[00:00] <_Vi_> On0bi: I dont think theres many RPG type channels on freenode, freenode tends to lean more towards technical topics...you might try something like searchirc.com and look for "Fantasy" or "RGP" , "D&D"
[00:00] <KenBW2> eurorail: ah, then you'll need to ask someone else sorry - i cant help
[00:00] <eurorail> i dont have a cd drive. i have to install it form the hard drive...and no floppy!  so i had to try to get dos to boot a kernel and then the installer but i got stuck on the syntax of the loadlin in dos
[00:00] <holyguyver> TrentH, Yes, sorry, you must have missed it the first time I said it. Earlier Baughn had me used badblock to find out the health of my harddrive, but it took hours for the programs to answer, it was 9AM then & only now at 5PM do I have an answer, but Baughn is not in at the moment, so I was looking for someone who could tell me what this answer means?
[00:01] <eurorail> does anyone know where i canget someone to help me with that loadlin syntax for installing ubuntu onto an older machine with no cd or floppy?
[00:01] <eurorail> AND no net connection!  ;)   i can get files on it in windows...  with an sd card
[00:02] <johnnny> I'm getting this error while doing: sudo apt-get install vim       http://pastebin.ca/1317448
[00:02] <Gerinych> how do i apply emerald themes
[00:02] <holyguyver> eurorail, if it can take an SDcard then it isn't that old.
[00:02] <leefmc> wesolek: No, i just havent had much luck with out of the ordinary devices & linux heh
[00:02] <TrentH> holyguyver, what is wrong with your harddrive?
[00:02] <jsfoxton> cwillu: how do i get it removed from the app dir if i cant find it in add/remove
[00:02] <leefmc> wesolek: All depends on popularity i spose
[00:02] <holyguyver> TrentH, I a year & a half ago dropped it from 4 feet onto the ground.
[00:03] <eurorail> holy:  i got a card reader to work in win98...   so i could backup and put files on it. i just cant get ubuntu installer to run... will not boot from cd and no floppy
[00:03] <faileas> eurorail: i think if you can get a disk image, and unetbootin, it should be sufficient to start up an install from windows
[00:03] <Dante123> hi all, trying to install latest pidgin and it says that not all dependencies are satisfied....pidgin 2.5.4 says this.  Any suggestions?  Also, what does sudo dpkg -i *.deb do?
[00:03] <eurorail> unetbootin requires and internet connection no?
[00:03] <bobbob1016> I'm running Mythbuntu 8.10, with an nVidia 8200 on the mobo and the propritary drivers.  I'm not getting a gui anymore.  I checked /var/log, and the files don't seem to have been updated for a while.  Any ideas?
[00:03] <cwillu> jsfoxton, depends where it put the file.  Easiest just to hide the menu (we're talking a couple k, nothing big enough to worry about)
[00:03] <Pricey> Dante123: is there a reason why you are not using the pidgin in the repositories?
[00:03] <eurorail> or can i use it to direct the installer on the disk...
[00:04] <TrentH> holyguyver: Are you having information loss? weird sound from the driver?
[00:04] <wesolek> leefmc, I think some people managed to install it properly, but when I follow their steps, I get some errors along the way... not very fluent in linux world, so I can't figure out what is wrong
[00:04] <holyguyver> TrentH, no I am not
[00:04] <jsfoxton> cwilllu: ok...so how do i do that?
[00:04] <TrentH> hoyguyver: If you dropped it and it still works shouldn't be any problems.
[00:04] <famous> is anyone able to provide support for octave here? i just have a question about getting the symbols package operating properly for octave 3.0
[00:04] <johnnny> this is strange :P..
[00:05] <TrentH> holyguyver: Since you are not having issues with it, why test it?
[00:05] <holyguyver> TrentH, it did not work after I dropped it, I paid 1600$ to get the data off of it.
[00:05] <johnnny> something must be wrong with my apt setup..
[00:05] <wesolek> leefmc, I thought, if anywhere, here would be the best place to find somebody that could help me out
[00:05] <TrentH> holyguyver: Oh my god, was your information really that important?
[00:05] <eurorail> well.... can anyone help direct me to get help with that loadlin command line stuff in dos so i can get an install to run without any removable media or net connection?
[00:05] <Wiseguy> hey guys, is it possible to install ubuntu from a USB key?
[00:05] <holyguyver> TrentH, I tested it because as you can see from my pastebin there are bad sectors & the drive is dieing from a head crunch.
[00:05] <j_nw1> hi.. just installed ubuntu 8.10 server from the CD. It is not configured for accessing repositories over the network and keeps on asking for CDROM everytime. Also, it does not have universe repos configured. Can some one please send me pointers to these repositories.. that I need to add in sources.list.. Thanks.
[00:05] <holyguyver> TrentH, Yes it was that important.
[00:06] <Dante123> Pricey I keep getting dc'ed after a few minutes.  Chatter just quits appearing on my screen although the program is still running.  The pidgin irc channel says dont bother asking for help unless you are running 2.5.4 and so I checked my version and see it is outdated...thought the new one might fix any bugs.
[00:06] <RocketLauncher> Damn I never knew i was registered
[00:06] <TrentH> holyguyver: Actually, I have no idea what that pastebin means. I am not very harddrive savvy.
[00:06] <ortsvorsteher> !sources.list | j_nw1
[00:06] <Gerinych> how do i apply emerald themes?
[00:06] <Flannel> j_nw1: You'll be editing /etc/apt/sources.list, comment out the CDrom line.  Uncomment the universe lines and you'll be good.  Then sudo apt-get update again
[00:06] <j_nw1> sources.list.d
[00:06] <Flannel> j_nw1: No, /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:06] <TrentH> holyguyver: I was lucky to get my harddrivers in Raid 0.
[00:06] <Dante123> With my luck, you will answer my question and I will never see it because I usually get dced in five to ten minutes.  Have to restart pidgin for it to work again.  Running 8.10
[00:07] <leefmc> wesolek: Atleast a decent shot :), i was just commenting on it, nothing good/bad intended about it :)
[00:07] <Pricey> Dante123: if you can't install software from pidgin.im, i suggest you ask them for support.
[00:07] <holyguyver> TrentH, that pastebin is a list of bad sectors
[00:07] <j_nw1> Flannel : The installation does not have pointers.. that i can simple uncomment.
[00:07] <leefmc> wesolek: Im in the same boat as you, involving the linux world, that is,
[00:07] <holyguyver> TrentH, meaning the harddrive is nearly dead
[00:07] <alltax> I have a problem with the GUI of xfig. The fields become to long causing some buttons become hidden
[00:07] <leefmc> wesolek:  Flannel saved my life, maybe he knows. :D
[00:08] <TrentH> holyguyver: perhaps get a new drive?
[00:08] <wesolek> leefmc, lol :)

[00:08] <Dante123> Pricey did you just read my message!  They won't support unless you have the latest.  I try to remove the one that is installed, ubuntu says I cant.  I try to install 2.5.4 deb and it says that dependencies are not met.  What's a noob to do?
[00:08] <RocketLauncher> i typed it in twice sorry

[00:08] <TrentH> holyguyver: Which is cheaper, new drive or $1,600 to recover the information again?
[00:09] <holyguyver> TrentH, there is no information on it
[00:09] <alesan> hi, do you know if it is possible to create RAID partitions on the installer of ubuntu server and use them?
[00:09] <RocketLauncher> holyguyver: NEW DRIVE
[00:09] <TrentH> holyguyver: But you do plan on putting information back on it correct?
[00:09] <thiebaude> new computer,lol
[00:09] <wesolek> flannel, do you know by any chance how to install / make work a touch screen? I followed one of the threads and it led me nowhere, but it may have been because my xorg.config looked nothing like it should according to thread

[00:09] <TrentH> Can someone tell me how to get a dialup connection to work on Ubuntu 8.10?
[00:09] <Flannel> j_nw1: Pastebin your sources.list please
[00:10] <holyguyver> TrentH, yes, but will you pay for my new drive for me? if not, then you have no right telling me to get a new one, only to suggest that if I have the money to, then that would be best.
[00:10] <Cpudan80> !dialup | TrentH
[00:10] <Flannel> wesolek: Not really no.  You may try starting your own thread.

[00:10] <walbert> Hey folks.  I'm doing some work on a project that uses GTK, and working under Kubuntu 8.10.  I'd like to be able to change my gtk themes around.  I installed gtk-engine-* and gtk-theme-switch2, but i still only get the default options of Qt4 and Raleigh in the theme switcher.  What am I doing wrong?
[00:10] <RocketLauncher> Can someone tell me how to fix compiz from interfering with video playback (flickering, etc) without disabling compiz?

[00:11] <wesolek> flannel, ta :)
[00:11] <TrentH> holyguyver: I only suggested you get a new one. As I find it less expensive to buy a new drive than try and fix this broken one, and risk it breaking again.

[00:16] <Flannel> j_nw1: That is.
[00:16] <cjae> walbert: worried about the ati chipset part of it
[00:16] <gnubuntu> johnnny: just try sudo apt-get install -f

[00:19] <holyguyver> Baughn, so would a wipe be worth it?

[00:19] <TrentH> Ah come on...
[00:19] <ty> Can i make gnome as fast as xfce, and it still look the same?
[00:19] <lstarnes> TrentH: sudo lshw
[00:20] <signil> argh, now could someone give me any suggestions pls? :'(
[00:20] <Flannel> johnnny: Because that's a good way to break something.  There's absolutely no reason you need to use force to install a normal package.
[00:20] <walbert> ty: Don't ask silly questions
[00:20] <lstarnes> ty: I don't think so
[00:20] <ro> cwillu, i diud what you told me and made the ext3 an nfts and reooted then i get the bootmgr is missing and i can't reboot into windows
[00:20] <Flannel> johnnny: "when something doesn't fit, force it" isn't a good policy... ever.
[00:20] <Baughn> holyguyver: Well, that's the question. You can force a remapping by manually writing to those particular sectors, but the HD might not even have that many extra sectors (well, you'd find out), and at any rate, there'll be damage to the /heads/ too
[00:20] <johnnny> Flannel: oh, it's force install..
[00:20] <walbert> ty: Well, you can ask silly questions, but stop asking that particular silly question :)
[00:20] <yagga> holyguyver: use dd to image your hdd the look at ptk from dflabs
[00:20] <Caverus> Alright then. I'm in my Sound Preferences and I'm trying to get the test sound to play for any device, but they keep returning errors on playback. "Could not get/set settings from/on resource." or "Could not open audio device for playback." or the like. Any suggestions?
[00:20] <ro> yagga, when do i do that at start up
[00:20] <cjae> walbert: ok what is better plug and play OS in bios or not
[00:21] <johnnny> Flannel: so, what do you think of the apt-get update pastebin ?
[00:21] <cwillu> ro, I _didn't_ say to _make_ it an ntfs, I said the fact that it wasn't ntfs was really suspicious, and then somebody else said it was wubi, and I handed you off to him :(
[00:21] <gnubuntu> johnnny: Flannel is right. Maybe you should remove vim-common first then install it again
[00:21] <Flannel> johnnny: Alright, try installing it again, if it doesn't work, pastebin the error as well as the output of this: apt-cache policy vim vim-common
[00:21] <Baughn> holyguyver: You really, REALLY don't want to keep using a disk that's this damaged. It always gets worse.
[00:21] <TrentH> I need detailed instructions on setting up a dialup connection.
[00:21] <walbert> cjae: I tend to leave that disabled.  iirc it's there for older microsoft os's.
[00:21] <johnnny> Flannel: reinstalling vim ? our the OS ?
[00:21] <johnnny> our = or
[00:21] <Flannel> johnnny: sudo apt-get vim
[00:21] <holyguyver> Alright, thank you :) I only plan on using it for 3 months before I get the money to replace it :)
[00:21] <TrentH> The link provided, isn't much on helping.
[00:21] <gnubuntu> johnnny: you have a depencency problem with vim-common. i guess cause of your dial up connection.
[00:21] <ro> cwillu, i understand that i did what he told me now i get the message bootmgr is missing to boot into windows
[00:22] <j_nw1> Flannel: Thanks for your help. Is it normal to have cdrom only repository.. or I chose some option during installation that might have made it so.
[00:22] <cwillu> ro, do you have a windows cd?
[00:22] <ty> could i make xfce as slow as gnome and it still look the same
[00:22] <ro> cwillu, no
[00:22] <Flannel> j_nw1: If during the install you didn't configure internet, then yeah, that's normal.
[00:22] <Baughn> holyguyver: At any rate, do you have a windows machine?
[00:22] <TrentH> Johnnny, can you tell me how you setup your dialup connection?
[00:22] <johnnny> Flannel: same message as earlier
[00:22] <thedeadliestwhis> I've got two hard drives installed on this system but its only locating my 80 GB hard drive. Any suggestions?
[00:22] <Baughn> holyguyver: A full scandisk run (w/ the disk surface check) should fix your disk, to the degree it's fixable.
[00:22] <yagga> holyguyver: if you have another box connect the particular drive and use dd to copy the sectors the use ptk to get the files off you will need anothe hdd but it wont cost 1600
[00:22] <johnnny> TrentH: why ?
[00:22] <cwillu> ro, have you ever made the recovery cd that windows offers to make when you first boot it up?
[00:22] <patmanpato> my ubuntu is dying half way through bootup all of a sudden this morning, is there a way to get rid of the boot splash and show the details of the bootup process ?
[00:22] <ro> yagga, when do i press f8 then fix mbr
[00:23] <Flannel> johnnny: Alright, and the output from the policy command/
[00:23] <lstarnes> ro: in the recovery disk
[00:23] <TrentH> Johnnny, Because I need to setup a dialup connection on this PC. So I can play games.
[00:23] <johnnny> .. 1 sec
[00:23] <j_nw1> Flannel: humm.. dont remember.. any option like that.. will be careful on my next install.. (or reinstall) Thanks again.
[00:23] <Baughn> patmanpato: Press alt-f1
[00:23] <yagga> ro, when it starts up f8 is safe boot
[00:23] <johnnny> TrentH: it's not a dialup
[00:23] <patmanpato> Baughn: thanks
[00:23] <Baughn> patmanpato: Or alt-f2 then alt-f1. Something like that.
[00:23] <ty> could i make xfce as slow as gnome and it still look the same
[00:23] <meoblast> uh oh
[00:23] <cjae> walbert: shouldn't sudo ifup eth0 work
[00:23] <meoblast> Ubuntu can't figure out how to use my CDRom drive
[00:23] <TrentH> johnnny, why did someone say it was your dialup connection then?
[00:23] <ro> cwillu, no i haven't but yagga says f8 then fix mbr hopefully that works
[00:23] <meoblast> what should i do
[00:23] <meoblast> i don't have a floppy drive
[00:23] <holyguyver> yagga there are not files on this drive at the moment that I need copies of & I do not have enough space elsewhere to do that.
[00:24] <holyguyver> Baughn, I do not have any windows machines.
[00:24] <meoblast> i think i need 8.10
[00:24] <johnnny> oh, i should try pinging google.com
[00:24] <ty> meoblast: i have a floppy drive you could borrow
[00:24] <ty> lol
[00:24] <RocketLauncher> Can someone tell me how to fix compiz from interfering with video playback (flickering, etc) without disabling compiz?
[00:24] <johnnny> Works
[00:24] <yagga> ro, that is "fixmbr"
[00:24] <johnnny> my net, seems to work
[00:24] <meoblast> ty: now i have to wait 3 hours to download 8.10
[00:24] <meoblast> AHH
[00:24] <ty> why?
[00:24] <Baughn> holyguyver: Even after resetting those sectors, the filesystem will be damaged, and linux does not have any tools to fix ntfs.
[00:24] <cjae> walbert: it says ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0
[00:24] <ty> meoblast, why?
[00:24] <cyphase> What do people use for desktop widgets, if you use them at all? Screenlets, Google Gadgets, or something else?
[00:24] <RocketLauncher> Can someone tell me how to fix compiz from interfering with video playback (flickering, etc) without disabling compiz?
[00:25] <ro> yagga, gotycha when the system starts up before i get which system to chose form hit f8
[00:25] <yagga> holyguyver: there are hdd 750gb or so for app $100
[00:25] <ty> try using xine instead of gstreamer. RocketLauncher
[00:25] <holyguyver> Baughn, as said earlier I do not exactly need the data on this drive, so if I reformat it to ext3 will all be fixed?
[00:25] <meoblast> ty: aparently 8.10 doesnt have SATA cd rom drivers
[00:25] <ty> totem-xine
[00:25] <gnubuntu> RocketLauncher: i now this problem. only way is to use no Xv!
[00:25] <ty> lol
[00:25] <Baughn> RocketLauncher: Get an nvidia card
[00:25] <patmanpato> dont you hate when that happens... alt 1/2 => display the boot process... now the system boots up fine :P
[00:25] <yagga> ro, yep
[00:25] <meoblast> ty: i mean 8.04
[00:25] <holyguyver> yagga I do not even have 5$
[00:25] <RocketLauncher> Baughn: OH YOU!
[00:25] <ty> compiz looks crisp on nvidia
[00:25] <Baughn> RocketLauncher: It requires DRI2, which isn'T out yet, or some hacks only the nvidia driver does
[00:25] <ty> could i make xfce as slow as gnome and it still look the same???????
[00:25] <cjae> walbert: seems like it is just not getting ip addy brb
[00:25] <biouser> !dbg
[00:25] <ro> yagga, do i need to change it in the ios
[00:26] <yagga> holyguyver: maybe the stimulus pakage will help
[00:26] <Baughn> RocketLauncher: Lacking either of those, you're out of luck.
[00:26] <johnnny> Flannel: http://pastebin.ca/1317489
[00:26] <TrentH> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkAdmin I do not have those settings on my version?
[00:26] <holyguyver> yagga the stimulas package won't be coming in today :p
[00:26] <lstarnes> ty: that's a very silly question.  If xfce were that slow and looked like gnome, then it wouldn't be xfce
[00:26] <Baughn> RocketLauncher: ..or you could not use compiz. It's just pointless eyecandy anyway.
[00:26] <yagga> ro, no when it starts to boot f8
[00:26] <cjae> do I have to remove a 56 k winsoft modem when installing ubuntu
[00:26] <ty> thats all i needed
[00:27] <TrentH> Err
[00:27] <ty> i was just seeing what kind of trouble i could get in for asking silly questions
[00:27] <ty> lol
[00:27] <ty> bye
[00:27] <cjae> lspci is showing my ethernet card that is not working
[00:27] <biouser> is it possible that some of my video and audio might run better in xfce or is that just wishful thinking?
[00:27] <johnnny> Flannel: the pastebin is : http://pastebin.ca/1317489   (if you missed the msg)
[00:27] <Finlay> Is there a good way to erase a read only .iso image from a usb key? neither rm  nore shred working on it, nor chmod chown.
[00:27] <thedeadliestwhis> I've got two hard drives but only one is detected. could someone help?
[00:27] <Flannel> johnnny: What have you done to previously install vim?  You downloaded a deb from somewhere? or what?
[00:27] <Baughn> biouser: Wishful thinking, but there /is/ a possibility that video works better without compiz.
[00:28] <Baughn> (Near certainty, in fact)
[00:28] <ro> yagga, will that add boot manager
[00:28] <johnnny> Flannel: it came with the 8.04 server edition install .
[00:28] <widea> Finlay: try with mc
[00:28] <gnubuntu> RocketLauncher: run gstreamer-properties and try change the video plugin to X window system (no Xv) that's work for me.
[00:28] <Caverus> Hi, I'm in my Sound Preferences and I'm trying to get the test sound to play for any device, but they keep returning errors on playback. "Could not get/set settings from/on resource." or "Could not open audio device for playback." or the like. Any suggestions?
[00:28] <johnnny> Flannel: i installed my machine 2 hours ago
[00:28] <yagga> ro, it will fix your mbr so windows will boot
[00:28] <unop> Finlay, what filesystem on the disk?
[00:28] <ro> yagga, when i hit f8 where do i go to fixmbr
[00:29] <ortsvorsteher> !sound | Caverus
[00:29] <Finlay> linpuslite
[00:29] <RocketLauncher> I dropped my slim jim :(
[00:29] <Fractured> wash it off
[00:29] <yagga> ro, it will be obvious you will type fixmbr
[00:29] <patmanpato> is there a way to permanently avoid the boot-splash and show the bootup sequence ?
[00:29] <ro> yagga,  ok easy enough
[00:30] <zax> ...
[00:30] <biouser> Baughn remove compiz with apt?
[00:30] <gnubuntu> johnnny: last tip from me.just sudo apt-get autoremove vim-common than apt-get install vim
[00:30] <Baughn> biouser: There's no need to remove it, just disable it.
[00:30] <Flannel> johnnny: Oh.... interesting.  It did.  It seems that the vim on 8.04.2 is newer than the one in the repos.  Which is whats causing this problem.
[00:30] <Baughn> biouser: ..though removing it will certainly work.
[00:31] <Flannel> johnnny: If you've got the CD still enabled, you'll want to remove it (although that policy says you don't).  sudo apt-get remove vim vim-tiny && sudo apt-get install vim
[00:31] <unop> patmanpato, remove the words, quiet and splash from the menu entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:31] <holyguyver> Baughn, As said I only intend on using it for three months & storing non-important data on it for that time, & then moving it off in April when I get a new harddrive, so I am looking for the things I can do to make it somewhat usable for that time being.
[00:31] <biouser> if ps ax |grep compiz returns nothing then I am not running compiz?
[00:32] <Baughn> holyguyver: Find a windows machine to run scandisk on
[00:32] <johnnny> Flannel: i'll try that, but in a couple of minutes :)
[00:32] <johnnny> thanks
[00:32] <holyguyver> Baughn, Alright, that will be my mother's windows vista which is a 15 miunte drive away
[00:32] <patmanpato> unop: thanks :)
[00:33] <oskar-> patmanpato:  remove it in the commented variants, as they are the drafts at next execution of update-grub
[00:33] <holyguyver> Baughn, I have not ran scandisk nor windows in 5 years. what do I do to activate scandisk, is it commandline?
[00:33] <DVA5912> Is their an apache development enviroment with php and mysql with it? Im just looking to build my site localy then publish. The site on my computer does need to be accessible through outside though...
[00:33] <biouser> what cruft can I remove to get the best chance of stable high-quality screencast recording?
[00:33] <Baughn> holyguyver: I have no idea. I haven't either.
[00:33] <Baughn> biouser: Compiz would be a good start
[00:34] <unop> !lamp > DVA5912
[00:34] <holyguyver> Baughn, as said, what if I wipe the drive, then do I have pureply gnu/linux salutions?
[00:34] <Baughn> holyguyver: Sure, that would work
[00:34] <DVA5912> unop, is that a single package?
[00:34] <holyguyver> Baughn, alright, tell me what I need to do?
[00:34] <Baughn> holyguyver: Wipe the drive, and the bad blocks will get remapped (hopefully). Switch to a linux-native FS, and it'll be better able to handle further errors.
[00:34] <unop> DVA5912, read the message ... it has instructions
[00:34] <patmanpato> oskar-: you mean remove it from the uncommented plus remove it from the comments above it? so on an update-grub my settings wont be overwritten ?
[00:34] <nwahsadude> Is there a way i can search for all other computers on the network?
[00:35] <Baughn> holyguyver: Eh. Copy off any data you want to keep, unmount the filesystem, then cat /dev/zero > <whatever device it's using> (as root).
[00:35] <biouser> sudo aptitude remove compiz and compiz is no more?
[00:35] <unop> DVA5912, as for getting your site to be accessible from the outside .. it depends on the type of network connection, router, etc .. and that's somewhat beyond the scope of this channel
[00:35] <holyguyver> Baughn, will wiping the drive be as easy as simply going into gparted & reformatting?
[00:35] <Baughn> holyguyver: Then you use fdisk to create a partition, and mke3fs to make a filesystem on said partition.
[00:35] <Baughn> holyguyver: No. A "reformat", in linux, just means recreating the filesystem; it doesn't touch every sector.
[00:36] <Baughn> holyguyver: Though it'd probably /work/, there could be un-remappable bad sectors still on the drive and you wouldn't know until it's too late.
[00:36] <Baughn> holyguyver: So you need the cat /dev/zero > device-file line; that's the wipe.
[00:36] <holyguyver> Baughn, can you tell me this in pms so that I have it all down?
[00:36] <MisterKM> Did anyone think of what I can do with my webcam? And please, no !webcam.
[00:37] <Baughn> holyguyver: Eh, sure.
[00:37] <alesan> MisterKM, I put one on my windows and there is a software that is activation-enabled
[00:37] <alesan> so I record all the hot chicks that walk by
[00:37] <Royall> How do I stop my mic from gettng major feedback
[00:37] <oskar-> patmanpato:  look for the string "BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST". the file should be self-documenting. the part between "End Default Options" and "END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST" will be overwritten by update-grub each time
[00:41] <trix> /irc.freenode.org/vbox
[00:41] <trix> Hi all,
[00:42] <trix> I need some help, I have a virtualbox running on ubuntu 8.10
[00:42] <trix> and I have maya 2009 installed there
[00:43] <pisecx> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109193/
[00:43] <pisecx> I thought linux can kill any process..
[00:44] <trix> every time I try to run Maya or install my license file, it crashes and gives me a guru meditation messeage
[00:44] <luke_> Izinucs, still here?
[00:45] <gonewestcoast> Pisecx: sudo the kill 9
[00:45] <Izinucs> luke_: still having issues?
[00:45] <pisecx> gonewestcoast: it was sudo
[00:45] <luke_> Izinucs,  yes sir, followed the instructions and got a black screen with writing then it froze
[00:45] <pisecx> gonewestcoast: it's very strange for me O_o
[00:45] <gnubuntu> trix: there is a linux version of maya why you dont install that version? much better than in vb
[00:45] <pisecx> gonewestcoast: I thought linux can kill anything
[00:46] <Izinucs> luke_: that was the first set of instructions or the second set that came in the link from ubottu?
[00:47] <unop> pisecx, that's a zombie process .. usually cannot be killed .. it's not taking up any resources - so you don't really have to worry about it
[00:47]  * johnnny 's in VI heaven now :)
[00:47] <_Vi_> johnnny: its fixed?
[00:47] <pisecx> unop: ok, thanks. why did this happened?
[00:47] <johnnny> _Vi_: yup
[00:47] <_Vi_> johnnny: what did you do to fix it?
[00:47] <johnnny> removed my vim-tiny from the distribution CD installation.. and installed "vim" from the web repository.
[00:47] <MisterKM> alesan: I've put it in, ran EasyCam2 here in Linux. It installed something, but it didn't work. I've researched it and the commands that were used gave me the result thats in the pastebin.
[00:48] <Huene`> could someone please point me to the right place for learning how to diagnose sound problems? a working configuration would work just fine
[00:48] <_Vi_> johnnny: lol i told you that long ago, but you didnt want to :P
[00:48] <redvamp128> which one vim-nox or just plain vim?
[00:48] <Dr_willis> johnnny,  i always install vim-full  :)
[00:48] <_Vi_> johnnny: anyways nice to see it works
[00:48] <unop> pisecx, the process that started this instance .. failed to wait for it to be 'reaped' .. read more about zombies here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process
[00:48] <johnnny> _Vi_: ya, but not the full one
[00:48] <johnnny> _Vi_: and ya.. you did, but apt-get fucked on me
[00:48] <pisecx> unop: thanks again
[00:48] <_Vi_> oh
[00:48] <unop> johnnny, no need for that language here
[00:48] <_Vi_> apt-get can do mean things at times
[00:49] <johnnny> _Vi_: didn't want to install it, because vim-tiny was conflicting with "vim" from the web-repo.
[00:49] <johnnny> _Vi_: and my vim-tiny was more Up to Date, than the web-repo.
[00:49] <johnnny> _Vi_, Flannel is the one that figured that part out
[00:50] <patmanpato> commenting out the  "quiet" in menu.lst  and removing quiet in the commented section above, isnt removing the splash screen, hrmph, am i missing something?
[00:50] <luke_> Izinucs,  That was the one from ubottu, the last one that you said just says warning: overwriting possibility-customized configureation file
[00:50] <johnnny> stupid vim-tiny :P  (sorry) hehe
[00:50] <Flannel> patmanpato: You only need to touch the stuff in the commented section, then save and do sudo update-grub
[00:50] <unop> patmanpato, did you remove 'splash'?
[00:50] <cjae_> what is wake by pme
[00:50] <Flynsarmy> I've lost the default bluetooth icon in the upper panel. How do i get it back? I installed gnome-bluetooth and went apps - accessories -bluetooth file sharing but that's a diff icon and i can't figure out how to connect to bluetooth devices
[00:50] <_Vi_> johnnny: heh Flannel is good, theres no doubt there
[00:51] <Izinucs> luke_: are you relaying all this to your friend that's actually doing all the work? in a different location?
[00:51] <johnnny> :)
[00:51] <luke_> Izinucs,  he's sistting right next too me
[00:51] <johnnny> your all .. all good :)
[00:51] <johnnny> xcept me
[00:51] <Izinucs> luke_: close enough :)
[00:51] <Huene`> ok well since no one is sure, would it be safe for me to uninstall Pulse, Alsa, OSS and anything else that I see as being sound related and install Alsa?
[00:51] <redvamp128> johnnny:  I didn't even think about vim-tiny  == thought because it was a server with no gui that vim-nox was the package you needed.
[00:52] <johnnny> redvamp128: vim simply did it :)
[00:52] <johnnny> short a simple and seems light
[00:52] <patmanpato> unop: woops, didnt see the 'splash' , trying that now
[00:52] <Izinucs> luke_: you may be having this issue because you either have 1> a crt monitor that doesn't output esid info 2> a flatscreen hooked up with a vga connector instead of a dvi connector 3> something just couldn't be configured because of a lack of info
[00:53] <_Vi_> VI/M/Gvim is light, i donno bout simple, its very advanced johnnny
[00:53] <Izinucs> luke_: you might need to install the nvidia driver manually. hang on and I'll find the right one.
[00:53] <luke_> Izinucs,  it's a laptop, I think it's lcd
[00:53] <johnnny> _Vi_: i know i know :P
[00:54] <Royall> #ubuntu: How do I stop the feedback of my mic? I'm on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, my mic is built in to my monitor
[00:54] <johnnny> and whats with vim-nox ?  (better syntax highlighting ?)
[00:54] <Izinucs> luke_: that would make sense.. they can be finicky sometimes.
[00:55] <johnnny> redvamp128 seems to want to push it on me :P  should i install vim-nox instead of vim ?
[00:55] <patmanpato> unop: thanks for the help, works now :)
[00:56] <rdw200169> johnnny, you could take a shot at pida: pida.co.uk
[00:56] <rdw200169> johnnny, it's Vim + GUI, easier (some would say) than gvim
[00:56] <johnnny> rdw200169: i'm not in X !! (console only)
[00:56] <redvamp128> johnnny:  I only suggested that earlier because you said it was a server install -- with command line only and vim didn't want to install - you said in the pastebin that it was missing dependencies-
[00:56] <rdw200169> johnnny, vim is, not pida
[00:56] <Izinucs> luke_: ok.. open a terminal (applications>accessories>terminal) and type ... sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 .. it may install a total of 3 packages .. watch .. if it only installs one let me know.
[00:57] <johnnny> redvamp128: so now that "vim" works, should i still have a look at "vim-nox" ? :)
[00:57] <Izinucs> luke_: if it says that package isn't available let me know.
[00:58] <redvamp128> johnnny:  if vim is working now then leave it alone--
[00:58] <johnnny> redvamp128: k :)
[00:58] <Chaorain> Is There a way to run "sudo compiz" at startup?
[00:58] <jscinoz> Hi
[00:58] <luke_> Izinucs, theres a bunch oof lines beginning with "failed to fetch"
[00:58] <rdw200169> Chaorain, you don't want to run it as root
[00:58] <jscinoz> I'm running pulseaudio systemwide, but it still starts per user, how do i disable pulseaudio startup from each user's session?
[00:58] <Izinucs> luke_: ok.. does the laptop have an active internet connection?
[00:58] <Chaorain> I have to otherwise it wont run at all
[00:59] <whompapotamus> anyone in here familiar with bridging a connection from ubuntu to an xbox
[00:59] <rdw200169> Chaorain, then there's a big problem!
[00:59] <whompapotamus> ?
[00:59] <luke_> Izinucs, yes
[00:59] <Chaorain> any clue how to fix?
[00:59] <rdw200169> whompapotamus, you're just piggybacking internet from a linux computer, i.e. internet connection sharing, right?
[01:00] <Izinucs> luke_: ok .. just hit the up arrow in the terminal and that last command will appear again.. however before hitting enter change the 180 to a 177
[01:00] <luke_> Izinucs, same thing
[01:00] <luke_> Izinucs, if it helps any this computer is a year old
[01:01] <Izinucs> luke_: shouldn't make a difference.. which version of ubuntu did you install?
[01:01] <jsfoxton> hi ppl
[01:01] <DVA5912> Ok so i have lamp installed now whats the best way to edit my website?
[01:01] <luke_> Izinucs, EEEbuntu
[01:01] <luke_> Izinucs, its a mod from 8.10
[01:01] <Izinucs> luke_: arg.. for the netbook?
[01:01] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: there's not really a "best" way to do it, what works for you?
[01:01] <jsfoxton> i have installed wine and office but excel never runs....does anyone have any suggestions on how to get excel running?
[01:01] <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
[01:02] <DVA5912> gordonjcp: i just want to be able to upload or copy files to the /var/www directory
[01:02] <eljaco> hi, I have a Dell PowerEdge 400SC server that I use as my desktop and am running ubuntu 8.10 on it. It was running fine and well until I just added some new RAM and a wireless card (used to be connected straight to router.) Now X freezes on me after a few seconds - I can't even log in to gnome
[01:02] <Chaorain> My vista laptop can't read my samba shares any help?
[01:02] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: yup
[01:02] <Izinucs> luke_: can you get to System>Admin>Synaptic package manager?
[01:02] <luke_> Izinucs, yes thats what its for, he doesnt havea netbook but I do and  used that version and it gave me my internet drivers, so he used it too for the drivers since Ubuntu was too hard to get working drivers with
[01:02] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: cp thing /var/www
[01:02] <DVA5912> gordonjcp: i have to do that everytime i want to move files?
[01:03] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: you might want sudo cp thing /var/www if it's not owned by you (and it probably isn't)
[01:03] <luke_> Izinucs, hes in it
[01:03] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: there are lots of ways to do it
[01:03] <meoblast001> hi
[01:03] <meoblast001> nvidia drivers broke my system
[01:03] <meoblast001> what do i do
[01:03] <heatmzzr> i am trying to play a streaming mms file, totem opens and it shows streaming but i dont hear anything
[01:03] <DVA5912> gordonjcp: what would i need to install to got ftp
[01:03] <Izinucs> luke_: hit the search button and search for nvidia-glx
[01:03] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: don't use ftp

