[00:02] <johnny2> es
[00:03] <oCean_> smokie: if you're not using special characters, the " are not really needed. However in the example I used the "\c", that does require the quotes

[00:08] <sisterblue> flashplayer10 is not finding my logitech pro 4000 webcam -- i am using ubuntu 8.10 -- can anyone help ??
[00:08] <drash> Jimmey: torrent speed is a very complex issue, you could experiment tweaking the maximum peers limits, activate peer-exchange etc... does transmission report your port as opened in the prefs pane (network)
[00:08] <Jack_Sparrow> sisterblue Did you check to see if your cam is supported
[00:08] <soreau> sisterblue: Does any program find your webcam?
[00:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !webcam
[00:09] <FHABIO> ENTAO

[00:09] <sisterblue> Jack sparrow -- not sure where to look for that --
[00:09] <Jimmey> drash, it does, yeah. Maybe it's something to do with my network card because to be honest, it never used to run this slow in my old computer...Do you know how I might check that?
[00:10] <koto> self
[00:10] <Jack_Sparrow> sisterblue I posted the link right after your question
[00:10] <soreau> LakesProse: du -s -c -h <dir>
[00:10] <Rencx> Jack_Sparrow, ty for program it is grate i check out som small videos it made them wery good... :)
[00:10] <snarkster> !automount
[00:10] <LakesProse> soreau: wow ok! thanks
[00:10] <drash> jimmey: hang on, i have a link somewhere that has a few things you could check, brb
[00:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Rencx Glad it helped, sorry I didnt have time to help you with it more than I did
[00:10] <soreau> LakesProse: Actually, that tells you the size of the contents, not the space left
[00:11] <sisterblue> soreau yes program does find webcam using camorama
[00:11] <soreau> LakesProse: To see the space for everything do df -h
[00:11] <oCean_> LakesProse: and 'free' tells you about memory, not disk space
[00:11] <sisterblue> Jack Sparrow  checking out url
[00:11] <Rencx> Jack_Sparrow, can we talk in some place about one language problem?
[00:12] <dpawe3l> sisterblue read my linkk it WILL help u
[00:12] <soreau> sisterblue: See the links ubottu gave https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[00:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Rencx Not right now, I need some time to get some things done
[00:12] <Jack_Sparrow> dpawe3l agreed
[00:12] <sirjoebob> hello all. anyone know of a cli client for p2p networks
[00:12] <soreau> sisterblue: Or the one dpawe3l gave you
[00:12] <sirjoebob> ?
[00:12] <Rencx> Jack_Sparrow, write me laiter
[00:13] <soreau> sirjoebob: What are you trying to do exactly?
[00:13] <sisterblue> Jack Sparrow/soreau yes looks like the logitech quickcam pro 400o is supported but under the driver has pwc?  listed
[00:13] <Hansum> When I boot ubuntu, i get a black screen -_-
[00:13] <saharchuk> can someone help me?
[00:13] <saharchuk> can someone help me?
[00:13] <Hansum> How do fix that?
[00:14] <sirjoebob> soreau, I have a server at home running Ubuntu server edition and want to be able to download files from networks like Limewire without launching a hefty GUI application. I already have transmissioncli for torrents but wondered if there was a cli program like limewire
[00:14] <kristjin76> Hello folks, thx in advance for your advice. I've got 2 ATI 4850 1GB cards in crossfire on my system, but so far, I've been unable to activate crossfire.  It's just not an option in catalyst control center.  Does anyone know if crossfire is supported in ubuntu or not?  I have searched for an answer on google, but have been unable to find an answer.
[00:15] <sensayte> is the "Only allow local connections" option broken for Remote Desktop? netstat only shows it listening on ip6-localhost:5900 so i can't ssh tunnel in
[00:15] <oCean_> !ask > saharchuk
[00:15] <sirjoebob> Does anyone know how to use p2p networks over cli?
[00:15] <sisterblue> soreau  i read the community/webcam page which was forwarded both by you and Jack Sparrow
[00:15] <_jas> is there a file somewhere that determines the fontsize of the virtual terminals?
[00:15] <_jas> mine seem to be scrolling off the screen
[00:15] <saharchuk> can someone help me?
[00:16] <drash> Jimmey: Still looking for the link, but in the mean time, you could check your /etc/sysctl.conf, i believe ubuntu's defaults still use dsl connection speed settings. If you've got broadband you can tweak those settings...
[00:16] <puff> Hey, i just installed the LAMP tools, specifically sudo aptitude install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server-5.0

[00:16] <saharchuk> can u answer me how im whois myself from QuakeNet to this server?
[00:16] <LakesProse> yet when type in fdisk -l, it only lists two drives
[00:16] <puff> On a vanilla ibex install.
[00:16] <saharchuk> can u answer me how im whois myself from QuakeNet to this server?
[00:16] <Jimmey> drash, thanks I'll look.
[00:16] <drash> Jimmey: ok, i'll get the link in the mean time
[00:16] <dpawe3l> sirjoebob try amulecli
[00:17] <sirjoebob> i just looked that one up and am installing it now. thanks for the tip
[00:17] <puff> And then I restarted apache, then installed a php app.  Everything went fine, and when I ask for http://localhost/beta1/index.php it works fine, but when I ask for http://localhost/beta1 firefox tells me apache wants me to download a PHTML file.
[00:17] <kristjin76> Anybody know anything on that?
[00:18] <\kira> When I start up ubuntu, grub freezes at stage1.5 and reports error 18. The grub website says this is a issue were "Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS" even though I havnt changed much. Someone else was using the system, but it froze half way through loading ubuntu, then she did a hard restart, and the GRUB problem appeared. Any help?
[00:18] <jNoxx> Has anybody seen jim_p?
[00:18] <jNoxx> I have lot of problems with my radeon hd3470
[00:18] <kristjin76> Sorry if I'm asking too frequently.  Can anyone provide me with info about crossfire in ubuntu?
[00:19] <oCean_> !info crossfire

[00:20] <jNoxx> My radeon Vista edition works fine with 8.04
[00:20] <jNoxx> But vista (
[00:20] <jNoxx> hd 3470
[00:20] <kristjin76> Hey, jNoxx: have you completely rebooted since you installed catalyst?
[00:20] <jNoxx> Yes
[00:20] <kristjin76> My CCC wouldn't start until I did so.
[00:20] <jNoxx> I have no problems in my 8.04
[00:20] <jNoxx> But 8.10
[00:21] <kristjin76> I seem to be able to get into CCC, but there is no crossfire option for my two 4850 1GB  cards.
[00:21] <Mood> !info crossfire

[00:22] <dpawe3l> ubottu package not ,source yes

[00:22] <jNoxx> Only vista.
[00:22] <drash> Jimmey: here you go http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2008/05/04/howto-set-up-hardy-for-speed/ .. you'll have to download the HTML version locally to get to the tweak concerning broadband connection settings
[00:22] <CoJaBo-Vista> Is there an up-to-date guide on how to install Ubuntu on software RAID?
[00:23] <jNoxx> So, with my videocard its impossible
[00:23] <wolter> can i run my existing vista installation from a virtual box?
[00:23] <jNoxx> But i can not understand
[00:23] <jNoxx> Why it works in 8.04?
[00:23] <sisterblue> depaw31  --  so do i need to find a pwc driver?  I am a newbie and do not fully understand the posted instructions? (sorry)
[00:23] <jNoxx> 7.4 x-server works correct in my 8.04/
[00:23] <kristjin76> Well, one more time, I'll ask.
[00:23] <dxdemetriou> can I have a user that can use update manager but to cannot have full access to the system like mounting and modify internal partitions? like limited user that can make updates and install programs?
[00:23] <Mood> crossfire graphics look like ultima iv circa 1986
[00:24] <kristjin76> HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL ANSWER ME THIS TIME:  Can anyone provide me with information on enabling crossfire-x for dual ati 4850 1gb cards?
[00:24] <kristjin76> Mood:  I'm not asking about a game.
[00:24] <dpawe3l> sisterblue, just type it in your terminal, this is step by step instruction with explanation
[00:25] <Mood> kristjin76: i'll ask the obvious: did you not find support on google?
[00:25] <kristjin76> I didn't.
[00:25] <sisterblue> dpaw31  ok I will try them -- and they will work for 8.10 also?
[00:25] <kristjin76> I searched for crossfire in linux, crossfire ubuntu, etc.
[00:25] <dpawe3l> sisterblue : install build-essential first
[00:25] <kristjin76> But nothing gave any clear answers.
[00:26] <Mood> you can keep trying in this chan, or you may want to try ##hardware
[00:26] <kristjin76> JNoxx says it isn't supported by the ati drivers and probably won't be.
[00:26] <kristjin76> Thanks, mood.
[00:26] <jNoxx> ATI said
[00:26] <Mood> is it a driver issue you think?
[00:26] <jNoxx> That released
[00:26] <sisterblue> dpawe31  is that what i enter in the terminal then first  install build-essential    ??
[00:26] <jNoxx> But it is false)
[00:26] <Mood> if so, you may want to try ndiswrapper w/ the windows drivers
[00:26] <dpawe3l> sisterblue :please write what gives lsusb in terminal
[00:27] <redvamp128> kristjin76:  I did find this but you probably read it as well -- no guarantee though -- Ultimate Edition Forum • View topic - How To: ATI & Crossfire in Linux <http://forumubuntusoftware.info/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp;t=2336>
[00:27] <Shakedown> So if the header files (.h) are in usr/include, where are the corresponding source files (.cpp) located?
[00:27] <Mood> kristjin76: do you use ndiswrapper?
[00:27] <jNoxx> My friend use radeon nore than 10 years
[00:27] <comicinker1> I just changed the partitions on my harddisk. even after rebooting "df" shows me the old diskspace, other than "fdisk -l" shows me. please help, what shallt I do to "really" partition the harddisk
[00:27] <comicinker1> ?
[00:27] <sisterblue> oh   i ran that command for the before    it came up with this as the device info for the logitech pro 4000 that is installed    046d:08b2
[00:27] <jNoxx> He have no ideas, how crossfire must works with HD videos)
[00:28] <kristjin76> No, I haven't actually tried running any games yet.
[00:28] <dpawe3l> sisterblue : type in terminal sudo apt-get install build-essential firs

[00:29] <kristjin76> Sure, I've got them, but I can't imagine trying to pull the windows driver into linux.
[00:29] <Az> is there any differences between packages on the ubuntu minimal cli install and ubuntu server cli only install?

[00:30] <ango> no fun installing ubuntu on this machine :(
[00:31] <Flannel> Az: Mmm, If you just use the defaults on the server install, you'll wind up with the server kernel.  The minimal CD/alternate CD gives you the generic kernel by default.  (linux-server and linux-generic, respectively)
[00:31] <kristjin76> Right on.
[00:31] <kristjin76> I really wish Linux were easier to use.
[00:31] <ango> freezes on loading screen
[00:31] <Az> ah, theres a difference between the kernels?
[00:31] <Adjo> i just clicked install inside windows ^^
[00:31] <dpawe3l> sisterblue it seems to be, u have this allready
[00:32] <sisterblue> dpawe31 ok  what should I do next?
[00:32] <Flannel> Az: The server kernel is tuned differently, yes.  It also has less 'regular person' hardware support
[00:32] <Az> ah yep: 2.6.27-7-server
[00:32] <Az> 2.6.27-9-generic
[00:32] <Flannel> Az: Of course, you can convert one into the other (or vice versa) relatively easily.
[00:32] <Az> should of checked that one :)

[00:43] <Rencx> Is anyone now why i dont have sound on RUneScape it is java based game.. Can it be because of pulseaudio remove?
[00:43] <redvamp128> trokep: correction open folder -- it is possible that the open with for a folder may be open with your media player
[00:43] <jp_sf> bsquidwrd: all running Linux or a mixed environment ?
[00:44] <CoJaBo-Vista> Jeruvy: Already found that on Google, I got to "You now have a list of your hard drives and your RAID drives."... Well... I didn't, so couldn't go any further. Any ideas?
[00:44] <jp_sf> !samba | bsquidwrd
[00:44] <bsquidwrd> jp_sf: windows except for me
[00:44] <jp_sf> bsquidwrd: Samba will do
[00:44] <Jeruvy> CoJaBo-Vista: jbod, and give up the raid, or try another card/mobo.  ask ubottu about !hcl may offer better hardware choices
[00:45] <bsquidwrd> what is it?
[00:45] <jmpf> I just recently converted over to a widescreen lcd and my text/some pictures look really grainy; I've installed latest nvidia and glxinfo says it's using direct rendering -- suggestions?
[00:45] <dpawe3l> jmpf change resolution
[00:46] <bsquidwrd> jp_sf: what is samba?
[00:46] <jmpf> dpawe31: besides 8x6 -- I tried the native resolution and it improved some but my card/monitor CAN do better than this
[00:46] <Guest98863> hey.... what is the command i run in ubuntu to get *all* the latest source for the latest kernel?
[00:46] <redvamp128> !samba

[00:53] <Guest36666> i use ubuntu mainly and i just partitioned and installed XP to a 30 gig partition on my hard drive, when i boot it goes straight to xp and i cannot get back into ubuntu can anyone help?
[00:53] <biouser> shouldn't sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start  start pulse audio?
[00:53] <sisterblue> dpaw31 it listed the copy right info and the url to go to after entering the command
[00:53] <mydrmeix> lovely man pages
[00:53] <i-am-the-slime> will it be able to merge two partitions, too?
[00:53] <biouser> sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions
[00:53] <biouser> how can I start it?

[00:54] <biouser> W: sap.c: sendmsg() failed: Operation not permitted
[00:54] <i-am-the-slime> if i try to resize it in parted it tells me that resizing of ntfs isn't implemented
[00:54] <arfee> neo does it hang totally or just a black screen and eventually come up?
[00:54] <biouser> for pulseaudio
[00:54] <IndyGunFreak> fight: invite them to another room..
[00:55] <gray--> buy them a drink, treat them nice
[00:55] <neo_188> i get a blank screen
[00:55] <jp_sf> fight: /msg the_nick_you_want_talk
[00:55] <arfee> but eventually it comes into login screen right?
[00:55] <kantlivelong> hey all.. im using an Atheros AR5008 a/b/g/n card and it works when manually connecting. However networkmanager tries to connect after entering the wep key and it fails. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
[00:55] <neo_188> no
[00:55] <nickrud> fight, ask a question, then someone will hopefully know the answer and talk to you :)
[00:55] <dpawe3l> sisterblue : this is config file type setpwc -h
[00:56] <nimmy> fight: you can pm to somebody
[00:56] <Guest36666> i installed xp dual boot from ubuntu and did not back up grub how do i get back into ubuntu
[00:56] <fight> thanks everyone
[00:56] <IndyGunFreak> Guest36666: use a live cd to reinstall grub
[00:56] <fight> pm
[00:56] <nickrud> !grub | Guest36666
[00:56] <IndyGunFreak> !grub | Guest36666
[00:56] <Guest36666> IndyGunFreak ok thnx ill give it a go
[00:56] <Guest36666> be back later
[00:56] <mustangg> anyone familiar with an ATI/Compiz bug causing flickering for gl ?
[00:56]  * IndyGunFreak scowls at nickrud 
[00:56]  * nickrud waves at IndyGunFreak 
[00:57] <fight> jp_sf /like this
[00:57] <dpawe3l> ubottu is known as a brainless
[00:57] <arfee> do you get the grub screen at the beginning?
[00:57] <i-am-the-slime> gparted says it can't read the contents of the partition(s)
[00:57] <jp_sf> kantlivelong: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-atheros-ar5007eg-or-ar242x-wireless-cards-may-be-other-models-working-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html
[00:57] <jp_sf> fight: no you have to type the command /msg then the nick
[00:57] <nickrud> i-am-the-slime, possibly because it was not unmounted cleanly; reboot to windows and then retry
[00:57] <neo_188> the problem is with my nvidia fx5200 card because i couldnt install ubuntu with it but when i removed the card it installed properly and booted without any issues
[00:57] <Schuenemann> Hey, all files and directories in my home dir are owned by a strange user (500). What does this mean? I can't even load X
[00:58] <kantlivelong> jp_sf: it works if i manually do it.. NetworkManager just doesnt work with it :| it sees networks but cannt fully connect
[00:58] <sisterblue> dpae31  it listed a lot of stuff and finisted with this    -->>>  With this tool, you can only set settings specific to the Philips WebCams.
[00:58] <Schuenemann> I believe this is related to having a shared /home among other distros
[00:58] <sisterblue> For something more generic, see dov4l: and listed a url
[00:58] <i-am-the-slime> nickrud: to windows?
[00:58] <nickrud> neo_188, what motherboard?
[00:58]  * jp_sf . o O (the idea for i-am-the-slime to reboot and cleanly shutdown is copyrighted I have already said that)
[00:58] <Anacranom> i just installed alien and then used the -d to make a .deb from a .rpm, but it made a .run instead, what am i doing wrong? and i looked at the --help already
[00:58] <Rencx> Is anyone now why i dont have sound on RUneScape it is java based game.. Can it be because of pulseaudio remove?
[00:58] <neo_188> again when i inserted my nvidia card back into api slot i am getting this problem
[00:58] <nickrud> i-am-the-slime, yeah, it will mark the disk as clean
[00:58] <IndyGunFreak> Anacranom: well that wasn't very smart
[00:58] <IndyGunFreak> alien is a mess
[00:58] <i-am-the-slime> well this isn't the first time i try this
[00:59] <i-am-the-slime> would that mean that it never marks the disk as clean?
[00:59] <nickrud> ah, gotta go, work ends and ride is waiting
[00:59] <zcat[1]> Schuenemann: edit /etc/passwd and /etc/group (and /etc/shadow?) and change the UID to match the one your home is owned by
[00:59] <Anacranom> really IndyGunFreak ? i use all the time at work..
[00:59] <IndyGunFreak> !alien | Anacranom
[00:59] <arfee> i would check out if it isnt blacklisted
[00:59] <neo_188> what is blacklisted
[00:59] <IndyGunFreak> Anacranom: its not very smart(at all) to use it.... your best bet is to compile from source if you must
[00:59] <Anacranom> ok... good to know IndyGunFreak
[00:59] <grams> hello
[00:59] <Schuenemann> zcat[1], what exacly should I change?
[01:00] <arfee> i mean i would check out if your graphics card isnt blacklisted
[01:00] <sisterblue> dpawe31  is there something I should do now after running the conf file ??
[01:00] <jp_sf> kantlivelong: it happens on wifi card that are not fully supported
[01:00] <jp_sf> kantlivelong: yes you can see the AP but you can't connect
[01:00] <Schuenemann> zcat[1], you mean the line that has my user?
[01:00] <zcat[1]> Schuenemann: where it says 'schunenemann:x:1000:1000...' change all the 1000's to 500's
[01:01] <Rencx> Is anyone now why i dont have sound on RUneScape it is java based game.. Can it be because of pulseaudio remove?
[01:01] <thomasdelbeke> bugs
[01:01] <thomasdelbeke> bugs
[01:01] <thomasdelbeke> bugs
[01:01] <thomasdelbeke> bugs
[01:01] <grams> ?
[01:01] <zcat[1]> bans?
[01:01] <thomasdelbeke> bugs
[01:01] <grams> lol
[01:01] <FiremanEd> !ops
[01:01] <thomasdelbeke> bugs
[01:01] <Schuenemann> zcat[1], ok, but /etc/shadow looks different than the other two
[01:01] <thomasdelbeke> bugs
[01:02] <redrebel> is there a way to move the gnome notifiy popup??
[01:02] <Mez> op wars!
[01:02] <MethinX> what folder are other networked computers stored at?
[01:02] <redrebel> it shows at the lower right corner, I want to move it to the top right
[01:02] <zcat[1]> Schuenemann: yeah, I think you only need to change the UID and GIDs in /etc/passwd and /etc/group
[01:02]  * jp_sf . o O (wow so many ops ?)
[01:03] <jedi06> How does the install determine what partition to download?
[01:03] <Schuenemann> zcat[1], can you tell me how to edit it with vi? I can delete text, but not add
[01:03] <Flannel> jedi06: To download?
[01:03] <zcat[1]> Schuenemann: use nano if you're in ubuntu. vi is horrible!
[01:03] <jp_sf> Schuenemann, i like insert
[01:03] <jedi06> Flannel to install to
[01:03] <arfee> amen to that zcat
[01:04] <Flannel> jedi06: Ah.  It asks you!
[01:04] <jedi06> it wants me to reize my xp partition i want to install it over fedora
[01:04] <Flannel> jedi06: Right, so do manually partitioning instead of guided
[01:04] <arfee> although if you press insert it tends to work for me in vi...but i think its 'i' to add...not sure though
[01:04] <Flannel> jedi06: Then tell it to install / overtop of your other partition
[01:04] <MethinX> what command do i use to find out my server address?
[01:04] <Schuenemann> jp_sf, ok, insert allowed me to insert the number, but then the line vanished and some letters appear when I use arrows
[01:04] <neo_188> arfree did u get my problem
[01:05] <jedi06> It doesn't see it Flannel
[01:05] <zcat[1]> the onlt vi commands I know are i to insert and !wq to save and quit
[01:05] <werLd> Schuenemann: i to add or a to add to next character
[01:05] <jp_sf> Schuenemann: after hit Esc to get out of insert mode and navigate
[01:05] <Schuenemann> ok, nano looks easier
[01:05] <MethinX> what command do i use to find out my server address? in ubuntu intredid?
[01:05] <unop> MethinX, ifconfig
[01:05] <MethinX> thanks
[01:05] <arfee> well from what i can think is that the graphics card you have isnt supported, but i dont know, im not massive on Nvidia
[01:06] <FrustratedUbuntu> alright
[01:06] <Schuenemann> omg
[01:06] <neo_188> where can i find a answer to this problem
[01:06] <arfee> have you googled it?
[01:06] <Schuenemann> zcat[1], I changed the uid in /etc/passwd, but I can't edit /etc/groups. An error message says uid 1000 doesn't exist in /etc/passwd!
[01:06] <sisterblue> dpawe31   what should I do next ?
[01:06] <FrustratedUbuntu> so.... apt-get upgrade didn't work to get the kernel source.... how do i get the latest kernel source?
[01:06] <Flannel> FrustratedUbuntu: You need to use dist-upgrade, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:07] <werLd> where is the nvidia question
[01:07] <FrustratedUbuntu> okay... ill try that right now
[01:07] <arfee> neo
[01:07] <neo_188> ok thanks i'll try to find one
[01:07] <neo_188> yes arfree
[01:07] <arfee> neo, werLD  might be able to help
[01:07] <zcat[1]> Schuenemann: Ummm.. this is one of those times you wanted to use 'sudo -i' and work in a root shell. Oops
[01:07] <jp_sf> neo_188: what is your problem ?
[01:07] <Schuenemann> zcat[1], sorry, I don't follow you
[01:08] <neo_188> hey thanks ill contact him
[01:08] <FrustratedUbuntu> it says: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[01:08] <Krstnsn> s
[01:08] <werLd> neo_188: nvidia, has a default driver built into ubuntus packing. but you can download a more robust nvidia driver from nvidia.com and compile that driver
[01:08] <zcat[1]> Schuenemann: Well, now you're logged in as user 1000 but there isn't a user 1000 in /etc/passwd now so sudo doesn't know who you are..
[01:08] <nooblar> guys is it possible to duplicate a user account and ALL of their settings?
[01:09] <jp_sf> werLd: well the 180 are on synaptic
[01:09] <arfee> wer, he cant get in to Ubuntu on his current graphics card
[01:09] <neo_188> how to do that
[01:09] <zcat[1]> I think that's how it works anyway
[01:09] <neo_188> i am new to ubuntu
[01:09] <nooblar> i want to create several users with the same exact set up for everything
[01:09] <Blackfate> nooblar:
[01:09] <Flannel> nooblar: Sure, their settings are all stored in their homedir.  So just copy it (and change ownership to the new user) and you're set.
[01:09] <jp_sf> neo_188: could you do a dmes | NVRM
[01:09] <spasticteapot> Why am I unable to play DVDs? When I try to play them, I get various errors; for example, in VLC, I get "libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable."
[01:09] <Blackfate> just copy the contents of the main user folder
[01:09] <brettley> is there a way to free up alot of HDD space when im pressed for space?
[01:09] <Schuenemann> zcat[1], I can restore /etc/passwd and change /etc/groups first, ten
[01:09] <Blackfate> to the other folders of the new users
[01:09] <jp_sf> neo_188: could you do a dmesg | NVRM
[01:09] <nooblar> awesome, thanks!
[01:10] <arfee> spastic...have you enabled the restricted repository
[01:10] <nooblar> i wonder if the programs would need to have their directory settings changed though?
[01:10] <Mal3ko> lol wput can handle file >2gb?
[01:10] <dpawe3l> sisterblue read this http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/
[01:10] <Blackfate> nooblar: for example :  copy -R /home/user1/* /home/user2
[01:10] <_Vi_> is there a way to get more panel applets?
[01:10] <werLd> jp_sf, he can show you the dmesg, but most likely he needs to configure xorg.conf
[01:10] <Mal3ko> can't*
[01:10] <Blackfate> cp*
[01:10] <jp_sf> neo_188: I mean dmesg | grep NVRM
[01:10] <FrustratedUbuntu> alright.... so ive been trying to get my wireless card to work for hours upon hours.... ive tried all the how-tos and help sites, and i finally got a driver that i need to compile
[01:10] <zcat[1]> Schuenemann: ummm probably the thing to do is boot into a single-user root shell and edit the files from there.
[01:10] <Mal3ko> it keeps telling me that the file doesnt exist
[01:10] <FrustratedUbuntu> but.... when i try to compile it, i get: make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-9-generic'
[01:10] <FrustratedUbuntu> scripts/Makefile.build:41: /home/nicholas/rtl8180-0.21/Makefile: No such file or directory
[01:10] <Flannel> Blackfate, nooblar: no, that won't quite work.  Since * won't expand to hidden things.  But something similar.
[01:11] <brettley> im runin ubuntu on a flash drive as my harddrive, is there a way i can make it work faster (make more work off ram?)
[01:11] <nooblar> ahh
[01:11] <jp_sf> werLd: if he have the latest driver installed from synaptic he could do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:12] <werLd> isnt synaptic laptop touchpad drivers, etc?
[01:12] <Figgie123> Curious about options to install 8.10 since the main and alternate install's are failing.
[01:12] <Blackfate> Flannel: cp -R /home/user1/.* /home/user2 ?
[01:12] <nooblar> but after copying the home folder to user2, it's likely that some of those config files point to /home/user1 (which wouldn't work)
[01:12] <jp_sf> WerLd: I mean Synaptic package Manager
[01:12] <flakeparadigm> hello
[01:12] <arfee> hello flakeparadigm
[01:13] <Laurenceb> can anyone tell me what the samplerate library is?
[01:13] <werLd> jp_sf: got you..
[01:13] <Blackfate> nooblar: you mean like ownership etc?
[01:13] <Blackfate> nooblar: the config files tou need are the hidden ones
[01:13] <Laurenceb>   * The samplerate (a.k.a. secret rabbit code) library.
[01:13] <nooblar> i mean, like maybe some programs are pointing to specific folders
[01:13] <nooblar> like /home/user1/
[01:13] <jp_sf> Laurenceb: sounds (ah ah ah) like a audio things
[01:13] <werLd> jp_sf: well that may work but probably wont..ahah either edit xorg.conf manaully, or perhaps easiest way for him is to reinstall linux with new graphics card installed, or write us a check and give us ssh/root access to do it for him ...
[01:14] <Laurenceb> where do I apt get it?
[01:14] <Laurenceb> or how even?
[01:14] <sisterblue> dpawe31  ok I read the page   I think i have linux 2.6 kernel (i'm using ubuntu 8.10)  sorry, i am a newbie and am not sure what i should do next
[01:14] <flakeparadigm> Could anyone here help me setup a network bridge? I would like to use my desktop's wireless connection (ath0) as an uplink for a network switch that I am connecting using the wired connection (eth0)
[01:14] <Blackfate> nooblar: usually programs dont point to user directories...
[01:14] <Blackfate> nooblar: only if you told em to
[01:14] <zcat[1]> Schuenemann: http://www.securitypronews.com/it/operatingsystems/spn-22-20040209LostRootPasswordLinux.html is sort of what you want, just ignore the parts about using vi and ou're changing uids and gids, not the root password...
[01:14] <nooblar> i mean in the configs
[01:14] <nooblar> like for instance
[01:14] <nooblar> if picasa or something was set to watch a certain folder for user1
[01:15] <neo_188> jp_sf: i did not get u can u explain in detail
[01:15] <nooblar> then if i copy user1's home with all configs, those will still be set to watch home of user1?
[01:15] <Lemonwedge> anyone know of a program to moniter the system fan?
[01:15] <nooblar> i guess i'll just try it and see if everything works
[01:15] <Blackfate> nooblar: you choose what you copy...  folders like .picasa can be deleted afterwards from the new folders
[01:16] <werLd> neo_188: I didnt realize it was hanging even during the install, try to boot linux with: noacpi acpi=no
[01:16] <Blackfate> not all configs should be copied
[01:16] <jp_sf> neo_188: not sure what you problem is I scrolled up but didn't find much information, you want to install a nvidia card ?
[01:16] <neo_188> how to do that
[01:16] <FrustratedUbuntu> umm.... im trying to "make" a driver, but when make runs, all the files disappear by themselves.... and thne it gives me an error that the makefile can't be found
[01:16] <FrustratedUbuntu> anyone know how to fix this?
[01:16] <kantlivelong> can someone help me w/ network manager and atheros AR5008?
[01:17] <jp_sf> kantlivelong: Did you checked the link I provided ?
[01:17] <werLd> neo_188: if you already have a linux part installed, you can go to the grub menu and hit 'e' for edit. then append the bootline with: noacpi acpi=no, let me try to get u a example
[01:17] <kantlivelong> jp_sf: yes its not the driver
[01:17] <youwe> ok i just installed windows xp on a 30 gig partition for gaming and it wiped grub from my mbr so i booted in live cd and fixed grub but now winxp is not listed in the menu
[01:17] <jp_sf> kantlivelong: you have installed madwifi ?
[01:18] <nooblar> thanks blackfate and flannel
[01:18] <Figgie123> Why does the install think files are corrupt, when I run an md5sum and it matches?
[01:18] <jp_sf> kantlivelong: are you on 8.10 ?
[01:18] <taggie> youwe, download "supergrubdisk" and do the automatic fix
[01:18] <Blackfate> nooblar: np
[01:18] <X-Hacker> Hello
[01:18] <c0n> yo
[01:18] <youwe> taggie, ok thnx
[01:18] <FrustratedUbuntu> can anyone please hep me? im almost going crazy
[01:18] <kantlivelong> jp_sf: yes
[01:18] <Mal3ko> how do we split tar file into multiple parts?
[01:18] <X-Hacker> you tell me ;)
[01:18] <kantlivelong> jp_sf: i can manually connect using the CLI
[01:19] <jp_sf> kantlivelong: ok what you could do is to edit the file /etc/network/interfaces
[01:19] <jp_sf> kantlivelong: sudo
[01:19] <MethinX> does linux have counter-strike>?
[01:19] <Figgie123> Is there a different IRC channel for help in installing 8.10?
[01:19] <kitche> MethinX: yes and no
[01:19] <kantlivelong> jp_sf: to do what?
[01:19] <werLd> MethinX: you could see if people got wine to run CS under linux
[01:20] <kantlivelong> i run CS with no issues in wine
[01:20] <MethinX> i refuse to use windows thou
[01:20] <FrustratedUbuntu> well.... im having a problem "making" this driver for rtl8180... all file in the source directory disappear after i run make, and then make says that it can't find the makefile that was just there
[01:20] <MethinX> been windows free for 6 days
[01:20] <kitche> MethinX: there is no native steam support yet but the steam client does have the code for linux
[01:20] <kantlivelong> grats
[01:20] <_Vi_> !yay | MethinX
[01:20] <_Vi_> :)
[01:20] <jp_sf> kantlivelong: and put the configuration of your wifi with auto wlan0 (if your wifi card is wlan0) then iface wlan0 inet dhcp (if you are on dhcp the wireless-key your wireless key the wireless-essid your essid
[01:20] <kantlivelong> jp_sf: id rather use network manager ;|
[01:20] <MethinX> hey it was hard leap but I did it and am not regreting anything!
[01:21] <Figgie123> Can I copy install files to a separate file system, and then install from there somehow?
[01:21] <jp_sf> kantlivelong: your call :-) but another solution is to use wifi-radar (it was made more or less obsolete by the network manager)
[01:21] <Figgie123> This is on a hard drive that has no OS.
[01:21] <werLd> MethinX: i said wine not windows
[01:22] <werLd> MethinX: wine is a program under linux that runs windows applications without being in windows
[01:22] <MethinX> ok werld i thought wine was windows sorry
[01:22] <werLd> np
[01:22] <arfee> Figgie in order for the other computer to install the file it has to know what to do with it, this is the OS's job, so without an OS its not possible
[01:22] <aolong> has anyone found answers with the buffer error device sr0 on the 8.1 install?
[01:22] <werLd> MethinX: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/gaming-games-multimedia-entertainment/27887-counter-strike-wine.html
[01:22] <xnox> I have a list of files, one per line in a file. can I somehow pipe it into rm to delete all of them?
[01:23] <ludri> Is it possible to emulate already installed windows inside ubuntu?
[01:23] <werLd> MethinX: you may have to google search more sites to get it working..
[01:23] <MethinX> I shall thank you
[01:23] <jp_sf> xnox: xargs rm < list
[01:23] <aolong> xnox : look at building a shell script using "for each"
[01:24] <Figgie123> arfee: Thanks. I'm trying to use the LiveCD, but everytime I go to install on this machine (PentiumII/300Mhz, 327ram) it says a file is corrupt, but when I check the md5sum's they're fine.
[01:24] <werLd> MethinX: im glad u arent regretting losing windows. i sure dont, gaming is one of theo nly reasons i still need windows
[01:24] <PC_Nerd1> Hi, Ive got a DVD drive that I want to force to unmount ( it says there is an application blocking it)... how cna I force the unmount of what device?
[01:24] <xnox> jp_sf: thanks a lot =D
[01:24] <Figgie123> I've tried the main install, and the alternate install, and running livecd, then running Install, but nothing works.
[01:24] <phixxor> does a swap partition _need_ to be as big as my ram?
[01:24] <xnox> aolong: I'll look at that as well. thanks.
[01:24] <werLd> PC_Nerd1: if you have the dvd mounted in /mnt/dvd, make sure you arent in that same dir when u try unmounting it
[01:24] <xnox> phixxor: what's your ram?
[01:24] <Figgie123> This time, on the alternate CD, it said tzdata, and xfonts-terminus were corrupt, but the md5sum is okay.
[01:24] <arfee> then maybe you have a problem with the burning process, have you tried burning from another pc?
[01:24] <phixxor> 1gb, but soon to be 4 gb
[01:24] <TheFunkbomb> I'm looking for help installing my Wacom tablet.  I can't follow the directions :(
[01:25] <PC_Nerd1> running form ~, its mounted to /media/<discname>
[01:25] <jimi_hendrix> command to search repo via apt-get (i cant remember!)
[01:25] <PC_Nerd1> I dont know what teh device is.. /dev/disk?
[01:25] <MethinX> well as far as gaming for me I am trying to keep it Liunx only or find ways to make windows games work in Linux, I refuse to buy Vista or any other installment of windows as for It made me not expand my horizons
[01:25] <Figgie123> I've not tried to burn from another PC.
[01:25] <aolong> jimi: apt-cache search
[01:25] <Figgie123> But I can't figure out why the md5sum is clean, and it says it's corrupt.
[01:25] <phixxor> xnox: 1gb but I'm upgrading to 4
[01:25] <xnox> phixxor: if you want susspend and hybernate than yes your swap should be just as big (i usually go for a little more though e.g. 1.4)
[01:25] <askvictor> How can I prevent a usb device being auto-mounted when I insert it? Is it HAL that manages this?
[01:25] <richcollins> How do I fix this error?
[01:25] <richcollins> E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glib2.0/libglib2.0-0_2.16.4-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb: 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.40 80]
[01:25] <arfee> is this the ISO checksum?
[01:25] <Figgie123> I can't believe the install ISO is bad, otherwise, other people would have issues too.
[01:25] <Figgie123> no, the file checksum.
[01:25] <xnox> phixxor: appart from that it should be fine
[01:26] <Figgie123> md5sum tzdata_2008h-2ubuntu1_all.deb
[01:26] <Figgie123> (well, i did an md5sum on the iso file as well, before burning it, and it was okay.)

[01:26] <aolong> rep... has anyone found answers with the buffer error device sr0 on the 8.1 install?
[01:26] <PC_Nerd1> thanks!
[01:26] <Figgie123> 290099b156e05e8c20487f8767e668c4  tzdata_2008h-2ubuntu1_all.deb
[01:26] <xnox> phixxor: once you have 4gb and you will want suspend you will need to have 4gb swap. You can increase it later on, but it's better to create in advance.
[01:26] <Figgie123> that's what i get when i run that command in pool/.../t/tzdata ...
[01:26] <Figgie123> which matches md5sum.txt ...
[01:26] <Figgie123> but yet the install says it's corrupt.
[01:27] <xnox> phixxor: so if you don't want suspend you can get away without swap.
[01:27] <PC_Nerd1> umount2: Device or resource busy.  Im not using the device, so i dont know what could be keeping it.
[01:27] <aolong> PC_Nerd1: log out and back in... try again

[01:28] <PC_Nerd1> ok hang on

[01:28] <arfee> when you ran the cd, have you checked on the cd for defects?

[01:28] <mindslant> Howdy.  I run a 27 system lab for classes kindergarten to 8th grade.  I'm redeploying ubuntu in the lab, dualbooting xp with deep freeze.  I got some help in the forums on how to create a deep freeze like environment for ubuntu.  I was hoping someone could take a look at the process and the command line inputs I'm using.
[01:28] <PC_Nerd1> the output from mount, that relates to the CD drive is:

[01:29] <aolong> sounded familiar... but I guess there'es more than one K teacher using Ub...
[01:29] <unop> fight, no spamming please
[01:30] <Figgie123> i'm going to do it again to confirm.
[01:30] <arfee> well i checked out the internet for you for similar problems and all point to errors in burning
[01:30] <TheFunkbomb> I'm trying to install my wacom tablet and I'm not having much luck
[01:30] <Figgie123> i burned it using brasero on an 8.04 system.

[01:31] <mindslant> I just installed a wacom tablet!
[01:31] <werLd> ango: are you trying to partition your drive?
[01:31]  * XKpe boas
[01:31] <arfee> no, more hardware than software my friend, i think it might be an error with burning

[01:31] <ango> werLd: no, trying to install ubuntu
[01:31] <Figgie123> bad cd drive?

[01:31] <arfee> when ya get the error check out '/var/log/syslog'
[01:32] <aolong> anyone with news on the Buffer I/O error on device sr0 Logical Block XXXXXX Bug #266951?
[01:32] <mindslant> thefunkbomb , were the online guides not helpful?
[01:32] <arfee> i think so
[01:32] <werLd> ango: well installing ubuntu partitions your drive, same thing...
[01:32] <Figgie123> okay, on alternate CD, the scan comes up just fine.
[01:32] <karamazov> hello
[01:32] <TheFunkbomb> mindslant, I'm trying to follow this one:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25151  but I can't figure out how to do step 2
[01:32] <Figgie123> (well, the initial scan was, now it's doing a integrity check...)
[01:32] <karamazov> i've installed ubuntu server on virtualbox and setup samba on the ubuntu server
[01:33] <karamazov> now how can i access files on this virtual ubuntu server?
[01:33] <XKpe> is there a net-install for ubuntu?
[01:33] <mindslant> thefunkbomb , so you put "sudo apt-get install wacom-tools" in your terminal and what happens?
[01:33] <werLd> TheFunkbomb: you need to open a terminal window
[01:33] <karamazov> do i have to forward some ports since virtualbox places ubuntu server on a different internal network?
[01:33] <arfee> ok now try installing to the point where the error comes up and check the syslog...you want to look out for something like buffer I/O error or something
[01:33] <TheFunkbomb> mindslant, it installs
[01:33] <PC_Nerd1> umount command was " umount: <mount location>: device is busy"  and then a "In some cases useful info about proccesses that use teh devuce is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)
[01:33] <ango> after that msg comes up, it takes you back to the partitioner
[01:33] <TheFunkbomb> mindslant, but I can't figure out how to configure it
[01:34] <Blackfate> PC_Nerd1: name the device please
[01:34] <karamazov> hi
[01:34] <Figgie123> integrity failed on a file it doesn't fail on during install.
[01:34] <jimi_hendrix> also...what would i type into terminal to run cairo-dock
[01:34] <karamazov> does anybody know what ports do samba use?
[01:34] <PC_Nerd1> i beleive it is /dev/scd0
[01:34] <Figgie123> (i didn't write it down, just frustrated ... )
[01:34] <jbu311> hi all, i changed "sharing options" for a folder on computer a, and when i access it from computer b, I can't get on using a valid login/passwd on computer a...it asks for a domain which I don't know what to use
[01:34] <Blackfate> PC_Nerd1:  lsof | grep scd0
[01:34] <arfee> so its giving problems on check with a file thats not a problem???
[01:34] <aolong> 137,138?
[01:34] <Figgie123> running install on alternate install CD ... let's see how far it gets.
[01:34] <mindslant> thefunkbomb , yeah it doesn't tell you what document your editing does it.  1 sec let me see what I did
[01:34] <Blackfate> kai try to find what process uses it
[01:34] <Blackfate> and then kill it
[01:34] <Figgie123> well, i say no files are a problem, but that's just me. :)
[01:34] <karamazov> aolong ?
[01:35] <TheFunkbomb> mindslant, that's where I'm getting hung up.  Thanks
[01:35] <Figgie123> when it install, it barfs on tzdata and xfonts-terminus ...
[01:35] <arfee> hahaha just like me
[01:35] <Figgie123> on the integrity, it failed on something else.
[01:35] <jp_sf> aolong: near ... 139
[01:35] <aolong> ports for smb/cifs
[01:35] <arfee> ok...now go to /var/log/syslog
[01:35] <fr0g> hi i have deleted my /boot partition... how should i rescue it?
[01:35] <aolong> ah yes
[01:35] <karamazov> what is 139?
[01:35] <Figgie123> well, i'm going through install now ...
[01:35] <Figgie123> just chose keyboard layout....
[01:35] <karamazov> the port?
[01:35] <Schuenemann> !bluetooth
[01:35] <Figgie123> waiting for partitioner...

[01:36] <karamazov> it's using 4828
[01:36] <karamazov> is it correct?

[01:36] <Blackfate> these 2
[01:36] <arfee> that name reminds me, are there actually eastereggs in Ubuntu?

[01:38] <karamazov> Blackfate: ok thank you

[01:38] <Blackfate> karamazov: dont mess with ports.. just play with the smb.conf
[01:38] <mindslant> Does anyone here know much about loading /home directories as tmpfs?

[01:41] <karamazov> when i type sudo smbpasswd -a username

[01:41] <marcelo> Hi, does anyone know any image viewer capable of open images in fits format?
[01:41] <MethinX> whats the df -h?
[01:42] <Blackfate> dayzman: maybe you should press on the auto config button of your screen if these are indeed the correct values for your monitor
[01:42] <dayzman> Blackfate: i've tried that too.

[01:43] <dayzman> Blackfate: can i force the refresh rate higher?
[01:43] <Blackfate> dayzman: yes.. what graphics card you have?
[01:43] <dayzman> Blackfate: i see. it's a nvidia.
[01:43] <drash> dayzman: have you checked output of xrandr ? that should report min current and max values for all connected displays
[01:43] <dayzman> Blackfate: it only allows me to take 60hz in nvidia-settings.
[01:44] <Blackfate> dayzman: go to nvidia X server setting in SYstem > Administration
[01:44] <mindslant> thefunkbomb , when I did this I added extra lines like those that are in your guide.  That's what I would do in your case however, a misstep in that file can hose X and you're toast.  While I'm not an absolute noob, you'd be more comfortable asking someone to doublecheck this advice before you did it.
[01:44] <Blackfate> dayzman: hmm
[01:44] <jimi_hendrix> how does one install a .deb through cli?
[01:44] <jimi_hendrix> as in whats the dpkg command?

[01:44] <ortsvorsteher> jimi_hendrix: dpkg -i file.deb
[01:44] <Blackfate> dayzman: there is a way to force more refresh rate... wait.. ill give you a post i wrote on a way to do it
[01:45] <TheFunkbomb> mindslant, I appreciate your help and I'm more noob than you lol
[01:45] <dayzman> drash: does that mean it's working at 50hz?
[01:45] <dayzman> Blackfate: thanks!
[01:45] <drash> dayzman: looks like it yes
[01:45] <mindslant> As far as I know, pasting those line into the xorg file is what you need to do.
[01:45] <dayzman> drash: right. i looked at the "Information" menu on each of the monitors, they both say they are working at 60hz.

[01:48] <karamazov> is there any tool like nopaste in ubuntu?
[01:48] <dayzman> Blackfate: i see. when i do xrand --newmode... do i need to specify which monitor i'm configuring?
[01:48] <dayzman> or is it for the whole screen?
[01:48] <Blackfate> dayzman: ah yes.. sorry about it.
[01:48] <Blackfate> dayzman: in the xrand --addmode
[01:49] <Blackfate> dayzman: you need to specify the monitor
[01:49] <drash> dayzman: man xrandr is always a good starting point when using multi-screen setup

[01:51] <dayzman> Blackfate: and it's 3360x1050 @ 50hz
[01:51] <dayzman> is it because i'm using twinview?
[01:52] <Blackfate> dayzman: what type of connection you use?
[01:52] <dayzman> Blackfate: well i'm trying to get it up to 60hz, because xrandr shows that it's at 50hz.
[01:52] <Blackfate> dayzman: svideo?
[01:52] <Mulder> what was that ubuntu channel for desktop effects
[01:52] <dayzman> even nvidia-settings says it's at 60
[01:52] <dayzman> Blackfate: the blurry monitor? DVI
[01:52] <Blackfate> dayzman: 50hz is a bug.. its actually 60hz.
[01:52] <dayzman> DVI to VGA

[02:16] <MethinX> thank you
[02:17] <danbhfive> slackerksg5: I don't think you will have to reinstall.  I once popped my harddrive from my old computer, to a newly built computer, and it worked out fine
[02:17] <MethinX> I did not know that /etc/fstab was a file I could type in I thought it was an aplication lol

[02:20] <danbhfive> comicinker1: are you sure cp -a works?
[02:20] <slackerksg5> fumanchu182: Yes I had that problem, but I set the resolution manually as well as my monitor frequencies in the xorg.conf file

[02:22] <adamorjames> This is a stickup. I need the Courier font and i need it now... please.

[02:28] <robertzaccour> is there spotlight search for ubuntu?
[02:28] <losher> Bossmanbeta: it's not ncurses. It's just the only other client I happened to like after rtorrent.
[02:28] <robertzaccour> the search for files thing is pretty crappy, no search results for most of the stuff i have
[02:28] <Bossmanbeta> losher, yea I see it's a gui ... I prefer an ncurses client so I can ssh/screen to it

[02:37] <akurei> robertzaccour: sudo updatedb
[02:37] <akurei> then locate "search string"
[02:37] <iajrz> $:locate "this and that"
[02:37] <iajrz> right, you have to updatedb
[02:37] <akurei> w/o quotes
[02:37] <losher> Bossmanbeta: thanks, I will check that out. Good find!
[02:37] <_Vi_> add a |less to that command at the end
[02:37] <iajrz> it will make your most recent files appear
[02:37] <PC_Nerd1> hi.  Ive appended /usr/local/apache2/bin to PATH in the /etc/bash.bashrc file     now a regular use can run a program in there, however because it needs to be run with root... when i sudo apachectl start, it tells me that the command is not found... ive cheked by su - that PATH in root does have the added directory.     any ideas on how to make the PATH addition globally (as in working globally? )
[02:38] <MisterK1> danbhfive: its coming up "Problem with Audio"
[02:38] <iajrz> -->no quotes necessary unless you have more than a word in filename
[02:38] <akurei> PC_Nerd1: how about access rights?
[02:38] <MisterK1> danbhfive: to be precise "Problem with Audio Playback"
[02:39] <OxDeadC0de> iajrz don't need quotes even then, can do: /path\ to/file\ name.ext
[02:39] <danbhfive> MisterK1: go to the preferences, and the audio section.  Try out different devices for the playback.  Click the test sound to see if its working
[02:39] <iajrz> PC_Nerd1: you have to put it in sbin
[02:39] <danes_> how can I format a usb?
[02:39] <PC_Nerd1> ah - access rights. ty ill check
[02:39] <ncfi1013_> i installed the user agent switcher but there is no test button so how will i know if it works?
[02:39] <MisterK1> danbhfive: tried all audio out options
[02:39] <Bossmanbeta> losher, the patch is from 2007 though :( ... a bit odd that they'd put out a patch but not then release it in a new version later (in 2 yrs?!)
[02:39] <comicinker1> danes_: with gparted
[02:39] <akurei> danes_: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/whateverdeviceyourusbstickis
[02:39] <iajrz> lol OxDeadC0de, it's easier "path to file", at least for me :P
[02:40] <iajrz> easier to explain to newer people, too
[02:40] <strychnine> #c++
[02:40] <danes_> should I do all the partitions primary on the usb?
[02:40] <akurei> danes_: how many do you want to create?
[02:40] <danes_> akurei, at least two or three
[02:41] <losher> Bossmanbeta: I've tried building various versions of rtorrent/libtorrent in the past and had endless problems with dependencies etc. I'm not impressed by the coding/project management of rtorrent
[02:41] <akurei> if <=4 use primary. else logical
[02:41] <PC_Nerd1> ok, the program is owned by root, and can be run by root.... but it cannot be run by sudo apachectl on a normal user.
[02:41] <akurei> is the user in the sudoers file?
[02:41] <PC_Nerd1> however the normal user has full root permissions with sudo... ive set the sudoers like <user>=ALL(ALL)  or however it goes
[02:41] <Bossmanbeta> losher, from that thread I linked the author is likely going to put this patch into the trunk and release it in a new version... I have no interest in compiling the patch myself .. not my forte playing with SVN revisions
[02:41] <akurei> ok... strange ^^
[02:41] <iajrz> PC_Nerd1: not only on bin, but also has to be on sbin
[02:42] <zenwryly> I want to strip unicode from my cupsd.conf file, but i'm not sure how.  What can I use to do that?
[02:42] <iajrz> or so I remember
[02:42] <nikrud> PC_Nerd1, do   sudo env | grep PATH
[02:42] <PC_Nerd1> what to you mean on sbin?
[02:42] <danes_> akurei, I've done two partitions using fdisk, but the secondary partition is not recognized in windows. I formated it using mkfs.vfat /dev/usb2, but it doesnt show up on windows
[02:42] <iajrz> lemme xplain
[02:42] <PC_Nerd1> ok... the output from that is "PATH=~~~~~~~~~~~~~"  it doesnt have my url in there.... restart?
[02:42] <Dr_willis> danes_,  /dev/usb2 ? where did that come from?
[02:42] <danes_> akurei, do you know what can I do to make both partitions show up on windows?
[02:43] <powertool08> Are there any wireshark guru's here who can explain why I'm having so many tcp connections to craigslist? http://paste.ubuntu.com/108839/
[02:43] <akurei> danes_ i don't know much about usb sticks on windows, but it could be that windows only recognizes just one partition?
[02:43] <danes_> Dr_willis, well, it is actually /dev/sdb2
[02:43] <akurei> i'm not that windows expert
[02:43] <Bossmanbeta> losher, there is a way to mitigate it though... if you go to the FILE LIST (right arrow on an active torrent) you see the files downloading in the torrent. if you select one and hit the SPACEBAR, you can change the file's download status to OFF (dont DL) or high, meaning high priority...
[02:43] <Dr_willis> thumbdrives under windows - with more then 1 parittion - do work. :)
[02:43] <nikrud> PC_Nerd1, now do sudo env | sort ; you'll see you're using your regular user's path rather than root's, I think
[02:43] <akurei> Dr_willis: kk =)
[02:43] <Dr_willis> it may best to format under windows.
[02:43] <powertool08> join /#wireshark
[02:44] <danes_> I just want to use my usb to have ubuntu in one partition, and other partition in fat for my regular files
[02:44] <losher> Bossmanbeta: Understood. But that's the poor man's version. The only other way I know is to run multiple rtorrent instances on different ports i.e. back to square one
[02:44] <danes_> Dr_willis, do you know of any app that might help me with this?
[02:44] <MisterK1> danbhfive: any ideas?
[02:44] <akurei> danes_: well if one partition is ext2/3 or jfs or whatever linux fs, windows won't recognize it
[02:45] <Bossmanbeta> losher, that's impractical :(  but was worth fleshing out in discussion :)  I am asking about this patch in #rtorrent though
[02:45] <danes_> akurei, yes, I know that, but the secondary partition is definitively not showing up. I want to create first two fat partitions to see if both work
[02:45] <danbhfive> powertool08: I don't think that is craigslist
[02:46] <akurei> have you marked it *hidden* ?
[02:46] <iajrz> The way I
[02:46] <akurei> wait
[02:46] <danbhfive> MisterK1: you could test your system with gstreamer-properties              I don't know otherwise.  Picking a different audio device worked for me
[02:46] <danes_> akurei, I dont think so, I made the two partitions the exact same way, but one is not working
[02:46] <akurei> danes_: do you know where the hdd manager is on windows? i only know how it is called in german
[02:47] <iajrz> would add the command for the users would be by making a launcher in the /usr/bin (and/or /usr/sbin) folder, PC_Nerd1; not sure how safe it would be, tho
[02:47] <akurei> somewhere on the right click menu on "My computer"
[02:47] <Dr_willis> danes_,  i could be wrong.. but i have seen usb thumbdrives with 2+ partitions on it.
[02:47] <MisterK1> danbhfive: I can hear audio fine from the OS itself, I've actually done Sound tests, but Skype is refusing to produce any.
[02:47] <powertool08> danbhfive: What do you mean? According to my whois lookup it is. Do you mean its spoofed? If so, whats actually happening (port scans?) and how do I stop it?
[02:47] <phiqtion> i just installed 8.04 on a ASUS P5N7A-VM to use as a HTPC, everything went smooth until i update my nvidia drivers to current version. after that i rebooted and resolution has stayed stucked at 640x480, any thoughts on how to change resolution with this new nvidia driver. btw, my mobo is using a 9300 gpu.
[02:47] <danes_> Dr_willis, I know it is possible, but dont know how :(
[02:48] <sivel> hello all
[02:48] <akurei> danes_: if you find it, check if you can see it there
[02:48] <losher> Bossmanbeta: In fairness, I rarely need it in practice. I occasionally suspend something using CTRL-D if it looks like it's starving the others, but otherwise I just let it get on with it...
[02:48] <danbhfive> powertool08: how did you do a whois lookup?
[02:48] <sivel> heres an interesting question for you all about ssh
[02:48] <danes_> akurei, I'll try
[02:48] <Xintruder> i accedently changed the resolution to very small, super small. how can i undo that?
[02:48] <Bossmanbeta> losher, I was about to google that... Ctrl-D pauses/unpauses a torrent line?
[02:48] <Wolverin3> hi guys i need some help
[02:48] <danbhfive> powertool08: nvm, it is craigslist I suppose
[02:48] <Wolverin3> how to know what is blocking my ubuntu
[02:49] <Wolverin3> when that happen i need ACPI restart
[02:49] <powertool08> danbhfive: From a terminal with "whois 208.82.236.208" since that is the destination address on most of them.
[02:49] <losher> Bossmanbeta: yes, ctrl-d/ctrl-s starts and stops a particular torrent line in my version
[02:49] <danes_> anyways, anyone knows if I can use unetbootin to load multiple linux distributions on my usb? Any idea on what file do I need to modify to boot the images, and how?
[02:49] <iajrz> blocking ubuntu?
[02:49] <Bossmanbeta> well that helps losher cuz 1 torrent is sucking the other one dry and I'd prefer the 2nd finish first
[02:49] <phiqtion> i just installed 8.04 on a ASUS P5N7A-VM to use as a HTPC, everything went smooth until i update my nvidia drivers to current version. after that i rebooted and resolution has stayed stucked at 640x480, any thoughts on how to change resolution with this new nvidia driver. btw, my mobo is using a 9300 gpu.
[02:49] <danbhfive> powertool08: woo! thats allot easier than using online lookups!
[02:49] <sivel> i understand that you can setup a mail program to send an email every time root logs n through ssh. i was wondering if its possible to get some other kind of "alert" when anyone logs, and on a remote machine?
[02:50] <PC_Nerd1> yup ok, so if "sudo" doesnt have the regular users path, how can I make sudo root and all regular users share the same path value?
[02:50] <snypzz> Love UBUNTU takes some getting use too, but all and all well rounded, and Networkability AWSOME....
[02:50] <phiqtion> any help guys?
[02:50] <akurei> Xintruder: CTRL+ALT+F1 - Log in - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:50] <Dr_willis> danes_,  make the 2nd parittion a logical inside a exteneded perhaps..
[02:50] <losher> Bossmanbeta: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentUserGuide has all the details
[02:51] <wirelessless> problem with wireless that isn't connecting for past week in hardy 8.04; router works fine with windows machine; ubuntu machine sees wireless network but something gets messed up with WEP passphrase, any clues appreciated
[02:51] <Bossmanbeta> losher, thanks... I'm only generally familiar with the interface.. I'm using it with ssh/screen then pulling the DLed torrents over an SSHFS connection
[02:51] <akurei> phiqtion: ever tried nvidia-settings ?
[02:51] <powertool08> danbhfive: Do you have any idea what all those connections are doing? They start as soon as I open firefox even if I only have one tab open with about:blank loaded and my craigslist addon uninstalled.
[02:51] <coky> any1 uses pixelview tv tuner?
[02:51] <iajrz> PC_Nerd1: sudo uses the commands stored in /usr/sbin ; so if you place a launcher for whatever command you have stored there, (I think even a soft link) it will do it.
[02:51] <ezerhoden> wirelessless: edit the wireless settings and re-enter the key/passphrase
[02:52] <smartguyz> Nice to know that UBUNTU is catching on...
[02:52] <marcelo> ##c++
[02:52] <PC_Nerd1> ok - im attempting to keep everything where it is, thus the path (instead ot puting a symlink in there in the first place)  is there an easy file to append the global path value?
[02:52] <akurei> iajrz: that's not true
[02:52] <heatmzzr> does anyone know how to get a verizon novatel usb760 to work in ubuntu? Doing so would further reduce my need for MS..........
[02:52] <losher> Bossmanbeta: the only other problem I've found is that when I try some of the fancier stuff in the rtorrent.rc file, specifically, automatically moving finished torrents to a different directory, I get crashes. Other than that, it's pretty solid
[02:53] <wirelessless> ezerhoden, I have tried that various times, still doesn't work. I've seen posts on ubuntu help forums about people having similar problems, but no solution (similar problems with intrepid apparently too, and 8.10, I'm still on older version), nothign changed in my system except regular auto upgrades
[02:53] <akurei> PC_Nerd1: what iajrz said about sudo looking in sbin is not true. it does, but not only there. everything in PATH will be looked in
[02:53] <jedi06> ok since the guided partition doesn't work becuase it only sees my xp partition i have to use the manual and i see /dev/sda1 ntsf /dev/sda2 ext3 106MB and /dev/sda3 31gb  which sda2 and sda3 must be linux how do i format them onto one partition and install ubuntu
[02:54] <danbhfive> powertool08: no, I don't know.  maybe the plugin didn't uninstall well or something.  I've no idea
[02:54] <jeeves_Moss> what causes compiz.real to use 40-70% of the CPU time?
[02:54] <PC_Nerd1> ok, so how can I get the sudo and root paths to be the same as normal users..... is there a /etc/global_path  file that I can append to?
[02:54] <Bossmanbeta> losher, does it auto-delete the DLed files if you delete the .torrent file (I have the sweep-directory for torrents and auto-activate feature ON)
[02:54] <ezerhoden> wirelessless: does sudo iwconfig show the correct key?
[02:54] <akurei> jedi06: well, it seems like /dev/sda2 is /boot and /dev/sda3 might be /
[02:54] <powertool08> danbhfive: Thanks for looking. Do you know of anywhere else to look for answers?
[02:54] <wirelessless> ezerhoden, i'm not sure, I'll try and check now
[02:54] <jedi06> ok akurei do i delete those partitions?
[02:54] <jedi06> or what
[02:55] <akurei> PC_Nerd1: compare PATH when logged in as root and normal user
[02:55] <akurei> jedi06: what do you wnat to do?
[02:55] <jedi06> install ubuntu over linux
[02:55] <jedi06> keep xp
[02:55] <akurei> jedi06: delete the linux partitions?
[02:55] <heatmzzr> does anyone know how to get a verizon novatel usb760 to work in ubuntu? Doing so would further reduce my need for MS..........
[02:55] <akurei> jedi06: you want to install ubuntu over XP?
[02:56] <wirelessless> ezerhoden, it doesn't show any key (I'm online via ethernet. iwconfig shows the ethernet connection without key, but no other wireless extensions for lo etho0 or a third wmaster0
[02:56] <jedi06> NOOOO
[02:56] <jedi06> over linux
[02:56] <jeeves_Moss> what causes compiz.real to use 40-70% of the CPU time?
[02:56] <jedi06> it has fedora running akurei
[02:56] <PC_Nerd1> only difference is that root does NOT have /usr/games in its path... they both have my /usr/local/apache2/bin directory in there.. so its jsut sudo.
[02:56] <losher> Bossmanbeta: well mine doesn't, because I keep the rtorrent.rc very simple. Supposedly you can configure this but I opted for stability over features :-(
[02:56] <akurei> jedi06: well for starters: ubuntu IS linux, but well you should delete /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda3 via livecd
[02:56] <ezerhoden> heatmzzr: this is a usb adapter for verizons wireless internet service ?
[02:57] <PC_Nerd1> though sudo echo $PATH does have my custom directory.
[02:57] <jedi06> i can delete it from the installation disk
[02:57] <jedi06> akurei i have the optio
[02:57] <heatmzzr> ezerhoden: yeah
[02:57] <ezerhoden> heatmzzr: wvdial
[02:58] <akurei> jedi06: then use the installer and manually create 3 partitions: 1) ext2 100MB for /boot 2) ext3 about 5GB for / 3) ext3 the rest for /home
[02:58] <akurei> PC_Nerd1: okay, so you can run it as root, but not as normal user?
[02:58] <ezerhoden> heatmzzr: i think wvdialconf will try and set it up automatically
[02:58] <heatmzzr> ezerhoden: ubuntu doesnt recognize modem?? im kinda new to this device and kinda dumb bout linux
[02:58] <MethinX> how do i get rid of m
[02:59] <akurei> m?
[02:59] <carl-m> akurei: why a boot partition? is there hardware that still requires one?
[02:59] <MethinX> ignore last statement i answerd it myself
[02:59] <PC_Nerd1> I can run it as both, but I cannot run it as sudo, thus making me su - whenever I want to run it (it needs sudo to run because it make_sock etc.
[02:59] <ezerhoden> heatmzzr: mine worked, just pluged it in and copied my wvdial.conf over from other laptop
[02:59] <akurei> carl-m: if he wants to encrypt his system later on, he does not need to reinstall the system
[03:00] <carl-m> I suppose
[03:00] <ezerhoden> heatmzzr: run wvdial and see if it finds it. if it does, you are very close
[03:00] <jclbrt> does anyone know if there is away to add more effects into the compiz settings manager
[03:00] <akurei> can you post your sudoers via query PC_Nerd1 ?
[03:00] <ezerhoden> heatmzzr: sorry wvdialconf
[03:00] <jedi06> akurei why ext2 for the /boot
[03:00] <PC_Nerd1> you mean pastebin it?
[03:00] <jedi06> it has ext3 previously
[03:00] <akurei> jedi06: dunno, kinda preference
[03:00] <biouser> what might be good to add animated gif + overdub --> flash?
[03:00] <MethinX> how do i get my Ubuntu to run Skype and b2kskype to run on startup?
[03:00] <akurei> jedi06: could use ext3 though. but i don't see the need for a journaled fs on /boot
[03:01] <akurei> PC_Nerd1: yup
[03:01] <PC_Nerd1> oh hang on.. I think it is in my sudoers hang on ( I reinstalled last night) let me try and fix this
[03:01] <jedi06> well i don't know if i want to procede becuase it might write over my ntfs
[03:01] <akurei> jedi06: just leave /dev/sda1 untouched
[03:01] <jedi06> why doesn't it see the whole disk in the guided partition
[03:01] <akurei> jedi06:  but you should ALWAYS make backups dude
[03:02] <akurei> jedi06: guided is bad... it screwed my disk once
[03:02] <akurei> jedi06: use manual: just check that there's no checked box on /dev/sda1
[03:02] <heatmzzr> ezerhoden:heatmzzr@HeatMzzr-Laptop:~$ wvdialconf
[03:02] <heatmzzr> Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.
[03:02] <heatmzzr> Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
[03:02] <heatmzzr> Modem Port Scan<*1>: S0   S1   S2   S3
[03:02] <heatmzzr> Sorry, no modem was detected!  Is it in use by another program?
[03:02] <FloodBot2> heatmzzr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:02] <heatmzzr> Did you configure it properly with setserial?
[03:02] <akurei> then everything is fine, jedi06
[03:03] <jhirley> using ubuntu 8.10 intrepid, i am trying to get my phone to to sync with evolution , anyone have any pointers ?
[03:03] <akurei> what phone?
[03:03] <jhirley> blackjack 2
[03:04] <akurei> mhh sorry, don't know that phone. tried searching on google?
[03:04] <LurkersA> Can anyone tell me why this is not working? "chsh -s /usr/bin/fish"
[03:04] <jhirley> yes,  looked and some out of date info on multisync
[03:05] <jhirley> its a windows 6  mobile phone
[03:05] <akurei> LurkersA: is the shell in /etc/shells ?
[03:05] <PC_Nerd1> how can I reload the sudoers file?  as in make changes active in sudo ?
[03:05] <akurei> PC_Nerd1: just edit it via visudo command
[03:05] <danbhfive> powertool08: sorry, no idea
[03:05] <carl-m> PC_Nerd1: run sudo again, it won't be cached
[03:05] <PC_Nerd1> just did.... ok
[03:05] <Melik> melik is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported. << anyone know where the "sudoers" file is ?
[03:06] <carl-m> Melik: /etc/sudoers
[03:06] <akurei> Melik: /etc/sudoers
[03:06] <Nomexous> PC_Nerd1: Changes to sudoers are effective the next time you use sudo
[03:06] <Melik> thanks carl-m  and akurei
[03:06] <djabbour> udevtest isn't provided by the udev package? what gives?
[03:06] <carl-m> anyone here tried installing amazonmp3 on x64 without a chroot?
[03:06] <akurei> Melik: edit it via visudo only
[03:06] <Melik> yeah akurei  will do
[03:06] <akurei> aight
[03:06] <Melik> ok gotta drop to root shell
[03:06] <Melik> brb
[03:07] <_Vi_> akurei: what happens if you use gedit instead to edit sudoers file?
[03:07] <bpkia> ff
[03:07] <carl-m> _Vi_: man visudo
[03:07] <akurei> _Vi_: dunno, never tried that. not that adventurous. but it says you should use visduo.
[03:08] <carl-m> I jsut use nano
[03:08] <bpkia> hoi
[03:08] <_Vi_> ah, well i'd never use anything else besides Vi i was just curious
[03:08] <carl-m> well, that works too if you don't need locking and don't munge the syntax
[03:09] <Milk_Rulz> does anybody here know how to install Counter Strike 2D?
[03:09] <cjae> what name are the ttf fonts packages installed under
[03:09] <LurkersA> Can anyone tell me why this is not working? "chsh -s /usr/bin/fish"
[03:09] <_Vi_> the M$ ones cjae ?
[03:09] <carl-m> cjae: ttf-foo
[03:10] <scurvy> I took a pvr card out of my ubuntu 804 box and now all i get is a white screen
[03:10] <cjae> carl thanks
[03:10] <jclbrt> does anyone know of a place to get screensavers
[03:10] <jedi06> akurei do i use primary or logical for the new partitions
[03:11] <akurei> jedi06: use primary for /boot. the rest is logical
[03:11] <jclbrt> i tried gnome-look but they do not have any
[03:11] <akurei> though i do thing that /boot 'could' be on logical, too
[03:11] <akurei> -thing + think
[03:11] <jedi06> and that is ext2
[03:11] <akurei> y
[03:11] <akurei>  can someone pls tell me how to do this: I got a script that's on my server. I am logged in via ssh and want to start the script. it does start without problems, but when i end my ssh connection, my script stops, and it shouldn't. I want it to keep running after logout. Appending '%' does not work either. Any suggestions? Shell is bash
[03:11] <scurvy> I took a pvr card out of my ubuntu 804 box and now all i get is a white screen.  anyone know what i need to do?
[03:12] <akurei> pvr?
[03:12] <jedi06> ok so what is the difference in primary and logical
[03:12] <nikrud> !screen | akurei
[03:12] <carl-m> jedi06: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_partition#PC_BIOS_partition_types
[03:12] <PC_Nerd1> ive just made my user ALL=(ALL) ALL    however sudo env | sort outputs a path without the custom directory in it.... weird?
[03:12] <Dr_willis> akurei,  scree, or  the 'nohup' command.
[03:13] <akurei> jedi06: short: primary : max 4 partitions logical: more.... long: see wikipedia
[03:13] <Dr_willis> akurei,  screen, or  the 'nohup' command.  can let it continue running.
[03:13] <nikrud> akurei, herm, it used to say more. You can run screen on the remote machine; it allows you to 'detach' from it, leaving processes running, and exit ssh.
[03:13] <exodus_ms> When I try to adjust my appearance through system->preferences->appearance, I get the following message:   Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
[03:13] <akurei> so i type screen and it's awright?
[03:13] <carl-m> akurei: then you detatch the screen with control-a control-d
[03:14] <carl-m> when you want to re-attach you type screen -raAd
[03:14] <nikrud> Dr_willis, you've used screen a lot more than me, you can probably give a 25word clear description
[03:14] <akurei> k, and nohup ?
[03:14] <carl-m> nohup just runs a command in the background
[03:14] <ehehehe> !ops
[03:14] <carl-m> as man nohup says, "nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty"
[03:15] <akurei> i read man nohup like 60 minutes ago
[03:15] <akurei> it seemed the wrong command for that kind of action
[03:15] <akurei> i think i was wrong
[03:15] <Wolverin3> some help http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/108846/
[03:15] <Dr_willis> nohup command
[03:15] <Wolverin3> please
[03:15] <Dr_willis> exit.
[03:15] <Dr_willis> if i recall right
[03:15] <carl-m> akurei: if you will never need to send additional input, nohup is fine. if you have to keep going back to send input, use screen
[03:15] <nikrud> or  disown <tab> <tab> after running a command, then exit
[03:16] <Dr_willis> akurei,  screen is too handy to not learn about. :) it has so many usses heh
[03:16] <unop> nikrud, though, disown doesn't necessarily make the job immune to SIGHUPs
[03:16] <akurei> carl-m: alright. it's for streamripper. i wrote a script that rips my fav stream, then tar.7z's it and uploads it to my rapidshare.com premium account each hour
[03:17] <nikrud> unop, but for the purpose?
[03:17] <PC_Nerd1> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/108848/  thats my suders.  im running as user jack, both jack and root can "run" apachectl, but sudo doesnt know the command, its not in its path ( which ive placed in teh /etc/bash.bashrc)   any suggestions?
[03:17] <carl-m> akurei: that you should just put in a crontab
[03:17] <akurei> i did
[03:17] <carl-m> then you don't need to run it by hand, so no issue with ssh hangups
[03:17] <akurei> anacron /etc/cron.hourly
[03:17] <akurei> it's all set
[03:17] <unop> nikrud, i guess it works .. depends on which process becomes the parent of the job then i think
[03:17] <akurei> but i need to start streamripper  =)
[03:18] <nikrud> unop, why I mentioned screen above: but with talk of nohup I was kinda wondering
[03:18] <carl-m> the crontab can't start it?
[03:18] <akurei> i ln -s'd it to /etc/rc3.d/ but i did not want to reboot my server
[03:18] <akurei> of course it does, but i got 2 seperate scripts
[03:18] <akurei> one for zipping and uploading
[03:18] <akurei> one for ripping the stream
[03:18] <Wolverin3> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/108846/
[03:19] <Wolverin3> HELP!
[03:19] <joeb3_> PC_Nerd1, use the full path or add an alias for the command.
[03:19] <phiqtion> guys, after installing 8.04 i updated nvidia restricted drivers and rebooted to find a black screen, any thoughts?
[03:19] <unop> nikrud, i'm not sure .. but i think with disown the parent of the shell i.e. gnome inherits the children when the shell exits .. in which case, if the user logged out (gnome terminated) the children would recieve the SIGHUP
[03:19] <jedi06> hmm akurei it is complaining about a swap space
[03:19] <unop> nikrud, screen would be quite the perfect solution here, methinks
[03:20] <nikrud> unop, more than I knew before and a testable hypothesis. thanks
[03:20] <PC_Nerd1> how do I "use the full path or add an alias for the command"   Id prefer to have sudo have the same PATH value as all other users, so how can I acheive that?
[03:20] <jhirley> using ubuntu 8.10 intrepid, i am trying to get my windows mobile smartphone to to sync aka activesync with evolution , anyone have any pointers ?
[03:20] <carl-m> jedi06: add a swap partition, as well, unless you're really short on disk space
[03:20] <jedi06> carl-m how big what type etc
[03:20] <joeb3_> PC_Nerd1, it's not sudo, the user must have the same path as the root user.
[03:21] <carl-m> PC_Nerd1: it's not really secure to use PATH
[03:21] <phiqtion> guys, after installing 8.04 i updated nvidia restricted drivers and rebooted to find a black screen, any thoughts?
[03:21] <carl-m> jedi06: same size as your RAM, and type 'swap'
[03:21] <jedi06> carl-m my ram might change in the future
[03:21] <PC_Nerd1> they do, jack and root share an identical path.  sudo doesnt.
[03:21] <akurei> carl-m: did i do it rite? : nohup ./streamripper_rip_stream > /dev/null 2> /dev/null &
[03:21] <carl-m> jedi06: it won't hurt anything
[03:22] <PC_Nerd1> when I su  - and echo$PATH, its the same output as a normal user (jack) however root doesnt have /usr/games   thats the only difference.
[03:22] <jedi06> ok carl-m what type ext3?
[03:22] <jedi06> logical
[03:22] <carl-m> jedi06: for swap space, the type is 'swap'
[03:22] <carl-m> akurei: seems ok
[03:22] <syockit> Can I hold only the current upgrade? I don't want the package to miss the upgrade that supersedes the current (broken) one
[03:22] <jedi06> didn't see that
[03:22] <bestus> andi
[03:22] <akurei> aight, thx
[03:23] <jedi06> ok should i put it at the end as location or beginning
[03:23] <thiebaude> !xubuntu
[03:23] <akurei> ps aux | grep streamripper is fine, too
[03:23] <syockit> I mean, I want to skip the broken upgrade
[03:23] <jedi06> i think i want it at end
[03:23] <throwt> can grub boot from an extended linux partition?
[03:23] <carl-m> jedi06: won't be a big difference for practical purposes
[03:23] <jedi06> i want my other partitiong together
[03:23] <jedi06> logical or primary
[03:24] <evilGUI> Hello I have a box that's running Ubuntu Server and when I ssh into it from this machine it takes 55secs to get the password promt also it lags every few minues
[03:24] <evilGUI> minutes*
[03:24] <evilGUI> I did ssh -v it hangs on debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received
[03:24] <throwt> dont know about the lag, but it sounds like reverse dns issue for login prompt lag
[03:24] <lifenova> jedi06: logical for swap
[03:24] <jedi06> ok
[03:24] <lfaraone> How can I scp the output of a program to a remote host without saving to the disk?
[03:25] <Trapline91> Anyone know where i can get drivers for the belkin 802.11g usb wireless ?
[03:25] <joeb3_> PC_Nerd1, either use sudo -E  or remove the env_reset option in the sudoers file.
[03:25] <carl-m> lfaraone: pipe it to ssh and run cat on the other end
[03:25] <evilGUI_> Reverse dns issue sorry I got a d/c
[03:25] <jedi06> carl-m i said 512 for swap and it gave 509
[03:26] <evilGUI_> my DNS is set to my router 192.168.1.1
[03:26] <lfaraone> carl-m: ok.
[03:26] <carl-m> jedi06: that's ok
[03:26] <lfaraone> carl-m: thanks.
[03:26] <jedi06> well why did it do that
[03:26] <evilGUI_> I'm just trying to run ssh over a local network
[03:26] <carl-m> no problem. you probably want to have ssh keys set up so you don't have to type a passphrase
[03:26] <PeoplesAdvocate> anyone  know the advantages and disadvantages of using IPv6?
[03:27] <evilGUI_> I ran sudo ufw allow 22 but I still can't get it to stop laging
[03:27] <akurei> g2g2bed
[03:27] <akurei> bye every1
[03:27] <cdenny> how do i install cinelerra
[03:28] <cdenny> i am new to ubuntu
[03:28] <gonewestcoast> cdenny: http://cinelerra.org/docs.php
[03:28] <jedi06> hmm on my last partition for /home it doesn't ask me if i want logical or primary
[03:28] <evilGUI_> Would it help if I used opendns?
[03:28] <throwt> apt-get install cinelerra
[03:28] <gonewestcoast> jedi06: You probably used up your four.
[03:28] <PeoplesAdvocate> cdenny: sudo apt-get install cinelerra
[03:28] <PeoplesAdvocate> if its in the repositories
[03:28] <PC_Nerd1> ok, i commented out "defaults           env_reset"  however it doesnt work still.
[03:28] <jedi06> gonewestcoast so do i have to redo everything
[03:29] <carl-m> evilGUI_: no, that isn't the dns issue they mean
[03:29] <PC_Nerd1> I guess its easier to jsut symlink afterall :P
[03:29] <gonewestcoast> jedi06: What're you attempting to do?
[03:29] <unop> PeoplesAdvocate,  that's a question for #networking  .. but http://www.blurtit.com/q570064.html and http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2009/01/advantages-of-ipv6-next-generation.html
[03:29] <carl-m> evilGUI_: I don't know why it's lagging, sorry
[03:29] <jedi06> well install ubuntu
[03:29] <easteregg> this might be a pretty bad question haah but how would i detect a new piece of hardware on ubuntu server?
[03:30] <jedi06> yes there is now 5 sda's
[03:30] <evilGUI_> I am behind a WRT54G could that cause it?
[03:30] <Jatinder> I forgot my Ubuntu admin password..anything I could do?
[03:30] <jedi06> under /dev/sda
[03:30] <carl-m> evilGUI_: you said this is all local machines?
[03:30] <evilGUI_> everything is connected to that
[03:30] <evilGUI_> carl-m: Yes
[03:30] <carl-m> then no, that is unlikely to be the problem
[03:30] <jedi06> what should i do now?
[03:30] <lifenova> jedi06: what other OS's do you have? any?
[03:30] <cdenny> PeoplesAdvocate:  thank you, so after I get a "package" for something I do sudo apt-get install "name of stuff"?
[03:30] <jedi06> i have XP on /dev/sda1
[03:31] <jedi06> and i'm installing ubuntu over fedora
[03:31] <codename> Hey guys! I have an issue I have a Windows Vista / Ubuntu 8.10 dual-boot system, but when I boot into Windows and reboot back into Ubuntu, there I get an error that says something to the extent of "ACPI" "Status C" Then my motherboard won't stop beeping, until I reboot, but once I reboot it's fine.
[03:31] <lifenova> jedi06: and you don't already have a seperate home, right?
[03:31] <jedi06> no i need to make one
[03:31] <jedi06> that is the 5th
[03:32] <carl-m> codename: sounds like a flaw in one of the drivers, I've heard of similar things
[03:32] <PC_Nerd1> is it easy to run a small dns server in order to be able to create subdomain.localhost, and only to have it have the localhost records etc?     ie - have an internal DNS and an external DNS all defined in the one network? (simple home network, one router/modem etc)
[03:32] <lifenova> jedi06: here's what I have set up. delete your fedora partition altogether
[03:32] <jedi06> i can make home first before i make the swap
[03:32] <jedi06> lifenova i already did that
[03:32] <codename> Yeah, I don't see what could be causing that though.
[03:32] <lifenova> jedi06: then make an extended of about 20 gig
[03:32] <carl-m> PC_Nerd1: usually you use /etc/hosts
[03:32] <codename> I have a USB headset, that was plugged in, then I unplugged it and rebooted back into Ubuntu
[03:32] <codename> That might have caused it
[03:32] <codename> Not sure,  the USB headset might be a factort
[03:32] <jedi06> for what lifenova
[03:32] <lifenova> jedi06: in the extended, make one for your root filesystem, and then your swap
[03:33] <carl-m> codename: probably the Windows driver is leaving the chip in a state that the linux driver doesn't expect
[03:33] <lifenova> jedi06: and then make a primary for home
[03:33] <PC_Nerd1> ah ok- so that will let me define additional locations? (I want to have sort of a private DNS to my network in order to "image" another server, so that subdomains and vhosts on apache can remain the same/similar
[03:33] <evilGUI_> in my resolv.conf I have domain domain.invalid and search domain.invalid
[03:33] <codename> Yeah probably, so when I boot back into Windows, which is rarely, you think I should just shut down, then turn my computer on again?
[03:33] <cdenny> carl-m are you using wikipedia servers?
[03:33] <carl-m> PC_Nerd1: man -s 5 hosts
[03:33] <PC_Nerd1> ok ty
[03:33] <carl-m> cdenny: using them?
[03:33] <jedi06> 20gb for root and swap i have about 30gb total
[03:34] <cdenny> n=cbm@wikipedia/cbm
[03:34] <PeoplesAdvocate> cdenny: yeah, but you have to know if its in there, I usually do sudo apt-cache search (name of package), to see if its there
[03:34] <lifenova> jedi06: sorry, 5 gig is about the bare min I'd say for root, but you can give more to let it have more to breathe. I misspoke when I said 20
[03:34] <cdenny> PeoplesAdvocate:  ok thanks
[03:35] <jedi06> ok how do you make an extended partition
[03:35] <lifenova> jedi06: should be an option in gparted
[03:35] <evilGUI_> Can I delete those?
[03:35] <cdenny> PeoplesAdvocate: uhoh error!
[03:36] <jedi06> nope I'm using the installation ubuntu disk
[03:36] <dayo> jedi06: Choose 'Local' to make an extended partition
[03:36] <PeoplesAdvocate> cdenny: error?
[03:36] <cdenny> PeoplesAdvocate: since Im on a virtual machine I believe my vram is too low :(
[03:36] <jedi06> there is no local
[03:36] <jedi06> you mean logical
[03:36] <cdenny> PeoplesAdvocate: i g2g and change the vmx files.
[03:37] <dayo> jedi06: Logical. Sorry
[03:37] <phiqtion> guys, after installing 8.04 i updated nvidia restricted drivers and rebooted to find a black screen, any thoughts?
[03:37] <Aleran> what command can i run to output whether my system is 32bit or 64bit?
[03:37] <dayo> Aleran: sudo lshw
[03:38] <carl-m> Aleran: uname -a
[03:38] <dayo> Aleran: also try: grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo
[03:38] <gonewestcoast> Aleran: dmesg
[03:39] <carl-m> Aleran: there are two issues: 1. what processor you have 2. what kernel you are running
[03:39] <gonewestcoast> Aleran: file $BINARY
[03:39] <jedi06> dayo you mean make a new partition for /dev/sda the root sda
[03:39] <Aleran> awesome
[03:39] <dayo> jedi06: what are u trying to do?
[03:39] <Aleran> thanks dayo, carl-m, gonewestcoast
[03:39] <carl-m> Aleran: /proc/cpuinfo will tell you the cpu. uname -a will tell you the kernel
[03:39] <dayo> Aleran: u're welcome :-(
[03:39] <easteregg> how can i detect new hardware + load modules?
[03:39] <jedi06> install ubuntu i will have more that 4 partitions so i have to make one extended
[03:39] <dayo> Aleran: typo. that's :-)
[03:40] <dayo> lol
[03:40] <jedi06> i need a / /boot /home swap and there is one for ntfs my XP partition
[03:40] <dayo> jedi06: what are the partitions u want to have?
[03:40] <Aleran> carl-m, cool. I was looking for kernel but thanks for the info.
[03:40] <lifenova> jedi06: wait, swap should be logical so you'd have exactly 4
[03:41] <dayo> jedi06: i would make /boot and /home primary. then / and swap logical
[03:41] <jedi06> ok i'm starting over
[03:41] <ryanakca> If I have an NVidia GeForce 7600 GS, and I want to enable my framebuffer, should I uncomment 'vesafb' or 'nvidiafb' in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer ?
[03:41] <carl-m> jedi06: the main point is, don't delete your existing ntfs partition
[03:42] <jedi06> i'm not
[03:42] <carl-m> make a big partition for /root, maybe 8gb, a swap partition, and put the rest in /home
[03:42] <carl-m> if you need to make some of them logical partitions, make home and swap logical
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> jedi06 you can take all of the space left from your ntfs, make it one big extended and place all of your partitions swap etc in the logical
[03:45] <you_had_me> hello i just installed Ubuntu with the wubi-installer
[03:45] <you_had_me> now when i boot ubuntu my screen appears big
[03:45] <you_had_me> how can i change it so the screen-resolution or w/e is a little smaller?
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> you_had_me Please read the faq and understand what wubi is, and how it differs from a regular partition installation
[03:46] <Uplink> how can i install shockwave player on my Firefox?
[03:46] <you_had_me> i under-stand what it is Jack_Sparrow
[03:46] <you_had_me> i installed it on a dell pc and im having troubles with it on a HP pc
[03:46] <Flannel> Uplink: There's no shockwave for Linux, you'll have to use wine.
[03:46] <Uplink> Flannel: oh man wth! why nottt
[03:47] <Flannel> Uplink: Because they've never released a Linux version
[03:47] <you_had_me> i just need to know how to change the screen so the desktop isn't so big
[03:47] <you_had_me> any ideas?
[03:47] <antiver> you_had_me you can increase font sizes in system -> preferences -> appearance
[03:47] <yagga> i am getting an error from setting up a share using cifs i read somewhere (4got) that cifs is "dgraded" what can i use instaed of cifs
[03:47] <amdpox> anyone got distcc working on ubuntu?
[03:48] <carl-m> you_had_me: is the problem that the resoltion is too high, or too low?
[03:48] <amdpox> It appears to be running according to ps
[03:48] <you_had_me> antiver not the font size but the desktop its self is to big
[03:48] <amdpox> and nmap on the server finds it, but not from the client
[03:48] <Lemonwedge> can someone please recommend a program that i can use to moniter and change my fan speed?
[03:48] <you_had_me> on my other dell pc it was way smaller
[03:48] <carl-m> you_had_me: you can lower the resolution in system->preferences->screen resolution
[03:48] <antiver> you_had_me i know what you're actually looking for, but i can't remember what its called.. :(
[03:49] <antiver> dot pitch? no..
[03:49] <you_had_me> ok thank you carl-m
[03:49] <you_had_me> thank you for trying antiver
[03:49] <yagga> !cifs
[03:50] <carl-m> increasing from the default resolution is harder. when I installed I had to edit xorg.conf to set the hsync and vsync for my monitor
[03:50] <you_had_me> hm
[03:50] <antiver> you_had_me GOT IT!
[03:50] <you_had_me> yeah when i installed the desktop was so big it even said "auto-adjust" but that could be my monitor
[03:50] <you_had_me> yippie ;]
[03:50] <antiver> go to page where you can change font sizes
[03:51] <antiver> hit Details...
[03:51] <antiver> and change the dots per inch setting
[03:51] <you_had_me> hmm ok i will try that :D
[03:51] <carl-m> antiver: you want that to match the actual dpi of your monitor
[03:51] <antiver> that's designed to adjust it so that a 72 point font appears as exactly 1 inch on your screen (that's the standard size)
[03:51] <you_had_me> hmm
[03:52] <carl-m> well, it measures the number of pixels per inch
[03:52] <you_had_me> oh and is "MythUbunutu" worth trying?
[03:52] <antiver> carl-m yeah, it should match what your monitor is designed for, but if you want it bigger than what it should be, that's how you can tweak it
[03:52] <Flannel> you_had_me: Its one of the easiest ways of getting MythTV working.
[03:52] <you_had_me> ;]
[03:52] <amdpox> !distcc > amdpox
[03:52]  * amdpox slaps ubottu
[03:52]  * you_had_me :O
[03:53] <Lemonwedge> how can i figure out which processor i have?
[03:53] <you_had_me> are you on XP or ubunutu?
[03:53] <carl-m> Lemonwedge: /proc/cpuinfo
[03:53] <exodus_ms> having problems with display. gnome-display dameon cannot start? used crtl+alt+f1 using irssi at the moment. Not sure what to do from here?
[03:54] <Lemonwedge> hmm?
[03:54] <amdpox> Lemonwedge, type "less /proc/cpuinfo" in a terminal
[03:54] <Lemonwedge> type in terminal or is that a location i need to go to
[03:55] <Lemonwedge> alright thanks
[03:56] <you_had_me> so many ppl
[03:56] <craigbass1976> sudo apt-get install samba--- will that allow me to mount up shares that are on windows boxes?
[03:56] <amdpox> craigbass1976, I'm pretty sure ubuntu can do it out of the box
[03:57] <amdpox> (I thought samba was installed by default?)
[03:57] <nomasteryoda> it is amdpox
[03:57] <nomasteryoda> the client
[03:57] <dwade09> i need someone who has 700mb ram and running fusion with in intel vid card, tell me how it runs and if they have hangups ?
[03:57] <craigbass1976> amdpox, oops, I'm using xubuntu.  Forgot to mention that.  I know I see a way to browse network shares in regular ubuntu, just not in xub.  I'll ask in #xubuntu
[03:57] <nomasteryoda> samba server would be to share with windows boxen
[03:57] <HorrorHouse> I can't view this website with ubuntu: http://trmproductions.net/index.php
[03:57] <amdpox> craigbass1976, good plan :)
[03:57] <HorrorHouse> why?
[03:58] <HorrorHouse> My resolution is ok
[03:58] <HorrorHouse> but it just wont show
[03:58] <HorrorHouse> Help?
[03:58] <you_had_me> ;o
[03:58] <carl-m> craigbass1976: start by reading a tutorial on mounting samba shares. you won'
[03:58] <craigbass1976> HorrorHouse, works for me
[03:58] <carl-m> won't need the samba server package
[03:58] <megazorg> dwade09: I have 750, Intel 845, effects run ok, no hangups (although I don't use them much, that box is a server)
[03:58] <HorrorHouse> Really
[03:58] <heatmzzr> what is the command in terminal to delete a file
[03:58] <amdpox> HorrorHouse, is this a bad marketing attempt, or are you serious?
[03:59] <HorrorHouse> which ubuntu are you using?
[03:59] <HorrorHouse> craig
[03:59] <craigbass1976> carl-m, just mount -t smbfs (or is it cifs these days) share /mount/point ?
[03:59] <carl-m> heatmzzr: rm
[03:59] <carl-m> craigbass1976: yes, something like that
[03:59] <craigbass1976> HorrorHouse, xubuntu hardy
[03:59] <amdpox> HorrorHouse, the browser is the relevant bit
[03:59] <craigbass1976> HorrorHouse, took forever to load though
[03:59] <HorrorHouse> oh wait
[03:59] <HorrorHouse> it loaded
[03:59] <HorrorHouse> It takes awhile
[03:59] <HorrorHouse> thanks anyway
[03:59] <doug_> hey everyone
[04:00] <dwade09> megazorg,  ah reason i ask is i am on macbook and was goin to install it and use alot the effects, and did not want hangups and such.
[04:00] <craigbass1976> HorrorHouse, Where's the server?  Connection is real slow?
[04:00] <HorrorHouse> Idk
[04:00] <VaxNam> Hello again everyone. :\
[04:00] <you_had_me> hi
[04:00] <HorrorHouse> I think in the US
[04:01] <you_had_me> would 1 GB ram AMD proccessor 1.80 ghz run fine with the effects?
[04:01] <cdenny> sweet cinelerra works
[04:01] <heatmzzr> what would be the command in terminal to move a file
[04:01] <megazorg> dwade09: My box is an (old) PC, Dell P4 2.6Ghz, 756MB, Intel card,... cannot say anything about mac
[04:01] <jhirley> mv source dest
[04:01] <cdenny> wow i have no idea how to use cinelerra
[04:02] <megazorg> dwade09: Same box, running F9, fusion works fine, but performance is not the best
[04:02] <dwade09> megazorg,  i have 1.68 ghz and all intell.
[04:02] <Shakedown> I've tried everything I could find to enable direct rendering for my ATI card, but to no success.  Anybody able to help?
[04:02] <jhirley> using ubuntu 8.10 intrepid, i am trying to get my windows mobile smartphone to to sync aka activesync with evolution , anyone have any pointers ?
[04:02] <carl-m> craigbass1976: I have no problem fetching that page with wget
[04:02] <megazorg> dwade09: you won't know until you try it.
[04:03] <cdenny> does evolution connect to hotmail.
[04:03] <jhirley> using it for pop3
[04:03] <you_had_me> any xbox gamers?
[04:03] <dwade09> megazorg,  pfft figured, i do thank for doing, that, i think i wont install ubuntu, then as i would ran them alot, and with a program that is a resource hog.
[04:03] <cdenny> you_had_me: ye
[04:03] <toyo|desk> are there any cd burning apps in ubuntu that support writing cd-text?
[04:04] <you_had_me> cdenny do you play with XBConnect or xlink kai?
[04:04] <theCompanion> How could I recursively go through a directory and delete every .php file?
[04:04] <toyo|desk> or do I have to reboot and use nero?
[04:04] <carl-m> toyo|desk: k3b apparently does

