applet I saw there was a FreqScaling monitor, it does not measure the temperature
[00:00] <Kevin___> Does anyone have any ideas on my issue? I have a lot of important stuff on there and I'm really not sure what to do.
[00:01] <nightrid3r> Kevin___: can you ssh into the box?
[00:01] <CarolinaSwamp> can you echo an end of line character ? ie echo "line 1 \n line2 \n" > file
[00:01] <bobbyd> WinterWeaver: you need to install it with synaptic, then add "CPUFreq monitor" in the applets menu
[00:01] <Kevin___> Nightrid3r: I have a web admin interface installed and can access a terminal prompt from there.
[00:02] <WinterWeaver> bobbyd, yup that's exactly what I did, but it't not measuring temperature at all, only cpu frequency
[00:02] <bobbyd> WinterWeaver: does it have temp enables in the preferences?
[00:02] <lrdApex> Trying to install the 64bit flash player in firefox.  i downloaded the .so file and copied it to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ doesnt seem to work.
[00:02] <ZeroA4> como monto um dispositivo raid pra manutenção ?
[00:02] <nightrid3r> Kevin___: worst case scenario, you can backup your stuff trough webmin
[00:03] <ZeroA4> sorry!
[00:03] <roni> does anyone know a cli method that will tell me my external ip address, not the one my router gives me with ifconfig?
[00:03] <oholiab> yme: that's sweet man, well done :D
[00:03] <bobbyd> Kevin___: can you just do ctrl-alt-f1 and get a terminal?
[00:03] <WinterWeaver> bobbyd, there is no option for preferences... left click gives be a list of presets for cpu frequency, right click just gist the standard gnome panel options (ie. move, remove etc.), but no preferences
[00:03] <bobbyd> Kevin___: remember ctrl-alt-f7 to get back here :)
[00:03] <lrdApex> roni: probably do some cool wget whatsmyip.org and fish it out of there :)
[00:04] <bobbyd> WinterWeaver: weird, I've got preferences :)
[00:04] <Kevin___> bobbyd: I have the machine at work so I'll have to check tomorrow. See, the error keeps popping up when I hit OK so I'm not sure if it'll let me do a ctrl-alt-f1
[00:04] <roni> lrdApex: thanks ill mess with that
[00:04] <Kevin___> bobbyd: Can I just run the commands from webmin?
[00:04] <lrdApex> roni: or if you like ruby they have some nice ways of crawling web pages
[00:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !webmin
[00:05] <WinterWeaver> bobbyd, you have the same version of ubuntu ? 8.04
[00:05] <bobbyd> Kevin___: the other thing to do is log in as root (use the recovery option at the GRUB prompt), you then have full access to the machine and could create another user account, or transfer the data
[00:05] <nightrid3r> !ebox
[00:05] <ZeroA4> how can i mount an soft raid md device on a liveCD for rescue some files?
[00:05] <bobbyd> WinterWeaver: 8.10 here, but this has worked for a long time for me
[00:05] <lrdApex> anyone installed adobe flash 64bit plugin for firefox?
[00:06] <bobbyd> Kevin___: I don't know, sorry
[00:06] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash64
[00:06] <pio_> lrdApex, activate medibunturepo and ues it to install flash
[00:06] <pio_> medibuntu repository*
[00:06] <Kevin___> bobbyd: Sorry, I'm not totally sure what or where the GRUB prompt is...
[00:06] <bobbyd> Kevin___: it's the text you get on boot when the machine starts up
[00:07] <bobbyd> but as someone said, you could also just ssh to it from Linux, or Windows using something like Putty
[00:07] <Kevin___> bobbyd: Ok. I'll try it out. Thanks guys.
[00:07] <lrdApex> pio_: rather not add the extra repo and do this manually, any suggestions?
[00:11] <nightrid3r> can i get my screen higher than 800x600 on a vesa card (my laptop card is not supported otherwise)? sis 771/671 card
[00:11] <yme> oholiab, thank you for your help
[00:11] <yme> Bye
[00:12] <Jack_Sparrow> nightrid3r, 1024x768 will work for vesa
[00:12] <yuri_> how do i send mail from the command line? something like $ sendmail emailaddress subject body ?
[00:12] <marabout_> Can anyone tell me if Ubuntu (hardy) normally uses the IPv4  protocol or is that an anomaly on my system?
[00:12] <m0sh3> Hello ppl
[00:12] <m0sh3> back on ubuntu :)
[00:13] <m0sh3> and pidgin
[00:13] <nightrid3r> Jack_Sparrow: i know but i can only set 800x600 trough the gui util and have no idea how to setup Xorg.conf
[00:13] <m0sh3> can you have a fusion of ubuntu and kubuntu at the same time?
[00:13] <Jack_Sparrow> no
[00:13] <zc00gii> m0sh3: yeah, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[00:13] <nightrid3r> m0sh3: yes you can
[00:13] <Jack_Sparrow> switch between yes
[00:14] <ruffles_> gi
[00:14] <m0sh3> oh ok nice :)
[00:14] <ruffles_> hi
[00:14] <m0sh3> i'll still have all my files right?
[00:14] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[00:14] <zc00gii> Jack_Sparrow: via the kubuntu-dekstop you can
[00:14] <m0sh3> ok thanks
[00:14] <yuri_> exit
[00:14] <zc00gii> m0sh3: yes, just uses a different window manager
[00:14] <ruffles_> how do i connect to another channel?
[00:14] <Jack_Sparrow> zc00gii, fusion of both no, select between kubuntu and ubuntu under options when you login ,. yes
[00:14] <remix_> can anyone help me,in setting up my wireless network.Icant figure it out
[00:15] <zc00gii> m0sh3: there's fluxbox, xubuntu-desktop, and many more, I suggest getting ccsm too
[00:15] <m0sh3> what is fluxbox?
[00:15] <zc00gii> Jack_Sparrow: essentially, yeah sort of, you have eachothers programs
[00:15] <ruffles_> zc00gii: they are called KDE FLUXBOX ang GNOME
[00:16] <kitche> zc00gii: it's the same operating system just a different desktop environment
[00:16] <zc00gii> m0sh3: a down to earth, simple, windows manger, think of it as the Windows Classic style of Linux
[00:16] <m0sh3> nice
[00:16] <zc00gii> kitche: I do kow that, even kubuntu itself is, and ruffles_, I was saying the packages (I hate posting too many lines)
[00:16] <m0sh3> that would be a good idea, since i wanna change from windows to linux
[00:17] <xiphos> Hello
[00:17] <zc00gii> KDE is alot like Windows(Kubuntu window manager)
[00:17] <m0sh3> i don't like the idea to be paying for software right now that i'm in my college years
[00:17] <m0sh3> yeah i have tried that one
[00:17] <m0sh3> but personally prefer Gnome
[00:17] <Jack_Sparrow> http://xwinman.org/          for info on wm's
[00:17] <m0sh3> gives me a different taste than windows
[00:17] <ruffles_> there are pople who think microsoft copied KDE for windows acutally
[00:17] <xiphos> I like windowmaker, myself
[00:18] <zc00gii> KDE4 is like Win7, and KDE3 is like vista and older ones
[00:18] <remix_> does anyone know how to setup a wireless network in ubuntu?
[00:18] <xiphos> Anyone present able to assist with a tv tuner ausio issue?
[00:18] <nightrid3r> i think microsoft first runs over it with a train before they copy but thats just me :)
[00:18] <ardchoille> !ot
[00:19] <Jack_Sparrow> xiphos, tvtime. mythtv. linuxmce etc?
[00:19] <ari_stress> morning all :)
[00:19] <zc00gii> remix_: just type the routers IP address, look in the routers manual
[00:19] <pdtpatrick> remix can you be more specific ..you want to join a network or you need to install a wireless card?
[00:19] <m0sh3> i tried Win7 looks nice but it is the same thing, just some new features but none of them to be recalled.
[00:19] <xiphos> Jack_sparrow: All of the above
[00:19] <PixelBitch> I updated Ubuntu and now X gets stuck in an infinite restart. I'm only able to start the system and use TTY1-6...is there any way I can just "restore" my intall to the current release and blow away everything non-standard?
[00:20] <pdtpatrick> remix if you want to join a wireless network then at the top right, you will see your network, click on it and click on the wifi essid you want to join, then put in the password or paraphrase and you should be set
[00:20] <zc00gii> m0sh3: I just wanted a free windows excuse for apps I need to run on Windows lol
[00:20] <xiphos> I cannot get any apps to play audio directly.  I have to cat /dev/audio1 to /dev/audio, and that results in mono-only sound, and a 2 second delay.
[00:20] <pdtpatrick> remix if however you are having problems, then install wicd and that should be basic enough to work
[00:20] <m0sh3> lol xD
[00:21] <m0sh3> i have it on a dvd, i installed it for like 2 days
[00:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > m0sh3
[00:21] <m0sh3> then i unistalled it and installed linux
[00:22] <xiphos> I'm watching TV with tvtime now, with the 2-second delayed audio. It's very annoying.
[00:22] <m0sh3> ubottu, ok, sorry man my bad
[00:22] <xiphos> So, /dev/audio1 is definitely the correct TV tuner audio device. It even shows up in alsa.
[00:23] <m0sh3> join #﻿#ubuntu-offtopic
[00:23] <Kevin___> When entering the Ubuntu Recovery Mode, will it boot GNOME or will it just give me a command prompt?
[00:23] <PixelBitch> Any way to restore ubuntu to a pristine state without doing a full reinstall?
[00:23] <useruseruseruser> herro
[00:23] <xiphos> But TVTime, MythTV, XAwTV, linuxmce, etc refuse to acknowledge /dev/audio1 as a valid audio input.

[00:24] <megabyte_> Im using NVIDIA Grahpics version 173 with a FX 5200 anyone able to get dual monitors working correctly??
[00:24] <nightrid3r> xiphos: give kdetv a try, i always use it and never had any probs
[00:24] <\Kira> why doesnt ubuntu use a rolling release system? It would be WAY more effective
[00:24] <Jack_Sparrow> kira Offtopic
[00:24] <remix_> but i have a usb antenna
[00:24] <PixelBitch> ardchoille: Really? I've got the packages on my HDD, I just want to jump back into the before times of long, long ago where things worked
[00:25] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, the suggestion would be then to have a backup
[00:25] <PixelBitch> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah...
[00:25] <zc00gii> remix_: is it a adapter or router? if a router the default GNOME network manager will do
[00:25] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, did you just install video drivers or a bunch of other stuf
[00:26] <ozzloy> what's the equivalent of ipconfig /renew on linux?
[00:26] <nightrid3r> remix_: is your adapter supported ??
[00:26] <nightrid3r> ozzloy: ifconfig
[00:26] <unop> ozzloy, sudo dhclient  <interface_name>
[00:26] <linux_trojan> sudu ifup eth0 is that renew IP?
[00:26] <PixelBitch> I let Ubuntu do it's update via update manager and now my X is stuck in an infinite restart
[00:27] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, Were there perhaps unsupported repos in your source list.. or things youinstalled manually
[00:27] <unop> linux_trojan, that brings up an interface, not necessarily renew the DHCP lease.
[00:28] <Doonz> hey guys just wondering if you could recomend a gui feeling unrar utility to use in a shell
[00:28] <linux_trojan> unop: well you have to do sudo ifdown eth0 first?
[00:28] <PixelBitch> Jack_Sparrow: Possibly. Is there any way to just go back to a defacto Ubuntu install without doing a full wipe? I've got my important bits on other HDDs and machines.
[00:28] <unop> linux_trojan, even then, an ifup doesn't necessarily renew a DHCP lease.
[00:28] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, there is no rollback
[00:28] <linux_trojan> i see
[00:29] <PixelBitch> Jack_Sparrow: Gotcha. Welp, I'm off to reinstall. Thanks for the help matey.
[00:29] <oholiab> linux_trojan: can you not just do dhcpcd stop and then dhcpcd start?
[00:29] <Jack_Sparrow> np sorry it wasnt a better answer
[00:29] <linux_trojan> anyone know how to download video from a camcorder in ubuntu?  google info is very weak, could use some help
[00:29] <ardchoille> PixelBitch: A good thing to do right now is try and figure out what you did wrong so as to not repeat the mistake. Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file ?
[00:29] <ardchoille> !paste | PixelBitch
[00:29] <linux_trojan> lol oholi:  didnt think of that one
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille, Stuck in a boot loop from what he said
[00:30] <PixelBitch> Uhmm...I'm in TTY2 atm, so I'm not sure how I'd go about posting anything to paste bin without going through some telnet fun.
[00:30] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: ah, ok, I was thinking it was a problem with xorg
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[00:30] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, You can try this.. one sec
[00:31] <ardchoille> PixelBitch: nevermind, I may have misunderstood the problem
[00:31] <linux_trojan> I need help downloading video from a camcorder, anyone available?
[00:31] <ardchoille> !info pastebinit
[00:31] <PixelBitch> ardchoille: I will move my sources and x confs from the HDD before I reinstall just so I can have my fsck-ups for future reference
[00:31] <ardchoille> ok
[00:31] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list    (Provide Pastebin link in channel)

[00:43] <chmac> Now I want to install grub onto it, but that step is failing.
[00:43] <chmac> Any suggestions on how to debug? Or how to install the bootloader? I'm using an encrypted lvm

[00:44] <xiphos> nightrid3r: Well, it partially worked. :)
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, try sudo nvidia-xconfig  it should remove your driver
[00:45] <xiphos> kdetv seems to just automagically cat /dev/audio1, and little else.

[00:47] <ardchoille> CrocoJet: no
[00:47] <Jack_Sparrow> PixelBitch, Reboot to recovery mode and see if you can startx
[00:47] <xiphos> I should just spend the extra and get a decent, hardware tuner card.  Thanks for the help!

[00:53] <vigo> whileiamhere: Uhmmmm,,,errr,,,did you search Synaptic for another PDF app?
[00:54] <whileimhere> Is there an adobe reader for linux?
[00:54] <eseven73> whileimhere: yes there is
[00:54] <whileimhere> I saw x-pdf but that is a viewer no editing in it
[00:54] <eseven73> !medibuntu | whileimhere you have to get adobe reader this way:
[00:54] <Victorix> please i search a french ubuntu channel
[00:55] <whileimhere> Thanks! :)

[00:55] <Schuenemann> I have a brand new installation of intrepid in my notebook (lenovo N200) and the audio is VERY low. If I have it at 60% it's almost inaudible. Any suggestions?
[00:56] <eseven73> !pm | fromero69
[00:56] <vigo> tried headphones?
[00:56] <fromero69> I need some help please, could someone help me with linux
[00:56] <fromero69> PLEASE
[00:56] <ardchoille> whileimhere: you the one looking for an app to edit pdf's?
[00:56] <Ratinho> Hi, Somebody have experience with Ubuntu Server 8.10 and Xen?
[00:57] <Sylphid> !ask fromero69
[00:57] <whileimhere> ardchoille yeppo
[00:57] <Sylphid> !ask | fromero69
[00:57] <vigo> I dunno,,just thought a test with headphones might determine if is an output or hardware error
[00:57] <Victorix> please i have a simple question
[00:57] <ardchoille> whileimhere: apt-cache search pdfedit
[00:57] <Victorix> can i install xubuntu on my laptop Toshiba tecra 8100 PIII 128 Mo ?
[00:57] <fromero69> I get error: brokencount>0
[00:57] <Victorix> if yes how
[00:57] <kitche> whileimhere: no such program is made yet I believe but since pdf is a open standard I m sure there will be one at one point
[00:57] <skandlous> <---- noob alert... this is my first linux computer and ubuntu was recommended to me. i went to download it and i want to knoiw if i can run the iso file straight up when it finishes
[00:57] <ardchoille> !info pdfedit
[00:57] <whileimhere> LOL okay i will stick to the adobe product for now then.
[00:58] <Sylphid> fromero69, that doesnt tell anyone anything... what are you trying to do ... what program is it erroring on... we need something more to get an idea of where you having problems
[00:58] <nightrid3r> skandlous: burn the iso IMAGE to cd end reboot
[00:59] <kitche> ardchoille: yeah it's a bit limited it seems compared to adobe's at least last time I knew
[00:59] <fromero69> I am trying to run the package manager and it says error:brokencount>0
[00:59] <skandlous> nightrid3r: are there any downloadable executables that i dont have to burn first
[00:59] <ardchoille> kitche: Ah, ok. I used it once and it seemed ok, but I didn't get too deep into the app
[00:59] <nightrid3r> skandlous: no all you need is in the iso
[00:59] <Ratinho> anybody use xen in Ubuntu Server 8.10 that can help me?
[00:59] <nightrid3r> skandlous: remember to burn as an image, not as data dsik
[01:00] <outofthemadness> Schuenemann: maybe try adjusting the PCM volume
[01:00] <fromero69>  I am trying to run the package manager and it says error:brokencount>0
[01:00] <Victorix> Please can i install xubuntu on my laptop Toshiba tecra 8100 PIII 128 Mo ?
[01:00] <Sylphid> fromero69, open synaptic and go to edit and click fix broken packages
[01:00] <bartek> Hi there, what's the proper way to  tie a command to a specific script script in a dir (i.e: /var/lib/some_script) ? Using alias in .bashrc or ?
[01:00] <outofthemadness> Schuenemann: in the volume control that is
[01:00] <vigo> frmer69: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=418182
[01:00] <skandlous> ok thanks... i need to get a burner first... running an asus eee and dont have an external cdrom yet
[01:00] <Schuenemann> outofthemadness, it's already maxed. And that distorts the sound...
[01:01] <Schuenemann> everything is maxed, actually
[01:01] <nightrid3r> Victorix: should work
[01:01] <whileimhere> I am not sure what happened but after the last few updates my wireless kicked in and has been working without dropped signals.
[01:01] <fromero69> this is my 3rd day using linux so I dont know much about anything. i tried to use synaptic manager but I got this  messageE: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:01] <fromero69> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[01:01] <nightrid3r> whileimhere: the magic of updates :)
[01:02] <jtaji> bartek: I'd put a link to it in a directory already in your path, like /usr/local/bin
[01:02] <bartek> jtaji: good idea! thanks
[01:02] <Sylphid> fromero69, Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[01:02] <nightrid3r> fromero69: open a terminal and type in the dpkg..... command
[01:02] <Sylphid> fromero69, then type sudo dpkg --configure -a
[01:02] <fromero69> okay ill do that
[01:03] <outofthemadness> Schuenemann, that's all I've got to suggest. I had that same problem, but that's how I solved it. My PCM volume was too high... IIRC there is a linux audio channel on freenode. I might suggest trying there
[01:03] <linxeh> are there any tools that can take a pdf and reencode all the images to a particular dpi/resolution/size?
[01:03] <Newfie_rich> Hey all, just wondering what is the command to compile a java program in terminal?
[01:03] <linxeh> outofthemadness: #lad / #lau
[01:03] <echo_> Hello! What is a good GUI Ubuntu program for archives?
[01:03] <fromero69> okay I entered that command and now it's back at the promtp frank@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[01:03] <fromero69> [sudo] password for frank:

[01:04] <PixelBitch> Ooops
[01:04] <linxeh> gonewestcoast: it is justintime compiled
[01:04] <PixelBitch> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[01:04] <weed37> hi guys i use rapidshare for dling all my stuff and use the rs manager i just installed ubuntu on my sony vaio latop aand am used to vista or xp i was wondering if there is an app like rs manager i can use for getting my liles in linux
[01:04] <fromero69> okay sorry
[01:04] <whileimhere> Is the XFCE desktop really lighter on the system than GNOME?
[01:04] <eseven73> echo_: archiver, fileroller maybe
[01:04] <skandlous> new question but not ubuntu specific: if updates fail to install is that because they dont pertain to my current distro and or system reqa
[01:04] <Newfie_rich> gonewestcoast: ok but do you know how to compile java code?
[01:05] <nightrid3r> whileimhere: yes it is
[01:05] <linxeh> whileimhere: yes. I know someone using it on a p200
[01:05] <gonewestcoast> Newfie_rich: Apparently not. :-p
[01:05] <eseven73> whileimhere: yes but xfce is getting more bloated every day
[01:05] <echo_> Hello. What's good software for ZIP and RAR files? Right out of the box, I can't extract anything, it says unknown archive so I guess I need better software. Anyone?
[01:05] <linxeh> Newfie_rich: you use javac to compile the code to java bytecode (for the vm). the JVM then compiles it to native code or interprets it.
[01:05] <whileimhere> On a p2 wowo
[01:05] <eseven73> whileimhere: if you really want something lightweight, try fluxbox
[01:05] <fromero69> I ran the command sudo dpkg --configure a
[01:05] <h4mx0r> whileimhere: or lxde its pretty nice
[01:05] <nightrid3r> echo_: rar is in the repo's
[01:05] <weed37> hi guys i use rapidshare for dling all my stuff and use the rs manager i just installed ubuntu on my sony vaio latop aand am used to vista or xp i was wondering if there is an app like rs manager i can use for getting my liles in linux
[01:05] <linxeh> whileimhere: p1, 200mhz :)
[01:05] <whileimhere> eseven73 I have tried it but my wireless was not there.
[01:06] <Sylphid> fromero69, run synaptic now ... should be fine
[01:06] <fromero69> k
[01:06] <whileimhere> a p1 linxeh? WOWW
[01:06] <linxeh> Newfie_rich: you can in theory compile java to native code completely, but it is completely going against the whole point of the language. you should have used C.
[01:06] <rxs> Hi! how do i disable xv output and change it to X11 in gstreamer. Using ubuntu 8.04 and xserver-xorg-video-ati
[01:06] <echo_> nightrid3r, I don't know what that means. Repo's?
[01:06] <h4mx0r> whileimhere: your wireless can be setup manually in /etc/network/interfaces then just ifdown wlan0 and ifup wlan0 or whatever it is called if not wlan0
[01:06] <eseven73> whileimhere: yep no panel icons or menus really :) that's what makes it lightweight
[01:06] <whileimhere> Ahh but I am lazy and like some things auto.
[01:06] <nightrid3r> echo_: use synaptic and search for rar
[01:06] <whileimhere> ;)
[01:07] <powertool08> Does anyone know of a program to create cd labels (for cd itself not case) specifically with the memorex template WL-OL5025
[01:07] <Newfie_rich> linxeh thanks for your help that all i needed to know
[01:07] <echo_> nightrid3r, I am doing that, however nothing is GUI based (well, the last couple I've tried at least.)
[01:07] <matrim26> can anyone help with a printer issue? I'm on a windows network, and I'm trying to access a network printer. I got through the printer config stuff, and then it asked me for the "Password for root on localhost". Now, I know there is none set. Is there some way to get around that? Or something specific I'm supposed to put in?
[01:07] <fromero69> wow thank you so much
[01:07] <fromero69> it was such a simple fix lol
[01:07] <h4mx0r> whileimhere: to get your wireless up in fluxbox you have to edit its startup file and do wirelessprogramthing & then next line have exec fluxbox
[01:07] <powertool08> matrim26: Try your username/pass
[01:07] <nightrid3r> echo_: its for a server ?
[01:07] <eseven73> whileimhere: lightweight window mangers can run things automatically too, but you have to edit a file
[01:08] <eseven73> seems me and h4mx0r are on the same page :)
[01:08] <echo_> nightrid3r, no, it's not for a server.
[01:08] <h4mx0r> whileimhere: try doing leafpad ~/.fluxbox/startup
[01:08] <matrim26> powertool08: tried it, didn't work
[01:08] <marabout> !HFS
[01:08] <powertool08> matrim26: Try localhost:631, maybe you can set it there somewhere
[01:09] <nightrid3r> echinos: hmmm arch should use rar to open the files
[01:09] <skandlous> if an update fails installation repeatedly does that just mean it doesnt apply to my system
[01:09] <matrim26> powertool08: as the username or password?
[01:09] <Ratinho> IF somebody use XEN virtualization on ubuntu server 8.10 please private-me
[01:09] <linxeh> Newfie_rich: the article in wikipedia on java is quite good
[01:09] <rxs> Hi! how do i disable xv output and change it to X11 in gstreamer. Using ubuntu 8.04 and cannot find gstreamer-properties
[01:09] <h4mx0r> eseven73: yeah, I usually use fluxbox but been loving lxde. Tried playing some yesterday with xmonad but its bit confusing and restrictive in ways
[01:09] <eseven73> h4mx0r: lol i just installed lxde last night, its ok i guess. but i love my fluxbox :)
[01:09] <powertool08> matrim26: No, in a browser, go to localhost:631 to get to the cups web interface
[01:09] <h4mx0r> rxs: what's xv output?
[01:10] <nightrid3r> skandlous: could be or maybe there was an update done from source
[01:10] <whileimhere> There used to be a pacman screensaver in the xscreensavers anyone know where it is now?
[01:10] <echo_> nightrid3r, Karchiver looks promising, I'm going to try that.
[01:10] <h4mx0r> eseven73: hey I got a question for you which do you prefer conky or gkrellem?
[01:10] <eseven73> conky is good, havent had much time with gkrellem
[01:10] <nightrid3r> echo_: that should work together with rar
[01:11] <h4mx0r> eseven73: i heard there was something else called xmodbar but it isn't in the repos perhaps renamed with some other tools
[01:11] <rxs> h4mx0r: i really dunno exactly .. but I know that my driver supports only one xv port for video and I would love to use x11 output with software scaling
[01:11] <echo_> It appears it works with all typical archives. I am extracting a DVD movie image, what is good burning software?
[01:11] <mrwes> echo_: K3b
[01:12] <echo_> mrwes, thank-you.
[01:12] <mrwes> nod
[01:12] <h4mx0r> rxs: so umm what you trying to do with that then?
[01:12] <eseven73> h4mx0r: yeah i donno, im on my Fedora box at the moment so i couldnt check :)
[01:12] <skandlous> thanks night
[01:12] <mike12> hey does anyone know how to free up space
[01:12] <h4mx0r> eseven73: do you know how to get battery status and thermal temperatures listed in conky? I use a laptop and it would be helpful
[01:12] <ogre> i setup gnomenu and have an extra icon on there I want to get rid of. its that ubuntu one at the bottom of gnomenu. http://img49.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot4fv8.png
[01:12] <wyoung> yes | rm -fr /
[01:13] <rxs> h4mx0r: okay .. let me put it this way .. I really dont care what gstreamer uses, as I dont use any app that works directly with it ... I use xfce and mplayer for my needs .. but then skype has a gstreamer dependency and uses xv for video output ... but can also use X11
[01:13] <jtaji> !danger
[01:13] <eseven73> h4mx0r: that requires lm-sensors and a good .conky script
[01:13] <wyoung> yes I wouldnt run that command btw
[01:13] <ogre> h4mx0r,  its really personal pref. i prefer conky myself
[01:13] <wyoung> but that is a way to free some space
[01:13] <h4mx0r> ogre: right click the button and select edit menu should be option to delete the ubuntu thing
[01:13] <mike12> ok
[01:14] <eseven73> wyoung: that is not helpful at all. :/
[01:14] <jtaji> wyoung: it's a way to destroy your system, please don't give that sort of advice here
[01:14] <TheFunkbomb> good evening
[01:14] <nubuntu> hello
[01:14] <wyoung> eseven73: it is if you are in a root shell
[01:14] <rxs> h4mx0r: in mplayer I use X11 with zoom enabled for watching videos .. I have long forgotten about gnome and gstreamer ... and I remember a command called gstreamer-properties  .. it used to work in 7.10 .. but then ... now .. I kind of find nothing similar
[01:14] <eseven73> no its not
[01:14] <mrwes> wyoung: with the / and blow away everything? sigh...
[01:14] <eseven73> stop suggesting it
[01:14] <TheFunkbomb> how can I make VLC my default movie player instead of the stock 8.10 player? (totem?)
[01:14] <whileimhere> The Ubuntu thang is a funky thang that none should delete.
[01:14] <h4mx0r> rxs: so is skype not playing or is there an error? does it have something to do with not being able to run other sound apps while listening to voice?
[01:14] <wyoung> ok
[01:15] <h4mx0r> eseven73: ah lm-sensors I forgot all about those thanks
[01:15] <mike12> hey is there anything i can delete to free up space
[01:15] <kinja-sheep> TheFunkbomb: Right-click on the video file and go to the properties to change "Open with..."
[01:15] <mike12> it keeps sayin somethin is full
[01:15] <linxeh> are there any tools that can take a pdf and reencode all the images to a particular dpi/resolution/size?
[01:15] <powertool08> mike12: anything you aren't using
[01:15] <TheFunkbomb> kinja-sheep, beautiful
[01:15] <TheFunkbomb> thanks
[01:15] <nightrid3r> wyoung: stop getting linux info from bash.org
[01:15] <rxs> h4mx0r: its not about voice .. its about the video ... if it uses the xv output .. i cannot have both my video and the other parties video .. I would love to use X11 w/ scaling and be able to see that
[01:15] <eseven73> h4mx0r: yw
[01:15] <mike12> im can delete everything
[01:15] <jtaji> mike12: 'sudo aptitude clean' will clear out the package cache in /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:16] <mike12> i just wanna like reset the computer
[01:16] <kinja-sheep> mike12: Try sudo rm -rf * /tmp && sudo aptitude autoclean
[01:16] <wyoung> nightrid3r: xkcd actually :
[01:16] <ogre> h4mx0r,  any idea where the tick box for that icon is?
[01:16] <mankash> anybody know about hostpad module
[01:16] <mike12> do i just look for that in a folder
[01:16] <TheFunkbomb> kinja-sheep, that doesn't make it the default player though, does it?
[01:16] <rxs> h4mx0r: I have complete control on my sound w/ alsa ( not a big fan of pulse .. though I have read the white papers and I am impressed with teh sliding window approach )
[01:16] <templaedhel> when I run tremulous its all slow when you go into a server it totally freezes
[01:16] <kinja-sheep> mike12: Run it in the terminal.
[01:17] <DevilDoc5> someone got time for a person considering "the switch"
[01:17] <mike12> ok just type sudo
[01:17] <wyoung> DevilDoc5: ok, fire away
[01:17] <kinja-sheep> mike12: Run in the terminal --> sudo rm -rf * /tmp && sudo aptitude autoclean
[01:17] <h4mx0r> rxs: yeah i'm using pulse with 8.10, is it possible to hear multiple sound streams or do I have to switch back to alsa.
[01:17] <mike12> ok thanks
[01:17] <h4mx0r> rxs: about your problem though why do you say your limited to only one output?
[01:17] <wyoung> lol
[01:17] <michal_> exit
[01:18] <h4mx0r> michal_: try ctrl + c
[01:18] <rxs> h4mx0r: xvinfo | grep ports says 1
[01:18] <michal_> thx
[01:18] <DevilDoc5> I was wondering, as I seem to have tethered myself to "the beast" via various games and applications, is there a (preferably) free accurate windoze replicator that will allow me to still play my games and such?
[01:18] <rxs> h4mx0r: now that sucks .. as I can have only one xv playing at the same time :(
[01:18] <kinja-sheep> I think I just sent mike12 to his death.
[01:18] <h4mx0r> rxs: wow.. mine says 32
[01:18] <Vantrax> DevilDoc5, Look at Wine, but it wont play everything
[01:18] <ogre> kinja-sheep,  i saw that.
[01:18] <Vantrax> !wine | DevilDoc5
[01:18] <DevilDoc5> cool thanks will check it out
[01:19] <gianluigi> Salve a tutti!
[01:19] <nightrid3r> DevilDoc5: games are problematic but some apps may run under wine
[01:19] <wyoung> DevilDoc5: wine is in the right direction
[01:19] <h4mx0r> DevilDoc5: also look at winetricks, playonlinux, and the ubuntu forums advanced wine section. They help a lot
[01:19] <Vantrax> DevilDoc5, put it this way, not everything works, but the Orangebox does
[01:19] <Vantrax> so did Doom3
[01:19] <wyoung> DevilDoc5: or you can buy vmware with opengl support
[01:19] <DevilDoc5> also how about YIM?  Preferably with Webcam support as I need this for my business dealings
[01:19] <rxs> h4mx0r: what graphics card do u have ? I am long time ubuntu user ( feel ashamed to say that as I cant find gstreamer settings .. )
[01:19] <kitche> Vantrax: why would you use Doom3 with wine just use native Doom3 :)
[01:19] <wyoung> DevilDoc5: but legally you still need a windows licence to run windows in a vm
[01:19] <kinja-sheep> ogra: My mistake.  Shouldn't have the wildcard in it.  At least he's freeing up some spaces. :|
[01:20] <DevilDoc5> I was actually talking about Combat arms and BF2
[01:20] <templaedhel> ANYONE???? TREMULOUS CRASHES X
[01:20] <Vantrax> kitche, native doom3 came out after
[01:20] <rxs> h4mx0r: I have a ati x300 .. the worst of the lot and have struggled with it for over 3 years ... mostly with the ati-fglrx driver .. but then ... now with the open source and xrandr I have better control
[01:20] <wyoung> yim?
[01:20] <DevilDoc5> I still have windows licenses from old comps, that are unused, those should work no?
[01:20] <CrocoJet> Ubuntu make use dual channel memory ?
[01:20] <Vantrax> DevilDoc5, BF2 works in wine
[01:20] <DevilDoc5> Yahoo Instant Messenger
[01:20] <Vantrax> CrocoJet, yes
[01:20] <kitche> CrocoJet: yes if your system handles dual channel memory
[01:20] <kinja-sheep> TheFunkbomb: Yes -- It does make it the default player.
[01:20] <h4mx0r> rxs: I don't use gstreamer much myself either Iike using smplayer a bit though. I have a nvidia 7600 go. Yeah ati is like that they just cheat to beat benchmarks no real settings though and most only play at max performance
[01:20] <DevilDoc5> awesome thank you
[01:21] <nightrid3r> CrocoJet: your motherboard does
[01:21] <TheFunkbomb> kinja-sheep, okay, thanks
[01:21] <CrocoJet> do you have idea % performance .. single channel and dual channel ?
[01:21] <wyoung> CrocoJet: that is up to your motherboard
[01:21] <CrocoJet> ok
[01:21] <DevilDoc5> thank you all very much for your help this evening
[01:21] <kinja-sheep> TheFunkbomb: And if you happen to run a different file that opens up the different player -- Name it to VLC -- Because of different in filenames extension + possible formats.
[01:21] <wyoung> CrocoJet: te os doesnt have control over that
[01:21] <rxs> h4mx0r: anyway .. I dont want to install gnome ( cant stand metacity ! ) .. so do you know how I can invole gstreamer-properties in 8.04 ?
[01:21] <ogre> i setup gnomenu and have an extra icon on there I want to get rid of. its that ubuntu one at the bottom of gnomenu. http://img49.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot4fv8.png I am in "edit menus" and cannot find which icon it is
[01:21] <h4mx0r> rxs: what driver you using for it though? the proprietary one recently was released as open source and they have been integrated some
[01:22] <h4mx0r> well not recently actually quite a while back
[01:22] <rxs> the open source
[01:22] <CrocoJet> ok, thanks for information !
[01:22] <rxs> h4mx0r: the open source one
[01:22] <h4mx0r> rxs: why can't you just install gstreamer without gnome? I mean even xubuntu and kubuntu use it for some things.
[01:23] <kinja-sheep> ogre: Seems like it's in the theme you used....
[01:23] <Vantrax> you need all the dependancies h4mx0r
[01:23] <rxs> h4mx0r: yes I did install all the stuff but still cant find the settings manager !
[01:23] <fromero69> hi it's me again fomero69, I have downloaded Ubuntu to msi wind, and there are a few problems that I need help with
[01:23] <Vantrax> fromero69, grats
[01:23] <h4mx0r> rxs: didn't know there was a manager app for it
[01:23] <ogre> kinja-sheep,  yeah so i can just edit it in the theme then?
[01:23] <rxs> h4mx0r: did a aptitude install gstreamer*
[01:23] <fromero69> I help resolving the suspension problem with the msi wind
[01:23] <kitche> h4mx0r: huh the open source driver is not the same as proprietary for ati really
[01:23] <rxs> h4mx0r: what version of ubuntu do you use ?
[01:24] <h4mx0r> fromero69: what's msi wind?
[01:24] <kinja-sheep> ogre: I'm not expert.  If you can.  Sure.  I suppose you should try renaming the icon (to something else) and it may disappear.
[01:24] <fromero69> it's a netbook no cd rom
[01:24] <h4mx0r> kitche: yeah they are both a bit different
[01:24] <rxs> h4mx0r: come to think o it .. they did some stuff with gnome and integrating all gnome stuff into some settings thing ... lemme look around for a sec
[01:24] <fromero69> everything works fine, I just need to run some codes in the terminal but I cant see to make it work
[01:24] <ogre> kinja-sheep,  ill give it a go. i think i can fix it
[01:25] <kinja-sheep> ogra: Alright.  Good luck.  :)
[01:25] <h4mx0r> rxs: I'm on 8.10 right now. Thinking about reformatting though I've messed up this laptop so much lol. And it would be nice to have a separate /home incase I want to multi boot other systems
[01:25] <fromero69> I found the solution but I just cant make it work for some reason here's the link
[01:25] <fromero69> http://wiki.msiwind.net/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04_Tweaks
[01:26] <rxs> h4mx0r: yes... a separate /home  is the bets way
[01:26] <Vantrax> fromero69, suspend is a common problem across linux in laptops
[01:26] <fromero69> oh really
[01:26] <rxs> h4mx0r: come to think of it ... i have not changed my home .. may be deleted a few configs over time .. but from 6.04 ... its been the same home
[01:26] <fromero69> why would that be? is because of linux and the programming?
[01:26] <Vantrax> fromero69, are you using 8.10 or 8.04
[01:27] <h4mx0r> fromero69: not really a problem just a lot of people whom know the word suspend also know enough tech to whine like a newbie :/
[01:27] <fromero69> I am using 8.10 and I have found the solution on the website http://wiki.msiwind.net/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04_Tweaks I just cant make it work for some reason
[01:27] <rxs> h4mx0r: dont have the patience to download 8 GB of mail :)
[01:27] <fromero69> hahaha like me you mean lol
[01:28] <nightrid3r> fromero69: the instructions are for 8.04
[01:28] <tester_> I am programming on linux and need to get my program work to have access to some files which require sudo, so right now I use with gksudo and it works okay, is there way to create a shorcut or something to di it
[01:28] <fromero69> yeah I guess that is the problem
[01:28] <tester_> I do not want a user to do that ever time he/she uses the app
[01:28] <fromero69> I figured it should still be the same
[01:28] <fromero69> so I just need to find something for ubuntu 8.10
[01:28] <james_> Does anyone have experience recovering files from NTFS partitions?
[01:29] <rxs> how do i invoke gnome prefernces using command line ?
[01:29] <gonewestcoast> james_: More than I'd like.
[01:29] <tester_> james_ how bad is it
[01:29] <wyoung> james_: not in ubuntu
[01:29] <fabos> ??
[01:29] <h4mx0r> tester_: umm use sudo or drop privileges
[01:29] <fabos> bonsoir
[01:29]  * fabos est content
[01:29] <rxs> !gstreamer-preferences
[01:29] <h4mx0r> tester_: I use kismet a bit and it requires partial root access maybe try a similar method
[01:29] <eseven73> !fr
[01:29] <tester_> h4mx0r, I am using gksudo right now, was hoping there was a way to create a shortcut or something
[01:29] <james_> gonewestcoast: business MYOB accounting files, all gone
[01:29] <fabos> join #ubuntu-fr
[01:30] <nightrid3r> fromero69: going for 8.04 can keep you out of the upgrade cycle for a longer time so this might be a wise choice
[01:30] <tester_> maybe we will be write a simple shell script
[01:30] <eseven73> fabos: its /join
[01:30] <gonewestcoast> gonewestcoast: Gone how?
[01:30] <gonewestcoast> Er.
[01:30] <gonewestcoast> james_: Gone how?  Baleeted?
[01:30] <Sylphid> how do i make my terminal flash?
[01:30] <rxs> has gstreamer-properties been discontinued from 8.04 ? if so how does one set the gstreamer properties .. particularly video output
[01:30] <kinja-sheep> I think I'm experiencing a filezilla bug.  <_<
[01:30] <fromero69> yeah I see
[01:31] <james_> gonewestcoast: A friend accidently deleted them with a program called CCleaner
[01:31] <gonewestcoast> james_: Okay, this isn't even remotely covered under Ubuntu.  Go talk to #windows about it.
[01:31] <fromero69> I have no cd rom so I used wubi to install the software and it just installed ubuntu 8.10
[01:32] <h4mx0r> fromero69: dont' use wubi get a usb to install ubuntu there is simple app for it
[01:32] <james_>  gonewestcoast: okey doke, thanks
[01:32] <nightrid3r> fromero69: get an usb dvd drive and use that
[01:32] <h4mx0r> fromero69: use this program http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html
[01:32] <eseven73> !unetbootin
[01:32] <fromero69> okay thank you
[01:32] <eseven73> bah
[01:33] <h4mx0r> fromero69: wubi would be translating the ntfs to a native linux file system and slow things a tiny bit on disk access
[01:33] <tester_> man how do I automate gksudo
[01:33] <fromero69> thank you very much
[01:33] <tester_> it still prompts me to select an app to run
[01:33] <fromero69> everyone thank you!
[01:34] <tester_> Is there a separate forum for programming questions on linux?
[01:34] <h4mx0r> eseven73: they should add that program to ubottu its very nice. burning cds is so obsolete.
[01:35] <eseven73> h4mx0r: yeah good idea
[01:35] <Sylphid> tester_, your best of asking in a forum for the language you are coding in
[01:35] <ninjabuntu> When in a Terminal I want to be able to type the command "clear" to also be usable with the command "cls" I sure that can be accomplished with a custom Linking so something like that...
[01:35] <h4mx0r> tester_: there are lots of programming groups, and there are some bug/error channels you can keep track of. You checked launchpad yet its kind of nice
[01:35] <lolcakes> ninjabuntu: its called an alias
[01:35] <eternaljoy> I have a 1080p .mp4 file that wont play using mplayer or VLC.  Anyone know why?  It plays sound, but screen is black
[01:35] <eseven73> first the floppy drive , now cdrom goes obsolete haha, what's next.
[01:36] <kinja-sheep> !mp4
[01:36] <eternaljoy> eseven73: having a good day? :)
[01:36] <h4mx0r> ninjabuntu: set an alias for it in your .bashrc file
[01:36] <whileimhere> I know this is a dumb question but when   I am at work I use the XP program called Remote Desktop to access other computers does ubuntu have something like that and will it work with XP workstations?
[01:36] <eseven73> eternaljoy: always :)
[01:36] <ninjabuntu> lolcakes: yeah thats it... h4mx0r: now how to do that for the clear command...
[01:36] <Sylphid> ninjabuntu, alias cls='clear'
[01:36] <h4mx0r> ninjabuntu: I also set some streamed music servers in my bashrc for a few genre I like incase I get bored with cli :)
[01:36] <lolcakes> whileimhere: its Terminal Services Client in Aplications->internet
[01:37] <tekteen> eternaljoy: try to play it in mplayer using the command line and the -v and -frames 1 options. Look for errors.
[01:37] <lolcakes> Terminal Server Client*
[01:37] <whileimhere> Thanks!
[01:37] <eternaljoy> tekteen: what?
[01:37] <whileimhere> Also is there an open source Virtulization program?
[01:37] <lolcakes> yes, Virtualbox
[01:38] <tekteen> eternaljoy: your video, play it with mplayer using the terminal
[01:38] <eseven73> !virtualbox
[01:38] <nightrid3r> whileimhere: XEN
[01:38] <h4mx0r> whileimhere: yeah its called terminal server something another. Some of the clients features aren't installed by default though so if you want vnc or x11 streaming support should install those packages
[01:38] <eternaljoy> tekteen: how?
[01:38] <ninjabuntu> sylphid: so wait... I go into the folder where Clear is, and type Sudo alias cls='Clear'
[01:38] <lolcakes> ninjabuntu: edit your .bashrc
[01:38] <tekteen> eternaljoy: I do not know how to open a terminal in ubuntu
[01:38] <tekteen> !terminal | eternaljoy
[01:38] <ninjabuntu> lolcakes: the command to edit that is?
[01:38] <h4mx0r> tekteen: it is under accessories!!
[01:39] <TraceRoute> Does anyone know how i can stream movies from linux to my xbox 360?
[01:39] <lolcakes> ninjabuntu: "sudo nano ~/.bashrc"
[01:39] <eternaljoy> tekteen: ok ty
[01:39] <tekteen> h4mx0r: I am not a gnome person
[01:39] <tekteen> :-)
[01:39] <h4mx0r> tekteen: don't panic! do ctrl alt f2 if you can't find a terminal then ctrl alt f7 to get back to desktop
[01:39] <gunspoja> gday all
[01:39] <eternaljoy> !thanks | tekteen
[01:39] <ninjabuntu> lolcakes: ahhhh ok...
[01:39] <gunspoja> what is the proper procedure for removing an ubuntu installation on a dual-boot windows system?
[01:39] <h4mx0r> tekteen: I know gnome scared the heck out of me when I first used it and couldn't find a terminal
[01:39] <jtaji> lolcakes, ninjabuntu, no need for sudo to edit your own .bashrc
[01:39] <lolcakes> oh true
[01:39] <lolcakes> :P
[01:40] <h4mx0r> yeah that would make it unaccessible to your user
[01:40] <tekteen> h4mx0r: I use alt+f2 command gnome-terminal
[01:40] <tekteen> eternaljoy: ok
[01:40] <lolcakes> yeah my bad, sorry ninjabuntu
[01:40] <tekteen> eternaljoy: where is the video?
[01:41] <h4mx0r> tekteen: I think alt f2 leaves some sort of run daemon going for one reason or another
[01:41] <Sylphid> how can i make my terminal flash?
[01:41] <eternaljoy> tekteen: desktop
[01:41] <eternaljoy> tekteen: it says mplayer not installed
[01:41] <lolcakes> Sylphid: explain
[01:41] <tekteen> ok
[01:41] <lolcakes> Sylphid: you mean look fancy, or flash on and off?
[01:41] <tekteen> eternaljoy: sudo apt-get install mplayer
[01:41] <eternaljoy> Sylphid: take its trench coat off
[01:41] <h4mx0r> sylphid: umm try getting a terminal that will render a gif as its background? sounds very glitchy though
[01:41] <eternaljoy> tekteen: ok ty
[01:41] <calipso> anyone know the command to open the gnome menu editor?
[01:41] <Sylphid> lolcakes, flash on and off like an alert
[01:42] <lolcakes> calipso: right click menu -> edit menu
[01:42] <pyrophelia> when you create a 770 directory, how can you cd to it if your not part of the group or the owner?
[01:42] <calipso> lolcakes: i removed it by accident :(
[01:42] <tekteen> eternaljoy: once that is done, run the command: cd Desktop (capital D counts)
[01:42] <lolcakes> oh the command
[01:42] <lolcakes> umm
[01:42] <pio_> hey, i have a freaking problem with my built-in microphone on a asus f3jc laptop. All guide i've read so far tells me that this was a problem from ubuntu dapper and now it should works fine
[01:42] <jtaji> calipso: alacarte
[01:42] <eternaljoy> tekteen: ok
[01:42] <tekteen> eternaljoy: tell me when that is done
[01:42] <Daphko> Hallo jemand noc hda!?
[01:42] <pio_> i use intrepid and the mic does not work
[01:43] <Daphko> ohh english
[01:43] <eternaljoy> tekteen: ok brb
[01:43] <Daphko> can anybody help me to boot the ubuntu iso from my usb stick !?
[01:43] <danc3> Daphko: what would you like us to do?
[01:43] <pyrophelia> pio_, this may be a stupid question, but is the mic selected as a primary record source?
[01:43] <ninjabuntu> lolcakes: ok I entered the .bashrc then at the very bottom I entered [alias cls='clear'] with out the brackets and saved but nothing happens when I type cls and hit enter.
[01:43] <cinco29> is it easy or hard to setup ftp server on ubuntu?
[01:43] <Sylphid> lolcakes, h4mx0r im trying to have my terminal flash on an event in a custom bash script
[01:43] <danc3> cinco29: it's easy
[01:43] <pyrophelia> pio_, critical yet, often over looked option
[01:43] <kinja-sheep> ninjabuntu: source ~/.profile
[01:44] <jtaji> ninjabuntu: type 'source .bashrc' in the terminal
[01:44] <vigo> Daphko: Is USB set up as a boot thing in BIOS?
[01:44] <dstevens5833> Hi.
[01:44] <Daphko> yes
[01:44] <Daphko> i can boot from usb
[01:44] <pio_> pyrophelia, there are 5 input options, i've tried all
[01:44] <calipso> thanks jtaji and lolcakes
[01:44] <h4mx0r> cinco29: there are a lot of ftp servers, what kind you looking for? there are also other methods of transfering files like ssh or ntfs/samba which perform well in their own regards
[01:44] <lolcakes> ninjabuntu: http://wazem.blogspot.com/2007/10/how-to-create-command-alias-to-save.html
[01:44] <cinco29> okay ima search on google to find out how. i don twanna bother yall professionals:)
[01:44] <pyrophelia> pio_, what program are you using as your mixer?
[01:44] <vigo> Daphko: I am stumpered then,,let me look at the boards
[01:44] <eseven73> Sylphid: emacs does that , ifyou disable the 'bell' you can make the entire app blink/flash :)  and Emacs can run terminal stuff, mystery solved :)
[01:45] <bastid_raZor> !usb > Daphko .. the 2nd link may be what you're looking for
[01:45] <h4mx0r> Sylphid: yeah I heard you. Been waiting for someone to answer you, it sounds neat
[01:45] <pio_> the volume control that comes with intrepid
[01:45] <cinco29> well im trying to setup ftp server for my brother to access my pc and just get what ever he wanna get
[01:45] <tekteen> eternaljoy: are you almost done? having problems?
[01:45] <ninjabuntu> ok perfect... will that work from now on? or will i have to keep typing 'source .bashrc' every time I want to use that...
[01:45] <gunspoja> can I use grub to fix an error 22 with the MBR, or do I have to boot from windows cd/ubuntu livecd to fix this problem?
[01:45] <eternaljoy> tekteen: 80%
[01:45] <tekteen> ok
[01:45] <pio_> pyrophelia, also i've tried to configure using System - Preferences - Sound
[01:46] <lolcakes> ninjabuntu: .bashrc gets loaded everytime you start bash, so no
[01:46] <h4mx0r> Sylphid: I did a few kool things with eterm before like invisible terminal. Perhaps there is an option with it try doing terminal --help to see or read the man pages
[01:46] <nightrid3r> cinco29: vsftpd will do fine
[01:46] <ninjabuntu> awesome...
[01:46] <ninjabuntu> thanks guys...
[01:46] <cinco29> cool can i get that from the add software thing?
[01:46] <nightrid3r> cinco29: yes
[01:46] <pyrophelia> pio_, in the volume control window, do you see a tab called 'switches' with "Microphone capture" checked?
[01:46] <cinco29> niiice...
[01:46] <h4mx0r> cinco29: yeah I heard lot of good things about vsftpd before and ultimately decided on using it myself
[01:46] <cinco29> see i like this os so much im trying to bring him to the better side lol
[01:47] <pio_> pyrophelia, yes, but not now. It shows to me 5 sound devices, just 2 have input option
[01:47] <cinco29> h4mx0r good to know
[01:47] <h4mx0r> cinco29: why what other os you use? I feel bad for not trying out solaris or bsd :/
[01:48] <gunspoja> I followed some instructions on a forum that said to remove ubuntu from a dual-boot system you just get rid of its partitions.  turns out that doesn't work :P so now I have a grub error 22
[01:48]  * lolcakes wonders how to shot web
[01:48] <djeik> Hi, I'm installing Ubuntu on a Sony VAIO and when I get to the "Prepare partitions" screen, none of my partitions are listed and all of the buttons are grayed out except "Back" and "Forward". Why does this happen?
[01:48] <cinco29> i also have windows xp...
[01:48] <eseven73> cinco29: this ftp server not gonna be accessed from that outside world is it? If so you might want to try ssh server its more secure
[01:48] <djeik> and what do I do to fix it?
[01:48] <pyrophelia> pio_, click on preferences and make sure your microphone capture option is being displayed and checked
[01:48] <cinco29> but i have seen the light which ubuntu is
[01:48] <echo_> I can't get any software to properly unrar my RAR archive of a DVD movie. Whenever I try to unarchive it, the three different pieces of software Im using either A) say its not an archive, B) shows a very small file to extract (which isn't the whole archive, the file it shows is only 200 megs, it should be over 4 gigs) .. does anyone have any archive software they prefer?
[01:48] <lolcakes> gunspoja: boot your xp cd into recovery mode, then run "fixboot" and "fixmbr"
[01:48] <cinco29> only my brother will access it. thats all
[01:49] <gunspoja> lolcakes, ok I'll go try that.  thank you :)
[01:49] <echo_> KArchiver isn't working for me, nor is the Gnome archiver. It works under Windows so I know there is nothing wrong with the archive itself.
[01:49] <eternaljoy> tekteen: ok thanks. it plays the video now :-)
[01:49] <pio_> pyrophelia, i checked it, but does not show the volume option
[01:49] <eseven73> cinco29: ok because FTP is not encrypted :)
[01:49] <cinco29> i got you
[01:49] <bastid_raZor> cinco29; use winscp, probably safer and easier
[01:49] <tekteen> eternaljoy: mplayer worked?
[01:49] <eternaljoy> !thanks > tekteen
[01:49] <nightrid3r> djeik: probably ubuntu not recognising your sata controler
[01:49] <h4mx0r> gunspoja: umm think you have to format the mbr (master boot record) then repair it with whatever other os or boot loader you use
[01:49] <lolcakes> echo_: sounds like the archive is damaged?
[01:49] <tekteen> eternaljoy user !helpersnack
[01:49] <cinco29> i wanna see how many can i bring over to the light side and leave windowz the darkside
[01:49] <eternaljoy> tekteen: yes, cheers big ears :-)
[01:49] <eternaljoy> !helpersnack
[01:49] <pyrophelia> pio_, you know what, I have learned that I dislike this program.  install alsamixer :)
[01:49] <echo_> lolcakes, no, as it is fine via Windows.
[01:50] <djeik> nightrid3r: hmm okay, the drives show up in cfdisk... so the basic drivers seem to be working at least. is that not good enough for ubuntu?
[01:50] <cinco29> winscp is for ubuntu?
[01:50] <tekteen> eternaljoy: thanks tells me not to thank the bot
[01:50] <eternaljoy> !helpersnack | tekteen
[01:50] <lolcakes> ehco_: you you have not installed unrar
[01:50] <gunspoja> h4mx0r, actually I'd be quite happy to use grub, I don't really mind
[01:50] <pio_> pyrophelia, i checked Microphone Capture and Capture
[01:50] <lolcakes> *or
[01:50] <eternaljoy> tekteen: :-)
[01:50] <djeik> nightrid3r: so I possibly need chipset drivers?
[01:50] <pio_> pyrophelia, i ahve alsamixer installed
[01:50] <pio_> have*
[01:50] <echo_> lolcakes, I have installed Unrar.
[01:50] <bastid_raZor> cinco29; no, it will be used on the xp/vista and will be able to access your box.
[01:50] <h4mx0r> cinco29: do you and your brother share the same network? if so why not try nfs its faster. Or if its remote stuff ssh is nice if you set the encryption keys right
[01:50] <zmanning_> my text all of a sudden has huge spacing like in pdfs and certain apps! all i did was reduce the font size in Appearance.  any idea what this could be?
[01:50] <pyrophelia> pio_, use that to select your mic and turn the volume up.  it's a little bit more flexible than this app
[01:50] <cinco29> we in different states
[01:50] <eternaljoy> !helpersnack | bastid_raZor
[01:51] <lolcakes> ehco_: the free or nonfree version? the nonfree version can handle more archives
[01:51] <nightrid3r> djeik: yes but i have no idea how to fix that
[01:51] <pyrophelia> pio_, arg
[01:51] <djeik> nightrid3r: alright, thanks a lot
[01:51] <pyrophelia> ok I lied
[01:51] <pyrophelia> they changed it on me
[01:51] <Sylphid> h4mx0r, i cant remember... what is the command to search all the man pages?
[01:51] <pyrophelia> it not routes to pulse :x
[01:51] <pio_> pyrophelia, when i open, it just show speakers volume
[01:51] <pyrophelia> pio_, yea sorry about that, they changed that option in 8.10
[01:51] <echo_> lolcakes, I installed the free version.
[01:51] <vigo> Sylphid: man man
[01:51] <pyrophelia> pio_, 1 sec
[01:52] <lolcakes> echo_: try the nonfree version
[01:52] <bastid_raZor> !botabuse | eternaljoy
[01:52] <eternaljoy> !botabuse | bastid_raZor
[01:52] <h4mx0r> gunspoja: did you just reinstall grub or make any boot changes with which systems you have? if so you might need to check the config files and make sure they are pointed at the right sections of the hard drive
[01:52] <cinco29> what about gftp??
[01:52] <lolcakes> imo, the best gui ftp client for nix is FileZilla
[01:53] <pio_> pyrophelia, ok
[01:53] <h4mx0r> cinco29: different daemon and different performance specs.
[01:53] <echo_> lolcakes, after installing the non-free version 'File Roller' is now seeing it properly.
[01:53] <h4mx0r> lolcakes: yeah filezilla is very nice from what I've tried
[01:53] <cinco29> oh ok
[01:53] <eseven73> cinco29: you really need ssh server if its going to be going outside your local network
[01:53] <lolcakes> echo_: that sounds promising. is it working?
[01:53] <cinco29> okay
[01:53] <cinco29> im looking for that one right now
[01:54] <h4mx0r> eseven73: not really, but ftp is usually for sharing with lots of random people
[01:54] <eseven73> ftp isnt secure though
[01:54] <echo_> lolcakes, it is!
[01:54] <echo_> Thanks.
[01:54] <eQuk> ftp cant be very secure
[01:54] <lolcakes> echo_: welcome :)
[01:54] <h4mx0r> eseven73: torrenting > ftp bandwidth wise
[01:54] <vigo> eseven73 is absolutely correct, use SSH
[01:54] <eQuk> *cant be
[01:55] <cinco29> ok
[01:55] <eQuk> *can
[01:55] <eQuk> whay cant i type
[01:55] <eQuk> dammit..
[01:55] <fyrmedic> How do I install packages from the repo's without internet access on the target machine?
[01:55] <kinja-sheep> What's the good application that'll colorize the terminal?
[01:55] <tester_> Okay, so I have gksudo working without prompt from the terminal(NOPASSWORD in sudoer), yeah it is the worst idea ever, but I need this. But now wen I run the same command via shell script it still asking for password and a prompt comes up, is there some I need to do in the script?
[01:55] <nightrid3r> fyrmedic: apt-oncd
[01:55] <pyrophelia> pio_, do you have the capture tab present in your Volume control window?
[01:56] <kinja-sheep> tester_: Just a thought.  Try removing sudo from your script.
[01:56] <pio_> pyrophelia, Recording Tab
[01:56] <kinja-sheep> tester_: It is likely that it didn't ask you for the password in first place because of 15-minutes window.
[01:56] <pyrophelia> pio_, yea, go to preferences and make sure it's checked.  it's between "Playback" and "switches" It seems that mic's are muted and input volume set to 0% by default
[01:57] <fyrmedic> nightrid3r; thanks I'll give it a try. Do you know if restricted hardware drivers are on it?
[01:57] <tester_> No still asking, but from terminal it works okay
[01:57] <tester_> so when I type gksudo myapp.exe, it works, but exact same from shell ask for promt
[01:57] <nightrid3r> fyrmedic: it will have whatever you want on them
[01:57] <fyrmedic> thanks.
[01:57] <cinco29> the name of the proggy im looking for is called,... ssh server?
[01:58] <nightrid3r> cinco29: yes
[01:58] <kinja-sheep> cinco29: What are you trying to do?
[01:58] <rww> !info ssh-server | cinco29
[01:58] <pio_> pyrophelia, hmm, i unmute it. When I reopen the app it's muted again :S
[01:58] <nightrid3r> cinco29: try sshd
[01:58] <kinja-sheep> !info openssh-server | cinco29
[01:58] <kinja-sheep> :O
[01:58] <eseven73> cinco29: http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=536
[01:58] <rww> kinja-sheep: there we go. I always forget the "open" :O
[01:59] <cinco29> thank you
[01:59] <dmi3on> hi all, i dont know exactly what i need and how to do it i have at work win vista and home ubuntu how do i set up ubuntu so i can control vista at office (in office computer just connect to a router no server)
[01:59] <kinja-sheep> rww: Any chance you know a nice package that will colorize the ascii output in the terminal?
[02:00] <tester_> Why, why why, it works from terminal and not from shell script... I am newbie that is why for sure....but why...
[02:00] <rww> kinja-sheep: output from an ssh session, or in general? because stuff like ls is colorized automatically for me...
[02:00] <kinja-sheep> !info tsclient | dmi3on
[02:00] <kinja-sheep> Bla.  Wrong one.
[02:00] <kinja-sheep> rww: General.  Take a look at supercat. ;)
[02:01] <vigo> kinja-sheep: remote dektop thingy?
[02:01] <eseven73> dmi3on: tightvnc maybe (assuming you or your boss will open the port for the work computer)
[02:01] <nightrid3r> dmi3on: you have to configure your router to forward the ports to your windows pc
[02:01] <eseven73> which i think is 5900-5901
[02:01] <dmi3on> :(
[02:01] <eQuk> ignor me, testing colours
[02:01] <tester_> Why, why why, it works from terminal and not from shell script... I am newbie that is why for sure....but why...
[02:01] <h4mx0r> kinja-Sheep umm the coloring is set in your .bashrc perhaps you edited it some how
[02:02] <kinja-sheep> vigo: for dmi3on.  Not you.
[02:02] <pyrophelia> pio_, mine seems to record with or without it so I'm not sure :x
[02:02] <dmi3on> is there any way to do it with out configuring router ?>
[02:02] <vigo> Okay
[02:02] <pyrophelia> pio_, ask your question again maybe somebody with a bit more xp can help :(
[02:02] <h4mx0r> tester_: ?
[02:02] <nightrid3r> dmi3on: no
[02:02] <eseven73> dmi3on: nope
[02:02] <tester_> Okay, so I have gksudo working without prompt from the terminal(NOPASSWORD in sudoer), yeah it is the worst idea ever, but I need this. But now wen I run the same command via shell script it still asking for password and a prompt comes up, is there some I need to do in the script?
[02:02] <kinja-sheep> rww: Yes, the color worked for ls -al, because of the profile/bashrc.  However, I'm looking for much more colors.  htop (better than ps).... and... You know.  Let me find you a link.
[02:03] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: you can do a reverse connection
[02:03] <nightrid3r> dmi3on: unless there is a vpn server
[02:03] <pio_> pyrophelia, it almost worked
[02:03] <dmi3on> its just big router for like 16 computers
[02:03] <Jpdota> hey i'm in intrepid and i'm thinking about upgrading my laptop's hard drive, what's a good way to get info about the connection my laptop uses to the hard drive?
[02:03] <kinja-sheep> rww: Example in Gentoo's using supercat -- http://supercat.nosredna.net/html-example-spc.html
[02:03] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: I'd suggest nx or vnc reverse connection to home
[02:04] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: its not a very good fix but would give you a graphical remote desktop
[02:04] <dmi3on> what it means reverse connection ?
[02:04] <tester_> some suggest me something as well, I am a good person too, I do go to church ever now and then
[02:05] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: it means the system behind the firewall connects outside to the other system
[02:05] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: rather than you connecting into the server the server connects to the client
[02:05] <nightrid3r> dmi3on: the most important question is "will your boss allow this"
[02:05] <lolcakes> tester_: any reason why you need to use gksudo?
[02:06] <lolcakes> tester_: why not normal sudo?
[02:06] <tester_> it is a gui app
[02:06]  * odium1 puzzled
[02:06] <dmi3on> yes, just i dont want touch router because if some thing will stop working i will be first who to blame :)
[02:06] <quinten> hey, i had network-manager installed. i just removed it and i set up the network using /etc/networks/interfaces
[02:06] <tester_> quinten you are hardcore now
[02:06] <dmi3on> so i need do it with out touching router
[02:06] <lolcakes> tester_: but you're running it from a shell script? you can use normal sudo in the shell script, it doesnt matter what type of app it is
[02:06] <quinten> i want to make sure that the networks start up before a particular service. anything else i need to check?
[02:06] <pio_> I have a problem with my built-in mic. I use intrepid on Asus f3jc laptop. The input volume it's too low, i badly hear my voice
[02:07] <tester_> what is gksudo for then
[02:07] <h4mx0r> pio_: have you turned it up with alsamixer?
[02:07] <lolcakes> tester_: a graphical interface for sudo
[02:07] <tester_> please ignore, I will check online
[02:07] <tester_> wow, thats it
[02:07] <pio_> h4mx0r, yes
[02:07] <tester_> I thought it had something to do with gdm/x
[02:07] <lolcakes> tester_: otherwise little terminals would pop up when you try and make system changes with gui apps
[02:07] <nightrid3r> dmi3on: then the reverse thing is the way to go
[02:07] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[02:08] <lolcakes> lol
[02:08] <lolcakes> then im completely wrong
[02:08] <pio_> h4mx0r, with the volume control that comes with intrepid i couldn't get it to work
[02:08] <TraceRoute> yay streaming media to xbox is even easier than on windows =)
[02:08] <dmi3on> h4mx0r, how hard is to set up nx or vnc reverse to set up ? i need to run one only one program in vista from ubuntu thats all
[02:08] <tester_> jackPsparrow thanks
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[02:08] <quinten> in old versions of debian, usually networks would all be up well before the graphical desktop. i don't want to break anything, but i need that to be the case for my setup
[02:08] <tester_> So back to my question then, how to run gksudo from a shell command or desktop shortcut
[02:08] <quinten> i'm assuming that was changed to make a faster bootup
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !startup
[02:08] <rootid> just use the Package Manager
[02:09] <Rohan_SM> Hello ppl How do I update this OS ? I just installed Ubuntu Ibex
[02:09] <tester_> All I want is a user should be able to run the app without having to type password
[02:09] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: try this http://www.nomachine.com/ just set the vista machine as server and have it connect out to you every 10-20  minutes or so then you run the client at home and get a nicely compressed remote desktop
[02:09] <tester_> Rohan, synaptic
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> ubottu, Getting a script to run at boot before login: Put it in you ~/.bashrc. Something like: export PATH=$PATH:~/bin ...
[02:09] <cinco29> lmfao
[02:09] <shiloh7> Vista?????? didnt think that word was allowed in here
[02:10] <lolcakes> tester_: "Why is it an issue? Well, to be perfectly honest, most of the time it isn't.". Id just run with sudo unless its causing problems
[02:10] <lolcakes> if it works
[02:10] <tester_> or apt-get if you are hardcorecakes, it does not
[02:10] <tester_> I tried and I got an error
[02:10] <lolcakes> ohk
[02:10] <Rohan_SM> Pardon me but I dont understand how to pick important updates of ubuntu. Do I need to mark them manuly or they will be auto marked ?
[02:10] <pio_> h4mx0r, with the volume control that comes with intrepid i couldn't get it to work. Using alsamixer i can hear a bit of recorded sound with my mic.
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> tester add the app/command to sudoers
[02:10] <rootid> auto
[02:11] <tester_> sparrow I did, NoPASSWORD:ALL
[02:11] <nightrid3r> Rohan_SM: use synaptic
[02:11] <shiloh7> apt-get isnt hard core, its linux
[02:11] <dmi3on> h4mx0r, thx  how save is it ?
[02:11] <tester_> shiloh, why do that when there is a GUI
[02:11] <lolcakes> shiloh7: no, its debian package management. linux is the kernel
[02:11] <Jack_Sparrow> lolcakes, Dont run gui apps with sudo, it will come back and bite you eventually
[02:11] <Rohan_SM> Yes I have opened it
[02:11] <quinten> alternatively, how can i make a service depend on another one? i'm not that familiar with upstart...
[02:11] <tester_> Sparrow, it already did bite me
[02:11] <nightrid3r> Rohan_SM: now klick on mark updates
[02:12] <Jack_Sparrow> tester_, You dont want to set it like that for all apps.
[02:12] <nightrid3r> Rohan_SM: then klick apply
[02:12] <shiloh7> tester, because i like using terminal
[02:12] <snarkster> !dualboot
[02:12] <Etherael> hey guys, does anyone know how to assign some labelling system to your workspaces to keep track of it, like mentally I use a workspace for coding, a workspace for recreation, workspace for blahblah, is there anyway to actually get them labelled this way so you can quick switch to workspaces based on what you're looking for rather than scrolling through them and seeing what's running and figuring it out from there or trying to memorise wh
[02:12] <Etherael> at number is what?
[02:13] <Rohan_SM> I clicked mark updates couple of times but apply button is still greyed
[02:13] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: the only problem is if your ip changes but if on the client side at home you install this other app it reports to a static site online what your ip is so the server connects to that server to see where you are
[02:13] <pio_> With the volume control that comes with intrepid i couldn't get my microphone to work. Using alsamixer i can hear a bit of recorded sound with my mic, but it's too low. I use intrepid on a Asus f3jc laptop, any ideas??
[02:13] <tester_> Sparrow I do
[02:13] <lolcakes> Etherael: yes, right click->preferences and give them names
[02:13] <tester_> security is no concern for me
[02:13] <tester_> it is either this, or enabling root account login
[02:14] <shiloh7> pio_, did you use mic boost in alsa?
[02:14] <xMopx> Would backing up a Ubuntu partition with partimage then restoring it later on, work?
[02:14] <Etherael> lolcakes, When I right click prefs all I get the option for is "columns and rows"
[02:14] <dmi3on> h4mx0r, what other application ?
[02:14] <Jack_Sparrow> tester_, You just want all users to be able to install apps? With synaptic
[02:14] <tester_> xMopx, try clonezilla
[02:14] <Etherael> if you mean in the workspace switcher at the top
[02:14] <pio_> shiloh7, no
[02:14] <xMopx> tester_: Would it work better? Or would partimage not work?
[02:14] <shiloh7> pio_, there in options, there is a mic boost options, 20db
[02:14] <nightrid3r> Rohan_SM: or try this one http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-update-ubuntu-linux-softwares/
[02:14] <tester_> Sparrow, i just want them to be able to run my application (which access some restricted files), without requiriung to type password or anything
[02:15] <shiloh7> i have to use it myself for teamspeak, etc
[02:15] <tester_> xMopX, clonezilla is just easier
[02:15] <lolcakes> Etherael: yes, right click a workspace->preferences, then "Workspace Switcher Preferences" comes up and under "Workspace Names" you can name them (assuming you're using 8.04 or 8.10, I dunno about other versions)
[02:15] <tester_> I use it a lot
[02:15] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: well I read this nx guide and it mentioned a place.. trying to find it
[02:15] <Rohan_SM> Thanks a lot I ll check that
[02:15] <Etherael> lolcakes, the task switcher only lets me pick how many columns and rows I want.
[02:15] <xMopx> Ah. I dont have a problem with difficulty, but thanks, Its good to know it should work, lol
[02:15] <pio_> shiloh7, ill try that
[02:15] <Wicked> !mp3
[02:16] <lolcakes> Etherael: thats odd, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:16] <Wicked> !player
[02:16] <Etherael> lol: 8.10
[02:16] <mysticdarkhack> hello all
[02:16] <dmi3on> h4mx0r, thank you very much
[02:16] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: try no-ip.com that will give you a dns name to use instead of an ip
[02:16] <kylockwood> hey, i lost sound with flash on ubuntu 64, using flash 64bit alpha with iceweasel
[02:16] <Etherael> help about on workspace switcher says ; workspace switcher 2.24.1 copyright redhat
[02:16] <mysticdarkhack> I need advice on where to put my swap partition. Beginning or end?
[02:16] <pio_> shiloh7, i couldn't locate any boot option
[02:17] <tester_> okay, I love shell commands, command line, I hate GUIs, and have my linux system on a 386 CPU. Will I get some help now :-)
[02:17] <lolcakes> Etherael: Well, I dont know whats going on, it has that option on mine
[02:17] <mysticdarkhack> and also linux filesystem. Beginning or end?
[02:17] <danc3> mysticdarkhack: doesn't matter
[02:17] <h4mx0r> dmi3on: its not the one I was recommended to use but it gets the job done
[02:17] <snarkster> i just cant get ubuntu to load. i installed windows first on its own hard drive, then ubuntu on its on drive, but now just windows comes up.
[02:17] <dmi3on> h4mx0r, will you be here tomorrow so i can ask you more questions ?
[02:17] <trojatra> Anyone have an M-Audio Fast Track working with Ubuntu?
[02:17] <tonsofpcs> how can i tell if my kernel sees my display as a framebuffer device?
[02:17] <eseven73> lol tester_
[02:17] <Etherael> lolcakes, when you right click does it have an about option? is it still the redhat one?
[02:17] <marine>  is this update mandatory acpi-support
[02:18] <lolcakes> Etherael: yup, its 2.21.1 copyright 2001-2002 (lol) redhat
[02:18] <lolcakes> 24*
[02:18] <tester_> Did you guys see, I HATE GUIs, I do everything from command line
[02:18] <tester_> now help me
[02:18] <nightrid3r> snarkster: you have to install grub on the windows drive
[02:18] <Etherael> hrm, that's actually older than my version
[02:18] <tonsofpcs> tester_: screen -U
[02:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !helpme > tester_
[02:18] <Etherael> maybe it got removed? why would they do that? :/
[02:18] <lolcakes> I dunno :(
[02:18] <shiloh7> pio_, it isnt a boot option, double click the volum icon
[02:18] <shiloh7> alsa pops up
[02:18] <Wicked> !player > Wicked
[02:18] <mysticdarkhack> danc3, I see and won't it effect or loose any advantage?
[02:18] <tester_> You know what, windows is so much better, no
[02:19] <danc3> mysticdarkhack: correct
[02:19] <Rohan_SM> This os is just incredibly fast :D
[02:19] <node357> tester_, I thought you said you hated GUI
[02:19] <tester_> Sparrow, stopping sending your minion to attack me
[02:19] <shiloh7> pio_, under edit>preferences, there is a selectable box for mic boost
[02:19] <tester_> well yeah I did, I use cmd shell
[02:19] <tester_> like dir and stuff
[02:19] <node357> oh okay
[02:19] <snarkster> nightrid3r: oh? i didnt know that
[02:19] <tester_> more fun then explorer anyways
[02:19] <nightrid3r> snarkster: common mistake
[02:20] <shiloh7> pio_, then under the switches tab, you have to select it to be enabled
[02:20] <mysticdarkhack> danc3, well I just had my swap to be end and filesystem to be beginning. So, you think it all good right?
[02:20] <danc3> mysticdarkhack: yes
[02:20] <lolcakes> tester_: so I guess you program in COBOL and use ed as an editor?
[02:20] <gizmo> can i ask how to set off the invite mode using xhat?
[02:20] <tester_> ASM
[02:20] <tester_> and 1 and 0 is all I do
[02:20] <lolcakes> lol