[01:04] <Dante123> First dwl900ap is access point upstairs.  What do I config the second one to be?  Access Point Client, wireless bridge point to point, or wb point to multipoint?  I'm thinking Access Point Client....so internet from upstairs AP is shared with downstairs ones and any nintendos that hook up to i.  Look at http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee359/RacerWhy5/wifidiagram2.jpg
[01:04] <mnguyen> I'm currently using openbox as my WM. How do I get conky to autostart when I create a new session?
[01:04] <BlackBatMan> i have two desktops connected through a router to a high-speed modem
[01:04] <redvamp128> jsfoxton:  that is a link to the wine database with helpful hints to get programs running under wine
[01:04] <Huene`> can I remove Alsa without removing things that are barely related (like gnome-panel) I do still want to have an OS during this attempt to reinstall sound
[01:04] <luke_> Izinucs, its showing nvidia-glx-96
[01:04] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: basically if anyone wants me to install an FTP server I immediately quote them £750 plus an additional £200 per month
[01:04] <BlackBatMan> i want to transfer data from linux to my windows machine
[01:04] <Izinucs> luke_: that's it?
[01:04] <Chaorain> Is this the right place to ask about ubuntu samba?
[01:05] <KujiUn> How do you add a wireless network?
[01:05] <johnnny> whats a system usergroup ? ... no shell access simply ?
[01:05] <BlackBatMan> i can just think about rdesktop but know nothing else to transfer data effectively
[01:05] <gordonjcp> DVA5912: this usually puts them off, which is of course the intended effect
[01:05] <redvamp128> jsfoxton:  you can also try asking in channel #winehq
[01:05] <BlackBatMan> anybody?
[01:05] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: for copying files?
[01:05] <luke_> Izinucs, it shows a bunch of other stuff but none of it is nvidia
[01:05] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: you could use Samba on the linux machine
[01:05] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp transfer a file from linux to windows...yup
[01:06] <newb101> whats i program i can use to sync videos to an ipod video?
[01:06] <Izinucs> luke_: is this system using the regular ubuntu repo's or one that is designed only for the eeepc
[01:06] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp, i'll look that up, thanks
[01:06] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: just "a file" - only one - or many many files?
[01:06] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: if it's just one you could probably do something with scp
[01:06] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp either way
[01:06] <luke_> Izinucs, whats the repos
[01:06] <gordonjcp> well, that would work for lots
[01:06] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp either way
[01:06] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: but Samba would actually let it show up as a windows share
[01:06] <eljaco> BlackBatMan: go to the folder you want to share and click on "Sharing options"
[01:06] <gordonjcp> which is probably what you want, eh
[01:07] <Chaorain> I just get an error when my Vista laptop tries to read my Ubuntu Samba shares but not my knoppix shares
[01:07] <Izinucs> luke_: that's what synaptic looks at for programs/drivers etc that are available for download.
[01:07] <BlackBatMan> eljaco, you made it a bit complicated
[01:07] <eljaco> BlackBatMan: right-clicking on a folder is complicated?
[01:07] <Izinucs> luke_: in synaptic go to Settings>Repositories
[01:08] <luke_> Izinucs, it is the eeeubuntu that we installed if that answers it...
[01:08] <KujiUn> Excuse me, but how do you add a wireless network?
[01:08] <BlackBatMan> lol :)
[01:08] <luke_> Izinucs, He says its showing 71,173, and 177 now
[01:08] <Izinucs> luke_: suddenly? or did he do something different?
[01:08] <balzac> Hello
[01:08] <wolter> how do i install the python 2.6 in ubuntu intrepid? is there some repository i can add?
[01:08] <eljaco> KujiUn: do you have network-manager installed?
[01:08] <Flynsarmy> I think i've made a bluetooth connection with my phone. how do i transfer files to and from it?
[01:09] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp how does jamba basically work?
[01:09] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: in what sense?
[01:09] <luke_> Izinucs, he clicked the 96 aand then mark for installation and he tried to install and it said failed then showed the others
[01:09] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp made to simply transfer files?
[01:09] <Izinucs> luke_: nice.. have him install the 177
[01:09] <balzac> I have a custom version of Ubuntu with a kernel for my netbook. I want to add general Ubuntu Intrepid repositories without putting my special kernel at risk for being updated to the default kernel.
[01:10] <balzac> What should I add to my sources so I get all the apps but no new kernel updates?
[01:10] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: well lets you set up something that will appear as a share on your Windows network
[01:10] <BlackBatMan> BlackBatMan, it looks difficult to even  install, i'm not a good computer guy
[01:10] <luke_> Izinucs, failed to fetch
[01:10] <Izinucs> luke_: after that's been done.. and it should also install nvidia-settings.. you'll need to log out, and reboot.. don't ctrl+alt+backspace
[01:10] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: <shrug>
[01:10] <BlackBatMan> oh
[01:10] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp mmmm
[01:10] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: I haven't used it for years, and I don't really know much about Windows
[01:10] <KujiUn> eljaco: Is it already included in Ubuntu?
[01:11] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: I know there's loads of stuff about it in the ubuntu forums
[01:11] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp thank you gordon
[01:11] <eljaco> KujiUn: it should be - do you see two little computers on the panel? Or something resembling a network?
[01:12] <Izinucs> luke_: check Settings/repositories and see what's in there
[01:12] <antiver> meoblast001 repair xorg.conf at bootup (not 100% sure, i'm a noob, but it's what i would try first)
[01:12] <eljaco> KujiUn: better yet, go to System > Preferences > Network Configuration
[01:12] <luke_> Izinucs, turns out there was a problem with internet, 177 is downloading
[01:12] <fiasco> I have a fat32 external hard drive that I wan't to be to store 4GB+ files on. Do I have to convert the format. Will Ubuntu still be able to read and write to it if its NFTS?
[01:12] <Izinucs> luke_: you were making me wonder there for a while.
[01:12] <fiasco> wan't => want
[01:12] <eljaco> KujiUn: should be pretty simple after that
[01:13] <dean> My windows antivirus tries to scan my ubuntu partition and it goes into a loop trying to process the symlinks.
[01:13] <dean> Should I just disable checking the Linux partition?
[01:13] <SlimeyPete> yes
[01:13] <Izinucs> fiasco: yes to the ntfs question.. but why not use ext3
[01:13] <balzac> what intrepid repository should I add so I can get emacs without automatic kernel updates? I have an eee pc with a special kernel which is why I can't just use the regular repositories.
[01:13] <KujiUn> eljaco: There wasn't an option for wireless.
[01:13] <fiasco> Izinucs: whats the advantage?
[01:14] <Izinucs> dean: yes.. configure so it doesn't touch the linux partition
[01:14] <Flynsarmy> Whats a GUI i can use for transferring files over bluetooth?
[01:14] <balzac> I want emacs, gimp, and all the regular apps, but no kernel updates. help meh.
[01:14] <dean> balzac: use apt pinning
[01:14] <dean> fiasco
[01:14] <fiasco> dean: no real need to scan a linux parition for viruses aye
[01:14] <balzac> dean, thanks
[01:14] <balzac> I'll look it up
[01:15] <dean> thanks
[01:15] <Izinucs> fiasco: ext3 is native to ubuntu and can be read by windows with a 3rd party driver. it journaled like ntfs so it's much harder to loose info. also it's able to handle 4gig files easier.. I would question ntfs for that
[01:15] <KujiUn> eljaco: This is what I have: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/360940/terminal_stuff.txt
[01:16] <eljaco> KujiUn: see if this helps: http://www.linux.com/feature/56946
[01:16] <tank__> i installe ubuntu on one of my hard drives (with vista on another), but not grub won't let me boot up vista. does anyone know how i can fix that?
[01:16] <johnnny> Lets say i want to create a user/usergroup that will be running a deamon. I'll probably also want a homedir for that user to contain the deamon application.  What type of user should i do ?
[01:17] <fiasco> Izinucs: so to use ext3 on windows, windows needs a 3rd party driver?, is this easy enough to do? Also, so you have a tut handy on converting hardisks from FAT32 to ex3?
[01:17] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp i installed samba with the Synaptic Package Manager
[01:17] <fiasco> ext3 that is :)
[01:17]  * fiasco googles
[01:17] <BlackBatMan> gordonjcp what is the command to run it? do have any idea?
[01:17] <johnnny> Is it a system user that I'd need ?
[01:17] <dean> fiasco: this is the driver: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd
[01:17] <bobbob1016> I'm running Mythbuntu 8.10, with an nVidia 8200 on the mobo and the proprietary drivers.  I'm getting a text login, and can't start the gui, /etc/init.d/gdm restart seems to work, says restarting ok, but nothing happens, any ideas?
[01:17] <DasEi> ﻿fiasco: quite simple, google ext2tonfs
[01:17] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: check the forums, I haven't used it in a long long time and I've forgotten
[01:17] <BlackBatMan> command to run samba anyone?
[01:17] <fiasco> dean: thats
[01:18] <dean> fiasco: this one also works but it is not open source http://www.fs-driver.org/
[01:18] <Izinucs> fiasco: sudo apt-get install gparted .. do this in a terminal.. then look in System>Admin>Partition manager .. that will allow you to reformat it to ext3
[01:18] <gordonjcp> BlackBatMan: it's a server, it's not something you run like a program
[01:18] <johnnny> BlackBatMan: /etc/init.d/samba start ?
[01:18] <DasEi> ﻿fiasco: quite simple, google ext2tnfs, sry
[01:18] <fiasco> thanks*
[01:18] <johnnny> BlackBatMan:  or /etc/init.d/smb start !?
[01:19] <johnnny> BlackBatMan: your config files are probably in the /etc/samba/ folder.
[01:19] <Izinucs> luke_: update?
[01:19] <fiasco> thanks alot guys. heaps of help you all are :)
[01:19] <DasEi> johnnny: samba start
[01:19] <johnnny> oh, even simpler :P
[01:19] <johnnny> i dig to much sometimes
[01:19] <eljaco> can anyone help me figure out what is wrong with my X server? it starts up, but I can't use my mouse or keyboard
[01:19] <DasEi> johnnny: eerm, /etc/init.d/samba start
[01:19] <BlackBatMan> johnnny you want to work through this quickly and briefly?
[01:19] <Izinucs> luke_: did he put this on a standard laptop?
[01:19] <johnnny> Oh
[01:19] <johnnny> ok ok
[01:20] <dean> eljaco: can you try upgrading
[01:20] <BlackBatMan> johnnny i don't know how to configure files
[01:20] <johnnny> DasEi:  just staying which one :)
[01:20] <fiasco> Izinucs: does my harddisk ned to be clean? will I lose the data on it?
[01:20] <eljaco> dean: upgrading to what? do you mean apt-get upgrade?
[01:20] <dean> eljaco: yes
[01:20] <Gerinych> does anyone use bitpim here?
[01:20] <Izinucs> fiasco: you will loose all all the data if you format it.
[01:20] <johnnny> BlackBatMan: i have noooooooooo clue how to do the setup of the samba configuration files ;)
[01:20] <jscinoz> I'm running pulseaudio systemwide, but it still starts per user, how do i disable pulseaudio startup from each user's session?
[01:21] <BlackBatMan> johnnny my issue is basically having to transfer a file from linux to a windows machine
[01:21] <eljaco> dean: well, I just installed a new wireless card, so I don't have a connection
[01:21] <johnnny> BlackBatMan: I SCP in the machine..
[01:21] <BlackBatMan> johnnny understood
[01:21] <BlackBatMan> SCP?
[01:21] <johnnny> BlackBatMan: i use WinSCP...
[01:21] <eljaco> dean: it says there is nothing upgradable when I run apt-get upgrade
[01:21] <johnnny> BlackBatMan: try downloading it on your winbox, and login to your server as you would via ssh.
[01:22] <DasEi> johnnny: it's /etc/samba/smb.conf, but tell if I disturb you, may also type !samba in the channel
[01:22] <johnnnny> DasEi: it's for BlackBatMan :)
[01:23] <dean> eljaco: the keyboard and the mouse don't work or is it just the mouse
[01:23] <DasEi> johnnny: ah, alright, got it wrong then :)
[01:23] <johnnnny> on my side, i think i'll do a system user :oS
[01:23] <johnnnny> but i'm not sure if it's what i need.
[01:23] <BlackBatMan> johnnny basic steps ? ..... download/install into my windows machine?
[01:23] <heatmzzr> anyone know what i have to get to play mms streams on my ubuntu
[01:23] <eljaco> dean: both keyboard and mouse - but I can hit ctrl+alt+F1 and go to the terminal session
[01:23] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: very simple..get the Installer version :)
[01:24] <Chaorain> Can someone help my vista laptop see my Ubuntu samba shares?
[01:24] <eljaco> dean: aside from switching sessions, I can't do anything else
[01:24] <Royall> I'm on Linux Kernel 2.6.27-11-generic. My wireless card (built in to my Dell Inspiron laptop) is not being recognized. I've installed ndiswrapper.
[01:24] <Royall> Still nothing.
[01:24] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: download this: http://winscp.net/download/winscp418setup.exe
[01:24] <Royall> What should I do next after installing it?
[01:24] <Royall> Does it need a reboot?
[01:24] <DasEi> Chaorain: samba up and running ? no firewalls blocking ?
[01:24] <tank__> i installed ubuntu on one of my hard drives (with vista on the other) and now i can't boot windows, does anyone know how to fix this?
[01:24] <n8tuser> Royall -> is the ON/OFF switch into the ON position?
[01:25] <eljaco> dean: in case it's related, I get a "User Switcher" error when I start X, although when I start normally (not in recovery mode) I can't even type anything in the login screen
[01:25] <Royall> I'm going to assume that wasn't a joke, and say that the wireless card is turned on.
[01:25] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: thats the windows installer of WinSCP (a FTP, SFTP, SCP, .. client)
[01:25] <jscinoz> I'm running pulseaudio systemwide, but it still starts per user, how do i disable pulseaudio startup from each user's session?
[01:25] <ceil420> anyone use SCIM and know how to stop it from 'exiting abnormally'? http://rafb.net/p/TMAIWP95.html
[01:25] <dean> dean: it might be that gdm is started before HAL
[01:26] <dean> sorry s/dean/eljaco/g
[01:26] <johnnnny> dean talking to himself again ?
[01:26] <Chaorain> DasEi, I can't tell if Samba is running but my firewall is disabled
[01:26] <heatmzzr> anyone know what i have to get to play mms streams on my ubuntu????
[01:26] <eljaco> dean: haha - ok, is there a way I can check that?
[01:26] <KujiUn> I got this, but I can't seem to get my wireless network: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/360940/terminal_stuff.txt
[01:26] <dean> eljaco: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove && sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults 99 01
[01:26] <Chaorain> DasEi, Vista sees ubuntu but can't read any folders
[01:26] <n8tuser> Royall -> what does sudo ndiswrapper -l     shows?
[01:26] <DasEi> Chaorain:sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart   or look with htop
[01:26] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: how's that going ? :)
[01:27] <Royall> ls: cannot access /etc/ndiswrapper: No such file or directory
[01:27] <dean> eljaco: well you could restart gdm through ssh
[01:27] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: or you could try to get your Samba service to work :P
[01:27] <n8tuser> !who | Royall
[01:27] <DasEi> Chaorain:configured /etc/samba/smb.conf ?
[01:27] <BlackBatMan> johnnny download process through rdesktop
[01:27] <johnnnny> k
[01:27] <Royall> n8tuser: 'ls: cannot access /etc/ndiswrapper: No such file or directory'
[01:27] <dean> eljaco: by doing /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[01:27] <Chaorain> DasEi, htop not installed. Let me check smb.conf
[01:27] <dean> eljaco: i think it needs sudo
[01:27] <eljaco> dean: i did that, but i still can't type anything or move the mouse
[01:28] <n8tuser> Royall -> look for your ndiswrapper,
[01:28] <BlackBatMan> johnnny i have two interfaces, which do you recommend for my task?
[01:28] <eljaco> dean: the cursor is blinking though, so I assume it's not frozen
[01:28] <Royall> n8tuser: where would I look for it and how would I know if I've found it
[01:28] <dean> eljaco: is it a USB or ps2 mouse and what kind of mouse is it
[01:28] <BlackBatMan> johnnny i see mmmmm, norton commander interface and explorer-like interface
[01:28] <eljaco> dean:both are USB

[01:30] <BlackBatMan> :)

[01:30] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: create a "NEW" connection
[01:30] <kerlo> Why would a network interface that shows up in ifconfig -a not show up in Network Tools?
[01:30] <meoblast> hello

[01:31] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: let me know if you manage to go threw the process of createing a new connection, saving it, and connecting to your linux machine.
[01:31] <meoblast> i don't know what package contains the

[01:32] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: you don't have a "New" button on the top right ?
[01:32] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i don't know how to fill this up either
[01:32] <johnnnny> Oh
[01:32] <BlackBatMan> :(
[01:32] <n2diy> gnome-panel is using 50% of my memory, when I kill it it, it respawns, what is the parent process?
[01:32] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: Do you have a user account on your linux box ?
[01:32] <sudobash> hey with avant windows manager doing the OSX dock it shows like a list of blank boxes
[01:32] <n8tuser> kerlo -> if you learned the command line to configure such, it would greatly help
[01:32] <BlackBatMan> i have my own and probably two more user accounts
[01:32] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: do you know the IP of that box ?
[01:32] <sudobash> right over the trash icon
[01:33] <kerlo> That's probably true.
[01:33] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny no
[01:33] <harley> can someone help me
[01:33] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: uh
[01:33] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: is this on your home network ?
[01:33] <sycho> SO I just instaled 8.10 x64 and after enabling the ATI drivers my xorg went screwy. I am now prompted to login by terminal and when I try to run 'startx' I get the error "no screens found". I've tried replacing xorg.conf and trying to fix it but neither has not helped. I've also ran all updates using "apt-get upgrade". I've also tried using "X -configure" but also exits with an error. Any ideas on how to fix this or at least "remove" t
[01:33] <harley> I accidently right clicked one of my icons and clicked "remove from panel"
[01:33] <harley> how do I bring it back?
[01:33] <Dr_willis> right click on the panel.. add applets to panel
[01:33] <kerlo> I'll see what happens when I set the ssid and encryption type and key and ifup it.
[01:33] <fwaokda> I can't get ubuntu to notice my wireless card can someone try and help me? I have a RTL8187SE wireless card in my msi wind u100-420.
[01:34] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny these two computers are connected to the same router
[01:34] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: can you type "ifconfig" on a shell on your linux and find your IP ?
[01:34] <jrib> sycho: how did you install the ati drivers?
[01:34] <IndyGunFreak> !realtek | fwaokda
[01:34] <n8tuser> sycho -> umm try the livecd and copy the xorg.conf that works from the livecd ?
[01:35] <sycho> jrib: When I first entered gnome ubuntu said they where available to download and enable, the little hardware icon in the top right corner.
[01:35] <n8tuser> !wireless | fwaokda   start reading this please and then once you read we can discuss ..
[01:35] <harley> Dr_willis: It's not in the list. It was Emesene (instant messenger) that docks in the tray, but now when it docks I can't see it
[01:35] <fwaokda> IndyGunFreak, seems thats for the b and not SE :(
[01:35] <Dr_willis> harley,  could be the program itself runs and adds an icon to the systray
[01:35] <IndyGunFreak> fwaokda: then you're probably gonna have to use the powers of google, i've not heard of SE
[01:35] <luke_> Isn't there a more user friendly Linux distro then Ubuntu?
[01:35] <luke_> One with a lot less terminal use, downloads, etc?
[01:35] <Dr_willis> harley,  check the program settings perhaps. Ive never used that one.
[01:35] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: lmao.. how could that be possible?
[01:36] <lifenova> luke_: matter of opinion...
[01:36] <luke_> How couldn't it? :p
[01:36] <_Vi_> not possible
[01:36] <kerlo> luke_: I believe Ubuntu is generally considered the most user-friendly.
[01:36] <n8tuser> luke_ -> what is your purpose?
[01:36] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: still following ?
[01:36] <harley> Dr_willis: it's something to do with removing it from panel, because now it isn't showing when it should
[01:36] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: what are you having a problem with, ubuntu is by far the most newb friendly distro
[01:36] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny .... i'll show you the ouput in a sec
[01:36] <luke_> Well like with Ubuntu I had trroble getting wireless drivers
[01:36] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: i'm sure you can find the IP in there yourself !:)
[01:36] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i see no ip
[01:36] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: you'll have that problem w/ any distro.. did you get it workin
[01:36] <johnnnny> oh
[01:36] <luke_> So I used EEEbuntu, which I had for my netbook
[01:36] <n8tuser> luke_ -> just my preference.. suse
[01:36] <johnnnny> Use a USB key instead ? Lol
[01:37] <luke_> But thats made for netbooks, so I might have problems with that
[01:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !eee > luke_
[01:37] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: use a USB key instead maybe ?
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: you've still not stated your problem, did you nnot get yuour wireless working w/ normal ubuntu?
[01:37] <fwaokda> n8tuser: unless im missing something you sent me a pretty general link with alot of information on the wireless in ubuntu. Do I really need to read all of that for you to be able to help me?
[01:37] <DasEi> Chaorain:  can also look at http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-samba-server-on-ubuntu/
[01:37] <luke_> Thanks Jack, I got it on my netbook
[01:37] <Dr_willis> luke_,  i had some issues ith using eeebuntu on a normal desktop machine.. but the thing did install a normal  Kernel also. Youmay want to boot it with that. via editing the menu.lst
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: i have a normal ubuntu running on my eee, no problem at all.
[01:37] <n2diy> gnome-panel is using 50% of my memory, when I kill it it, it respawns, what is the parent process, or how do I ID it?
[01:37] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny yup i got it
[01:37] <Jack_Sparrow> luke_ Are you running eee-ubuntu or regular ubuntu..
[01:37] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: show me your output in a pastebin,  and i'll see.. but maybe you have no network connection working on your machine ?
[01:37] <luke_> I couldn't get the wireless drivers
[01:38] <harley> Dr_willis: I just checked program options, nothing in there
[01:38] <n8tuser> fwaokda -> its a start for you, get the gist out from it, so you get an idea how to troubleshoot it yourself if we were not here
[01:38] <sycho> jrib: Any ideas?
[01:38] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: well if the eee is working out of the box, then you have the AR242x, right?
[01:38] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: so you got the IP ?
[01:38] <DasEi> n2diy: try top or htop to see what does this
[01:38] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i have it but i don't know if it's safe to send it to you
[01:38] <johnnnny> DOnT!
[01:38] <luke_> Weell I just instaled EEEbuntu on my desktop and it apparently doesnt have the drivers for my internet like it did on my netbook and my friends laptop
[01:38] <johnnnny> i don't want it
[01:38] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny ok
[01:38] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: DOn't send it, i want you to know it! :)
[01:38] <BlackBatMan> ok
[01:39] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: and now in windows... In WinSCP, in the Host name: you type your IP
[01:39] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: Username: and Password: i think you know what those are too!
[01:39] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: what exactly are you trying to get working, your eee, or are you trying to get a normal ubuntu install on your eee, or did you put ubuntu eee on a non-eee pc?
[01:39] <n2diy> DasEi: I am running top, but I haven't tried killing it with top, let me try that.
[01:39] <luke_> Third one.  I got the first one working.
[01:39] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: and than, you can <Save> or  simply <Login> and try !:)
[01:39] <johnnnny> than = then
[01:40] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: ok.... so you put ubuntu eee, on a non-ee PC.. just want to make sure i followl.
[01:40] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, right, hoping it would have the proper wireless drivers like it did for my friends non eee laptop
[01:40] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: ok, did it?
[01:40] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, nope
[01:40] <MisterKM> Hey all, can someone PM me to help me with a webcam?
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: well whats your wireless device you can't get working
[01:41] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny Error "Network error: Connection refused
[01:41] <johnnnny> hummm
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> !webcam | MisterKM
[01:41] <MisterKM> I've already done that Indy.
[01:41] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny "OK" "Reconnect" "Help"
[01:41] <johnnnny> OK
[01:41] <BlackBatMan> johnnnn windows firewall?
[01:41] <luke_> IndyGunFreak,  wmp54gs
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: that tells me nothing.. what chipset was it.
[01:41] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: probably not windows firewall
[01:42] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, chipset?
[01:42] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: did you open OpenSSH ?
[01:42] <Nikyo> Hi
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> MisterKM: wel, then you'er probably screwed...lol, webcam support isn't very good in Linux
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: atheros, intel, broadcom, realtek?
[01:42] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i have here "file protocol /???
[01:42] <harley> does anybody here use an instant messenger client?
[01:42] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny and allow scp fallback
[01:42] <Nikyo> yep Pidgin
[01:42] <IndyGunFreak> harley: for IRC?
[01:42] <harley> anything
[01:42] <harley> well the problem is
[01:42] <DasEi> ﻿ harley: pidgin, yes
[01:42] <harley> mine isn't showing in tray anymore
[01:43] <harley> how do I bring it back?
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> harley: i use a messenger client, but definitely not for IRC.
[01:43] <lifenova> harley: yep, pidgin
[01:43] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: i usually don't touch anything...
[01:43] <DasEi> ﻿ harley: pidgin, yes
[01:43] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny mmhmm ok
[01:43] <lifenova> harley: like a launcher?
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> harley: you probably accidentally deleted notification area on your panel.. add it back.
[01:43] <DasEi> ﻿ harley: which one do you use ?
[01:43] <MisterKM> Indy, I tried some info on the help site, its not coming up as the detected information, what came up is this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109177/
[01:43] <harley> not a launcher
[01:43] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: 1 sec
[01:43] <harley> IndyGunFreak: how do I bring it back?
[01:43] <redvamp128> harley:  try adding back the notification area to your panels
[01:43] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, linksys
[01:43] <harley> I need the notification icon, not launcher
[01:43] <harley> how?
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> harley: right click your panel, add to panel, add notification area
[01:43] <lifenova> harley: Right click the pannel, press add, and scroll to notification area
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: if yuou won't answer a question, i'm not gonna try to help you.
[01:44] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, I thought I just did
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: was linksys in that lis t i gave you?
[01:44] <harley> thank you Indy and lifenova.
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> thats a device manufacturer, i asked you for the chipset.
[01:44] <harley> and redvamp
[01:44] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, I had to pull it out of my case.  I dont know, dont have the list anymore
[01:44] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: if you type (in linux) :  ps -A | grep sshd           do you get anything listed ?
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> luke_:  are you on it right now?
[01:44] <harley> DasEi: I'm using Emesene
[01:45] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: and, can you technically remote access your linux box ? (Did you install the OpenSSH server)?
[01:45] <luke_> IndyGunFreak,  let me put it back in and run lspci
[01:45] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[01:45] <DasEi> ﻿ harley: .. and got your answer as I read
[01:45] <KujiUn> Is there a way to export Wubi stuff into a brand new Ubuntu?
[01:45] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny no output for ps -A | grep sshd
[01:45] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, would it be broadcom?
[01:45] <Chaorain> DasEi, I went through the site tutorial but how do I start samba?
[01:45] <johnnnny> Aaah
[01:46] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny if i knew i would have known
[01:46] <johnnnny> Guys, how do you get a a ssh server going on a machine that doesn't have it installed (it seems)
[01:46] <BlackBatMan> ... the openssh
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: it could be, but broadcom could be your regular ethernet port to... does the broadcom say its a wireless device?
[01:46] <DasEi> Chaorain:  /etc/init.d/samba/(re-)start
[01:46] <johnnnny> hope someone answers :P
[01:46] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, wireless lan controller
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: then thats it.. ..
[01:46] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny ok, thnks for trying
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> !broadcom | luke_
[01:47] <johnnnny> probably something like: apt-get install openSSH       but...
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: and to my knowledge, i don't think broadcom works out fo the box w/ any distro, could be wrong though
[01:47] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i'll try sypnatic manager
[01:47] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: once you get that sshd thing installed.... you'll be able to remote-access your linux box with a windows client like Putty
[01:48] <johnnnny> !openssh
[01:48] <DasEi> IndyGunFreak: xp not, too
[01:48] <IndyGunFreak> DasEi: is that right?.. thats surprising
[01:48] <Chaorain> DasEi, I did sudo /etc/init.d/samba start but vista can't read. restarting vista.
[01:48] <s1ma0> hi all
[01:49] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i have a couple of similar results.... I have a 320 gig hard drive, should i just install all of it?
[01:49] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: ya, the synaptic manager should help you
[01:49] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny ok
[01:49] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: not necessarely..
[01:49] <DasEi> Chaorain:  you made the share browseable, you chowned a dir to the samba user (that exists on the ubu-pc) ?
[01:49] <SirFunk> hi... is there a way in APT to protect certain packages (aka. make sure they get pulled from a speciffic repo and not overwritten by anything else)?
[01:49] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i don't know which one to install
[01:49] <johnnnny> you just want the SSH Deamon basically..  (BUT WAIT)
[01:49] <BlackBatMan> ok
[01:50] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: somebody that knows needs to tell you which one exactly :)
[01:50] <johnnnny> patience :P
[01:50] <hec_> hello, can someone help me to activate my atheros wlan card in a acer laptop aspire 3680?
[01:50] <johnnnny> it might be all of what you found, but i can't tell
[01:50] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, I think i  have the driver, move to flash drive and put it on Ubuntu?
[01:50] <Chaorain> I own the directory and I made me a samba user
[01:50] <jtaji> BlackBatMan: openssh-server
[01:51] <johnnnny> thanks :)
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: i honestly don't mess w/ broadcom much, i've been fortunate and have always had atheros, which i've always gotten to work w/ little fuss
[01:51] <DasEi> Chaorain: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[01:51] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: u got that!? :)
[01:51] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, but is that what you'd reccommend I'd do?
[01:51] <s1ma0> who can i install playonlinux ?
[01:51] <BlackBatMan> jtaji johnnnny ok thanks
[01:51] <DasEi> Chaorain: pastebinit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> luke_: i'd recommend youf ollow the instructions in that link i gave you...
[01:51] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny yup
[01:51] <DasEi> Chaorain: url from last cmd?
[01:51] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: get this Windows Tool too!!: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
[01:52] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: PuTTY
[01:52] <BlackBatMan> mmm
[01:52] <Chaorain> DasEi, http://pastebin.com/f351b8cef
[01:52] <johnnnny> doesn't look safe of a site, but it's official !:)
[01:52] <BlackBatMan> it crashed
[01:52] <BlackBatMan>  i need to kill a process i think

[01:52] <BlackBatMan> ...yup
[01:53] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: let it run...
[01:53]  * lyricnz is loooong time redhat user, installing his first ubuntu server (in a VM, for an appliance application).  
[01:53] <DVA5912> I have php and apache installed but im not about to run php files. What command can i use to make php part of the apache config
[01:53] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: don't kill if it's still workng :)
[01:53] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: it might be fetching stuff from the web..
[01:53] <Rencx> !laptop
[01:53] <lyricnz> Does anyone have a pre-made kick start file, for a minimal install - or do I have to install ubuntu first, then run the kickstart generator tool?
[01:53] <balzac> Hello again
[01:54] <Dr_willis> lyricnz,  check out the ubuntu 'JEOS' edition - for a minimal ubuntu setup
[01:54] <meoblast> what program can i use to monitor  my CPU temperature?
[01:54] <con-man> how do I select a different audio device
[01:54] <con-man> I did it on the sound menu
[01:54] <lyricnz> Dr_willis: thanks  (googles)
[01:54] <con-man> nothing change
[01:54] <con-man> do I need to stop and start a service?
[01:54] <n8tuser> lyricnz -> if am not mistaken something akin to kickstart is debian-installer or d-i  for short
[01:54] <balzac> I'm trying to get emacs through aptitude, but I have this ubuntu-derivative for netbooks
[01:54] <Dr_willis> lyricnz,  its like some ultraminimal ubuntu for 'appliances' and stuff if i recall
[01:55] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i just checked openssh-server, but it seems to be doing something
[01:55] <Dr_willis> balzac,  eeebuntu here lets me install everything i can on a normal ubuntu install.
[01:55] <LEX_WELL> I cannot compile c programs
[01:55] <Flannel> jeOS is designed for virtualization, not netbooks.
[01:55] <balzac> Dr_willis: is it intrepid?
[01:55] <BlackBatMan> must be dependicy hell
[01:55]  * lyricnz is building a linux-based VM to act as a testing-slave for large-scale automated testing.
[01:55] <DasEi> Chaorain:you havent set up a share
[01:55] <LEX_WELL> can anybody help me
[01:55] <lyricnz> I've been using fedora/redhat forever, but it's minimal install....aint
[01:55] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: it should tell you what the dependencies are, I think.
[01:55] <BlackBatMan> ?
[01:55] <Royall> n8tuser: I installed the correct driver onto ndiswrapper
[01:55] <BlackBatMan> i'm locked
[01:56] <Royall> But there's still no connection
[01:56] <Dr_willis> LEX_WELL,  FAQ - :) install build-essential package. for the C compiler stuff
[01:56] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: great :(
[01:56] <lyricnz> I looked at centos/rhel, but ubuntu might be a nice change ;)
[01:56] <BlackBatMan> i'll try the terminal
[01:56] <n8tuser> Royall -> are you sure you have ndiswrapper installed?  try  ndiswrapper -l
[01:56] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: hummm... right :)
[01:56] <Chaorain2> DasEi, if you said anything I missed it. IRC hung
[01:56] <pyro2927> can can I open a split archive? I'm trying to open a set of .rar, .00, .01...... and so on with archive manager but it doesnt work
[01:56] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: your good for that .. ? :)
[01:56] <Royall> n8tuser: I tried it, it showed my driver name thing... 'bcmwl6 : driver installed	device (14E4:4315) present (alternate driver: wl)'
[01:57] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny i see progress
[01:57] <johnnnny> :)
[01:57] <BlackBatMan> johnnnny done
[01:57] <n8tuser> Royall -> can you post the results of  ifconfig ;  iwconfig;  route -n;  cat /etc/resolv.conf  and cat /etc/network/interfaces
[01:57] <Dr_willis> pyro2927,  i just 'unrar e whatever.r00.rar  or whatever the first one is
[01:57] <DasEi> Chaorain2:you havent set up a share nor made your home-directories readable
[01:57] <DVA5912> I have php and apache installed but im not about to run php files. What command can i use to make php part of the apache config
[01:57] <Royall> n8tuser: I'm using Wicd to configure the network. I have ndiswrapper selected as the driver there
[01:57] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: great :)
[01:57] <johnnnny> now..
[01:57] <BlackBatMan> a;slkjfa;df :)
[01:57] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: did you get Putty too ?
[01:57] <johnnnny> (for windows)
[01:58] <Chaorain2> dasEi, oops um. How do?
[01:58] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: or just try WinSCP again :)
[01:58] <DasEi> Chaorain2:you want a specific share dir or browse the home folders ?
[01:58] <pyro2927> Dr_ willis, apparently i didnt have the unrar package installed. ha
[01:58] <lyricnz> Dr_willis: joes is actually built into the standard server install now (press F4 at first screen, and select install a minimal virtual machine)
[01:58] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan: i should actually ask you to do : ps -A | grep sshd        before, to not waste time.
[01:59] <con-man> how do I select a different audio device
[01:59] <con-man> I did it on the sound menu
[01:59] <con-man> nothing change
[01:59] <con-man> do I need to stop and start a service?
[01:59] <BlackBatMan> ok
[01:59] <FloodBot2> con-man: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:00] <luke_> IndyGunFreak, I transferred this file the guyy has for the driver to my computer, he says to open these 2 files which are .sh or enter the text into terminal, shouldn't it pull up as terminal insteaad of a text file then?
[02:00] <johnnnny> BlackBatMan:  whatever it suggests! :)
[02:00] <DVA5912> I have php and apache installed but im not about to run php files. What command can i use to make php part of the apache config. Like a mod probe or something modprobe-php5 i dont know the exact code

[02:19] <kerlo> "Alguem pode me dar" closely resembles Spanish. I imagine it's Portuguese or something similar.
[02:19] <DasEi> joljam: ﻿ubottu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)

[02:23] <El> what is wrong arcutecture i136?
[02:24] <rdw200169> El, the only drawback to i386 is the RAM limitation to 4Gig

wont let me install adobe flash or crossover
[02:25] <DasEi> Chaorain2:was a bad idea, as you hve to write to it still, sudo chmod 777 /dir/whatever
[02:25] <_Vi_> El type rdw and press tab
[02:25] <bliZZardz> unop: ﻿ i have removed sendmail-but it still shows up during boot and hogs time.