[04:04] <carl-m> theCompanion: use find, xargs, and rm
[04:05] <VaxNam> I've been messing with UNetbootin and i keep getting an error when i restart to boot "Could not find kernel image: linux" I was wondering if anyone here had any idea? I checked out the flash drive and it only has one file "ldlinux.sys"

[04:05] <theCompanion> -name is the directory name?
[04:05] <you_had_me> cdenny i meant xbox original lol.. ;]
[04:05] <onats> !sampleconfig
[04:05] <carl-m> theCompanion: -name is an argument to find
[04:05] <cdenny> you_had_me: i have that too
[04:05] <pawan1> hi
[04:05] <you_had_me> like h2 cs stuff like that
[04:06] <pawan1> how to repair grub
[04:06] <you_had_me> ;]
[04:06] <toyo|desk> so other than k3b there are none?
[04:06] <carl-m> theCompanion: you will want to look up a tutorial before you run any recursive deletion commands
[04:06] <Fezzler> Is there a way to go back to a boot sequence by date?  I've got my Ubuntu PC all screwed up.
[04:06] <cdenny> you_had_me: xbox360 plays that
[04:06] <carl-m> toyo|desk: no idea
[04:06] <syockit> I ought to learn how to use xargs these days
[04:06] <you_had_me> i know
[04:06] <carl-m> theCompanion: it's always a little risky
[04:06] <you_had_me> red-ring of death on mine right now
[04:06] <toyo|desk> alright screw it nero it is
[04:06] <Fezzler> I'd love to go back and boot from a few days ago
[04:06] <cdenny> you_had_me: oh i see
[04:06] <cdenny> i dont have live on xbox
[04:06] <you_had_me> cdenny just that program a try for halo2 and counter striek
[04:06] <VaxNam> I've been messing with UNetbootin and i keep getting an error when i restart to boot "Could not find kernel image: linux" I was wondering if anyone here had any idea? I checked out the flash drive and it only has one file "ldlinux.sys"  Any Ideas, anyone?
[04:06] <you_had_me> strike* in pm..
[04:06] <pawan1> cant load os
[04:07] <syockit> Fezzler: ah, you mean rollback. That depends on what you installed
[04:07] <you_had_me> VaxNam thats the only file that wont copy to my usb..
[04:07] <cdenny> you_had_me: i have no idea what your talking about anymore
[04:07] <Fezzler> syockit>> yes
[04:07] <megazorg> dwade09: then, as I said, you won't know until you try it...  good luck
[04:07] <you_had_me> lol.. so confusing meh?
[04:07] <VaxNam> you_had_me: this is driving me crazy
[04:07] <syockit> Fezzler: unfortunately, ubuntu does not save states
[04:07] <Fezzler> syockit>> UGH
[04:07] <syockit> Fezzler: you may have to manually check what you upgraded and downgrade accordingly
[04:07] <you_had_me> yeah i know i tried installing gOS on a flash drive and the only file that wouldn't copy is that one
[04:07] <you_had_me> so it wouldn't even boot the main screen
[04:08] <you_had_me> so i just gave up and went to dual-booting
[04:08] <syockit> Fezzler: you may need a live CD, and some knowledge of chroot
[04:08] <dwade09> megazorg,  lol. i really dont want to try now, as it would be too much hassle with drivers and such. as well as lack of hdd space for a partition i would not use.
[04:08] <Fezzler> I've lost my video settings, my wireless setup and my default panel
[04:08] <VaxNam> Well I have no way to install you_had_me , I have a Netbook and I don't own an external CD drive.
[04:08] <you_had_me> thats gotta suck..
[04:08] <Fezzler> syockit>> PC is ok, its all the settings
[04:08] <VaxNam> Indeed.
[04:08] <you_had_me> maybe add a external dvd-drive?
[04:08] <VaxNam> you_had_me: I have no sound or anything. I have no external devices
[04:08] <syockit> Fezzler: I don't think user settings are backed up
[04:09] <syockit> I might be wrong though
[04:09] <you_had_me> wow man i would literally cry
[04:09] <syockit> me too
[04:09] <you_had_me> :"(
[04:09] <VaxNam> you_had_me: hahahahah
[04:09] <you_had_me> lol
[04:09] <VaxNam> i'm so angry right now
[04:09] <you_had_me> i mean no sound is enough but no external dvd drive :'(
[04:10] <theCompanion> heck yeah, that command worked
[04:10] <theCompanion> and it saved me hours of time
[04:10] <syockit> VaxNam: can't recreate the boot disk?
[04:10] <you_had_me> oh and carl-m its a little better but its still a little to big
[04:10] <Fezzler> Somehow I deleted my default GNOME panel.  How do i restore?
[04:10] <Flannel> VaxNam: You can likely boot to a USB
[04:10] <theCompanion> I risked it buddy, carl-m, and it worked
[04:10] <VaxNam> flannel: that's what i've been trying to do
[04:10] <carl-m> theCompanion: like I was saying, you just jave to double-check before you do any recursive deleting
[04:10] <Flannel> !install | VaxNam
[04:10] <you_had_me> :o
[04:10] <VaxNam> I
[04:11] <Flannel> VaxNam: that page may have some good information (first link)
[04:11] <VaxNam> I'm trying the USB
[04:11] <VaxNam> I did use that page.
[04:11] <theCompanion> carl-m the first time I ran it, I took off the -rm and just looked at what it found
[04:11] <pawan1> how to repair grub
[04:11] <theCompanion> and then I ran it raw style
[04:11] <Flannel> !grub | pawan1, first link
[04:11] <carl-m> that's the safest thing to do
[04:11] <pawan1> list of commands at grub prompt
[04:12] <you_had_me> hey Flannel about that tiny url link it says"Install any Linux distro directly from hard disk without burning any DVD
[04:12] <you_had_me> " would i be able to install gOS with that?
[04:12] <majnoon> !ot
[04:12] <dwade09> can anyone who is on a macbook with ubuntu running give me some help?
[04:13] <VaxNam> I've been doing everything according to this and no go https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[04:13] <Flannel> you_had_me: I'm not familiar with the specifics of gOS, nor that webpage.  But from a quick glance, I'd say yes.
[04:13] <pawan1> what is this error

[04:14] <pawan1> how
[04:14] <you_had_me> iv'e been waiting to install gOS but it wouldn't copy one file to my usb so it just failed everytime
[04:14] <VaxNam> I tried GOS
[04:14] <VaxNam> I didn't like it
[04:14] <carl-m> pawan1: sudo fdisk -l
[04:14] <syockit> you_had_me: I know there's a tool that automate live disk creation, but I forgot the name.
[04:14] <you_had_me> ahh
[04:14] <you_had_me> i would like that
[04:14] <you_had_me> lol
[04:15] <j> what is it???
[04:15] <carl-m> I think that's unetbootin
[04:15] <you_had_me> ;]
[04:15] <Guest72548> Am I on lin
[04:15] <carl-m> in fact I have a link in my system menu for it
[04:16] <you_had_me> carl-m when i try to install gOS with unetbootin it takes forever to load and after 2-4 minutes i just turn off my pc
[04:16] <you_had_me> :(
[04:16] <syockit> you_had_me: http://unetbootin.wiki.sourceforge.net/supported-distributions lists gOS 3.0
[04:16] <syockit> drats, basically that was ot
[04:17] <dwade09> anyone on that is running ubuntu on  a macbook?
[04:17] <carl-m> Guest72548: what?
[04:17] <Gnea> !macbook
[04:17] <you_had_me> thnx syockit
[04:17] <syockit> you_had_me: That happens on my 8.10 disk too
[04:17] <syockit> you_had_me: I had to restart a number of times before the installation manages to run completely
[04:17] <you_had_me> hmm
[04:18] <you_had_me> i'll give it another try
[04:18] <Gnea> dwade09: you're better off just asking your question
[04:18] <syockit> It always gets stuck at certain packages, like libstdc++ or something
[04:18] <you_had_me> :)
[04:18] <Guest72548> how many people is here??
[04:18] <you_had_me> a lot
[04:19] <carl-m> Guest72548: 1315
[04:19] <Gnea> #ubuntu: Total of 1314 nicks
[04:19] <you_had_me> lol
[04:19] <dwade09> Gnea, i am wanting to know if the keyboard on the macbook with macosx runs as smoothly as it does on ubuntu as well as the mouse via two figertips for right click.
[04:19] <Gnea> (give or take a few ;) )
[04:19] <pawan1> how to make grub select other os than ubuntu as default
[04:20] <pawan1> i want to load vista as default
[04:20] <Dr_willis>  pawan1  look in /boot/grub/menu.lst - edit the 'default' line
[04:20] <Jack_Sparrow> pawan1 edit menu.lst
[04:20] <pawan1> how
[04:20] <Gnea> dwade09: a keyboard is a keyboard, and mouse functionality can easily be tweaked, if need be.
[04:20] <Dr_willis> pawan1,  rember grub starts counting at 0 .  so if window is the 5th entry on the menu.. it will be item 4
[04:20] <Guest72548> ok, I understand, so, i need to do a question, somebody know a P2P software for ubuntu, or any good pago to download soft's
[04:20] <Guest72548> ??
[04:21] <rww> !p2p | Guest72548
[04:21] <jedi06_> in my install i chose the option to be able to access my documents and setting of my XP partition but it is taking a long time now why can't it just mount it and be done with it.  It is stuck at importing documents and settings
[04:21] <pawan1> what is the command
[04:21] <Guest72548> but i looking for something like ares, more for music
[04:21] <Gnea> pawan1: default #
[04:21] <rww> pawan1: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:22] <albuntu> Guest72548: try frostwire
[04:22] <dwade09> Gnea,  i understand the keyboard is a keyboard but i have f6 for the numpad and jkluio789 are my numpad numbers and then theres the fn button and a few others, like the sound button and he second enter button.
[04:22] <Guest72548> and sooo thanks for the advice
[04:22] <pawan1> after that
[04:22] <Gnea> dwade09: right, so it should be able to load a different keymap (such as dvorak) and, i do believe that ubuntu is smart enough to figure it out with a bit of help
[04:23] <Gnea> dwade09: if you want to be sure, burn a CD and boot it into the livecd mode and see how well it works there
[04:23] <scmoney360> anybody have any walkthrus on how to install gtk theme engine?
[04:23] <dwade09> Gnea,  there is a prob with the live cd as everything works on live cd but not after you do the install.
[04:24] <Gnea> !changethemes | scmoney360
[04:24] <Gnea> dwade09: 8.04 or 8.10?
[04:24] <hsapphire> list
[04:24] <dwade09> tried both.
[04:24] <dwade09> on live cd's but i have had ubuntu exp, from past uses.
[04:25] <you_had_me> hmm
[04:25] <you_had_me> 707 kb/s from a torret for gOS
[04:25] <Fezzler> I know my correct nvidia driver is installed, but Ubuntu seems to have stopped using it.  How do get it working again?
[04:25] <you_had_me> anyone have a link for DSL?
[04:25] <Gnea> dwade09: is the keyboard totally dead or does it partially work?
[04:26] <dwade09> Gnea,  and i have used live cd on a comp i made all drivers worked and all things operational then when i did the install it did not work right and took me two months to get all the drievrs as at the time ubuntu had a hard time with intel vid card.
[04:26] <Fezzler> I'm at command line because X gives me triple images
[04:26] <rww> !ot | you_had_me
[04:26] <Bllasae> you_had_me:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSL
[04:26] <Dr_willis> you_had_me,  google.com  has them
[04:26] <Dr_willis> :)
[04:26] <you_had_me> lol
[04:26] <pawan1> hi
[04:26] <rww> hsapphire: This channel doesn't have files available for download. For help with ubottu, type "/msg ubottu !list"
[04:26] <dwade09> Gnea,  i dont have ubuntu installed on this mac. i am thinking about it very hard but i have only 50gb hdd space and 15 of it is free.
[04:27] <mouseboyx> fezzler, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf , does ubuntu still actually use an xorg config file or is it just a dummy these days?
[04:27] <heatmzzr> what was the command in terminal if you want to trace adding a device
[04:27] <you_had_me> i foundz ones! lol
[04:27] <heatmzzr> something var messages or something
[04:27] <rww> mouseboyx: Xorg does a lot of autodetection these days, but respects any settings in xorg.conf
[04:27] <h00k> rww, btw, I haven't been looking for the bar-caps-transparent thing.  I hope you didn't waste too much time with it
[04:27] <Gnea> dwade09: ever tried this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=373298
[04:27] <Scubidus> Wtf in 2 weeks my kernel went from new to old
[04:27] <rww> heatmzzr: "dmesg" or "cat /var/log/messages"?
[04:28] <rww> h00k: nope, I forgot about it, to be honest :O
[04:28] <pawan1> how to make grub select other os than ubuntu as default
[04:28] <h00k> rww, cool. :D
[04:28] <Gnea> Scubidus: 8.10?
[04:28] <mouseboyx> well, he just needs to run x with the vesa driver and reinstall the correct nvidia driver
[04:28] <Fezzler> mouseboyx>> it is there
[04:28] <dwade09> Gnea,  nope
[04:28] <Scubidus> now the same packages I used 2 weeks ago are now tellin me that I have to download pakage-*.*-old-tar.bz2
[04:28] <Scubidus> Gnea: yea
[04:29] <Gnea> Scubidus: then welcome to open source software and a version of Ubuntu that changes constantly :)
[04:29] <cdenny> what can I do in ubuntu
[04:29] <Scubidus> Gnea: HELP ME
[04:29] <you_had_me> cdenny have fun (:
[04:29] <rww> Scubidus: Kernels update frequently, hence us recommending that users use the kernel packages in the repositories, which update automatically and don't involve downloading any tar.bz2 weirdness
[04:29] <rootman> good morning, i am a ubuntu 8.10 lover, i love it just love fg
[04:29] <Gnea> Scubidus: absolutely not. you haven't told me what the problem is.
[04:29] <Dr_willis> cdenny,  whatever you want.
[04:30] <Scubidus> Gnea: And what do you mean by that?
[04:30] <cdenny> i think ill get some more wallpapers
[04:30] <Scubidus> Gnea: It should be easy
[04:30] <Shakedown> I need help enabling direct rendering! I've tried all I could find.
[04:30] <Gnea> Scubidus: pardon?
[04:30] <tawd> can anyone help me?  i've used 64-bit version of ubuntu in the past but have had problems.  should i use the 32-bit version on my 64-machine?
[04:30] <XDS2010> Does anyone know if ubuntu would run well on the Adamo ?
[04:30] <XDS2010> That would kick ass
[04:30] <Dr_willis> tawd,  ive had very few issues with 64bit under 8.10
[04:30] <rww> tawd: if you have problems with the 64-bit version, yes.
[04:30] <binarymutant> XDS2010, whats Adamo?
[04:30] <Dr_willis> tawd,  i cant even think of one issue ive had.. :)
[04:31] <XDS2010> binarymutant: The Dell Adamo
[04:31] <rww> tawd: I run 64-bit fine with no problems, but apparently some people can't...
[04:31] <rww> !requirements | XDS2010
[04:31] <you_had_me> XDS2010 i dont see why it shouldn't?
[04:31] <tawd> thanks guys
[04:31] <XDS2010> rww:  i said "well"
[04:31] <puff> I need a little help with apache/php
[04:31] <Scubidus> what did you mean when you said ﻿(08:29:52 PM) Gnea: Scubidus: absolutely not. you haven't told me what the problem is.
[04:31] <binarymutant> XDS2010, I dont see why it wouldn't install
[04:31] <cdenny> this is so wierd.  im used to spending time fixing vistas problems, but now i dont know what to do with myself
[04:31] <pawan1> how to make grub select other os than ubuntu as default
[04:31] <Scubidus> when I asked for help
[04:31] <XDS2010> rww are you a bot ?
[04:31] <Gnea> Scubidus: you haven't told me what the problem is, only that some package, that you haven't identified, is doing something that, to you, seems odd. no, i'm sorry, i don't see what the problem is.
[04:31] <XDS2010> ;)
[04:31] <you_had_me> ;)
[04:32] <rww> XDS2010: Nope, I just expect people to be able to compare the system requirements and recommendations to what they have without help ;)
[04:32] <binarymutant> XDS2010, it's an intel x86 right? or is it ppc?
[04:32] <XDS2010> binarymutant:  that binary guy is anoying is that you ?
[04:32] <chucknorris> jij
[04:32] <Gnea> !ask
[04:32] <XDS2010> annoying*
[04:32] <puff> Actually, I don't.  odd.  Restarting firefox fixed it.
[04:32] <werdnum> hi!
[04:32] <werdnum> my Firefox is taking up the entire of my screen
[04:32] <cdenny> how should i add ntfs support
[04:32] <werdnum> the menu bar is at the very top
[04:32] <binarymutant> XDS2010, the only nick I use is binarymutant
[04:32] <puff> werdnum: Tell it to stay on its side.
[04:32] <werdnum> (i.e. the title bar is beyond the top)
[04:32] <werdnum> how can I resize it?
[04:32] <syockit> werdnum: gnome panel existent?
[04:33] <Fezzler> mouseboyx>> again, login screen in GNOME is like 4 overlaying duplicate images
[04:33] <XDS2010> >:-|  grr
[04:33] <chucknorris> arrr, I have two ethernet cards. Doing an ifconfig shows me only one, how can I enable the other one too?
[04:33] <werdnum> syockit: On one display, but Firefox seems to overlap it on the other.
[04:33] <rww> werdnum: Hold down the Alt button and drag to move the window until you can see the resize controls.
[04:33] <Dr_willis> werdan7,  hold the alt key. click in the window anywhere, drag it down... is one way to get to it
[04:33] <XDS2010> binarymutant:  That sucks
[04:33] <Gnea> Scubidus: also, it is considered rude to a) use caps and b) to beg for help.  if you can explain your problem, i will gladly try to help you.
[04:33] <factotum> werdnum: hold down the alt button and drag
[04:33] <XDS2010> :(
[04:33] <Dr_willis> oops won nick :)
[04:33] <Dr_willis> lol
[04:33] <binarymutant> XDS2010, what sucks?
[04:33] <Fezzler> mouseboyx>> do I need to drop to command line and edit xorg.conf?
[04:33] <werdnum> factotum: that just selects text on the webpage :/
[04:33] <VaxNam> Anyone know why when i try to install from usb with UNetbootin it only copys one .sys file?
[04:33] <rww> cdenny: Ubuntu comes with NTFS support. If you need help on mounting NTFS partitions, see the factoid I'm about to send youj.
[04:33] <dwade09> Gnea,  as soon as i find my cd came with the macbook i will then try ubuntu. i do not want to take a chance on never able to find the disk again and be stuck with a half working os.
[04:33] <rww> !ntfs | cdenny
[04:33] <mouseboyx> fezzler, kinda, i forgot how to make it so xorg uses vesa driver...
[04:33] <syockit> werdnum: Oh, you have multi-display? Check if gnome panel has window overlapping settings on (kde has this, I don't know about gnome).
[04:33] <XDS2010> binarymutant:  this other dude with the name binary
[04:34] <werdnum> syockit: Well, multiple virtual displays
[04:34] <Gnea> dwade09: tat makes sense - good luck
[04:34] <Dr_willis> werdnum,  you are not doing it right then.. or try clicking on  part of the windows frame
[04:34] <Gnea> *that
[04:34] <Scubidus> Gnea: Could you help me find compat-wireless-2.6-old.tar.bz2 or something that is the same thing
[04:34] <werdnum> syockit: the whole ctrl-alt-left
[04:34] <dwade09> thank you Gnea .
[04:34] <werdnum> Dr_willis: the window frame is off-screen :)
[04:34] <XDS2010> or beginning  of the name anyways binarymutant
[04:34] <Scubidus> Everyone I go I can't find it
[04:34] <Dr_willis> werdnum,  alt-click drag works here forme in my browser, and xchat.. what program are ya trying to move?
[04:34] <itai_michaelson> hi, found an interpid cd laying around - is there anyway i can tell whether its laternate or regular without booting it?
[04:34] <werdnum> Dr_willis: firefox
[04:35] <werdnum> Dr_willis: where are you alt-click-dragging?
[04:35] <mouseboyx> sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx/ nvidia-glx-new ?
[04:35] <XDS2010> I'm not a big Ubuntu user
[04:35] <Gnea> Scubidus: Ubuntu doesn't install .tar.bz2 files from the repositories.... I'm guessing that you don't have access to the system right now, and that english is not your first language?
[04:35] <cdenny> rww: actually i just found a program already in ubuntu repositories called NTFS Configuration tools
[04:35] <XDS2010> Whats better about ubuntu than say SuSe or SW
[04:35] <XDS2010> ?
[04:35] <kansan__> how do i add a user named app to the app group
[04:35] <Flannel> itai_michaelson: Alternate or Regular?  Yes.
[04:35] <Scubidus> ouch it is
[04:35] <O__o> how to defrag ntfs partition in ubuntu?
[04:35] <itai_michaelson> Flannel, how?>
[04:35] <Scubidus> just bad typing and kinda stoned
[04:35] <easteregg> how can i detect for new hardware on ubunu server.. it didnt detect my net card :(
[04:35] <bonez451> any takers on finding intel 82815 drivers for video setup?
[04:35] <binarymutant> XDS2010, Ubuntu > SUSE because of the community we have
[04:35] <nightrid3r> itai_michaelson: check the md5sum
[04:35] <Scubidus> And Im on the system as a matter of fact
[04:35] <syockit> XDS2010: try going to #ubuntu-ot for offtopic discussion
[04:35] <evilGUI_> YEAH! I found my problem with ssh taking forever I changed my DNS to 192.168.1.1
[04:35] <binarymutant> XDS2010, idk what SW is though
[04:35] <Scubidus> Wired to the damn wall
[04:35] <Fezzler> I'm in xorg.conf.  "Device" section does not say nvidia
[04:36] <syockit> XDS2010: woops, wrong channel name
[04:36] <Flannel> itai_michaelson: Look at the files.  Alternate will look like this (assuming 386): http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.list  Desktop, like this: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.list
[04:36] <XDS2010> syockit:  are you a op ?
[04:36] <jedi06> i just installed ubuntu and i restarted and i see a message in order to use you hardware more effieciently you can enable drivers that are not free software and then i just see a blank peach background
[04:36] <XDS2010> syockit:  this isn't OT
[04:36] <TheFunkbomb> Hiya folks.  Quick question.  How can I open the Ubuntu firewall to allow Transmission BT client to work quickly?
[04:36] <XDS2010> syockit:  this is serious business
[04:36] <syockit> XDS2010: not really, but you don't really get answer to such questions here
[04:36] <werdnum> srs byzness.
[04:36] <binarymutant> XDS2010, its #ubuntu-offtopic, this is a support channel btw
[04:36] <carl-m> TheFunkbomb: the ubuntu firewall?
[04:37] <XDS2010> binarymutant:  im asking legitimate support questions
[04:37] <Gnea> Scubidus: it would be extremely beneficial if: a) you tried this again when sober, or b) you could take the time to get exact filenames instead of what you incorrectly remember
[04:37] <\kira> When I run a program I get a error about libwx_gtk2u)richtext-2.8.so.0.... Im guessing it needs the dependency and I dont have it, how can i find out what package in apt has it?
[04:37] <TheFunkbomb> carl-m, yes, the ubuntu firewall
[04:37] <XDS2010> why is ubuntu better ?
[04:37] <XDS2010> why is ubuntu better ? < legit question
[04:37] <binarymutant> XDS2010, comparing 2 flavors isn't support
[04:37] <Flannel> XDS2010: "About" Ubuntu questions are best left to #ubuntu-offtopic, not here.
[04:37] <bonez451> XDS2010: it just is.....!
[04:37] <jedi06> uh what should i do?
[04:37] <XDS2010> binarymutant:  im not comparing anything
[04:38] <itai_michaelson> Flannel, alternate... thanks
[04:38] <Gnea> XDS2010: a support question would entail that you've install or trying to install ubuntu and are having some sort of an issue with it.
[04:38] <binarymutant> XDS2010, your asking for a comparison
[04:38] <carl-m> TheFunkbomb: have you installed or configured routing or a firewall on your computer?
[04:38] <Jatinder> bonez451: Since XDS2010 is asking that question..Could you please answer what is the difference between uBuntu and Fedora
[04:38] <XDS2010> binarymutant:  im asking a legit support question
[04:38] <Flannel> Jatinder, XDS2010:Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, this is for support only, not discussion questions.
[04:38] <XDS2010> Why is ubuntu better
[04:38] <syockit> jedi06: if you don't have problem with the idea of proprietary drivers, you can install them via... uh,I forgot.
[04:38] <Gnea> Scubidus: please don't PM me, keep te discussion here.
[04:38] <Flannel> XDS2010: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:38] <binarymutant> XDS2010, you trolling? because it's really not support
[04:38] <TheFunkbomb> carl-m, I have two I guess.  One is on my router.  I believe that is set up correctly.  I also have the ufw set up too
[04:38] <factotum> XDS2010: actually it isn't; slackware is ask there and you would actually get an enthusiastic answer btw
[04:39] <Gnea> !ot | XDS2010
[04:39] <Neros> Is it possible to take and installed ubuntu system and convert it back into an installable iso? I have set up my server in a virtual machine and want to migrate it to the final hardware
[04:39] <bonez451> ubuntu is a debian derived flavor while fedora stems from redhat... another flavor of linux
[04:39] <werdnum> Hmm, I wonder if I can delete the pre-stored settings about window size and all that jazz.
[04:39] <factotum> Now, moving along...
[04:39]  * werdnum looks
[04:39] <Jatinder> I apologize..i didn't know that...
[04:39] <carl-m> TheFunkbomb: you don't need any firewall software on your ubuntu installation - and the default install has none
[04:39] <jedi06> yes i know that but in the mean time ok do i get it to boot into the desktop
[04:39] <bonez451> Jatinder: how's that for an answer?
[04:39] <Flannel> Jatinder: No problem.  That's why we told you :)
[04:39] <Fezzler> Okay, I edited what looked like a wrong default screen resolution in xorg.conf
[04:39] <TheFunkbomb> carl-m, then I will disable the ubuntu one
[04:39] <TheFunkbomb> thanks
[04:39] <fight> hi all
[04:39] <Jatinder> bonez451: Thanks..nice...
[04:39] <XDS2010> now i know why i use other platforms :)
[04:40] <syockit> jedi06: System->Administration->Restricted Driver Manager
[04:40] <bonez451> Jatinder: do I have it fairly close?
[04:40] <jedi06> i can't get to the desktop
[04:40] <TheFunkbomb> hooray!
[04:40] <XDS2010> its best to stay away from the mainstream
[04:40] <carl-m> TheFunkbomb: I was confused because most people will not install any firewall on their ubuntu system, so they only have router problems
[04:40] <jedi06> just a blank peach screen.
[04:40] <yoyit2> how do you change the background on ubuntu??
[04:40] <TheFunkbomb> carl-m, thank you and welcome to my friends list.  People who have reliable info are added
[04:40]  * Gnea sighs
[04:40] <Neros> Is it possible to take and installed ubuntu system and convert it back into an installable iso? I have set up my server in a virtual machine and want to migrate it to the final hardware
[04:40] <binarymutant> yoyit2, right click on the desktop
[04:40] <Gnea> !pm
[04:40] <Jatinder> bonez451: It does help..I have been using Linux off and on from quite a while..and I am taking this course at my college which is specific to Fedora development..
[04:41] <yoyit2> binarymutant: how do you right click?
[04:41] <jedi06> ok i'm stuck here
[04:41] <Flannel> Gnea: That's not necessary, nor useful.  The party involved already left.
[04:41] <binarymutant> yoyit2, lol your funny
[04:41] <easteregg> how do i do hardware detection on ubuntu server?
[04:41] <carl-m> easteregg: what sort of hardware?
[04:41] <easteregg> netcard
[04:41] <yoyit2> binarymutant: haha.. jk jk
[04:41] <Fezzler> okay, resolution fix.  Now, how can I restore default GNOME panel?
[04:42] <biouser> how to start and stop pulse-audio?
[04:42] <Fezzler> or will I have to "rebuild" it
[04:42] <carl-m> easteregg: it isn't picked up on boot? if not, you can try inserting the module by hand
[04:42] <Neros> Is it possible to take and installed ubuntu system and convert it back into an installable iso? I have set up my server in a virtual machine and want to migrate it to the final hardware
[04:42] <Flannel> !resetpanel | Fezzler
[04:42] <carl-m> if that works, you can add the module to the list of ones that are inserted after boot
[04:42] <Flannel> !repeat | Neros
[04:42] <easteregg> carl-m: how would i know which module it is.. where do i search for modules and their corresponsding hardware
[04:43] <carl-m> Neros: you could just copu the files. or you could use dpkg --get-selections. there are other ways, too
[04:43] <Gnea> Neros: hrm... you could probably use rsync
[04:43] <carl-m> easteregg: search gogle for "linux driver" and your card name/model
[04:43] <jedi06> yes i need some help here why is it all i see is a blank peach screen
[04:43] <jedi06> i just installed ubuntu
[04:43] <Neros> carl-m not all the installed software came from an apt....
[04:43] <Gnea> jedi06: did the hard drive light stop blinking?
[04:44] <Fezzler> "command not found"
[04:44] <cdenny> i cant mount my external ntfs harddrive using ntfs-3g
[04:44] <jedi06> yes gnea
[04:44] <Neros> Gnea you mean use rsync to do a network install?
[04:44] <carl-m> Neros: you can just tar everything up and move it that way
[04:44] <Dr_willis> Neros,  thers some  method to do that.. but ive never done it.. somthing like googling for 'linux live scripts' may find the tools i saw ages ago
[04:44] <PengytheDuckwin> Can somebody help me, I've just installed kde nightly and now, instead of sound, I ge a crackling noise
[04:44] <TheMusicGuy> Hiyo, I finally got my webcam working in mplayer, Cheese, and ekiga. is there a way to make it work with Flash and Facebook too?
[04:44] <syockit> biouser: sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart
[04:44] <jedi06> gnea i saw a brief message first time i booted about enabling drivers that are not free
[04:44] <Dr_willis> Neros,  or you could use mondo/mindo to backup the server to dvd/iso files and restore from them
[04:44] <Gnea> Neros: no no - boot up a livecd on the 'final hardware', then use rsync to copy the system from the virtual machine across the network to the destination drive
[04:44] <cdenny> oops
[04:44] <carl-m> Neros: there is also a program dpkg-repack or similar
[04:44] <cdenny> sorry
[04:45] <binarymutant> TheMusicGuy, what do you mean make your webcam work with flash?
[04:45] <carl-m> it's not hard to make your own .deb files if you don't need them to be very robust
[04:45] <Gnea> jedi06: I guess what I'm asking is, does it ever give you the option to login?
[04:45] <biouser> syockit that hasn't been reliable
[04:45] <jedi06> yes this is after i log in
[04:45] <Neros> ok but what about problems with hardware on the new machine....
[04:45] <cdenny> can you guys see my rules?
[04:45] <jedi06> it give me a blank peach screen
[04:45] <TheMusicGuy> binarymutant:  when you right-click on a flash applet and go to settings there is a tab for webcam access
[04:45] <Gnea> jedi06: and never anything else?
[04:45] <jedi06> never
[04:46] <Gnea> jedi06: do you have another user account on the system?
[04:46] <binarymutant> TheMusicGuy, let me check if my cam works with facebook, do you have flash installed?
[04:46] <TheMusicGuy> yes
[04:46] <Fezzler>  gconftool --recursive-unset: command not found
[04:46] <jedi06> it looks like it tries to load something with the curser wait but it will go away and then i will be stuck here at a blank screen
[04:46] <puff> I am trying to mount an old ubuntu install as a secondary drive in a new machine, so I can pull data off it.
[04:46] <puff> http://pastebin.com/d6cb6e471
[04:46] <jedi06> i just installed ubuntu i did a manual partitioning
[04:47] <syockit> biouser: there's also sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio force-stop
[04:47] <PengytheDuckwin> can somebody help me with a sound problem after installing KDE?
[04:47] <puff> I think /dev/hdc is the old ubuntu install, it appears to be an LVM parittion.
[04:47] <puff> Do I need to do osmething funky to mount it?
[04:47] <Gnea> jedi06: okay, but did you ever make more than 1 regular user account?
[04:47] <phiqtion_> after enabling restricted drivers on a 9300 GPU, i restart to a black screen, any thoughts?
[04:47] <BellinXFelon> how can i put mp3s on my phone through usb on xubuntu?
[04:47] <syockit> biouser: Might want to try that before restarting the daemon
[04:47] <jedi06> Oh i imported docs and setting from XP that is all i did
[04:47] <carl-m> puff: what problem are you having with it?
[04:47] <Gnea> BellinXFelon: depends on the phone
[04:48] <biouser> syockit I think there are stop and start too but they don't seem to work as expected like a reboot
[04:48] <biouser> I am on jaunty though
[04:48] <Gnea> jedi06: it's just a simple 'yes' or 'no' question...
[04:48] <puff> carl-m: Well, given the paste, what -t arg do I use with mount?
[04:48] <jedi06> What do you mean a regualar account i just made mine
[04:48] <biouser> big hope for pulse audio in jaunty
[04:48] <binarymutant> TheMusicGuy, srry I cant find my webcam :(
[04:48] <BellinXFelon> its a sony ericson
[04:48] <syockit> biouser: force-stop should kill all pulseaudio daemon
[04:48] <carl-m> jedi06: probably ext2 will work. you can't hurt anything by guessing the fs type
[04:48] <syockit> biouser: what are you trying to achieve anyway
[04:49] <Neros> ok guys thanks for the help on the thing... i think ill just do a fresh install and configure.... rsync is way more work than actually installing LAMP+Webmin and migrating my sql and htdocs
[04:49] <jedi06> what carl-m
[04:49] <Gnea> jedi06: Linux is, by default, a multi-user operating system. Ubuntu provides the ability to make multiple user accounts, both at installation time and later on once the system is up and running.
[04:49] <TheMusicGuy> is any particular VJM more likely to be able to have access to webcam?
[04:49] <jedi06> well i just made one
[04:49] <TheMusicGuy> er, JVM
[04:49] <carl-m> jedi06: you can also run file -s /dev/hdc1
[04:49] <carl-m> which will tell you the type
[04:49] <PengytheDuckwin> has pulseaudio or alsa had problems after installing KDE before?
[04:49] <Gnea> jedi06: so you're saying that te answer is 'no'?
[04:49] <jedi06> no
[04:49] <biouser> syockit it *might* not be pulse audio but frequently my sound will go down I need to write a script to really kill everything and really start everything
[04:49] <Gnea> so it's yes?
[04:50] <biouser> I suppose
[04:50] <carl-m> jedi06: sorry
[04:50] <jedi06> answer is no
[04:50] <carl-m> puff: you can just guess a type, or use file -s /dev/hdc1
[04:50] <puff> carl-m: http://pastebin.com/d212cdb92
[04:50] <biouser> ./sound-restart-for-real-all.sh
[04:50] <Neros> TheMusicGuy : can you access the webcam in a program like vlc or something similar? should be able to open a video stream from /dev/v4l2 or something alon those lines
[04:50] <Gnea> jedi06: geez, why didn't you just say so in the first place?  okay, can you drop to a console and login and make another account that way?
[04:50] <carl-m> puff: you need to mount /dev/hdc1
[04:50] <jedi06> how do you drop to a console
[04:51] <TheMusicGuy> Neros: I use Cheese
[04:51] <carl-m> puff: or /dev/hdc3
[04:51] <TheMusicGuy> it works fine
[04:51] <Gnea> jedi06: ctrl-alt-F1
[04:51] <puff> carl-m: Ah, cool, that owrked.
[04:51] <carl-m> but you cannot mount /dev/hdc
[04:51] <TheMusicGuy> Neros: I think my device is /dev/video0
[04:51] <Neros> TheMusicGuy ok try to get a video stream from /dev/v4l/video0 or /dev/video0
[04:51] <Fezzler> rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/panel  <<cannot remove: Is a directory
[04:51] <jedi06> yes i can log in Gnea
[04:51] <dtchen> syockit: / biouser: restarting pulseaudio via the initscript by default does nothing, because by default we ship per-user session invocation of the daemon.
[04:51] <biouser> dtchen exactly
[04:51] <Neros> TheMusicGuy if you can.... it should just work in flash
[04:51] <Darcy> question about WUBI.  why does it only allow a 30 GIG image partition ...
[04:52] <dtchen> biouser: what's the symptom you're experiencing?
[04:52] <syockit> dtchen: btw is everything under pa?
[04:52] <TheMusicGuy> Neros: what does that mean? what do I do with the /dev file?
[04:52] <jedi06> Gnea now what
[04:52] <sfuentes> anyone know how tshark and tcpdump compare?
[04:52] <dtchen> syockit: Ubuntu, yes
[04:52] <bonez451> other than 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' how does a system know what to include in xorg.conf?
[04:52] <Fezzler> how do I restore original gnome panel in Hardy
[04:52] <Gnea> !users | jedi06
[04:52] <syockit> dtchen: I see. I know nothing but phonon :)
[04:52] <zac_> Can some one help me i can get me video graphics from low to HIGH
[04:52] <Neros> TheMusicGuy open your video stream viewer and see if you can get a video stream from /dev/video0
[04:52] <Gnea> jedi06: check that website out, it will tell you the exact procedure to add another user
[04:52] <jedi06> what are you saying then it doesn't work becuase i didn't make 2 users
[04:53] <dtchen> syockit: Phonon is happy to use pulse; it does in jaunty (i'm using it presently)
[04:53] <biouser> dtchen just often I will try to push things past the limit like trying to play sound through firefox with Jack on and recording a screencast or something ridiculous and my sound goes down too hard that all I can do is reboot because I can find the scripts to restart everything
[04:53] <Gnea> jedi06: the idea is to see if the settings you imported from XP had a nasty effect ont he desktop of the system
[04:53] <biouser> *can not find the scripts to restart all sound services
[04:53] <jedi06> That has to be it, I thought it was just going to let me see the files
[04:53] <jedi06> like mount the ntfs file system
[04:53] <dtchen> biouser: that's because not everything in Ubuntu universe is configured to use pulse
[04:54] <jedi06> but it took forever
[04:54] <biouser> dtchen indeed
[04:54] <Gnea> jedi06: in theory, it should. but for some reason, something is causing a problem.
[04:54] <jedi06> ok Gnea what happens if that is the case
[04:54] <jedi06> do i need to reinstall ubuntu
[04:54] <biouser> dtchen so I need the most convenient ways to work around.. it looks like 9.04 will be better though
[04:54] <dtchen> biouser: jackd and pulseaudio both really only work effectively when they grab raw hw:*
[04:54] <puff> carl-m: Okay, so /dev/hdc1 mounts ifne as ext3, but that's grub, vm, etc.  hdec2 is the boot partition so that doesn't buy me much.  sudo file -s /dev/hdc5 gets me: /dev/hdc5: LVM2 (Linux Logical Volume Manager) , UUID: r2qPJg6voPhTQpF5MiN2ZUvEHUiI4AV
[04:54] <micron122> can someone tell me how to make a usb bootable for windows7 install?
[04:55] <puff> carl-m: So... how do I mount that?
[04:55] <Gnea> jedi06: no, but you can find out what's going on by looking at the ~user/.xsession-errors file to see what's causing the problem
[04:55] <biouser> dtchen right, but I can run jack on top of PA just not with other PA stuff and I have to stop PA for somethings and can't do certain chores that I would like to simultaneously.. but how do you start and stop PA anyways?
[04:55] <Neros> micron122 this is a linux discussion.... your question appears to be about windows only....
[04:56] <Shakedown> I've tried everything I could find to enable direct rendering for my ATI card, but to no success.  Anybody able to help?
[04:56] <Gnea> jedi06: if it's something from the XP profile that's goofing things up, then it won't matter how many times you reinstall and import - the problem will be there each and every time
[04:56] <biouser> I mean I can kill the process
[04:56] <puff> carl-m: I guess more importantly, what are the odds I'll be able to mount that on this machien (centos 5.2)?
[04:56] <micron122> I need to install the iso onto usb from linux
[04:56] <biouser> but then if I want to go back to having PA ...
[04:56] <biouser> without rebooting
[04:56] <TheMusicGuy> Neros: it works now...not sure why
[04:56] <Neros> micron122 oh ok thats a horse of a diffrent color... you should read into the command dd
[04:57] <micron122> ok
[04:57] <Gnea> jedi06: by making another user to test it with, and by examining ~/.xsession-errors, you can determine where the problem is and solve it, thus getting the desktop of your main user to show up
[04:57] <micron122> brb
[04:57] <unomi> micron122: google unetbootin
[04:57] <micron122> unomi: i thought unetbootin was for linux
[04:57] <dtchen> biouser: pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio -D -vv
[04:58] <dtchen> biouser: how well jack and pulse play together in jaunty depends on jack's MIR
[04:58] <micron122> so unetbootin will mount any iso to usb?
[04:58] <unomi> micron122: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[04:58] <unomi> yeah
[04:58] <unomi> many dists
[04:58] <micron122> well damn
[04:58] <rebel_gui> is it true that the ubuntu "bash" isnt really bash? isnt it d-dash or something?
[04:58] <micron122> i used it many times
[04:58] <unomi> slick as hell
[04:58] <carl-m> puff:  I never used lvm, look at http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Mounting_a_Linux_LVM_volume.html
[04:59] <Neros> unomi he is trying to write a windows7 iso to a usb drive.... unetbootin wont work
[04:59] <syockit> rebel_gui: dash is used as the sh.
[04:59] <AphisOne> how do I check to see what packages are inatalled (CLI)
[04:59] <Flannel> AphisOne: What do you want to do with the list?
[04:59] <micron122> Neros:  ya i think it loads a linux launcher
[04:59] <rebel_gui> syockit, so if i execute /bin/bash it will truly execute bash. but if i execute /bin/sh it executes dash?
[04:59] <binarymutant> AphisOne, aptitude shows it
[04:59] <AphisOne> Flannel: less
[05:00] <Flannel> AphisOne: dpkg -l | less
[05:00] <Darcy> is there a channel for wubi ???
[05:00] <Neros> micron122 not the installer... just the actual operating system
[05:00] <AphisOne> thanks Flannel
[05:00] <syockit> rebel_gui: yup
[05:00] <Fezzler> fixed
[05:00] <unomi> Neros: ahh sorry
[05:00] <\kira> how much space should /boot have. 8 gigs would be more than enough, right?
[05:00] <Fezzler> Now if I could only sync my Palm m500 with Ubuntu!
[05:00] <micron122> Neros: I tried to load mbr but that was not enough
[05:00] <unomi> micron122: ask in #windows-help or whatever it is
[05:01] <carl-m> \kira: 1GB is more than enough for /boot
[05:01] <biouser> dtchen cool, thanks, I was just adjusting the max_client_size of my site so that I can upload mp3 big enough that I recorded first with ardour and then turned pulse-audio off to deal with the sounds in audacity... audacity really needs to get it's act together with PA and Jack
[05:01] <\kira> carl-m: I see, thanks
[05:01] <Neros> unomi micron122 needs help with the linux command dd.... im writing it out for him as we type
[05:01] <puff> carl-m: I can't get past the second command in there, it says "mount /dev/hda /tmp/mnt" and doesn't specify a -t, when I leave out -t mount comiplains.
[05:01] <rebel_gui> syockit, alright. im just trying to debug why ubuntu "bash" doesnt exec a bash script correctly but crux, centOS, mac OSX and freeBSD "bash" do just fine
[05:01] <unomi> ok, ill stay out of it hten :)
[05:01] <micron122> unomi: the problem is that i need to us linux to load the usb... no win installed yet
[05:02] <Neros> micron122 the command you need should me something like dd --if=your_iso.iso --of=/dev/(usbdrive) make sure you use the whole usb drive that way the bootsector is written too
[05:02] <biouser> dtchen E: main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such file or directory
[05:02] <Flannel> rebel_gui: Because dash is the default shell.  If you have a script that wants bash, put bash in the shebang instead of sh.
[05:02] <jedi06> ok i try to login with the other user says There is a problem with the configuration server (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256) Gnea
[05:02] <rebel_gui> flannel, the shebang is bash
[05:02] <Flannel> rebel_gui: s/shell/script thing/
[05:02] <puff> carl-m: ah-hah: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=45
[05:02] <carl-m> puff: apparently you need to use the commands 'pvs' and 'lvdisplay' to see the names of the volumes
[05:02] <micron122> nero that will make it bootable?
[05:02] <Flannel> rebel_gui: Then bash should be running the script.
[05:02] <phiqtion_> how can i fix overscan on my lcd on 8.04?
[05:02] <Neros> micron122 unomi     the reason unetbooten wont work even though the loader is grub is because it is grub compiled as a windows executable
[05:02] <biouser> dtchen oh, I see the first one is to stop it :)
[05:02] <Geoffrey2> by chance, does anyone here use an Acer Aspire notebook?
[05:02] <Neros> micron122 that and using parted to flag it as active :D
[05:02] <Neros> micron122 should anyway
[05:02] <Flannel> rebel_gui: What's the output of ls -l /bin/bash?
[05:02] <jedi06> then blank peach screen plague
[05:03] <carl-m> \kira: my /boot is 26mb
[05:03] <micron122> nero active or boot?
[05:03] <danbhfive> is this channel logged?
[05:03] <Neros> micron122 both
[05:03] <micron122> same right?
[05:03] <rebel_gui> flannel, yes even when i specifically call bash by "bash '<script>'" it behaves incorrectly
[05:03] <Flannel> danbhfive: Yes
[05:03] <\kira> carl-m: wow, I was way off :). Thanks!
[05:03] <Flannel> rebel_gui: Define incorrectly
[05:03] <danbhfive> Flannel: where are the logs?
[05:03] <Flannel> !logs | danbhfive
[05:03] <danbhfive> thanks!
[05:03] <rebel_gui> flannel, the output is "-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 725136 2008-05-12 11:48 /bin/bash
[05:03] <rebel_gui> "
[05:03] <micron122> Neros: or not?
[05:03] <carl-m> I mean I am using 26mb
[05:03] <carl-m> It's not a separate partition for me
[05:04] <Neros> micron122 i cant remember atm so to be safe i would set active and boot
[05:04] <micron122> dont remember seeing an active option
[05:04] <micron122> that was the key to my puzzle
[05:04] <rebel_gui> flannel, the script does not execute after the | so instead of do this and pipe to this, it simply does step 1 and ignores step 2. in this case instead of cat'ing a file and piping to curl it just dumps to the terminal and exits
[05:04] <puff> carl-m: Mucho thanks for your help.
[05:05] <Shakedown> I need help enabling direct rendering! I've tried all I could find.
[05:05] <O__o> how to format 1TB drive to NTFS in linux?
[05:05] <rebel_gui> flannel, oddly if i enter the problem code line into bash it executes perfectly, just when run in a script it has trouble
[05:05] <Flannel> rebel_gui: I'm not super familiar with bash, but is that valid in bash?  Just because it works on those others doesn't mean its valid.  (I don't know)
[05:05] <micron122> Neros: could there be a terminal way to set it as active? don't see it in fdisk
[05:05] <carl-m> O__o: presumably you use mkntfs
[05:06] <Bllasae> alright
[05:06] <rebel_gui> flannel, using a | to do that is perfectly valid, i do it all the time just in this script it doesnt execute correctly
[05:06] <Bllasae> so i need to install flash player, how do i do it?
[05:06] <unop> rebel_gui, does your script have any unusual characters in it.   cat -et yourscript
[05:07] <micron122> anyone else?
[05:07] <jedi06> help please
[05:07] <rebel_gui> unop, im not sure how to read this cat output, what am i looking for?
[05:07] <micron122> where do i specify the usb  in ..............dd --if=your_iso.iso --of=/dev
[05:07] <heatmzzr_> I forget who helped me out but thanks. I got my verizon usb760 to work with ubuntu which furthers my goal of getting rid of winblows... thanks alot
[05:08] <werdnum> micron122: the of
[05:08] <rebel_gui> heatmzzr_, "furthers my goal of getting rid of winblows" hehe good man!
[05:08] <unop> rebel_gui, you could show us an excerpt of your script .. and what cat shows you here .. use a pastebin
[05:08] <selocol> Hi, can someone tell me the path to the "login" settings app in administration?
[05:09] <jedi06> Gnea you there?
[05:09] <Bllasae> so i need to install flash player, how do i do it?
[05:09] <Bllasae> i downloaded the .deb file
[05:09] <unop> rebel_gui, it's quite possible that the version of bash on ubuntu is newer than that on the other distros you tried
[05:09] <rebel_gui> unop, i think i found it. there appears to be a couple of funny characters before my if's and fi's
[05:10] <rebel_gui> unop, let me type those lines out by hand and see if i can get rid of them
[05:10] <unop> rebel_gui, yea, if your file's format is DOS or MAC .. you probably will have trouble
[05:10] <Bllasae> so i need to install flash player, how do i do it?
[05:11] <Bllasae> i downloaded the .deb file
[05:11] <unop> rebel_gui, if you see any of these  ^M$  under cat -et .. you should save the file again, under UNIX format
[05:11] <jedi06> there is nothing in ~/.xsession-erros
[05:11] <rebel_gui> unop, yeah i opened up a fresh vim buffer and im typing it all out manually (its a short script)
[05:12] <jedi06> i want to unimport my xp user settings
[05:12] <jedi06> becuase i think it screwed me up
[05:12] <unop> rebel_gui,  under vim this should suffice.   set ff=unix
[05:12] <rebel_gui> unop, oh ty
[05:12] <mr_bm1> Please help my to setup the Mythbuntu Config Centre
[05:12] <rebel_gui> unop, im not incredibly familiar with vim yet
[05:13] <mr_bm1> I have tried to test the sql-server but the result shown failed
[05:14] <Dillizar> how do you make a format on a usb or a memory card
[05:14] <sleepy_cat> hi how to register on the channel
[05:14] <unop> Dillizar,  mkfs
[05:15] <unop> !register > sleepy_cat
[05:15] <pritchard> Hullo.  I have OSS as my choice for sound playback.  RhythmBox works just fine, but youtube videos are playing without sound.
[05:16] <mr_bm1> anyone help me with the Mythbuntu Config Centre?
[05:16] <Gnea> jedi06: were you able to find anything in .xsession-errors?
[05:16] <jedi06> no nothing in them
[05:16] <jedi06> and did you see the error for the other user i set up
[05:16] <Gautam> hi, can you please tell me ...how to remove all the saved commands from terminal
[05:17] <Dillizar> unop, i have a problem with the formating
[05:17] <Dr_willis> Gautam,  if you mean the command 'history' in the bash shell the 'history' command can clear it . 'history -c'
[05:17] <O__o> in order to format a drive to ntfs in gparted, do i need to sudo apt-get install ntfsprog ??
[05:18] <Gnea> jedi06: hrm, doesn't sound good...
[05:18] <Geoffrey2> can the 8.10 live CD read FAT and NTFS partitions?
[05:18] <Gnea> jedi06: do you still have the XP on there?
[05:18] <Dillizar> 0__o i am trying to format a memory card
[05:18] <Gnea> jedi06: i mean, the XP OS installation
[05:18] <jedi06> Gnea i can just reinstall and not use the XP
[05:18] <Vinnex> how can i disable system beeps ?
[05:18] <Ketrel> I'm trying to do this command, but it's failing, how would I do it 'sudo fortune >> /etc/motd'
[05:18] <jedi06> I had better be
[05:18] <Dr_willis> Geoffrey2,  it can vfat.. and i think it can ntfs
[05:18] <Ketrel> I get permission denied
[05:18] <jedi06> It better be there Gnea
[05:18] <Gnea> jedi06: heh... yeah, i think that'll be the better option, at this point
[05:19] <unop> Ketrel, fortune | sudo tee -a /etc/motd
[05:19] <Dr_willis> Ketrel,  when using sudo with >> type pipeing - it needs a little extra work :) like Unop said.
[05:19] <O__o> why the ntfs option is grey out in gparted?
[05:19] <xubuser> Hello People.
[05:19] <unop> Ketrel, the redirection >> is setup before sudo has a chance to take effect .. and it is done as the user issuing the command .. hence the permission denied
[05:19] <Dillizar> unop,  that command doesnt work on a memory card
[05:20] <unop> Dillizar, why not?
[05:20] <theCompanion> whats the best way to upload large files to a webserver when your ISP caps your upload speed?
[05:20] <Ketrel> unop, thanks
[05:20] <pritchard> Hum, ALSA hates my sound card.  I had to do a lot of work to get sound properly configured on this machine.  Thankfully, Open Sound System seems to work fine.
[05:20] <Dillizar> unop, i have send you a PM
[05:20] <pritchard> Except on Youtube...
[05:20] <xubuser> guys is there a package for gtk2 in ubuntu?
[05:21] <unop> Dillizar, so, have you rebooted like it says?
[05:21] <Dillizar> unop, the memory card???
[05:21] <Dillizar> :D
[05:21] <pritchard> Ah, Firefox as a whole isn't playing sound.
[05:22] <xubuser> trying to figure out how to install gtk 2 libraries....
[05:22] <slyyf> Hey, how do I make bash something for every line of output in a command?  ex 'find|grep .flac' and then run lame over all of them?
[05:22] <sfuentes> does anybody use tshark at all?
[05:23] <mr_bm1> anyone helps me to setup the Mythbuntu Config Centre?
[05:23] <nikrud> xubuser, if you're using ubuntu the libraries are installed
[05:23] <Geoffrey2> ok....troubleshooting time...I loaded the 8.10 Live CD on a notebook, opened Computer, and tried clicking on a hard drive...and am told the volume cannot be mounted.....
[05:24] <dtchen> slyyf: something along the lines of: find /path -name '*.flac' -exec lame --whateverflags '{}' ';'
[05:24] <dtchen> slyyf: be aware of escaping characters
[05:24] <xubuser> nikrud: hmmm I can't seem to compile using some of the tutorial statements.
[05:24] <nikrud> xubuser, ah header files. Install libgtk2.0-dev
[05:25] <phiqtion_> how can i fix overscan on my lcd on 8.04?
[05:25] <xubuser> nikrud: cool. thanks. :) those are what I wanted to install.
[05:25] <Geoffrey2> the computer the HD is on started randomly freezing lately (running Vista), then wouldn't completely boot, now won't even start booting...
[05:25] <dtchen> pritchard: if you're using OSSv4+ on intrepid or newer, you might want to make sure everything's configured to use OSS, then
[05:25] <nikrud> xubuser, in general, you can get the header files for a library by  apt-cache search  lib<library> | grep dev , like apt-cache search libgtk | grep dev
[05:26] <dtchen> pritchard: (meaning pulseaudio and ~/.asoundrc, too)
[05:26] <mr_bm1> onyone help me to setup the Mythbuntu Config Centre in Ubuntu Hardy?
[05:26] <pritchard> @dtchen - Sadly, a good amount of what you just said was gibberish to me.
[05:26] <pritchard> And it appears to have been cut off short.
[05:26] <dragon_flam> hi i want to register on irc
[05:26] <dragon_flam> plz help me
[05:26] <dragon_flam> it says password incorrect
[05:26] <xubuser> nikrud: cool. that's nice to know.
[05:27] <dtchen> pritchard: hmm, i'm quite certain i didn't surpass the per-line char limit, but oh well.
[05:27] <dragon_flam> but my password is given to me by them via email
[05:27] <nikrud> !register | dragon_flam
[05:27] <dtchen> pritchard: i was hoping you'd be a bit more forthcoming about the configuration (just conffiles-wise)
[05:27] <pritchard> dtchen - I just installed Ubuntu.  Haven't used it in maybe over a year.
[05:28] <dtchen> pritchard: hardy? intrepid?
[05:28] <pritchard> 8.10
[05:28] <jeeves_Moss> what is the utility that tests the wire speed?
[05:28] <mr_bm1> hmm, no one here can help me Mythbuntu Config Centre?
[05:28] <pritchard> Whichever that is.  :)
[05:28] <dtchen> pritchard: (intrepid) you probably want to run `asoundconf set-oss', too
[05:28] <pritchard> Gotcha.
[05:29] <jeeves_Moss> what is the utility that tests the wire speed?
[05:29] <dtchen> pritchard: see /usr/share/doc/libasound2-plugins/examples/asound.conf_oss
[05:30] <O__o> I am still googling how to format ntfs in ubuntu
[05:30] <pritchard> I'll check it out and get back to you.
[05:30] <O__o> seem like it is easier to format ntfs with other windows machine
[05:30] <mr_bm1> no one using mythbuntu in ubuntu?
[05:31] <Geoffrey2> I've got a notebook computer that will no longer boot up, starting just recently, and I'm trying to figure out whether it's a hardware failure, or something fixable...
[05:31] <jeeves_Moss> mr_bm1, I was, then it pissed me off with the setup and incomatability with my satellite card
[05:32] <jedi06> i forget what needs to be logical and primary.  /boot ext2 100MB Primary, /root ext3 8GB logical, swap 512MB logical, and /home ext3 RemainingSpace Primary.   Does the look correct
[05:33] <Dr_willis> jedi06,  i often use 4 primary partiions..   or 3 Primary at the start.. then one extended/localal at the  end. I rarely ever yse a /boot partition these days
[05:33] <mr_bm1> Jeeves_Moss: Thanks, at least one person answer my question
[05:33] <jeeves_Moss> mr_bm1, yea, that's a problem in here.  most people don't pay attention, then when you post a few times, they get mad
[05:34] <Dr_willis> mr_bm1,  theres a #mythbuntu channel
[05:34] <jedi06> I will have 5 partitions total so one has to be logical
[05:34] <mr_bm1> I was there
[05:34] <micron122> ok i need some help.... I accidently used (  sudo dd if=my7.iso  of=/dev/sba1
[05:34] <micron122>   )  anyone know what sba is?
[05:34] <jedi06> Dr_willis why don't you use a boot partition
[05:34] <micron122> i used sba instead of sda
[05:35] <pritchard> Hm.
[05:35] <Dr_willis> jedi06,  why do i need one? i havent had to use a /boot - since the days of LILO and 1023 cylinder limitations in bios
[05:35] <Dr_willis> jedi06,  the only reason now a days i can think to use one is for some RAID setups
[05:35] <pritchard> What should the sound params be set to?
[05:36] <micron122> I used ( sudo dd if=my7.iso  of=/dev/sba1) and it copied 1.4gig then quit.... what is sba1?
[05:36] <jedi06> Well I what do you suggest how should i parition Dr_willis
[05:36] <micron122> anyone?
[05:37] <Dr_willis> jedi06,   depeneds on your needs - I tend to have  (windows ) (/) (home *sometimes*) and (swap) all primary
[05:38] <MurielGodoi> hi guys, anyone got the mousepen wp5540u calibrated under intrepid?
[05:38] <jedi06> i don't know my need i'm just doing what i did before at least one will need to be logical
[05:39] <jedi06> i think i had /boot and /home primary and /root and swap logical
[05:39] <Wicked> anyone know a app to index all my music and export it to a list? like a html list or somehting?
[05:40] <micron122> anyone know how to make a drive "active"
[05:40] <jedi06> does that sound ok to you Dr_willis
[05:40] <hbit> hello all, has anybody syncronized evolution with Sony Ericsson w880i mobile phone??
[05:40] <Dr_willis> jedi06,  why bother with any logicals if you are just using 4 parittions
[05:40] <jedi06> there will need to be 5
[05:40] <jedi06> there is a ntfs partition
[05:41] <hbit> hello all, has anybody syncronized evolution with Sony Ericsson w880i mobile phone??
[05:41] <jedi06> why are logicals a bother
[05:42] <Dr_willis> jedi06,  i find  NON-logicals a bother. :)
[05:42] <kompi07> sisi
[05:42] <jedi06> well then i'm just making the swap logical
[05:43] <szrhawaii> anyone here
[05:43] <jedi06> sounds like a dumbass system they came up with
[05:43] <szrhawaii>  is this the ubuntu chat room
[05:43] <tritium> Yes, szrhawaii.
[05:43] <szrhawaii> thanks just making sure
[05:44] <Geoffrey2> anyone know where I can get help diagnosing a possible hardware problem?
[05:45] <\kira> Geoffrey2: #hardware
[05:45] <\kira> szrhawaii: this is the ubuntu support room, not general chat (just a note) general chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:46] <Ketrel> one more question, the history command, where does it get that from, and how can you clear it?
[05:46] <Ketrel> I tried blanking .bash_history
[05:46] <szrhawaii> duh that wasnt general chat
[05:46] <Dr_willis> Ketrel,  'man history' :) 'history -c' to clear
[05:46] <szrhawaii> was wondering if it was cause some other people was saying stuff other than that
[05:47] <szrhawaii> \tell that to someone who is generally chatting and dont imply anything when someone asks if this is the right room
[05:47] <Ketrel> Dr_willis: I swear the -c switch wasn't there when I looked before
[05:48] <Dr_willis> Ketrel,  try history --help ? :)
[05:48] <Dr_willis> Ketrel,  man history - shows ya some of the neat tricks history can do.    I forget  half of them.
[05:48] <jvai> "tcpdump -i -ath0" doesn't work on my thinkpad z60mrunning hardy, i get a "SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device" on the command, but wifi works wonderfully!, how do i get it to work?

[05:55] <SchmittyDoesIt> when running /scripts/findtrojans I recieve 103 possibles, some being 'mv', 'copy' and 'ls' file infected. This script runs a simple rpm -Va which could bring a lot of false positives. My question is if I mount this drive on another linux system and simpley replace said binaries with new ones will this hurt the system? Can this be done?
[05:55]  * FlareDS = Flare183
[05:55] <binarymutant> SchmittyDoesIt, rpm?
[05:55] <jrib> SchmittyDoesIt: are you using ubuntu?
[05:55] <FlareDS> _Vi_: Remember?
[05:55] <Dr_willis> SchmittyDoesIt,   Ubuntu dosent use RPM... makes me wonder at your testing method

[05:56] <SchmittyDoesIt> forget the rpm remark, would this method be sane

[05:57] <jrib> SchmittyDoesIt: without the rpm remark, "this method" is not well defined...
[05:57] <Dr_willis> SchmittyDoesIt,  would proberly be better to use the package manager tools to 'remove/reinstall'  questional binaries..
[05:57] <leo> Hello all
[05:57] <SchmittyDoesIt> thankyou Dr_willis
[05:58] <leo> Can someone tell me what settings I change to change my font color on screen please?
[05:58] <gladiator> Hi all
[05:58] <Wolverin3> some help please?
[05:59] <syockit> He's probably using packagekit-smart
[05:59] <jrib> Wolverin3: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you
[05:59] <Wolverin3> i have this error on logs http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6e5b5e87
[05:59] <Wolverin3> the system block
[05:59] <gladiator> could anyone give me info on ubuntu support for penryn processor?
[06:00] <sisterblue> how do i get to root in a terminal  (newbie here)
[06:00] <ice_cream> lo
[06:00] <jrib> !sudo | sisterblue
[06:00] <sisterblue> jrib  thanks :)
[06:00] <gladiator> i installed twice but it had no cpu frequency scaling support .. drained the battery very quickly and the laptop starts baking
[06:00] <BuntuNoob01> I have a brooktree 878 pci card that has its audio (for coax signal) going internally from the capture card to my sound blaster audigy's AuxIn, I can't seem to find an app to give me the sound though, I've used vlc and tvtime neither will pick up the audio
[06:01] <Milk_Rulz> how do I install a .sh file?
[06:01] <jrib> Milk_Rulz: what are  you trying to install exactly?
[06:01] <Milk_Rulz> crossover
[06:01] <ice_cream> think of .sh as .exe or so
[06:01] <ice_cream> if that helps
[06:01] <Dr_willis> sudo sh whatever.sh
[06:02] <ice_cream> may need to chmod it to be executable
[06:02] <ice_cream> if it isnt
[06:02] <Milk_Rulz> Dr_willis: Thank you
[06:02] <sisterblue> i am at the desktop in my terminal  how do I get to root  (sudo did not work)
[06:02] <jrib> sisterblue: what exactly did you do that did not work?
[06:02] <XFCEntral> sisterblue: 'sudo su' then enter your user's password
[06:03] <hellhound_> sorry if it seems like I am repeating myself.  I am desperate... I can hardly read anything.  i am having trouble with text rendering.  for some reason if a website, document or even this irc chat room are scrolled or in irc's case, pushed up by more text, then lines are jumbled together and broken in half horizontally.  it makes it almost impossible to read anything.  Please help!!!!
[06:03] <phiqtion> #lm-sensors
[06:03] <phiqtion> !lm-sensors
[06:03] <ice_cream> sisterblue, usually they recommend not going into root, although you can;  perhaps you can accomplish what you need with temporary superuser access with "sudo <command you wanted to do>"
[06:03] <jrib> XFCEntral: please recommend « sudo -i » instead since it resets the environment
[06:03] <sisterblue> XFCEntral thanks that did it :)
[06:03] <Milk_Rulz> Dr_willis: I got this error: '/home/harley' must exist and belong to you in order for the installation to proceed.
[06:03] <Milk_Rulz> If installing as root, you may need to log in as root, use 'su -' or 'sudo -H'.
[06:04] <tritium> Milk_Rulz: sudo -i is preferred
[06:04] <Dr_willis> Milk_Rulz,  or 'sudo -s' then run the insaller.. or run it as that user.. if you want it installed for just that user.
[06:04] <XFCEntral> sisterblue: no problem! sudo alone only works when it comes before the command as in "sudo apt-get install," and you enter your password. to be root, sudo su works better.
[06:04] <Dr_willis> sudo -i or sudo -s. or run as you ruser.  Milk_Rulz
[06:05] <Dr_willis> I dont recall what sudo -H does. :)
[06:05] <tritium> Dr_willis: sets the HOME env. variable to /root
[06:05] <sisterblue> XFCEntral thank you  i am trying to remove a file and put it somewhere else
[06:06] <ice_cream> sisterblue, perhaps   simply  sudo mv  <file> <destination>  ?
[06:06] <redvamp128> Wolverine3 I did find this Bug #256312 in linux (Ubuntu): “rt2x00usb vendor_request” <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/256312>
[06:06] <sisterblue> ice cream thanks for the help but am trying to follow some step by step instructions  :)
[06:06] <Milk_Rulz> Dr_willis: thank you, -s didn't work but -i did. thanks to you too tritium
[06:07] <tritium> Milk_Rulz: no problem.
[06:07] <redvamp128> Wolverin3:  I did find this Bug #256312 in linux (Ubuntu): “rt2x00usb vendor_request” <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/256312>
[06:07] <sisterblue> hope i dont mess something up big time
[06:07] <hellhound_> does anyone have any suggestions???
[06:07] <jrib> sisterblue: if you aren't sure of what you are doing, why not tell us and see if there is a better way?
[06:08] <redvamp128> Wolverin3:  there also are more issues with that as well rt2x00usb - Google Search <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=rt2x00usb&amp;btnG=Search>
[06:08] <pritchard> By the by, crazy idea - Perhaps someone could remotely control my computer and configure sound for me?
[06:09] <leo> Can someone tell me which setting changes my personal text input font color please?
[06:09] <Wolverin3> redvamp128, is a USB problem?
[06:09] <redvamp128> Yes it looks like so
[06:09] <Jeebus_Saves> so I'm running the 8.10 livecd and the hardware driver application says I need to restart to use the proprietary nvidia drivers for my video card. but I can't really restart - I'm just using the livecd. is there any way to use better drivers without restarting, or at least increase my screen resolution?
[06:09] <redvamp128> Wolverin3:  that page you posted that was the common error -- wireless card?
[06:10] <somaunn> hello guys
[06:10] <Wolverin3> usb wireless
[06:10] <sisterblue> jrib  ok   i am trying to follow these instructions at this website for the logitech quickcam http://www.noah.org/wiki/Logitech_QuickCam_Pro_4000_on_Ubuntu  and now I have removed the .ko file on step #5 but #6 I am stumped
[06:10] <Wolverin3> redvamp128 im no post it
[06:10] <huwenfeng> Jeebus_Saves: there seems no good method, you should install Ubuntu , then install the driver
[06:10] <Wolverin3> redvamp128 some1 else
[06:10] <MethinX> I have IP 192.169.0.4 and my other comp is 192.168.0.2  how the heck do I enable file shareing between these computers?
[06:11] <huwenfeng> Jeebus_Saves: you can not install a hardware driver in livecd, i think
[06:11] <pritchard> Sounds like you're communicating between two routers :P
[06:11] <Jeebus_Saves> huwenfeng: sigh, I wanted to try out the livecd before installing, but it seems like that's not going to work
[06:11]  * pritchard hides back in his corner
[06:11] <jrib> sisterblue: those instructions are OLD
[06:11] <MethinX> well I have one router,
[06:11] <clearzen> huwenfeng: why is that?
[06:11] <ice_cream> sisterblue, #6 looks like   "make install"
[06:11] <kingbilly> methinX: if thats not a typo in the second octet, you need a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0
[06:11] <sisterblue> jrib  i ws here in ubuntu channel earlier and was pointed to that url but the person that was helping me left me hanging
[06:11] <huwenfeng> Jeebus_Saves: oh, just intall it,  you can use a unused partition to install it.
[06:12] <redvamp128> Wolverin3:  I was only going by what you posted in Pastebin-- it seems to be a usb wireless issue-- traces back  through bug reports
[06:12] <jrib> sisterblue: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[06:12] <huwenfeng> clearzen: no hard disk, right?
[06:12] <sisterblue> jrib  what would you recommend ?
[06:12] <sisterblue> jrib i am using ubuntu 8.10
[06:12] <Milk_Rulz> can somebody please help me install something?
[06:12] <huwenfeng> clearzen: if you are using livecd, you would like to write something to your harddisk permanently? right?
[06:12] <MethinX> ok but what program do I use to enable those two computers to share?
[06:12] <leo> Hello everyone...
[06:13] <jrib> sisterblue: well I would start by undoing whatever you've done already
[06:13] <MethinX> if I knew a program name I would be able to set up the network connection
[06:13] <clearzen> huwenfeng: right, but why isn't it working?
[06:13] <sisterblue> jrib  ok how do i put back what i took away when i followed those steps ??
[06:14] <redvamp128> Wolverin3:  though have not found any fix for the issue -- but this is the most detailed of the bunch - Bug #256312 in linux (Ubuntu): “rt2x00usb vendor_request” <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/256312>   based on what you posted here ubuntu private pastebin - collaborative debugging tool <http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6e5b5e87>
[06:14] <Milk_Rulz> does anybody know what an "excutable (application/x-exutable) file it?
[06:14] <Milk_Rulz> is*
[06:14] <MethinX> both computers automaticly connect to the internet but they cannont fileshare between eachother
[06:14] <jrib> sisterblue: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCamerasLogitech that camera should be working oob
[06:14] <tritium> Milk_Rulz: precisely that.
[06:15] <jrib> sisterblue: what is the last step you completed?
[06:15] <sisterblue> jrib  i completed step #5
[06:15] <kingbilly> methinX: look into "samba"
[06:15] <Milk_Rulz> tritium: well I downloaded a game, but it's in windows format
[06:15] <sisterblue> just removed the file
[06:15] <leo> Hello. I am just checking my font colors...
[06:15] <redvamp128> !samba
[06:15] <MethinX> samba
[06:15] <MethinX> ok
[06:15] <jrib> sisterblue: what did you rm exactly?
[06:15] <Milk_Rulz> tritium: and then it says you apparently need to download the executable file for linux
[06:15] <sisterblue> jrib  sec  hopefully I still have it
[06:15] <Milk_Rulz> tritium: and I did that, but I don't know how to launch it
[06:16] <sisterblue> jrib   here it is    rm /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/pwc/pwc.ko
[06:16] <huwenfeng> clearzen: oh, sorry, i can not answer that/
[06:16] <tritium> Milk_Rulz: sounds like you need to chmod +x <filename> (or do the equivalent through the nautilus gui)
[06:17] <clearzen> huwenfeng: ok, nvm then I just thought you where having problems
[06:17] <Jeebus_Saves> is there a partition editor that groks ntfs on the livecd? I haven't used linux much in years, and it doesn't look like parted does it.
[06:17] <TraceRoute> Could anyone help me understand why tab completion isn't working in my terminal anymore, I mean it works but it will only list something in the current directory
[06:17] <jrib> sisterblue: find what package owns that using packages.ubuntu.com and reinstall it
[06:17] <leo> Hello, can anyone see this?
[06:17] <huwenfeng> nvm ?
[06:17] <pritchard> leo - I see it
[06:17] <krloz> hola
[06:17] <Jeebus_Saves> leo: no, definitely not.
[06:17] <Dr_willis> leo,  yes we can.
[06:18] <krloz> nesecito ayuda jajaja
[06:18] <leo> OK thanx just checking
[06:18] <tritium> krloz: please stop
[06:18] <krloz> ok
[06:18] <tritium> (You're not even spelling Spanish words properly)
[06:18] <Wolverin3> redvamp128 mm i see and then i need wait 4 some solution?
[06:19] <Milk_Rulz> tritium: was I ment to use chmod on the directory or the file?
[06:19] <sisterblue> jrib   not sure how I do that with being so new can u step me thru that ?  is it done at a terminal ?
[06:19] <huwenfeng> any good web browsers under Ubuntu?
[06:19] <tritium> Milk_Rulz: file you downloaded
[06:19] <redvamp128> Wolverin3:  I still haven't found a solution -- but it appears as though the usb wireless card is to blame for the issues
[06:19] <huwenfeng> firefox is not that good.
[06:19] <Dr_willis> huwenfeng,  firefox and opera work fine for me
[06:19] <jrib> sisterblue: it's a web page, you visit packages.ubuntu.com in your browser
[06:20] <Milk_Rulz> tritium: when I open it, it does nothing, hold on I'll show you the txt document that came with it
[06:20] <ice_cream> oh, they made opera a package now..?
[06:20] <ice_cream> if so, i dont see it
[06:20] <Dr_willis> ice_cream,  they have been opera for linux/ubuntu for ages
[06:20] <Destil> I am hoping for some assistance.  Note: I am a complete n00b to ubuntu and linux...
[06:20] <Dr_willis> ice_cream,  go to the opera homepage :)
[06:20] <Brack10> if I want to set a variable equal to itself minus 1, how do I do that?  VARIABLE=($VARIABLE - 1) doesn't seem to work
[06:20] <ice_cream> yea in the past when i tested it, i just dled a binary iirc
[06:20] <Milk_Rulz> tritium: - get full CS2D at www.cs2d.com/download
[06:20] <Milk_Rulz> - extract the archive to a folder of your choice
[06:20] <Milk_Rulz> - copy this binary into this folder
[06:20] <Milk_Rulz> - Install libstdc++5 or higher with your package manager- run it
[06:20] <FloodBot2> Milk_Rulz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:20] <tritium> ice_cream: it has been available for several releases, in the third-party repository (no need ot go to the opera homepage)
[06:21] <Wolverin3> redvamp128 next block i will unplug it and see if that solve the block
[06:22] <redvamp128> Wolverin3:  which version of Ubuntu are you on Hardy or Intrepid?
[06:22] <huwenfeng> clearzen: what's wrong?
[06:22] <ice_cream> tritium, what is 'third party'?
[06:22] <ice_cream> !third party
[06:23] <Destil> I have a dead, once windows laptop, the bootfile became corrupt, and I was hoping to give ubuntu a go.  I downloaded the "desktop" iso, made the CD but seem unable to boot/install directly from it.  Might someone direct me to the correct download?
[06:23] <tritium> ice_cream: not from Canonical, but rather from vendors like Opera
[06:23] <redvamp128> Wolverin3:  8.04, 8.04.2 or 8.10 ?
[06:23] <tritium> ice_cream: check your /etc/apt/sources.list, and you'll see the "partner" repo, likely commented out
[06:24] <ice_cream> oh partner..
[06:24] <sisterblue> jrib  i think it is a pwc-source  from universe  listed in dapper fiesty gutsy  but still not sure which file ?? and what to do here is what i found at this url http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pwc+&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
[06:24] <ice_cream> idk if i want partner
[06:24] <ice_cream> !partner > ice_cream
[06:25] <Dr_willis> I dont see 'opera' in the partner/third party repos'  i may be overlooking it.
[06:25] <Wolverin3> redvamp128 8.10 intrepid
[06:25] <Dr_willis> I recall it USED to be in there a few releses ago.. but not seen it in there lately
[06:25] <tritium> Dr_willis: it always has been
[06:26] <jrib> sisterblue: so reinstall and see if the file you deleted returns
[06:26] <Dr_willis> tritium,  if you say so.. of course I think imusing the opera beta right now. :)  gotta love betas
[06:26] <Milk_Rulz> does anybody know how I can simply run a file in wine?
[06:26] <Dr_willis> Milk_Rulz,  wine whatever.exe       ?
[06:26] <ice_cream> but i was wondering more out of curiosity than necessity
[06:26] <leo> checking my font...
[06:26] <Milk_Rulz> Dr_willis: doesn't work
[06:27] <ice_cream> ff or fx as they call it...is sufficient for my purposes
[06:27] <Dr_willis> Milk_Rulz,  then you really need to be a bit more clear on what 'dosent work' about it.
[06:27] <_anu> Ubuntu broken :( can't installing , help!!!!
[06:27] <jrib> !apt > sisterblue
[06:27] <Mean_Admin> so I installed 8.10 on hard drive with the pata cable all for itself. on the other PATA cable, there was only 1 hard drive at the time of installation but then I added a second and now I get GRUB error 2
[06:28] <Flannel> !doesntwork | _anu
[06:28] <_anu> sypathetic couldn't open , any one can help me ???
[06:28] <_anu> that install tool -> restart Ubuntu while installing
[06:29] <ice_cream> lol @ Flannel
[06:29] <ice_cream> did you help write that segment of ubottu? =P
[06:29] <_anu> then Ubuntu can't work
[06:29] <Vinnex> how do i close the x server?
[06:29] <_anu> can't install and uninstall
[06:29] <Vinnex> ctrl-alt-f1?
[06:29] <_anu> who can help me ?
[06:29] <Dr_willis> Vinnex,  that goes to the console.. it closes nothing
[06:29] <ice_cream> Vinnex, usually ctrl alt backspace
[06:30] <MethinX> ok, I downloaded samba but was woundering if there was an easier way to connect 2 ubuntu 8.10's together to share files.
[06:30] <tritium> ice_cream: that restarts it
[06:30] <Dr_willis> MethinX,  2 ubuntu pc's make it MUCH easier...
[06:30] <Dr_willis> MethinX,  install ssh on both and use 'sshfs' is one easy way
[06:30] <_anu> help !!!!!!!!!
[06:30] <ice_cream> tritium, kills it for me
[06:30] <Dr_willis> MethinX,  or scp for simple file transfers
[06:30] <tritium> _anu: you haven't described the problem sufficiently
[06:30] <MethinX> thank you
[06:30] <_anu> please!!!!!!!!!!!
[06:30] <_anu> okay , let me try
[06:31] <tritium> ice_cream: that's not how it works
[06:31] <ice_cream> ?
[06:31] <Jeebus_Saves> so I'm still in the livecd, and now the nvidia driver is loaded but my screen resolution is stuck at 800x600. is there a way to make it higher given that the screen resolution application and xrandr think that's the max?
[06:31] <ice_cream> did i give him bad advice?
[06:31] <somaunn> someone know how to re-activate user Switcher Preferences
[06:32] <tritium> ice_cream: it kills the current session, bringing the user back to the login manager.  He likely wants to kill gdm as well.  (sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop)
[06:32] <_anu> tritium , how to describe ?
[06:32] <jmgtrplyr84> how do i allow compiz full control over my desktop
[06:32] <jmgtrplyr84> #compiz
[06:33] <ice_cream> really, is that how yours works?
[06:33] <quibbler> _anu, when you try to use synaptic do you get an error message?
[06:33] <tritium> ice_cream: same as yours
[06:33] <_anu> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[06:33] <_anu> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[06:34] <Vinnex> how do i exit the x server client?
[06:34]  * ice_cream makes a test
[06:34] <quibbler> _anu, type sudo dpkg --configure -a in the terminal
[06:34] <_anu> i tried
[06:34] <tritium> Vinnex: from the command line: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[06:34] <_anu> no use
[06:35] <quibbler> _anu, what error message do you get
[06:35] <jvai> hey thnx channel!
[06:35] <_anu> it throws an error also
[06:35] <_anu> ok
[06:35] <tritium> _anu: what were you doing when you encountered that error?
[06:35] <_anu> wait a minute
[06:35] <_anu> i do nothing
[06:35] <_anu> the computer restart itself
[06:35] <tritium> !enter | _anu
[06:36] <cdenny> well guys, I am officially hooked
[06:36] <_anu> tritium , ok
[06:36] <oholiab> I want to make a /home/user/bin directory and make it a standard path for running programs like /usr/local/bin and all that jazz, how do I go about adding the path?
[06:36] <sisterblue> jrib  i am not sure which file to use  when i ran sudo apt-get install pwc  it couldn't find the file
[06:36] <cdenny> i love ubuntu
[06:37] <_anu> help me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[06:37] <huwenfeng> oholiab: add it in you $PATH
[06:37] <bazhang> _anu, run that command
[06:37] <_anu> which one ?
[06:37] <bazhang> _anu, and calm down with the multiple help me's
[06:37] <hayes> anyone help me?
[06:37] <oholiab> huwenfeng: won't that reset every time I log out of a session?
[06:37] <_anu> bazhang , which command ?
[06:38] <bazhang> _anu, sudo dpkg --configure -a
[06:38] <huwenfeng> oholiab: set it in /etc/environment
[06:38] <jrib> sisterblue: you need to pastebin commands you run along with their full output when something does not work the way you want it to.  I must go now.  In the future, pay close attention to what version a tutorial applies to and in general stick to the wiki and help.ubuntu.com
[06:38] <_anu> dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.
[06:38] <_anu> Aborted
[06:39] <sisterblue> jrib ok thank you
[06:39] <oholiab> huwenfeng: if I put it in as ~/bin will it interpret the ~ correctly?
[06:39] <_anu> help !!!!!!!!!!
[06:39] <bobc> glx isn't working even though it clearly states that it is enabled in the X log. I'm on 8.10 with nvidia drivers. Any idea how I can fix it?
[06:39] <Dr_willis> oholiab,  when in doubt use full paths to binaries
[06:39] <bazhang> _anu, stop
[06:40] <huwenfeng> oholiab: oh, i do not use it myself. you have to try
[06:40] <_anu> bazhang , anyone help me then ?
[06:40] <bobc> glxinfo says Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
[06:40] <oholiab> Dr_willis: the whole point in setting it as a path is that you don't have to
[06:40] <leo> Could someone direct me to some documentation for XChat Settings please?
[06:40] <bazhang> _anu, on one single line describe exactly how you got into this situation. repeatedly saying help!!! overuse of the enter key, and you will be removed.
[06:40] <nikrud> oholiab, add a section in each user's .profile that is:  if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then   PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"  fi , that does it automatically
[06:40] <oholiab> Dr_willis: it's a perl script I wrote so I could be lazy and type less :P
[06:41] <Dr_willis> oholiab,  depends on what you are trying to do.. ~bin is in the path. then you dont need a path..
[06:41] <cdenny> has anyone here ever use pixelize?
[06:41] <nikrud> oholiab, add it to /etc/skel/.profile to have it added to any new user
[06:41] <root_> oholiab rc files   /etc/profile /etc/bash.bashrc  ~/.profile  and ~/.bash_bashrc   i don't agree with "<huwenfeng> oholiab: set it in /etc/environment"  < while that may work that is not the prefered place
[06:41] <Dr_willis> oholiab,  I just keep mine in /home/username/bin