[02:27] <lolcakes> tester_: try converting a video with mecoder then come back and tell me you love the cmd line
[02:27] <lolcakes> mencoder*
[02:27] <redvamp128> should kick over to the profile manager ( I am also running a second config of FF 3.2
[02:27] <nightrid3r> lolcakes: that should cure him :)
[02:28] <tester_> Flannel, yes, I am trying to gte gksduo work from a shell script(withput requiring the prompt for password), I have modified the sudoers with NoPASSWd, and from terminal gksude wors as expected
[02:28] <lolcakes> vanax: you can share a folder on windows using normal methods, then type "smb://windowsserver/share" into nautilus to access it
[02:28] <redvamp128> also running it in Wine as well
[02:28] <tester_> but form script it asks for password
[02:28] <Flannel> tester_: Try using sudo instead.
[02:28] <Reilithion> I cannot get Magic SysRq to work.
[02:29] <Wicked> !beep
[02:29] <Wicked> !beepmediaplayer
[02:29] <Wicked> !bmp
[02:29] <Wicked> stupid bot!
[02:29] <lolcakes> !media
[02:29] <redvamp128> My question -- is does anyone else have issues with Brasero -- it goes to burn an image -- but then kicks out the cd-- Gnome bake says (" Yes no problem") and burns it just fine... even used the .deb of the new version.. still no fix.
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !botabuse > wicked
[02:29] <Rohan_SM> Guys is it possible to run my photoshop CS3 and 3DMax on this ?
[02:29] <Jams44> Also, how do i change the login out of kde back to whatever the gnome default was? i changed it when i installed kubuntu onto ubuntu but i dont like it
[02:29] <lolcakes> Rohan_SM: maybe, with wine. no guarantees, best use GIMP and blender or something
[02:29] <Reilithion> cat /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq outputs 1.  But Magic SysRq does not seem to have any effect.
[02:29] <Flannel> Rohan_SM: You'd have more luck talking to the wine people in #winehq, and also check out their app DB
[02:30] <tester_> Flannel, that is not a good idea, to use Sudo where gksude shoudl be used, Sparrow can make his minion convey this to you
[02:30] <Wicked> so whats the beep media player package called in ubuntu?
[02:30] <mysticdarkhack> hey tester_ was fedora able to use the two gpu in vaio z?
[02:30] <tester_> !gksudo
[02:30] <Flannel> tester_: You just said "a script" you didn't mention anything about what said script is doing.
[02:30] <Wicked> i only see one labled experimental
[02:30] <Wicked> bmpx                                                                                                                            - Beep Media Player eXperimental
[02:30] <lolcakes> Wicked: search for "beep media" in synaptic
[02:30] <Rohan_SM> I know GIMP its good but I paid for my Copy of Photoshop and its support etc. :D
[02:30] <Jack_Sparrow> tester_, He knows the difference
[02:30] <redvamp128> andrew_:  did that new profile work?
[02:30] <tester_> mystic, I did not check, it came up fine, and all my porn plays aokay
[02:31] <tester_> so that part i can confirm, video okay, audio okay
[02:31] <lolcakes> Rohan_SM: then run it on windows? I doubt theyll support it running on wine
[02:31] <vanax> isnt there just an easy way to mount the hard drive as is and read the files off it?
[02:31] <mysticdarkhack> porn, geez
[02:31] <mysticdarkhack> lol
[02:31] <Wicked> lolcakes, not seeing it
[02:31] <Flannel> lolcakes: When helping, please be helpful.
[02:31] <lolcakes> vanax: not across the network? smb is the closest thing if its windows->linux
[02:31] <dubi> hello
[02:31] <tester_> vanax mountmanager or ntfs configuration tool
[02:31] <redvamp128> Does anyone else have the issue of 8.04 and Brasero
[02:31] <DVA5912> How well does ubuntu support dual monitors? I am on windows and im looking to go to ubuntu but i just spent fifty dollars on a new graphics card for the TV out and dual screen support and would like not to loose it
[02:31] <eseven73> too much info tester_
[02:31] <pio_> shiloh7,  noo
[02:31] <Flannel> Rohan_SM: If wine won't run it, you can always run windows in a VM (seamlessly) to use those programs.
[02:31] <dubi> can anyone help me? why does gpaint dont have an undo option?
[02:31] <pio_> shiloh7,  microhone boost not present, it's a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/220787
[02:32] <DVA5912> the card is an EVGA E-GeForce 7200 GS
[02:32] <vanax> nono not on the network, like i just reformatted my windows PC and put ubuntu on it, and i had another 320gb hd that i put all my files on, its my other hard drive
[02:32] <mysticdarkhack> anyone know if thinkfinger will work on ubuntu vaio z?
[02:32] <pio_> shiloh7, any other way to boost the mic??
[02:32] <shiloh7> pio_, what version ubuntu are you using?
[02:32] <lolcakes> DVA5912: the closed source nvidia drivers have an excellent settings manager that can do all that for you
[02:32] <redvamp128> I think if you run the - restricted drivers - for your video card -- Nvidia supports Dual Monitors (unsure of Ati)
[02:32] <vanax> i jsut plugged it in, and ubuntu wont let me read the files
[02:32] <Reilithion> DVA5912: I am using dual monitors under Ubuntu right now.
[02:32] <pio_> shiloh7,  inprepid,
[02:32] <Flannel> mysticdarkhack: You'll have to check the thinkfinger documentation (and your fingerprint reader model/etc) to see if its supported.
[02:32] <pio_> also have the bug
[02:32] <shiloh7> pio_, 8.10?
[02:32] <andrew_> thank you so much for ur help, my firefox is back
[02:32] <illuminata> http://www.wkowtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9667184&nav=menu1362_2 apparently your os is causing quite a bit of grief for this wisconsin woman. i hope you respond accordingly
[02:32] <nightrid3r> DVA5912: nvidia support is very good in ubuntu so it should work
[02:32] <illuminata> she's sulking in #gentoo.et, i'll be leaving
[02:33] <DVA5912> lolcakes: closed source? As in from the manufacturer
[02:33] <Reilithion> DVA5912: You may have to edit your xorg.conf file manually, though.
[02:33] <lolcakes> DVA5912: yes, from their website, or "System->Administration->Hardware Drivers"
[02:33] <DVA5912> Reilithion: How does it looks
[02:33] <pio_> shiloh7, yes, 8.10
[02:33] <shiloh7> pio_, im using 8.04 LTS< good to know about that bug in 8.10
[02:34] <pio_> shiloh7, it appear in this version too
[02:34] <tester_> I will try to be succinct, I modified sudoer, so that no password is required when I use sudo or gksude from command line. Now when I run the same command gksude "followed_by_my_app_name" I get the propmt for password. I do not want that. All  my does is, read and modify dhcp.conf, as well some other restricted files
[02:34] <mysticdarkhack> Flannel, you know another alternative finger reader for ubuntu?
[02:34] <DVA5912> Cool thanks lolcakes and Reilithion. Now should my internet be faster under ubuntu? its going crazy in windows
[02:34] <Reilithion> DVA5912: It looks very nice.  I did have some trouble setting it up initially, and I still cannot move windows from one screen to the other (due to the way I've set it up.  This should become possible once RandR 1.4 is released).
[02:34] <tester_> I am doing this to automate some taks I do for clonezilla
[02:34] <shiloh7> pio_, i dont have any other suggestions
[02:34] <Rohan_SM> Too bad windows is nothing in comparison of this. I mean its really fast. I tried this at my friend some blue desktop and black skin etc. and its working very nicely as per him. So I thought of giving it a try. Indeed it switch windows programs etc. at incredible speed.
[02:34] <lolcakes> DVA5912: that almost entirely depends on the speed of your connection, not the OS. try it and see
[02:34] <TheFunkbomb> hey, does anyone have any issues with playing .avi files in VLC player?  I have the w32 codecs
[02:35] <Flannel> mysticdarkhack: Is it not supported?  As far as I know, thinkfinger is the defacto fingerprint software.  And it isn't just for thinkpads.  You really should check to see if yours is supported.
[02:35] <redvamp128> So any reason why Brasero bums out but Gnomebake works without issue>? 8.04 and Brasero 0.7.1 or 0.8.4
[02:35] <vanax> are there any other channels where i can get some help?
[02:35] <wcdl> is anyone could run photoshop under wine
[02:35] <DVA5912> Cool looks promising. Now i can install this first into windows to test right?
[02:35] <lolcakes> TheFunkbomb: VLC has its own codecs, the w32 codecs are for mplayer
[02:35] <usser> wcdl: cs2 worked just fine for me
[02:35] <TheFunkbomb> lolcakes, okay, do you have any idea why they won't play in VLC?
[02:35] <mysticdarkhack> Flannel, I haven't read it yet but just wanted to know in case if it doesn't
[02:35] <wcdl> usser: normal install?
[02:35] <lolcakes> TheFunkbomb: theres probably 32767 reasons, what error is it giving you?
[02:36] <shiloh7> TheFunkbomb, do they play in SM player?
[02:36] <usser> wcdl: yea on latest wine you dont need to do anything special
[02:36] <wcdl> and about cs3?
[02:36] <Flannel> tester_: Whats wrong with just calling that script with sudo?  If the only thing the script does is modify files, `sudo script` should work just fine, without any security issues.  Also, sudo will work fine for that usage as well.
[02:36] <usser> wcdl: cs3 is not supported
[02:36] <wcdl> thanks
[02:36] <TheFunkbomb> lolcakes, no error.  just no movement.
[02:36] <wcdl> wich wine ?
[02:36] <TheFunkbomb> shiloh7, yes, they play in Firefox and the default movie player
[02:36] <lolcakes> TheFunkbomb: is it just for avi, or for all video?
[02:36] <Flannel> tester_: Also, you really shouldn't remove the password for all of your programs.  You can, however, remove the password requirement for that particular script rather easily.
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> wcdl, Check the appdb.. kinda lame or ask in Wine hw or see the virtual solutions available
[02:36] <usser> wcdl: 1.1.12 is the latest i believe
[02:36] <tester_> Flannel, I am hoping to create a shortcut on desktop, or put a script on the desktop, when someone clicks on it, want it to run
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> winehq
[02:36] <ConstantineXVI> is there a reason that ubuntu attempts to run (windows) autorun stuff?
[02:36] <redvamp128> wcdl:  try asking it in #winehq
[02:36] <pio_> shiloh7,  :(, thanks
[02:36] <TheFunkbomb> lolcakes, wmvs play fine
[02:36] <jp_sf> is there a daily and or weekly build for Ubuntu (like Debian for instance)?
[02:37] <Reilithion> DVA5912: I would suggest running from the LiveCD.  It will allow you to test Ubuntu a bit without having to modify anything on your hard drive.
[02:37] <TheFunkbomb> lolcakes, I haven't tried mpgs
[02:37] <redvamp128> THough 1.1.13 should be out this friday
[02:37] <shiloh7> TheFunkbomb, i had some issues with VLC this last go around to, i just got rid of it and am using SM player, i like it better
[02:37] <Flannel> tester_: That's fine.  You can make the shortcut include the sudo stuff very easily.
[02:37] <lolcakes> TheFunkbomb: not sure whats going on then, aside form making sure you're using the latest VLC, you could try smplayer. its less broken
[02:37] <redvamp128> if they keep the current release schedule (it has been about 2 weeks )
[02:37] <Vantrax> jp_sf, Ubuntu goes by 6 monthly builds
[02:37] <Jack_Sparrow> jp_sf, no roilling releases except for jaunty which is not ready
[02:37] <tester_> Flannel, you are god that is all I want man
[02:37] <redvamp128> wine is generally on a 2 week release schedule
[02:37] <TheFunkbomb> shiloh7, lolcakes, thanks
[02:38] <DVA5912> lolcakes: this doesnt look prommising: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/evga-e-geforce-7200-gs-wont-work-with-the-nvidia-drivers-567849/
[02:38] <shiloh7> lolcakes, yeah i love sm player  :)
[02:38] <tester_> right now my script is just this  gksudo /home/tesg3/ReadWrite
[02:38] <mysticdarkhack> well I'm off now yall,
[02:38] <mysticdarkhack> thanks for the help
[02:38] <TheFunkbomb> I'll check out sm player.  is it in the stock repositories?
[02:38] <cs_student> When ubuntu freezes from a program is there a ctrl-alt-delete type method of terminating the program/
[02:38] <jp_sf> Jack_Sparrow: Ah ok I'm going to an installfest and I was wondering if I could have a weekly-build something instead of updating after the install
[02:38] <whacked> ok anyone have an idea what could cause this message "network cable unplugged" with windows xp, i am now connected with same computer on dual boot with ubuntu  ?
[02:38] <usser> wcdl: actually it appears that cs3 is also supported http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6584 my apologies
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jp_sf, Stick with ibex and copy /var/cache/apt/archives after you do the updates on the first or see aptoncd
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptoncd
[02:39] <tester_> whacked, r u kidding me, it means exactly what the message says
[02:39] <Gnea> cs_student: yeah, if that doesn't do it, alt-sysrq-k  should take out everything on tty7
[02:39] <whacked> ok so the answer is ?
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !attitude  > tester_
[02:39] <tester_> f'in cab;le is unplugged
[02:39] <sektor1952> has anyone had any issues recompiling the latest kernel?
[02:39] <Reilithion> DVA5912: I see.  Your card may yet work with an open-source driver.
[02:39] <lolcakes> DVA5912: thats from 2007, its 2009 (of course they still may not work, I dont know, I have an 8600GT)
[02:39] <user01> how do i open ms access databases in linux?
[02:39] <jp_sf> Jack_Sparrow: Ah great yes exactly what I'm looking for
[02:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !kernel > sektor1952
[02:39] <Gnea> cs_student: you might have a few remnant programs still running, best to check the process list
[02:40] <whacked> i am talking to you know using the same cable nic modem and router right now
[02:40] <Jack_Sparrow> jp_sf, all of your updates are in that folder or go the apt on cd route
[02:40] <lolcakes> Reilithion: the open source nvidia drievr is really bad, no 3d acceleration at all or xvideo
[02:40] <Gnea> whacked: is the clip on the network cable firmly attached on both ends?
[02:40] <hexidigital> hi folks. anyone know off hand what the max file size is for ext3?  I've read 2^32 but i'm trying to verify this.
[02:40] <sektor1952> Jack_sparrow: I know how to compile the kernel, but I am getting an error
[02:40] <tester_> I am sorry
[02:41] <sektor1952> that I can't seem to clear
[02:41] <tester_> right now my script is just this  gksudo /home/tesg3/ReadWrite
[02:41] <whacked> yes
[02:41] <wcdl> usser: i was asking to see if anyone has it already installed
[02:41] <Reilithion> lolcakes: Yeah, I know.  It's really too bad.
[02:41] <tester_> so how do make a shortcut
[02:41] <jp_sf> Jack_Sparrow: yes will do that thx
[02:41] <wcdl> but thanks anyway
[02:41] <whacked> I been using ubuntu for 2 weeks now on same cablee nic router modem
[02:41] <DVA5912> Cant hurt to try.....   If i could only get to the downloads page its notr loading at all
[02:41] <TheFunkbomb> I think maybe the avi issue was with the movie.  I just loaded up a movie I know that works and it goes fine
[02:41] <Gnea> tester_: add this as the first line:  #!/bin/sh
[02:41] <lolcakes> Reilithion: Its making me look at ATI cards as my next graphics card, its great how amd are releasing specifications
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> sektor1952, We dont support peoples efforts to compile their own kernel...  It works for all of the regulars that know how to do it
[02:41] <wcdl> i will try to install it now
[02:42] <jtaji> hexidigital: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems
[02:42] <Gnea> whacked: did this problem just start occurring today?
[02:42] <Reilithion> lolcakes: I am using a Radeon X850.  It's not too bad.  It has some 3d accel, but lacks many features.  I couldn't run Planeshift, for instance, because multitexture support sucked.
[02:42] <whacked> it happen after installing ubuntu 8.10
[02:42] <hexidigital> jtaji:  i mostly ignore wiki links when looking for information, but i'll have a look.
[02:42] <hexidigital> thanks
[02:42] <lolcakes> Reilithion: yes, but due to specifications being available, it will get better a lot quicker than nouveau
[02:42] <whacked> i been running xp and ubuntu 7.10 for 18 months
[02:43] <tigerz> hi guys, I got a audio issue on jaunty. Am I in the right channel?
[02:43] <TheFunkbomb> I need to find a site where I can download a practice .mpg movie
[02:43] <tester_> Gnea I still get the password prompt
[02:43] <whacked> i just formatted the linux partition
[02:43] <Reilithion> lolcakes: R500-R700 chips may get a lot better, but the X850 uses an R420 chip, which AMD has not made any promises about.
[02:43] <Gnea> tester_: of course, you're using gksudo
[02:43] <BellinXFelon> hey how can i change permissions for my seagate external hard drive?
[02:43] <tester_> I have modified the sudoer file so that no password is asked
[02:43] <user01> are there any write drivers for mdb files?
[02:43] <tester_> Gnea, but from command line it works okay
[02:43] <tester_> no password is asked there
[02:43] <usser> tigerz: go to #ubuntu+1
[02:44] <jp_sf> whacked: yes it happens
[02:44] <tigerz> thx
[02:44] <Daphko> is the encrypt home directory function important !?
[02:44] <Gnea> whacked: are you using a different system to irc with?
[02:44] <giloth> good evenin' everyone
[02:44] <whacked> no
[02:44] <whacked> I am on same computer
[02:44] <Gnea> ...
[02:44] <whacked> had a dual boot for 18 monthas
[02:44] <whacked> and never a problem
[02:45] <Gnea> whacked: if you're connected now, then what exactly is the problem?
[02:45] <whacked> formatted my linux partition for a clean install of 8.10
[02:45] <whacked> no longer can connect on my windows though
[02:45] <Gnea> oh
[02:45] <wcdl> firefox is leaking too much memory how can i fix that, anyone??/?
[02:45] <Gnea> whacked: #windows can help you with that then
[02:45] <Reilithion> DVA5912: In summary, good support for your graphics card is not likely going to be easy to come by.  If you want hardware 3D accel under linux, either go beg nVidia to make better linux drivers or get a different graphics card -- preferably one based on one of the ATI R5xx-R7xx chips.
[02:46] <jp_sf> whacked: It looks like a driver problem in XP I have seen this problem with broadcom, I would suspect first the Bios, then I would suspect the eth0 not being properly shutdown, in any case if a bios solution doesn't solve it then reinstall the driver in XP
[02:46] <tester_> So gksudo I have to do something else then
[02:46] <tester_> since it is a gui based app I need to use gksudo
[02:46] <wcdl> and also the flash videos are too much slow ubuntu 8.10 flash 10
[02:46] <supCHOCO> Hey I have a problem playing Mp3's
[02:46] <wcdl> can someone help me
[02:46] <whacked> yes i think the nic is suspended somehow
[02:46] <tester_> wcdl, I use that and it works fine
[02:47] <nightrid3r> !mp3 | supCHOCO
[02:47] <whacked> i have reinstalled driver
[02:47] <whacked> have original cd
[02:47] <jp_sf> whacked: the latest one from the vendor ?
[02:47] <Gnea> whacked: again, please take it to #windows
[02:47] <whacked> i have it
[02:47] <Gnea> jp_sf: please, #windows
[02:47] <Rohan_SM> How do I become root and type commands in Ubuntu linux ? is that su or sudo ?
[02:47] <wcdl> tester_ : when u open a video on youtube..... can u watch it without stoping?
[02:47] <tester_> whacked, go to device manager, and from networks, u shud see your device there, does it say working there
[02:48] <Gnea> !ot
[02:48] <Reilithion> Rohan_SM: sudo su
[02:48] <whacked> network shows local are connection
[02:48] <Gnea> !sudo | Rohan_SM
[02:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Reilithion, That is not the best way
[02:48] <abhi_cse> could any one help me hear plz
[02:48] <abhi_cse> http://pastebin.ca/1308705
[02:48] <jp_sf> Gnea: well not really I think the problem is that when Ubuntu stop it stops the eth0 when windows reboot the etho is not detected s the related question is there a way to shutdown a machine without shutting down eth0
[02:48] <abhi_cse> hey Jack_Sparrow
[02:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Reilithion, Sudo SU:  Instead of sudo su please suggest sudo -i as properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell.
[02:48] <Rohan_SM> Thanks a lot
[02:49] <abhi_cse> captain Jack_Sparrow  i think
[02:49] <whacked> ok np
[02:49] <whacked> thank everyone
[02:49] <abhi_cse> any help hear plz http://pastebin.ca/1308705
[02:49] <Reilithion> Jack_Sparrow: Cool.  I was unaware of that flag.
[02:49] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[02:49] <Gnea> jp_sf: well, i'm sure #windows will enjoy your theory
[02:49] <whacked> problem was coaused by installing 8.10
[02:49] <lolcakes> jp_sf: thats windows being crap, its impossible to restart a PC whilst keeping the network interface active (Im pretty sure anyway)
[02:49] <whacked> final point
[02:50] <Flannel> abhi_cse: There are better places for kernel homework help
[02:50] <abhi_cse> Flannel: Ty

[02:52] <tester_> gksudo from sscript.....
[02:52] <luddite>  im in flux box on intrepid and want to change the gnome theme  - how do i open it from the command line instead of  >system / preferences / appearences ?
[02:52] <Reilithion> How can I get Magic SysRq working?  I have already added kernel.sysrq = 1 to /etc/sysctl.conf
[02:53] <ReloaD> sorry Gnea
[02:53] <aedwards> im havin trouble with my computer readin drives or USB drives. what would cause this?
[02:53] <Gnea> luddite: gnome-control-center
[02:53] <dubi> Hello, can anyone tell me where the undo function is on gpaint. I cant undo a drawing... thanks
[02:53] <AndyIB> Anyone familiar with making the gHamachi script and the newer hamachi versions on 8.04?
[02:53] <AndyIB> work*
[02:53] <luddite> Gnea - that easy - thanks Sir
[02:53] <Gnea> luddite: cheers
[02:54] <ReloaD> !ask
[02:54] <Gnea> ReloaD: sorry for what?
[02:54] <tester_> gksudo from sscript.....
[02:54] <lolcakes> aedwards: define 'having trouble'
[02:55] <TheFunkbomb> So, if I have SMPlayer, do I need Mplayer or VLC at all?
[02:55] <Flannel> tester_: Don't use gksu, use sudo.  We already covered this.
[02:55] <Gnea> tester_: you keep saying that over and over, as if it's supposed to mean something... just state your problem in human-readable-format, please.
[02:55] <tester_> !gksdu
[02:55] <lolcakes> TheFunkbomb: SMPlayer uses mplayer afaik, and you wont need vlc
[02:55] <TheFunkbomb> okay
[02:55] <TheFunkbomb> thanks lolcakes
[02:55] <tester_> I will try to be succinct, I modified sudoer, so that no password is required when I use sudo or gksude from command line. Now when I run the same command gksude "followed_by_my_app_name" I get the propmt for password. I do not want that. All  my does is, read and modify dhcp.conf, as well some other restricted files
[02:55] <ReloaD> i didnt undesrtud wwwwwwhat you said
[02:55] <tester_> !gksudo
[02:55] <tester_> and flannl, my fail with sudo
[02:55] <Gnea> ReloaD: oh. open a terminal and type this:  id    do you see the word 'video' there anywhere?
[02:56] <Flannel> tester_: What?
[02:56] <tester_> fla, just running my app with sudo fails
[02:56] <user01> can i have someone at work save a mdb file in a certian format so i can edit it in openoffice?
[02:56] <ReloaD> noop Gnea
[02:56] <tester_> it is c#, gtk#
[02:57] <Flannel> tester_: Why are you using c# and gtk to change a few files?
[02:57] <lolcakes> user01: openoffice base cant open it>
[02:57] <lolcakes> *?
[02:57] <user01> lolcakes, it isnt opening it right now
[02:57] <Gnea> ReloaD: okay, then you need to change that:  System->Administration->Users and Groups  and add yourself to the Video group (you'll need to logout/login once you've done that for the change to take effect) you should be able to use your tv card then
[02:57] <tester_> Flanl, its is a big app, part of it is access some restricted files(dhcp conf and interfaces)
[02:57] <nightrid3r> user01: try to export the file as a CSV
[02:57] <lolcakes> user01: right. sorry, I have not played with oo.o base at all so I have no idea.
[02:58] <tester_> all I need to be able to do is use gksudo from a shell script/shortkut on my desktop
[02:58] <ReloaD> thak you very much Gnea
[02:58] <tester_> if that happens I would be so happy
[02:58] <Gnea> ReloaD: you're welcome
[02:59] <ryanhaigh> /j #gnome
[02:59] <AppleBoy> anyone know if the jaunty alpha2 supports mobo chipsets based on intel x58 ?
[02:59] <Gnea> AppleBoy: the people in #ubuntu+1 can answer that
[02:59] <nightrid3r> AppleBoy: #ubuntu+1
[03:00] <aedwards> well i cant get my CD rom to work on ubuntu and anytime i connect any kind of USB device to my PC it wont find it...
[03:00] <aedwards> i thought it might be becuz of my pc but it works on 8.04
[03:00] <h4mx0r> aedwards: do lsusb to see what usb devices are connected then do sudo lshw to see if any devices don't have drivers
[03:01] <Reilithion> Ok.  Magic SysRq.  I really would like to get it working.
[03:01] <h4mx0r> aedwards: it might have something to do with udev permissions because of power issues depending upon which version of ubuntu you are using
[03:01] <vanax> Looking for help with Mounting a NTFS Hard drive
[03:01] <h4mx0r> aedwards: or it might be faulty /etc/fstab having other things listed for cd/usb device in question
[03:01] <aedwards> well i had to turn ACPI off in BIOS just to get 8.10 to work on my pc...but i didnt on 8.04...
[03:01] <Gnea> Reilithion: press ctrl-alt-F1, then alt-sysrq-h
[03:01] <nightrid3r> !ntfs
[03:02] <dubi> Hello can anyone tell me of an alternative to gimp or gpaint?
[03:02] <nightrid3r> !ntfs | vanax
[03:02] <h4mx0r> aedwards: 8.04 has long term support if you want to stick with that. 8.10 is just some stable testing for the next long term release
[03:02] <Reilithion> Gnea: I presume you want me to switch to the first virtual console.  That has not worked for me since I configured X to use both of my video cards.
[03:02] <Gnea> !sysrq | Reilithion
[03:02] <aedwards> so it would be better to run 8.04 for now?
[03:03] <Reilithion> Yes.  I am aware of what it is.  I have tried this combination.  It does not appear to do anything.
[03:03] <Gnea> B didn't do anything?
[03:03] <Reilithion> That's right.
[03:03] <jp_sf> lolcakes: I have removed the symlink S35Networking from /etc/rc0.d and my eth0 stays on after the shutdown
[03:03] <CaptObvious> I'm having issues with init.d
[03:03] <Gnea> and you're on an officially built ubuntu kernel?
[03:03] <aedwards> y would i have to turn off ACPi on 8.10 but not on 8.04?
[03:03] <Reilithion> Gnea: Yes, I am.
[03:04] <lar50n> Can I make my resolution larger than the choices given in 'Screen Resolution'? Is this determined by monitor, video card, other?
[03:04] <CaptObvious> if I log in as root and run teamspeak-server it launches fine, however if it runs as part of init.d it craps out with: Database initialization error: EDatabaseError.Unable to Load /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0
[03:04] <jp_sf> lolcakes: I guess the guy left but would have been one solution for him while restarting it's window$
[03:04] <h4mx0r> Reilithion: I think he is pulling your chain how about you try ctrl alt backspace to reset the graphical display or do ctrl alt f2 for a terminal you can login and do sudo shutdown -h 0
[03:04] <CaptObvious> although /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0 exists and is chmodded 777
[03:04] <CaptObvious> any ideas what's going wrong?
[03:05] <h4mx0r> CaptObvious: what user owns that file? do chown
[03:05] <CaptObvious> root root
[03:05] <CaptObvious> don't init.d tasks run as root?
[03:05] <Gnea> Reilithion: i'm having a very difficult time believing that...
[03:05] <Reilithion> h4mx0r: Ctrl-Alt-backspace does sometimes work.  If my system gets too frozen up, though, it will not.  Also, switching to virtual consoles no longer works for me, as I have mentioned.
[03:05] <h4mx0r> CaptObvious: well your sol I got no clue. What you trying to do again?
[03:05] <aedwards> ?
[03:05] <CaptObvious> launch a teamspeak server instance
[03:06] <CaptObvious> works fine if I run it manually with /usr/bin/teamspeak-server as root
[03:06] <Reilithion> Gnea: I can understand your skepticism.  If you throw commands at me, I will gladly reproduce their output for you.
[03:07] <nickname-0-> I ve just installed vsftpd on 8.04. I want to know if there is any way to limit the size of the FTP users' folders. thanx in advance
[03:07] <h4mx0r> Reilithion: ohh I had a similar issue it was an irq problem do to this wireless driver, when it boots try going into grub and pressing e so it lets you edit the statements then at end of kernel line where it says quiet splash put irq=poll or noirq something like that or maybe its noapic are you using an amd cpu?
[03:07] <Gnea> Reilithion: okay, open a terminal and run this:  tail -f /var/log/syslog
[03:07] <Gnea> Reilithion: then:  alt-sysrq-h
[03:07] <h4mx0r> Reilithion: enter dmesg when it boots and check the old error messages to find what is the problem and fix it by blacklisting or reinstalling things
[03:07] <Gnea> Reilithion: does it just beep at you or did something happen?
[03:08] <Reilithion> Gnea: Nothing happens.  My terminal drops its Help menu.
[03:08] <Gnea> Reilithion: like this? SysRq : HELP : loglevel0-8 reBoot
[03:08] <tester_> Even desktop launcher does not works
[03:08] <h4mx0r> Reilithion: have you just installed this system or updated recently?
[03:09] <h4mx0r> tester_: dude what command are you trying to run in a desktop icon
[03:09] <Reilithion> Gnea: tail does not print any such line.
[03:09] <Reilithion> h4mx0r: I updated this system from 8.04 back in early November, I believe.
[03:10] <Reilithion> I have never before tried Magic SysRq, so I don't know if it ever worked for me..
[03:10] <Gnea> Reilithion: okay, it shouldn't do the help menu if you pressed the SysReq/PrintScreen key along with the left-alt key...
[03:10] <Reilithion> Left alt?  I'll try that.
[03:10] <Gnea> Reilithion: making sure that you press the left-alt key *first*
[03:11] <bonhoffer> i can't delete a file  -- from sudo  rm -f foo.mp3, i get  rm: cannot remove `foo.mp3': Read-only file system
[03:11] <bonhoffer> can't sudo chmod
[03:11] <BellinXFelon> can anyone tell me how to change permissions for a seagate external hard drive?
[03:11] <Harley^> Howdy :)
[03:11] <bonhoffer> in nautilus i can't move to trash
[03:12] <h4mx0r> Reilithion: then what are your problems exactly? I mean you've been using it for a while now
[03:12] <Nomexous> bonhoffer: You need to remount to volume with rw permissions
[03:12] <Reilithion> Gnea: I held left-alt, PrintScreen, and pressed H.  It brought up 4 "Save Screenshot" windows.  Which is weird, because I intentionally changed the "Save Screenshot" key combination to Ctrl-Printscreen.
[03:12] <Gnea> Reilithion: I see....
[03:12] <h4mx0r> bonhoffer: do sudo su and delete it as root with the force option -f
[03:12] <Nomexous> bonhoffer: I'm assuming it's some sort of detachable media?
[03:12] <letalis> bonhoffer: yeah its setup read only atm
[03:13] <bonhoffer> yes -- sansa media player
[03:13] <Gnea> Reilithion: if you reboot the system with only one monitor attached, can you drop to console then?
[03:13] <bonhoffer> h4mx0r, i tried the su and delete as root
[03:13] <Reilithion> Gnea: I am not sure.  I'm pretty certain, however, that I could drop to a console if I edit xorg.conf and remove reference to one of my video cards.
[03:14] <h4mx0r> BellinXfelon: format it.. use gparted
[03:14] <Wintervenom> How do I make Ubuntu always force-mount NTFS media that is inserted into the machine?
[03:14] <h4mx0r> BellinXfelon: well gparted can change most stuff without formatting.. just be sure to backup incase you accidentally mess something up
[03:14] <Gnea> Reilithion: better to just reboot and see what happens without modification of xorg.conf - could be a symptom of a bigger problem
[03:15] <lolcakes> Wintervenom: I dont think you can, I saw it was a feature in 9.04
[03:15] <AndyIB> Allright, dualboot, ASUS M2N32-SLi mb, haven't dug up the bios v. yet. Won't fire up 8.04 without Kernel Panic due to missing APIC, I turn off Adv. ACPI - APIC services in the BIOS and it boots smooth, but then windows won't boot. Any answers?
[03:15] <Reilithion> I'll do that then.  bbiab.
[03:15] <BellinXFelon> ok
[03:16] <tester_> h4mxr, I have created a GUI app, which lets a user add/modify/update clonezilla machines from the GUI, and it modifies some restricted files
[03:16] <h4mx0r> AndyIB: turn apic back on and use the kernel option noapic in grub?
[03:16] <AndyIB> h4mx0r, I do tht and the system freezes after about 20 min.
[03:16] <h4mx0r> AndyIB: /boot/grub/menu.lst change the kernel line to have noapic
[03:17] <lolcakes> I wonder how windows does it, you never need to play around with acpi and apic when booting that
[03:17] <h4mx0r> AndyIB: are you sure it is related?
[03:17] <h4mx0r> lolcakes: it automatically has it off in windows I think
[03:17] <AndyIB> I've tested it about 2 times with the noapic in the bootline and it froze every time.
[03:17] <pryodude> having trouble booting the new distro?
[03:17] <yuri_> anybody know a cli tool that will strip an html file of all html tags and leave only the text? I am using espeak with wget http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random but it reads the html tags... any ideas?
[03:18] <AndyIB> 3*
[03:18] <lar50n> so i want my resolution larger, run 'sudo lspci -vvnn' but i don't know how, what or if i can configure it to be more than 800x600
[03:18] <Nomexous> yuri_: Perhaps use w3m with the -dump option
[03:18] <lolcakes> yuri_: sed with a regex probably, dont ask me how though :P
[03:18] <pryodude> anyone having crc errors with the new distro?
[03:18] <yuri_> thanks guys will mess around
[03:19] <AndyIB> h4mx0r, It's not a major problem, but it's still annoying to have to enter bios every time I want to swap os
[03:19] <Gnea> !info html2text
[03:19] <Gnea> yuri_: ^^^
[03:19] <Nomexous> yuri_: w3m -dump www.google.com, for example
[03:19] <yuri_> im trying to create a daily alarm that will read a random wikipedia article to me using the synth
[03:19] <tester_> !gksudo
[03:19] <Gnea> yuri_: awesome :)
[03:19] <lar50n> that's cool yuri_
[03:19] <h4mx0r> pryodude: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html
[03:19] <kompi04> semarang
[03:20] <h4mx0r> AndyIB: I agree, what processor you using?
[03:20] <pryodude> anyone know a lot about kernel and crc errors?
[03:20] <AndyIB> h4mx0r, n AMD 64 3800+
[03:20] <h4mx0r> yuri_: use a cron job and festival with a text based browser
[03:20] <pryodude> that's not my problem
[03:20] <william_> i was wondering if there was a way to tell if samba is shareing out to the network
[03:21] <pryodude> I can install it but once it's installed I get crc errors when I try to boot
[03:21] <mdg> howdy!  How are you?
[03:21] <pryodude> I tried a different hard drive and that worked for a bit
[03:21] <AndyIB> h4mx0r, and before you ask, I'm not running the i686
[03:21] <pryodude> then it didn't and I get the same errors as before
[03:21] <h4mx0r> AndyIB: all I can say is check dmesg afterwards and google around
[03:21] <AndyIB> I men I'm not running the x64 >_>
[03:21] <AndyIB> mean*
[03:21] <AndyIB> this keyboard is killing me. sorry.
[03:21] <yuri_> h4mx0r: interesting
[03:22] <h4mx0r> AndyIB: good for you, higher benchmarks on things you actually use
[03:22] <pryodude> anyone?
[03:22] <zetheroo> How do I change the keyring password?
[03:22] <h4x0r> hello yuri
[03:22] <nightrid3r> !pastebin
[03:22] <AndyIB> I'll look around h4mx0r, thanks for trying.
[03:22] <Harley^> I have Ubuntu Studio installed and lsb_release gives the following information;  Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 Codename: hardy   IS it possible to UPGRADE to the 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope edition directly ? IF so, is the ISO image available for download ?
[03:22] <h4mx0r> yuri_: try getting some better voices for festival though default ones are lame. I would suggest links for the text browser
[03:23] <william_> is there anyone that knows alot about samba
[03:23] <h4mx0r> william_: I know enough to use nfs :)
[03:23] <wolv3> hi
[03:23] <william_> is there a way to tell if its shareing out to the network
[03:23] <wolv3> guy i need some help with xorg.conf
[03:23] <zetheroo> ﻿How do I change the keyring password?
[03:24] <hendrixski> How can I find out which file is being called when I type a command in the commandline?
[03:24] <yuri_> h4mx0r: thanks for the tips. the default british dude is quite annoying
[03:24] <dm_> gh
[03:24] <jtaji> hendrixski: 'which command'
[03:24] <h4mx0r> yuri_: got to be some sort of text browser reading setup for blind people somewhere try to find a good script
[03:24] <hendrixski> jtaji, lemme try that
[03:24] <nightrid3r> lar50n: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105040/
[03:25] <jtaji> zetheroo: apps > accessories > password and encryption keys... password tab
[03:25] <hendrixski> oh cool
[03:25] <h4mx0r> yuri_: there is a site I used before had hundreds of nice voices to use but my main system is down getting a new cpu fan :/
[03:25] <nightrid3r> lar50n: put that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:25] <hendrixski> jtaji, thanks :-)
[03:25] <zetheroo> ﻿jtaji: whats supposed to be there?
[03:25] <yuri_> h4mx0r: thats what google is for, right?
[03:25] <rmokhtar> help
[03:25] <jtaji> zetheroo: I have an entry "Unlock password for default keyring"
[03:26] <Gnea> !ask | rmokhtar
[03:26] <rmokhtar> thank you
[03:26] <zetheroo> ﻿jtaji: not here ... this is Ubuntu Hardy
[03:26] <tester_> Yeah, my app fails with sudo alone
[03:26] <AceBlade2581> What are the advantages of using x64 over x86?
[03:26] <tester_> need to figure out gksude from a shell script, and no password prompt, as nopaswd in sudoer is not helping me in this
[03:27] <rmokhtar> I just messed up my audio. I had a problem, I was trying to use Livestation and Firefox simultaneously, but whichever one starts first, hogs the audio output
[03:27] <rmokhtar> now I can't hear a thing
[03:27] <jtaji> zetheroo: you could delete ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring , then you'll be prompted for the password again next time
[03:27] <hendrixski> AceBlade2581, x64?   you mean x86-64-bit?
[03:27] <tester_> Ace, more memory for your OS and programs
[03:27] <eseven73> !away > DS-Sleepin
[03:27] <zetheroo> ﻿jtaji: would I be able to setup a new password?
[03:27] <AceBlade2581> yes, sorry, i'm contimplating switiching
[03:27] <draco1889> hello
[03:28] <jtaji> zetheroo: yeah
[03:28] <draco1889> im having some trouble with my microphone and audacity, i got it to work but the recording is low and the audacity wave form is not centered
[03:28] <rmokhtar> umm, anyone want to help?
[03:28] <scientes> why doesnt ubuntu ever upgrade the kernel-package to allow people to build vinialla kernels?
[03:29] <zetheroo> ﻿jtaji: but deleting that file will not remove all my other GPG keys ... right?
[03:29] <hajmola> hey, does anyone know how to install e17 in intrepid?
[03:29] <jtaji> zetheroo: no that has nothing to do with GPG
[03:29] <hendrixski> AceBlade2581, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64           Well, if your computer is a 64 bit machine then you should use the 64 bit install.   If you're looking for a new computer, 64 bit is the way to go, they're faster and can hold more memory
[03:29] <jtaji> zetheroo: they're in ~/.gnupg
[03:29] <zetheroo> ahhh
[03:29] <zetheroo> \ok
[03:29] <kdubya> is there any way to reinstall the default packages
[03:29] <kdubya> without knowing what they are
[03:30] <hendrixski> hajmola, ooohh... umm, I just saw that a while ago and was thinking of doing it myself... lemme see if I can't find the link
[03:30] <nightrid3r> kdubya: no
[03:30] <kdubya> i broke this laptop i got from dell
[03:30] <kdubya> damn
[03:30] <AceBlade2581> i'm running an old AMD Socket 939 Athlon 64 X2
[03:30] <hajmola> hendrixski: thanks
[03:30] <nightrid3r> kdubya: reinstall is the only way, backup your stuff first
[03:30] <AceBlade2581> only 2 gig's, i'm just curious if anyone knows if it's worth it?
[03:30] <luis08> hello everyone! I've just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my EeePC 900, but I can't get Ethernet to work... I've tried to unplug the battery, but yet it doesn't work... any ideas? thank you!
[03:30] <kdubya> i removed freaking clutter
[03:30] <AceBlade2581> (lol both ram and proc speed)
[03:30] <kdubya> and it broke all kinds of crap
[03:31] <h4mx0r> scientes: I think there are some guides to how to build custom kernels that apply with the other programs
[03:31] <lufis> The "Create a USB startup disk" will let you install ubuntu from a usb drive right?
[03:31] <AceBlade2581> lufis: Yes
[03:32] <lufis> AceBlade2581: cool beans, thanks!
[03:32] <scientes> its just not up to date enough
[03:32] <scientes> it is in debian
[03:32] <h4mx0r> lufis: yes it works well on usb http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html
[03:33] <AceBlade2581> now do i open a drive to share it on a network?
[03:33] <nickrud> luis08, try #ubuntu-eeepc , they specialize
[03:33] <hendrixski> hajmola, This guy's package repository has it for Hardy... if you just replace that with intrepid then it should work    http://sathyasays.com/2008/11/18/a-comprehensive-list-of-ubuntu-hardy-heron-and-ubuntu-intrepid-ibex-repositories/
[03:33] <AceBlade2581> *how
[03:33] <hendrixski> :-/ wow that's a long link.... I should've tinyurl'd it
[03:33] <Sylphid> could anyone tell me how i can do one of 2 things... either max my memory usage forcing  swap to be used..... or force a program directly into swap
[03:34] <hendrixski> anyways... gotta go :-)
[03:34] <kdubya> heh
[03:34] <kdubya> force using swap
[03:34] <kdubya> what on earth for
[03:34] <truent> hey guys, i've done it before.. but having trouble for some reason.. i have a wifi connection via usb to my comp.. works fine.. i want to then forward that connection to a router,.. (using firestarter).. dhcp works fine on the router, but i dont think any traffic is forwarded.. any ideas?
[03:34] <hendrixski> Sylphid, adjust "swapiness"   google it
[03:34] <hendrixski> gtg
[03:34] <hendrixski> bye
[03:34] <Sylphid> kdubya, i know sounds silly

[03:35] <EruditeHermit_> hi, if I am trying to debug a sound problem, what is the basic test that I should run?
[03:35] <kdubya> well, you could just open like like 5000 tabs in firefox
[03:35] <Sylphid> kdubya, but i want to verify my theory before trying to implament a fix hoping and waiting to see if that fixes it
[03:36] <Sylphid> kdubya, no X
[03:36] <h4mx0r> Sylphid: how much memory do you have?