[02:28] <bliZZardz> unop: i dont have a /etc/rc.d !
[02:28] <Dr_willis> EL if you are using 64bit  you need 64bit packages
[02:28] <bliZZardz> unop: have /etc/rc.local instead
[02:28] <bliZZardz> unop: is that a problem?
 im not using a 64 bit prossesor im using an intel centrino duo
[02:29] <joljam> can anyone send me the xorg.conf file used for a laptop with a Planar LCD monitor attached
[02:29] <unop> bliZZardz, what's /etc/rc.d got to do with anything here?  and it's not a debian/ubuntu directory .. and that's normal.
[02:29] <gerber> help with remote destop
[02:29] <baseballer790[Np> Shut up
[02:29] <Dr_willis> el that is a 64bit cpu..  i think.. what version/bit of ubuntu did you install? 32 or 64bit?
[02:29] <bliZZardz> unop: ok.let me restart now
[02:29] <unop> baseballer790[Np, what's that for?
[02:29] <Chaorain2> DasEi, I think we are going after the wrong problem. Vista says it can't access DAN-DESKTOP (my ubuntu computer)
[02:29] <baseballer790[Np> Shut up nigger
[02:30] <_Vi_> !ohmy
[02:30] <unop> !ops baseballer790[Np
[02:30] <unop> !ops

[02:30] <baseballer790[Np> !ops
[02:30] <Cpudan80> Guys
[02:31] <Cpudan80> For your information, the ops command makes a loud, annoying noise on the ops computer
[02:31] <Cpudan80> Please use it only in real emergencies
[02:31] <rdw200169> El, on a i386 version of ubuntu?
 i think 32 i just installed using a wubi installer
[02:31] <Royall_> n8tuser: Every time I boot, it doesn't recognize the card, and then when I deactivate and then reactivate the Broadcom STA driver, it does after that
[02:32] <unop> Cpudan80, that's understandable but that behaviour we just saw is intolerable as per the CoC right?
[02:32] <DasEi> Chaorain2:you don't get a login screen ?
 i dont think so it shows when i wanna install pacages
[02:32] <Chaorain2> DasEi, nope
[02:32] <kerlo> Cpudan80: what constitutes a real emergency?
[02:32] <jimisrvrox> hey guys I put ubuntu 8.10 live on my usb via unetbootin and I have a 8GB usb drive but it took up almost the entire drive when the file is only 700mb so is there a program that I can use to repartition the usb drive so I can put other stuff on there?
[02:32] <Cpudan80> Well
[02:32] <Cpudan80> That was probably an ok time to use it
[02:32] <Cpudan80> but only use it once
[02:32] <Cpudan80> unless nobody comes around
[02:32] <DasEi> Chaorain2:sudo ufw disable             ,try again
[02:32]  * kerlo nods
[02:32] <n8tuser> Royall ->  you still have not confirmed for me the results of  ndiwrapper -l
[02:33] <_Vi_> jimisrvrox: try gparted
[02:33] <n8tuser> Royall -> can you post the results of  ifconfig ;  iwconfig;  route -n;  cat /etc/resolv.conf  and cat /etc/network/interfaces
[02:33] <unop> Cpudan80, my mistake .. didn't realize the first call went through .. though ubottu complained
[02:33] <Dr_willis> el -  i dont use wubi so  no idea on that.. rephrase/restate/clarify your excat problem to the whole channel - perhaps someone knos more on the topic then i do
[02:33] <Keeganator> Problem: I formatted a partition to NTFS in ubuntu and windows install wont pick it up.
[02:33] <Royall_> n8tuser: I did though. Here it is again:
[02:33] <Royall_> bcmwl6 : driver installed
[02:33] <Royall_> 	device (14E4:4315) present (alternate driver: wl)
[02:33] <El> rdw200169> wait yes its non ubuntu 8.10
[02:33] <n8tuser> !who | Royall
[02:34] <Cpudan80> unop: yes - you need to do the thing on its own line or do [command] | person
[02:34] <Chaorain2> DasEi, it said "Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup" still no logon screen
 n8tuser: I did though. Here it is again:
[02:34] <rdw200169> El, no, i mean, which architecture version of ubuntu did you install?
[02:34] <Royall_> Do you want me to pastebin two lines?
[02:34] <n8tuser> Royall -> you must put my nick in the front for me to see the highlighted ones..
 8.10
[02:34] <unop> Cpudan80, yes yes .. i know.  it was a typo
[02:34] <Cpudan80> np
[02:34] <Dr_willis> rdw200169,  perhaps a 'uname -a' or 'lsb_release -a' will help. :)
[02:35] <Royall_> n8tuser: bcmwl6 : driver installed	device (14E4:4315) present (alternate driver: wl)
[02:35] <Keeganator> help I formatted a partition to NTFS in ubuntu and windows install wont pick it up.
[02:35] <Dr_willis> el 8.10 is a 'release' that comes in 32 and 64bit versions.
[02:35] <rdw200169> Dr_willis, don't tell me, tell him!
[02:35] <albech> how do i force tar to extract an archive 'flat' so not use directory information?
[02:35] <n8tuser> Royall -> can you post the results of  ifconfig ;  iwconfig;  route -n;  cat /etc/resolv.conf  and cat /etc/network/interfaces
 im pretty sure its a 32 bit
[02:36] <DasEi> click on ubuntu machine again ?
[02:36] <Dr_willis> el  and whats the actual original problem then?
[02:36] <Drewgrange> i'm trying to install virtualbox but can't seem to find it in synaptic.. it's supposed to be in the default repositories isn't it?
[02:36] <DasEi> click on ubuntu machine again ?(from vista) Chaorain
[02:36] <Dr_willis> el look at the output of       uname -a
[02:36] <maxxist> keeganator will windows not even see the partition?  cause you should reformat the partition with windows installer.
[02:36] <_Vi_> Drewgrange: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[02:36] <Chaorain2> DasEi, same error
[02:36] <n8tuser> Royall -> did it ever associate with AP?
 it just wont let me install practaces
[02:36] <Royall_> n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m25b4ebf
[02:37] <Keeganator> maxxist: Windows just see the harddrive as one big unknown partition
[02:37] <Royall_> n8tuser: I don't know if it has
[02:37] <Dr_willis> el clarify that statement please.
[02:37] <Keeganator> so I cant format just one bit
[02:37] <Keeganator> Or I'll kill ubuntu
[02:37] <_generic_> hey im making a shell script to install some programs anyway i cant make it select 'y' to confirm each install
[02:37] <Spherous> For some reason my ubuntu partition is exremely quiet..  If I boot into Windows 7, I can play my music REALLY loud, but in linux, I have to turn my speakers allllll the way up and its still quiet.  I have the volume thing turned up all the way....
[02:37] <maxxist> keeganator and it was supposedly paritioned a couple times?
[02:37] <Dr_willis> Keeganator,  windows likes to ask to format Ext2/3 partitions sadly.. gotta watch out for that.
[02:37] <Mez> _generic_: --yes
[02:37] <Dr_willis> _generic_,   use the TAB key  to get to the Yes.. then hit enter
[02:38] <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?
[02:38] <n8tuser> Royall ->  how did the eth1 got its ip address?
[02:38] <Keeganator> It's formatted to a NTFS partition right now, it was fat32 earlier
[02:38] <_generic_> so it would be sudo apt-get install prog --yes?
[02:38] <Keeganator> but windows wont see it
 i tried to install adobe flash and it started to install when the installed came up ith an error saying "error: wrong architecture i386" and would let me install the package
[02:39] <Mez> _generic_: yes
[02:39] <Royall_> n8tuser: I don't know, how would I tell
[02:39] <unop> _generic_,  read -p "perform operation? y/n " yn; if [[ $yn = [yY] ]]; then echo yes; fi
[02:39] <_generic_> thanks Mez
[02:39] <_generic_> peace
[02:39] <maxxist> keeganator ok what is existing on the drive now?
[02:39] <Dr_willis> el and how did you try to install it?  the medibuntu repos have that program.  for 32 and 64bit versions
[02:39] <Keeganator> nothing
[02:39] <Spherous> For some reason my ubuntu partition is exremely quiet..  If I boot into Windows 7, I can play my music REALLY loud, but in linux, I have to turn my speakers allllll the way up and its still quiet.  I have the volume thing turned up all the way....
[02:39] <maxxist> keeganator and do you want to dual boot?
[02:39] <ozzloy> i can't play sound through youtube.  but i do get sound through the sound config test.  how do i make youtube videos have sound again?
[02:39] <Keeganator> yea
[02:39] <n8tuser> Royall -> please read what you posted,
[02:40] <unop> _generic_, i might have misinterpreted your question ... nevermind my post
 well i just clicked the instal flash when i went on youtube i just clicked .deb for linux 8.04 +
[02:40] <_generic_> unop: whats the -p argument on read do?
[02:40] <sellyoursoul> anyone know a good windows irc channel?  i have linux installed, looking to dual boot with xp, but i have some windows questions.
[02:40] <Dr_willis> el thats the TOTALLY WRONG way to install it. :)
[02:40] <unop> _generic_, print a prompt
[02:40] <unop> _generic_, try it out, you'll see what it does
[02:40] <Dr_willis> el use the package manaeger tool. Not the  'browser says click here' method
[02:40] <DasEi> Chaorain2:I#m not sure about vista, in xp there is an option add network place, that make samba coming up, but you should be able to browse it, too ... same network ?(ip's ??) same workgroup ??
[02:40] <Cpudan80> sellyoursoul: ##windows
[02:40] <maxxist> keeganator well if windows sees the drive.  then make a partition with windows installer the size of the windows partition you want.  and save some space for linux.
[02:41] <_generic_> Nice thx that handy for reducing writing!
 im totaly new to linux can u elaborate
[02:41] <Keeganator> ok thanks
[02:41] <alihan> TURKÝSH
[02:41] <Royall> n8tuser: I'm looking under eth1, I see 'Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:22:69:32:05:f9 ', so I'm saying Ethernet? I don't know what I'm looking for
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> Dr_willis: i always use the .deb from adobe.com...  dont think i've ever used synaptic.
[02:41] <Dr_willis> el 'sudo apt-get install acroread'
[02:41] <n8tuser> Royall ->  have you done any tutorials on how to setup networking with ubuntu?
[02:41] <Dr_willis> IndyGunFreak,  i always enable medibintu i think :)
[02:41] <Dr_willis> IndyGunFreak,  it seems to have downloaded the wrong one for him in this case
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> Dr_willis: oh for acroread.. thought we were talking flash.. yes, for acroread, add medibuntu, and use it.
[02:41] <_Vi_> albech: im wondering if this might work.. i got this from the 'man tar' page:  --recursive-unlink remove existing directories before extracting directories of the same name
[02:41] <Royall> n8tuser: I haven't...written any, but I read the tutorial of using ndiswrapper, which I did
[02:42] <ozzloy> how do i find out why youtube sound isn't working?
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> Dr_willis:  of course, the easier thing to do, is just use evince
[02:42] <thenetmonkey9250> anyone have experience running xen on jaunty?
[02:42] <n8tuser> Royall -> what are you trying to achieve again?
[02:42] <DasEi> Chaorain2:well ip's should match, if ubuntu is seen though
[02:42] <Chaorain2> DasEi, Its in the same workgroup
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> El: why don't you just use evince?.. its already part of your install
[02:43] <Spherous> For some reason my ubuntu partition is exremely quiet..  If I boot into Windows 7, I can play my music REALLY loud, but in linux, I have to turn my speakers allllll the way up and its still quiet.  I have the volume thing turned up all the way....
[02:43] <kerlo> Is it fine to repeat a question so often, and if so, how often should I limit myself to?
[02:43] <El> dr_willis isn't working?

[02:43] <Chaorain2> DasEi, I can't check it with XP as that one is dual booting ubuntu
[02:43] <Royall> n8tuser: I can connect to the internet using my builtin wireless card, but only after deactivating my Broadcom STA driver and then reactivating it, so there must be something wrong
[02:43] <IndyGunFreak> El: you're trying to install acrobat reader?
[02:43] <linuxman410> if windows is running in virtual box
[02:43] <Royall> n8tuser: I'd need to do this every boot
 no idea what ur talking bout
[02:43] <albech> _Vi_ I believe that will remove target directories before extracting files
[02:43] <Royall> n8tuser: I'm trying to get it working normally
[02:44] <n8tuser> Royall ->  the guide regarding ndiswrapper mentioned anything about making it permanent?
[02:44] <thenetmonkey9250> can anyone suggest a channel I can go to and get help with xen on jaunty?
[02:44] <IndyGunFreak> El: ok, i thought Dr_willis was helping you..
[02:44] <linuxman410> if windows is running in virtual box cam=n it still get virus
[02:44] <IndyGunFreak> thenetmonkey9250: ubuntu+1
[02:44] <Dr_willis> el oops im confused. You need flash. :) not acrobat reader.
[02:44] <lstarnes> linuxman410: yes
[02:44] <albech> _Vi_ it doesn't extract the whole archive into just one folder
[02:44] <linuxman410> wow
[02:44] <Dr_willis> el 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras'
[02:44] <exodus_ms> IndyGunFreak: I think he said he 'clicked on the .deb for flash at the youtube site'
[02:44] <thenetmonkey9250> indygunfreak: thanks
[02:44] <jpedroza> I have a WG311v3 that will show networks, but not connect
[02:44] <IndyGunFreak> Dr_willis: lol, well then ack to the matter at hand, i always use the .deb from adobe.com
[02:44] <Royall> n8tuser: I'll look
[02:44] <albech> _Vi_ it could also be that I should create the archive as 'flat' and not address this in the extraction process
[02:45] <jpedroza> ndiswrapper loads correctly, but no connections
 nonono its adobe flash so i can watch utube
[02:45] <Dr_willis> IndyGunFreak,  and ive never had to. :)
[02:45] <lstarnes> linuxman410: but the virus can't affect the host machine if the virys is a windoes virus and the host is running something other than windows
[02:45] <lstarnes> *virus

[02:45] <lstarnes> *windows
[02:45] <Dr_willis> ubuntu-restricted-extras grabs flash, and some fonts, and java i think   - you proberly want them all
[02:45] <IndyGunFreak> El: just download the .deb file from adobe.com, and double click it.. it should work fine
 no dive sais its missing a pacage
[02:45] <n8tuser> jpedroza -> what have you done to associate or troubleshoot?
[02:45] <Spherous> For some reason my ubuntu partition is exremely quiet..  If I boot into Windows 7, I can play my music REALLY loud, but in linux, I have to turn my speakers allllll the way up and its still quiet.  I have the volume thing turned up all the way....
[02:45] <Mez> Dr_willis: and a lot of codecs
[02:45] <jpedroza> n8tuser: I am not sure where to look.
[02:46] <n8tuser> !ndiswrapper | jpedroza read this please
[02:47] <Royall> n8tuser: it has instructions concerning making it permament when using nm-applet, but I'm using wicd, should it make a difference?
[02:47] <El> dr_ willis: also i have the pro versoin of crossover so i can use microsoft office 07 and that wont install either
[02:47] <n8tuser> Royall -> shouldnt, its ndiswrapper command wasnt it?
[02:47] <Royall> n8tuser: It shows editing the /etc/modules to load the module on startup
[02:47] <jpedroza> n8tuser: Ndiswrapper is loaded fine, and I can see networks, but not associate. Is there a log file for wireless network?
[02:48] <DasEi> Chaorain2:I have no idea on vista, but may check guest account and http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?ForumId=45&TopicId=8284
[02:48] <gdad2_> what version of the ubuntu 8.10 install should I use for an Atom-equipped MSI WInd desktop machine?  I tried the amd64 version and got a dramatic message about kernel panic.  I suspect that's not going to work for an Intel chip.
[02:48] <n8tuser> Royall -> that should not depend on wicd or nm then
[02:48] <johnnnny> how should i proceed at starting a program in my service scripts ? I used to use "runuser"
[02:48] <Royall> n8tuser: ok, I'll try it anyways
 ok it sais configuring java somthing and ok at the bottom how do i click ok?
[02:48] <n8tuser> jpedroza -> sudo dhclient wlan0
[02:48] <Dr_willis> el i never use crossover office.. so no idea on that.  the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' should install flash and java and codecs that yoiu will want eventually
[02:48] <Dr_willis> el hit the TAB key
[02:48]  * Dr_willis thinks that Java install package needs to TELL peopel to hit the TAB KEY to get to 'ok'
[02:49] <Dr_willis> i still ownder why java has that eula thing.. :) but i guessits the lawyers
 great thanks for all the help maby ill just get used to open office sence theres no way to use microsoft office
[02:49] <joljam> can anyone help me with xorg.conf
[02:49] <jpedroza> n8tuser: No good. It isn't associating with the AP, so no traffic is passing
[02:50] <Mez> Dr_willis: you have to accept the licence to use it
[02:50] <Mez> that's part of the licence terms
[02:50] <johnnnny> can anyone help me to fun a program as another user ? (in my init.d scripts)
[02:50] <marine> boot manager is missing after converting ext 3 to nfts
[02:50] <n8tuser> jpedroza ->  can you post the results of  ifconfig ;  iwconfig;  route -n;  cat /etc/resolv.conf  and cat /etc/network/interfaces and sudo lshw -C network
[02:50] <johnnnny> fun = get
[02:50] <johnnnny> oups fun = run
[02:51] <Mez> johnnnny: sudo -u user program
[02:51] <exodus_ms> Mez: yeah, I think that is understood, just wondering why there is a need for an agreement
[02:51] <DasEi> marine: is your fstab based on blkid ?
[02:51] <johnnnny> k
[02:51] <johnnnny> will try
[02:51] <Mez> exodus_ms: blame sun
[02:51] <marine> DasEi, what is that
[02:51] <Octoroks> hello, anyone know anyhthing about truecyrpt, is there a way to un-encyript something you encrypted?
[02:51] <marine> what command
[02:51] <Dr_willis> Mez,  so the whole 'we are going to GPL java' was a sham? ;)
[02:51] <marine> DasEi, what command
[02:52] <marine> DasEi, that is on the windows side
[02:52] <jpedroza> n8tuser: no net access on that box, what are you looking for specifically?
[02:52] <aron> hi,who can tell me how to use a static DNS server?I am using ADSL and every time the ISP provides me their DNS server address,but I want to use openDNS.
[02:52] <Mez> the version that you're running is not GPL. afaik
[02:52] <DasEi> marine: your partitions are identified by /dev/blabla   or by a number (blkid), the last will fail after a convert
[02:52] <n8tuser> jpedroza -> i have give you a list, you certainly can make accomodation to copy them by hand or put them on a usb?
[02:52] <Dr_willis> Mez,  shows that i never read that EULA :)
[02:53] <n8tuser> jpedroza -> i have given* you a list, you certainly can make accomodation to copy them by hand or put them on a usb?
[02:53] <DasEi> marine: did you install first ubuntu and then windows ?
[02:53] <faileas> Dr_willis: no one actually reads EULAs ;p
[02:53] <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?
[02:53] <jrib> Ketrel: use root's crontab
[02:53] <marine> DasEi, no i installed linux on windows hence the prolem when trying to merge on gparted
[02:53] <faileas> hmm, this the right place to ask a wubi question?
[02:54] <Mez> Dr_willis: http://java.com/en/download/license.jsp
[02:54] <DasEi> marine:wubi ?
[02:54] <marine> DasEi, what is wubi
[02:54] <fwaokda> i installed a deb package by double clicking it and now i want to uninstall it but cant seem to do it how can i do this i tried apt-get remove but it says the package doesnt exist
[02:54] <jrib> fwaokda: use the right name
[02:55] <redvamp128> !wubi | marine
[02:55] <DasEi> marine:wubi is a way to install ubuntu inside win like a prog
[02:55] <faileas> DasEi: naw, i was wondering how wubi would react to being installed onto a FAT32 drive
[02:55] <Ketrel> jrib: is that doable as a command, of do I have to use something like su?
[02:55] <marine> DasEi,  my boot manager is missing now i can't boot back into windows
[02:55] <fwaokda> jrib, how can i find out the right name i thought i was using the right name
[02:55] <Burky> yeaaaahhhh mon
[02:55] <jrib> Ketrel: sudo crontab -e
[02:55] <ozzloy> i killed and restarted pulseaudio, but amarok still says device is busy.  how do i find out what's using my sound device?
[02:55] <faileas> marine: you need to reinstall grub i think
[02:55] <marine> ok how is that doen
[02:56] <fwaokda> jrib, nevermind i was using the filename and not the actual name
[02:56] <rww> faileas: Considering that FAT32 partitions can't have files larger than 4GB on them, I'd guess "not very well"
[02:56] <marine> faileas, how is that done or how do we checkto see if it's loaded
[02:56] <Mez> !mbr | marine
[02:56] <Chaorain2> Is there a way other than samba to let vista manage ubuntu files?
[02:56] <Chaorain2> Including transfers
[02:56] <DasEi> marine:but can still boot ubuntu, so more a win question; you can restore win-loader with the win-install cd
[02:56] <faileas> rww: precisely. i'd like to get ubuntu on a netbook, but i want to be able to remove the linux install easily if need be
[02:57] <rastaval> im a newbie with ubuntu. my friend just gave me a disk copy of it. now, im trying to install in my pc and im now stuck with "busyBox v1.1..3" Can i ask help from someone else here what command should i do first?
[02:57] <marine> DasEi, which i don't have
[02:57] <Ketrel> jrib: thanks, am I right in assuming then that it runs at specified times and not specified intervals?
[02:57] <DasEi> marine: ask in ##windows
[02:58] <rastaval> im a newbie with ubuntu. my friend just gave me a disk copy of it. now, im trying to install
[02:58] <rastaval> in my pc and im now stuck with "busyBox v1.1..3" Can i ask help from someone else here what command should i do first?
[02:58] <faileas> Chaorain2: on the same box?
[02:58] <joljam> how do you restart xorg.conf from command line
[02:58] <jrib> Ketrel:  I don't understand the difference.  Can you be more specific as to what you mean?
[02:58] <faileas> rastaval: it should go further, sounds like there's some issue with the install disk
[02:58] <DasEi> joljam: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:58] <Chaorain2> faileas, no over a lan connection
[02:58] <AndreasMadrid> will the new alsa be included in next ubuntu update?
[02:58] <Ketrel> nvm, I think I understand
[02:59] <faileas> Chaorain2: FTP, winscp+ssh...
[02:59] <Ketrel> though I do have to ask, is the spacing important or is one space enough?
[02:59] <rastaval> faileas: you mean, what i have encountered now is not a normal on installation process?
[02:59] <marine> DasEi,  everything was working fine i tried to remove the remaining harddrive space for my windows side and use it for linux ut was having trouble because windows was indentified as ext3 not nfts
[02:59] <jrib> Ketrel: any whitespace is fine
[02:59] <noordam> Marine: You can also reinstall the windows boot loader if you have FDISK with FDISK/MBR.
[02:59] <faileas> rastaval: no, it isn't
[02:59] <Chaorain2> faileas, what is the program for ubuntu?
[03:00] <rastaval> faileas: so what seemed to be the problem and how would i avoid of falling into this?
[03:00] <marine> noordam, is that the original cd ecause id it is that i don't have anymore
[03:01] <DasEi> marine:what says an : sudo fdisk -l ?
[03:01] <faileas> rastaval: 'best' way IMO is to order a cd from canonical. its free.
[03:01] <Omikane> How do I create more profiles for FF? I deleted all of mine... :( It just keeps saying that FF is already running.
[03:01] <DasEi> Chaorain2: oh, yes, and install ext2tnfs  on vista
[03:01] <cdenny> im a noob, how can i find irc chat room for tomshardware
[03:02] <marine> DasEi, sudo: fdisk-l: command not found
[03:02] <cdenny> or computer
[03:02] <wolter> allquixotic, hi
[03:02] <rastaval> faileas: can i ask details on how to contact them? you may pm me.. thanks
[03:02] <DasEi> marine:what says an :                                   sudo fdisk -l ?
[03:02] <faileas> DasEi: most of the windows based EXT3 ifses are borked cause of inode size ;p. you need to mattwu one
[03:02] <cdenny> this is the only room i know how to get in which is why im asking here
[03:02] <allquixotic> hi wolter
[03:02] <noordam> Marine: it should be on any old windows boot disk.
[03:02] <Ketrel> jrib: this syntax right for running every half hour '30 * * * * fortune | tee /etc/motd'
[03:02] <faileas> rastaval: one moment, i get you the lonk
[03:02] <wolter> allquixotic, i ran the sysprof again and a binary named whiptail is causing the stall
[03:02] <marine> DasEi, Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
[03:02] <marine> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders

[03:02] <jrib> faileas: yes
[03:02] <wolter> allquixotic, what is whiptail anyway?
[03:03] <faileas> marine: dude, pastebin
[03:03] <DasEi> faileas: I can only speak for xp, never had a problem there
[03:03] <Chaorain2> DasEi, you mean ext2ntfs? for samba?
[03:03] <alihan> this system know speakyweb ?
[03:03] <DasEi> marine: fil esystem ?
[03:03] <DaveW> does anyone know how to program in ML?
[03:03] <alphae> this system know speakyweb ?
[03:03] <marine> DasEi, how can i locate
[03:03] <faileas> DasEi: ext3ifs from fsdriver won't work, the mattwu one will
[03:03] <allquixotic> wolter: I honestly don't know - I haven't heard of whiptail
[03:04] <allquixotic> wolter `man whiptail`
[03:04] <cdenny> is there a program that searches for rooms
[03:04] <DasEi> marine:use paste.ubuntu.com for long posts;  it's reecognized as ntfs, as you can see
[03:04] <faileas> cdenny: /list would but you do not want to use it on freenode
[03:04]  * Darksmurf just wants everyone to know that blueman is awsome...
[03:05] <allquixotic> cdenny: /list has too many channels on freenode; the best way is to simply guess the chat channels you'd like to be involved in, and if no one is there, just leave those channels and try again
[03:05] <faileas> rastaval: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu look for 'request a cd' ;)
[03:05] <faileas> it takes a few weeks
[03:05] <marine> DasEi,  that's becuse i chnaged it before now i boot into windows to see if everything is ok an that side i get the message bootmgr is missing
[03:05] <cdenny> faileas: im looking for a chatrooom about computer hardware cause I need to fix my cooling system
[03:05] <rastaval> thank you faileas
[03:05] <wolter> allquixotic, well, it appears it is a dialog shower.. but also, my cpu is stuck at 100% all the time!
[03:05] <rww> cdenny: ##hardware
[03:06] <faileas> cdenny: ##hardware ;)
[03:06] <allquixotic> wolter: All the time?! That's different from before
[03:06] <Chaorain2> DasEi, what is ext2ntfs?
[03:06] <cdenny> aw thanks
[03:06] <wolter> allquixotic, CPU1 is normal, but CPU2 is 100% permanently now!
[03:06] <Chaorain2> DasEi, I can't find it
[03:06] <allquixotic> wolter: That's.. bad.. whiptail is a dialog displaying script
[03:07] <rambo298> any recommendations for an ftp client that has a decent gui??
[03:07] <rikkimaru> Is there a repository I can add so that I can install a more recent (2.0+) version of Amarok?
[03:07] <alphae> free speakyweb ?
[03:08] <faileas> rikkimaru: i think nightly neon
[03:08] <linuxman410> my keyboard starting beeping with every letter i type how do i turn it off
[03:08] <meoblast> how do i override architecture in apt?
[03:08] <meoblast> i want to install the 32-bit version of something as well as its 64-bit version
[03:08] <famous> does anyone have a recommendation for a program that provides a virtual drive? i want to mount an iso...
[03:09] <wolter> allquixotic, yeah.. i am sampling again because my cpus are working too damn hard for what i am using them... xfire + firefox + gediit+ gnome-terminal (idle) + nautilus (idle)
[03:09] <rww> rikkimaru: See "Install Instructions" on http://www.kubuntu.org/news/amarok-2.0.1.1
[03:09] <marine> DasEi,  yes i still oot ubuntu with no problem but after changing my ext 3to nfts so that i could use gparted to use the remaining hadrdrive space form the windows sidethat is what happened
[03:09] <DasEi> Chaorain2: http://www.fs-driver.org/
[03:09] <n8tuser> famous -> virtual drive? you can mount the iso to any dir
[03:09] <linuxman410> famous what operating system are u using
[03:09] <rikkimaru> faileas: I don't really want the nightly build, just the latest stable (2.0.1.1).  When I add the repository listed for kubuntu, I can't find a more recent version with synaptic
[03:09] <wolter> allquixotic, i killed whiptail and stuff went back to normal...
[03:09] <allquixotic> wolter: Try killing the whiptail app; but I'm disturbed that it's running without you seeing a dialog box, as that is its function
[03:09] <rikkimaru> faileas: is there anything I need to do other than adding the repo?
[03:09] <allquixotic> wolter: Hmm, strange
[03:09] <wolter> let me see if i keep getting stalls...
[03:10] <rambo298> rambo298: oh use filezilla
[03:10] <faileas> rikkimaru: probably the usual apt-get update and upgrade, and maybe installing it. the kubuntu channel might have someone else who's done it...
[03:10] <rambo298> rambo298: ty
[03:10] <faileas> wait.. when did amarok 2 go stable?
[03:10] <wolter> allquixotic, it might be because i ran that module-assistant, i think whiptail is the one that makes that blue terminal dialogs.
[03:10] <allquixotic> wolter: Oh, ok... weird....
[03:11] <wolter> allquixotic, i keep getting stalls though..
[03:11] <TheKing> How do I use sed to find and replace a string of text
[03:11] <TheKing> in ALL files in ALL subdirctories
[03:11] <wolter> allquixotic, now cpus alternate between 0% and 30%
[03:12] <Omikane> how would I bring my logins and passwords over from a FF profile backup?
[03:12] <DasEi> marine:if you did so, you would have changed ntfs to ext3; anyway, help on restoring windows can be found ##windows
[03:12] <jrib> TheKing: use find with -exec sed.  See the examples in « man find »
[03:12] <TheKing> k
[03:13] <DaveW> does anyone know how to program in ML?
[03:13] <wolter> allquixotic, also, it seems that those stalls only happen when i am using the keyboard or the guis (it happens in my guis in the sense that the hover effects pause when the stall occurs)
[03:13] <joljam> how can i go and see my old chat logs
[03:14] <linuxman410> keyboard started beeping when i type in irc how do i turn off
[03:14] <gerber> where is locater the TCP property
[03:14] <johnnnny> I have Ubuntu (server edition 8.04 LTS) installed. I would like to register an extra service script to be started at the same time as my mySQL service starts (or around there)
[03:15] <johnnnny> any ideas how to get it registered? ( I copied my file in the /etc/init.d/ folder, and it didn't start on boot)
[03:15] <lstarnes> johnnnny: man update-rc.d
[03:15] <gerber> where is locater the TCP property
[03:15] <johnnnny> ah ;)
[03:15] <Pelias|afk> so yeah, problem with ubuntu not booting on raid0 system. Who wants to help?
[03:16] <Pelias> I see forest of hands:P
[03:17] <gerber> where is locater the TCP property ?
[03:17] <gerber> local connection
[03:18] <Frederick> folks why if I set a high resolution my screen fits less than the total monitor area?
[03:19] <gerber> i need to -put IP address,but i don't how ?
[03:19] <Omikane> anyone know how I would I bring my logins and passwords over from a FF profile backup? I just lost my server logins!
[03:20] <johnnnny> i love ubuntu
[03:20] <Pelias> johnnnny: You're sick.
[03:21] <Ketrel> quick question, from CLI, how can you check the time?
[03:21] <lstarnes> Ketrel: date
[03:21] <gerber> johny see private
[03:21] <Ketrel> lstarnes thx
[03:23] <famous> if i have a bunch of .r0 .r1 .r2 files what can i use to unpack them?
[03:23] <sigterm> famous, unrar
[03:25] <gerber> sigterm see private
[03:25] <Omikane> Okay, I fixed that. Now how do I transfer pass/logins for ssh from one ubuntu install to another?
[03:25] <Ketrel> damn, I added something to the crontab, but it appears not to have worked, is there any way to check why
[03:26] <famous> sigterm: thanks! it is unpacking now
[03:26] <sigterm> welcome
[03:28] <dreamy> is there any GUI for xorg.conf ?
[03:28] <matisse> Hello, what could be the reason, that my partitions aren't listed as /dev/hd** ?
[03:28] <dreamy> maybe u have scassi
[03:28] <lstarnes> matisse: try /dev/sd*
[03:28] <dreamy> scasi
[03:28] <lstarnes> dreamy: scsi
[03:28] <rww> matisse: Partitions in Ubuntu are usually listed /dev/sdXY
[03:29] <nyaa> matisse what about /dev/sd*  ... sata ones I think are listed that way
[03:29] <dreamy> k
[03:29] <lstarnes> matisse: for the last few kernel versions, hard disks have been using /dev/sd*
[03:29] <matisse> well
[03:30] <matisse> is it /dev/sd* even if those are on IDE?
[03:30] <lstarnes> matisse: I think so
[03:30] <Cpudan80> matisse: yep
[03:30] <matisse> ok, then I'll try
[03:30] <Cpudan80> matisse: they unified the naming scheme a few kernels ago
[03:30] <nyaa> matisse: what exactly are you doing?  is it grub stuff?
[03:30] <matisse> since which kernel version is that?
[03:31] <matisse> nyaa: rigth
[03:31] <Cpudan80> ehhh dunno
[03:31] <Cpudan80> pretty old
[03:31] <matisse> fstab is broken
[03:31] <Cpudan80> before Ubuntu Feisty went out
[03:31] <matisse> wow
[03:31] <Chaorain> can Wubi be used to install other versions of linux? such as fedora?
[03:31] <Ketrel> why is it that 'sudo fortune' says command not found
[03:32] <nyaa> matisse: the root drive in my grub is (hd0,2)
[03:32] <lstarnes> Ketrel: is fortune installed?
[03:32] <lstarnes> Chaorain: I believe it's only for ubuntu
[03:32] <nyaa> matisse: I *think* its the third partition in the first drive
[03:32] <Ketrel> lstarnes: yes, without sudo, it works
[03:32] <Cpudan80> Chaorain: it may be able to - but it's prepacked all together with Ubuntu
[03:32] <sherl0ck> ok whats the name of the terminal app that you can subdivide into smaller terminals within the main terminal?
[03:32] <rww> Ketrel: the root user doesn't have /usr/games/ (fortune's location) in its $PATH by default, whereas normal users do.
[03:32] <lstarnes> Ketrel: root's PATH does not (and probably should not) include /usr/games
[03:32] <Cpudan80> Chaorain: or well - its designed to work with Ubuntu
[03:32] <rww> sherl0ck: screen?
[03:32] <sherl0ck> no not that one
[03:33] <rww> sherl0ck: terminator?
[03:33] <sherl0ck> yeaaa
[03:33] <sherl0ck> thx
[03:33] <Chaorain> is there something simalar that would?
[03:33] <rww> Chaorain: I'd recommend asking the people in #fedora; they might know of something like that :)
[03:33] <Ketrel> ok, then I think I know what I should do here
[03:33] <Cpudan80> Chaorain: a VM would be the same idea - but it would get less performance
[03:34] <Cpudan80> Chaorain: VirtualBox works for Windows, you can install whatever you like in there
[03:34] <johnnnny> when doing "update-rc.d myapp defaults"     is it normal that the service got registered at all levels: rc0, rc1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ?
[03:34] <Cpudan80> johnnnny: yes
[03:34] <johnnnny> Cpudan80: and it will run only once, right ?
[03:34] <Cpudan80> johnnnny: it'll be passed a "start" arg at r2-6
[03:35] <Cpudan80> and a stop at 0-1
[03:35] <lstarnes> stop at 6
[03:35] <Cpudan80> johnnnny: you can only be at one runlevel at a time ;-)
[03:35] <Cpudan80> oh yeah
[03:35] <lstarnes> since 6 is reboot
[03:35] <Cpudan80> my bad
[03:35] <johnnnny> kk :)
[03:35] <johnnnny> all good :)
[03:35] <Cpudan80> It might actually get restart at 6
[03:35] <Cpudan80> hrm....
[03:35] <johnnnny> no worries, i'll just test :D
[03:35] <Ketrel> lstarnes and rww: right thign to do here would be to use full path right?
[03:35] <Cpudan80> I wonder what it gets at r6 .... that's a good question
[03:35] <lstarnes> Ketrel: yes
[03:35] <rww> Ketrel: sudo /usr/games/fortune ? yeah.
[03:36] <Ketrel> that works
[03:36] <phiqtion> !kiba-dock
[03:36] <Cpudan80> oooh fortune -- my favorite app
[03:36] <Cpudan80> particularly fortune -o
[03:36] <johnnnny> Cpudan80: my machine is just a console machine.
[03:36] <phiqtion> what dock is being used now?
[03:36] <Ketrel> BTW lstarnes and rww: my goal is to make a cronjob that changes the MOTD every X time
[03:36] <hubar> help! I am trying to rescue and recover from a T61 (Lenovo) that had ubuntu 8.1 installed but it kept giving me error that "%s failed to recover the system".
[03:37] <johnnnny> perfect, service started :)
[03:37] <Arv3n> !offtopic
[03:37] <sherl0ck> Kertel: fortune > /etc/motd.tail
[03:37] <johnnnny> and service stops :D
[03:37] <johnnnny> all happy :)

[03:39] <anhdh> said
[03:39] <Cpudan80> then you dont have the right driver
[03:39] <Cpudan80> or rather - your driver doesnt support 3D acceleration
[03:39] <anhdh> Cpudan80,  how can i install
[03:39] <Cpudan80> What card is it?
[03:39] <Cpudan80> lspci | grep -i vga

[03:40] <Raspberry> this is slightly off-topic, but is there a better #debian channel to ask Q in than the #debian here on freenode... I've been using Debian since 1998, but haven't needed to visit the channel in the last few years -- the people in there now are fairly non-technical.
[03:40] <Flannel> Raspberry: #debian has moved to oftc
[03:40] <lstarnes> Raspberry: #debian on oftc
[03:40] <Cpudan80> anhdh: get the line from lspci | grep -i direct
[03:40] <rww> Raspberry: you could try the official one on irc.oftc.net
[03:40] <Raspberry> thanks :)

[03:42] <sherl0ck> anhdh: sudo modprobe those
[03:43] <sherl0ck> anhdh, then rerun info command
[03:43] <anhdh> sherl0ck, trying
[03:43] <Cpudan80> anhdh: huh? You should enable the driver if it lists one
[03:43] <anhdh> sherl0ck, it returns nothing
[03:43] <scunizi> Cpudan80, for intel there are no drivers to be "enabled".. installed yes.. perhaps listed in xorg.conf.. but it's not like nvidia or ati
[03:44] <Cpudan80> oh

[03:49] <rikkimaru> I want to get a previous version of bochs (available in intrepid universe).  How can I find a repository for this?
[03:49] <jrib> haji: before we sort that out.  How are you installing python exactly?  What did you run since extracting the tarball?
[03:50] <jrib> !rosetta | gregor__
[03:50] <haji> jrib: mmm just ./configure and then make
[03:50] <Ketrel> Ok, my cronjob set with 'sudo crontab -e' is '*/2 * * * * /home/andrew/Scripts/fortune_motd
[03:50] <jrib> gregor__: is that what you mean?
[03:50] <jrib> haji: you shouldn't be using make.  That's going to mess things up
[03:50] <Ketrel> The script is

[03:51] <haji> jrib: so what do I do?
[03:51] <gregor__> What i search, is statistics on https://translations.launchpad.net/netbeans how much it is allready translated.