[06:42] <_anu> help me , kind people ^^
[06:42] <noth> kernel modules is ok
[06:42] <bazhang> _anu, describe your problem all on one line.
[06:42] <ice_cream> interesting, though i got distracted with something else i needed to do
[06:42] <nikrud> _anu, that's a problem not many people are going to be able to help with: it requires a really deep understanding of the packaging system
[06:43] <_anu> it
[06:43] <oholiab> nikrud: so it is :D thanks :)
[06:43] <_anu> i have said that
[06:43] <v1d4l0k4> People, I've updated my Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 with 'update-manager -d' and now my system doesn't log on. I can use only Failsafe Terminal, every other options blink the screen and back to the GDM. Many commands in the terminal shows GConf Errors, like "stale NFS locks .... failed to get connection to session". What can I do to repair the system? I'm dissapointed. =(
[06:43] <Destil> I have a dead, once windows laptop, the bootfile became corrupt, and I was hoping to give ubuntu a go.  I downloaded the "desktop" iso, made the CD but seem unable to boot/install directly from it.  Might someone direct me to the correct download?
[06:43] <ice_cream> in my case, tritium, i still had slim as a process, though it didnt display anything
[06:44] <bazhang> _anu, last chance ; stop with the overuse of the enter key, and saying help me! without clearing stating your problem all on ONE line.
[06:44] <tritium> ice_cream: slim?  What's that?
[06:44] <Dr_willis> Destil,   how dod you make the 'cd'
[06:44] <huwenfeng> root_: yes, put it in /etc/profile
[06:44] <ice_cream> tritium, my preferred login manager
[06:44] <bazhang> Destil, md5 the iso
[06:44] <Destil> on the widows comp Im on now, through roxio
[06:44] <Dr_willis> Destil,  its very likel you burntit wrongly. Or the download is currupted
[06:44] <bazhang> !md5
[06:45] <Dr_willis> Destil,  look on the cd.. what files are there? I suggest using a tool just to burn iso files..  its possible you  burnt it wrong.
[06:45] <Dr_willis> !iso
[06:45] <Dr_willis> What is that one tool.. Imgburn  I think. thats very good for burning iso files to disk
[06:45] <_anu> i use synaptic , throws E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. i use terminal then , dpkg: /../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.Aborted

[06:45] <theCompanion> how would i copy the files of type .jpg from directory hat to directory kite
[06:46] <pestario> hi everyone! question: i have 2 video cards - 1 agp and 1 pci. i only have 1 monitor which is connected to the pci card. The non-connected video card also has tv-in feature. is it possible for me to use watch tv without connecting my monitor to that video card?
[06:46] <oholiab> thanks for the help guys
[06:46] <nikrud> _anu, excellent summary of your issue there :)
[06:46] <_anu> bazhang , is that okay ?
[06:46] <theCompanion> cp *.jpg -r hat kite
[06:46] <theCompanion> ?
[06:46] <Destil> okay lemme back up.. I am ignorant as to linux.... I think I need to load something else into the dead pc first to use the ubuntu cd install... but I dont know what
[06:46] <v1d4l0k4> thanks for the tip nikrud+bazhang
[06:47] <noth> theCompanion, : cp -a hate/*.jpg kite
[06:47] <root_> if that how would i copy line wasn't a troll it was ...   well if it was a troll it was a good one.
[06:47] <bazhang> _anu, what are you trying to accomplish, what version of ubuntu, did you add any 3rd party repositories, paste.ubuntu.com with your /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:47] <_anu> hi people there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[06:47] <nivek> *question* : is there a way to bind my "~" key to pull down my terminal? Like..make the key global? thanks.
[06:47] <nikrud> _anu, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/262451 . Are you out of disk space?
[06:47] <Flannel> Destil: No, you won't.  Unless the comptuer can't boot to the CD (which would be odd).  You may have to push something like F12 or del or something when booting to be able to change your boot order and boot of the CD
[06:47] <redvamp128> bazhang:  I think I found a bug report on _anu issue though unsure -- some guy said fix was removing cupsys and cups then rerun update- Bug #262451 in dpkg (Ubuntu Intrepid): “dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.” <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/dpkg/+bug/262451>
[06:48] <_anu> why i am out of this channel just before ?
[06:48] <bazhang> _anu, dont say help me repeatedly
[06:48] <Destil> The boot order is fine, CD is first boot device.
[06:48] <Flannel> !helpme | _anu
[06:48] <leo> I thought I heard Ubuntu is coming out with a new version is it true and When?
[06:48] <_anu> but i meant that
[06:48] <nikrud> _anu, for not abiding by the rules here, and not paying attention when you're told them
[06:48] <nikrud> _anu, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/262451 . Are you out of disk space?
[06:48] <Flannel> leo: Every six months, the next is 9.04, so April of 2009
[06:49] <Vinnex> how can i reload a previous x confing file (just installed nvidia drivers and it crashed due to config )
[06:49] <leo> Flannel, thanx...
[06:49] <Dr_willis> Vinnex,  look in /etc/X11 and see if any backups exist
[06:49] <_anu> nikrud , yes , i have out of diskspace
[06:49] <Dr_willis> Vinnex,  if so - sudo cp  backupxorg.conf_name xorg.conf  and restart X
[06:49] <Destil> the cd contains umenu, wubi, md5sum, readme.diskdefines, ubuntu, autorun and several folders
[06:50] <bazhang> _anu, ask every twenty minutes or so. then go to the ubuntuforums while you wait.
[06:50] <Vinnex> Dr_willis: how do i restart x
[06:50] <redvamp128> nikrud:  that was the one that matched her reported error above --- Though about mid page a guy said he removed cups and cupsys and it fixed his issue-- (though not sure but aren't those printer drivers??)
[06:50] <nivek> nvm figured it out :)
[06:50] <nikrud> _anu, then that's your problem. You need to make more space on the partition.
[06:51] <_anu> nikrud , i delete many space then
[06:51] <root_> also of note, Vinnex if starting x via 'startx' command, then it will use an xorg.conf from the home dir of the user running 'startx'   handy to keep a very conservative conf file in your home for times like this.
[06:51] <nikrud> _anu, sudo apt-get clean will free up some space
[06:51] <ein2015> root_: where does X normally grab its .conf file?
[06:51] <_anu> nikrud , i tried that , still does not work
[06:51] <Vinnex> root_: so whats the copy command to replace xorg file with backup?
[06:52] <nikrud> redvamp128, yes. But there's a bunch of duplicate reports, all with different packages.
[06:52] <root_> ein2015 /etc/X11/
[06:52] <ein2015> root_: good to know! :) thx
[06:52] <nikrud> _anu, after you did the sudo apt-cache clean, did you run  sudo dpkg --configure -a ?
[06:52] <leo> Is there a way to increase the FONT SIZE for the IRC screen?
[06:52] <ein2015> leo: what client?
[06:52] <redvamp128> nikrud:  so cups and cupsy are printer related then?
[06:52] <_anu> nikrud , yes , i tried
[06:52] <leo> Ubuntu
[06:52] <root_> Vinnex <Dr_willis> Vinnex,  if so - sudo cp  backupxorg.conf_name xorg.conf <<< from within /etc/X11/
[06:53] <Vinnex> vinny@Vinny-Linux:/etc/X11$ sudo cp  backupxorg.conf_name xorg.conf
[06:53] <Vinnex> cp: cannot stat `backupxorg.conf_name': No such file or director
[06:53] <ein2015> leo: ubuntu is an operating system... what client are you using to connect to IRC?
[06:53] <nikrud> redvamp128, yes. the Common Unix Printing SYStem
[06:53] <leo> ein2015, XChat sorry
[06:53] <Dr_willis> Vinnex,  LOOK in the directory and see what names exist..  bash basics..  'ls' command lists files
[06:53] <ein2015> leo: okay one moment
[06:53] <Dr_willis> Vinnex,  that was just an example name
[06:54] <Vinnex> Dr_willis:  o lol
[06:54] <redvamp128> nikrud:  I haven't thought about it since days of Mandrake 8.1 (many moons ago)
[06:54] <nikrud> _anu, someone pointed out (nicely) that I gave a bad command:  do   sudo apt-get clean && sudo dpkg --configure -a
[06:54] <_anu> nikrud , the problem remains , E: Invalid operation clean , dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. Aborted
[06:54] <nikrud> _anu, did you read my last line, just above yours?
[06:55] <_anu> nikrud , i used your command
[06:55] <ein2015> leo: have you looked around in the preferences yet?  (i havent used xchat in a while but i'm almost certain you can change font sizes in the preferences somewhere)
[06:55] <MethinX> is it possible to send  messages in the terminal to a computer on my network?
[06:55] <_anu> nikrud , i throws that
[06:55] <pestario> thanks guise
[06:55] <_anu> it
[06:56] <nikrud> _anu, this problem is above my pay grade; I think your best bet is to check up on that bug report
[06:56] <root_> ein2015 ah hmm  beware the differance in xchat and xchat-gnome
[06:56] <tritium> _anu: you need to make more space
[06:56] <_anu> nikrud , please ~
[06:56] <leo> ein2015,  yes but I didn't open the browse button, I found it now thanx...
[06:56] <_anu> tritium , yes i made more space
[06:56] <noth> Methinx : remote computer is working as M$ win?
[06:57] <nikrud> _anu, I'm sorry, but like I said before that problem is for someone with a deeper understanding of dpkg than mine
[06:57] <MethinX> remote computer is ubuntu
[06:57] <ein2015> leo: ^_^
[06:57] <_anu> crying
[06:57] <ein2015> root_: yeah i noticed that too... which is default in ubuntu?
[06:57] <leo> eni2015 yes I got it now thanx...
[06:57] <gbear14275> quick q... whats normal ssh server to install on ubuntu to enable ssh logins?  openssh?  or is there another thats more often used
[06:57] <root_> ein2015 idk,  i think xchat-gnome   that's why i mentioned it.
[06:58] <ein2015> good call root_
[06:58] <Dr_willis> gbear14275,  thats the normal one
[06:58] <_anu> who understand dpkg more
[06:58] <_anu> ?
[06:58] <n8tuser> MethinX -> man wall
[06:58] <gbear14275> Dr_willis: thanks :)
[06:58] <broomhandle> hey im installing gdesklets and it's asking if i want to start hddtemp at startup, should i do this?
[06:58] <_anu> who understand dpkg ? please help me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[06:58] <Dr_willis> gbear14275,  there are some alternatives.. but not as commonly used
[06:59] <Dr_willis> _anu,  you are really  going to get more people to just Ignore you by doing extra fluff like that.
[06:59] <tv7497> bazhang: sir what are the drivers for ati inbuilt graphic card
[06:59] <leo> ein2015,  Do you know if there is a shortcut for typing in the name and then tab?
[06:59] <_anu> Dr_willis , what shall i do then ?
[06:59] <Dr_willis> _anu,  some times you just got to break down and check the foumums and read the various apt-get docs/manuals/guides and learn the system
[06:59] <redvamp128> _anu:  have you read the bug report page yet? Bug #262451 in dpkg (Ubuntu Intrepid): “dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.” <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/dpkg/+bug/262451>
[06:59] <bazhang> tv7497, which card number
[06:59] <noth> Methinx : I fond package "netsend" but it's not default
[06:59] <bullgard4> Synaptic: "GStreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of filters which operate on media data." What is a 'framework' here?
[07:00] <tritium> _anu: please stop your nonsense
[07:00] <_anu> Dr_willis , they are hard to understand
[07:00] <Dr_willis> _anu,  and your point is?
[07:00] <nikrud> _anu, and for here, the normal method is to repeat the full question, on one line (like the one I complemented you on) every 5 - 10 minutes
[07:00] <tv7497> bazhang: no idea sir its in built
[07:00] <_anu> Dr_willis , i just want to go on using Ubuntu
[07:00] <bazhang> tv7497, how about checking with lspci
[07:01] <Dr_willis> _anu,  also rewrite the prblem and what you have done in a nice clear maner and post it to the forums and give the url here - for others to read so tney can get up to speed on the problem.
[07:01] <root_> _anu i'll give you someone to talk to while you try to figure out the issue.    how much free space on the root filesystem ?   df -h | grep ' /$'
[07:01] <n8tuser> _anu -> i dont know if it will fix this,  de-install cups  do your dpkg fix  assuming it will fix it, and re-install cups
[07:02] <redvamp128> nikrud:  pm?
[07:02] <tv7497> bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/108881/
[07:02] <_anu> n8tuser , how to reinstall the cups ?
[07:02] <Dr_willis> !info cups
[07:02] <nikrud> redvamp128, sure
[07:02] <n8tuser> _anu -> apt-get install cups
[07:02] <Dr_willis> _anu,  'sudo apt-get remove cups'   ' sudo apt-get install cups'
[07:02] <_anu> Dr_willis , thank you

[07:03] <bazhang> tv7497, is this for getting compiz going?
[07:03]  * root_ recons that _anu didn't want someone to talk to after all  ;/
[07:03] <elpargo_> I want a report with user - used space for each dir in /home
[07:03] <n8tuser> elpargo_ -> cd to the homedir of user and  du -h
[07:04] <Dr_willis> elpargo_,   cd /home   and  the 'du' command -  with proper options
[07:04] <root_> elpargo_ du -sh /home/*
[07:04] <tv7497> bazhang: no sir friend has shifted over to ubuntu helping him
[07:04] <elpargo_> root_, ohhh ok I had that but had it wrong (the path)
[07:04] <_anu> n8tuser : dpkg still error
[07:04] <elpargo_> n8tuser, Dr_willis thanks but I wanted "all users" not just one in particular
[07:04] <kj4> !lvg

[07:06] <_anu> nivek , thank you
[07:06] <bazhang> _anu, please ask
[07:06] <tv7497> bazhang: yes sir arent there any open source s/w ?
[07:06] <Destil> So if I downloaded the desktop  (8.10) version I _should_ be able to boot directly from the CD and install on a x86 system?
[07:06] <_anu> bazhang , i still get the error
[07:06] <tritium> Destil: yes
[07:06] <root_> Destil that's the plan
[07:06] <_anu> nivek , it still don't work
[07:06] <bazhang> Destil, if the iso is not corrupt, you burned slowly, and you did the disk integrity check yes
[07:07] <Destil> bleh.
[07:07] <bazhang> Destil, you may also wish to try the alternate cd
[07:07] <Destil> bazhang: yes
[07:07] <_anu> hi , there
[07:07] <bazhang> Destil, that will do when the livecd chokes sometimes
[07:07] <tv7497> bazhang: the driver is activated but its not in use how do i use it sir ?
[07:07] <Dr_willis> Destil,  als see what files are on the cd you burnt - if theres a single 'whatever.iso' file - well.. you burnt it wrong. :)
[07:08] <_anu> please help me , i want to go on use Ubuntu
[07:08] <Destil> baz: yeah Im ownloading it now hoping to finger it out from there.... just not sure about the txt mode commands and wutnot
[07:08] <nivek> _anu, sry I'm not familiar with your problem, but don't give up. There are many-a-genius in here
[07:08] <kj4> can someone please refer me to a good resource on lvm2?
[07:08] <bazhang> tv7497, did you reboot the system after activating
[07:08] <PresidentRaffi> :(
[07:08] <Dr_willis> Destil,  i also tend to use the 'unetbootin' tool to make a bootable/install-from-able thumb drive to boot from. its faster then cd  in many cases
[07:08] <Destil> Dr. Willis: no the cd is right
[07:08] <n8tuser> Destil -> however..just for comparison, 8.04 is more stabler..
[07:08] <PresidentRaffi> anu_ what's wrong?
[07:09] <tv7497> bazhang: but i didnt ask to restart ! will do and come back
[07:09] <_anu> my Synaptic couldn't work
[07:09] <n8tuser> Dr_willis -> how long is the download to the thumbdrive for the entire process?

[07:10] <_anu> atom^x , i have searched it , no use
[07:10] <nivek> _anu, PresidentRaffi  asked you what was wrong... i.e. restate your problem

[07:16] <mattg> just a quick question, i've installed ubuntu 8.10 on a windows laptop using the program, wubi. i was able to create a user account for myself and install updates, etc. however, i installed ubuntu to an 8gig usb flash drive using unetbootin, with this version, i can start and get into the OS but any changes i make (new user, adding software, etc) don't save when i shut down the computer or restart (which takes quite a bit of time),
[07:16] <PresidentRaffi> i would just uninstall it and use emacs ;)
[07:16] <PresidentRaffi> and assorted compilers
[07:16] <_anu> PresidentRafii , what are them , i don't know that
[07:16] <cdenny> ein2015:  i did what he told me to do
[07:16] <PresidentRaffi> emacs is a text editor, to say the least
[07:17] <_anu> PresidentRaffi , i am green hand
[07:17] <ein2015> _anu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs
[07:17] <PresidentRaffi> green horn?
[07:17] <efefefe> how to create gnome panel shortcut to program ,  in  terminal ?
[07:17] <cdenny> ein2015:  but i have to wait until it finished syncing
[07:17] <PresidentRaffi> or green thumb?
[07:17] <ein2015> cdenny: okay cool... let me know if that fixes your problem :)
[07:17] <_anu> PresidentRaffi : i am a girl new to Ubuntu
[07:17] <Gnea> mattg: you cut off at: (which takes quite a bit of time),
[07:17] <cdenny> ein2015: last time i pushed disconnect it bricked my ipod, it registered as full but no songs were in it, so I had to reformat it.
[07:18] <cdenny> ein2015:  lets hope that doesnt happen ;)
[07:18] <mattg> Gnea: any ideas or a place to read up on the issue. sorry, completely new to this.
[07:18] <mattg> that was the end
[07:18] <ein2015> oh wow cdenny ... let me see if there's a post on that happening
[07:18] <Gnea> _anu: what sort of questions do you have, exactly?
[07:18] <PresidentRaffi> don't say that out loud, _anu, they'll all pounce on you
[07:18] <_anu> PresidentRaffi : dpkg wrong , i think
[07:18] <_anu> though i don't know what is that
[07:19] <Gnea> mattg: is your question in regards to the wubi installation or the usb installation? i'm thinking it's the usb, but the distinction wasn't obvious..
[07:19] <ein2015> cdenny: i havent heard of amarok bricking your ipod... was it doing stuff to it when you disconnected it last time?
[07:19] <PresidentRaffi> dpkg is the backend for apt which is the backend for synaptic
[07:19] <mattg> Gnea: yes, the usb version.
[07:19] <cdenny> ein2015:  i synced all 1k songs, then clicked disconnect, and then bad stuff
[07:19] <kompi04> jony
[07:19] <ein2015> cdenny: :(
[07:19] <cdenny> ein2015: my ipod is really messed up though
[07:19] <_anu> PresidentRaffi , then what can i do , it's so weak
[07:20] <cdenny> ein2015: i just did factory restore but it still wont show album art most of the time
[07:20] <PresidentRaffi> honestly, the package manager on ubuntu is one of the few things stopping me from using it
[07:20] <cdenny> ein2015: sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt...
[07:20] <mattg> Gnea: the changes that i make aren't persisitant, they reset back to the basic settings when i restart or shut down
[07:20] <jony> gabung ah
[07:20] <cdenny> ein2015: i believe its caused by my usb link head unit in my car though, an Alpine X100
[07:21] <gbear14275> ok... I just installed the SSH package with openssh server... how do I configure/discover how to log into this machine... tried the IP address I got from /sbin/ifconfig but it didn't work
[07:21] <Gnea> _anu: please, clearly, tell us what your main problem is. if you keep spouting problems left and right, no one is going to help you.
[07:21] <cdenny> ein2015: 70%
[07:21] <ein2015> hmmm cdenny there is an issue about album artwork that i've seen... here read these two posts when you have time...
[07:21] <gbear14275> i tried looking for a man page too but I don't think I know the command to look for

[07:21] <ein2015> cdenny: post 2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=969713
[07:21] <Gnea> mattg: does the usb drive have some sort of switch to make it read-only? also, what filesystem is it formatted to?
[07:21] <PresidentRaffi> hmm
[07:21] <_anu> Gnea , i am very specific , dpkg not work ,  ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.
[07:22] <PresidentRaffi> _anu: what's the command that that occurs on]
[07:22] <mattg> Gnea: it doesn't have a read only switch, it's formatted to FAT32.
[07:22] <_anu> dpkg configure
[07:22] <Gnea> _anu: that's only a snippit - can you please pastebin the entire error?
[07:22] <cdenny> ein2015:  lol thats exactly what happened
[07:22] <Qlix> ein2015 ._.
[07:23] <ein2015> hi Qlix
[07:23] <Qlix> sup
[07:23] <Gnea> mattg: okay. ubuntu doesn't work right on fat32 - it's impossible to change permissions, so everything is read-only.
[07:23] <sisterblue> how can i find which pwc driver file to install from this webpage http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pwc+&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all    --- i am using ubuntu 8.10
[07:23] <Gnea> mattg: it would have to be ext2 or ext3
[07:23] <Gnea> !usb | mattg
[07:24] <mattg> ubottu: thanks! i'll check those out.
[07:24] <root_> Gnea excuse me.  linux handles fat32 correctly.   but there are no permission bits on fat
[07:24] <_anu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/108884/
[07:24] <Boohbah> !root | root_
[07:24] <mattg> Gnea: can I format to the correct format using vista?
[07:24] <cdenny> ein2015:  ugh, i hope i dont have to do all of that
[07:24] <Qlix> hello
[07:24] <Tekumel> New system being booted for the first time...*crosses his fingers*
[07:24] <Qlix> i can't find my little sister
[07:24] <Qlix> pls help
[07:25] <Gnea> root_: pardon me, but since there are no permissions, it can't write anything. and no, linux does not run off of a fat32 partition - yes, it can handle regular devices, but the / cannot be fat32.
[07:25] <Dr_willis> mattg,   with vfat and ntfs  - you must set the permissions using the proper options when you Mount the drives.
[07:25] <Gnea> mattg: check out that second URL that I had ubottu give you
[07:25]  * PresidentRaffi wakes up
[07:25] <Flannel> Qlix: Please stay on topic
[07:25] <cdenny> ein2015:  just remembered, i transferred one song earlier today and that worked
[07:25] <mattg> Gnea: yea I'm reading that right now, thanks!
[07:25] <_anu> hi people
[07:25] <PresidentRaffi> _anu: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[07:25] <cdenny> ein2015: it played, anyway
[07:26] <PresidentRaffi> oops sorry

[07:27] <PresidentRaffi> without that first space there
[07:27] <ein2015> cdenny: good to see :)
[07:27] <PresidentRaffi> figure out why it can't parse that file
[07:27] <_anu> i don't use vi , i use gedit
[07:27] <PresidentRaffi> same difference
[07:28] <cdenny> ein2015:  its done, "flushing ipod filesystem cache"
[07:28] <Gnea> _anu: it doesn't matter, just edit the file.
[07:28] <Qlix> noob

[07:28] <_anu> it's empty 0225

[07:28] <Gnea> _anu: how can it be empty if it's complaining about #padding?

[07:29] <mattg> Gnea: the link says that i should set aside a partition of 750mb for the install of ubuntu and then the rest of the drive format as fat32, is 750mb enough?
[07:29] <_anu> but it is
[07:29] <Flannel> _anu: pastebin the output of 'sudo apt-get -f install'
[07:29] <cdenny> ein2015: so far
[07:29] <PresidentRaffi> sudo apt-get remove --purge apt
[07:29] <Golanster> hello, can someone help me with the installation prossess ?
[07:29] <_anu> Flannel ok
[07:29] <Flannel> PresidentRaffi: No, that's a bad idea.
[07:29] <ein2015> Golanster: installing it on what?
[07:29] <PresidentRaffi> sudo apt-get install yaourt :D
[07:30] <ein2015> Golanster: (i'm assuming you mean installing ubuntu itself, right?)
[07:30] <cdenny> ein2015: i clicked disconnect and its doing something
[07:30] <PresidentRaffi> Flannel: what did he do?
[07:30] <_anu> don't play me , i know nothing
[07:30] <Golanster> i have an old p4 1800 laptop without a cdrom drive and i cant figure out hot to install ubuntu on it
[07:30] <_anu> ok?
[07:30] <Flannel> PresidentRaffi: It's not important.
[07:30] <PresidentRaffi> oh, of course it's important ;)
[07:30] <root_> matty installing linux on a usb stick ?   no reason not to use the whole stick really.
[07:30] <PresidentRaffi> this is the main support channel, isn't it?
[07:30] <ein2015> Golanster: got any USB flash drives?
[07:30] <Flannel> PresidentRaffi: And please stop it with the faux instructions.
[07:31] <ein2015> PresidentRaffi: i think so :P
[07:31] <cdenny> ein2015: now its synchronizing?!
[07:31] <cdenny> ein2015: um...
[07:31] <ein2015> cdenny: hmmm... let it keep going
[07:31] <Flannel> _anu: Pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get -f install` not the other ones
[07:31] <Golanster> i dont have an option in the bios toboot from usb
[07:31] <Gnea> mattg: it's up to you - i'd probably use the whole thing
[07:31] <_anu> Flannel . should i say y?
[07:31] <cdenny> ein2015: atleast its getting charged ;|
[07:31] <Flannel> _anu: yes
[07:32] <PresidentRaffi> looks like anu is caught in the openjdk/jre no-mans-land
[07:32] <PresidentRaffi> i hear it's infested with wolves at night
[07:32] <cdenny> ein2015: still synchronizing...
[07:32] <_anu> Flannel , it's installing something
[07:32] <Flannel> PresidentRaffi: please keep it on topic.
[07:32] <root_> PresidentRaffi heh.
[07:32] <ein2015> lol cdenny :(  if that doesnt fix it... take some time to search through ubuntuforums and the wikis... i dont have a 3rd gen ipod so i havent had your problem
[07:32] <PresidentRaffi> that is on topic
[07:32] <mattg> Gnea: so format the whole drive as FAT16, can i then use the 'unetbootin' program to install it to the usb drive, that program made it very easy?
[07:32] <cdenny> crap
[07:33] <cdenny> ein2015: post command disconnect failed
[07:33] <Golanster> i tryed to use unetbootin and load the live cd. but when i get to the partition stage in the install i get no hard disk.
[07:33] <ein2015> cdenny: boo :(
[07:33] <tritium> PresidentRaffi: wolf infestations are *not* on topic, and you know that.
[07:33] <Golanster> my main HD is mounted as cdrom...
[07:33] <root_> matty no. format the whole thing to ext2/3
[07:33] <PresidentRaffi> it's an allegorical wolf infestation
[07:33] <rshakin> anyone know how to enable DRI
[07:33] <PresidentRaffi> the wounds of proprietary influence
[07:33] <cdenny> ein2015: so its disconnected
[07:33] <ein2015> Golanster: hmmmm
[07:33] <_anu> Flannel is it ok , installing?
[07:33] <cdenny> ein2015: $hit
[07:33] <Haymaker> hey uhh if i have a folder that says GTK-2.0, thats different from metacity, right?
[07:33] <mattg> root_: when you say matty are you referring to me?
[07:33] <cdenny> ein2015: "no music"
[07:33] <Flannel> cdenny: Obfuscated swearing still is.  Please refrain from it.
[07:33] <migi> have one question: where should one write the IP and DNS addresses in (x)ubuntu (the ones you write in TCP/IP in network addressing on WinXX)?
[07:33] <tritium> cdenny: family-friendly, please
[07:33] <Gnea> mattg: what method are you using?
[07:33] <Flannel> _anu: Yes
[07:34] <cdenny> 'sorry
[07:34] <ein2015> Golanster: do you have any other machines that you could use to help you install?  i need to read some first so i can figure out how to help you :)
[07:34] <root_> mattg yes, and i would use ext2 to improve the life of the device.
[07:34] <ein2015> cdenny: hmmm :(
[07:34] <byrd> I'm having a real problem installing a decent news reader on Ubuntu that has NZB support
[07:34] <mattg> Gnea: method to do what?
[07:34] <byrd> im very new to ubuntu
[07:34] <ein2015> cdenny: i think it has something to do with that error message, the post command disconnect failed message
[07:34] <_anu> Flannel , what is it installing ?
[07:34] <cdenny> can you have two ipods on one itunes library?
[07:34] <cdenny> because I have a vista computer with itunes
[07:34] <Gnea> mattg: ...you did read the website, didn't you? you said you did...
[07:34] <PresidentRaffi> cdenny: use ipodlinux/rockbox ;)
[07:34] <mattg> root_: can i format the drive to ext2 in windows or do i do it through linux?
[07:35] <root_> linux
[07:35] <PresidentRaffi> and yes, i believe you can
[07:35] <Flannel> _anu: It's fixing what wasn't installed before (It's finishing the install of eclipse)
[07:35] <_anu> Flannel , ^^
[07:35] <PresidentRaffi> seeing as it would be profitable to apple
[07:35] <Golanster> i have anotein2015 : i have another computer
[07:35] <PresidentRaffi> is it working _anu?
[07:35] <Golanster> oops
[07:35] <cdenny> PresidentRaffi: i think ill do just that then
[07:35] <_anu> PresidentRaff , yes
[07:35] <mattg> root_: after formatting can i use 'unetbootin' to do the install?
[07:35] <Golanster> ein2015 i have another computer
[07:36] <cdenny> im running in a vm setup, so that adds some more factors
[07:36] <root_> mattg i don't see why not
[07:36] <PresidentRaffi> you remind me of a poet i met once, _anu
[07:36] <PresidentRaffi> it's uncanny

[07:36] <mattg> root_: okie doke, i'll give that a try
[07:36] <ein2015> Golanster: what operating system does the computer you want to install ubuntu on currently run?
[07:37] <PresidentRaffi> ops don't like me...so i don't like ops
[07:37] <_anu> ?

[07:38] <somaunn> what's the new link or website to Go-opensource ?
[07:38] <cdenny> ein2015: im digging this ubuntu studio though

[07:46] <tritium> ein2015: I'm aware of what you're doing
[07:46] <Gnea> cdenny: lots of issues? take it up with apple.
[07:47] <Boohbah> gerber: it depends on what service or protocol you want to use... SSH is a good one.
[07:47] <kulight> gerber: windows or linux ?
[07:47] <Dr_willis> gerber,  determine what service/type of 'connection;' you want.. install the proper service.. connect.
[07:47] <Anacranom> Flannel or bazhang , any chance you have a min to help me out, i think i've screwed up big-time and need some 1-on-1, i think my kernel is g itself from some directions i receivedre-compilin
[07:47] <jedi06> where are usb mounted?
[07:47] <Gnea> jedi06: usually in /media/
[07:47] <gerber> remote desktop connetion
[07:47] <Anacranom> *recompiling
[07:47] <ein2015> cdenny: have you tried using a different program besides amarok?
[07:48] <Dr_willis> jedi06,  check with the 'mount' command ... in /media/SOMTHING normally
[07:48] <kj4> gerber I use ssh for just about everything, for simplicity, but the transfer rate is not as good as some 'simpler' methods
[07:48] <leo> Now, can someone please tell me if I can change the color of my font so it is not blah grey? I got everone elses set just not mine...and again XChat.
[07:48] <Gnea> leo: for that, you should ask in #xchat
[07:49] <Dr_willis> xchat has a very well done homepage and docs.. and my xchat textis black.. not grey. :)
[07:49] <leo> Gnea,  How do I get there?
[07:49] <Dr_willis> well what i say is grey i gues.. :)
[07:49] <ein2015> leo: /join #xchat
[07:49] <gerber> where is ssh ?
[07:49] <Gnea> leo: type this -  /join #xchat
[07:49] <Dr_willis> leo,  click here --> #xchat
[07:49] <Dr_willis> :)
[07:49] <Gnea> gerber: type this:  which ss
[07:49] <leo> thanx
[07:49] <Gnea> gerber: type this:  which ssh
[07:49] <Arenlor> Does anyone have a guide for setting up VMWare?
[07:49] <Dr_willis> !vmware
[07:49] <Gnea> !vmware | Arenlor
[07:49] <kj4> gerber: sudo apt-get install ssh-server   if you wish to share on that machine
[07:49] <gerber> ssh
[07:50] <_anu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/108885/
[07:50] <kj4> gerber: make that sudo apt-get install openssh-server, sorry
[07:50] <ein2015> kj4: do you know if openssh contains both server and client?  (or am i smoking something here?)
[07:50] <Arenlor> Dr_willis, Gnea: thanks
[07:51] <ein2015> kj4: like apt-get install openssh
[07:51] <kj4> ein2015, i believe the client is installed by default, not sure
[07:51] <Dr_willis> ein2015,  installing the 'ssh' package will grab both.
[07:51] <ein2015> thx Dr_willis :)
[07:51] <stdin> ein2015: the package "ssh" depends on "openssh-client" and "openssh-server"
[07:51] <kj4> Dr_willis, thanks!
[07:51] <ein2015> stdin: perfect
[07:51] <werdnum> what's a pirate bot doing in here?
[07:52] <arrbot> Hello. How can I remove Ubuntu including the boot manager from my hard drive?
[07:52] <gerber> thank you all
[07:52] <arrbot> avast ye!
[07:52] <stdin> arrbot: install another OS over it, it should overwrite it all
[07:52] <kj4> arrbot what is your 'other' operating system?
[07:52] <arrbot> well, i am not trying to get ubuntu out of my life. i am giving this hard drive away
[07:53] <leo> there is no one in xchat i will have to try later...thanx for showing me how to get there though...
[07:53] <kj4> arrbot: then i'd use a disk utility to write zeros to it
[07:53] <Dr_willis> leo,  the xchat homepage has a large help sectiion and forum
[07:53] <arrbot> write zeroes? you mean to securely wipe away all my files?
[07:54] <kj4> kj4 'ultimate boot cd' has a collection of drive tools on it.
[07:54] <ein2015> arrbot: http://blogs.zdnet.com/storage/?p=129
[07:54] <stdin> fwiw, you don't need a "utility" to do it
[07:54] <stdin> just use dd
[07:54] <leo> Dr_willis, ok I am new to all this... thanx
[07:54] <kj4> arrbot, writing zeros isn't exactly 'secure' but it's good enough for a drive you are giving away, provide there wasn't top secret info on the drive
[07:55] <arrbot> ah, yes. thank you. thanks ein for the link too
[07:55] <ein2015> no problem arrbot :)
[07:55] <DIFH-iceroot> kj4: overwriting a harddrive ONCE is enough, but i have only a german link for you to read it (heise.de)
[07:55] <arrbot> would this remove the boot manager as well?
[07:55] <ein2015> arrbot: should wipe the entire drive... kind of like buying it new ;)
[07:55] <arrbot> yes! except it will still be old :)
[07:56] <biouser> GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error, trying to play .swf created by pyvnc2swf, any ideas?
[07:56] <ein2015> basically arrbot :)
[07:56] <werdnum> arrrrrrrrrr bot
[07:56] <werdnum> arrbot: dd if=/dev/urand of=/dev/sda
[07:56] <werdnum> :)
[07:57] <arrbot> i am afraid that i don't understand
[07:57] <arrbot> i am only a pirate
[07:57] <werdnum> arrbot: if you type that at a terminal, it will overwrite the disk /dev/sda with random data.
[07:58] <arrbot> ah
[07:58] <kj4> werdnum, can /dev/sda be mounted during that write?
[07:58] <arrbot> i will do that to my enemies the next time i board a ship
[07:58] <Dr_willis> kj4,  it can be... but i wouldent suggest it. :)
[07:59] <Dr_willis> kj4,  it wnt work for long.
[07:59] <Tekumel> I'm trying to set up a fakeRAID using dmraid, but after sudo dmraid -ay, when I check the disk size it's the same as one HD (as if it were RAID 1) when theoretically it should be RAID 0. How do I go about fixing this?
[07:59] <kyleR> question, not sure if anyone can answer, but i have a usb hub and whenever i connect anything to it, my mouse becomes really unresponsive for some reason..anyone know why?
[07:59] <ein2015> kyleR: is the hub powered?
[08:00] <kj4> Dr_willis, so really, the procedure would be to physically install the drive in a running system, find out it's device assignment
[08:00] <kj4> and run dd on that
[08:00] <kyleR> yeah and when i unplug the power supply it works fine
[08:00] <britta_> ?anyone who can help me install testdisk? I have downloaded the tarball, but get stuck in the process. I run 8.10 and am a novice at this.
[08:00] <Dr_willis> kj4,  yes..or boot a live cd. and do it from there
[08:00] <zaapiel> when is ubuntu 9.04 to be released?
[08:01] <Dr_willis> kj4,  theres live cds with 'secure disk eraser' tools on them
[08:01] <werdnum> kj4: no, you can't mount a disk, only a partition.
[08:01] <kj4> Dr_willis, i find the live CD to be the best method, and a handy tool to have around anyway
[08:01] <Tekumel> zaapiel: The label 9.04 would lead one to suspect April of 2009.
[08:01] <ein2015> kyleR: is the mouse also plugged into the hub, so when you plug a second thing to into the hub then it becomes unresponsive?
[08:01] <zaapiel> k
[08:01] <jemark> zaapiel: april 2009
[08:01] <zaapiel> ty
[08:01] <Dr_willis> kj4,  that why i have a box of themn. :)
[08:01] <kj4> my favorite is 'system rescue CD'
[08:01] <zaapiel> its gonna have ext4!
[08:01] <zaapiel> w00t
[08:02] <kyleR> ein2015: no the mouse is connected to a port in the back of my desktop..i mean it doesnt stop completely but it barely works..like it freezes up
[08:03] <ein2015> kyleR: then i dont know what's going on... are you SURE the hub is powered (aka from the wall plug to the hub by a separate cable)?
[08:03] <ein2015> kyleR: because other than that... i'm at a loss :(
[08:03] <kyleR> it is powered. when i unplug it though, the hub still works and my mouse if fine
[08:03] <Photoguy> Hello! =D
[08:04] <bittin> Hello =D
[08:04] <Photoguy> Hello! =D
[08:04] <ein2015> kyleR: dont know what to tell you then... possibly a faulty hub.
[08:05] <Anacranom> my mini-notebook does not have a cd-rom drive, can i download the ubuntu ISO and mount it and install it? its running sled11 now, i want to run 8.10 instead?
[08:05] <kyleR> could it be anything with the power going to the computer..maybe too many things plugged in or something cuase its not just when im ubuntu, when i had xp running it did the same
[08:05] <Jub> You could try the Thumbdrive boot
[08:05] <leo> I have new text color....yehaw!!!
[08:06] <ein2015> kyleR: doubt it... i've just never heard of this problem where the hub is powered.... when it's unpowered then sure... but not powered.  :(
[08:06] <Jub> -.-
[08:06] <ein2015> yay leo ! :)
[08:06] <jmgtrplyr84> how do i add a icon set
[08:06] <Photoguy> Good morning!
[08:06] <jmgtrplyr84> do i have to do it manually or is there a application to do it for me
[08:06] <Photoguy> Good afternoon!
[08:06] <kyleR> yea its really weird, kind of annoying cause i cant use the usb hub for anything..i dont think its a faulty hub either
[08:06] <Photoguy> Good
[08:07] <ein2015> kyleR: have you tried using other hubs?
[08:08] <jmgtrplyr84> how do i change the icon theme
[08:08] <Dr_willis> !theme
[08:08] <jmgtrplyr84> i have a theme
[08:09] <jmgtrplyr84> i dont know where the application is to do it on gnome
[08:09] <Dr_willis> jmgtrplyr84,  drag/drop it to the theme changer control panel thing
[08:09] <Dr_willis> I think
[08:09] <gerber> what i want to do is watch my dvr security camaras over the internet
[08:09] <jmgtrplyr84> where is the theme changer at
[08:09] <Dr_willis> system -preferances -> appearances  - :) logical eh?
[08:09] <gerber> where i put the ip address
[08:10] <Dr_willis> jmgtrplyr84,  youmay need to  click 'customize' an drag it to that window that pops up
[08:10] <jmgtrplyr84> ok there it is thanks
[08:11] <ein2015> gerber: probably http://ipaddy (such as http://192.168.1.1)
[08:11] <Dr_willis> jmgtrplyr84,  tere also the 'gnome-art' tool that can install themes for you from gnome-look
[08:11] <ein2015> gerber: in a browser most likely
[08:11] <jmgtrplyr84> where is that at
[08:12] <gerber> in ubuntu where is the http ?
[08:12] <jmgtrplyr84> i know how to manually install it just didnt know where the appplication to change the theme was
[08:12] <leo> Can I ask what XUBUNTU, KUbuntu, EdUbuntu, diferances are?
[08:13] <server_> alloha people
[08:13] <picca> anyone here know how to stop applications sticking to the panels in ubuntu - e.g. if firefox gets close to a panel it jumps and sticks to it
[08:13] <Dr_willis> leo,  check each ones homepage. for specifics.  the default desktop is the main differance
[08:13] <jmgtrplyr84> is there a way to split view like in dolphin on nautilis
[08:13] <Davekong> leo, xubuntu is based around the xfce DE, Kubuntu KDE, EdUbuntu has a bunch of educational stuff for kids
[08:13] <O__o> picca, it is in the appearance
[08:14] <picca> okay thanks
[08:14] <leo> Davekong, Thanx just wondering
[08:14] <server_> i wanna secure my local network..... i want that the local clients connects to the local server by a vpn, what shall i do? Every client must make a IPSEC tunnel to the server or shall i use poptop ?
[08:14] <O__o> picca, i mean advance desktop effect manager
[08:14] <cdenny> ein2015: WOW
[08:14] <cdenny> ein2015: that was a mess
[08:14] <cdenny> ein2015: im not even going to try to use my ipod in ubuntu
[08:15] <picca> O__o, ah is that something i need to install
[08:15] <burt> hello,  I uninstalled the network manager awhile back, but now just reinstalled it.  The icon did not appear in the tray yet, how can I start it?  I ran "sudo NetworkManager"  but no icon either.  btw I installed both network manager and network manager front end for gnome.
[08:15] <server_> what shall i do people?
[08:15] <ein2015> cdenny: what happened this time?
[08:15] <O__o> picca, it is in snapping windows
[08:16] <picca> okay thanks O__o
[08:16] <O__o> picca, uncheck "edge attraction"
[08:16] <ein2015> gerber: open firefox, and put in the IP address into the address bar
[08:16] <server_> and why is the NFS server slow? Cause when i watch one video from the server it goes good, but when i watch 2 video from the server it gets slow and when i watch 2 video's and copy a big file to the nfs server it is very slow, why is that?
[08:16] <cdenny> ein2015: connecting the ipod rendered my mouse and keyboard useless,so i restarted ubuntu, which failed due to an error in vmware tools, and then when i rebooted finally my cursor was non existant
[08:17] <server_> in normal situations thousends of people work on the nfs
[08:17] <server_> what happen if that 1000 people watch a video on the nfs server?
[08:17] <DavidLeon> anyone knows why i get this error when i try to build mono from trunk? http://pastebin.com/m43849503
[08:17] <zer0c00l> hii room is there any Free software alternative available for Fluent and Gambit
[08:17] <ein2015> cdenny: dont do any gambling man... your luck seems down tonight. :P  i've never heard of that problem when connecting ipods.  :(
[08:17] <burt> ﻿hello,  I uninstalled the network manager awhile back, but now just reinstalled it.  The icon did not appear in the tray yet, how can I start it?  I ran "sudo NetworkManager"  but no icon either.  btw I installed both network manager and network manager front end for gnome.
[08:18] <cdenny> ein2015:  yea tell me about it
[08:18] <server_> i think i need to a higher level for this questions.... i try #FreeBSD , they always know it :)
[08:18] <Voox> hii :]
[08:18] <cdenny> ein2015: thats why i have a vista pc down the hall chugging away on itunes with the ipod
[08:18] <ein2015> cdenny: you said you're running ubuntu in a VM right?
[08:18] <cdenny> ein2015: yes
[08:19] <jmgtrplyr84> burt isnt it sudo network-manager
[08:19] <cdenny> does anyone know why when sometimes i push a key down it just keeps spamming with that key when im not holding it down
[08:19] <cdenny> like the key is stuck, but it isnt physically stuck
[08:19] <jmgtrplyr84> its case sensitive bert so its got to be exact
[08:20] <ein2015> cdenny: i wonder if that could be it... doubt it, but i still wonder. :\  try some more research about the different problems you have with your ipod.  i find googling "ubuntu ipod blah" helps... such as "ubuntu ipod keyboard not responding" or something like that :\
[08:20] <burt> ﻿jmgtrplyr84, thanks I'll try that
[08:20] <leo> Well G'night all you UBUnatics I think I have learned enough for 1 night, I am out of here...Later!
[08:22] <nivek> can someone tell me how to configure my compiz?
[08:22] <cdenny> i hope if I continue typing it wont dont it much longer
[08:22] <ocRob> nivek: sudo apt-get install sccm
[08:22] <burt> ﻿jmgtrplyr84, nope, command not found.  "sudo NetworkManager" seemed to work, but i got no tray icon.
[08:22] <\kira> My system crashed while loading, then gave me a grub error when i restarted. One of my partitions was corrupt, now I cant seem to reinstall kubuntu on that disk. or any other disk. I always get failed to create  file system, or filesystem cannot be mounted errors while installing. That happens after I manually partition because one of my partitions "appeared" to have survived whatever happened to the first partition
[08:22] <bazhang> !ccsm | nivek
[08:22] <zmanning> hey guys my computer is hanging quite a bit.  it will just stop and think.. i cant even type.  i have 2gb of memory and a decent cpu. anything i can do to optimize?
[08:23] <ocRob> er
[08:23] <ocRob> nivek: sudo apt-get install sscm
[08:23] <burt> ﻿jmgtrplyr84, looks like I have to log out, then back in
[08:23] <ocRob> nivek: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[08:24] <zer0c00l> any free software alternatives available for 'Gambit' software?
[08:24] <nivek> ocRob, thanks :)
[08:24] <cdenny> ein2015: thank you goodbye
[08:24] <Flannel> anu: Now that we've done the -f, try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[08:25] <rkstr> zer0c001: i may be wrong, but blender may have plugins for most of it
[08:25] <DavidLeon> anyone knows why i get this error when i try to build mono from trunk? http://pastebin.com/m43849503
[08:25] <zer0c00l> rkstr Gambit is used for Computational fluid dynamics
[08:25] <rkstr> yes, zer0
[08:26] <rkstr> ain't blender nifty
[08:29] <mib_bixwab> hi, can anyone recommend a simple application where I can crop a video (make a short excerpt of a video) ?
[08:29] <tritium> rkstr: ban-evading doesn't help your cause
[08:33] <soulfly420> hi everybody
[08:33] <Brack10> So I can play 2 mplayers at once, but I can't mplay mpd and mplayer at the same time, anyone know why?
[08:34] <rkstr> probably because mplayer and mpd are competing for alsa, whereas 2 instances of mplayer probably pipe their output into one stream
[08:35] <Brack10> I see
[08:36] <Brack10> so what's the best option?
[08:36] <rkstr> either use jackd or learn to focus on one thing at a time ;)
[08:37] <Brack10> no I need the functionality for something special I'm doing
[08:37] <sachael> guys, do google gadgets require compositing?
[08:37] <rkstr> a screen capture?
[08:37] <Brack10> a music on hold server with announcements :)
[08:38] <Vinceman> my totem movie player can not determine the type of stream, what's that all about?
[08:39] <Vinceman> sleightr
[08:42] <Woden> Is the next version of Ubuntu going to be LTS?
[08:42] <Flannel> Woden: No. 10.04 will be the next LTS (as is currently scheduled)
[08:42] <jedi06> what do you use for concurrent versioning system?
[08:42] <miranda_psi> woden: 10.04 should be the next LTS
[08:43] <joelsolanki> good morning friends :)
[08:43] <jedi06> its 3:43am good morning
[08:43] <Woden> Why does Ubuntu add folders to the Home directory?  Are those used by any other Ubuntu applications?
[08:43] <joelsolanki> :)
[08:43] <ein2015> 2:43am good morning
[08:43] <joelsolanki> yes good morning
[08:43] <Atuk-Hensem> hello
[08:44] <Atuk-Hensem> ayo ayo
[08:44] <gfather> hello guys
[08:45] <ein2015> gfather: sexist :P
[08:45] <gfather> guys really how can i raise the volume for calls ?
[08:45] <gfather> :P
[08:45] <gfather> hello girls
[08:45] <Boohbah> gfather: alsamixer
[08:45] <miranda_psi> jedi06: cvs & svn are probably the most popular, git is another popular one and there are many others around as well (Darcs is a rather interesting one, though not widely used)
[08:45] <joelsolanki> I have a friend who has installed ubuntu at his home. and i wanted him to connect to my openvpn server. but damm it is giving some error while connecting.
[08:46] <joelsolanki> even i tried to reverse ssh to it but that is also giving error.
[08:46] <gfather> Boohbah i know , but how can i do it , i dont know the command for it
[08:46] <sachael> hi, sorry to ask here, my distro's channel wont reply - do google gadgets require qt?
[08:46] <jedi06> which is easier to use cvs or svn
[08:46] <joelsolanki> so is there other way that i can connect to his mchine.
[08:46] <joelsolanki> machine
[08:46] <joelsolanki> he is behind nat
[08:46] <jedi06> does top show the priority of the process?
[08:46] <Boohbah> gfather: just type 'alsamixer' at the terminal
[08:46] <gfather> oks
[08:46] <Kaiseran> hello all
[08:46] <Boohbah> jedi06: yes, under the NI column
[08:47] <Kaiseran> need some help with kubuntu installation pls
[08:47] <Kaiseran> I am getting a buffer I/O error on dev sr0 everytime i try to install off the CD
[08:47] <jedi06> there is a PR and NI column is 20 0 high?
[08:47] <joelsolanki> anyone ?
[08:47] <tritium> sachael: no
[08:47] <Boohbah> jedi06: 'man nice', 'man renice'
[08:47] <joelsolanki> hmm
[08:48] <Sofistio1> hi to everyone
[08:48] <Woden> Why does Ubuntu add folders to the Home directory?  Are those used by any other Ubuntu applications?
[08:48] <Sofistio1> little question
[08:48] <joelsolanki> does ubuntu starts selinux by default ?
[08:48] <Atuk-Hensem> hahaha
[08:48] <Atuk-Hensem> lol
[08:49] <jedi06> my process was has been runing for 50mins and the cpu usage went down i'm thinking the priority dropped
[08:49] <Sofistio1>  i want to use kmid as karaoke player and i've seen it's included in kdemulimedia package but i cannot find it none can know where it is? or how to install it?
[08:49] <Sofistio1> tnx
[08:49] <miranda_psi> jedi06: in actual use they are both almost identical to use, though svn is harder to set up (need to set it up in a web server or set it up so that you can use ssh tunneling)
[08:50] <werdnum> jedi06: might be more sensible to use a more modern rcs
 which one controls the sound for the internal speaker ?
[08:50] <Flannel> miranda_psi: Setting SVN up on a webserver is super easy.  Also, bzr requires very little setup  as well.
[08:50] <jedi06> rcs?
[08:50] <miranda_psi> revision control system
[08:51] <yage> Hi! Im using samba 3.2.3 to export a EXT3 filesystem to an XPsuck machine. The xp machine is not able to copy files larger than 4gb from one share to another, it simply truncates them. Any idea? I suppose is a windows fault.
[08:51] <miranda_psi> Flannel: that may be, but that is still extra work and you just need to be aware that it is something that has to be done
[08:53] <Dr_willis> yage,  Hmm..  I was thinking i can move more then 4gb files ehre over samba.  but im not sure now. :)
[08:53] <doktoreas> hello everybody
[08:53] <jedi06> oh well what is a more modern one werdnum
[08:54] <yage> Dr_willis: well, if you create them on the linux host no problem, but you wont be able to create them from windows on xp box
[08:54] <yage> i meant, from the xp box on the share
[08:54] <Mohammad[B]> Hi all
[08:54] <Dr_willis> yage,  i tend to move about dvd/iso files a lot... but imnot sure if any ofthem are over 4gb.. Now thta you mention it.
[08:54] <miranda_psi> jedi06: what are you going to use it for?
[08:54] <Dr_willis> yage,  you may wan to check the samba homepage/faq there maybe some info on that
[08:55] <gfather> hay <Mohammad[B]
[08:55] <Mohammad[B]> How to i can ban a PORT on my network ?
[08:55] <yage> allready done, ive asked also on #samba, waiting for an answer
[08:55] <olivier_> does someone know of vnc connection problems ?
[08:55] <abchirk> Where does archivmounter put the .iso or else in the filestructure?
[08:55] <abchirk> it is not under /media
[08:55] <werdnum> jedi06: If you're into DCVSes, think about Git, Mercurial or Bazaar.
[08:56] <Dr_willis> abchirk,  try the 'mount' command and see
[08:56] <sachael> oh no, not mercurial! i hate it..
[08:56] <ein2015> !someone | olivier_
[08:56] <miranda_psi> jedi06: Darcs is also useful for DCVS
[08:56] <olivier_> I can't connect with vnc to my remote box and I don't know why
[08:56] <Woden> Why does Ubuntu add folders to the Home directory?  Are those used by any other Ubuntu applications?
[08:56] <ein2015> olivier_: is the remote box behind on the same network?
[08:57] <gfather> guys anyone knows how can i change the system font ?
[08:57] <abchirk> isn't listed there too Dr_willis but I can access it via nautilus
[08:57] <gfather> linke install a new one
[08:57] <olivier_> no, it's 1000 km from where I live
[08:57] <miranda_psi> Woden: what folders are you talking about? the folders starting with a '.'?
[08:57] <ein2015> olivier_: do you know if it's behind a NAT?
[08:57] <olivier_> I connect through a gateway
[08:57] <olivier_> Yes it is
[08:57] <Woden> miranda_psi:  No not that hidden ones.
[08:57] <ein2015> is port forwarding set up correctly?
[08:57] <Dr_willis> abchirk,  nautilus can do special things without actually 'mounting'  things in a way they appear with mount.
[08:58] <olivier_> the nat is properly configured as far as I know
[08:58] <Dr_willis> abchirk,  you may want to  mount the thing in some other way
[08:58] <abchirk> hm ok thank you.. I will mount it by hand
[08:58] <jedi06> what makes them more modern?
[08:58] <miranda_psi> Woden: what ones are you talking about then?
[08:58] <Woden> miranda_psi:  The "music" and "documents" and "pictures" and "videos" folders
[08:58] <olivier_> port 5901
[08:58] <ein2015> have you ever been able to remote into it or have you always had a problem?
[08:58] <olivier_> No it's the first time I try
[08:58] <werdnum> jedi06: Ability to work with more than one "main server", superior support for branching, tagging and merging, often faster.
[08:58] <olivier_> but I can ssh to the machine
[08:59] <ein2015> olivier_: sounds like it might be a configuration error on the other end
[08:59] <Atuk-Hensem> how to upgrade ext3 to ext4?
[08:59] <olivier_> I think so but it seems to start well
[09:00] <ein2015> olivier_: how so?
[09:00] <olivier_> No error message
[09:00] <olivier_> just connection timed out when I try to connect
[09:00] <miranda_psi> Woden: none of them are actually required, its just that a lot of people expect those and are used as default locations for some programs (but they should just fall back to /home/user without any problems)
[09:00] <werdnum> jedi06: ease of setup, too -- you don't necessarily need a "server", per-se
[09:00] <Piratenaapje> I'm trying to package/get my application packaged for Ubuntu, but am clueless what channel I should join to ask for help. Any ideas?
[09:01] <ein2015> ah there's the ticket olivier_ ... okay give me a moment while i try to figure your problem out (or if anybody else can, maybe they'll jump in)
[09:01] <Woden> How do I get my wireless working?  I have Windows installed on the other partition and it works with my wireless just fine.
[09:01] <olivier_> Lol I know It's been some hours that I try to figure it out too
[09:01] <ein2015> olivier_: what OS is your other PC?
[09:01] <olivier_> ubuntu both
[09:02] <olivier_> 8.04
[09:02] <ein2015> thxu
[09:03] <olivier_> Maybe you would like to see some command outputs ?
[09:03] <olivier_> but where to post it ?
[09:04] <bazhang> !paste
[09:04] <ein2015> olivier_: use pastebin
[09:04] <olivier_> done
[09:04] <ein2015> olivier_: now paste me the link :)
[09:05] <Dr_willis> !info pastebinit
[09:05] <Woden> How do I get my wireless working?  I have Windows installed on the other partition and it works with my wireless just fine.
[09:05] <ein2015> Woden: when you ask that it's usually a good idea to paste some information about what wireless card you're using
[09:06] <Dr_willis> Woden,  well that shows that windows works... :)  and the hardwareis not broke.. but thats about it.
[09:06] <soulfly420> anybody know about rhythmbox error ?
[09:06] <Woden> ein2015:  I don't know. It's a Dell Inspiron B130.

[09:07] <Woden> ein2015:  It's a Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 Wireless LAN Controller
[09:08] <howl> Greetings, what is the best installation option for postfix if all I want to do is use it for a php mail form?
[09:08] <Woden> Dr_willis:  It's a Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 Wireless LAN Controller
[09:08] <bazhang> !broadcom
[09:08] <olivier_>  did you get the link ?
[09:08] <ein2015> olivier_: yeah one sec
[09:09] <Dr_willis> Woden,  on my oher laptop it had one of those - I just installed the b43-fwcutter tool and it started working
[09:09] <Dr_willis> !find b43
[09:09] <ein2015> olivier_: i found a good way to do it with the GUI, just gotta figure out how to do it with the CLI now ;)
[09:09] <Surlent777> would anyone know how to set up the framebuffer, to ie use mplayer, dosbox?, etc.
[09:09] <Woden> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4318
[09:10] <olivier_> the lsof output was from the server btw
[09:10] <Woden> Says it is natively supported in Intrepid...so how do I get it to work?
[09:10] <ein2015> olivier_: i assumed :)
[09:10] <Dr_willis> Surlent777,  set the framebuffer mode in the menu.lst file, then you may want to install the fbset command and other fb tweaking command.. then for mplayer. you have to give it the proper -vo output option. No idea on dosbox
[09:11] <Surlent777> dr_willis: On DOSBox, I just noticed that trying to start it in the Virtual Console would give me a rant about Frame Buffer
[09:11] <olivier_> now the ps aef output : http://paste.ubuntu.com/108895/
[09:11] <Dr_willis> Surlent777,  ive never used it in the framebuffer.. so not sure how well that works.
[09:11] <lorenzosu> With Ubuntu 8.10 I connect correctly to a WPA wi-fi network. The first time I asked the network app to save password, but at each rebut I'm promped for my (sudo) password to connect. How can I have the wifi connect automatically and truly save the apssword?
[09:11] <Woden> "Broadcom BCM4318 is now natively supported in Intrepid by: - NDISwrapper - BCM43XX"  <---How do I do this?
[09:11] <Dr_willis> Surlent777,  i do  use  mplayer in the framebuffer every so often
[09:12] <Dr_willis> Woden,  i did not have to use ndiswrapper - some of the guide for getting it going are old.
[09:12] <Surlent777> Dr_willis: So, there should be some more-or-less obvious tweak in menu.lst, and then I need to apt-get fbset? Is that about correct?
[09:12] <olivier_> and the iptables output : http://paste.ubuntu.com/108896/
[09:12] <Dr_willis> Woden,  install the b43-fwcutter tool and see if the  network manager can  hndle it.
[09:12] <Woden> Dr_willis:  THis is old?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4318
[09:12] <Dr_willis> !find fbset
[09:13] <Dr_willis> Surlent777,  yea. theres a vga= line. You may want to set it to 'vga=ask'  to try different modes
[09:13] <Woden> Dr_willis: What is b43-fwcutter?
[09:13] <Dr_willis> Woden,  all i recall doing last time on my Laptop was installing the b43-fwcutter paclkage  and then it started working.
[09:13] <ein2015> olivier_: is port 5901 forwarded to that IP in the network?
[09:13] <Dr_willis> Woden,  it downloads the proper firmeware for the  card
[09:13] <olivier_> is there something you would like to check about the client side ?
[09:13] <Dr_willis> !info b43-fwcutter
[09:14] <Surlent777> Dr_willis: sounds a bit...risky. Oh well, time for science
[09:14] <MethinX> in Unbuntu 8.10, is there an option of cleaning up temperary files?
[09:14] <Dr_willis> Surlent777,  risky? i dont see how. :)
[09:14] <Dr_willis> !framebuffer
[09:14] <olivier_> yes , on the gateway (a ISP provided router)
[09:14] <Dr_willis>  Surlent777  i rarely use the framebuffer any more
[09:14] <ein2015> olivier_: i doubt it's your client, those are really hard to mess up (i think)
[09:14] <lorenzosu> With Ubuntu 8.10 I connect correctly to a WPA wi-fi network. The first time I asked the network app to save password, but at each rebut I'm promped for my (sudo) password to connect. How can I have the wifi connect automatically and truly save the password?
[09:14] <Surlent777> also, on the issue of nonworking wireless cards, I made mine work by using ndiswrapper on the drivers on the CD, and then *disabling ufw*
[09:15] <Woden> Should I be doing aptitude dist-upgrade or aptitude upgrade?
[09:15] <olivier_> That's what I think too
[09:15] <ein2015> hmmm is X running on that box? :\
[09:15] <Woden> Should I be doing aptitude dist-upgrade or aptitude upgrade?
[09:15] <olivier_> yes it is
[09:16] <ein2015> Flannel: do you have any ideas why olivier_ might not be able to VNC into a box he has VNC server on, port 5901 forwarded to, etc?
[09:16] <Woden> Can anyone see this?
[09:16] <ein2015> Woden: no
[09:16] <olivier_> Is there a mean to check connection attempts on the server ?
[09:16] <Woden> ein2015:  What is the way I do an update and upgrade?
[09:17] <ein2015> olivier_: it'd be in the logs somewhere, but if you're getting a timeout problem then i dont know
[09:17] <Flannel> ein2015: I know (almost) nothing about VNC.  So, assuming the forwarding is proper, and he's connecting to the right IP.  Nope
[09:17] <ein2015> Woden: command line or gui?
[09:17] <Woden> ein2015:  I don't care, either way
[09:17] <ein2015> heh Flannel i'm kind of in the same boat
[09:18] <Surlent777> Dr_willis: getting the fbset package...generates a lot of error messages. =(
[09:18] <ein2015> Woden: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/keeping-safe/C/updates.html
[09:18] <Dr_willis> Surlent777,  its optional - it lets you tweak framebuffer settings on the fly
[09:19] <Surlent777> Dr_willis: It's giving me stuff about "read only filesystems"
[09:19] <lorenzosu> With Ubuntu 8.10 I connect correctly to a WPA wi-fi network. The first time I asked the network app to save password, but at each rebut I'm promped for my (sudo) password to connect. How can I have the wifi connect automatically and truly save the password?
[09:19] <ein2015> olivier_: about one of the only ideas i can come up with then is just to make sure you've followed the instructions offered here... although they seem possibly out of date :\ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402
[09:19] <ein2015> olivier_: i'm trying to find more up-to-date instructions
[09:20] <Dr_willis> Surlent777,  is your filesstem read only? :)  check mount command? this is an installed system? or live cd?
[09:20] <olivier_> is an ethereal like app can see what is the traffic on the server ? maybe I could see why it's being rejected ?
[09:20] <olivier_> Ok I look
[09:20] <Surlent777> Dr_willis: It's an installed system with a fairly standard setup
[09:20] <Dr_willis> Surlent777,  check with 'mount' be sure / is rw
[09:20] <Dr_willis> Surlent777,  be sure its not full also. :)
[09:20] <Surlent777> heh, 300GB HD. It ain't full.
[09:21] <Surlent777> Dr_willis: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
[09:21] <ein2015> olivier_: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795036&highlight=VNC
[09:22] <Dr_willis> Surlent777,  try 'sudo touch /testfile'
[09:22] <bod> Hi, i just booted my computer up, and now one of my gnome-panels (the one with the applets and menus) is sort of half the size, it seems to have cut the left and right ends of because there was no applets there -- anyone know whats happened?
[09:22] <Dr_willis> Surlent777,  if the filesytem has issues... it can get remounted read only   seen that happen befor on some machines
[09:22] <Surlent777> Dr_willis: Nothing happend
[09:22] <Dr_willis> Surlent777,  you did run the apt-get commands as root?
[09:23] <Surlent777> Dr_willis: Of course
[09:23] <ltracy> bummed.  Power supply (I hope) died on desktop, so I tried to run 2 x screens on my laptop (one on laptop, one on LCD).  The screen on my LCD didn't fill the entire screen (the resolution said it was set correctly..) and any time I tried opening a graphical app I got this error box that didn't fill out.  After seeing the error box, though, none of the gnome pannels on either screen would respond to any keypress.
[09:23] <lorenzosu> With Ubuntu 8.10 I connect correctly to a WPA wi-fi network. The first time I asked the network app to save password, but at each rebut I'm promped for my (sudo) password to connect. How can I have the wifi connect automatically and truly save the password?
[09:23] <Dr_willis> Surlent777,  not sure whts going on then. You may want to pastebin the full error message
[09:23] <olivier_> all right, I've read them already, it's advanced configurations. I've tried the ssh tunneling without success already
[09:23] <Surlent777> Dr_willis: k
[09:24] <ein2015> hmmm
[09:24] <olivier_> I think it's more logical to try the simplest way and if it works, then try those
[09:24] <Surlent777> Dr_willis: http://pastebin.com/d128c9e58
[09:25] <yoyit2> how do you do video backgrounds?
[09:25] <ein2015> well olivier_ that's about all i know... the instructions there are pretty simple.  other than that i dont know what to tell you personally.  perhaps somebody else here could be of better help.
[09:25] <sas> hey. can we use gpu with virtualmachine ?
[09:25] <Surlent777> ooh I can get this one yoyit2. Just give me a sec...
[09:25] <lorenzosu> yoyit2: Can you be a little more specific please?
[09:25] <Brack10> can you use a wyse60 dumb terminal to control a modern linux install via serial?
[09:26] <olivier_> ein2015 do you know about tools like ethereal ?