[03:37] <Sylphid> h4mx0r, 1G
[03:37] <truent> h4mx0r, sure
[03:37] <Reilithion> h4mx0r: What was that you were saying earlier about doing something with grub and blacklisting something?  Is there a guide for that?
[03:38] <h4mx0r> Sylphid: yeah why don't you delete the swap partition 1gb is plenty
[03:38] <Gnea> Reilithion: could you please pastebin your xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files?
[03:38] <Sylphid> h4mx0r, not for a heavy mail server
[03:38] <Reilithion> yes.
[03:39] <Gerinych> i can't get nvidia drivers to work, whenever i install nvidia-glx-*** in symantic and restart, the screen goes to 800x600 and says something about no supported devices
[03:39] <h4mx0r> sylphid: then vm.swappiness=0 in /etc/sysctl.conf should turn swap off
[03:39] <Sylphid> h4mx0r, lemme rephrase ... a mailserver running spam scanners
[03:39] <timedroid> Is there any way to stop getting the keyring password prompt to unlock the WPA password on Intrepid?
[03:39] <h4mx0r> Gerinych: what nvidia card you using? perhaps you need the regular or legacy one
[03:39] <disappearedng> any 1 here uses the Eee pc?
[03:39] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> I've set up the global shortcut keys in amarok, but they dont work, is there a enable short cuts option somewhere in amarok?
[03:39] <timedroid> I do
[03:40] <disappearedng> how do I boot into the Bios into the EEE pc?
[03:40] <h4mx0r> Sylphid: well can't you take it offline to run some tests?
[03:40] <disappearedng> like when I restart my eee pc I get into windows really quickly
[03:40] <Sylphid> h4mx0r, yes and no.... its in a remote location
[03:40] <disappearedng> I can't even modify my boot sequence
[03:40] <disappearedng> timedroid
[03:40] <Sylphid> h4mx0r, gotta make a trip to get to it
[03:40] <Gerinych> h4mx0r: nvidia geforce 7600gt, i recently reinstalled ubuntu and the old one ran nvidia0glx-177 with no problem
[03:41] <ryanhaigh> hi all im having issues with nautilus showing duplicate drive entries in the places sidebar, the duplicates are not in the places menu or on the desktop
[03:41] <pryodude> at least you can consitatly boot
[03:41] <pryodude> ....
[03:42] <Reilithion> Gnea: Here is my xorg.conf:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/105041/
[03:42] <Reilithion> And here is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105042/
[03:42] <timedroid> disappearedng, mash F2 after reboot. You can turn off turboboot after that
[03:42] <ryanhaigh> i found a bug about duplicate entries where someone had restarted dbus, that worked for me, but apparently its not a good idea (according to the bug report)
[03:43] <disappearedng> yeah thx
[03:43] <disappearedng> thx a lot man
[03:43] <disappearedng> any good tips for installing ubuntu on eee pc?
[03:43] <disappearedng> what desktop environment are you using?>
[03:44] <lolcakes> disappearedng: isnt there a version of ubuntu tailored specifically for netbooks/the eee?
[03:44] <disappearedng> what really?
[03:44] <timedroid> disappearedng, I'm using GNOME with OpenBox as a window manager
[03:44] <Joker_-_> I just re-installed ubuntu and I forgot what to do with that black screen of death (not the compizz fix, the other one)
[03:44]  * Panarchy says Hi
[03:45] <Joker_-_> I think the last time I had to boot in safe mode, but I dont have this option anymore for some reasons...
[03:45] <Joker_-_> anyone has an idea?
[03:45] <disappearedng> you mean Easy Peasy
[03:45] <lolcakes> disappearedng: no, I mean http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/nbr
[03:45] <usser> disappearedng: just using openbox here
[03:46] <usser> disappearedng: theres really no need for custom install anymore, intrepid supports eee out of the box
[03:46] <Joker_-_> Black-Screen of death here. Anyone can help? (how to boot in safe mode would help me)
[03:46] <Panarchy> I'm trying to limit my Ubuntu installation to only including the following: Network/Internet capabilities, GNOME, DPKG, Apt-get & generic drivers. Can someone please tell me how I can do this? Should I use something like debootstrap? Please tell me what to do!!! Thanks in advance
[03:47] <timedroid> Well, the ACPI stuff still doesn't work in Intrepid
[03:47] <Gnea> Reilithion: not sure.. :/ maybe you should use the radeon module instead of ati?
[03:47] <Joker_-_> Panarchy: linux from scratch? gentoo?
[03:47] <timedroid> The default kernel, that is
[03:47] <Nautilus__> is there a place (in ubuntu or Gnome) I can check to make sure mysql files are being backed up in UTF-8?
[03:47] <rgreer> ive got an HP laptop and ubuntu 8.1, can't get the sound to work, having trouble installing sound drivers, any ideas heh?
[03:48] <usser> Panarchy: server cd, install bare minimum and build on that
[03:48] <Panarchy> Joker_-_ Well I would like to keep all the icons of ubuntu and with most of the functionality of debian
[03:48] <Joker_-_> Panarchy: see usser's idea... ull have to add gnome tho
[03:48] <Joker_-_> Panarchy: server's install doesnt provide a gui
[03:49] <Joker_-_> so, anyone could help me real quick with that black screen??? the wife is going crazy Ill have to go soon ;)
[03:49] <Joker_-_> I'd like to have the basic setup running before I go to sleep...
[03:50] <Sir_Sid> sure
[03:50] <pryodude> print a normal screen
[03:50] <pryodude> and tape it over
[03:50] <Reilithion> Gnea: doesn't the ati module just load the radeon module if it detects the right card?
[03:50] <lar50n> how do i modify my xorg.conf to increase my screen resolution? how can i tell the max my video card will allow? :)
[03:50] <Gnea> Reilithion: never seen it do that
[03:50] <Panarchy> usser: Hmm, I'll give that a go
[03:50] <Joker_-_> pryodude: funny, but not that helpfull :P
[03:50] <Sir_Sid> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:50] <Sir_Sid> thatl get you a gui
[03:50] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: talking to me?
[03:50] <pryodude> what window manager are you using?
[03:50] <Sir_Sid> yes Joker_-_
[03:51] <nightrid3r> lar50n: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105040/
[03:51] <Joker_-_> I have a GUI, thats a normal fresh ubuntu install so it's gnome
[03:51] <Gnea> !resolution
[03:51] <Sir_Sid> or ubuntu-base i think for gnome without all the office options
[03:51] <Sir_Sid> ah then what do you need?
[03:51] <rmokhtar> hello everyone. I need some help. I'm having problems with my audio, using Ubuntu Ibex. I was fiddling around to get Livestation and Firefox to play nice with audio and now I can't hear a thing. Can anyone help?
[03:51] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: I have a black screen and thats it
[03:51] <jp_sf> Panarchy: have a look into https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[03:51] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: ubuntu boots, I see the kernel boot and then ubuntu's splash then bam, nothing
[03:51] <pryodude> rmokhtar
[03:51] <error404notfound> can anyone tell me why I get: http://pastebin.com/m715193e0 ?
[03:52] <pryodude> go  to preferences
[03:52] <pryodude> then sound
[03:52] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: I remooved compiz and all, but it aint changing anything
[03:52] <pryodude> and  mess with the stuff there
[03:52] <Sir_Sid> Joker_-_, so X doesnt boot at all. you have command line acess tho?
[03:52] <igor47> where do i change which services run at startup?
[03:52] <tj83> Hey guys, I need a #ubuntu  OP about ubottu's function anyone available?
[03:52] <jp_sf> Panarchy: then if you want X and gnome you will have to install it x-window-system-core gnome-core gdm ...
[03:52] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: I can have acces to a sheel if I boot in recovey mode, but I dont have internet in that mode so i'm pretty much screwed
[03:52] <rmokhtar> pryodude
[03:53] <Reilithion> h4mx0r: Yes, I am using an AMD 64-bit processor.  Is there a guide for fixing this irq problem?
[03:53] <rmokhtar> I wouldn't be asking if I didn't do that
[03:53] <rmokhtar> I tried almost everything I could think of
[03:53] <Reilithion> or whatever it is
[03:53] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: I would need a safe-mode graphical...
[03:53] <Gnea> !factoids | tj83
[03:53] <rmokhtar> I tried removing pulseaudio
[03:53] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: but I can'T find the option to star ubuntu in graphical safe-mode
[03:53] <Gerinych> i can't get nvidia drivers to work, whenever i install nvidia-glx-*** in symantic and restart, the screen goes to 800x600 and says something about no supported devices
[03:53] <rmokhtar> I tried reinstalling pulseaudio
[03:53] <Sir_Sid> Joker_-_, ah yeah I was going to just recommend you find a sample xorg.conf and place it in /etc/X11/ but if you dont have internet that may be a problem
[03:53] <tj83> Gnea, i know what ubottu is.... I need to know how to add a factoid to the database
[03:53] <Sir_Sid> Joker_-_, find one and move it over using a usb drive
[03:54] <rmokhtar> anyone?
[03:54] <Gnea> tj83: you don't, but you can request one for the ops to approve
[03:54] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: theres is no way to boot in graphical safe mode?
[03:54] <WebcamWonder> Guys, for checkinstall. It is ./configure, sudo make, and sudo checkinstall right?
[03:54] <pryodude> fresh install
[03:54] <Sir_Sid> Joker_-_, It normally boots when X fails automatically
[03:54] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: I dont get why they have remooved a usefull option... sounds pretty much stupid to me...
[03:54] <usser> WebcamWonder: no need to make
[03:54] <Sir_Sid> Joker_-_, What version are you using?
[03:54] <rgreer> whats the command line to install alsa
[03:54] <usser> WebcamWonder: just ./configure && sudo checkinstall
[03:54] <WebcamWonder> usser: ./configure, and sudo make install directly?
[03:54] <tj83> Gnea, well i have a supybot using the Encyclopedia plug same as ubottu in our channel also the database file for ubottu as well. so ya i need it for another channel not this one
[03:55] <WebcamWonder> usser: Ahh.. yeah.. sorry checkinstall.. Awesome thanks
[03:55] <tritium> rgreer: it's already installed
[03:55] <Sir_Sid> Joker_-_, Intrepid?
[03:55] <rgreer> damn, my sound doesn't work is there another sound driver i should try to install as well?
[03:55] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: imo X doest really fails, (8.10) it's just that the drivers are somehow incorrectly sending signal to the monitor or something caus I dont drop to a shell and I have no error. It just hangs there
[03:55] <Gnea> tj83: k, well the webpage tells how to do it
[03:55] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: yup intrepid
[03:55] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: I just downloaded it
[03:55] <tritium> !sound | rgreer
[03:56] <mortal1> just out of curiosity, has anyone done a job search on monster lately?
[03:56] <Shadow_M> i have a quadcore and am wondering what i should do to take advantage of its processing power while booting and running ubuntu
[03:56] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: last time I installed, I used some modded version called UE (ultimate Edition) and it had a safe graphical mode...
[03:56] <rmokhtar> OK, I'm seriously need some help. I just spent 5 hours on this. I'm having problems with my audio, using Ubuntu Ibex. I was fiddling around to get Livestation and Firefox to play nice with audio and now I can't hear a thing. Can anyone help?
[03:56] <mortal1> I can't for the life of me figure out how to do a search by multiple locations?
[03:56] <Sir_Sid> Joker_-_, so does intrepid, they never removed it
[03:56] <administrator__> legond
[03:57] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: so ho do I boot in that safe mode?
[03:57] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: I dont have this option at any time
[03:57] <phunyguy> ok, is there a way to aptitude the latest nvidia drivers?
[03:57] <rgreer> !sound
[03:57] <phunyguy> i know there is a newer release than 177
[03:57] <phunyguy> and i am having some issues with video
[03:57] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: it must be a parameter but Ive been googling for about an hour and I couldnt find it
[03:57] <Sir_Sid> Joker_-_, Im looking for it as well now
[03:58] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> I've set up the global shortcut keys in amarok, but they dont work, is there a enable short cuts option somewhere in amarok?
[03:58] <phunyguy> hello?
[03:58] <phunyguy> :(
[03:58] <Leefmc> Question: Whats the best way to rip a cd to mp3? Sound Juicer seems to be bugged beyond belief. In my year+ of using ubuntu, it has always had a bug limiting its ability to rip mp3s heh
[03:58] <Hammerjak> CoUrPsE|DeAd, do you have compiz enabled?
[03:58] <Sir_Sid> Joker_-_,  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=438486
[03:58] <pryodude> rhythmbox works for me
[03:58] <Sir_Sid> Joker_-_, see if that helps
[03:58] <Joker_-_> lots of ppl having a problem similar to me, but everyone had the mouse cursor mooving and remooving compiz fixed the problem... but it doesnt work for me
[03:59] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: checking it
[03:59] <Leefmc> pryodude: Talking to me?
[03:59] <tritium> Leefmc: you probably didn't install the proper mp3 support packages
[03:59] <pronto> Is there an easy way to manually controll fan speed on a nvidia graphics card
[03:59] <Leefmc> tritium: Actually i already ripped one cd to mp3, but then the bug showed its ugly head. I cant rip the 2nd
[03:59] <Leefmc> tritium: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=646715
[03:59] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Hammerjak, I dont think so...
[03:59] <Sir_Sid> Joker_-_, Its one of the initial entries so you may have seen it already
[03:59] <Hammerjak> ok, nevermind then, compiz hijacks the global shortcuts and i thought that might've helped
[04:00] <Leefmc> tritium: I'll try rhythmbox, im sick of juicer heh
[04:00] <phunyguy> *whine*
[04:00] <Sir_Sid> Joker_-_, but that Ctrl Alt F1 seems it may work?
[04:00] <TheFunkbomb> are there any sites dedicated to building a computer specifically for Ubuntu?
[04:00] <rmokhtar> <-- gives up
[04:00] <rmokhtar> will do a fresh install
[04:00] <rmokhtar> thank you and take care
[04:00] <phunyguy> ok, is there a way to aptitude the latest nvidia drivers?
[04:00] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: the ctrl-bkps or ctrl+f1 etc wont work but im gonna try the other thing
[04:00] <phunyguy> i know there is a newer release than 177
[04:00] <tritium> rmokhtar: fresh install?  Why?
[04:01] <phunyguy> and i am having some issues with video
[04:01] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: about the safe mode
[04:01] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: brb
[04:01] <tritium> phunyguy: no
[04:01] <phunyguy> thanks.
[04:01] <johnofthedead24> Hello all. I'm very new to ubuntu; in fact, I haven't even installed it...just looking for some help/advice/insight
[04:01] <Hammerjak> phunyguy, i see 180 on apt
[04:01] <phunyguy> hmm
[04:01] <Epamek> Major problem/question: I installed ubuntu on my macbook 4.1 and overwrote the mac partition in an attempt to get ubuntu to single boot.  now nothing boots and my disk is stuck in the drive.
[04:01] <phunyguy> is there a source to enable?
[04:02] <Hammerjak> i see nvidia-glx-180-dev is that what you mean?
[04:02] <phunyguy> yes
[04:02] <Hammerjak> then yes :)
[04:02] <tritium> phunyguy: intrepid-updates
[04:02] <phunyguy> its a last-effort before i throw the pc out the window
[04:02] <Leefmc> Oh gawd. Rhythmbox uses the same code for cd ripping as sound juicer. The no-mp3-profile bug is following me :o
[04:02] <Leefmc> Im doomed heh
[04:03] <phunyguy> im using that one tritium
[04:03] <rmokhtar> tritium
[04:03] <phunyguy> but its mythtv 8.10 not regular ubuntu
[04:03] <phunyguy> err
[04:03] <phunyguy> mythbuntu
[04:03] <rmokhtar> what do I do exactly?
[04:03] <phunyguy> :-/
[04:03] <jeeves_Moss> what is the channel for Wine?
[04:03] <FloodBot2> phunyguy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:03] <Hammerjak> what about medibuntu?
[04:03] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> um.
[04:03] <phunyguy> thank you FloodBot2
[04:03] <Panarchy> #wine
[04:03] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> i did a silly, :(
[04:03] <tester_> gksudo suck
[04:03] <jeeves_Moss> has anyone here got Flash CS3 working through Wine?
[04:03] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> i did 'compiz' and i stopped all my shoutcuts.
[04:03] <Reilithion> Gnea: if I echo h > /proc/sysrq-trigger, the help line does show up in /var/log/syslog.  Is that helpful at all?
[04:03] <tester_> no hope, no way to use it in shell script or a shortcut, and use it without password prompt
[04:04] <jrib> tester_: do you have a question?
[04:04] <NGL-TwYsTeD> how do i get the icons on bottom of the screen like mac in ubuntu
[04:04] <tritium> phunyguy: make sure you have the intrepid-updates repository enabled, and have done a "sudo apt-get update" recently.
[04:04] <johnofthedead24> i've been reading about putting the Ubuntu live CD (iso) on a thumb drive but it looks like it can only be done in Ubuntu. I just bought a netbook (with no cd/dvd drive). I've got a 16gb flash drive that i just made bootable and was wondering if anyone knows how to put ubuntu live cd on a thumb drive and then boot from that thumb drive.
[04:04] <phunyguy> ahhh
[04:04] <Hammerjak> NGL-TwYsTeD, install AWN
[04:04] <NGL-TwYsTeD> ty
[04:04] <phunyguy> i found it
[04:04] <Gerinych> i can't get nvidia drivers to work, whenever i install nvidia-glx-*** in symantic and restart, the screen goes to 800x600 and says something about no supported nvidia devices
[04:04] <NGL-TwYsTeD> <3
[04:04] <Hammerjak> np
[04:04] <phunyguy> i was looking just for the update to "happen"
[04:04] <tritium> !sound | rmokhtar
[04:04] <Epamek> anybody runnin gubuntu on a macbook here?
[04:05] <Epamek> rnnung ubuntu*
[04:05] <Epamek> shit i give up
[04:05] <jrib> Epamek: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you
[04:05] <tritium> Epamek: easy on the language, please
[04:05] <phunyguy> i should have known to to an apt-cache search  ;)
[04:05] <Epamek> of sorry forgot where I was :(
[04:05] <phunyguy> silly./
[04:05] <rmokhtar> Thank you tritium
[04:05] <johnofthedead24> I seriously need some help. I can repeat my question if anyone is willing to help me
[04:05] <rmokhtar> will do
[04:05] <tritium> sure, rmokhtar
[04:06] <johnofthedead24> hello?
[04:06] <Epamek> I accidently overwrote my mac partition with ubuntu in an attempt to single boot and now I can't boot an OS at all.
[04:06] <tritium> phunyguy: there's not been an update of it.
[04:07] <pepperjack> Gerinych: do a lspci or lshw and make sure the busid (in lspci the 01:00:00 num on left side) matches the busid in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:07] <timedroid> johnofthedead24, there was some program for windows that loads the ISO and sets up the USB drive automatically
[04:07] <WebcamWonder> Quick question, does checkinstall actually calls make?
[04:07] <johnofthedead24> any clues on what to search in google to find it?
[04:07] <lfaraone> Hi, I'm on a brand new laptop and the load-cycle count is already up to 140, should I be worried? (just unboxed 5 hrs ago)
[04:07] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: just does the same thing
[04:07] <Sir_Sid> ic hmm
[04:08] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: but I tryed to manuelly configure eth0 and it worked so now I've got internet...
[04:08] <Sir_Sid> have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:08] <johnofthedead24> timedroid, any clue of what to search on google?
[04:08] <Sir_Sid> Joker_-_, excellent, what video card do you have?
[04:08] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: I ran dhclient and installed sshd
[04:08] <WebcamWonder> lfaraone: Google it. There was an infamous bug with the harddisk power management
[04:08] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: Imma work on that from work tomorrow.. my gf is going crazy I gotta go ;)
[04:08] <Sir_Sid> Joker_-_, alright, goodluck
[04:08] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: I promised her I wouldnt work all night long ;)
[04:09] <Sir_Sid> nice hah
[04:09] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: thx for the help, for the records, it's a geforce 8800 512mb
[04:09] <timedroid> johnofthedead24, I think I have it  on my Windows partition yet, just need to mount it and check
[04:09] <jrib> Epamek: what is your goal?
[04:09] <Sir_Sid> alright well install the nv drivers and see what happens
[04:09] <Joker_-_> Sir_Sid: will do, thanks again, cya!
[04:09] <Sir_Sid> goodluck
[04:10] <MMouse> *pop*
[04:10] <johnofthedead24> timedroid. so if i'm understanding you correctly, just mount the ISO to the thumbdrive in the same way I would burn it to a cd and then check the md5sum?
[04:10] <Epamek> At this point, it's just to get an OS running again, but I don't see how I can get that to happen with ubuntu failing to boot, no mac OS, and a boot disk stuck in my disk drive.
[04:10] <lfaraone> WebcamWonder: I did. I'm on intrepid, and I've been plugged in the whole time to power.
[04:10] <Hammerjak> Epamek, you can't boot from the boot disk?
[04:10] <pepperjack> Epamek: just a matter of re-installing grub id think. you can boot livecd?
[04:11] <timedroid> johnofthedead24, I think you need somethiing else
[04:11] <jrib> Epamek: I never installed ubuntu by itself on my macbook, but afaik grub is supposed to be able to boot.  Do you get a grub menu?
[04:11] <Epamek> the livecd is stuck in the computer and won't eject.  And, I'm not getting a grub menu.
[04:11] <WebcamWonder> lfaraone: Here is the bug describing everything, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695
[04:11] <tritium> !macbook | Epamek
[04:11] <jrib> Epamek: what do you get?
[04:11] <tritium> Epamek: have you perused that?
[04:11] <johnofthedead24> timedroid, if you have any idea of a software name, or if anyone does that will allow me to put the Live CD on a thumb drive from windows, please let me know
[04:12] <rogueapple> can anyone help me get my sound working on my laptop? works fine when I boot to windows, but when I boot to ubuntu, no sound
[04:12] <Leefmc> Question: So is sound juicer the only way to rip mp3s? there has got to be another way..
[04:12] <Hammerjak> johnofthedead24, can wubi do that? or boot from the livecd and do it?
[04:12] <Epamek> I did to dual boot my imac but forgot to make the necessary changes for my macbook.  Do you guys know if i can bring it into a shop to get the cd manually removed?
[04:12] <nightrid3r> johnofthedead24: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html
[04:12] <johnofthedead24> hammerjak, i have a netbook, so no disk drive
[04:12] <pepperjack> Epamek: paperclip?
[04:13] <Hammerjak> oh, i thought you said the disk was stuck in the drive
[04:13] <Leefmc> Epamek: It has no eject button? If its like my mac pro, hold the mouse buttons down while booting, that'll eject it
[04:13] <johnofthedead24> nightrid3r thank you SO much. thanks to timedroid and hammerjak as well for all your help
[04:13] <jrib> Epamek: you can't boot from the livecd by pressing 'c' while it is booting?
[04:13] <Hammerjak> lol, got people mixed up, nm :)
[04:13] <pepperjack> Epamek: on PCs there is always a small hole in the door you can insert a paperclip or similar item to force eject
[04:13] <jrib> !who | Epamek
[04:13] <Leefmc> Epamek: Not on macs
[04:13] <Leefmc> erm
[04:13] <Epamek> ooh good idea I'll try that out.  I'll try the c boot and the paperclip if that doesnt work.
[04:13] <Leefmc> pepperjack: Not on macs.
[04:13] <doubletoker> what is a good wap network testing tool?
[04:14] <Leefmc> pepperjack: I have a mac pro, no paper clip heh.
[04:14] <lfaraone> WebcamWonder: Thanks
[04:14] <jrib> Epamek: don't stick a paper clip in your macbook
[04:14] <MMouse> epamek- if you hold down option on boot you'll get a silly screen which asks you what you want to boot, hit eject and you'll get the cd
[04:14] <WebcamWonder> Quick question, does checkinstall actually calls make?
[04:14] <WebcamWonder> Quick question, does anyone knows if checkinstall actually calls make?
[04:15] <Gerinych> pepperjack: my xorg.conf doesnt have an entry for my video card. I think it's broken, because I can remember a bunch of devices in the file and now there are only 3 entries
[04:15] <Epamek> MMouse:  I've tried that a few times and not only do I not get an image of the disk like i normally would, the disc doesnt eject...
[04:15] <Hammerjak> Gerinych,  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  ?
[04:16] <Gerinych> hammerjak, im doing that now
[04:16] <ari_stress> hi guys, something strange happens here. my 'mc' midnight commander now use 'joe' when editing files. why is that?
[04:16] <zetheroo> ﻿jtaji: that file "default.keyring" does not exist on my system
[04:17] <Leefmc> Argh, i hate all the stupid little holes in linux heh, its so great, but it has a lot of little pockets of rough spots.
[04:17] <pepperjack> Gerinych: it doesnt really need a new entry the only thing you really want to check typically is the busid and then driver. so you presumably have a Section Device and under that a Identifier Card0 or whatever and then a Driver  "nv" or whatnot then busid.
[04:17] <fyrmedic> I have an issue with atheros based wireless. I ran sudo lshw -c network and it recognizes my atheros controller but with iwconfig and ifconfig it isn't there. This is a fresh install of xubuntu from the alternate cd on a acer aspire one netbook. I don't have wired internet at this time.
[04:17] <NoisyDude> Hello! Is this the right place to ask for guidance on setting up lvm on ubuntu 8.10 server?
[04:18] <nickrud> ari_stress, sudo update-alternatives --config editor  should fix that
[04:18] <WebcamWonder> Are you guys sure, it is ./configure && sudo checkinstall. Or is it ./configure && make && sudo checkinstall?
[04:18] <ari_stress> nickrud: many thanks dude. i'll try that
[04:18] <nightrid3r> NoisyDude: yes
[04:18] <Gerinych> pepperjack, oh, well, ill fix the file and check the busid
[04:18] <pepperjack> fyrmedic: is there an entry for the aspire one in the hardware section of the wiki?  most people record problems there
[04:19] <zetheroo> how do I make a new password for my keyring?
[04:19] <Epamek> could I perhaps try putting an ubuntu startup thingy on a flash drive and starting with that from the option screen?
[04:19] <NoisyDude> I recently setup bubuntu 8.10 server on a system with 3 drives, all 200G. I used one to load linux and I want to setup lvm with raid1 on the other two. but I am getting an error...
[04:20] <gnutron> zetheroo: i unistalled seahorse and disabled gnome-keyring manager, fixed that nag of a problem and i still use gpg under cli no probs no more.
[04:20] <NoisyDude> Anything I do gets me "Can't open /dev/sdc exclusively - not removing. Mounted filesystem?"
[04:20] <NoisyDude> drives are not mounted
[04:20] <fyrmedic> pepperjack: I don't know I will check it, though I haven't had a lot of luck with the forums and such today.
[04:20] <zetheroo> ﻿gnutron: ok ... thanks ... I still need seahorse though so I have to find another solution
[04:20] <Hammerjak> NoisyDude, is your /etc/fstab correct?
[04:21] <Hammerjak> your drives might've gotten remapped to a different device id (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb)
[04:21] <Gerinych> hammerjak, im in process of reconfiguring the thing, but im stuck at the screen where it says "For the X server to handle the keyboard correctly, a keyboard model must be entered.  Available models depend on which XKB rule set is in use." and it just goes on. it says <Ok> at the bottom but i can't highlight it or click it
[04:21] <Epamek> Haha I got it out!  Thanks a lot guys.
[04:21] <NoisyDude> it seems so... no reference to either sdb or sdc
[04:21] <Hammerjak> Gerinych,  hit 'tab'?
[04:22] <Gerinych> hammerjak, oh, wow i feel stupid, thanks
[04:22] <Hammerjak> :)
[04:22] <Hammerjak> i love the easy problems
[04:22]  * nickrud lives for low hanging fruit
[04:22] <NoisyDude> one thing that may be related... I had ubuntu 8.10 desktop on this system and I was able to have lvm running. Now that reloaded 8.10 server and killed partitions using fdisk I cannot use them.
[04:23] <Leefmc> Question: Anyone with sound juicer mind giving me the gstreamer line in the default mp3 profile?
[04:25] <Gerinych> pepperjack: i fixed xorg.conf, but i can't see any busids at all. Here's what's in my xorg.conf right now: http://pastebin.com/m91a96b5
[04:26] <NoisyDude> Hammerjak: the only references in fstab are for sda (my linux drive) and a couple CD/DVD units. that's it.
[04:26] <Hammerjak> NoisyDude,  well... that probably tells you why it can't mount /dev/sdc
[04:27] <pepperjack> Gerinych: sorry im cli only at the moment
[04:27] <NoisyDude> Don't I have to "pvcreate" etc the device prior to mounting them?
[04:28] <Leefmc> There we go, finnally got it working. I removed sound juicer and used asunder. :D
[04:28] <Leefmc> thank god there is an alternative.
[04:28] <albuntu> hello to all
[04:29] <albuntu> can anyone tell me how can i create a desktop launcher from terminal ?
[04:29] <NoisyDude> Hammerjak: Don't I have to "pvcreate" etc the device prior to mounting them?
[04:30] <Hammerjak> i don't know, i've never used that command
[04:30] <Hammerjak> you can do 'mount -t ext3' or something
[04:30] <majnoon> !ot
[04:30] <Hammerjak> i don't know the command offhand
[04:33] <WebcamWonder> Compiling pidgin with checkinstall gave me a bunch of error 1... Any clue?
[04:34] <FrozenFire> Not really anything to do with technical support, but check out http://www.ubuntu-trading.com/ Apparently there's a Ubuntu soft drink...
[04:34] <Flannel> FrozenFire: Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:34] <FrozenFire> Ah, ok. Sorry ;)
[04:35] <meistergrado> How does one set up a printer on Ubuntu?
[04:36] <rob> crontab -e
[04:36] <rob> 5 * * * * echo test
[04:36] <rob> doesn't work
[04:36] <rob> any ideas?

[04:40] <jp_sf> Guest85328: user must be in /etc/cron.allow otherwise only root can cron
[04:40] <girlbuntu> what is he talking about?
[04:40] <albuntu> can anyone tell me how to add a launcher from terminal ?
[04:40] <girlbuntu> no
[04:40] <rmokhtar> ok, thank you everyone I guess I'll look for help elsewhere
[04:41] <tritium> girlbuntu: he's answering your question
[04:41] <Hammerjak> albuntu, 'ln -s <launcher> ~/Desktop' ?
[04:41] <Hammerjak> is that what you're asking albuntu ?
[04:41] <girlbuntu> i know, i can't seem to get a bit of help here?!?!?!
[04:41] <albuntu> Hammerjak: yes. a launcher for firefox for example. sorry for my bad english by the way
[04:42] <tritium> girlbuntu: you were given the answer to your question.  How is that not help?
[04:42] <girlbuntu> who is answering my question????
[04:42] <Hammerjak> albuntu, so you want firefox on your desktop right?
[04:42] <WebcamWonder> girlbuntu: type /join #xubuntu
[04:42] <WebcamWonder> girlbuntu: #xubuntu is the name of the channel
[04:42] <Gnea> girlbuntu: you type this in irc:  /join #xubuntu
[04:42] <albuntu> Hammerjak: yes but i know how from gnome. i want the terminal command. thank you
[04:43] <girlbuntu> my husband set this computer up............im having trouble with it!!!!!!!
[04:43] <girlbuntu> he is at work
[04:43] <AbtZ> girlbuntu, what is your problem?
[04:44] <girlbuntu> everyone is yelling at me!!!
[04:44]  * Gnea smells a troll
[04:44]  * WebcamWonder agrees with Gnea
[04:44] <Gnea> girlbuntu: not in here we're not, but I sure do see you not staying calm in here.
[04:44] <AbtZ> girlbuntu, then cover your ears :)
[04:44]  * jp_sf troll mode on, yep it is
[04:44] <albuntu> lol
[04:44] <girlbuntu> what is he talking about????
[04:45] <Gnea> girlbuntu: is this your first time on IRC?
[04:45] <Hammerjak> albuntu, you can try 'ln -s /usr/bin/firefox ~/Desktop'
[04:45] <jp_sf> albuntu: the command you are looking is updatedb ?
[04:45] <Hammerjak> and it will put a symlink on your desktop
[04:45] <Hammerjak> though i've never tried that
[04:45] <albuntu> Hammerjak: thank you. i'll try that and tell you back the results
[04:45] <jp_sf> Hammerjak: and sudo chmod u+x /usr/bin/firefox ~/Desktop
[04:46] <jp_sf> Hammerjak: and sudo updatedb
[04:46] <girlbuntu> it's the first time i have ever used this computer, my husband left me with little instruction on how to use it
[04:46] <Hammerjak> jp_sf, i didn't realize you could chmod a symlink....
[04:46] <albuntu> jp_sf: i have to do updatedb after that ?
[04:46] <AbtZ> what's the purpose of chmoding the link?
[04:47] <jp_sf> Hammerjak: hum ... well I mean chmod -H ...
[04:47] <genii> AbtZ: Futility, since it doesn't work
[04:47] <Gnea> girlbuntu: okay then, well we can help you, but you need to, please, be patient. we have been trying to help you, but everytime someone tries to, the only thing i see you doing is freaking out with all of the punctuation. that doesn't solve problems, it only creates more problems. do you understand?
[04:47] <girlbuntu> ubuntu (debian) does not use updatedb
[04:47] <jp_sf> true a chmod will do anything .... unless you do a -H
[04:47] <girlbuntu> how can i check for dangling symlinks on ubuntu?
[04:48] <Gnea> girlbuntu: with the commandline.
[04:48] <tritium> You go to hardly knowing how to use it, to looking for dangling symlinks, and knowing about updatedb?
[04:48] <girlbuntu> can i install the kernel just like slackware?
[04:48] <jp_sf> Hammerjak: my bad
[04:48] <WebcamWonder> !trash
[04:48] <AbtZ> genii, it works for me
[04:49] <girlbuntu> NEVERMIND!!!
[04:49] <girlbuntu> how do i custom compile a kernel foe ubuntu?
[04:50] <Gnea> ...crackhead
[04:50] <AbtZ> lol
[04:51] <fyrmedic1> Atheros wifi on aspire one netbook:  I have done a lot of researching on this issue. The card is recognized as "unclaimed" on lshw -c network. ifconfig and iwconfig don't report it. I don't have wired networking available to that machine at this time. Does anyone know of a solution other than ndiswrapper. Additionally, the restricted driver is enabled in hardware manager.
[04:51] <surjeet> hi
[04:51] <albuntu> girlbuntu are you on drugs ?
[04:51] <Gnea> albuntu: she left (probably is
[04:51] <kostmo> Suddenly all my themes are gone
[04:52] <albuntu> Gnea: lol
[04:52] <surjeet> plese i want to inastall php
[04:52] <Flannel> Gnea: That's not really necessary.
[04:52] <Rohan_SM> Hello I wish to create guest account for my Ubuntu Ibex. I'm following the gui though I need some help and hints. Just to be on safer side
[04:52] <Gnea> !php | surjeet
[04:52] <Gnea> Flannel: ...
[04:54] <fyrmedic1> .
[04:54] <mortal1> does anyone here use vncviewer on a regular basis?
[04:54] <albuntu> jp_sf: Hammerjak i created the symlink and did sudo updatedb and it didnt worked as well as i was expecting because it says it is an executable file and give options to run in terminal , execute and run. and it also doesnt have an icon.
[04:55] <Rohan_SM> Username can't contain Capital letters right ? and I will have to choose unprivileged profile right ?
[04:55] <Hammerjak> albuntu, did you do that chmod command also?
[04:55] <Wintervenom> Power went out in the middle of filesystem shifting.  Am I screwed?
[04:55] <rww> mortal1: Do you have a question about it?
[04:55] <Gnea> Wintervenom: 'shifting'?
[04:55] <jp_sf> Hammerjak: even if he did it wouldn't have done much
[04:55] <Gnea> Rohan_SM: you can use capital letters if you want
[04:55] <AbtZ> mortal1, yep
[04:55] <mortal1> yeah I was wondering if anyone could tell me about the -via option that lets you automagically tunnel with ssh encryption
[04:56] <Wintervenom> Gnea:  In the partitioner.  On the partition for home.
[04:56] <jp_sf> Hammerjak: I see you are trying to blame I see
[04:56] <Hammerjak> jp_sf,  i just assume everyone is smarter than me :)
[04:56] <Gnea> Wintervenom: should be okay, you're starting the installation over?
[04:57] <chaitanya> hi
[04:57] <albuntu> Hammerjak: no
[04:57] <Rohan_SM> Any hint on Advanced>> Main Group Settings ? And Home Dir is it going to be created automatically ?
[04:57] <albuntu> Hammerjak: what is the chmod command for that ?
[04:57] <Gnea> !vnc | mortal1
[04:57] <sn007ake> Hello All ..... I have a question.... Wondering if anyone Knows the website or name of program that you use to detect the best video drivers and installs them.
[04:57] <Gnea> Rohan_SM: it usually is, yes
[04:58] <Rohan_SM> Any hint on Advanced>> Main Group Settings ? what should I choose ?
[04:58] <AbtZ> !FreeNX
[04:58] <jp_sf> albuntu: forget the chmod, sorry I made a mistake, what exactly are you trying to start Firefox ?
[04:58] <Wintervenom> Gnea:  Yes.  I was resizing the root and home partitions.  It resized root, and started moving home.  It finished moving the partition and was on moving filesystem.  Power died at thee gigs in.
[04:58] <Wintervenom> * three
[04:59] <rww> Wintervenom: eek. That's one of the places you /don't/ want it to die :(
[04:59] <AbtZ> jp_sf, i made the symlink, it appeared on my desktop, and double-clicking launches firefox for me - no chmodding necessary
[04:59] <albuntu> jp_sf: can i pm you and explain it there if it is not a problem for you ?
[04:59] <Gnea> Wintervenom: did you have a backup of /home someplace else?
[05:00] <jp_sf> AbtZ: yes yes you are right, I'm sorry I will read man chmod 3 times, sorry
[05:00] <Gnea> Wintervenom: s/did/do/g
[05:00] <AbtZ> even got an icon for it. granted, i use xfce
[05:00] <Wintervenom> To make things worse, it's my friend's laptop I was working on.  :'(
[05:00] <AbtZ> lol, why are you apologizing? :)
[05:00] <Gnea> Wintervenom: I'll take that as a no...
[05:01] <relaxabit> so stickam mic does not work eh?
[05:01] <Gnea> Wintervenom: bootup the livecd and see if you can read it
[05:01] <jp_sf> AbtZ: no just had the feeling that for the next 2 hours I will have somebody why are you trying to chmod a symlink (joking)
[05:01] <ryanCH> what is the package name for xmms under ubuntu with aptitude?
[05:01] <Gnea> !xmms | ryanCH
[05:01] <jp_sf> AbtZ,: that said you can chmod a symlink though using -H
[05:02] <AbtZ> jp_sf, i am no chmod expert. what does it do?
[05:02] <relaxabit> does anyone use the mic on stickam.com?
[05:03] <jp_sf> albuntu: sure sure, but you know the idea of spaeking here is that when I speak I have AbtZ that correct me it provides us a third neutral opinion to validate my claims
[05:03] <eQuk> .
[05:03] <albuntu> ok
[05:03] <Rohan_SM> Any hint on Advanced>> Main Group Settings ? in  Users Settings ?
[05:04] <jp_sf> AbtZ: well sometimes you may want to change the permission on a symlink that comes as lrwxrwxrwx you can do that using -H
[05:04] <Wintervenom> Gnea:  I am doing that now.  I just explained to him what happened.
[05:04] <relaxabit> anyone in here use the mic in stickam.com?  anyone use firefox 3.0.5 and flash is working well?
[05:05] <Gnea> Wintervenom: good luck
[05:05] <rww> Rohan_SM: Leave it blank or set to the group with the same name as the username.
[05:05] <Rohan_SM> ok thanks a lot
[05:06] <AbtZ> albuntu, what window manager or DE are you using?
[05:07] <relaxabit> hey AbtZ ? do you use firefox 3.0.5?
[05:07] <Foxgguy2001> ZOMG
[05:07] <Foxgguy2001> i has a linux
[05:08]  * Foxgguy2001 feels accomplished
[05:08] <albuntu> AbtZ: gnome
[05:08] <AbtZ> relaxabit, yes. or no, not really, i use opera, but i have firefox 3.0.5 installed
[05:08] <AbtZ> albuntu, and what is it that doesnt work for you when you create the symlink?
[05:09] <albuntu> AbtZ: it works but it doesnt open when i double click it. it says that its an executable file and give me the 4 options
[05:09] <albuntu> i do execute and it opens firefox but i want more an .desktop file than a symlink
[05:10] <meistergrado> Question: recursive scan in clamTK antivirus: serves to scan everything in a directory? directory scan just gets individual files within directories
[05:10] <AbtZ> btw, jp_sf, the -H option is for chown, not chmod
[05:10] <rgreer> i have an intel ich9 sound card which is not listed under alsa's supported soundcards, is there another driver i can get?
[05:10] <xiambax> omg! the ubuntu channel is now larger then the debian channel
[05:10] <AbtZ> albuntu, i get it
[05:10] <xiambax> i havent been on freenode in awhile
[05:10] <xiambax> this is intense
[05:11] <relaxabit> so AbtZ  opera works with stickam and the mic?
[05:11] <AbtZ> albuntu, this is not my area of expertise, but try finding the firefox .desktop file on your computer and just copying it to your desktop
[05:12] <gnutron> AbtZ: I haven't used XFCE for ages but can't you make a shortcut for FF off the menu and put it on a panel?
[05:12] <AbtZ> relaxabit, stickam? no idea what that is. opera works for browsing :)
[05:12] <relaxabit> AbtZ,  does flash work?
[05:12] <AbtZ> relaxabit, yes
[05:12] <relaxabit> how did you get it working AbtZ ?
[05:13] <AbtZ> gnutron, maybe, i dont know, i dont need it --  i use gnome-do for almost everything
[05:13] <Rohan_SM> I m having very annoying xperiance with firefox in ubuntu. It keeps saying "your browser has been updated and needs to be restrated" but in fact I havent any update. I restarted firefox as well as ubuntu more than twice but It just keeps poping up below address-bar. Closing, Restart, Reboot nothing is helping. What should I do ?
[05:13] <gnutron> AbtZ: Ok.
[05:13] <AbtZ> relaxabit, i installed opera :) it was working out of the box for me
[05:13] <relaxabit> not for me man?
[05:13] <Light-> Rohan_SM, try deleting your ~/.mozilla/firefox directory
[05:14] <AbtZ> Light-, wont that remove his bookmars too?
[05:14] <Light-> Abtz: probably
[05:14] <Light-> Rohan_SM, back up your bookmarks first
[05:14] <AbtZ> :)
[05:15] <Rohan_SM> I m sorry but its beyond my understanding to locate something installed in Linux :\
[05:15] <AbtZ> relaxabit, dunno, maybe you dont have the flash package installed. google on how to best install it in ubuntu
[05:15] <Light-> Rohan_SM, ~ is your hole directory (Places->Home). Then press CTRL+H and you will see .mozilla. go into that and delete the firefox directory
[05:15] <Light-> home*
[05:15] <tripchronic_> i inserted a USB stick into my computer which holds a 2GB micro SD card, linux shows USB DISK under Places but doesn't seem to open it up?
[05:16] <AbtZ> relaxabit, it should actually ask you, as soon as you enter a web page using flash, if you want to install it or not.
[05:16] <relaxabit> AbtZ, why no tell me how you installed it?
[05:16] <relaxabit> no it does not
[05:16] <AbtZ> relaxabit, 'cause i dont remember :)
[05:17] <rgreer> i have an intel ich9 sound card which is not listed under alsa's supported soundcards, is there another driver i can get?
[05:17] <gnutron> Rohan_SM: are you looking for a file or program?
[05:17] <Light-> rgreer: you could try oss4, although dont ask me how to use it and dont ask for support
[05:17] <AbtZ> relaxabit, here, check this out: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash
[05:18] <rgreer> can install it with sudo apt-get install oss4
[05:18] <Light-> if theres a package available, which I doubt
[05:19] <rgreer> yeah couldnt find it
[05:19] <rgreer> theres a soft drumming thats played quietly, but i can't play any sounds
[05:19] <rgreer> like cd's or anything
[05:20] <Light-> you could buy a cheap PCI card for like $15
[05:20] <rgreer> its on my laptop
[05:20] <Light-> oh
[05:20] <rgreer> ive got vista paritioned on here as well and it works find on that
[05:20] <rgreer> i just hate vista
[05:21] <Light-> so do most of the people who've had to use it I think
[05:21] <AbtZ> rgreer, why? its at least more secure than XP :)
[05:21] <Light-> AbtZ, why, because it has User Account Control? :P
[05:21] <rgreer> it's just obnoxious
[05:21] <rgreer> isnt very resource-friendly
[05:22] <Steelflint> Vista wasn't too bad, for me, but the first thing I did with it was shut off the User Account Control.
[05:22] <Torell> I turned it off and BSod within 10 minutes
[05:22] <Steelflint> I have a laptop I use for work that has it on there.
[05:22] <AbtZ> UAC is a way of trying to emulate the sudo/root-password window in linux. unfortunately for MS, due to the inherent design flaws in the core of the OS itself, UAC sucks ass in comparison
[05:22] <AbtZ> it's more or less the only way to do it, though
[05:23] <Steelflint> I completely agree, AbtZ .
[05:23] <Torell> aye, agreed
[05:23]  * nickrud looks around, wondering how he wandered into ##windows
[05:23] <Rohan_SM> Hello again I tried deleting mozilla folder but it just keeps poping when I next launch firefox. "your browser has been updated..."
[05:24] <Light-> Rohan_SM, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox?
[05:24] <AbtZ> nickrud, well, we should be allowed to trashtalk the OS for a little while, no? :)
[05:24] <rgreer> can you have oss4 and alsa installed?
[05:24] <Light-> rgreer, yep, you have to tell apps to use oss though
[05:24] <core4> zzzzz
[05:25] <jinja-sheep> It's not possible to send notification messages via terminal? :(
[05:25] <Light-> rgreer, and oss4 has alsa emulation anyway (dunno how good it is though)
[05:25] <Gnea> jinja-sheep: write, wall
[05:25] <rgreer> wheres a good website to get it off of?
[05:25] <jinja-sheep> Gnea:  write wall ?
[05:25] <nickrud> Rohan_SM, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox-3.0 firefox-3.0-branding
[05:26] <AbtZ> Sound on Linux is a complete and utter mess, unfortunately
[05:26] <Gnea> jinja-sheep: they are basic terminal commands to do what you're looking for
[05:26] <core4> hi . . .
[05:26] <Light-> rgreer: http://www.opensound.com/
[05:26] <jinja-sheep> Gnea:  Oh alright.  Will look at the manual.  Thanks.
[05:26] <Gnea> AbtZ: sounds fine here
[05:26] <Leo> hey,everyone,this is my audio device infomation :00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02), and ICH9 is not in the soundcard list for intel. is there any channel to my sound problem?
[05:27] <Light-> rgreer: you're probably better off downloading and compiling the source (click "Developers") unless you want to go along with their licensing crap
[05:27] <AbtZ> Gnea, it is still a mess. google around and read about PA, ALSA, OSS etc
[05:28] <Gnea> AbtZ: the only thing that's ever a mess is the implementation. most distributions don't have that problem.
[05:28] <nickrud> the only thing wrong with sound in linux is you need a doctorate to understand and configure it ;(
[05:28] <AbtZ> Gnea, i havent every had much problems with linux, but the big ones that i have had, have all been sound-related
[05:28] <Light-> lol
[05:28] <Steelflint> Light, thanks for the tip to Rohan earlier on the home/ctrl+h thing, it enabled me to find my Thunderbird install location and import my email files from my old Thunderbird(WinXP) install, been trying to figure that one out the last couple days.
[05:29] <Light-> Steelflint, no problem :)
[05:29] <rgreer> if im using ubuntu 8.1, how do i find out what version of linux im using?
[05:29] <Gnea> AbtZ: i've had so many problems with linux over the years that i don't even look at something like the sound driver itself as a problem anymore
[05:29] <nickrud> used to be easy, but very inflexible; now it's very flexible but not very easy. I expect the easy to come back soon
[05:29] <FaTHeRBaDTouCH>  irc.qukenet.org
[05:29] <Light-> rgreer: uname -a
[05:29] <AbtZ> i remember all the shit i had to go through to get my 5.1 surround sound working properly for my AC97 sound card.. bleh
[05:30] <nickrud> AbtZ, please think disney g rated language in #ubuntu, policy etc
[05:30] <tritium> AbtZ: language, please
[05:30] <Gnea> AbtZ: 5.1 is easy or difficult, depending, again, on the implementation... also, please do watch your language around here
[05:30] <AbtZ> lol
[05:30] <nickrud> pile on AbtZ !! :)
[05:31] <AbtZ> sowy, guess im a big potty mouth :P
[05:31] <tgo> i am trying to compile a custom kernel module on a ps3 running ubuntu but the symlinks inside /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.25-2-powerpc64-smp
[05:31] <tgo> are broken
[05:31] <tgo> and i have a bunch of launchpad entries going back to november about it
[05:31] <tgo> s/have/saw/
[05:31] <tgo> and its still not fixed for this arch
[05:31] <tgo> and symlinking to the ports dir does not work either as suggested
[05:32] <a931bw> What is Qt?
[05:32] <nickrud> isn't the ps3 a community supported release?
[05:32] <tgo> it has lots of errors in the top level headers about shift sizes
[05:32] <Steelflint> Uhh oh, TechSupport left, whatever shall we do?! heh
[05:32] <Gnea> tgo: don't the ps3 people have their own mailing list?
[05:32] <sheep> a931bw: it's the widget toolkit used by KDE and several programs
[05:32] <Light-> a931bw, QT is the widget toolkit KDE is based on
[05:32] <tgo> ok this channel is useless
[05:32] <Gnea> heh
[05:32] <rww> a931bw: The set of programming libraries used to display buttons, windows, and other "widgets" by KDE (the GNOME equivalent is gtk)
[05:32] <nickrud> for ps3, probably except on random occasions
[05:33] <rgreer> anyone know the easiest way to download oss4?
[05:33] <rgreer> having some trouble heh
[05:33] <Light-> rgreer, with your web browser
[05:34] <nickrud> rgreer, you probably won't get much help here putting in oss4; it gets too busy here to do much more than support official release software.
[05:34] <CarlFK1> this used to work (like a year ago) $ espeak hi; PaHost_OpenStream: could not open /dev/dsp for O_WRONLY PaHost_OpenStream: ERROR - result = -10000
[05:34]  * nickrud looks around at the quietude
[05:34] <Light-> rgreer, http://www.4front-tech.com/developer/sources/stable/gpl/
[05:34] <Light-> rgreer, now you're on your own
[05:34] <rgreer> thank you sir
[05:34] <rgreer> appreciate the helpo
[05:35] <nightrid3r> rgreer: http://www.opensound.com/
[05:35] <a931bw> How i can install Skype on my ubuntu 7.04
[05:35] <tritium> !skype
[05:36] <rgreer> yeah i went to opensound, can't figure out which version to download
[05:36] <jinja-sheep> Gnea:  Err, It's not what I'm looking for.  Run a command in your terminal --> notify-send 'Your mom says' 'I love you very much!'  <--  You'll see Dbus session, but it's not possible to do it over the ssh ?
[05:36] <Light-> try 4.1 build 1051
[05:37] <a931bw> skype:
[05:37] <a931bw>  Depends: libqt4-core (>=4.2.1) but it is not installable
[05:37] <a931bw>  Depends: libqt4-gui (>=4.2.1) but it is not installable
[05:37] <sheep> a931bw: which version of ubuntu did you say you were using?
[05:37] <a931bw> 7.04
[05:37] <Light-> a931bw, upgrade to 8.10 and try again
[05:37] <rww> jinja-sheep: try `DISPLAY=":0" notify-send 'Your mom says' 'I love you very much!'`. That works for running other graphical apps via SSH for me.
[05:37] <a931bw> i'm can't
[05:37] <sheep> a931bw: 7.04 isn't even supported anymore and qt4 isn't in the repositories for it
[05:37] <a931bw> Okay i'm going to shcool
[05:38] <jinja-sheep> rww:  With the backtick too?
[05:38] <Light-> a931bw, without mad leet hax, you will not get qt4 to run on 7.04
[05:38] <rww> jinja-sheep: nope, take out the backticks
[05:38] <NoisyDude> I am somewhat of a newbie and I need to get rid of all the raid modules loaded at startup by ubuntu SERVER 8.10. How can I do that?
[05:38] <jinja-sheep> rww:  Noted.  Will test it.
[05:38] <NGL-TwYsTeD> ok with AWN manager how would i set it up to look like the icons on bottom of desk like mac when move over them they highlight kind of like dreamlinux
[05:38] <rww> jinja-sheep: let me know if it works, I'm interested in doing something similar :)
[05:39] <jinja-sheep> rww:  And my mom love me.  Lol.  It worked. ;)
[05:39] <jinja-sheep> rww:  What evil trick do you have up your dirty sleeves? :O
[05:40] <rww> jinja-sheep: awesome! Yeah, the usual problem with graphical apps in ssh is that the DISPLAY variable isn't set right (that variable tells the program which Xorg session to use), hence that working :)
[05:41] <jinja-sheep> rww:  I thought you are going to do something with the... :0
[05:41] <jinja-sheep> As in the smiley face.
[05:41] <jinja-sheep> rww:  Will try the DISPLAY command.  New trick for me. :)
[05:42] <Rohan_SM> What is good software (ubuntu)to rip audio cds ? I wish to use AAC codec
[05:42] <quaal> how do i release a program from the terminal
[05:42] <quaal> without closing the program
[05:42] <RegressLess> Is it possible to watch Fox.com TV shows on Ubuntu? <--Not just a random question.
[05:42] <CarlFK1> how do I run a script after networking is up?
[05:42] <rww> jinja-sheep: oh! :0 is the weird notation that variable needs. If you have more than one Xorg session running, they get numbered :1, :2, etc.
[05:42] <CarlFK1> quaal: huh?
[05:42] <quaal> CarlFK1, install wicd
[05:42] <AbtZ> quaal, use screen
[05:42] <nightrid3r> quaal: ./command &
[05:42] <quaal> CarlFK1, what
[05:43] <quaal> nightrid3r, yea i know but i already ran the program
[05:43] <medo> Enter text here...hi every body
[05:43] <Frederick> folks I cannot make Xserver work I have (EE)No devices detected.
[05:43] <redvamp128> you were talking about -- OSX style menus have a heads up at this
[05:43] <rww> quaal: Ctrl-Z to suspend the program, then type "bg" to switch it to the background.
[05:43] <jinja-sheep> rww:  Got it.  DISPLAY=":0" firefox worked too.  Just for GUI applications.  Great.  Now I know how to launch GUI-related apps.  :)
[05:43] <redvamp128> http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/05/howto-install-brand-new-dock-with.html
[05:43] <quaal> rww, sweet thanks
[05:43] <rww> quaal: Dunno if that'll close the program when you close the terminal, though, but it'll get you back a terminal prompt.
[05:43] <medo> i want to speak for any one
[05:43] <quaal> rww, lets find out!
[05:44] <rww> !who | redvamp128
[05:44] <AbtZ> rww, i think all programs you run from a terminal close when you close said terminal
[05:44] <quaal> rww, nope, thunderbird still open. you win
[05:44] <RegressLess> Is it possible to watch Fox.com TV shows on Ubuntu? Please tell me before my wife switches back to Vista!
[05:44] <\Kira> sometimes ubuntu server lags. Like when I try to connect to the http port on firefox, it takes so long that I have to refresh, then it loads instantly. Sometimes I get the same thing with ssh. Any ideas why?
[05:44] <quaal> RegressLess, no it isnt. fox banned ubuntu
[05:45] <Frederick> folks I cannot make Xserver work I have (EE)No devices detected.
[05:45] <Frederick> when the instaler fist set up it I had trerrible flicker problems
[05:45] <AbtZ> RegressLess, why would she want to do that anyway? :)
[05:45] <AbtZ> rww, yeah, looks like i was wrong. cool :)
[05:45] <RegressLess> quaal: It seems that way, but surely there's a workaround
[05:45] <tritium> RegressLess: you can, with a TV tuner card.
[05:45] <RegressLess> AbtZ: She likes her stupid TV shows
[05:46] <redvamp128> NGL-TwYsTeD:
[05:46] <rww> RegressLess: You could try running Firefox under Wine. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405397 . Doesn't look like you can do it in a native browser, though (the Move Networks codec thing it needs is Windows and Mac only :( )
[05:46] <redvamp128> NGL-TwYsTeD:  check this one out http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/05/howto-install-brand-new-dock-with.html
[05:46] <jinja-sheep> What do you mean?  Fox banned Ubuntu?  I'm lost.  Watching Fox shows via Internet?
[05:46] <Dezine> I don't have a cd drive or a usb thumb drive to install Ubuntu.. How can I go about installing on an empy hard drive other than wubi? Or could I install with wubi and move it to a physical drive?
[05:46] <AbtZ> RegressLess, bittorrent is your fruend :)
[05:46] <AbtZ> *friend
[05:47] <RegressLess> rww: it works, if you want to call it that. It is really bad on Wine
[05:47] <workingchair> Hey guys, is there a way to get the scroll wheel to scroll between workspaces when I have no visual effects checked under appearance preferences?
[05:47] <redvamp128> RegressLess:  which winversion 1.1.12 is the best one yet
[05:47] <CoJaBo> RegressLess: What happens when you try it on ubuntu?
[05:47] <rww> RegressLess: That sucks :(. That Move codec thing is used in a bunch of different networks' on-demand things, not just Fox.
[05:47] <talntid> hehe.
[05:47] <Flannel> Dezine: What do you currently have on the computer?
[05:47] <talntid> ever tried to install ubuntu via Wubi INSIDE wine?
[05:48] <Dezine> Windows
[05:48] <redvamp128> I watch most fox shows on Hulu
[05:48] <Frederick> can I have help on xserver?
[05:48] <kevi1> just installed ubuntu on a compaq presario V2000, cant get wireless towork. have tried several online fixes and get the response in terminal of "package cannot be found"
[05:48] <jinja-sheep> workingchair:  Probably not.  Switching workspaces via mouse sounds like a visual effect. :)
[05:48] <Dezine> I have an empty hard drive available
[05:48] <RegressLess> CoJaBo: you get a message stating only Windows and Mac are supported
[05:48] <Dezine> already installed I mean
[05:48] <Flannel> Dezine: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[05:48] <RegressLess> redvamp128:
[05:49] <CoJaBo> RegressLess: Try changing the Firefox user agent to one from the Windows version.
[05:49] <RegressLess> redvamp128: 1.0.1
[05:49] <Dezine> Perfect, thank you Flannel
[05:49] <CoJaBo> Some sites ban Linux users for no reason.
[05:49] <Rohan_SM> Thanks for the help nagging of "firefox has been updated..." stopped
[05:49] <jinja-sheep> CoJaBo:  Avoiding DDoS, I guess.  <_<
[05:49] <rww> CoJaBo, RegressLess: user-agent changing doesn't help, I've tried. The site needs a codec thing to be installed to work, and it's only available for Windows and OS X.
[05:50] <CoJaBo> rww: Whats the codec/plugin it uses?
[05:50] <CarlFK1> rww: got a url?
[05:50] <\Kira> sometimes ubuntu server lags. Like when I try to connect to the http port on firefox, it takes so long that I have to refresh, then it loads instantly. Sometimes I get the same thing with ssh. Any ideas why?
[05:50] <RegressLess> rww: if you try wine, it seems like it's just flash player
[05:50] <jinja-sheep> rww:  How about VirtualBox?
[05:50] <kevi1> just installed ubuntu on a compaq presario V2000, cant get wireless to work. have tried several online fixes and get the response in terminal of "package cannot be found"
[05:50] <\Kira> kevi1: install the package, then
[05:51] <rww> CoJaBo: Some Move Networks ( http://www.movenetworks.com/ ) thing. I'm not sure on the exact details; I ended up just using my roommate's OS X computer :(
[05:51] <kevi1> kira: how do i do that? i'm using sudo apt-get when i get the error message.
[05:51] <redvamp128> You may want to go to the Devside RegressLess:
[05:51] <jinja-sheep> kevi1:  Use the ethernet cord.  Update all packages -- Then you set up the Wifi part later on.
[05:51] <bullgard4> Why divides the Configuration Editor its keys in (more than) two branches: apps and schemas?
[05:51] <workingchair> jinja-sheep, right, but I'm just wondering if there is a way to select specific visual effects.  is there a config file with each visual effects setting that I can turn on, or something?
[05:51] <\Kira> kevi1: you want sudo apt-get install insertpackagenamehere
[05:51] <kevi1> jinja-sheep: I have the ethernet cord connected. did the updates it wanted me to do.
[05:52] <redvamp128> RegressLess:  I have mine setup to auto update with each development release--
[05:52] <pyro2927> question: i dual boot OSX and ubuntu. is there any way to let amarok access my itunes library? the directory is showing up as locked
[05:52] <jinja-sheep> workingchair:  You could switch the workspace using keyboard shortcuts... if that helps.
[05:52] <kevi1> kira: when i do that, it says "E: Couldn't find package packagenamehere"
[05:52] <CoJaBo> rww: In cases I have seen, the only thing that doesn't play is the ads (which require WMP). The video plays fine, and is usually flash.
[05:52] <RegressLess> redvamp128: Devside? Development side? what do you mean, please tell me this secret!
[05:52] <RegressLess> redvamp128: I would like that
[05:52] <\Kira> kevi1: before downloading any packages, you have to run the command: sudo apt-get update
[05:53] <jinja-sheep> kevi1:  What command did you use?
[05:53] <RegressLess> redvamp128: you mean wine, I suppose
[05:53] <opera> ！dmesg
[05:53] <workingchair> jinja-sheep, what is that shortcut.  I could probably live with that...
[05:53] <\Kira> kevi1: that will update the packages you have with the ubuntu package server, so it can tell you of updates and find the packages to downlaod
[05:53] <kevi1> kira: i didn't know that. i'll try it now
[05:53] <opera> what it dmesg
[05:53] <jinja-sheep> workingchair:  It's under System --> Pref --> Keyboard Fsckcut.
[05:54] <\Kira> sometimes ubuntu server lags. Like when I try to connect to the http port on firefox, it takes so long that I have to refresh, then it loads instantly. Sometimes I get the same thing with ssh. Any ideas why?
[05:54] <RegressLess> So did we get any ideas out of that?
[05:54] <RegressLess> I'm just as lost as I was
[05:54] <jinja-sheep> rww: I said VirtualBox earlier.  Did you get that?
[05:55] <workingchair> jinja-sheep, thanks
[05:55] <rootbox> jo
[05:55] <kevi1> kira and jinja-sheep: thanks for the help. I've got to finish this later. but thanks!
[05:55] <jinja-sheep> workingchair:  Welcomed. :)
[05:55] <rww> jinja-sheep: Yeah. I never tried VirtualBox, though that might work. I might be making a WinXP virtualbox client at some point, so I'll check it out.
[05:55] <redvamp128> RegressLess:  check for a pm
[05:55] <rootbox> virtualbox sux
[05:56] <CoJaBo> lol, yes, it does
[05:56] <johnofthedead24> can anyone help me connect via wireless?
[05:56] <CoJaBo> Any error, and your VM is toast.
[05:56] <jinja-sheep> VirtualBox > RootBox. :)
[05:56] <RegressLess> I can never tell if programs suck (in Ubuntu) because I don't have that much experience
[05:56] <rootbox> jinja-sheep: ######ßß
[05:56] <rootbox> ???????
[05:56] <RegressLess> I end up thinking it's me
[05:56] <rootbox> whats the deal
[05:57] <rootbox> virtual box suxx
[05:57] <rootbox> its like that
[05:57] <FloodBot2> rootbox: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:57] <rootbox> ? stupid bot
[05:57] <jinja-sheep> RegressLess:  It's just same as Windows applications.  Sure there are tons of them out there but you generally don't test them or avoid them in first place.
[05:57] <johnofthedead24> ?wireless
[05:57] <rww> rootbox: That bot is there for a good reason ;)
[05:57] <Frederick> folks I cannot make Xserver work I have (EE)No devices detected. When the installer first set up it I had terrible flicker problems now it does not work after envyng
[05:57] <jinja-sheep> RegressLess:  The trick is to find out which works the best... Ask around.  Etc. :)
[05:57] <rootbox> yeah...
[05:57] <Tanis143> Ok, got a video capture question
[05:58] <johnofthedead24> I just got an Averatec Buddy and have installed ubuntu on it. Can anyone tell me how to get the wireless card to work?
[05:59] <wilem> anyone have any luck with an acer aspire one and ubuntu?
[05:59] <Light-> johnofthedead24, if its not supported out of the box, you'll have to use ndiswrapper
[05:59] <Light-> !ndiswrapper | johnofthedead24
[05:59] <Tanis143> I've looked all over for this solution and have found nothing. Using XawTV I can get video, but no audio. I've checked line in volume, all the way up. I've hooked my speakers directly to the vid cap card, no audio. I know the card works because it worked fine under windows just last week
[05:59] <jinja-sheep> wilem:  What problem do you have? :o
[06:00] <crunchbang> how do I browse the local network on crunchbang
[06:00] <Light-> wilem: I have an Acer Aspire and it works (not aspire one though)
[06:01] <Light-> crunchbang: you chose the wrong distro
[06:01]  * jinja-sheep is in the bathroom with his Aspire One just to talk with you guys.
[06:01] <wilem> jinja-sheep: just wanted to see if anyone has got the netbook andubuntu tp work
[06:01] <Light-> crunchbang: try something like linneighborhood
[06:02] <jinja-sheep> wilem:  I used Ubuntu-UMPC.  It worked for me.  However, you should avoid Ubuntu-Mobile version.  It's aimed at touchscreen laptops.
[06:02] <wilem> sorry typing isnslow and messed up. iphone keyboard is hard to get used to
[06:02] <crunchbang> I like it so far just can't browse the network, what's linneighborhood?
[06:03] <Tanis143> Ok, how do I register a nick on freenode?
[06:03] <jinja-sheep> Lol @ Wilem and his iLostPhone.
[06:03] <Light-> crunchbang, a legacy application for browsing smb networks. ideally you'd use nautilus, but crunchbang doest use that
[06:03] <jinja-sheep> !register | Tanis143
[06:04] <crunchbang> thank you :) now to go to the package manager and get linneighborhood
[06:04] <Light-> crunchbang: im not even sure if it still around. basically you're looking for an app that can browse windows networks
[06:05] <devin_> does ubuntu have out of the box support for broadcom cards yet?
[06:05] <crunchbang> this is what it comes up with A GTK+ application that allows you to browse network shares
[06:05] <crunchbang> pyNeighborhood is GTK+ 2 rewrite of a well-known GTK+ 1 tool
[06:05] <crunchbang> LinNeighborhood.
[06:05] <Light-> devin_: it didnt when I tried 8.04, but 8.10 might, wireless support was greatly improved
[06:05] <jinja-sheep> devin_:  Mostly likely... Yes.
[06:05] <Light-> crunchbang: try pyNeighborhood then
[06:05] <Brack101> hi I get this message when trying to run a windows program with wine that has a "gold" rating on appdb. wineserver crashed, please enable coredumps (ulimit -c unlimited) and restart.  Can anyone shed some light on this?   Wine 1.1.12
[06:06] <devin_> so if I used the livecd of the newest ubuntu, I should get it to work?
[06:06] <jinja-sheep> Brack101:  You might have more luck with Wine IRC.
[06:06] <Light-> devin_: try it?
[06:06] <Light-> Brack101: are you using wine from the wine repos or wine from the ubuntu repos?
[06:06] <devin_> sweet, thanks a lot
[06:07] <Brack101> Light- wine repos
[06:07] <crunchbang> so I installed it and now what am I looking for?
[06:07] <nickrud> devin_, depends on the broadcom: my laptops 4311 has worked since gutsy, with the various fwcutters
[06:07] <Light-> Brack101, ohk, thats what you should be using. Your error doesnt really help us much, best talk to the wine people
[06:08] <Brack101> it also says this wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000048 at address 0x70d09697 (thread 0009), starting debugger...
[06:08] <jmazikowski> Hi, I'm running 8.04 on my HP dv6000 laptop. I've been running it for a while with no issues, but today my wireless card decided to refuse to connect to any and all wireless networks.
[06:08] <Tanis143> Ok, can ya'll see me now?
[06:08] <Tanis143> jmazikowski, have you checked to make sure the card is switched on?
[06:08] <Light-> jmazikowski, was it in and out of standby when the issue occured?
[06:08] <Light-> that too
[06:09] <jmazikowski> card is on, it sees the networks but won't connect
[06:09] <jinja-sheep> Brack101:  What are you using WINE for?
[06:09] <Light-> jmazikowski, its probably NetworkManager being crap. Have you tried enabling/disabling networking and wireless?
[06:10] <Tanis143> Anyone here good with video capture cards?
[06:10] <jinja-sheep> Brack101:  This is why you should use VirtualBox instead of WINE -- http://ardchoille.nfshost.com/Linux/WineRunsWindowsViruses