[03:52] <jrib> Ketrel: how do you call it manually?
[03:52] <Ketrel> sudo /home/andrew/Scripts/fortune_motd

[03:53] <jrib> Ketrel: what does your mail from cron say?
[03:53] <Pedrolito> how can I pair a bluetooth device that requires a pin number? When I use the bluetooth applet to do that, it displays the message that it gets from the bluetooth device, i.e. "please enter pin 4253", but it doesn't allow me to enter a pin
[03:53] <haji> jrib: ok, i'll try that, thanks
[03:53] <johnnnny> thanks jrib
[03:53] <Ketrel> jirb: how do I read that?
[03:53] <jrib> haji: that won't fix your error.
[03:53] <johnnnny> jrib: just figured out how to look them up on the web
[03:54] <jrib> Ketrel: « mail » should be enough
[03:54] <haji> jrib: oh, how can I fix the error?
[03:54] <Ketrel> jrib: no such command
[03:55] <johnnnny> Ketrel: sudo apt-get install mail ? hehe
[03:55] <johnnnny> im surprised mail isn't there.
[03:55] <Ketrel> couldn't find package mail
[03:55] <johnnnny> good luck :)
[03:55] <Ketrel> The program 'mail' can be found in the following packages:
[03:55] <Ketrel> * heirloom-mailx
[03:55] <Ketrel> * mailutils
[03:55] <Ketrel> which?
[03:56] <lstarnes> Ketrel: either
[03:56] <lstarnes> Ketrel: try mailutils
[03:56] <johnnnny> take the second
[03:56] <gregor__> jrib: What i search, is statistics on https://translations.launchpad.net/netbeans how much is allready translated and so on

[03:58] <joljam> >:o
[03:58] <Ketrel> does cron output info anywhere else?
[03:58] <jrib> Ketrel: good question
[03:58] <johnnnny> joljam: maybe it's a network card issue ? (like not full duplex or something ?)
[03:58] <haji> jrib: ahh i see, I will search for those packages
[03:58] <exodus> joljam: what are you using to stream
[03:58] <jrib> haji: you can do something like 'sudo apt-get build-dep python-dev' or whatever
[03:59] <haji> jrib: thanks
[03:59] <Ketrel> how can I make cron send a mail then?
[03:59] <joljam> exodus.. megavideo, youtube, dailymotion

[04:00] <zesss> need help getting my dlink wireless card working
[04:00] <rdw200169> Ketrel, you can try sendemail
[04:00] <SJr> Hey dawgs, what is a good iPod manager for Linux? Songbird? gtkpod?
[04:00] <joljam> exodus- I have repaired flash
[04:01] <exodus> joljam: does your computer lock up completely or just your web browser when streaming media
[04:01] <rdw200169> Ketrel, it's a command line tool that can send an e-mail anywhere, i.e. a google account or something
[04:01] <Ketrel> rdw200169 that's not what I meant
[04:01] <rdw200169> SJr, Amarok can do it too
[04:01] <Ketrel> I'm trying to figure out why a cronjob isn't working
[04:01] <gnubuntu> scunizi: yyes
[04:01] <SJr> Yeah but Amarok seems overly complicated
[04:01] <rdw200169> Ketrel, you should check your syslog, sometimes it will specify in there that an error occured
[04:02] <joljam> exodus...my computer as a whole locks up..
[04:02] <Flannel> Ketrel: cron will send any output to your mail actually.
[04:02] <Ketrel> Flannel: no mail whatsoever yet the job didn't do anything
[04:02] <Flannel> Ketrel: Is there an empty line at the end of your crontab?
[04:02] <zesss> anyone help me with my dwl g122 wireless
[04:02] <Ketrel> Flannel good question
[04:02] <rdw200169> Flannel, I *HATE* that bug
[04:03] <exodus> joljam: what version of Ubuntu and what are you using for web browser
[04:03] <Flannel> rdw200169: It's not really a bug, its a specification, and a relatively sane one at that.
[04:03] <rdw200169> Flannel, yes, but i've gotten burned by that, so I hate it ;)
[04:03] <Ketrel> Flannel: no there wasn't, lets try with one
[04:03] <joljam> Exodus:- I am using Intrepid and Firefox
[04:03] <exodus> joljam: ff 3?
[04:03] <rdw200169> Flannel, in the least, it should syslog "hey idiot, you forgot the newline"
[04:04] <joljam> exodus:- what do you mean by ff 3?
[04:04] <exodus> joljam: firefox 3
[04:04] <joljam> ooohh..yeah firefox 3
[04:04] <Ketrel> Flannel and rdw200169: and we have a winner
[04:04] <joljam> exodus:- firefox 3.0.5
[04:05] <phiqtion2> how can i transfer files from xp to ubuntu?
[04:05] <phiqtion2> locally
[04:06] <IndyGunFreak> phiqtion: log in to ubuntu, mount your xp partition, transfer files.
[04:06] <exodus> joljam: how much 'swap' memory do you have enabled?
[04:08] <fwaokda> how can i set the default icon size for desktop icons?
[04:08] <SJr> How can I figure out whether or not I am running the 64 bit version of Ubuntu?
[04:08] <phiqtion2> IndyGunFreak: i mean transfer on a local network, from xp to ubuntu
[04:08] <Dr_willis> phiqtion,  you mean  you are dual-booting and 'locally' = on the same machine
[04:08] <lstarnes> SJr: uname -m
[04:08] <IndyGunFreak> phiqtion: oh i apologize, i thought you were saying on the same pC.
[04:08] <mom1dad1> is there other chat rooms
[04:08] <Dante123> Pentium III at 1000mhz.  320 ram.  Can it run Ubuntu 8.10 or should I be looking at xubuntu or something lighter.  For a kid, so a little slower but still works should be fine...but I dont want it to be too slow if changing window manager can make a sizable difference.
[04:08] <lstarnes> mom1dad1: there are hundreds on this network (freenode) alone
[04:08] <SJr> thanks
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak> phiqtion: probably would want to look at samba i'd imagine..
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak> !samba > phiqtion
 ssh and winscp on windows machine - is one easy way toget some files back and forth.  - samba  to set up a 'fileserver' the windows box can access.
[04:09] <Dante123> Kid has used ubuntu...so that is why I want to try that first.  But willing to try something else.
[04:09] <nickrud> Dante123, the mem is the choke point; if you could stick another 256 or better 512 it would be just fine
[04:10] <nickrud> Dante123, for gnome; I finally bit the bullet and bought a new machine when my 466/512 choked up
[04:10] <Dante123> nickrud i've gone through all my spare memory and that is the best that I can do that works in this machine.
[04:10] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: lol, did the hamster finally die?
[04:10]  * nickrud sniffs, and goes off to count his pennies
[04:10] <Dante123> you think xubuntu would make much of a difference???
[04:10] <joot> Please take a look at this paste    http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/109235/
[04:11] <nickrud> Dante123, yes it would be usable. Still wouldn't want to run openoffice and eclipse at the same time :)
[04:11] <IndyGunFreak> Dante123: i don't really think so, Xfce has become just as bloated as Gnome in my opinion... its not "that" much lighter anymore.
[04:11] <IndyGunFreak> Dante123: if you like ubuntu, and the ubuntu way of doing things, on a machine that old, I would google "crunchbang linux"
[04:11] <Dante123> IndyGunFreak is there another ubuntu derivative that might be better?
[04:12] <Dante123> IndyGunFreak its not for me for a kid in my class.  We have a couple of dell minis running 8.04 so he is used to ubuntu already a bit.
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> Dante123: crunchbang is basically Ubuntu 8.10, w/ openbox.. fast as can be..
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> Dante123: i see, well, the GUI would definitely be different
[04:12] <Dante123> IndyGunFreak will look into it.  Still has add/remove etc. for adding apps?
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Dante123: yes, but the GUI isn't quite as friendly as Gnome/Xfce/KDE
[04:13] <Dante123> Kid can adjust....I'll look at it.  Maybe test livecd if they have one.
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Dante123: but if you know your way around gnome a bit, you'll get the hang of it pretty quick, cuz you know what all the apps do, etc.
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Dante123: indeed they do....
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Dante123: another option, might be a vanilla debian install
[04:14] <redvamp128> Dante123:  LXDE ?
[04:14] <fiasco> Gparted doesn't seem to be working for me in intrepid. is this a version thing?
[04:14] <redvamp128> LXDE.org | Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment <http://lxde.org/>
[04:15] <peepsalot> i have some pictures taken by my digital camera.  I turned the camera sideways to take them, and they show correctly in nautilus thumbnails, and in image viewing apps, but in the file dialog to upload from firefox, they are sideways, and they are sideways when the get uploaded
[04:15] <tobias_> hallo
[04:16] <spill> anyone know how to configure firehole to allow local network address to passthrough?
[04:16] <Dante123> redvamp128 so you are saying install ubuntu then add lxde for desktop manager
[04:16] <rapeman> hey guys, i was wondering if you would be able to help me figure out how to write an iso to a usb drive
[04:16] <rapeman> so i could boot off of it
[04:16] <bruenig> rapeman: dd
[04:17] <nyaa> dante123 I sent you a message that  might help lol
[04:17] <redvamp128> Dante123:  They have a live install version where it already is in there
[04:17] <rapeman> bruenig, would you be able to help me
[04:17] <bruenig> rapeman: man dd
[04:17] <redvamp128> Dante123:  or if you already have ubuntu installed you can add the LXDE desktop
[04:17] <nickrud> !unetbootin
[04:18] <rapeman> no unetbootin won't let me do it
[04:18] <rapeman> unetbootin only lets you do it with the pre-defined linux distros
[04:18] <spill> anyone know how to configure firehol to allow local network address to passthrough?
[04:18] <rapeman> but i'm trying to do this in ubuntu with an iso that is not linux relate
[04:18] <Dante123> redvamp128 how do I do that?  What is command?
[04:19] <redvamp128> to install it on ubuntu Dante123? is that what you are asking?
[04:19] <Guest28626> naitou horizon?
[04:19] <MethinX> I need a suggestion of a document editor that automaticly backs up, checks scripts, and will work with xorg.conf and various other text documents I am a new user using Ubuntu 8.1 and am 7 days Microsoft Free!
[04:19] <Dante123> yeah, I already had a hard drive with hardy on it that I put in that machine....what is command to install lxde (sudo apt-get something???)
[04:19] <redvamp128> Dante123:  all you have to do is open up synaptic package manger -- search for LXDE
[04:19] <Dante123> will it automagically become the desktop on reboot???
[04:20] <redvamp128> or you can use this command Dante123 Ubuntu - LXDE.org <http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Ubuntu>
[04:20] <redvamp128> Dante123:  no you have to manually select it then log in and choose save as default.
[04:21] <nickrud> Dante123, at the login screen, select options->sessions; any desktop you have installed can be chosen there
[04:21] <redvamp128> Dante123:  to get it from prompt  sudo apt-get install lxde
[04:21] <rapeman> ?
[04:21] <R0b0t1> As I understand, the full version of Vim is not included on Ubuntu by default. Which packages would I look for/install?
[04:21] <werdnum> R0b0t1: "full version"?
[04:22] <tbrock> eman
[04:22] <R0b0t1> werdnum: Yes, as in there are some features missing in what is default installed.
[04:22] <nickrud> MethinX, gedit does that; it creates backups and appends ~ to them. They are not visible until you turn on show hidden files
[04:22] <R0b0t1> As I remember, I wasn't able to use syntax highlighting by default.
[04:22] <MethinX> nickrud, thank you
[04:22] <spill> anyone know how to configure firehol firewall to allow local network address to passthrough?
[04:23] <Dr_willis> R0b0t1,  'vim-full' and alter the /etc/vim/vimrc as you like
[04:23] <R0b0t1> Dr_willis: +1
[04:23] <nickrud> MethinX, most editors make backups the same way - it's nearly a unix standard
[04:23] <joot> Please take a look at this paste    http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/109235/

[04:27] <ryancr> I am trying to connect to netgear fvx538 via vpn using network manager... but i don't seem to be able to, as nm asks for a user password and I don't have one, just a preshared key (which I assme is the same as the group password)
[04:27] <ryancr> any thoughts?
[04:27] <zeb> how do i find out what version of a wireless card i have
[04:28] <joljam> exodus :- I am not sure as to houch swap I have
[04:30] <captain_> anyone know why ALSA isn't picking up my CD-IN as a capture?
[04:30] <Panxy> hello everyone. i have a question... i installed virtualbox and i'm trying to make raw vmdk, to boot my /dev/sda1 partition, which is running windows XP, but i keep getting: Error while creating the raw disk VMDK: VERR_ALREADY_EXISTS ... anyone saw such error yet and has an idea what's wrong ?
[04:30] <rsteckler> I'm trying to figure out what I need to do apart from apt-get install phpmyadmin to get it running.  I'm getting a 404 from <ip>/phpmyadmin.  My gut is telling me there is something bad from the alias line in /phpmyadmin/apache2.conf, which says "alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin".  That seems odd because apache2's root is /var/www
[04:30] <rsteckler> Anyone know what magic I need here?
[04:30] <Panxy> i googled all around, but it seems i cannot get an answer for it... anyone maybe ?
[04:30] <IndyGunFreak> zeb: is it internal, USB, what?
[04:30] <PeoplesAdvocate> Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to find out if a scripts is executing like its supposed to? Where do i check?
[04:31] <carlf> I'm sure there must be a document somewhere but my google-fu is failing me. Why would I have two copies of gdm and X running? It seems like that by default in xubuntu but I seem to recall seeing the same in regular ubuntu
[04:32] <nickrud> rsteckler, you shouldn't have anything in apache2.conf about phpmyadmin, the config should be in /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
[04:33] <rsteckler> nickrud: Thanks.  I thikn I just found a google with the same prob:  When phpmyadmin asked which server to configure, the cursor was highlighting apache2, and I hit enter.  Apparently, I need to hit <space" to select that item, then enter to configure it =/
[04:33] <nickrud> PeoplesAdvocate, it really depends on what the script is doing
[04:33] <nickrud> rsteckler, ah. I'll remember that. I'm just used to debconf I guess ;)
[04:34] <PeoplesAdvocate> nickrud: it is auto update and upgrade with -qy
[04:34] <rsteckler> So, followup question:  apt-get remove phpmyadmin followed by apt-get install phpmyadmin doesn't "reprompt" me for that config screen.  Anyone know how to completely remove it so I can completely reinstall it?
[04:34] <gluonman> What is the command that I must use to find the dimensions of an open window?
[04:34] <rsteckler> Or how to bring that config up with the current install?
[04:34] <nickrud> PeoplesAdvocate, you can see the install history in /var/log/dpkg.log; grep installed /var/log/dpkg.log is a usable filter
[04:34] <Flannel> rsteckler: Purge it, and whatever dependencies it has.  (looks like there's no depends that need to be removed)
[04:35] <evilGUI> anyone have any idea why I get a different lang in firefox when it says file not found? http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2355/screenshotpageloaderrorpw3.png
[04:35] <nickrud> rsteckler, sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin should do it
[04:35] <PeoplesAdvocate> nickrud: thanks i appreciate it
[04:35] <rsteckler> awesome.  I'll try #2, then #1  =)
[04:35] <Panxy> i googled all around, but it seems i cannot get an answer for it... anyone maybe ?
[04:36] <Panxy> hello everyone. i have a question... i installed virtualbox and i'm trying to make raw vmdk, to boot my /dev/sda1 partition, which is running windows XP, but i keep getting: Error while creating the raw disk VMDK: VERR_ALREADY_EXISTS ... anyone saw such error yet and has an idea what's wrong ?
[04:36] <gluonman> What command should I use to find the dimensions of an open window?
[04:36] <Dante123> tried the lxde, not bad.  What's another good desktop manager to try?  I'm not a big fan of kde...but willing to try a couple other lighter ones.  Suggestions??
[04:36] <evilGUI> This is really starting to creep me out
[04:36] <IndyGunFreak> zeb: did you figure out what wireless device you have?
[04:36] <Dante123> Panxy have you tried the vbox forum.  A guy named erstazi is VERY knowledgable.
[04:36] <zeb> yes i have the linux drivers now i need to find out how to install them
[04:37] <zeb> im new
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> zeb: what device is it?..
[04:37] <zeb> dlink dwl g122 rev c
[04:37] <Dante123> zeb welcome.  some of us are old, some are in between.
[04:37] <Panxy> i will try to contact on the forum too yes, in case i dont get answer here or on vbox channel... i'm sure it's a simple solution...
[04:38] <IndyGunFreak> zeb: if it has a linux driver, then they should provide support for installing it
[04:38] <zeb> cant find it
[04:38] <Dante123> Panxy.  Erstazi is one of the most knowledgable in the channel.  Others are helpful too.  Sorry I cant help on that particular question.
[04:38] <knowone> joljam, Exodus has exited. swapon -s will tell you your current swap space
[04:38] <zeb> been looking for 2 hours now
[04:38] <IndyGunFreak> zeb: where did you download it?
[04:38] <zeb> from a forum
[04:38] <IndyGunFreak> zeb: did you think to ask on that forum for help?
[04:38] <Dante123> Other desktop/window manager suggestions to try???
[04:38] <FloridaGuy> anyone ever hear of a socket 370 board..that linux will run on...and if installing windows you get error loading system
[04:39] <IndyGunFreak> Dante123: did you try crunchbang?
[04:39] <zeb> the dlink is ralink for linux
[04:39] <IndyGunFreak> !ralink | zeb
[04:39] <Dr_willis> Dante123,  depends on your needs. and what you want.. its easy to install ano of the dozen+ window manager in ubuntu
[04:39] <Dante123> Not yet, have to dl and burn cd.  Will try tomorrow on old pc.  Thanks for the tip.
[04:39] <Dante123> Dr_willis preferably something lightweight....gnomish....
[04:40] <Dr_willis> Dante123,  go through the list and start trying them out..
[04:40] <johnnnny> Am i better using "sudo" or "start-stop-deamon" in my init.d scripts ?
[04:40] <rsteckler> I am happy.  dpkg --configure said it was already configured (I don't see a reconfigure option).  apt-get remove, dpkg -P, and apt-get install worked.  Now I have phpmyadmin up.  Thanks guys
[04:40] <Dr_willis> Dante123,  the varioux XXXBox ones are popular
[04:40] <Dante123> there's a list???
[04:40] <Dr_willis> Dante123,  synaptic , and search feature.. or check its catagories
[04:40] <kriel> I know I'm a little bit behind the leading edge; but is there any risk to doing a dist-upgrade? I'm used to windows; where trying to "dist upgrade" is BAD; however I've never had the experience of trying it on Ubuntu.
[04:41] <PeoplesAdvocate> rsteckler: if you run in probs again and want to start over I used this site to follow. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[04:41] <johnnnny> anyone ?
[04:41] <evilGUI> in firefox I get this if I put in the wrong link to a file http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2355/screenshotpageloaderrorpw3.png
[04:41] <PeoplesAdvocate> helped me out alot
[04:41] <evilGUI> why does it have a different lang mixed in?
[04:41] <Dr_willis> johnnnny,  init script dont need 'sudo' in them. or are we missunderstanding what you asked..
[04:41] <zeb> i have to compile the driver?
[04:42] <johnnnny> Dr_willis: really ? they don't ?
[04:42] <Dr_willis> johnnnny,  they are ran by the sytem at boot..so they get ran as root... makes sence eh?
[04:42] <johnnnny> Dr_willis: i want to run them as a specific user too.
[04:42] <Dr_willis> johnnnny,  no sudo needed in rc.local either.
[04:42] <johnnnny> Dr_willis: because they are servers.
[04:42] <Dr_willis> johnnnny,   running an init script as a user.. makes little sence.
[04:43] <Dr_willis> a 'server' can have its own uid/gid if i recall right.. the scripts get launched by root.. but the service some how changes to the proper user.
[04:43] <johnnnny> Dr_willis: you don't think it makes total sense to run a server-service that might be open to the web to be runned as another user , vs root ?
[04:43] <zeb> im confused
[04:43] <johnnnny> just wondering :)
[04:43] <Dr_willis> that way the httpd sercice is not getting as root..it getting STARTED by root.
[04:44] <PeoplesAdvocate> anyone recommend anything else besides webmin? anything better?
[04:44] <johnnnny> Dr_willis: some programs don't do that.
[04:44] <PeoplesAdvocate> i heard of ebox or something like that
[04:44] <Dr_willis> that way the httpd service is not running as root..it getting STARTED by root.  as i said - it depends on the service
[04:44] <Dante123> Dr_willis okay dled a few and will try.  Thanks!
[04:44] <Dr_willis> Dante123,  some of them dont add a proper entry to the GDM session menus.
[04:45] <Dr_willis> Dante123,  i know JWM doswnt.. but jwm is so minimal :) its amazing
[04:45] <johnnnny> Dr_willis: start-stop-deamon offers exactly what i need.. so does sudo.. just for safety sake
[04:45] <joot> Help please this is the terminal message from freedroidRPG   http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/109235/
[04:45] <jackdeth> Need help with a new Ubuntu install.
[04:45] <zeb> anyone help me to get this driver working this is all jibberish to mee
[04:45] <Dr_willis> johnnnny,  i imagine it depends on what you are doing exactly. :)
[04:46] <nyaa> johnnny: sudo is supposed to let you execute your command as if it were root. I don't see how it can be a substitute for the command that follows it
[04:46] <joljam> Exodus:- How do I know how much swap i have
[04:46] <Droopsta915> Whats the command to get into the menu.lst list?
[04:46] <johnnnny> Dr_willis: well, i'm running a server that doesn't set it's own process UID GID, and it will be open . I just want to be sure it's not runned as root.
[04:46] <nyaa> johhhny: to me that would be similar to substituting "can you keep track of the time for me so that I can tell when to do certain processes?" with "hey. I'm the boss."
[04:47] <johnnnny> it's to run subversion.
[04:47] <U-b-u-n-t-u> whats the site where you can paste in large amounts of txt and it gives you a url
[04:47] <ice_cream> lo, do i still need samba package to use cifs or something?
[04:47] <PeoplesAdvocate> Droopsta915: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:47] <PeoplesAdvocate> carefull though
[04:47] <apo> Hm, any ideas if there's a hostapd IRC channel?
[04:47] <Droopsta915> sudo, thats what i was doing wrong. thanx
[04:48] <jackdeth> I was trying out Ubuntu before in VMware and everything seemed pretty straightforward. When partitioning the virutal machine I could just use all the space. I had a 3 GB swap and the rest of the space was allocated to root ( / ). Now, I'm trying do a dual boot and have questions after the fact.
[04:48] <lawstudent> guys, i need a VERY SMALL wav player. Please give me your recommendations.
[04:48] <ice_cream> there does not seem to be a cifs package, which seems strange
[04:48] <ftab_> is there any way to delete the sound drivers and then re-install?
[04:48] <nyaa> joljam: open a terminal and type in "top", swap will be in second from the top on the left
[04:49] <jackdeth> During the install it suggested setting up a swap space at least 1gb and then a "home directory" which it referred to as " / " and then the rest would go to "/media/sda2".
[04:49] <nyaa> joljam sorry 5th from the top
[04:49] <Dr_willis> jackdeth,  home is not /  -> home is /home
[04:50] <rsteckler> PeoplesAdvocate: Nice.  I did just that - removed and purged the whole lamp stack and used that to get it back.  Everything is working now, and I'm not going to wonder about all the little tweaks I tried to get it running before.
[04:50] <jackdeth> Now after the installation is done it appears that the whole file system was installed to " / " which is only about 3GB in size leaving the rest of that drive space free. It's my understanding that when you install new packages, they get installed into a variety of folders within that main file system. Won't that very quickly eat up all that space?
[04:50] <ice_cream> i guess it's called smbfs.... although i assumed that was samba related, when i looked closer at description it appears to be smb/cifs protocol
[04:50] <PeoplesAdvocate> lol
[04:50] <Dr_willis> jackdeth,  you would mount '/' to  like /dev/sda1  and home would then be /dev/sda1/home    /home  basically..
[04:50] <rsteckler> One weird thing, though:  After I removed and purged apache2, there still existed a /etc/apache2 folder.  <shrug>
[04:50] <jackdeth> Sorry for the long dissertation.
[04:51] <ice_cream> you guys should make at least a cifs link type of package that points to smbfs
[04:51] <RocketLauncher> ( what a shithead )
[04:51] <RocketLauncher>  -----------------
[04:51] <RocketLauncher>         o   ^__^
[04:51] <FloodBot2> RocketLauncher: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:51] <Flannel> rsteckler: That's because "apache2" doesn't own that folder.  Theres subpackages (that apache2 depends on) like apache2.2-commona nd apache2-mpm-worker
[04:51] <RocketLauncher>          o  (oo)\_______
[04:51] <apo> lawstudent: bplay is pretty small, I think
[04:51] <lawstudent> apo, thanks.
[04:52] <rsteckler> Flannel:  I thought apt-get autoremove would remove those "children"
[04:52] <lawstudent> i'll check out bplay. i need a SMALL WAV PLAYER because I have  a tiny eeepc. thanks
[04:52] <PeoplesAdvocate> rsteckler:i think i read somewhere that you need to manually delete that folder from your /etc. But im not sure.
[04:52] <Flannel> rsteckler: It may.  It may not purge them though.
[04:52] <rsteckler> oh wait.  Other way around.  Apache2 depends on those things
[04:52] <jackdeth> DrWillis: Let me break down what i have now. This second drive has Windows XP data on it. So, I have an NTFS mounted partition with a mountpoint "/media/sda1" which totals about 330GB.
[04:52] <rsteckler> got it
[04:52] <rsteckler> no biggy - Everything seems to be working now.
[04:53] <jackdeth> Then I have /dev/sda2 which is formatted ext3, totalling 135GB but has no mountpoint listed (I'm using something called gparted).
[04:53] <jackdeth> Then I have /dev/sda4 with a mountpoint of " / " which is 3.7GB.
[04:53] <Dr_willis> jackdeth,  you are still at the installing stage?  or what exctly are you doing?
[04:53] <jackdeth> Then /dev/sda3 which is a swap space of about a gig.
[04:53] <balrog__> what port does bazaar use?
[04:53] <rsteckler> Gotta say, though...Coming from a Windows world (I'm obviously a linux noob), it's amazing to see a web server install from a remote location in 12 seconds.
[04:54] <apo> lawstudent: You mean small as in resources or as in resolution on the screen? :P>
[04:54] <rsteckler> When it was done, I didn't believe that it was actually working.  I had to doublecheck
[04:54] <lawstudent> apo, resources.
[04:54] <jackdeth> I just got done with the installation and freaked out when I saw that I had a mountpoint called " / " with all the main files installed but it was only 3.7 GB in size.
[04:54] <ice_cream> maybe make the big ext3 mounted on /home
[04:54] <lawstudent> i have the most basic eeepc
[04:54] <jackdeth> Is this normal?
[04:54] <Dr_willis> jackdeth,  you could mount  the  sda2 to /home in the installer if you wanted.    but the installer will want the info.. not gparted.
[04:54] <apo> lawstudent: Good
[04:54] <lawstudent> apo, even non-gui is finee
[04:54] <joljam> how can I increase the size of swap
[04:54] <Dr_willis> jackdeth,  I normally have (windows) (/) (/home) and (swap)
[04:55] <n8tuser> jackdeth -> thats normal
[04:55] <jackdeth> So are you saying I should reinstall?
[04:55] <apo> lawstudent: Heh, when somebody asks for small, I won't consider GUI apps
[04:55] <Dr_willis> jackdeth,  i dont know what you are doing.. if you dident tell the installer to use /dev/sda2 as /home - then its not being used as /home
[04:55] <n8tuser> jackdeth may as well,
[04:55] <ice_cream> my laptop is setup   windows, /boot,  / ,  (shared vfat), swap
[04:55] <Dr_willis> jackdeth,  you can move home to it if you wanted.. and edit /etc/fstab
[04:55] <jackdeth> In VMware I had a small swap space and then everything else was just in /. How can I do that again?
[04:56] <joot> apo, does eeepc not play .wav by default??
[04:56] <Dr_willis> jackdeth,  tell the installer to just have a / and a swap..  make no other parttions  - if thats wht ypu want
[04:56] <lawstudent> joot, i changed my os from xandros to debian
[04:57] <Dr_willis> lawstudent,  im useing eeebuntu on my Netbook :)
[04:57] <lawstudent> joot, i don't know whether default os can play wav
[04:57] <jackdeth> DR: Is there any way to do that without having to reinstall again?
[04:57] <joot> lawstudent, ah ok :)
[04:57] <Dr_willis> jackdeth,  do 'what' exactly? i mentioned  like 3 things...
[04:57] <jackdeth> To make just a swap space and a /.
[04:57] <Dr_willis> jackdeth,  repartition the hard drive.. reinstall... is the easy way
[04:57] <apo> lawstudent: moc is also pretty nice.
[04:58] <jackdeth> Sorry. I'm just really stupid with all this. It's all new to me as I'm new to Linux.
[04:58] <Dr_willis> jackdeth,  or use gparted to resize your current / and remove the extra parittion
[04:58] <jackdeth> That gparted thingie isn't letting me resize / and I'm not sure why.
[04:58] <lawstudent> apo, do u know whihc is smaller.
[04:58] <lawstudent> or how i could find out?
[04:59] <Dr_willis> jackdeth,  ecause you can NOT NOT NOT resize a mounted filesytem. use gparted from a live cd.
[04:59] <Dr_willis> did i include enough nots? :)
[04:59] <jackdeth> Ohhhhhh.......I see.
[04:59] <knowone> joljam, 2 ways First you could make a swap file directions at http://www.linux.com/feature/113956 or you could add a second swap partition or resize your current one
[04:59] <jackdeth> <-----feeling really stupid.
[04:59] <Frijolie> anyone in here a rsync guru?
[04:59] <jackdeth> Alright. I guess I'm off to the land of reinstall. Thanks!
[05:00] <joot> Dr_willis. jackdeth< I have all ways found the Ubuntu installer to be quite sensable with the partions and windows share space
[05:00] <apo> lawstudent: I'm pretty sure that using the less hungry one won't hurt your resources. Those things have what? 800MHz? That's plenty for playing WAV ;)
[05:00] <Frijolie> or at least decent, i'm receiving error messages when trying to backup some files from a local drive to a external USB drive
[05:00] <jeeves_Moss> has anyone solved the screen freezing issue with nVidia cards?
[05:00] <joot> Dr_willis.  I am too late
[05:00] <werdnum> Frijolie: we can't help you if you don't tell us what the errors are :)
[05:00] <Dr_willis> joot,  i tnd to resize the windows partition from vista.. and let the installer parittion the unallocated space as it wants.. :)  he apreantly dident set /home to be /dev/sda2
[05:01] <Frijolie> werdnum: I was wondering if anyone was familiar with rsync first
[05:01] <Frijolie> werdnum, before wasting my breath

[05:04] <joetrrr> guys is there anyway to do this in ubuntu? http://www.blogsdna.com/2016/how-to-install-windows-7-from-usb-drive-without-windows-7-iso-dvd.htm
[05:05] <joetrrr> i've formatted my usb ntfs and enabled boot flag
[05:05] <joetrrr> but i need a bootsect equivilent program for ubuntu
[05:05] <joetrrr> any ideas?
[05:05] <werdnum> joetrrr: I think they exist, but I'm not sure where.
[05:05] <Benj79> QUESTION: I took away administration privileges from my user account thinking only root should have that (more secure), but now i can't install my video card driver package from the terminal
[05:05] <Dr_willis> joetrrr,  ask in windows - perhaps they will suggest that super-grub-boot-disk
[05:05] <Frijolie> joetrrr, that-is-the-longest-u-r-l-that-i-think-i-have-ever-seen-in-my-entire-life-while-existing-on-this-planet.htm
[05:06] <Benj79> and i can't edit the users & groups (thought it would just ask me for root password)
[05:06] <joetrrr> hahah
[05:06] <Dr_willis> Benj79,  it was secure enough befor. :) only that user had rights to get to root. :)
[05:06] <Flannel> Benj79: That's correct.  Ubuntu doesn't use the root account, and we don't recommend you enable it (and yes, that means having an account with admin privledges)
[05:06] <apo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation joetrrr
[05:06] <Benj79> OOPS
[05:06] <werdnum> Frijolie: What was the error message you had?
[05:06] <Flannel> Benj79: You'll have to reboot to the recovery console and re-add that user to the admin group if you have no other way of doing so currently.
[05:06] <Benj79> is there a way to get my privileges back?
[05:06] <Frijolie> werdnum, see above (pastebin)
[05:06] <Dr_willis> Benj79,  boot recovery mode, and as root reneable the user perhaps?
[05:07] <Benj79> hmmm ok
[05:07] <Benj79> i'll try it, thanks!
[05:07] <Flannel> Benj79: adduser username admin
[05:07] <Frijolie> werdnum, it's acting like it doesn't like the directories
[05:07] <werdnum> Frijolie: ah, I didn't see that message.
[05:07] <Dr_willis> Benj79,  and no i dont know the exacts of how to do it :) I know better then tobreak it. heh
[05:07] <Benj79> haha
[05:07] <Benj79> now i know too!
[05:07] <Flannel> Dr_willis: adduser uesrname admin
[05:07] <Dr_willis> ther eya go Benj79  :)
[05:07] <Frijolie> werdnum, yeah, sorry it wasn't addressed to you specifically so got lost in the shuffle
[05:07] <Benj79> thanks
[05:07] <Flannel> Benj79: once you've done that, "init 2" will boot the rest of the way (out of recovery to a normal boot)
[05:08] <werdnum> rikkimaru: ls -l /Art
[05:08] <werdnum> oops
[05:08] <werdnum> Frijolie: ls -l /Art
[05:08] <Frijolie> werdnum, darn slashes!
[05:08] <Ketrel> what's the equivalent of the 'yum provides' command with apt?
[05:09] <werdnum> Frijolie: hmm?
[05:09] <Flannel> Ketrel: what does "yum provides" do?
[05:09] <werdnum> yum!
[05:09] <werdnum> nom nom nom
[05:10] <Ketrel> Flannel: 'yum provides */bin/name' would tell me what package gives me anything with */bin/name
[05:10] <apo> Ketrel: apt-file
[05:10] <Flannel> Ketrel: you want apt-file
[05:10] <redvamp128> Yum  -- sounds like redhat or fedora
[05:10] <Ketrel> redvamp128: it is
[05:10] <Frijolie> werdnum, I think I got it
[05:10] <Ketrel> I've used it before, but I was asking how to replicate that command with apt ;)
[05:11] <Frijolie> werdnum, rsync -avz Art /media/disk/Art
[05:11] <Ketrel> apo and Flannel: I have no apt-file o.O
[05:11] <joot> yello dog update manager rpm
[05:11] <Frijolie> werdnum, instead of "rsync -avz /Art /media/disk/Art
[05:11] <Lymies> When you apt-get source something, where is the source put?
[05:11] <joot> yellow
[05:11] <apo> Ketrel: So apt-get it
[05:11] <Flannel> Ketrel: right, its not installed by default.  sudo apt-get install apt-file
[05:11] <Flannel> Lymies: the source deb is put in .
[05:11] <Ketrel> this seems almost like cannibalism
[05:12] <Flannel> Ketrel: Most people don't need to use apt-file, so there's no reason for it to be installed for everyone
[05:12] <werdnum> Frijolie: :)
[05:12] <apo> Ketrel: The program 'apt-get' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install apt
[05:12] <Frijolie> werdnum: all the small little details
[05:12] <apo> ;)
[05:12] <werdnum> :)
[05:13] <Ketrel> apo: that is my nightmare
[05:13] <PeoplesAdvocate> Anyone know of a better program than Webmin?
[05:13] <werdnum> PeoplesAdvocate: MediaWiki.
[05:13] <werdnum> but maybe I'm biased.
[05:13] <werdnum> Maya and Blender are pretty cool, too.
[05:13] <werdnum> Way cooler than Webmin.
[05:14] <werdnum> although Maya costs a bazillion dollars.
[05:14] <apo> Ketrel: It's not too bad, really.
[05:14] <EagleScreen> apo if you removed apt you have a problem :D
[05:14] <werdnum> sudo apt-get remove apt-get
[05:14] <Ketrel> Well, I fell that Notepad far surpasses Webmin, but Webmin is a pretty crappy Windows Text Editor
[05:15] <apo> EagleScreen: Nah
[05:15] <Ketrel> sudo make me a sandwich
[05:15] <Flannel> EagleScreen: No, you'd just have to use dpkg
[05:15] <Flannel> !offtopic
[05:15] <EagleScreen> yes and use dpkg is boring
[05:15] <Ketrel> Flannel: could you remove dpkg?
[05:15] <Lymies> Is there a general developer package that you can install that will cover most of the stuff you need to compile shit?
[05:15] <apo> (or ar, tar, gzip and bzip2)
[05:16] <apo> build-essential, Lymies
[05:16] <Lymies> thanks
[05:16] <Flannel> Lymies: and please watch your language
[05:16] <apo> Lymies: There's also apt-get build-dep
[05:16] <Ketrel> Lymies: do you mean a specific program, or in general?
[05:16] <EagleScreen> i think you obtain a warning if you try to remove dpkg
[05:16] <Ketrel> Lymies: what apo said
[05:16] <nickrud> Lymies, build-essential (plus, please thing disney g rated, thanks)
[05:17] <Benj79> Thanks guys, fixed it right up
[05:17] <Rooty> Hi, how do I turn off the sound I get when my desktop first shows up after logging in?
[05:18] <werdnum> Rooty: turn your speakers off
[05:18]  * werdnum hides.
[05:18] <Flannel> werdnum: Please be helpful
[05:18] <apo> So. Prism 54 cards and hostapd, anyone? Just got myself a shiny new 2.6.29-rc2 kernel and I'm trying to setup a small wlan. hostapd runs fine, but the wlan doesn't get created... The only possibly relevant error I can see is "Failed to set beacon head/tail"
[05:18] <Rooty> werdnum troll elsewhere?
[05:18] <Flannel> Rooty: There's a sounds config that allows you to modify that.
[05:18] <redvamp128> Lymies:  I woudl have to say  sudo apt-get install build-essential flex bison xlibs-dev x11proto-gl-dev libgl1-mesa-dev fontconfig libfreetype6-dev fontforge checkinstall
[05:18] <apo> airodump-ng on another box doesn't show any packets either :|
[05:19] <Flannel> Rooty: If it's not in there, then its in login screen set up (but I believe the latter is juts for the "gdm is alive" sound)
[05:19] <werdnum> Flannel: that's what I do :D
[05:19] <Rooty> I could do it in feisty, am looking in Ibex
[05:19] <ardchoille> Rooty: System > Administration > Login Window > Accessibility tab?
[05:19] <redvamp128> Lymies:  followed by  sudo apt-get install subversion pkg-config python perl g++ g++-multilib \

[05:19] <Flannel> werdnum: Stupid answers belong in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here.
[05:19] <cweigle> Can someone tell me how to fix my wireless card? All the way up until last night it was fine, but last night it started making the system freeze with caps and numlock lights flashing, and then it would start and then turn off, the card itself. I found something similar, but it was supposedly fixed in a previous release. Anyone have an answer?
[05:20] <werdnum> Flannel: oh lighten up, I didn't hurt anything, and I've been helping people too. Plus, nobody asks questions in #ubuntu-offtopic, so I can't give stupid answers there.
[05:20] <werdnum> cweigle: That's a kernel panic, it happens to me too.
[05:20] <Rooty> ardchoille - Thanks but that does the login screen not the desktop. I'd found that already
[05:20] <EagleScreen> cweigle which card?
[05:20] <mcnellis> does anybody know what language gcalctool is written in?
[05:20] <werdnum> I don't really know how to fix it on mine, I just kinda accept it as a fact of life
[05:20] <cweigle> Linksys WPC11
[05:20] <Flannel> werdnum: Theres plenty of opportunity in -ot, and no.  Silly answers aren't what this channel is for.
[05:20] <Rooty> werdnum Sorry I snapped, I missed the joke.
[05:20] <ardchoille> Rooty: Ah, ok, it was a guess.
[05:21]  * werdnum leaves it there.
[05:21] <EagleScreen> no idea for that card
[05:21] <Benj79> QUESTION: i'm trying to install a NVIDIA video card driver package - it's giving me a permission denited error: "nvidia-installer must be run as root".   Any suggestions for this linux-newbie?
[05:21] <Benj79> *denied
[05:21] <mcnellis> oh I see it's written in C nvm thanks
[05:21] <game> emugame?
[05:21] <cweigle> I'm firewired right now, but I can't seem to find how to fix it
[05:21] <EagleScreen> !sudo | Benj79
[05:22] <ardchoille> Benj79: Any reason why you're not using the hardware drivers app?
[05:22] <Terrestrial> Ard: He probably wants a newer driver, which is understandable.
[05:22] <Benj79> from the system menu? i actually tried that, and it froze
[05:22] <joot> Benj79, you must type  sudo in front of the command
[05:22] <Benj79> but nvidia has a driver specifically for linux
[05:22] <ardchoille> Benj79: Which card?
[05:22] <Terrestrial> Benj79: Use sudo -i to become root, then type ./nvidia-installer after getting back to the right directory
[05:22] <Dr_willis> Benj79,  there seeral ways to install the nvidia drivers..