[09:26] <ein2015> olivier_: heard of them... havent used 'em

[09:26] <yoyit2> lorenzosu: i just want to be able to use avi or mp4 files for desktop backgrounds
[09:26] <olivier_> It could help in this case, but I don't know how to work them either
[09:26] <ein2015> lorenzosu: if you dont get any good responses, trying making a post in ubuntuforums and waiting for the reply
[09:26] <Surlent777> yoyit2: Look around there, and there is also a seperate (but similar) page for doing it with compiz
[09:27] <ein2015> olivier_: the instructions i linked to arent that complicated though.  i'd recommend it... but that's just me
[09:27] <Bodsda> yoyit2, might be worth pointing out you will lose all icons from your desktop
[09:27] <Surlent777> there is that...
[09:27] <lorenzosu> ein2015: Ok... just saw many people join, that's why I thought reposting :)
[09:27] <Dr_willis> Surlent777,  getting same errors here.. i wonder if its because i dont have the framebuffer enabled.
[09:27] <Surlent777> that could be it...?
[09:28] <ein2015> lorenzosu: no worries m8 :D
[09:28] <yoyit2> Bodsda: that sucks
[09:28] <Surlent777> Dr_willis: I'll try doing the grub thing tomorrow and then re-running that apt-get, I think. Thanks for the help.
[09:29] <lorenzosu> How to avoid password prompt for WPA wifi at each reboot in UBUNTU 8.10?
[09:29] <Bodsda> yoyit2, yep, as of yet there is no fix for it, although i believe there was an ugly hack with an older version of gnome and nautilus to allow multiple backgrounds
[09:29] <Dr_willis> lorenzosu,  i see that asked a lot.. but never seen a simple fix
[09:29] <joejc> im going to reinstall ubuntu should i do it before or after i install my new graphics card?
[09:29] <Dr_willis> joejc, install card.. install os
[09:30] <joejc> ok thanks
[09:30] <lorenzosu> Dr_willis: I managed on another machine but can't remember how I did it.. think it's about palying about keyrings but not sure

[09:39] <DavidLeon> so i can't stop init 6?
[09:40] <Dr_willis> gdm is ran as a service. normally
[09:40] <DavidLeon> the machine will boot anyway?
[09:40] <debianisdabest> ctrl+alt+c
[09:40] <Dr_willis> cant say that ive ever tried to stop it...  im suprised you are still here. :)

[09:41] <DavidLeon> why the hell the wm just disappear when i install some software????
[09:41] <DavidLeon> why on earth use such unstable wm :
[09:41] <debianisdabest> what software?
[09:41] <DavidLeon> obviously gnome
[09:41] <Dr_willis> try 'metacity --replace' DavidLeon  if you mean 'metacity' crashed
[09:41] <Dr_willis>  i dont think we are clear what you mean :)
[09:41] <lorenzosu> How to avoid (sudo) password prompt for WPA wifi at each reboot in UBUNTU 8.10?
[09:42] <DavidLeon> metacity just should go hell
[09:42] <MethinX> i think my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is busted... I have a  geforce FX 5500 and everytime I start ubuntu my resolution is at 1024x768  but its set in xorg.conf as 1280x960 and my NVIDIA X Server settings will not save changes to xorg.conf due to it not being able to create a backup xorg.conf.backup file, any ideas to permanently set my resolution to 1280x960?
[09:42] <debianisdabest> you could replace it with e16 or compiz
[09:42] <debianisdabest> MethinX: x auto detect your resolution
[09:42] <Dr_willis> DavidLeon,  whatever...
[09:43] <debianisdabest> MethiinX: are you using Free nv module or nonfree nvidia module
[09:43] <DavidLeon> i just too stupid to install ubuntu, i should try kubuntu instead
[09:43] <MethinX> Ill try
[09:43] <debianisdabest> Methinx: Make sure you use the nvidia config to change resolution
[09:43] <Dr_willis> DavidLeon,    or be more clear in what you are doing..
[09:44] <debianisdabest> Davidleon: Your get it, kubuntu is just ubuntu with kde, but you might like kde more
[09:44] <renton_> hello which ftp / sftp client do you suggest me on gnome?
[09:44] <DavidLeon> debianisdabest: yeah, wihtout the metacity everything goes fine
[09:44] <miranda_psi> DavidLeon: kubuntu install is the same as ubuntu - its just puts kde in instead of gnome
[09:44] <DavidLeon> shit
[09:44] <debianisdabest> filezilla
[09:45] <MethinX> when I save I get 'Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[09:45] <syockit> DavidLeon: on the other hand, over here (Kubuntu), plasma keeps dissapear and reappears
[09:45] <debianisdabest> renton_:sudo apt-get install filezilla if you like firefox morzilla
[09:45] <renton_> thanks
[09:45] <Dr_willis> use 'jwm' :)
[09:45] <debianisdabest> renton_: also great for ssh file transfer
[09:45] <joejc> whats best archive?
[09:45] <miranda_psi> MethinX: running as sudo?
[09:45] <syockit> MethinX: you ran without sudo
[09:45] <Dr_willis> joejc,  depends. :) what do you mean.
[09:45] <joejc> smallest output
[09:45] <MethinX> how do I click the icon at the top as sudo?
[09:46] <syockit> oh i see now
[09:46] <DavidLeon> i'm using ubuntu in a VM
[09:46] <Dr_willis> joejc,   depends on what you are compressing  some times..
[09:46] <DavidLeon> so i use Livecd
[09:46] <DavidLeon> fully installation means useless copying in HD
[09:46] <DavidLeon> i get restrictions of my HD
[09:46] <DavidLeon> so reboot is a no-choice for me
[09:46] <miranda_psi> MethinX: just run the command from the shell as sudo
[09:46] <debianisdabest> DavidLeon: do you have VM set as Ubuntu, and did you try installing VM ware tools
[09:46] <Dr_willis> joejc,  bzip2 does a good job..  you may want to try 7zip.  - depends on what you are arhivng and going todo witht he archives
[09:46] <MethinX> ohh duh, thanks
[09:46] <debianisdabest> DavidLeon: or VirtualBox tools
[09:47] <DavidLeon> set as ubuntu but no tools yet
[09:47] <DavidLeon> can livecd install tools?
[09:47] <olivier_> does someone know a way to check network traffic ?
[09:47] <DavidLeon> i suppose the livecd is installed by replace the CD
[09:47] <DavidLeon> i meant tools
[09:47] <debianisdabest> DavidLeon: Yes you could
[09:48] <DavidLeon> any advantage of tools
[09:48] <nyaa> does anyone have the ubuntu toolbox issue?
[09:48] <Dr_willis> virtualbox guest addations improve a lo of things.
[09:48] <DavidLeon> why the tools are required
[09:48] <nyaa> err, busybox
[09:48] <DavidLeon> why bother vbox
[09:48] <debianisdabest> DavidLeon: well probably not, but the advantage is that you get better performance, resolution, mouse in out, and sound
[09:48] <DavidLeon> i think VMWare is the best
[09:48] <Dr_willis> I dont like vmware.. so i use virtualbox.
[09:49] <MethinX> thank you miranda_psi and syockit, my problem is nolonger a problem!
[09:49] <debianisdabest> DavidLeon: VirtualBox is made by Sun, enough said lol
[09:49] <MethinX> now if only I knew how to make skype work on Startup
[09:49] <miranda_psi> MethinX: enjoy :)
[09:49] <Dr_willis> well virtualbox got bought by sun.  isent that more correct?
[09:49] <syockit> MethinX: use sessions?
[09:49] <debianisdabest> MethinX: add it to your session, Preferences>Session
[09:49] <jNoxx> sun=true
[09:50] <jNoxx> by default=)
[09:50] <jNoxx> I am java programmer)
[09:50] <MethinX> Sweet thanks!
[09:50] <nyaa> do you view sun as being good or bad then?
[09:50] <DavidLeon> how can i specify a user uses a mount point?
[09:50] <Dr_willis> user uses?
[09:50] <debianisdabest> Dr_willis: I did not know that, but I like it better, especially compared to vmware 2
[09:50] <bazhang> DavidLeon, in the live cd?
[09:50] <jNoxx> Sun is good/
[09:51] <ein2015> anybody get ubuntu working on xVM Server Early Access Release 3?
[09:51] <bazhang> DavidLeon, the live cd in a vm?
[09:51] <jNoxx> I have solaris on my server
[09:51] <Dr_willis> debianisdabest,  i couldent figure out vmware2 very much.. but alli testin them are live cd's  so vbox works better for me there.
[09:51] <joejc> found it its tar.lzma
[09:51] <debianisdabest> jNoxx: on x86 hardware
[09:51] <ein2015> anybody get ubuntu working on xVM Server Early Access Release 3? :)  or are they just supporting only opensolaris? :(
[09:51] <jNoxx> Yes
[09:51] <jNoxx> But i want spark)
[09:52] <debianisdabest> dr_wiilis: yeah vmware 2 annoyed me with the web interface and felt lacking
[09:52] <DavidLeon> bazhang: yeah
[09:52] <debianisdabest> jNoxx: we have a couple sparx boxes here, their pretty kewl, the way the bios integrates is interesting
[09:52] <DavidLeon> bazhang: livecd in a vm can perform quite much the same as an installed one
[09:53] <jNoxx> )
[09:53] <Rencx> what Keyring give?
[09:53] <jNoxx> My company works with banking systems based on java.
[09:53] <jNoxx> al works fine)
[09:53] <DavidLeon> how can i specify the user workplace viz, a mount point
[09:54] <debianisdabest> jNoxx: Nice
[09:54] <jNoxx> maybe chmod?
[09:54] <etfb> Just installing Intrepid on an Acer Aspire 8920, can't get the trackpad to stop treading mouse movements as mouse clicks.  Same old problem as with every other laptop and distro.  Does anyone know if the old Synaptics hack is still current in Intrepid?  I can't find the appropriate stuff in apt.
[09:54] <lorenzosu> How to avoid (sudo) password prompt for WPA wifi at each reboot in UBUNTU 8.10 (having selected save password)?
[09:55] <etfb> lorenzosu: Set the password to blank.  Ugly, but seems to be the only way.
[09:55] <lorenzosu> etfb: which password, the user one?
[09:55] <debianisdabest> lorenzosu: write a script that uses the command line tools, and runs at boot
[09:56] <syockit> No user-friendlier way?
[09:56] <lorenzosu> debianisdabest: any hint?
[09:56] <etfb> lorenzosu: Can't remember; it's been a while since I had to do that (in Gutsy; whatever I did to set up Hardy didn't cause the same problem).
[09:56] <Rencx> I have keyring problem because of WiFi network what actualy Keyring does?
[09:57] <Taqidito> toloooongg ngga bisa linuxan
[09:57] <debianisdabest> lorenzosu: yes, I think the tool is wireless-tools i haven't used any wireless tools in awhile, but wireless-tools has some command like {command} -sid {sid name} -wpa{password} wlan0
[09:57] <DavidLeon> where all those pack downloaded to?
[09:57] <hateball> lorenzosu: you can use polkit-gnome-authorization to make that happen
[09:57] <DavidLeon> synaptic
[09:58] <DavidLeon> i mean where synaptic download those software to where?
[09:58] <debianisdabest> apt
[09:58] <debianisdabest> repositories
[09:58] <hateball> lorenzosu: or maybe I misunderstood... did you talk about the keyring?
[09:58] <DavidLeon> where
[09:58] <DavidLeon> repositories?
[09:59] <debianisdabest> look in /etc/apt/source.lst i think
[09:59] <DavidLeon> download to
[09:59] <DavidLeon> where
[10:00] <DavidLeon> not where from
[10:00] <debianisdabest> your harddrive
[10:00] <lorenzosu> hateball: I installed UBUNTU 8.10. The first boot-up I selected my WPA wifi network which was correctly listed, and checked the option to save WPA password, but now each time I reboot the keyring pops up asking for password to connect: note that I have to insert the user (login) password
[10:00] <bazhang> !enter | DavidLeon
[10:00] <debianisdabest> oh i'm not sure i think it might be in /var or /tmp
[10:00] <DavidLeon> bazhang: stfu
[10:00] <ortsvorsteher> !language | DavidLeon
[10:00] <gordonjcp> DavidLeon: you're not really going about asking for help the right way
[10:01] <hateball> lorenzosu: then you should be able to fix it with polkit-gnome-authorization
[10:01] <gordonjcp> hateball: ooh, didn't know about that - that saves me asking a question ;-)
[10:01] <Dr_willis> 'asking for help on irc' "FAIL" :)

[10:01] <cosmicharade> Can anybody tell me why the extra keys on my keyboard have suddenly stopped working?
[10:02] <werdnum> Which keys?
[10:02] <cosmicharade> the ones for music.
[10:02] <werdnum> What have you done to stop them from working?
[10:02] <etfb> Dr_willis: Didn't you know?  The way to ask for help about something related to Linux is to say "Linux sucks because it can't [do such-and-such]".  Then a million people will prove you wrong!
[10:02] <cosmicharade> Nothing as far as I can tell.
[10:02] <ein2015> anybody get ubuntu working on xVM Server Early Access Release 3? :)  or are they just supporting only opensolaris? :(
[10:03] <cosmicharade> Used to be I could press the >> button and it would skip the the next song but now I have to press stop and then >>
[10:04] <lorenzosu> hateball: what's that?
[10:04] <Rencx> I have keyring problem because of WiFi network what actualy Keyring does?
[10:05] <cosmicharade> Can anybody tell me why the extra keys on my keyboard have suddenly stopped working?
[10:05] <rww> Rencx: it stores passwords like your WiFi password
[10:05] <raven> could anyone tell me how to export a video to mpeg using projectx or how to remux audio and video after demuxing
[10:06] <Rencx> rww if i delete file it is bad?
[10:06] <hateball> lorenzosu_: you set up permissions for different services and such
[10:07] <rww> Rencx: Your keyring file? Deleting it will delete passwords saved in various GNOME programs. Other than that, it's not bad. GNOME will automatically make a new keyring if it needs one.
[10:08] <Rencx> rww, so i need to do it and laiter set new password like my user because Keyring shows up after every restart.
[10:08] <Rencx> rww, or i can change user pasword like Keyring have?
[10:08] <ploom> raven, try software packages available under ubuntu-studio
[10:09] <rww> Rencx: Does your computer log in automatically, or do you have to put in your username and password on a login screen before your desktop appears?
[10:09] <raven> ploom you mean to remux?
[10:09] <Rencx> rww, automaticaly
[10:09] <lorenzosu_> !info
[10:09] <hateball> Rencx: If you log in automatically, you can use polkit-gnome-authorization to fix that...
[10:10] <lorenzosu_> !info polkit-gnome-authorization
[10:10] <lorenzosu_> gtg thanks for help
[10:10] <rww> Rencx: then you're going to get prompted for your password every time, because GNOME needs you password to open your keyring to get your Wifi password, and couldn't get it from GDM. Apparently, hateball has some wizardry that'll bypass that.
[10:10] <ploom> raven, unfortunately I have had similar problem, but I just looked around in the forums of those video editor programs
[10:11] <rww> hateball: that's System > Administration > Authorizations, right?
[10:11] <hateball> rww, Rencx : what you do is enable your account to modify system connections.
[10:11] <raven> ok but do you know any special software which is able to do that?
[10:11] <hateball> rww: yep! didnt know what it translated to in english :D
[10:12] <hateball> rww, Rencx: just because it works it might not be best practice from a security pov... but, it works :)
[10:12] <Rencx> hateball, can i change thet Ubuntu ask for password every time i start PC?
[10:13] <hateball> Rencx: read up a bit for how... and yes
[10:13] <yabuk> I downloaded the ubuntu dvd to be able to install basic programs without use internet, but how do I set the Synaptic P Manager to "reload" the list of programs from dvd?
[10:14] <nyaa> Yabuk usually it will ask if you want to open the package manager if you put a cd in that has packages
[10:15] <kanniball> what is the file, where I set the locales?? in my system I don't have the locales setted
[10:15] <rww> I have a bunch of files spread across several directories. I want to md5sum them all, so that I can check they copied correctly from one computer to another. How do I do that (I figure from the command-line using md5sum somehow, but I don't see an option for it in man md5sum...)
[10:15] <joejc> is it possible to change the title of a window?
[10:15] <Dr_willis> joejc,  just any program's window? not that i know of..  xterm. and otehr term programs - yes
[10:16] <Rencx> hateball, i'm new to Ubuntu and i need beter explain, because i din't uderstand where i must go and what i must do
[10:17] <hateball> Rencx:  System > Administration > Authorizations. Scroll down to network-manager, modify system connections. allow your own account. Done!
[10:17] <gordonjcp> rww: one way would be to do find <parent directory> | xargs md5sum
[10:18] <rww> gordonjcp: oh! xargs! I was wading through the find manpage, but couldn't remember the second part. Thanks :)
[10:18] <jsalisbury> I just installed Oracle 10g on Ubuntu 8.10.  I must say that I am amazed at how well it went compared to other distros :-)
[10:18] <gordonjcp> rww: "find" has some way of doing a command that's the equivalent of | xargs but I can never remember the syntax :-/
[10:18] <fprint> Hi,all!Is there any software for a linux cellphone?
[10:18] <gordonjcp> fprint: in what sense?  A phone running Linux?
[10:19] <fprint> gordonjcp, yes,all right!
[10:19] <ploom> raven, avidemux, kino and cinelerra are those kind of programs for me, but I am not an expert with video
[10:19] <gordonjcp> fprint: openmoko, for one
[10:19] <fprint> gordonjcp, moto E6
[10:19] <ploom> raven, there propably are command line tools for doing that too, but I have not used too much of them...
[10:20] <kanniball> what is the package that replaces localeconf?
[10:20] <gordonjcp> fprint: I don't understand that
[10:20] <Yigal> can any one help me with simple questions? first one: how to set static IP. I tried setting it but after restart it went back to the aut DHCP. Any idea?
[10:20] <raven> which tool do you use to easily remove ad from your movies?
[10:20] <fprint> gordonjcp, thanks any way.
[10:21] <gordonjcp> fprint: I think FIC make a couple of different phones now
[10:21] <ploom> raven, you mean logo, or just cut out some seconds at the middle of the movie?
[10:21] <Rencx> hateball, 1. must be in active seasion? 2. Must be on locale consule? 3. both
[10:22] <Rencx> hateball, and what will be beter if i do this or delete deflaut.keyring.file?
[10:22] <raven> my dvr records .ts files so mpeg ts format... is it possible to remove some seconds without new rendering??
[10:22] <raven> that would be great!
[10:23] <gordonjcp> raven: have a look at mjpegtools
[10:23] <gordonjcp> raven: I *think* they will let you chop mpeg streams at specific points without re-rendering
[10:23] <gordonjcp> raven: I know I've done it before, but it was about ten years ago and I can't remember what I used
[10:24] <raven> where do i get theese tools?
[10:24] <fprint> gordonjcp, thank you very much, a big help for me.
[10:25] <ploom> raven, I have had some success in cutting mpeg2 video with both: avidemux and cinelerra
[10:25] <ploom> raven, I just installed them through package manager...
[10:25] <hateball> Rencx: suppose you could ssh and xforward... then you just choose whichever account you want, dont have to be logged in as it
[10:25] <raven> ok i'll try
[10:26] <raven> thanks
[10:26] <ploom> raven, newest versions of cinelerra might need you to compile it, but avidemux is pretty old
[10:26] <Yigal> am i in the right place? or is there another forum that can support ubuntu technical questions?
[10:26] <hateball> Rencx: Well, I dont know which is "better". I just know what works for me
[10:26] <yabuk> nyaa: I'm using a live-dvd yet, can I make this only after install ubuntu or is there a way to test it on a live-dvd? I want to use this dvd like a "complete ubuntu (with programs without Internet )" in live-dvd, it'll be help-full to show ubuntu to peoples and to make some operations like: use avscan to scan windows, use ubuntu on my university's computers - without always have to download packages to use programs I like (blender,...). so is there a way to lo

[10:31] <nyaa> yabuk if you make your own ubuntu distro thats based off of a current one I bet you could put in what you want on it  pretty easily, or maybe I'm misunderstanding a bit.

[10:33] <lucio12345> hello
[10:33] <lucio12345> is there a PDF printer in ubuntu?
[10:33] <lucio12345> i haven't a printer but i would like to print a pdf file
[10:33] <jagadeesh_> has anyone configured t61 modem?
[10:34] <rww> lucio12345: There's a "Print to File" option that lets you choose between PDF and Postscript in the File > Print window
[10:34] <rww> lucio12345: well, for most apps, anyway
[10:35] <syockit> rww: I also have PDF as a printer in the list, what's that for? doesn't work anyway
[10:36] <rww> syockit: dunno. I just looked on a newly-installed Intrepid desktop, and it only has one entry in the list, "Print to File", that works. If you have another one it was probably installed by a package sometime.
[10:37] <lucio12345> print to file ?
[10:38] <rww> There's also cups-pdf, apparently, which is in the repositories.
[10:38] <lucio12345> i haven't a printer and when i choose new
[10:38] <stuart> Hi guys
[10:38] <lucio12345> i don't see it
[10:38] <Dr_willis> I thought the cups-pdf thing was installed by default
[10:38] <rww> Dr_willis: nope
[10:38] <stuart> I'm having a problem with SSH sharing, it's the same as this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975139
[10:38] <lucio12345> i choose menu System-> Administration->Printing
[10:38] <lucio12345> then NEW
[10:39] <howl> I'm running ubuntu server and I can't figure out why it won't accept this command: find . -name * -exec chown www-data:www-data {} \;
[10:39] <Ademan> is there a way to reset my main menu to the system wide version? mines gotten cluttered with duplicates and wierd stuff like that
[10:39] <lucio12345> but in NEW option i don't see files or pdf options
[10:39] <rww> lucio12345: Open Applications > Accessories > Text Editor (for example). Type some random text, then click File > Print, then click "Print to File". It's added by default; you don't need to add one yourself.
[10:40] <howl> I get the error: "find: paths must precede expression"
[10:40] <AphisOne> what is the cmd to display a file and echo new lines added to it live?
[10:40] <Ademan> howl: single quote the *
[10:40] <lucio12345> ah ok but i m using a program that Print to file is not present
[10:40] <rww> AphisOne: use the -F option to the tail command. See "man tail" and use a command like "tail -F filename"
[10:40] <rww> lucio12345: then look into cups-pdf
[10:40] <Ademan> find . -name '*' -exec chown www-data:www-data {} \;
[10:40] <AphisOne> rww: thanks... I was looking at less.. lol
[10:41] <lucio12345> the program is looking for a default printer
[10:41] <lucio12345> cups-pdf
[10:41] <lucio12345> ok
[10:41] <Ademan> howl: by the way, i think find without a -name at all will by default use everything
[10:41] <lucio12345> apt-get install cups-pdf?
[10:41] <Ademan> so you can remove -name '*' alltogether i'm pretty sure
[10:41] <rww> lucio12345: Yeah. I'm taking a look now to see if there are special instructions for it.
[10:41] <Ademan> howl: yep, just tested it
[10:41] <nnull> how would i convert .flac to playable cd audio guys?
[10:41] <lucio12345> ok now i have a PDF printer :)))
[10:41] <lucio12345> thanks
[10:41] <howl> Ademan: wow, thanks! It worked.  Its really strange that I can use that same command on my hardy desktop, but not on the server.... anyway, that worked, thanks!
[10:42] <Ademan> howl: that *is* wierd, glad it's working now though :-)
[10:42] <howl> you rock
[10:42] <nnull> !cd audio conversion
[10:42] <Ademan> hahah thanks
[10:42] <Ademan> nnull: i think brasero can handle that
[10:43] <jsalisbury> Is there an ubuntu performance channel yet?  If not, how about starting #ubuntu-performance?  Too specific of a topic?
[10:43] <nnull> Ademan, ahh k thx
[10:43] <Ademan> nnull: yeah just choose an audio cd project, I don't see why it wouldn't be able to handle flac
[10:43] <Ademan> nnull: if you don't like brasero there's always k3b which is really popular
[10:44] <rww> lucio12345, syockit: Looks like you need to make a directory named "PDF" in your home directory before cups-pdf will work. Files it creates will go in there.
[10:44] <lucio12345> ah
[10:44] <lucio12345> thanks
[10:45] <Fallenou> hi
[10:45] <syockit> thx mate
[10:45] <Fallenou> i have some problem with my hard drive APM
[10:45] <hateball> rww: it's customizable tho, the directory thingy
[10:46] <syockit> oohhhh, that explains why the folder magically appeared sometime ago
[10:46] <Fallenou> when i unplug the power supply i can hear a big CLACK coming out from the hard drive
[10:46] <Fallenou> which is i think due to agressiv spindown
[10:46] <joejc> hulu video wont play
[10:46] <joejc> nevermind just takes forever to load
[10:46] <gordonjcp> Fallenou: that would be the heads parking
[10:46] <Fallenou> head parking = spindown ?
[10:47] <nnull> Ademan, brasero is odd i try to create a audio cd then add 1 of the 13 tracks and it says the disc is oversized?
[10:47] <Fallenou> anyway , i put /dev/sda { apm = 255  spindown_time = 0 } in my /etc/hdparm.conf
[10:47] <Fallenou> but it still continues
[10:47] <Ademan> nnull: hrm flac files *are* huge after all :-p, but it should convert them... definitely give k3b a shot in that case

[10:48] <ReWS> some can help me? My apt-get update gets an error every time ill try to update
[10:48] <nnull> Ademan, the album is 370meg in flac format which was converted from Vinyl :x should fit! but doesn't
[10:48] <lucio12345> now the Test page in pdf is printed
[10:48] <nnull> and k3b is good, but why can't they make g3b :s
[10:48] <lucio12345> but the program i m using is looking for the default printer
[10:49] <rww> ReWS: copy and paste the error to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and say the link to the newly-created pastebin page here
[10:49] <lucio12345> the PDF printer is the default printer
[10:49] <Ademan> nnull: vinyl? flac? are you an audiophile? :-p
[10:49] <rww> lucio12345: Does it have a green checkmark on it in System > Administration > Printing?
[10:49] <nnull> Ademan, lol nah
[10:49] <lucio12345> yes
[10:49] <lucio12345> green checkmark
[10:49] <ReWS> where do ill find te pastebin page?
[10:50] <yabuk> nyaa: ﻿ when he says "(to make a livecd/dvd backup of your system)" does it really include all programs installed in my system?!
[10:50] <nnull> but i <3 music :-P
[10:50] <Ademan> nnull: yeah i just close my eyes when i use k3b and get it over with haha
[10:50] <Ademan> it's a very powerful program
[10:50] <Ademan> so i deal with the ugly
[10:50] <nnull> heh yea
[10:50] <syockit> nnull: probably most people think it's pointless. k3b runs fine anyway
[10:50] <rww> ReWS: Copy the error into http://paste.ubuntu.com/, press "Paste!", and you'll be sent to a new page with your text in it and an address like http://paste.ubuntu.com/123456/ . Copy that address here.
[10:51] <ReWS> okay thanks rww
[10:51] <nnull> ok you guys have talked me into using a K app.. *grunt's .. im formatting later anyway lol :)
[10:51] <rww> ReWS: oh, and by "error", I meant all of the output from the apt-get command, not just the error part.

[10:54] <leo> I hear that Linux has no Viruses or 99.9% virus free. My Question is Why is that? How is that?
[10:54] <rww> !virus | leo
[10:55] <nnull> jaunty, such interesting names heh, this one makes me think of a waterlike woodland critter (named jaunty)
[10:55] <ReWS> RWW: Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid
[10:56] <leo> rww,  I don't understand !virus / May I ask what that is?
[10:56] <rww> leo: see the message immediately after mine. Messages in this channel beginning with ! are usually requests to the channel bot, ubottu, to send people messages.
[10:57] <leo> OK thank you...
[10:58] <Nubbadon> Can any1 help me? :)
[10:58] <rww> ReWS: Okay. Well, your problem appears to be that some of the repositories you're using aren't supposed to be used in Ubuntu intrepid. In particular, one of them (the one at http://debian.uni-c.dk) is a Debian Etch repository. Since you're not running Debian Etch (which is an entirely different distribution), you don't have the Debian Archive keys (you have the Ubuntu ones instead), and apt-get is throwing up an error because of that.
[10:59] <hml> what's a good free to use video editing tool on ubuntu? I want to be able to watch a mp4, select a starting point, an ending point, and create a new video out of the region between the starting and ending points [not being able to handle video is okay; i just want it to handle the video part right]
[10:59] <rww> ReWS: consider removing the non-Intrepid entries from your repository list, because mixing repositories from different versions of Ubuntu, and from different distributions, will cause problems down the road, and is also not supported.
[10:59] <ReWS> rww can we go in a private room, ?
[10:59] <rww> ReWS: nope, I'd prefer to keep to this channel, thanks.
[11:00] <Stu09> Hi guys
[11:00] <ReWS> okay but it's because i would like to install these - apt-get install fglrx-control fglrx-driver fglrx-kernel-src module-assistant mesa-utils
[11:01] <Stu09> I'm having trouble writing to an SSH share
[11:01] <Stu09> it's pretty much the same problem as this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975139
[11:01] <ReWS> and these drivers is not in ubuntus original sourcelist?
[11:01] <rww> ReWS: Those are Debian packages, not Ubuntu ones, if I remember correctly. The Ubuntu equivalent is xorg-driver-fglrx from the "restricted" repository. Try those instead.
[11:01] <rww> !info xorg-driver-fglrx
[11:02] <jNoxx> There is little problems with hd**** in ubuntu
[11:02] <rww> ReWS: The tool in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers can also install fglrx
[11:02] <jNoxx> Not works with xorg 7.4
[11:02] <teniser> Which messenger supports webcam?
[11:02] <jNoxx> skype
[11:02] <teniser> only Skype?
[11:03] <jNoxx> no
[11:03] <Stu09> aMSN does aswell
[11:03] <Dr_willis> you dident ask for them all. :)
[11:03] <ReWS> no because when i open hardware drivers there are no drivers in it.. its just all blank
[11:03] <teniser> aMSN supports webcam?
[11:03] <jNoxx> last icq uses webcam too
[11:03] <Stu09> yep

[11:05] <johan12> what's the easiest way of extracting mutiple rar-archives, often sorted in different folders? you know, if you downloaded a season of tv-show and want to extract all episodes one at the time.
[11:05] <[p]Zombie> how do you set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be available globaly on a reboot you auto log in?       - i ve came quite far by editing it in  /etc/environment  BUT sadly it requires me to log off and on for it to work
[11:05] <rww> ReWS: that card isn't supported by fglrx
[11:06] <[p]Zombie> note that simply setting it in bashrc or .profiles doesnt help me because it is not available globaly then

[11:08] <Dr_willis> [p]Zombie,  err.. the  app is ran by  a shell.. so should see the changes...  or i guess ya could make a scriot that sets the variable then launches the java ide
[11:08] <[p]Zombie> as i said, it works by editing /etc/environment - just i have to log off and on first after a reboot to trigger some script i guess
[11:09] <[p]Zombie> there has to be a mor elegant way
[11:09] <rww> ReWS: Your card is probably supported by one or more of xserver-xorg-video-ati or xserver-xorg-video-radeon. Both of those are installed by default, and autodetected and used in Ubuntu. You could try switching between them, but odds are you're using the right driver right now.
[11:09] <Dr_willis> some changes  would be only seen  after you initially login. depending on if its spawning a login shell. or a normal shell
[11:09] <[p]Zombie> based on the thought that some script is executed after log off and on - i need to know how this script sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH system wide
[11:10] <[p]Zombie> the script which makes use of /etc/environment is the key to my question
[11:10] <rww> ReWS: Anyway, I'm about to go to bed. If you're having problematically-high CPU usage by Xorg consistantly (i.e., not just when moving windows, etc.), I'd recommend pastebinning your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and asking for help in channel

[11:59] <eagleboy> and is there a way to prevent the screen from going black when it boots (I removed the quiet option but it still goes black)
[11:59] <Dr_willis> smokie,  in that case i bet its using 'reset' as some alias  to reset the colors to default
[11:59] <smokie> Dr_willis, yes infact it is
[11:59] <Dr_willis> smokie,  and i do have  'reset' here on my shell

[12:03] <eagleboy> can someone help me with booting ubuntu on my laptop.
[12:03] <smokie> Dr_willis, well, i thought tput sgr0 is the way to reset back the colors to previous mode
[12:04] <elmnas> hi when I installed gnome-alsamixer I get this error , when I start it --> http://pastebin.com/m3991b3b8 can someone please help me
[12:05] <eagleboy> is there a way to prevent the screen from going black when it boots (I removed the quiet option but it still goes black)
[12:05] <Dr_willis> smokie,  it is..but for some reason the script iosent seeing the alias's made earlier
[12:05] <Woden> How do I install flash and java on Ubuntu?
[12:06] <smokie> Dr_willis, what do you suggest in this situation then?
[12:06] <ichbinesderelch> eagleboy: going black means just no display?
[12:06] <Dr_willis> Woden,  tried 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' ?
[12:06] <smokie> Dr_willis, is it possible to change the word reset in this alias to smokie for example?
[12:06] <Dr_willis> smokie,  make a 2 line script called 'Reset' in your bin. that calls the tput line? :)
[12:06] <Woden> Dr_willis:  I don't know what that is....where is the flash and java package?
[12:06] <ZeroA4> Woden, look for Ubuntu Restrited Extras on Add/remove
[12:06] <Dr_willis> smokie,  of course
[12:06] <Dr_willis> Woden,  that package will INSTALL those 2 packages and more
[12:06] <smokie> alias smokie="tput sgr0"
[12:06] <smokie> Dr_willis, you think this will change anything though?
[12:07] <smokie> let me test
[12:07] <eagleboy> is there something I can do to make it aware of the display?  I can see it booting and then it goes black, flashes like it detected the monitor but there is nothing being sent then it goes black again
[12:07] <Dr_willis> smokie,  alias Reset="tput sgr0" in your shell.. OR make a script in bin  called 'Reset' :)

[12:07] <elmnas> hi when I installed gnome-alsamixer I get this error , when I start it --> http://pastebin.com/m3991b3b8 please help me..
[12:08] <Dr_willis> smokie,  yea.. we may be overlooking omthing thats chaged in bash i guess
[12:08] <crunchbang> mazza la vecchia, col flit!
[12:09] <Dr_willis> smokie,  i made a 1 line script called 'Reset' in my  /home/username/bin/Reset   :) and made it executable.. it works now
[12:09] <crunchbang> quir
[12:09] <smokie> hmm mayb i should do that too to make it easier on myself
[12:10] <Dr_willis> smokie,  i cant get 'alias' to work in a script at all
[12:10] <Dr_willis> smokie,  even a simple 2 line example...
[12:10] <Dr_willis> #!/bin/bash      alias hi='echo hello'       hi
[12:10] <Dr_willis> hi - not found
[12:11] <sky_1> similar software like vmware for ubuntu ?
[12:11] <eagleboy> can someone help me with booting ubuntu on my laptop.
[12:11] <smokie> Dr_willis, i just wrote my first working bash script yesterday lol
[12:11] <smokie> and i was looking of a way to make it look "nice" by using colors
[12:12] <smokie> so im still not sure on why the error is happening or how to fix hehe
[12:12] <sky_1> vmware is for linux too ?
[12:12] <fosco_> sky_1: yes
[12:12] <eagleboy> can someone help me with booting ubuntu on my laptop, it was working fine till the kernel got updated and not it freezes on boot.
[12:13] <Dr_willis> smokie,  somthing is odd...
[12:13] <Dr_willis> smokie,  may be some bsah bug.. since that abs guide should be correct.
[12:14] <sky_1> fosco: but vmware is commercial yeah ?
[12:14] <fosco_> sky_1: not sure about its license, i use virtualbox
[12:14] <smokie> Dr_willis, yeah i assumed this much
[12:15] <smokie> sky_1, there is a free version i think
[12:15] <smokie> but i never really tried it
[12:15] <Dr_willis> smokie,  http://pastebin.com/f3796801f   even fails
[12:15] <sky_1> im downloading virtualbox :)
[12:15] <Dr_willis> smokie,  could ask in #bash if it fails for them . ( try my little example) i think it may be a bash bug
[12:16] <sky_1> how i can try fluxbox on my ubuntu with gnome ? :D
[12:16] <Dr_willis> smokie,  AHA!   shopt -s expand_aliases
[12:16] <Dr_willis> # Must set this option, else script will not expand aliases.
[12:16] <Dr_willis> smokie,  its a 'feature' :)
[12:17] <Dr_willis> smokie,  add that shopt -s line to the start of the script
[12:17] <smokie> where did you see that in the guide? :O
[12:17] <Dr_willis> smokie,  first google hit for bash alias script         http://www.museum.state.il.us/ismdepts/library/linuxguides/abs-guide/aliases.html
[12:17] <Dr_willis> which is a link to the ABS guide :)
[12:17] <pro-rsoft> Hi, im experiencing a bug: if I press control+alt+f1, the console flashes for a sec but then returns to X.
[12:17] <smokie> nice lol i should of done that
[12:17] <pro-rsoft> are there any known workarounds for this bug?
[12:17] <smokie> and im surprised he missed it in that guide
[12:18] <smokie> or mayb i did
[12:18] <smokie> but it works great now!!
[12:18] <Dr_willis> smokie,   yep.. looks like its a ubuntu 'set to a safe default' thing
[12:18] <oCean_> Attached laptop to tv monitoring through hdmi. "Configure display settings" recognizes external device (correctly) But when I choose to enable the tv monitor, it "goes" to my laptop, e.g. my laptop screen is called LG 32" and no signal is send to the TV. I think it is in my xorg.conf?
[12:18] <oCean_> What do I have to do? My xorg.conf is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/108943/
[12:18] <smokie> Dr_willis, ah so it might b different in other distro's or freebsd for example?
[12:18] <Dr_willis> smokie,  yep
[12:19] <Dr_willis> smokie,  proveing once again.. that it pays to read :) and read and reread ... and rererereread. :)
[12:19] <Dr_willis> smokie,  that abs guide is the kind of thing - i try ti reread about every 6 mo. :) to rember the things ive frogotten
[12:20] <smokie> nice
[12:20] <smokie> Dr_willis, i found it by googling last night
[12:20] <Dr_willis> !info abs
[12:20] <Dr_willis> !info abs-guide
[12:20] <Dr_willis> smokie,  its in the repositories.. You can intall it :)
[12:21] <smokie> Dr_willis, install the guide to have it on my desktop all the time? neat
[12:21] <Dr_willis>  smokie  yea. itinstalls to like ./usr/shar/docs/abs-guide
[12:22] <Dr_willis> smokie,  also theres the 'howto' guide.. check out the 'bash prompt howto'
[12:22] <Woden> How do I get DVD playback to work in Ubuntu?
[12:22] <smokie> Dr_willis, will do thanks dude
[12:23] <jrib> !dvd | Woden
[12:23] <Woden> jrib:  I installed restricted extras, but now I need to play a commerical DVD, how do I do that?
[12:23] <jrib> Woden: did you read the link ubottu gave you just now?
[12:24] <Woden> jrib:  Reading now
[12:25] <Woden> jrib:  Doesn't work.  There is no /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3 directory
[12:25] <Elly1> Sometimes when log-in to ubuntu, i accidentally enter my password first as "username". Will this be recorded somewhere?
[12:26] <sky_1> anyone know about some download manager like FlashGet ?
[12:26] <Dr_willis> Woden,  i recall the path being wrong in some of those guides now -
[12:26] <fosco_> sky_1: d4x
[12:27] <jrib> Woden: what ubuntu version?
[12:27] <sky_1> fosco: thank you :))
[12:27] <Dr_willis> Woden,   locate install-css.sh ------>   /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh exists here
[12:27] <energY> My /media/OneTouch wont umount
[12:27] <Woden> jrib:  Intrepid
[12:27] <mrwes> Elly1: no...other than a failed login, no
[12:27] <Dr_willis> Woden,  you run that after ya install the pckages.
[12:27] <energY> It says device is busy
[12:27] <jrib> Woden: pastebin: apt-cache policy libdvdread3
[12:28] <jrib> energY: close any programs that are accessing it (including shells)
[12:29] <Woden> Dr_willis, jrib:  Ok I found that now.
[12:29] <energY> jrib: I can't find any shells accessing it
[12:29] <energY> I have no gui turned on now
[12:29] <Elly1> mrwes: i pressed enter, and of course it didnt work. That counts as failed login:P? I hope the "user" part is encrypted in that case if it would be in some log.
[12:29] <jrib> energY: you can try using fuser or lsof then
[12:30] <energY> I didn't get any resoults I could use from either.
[12:30] <Dr_willis> well night all
[12:30] <jrib> energY: then reboot
[12:30] <Woden> Does Totem play back commerical DVDs?
[12:31] <jrib> Woden: yes
[12:31] <energY> jrib: A linux computer reboot?
[12:31] <Woden> jrib:  Why does the ubuntu page say that it doesn't and that I should install something called gxine?
[12:32] <jrib> Woden: What page?  That's not what I see on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[12:32] <Andre_H> Hello, i know it will not be supported, but is it possible to switch from an old debian etch r2 to an ubuntu hardy???
[12:33] <mrwes> Elly1: look in /var/log/auth.log
[12:33] <jrib> Andre_H: you already know the answer
[12:33] <Woden> jrib:  https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html#dvdplayback
[12:33] <linux> hi
[12:33] <Andre_H> not really
[12:33] <jrib> Andre_H: you should just reinstall
[12:33] <jrib> Andre_H: "it's not supported and is bound to go horribly wrong" is the answer
[12:33] <Andre_H> mmh, i will give it a try xD
[12:33] <jrib> Woden: it doesn't say it can't play DVDs
[12:33] <The_Joe_> Is there any benefit to be gained using the Ubuntu DVD rather than the CD?
[12:34] <Andre_H> jrib: on a reinstall...will ubuntu get my old home directory and my settings from debian?
[12:34] <Woden> jrib:  However, the Gstreamer framework (used by Totem) does not support menus or subtitles for DVD playback. For this reason, you can install a separate DVD player, Xine, which supports these. To install Xine, install the gxine package from the Universe repository
[12:34] <jrib> The_Joe_: the entire main repository is on the dvd, so you don't need to download software from the main repository if you use the dvd as a repository
[12:34] <Woden> Was I supposed to run that install-css.sh or was I supposed to sudo apt-get install libdvdread3?  Or both?
[12:35] <linux> i have problem with how to install network printer in ubuntu
[12:35] <jrib> Andre_H: is it on a separate partition?
[12:35] <Andre_H> no
[12:35] <jrib> Woden: what you just pasted here does not say totem cannot play DVDs
[12:35] <The_Joe_> jrib, Oh right so prior to installation I could choose the software I wanted? I may consider that if I ever NEED to reinstall Ubuntu.
[12:35] <Woden> jrib:  It can't do the menus and subtitles then, right?
[12:35] <jrib> The_Joe_: no, that's not the point.  You can do that with the cd too as long as you have the ram
[12:35] <bakarat> i have a harddrive with a non-encrypted boot partition and a handful of other partitions that are encrypted, now i need to restore grub on that non-encrypted partition. my question however is....where does grub "store" that it first has to run dm crypt on the drive before he can use it?
[12:35] <jrib> Woden: yes
[12:35] <jero> this is getting annoying really - why doesnt anyone come up with a straight answer on how to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH gobaly to be available straight on reboot without me having to log out and back in? Its not like i dont know how to edit files, but it seems the gurus dont know which files to edit either
[12:36] <Woden> jrib:  Was I supposed to run that install-css.sh or was I supposed to sudo apt-get install libdvdread3?  Or both?
[12:36] <jero> after all these years linux is still a complete mess
[12:36] <The_Joe_> Oh. In that case I'm fine with the CD
[12:36] <bakarat> i mean, if i just restore grub the old fashioned way, won't it try to access the drive as if it was unencrypted?
[12:36] <jrib> jero: /etc/environment, but why would you need to do that...?
[12:36] <The_Joe_> jero, You're a mess. Anyway bye
[12:36] <jero> jrib - i edited /etc/environment - it requires me to log out and back in before it works
[12:37] <jero> jrib - and i want to do this for drjava.jar my IDE for java to work
[12:37] <jrib> jero: only the first time you do it...
[12:37] <jero> in windows i simple edit the path variable and its all fine
[12:37] <nenadsuperzmaj> I have a problem configuring 3D windows on my Desktop Cube. No matter what settings I use, the sides of the Cube remain flat... Any ideas?
[12:37] <jero> jrib... nope it is everytime
[12:37] <jrib> jero: impossible
[12:37] <mrwes> nenadsuperzmaj: did you put a check in 'rotate' ?
[12:37] <jero> jrib - well, i use ubuntu 8.10 - fresh install - so yes, it is possible
[12:38] <jero> jrib - i use the autologin feature
[12:38] <jrib> jero: I'll try it here in a vm
[12:38] <nenadsuperzmaj> mrwes, yes I tried all combinations of those checkboxes...
[12:38] <jero> so when my system boots up, and i write env in the terminal - LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not listed
[12:38] <jero> when i log out and back in, it is listed properly
[12:38] <jrib> !enter | jero
[12:39] <jrib> Woden: both (in a particular order)
[12:39] <corey__> Hi, is there any possible way to increase the transmit/receive power on a linksys pci wireless-g card using ralink drivers?
[12:39] <zybil> hello
[12:39] <zybil> i am searching for a video tool that supports apple export
[12:39] <Woden> jrib: Which order?
[12:39] <jrib> Woden: the order the wiki has it in.  Install the package first
[12:39] <Woden> jrib:  Crap I did the script first what should I do?
[12:40] <zybil> and another video program with which i can load a video and do multitrack sound edit
[12:40] <jrib> Woden: you can't do the script first.  The script doesn't exist before installing the package
[12:40] <jero> jrib - you do not really have to try it - it is either a bug in ubuntu 8.10 or it is supposed to work this way. in any case the environment file is no standard linux file
[12:40] <zybil> can anyone give me a hint please?
[12:40] <jero> what i need to know is how to set linux so when i do a fresh boot into X and enter env in my terminal - LD_LIBRARY_PATH is present as i defined it
[12:40] <Woden> jrib:  I don't remember installing that package though!
[12:41] <Elly1> mrwes: I think it only wrote this at failed log in: "... check pass; user unknown". I dont see any trace of my password. I dont know if i dare search with the password itself with Ctrl+F though:P
[12:41] <jero> the fact that noone can give a straight answer to this just show how completely messed up linux is
[12:41] <jken146> jero, please don't flame
[12:41] <ubuntuteen> can any one say me what plugins should be enabled in anjuta
[12:41] <Woden> jrib:  How do I check to see if I installed that package before?
[12:41] <jrib> jero: I gave you a straight answer..  Can you wait patiently for a few minutes?
[12:42] <ubuntuteen> i am unable to run the program in anjuta so what pugin's should be enabled
[12:42] <nenadsuperzmaj> jero: with that kind of attitude you are hardly going to solve any problem
[12:43] <jrib> Woden: just check if libdvdcss2 is now installed
[12:43] <jero> i know i am not very charming, but i like to tell what i think
[12:43] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[12:43] <ubuntuteen> can any one say me what plugins should be enabled in anjuta. since i am unable to run or compile my program
[12:43] <ubuntuteen> can any one say me what plugins should be enabled in anjuta. since i am unable to run or compile my program
[12:43] <rohdef> is there a way to make pulse switch to my usb headset as the default device when I attach it?
[12:43] <jrib> jero: you also never answered my question
[12:44] <jken146> rohdef, system > preferences > sound...?
[12:44] <Hangwire> hi, can anyone here help me with an Urban Terror issue im having?
[12:44] <jero> jrib - probably because i missed it
[12:44] <ubuntuteen> can any one say me what plugins should be enabled in anjuta. since i am unable to run or compile my program
[12:44] <nenadsuperzmaj> ubuntuteen, what language are you working in. i know it's not much of an answer, but if it's C, you're better off with Netbeans IMO
[12:44] <jrib> jero: /etc/environment, but why would you need to do that...?
[12:44] <Hangwire> hi, can anyone here help me with an Urban Terror issue im having?
[12:44] <Woden> jrib:  You mean libdvdread3 ?
[12:45] <jrib> Woden: no
[12:45] <ubuntuteen> nenadsuperzmaj:i am working in c
[12:45] <rohdef> jken146, hmm I'm pretty sure I have checked the options there
[12:45] <ubuntuteen> nenadsuperzmaj: can i help me
[12:45] <Woden> jrib:  How do I check if libdvdcss2 is installed?
[12:45] <jero> jrib - first of all, i hate people asking "why would you want to do that" - secondly i answered it even though it is irrelevant to my original question. I want to do it because thats the only way drjava sees the library path when started from within my desktop
[12:45] <jero> by clicking drjava.exe
[12:45] <jrib> Woden: apt-cache policy libdvdcss2
[12:45] <jero> sorry
[12:45] <jero> drjava.jar
[12:46] <ubuntuteen> nenadsuperzmaj: the problem is that i am unable to see the bulid option in the toobar
[12:46] <PC_Nerd> how cna I abort a "sudo shutdown +5" when im at 3 minutes..... I am logged in through ssh ?
[12:46] <Woden> jrib:  Ok I guess it is installed
[12:46] <PC_Nerd> * I have an aptitude install that needs 4 minutes.. lol - mis timed it
[12:46] <ubuntuteen> nenadsuperzmaj:and when i unabled some pugins i was able to run but there is problem
[12:46] <jero> if i dont set the library path properly i cannot work with lwjgl in drjava
[12:46] <nenadsuperzmaj> ubuntuteen, try and get netbeans. there is a C only version which is pretty light (10-20 megs I think). I also had troubles with Anjuta, couldn't get it to compile and run programs, but Netbeans worked perfectly for me. You should try it...
[12:47] <ubuntuteen> nenadsuperzmaj: say me the command to get it plz
[12:47] <PC_Nerd> any ideas on the shutdown abort?
[12:47] <jrib> jero: seems like it would be a lot easier (and probably better) to just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the command for drjava.  Anyway, I just verified setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /etc/environment works fine
[12:47] <jken146> PC_Nerd, sudo shutdown -c
[12:47] <PC_Nerd> ty
[12:47] <ubuntuteen> pc_nerd: is it in windows or ubuntu
[12:47] <jero> jrib - did you autologin?
[12:48] <matteo> anyone can help me with the configuration of wmimput ir?? Thx alot, i have tried also to change the xorg but nothing changed :S
[12:48] <jrib> jero: no
[12:48] <PC_Nerd> ubuntu
[12:48] <jero> jrib - ....are you trolling me?
[12:48] <ubuntuteen> pc_nerd:i know in windowds
[12:48] <jrib> jero: I'll check that now, but you should just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the command you run to start dr java
[12:48] <rtz36251> jero: better create a shell wrapper with sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH for drjava, so you don't need to set it globally
[12:49] <ubuntuteen> nenadsuperzmaj: plz say me the command
[12:49] <PC_Nerd> that  worked... THANKS *wipes brow* lol
[12:49] <nenadsuperzmaj> ubuntuteen, I downloaded it directly from their website, but sudo apt-get install netbeans should do the trick
[12:49] <jrib> jero: and really, I could do without the attitude
[12:49] <jero> starting java from the comand line with java -jar drjava.jar resulted in getting a vmboxoutofmemory error or something similar i dont remember exactly
[12:49] <ubuntuteen> nenadsuperzmaj: are u sure that netbeans has c in it beause it is for java
[12:49] <jrib> jero: so how do you start it?
[12:49] <jero> which means i would have to research how to increase the memory of the jvm
[12:50] <jero> i start it directly by clicking on drjava.jar and tell it to be opened with sun java runtime
[12:50] <jero> which works
[12:50] <jrib> jero: readlink -f $(which java)
[12:50] <jero> i tried also with the -Xmx512m -Xms512m switches, but failed still
[12:51] <jero> not sure if those can be applied on a jar file in the first place
[12:51] <nenadsuperzmaj> ubuntuteen, do a search "netbeans" in your Add-Remove section and you'll se the info
[12:51] <ubuntuteen> any one know which plugins should be enabled in anjuta plz help i am a computer student and i want it plz
[12:52] <ubuntuteen> nenadsuperzmaj:ok fine thank u .but i am working for anjuta
[12:53] <jero> jrib - good call
[12:53] <jrib> !multijava | jero
[12:53] <jero> jrib - its set to gij-4.3
[12:53] <Crissi2> hello

[12:53] <Crissi2> where i can find openoffice 3.0.1-rc2 for ubuntu 8.10?
[12:53] <Crissi2> (hardy)
[12:53] <bakarat> hehe, guy at store said my disk drive was "fried" cause it wouldnt boot and wouldnt respond to windows boot cd :D
[12:53] <jrib> Crissi2: 8.04 is hardy.  8.10 is intrepid

[12:53] <bakarat> grub> setup(hd0)

[12:54] <Crissi2> i have
[12:54] <ubuntuteen> any ubuntu administrator is here
[12:54] <jrib> ubuntuteen: why?
[12:54] <ubuntuteen> plz any one know which plugins should be enabled so that anjuta can run properly
[12:54] <Crissi2> intrepid cant be used (no kde3 there)
[12:54] <ubuntuteen> jrib: say me which plugins should be enabled so that anjuta can run properly
[12:55] <ActionParsnip1> ubuntuteen: http://anjuta-maemo.garage.maemo.org/install.html
[12:55] <PC_Nerd> ok, ive just installed vsftpd however its not allowing me any write access at all.... any suggestions? (anonymous or user)... its definately running
[12:55] <ActionParsnip1> PC_Nerd: http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html
[12:55] <Crissi2> jrib: do you know where i can get 3.0.1rc2 for hardy?
[12:55] <PC_Nerd> ty
[12:56] <jrib> Crissi2: no, check bugs.ubuntu.com.  There was a bug and a ppa that could be used for testing iirc
[12:56] <jero> jrib++
[12:56] <jero> at least now i can run it of a shell with the paths sets
[12:57] <ubuntuteen> actionparsnipl:no that was for some paticular thing only
[12:57] <JackWinter> i just tried to install vmware server on my kubuntu 8.04.  installed fine, but my networking didn't work after the first reboot.  removed vmware and tried booting again, no change.  now when i boot the eth1 interface is up, but has no ip configured.  if i use the kde applet to down and then resstart it, then networking works again.  any idea where i should look ?
[12:57] <jero> which is actually even better, but i d still like to know how to set it straight globaly
[12:57] <Crissi2> jrib: ok.. 3.0.0 then?
[12:57] <jrib> jero: it's a bug with autologin, I'm looking for the bug
[12:57] <ubuntuteen> jrib:can u say which plugin's has to be enabled in anjuta to see the bulid option
[12:57] <jrib> Crissi2: same thing I said applies
[12:57] <jrib> ubuntuteen: sorry, I don't use anjuta
[12:58] <jrib> ubuntuteen: you probably just need build-essential installed
[12:58] <nenadsuperzmaj> i've set up compiz and emerald in gnome. but when i boot into KDE I'l like to use default setings for it ie no screenlets and no emerald. any way to separate setting and programs run automatically for Gnome and KDE? I thought I should have two separate scripts, but I have no idea how to write them or set them up to be executed on startup...
[12:58] <ubuntuteen> jrib: ok
[12:58] <ubuntuteen> jrib: what is that
[12:58] <jrib> ubuntuteen: it's a package.  Use system -> administration -> synaptic
[12:58] <rtz36251> !info build-essential
[12:58] <ubuntuteen> jrib : do u know any other ide for running c programs
[12:59] <pawan1> hi
[12:59] <jero> ubuntuteen - i used both, eclipse and netbeans succesfully
[12:59] <jrib> jero: if you set some random variable in /etc/environment, it will be sourced.  autologin just seems to change LD_LIBRARY_PATH for some reason
[12:59] <ubuntuteen> jero:ok then
[13:00] <ubuntuteen> jero: do u know those plugin in anjuta
[13:00] <Woden> jrib:  First DVD I try to play ends up in failure.  It's just sitting there at the "All rights reserved" screen
[13:01] <jrib> Woden: what player?
[13:01] <ubuntuteen> jero: do u know those plugin in anjuta
[13:01] <ActionParsnip1> nenadsuperzmaj: if you setup some autostart stuff its gonna run whatever DE you use
[13:01] <jero> ubuntuteen - eclipse and netbeans are full IDEs, not plugins. Not sure i got what you mean
[13:01] <Woden> jrib:  I put in the DVD and a box popped up "Open Movie Player".  I just clicked the ok button.
[13:01] <jero> ubuntuteen - at www.eclipse.org you can download the newest eclipse specifically for C coding
[13:02] <ubuntuteen> ok
[13:02] <jrib> jero: this is /probably/ the same issue: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/315591
[13:02] <ubuntuteen> thank u jero
[13:02] <jero> ubuntuteen - same goes for netbeans. there is a specific version solely for c - see what works easier for you
[13:02] <dayo> vim
[13:03] <nenadsuperzmaj> ActionParship1, Isn't there any was to do a simple IF...ELSE in order to determine which commands should be run depending on whick DE is being loaded?
[13:03] <ubuntuteen> ok jero . i am computer student and in our lab we are facing problem with that
[13:03] <Woden> jrib:  Totem Movie Player 2.24.3
[13:03] <ubuntuteen> jero:anjuta
[13:03] <jrib> Woden: try vlc
[13:04] <jero> ubuntuteen what is the problem you face with anjuta?
[13:04] <whitedox> My VLC is broken. Whenever I try playing anything, the audio is muted. Even if I unmute it, the audio still does not play. Other media players work fine. I have tried uninstalling completely and re-installing and it still is broken.
[13:04] <Woden> jrib:  I don't want to try vlc.  Why doesn't the default Ubuntu movie player work?
[13:04] <ubuntuteen> jero:are u administrator of ubuntu
[13:04] <ichat> probably a strange question - but -  has anyone encountered any problems burning the  9.10 desktop  32bit   iso/
[13:04] <dayo> whitedox: did u purge when u uninstalled completely?
[13:04] <syockit> whitedox: tried purging VLC first before reinstalling?
[13:04] <whitedox> How do you purge it? (Noob)
[13:05] <jrib> Woden: you just finished quoting me a page that links you to bugs about totem and dvd navigation
[13:05] <dayo> whitedox: sudo aptitude purge <packagename>
[13:05] <jero> ubuntuteen - far from it. I only start developing some java and a tiny amount of c
[13:05] <ubuntuteen> jero:some plugin's are not installed by default which making it hard to guess which pugin;s to use
[13:05] <whitedox> dayo, so I do that after uninstalling?
[13:05] <dayo> whitedox: no, u do that FOR uninstalling
[13:05] <whitedox> ok
[13:05] <dayo> whitedox: as opposed to just sudo aptitude remove
[13:05] <ubuntuteen> jero: i am 3rd year computer student
[13:05] <jero> ubuntuteen - the problem with IDEs for c is telling them where to look for libraries and which compiler /linker to use - once you figured that out, all is fine
[13:06] <dayo> whitedox: u do purge *instead of* remove
[13:06] <nenadsuperzmaj> Is there a way to do a simple IF...ELSE in order to determine which commands should be run depending on whick DE is being loaded?
[13:06] <codazoda> I finally took the plunge and upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10.  When I put my laptop (Averatec 5500) to sleep, it will not wake up.  Seems to kernel panic on wakeup (flashing lights).  Under CentOS I used "pm-suspend --quirk-vbe-post --quirk-vbemode-restore --quirk-s3-bios" but those don't work under Ibex.  Where can I find some troubleshooting steps?
[13:06] <syockit> why won't you people c++  instead?
[13:06] <ubuntuteen> ok then jero nice talking with u
[13:06] <ubuntuteen> jero:bye
[13:06] <ActionParsnip1> whitedox: sudo apt-get --purge remove vlc; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean
[13:06] <jero> see you
[13:06] <jrib> syockit: topic for a different channel
[13:07] <syockit> sorry
[13:07] <jero> syockit already doing java which is object oriented. i like the non-object orientation of c
[13:07] <ompaul> syockit, goto #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to know more about that in a general conversation
[13:08] <whitedox> dayo/ActionParsnipl, do I reinstall now after all that?
[13:08] <Woden> jrib:  Tried another DVD, it plays but there is no sound
[13:08] <dayo> whitedox: yes
[13:08] <jrib> Woden: in vlc?
[13:08] <Woden> jrib:  Totem
[13:09] <nenadsuperzmaj> Is there a way to do a simple IF...ELSE in order to determine which commands should be run depending on whick DE is being loaded?
[13:09] <jrib> nenadsuperzmaj: what kind of commands?
[13:10] <ActionParsnip1> nenadsuperzmaj: im sure there would be
[13:10] <codazoda> My laptop won't wake up from sleep after upgrading to Ibex.  Where should I look for a set of troubleshooting steps?
[13:11] <Woden> Where do I get information on vlc in ubuntu?
[13:11] <ichat> i got a problem buring the  ubuntu 8.10 desktop  x68 iso  -  when i mount it unter windows it seams to be ok,  but when i boot it  (after the emnu selection it gives a error  that it cant reed the boot disk... -
[13:11] <nenadsuperzmaj> Well, for example I want Screenlets to start only in Gnome. The same goes for Emerald...
[13:11] <whitedox> dayo, it is still broken
[13:12] <PC_Nerd> Ive dusabled the system beep and it works... however when i run a shutdown +5 command, it still beeps every 5 minutes.  Is there a way to disable it completely, without physically unplugging it etc?
[13:12] <ichat> i buned it about 10 times - from diferent pc's  (writers) -  i checket the iso's (md5) -
[13:13] <rtz36251> PC_Nerd: if it is the pc speaker beep, just blacklist the pcspkr module
[13:13] <ActionParsnip1> PC_Nerd: sudo rmmod pcspkr
[13:13] <dayo> whitedox
[13:13] <jrib> Woden: System -> Administration -> Synaptic, install vlc
[13:13] <dayo> hang on
[13:13] <whitedox> dayo ok
[13:13] <PC_Nerd> ive run that... but it still beeps on shutdown
[13:13] <ActionParsnip1> ichat: does the cd verify ok in the first boot screen on the cd?
[13:13] <ichat> nope...
[13:13] <JoJoNy> how to install ati catalyst on ATI Radeon 9600 (ubuntu 8.04)
[13:14] <ActionParsnip1> ichat: give that a go...what speed are you burning at?
[13:14] <ichat> because it sais - unable to reed from boot -
[13:14] <Woden> jrib:  Will that automatically work with all the codecs and commerical DVDs?
[13:14] <ichat> 2x
[13:14] <ActionParsnip1> ichat: good, slow is better
[13:14] <ichat> neither of the options work
[13:14] <jrib> Woden: I've found it's done the best with my DVDs
[13:14] <ActionParsnip1> ichat: is your bios set to boot from cd?
[13:14] <dayo> whitedox: in Settings-->Preferences is your audio enabled?
[13:14] <ichat> yes it is
[13:15] <Woden> jrib:  Crap vlc depends on qt4
[13:15] <jrib> Woden: and?
[13:15] <whitedox> dayo yes
[13:15] <ActionParsnip1> ichat: does it boot in a different pc?
[13:15] <axioein> I was wondering if someone could help me. After and update last night, my wireless stopped working, and the driver was no longer in the restricted driver dialog.
[13:15] <ActionParsnip1> Woden: use mplayer then :)
[13:15] <Woden> jrib:  I don't want QT on this system
[13:16] <ichat> i tried using nero 8 - and a some other tool - on two dif pc's
[13:16] <whitedox> dayo, it literally is muted. The volume icon has a circle with a line through it on it. If I unmute it, there is still no audio.
[13:16] <jrib> Woden: why?  Try xine or ogle I guess
[13:16] <ActionParsnip1> ichat: but does the cd boot in other systems?
[13:16] <jrib> whitedox: gxine*
[13:16] <jrib> Woden: gxine*
[13:16] <ichat> yes - but with the same error
[13:16] <dayo> whitedox: Audio-->Audio Track. check to see it isn't toggled to 'Disabled'
[13:17] <ActionParsnip1> axioein: try resetting it up as if it never worked. you may need to recompile the driver if you compiled it as you may have got a new kernel
[13:17] <ichat> i want to know -  is there any way to  check - the  Md5 of a burned cdrom
[13:17] <cvsproblems> :q
[13:17] <ActionParsnip1> ichat: hmm very strange
[13:17] <Woden> jrib:  I do not understand why Ubuntu can't get a default movie player that works with commerical DVDs?  Why are there all these other products that work, like vlc, mplayer, xine, etc, but totem-gstreamer does not?!?
[13:17] <cvsproblems> \quit
[13:17] <ActionParsnip1> ichat: sure you can md5 anything pretty much
[13:17] <dayo> Woden: i use kaffeine for DVD
[13:17] <ActionParsnip1> !dvd | Woden
[13:17] <jrib> Woden: lack of developer time?  Feel free to contribute
[13:18] <rtz36251> Woden: it's because of the content mafia. they don't want you to play your own dvds on free operating systems.
[13:18] <Woden> dayo:  What is kaffeine is that a KDE product?
[13:18] <whitedox> dayo, it is now working, however it still says it is muted, even though the audio is coming out
[13:18] <PC_Nerd> any ideas on disabling the systme beep on shut down... ive already disabled it from everything else but it seems that shutdown "broadcasts" are still beepable.
[13:18] <ActionParsnip1> !players
[13:18] <ichat> strangest is that i never had it before  -
[13:18] <mankash> Is there any way to crack winrar password?
[13:18] <dayo> Woden: i think it's a kde app. it's a media player
[13:19] <jrib> mankash: not here
[13:19] <ActionParsnip1> ichat: try a different brand of media, you may have a bad batch
[13:19] <dayo> whitedox: ok, we're getting closer
[13:19] <dayo> hang on
[13:19] <syockit> whitebox: which part says muted?
[13:19] <ActionParsnip1> If i have emails stored on a system in ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/r757df0s.default/Mail/pop.gmail.com
[13:20] <ActionParsnip1> is there an app that can allow access these via a web interface?
[13:20] <whitedox> syockit, in the gui when you start VLC. Like where it has the play buttons and such.
[13:20] <dayo> whitedox: View-->Messages
[13:20] <ichat> im thinking to ... - i may have one other  rw disk.. will try that one... if not  can any one help me setting stuf up to boot from an 8 gb  usb drive to install...

[13:22] <whitedox> dayo, er, something appeared in messaged
[13:22] <whitedox> messages*
[13:22] <syockit> I think vlc has seperate audio settings under its configuration, maybe you get to select your hardware there
[13:23] <whitedox> syockit, the thing is, the audio is working fine. Just VLC says it is muted, and earlier it really was muted. But it started working
[13:23] <dayo> whitedox: post it in paste.ubuntu.com so i can see
[13:23] <dayo> http://paste.ubuntu.com
[13:23] <whitedox> dayo ok

[13:25] <cemc> hi. i have some NTP problems on hardy. after it boots there are no peers, no synchronizing. at boot i see one NTP stop/start very early in the boot process, before the system clock
[13:25] <ichat> ?????
[13:25] <jero> jrib - how would you go about changing what env outputs to include LD_LIBRARY_PATH straight from the terminal?
[13:25] <jhirley> using ubuntu 8.10 intrepid, i am trying to get my windows mobile smartphone to to sync aka activesync with evolution , anyone have any pointers ?
[13:26] <ActionParsnip1> ichat: just complimenting on your factoid firing skills
[13:26] <ichat> tnx :P
[13:26] <jrib> jero: instead of running COMMAND, run:  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=FOO COMMAND
[13:26] <ActionParsnip1> jhirley: activesync is an ms app, you'll need an alternative in linux
[13:26] <reez> No AudioGeek here? Plz help me^^
[13:26] <dayo> whitedox: in line 9: main debug: audio output is starving (25055), playing silence
[13:26] <dayo> hmmm
[13:27] <jero> jrib - sorry, come again?
[13:27] <jero> jrib that was too high for me to understand what you meant
[13:27] <dayo> whitedox: are u trying to stream audio, or is it a file on disk?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip1> jhirley: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/what-pda-or-smartphones-will-sync-with-linux-696854/
[13:27] <whitedox> dayo, this is an audio stream.
[13:27] <whitedox> want me to run an mp3?
[13:27] <jero> if i simple set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in my shell, and even export it, then doing env in the shell wont have it added
[13:27] <dayo> whitedox: yes
[13:28] <jhirley> ty
[13:28] <jrib> jero: so if you're running "java -jar drjava.jar" now, run instead: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/whatever java -jar drjava.jar
[13:28] <jrib> jero: on the same line
[13:28] <jero> jrib - i did that
[13:28] <jero> oh, in the same line
[13:28] <jero> let me try that
[13:28] <smartguyz>  mhvhvvhvhvjvhvhv
[13:29] <whitedox> dayo http://paste.ubuntu.com/108959/
[13:29] <jero> jrib you are well versed with linux, but i how am i supposed to know all that? - it works btw
[13:29] <aLeSD> which is the package for asoundlib.h ?
[13:29] <jero> am i supposed to first become a linux admin before i can get to develope ?
[13:30] <ActionParsnip1> jero: no one user knows everything. but all users helping everyone else can solve any issue
[13:30] <ActionParsnip1> jero: you may advise jrib one day, who knows
[13:31] <tobias> hallo
[13:31] <reez> Ive a fresh installed Ubuntu8.10 and a Creative Audigy SE. MP3's and Systemsounds work....but my mic doesnt record anything. In the mixer its muted and i cant unmute. Also Sound under qutecom (sipclient) doesnt work . Can u help me?
[13:32] <dayo> whitedox: hang on
[13:32] <tobias> hallo kann mir jemand helfen??
[13:32] <jero> so what was different now by having all in the same line, rather than in two lines i had my script working?
[13:32] <jero> i still dont get why this actually worked
[13:32] <reez> tobias: Deutscher Support im Channel #ubuntu-de
[13:33] <dayo> !de | tobias
[13:33] <ichat> lol i love my gf  - she fount me a dvd-RW  disk lol -  at least i wont toast it  if it failes
[13:34] <jrib> jero: by asking a support channel or reading some docs :)
[13:34] <AndyR> lo all
[13:35] <ActionParsnip1> reez: can you give the lspci line for the card please
[13:35] <jero> i wouldnt know which docs to read and even if, i cannot read all docs for every problem because then i end up not developing at all. anyway, you were very valuable in providing help
[13:36] <holyguyver> one of my harddrive's file structer was destroyed, is there any tool I can use to repair it?
[13:36] <holyguyver> I think all it needs to do is reindex itself.
[13:36] <reez> ActionParsnipl: 04:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS
[13:36] <ActionParsnip1> !recover | holyguyver
[13:36] <jero> but i think this needs to get worked on - setting variables in windows like that is as simple as right clicking computers and then set environment variables
[13:37] <jero> in OSX i got drjava to work just as easy
[13:37] <ActionParsnip1> reez: ok, do you have an onboard soundcard as well as the Creative Labs SB Audigy LS?
[13:37] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, thank you
[13:37] <chucknorris> hey guys
[13:38] <reez> ActionParsnipl: Yes but i disabled it in the bios.
[13:38] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: you should have a backup
[13:38] <ActionParsnip1> reez: if you tab complete names its better ;)
[13:38] <grub_booter> jero: 'simple as right clicking and setting' .. and then restarting anything which needs the env var modification, right?
[13:38] <emma> I've played around with some other distros, and I must say, Ubuntu really is satisfying in comparison.
[13:38] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, I do have a backup ;) but I want to get the harddrive back into a working function ;)
[13:38] <reez> ActionParsnip1, ah ok^
[13:39] <jero> grub_booter - yep
[13:39] <rohdef> how do I make a simple alertbox with some text in ubuntu?

[13:39] <rohdef> (bash script or something alike)
[13:40] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: just format the disk and fsck it to make sure its ok
[13:40] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, this harddrive broke over a year ago, I took the backedup data & put it on a different harddrive & have been using that for a year, but now I want to get the old harddrive back into a working order :)
[13:40] <chucknorris> I have been trying to enable internet connection sharing on my Ubuntu Hardy since morning, so far it's been a total fail. Have been fiddling with Firestarter (install/uninstall more than 10 times!). My laptop (192.168.0.2) can ping the Ubuntu (192.168.0.1) but sharing still fails. Any help?
[13:40] <triplc> what do I miss in X minimum environment? I install ubuntu 8.10 alternate without X, then I install xserver-xorg-core, then a terminal emulator+xinit; then i run "xinit". I see the X display but cannot move the mouse and cannot type anything in that X.
[13:40] <drpc> can anyone help me about how can I mount a ntfs partition for read and write
[13:40] <jero> emma - yep, ubuntu comes very close to what i consider a perfect desktop OS

[13:41] <emma> jero: yeah it's doing very well. Trying out some other distros for the fun of it, and then returning to ubuntu feels really nice.
[13:41] <ActionParsnip1> triplc: you need xserver-xorg-input-mouse

[13:44] <emma> jero: -- Yeah and Debian has those things as well, but I really like the Ubuntu repos by and large, everything a person wants is there, and it's not too old. Ubuntu just has so many of the trivial but annoying things about linux smoothed out and ready to go.
[13:44] <perfeCt> excusme.

[13:47] <needhelp> Hello, can anyone give me advice in buying a new motherboard? I am thinking of buying a motherboard and CPU, either AMD Athlon 64 or Phenom. I don't know the differences. Here are a couple of motherboards: http://www.komplett.no/k/kl.aspx?bn=10112
[13:48] <ActionParsnip1> reez: if you run alsaconf can you unmute it there
[13:48] <jero> jack sparrow having some feedback on what people like on ubuntu might actually help support - its not like we were talking about socks
[13:48] <triplc> what do I miss in X minimum environment? I install ubuntu 8.10 alternate without X, then I install xserver-xorg-core, then a terminal emulator+xinit; then i run "xinit". I see the X display but cannot move the mouse and cannot type anything in that X.
[13:48] <Andre_H> how to say a ubuntu hardy cd to install it like a xubuntu
[13:48] <Andre_H> ???
[13:49] <Jack_Sparrow> jero And you are not talking about specific support questions.. emma knows this..
[13:49] <triplc> I run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org and see that there is no mouse, keyboard in xorg.conf
[13:49] <reez> ActionParsnip1, alsaconf  bash: alsaconf: command not found
[13:49] <pere_> Hello everyone, I'm having several problems on my ubuntu, and I need help, the first is that whin I try to update it tells me that dpkg was interrupted that I have to manually run, I when I try to it sad that I need "speruser permition"
[13:49] <triplc> what i should do so that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg can INCLUDE mouse and keyboard?
[13:49] <rtz36251> triplc: i guess you need to install hal. as of ubuntu 8.10, xorg takes its input events from hal.
[13:50] <ActionParsnip1> reez: try apt-getting it
[13:50] <triplc> rtz36251: ok, let me install "hal"
[13:50] <needhelp> pere_: use sudo to run it as superuser
[13:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Andre_H Let it do a regular install and then install the wm you want.. sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop   or ubuntu-desktop and then switch between them at login or remove the one you dont want
[13:50] <TWTNW> hi
[13:51] <The_Joe_> Is there a package that contains the xvid4 codec?
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptfix
[13:51] <ActionParsnip1> pere_: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[13:51] <reez> ActionParsnip1,  sudo apt-get install alsaconf  ---->  couldnt find package
[13:51] <TWTNW> how do I move the applications' menu  on the upper panel?
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip1 It may be telling him to ..-a    to fix apt
[13:51] <ActionParsnip1> The_Joe_: apt-cache search xvid4
[13:51] <ichat> its booting :P
[13:51] <Andre_H> Jack_Sparrow: i hope it will work, because i have just 256MB Ram at 800MHz
[13:52] <The_Joe_> Ah
[13:52] <The_Joe_> Would have been nice if you just told me but yeah
[13:52] <The_Joe_> k
[13:52] <ActionParsnip1> Jack_Sparrow: possibly, lets see what happens
[13:52] <TWTNW> please....
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Andre_H YEs it should just squeek into your box then change to x or even fluxbox to get something lighter on your cpu
[13:52] <ichat> jack - wouldn't it be wiser than to try the XFE desktop
[13:52] <reez> ActionParsnip1, http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?04266a9c48.jpg
[13:53] <triplc> rtz36251: ok, thanks, after "hal" installed, it works as expected
[13:53] <pere_> ok! I will try, a moment...
[13:53] <Jack_Sparrow> ichat That is what he wanted, and I was giving him exapmles of how to do it
[13:53] <ActionParsnip1> reez: can you click obn the mic pic?
[13:54] <Jack_Sparrow> ichat If all he has is the gnome wm install he has to start with that then change
[13:54] <Andre_H> yes, thats what i will
[13:54] <Andre_H> do
[13:54] <pacol> hi
[13:54] <jero> Jack_Sparrow - fine, but i ll come back to remind you on that should you ever retreat to not exactly posing or answering support questions in here in a robotic fashion
[13:54] <reez> ActionParsnip1, yes i can unmute with the Button but when i close an open it again its muted. I cant aptget alsaconf..
[13:54] <Andre_H> i also can install the xubuntu-desktop package out of console
[13:54] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, I was just reading that page, & nothing on their seemed to have been just for rebuilding file system struction, did I overlook something?
[13:54] <ichat> Jack_Sparrow:  - ok i c :P
[13:54] <ActionParsnip1> reez: maybe try using gksudo to run that app
[13:55] <rtz36251> Andre_H: on a 800mhz/256mb machine i'd go for fluxbox, not xfce
[13:55] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: it just helps you to get the data off, so you can format then write the data back
[13:55] <matreya6> My kernel seems to run on 100% CPU most of the time. Even in runlevel 3. I'm using Hardy 32Bit on an Athlon XP2600+ with 1GB of memory
[13:55] <Jack_Sparrow> jero Feel free to review our logs and go to #Ubuntu-ops to discuss it
[13:55] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: foremost is pretty decent
[13:55] <masterof14> can someone help me instaling nvidia drivers?
[13:55] <ActionParsnip1> !nvidia | masterof14
[13:55] <isr`> i have a question, im taking a large scale development class this semester, and we have to use ubuntu as a dev environment, i already set up an ubuntu 8.04 LTS dev environment, but i was wondering if i should have gone with 8.10 instead, any reason to use 8.10 over 8.04 LTS?
[13:55] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, I do not want to get the data off.
[13:55] <reez> ActionParsnip1, no...i cant. Should i try to reinstall ubuntu?
[13:56] <jero> jack_sparrow - no, if its such a strict channel, i understand it...
[13:56] <needhelp> Hello, can anyone give me advice in buying a new motherboard? I am thinking of buying a motherboard and CPU, either AMD Athlon 64 or Phenom. I don't know the differences. Here are a couple of motherboards: http://www.komplett.no/k/kl.aspx?bn=10112
[13:56] <ActionParsnip1> reez: i wouldnt
[13:56] <Jack_Sparrow> jero all the others are much more relaxed.
[13:56] <ActionParsnip1> reez: your call dude, theres a small tweak you need, just finding it is a pain
[13:56] <isr`> anyone? ^^
[13:56] <ActionParsnip1> reez: if you run the alsamixer with gksudo does it let you unmute
[13:57] <Jack_Sparrow> needhelp You can review our supported hardware page..
[13:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware
[13:57] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, I want to leave the data where it is & simply have the harddrive recognize that it is there. if I type in the exact folder names it comes up, but if I do noy then it does not show up, like as if the folders are hidden, yet if I salect to show hidden folders, nothing shows up.
[13:57] <ActionParsnip1> isr`: if 8.10 works for you its fine, you will need to upgrade to Jaunty when its released to get updates
[13:57] <pere_> ActionParsnip: happens the same: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a to correct the problem'
[13:57] <matreya6> isr`, what hardware do you intend to use for that class?
[13:57] <isr`> ActionParsnip1: i have 8.04 LTS at the moment
[13:57] <pacol> ok im back
[13:58] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: unless you can write the FAT manually i dont think its possible
[13:58] <isr`> matreya, im using an ubuntu VM
[13:58] <ActionParsnip1> isr`: if it aint broke, don't fix it
[13:58] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, FAT?
[13:58] <isr`> ActionParsnip1: sounds good.
[13:58] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: file allocation table
[13:58] <adam1> hey all, does anyone know of an irc channel for prestashop users?
[13:58] <reez> ActionParsnip1, xD...gksudo alsamixer shows me only ONE Line...Master. I cant tabswitch to Capture and All...
[13:58] <matreya6> isr`, that's good advice from ActionParsnip1
[13:58] <ActionParsnip1> reez: bah
[13:58] <FreeGels> hello, where can I find a good linux manual for begginers?? please pvt-me
[13:58] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, might there be programs that can do that?
[13:58] <isr`> thats what i thought, but i didnt know if there was some really good reason to use 8.10 instead
[13:59] <ActionParsnip1> matreya6: you'd be suprised the folks who don't adhere. like kernel upgrades etc
[13:59] <isr`> guess not though, thanks
[13:59] <reez> ActionParsnip1, jap^
[13:59] <FreeGels> hello, where can I find a good linux manual for begginers?? please pvt-me
[13:59] <ActionParsnip1> reez: you could compile alsa maybe
[13:59] <atomekk> Hello does somebody maybe has problem with shutdown/reboot (ATI card) i need to click ctrl+alt+del on shutdown or reboot (seems like X server hangs or something ) :/
[13:59] <pere_> now I done it!!
[13:59] <ActionParsnip1> FreeGels: man <program name>
[13:59] <pere_> using sudo ! thanks!
[13:59] <reez> ActionParsnip1, omg..im a linux beginner
[13:59] <ActionParsnip1> pere_: you need sudo for admin tasks, makes ubuntu more secure
[14:00] <garren> hi, can I download the ubuntu version for netbooks or does it only come pre installed with certain netbooks?
[14:00] <ActionParsnip1> reez: theres guides on it
[14:00] <isr`> reez, luckily its easy to be a linux noob
[14:00] <ActionParsnip1> reez: unless you try harder stuff you will always be a beginner, get your hands dirty dude :)
[14:00] <isr`> google your question, and thousands of answers are at your finger tips
[14:00] <reez> hmm ok...thx a lot for first. Do you think its a alsa or pulsA problem?
[14:01] <Jack_Sparrow> FreeGels http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid
[14:01] <reez> ActionParsnip1, yeah i will...yesterday i installed vmware server *proud* xD
[14:01] <M3TAPHYS1CS> guys im having problems dual booting windows..i recovered grub but now i cannot boot into windows7 at all
[14:01] <matreya6> ActionParsnip1, about those kernel upgrades... I´m running the latest official Hardy Kernel on an Athlon XP2600+, using 1 GB of memory. My top shows no cpu-time grubbers, but my system monitor ostly shows 100% CPU. This is valid even in runlevel 3, without X
[14:01] <pere_> ok! next problem my amarok starts always with the same track list and the window in wrong position, normally it keeps the last, but now not what could it be?
[14:01] <nightrid3r> needhelp: better ask in #ubuntu-no , they kan read the webpage
[14:01] <ActionParsnip1> reez: wtg
[14:02] <ActionParsnip1> matreya6: run top to see whats chewing your cpu
[14:02] <matreya6> ActionParsnip1, repeat: My top shows no cpu-time grubbers
[14:02] <adam1> hey all, this is not strictly a linux problem but I am looking for support for the ecommerce platform prestashop.  does anyone have any experience of using this, or perhaps know of an IRC channel about it where I could find support.  I have searched google etc and found nothing.  I know you're a knowledgable lot so I thought I'd try here.  anyone know of anything?
[14:02] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, Here is the full story of what happened, slightly over a year ago I dropped my harddrive from 4 feet. I spent 2,600$ to get the data transfered from that to a working one, & it worked great. & I have been using the working one. Now I am thinking about using the old one too, & I got it to mount, & all of the data that was on it that is also on the new one is still on it, I would like to not delete that copy as it is yet an
[14:02] <holyguyver> other copy of the data, yet do to the fall it lost track of where on the drive the files are located, but if I enter their location manually they show up, & Konqueror can find their location perfectly fine, but the gnome Natalious(sp?) cannot.
[14:03] <raboof> I loaded the alsa virmidi ('modprobe snd_virmidi'). the virtual midi devices show up fine, but no midi events seem to get though
[14:03] <needhelp> nightrid3r: okay, but any recommendations or what to stay away from, would be nice. How about Asus? DFI? Gigabyte?MSI? XFX? And should I choose Athlon 64 or Phenom ?
[14:03] <reez> ActionParsnip1, jap but i want to do funny thinks like installing a webserver...asterisk etc and dont want to waste my time with audio probs^^ but ok...wtg as you said
[14:03] <Ean> Hi I just played around with Arch. But unfortunately Arch's grub didn't want to recognize my existing ubuntu and Windows systems. Now I can't start Windows. My menu.lst: http://pastebin.com/m47cf0a5f
[14:03] <raboof> i connected a vkeybd to one end and a kmidimon to the other, but the events don't show up in kmidimon
[14:03] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: 1Tb hard drive is cheaper than that.
[14:03] <raboof> any ideas what could be wrong?
[14:03] <nightrid3r> needhelp: i would go for an msi/phenon
[14:04] <Jack_Sparrow> needhelp I use MSI and Gigabyte and a few Asus
[14:04] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, that money I spent last year was not for the harddrive, it was for the recovery.
[14:04] <perlsyntax> where can i find emacs 23.1?
[14:04] <needhelp> Jack_Sparrow: big diff between those three?
[14:04] <pere__> and my worst problem is that my evolution is not fetching any mail, like a month ago, it used to be ok, and now only get some mails, everything seems to be right in config, but doesn't work help plese!!
[14:04] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: why didnt you have a backup if the data is worth 2600 to you?
[14:04] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: you could hdparm the drive to maybe use it
[14:05] <danbhfive> adam1: try the forum
[14:05] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, I did not have a backup at that time because I was stupid, but I have backups now :p
[14:05] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: you learned the hardest way possible
[14:05] <n8tuser> good you have backups now
[14:05] <isr`> indeed
[14:05] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: how big is the drive?
[14:05] <adam1> danbhfive: the prestashop forum?  i have tried there and haven't found answer to my question
[14:05] <Jack_Sparrow> needhelp this is not the best place to discuss what you want to buy .. But I mostly use MSI because they are cheap.. The last two I got were $29 each and work great
[14:06] <danbhfive> adam1: did you ask your question there?
[14:06] <ActionParsnip1> Jack_Sparrow: they have that handy web update thing in windows too :)
[14:06] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip1 yes
[14:06] <ActionParsnip1> Jack_Sparrow: if you want cheap, buy asrock :-$
[14:06] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, the old drive which was destroyed in which now I am trying to access & repair is 500GB, the new one that my old data was transfered to by the recovery place is 1TB in which that at the time made up 200$ of the 2,600$ recovery.
[14:06] <albuntu> hello to all
[14:07] <Ean> Hi I just played around with Arch. But unfortunately Arch's grub didn't want to recognize my existing ubuntu and Windows systems. Now I can't start Windows, but I foundout how to start Ubuntu My menu.lst: http://pastebin.com/m47cf0a5f
[14:07] <albuntu> can anyone tell me where is my ssh password saved ?
[14:07] <isr`> /etc/passwd
[14:07] <needhelp> Jack_Sparrow: okay. Then any other channels to discuss it?
[14:07] <Jack_Sparrow> holyguyver If it was seagate. they are offering free recovery on many of their defective drives
[14:07] <ActionParsnip1> holyguyver: considering its been dropped and your data is important. I wouldnt trustit personally
[14:07] <Jack_Sparrow> needhelp hardware or offtopic..
[14:07] <albuntu> isr`: you said that to me ?
[14:08] <isr`> albuntu: yes, but it could be /etc/shadow also
[14:08] <iFreddie[BOT]> help
[14:08] <matreya6> ActionParsnip1, I do get a ata-error's (timeouts and HSM violations when my CPU maxes out). Still, I can read from my HDD without problems and the SMART status is clear
[14:08] <adam1> danbhfive: im posting a question at the moment.  i've also emailed them.  it would be better for me to find some sort of real-time help though because i'd like a quick response and also will probably have follow-up questions once i solve current problem
[14:08] <albuntu> isr`: thanks :)
[14:08] <isr`> albuntu, /etc/passwd holds users, /etc/shadow holds encrypted passwords
[14:08] <n8tuser> isr` nope ..wrong advise
[14:08] <Jack_Sparrow> iFreddie[BOT] Ask your question all on one line and repeat every few minutes as needed
[14:08] <iFreddie[BOT]> help
[14:08] <isr`> n8tuser: ?
[14:08] <holyguyver> ActionParsnip1, as said though I have backups of all of the dropped data now though thanks to that 2600$ :p
[14:09] <pere__> any idea about why my evolution is not working?
[14:09] <n8tuser> isr` ssh password dont go there
[14:09] <albuntu> n8tuser: isnt it stored there ?
[14:09] <n8tuser> albuntu nope
[14:09] <albuntu> n8tuser: ok where is it ?
[14:09] <isr`> what exactly do you mean by ssh passwords albuntu
[14:09] <Jack_Sparrow> iFreddie[BOT] I muted you. Please PM me if you are not a bot.. else I will remove in a more perm fashion
[14:10] <albuntu> i mean the root password to login as root using ssh
[14:10] <lstarnes> Jack_Sparrow: he parted the channel
[14:10] <mneisen> Hi folks. I am in the process of upgrading a server running hardy to intrepid using do-release-upgrade. Unfortunately, do-release-upgrade tells me that there is no new release found ... Does someone know why this is? Do I have to prepare the apt-sources (so they point to the intrepid repositories) before invoking do-release-upgrade? Thanks in advance!
[14:10] <Jack_Sparrow> albuntu You are not going to find that in a text based file
[14:10] <ActionParsnip1> albuntu: i'd strongly suggest NOT sshing as root
[14:10] <isr`> albuntu: root isn't used in ubuntu
[14:10] <n8tuser> albuntu if i know i would tell you
[14:10] <Jack_Sparrow> lstarnes Yep saw that
[14:10] <isr`> n8tuser: when a user logs in via ssh, it checks the password from /etc/shadow
[14:10] <ActionParsnip1> isr`: it can be but its not necessary in any way
[14:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !upgrade
[14:11] <isr`> ActionParsnip1: yeah, i like sudo more
[14:11] <lstarnes> Jack_Sparrow: he isn't a bot.  He asked a question in #freenode then was directed here
[14:11] <albuntu> ok thanks to all anyways :)
[14:11] <ActionParsnip1> isr`: its more secure
[14:11] <n8tuser> isr` -> depends on how it is configured, different mechanism to authenticate
[14:11] <Jack_Sparrow> lstarnes He was also just repeating help every few seconds and ignored me when I asked him to ask his question
[14:12] <n8tuser> mneisen -> are you sure you want to upgrade to 8.10? you may want to read up on it, or hang around here for a few days
[14:12] <mneisen> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for the pointer!
[14:12] <Jack_Sparrow> mneisen np
[14:12] <ActionParsnip1> mneisen: if 8.04 is working for you, you have very little reason to upgrade
[14:12] <albuntu> i was just trying. i am not using it as a live system. i just want to play and test in a virtual install so there is no problem
[14:12] <Jack_Sparrow> ActionParsnip1 agreed
[14:12] <mneisen> n8tuser: Well, I have some other boxen running 8.10, and I want them all at the same level.
[14:13] <mneisen> n8tuser: Is there something wrong with intrepid on a server?
[14:13] <isr`> ActionParsnip1: one thing i was wondering, it looks like 8.04 LTS doesnt come with sshd by default
[14:13] <albuntu> what about the ftpd? does it get passwords from /etc/passwd ?
[14:13] <Lukasz> Hey
[14:13] <ActionParsnip1> isr`: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[14:13] <isr`> not that i need it, but it was interesting to me that it didnt
[14:13] <n8tuser> mneisen -> i'd like you to read up on it, and also observe the complaints people have here..
[14:13] <ActionParsnip1> isr`: i ddint know intrepid did as not all users would need it
[14:13] <isr`> yea
[14:14] <isr`> since i'm just running this in vmware player there is really no point anyway
[14:14] <mneisen> n8tuser: OK, any pointers to possible show-stoppers? I'd appreciate!
[14:14] <Lukasz> When I delete a user account is the entire home folder deleted too?
[14:14] <isr`> dont need scp since i have vmware tools installed... ie: i can drag and drop files from host to guest
[14:14] <isr`> Lukasz: it depends
[14:14] <johan12> anyone know about LXDE?
[14:14] <n8tuser> mneisen -> id really like you to hang around and form your opinion, am not going to stop you from upgrading though, just a heads up
[14:15] <isr`> Lukasz: man deluser
[14:15] <mneisen> OK, thanks for cautioning me ... :-D
[14:15] <oCean_> I can not get an external monitor (tv) to work. When I choose a resolution for that monitor, it's the (default) laptop monitor that gets adjusted, and tv still says 'no signal'. I think it's my xorg.conf?
[14:15] <isr`> i think you'd want --remove-home
[14:15] <ActionParsnip1> !lxde
[14:15] <ActionParsnip1> !info lxde
[14:15] <nightrid3r> i want to install ebox but cant cos libapache-authcookie-perl  is not installable
[14:15] <n8tuser> mneisen -> just in general, complaints about sounds, X, and networking to start off
[14:16] <iFreddie[BOT]> k
[14:16] <ActionParsnip1> oCean_: what vieo card?
[14:16] <oCean_> intel
[14:16] <isr`> Lukasz: if you want to delete every file owned by the user on the filesystem --remove-all-files
[14:16] <johan12> tried LXDE but don't know how to get the network manager to show up :S
[14:16] <ActionParsnip1> johan12: i use fluxbox, ive seen a few folks in here mention lxde
[14:16] <mneisen> n8tuser: OK, I do not need sound or X (headless server), and the networking stuff works fine on the other machines.
[14:16] <iFreddie[BOT]> i wont it updateing becuse the screnn res is rubush
[14:16] <ActionParsnip1> johan12: launch it from the terminal
[14:16] <nightrid3r> !ebox
[14:16] <mneisen> I think I just give it a try. I can always go back to 8.04 (thanks to the wonders of backups ... :-D).
[14:16] <johan12> which command?
[14:17] <oCean_> my xorg.conf is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/108978/
[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !res
[14:17] <ActionParsnip1> johan12: not sure, check in your menus what command is launched when you run the app and launch the same app in lxde
[14:17] <Travis-42> how do I turn on nvidia's sli?  I don't see it in the nvidia X server settings program
[14:17] <iFreddie[BOT]> k 2 4
[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Travis-42 Not supported
[14:17] <johan12> should i use gnome network manager or lx network manager?
[14:17] <Lukasz> isr`, No, I don't. I was asking of Ubuntu default behaviour in this case
[14:18] <Travis-42> Jack_Sparrow: ah ok, thank you
[14:18] <isr`> Lukasz: default is to not remove home directory
[14:18] <ActionParsnip1> johan12: either, as long as you have gtk, both will run
[14:18] <isr`> Lukasz: RTFM
[14:18] <Lukasz> isr`, Thanks
[14:18] <oCean_> Jack_Sparrow: yes, i used that link before.. however it just does not "go to" the external monitor.
[14:19] <isr`> Lukasz: np
[14:19] <Jack_Sparrow> oCean_ SOme laptops do not support running as dual
[14:19] <isr`> man deluser reveals wonderful things to those willing to read
[14:19] <isr`> :-P
[14:19] <Jack_Sparrow> isr` Much better thanks
[14:20] <isr`> Jack_Sparrow: ?
[14:20] <mib_tj0sya> hai just to clear a doubt.. isn't it possible to install from a live cd without the live session(i.e. just with the console ncurses installer?)
[14:20] <isr`> Jack_Sparrow: what is much better?
[14:21] <mib_tj0sya> in 8.10 ubuntu i mean..
[14:21] <Jack_Sparrow> isr` See pm
[14:21] <fdr> hi! is this the right channel to ask for help with a netboot install?
[14:22] <jrib> fdr: of ubuntu, sure
[14:22] <fdr> yup :)
[14:22] <ActionParsnip1> mib_tj0sya: you can do a text install
[14:22] <fdr> well, I set up a DHCP and TFTP server with the netboot image
[14:22] <mib_tj0sya> ActionParsnip1: yeah from the menu seen as we boot from the live cd right?
[14:23] <Nave_> how do i join general chat
[14:23] <fdr> now, after the PXE client fetches pxelinux.cfg/default, the screen on the laptop goes blank and nothing happens
[14:23] <fdr> any suggestions for troubleshooting please?