[06:13] <Frijolie> jinja-sheep: well that will let me move it around but the top edge just "bumps" against the bottom edge of my top taskbar
[06:14] <Luckilee> Is anyone familiar with "gfxboot" from the ubuntu repositories? I am trying to get an ubuntu themed grub, like Linux Mint's grub, but the instructions I found through Google don't seem to work anymore.

[06:14] <jinja-sheep> Frijolie:  You can enable the plugin that'll allow you to resize.
[06:14] <Frijolie> jinja-sheep: does this have something to do with Compiz?
[06:14] <nickrud> !jaunty | FiReSTaRT figure on beta a month, month and a half before release
[06:14] <jinja-sheep> Frijolie:  Let me check.
[06:15] <opera> !dmesg
[06:15] <jinja-sheep> Frijolie:  What application is it you're having issue with?
[06:15] <Frijolie> Jinja-sheep: it's not one particular application
[06:15] <jinja-sheep> Frijolie:  Small resolution? :O
[06:15] <Frijolie> jinja-sheep: it happens to numerous applications
[06:15] <Frijolie> jinja-sheep: no I'm running 1280x800 resolution
[06:16] <jmazikowski> CarlFK1: I don't see a dump of any sort
[06:16] <opera> who can tell me the different between dmesg and less demesg
[06:16] <Frijolie> jinja-sheep: like right now, I've got a Nautilus window that I need to resize
[06:16] <rww> Firestone: It's in Alpha, not beta, right now. Also, you're probably better off asking in #ubuntu+1
[06:17] <nickrud> Frijolie, alt-middle click the window
[06:17] <CarlFK1> jmazikowski: when you click the networkmanager icon, do you get a list of APs?
[06:17] <phrostbite> I am trying to remember the command in the terminal to install the ubuntu restricted something or other that has the java in it. I know its sudo apt-get then the name of the file but i cannot rmember what its called.
[06:17] <jmazikowski> opera: adding 'less' makes it so that you can go thru it like pages...
[06:17] <crunchbang> pyNeighborhood failed to scan workgroup what am I doing wrong?
[06:17] <jinja-sheep> Frijolie:  You might want to "sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager"  -- From there -- Be sure your visual effects are at its max -- And check out the Compiz Setting Manager under System -- Look for a resize plugin that'll let you resize using keyboard and/or mouse.
[06:17] <rww> opera: dmesg lists all of the kernel output messages since you started the computer. "dmesg | less" scrolls that output so you can press space after each page to read the next page. dmesg less does nothing.
[06:18] <Frijolie> nickrud: Thanks!
[06:18] <rww> phrostbite: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:18] <jmazikowski> CarlFK1: When I click the networkmanager icon it gives me a list of the networks around me and "wired network"
[06:18] <Frijolie> nickrud: that did it
[06:18] <phrostbite> Thank you so much rww
[06:18] <jinja-sheep> nickrud:  I learned something new. ;)
[06:18] <Frijolie> nickrud: so it was something having to do with Compiz...
[06:18] <rww> phrostbite: No problem. Good luck getting Java set up :)
[06:18] <phixxor> hey I'm following forum instructions but I haven't heard anything in a while. Can someone help me get grub working again? I get a file not found error
[06:19] <nickrud> Frijolie, I've had similar problems, and resizing the window cleared it up permanently. Some setting got out of wack, as best I could guess
[06:19] <Frijolie> nickrud: alright, I'll look into that. Thanks for the tip!
[06:20] <phixxor> can I use the grub commandline to make it work again?
[06:20] <phixxor> do I need to edit the file
[06:20] <CarlFK1> jmazikowski: well, my lame advice is to reboot.  if that works, do that for a few weeks and hope an update fixes it :)

[06:24] <NGL-TwYsTeD> ryanCH i can help you with that if you wish
[06:24] <nickrud> Luckilee, you can install startupmanager, it's a gui interface to setting up grub and usplash
[06:24] <NGL-TwYsTeD> i got the install so far
[06:25] <jinja-sheep> nickrud:  What's it I'm looking for -- to replace the boot screen -- ?  uplash ?
[06:25] <nickrud> jinja-sheep, usplash for the moving bar with ubuntu text above
[06:26] <Luckilee> nickrud: thanks, I'll give that a try
[06:26] <jmazikowski> CarlFK1: as odd as it may sound, it looks like it worked. connected right up. i guess actually shutting down and booting worked better than just 'rebooting'

[06:29] <ryanCH> so i just install any of those?
[06:29] <phixxor> my grub menu shows up, but none of the linux entries work. Can someone help me fix them?

[06:33] <meistergrado> yessir phixxor, do you need to fix the bootloader by chance because it was overwritten by windows?
[06:33] <mattgyver83> phixxor, what are you trying to do with grub?
[06:33] <camelel> good morning all

[06:33] <unknowncode> good morning

[06:34] <camelel> go for it
[06:34] <StuntManMike> hahaha
[06:34] <StuntManMike> I think someone's already in the subject..
[06:34] <StuntManMike> anyway
[06:34] <StuntManMike> I have two SATA HDD
[06:34] <meistergrado> oh gosh, no idea then, phixxor.
[06:34] <Flannel> !enter | StuntManMike
[06:34] <mattgyver83> phixxor, did you run into any errors when installing, or did you just run a live cd?
[06:35] <StuntManMike> ok alright let me just do some test
[06:35] <StuntManMike> !enter
[06:35] <mattgyver83> ... or, did you possibly edit the grub menu
[06:35] <StuntManMike> hmm..
[06:35] <phixxor> mattgyver83, meistergrado: this happened as a partitioning fiasco, but I got the partitions back up and running. now I just need to fix grub
[06:35] <StuntManMike> so.
[06:35] <camelel> you have 2 sata hd's
[06:36] <unknowncode> plz i need to config my vga card
[06:36] <StuntManMike> yeah im writing now
[06:36] <mattgyver83> phixxor, if it was due to a partitioning error its probably more worth your while to reinstall ubuntu.
[06:36] <camelel> what's the problem then?
[06:36] <unknowncode> on ubuntu 8.10
[06:36] <camelel> ah kk

[06:36] <Uranellus> hello, how can I find out with what options a packages was configured before it was compiled?
[06:36] <meistergrado> Does anybody run an antivirus program through WINE? I thought it was as practical solution to cleaning the XP partition of my dual-boot from ubuntu, which won't be affected...
[06:36] <phixxor> mattgyver83: No, that's not necessary. All my partitions have been restored thanks to testdisk
[06:36] <mattgyver83> in theory it shouldnt run into any errors, hold on a second.
[06:36] <phixxor> mattgyver83: the partitions are completely readable and in the right place. no lasting damage has been done
[06:37] <mattgyver83> no problems before this?
[06:37] <camelel> meistergrado: i advice you to download Hiren's emergency boot disk, it will allow you to scan through a live system
[06:37] <camelel> very professional tool
[06:37] <camelel> lots of options

[06:40] <StuntManMike> I know it has something to do with the grub thing, and I read interesting things about "reinstalling" it.. but since it's installed on the disk that's not booting, I wouldn't know if I can (re)install it on the WinXP drive without any problem.
[06:41] <meistergrado> camelel: The link is borked, file not found on Rapidshare :/
[06:41] <phixxor> StuntManMike: that seems like a pretty convoluted problem, but Super Grub Disk may be able to fix it, as it can fix many boot problems
[06:41] <camelel> ah sec mate

[06:44] <mattgyver83> Unfortunately looking at that forum, the only thing i can think is that somewhere in your menu.lst the path isnt correct.  Otherwise myself id assume it was corrupt, backup and reinstall.
[06:44] <unknowncode> no

[06:48] <camelel> StuntManMike: ok when you setup Ubuntu, one of the first steps is to make linux partitions, now, what i advice you is to decrease the size of your windowx xp partition using PQ magic, and creating a new partition for mount point "/boot" , it needs to be 1.5 times the amount of ram you've got

[06:51] <phixxor> unknowncode: sorry, that was for someone else. what problem are you having with your graphics?
[06:51] <StuntManMike> well I do have a simple solution: everytime I wanna boot in Ubuntu, I just need to go in the BIOS settings, disable the SATA containing WinXP and when booting from HDD, It'll boot Ubuntu on the only left disk
[06:51] <rohil> so yes my windows has its driver .. thats how i am chatting right now

[06:56] <halycon> hey everyone I occasionally get a really odd display problem sometimes when I start ubuntu or right now when I resumed from Standby the whole screen is filled with __ covering the whole screen. Is there anyway I can fix this without restarting?
[06:56] <w00b3> ok
[06:56] <w00b3> who would have guessed
[06:56] <unknowncode> but i have a general problem like when i play a movie and make it full screen the screen play slow
[06:56] <omid8bimo> any one?
[06:56] <FireVai> unknowncode, are ya using compiz?
[06:56] <unknowncode> no
[06:56] <FireVai> oh ok
[06:56] <Light-> halycon: it looks like you're one of the unlucky ones that standby doesnt work properly for
[06:57] <phixxor> unknowncode: your computer might just be too slow
[06:57] <w00b3> how do you download the Mongolian characters?
[06:57] <unknowncode> maybe
[06:57] <FireVai> can someone point me in the right direction on finishing this kernel config please?
[06:57] <unknowncode> thx for ur help phixxor :)
[06:57] <halycon> Light-, oh there are sometimes when it resumes fine but right now I just resumed and my display is all corrupted
[06:57] <phixxor> unknowncode: no problem :)
[06:58] <FireVai> halycon, how old is your monitor?
[06:58] <mattgyver83> halycon, maybe just crtl+alt+backspace and log back in
[06:58] <Light-> halycon: try ctrl+alt_backspace (to restart X) and if that doesnt work then you'll need to restart the whole PC
[06:58] <w00b3> id like to order some mongolian fried characters please
[06:58] <phixxor> w00b3: mmmmmmmm
[06:58] <halycon> FireVai, it is the lcd of my laptop and it is only a year old or less
[06:59] <FireVai> oh ok halycon
[06:59] <rohil> !wifi
[07:00] <halycon> ok guys
[07:00] <mattgyver83> Does anyone know how i can make ubuntu recognize my NAP, or PAN service (not even sure if there two different things0
[07:00] <halycon> ill give that s hot
[07:00] <halycon> shot
[07:00] <w00b3> ubottu doesnt know anything about characters
[07:00] <Light-> !nap
[07:00] <Light-> !pan
[07:00] <Light-> what is NAP/PAN?
[07:00] <mattgyver83> Network Access Point
[07:00] <unknowncode> anyone here write a java application on ubuntu terminal
[07:01] <unknowncode> ?
[07:01] <Light-> unknowncode, lolwut
[07:01] <mattgyver83> PAN is a service, i belive its what you use to create a NAP
[07:01] <Light-> mattgyver83, never heard of it lol
[07:01] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> when putting applications into sessions to boot up when logging in, what should i added to the command to make the application get sent to a different virtual desktop?
[07:02] <mattgyver83> Light, me either!  Im just trying to tether internet connection from my G1 to my ubuntu laptop, and thast what i gotta do...
[07:02] <mattgyver83> some bull...
[07:02] <unknowncode> i mean i want to write a java and compile it
[07:02] <unknowncode> on ubuntu
[07:02] <Light-> mattgyver83, so like internet connection sharing? try Firestarter
[07:02] <dnyy> My sound has stopped working.  It was working fine until I went into services/daemons and checked "alsa-utils" then unchecked it (was unchecked originally).  I've tried reloading, force reloading, and reinstall.  Nothing seems to work, though.  Any ideas? :(
[07:03] <mattgyver83> go to alsa-mixer, make sure that the volume is up
[07:03] <dnyy> It is, not muted either.
[07:03] <mattgyver83> or i think you can actually alsa-mixer restart
[07:03] <Light-> dnyy: what does "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start" do?
[07:04] <rohil> @phixxor , Atheros which is the manufacturer of my wifi card is not listed in the "Cards supported" page but it is listed at the main wifi docs page
[07:04] <mattgyver83> I have problems every once in a while with videos hanging and i have to restart alsa
[07:04] <dnyy> Light- says "Setting up ALSA.." But no sound still.
[07:04] <mattgyver83> Light, i think it just starts the ALSA daemon.
[07:04] <Light-> right
[07:04] <mattgyver83> oh, nm
[07:04] <dnyy> How do you restart alsamixer?  I've tried suspending/reloading/etc alsa and nothing has worked, but I don't get any errors to go by. :/
[07:05] <mattgyver83> im pretty sure its alsa-mixer restart, that didnt work?
[07:05] <Light-> dnyy: have you tried restarting your PC? (making sure alsa-utils is checked in Services)?
[07:05] <rww> Light-: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils doesn't start or stop anything. It stores and restores the volume level on shutdown and startup. ALSA has a kernel component and is started there, iirc.
[07:06] <dnyy> Light- I havne't restarted WITH it checked, because it was unchecked previously (when sound was working).  Should I try it anyway?
[07:06] <dnyy> mattgyver83: restarting alsamixer did nothing. ;/
[07:06] <dnyy> haven't*
[07:06] <mattgyver83> sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[07:06] <mattgyver83> sorry, i was way off.
[07:07] <dnyy> Says its shutting down, starting up, then finishes. But no sound. :/
[07:07] <Light-> dnyy: dunno whats going on then, try with it checked if all else fails
[07:07] <dnyy> I wish it'd at least give me some errors. :(
[07:07] <rww> dnyy: run "alsamixer" (without sudo) at the terminal and make sure that your volume isn't muted
[07:07] <dnyy> rww: it isn't
[07:07] <rww> dnyy: Did you check that in alsamixer, or in the GUI?
[07:07] <mattgyver83> does it still do it after a reboot
[07:07] <mattgyver83> ?
[07:07] <Light-> dnyy: In system->preferences->sound, click "test" by one of the thingys, does an error come up?
[07:08] <dnyy> I'm using openbox, don't have a sound test. ;/
[07:08] <dnyy> that I know of, at lesat
[07:08] <Light-> oh
[07:08] <dnyy> least*  I'm spelling horrible right now. ;<
[07:08] <mattgyver83> And have you tryed different types of media to make sure its just not a volume setting on one (ie youtube player turned down)
[07:08] <dnyy> Yuh, it doesn't even play the startup sound in GDM
[07:08] <Light-> dnyy: to launch from terminal is gnome-sound-properties
[07:09] <mattgyver83> Man, might be broke.  j/k outta my scope...
[07:09] <omid8bimo> hey guys, sometimes my hdd starts working hard and i don't know why, and slows down the system. how can i find out what is eating my harddisk I/O?
[07:09] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> when putting applications into sessions to boot up when logging in, what should i added to the command to make the application get sent to a different virtual desktop?
[07:09] <dnyy> Light- brb, gonna restart first.
[07:09] <Light-> omid8bimo, its probably because Linux is swapping out to disk
[07:09] <Gumby> does anyone here know what a .bundle is?  I'm downloading the latest vmware and it comes in .rpm and .bundle
[07:10] <omid8bimo> Light-: i don't have any swap drive
[07:10] <Light-> Gumby: lolwut, never heard of it
[07:10] <Gumby> Light-: I know
[07:10] <Gumby> weird
[07:10] <Light-> omid8bimo, thats a little dangerous :\ dunno then
[07:10] <omid8bimo> Light-: i know :)
[07:10] <rww> Gumby: VMWare Workstation or Server?
[07:10] <Gumby> rww: workstation
[07:11] <omid8bimo> Light-: i just wanna know where to check and find out that specific process
[07:11] <rww> Gumby: According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Workstation you should just be able to run it in a terminal. See that page.
[07:11] <Gumby> VMWare-Workstation-6.5.1-126130.i386.bundle
[07:11] <Gumby> rww: thanks
[07:11] <Light-> omid8bimo, no idea sorry, all I know about is top and the system monitor thingy in gnome
[07:12] <omid8bimo> Light-: thanks anyway dude
[07:13] <dnyy> When it booted back up alsa-utils was unchecked again. :/
[07:14] <Light-> dnyy: virus? :P im out of ideas then, do you have gnome-sound-properties ?
[07:14] <dnyy> don't have it
[07:14] <dnyy> I'll install it real quick if it doesn't require a shit ton of other gnome things
[07:14] <Light-> it probably will
[07:14] <Light-> all it does is allow you to choose default audio providers and test them
[07:15] <Light-> if the test fails it usually produces a good error though
[07:16] <dnyy> doesn't even show up in apt-get
[07:16] <dnyy> I do have gnome-volume-manager, though
[07:17] <gogereaver> the servers burbing ahhh
[07:17] <gogereaver> lol
[07:17] <dnyy> haha, I half feel retarded and half still don't get it
[07:17] <dnyy> gnome-volume-manager had everything muted even though it wasn't showing so in alsamixer
[07:17] <dnyy> I didn't know I had gnome-volume-manager, much less use it, so I have no idea how they got muted. :/
[07:18] <opera> i type "sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf" in terminal. how can i quit?
[07:18] <Light-> dnyy: so its working now?
[07:18] <dnyy> Light- Yup, thanks for the help. :)  Still horribly confused as to what happened, but at least it works. :P
[07:18] <gogereaver> this key :
[07:18] <gogereaver> thats shift
[07:19] <gogereaver> then save and quit via commands
[07:19] <gogereaver> or have a forgotten lol
[07:20] <gogereaver> i
[07:20] <moDumass> hey all, um, had a power outage and now i cant mount my hdds
[07:20] <Light-> moDumass: errors?
[07:20] <moDumass> i get a "mount timeout" error
[07:20] <gogereaver> moDumass chkdsk them if there ntfs
[07:20] <moDumass> Light-, yeh mount error 110 = Connection timed out
[07:20] <Light-> fsck them if theyre ext
[07:20] <moDumass> Light and gogereaver, they exist, my other machines are streaming from them
[07:21] <Light-> eh? cant you only copy data from a MOUNTED drive?
[07:22] <rww> opera: To quit and save changes, press the escape key, then the : key, then the w key then enter, then escape colon q enter. To quit without saving, do escape colon q! enter
[07:23] <rww> opera: Oh, and next time, use nano instead of vi. Vi is ridiculous.
[07:24] <Light-> rww: careful, you might start a religious war :P
[07:24] <chriswk> actually vi allows you to queue commands so writing to file and quitting is done in one step by :wq
[07:24] <gogereaver> Light- hehe
[07:25] <moDumass> Light-, no i can usually read, write, do the whole lot
[07:25] <moDumass> but now, this machine cant even see the NAS
[07:25] <gogereaver> the wars on
[07:25] <gogereaver> kik
[07:25] <Light-> oh, so you're mounting nfs shared drives from a nas?
[07:25] <Light-> or smb drives?
[07:25] <moDumass> Light-, the are smb drives
[07:26] <gogereaver> i bet the samba keys changed
[07:26] <Light-> gogereaver: samba has keys? lol
[07:26] <trollboy> why is it, when I click on a window it doesn't get focus.. although I can select/drag/etc... I have to alt-tab or click on the application bar
[07:27] <gogereaver> Light- if hes using securty
[07:27] <gogereaver> or the ip adresses changed
[07:27] <Light-> right. I was going to suggest restarting samba on the nas, making sure he could ping the nas, then trying again
[07:27] <viky> my boot drive is shown as unknown in gparted and i get grub eroor17 at boot what is happening?
[07:28] <moDumass> Light- and they are streaming to an xbmc at the moment, but i usually can read and write to them from this machine, but not today
[07:28] <gogereaver> viky: it usb
[07:28] <viky> no normal hdd
[07:28] <Light-> moDumbass: dunno whats going on then
[07:28] <pentatonic> been years since i've been on irc
[07:28] <gogereaver> viky: well you can try supergrub live cd to try and fix it
[07:28] <Yuki_narutofan> Anyone can help get Ubuntu connected via ADSL?
[07:28] <gogereaver> viky: or the ubuntu live cd
[07:28] <opera> hello. i type' sudo -i" to arrive the "#"state  ,and how can i return back the "$" state?
[07:29] <viky> i am on ubuntu live cd right now
[07:29] <Flannel> opera: use 'exit' to leave a root terminal
[07:29] <Hemebond> Evening all. Is Firefox really slow for everyone else?
[07:29] <Light-> Yuki_narutofan, plug into adsl modem. im assuming DHCP is enabled on the modem. thats all there is to it
[07:29] <opera> THANK FLANNEL
[07:29] <pentatonic> opera: sudo passwd
[07:29] <gogereaver> Yuki_narutofan use the network setup in ubuntu it has adsl settings
[07:29] <damo> hey, whats the best tv tuner card for a pc running ubuntu?
[07:30] <pentatonic> will ask for user password, then promt for ne UNIX passwd. that will be your root password. then
[07:30] <pentatonic> su
[07:30] <Yuki_narutofan> Connected, but it doesn't work. Also, I need to do it from the command line.
[07:30] <Yuki_narutofan> When i restart networking, I get "No DHCPOFFERS received."
[07:30] <pentatonic> use new password
[07:30] <pentatonic> you be logged into rot
[07:30] <pentatonic> root
[07:31] <Yuki_narutofan> ...and cannot ping anything on the Internet
[07:31] <Flannel> !noroot | pentatonic
[07:31] <TuxMan2> hi
[07:31] <pentatonic> makes sense
[07:31] <pentatonic> sorry
[07:31] <gogereaver> Yuki_narutofan sometimes you need to powercycle a modem with a new os
[07:31] <balrog__> is there a way i can tell (on a macro scale) how similar two files are?
[07:31] <gogereaver> Yuki_narutofan sounds like it
[07:31] <TuxMan2> how do I send a command to an xterm windows??? for example : xterm -geometry 120x40  ....." how to make it list files ?? (ls)?
[07:31] <Flannel> balrog__: besides diff?
[07:32] <Yuki_narutofan> I power-cycled
[07:32] <Yuki_narutofan> The modem is connecting ok
[07:32] <Yuki_narutofan> ...and pppoe is connecting ok, but I still cannot ping the Internet
[07:32] <Hemebond> In fact my whole Ubuntu system is quite slow since upgrading to 8.04.
[07:33] <viky> do i need to format my boot and reinstall the grub?
[07:33] <gogereaver> viky no
[07:33] <gogereaver> viky you can restore grub manuly
[07:33] <viky> how to do that?
[07:33] <balrog__> Flannel: well, they're completely different files, not just different versions of files
[07:33] <Flannel> !grub | viky, first link
[07:33] <gogereaver> viky easy way is to use supergrub
[07:33] <Flannel> balrog__: right, diff works on arbitrary files.
[07:34] <gogereaver> viky its a grubtoolset on a live cd
[07:34] <TuxMan2> ok found it
[07:34] <viky> ok i will try supergrub
[07:34] <soulangel> alguien habla español
[07:34] <Yuki_narutofan> ..also, when I do ifconfig, I see two entries for eth0: eth0 and also eth0:avahi -- not sure what that means
[07:34] <gogereaver> !es
[07:34] <damo> i have a pci video card how do i get it to run on ubuntu?
[07:35] <damo> i have a pci tv card how do i get it to run on ubuntu?
[07:35] <balrog__> Flannel: well, they arent that similar so im going to get thousands of different lines returned.  is there a way i can get diff to count the different lines in the files?
[07:36] <viky> "find  /grub/stage1" gives error 15
[07:37] <gogereaver> viky as i said try the toolset cd it can even boot a broken grub setup
[07:37] <Ikan> Could someone assist me with making grub my default bootloader?
[07:38] <gogereaver> Ikan it should be
[07:38] <Yuki_narutofan> I get pppoe connected but cannot access the internet... any ideas?
[07:38] <Ikan> gogereaver, I installed the grub onto the ubuntu partition itself
[07:38] <Defcon1> IKan did you install windows again or something?
[07:39] <Ikan> I had vista installed previously
[07:39] <bthornton> where do I set the passkey for Bluetooth on an laptop running Intrepid?
[07:39] <gogereaver> Ikan you can use the live cd or supergrub to move grub
[07:39] <Ikan> I attempted to do that
[07:39] <gogereaver> Ikan then supergrub
[07:39] <Ikan> but then Vista says it can't find bootmgr in which I need to replace said grub
[07:40] <Defcon1> you followed this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[07:40] <Ikan> Defcon, I used a slightly varied version of that
[07:40] <Ikan> I'll try using those exact same steps then
[07:40] <Flannel> balrog__: try diff -y --suppress-common-lines filw1 file2 | wc -l
[07:40] <Rohan_SM> Yuki if you need to login b4 connecting to internet try that. Ubuntu needs no NIC drivers. If your ISP provides some software to login such as dialer install it b4 logging in. if You are using DHCP then you need to repair connection by clicking on it. If you dont use DHCP then configure it properly
[07:41] <Flannel> balrog__: that'll output diff in (one of the combinations) of sane ways that you'll then be able to count the lines of.
[07:41] <Defcon1> i recently installed windows 7 and reinstalled grub follwoing the first section
[07:41] <Yuki_narutofan> Rohan, it's already logged in, already connected. CHAP is authenticated.

Note that this program requires an X display, so you must either login to an X session as a user in the 'mythtv' group, or otherwise arrange for that user to have access to your X display.

[07:48] <roarke> i have a login
[07:48]  * gogereaver dies
[07:48] <Panarchy> I'm trying to work out how to boot into my computer
[07:48] <Panarchy> I get an error in GRUB
[07:48] <Brack10> for PPC support, should I use the community port or go with another distro?
[07:48] <Panarchy> 17
[07:48] <Boohbah> roarke: try connecting with an sftp client to see if they offer that service
[07:48] <gogereaver> Panarchy you can restore the windows mbr and use wingrub to boot linux
[07:48] <Flannel> roarke: Ah.  Well, if they only provide ftp access, you can't.  But, try to connect to the server and instead of using 'ftp' use 'sftp' on your client (almost all clients support both)
[07:48] <roarke> it can't be done with the terminal?
[07:48] <opera> !gui
[07:49] <pallu> hello all of you
[07:49] <Flannel> roarke: sftp is equivalent to ftp
[07:49] <Panarchy> gogereaver: Is there a better way?
[07:49] <Flannel> roarke: (the programs, that is)
[07:49] <gogereaver> Panarchy thats how i do it being my drive is usb and grub doesent like that
[07:50] <Panarchy> gogereaver: Wait, everything is working again
[07:50] <roarke> Also, to use a proxy, do you have to pay usually?
[07:50] <Panarchy> Took 3 repeats of the exact same method ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 )
[07:50] <camelel> Panarchy: i have Ubuntu running from y USB flashdisk
[07:50] <Panarchy> But now is booting normally!
[07:50] <Panarchy> :P
[07:50] <camelel> what's the error you're getting?
[07:50] <camelel> ahh
[07:50] <camelel> good
[07:50] <Panarchy> :D
[07:51] <Panarchy> Thanks anyways guys
[07:51] <gogereaver> roarke thers a tone of free puplic proxys
[07:51] <gogereaver> getting a fast one can be hard
[07:51] <roarke> ah, i need one to make use of my gigabit connection
[07:52] <gogereaver> good luck
[07:52] <Panarchy> rarke: Tor?
[07:52] <gogereaver> why would you wanna proxy a gigabit
[07:53] <roarke> isp is blocking the site i'm dling from
[07:53] <roarke> well, limiting it
[07:54] <Panarchy> roarke: Read into VPN things
[07:54] <Panarchy> such as Steganos
[07:54] <Panarchy> not free though
[07:55] <Boohbah> roarke: get a cheap vps hosting service and run openvpn on it
[07:55] <Panarchy> vps?
[07:55] <syn-fin> virtual private server
[07:55] <Panarchy> Virtual Private Server?
[07:55] <gogereaver> get a new isp
[07:55] <gogereaver> lol
[07:55] <Panarchy> ah
[07:55] <syn-fin> www.1and1.com for example
[07:55] <Panarchy> never heard it before
[07:55] <Panarchy> lol
[07:55] <moDumass> hmm, drives dont show up in gparted either
[07:56] <gogereaver> only way to make those lame isps stop limiting
[07:56] <gogereaver> i dunped comcast when they blocked bt
[07:56] <moDumass> but they are drifting through the same router that connects the nas to the xbmc
[07:56] <roarke> i'm at a university
[07:56] <syn-fin> enforce encryption on bt thats all you have to do
[07:56] <moDumass> raorke, also change the port thats used and use something like tor
[07:57] <gogereaver> doesent mater i have windstream now knothing is limited
[07:57] <gogereaver> faster and cheaper
[07:59] <s_abirami> this is a question i get .. .could any one help me with this  . .plz .. . .http://pastebin.com/m88e03f2
[08:01] <Flannel> s_abirami: again, this is not the correct channel for those sorts of questions.
[08:01] <s_abirami> where can i ask Flannel
[08:02] <Flannel> s_abirami: Earlier today I told you to try ##linux.  But really, as this is homework, perhaps you ought to read your course materials, or ask your classmates, etc.
[08:03] <achilles> hello, what file does the command show "crontab -l" is it /etc/crontab ?
[08:03] <miranda_psi> anyone know much about fixing problems with wubi disk UUIDs?
[08:04] <s_abirami> :) but i cant understand that Flannel  so only i am seeking for help from u
[08:04] <[[thufir]]> how do I find where catalina_home is for tomcat?  it's not where the ubuntu help page says it should be.
[08:05] <zophy> it is good for you to be meeting me

[08:08] <achilles> Flannel, thank you .. I got confused .. I see tasks not in /etc/crontab ... thanks
[08:09] <miranda_psi> anyone know much about fixing problems with wubi disk UUIDs?
[08:09] <jinja-sheep> Dangerous question -- Is it even possible to wipe out everything in ~/ ?
[08:10] <Flannel> jinja-sheep: everything in your homedir?
[08:10] <jinja-sheep> Flannel:  I went through several test trails and messing around on this computer.   However, my laptop is a clean slate... with all my preferred apps and configurations.
[08:11] <Flannel> jinja-sheep: Yes, its possible to wipe out everything from your home folder.  That's how it starts before you log in for the first time, etc.
[08:11] <[[thufir]]> when tomcat is installed via https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/tomcat.html where is CATALINA_HOME located?
[08:13] <miranda_psi> anyone know much about fixing problems with wubi disk UUIDs? or how to recover information from the root.disk file?
[08:13] <jedex> i booted intrepid live cd, mounted a 500gig vfat usb drive, and the drive shows a capacity of 465gb. any idea how to fix this?
[08:13] <jinja-sheep> Flannel:  What about ssh+sftp?  So if I ran a command "sudo m -rf /home/chris/*"  -- That'll still safe, right?  Then start transferring large amounts of files?  I'd need to preserve openssl-server... ?
[08:14] <jinja-sheep> jedex:  It's the size.  Manufacturers use 1000 MiB.    We use 1024 MiB.
[08:14]  * CoUrPsE|DeAd nods with jinja-sheep.
[08:14] <miranda_psi> jedex: there is no problem to fix there - hdds dont have the capacity they say and the filesystem itself uses a part of that...
[08:14] <Flannel> jinja-sheep: your SSH server doesn't exist inside of ~/
[08:16] <jinja-sheep> Flannel:  You're right.  I was aware of .ssh... but it's just known_hosts.  Blah.  However.... When I do make the transfer, the configuration and everything will be same?  (Wouldn't mess up?)  Both are running amd64.  I need to learn more about the importance of home directory... and to narrow the gap of home directory in linux... in my head. :)
[08:16] <jedex> the same drive in my windows box shows 12 gigs free on the drive
[08:17] <toki> hey guys im a noob to linux  i have a reesolution problem im pretty sure my drivers are fine i just think im having problems with my monitor being reconized  its a 32" hd lcd with vga outputs
[08:18] <Flannel> jinja-sheep: actually, ~/* won't touch dotfiles at all, since * doesn't glob to dotfiles by default
[08:18] <jedex> there is only 453gigs used on the drive
[08:18] <jedex> but intrepid says its full
[08:18] <jinja-sheep> Flannel:  Is it the wrong command?  What command should I be using?
[08:19] <g0tcha> hey guys. 9.x is already out or something?
[08:19] <jinja-sheep> !januty | g0tcha
[08:19] <jinja-sheep> Hmm. :o
[08:19] <Yasumoto> !jaunty
[08:19] <jinja-sheep> Thanks Yasumoto. :)
[08:19] <Yasumoto> g0tcha ^^
[08:19] <Yasumoto> no worries, just happened to catch it :)
[08:19] <miranda_psi> anyone know much about fixing problems with wubi disk UUIDs? or how to recover information from the root.disk file?
[08:20] <BKBKlas> hey
[08:20] <g0tcha> thanks
[08:20] <jedex> any idea why the 12 free gigs is not available on linux, but it is on xp?
[08:21] <jinja-sheep> miranda_psi:  I don't use WBUI.  You might have better luck in the forums or... WUBI Faq.  I'm sure you checked them tho, right?
[08:21] <jinja-sheep> !swap | jedex
[08:21] <toki> any help guys
[08:21] <jedex> swap space is allocated for external drives as well?
[08:22] <jedex> i mean, on the drive itself
[08:22] <miranda_psi> jinja-sheep: quickly, but I didn't find anything useful
[08:22] <jinja-sheep> jedex:  External drives, not really.  Either Ubuntu (or you) generally set swap space on the same drive Ubuntu is installed to.
[08:22] <Flannel> jinja-sheep: That will work to copy all files/folders that don't start with a dot.  http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/globbingref.html  Is a reasonable rundown of how it works.  However, I can't find the page I'm looking for.  *dont* use '.*'  There's a better one (that's extremely dangerous), let me find it.
[08:23] <jedex> jinja: thats what i thought - so there shouldnt be any swap space on my external usb then right?
[08:23] <jinja-sheep> Flannel:  I kept telling myself that one day, I always want to try the deadliest command on my testing machine.  >_>
[08:23] <jinja-sheep> jedex:  Right.
[08:23] <jedex> hm, so any idea why linux thinks the drive is full?
[08:24] <jinja-sheep> jedex:  You say you got 500G. That's the marketing numbers.  500 sounds better than 488 something.
[08:24] <jedex> yeah, i understand that now
[08:24] <Myrtti> jedex: have you deleted the trash?
[08:24] <jinja-sheep> jedex:  What do you mean by that.... full ?
[08:24] <jedex> there's i guess ~465 max - but only 453 is used
[08:24] <dayo_> !openldap
[08:24] <jinja-sheep> jedex:  If you plugged the external drive in, and can't access... that might be chown permission issue.
[08:24] <dayo_> !ldap
[08:24] <jedex> windows can see that there is ~12 gigs free, but linux doesnt
[08:25] <Myrtti> check if you have a hidden .Trash directory on the drive.
[08:25] <dayo_> !pdns
[08:25] <dayo_> !pdns-server
[08:25] <jinja-sheep> jedex:  Run "sudo aptitude autoclean"
[08:25] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> should be 488GB.
[08:25] <dayo_> !powerdns
[08:25] <jedex> i can access it, and read and write to it. linux thinks i have about 250k free
[08:25] <dayo_> damn
[08:25] <toki> hey can anyone help with a resolution problem
[08:25] <dayo_> !dns
[08:25] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> Humm, my calcing must be wrong, that still seems to much.
[08:25] <Flannel> jinja-sheep: I suppose it's .[!.]*
[08:26] <dayo_> !dhcpd3
[08:26] <Flannel> jinja-sheep: The !. is important, because you don't want it to recurse *up* the tree (..)

[08:27] <Flannel> jinja-sheep: There are no packages that install to ~, I don't know what you mean.
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> hey all, quick question about x forwarding. Am I correct in thinking that ALL computation is done on the server side and the only thing the client does is display the app itself? Is that correct?

[08:28] <miranda_psi> anyone know much about fixing problems with wubi disk UUIDs? or how to recover information from the root.disk file?
[08:28] <jinja-sheep> Flannel --   "sudo rm -rf ~/.[!.]*"   -- Correct?
[08:28] <jinja-sheep> I'm ftping certain files and directories before I do that.
[08:28] <Flannel> jinja-sheep: What are you talking about?  You just want to remove everything from your homedir?  You don't need to sudo anything in your homedir.
[08:29] <Flannel> jinja-sheep: Also, you shouldn't have to force anything in your homedir either.
[08:29] <toki> nvidia fx5200 pretty sure my drivers are working just not reconizing my monitor
[08:29] <Flannel> jinja-sheep: Explain what exactly you're trying to do.  Then we can help you.
[08:29] <sloopy> ActionParsnip, yes, but display processing can be done local if you are using a fb instead of DRI
[08:30] <toki> ok im a noob so sorry but i have no idea what that means
[08:30] <s_abirami> is there any way to bypass root pasword or to make automatic login by editing any files using live CD
[08:30] <jinja-sheep> Flannel:  It's for the directories.  I'm trying to make (this) machine resorting back to clean slate --- wiping out everything that I may install.... -- I suppose an exact clone of what's on my laptop right now.
[08:30] <w00b3> ירחם, אוי אלוהים, הייתי עיוור, אבל עכשיו אני רואה.
[08:31] <w00b3> sorry wrong window
[08:31] <Flannel> jinja-sheep: Ok.  *nothing* in your homedir has anything to do with the packages you've installed.  Your homedir only has your preferences and personal files.  To remove whatever packages you've installed, you'll have to use apt-get (or whatever your favorite package manager is).  If you actually want them to be identical to each other, you can use the following method:

[08:34] <dayo_> sarmisak that worked, thanks! :-)
[08:34] <toki> ActionParsnip: how do i change it manually
[08:34] <Flannel> jinja-sheep: 8.04, yes.

[08:35] <jinja-sheep> Flannel:  Thank you for the links.  I'll be reading up on them now.  So I only have to do the said command then sync the home directory.  Pretty much it.

[08:55] <moDumass> i can see it via browser, ie log in and set passwords

[08:56] <ActionParsnip> farciarz84: but i see your point

[08:57] <ActionParsnip> farciarz84: if you havent changed ssh setup it will forward x
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> farciarz84: if you are using a windows client you will need to install x libs

[08:59] <ActionParsnip> you can launch stuff like firefox and open office and stuff like that
[08:59] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: ahhh then i'm guessing its a screenlet type of thing?
[09:00] <farciarz84> ActionParnisp ssh: Could not resolve hostname X: Name or service not known
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> farciarz84: man ssh
[09:01] <Seveas> gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodmorning #ubuntu!
[09:01] <Seveas> I love the smell of netsplits in the morning :)
[09:02] <useruseruseruser> Seveas, hi
[09:02] <Seveas> woah, irseek k-lined?
[09:02] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: I am using GNOME. In GNOME terminology, it is an applet. I believe that a screenlet is a term that roughly describes a similar thing. I do not know the exact diffeences.
[09:03] <Myrtti> Seveas: happens quite often
[09:03] <Severian> farciarz84, If you can't call your ISP and ask, just use OpenDNS servers.  208.67.222.222 and 208.67.222.220
[09:03] <Seveas> Myrtti, ah, they must be doing something naughty then
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: you could add a script to startup to run the script at boot
[09:03] <Myrtti> Seveas: haven't looked into it
[09:04] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: Well, I could. But this is not my problem. I would like to know more about the programming of this applet.
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: open the script in your favourite text editor, or contact the devs
[09:06] <farciarz84> ActionParsnip : I have put in console according to manual ssh -x -a user@ip but after authorisation no x war rised:( but normal ssh session
[09:06] <roslan> anis
[09:06] <superkuh> I am having trouble on 8.04 64bit with a util-linux recommended update due to what seems to be a trivial architecture sub-naming check in a Errno.pl. Can I just edit it to pass? I have lots more detail here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/105079/
[09:07] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: I have tried to find out where the devs linger but could not find that out so far. I have tried to find a subscription site to the associated mailing list but could not find it yet either.
[09:07] <stdin> farciarz84: it's -X not -x, -x disables X11 forwarding
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> farciarz84: should be: ssh -X user@server
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: thats all I can suggest, they made the app so they are the best folks to ask unless you can learn python and can decode whats going on
[09:09] <farciarz84> but it's the same
[09:09] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: Yes. Thank you.