[05:23] <Terrestrial> Cellofellow, have you installed samba?
[05:23] <cellofellow> yes
[05:23] <Benj79> oh really?
[05:24] <Benj79> hhhmmmm
[05:24] <Terrestrial> Might be misconfigured.
[05:24] <redvamp128> sana:  I only know a fix for NVIDIA-- to bring the tittlebar back  in Compiz
[05:24] <sana> ya i tried that
[05:24] <sana> it didn't work
[05:24] <cellofellow> Terrestrial: maybe, seeing as Samba configuration is a real dog. I set the Workgroup setting to my workgroup.
[05:24] <joot> sana, I fixed the problem by uninstalling compiz but there are work arounds I think
[05:25] <Chaorain> I get a CRC error on my laptop when I boot ubuntu. Any clue?
[05:25] <Huene`> how do I configure Alsa after it's installed?
[05:25]  * cellofellow doesn't want to run a samba file+print sharing server, just be able to browse the network with nautilus.
[05:25] <Dr_willis> uninstalling compiz can cause issues. :)
[05:25] <cweigle> How do you fix a kernel panic?
[05:25] <Chaorain> when I use the samedisk on my desktop it works fine
[05:25] <Terrestrial> Cellofellow, have you looked in the samba.conf file?
[05:25] <Dr_willis> cellofellow,  ive had issues with the gnome file manager browsing shares.. ive had to enter the full path to the shares.. THEN the file manager wouls see them.. so i bookmarked the shares
[05:25] <sana> whats emerald,?  Would installin it fix it?
[05:26] <joot> Dr_willis, What sort of issues???

[05:26] <Lymies> how do you add something to your $PATH
[05:26] <phiqtion> !cairo-dock
[05:26] <cweigle> Can someone tell me how to fix my wireless card? All the way up until last night it was fine, but last night it started making the system freeze with caps and numlock lights flashing, and then it would start and then turn off, the card itself. I found something similar, but it was supposedly fixed in a previous release. Anyone have an answer? Oh, to get it to not lock up I selected the older kernel in the grub startup menu
[05:26] <cellofellow> Dr_willis: yeah, that works, it's just I would like to be able to browse the network.
[05:26] <tacosarecool> awn is best
[05:26] <Dr_willis> joot,  if i recall.. if youy were using compiz, then removed it.. well the users desktop is still set to 'use' compiz.. and  it can counfuse things
[05:26] <werdnum> !repeat | cweigle
[05:26] <tacosarecool> Though I can't install it right
[05:26] <tacosarecool> anyone want to help me?
[05:26] <Dr_willis> cellofellow,  ive had this bug (and others have) since  betatesting.
[05:26] <cellofellow> Terrestrial: yes, I've glanced at it. But, still, that's for the server not the client.
[05:27] <phiqtion> what is the best dock for ubuntu right now?
[05:27] <tennison> im still getting the same error "E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 resource temporarily unavailable)
[05:27] <thepxc> hey, quick question regarding a PPA: I just uploaded my first package to it (wine with a couple patches) but it doesn't yet show up on my PPA page. If I try to re-upload, dput says it was already uploaded.
[05:27] <tacosarecool> phiq awn
[05:27] <Dr_willis> phiqtion,  depends on you rneeds.. I hate them all
[05:27] <rdw200169> phiqtion, you could try cairo-dock
[05:27] <thepxc> do i just wait?
[05:27] <cellofellow> phiqtion: GNOME-Do 0.8 Alpha Docky.
[05:27] <Flannel> thepxc: #ubuntu-motu would likely be a better place to ask
[05:27] <rdw200169> phiqtion, i've been using it for about 6 mos. now, no crashes
[05:27] <Terrestrial> Cellofellow: And the workgroup in the config matched the workgroup you're trying to get to?
[05:27] <joot> Dr_willis, I think I beat that by turning off all effects before remoiving compiz <hopes>
[05:27] <Chaorain> CRC on ubuntu boot
[05:27] <cellofellow> Terrestrial: yes

[05:27] <phiqtion> rdw200169: does it intefere with xbmc?
[05:28] <Terrestrial> Cellofellow: Have you got any folders shared via SMB on your box?
[05:28] <rdw200169> phiqtion, not that i know of
[05:28] <rdw200169> phiqtion, i don't know how it would
[05:28] <cellofellow> Terrestrial: no, don't really want to share any. I still don't see how the server config effects the client.
[05:28] <Dr_willis> joot,  or install icewm, or  other window manager. :) and tell fusion-icon to  disable  compiz :)
[05:28] <monjaro> Hey.  I'm trying to set rc as my default shell, but when I do chsh and then choose rc, it says it's an invalid shell.  Why would this be?
[05:29] <Terrestrial> Cellofellow: It shouldn't but try sharing a folder to make it set up permissions
[05:29] <n8tuser> monjaro rc is a shell?
[05:29] <Terrestrial> Cellowfellow: Your user might not have an SMB user
[05:29] <Dr_willis> monjaro,  in /etc/ is a file with a list of 'allowed shells'
[05:29] <Terrestrial> Cellowfellow: Sharing a folder should automatically set that up for you.
[05:29] <selangel> ....
[05:29] <cellofellow> :/
[05:29] <Dr_willis> ive never herard of the 'rc' shell
[05:29] <cweigle> I looked again on the forums, and the problem has existed since hardy, and apparently its still not fixed, because people are still posting about it
[05:29] <monjaro> It's the plan9 shell
[05:29] <tennison> help getting updates. Just installed linux. Getting an error message saying  "E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 resource temporarily unavailable)
[05:29] <Terrestrial> After that, stop sharing the folder and it'll hopefully still be working
[05:29] <joot> Dr_willis, I mat do that if some issue arises but so far the destop is stable :-))

[05:31] <cellofellow> phiqtion: it's a bit different than the Mac-imitating docks like AWN or Cairo-Dock, as it integrates with Gnome-do with is a keyboard driven app.

[05:31] <KemrinH> Hey everyone. I'm not sure why but I can't get firefox to launch. Is there a special firefox room I should be in, or is this the right room since firefox is an application within ubuntu? Either way, there are more of you in here so I'll start here incase anyone can help.
[05:31] <Dr_willis> # /etc/shells: valid login shells
[05:32] <cellofellow> KemrinH: open a Terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and run `firefox`.
[05:32] <Shakedown> How do I get the newest version of Eclipse (Ganymede) through apt-get? I have the previous version Europa, and apt-get is telling there are no updates for it.
[05:32] <Dr_willis> monjaro,  i just looked. :)    /usr/bin/rc   Its in there
[05:32] <monjaro> Dr_willis: Thanks.  I just wanted to make sure.  I've run into problems before assuming a file is the one I'm looking for without being sure
[05:32] <kochii> its funny how android is being advertised as a google operating system when it is clearly using a linux/unix kernel
[05:32] <KemrinH> cellofellow, when I do that there isn't any response.
[05:33] <cweigle> What is a dock? God I feel stupid having to ask that but still
[05:33] <monjaro> Dr_willis: I have it install under /usr/local/plan9/bin/rc, so that was the problem.  Thanks
[05:33] <cellofellow> KemrinH: it just exits back to the prompt?
[05:33] <KemrinH> cellofellow, Yeah.
[05:33] <cellofellow> KemrinH: hmmm, not good
[05:33] <tennison> m still getting the same error "E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 resource temporarily unavailable)

[05:33] <Shakedown> Any ideas? I should be able to get it without downloading some .tar file and extracting myself huh?
[05:34] <Dr_willis> monjaro,  :) i used rc from the repos
[05:34] <Chaorain> any help with a CRC error on boot?
[05:34] <joot> Dr_willis, Plan 9 is another os yes? is he trying to run from ubuntu??
[05:34] <rdw200169> Shakedown, you could check the launchpad.net PPA's
[05:34] <KemrinH> cellofellow, yeah, no error message or anything. It makes it pretty hard for a newbie like me to fix it if it won't even tell me what's wrong when run in Terminal.
[05:34] <cellofellow> KemrinH: um, is this the Firefox from the repositories or did you install it manually?
[05:34] <nickrud> Shakedown, you're best just getting eclipse from eclipse; ubuntu is way old
[05:34] <Shakedown> I don't know what that is.  Is that going to help me get it all setup through apt-get?
[05:35] <Shakedown> nickrud: You mean the ubuntu repositories won't have the new eclipse?
[05:35] <cellofellow> Shakedown: if Eclipse has packaged their own .deb file then you're in luck.
[05:35] <zsy> haaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[05:35] <Dr_willis> joot,  it was at one time.. it has a lot of 'stuff' ported from it - to linux
[05:35] <nickrud> Shakedown, and let eclipse manage it's own packages. ubuntu has 3.2.2
[05:35] <cweigle> Ok, one last question before I go, Is there a way to downgrade your version of Ubuntu without having to lose data?
[05:35] <KemrinH> cellofellow It's the preinstalled firefox on a newly formatted Ubuntu drive. The only thing is I loaded the home file .mozilla from before the format, and it worked fine before I formatted it.
[05:35] <joot> Dr_willis, Thanks
[05:35] <Flannel> cweigle: You'd have to reinstall, downgrading isn't fun.
[05:36] <gunsaint> hello, i'm new to linux, but i thought i'd introduce myself
[05:36] <monjaro> joot: It's another OS, but there's a port of it's programs that I'm using
[05:36] <nickrud> Shakedown, ubuntu depends on debian for eclipse, and debian's always been way behind in my experience
[05:36] <Chaorain> CRC error on boot?
[05:36] <cellofellow> KemrinH: while I don't think that should make crash out of the gates, I'd do `mv .mozilla .mozilla-old` and try again.
[05:36] <Shakedown> Oh
[05:36] <joot> monjaro, ok thanks
[05:36] <Shakedown> So I should remove my current Eclipse, download the tar from Eclipse website and extract myself?
[05:37] <cellofellow> oops
[05:37] <meoblast> hi.. i'm really bad with search commands, how do i search a specific folder and it's subdirectories for a speciic folder
[05:37] <nickrud> Shakedown, I would. And I'm a confirmed card carrying extremist about only using debs from repositories ;)
[05:37] <Eritrean> Hi guys
[05:37] <joot> locate   <filename>
[05:37] <KemrinH> cellofellow Yeah, I bring my old home file every format, this isn't the usual response. Okay, I'll try that in a moment and let you know.
[05:38] <Terrestrial> cellofellow: Any luck with Samba yet?
[05:38] <cweigle> Well, since this has been a completely unhelpful night, I'm out
[05:38] <cweigle> Peace
[05:38] <cellofellow> Terrestrial: nope
[05:38] <cellofellow> Terrestrial: haven't done anything yet though ;P
[05:38] <Terrestrial> cellofellow: Temporarily setting up a share didn't help?
[05:38] <nickrud> Shakedown, it's easy enough to add a launcher to the panel, or add a link to put eclipse on the path. Once you've installed eclipse, I'd be happy to help with that
[05:39] <cellofellow> meoblast: try `find /path/to/directory -empty -name 'searchterm'
[05:39] <Shakedown> Thanks. I'm in the process of removing old and installing new.  I'll let you know if I have some path issues
[05:39] <ineedzelp> hi, i'm new to ubuntu and i've been trying to set up internet acces for 2 days without succes...can anyone help?
[05:39] <KemrinH> cellofellow No response. I realized the file was permission denied though, with only root allowed access, so I changed it and now it's asking me to create a profile
[05:39]  * cellofellow wonders what a nice, easy samba config tool might be
[05:40] <Dr_willis> ineedzelp,  let us guess.. 'wireless' ?
[05:40] <meoblast> cellofellow, nevermind.. i found it... Ubuntu was really hiding it for some reason.. i mean... ls wouldnt even find it.. thanx though
[05:40] <brolin> meoblast: find /some/dir/ -iname 'some_subdir' -type d
[05:40] <ineedzelp> nope not wireless
[05:40] <johnnnny> how can i do a full disk check (for bad sectors) in linux ?
[05:40] <Dr_willis> ineedzelp,  then please give the channel more details
[05:41] <ineedzelp> i am using a d-link network adapter, i have a toshiba satellite 2500
[05:41] <Shakedown> How do I delete a non-empty directory? rmdir won't do it will it?
[05:41] <zash_> Shakedown: rm -r
[05:41] <Dr_willis> Shakedown,  rm -rf dirname
[05:41] <brolin> meoblast: Did the name start with '.'?
[05:41] <prince_jammys> Shakedown: rm -r dir
[05:41] <rdw200169> Shakedown, rm -r
[05:42] <LtL> Shakedown: rm -rf
[05:42] <rdw200169> dang, y'all beat me
[05:42] <phrostbite> I am trying to view an mp4 file from my phone but I get a video that skips a whole bunch and there is no sound
[05:42] <meoblast> brolin, yes
[05:42] <Shakedown> Thanks. Odd rmdir wouldn't have a similar flag
[05:42] <meoblast> brolin, the FTP server wouldnt even show it when i selected show hidden in nautilus
[05:42] <Flannel> Shakedown: rm -r will suffice.  -f shouldn't normally need to be used.
[05:42] <meoblast> brolin, maybe i have my FTP configured to do that... as i just modded the default config
[05:42] <phrostbite> I am trying to view an mp4 file from my phone but I get a video that skips a whole bunch and there is no sound. I tried vlc and the default movie player that comes with ubuntu. I also downloaded a mpeg pack thing fromt he file list.
[05:43] <Eritrean> I discovered a good hourly video podcast (every Tuesday) dealing mostly with ubuntu: http://www.category5.tv/
[05:43] <DasEi> ﻿ johnnnny: check manpages of fsck, e2fsck and hdparm (carefull), maybe testdisk
[05:43] <meoblast> i think too many people know rm -rf lol
[05:43] <Dr_willis> phrostbite,  my phone saves in .gp2 / .gp3 here.. i can watch the videos in vlc.
[05:43] <phrostbite> I also have a video thats 3gp and it wont display either
[05:44] <werdnum> Dr_willis: I read that as gpl2, gpl3
[05:44] <Dr_willis> werdnum,  /gp2 and .gp3 file extensions here. :) ive been converting videos to play on my phone
[05:45] <KemrinH> cellofello Okay, I got it running. Thanks a lot for your help. ^_^
[05:45] <phrostbite> So if vlc cannot play it then I am SOL?
[05:45] <prince_jammys> phrostbite: try mplayer
[05:45] <Dr_willis> phrostbite,  try mencoder/ffmpeg to convert them perhaps
[05:45] <phrostbite> ok
[05:45] <phrostbite> How would i install those? whats the name for the sudo apt-get?
[05:46] <Dr_willis>  i would enable medibuntu and install the versions from there.
[05:46] <Dr_willis> apt-cache search ffmpeg
[05:46] <Dr_willis> apt-cache search mencoder
[05:46] <Dr_willis> winff is a handy front end to ffmpeg I think its in the repos also
[05:46] <phrostbite> So what would the full command be in the terminal?
[05:46] <prince_jammys> sudo apt-get install ffmpeg mencoder mplayer
[05:46] <Dr_willis> sudo apt-get install whatever :)
[05:46] <ineedzelp> yes i am using a d-link network adapter, and i have a toshiba satellite laptop computer with an intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection and cannot connect to internet in ubuntu...help?
[05:46]  * brolin should have installed Ubuntu 6.06 LTS instead of 6.10. (fail)
[05:47] <phrostbite> ok lol
[05:47] <Dr_willis> 6.10? :()
[05:47] <cellofellow> 6.10???????
[05:47] <cellofellow> Edgy isn't even supported, didn't know you could even download it anymore.
[05:47] <Flannel> brolin: You need to move to old-releases.ubuntu.com, then follow instructions on the upgrade page.
[05:47] <rdw200169> brolin, shoot, 6.06 stops being supported in a few months!
[05:47] <werdnum> 6.06 was an LTS, IIRC
[05:48] <Flannel> rdw200169: Only half of it.
[05:48] <werdnum> which means it gets supported for 5 years, instead of 3.
[05:48] <namasamaran> CO_RAMDAN
[05:48] <Flannel> werdnum: No, 3 Desktop / 5 Server instead of 18 months
[05:48] <lstarnes> werdnum: 3 years desktop, 5 years server
[05:48] <carlos-venezuela> hi, im using Intrepid... is anyone having trouble with wine?
[05:48] <cellofellow> isn't there a way to upgrade direct from dapper to hardy?
[05:48] <rdw200169> half?
[05:48] <brolin> Dr_willis: Yes, in 2006. :P
[05:48] <Flannel> cellofellow: Dapper to Hardy, yes.  Not Edgy to Hardy
[05:48] <cellofellow> ah....
[05:48] <Terrestrial> Ah, edgy.
[05:48] <Eritrean> Can any one tell me how I can hear the music from this ecard site (it has a midi file embedded with the gif image): http://www.123greetings.com/events/world_hello_day/hello28.html
[05:48] <Terrestrial> I remember edgy.
[05:49] <cellofellow> Edgy was fun.
[05:49] <Flannel> rdw200169: Only the desktop stuff.  Server stuff is supported until 2011
[05:49] <werdnum> Flannel: oic
[05:49] <Terrestrial> I upgraded to it from Dapper and it broke my entire installation.
[05:49] <rdw200169> Flannel, ah, i thought you were talking about a different 1/2, it was vague
[05:49] <rdw200169> Flannel, i'm assuming he's using desktop ;)
[05:49] <carlos-venezuela> im having troubles playing games on wine..
[05:49]  * cellofellow remebers Edgy, first release of Ubuntu with AIGLX included. Tried it with kwin compositing on my RIVA TNT2. fail
[05:49] <carlos-venezuela> sound stop working after a while
[05:49] <blackened> Terrestrial: that sucks. dapper to edgy was the only flawless dist-upgrade I've ever been through
[05:50] <Terrestrial> blackened: It broke gksudo :O
[05:50] <cellofellow> hardy to intrepid worked fine for me
[05:50] <blackened> Terrestrial: doh
[05:50] <Terrestrial> Blackened: That was basically the final straw for it... There were so many other broken things and as a Linux newbie I just had to reinstall :'(
[05:50] <kevin_> hey guys, i git midi playback working perfectly today
[05:50] <blackened> I haven't messed with it since then, always just do a clean install
[05:50] <onats_> !dbf
[05:51] <kevin_> got*
[05:51] <rdw200169> kevin_, congrats!
[05:51] <Terrestrial> Blackened: Oh hell yes, clean is always the way to go
[05:51] <blackened> Terrestrial: heh, I totally understand
[05:51] <rdw200169> Terrestrial, yes, i prefer keeping my /home on a separate partition so i can do that too.
[05:52] <blackened> Terrestrial: it would look like a curse, but it gives me the chance to clean out all the garbage that I've put of removing for 4 months prior
[05:52] <zhengguo> ..
[05:52] <Eritrean> Hey (12:50:54 AM) kevin_-- can you hear the music in here -- it's got midi file emdded in it: http://www.123greetings.com/events/world_hello_day/hello28.html
[05:52] <blackened> rdw200169: same here
[05:52] <Terrestrial> Blackened: I have 300GiB of data to sort through because I'm moving to the US and only want to take up to about 40GiB with me
[05:52] <Terrestrial> I know the feeling... having loads of files build up sucks. :o
[05:52] <zhengguo> haha
[05:52] <evilGUI> Hello on Ubuntu server when I do sudo apt-get upgrade I get The following packages have been kept back: linux-image-server linux-server
[05:53] <blackened> Terrestrial: ack. I hope it's all big files :)
[05:53] <evilGUI> Do I need to install those?
[05:53] <Eritrean> Help with midi
[05:53] <Flannel> evilGUI: You need to use dist-upgrade
[05:53] <phrostbite> hmmm mplayer cannot play the audio for the file :(. SO I need to convert it to something else first right?
[05:53] <Eritrean> playing on the web
[05:53] <Flannel> evilGUI: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:53] <kevin_> i haven't set up a gui player for midis yet
[05:54] <evilGUI> Flannel: Thanks
[05:54] <blackened> phrostbite: did the file play before you converted it? has it ever played correctly?
[05:54] <cellofellow> phrostbite: there's a file that mplayer can't play? what's this? (kidding a little bit of course)
[05:54] <phrostbite> It is straight from my phone lol. It's an mp4 file.
[05:54] <JustinBeaird> .nsv streams makes mplayer go zombie
[05:54] <kevin_> i installed the fluid gm soundfont and used sfxload to put it into ram. i had to increase the allowed memory in /etc/modules.d/alsa-base, and it works great in games/with pmidi on the CLI now
[05:55] <blackened> Terrestrial: 300Gb? You sound like a candidate for a file server
[05:55] <cellofellow> phrostbite: now that is strange, as normally AAC audio is just fine in mplayer.
[05:55] <nickrud> Shakedown, pm me?
[05:55] <Terrestrial> blackened: Yeah, pretty much!
[05:55] <Eritrean> I have the gecko media player plugin for midi -- but doesn't play the music
[05:55] <werdnum> Terrestrial: s3
[05:55] <Terrestrial> blackened: Most of its just games and videos... but its spread out everywhere
[05:55]  * cellofellow sees 1TB drives on newegg.com for just under $100.
[05:56] <Terrestrial> Cellowfellow: I'm in Australia, hard drives sell for ludicrous prices here at the moment
[05:56] <kevin_> i know totem offers to install codecs if you attempt to play a midi with it, but i never tried that
[05:56] <cellofellow> :(
[05:56] <Eritrean> Need help playing midi file in the browser please
[05:56] <Terrestrial> My friend paid $130 for a 500GB drive the other day
[05:56] <Terrestrial> No, wait, $160
[05:56] <cellofellow> that AU dollars?
[05:57] <zhengguo> RMB
[05:57] <blackened> Terrestrial: the only benefit of add: organisation bordering on the pathological
[05:57] <Terrestrial> blackened: and an excuse to punch people who piss you off
[05:57] <zhengguo> I can learn English here
[05:57] <Terrestrial> blackened: working in the technological world, that would be such a blessing
[05:57] <Terrestrial> =P
[05:57] <Sudaneze> hello guys , I wonder can I change my user name or hostname ?:D

[05:59] <Sudaneze> I'm fine , you
[05:59] <Eritrean> Selam
[06:00] <Eritrean> Good bro -- Kief halek inta?
[06:01] <rsteckler> I'm trying to build something on 8.1 server.  I got build-essential.  ./configure reports that it needs to be pointed to the linux source (which isn't installed).  I added source repositories, but I can't find the source for my image.  The image is a Xen VPS virtual box...Am I screwed?  Is there some generic version I can use, or a way to build this project with headers that don't match the image?
[06:01] <rsteckler> Or is that just bad bad news.
[06:01] <Sudaneze> lol , I'm good I bit arabic isn't not allowed here
[06:01] <Eritrean> Guys -- help with the midi
[06:01] <Sudaneze> [B]e [R]ight [B]ack
[06:01] <phrostbite> What program can convert mp4 files to something else?
[06:01] <Sudaneze> logoutt/in
[06:01] <Eritrean> in-browser playing
[06:02] <prince_jammys> phrostbite: mencoder and ffmpeg.  look on the web for an example
[06:02] <BAdarklighter> i just got ubuntu installed on an old dell computer, its up and running but i cant seem to get it to connect to the internet via my netgear FVS338 router even though the router is set up for DHCP. can anyone please help me ?
[06:02] <phrostbite> I dled both of those. So how do i convert with them?
[06:02] <Eritrean> Tigrigna --ትግርኛ
[06:02] <prince_jammys> phrostbite: google a 'mencoder convert mp4' for an sample command.
[06:03] <phrostbite> ok thanks
[06:03] <Eritrean> ubuntu is da greatest
[06:03] <Eritrean> can even use my language
[06:03] <Dr_willis> !find winff
[06:04] <Dr_willis> phrostbite,  or check out winff --> http://winff.org/html/downloads.html
[06:04] <BAdarklighter> anyone?
[06:05] <Eritrean> Sudaneze where u @?
[06:05] <jsj0nes> rsteckler: you need to 'apt-get source <package>' to get the source if you want to build yourself.
[06:05] <nyaa> BAdarklighter I sent a dialog to you
[06:06] <nyaa> talk in there
[06:06] <rsteckler> jsj0nes: I was thinking that.  I added the repos and added deb-src to them.  I'm not sure what <package> should be though, for the kernel source.
[06:06] <BAdarklighter> can you send it again i think i close the window accidently
[06:06] <Sudaneze> Eritrean, just minutes I'm on somthing
[06:06] <jsj0nes> rsteckler: what package are you trying to build?
[06:07] <balrog__> i just tried to setup a zfs pool but all of the files i saved there (they were just testing files) are gone after a reboot.  how do i get the drive to mount to the same spot every time?  what are the fstab entries?
[06:07] <rsteckler> fuse.  ./configure says "Please specify the location of the kernel source with --withkernel=srcdir"
[06:07] <jeeves_Moss> has anyone solved the screen freezing issue with nVidia cards?
[06:07] <rsteckler> I have the source for fuse.  I'm guessing that no matter what I try to build, I'll get that error, though
[06:08] <sukiminna> at last ...i got myself a new lappy..:D
[06:08] <phrostbite> Here is another odd question. Can i install an application and use it in wine?
[06:08] <nickrud> rsteckler, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[06:08] <blackened> sukiminna: nice, what'd you get?
[06:08] <phrostbite> Like real player and stuff?
[06:08] <GreedyB1> Could someone help me with nm-applet.  It keeps asking me for a password for my keyring... never seen that before
[06:08] <sukiminna> blackened: juz a cheap one
[06:08] <nickrud> rsteckler, that's needed for compiling stuff that will be inserted into the kernel
[06:08] <sukiminna> but now can turn on the effect
[06:08] <Eritrean> Sudaneze how do u get the Arabic font?
[06:09] <rsteckler> nickrud: .  Already tried that.  It cant' find the headers for my image (prob bacuse this is a VPS box under a virtual machine)
[06:09] <prince_jammys> phrostbite: you can check in wine-hq if the app runs properly under wine, or try it yourself
[06:09] <phrostbite> Ok thank you
[06:09] <sukiminna> blackened: acer 4935g
[06:09] <Burning> could some one help me
[06:09] <Burning> KDE4 cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)
[06:09] <Burning> i keep getting this error
[06:09] <nickrud> rsteckler, hm, you using a special kernel? Not that I've got an answer, it's an interesting problem
[06:10] <rsteckler> nickrud: uname -r is:  2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen
[06:10] <Psychomaniak> hello. I am a newbie with ubuntu. I have an old machine with a mobility radeon 7000 video card. I was wondering why the image quality isn't as good as it was with "Windows"
[06:10] <rsteckler> And this is 8.10 Server.  So how the image is .18 is....whatever
[06:10] <JustinBeaird> what do i need to config an airbridge by smartbridges?
[06:10] <joot> Help please this is the terminal message from freedroidRPG   http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/109235/
[06:10] <jsj0nes> rsteckler: that's an old kernel.
[06:11] <Shakedow1> If I'm in a directory and I want to mv something from somewhere else to the current location, what do I use as the DEST?
[06:11] <sukiminna> Psychomaniak: maybe u didnt install the driver for it
[06:11] <Psychomaniak> isn't the hardware update supposed to do it?
[06:11] <rsteckler> jsj0nes: I know.  I'm not sure if I should (can?) replace it though.  It's a vps box.  That "xen" at the end is a vrirtual machine...
[06:11] <nickrud> rsteckler, what release of ubuntu is that
[06:11] <rsteckler> I have no idea what would happen if I go replacing the kernel image.
[06:11] <sukiminna> Psychomaniak: try install envyng and install the driver for ati
[06:11] <rsteckler> nickrud: 8.1 server.
[06:12] <Psychomaniak> did that... the system crashed on me...
[06:12] <Burning> sukiminna
[06:12] <rsteckler> I may have better luck in the VPS forums.  Hopefully one of their admins will know what I'm talking about...
[06:12] <Burning> can u help me
[06:12] <sukiminna> the x.org?
[06:12] <prince_jammys> joot: did you install the packages related to 'freedroid'? (freedroid-data, freedroid-rpg-data ...)
[06:13] <sukiminna> Burning: depends on wat kind of problem u have
[06:13] <Psychomaniak> i read a lot, but i don't think that envy, x.org, or even Xfree86 have it.. it's an old machine after all
[06:13] <jsj0nes> rsteckler: yeah...sorry, I don't have much experience with virtual servers...
[06:13] <rsteckler> yea.  me Either  =)
[06:13] <Eritrean> Antone has a good handle on playing midi file in-browser?
[06:14] <sukiminna> maybe have to find the driver source and compile with kernel yourself..
[06:14] <Eritrean> Merhaba Sudanese

[06:19] <KemrinH> prince_jammys Every file and subfolder and sub-subfolder inside of a folder
[06:19] <prince_jammys> KemrinH: to what permissions?
[06:20] <Eritrean> Well unsupported I should say
[06:20] <Dr_willis> easy in linux - is often impossible in windows. :)
[06:20] <JustinBeaird> why does secret maryo chronicles activate expo?
[06:20] <KemrinH> prince_jammys So that Jacob can read and write, and create a delete
[06:20] <Dr_willis> KemrinH,  most commands have a -R or -r option for 'recursive'
[06:20] <nyaa> what commands should you use if ifconfig doesn't see your nic?
[06:20] <KemrinH> Dr_willis Thanks ^_^
[06:20] <prince_jammys> KemrinH: so ... world access to all the files?
[06:20] <nyaa> or how would the best way to go about troubleshooting that be?
[06:21] <KemrinH> prince_jammys No, just for me.