[14:23] <Rencx> I have problem with sound in RuneScape how can i fix it? i have removed Pulseaudio for skype..
[14:23]  * oCean_ not giving in .. this *will* work :)
[14:23] <ActionParsnip1> mib_tj0sya: yeah, just read the screen. You could always use the minimal cd and install from the web in a text environment
[14:24] <ActionParsnip1> mib_tj0sya: its what i always use
[14:24] <raboof> anyone aware of good tools for benchmarking USB latency?
[14:24] <Lukasz> I'd like to install fluxbuntu instead of Ubuntu (My machine isn't making it anymore). How can i do that not to mess with Ubuntu?
[14:25] <mib_tj0sya> ActionParsnip1: okay.. whats the formal name for it? text install? am not getting results though am searching a lill bit around it..
[14:25] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[14:25] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: log of,, change session to fluxbox, log in
[14:25] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, Already done
[14:25] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: you dont have to installa whole new distro
[14:25] <n8tuser> Lukasz -> i dont know if  tasksel have a fluxbuntu-desktop
[14:25] <Owner> guys, how can i install LIBXSLT? when i try to apt-get it it says that the package cannot be found?
[14:26] <ActionParsnip1> n8tuser: its not in repos
[14:26] <n8tuser> ActionParsnip1 -> oh okay
[14:26] <ActionParsnip1> Owner: apt-cache search libxslt
[14:26] <lstarnes> Owner: try libxslt1.1 and libxslt1-dev
[14:26] <Rencx> I have problem with sound in RuneScape how can i fix it? i have removed Pulseaudio for skype..
[14:27] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, I installed fluxbox already, but it's a little bit mess up: shows up all the OS commands in the menu. What I wanted to do was, install a complete Ubuntu-based fluxbox distro and than delete ubuntu
[14:27] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: how do you mean "shows OS commands in menu"
[14:27] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: there will be gnome apps in your fluxbox menu
[14:28] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: you can then use apt-get to uninstall any apps / stuff you dont need
[14:28] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, That's the problem: There is a whole bunch of them
[14:28] <mib_tj0sya> ActionParsnip1: thanks and bye.
[14:29] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: well if your /home is on a seperate partition you can just delete /swp and / in the fluxbuntu installer and then edit fstab to mount /home
[14:29] <Rencx> I have problem with sound in RuneScape how can i fix it? i have removed Pulseaudio for skype..
[14:29] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: but you'll need to reinstall what you need
[14:29] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, I meant, the menu shows up some commands and apps which usually are hidden from the user, that's all.
[14:30] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: then you need to edit the menu. its stored in ~/.fluxbox/menu
[14:30] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, All right. So, you wouldn't rather recommend me to install the entire distro?
[14:30] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: it references another in /usr/share which I'd suggest you copy over your own menu file so you can keep control, but new apps won't get added
[14:30] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: its an option
[14:30] <Lukasz> Ok
[14:31] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: but modifying the menu is siple
[14:31] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, Thank you
[14:31] <ActionParsnip1> *simple
[14:32] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, Do you know by chance how to set the default new icons size?
[14:32] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, Probably, it's hidden  somewhere in gconf
[14:33] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, Just hoped in an good shot :)
[14:33] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: icon size, where
[14:33] <ActionParsnip1> which icons?
[14:33] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, Everywhere
[14:33] <Lukasz> ActionParsnip1, Folders, files ones
[14:34] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: thatd be he setting for your file manager, if you use nautilus, its whatever setting you use for that
[14:34] <aLeSD> how could I install  linux-image-2.6.24-19-rt on 8.10 ?
[14:34] <aLeSD> I can't find it in the repo
[14:34] <ActionParsnip1> Lukasz: i use flux + kde so dolphon settings are handled in the standard kde fashion
[14:35]  * Lukasz is going to switch to flux too
[14:36] <ActionParsnip1> aLeSD: try apt-cache search image | grep 2.6.24
[14:36] <Rencx> I have problem with sound in RuneScape how can i fix it? i have removed Pulseaudio for skype..
[14:36] <matreya6> Does anyone know how to troubleshoot HSM violations and freezes on  my ATA drive occuring since the latest Hardy Kernel? I never had any problems on 8.04 wth that.
[14:36] <aLeSD> ActionParsnip1: nothing
[14:36] <ActionParsnip1> aLeSD: are you on intrepid?
[14:37] <kantlivelong> anyone know why my Atheros AR5008 doesnt work with NetworkManager but works fine manually? It shows up but fails to connect.
[14:38] <ActionParsnip1> kantlivelong: try wifi-radar
[14:38] <karamazov> hello
[14:38] <karamazov> i can't login with username root
[14:38] <karamazov> what can i do?
[14:38] <ActionParsnip1> !root | karamazov
[14:38] <aLeSD> ActionParsnip1 yes
[14:38] <Lukasz> Well, another question : I can't wait to find a quick way top switch between spare and browse mode in Nautilus..
[14:38] <kantlivelong> ActionParsnip1: id rather try fixing it first.
[14:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo > karamazov
[14:38] <ActionParsnip1> aLeSD: 2.6.24 is a hardy kernel
[14:38] <mustangg> greets..    Been trying to fix this flicker I get between the window and the desktop when playing video, and (gl?)games such as flightgear. The thing is, I don't see it in warsow.    Anyone have some ideas?
[14:38] <aLeSD> ActionParsnip1: I know
[14:39] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: you dont log on as root, use sudo and gksudo when you need admin powers
[14:39] <Jack_Sparrow> mustangg Turn off compiz effects, especially if it ATI video card
[14:39] <aLeSD> ActionParsnip1: you mean that I can't install an old kernel ?
[14:39] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: you shouldnt log on as root even if the account was available, its HUGLEY insecure
[14:39] <karamazov> i need to automatize the back-up action
[14:39] <ActionParsnip1> aLeSD: you could add backports
[14:39] <ActionParsnip1> !backup | karamazov
[14:40] <karamazov> ok :D
[14:40] <karamazov> that's good
[14:40] <aLeSD> ActionParsnip1: in sw source ?
[14:40] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: forget about root, it doesnt exist
[14:40] <karamazov> ok
[14:40] <aLeSD> sudo su
[14:40] <Jack_Sparrow> aLeSD Bad idea
[14:40] <ActionParsnip1> aLeSD: sudo -i is advised
[14:40] <aLeSD> lol
[14:40] <paul68> Hi I have conky running and I have the wifi connection on eth1 however when i ask for the ssid for eth1 it isn't returning any data any Ideas to solve this?
[14:40] <Jack_Sparrow> aLeSD Instead of Sudo SU...  Please use sudo -i it properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell.
[14:41] <aLeSD> ok
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> ty
[14:41] <maxbaldwin> so what does 'sudo su -' do compared to 'sudo su'
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> max Instead of Sudo SU...  Please use sudo -i it properly sets up the environment variable in the resulting shell.
[14:41] <sYildirim> how can I extract tgz archieve files?
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !zip
[14:42] <raboof> maxbaldwin: it resets the environment variables iirc
[14:42] <maxbaldwin> Jack_Sparrow: I know, that's what I do. I've just seen it used those two ways before.
[14:42] <maxbaldwin> thanks raboof
[14:43] <ActionParsnip1> sYildirim: tar zxvf <file>
[14:43] <paul68> ActionParsnip1: do you have an idea to solve my conky problem?
[14:43] <sYildirim> thx
[14:43] <gregor_> is there any new version of youtube-dl coming, with that you can download higher resolution videos?
[14:43] <ActionParsnip1> paul68: you may need a script to grep and awk the output of ifconfig and return the output to conky, otherwise not sure
[14:43] <ActionParsnip1> paul68: i dont use conky
[14:44] <paul68> ActionParsnip1: ok thanks
[14:44] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: doesnt youtube-dl just pull down the flv file as it is?
[14:44] <karamazov> on the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR
[14:44] <karamazov> it says
[14:44] <karamazov> Some directories require root or superuser permissions to successfully backup. Gain superuser access by opening a terminal and entering:
[14:45] <karamazov> sudo -s -H
[14:45] <karamazov> does it not ask for password?
[14:45] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: well what are you backing up?
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> karamazov Not needed.. like that
[14:45] <gregor_> ActionParsnip1, it only download the flv file and not(if avraible) the mp4-file which is much bigger and better.
[14:45] <karamazov> ActionParsinp1: i'm going to back up /home directories everyday
[14:45] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: if you are backing up only your home dir, you have access that and its not needed
[14:45] <karamazov> ActionParsnip1: i'm going to back up /home directories everyday
[14:45] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: then its not necessary as you will have full access as you
[14:45] <karamazov> but all users's home directories at once
[14:46] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: as its your data#
[14:46] <karamazov> not only mine
[14:46] <karamazov> there are 5 users on the system
[14:46] <karamazov> i have to write a script so that all of their files will be backed up
[14:46] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: when you set up the cron job it is setup as root so the cron process will have access to all users files afaik
[14:47] <karamazov> using crontab how can i do it? write crontab -u root?
[14:47] <lukibmc> enzo ci sei
[14:47] <savvas> karamazov: you could use /etc/crontab
[14:47] <ActionParsnip1> !cron
[14:47] <clarks> what is ubuntu server d/l for?
[14:48] <savvas> clarks: what do you mean?
[14:48] <clarks> savvas, what server ubuntu for?what the function?
[14:48] <gregor_> ActionParsnip1, is it possible to "request" an update of it?
[14:49] <savvas> clarks: ubuntu server is for building a server, such as web server, mail server, ftp server, etc
[14:49] <clarks> savvas, its mean i have to built my own server in server ubuntu?
[14:50] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: an update of what?
[14:50] <gregor_> youtube-dl, that it support higher resolution videos,
[14:51] <savvas> clarks: you can also use ubuntu desktop to make it a server, if that is your question :)
[14:51] <clarks> yeah thats what i mean
[14:51] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: the script downloads the flv file by reading the html code and seeing what file is referenced
[14:51] <savvas> clarks: ubuntu server cd just makes it easier to configure your machine as a server
[14:51] <clarks> owhk..
[14:51] <clarks> savanik, i get it
[14:51] <clarks> tq..
[14:51] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: i didnt think itd work in any other way
[14:51] <savvas> np
[14:52] <gregor_> ActionParsnip1, keepvid.com does also, so there is a way to get the higher video resolution...
[14:52] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: not sure, have a websearch round
[14:52] <spacepluk> hi, someone using lpia on a netbook?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: i only know of the script. i dont use it any
[14:52] <spooky_d> Hello
[14:53] <falckon> hey, i tried to test jaunty on my acer aspire with a intel 945GME graphics card, but the graphics don't work with the new xorg, is there a fix for this?
[14:53] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: youtube quality is usually garbage
[14:53] <spooky_d> I was wondering - how cam I play video with sound on the 9.04?
[14:53] <spooky_d> mplayer is silent as a fish, vlc/xine as well
[14:53] <SlimeyPete> spooky_d: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for 9.04 support
[14:53] <ezerhoden__> falckon: use apt-pinning to mark the version of X that you need
[14:53] <gregor_> ActionParsnip1, http://keepvid.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fde.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dlqt9_9np4-8 compare the both videos... it is a huge difference between them...
[14:53] <spooky_d> thanks
[14:54] <falckon> ezerhoden, thanks i'll look it up
[14:54] <ActionParsnip1> gregor_: then find an equiv to that, they could be any old video to make their software look better

[15:03] <shadok> hi, i'm wondering if the statistics from the package popularity contest are available somewhere on the canonical/ubuntu site, any hint ?
[15:03] <raboof> nnull: perhaps it stores the passwords using a hash that only looks at the first 8 characters of the plaintext - i seem to remember 3des-hashing or something did that
[15:03] <zim> that should do it but be careful with -r
[15:03] <gharz> zim: ok. thanks!

[15:05] <mustangg> Jack_Sparrow - yes ATI, but turning off  visual effects effects did not fix it. also tried some of (http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide) those post-tricks.

[15:14] <ActionParsnip1> Robert_C: is a hard drive interface, others include PATA and SCSI
[15:14] <ActionParsnip1> !dvd | unanxbt
[15:15] <nnull> Robert_C, SATA drives have neat cables, IDE ones have grey ugly ones :)
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> nnull: all drives are IDE
[15:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !dvd
[15:15] <nnull> where did i say they were? :s
[15:15] <Robert_C> actionparsnipl: beats me, but when i try loading setup it closes itself also
[15:15] <zim> here is how it works. Customer installs some app ie skype. Norton says do you want some.dll to access the web. they say no Skype=broken. Call me I fix. next day customer is asked by norton do you want some.virus. They say yes as yesterday it cost them for me to fix the NO problem. so now they only SAY YES
[15:15] <nnull> oh
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> Robert_C: xp has no SATA driver so you need to use a floppy with the driver for your chip on it, or use software to add the driver to the XP iso and reburn
[15:15] <unanxbt> @thanks > ActionParsnip1
[15:15] <nnull> thought u said NOT all drives are ide
[15:15] <karamazov> hello
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> nnull: ide == integrate drive electronics
[15:15] <unanxbt> ActionParsnip1, thanks
[15:15] <karamazov> i want my pc to have a static ip in a lan
[15:15] <karamazov> not dhcp
[15:16] <Vinnex> my computer says that it failed to load the NVIDIA kernel
[15:16] <nnull> ActionParsnip1, so how do you differ between sata connectioned ide devices and their predicessors?
[15:16] <Robert_C> actionparsnipl: it's an actual windows xp cd, not one i burnt from someone
[15:16] <ftab__> so there is no to reset the sound to it's system default?
[15:16] <unanxbt> Vinnex, reinstall your nvidia driver
[15:16] <vallhalla81> !live
[15:16] <ActionParsnip1> nnull: old storage drives didnt have circuit controllers on them so relied purley on the controller to control them
[15:16] <ftab__> *no way
[15:16] <zim> ActionParsnip1: now you understand my point
[15:16] <vallhalla81> !live usb
[15:16] <Vinnex> unanxbt: whats the most convenient way of doing that?
[15:16] <nnull> ActionParsnip1, yea but what is the standard to call them by?
[15:16] <ActionParsnip1> nnull: SATA == serial; ATA, PATA == parallel ATA
[15:16] <nnull> ahh so they're PATA ?
[15:17] <rodolfo> guys tell me how I'm supposed to "transfer" image from my nobo to my display...so far it just reflects the image, I mean both displays (nobo display and my 17'' TFT monitor) shows the same image how can I watch the image from my notebook to a different display and turn the nobo's display off?
[15:17] <unanxbt> Vinnex, did you download driver from nvidia's site?
[15:17] <ActionParsnip1> nnull: tecnically but if you say IDE people will get what you mean
[15:17] <Vinnex> unanxbt: yeah just do that again?
[15:17] <ActionParsnip1> nnull: its like hoover, tannoy etc
[15:17] <nnull> ActionParsnip1, lol yea that's what i thought before you fyi'd me :)
[15:17] <Vinnex> unanxbt: i downloaded 180.22
[15:17] <ActionParsnip1> nnull: perspex
[15:17] <nnull> ActionParsnip1, lol yea
[15:18] <unanxbt> Vinnex, open terminal > go to folder that contains the nvidia driver > then "sudo sh NV*
[15:18] <nnull> ActionParsnip1, Freedom heh
[15:18] <vallhalla81> what is it you use to make a livedisk but on a pen drive?
[15:18] <rodolfo> is there a way to do this?
[15:18] <Vinnex> unanxbt: i need to do it out of the x server thingy how do i get out of it ctrl alt bkspc?
[15:18] <unanxbt> Vinnex, do not forget to do turn off X before doing this
[15:19] <unanxbt> Vinnex, press Alt+Ctrl+F1 > login > write "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Vinnex sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop. do your nivida stuff, using sudo. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X . ctl-alt-f7 to get back to gui, if needed
[15:19] <DasEi> Vinnex: alt & F1
[15:19] <unanxbt> Vinnex, after installing driver > sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[15:19] <Vinnex> ok
[15:20] <ftab__> in my commands history
[15:20] <ftab__> I issued these commands
[15:20] <ftab__>   76  sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio
[15:20] <ftab__>    77  sudo gedit ~/.profile
[15:20] <ftab__>    78  sudo killall pulseaudio
[15:20] <ftab__>    79  sudo aptitude remove pulseaudio
[15:20] <ftab__>    80  sudo aptitude install esound
[15:20] <FloodBot2> ftab__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:20] <drpc> how can I copy files in shell as root
[15:20] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: use pastebin dude
[15:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !paste > ftab__
[15:20] <unanxbt> Vinnex, the X should be completely turned off for nvidia driver installation
[15:20] <ActionParsnip1> drpc: sudo cp <source> <dest>
[15:20] <unanxbt> Vinnex, so you have to do all this
[15:21] <Vinnex> unanxbt: yeah wrote it down
[15:21] <vallhalla81> !frugal
[15:21] <Vinnex> unanxbt: if not i'll be back :P
[15:21] <drpc> ok thanksssssss
[15:21] <MisterKM> Hey all. Git a question. I can't really get XMMS2 to install.

[15:23] <ftab__> getting fedup with this issue
[15:23] <laggo> all i get after installing is "operating system not found"
[15:23] <jclbrt> wats the issue
[15:23] <MisterKM> unanxbt: im not trying xmms, im doing xmms2 (!info xmms2). I've ran the installer, but theres no icon for it.
[15:24] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: try switching to alsa
[15:24] <jclbrt> laggo: make sure u installed to the master drive
[15:24] <jclbrt> ftab__, wats the issue
[15:24] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: you will get issues with a new OS if its your first time
[15:24] <unanxbt> MisterKM, I am using xmms, never tried xmms2
[15:24] <ActionParsnip1> !xmms
[15:24] <tereg> I need help with this report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/320287  also I'm debating whether this should be filed as a bug or if it should be a question
[15:24] <ftab__> I want to reset my sound configuration to system default
[15:24] <johnny_boy> GUIS CN U TEECH ME 2 HAK????????//
[15:24] <ftab__> is that possible?
[15:24] <laggo> jclbrt: i have one drive in the machine, i use ubuntu install to entire disk, i tell grub to do its thing with the mbr etc
[15:24] <ftab__> I messed up my sound
[15:24] <MisterKM> You can't get XMMS anymore.
[15:24] <draeday> everytime i put my machine to hibernate wierd stuff start to happen
[15:24] <laggo> jclbrt: and still, operating system not found
[15:25] <ftab__> now it works on Flash embedded player and not in Totem or any other music player
[15:25] <MacPri> Huhu :O
[15:25] <rodolfo> nevermind I figured it out on my own..thx
[15:25] <ftab__> jclbrt: you see what I mean?
[15:25] <draeday> screen loks wierd mouse is out of control
[15:25] <faileas> laggo: might sound a bit wierd but tried wiping the disk first with something like dban?
[15:25] <jclbrt> does anyone know the status of siiverlight being ported to linux
[15:25] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843012
[15:25] <MacPri> :D
[15:25] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: search for the word restore
[15:25] <jclbrt> faileas, i was jst about to suggest something like that
[15:25] <Vinnex> unanxbt: nvidia kernel failed again
[15:26] <laggo> faileas: havent tried it, did consider wiping the disk clean and trying again though
[15:26] <Vinnex> unanxbt: should i be creating a nvidia config file to run it?
[15:26] <jclbrt> laggo, if you use GParted it should tell u the formatting of the drive
[15:26] <unanxbt> Vinnex, you should allow it to modify xorg.conf
[15:26] <laggo> jclbrt: the formatting? it has a primary bootable partition and a swap partition
[15:26] <unanxbt> Vinnex, allow it to create config file
[15:27] <jclbrt> is it ext3?
[15:27] <Vinnex> unanxbt: i should have i allowed it to install everythin
[15:27] <Jampiter> Hi
[15:27] <unanxbt> Vinnex, everyting? what do you mean?
[15:27] <laggo> faileas: how about something like `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda`
[15:27] <jclbrt> laggo, is the drive in ext3 format
[15:27] <laggo> jclbrt: yes
[15:27] <laggo> the partition is
[15:27] <jclbrt> oh.. ok
[15:28] <laggo> i let ubuntu install have it's way with it, and it chooses ext3 by default
[15:28] <Jampiter> How can I update Hardy to Intrepid using the Intrepid alternate install disk image? I would rather not have to burn it as I don't have a CDR to hand.
[15:28] <laggo> the problem is one of boot
[15:28] <Vinnex> unanxbt: if tried finding a suitable nvidia kernel couldn't find one so built its own then i said no to 32bit openGL lib's cause im runnin 64 bit and then i said its ok for nvidia x-config file to be created and set as default for bootin up again
[15:28] <ftab__> ActionParsnipl: I did
[15:28] <ActionParsnip1> !upgrade | Jampiter
[15:28] <ftab__> but that doesn't help
[15:28] <jclbrt> that's strange
[15:28] <ftab__> I am not sure, but would just like to restore it to the default after installation
[15:29] <icewaterman> how do i make firefox use pulse audio for flash plugin's sound
[15:29] <unanxbt> Vinnex, the 32bit openGL option is new for me but I think you can give it a try
[15:29] <faileas> laggo: may work. i just tend to dban problematic hard drives, and its never ailed
[15:29] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: try renaming the files it recommends, they should be regenerated
[15:29] <Jampiter> Thank you ActionParsnip1
[15:29] <unanxbt> Vinnex, I never used that version of nvidia driver
[15:29] <ftab__> there is no asoundrc file
[15:29] <Vinnex> unanxbt: i did the first time and still gave me the kernel fail
[15:29] <ftab__> i located for it
[15:29] <laggo> faileas: so wipe the drive then try installer again?
[15:29] <ftab__> :(
[15:30] <unanxbt> Vinnex, Hmmm!! then you can give apt a try!
[15:30] <faileas> laggo: thats what i'd do ;p
[15:30] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: let me websearch again
[15:30] <laggo> ok trying
[15:30] <Vinnex> unanxbt: apt? get a new version or somethin
[15:30] <jclbrt> it seems like the only thing you can do laggo
[15:30] <jxander> is there a way for an application to start on both displays 0.0 and 0.1, forcing it to have multiple instances even if it doesn't support it?
[15:30] <jclbrt> maybe try a fdisk on the drive and look for errors irst
[15:30] <unanxbt> Vinnex, no, you can find "Hardware Driver" in any of your menu
[15:31] <Vinnex> unanxbt: i was using 177 but i wanted to update it to 180
[15:31] <laggo> i already tried clearing the partition table etc
[15:31] <sattam> hi , whats the gnome version in ubuntu 8.04.2 ?
[15:31] <laggo> if wiping the disk doesnt do it, it must be a configuration issue (i.e. mbr not knowing there is such a thing as grub)
[15:31] <jclbrt> Vinnex, System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers
[15:31] <ActionParsnip1> ftab__: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-applets/+bug/95940
[15:31] <unanxbt> Vinnex, I told you the proceedure! I never used 180 so no clue about it
[15:32] <jclbrt> but grub should be the only mbr on there
[15:32] <Vinnex> unanxbt: ill prob just revert to 170
[15:32] <Vinnex> unanxbt: 177
[15:32] <immortallity> Hey, I'm looking for someone who can explain me how to upgrade from 7.4 to 8.10 using the live disc, anyone?
[15:32] <sattam> hi , whats the gnome version in ubuntu 8.04.2 ?
[15:33] <unanxbt> Vinnex, yeah, good for you :)
[15:33] <yellabs_> ..
[15:33] <jclbrt> any idea if netflix will go linux compatible
[15:33] <jclbrt> maybe a silverlight port or something?
[15:33] <DasEi> immortallity: hm, I#d suggest you a clean install, else go to go 8.04, too, see:
[15:33] <yellabs_> hi there , is there an way to auto connect keyring manager , for wireless networks?
[15:34] <laggo> hah ok disk being filled with zero's :)
[15:34] <immortallity> DasEi, is it possible to upgrade from 7.4 to 8.4 then?
[15:34] <laggo> looks like it will take about 40 mins (9.2 MB/s)
[15:34] <jclbrt> laggo: how many writes does it do?
[15:34] <ftab__> it's strange that sound is working in Flash Movies on my browser
[15:34] <DasEi> immortallity:yes it is
[15:34] <immortallity> or do I have to clean install?
[15:34] <immortallity> ok :)
[15:34] <ftab__> and not on other music players
[15:34] <laggo> jclbrt: just one
[15:34] <jclbrt> oh
[15:34] <SilentInfidel> hi, I have installed libdvdcss2 and I can't get DVD playback to work in Totem or VLC. Anyone had this problem?
[15:34] <yellabs_> i have to retype the password for wireless ( keyring ) every time, can i change this? any tips are welcome..
[15:35] <jclbrt> the NSA might find u
[15:35] <laggo> jclbrt: urban legend, i know a lot of those data recovery guys
[15:35] <adaptr> yellabs_: which is it ? wireless or the keyring ?
[15:35] <unanxbt> Why the coping from Hard Disk to USB or USB to Hard Disk is so slow (1KB/Sec) and how can I increase the coping speed?
[15:35] <yellabs_> keyring
[15:35] <DasEi> ﻿ubottu: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes ,immortallity
[15:35] <adaptr> unanxbt: maybe the USB drive is simply very slow ?
[15:35] <jclbrt> laggo: it cnt be urban legend I have seen it with my own eyes
[15:35] <yellabs_> !keyring
[15:35] <jclbrt> my unlce does that for a living
[15:35] <immortallity> DasEi: so, I've just got to put the live cd in it and run the install and format the current filesystem?
[15:35] <adaptr> !seahorse
[15:35] <adaptr> pfft
[15:36] <immortallity> DasEi: ok, thanks :D
[15:36] <yellabs_> hmm
[15:36] <jclbrt> he works in computer forensics and they can pull information off almost any drive
[15:36] <laggo> jclbrt: i would gladly challenge any data recovery expert to find any meaningful data after it has been dd'd
[15:36] <unanxbt> adaptr, its USB 2
[15:36] <jclbrt> laggo: I'll ask him if he is up for the challange
[15:36] <laggo> jclbrt: yes, they rely on high level deletion, this is just raw writes to the drive
[15:36] <adaptr> unanxbt: that says nothing about performance per se, as all components contribute to overall speed, but 1KByte per second seems unreasonable
[15:37] <jclbrt> random writes to the drive like 50 times should be secure
[15:37] <DasEi> immortallity:if you want a fresh install (which is safer) run setup from live, if you want upgrade, follow ubotttu , do dist-upgrade
[15:37] <laggo> hah
[15:37] <sattam> iam asking again  , whats the gnome version in ubuntu 8.04.2 ?
[15:37] <laggo> one single raw write is enough
[15:37] <unanxbt> adaptr, the same USB is more faster in coping in WIndows!
[15:37] <laggo> it's such an urban legend, all that residual magnetism bs
[15:37] <wotker> fuck
[15:37] <lifenova> !ohmy
[15:38] <Mpole> hi all. i am looking for the off topic channel... where can i find it?
[15:38] <tritium> Mpole: #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:38] <jclbrt> sattam, i think it's gnome 2.2
[15:38] <Mpole> thanks tritium
[15:39] <matt_> How can I add a user from terminal? Nice link please?
[15:39] <lifenova> sattam: it's gnome 2.2
[15:39] <jclbrt> laggo: I've seen my uncle do it with his software
[15:39] <laggo> jclbrt: not recovering from raw writes to the drive
[15:39] <shadok> hi, i'm wondering if the statistics from the package popularity contest are available somewhere on the canonical/ubuntu site, any hint ?
[15:39] <gmathews> Hi. How do i set an animation effect for my right click menu on my desktop
[15:39] <laggo> if you drag something to the recycle bin and press empty, thats not a raw write
[15:39] <jclbrt> yea laggo
[15:39] <jclbrt> he did it to my drive
[15:39] <adaptr> jclbrt: DoD standard is full wipe, 7 times
[15:39] <sattam> gnome 2.24 or 2.22 ?
[15:39] <lifenova> matt_: http://www.ss64.com/bash/useradd.html
[15:40] <DasEi> ﻿sattam: look up yourself, via synaptic  or with apt-cache search "pak*" and dpkg -I  "pak*"
[15:40] <jclbrt> adaptr, i did only like 5
[15:40] <ryanakca> I've enabled the framebuffer on Intrepid, however, I need to run all of my framebuffer apps as root, lest I receive (/dev/fd0: Permission denied.). Is there a way to grant users access to the framebuffer?
[15:40] <gmathews> How do u know the version of the gnome that is installed?
[15:40] <adaptr> gmathews: erm... system, about gnome ?
[15:40] <gmathews> adaptr: :]
[15:40] <matt_> lifenova: Is there a way I can make it so that it doesn't show up on the login page list? I'm wanting to setup an account that I can ssh into...but not show up on the login page.
[15:40] <perillux> How do you open the various openOffice.org applications from the terminal?
[15:41] <sattam> DasEi: iam not ubuntu user :)
[15:41] <DasEi> gmatthews: dpkg  -I
[15:41] <MisterKM> !webcam
[15:41] <lifenova> matt_: well you can make your login screen not have a list at all, so that you have to type your username... would that suffice?
[15:41] <jclbrt> gmathews, right click on a panel and select about this panel
[15:41] <DasEi> sattam: but?
[15:42] <laggo> jclbrt: ask your uncle if he would accept a challenge to recover just a name of a file from a drive that has been wiped ONCE with a `dd if=/dev/zero` command
[15:42] <jclbrt> it should bring up a box that says gnome panels <version number>
[15:42] <gmathews> perillux: Oofice Impress is -> ooffice -impress %U
[15:42] <gmathews> perillux: just right click on the specific oofice app in your menu - add it to panel then when it is there right click on it and click properties
[15:43] <jclbrt> the gnome panel version is the same as the gnome version
[15:43] <perillux> gmathews: thank you
[15:43] <sattam> DasEi: never mind , i will download it and take the tour
[15:43] <Bupuntu> hi, how can i make that all external hard drive will have a specific icon?
[15:43] <gmathews> jclbrt: thanks
[15:43] <jclbrt> i will laggo
[15:43] <Bupuntu> now it shows the standard hd icon
[15:43] <savanik> Is there a way to test grub settings without rebooting your computer? I can't get it the 'colors' statement to take.
[15:44] <jclbrt> he says that in law enforcement they actually have to destroy the hard drvies cuz the information can almost always be recoverd
[15:44] <jclbrt> even if they do write outs
[15:44] <Photoguy> What is the terminal command for opening a port? I want to open 666.
[15:44] <shadok> right jclbrt
[15:44] <lifenova> Bupuntu: try mounting it, then right click its icon and press properties. then click the icon that appears and you'll be able to choose from a list; then I think everytime you mount it again, it will have that icon
[15:44] <jclbrt> but it takes like some really high end equipment to recover data.
[15:44] <savanik> jclbrt - common myth. One wipe of zeros is sufficient on modern hard drives.
[15:44] <laggo> jclbrt: because crooks dont use fundamental writes :)
[15:44] <faileas> jclbrt: actually its lazyness
[15:45] <lifenova> Photoguy: sudo ufw allow 666
[15:45] <savanik> http://www.forensicfocus.com/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=6525749
[15:45] <faileas> usually a guttman wipe is considered more than enough
[15:45] <jclbrt> no it's not..it's harder to destroy a drive then it is to dd it
[15:45] <Photoguy> lifenova, I want to use that port with a small server I'm running, will that command work?
[15:45] <Bupuntu> lifenova so i should do that with every hd? is there an option that everytime it will get the new icon? (in case i'm putting some friend's hd on)
[15:45] <faileas> jclbrt: just drillthrough it, or shred it
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[15:46] <jclbrt> faileas yes for the average crook it's hard for them to get info off, but not for the nsa or federal governments, if the drive exists they will find something
[15:46] <lifenova> Bupuntu: no, I think you'd have to do it one by one. I'm not sure of a specific way to set every type of device to have the one icon
[15:46] <jclbrt> my uncle says they use thermite to destroy drives
[15:46] <immortallity> DasEi: I tried the instructions according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades but it fails fetching some needed upgrades.. :(
[15:46] <lifenova> Photoguy: I think it should, I'm not too familiar with servers though
[15:46] <Jack_Sparrow> jclbrt offtopic
[15:46] <lexrex>  how do i mount an iso in 8.10 with gnome
[15:46] <Photoguy> Ok, thanks lifenova.
[15:47] <savanik> lexrex - is it an actual iso file, or a cue/bin or some other format?
[15:47] <Bupuntu> ok thanks
[15:47] <domi> hi together <:
[15:47] <jclbrt> Jack_Sparrow, actually it's not. we were going through the dd process cuz laggo is doing it right no
[15:47] <faileas> jclbrt: actually unless they are DAMN sure, its easier to start breaking fingers
[15:47] <lexrex> iso
[15:47] <domi> anyone uses amarok and knows wheres the synchronize button is? :/
[15:47] <sickwidit> hey i have a dual boot of windows 7 and windows xp, will ubuntu install fine with this setup ?
[15:47] <jclbrt> shhh faileas it's off topic
[15:47] <DasEi> immortallity:don't you have a way to backup your files and do a fresh install ?
[15:48] <laggo> hah
[15:48] <lifenova> sickwidit: yeah
[15:48] <savanik> Then it's easy. 'sudo mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 <filename> <mount point>'
[15:48] <laggo> 8.7gigs, nothing but zeroes
[15:48] <savanik> If you don't have a mount point, it's a good idea to create a new directory in /media. I usually use cde0, cde1, etc.
[15:48] <jclbrt> as far as u can see
[15:48] <jclbrt> that is a small hard drive
[15:48] <deagle> anyone know why vlc keeps stopping after a few seconds of playback?
[15:48] <gnuyen> how do you upgrade 8.04 to 8.04.2?
[15:48] <laggo> jclbrt: only 20% done
[15:48] <jclbrt> oh
[15:48] <jclbrt> i thought u meant the whole drive was like 8.7gb
[15:49] <jclbrt> i wasnt sure u wanted to install ubuntu to that small drive
[15:49] <jclbrt> doesnt leave a huge amount of wiggling room
[15:49] <user___> deagle: try the command line for more output: vlc -v $musicfile
[15:49] <lifenova> gnuyen: sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:49] <jclbrt> brb... gotta boot into windows
[15:49] <DasEi> immortallity: don't you have a way to backup your files and do a fresh install ?
[15:49] <deagle> user__: $videofile ok?
[15:49] <lifenova> gnuyen: If you've kept up with regular updates through the update manager, you already have 8.04.2
[15:49] <gnuyen> lifenova: I already did that.. does that mean i'm at 8.04.2?
[15:49] <jclbrt> cnt watch netflix on linux yet
[15:50] <jclbrt> i hope silverlight is ported to linux soon
[15:50] <user___> deagle: sure, just replace with your actual file
[15:50] <lifenova> gnuyen: Yeah.
[15:50] <jclbrt> i guess there is a port for silverlight 1
[15:50] <Paddy_EIRE> jclbrt, it is.. its called moonlight
[15:50] <jclbrt> but not the new silverlight
[15:50] <gnuyen> should i do dist-upgrade?
[15:50] <jclbrt> Paddy_EIRE, but i dnt think that works with the netflix movies
[15:50] <emma> Ubuntu is supposed to auto-mount an encrypted USB drive isn't it?
[15:50] <gnuyen> 9 packages have been kept back
[15:50] <emma> Hey there Paddy_EIRE
[15:50] <maxbaldwin> How can I find out what architeture I have? cat /proc/cpu
[15:50] <sickwidit> so grub will be able to pick up both my installations automatically (windows 7 and winxp) ?
[15:50] <lifenova> gnuyen: that will upgrade you to intrepid I think
[15:50] <Paddy_EIRE> emma, Hi there :)
[15:51] <Photoguy> lifenova, it did'nt seem to open the port.
[15:51] <deagle> user__: what do I look for? the ouput just stays there
[15:51] <jclbrt> maxbaldwin: what type of processor do u have?
[15:51] <deagle> user__: no errors or anything
[15:51] <lifenova> gnuyen: 8.04.2 doesn't really have a specific new feel to it, it's just the name for all the security updates and such given
[15:51] <user___> deagle: can you pastebinit?
[15:51] <lifenova> Photoguy: Sorry :( I'm really not sure then
[15:51] <sickwidit> lifenova: so grub will be able to pick up both my installations automatically (windows 7 and winxp) ?
[15:51] <Photoguy> lifenova, thanks for the effort!
[15:51] <gnuyen> ok thanks!
[15:51] <gnuyen> i guess i'm good to go
[15:52] <maxbaldwin> jclbrt: Is there a command that can tell me that? it's 'AMD Turion64 (cx2)'
[15:52] <lifenova> sickwidit: Yeah, it should. If you install windows again (after install ubuntu), you'll need to recover grub with live CD
[15:52] <Guest58225> hey, Is there any WINE channel?
[15:52] <Jack_Sparrow> winehq
[15:52] <lifenova> Guest58225: #wine-hq
[15:52] <lifenova> Maybe no dash :/
[15:52] <sickwidit> lifenova: another question, i only need ubuntu for programming purposes, so is 7gb and 2gb swap enough space ?
[15:52] <Guest58225> it's empty
[15:52] <lifenova> sickwidit: how much RAM do you have
[15:52] <sickwidit> 2gb
[15:52] <Guest58225> can I get wine help on this channel?
[15:52] <deagle> user__: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/109006/
[15:53] <deagle> Guest58225: not really, #wine-hq is for that
[15:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Guest58225 winehq is not empty
[15:53] <DasEi> ﻿ Guest58225: #winehq, but ask anyway
[15:53] <Jack_Sparrow> no dash
[15:53] <Paddy_EIRE> Guest58225, you can get help installing wine on this channel
[15:53] <icewaterman> sickwidit: 10GB is extremely few space, since you will also want to store data somewhere.
[15:53] <immortallity> DasEi: Will check how much space I need and do a clean install, thanks anyway :)
[15:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !wine
[15:53] <domi> anyone knows how to synchronize my ipod files with amarok? ipod is connected
[15:53] <user___> deagle: it shows a css key problem.
[15:54] <Jack_Sparrow> !ipod
[15:54] <deagle> user: yeah, i just read that, what's that about?
[15:54] <domi> thx bot <:
[15:54] <sickwidit> icewaterman: i have a 250gb external hd i can use for data storage, besides my programs wont be more than 100mb in total
[15:54] <deagle> user: cascading style sheets? on video files? o_O
[15:54] <emma> I have made an encrypted USB drive using crypsetup. I am able to use the command line to open it, and mount it. But when I put it into the machine, Ubuntu brings up some dialog box asking for it's password as if it were going to autmount it. It never does that.
[15:54] <domi> but the question is not how to connect the ipod but wheres the damn button to synchronise the files
[15:54] <user___> deagle: its a dvd content protection layer
[15:55] <bakarat> i can use the number keys in the login screen and in the console (ctrl+alt+f1, forgot how that is called) but in X itself (once logged in), they do not work
[15:55] <user___> !css | deagle
[15:55] <bakarat> any ideas?
[15:55] <sickwidit> icewaterman, lifenova: i am only using ubuntu to run a LAMP stack and for some basic C programming, so will 10gb space be enough for that ?
[15:55] <icewaterman> sickwidit: remember, not only the codesize is relevant but also the binaries created during compilation etc. but 7GB might be enough depending on what additional packages you want to install
[15:55] <ljgk3423> -icewaterman, lifenova: i am only using ubuntu to run a LAMP stack and for some basic C programming, so will 10gb space be enough for that ?
[15:55] <icewaterman> sickwidit: yes
[15:56] <lifenova> sickwidit: Yeah, I presume so. 3gig is about how much the root system takes up so yeah
[15:56] <ezerhoden__> bakarat: system > preferences > keyboard then pick a new layout
[15:56] <icewaterman> i suggest you cut off some space and reduce swap to 1GB
[15:56] <faileas> ljgk3423: ya
[15:56] <bakarat> ezerhoden__, ok, hold on
[15:56] <sickwidit> okay thks guys
[15:57] <nightrid3r> when useing ebox webadmin i get this firefox error "ssl_error_rx_unexpected_change_cipher"
[15:57] <Andre_H> jrib: i now installed my ubuntu and the xubuntu-desktop package...but after restart it still runs gnome...what i have to do???
[15:57] <bakarat> ezerhoden__, makes no difference
[15:58] <Paddy_EIRE> jclbrt, it should be available shortly
[15:59] <matt_> lifenova: I thought about it...but as it is my mom and dad using the computer...typing a username is extremely ineffcient for them. Why type when they can click? I'm sure you see exactly what I'm saying. I just want a backdoor ssh login so I can make sure it stays updated
[15:59] <wemakeyousoundba> I saw he midget do it
[16:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Andre_H Select default where you login under options
[16:00] <user___> matt_: (just to add info: you can configure the package manager to install the updates automatically)
[16:00] <ftab__> i m pissed off by this sound issue
[16:01] <ftab__> how strange it is
[16:01] <lifenova> matt_: Oh, I found it. If you go to System -> Admin -> Login Window and click the Users tab, you can choose which users are displayed on log-in
[16:01] <ftab__> and no one is helping out here
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> ftab__ Please stop spamming us with multiple enter  keys
[16:01] <Andre_H> Jack_Sparrow: THX, i already found it now
[16:01] <unop> matt_, there are a couple of GDM themes that allow you to select a username instead of typing it out .. and you can also configure the GDM to automatically log a  particular user on
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Andre_H cool
[16:01] <ftab__> I am not man
[16:02] <ftab__> I am not sure who is bolt and who is person
[16:02] <gharz> zim: i finished scanning the windows partition and it says it has 3 infected files... does clamav clean/delete/quarantive the virus?

[16:02] <unop> Woden, that's offtopic
[16:02] <lifenova> !patience | ftab__
[16:02] <nickrud> ftab__, ubottu and the floodbots are bots; the rest are all people (or gone)
[16:02] <Jack_Sparrow> ftab__ They are called bot's and no I am not one and yes , you flooded us earlier and you are hitting enter after avery couple workds
[16:03] <Photoguy> I can't seem to open port 666!
[16:03] <tereg> I need some help with this report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/320287  I'm not really sure what direction to go
[16:03] <adaptr> Photoguy: you need to sell your soul first
[16:03] <unop> gharz, it should attempt to clean, quatantine, delete - in that order
[16:03] <matt_> lifenova: That'll be great...but...I wonder if I can check those boxes right now over ssh?
[16:03] <Photoguy> Yeah, it's only funny the first time
[16:04] <Jack_Sparrow> !iptables
[16:04] <gharz> unop: it means i don't have to run any command that will clean the infected files?
[16:04] <bakarat> could my new mouse be messing up my keyboard somehow? the numpad keys are not working once i log into X (in the login screen they work fine) and they have odd behavior, for example 5 will maximize or minimize a window...
[16:04] <gharz> !clamav

[16:04] <panete-2007> hi, does anyone know whats the best program to use with my ipod??
[16:05] <lifenova> matt_: eh, I don't know if there's anyway to do that from the command line. That program itself is called gdmsetup

[16:05] <lifenova> !ipod | panete-2007
[16:05] <unop> gharz, in any case, it's best you bot up windows in safe mode afterwards and then run another AV scan ther
[16:05] <ftab__> I would not want to get back to MS windows for viruses and spywares
[16:05] <ftab__> so please help me.

[16:06] <maxbaldwin> paul68: Why?
[16:06] <unop> paul68, see ifrename(8)
[16:06] <paul68> maxbaldwin: the reason is that I can't configure conky the correct way if I don't have wlan
[16:07] <paul68> unop: please clarify
[16:07] <unop> paul68, man 8 ifrename
[16:07] <maxbaldwin> paul68: ifrename.  run 'man ifrename'
[16:07] <maxbaldwin> oops, unop's right.
[16:07] <ftab__> Jack_Sparrow: do you know how to delete the sound drivers and then Re-Install?
[16:07] <nickrud> !ask | ftab__ (no one really has a clue what your problem is without diagnostics)
[16:08] <nickrud> ftab__, like, chipset of the sound device, etc
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !details
[16:08] <nickrud> ah, details, that's what I needed thanks Jack_Sparrow
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> morning nickrud
[16:08] <gmathews> Does anyone know how to get video as a screenlet in Intrepid
[16:08] <paul68> unop: no manual entry for  ifrename in section 8
[16:09] <Photoguy> I just want to open any three letter port, can't I do that?!
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud we need to improve that factoid a bit too
[16:09] <Photoguy> The command doesn't seem to actually do it.
[16:09] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow, it's more on topic than what I had
[16:09] <lifenova> gmathews: what do you mean screenlet?
[16:09] <Photoguy> Widget
[16:09] <ftab__> I am running Ubuntu Intrepid and my sound is working on embedded flash players but when I tryo listen to music or videos on VLC or totem it simply doesn't work
[16:09] <gmathews> Ha anyone got Audacity to work in Intrepid - or can someone suggest an alternative?
[16:09] <Rencx> why java dosnt have sound??
[16:10] <gmathews> lifenova: like a mini screen of my window attached to my desktop so i can play my music videos with nothing open - it should just appear on the desktop
[16:10] <nickrud> ftab__, ask that way every few minutes; someone with sound knowledge will drop by
[16:10] <paul68> maxbaldwin: any other thoughts
[16:11] <annoia> Hello, I have an Audigy soundcard, and it seems to be stuck in SPDIF passthrough mode. Is there some way to unstick it?
[16:11] <lifenova> gmathews: Oh, http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Category:UserScreenlets might have one
[16:11] <thermod> Nobody can help me about Moto4lin?
[16:11] <ftab__> nickrud: ok
[16:11] <gmathews> lifenova: Thanks - already looked there ;[

[16:12] <nite_johnboy> Hi - Accidently moved a folder and can't find it - installed Beagle plus used regular Search - still no luck - Any idea's what to try ? ?
[16:13] <user___> nite_johnboy: use the find command on the terminal: find *expected-name*
[16:14] <Rencx> why java dosnt have sound??
[16:14] <unop> nite_johnboy, a command.   find ~ iname "*folder*" -type d
[16:14] <savanik> ftab__ - I had a similar problem when setting up this box - it turned out I had too many codecs of the same type installed. You might see if you have multiple modules interfering with each other.
[16:14] <unop> user___, err no, that would do something else
[16:14] <ubuntontin> nepenthes rulez :P
[16:14] <ftab__> savanik: how do i do that
[16:14] <ftab__> I am new to linux
[16:15] <nite_johnboy> user___; thanks - can I use wildcard as well Example - file.*  OR thre*.*   ?
[16:15] <ftab__> savanik: how did you fixed your problem?
[16:15] <unop> nite_johnboy, you can use wildcards as arguments to  -name or -iname .. but they must be quoted
[16:15] <user___> unop: i see the differnce, but what would be _wrong_ about my first suggestion?
[16:16] <prince_jammys> missing starting path
[16:16] <nite_johnboy> unop; actually use quote's in terminal then?
[16:16] <unop> nite_johnboy, like this. yea.   find ~ -name "*keyword*"
[16:16] <prince_jammys> unless it's in your present dir, in which case, hey, you found it
[16:16] <Rencx> I use Java for some games but i dont have sound, how can i fix this problem?
[16:17] <nite_johnboy> unop; sweet! - will give a try - Why isn't beagle or default search that comes as standard install as good as terminal?
[16:17] <user___> prince_jammys: find *file* works fine here
[16:18] <Photoguy> I can't seem to allow any ports.
[16:18] <shesek> where does named/bind keeps his logs ?
[16:18] <lifenova> user___: that's because you're probably looking for files in the home directory, where you are
[16:18] <unop> nite_johnboy, i dunno .. it's perhaps not indexed your files just yet .. and that's why hasn't been able to find your directory
[16:18] <Photoguy> I just want to allow any three digit port!
[16:18] <user___> lifenova: got it, thanks everyone! :-)
[16:19] <emma> Anyone have any experienc with cryptsetup usb drive being automounted by Ubuntu ?
[16:19] <nite_johnboy> unop; cool - ok - thanks much - another way to use terminal to make a note of......
[16:19] <adaptr> Photoguy: you must be root to access ports below 1024
[16:19] <unop> user___,  to be honest, that's not a typical good use of find.
[16:19] <Photoguy> adaptr, sorry how do I become root user :P

[16:21] <jxander> how could i check at boot time if there is something plugged in my laptop's vga-out?
[16:21] <nite_johnboy> unop; Well if I can file that would be ok too - can then figure out where folder is correct?
[16:21] <shesek> I can't find the error nowhere :\
[16:21] <ftab__> Photoguy: there is no desktop env for root in Ubuntu
[16:21] <unop> nite_johnboy, the command should give you the full path of the location of your file/directory

[16:21] <Photoguy> Ok, I just want to allow a port...
[16:21] <Photoguy> Under 1024
[16:22] <savanik> ftab__ - I ended up uninstalling redundant packages, more or less at random, I'm afraid
[16:22] <nite_johnboy> unop; so what is best term to for file name ?
[16:22] <Jack_Sparrow> se7en1 edit menu.lst
[16:22] <nite_johnboy> to use
[16:22] <ftab__> savanik: I have been googling for a while now and now really tired :)
[16:22] <lifenova> se7en1: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[16:23] <se7en1> can i edit it thru windows ?
[16:23] <ftab__> Photoguy: for which process you want to open the 1024 ?
[16:23] <unop> nite_johnboy, say i was looking for a directory named  'personal_files' .. i would use find like this.   find ~ -iname "*personal*"
[16:23] <Photoguy> ftab an .exe server under Wine/
[16:23] <lifenova> se7en1: Not unless your ubuntu partition is formatted with fat32 or something
[16:24] <lifenova> se7en1: if you left it default, you can't access that file in windows (because windows can't read ext3)
[16:24] <nite_johnboy> unop; Ah - ok - takes awhile but I get eventually - heh heh - great!
[16:24] <ftab__> Photoguy: could you please be specific which server?
[16:24] <se7en1> lifenova: okay yeah i cant read it, so i go in ubuntu and open this file
[16:24] <se7en1> lifenova:what exactly do i have to change ?
[16:24] <Photoguy> Well, it's a very small one..
[16:25] <lifenova> se7en1: well there will be a list of your GRUB entries there. You can cut the whole block that refers to your Windows partition and then paste it above the ubuntu ones

[16:37] <Aethelred> kwsn: The normal proceedure here is to just ask your question. Right now, it looks like there are more questioners than answerers.
[16:37] <amy__>  hi

[16:38] <scunizi> nite_johnboy, check out tomboy for notes (already installed) or load up Vym from the repos.. it's a mind mapping program.. makes it easier to catagorize things..
[16:38] <kwsn> this is a basic one, so I'm sort of meh asking this, but how do you log in as root? >_>
[16:38] <dayo> nite_johnboy: u're welcome! :-)
[16:38] <unop> paul68, right, you'll probably have to update your network manager to make note of the change

When I shutdown/power off from either the gdm login screen, or shutting down after logging in, the computer will not power off completely.

[16:48] <scunizi> nite_johnboy, I really like vym.. good for all kinds of things.. however there is a bug in the one in the repos for Intrepid if you add notes to a branch.. you can compile the latest yourself . .it's pretty easy

[16:50] <holyguyver> Where is the true location of my trash folder in hardy?
[16:50] <Andre_H> MisterKM: you need the Guest-Programs on XP
[16:50] <unop> !trash > holyguyver
[16:50] <scunizi> MisterKM, other than the typical "right mouse click and share" in ubuntu and xp... there's something to do in vbox.. check them out at /join #vbox
[16:50] <MisterKM> ok
[16:50] <felix_> unop: thanks
[16:50] <halfgenius> hi
[16:50] <Andre_H> MisterKM: /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

[16:51] <yusuo> is there anyway to get the start menu from kde4 in gnome
[16:51] <scunizi> MisterKM, yes.. you also have to install guest additions  . .. but there is still yet something else.

[16:55] <holyguyver> What does one type into the command line to get it to erase everything in a folder?
[16:55] <scunizi> neo_188, do you like ubuntu? do you want to stick with it ?? do you want a dual boot?  if so you might consider installing directly to the harddrive.  It will avoid this kind of issue.. .. If you're just checking it out, just reinstall the wubi thing again and it should fix it.

[17:02] <M3TAPHYS1CS> a931bw, have you tried simply adding it to the 'Themes'
[17:02] <kupesoft> What's the sexiest netbook for ubuntu these days?
[17:02] <Jampiter> Hi
[17:02] <Adam-85> Hi all , I have problem with my VGA driver , My PC is Dell GX150 , VGA Intel i810 , I can not to access my graphic interface , beside that when load my live CD can use it as well
[17:02] <a931bw> i'm not idiot Yes i tryed
[17:03] <Baughn> After sufficient experimentation, I now have fourteen kernels showing up on my boot menu. Now, I could just remove the kernel packages manually, but is there any way to tell ubuntu to just keep, say, the last three?
[17:03] <Jampiter> I am upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid using the Alternate CD. It says it needs to download 1200 MB of files. Is it actually having to download these or is it getting it from the CD iso?
[17:03] <Baughn> Jampiter: Download.
[17:04] <Baughn> Jampiter: It's a good thing, though. If it got them from the CD, then it'd just proceed to replace them all on your first update after installing. :P
[17:04] <Jampiter> I was told it would get the right files from the CD. I have told it not to do any network updates and it said the network would not be used.
[17:04] <Baughn> Oh, it'll get them from the CD if they are /on/ the CD
[17:04] <alexandr> can you upgrade to intrepid through apt-get or something?
[17:04] <Baughn> But the installation CDs have a bit of a limited selection
[17:04] <Jampiter> Ok
[17:04] <Baughn> Jampiter: The real problem here is the "upgrade" part
[17:05] <Baughn> If you installed a new system, it could live with just what's on the CD
[17:05] <Jampiter> I don't want to have to download that much, as my ISP will not allow it.
[17:05] <Baughn> As it is, it isn't going to just uninstall all your programs
[17:05] <Baughn> Jampiter: Then I suggest ordering the DVD box-set
[17:05] <Jampiter> How much is that?
[17:05] <Jampiter> In GBP?
[17:05] <Baughn> Hmm
[17:05] <M3TAPHYS1CS> a931bw: sorry if i offended you but i just installed that theme by simply dragging the archive into my themes
[17:06] <Baughn> Well, the CD is free, but that's what you already have. Let me check
[17:06] <sattam> hi , did any one take ubuntu proffesional support  ?
[17:06] <user___> Jampiter: linuxcd.org f.e.
[17:06] <Baughn> Jampiter: https://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17 <-- 5 pounds for a twenty-pack
[17:07] <dzzz> hi, i have a problem setting up my canon lbp 430 on ubuntu server.  Can anybody help?
[17:07] <Jampiter> Ah. Is there a way just to order one of them?
[17:07] <Baughn> Jampiter: ..er, actually that is just one. Oops.
[17:07] <Baughn> Still, it's just five pounds. A bargain. :P
[17:07] <Jampiter> Heh :p
[17:07] <Baughn> Jampiter: Alternately , find someone with a decent ISP to burn it for you
[17:07] <Jampiter> Ok
[17:07] <user___> wow thats cheap
[17:08] <Baughn> user___: And why would it cost more?
[17:08] <Baughn> Actually, it isn't that cheap; there's postage too

[17:10] <Jampiter> Sky Broadband Baughn
[17:10] <M3TAPHYS1CS> a931bw, that theme will install fine by dragging the archive into your themes..I just done it a few minutes ago with the theme from the link you provided
[17:10] <yusuo> a931bw i can show u how to get emerald working properly if you want
[17:10] <Baughn> slongon: One of the pages I read to get there suggested you'd get twenty copies from each order. Apparently not.
[17:10] <yusuo> Jampiter ure with sky
[17:10] <Baughn> (It'd make sense, though. Pressing DVDs is practically free.)
[17:10] <slongon> Baughn: Ok, thanks.
[17:10] <Baughn> Jampiter: I'm not familiar with that one. Satellite link?
[17:11] <a931bw> i'm can't launch desctop effects to
[17:11] <Jampiter> yusuo: Yes
[17:11] <a931bw> But drivers is enabled
[17:11] <a931bw> and video is support's it
[17:11] <Jampiter> Baughn: No, regular broadband with a download limit ¬_¬
[17:11] <Baughn> Jampiter: Oh, and FYI: While the dvd does contain all the /official/ /ubuntu/ software, the wider universe of debian software wouldn't fit on ten DVDs. Still, it should cover most of it.
[17:12] <luke_> I'm using Kubuntu and trying to change my grub usplash but when i go to the tool in system settings it says /boot/grub/menu.lst does not exist! is this as simple as creating that file?
[17:12] <yusuo> i found out today if you want to flash ure router they ban you, also you cant run another router unless its running through the sky one
[17:12] <Baughn> Jampiter: A.. one-gigabyte download limit? o_O
[17:12] <Jampiter> Ok
[17:12] <Baughn> Can that even be called broadband?
[17:12] <a931bw> Restarting
[17:13] <Jampiter> Baughn: It's more than that, but it's still utter pants.
[17:13] <Jampiter> Besides, I don't want to use it all up
[17:13] <yusuo> luke_ /boot/grub/menu.lst doesnt change usplash it just control what os you boot into
[17:13] <Jampiter> Ah well, I'll do it anyway
[17:14] <Baughn> Jampiter: I'd heard rumors about the conditions in england, but that's worse than I thought
[17:14] <yusuo> ijm on unlimited sky broadband i better not have a download limit, i think ive downloaded more than a gb in the past few days
[17:14] <Baughn> Jampiter: (Heh. Rumors indeed, since you don't allow foreign reporters in.. what's with that?)
[17:14] <ericrost> Can XFS be used on top of LVM? I'm looking at future scalability for a media server
[17:14] <Baughn> ericrost: Sure
[17:14] <Jampiter> Baughn: ..I didn't know about that
[17:14] <ericrost> Baughn: any pointers to a good guide?
[17:14] <Baughn> ericrost: To LVM?
[17:14] <yusuo> anyone have any odeas how i can get the kde start menu in gnome
[17:15] <ericrost> to xfs and lvm used together
[17:15] <Baughn> ericrost: Oh. Nothing special for that.
[17:15] <holyguyver> What do I do whenever rm -rf * is unable to delete something?
[17:15] <Baughn> You just treat the LVM volume as any other partition.
[17:15] <Andre_Gondim> what is wrong here:  sox 10\ -\ Pink\ Floyd\ -\ Pigs\ \(Three\ Different\ Ones\).ogg 10\ -\ Pink\ Floyd\ -\ Pigs\ \(Three\ Different\ Ones\).wav
[17:15] <Andre_Gondim> sox soxio: Failed reading `10 - Pink Floyd - Pigs (Three Different Ones).ogg': unknown file type `auto'
[17:15] <jrib> holyguyver: what error do you get?
[17:15] <Baughn> holyguyver: Does it give you an error of some sort?
[17:15] <yusuo> holyguyver sudo nautilus
[17:15] <scunizi> yusuo, you want a single icon for access to all?
[17:15] <ericrost> I'll read up a bit more, just starting to look at it for an already running system so I don't have to tear down again
[17:15] <yusuo> scunizi
[17:15] <yusuo> wat u mean
[17:16] <holyguyver> jrib, Baughn yusuo rm: cannot remove `My Music/Human Drama': Input/output error
[17:16] <Baughn> Jampiter: From where I'm sitting, your country looks like some sort of police nation. No offense, but as slippery slopes go, yours is covered in ball bearings.
[17:16] <ericrost> is LVM built into the ubuntu partitioner now?
[17:16] <Baughn> ericrost: To some degree
[17:16] <yusuo> holyguyver sudo nautilus in terminal, u'll get a new window with out any theme applied to it, find ure file there and delete it
[17:16] <Baughn> holyguyver: Tell me the last few lines of dmesg output
[17:16] <Jampiter> Baughn: Not particularly.. where abouts are you?
[17:17] <yusuo> scunizi i want the start menu from kde4 in gnome or something similar
[17:17] <Baughn> holyguyver: I/O error is usually a /baad/ thing, but it might just be FS corruption
[17:17] <scunizi> yusuo, if you want a single icon to access the menu like kde/kubuntu then right mouse click the bar and "add" you'll see an option for it.  It won't have a "K" on it like kubunut
[17:17] <ericrost> ok, thanks for the quick info, back to researching it, just wanted to make sure I wasn't off in the weeds with my idea
[17:17] <ericrost> :_)
[17:17] <Baughn> Jampiter: Norway
[17:17] <yusuo> scunizi i domt wanna change the button thats easy i want to change the entire look of the start menu
[17:17] <holyguyver> Baughn, what will dmesg check?
[17:17] <IndyGunFreak> !gksudo > yusuo
[17:17] <Baughn> holyguyver: It just prints the kernel log
[17:17] <Baughn> holyguyver: The last few messages should be relevant
[17:18] <holyguyver> Baughn, how will that give any useful information?
[17:18] <scunizi> yusuo, add "Main Menu" and see if that works for you..
[17:18] <Jampiter> Baughn: I never knew the UK didn't let in foreign reporters
[17:18] <yusuo> ok gksudo but ive never had a problem with just sudo nautilus to get rid of items
[17:18] <Photoguy> Is there a way to use a port for something diffrent? I need a certain port, but it's already in use.
[17:18] <Baughn> Jampiter: Well, not ours anyhow..
[17:18] <Baughn> Jampiter: It seems to be a recent condition. Something to do with possible terrorist involvment, or some similar nonsense.
[17:18] <Adam-85> Hi all , I have problem with my VGA driver , My PC is Dell GX150 , VGA Intel i810 , I can not to access my graphic interface , beside that when load my live CD can use it as well
[17:18] <yusuo> scunizi, i want it to look more like vista than xp
[17:19] <Baughn> holyguyver: It'll tell me whether the error is caused by hardware failure, FS corruption, or maybe something more benign.
[17:19] <Baughn> holyguyver: So, if you'd please, the dmesg output?
[17:19] <Adam-85> Can any one fix it plz ?
[17:19] <Jampiter> Baughn: Possibly. If there's one thing the UK government is very cautious about (And rightly so), it's terrorism
[17:19] <scunizi> yusuo, ah.. like kubuntu (intrepid 8.10)
[17:19] <holyguyver> Baughn, this is not on my primary harddrive, nor is it on any internal harddrives.
[17:19] <yusuo> yeah
[17:19] <Jampiter> Baughn: Although I can't see why that would stop foreign reporters
[17:19] <d600sound> Hello, I've got a Dell D600 laptop; my sound works, but the volume controls on the laptop do not control the actual volume. I'm not sure what they control, how do I change this?
[17:19] <yusuo> the new start menu in kubuntu i want that in gnome
[17:19] <Jampiter> being allowed in
[17:20] <holyguyver> Baughn, & plus I know what is causing the error
[17:20] <Adam-85> Hi all , I have problem with my VGA driver , My PC is Dell GX150 , VGA Intel i810 , I can not to access my graphic interface , beside that when load my live CD can use it as well
[17:20] <Photoguy> Is there a way to use a port for something different? I need a certain port, but it's already in use.
[17:20] <Baughn> Photoguy: Define "port"
[17:21] <Photoguy> Sorry, networking, I need 666
[17:21] <scunizi> yusuo, I don't know how to do that.. I remember taht there is something available.. but can't remember the name or where I saw it.
[17:21] <holyguyver> Baughn, this harddrive was dropped onto the floor from 4  feet in the air.
[17:21] <Baughn> holyguyver: ..right. Hardware error indeed.
[17:21] <yusuo> theres one called gimme i wanna install
[17:22] <yusuo> but i done ./configure and it says it cant find a make file
[17:22] <Adam-85> Jack_Sparrow:  Can help he to fix my VGA driver
[17:22] <holyguyver> Baughn, so any commands I can use to delete this folder? :p
[17:22] <Baughn> holyguyver: If you get an I/O error on deleting the file, and you're pretty sure it's caused by actual physical drive damage, then you're basically screwed.
[17:22] <Photoguy> Baughn: Sorry, networking, I need 666, or 6667
[17:22] <jamiejackson> my thumb drive is all of a sudden read only today. know what the problem is?
[17:22] <Photoguy> *667
[17:22] <Baughn> holyguyver: Copy all your data off that drive while you still can
[17:22] <scunizi> yusuo, gimmie is in the repos.. look in synaptic.. should be a 2 click install and no compiling
[17:22] <gerber> elp how to connecting to another computer over the internet using remote destop connection just like xp pls help,thank you
[17:22] <Baughn> Photoguy: You can't have it, then. Only one process is allowed to listen to a port at a time.
[17:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Adam-85 Sorry, busy getting some work done
[17:23] <holyguyver> Baughn, already done, I copied all of my data off of it a year & a half ago when I dropped it.
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> jamiejackson unclean umount
[17:23] <Photoguy> Baughn, well are all of them taken under 1024?
[17:23] <Baughn> Photoguy: (If that wasn't the case, it'd be impossible for the kernel to tell which program is supposed to have the incoming messages)
[17:23] <Adam-85> Jack_Sparrow:  ok ,
[17:23] <jamiejackson> Jack_Sparrow: what's the cure?
[17:23] <Baughn> Photoguy: No, but only root is allowed tolisten to ports < 1024
[17:23] <Adam-85> Any one help me to fix my VGA Driver plz
[17:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Photoguy Perhaps you should tell people what program you are trying to setupo
[17:23] <Photoguy> Right, but I allowed them.
[17:24] <d600sound> ah, I figured it out. Sound Preferences -> Default Mixer Tracks. Thanks anyway!
[17:24] <Baughn> holyguyver: If you really want to push your luck, then I suggest doing a "cat /dev/zero > /dev/disk-wahtever"
[17:24] <Jack_Sparrow> jamiejackson force mount or insert in windoes and remove cleanly
[17:24] <d600sound> bye!
[17:24] <holyguyver> Baughn, I am trying to refurbish this drive & I am trying to wipe that folder without reformating :p
[17:24] <evil-doer> so is wubi broken or something? every time i go to try ubuntu it fails and i cant even boot
[17:24] <Baughn> holyguyver: That'll cause the disk controller to remap as many sectors as possible, if the damage is reasonably localized
[17:24] <jamiejackson> okay, will go the windows route.
[17:24] <holyguyver> Baughn, what will that command do?
[17:24] <Photoguy> Jack_sparrow, it's a small .exe server under Wine, that you've probably never heard of.
[17:24] <Guest244> oh hai
[17:24] <Baughn> holyguyver: Wipe the disk.
[17:24] <a931bw> Why my effects don't running?
[17:24] <gerber> help how to connecting to another computer over the internet using remote destop connection just like xp pls help,thank you
[17:24] <Baughn> holyguyver: If you get an I/O error on *write*, then the disk is dead.
[17:24] <yusuo>  scunizi its not in sypnatic
[17:24] <a931bw> I'm getting White screen
[17:24] <Baughn> holyguyver: But an I/O error on read can just mean that single sector is dead, and will be remapped on write
[17:25] <SamIam> anyone know why my browser window locks itself to the top of the screen, so that I can't see the top bar?
[17:25] <Baughn> holyguyver: Deleting a file involves both reading and writing, so that's no good as a test
[17:25] <scunizi> yusuo, I just looked it up on my hardy install.. no problem.. let me check intrepid
[17:25] <evil-doer> i did a wubi install, rebooted, chose ubuntu, it did its install thing, it rebooted, i chose ubuntu. and i get this screen here.. http://i43.tinypic.com/14c8doh.jpg  anyone know whats going on?
[17:25] <Adam-85> Hi all , I have problem with my VGA driver , My PC is Dell GX150 , VGA Intel i810 , I can not to access my graphic interface , but when load my live CD can use it as well with graphic interface
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Photoguy Until now you never mentioned wine.. so the better your questions the better the answers
[17:25] <kingbilly> i want to use remote desktop across the internet to two computers both being NAT'd...  i have an ubuntu VPS in canada, could i set up a proxy or tunnel on it?
[17:25] <holyguyver> Baughn, all files & folders I can write & read from that disk, the only problem folder is that one.
[17:25] <Baughn> holyguyver: Do it anyway. There may be more problems you just haven'T found yet.
[17:26] <Baughn> holyguyver: You really don't have a choice in this..
[17:26] <gerber> help how to connecting to another computer over the internet using remote destop connection just like xp pls help,thank you
[17:26] <LeonBrussels> Hi, I want to install *buntu on an eeePc 701. I will put netbook remix on there, the question is if xubuntu boots faster than ubuntu. Boot time is really important for me
[17:26] <Photoguy> Ok, is it possible to cancel use of a port, so nothing is using it, then use it for my own thing? (root user of course)
[17:26] <Baughn> holyguyver: Anyway, if the disk-wipe fails, /then/ the disk is dead. If it doesn't, due to the way it was damaged, it might still last for years. Probably won't, but it might.
[17:26] <holyguyver> Baughn, I have already deleted & re-written every single file & folder on that disk with the exception of that one, which ist does allow me to move around, from folder to folder, just not to delete.
[17:27] <gerber> help how to connecting to another computer over the internet using remote destop connection just like xp pls help,thank you
[17:27] <aldipc> question: I am running ubuntu on 192.168.174.24 behind a NAT DSL-router, ever since I installed a bittorrent client and opened up two ports in the 50000+ port rang I have been getting portrequests on my firestarter firewall tool on port 6881, now since I don't have port forwarding or upnp turned on for port 6881 my question is: WHY does my dsl router forward these port requests to my box??! clearly it can't be a connection initiated from my
[17:27] <aldipc>  own box because then the firewall would not block the port, so what is going on? please help!
[17:27] <Baughn> holyguyver: Do you really want me to start delving into the details of filesystem data structures and inodes?
[17:27] <user___> kingbilly: hmm, what about vnc over ssh
[17:27] <Mordred> how do i decrease the size of my pidgin buddy list, it wont let me make it smaller
[17:27] <holyguyver> Baughn, if you want, though I think it will be a waste of time
[17:27] <geirha> Photoguy: try « sudo netstat -nap | grep 666 » The last field should be the pid/name of the process using that port
[17:27] <Photoguy> Jack_Sparrow: Ok, is it possible to cancel use of a port, so nothing is using it, then use it for my own thing? (root user of course)
[17:27] <digitalpsyko> hey fellas, i just ordered a 64gig ssd for my laptop, i plan on running 8.10Intrepid 64bit on it, is there any thing i should know about runinng ubuntu on an ssd, any tweaks or anything i should do, has anyone had an issues with ubuntu on them
[17:27] <digitalpsyko> ???
[17:27] <Baughn> holyguyver: It would. The correct solution is to wipe the disk. :P
[17:28] <gerber> help how to connecting to another computer over the internet using remote destop connection just like xp pls help,thank you
[17:28] <Baughn> holyguyver: What have you got to lose?
[17:28] <holyguyver> Baughn, you are not understanding me, I just said I already did that.
[17:28] <a931bw> Why my effects don't running?
[17:28] <user___> gerber: vnc
[17:28] <Baughn> holyguyver: No, you said you used rm -rf to delete files
[17:28] <Photoguy> geirha, I'll try that
[17:28] <yusuo> i had the same problem holyguyver and what i told u to do to start off with solved my problem
[17:28] <a931bw> Why my effects don't running?
[17:28] <gerber> where can i get vnc
[17:28] <evil-doer> i did a wubi install, rebooted, chose ubuntu, it did its install thing, it rebooted, i chose ubuntu. and i get this screen here.. http://i43.tinypic.com/14c8doh.jpg  anyone know whats going on?
[17:28] <yusuo> it said it was read only even though it wasnt, would let me move directry etc but not delete
[17:29] <jamiejackson> that worked for my thumbdrive, Jack_Sparrow, thx
[17:29] <olivier_> Does someone know how to log in gdm using VNC ?
[17:29] <holyguyver> yusuo, I believe you & I have different problems.
[17:29] <kingbilly> user___: that will work behind to nat routers
[17:29] <Mordred> how do i decrease the size of my pidgin buddy list, it wont let me make it smaller
[17:29] <user___> !vnc > gerber
[17:29] <Baughn> holyguyver: rm -rf does *not* wipe the disk. It does lots of point changes, but itonly touches the metadata.
[17:29] <Baughn> holyguyver: And more to the point, it'll *read* inodes before deleting them
[17:29] <SamIam> Anyone know why my firefox window locks itself to the top of the screen?
[17:29] <Photoguy> geirha, so this: sudo netstat -nap | grep 666 winedevice.exe    ?
[17:29] <Baughn> holyguyver: Since they may have multiple links, in which case it isn't suppsoed to delete them. Reference-counting and all.
[17:30] <Baughn> holyguyver: Most likely scenario: The inode pointing at that single file has a bad sector
[17:30] <holyguyver> Baughn, I never said I removed all of the files with that command. I only used that command to try & delete that 1 folder. I removed all of the other files in konqueror by sending them to the trash :p
[17:30] <yusuo> evil-doer, i had this for a while while trying to boot inot a live cd, i downloaded a new copy and reinstalled worked fine
[17:30] <yusuo> i think its a problem with the disk reading something or another vague i know
[17:30] <Baughn> holyguyver: When you try to delete the file, the kernel will read it first in order to check its link count, which will fail due to the bad sector
[17:30] <user___> kingbilly: if you tell the person behind nat to initiate i would think yes
[17:31] <Baughn> holyguyver: If it'd just write to the sector, the disk would probably find a spare sector to use instead. But it won't do that.
[17:31] <mini-man> I just defragged and my problems with my wubi install being sluggish after a few hours of uptime aren't really resolved, and looking around google I found someone had luck with pci-nomsi - is that something that might work?
[17:31] <mini-man> or is it pointless?
[17:31] <user___> kingbilly: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-10sysadtips/?S_TACT=105AGX54&S_CMP=C0115&ca=dnw-1002&open&cm_mmc=4633-_-n-_-vrm_newsletter-_-10731_101108&cmibm_em=dm:0:6992641
[17:31] <Baughn> holyguyver: The only solution is to do a full wipe by writing to every sector on the disk without reading them first
[17:31] <geirha> Photoguy: the process using port 666 is winedevice.exe?
[17:31] <scunizi> yusuo, Interesting.. it's in hardy but not in intrepid.. maybe they incorporated it somehow as another name.
[17:31] <holyguyver> Baughn, I said earlier that it has allowed me to move that folder several times from within different folders to other folders.
[17:31] <yusuo> maybe
[17:31] <Photoguy> Oh, that's the one I want it to use.
[17:31] <Baughn> holyguyver: Nothing you can do to the mounted filesystem will do that, but a cat /dev/zero > t<the block device> will
[17:31] <Baughn> holyguyver: The folder is a different inode
[17:32] <SamIam> anyone know why firefox window locks at maximum size and cannot be changed?
[17:32] <yusuo> scunizi thanks anyway, google isnt helping i guess kde and start menu are common searches
[17:32] <Baughn> holyguyver: More to the point, moving a folder does not in any way change the folder, it just changes whatever folder you're moving from and to
[17:32] <Photoguy> geirha, Wineserver.exe is the process that I want to use with 666
[17:32] <holyguyver> Baughn, I think you are caught up so much in thinking that it is one thing that you are not even listening to me any more.
[17:32] <jtaji> SamIam: try hitting F11 a few times in Firefox
[17:32] <Baughn> holyguyver: Then can you get me the dmesg output I asked for half an hour ago
[17:33] <SamIam> k
[17:33] <Baughn> It'd prove it without a doubt, one way or the other.
[17:33] <holyguyver> Do I have to type in anything special to tell it which external harddrive to look at?
[17:33] <Baughn> No
[17:33] <Baughn> It's just the kernel log
[17:33] <Baughn> Do whatever delete operation fails again, then run dmesg and it'll be the last few lines in the log
[17:33] <SamIam> jtaji that did it, thanks!
[17:33] <yusuo> anyone know why 8.10 spits out disks when i try and burn a iso image input/output error
[17:34] <digitalpsyko> anyone in here using a Solid State Disk with 8.10?
[17:34] <geirha> Photoguy: the netstat command lists all ports that are currently used. With -nap, it also lists which processes are using them. I understood it as such that your program didn't work because that port was already in use?
[17:34] <kingbilly> user___: we are both behind nat, would that be a problem?  thanks for the link
[17:34] <Photoguy> geirha, yes
[17:34] <kingbilly> user___: i could def use the info from this link for other things too
[17:34] <jonaskoelker> hi.  I'm trying to use foxyproxy (apt-get installed), but get "Error writing settings file: /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.5/foxyproxy.xml. [...]".  What gives?
[17:34] <geirha> Photoguy: then the following should list the process (last field) which is using it. « netstat -nap | grep 666 »
[17:35] <user___> kingbilly: both behind nat i have no hands on experience so i would refer you to the group, sorry
[17:35] <holyguyver> Baughn, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/109048/
[17:35] <user___> kingbilly: yes, the title "10 most.." is valid
[17:35] <Baughn> holyguyver: Yeah, that's what I thought
[17:36] <Photoguy> geirha, sorry so "netstat -nap process_name grep 666
[17:36] <Baughn> holyguyver: As you see, there are a bunch of read errors, to different sectors
[17:36] <vigo> jonaskoelker: Just use the add plugins from within firefox.
[17:36] <Baughn> holyguyver: Importantly, to you, there are no /write/ errors. This means it's probably recoverable.
[17:36] <SodaKiller> ping?
[17:36] <holyguyver> Baughn, So, how well did it servive that fall?
[17:36] <geirha> Photoguy: no, exactly as I typed it: netstat -nap | grep 666
[17:37] <Baughn> holyguyver: (As I said, altering an inode in any way involves reading it first. Moving a directory around does not require altering the inode, though, just the parent inode that's probably fine.)
[17:37] <Baughn> holyguyver: Hmm. I can't tell from just that, you know. :P
[17:37] <Baughn> holyguyver: Looks like a head crash, but not a very serious one
[17:37] <SodaKiller> hello gents and perhaps ladies.
[17:38] <Baughn> holyguyver: Anyway. As root, type cat /dev/zero > /dev/sdg. If that succeeds (no i/o errors; no output at all, in fact), then your disk should be usable.
[17:38] <Baughn> holyguyver: At that point, however, you should run smartctl (smartctl -a /dev/sdg), paste its output and i'll interpret it for you. That'll give me some idea how long it'Ll last.
[17:38] <geirha> Photoguy: it should show you the pid and the name of the process using it now. With that information you can kill that process so that the port is freed up for your own program.
[17:39] <holyguyver> Baughn, I paid OnTrack 1600$ to get my data off of it, & they did, but now a year & a half later I want to try & use this harddrive too, so I am trying to refurbish it.
[17:39] <Baughn> holyguyver: Well, I've given you the instructions to do so, so..
[17:39] <holyguyver> Baughn, there is just one thing that prevents me from doing your instructions
[17:40] <Baughn> That would be?
[17:40] <SodaKiller> can somebody help me with dns?  i have webmin installed, and have 1 domain working fine with bind9, in webmin if i want to host another domain, do i have to create "Master Zone" ? (i've already got the apache side done)
[17:40] <tijoev> aloha, Iam trying to build xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.4.1-1ubuntu10_i386.deb. I have put deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid main into mu source.list but when I run apt-get install I receive a package not found error. How do I install a .deb with apt-get?
[17:40] <lstarnes> tijoev: use sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb
[17:40] <holyguyver> Baughn,  There is 500GBs of data on it, & although I can move that around on it, I cannot temperarily transfer it to another drive because I do not have that much space avalable anywhere else.
[17:41] <SodaKiller> i already have 1 master zone, if i want to host antoher domain, do i create another master zone or edit the existing zone?
[17:41] <Baughn> holyguyver: Oh, I forgot, you really really need to unmount the filesystem before running the wipe
[17:41] <holyguyver> Well based on what I just told you I cannot wipe it
[17:41] <Baughn> holyguyver: Eh. YEah, that would be a problem, but didn't you delete all the other directories already? Whatever..
[17:41] <tijoev> is package name the .deb file name?
[17:42] <holyguyver> Baughn, sort of, I moved all of the directories to other places on the drive.
[17:42] <Baughn> holyguyver: That's not how it works
[17:42] <sirius6b> did anybody setup VPN connection to Win server in Ubuntu? I followed steps listed in one article but I don't have "VPN" option in nm-applet.
[17:42] <Baughn> holyguyver: The directory tree has no particular resemblance to the sector layout. You may have moved the directories, but the data is exactly where it always was.
[17:42] <holyguyver> Baughn, you mean when I move a lamp the lamp doesn't really move?
[17:43] <Baughn> holyguyver: Okay, though. Alternate ideas.. it won't be as certain without a full wipe, but what's the filesystem in use on the disk? Ext3, maybe?
[17:43] <vigo> tijoev: Did you install the .deb installer from synaptic?
[17:43] <Baughn> holyguyver: I mean you haven't moved the lamp, you've moved a note that tells the kernel where to find the lamp
[17:43] <tijoev> I have tried that from the file I downloaded. It seemed to install without error. Yet, when I try to compile mythtv, I still get a dependency error for  xserver-xorg-video-via
[17:43] <holyguyver> Baughn, I wish it was ext3, but no it is ntfs.
[17:43] <Baughn> holyguyver: Although, in fact, you've moved the note that tells the kernel where to find the note to find the note to find the note.. to find the lamp
[17:44] <Baughn> holyguyver: Filesystems are /complex/. :P
[17:44] <SodaKiller> hmmm mythtv, that was a fun project
[17:44] <SodaKiller> tijoeb, why not use mythbuntu?
[17:44] <Baughn> holyguyver: Well, then there's no solution
[17:44] <SodaKiller> i meant tijoev
[17:44] <Baughn> holyguyver: I do have a piece of advice for you, however.
[17:44] <holyguyver> Baughn, Thankl you:D
[17:44] <Baughn> holyguyver: "The drive is failing. It is not reliable. Do not store data you can't afford to lose on it."
[17:45] <tijoev> SodaKiller: Kinda like to use the original
[17:45] <RocketLauncher> I use Transmission. Is tracker encryption on by default or not? Also what methods could I do to keep my ISP from SPYING ON me? (first question is more important than the second)
[17:45] <Baughn> holyguyver: Or even data that would slightly inconvenience you to lose.
[17:45] <Baughn> holyguyver: Disks are cheap. Get a new one.
[17:45] <SodaKiller> sorry to but in whats the problem tijoev,?
[17:45] <SodaKiller> i've done both
[17:45] <holyguyver> Baughn, you mean getting slambed into the ground will make a harddrive start to fail? :p
[17:46] <Baughn> holyguyver: Imagine that.
[17:47] <holyguyver> Baughn, I do not have a job, I do not have 5$ to my name at the moment & I still have to pay off that huge bill for getting all of the data backedup off of this destoryed harddrive a year ago.
[17:48] <vigo> tijoev: these were from the forums: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51003
[17:48] <Baughn> holyguyver: At this rate, you're heading for another $1600 bill.
[17:48] <tijoev> SodaKiller myth will not compile because of a  xserver-xorg-video-via dependency, I have loade xserver, xerser-core and now tying to load xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.4.1-1ubuntu10_i386.deb. That .deb file that I downloade and ran dphg --install on seemed to install but the compile still failed becasue of the denpendency. I am now trying to install the .deb using apt-get from the web but keep getting apackage not found error
[17:49] <holyguyver> Baughn, to put things into perspective my monitor is not a flat screen, it is about one foot thick. & this christmas I just got my very first digital camera.
[17:49] <RocketLauncher> I didn't get an answer yet. inb4 ubottu
[17:50] <Baughn> holyguyver: Well, it doesn"t sound like you have any good options, but I can't suggest anything more.
[17:50] <Baughn> holyguyver: If you'd been using ext[2-4], a forced-full fsck might have fixed it
[17:50] <holyguyver> Baughn, I could not have another bill like that because all of the data on the failing hardrive is backed up on the new harddrive I got a year ago from the company I paid that bill to.
[17:51] <SodaKiller> tijoev- > are you using onboard video?
[17:52] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  In /etc/apt/preferences, I want to express a preference for intrepid over jaunty.  When jaunty comes out, I want Jaunty over KK.  How do I express the preference such that I don't have to edit /etc/apt/preferences when Jaunty comes out?
[17:52] <jonaskoelker> ... In other words, what are the ubuntu names for stable/testing/unstable?
[17:52] <tijoev> SodaKiller no, nVidia with GeForce card
[17:53] <tijoev> don't think I nned this for operatiom of my system, just to compile mythtv
[17:53] <MisterKM> hey all, question for y'all, trying to get the easycam2 to install, it says i need "cheese"
[17:53] <SodaKiller> yes this is not required
[17:53] <SodaKiller> you shouldn't have to install that
[17:53] <holyguyver> Baughn, what would happen if I repartisioned part of the disk, & made it ext3, moved all of the files to it, then wiped the old partition & moved the files back?
[17:54] <SodaKiller> i got it working fine, compiling it from source
[17:54] <jonaskoelker> how do I comment out records in /etc/apt/preferences?
[17:54] <jonaskoelker> hashes makes apt-get barf: E: Invalid record in the preferences file, no Package header
[17:54] <Baughn> holyguyver: There's a good chance the repartitioning would crash catastrophically if it hit the bad sectors
[17:55] <tijoev> compiling from source? meaning downloading the tarball and using ./configure, make, make install? I'm new to debian style
[17:55] <holyguyver> Baughn, how many sectors are bad?
[17:55] <Baughn> holyguyver: You'll have to run badblocks to find out. Let's see..
[17:56] <holyguyver> how do I run badblocks?
[17:56] <Baughn> holyguyver: Unmount the filesystem, then run badblocks /dev/sdg
[17:56] <SodaKiller> tijoev -> yea you can do that fun stuff and get it working, if you want to use apt-get, i've got it working too with a nvidia card.  are you following a ubuntu guide?
[17:57] <Baughn> holyguyver: Actually, not quite
[17:57] <Baughn> holyguyver: badblocks -b 512 /dev/sdg
[17:57] <gaotian> hello
[17:57] <tijoev> ubuntu guide for mythtv
[17:58] <holyguyver> it just told me it cannot unmount it, what is the command to force it to unmount
[17:58] <SodaKiller> tijoev, you have unbuntu installed without any issues right?
[17:58] <Kiption> sudo umount <path to mounted folder>
[17:59] <Baughn> holyguyver: You don't actually have to unmount it. That's only for read-write tests, and it defaults to read-only.
[17:59] <tijoev> according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/xserver-xorg-video-intel/download all I had to do was add deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid main    to my source.list and run apt-get. But I get a cannot find package error
[17:59] <tijoev> yes ubuntu installed without any issues
[17:59] <SodaKiller> please check this out, it will make your life easier.
[17:59] <bsnyder> i'm trying to install 8.10 desktop on an ibm netvista and faling - 1) boot from cd, 2) select english, 3) select install, 4) monitor powers off
[17:59] <SodaKiller> http://www.mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu
[17:59] <holyguyver> Baughn, badblocks -b 512 /dev/sdg badblocks: Permission denied while trying to determine device size
[17:59] <Baughn> holyguyver: But if it can't unmount the filesystem, that's because some application, somewhere, has a file or directory on that filesystem open. A nautilus window, a bash shell, something..
[18:00] <Baughn> holyguyver: Prepend a sudo.
[18:00] <SodaKiller> so tijoev- you can install mythtv easily with an existing ubuntu install
[18:00] <bsnyder> i can't figure out why the monitor keeps powering off - the pc seems to just be completely idle (no activity on cd drive)
[18:00] <bsnyder> does anyone have any suggestions?
[18:00] <SodaKiller> it's a graphical way to install mythtv on an existiing ubuntu install
[18:01] <gerber> how samba work ?
[18:01] <exodus_ms> !samba
[18:01] <holyguyver> Baughn, now it is taking a long time thinking before it tells me anything
[18:01] <SodaKiller> that way you get to keep your ubuntu =)
[18:01] <Baughn> holyguyver: It does need to scan the entire disk. It'll take a few hours, probably.
[18:01] <holyguyver> Baughn, you could have told me that :p
[18:02] <iJoh> Help! Most of my system icons and themes are gone! What happened!?
[18:02] <jonaskoelker> how do I make firefox start in on-line mode?
[18:02] <scizzo-> anyone has any idea why I get this when I try to connect my phone to the computer: http://pastebin.com/m6dc13065
[18:02] <SodaKiller> you see what i mean tijoewV?
[18:02] <tijoev> SodaKiller thanks. will keep it as an option but would like to figure this out. I enjoy the learning process ;0
[18:02] <spill> I'm setting up an Acer 4530 for a friend with ubuntu 8.10, he's runing vista and ubuntu and would like vista to be the first boot machine in the grub loader, whats the faster way to do that?
[18:02] <sana> i seemed to have lost the top of a window....now i can't move the windows around...does anyone know what I could have changed to cause this? I was messing around with compiz settings
[18:02] <holyguyver> Well then, well it is doing that I am going to go to bed, see you with the results in about 5 hours.
[18:02] <iJoh> the only theme left is the currently applied, and half of my applied icon set is missing too!
[18:02] <cars__> Hi, for some reason title bars are not appearing on any of my windows, nor are the window commands (minimize, maximize, etc.).  What can I try first?
[18:03] <IndyGunFreak> spill: it'd be easier to set it to boot windows by default, so if he didn't choose anything, he'd boot windows.
[18:03] <cars__> sana, your problem seems to be the same as mine.
[18:03] <IndyGunFreak> spill: changing the order, would probably be more difficult, just because of the way grub is set up.
[18:03] <sana> have u figured out how to fix it?
[18:03] <exodus_ms> cars__: try f11
[18:03] <cars__> sana, I think it might have to do with compiz settings as well.
[18:03] <holyguyver> Baughn, Well then, well it is doing that I am going to go to bed, see you with the results in about 5 hours.
[18:03] <MisterKM> Can anyone tell me what "cheese"
[18:04] <MisterKM> is
[18:04] <cars__> exodus_ms, just pressing it?  No effect.
[18:04] <spill> IndyGunFreak: I allready did the install already, vista was on the laptop so when I installed ubuntu it was the first os in the loader
[18:04] <sana> ya
[18:04] <KenBW2> whats the Windows app called that's like the opposite of WINE?
[18:04] <sana> no eefect
[18:04] <exodus_ms> cars__: ok, thought maybe the window had opened in 'fullscreen'
[18:04] <IndyGunFreak> spill: ok, so why does it matter what order they are in in grub?..
[18:04] <lifenova> KenBW2: Wubi?
[18:04] <SodaKiller> tijoev -> using this method, will get all your issues resolved with dependicies.  and best of all your using ubuntu and not a varriant of ubuntu.  just a graphical way.  if you want to the real challenge, install it from source ;)  anyway, atleast i have given you a fall back method, when all your brain is fried .... get it done with this method lol
[18:05] <spill> well, he just wants the time multiboot menu to default with vista instead of having to scroll down and select it.
[18:05] <KenBW2> lifenova: no, for installing Linux apps in Windows
[18:05] <SodaKiller> anybody with my dns question?
[18:05] <sana> its just any regular window
[18:06] <Baughn> KenBW2: Cygwin
[18:06] <KenBW2> Baughn: ah yes, thanks
[18:06] <SodaKiller> i have bind9 installed, (using webmin) to manage bind9.  i have 1 domain hosted and working find with bind9.  i want to host another domain, do i have to create another "master zone" or edit the existing master zone?
[18:06] <Catscrash> hi
[18:06] <Catscrash> my server has not responded to ssh / pings / http or whatelse for about 5 hours, now it responses again and i read this in /var/log/messages:
[18:06] <cars__> sana, every window has no borders or title - it appears just like the gksudo window, only it doesn't grey the screen, right?
[18:06] <SodaKiller> i've already done the apache2 work, just not sure how to get bind9 working with more than 1 domain
[18:07] <Catscrash> [128232.280013] TCP: Treason uncloaked! Peer 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:5b27:ba82:3439/22 shrinks window 742462619:742466975. Repaired.
[18:07] <Baughn> Catscrash: Not relevant.
[18:07] <sana> yup
[18:07] <Catscrash> mhm, so that's not the reason for not beeing available?
[18:07] <exodus_ms> cars__: still having probs try this itmight it --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109056/
[18:07] <lifenova> cars__: System -> Prefs -> Appearance -> Visual Effects and check Normal
[18:07] <Baughn> Catscrash: Nope, but it is a sign of a bad router or OS somewhere
[18:07] <Catscrash> ok
[18:07] <Baughn> Catscrash: ..not, in any case, something that actually affects you.
[18:08] <cars__> sana, try this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109056/
[18:08] <Catscrash> well, could it be my fritzbox that is somehow broken, triggered that events and didn't forward me to my server?
[18:08] <sana> i am
[18:09] <cars__> How odd, xterm is just a white box.
[18:09] <RocketLauncher> I use Transmission. Is tracker encryption on by default or not? Also what methods could I do to keep my ISP from SPYING ON me? I suggest PMing me (you dont have to)
[18:09] <Baughn> Catscrash: Look elsewhere. A shrunken window would only reduce network speed for that particular connection, it does not in any way /stop/ it.
[18:10] <RocketLauncher> cars__: xterm IS Just a white box
[18:10] <Baughn> Catscrash: And it wouldn't affect ping at all
[18:10] <n8tuser> RocketLauncher -> what indications you have they are spying on you?
[18:10] <Catscrash> okay thank you
[18:11] <JoelOw> does ifconfig have anything to do with wireless connections?
[18:11] <SodaKiller> i'm just not sure if i have to create a new master zone for a new domain, or do i edit the existing master zone?
[18:11] <RocketLauncher> n8tuser: Letter saying TWO OFFENSES of games I dwonloaded off public trackers :( Far Cry and Resident Evil 4 (horrible port, I didn't even play it)
[18:11] <JoelOw> i used netowrk manager in gnome to connect to wireless, then kiled x and returned to console, and theres no settings in iwconfig, only in ifconfig, which seemed strange?
[18:12] <n8tuser> JoelOw -> if your wireless and wired are on same subnet, it will affect the routing
[18:12] <cars__> RocketLauncher, No, a white box with no features at all.  No text, no prompt, no borders, no titlebar. Even the gksudo box is the same way.  Hopefully exodus's paste will fix it.
[18:12] <RocketLauncher> cars__: Are you on a mac
[18:12] <n8tuser> RocketLauncher -> you received a letter from your ISP re those with those subjects?
[18:12] <jonaskoelker> hi all.  I'm trying to access springerlink articles from home by using FoxyProxy to tunnel my connections through "ssh -D 9999 myuniversity".  When I access springerlink from "ssh myuniversity elinks" it works fine, when I do "ssh -D 9999 myuniversity" and use foxyproxy, springerlink asks me to log in
[18:12] <cars__> RocketLauncher, no, I think it's a compiz problem.
[18:12] <marije61> ciau xD
[18:13] <jonaskoelker> what am I doing wrong?
[18:13] <marije61> !list
[18:13] <RocketLauncher> n8tuser: yeah