[09:11] <[[thufir]]> does anyone install tomcat from apt?
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> [[thufir]]: apt-cache search tom | grep -i cat
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> [[thufir]]: should tell yu the package name
[09:12] <stdin> fwiw, 'apt-cache search tomcat' shows it too
[09:12] <unop> !search tomcat
[09:13] <stdin> !info tomcat6
[09:13] <stdin> !info tomcat5.5
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> stdin: didnt know if it was all one word, hence grep
[09:13] <unop> ubottu's brain is fading
[09:13] <stdin> ActionParsnip: I (attempted) to use it a few years ago, so I remembered
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> nice
[09:14] <stdin> unop: you wanted !find, !search is for factoids
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> !find tomc*
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> oh well
[09:15] <stdin> !find tomcat
[09:15] <stdin> http://package.ubuntu.com is good too
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> just curious of what he can do
[09:15] <stdin> * http://packages.ubuntu.com
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> !info tomcat*
[09:15] <unop> stdin, i seem to remember a factoid for tomcat
[09:16] <stdin> ActionParsnip: !info uses apt-cache show, !find uses apt-cache search, and then apt-file search if that returns nothing
[09:16] <stdin> so wild-cards are passed directly to them
[09:16] <dody_> hai
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> was just thinking if you did tomcat* it would output for both versions
[09:17] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: In a local IRC channel a well-known Ubuntu developer told me that both terms are fuzzy and mean essentally the same.
[09:17] <stdin> nah, it's not smart enough :)
[09:17] <Guest47316> what do you people talk about on here
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> Guest47316: support for ubuntu questions and issues
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> stdin: he's pretty badass
[09:18] <dody_> admin
[09:19] <Guest47316> anyone out there know how to bring back a panel on ubuntu
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> stdin: although !torrent and !torrents always gets me confused
[09:19] <useruseruseruser> Guest47316, what's a panel?
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> Guest47316: do you mean the top and bottom gnome panels?
[09:19] <Fenya> Привет народ! а  русскоговорящие есть?
[09:19] <stdin> ActionParsnip: can't blame the bot for that, that's us editors ;)
[09:20] <unop> !ru | Fenya
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> stdin: true, you rapscallious bunch :P
[09:20] <dAnjou> Hi ... wouldn'it be nice, if xchat joins automatically #ubuntu (or in my case #ubuntu-de :P) on startup (I mean, without any configuration, after installing ubuntu like in opensuse)?
[09:20] <Guest47316> yes, but let me try to explain, on my original panel I had a wifi bar that help me connect to a wireless network ever since I deleted it I have not been able to reconnect to my wifi
[09:20] <reisi> does anyone know how to use oprofile with ubuntu server (missing vmlinux -- only compressed is available)?
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> dAnjou: pidgin has an autojoin option, maybe xchat does too
[09:21] <Fenya> Спасибо
[09:21] <dAnjou> ActionParsnip: you misunderstood me
[09:21] <unop> dAnjou, well, the default server and channel are irc.ubuntu.com and #ubuntu .. so all you have to do is connect
[09:21] <dAnjou> unop: in xchat?
[09:21] <unop> dAnjou, yes
[09:21] <dody_> hai how do you do?
[09:22] <dayo_> dAnjou i use irssi
[09:22] <dody_> yes
[09:22] <subtwo> Guest47316: Try running "nm-applet&" from a terminal
[09:22] <dAnjou> afair xchat connected to nothing at my first start
[09:22] <dayo_> dAnjou on a screen session on our server
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> dAnjou: http://xchat.org/faq/#q23
[09:23] <c0nfl|ct>  bom dia
[09:23] <dAnjou> a damn
[09:23] <dAnjou> ActionParsnip: i said: you missunderstood me
[09:23] <Guest47316>  Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken.
[09:23] <unop> c0nfl|ct, good day to you too!
[09:23] <dAnjou> i know how to autoconnect
[09:24] <c0nfl|ct> un :p
[09:24] <dAnjou> i need no technical support
[09:24] <c0nfl|ct> unop,  :p
[09:24] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: i mean, do you download it or use apt?
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> dAnjou: then wassup?
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> [[thufir]]: sudo apt-get install <app name>
[09:24] <dAnjou> dayo_: i use irssi too
[09:24] <Guest47316> subtwo did not work
[09:25] <[[thufir]]> right, but how do you configure CATALINA_HOME from the apt version?  there are no directions for that
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> [[thufir]]: its the same version as if you install it via synaptic
[09:26] <w00b3> How Do you open a .bin file anyone?
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> [[thufir]]: "apt version" doesnt mean anything as all the package installers use the exact same repositorys
[09:26] <dAnjou> ActionParsnip: my concern was, that xchat should automatically join #ubuntu after a fresh installation of ubuntu without any configuration
[09:26] <dAnjou> and unop means, xchat do it already
[09:26] <w00b3> !.bin
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> dAnjou: not everybody will want that
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> dAnjou: assuming what a user will want to connect to is very rude imho
[09:27] <dAnjou> ActionParsnip: it would be easier for beginners
[09:27] <camelel> !swappiness
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> w00b3: chmod +x <binfile>; ./<bin file>
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> dAnjou: it could be an install time option maybe
[09:27] <dAnjou> and ubuntu is mainly for beginners, isn't it?
[09:28] <camelel> yea
[09:28] <dAnjou> opensuse do it too with konversation
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> dAnjou: not really, madriva is pretty user friendly
[09:28] <Flannel> dAnjou: This discussion isn't really on topic for this channel.  You should try #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> dAnjou: and suse is nice for beginners too
[09:28] <dAnjou> ActionParsnip: ubuntu want to be for beginners
[09:29] <subtwo> Guest47316: Ok, you probably already running the network manager then. try running "gnome-panel&"
[09:29] <CoUrPsE|DeAd> when putting applications into sessions to boot up when logging in, what should i added to the command to make the application get sent to a different virtual desktop?
[09:29] <dAnjou> Flannel: a thanks, it should be mentioned in the topic
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> dAnjou: i disagree but its offtopic here
[09:31] <atilla> slm
[09:33] <Guest47316> ok so nm-applet did not work now what
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> try wifi-radar maybe Guest47316
[09:34] <camelel> can anyone tell me the name of the package in ubuntu that lets you import my douments files from the windows machine on the same computer?
[09:34] <zcat[1]> is there a way of accessing 'gnome speech services' from the command line?
[09:35] <icqnumber> what package is suggested to use with gnome vim-gnome or vim-gtk?
[09:36] <ali_> merhaba
[09:36] <Flannel> icqnumber: vim-gnome
[09:37] <icqnumber> Flannel, please explain you suggestion
[09:39] <subtwo> Guest47316: You said that the panels were gone, start them with "gnome-panel &"
[09:39] <Flannel> icqnumber: vim-gnome is in main, vim-gtk is in universe.  Other than that, they appear extremely similar except they depend on different packages.
[09:40] <Fuzzy> hey guys, i have question how to run exploits ?
[09:40] <icqnumber> Flannel, ok, thank you
[09:41] <Fuzzy> any help? i'm not that fuzzy who were here just minutes ago
[09:44] <Fuzzy> someone will help or no?
[09:44] <Guest47316> have panel already but before I had the panel that came by default. On there I had a wifi bar once i deleted that panel I could never find my wifi bar again
[09:44] <Flannel> !helpme | Fuzzy
[09:44] <camelel> !patience
[09:45] <Apocalypse> I'm set to update my 8.04 to 8.10, but I have some old packages that needs updating and I'm on a slow link, would the 8.10 update also update them? I don't want to re-download 300mb of packages all over again :(
[09:45] <ikonia> Apocalypse: in some situations it has to update old packages before the update
[09:45] <Apocalypse> ikonia: That's what I read but how do I know which packages? Obviously firefox, openoffice, etc isn't critical to the system - but there's like 200 more that I can't figure out :(
[09:46] <ikonia> Apocalypse: if you just do the upgrade it will update what it needs to before it upgrades
[09:46] <Apocalypse> ikonia: Oh, the update manager is smart enough? That's excellent - thanks for your help!
[09:46] <ikonia> Apocalypse: should be
[09:47] <Apocalypse> At least I have a partition image of the entire system so no worries if I screw it up or 8.10 doesn't work on my laptop :)
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> Apocalypse: set it downloading when you go to bed, then it can take its sweet time ;)
[09:47] <Apocalypse> ActionParsnip: Hah exactly my plan - it's 4:47am here and I'm ready to enter dreamland :)
[09:48] <Guest47316> anyone know how to make xtraceroute work better
[09:49] <zenum> hey, i'm experiencing a problem today where main KRDC screen (not a remote desktop screen but the main menu) is un full screen with no window border/title bar and I can't find a way to resize/move it
[09:49] <Sonderblade> How can I find out which kernel version was included in Ubuntu Feisty?
[09:50] <zenum> Is there some keyboard shortcut or config file somewhere that i can change so that it appears in a certain position on the screen?
[09:50] <zenum> I'm running 8.10
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> Apocalypse: used to do it on 56k with fresh installs of win98 getting updated sucked
[09:50] <subtwo> Guest47316: If you're desperate you could delete (or move it) the .gconf folder in your home directory and logout/login again.
[09:51] <Flannel> Sonderblade: Since feisty is EOL, its been removed from most of the "normal" places to look.  But packages.ubuntu.com still has it (for now): http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=feisty&searchon=names&keywords=linux-image-generic
[09:51] <Flannel> Sonderblade: Otherwise, you'd just have to check the manifest or listing of an ISO
[09:51] <mrselfpwn> anyone have a clue about  GLXBadDrawable in wine?
[09:51] <Apocalypse> ActionParsnip: I know the feeling, I had a massive yak shaving session yesterday getting this laptop to dualboot vista+ubuntu
[09:51] <mrselfpwn> with newest nvidia drivers
[09:55] <Apocalypse> Updating now, wish me luck! - Nitey nite all :)
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> mrselfpwn: is it one app or all apps?
[09:56] <mrselfpwn> One app
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> mrselfpwn: what app?
[09:57] <w00b3> ActionParsnip, may i pm you
[09:57] <mrselfpwn> WoW
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> w00b3: sure
[09:57] <mrselfpwn> When i first run it, it works
[09:57] <Fudus3> I am trying out ubuntu 8.10, and having difficulty in display. It only works in safe mode; in normal the screen goes blank after the ubuntu loading screen. I can hear the loading sound, but the monitor enters power saving mode. Radeon HD 4850
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> mrselfpwn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[09:57] <Fudus3> this is in live cd
[09:57] <mrselfpwn> Though if I exit the game and then try to restart it i get that error
[09:58] <mrselfpwn> i have to leave X and then re enter for it to work again
[09:58] <ronny> hi
[09:58] <mrselfpwn> so it works only once the, the first time i run it
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> mrselfpwn: read the guide is all i can sugest. i dont use wine for games but i believe that the doc is sound
[09:59] <mrselfpwn> well actually
[09:59] <ronny> anyone can help me with a weird driver issue, my laptop backlight acts really weird in x11 since a few days, its fine in textmode and win32
[09:59] <mrselfpwn> under the configuration section on that page
[09:59] <mrselfpwn> it says
[10:00] <mrselfpwn> nvm
[10:00] <mrselfpwn> misread
[10:00] <ronny> bascially as soon as im on battery its starts to flicker and gets really dark
[10:01] <Fudus3> any suggestions on what to do?
[10:01] <Tekno> kill gnome-power-manager
[10:01] <Leo_> hello.somebody help. my computer was breakdown just now.i restart it .then all 3d effects can not be used ,why? how to fix it?
[10:03] <Leo_> anyone can help?
[10:03] <ronny> Tekno: was that directed at me?
[10:03] <ActionParsnip1> Leo_: wassup>
[10:03] <Leo_> the 3d effects can not be used now
[10:03] <ActionParsnip1> Leo_: have you installed video drivers?
[10:04] <Leo_> yeah
[10:04] <Tekno> ronny: yes
[10:04] <humphrey> hello all. can anyone tell me the terminal command to erase/format a data stick please?
[10:04] <ronny> Tekno: woot, that fixed it
[10:04] <ronny> Tekno: any idea why it causes that?
[10:04] <Leo_> i worked well before
[10:04] <ronny> its kinda annoying
[10:04] <Tekno> ronny: gnome-power-manager can do dimming to save power..
[10:04] <ActionParsnip1> humphrey: run sudo fdisk -l to identify the partition
[10:04] <Leo_> and once the computer broke down ,i restarted the computer. then i can not work.
[10:05] <humphrey> ActionParsnip1: will do, thankyou
[10:05] <ronny> Tekno: the thing is as soon as i kill it, the display dimming works as its supposed to
[10:05] <ActionParsnip1> humphrey: then use mke2fs.<press tab here> /dev/partition name
[10:05] <Tekno> ronny: you may need to somehow disable dimming features of it
[10:05] <ronny> any idea where to look?
[10:06] <sushanth> do u know any program to create flash  files
[10:06] <Tekno> start it, click the tray icon and there should be something related options
[10:06] <ActionParsnip1> humphrey: so if the partition is /dev/hdg2, and you want to use fat, you'd use: sudo mke2fs.vfat /dev/hdg2
[10:06] <Leo_> ok
[10:06] <Fudus3> now i changed the screen resolution and the display is corrupted :/
[10:06] <Fudus3> Whenever I try linux it always breaks something :(
[10:07] <ronny> Tekno: hmm, it still causes weird effects
[10:07] <ActionParsnip1> Leo_: i'd just reconfigure your video as it appears to have broken in some way then
[10:08] <Leo_> how should i fix the problem ?
[10:08] <ActionParsnip1> Leo_: what gfx card do you have?
[10:08] <ActionParsnip1> Leo_: lspci | grep -i vga will tell you
[10:08] <Leo_> ok
[10:08] <doktoreas> hello everybody
[10:08] <ActionParsnip1> hi doktoreas
[10:08] <doktoreas> is there any syntax for adding symlink to a gzip archive?
[10:09] <ActionParsnip1> doktoreas: ln -s /path/to/file.gzip /path/to/linkname
[10:09] <ActionParsnip1> doktoreas: or if you cd to the place you want the link, you can use: ln -s /path/to/file.gzip .
[10:10] <Leo_> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[10:11] <humphrey> ActionParsnip1: erm.. says "mke2fs.vfat: command not found" did i miss something blatant?
[10:11] <Tekno> isnt it mk2fs.vfat
[10:12] <Tekno> there is extra 'e' in your text
[10:12] <Leo_> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[10:12] <zorglu_> q. if i install ubuntu in a VM, will beryl effects be available ?
[10:12] <ActionParsnip1> humphrey: mkfs.vfat
[10:12] <ActionParsnip1> humphrey: if a command doesnt work, try tab completing it with less characters
[10:13] <ActionParsnip1> zorglu_: as far as I am aware, no
[10:13] <zorglu_> ActionParsnip1: ok thanks
[10:14] <ActionParsnip1> Leo_: try editting xorg.conf and using Driver "intel"

[10:19] <ashvala> thetutorials fail
[10:19] <moDumass> pop quiz.. make my nas go - with your huge mutant brains -
[10:20] <Leo_> i use this command only to open a blank file xorg.conf.  is that right?
[10:20] <ActionParsnip1> Leo_: the X in X11 is capitalised for a reason
[10:21] <ActionParsnip1> Leo_: linux is CasE SenSiTIve
[10:21] <Sonderblade> Flanel: thanks
[10:22] <Leo_> yes i know
[10:22] <Leo_> i typed it  capitalised
[10:22] <ActionParsnip1> Leo_: you can copy / paste to the terminal, no need to type
[10:22] <ActionParsnip1> Leo_: try tab completing the folder names
[10:22] <Leo_> ok , thanks

[10:25] <olrrai> hi
[10:26] <ActionParsnip1> Leo_: under "Configured Video Device", add a line that reads: Driver "intel"
[10:26] <Ward1983> hello olrrai
[10:26] <olrrai> natilus question: how to confirm when I move a folder using mouse?
[10:27] <ActionParsnip1> Leo_: save, close gedit then restart xserver
[10:27] <ActionParsnip1> Leo_: you may find if its no good that it uses the i810 driver
[10:27] <ActionParsnip1> Leo_: i couldnt find a great deal but you're gonna be wrestling that file
[10:27] <Leo_> okay , thanks a lot
[10:28] <Ward1983> olrrai, as in: it sohuld ask you first before moving?
[10:28] <Ward1983> ask if youŕe sure
[10:28] <olrrai> Ward1983: yeah
[10:28] <Ward1983> im not sure of that
[10:28] <olrrai> Ward1983: ok
[10:28] <Ward1983> olrrai, does it have to be with the mouse?
[10:29] <olrrai> yes
[10:29] <Ward1983> sorry dunno then
[10:30] <olrrai> and to confirm delete?
[10:31] <Severian> Howdy.  I have a system running Ubuntu Feisty.  It has a CD drive, but can't boot from the CD.  If I put the Intrepid CD in, is there anything I can run the installer?  And, I can't update from Update-manager.
[10:31] <moDumass> for some reason gparted cant see my nas, and cifs has it in there, with the right path, like nothing has changed, but i cannot for the life of me mount it
[10:31] <moDumass> actually, hangon
[10:33] <ActionParsnip1> Severian: why can't you upgrade?
[10:34] <Severian> ActionParsnip1, not enough disk space.  When I first set it up, I gave 200 meg to /boot.  I deleted everything on /boot except the current kernel. The updater says there is not enough room.
[10:35] <ActionParsnip1> Severian: try: sudo apt-get clean
[10:35] <moDumass> sudo mount -a
[10:35] <moDumass> mount error 13 = Permission denied
[10:35] <moDumass>  what what what what i sudo`d and everything, im guessing NASTASIC is denying me
[10:35] <moDumass> sorry didnt meant o paste across 3 lines
[10:35] <Severian> When I first set this system up, I had a bootable CD, but it broke and I am using a USB one now.  The system is old enough not to support booting from USB.
[10:36] <Severian> ActionParsnip1, that will not help.  The / partition has plenty of space.  /boot is too small.  There are no packages on that partition.
[10:37] <ActionParsnip1> Severian: could copy the isos to the usb and mount it, then upgrade from that
[10:37] <Padhu> serverian: what about floppy drive
[10:37] <ActionParsnip1> Severian: why does /boot come into the equation with updates
[10:39] <Severian> ActionParsnip1,  /boot is where the kernel and a few special files go.  During the update, both the old and new ones will be there.  My drive does not have enough room.  It is the Ubuntu Installer script that stops and tells me this.
[10:40] <ActionParsnip1> Severian: strange
[10:40] <doktoreas> ActionParsnip1: I mean how keep symlink inside a zip archive
[10:40] <Severian> Assuming I mounted the USB drive with the installer on it, what would I run from the installer CD.
[10:40] <yacc> I just wondered where the arch command has gone?
[10:40] <ActionParsnip1> doktoreas: you can't, you'd have to extract it as far as I know
[10:41] <olrrai> see u later
[10:42] <bazhang> !give me a test
[10:53] <moDumass> what should .smbcredentials look like?
[10:54] <La_Crem> hello!
[10:55] <bullgard4> '~$ invest-chart' will call the program 'Financial Chart'. At the same time the GNOME terminal prints: "Data Dir: /usr/share/gnome-applets/invest-applet." What does this message mean?
[10:56] <jitu3485> I am not able to kill a process even with ; kill -9 <pid> . how to kill that?
[10:56] <oCean_> moDumass: the file may contain 2 lines (username= and password=)
[10:56] <bullgard4> jitu3485: Did you try the sudo prefix?
[10:56] <moDumass> ocean yeh thats all thats in there
[10:56] <elaksomfan> hi have someone the main, intrepied 8.10  package main list please?
[10:57] <jitu3485> bullgard4, yes i tried with that also
[10:57] <oCean_> moDumass: the file should be chmod'd (chmod 600 /home/mydir/.smbpasswd)
[10:57] <moDumass> oCean_, this is in my nsswitch file though "hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
[10:57] <moDumass> "
[10:57] <bullgard4> jitu3485: Did you try 'killall' yet?
[10:57] <elaksomfan> hi Can someone please help me I cant find, nearly nothing in synapitc please have someone,  the most importand dist package lists? please
[10:58] <jitu3485> bullgard4, not yet , let me try that
[10:58] <jitu3485> bullgard4, will it make me logout
[10:58] <jitu3485> ?
[10:58] <bullgard4> jtaji: No.
[10:58] <jitu3485> k
[10:58] <bullgard4> jitu3485: No.
[10:59] <oCean_> moDumass: not sure what the problem is, you asked about samba config, right?
[10:59] <moDumass> oCean_, .smbpasswd or .smbcredentials?
[10:59] <alex_sleiborg> Hey. I've have problems installing openoffice. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/105099/
[10:59] <moDumass> oCean_, i had a nas connected, i can see it if i brows to its IP
[10:59] <moDumass> but i cant mount it anymore
[11:00] <oCean_> moDumass: well, I use '.smbpasswd' and in /etc/fstab file in the options: "credentials=/home/myhomedir/.smbpasswd"
[11:01] <oCean_> moDumass: can you ping the ip?
[11:01] <StuckMojo> hi. is there a doc somewhere explaining how the new dbus based networking works?
[11:01] <bullgard4> elaksomfan: Please edit your /etc/apt/sources.list list. But first back it up!
[11:01] <StuckMojo> i.e. to set an interface to be static ip or dhcp you used to configure /etc/network/interfaces...
[11:01] <StuckMojo> but now you don't
[11:01] <oCean_> moDumass: to get some (error?)output try mounting one of the drives manually. For example "mount -t smbfs //ipaddress/drivename /mnt"
[11:01] <moDumass> oCean_, i fixed it, didnt learn anything, but used a backup of my fstab file
[11:01] <|MIRV|> hello, can someone tell me the name of the package that is supposed to help with video drivers (ati) .. I can't remember for the life of me..
[11:02] <oCean_> moDumass: ah, all's well, that... and so on? :)
[11:02] <StuckMojo> and to bring it up and down you used to do ifdown eth0; ifup eth0
[11:02] <StuckMojo> but that doesn't work now that NetworkManager is in the mix
[11:03] <bullgard4> elaksomfan: You can do that more conveniently by using System > Administration > Software Sources. Enable missing repositories there.
[11:03] <|MIRV|> my friggen video runs like crud in jaunty  :(
[11:03] <elaksomfan> thanks master
[11:04] <moDumass> oCean_, seems that way
[11:04] <moDumass> oCean_, thanks though
[11:04] <StuckMojo> is there a bot in here like dpkg in #debian?
[11:04] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: indeed
[11:04] <ActionParsnip1> !hi | StuckMojo
[11:04] <StuckMojo> sweet
[11:04] <bullgard4> StuckMojo: Yes.
[11:05] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: do people still listen to stuckmojo
[11:05] <StuckMojo> ActionParsnip1: i doubt it. i never did, i just liked the name ;)
[11:05] <muibe> hi! I was looking for xorg.conf but there was nothing else but a blank file in /etc/X11/ - where am i going to find it nowadays?
[11:05] <ActionParsnip1> haha classic
[11:05] <StuckMojo> hmmm...ubottu doesn't have quite as complete info as dpkg
[11:06] <StuckMojo> i asked both about networkmanager, dpkg's answer was more complete. ubottu just gave me the project url
[11:06] <StuckMojo> dpkg told me to see /usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian for how to set it up
[11:06] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: depends what you wanna know
[11:06] <StuckMojo> well..say i wanted to change eth0 to be a static ip
[11:06] <ActionParsnip1> !network
[11:06] <StuckMojo> and i don't want to use lame ass gnome gui tools
[11:07] <dayo_> StuckMojo /etc/network/interfaces
[11:07] <dayo_> StuckMojo vim /etc/network/interfaces
[11:07] <StuckMojo> dayo_: yeah but that's empty now that network manager is in the mix
[11:07] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[11:07] <StuckMojo> lol
[11:07] <dayo_> StuckMojo populate it?
[11:07] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: that will will superceded anything network manager will do
[11:07] <StuckMojo> ah
[11:08] <StuckMojo> will putting the old dhcp style entries in there break NM?
[11:08] <dayo_> StuckMojo http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts-p3
[11:08] <unop> StuckMojo, NM will detect a manual configuration and ignore that interface.
[11:08] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: it will set the interface to dhcp no matter what nm says
[11:08] <StuckMojo> i just feel silly that the only way i now know how to dhcp a new address is: /etc/init.d/dbus restart
[11:09] <StuckMojo> i see
[11:09] <StuckMojo> networking restart doesn't seem to do it anymore
[11:09] <ubuntu_first_tim> hello
[11:09] <ubuntu_first_tim> anybody here?
[11:09] <dayo_> StuckMojo u want it static or dhcp?
[11:09] <StuckMojo> and with an empty /etc/network/interfaces, ifdown eth0 throws an error
[11:10] <StuckMojo> dayo_: well...what i really want to know is how to control an NM managed interface from the command line
[11:10] <ubuntu_first_tim> hello?
[11:10] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: if you rename the file and reboot you will get a stock one
[11:10] <quibbler> ubuntu_first_tim, hello
[11:10] <dayo_> StuckMojo completely empty? you should have at least: uto lo
[11:10] <dayo_> iface lo inet loopback
[11:10] <ubuntu_first_tim> hey, i need some help with installing Ubuntu
[11:10] <StuckMojo> like simple stuff like take it down and back up
[11:10] <ubuntu_first_tim> can you help me please?
[11:10] <dayo_> StuckMojo auto lo
[11:10] <StuckMojo> dayo_: yeah it only has lo in there
[11:10] <unop> !install | ubuntu_first_tim
[11:11] <StuckMojo> ActionParsnip1: which file? interfaces?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: yes, if you rm it and reboot, the system will see it missing and generate another
[11:11] <ubuntu_first_tim> i read all the manuals, i think i have a special problem
[11:11] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim just ask
[11:11] <ubuntu_first_tim> i couldn't find a documanted solution
[11:11] <quibbler> ubuntu_first_tim, what is the problem
[11:12] <protector> hey guys...have a question. gives BitchX for Ubuntu 8.10?
[11:12] <ubuntu_first_tim> ok, i have 2 HDD on my PC: 1-40GB(windows) and 2-500GB(which is partitioned 400-100)
[11:12] <StuckMojo> ActionParsnip1: well that's nifty
[11:12] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: pretty much :)
[11:12] <ubuntu_first_tim> now, i want to install ubuntu on the 100GB part of the 2nd disk
[11:12] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: im sure theres a way without rebooting but i dont know it
[11:12] <ubuntu_first_tim> and when i choose it, it gives me an error
[11:13] <StuckMojo> on my laptop, NM actually works nice. but my desktop has multiple interfaces for instance. i'd like to know how to work with NM there if i plug the cable into the wrong one or some such
[11:13] <ubuntu_first_tim> that i havn't chosen a root *something*
[11:13] <StuckMojo> i just feel blind now
[11:13] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim copy the error to pastebin so i can have a look
[11:13] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntu_first_tim: delete the 100Gb partition so its unallocated, then tell the installer to use the largest contiguos unallocated space
[11:13] <StuckMojo> ok well thanks guys
[11:13] <james_> ubuntu_first_tim: whats the error say?
[11:13] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim yeah, sounds like u need to redo the partitions
[11:14] <StuckMojo> just the fact that i can fall back on interfaces and have things work, have NM move out of the way, that's a good thing to know
[11:14] <ubuntu_first_tim> ActionParsnip1: But if i delete this partiotion, i also delete the 400GB partition, no?
[11:14] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim like ActionParsnip1 said, delete the 100GB and then redo
[11:14] <ubuntu_first_tim> ActionParsnip1: But if i delete this partiotion, i also delete the 400GB partition, no?
[11:14] <StuckMojo> aha! /usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian has the info i need
[11:14] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: no. only delete 100gb
[11:14] <StuckMojo> Devices listed in /etc/network/interfaces _will_ be managed by NetworkManager
[11:14] <StuckMojo> unless the ifupdown system-config-setting is enabled and is setup to run
[11:14] <StuckMojo> in "Unmanaged mode"
[11:15] <ubuntu_first_tim> and how do i delete this partiotion?
[11:15] <StuckMojo> there's an /etc/NetworkManager dir, which has some stuff in it
[11:15] <ubuntu_first_tim> threw ubuntu?
[11:15] <StuckMojo> ok cool
[11:15] <StuckMojo> thanks for the head start guys
[11:15] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: its the interfaces file in /etc/network
[11:15] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: yes
[11:15] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: u're using the gui installer, right?
[11:15] <StuckMojo> to NM's credit, i haven't had to be concerned about it up to now, it's "just worked" :)
[11:15] <ubuntu_first_tim> yep
[11:16] <fabriz> ciao
[11:16] <fabriz> !list
[11:16] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: ok. just delete the 100gb. nothing else. then let it use the free space
[11:16] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: i never use it, i always populate the interfaces file myself
[11:16] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: deleting the 100gb will create at least 100gb worth of free space for the installer to work with
[11:16] <ubuntu_first_tim> dayo: but how do i delete it? i'm using CD ubuntu right now
[11:17] <StuckMojo> ActionParsnip1: well my desktop i'll have to do that. this lappy was a clean install
[11:17] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: click on the 100gb, then choose delete from the menu
[11:17] <StuckMojo> ActionParsnip1: since it just worked, i never messed with it
[11:17] <StuckMojo> ActionParsnip1: but my desktop is Sid, and it was WAYYYYY out of date
[11:17] <ubuntu_first_tim> and it wont delete the 400gb for sure?
[11:17] <StuckMojo> ActionParsnip1: dist-upgraded a couple months ago and the network was dead after
[11:18] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: not it won't kill the 400 unless u select the 400
[11:18] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: maybe you need to get the drivers installed / compiled for the new kernel
[11:18] <ubuntu_first_tim> sweet, i'll try it as we speak
[11:18] <StuckMojo> ActionParsnip1: the work lappy is nice, so i haven't messed with it
[11:18] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_speak: ok
[11:18] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: im just familiar with the conf files so use those, saves space having gui apps doing nothing
[11:18] <ubuntu_first_tim> btw, in the docs, it says about adding a swap partiotion as well... do i need it?
[11:19] <StuckMojo> ActionParsnip1: i don't think so. it's probably just...busted. i had waited way too long to upgrade. im sure lots of shit is broken. apt touched like 1000+ packages
[11:19] <StuckMojo> heh
[11:19] <FloodBot1> StuckMojo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:19] <StuckMojo> probably should just do a fresh install
[11:19] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: sounds likely
[11:19] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: it's a good idea. allocate make twice your RAM size to swap
[11:19] <StuckMojo> i really have no need of Sid anymore now that Ubuntu is around
[11:20] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: i have 2gb or RAM so i made my swap partition 4gb
[11:20] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: ubuntu doesnt suit all needs necessarily
[11:20] <glandon> wow i so could have used this place when i was having resolution issues with my nvidia graphics card
[11:20] <dayo_> !swap | ubuntu_first_tim
[11:20] <StuckMojo> ActionParsnip1: yeah this Sid install is probably.....hell 4-5 years old
[11:20] <ActionParsnip1> glandon: its why its here
[11:20] <ubuntu_first_tim> when i partition it, i should set it as primary?
[11:20] <pisi> Hi. I upgraded my 8.10 to jaunty by dist-upgrade and converted the only partition I had to ext4. I was under the impression, that jaunty can now do ext4, including grub2 support. I installed grub2 but in chainload mode and now I can't boot into ubuntu
[11:20] <StuckMojo> ActionParsnip1: and it started as a -testing install
[11:20] <ActionParsnip1> StuckMojo: nice, i'd clean install to give it a minty feel
[11:21] <apocolyps1> any1 know much about boot up screen resolutions...............
[11:21] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: yeah
[11:21] <StuckMojo> yeah it'll just be tough to get the stuff off there i want to keep
[11:21] <ziroday> pisi: jaunty in #ubuntu+1
[11:21] <pisi> is there a way around it? I have not yet succeeded with upgrading grub from the jaunty live cd ...
[11:21] <glandon> yea well im kinda new to all this and didnt realize it was all here till after i had gotten everything set up
[11:21] <erUSUL> pisi: go to #ubuntu+1 for help about jaunty
[11:21] <StuckMojo> i need a new drive anyway, one of my raid1 disks is dead anyway
[11:21] <ActionParsnip1> apocolyps1: edit your xorg.conf so the leftmost resolution is the one you want to use
[11:21] <ubuntu_first_tim> where's the NTFS option?
[11:22] <StuckMojo> ok well enough chatting ;) thanks a lot gents! ever need help with PostgreSQL, i'm always in the channel during weekdays central time
[11:22] <nightrid3r> ubuntu_first_tim: use ext3
[11:22] <apocolyps1> action: resolution is fine under x, its just my boot up screens grub etc
[11:22] <alex_sleiborg> Anyone who can help me with some problems with the package manager and openoffice? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/105099/
[11:22] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: at a 100gb. maybe set swap to double-ram-size. /root to 50gb and the rest to /home
[11:23] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: or 30gb for /root. depends on what u plan on installing, later on
[11:23] <ActionParsnip1> apocolyps1: like I said, the screen res for that uses the leftmost res in xorg.conf so move the desired one to the left in the modes list in screen and you'll get that resolution for the boot screens, grub will always use the same res
[11:23] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: ext3
[11:23] <ActionParsnip1> dayo_: i wouldnt advise users use /root
[11:23] <orthodoc_> my firefox is fullscreen everytime it launches. How do I turn it off?
[11:23] <ActionParsnip1> dayo_: /root is the root users home directory
[11:24] <apocolyps1> action: oh sorry will try
[11:24] <StuckMojo> alex_sleiborg: where are you getting these from?
[11:24] <ActionParsnip1> orthodoc_: press F11
[11:24] <ubuntu_first_tim> dayo: ext3 will work with my files on the windows Hard disks?
[11:24] <ziroday> alex_sleiborg: try remove the openoffice.org-writer2latex package
[11:24] <StuckMojo> alex_sleiborg: why is it saying they're untrusted?
[11:24] <glandon> is anyone in here familiar with the game armegetron? i have it installed but when i try to play it it trys to use a resolution that isnt supported by my monitor i can support up to 1440x900
[11:24] <dayo_> ActionParsnip1: i usually create swap /root and /home
[11:24] <orthodoc_> ActionParsnip1: that brings it back , thanks but thats not the probelm
[11:24] <alex_sleiborg> StuckMojo: Don't know
[11:24] <nightrid3r> ubuntu_first_tim: no windows cant read ext3
[11:24] <muibe> well, can someone plz say where i find xorg.conf -file in intrepid?
[11:24] <muibe> well, can someone plz say where i find xorg.conf -file in intrepid?
[11:24] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: u will need to install something on your win partition to access ext3. but it works
[11:25] <ziroday> orthodoc_: try launching firefox in safe mode with, firefox -safe-mode. If that fixes it then use safe mode to remove all your configurations and plugins
[11:25] <orthodoc_> ActionParsnip1: How do i preven it from launching that way again?
[11:25] <nightrid3r> muibe: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:25] <Boohbah> nightrid3r: yes it can, with the proper software :)
[11:25] <erUSUL> muibe: if there is one (it is not mandatory) it will be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:25] <ActionParsnip1> orthodoc_: hold ctrl + shift and click the X to close it
[11:25] <orthodoc_> ziroday: thanks i will try that
[11:25] <ActionParsnip1> orthodoc_: should be ok
[11:25] <Boohbah> http://www.fs-driver.org/
[11:25] <ubuntu_first_tim> and does it work the other was round?
[11:25] <erUSUL> !repeat > muibe
[11:25] <muibe> erUSUL nightrid3r : well, it is a blank file
[11:25] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: yes
[11:26] <ubuntu_first_tim> threw ubuntu, am i able to accsess files on windows?
[11:26] <alex_sleiborg> ziroday: It says that it isn't installed, and i should try to remove openoffice.org
[11:26] <ubuntu_first_tim> cool
[11:26] <erUSUL> muibe: as i said modern Xserver releases do not need it
[11:26] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: i advice to keep the win->ubuntu access read-only, tho
[11:26] <erUSUL> muibe: althought you can crete one if you want
[11:26] <StuckMojo> alex_sleiborg: doesn't seem to be installing all the stuff that you'd normally get
[11:26] <orthodoc_> ziroday: fisrfox in safe mode doe snot prevent it from launching in full screen mode
[11:26] <ubuntu_first_tim> dayo, well, there goes nothing, wishh me luck :)
[11:27] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: good luck
[11:27] <ziroday> alex_sleiborg: the reason you are having these issues is that you are using externel repos. Remove openoffice and openoffice.org-writer2latex and then reinstall just openoffice
[11:27] <apocolyps1> actionParsnip1: my xorg.conf has nothing in it about modes??
[11:27] <Boohbah> ubuntu_first_tim: http://www.fs-driver.org/
[11:27] <ubuntu_first_tim> again, the same error: No root file system is defined.
[11:27] <ubuntu_first_tim> Please correct this from the partitioning menu."
[11:27] <glandon> screw it hey im looking for a good freeware game for linux preferably fps or rpg with good graphics any ideas?
[11:27] <ziroday> orthodoc_: so firefox -sade-mode didn't work? What about pressing F11 twice?
[11:27] <lanoxx-> ubuntu_first_tim, you have to set the mount point to "/"
[11:27] <lanoxx-> for the main partition
[11:27] <nightrid3r> Boohbah: thanks for the tip
[11:27] <orthodoc_> ziroday: will try that
[11:27] <ziroday> glandon: there are a few, you can look at urban terror which is a FPS
[11:27] <Boohbah> glandon: http://www.happypenguin.org/
[11:28] <quibbler> ubuntu_first_tim, the first partition should be /    not /root
[11:28] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: what partitions did u use
[11:28] <alex_sleiborg> ziroday: So now i have removed it, and what shall i do next?
[11:28] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: sorry, my mistake. /   NOT /root
[11:28] <StuckMojo> alex_sleiborg: do this: apt-get clean
[11:28] <ubuntu_first_tim> i took the 100gb
[11:28] <StuckMojo> alex_sleiborg: that will force the packages to be downloaded again
[11:28] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: u need to make a / partition. that the root partition
[11:28] <lanoxx-> ubuntu_first_tim, you should have at least / and swap, optionally also /home and /boot if you like
[11:29] <ubuntu_first_tim> LOL
[11:29] <reel_> Hi all, How does one set timeout for getaddrinfo/nslookup/ ? I tried adding options timeout:4 in /etc/resolve.conf but it does not help.
[11:29] <erUSUL> glandon: Urban Terror
[11:29] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: it should work now
[11:29] <ziroday> alex_sleiborg: reinstall openoffice
[11:29] <orthodoc_> ziroday: pressing f11 twice didn't help either...
[11:29] <ubuntu_first_tim> in the docs, it says :". Lastly enter the mount point as /. ", so i put "/." instead of " / " :)
[11:30] <ziroday> orthodoc_: erm okay, how about alt + left click and then dragging it down. Does that show the window bar?
[11:30] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: LOL
[11:30] <StuckMojo> alex_sleiborg: you do that?
[11:31] <ubuntu_first_tim> it asks me now whether to import from windows, should i?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip1> +1 urban terror
[11:31] <alex_sleiborg> StuckMojo: 2 sek
[11:31] <StuckMojo> alex_sleiborg: then try again, but if it gives the message about untrusted, say no.
[11:31] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: i usually click no
[11:31] <lanoxx-> ubuntu_first_tim, yes you can to that, it will im port settings from windows
[11:31] <lanoxx-> like you background and stuff
[11:31] <alex_sleiborg> StuckMojo: I'll try that, i'm just making a apt-get upgrade
[11:32] <lanoxx-> some settings and i dont know what else
[11:32] <StuckMojo> alex_sleiborg: apt-get clean will delete all your downloaded .deb files, so it will grab them again next time
[11:32] <StuckMojo> alex_sleiborg: you may need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to remove whatever whacky repo you got the bad files from
[11:32] <orthodoc_> ziroday: thanks for the help.
[11:32] <ubuntu_first_tim> i clicked install!
[11:32] <ziroday> orthodoc_: did alt + left click fix it?
[11:33] <orthodoc_> ziroday: what worked is at thsi link:https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+question/34312
[11:33] <ubuntu_first_tim> it's not a problem i'm doing it while using the live session, right?

[11:34] <orthodoc_> ziroday: i did dude, but it repeated everytime i restarted
[11:34] <ubuntu_first_tim> and one last thing (i think :) ), i chose the partiotion to be logical, is that ok?
[11:35] <ubuntu_first_tim> this is what is says in the docs: "Click Create new partition. Select Logical, Ext3 and set it to use the remaining space."
[11:35] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: which partition?
[11:35] <ubuntu_first_tim> the root
[11:35] <orthodoc_> ziroday: the point is it got stuck in the maximise position
[11:35] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: / should be primary, i think.
[11:35] <orthodoc_> ziroday: see what wc.000123 has written at the link i provided earlier
[11:36] <dayo_> ubuntu_first_tim: the rest can be logical
[11:36] <ubuntu_first_tim> casue the docs say: Click Create new partition. Select Logical, Ext3 and set it to use the remaining space

[11:47] <Oprtz> ActionParsnip1:  what to do dude ?
[11:48] <daxroc> Anyone have issues with firefox crashing , out of memory & NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE ?

[11:52] <Oprtz> ActionParsnip1:  i c
[11:52] <Someoneis> hey guys i need some help i have a computer with 1 hard drive with windows vista on it and i want to put my other hard drive which has xp and ubuntu on it now i was wondering.. will the grub bootloader take over the vista one?
[11:52] <kelli> so what can i use?
[11:52] <eeos> ikonia: sorry, my keyboard is giving up .... what I am interested in is to install the core of ubuntu, so that kernel and drivers and ssh are working .... so not the whole ubuntu, in particulars no dm's ....
[11:53] <ActionParsnip1> Somethief: as long as the bios points to the drive with grub on yes
[11:53] <histo> Someoneis, it depends how your bios treats the drive. If you hook it up as a secondary/slave drive it should boot the master first.
[11:53] <histo> Someoneis, which would be vista.
[11:53] <ActionParsnip1> Somethief: you will need to add options to grub to boot the extra drives etc
[11:53] <ikonia> eeos: thats not really very practical, as you need a fair bit to make a base install, +ssh, I suggest you install the normal desktop install and strip out things like X11 to make it more to your needs
[11:53] <Someoneis> oh the ubuntu one will be set as the slave drive.. what will happen then?
[11:53] <histo> Someoneis, Some bioses behave wierdly though and just choose a drive that makes no sense.
[11:53] <ZeroA4> eeos, looks like you want an ubuntu server + openssh-server
[11:53] <histo> Someoneis, it would just boot vista and ignore grub.
[11:54] <ActionParsnip1> histo: depends on the bios, most newer bios let you explicitly define which drive, the whole primary master == boot is way aold skool
[11:54] <eeos> ikonia: ZeroA4: the point is, I have to install from remote
[11:54] <histo> Someoneis, if you want ubuntu you can have hte ubuntu/xp drive as a the master and just add vista in grub.
[11:54] <ikonia> eeos: you can't, I thought we established that
[11:54] <ZeroA4> eeos, from remote how?
[11:54] <camelel> anyone knows how can i map the function key in my laptop to act as super button (windows key)?
[11:54] <Someoneis> ok cool but i need to know can i have 3 partitions on 1 drive?
[11:54] <ikonia> Someoneis: sure
[11:54] <camelel> yea
[11:54] <histo> ActionParsnip1, thats the point I was making. I'm from way back and determining which drive would boot back then was trivial depended a lot on the bios.
[11:54] <camelel> you can have up to 11 partitions on same drive
[11:54] <Someoneis> ok im not sure how because the options r crossed out..
[11:55] <ActionParsnip1> histo: oh totally, i remmeber those days
[11:55] <ActionParsnip1> histo: some new boards even moan if their is a  HDD as slave and an optical drive as master
[11:55] <Arceye> Anyone around that can help me with some research ?
[11:56] <ikonia> Arceye: this is a support channel
[11:56] <ikonia> Arceye: please try to keep on a support topic
[11:56] <ActionParsnip1> !ot | Arceye
[11:56] <Arceye> I am asking about ubuntu
[11:56] <eeos> ikonia: ZeroA4: by launching a delayed script that installs the kernel, the drivers, the lsb, and then ssh and then reboots .... the computer has access to the internet .... why should it not be possible?
[11:56] <ikonia> Arceye: support questions only
[11:57] <Someoneis> with the one with xp and ubuntu can i switch the boot loader to boot the widows boot loader because i want to do something plus i want to get this third partition in so i can install windows 7 beta
[11:57] <ikonia> eeos: ughhhh because you can't interact with the install CD like that
[11:57] <ikonia> eeos: you'd have to make your own install routine cd - which is not an ubuntu CD
[11:57] <ActionParsnip1> Arceye: if its to do with you having an issue with your ubuntu software / config then it is ontopic, everything else is dealt with in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:57] <Arceye> asking about support if ubuntu will work with the hardware I am thinking about buying
[11:57] <ActionParsnip1> !hcl | Arceye
[11:57] <ikonia> ActionParsnip1: too quick
[11:57] <ActionParsnip1> Arceye: buy smart and you will have fewer issues
[11:58] <ActionParsnip1> ikonia: thats what my gf says ;)
[11:58] <Someoneis> can i run stuff off a slave drive such as windows?
[11:58] <Arceye> trying to buy smart hense coming here and wanting to ask questions :)
[11:58] <ActionParsnip1> Arceye: good lad, get stuff that works out of the box and you're laughing all the way to the bank
[11:58] <ZeroA4> eeos, your delayed script should put an CD on the driver, boot the computer from de CD, manually chose the options to install and manually partition, and manually install ssh before you could acess remotelly
[11:58] <kelli> can anyone tell me a program that gives sound levels of music?
[11:59] <Someoneis> sure
[11:59] <Someoneis> goldwave
[12:00] <eeos> ikonia: ZeroA4: I do not want to use the cd at all .... I would download the image on partition of the hd, mount it as cd, and then what I said before. As you know the cd is not the only way to install ubuntu.
[12:00] <ikonia> eeos: then why are you asking if it's possible ?
[12:00] <Someoneis> ok guys i will try and make a third partition
[12:00] <ikonia> eeos: if thats your plan - do it ?
[12:00] <ZeroA4> eeos, and how exactlly can your image mount survive the reboot needed to install ?
[12:00] <Melik> http://www.wkowtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9667184 < lol
[12:01] <ikonia> ZeroA4: it can't
[12:01] <ZeroA4> ikonia, i know! looks like eeos dont!
[12:01] <ikonia> ZeroA4: and how can you install from something without bootin an OS
[12:02] <RizR> ubuntu-desktop conflicts with splashy. developers dont want to use splasy with ubuntu or some other reason for that?
[12:03] <eeos> ZeroA4: it does do not worry, I have done it several times .... I never use the cd, always download the last image on a partition .... the point here is whether the ssh will restart among the services from the image or not ....
[12:03] <eeos> ZeroA4: possibly we are not talkng about the same thing?
[12:03] <ikonia> eeos: if you set it up to - it will
[12:04] <eeos> ikonia: not that simple .... it you reboot from a local partition as if it were cd, then it is like booting a cd .... mmmm ....
[12:04] <ZeroA4> eeos, if you never use the CD you are not installing ubuntu as an OS but as an program of another SO... like wubi?
[12:04] <Kartagis> what's a good HTML editor besides NVU? that keeps giving me segfault
[12:04] <ikonia> eeos: yes it is that simple
[12:04] <ikonia> eeos: if you set the iamge to autostart ssh - it will
[12:04] <eeos> ZeroA4: nope .... I am sorry there is plenty of documentation ....
[12:04] <ikonia> Kartagis: any text editor, or scream maybe
[12:05] <eeos> ikonia: you have to modify the image then .... so it is possible ....
[12:05] <ikonia> eeos: you cannot install ubuntu from a default ubuntu install - if you want to make your own install routine - sure
[12:05] <ZeroA4> eeos, humm you tell grub to boot an .iso ? cool! but you still have to change the ubuntu iso to include openssh-server
[12:05] <ikonia> eeos: but then that is nothing to do with ubuntu, that becomes your own project
[12:06] <dabd> hi, I'm running Intrepid and I'm having problems with configure scripts because bin/sh links to dash.  Is it save to remove bin/sh and link it to /bin/bash or is it going to break other things?
[12:06] <eeos> ZeroA4: exactly hat is the point!:D
[12:06] <smartguyz> Question: is there a way to start and stop applications in Ubuntu automatically...?
[12:06] <ikonia> eeos: so your question "can you install ubuntu remotely" the answer is "no" - your question "is it possible to make my own image to allow me to install ubuntu remotley2 the answer is "yes"
[12:06] <ZeroA4> eeos, you have to remaster the ubuntu iso... there is documentation about it on the wiki
[12:06]  * eeos wonders about the meaning of the word flexibility
[12:07] <LetsGo67> Vista lets me use my camera as either a camera or a USB mass storage device.  Why can't Ubuntu do the same?  It only detects it as a camera (not USB), plus now F-Spot and gthumb won't work.  For once, Vista beats Ubuntu.
[12:07] <Kartagis> thanks ikonia, i couldn't remember the name
[12:08] <ZeroA4> LetsGo67, drivers

[12:09] <Discerer> ok so it's www-data... but www-data has no home-dir, where can I find its ~/.blabla?
[12:09] <ActionParsnip1> Discerer: ps -ef | grep apache
[12:09] <ZeroA4> eeos, you are welcome :)
[12:09] <ikonia> Discerer: it's a no-shell user,
[12:10] <merraton> could you tell me what edition should I download if I have IntelQuadCore processor?
[12:10] <Discerer> ikonia so it has no ~?

[12:11] <ZeroA4> LetsGo67, you comparission is not really fair you know? your Vista drivers for you cameras are made by the maker of the cam... they are complete... you ubuntu drivers for you cam is made up by users guessing how to make it work...
[12:11] <merraton> 4GB RAM
[12:11] <eeos> ZeroA4: if you are interested in installig without cd, what you do is to create a local iso in any directory (does not need to be a partition), then create a separate entry for grub pointing to it, and the restart pointing to that entry .... :)
[12:11] <Kartagis> smartguyz, add them to /etc/rc.local maybe?
[12:11] <merraton> should I go for: ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso ??

[12:12] <ikonia> Discerer: correct

[12:12] <ZeroA4> eeos, cool! i've never used it... but then i remeber reading about it on the wiki
[12:12] <ActionParsnip1> merraton: make sure you get the md5sum too so you can check the file you download
[12:13] <simplexio> merraton: amd64 = x86_64bit = all amd and intel cores
[12:13] <merraton> thanks :)
[12:13] <merraton> as I said file name is confusing ;)
[12:13] <vigo> merraton: That is the one
[12:13] <eeos> ZeroA4: it is the best system really .... no need to carry around cds .... if you have internet conection
[12:13] <merraton> thanks again for the swift help :)
[12:14] <ActionParsnip1> merraton: all here to help
[12:14] <salvo86> ciao !list
[12:14] <simplexio> merraton: it's "historical" reasons. amd had first 64bit x86 cpu, so first compiler which supported it named architecture to amd64.
[12:15] <vigo> I am still getting back into this distro, 8.10 rocks sox
[12:15] <ActionParsnip1> simplexio: they also approached MS first with their spec, MS told Intel they had to have some of the aMD instructions to make development easier
[12:16] <merraton> got it :)
[12:16] <merraton> wanted to make sure just in case ;)
[12:17] <vigo> I have an oldish Itronix, have yet to install cause I was wondering about the BIOS date thing?

[12:17] <more> apt-get won't upgrade the linux-generic packages... why is that?

[12:18] <more> ikonia: still hardy
[12:18] <ikonia> more: what version of the kernel though
[12:18] <simplexio> btw.. is 64bit for desktop + wine gaming working choice currently ?
[12:18] <ikonia> simplexio: depends , no more / less than 32bit
[12:18] <vigo> merraton: Nope, it installs clean and easy,,I am on WUBI now
[12:18] <more> ikonia: 2.6.24-21

I want synchronous, ie say if the prog writing the data into the device segfaults , then still it should be able to read the last 10 lines before segfault . So no buffering. Any help
[12:29] <B|ackPanther> quibbler,i will get a good look into that.Looks nice.thanks
[12:30] <simplexio> niklaus: do you mean: program 2> file ( redirect sterr to file
[12:30] <quibbler> B|ackPanther, don't try reading all at once...use as a reference
[12:30] <niklaus> simplexio, that stores 1000s of lines in the file
[12:30] <ZeroA4> niklaus, why not just make the prog write a plain text log file?
[12:31] <hareldvd> can I make the file ~/.xinitrc executed?
[12:31] <niklaus> actually millions of
[12:31] <WoLf_Loonie> ctrl-s did the trick for now, I'm able to read the whole line. and.. it makes no sense =\
[12:31] <merraton> bye
[12:31] <WoLf_Loonie> going to assault google with the new issue =) Thanks a lot for the help
[12:31] <merraton> thanks again
[12:32] <cweigle> Has anyone figured out the intrepid flashplayer bug yet?
[12:32] <glandon> quick question for the how do i figure out what the horizontal synch and vertical refresh rates are?
[12:32] <ZeroA4> glandon, look the manual of your monitor or look up this info for your exact model on google
[12:33] <simplexio> niklaus: well..
[12:33] <dr_willis> hareldvd,  i saw at one time some how.. i had a Xsession entry in my GDM sessions - i think it ran the .xsession file. you could link tha tto .xinitrc or make a GDM entry that did .xinitrc instead I dont recall where/how i got that entry in gdm however.
[12:33] <glandon> ive tryed i cant find anything that has them its a magnavox 19mf338b/27
[12:34] <simplexio> niklaus: tail -l 10 file , show last 10 lines from log :)
[12:34] <ZeroA4> glandon, but it is not generaly needed now... Xorg autodetects most monitor now a days
[12:34] <niklaus> simplexio, that is millions of lines with each line 100k, no way i'm going to write to disk
[12:35] <simplexio> niklaus:your own peogram ?
[12:35] <glandon> it didnt detect this one i had to manually input everything into xorg in order to get the 1440x900 resolution that the screen supports
[12:36] <hareldvd> dr_willis: Do you think the file ~/.xsession will do?
[12:36] <dr_willis> hareldvd,  go read    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomXSession
[12:36] <ZeroA4> glandon, what is you video card?
[12:37] <glandon> nvidia gforce fx 5700
[12:37] <ardchoille> Someone hilighted me?
[12:37] <mynameistux> hey all, I am trying to set up port forwarding on my router, to speed up my torrents, but transmission insists the port is closed
[12:37] <TheNo1Yeti> So I'm trying to decide which analystics program to go with for my server. I have google analytics tracking my main site on the server but I would like something local also that will let me read the logs the server generates. Anyone know which works better with lighttpd, AWstats or Webalizer? And which would work better in a low memory environment
[12:37] <ubuntu_first_tim> hello
[12:37] <ubuntu_first_tim> is dayo here?
[12:38] <simplexio> niklaus: if you have source then change code
[12:38] <ZeroA4> glandon, you can use Nvidia X Server Setting to change and save your resolution
[12:39] <mynameistux> ubuntu_first_tim: dayo_ does appear to be here
[12:39] <glandon> ok the reason i brought all this up is cus i have tryed installing armagetron and urban terror but both games change my resolution beyond what my montior is capable of
[12:40] <mynameistux> I am trying to forward port 51413 to 192.168.106, which is my IP addy. I think I have that set up, is there anything else I have forgotten to do?
[12:40] <mynameistux> I have done all the router stuff, I think
[12:41] <cweigle> someone join #trivia
[12:41] <mynameistux> do I have to take down part of the firewall or something

[12:50] <ActionParsnip1> Someoneis: power off and make sure master and slave jumpers are set correctly, you will probably find both are set to master
[12:50] <WoLf_Loonie> Someoneis: check if the jumpers are set correctly on the devices, if you're using parallel ata devices.
[12:50] <Someoneis> no im using ide man

[13:03] <morghanphoenix> Anyone know why a sound card that seems to be detected would have no sound?
[13:04] <morghanphoenix> I get 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) from lspci
[13:04] <qqx> why does firefox start full screen every time i start it up?
[13:04] <simplexio> morghanphoenix: sound levels arent right
[13:04] <WoLf_Loonie> Another simple question: Where I can find a list of the actually used runlevels (I'm aware of upstart) on ubuntu, or some actual information on it? I want to change the default (2?) to not load X and all the other "desktop" stuff, and create a different runlevel for when I need to sit in front of it.
[13:04] <morghanphoenix> Look fine in the mixer
[13:04] <morghanphoenix> simplexio, ^
[13:04] <ne2k__> sorry, wrong channel
[13:04] <simplexio> morghanphoenix: laptop ?
[13:04] <ne2k__> I've installed gcjwebplugin, restarted firefox (yes, I checked all windows were closed, and that the process was actually not running), and a page with an applet still tells me that additional plugins are needed; is there something else I need to restart or do or what?
[13:05] <morghanphoenix> Nope, desktop, but an e-machines one.
[13:05] <korek> I reinstaled ubuntu serwer edition 8.10 It has the same internet settings as before. Internet working fine but after I'm trying to run apt-get update it network stops working, i cant get new ip through dhclient as well(it gets good connection at boot) any one have idea ho?
[13:05] <jrib> ne2k__: pastebin the contents of the page you get when you type "about:plugins" in your address bar
[13:05] <simplexio> WoLf_Loonie: /etc/rc?.d
[13:05] <ne2k__> jrib: hmm, it's not in there
[13:06] <qqx> why does firefox start full screen every time i start it up?
[13:06] <morghanphoenix> I know my old toughbook needed firmware, but I can't seem to find anything on this that isn't very outdated.
[13:06] <simplexio> korek: "good" connection means its working, but apt-get update dosent work ?
[13:06] <WoLf_Loonie> simplexio: yeah, I know where they reside and how to enable/disable.. I just meant if there's a list of what they're used for from Ubuntu, as I see it's quite different than Debian
[13:06] <ne2k__> jrib: what can I check to see if it's installed?
[13:07] <WoLf_Loonie> To avoid messing up a runlevel used by the system.
[13:07] <gh0st2> if ive downloaded a newer version of the nvidia driver from their website, can I get ubuntu to manage and deploy it, instead of having to manually do so myself?

[13:08] <jrib> gh0st2: k, you have to install manually then
[13:08] <gh0st2> bugger
[13:08] <gh0st2> was hoping ubuntu would have a way

[13:22] <simplexio> korek: .. bad english.. does connection die if you use another program to move big files
[13:22] <hischild> mystery, just tellin me if it started with an i would be enough, but thank you.
[13:23] <korek> simplexio
[13:23] <hischild> shearn89, it's installed ;-)
[13:23] <korek> simplexio: i'll check
[13:23] <drdozer> I was referred here to ask about agpgart
[13:23] <Ienorand> jrib: I want nautilus to revert all folders back to the value of default_folder_viewer in gconf (or the value of "View new folders" in nautilus-prefs.) whenever I quit all nautilus browser windows. I.E. I want all folders to go back to icon_view when I quit nautilus.
[13:23] <enterneo> I need to drop few kexts into my Leopard partition, because my keyboard has stopped working after 10.5.6 update; somehow I need to do a HFS+ write. I am currently typing this from Ubuntu which is set to dual boot with my OS X; could anyone suggest an option to do a HFS+ write from either Ubuntu(my HFS+ has journaling enabled) or using some LIVECD somehow
[13:23] <jrib> Ienorand: how are you sure it's possible?
[13:23] <mystery> thanks so now I know that its installed
[13:23] <Dark613> Ciao a tutti!

[13:24] <shearn89> hischild: i'm a manual-script-kiddy
[13:24] <hischild> shearn89, heh ok.
[13:24] <drdozer> my laptop has an intel gfx card, and since I upgraded to intrepid, 3d graphics crashes, there doesn't seem to be any hardware accelleration, and xrandr will crash xorg
[13:24] <Ienorand> jrib: someone sid there was an option in gconf-editor for it.
[13:24] <EdgeX-> Hello; Could any of you recommend any good video editing programs for Ubuntu 8.10- I'm having a hard time finding one
[13:24] <mystery> hischild: ok
[13:25] <hischild> mystery, try this for me please --> open up a terminal, and type nm-applet in there. Does it return an error? DO NOT paste!
[13:25] <sipior> enterneo: maybe best to boot from the os x installer disc, yeah? i don't believe writing to a journaled hfs+ filesystem is supported by anybody else...
[13:25] <jrib> Ienorand: you should ask said person as I don't see any such option
[13:25] <shearn89> EdgeX-: i'm just looking at the ubuntustudio packages.
[13:25] <a931bw> i'm can't update
[13:26] <shearn89> EdgeX-: there's pitivi, and kino
[13:26] <EdgeX-> Hmm; I'll take a look
[13:26] <jrib> a931bw: why?  Explain exactly what you are doing and what the result is.
[13:27] <mystery> doesnt say error but it has a message
[13:27] <shearn89> EdgeX-: kino looks a tad basic to me...
[13:27] <mystery> hischild: its a warning message
[13:27] <EdgeX-> Yea; I'm looking at pitivi now
[13:28] <Ienorand> jrib: right, I have done, but I figured someone here might know...
[13:28] <jrib> Ienorand: k
[13:28] <hischild> mystery, does the icon appear top right?
[13:28] <enterneo> sipior, nice suggestion, I assume I can launch terminal if not finder?
[13:28] <ubuntu_first_tim> hello
[13:28] <boxxy> hi
[13:28] <jrib> a931bw: did you read and follow the instructions ubottu sent you?
[13:28] <boxxy> My name is boxxy
[13:28] <sipior> enterneo: actually, have a look here: http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html
[13:28] <sipior> enterneo: and yes, you can launch a terminal from the install cd
[13:28] <weiwei330> 好多人阿
[13:29] <jrib> !cn | weiwei330
[13:29] <mystery> hischild: no it doesnt
[13:30] <hischild> mystery, then there is already another version loaded somewhere. You'll have to kill it and restart it somehow, but i'm afraid i don't have time to help you with that. Ask the channel for help, there'll be somehow out there who can do it. GL!