[06:22] <Itacious> chronofire, system > administration > system monitor
[06:22] <Monk2> anyone care to help out with a sound problem:
[06:23] <jsj0nes> KemrinH: did you need to change perms or owner?
[06:23] <KemrinH> jsj0nes Hmm, both I think.
[06:23] <chronofire> itacious, thanks
[06:23] <prince_jammys> KemrinH: why are they root's?
[06:23] <sukiminna> blackened: its not that bad. intel intergrated graphic card?
[06:24] <blackened> Methinx: your xorg.conf is basically empty then?
[06:24] <Itacious> no problem. :-D
[06:24] <MethinX> well no, it has stuff in it
[06:24] <jopa> I just got a Lacie external hd and I'm trying to delete the default partition system with its auto start stuff and make it just plain fat32 but gparted keeps throwing errors. Any ideas?
[06:24] <MethinX> here Ill private chat you the tech stuff inside it
[06:24] <blackened> sukiminna: yeah, other than that it's not so bad, and even still it can drive a 22" external at 1680x1050, so no real complaints. I love my eee more though, using it now
[06:25] <jsj0nes> KemrinH: to change perms you need 'chmod -R <perms> <dir>' to change owner follow Dr_willis suggestion.
[06:25] <sukiminna> why i cant install the latest nvidia driver..rite im using 173.14.12...
[06:25] <prince_jammys> after moving INTO the dir
[06:25] <blackened> Methinx: xorg.conf should be empty by default on 8.10 apart from the auto-configured stuff, which really doesn't do anything
[06:25] <Monk2> I can uninstall these packages "sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils" and reinstall them and reboot the sound works fine, but after another reboot the sound is gone again.?
[06:26] <KemrinH> prince_jammys Their root because I took them from my old home folder and brought them into my freshly formated computer. When they arrived they were Root permissioned and ownered
[06:26] <tacosarecool> hello
[06:26] <sukiminna> if i install 177.x.x.x cant boot into gui
[06:26] <KX> How do I tell Ubuntu which screen to put the panels on when I've got two monitors? It's putting them on my old CRT not my LCD
[06:26] <tacosarecool> Can you help me with awn doc
[06:26] <MethinX> so i should delete the information in my xorg.conf file?
[06:26] <tacosarecool> k
[06:26] <KemrinH> jsj0nes Thanks so much to both of you, you've been a big help.
[06:26] <KX> like to set the default monitor, it's thinking VGA is the default but DVI is
[06:27] <blackened> Methinx: no, it's not hurting anything the way it is, I just wanted to know if you had manually edited or not
[06:27] <MethinX> no i have not
[06:27] <blackened> Methinx: have you had your desired resolution working before on this setup?
[06:27] <jsj0nes> KemrinH: no problem.  For the details suggest 'man chmod' and 'man chown'
[06:27] <prince_jammys> KemrinH: sudo chown -R jacob:jacob /path/to/dir
[06:28] <MethinX> yes, it works all the time, but when i reboot it reverts back to 1024x768
[06:30] <JustinBeaird> what do i need to config an airbridge by smartbridges?
[06:32] <hyu__> c500
[06:32] <Itacious> Hey all. I am looking for a way to force the resolution of a single monitor. I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 w/ ATI X1300 (if I remember correctly) GPU running Intrepid. I am using the open source driver. The laptop screen is now 1280x800 (which is correct), but the external monitor is set at 1280x960, when the optimal res is 1280x1024, which is not on the list. I have peeked at my xorg.conf, but it is set at a virtual resolution. Here is 
[06:32] <sukiminna> #windows7
[06:32] <Itacious> TRAITOR
[06:32] <JustinBeaird> lol
[06:32] <Itacious> lol jk
[06:32] <sukiminna> hahaha..
[06:34] <Itacious> yeah, I tried the beta, was pretty cool. But your supposed to use it for testing purposes only. So it didn't stay on there long.
[06:34] <Itacious> On there hdd I mean.
[06:34] <sukiminna> yep...but alot has been improve i think compared to vista
[06:34] <aries> hyyyyyyyyyy
[06:35] <aries> hy
[06:35] <JustinBeaird> not as much as ubuntu thow :)
[06:35] <Itacious> lol. the pc i ran it on gave a Windows Experience score of 2.4 or something.
[06:35] <sukiminna> hey 8.10 also improve alot
[06:35] <Itacious> max being 7.9
[06:35] <sukiminna> i dun have to wvdial to set my broadband usb modem anymore :D
[06:35] <FoxBlitzz> Itacious: I got 4.9
[06:36] <FoxBlitzz> sukiminna: I dunno, I honestly consider 8.10 being the Vista, and 9.04 being the upcoming Win7
[06:36] <FoxBlitzz> Lack of display utility, etc., but they did lay some groundwork for future expansion
[06:36] <Itacious> I'm-ah gonna get a Mac this year, it'll be MUCH more powerful than any computer we have now.
[06:37] <sukiminna> before this im not really sure to upgrade from 8.04..
[06:37] <Itacious> AND it can run linux and windows to boot.
[06:37] <FoxBlitzz> Itacious: I'm really not into Apple. I'd just prefer to hand-pick some nice components myself
[06:38] <sukiminna> FoxBlitzz: hehe
[06:38] <FoxBlitzz> Perhaps one of the least advertised performance factors is in memory speed/latency
[06:38] <JustinBeaird> apple is over rated
[06:38] <Itacious> FoxBlitzz: the pc i ran it on is 2.something GHz solo-core amd w/ 1 gb ram, 128mb ati pci-e.
[06:38] <Itacious> before i upgraded the video card it was intergrated.
[06:38] <Itacious> :P
[06:39] <tacosarecool> hello
[06:39] <Itacious> Yeah, but your only supposed to run OS X on a mac, so...
[06:39] <mnguyen> How do I get bitchx to show up in apt? I already added universe to my sources.list
[06:39] <Itacious> and don't give me any OS X86/hackintosh crap.
[06:39] <prince_jammys> mnguyen: i thought bitchx was history
[06:39] <sukiminna> sudo apt-get update
[06:39] <Itacious> ...
[06:40] <Gerinych> can you make a pidgin conversation window flash on a taskbar or something when someone messages you?
[06:40] <mnguyen> prince_jammys, haven't used any flavor of linux for like a year... what's another good irc client i can run from the terminal?
[06:40] <comodo> can someone help me with a dual monitor setup problem
[06:40] <FoxBlitzz> You'd be surprised how much it has an effect on performance
[06:40] <prince_jammys> mnguyen: i don't think bitchx exists any more
[06:40] <prince_jammys> mnguyen: irssi
[06:40] <Itacious> From what i've heard OS X is the cat's pajamas.
[06:40] <mnguyen> prince_jammys, thanks
[06:40] <sukiminna> why wanna use bitchx?
[06:41] <Itacious> And if i don't like OS X i can boot windows and/or linux
[06:41] <mnguyen> cause I don't like xchat :)
[06:41] <prince_jammys> mnguyen: irssi is pretty much the most popular cli client
[06:41] <tacosarecool> How do I get my my awn dock working
[06:41] <brodymcd> can anyone please help me - I can't see mshome shared folders with 8.10 - I could in 8.04
[06:41] <mnguyen> prince_jammys, thanks for the info
[06:41] <mnguyen> prince_jammys, do you have a recommendation for a terminal emulator?
[06:41] <sukiminna> theres another choice if bitchx doesnt exist anymore..
[06:41] <Itacious> gerinych, i think so. check your pidgin plugins.
[06:42] <kalvin_> anyone know how ot change the permissions of my /opt folder?
[06:42] <Itacious> gah, why is the apple keyboard so weird??
[06:42] <FoxBlitzz> Itacious: I can't stand some of OS X's design decisions. That, and I tried someone's MacBook once and found it locking up every few minutes displaying the Spinning Pinwheel of Death
[06:42] <prince_jammys> mnguyen: i use konsole and xterm.
[06:42] <sukiminna> maybe install a firefox plugin..chatzilla..im using it now
[06:42] <mnguyen> prince_jammys, kubuntu?
[06:42] <sukiminna> coz i dun like xchat too..:D
[06:42] <prince_jammys> mnguyen: rxvt or urxvt is good also.
[06:42] <tacosarecool> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109262/
[06:42] <tacosarecool> I tried that I'm getting errors
[06:42] <Itacious> FoxBlitzz. what version os x was it?
[06:42] <FoxBlitzz> 10.5
[06:42] <prince_jammys> mnguyen: originally kubuntu, but now i run fluxbox. i do have some kde apps, though
[06:42] <Itacious> =-O Really?
[06:43] <Itacious> :-/
[06:43] <tacosarecool> I quit kde4!
[06:43] <tacosarecool> congrats gnome you have a new community member!
[06:43] <Gerinych> itacious: i see buddy state notification, but this only says when someone's logged in or logged out, i never noticed it do anything though
[06:43] <sukiminna> tacosarecool: why wats wrong..?
[06:43] <sukiminna> :)
[06:43] <blackened> tacosarecool: welcome to the dark side
[06:44] <sukiminna> blackened: hehe
[06:44] <Itacious> kde4.1 is not enough for me, and kde4.2 crashes. A L O T.
[06:44] <mnguyen> prince_jammys, yeah i decided to install openbox; i'm simply leveraging ubuntu's repositories :)
[06:44] <sukiminna> blackened: darkside?
[06:44] <Itacious> but they're supposed to release a "stable" version in a few days.
[06:44] <zeb> ok had my wireless card working and did a restart and now it wont work
[06:44] <blackened> sukiminna: it sounded good didn't it?
[06:44] <prince_jammys> mnguyen: heh. well, konsole suits me fine ... slow to start up, like many kde apps. but pretty nice otherwise
[06:45] <Gerinych> itacious: ok, i think i found it
[06:45] <zeb> ok had my wireless card working and did a restart and now it wont work any help
[06:45] <mnguyen> prince_jammys, thanks i'll give rxvt or urxvt a try
[06:45] <FoxBlitzz> I wanna see KDE4 being like KDE3.5. Swift, useful and robust with features
[06:45] <prince_jammys> mnguyen: those are lighter
[06:45] <FoxBlitzz> But it's not like that yet
[06:45] <mnguyen> prince_jammys, do either of them have tabs?
[06:45] <Monk2> Anyone have time to help with a sound problem?
[06:46] <tacosarecool> kde4 is laggy
[06:46] <prince_jammys> mnguyen: i don't remember. you may want something like konsole (or gnome-terminal) for that
[06:46] <tacosarecool> and slow
[06:46] <tacosarecool> and can't run certain things
[06:46] <kalvin_> if i do chmod to a root folder, all folders within it have the same permissions right?
[06:46] <prince_jammys> mnguyen: i run everything inside of 'screen' so i don't use tabs
[06:46] <Itacious> I wish yahoo widgets would work under Wine. I've heard the made it so it wouldn't work on purpose.
[06:46] <Itacious> *they
[06:46] <cwillu> !eeepc
[06:46] <blackened> tacosarecool: I was curious to see kde4, but didn't wanna sit through downloading the packages
[06:46] <ohhai> How do I upgrade OpenOffice.org to the 3rd version?
[06:47] <ohhai> (I tried upgrading all software, still ended up with 2.4)
[06:47] <Itacious> does anybody know of a good Lucida Grande alternative, e.g. free, non-warez?
[06:48] <Itacious> Don't give me a link to a pirated version.
[06:48] <blackened> ohhai: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml
[06:48] <prince_jammys> Itacious: it's not in the msttfonts package?
[06:49] <Itacious> Lucida Grande is the main font in OS X's interface beautiful, it is.
[06:49] <blackened> Itacious: pretty sure you have to buy a license for lucida grande, or grab it from another OS install you might have
[06:49] <blackened> I've never found a legitimate version of it on the web, not that it's not out there
[06:49] <Itacious> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucida_Grande
[06:50] <Itacious> blackened, i know you need a license.
[06:50] <tacosarecool> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109262/
[06:50] <tacosarecool> look at this paste please
[06:50] <Itacious> What I am talking about is a free /alternative/
[06:50] <tacosarecool> I tried installing it didn't work
[06:50] <zeb> anyone help me with wireless problem i had it working did a restart and now it wont work
[06:50] <Itacious> like dejavu sans.
[06:50] <ohhai> blackened: Thanks.
[06:50] <Itacious> or BitStream Vera Sans Mono.
[06:51] <FoxBlitzz> I personally prefer my interfaces sharp and practical.
[06:51] <FoxBlitzz> I don't mind an interface looking nice, but it shouldn't harm the practicality in any way
[06:51] <Itacious> prince_jammys: I do not know if OEM licenses apply for msttfonts, and i don't want to download it whithout one.
[06:51] <FoxBlitzz> EG. An interface hiding information to make other elements appear larger on the screen
[06:52] <tacosarecool> anyone help me?
[06:52] <FoxBlitzz> Itacious: OEM?
[06:52] <FoxBlitzz> Heh, I just took my Windows font folder and dumped it into my Linux install
[06:53] <prince_jammys> tacosarecool: what's that URL doing in the command-line?
[06:53] <Itacious> Also, msttfonts may include segioe ui, etc. (vista fonts) which i don't have vista. It's a big legal mess. So i'm not downloading at this time.
[06:53] <tacosarecool> It's not
[06:53] <prince_jammys> tacosarecool: what are you trying to install? avant-window navigator?
[06:53] <tacosarecool> But the command in the paste
[06:53] <tacosarecool> yes
[06:53] <prince_jammys> !awn
[06:53] <tacosarecool> but its a curved dock
[06:53] <tacosarecool> it's special
[06:54] <FoxBlitzz> Call me evil, but I prefer a Windows-style panel. :S
[06:54] <nyaa> tacosarecool: did you try installing it from add/remove programs?
[06:54] <FoxBlitzz> I just can't work without text labels, man.
[06:55] <ardchoille> I'd like to install a dock launcher that doesn't require compositing. I can't seem to get rid of the black bg in simdock. Any advice?
[06:55] <Dr_willis> ardchoille,  wbar dosent - i think.
[06:55] <tacosarecool> simdock is terrible
[06:55] <tacosarecool> it says so on linuxowns.com
[06:55] <ardchoille> Dr_willis: how do I install wbar and wbarconf?
[06:55] <Dr_willis> tacosarecool,  so it has to be true
[06:55] <prince_jammys> ardchoille: there's also kooldock
[06:55] <Dr_willis> ardchoille,  no idea. :) check the repos, check PPA, check the homepage
[06:56] <jeeves_Moss> how do I track down why compiz keeps locking up and/or cracshing my system
[06:56] <ardchoille> prince_jammys: kooldock pulls in a bunch of kde junk
[06:56] <prince_jammys> ardchoille: yes
[06:57] <nyaa> tacosarecool: try installing it through applications > add/remove programs
[06:57] <jeeves_Moss> how do I track down why compiz keeps locking up and/or cracshing my system
[06:57] <nyaa> tacosarecool: search for it under avant, its there for me in 8.10
[06:58] <tacosarecool> just search for awn
[06:58] <jeeves_Moss> how do I track down why compiz keeps locking up and/or cracshing my system
[06:59] <prince_jammys> jeeves_Moss: try #compiz-fusion also
[07:00] <jeeves_Moss> prince_jammys,   thanks.
[07:02] <brodymcd> could someone pretty please with sugar on top help me connect to my windows xp share with 8.10? I would be SO grateful... :)
[07:02] <Dr_willis> brodymcd,  in the gnome file manager - i have to enter the full path to the remote share.. for some reason..
[07:03] <Dr_willis> brodymcd,  as in --> smb://fileserver/sharename/
[07:03] <JustinBeaird> also do you have firestarter or ufw runing?
[07:03] <JustinBeaird> blocking it
[07:03] <Gerinych> how do i install new applets in awn?
[07:03] <brodymcd> drwillis - how do I know what the full path is?
[07:03] <sukiminna> does anyone  know how can i capture a pict from webcam in ubuntu8.10
[07:04] <ohhai> How do I get Windows/Mac fonts installed?
[07:04] <skate2> why is apache2 installed by default in ubuntu 8.10 but there's no httpd.conf file?
[07:04] <ohhai> Specifically, for openoffice.
[07:04] <sukiminna> i heard there is issues with webcam support in 8.10 is it true?
[07:05] <nickrud> skate2, in debian/ubuntu the http.conf is built on the fly from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled, mods-enabled, conf.d/*, and a couple others
[07:06] <nickrud> skate2, it's done that way to allow other packages to easily add their configs; for example phpmyadmin drops a link in conf.d/ and poof, it's configured.
[07:06] <nickrud> skate2, a2enmod a2dismod a2ensite a2dissite are useful commands
[07:06] <skate2> so what do i edit to configure apache?
[07:06] <nickrud> ohhai, sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[07:07] <nickrud> skate2, what are you modifying?
[07:07] <nickrud> skate2, or, what mods to you want to make
[07:07] <brodymcd> how can I manually enter the path for samba share?
[07:08] <skate2> nickrud i want to configure php file extention support
[07:08] <nickrud> skate2, the general answer is add some config file to conf.d/ , and restart apache. But take a look at mods-available/* , if there's a mod there then just run sudo a2enmod php5 and restart apache
[07:09] <ardchoille> Dr_willis: Got wbar installed, thanks for the info :)
[07:09] <skate2> thanks
[07:10] <nickrud> skate2, it makes sense, once you've looked through the files. Makes admin very easy
[07:10] <Bossmanbeta> in my .screenrc is there a variable to set the background color in "hardstatus string" to green?
[07:10] <skate2> ok
[07:11] <skate2> is there a keyboard shortcut to bring up the gnome system menu for 'applications', 'places', 'system' menus?
[07:11] <cwillu> alt+f1
[07:11] <skate2> thanks
[07:12] <werdnum> cwillu: neat, I didn't know that.
[07:12] <sukiminna> me too
[07:12] <danes_> how can I install my wireless card ipw2200? It is not recognized, should I use ndiswrapper?
[07:12] <nickrud> try alt-f7 and alt-f8 , very useful sometimes
[07:12] <sukiminna> mengantuknya..:-s
[07:13] <Adrian2MiL8> hi ,how can change the start priority in the rcS.d of firestarter and networking items ? anyone known ?
[07:13] <jsj0nes> cwillu: thanks...even works on my HP mini 1000 (w/ HP's Ubuntu UI)
[07:13] <kevdog> Adrian2MiL8: You mean the run level?
[07:13] <cwillu> heh
[07:13] <nickrud> Adrian2MiL8, why would you want to do that? A lot of services have priorities based on those values
[07:14] <sukiminna> nickrud: i juz hold alt and click the window:)
[07:14] <nickrud> sukiminna, my mouse broke once. Very Useful :)
[07:14] <sukiminna> ic...:)
[07:14] <Adrian2MiL8> kevdog> hmm ...not ..the problem is a error on boot process because firestarter exit with error 2
[07:14]  * nickrud will never admit it was because he threw it across the room because he died in wow
[07:15] <sukiminna> nickrud: yep come to think of it for emergency very neat
[07:15] <Adrian2MiL8> kevdog>this is because firestarter try to load before networking up the interfaces
[07:16] <Adrian2MiL8> i need change networking form 40 to 65 and firestarter from 65 to 40 but update-rc.d not accpet me the command
[07:16] <kevdog> Adrian2MiL8: So you could try adding a sleep statement in the file, or use the program update-rc.d that would change the run level for you -- in fact that is the recommended way
[07:16] <danes_> any one knows how can I configure the ipw2200 wireless card on a laptop?
[07:16] <kevdog> danes_: Be more specific -- configure the driver or connect to a network
i try with update-rc.d firestarter S 40 but not work
[07:17] <hlfshell> Hey - how can I prevent a program from starting up on startup? I keep getting an error message due to not having a program that Ijust wanna get rid of....
[07:17] <Dr_willis> !autostart
[07:17] <kevdog> Adrian2MiL8: What error do you get -- or what does it say in the logs about the error?
[07:18] <hlfshell> I'm using the netbook remix Dr_willis and do not have preferences-> sessions.....
[07:18] <capi_chopy> test
[07:18] <danes_> kevdog, I just installed ubuntu, but my network card is not recognized. It is a ipw2200
 wait me a second ... i copy and paste the error
[07:18] <IndyGunFreak> hlfshell: well, you do, you just have to find it.
[07:18] <Dr_willis> hlfshell,   No idea then..    you could always run the sessionmanager tool from the command line.. if ya knew its name.
[07:19] <hlfshell> hmmmm ill do some digging... thanks guys

[07:19] <hlfshell> second question - how do i turn off the gnome key ring?
[07:19] <hlfshell> i raelly do hate that thing.
[07:19] <hlfshell> or at the very least - make it stop bugging me for pwords
[07:19]  * kevdog Knew that was going to happen with the cut and paste thing :(
[07:19] <Dr_willis> hlfshell,  run  gnome-session-properties    perhaps?
[07:19] <hlfshell> ill try that, thanks Dr_willis
[07:19] <IndyGunFreak> hlfshell: try running this in command line... gnome-session-properties
[07:19] <hlfshell> thanks IndyGunFreak
[07:19] <Dr_willis> hlfshell,  what is running that you dont want?
[07:20] <hlfshell> evolution... but i found the sessions toolbar
[07:20] <hlfshell> now to find evolution....
[07:20] <a931bw> What is sawfish?
[07:20] <achilles> hello, I come everyday morning see my system completely frozen, no responding till I hardly shutdown, how can I know the reason behind this problem
 this is the output
[07:20] <hlfshell> hmmmm evolution is not in the startup sequence menu thingy.....
[07:20] <prince_jammys> a931bw: a window manager
[07:21] <hlfshell> so how do iget this thign to stop bugging me abotu evolution everytime i log in?
[07:21] <a931bw> i'm installed that bu " apt-get install sawfish
[07:21] <Dr_willis> a931bw,  sawfish is a light window manager. that is very scriptable
[07:22] <IndyGunFreak> hlfshell: uninstall evolution?
[07:22] <Dr_willis> a931bw,  if you want to learn/use lisp that is..:)
[07:22] <hlfshell> IndyGunFreak -  i think it already is...
[07:22] <IndyGunFreak> hlfshell: obviously not completely, go through synaptic package manager, find anything w/ evolution, and uninstall it.
[07:23] <KRaZy_WaKa> have a hawking tech hwu8dd hi-gain usb dish wireless adapter worked as soon as i plugged it in under an older version of ubuntu but not under hardy... why not? and how do i get it to work under hardy?
[07:23] <hlfshell> boo... thats annoying, but ok ill try. thanks IndyGunFreak
[07:24] <dobblego> is it possible to use a scanner over a network?
[07:24] <hlfshell> OK found it IndyGunFreak - Conduit, a program that comes with netbook remix, depends on evolution
[07:24] <Dr_willis> dobblego,  you could vnc to the remote boxc with the scanner and run the scanner via vnc. :) ive done that befor
[07:24] <IndyGunFreak> hlfshell: i figured something was there causing it... glad yuo got it resolved
[07:24] <a931bw> Can i'm start my linux with KDE?
[07:24] <a931bw> ?
[07:25] <dobblego> Dr_willis, that's what I already do - a bit annoying :)
[07:25] <IndyGunFreak> a931bw: i don't see why not..
[07:25] <a931bw> And How then>
[07:25] <Dr_willis> dobblego,  ive seen some scanners that are networkable..but imnot sure how they aork
[07:25] <IndyGunFreak> a931bw: what do you mean how?
[07:25] <Dr_willis> a931bw,  install kde.. select kde at the login screen.
[07:25] <hlfshell> well the problem is it wants to use 116 megs to install that crap... hmmm
[07:25] <hlfshell> what the hell is Conduit anyway?
[07:26] <IndyGunFreak> !info conduit
[07:26] <a931bw> apt-get install kde?
[07:26] <prince_jammys> a931bw: kubuntu-desktop
[07:26] <hlfshell> hmmmm not something im interested in, so i might just remove that....
[07:26] <Adrian2MiL8> hi ,how can change the start priority in the rcS.d of firestarter and networking items ? anyone known ?
[07:26] <a931bw> apt-get install kde is ok?
[07:27] <Flannel> a931bw: kubuntu-desktop not kde
[07:27] <cwillu> !info x11vnc
[07:27] <Sudanese> !info network-manager-applet
[07:27] <Sudanese> :/
[07:27] <rww> !info nm-applet | Sudanese
[07:27] <sukiminna> a931bw: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop kdm
[07:27] <skate2> how do  you scroll up in gnome terminal with the keyboard? shift+pgup doesnt work
[07:27] <a931bw> Why kde bad?
[07:28] <a931bw> "apt-get install kde"  Why that's bad?
[07:28] <prince_jammys> a931bw: because 'kde' is not the name of the package
[07:28] <Dr_willis> a931bw,  that wont get the full kubuntu-desktop :)
[07:28] <Flannel> a931bw: You'd be better off with kubuntu-desktop instead of kde
[07:28] <rww> !info network-manager-gnome | Sudanese: nm-applet is in this package
[07:29] <Sudanese> :)
[07:29] <Sudanese> thanks
[07:29] <IndyGunFreak> use wicd, its truly awesome.
[07:29] <nyaa> how does the command to remote login to another computer at a different ip address go?
[07:29] <IndyGunFreak> !info wicd
[07:29] <a931bw> Why sudo i'm on root anyway
[07:29] <IndyGunFreak> eh.
[07:29] <coffeetopia> Hello. Embarassing noob question; while updating my first(!) Ubuntu install I get "Error", then "E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[07:29] <coffeetopia> E: Unable to lock the download directory" ---What am I missing? Do I have a setting mis-set? Mis-set?!?! Thats not a word...  Thanks in advance!!
[07:29] <cojones> any dosbox users in here?
[07:29] <sukiminna> lol ubottu
[07:30] <IndyGunFreak> coffeetopia: you probably have synaptic running, while trying to run an install..
[07:30] <IndyGunFreak> coffeetopia: or maybe you're doing updates.
[07:30] <syockit> my sudoers gone corrupt. Can anyone introduce me to live distro with ext4 for system recovery?
[07:30] <rww> IndyGunFreak: wicd isn't in the repositories yet. There are download instructions on wicd's website.
[07:30] <kevdog> nyaa What do you want to do -- use samba or something or ssh?
[07:30] <IndyGunFreak> coffeetopia: only 1 thing using root can run at a time.
[07:30] <seektherapy>  I have a soundcard problem
[07:30] <Sudanese> IndyGunFreak, what is wicd?
[07:30] <IndyGunFreak> rww: yeah, i forgot about that...
[07:30] <rww> IndyGunFreak: I think Jaunty has it in the repositories, though :D
[07:30] <seektherapy> can someone help me
[07:30] <IndyGunFreak> Sudanese: its an alternative network manager.... i think its better.. google it for their homepage.
[07:30] <nyaa> kevdog ssh is text only or is it graphical?
[07:30] <Flannel> coffeetopia: He means only one thing can use apt at a time.
[07:30] <coffeetopia> IndyGunFreak: Thanks.. I'll check...
[07:30] <seektherapy> I see the icon on the top right but when i click on it i get the error "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found"
[07:31] <Adrian2MiL8> hi ,how can change the start priority in the rcS.d of firestarter and networking items ? anyone known ?
[07:31] <IndyGunFreak> Flannel: hmm, yeah that is what i meant..lol, don't know why i said root.
[07:31] <Sudanese> can I've them both ? I mena NM and this wicd ?
[07:31] <bullgard4> In OpenOffice.org Writer 2.4.1 I am trying to delete many occurrences of text of the form '(01:01:47 PM) nick: '. In Find and Replace I assert 'Regular expression'. Find and Replace > Search for: '(* PM) ' does not find anything. Why is that so?
[07:31] <rww> Sudanese: nope. Installing one will remove the other, because they step on each others' toes if they're both installed.
[07:31] <nyaa> kevdog: I don't care what the means are, I was given a username and pw and an ip address, and I want to be able to see graphics.
[07:31] <IndyGunFreak> Sudanese: if i'm not mistaken, nm doen't load when wicd loads.. (wicd takes over for nm-applet)... i personally like wicd better, but its strictly preference
[07:31] <prince_jammys> bullgard4: put a dot before the *
[07:32] <Sudanese> I'll try it thanks
[07:32] <rww> IndyGunFreak, Sudanese: The wicd and network manager packages conflict, so installing one will actually remove the other, not just disable it.
 in /etc/rc#.d the ##'s in the names are the order they are ran.
[07:32] <dsnyders> Hi all.  Neither grub halt nor grub halt --no-apm power off my laptop.  Any suggestions?
[07:32] <IndyGunFreak> Sudanese: if you gootle their homepage, they ahve an intrepid repository available that you can add to your source list, so it will be easy to install.
[07:32] <Sudanese> ok I'm on it
[07:32] <IndyGunFreak> rww: hm, it nm-applet still shows installe don my system
[07:33] <bullgard4> prince_jammys: When I put a dot (full stop) before the * I obtain the same result.
[07:33] <kevdog> nyaa:  You need to be more specific -- You can use VNC or tunnel X over ssh or other such programs
[07:33] <kevdog> nyaa: FreeNx
[07:33] <nyaa> kevdog: does the other user have to have the same program?
the higher numbers load before or not ??
[07:33] <syockit> can i mount a swap and use its disk space?
[07:33] <cojones> anyone experiencing DOSBox problems under Ibex?
[07:34] <rww> syockit: Use the swapon command; see "man swapon"
[07:34] <Dr_willis> Adrian2MiL8,  they go from high to low...    S01policykit     first  S99XXXXXXX last
[07:34] <Adrian2MiL8> .the problem is a error on boot process because firestarter exit with error 2
[07:34] <kevdog> nyaa:  Again you need to be more specific what you want to do or tell me about an equivalent windows program
[07:34] <Dr_willis> or was that low to high? :) heh i forget... they go in numerical order.
[07:34] <Adrian2MiL8> this si because firestarter try to load before networking up the interface
[07:34] <rww> Adrian2MiL8: S01 is first, S99 is last.
[07:35] <kevdog> Adrian2MiL8: I have no idea why you are using Firestarter with ufw around!
[07:35] <Dr_willis> Adrian2MiL8,  set the S##friestarter or whateverits called to be S99whatever then
[07:35] <JustinBeaird> gufw
[07:35] <Dr_willis> which seems weird that such a obvious bug would  exi
[07:35] <Dr_willis> which seems weird that such a obvious bug would  exist
[07:35] <JustinBeaird> if you need a gui
[07:35] <skate2> how do  you scroll up in gnome terminal with the keyboard?
[07:36] <dsnyders> syockit, No.  Swap is used by the kernel to provide virtual memory.  It is not a file system, and it is not moutnable.
[07:36] <nyaa> kevdog: there's a guy that wants me to see his dock and fix it, graphical things like that.  So I'd need to be able to see his desktop
i have S40networking and S65firestarter and i want put in reverse S40firestarter and S65networking
[07:36] <kevdog> nyaa:  So you want a remote desktop program I am gathering?
[07:37] <Dr_willis> Adrian2MiL8,  s65 starts AFTER the S40  - so i  think you may be   incorrect in your diagonisis.. you could set firestarter to be S99firestarter
[07:37] <rww> IndyGunFreak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109273/
but the problem is what update-rc.d firestarter S 40 not make the change
[07:37] <nyaa> kevdog: yeah, I have remote desktop viewer, but does he have to have it too?
[07:37] <kevdog> VNC is probably the easiest -- but yes -- the server needs to be installed on the host computer
[07:37] <Dr_willis> Adrian2MiL8,  just chang the name of the file
[07:37] <rww> IndyGunFreak: looks to me like wicd conflicts with network-manager and network-manager-gnome
[07:37] <IndyGunFreak> rww: i'm not disputing what you said, just saying it still shows installed on my system.
[07:37] <Dr_willis> Adrian2MiL8,  mv S65firestarter S99firestarter
ok , i will try when dsiconnect
[07:38] <kevdog> Dr_willis: may have to do that in more than one run level but that suggestion will work
thanks
[07:38] <nyaa> kevdog: aah
[07:38] <rww> IndyGunFreak: I wasn't sure whether I was right, so I figured I should check ;). Which of those packages specifically shows as installed, out of interest?
[07:38] <nyaa> kevdog: thanks =)
[07:39] <IndyGunFreak> rww: network-manager-gnome.. the ohter one shows uninstalled
[07:39] <Adrian2MiL8>  Dr_willis> running sysv-rc-conf i see firestarter starting in alll levels
[07:39] <mae> does linux-image-virtual in 8.10 support paravirtualization (to be a xen guest) and also selinux?
[07:39] <Dr_willis> Adrian2MiL8,  makes sence to me.  youmay have to chave it in every rc##.d thing
[07:40] <Dr_willis> Adrian2MiL8,  i wouldbe suprised if the changes help. but try it i guess
not only rcS.d ?
[07:40] <rww> IndyGunFreak: That's really weird. n-m-gnome depends on n-m. Anyway, I gtg.
[07:40] <Dr_willis> Adrian2MiL8,  im not sure when/where the rcS.d ones get used.
[07:41] <evilGUI> I have a question my router seems to block port 22 and I can't ssh via my IP so is there anything else I have to do to secure SSH? I just want to use it on my network
[07:42] <kevdog> I thought rcS commands got started with every run level -- but maybe not.  That is why its recommended to use update-rc.d to not screw some things up.  Maybe you cant make that change since firestarter is running!
[07:42] <Dr_willis> kevdog,  I though you copied the link FROM rcS.d to the proper runlevel rc#.d directory
the whole mess is with firestarter return a exited error 2 on boot process because ( i think ) he trying loading before networking up the interface
[07:42] <Dr_willis> Adrian2MiL8,  possible i guess- if hes on wireless..
[07:42] <johnnnny> what does it mean if a package is marked as:  [universe] [security]  ?
[07:43] <Dr_willis> but i woudl think firestarter would wait a bit.
[07:43] <waffles> Hey, I was wondering about the different virtualization software available for Ubuntu. I am setting up a new computer and I need to run Windows for work/school, but would like Ubuntu as my main OS, so I could use some Virtualization software that can boot a physical partition from Ubuntu. I'm checking out the mega-thread on the forums, but wondering what kind of personal experience people have had. I am currently looking at OpenVZ,
[07:43] <waffles> KVM, VirtualBox, and VMWare
[07:43] <johnnnny> whats "security" ?
don't have any wireless , only wired net
[07:43] <kevdog> evilGUI: sounds like you are good, but you could put a specific entry into iptables to block port22 if you are paranoid!
[07:43] <darkblue_B> Q. after upgrading Gutsy to Hardy, my postgres is at 8.3.1, but current is 8.3.5 at least.. also apt-get shows hardy repos, but synaptic GUI is showing Gutsy repos ??
[07:43] <evilGUI> kevdog: If I did that would I still be able to ssh via my local network?