[18:15] <bsnyder> i have even tried all alternate options for noapic and the monitor is still powering off - any suggestions?
[18:15] <RocketLauncher> n8tuser: The log's pretty big, nobody will know. ;)
[18:15] <cars__> RocketLauncher, even if you hadn't, you're in a room with 1420 other people.  You can't expect it to be private.
[18:15] <raindrop> Since I gave up Fedora for Ubuntu, my laptop has never been easier to use. So I decided to clobber my RHEL server and put Ubuntu Server on.
[18:15] <SodaKiller> what's private?
[18:15] <Anonymous> Now what
[18:15] <n8tuser> RocketLauncher -> easily can be parsed with filters, specially with your nick RocketLauncher

[18:17] <RocketLauncher> joaospinto: And then what do I do once I have deluge?
[18:18] <n8tuser> RocketLauncher -> well am curious as to what they have told you, to stop and ceased or says you have to pay up?
[18:18] <RocketLauncher> n8tuser: Hold on, I'll read it again
[18:18] <joaospinto> rocketlauncher what is your problem (i didnt read the hole thing)
[18:19] <n8tuser> joaospinto -> he is worried about a letter he received from his ISP
[18:19] <n8tuser> he was told being a nootee boy :P
[18:19] <guntbert> n8tuser: are you sure the discussion with RocketLauncher is on topic? :)
[18:20] <n8tuser> guntbert -> we'll all learn from the experience

[18:20] <lstarnes> !piracy
[18:20] <RocketLauncher> n8tuser: It just says to call them within 10 days or they take away my internets
[18:20] <SodaKiller> anybody using bind?
[18:20] <dayo> SodaKiller: i just might, one of these days. pdns is proving to be a bitch.
[18:20] <guntbert> n8tuser: still..., though I'm curious too :)
[18:20] <RocketLauncher> joaospinto: I got 2 offenses for downloading games from my ISP and I need to prevent a third ne
[18:21] <lstarnes> RocketLauncher: then don't break your IS{

[18:21] <jrib> RocketLauncher: so don't download games
[18:21] <lstarnes> RocketLauncher: *ISP's rules
[18:21] <Dante123> hi all, I keep getting d'ced when in Pidgin.  Could this be ISP doing this?
[18:21] <Jausenbrot> has anybody a working startup script for hamachi?
[18:21] <RocketLauncher> lstarnes: What about rapidshares and usenet? Can I get caught there?
[18:21] <evil-doer> well thats weird. i just had to boot into windows then reboot into ubuntu and now its working. this wubi thing is very buggy
[18:21] <RocketLauncher> mindnull: WOW (Wideopenwest)
[18:21] <lstarnes> RocketLauncher: yes
[18:21] <Dante123> Rest of internet still works- just pidgin dc'es and I have to quit it and restart it
[18:22] <jrib> RocketLauncher: this channel is for ubuntu support, not piracy support.  Please stop discussing this here
[18:22] <cars__> RocketLauncher, You can get caught whatever you're doing.  Just don't do it and you'll be fine.
[18:22] <mc_oswel> Help me. I can't install WoW on my ubuntu. The setup.exe can't execute. -Juz kidding- :P

[18:22] <dayo> sorry
[18:22] <joaospinto> rocketlauncher deluge allows you to encrypt completely bittorrent file transfer
[18:22] <joaospinto> and you should buy games by the way
[18:22] <Dante123> n8tuser I guess I could try another client and see if the problem persists...thanks.

[18:24] <bsnyder> i'm trying to install 8.10 desktop on an ibm netvista and faling - 1) boot from cd, 2) select english, 3) select install, 4) monitor powers off
[18:24] <bsnyder> i have even tried all alternate options for noapic and the monitor is still powering off - any suggestions?
[18:24] <Cpudan80> Hello all
[18:24] <bsnyder> DasEi: ^^^
[18:24] <n8tuser> bsnyder -> perhaps its taking its sweet time? you waited long enuff?
[18:24] <DasEi> ﻿ bsnyder: did you verify the installer (bootmenu) ?
[18:25] <Cpudan80> Is there a way to permanently disable mouse keys in 8.10? They keep turning on every time I reboot the computer
[18:25] <bsnyder> n8tuser: i've waited 5 mins or so for any activity from the cd drive
[18:25] <Conic> I'm having serious problems
[18:25] <bsnyder> DasEi: verify the installer???
[18:25] <Conic> I get BOOTMGR IS MISSING, PRESS CTRL-ALT-DELETE TO RESTART.
[18:25] <n8tuser> bsnyder -> maybe try 6 ? just saying maybe wait long enuff?
[18:25] <Conic> And I don't have Vista.
[18:25] <DasEi> ﻿ bsnyder: yes, its an option on the installer cd
[18:25] <mabafu> hi there
[18:26] <bsnyder> n8tuser: i'll try to wait longer
[18:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Conic was this a wubi based install
[18:26] <bsnyder> DasEi: i'll look into that as well
[18:26] <Conic> No
[18:26] <bsnyder> back in a moment
[18:26] <kemix> helo all
[18:26] <DasEi> ﻿ bsnyder: check media for defects
[18:26] <Conic> It was not, it's a regular install.
[18:26] <mabafu> I'm trying to make a persistent flash drive, but have some issues... anybody may help me?
[18:26] <Conic> But.
[18:26] <kemix> how to make firefox faster
[18:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Conic Please keep responses on ONE line..
[18:26] <n8tuser> Cpudan80 -> i dont know about mouse keys, but do they have entries in your xorg.conf?  remove it from there?
[18:26] <bsnyder> DasEi: oh that's to verify the media - i've already installed another pc w/ these disks so i know it's ok
[18:26] <Conic> I can only boot by changing the "sata mode" to "raid,"
[18:27] <Jack_Sparrow> mabafu pendrivelinux.com
[18:27] <mabafu> i've found: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[18:27] <Conic> It stopped working when I changed it back to IDE to boot Windows.
[18:27] <mabafu> there is a elegant solution to hide the iso image...
[18:27] <n8tuser> kemix -> i have an idea, not sure if it will work, but you can try to install firefox in a tempfs  and run it from there?
[18:27] <Cpudan80> n8tuser: no
[18:28] <Conic> Even when I changed it back to RAID, it didn't work.
[18:28] <mabafu> altought i cant make grub work properlly
[18:28] <Cpudan80> n8tuser: its a preference under system --> pref --> keyboard --> mouse keys
[18:28] <DasEi> ﻿ bsnyder: if youre sure cd is right, try the alternate installer, that does mostly on exotic hw
[18:28] <bsnyder> DasEi: thanks, i'll give that a shot
[18:28] <Dante123> does ubuntu livecd show windows partitions automatically??  Does it mount them automatically upon bootup?
[18:29] <Cpudan80> Dante123: yes
[18:29] <a931bw> Why i'm can't enable desctop effects?
[18:29] <Conic> Eh, does anyone know how I can fix this?
[18:29] <Conic> Bootmgr is missing?
[18:29] <n8tuser> Cpudan80 -> oh i see it on mine, and I can not even enable it, its greyed out on mine, anyhow , dont know anything about that one
[18:29] <mabafu> Dante123: they should be listed on "Locals"... but unmounted. You can mount them with a click
[18:29] <Conic> Is it a BIOS error, or a Windows error?
[18:30] <a931bw> Why i'm can't enable desctop effects?
[18:30] <Conic> Install your drivers.
[18:30] <Heme^> any specific channel for network related issues?
[18:30] <a931bw> already
[18:30] <n8tuser> Dante123 -> umm livecd?  it does not mount any of your partitions on your hard disk automatically, you have to do manually
[18:31] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> ubuntu related issues? clarify the problem please
[18:31] <Heme^> ndiswrapper got my wireless working but it still wont connect to the internet
[18:31] <a931bw> Why i'm can't enable desctop effects? all drivers enabled
[18:31] <Heme^> as in wlan works, wired wont
[18:31] <DasEi> ﻿ Conic: soft-problem, bootmanager
[18:32] <nathan_406> hello! can someone please tell me a go voice recognition system
[18:32] <nathan_406> good*
[18:32] <Conic> And how can I fix it?
[18:32] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> wlan works? wired wont?  can you post in pastebin your    ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n ,  sudo lshw -C network   results
[18:33] <Heme^> well not yet, am in XP again
[18:33] <Heme^> what all info I need to grab from ubuntu
[18:33] <tsrk> How is the upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10?  Does it cause problems?  Is reinstalling a better idea?
[18:33] <n8tuser> Heme^ ->   can you post in pastebin your    "ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n ,  sudo lshw -C"   network   results
[18:34] <n8tuser> tsrk -> my honest opinion, do not do it unless you have very good reasons
[18:34] <a931bw> Why i'm can't enable desctop effects?
[18:34] <tsrk> n8tuser, you would suggest staying with 8.04?
[18:34] <a931bw> Desktop))
[18:34] <DasEi> Conic install grub, write : !grub into this channel
[18:34] <Conic> !grub
[18:35] <n8tuser> tsrk -> yes, for stability, hang around here for a few hours and watch what they complain about after the upgrade
[18:35] <Conic> Okay, thanks
[18:35] <Conic> I don't want to have to do this every time I want to boot into Windows, though
[18:35] <DasEi> Conic: you may also google for super grub disk, a very handy tool
[18:35] <tsrk> n8tuser, ok, thanks for the warning, are the problems caused by the upgrade or the new version itself?  would i have those problems if i do a fresh install?
[18:35] <Photoguy> Would it be dangerous to end this process?  "unix  3      [ ]         STREAM     CONNECTED     14756    4666/avahi-daemon: "
[18:36] <n8tuser> Conic -> am curious as to what you said, you can switch a sata drive from ide to what else?
[18:36] <Photoguy> And if so, how
[18:36] <nathan_406>  i need a voice recognition system
[18:36] <Conic> Uh, it's the Inspiron 530s
[18:36] <Conic> It sucks.
[18:36] <DasEi> Conic: once you installed grub properly, you can choose at bootup which sys to use
[18:36] <n8tuser> tsrk -> i dont know the major cause, but hang around or google around for update issues
[18:36] <Conic> The problem is that whenever I change the mode, it messes up everything.
[18:36] <Conic> And I get that error.
[18:36] <tsrk> n8tuser, ok, thank you very much
[18:36] <a931bw> Why i'm can't enable desctop effects?
[18:37] <DasEi> Conic:sure, drive won't be identified then
[18:37] <Conic> Huh.
[18:37] <n8tuser> nathan_406 -> umm i happen to notice that on xp and vista, dont know if they have those on ubuntu...am wanting to know too, i have a client that can make use of it
[18:37] <Conic> I need RAID drivers for my hardware in my Windows, now, I guess.
[18:38] <Guest14482> nightrid3r, you there dog
[18:38] <DasEi> Conic:the bootmanager does it either by devicename /dev/sdXX , hd(x,x) or blkid,  which changes if you change the interface
[18:39] <iJoh> How do I restore my system to an earlier state if I haven't manually created any type of restore points or whatever linux uses
[18:40] <Cpudan80> iJoh: ehhh
[18:40] <iJoh> Installed some things today which messed up some graphics badly and I want to restore to before... if that's possible :/
[18:40] <aldipc> ijoh: you don't
[18:40] <Cpudan80> iJoh: Linux doesn't do that type of thing ... you'd have to have a manual back up
[18:40] <Cpudan80> iJoh: Sounds like you messed up your xorg.conf file
[18:40] <iJoh> dam, I'm screwed hard then
[18:40] <aldipc> go to synaptics and unclick all those things you installed
[18:40] <iJoh> Cpudan80, no it's not xorg
[18:40] <iJoh> in fact, I don't really know what it is since I've installed a lot today
[18:41] <Cpudan80> iJoh: are you sure? Graphics problems are almost always xorg related
[18:41] <aldipc> ijoh: then reinstall
[18:41] <aldipc> sorry
[18:41] <Colin2508> hi
[18:41] <Colin2508> Exists ubuntu in Russian?
[18:41] <Pici> !ru
[18:41] <iJoh> my system stopped recognizing and using .SVG files, so icons and themes won't work. Sorry about "graphics", I was talking about painted-on-paper graphics
[18:41] <Colin2508> thx
[18:42] <iJoh> aldipc, I'd rather not do a reinstall, it takes forever to reconfigure
[18:42] <adrian_> ady
[18:42] <aldipc> ijoh, then go to synaptics and deinstall the stuff you installed having to do with graphics
[18:42] <aldipc> or go to hardware drivers and deinstall the proprietary drivers...
[18:43] <aldipc> ijoh: if you happened to fiddle with the drivers..
[18:43] <iJoh> aldipc, I'm saying that my icons and themes doesn't work because the system won't recognize .SVG anymore. Hardware has nothing to do with this
[18:43] <iJoh> want a screenshot?
[18:44] <actionshrimp> is there a way to turn off compiz effects for one window?
[18:44] <aldipc> ijoh: then you need to really understand what you are doing to get it working again, or reinstall
[18:44] <Conic> I want to dual boot XP and Ubuntu
[18:44] <iJoh> I updated GTK+ and a lot of libraries and stuff, I've already tried reinstalling half of synaptic
[18:45] <DasEi> ijoh:which version ubuntu ?
[18:45] <Conic> But I have to change SATA mode whenever I switch.
[18:45] <DasEi> Conic: why ?
[18:45] <Conic> But whenever I do that, it messes up my bootmgr.
[18:45] <meoblast001> what is a buffer i/o error on device fd0
[18:45] <Conic> Because I have crappy hardware.
[18:45] <Conic> It hates Linux.
[18:45] <DasEi> meoblast001: a fs-problem on floppy
[18:45] <guntbert> iJoh: who stoppe reconizing svg?
[18:46] <guntbert> *stopped
[18:46] <tereg> I'm using a Dell Dimension E310 with Intrepid under 2.6.27-9-generic.  When I shutdown/power off from either the gdm login screen, or shutting down after logging in, the computer will not power off completely.  The last message the terminal output shows is "Will now halt", after which the CPU fan accelerates to top speed, the power light remains on and other hardware devices still have power.  However, if I issue a shutdown command after booting into recovery 
[18:46] <iJoh> guntbert, my system
[18:46] <srx2002> ok,,,, I'll explain my situation...see if anyone has a solution : I have a desktop PC, I have Xp installed on a 100 gig maxtor IDE drive ( on motherboard )  I then hooked up a Via PCI SATA card and hooked up my new 320 WD SATA hard drive to it.   I then rebooted the machine with both drives attached, inserted the Ubuntu LIVE cd.....during the install Ubuntu Live found both the 100 and 320 ( sata PCI card )   I choose
[18:46] <srx2002> to install to the new 320.....the installation went fine...I rebooted....and NOTHING.....It just boots to the IDE XP drive
[18:46] <Terminal> Has anyone ran into any issues while doing a fresh install the the ext3 partition when the automated partition manager gets to about 5%?
[18:46] <srx2002> any suggestions?
[18:47] <DasEi> Terminal: no
[18:47] <guntbert> iJoh: there is no thing as "my system", but there is a lot of applications, which of them is supposed to recognize svg and doesn't?
[18:47] <Terminal> is that possibly a hardware issue? Its a brand new HD..
[18:48] <iJoh> guntbert, http://i43.tinypic.com/35jdsfa.png
[18:48] <DasEi> srx2002: bios > bootsequenz > 320 first
[18:48] <miranda_psi> srx2002: where did you choose to install the boot loader?
[18:48] <Mean_Admin> are these okay options in fstab for a mounted hdd that will be basically storage:  rw,sync,auto,user ?
[18:48] <BellinXFelon> hey can someone help me with putting mp3 music on my phone through usb?
[18:48] <srx2002> you cant select 320 first ( SATA PCI CARD )
[18:48] <DasEi> Mean_Admin: yes
[18:49] <Mean_Admin> DasEi: thanks for confirmaiton :)
[18:49] <srx2002> miranda_psi: during the setup it never mentioned anything about where to install bootoader
[18:49] <iJoh> actionshrimp, I don't know how to do it globally to every effect in compiz, but you could try (any) & !(class=XXX) where XXX is where you use "grab window class". That's my guess
[18:49] <kon> Hello folks
[18:50] <laeg> is there a way to check if my board supportm sata 3 through ubuntu?
[18:50] <actionshrimp> ah ok, ill have a play, thanks iJoh
[18:50] <guntbert> iJoh: I see, myself I don't care too much about icons, but at first you could look if the files are still there
[18:50] <Terminal> Also, is there a quick and easy command line that works better than xrandr? I'm having video card/monitor issues, Xrandr cant open the display, and a xorg reconfig isnt working... Basically i want to revert to safe mode type drivers within the xorg w/o having to manually edit it. Is this possible?
[18:50] <DasEi> srx2002: then you have install grub on hd0, maybe go to #grub before and ask for later including windows again, supergrubdisk could help you
[18:50] <TWTNW> hi!
[18:50] <xkpe> hi, i just installed ubuntu on my old laptop but its looks very slow, specialy moving windows, the graphics card is an intel onboard
[18:50] <uniouser> i am trying to open some colinux files on ubuntu
[18:50] <iJoh> guntbert, they are there but they're displayed as their 32px .png icon in nautilus and I can't view the icon itself
[18:51] <uniouser> i have tried mounting them as iso but no cookies
[18:51] <Terminal> like a quick and easy revert to vesa driver command?
[18:51] <Mean_Admin> merde, trying to mount something and apparently it isn't ext3. how can I tell what it's formated as so that I can edit fstab properly ?
[18:51] <n8tuser> Terminal -> man dexconf
[18:51] <miranda_psi> srx2002: its an advanced option - since you went with the default it will be on the 320.  You can try reinstall grub and and telling it to install on the ide disk boot partition
[18:52] <Terminal> sweet thnx n8tuser!
[18:52] <Terminal> ill give it a try
[18:52] <ezerhoden__> Mean_Admin: check fdisk, or try and use -t auto
[18:52] <srx2002> dang
[18:52] <TWTNW> I have a problem with firefox....
[18:53] <Mean_Admin> ezerhoden__: -t auto isn't going to turn my hdd into plump pudding ?
[18:53] <miranda_psi> !ask | TWTNW
[18:53] <guntbert> iJoh: sorry then, I never cared about icons so I'm being no help :(
[18:53] <n8tuser> uniouser -> if you   file  filename  what does it tell you?
[18:54] <ezerhoden__> Mean_Admin: no, it will take an educated guess. man mount if you want to read about it
[18:54] <Mean_Admin> ezerhoden__: right thanks

I've downloaded and run dmraid to set them up in a fakeRAID, but despite the fact that I've set it up to RAID 0 at the controller level gparted shows the array size as 233.76GiB as well. What did I do wrong, and how can I fix this?
[18:57] <TWTNW> well...I tried to ably the -fc option in xcompmgr, but it enlarged spaces in applications' texts...like this: http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=schermata2my0.png

[19:00] <Mean_Admin> DasEi: I did indeed
[19:00] <guntbert> laeg: you can type 'your_cmd | less' to see all, when you had enough finish with q
[19:01] <TWTNW> do anybody know how to solve the problem?

[19:01] <DasEi> Mean_Admin: sudo mount  /dev/sda5  "/mnt/wherever"  doesn't work ?
[19:02] <guntbert> TWTNW: maybe you should restate your question all in one line, so that all can see it
[19:02] <Mean_Admin> DasEi: well, just "sudo mount /dev/sda   /media/library/ " not work cause it says it needs to know the filesystem

[19:04] <Mean_Admin> DasEi: so I have to tell fstab or 'mount' to just mount /dev/sda/sd1 for exameple??
[19:04] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: does it do it on all pages?
[19:05] <TWTNW> yes!
[19:05] <ActionParsnip1> Mean_Admin: its /dev/sda1
[19:05] <Heme^> n8tuser, got the data, where you want it?

[19:11] <RegressLess1> lstarnes: It has that stupid button system, rather than the address.
[19:11] <ActionParsnip1> timri: is the samba share on the local system or on a remote system?

[19:14] <TWTNW> I also tried to change theme, but nothing!
[19:14] <Tekumel> Well that's not it then!
[19:14] <Heme^> n8tuser, missed the network in the end, boot again it is
[19:15] <n8tuser> DVA5912 -> but for one shot kind of thing use tools like netcat  nc
[19:15] <timri> Tekumel: Besides, I CAN use illegal tokens like a colon in a name.
[19:15] <DVA5912> n8tuser: ok installed that and the gtk manager but it wont open. error: faild to execute child process su-to-root no file.directory found
[19:15] <ActionParsnip1> timri: try smb://servername/sharename in your file browser, then create the folder as normal
[19:15] <DVA5912> n8tuser, installed proftpd^^
[19:15] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: please type my name and tab complete it so it highlights like i'm doing for you
[19:15] <n8tuser> DVA5912 -> how did you install proftpd ?
[19:15] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: help -> about firefox
[19:15] <RegressLess1> lstarnes: Ok, it spat out a bunch of stuff along with this:    IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'runme.py'
[19:15] <DVA5912> n8tuser: Synaptic
[19:16] <TWTNW> ok...
[19:16] <RegressLess1> lstarnes: Ther runme.py is there
[19:16] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: ok...
[19:16] <lstarnes> RegressLess1: did you cd to that directory?
[19:16] <n8tuser> DVA5912 -> what did synaptic status was when you tried?
[19:16] <you_had_me> Hello does anyone use Unetbootin?
[19:16] <DVA5912> n8tuser: ?
[19:16] <n8tuser> DVA5912 -> what did synaptic status tell you was when you tried?
[19:16] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: firefox 3.0.5
[19:16] <grafixbadnow> does anyone know of a way to troubleshoot video plugins? I can play most--but not all-- mpegs.
[19:16] <TheMasterMind> hey all, how do i get sun java on ubuntu/
[19:17] <n8tuser> you_had_me -> you have googled for a tutorial on that?
[19:17] <DVA5912> n8tuser: when i tryed to install? It didnt say nothing..
[19:17] <you_had_me> it was just a question n8tuser but i will give google a try i guess
[19:17] <grafixbadnow> master... I got mine from medibuntu repositories
[19:17] <n8tuser> TheMasterMind -> usually  sudo apt-get install sun-java-jre
[19:17] <RegressLess1> lstarnes: About that, I didn't understand what you meant for me to do with that cd command.
[19:17] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: ok thats the stable release
[19:17] <FloridaGuy> something odd...anyone ever hear of a pc that will run linux....but install windows and windows wont run
[19:17] <TheMasterMind> ok
[19:17] <n8tuser> DVA5912 -> so it successfully completed ?
[19:17] <timri> ActionParsnip1: sorry, cant try that atm ( I use thunar for file management). Besides: wont gvfs/kio etc use libsmbclient like smbclient does? Note: I have tried it using smbnetfs (FUSE thingy), but that wont allow me to create the folder as well.
[19:17] <DVA5912> n8tuser: yes
[19:18] <lstarnes> RegressLess1: cd /directory/to/switch/to
[19:18] <Asmob> i cant connect to my network i can see it but i cant connect..
[19:18] <n8tuser> DVA5912 -> then time to google for how to configure proftpd
[19:18] <lstarnes> RegressLess1: it changes the active directory of the terminal and anything run by iy
[19:18] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: it isn't just on web pages...it's also on application's texts
[19:18] <TheMasterMind> n8tuser: m error came up - could not find package.
[19:18] <lstarnes> *it
[19:18] <grafixbadnow> asmob> wireless or wired?
[19:18] <ActionParsnip1> timri: ive always use the file browser
[19:18] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: like Settings, menus, etc.
[19:18] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: hmm interesting
[19:19] <n8tuser> TheMasterMind -> usually  sudo apt-cache search sun-java    and pick from the selection of what to install, i gave you the install command previously
[19:19] <Mean_Admin> DasEi: all right! totally worked 1
[19:19] <Mean_Admin> !
[19:19] <DasEi> Mean_Admin: nice
[19:19] <Mean_Admin> DasEi: thanks dude :)
[19:19] <n8tuser> Asmob -> clarify please, ethernet? wireless? describe your layout
[19:20] <Asmob> grafixbadnow: wireless i see my network but i cant conet when i nsert password
[19:20] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: are you using a different theme?
[19:20] <timri> ActionParsnip1: Ok, one second, i'll re-install nautilus
[19:20] <grafixbadnow> asmob> are you setting it up as secured wireless? (i had similar probs)
[19:20] <Tekumel> Does anybody know why dmraid would set up a 251.0GB stripe RAID when both drives are 251GB and it's set to RAID 0 at the controller level?
[19:20] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1:  yes, I'm using iFox
[19:20] <ActionParsnip1> timri: try it in thunar too
[19:20] <Asmob> grafixbadnow: yes
[19:20] <RegressLess1> lstarnes:  I think you are under the impression that I know what I am doing still.   cd /directory/to/switch/to does nothing by itself. Can you tell me what the rest of the command is. All of the files are in /home/mike/Public/Extracted
[19:20] <Asmob> grafixbadnow: wpa2
[19:20] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: no i meant in ubuntu in general
[19:21] <timri> ActionParsnip1: Thunar does not understand smb:/ URIs
[19:21] <lstarnes> RegressLess1: cd /home/mike/Public/Extracted
[19:21] <jacik> How can I control remote desktop via NAT. Is there any easy solution?
[19:21] <raboof> how much disk space is generally needed to build a custom ubuntu kernel?
[19:21] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: yes....a mac osx inspired theme from gnome-look
[19:21] <raboof> 2.2G wasn't enough.
[19:22] <TheMasterMind> n8tuser: only found packages are openoffice
[19:22] <n8tuser> jacik via NAT?  you try to use x11vnc or vncviewer ?
[19:22] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: try using the standard theme, it may be the theme thats breaking it
[19:22] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: hmmm...
[19:22] <n8tuser> TheMasterMind -> which os version?
[19:22] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: its woth a try
[19:22] <grafixbadnow> asmob> i had very similar prob. i use the broadcom non-free driver. the only encryption that worked for me was wpa/wpa2 personal
[19:22] <TheMasterMind> 8.10
[19:22] <meoblast001> help.. i'm installing ubuntu and got Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[19:22] <meoblast001> what do i do?
[19:22] <meoblast001> this is my new computer i just built
[19:22] <Izinucs> What do I use to pull/extract some pages from a pdf doc, creating another pdf doc in the process?
[19:23] <RegressLess1> lstarnes: Fantastic, thanks. So what was I doing before?
[19:23] <techsupport> hi , can i use a cp command with visible files being compied ?
[19:23] <n8tuser> TheMasterMind -> try again   sudo apt-cache search sun-java
[19:23] <oCean_> techsupport: -v
[19:23] <grafixbadnow> asmob> you will also have to set your wireless router to same
[19:23] <lstarnes> RegressLess1: you weren't replacing /directory/to/switch/to with the directory that you needed to switch to
[19:23] <TheMasterMind> n8tuser: openoffice.org - OpenOffice.org Office suite
[19:23] <oCean_> techsupport: like "cp -av /srcdir /dstdir"
[19:23] <grafixbadnow> asmob>other protocols resulting in me seeing the network, but never connecting
[19:24] <RegressLess1> lstarnes: Ok, I ran python unix-install.py and I think it worked. There are no errors.
[19:24] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: nothing, I tried Human but it didn't solvew the problem
[19:24] <meoblast001> isnt fd0 a floppy?
[19:24] <meoblast001> i dont even have a floppy
[19:24] <RegressLess1> lstarnes: Thanks.
[19:24] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: ok then we know its not that
[19:24] <n8tuser> TheMasterMind -> really? you may not have the correct repository enabled,  google for it please
[19:24] <Asmob> grafixbadnow: i have WPA & wpa2 in my rooter
[19:24] <TheMasterMind> 10-4
[19:24] <grafixbadnow> asmob> what version ubuntu?
[19:24] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: does a restart of x help?
[19:24] <Frijolie> It appears that my Super key (i.e. Window's key) is not mapped. How/where can you fix this?
[19:24] <oCean_> meoblast001: yes, I would think so /dev/fd0 is floppy
[19:24] <havock> #j /rubyonrails
[19:25] <Asmob> grafixbadnow: 8.10
[19:25] <n8tuser> Asmob -> check your driver, ie google for it to verify it supports the type of wpa you are using it for
[19:25] <meoblast001> oCean_: so why does the Ubuntu installer have errors accessing it
[19:25] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: I already restarted many times...
[19:25] <Frijolie> I'm trying to take a screenshot via Compiz (Super + Left-Mouse) and when pressing the "Super" key nothing happens
[19:25] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: ok thats a good thing to try
[19:25] <jack> yes. i got the same problem before but i fixed
[19:25] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: I had many problem like these....
[19:25] <Frijolie> I've checked Preferences > Keyboard and Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
[19:26] <Frijolie> and it doesn't appear to have anything in there.
[19:26] <oCean_> meoblast001: which version you're installing?
[19:26] <n8tuser> Frijolie -> dont know much about keyboard mapping,  but try   bind -P  and see if it is in the list
[19:26] <TWTNW> jack : how did you solve it?
[19:26] <grafixbadnow> asmob> i'm stumped. I never could connect 8.04. 8.10 worked after setting encryp to wpa/wpa2. I set my router to wpa2 (WPA2-PSK [AES)
[19:26] <meoblast001> oCean_: 8.04
[19:26] <redvamp128> Frijolie:  For me to take screenshots while I am in Compiz -- I generally hit the Print Screen Key- That usually brings up the screenshot save page (though it only seems to save the full-screen though)
[19:27] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: does it do it for all users
[19:27] <grafixbadnow> asmob> i could not connect when router was set WPA2 PKS AES or TKIP
[19:27] <gordonjcp> grafixbadnow: I've never had any success with WPA or WPA2 in Ubuntu
[19:27] <Frijolie> yeah, there's a table on wikipedia that I want to copy instead of manually creating it in OOo Writer
[19:27] <grafixbadnow> asmob> AES only
[19:27] <TWTNW> I've got only my own user....
[19:27] <Frijolie> i wanted to just screenshot it instead of recreating it
[19:27] <gordonjcp> grafixbadnow: I just leave my router set to WEP64
[19:27] <ActionParsnip1> Frijolie: does xev react when you press the key?
[19:27] <gordonjcp> there are plenty unsecured APs around, no-one bothers with mine
[19:27] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: also in safe-mode...
[19:27] <grafixbadnow> gordon> isn't WEP unsecure?
[19:28] <Frijolie> redvamp128: yeah I was trying to not do a full-screen capture
[19:28] <jacik> I am looking for simple solution, I tried vnc and it worked, but only when both computers were on the same local network. But I need to configure computer behind mobile operator NAT. I would appreciate some hint how to solve that issue.
[19:28] <Heme^> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/d622ee8aa
[19:28] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: tyr creating a new user and login as that, see if its the same
[19:28] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip1, I don't know what xev is, sorry
[19:28] <ganymede> http://pastebin.com/m5d7f93da <-- here is my config of a samba server running on linux. my problem is that when i go to another linux machine and mount a share like this: `mount.cifs //io/M CIFS` and cd into the dircetory and run `touch test`, i get this warning: "touch: setting times of `test': Permission denied" and the file has these modes and owners: "-rw-r--r--  1 1001 users    0 2009-01-24 14:06 test" the expected result is th
[19:28] <ganymede> at the mode should be -rw-rw-rw and i should be able to preserve the time. i thought this should work because at the server-side, the time is being set by user ganymede (since i set guest account = ganymede on the server conf). 1001 is the correct UID of ganymede on the server the time-setting should be done as user ganymede, who has rw permissions on the file
[19:28] <jack> there are other keyboard-shourt combinations as well.
[19:28] <Frijolie> n8tuser, type "bind -P" in a terminal?
[19:28] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: wait a moment, I'm trying...
[19:28] <ActionParsnip1> Frijolie: run it in terminal and press the key
[19:28] <n8tuser> Frijolie -> man  xwd
[19:28] <n8tuser> Frijolie -> yes in a terminal
[19:29] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip1, alright, lemme try
[19:29] <redvamp128> Frijolie:  try holding the alt-print screen -- it seems to take the current window only (active window)
[19:29] <grafixbadnow> asmob> did you follow what I said about the different router wpa2 options?
[19:30] <redvamp128> Frijolie:  though before you do that select the current window from the task-bar (alt-print screen key)
[19:30] <Frijolie> redvamp: I don't want the entire window, I want a table of text within the window
[19:30] <drowdy> ok so I have no clue what my original dmesg looked like but this is what happend: during boot kernel did fylesys checks and suddenly nautilus since then doesnt load. i go through dmesg output and I see "exception eMask ..." with ICRC ABRT's too on a certain drive. its also quite cold in my room could a disk freeze rigid?
[19:30] <oCean_> meoblast001: seems to be happening more (at least in 7x there were known bugs) BIOS might have an fd entry, which needs to be disabled. Also this happened when CDROM iso was burnt on DVD (fix was to burn cdromiso on cdrom)
[19:30] <redvamp128> Frijolie:  when you hold down the alt key and hit the print screen key it takes the current window only screenshot
[19:30] <guntbert> Frijolie: but for a screenshot of just one window you need <ALT><Print> and point your mouse to the desired window
[19:30] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> try  sudo ifdown eth0;  sudo ifup eth0  and let me know if you get an ip address, via command   ifconfig
[19:31] <Frijolie> guntbert, I don't want the entire window only about 2" of it
[19:31] <slongon> seraphine:  Voila! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYQATIP8cQY
[19:31] <drowdy> also having DRDY ERR
[19:31] <Heme^> n8tuser, I noticed that in the interfaces file there was still some old settings from old connection and overally the file seemed a bit messed up, couldnt edit it tho, protected somehow
[19:31] <meoblast001> oCean_: i used a CD and i just disabled Floppy boot in the BIOS... i don't know if it is even possible to tell it there is no floppy at all
[19:32] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip1, yes, xev does "react" when I press the "Super" key
[19:32] <guntbert> Frijolie: from the help I suppose gnome-screenshot doesn't support that
[19:32] <Asmob> grafixbadnow: i cheking now
[19:32] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> use gksudo vim  /etc/network/interfaces   to edit
[19:32] <ActionParsnip1> Frijolie: ok well thats some extra info, doesnt your print screen key work?
[19:32] <Frijolie> guntbert: right, that's why I'm not trying to use gnome-screenshot
[19:32] <oCean_> meoblast001: sorry I have no clue. Did you try and search the forums?
[19:32] <meoblast001> not yet
[19:33] <RaverWild> hello guys. newbie here - how to allow another host to connect to my machine via ssh? do i need to install openssh server on ubuntu or there is simpler way?
[19:33] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip1, yes my print screen key does work but--as already been discussed--not the function that I'm looking for
[19:33] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: I created a new user and I tried, but it's the same...
[19:33] <ActionParsnip1> RaverWild: i'd say running a single command is as simple as it can possibly get
[19:33] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip1, I do not want the entire window, only about a 2" box
[19:33] <guntbert> Frijolie: <print> invokes just gnome-screenshot, wouldn't it be easier to cut your shot afterwards?
[19:33] <rkstr_> hmm
[19:34] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: ok so you know its not user specific
[19:34] <exodus_ms> RaverWild: client server relationship, if the other computer is running windoze you will need something like putty
[19:34] <n8tuser> Frijolie -> resize the window you want to take a snapshot and use  xwd  ?
[19:34] <Frijolie> guntbert, no that doesn't work either. screenshotting the entire window then using--say--GIMP to crop and then resize my desired clip is more than is needed
[19:34] <ActionParsnip1> RaverWild: x forwarding is default too
[19:34] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: however I'm not on a virtual pc...
[19:35] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: doesnt make a difference, its still a system, vm or not
[19:35] <n8tuser> RaverWild -> no simpler way, do the openssh install
[19:35] <Asmob> grafixbadnow: but i can conect my other pc.. only this dont work so you say i need WPA2? why?
[19:35] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: so?
[19:35] <sectroyer> Hi. Can someone tell me where can I find the source code of php5-curl extension ?
[19:36] <darkblue_B> Q. I just upgraded to 8.04 LTS from Gutsy.. there are 4 minor errors, but they are making a problem with other pkgs now.. [ hplip, hpijs, foomatic-db-hpijs, python-imaging].. I just tried apt-get remove hplip but its "not found" .. ?????
[19:36] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: why mention virtual pcs?
[19:36] <philsf> I just found out ubuntu's version of jigdo-lite now points to ubuntu's mirrors. is it still possible to use it to download Debian ISOs?
[19:36] <ActionParsnip1> darkblue_B: dpkg -l | grep hp
[19:36] <allquixotic> Hi, does anyone know how to view manpages in DevHelp?
[19:36] <Frijolie> I've used the tool in Compiz before
[19:36] <mattva01> anyone know a good way to debug dhcp, I'm having issues with an ltsp setup on intrepid
[19:36] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: 'cos I know then virtual hardware sometimes desn't work very well...
[19:37] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: (that)
[19:37] <grafixbadnow> asmob> i chose wpa2 over wep b/c wep isn't really secure. the only way I got wpa2 to work was by the settings i described. I don't know the WHY... i just know what worked. sorry I can't be more helpful
[19:37] <Frijolie> all you're supposed to do is click "Super + Left-Mouse" then drag the selection box over what you'd like to take a screenshot of and "presto"
[19:37] <n8tuser> mattva01 -> what is missing?
[19:37] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: yes the hardware might, but the software settings is seperate
[19:37] <maxky> Hi, I'm new here. I have (allegedly) a wireless mini card. How can i detect it? should it be seen with lspci?
[19:37] <ALEXJONES> http://pastebin.com/d31f9fd57 you guys help me, i have no idea what this guy meant. I'm a linux noob and a gui lover
[19:37] <Asmob> grafixbadnow: i will test and say if it works for me
[19:37] <n8tuser> maxky -> should be,also try sudo lshw -C network
[19:37] <ALEXJONES> exclude "gui lover", I know my way around terminal
[19:38] <peepsalot> i did a upgrade with aptitude, and it looks like it is stuck after outputting "Writing extended state information... Done"  should I just kill it?
[19:38] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: so it can't be a hardware problem...
[19:38]  * rkstr_ sighs
[19:38] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: i seriously seriously doubt it
[19:38] <n8tuser> ALEXJONES -> a lil more description please
[19:38] <mattva01> well I'm pretty sure  my setup is right, my clients can ping the box the dhcp server is on if set with manual ip's, but they can't get dhcp addresses , so no ltsp
[19:38] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: perfect...
[19:39] <Frijolie> what is installed in Ubuntu, Compiz or Compiz-Fusion?
[19:39] <grafixbadnow> anyone know how to troubleshoot mpeg playback?
[19:39] <lstarnes> Frijolie: compiz-fusion
[19:39] <n8tuser> !who
[19:39] <snakeman55> Filezill question
[19:39] <jacik> n8tuser, I am looking for simple solution, I tried vnc and it worked, but only when both computers were on the same local network. But I need to configure computer behind mobile operator NAT. I would appreciate some hint how to solve that issue.
[19:39] <Frijolie> lstarnes, thanks..
[19:39] <TWTNW> when -fc option was enabled, this problem was on every application...
[19:39] <Frijolie> when all else fails, turn to google
[19:39] <meoblast001> does ubuntu 64-bit require you have a floppy drive?
[19:40] <lstarnes> meoblast001: no
[19:40] <IndyGunFreak> meoblast001: i don't see why it wouild
[19:40] <ALEXJONES> n8tuser: I was going to play an awesome anime but the audio skips, squeaks, etc. So I asked in #mplayer and someone told me to "-ao alsa". Then i got the error here: [AO_ALSA] Unable to find simple control. Was told to "exorcie all pulse, esd, arts, jack sound deamons"
[19:40] <donkey_> jacik: use ssh tunneling - google for it.
[19:40] <meoblast001> then why does the installer fail after booting the kernnel saying error on fd0
[19:40] <n8tuser> jacik -> look into using FreeNx as a client, fast and can work with secured network.. google please
[19:40] <snakeman55> I can connect to my friends FLASHFXP ftp with Filezilla, but it won't transfer
[19:40] <lstarnes> meoblast001: do you have a floppy drive?
[19:40] <maxky> thx ﻿n8tuser, lshw found it.
[19:40] <cwillu> meoblast001, fd0 probably means filedescriptor0
[19:40] <meoblast001> lstarnes: no
[19:41] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: and it isn't a xcompmgr's problem, 'cos on the test user it isn't enabled....
[19:41] <meoblast001> what's filedescriptor 0?
[19:41] <jacik> ok, thank you both
[19:41] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: which window manager are you using?
[19:41] <Trenter> Question:  I am running Ubuntu 8.10 and a long time ago I tried to connect to a random wireless router with WEP protection, I do not know the password for this router and I do not care about it, but whenever I startup ubuntu it asks me for the password for this random router.  How do I stop ubuntu from asking me for the password everytime I login?
[19:41] <n8tuser> ALEXJONES -> sorry i have to pass on this one, am not a sound expert.. maybe others can help
[19:41] <cwillu> meoblast001, would need to know the exact error message to tell you that :p
[19:41] <meoblast001> ok one sec
[19:41] <meoblast001> cwillu: right after my bios start screen, it says No Harddisk Detected!
[19:41] <meoblast001> is that a problem
[19:41] <meoblast001> cuz in BIOS it displays a SATA harddisk
[19:42] <cwillu> Trenter, right click the network manager, hit 'edit connections', go to wireless, and delete the network
[19:42] <cwillu> meoblast001, unrelated I believe
[19:42] <meoblast001> ok
[19:42] <Trenter> thanks
[19:42] <allquixotic> cwillu: isn't file descriptor 0 for any running program, the stdin?
[19:42] <cwillu> allquixotic, indeed
[19:42] <n8tuser> allquixotic -> yes
[19:42] <grafixbadnow> trenter> feeling up the neighbors?
[19:43] <wolter> help!! i am getting this uncomfortable system pauses....
[19:43] <cwillu> grafixbadnow, the local telco here provides a wireless router/adsl modem, all with the same pattern
[19:43] <darkblue_B> ActionParsnip1: thx - that worked
[19:43] <cwillu> grafixbadnow, I connect to the wrong ap all the time
[19:43] <philsf> !ask | wolter
[19:43] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: when -fc option was enabled, this problem was on every application, then I disablied it and I restarted, and the problem disappeared in every application, except in firefox...
[19:44] <Stormx2> wolter: Talk to your doctor?
[19:44] <wolter> philsf, i asked... i am getting this uncomfortable system pauses, so, what should i do?
[19:44] <wolter> Stormx2, i wish i had one...
[19:44] <grafixbadnow> cwillu> can you change the name of your network and turn off SSID broadcast ?
[19:44] <philsf> wolter: you will need to be more specific
[19:44] <atilathehun> \join #debian-es
[19:44] <RaverWild> guys help: previously i forgot to allow ssh to host. now i added a rule in firestarter to allow ssh from everyone. on the other machine when i try to ssh to mine it says: connection refused. any ideas what i might forgot please?
[19:44] <wolter> philsf, well, they are very short, like 500ms, and they happen periodically..
[19:45] <cwillu> grafixbadnow, I could, but that'd just be dumb, and wouldn't have anything to do with the problem anyway (going to a friends house is the usual failure case)
[19:45] <ALEXJONES> Need help in mplayer: http://pastebin.com/d72904181 I don't know what this guy means. I'm not an mplayer expert. I'm the rocketguy in that conversation.
[19:45] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: and the problem is in text labels too, not just in normal website texts
[19:45] <baber> hi
[19:45] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: which window manager do you use?
[19:45] <philsf> wolter: you mean you actually *notice* a timeframe of 500ms?
[19:45] <baber> how can i make iso from a dir?
[19:45] <darkblue_B> Q. Hardy upgrade from Gutsy auto-placed Postgres 8.3 next to my existing Postgres 8.2.. how do I control whch one starts up on boot?
[19:45] <grafixbadnow> cwill> if you can connect to theirs, they can connect to yours. i'd be nervous about that. (RIAA likes to sue by ip addy and everything)
[19:46] <RickX> Hi, I upgraded to 8.10 over the net. NetworkManager says I have no connections, but I do, I am using it now. Anyone have any idea as to what's going on?
[19:46] <allquixotic> wolter: What sort of system stall is it? Can you pick out particular things that freeze? Mouse, keyboard input, audio, video updates, etc?
[19:46] <philsf> baber: with mkisofs
[19:46] <wolter> philsf, no, but i mean that they last less than a second.. comon philsf, dont troll on me...
[19:46] <patrlck> hi
[19:46] <ActionParsnip1> !startup | darkblue_B
[19:46] <TheMusicGuy> Arrrggh....Ubuntu keeps randomly logging me out.
[19:46] <soier> hi there people !!!
[19:46] <philsf> wolter: sorry, I really don't understand what you're saying
[19:46] <grafixbadnow> cwill> I'm not paragon of security bet practices, but I try to make a good faith effort
[19:46] <TheMusicGuy> I have no clue why.
[19:46] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: I use xorg as x server, gnome as window manager and xcompmgr as composite manager
[19:46] <cwillu> grafixbadnow, all I'm saying is that the local telco defaults to 2wire### and wep encryption, which makes it really easy to miss a digit and attempt to connect to the wrong ap :p
[19:46] <patrlck> I've just installed Ubuntu 8.1 and my DSL connection disconnects every hour or so and it won't reconnect automatically ... could anyone give me a hint please?
[19:46] <Speeder> how I change the repository from stable to something else?
[19:47] <wolter> allquixotic, is like a keyboard and interface freeze, because i can still move the mouse around... but if i am hovering menus or writing something, it stops for a similar to 500ms lapse
[19:47] <philsf> I just found out ubuntu's version of jigdo-lite now points to ubuntu's mirrors. is it still possible to use it to download Debian ISOs?
[19:47] <TheMusicGuy> It's a real pain because it happens any time at all, even when I'm in the middle of something
[19:47] <cwillu> yes, you don't keep it on wep, but most people don't even know to do that, and they're popular enough that there's always a couple 2wireXXX's around
[19:47] <grafixbadnow> cwill> 2wire! lol. they were SBC's hware vendor in the 90s. good times
[19:47] <allquixotic> Speeder: edit /etc/apt/sources.list with sudo privileges in order to change which repositories you have. The current development version is called jaunty, so if you don't want to use current stable (intrepid), replace intrepid with jaunty, for instance.
[19:47] <wolter> philsf, what allquixotic said... system stalls. i guess i didn't knew they were called like that
[19:47] <darkblue_B> ActionParsnip1: well, no.. Postgres isnt in that Prefs list..
[19:47] <ALEXJONES> Need help in mplayer: http://pastebin.com/d72904181 I don't know what this guy means. I'm not an mplayer expert. I'm the rocketguy in that conversation.
[19:47] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: especially I use xcompmgr -c for shadows at windows and avant-window-navigator, bu ti doesn't matter, 'cos the problem was in the test user too
[19:47] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: gnome is a desktop environment, metacity is the default ubuntu window manager
[19:47] <darkblue_B> so I doubt adding 8.3 there is the right thing
[19:47] <Heme^> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m7b2a066c
[19:48] <grafixbadnow> cwill> i think i still have some of their dsl phone filters in a shoebox somewhere
[19:48] <ActionParsnip1> darkblue_B: then find out where its referenced, or remove the old one
[19:48] <ktwo> hi since im going to reinstall ubuntu 8.10. is there a ISO image which includes all updates after the official relese ?
[19:48] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: ok...I use metacity....but just as window manager, not as a composite manager...
[19:48] <allquixotic> wolter: Anything strange coming up in dmesg?
[19:48] <Speeder> here there are the words universe, multiverse, gutsy
[19:48] <Speeder> main
[19:48] <Speeder> restricted
[19:49] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> same cables as used in your windows? can you elaborate on how your network is laid out?
[19:49] <Speeder> what I change?
[19:49] <wolter> allquixotic, well, i don't know what will be normal, but ill post an output
[19:49] <meoblast001> alternate install seems to work
[19:49] <meoblast001> but its 32-bit =P
[19:49] <meoblast001> i'll reinstalll
[19:49] <allquixotic> !pastebin > wolter
[19:49] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: if you stop the composite manager is it ok?
[19:49] <babe1> philsf: i typed this mkisofs -o /home/1.iso /cccam is this true?
[19:49] <n8tuser> ktwo -> not that i know of, it has to be downloaded
[19:49] <Heme^> n8tuser: there's a wireless router that shares a connection to the apartment, there are no cables cept for the router, using wireless to connect in xp and ubuntu
[19:49] <wolter> allquixotic, dont worry, i know about those : )
[19:50] <babe1> philsf: i want make iso from cccam dir
[19:50] <grafixbadnow> does anyone here know how to debug playback? i must be missing a certain codec. how can i determine which one i'm missing?
[19:50] <oCean_> babe1: I would use genisoimage
[19:50] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> is this your AP or your neighbors?
[19:50] <ALEXJONES> Need help in mplayer: http://pastebin.com/d72904181 I don't know what this guy means. I'm not an mplayer expert. I'm the rocketguy in that conversation.
[19:50] <Heme^> n8tuser, my
[19:50] <allquixotic> Speeder: You tell us that you want to stop using the stable distribution, but you haven't mentioned what distribution you want to change *to* :) So I can't suggest what to change.
[19:50] <TheMusicGuy> Can anyone help me figure out why I keep getting logged out at random?
[19:50] <philsf> babe1: don't know, you'll have to rtm
[19:50] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: the problem is also in test user, where xcompmgr isn't enabled
[19:51] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: hmm ok
[19:51] <lstarnes> ALEXJONES: he means to shut down any instance of the pulse, esd, arts, and jack sound deamons
[19:51] <babe1> oCean_: how can make iso from a dir with genisoimage?
[19:51] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> okya,   sudo dhclient wlan0
[19:51] <Speeder> I want to get this thing: libwxgtk2.8-0 (>= 2.8.7);
[19:51] <ALEXJONES> lstarnes: How? I couldn't figure that out
[19:51] <wolter> allquixotic, http://paste.ubuntu.com/109084/plain/
[19:51] <wolter> allquixotic, quite long..
[19:51] <Speeder> bu when I type apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0 I get a older version
[19:51] <oCean_> babe1: "/usr/bin/genisoimage -o disk.iso dirname"
[19:51] <philsf> babe1: you can also use the cd creator in nautilus
[19:51] <philsf> babe1: just remembered that
[19:52] <lstarnes> ALEXJONES: kill them
[19:52] <Heme^> n8tuser, something else too? kinda pain to boot between xp and ubuntu all the time :>
[19:52] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: what release of ubuntu are you using (lsb_release -a | grep -i code)
[19:52] <Frijolie> fixed!
[19:52] <allquixotic> Speeder: Which package is asking for libwxgtk2.8-0 >= 2.8.7 when you install it?
[19:52] <ALEXJONES> lstarnes: How? I'm a lunix noob and not familiar with mplayer
[19:52] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: 8.04
[19:52] <Speeder> allquixotic codeblocks
[19:52] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: ok cool
[19:52] <Speeder> ubuntu binary
[19:52] <lstarnes> ALEXJONES: man kill
[19:52] <philsf> babe1: with nautilus you just drag the files with the mouse
[19:52] <CyL> What does DFSG version stands for?
[19:53] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> well you are not using your eth0 (wired) so forget about that,  concentrate on your wlan0  and you may have to play around wiht it you are using windows drivers with ndiswrapper
[19:53] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: I didn't upgrade the version 'cos it takes too much time...
[19:53] <ALEXJONES> lstarnes: how
[19:53] <lstarnes> CyL: Debian Free Software Guidelines
[19:53] <allquixotic> Speeder: Are you running Ubuntu 8.10?
[19:53] <lstarnes> ALEXJONES: see the manual page for kill
[19:53] <ALEXJONES> lstarnes: how
[19:53] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: i dunno what else to suggest, i'd log a bug and add all the info you have found out so far as well as  kernel version / ubuntu version and as much as you cna recommend
[19:53] <lstarnes> ALEXJONES: I told you already: man kill
[19:53] <Speeder> allquixotic: I have no idea, how I checkversion?
[19:53] <babe1> oCean_: is this command true?
[19:53] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: i' try a ittle later too, different users and stuff
[19:53] <lstarnes> Speeder: lsb_release -a
[19:54] <Speeder> 7.10 :/
[19:54] <Heme^> n8tuser, wlan appears to be working or?
[19:54] <CyL> lstarnes: is that version included when the package being stalled include proprietary software?
[19:54] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> also repost the results of those same info i asked for earlier once you have done  sudo dhclient wlan0
[19:54] <babe1> oCean_:  genisoimage -o /home/1.iso /cccam
[19:54] <Heme^> oki
[19:54] <ActionParsnip1> !bug | TWTNW
[19:54] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> per your previous post, wlan0 is up but not associated
[19:54] <oCean_> babe1: well, there sure are other options.. but this works for me
[19:54] <Speeder> allquixotic 7.10
[19:55] <allquixotic> Speeder: 7.10 is Gutsy Gibbon. If you will kindly look with me at this page, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/i386/libwxgtk2.8-0 you will see that your distribution version does not support the version of libwxgtk you want.
[19:55] <n8tuser> babe1 -> make sure you have write priviledges to your destination dir
[19:55] <lstarnes> CyL: it usually means that the version of the package being installed has been modified to only include components that comply with the DFSF
[19:55] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: ok...however thanks, ActionParsnip1!
[19:55] <lstarnes> DFSG
[19:55] <Speeder> :(
[19:55] <babe1> oCean_: can this command make iso from cccam dir and save it in /home ?
[19:55] <allquixotic> Speeder: However, Ubuntu 7.10 is definitely *not* the latest stable. In fact, even our Long Term Support release, Ubuntu 8.04, has the version of libwxgtk that you need.
[19:55] <CyL> lstarnes: I understand... thanks...
[19:55] <Speeder> allquixotic there are a way to update ubuntu?
[19:55] <allquixotic> Speeder: Look with me at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/i386/libwxgtk2.8-0
[19:55] <lars_t_h> patrlck: some broadband routers cannot handle the amount of traffic on your uplink network. Reset the router, and execute the following command in a shell: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[19:55] <allquixotic> Speeder: You will see that Hardy Heron (8.04) has the version you need
[19:55] <oCean_> babe1: as I said, for me it works that way indeed
[19:56] <allquixotic> Can someone please direct Speeder to the "blessed" official instructions for a 7.10 -> 8.04 dist-upgrade, please?
[19:56] <TWTNW> ActionParsnip1: may I try to reinstall firefox?
[19:56] <lstarnes> !upgrade
[19:56] <n8tuser> allquixotic -> use a fresh install instead of an upgrade, much much less headaches
[19:57] <bunti> hi
[19:57] <cars> I have Ubuntu installed with both Gnome and KDE.  Is there a way to remove KDE (kubuntu-desktop)?  It doesn't seem to be as easy as marking Kubuntu-desktop for complete removal?
[19:57] <bunti> what is the best way to install nvidia 180.22?
[19:57] <n8tuser> Speeder  -> use a fresh install instead of an upgrade, much much less headaches
[19:57] <ALEXJONES> lstarnes: How do I kill those instances through mplayer? That MAN KILL explained nothing useful.
[19:57] <allquixotic> n8tuser: Tell it to Speeder. It's a matter of opinion, I think, and it depends on the amount of headache the user has already had to go through to set up their system the way it is now.
[19:57] <Frijolie> another thing, has Ubuntu changed it's autoconfiguration stuff in Xorg?
[19:57] <ActionParsnip1> TWTNW: its worth a try: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0
[19:57] <jim_p> has anyone ever used cron-apt? i want it for a novice user that cannot do terminal very well. either that or... update-manager . what do you suggest?
[19:57] <Frijolie> my xorg.conf is very bare
[19:57] <lstarnes> ALEXJONES: it should explain how to kill a process
[19:58] <miranda_psi> Frijolie: it has - changes in the 7 series i believe
[19:58] <ActionParsnip1> jim_p: ive come across it but not used it
[19:58] <philsf> Speeder: make a backup and do the upgrade
[19:58] <allquixotic> n8tuser: I've had a very different experience with upgrades, so to each his own :) If Speeder has a relatively uncustomized install of Ubuntu 7.10, a fresh install would be easier, I agree.
[19:58]  * Speeder will explain what he is doing...
[19:58]  * Speeder is using andLinux
[19:58] <Frijolie> miranda_psi, sorry, I guess my question wans't very specific
[19:58] <ALEXJONES> lstarnes: so in mplayer its: mplayer -kill RIGHT
[19:58] <Flannel> jim_p: update-manager should work fine.  They just have to know to click the little icon, and then hit apply all updates or whatnot.
[19:58] <lstarnes> ALEXJONES: no.
[19:58] <Frijolie> miranda_psi, I meant has it changed since Hardy?
[19:58] <lstarnes> ALEXJONES: pkill mplayer
[19:59] <meoblast> why wont they let me download 64-bit 8.04 alternate?
[19:59] <ALEXJONES> lstarnes: how do i shut down instances of pulse, esd, arts, and jack sound deamons
[19:59] <allquixotic> sorry wolter, getting back to you now
[19:59] <Flannel> meoblast: They will.  Where are you looking?
[19:59] <allquixotic> wolter: Your dmesg output looks normal
[19:59] <philsf> meoblast who won't?
[19:59] <meoblast> Flannel: on the website.. one second
[19:59] <lstarnes> ALEXJONES: check to see if they're running using ps aux | grep name-of-daemon
[19:59] <meoblast> Flannel: wait i found a new page
[19:59] <lstarnes> ALEXJONES: where name-of-daemon is pulse, esd, arts, or jack
[19:59] <jim_p> Frijolie, on ubuntu 8.10? it has been months since xorg devs decided to trim down xorg.conf. even dpkg-reconfigure gives very few options these days. i remember me getting out of controll when i last run it and saw a ~15 line xorg.conf
[20:00] <wolter> allquixotic, hm.. what could be causing it?
[20:00] <wolter> allquixotic, i set my cpu scaling to performance, and it still happens
[20:00] <miranda_psi> Frijolie: not that I know of - it only gone through the the one change I know of (a move to do a lot of autoconfiguration, though all xorg options can still be put in there and will be used)
[20:00] <meoblast> Flannel: ok i found one
[20:00] <Fabio123> hi: i got a problem with firefox for ubuntu
[20:00] <lars_t_h> ALEXJONES: sudo killall pulse for example
[20:00] <allquixotic> wolter: Well, if your mouse cursor isn't locking up, then at least _some_ userspace processes (Xorg) are running when you have "lockups", so I think it's a soft lockup -- a userspace process hogging CPU.
[20:00] <lstarnes> ALEXJONES: alternative option: use system > administration > system monitor
[20:00] <allquixotic> wolter: Do you have a single core CPU?
[20:00] <jim_p> Flannel, wont the user be asked for password at that time?
[20:00] <ActionParsnip1> Fabio123: wassup?
[20:01] <Fabio123> ok
[20:01] <Flannel> jim_p: For update-manager? yes.
[20:01] <Fabio123> with firefox 3 go here : www.tim.it
[20:01] <wolter> allquixotic, no =D
[20:01] <Fabio123> Your firefox 3 will crash !!!
[20:01] <ALEXJONES> none of them are running
[20:01] <ActionParsnip1> Fabio123: done
[20:01] <jim_p> Flannel, thats bad then. he cant even remember urls!
[20:01] <ActionParsnip1> Fabio123: looks fine here
[20:01] <Fabio123> so ?
[20:01] <Bob_Dole>  the behavior is weird..anything that needs time to become a USB mass storage device(mp3 players) don't mount as drives, and are not recognized, unless I reboot, leaving them attached and in Mass Storage mode
[20:01] <Fabio123> what are you using ?
[20:02] <jacik> donkey_, n8tuser, I read some information about freenx, nxclient and ssh, but I my both computers can't see each other (ping), because of my broadband mobile provider NAT. Maybe I need some computer in the middle to start the connection between them.
[20:02] <Flannel> jim_p: He doesn't have to remember a URL, just his password.  The same password he uses to log in.
[20:02] <oCean_> Fabio123: no problem here
[20:02] <jim_p> Fabio123, give me a sec to look. most some plugin in yours is causing it to crash
[20:02] <ActionParsnip1> Fabio123: harware sales site
[20:02] <Fabio123> Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008101315 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.5
[20:02] <ALEXJONES> Mplayer's sound just squeeks and sounds skippy. I don't know what's wrong then
[20:02] <Flannel> jim_p: You can (since we're using sudo) make it so that for update-manager there's no password required though.
[20:02] <jim_p> Flannel, he autologins
[20:02] <ActionParsnip1> Fabio123: firefox 3.0.5 no 64bit Kubuntu 8.10 + fluxbox
[20:02] <ActionParsnip1> *on
[20:03] <ActionParsnip1> Fabio123: do flash sites crash your firefox?
[20:03] <Fabio123> nope
[20:03] <jim_p> Fabio123, i am in the site too, ff 3.05, flash 9, 32 bits, gnome
[20:03] <Fabio123> the strange thing is that i can browse there with the minefield
[20:03] <allquixotic> wolter: Ok, you might want to launch System Monitor and go to the Resources tab. It's under System -> Administration or System -> Preferences (depending on your Ubuntu version).
[20:03] <ActionParsnip1> Fabio123: you could try renaming ~/.mozilla to see if your firefox profile is screwed
[20:03] <Fabio123> what is wrong with me ?
[20:03] <jim_p> Fabio123, check what plugins does it load
[20:03]  * TWTNW is having dinner
[20:03] <ActionParsnip1> Fabio123: close firefox, rename then rerun
[20:04] <allquixotic> wolter: Monitor your CPU usage and look for 100% spikes (other than when System Monitor is starting up, that is). You'll want to take notice of any CPU spikes unless you are doing something like compiling or video encoding which _would_ peg the CPU.
[20:04] <Fabio123> i will disable the plugins
[20:04] <ActionParsnip1> Fabio123: if its no good, you can always rename back#
[20:04] <ActionParsnip1> Fabio123: that may do it
[20:04] <allquixotic> wolter: Also, I notice that if my disk drives are going crazy with I/O, GUIs can become unresponsive -- it's just the way the subsystems work. So if you are doing lots of I/O that may also be a cause.
[20:04] <ALEXJONES> My mplayer sound is still horrible
[20:05] <jim_p> Fabio123, not all of them!!! i keep only the windows media plugin and the shockwave flash plugin active. and yes i experienced random crashes since ff 3 came out
[20:05] <Heme^> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/d71977309
[20:05] <wolter> allquixotic, no more i/o than the usual... some gedit python coding, xchat, music, and ocassionally firefox browsing..
[20:05] <wolter> allquixotic, and i dont have 100% peaks, but like 70%
[20:05] <miranda_psi> ALEXJONES: have you tried using alsa output directly?
[20:05] <Fabio123> My Error: The application 'firefox' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
[20:05] <Fabio123> most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
[20:05] <Fabio123> the application.
[20:06] <ActionParsnip1> ALEXJONES: try installing gmplayer and you can set settings there
[20:06] <webofunni123> Hi
[20:06] <wolter> allquixotic, but yes, when i get the stall the cpu usage throws a peak...
[20:06] <allquixotic> wolter: If you really want to profile your system (both user and kernel space), try using oprofile or sysprof. It can be a challenge to figure out what is spiking, and which resource it's using. But oprofile and sysprof can each give you good results which detail kernel vs. userspace bottlenecks, and which processes/functions are slow.
[20:06] <webofunni123> Any one familier with ISCSI
[20:06] <webofunni123> ?
[20:06] <ActionParsnip1> Fabio123: try renaming the profile, if its still bad you know its the app and not your settings
[20:06] <allquixotic> wolter: I would recommend sysprof personally, but others use oprofile. The Intel Xorg developers all swear by sysprof, and they are one of the heaviest users of full system profiling packages :)
[20:06] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> you got an ip address  look at line 29  do not rerun dhclient again once you get an ip address

[20:07] <miranda_psi> ActionParsnip, ALEXJONES: if you want an mplayer frontend, smplayer is probably a better choice
[20:07] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> it should have worked,  what you posted seems everything is okay
[20:07] <webofunni123> ActionParsnip1: can you please help me to solve that

[20:08] <PrimoTurbo> is there a log file for fstab my usb is not being mount on boot but works through terminal?
[20:08] <wolter> allquixotic, ok
[20:08] <PrimoTurbo> How can I check fstab log any clue?
[20:08] <Heme^> n8tuser, aight, just got that "looking for xxxx.com" in firefox and then timeout
[20:08] <Fabio123> ActionParsnip1: i will try ok
[20:08] <Heme^> n8tuser, tho I didnt boot after those edits so it might be it
[20:08] <allquixotic> wolter: Do you, by chance, use Intel graphics?
[20:08] <philsf> PrimoTurbo: you mean /etc/fstab?
[20:09] <n8tuser> jacik -> can you elaborate on your network layout again please? ping which host from where? what is their respective ip addresses?
[20:09] <ActionParsnip1> webofunni123: can you ping the ip?
[20:09] <biouser> --display=DISPLAY        X display to use ... where can I learn about format for expressing x-display?
[20:09] <biouser> what are th names of my displays?
[20:09] <webofunni123> ActionParsnip1: Yes
[20:09] <PrimoTurbo> philsf: yes I need to see it's log file
[20:09] <PrimoTurbo> because i want to see why my usb is not being mount
[20:09] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> next is to post the results of   cat /etc/resolv.conf     to verify you are using a good nameserver
[20:09] <philsf> PrimoTurbo: the log file of mounts and unmounts? kern.log
[20:09] <wolter> allquixotic, no..i have nvidia 8600m gt
[20:10] <PrimoTurbo> where is kern.log located?