[13:32] <quibbler> !ask
[13:32] <sarmisak> enterneo: yeah, greap application, I just need to find a way to write simple codes to it like I did in mIRC :D
[13:33] <a931bw> Yes
[13:33] <a931bw> And it error
[13:33] <a931bw> http://paste.ubuntu.com/105156/ There error
[13:33] <jrib> a931bw: no, because the directions ubottu gave you tell you to use different repositories.  Please read the document more closely
[13:33] <Pici> a931bw: Feisty is no longer supported.
[13:33] <silfer> does anyone know how to make samba shares so windows can see it?
[13:34] <korek> simplexio: can you point me to some big file?
[13:34] <a931bw> But i'm need update 7.04 > 7.10 > 8.04 8.10
[13:34] <enterneo> sarmisak, I used to use Pidgin for IRC up until now :-|
[13:34] <JuJuBee> Are there any NIC's that are better with UBUNTU than others?  I need to get a new one.
[13:34] <lonel> hi any one here using openldap with ubuntu?
[13:34] <jrib> a931bw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades did you read this?
[13:34] <cpsugan07> wat the hell is going on here
[13:34] <sarmisak> enterneo: you have found the right path then :D IRC sucks with pidgin
[13:34] <enterneo> sipior, saw the link, seems it does not have write support
[13:35] <sipior> enterneo: pity
[13:35] <mystery> Does anyone know how to locate the network manager?
[13:35] <SlimeyPete> JuJuBee: You mean wifi or wired? Practically all wired ones work these days, with the possible exception of very new chipsets
[13:35] <sarmisak> JuJuBee: try 8139 chipsets.
[13:35] <JuJuBee> Wired.
[13:35] <quibbler> cpsugan07, do you have a problem please state it
[13:35] <enterneo> sarmisak, after using adium for 6 months, I feel the same for pidgin
[13:35] <SlimeyPete> If in doubt, go for a Realtek 8*
[13:35] <simplexio> http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.28.tar.bz2
[13:35] <SlimeyPete> they work with every OS in the world, including all the OSes that don't yet exist (maybe)
[13:36] <cpsugan07> i need free shell account to access from windows
[13:36] <a931bw> Yes

[13:36] <cpsugan07> yes
[13:36] <a931bw> :(
[13:36] <cpsugan07> i cant able to install my graphic driver
[13:37] <cpsugan07> it s showing some error
[13:38] <silfer> anyone now how to make samba shares that windows can write to?
[13:38] <JuJuBee> SlimeyPete: I work for a school and we have an account with TigerDirect.  They don't seem to sell Realtek.  What Manufacturers use same chipset?
[13:38] <jrib> !who | a931bw
[13:39] <jrib> a931bw: that document tells you the repositories you need to use so that you can bring your system up to date before upgrading.  Look at the "Fully updating 7.04" section.
[13:39] <mystery> Does anyone know how to locate the network manager?
[13:39] <simplexio> silfer: yes. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[13:39] <sarmisak> JuJuBee: realtek is a chipset not a brand name, some brands might have it on their products
[13:39] <JuJuBee> I know.  What manufact. use that chipset.
[13:39] <ziroday> mystery: its in the top right, it looks like two computer screens together
[13:39] <JuJuBee> Can't search by chipset on their site.
[13:40] <jrib> silfer: right click on a directory -> sharing properties
[13:40] <silfer> simplexico: yea i tried reading that but is there a easier gui way?
[13:40] <SlimeyPete> JuJuBee: that's often a bit tricky to figure out. You may have to put some brands & model numbers into google and see what coems up.
[13:40] <SlimeyPete> *comes
[13:40] <silfer> jrib:will try that...
[13:40] <mystery> Ziroday: yea thats where it usually is but it isnt there for some reason
[13:40] <laggerbear> ok. another question rewarding fstab.How i can set write/delete access to a HDD?
[13:41] <a931bw> Jrib i'm Updated Sistem
[13:41] <jrib> laggerbear: did you ever answer my question?
[13:41] <sarmisak> JuJuBee: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=534927&CatId=200
[13:41] <jrib> a931bw: doesn't matter
[13:41] <ziroday> mystery: see if the program nm-applet is running. You can check by doing ps aux | grep nm-applet
[13:41] <sarmisak> JuJuBee: it has a "crab" on the chipset
[13:41] <jrib> a931bw: use those repositories to be sure.  Just follow that page to the letter
[13:41] <chazco> Hi... can anyone tell me where the Ubuntu theme music is so I can delete it?
[13:41] <JuJuBee> sarmisak:  I need Gig
[13:41] <jrib> chazco: why do you want to delete it?  Do you just want to turn it off?
[13:42] <jrib> laggerbear:  what filesystem?
[13:42] <chazco> jrib - I cant turn it off, seems to ignore the setting under sounds
[13:42] <sarmisak> JuJuBee: sorry then, maybe you might want to call tiger direct and ask to some salesperson.
[13:42] <mystery> ziroday: I should do this in terminal right
[13:42] <JuJuBee> THink I will do that.  Thanks for the help.
[13:42] <jrib> chazco: what sound are you talking about?  The drums?  Or the "jungle sound" after you login?
[13:42] <ziroday> mystery: yep
[13:42] <chazco> jrib - The longish one that plays after you login
[13:43] <chazco> jrib - The setting used to work, so i know its the right one...
[13:43] <sarmisak> JuJuBee: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=711270&CatId=1175
[13:43] <mystery> ziroday: i got something in return but i dont know what i means
[13:43] <ziroday> mystery: can you pastebin it please :)
[13:43] <jrib> chazco: create a new user.  See if using system -> preferences -> sound -> sounds -> login -> disabled works for the new user.
[13:44] <mystery> ziroday: Ok sure. how should i pastebin
[13:44] <chazco> jrib - It seems to work on this if i log out and back in again, but will play after a reboot. Will give that a go though.
[13:45] <JuJuBee> sarmisak: how do you know that uses Realtek chipset?  Even netgear website doesn't seem to tell that.
[13:46] <chazco> jrib - Same. Any other ideas?
[13:46] <sarmisak> JuJuBee: i told you, realtek's logo is a crab :D I just looked at the pictures
[13:46] <JuJuBee> I can't tell that is a crab, pic is too small for my tired eyes.  ;)  Thanks for pointing that out for me.
[13:47] <jrib> chazco: what modifications have you made to your system?
[13:47] <chazco> jrib - Some stuff installed from the repos (just the usual), no tweaks or anything else though. May try reinstalling if it comes to it.
[13:48] <sarmisak> JuJuBee: no problem :)
[13:48] <korek> simplexio: i'll try to reinstall the system one more time
[13:48] <mrw> hi *. I just installed ubuntu and now a process "/bin/dd bs 1 f /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klgd/kmsg"  is using all my cpu. What is that?
[13:48] <jrib> chazco: well I'm able to disable that sound here.  I though it might be a permissions issue but if it happens with a new user, then that's ruled out.  As a workaround you can probably just tell it to play some non-existant sound
[13:49] <jrib> mrw: there's a bug at bugs.ubuntu.com about it
[13:49] <ertikto> afsyahhabibie
[13:49] <jrib> ertikto: hi, do you have an ubuntu support question?
[13:49] <chazco> jrib - Yep, may try that. The setting remains in the Sounds dialog, so its getting saved somewhere, so dont think its a permission fault
[13:49] <mrw> jrib: ok.. thanks. can i kill it?
[13:50] <jrib> mrw: I have no idea, read the bug report and comments
[13:50] <mrw> jrib: it seems to be down (bugs.ubuntu.com
[13:51] <jrib> mrw: not here

[13:57] <jrib> ne2k__: close firefox, run 'ps -ef | grep firefox' to make sure there are no running instances left
[13:57] <Sub101> mystery: if its not there do alt-f2 and type nm-applet
[13:58] <eights> mystery: if your running gnome, you can just open nautilus and type network://

[13:58] <spsneo> eights: yeah it worked.. is there no solution to work without adding the share ?
[13:59] <spsneo> eights: as many I times i dont know the shared folder?

[13:59] <mystery> sub101: I tried that and it wouldnt load

[14:57] <_ptr_> On all of my ubuntu 8.04 machines the System->Adminstartion->Printing setup stopped working. The spinning wheel shows up for a while than nothing. The machines are up to date, this must be a recent development (1-3 weeks my guess). Does anybody else have this problem or could it confirm?
[14:57] <Smoke420> ActionParsnip1, i have followed that
[14:57] <clark> ActionParsnip1, how to get it?
[14:57] <bazhang> clark, what is the chipset; try lspci and paste.ubuntu.com with it
[14:57] <ThomasD> Hi, I would like to compile a kernel with HIGHMEM64G option, but I also want to keep my current kernel, how would I best go about this?

[14:58] <ActionParsnip1> clark: as long as your wireless adapter is drivered up you are good to go

[15:00] <ThomasD> Pici: the ubuntu way or the good old debian way
[15:00] <ActionParsnip1> clark: make sure you run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[15:03] <SuperLag> Do you guys know of a terminal program for Linux that will allow you to send one command *simultaneously* to multiple tabs/sessions? (iTerm for OS X does this, but I'm looking for a Linux version)
[15:04] <_ptr_> Could somebody confirm whether the Printing setup working on an up to date Ubuntu 8.04?
[15:04] <GazaIsrael_Peace> im on desktop dell pc, do i need to load acpi-support?
[15:05] <ActionParsnip1> _ptr_: i'd imagine cups is still rocking hard, depends what printer you are wanting to use
[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> GazaIsrael_Peace, Usually on Dells I have to kill it.
[15:06] <pm2> Hello - I'm working on using libpam-ldap and libnss-ldap to handle storage of all user account info and authentication.  Is there a script of some sort that will migrate all of my existing account information into the ldap database?

[15:06] <ActionParsnip1> _ptr_: try: http://localhose:631
[15:06] <GazaIsrael_Peace> ok disabling acpid and acpi-support since im on dell desktop
[15:06] <Juaco> hello
[15:07] <GazaIsrael_Peace> as you say Jack_Sparrow
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> GazaIsrael_Peace, One sec.
[15:07] <ActionParsnip1> _ptr_: http://localhost:631
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> GazaIsrael_Peace, 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 "--"
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> GazaIsrael_Peace, those last two are what I use
[15:08] <Juaco> my ubuntu is reporting a wrong UTC time
[15:08] <Juaco> someone have a clue how to get around that?
[15:08] <_ptr_> ActionParsnip1:  I got it, but why the setup stopped working from the gnome menu?
[15:08] <Juaco> seems it's shifted by +1
[15:08] <Jack_Sparrow> GazaIsrael_Peace, If you have cd errors... Burn the install disk at a very slow speed, HP and Dell both seem to need that
[15:09] <CardinalFang> Juaco, reporting how?  "date -u"?
[15:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Juaco, daylight savings comes to mind
[15:09] <Juaco> it says 16:09 UTC, while it is now 15:_09 UTC
[15:09] <ianh99> Juaco: Do you dual boot with Windows ?
[15:10] <CardinalFang> Juaco, Are you near the meridian, spatially?
[15:10] <Juaco> ianh: no, it is a ubuntu only system with UTC=yes in /etc/defaults/rcS
[15:10] <GazaIsrael_Peace> Jack_Sparrow: i have already installed ubuntu from 8.04 upgraded to 8.10 and now i want to disable application which is not needed on my pc
[15:10] <Jack_Sparrow> GazaIsrael_Peace, np
[15:10] <ActionParsnip1> _ptr_: no idea, i dont use gnome
[15:10] <GazaIsrael_Peace> Jack_Sparrow: i think i need splash for those graphics while booting to look cute :) am i right to enable it?
[15:11] <ActionParsnip1> _ptr_: i always use the web interface which has stood for eons
[15:11] <Juaco> i'm in -300 (argentina) but right now we are in DST -200
[15:11] <Jack_Sparrow> GazaIsrael_Peace, Yes you can leave them enabled
[15:11] <Jack_Sparrow> GazaIsrael_Peace, that instruction was for users having issue with installing and we are looking for errors on boot
[15:11] <GazaIsrael_Peace> and since this is not a laptop, ill disable apmd , right?
[15:12] <markiv1982> Hello All :)
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> GazaIsrael_Peace, Im not sure if that controls drive spindown as well ..
[15:12] <Juaco> the DST is working, it effectively substracts two hours from GMT0, but as GMT is shifted, localtime shifts one hour too :S
[15:12] <GazaIsrael_Peace> drive spindown? im sorry i dont get it
[15:12] <_ptr_> ActionParsnip1:  thanks for the web interface tip.
[15:13] <CardinalFang> Hi all.  Twice lately my machine hangs after asking for my password at the screensaver.  I think I noticed last night (via strace) that writes to /dev/log were hanging, after some network wonkiness with my ISP.  So -- I suspect the problem is with syslogd.  Any advice for debugging?
[15:13] <J-_> Where can I get gtk+ >= 2.14.1 for Hardy?
[15:13] <ActionParsnip1> _ptr_: its a sweet interface :)
[15:13] <Jack_Sparrow> GazaIsrael_Peace, advanced power.. I am not sure if that spins down a drive after x minutes of non 0use or not.. Kinda handy if you are on all the time

[15:25] <Abracadabra> hi
[15:25] <Juaco> markiv1982: first check what audio system you are using, in Preferences -> sound (chances are that you are using Pulseaudio), then i woulod google for +"my audio system" +5.1 audio ports or something like that
[15:25] <Jack_Sparrow> SuperLag, interpid is the latest stable

[15:25] <SuperLag> Jack_Sparrow: see your last comment to savageone
[15:26] <SuperLag> Abracadabra: don't quote me on this... I'm guessing... but I think kubuntu-desktop would do it. That may be overkill though.
[15:26] <Abracadabra> SuperLag: why would it be overkill ?
[15:26] <maxb> Does NetworkManager have any documentation? At all?
[15:26] <markiv1982> Juaco thanks for u reply.. let me try it now :)

[15:27] <CardinalFang> maxb, It's pretty sparse, for my needs.  (VPNC)
[15:27] <SuperLag> Abracadabra: well, what you'd end up with is an Ubuntu install with both Gnome and KDE.
[15:27] <SuperLag> Abracadabra: I'm not sure if that's what you're after.
[15:27] <Fuzzy> ok so nobody can help me?
[15:27] <SuperLag> Abracadabra: if you want just KDE, you may want to do a straight Kubuntu install.
[15:27] <Juaco> mirkiv1982: a8! good luck with that
[15:28] <SuperLag> Fuzzy: what is a "good" source list? isn't the stock sources doing the trick for you?

[15:29] <CardinalFang> clark, the repository owner's, I presume.
[15:29] <SuperLag> Jack_Sparrow: my mistake.

[15:33] <Juaco> tobywuk: i think your ftp server can limit chdir acces above the default login dir, but in any case you can set permissions to /home such as the user cannot read /home...but it's just a guess
[15:33] <tobywuk> Juaco, Ah thank you, so it would be an option in my ftp servers config?
[15:34] <rb2k> hiho
[15:34] <dljoyner> hello
[15:34] <rb2k> any idea what could cause my UMTS connection to simply drop? (like this: http://pastebin.com/d69d58208)
[15:34] <Juaco> tobywk: yes, in my experience (about 3 ftp servers) it is a common config option
[15:34] <clark> wget -q http://apt.wicd.net/wicd.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - <--who know how to do this?
[15:34] <sky_1> how to open .7z file under ubuntu ?
[15:34] <rb2k> this happens when trying to connect to it
[15:34] <sekrisme> sky_1: install 7zip
[15:35] <dljoyner> probs with synfig
[15:35] <glade88> hello.. to make a permanent change to my $PATH, do I add the path info at ~/.bashrc ?
[15:35] <sekrisme> sky_1: "sudo aptitude install 7z"
[15:35] <rb2k> sky_1, "sudo aptitude install p7zip"
[15:35] <dljoyner> synfig tries to start but doesn't
[15:35] <sky_1> tss
[15:35] <sky_1> thank you :D
[15:36] <Juaco> glade88: yes
[15:36] <glade88> Juaco: what all do I add?
[15:36] <dual> I've got a Gmail account, and I would like to backup my emails. I use the Web interface for the most of the time, but I want a copy in thunderbird. Should I use Pop or Imap?
[15:36] <sky_1> how to use it now ?
[15:36] <sky_1> its command line app or with gui ?
[15:36] <Travis-42> I accidentally pressed a key and made an important window semi-transparent.  how do I undo this?
[15:37] <sekrisme> dual: imap doesnt copy to local default as pop does
[15:37] <sekrisme> dual: but you can config it to so it doesnt really matter what protocol you use
[15:37] <dual> Ok, so in other words, I should use POP?
[15:37] <Jack_Sparrow> dual, I impa because I can access them from multiple terminals, work office laptop and keep them on the server until I delete.. Kinda handy
[15:37] <sky_1> uhm ?
[15:38] <sekrisme> dual: pop3 would probably be a setting less to set =)
[15:38] <dual> Not disadvantages?
[15:38] <dual> No disadvantages*
[15:38] <dual> ?
[15:38] <Jack_Sparrow> dual Do you ever access frommore than one machine
[15:38] <sky_1> i dont see 7zip in menu...how to use it ?
[15:39] <Adam_> Juaco: I would consider it, I'd like to learn to edit my grub file by hand, im just worried it will break if I play with it
[15:39] <dual> I use the web interface both at home and at school, though I would like a backup of my mail at home
[15:39] <dual> Jack_Sparrow: Is pop the best solution then?
[15:39] <Jack_Sparrow> dual, I would imap
[15:39] <clark> i do wget -q http://apt.wicd.net/wicd.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add <you>-|gpg
[15:39] <clark> bash: you: No such file or directory
[15:39] <clark> gpg: processing message failed: eof
[15:39] <clark> anyone can help me on that?
[15:39] <dual> Ok, but if I open a mail in thunderbird, will it go away from gmail then?
[15:39] <stopmashin> sss
[15:39] <stopmashin> heloo
[15:40] <rb2k> sky_1, just click on the file
[15:40] <Juaco> Adam_: it can break, (i've f***d my system so so many times). but if you want to try, make a copy of the original and have a bootdisk at hand
[15:40] <clark> Juaco, can help me  wget -q http://apt.wicd.net/wicd.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add <you>-|gpg
[15:40] <clark> bash: you: No such file or directory

[15:40] <sekrisme> anyone knows of a way to mount stuff from fstab without using cli/run dialog?
[15:40] <sekrisme> remote stuff that is, like sshfs
[15:40] <clark> i dont know how to do the keys
[15:40] <tobywuk> Juaco, the problem now is that my normal user can not see the /home/ftp file only the /home/myuserfilehere
[15:40] <Jack_Sparrow> clark, Stop repeating and have some patience
[15:40] <clark> Jack_Sparrow, now one answer it..
[15:40] <sekrisme> clark: remove <you> from the row
[15:40] <sky_1> clark cent
[15:41] <Juaco> clark: i dunno what are you talking about, is it a repo  key?
[15:41] <Adam_> Juaco: I still have my live cd, I guess i can launch from cd and reinstall grub if I had too.
[15:41] <Juaco> tobywuk: again, the default login dir for users is normal ftp server config, just read the docs it must be in there
[15:42] <Travis-42> I accidentally pressed a button and made a window transparent.  how do I make it opaque again?  it doesn't appear to be the alt+scrollwheel thing.
[15:42] <harlemdavvey> hey guys i have a quick question i'd like to ask you.. do you have in mind the ubuntu gnome desktop? i need some help with it
[15:42] <sky_1> so ?
[15:42] <Pici> clark: Where did you get that command? The proper command is on http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php
[15:42] <rb2k> sky_1, so what?
[15:42] <Juaco> Adam_: then do it, it's god to learn text config IMO
[15:42] <Juaco> good
[15:43] <sky_1> rb2k: archive is not supported...i cant only click
[15:43] <rb2k> it should be once you installed pk7zip
[15:43] <harlemdavvey> i have in my desktop some folders like "Images", or "music" or "photos" or "desktop"... if i delete them from the desktop, will i loose every data i have contained in them?
[15:43] <pyrophelia> how do I install sshd in ubuntu?
[15:43] <rb2k> *p7zip
[15:43] <Pici> pyrophelia: sudo apt-get install ssh
[15:43] <sekrisme> sky_1: aptitude install 7z
[15:43] <pyrophelia> I did
[15:43] <rb2k> sekrisme: no package called 7z for my 8.10 install
[15:43] <pyrophelia> oh n/m
[15:44] <pyrophelia> ty
[15:44] <sekrisme> rb2k: ok
[15:44] <glade88> I dont have a ~/.bash_profile at all. so where does my path info go?
[15:44] <a931bw> What name of program which auto download Video drivers?
[15:44] <Juaco> tobywuk: also check the user has access to /home/ftp. That means that dir must have at least read access granted to the user or a group that user belongs to
[15:44] <sky_1> tssss
[15:44] <a931bw> What name of program which auto download Video drivers?
[15:44] <sekrisme> sky_1: works great for me =D
[15:44] <enzotib> glade88, .profile and .bashrc
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> a931bw, Please dont repeat
[15:45] <Pici> glade88: .profile, see the comments at the top of the file for more info

[15:46] <apokalyp1> i just dist-upgraded to the jaunty alpha, and my udev keeps renaming my eth devices _no matter what_, do i have to purge /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules for it to play nice?
[15:46] <harlemdavvey> guys, the folders i have on the desktop are the same folders that are listed in my "place" button on the menu panel of gnome! if i delete the folders "photos", "desktop" "Models", Music" , Images" from the desktop, will i erase those folders of my panel too??
[15:46] <Juaco> Adam_: congrats!
[15:46] <hendrixski> !enlightenment
[15:46] <Pici> apokalyp1: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion.
[15:47] <apokalyp1> ;) thanks
[15:47] <hendrixski> :-/  is there a repo for Enlightenmtn desktop on Intrepid that WORKS?
[15:47] <harlemdavvey> guys, the folders i have on the desktop are the same folders that are listed in my "place" button on the menu panel of gnome! if i delete the folders "photos", "desktop" "Models", Music" , Images" from the desktop, will i erase those folders of my panel too??
[15:47] <Juaco> glade88: how's going with the $PATH?
[15:47] <GazaIsrael_Peace> btw
[15:47] <eights> henrixski: yea one sec, let me find the link
[15:47] <knopf> is there a way to repair permissions? I somehow hosed up permissions my /var directory
[15:47] <SuperLag> sky_1: I think you may be looing for the p7zip or p7zip-full packages
[15:47] <xxploit> question: is there some kind of fix for brasero, ive been reading that theres problems with wodim? Basically I cant even burn an audio cd it just fails...I'm guessing it has to be the wodim problem since gnomebaker fails also and it uses wodim too.
[15:47] <hendrixski> eights, thanks
[15:48] <mattgyver83> harlemdavvey, the folders on your panel do you mean in the places menu?
[15:48] <GazaIsrael_Peace> where is this sound before the login screen appear? i need to change the sound/audio before the login screen? anyone?
[15:48] <harlemdavvey> mattgyver83: yes exactly
[15:48] <sky_1> SuperLag: i think that i downloaded all -_-
[15:48] <SuperLag> sky_1: I found this by doing the following from the command line: apt-cache search 7z
[15:48] <eXlin> how to get disk usage in terminal. ls -lh doesnt help, because it gives size of all directiories in / 4.0K
[15:49] <sky_1> tssss
[15:49] <sky_1> now it works
[15:49] <sky_1> -_-
[15:49] <harlemdavvey> mattgyver83: what do you think about that? about my question i mean
[15:49] <blip-> hi all,  whenever i close Dolphin fm under KDE3 i get this message from KDE http://img60.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snap2um1.jpg   ... any ideas what may be causing this ?   (my hdd is plenty empty)    using kubuntu 8.04 btw
[15:49] <glade88> Juaco: that is temporary I think?
[15:49] <eights> henrixski: add deb http://cafelinux.org/Downloads/oz-os hungrytiger main to your /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:49] <eights> henrixski: and apt-get update
[15:49] <glade88> Juaco: I'd like a more permanent change
[15:49] <lasivian> I need to benchmark/test my video to see how good (crappy) it is, what can I use? thanks

[15:50] <hendrixski> eights, sweet
[15:50] <mattgyver83> Those are just bookmarks, if you delete the folder obviously the contents go away and the link should as well.  Do you just want to remove the bookmarks?
[15:50] <Juaco> glade88, $PATH can be set permanently, in fact you have one that's set everytime you boot
[15:51] <harlemdavvey> mattgyver83: yes, i just want to erase the bookmark
[15:51] <mattgyver83> open nautilus, press crtl+b
[15:51] <knopf> how can I see to which package a file /var/xy belongs to, please?
[15:51] <eights> henrixski: if for some reason those repos are broken let me know i'll dig up another one msg me i may be afk for a sec
[15:51] <mattgyver83> then you can remove the bookmarks only and keep your folders
[15:51] <hendrixski> eights, so "hungrytiger" is the distro/name for the oz-os equivalent of Intrepid?
[15:51] <SlimeyPete> knopf: dpkg -S /var/xy    (I think)
[15:51] <glade88> Juaco: ok, what would be the command? export PATH=/new/path:$PATH ?
[15:52] <knopf> dpkg -S /var/backup is not owned by a package
[15:52] <knopf> how come?
[15:52] <harlemdavvey> mattgyver83: i just have to delete bookmarks? i mean.. i find listed 3 items
[15:52] <SlimeyPete> knopf: try "dpkg -S backup"
[15:52] <SlimeyPete> paths seem to confuse it a bit
[15:52] <eights> henrixski: one sec
[15:52] <Juaco> glade88: yes! that would work, just add it to your ~/.bashrc
[15:52] <mattgyver83> harlemdavvey, thats what you just said you wanted to do
[15:52] <marabout> Anyone have any experience with  "Java Web Start" on Ubuntu?
[15:52] <mattgyver83> harlemdavvey, did i misunderstand?
[15:52] <harlemdavvey> mattgyver83: okok, yes i understood really well
[15:52] <knopf> SlimeyPete: can I do 'apt-get base-files' without hosing my system?
[15:53] <harlemdavvey> thank you very much:)
[15:53] <mattgyver83> harlemdavvey, did that work for you?
[15:53] <SlimeyPete> knopf: you mean to remove, or re-install?
[15:53] <knopf> SlimeyPete: I mean 'apt-get install --reinstall base-system'
[15:53] <SlimeyPete> ah
[15:54] <harlemdavvey> mattgyver: yes it worked but now i have removed my folders from "places" and they remained in the desktop xD
[15:54] <Juaco> if anyone can help me with weird "wrong UTC" problem, it will really save me
[15:54] <knopf> SlimeyPete: I messed up my permissions in /var and want to reinstall all packages that need them
[15:54] <harlemdavvey> mattgyver: i just wanted to do the opposite thing
[15:54] <harlemdavvey> mattgyver: how can i do now..?
[15:54] <SlimeyPete> knopf: hrm... it'll *probably* not break your system but if I were you I would make sure you have a recent backup of anything important first.
[15:55] <rohil> hey guys, how do we add compiz to system start up in 8.10 ? I can't find no "Desktop Effects" in System to do it like in earlier versions
[15:55] <Juaco> i can't synch correctly my time, thus i cannot do kerberos, and i can't login to the active directory network @ my work :(((
[15:55] <knopf> SlimeyPete: hm. I just ran it, everyting works fine, but the permissions of /var/backups did not get changed back
[15:55] <mattgyver83> harlemdavvey, sorry, you can delete the folders from the desktop, however if there are contents in it they will be deleted as well (unless its a symlink)
[15:55] <eights> henrixski: ok sorry, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=916690&highlight=how+to%3A+e17

[15:56] <marabout> !java
[15:56] <SlimeyPete> knopf: my /var/backups is owned by root, group root, permissions 755 so you could just do it manually using chown, chgrp and chmod
[15:56] <harlemdavvey> mattgyver83: okok.. but i guess that is possible to do the reverse process, isn't it?
[15:56] <eights> follow that, its slighly outdated but it will work with Intrepid?
[15:56] <skyred> evolution email closes automatically right after launch. Is there any way to fix it?
[15:56] <knopf> SlimeyPete: thanks
[15:56] <glade88> Juaco: thanks!
[15:56] <eights> henrixski: follow that, its slighly outdated but it will work with Intrepid
[15:56] <harlemdavvey> by reverse process i mean bookmarking some directories to show them into the PLACES button on the panel
[15:57] <talntid> skyred, find out why it's closing. try running it from the terminal and reading the output
[15:57] <hendrixski> eights, ah yeah.  I didn't see that one before.   that should work

[15:59] <hendrixski> marabout, or go to System --> administration --> Synaptic package manager   and select Java JRE from the list, and click OK

[16:02] <eights> kitche: cuz i fear no one! hahah . i dunno. its not my main lappy its a dev
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> hendrixski, Id rather you find the E17 channel and see what they suggest
[16:03] <hendrixski> Jack_Sparrow, they suggested pulling from SVN
[16:03] <hendrixski> and.... I *can* do that, just I'd rather have a package manager constantly update stuff for me
[16:04] <hendrixski> and not have to litter my main install with development libraries and stuff.... I usually do that on chroots of virtual machines.  Main install has to remain clean

[16:08] <Ronald_> I'm having trouble with my audio and I'm not sure what's going on.. Ubuntu says that my speakers are not muted and the volume is up but I'm not getting any sound.  I was getting sound up until a couple days ago but then I did some updates and everything stopped working.  I just moved over to linux from windows so I'm not sure what I should check.. Any help would be appreciated
[16:08] <knopf> SlimeyPete: can you please tell me the permissions of your /var/log/mysql* files?
[16:08] <knopf> SlimeyPete: I mean the owner
[16:09] <horstle> hi
[16:09] <mattgyver83> hwilde, never actually seen that before, it might still mean that the repo those files are on are outdated.  I would search for those files at a different repo and add them manually.
[16:09] <dayo_> /etc/init.d/slapd
[16:09] <dayo_> sorry
[16:09] <hwilde> mattgyver83, :/   I can't install anything tho.  even stuff that I know is there.
[16:09] <macman_> guys how do i add a path to my #PATH
[16:09] <macman_> err
[16:09] <macman_> $PATH
[16:10] <hwilde> macman_, export PATH=$PATH:/sbin/     would add sbin to the path
[16:10] <macman_> thanks
[16:10] <mattgyver83> hwilde, ive had issues with feisty repos as well, my issue was that the repos were outdated, im dont exactly remember what i had to do to fix though
[16:11] <idem> does anyone have a good apparmor profile for virtualbox 2.1?
[16:11] <mattgyver83> hwilde, Not that it makes too much of a difference but have you tryed synaptic to install?
[16:11] <dayo_> idem speaking of which, i need to fix my vbox tonite.

[16:12] <burkmat> Any obvious security risks running VNC outside with a strong password an on a non-default port?
[16:12] <hwilde> mattgyver83, it's remote so i can't synaptic
[16:12] <Ronald_> Does anybody know what might be causing me to get no sound and what I could try to fix it?  The volume is up and mute is off..
[16:13] <mattgyver83> hwilde, 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.45 80]    that tips me off that the repo no longer exists which was my issue
[16:13] <hwilde> mattgyver83, :(
[16:13] <idem> burkmat: someone might be keylogging on your client pc so be careful where you login from
[16:13] <idem> if the client pc is compromised then so might yours become comprimised with abuse of pass
[16:13] <hwilde> mattgyver83, I need php5-dev tho
[16:13] <mattgyver83> hwilde, i would go to getdeb.com and see if you can find a deb to download and install that way
[16:13] <mattgyver83> im sure its there
[16:13] <hwilde> mattgyver83, I found new ones, but I need some old version I dunno
[16:14] <lasivian> I need to benchmark/test my video to see how good (crappy) it is, what can I use? thanks
[16:14] <Adam_> One of the things I don't like about ubuntu, and I hope someone can tell me I'm wrong, is I can never tell where something installs via apt-get, and to remove it, I have pick through the folders manually. i.e. XBMC
[16:14] <hwilde> Adam_, apt-get remove <packagename>
[16:14] <Adam_> see I tried that, but it never seems to work
[16:14] <hwilde> Adam_, also if you need to find something you type "locate XBMC"
[16:15] <mattgyver83> Im on intrepid on this computer, my laptop im working on has feisty but i just goofed the network settings about 10 min ago so until i fix that i cant really be of much more service
[16:15] <hwilde> Adam_, anything installed via apt-get install can be removed via apt-get remove
[16:15] <Pici> Adam_: If you use the --purge option, configuration files will be removed from /etc/ , but packages will never remove anything from your home directory.
[16:15] <hwilde> mattgyver83, it's cool.
[16:15] <Adam_> hwilde, Pici: perfect, that's what I needed to know.
[16:16] <hwilde> Adam_, sudo updatedb   then    locate XBMC

[16:17] <mattgyver83> hwilde, got my network back up but it looks like it runs hardy.  go figure, do you think the live cd might have the php5-dev package?
[16:17] <hwilde> Adam_, yep but that is better than "picking thru directories" to find stuff.  use hte locate command
[16:18] <hwilde> mattgyver83, livecds dont have -devs
[16:18] <Adam_> hwilde: THAT'S TRUE
[16:18] <Adam_> caps sorry

[16:18] <hwilde> Swedenisimmense, set it as default in /boot/grub/menu.lst

[16:23] <ramiro> Hello. I'm trying to set up a cron job by reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto on 8.10, but I don't have a system->preferences->scheduled tasks. Do I have to apt-get it?
[16:24] <simplexio> ramiro: good old way is to do it from cmdline
[16:24] <marabout> hendrixski: couldnt do thehighlight (track-pad...) but am d/l the file using the apt-get method. I'm hoping this package will include the "Java Web Start" app. Thanks
[16:24] <Chewimal> so i just did a fresh install of ubuntu 8.1 and I've never used linux before. I was wondering if I could get some help on basic installation of programs
[16:24] <pozic> Is there a way to get rid of having to give the password everytime to see a crash report?
[16:25] <ramiro> simplexio, I'll probably end up doing it that way even if I do it by gui first, but where do I find the gui?
[16:25] <mattgyver83> Chewimal, if your new use Synaptic, System-Administration-Synaptic Package Manager
[16:25] <pozic> What's especially annnoying is that the reports are shown once in the panel and once in the original program.
[16:26] <simplexio> ramiro: no idea.. havent see one
[16:26] <pLr> Chewimal: Click on Application -> Add/Remove programs
[16:26] <pozic> There is no point in telling it to me twice.
[16:26] <Adam_> hwilde, pici: locate works great, thanks for the help guys, got itall.
[16:26] <Pici> mattgyver83, Chewimal: Applications > Add/Remove is probably better for the first time user
[16:26] <Chewimal> I've found that, but how do I add programs not listed there?
[16:26] <Pici> Chewimal: What are you looking for in particular?
[16:26] <Chewimal> I was going to install nicotine
[16:27] <marabout> !nicotine
[16:27] <hendrixski> marabout, it's been a while since I've tinkered with webstart... I think I had to just click on the "OK install webstart" when it comes up in a webpage
[16:27] <Chewimal> it's a linux soulseek
[16:27] <hendrixski> !anything
[16:27] <hendrixski> LOL
[16:27]  * hendrixski loves the bot
[16:27] <Pici> Chewimal: I'm not sure if its in Add/Remove, but it should be in the Synaptic Package manager.  Or just do: sudo apt-gt install nicotine    on a terminal.
[16:28] <Chewimal> thx
[16:28] <marabout> hendrixski:  LOL that was a good one
[16:28] <marabout> !nothing

[16:31] <Pici> !dualboot | EliteHunter
[16:31] <EliteHunter> ubottu: thanks
[16:31] <ASULutzy> gizmo: Sort of an odd problem, I would check dmesg for anything that could explain what is going on. Also iwconfig could help
[16:32] <gizmo> ASULutzy, wait
[16:32] <ASULutzy> gizmo: Sorry, I'm a bit busy, so it may be better to direct your questions at the channel instead  of me
[16:32] <Vittorio> someone of you uses ubuntu studio?
[16:32] <Adam_> lutz you at ASU?
[16:33] <ASULutzy> Adam_: It's offtopic for this channel, but I attended the honors college at Arizona State before I moved to MN

[16:36] <deany> engemec: with guest additions installed you can resize the windows itself
[16:36] <ASULutzy> engemec: Have you installed the guest add ons?
[16:37] <engemec> nops

[16:37] <deany> as you resize the window
[16:37] <Ivanhoe> Hello all. Can anyone help me change the terminal paramaters of the text only console in Server 8.10 (No GUI/X installed)? I would like 132x50 instead of 80x25.
[16:38] <deany> i cant get it to anything more than 1024, so thats what i do
[16:38] <mattgyver83> how do you connect to an Ad-Hoc network?
[16:40] <ASULutzy> Ivanhoe: I really ought to know how to do that, but you could try #ubuntu-server, the folks there are usually pretty pro at these things ;)
[16:40] <topsub> command line i would like to move everything inside a folder back a directory. how can i do this?
[16:41] <dominiques> cp
[16:41] <ASULutzy> topsub: moving everything from the current folder to the folder above it would be mv ./* ../
[16:41] <Ivanhoe> topsub mv * ./..
[16:42] <EliteHunter> What shud i have to download ubuntu 8.10 or 8.04LTS? I'm going to use Ubuntu 1st time.
[16:42] <Pici> EliteHunter: 8.10 is the latest, that would probably be the best for you.
[16:42] <PolitikerNEU> For me, ubuntu 8.04 was more stable than 8.10
[16:42] <ASULutzy> EliteHunter: Both should work, 8.04 will be supported for a longer amount of time than 8.04, and some things about 8.04 seem to be more stable, but 8.10 has better support for hardware, and is newer and shinier
[16:43] <EliteHunter> ok
[16:43] <EliteHunter> I m going to download 8.10
[16:43] <engemec> i did download the last virtualbox version, i did a virtual machine with fedora 10, but.... the maximun resolution that i got was 1024x768 and my notebook aceppt 1200x800. I read an article and sugested this command line: VBoxMachine controlvm "virtualmachinename" setvideomodehint "1200" "800" "32". Unhapiness, don't work. Many erros about comand line and parameters.
[16:44] <EliteHunter> is it is must to download  form ubuntu website. or i can use torrent?
[16:44] <PolitikerNEU> EliteHunter: Both is possible, the ubuntu website offers a torrent too
[16:44] <EliteHunter> really???
[16:44] <PolitikerNEU> engemec: Wow, I have only got 800x600 in Virtualbox :-(
[16:44] <EliteHunter> can pass the link?
[16:45] <gizmo> help me on how can i solve my wireless/wifi..
[16:45] <deany> PolitikerNEU: with guest additions installed?  soemthings wrong there.
[16:45] <Pici> EliteHunter: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt
[16:45] <PolitikerNEU> 32bit: http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
[16:45] <EliteHunter> Pici: thanx
[16:45] <ASULutzy> engemec: Did you read what everyone wrote about installing the guest additions?
[16:45] <engemec> PolitikerNEU, :)
[16:45] <EliteHunter> PolitikerNEU: thanks to u also
[16:46] <ASULutzy> gizmo: You'll have better luck actually asking your question and explaining what you've done and when your problem happens, etc... Saying, "Wireless HELP" won't get any useful responses
[16:46] <ASULutzy> engemec: From the VBox menu, click Devices, and then install guest additions
[16:47] <engemec> ASULutzy, i'll search about the guest additions.
[16:47] <engemec> ASULutzy, i'll see it.
[16:47] <gizmo> ASULutzy, before i shut down my laptop..my wireless is ok..auto connect..then after i shut down..i on my laptop back..the wireless not auto connect..until now... i have to use my wired network to connect to internet..
[16:47] <gizmo> is that ok ?
[16:48] <morpheus> ciao a tutti
[16:49] <ASULutzy> gizmo: When the problem is happening, try opening a terminal and typing iwconfig and maybe also dmesg
[16:49] <ASULutzy> gizmo: The output from those could be useful
[16:49] <MOUD> Hey all
[16:49] <gizmo> i think you should see my dmesg ASULutzy
[16:49] <engemec> ASULutzy, nothing happens.
[16:49] <gizmo> i paste to your pm k
[16:49] <EliteHunter> Please tell me is ubuntu is support NTFS and FAT32 and FAT???
[16:50] <Ivanhoe> EliteHunter, Ubuntu can read and write to fat/fat32 and read ntfs ootb
[16:50] <ASULutzy> engemec: After you install the guest additions you have to go inside the guest OS and actually install them
[16:50] <ASULutzy> engemec: Clicking install guest additions just mounts the cd inside the VM OS
[16:50] <MOUD> I'm having a problem with my video card....
[16:50] <gizmo> ASULutzy, you see?
[16:50] <ASULutzy> !pm | gizmo
[16:51] <ASULutzy> !paste | gizmo
[16:51] <Pici> EliteHunter: However, you cannot install Ubuntu on to NTFS or FAT partitions.

[16:54] <cozmicharlie> can someone help with a screen resolution issue in my eeepc 701 with 8.10 loaded?  I have it connected to an external monitor and I want it to give me higher resolution than the stock eeepc.  When I go to menu>preferences>screen resolution it does not show any options higher than 720:400.  This monitor supports much higher resolutions.  Do I need to install nvidia drivers?
[16:55] <engemec> ASULutzy, thanks a lot.
[16:55] <ASULutzy> gizmo: Left click it, you should see a dropdown of available wireless networks. If you don't see that, do sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning inside a terminal and pastebin the output
[16:55] <engemec> ASULutzy, is working!
[16:56] <deany> EliteHunter: look at the guides for earlier versions too, they contain things not in newest, but still relevant.

I use a newer version of nvidia drivers then comes with Ubuntu and Ubuntu want to update the modaliases for it's version. Annoying to have the updater tell me constantly that there is something new when it's only the one I don't want.

[17:21] <SingAlong> HI all
[17:22] <cbassett> hey i installed ubuntu on my external hard drive (so i can easily removed to boot vista only) and well it didnt work out as planned. How do i uninstall ubuntu? and grub?
[17:22] <SingAlong> I am trying to install Xampp and I need permission to write to /opt. But the permission is read-only. I right-clicked to change the permission but it says only root can change the permission. how can I set the permission to read-write?
[17:23] <harlemdavvey> Pici: i  have every folder of the PLACES folder of my panel that's ended in the desktop, and i just want to know how i would solve this problem by re-putting every folder just like Photos, Documents, Desktop, ... in my PLACES folder as default.. can you help me?
[17:23] <martin__> cbassett,  if you install ubuntu on the external hard drive with grub and set the bios to boot to that hard drive first, it should work. you cn add vista to the grub menu
[17:23] <dayo_> SingAlong: tried LAMP, yet?
[17:23] <Pici> SingAlong: Is there a reason why you want to install a LAMP server with XAMPP instead of using the packages in the repositories?
[17:24] <Dravenm4> how do i make my repositories universal
[17:24] <SingAlong> dayo: I thought I could skip configuring php with apache httpd.conf etc if I install xampp
[17:24] <dayo_> SingAlong: sudo tasksel
[17:24] <dayo_> SingAlong: it's quite easy. give it a shot.
[17:24] <SingAlong> dayo_: ?
[17:25] <Pici> SingAlong: There is no configuration that you need to do for php with the Ubuntu method of installing LAMP
[17:25] <Pici> !lamp | SingAlong
[17:25] <cbassett> well if i dont have the external hooked up when i turn on the computer. grub will not start and it comes with error 21. plus if i do use grub... i want vista to be default and i dont want to have to have the EXT. HD hooked up to even boot
[17:25] <MOUD> Is there a good visual C++ software for ubuntu?
[17:25] <Pici> harlemdavvey: If you open a new folder and go to the Bookmarks menu, you can maintain the places menu entries from there.
[17:25] <harlemdavvey> Pici: i have to put the folders that are on my desktop back to the folder PLACES

[17:48] <JohnAnderson`> ubuntu_first_tim try looking through the menu items in the "System" dropdown menu on the taskbar
[17:48] <zc00gii> ubuntu_first_tim: there is no need, Ubuntu detects most drivers, and iirc there is none
[17:48] <zc00gii> cbassett: private message
[17:48] <JohnAnderson`> both preferences and admin has stuff that u might find in device manager on windows
[17:48] <Pici> JohnAnderson`: What panel icon?

[17:50] <Jack_Sparrow> JohnAnderson`, If you want to change the start bar "Ubuntu" icon, we dont support that effort
[17:50] <CoJaBo-Dell> jughead: I just got 4 of them, all came with the newest firmware already. Make sure yours are the ones affected before you flash them.
[17:50] <ubuntu_first_tim> JohnAnderson`: yeah, i couldn't find it htere
[17:50] <rubita_15> ola
[17:50] <JohnAnderson`> Jack_Sparrow dont see why not ubuntu is using the GNOME GUI.
[17:51] <JohnAnderson`> ubuntu_first_tim most devices are automatically set up tho
[17:51] <cbassett> well long story but here goes... i want ubuntu on my external hard drive so that i can boot ubuntu off it but without the external i want to boot vista straight and with the boot loader(whichever that will be... microsoft or grub) I want to have vista defaulted

[17:51] <JohnAnderson`> oh okay
[17:51] <Pici> JohnAnderson`: Those icons are changed within the icon theme.
[17:51] <Jack_Sparrow> roger_, ty
[17:51] <zc00gii> cbassett: having an OS on a external hard drive is very slow
[17:52] <ubuntu_first_tim> JohnAnderson`: i need to know the brand and model of my HDD
[17:52] <roger_> what i do, now when i type my pc speaker makes noise
[17:52] <JohnAnderson`> okay pici i'll see if i can find it
[17:52] <JohnAnderson`> ubuntu_first_tim open up ur computer and look at it

[17:53] <Jack_Sparrow> roger_, I changed the kubuntu start icon to the vista one as part of a whole theme for a presentation.. But only as a demo to win users
[17:53] <ubuntu_first_tim> i can't i need it without a reebot
[17:53] <roger_> Jack_Sparrow, yeah i did similar as a pun to windows users as well
[17:53] <ubuntu_first_tim> so there's no device manager?
[17:53] <jughead> CoJaBo-Dell, it's one of the ones affected; i cant remember the letters but the fimware number was 15
[17:53] <katena> HI
[17:53] <zc00gii> cbassett: it'll be VERY slow, and it'll probably require some hackery

[17:54] <Jack_Sparrow> dmi3on, You will at least need to have port forwarding on in that router..
[17:55] <katena> à ïî ðóññêè êòî-òî øàðèò?
[17:55] <katena> )))))
[17:55] <cbassett> well in that case i want to just uninstall ubuntu from ext hd and grub and install ubuntu on another hd(so when i want to use ubuntu i will put in the other hd)

[17:56] <Axz> Hi there, any idea if there are VGa drivers for ATI Radeon 4850?
[17:56] <JohnAnderson`> ty zc00gii
[17:56] <dmi3on> Jack_Sparrow, so i neew any way to change some settings on router ?
[17:56] <mani_> can any body tell me how to browse nokia phone by linux

[17:59] <Axz> vigo, yes
[17:59] <vigo> Okee dokee
[17:59] <zc00gii> JohnAnderson`: you can change it some to hav a custom logo, read the bash script and explore the folders, I used it for a Mac clone
[17:59] <Jack_Sparrow> dmi3on, Info on setting up port forwarding is router specific and you would need to research that for your hardware.  NOt hard, just hardware speciific instructions
[18:00] <Pici> !portforward > dmi3on

[18:02] <trippss> Pici, no matter where I am. I've traveled through 3 time zones and dozens of ISPs - same thing
[18:02] <majnoon> pici that why i use opendns
[18:02] <JohnAnderson`> damit i just found the solution to that guys prob who was asking how to find out the hd model #

[18:03] <jim_p> hello people
[18:03] <guest1001> hi
[18:04] <Guest13752> My ubuntu system begins to lock up after about 5 or 10 minutes and the caps lock begins to flash. I know that this has been somewhat spoken about, however this only started to occur after a software update.  Please help.  Thank you
[18:04] <jim_p> has anyone tried shiftfox? i gave it a shot today and i did not see the difference i expected. not to mention that it did not find the flash plugin
[18:04] <trippss> note no settings have changed whatsoever. my dual boot into winblows works fine so there's nothing wrong with the NIC(s)
[18:04] <JohnAnderson`> hey ubuntu_first_tim did u find out the answer yet
[18:04] <ubuntu_first_tim> hello
[18:05] <trippss> I can ping the IP addresses (used the IP for IRC to log on here)
[18:05] <jim_p> Guest13752, ubuntu 8.10? and ati? and fglrx?
[18:05] <Jerrr> tritium : When I install the 180, it doesnt give me full use of my monitor or its native resolution; how would I fix that?
[18:05] <Pici> trippss: Does `dig @208.67.222.222 google.com` return any results?
[18:05] <JohnAnderson`> hello ubuntu_first_tim
[18:05] <janelle> i tryed to get on my pc this morning and my mouse and keyboard were unresponsive and my screen of course was black due to power setting being turned on so i couldnt see if it was frozen or it was just my mouse or keyboard acting upany ideas as to what might have been the issue also is there a error log of sorts that i can look at?
[18:05] <soreau> Guest13752: This is called a kernel panic. Typically, it is caused by something in kernel space doing something it's not supposed to ie. a driver
[18:05] <VectorM> lo all.  i  have a huge problem right now, got a flight to catch in a couple horus and i need to get this display working.  im booting up the ubuntu live installer, it displays the ubuntu progress bar, but then shows nothing on my lcd monitor.  the lcd is a dell widescreen 19inch.  its optimum is 1440x900.  ive used this display to install ubuntu before
[18:05] <majnoon> tripps, look at http://www.opendns.com/
[18:05] <VectorM> trlalt- and ctrlalt+ do absolutly nothing too
[18:05] <ozehka> hello, i want to install a network printer over ipp. the problem is the verification. i can only type in a password, the username is set default to my ubuntu-username, but i need to use a different one for the printserver...
[18:05] <Guest13752> Can it be a problem with the wireless driver?
[18:05] <soreau> Guest13752: So which driver modules do you use for your hardware? Yes
[18:06] <VectorM> any thoughts on how i can change it?  apparently, even xrandr isnt working
[18:06] <dmi3on> Jack_Sparrow, i am not on local network
[18:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest13752, I have seen a couple of these that were network card related.  But I dont have any answers, merely an observation
[18:06] <soreau> Guest13752: It can definitely be a wifi driver
[18:06] <Guest13752> Also why would it only occur after the software update?
[18:06] <m0RrE> anoyone know if it's possible to get the gnome terminal to flash in the taskbar when hilighted in irssi?
[18:06] <trippss> Pici, yes it does
[18:06] <trippss> Pici, that's the opendns server right?
[18:07] <Jack_Sparrow> dmi3on, is your modem also a router? is ther a router at the other end of the remote setup?
[18:07] <Pici> trippss: yes.
[18:07] <Guest13752> It is an intel wireless card
[18:07] <trippss> Pici, ok using that server in /etc/resolv.conf by putting it in manually
[18:07] <bluej> when I run rsync to backup my home dir to an external usb drive, the system freezes completely about half way through... any ideas why?
[18:07] <Guest13752> I dont know anything more than that.  I am very new to Linux ( as long as it gets me away from Vista. I just want to learn)
[18:08] <soreau> Guest13752: It may be a different version of the kernel with the same driver, a different version of the driver with the same kernel or that both have been upgraded. If you feel comfortable doing so, you could get the source code and compile a later version of the wifi driver yourself
[18:08] <Ean> lvlefisto: Oh, thanks. -.- :P
[18:08] <dmi3on> Jack_Sparrow, at office is 16 computers connected to one router and ISP (no server)  at home i have ubuntu and linksys wireless router
[18:08] <VectorM> any idea why ctrl-alt-- doesnt mak the resolution lower, and why trying two monitors even, the x desktop will not appear
[18:08] <jim_p> has anyone tried shiftfox? i gave it a shot today and i did not see the difference i expected. not to mention that it did not find the flash plugin
[18:08] <trippss> Pici, is there a way to use those DNS servers even when connecting dhcp across the system?
[18:08] <Pici> trippss: If you add the line: prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222, 208.67.222.222;       to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf     you will not have to modify /etc/resolv.conf again.
[18:09] <trippss> Pici, ah excellent
[18:09] <soreau> Guest13752: But it is important to understand what exactly is causing this first. I recommend unloading the wifi driver as soon as you boot and use the pc for awhile to confirm this is in fact the problem
[18:09] <sri> I have a question on the unlock login keyring
[18:09] <Guest13752> I am not even close to building my own driver yet
[18:09] <sri> if you don't know your password and it's preventing you from using ssh, how do I reset the password/
[18:10] <epictetus> sudo passwd (username)
[18:10] <zleap> Guest13752, where are you from
[18:10] <hatter243> soreau, I had the same problem for a long time, I just flipped the power switch on my wifi card and I never saw that error again
[18:10] <Guest13752> Chicago
[18:10] <janelle> anyone have any guesses
[18:10] <Jerrr> Anyone know how to get a sound card not supported by asla working? Ubuntu reconizes it with aplay -l and lpsci
[18:10] <sri> epictetus: well it won't take my login password at all, the one that works with sudo.
[18:10] <soreau> hatter243: I'm not the one with the problem ;)
[18:10] <VectorM> any idea why ctrl-alt-- doesnt mak the resolution lower, and why trying two monitors even, the x desktop will not appear
[18:11] <Guest13752> I have literally only been running linux for about a month now
[18:11] <Guest13752> if tht
[18:11] <soreau> Guest13752: Ok, do you know how to use pastebin?
[18:11] <dmi3on> Jack_Sparrow, are you here yes on both sides there are routers
[18:12] <ld50> I ssh to an ubuntu machine, but I get "Connection reset by peer" after some minutes, it only happens when i'm running top, any idea?
[18:12] <a931bw> Народ!
[18:12] <a931bw> У меня Фильм Показывает Синим!
[18:12] <Pici> !ru | a931bw
[18:12] <Guest13752> not even close, sorry, it took me a long time just to get it installed correctly. I know that sounds weak and stupid but I am trying
[18:12] <a931bw> Sorr
[18:13] <a931bw> I'm watching
[18:13] <a931bw> Film
[18:13] <a931bw> But it Blue
[18:14] <jim_p> ld50, top? the process display app?
[18:14] <szonek> how can i run something on login?
[18:14] <szonek> console login
[18:14] <ld50> jim_p, yes
[18:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !startup
[18:15] <szonek> automatically of course
[18:15] <soreau> Guest13752: Alright, well you're at the right place but when you get help in a busy channel like this, you need to specify to whom you are talking so that they get notified just like I am using your nick to notify you
[18:15] <jim_p> szonek, run it with no de present?
[18:15] <szonek> Jack_Sparrow i want to run something on *console* login
[18:15] <jim_p> ld50, sorry mate, i dont know
[18:15] <szonek> jim_p de?
[18:15] <Jack_Sparrow> szonek, see !boot
[18:16] <jim_p> szonek, desktop enviroment
[18:16] <dmi3on> Jack_Sparrow, ?
[18:16] <szonek> jim_p yes
[18:16] <szonek> !boot
[18:16] <a1len_> Heya guys. I want to set up a server on a partition. Is this even possible, or do I need a dedicated machine or something for that?
[18:16] <Guest13752> I am sorry. I would be more than happy to apologize to everyone, in fact I do.  I am just trying to figure out what is wrong
[18:16] <szonek> i wan't to run fortune on login
[18:16] <Guest13752> strike that, what I am doing wrong or have done wrong
[18:17] <szonek> want*
[18:17] <Katangawise> Hi all! It's ok with VirtualBox! Thanks a lot to people who helped me! :))
[18:17] <soreau> Guest13752: So first, open a terminal (Apps>Accessories>Terminal) and run this command 'lspci' and pastebin the output. This will show which modules are loaded on your system and I can tell you which one to try and unload to narrow down the problem
[18:17] <Katangawise> jim_p, Hi, what's up! :)
[18:17] <soreau> ! pastebin | Guest13752
[18:17] <jim_p> Katangawise, hi mate. what did you do this time in vbox?
[18:17] <VectorM>  will ctrl-alt-backspace kill X?
[18:17] <jim_p> VectorM, it will restart it
[18:18] <dmi3on> for remote desktop what what is better ultraVNC NX or RealVNC i need vista serveer and ubuntu viewer
[18:18] <Katangawise> I need, Visual Studio... Run it in Vbox.. But couldn't open window to full screen.. After i read the manuals all clear! :)
[18:19] <jim_p> Katangawise, the vbox window?
[18:19] <Katangawise> jim_p, yep!
[18:19] <Katangawise> :)
[18:19] <janelle> does ubuntu have a error log i can acsess
[18:19] <jim_p> Katangawise, ctrl +f ?
[18:19] <VectorM> how do i kill x?
[18:20] <m0RrE> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[18:20] <Stormx2> VectorM, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[18:20] <jim_p> janelle, loads, depending on what app did the error
[18:20] <Stormx2> bach
[18:20] <Stormx2> bah*
[18:20] <epictetus> sri: how about just passwd with no arguments to reset the current user's passworD?
[18:20] <epictetus> it'll probably ask you for the old pw though
[18:20] <Katangawise> jim_p, but if you didn't install additions it doesn't works good..
[18:20] <jim_p> Katangawise, lol, true
[18:20] <epictetus> the only other way I know of to "fix" that is to boot into single user mode or init=/bin/bash, mount the filesystems by hand, then use passwd to reset them as root
[18:21] <Absolute0> I have a dual head setup and when adding things onto the panel on the second screen nothing happens.
[18:21] <cbassett1> who was helping me before my reboot?
[18:21] <jim_p> not me :P
[18:21] <|911> oi, quick question on belkin wireless, anyone familiar
[18:22] <janelle> jim_p, im trying to find out why either my keyboard and mouse froze or my system i tryed to get om my pc but my keyboard and mouse were unresponsive and my screen was black due to the powersaver settings so i couldnt see anything so i had to reboot
[18:22] <Katangawise> jim_p, Tell me please.. Could you help me with my wireless? Until now I didn't solve the problem...:(