[07:45] <Dr_willis> Insectoid,  i would double check.   Then again..i dont try to login via gdm to be root.. :)   if ya really want to - ya could go to the console , stop gdm and use 'startx'

[07:53] <cwillu> bullgard4, ()'s have meaning in regex

[07:53] <cwillu> bullgard4, \(.* PM\)
[07:53] <darkblue_B> doesnt * alone mean 0 or more

[07:58] <Insectoid> cwillu: Yes, root login works fine via ssh/tty, it's just gnome
[07:58] <cwillu> darkblue_B, '*', '+' and '?' match the preceding character
[07:58] <darkblue_B> cwillu: yes
[07:58] <zeb> Dr_willis:  mac addresses are unique to the adaptor tho
[07:58] <tenX> ohhai: it probably should have had the support earlier on ;) sounds like you're far away from being sure.
[07:59] <cwillu> darkblue_B, the reason it failed is because he wasn't matching anything else
[07:59] <a931bw> ?
[07:59] <cwillu> darkblue_B, \(* _does_ match any number of ('s in a row though
[07:59] <cwillu> (including zero)
[07:59] <prince_jammys> ..... in an extended, perl, or perl compatible regex
[07:59] <Dr_willis> zeb,  they are changeable with some command.. I forget which.. plus many routers can change their mac.
[07:59] <darkblue_B> anyway.. I am just trying to find out why the pkg mgr is tellming me I am up to date with Postgres when I am clearly not
[07:59] <cwillu> prince_jammys, ...which includes openoffice (yes, I checked)
[07:59] <tenX> zeb: my wlan device got a mac of 11:22:33:44:55:66, i must be so lucky
[07:59] <zeb> ya mac cloning
[07:59] <prince_jammys> cwillu: yep, figured most of the gui apps use perl-style regex
[08:00] <zeb> still dont help you if your mac isnt on the access list
[08:00] <cwillu> !info postgres postgresql
[08:00] <tenX> Dr_willis: ifconfig hw ether
[08:00] <cwillu> !info postgresql
[08:00] <ohhai> ohhai: You're right. =)
[08:00] <tenX> ohhai: talking to yourself? ;) happens to me all the time
[08:00] <cwillu> darkblue_B, what version does synaptic show as available and installed?
[08:00] <darkblue_B> cwillu: ?? I have hardy LTS
[08:00] <cwillu> !info postgresql hardy
[08:01] <nyaa> how do I tell what ip address my router has?
[08:01] <darkblue_B> yeah - so what is that optional thing and how do I make t happen, please?
[08:01] <tenX> nyaa: it will most likely match your default gateway
[08:01] <Insectoid> nyaa: Are you connected to it?
[08:01] <cwillu> darkblue_B, optional has nothing to do with this (just means its not critical for the operation of the system)
[08:01] <balrog__> which version of inetd should i use for a bazaar vcs server behind a university firewall: rlinetd, inetutils-inetd, xinetd, or openbsd-inetd ?  does the openbsd one have compatibility issues with much in the repos?
[08:01] <cwillu> darkblue_B, what is the version that synaptic reports as installed, and available?
[08:01] <ganjanaut> hello
[08:02] <darkblue_B> well I have 8.3.1 client and server running
[08:02] <tenX> Dr_willis: ah btw comfortable mac changing can be achieved via macchanger pkg
[08:02] <cwillu> darkblue_B, ...exact strings please
[08:02] <darkblue_B> you want .. dpkg -i or something ? I dont know this
[08:02] <nyaa> insectoid: yes
[08:02] <cwillu> open synaptic, find the installed package, and write the installed version, and the latest version
[08:02] <JoeSchmo_> Hey all...  I have a question, and I have been reading online for days and have no answer.  I have a fresh Ubuntu 8.10 install on my notebook.  Everything seems to be working great, except that my machine crashes horribly when I try to logoff.  I can shut down / restart just fine, but logoff causes the screen to go to a terminal, showing a "trace" and a memory dump, but I am unable to recover from it.  ctrl+alt+backspace (x2) wont even get me
[08:02] <JoeSchmo_>  out of it.  My Caps lock LED flashes, and I cannot do anything but hold down the power button.    So, my question:  is there a way to capture the system trace and memory dump to a text file?  There is so much scrolling on the screen that I am unable to get any useful information when the event occurs.
[08:02] <meoblast> hello..... how do i install 32 bit packages in ubuntu 64.. i want them to be updated as well
[08:03] <a931bw> How to unninstall sudo apt....
[08:03] <cwillu> a931bw, eh?
[08:03] <darkblue_B> synaptic GUI is showing reps as Gutsy this and Gutsy that, while the apt-get update on the command line is showing Hardy this and Hardy tat
[08:03] <a931bw> Im installed driver and wana to delete it
[08:03] <balrog__> a931bw: you cant, you shouldnt, and you shouldnt be able to
[08:03] <nyaa> insectoid trying to remote desktop with someone and he gave me the address from within his network, but we're not on the same exact network =/
[08:03] <cwillu> darkblue_B, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:03] <darkblue_B> repos
[08:03] <darkblue_B> cwillu: ok
[08:04] <paul68> Hi when I do iwconfig wlan0 I gett he following lines wlan0     IEEE 802.11  Nickname:"" Access Point: Not-Associated   how do I solve this
[08:04] <cwillu> a931bw, sorry, not understanding what you're trying to do
[08:04] <cwillu> a931bw, if you installed something via apt, then apt-get remove package-name will remove it (sudo synaptic would also let you uninstall it)
[08:04] <cwillu> a931bw, if you installed something without using apt or synaptic, then apt and synaptic can't do anything to help you uninstall it either
[08:05] <darkblue_B> http://pastebin.com/d3cdc3ac0
[08:05] <cwillu> darkblue_B, thanks
[08:05] <darkblue_B> I appreciate your looking at this
[08:05] <charlesju_> Does anyone know why a=( ) in a bash script will give an error?
[08:05] <cwillu> darkblue_B, how did you upgrade to hardy?  via the update manager, or by updating the sources by hand?
[08:06] <darkblue_B> cwillu: update magr
[08:06] <stooj> Quick question: I CTRL+Zed an Apt process instead of CTRL+C - so the apt lock is still on. Can anyone remind me how to cancel the original process correctly?
[08:06] <balrog__> do the ubuntu gurus have a favorable opinion of openbsd-inted?
[08:06] <darkblue_B> cwillu: it showed 4 minor errors after it was done, and wouldnt do any additional pkg manip.. but I removed the offending minor erros afer a restart, and now the CLI works fine
[08:07] <Insectoid> cwillu: Turns out just adding it to /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom worked -- and not to gdm.conf or gdm-cdd.conf
[08:07] <Insectoid> AllowRoot=true that is
[08:07] <cwillu> k
[08:07] <darkblue_B> but the GUI is showing Gutsy things in the Repo list
[08:07] <cwillu> darkblue_B, checked off though, or disabled?
[08:07] <tenX> what is a gui
[08:07] <Dr_willis> stooj,  try 'fb' to bring it back to front? or bg/fg command perhaps
[08:07] <darkblue_B> looking
[08:07] <Flannel> stooj: jobs, then %# (where # is the job number) will restart it.  You'll have to ctrl-c (if its downloading and not installing, you'll be OK)
[08:07] <cwillu> darkblue_B, it's probably just seeing the commented out ones, and giving you the opportunity of shooting self in foot by enabling them :p
[08:07] <Myxb> balrog__: killall it or fg and then ctrl+c
[08:07] <cwillu> tenX, buttons, windows, mousey things
[08:08] <charlesju_> So the issue is that running a shell script as "sh {script}" or "dash {script}" bypasses the "#!/bin/bash" line, thus causing it to fail. But it can be invoked as "sh -c {script}" or "dash -c {script}", and the "#!/bin/bash" *is* correctly handled to invoke the bash shell.
[08:08] <charlesju_> that's the answer to my own question
[08:08] <paul68> Hi when I do iwconfig wlan0 I gett he following lines wlan0     IEEE 802.11  Nickname:"" Access Point: Not-Associated   how do I solve this
[08:08] <cwillu> tenX, as opposed to text, more text, and keyboardy things :p
[08:08] <tenX> cwillu: sounds amazing, nearly revolutionary to me
[08:08] <cwillu> charlesju_, 'correctly'?
[08:08] <cwillu> the shebang line isn't supposed to do anything if you pass the file directly to an interpreter
[08:08] <charlesju_> that's the answer to my own question
[08:08] <charlesju_> yeah
[08:08] <balrog__> Myxb: it isnt installed, but id like to install an inetd.  is the openbsd-inetd one okay to use?
[08:08] <charlesju_> i didn't know that
[08:08] <charlesju_> now i do
[08:08] <cwillu> tenX, gonna be big someday, yep :p
[08:09] <darkblue_B> cwillu: ok, yes, they are unchecked .. I mssed that
[08:09] <cwillu> k
[08:09] <tenX> cwillu: you seem to be a visionaire
[08:09] <Argus1> hi
[08:09] <cwillu> although you have a seveas gutsy repo as well, which may or may not cause grief
[08:09] <Myxb> balrog__: sorry, no idea
[08:09] <cwillu> darkblue_B, okay, so, what is the exact version installed and considered available by synaptic? :p
[08:09] <balrog__> Myxb: np, thanks
[08:10] <darkblue_B> I will defineitly lose them if I can get a modern Postgres
[08:10] <cwillu> darkblue_B, dpkg/apt/aptitude reported would be fine too :p
[08:10] <cwillu> !info postgressql-8.2 hardy
[08:10] <cwillu> !info postgressql-8.3 hardy
[08:11] <darkblue_B> one s
[08:11] <aldi> good evening
[08:11]  * cwillu can't spell
[08:11] <zack> Hey.
[08:11] <MethinX> ok blakened it worked
[08:11] <tenX> cwillu: but seriously, while you mention synaptic. i took a look at it at some customers installation trying to explain him how things work - it was so confusing i changed the topic and port forwarded the conversation
[08:11] <aldi> can anyone tell me what to do first i just installed ubuntu new to linux
[08:12] <tenX> aldi: hmm i'd probably update it
[08:12] <cwillu> aldi, use it? :p
[08:12] <zack> lol
[08:12] <aldi> done
[08:12] <aldi> lol
[08:12] <zack> I just got Ubuntu too, I can't get my sound to work.
[08:13] <zack> :[
[08:13] <aldi> im used to windows
[08:13] <Insectoid> zack: Is your volume up... ?
[08:13] <tenX> cwillu: linux is not for use but for trying to get everything to work
[08:13] <cwillu> bug #204873
[08:13] <zack> Yes, my volume is up. -_-
[08:13] <cwillu> tenX, hardly, I just installed it on two 50+ computer owners, who are thrilled about how everything works :p
[08:13] <zack> I'm using a USB headset.  Which is like the root of my problem I think.
[08:14] <aldi> guys i do alot of torrent downloading do you recommend an av?
[08:14] <cwillu> darkblue_B, would appear postgres 8.3 is in the hardy backports repository, might just need to enable it from software sources
[08:14] <Goldy> hi
[08:14] <prince_jammys> aldi: not necessary
[08:14] <tenX> cwillu: it has improved so much. recent distros support a big variety of hardware. amazing
[08:14] <darkblue_B> cwillu: aha
[08:14] <darkblue_B> please advise
[08:14] <Insectoid> zack: can you pastebin me the output of lsmod and lsusb?
[08:14] <cwillu> darkblue_B, but I don't have a hardy machine handy to check easily
[08:14] <aldi> thenks prince
[08:14] <syockit> the live CD doesn't have tty. how do I create tty?
[08:15] <Alexx32> ciao
[08:15] <cwillu> syockit, use ctrl-alt-f2
[08:15] <zack> Can I private message you?
[08:15] <a931bw> wtf is .bespin ??
[08:15] <darkblue_B> cwillu: http://pastebin.com/m558ba8f
[08:15] <prince_jammys> aldi: you probably want to learn how to install stuff from the repositories
[08:15] <aldi> yeah thats what i want
[08:15] <prince_jammys> !apt | aldi
[08:16] <aldi> been trying for the last 4 hrs to install clamav
[08:16] <syockit> cwillu: there's no tty running
[08:16] <darkblue_B> cwillu: I am at the end of my tether.. I should come back after some rest.. I appreciate your looking at this
[08:16] <prince_jammys> aldi: keep in mind you don't really need an antivirus prog
[08:16] <cwillu> aldi, prince_jammys speaks the truth
[08:16] <prince_jammys> !synaptic | aldi : read the link above, and this one:
[08:16] <darkblue_B> aldi: linux, the bad news, command lines.. the good news, no virus'
[08:17] <MethinX> When browsing the internet in Opera the screen goes grey, how do I fix this?
[08:17] <tenX> cwillu: talking about that combo: you happen to know what switch to modify to enable it in case the combo won't lead you into true tty?
[08:17]  * Dr_willis puts the command line in the 'good news' area
[08:17] <aldi> ok thanks for the info prince ill check the web page you told me
[08:17] <Dr_willis> :)
[08:17] <prince_jammys> aldi: read the most recent one first
[08:17] <cwillu> darkblue_B, ooooo, is the -updates even enabled?
[08:17] <aldi> see you around
[08:17] <aldi> thanks again
[08:17] <cwillu> darkblue_B, I don't see it in your sources
[08:17] <syockit> what's the comand for starting all the tty?
[08:17] <darkblue_B> cwillu: ???
[08:17] <cwillu> darkblue_B, heh
[08:18] <cwillu> darkblue_B, synaptic, sources, make sure -updates is enabled
[08:18] <darkblue_B> checking
[08:18] <cwillu> synaptic, repositories, updates tab
[08:18] <cwillu> intrepid security and intrepid-updates need to be enabled (unless you only want security updates, in which case, you don't want the .5 version
[08:19] <darkblue_B> ohh, I had "important security updates" checked, but nothing else
[08:19] <tenX> cwillu: either you dumb, deaf and/or blind or wise and got me on ignore
[08:19] <cwillu> darkblue_B, there's your problem
[08:20] <MethinX> what are pre-released updates (itrepid proposed)? do I need them? will they harm my computer?
[08:20] <cwillu> tenX, I have a built-in ignore
[08:20] <Flannel> tenX: Please remain polite
[08:20] <Flannel> MethinX: You should not enable -proposed, no.
[08:20] <cwillu> MethinX, testing updates, which if they don't break stuff, will eventually become normal updates
[08:20] <tenX> Flannel: excuse wasnt meant to be an offense think he got it right
[08:20] <MethinX> thank you
[08:21] <Insectoid> I am getting the output of Zack's lsmod, a line a second.  It is quite noisy.
[08:21] <cwillu> MethinX, unless you need something specific from it, or merely like dealing with random stuff breaking occasionally, don't enable it :p
[08:21] <tenX> cwillu: so do you know?
[08:21] <syockit> alright, got it via getty 38400
[08:21] <cwillu> tenX, maybe I do, and I don't want to tell you?
[08:21] <cwillu> tenX, more likely, I don' :p
[08:21] <cwillu> not quite sure what you meant about 'won't switch to the true tty'
[08:21] <tenX> cwillu: hmm i would have gone with the first option
[08:22] <cwillu> ...because then you could still squeeze an answer out of me :p
[08:22] <darkblue_B> oh geez.. well its still 8.3.1 with updates checked.. I suppose I need "Propsed updates".. BUT I now see that dev libs was at 8.2, while a rash of other things is at 8.3  :-/
[08:22] <darkblue_B> changing dev libs
[08:22] <tenX> cwillu: well i see i dont know how to describe it better. switch from X to true text mode tty. via strg+alt+fX
[08:22] <cwillu> darkblue_B, "sorry for assuming ubuntu broke something, when really I broke it myself"?  :)
[08:22] <tenX> cwillu: the switch in case it doesnt work
[08:23] <cwillu> oh, the sysrq line
[08:23] <cwillu> don't know it off hand, but you should be able to find it searching for magic sysrq
[08:23] <cwillu> !sysrq
[08:23] <darkblue_B> well almost.. I'll take .66 of t
[08:23] <cwillu> there's a few others that are relevant
[08:23]  * cwillu sticks the remaining .34 on darkblue_B's back as he walks away
[08:23] <tenX> sysrq line some addition to xserver conf?
[08:24] <cwillu> tenX, well, there's c-a-backspace, which simply kills xorg completely, but if ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't work, c-a-backspace probably won't either
[08:24] <cwillu> sysrq is handled in kernel
[08:24] <darkblue_B> well the only 2 checks left are "Pre Release Updates" and "Unsupported updates:
[08:24] <cwillu> yep
[08:25] <darkblue_B> that sounds kind of sketchy.. but I need those ?
[08:25] <cwillu> nope
[08:25] <puremichael> hi, i've got some problems with evolution, e.g. 'unread' shows mit 100emails unread, total -635
[08:25] <cwillu> prerelease is testing stuff, so that people can check bugfixes without having to do anything special with packages
[08:25] <tenX> cwillu: of course i am familiar with c-a-b as well. just wondering what switch to switch. and how can it depend on the kernel?
[08:25] <cwillu> backports is for the real hardcore that like their long-term support, but not enough to actually use it as intended :p
[08:26] <cwillu> tenX, don't think there's any option for xorg.conf, although "man xorg.conf" and "/<search><enter>nN" will solve many woes
[08:26] <darkblue_B> .. and , I am still not finding postgres 8.3.5 though...
[08:26] <cwillu> darkblue_B, have you reloaded yet?
[08:26] <tekrom> slm
[08:27] <tenX> cwillu: i know how to research and know its the only true way. was just looking for an easy helpout answer
[08:27]  * cwillu pokes tenX with a pointy stick
[08:27] <darkblue_B> one more choice.. a popup that says LTR only or normal releases
[08:27] <darkblue_B> reloading now after choosing "normal" from "LTR"
[08:27] <tenX> cwillu: what is a pointy stick if i may ask
[08:27] <cwillu> darkblue_B, normal releases will offer an upgrade to intrepid
[08:28] <accura2k> how can I access a shared network folder from another computer in console?
[08:28] <cwillu> tenX, it's a wooden stick, with a sharpened point
[08:28] <cwillu> about 8 feet long
[08:28] <cwillu> accura2k, gvfs-<tab>
[08:28] <accura2k> cwillu, thanks
[08:28] <tenX> cwillu: you should start to use the metric system
[08:28] <cwillu> accura2k, you can also deal with normal mount's, but this is easier imo
[08:29] <tenX> cwillu: and adjust stick size
[08:29] <darkblue_B> oh ok, Mark All Upgrades just did it
[08:29] <darkblue_B> pressing go
[08:29] <cwillu> tenX, I like metric just fine.  however, stick sizes are traditionally measured in feet.  (btw, we should probably continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic, if you feel the need to continue :p)
[08:30] <cwillu> yay
[08:30] <darkblue_B> cwillu: yay.. thx
[08:30] <cwillu> yw
[08:30] <fight> hi all
[08:30]  * cwillu bites fight
[08:31] <cwillu> accura2k, if you have gvfs-fuse installed, then any gvfs mounts will show up in ~/.gvfs/shares
[08:31] <jeeves_Moss> would it be possible to set up 2 free VOIP accounts that have VOIP to land line abilities, call someone on one, and call yourself on the other, then link them to in theroy make a free call if you have free incomming?
[08:31] <cwillu> accura2k, which is handy for other apps
[08:31] <accura2k> ok
[08:32] <habakuk> hello

[08:35] <eduardo> can you help me guys? i have some trouble with my network connection
[08:35] <Unidentified6180> hey
[08:35] <prince_jammys> write out a detailed question and someone might help
[08:36] <cwillu> eduardo, I was about to point !ask at you, but I know I've pointed it at you before... :p
[08:36] <cwillu> !ask
[08:36] <eduardo> thank you guys... well...
[08:36] <eduardo> I need to change my DNS config every time i turn un my pc
[08:37] <tacosarecool> nyaa it works!
[08:37] <eduardo> coz the default DNS is a wrong one
[08:37] <tacosarecool> thanks
[08:37] <cwillu> eduardo, dhcp?
[08:38] <eduardo> yes, it's DHCP
[08:38] <cwillu> eduardo, add a supersede line to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[08:38] <cwillu> eduardo, supersede domain-name-servers <list of servers>;
[08:38] <cwillu> or even a prepend domain-name-servers <list>;
[08:39] <eduardo> ok, i'm checking the file, wait me please...
[08:39] <cwillu> eduardo, alternatively, get your admin to fix the dhcp server
[08:40] <Gerinych> how do you make a webpage into a screenlet?
[08:40] <eduardo> jojo.... that's a big problem, coz i'm installing ubuntu with my customer jojo
[08:41] <jim_p> Gerinych, you mean an rss feed to screenlet?
[08:41] <Gerinych> jim_p, no, just a webpage
[08:41] <meoblast> hi
[08:41] <Wolv3> hi
[08:42] <Unidentified6180> hey dose any one in here know how to use file zilla
[08:42] <meoblast> i have pcsx for ubuntu64 and i'm getting this error when i try to run the cd "Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console    sh: message: not found"
[08:42] <meoblast> what's up with that?
[08:42] <cunda20> merhaba
[08:42] <Flannel> Unidentified6180: You just connect, and then you can drag/drop or double click items, etc.
[08:42] <meoblast> i'm already going through the horrors of not being able to install 32-bit programs
[08:43] <Unidentified6180> @ Flannel iam having some trouble setitng it up
[08:43] <morghanphoenix> Anyone know how you set the display settings to allow 800x600 resolution? Fullscreen apps are giving me a blank screen with a can not display this video mode when they go 800x600, but are working fine at 640x480 and 1024x768
[08:43] <cwillu> meoblast, what 32 bit programs?
[08:43] <Wolv3> what happen if i make a manual delete from  /usr/share/themes
[08:44] <StR|Sangreal> hello; could sb explain me major differences between kde and gnome as a non pro should see them?
[08:44] <Wolv3> its fine to do that?
[08:44] <cwillu> Wolv3, nothing overly horrible, although it's not particularily elegant
[08:44] <prince_jammys> Wolv3: better to uninstall them through apt
[08:44] <jim_p> morghanphoenix, are you on ati/
[08:44] <jim_p> ?
[08:44] <cwillu> Wolv3, will just come back the next time the package has an update (which may be a while for a theme package, granted)
[08:44] <morghanphoenix> no, nvidia
[08:44] <Flannel> StR|Sangreal: KDE generally has more options, whereas gnome tries to just get it "right" without the need for extra configuration.
[08:44] <Unidentified6180> Flannel PM?
[08:44] <Wolv3> mmm
[08:45] <StR|Sangreal> i have upgraded to kde4, it seems to be a step in a bad direction but downgrade would be too painful...
[08:45] <Wolv3> because i have some problem with gtk+
[08:45] <eduardo> cwillu, here i have a line with #prepend domine-name-servers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[08:45] <morghanphoenix> I'm leaving kubuntu when I have to upgrade to KDE4
[08:45] <cwillu> eduardo, eh?
[08:45] <Flannel> Unidentified6180: You can just explain what you're having issues with here, but if its some sort of private something or other, sure.
[08:45] <eduardo> is it what am I looking for?
[08:45] <Wolv3> cwillu, some themes say i need it and i install all gtk engines
[08:45] <cwillu> eduardo, there's all sorts of example lines in there
[08:45] <Wolv3> prince_jammys,  some themes say i need it and i install all gtk engines
[08:46] <cwillu> eduardo, either a supersede or a prepend should work for a dns override
[08:46] <madsj> I don't find any wireless networks, in spite of the driver being loaded; "iwconfig -a" and "ifconfig -a" both list ra0 as an "interface"
[08:46] <prince_jammys> Wolv3: ok
[08:46] <eduardo> ok, excelent! thank you
[08:46] <jim_p> StR|Sangreal, its like asking "what is the difference between a mercedes and a bmw?". choose what you like most
[08:46] <cwillu> eduardo, (supersede kills the dhcp setting, prepend tacks a dns on to the front of the list to be checked first)
[08:46] <StR|Sangreal> how can i install a fullfeatured gnome on kubuntu to have a choice to run it independently
[08:46] <morghanphoenix> my xorg.conf has no resolutions in it, looks really bare compared to older versions ogf *buntu or another distro.
[08:46] <StR|Sangreal> ?
[08:46] <Unidentified6180> ok so i think that i set it up right i wnat to run the server on my laptopn adn then the client on my desktop
[08:46] <Unidentified6180> but what is a host
[08:46] <cwillu> morghanphoenix, that's standard now, since 8.04
[08:46] <madsj> I'm using the rt2860sta driver, and it stopped working after upgrading to a new kernel
[08:46] <cwillu> morghanphoenix, even 7.10 to an extent
[08:46] <Wolv3> prince_jammys,  how to fix that?
[08:47] <eduardo> cwillu, Thank you! i will try it!
[08:47] <Flannel> StR|Sangreal: yeah, intall the ubuntu-desktop package, you'll get to choose which DE to use when you login (at GDM or KDM)
[08:47] <madsj> I'd be extremely helpful for some hints, have tried asking a few times about it before
[08:47] <morghanphoenix> well, I'm not getting functional 800x600 frommy xserver, and I have no idea how to fix it if it's not a missing section of xorg.conf.
[08:47] <jim_p> StR|Sangreal, sudo apt-get isntall gnome
[08:47] <prince_jammys> Wolv3: you've installed gtk+ ?
[08:48] <morghanphoenix> Screen just goes blank and says can not disploay mode whenever I have a fullscreen aopp running at 800x600
[08:48] <cwillu> morghanphoenix, pastebin the output of xrandr
[08:48] <prince_jammys> Wolv3: deleting stuff from /usr/share/themes is unlikely to solve whatever problem you're having. i wouldn't.
[08:48] <Wolv3> prince_jammys,  i install all gtk+ packs i see on synaptic
[08:48] <cwillu> !pastebin morghanphoenix
[08:48] <cwillu> !pastebin |morghanphoenix
[08:48] <syockit> I'm on livecd now. I think I identified my problem: I may have removed myself from admin group. Now that I've mounted the root drive, where do I find the group settings?
[08:48] <prince_jammys> Wolv3: and there's certain themes that still won't work?
[08:49] <cwillu> syockit, chroot to the mount (so chroot /mnt, or chroot /media/disk/, etc)
[08:49] <Wolv3> prince_jammys,  yes
[08:49] <cwillu> syockit, and then addgroup syockit admin
[08:49] <Flannel> Unidentified6180: The host is the place with the server.  FTP or SSH or whatnot.  Is it just for private transfers for you?
[08:49] <cwillu> syockit, oops:   adduser syockit admin
[08:49] <StR|Sangreal> another question
[08:49] <morghanphoenix> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109281/ cwillu
[08:49] <Unidentified6180> flannel can we go private there is to much goign on in here lol
[08:50] <mlpug> if I select "recovery" from grub there is a menu. then I select root command prompt from that menu. how can I go back from command prompt to that menu without restarting?
[08:50] <Flannel> mlpug: `init 2` will finish boothing normally.
[08:50] <cwillu> morghanphoenix, open system | preferences |screen resolution, does 800x600 show up there?
[08:50] <cwillu> mlpug, ctrl-d will take you back to the menu I think
[08:50] <cwillu> I_think_
[08:50] <morghanphoenix> yes cwillu
[08:50] <Flannel> Unidentified6180: sure
[08:51] <cwillu> morghanphoenix, looks like you have a working 800x600 :/
[08:51] <morghanphoenix> Any application that uses fullscreen 800x600 gives me a blank screen though, either naticve apps or wine games.
[08:51] <syockit> cwillu: thx!
[08:52] <mlpug> tnx. ctrl-d does what i was after
[08:52] <cwillu> morghanphoenix, does 800x600 work if you select it?
[08:52] <StR|Sangreal> as i installed kubuntu on defaults, my graphics started flittering and the performance was really bad; i was offered to install a proprietary driver, the performance did improve dramatically; however, any attempt to play video crashes vlc and other players play it badly(i mean 60% of frames are black, it flickers on the top of the desktop and plasma)
[08:52] <ein2015> Flannel: off topic, but are you in here often? :)
[08:52] <morghanphoenix> yes
[08:52] <cwillu> (it'll fail out after 20 seconds if you can't see anything, and therefore don't click anything)
[08:52] <cwillu> morghanphoenix, no idea really.  It's not xorg at fault that I can tell though
[08:52] <Flannel> ein2015: Indeed. Also, we do have #ubuntu-offtopic if you have offtopic questions
[08:53] <cwillu> morghanphoenix, compiz running?
[08:53] <StR|Sangreal> (i have centrino2, thus i installed amd64 distro, my videocard is ati radeon mobility x1450) please could sb advise me how to set up my graphics?
[08:53] <morghanphoenix> No, never waste resources on eye candy myself.
[08:53] <Unidentified6180> Flannel did you get my pm
[08:53] <cwillu> morghanphoenix, have you disabled it?
[08:53] <morghanphoenix> haven't installed it.
[08:54] <cwillu> morghanphoenix, i.e., prefs | appearances | effects shows none, or normal?
[08:54] <morghanphoenix> Running kwin as my manager
[08:54] <cwillu> no idea then
[08:54] <bullgard4> What do the letters 'xdpy' stand for in the command name 'xdpyinfo'?
[08:54] <cwillu> was going to suggest that 'unredirect fullscreen windows' might improve things, but if you're not running a composited desktop...
[08:54] <cwillu> x display
[08:55] <StR|Sangreal> please is there someone to attend my graphics trouble?
[08:55] <bullgard4> cwillu: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining.
[08:55]  * cwillu is going home now :p
[08:56] <michl7> test
[08:56] <cwillu> !test | MichaelXin
[08:56] <cwillu> bah
[08:56] <cwillu> michl7, that was for you
[08:57] <morghanphoenix> Sheesh, that's annoying, things seem to run at 800x600 if I set it with xrandr first, it's just not setting it on it's own like it used to before I went to 8.04.
[08:59] <morghanphoenix> think of a reson why that would happen cwillu, or am I stuck writing launch scripts for everything that is affected?
[09:00] <Myx0x3> does anyone here know pretty much about PHP? :P...
[09:01] <bigbrovar__> does any body know how to install this on hardy heron http://www.getdeb.net/release/3755
[09:01] <cwillu> morghanphoenix, nothing specific.  Would you mind posting a bug about it on launchpad?
[09:01] <cwillu> !bug
[09:02] <cwillu> bigbrovar_, why?
[09:02] <miranda_psi> bigbrovar__: what problem do you have installing it?
[09:02] <jim_p> bigbrovar_, media applet requires some components that are gnome 2.24 specific, so there is no way to install it on hardy and gnome 2.22. I have tried that
[09:02] <bigbrovar__> because am running hardy and would like to install it
[09:02] <Scubidus> I fucking just got Spore Galactic Edition....................
[09:03] <Scubidus> Best game in the fuckn world
[09:03] <Flannel> Scubidus: Please watch your language, and keep it on topic.
[09:03] <jim_p> bigbrovar_, sorry, it has unmet dependencies
[09:03] <Scubidus> fuck im sorry I will
[09:03] <bigbrovar__> jim_p : thanks
[09:03] <bigbrovar__> too bad
[09:03] <morghanphoenix> Bah, spore is inferior to a lot of the free games I can grab from the *buntu repos.
[09:03] <jim_p> bigbrovar_, there is a similar gnome applet for the mounting
[09:03] <bigbrovar__> i tried ibex but too many things are broken on my machine
[09:04] <jim_p> bigbrovar_, are you on ati?
[09:04] <bigbrovar__> jim_p: i know just not as cool
[09:04] <bigbrovar__> naa funny the laptop is an xps that came preinstalled with ubuntu
[09:05] <jim_p> bigbrovar_, oh ok. what other problems do you face?
[09:05] <StR|Sangreal> hello
[09:05] <StR|Sangreal> as i installed kubuntu on defaults, my graphics started flittering and the performance was really bad; i was offered to install a proprietary driver, the performance did improve dramatically; however, any attempt to play video crashes vlc and other players play it badly(i mean 60% of frames are black, it flickers on the top of the desktop and plasma)
[09:05] <StR|Sangreal>  (i have centrino2, thus i installed amd64 distro, my videocard is ati radeon mobility x1450) please could sb advise me how to set up my graphics?
[09:05] <FloodBot2> StR|Sangreal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:05] <bigbrovar__> bluetooth doesnt work
[09:05] <rsteckler> I have tomcat6 running, and deployed my war to it.  The java app uses Hibernate to connect to mysql.  When it tries to load hibernate.cfg.xml, it errors out with access denied because it's trying to download the .dtd file from the internet per my xml header.  I tried to fake it out by putting the dtd next to it locally, but it still errors with no permissions to open the file.
[09:05] <jim_p> StR|Sangreal, can you use the opensource radeon driver? i will provide you my xorg.conf for ideas
[09:05] <bigbrovar__> webcam works but after compling the driver from source
[09:05] <rsteckler> Where do I go for tomcat's permissions?  I need to give it permission to access the internet?  weird
[09:06] <rsteckler> Or read from local files in it's own folder?
[09:06] <bigbrovar__> not a problem but u have to do it again after a kernel upgrade
[09:06] <bigbrovar__> and even when it works its not has good as hardy
[09:06] <homecable> i need testers http://208.88.171.32/speedtest/index-php.html
[09:06] <Flannel> homecable: Please don't do that here.
[09:06] <bigbrovar__> also the internal mic doesnt work
[09:07] <homecable> ok
[09:07] <EMPulse> hey guys
[09:07] <bigbrovar__> am quite disappointed with hardy
[09:07] <EMPulse> Is there a firewall in ubuntu
[09:07] <jim_p> homecable, it works for me
[09:07] <EMPulse> that i can configure to ignore ping requests
[09:07] <bigbrovar__> sorry ibex*
[09:07] <cwillu> EMPulse, there is
[09:07] <balrog__> anybody know how to setup a bzr server?
[09:07] <cwillu> !firewall EMPulse
[09:07] <homecable> jimp is it max speed ?
[09:07] <cwillu> !firewall | EMPulse
[09:07] <jim_p> EMPulse, use firestarter
[09:07] <EMPulse> jim_p, does ufw work?
[09:08] <tenX> ubottu: like any other? that depends on kernel config
[09:08] <cwillu> it does
[09:08] <homecable> jim what ur speeds u got from it
[09:08] <jim_p> EMPulse, ufw = ?
[09:08] <tenX> ubottu: i didnt think so
[09:08] <prince_jammys> ha
[09:08] <EMPulse> jim_p, somtimes with firestarts the internet freezes and all the programs that are connected on the internet freeze with it
[09:08] <cunda20> merhaba
[09:08] <EMPulse> jim
[09:08] <tenX> ubottu: but somebody has to step up some time
[09:08] <bigbrovar__> jim_p: ibex would be the first release i would be skipping altogether
[09:08] <jim_p> homecable, i am on 1024/256 and i got ~880/200
[09:08] <EMPulse> jim_p: its a firewall that comes with ubuntu, its short for ubuntu fire wall
[09:09] <EMPulse> jim_p: you can see it if you go "sudo ufw status"
[09:09] <karlos> homecable, i am 6500, 6500 and you saturated the line
[09:09] <jim_p> EMPulse, never heard of it, but firestarter is simple to use
[09:09] <cwillu> !ufw
[09:09] <EMPulse> jim_p. thanks
[09:09] <cwillu> uncomplicated firewall I though, but anyways :p
[09:09] <ross`> where is the darn wmii config file

[09:12] <Morclye> I edited fstab to automount windows partitions and everything else is fine but Scandinavian characters in folder or file names appears as question marks, for example finnish word for lake 'järvi' shows as 'j?rvi (invalid encoding)' Is there a neat solution to this or should I just live with that?
[09:13] <Dr_willis> Morclye,  i think theres some options you can use in the fstab to fix that..
[09:13] <Dr_willis> Morclye,  mine --> /dev/sda2 /media/VistaStorage ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
[09:14] <Dr_willis> Morclye,  ou may need to set the proper locale=

[09:20] <balrog__> i suppose
[09:20] <Scubidus> Hey Flannel
[09:20] <Dr_willis> Morclye,  that may be a ntfs only option. I just noticed it the other day and thought i tmay be a fix for you.
[09:20] <arvernes> apt-get V dpkg ? I have to remove some files I've just installed. What is the best way to go ? apt-get or dpkg ? I want to remove the files but the configuration too ? And second question : When I installed those files, it installed dependancies. Is there a way to give just the main file to be removed and have dpkg or apt-get to remove the dependancies too ?
[09:20] <Flannel> Hi Scubidus
[09:21] <ross`> bigbrovar__: idk bro
[09:21] <Scubidus> You Suck Donkey Balls
[09:21] <bigbrovar__> ross: thanks for the help anyway .. yours just works out of the box?
[09:21] <seektherapy> how can i do this
[09:21] <ross`> bigbrovar__: yes with 8.10
[09:21] <ross`> bigbrovar__: try being root
[09:21] <seektherapy> Quick install
[09:21] <ross`> when you hit the button
[09:21] <seektherapy> [09:21] <seektherapy> In terminal,
[09:21] <FloodBot2> seektherapy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[09:22] <bigbrovar__> ross: its a nautilus thing
[09:22] <soier> any suggestion about eclipse ....
[09:22] <Peddy> Is there a way to get Java apps to play sound through Pulseaudio? I'm running Linux.
[09:23] <Peddy> of course I'm running Linux :/
[09:23] <cwillu> !info eclipse-cdt | soier
[09:23]  * goldy cries
[09:23] <cwillu> Peddy, 8.04?
[09:23] <Peddy> cwillu: 8.10
[09:24] <shri> tenx: i followed the instructions. my target is unable to mount it
[09:24] <Insectoid> No sound post-install in USB audio.  Primary card is an nvidia HDA card, but everything's set to use usb headset under alsa.  Testing sound with this configuration throws a cannot open device.
[09:24] <bigbrovar__> ross: adding dev.cdrom.lock=0  to /etc/sysctl.conf works but with some quirks
[09:24] <bigbrovar__> ross: does bluetooth and internal mic work for you on ibex
[09:24] <ross`> ibex?
[09:25] <Morclye> Dr_willis: I got it working after you said it might be ntfs specific option and it really was. I used nls=utf8 for ntfs and iocharset=utf8 for fat32 and now my automounting seems to be working perfectly :)
[09:25] <ftab> How to uninstall the sound drivers in Ubuntu and then Re-Install?
[09:25] <tenX> shri: well as i said i'm not into it anymore. i changed my setups to sshfs which i prefer for security reasons
[09:26] <bigbrovar__> ross: yeah on ibex
[09:27] <ross`> what is ibex
[09:27] <ftab> How to uninstall the sound drivers in Ubuntu and then Re-Install?
[09:27] <ross`> is it a desktop manager
[09:27] <bigbrovar__> ross: it was why i downgraded to hardy ..intrepid ibex
[09:27] <jim_p> ftab, sudo apt-get autoremove linux-sound-base
[09:27] <Peddy> cwillu: do you have any idea how to use a wrapper to wrap the Java sound into Pulseaudio?
[09:27] <ziroday> !ibex | ross`
[09:27] <ftab> and then to install>
[09:28] <ftab> ?
[09:28] <jim_p> ftab, this will remove alsa, i suggest you to remove pulseaudio and keep it removed
[09:28] <ross`> oh lol
[09:28] <ross`> @.@
[09:28] <ftab> yes I already did that
[09:28] <ftab> I have strange problem here
[09:28] <jim_p> ftab, what is your                        lspci | grep Audio          ?
[09:28] <bigbrovar__> ross: what where you thinking before lol
[09:28] <ross`> thought you were talking about some obscure dm