[20:10] <simion314> hi, what is the name of the QT4 development package?
[20:10] <n8tuser> PrimoTurbo -> what are you trying to find out? what are you attempting to do?
[20:11] <philsf> PrimoTurbo: all log files are in /var/log
[20:11] <webofunni123> ActionParsnip1: ok
[20:11] <philsf> PrimoTurbo: by default (can be changed in syslog configs)
[20:11] <guntbert> PrimoTurbo: first thing: look at /var/log/messages, /etc/fstab is a static file, it has no log by itself
[20:11] <wolter> allquixotic, "FATAL: Module sysprof_module not found."
[20:12] <ActionParsnip1> biouser: they are named 0:0
[20:12] <oCean_> simion314: "apt-cache search qt4"
[20:12] <Fabio123> ActionParsnip1: you are right: it's the profile
[20:12] <allquixotic> wolter: sysprof has a kernel mode component too, which means you'll have to build. sysprof-module-source is a package too, or should be
[20:12] <jacik> n8tuser, first pc is behind NAT of one internet provider and second pc is behind NAT of second internet provider. Both computers doesn't have public IP. I need to make a connection between them, but they can't see each other.
[20:12] <Fabio123> .mozilla renamed and it's working now
[20:13] <Fabio123> i hope i can get some personal preferences back: thank you
[20:13] <wolter> allquixotic, uh ok, i have that one... from where should i build it?
[20:13] <ActionParsnip1> Fabio123: then you have 2 options. make a new one from scratch, or rename back and try to work out whats breaking the old one
[20:14] <umberto> xdcc send http://xdcc.it/network/OltreIrc.html
[20:14] <n8tuser> jacik -> those routers fronting the hosts has to be able to port forward packets to your host, look at the config settins of those routers perhaps its called DMZ
[20:14] <jacik> n8tuser, when both computers were on the same local network I could connect them and vnc worked fine.
[20:15] <n8tuser> jacik ->  i know, but since they are behind a router (masqueraded) now -- it requires the router to port forward the packets to those host behind them
[20:15] <jacik> n8tuser, I can't configure my internet provider routers. I am looking for something like hamachi under XP, but not for gaming.
[20:16] <n8tuser> jacik ->  there are plenty of tutorials you can find via google on how to do this
[20:16] <simion314> oCean_, thx for advice, i found it libqt4-dev
[20:16] <n8tuser> jacik -> oh.. you dont have access to the configuration of those routers?  what ip address is given to your hosts? both ends?
[20:17] <superhero> hello everybody,ubuntu on my notebook (HP pavilion DV6000) can't match between skype and the audio driver??
[20:17] <n8tuser> jacik ->  if you wish you can private message those to me
[20:17] <superhero> what can I do??
[20:17] <oCean_> simion314: ok, np
[20:17] <allquixotic> wolter: Run `sudo module-assistant`
[20:17] <chetnick> Is there any music player for gnome with graphic equalizer?
[20:17] <jacik> n8tuser, both ip address are dynamic
[20:17] <CyberCod> chetnick: lots of em
[20:18] <CyberCod> chetnick: try audacious
[20:18] <n8tuser> jacik -> what are they? provide them to me in private
[20:18] <allquixotic> wolter: The UI should be fairly self-explanatory. You need to navigate to the "SELECT" menu, then pick the sysprof-module and build then install it
[20:18] <philsf> I just found out ubuntu's version of jigdo-lite now points to ubuntu's mirrors. is it still possible to use it to download Debian ISOs?
[20:18] <slongon> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYQATIP8cQY  -> Seraphine.
[20:18] <n8tuser> jacik are they the routable type or not?
[20:18] <wolter> allquixotic, yes, dont worry, iam building now
[20:18] <Schuenemann> how can I test if a keyboard key is working?
[20:19] <wolter> allquixotic, thanks for that, now i know that i have to compile my webcam drivers =D
[20:19] <jacik> n8tuser, what does it mean routable type?
[20:19] <n8tuser> Schuenemann -> you press them?
[20:19] <n8tuser> jacik ->  can you provide the ip address ? ill tell you if they are or not
[20:19] <Schuenemann> n8tuser, it's not working and I don't know if it's broken or if I'm using the wrong layout
[20:20] <chetnick> I cant believe that rhytmbox dont have graphic equalizer.
[20:21] <CyberCod> guess he's just holding it
[20:21] <n8tuser> Schuenemann -> you expect it to be inputting keys ? or some kind of function key?
[20:21] <ShdwSoldier> Afternoon all
[20:21] <Schuenemann> n8tuser, it's the slash (/)
[20:21] <elmz> how to backup old files when i used klensweep? help..
[20:21] <n8tuser> Schuenemann -> what is displayed when you press?
[20:21] <Schuenemann> n8tuser, nothing!
[20:21] <kola> I have a GRUB question here.  After installing Ubuntu I get Ubuntu or Win, If Win, then I get WIN menu showing Win7 and XP.  how can i get win7 and XP on main grub menu?
[20:22] <CyberCod> Schuenemann: if you have another keyboard, try it if it doesn't work, its the layout, if it does, its a broken key
[20:22] <Schuenemann> I remember a program that would output a code for any key I press
[20:22] <Schuenemann> I don't know if it's xmodmap
[20:22] <n8tuser> Schuenemann -> xev
[20:22] <Schuenemann> thanks
[20:22] <ActionParsnip1> !grub | kola
[20:23] <Morclye> Could somebody help me with a problem related to using internet in general in Ubuntu. Problem is for example firefox 'looking up' part taking quite a long time before page opens up. Same thing when installing something with Synaptic, starting download takes 10-30s but after that download speed is normal.
[20:23] <Schuenemann> it's working... sigh
[20:23] <Schuenemann> n8tuser, the layout was ok until I did a full upgrade
[20:23] <CyberCod> Morclye: could be your dns
[20:23] <CyberCod> Morclye: or proxy settings
[20:23] <n8tuser> Schuenemann -> per CyberCod .. get another keyboard to try out
[20:23] <ShdwSoldier> Lookin for some help getting my network manager to recognize wireless card (new linux user)
[20:24] <wolter> allquixotic, tough luck... http://paste.ubuntu.com/109105/plain/
[20:24] <Schuenemann> n8tuser, why? the keys are working
[20:24] <rkstr_> shdw: install netcfg
[20:24] <rkstr_> ensure your driver works
[20:24] <rkstr_> ensure you HAVE a driver
[20:24] <ActionParsnip1> ShdwSoldier: does: sudo iwlist scan work
[20:24] <kola> ubottu: correct, but I want to be able to select all 3 OS's from GRUB, Ubuntu/Win7/WinXP  right now both WIN OS's show in the Win boot LDR
[20:24] <ShdwSoldier> :-)
[20:24] <n8tuser> Schuenemann -> well if it does, then try another method to troubleshoot
[20:24] <ActionParsnip1> ShdwSoldier: sudo iwlist scan
[20:24] <ActionParsnip1> ShdwSoldier: if it fails, you need to install the driver first
[20:25] <CyberCod> kola: is grub showing at all?
[20:25] <Schuenemann> n8tuser, hmm... won't be that easy. It's a notebook, only USB ports
[20:25] <simion314> Morclye,  only Firefox is slow or all aplications that use internet? maybe you can try other browser like Opera
[20:25] <rkstr_> do iwconfig wlan0
[20:25] <rkstr_> see if it's up
[20:26] <rkstr_> do lspci to identify your chip
[20:26] <n8tuser> Schuenemann -> use a livecd to test
[20:26] <kola> Yes I see GRUB, grub shows UBUNTU, and Windows Loader.  Windows Loader shows WinXP and Win7.  I want to show all 3 OSes on Main GRUB window
[20:26] <allquixotic> wolter: Do you have the package linux-headers-$(uname -r) installed?
[20:26] <Morclye> CyberCod: I'm using automatic DNS as I do in XP and I've tried putting my ISP DNS address manually too but it didn't help. I have also disabled ipv6 in FireFox and from alias file. I do not use proxy in XP
[20:26] <ActionParsnip1> rkstr_: might be ath0 ;)
[20:26] <rkstr_> kola: don't worry about it ;)
[20:26] <CyberCod> kola: you need another entry for the 2nd windows partition in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:26] <Morclye> simion314: Everything that uses internet connection for something like this XChat took over half a minute to connect
[20:26] <rkstr_> kola: you will do more damage then good, almost any way you do this
[20:26] <kola> can i make GRUB pick NTLDR for XP, and winload.exe for Win7?
[20:26] <ActionParsnip1> kola: then you need to add an entry in /boot/grub/menu.list
[20:26] <CyberCod> Morclye: try opendns
[20:27] <wolter> allquixotic, yes
[20:27] <vock> Just wondering what the website is to find out which restricted nvidia driver is needed for 8.10? Have GeForce 6200
[20:27] <elmz> how tu backup system with kleansweep? i need help... :(
[20:27] <n8tuser> Morclye -> test with  w3m www.google.com
[20:27] <Yoyoto> Hey, I don't know if I'm asking this in the proper channel, but I'm attempting to use egnome, and when I attempt to change to it, I get an xsession error about invalid arguments
[20:27] <allquixotic> wolter: Sounds like a bug. module-assistant sources on a stable version of Ubuntu should _always_ compile cleanly against a stable, stock kernel.
[20:27] <CyberCod> kola: grub just points to the partition, it doesn't start a particular windows file
[20:27] <kola> RATS@
[20:27] <ActionParsnip1> vock: its nvidia-glx-177
[20:27] <allquixotic> wolter: I'm going to search launchpad for bugs about this
[20:27] <ActionParsnip1> vock: i use the same card
[20:27] <allquixotic> wolter: I am assuming from your kernel version that you are on 8.10
[20:27] <ActionParsnip1> vock: its hugely supported
[20:28] <dkulchenko> i'm developing a gui program. i'm looking for an easy way to do so. i have extensive perl knowledge, but only basic C knowledge. i don't know Java at all. I've tried Tk, but it's ugly, and i'm trying to make a cross-platform application for end-users. what should i use/learn?
[20:28] <vock> ActionParsnip: I keep booting into low graphics mode, thought it was because of incompatible drivers, you know what hte problem is if i'm already using those drivers?
[20:28] <wolter> allquixotic, correct
[20:28] <vock> actionparsnip: my xorg.conf needs to get redone?
[20:28] <h4ckx> hi there i got X-chat how to change the ident ?
[20:28] <CyberCod> dkulchenko: python is very good for gui and it is cross platform
[20:28] <radioman{LT}> dkulchenko, wxWidgets
[20:28] <allquixotic> dkulchenko: Aren't there perl bindings for GTK2? libgtk2-perl
[20:28] <flyingsquirrel32> where can I get posters to advertise ubuntu  in spanish?
[20:28] <simion314> Morclye,  can tou paste bin the content of the /etc/resolv.conf  and /etc/networking/interfaces ?
[20:29] <ActionParsnip1> vock: if you run: gksudo nvidia-settings do you get a message?
[20:29] <superhero> hello!!!!
[20:29] <allquixotic> dkulchenko: If you want easy cross platform you may also want to look at MonoDevelop; write a .NET 2.0 application with C# (if you're willing to learn a language)
[20:29] <superhero> can anybody answer me??
[20:29] <vock> ActionParsnip1: Yep
[20:29] <Morclye> n8tuser: Same thing with that. Opening socket took quite a while but then page opened fast. BTW: didn't know it was possible to browse web with terminal but seems like everything is possible in linux if you know how to do it :P
[20:29] <simion314> Morclye,  my mistake /etc/network/interfaces
[20:29] <guntbert> !ask | superhero
[20:29] <philsf> !ask | superhero
[20:29] <n8tuser> Morclye -> follow other advise, post your /etc/resolv.conf
[20:30] <vock> ActionParsnip1: I did the nvidia-xconfig and got warnings
[20:30] <ActionParsnip1> vock: ok, run: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[20:30] <Morclye> CyberCod: I will look into opendns after I has pasted those things for simion314
[20:30] <flyingsquirrel32> superhero: hi
[20:30] <ActionParsnip1> vock: it needs sudo, then restart x
[20:30] <dkulchenko> allquixotic: it's poorly documented, and is hard to work in
[20:30] <Morclye> simion314: Will do, wait a while and I'll give them to you
[20:30] <Heme^> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/d73e47690

[20:30] <wolter> allquixotic, ok, i appreciate very much your effort in helping, really. If you wanted to contact me for something, see the pm.
[20:30] <Heme^> seems to be correct but still no luck with the net
[20:30] <magaio2> anyone using uvesafb with intrepid?
[20:30] <vock> ActionParsnip1: brb, thanks, i think i forgot the sudo
[20:30] <superhero> ubuottu: I asked my question from 5 minutes ago but nobody answer me
[20:30] <allquixotic> wolter: I don't have a PM from you
[20:31] <ActionParsnip1> vock: it will edit xorg.conf which isnt user writable
[20:31] <dkulchenko> radioman{LT}: i've tried (it can be on Perl, Python, C++), but on Perl there's horrible documentation
[20:31] <Dante123> hey, how do I scan to see all the active IP's on my network
[20:31] <guntbert> !patience | superhero
[20:31] <wolter> allquixotic, now you do :)
[20:31] <allquixotic> dkulchenko: What, .NET 2.0 is poorly documented? GTK#?? I don't think so, honestly. But if you're saying libperl-gtk2 is poorly documented. That may be true. I haven't tried it.
[20:31] <superhero> flyingsquirrel32: hi, ubuntu on my notebook (HP Pavilion DV6000) can't match between skype and soundcard
[20:31] <dkulchenko> allquixotic: what's GTK#?
[20:32] <allquixotic> dkulchenko: GTK# is the GTK2.0 bindings for Mono. It is a cross platform widget toolkit heavily based on GTK2, but it runs on Windows, Mac and Linux
[20:32] <allquixotic> dkulchenko: Compile once, run anywhere.
[20:32] <guntbert> allquixotic: dkulchenko please take that to #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[20:32] <superhero> ubottu: thank you for everybody, but it was a reminder only

[20:32] <Flannel> anr78: You could use audacity, but I don't know if it can do that automatically.  You can "snap to silence" I believe.

[20:38] <cbebop> Hi. My Rsolution is fixed to 1024x768 because the EDID of my Monitor is not transfered. (WW) The EDID read for display device CRT-0 is invalid
[20:38] <superhero> philsf: skype can't use my sound card
[20:38] <szrhawaii> ActionParsnip do you know the path to the system notifications settings
[20:38] <ActionParsnip1> vock: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[20:38] <superhero> philsf: I haven't a problem with audio driver
[20:39] <philsf> superhero: never? or just when other things are playing?
[20:39] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> just out curiosity, paste   cat /etc/hosts  and /etc/nsswitch.conf
[20:39] <superhero> philsf: but skype said: problem with audio playback
[20:39] <ActionParsnip1> vock: then restart x, rerun the sudo xorg-nvidia (or whatever it was) and restart x again
[20:39] <ActionParsnip1> vock: then try gksudo nvidia-settings
[20:39] <allquixotic> wolter: Install the binutils-dev package
[20:39] <philsf> superhero: you should probably complain to skype.com, since it's a bug in their end
[20:39] <superhero> philsf: everythink is good, only skype make a problem
[20:39] <philsf> superhero: it's a known bug, btw
[20:39] <jarco> hello. i have an unformatted sata/150 drive in my computer. How can i format it with ubuntu?
[20:39] <bigjunk45> hey all
[20:39] <bigjunk45> any good IRC cahts I should check out?
[20:40] <bigjunk45> chats*
[20:40] <CyberCod> jarco: easy way is with gparted
[20:40] <bigjunk45> use the live CD to format it
[20:40] <superhero> philsf: I will revise skype.com
[20:40] <jarco> ok CyberCod i try it now
[20:40] <philsf> superhero: skype doesn't think they have a problem
[20:40] <bigjunk45> what are peoples favorite IRC rooms?
[20:40] <CyberCod> jarco: sudo apt-get install gparted    if you don't have it installed
[20:40] <guntbert> !ot | bigjunk45
[20:41] <jarco> yeah
[20:41] <adaptr> bigjunk45: there are no rooms on IRC, so my guess would be...none
[20:41] <philsf> superhero: see more info here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[20:41] <danbhfive> philsf: whats the bug?
[20:41] <szrhawaii> how do i disable sounds
[20:41] <ActionParsnip1> jarco: i'd use gparted to use a gui
[20:41] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1 thanks, that did it.
[20:41] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: sweet bro
[20:41] <jarco> ok ActionParsnip1 :)
[20:41] <philsf> danbhfive: skype doesn't support pulseaudio
[20:41] <jarco> trying it now
[20:41] <rkstr_> use cfdisk if you want a real partitioning tool
[20:41] <superhero> philsf: I will check it
[20:41] <perillux> can someone please tell me how to use Latex in openOffice?  I installed the writer2latex package, but how do I use it?
[20:41] <philsf> danbhfive: and it doesn't use alsa properly, so pulseaudio can't work alongside with it
[20:42] <jarco> gparted
[20:42] <philsf> danbhfive: two bugs, actually
[20:42] <Dante123> what command give me my internal lan ip address
[20:42] <ActionParsnip1> jarco: if you dont have it, apt-get install it
[20:42] <user___> Dante123: ifconfig
[20:42] <asmob> Does anyone can help me fix my wireless drivers?
[20:42] <asmob> or wireless conetion
[20:42] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: ifconfig
[20:42] <vigo> I do not remember who asked, but this is from the forums ...skype: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1034727&highlight=skype
[20:42] <cbebop> Hi plz Help me :). My Rsolution is fixed to 1024x768 because the EDID of my Monitor is not transfered. (WW) The EDID read for display device CRT-0 is invalid (but ive an tft) sry for my bad english
[20:42] <danbhfive> philsf: weird, I had to set skype _too_ "pulse" in order to get it working
[20:42] <ActionParsnip1> asmob: i'd use ndiswrapper + windows driver if you are having no joy
[20:42] <jarco> yeah just did :) it works. Weird thing is that it only seems to see the unformatted drive ... :) ActionParsnip1
[20:42] <blound> cbebop: you hit the broken nvidia package bug
[20:43] <blound> you can tell xorg.conf not to check the edid
[20:43] <blound> but that didnt fix it for me
[20:43] <ActionParsnip1> jarco: no bad thing, its accessing what you wanna access
[20:43] <philsf> danbhfive: there are some workarounds, to some degree of successes
[20:43] <blound> others on google said it fixed it for them
[20:43] <asmob> Does anyone can help me fix my wireless drivers, or wireless network because on other pc wireless working.
[20:43] <wolter> allquixotic, sysprof up an runnin'
[20:43] <Morclye> simion314: Two questions about openDNS, does it matter if I use directions from page you gave me or openDNS page's ubuntu guide? Second question is do I need to boot my PC in order to get new settings active or is there a shortcut like some terminal command to reset network module?
[20:43] <jarco> :D indeed ActionParsnip1
[20:43] <blound> linux-image-debug-2.6.27-7 <- can someone please tell me where to find this package
[20:43] <n8tuser> !wireless > asmob
[20:43] <philsf> danbhfive: but the fix is to skype properly using alsa, without locking dmix, and/or supporting pulseaudio directly
[20:43] <ActionParsnip1> asmob: you need drivers, ndiswraper will allow you to use the windows driver
[20:43] <n8tuser> blound -> use google to find
[20:44] <blound> n8tuser: already have
[20:44] <blound> many times and posted on ubuntuforums
[20:44] <cbebop> blound: oh sounds bad...ok i'll try. Anybody else an Idea?
[20:44] <asmob> n8tuser: i try those dont give me i dont trust them
[20:44] <blound> and no one has an ansers
[20:44] <superhero> philsf: I revise the previous link, they told me to check the sound test
[20:44] <philsf> danbhfive: I, myself, just uninstall pulseaudio and live without it
[20:44] <n8tuser> asmob -> you dont trust? then who do you trust?
[20:44] <superhero> philsf: everything was ok, except sound capture
[20:44] <blound> n8tuser: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/intrepid-changes/2008-October/009184.html this is the only thing i can find ref'ing it
[20:44] <nickrud> blound, a silly question maybe, but have you tried adding a monitor definition manually to xorg.conf?
[20:44] <superhero> phisf: the sound wasn't continous
[20:45] <blound> n8tuser: and the package is nowhere ot be found
[20:45] <neomic> anyone know a good .RAR program I can get in Synaptics?
[20:45] <ActionParsnip1> blound: its not on the repos, so must be 3rd party
[20:45] <blound> i check all repos i could find + ddeb.
[20:45] <n8tuser> blound -> perhaps they dont have it yet?
[20:45] <philsf> hey, I didn't know there was a skype64 already
[20:45] <asmob> ActionParsnip1: and if i have drivers but ubuntu dosnt allow 2 pc use 1 wireless
[20:45] <blound> n8tuser: that post is from oct 08
[20:45] <vock> ActionParsnip1: still out of luck :(
[20:45] <wolter> allquixotic, about how many samples does it take?
[20:45] <ActionParsnip1> asmob: is it connecting to a wireless router?
[20:45] <ActionParsnip1> vock: you could manually edit xorg.conf
[20:46] <vock> ActionParsnip1: just chacne the driver name?
[20:46] <ActionParsnip1> vock: here's mine: http://pastebin.com/f647ee16d
[20:46] <n8tuser> asmob -> describe your network layout please
[20:46] <allquixotic> wolter: Well, if you can *reproduce* the freeze itself, then taking very few samples would be fine. If you started sysprof and 3 seconds later your freeze behavior happens, then you can stop sampling. You only need to sample just long enough to have sysprof run "during" your freeze.
[20:46] <blound> n8tuser: why would it take 3+ months to get the package out?
[20:46] <philsf> superhero: please read everything there
[20:47] <asmob> ActionParsnip1: i have modem together with rooter i have 2 ubuntu 8.10 pc 1 can use wireless other not.. dont now it is driver problem or ubuntu
[20:47] <asmob> n8tuser:
[20:47] <wolter> allquixotic, i guess i dont know how to use this tool... how do i stop sampling?
[20:47] <n8tuser> blound -> not enuff support staff to do it?
[20:47] <philsf> !skype | superhero
[20:47] <wolter> allquixotic, with 'profile' ?
[20:47] <allquixotic> wolter: There should be a start and stop button :-)
[20:47] <heyjoe> i'm having trouble getting alsa sound working, here is my debug output from aadebug.sh: http://rafb.net/p/7cILIj31.html can someone explain to me how to fix it?
[20:47] <neomic> I just got Ubuntu yesterday, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good .RAR program that I could find in Synaptics?
[20:47] <n8tuser> asmob -> what?
[20:47] <wolter> allquixotic, 'profile' is next to 'start', but there is no 'stop' button
[20:48] <ActionParsnip1> asmob: well if: sudo iwlist scan    doesnt show any SSID's you need a driver
[20:48] <chetnick> Does anybody know how to play mp3 files in exaile?
[20:48] <ActionParsnip1> chetnick: can you play mp3 in other apps?
[20:48] <allquixotic> wolter: Oh, yes, I just checked the GUI myself. "profile" will take the current sample data and come up with the stats, and stop actively profiling, yes

[20:48] <princefarhaan> Hi Ubuntuers
[20:48] <vock> ActionParsnip1: After looking at yours, I have no idea what's wrong with mine, the Nvidia device sections are pretty much identical, I'm just missing a boardname but that seems pretty irrelevant
[20:48] <n8tuser> asmob -> describe your network layout please -- a nice drawing will be worth a thousand words
[20:48] <princefarhaan> how are you doing?
[20:48] <chetnick> ActionParsnip1: yes
[20:48] <wolter> allquixotic,
[20:48] <wolter> ok
[20:49] <princefarhaan> Need help with paltalk on ubuntu, if anyone has worked on it
[20:49] <princefarhaan> and was successful
[20:49] <neomic> Thank you.
[20:49] <asmob> ActionParsnip1: wlan0     No scan results
[20:49] <asmob>  before i can see my network and even write assword
[20:50] <asmob> n8tuser: : i have modem together with rooter i have 2 ubuntu 8.10 pc 1 can use wireless other not.. dont now it is driver problem or ubuntu
[20:50] <jarco> does anyone knows the package name to run divx and xvid files? i know it was somthing like gstremed or something ...
[20:50] <n8tuser> asmob -> describe your network layout please -- a nice drawing will be worth a thousand words
[20:50] <allquixotic> wolter: You want to click Start, then do whatever you do to cause the system stalling to happen, then press Profile as soon as you can after that
[20:50] <danbhfive> !codecs > jarco
[20:50] <chetnick> ActionParsnip1: i was googling, and installed all bunch of plugins that exaile suppose to use but still not playing, there must be some settings within the player itself, cant figure it out.
[20:50] <jarco> thx danbhfive
[20:51] <asmob> n8tuser: : i have modem together with rooter i have 2 ubuntu 8.10 pc 1 can use wireless other not.. dont now it is driver problem or ubuntu
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> !find gstreamer
[20:51] <ActionParsnip1> chetnick: if you run exsaile from command line and play an mp3 you should get intelligent output
[20:51] <n8tuser> asmob ->  a nice drawing will be worth a thousand words .. what you just said still does not give a good picture of what is connected to what
[20:51] <ActionParsnip1> vock: yeah thats not strictly necessary
[20:51] <wolter> allquixotic, ok, it happened, let me send you the file through pastebin
[20:52] <chetnick> ActionParsnip1: i will try that.
[20:52] <ActionParsnip1> vock: you could uninstall the 177 and install nvidia-glx-96
[20:53] <vock> Actionparsnip: I think i might try the other drivers, i have them installed, just not enabled, thanks for the help so far, going to take a nap and give it another go in a bit
[20:53] <ActionParsnip1> vock: make sure you remove all the nvidia stuff you can before instaling the new
[20:53] <asmob> n8tuser: i have conected 1 pc to wireless other to wired network roter is on WPA2
[20:53] <ActionParsnip1> vock: you're just gonna be wrestling this until you get roghted
[20:54] <vock> ActionParsnip1: oh, maybe the older ones are conflicting then, i 'll muck around with that
[20:54] <Arenlor> My /proc/cpuinfo says my cpu mhz is 800, I know that it's 1800 mhz though, is cpuinfo wrong, or is something wrong with my comp?
[20:54] <ActionParsnip1> vock: id suggest running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg each time
[20:54] <wolter> allquixotic, http://paste.ubuntu.com/109123/plain/
[20:54] <ActionParsnip1> vock: apt-cache search nvidia
[20:54] <ActionParsnip1> vock: ill show you whats available
[20:54] <n8tuser> asmob -> i have difficulty in understanding you,  one pc has a wireless nic card?
[20:55] <vock> ActionParsnip1: perfect, thanks
[20:55] <n8tuser> asmob -> a second pc is using ethernet?  and is currently wired to the router?
[20:56] <wolter> allquixotic, you do know that you can open it with the sysprof itself right?
[20:56] <n8tuser> asmob -> or all together this is one pc with two nics (1 wireless + 1 ethernet)  ?
[20:56] <Heme^> n8tuser, no connection in linux still, w3m couldnt connect, nor can I ping the nameserver from there
[20:56] <Heme^> n8tuser, pinging the nameserver tells that Destination Host Unreachable
[20:56] <superhero> phisf: its working now, I can said thank you to you through skype ;)
[20:57] <allquixotic> wolter: Yes, that's what I'm doing :)
[20:57] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1 I run the command fping and I found that 192.168.1.189 is alive (dlink dwl 900ap) access point. I also have another dwl 900ap that is setup up to be wireless bridge point to point.  Should it have its own separate IP address or would it just be under the access point (192.168.1.189) it works with??  How might I tell that it is "up" so to speak and running?
[20:57] <wolter> allquixotic, ah ok, i knew you did, just didn't want to waste your time sending you xml files =p
[20:57] <arvernes> I can't make ekiga to recognize my webcam. (it worked when I ran Fedora, but since I switched all my computers to ubuntu, my webcam doesn't want to work. I must do something wrong or a package is missing.?
[20:57] <allquixotic> wolter: You can look at it too, and I think we can both agree that the resource consumption by Xorg (/usr/bin/X) is fairly high
[20:57] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> with the info you provided, its seems like nothing should stop it, route is okay,  once more kindly post your /etc/hosts  file contents and  /etc/nsswitch.conf contents
[20:58] <BellinXFelon> what program can i use to put mp3 on my cell phone?
[20:58] <darkblue_B> Q. After upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy, I had minor errors that are now resolved.. but when I restart, I am getting a "Recovery Menu" screen, hitting enter aloows boot normally. How do I get rd of this safety screen now and let it boot ??! this is a headless machine normally
[20:58] <n8tuser> asmob -> you have not responded,
[20:58] <asmob_> n8tuser: yes
[20:58] <wolter> allquixotic, oh, i don't know, i saw that almost every process was consuming about 0.02
[20:58] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: ping it, it will reply
[20:58] <wolter> is that high?
[20:58] <allquixotic> wolter: Sort by the total CPU used
[20:58] <n8tuser> asmob ->  yes what?  i had to separate questions, answer them specifically
[20:59] <n8tuser> asmob ->  yes what?  i had two* separate questions, answer them specifically
[20:59] <oCean_> Arenlor: cpu scaling I guess
[20:59] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: if you have a pc acting as a wireless access point you will need to use a different network to the one between the first device and pc
[20:59] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1 From 192.168.1.152 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
[20:59] <aLeSD> is it possible to install a kernel of the 8.04 on the 8.10 ?
[20:59] <asmob_> n8tuser: one pc is wireless second pc is wired because i cant fix wireless
[20:59] <wassy121_> aLeSD: It is not recommended.  It probably won't work.
[20:59] <allquixotic> wolter: I'm on a Nvidia GTX 280 and I'm playing the 3d game Second Life with metacity compositing enabled... I ran sysprof, and even with all this heavy workload (including many firefox tabs etc) the kernel is only using 17%, and Xorg is only using 4%... the biggest user is the Second Life game itself
[20:59] <DefunctProcess> Hey when I click on Trash in nautilus it tells me operation is not supported, any idea why?
[21:00] <wolter> allquixotic, is it the /usr/X11R6/bin/X ?
[21:00] <allquixotic> wolter: Yes.
[21:00] <Arenlor> oCean_: How do I test to see if that's what it is?
[21:00] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1, I have the first (upstairs dwl900ap) running as xx.xx.1.189
[21:00] <aLeSD> wassy121_: ok
[21:00] <wassy121_> aLeSD: A better solution would be to figure out what is broken/different between the two, and fix the 8.10 kernel to work the same as the older kernel from 8.04.
[21:00] <wolter> allquixotic, ok, so i guess you've indentified the problem for me... what could be causing that?
[21:00] <allquixotic> wolter: A proper X.Org 2d driver (which runs in the /usr/X11R6/bin/X process space) will consume only negligible resources... so the X server *should not* be that busy.
[21:01] <oCean_> Arenlor: On desktop you can "add to panel" Choose "cpu freq scaling mon"
[21:01] <allquixotic> wolter: I'm trying to exercise my Xorg right now and it's still one of the quietest processes on my system, the busy stuff are the apps themselves.
[21:01] <n8tuser> asmob -> is the wired pc working?
[21:01] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: as long as its different network its fine
[21:01] <oCean_> Arenlor: click it and you'll be able to set it to max. Then see "cat /proc/cpuinfo" again.
[21:01] <allquixotic> wolter: Are you using the Nvidia proprietary drivers?
[21:01] <asmob_> n8tuser: yes
[21:01] <jagiil> hey
[21:01] <jarco> hello all. i just formatted a drive to ext3 format on my ubuntu. now i still cant see it. Being on linux i dont think i need to reboot. Any suggestions on how i can see the drive?
[21:01] <wolter> allquixotic, yes, but this started happening yesterday, and i have changed nothing about drivers since a long time ago...
[21:01] <n8tuser> asmob -> what is the chip used in your wifi nic?
[21:02] <wassy121_> allquixotic: Yeah, because the apps are the ones doing "the hard math", processing plane intersections and whatnot.  The X server is just displaying a "black box" for the app to write upon.
[21:02] <grafixbadnow> does anyone know how to customize the 'stocks' screenlet? I want to add more stock tickers
[21:02] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1it says in manual that you can use another one to extend the range of the network
[21:02] <wolter> allquixotic, i think i downloaded a virtualbox... should that affect?
[21:02] <Deany> jarco, is it external
[21:02] <n8tuser> !wireless | asmob    did you read this ?
[21:02] <Arenlor> oCean_: Thank you, that had been confusing me.
[21:02] <oCean_> jarco: after formatting, it still has to be mounted..
[21:02] <allquixotic> wassy121_: Exactly, my friend. But wolter here is having a performance bottleneck in his X server process itself, which puzzles me
[21:02] <jarco> Deany,  no internal sata 150 drive
[21:02] <Deany> what oCean_ said
[21:02] <jarco> oCean_,  dont you normally see it appear on the left side of the nautilus screen then?
[21:03] <oCean_> jarco: does "fdisk -l" show you the disk with the newly created partition?
[21:03] <allquixotic> wassy121_: Look at his sysprof, if you are so inclined... he pastebinned it... it shows his X process as using the most resources of anything, and he isn't using 3d applications [right wolter?] http://paste.ubuntu.com/109123/plain/
[21:03] <asmob_> n8tuser: yes i read thet to
[21:03] <DefunctProcess> Hey when I click on Trash in nautilus it tells me operation is not supported, any idea why?
[21:03] <jagiil> all the file systems (/boot /root /bin ,,,) has disappeared and they where replaced by junk data
[21:03] <Deany> jarco, if its internal then it has to be mounted..
[21:03] <n8tuser> asmob -> what is the chip used in your wifi nic?
[21:03] <oCean_> jarco: I have no idea if that is 'normal' behaviour
[21:03] <Deany> jarco, external it would come up on its own .
[21:03] <allquixotic> wolter: I have the virtualbox kernel modules loaded and it isn't affecting anything. Are you actually running a virtualbox instance right now?
[21:04] <wolter> allquixotic, wassy121_, no i am not using anything 3d... it happens even when i am running just gedit
[21:04] <n8tuser> jagiil -> are you booted of it now?
[21:04] <wolter> allquixotic, not at all
[21:04] <jarco> /dev/sda1   *           2       60801   488376000   83  Linux
[21:04] <wassy121_> wolter: allquixotic: That random XML could be a problem with sysprof itself, right?  I haven't seen that type of output before.  Is that from "gnome-system-monitor"?
[21:04] <jarco> not sure if that is it
[21:04] <Deany> how did you format it
[21:04] <wolter> wassy121_, i had no gnome-system-monitor open while running that sampling
[21:04] <Fuzzy> tell me a good download manager packgage pls
[21:05] <Deany> you must know which partition you formatted
[21:05] <allquixotic> wassy121_: The XML he pastebinned is a sysprof file. You would save that to a plain text file on your harddisk and open it using the Sysprof front-end, and it will display his system profile which he sampled while his Xorg was bottlenecking.
[21:05] <jagiil> no
[21:05] <n8tuser> Fuzzy -> dont know if manager is the key, but wget and curl does wonders
[21:05] <jarco> oCean_, i see it wuith the fdsik -l command
[21:05] <allquixotic> wassy121_: You wouldn't need to load the sysprof kernel modules to use it, only install the 'sysprof' package. It's a nice GTK frontend that has a File -> Open menu for this purpose :)
[21:05] <jagiil> i'm seeing it from live cd
[21:05] <n8tuser> jagiil -> then do a fresh install,
[21:05] <jarco> /dev/sda1 it is oCean_
[21:05] <Heme^> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/d3dced2be
[21:05] <jarco> any idea how to mount it?
[21:05] <ActionParsnip1> Fuzzy: d4x
[21:06] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1, here is what I am trying to do.  Use the dwl900ap upstairs (192.168.1.189) so my kids can use it to connect nintendo ds lite to internet for multiplayer.  The second dwl900ap is to go in the basement and act as an extension/repeater so to speak....so signal strength is better there.  The modes my dwl900ap can go into is Access Point, Access Point Client, Wireless Bridge Point to Point, or Wireless Bridge Point to Mult
[21:06] <Deany> jarco, you have to make a mount point and add it to fstab.. assuming you want it there pern
[21:06] <jagiil> but i need the data on that system
[21:06] <giovanny> why do girl's squirt
[21:06] <oCean_> jarco: first create a mountpoint
[21:06] <wassy121_> allquixotic: apt-getting now.
[21:06] <jarco> yeah ity needs to be mounted every time Deany
[21:06] <asmob_> n8tuser: Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[21:06] <jarco> how to create a mountpoint?
[21:06] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1 only the upstairs dwl900ap is actually wired to my adsl modem/router.
[21:06] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: can you draw a pic please
[21:06] <the[V]oid> help my remote (lirc) has stopped working, I have not changed anything, what could be the reason, how to debug??
[21:06] <Deany> let oCean_ handle it.. im busy anyhow
[21:06] <biouser> what would be the best thing to convert an animated gif to to add sound and eventually convert to flv with sound?
[21:06] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1, okay hang on.
[21:06] <jarco> it sais under boot: *
[21:06] <allquixotic> wolter: How do you have the Nvidia binary kernel modules installed? Are they from the Ubuntu repositories or do you have the latest stable from Nvidia's website/
[21:07] <wolter> allquixotic, ubuntu's.
[21:07] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> from what i can see of what you posted, i can not see what can throw it off, when you dual boot, do you move any cables at all? or nic cards?
[21:07] <giovanny> do ya have ubuntu
[21:07] <oCean_> jarco: that is a directory which you want the disk to be mounted at. Then "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /path/to/mountpoint"
[21:07] <allquixotic> wolter: Hmm. I am running the latest stable version of the binary drivers, 180.22, from Nvidia's website. They recently made the 180 series stable, and I doubt Ubuntu has pulled that into Intrepid
[21:07] <arvernes> Need help with ekiga. It seems ekiga works out of the box, according to the docs I found, but here my system doesn't recognize my webcam. It worked with the same hardware when I used fedora.
[21:07] <oCean_> Deany: I think we'll manage :)
[21:07] <allquixotic> wolter: I can't promise that you'll find a solution to your problem by doing that, but it's one possible thing to try
[21:07] <n8tuser> asmob -> if you have read that wireless guide, i think there is a tutorial on how to activate that atheros of yours
[21:08] <Deany> oCean_,  he wants it there on boot too..
[21:08] <asmob_> n8tuser: i have it activited
[21:08] <wolter> allquixotic, oh but i am afraid of doing such thing.. last time i did it in my old computer i had to reinstall the system because of driver conflicts..
[21:08] <oCean_> Deany: I think I'll manage that too :D
[21:08] <the[V]oid> could a lirc device node be something different than /dev/lircX?
[21:08] <n8tuser> asmob -> how are you verifying it?
[21:08] <princefarhaan> my webcam was working with kopete
[21:08] <Heme^> n8tuser, nothing, there are no cables on my lappy cept the power cord, and nothing physical is moved
[21:08] <allquixotic> wolter: The nvidia binary drivers just keep getting better and more stable. I wouldn't worry terribly much about it. You're already running the nvidia drivers; all it would do is update them.
[21:08] <oCean_> jarco: did your mount command succeed?
[21:08] <princefarhaan> but now kopete does not find it
[21:09] <princefarhaan> anyway, where I can change the settings?
[21:09] <BellinXFelon> n8tuser can you help me with something if i pm you?
[21:09] <Deany> oCean_, im sure you can
[21:09] <wolter> But allquixotic, this is not relative to my nvidia drivers, for this problem manifested itself debutant yesterday, but the last time I upgraded my nvidia drivers was way back than yesterday.
[21:09] <jarco> mount: kan /dev/sda1 niet vinden in /etc/fstab noch in /etc/mtab
[21:09] <jarco>  meaning in english: Cant dint /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or in /etc/mtab
[21:09] <princefarhaan> i meant to say is there anyway to do that?
[21:09] <Morclye> First step in getting openDNS to work is troublesome for me. gksudo network-admin terminal command does nothing. It seems to be loading something for a brief moment but I see nothing happening.
[21:09] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> oh yeah, you're wireless.. can you at least ping your AP/router gateway ip address?
[21:09] <wolter> allquixotic, yes, but then Hardware Drivers says I have my card disabled and not in use.
[21:09] <allquixotic> wolter: What has changed on your system since yesterday? Anything besides pure data?
[21:10] <wolter> I don't recall any important change...
[21:10] <n8tuser> BellinXFelon -> nope, i will not assist via a pm
[21:10] <Deany> just repartitioned my external (ntfs and jfs to 1 big jfs).  had trouble with it remembering the priv`s i set.. i had to reboot in the end... odd
[21:10] <asmob_> n8tuser: i can see it in hardware drivers page..
[21:10] <allquixotic> wolter: Any stable release updates using update-manager in system tray?
[21:10] <jarco> u got my reply oCean_ ?
[21:10] <Flare183> Is it possible to open .ima files on Ubuntu?
[21:10] <wolter> In fact no. There was no major change. The only thing I remember is to start coding in python again.
[21:10] <n8tuser> asmob -> try another tool, read up on that guide please
[21:10] <BellinXFelon> n8tuser -> i am trying to put mp3 on my cell phone through usb
[21:10] <oliver3> Hello people. I'm trying to use Ardour and Audacity but they're complaining a lot. I think it has something to do with PulseAudio, how would I go about switching to esd or something else? :(
[21:10] <Deany> I could make new folders/files, but could not paste the folders i`d backed up to my other partition.. weird..
[21:11] <Deany> mind you ive screwed around with my external so much its no wonder
[21:11] <oCean_> jarco: you should issue the complete command. From the error you getting, I know you typed "mount /dev/sda1" But you'll have to add the mountpoint. "mount /dev/sda1 /mountpoint"
[21:11] <n8tuser> BellinXFelon -> i dont have much experience with that.. but you can try plugging in your cellfone and see if your ubuntu reconginzes it as a storage device
[21:11] <oCean_> jarco: the other options is that you make en entry in /etc/fstab, that way the disk will also be mounted the next boot
[21:11] <BellinXFelon> n8tuser -> i did that and it hasnt recognized it
[21:11] <jarco> oCean_, i dunno what that mountpoint should be
[21:12] <asmob_> n8tuser: problem is not in tools i can even see my network but i cant connect and i want now why?
[21:12] <allquixotic> oliver3: Ardour _requires_ JACK. Audacity won't work with JACK, but there are efforts to make it work with PulseAudio. If you want to run both Ardour and Audacity and maintain a functional system (i.e. continue to use PulseAudio for everything else), you may want to try PulseAudio -> JACK -> raw ALSA. It's a complex setup unfortunately. Requires configuration tweaks.
[21:12] <ActionParsnip1> asmob_: try wifi-radar instead of network manager
[21:12] <oCean_> jarco: It's the name of a directory you choose.. Like /disk1 or /music
[21:12] <n8tuser> BellinXFelon -> then i dont have much more info
[21:12] <n8tuser> asmob_ -> can you tell me the command you used to see your network?
[21:13] <dreamy> Jack_Sparrow:
[21:13] <oliver3> allquixotic, would it be easier to setup for just ardour? Any idea how I'd do that?
[21:13] <dreamy> Jack_Sparrow:  hi
[21:13] <allquixotic> wolter: The hardware drivers applet doesn't really reflect the actual state of the drivers, it just tells you whether Ubuntu's version of the driver is in use :P But hm! Maybe envyng-gtk will have the latest Nvidia drivers :)
[21:13] <BellinXFelon> n8tuser -> ok thanks
[21:13] <oCean_> jarco: first of all, make that mountpoint: "mkdir /disk1"
[21:13] <jarco> when i mount it with that command it will also mount on reboot? oCean_
[21:13] <asmob_> n8tuser: i dont use comands
[21:13] <oCean_> jarco: no not yet. For that, we'll have to edit /etc/fstab file
[21:13] <CyberCod> jarco: no, for that you'd have to put it in the /etc/fstab file
[21:13] <n8tuser> asmob_ -> then it is about time for you to learn the command line..
[21:13] <asmob_> n8tuser: im new to ubuntu
[21:14] <n8tuser> asmob_ -> even better, time to learn the command line
[21:14] <wassy121_> n8tuser: just scared asmob_ away from linux forever.
[21:14] <_Vi_> lol
[21:14] <wassy121_> Now he is going to write a hateful internet column, and 3000 people will have to defend linux.
[21:14] <asmob_> wassy121_ yeah :)
[21:14] <n8tuser> wassy121 -> well, one has to learn command line
[21:14] <wassy121_> Not to set up your network you don't.
[21:15] <jarco> mm ok i see that now
[21:15] <asmob_> i learn some of them
[21:15] <oliver3> allquixotic, I've sorted it now. Thanks for your help.
[21:15] <wassy121_> Maybe if you want to see _exactly_ what the error means, and how it happened.
[21:15] <oliver3> :)
[21:15] <asmob_> but i cant learn all in 3 days
[21:15] <allquixotic> oliver3: Oh have you? Good!
[21:15] <jarco> it seems to contain a lost+found folder what i cannot access ...
[21:15] <wolter> allquixotic, well, to be sincere, i promised myself not to use envyng ever again, but i guess it might be necessary
[21:15] <oCean_> jarco: you shouldn't, it's there for filesystem purposes
[21:15] <n8tuser> asmob_ ->  then take more time, no one said you have to learn these in 3 days
[21:15] <wolter> now that now i remember, maybe there was a linux header update...
[21:16] <oCean_> jarco: leave it be. However you've succeeded! You could make a directory or copy files to that disk now
[21:16] <wassy121_> wolter: what is your uptime?
[21:16] <jarco> ok oCean_  is it normal btw that the disk is 7 gig is used on it? i didnt put anything in yet
[21:16] <asmob_> n8tuser: so you cant help me then i'm waisting my time i will find one who will help
[21:16] <n8tuser> asmob_ -> i dont think you have read the wireless guide, those tools were mentioned there
[21:16] <wolter> maybe it caused malfunction with the gfx card allquixotic wassy121_
[21:16] <fearlessdawg> asmob_ if you look at this link, it has a few guides to learning the basics of CLI http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/cli.html
[21:16] <wolter> wassy121_, where do i see that?
[21:16] <Guest80947> hi, i'm really new to ubuntu, and anyone help with a couple of problems?
[21:16] <wassy121_> wolter: as in, have you rebooted recently?  You can run 'w' to see your current uptime.
[21:16] <CyberCod> Guest80947: what's the problem?
[21:16] <jarco> oCean_, i canty make a folder on it. Access denied
[21:17] <n8tuser> asmob_ -> go ahead find someone to assist you, you have to do your part of reading though
[21:17] <Schuenemann> how can I set the layout variant for my keyboard? I don't see that in system > preferences > keyboard
[21:17] <oCean_> jarco: depends a bit on how you created the partition and how the formatting was done.
[21:17] <wassy121_> asmob_: There is a good document on ubuntu's site regarding using the network applet.  I think a google search for "ubuntu network applet" should take you there.
[21:17] <Guest80947> 2 things:  i FINALLY got past the Atheros problem with my wifi, but i have to do the compat-wireless fix everytime i reboot or shutdown
[21:17] <ActionParsnip1> jarco: check permissions on the mount
[21:17] <jarco> i used gparted and mounted it with the command u provided. ...
[21:17] <wolter> wassy121_, well yes... like 11am today.. now its 3pm
[21:17] <jarco> how ActionParsnip1
[21:18] <oCean_> jarco: as superuser create a folder "sudo mkdir /disk1/folder1" then change the permissions and/or ownership of the folder1 directory, then user can access that folder
[21:18] <Morclye> Why gksudo network-admin command does not give me any visual mark that command actually does something?
[21:18] <fearlessdawg> ﻿Schuenemann: it is there in the layout tab, just click the add button
[21:18] <wassy121_> Schuenemann: I usually add a keyboard switcher to my panel, and set them up in there.
[21:18] <jarco> oCean_,  i need to do that every time? i would like to have a normal user be able to access it also
[21:19] <Schuenemann> fearlessdawg, can't I type it? My variant is 'thinkpad' and I don't have that option to choose
[21:19] <wassy121_> Schuenemann: Wait, I am confused.
[21:19] <oCean_> jarco: sure. Open the file /etc/fstab in an editor and add a line for this disk/mountpoint
[21:19] <Schuenemann> wassy121_, what
[21:19] <wassy121_> Schuenemann: The keyboard layout is the difference between qwerty, dvorak, russian, chinese, etc.
[21:19] <allquixotic> wolter: I'm out of ideas unless you can update your graphics drivers to the latest from Nvidia. . . Either that, or if you *really* do not need 3d applications, you can try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the 'nvidia' driver to 'nv', which is the open source, 2d-only driver. It may be faster for 2d-only desktop use, or at least it may not have your 2d performance bug.
[21:20] <jarco> oCean_, and then after reboot it will be ok?
[21:20] <Schuenemann> wassy121_, right... there is my layout, but not my variant
[21:20] <oCean_> jarco: Indeed
[21:20] <Cpudan80> Schuenemann: the regular US layout works on the thinkpad
[21:20] <wolter> allquixotic, oh please, do not dare to insult my need of 3d games.
[21:20] <wassy121_> Schuenemann: I guess I don't know the difference :(
[21:20] <Cpudan80> Schuenemann: what keys dont work?
[21:21] <Schuenemann> Cpudan80, mine is brazilian. The only key that doesn't work is the slash/question mark
[21:21] <jarco> well just wandering ... whats all this in the other disk stuff i need to copy it? udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
[21:21] <wassy121_> (please say the calculator key)
[21:21] <Cpudan80> oh brazillian
[21:21] <Cpudan80> dunno about that
[21:21] <jarco> UUID=cc92d447-5c70-4793-8ab2-85b53e7dca76 none
[21:21] <Elad> hello all
[21:21] <allquixotic> wolter: No insult intended, I just didn't know whether you use them or not!
[21:21] <Schuenemann> Cpudan80, the command setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout br -variant thinkpad works perfectly, but I can't find that in preferences
[21:21] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1  http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee359/RacerWhy5/wifidiagram2.jpg
[21:21] <bender1337> hi, my computer will be running fine and then the mouse slows down and when i try to restart x my comp freezes
[21:21] <wolter> allquixotic, well, i might give a shot to envy
[21:22] <adnan> hey guys, what command can i used with clamdscan to recursively scan my / dir.
[21:22] <oCean_> jarco: add following line in /etc/fstab "/dev/sda1 /disk1 ext3 defaults 0 0". Sure there are more options, but you can find the "man mount" page I guess :-)
[21:22] <adnan> I should also mention that clamd is running as a seperate user
[21:22] <Elad> I cant user "usplash" 1440x900 resolution ... someone can help me please? (nvidia 5200, ubuntu 8.10)
[21:22] <Cpudan80> Schuenemann: you could add that command to the startup if you had to
[21:22] <Cpudan80> !brokenusplash | Elad
[21:22] <wassy121_> Schuenemann: Ahh, I get both layout and variant for brazil when I go to the keyboard preferences.
[21:22] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: checking
[21:22] <jarco> this line will make it mount on boot and be writable from gnome and from normal user? oCean_
[21:22] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1 thanks.  Any questions let me know.  First dwl900ap is upstairs and wired....second one is in the basement
[21:23] <Guest80947> is there a way to enable my atheros driver without using the compat-wireless 'make" everytime i reboot?
[21:23] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: ok you need 2 ip ranges
[21:23] <wassy121_> Schuenemann: ahh, you need a non-listed variant.  Hmm, I have never even seen how this works.
[21:23] <Schuenemann> wassy121_, yeah, exacly :-/
[21:23] <Elad> # Usplash configuration file xres=1440 yres=900 .... but it's not working
[21:23] <Heme^> n8tuser, no, couldnt ping the router either
[21:23] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: everything touching adsl modem / router need to be on 1 network (e.g. 192.168.1.x)
[21:23] <oCean_> jarco: you can test it by unmounting the currently mounted drive "umount /disk1" and then test the new /etc/fstab entry by using "mount -a" command.
[21:24] <Heme^> n8tuser, http://pastebin.com/d6f1cca4a ran all the scans you asked for again just in case something has changed in the tuning
[21:24] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1 well my first LAN (the upstairs one if you will) has everything on 192.168.1.x like you say
[21:24] <jarco> ok oCean_  i try now
[21:24] <grafixbadnow> is anyone running screenlets?
[21:24] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: including the printer and half of the dwl 900AP will be on 192.168.1.x
[21:24] <Elad> Cpudan80, any ideas?
[21:24] <cdenny> is there a peerguardian type of application for ubuntu?
[21:24] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1 it is how to setup the basement dwl900ap that Im not sure about.
[21:25] <Cpudan80> Elad: run the "usplash" command to simulate it -- see what it says
[21:25] <Deany> oCean_, still lol..
[21:25] <wassy121_> Schuenemann: I am going to take a look, see if I can't find where the list of variants is defined.  It may be just a gconf key.
[21:25] <oCean_> Deany: don't laugh :)
[21:25] <Deany> oCean_, just messin,.
[21:25] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: the ds and the stuff on the bottom side of the dwl 900ap will have a different network range (e.g. 192.168.2.x)
[21:25] <Schuenemann> wassy121_, alright, thanks
[21:25] <oCean_> Deany: =)
[21:25] <Elad> Cpudan80, usplash: can't get console font: Invalid argument
[21:25] <Deany> oCean_, ive no patience today.
[21:25] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> you can not even ping 192.168.0.1 ?
[21:25] <fearlessdawg> ﻿Schuenemann: can have you set your keyboard model?
[21:25] <Heme^> nop
[21:26] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: you cant have them all on the same network address or it wont work)
[21:26] <jarco> oCean_, sorry to keep nagging you but i cant unmount it
[21:26] <wolter> allquixotic, i was kj about you insulting me, gota eat now
[21:26] <Cpudan80> Elad: yeah - google "usplash console font error"
[21:26] <jarco> disk is busy oCean_
[21:26] <oCean_> Deany: than this is not the place to be :)
[21:26] <The_Rebel> anyone know a command for viewing network I/O? like TX/upload speed?
[21:26] <allquixotic> wolter: I'll probably be around.
[21:26] <oCean_> jarco: yes!
[21:26] <Heme^> n8tuser, destination host unreachable
[21:26] <clau30> hi. I want to share my internet with a mobile device through bluetooth... could someone direct me to some tutorial?
[21:26] <Deany> oCean_, its a good place to loiter
[21:26] <oCean_> jarco: YOU are on the disk! (i guess)
[21:26] <CyberCod> clau30: what is the device?
[21:26] <Schuenemann> fearlessdawg, with setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout br -variant thinkpad, yes. But I need that in preferences
[21:26] <jarco> oCean_,  no i closed all windows
[21:26] <clau30> CyberCod: a nokia n810
[21:27] <Guest770> marine1
[21:27] <CyberCod> clau30: I know of a tutorial for palm but it may work for you
[21:27] <oCean_> jarco: surely, still something is there. Maybe you in a terminal?
[21:27] <clau30> great :)
[21:27] <jarco> oCean_,  nvm i just reboot :p thats also going to test it
[21:27] <Elad> Cpudan80, but when I boot, it's show me the splash, on 640x480 resolution insted 1440x900
[21:27] <CyberCod> you're talking about sharing the house net to the device, right?
[21:27] <oCean_> jarco: fuser -m /disk1 shows you what is keeping the mountpoint busy
[21:27] <jarco> omg oCean_ u where right. i slap myself now
[21:27] <n8tuser> Heme^ -> can you ping localhost? ping 192.168.0.139 ?
[21:27] <Cpudan80> Elad: try some other resolution in that file
[21:27] <grafixbadnow> can anyone help customize screenlets?
[21:27] <allquixotic> The_Rebel: System -> Administration -> System Monitor
[21:27] <oCean_> jarco: I've been there too :)
[21:27] <clau30> CyberCod:  yep
[21:27] <Cpudan80> Elad: 1024x768 is supported
[21:28] <Cpudan80> as is 1280x1024
[21:28] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1 okay, so you are saying that I will need to set the ip on the second (basement) 900ap to something like 192.168.2.2
[21:28] <The_Rebel> allquixotic, i wanted a command line options
[21:28] <Heme^> n8tuser, yea I guess, I was pinging something earlier and got a response, not many other addies left
[21:28] <The_Rebel> but this works too
[21:28] <CyberCod> clau30: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=Py&q=reverse+DUN+ubuntu+bluetooth&btnG=Search
[21:28] <clau30> thanks CyberCod!
[21:28] <Elad> brb - rebooting
[21:29] <Guest770> Jack_Sparrow, what's good doh
[21:29] <guntbert> The_Rebel: have you seen iptraf?
[21:29] <The_Rebel> nope
[21:29] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1 which mode will I want it in, access point, access point client, wireless bridge point to point, wireless bridge point to multi point?
[21:29] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: if you have a router, you will need 2 different network IPs on each side
[21:29] <The_Rebel> but thanks, i'll check that out
[21:29] <CyberCod> just FYI for everyone, the Free Linux Helpline podcast will be on in 3.5 hours  www.freelinuxhelpline.net
[21:29] <jarco> oCean_, i did it with mount -a and still it sais that i cant make a folder? Perhaps because i had to sudo the command?
[21:29] <wassy121_> Schuenemann: It looks like it uses the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst
[21:29] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: so that their are 2 different networks on each side
[21:30] <allquixotic> The_Rebel: If you want more fine grained info based on per-process, you could try Wireshark. It has enough command line options, you may even be able to get it to run in a headless environment, not sure
[21:30] <T`2> anyone know how to do QoS on ubuntu?
[21:30] <T`2> i want to limit upload/download rate for a certain IP on my NAT
[21:30] <guntbert> The_Rebel: try it, it delivers probably more detail than you want, but ...
[21:30] <snakeman55> Can anyone help with a quick Filezilla question?
[21:30] <allquixotic> T`2: wondershaper limits your upload/download rate, you may be able to adapt it to your needs
[21:30] <Dante123> so if the one side with the upstairs dwl900ap is 192.168.1.x (in this case the upstairs dwl is .189) then the downstairs one has to be something like 192.168.2.2 right?
[21:30] <The_Rebel> cool thanks allquixotic
[21:30] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1 so if the one side with the upstairs dwl900ap is 192.168.1.x (in this case the upstairs dwl is .189) then the downstairs one has to be something like 192.168.2.2 right?
[21:31] <T`2> allquixotic, hi, i tried that, but it does it for the whole interface i think
[21:31] <oCean_> jarco: yes, that's just a permissions issue. The mountpoint itself (when it's in / root, like /disk1) belongs to root. So subfolders can be created by the superuser only, until you set permissions for other users to access that subidrecotry
[21:31] <guntbert> !anyone | snakeman55
[21:31] <T`2> allquixotic, i want per ip based
[21:31] <T`2> allquixotic, and it doesn't have any options for that :/
[21:31] <snakeman55> Righto
[21:31] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: sure, then you have 2 networks due to your subnet mask being 255.255.255.0
[21:31] <allquixotic> T`2: Are you using Ubuntu as a NAT for several other computers and you want to limit individual hosts to certain up/down rates?
[21:31] <oCean_> jarco: however, the mount -a succeeded, right?
[21:31] <T`2> allquixotic, yes
[21:31] <ocRob> I am having an issue after trying to install turbogears: http://pastebin.com/d3fd13151
[21:31] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: means the first 3 numbers are network
[21:31] <snakeman55> I connected to my friends flashfxp no problem, I can view his directory but transfers always fail
[21:31] <Schuenemann> wassy121_, I think I'll add it there and try
[21:31] <jarco> oCean_,  when i will reboot normally now it will be ok for all users? or i need to do something for it. Btw mount - a succseeded
[21:31] <priapus> dear friends, greetings to all, was wondering if anybody can help me in sharing a pppoe connection
[21:32] <Guest80947> CyberCod:  would you be able to point me in the right direction?
[21:32] <wassy121_> Schuenemann: The file seems to have the 'thinkpad' option, but it is in "model", not in "variant"
[21:32] <Deany> good job oCean_
[21:32] <allquixotic> T`2: Ok, I'm not sure how to do that, but let's see... Someone made open source Linux-based firmware for the Linksys WRT* routers and I'm sure that has such a feature, so the packages must be out there!
[21:32] <ActionParsnip1> !ics | priapus
[21:32] <T`2> allquixotic, umm.. WRT routers support per ip QoS?
[21:32] <triengo> HALLO
[21:32] <Deany> jarco, tip the waiter on the way out
[21:32] <triengo> nabend
[21:32] <cdenny> is there something like peerguardian for utorrent
[21:32] <guntbert> !de | triengo
[21:32] <oCean_> jarco: one thing: as long as the mountpointdirectory itself (/disk1) is owned by root, user will not be able to create subfolders (eh... directories i mean)
[21:32] <jarco> ? Deany :D:D:D:D
[21:33] <CyberGabber> Whenever I setup a succesfull VPN (pptp) to my Work, my local LAN / internet isn't available anymore. Is there anything (like add routes) to solve that? p.s. I'm using the KVpnv tool.
[21:33] <snakeman55> Anyone else having ati radeon issues with 8.10?
[21:33] <Deany> cdenny, what is peerguardian
[21:33] <triengo> kann mir jeman verraten ob ich widows messenger instalieren kannẞ
[21:33] <snakeman55> Like vlc frame skipping?
[21:33] <guntbert> !de | triengo
[21:33] <jarco> can i make it usable by all users? like my other disks? oCean_ ?
[21:33] <oCean_> jarco: You can change the mountpoint to a directory where normal users do have access.
[21:33] <priapus> i have already read them, installed firestarter but could not make it happen
[21:33] <user___> triengo: deutsch bitte nur in #ubuntu-de
[21:33] <Dante123> ActionParsnip1 so what I need to do is reconfigure the basement dwl900ap.  But that is where I need some help.  The ip address can be 192.168.2.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.  But it will then want to know the channel, the mode, and the Gateway, whether or not to have dhcp client enabled/disabled, and the primary port (ethernet or wireless).  Those are the variables I dont know how to complete on the configuration program.
[21:33] <triengo> wie heht dasẞ
[21:34] <triengo> g
[21:34] <jarco> ah ok oCean_  i will make it in my home folder then :D:D
[21:34] <jagiil> all the file systems (/boot /root /bin ,,,) has disappeared and they where replaced by junk data and can't afford to format
[21:34] <user___> triengo: tippe /join #ubuntu-de
[21:34] <oCean_> jarco: indeed, that'll do the trick
[21:34] <oCean_> jarco: you can also see "man mount" for options
[21:35] <cdenny> deany blocks ips so the riaa cant get you
[21:35] <Guest770> alright fellas i created apartition which is unallocated and i can't incorporate it on my livecd
[21:35] <jarco> ok oCean_ . I have to thank you inceadably loads for this information. it wouls have taken me days to find this all out. U should get a statue or something
[21:35] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: well the gateway is your adsl routers ip
[21:35] <priapus> pppoe modem --> eth0 --->gw--->ath0
[21:35] <Schuenemann> wassy121_, seems it didn't work. I added it under "br", but I did not appear in preferences
[21:35] <oCean_> jarco: :-) just glad to be of help.. like lots of other great people here :) Enjoy!
[21:36] <ActionParsnip1> Dante123: channel / mode is something i dunno
[21:36] <Guest770> alright fellas i created a partition which is unallocated and i can't incorporate it on my livecd need help
[21:36] <ActionParsnip1> !ics | Dante123
[21:36] <biouser> I want to create a high-quality screencast with audio, I like the quality of byzanz's animated gif but having a hard time adding sound converting it to .flv... does anyone have a good solution?
[21:36] <cdenny> !ntfs
[21:36] <wassy121_> Schuenemann: then I am out of ideas.  Sorry, sir.  That seems to be where it is read from (based on strace), but I don't know how it matches up that file with keymaps, you know?
[21:36] <jarco> great thx oCean_  +1 from me for president
[21:36] <cdenny> !NTFS-3G
[21:37] <Guest770> i use the existing hardrive space from windows but in gparted i can't do anything with the unallocated partition. just create a new one
[21:37] <priapus> i would be greatly obliged if anyone who knows about networks and ip tables pm me
[21:38] <Guest770> i'm ttrying to merge it into my ext 3 parttion
[21:38] <dante123_> ActionParsnip1 also this page and the next one show you what I have to fill in http://www.fixya.com/support/p277618-d_link_airplus_dwl_900ap_802_11b/manual-14285/page-20
[21:38] <Sudaneze> Hello there , I wonder does any one know how to add a modem to network manager ?
[21:39] <Guest770>  alright fellas i created apartition which is unallocated and i can't incorporate it on my livecd
[21:39] <Guest770> trying to merge it into my linux ext 3
[21:39] <oCean_> priapus: no network expert, but I know there's also a #iptables channel.. they might be able to help you out
[21:39] <guntbert> !repeat | Guest770
[21:39] <dante123_> ActionParsnip1 you there....I had to start xchat because pidgin dc'es sometimes
[21:40] <LeonBrussels> Hm ubuntu takes 1:50 from 0 to netbook-remix and I think that's too long. Anything I could do for massive speed improvements? I have got the optimized kernel...
[21:40] <Gerinych> guest770: right click on your ext3 partition and click resize/move
[21:40] <LeonBrussels> That is on an eePc 701 BTW
[21:40] <Guest770> Gerinych, i've tried that but it will only let me resize whatever is left on the ext which is a few gigs left
[21:40] <priapus> thank u oCean
[21:41] <dreamy> Jack_Sparrow: jack .. do u know if the dri has to be loaded in xorg.conf ?
[21:41] <Gerinych> guest770: ok, is the unallocated space on the same drive as your ext3 partition?
[21:41] <Guest770> Gerinych, i just used the remaining hardrive space left on my windows side
[21:41] <Gerinych> guest770: so, you have one hard drive?
[21:42] <dante123_> Jack_Sparrow son's monitor is able to do 1440 x 900 but it doesn't go that high on nvidia settings program under intrepid?  How can I set this to work for him at higher resolution?
[21:42] <xavier> i downloaded jre-6u11-linux-x64.bin from javas site but what do ido now to install
[21:42] <Guest770> Gerinych, that is correct
[21:42] <dayo> nite_johnboy: which desktop environment are u using?
[21:43] <Gerinych> guest770: can you send me a screen of what you have on your gparted right now?
[21:43] <Guest770> Gerinych, how is that done??
[21:43] <Gerinych> guest770: printscreen
[21:43] <user___> xavier: why is the java version from the repo not suitable for you?
[21:44] <Guest770> Gerinych, where is that located
[21:44] <Gerinych> guest770: its supposed to open a "save file" dialog when you press that
[21:44] <xavier> user: which 1 do i use none said 64 bit
[21:45] <the_dark_warrio> I have a windows vista on the LAN and I can see it on Places > Network. But, when I enter it, it should ask for a user/pass, but instead, it shows an empty folder.. Any tips?
[21:45] <dante123_> hey, is there a command that upgrades or checks to see if entire system (say including wine if installed)
[21:45] <Bob_Dole>  the behavior is weird..anything that needs time to become a USB mass storage device(mp3 players) don't mount as drives, and are not recognized, unless I reboot, leaving them attached and in Mass Storage mode
[21:45] <lazukars_> How do you update the fuse filesystem?
[21:45] <Guest770> Gerinych, where is it located print screen??
[21:45] <Gerinych> guest770: its a button on the keyboard, north of insert/delete
[21:46] <nite_johnboy> Hi - Going to setup a Media center box in my living room hooked to my wide screen tv - This will be a second linux box w/Ibex on the same network - Is it fairly easy for the networking? Can someone point me in the direction of some help/info reading on this - to get up to speed ? ?
[21:46] <dalegribble> hi, can anyone tell me which repository to use to obtain an apache 1.x version in 8.04?
[21:46] <user___> xavier: hmm, do you mean: "i dont know which version of java i am currently using"?
[21:46] <Schuenemann> wassy121_, ahh, finally got it. I choose model IBM Thinkpad 560Z, Brazil, Brazil
[21:46] <xerox1> short question: will there be support for kde3 in the future for kubuntu users or do they have to change to kde4?
[21:47] <Guest770> Gerinych,  it popeed up what do i do now
[21:47] <xavier> user: its a new install on a brand new system 64 bit finally
[21:47] <mib_blrp9y> hey guys quick questions does the server edition of ubuntu include a gui enviorment?
[21:47] <Gerinych> guest770: save it somewhere, then host the picture on imageshack and send the link to me
[21:48] <Deathspike> It doesnt, but you can install it mib_blrp9y.
[21:48] <xavier> no keyboard atm so mouse typeing
[21:48] <Deathspike> Can anybody recommend theme's which are easy on the eye, no dark themes?
[21:48] <user___> xavier: i cant follow you, sorry, i put the question back to the group
[21:48] <Schuenemann> Deathspike, tried gnome-look?
[21:48] <Guest770> Gerinych,  i saved it to my desktop how do i access imageshack
[21:48] <Bob_Dole> Dark is much easier on the eyes, white backgrounds hurt my eyes :(
[21:48] <Deathspike> Yeah Schuenemann, browsed it allot. 80% is dark themes tho :<
[21:49] <Gerinych> guest770: open mozilla, type in imageshack.us in the address bar
[21:49] <Deathspike> Dark themes aren't really good when you look at light websites and are in white-background development 95% of the time :P
[21:49] <ubuntunewb> hello
[21:49] <ubuntunewb> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[21:49] <ubuntunewb> how do i solve that?
[21:49] <Guest770> Gerinych,  already on the page
[21:49] <biouser> anyone creating hi-quality screencasts with audio in one step?
[21:49] <guntbert> !info sun-java6-bin | xavier
[21:49] <mib_blrp9y> Deathspike: thanks, and i think the default does a good job of keeping your eyes neutral
[21:50] <Schuenemann> how do I enable mp3 support in intrepid? I added the medibuntu repo and did a upgrade but I still can't play them in totem
[21:50] <Gerinych> guest770: click browse, find the screenshot and press "host it"
[21:50] <biouser> or at all creating hi-quality screencasts?
[21:51] <Guest770> Gerinych,  it's says bad file
[21:51] <biouser> Schuenemann I don't remember the last time that something played in totem. ..
[21:51] <biouser> anything
[21:51] <xavier> ok reasking question this way: how do i install java on ubuntu 64bit
[21:51] <ubuntunewb> can anoyne help?
[21:51] <rob1101> biouser, same here VLC ftw
[21:51] <Schuenemann> biouser, what? totem isn't used anymore?
[21:51] <Deathspike> Agreed on that one, using Audacious for instance helps allot.
[21:52] <Gerinych> guest770: ok, let's try something different
[21:52] <Schuenemann> I used to play xmms, but it's not in the repos anymore
[21:52] <Nintendork> ActionParsnip1
[21:52] <Gerinych> guest770: where is the unpartitioned space in gparted?
[21:52] <Deathspike> VLC/Audacious is a winning combination replacing Totem. :P
[21:52] <guntbert> biouser: google 'ubuntu create screencast' gives a lot of links :)
[21:52] <Deathspike> But Totem supports for firefox plugins so keep it around.
[21:52] <Guest770> Gerinych,  i'm trying to figure this out
[21:52] <Omar> my ubuntu 8.10 can't record from the mic
[21:52] <Omar> is there any common problem
[21:53] <Guest770> Gerinych, yes it is
[21:53] <Bob_Dole> So, no one knows why I have to restart my computer to get ubuntu to recognize my MP3 players as mass storage devices, when both mac OS X and windows recognize them?
[21:53] <Nintendork> Anyone else have problems with Pidgin disconnecting???
[21:53] <Deathspike> Nintendork: Not here.
[21:53] <guntbert> xavier: thats why I sent you that link, I'm on 64bit and I've installed that version
[21:53] <biouser> guntbert I have been crawling google for a few hours following dead-end paths... the best quality I have been able to get is from byzanz but I am having a hard time working with the animated gif needing to add sound and get to flv eventually
[21:53] <Guest770> Gerinych,  it worked now what do i do
[21:53] <Gerinych> guest770: what worked?
[21:53] <Guest770> imageshack
[21:54] <Guest770> Gerinych, imageshack whicj link do i send you
[21:54] <Nintendork> Pidgin under 8.10 (upgraded from 8.04) quits on me sometimes after a few minutes.  Don't know if it is pidgin or ISP- but other internet connections are fine.
[21:54] <jamiejackson> all i can hear from my laptop is crackling, starting a couple days ago. any ideas?
[21:54] <jamiejackson> (instead of audio)
[21:54] <biouser> guntbert seems a lot of posts are outdated and my video/sound is tenuous having a ATI radeon on jaunty with questionable pulse audio... in fact I need a reboot now....
[21:54] <Gerinych> guest770: any link's fine
[21:54] <dalegribble> found it here, thanks https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache

[21:55] <xavier> guntbert: but what do i type to use that n terminal
[21:55] <Nintendork> Pidgin doesnt actually quit.  It just disconnects and then I cant go into any rooms etc.
[21:55] <Gerinych> guest770: ok, which one are you trying to extend, i see 2 ext3 partitions
[21:55] <Guest770> Gerinych, did you get it
[21:55] <Gerinych> guest770: yaeh
[21:55] <comicinker> what's the name of the tool that you a package to install if misstypeded something?
[21:56] <Gerinych> guest770: yeah
[21:56] <comicinker> jesus
[21:56] <Guest770> Gerinych,  /dev/sda5
[21:56] <Deathspike> Question: Does NTFS actually have a negative impact on performance when comparing with ... EFS3 (whatever the partition name was)?
[21:56] <guntbert> xavier: apt-get install sun-java6-bin (should do)
[21:56] <comicinker> what's the name of the tool that suggests you a package to install (if you misstyped a program) in a terminal?
[21:57] <Bob_Dole> linux is on ext3
[21:57] <Bob_Dole> usually
[21:57] <DasEi> comicinker: apt ?
[21:57] <Paradoxx> comicinker, aptitude?
[21:57] <comicinker> DasEi: no
[21:57] <Gerinych> guest770: i dont think you can do anything in this situation, the unpartitioned space must be right next to the partition youre trying to expand
[21:57] <Deathspike> Yeah, EXT. But does it affect performance?
[21:57] <DasEi> comicinker: dpkg  ?
[21:57] <Guest770> Gerinych,  the original top ext 3 looks like it has the same hardrive space that i took form it already
[21:58] <Deathspike> I've had some real bad experiences with GRUB/EXT3 and rather avoid it for my other box.
[21:58] <Ethos> anyone use ubuntu server in vmware here? If so, any idea how I can set a static IP
[21:58] <xavier> guntbert: great thanks alot worked great
[21:58] <guntbert> xavier: fine :)
[21:58] <m1ke_l> howdy ya'll....can someone point me to a jaunty bug report?
[21:58] <m1ke_l> Ethos:  just about every day
[21:58] <m1ke_l> edit /etc/network/interfaces
[21:59] <DasEi> Ethos:you can use networkmanager in your vm or edit /etc/network/interfaces and restart network
[21:59] <Guest770> Gerinych,  so what do you suggest
[21:59] <Bob_Dole> I think Wubi keeps a ext3 FS emulated on a NTFS partition, but as WUBI has yet to work for me on the 2 windows systems I've handled, I don't know for sure
[21:59] <Guest770> Gerinych,  the space is there and it's not being used
[21:59] <comicinker> just type something (a not valid command) in the terminal, then it will take a few seconds and then suggests a package name to instll (if possible). what's the name of this mechanism that searches for a program in apt automatically?
[21:59]  * Bob_Dole uses Linux and Mac OS X almost exclusively.
[22:00] <guntbert> Deathspike: don't use NTFS for linux
[22:00] <Gerinych> guest770: the unallocated space has to be next to /dev/sda5, i just don't know how to move it to that position
[22:00] <Guest770> Bob_Dole, that is right but there are 2 ext 3 one for windows and the other for linux
[22:00] <prince_jammys> comicinker: it's actually done by a python prog called 'command_not_found' or similar
[22:00] <DasEi> comicinker: command not found is one thing, to search : apt-cache search "pak*"
[22:00] <Ethos> i've changed the interfaces to static but it doesn't work
[22:00] <Ethos> using "nat" with vmware
[22:00] <Ethos> :)
[22:00] <wassy121_> Schuenemann: Glad you figured it out.  Enjoy free software :)
[22:01] <Deathspike> Aight, thanks both of you.
[22:01] <comicinker> thanks
[22:01] <Guest770> Gerinych, can i move it back to my windows part and restart all over
[22:01] <Gerinych> guest770: you can, but it's not going to fix anything
[22:01] <Deathspike> Oh, the question of the day (i'd really appreciate a answer): Can you backup your Ubuntu in a VM and place them on a physical partition/box without screwing anything up (thus run with those configurations)?
[22:01] <Schuenemann> wassy121_, could be easier this one :-)
[22:01] <Guest770> Gerinych, i want to use that space for my linux harddrive since i started to small
[22:02] <Schuenemann> biouser, you were right. Audacious is playing it
[22:02] <meoblast001> ubuntu content servers suck... i get 0Kb/s
[22:02] <Ethos> I've just install vmware playe
[22:02] <Schuenemann> does audacious support old winamp skins like xmms does?
[22:02] <meoblast001> i can't even run 64-bit ubuntu because i cant download the alternative install
[22:02] <Deathspike> Yes Schuenemann :)
[22:02] <Guest770> Gerinych,  so what do you suggest
[22:02] <user___> Deathspike: if you have exact partition locations and a third place to store the day in between yes (man dd)
[22:02] <Ethos> if I leave it to dhcp it gives me a 192.168.96.x address, I want it to be 192.168.0.x address :D
[22:02] <Dante123> meoblast001 did you get your computer working fixed
[22:03] <meoblast001> Dante123: no... i need the altlernate install land the Ubuntu servers keep dieing on me
[22:03] <Guest770> Gerinych,  i'm running out of room quickly and gparted is supposed to add additional space form other drives
[22:03] <Gerinych> guest770: i dont think you can do anything about it
[22:03] <Deathspike> user___: What do you mean by the exact partition locations?
[22:03] <Dante123> meoblast001 why do you need alternate install?
[22:03] <meoblast001> 2 hours remaining now.... but if i give it 15 minutes, it will drop to 0Kb/S and will require a restart
[22:03] <biouser> Schuenemann yeah, I don't know what totem is all about, I need to uninstall it... if I double click on something and totem pops up...!  DOH!  x-out and right-click on it to choose an application that might work
[22:03] <DrRaj> Is there a sane way of sym linking /usr/lib32 to /usr/lib on a x86_64 system?
[22:03] <meoblast001> Dante123: the LiveCD doesnt work.... the Alternate does
[22:04] <Ro0ster> Help me, I can't view this site with ubuntu: http://gamingguru.org/index.php
[22:04] <joljam> my ubuntu is freezing whenever I am seeing youtube
[22:04] <guntbert> Guest770: I didn't follow: are there data on any of your partitions, you want to keep?
[22:04] <Ro0ster> It freezed
[22:04] <user___> Deathspike: exactly matching partition locations, sorry
[22:04] <joljam> or for that matter any streaming movie
[22:04] <joljam> can anyone help me
[22:04] <Ro0ster> My computer froze
[22:04] <Guest770> guntbert, yes windows ut it had 66 gigs of free space left
[22:04] <biouser> guntbert no problem, the query that you gave was actually one of the permutations that I hadn't tried and has given me some reading material to work with :)
[22:05] <guntbert> biouser: fine :)
[22:05] <Ro0ster> HELP ME I CANT VIEW THIS SITE!!! http://gamingguru.org/index.php
[22:05] <Ro0ster> Please help me
[22:05] <Deathspike> user___: I am quite confused on that one. Do you mean the number of the partition or something?
[22:05] <meoblast001> lol i cant even check it for defects
[22:05] <meoblast001> because it has to boot the OS to check
[22:05] <guntbert> Guest770: so you deleted your windows partition?
[22:05] <Ethos> Sorry, anyone have any ideas regarding a static IP in VMWARE?
[22:05] <meoblast001> this DVD drive sounds like the thing they use at the dentist
[22:05] <Ethos> editing interfaces doesn't work
[22:05] <DrRaj> Ro0ster: looks just fine to me.
[22:06] <jamiejackson> i'm getting crackling instead of audio. product: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller;  vendor: Intel Corporation <-- i don't know how to troubleshoot. suggestions?
[22:06] <KEBA1> hello
[22:06] <Ro0ster> Everytime I try to view it
[22:06] <Ro0ster> It freezes
[22:06] <guntbert> !shout | Ro0ster
[22:06] <Guest770> guntbert, no it's there i just use gparted to free up that remaining harddrive space and move it over to my linux side
[22:06] <nashmack> hello everyone
[22:06] <Ro0ster> Help me, I can't view this site with ubuntu: http://gamingguru.org/index.php
[22:06] <user___> Deathspike: the partition layout, its a bit hackerish, so other ways may be better
[22:06] <RocketLauncher> I'm trying to run avant window navigator and i get this: Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager.
[22:06] <KEBA1> can i put perl, python etc. scripts in the nautilus script folder? or can i only use bash?
[22:06] <nashmack> does anyone know how to install themes on Xubuntu?
[22:07] <zash_> nashmack: what kind of themes
[22:07] <MistahMyke> Hey guys can anyone help me? .. for some reason when i boot up now i get the message kinit couldnt find resume image starting normally.. which takes me to terminal and i have to type startx to get into gnome ... any ideas on how I can fix this
[22:07] <Guest770> guntbert, ut according to genrich the partition has to be next to the ext to move and resize it
[22:07] <Deathspike> user___: Can you suggest any other way that would be better? The idea is keep a clean image and edit it easily, deploy whenever I screw over my installation. If i'm bothering you with these questions, just tell me :P and thanks for responding ;)
[22:07] <guntbert> Guest770: careful - in the screenshot you posted there is no windows partition at all
[22:07] <nashmack> I've downloaded the tarballs from xfce-look.org, i just need to know how to install the splash themes and the user interface themes
[22:08] <Ro0ster> Help me, I can't view this site: http://gamingguru.org/index.php
[22:08] <meoblast001> just got an error
[22:08] <meoblast001> Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[22:08] <Guest770> guntbert, it's the top one it's called /dev/sda1 ext3 with a darker blue
[22:08] <meoblast001> anyone know that that means?
[22:08] <user___> Deathspike: you could build a list of installed packages via "dpkg -l". if you dont care about exact icon locations and stuff you would only have to copy a few files from your $home
[22:09] <guntbert> Guest770: a windows on ext3???
[22:09] <nickrud> meoblast001, an error with your floppy drive
[22:09] <nite_johnboy> Do you need to have all Ubuntu computers have the same Computer name - Example in Windows it's best for all computers to in same " Workgroup " - New to linux but trying ?
[22:09] <meoblast001> nickrud: i have no floppy drive
[22:09] <Gerinych> guest770: windows uses fat, fat32, or ntfs only
[22:09] <nickrud> meoblast001, wondered :) I've seen that error on older ubuntus ....
[22:10] <Guest770> guntbert,  that's what it is
[22:10] <guntbert> nite_johnboy: short answer: no
[22:10] <meoblast001> this is 8.04 64-bit
[22:10] <meoblast001> i can get the 32-bit alternate to work
[22:10] <meoblast001> downloading 64-bit alternate, but Ubuntu servers suck
[22:10] <Deathspike> user___: What about modifications inside applications? For instance plugins in Eclipse, i'd have to manually copy those over as well correct?
[22:10] <meoblast001> and the download goes stale, 0 bytes per second
[22:10] <Guest770> guntbert, i used gparted and those are the files it gives me besides that is the exact amount of harddrive space that my windows side used
[22:10] <user___> Deathspike: uh, no eclipse experience, sorry
[22:10] <MethinX> I have geforce FX 5500, running on a Ubuntu 8.10, I have installed the Nvidia X settings, I run in terminal     sudo nvidia-settings   When I change my resolution in the drop down box, then save to X configureation File, xorg.conf it does not save my resolution when I reboot.  is there something Im missing? I need my resolution to save upon reboot. do i need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? and if I do what line do i need to ins
[22:10] <MethinX> ert and where do I need to insert it?
[22:10] <Schuenemann> Deathspike, does it work with an wsz file?
[22:11] <nickrud> meoblast001, try disabling in bois
[22:11] <nickrud> *bios
[22:11] <Deathspike> I have no idea, i'm just using the IDE to download plugins and stuff - i'm assuming it stores them in its own folder.
[22:11] <nite_johnboy> guntbert; Could you point me to something on networking with ubuntu that would be of help?
[22:11] <Deathspike> This goes for any application which handles plugins, NetBeans, Eclipse, etc.
[22:11] <Guest770> guntbert,  i left 6 gigs for additional space and used 66 gigs for the transfer
[22:11] <meoblast001> nickrud: where? i disabled floppy boot... couldnt find anything else
[22:11] <meoblast001> someone said it's my cd
[22:11] <meoblast001> should i reburn?
[22:12] <nickrud> meoblast001, meoblast001 wouldn't hurt to run the disk check
[22:12] <meoblast001> nickrud: tried, wont work
[22:12] <nite_johnboy> gunbert; Checked the Ubuntu Factoids - but not sure what is best.
[22:12] <meoblast001> nickrud: it attempts to boot the OS and gets the same error
[22:12] <Guest770> guntbert,  if you look carefully you will see that the first ext 3 still sys it has 72.91 gigs of free space unused which is not true
[22:12] <nickrud> meoblast001, hm.
[22:12] <meoblast001> nickrud: i have no other 64-bit PC's
[22:12] <nickrud> meoblast001, try the boot option  floppy=off
[22:12] <RocketLauncher> I'm trying to run avant window navigator and i get this: Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager.
[22:13] <Deathspike> Thanks for the assistance user___ and others ofc, i'll be going now. ^^'
[22:13] <MethinX> I have geforce FX 5500, running on a Ubuntu 8.10, I have installed the Nvidia X settings, I run in terminal     sudo nvidia-settings   When I change my resolution in the drop down box, then save to X configureation File, xorg.conf it does not save my resolution when I reboot.  is there something Im missing?

[22:13] <meoblast001> nickrud: how
[22:13] <MistahMyke> Hey guys can anyone help me? .. for some reason when i boot up now i get the message kinit couldnt find resume image starting normally.. which takes me to terminal and i have to type startx to get into gnome ... any ideas on how I can fix this
[22:13] <Guest770> guntbert, it adds up the same because i used 66 and left 6 which is 72 gigs
[22:13] <guntbert> Guest770: I'm still dubious, but anyway: you should be able to resize the ext. part. , and *then* sda5, if thats what you want, but ...
[22:13] <nickrud> meoblast001, iirc (I'm not rebooting to check :) you can hit alt-f4 or alt-f6 to edit boot options
[22:13] <meoblast001> k
[22:14] <darkblue_B> checking in GParted shows data on the new device though, so the mount point seems to be working fine
[22:14] <nickrud> MistahMyke, that's an indication you tried to hibernate and it failed, most likely (anyway, that was my problem)
[22:14] <darkblue_B> Q. After upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy, I had minor errors that are now resolved.. but when I restart, I am getting a "Recovery Menu" screen, hitting enter aloows boot normally. How do I get rd of this safety screen now and let it boot ??! this is a headless machine normally
[22:14] <Guest770> guntbert,  i tried to do this in livecd and it only gave me the option with the unallocated space to make it a new file
[22:14] <xavier> I typed into terminal the following command: apt-get install sun-java6-bin
[22:14] <xavier> After putting this command into terminal it began to process but then went to a eula and I couldn't figure out how to accept to I closed terminal. After rebooting and reentering the command I get the following: http://pastebin.com/d29f38153 How to I resolve this?
[22:14] <meoblast001> nickrud: --floppy=off?
[22:14] <guntbert> nite_johnboy: not quite, but have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/index.html ?
[22:15] <nickrud> meoblast001, no, just floppy=off
[22:15] <meoblast001> nickrud: crap
[22:15] <meoblast001> hardreset
[22:15] <nickrud> meoblast001, can't remember if it goes before or after the  --
[22:15] <Guest770> darkblue_B, was that for me

[22:16] <m1> hello i use ubuntu i whant  to open .exe in linux ... what shod i get for that?
[22:16] <Guest770> guntbert,  what is the but???
[22:16] <user___> xavier: you didnt run apt-get -f install yet (you had a little typo)
[22:16] <guntbert> Guest770: I'm afraid, there is something wrong with your partition table, but right now I'm too tired to look it thoroughly over, maybe somebody else will have a look at it
[22:17] <antiver> this is the official ubuntu channel, right?
[22:17] <lstarnes> antiver: it says that in the topic, doesn't it?
[22:17] <Guest770> guntbert, alright thanks is there anyone else tat can help me
[22:17] <xavier> user__: Thanks
[22:17] <redvamp128> xavier:  for me I just clicked into the window then used the page down til it hit bottom then hit tab til the accept was highlighted then hit enter
[22:17] <antiver> istarnes well, official support channel, but i was wondering if maybe there was another official channel not focused on support at all?
[22:18] <Alice22> Hello i need some help
[22:18] <xavier> tab ftw thanks again'
[22:18] <RegressLess> Is anyone here good with bots?
[22:18] <meoblast001> nickrud: same error
[22:18] <nickrud> meoblast001, reading some google resuts
[22:19] <guntbert> Guest770: you will have to ask the channel again (no nick in the beginning), it might help if you restated your problem on *one* line - good luck
[22:19] <meoblast001> nickrud: me too
[22:19] <meoblast001> i heard fd0 is filedescriptor0
[22:19] <meoblast001> thats what someone in here told me
[22:19] <redvamp128> !ask | Alice22
[22:19] <Dante123> meoblast001 did you do an md5sum check on the iso you downloaded and burned???  (dont know if this was asked already)
[22:19] <RegressLess> Is there live help for bots on Ubuntu 8.10 and IRC?
[22:20] <Alice22> redvamp128 i need to open a exe... in linux how can i do that whit ubuntu
[22:20] <meoblast001> Dante123: no i don't know how
[22:20] <redvamp128> Alice22:  wine
[22:20] <meoblast001> Dante123: i still have the ISO
[22:20] <Gerinych> alice22: download wine
[22:20] <meoblast001> what's an md5sum
[22:20] <Dante123> are you on windowe right now or linux
[22:20] <w33d5> !google
[22:20] <meoblast001> is that what they call serial numbers on free software?
[22:21] <w33d5> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum
[22:21] <RegressLess> alice22: Applications/Add/Remove and search there for wine
[22:21] <redvamp128> Alice22:  unless it is a self extracting .exe file -- to which you can add .rar function to archiver (though most likely what is inside is windows based)
[22:21] <nickrud> meoblast001, try  all_generic_ide  as a boot option
[22:21] <guntbert> !md5sum | meoblast001
[22:21] <w33d5> md5sum is a computer program that calculates and verifies 128-bit MD5 hashes, as described in RFC 1321. The MD5 hash (or checksum) functions as a compact digital fingerprint of a file.
[22:21] <Alice22> redvamp128:   but is not in my aplication that i can install .. is there another way to get it ?  a command like sudo
[22:21] <meoblast001> nickrud: i read online it is a bug..... it's not detecting the combo driver properly
[22:21] <meoblast001> nickrud: i either need to use a CD drive or use the alternate install i guess
[22:21] <Ethos> yo guys, ive got the network running in ubuntu and vmware, only issue I have ... I can't ping anything over the vpn (connect in windows)
[22:21] <Ethos> any ideas?
[22:21] <nickrud> meoblast001, I've seen several causes :) but checking the md5sum first is a darned good idea
[22:21] <redvamp128> Alice22:  wine is the way to run a .exe file
[22:22] <Alice22> redvamp128:  ok and how can i get it ?
[22:22] <MethinX> I have geforce FX 5500, running on a Ubuntu 8.10, I have installed the Nvidia X settings, I run in terminal     sudo nvidia-settings   When I change my resolution in the drop down box, then save to X configureation File, xorg.conf it does not save my resolution when I reboot.  is there something Im missing? I need my resolution to save upon reboot. do i need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? and if I do what line do i need to ins
[22:22] <MethinX> ert and where do I need to insert it?
[22:22] <meoblast001> what's an md5sum anyways
[22:22] <antiver> what's the best free virtual machine to run ubuntu inside windows?
[22:22] <redvamp128> Alice22:  getting the page from winehq now on how to install in ubuntu
[22:22] <meoblast001> sounds to me like a serial number
[22:22] <Dante1231> meoblast001 you on windows or linux
[22:22] <RegressLess> Everyone, I have a big idea for a bot project, but I need some serious help to get it done. Not for profit, but for progress.
[22:22] <redvamp128> Alice22:  WineHQ - Wine for Debian based distributions <http://www.winehq.org/download/deb>
[22:23] <Alice22> redvamp128:  ok  thanks... hope it helps
[22:23] <nickrud> meoblast001, it's a checksum of the download; you can find what the md5sum should be in a file at releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 , and you simply run md5sum ubuntu*iso
[22:23] <guntbert> !best | antiver
[22:23] <phretor> hello!
[22:23] <meoblast001> nickrud: where di the ISO go?
[22:23] <superfirelord42> theres a best bot?
[22:23] <phretor> I was wandering whether something better or more up-to-date exists beside this http://rudd-o.com/new-projects/portablelinux
[22:23] <phretor> sorry
[22:23] <frca> does anyone know why my ubuntu treats all text files on ntfs-3g and vfat partitions as executable?