[18:26] <VectorM> I cant get to a console
[18:26] <malibu> Does anyone know what the name of the python 2.6 package is???
[18:26] <Katangawise> jim_p, Thanks man!:) my connection is jumping from 10 to 72 %.. But another laptop of my friend gets full (98%) connection..
[18:26] <unop> VectorM, not even with CTRL+ALT+F1 ?
[18:26] <VectorM> ubuntu turns on, then the screen dies when x tries to load
[18:26] <dmi3on> at office vista is connected to a big router and ISP at home ubuntu to a small router and ISP
[18:26] <Jeruvy> malibu: 2.6 isn't in the official packages yet, just 2.5
[18:26] <VectorM> will ctrl+alt+f1 do it?
[18:26] <simsss> Hello all, I am quite new to the ubuntu system. Just installed version 8.10. I am experiencing extremely slow web browsing using firefox and opera. My line is fine and downloading works as supposed. Only the browsers are very slow. Anyone having clue here?
[18:26] <roger_> alt + f2, type in xterm
[18:26] <unop> VectorM, should do - try it
[18:26] <dmi3on> zleap, jim_p, I need to control vista (office) using ubuntu home at office vista is connected to a big router and ISP at home ubuntu to a small router and ISP
[18:27] <malibu> Jeruvy: Really?  Wasn't 2.6 released in, like, October?
[18:27] <jim_p> Katangawise, did you remove network manager as i (may have) suggested? is the module for your wireless loaded?
[18:27] <Jeruvy> malibu: so?
[18:28] <dmi3on> no help :(
[18:28] <jim_p> dmi3on, port forwarfing in the home pc
[18:28] <malibu> Jeruvy: So.. how long does it take to put a package on the repo?
[18:28] <zleap> ok
[18:28] <Pici> !latest | malibu
[18:28] <Jeruvy> malibu: great question for the maintainer :)
[18:28] <zleap> there are apps to connect to remote systems,  for that
[18:28] <Katangawise> jim_p, remove network manager? but i must have some maneger, no? Modules looks ok...
[18:28] <dmi3on> jim_p, at home i can do what ever i whant at work i dont whant change any settings in router
[18:29] <janelle> jim_p, do you want to see my xorg stuff i can pastebin it?
[18:29] <jim_p> oh! one at a time
[18:29] <|911> lol
[18:29] <malibu> ubottu: Oh is Python 2.6 not stable?  I just want it because it has features that I need
[18:29] <bugmanx2001> where can i configure (add/remove) virtual terminals.  (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+F1, F2, F3)
[18:29] <ASULutzy> jim_p: I'm not exactly a huge fan of network manager myself, but giving advice to uninstall it, you better be in it for the long haul after having someone remove it ;)
[18:29] <dmi3on> jim_p, now i am at work can you tell me what i need to install and set on vista computer please
[18:30] <jim_p> Katangawise, remove nm and install something else like network-config. and please pastebin your lspci -k
[18:30] <Jerrr> Anyone know how to get a sound card not supported by asla working? Ubuntu reconizes it with aplay -l and lpsci
[18:30] <Pici> malibu: ubottu is a bot.
[18:30] <jim_p> dmi3on, give me some time ok? is the vista pc the one that connects TO the other one?
[18:31] <|911> anyone belkin wireless g fd7050 install?? need the help, thx
[18:31] <Jeruvy> malibu: then you can 'manually' download it or wait until the maintainer releases an update.  btw ubottu is a bot.
[18:31] <jim_p> janelle, sure
[18:31] <chai> do i have to enable additional repositories (other than defaults) to get enlightenment desktop manager?
[18:31] <spydon> how can I convert .raw movie file to for example .ogg?
[18:31] <ahox> Hi, does anyone here have the LaCie Network space NAS drive running?
[18:31] <malibu> Pici: Yeah I don't get the whole bot thing
[18:31] <ahox> I want to know if it works with linux
[18:31] <jim_p> spydon, ffmpeg
[18:31] <Pici> malibu: it responds to triggers.
[18:31] <Pici> !hi | malibu
[18:31] <wassy121> Hello, I can't seem to get gconftool-2 to work properly.  It gives the error: $ gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/smb/command "nautilus \"%s\""
[18:31] <wassy121> Error setting value: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-yLG9aBSYAD: Connection refused)
[18:31] <malibu> ah
[18:31] <FloodBot1> wassy121: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:31] <Pici> malibu: 8.10 was released in October, if python 2.6 was also released then, then there is very little chance of it being included in the release.
[18:31] <wassy121> Any ideas?
[18:31] <dmi3on> jim_p, i have no idea how to do it :( what i want is to control vista using ubuntu take your time when you have a chance just PM me
[18:31] <dmi3on> thanks
[18:32] <spydon> jim_p, yeah, but with which parameters?
[18:32] <jim_p> spydon, install a gui then like avidemux
[18:32] <ASULutzy> Pici: Marginally off-topic, but what's ubottu written in? Perl? Python?
[18:32] <wassy121> Bah, it was only like 3 lines, I didn't mean to flood ;-)
[18:32] <janelle> jim_p, here you go http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m11b48949
[18:32] <malibu> pici: Oh is that how it works.
[18:32] <Pici> ASULutzy: Python. /msg ubottu info supybot and /msg ubottu botclone  for more info
[18:33] <Pici> malibu: Yes, we are not a rolling release like debian is.
[18:33] <ASULutzy> dmi3on: You'll need to enable remote desktop on the vista machine, then you can just use either remote desktop viewer or terminal server client in Ubuntu to connect to it. The vista machine, if behind a router, will need to have port forwarding setup properly. If this is not possible, there are solutions that work through port 80 that lots of companies use
[18:33] <hexilum> Is an anti-virus suite required in ubuntu 8.10?
[18:33] <spydon> jim_p, thx
[18:33] <malibu> Pici: well I guess i shouldn't develop for Python 2.6 then...
[18:33] <Pici> hexilum: No. Unless you are planning on serving files to windows users and want to add extra protection for them.
[18:33] <Jerrr> ASULutzy : RDC works on ubuntu?
[18:33] <jim_p> spydon, line 444 and below is full of errors
[18:34] <ASULutzy> hexilum: Not unless you are running say a mailserver that could pass stuff on to Windows
[18:34] <jim_p> damn
[18:34] <ASULutzy> Jerrr: Yes
[18:34] <hexilum> well what about if I'm running window applications with wine?
[18:34] <jim_p> janelle, line 444 and below is full of errors
[18:34] <Katangawise> jim_p, if i  remove the nm, i'll lost my connection.. Thats meen that i wouldn't install something else..Am i wrong?
[18:34] <dmi3on> ASULutzy, thx i am new to this stuff can you give me some links how to do or if you have time help me to set it up
[18:34] <ThatGuy_>  /server irc.dslextreme.com
[18:34] <jim_p> Katangawise, install it first and remove it afterwords
[18:34] <Jerrr> ASULutzy : Is that standard? Or do I have to install extra's?
[18:35] <Katangawise> jim_p, ok :))
[18:35] <wassy121> hexilum: wine applications don't have enough access to break things normally.
[18:35] <simsss> does anyone have a clue why web browsing in firefox and opera is so extremely slow in ubuntu 8.10
[18:35] <chai> hm... says enlightenment is in universe repositories... i have them enabled and updated, but get the "referred by another package" message. what am i missing?
[18:35] <wassy121> Jerrr: It is normally standard in the "internet" section.  If not, just search for "remote desktop" in add/remove progs.
[18:35] <hexilum> so the ClamAV  virus scanner is pointless?
[18:35] <roger_> hexilum, there is only around 1% of the world that uses linux, 99.9% of viruses targets windows operating systems
[18:36] <ASULutzy> dmi3on: On vista enabling remote desktop, I'm not too sure... Just google it, then connecting to the machine from ubuntu, just click applications ->accessories -> terminal server client (or remote desktop viewer) I'm not sure if terminal server client is installed by default, I think it'd be sudo apt-get install tsclient
[18:36] <hexilum> k
[18:36] <etb> how can i extend my ext3 partition
[18:36] <dmi3on> ASULutzy, OK
[18:36] <Jerrr> wassy121 : Sweet Thanks, I am going to try this tonight. I would love to be able t owork on my Ubuntu machine from home.  You good with drivers? My video card driver only gives my monitor max resolution of 1024x768 yet its native resolution is 1440x900
[18:36] <ASULutzy> hexilum: wine will only have normal user permission, not root permission, unless you are silly and run it with sudo
[18:36] <axisys> how do I read non english font? this page is in bengali http://www.ittefaq.com
[18:37] <hexilum> k gotchya :)
[18:37] <hexilum> thanks
[18:37] <ASULutzy> dmi3on: I'm sorry that file path wasn't right. It's applications -> internet -> terminal server client
[18:37] <Jerrr> Is it like VNC? Where I would run a server on my ubuntu machine and dial in from windows?
[18:37] <wassy121> axisys: the webpage is broken, not the browser.  They have some custom "IE-only" i18n hax in place.
[18:38] <ASULutzy> Jerrr: Er, he's doing it the other way. Connecting to a Windows machine from an Ubuntu machine. If you wanted to connect to an Ubuntu machine from a windows machine and do it graphically, I don't know what you'd have to do, setup a VNC server I'm guessing
[18:38] <wassy121> Jerrr: The app in ubuntu is for connecting to Windows machines via RDP.  If you want to connect from Windows -> ubuntu, you need to set up the VNC server.
[18:39] <ASULutzy> Jerrr: Although to be honest, if you are connecting to an Ubuntu or any other Linux machine, you can really do anything you need to do from the terminal, so I never bother with VNC, ssh is plenty :)
[18:39] <Jerrr> wassy121 : have you fooled around with FreeNX yet?
[18:39] <Jerrr> Yea, Im rather new still so GUI's are my friend :)
[18:39] <wassy121> axisys: for proper i18n handling: http://www.aljazeera.net/portal
[18:40] <wassy121> Jerrr: First I have heard of it.
[18:40] <axisys> wassy121: is there any workaround ?
[18:40] <axisys> i am using FF
[18:41] <Jerrr> Another question; my machine reconizes my sound card; when I type aplay -l its there, and lspci, its there. Yet I have no sound. When the machine starts up I hear something kick in yet there is no sound
[18:41] <wassy121> axisys: yes, contact the website author and tell them to learn how to program.
[18:41] <Jerrr> My onboard audio is not supported by alsa, is there a work around to get sound?
[18:41] <axisys> wassy121: lol
[18:41] <dimitars> i used router 1 week ago, but then i went straight to modem(i use adsl internet). Now i need to use the router aggain but i don't have internet when connect throught it
[18:41] <ASULutzy> Jerrr: Hearing something "kick in" is probably your BIOS POST'ing, that's from a little speaker on the motherboard, not from your regular speakers, if that's what you're talking about
[18:42] <Jerrr> ASULutzy it wasnt post, I know what post is :), it was like a vibration inside my headset, then a low low low humming noise, when I turn my machine off it goes away
[18:43] <etb> how can i extend my ext3 partition?
[18:43] <roger_> do you know what your onboard sound is
[18:43] <Jerrr> uhm, yea gimme a second
[18:43] <roger_> maybe ac97 drivers might get it to work
[18:43] <eseven73> !who | roger_
[18:43] <wassy121> etb: read manuals on resize2fs , it is dangerous, so be careful.
[18:43] <etb> wassy121: safe way?
[18:43] <ASULutzy> Jerrr: I'm not sure what you're going to do if onboard doesn't support alsa, I would say buy a pci sound card, heck a soundblaster live or something can't cost more than 20 bucks if that at a computer store. You could always try oss, but I doubt that has any better support, but maybe?
[18:44] <wassy121> etb: modifying the filesystem underneath existing data is always dangerous.
[18:44] <Jerrr> roger_ : ALC889A Audio
[18:46] <roger_> Jerrr, i believe that's same onboard i have and alsa uses ac97 drivers flawlessly
[18:46] <Jerrr> Really?!?
[18:46] <Jerrr> So your giving me hope!
[18:46] <Jerrr> Sahfuckingsweet.
[18:46] <roger_> Jerrr, i'm gonna double check
[18:46] <FloodBot1> Jerrr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:46] <wassy121> Jerrr: yeah, the onboard sound from most big vendors are pretty well supported.
[18:46] <ASULutzy> !language | Jerrr
[18:46] <Jerrr> roger_ : Im going to go check on something in the warehouse, please PM me with your findings, thanks!

[18:48] <wassy121> dimitars: not enough information.  Try using the network applet in your system tray to reconfigure your network.
[18:48] <wassy121> Can anyone else run 'gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename' as non-root user?  I get an error, wondering if it is just me.
[18:49] <ASULutzy> wassy121: /desktop?
[18:49] <Pici> wassy121: works for me.
[18:49] <dimitars> wassy121 how can i reconfigure my network througth that aplet. It's empty.
[18:49] <wassy121> pici: thanks, it must be due to the Hardy-Ibex upgrade or something.  Will investigate.
[18:50] <neosuki> how to check whether a package has already been installed or not in ubuntu using apt-get?
[18:50] <ASULutzy> wassy121: Yea works for me too, I guess I didn't get how the --get dealie worked ;)
[18:50] <wassy121> dimitars: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager
[18:51] <ASULutzy> neosuki: You can use apt-cache policy packageName

[18:55] <wassy121> dorgan: looks like ubuntu uses ufw.  Try 'man ufw' for more info (I don't know/use it).
[18:55] <predaeus> Hello, I have an application source here that I want to compile but pkg-config tells me on configure that a required library version is too old. Now I have compiled the latest svn version of the respective library, but I don't know how to point configure/pkg-config to the location of the (not-installed) new library version. Can anybody help me out please?
[18:55] <dorgan> ii put the rule in using iptables
[18:55] <dorgan> its ubuntu server BTW
[18:55] <earthmeLon> I don't think that was necessary for that situation, Pici
[18:55] <ubuntu> join ubuntu-fr
[18:55] <|911> lol @ anyone cmd
[18:56] <neosuki> how can i use vpn client?
[18:56] <wassy121> predaeus: you normally can't do it that way.  You have to install the updated library in most cases due to shared library linking.
[18:56] <ASULutzy> |911: Explain the problem you are having, what you have tried, etc. Simply saying need help with xyz isn't useful.
[18:57] <|911> just wondering if someone knows about wireless usb installations
[18:57] <wassy121> neosuki: sudo apt-get install vpnc , then read the manual about it.  I think network manager even has support for some VPNC stuff (not sure/don't use).
[18:57] <ASULutzy> neosuki: Network manager makes it pretty pain free, you have to apt-get install a certain package depending on what kind of VPN it is, but after that simple
[18:57] <|911> no internet on pc currently
[18:57] <SingAlong> I have some lib packages in .tar.gz format. How can I 'build' these stuff? How do I 'build'? Any tutorials?
[18:57] <|911> and tried ndis_wrapper
[18:57] <neosuki> ASULutzy: wassy121 I've installed tightvnc client
[18:58] <ASULutzy> |911: Did you even read the trigger?
[18:58] <predaeus> wassy121, ok thanks, I thought this could be the case. Thanks. Will try to install it without overwriting any older versions.
[18:58] <neosuki> the other end has installed vnc server
[18:58] <unop> !build
[18:58] <unop> SingAlong, ^^
[18:58] <|911> nope
[18:58] <ASULutzy> neosuki: vnc and vpn are different?
[18:58] <SingAlong> unop: Thank you.
[18:58] <dayo_> SingAlong no ubuntu packages for it?
[18:58] <VectorM> lo all
[18:58] <SingAlong> dayo_: nope!
[18:58] <VectorM> still nothing on my screen.
[18:58] <SingAlong> dayo_: its libfbml.tar.gz
[18:58] <dorgan> ahh iptables-save
[18:58] <dorgan> :)
[18:59] <neosuki> ASULutzy: I need to work with vnc only
[18:59] <VectorM> ctrl-alt-f1 still causes my screen to turn off and say res not supported
[18:59] <dayo_> SingAlong: ok. untar the file and look for a file called configure
[18:59] <ASULutzy> neosuki: Then why did you ask about vpn's? I'm confused :)
[18:59] <a1len> Can someone help me with a lamp on 8.10 desktop? Networking is confusing me a little.
[18:59] <neosuki> ASULutzy: Sorry for the confusion...
[18:59] <VectorM> i rebooted into recovery.  did xfix.  nothing.  rebooting into recovery, did root mode, configured new xorg.conf, nada.  nothing
[18:59] <wassy121> dorgan: Yeah, but iptables-save just gives it to stdio, and you have to set up your own boot-time init script or whatever to read it back in (iptables-restore).  ufw is similar in 'saving' the rules in /etc/ufw I think.
[19:00] <SingAlong> dayo_: it doesnt have such a file. it has files like build-all.py, Makefile etc
[19:00] <wassy121> VectorM: it may be a problem with your framebuffer (has nothing to do with X).
[19:00] <SingAlong> dayo_: Any idea how I can do this?
[19:00] <neosuki> ASULutzy: i've vnc client running whereas vnc server is running at the other end. I know the server's ip address
[19:00] <ASULutzy> SingAlong: cd into the directory and type make
[19:00] <dayo_> SingAlong: try perl Makefile.pl
[19:01] <neosuki> how can i connect to the vnc viewer, so tht i can see his desktop
[19:01] <ASULutzy> dayo_, SingAlong: .py is python, not perl.
[19:01] <Pici> SingAlong: The sofware should come with a README or INSTALL file, please look into that to see how to build it.
[19:01] <dayo_> ASULutzy: sorry, missed that it was a .py file
[19:01] <wassy121> VectorM: if you have bios settings regarding the display, you may want to fiddle with them a bit (especially if this is a laptop, which sometimes has framebuffer issues).
[19:02] <dayo_> SingAlong: yes, Pici is right. check the README and/or INSTALL for any possible prerequisites
[19:02] <wassy121> neosuki: vncviewer is the command-line program, I am not sure if there is a gui-based vnc client program shipped with ubuntu.
[19:03] <ASULutzy> wassy121, neosuki: tsclient can do it, (not sure if it's included in ubuntu by default)
[19:03] <wassy121> neosuki: yes, tsclient is what I was searching for.  add/remove programs, should be in universe repo.
[19:03] <raff> intel wi-fi drivers works fine on intrepid?
[19:03] <ASULutzy> neosuki: try sudo apt-get install tsclient, then go to applications -> internet -> terminal server client, and configuring it from there
[19:04] <neosuki> wassy121: though my confusion is, in the first place will the vnc work in ordinary internet connection, with an assumption having dhcp in mind
[19:04] <wassy121> neosuki: yes, vnc works over normal internet.
[19:04] <ASULutzy> neosuki: All VNC does is forward the display from one machine to another
[19:04] <neosuki> ASULutzy: wassy121 tsclient work with vncserver also?
[19:05] <ASULutzy> neosuki: Yes
[19:05] <legate> I I have a problem with ALSA. For some reason it does not work. I already restarted and it did not help. Any hints?
[19:05] <wassy121> neosuki: tsclient is a front-end for vncclient.
[19:05] <computer13137> Hello
[19:05] <ASULutzy> Sometimes I wish vnc would just go away, ssh is still and always will be, where it's at ;)
[19:05] <neosuki> ASULutzy: thanks dude!
[19:05] <oCean_> ASULutzy: neosuki, in Applications > Internet, there is also "remote desktop viewer", which is actually Vinagre, the vnc client for gnome
[19:05] <dayo_> hi
[19:05] <neosuki> wassy121: thanks dude!
[19:05] <computer13137> I have the EXPI9301CTBLK Intel network card (PCI Express x1) and Ubuntu does not recognize the card.  What can I do to install this card?
[19:05] <syva> hey there guys
[19:05] <ASULutzy> neosuki, oCean_: Yes, this too, I just have some weird bias for tsclient, don't really know why :)
[19:06] <ASULutzy> neosuki: I would also try what oCean_ recommended
[19:06] <syva> can i make it so that shift+spacebar or caps key on + spacebar gives me an underscore
[19:06] <PeteM> Hi, ubuntu quite often freezes up the windows when I have many programs running, they get greyed out for 5-20 seconds, is it lack of RAM or the CPU that is overloaded?
[19:06] <SingAlong> dayo_: thank you!
[19:06] <mama58> ciao a tutti
[19:07] <mama58> !list
[19:07] <dayo_> SingAlong: u're welcome :-)
[19:07] <neosuki> ASULutzy: wht kind of server does the other end should run for me to see the desktop?
[19:07] <yellabs> hello there
[19:07] <syva> anyone
[19:07] <yellabs> how many ram can an 32 bit ubuntu adress? 4gb + ?
[19:07] <syva> ?
[19:08] <ASULutzy> neosuki: Well, a VNC server. Alternatively, if they're running Windows, they can run remote desktop, and tsclient can be used to connect to that using RDP
[19:08] <SuSEno> i run it just 256MB
[19:08] <yellabs> heh
[19:08] <VectorM> wassy121: you say it maybe my framebuffer.  i am able to see the boot text and stuff
[19:08] <wassy121> syva: yes, but it is pretty complicated.  You have to work with xmodmap and xev and whatnot.
[19:08] <computer13137> Anyone?
[19:08] <VectorM> would that matter
[19:08] <neosuki> ASULutzy: thanks! but will port# matters?
[19:08] <wassy121> VectorM: right, but once it loads the framebuffer and gives the boot splash (if you have it set up), then it blacks out, right?
[19:08] <VectorM> yes
[19:08] <syva> wassy121: hmm okay, i;m suprised its not easier, seems like a pretty useful mapping
[19:09] <VectorM> wassy121: yes.
[19:09] <ASULutzy> yellabs: It's a bit tricky, but as a rule, if you're going to use more than 3 GB, I'd use 64, 32 can handle more with pae, but there's no real reason not to use 64, flash can be tricky, but is manageable
[19:09] <wassy121> syva: it is a custom mapping, thus you have to write your own mapping file, and get that loaded properly.  I haven't done it in years.
[19:09] <yellabs> ASULutzy , thanks, very helpfull..
[19:10] <wassy121> VectorM: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer - boot option "vga=normal" may solve it.
[19:10] <ASULutzy> yellabs: for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
[19:10] <erUSUL> yellabs: 4GB minus some ram depending on pci devices and bios configuration
[19:10] <wassy121> VectorM: or maybe 'nofb'.
[19:11] <Pici> !nickspam > `Jimmy
[19:12] <neosuki> wassy121: ASULutzy: what should be the port# in case of vnc server is running at the other end, port# in case of rdp?
[19:12] <VectorM> wassy121: rying that now
[19:12] <yellabs> ok , i see
[19:14] <MrWindex> hi
[19:14] <MrWindex> all
[19:14] <daredevilthere> Does anyone knw how can i beautify my tty console just as it is done it backtrack?
[19:14] <Bodsda> what is the name of intrepids default theme?
[19:14] <oCean_> neosuki: when starting the vncserver "at the other and" you'll have to specify a display number
[19:15] <oCean_> neosuki: this can be 1,2,3 ... and so on
[19:15] <neosuki> oCean_: fine. but port# doesn't matter?
[19:15] <oCean_> neosuki: well no. But the difference is that you (as user1) can connect to display 1, while user2 can connect to display 2, each using your own desktop
[19:16] <oCean_> neosuki: rdp, is default port 3389 i think
[19:16] <neosuki> oCean_: thanks for clarifying!
[19:17] <neosuki> well i'm having one another prob in ubuntu regarding sound

[19:30] <Mean-Machine> neosuki, give it a go
[19:30] <oCean_> Daremonai: yes. But it's not exactly what you want ("run in terminal")?
[19:30] <Daremonai> I want something like gnome-terminal -command=.... but for xterm.

[19:30] <Jampiter> Hi
[19:30] <Jampiter> How can I password-protect a file?
[19:30] <oCean_> keystr0k: after adding the drive, use "dmesg" command and see output.. might be helpful hints there
[19:31] <hyperb0lix> Jampiter: You could try encrypting it with GnuPG (GNU's PGP implementation)
[19:32] <zsakr> ikonia!
[19:32] <Jampiter> hyperb0lix: How would I do that?
[19:32] <neosuki> Mean-Machine: no it's not working
[19:32] <hyperb0lix> Jampiter: You could start with the man page of gpg; you'll need to generate a key first
[19:32] <apimpl> please..anyone...I really need an answer..

[19:33] <gonewestcoast> cbassett: Just don't wiggle the drive when it's running.
[19:33] <oCean_> keystr0k: ah, the system found the drive, and it is attached as /dev/sdc (see output)
[19:34] <stefg> cbassett: basically yes, but that depends mostly on the bios of the host machine
[19:34] <neosuki> for instance, if i'm using skype, and in the mean time if i wish to listen to song, i can't :(
[19:34] <Jack_Sparrow> a931bw, See if this works and if not we can work on yours..  http://paste.ubuntu.com/105271/
[19:34] <oCean_> keystr0k: knowing that, you should be able to mount the drive like "mount /dev/sdc1 /mountpoint"

[19:36] <Aeonis> I just upgraded to 8.10 and I forgot how I was able to get my Video card to read better...that is vague.
[19:36] <Flannel> apimpl: It's entirely likely that no one in this channel has any idea whether you'd be able to develop iPhone apps on Ubuntu.  I'm sure there are better places you can ask to figure that out (Try asking them if its possible to develop on linux)
[19:36] <rydgel> is there a way to disable PAE support from ubuntu server ?
[19:36] <rydgel> because I can't boot

[19:37] <Aeonis> I was able to enable desktop effects and such, but I had to get a driver for my video card.

[19:37] <Aeonis> Before, I thought I went to System > Hardware Drivers, but it says that there are no propiortary drivers on the computer.

[19:38] <jafn> hi all
[19:38] <hyperb0lix> Hello
[19:38] <jafn> how can i see my floppy disk using ubuntu?
[19:38] <apimpl> Flannel, where  ? )
[19:38] <logophobia> hi, i just bought a new 1T HD for my pc. I want to use it as a sort-of multimedia share accessible by both my ubuntu and windows partition. Any recommendations on how to format it? ntfs? ext3? (it has a windows driver right?) other options?
[19:38] <Jack_Sparrow> a931bw, You should know by now to use the pastebin and not paste into the channel
[19:38] <dunas> How has Ubuntu progressed compared to, say, this time last year?
[19:38] <Flannel> a931bw, Jack_Sparrow: It's just old-releaeses.ubuntu.com, no archive.
[19:38] <apimpl> Flannel, I'm expecting that Mac developers don't know too )

[19:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Flannel, can you edit that for him
[19:39] <Flannel> apimpl: I'd start with whatever iphone development forums you have at your disposal.
[19:39] <rydgel> so guys ? My laptop doesn't support PAE so I can do nothing ?
[19:39] <jafn> umm but I have tried to do that
[19:39] <cbassett> how do I make it where without my external hard drive hooked up... it will boot vista as if i never installed ubuntu. but with the ext hd hooked up... i will have the choice of ubuntu or vista(with vista being default if I do not change anything)
[19:39] <xang> jafn: And?
[19:39] <jafn> but it says the device does not exist
[19:39] <oCean_> keystr0k: can you try "sudo fdisk /dev/sdc" ? Trying to list partitions on that disk. Howver, since it just said "no medium found" ... not sure

[19:39] <apimpl> Flannel, ok... thanks...

[19:42] <unop> Daremonai, check wmctrl and xprop out -- you'd have to write a startup script using these two.
[19:42] <stefg> a931bw: you don't want to upgrade thru 3 versions, espicially if there's gutsy involved... just accept you need a fresh install, you can save and restore your settings
[19:42] <Daremonai> unop, thanks
[19:42] <dayo_> oCean_: do u have another one u could try?
[19:42] <a931bw> i'm can't fresh install!

[19:49] <Arsanerit> Hi, I'm helping my friend to install ubuntu. She is not very good with computers and I'm not physically near her. She's not good at English so I'm not sure if I understand her well.
[19:49] <dayo_> a931bw: tried installing libqt4-core, yet?
[19:50] <a931bw> How?
[19:50] <Arsanerit> She is currently using Windows. I think she downloaded ubuntu and burnt it to a CD. She says that when she puts the CD in her drive she gets a question "if she wants to run by windows". I don't recognise that because I don't know what happens if you put a ubuntu CD in a drive while running Windows.
[19:50] <a931bw> i think it 8.** too
[19:50] <dayo_> a931bw: sudo aptitude install libqt4-core

[19:51] <stefg> dayo_: ... a931bw can't install *anything* anymore.. feisty is dead, repos closed,

[19:51] <ActionParsnip> Dishmon: for home users all usb wifi is pretty much equal

Once I ssh to the server is there a way to bring that process to the "foreground" (so to speak) so I can enter in the passphrase?
[19:54] <dayo_> a931bw: do u have an external hard disk?
[19:55] <a931bw> no
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> Dishmon: you need to compile the driver for whatever system you are using, the driver makes the device work
[19:55] <a931bw> Only one

[20:05] <betterhands> itunes format (not protected).  i decided to install banshee after installing ubuntu for the first time very recently.  i had a large itunes library backed up, and internet searches made it sound like banshee was one of the best apps to play .m4a's.  perhaps i misunderstood.
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> qqx: bad plugin probably
[20:06] <qqx> it crashes

[20:06] <Arelis> I'm in the Ubuntu liveCD on a Mac Mini. It's working fine except for some minor issues like the Apple keyboard not working the way it's supposed to. How do i try out ubuntu more permanently by installing it without damaging anything and without using front row (dual boot)?
[20:06] <qqx> ActionParsnip, what is the solution?

[20:14] <Drknezzz> qqx: you dont "open" a bin, you run it
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> qqx: chmod +x <binfile>; ./<bin file>
[20:14] <Drknezzz> Can anyone help me with this Ubuntu on USB syslinux issue?
[20:14] <perillux> ActionParsnip: no thats the problem.  It doesn't ask for a password, so i can't connect.
[20:14] <perillux> ActionParsnip: I think I could connect if I could enter the password though
[20:15] <Flannel> a931bw: Right.  That's not the same as the previous file you showed us.  Alright, open that file for writing (gksu "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list") and paste in the following:

[20:17] <a931bw> Only one of 3
[20:17] <a931bw> 2 killer
[20:17] <major> exit
[20:17] <perillux> ActionParsnip: when you connect with a windows machine does it ask you to enter a password?
[20:17] <Drknezzz> exacube: Idk how to really filter it, but lsmod should help
[20:18] <CydeWeys> I'm looking to buy a graphics card for my Ubuntu desktop; anyone happen to know which of ATI/Nvidia has better Linux support these days?
[20:18] <Flannel> a931bw: Please follow instructions.
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> perillux: yeah
[20:18] <exacube> um, im not sure which of those modules are used for my wireless though.. :(
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> perillux: i'd try rerunning: sudo smbpasswd remote
[20:18] <perillux> ActionParsnip: I remember setting up samba a while back and I was having this same problem.  Then I removed the user and allowed anyone to connect without password and it worked!  I don't know why my windows machines won't let me enter one...
[20:18] <Drknezzz> exacube: maybe madwifi
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> perillux: make sure the password matches that of the password you set for remote, you can make sure by running: sudo passwd remote
[20:19] <exacube> there's iwlagn mac80211 cfg80211 led_class rfkill
[20:19] <perillux> ActionParsnip: it does
[20:19] <Vash^2> I just finished installing ubuntu eee on my SDHC card, but every time I boot into it, ubuntu loads up the "Install Ubuntu" page and I have to close it every time. How can I keep that page from popping up on startup?

[20:19] <edwin1> ~kernel | edwin
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> perillux: its worth running them to be double sure
[20:19] <edwin1> !kernel | edwin1
[20:19] <perillux> ActionParsnip: I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with samba.  It's my windows machines.  Of course I can't connect, because I've never entered the "remote" password on my windows box.
[20:20] <exacube> and i don't have madwifi installed..
[20:20] <perillux> ActionParsnip: It won't ask me for the password, I've never entered one.
[20:20] <perillux> ActionParsnip: it just keeps saying I don't have permission
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> perillux: have you tried mapping a network drive to the share and manually entering the username and password there?
[20:20] <perillux> ActionParsnip: how?
[20:21] <Gerinych> hi, im trying to install nvidia drivers for my [nvidia geforce 7600gt] video card but when i try to install the ones in [restricted drivers] and restart, the screen goes to 800x600 after booting and wants me to reconfigure the driver or boot in low-graphics mode
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> perillux: right click my computer -> map network drive (thats in xp, i have no idea in vista)
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> perillux: you can then specify a drive letter but there is also an option to connect as a different user
[20:21] <perillux> ActionParsnip: ok i try it, i have xp
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> perillux: you can stab in the credentials there

[20:22] <ActionParsnip> perillux: plus, it wil map the drive if the connection can be made
[20:22] <Flannel> a931bw: Right.  Now follow the rest of those instructions to upgrade.
[20:22] <Joker_-_> enter \\IP\share in any "explorer" windows (including recycle bin, internet explorer...) and it'll ask you for login/password
[20:22] <perillux> ActionParsnip: it's not working
[20:23] <z4boy3> Does anyone know the market share of Ubuntu?
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> perillux: did you find the password bit though?
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> !ot | z4boy3
[20:23] <z4boy3> ok sorry
[20:23] <perillux> ActionParsnip: it pisses me off that every single tutorial online says something different.  They all have a different way of doing it so I can't figure out what my problem is
[20:23] <perillux> ActionParsnip: yes I did the password, so it must be a problem with samba then
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> perillux: theres always more than one way to skin a cat
[20:23] <Area52> what was the command to install pastebin on ubuntu
[20:24] <tritium> Area52: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> Area52: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[20:24] <Flannel> z4boy3: #ubuntu-offtopic is the place for those sorts of questions
[20:24] <Area52> thank you
[20:24] <a931bw> Linux have somethink like deamon-tools in windows?
[20:24] <perillux> ActionParsnip: can you link me to one that actually works?  preferable one that is designed for Intrepid?
[20:24] <computer13137> Hey
[20:24] <Joker_-_> ActionParsnip, perillux: you are absolutely piositive that the user is added to samba (smbpasswd) ?
[20:24] <Slart> a931bw: there isn't really a need for it.. you can mount isos if you want
[20:24] <silviacd> ----------------------

[20:25] <a931bw> i'm need to download new iso?
[20:25] <computer13137> Have any of you heard of something called "bwinit" or "bwadd"?  I want to use it to QoS my network, and I can't seem to find ANYTHING on how to install these programs.
[20:25] <Vash^2> I just finished installing ubuntu eee on my SDHC card, but every time I boot into it, ubuntu loads up the "Install Ubuntu" page and I have to close it every time. How can I keep that page from popping up on startup?
[20:25] <Slart> a931bw: but the drm simulation stuff isn't really useful..
[20:25] <Flannel> a931bw: No.  You need to follow the instructions on the upgrade page.
[20:25] <Daremonai> unop, the programs you suggested don't seem to be able to move programs to different workspaces.
[20:26] <Joker_-_> perillux: if so, could you pastebin your smb.conf file?
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> Vash^2: change you primry boot device to the SDHC card instead of cd
[20:26] <Joker_-_> perillux: I honestly doubt that it's a windows problem.
[20:26] <perillux> Joker_-_: I just added remote again, ya I'm sure I had it right
[20:26] <DeannaT2> a931bw, i think better would be a new installation with an iso than upgrade over more steps

[20:29] <fosco_> Lokiase: sorry, i don't

[20:30] <dennda> Flannel: Indeed. Thanks
[20:30] <Vash^2> ActionParsnip: I used the program referenced on the ubuntu eee site to extract the ubuntu cd to the usb stick.
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> perillux: those lines may have been confusing samba

[20:32] <sylvain> Flannel, because I've tried and meet lots of problem with the offcial way
[20:32] <perillux> Joker_-_: should I just comment it out?
[20:32] <sylvain> And it's seems I'm not alone
[20:32] <Joker_-_> perillux: no, if you comment it out, from what I see, samba wont have anything to share

[20:41] <jhonnyboy> Hello everyone i installed ubuntu the other day. My wireless worked for 2 days at very low connection then it has suddenly stopped working. What do you guys recommend i do to fix this?
[20:41] <perillux> Joker_-_: can I remove password encryption then and just allow any connection?
[20:41] <Joker_-_> perillux: have you ever considered a web config tool like swat? (Samba Web Administration Tool)<
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> tritium: it needs a kernel module from what i can see
[20:41] <Lokiase> tritium: I did, but i changed some things with the terminal... when I now restore everything in MCC it doenst work
[20:41] <Area52> answer me this .. is the xorg.conf file where all the info on the video devices held ?
[20:41] <Gerinych> i trying to install nvidia-glx-180 but after a restart the screen goes to 800x600, gives an error (no supported devices) and says that i have to reconfigure it somehow
[20:41] <tritium> ActionParsnip: ah, is that so?>
[20:42] <jhonnyboy> Hello everyone i installed ubuntu the other day. My wireless worked for 2 days at very low connection then it has suddenly stopped working. What do you guys recommend i do to fix this?
[20:42] <paul68> Slart: ok and what would the command be to reduce all images from directory x to 800x640?
[20:42] <Joker_-_> perillux: as I dont know exactly what could be the problem you get nor how to fix it, I'd suggest starting over a new config file with a tool like swat. It's not "perfect" but it delivers.
[20:42] <jhonnyboy> can anyone help please??
[20:42] <eitreach> jrib: no such dir, it says.
[20:42] <Slart> Area52: there's not so much info about devices in xorg.conf.. it's the settings for X.. and these days it's mostly autodetected anyways
[20:42] <avis> synatpic package manager doesn't seem to accept my sudo user password.  i'm not sure why not either, or how to set it to my sudo password.  any ideas ?
[20:42] <wiseman1> oh hay
[20:43] <jhonnyboy> I installed ubuntu the other day. My wireless worked for 2 days at very low connection then it has suddenly stopped working. What do you guys recommend i do to fix this?
[20:43] <jhonnyboy> please i need some help
[20:43] <perillux> Joker_-_: how could I take away passwords and allow anyone to connect?
[20:43] <Slart> paul68: not sure.. it might be the "convert" command.. there are good documentation on their site
[20:43] <tritium> avis: sudo uses your user's password
[20:43] <Area52> thank you
[20:43] <Joker_-_> perillux: guest
[20:43] <Joker_-_> perillux: you'd need to enable guests, giving em access to the share
[20:44] <Insanelogger>  Can someone help me out with gnome-nettool 2.22.0?
[20:44] <wiseman1> jhonnyboy: I had a similar problem
[20:44] <avis> tritium, i know that buy synaptic package manager wont accept my sudo password
[20:44] <Slart> paul68: here's some info on the convert command http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php
[20:44] <Gerinych> jhonnyboy: try moving closer to the router, my router's far away from my desktop, so i have to wobble the antenna to get it to connect
[20:44] <Joker_-_> perillux: something like "guest ok = yes"
[20:44] <paul68> Slart: thanks
[20:44] <tritium> avis: there is no "sudo password".  Again, it is your *user's* password.
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> tritium: says on those links but ive never done it mysefl
[20:44] <Joker_-_> perillux: without the quotes, of course
[20:44] <tritium> ActionParsnip: I'll check the scrollback
[20:45] <TheFunkbomb> I'm trying to allow gmail's port in the Ubuntu firewall.  Any help?
[20:45] <avis> tritium, thanks for clearing that up.  now, any idea on how to get synapic to accept my *user* password ?
[20:45] <jrib> eitreach: pastebin the contents of the "about:plugins" page in firefox
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> avis: your sudo apssword is the same password you use to login
[20:45] <doolph> hello
[20:45] <eitreach> jrib: http://pastebin.com/m1b2be6f5
[20:45] <tritium> avis: are you able to run any commands with sudo?
[20:46] <avis> i realize that.  i know how to use sudo.  synaptic package manager is what isn't accepting my *user* password (which is is a sudoer)
[20:46] <avis> yes i sure can from command line
[20:46] <Lokiase> tritium: no solution? :s
[20:46] <doolph> anyone can help me with this screen problem?, I have dual monitor working, but how can I set my 2nd monitor as main monitor?
[20:46] <perillux> Joker_-_: thank you for all of your help
[20:46] <jrib> eitreach: aptitude search '~i~nswfdec'
[20:46] <Joker_-_> perillux: it worked?
[20:46] <Russian> hello guys what is the IRC support channel?
[20:46] <perillux> Joker_-_: no lol, but still, I appreciate it

[20:47] <KenBW2> Russian: you're there
[20:47] <Russian> Slart: for irc
[20:47] <Slart> Russian: #freenode for the irc server
[20:47] <doolph> anyone can help me with this screen problem?, I have dual monitor working, but how can I set my 2nd monitor as main monitor?
[20:47] <QWonder> networkmanager is gay
[20:47] <Russian> Slart: thank you!
[20:47] <QWonder> i don't need any help
[20:47] <QWonder> just wanted to you everyone know that
[20:47] <Slart> QWonder: there's no reason to use language like that
[20:47] <guest1001> hi
[20:47] <tritium> Lokiase: I'm reading the URLs ActionParsnip gave you since you're too lazy to.
[20:48] <Insanelogger>  Can someone help me out with gnome-nettool 2.22.0?
[20:48] <TheFunkbomb> can anyone help me configure the Ubuntu firewall?
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> !firewall | TheFunkbomb
[20:48] <eitreach> jrib: nothing happens.
[20:48] <tritium> QWonder: don't do that again
[20:48] <Lokiase> tritium: no, i just dont understand, terminal and all is new for me :s
[20:48] <Absolute0> Which file do I modify to choose which daemons to start on boot?
[20:48] <noobem> hello all. quick question: tar.gz packages, where are they supposed to be installed? /usr/somehwere, /opt/..?
[20:48] <TheFunkbomb> thanks ActionParsnip
[20:48] <tritium> Lokiase: please read http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATI_Remote_Wonder
[20:48] <Slart> !boot | Absolute0
[20:48] <Whitor> Hi, I'm having audio problems with a specific application... I want to know where my audio hardware is sitting so I can address it manually right now, the app points to also hw:0,0 ... how do I confirm or deny this is the correct hw adress ?
[20:48] <jrib> eitreach: erm, ok: locate libswfdecmozilla.so
[20:49] <Lokiase> tritium: that link is the prob, I followed it, now it doesnt work anymore
[20:49] <Slart> Whitor: take a look at the output from "cat /proc/asound/cards"
[20:49] <eitreach> jrib: still nothing.
[20:49] <StuckMojo> damn. ubottu doesn't know anything about ext4
[20:49] <noobem> also, second question: how do i sudo in the filemanager?
[20:49] <tritium> StuckMojo: it's not supported until the next release anyway.
[20:49] <jrib> eitreach: sudo updatedb && locate libswfdecmozilla.so
[20:49] <Whitor> ok Slart checking now
[20:50] <StuckMojo> tritium: yeah but usually someone will come up with a nice way to shoehorn it into whatever is current
[20:50] <tritium> avis: I asked you if you could run any commands with sudo...
[20:50] <jrib> noobem: you shouldn't need to
[20:50] <Slart> Whitor: I think that tells you what the first number should be
[20:50] <noobem> jrib: ?
[20:50] <neosuki> \quit good nite guys!
[20:50] <jrib> noobem: you shouldn't need to sudo the file manager
[20:50] <avis> tritium, yes i sure can from command line
[20:50] <eitreach> jrib: wait, the previous one was good. here. http://pastebin.com/d39e68aee
[20:51] <tritium> avis: then there should be no reason you can't run synaptic
[20:51] <Whitor> Slart, ok... yeah, it says 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel   followed by  HDA Intel at 0xfe220000 irq 17
[20:51] <noobem> jrib: when i try to copy files to /opt it says access denied
[20:51] <Elmnas> hi how do I start im-sensors I downloaded it
[20:51] <lens247> anyone know if there r any other  options  after getting  this result from force command?  mount: special device /dev/sdal does not exist
[20:51] <Joker_-_> perillux: well, thanks but google on swat
[20:51] <jrib> noobem: what are you copying there?
[20:51] <jrib> eitreach: dpkg -S /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.so
[20:51] <Slart> Whitor: so the first number should be 0.. since that is the card number iirc
[20:51] <Joker_-_> perillux: and sorry I couldnt be of much help ;)
[20:51] <noobem> jrib: eclipse
[20:52] <tritium> Lokiase: then try undoing what you did, step by step
[20:52] <Slart> Whitor: I think the second one is which pcm you want to use..
[20:52] <jrib> noobem: eclipse is in the repositories.  Do you know about synaptic?
[20:52] <noobem> jrib: i'm used to win. dunno where to put packages like that. /opt not the place?
[20:52] <avis> tritium, well, synaptic isn't accepting my users password (which is the same i use to execute a sudo) i've typed it over and over to make sure i got it right.  there has to be a file that saves the password for that, thats different from my user password
[20:52] <Lokiase> tritium: so I did, and then I asked the question here :) because that didnt solve the prob :s
[20:52] <Slart> Whitor: each card can have several pcms.. they act differently.. some only allow recording, some allow only playing sounds etc etc
[20:52] <tritium> avis: there's not
[20:52] <s1ma0_> hi all
[20:52] <Elmnas> hi does someone know a easy and good fan program?
[20:53] <avis> tritium, i will attempt to type my password correctly, one more time.
[20:53] <jrib> noobem: you don't install software by manually downloading stuff (or at least you try to avoid it whenever possible).  Instead you use the repositories with the help of programs like System -> Administration -> Synaptic
[20:53] <noobem> jrib: found only vanilla eclipse in synaptic. wanted to install the eclipse j2ee package
[20:53] <ScottG> How do I find out what kind of wireless card I have?
[20:53] <nightrid3r> Elmnas: lmsensors
[20:53] <stanBR> hi all! I just finnished my first linux game. I created a .deb file and I would like to include it under the official ubuntu repository. What should I do?
[20:53] <jrib> noobem: ok, well 'gksudo nautilus' then
[20:53] <Elmnas> nightrid3r I installed it but how do I start it?
[20:53] <Slart> Whitor: you can look in /proc/asound/card0/ for folders that are named pcmXp or pcmXc
[20:53] <noobem> jrib: yeah. i'm familiar with the concept. thoung not everything is available in synaptic
[20:53] <tritium> stanBR: ask in #ubuntu-motu
[20:54] <stanBR> ok
[20:54] <eitreach> jrib: http://pastebin.com/d7862fa42
[20:54] <avis> tritium, wrong.  its definitely rejecting the *correct* password :/  i'll ask around later maybe someone else will know.  i can adminster my system from the command line thats alright by me
[20:54] <Slart> Whitor: the ones with a p on the end are for play sound.. the ones with c on the end are for Capturing sound
[20:54] <laurielegit> stanBR: is it in your ppa? i'd like to have a look :)
[20:54] <noobem> jrib: needs to be launched from terminal you mean?
[20:54] <Whitor> Slart, Ok... you've given me a lot to work with... I'm going to back and mess around
[20:54] <tritium> avis: no, not wrong.  There is *no* file that stores a separate password for synaptic.
[20:54] <tritium> Absutely not.
[20:54] <jrib> noobem: or press alt-f2 and type it there, yeah
[20:54] <Whitor> Slart, tyvm
[20:54] <nightrid3r> Elmnas: it start automaticaly when you boot, all you need now is get a readout tool like krelm
[20:54] <Slart> Whitor: understanding alsa isn't something you do in a 20 minute session =)
[20:54] <TheFunkbomb> okay, this IP table stuff confuses me
[20:54] <stanBR> laurielegit: I can upload it to my server. Wait a sec :)
[20:54] <noobem> jrib: brilliant! Cheers!
[20:55] <arussel> how can I set up skim ? I installed it, but control-space doesn't bring up anything when typing .
[20:55] <avis> tritium, ok.  understood.  well, irregardless of that fact, when my system wishes to update through a gui, i can't do anything about it
[20:55] <Slart> Whitor: browse around in the /proc/asound folder.. there are lots and lots of info.. files are mostly just text so you can just read them if you want
[20:55] <Elmnas> krelm ok
[20:55] <TheFunkbomb> where is my hero Jack_Sparrow?
[20:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Busy
[20:55] <jrib> noobem: sudo aptitude purge #
[20:55] <TheFunkbomb> booo
[20:55] <jrib> noobem: erm, sorry, ignore that
[20:55] <Insanelogger>  Can someone help me out with gnome-nettool 2.22.0?
[20:56] <tritium> avis: sorry to hear that.  That's puzzling.
[20:56] <jrib> eitreach: sudo aptitude purge swfdec-mozilla
[20:56] <Jack_Sparrow> TheFunkbomb, Best to leave them alone anyhow unless you need to do something in particular
[20:56] <Elmnas> I cant find krelm nightrid3r
[20:56] <noobem> jrib: the eclipse j2ee package
[20:56] <TheFunkbomb> Jack_Sparrow, I'm trying to configure the firewall to allow my gmail
[20:56] <jrib> noobem: hmm?
[20:57] <noobem> jrib: ops. sorry. read scrollback question :)
[20:57] <eitreach> jrib: done. :) Now what?
[20:57] <Jack_Sparrow> TheFunkbomb, There is no need for that.  I have gmail and did not edit my iptables
[20:57] <montu> server irc.rizon.neyt
[20:57] <montu> opps
[20:57] <jrib> eitreach: ls -l #
[20:57] <Jack_Sparrow> TheFunkbomb, Gmail has a tutorial on setting up thunderbird etc
[20:57] <stanBR> laurielegit: You may download it at http://insanerzshooter.googlepages.com/insanerzshooter_0.1_i386.deb and then install it using "dpkg -i insanerzshooter_0.1_i386.deb". This was my first game using C++ and SDL, so its kinda simple... ;)
[20:57] <montu> just getting use to typing on this
[20:57] <TheFunkbomb> Jack_Sparrow, I have gmail manager for Firefox
[20:58] <jrib> eitreach: ls -l /usr/share/ubufox/plugins/libswfdecmozilla.so        (pastebin keeps messing me up)
[20:58] <Jack_Sparrow> TheFunkbomb, Read the gmail tutorials
[20:58] <laurielegit> stanBR: thanks, i'll try it out
[20:58] <Gerinych> i can't install nvidia drivers on 8.10, it always gives me an error when i restart

[20:59] <Slart> Whitor: you're welcome
[20:59] <lotuspsychje> anyone knows if ubuntu blocks SYN packets by default
[21:00] <Slart> lotuspsychje: I don't think ubuntu blocks anything by default
[21:00] <eitreach> jrib: one moment.
[21:00] <Insanelogger>  Can someone help me out with gnome-nettool 2.22.0?
[21:00] <lotuspsychje> slart: my virtulbox crashes after running SYN packets
[21:00] <jrib> Insanelogger: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you
[21:00] <eitreach> jrib: http://pastebin.com/d42661c4e
[21:01] <jrib> eitreach: ls -l /usr/share/ubufox/plugins/libswfdecmozilla.so        (pastebin keeps messing me up)
[21:01] <lotuspsychje> so does wine
[21:01] <etb> where's the apache accesslog located
[21:01] <stanBR> laurielegit: let me know if it worked on your system. This was the first time I created a .deb file...
[21:01] <eitreach> jrib: no such file.
[21:01] <saj> hi folks
[21:02] <Slart> lotuspsychje: can you explain that again.. "running SYN packets" ? recieving them? sending them?
[21:02] <Elmnas> does someone know a good chassi fan controller?
[21:02] <deany> etb: /var/log/apache2
[21:02] <jrib> eitreach: good.  restart firefox
[21:02] <lotuspsychje> slart: sending them
[21:02] <eitreach> :p
[21:02] <saj> i need help with compiz
[21:02] <Cakarakoo> Hi all
[21:02] <eitreach> er, pardon
[21:03] <trojatra> I tried installing linux-rt to no avail (something about not being able to be configured), so now I'm trying to remove it (it partially installed or something) and I'm getting errors when trying to remove "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-3-rt" (I can provide exact errors if needed)
[21:03] <deany> saj:  prefs/appearance, effects off :))
[21:03] <|ntegra|> !networkmanager
[21:03] <Slart> lotuspsychje: doesn't sound like normal behaviour.. do you get any kind of error messages?
[21:03] <Gerinych> !nvidia
[21:03] <trojatra> http://paste.ubuntu.com/105323/
[21:03] <lotuspsychje> slart: no virtualbox and wine just crash feels like some kind of tcp/ip patch like the eventid for xp?
[21:04] <eitreach> jrib: seems like it's working - thank you kindly.
[21:04] <deany> offtopic but ive found out how to get wine full screen apps to show properly with compiz enabled.. wine config, turn off "allow window manager control windows" in graphics..
[21:04] <lotuspsychje> slart: you think there might be a limit on half open connections on ubuntu?
[21:05] <jrib> eitreach: no problem
[21:05] <Slart> lotuspsychje: I have no idea about xp and it's problems, sorry..
[21:05] <Squideshi> What's the difference between Debian and Ubuntu? What is added to Ubuntu?
[21:06] <Slart> lotuspsychje: there might be a limit somewhere.. but I don't know enough about it to say for sure
[21:06] <tritium> !debian | Squideshi
[21:06] <lotuspsychje> slart: ok tnx anyway for the reply
[21:06] <eighthour> is there an app to see what folders are using up hard drive space....like in a chart....???....
[21:06] <saj> thanks, mine is an old ati rage mobility p/m agp 2x card
[21:06] <deany> Squideshi: ubuntu customised it to make more friendly for less advanced people
[21:06] <jrib> eighthour: accessories -> disk usage analyzer
[21:08] <Cakarakoo> I connected an extra monitor to my laptop but whenever I try to close the lid Ubuntu gets in suspend mode, where can I disable this please?
[21:08] <eighthour> jrib: thanks, but i was looking for more of a breakdown....like where the bulk usage is....
[21:08] <deany> system/preferences, power manage
[21:09] <jrib> eighthour: it does that, doesn't it?
[21:09] <saj> i am using xubuntu am i in the right place here?
[21:09] <Slart> eighthour: just sort it by size..
[21:09] <eighthour> gotcha....thanks....trying to do some cleaning....
[21:09] <n8tuser> Cakarakoo-> usually laptops have a switch that when you close the lid it puts it in sleep mode, look around the hinges, i doubt it if you can disable that
[21:09] <Slart> saj: there might be some channel specializing in xubuntu but you can ask here too
[21:10] <maximus_1> I was called by a network administrator saying I had caused a 'logical loop' and shut down my Internet access
[21:10] <maximus_1> does anyone know what I would need to disable? supposedly some gateway thing
[21:10] <Insanelogger>  Can someone help me out with gnome-nettool 2.22.0?
[21:11] <Slart> maximus_1: logical loop? sounds like someone needs a weekend course in people skills..
[21:11] <jrib> Insanelogger: ask your question and find out
[21:11] <sh2> what is the difference between normal booting and init=/bin/sh in bootarguments
[21:12] <lens247> anyone know if there r any other options after getting this result from force command? mount: special device /dev/sdal does not exist
[21:12] <jrib> sh2: init=/bin/sh will drop you straight into a shell, it's really just for extreme emergencies when nothing else is working
[21:12] <Cakarakoo> So, can anyone disable the suspen mode when closing the lid of a laptopo?
[21:12] <Squideshi> Is there a place to place bounties on desired development in Ubuntu?
[21:12] <n8tuser> maximus_1-> sounds like you had a spare cable from a switch connected back to the router and things are getting in a loop?
[21:12] <sh2> and normal booting where you get a init
[21:12] <sh2> what is the purpose?
[21:12] <jrib> Cakarakoo: system -> preferences -> power management  have an option?  (I can't remember)
[21:12] <Slart> n8tuser: don't modern switches detect that and disable those ports?
[21:13] <sh2> why do we need init. instead of just a shell

[21:15] <Slart> TheFunkbomb: didn't you enable some bandwidth limits? or was that someone else?
[21:15] <TheFunkbomb> Slart, no, not me
[21:15] <Slart> emil__: try asking in #winehq or check the application database.. appdb.winehq.org
[21:15] <TheFunkbomb> I just ran sudo ufw enable
[21:15] <emil__> ok ty :)
[21:16] <Slart> TheFunkbomb: oh.. that shouldn't really affect transfer speeds.. that's all you did?
[21:16] <n8tuser> TheFunkbomb -> where is the firewall?
[21:16] <redvamp128> emil turn off compiz
[21:16] <TheFunkbomb> Slart and sudo ufw default deny
[21:16] <jeremy_> anyone have experience with nvidia video cards in PowerPC?
[21:17] <n8tuser> TheFunkbomb -> curious, can you paste the results of  sudo iptables -vL
[21:17] <redvamp128> emil__:  turn off comiz and also try running the applicaiton in a virtual desktop
[21:17] <Slart> TheFunkbomb: can you still access regular sites?
[21:17] <redvamp128> that way your taksbar remains but does not affect the applcation
[21:17] <TheFunkbomb> Slart, no and n8tuser I'll try

[21:18] <razin> my penis is a beast, my penis is a beast, my penis is a beast, my penis is a beast, my penis is a beast, my penis is a beast, my penis is a beast, my penis is a beast.
[21:18] <emil__> redvamp128: compiz?
[21:18] <redvamp128> emil__:  under the wine- configure wine -- then graphics should see the option there
[21:18] <Slart> TheFunkbomb: I think the default deny option means you have to manually allow network traffic that should be allowed.. so you need to start allowing everything you want to use

[21:21] <yaris123456789> what is a good editor for replacing many strings for txt files in the range of 20~40mb ?
[21:22] <Slart> yaris123456789: grep
[21:22] <Slart> yaris123456789: or sed
[21:22] <ari_stress> morning all :)
[21:22] <xang> yaris123456789: sed
[21:22] <Slart> yaris123456789: definately sed.. grep is more of a search tool
[21:22] <yaris123456789> Slart: how do i use it with sed ? say replace 'sundays' with 'mondays'
[21:23] <tgb> Hey guys, quick question....
[21:23] <xang> yaris123456789: sed "s/sundays/monday/g filename
[21:23] <yaris123456789> i dont need regex.....just need to replace a string
[21:23] <Slart> yaris123456789: sed 's/sundays/mondays/' bigtextfile.txt I think
[21:23] <yaris123456789> oh
[21:23] <yaris123456789> ok
[21:23] <xang> sed "s/sundays/mondays/g" filename
[21:23] <yaris123456789> what is s/ and /g
[21:23] <miik> ... /g is global
[21:23] <TheFunkbomb> I'm hosed
[21:23] <yaris123456789> is it case sensitive ?
[21:23] <miik> s/ is like search and replace
[21:23] <miik> its case sensitive if you had /i
[21:24] <n8tuser> yaris123456789 -> after those suggestion  you have to  >  anewfile
[21:24] <Fade2Blk> if i want to install the driver for my nvidia card all i have to do is activate it in the restricted driver list correct?
[21:24] <Slart> yaris123456789: it is a regexp.. s is a command of a sorts.. "search" perhaps?
[21:24] <miik> or insenisitive :p
[21:24] <tgb> I'm going to be upgrading my Slackware Linux RAID server to Ubuntu RAID with all new HD's.  To pull this off, I'm going to install everything on a different computer, copy all the data over, and then move the HD's into the old server.  My question is this:  Are there any problems moving an Ubuntu HD from one machine to another?  I'd presume the answer is no (it would be yes for WinXP), but I just wanted to check.
[21:24] <Slart> yaris123456789: there are lots and lots of examples out there.. sed has been around for a long time
[21:24] <yaris123456789> so sed "s/i/sundays/mondays/g" bigfiletxt > newfile.txt
[21:24] <xang> right n8tuser...so "sed s/sundays/mondays/g" filename > newfile
[21:25] <SteveHill> I just upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and my sound no longer works.  Can anyone suggest a troubleshooting scenario??
[21:25] <yaris123456789> so /i will make it case sensitive ?
[21:25] <n8tuser> yaris123456789 -> and xang   affirmative
[21:25] <peepsalot> is it now forbidden to use Ctrl-Alt-F1, etc.  virtual terminals?  I used to be able to use them, but now I get instantly kicked back to X when I try to switch
[21:25] <Moppelkotze> hallolo
[21:25] <n8tuser> yaris123456789 -> i  should be at the end
[21:25] <yaris123456789> oh
[21:25] <Slart> peepsalot: mm.. I think it's a video driver issue.. afaik it's not forbidden
[21:26] <F_or_F> test
[21:26] <yaris123456789> n8tuser: do i have to escape anything else when searching? like ' or & ?
[21:26] <Area300> !xinerama
[21:26] <peepsalot> stupid nvidia! ughgahg
[21:26] <n8tuser> yaris123456789 -> you can use a different delimeter like  ;
[21:27] <Stieffers> Anyone help me out with an Nvidia driver problem? (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6550754#post6550754)
[21:27] <tgb> Hmm, alternately perhaps I should move the Slackware RAID drives to the new machine, and then just install Ubuntu on the hardware directly.
[21:28] <tgb> As long as my network drivers work that should be OK...
[21:28] <yaris123456789> n8tuser: liek this is what i wanna do. i want to find all 's and replace it with \'s......this is a big .sql file, and it has problems with a single quote...so i need to escape all possessive 's
[21:28] <yaris123456789> sed "s/'s/\'s/g/i bigfile > filetext
[21:28] <yaris123456789> woudl that work ?

[21:33] <Stieffers> Steve: Make sure that all your audio mixers are up, and make sure you have all the outputs muted. (Such as digital out)
[21:33] <Demios> it means root could not be accessed?

[21:35] <Matson> what is the state of service management on ubuntu nowadays?
[21:35] <zoddan> anyone knows how to boot ubuntu with a CD as a "starter", my grub is not working
[21:35] <Fade2Blk> i just finish install from the restricted driver list
[21:35] <Slart> jsm left?.. I sure hope it wasn't that woman.. imagine going into a support channel and everyone already knows who you are and what the problem is..
[21:35] <Matson> are people using /etc/initd?  upstart?  Sun's Service Management Facility?
[21:35] <disappearedng> my nautilus keeps crashing
[21:35] <|ntegra|> It hasn't worked like that, every time I reboot it reverts back to old essid/account
[21:35] <eraggo> can someone highlight me? just a test :)
[21:35] <IndyGunFreak> zoddan: are you on the live CD now?
[21:35] <disappearedng> what should I do ?
[21:35] <Matson> (I don't run ubuntu)
[21:35] <Flannel> eraggo: In the future, things like that belong in #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:35] <zoddan> IndyGunFreak: no i have ubuntu installed on my harddrive but ubuntu wont work :/
[21:35] <zoddan> IndyGunFreak: so i want to use the CD as a "helper"
[21:36] <eraggo> Flannel, ok :)
[21:36] <Slart> eraggo: there is a test channel.. guess what it's called =)
[21:36] <IndyGunFreak> zoddan: id on't understand what you mean by helper, are you trying to reinstall grub?
[21:36] <eraggo> i think joining there now
[21:36] <zoddan> IndyGunFreak: grub is not working on the HDD so im using a CD to try to boot ubuntu
[21:37] <IndyGunFreak> !grub | zoddan use the instructions here to reinstall grub
[21:37] <guntbert> Matson: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the place for such discussions
[21:37] <zoddan> IndyGunFreak: thats was not my question ...
[21:37] <jony_kalavera> hi
[21:37] <Matson> guntbert: thanks
[21:37] <|ntegra|> hi
[21:37] <Whitor> hi
[21:37] <|ntegra|> hi
[21:37] <wash-hasted> hi
[21:37] <zoddan> IndyGunFreak: my question was: how do i boot ubuntu with the help of a cd
[21:38] <jony_kalavera> how can i downgrade php5 to php4 in 8-04?
[21:38] <|ntegra|> haha

[21:38] <zoddan> IndyGunFreak: ?
[21:39] <jony_kalavera> is it posible tu have php4 and 5 in the same apache instance
[21:39] <jony_kalavera> }?
[21:39] <Slart> adrian_: seems you're the first one here.. can you run the live cd on it?
[21:39] <zoddan> anyone knows how to boot ubuntu with a CD as a "starter", my grub is not working
[21:39] <laggerbear> is there any worthy media players xcept totem?
[21:40] <Flannel> !media | laggerbear
[21:40] <Seveas> jony_kalavera, yes, but your php4 files should be called .php4 (or the php 5 ones .php5) and you need some config tweaking. Also, Ubuntu doesn't support php4
[21:40] <IndyGunFreak> laggerbear: i like vlc
[21:40] <zoddan> no one?
[21:40] <guntbert> zoddan: you can repair grub
[21:40] <zoddan> guntbert: that was not my question
[21:40] <IndyGunFreak> guntbert: he doesn't want to do that apparently, thats why i just stopped responding to him
[21:40] <zoddan> guntbert: my question is how i boot with a CD
[21:41] <adrian_> nope slart ... i think the bios/firmware might be locked down
[21:41] <Slart> zoddan: I would just boot a live and fix grub from there
[21:41] <Adam_> zoddan: just boot from the cd, choose the use ubuntu from cd option
[21:41] <adrian_> american megatrends bios, munged by google
[21:41] <zoddan> Slart: ok how?
[21:41] <Slart> !grub | zoddan

[21:41] <zoddan> i want to get into my current system with the CD
[21:41] <zoddan> not repearing grub

[21:48] <Slart> yaris123456789: if you write.. echo 'test' it does just that.. writes test... but if you write echo 'test and press enter it waits for the next '.. and you get the > prompt
[21:48] <zoddan> guntbert: well it seems to me that you dont even read my question
[21:48] <zoddan> and talking about something else
[21:48] <yaris123456789> n8tuser: newfile.txt wasn't created
[21:48] <jhonnyboy> hey guys i just finished installing ndiswrapper on ubuntu and installed the windows drivers for it. Do i need to restart for everything to take effect? When i try to configure the network through ndis it says could not find a network configuration tool. What could be the cause/solution of this?
[21:48] <Flannel> jhonnyboy: Please don't repeat your question so often.  We all read it the first four times.
[21:49] <Slart> zoddan: why not write a post about it on the forums.. if you keep this up in here you'll just get kicked when you get annoyed enough to start screaming insults at us.. it doesn't seem like any of us can understand what you want to do
[21:50] <rxbandit> does anyone know if you can run Hardware Drivers (restricted drivers) from the command line? Or how to search for the available commands like that?
[21:50] <commander_> hello guys
[21:50] <Slart> zoddan: don't take this the wrong way.. it's not an insult.. it's just that I've seen these kinds of discussions before.. they usually end up with one person calling someone else some bad things and then the ban hammer falls
[21:50] <blue-printf> is there a bug that makes ubuntu run on the battery power instead of netpower?
[21:51] <zoddan> Slart: i just want to boot my kernel with the help of a CD, whats not to understand?
[21:51] <Iornman1> can someone help me trouble shoot a bad nvidia card install
[21:51] <n8tuser> blue-printf -> what do you mean netpower?
[21:52] <Slart> zoddan: I'm not sure.. but several people here, including myself, don't understand what (or perhaps why) you want to do
[21:52] <Iornman1> after installing the nvidia driver through the restricted driver menu i restarted as asked now when i try and boot i get a black screen that ask me to log in
[21:52] <zoddan> Slart: ..
[21:52] <blue-printf> n8tuser: uh the power from the poweradapter. sorry dont know the word
[21:52] <Kai_wp> I'm trying to get dual-moniters working on my Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron installation with an nVidia 8600 GT XXX. I have the latest nVidia binary drivers installed. And I read on the forums that it should be easy to configure with "gksudo nvidia-settings". But when I run it a program starts in the bottom bar with the caption "Starting Administrati..." and then it closes a few seconds later. Does anyone know why it would do this? (Both mon
[21:52] <Kai_wp> plugged in through DVI by the way)
[21:52] <zoddan> Slart: ok i have a working installation of ubuntu on my harddrive, ok?
[21:52] <Slart> zoddan: perhaps you could try to explain why you want to do this.. there might be another way..
[21:53] <Slart> zoddan: ok
[21:53] <zoddan> Slart: but grub wont start so i cant start my ubuntu. ok?
[21:53] <Slart> zoddan: ok
[21:53] <blue-printf> i have my laptop on the poweradapter cord but the laptop is using  the battery
[21:53] <Iornman1> can anyone help me?
[21:53] <wassy121> Why do I need to run my 'gconftool-2 --get' commands through dbus-launch?
[21:53] <zoddan> Slart: o i have a Debian netinstall CD that i booted from, and im at the "boot" promt, ok?
[21:53] <n8tuser> blue-printf -> typically the brick power adapter charges your battery at same time powering your laptop
[21:53] <Slart> zoddan: so far, it's a common problem.. it happens for example when you install windows after you've installed ubuntu
[21:54] <zoddan> Slart: so need the command fo how to start the kernel on my harddrive from that promt,,, ok?
[21:54] <Slart> zoddan: boot prompt? in grub?
[21:54] <zoddan> Slart: i dont have windows
[21:54] <zoddan> Slart: no not in grub
[21:54] <blue-printf> n8tuser: its discharging the battery
[21:54] <Slart> zoddan: in lilo?
[21:54] <zoddan> Slart: when you but a Debian netinstall CD in you get to a promt
[21:54] <zoddan> Slart: you can type "expert" or "rescue" and so on
[21:54] <Flannel> zoddan: Right, that's a boot line.
[21:54] <zoddan> ye
[21:55] <zoddan> i need the command for the boot line to understand that it is suppose to boot my kernel thats on my harddrive
[21:55] <zoddan> ok?
[21:55] <n8tuser> blue-printf -> that is odd,  the brick is supposed to charge and power your laptop not to discharge the battery, did you check the brick if it has the correct output voltage?
[21:55] <Slart> zoddan: one sec...
[21:56] <Iornman1> after installing nvidia driver and restarting my computer will not start ubuntu now
[21:56] <Iornman1> how do i fix this
[21:56] <quentusrex> how do I restart alsa?
[21:57] <wassy121> quentusrex: sudo alsa reload
[21:57] <wassy121> or sudo alsa force-reload
[21:57] <blue-printf> n8tuser: its the original power adapter. i also tried one from another hp laptop
[21:57] <cplusplus2> whats the command to run a search from a path in the console?
[21:57] <blue-printf> hope my hardware isnt defect
[21:57] <cplusplus2> wann look for a highgui.h
[21:58] <guntbert> blue-printf: does your laptop have LEDs to show the powerstatus?
[21:58] <n8tuser> blue-printf -> check the brick if it is really have any output, i have a few that dont have the output voltage, the xfomer is burn i guess
[21:58] <blue-printf> found the problem
[21:58] <blue-printf> tried a third adapter and its working now
[21:58] <Slart> zoddan: going to try this in a vm.. almost finished the download of the netinstall iso
[21:59] <blue-printf> damn need a new one again
[21:59] <MatBoy> aah !!! why does ubuntu find not any network when everything is set right, route looks OK, and on dhcp it works
[21:59] <blue-printf> thanx for the help anyway
[21:59] <n8tuser> cplusplus2 -> find    man find
[21:59] <Gerinych> i get an error when i boot ubuntu "can't run module "type 1" (module does not exist)" or something similar. How do i fix this
[22:00] <n8tuser> MatBoy -> what network is it supposed to look for?
[22:01] <MatBoy> n8tuser: a local one, a debian box is working on it and a previous ubuntu install was too
[22:01] <Area300> what is the command to restart x after a config change in xorg.conf
[22:01] <Gerinych> how do i install module type1
[22:02] <n8tuser> Slart -> i suspect thats a busybox command prompt, and so i suspect a "boot"  with the correct params ?
[22:02] <rww> Area300: if X is running, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. If not, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" (assuming you're using GNOME)
[22:02] <Area300> rww: thank you i am on the latter
[22:02] <n8tuser> MatBoy -> is this wireless? ethernet? can you describe your network layout?
[22:03] <MatBoy> n8tuser: wired... to a route that is it's gateway
[22:03] <[aw]> hey anybody familiar with the "timer not connected to IO-APIC" error? Ubuntu 8.10 wont install for me
[22:03] <zoddan> anyway, you was so into fixing the grub... this i what grub says:
[22:03] <zoddan> grub-install '(hd0)'
[22:03] <zoddan> "/dev/sda5: Not found or not a block device"
[22:03] <MatBoy> n8tuser: weird is that is works on dhcp tho
[22:03] <zoddan> grub-install /dev/sda
[22:03] <zoddan> "/dev/sda: Not found or not a block device"
[22:03] <FloodBot1> zoddan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:03] <Slart> n8tuser: don't think it's busybox.. afaik busybox has ls and other commands available
[22:03] <zoddan> that was only 4 lines, what is the problem?
[22:03] <Area300> I need to add BusID to both of my nvidia cards in the xorg.conf does anyone have any info on doing this that would help me please
[22:03] <portz> Anybody know why a bluetooth mouse scroll wheel wouldn't work?
[22:04] <zoddan> n8tuser: that is what grub says
[22:04] <Area300> !bluetooth
[22:04] <portz> Ah. Thanks.
[22:04] <jussi_> hello. Anyone know if there drivers for ati radeon hd 3850 AGP that work on Ubunutu
[22:04] <n8tuser> MatBoy -> maybe am not following, your box is getting an ip address? and have the correct route table entries but could not get very far?
[22:05] <MatBoy> n8tuser: on dhcp it works ok, bt when I set working parameters manually it doesn't
[22:05] <portz> Area300: Not the information I need. The mouse works fine. The scroll wheel doesn't.
[22:06] <arkanabar> I wrote a 50mb partition onto a 150g drive; is there any software that can help me recover that data?
[22:06] <n8tuser> MatBoy -> am not really following you, on dhcp as oppose to what?  what working parameters are you referring to? what command are you issuing?
[22:06] <Slart> n8tuser: it's using something called SBM.. Smart Boot Manager.. perhaps that's it
[22:06] <SudoKing> Hello ... I recently tried to change the deinterlacing method in my system settings, however, after rebooting my computer, the setting appears to be the same and the music has a different accent, and doesn't even work in some applications.  Can I reset the configuration for Xine or have it reconfigure the soundcard?
[22:07] <Kai_wp> Does anyone have any idea of a solution for my dual-moniter problem?
[22:07] <MatBoy> n8tuser: justa interfaces setup and a resolv.conf
[22:07] <MatBoy> justd efault stuff
[22:07] <Area300> portz: maybe your mouse needs a spcific driver to function properly
[22:07] <jony_kalavera> so basicaly i need to complile php4 from scratch? or is there a repository i can add to install it in 8.04?
[22:07] <n8tuser> Slart ahh okay, smart boot managers do have a list of commands too, i cant recall those command off hand at the moment
[22:08] <on_new_box> How much swap should I partition for with 4gb or RAM?
[22:08] <tenang> hey guys how you all doin
[22:08] <portz> Area300: Didn't come with a drivers disk, I don't think.
[22:08] <Slart> n8tuser: hmm.. I just found a screenshot of SBM and it's more of a norton commander type of gui
[22:08] <RPS> guys does anyone know if there is an irc channel that deals with the email client Evolution? I've not had any luck finding one. :(
[22:08] <n8tuser> MatBoy -> its really hard to understand what you have done, can you kindly  tell me what commands you issued?
[22:08] <tenang> mozzilla thunderbird
[22:08] <tilgovi> I can't seem to get Vinagre to exit fullscreen mode. Tried Ctrl-Alt, F11, F8, which i've seen listed around. Nothing works. Any ideas
[22:09] <n8tuser> Slart -> right, its like an old ncurses menu if i recall
[22:09] <zoddan> "dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part 5 does not have any corresponding BIOS driver."
[22:09] <zoddan> "dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc does not have any corresponding BIOS driver."
[22:09] <GringoChapin> Hi all, I'm trying to setup automatic time correction on a Ubuntu box.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be able to connect to ntp servers. It's possible that those ports are blocked by an external firewall.  Does anyone know of one running on port 80, or another work around?
[22:09] <MatBoy> n8tuser: ok, it seems that it can't ping the gatway
[22:09] <MatBoy> *gateway
[22:09] <tenang> so who knows where I can download wine 1.18 for 8.10 ubuntu intrepid?
[22:10] <arkanabar> I accidentally used CloneZilla to write a 50mb partition onto a 150gb disk -- is there anything I can do to recover data from the lost partition?
[22:10] <n8tuser> MatBoy -> would you like to step back a few and lets go over what you have done?
[22:10] <MatBoy> n8tuser: listen, I have a working debian install with the same settings
[22:11] <Area300> portz: i dont konw if it will work but this post is talking alot about your problam http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-355695.html
[22:11] <MatBoy> so, same switch, so I figure out WHY it can't ping the gatway
[22:11] <zoddan> n8tuser: got any smarter?
[22:11] <n8tuser> MatBoy -> what commands you typed on ubuntu?
[22:11] <MatBoy> n8tuser: come on, I not a n00b, ping,traceroute, so on
[22:12] <dimm> hello! how i can recovery password for irc?
[22:12] <MatBoy> dimm: don't logout first !!
[22:12] <MatBoy> dimm: ask #freenode
[22:12] <MatBoy> they can help as long as you didn't logout
[22:12] <commander_> does anyone know if you can sync a Blackberry curve 8330 w/Ibex/
[22:13] <n8tuser> zoddan -> nope, I doubt it if you can boot that bootloader and then point to another partition to pick up the rest..but you seem to be a good at boot loading, you can try anything
[22:13] <tenang> anyone know where to get wine v1.18 for ubuntu intrepid?
[22:14] <n8tuser> MatBoy -> one last time, what command did you use in ubuntu to check?  other than ping, do you have an ip address?
[22:14] <Dueland> Hi, do I have to reinstall my ubuntu-server system if i add more ram?
[22:14] <Myrtti> Dueland: no
[22:14] <Dueland> figures, thanks :)
[22:14] <MatBoy> n8tuser: yes, sorry, I will figure it out my own... thanks
[22:14] <tenang> who knows how to install combat arms?
[22:14]  * MatBoy is getting tired of the same questions
[22:15] <zoddan> n8tuser: what?
[22:15] <n8tuser> MatBoy -> you seem to have an issue with answering a simple question of what command you typed
[22:15] <arkanabar> I accidentally used CloneZilla to write a 50mb partition onto a 150gb disk -- is there anything I can do to recover data from the lost partition?
[22:15] <MatBoy> n8tuser: I told you man, maybe you should read better ?
[22:15] <GringoChapin> Anyone have any ideas on how I might keep my system clock in sync when the standard ntp ports are blocked?
[22:15] <MatBoy> n8tuser: you are quite annoying in being right, sorry...
[22:16] <n8tuser> zoddan ->  i dont believe what you're trying will work..
[22:16] <portz> Well, I found another mouse. Thanks anyway, Area!
[22:16] <zoddan> n8tuser: what am i trying then?
[22:16] <parceltounge> hi
[22:16] <MatBoy> zoddan: I think he has smoeked something
[22:16] <MatBoy> *smoked
[22:16] <zoddan> ?
[22:16] <n8tuser> MatBoy -> you can not answer a simple question of does your box have an ip address?
[22:16] <MatBoy> zoddan: you don; t know where he is talking about "trying"
[22:16] <tenang> so I take it no one here knows how to get wine v1.18?
[22:17] <Slart> zoddan: the boot loader is called isolinux
[22:17] <sifuschwager> why do you need wine 1.18?
[22:17] <MatBoy> n8tuser: huh what has that to do with what I typed ?? yes it has !! as I said before, I can't ONLY ping the gatway
[22:17] <n8tuser> zoddan -> are you here to troll? i told you i dont believe what you're attempting will work
[22:17] <MatBoy> *gateway
[22:17] <on_new_box> How much swap should I partition for with 4gb or RAM?
[22:17] <MatBoy> n8tuser: you are seriously trolling and not reading well
[22:17] <zoddan> n8tuser: ..... that was my atempt to fix grub but ok .....
[22:17] <sifuschwager> 4gb
[22:17] <tenang> wine 1.18 is the only one that will install a game that kept me on windows called combat arms
[22:17] <sifuschwager> fo sho
[22:17] <n8tuser> MatBoy -> is the gateway on same subnet as your ip address?
[22:17] <tenang> the newer wine doesn't work with it in intrepid
[22:17] <sifuschwager> have you tried fallout 3 perchance?
[22:18] <Slart> zoddan: http://syslinux.zytor.com seem to be the main site for isolinux.. not sure if there is anything useful
[22:18] <parceltounge> configure: error: You can't use libhal _and_ libusb. Select only one.
[22:18] <parceltounge> im getting this error
[22:18] <MatBoy> n8tuser: yes, and as I said.. I have the same settings, only different IP on a debian host that works perfectly
[22:18] <parceltounge> im trying to install libusb modual
[22:18] <tenang> fallout 3 as in the game?
[22:19] <sifuschwager> yeah
[22:19] <sifuschwager> i was trying to get it working
[22:19] <MatBoy> I have the idea that itś a ubuntu-server issue
[22:19] <martin__> i just plugged in an ntfs formatted hard drive via usb and i don't see it, though dmesg says it mounted to sdd1 and ntfs-3g is up to date, any tips?
[22:19] <tenang> lol my rl life friends are on combat arms otherwise I might be up for it
[22:19] <sifuschwager> too bad.
[22:19] <capa> how to install kismet in hardy?
[22:19] <n8tuser> MatBoy -> why is it you are making it  so difficult to answer my queries?
[22:19] <sifuschwager> i just couldnt figure out how to get it installed.
[22:20] <core_> help!!! dnsmasq start failed,  Address already in use
[22:20] <tenang> I think cebega is supposed to get fallout 3 working
[22:20] <sifuschwager> its been out for a few months so i figured somebody had it
[22:20] <sifuschwager> i havent heard of this
[22:20] <MatBoy> n8tuser: sorry... going to ignore you, you are trolling only with several of people... take some pills ?
[22:20] <capa> how to install kismet in hardy?
[22:20] <n8tuser> Matboy dont worry you are the one having a fit ..
[22:20] <psicobra> any one here know anything about synce
[22:21] <tenang> look at the tutorial?
[22:21] <alanbell> is there an Ubuntu MID or lpia architecture (Atom) IRC channel?
[22:21] <jpds> alanbell: #ubuntu-mobile.
[22:22] <sifuschwager> its not listed under their compatibility chart
[22:22] <Fuzzy> guys help me, when my friend is booting the live cd he has the error reading CD, what it could be?
[22:22] <martin__> Fuzzy, does the cd work in another computer?
[22:22] <tenang> noooooo isohunt doesn't have v1.18 lol
[22:22] <Slart> Fuzzy: scratched cd, broken cd reader
[22:22] <sifuschwager> to get the obvious out of the way- the cd works right>
[22:22] <alanbell> jpds: thanks
[22:22] <on_new_box> How much swap should I partition for with 4gb or RAM?
[22:23] <Flannel> on_new_box: Do you plan on hibernating?
[22:23] <Slart> on_new_box: do you plan on using hibernation?
[22:23] <sifuschwager> anyone feel like helping me get fallout 3 going on my new computer?
[22:23] <Slart> bah..need faster fingers =)
[22:23] <tenang> id swap 2 personally just because I don't like swapping much
[22:23] <on_new_box> Flannel:   Slart:  Probably.
[22:23] <Flannel> on_new_box: Then you'll need at least 4GB
[22:23] <Slart> sifuschwager: have you checked the application database?
[22:23] <gradin> how can i embed video stored on my webserver and stream it
[22:24] <tenang> yah he has 4gb lol
[22:24] <Flannel> on_new_box: but, I don't see any reason to have more than that.
[22:24] <n8tuser> on_new_box -> and if you do plan, a swap can easily be created or expanded,
[22:24] <Slart> sifuschwager: http://appdb.winehq.org
[22:24] <sifuschwager> Ive spent quite a  bit of time looking online.
[22:24] <Fuzzy> martin__, and what if on another computer it will work?
[22:24] <sifuschwager> but not this particular area. thanks Ill check.
[22:24] <core_> help!!! I try to serup dhcp server, dnsmasq can't start:  Address already in use * failed
[22:24] <Slart> on_new_box: I have 4GB and had no swap at all for a long time
[22:24] <Slart> on_new_box: but I didn't use hibernation
[22:25] <on_new_box> Flannel: n8tuser:  Thanks.  I'm not sure if I will be using hibernation as it is a desktop machine.
[22:25] <simplexio> gradin: there is several ways for it. chech about vlc, darwin etc
[22:25] <on_new_box> Thanks as well Slart
[22:25] <GringoChapin> fuzzy: then the CD drive on your friends computer is probably broken.
[22:25] <hectorpal> Help: I can't type the letter 'o' in gnome-terminal, but I can here, gedit, etc. Any idea?
[22:25] <snake_> hello to all. i have a strange problem. i was playing with the icons and now i get a very big mouse pointer in the desktop only. in every window and folder the pointer is ok but in the desktop not. anyone ? thank you
[22:26] <Slart> hectorpal: try checking the shortcut keys.. it's in one of the menus
[22:26] <hectorpal> Thanks
[22:27] <hectorpal> weird, it self repaired
[22:27] <bazzelio> hi all
[22:27] <hectorpal> snake_ have you restart?
[22:27] <snake_> i tried changing the pointer and restarting X but that didnt helped. the pointer changes but not in desktop
[22:27] <hectorpal> hum...
[22:28] <hectorpal> oh, no! That's even more weird. If I have multiple tabs in gnome-terminal, I can't type 'o'. But having one tab, works perfect
[22:30] <n8tuser> does anyone ever come across a laptop that has  Spanish language in the bios? how was that made? i called sony and they only support english
[22:30] <Gerinych> >>>where do i get type1 module from
[22:32] <persei> No more room in my /boot directory ;-( is it possible using synaptic to do a search for let's say 2.6.24-16 and to remove the five files with that termination. I want to be sure all files related to that 2.6.24-16 kernel will be removed.
[22:32] <hectorpal> n8tuser: I've seen that. There should be an option in bios for changing it
[22:32] <GringoChapin> Anyone have any ideas on how I might keep my system clock in sync when the standard ntp ports are blocked?
[22:32] <rww> Gerinych: Did you manually put it in xorg.conf, or is it getting loaded automatically somehow? Because type1 got replaced by freetype in most systems a while ago.
[22:33] <hectorpal> persei: I think you can use dpkg to remove the old kernel
[22:33] <lappi> join/ ubuntu-de#
[22:33] <rww> n8tuser: I have, but there was an option to change the BIOS language in there, so it wasn't too problematic.
[22:33] <Gerinych> rww: i ran nvidia-xconfig through terminal and it added a line to load it
[22:33] <n8tuser> hectopal i did aske Sony support, and they claim ignorance, we only suppot english..nah nah na..
[22:33] <lappi> join/ ubuntu-de#
[22:33] <rww> Gerinych: I don't use nvidia, but I'm pretty sure you can just remove that line.
[22:33] <rww> lappi: /join #ubuntu-de
[22:34] <lappi> thx
[22:34] <n8tuser> rww do you recall which key combination you pressed to change it to spanish?
[22:34] <Gerinych> rww: i did, but my driver is still screwed up, i think i need that line to fix the driver
[22:34] <persei> hectorpal: apt-get or dpkg ? does that work : dpkg deinstall *2.6.24-16* ?
[22:34] <hectorpal> n8tuser: look around in the bios until you see spanish or "español" and click it.
[22:35] <Brack102> downloading openoffice.org from http://archive.us.ubuntu.com is going REALLLY slow....shouldn't it be at least kinda fast?
[22:35] <hectorpal> persei: I don't think that's the name of the package
[22:36] <hectorpal> persei: try to find the name of package first: dpkg --search /boot/a-file-i-am-sure-belongs-to-that-kernel, it returns package name. then you uninstall it
[22:36] <persei> ok, thanks
[22:36] <rww> n8tuser: I opened up the BIOS and navigated around until I found something that looked like "Language", then changed it from there =/
[22:37] <n8tuser> Hector -> nope, i have not seen anything at all in the bios to indicate switching to another language or locale, i was hoping some of you may have the key combo, that am not aware of
[22:37] <Hector> . . wha?
[22:37] <hectorpal> HELP: If I have multiple tabs in gnome-terminal, I can't type 'o'. But having one tab, works perfect. Having two maps, and typing 'o' in the most left one, switch to the next tab.
[22:37] <n8tuser> rww is it a Sony vaio by chance?
[22:37] <Hector> n8tuser -> Wrong Hector.

[22:37] <rww> Gerinych: Hmm. I doubt that's the problem; try some of the troubleshooting steps in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Troubleshooting , maybe?
[22:37] <rww> n8tuser: nope, sorry :(
[22:38] <TheFunkbomb> hey, what's google's IP address?
[22:38] <cplusplus> how could a add the path of a .so file during starting of a program?
[22:38] <GringoChapin> Brack102: there are lots of reasons it could be a slow download, server/network congestion is a good bet.

[22:41] <lifenova> rww, thanks.
[22:42] <rww> lifenova: you're welcome. I'll get around to doing that too at some point :)
[22:42] <Area300> ok does anyone here use Nvidia 8 or 9000 siers video cards 2 at a time? if so can i look at your xorg.conf and see what i am missing ?
[22:42] <hectorpal> Slart: thank you! it works
[22:42] <Slart> hectorpal: you found some shortcut key?
[22:43] <TheMusicGuy> Help, please...I'm not sure why, but I can't hear Rythmbox playing anymore, though I can hear Totem, Exaile, Audacity, etc.
[22:43] <hectorpal> Slart: yes, it was changed to 'o', but I haven't done anything
[22:43] <Slart> hectorpal: hmm.. computers.. reliable.. pfff =)
[22:43] <hectorpal> Slart: :-)
[22:43] <rww> hectorpal: this happened to someone else with pidgin a while ago. give me a minute and i'll look for how we fixed it.
[22:43] <Area300> TheMusicGuy>have you tryed turning the sound back up in Rythmbox ?
[22:43] <TheMusicGuy> the sound is not off.
[22:44] <TheMusicGuy> I checked.
[22:44] <hectorpal> rww: I've corrected mine. I've use pidgin, but not today.
[22:44] <TheMusicGuy> I turned the Rythmbox volume (top-right corner, right?) all the way down and back up again.
[22:44] <snake_> ok i tried restarting x and the pc but that doesnt solve the problem. i get the big mouse pointer now in folders and all windows borders but not inside the apps. i get a big mouse in firefox borders but not inside firefox. any idea ?
[22:44] <Gerinych> rww: i tried something from there, the type1 is gone, but i get a new error when i boot ubuntu "Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself" any way to fix this?
[22:45] <Area300> TheMusicGuy: there is main volume and Rythm volume .. did that once .. one was all way down and other wasnt
[22:45] <rww> hectorpal: oh, sorry, didn't see that Slart helped you already. Glad you got it fixed :)
[22:45] <hectorpal> rww: thanks!
[22:45] <TheMusicGuy> Area300: Well, when you mention my name, Pidgin chimes to tell me, so I know my main volume is fine.
[22:45] <hectorpal> bye people! Ubuntu go!

[22:46] <perillux> I hate samba with a passion!
[22:47] <dr_willis> perillux,  i got no issues with samba.. its with how MS seesm to constantly change things with visa/xp/confuse things.. that i have issues with.
[22:47] <perillux> dr_willis: it never works for me, I've tried everything!
[22:47] <lifenova> Another question; I'm trying to resize my windows partition (winxp: ntfs), but I have an error icon next to it in gparted. Clicking on information gives me this, at the bottom: "Warning! Unable to read the contents of this file system! Because of this some operations may be unavailable." It's not mounted, I've checked.
[22:47] <Gerinych> does anyone know how to fix this error: "Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself." It appears when I boot ubuntu
[22:48] <Area300> TheMusicGuy: hmm my box is down right now or i could tell you lol .. i think it was under options or somehting like that look for play back and it should be hmm thats where i get fuzzy ... your sound card i bleave but not positive
[22:48] <dr_willis> perillux,  I have few issues with it.. other then some quirks with vista/xp at the moment.   I  do tend to follow some procedures to keep things simple.. Install samba server.. edit smb.conf to set workgroup. enable home shares.. give each user  a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' and on the window machines I also
[22:48] <dr_willis> perillux,  give each windows users the identical password.  - That seems to cure a lot of issues
[22:49] <TheMusicGuy> Area300: There's nothing like that in the preferences.
[22:49] <Area300> TheMusicGuy: i would think that there website would have some more indepth info on it.

[22:49] <n8tuser> unluckier -> drwxrwxrwt
[22:49] <jrib> unluckier: +t  as n8tuser said :)
[22:51] <dr_willis> perillux,  that may be the whole issue then
[22:51] <dr_willis> perillux,  ive noticed that windows dosent like to save some info/reconnect without users havving passwords
[22:51] <fariq> selam
[22:51] <dr_willis> perillux,  you may want to check out 'guest' shares in the samba docs.  There may be some info on getting around that in there.
[22:52] <TheMusicGuy> Rythmbox says "could not connect to socket", and later it says "Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not open device /dev/radio0"
[22:52] <archman_> guys, can you name some rapidshare manager with premium support?
[22:52] <ikonia> archman_: thats offtopic here
[22:52] <jrib> archman_: wget
[22:52] <perillux> dr_willis: ok i'll check it out
[22:53] <bogdan> is it possible to increase the wubi partition to more than 30 gigs?
[22:53] <archman_> jrib: tnx!
[22:53] <jrib> archman_: you probably want to google "wget rapidshare"
[22:54] <Flannel> bogdan: I don't think there's a limit put on it; but I may be ignorant.
[22:54] <dr_willis> perillux,  just dont ask me why my Vista Machines cant see each other.. but both can access the linux samba server. :) Been fighting that for a week
[22:54] <Jack_Sparrow> bogdan, Please read the wubi faq and understand how it differs from a regular partition install and you will understand why I wont use nor recommend wubi as a method of installation
[22:54] <Gerinych> does anyone know how to fix this error: "Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself." It appears when I boot ubuntu, my nvidia drivers are busted and i have no idea how to fix them
[22:55] <rww> bogdan: Go to http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html and scroll down to the "Resizing virtual disks..." section near the bottom. It's a little complicated, but doable.
[22:55] <bogdan> rww: okay, thanks.
[22:55] <ito_> hi. quick cli question. how do I ssh using an interface eth1 or higher? My pc wont let me ssh into a computer on the same network usin my eth1 plug
[22:55] <n8tuser> dr_willis -> why does your vista machines do not see each other?  hehehe
[22:55] <bogdan> Jack_Sparrow: I'm not using it permanently, it's just that I need to do a task under Linux, and it's easier this way.
[22:55] <Kai_wp> I'm trying to get dual-moniters working on my Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron installation with an nVidia 8600 GT XXX. I have the latest nVidia binary drivers installed. And I read on the forums that it should be easy to configure with "gksudo nvidia-settings". But when I run it a program starts in the bottom bar with the caption "Starting Administrati..." and then it closes a few seconds later. Does anyone know why it would do this? (Both mon
[22:55] <Kai_wp> plugged in through DVI by the way)
[22:55] <jester-> Gerinych: need to insert refresh video rate in xorg.conf
[22:56] <dr_willis> n8tuser,  i wish i knew.. been having this issue for a fes days now.. Im wonder ing if its not some how getting the wrong names from my samba server. I gotat go downstairs to print. :(
[22:56] <perillux> dr_willis: my windows machines can SEE my samba server (but not connect)  and my samba server can't even see itself  lol
[22:56] <Gerinych> jester-: where exactly
[22:56] <n8tuser> ito_ -> can you elaborate on your network layout? how many nics on same subnet? route table okay?
[22:56] <Jack_Sparrow> bogdan, Not a problem..  We have had two people here in the last 24 hours that lost their ntfs / winodws OS partition while using Wubi.. but the two factors are not completely related
[22:57] <n8tuser> dr_willis -> they each have an ip address? can they ping one another?
[22:57] <dr_willis> perillux,  do NOT NOT NOT 'trust' the gnome file manager to see shares/servers - ive found that it is very probelmatic in broswing/exploreing the shares/servers -  It wont see anything.. i type in the full url   to the fileserver/share  - an Poof it sees it then.
[22:57] <dr_willis> n8tuser,  yes. :) they can also access the fileserver fine.

[23:01] <Mallen_> a basic college 150 C++ class assignment
[23:01] <Gerinych> jester-: ill try that, thanks
[23:01] <dr_willis> Mallen_,  you really need to be more specific and proper in your terms...      You are wanting a C++ COmpiler?
[23:01] <dr_willis> 'c++ program' is really really vague.
[23:02] <hoboman> and or, does anyone know why i cant add 'screens and graphics' (displayconfig-gtk) to the apps other menu in ibex, why it doesnt work? i was considering to install ibex but i cant fix my resolution from being too big unless i get that settings controller open.

[23:03] <Stieffers> To re-enable: /etc/init.d/kdm restart
[23:03] <Stieffers> If you're running KDE.

[23:06] <hoboman> i tried to find out by running gksu displayconfig-gtk .... however it didnt load under ibex whats with that

[23:11] <dr_willis> _S_S,  you could make a script that waits, then kills the first programs pid.
[23:12] <dr_willis> _S_S,  dependng ont h program.. this may be VERY bad ideas :)
[23:12] <TheMusicGuy> Bachiir: You might try changing the default action to perform when inserting a CD to "do nothing"

How can keep grub from interrupting my reinstallation of XP?
[23:12] <Area300> when i add BusID to xorg.conf should it look like this BusID      "PCI:04:00.0"    ???

[23:13] <dr_willis> BiscuitMan,  grub shouldent be messing with XP at all.. You sould of been best to let XP do all its stuff befor you even started with ubuntu however.
[23:13] <newserbunto> jp_sf: apparently I hadn't, let me try it again
[23:14] <jp_sf> newserbunto,: wait
[23:14] <newserbunto> ok
[23:14] <newserbunto> jp_sf: any other thoughts on what I might have missed?
[23:14] <Area300> Jack_Sparrow: yes it is the primary display.
[23:14] <jp_sf> newserbunto: you may want to try to locate all your nvidia* that are on your system then
[23:14] <TheMusicGuy> Bachiir: I'm not really sure. I remember seeing it before but I can't find it now.
[23:15] <Slart> _S_S: "ping www.google.com& sleep 10 && pkill ping" works
[23:15] <newserbunto> jp_sf: and remove them?
[23:15] <TheMusicGuy> Bachiir: Try nautilus preferences
[23:15] <TheMusicGuy> and also System > Preferences
[23:15] <jp_sf> newmember: I would suggest to install the drivers (install the x64 bits right) in console mode you know how to go in console ?

[23:15] <BiscuitMan> dr_willis: what?  I should never have bothered with ubuntu in the first place?
[23:15] <dr_willis> BiscuitMan,  also Windows really should be in a Primary partituion.. from what im reading about Grub Error 17 at --->  http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#Common_Booting_Errors_and_Some_Possible
[23:16] <newserbunto> jp_sf: was that directed at me or newmember?
[23:16] <dr_willis> BiscuitMan,   Instll windows to a Primary partition on the hard drive.. get it done and all set up.. then  install ubuntu.
[23:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Area300, You found that with a command something like this right..  lspci | grep -i vga ..  Sorry .. asking for my own benefit here
[23:16] <jp_sf> newserbunto: I mean install the drivers in console instead doing it while running X especially if the nvdia are loaded
[23:16] <gpled> anyone know how to setup 4 monitors on two cards?  i lost my #2 monitor. not sure why
[23:16] <newserbunto> jp_sf: I've been dropping into console and stopping X, then installing it via the commandline

[23:17] <eighty4> I'm trying to compile netatalk (for ssl support) and get that I'm missing "quilt" but I cant install that due to  that quilt doesn't have a installationcandidate. Ideas?
[23:17] <Gerinych> jester-: i just tried that, but it didnt work. instead, i ran an nvidia driver i got from their website with the recovery console and everything seems to work now.
[23:17] <jp_sf> newmember: good, check if kdm is not running or do a sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[23:17] <Bachiir> After setting those parameters in nautilus, I inserted the blank again, and nautilus crashed.
[23:18] <jp_sf> newserbunto:  good, check if kdm is not running or do a sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[23:18] <newserbunto> jp_sf: I use gnome, already stopped it ;)

[23:19] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: alright, installing it again
[23:20] <Gerinych> restricted drivers manager wants me to install something called "nvidia". I don't trust it because i finally got 3d acceleration to work and it might screw it up
[23:20] <eighty4> Pici: I'm starting to think my sources is broke in some way...
[23:20] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: still getting the 'Failed to load module "type1"' error
[23:20] <Slart> Gerinych: if you've already got 3d acceleration you don't need to install it again from the restricted manager
[23:21] <diffNewuser> Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module
[23:21] <Pici> eighty4: I think so too. Can you pastebin your sources.list file?
[23:21] <Gerinych> slart: why does it ask for it then?
[23:21] <mfrood> hello
[23:21] <Slart> Gerinych: it doesn't know what drivers you are using.. you've installed the drivers manually, right?
[23:22] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: nice x error you should see what is in type1
[23:22] <Gerinych> slart: i used recovery console to install 180.22 from nvidia.com
[23:22] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: where can I look it up?
[23:23] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: in your xorg.conf
[23:23] <Area300> Jack_Sparrow: woo hooo ... i got it ... two nvidia 8600's 4 monitors ... I think this is gona work
[23:23] <Slart> Gerinych: yup.. then the restricted drivers manager doesn't know that you already have drivers that work..
[23:23] <Slart> Gerinych: just ignore it
[23:23] <Gerinych> slart: i would think that it would ask to install nvidia-glx-96, nvidia-glx-173, and nvidia-glx-177, but it just says "nvidia
[23:23] <Area300> Should i run 4 x screens or twinViews ?
[23:23] <Slart> Gerinych: it will probably chose one of those

[23:24] <mfrood> can someone tell me how to configure gnome to auto arrange icons on the right side of the desktop instead of the left?
[23:24] <lfaraone> Hi, xawtv froze, I killed the process then used xkill to kill the GUI, but now my webcam is still locked/the acitivity light is on
[23:24] <lfaraone> Any idea how I can fix it?
[23:24] <Gerinych> one more problem, guys. User Switcher crashed once and now it doesn't want to show up

[23:24] <cableroy> Hi, suddenly my applets has moved away from the top bar and is on the bottom bar but not attached to it, the applets are on my desktop, some are, but not all. Why is that?
[23:25] <TheMusicGuy> Bachiir: I tried putting in a blank CD while running Fluxbox and got basically the same results as you.
[23:25] <eighty4> Pici: haven't actually removed anything more then the cd source. But have added a couple of lines
[23:25] <TheMusicGuy> Bachiir: Then I tried it in Gnome. I still go the cdrom message from dmesg, but nautilus doesn't crash or freeze.
[23:26] <perillux> why can't I even access my own SAMBA shares?
[23:26] <TheMusicGuy> Bachiir: I'm guessing nautilus requires some gnome service to be running in order to handle blank cds
[23:27] <TheMusicGuy> Bachiir: I don't know what that service is, however
[23:27] <Area300> Jack_Sparrow: ok i have ubuntu seeing both video cards and all 4 monitors ... why is it telling me there all crts
[23:27] <sidney> i finally got ubuntu to read ntfs
[23:27] <TheMusicGuy> Area300: Anything plugged into a VGA port appears as a CRT, even if its flatpanel
[23:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Area300, nvidia-settings should let you correct that..
[23:28] <Bachiir> Thanks, Musicguy.
[23:28] <sidney> i need a link for network setup
[23:29] <tony__> I set up OpenSSHServer on my desktop, and I can SSH into it from itself, but not from my laptop on the same network. It responds to ping, but "ssh uname@192.168.1.100" shows nothing...even after waiting forever. They're both Ubuntu.
[23:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Area300, as long as it is displaying correctly not a big deal
[23:29] <Jack_Sparrow> sidney, wifi or wired
[23:29] <Area300> Jack_Sparrow: cool
[23:30] <sidney> wired
[23:30] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: hmm, couldn't find that module.  any ideas where I could get it?

[23:31] <Jack_Sparrow> jef_untu, Were you able to get to the live desktop?
[23:31] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: well my first reaction would have been to try to comment it from the xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf but what kind of other message you have after this one ?

[23:33] <Received> Anyone got any experiance running WoW on ubuntu?
[23:33] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: could you do a dmesg | grep NVRM

[23:33] <relisys> i have a script that runs as a cron job every night that zips up my /var/www directory to the local hard drive and then copies it to a mounted samba share drive which is on my windows xp box.  the ubuntu server is a p4 3.6 ghz with 512 mb ram.  when the file size started reaching around 250 MB, the process started intermittently dieing with the error: input/output error (5).  i have tried using both the cp command and rsync, both have had the

[23:34] <eighty4> Pici: and no worries. As long as I get help I'm happy. Thanks!
[23:34] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: interesting, it keeps complaining that I have 177.82 drivers installed
[23:34] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: ahhhh it is still there that's why
[23:34] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: rather, the kernel module
[23:34] <eighty4> Pici: strange, haven't touched those. Never would have found it. Thanks again :)
[23:34] <relisys> thank you flood bot, but i as acting quite to the contrary of your accusation
[23:34] <relisys> ;)
[23:35] <eseven73>  6 lines relisys , FloodBot1 starts having fits after 3 :)
[23:35] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: you might want to purge them
[23:35] <relisys> he he, sorry
[23:35] <relisys> it was just a single message though!!  any idea on my issue?
[23:35] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: all restricted drivers?
[23:35] <Pici> relisys: just ignore it, it may have been a lag issue.
[23:35] <robtp> anyone able to answer that question quickly?
[23:36] <robtp> swap: necessary with 4GiB, and primary or logical partitions, or does it matter?
[23:36] <Guest65394> Anyone have any experience with installing PHPmotion(And all the stuff it needs) on ubuntu x86 desktop that would be able to guide me through it?
[23:36] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: at least now we know why it is not working because you have still the old modules so I would do the foloowings:
[23:36] <tinka> While trying to use vertical split on gnu screen I get:Your termcap does not specify how to change your terminals width to 132, any ideas?
[23:37] <rww> robtp: Not really necessary, but nice to have if you have the space for it. Doesn't matter whether it's primary or logical.
[23:37] <harwood> Hi, I am having some problems using perl and mysql on intrepid, anyone had any experience?

[23:37] <robtp> with /swap at end?
[23:38] <rww> robtp: I don't think that matters either, but that's how I did it and it's working fine.
[23:38] <robtp> ok, thanks
[23:38] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: well in fact I wonder  if you could install the latest with aptitude and then remove it and then run the NVIDIA*.run

[23:44] <harwood> are you using the graphical "samba server configuration tool@" or the config files?
[23:44] <jef_untu1> i dunno where i was...like netspplit something... :(
[23:44] <perillux> harwood: when i got to Network > WORKGROUP it shows up empty.  But if I go there on a windows machine i can see the samba server
[23:44] <jef_untu1> Jack_Sparrow:  I have 55GB unallocated       install step  4 of 7 is "prepare partition" but the buttons "new partition", "create partition" , "delete partition", etc are all unavailable

[23:44] <Jack_Sparrow> jef_untu1, One sec
[23:44] <Hok> Hey I had a question about the installation of Ubuntu
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> jef_untu1, To get live cd to show your missing hard drive this often helps..At start or install press F6 and add all_generic_ide before the "--"
[23:45] <robtp> Hok: shoot
[23:45] <perillux> harwood: config files   smb.conf
[23:45] <robtp> Hok: meaning ask :)
[23:45] <mizipzor> what is the package if i want the sqlite headers?
[23:45] <Hok> robtp: OK, so its wierd. Sometimes my LiveDisk works
[23:45] <mavsman4457> Is it possible to assign different backgrounds for each display when I have dual monitors?
[23:45] <rww> robtp: The DOS Master Boot Record system can only have four primary partitions. If you need more than four partitions, you can use one of those primary spaces to house a sort of box containing a bunch of extended partitions. Windows cares whether it's on primary or extended; Linux, to my knowledge, doesn't (though I guess I could be wrong about that).
[23:45] <Hok> robtp: Sometimes, I get a scrolling black box
[23:45] <harwood> use the GUI tool its much easier, samba can be a pain
[23:45] <comicinker> mizipzor: apt-cach search sqlite dev ?
[23:46] <Mallen_> robtp:  chmod: cannot access `150': No such file or directory
[23:46] <perillux> harwood: I don't have a gui tool
[23:46] <brk3> Jack_Sparrow: i dont really want to downgrade everything, just the packages that changed to the jaunty versions
[23:46] <robtp> Hok: this is after you choose to boot ubuntu, or before?

[23:46] <Bachiir> Has anyone taken a peek at my cdrecord errors?
[23:46] <Hok> robtp: Its after
[23:46] <harwood> apt-get install system-config-samba
[23:46] <perillux> harwood: brb, gonna restart and see if it helps
[23:46] <robtp> chmod +x /path/to\ spaceishere/file
[23:46] <brk3> Pici: no, im running intrepid but enabled a jaunty repository
[23:46] <dr_willis> rww,  yep. Windows wants primaries.. Linux can be on either
[23:46] <harwood> sudo apt-get install system-config-samba
[23:46] <comicinker> mizipzor: brings up libsqlite3-dev
[23:47] <mizipzor> comicinker: that got it, thanks, wierd that it didnt show up on the websearch
[23:47] <rww> dr_willis: thanks :)
[23:47] <robtp> Hok: is your disk good? did you check it?
[23:47] <mizipzor> comicinker: yea, i just installed that
[23:47] <robtp> dr_willis, rww: thanks
[23:47] <brk3> Pici: i only upgrade the bluez packages but in turn it messed up something else
[23:47] <Pici> brk3: You would have to uninstall and reinstall all the packages that were touched, and even then your system still may not work.
[23:47] <dr_willis> rww,  i tend to use all primaries - if i can. the default installer i think tends to just set up 1 primary
[23:47] <Hok> robtp: Well I used to have windows on it, but then I kept getting errors when I tried to boot windoze. I found ubuntu and tried it on a different computer and it worked, and I was trying to fix this one.
[23:47] <rww> dr_willis: yeah, I have two partitions (/ and swap), both primary
[23:47] <DigitalFiz> whats the dual heads command
[23:48] <robtp> dr_willis: and the default installer sets up one logical /swap?
[23:48] <brk3> Pici: is my most probable action to have to do a complete reinstall? :(
[23:48] <dimm> can somebody help to me? i cant install flash player
[23:48] <comicinker> mizipzor: did you try apt-get build-dep PROGRAMNAME already?
[23:48] <dr_willis> robtp,  yes. i belive ti does
[23:48] <Hok> robtp: Do you want me to check anything?
[23:48] <Pici> brk3: That would be the easiest.
[23:48] <rww> robtp: yeah. The default installer puts swap on an extended partition.
[23:48] <brk3> Pici: what is the jaunty apt line.. maybe if i add it back in and do a complete upgrade..
[23:48] <dr_willis> robtp,  i tend to do 4 primaries.  (Windows) (Windows Data) (Linux) (swap)
[23:48] <robtp> Hok: i'm not too sure what to suggest, first make sure the disk burned correctly with the built-in tool
[23:48] <mizipzor> comicinker: no, i just ran sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
[23:48] <mtesm> Anyone have any experience with installing PHPmotion(And all the stuff it needs) on ubuntu x86 desktop that would be able to guide me through it?
[23:48] <robtp> Hok: i have to run now, if the disk is good its something with your hardware configuration
[23:49] <Hok> robtp: Yes, I tried that, it is fine.
[23:49] <jef_untu1> Jack_Sparrow:  while booting after GRUB?
[23:49] <mostyfriedman> hey everyone, i need help connecting C# with mysql, i already installed mysql connector/net but i'm still getting an error
[23:49] <mavsman4457> Can I change the position of avant-window-navigator, like on the side or on the bottom of a different screen while i'm using dualscreens?
[23:49] <Hok> robtp: ok...
[23:49] <robtp> Hok: good luck
[23:49] <Hok> Anyone else wanna help me?
[23:49] <brk3> can anyone tell me the line to add to apt to upgrade to the jaunty packages..?
[23:49] <Jack_Sparrow> jef_untu1, Are you trying to do a fresh install?  You were booting livecd right
[23:50] <xp_prg> is there an ubuntuserver channel?
[23:50] <Pici> brk3: This may be one of the cases where, if you don't know, it may not be a good idea to do so.
[23:50] <Jack_Sparrow> brk3, /join #Ubuntu+1
[23:50] <rww> xp_prg: #ubuntu-server
[23:50] <comicinker> mizipzor: I just wanted to add that apt-get build-dep will download most of all needed development-packages of a program
[23:50] <Pici> xp_prg: #ubuntu-server exists, but we handle server questions here as well.
[23:50] <Jack_Sparrow> brk3, that is a bad idea
[23:50] <brk3> Pici: yes but im screwed at the moment anyway
[23:50] <brk3> Jack_Sparrow: i dont have much else to try
[23:50] <brk3> Jack_Sparrow: other than full reinstall
[23:50] <harwood> #ubuntu-server
[23:50] <mizipzor> i see, that may come in handy, so it would be "sudo apt-get build-dep libsqlite3-dev"?
[23:50] <Bachiir> So I tried getting around my nautilus/blank-CD woes (mentioned earlier, can repeat if you missed that) by running a terminal-based burning program, cdrecord. It, too, has failed: http://debian.pastebin.com/d8dd572e
[23:50] <xp_prg> I am going crazy trying to get my django python and just a simple cgi-bin to work, the django python overrides everything in my httpd.conf
[23:51] <xp_prg> I am on ubuntu-server 8.10 with apache2
[23:51] <xp_prg> can anyone help me please?
[23:51] <eseven73>  !enter | xp_prg
[23:51] <Hok> I have a question about the Ubuntu install. I've had Windoze on my computer, but then it stopped working. Then I tried to install Ubuntu, and I get to the Disk Partioning section, and I press Guided. When I get to the installer it gets to 5% (on the second bar) then it gives me an error about writing the Ex3 filesystem. Anyone help?
[23:51] <adrian_> have the fiesty multiverse repositories been removed? i keep getting atp-get 404 errors
[23:51] <jef_untu1> Jack_Sparrow: yes liveCD, the desktop iso file mounted and copied on a partition and iv booted into it now
[23:51] <Adam_> if i have a pc which i want to install linux on (there is currently no OS on there) and i have a new graphics card to put in the box - do i need to install the card first, or can i just boot the machine with linux and configure it then?
[23:52] <comicinker> Bachiir: you should use dev=/dev/dvd or something like that
[23:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Hok, You cant put ubuntu on ntfs if that is what you were trying to do
[23:52] <xp_prg> here is my config:  http://pastebin.com/d4751a09d
[23:52] <brk3> ok one last question.. what is a good form of cp to back up my home dir
[23:52] <WebcamWonder> !compiling
[23:52] <eseven73> !backup
[23:53] <Jack_Sparrow> jef_untu1, I cant help you with that type of an install from inside linux
[23:53] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: looks like purging those files has done something interesting, i'm getting all sorts of errors during the install now
[23:53] <runderwo> Adam_: with ubuntu, you should be able to pop a new one in with no problems, provided it has open-source drivers
[23:53] <Bachiir> Oh, I was just using what cdrecord -scanbus gave me.
[23:53] <Hok> Jack_Sparrow: I was putting it on a desktop computer... I beleive it was FAT.
[23:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Hok, Cant do that either
[23:53] <Hok> Jack_Sparrow: Then what do I do?
[23:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Hok, ext3 is what you need or should use
[23:54] <Adam_> runderwo, thanks :) - the box told me i needed windows and i was worried i would have to have windows, install the drivers and blah blah blah. i didnt know if the bios needed to have something done to it to recognise that device was plugged into the board
[23:54] <Hok> Jack_Sparrow: OK So what do I do when I get to the partitioning section?
[23:54] <runderwo> Adam_: not usually, is it an ati or nvidia card?
[23:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Hok, is there a wndows install you are trying to dual boot with?
[23:54] <Adam_> nvidia
[23:54] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: and it seems to be working!  fantastic
[23:54] <jef_untu1> Jack_Sparrow: ok, but can you help me installing any linux from any other way if I dont have CD or USB key (only DVDs and USB HD) and my internal HD ^
[23:54] <runderwo> Adam_: nvidia takes a little bit of work to get 3d running, but 2d should come up with no problems.
[23:55] <Jack_Sparrow> jef_untu1, No..  Sorry
[23:55] <Hok> Jack_Sparrow: No, my windoze stopped working and said it was missing I file when it tried to boot.
[23:55] <jef_untu1> ok :(
[23:55] <runderwo> Adam_: the caveat being if it's a brand new chip that the ubuntu release didn't yet support.
[23:55] <jef_untu1> thanks anyway
[23:55] <Brack102> PC3200 ram backwards compatible with PC133?
[23:55] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: in console mode
[23:55] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: don't forget to stop your gdm if you switch in console mode
[23:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Hok, If you have nothing on the drive, tell the partitioner to use the whole drive and let it do its' thing
[23:56] <Adam_> runderwo, ok great! i will pop the device into the MB and get to work when i wake up tomorrow :)
[23:56] <runderwo> Adam_: g/l
[23:56] <Hok> Jack_Sparrow: I'm pretty sure theres nothing on the drive. I never removed windows though... It might still be there.
[23:56] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: the drivers appear to be working : )
[23:56] <Adam_> runderwo, thanks for the assistance - i was planning on installing opensuse11.1 but the guy in that forum were of no help to me whatsoever! :)
[23:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Hok, the partitioner will create and format the new partition for you
[23:56] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: good sorry I was stuck on a laggy server
[23:57] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: don't sweat it
[23:57] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: so now you have the 180.22 ?
[23:57] <Hok> Jack_Sparrow: OK... Then why won't it work when I try that?
[23:57] <runderwo> Adam_: well, you'll soon find out if I was of any help :)
[23:57] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: or the 180 ?
[23:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Hok, are you telling the partitioning part of the program to use the whole drive
[23:57] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: I think 180.22, although to be honest I'm not sure how to check
[23:57] <perillux> can someone help me figure out what is wrong with my samba configuration?  I posted my smb.conf here  http://paste.ubuntu.com/105374/  I can't connect to my share with any computer.  Not even this one!
[23:57] <Adam_> runderwo, i will be back like a little irc troll if you cause me any issues! :P
[23:57] <jp_sf> diffNewuser:  dmesg | grep NVRM
[23:57] <Hok> Jack_Sparrow: Well, I just pressed Guided partitioning. I didn't change anything.
[23:58] <runderwo> Adam_: <g>
[23:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Hok, NOT guided..
[23:58] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: 180.22 drivers are indeed loaded!
[23:58] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: cool glad I could help
[23:58] <fat_rat> whois Adam_
[23:58] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: thank you so much, very little hair pulled out over this one!
[23:58] <Hok> Jack_Sparrow: Oh alright. I tried that too but it said there was no root folder. I'm not really sure about what to do once I get to the manual part.
[23:59] <jp_sf> diffNewuser: that the beauty of the community isn't it
[23:59] <diffNewuser> jp_sf: it's a good thing
[23:59] <Jack_Sparrow> hok YOu dont need manual either.. there are two options left.. one is use entire disk
[23:59] <runderwo> perillux: is the client NT-based?
[23:59] <Hok> Jack_Sparrow: Sorry about that