[22:24] <wolter> allquixotic, hey! guess what? there is a new update of xorg-video, gnona see how it works with me
[22:24] <redvamp128> Alice22:  one recomendation -- is also open up synaptic packagemanger and install dkms
[22:24] <guntbert> RegressLess: thats off-topic here :)
[22:24] <Guest770> need help with this whos out there
[22:24] <Rimedio> Will a Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 run on Ubuntu 8.10?
[22:24] <nickrud> meoblast001, heck, it's your machine, you should know where you downloaded it. If you're burning from windows, google md5sum.exe and download it to the same directory as the iso, then open a command prompt and run md5sum ubuntu*iso
[22:24] <phretor> I meant this http://www.theyagar.com/2006/12/how-to-create-a-custom-ubuntu-distro/
[22:24] <nickrud> meoblast001, after cd'ing to the correct directory of course
[22:24] <RegressLess> guntbert: can you point me in the right direction?
[22:25] <superfirelord42> frca, i have to assume because ntfs does not have a execute marker on files... (not sure though)
[22:25] <antiver> ubottu: thanks
[22:25] <meoblast001> nickrud: i dont use windows =P windows is for luuzerz
[22:26] <MethinX> does anyone know how to save your resolution settings in Ubuntu ?
[22:26] <Alice22> redvamp128:  what is dkms ...
[22:26] <nickrud> frca, if you're mounting them in /etc/fstab that would be where you fixe it
[22:26] <fholmstrom> Does ubuntu have something aching to debians "unstable" or "testing" apt source ?
[22:26] <guntbert> RegressLess: no, but #ubuntu-offtopic would be a place to start (I suppose)

[22:26] <user___> fholmstrom: !jaunty
[22:26] <user___> !jaunty | fholmstrom
[22:26] <redvamp128> Alice22:  it just makes updating wine more easy
[22:26] <fholmstrom> user___: ok, yeah I know that... but what's the apt source name? ;p
[22:26] <savid> Ugh!  My sound has been working fine,  and now out of the blue any sound that plays just sounds like crackling..  What's causing this?
[22:26] <fholmstrom> Jaunty doesnt work
[22:27] <CetiEel> savid ; tried just rebooting?
[22:27] <savid> CetiEel, yes, many times
[22:27] <Decepticon> how do i create a rss feed with a bunch of pictures, each picture is a update
[22:27] <RegressLess> guntbert: Thanks, I'll try that, but I'd say that means it's not off topic, especially since I'm talking about IRC bots on Ubuntu. ;-)
[22:27] <meoblast001> nickrud: i think i just have to wait on this other download
[22:27] <CetiEel> weird
[22:27] <jamiejackson> my 82801G intel sound card is using pulseaudio. is that appropriate?
[22:27] <meoblast001> nickrud: or use... gulp... 32 bit
[22:27] <CetiEel> you didn't install anything prior to the error occuring?
[22:27] <savid> And I really don't want to have to re-install ubuntu (that's the whole reason I use linux)
[22:27] <nickrud> meoblast001, I always use the alternate anyway. I have dsl as my emergency repair live cd

[22:28] <meoblast001> nickrud: i hope the nvidia drivers are on the cd
[22:28] <RegressLess> guntbert: and not for programs, etc. on Ubuntu?
[22:29] <nickrud> meoblast001, that's something I can check for you ...
[22:29] <redvamp128> Alice22:  if the pictures are confusing at the bottom of this page it tells how to do it command line WineHQ - Wine for Debian based distributions <http://www.winehq.org/download/deb>
[22:29] <meoblast001> nickrud: how
[22:29] <guntbert> RegressLess: as far as I know not
[22:29] <RocketLauncher> How do I get to the compiz options? i have compiz fusion icon but that does nothing. i want to be able to change settings for the cube and everything (in fact, i need to enable it)

[22:29] <Cpudan80> whats the key combo to switch desktops?
[22:29] <Guest2451> guntbert,  what do you think is wrong with my partition tale??
[22:29] <RocketLauncher> Cpudan80: ctrl+alt and arrow keys
[22:29] <Cpudan80> thanks
[22:30] <nickrud> meoblast001, look at the disk
[22:30] <RegressLess> guntbert: I mistook this for the Ubuntu community, I suppose.
[22:30] <meoblast001> nickrud: i dont have it downloaded yet=P
[22:31] <redvamp128> Alice22:  then once you get wine installed-- you can click on the exe file and it should run-- ignore if a window pops up with some errors in it (that is just wine setting itself up) then it should run--
[22:31] <Guest2451> guntbert, is there a gparted chanel that could help out??

[22:36] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  Can someone recommend software for a n00b circuit designer?  I want to create a circuit, then have the software describe and/or simulate what it does.

[22:36] <blahblah_x> hey guys. i am running ubuntu on an xo, which has a pretty small screen. is there a way to make everything on the screen bigger for ease of use (not just the fonts)?
[22:36] <cwillu> it is when there's 6 http://'s in the mess you pasted :p
[22:36] <Cav3M4n> ActionParsnip1: ok,I need to download it. Is this the only step the 'fsck'
[22:37] <Dante1231> ActionParsnip1 http://www.fixya.com/support/p277618-d_link_airplus_dwl_900ap_802_11b/manual-14285/page-22
[22:37] <ro> cwillu, trying to move the unallocated part to my linux ext 3
[22:37] <cwillu> ro, sda1 or sda5?
[22:37] <ActionParsnip1> Cav3M4n: its part of a standard install, boot to recovery console, umount the partitions and check em
[22:37] <ro> cwillu, sda1 is my windows side and sda5 is linux
[22:38] <blahblah_x> jonaskoelker: i found these two through google: http://www.geda.seul.org/tools/gnucap/index.html and http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/
[22:38] <kon> could the ubuntu iso get damaged by pausing then resuming the download?
[22:38] <Dante1231> ActionParsnip1 and http://www.fixya.com/support/p277618-d_link_airplus_dwl_900ap_802_11b/manual-14285/page-20
[22:38] <cwillu> ro, you have windows running on ext3?  Is that even possible?
[22:38] <ActionParsnip1> Dante1231: thats windows dude
[22:38] <ro> cwillu, that is what gparted gave me
[22:38] <kon> I was downloading it and had to use the bandwidth for another file so i paused it, and when it restarted, it went fine.
[22:38] <jonaskoelker> blahblah_x: it's not a search problem, but a pruning problem :)
[22:38] <ro>  cwillu and i dual boot
[22:38] <jonaskoelker> blahblah_x: do you have experience with any of those you found?
[22:38] <Cav3M4n> Actionspartsnip1: tks, I'll be back
[22:38] <cwillu> ro, anyways, to resize sda5, you'll have to resize sda2 first into that space, and then resize sda5
[22:38] <blahblah_x> jonaskoelker: no sorry.
[22:38] <kon> Could this damage the iso ?
[22:38] <ActionParsnip1> Dante1231: add the settings to /etc/network/interfaces file
[22:38] <jonaskoelker> blahblah_x: ok; thanks for trying to help :)
[22:39] <Gerinych> jonaskoelker: whats pruning?
[22:39] <cwillu> ro, more than one physical drive?
[22:39] <Ethos> got it working but it won't connect/ping to anything via vpn
[22:39] <ActionParsnip1> kon: should be fine
[22:39] <blahblah_x> hey guys. i am running ubuntu on an xo, which has a pretty small screen. is there a way to make everything on the screen bigger for ease of use (not just the fonts)?
[22:39] <jonaskoelker> Gerinych: removing useless stuff from a large set of stuff
[22:39] <ro> cwillu, just one
[22:39] <kon> ActionParsnip1: ok
[22:39] <Gerinych> jonaskoelker: oh
[22:39] <kon> I might just go with kubuntu, that installer never gives me any problems
[22:39] <ro> cwillu, how is that done
[22:39] <cwillu> ro, never heard of windows being able to boot off an ext2/3 drive, just make me wonder
[22:40] <ActionParsnip1> blahblah_x: use a higher res, and use smaller skins for stuff (see liquifox for firefox as an example)
[22:40] <jonaskoelker> Gerinych: most commonly used about game trees; say a chess-playing program.  It makes sense to not analyze variants where you sacrifice your queen and two rooks for no obvious gain
[22:40] <NorthByNorthWest> Hi all! I managed to install my webcam with Easycam, and Cheese is working and recording as expected. But Skype shows static. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[22:40] <redvamp128> !md5 | kon:
[22:40] <exodus_ms> Is it possible to change the background color Evolution mail uses to display _recieved_ mail, I know the option is available for Composing an email
[22:40] <ro> cwillu, i don't know that is what is showing in gparted
[22:40] <kon> i installed it 5 times w/ 3 different iso files and 3 different hdd's
[22:40] <blahblah_x> blahblah_x: wait a higher res makes things smaller. i don't want more real estate, i want things to be bigger
[22:40] <Gerinych> jonaskoelker: i see...
[22:40] <kon> all of the installs hang on the log in screen
[22:40] <redvamp128> !md5 | kon:
[22:40] <ActionParsnip1> kon: did you md5 the images as well as verify the burned cd?
[22:40] <kon> any idea what it might be?
[22:40] <kab> anyone here that can help me with Jaunty and this error (EE) NVIDIA: Use the -ignoreABI option to override this check. ?
[22:40] <cwillu> ro, you'll either need to do this from a live cd, or from a terminal (i.e., not through gparted)
[22:40] <ActionParsnip1> kon: did you burn as slow as you could?
[22:41] <kon> yeah, i did the "
[22:41] <kon> "check cd for errors"
[22:41] <joljam> anyone help me
[22:41] <Bob_Dole> So, no one knows why I have to restart my computer to get ubuntu to recognize my MP3 players as mass storage devices, when both mac OS X and windows recognize them?(I asked about an hour ago)
[22:41] <kon> all was fine
[22:41] <ActionParsnip1> kon: check iso as well
[22:41] <rww> kab: Support for Jaunty is in #ubuntu+1
[22:41] <cwillu> ro, with the /dev/sda5 unmounted, you should be able to right click sda2, resize it, and then resize sda5 into that space
[22:41] <kon> will do
[22:41] <ActionParsnip1> !ask | joljam
[22:41] <draginxx> Is there a program that will allow me to edit files rmeotely but as if I were editing locally? (like form my gedit app to a rmeote machine without sftpd or something)
[22:41] <kon> ty 4 info :)
[22:41] <kab> rww, thanks
[22:41] <hajar> hi.. Is there any presentation software better than open office??
[22:41] <joljam> my intrepid is freezing on me when I see any streaming movies
[22:41] <ro> cwillu, so i have to unmount is livecd
[22:41] <ActionParsnip1> kon: make sure you burn as slow as you can
[22:41] <blahblah_x> draginxx: you can use ssh -X
[22:41] <draginxx> blahblah_x, what does that parameter do?
[22:42] <ActionParsnip1> joljam: are you fully updated. did you install codecs
[22:42] <rww> draginxx: If you can use Places > Connect to Server, than gedit can edit over connections you make there
[22:42] <kon> Oh, that might be the issue
[22:42] <kon> i burned them @ 42x :)
[22:42] <blahblah_x> draginxx: lets you run X applications
[22:42] <cwillu> ro, if you're booted into a normal install, right now, sda5 is in use.  You can't resize most filesystems while they're in use
[22:42] <draginxx> rww, right but for some reason theres no password field?
[22:42] <TrentH> Hello, I need a program to open .ACH files. I need them for some type of document my college ask's me to download.
[22:42] <ActionParsnip1> kon: thats probably why, burn as slow as you possibly can
[22:42] <draginxx> or would i enter in user:password@domain.com ?
[22:42] <joljam> ActionParsnip .. yes .. to the best of my knowledge.. i am relatively a newbie
[22:42] <kebo> what is backtrack room ?
[22:42] <rww> draginxx: which protocol? FTP?
[22:42] <joljam> how can I check it
[22:42] <kon> Thanks for the help ActionParsnip1 :)
[22:42] <cwillu> ro, it's possible to mount it read only, and then do it, but it's not trivial
[22:42] <ro> cwillu,  that's correct
[22:42] <draginxx> rww, if theres a better one i can use id prefer it, but if i have to use ftp in this situation then fine
[22:42] <joljam> Actionparsnip
[22:43] <ro> cwillu,  so what's the best course of action
[22:43] <Cpudan80> draginxx: ssh -X is the way to go
[22:43] <TrentH> --------Hello, I need a program to open .ACH files. I need them for some type of document my college ask's me to download.------
[22:43] <hajar> hi.. Is there any presentation software better than open office??
[22:43] <igh> TrentH: what document?
[22:43] <cwillu> ro, boot from a livecd (the ubuntu livecd has gparted on it), and do it from there
[22:43] <Cpudan80> draginxx: it forwards X over to your box, so you can remote applications like gedit
[22:43] <cwillu> ro, it's pretty straightforward at that point
[22:43] <ActionParsnip1> joljam: http://filext.com/file-extension/ACH
[22:43] <TrentH> SUB_ACH_MCR.ACH (10.943 Kb)
[22:43] <Cpudan80> draginxx: to load gedit on the command line you would type gedit &
[22:43] <rww> draginxx: Connect to Server supports a bunch of different ones. See the "Service type:" field. I asked if you were using FTP because you'll need Service type: FTP (with login), rather than the default.
[22:43] <^ulysses^> dear friends is there a channel about internet connection sharing?
[22:44] <Bob_Dole> quit repeating questions over a short period of time
[22:44] <rww> !ics | ^ulysses^
[22:44] <NorthByNorthWest> Sorry... lost connection... reasking question: EasyCam installed drivers for my webcam, and Cheese can correctly show an image, but skype shows static. How do I fix this?
[22:44] <ActionParsnip1> joljam: file extensions dont mean much in linux, id ask them what app made the file
[22:44] <ro> cwillu, unmount my ext 3 linux part then comine into sda2
[22:44] <rdw200169> ^ulysses^, the easiest way to setup that is using firestarter
[22:44] <draginxx> Cpudan80, im assuming id need gedit installed on the other machine? (remote machine)
[22:44] <ro> cwillu, that should read combine
[22:44] <draginxx> if so that cant be done as i do have admin access
[22:44] <igh> TrentH: hmm, not helpful.  What course is asking you to do this?
[22:44] <joljam> ActionParsnip1: I updated it two weeks back..
[22:44] <hajar> hi.. Is there any presentation software better than open office??
[22:44] <joljam> I do not think thats the problem
[22:44] <Cpudan80> draginxx: yes you would need gedit on the remote machine
[22:44] <Bob_Dole> I get better linux support in ##windows >.>
[22:44] <^ulysses^> does firestarter works with pppoe
[22:45] <draginxx> Cpudan80, meh thanks mate but it wont help :(
[22:45] <Bob_Dole> Of course, my problems are always the simplest things
[22:45] <TrentH> igh: Progamable Logic Controls
[22:45] <draginxx> rww, let's say I have a network under my places tab, is there a way to remove that?
[22:45] <Cpudan80> draginxx: are you just needing the data off the other machine?
[22:45] <TrentH> or, Programmable Controller Systems
[22:45] <ActionParsnip1> joljam: what spec is your pc?
[22:45] <Gerinych> bob_dole: yeah, and mine's a BSOD, they still can't solve it :)
[22:45] <joljam> Dell Inspiron 700 m
[22:45] <kon> Thanks to everyone for the help :)
[22:45] <joljam> 1.2 gb ram
[22:45] <draginxx> Cpudan80, I am trying to read/write to the other machine
[22:45] <kon> Adios
[22:45] <phorensic1> hajar: I think I have seen some web based presentation software that was supposedly really good
[22:46] <joljam> 60 gb hdd
[22:46] <Cpudan80> draginxx: can you ftp to it?
[22:46] <Bob_Dole> that don't usually matter much. But I want my very high uptimes, having to restart to get a USB thumbdrive(mp3 player, actually) to mount is counter productive
[22:46] <user___> hajar: where does it lack for your use case?
[22:46] <draginxx> Cpudan80, yessir
[22:46] <ActionParsnip1> joljam: have you installed video drivers?
[22:46] <joljam> 1.2 gb ram and 60 gb hdd
[22:46] <ro> cwillu, so unmount my sda5 and then resize my extended sda2
[22:46] <cwillu> ro, reboot into a livecd (so that sda5 isn't mounted),
[22:46] <igh> TrentH: Does ControlGuardian ring a bell?
[22:46] <cwillu> then resize sda2 (which sda5 is inside), and then resize sda5
[22:46] <rww> draginxx: You mean the entry named "Network", or an entry created when you use Connect to Server?
[22:46] <Cpudan80> draginxx: If you can SSH - use the connect to server thing under places
[22:46] <Cpudan80> draginxx: set it to SSH
[22:46] <TrentH> ControlGuardian, never heard of it?
[22:46] <phretor> what's currently the best/easiest and most recommended way to create a customized ISO from the original Ubuntu Hardy?
[22:46] <cwillu> ro, right
[22:47] <ro> cwillu,  ok then resize my extended part sda2
[22:47] <nickrud> Bob_Dole, how are you unmounting?  running   tail -f /var/log/messages   in a terminal, then doing your mp3 mount/unmount will probably give some useful info
[22:47] <joljam> ActionParsnip1: the specs of my laptop is Dell Inpiron 700 m , 1.2 gb ram, 60 gb hdd
[22:47] <ActionParsnip1> joljam: fine, have you installed video drivers?
[22:47] <ro> cwillu, so once i combine my unallocated aprt with sda2 then i can use my sda5 to tkae that free space
[22:48] <cwillu> ro, yes
[22:48] <joljam> yes... however..sometimes I have problems with vlc.. i get a blue screen
[22:48] <Bob_Dole> Normal thumbdrives work fine. MP3 players that take 5-15 seconds to get into USB mass Storage mode don't
[22:48] <TrentH> igh: Can you please give me some indepth detial about Control Guardian?
[22:48] <TrentH> detial*
[22:48] <igh> TrentH: Oh well. I did a quick google search.  That's all I found.  They didn't give any indication of what program would use this filetype?
[22:48] <TrentH> Oh, I spelled it right. LOL
[22:48] <cwillu> Bob_Dole, what kind of mp3 player?
[22:48] <dreamy> ActionParsnip1: hallow  :)
[22:48] <Dante1231> ActionParsnip1 to configure this unit (especially setting IP address) I connect it via usb to windows machine.  Then once it is setup properly- i have used ap-utils to further configure it or change settings.  BUT....since the second one is not wired like the first one.....I need to make all the changes via Windows...or at least I think I do and since it is already hooked up via USB for changing IP address...I might as well do it al
[22:48] <TrentH> I don't know  ethier.
[22:48] <dreamy> ActionParsnip1: "hello"
[22:48] <nickrud> proppi, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[22:49] <nickrud> phretor, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization sorry proppi
[22:49] <Bob_Dole> cheap 10 dollar MP3 player built into a thumbdrive, and a Zvue
[22:49] <TrentH> igh: Control Guardian is some software that could possibly open this file?
[22:49] <ActionParsnip1> dreamy: yo
[22:49] <joljam> ActionParsnip1: how can I update the vide drivers from the command line
[22:49] <ro> cwillu,  i'll give it a shot one guy on here said that an unuesed part has to be next to the one you want to comine is that true ecause if it is then this won't work
[22:49] <Bob_Dole> Zvue !=zune, btw
[22:49] <draginxx> Cpudan80, rww, thank you so much guys didnt know ubuntu would be smart enough for this on its own (well gnome but w/e) Thanks again mates :)
[22:49] <Neremor> hello!
[22:49] <Decepticon> which gallery software you recommend is easiest... i want to say ./script /path/i/want/thumbnailed and have it done
[22:49] <Neremor> i've a question about curl
[22:49] <Cpudan80> np
[22:49] <nickrud> Bob_Dole, without diagnostics, as shown in /var/log/syslog, we can't say much
[22:49] <cwillu> ro, if the partitions are out of order, you can just move them around first
[22:49] <igh> TrentH:  I don't know. Possibly. You should ask your instructor for more information.
[22:49] <nbeebo> how can i do so my audio out is my audio in? my soundcard itself does not support this..
[22:49] <ActionParsnip1> Dante1231: well if you configure the routers they will kick out dhcp of the correct network address
[22:50] <ActionParsnip1> joljam: run: lspci | grep -i vga
[22:50] <cwillu> ro, but from the screen shot, they don't look like they're out of order
[22:50] <TrentH> It isn't for me igh. It is for my dad, I took a old PC of mine and installed Linux on him. (he said he actually works faster).
[22:50] <^ulysses^> can firestarter share a pppoe connection
[22:50] <Dante1231> ActionParsnip1 so my question of for you is what do I put in for gatewa for the second dwl900ap?  Do I enable/disable DHCP client?  Is primary port set to ethernet of wireless?
[22:50] <ActionParsnip1> joljam: http://talishte.wordpress.com/2006/01/24/al-fin-ubuntu-the-breezy-badger-510-en-mi-pc/#more-79
[22:50] <ro> cwillu,  i know ut the unalloca aprt is nwxt to my windows side not the ext3 linux
[22:50] <Neremor> i know how to get sites with curl. but for the read-out of all birthdays on an internet platform, i have to loggin. the question is: how can i "loggin" into a site with curl?
[22:50] <exodus_ms> Is it possible to change the background color of the 'Preview Pane' for Recieved Mail in Evolution 2.24.2?
[22:51] <cwillu> ro, the unallocated part is between the windows and the linux, according to the image you sent me
[22:51] <ActionParsnip1> joljam: this site has an xorg.conf you can use, you will need to install the i810 video driver which your card uses but it wont be configured to use it
[22:51] <Dante1231> ActionParsnip1 and does it need to be on the same channel as the other upstairs dwl900ap
[22:51] <TrentH> igh: Can I send your a PM? I have further questions I could use help on.
[22:51] <cwillu> ro, on the other hand, I'm not convinced that the image you sent me is reflecting what's actually going on, but anyways :p
[22:51] <dulonga> hello
[22:51] <igh> TrentH: I thought you said your college was asking you to do this?
[22:51] <ActionParsnip1> Dante1231: you can use the dhcp in the second router but the WAN side of the second router will point to the first for dns / default gateway
[22:52] <joljam> ActionParsnip1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109150/
[22:52] <NBBTANK> I installed Ubuntu on a seperate drive (with Vista on another) and I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix Grub so that I can boot Windows?
[22:52] <Dante1231> And lastly, what operational mode should the second downstairs one be in...Access Point (I dont think so), Access Point Client, WB Point to point, or WB point to multipoint??
[22:52] <user___> Neremor: it depends on the login site. do you mind sharing it with the channel?
[22:52] <canari> qlq??
[22:52] <ro> cwillu, that's correct is is between the first ext3 and my extended part sda2 what is that used for??
[22:52] <igh> TrentH: What's your question?
[22:52] <phorensic1> !grub
[22:52] <superfirelord42> NBBTANK, is grub erroring out or is it just not listing windows?
[22:52] <joljam> ActionParsnip.what is xorg.conf
[22:52] <cwillu> ro, eh?
[22:52] <ActionParsnip1> joljam: yeah, that uses the i810 driver
[22:52] <ActionParsnip1> !i810 | joljam
[22:52] <TrentH> I need help with resoultion and video drivers.
[22:52] <ro> cwillu, sda2 extended what is that used for
[22:52] <NBBTANK> it does not list windows
[22:52] <Dante1231> ActionParsnip1 okay i understand for gateway
[22:52] <ActionParsnip1> TrentH: run: lspci | grep -i vga
[22:53] <rdw200169> ^ulysses^, yes, it's really easy to set up, it puts the internet side firewall on the interface you specify, which i suppose would be ppp0
[22:53] <TrentH> What!?
[22:53] <ActionParsnip1> joljam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/i810
[22:53] <Vubi> how can i install flash player 10 on 64 bit 8.10
[22:53] <TrentH> Do I put that in the gnome terminal.
[22:53] <ro> cwillu,  you have a sda2, sda5 and sda6
[22:53] <ActionParsnip1> TrentH: run that command in terminal, it will tell you the video card
[22:53] <Gerinych> NBBTANK: run "sudo update-grub" in terminal, see if it does that
[22:53] <rww> Vubi: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
[22:53] <rdw200169> ^ulysses^, then, you just specify the Local Interface, eth0 or something, and check the box 'Enable Internet Connection sharing'
[22:53] <superfirelord42> Gerinych, you think that will autodetect it?
[22:53] <_Vi_> TrentH: 99.9% of the commands people tell you to do in here goes in your terminal (ALT +F2 then type gnome-terminal) then run the command they tell you.
[22:53] <cwillu> ro, a drive can only have 4 normal partitions.  extended partitions are a way around that (they count as one of the normal partitions, but you can put as many partitions inside it as you want)
[22:53] <Vubi> rww: is that flash 10?
[22:54] <Gerinych> superfirelord42: could be
[22:54] <kerlo> Ello. I've added a wireless network setting to Ubuntu, consisting of an SSID, an encryption mode, and a network key. The network is not set to connect automatically. How do I connect to it?
[22:54] <Dante1231> ActionParsnip1 does it need to be on the same channel (say anywhere from 1-11) as the other upstairs dwl900ap??  What operational mode should it be in?
[22:54] <Fractured> what would be the way to share my wlan0 connection with eth0?
[22:54] <rww> !info flashplugin-nonfree | Vubi
[22:54] <NBBTANK> thanks
[22:54] <rww> Vubi: yup
[22:54] <rdw200169> ^ulysses^, i thought ahead, and specified a bridge for the local side (in /etc/network/interfaces), so i can share to everything
[22:54] <TrentH> Can somebody give me some information on that command?
[22:54] <igh> TrentH: Or, since your running Ubuntu I assume, gnome-terminal is quite nice.
[22:54] <ActionParsnip1> Dante1231: im unsure, id try different ones for each router
[22:54] <superfirelord42> NBBTANK, if that does not work, we can manually add the entry...
[22:54] <Tekumel> Hurray, finally got everything figured out and had a successful install :D
[22:54] <ActionParsnip1> TrentH: ok, lspci will show you ALL the hardware in your system
[22:54] <TrentH> I don't understand that command.
[22:54] <TrentH> is that a L or an |
[22:54] <rdw200169> ^ulysses^, b/c firestarter is *only* a firewall, it just also happens to setup port forwarding and sharing, b/c they're both easy, and part of the iptables firewall application
[22:54] <Tekumel> L
[22:54] <Tekumel> LSPCI
[22:54] <ActionParsnip1> TrentH: the | pipes the command into grep which is a filtering program
[22:54] <_Vi_> no caps
[22:54] <Bob_Dole> well, the freshly formatted zvue(how I figured out there were issues, because Iit corrupted the fat32 partition on the SD ard..) connected right off..now to figure out pastebind so I can show that info you asked for. the cheapo still isn't showing as mounted in the GUI, at the very least.
[22:55] <ro> cwillu,  ok let me try that first which is resize my sda2 then use the sda5
[22:55] <rdw200169> ^ulysses^, all the networking stuff takes place elsewhere, like NetworkManager
[22:55] <TrentH> Somebody PM me that command.
[22:55] <Dante1231> ActionParsnip1 right now they are on different channels.  So I will leave it as that.  What about operational modes:  AP, AP CLient, WB point to point, WB point to Multipoint???
[22:55] <TrentH> The screen goes to fast!
[22:55] <Schuenemann> is flash 10 ok for amd64?
[22:55] <ActionParsnip1> TrentH: grp -i vga will show all the lines (case insensitive) that have the letters vga on
[22:55] <igh> TrentH: If you use gnome-terminal, you can copy and paste from you irc screen into the terminal screen.
[22:55] <cwillu> ro, you _have_ to use a livecd though, unless you want to do this via a terminal
[22:55] <ActionParsnip1> TrentH: the line for your video card WILL have vga on it so we only want to show that line
[22:55] <_Vi_> TrentH: you dont wanna run COMMANDS AS CAPS in a terminal... <one tip for you :)
[22:55] <rdw200169> ^ulysses^, so you could specify anything you want for the 'internet' connection, i.e. it could be a G3 modem
[22:55] <ActionParsnip1> TrentH: lspci | grep -i vga
[22:55] <Dante1231> ActionParsnip1 for the second one only I need to know.  First is AP for sure...cause it is working with the nintendo ds's
[22:55] <ActionParsnip1> TrentH: thats the command
[22:56] <ro> cwillu,  i know that bro what do you suggest
[22:56] <Ketrel> If I want to make a cron job that would affect a file not owned by me (that I need to use sudo to change) how would I do that?
[22:56] <bdizzle> hi
[22:56] <rdw200169> ^ulysses^, as long as it was set up correctly (it can browse the internet) through the other networking tools
[22:56] <ActionParsnip1> Dante1231: then change the other
[22:56] <ActionParsnip1> Dante1231: you're gonna have to change something
[22:56] <bdizzle> I realize this is #ubuntu and not #kubuntu, but I'm hoping someone can at least point me in the right direction
[22:56] <TrentH>  VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS400 [Radeon Xpress 200]
[22:56] <ActionParsnip1> TrentH: wtg
[22:56] <cwillu> bdizzle, just ask, don't ask to ask
[22:56] <ActionParsnip1> !ati | TrentH
[22:56] <ActionParsnip1> TrentH: read that
[22:56] <bdizzle> does anyone know where I can get help using KDevelop?
[22:57] <loulou> I am unable to get any sound on my newly installed HP
[22:57] <cwillu> bdizzle, #kdevelop
[22:57] <bdizzle> I'm trying to work on homework for my programming class and it keeps giving me error 77 with no explainatino
[22:57] <bdizzle> thank you
[22:57] <TrentH> This is what happened, I went and.... When I first booted up Ubuntu it said I had some hardware drivers to install. I clicked activate and it did not work. The drivers didn't download or attempt to install.
[22:57] <mr_polite> how do i upgrade 8.04 to 8.10?
[22:57] <ro> cwillu, what do you suggest terminal or gparted or i have parted magic which is prob the same thing
[22:57] <Dante1231> ActionParsnip1 I'm left with three choices for operational mode, access point client, or wb point to point, wb point to multipoint.  I'm going wb point to point...cause I think that is what I want.  But if you think otherwise I respect your opinion cause you know more than I do about this.
[22:57] <rww> !upgrade | mr_polite
[22:58] <cwillu> bdizzle, and just ask in there too, don't just ask to ask, and get disappointed when noone answers "[
[22:58] <Bob_Dole> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109153/   the fact its a 517MB device makes me think it's the cheapo..the Zvue has a 256MB SD card
[22:58] <cwillu> :p
[22:58] <fabio123> hi ActionParsnip1
[22:58] <Gerinych> trenth: if it didn't download anything, your internet might not be working
[22:58] <cwillu> ro, boot off a live cd, and use gparted
[22:58] <fabio123> whye the hell Antialiasing is broken with Firefox 3.1 or 3.2 ?
[22:58] <cwillu> fabio123, downloaded from firefox.com?
[22:58] <_Vi_> !ohmy | fabio123
[22:58] <TrentH> Gerinych: It downloaded the updates and respertorys just fine.
[22:58] <ro> cwillu,  alright i'll e back to let you know how it went
[22:59] <TrentH> Now it is working :D
[22:59] <loulou> can anyone help me with a place to find info to get the correct drivers for my sound card?  I don't know the brand
[22:59] <jclbrt> anyone get moonlight working on ubuntu?
[22:59] <fabio123> from ubuntu and firefox: it's named minefield
[22:59] <TrentH> */cheer
[22:59] <Gerinych> h*** is a swear word?
[22:59] <cwillu> fabio123, the linux build from firefox.com doesn't have the same settings as ubuntu's
[22:59] <jclbrt> lolou if u dnt know the brand it is going to be difficult to find the driver
[22:59] <fabio123> with firefox 3.05 antialising is ok, but fonts are ugly with others version
[22:59] <cwillu> fabio123, I'd suggest using ubuntu-mozillateam's repository
[22:59] <cwillu> fabio123, give me a sec to get you the apt line
[23:00] <fabio123> i have download it from jaunty
[23:00] <cwillu> don't do that, you'll just cause yourself grief
[23:00] <cwillu> fabio123, "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu intrepid main" has firefox-3.1 and firefox-3.2 in it I believe
[23:01] <loulou> is there an application to check to see if the drivers I have are up to date?
[23:01] <fabio123> thank you, i will give it a try
[23:01] <TrentH> Everybody give me a round of applause, I think I have got it installed now.
[23:01] <jclbrt_> damn
[23:01] <_Vi_> !yay | TrentH
[23:01] <cwillu> fabio123, depending on what all got pulled in from jaunty, you may still have issues though
[23:01] <loulou> I am new to ubuntu and Linux.  Jumped of the windows wagon.
[23:01] <fabio123> is it true that 3.1 is better than 3.0 (faster, less memory) ?
[23:01] <sqweek> TrentH: not H for Hawkins?
[23:01] <TrentH> Uhm....
[23:01] <superfirelord42> is there a simple function that ubottu does not have?
[23:01] <TrentH> I have an issue.
[23:01] <jrib> superfirelord42: why?
[23:02] <TrentH> it won't let me enable desktop effects.
[23:02] <Gerinych> !superfirelord42
[23:02] <cwillu> fabio123, in general, it's not a good thing to mix packages;  if you want something from jaunty, look for a ppa repository with the same package for intrepid, or check if the intrepid -backports repository has it.  That way you won't break anything
[23:02] <Bob_Dole> So, I posted the diagnostic information you wanted. http://paste.ubuntu.com/109153/  It still isn't mounting as far as the GUI goes. I don't see it in the media, or mnt folders, wither
[23:02] <TrentH> !help TrentH
[23:02] <superfirelord42> jrib, i have noticed a yay, an ohmy, a ask... tons of stuff
[23:02] <cwillu> (well, won't break anything unexpected...)
[23:02] <TrentH> Oh yes you doo!
[23:02] <Jack_Sparrow> !helpme > TrentH
[23:02] <cwillu> TrentH, what kind of card?
[23:02] <TrentH> Uhm, it's an onboard card.
[23:02] <cwillu> Bob_Dole, what kind of mp3 player is it?
[23:03] <cwillu> TrentH, what does "lspci | grep -i vga" tell you?
[23:03] <cwillu> (should just give one line)
[23:03] <mr_polite> ok guys, upgrading to 8.10. wish me luck
[23:03] <Gerinych> trenth: did you restart the computer after installing display drivers?
[23:03] <TrentH> VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS400 [Radeon Xpress 200]
[23:03] <Bob_Dole> No branding. just a normal Thumbdrive in an oversized USB thumbdrive
[23:03] <nbeebo> how can i do so my audio out is my audio in? my soundcard itself does not support this..
[23:03] <sqweek> i'm trying to get 8.10 on my brother's laptop, but after the progress bar i just get a black screen. verified the md5sum, any likely boot options i should try?
[23:04] <superfirelord42> nbeebo, i will repeat what the other channel said, what makes you think this is possible?
[23:04] <TrentH> cwillu, did you see my post?
[23:04] <cwillu> TrentH, you should see a little chip-looking thing in the corner by the clock, or you can go to system | admin | hardware drivers, either way, that should let you enable the fglrx driver for that card, and then rebootg
[23:04] <nbeebo> superfirelord42, it is possible, end of story
[23:04] <Bob_Dole> nbeebo, if the card doesn't support it, then it isn't posible
[23:05] <TrentH> rebootg?
[23:05] <Bob_Dole> its a hardware reliant feature
[23:05] <rww> superfirelord42: He's been asking this in various places for weeks. Apparently, nbeebo really wants to spam voice chats with dumb music.
[23:05] <superfirelord42> rww, i guess...
[23:05] <cwillu> nbeebo, you can't use an output as an input, unless your card supports it (some cards let you use the mic and line inputs as outputs to get surround sound:  if your card doesn't mention surround sound, odds are you can't do it, it's electrically impossible)
[23:06] <nbeebo> rww, this is about support, so stop it
[23:06] <TrentH> After enabling the driver I need to restart the PC?
[23:06] <Gerinych> trenth: sometimes
[23:06] <gordonjcp> nbeebo: what kind of card do you have?
[23:06] <cwillu> TrentH, yes. Technically speaking, just restarting Xorg or gdm would suffice, but the easiest way to do that is to restart the machine :p
[23:06] <nbeebo> cwillu, i mean inside the filesyste
[23:07]  * cwillu is afk for a minute
[23:07] <jclbrt_> how come when i attempt to add a certain repoistory i get this error  "GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY ED8B789323DC003A
[23:07] <jclbrt_> "
[23:07] <Bob_Dole> Nbeebo, can you make electricity flow the opposite way in a diode within its specified voltage/amperage?
[23:07] <blip-> hi all,  i followed the instructions on this page http://amarok.kde.org/de/node/485  and added "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu hardy main" to my /etc/apt/sources.list,  did an update but amarok-nightly doesn't show up for me.... what's happening here ?   thanks
[23:07] <nbeebo> gordonjcp, how to see this?
[23:07] <gordonjcp> nbeebo: how to see what?
[23:07] <ortsvorsteher> how to set vlc as standard player for multimedia. and switch off totem?
[23:07] <nbeebo> gordonjcp, what kind of card i have?
[23:07] <gordonjcp> nbeebo: you should know, presumably
[23:08] <fabio123> yes lol
[23:08] <rww> ortsvorsteher: System > Preferences > Preferred Applications
[23:08] <gordonjcp> nbeebo: what kind of card did you buy?
[23:08] <fabio123> lspci
[23:08] <nbeebo> Bob_Dole, this is about the filesystem, what the computer thinks i have, everything devices do goes trough /dev im pretty sure
[23:08] <fabio123> if your card sucks it's ATI
[23:08] <nbeebo> gordonjcp, built inside the motherboard i guess
[23:08] <superfirelord42> nbeebo, the file system? that should have nothing to do with sound...
[23:08] <ortsvorsteher> !cookie | rww
[23:09] <Bob_Dole> He's talking about how everything is represented as a FILE ON unix
[23:09] <gordonjcp> nbeebo: if you do lspci it will tell you all the devices on the pci bus
[23:09] <blip-> filthy scumbags ati, their gui utility known as amdcccle in the cli doesn't even detect an external monitor plugged into a laptop
[23:09] <LEX_WELL> any one speak portuguese ?
[23:09] <gordonjcp> nbeebo: from there you might get a clue about who made your card
[23:09] <Bob_Dole> I'm about to rip the Caps lock ff this keyboard
[23:09] <gordonjcp> !pt | LEX_WELL
[23:09] <nbeebo> gordonjcp, thank ill check
[23:09] <blip-> hmm i thought portuguese was like spanish
[23:09] <actionshrimp> hi does anyone know of a good command line calculator that has physical constants built in?
[23:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Bob_Dole I hate my caps lock too, I remapped mine to avoid the problem
[23:10] <_Vi_> Jack_Sparrow: how do you do that?
[23:10] <blip-> i installed NOS on mine
[23:10] <gordonjcp> blip-: it's like spanish, but sort of like USian English is like UKian English
[23:10] <gordonjcp> blip-: only more so ;-)
[23:10] <sqweek> nbeebo: ask an alsa channel
[23:10] <nbeebo> intel 82801H
[23:10] <sqweek> actionshrimp: frink
[23:10] <Jack_Sparrow> _Vi_ It was quite easy..  let me see if I made notes
[23:10] <_Vi_> ok
[23:10] <nbeebo> i did 5 minutes ago, all ask again
[23:10] <actionshrimp> sqweek: is that in the repos?
[23:11] <mondayrocks> Quick question. I'm trying to use just cli for a while and so I stop X and am playing around in the CLI. I've seen it before, but don't know how to have multiple windows open with multiple applications?
[23:11] <Bob_Dole> this is an all around bad keyboard, actually
[23:11] <sqweek> actionshrimp: doubt it
[23:11]  * cwillu is back now
[23:11] <actionshrimp> thanks anywya ill check it out
[23:11] <nbeebo> gordonjcp,  its intel 82801H
[23:11] <cwillu> actionshrimp, 'google'?
[23:11] <blip-> gordonjcp: hmm i see.   even spaniards and portuguese look very similar.  at least what i see of them in football matches :)
[23:11] <mondayrocks> Any ideas?
[23:11] <cwillu> mondayrocks, screen
[23:11] <cwillu> !screen
[23:11] <mondayrocks> Thanks a lot.
[23:11] <cwillu> actionshrimp, google knows constants
[23:12] <gordonjcp> mondayrocks: also ALT-F1 to ALT-F6 will switch between terminals in the console
[23:12] <sqweek> any ideas for a blank screen booting on a laptop?
[23:12] <mondayrocks> Alright.
[23:12] <dionysus_p> what is the difference between wifi0 and ath0
[23:12] <mondayrocks> So each F command is a different terminal?
[23:12] <Bob_Dole> Google knows ALL. the right, and the wrong, and it wil give both to you, indiscriminately.
[23:12] <superfirelord42> sqweek, remove splash but leave quiet on with the boot parameters?
[23:12] <superfirelord42> sqweek, wait, to fix it or make it do that?
[23:13] <gordonjcp> nbeebo: I don't know that one particularly well
[23:13] <nbeebo> a man with google knows even more than just google, called irc..
[23:13] <superfirelord42> nevermind, ignore what i said...
[23:13] <nbeebo> gordonjcp, me neither.. but someone showed me a box to do what i wanted, i had exact same settigns but i didnt have it..
[23:14] <gordonjcp> nbeebo: some implementations of that chipset let you use your line in sockets as rear outputs
[23:14] <nbeebo> gordonjcp, box in alsa gui...
[23:14] <superfirelord42> nbeebo, could their card have that feature in it?
[23:14] <gordonjcp> nbeebo: it really comes down to what the manufacturer implements
[23:14] <gordonjcp> nbeebo: what are you trying to do, anyway?  Multi-channel recording?
[23:14] <Sudaneze> Any one have ana Idea about how to add a new usb modem to make Network manager Auto detect it ?
[23:15] <Sudaneze> an *
[23:15] <nbeebo> gordonjcp, hmm yeah.. but ill keep on asking, this must be possible within the fullsystem.. nope, play audio files with voice chat that doesnt support this
[23:15] <gordonjcp> nbeebo: I'm not sure what you're trying to do
[23:15] <DexXxToR> :-D
[23:15] <rww> nbeebo: "this must be possible within the fullsystem" --> I'm really not sure why you think it's possible.
[23:15] <gordonjcp> nbeebo: but if your card doesn't support it, it doesn't support it
[23:15] <sqweek> nbeebo: alsa lives mostly outside the filesystem, because it is retarded
[23:15] <Bob_Dole> also, speaking of external modems, anyone know where I can find cheap ones?(10-30USD)
[23:15] <sqweek> it has nothing to do with card support
[23:16] <jclbrt_> well moonlight is lame
[23:16] <gordonjcp> sqweek: eh?
[23:16] <sqweek> he just wants a different channel selected for input
[23:16] <jclbrt_> only works on silverlight 1.0
[23:16] <superfirelord42> sqweek, if the feature is not built into the card, how is it supposed to use that feature!?
[23:16] <nbeebo> well, ive seen it in action
[23:16] <jclbrt_> nothing i use uses silverlight 1.0
[23:16] <Yoyoto> Hey does anyone know of a taxcut alternative for Linux?
[23:16] <sycho> So I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 x64. When I loaded it up the first time it wanted to download and enable the ati drivers. I've neer had a problem with this before so I let it. However now when it reboots it loads the splash screen, the bar goes to 100% then goes to terminal. I can only log into terminal now and gnome no longer is working. I have tried replacing xorg.conf with a backup
[23:16] <Ketrel> If I want to make a cron job that would affect a file not owned by me (that I need to use sudo to change) how would I do that?
[23:16] <superfirelord42> sqweek, he didnt say a different chan selected for input, he said use his output as an input
[23:17] <Bob_Dole> I think nbeebo wants a loopback interface
[23:17] <sqweek> look, the voice chat program doesn't know shit about the sound card
[23:17] <jclbrt_> sycho: what happens when u type startx?
[23:17] <sqweek> it just gets fed an input channel by alsa
[23:17] <nickrud> sqweek, think disney g rated for language, thanks
[23:17] <sycho> I cerated when I first loaded. but that didn't work. I also tries restore mode and fixing the Xorg0server. Nothing, any ideas on how to unbreak whatever it just broke?
[23:18] <sycho> when I type starx it say there are no screens. hangs for a few mins, then back to the terminal
[23:18] <Jack_Sparrow> _Vi_ System... Pref..Keyboard..Layout ... Select your Keyboard... Other Options... Ctrl Key Position...   Make capslock and additional ctrl
[23:18] <jclbrt_> :-\
[23:18] <Bob_Dole> over on the ##windows channel I always say FORMAT AND REINSTALL, but I'm sure its much easier to fix on linux.
[23:18] <sycho> jclbrt_: howver when I shutdown it says its closing gnome
[23:18] <sqweek> if you want to pass the output of another channel into that one, it is entirely within alsa's domain. no hardware involved
[23:18] <jclbrt_> well gnome can be running without the xserver running
[23:18] <Gerinych> anyone ever used bitpim?
[23:19] <jclbrt_> what about uninstalling the ATI drivers?
[23:19] <dmsuperman> Without using compiz I'd like to set some of my hotkeys to use Super, however in Keyboard Shortcuts if you even _press_ super it replaces the whole hotkey with it (as opposed to using it as a modifier). Is there a way to fix this?
[23:19] <jclbrt_> what is the graphic card sycho?
[23:19] <Guest27398> cwillu, are you still here
[23:19] <IndyGunFreak> Bob_Dole: sometimes, thats the easiest fix here, also.
[23:19] <jsfoxton> hi ppl!!
[23:19] <cwillu> sycho, from the console, sudo apt-get install pastebinit, and then run pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:19] <dmsuperman> !hi | jsfoxton
[23:19] <sycho> jclbrt_: how can I default back to what the origonal install was? It took me 3 hours to get ubuntu 8.10 to install grub. that was awesome, now this. So far I'm not very impressed with 8.10
[23:19]  * cwillu hides from <Guest27398>
[23:19] <jsfoxton> does anyone know how to uninstall office in wine?
[23:19] <superfirelord42> jsfoxton, have you tried using the uninstaller?
[23:19] <cwillu> eek!
[23:20] <IndyGunFreak> jsfoxton: run the installer in wine
[23:20] <jclbrt_> sycho what is the graphics card?
[23:20] <cwillu> ro, progress?
[23:20] <jsfoxton> sper: yep
[23:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Bob_Dole Did you catch the caplock trick
[23:20] <sycho> jclbrt_: ati x1600
[23:20] <ro> cwillu,  hey the sda2 file has a key next to it and it won't let me resize it
[23:20] <Bob_Dole> just did
[23:20] <Gerinych> jsfoxton: applications>wine>uninstall wine software
[23:20] <Bob_Dole> and it works :)
[23:20] <sycho> cwillu: what will that tell me?
[23:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Bob_Dole Let me know if it hels.. I may make it a factoid
[23:20] <jsfoxton> ger: tried that...keeps coming up with an error and wont uninstal
[23:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Bob_Dole Let me know if it helps.. I may make it a factoid
[23:20] <sqweek> dmsuperman: sounds like you need to set Super as a modifier, see xmodmap
[23:20] <cwillu> sycho, won't tell you anything, but if you give me the link it gives you, it might tell me what's wrong
[23:20] <Darksmurf> Question: Swap on SD card on Intrepid. (Dell Mini9): Reasons not to do it? I would LOVE to be able to hibernate...
[23:21] <superfirelord42> Jack_Sparrow, thanks for the capslock tip
[23:21] <gordonjcp> Darksmurf: it will trash your SD card
[23:21] <cwillu> sycho, (just dumps the log file to pastebin.com, presuming you're connected to the network when you run it)
[23:21] <ro> cwillu, i tried to add the unallocated part back tothe origianl ext3 (widows) it did it and when i wwnt to boot into windows i geta error message
[23:21] <Jack_Sparrow> np I will make a factoid later
[23:21] <sycho> cwillu: alright i will have to reboot in a sec and I will try
[23:21] <Bob_Dole> Yeah.. SD cards use flash. Flash is physically damaged when you write to it
[23:21] <Darksmurf> gordonjcp I am not worried about life of the SD card.
[23:21] <Bob_Dole> Very small amount of damage, but it adds up
[23:21] <cwillu> ro, um,
[23:21] <cwillu> ro, what error message?
[23:22] <gordonjcp> Darksmurf: you could probably arrange to only write to the card when you suspend
[23:22] <cwillu> ro, and are you _sure_ you didn't try anything before you came in here?  (as I said, ext3 isn't a filesystem that windows would normally touch)
[23:22] <ro> cwillu, error message 13 and it says wrong formay and i can't chose my windows
[23:22] <gordonjcp> Darksmurf: but using it as normal swap would knacker the card very very quickly
[23:22] <gordonjcp> Darksmurf: we're possibly talking hours here
[23:22] <rww> ro: The key icon means that it's either mounted or being used as swap. Right-click it and hit "unmount" or "swapoff".
[23:22] <Darksmurf> gordonjcp: ahh, saddness..
[23:22] <Bob_Dole> One of my flash drives has been seriously abused, a 512MB card, now its a 460MB card
[23:22] <cwillu> Darksmurf, you're machine will crash if and when the flash starts to die
[23:22] <Neremor> hello!
[23:22] <ro> cwillu,  why can't i boot bck into windows
[23:23] <Neremor> i've a problem with my shell script
[23:23] <Bob_Dole> ro, is it missing NTLDR?
[23:23] <cwillu> ro, I need to know the error message, and I need to know exactly what you tried to do
[23:23] <rdw200169> Neremor, you should paste it,
[23:23] <Neremor> i have to loggin into a site and parse some information on it and follow links etc... what is the best console-program for that stuff?
[23:23] <rdw200169> !pastebin | Neremor
[23:23] <jclbrt_> i wish i could get more effects to compiz fusion
[23:23] <sqweek> Neremor: curl
[23:23] <jsfoxton> is there another way of uninstalling directly??
[23:23] <superfirelord42> jclbrt_, there is a program for that in ubuntu
[23:23] <Darksmurf> so..maybe a hibernate to disk type of setup, but not a "normal" swap. Thanks. I figured I would have a few weeks of use as swap.
[23:24] <rww> !ccsm | jclbrt_
[23:24] <ro> cwillu,  wqhen i couldn't merge the unall part into my sda2 file i moved it ack into my windows side
[23:24] <Neremor> hm and how do i logg in with curl and follow links?
[23:24] <gordonjcp> jsfoxton: What exactly are you trying to do?
[23:24] <cwillu> ro, frankly, I suspect you deleted your windows partition and replaced it with an ext3 partition, before you took that screen shot :(
[23:24] <Neremor> google didn't tell me
[23:24] <Gerinych> ro: that's because your windows partition is formatted under ext3
[23:24] <superfirelord42> rww, couldnt remember tha name. :P
[23:24] <sqweek> Neremor: curl(1)
[23:24] <jsfoxton> gordon: get rid of office in wine...it says an error occured and wont unistall
[23:24] <j_clbrt> wtf... i keep getting booted
[23:24] <j_clbrt> thanx guys... i have that... i want more options that those tho
[23:25] <ro> cw i din't delete my windows aprt i jst added back the unallocated part so that i can start over now it won't let me reboot back into windows
[23:25] <gordonjcp> jsfoxton: okay, have you got anything else installed in wine?
[23:25] <superfirelord42> jsfoxton, do you have alot installed on wine?
[23:25] <jsfoxton> nothing else
[23:25] <cwillu> ro (use my entire nick, otherwise I won't get highlighted, and if I leave for more than two seconds, I won't know you ever said anything)
[23:25] <gordonjcp> jsfoxton: because if not - or if you do, but it's nothing you care about - you could just delete the .wine directory
[23:25] <superfirelord42> jsfoxton, then just rm -rf ~/.wine
[23:25] <cwillu> ro, (cw<tab> would do it)
[23:26] <gordonjcp> yup
[23:26] <ro> cwillu,  ok
[23:26] <superfirelord42> jsfoxton, if you have nothing you care about like gordonjcp said...
[23:26] <jsfoxton> that will get rid of everything?
[23:26] <gordonjcp> superfirelord42: I was about to say that, but wasn't sure if you were allowed to say "rm -rf" in here ;-)
[23:26] <LEX_WELL> I'm getting some trouble to install a new video card driver, can anybody help me?
[23:26] <gordonjcp> jsfoxton: it will get rid of everything in .wine
[23:26] <cwillu> ro, windows does not use ext3.  It uses ntfs, or it uses fat32.  The fact that your windows drive is on ext3 means something is seriously wrong
[23:26] <j_clbrt> wow gnome-look has like no screensavers
[23:26] <hkais> hello
[23:26] <Bob_Dole> Windows can't read ext3
[23:26] <Bob_Dole> Not only not use it, but not read it
[23:27] <gordonjcp> jsfoxton: "rm" ReMove, "-rf" Recursive, Force, ".wine/" the .wine directory
[23:27] <rww> gordonjcp: It's only a problem if the object of your rm-ing is the root directory.
[23:27] <cwillu> ro, it's possible to install a driver to allow windows to read/write to ext2/3, but you wouldn't have done it by accident, and it still wouldn't allow you to boot from it
[23:27] <hkais> i have copied a vmware installation and migrated the uuid. now my network is missing. where to look for the error?
[23:27] <gordonjcp> jsfoxton: rm -rf is very dangerous.  Treat it like a running chainsaw with a sticky throttle
[23:27] <rww> gordonjcp: or something else catastrophic
[23:27] <superfirelord42> Bob_Dole, it can read it.. there are some drivers, it just has to be installed...
[23:27] <j_clbrt> cwillu: he probably installed ubuntu inside windows
[23:27] <cwillu> Bob_Dole, (there is a windows ext2 driver available which works, but ya :p)
[23:27] <jsfoxton> lol
[23:27] <cwillu> j_clbrt, which, wubi?
[23:27] <luke_> Question:  Why can't I change my screen resolution to something other then 600-480 or 800-600?
[23:27] <Bob_Dole> I have had those drivers..they work poorly >.>
[23:27] <cwillu> ugh
[23:27] <jsfoxton> would i have to reboot to see it removed?
[23:27] <gordonjcp> jsfoxton: rm -rf will quite easily take your leg off
[23:27] <Bob_Dole> or did. Have they updated?
[23:27] <smithw> I figure you get that a lot around here, but are there any (good) news on nvidia legacy drivers for 8.10?
[23:28] <gordonjcp> jsfoxton: there isn't a safety guard, because you might *want* to take your leg off
[23:28] <Bob_Dole> In the past ~2 years\
[23:28] <zelrikriando> rm -rf should be disabled for beginners
[23:28] <j_clbrt> cwillu, yea
[23:28] <ro> cwillu,  i newver ahd a problem going back and forth form windows to linux
[23:28] <luke_> Why can't I change my screen resolution?
[23:28] <brotherhand> has anybody succeeded in getting flash to output audio through usb audio device?
[23:28] <superfirelord42> jsfoxton, no, you wont have to reboot, it just removes it....
[23:28] <j_clbrt> cwillu, i used wubi and now when in linux it says that my windows is installed on ext3
[23:28] <gordonjcp> zelrikriando: that's not as good an idea as you think
[23:28] <Izinucs> gordonjcp: I think what rww was saying is that the location .wine/ is recognized as being in root.. you should reference the location.. if in /home then /home/.wine/
[23:28] <Bob_Dole> ro, you can have more than 1 FS on a HD..just 1 FS per partition
[23:28] <jsfoxton> but i just looked and its still in my apps dir
[23:28] <zelrikriando> gordonjcp, why
[23:28] <luke_> Can't anyone help me?
[23:29] <kerlo> luke_: ello.
[23:29] <j_clbrt> but actually what happens is wubi creates a folder in the root level of the C drive and i guess somehow that is formatted to ext3
[23:29] <superfirelord42> jsfoxton, are you using wine right now?
[23:29] <Izinucs> luke_: do you have an nvidia video card?
[23:29] <cwillu> j_clbrt, wanna take over ro's troubleshooting?  I'm opposed to wubi on ethical grounds (imo, it's stupid to offer it as a valid option, when it's known that something as simple as a power failure can kill the windows fs)
[23:29] <luke_> Hey, I'm trying to change my screen resolution but the only options are 800-600 and 600-480
[23:29] <luke_> Yes
[23:29] <cwillu> (from the ubuntu side)
[23:29] <Bob_Dole> It emulates Ext3, not formatted to ext3
[23:29] <Izinucs> luke_: what model?
[23:29] <gbear14275> so rmdir removes a directory if its empty... but what deleted a directory if its not empty?
[23:29] <j_clbrt> i've never had problems with wubi before
[23:29] <luke_> 8400 GS
[23:29] <hkais> no hints there the networkcard is configured?
[23:29] <rww> Izinucs: gordonjcp asked if he was allowed to say "rm -rf" in here. I was pointing out that it's fine to say it if you're recommending that someone remove (e.g.) ~/.wine, but not if you're talking about deleting / or /etc/ or something.
[23:29] <gbear14275> or is there a force flag?  the ignore option just seems to not work and ignore the error
[23:29] <johnnny>  hi
[23:29] <cwillu> j_clbrt, there's a known issue
[23:30] <jsfoxton> how do i find easily the .wine dir?
[23:30] <j_clbrt> ro what is the problem?
[23:30] <superfirelord42> gbear14275, rm -rf (But beware, it will delete it all)
[23:30] <Izinucs> rww: ah.. I missed that.. sorry
[23:30] <rww> gbear14275: rm -r directoryname
[23:30] <superfirelord42> gbear14275, it wont even ask you...
[23:30] <rww> Izinucs: no problem :)
[23:30] <djabbour> Anyone know what "VT_ACTIVATE operation not permitted" means? I'm trying to debug why this app won't work as a non-root user.
[23:30] <superfirelord42> jsfoxton, first, exit anything you are using in wine
[23:30] <gbear14275> rww: superfirelord42 thanks!
[23:30] <kerlo> I've just booted into an Ubuntu Live CD, probably the most recent one. Right away, my PCI wireless adapter is recognized by iwconfig and ifconfig -a, but ifconfig with no arguments and Network Tools do not list it.
[23:30] <luke_> Izinicus, i thin kt's an 8400 GS
[23:30] <Izinucs> luke_: look in System -->Administrator -->Hardware Drivers and see if there is an nvidia driver there to activate
[23:30] <SherokiX> good night
[23:30] <rww> djabbour: which app?
[23:30] <j_clbrt> cwillu, i only did it cuz i wanted a way to have a dynamic storage size for ubuntu
[23:30] <gordonjcp> zelrikriando: because it's not that big a problem, and rf -rf is something you need to do surprisingly often
[23:31] <superfirelord42> jsfoxton, then open a terminal and run "cd ~"
[23:31] <cwillu> j_clbrt, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=522296
[23:31] <kerlo> Also, ifup doesn't recognize it.
[23:31] <zelrikriando> gordonjcp, I personnally dont
[23:31] <djabbour> rww, It's a binary which tests this library I'm using tslib. It reads from the touchscreen event input /dev/input/event5 and writes to the framebuffer /dev/fb0.
[23:31] <luke_> "No propriety drivers are in use on this system"
[23:31] <cwillu> ro, apparently booting off the windows install cd, and running chkdsk c: /R might fix things, but I can't vouch for it
[23:32] <superfirelord42> jsalisbury, and then you can do the "rm -rf .wine", but make sure you enter that exactly....
[23:32] <sqweek> djabbour: it's trying to use a priveledged ioctl
[23:32] <ro> j_clbrt,  i tried to merge a unallocated part into sda2 it din't work it had a key next to it and then i proceeded to put it back into my windows ext3 and now i can't reboot back into windows
[23:32] <luke_> Izinicus, it says no propriety drivers are in use on this system
[23:32] <LEX_WELL> anybody have
[23:32] <djabbour> sqweek, Okay, can I chmod something to give it access?
[23:32] <zelrikriando> hmm maybe I do
[23:32] <Izinucs> luke_: is this a brand new install?
[23:32] <rww> djabbour: In a default Ubuntu setup, at least one of those /dev/ nodes isn't accessible by normal users. That's probably your issue.
[23:32] <luke_> Yes
[23:32] <LEX_WELL> problem with 945gm Intel videocard
[23:33] <j_clbrt> ro u may need to reinstall grub... it seems to have lost where windows is installed
[23:33] <sqweek> djabbour: no, ioctls live outside the filesystem because they're retarded
[23:33] <ortsvorsteher> !anyone | LEX_WELL
[23:33] <djabbour> sqweek, so is my only option to run this app as a root user?
[23:33] <Izinucs> luke_: use my nick in replys.. type the first few characters and hit TAB to auto complete then I'll see what you are addressing to me easier.
[23:33] <j_clbrt> ro: did u install ubuntu on it's own partition or did u use wubi
[23:33] <sqweek> yes
[23:33] <godtvisken> hmm..i have no discs to burn! is there a way to install ubuntu virtually? i am on win vista. i was thinking of installing vmware and somehow partitioning the disc, then from vmware installing ubuntu on an empty partition. then i'd need a bootloader too.. hm!
[23:33] <superfirelord42> j_clbrt, i thought he was using wubi
[23:33] <ro> j_clbrt,  i installed ubutnu froma live cd
[23:34] <j_clbrt> sqweek, i think u could probably change to permissions on it
[23:34] <djabbour> sqweek, No, that's impossible. I have to be able to fix this. Any ideas what I could do to the application code?
[23:34] <johnnny> i have a problem: I just installed ubuntu 8.04 LTS, all good, but when I go in VI to edit a file, and use the arrows, it gives me the letters : A B C and D on new lines :(    ... any clues ?
[23:34] <superfirelord42> j_clbrt, i guess that means i am wrong
[23:34] <djabbour> sqweek, or any resources you recommend I read to get a better understanding
[23:34] <luke_> Izinucs, Alright
[23:34] <sqweek> djabbour: work out what VT_ACTIVATE does
[23:34] <Izinucs> luke_: go to applications>accessories>terminal and in the terminal type ( sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ).. this will update you system then check the previous location again for nvidia drivers available.
[23:35] <j_clbrt> ro: did you boot off the CD or did you do it from within windows?
[23:35] <ro> j_clbrt,  how do install grub and what happened to my windows
[23:35] <Izinucs> luke_: without the "(" or ")"
[23:35] <LEX_WELL> Does anybody can help me I'm  a noob?
[23:35] <j_clbrt> well first tell me ro did you install ubuntu from inside windows
[23:35] <j_clbrt> or did you boot off the live CD
[23:35] <ortsvorsteher> !anyone | LEX_WELL
[23:35] <ro> j_clbrt,  form inside windows
[23:35] <j_clbrt> oh
[23:35] <j_clbrt> shit
[23:35] <superfirelord42> LEX_WELL, you have to be more specific, what do you need help with, what is wrong, etc.
[23:35] <Izinucs> !ask | LEX_WELL
[23:35] <ortsvorsteher> !details | LEX_WELL
[23:35] <j_clbrt> this is gonna be a lot harder to fix then
[23:35] <El> hey how can i use microsoft office on ubuntu
[23:36] <Izinucs> El: why when you have Open Office.?
[23:36] <j_clbrt> i think u may have accidentally deleted windows when messing with the partitions
[23:36] <_Vi_> El: i don tthink you can
[23:36] <superfirelord42> ro, just out of curiosity, do you have any backups?
 mainly for school the docs are templates that work on MS pluss its better
[23:36] <ro> j_clbrt,  i just learnt to reboot in cd thru the bios options so i installed linux thru windows
[23:37]  * johnnny needs help :P
[23:37] <ro> superfirelord42, my windows is baked up already
[23:37] <superfirelord42> j_clbrt, if its just a partition table, there are tools to fix it, or did he mess up the partition itself?
 i wassnt sure if i could i heard about somthing called crossover
[23:37] <_Vi_> johnnny: if you open that using vim instead of vi does that help?
[23:37] <johnnny> _Vi_: checking
[23:37] <_Vi_> El: isnt crossover for mac?
[23:37] <j_clbrt> superfirelord42, unfortunately he used Wubi, which does not create a seperate partition for windows
[23:38] <johnnny> _Vi_: it's beautiful!!!
[23:38] <johnnny> but.. :O
[23:38] <johnnny> i type vi :P
[23:38] <ro> j_clbrt, yes i installed linux thru windows but everything was working fine until now
[23:38] <LEX_WELL> I'm trying to install a driver for my Intel  945gm video card
[23:38] <Izinucs> El: templates might work in Open Office and you can also save in MS format.. Better? that's very subjective .. for the vast majority of people it doesn't make one hoot of difference..
[23:38] <j_clbrt> so it seems that in order to fix it he is gonna need to restore windows then reboot off the Live CD and create a seperate ext3 partition for ubuntu
[23:38] <superfirelord42> j_clbrt, yeah, but his issue origionally was windows was being detected as ext3, so did he accidently mess up the tables, or did he corrupt the partition
[23:38] <j_clbrt> ro: what were u doing before it broke?
[23:38] <_Vi_> johnnny: theres also gvim too or vim -g
[23:38] <LEX_WELL> I got the files from the http://intellinuxgraphics.org/testing.html
[23:39] <j_clbrt> oh wiat..... u mean it said windows was installed on an ext3 partition superfirelord42 ?
[23:39] <LEX_WELL> I belive that the files are fine
[23:39] <johnnny> _Vi_: i only run in console (im in server-mode)
[23:39] <j_clbrt> he cnt do that
[23:39] <j_clbrt> it needs to be ntfs or FAT32
[23:39] <superfirelord42> j_clbrt, yeah, i belive thats what he came in here to fix
[23:39] <ro> j_clbrt,  i was in livecd trying to merge the unallocated part into my sda2 ext
[23:39] <j_clbrt> preferably NTFS
[23:39] <superfirelord42> it was being detected as that
[23:39] <johnnny> _Vi_: I'm guessing gvim is a gnome X thingny ?
[23:39] <_Vi_> johnnny: ah use vim then if you can
[23:40] <j_clbrt> ro: do you have Gparted by chance
[23:40] <LEX_WELL> but I don't know how to use a install.sh
[23:40] <Ketrel> If I want to make a cron job that would affect a file not owned by me (that I need to use sudo to change) how would I do that?
[23:40] <_Vi_> johnnny: gvim is GUI point and clicky yeah
[23:40] <johnnny> _Vi_: is there aparticular reason for this variation between "vi" and "vim" with arrows ?
[23:40] <ro> j_clbrt, Yes that is what i was using
[23:40] <j_clbrt> ok... when you are in linux can you see your windows partition right now?
[23:40] <_Vi_> johnnny: that im not sure why its doing that to you.. try google maybe for an answer
[23:40] <johnnny> _Vi_: just wondering, cuz I'll fix it if i can
[23:40] <ortsvorsteher> LEX_WELL: just got to install.sh location in terminal, but btw, why you are use foreign drivers? which ubuntu version you use?
[23:41] <Neremor> hm i have another curl problem
[23:41] <Neremor> it is about the loggin with curl
[23:41] <j_clbrt> ro: when you are in linux can you see your windows partition right now?
[23:41] <jsfoxton> hi peeps

[23:42] <superfirelord42> j_clbrt, could this help? http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[23:42] <_Vi_> johnnny: theres like 10 different VI's, it can get very confusing , and some distros modify it and stuff, so it's hard to tell whats really going on
[23:42] <johnnny> _Vi_: some talk about : :set nocompatible
[23:42] <Neremor> the key is a random compilation of 26 numbers
[23:42] <_Vi_> johnnny: that might work

[23:42] <Neremor> how can i get this key and submit it so the system thinks it is a valid form-entry?
[23:42] <fonzarelli> Gerinych: a lot of times that is a setting in your bios, boot up numlock status
[23:43] <Izinucs> !pgp | Neremor
[23:43] <johnnny> _Vi__: i'll figure it out :)
[23:43] <ortsvorsteher> LEX_WELL: are you able to read what i am writing to you?
[23:43] <On0bi> does anyone know where i can play D&D over irc?
[23:43] <johnnny> _Vi_: think the first link will solve the issue.
[23:43] <j_clbrt> ok.. ro how many partitions do you have on your computer right now?
[23:43] <_Vi_> johnnny: yeah sorry i couldnt be of more assistance :)
[23:43] <johnnny> _Vi_: creating a file: .vimrc in my home dir.
[23:43] <johnnny> _Vi_: with set nocompatible   in it.
[23:43] <gbear14275>  I hate vi...
[23:44] <ortsvorsteher> gbear14275: i love vi
[23:44] <El> allright thank you both
[23:44] <_Vi_> johnnny: yeah that file is for custom options
[23:44] <superfirelord42> gbear14275, nano?
[23:44]  * _Vi_ smacks gbear14275 hey now
[23:44] <gbear14275> ortsvorsteher: I'm stuck in it
[23:44] <ro> j_clbrt, when i couldn't merge the unallocated part into my sda2 i moved it back into ext 3 and i changed the ios to boot in harddrive and i went ack to my windows option at boot up and now i get an error message saying something aout format
[23:44] <johnnny> k, well thanks for now :)
[23:44] <johnnny> i might be back
[23:44] <ro> j_clbrt, /dev/sda1
[23:44] <_Vi_> ok johnnny
[23:44] <gbear14275> lol not you _Vi_, but vi the editor...
[23:44] <On0bi> does anyone know where i can play D&D over irc?
[23:44] <hephasteus> I'm trying to find whether my 1.5 TB Seagate FreeAgent external HDD can be found..  can someone help me at least find out if it is seen by the OS?
[23:44] <_Vi_> vi pwnz, once you get used to it
[23:44] <ro> j_clbrt, 4
[23:44] <ortsvorsteher> gbear14275: i have now 10 years experience with vi, take your time ;)
[23:45] <j_clbrt> well make sure that the partition that has windows is in the NTFS format
[23:45] <draeday> hey is there a utility to check the cpu fan and to control it? because my fan in my laptop no blowing the air out
[23:45] <_Vi_> gbear14275: i knew what you meant, i adore vi hence my nick ;)
[23:45] <RusBoy> guys i decided to swith from debian to ubuntu , any place for syntax from debian to ubuntu ?
[23:45] <j_clbrt> u should be able to do that from the live CD
[23:45] <sycho> cwillu: SO pastebinit timed out, but the error its giving stopping on in the logs is no screens found.
[23:45] <gbear14275> ortsvorsteher: yeah I know about that whole keyboard mode type thing better argument... but all I know is I svn commit and get stuck in VI... and I ... get frustrated
[23:45] <j_clbrt> the only problem is that it may erase windows (i am not sure it can format a drive and keep the contents but it may be able to)
[23:45] <Gerinych> fonzarelli: windows remembers what locks i turned on before and turns them on automatically
[23:45] <hephasteus> it doesn't show up in fdisk -a and I'm using a USB 2.0 cable
[23:46] <hephasteus> -l
[23:46] <gbear14275> so... vi lovers... how the heck do i get out of this thing... I did the whole press esc, then Q! but its just beeping mockingly at me
[23:46] <ortsvorsteher> its off topic... gbear14275 but, the first year in vi was not easy for me too ;)
[23:46] <ro> j_clbrt,  /dev/sad1,/dev/sda2./dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6
[23:46] <fonzarelli> Gerinych: here you go:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock
[23:46] <gbear14275> ortsvorsteher: I'm sure I'll get it eventually... but for now... not happy
[23:46] <holyguyver> Baughn, I am back from my nap with the report
[23:46] <j_clbrt> ro: ok... which one has windows on it tho
[23:46] <Gerinych> fonzarelli: ill look at it, thanks
[23:46] <gbear14275> ortsvorsteher: its on my todo list (learn vi)
[23:47] <ro> j_clbrt, the first one /dev/sda1
[23:47] <cwillu> sycho, it's the lines above it that are relevant :p
[23:47] <hephasteus> Is there a specific module I need to load for the Seagate external drive ?
[23:47] <holyguyver> Baughn, are you there?
[23:47] <cwillu> sycho, wired or wireless network?
[23:47] <j_clbrt> ro: what format is sda1 in?
[23:47] <ortsvorsteher> gbear14275: just press one time ESC. after that type :set showmode
[23:47] <ia6303v> where does one find b43load in intrepid?
[23:47] <j_clbrt> i cnt stand vi
[23:47] <j_clbrt> all the stupid keys you need to press
[23:47] <ro> j_clbrt, how do i tell that
[23:48] <_Vi_> gbear14275: once you  press ESC you have to type :q! to exit,, or to save/exit :wq
[23:48] <gbear14275> ok i got out... thanks ort for the help
[23:48] <_Vi_> or :qall
[23:49] <gbear14275> now to look up how to change the default text editor
[23:49] <j_clbrt> ro: I'm not sure... but u could tell from the LiveCD partition manager
[23:49] <gbear14275> that or uninstall vi
[23:49] <ortsvorsteher> gbear14275: now in showmode, you are able to see if you are in insert mode or in navigate mode
[23:49] <gbear14275> >:)
[23:49] <cwillu> sycho, ?
[23:49] <zumz> offtopic: telia users experience lags with american hosts ATM?
[23:49] <ro> j_clbrt, i'm not in the livecd right now
[23:49] <_Vi_> gbear14275: for setting default applications Preferences>Prefered applications
[23:49] <holyguyver> Well anyway I then need someone else who can tell me what this means. Baughn gave me a command to use badblock to find out how much dammahed one of my harddrives had & if it was trustable, but I had to sleep well it obtained the results. I will now give you guys the resaults.
[23:50] <ia6303v> does some one understand BCM wireless drivers...done thie fwcutter, etc...now in intrepid do not see the infamous b43load command...where do I find that?
[23:50] <j_clbrt> i know ro, u may need to boot into to find out tho
[23:50] <godtvisken> hmm..i have no discs to burn! is there a way to install ubuntu virtually? i am on win vista. i was thinking of installing vmware and somehow partitioning the disc, then from vmware installing ubuntu on an empty partition. then i'd need a bootloader too.. hm!
[23:50] <johnnny> _Vi_: my backspace doesn't seem to work and my delete button won't delete new lines.  (any clues ? hehe)
[23:50] <j_clbrt> cwillu, how can ro list the format of the drives in his computer
[23:50] <johnnny> _Vi_: in vi and vim
[23:50] <ro> what do you mean exactly by format
[23:50] <j_clbrt> ro the type of filesystem
[23:51] <cwillu> j_clbrt, live cd, gparted
[23:51] <iamelite> So, I install 8.10 x86 onto an HP P-4 ATI based Desktop, i throw in "noapic" to get it to boot, it seems to die as soon as it tried to boot X
[23:51] <ro> j_clbrt, the file system says ext3
[23:51] <cwillu> should pick up the partition type correctly, but it won't when booted under wubi
[23:51] <j_clbrt> well ro that would be the problem
[23:51] <j_clbrt> windows needs to be on NTFS
[23:51] <hephasteus> ok I loaded the ntfs.ko module, will it load after I restart? in order to see my seagate external drive?
[23:51] <j_clbrt> so u need to go back into gparted and change that to NTFS
[23:51] <jsfoxton> hi ppl.. i've removed wine from my system but office is still showing on my apps menu??
[23:51] <ro> j_clbrt, probally ecause i installed linux in windows
[23:51] <joljam> ActionParsnip1:  I have updated xorg.conf . should I restart now
[23:51] <iamelite> And i can tell it it froze because the num-caps lock wouldnt even register
[23:51] <holyguyver> Actgionally I can't because it is still spitting them out
[23:52] <j_clbrt> thats not why ro
[23:52] <leefmc> Question: How do you ssh copy from one computer to another?
[23:52] <ro> j_clbrt, why dan't i boot into windowsa
[23:52] <leefmc> via cmd line, ofcourse
[23:52] <j_clbrt> cuz windows doesnt work with the ext3 format
[23:52]  * johnnny is back with another problem :P
[23:52] <j_clbrt> it needs to be ntfs
[23:52] <ortsvorsteher> leefmc: you need to install ssh server on both boxes
[23:52] <j_clbrt> when u were editing ur partitions u may have accidentally changed it
[23:52] <gbear14275> there a command that finds a file in the fs without using grep?  or is grep what I would use? (wondering cause doesn't grep search inside files as well?, looking for the .bashrc file)
[23:52] <rww> leefmc: using scp. See "man scp", and no, you don't need ssh server on both boxes
[23:53] <rww> leefmc: there's also sftp, which also has a manpage
[23:53] <ro> j_clbrt, so how do i change that and how do i get back to boot into windows
[23:53] <ortsvorsteher> leefmc: to copy a file between two hosts just host1: scp file aim_host:/path/where/file/has/to/be/
[23:53] <ia6303v> quit
[23:53] <j_clbrt> ro: i just told u
[23:53] <TrentonH> Hello
[23:53] <j_clbrt> go back to the Gparted
[23:53] <leefmc> thanks all
[23:53] <ro> j_clbrt,  i forget the error message ut it something pertaining to format
[23:53] <wesolek> hello, is anybody up for a challenge to help me out installing drivers for my touch screen on my hp tx2000 laptop?
[23:53] <leefmc> wesolek: Ooo
[23:53] <ortsvorsteher> !anyone | wesolek
[23:53] <TrentonH> Why doesn't it show the users on the list?
[23:54] <j_clbrt> ro: i need to know the whole error message
[23:54] <j_clbrt> that doesnt help
[23:54] <TrentonH> I only have 2 people in the room.
[23:54] <joljam> after updating xorg.conf should I restart
[23:54] <holyguyver> Here is a small peice of the list from badblock http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/109171/
[23:54] <TrentonH> Can somebody help me?
[23:54] <ro> j_clbrt,  i will have to reoot and how do i change that into ntfs
[23:54] <j_clbrt> TrentonH, what is wrong
[23:54] <eurorail> greeting ubuntu people...  my first time... newbie... are there multiple "rooms" or is this the place?  sorry, but i am new
[23:54] <jsfoxton> can anyone help me get rid of office even though wine has been unistalled?
[23:54] <rww> !irc | eurorail
[23:54] <j_clbrt> well look around on the disk it will make it obvious
[23:54] <j_clbrt> ro
[23:55] <cwillu> jsfoxton, right click the menu, 'edit menus', and remove them
[23:55] <j_clbrt> i dnt really know gparted that well
[23:55] <Kano> hi, how to reboot to grub menu and not just reboot into linux?
[23:55] <j_clbrt> i havent used it in awhule
[23:55] <jsfoxton> cwillu: but what about the actual files???
[23:55] <j_clbrt> kano hit esc
[23:55] <heatmzzr> eurorail: plenty of "rooms" here
[23:55] <_Vi_> johnnny: you might only have tiny-vim installed, you might try to install the full package 'sudo apt-get install vim'  not sure if this will solve the issues or not though
[23:55] <ro> j_clbrt, in gparted i found out i can change the ext3 into ntfs
[23:55] <eurorail> thanks ubotto
[23:55] <j_clbrt> before it starts up
[23:55] <holyguyver> eurorail, there are other rooms for off-topic discussion & kubuntu & xubuntu & other language discussions
[23:55] <j_clbrt> yes ro
[23:55] <wesolek> ortsvorsteher, I have asked my question right there, no need for "anyone" command
[23:55] <cwillu> jsfoxton, in ~/.wine probably
[23:55] <TrentH> j_clbrt: Pidgin only displays 10 people in the room. You're not one of them.
[23:55] <johnnny> _Vi_: for the backspace and delete keys ? :)
[23:56] <j_clbrt> TrentH, not sure i dnt use pidgin for irc
[23:56] <ro> j_clbrt, do that now
[23:56] <cwillu> jsfoxton, uninstalling never removes configuration files, unless you also purge.  And even then, it won't affect stuff in your home directory generally
[23:56] <_Vi_> johnnny: worth a try ?
[23:56] <j_clbrt> TrentH, try xchat
[23:56] <j_clbrt> ro yea
[23:56] <jsfoxton> cwillu: ~/.wine is ~ root?
[23:56] <johnnny> _Vi_: try to do the less changes :)
[23:56] <Kano> there is no grub displayed at all to press esc
[23:56] <j_clbrt> but are u booted from CD
[23:56] <johnnny> _Vi_: but it should be Ok :)
[23:56] <TrentH> Their we go!
[23:56] <cwillu> ~ is /home/<username> (automatically)
[23:56] <j_clbrt> ro: u need to be booted on CD
[23:56] <wesolek> leefmc, is that a big problem? I've tried to follow some directions I found on one the forums, but it lead me nowhere
[23:56] <ro> j_clbrt, it's domne now what
[23:56] <TrentH> Ah, my nickname is changed as well.
[23:56] <ro> j_clbrt, it did it now
[23:56] <TrentH> My nickname does say TrentH correct?
[23:57] <j_clbrt> well ro reboot and see if windows works
[23:57] <wesolek> leefmc, or at least I wasn't able to install it properly
[23:57] <holyguyver> So is no one going to tell me what that pastebin I put up means?
[23:57] <ro> j_clbrt, ok thanks
[23:57] <jsfoxton> cwillu: .wine has never been there unless it is hidden?? how do i find it?
[23:57] <KenBW2> TrentH: yup
[23:57] <j_clbrt> i gotta go bbl
[23:57] <gordonjcp> jsfoxton: the . means it's hidden
[23:57] <TrentH> Holyguyver, what is the link?
[23:57] <ro> j_clbrt, i'll be back later
[23:57] <eurorail> so let me get this right... this is a place that gurus hang out to exchange ideas and help newbies like me?
[23:57] <holyguyver> TrentH,  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/109171/
[23:57] <gordonjcp> jsfoxton: type "ls .wi<TAB>"
[23:57] <KenBW2> eurorail: yup
[23:58] <redvamp128> jsfoxton:  open up a prompt and type  ( cd .wine then cd_drive_c ) that is the default location of your c: for the wine install
[23:58] <ro> j_clbrt, how do i solve the moving the remaining harddrive space over to my linux side
[23:58] <On0bi> does anyone know where i can play D&D over irc?
[23:58] <TrentH> holyguyver, can you tell me more about what this pastebin may be?
[23:58] <cwillu> jsalisbury, ctrl-h
[23:58] <eurorail> thx ken... i have already run into some snags trying to get ubyntu alternate installed on my win98 era sony vaio with no bootable cd or floppy drive... got stuck after 5 hours on loadlin!
[23:58] <cwillu> jsfoxton, ctrl-h
[23:59] <cwillu> jsfoxton, anything starting with a '.' is a hidden file in unix
[23:59] <KenBW2> eurorail: you need the alternate install cd
[23:59] <eurorail> i got loadlin to work, but the kerel would panic and crash because i didnt have the root= syntax right.... being a newbie to linux
[23:59] <jsfoxton> cwillu: yay no .wine
[23:59] <TrentH> Can somebody tell me how to adjust my screen resolution?