[09:29] <bigbrovar__> ross: anyway i was asking if bluetooth works with ibex on your xps
[09:29] <ross`> bigbrovar__: no idea :)
[09:29] <ross`> bigbrovar__: i dont have a bluetooth card
[09:29] <jim_p> ftab, ich6 is 1000% alsa supported!
[09:29] <ross`> i dont think so anyway
[09:29] <ftab> yes
[09:29] <bigbrovar__> ross: oh ok
[09:29] <ross`> mmhmm
[09:30] <jim_p> ftab, can you tell the system to use it? provided that you have removed alsa of course
[09:30] <tenX> really nice is mounting mobile phones via obexfs while youre at it
[09:30] <bigbrovar__> ross: doesnt work on mine .. even the internal mic
[09:30] <On0bi_> does anyone know where i can play D&D on irc?
[09:30] <ftab> but my skype was not working with alsa so I modified some configuration for it, it works with skype now but screwed up other things like sound is not there in any music player
[09:30] <ross`> eew
[09:30] <ross`> hmm
[09:30] <ross`> idk thats weird
[09:30] <Dr_willis> On0bi_,  theres numerous online-D&D sites/servers and dalnet used to have a D*&D channel
[09:31] <bigbrovar__> ftab: that was why i downgraded to hardy where everything work out of the box
[09:31] <ftab> I can only play audio in embedded flash player in a browser
[09:31] <millertime_018> hey does anyone know how to recover deleted files in linux?
[09:31] <ross`> bigbrovar__: im gonna give you some bad advice
[09:31] <ross`> use lfs
[09:31] <ross`> :
[09:31] <ross`> ;)
[09:31] <FloodBot2> ross`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:31] <Dr_willis> !undelete | millertime_018
[09:31] <On0bi_> Dr_willis: like where?
[09:31] <bigbrovar__> i wonder why ibex broke so many things
[09:31] <Dr_willis> On0bi_,  google is our friend.  I know they exist
[09:31] <jim_p> ftab, go to system > preferences > sound and select alsa there
[09:31] <bigbrovar__> on a dell that came preinstalled with ubuntu
[09:31] <ftab> jim_p: is there any way so I can remove all those and then re-install?
[09:32] <On0bi_> Dr_willis: thanks :)
[09:32] <ftab> I do that but now it gives me error
[09:32] <ftab> when I try to test
[09:32] <skate2> how do you uninstall the vim71 that comes with ubuntu? i want to install vim72
[09:32] <jim_p> bigbrovar_, there has to be done a small sacrifice in order to early adopt a half working thing!!! stupid devs
[09:33] <Dr_willis> skate2,  use the package manager  to remove it
[09:33] <ftab> ok when I click on test after selecting Alsa then it works :)
[09:33] <ftab> but let me test it with Flash then
[09:33] <skate2> dr_willis how?
[09:33] <bigbrovar__> jim_p: its really sad .. i mean like everything that just use to work in ubuntu got broken in ibex
[09:33] <Dr_willis> skate2,  fire up synaptic and start clicking away
[09:33] <jim_p> ftab, there is some more you have to do for flash :P
[09:34] <bigbrovar__> thinkfinger for finger print reader, webcam,bluetooth, internal mic
[09:34] <GreedyB1> does anyone know how I can stop it from asking for a password to connect to my wireless network?
[09:34] <jim_p> bigbrovar_, i know. 99% of the apps that cause problems are from debian EXPERIMENTAL repos. experimental for debian = do not use it unless you are a developer!
[09:34] <ftab> now it's not working with Flash :(
[09:34] <jim_p> GreedyB, remove network manager and put a worthy app that reminds passwords
[09:35] <jim_p> ftab, open a terminal and type       gstreamer-properties            switch them to alsa too
[09:35] <GreedyB1> isnt network manager one of the better ones?
[09:35] <bigbrovar__> GreedyB1: best thing is to use a easy to type passwd with gnome keyrings
[09:36] <Dr_willis> can gnome keyring use a blank pasword? :)
[09:36] <jim_p> GreedyB, network manager 0.70 that ubuntu 8.10 uses is total crap. earlier versions were a bit better
[09:36] <bigbrovar__> GreedyB1:r try wicd
[09:36] <GreedyB1> jim_p and bigbrovar_ thanks
[09:36] <jim_p> GreedyB, i use gnome-network-admin for my wireless, non wpa, needs.
[09:37] <lufis> I've been having some wifi issues and someone suggested I disable wifi power saving. Anyone know how to do this?
[09:37] <GreedyB1> hmm I have WPA
[09:37] <GreedyB1> Ill try WICD.. I think ive used that before
[09:37] <ftab> jim_p: it gives this error now
[09:37] <ftab> Autodetect: Failed to connect: Connection refused
[09:37] <jim_p> GreedyB, there is also network-config that does wpa... and there is also a gui to configure wpa in general so as to make it usable with gnome-network-admin
[09:37] <jim_p> ftab, where?
[09:37] <bigbrovar__> GreedyB: you could reset the gnome keyring passwd and use a easy to type paswd
[09:38] <bigbrovar__> something that you can easily type and get on with ur life
[09:38] <GreedyB1> bigbrovar_see I just formatted from a dell ubuntu to 8.10... I have a lot of people use this computer so that wont work
[09:39] <ftab> when i go to gstreamer-properties
[09:39] <GreedyB1> bigbrovar_I cant just turn it off'?
[09:39] <bigbrovar__> GreedyB:sorry you cant .. and if you do let me know
[09:39] <jim_p> ftab, does it crash?
[09:40] <ftab> let me paste the whole error on ubuntu code
[09:40] <ftab> btw what is the url :0
[09:40] <jim_p> pastebin.com
[09:40] <stdin> it's in the topic :|
[09:40] <bigbrovar__> GreedyB: try wicd http://www.ubuntugeek.com/wicd-wired-and-wireless-network-manager-for-ubuntu.html
[09:41] <GreedyB1> bigbrovar_thanks for the link
[09:41] <ph8> i upgraded pulseaudio and now my sound's not working
[09:41] <ph8> classic
[09:41] <ph8> why is pulseaudio so bad?
[09:41] <bigbrovar__> GreedyB: only reason i use nm 0.7 is because of network sharing
[09:41] <nyaa> lunkheads at GE
[09:41] <pan_> how do i run fluxbox and ubuntu at the same time?
[09:41] <pan_> using xinit on screen 2
[09:41] <jim_p> ph8, because pulseaudio is NOT a general use audio system like alsa is. remove it and use alsa
[09:42] <gareth_> hey
[09:42] <ftab> jim_p: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109292/
[09:42] <ftab> that is the error I got
[09:42] <ftab> it does open the configuration window though
[09:43] <jim_p> ftab, oh thats nothing, pulseaudio remaining stuff crap. anyway, did gstreamer open?
[09:43] <HorizonXP> Does anyone know how to get PHP to be able to connect to an Informix database?
[09:43] <ftab> yes
[09:43] <gareth_> why does my ubuntu box wifi card see other connections in it's range (namely my neighbors) but it can't see my wifi router? I know it
[09:43] <tenX> gareth_: hidden sid?
[09:43] <gareth_> I know it's there because i'm using it now through my ibook
[09:44] <gareth_> ssid is enabled
[09:44] <ftab> jim_p it does open now
[09:44] <jim_p> gareth_, remove network manager piece of junk software and use a proper app
[09:44] <ftab> btw can it run two music players simulteneuosly ?
[09:44] <ftab> I mean to play audio at the same time in both
[09:44] <jim_p> ftab, dunno, but i can hear sound from 2 sources
[09:45] <jim_p> ftab, did you switch the default sound exit to alsa?
[09:45] <gareth_> jim_p: which app would you suggest? thx  :)
[09:45] <ftab> Default Input is Alsa
[09:46] <fight> Who use chinese QQ ?
[09:46] <jim_p> gareth_, do you use wpa for that wireless network?
[09:46] <ftab> but still no sound :(
[09:46] <ftab> in Flash it's working now, but in totem it's not
[09:46] <jim_p> ftab, can you please do a reboot, and verify that there is no pulseaudio config file left there?
[09:46] <gareth_> i've disabled encryption for now - just to make things easier - i hoped  :(
[09:46] <cwillu> ftab, flash is probably locking the device.  close firefox out completely, and see if it starts working
[09:46] <ftab> what's the command to remove the pulseaudio btw?
[09:47] <ftab> ok
[09:47] <cwillu> pulseaudio isn't the problem here
[09:47] <cwillu> it'd happen with any mixer
[09:47] <jim_p> gareth_, if you do use wpa, use network-config, else you can use wicd or something
[09:47] <HorizonXP> Is there a PHP module for Informix DBs?
[09:47] <ftab> cwillu: it worked now :(
[09:47] <ftab> but why not both sources?
[09:47] <jim_p> gareth_, and please remove network manager
[09:48] <cwillu> ftab, what does pidof pulseaudio say?
[09:48] <ftab> nothing
[09:48] <pan_> what is the purpose of ctrl+alt+f* where * = a #?
[09:48] <cwillu> ftab, run pulseaudio -D
[09:48] <gareth_> jimp_, ok i'll give that a try
[09:48] <bigbrovar__> gareth_: why not use hardy? what dell do you use btw
[09:48] <cwillu> ftab, well, close any media/sound sources, run pulseaudio -D, and then see if two work at once
[09:49] <ftab> pulseaudio is not currently installed, and jim_p is sayinh that I don't need that
[09:49] <ftab> and I heard that some where else too
[09:49] <renatka> help me, please.. how can i do translate my ubuntu into russian? many programs are in english and i don't know english well...
[09:49] <cwillu> ftab, jim_p should stop suggesting people break their ubuntu installs just because he had a bad experience with them :(
[09:49] <bigbrovar__> jim_p: if gareth removes nm what would he use
[09:49] <gareth_> bigbrovar_: hardy? sorry I'm a newbie
[09:49] <jim_p> renatka, is your gnome enviroment in russian?
[09:50] <bigbrovar__> hardy heron
[09:50] <jim_p> cwillu, while pulseaudio is not broken?
[09:50] <cwillu> jim_p, had no issues whatsoever across 4 laptops and a couple dozen different desktops
[09:50] <bigbrovar__> gareth: the version before intrepid ibex
[09:50] <ftab> cwillu: should I install the pulseaudio then?
[09:50] <GreedyB1> I thought wicd had a tray applet or something
[09:50] <cwillu> ftab, what was the original issue you were having?
[09:51] <bigbrovar__> gareth: what type what dell do you use ? xps?
[09:51] <ftab> I can't hear sound from 2 sources simultenously
[09:51] <IndoRama> hi...is there any good
 almost all in english...
[09:51] <cwillu> ftab, okay, yes, reinstall pulseaudio
[09:51] <jim_p> cwillu, pulseaudio early adoption is the main cause of ubuntu sound problems, even when they underlying sound cards are supported 1000% by alsa, so its removal is a wise movement
[09:51] <IndoRama> Nintendo 64 emulator for Ubuntu ?
[09:51] <nightrid3r> renatka: sudo aptget installlanguage-support-ru
[09:51] <cwillu> jim_p, pulseaudio still uses alsa
[09:51] <jim_p> renatka, what apps are in english ?
[09:51] <gordonjcp> ftab: pulseaudio is okay if you only ever want to use the latest linux-only software, usually media players
[09:51] <Coca-Cola> hi
[09:51] <nightrid3r> renatka: sudo apt-get installlanguage-support-ru
[09:51] <nightrid3r> hmmm
[09:51] <cwillu> ftab, that problem is caused either by apps locking the audio device so the mixer can use it, or by the mixer not running in the first place
[09:51] <nightrid3r> renatka: sudo apt-get install language-support-ru
[09:51] <renatka> thnks =)
[09:52] <ftab> will the skypw work with that?
[09:52] <jim_p> cwillu, are you serious? pulseaudio and alsa are 2 DIFFERENT sound layers.
[09:52] <gordonjcp> ftab: if you want to use music software or play games, pulseaudio will just annoy you
[09:52] <gordonjcp> ftab: nope
[09:52] <ftab> ah
[09:52] <ftab> I need both skype & media players :(
[09:52] <gordonjcp> ftab: well, I've never got it to work
[09:52] <ftab> static skype works with OSS
[09:52] <cwillu> jim_p, alsa is the driver architecture, and it's also an api that people use.  Pulseaudio uses alsa to talk to the hardware, and it supports an alsa layer for apps that try to talk directly to the alsa api's
 first - context menu... it's biggest trouble
[09:53] <jim_p> cwillu, i dare you to ask in pulseaudio or alsa channel for that
[09:53] <p4_xxx> a
[09:53] <jim_p> its the biggest nonsense i have heard
[09:53] <gluonman> Can anyone remind me what the command is that will allow me to see all the dimensions of an open window?
[09:54] <p4_xxx> does anyone knows where are the applications un ubuntu located, in which folder?
[09:54] <gluonman> p4_xxx, it depends on which applications you're looking for.
[09:54] <skate2> what's the difference between vim-gtk and vim-gnome?
[09:54] <ftab> cwillu: when I try to open the pulseaudio -D it fails
[09:54] <ftab> W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
[09:54] <jim_p> cwillu, here read the proof that pa is not alsa at all         http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/pulseaudio
[09:54] <cwillu> jim_p, "in a typical installation scenario under linux, the user configures alsa to use a virtual device provided by Pulseaudio.  Thus, applications using ALSA will output sound to PulsAudio, which then uses ALSA itself to access the real sound card"
[09:55] <cwillu> ftab, is pulseaudio installed?
[09:55] <gordonjcp> ftab: put it this way, I'm hoping that for Jaunty the Ubuntu devs realise the terrible mistakes of Intrepid
[09:55] <jim_p> cwillu, give me a sec with this nonsense
[09:55] <gordonjcp> ftab: and I'm hoping that pulseaudio gets either left out or fixed
[09:55] <cwillu> jim_p, lol
[09:55] <tenX> cwillu: know you gonna poke me but the linux sound architecture is a ridicule nobody wants to deal with
[09:56] <ftab> yes I did now by typing sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
[09:56] <cwillu> ftab, what does pulseaudio say if you run it like that (without the -D)
[09:56] <p4_xxx> like, picasa, oppen office, i installed wbar but i need to know where are the applications and icons
[09:56] <gordonjcp> tenX: ALSA works really well
[09:57] <gordonjcp> tenX: a lot of the problems are caused by very old software trying to use OSS
[09:57] <skate2> why does my screen go dim after a few seconds of being idle  ? is that some kind of power saving feature
[09:57] <ftab> E: pid.c: Daemon already running.
[09:57] <ftab> E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
[09:57] <ftab> now I guess it's already running
[09:57] <cwillu> ftab, try playback
[09:57] <ftab> ok from both sources?
[09:57] <cwillu> yes
[09:57] <cwillu> ftab, do a pidof pulseaudio just for kicks too
[09:58] <nightrid3r> renatka: sudo apt-get install language-pack-ru  <--- also this one
[09:58] <cwillu> should give a number back
[09:58] <renatka> how can i install beryl???
[09:58] <ftab> yes it returns the pid
[09:58] <skate2> not sure. i think i'd rather just extend the time
[09:58] <ftab> cwillu: now it works :)
[09:58] <cwillu> ftab, yay :p
[09:58] <ftab> I am trying to test with skype
[09:58] <karlos> renatka: what distribution are you using? probably apt-get install compiz if ubuntu
[09:59] <nightrid3r> renatka: sudo apt-get install beryl
[09:59] <cwillu> ftab, I have seen the pulseaudio daemon die before, usually all that's needed is a pulseaudio -D to restart it
[09:59] <tenX> gordonjcp: well its working for me so far but i experienced problems with input many times. and yeah, many software runs on oss, you got many devices which never clearified to me lacking sound card/system/standards knowledge. of course i usually read things up and there are quiete a few docs. but a basic understanding of how things work together has never been reached from my point.
[09:59] <renatka> terminal writes to me: unable to lock the administration directory...
[10:00] <tenX> gordonjcp: its one thing to follow howtos and get things to work somehow. but i like to understand what i'm doing and with linux sound i never got there.
[10:00] <nightrid3r> renatka: sudo apt-set install <progname>
[10:01] <renatka> i'll try...
[10:01] <nightrid3r> danm lousy typing
[10:01] <nyaa> soda apt-get install pepsi =/
[10:01] <skate2> i just installed vim-gnome but i have no idea where it went or how to start it
[10:02] <cwillu> tenX, jim_p, http://rudd-o.com/archives/2007/11/05/how-pulseaudio-works/ might be useful
[10:02] <nyaa> skate2: vim would be something you can open up from a terminal
[10:02] <tenX> cwillu: dont even know what pulse audio is
[10:02] <nyaa> skate2: open a terminal and type in vim
[10:03] <ftab> cwillu: I can hear from skype but my mic is now not working
[10:03] <skate2> i already had normal vim installed, but this is supposed be a gui version
[10:03] <cwillu> ftab, run alsamixer from a console, and verify the volume is turned up, etc
[10:03] <skate2> vim-gnome
[10:03] <skate2> but typing vim-gnome doesnt do anything
[10:03] <cwillu> ftab, also, verify that the app you're using to test the mic is set to the right device
[10:03] <tenX> ftab: at times it can depend on your soundcard also though. some cards are a pain
[10:03] <jim_p> cwillu, so it uses alsa as a second helping hand, as it does with the rest soundsystems! while alsa is THE audio management app under linux, pulseaudio uses it as a helper. let me laugh
[10:03] <nyaa> skate2 accessories?
[10:04] <ftab> but my mic was working before :)
[10:04] <skate2> not there
[10:04] <cwillu> jim_p, you have an interesting conception of what alsa actually is providing
[10:05] <jim_p> cwillu, what does it provide?
[10:05] <ftab> cwillu: the master is 100% now
[10:05] <skate2> unless, is there a way to change accessories->text editor to load vim-gnome instead of gedit?
[10:05] <ftab> in alsamixer
[10:05] <tenX> jim_p: at one time i took so many tries with skype (actually i'm now glad it didnt work) and read a LOT about it, even starting to look at alsa architecture in detail but never got the whole picture or got it to work
[10:05] <_wasabi> is a any php ide i can use on ubuntu that has code completion?
[10:05] <_wasabi> something free
[10:05] <paul68> I want to configure my wlan0 however when I enter iwconfig wlan0 essid myessid nothing changes any ideas on how to solve this?
[10:05] <skate2> eclipse might wasabi
[10:05] <_wasabi> isn't eclipse commercial?
[10:05] <tenX> jim_p: in review it might have had to do with a horrible sound card but still. its puzzling me
[10:05] <jim_p> cwillu, ok do what you think correct. i retire
[10:06] <skate2> vim can kind of do code completion but it only works if the word already exists in the file
[10:06] <jim_p> hi paul68
[10:06] <tenX> paul68: wlan0 sounds like atheros chipset?
[10:06] <skate2> just hit ctrl+n
[10:06] <tenX> create ath dev with wlanconfig than
[10:06] <tenX> stick to madwifi docs
[10:06] <paul68> tenX: no its a broadcom
[10:06] <tenX> paul68: uah
[10:06] <paul68> jim_p: hi how are you
[10:07] <jim_p> paul68, i am ok, here arguing about pulseaudio adoption
[10:07] <ftab> cwillu: I am able to record my voice on gnome sound recorder
[10:07] <MrEgg964> Hi guys :) I have an external usb disk formatted in ext3 which automounts into /media when I plug it in. The problem is that on automount, it's owned by root and I don't have rw perms. How can I changed that so I can have rw perms automatically ?
[10:08] <meican> hi
[10:08] <ftab> but not able to record that using skype
[10:08] <ftab> :(
[10:08] <meican> can i join here ?
[10:08] <cwillu> ftab, sec
[10:08] <werdnum> meican: you just did.
[10:08] <paul68> tenX: the problem is that my wlan was mentioned previously as eth1 however I managed to change this with udev in wlan 0 but I still can't get my ssid mentioned when using conky.
[10:08] <paul68> tenX: conky is working correctly with the same config on my desktop also connected with wifi
[10:09] <paul68> jim_p: you are lucky I don't have any sound at all on my desktop
[10:10] <meican> thank's. btw, i have a problem. i use ubuntu 8.04 with gnome desktop. but i don't know why all my general file like picture, movie, archive, etc on nautilus read as plain text. how fix it ?
[10:10] <jim_p> paul68, why?
[10:10] <tenX> paul68: unfortunately i never dealt with broadcom wlan under linux. but udev device names can be edited in rules.d/ config files. but though having no experience - what does dmesg say about your card? reload the module and see?
[10:10] <cwillu> ftab, on intrepid?
[10:10] <ftab> YUP
[10:10] <jim_p> meican, change icon theme, or tell nautilus not to make thumbnails of your files
[10:11] <tenX> paul68: and how do you access the card and scan? using GUI or console?
[10:11] <paul68> jim_p: because its a creative laps
[10:11] <cwillu> ftab, libasound2-plugins installed?
[10:11] <ftab> how do I check that?
[10:11] <cwillu> ftab, synaptic or apt, whichever
[10:11] <paul68> tenX: using gui and when I enter ifconfig -a wlan is correctly mentioned
[10:12] <ftab> yes, it's already installed
[10:12] <meican> no is not, maybe mime type is wrong ?
[10:13] <paul68> tenX: it gives me the correct ip in conky so that good however on link quality bitrate its not mentioning any output
[10:13] <cwillu> ftab, pastebin the contents of /etc/asound.conf and ~/.asoundrc (if you have it)
[10:13] <tenX> paul68: entering commands is not gui usage. you probably use a x-server console but take the most direct way
[10:13] <tenX> paul68: what is conky?
[10:13] <ftab> ok
[10:14] <meican> or maybe it is gnome bug ? because when me using xfce it's ok
[10:14] <tenX> paul68: and - you get an ip? how is your wlan secured?
[10:14] <paul68> tenX: conky is a systemmonitor that you can place on your desktop
[10:14] <paul68> tenX: secured with wpa2
[10:14] <paul68> tenX: http://conky.sourceforge.net/
[10:14] <tenX> paul68: and how do you set the encryption up these days? via wpa_supplicant.conf?
[10:15] <paul68> tenX: did that through network manager
[10:15] <unanxbt> I have downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 iso image, how can I check that whether the image is downloaded correctly (and not is corrupted)?
[10:15] <tenX> but getting an ip should speak for correct access
[10:15] <nyaa> unanxbt: when you start it up with the disk there is an option to check the disk for errors
[10:15] <tenX> paul68: what is not working?
[10:16] <ftab> cwillu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109306/
[10:16] <cwillu> thanks
[10:16] <ftab> that is for asound.conf
[10:16] <tenX> paul68: cant you ping anything?
[10:16] <nyaa> unanxbt: its right after it asks what language you speak/read
[10:16] <unanxbt> nyaa, i want to check the image before writing it to disk so that my disk does not waste
[10:16] <tenX> paul68: especially your router/wlan ap
[10:16] <nyaa> unanxbt I bet there's a checksum, lemme look
[10:16] <paul68> tenX: thats what I thought however I don't get in conky my ssid bitrate and signal strength I can work correctly with my laptop since I am using it at this point
[10:17] <fellojell_o> anyone having issues with firefox lately?
[10:17] <unanxbt> nyaa, ok :)
[10:17] <paul68> tenX: the problem is that I can't get the bitrate and other stuff mentioned in conky
[10:17] <cwillu> ftab, what devices does skype's config dialog show?
[10:17] <ftab> ok let me check\
[10:18] <ftab> can I put a screenshot some where?
[10:18] <Turbolord> can anyone help me with installing ubuntu?
[10:18] <tenX> paul68: i never heart about conky and got the hope to never have to deal with it again :) getting things to work use the console you've already proven you know how to handle it
[10:18] <tenX> paul68: for bitrate etc. checkout iwconfig -i devFOOBAR
[10:18] <cwillu> ftab, other than flickr or something
[10:19] <ftab> ok
[10:19] <ftab> let me find one
[10:19] <tenX> paul68: as well as for the association of your card to an AP
[10:19] <cwillu> ftab, oh, and did you have a ~/.asoundrc?
[10:19] <ftab> nopes
[10:19] <ftab> that's not there
[10:20] <cwillu> k
[10:20] <cwillu> (remembering that .filewithadot is hidden by default)
[10:20] <paul68> tenX: well conky is a nice tool the problem is that I should be able get my ssid bitrate as such mentioned
[10:21] <tenX> cwillu: i stick to it. solving sound issues needs years.
[10:21] <fellojell_o> this forum is chaos
[10:21] <O__o> how come when hitting backspace key in firefox wont take you to previous page like it should?
[10:21] <paul68> tenX: iwconfig -i gives no such device in return
[10:21] <cristi> how do i make antialiasing work with compiz? or how do i enable it?
[10:21] <ftab> cwill: it's strange but when open the drop down of the devices then the print screen isn't working
[10:21] <ftab> :(
[10:22] <oobe> fellojell_o, thats cause its a support channel not a forum
[10:22] <ftab> very strange but let me put the list here
[10:22] <cwillu> ftab, I_think there's a delay option on the screen grabber
[10:22] <alexvip> sadfsdfh
[10:22] <tenX> paul68: but conky has some problems. at first: its name. at second: use direct commands/control to avoid a further layer as a possible cause for errors
[10:23] <paul68> tenX: my guess is that I need to adapt some files for making it happen that I can see the ssid and so on

[10:23] <jim_p> cristi, from the "control panel" of your gpu drivers
[10:23] <cristi> ﻿how do i make antialiasing work with compiz? or how do i enable it?
[10:23] <jim_p> cristi, from the "control panel" of your gpu drivers
[10:24] <cristi> jim_p: hm ok i'll try
[10:24] <paul68> tenX: well conky with the same config is working correct on my desktop so the problem is the device wich is working correctly however not giving out the same info that I want to see in conky
[10:24] <tenX> paul68: okay you are a truly convinced conky user, i see
[10:24] <ftab> cwill: the main options are,  Sound In and Sound out
[10:24] <cristi> jim_p: i don't think i have such a thing installed
[10:24] <cwillu> ftab, gnome-screenshot --delay=5, and then open the menu
[10:24] <cwillu> ftab, you'll have about 5 seconds to do it
[10:25] <paul68> tenX: just using it since a week and find it a nice program
[10:25] <jim_p> cristi, what gpu are you on?
[10:25] <dayo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109302/
[10:25] <cristi> jim_p: nvidia geforce 9550M GS
[10:25] <dayo> can anyone help me with this? it's happened a lot in the past few days. and all open instances of File Manager are frozen until reboot
[10:25] <cristi> jim_p: 9500*
[10:26] <dayo> i'm using xubuntu, btw
[10:26] <tenX> paul68: well as far as i am concerned my tool is the command line in almost every case. the more you get into *nix you will understand why. its powerful, direct and universal
[10:26] <paul68> tenX: problem is the info that I want to see, the only thing I don't know is where ubuntu is saving the info like ssid
[10:26] <tenX> paul68: its usage will let you deal with many distro flavours
[10:26] <jim_p> cristi, do you have nvidia-settings installed?
[10:26] <esay> what is the between from 8.10 and 8.04
[10:26] <jim_p> !info nvidia-settings
[10:27] <tenX> paul68: plus: you avoid your layer above as a cause for errors
[10:27] <cristi> jim_p: aparently not.. do i find it in synaptic ?
[10:27] <jim_p> cristi, yea
[10:27] <tenX> paul68: AND: how can you tell anyone you use conky?
[10:27] <paul68> tenX: do you know where the info like ssid is stored, what do you mean with that
[10:28] <cwillu> ftab, still there?
[10:28] <ftab> yes
[10:28] <ftab> uploading the screenshots now
[10:28] <tenX> paul68: i'd scan via iwlist devX scan
[10:28] <esay> what is the between from 8.10 of 8.04?
[10:28] <cwillu> ftab, k
[10:29] <tenX> paul68: or setup kismet as the ultimate tool. but since your not sure if your card works correctly at all you should take care of that first
[10:29] <cwillu> ftab, there's a beta of a version of skype that allows the use of oss, which works around their buggy alsa usage, which would be the worst case solution (it's known to work with "padsp skype")
[10:29] <cristi> jim_p: i also installed xserver-xgl, however i think it wasn't such a good idea. Is it ok to remove it now?
[10:29] <jim_p> cwillu, did the rocksteady pulseaudio work yet?
[10:29] <paul68> tenX: using last command get as result interface doesn't allow scanning
[10:29] <tenX> paul68: but kismet will let you discover hidden sid as well
[10:29] <jim_p> !info xserver-xgl
[10:29] <cwillu> jim_p, for everything except for the closed app that has a buggy alsa implementation that would also break on any card that didn't need dmis
[10:30] <cwillu> s/dmis/dmix/
[10:30] <tenX> paul68: ifconfig devX up?
[10:30] <ftab> yes before pulse audio I have been using that woth /dev/dsp
[10:30] <cristi> jim_p: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[10:30] <cristi> jim_p: aparently it does
[10:30] <jim_p> cristi, ?
[10:30] <Morclye> I have started using openDNS to solve my slow lookup issue and everything works fine except after reboot 'Auto eth0' appears in network list and starts as default connection. It's not a big deal but removing it every time is a bit of annoyance which probably can be avoided.
[10:30] <tenX> paul68: plus.. switching that fatal hardware wlan switch on? ;)
[10:31] <jim_p> cristi, do you have nvidia drivers installed?
[10:31] <cristi> jim_p: uhm yes
[10:31] <cwillu> cristi, check if you have nvidia-glx-177 installed
[10:31] <paul68> tenX: my card works correctly however I don't get the info that I want to see from it
[10:31] <esay> what is 8.10's system requirements?
[10:31] <cwillu> !requirements
[10:31] <paul68> tenX: If my card doesn't work it can't get connected to the internet with the params that I entered
[10:32] <dayo> help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/109302/
[10:32] <tenX> paul68: but you got an ip. via dhcp i assume. not static, right
[10:32] <paul68> tenX: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device this is the output of ifconfig devX up
[10:32] <Ethos> I've set up a VM with ubuntu server, I can ping the net and internal clients but I can't ping / access anything over the VPN (vpn is setup on the windows client hosting the VM)
[10:32] <Ethos> any ideas guys?
[10:32] <paul68> tenX: from DHCP yes
[10:32] <dionysus_p> hello all, what is the role of the following file: /etc/network/intefaces
[10:32] <tenX> paul68: devX is my fantasy ;) just a variable
[10:32] <mohsen> hi
[10:32] <Ethos> dionysus_p: it sets up the interfaces?
[10:33] <Ethos> so you can set static / dhcp etc..
[10:33] <tenX> paul68: dunno your systems params
[10:33] <dionysus_p> does NetwornManager use that file?
[10:33] <paul68> tenX: so I should use iwlist wlan0
[10:33] <tenX> paul68: well if you get an ip via dhcp from you ap/router
[10:33] <tenX> you must be authenticated via wpa2
[10:33] <tenX> paul68: what does route -n say?
[10:34] <ftab> cwillu:http://img9.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=79560_Sound-In_122_40lo.jpg
[10:34] <cwillu> thanks
[10:34] <jim_p> dionysus_p, no. nm avoids that file, thank god. this is the proper file for network configuring
[10:34] <cwillu> ftab, if you set it to pulse, does it work?
[10:34] <dionysus_p> each time an interface is listed in /etc/network/interfaces NetworkManager ignore that interface, is this normal, i am using ubuntu 8.10 and ubuntu 8.04
[10:35] <ftab> onnly I can hear but can't record
[10:35] <tenX> paul68: decisive is 0.0.0.0
[10:35] <paul68> tenX: correct the problem is not the connection as such the problem is that I can't produce the ssid and link quality in conky
[10:35] <cwillu> ftab, that's for sound in and out?
[10:35] <tenX> paul68: default route
[10:35] <ftab> Sound In
[10:35] <ftab> http://img201.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=83457_Sound-Out_122_533lo.jpg
[10:35] <esay> ubottu thanks..
[10:35] <ftab> the second one is for sound out
[10:35] <tenX> paul68: if you get an ip you must be authed
[10:35] <paul68> tenX: think you are missing the point here
[10:35] <tenX> paul68: the connection is therefor alive
[10:36] <tenX> paul68: no conky is missing the point
[10:36] <dionysus_p> how can i disable NetworkManager
[10:36] <tenX> paul68: plus being punished by having a horrible name
[10:36] <dayo> !ubottu | esay
[10:36] <uid0> hey guise, when i open firefox the window decorations dissapeer. but only on firefox. anyone got any ideas as to why?
[10:36] <mohsen> hi
[10:36] <mohsen> any body home?
[10:36] <ftab> iinstall wicd instead NetworkManager
[10:36] <uid0> im on ubuntu 8.10 with gnome btw
[10:36] <paul68> tenX: that correct and as such there is nothing wrong with my connection
[10:36] <ftab> NetworkManager is buggy
[10:37] <tenX> paul68: oh its working??
[10:37] <ezerhoden> ftab: are you trying to use a built-in mic?
[10:37] <cristi> jim_p: ok now it kind of works, but what is the difference between override or enhace for antialiasing?
[10:37] <ftab> nopes, It's a head set which has speaker and mic
[10:37] <esay> dayo  ?? esay
[10:37] <esay> ??
[10:37] <cwillu> ftab eh?
[10:37] <paul68> tenX: my network is working correctly because I am connected with that laptop and talking to you
[10:37] <paul68> tenX: through wifi
[10:37] <ftab> eh what does that mean? :)
[10:38] <kbrosnan> uid0: have you changed the gnome theme?
[10:38] <tenX> paul68: omg... ;) and my fingers are bleeding from typing
[10:38] <paul68> tenX: only thing is that for some weird reason I am not able to get the output of ssid in conky
[10:38] <tenX> paul68: so this is all about conky?
[10:38] <sme> Hey guys/girls... I've got a Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03).. doesn't play sound though... should I be talking to alsa?
[10:38] <uid0> kbrosnan: yeah theme has been changed
[10:38] <cwillu> ftab, was wondering what you were talking about
[10:38] <cwillu> ftab, nopes to what :p
[10:38] <dayo> easy: it's an irc bot
[10:38] <sme> ---> on ubuntu.
[10:38] <tenX> paul68: you cant be serious :D conky cant work, its a GUI
[10:38] <jim_p> cristi, i have no idea, i dont use antialiasing anywhere
[10:38] <ftab> ah the mic is not built-in to the system but a head phone
[10:39] <renatka> one more question: why i don't see computers of my network?? i connect to internet by network...
[10:39] <cristi> jim_p: than thank you for the help! :D
[10:39] <paul68> tenX: well my guess is that since the install of the wifi on my laptop it was mentioned as eth1 however I changed it in the udev rules to wlan0  but still not able to produce the essid as I can produce it on my desktop with the same conky conf
[10:39] <tenX> paul68: sry got you totally wrong :)
[10:40] <jim_p> cristi, you are welcome
[10:40] <kbrosnan> uid0: what happens if you go back to the default gnome theme, besides not liking the appearance :)
[10:40] <tenX> paul68: but why is it important? just a matter of cosmetics?
[10:40] <dionysus_p> i have 2 network interfaces eth0 connected to pppoe modem and ath0 wirless card for home network, in ifconfig i get eth0 ppp0 ath0 wifi0 which (ath0 or ppp0) should i use for external card and which one (ath0 or wifi0) should i use as home netwrok card for firestarter internet sharing purposes?
[10:40] <uid0> heh, 2 secs ill check
[10:40] <uid0> kbrosnan: does the same thing
[10:40] <paul68> tenX: indeas just a matter of cosmetics and can't stand the fact that I can't get it working call be stuborn but would like to find an explanation for this
[10:41] <cwillu> ftab, you said it worked under oss?
[10:41] <uid0> the whole window go's to fullscreen without the window decoration
[10:41] <paul68> tenX: *indeed
[10:41] <ezerhoden> renatka: is samba installed? if so, is it started ?
[10:41] <aLeSD> hi ... I installed the kenrel 2.6.24-18-rt on the 8.10 downloading the packages one by one ... but alsa doens't work ... or better it seems not be active
[10:41] <tenX> paul68: okay i can feel you. even if i hate guis, some things have to run in order :)
[10:41] <aLeSD> some could hel me ?
[10:41] <ftab> yes but that was another version of skype compiled for OSS
[10:41] <shepherd> hi
[10:41] <shepherd> i need help
[10:41] <cwillu> ftab, ah, k
[10:41] <jonaskoelker> shepherd: ask your question :)
[10:42] <kbrosnan> uid0: hrm, the other person that had that issue reverting to the default helped
[10:42] <shepherd> plz him
[10:42] <cwillu> ftab, ya, if you use that with padsp, it'll work; I'm just rooting around for a mic right now
 what's this?? i have just install ubuntu and i don't know many things...
[10:42] <ftab> hey it worked :)
[10:42] <paul68> tenX: is there a command in the console that gives me the complete output of my wlan with essid and things like that included? I thought it was iwconfig
[10:42] <ftab> great
[10:42] <uid0> kbrosnan: ah i see, well the other day it stopped doing it after playing with something or other. now i dont remember what it was i played around with
[10:43] <kbrosnan> uid0: how about a new profile while using human theme? firefox -P
[10:43] <ftab> I tried the Intel ICH6( hw:ICH6,0)
[10:43] <shepherd> #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:43] <ftab> in sound in and it worked
[10:43] <uid0> kbrosnan: good idea, ill give that a go, thankyou :)
[10:43] <shepherd> unban me please
[10:43] <cwillu> ftab, goodie :p
[10:43] <ftab> so now I have a complete set of audio on my Ubuntu :P
[10:43] <ezerhoden> ftab: that is a built-in mic on the computer
[10:44] <shepherd> can some one go to ubuntu  offfff  topic and unban me?
[10:44] <cwillu> shepherd, -> #ubuntu-ops
[10:44] <tenX> paul68: yeah exactly that should be it
[10:44] <ftab> I am not sure but it worked, I am not a sound audio expert I am programmer though
[10:44] <ftab> ;)
[10:44] <ezerhoden> ftab: i am neither, but i did stay at a holiday inn express last night!
[10:45] <tenX> paul68: and you'll sure find those params in /proc somewhere to be direct
[10:45] <ezerhoden> bad old commercial reference, sorry
[10:45] <paul68> tenX: however I get this as output when using iwconfig wlan0 wlan0     IEEE 802.11  Nickname:""   Access Point: Not-Associated
[10:45] <cwillu> ezerhoden, _great_ commercial reference you mean :p
[10:45] <cwillu> paul68, what's the trouble?
[10:46] <tenX> paul68: yeah it should be it ;) but you're not associated but still using it. amazing skills of yours.
[10:46] <ftab> cwillu: let me confirm if every thing is working fine now
[10:46] <Rotlaus> How can i check if acpi is enabled?
[10:46] <ftab> :)
[10:47] <dayo> can someone help me with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/109302/  It's been happening a lot the past few days. Can't open Trash, and all open instances of File Manager are frozen. Stays that way and then I always have to reboot to get things back to normal.
[10:47] <jonaskoelker> paul68: how about wpa_cli status, is that useful for you?
[10:47] <tenX> paul68: but as for atheros drivers wlanX is only a frame device making it possible to create several virtual devices on top
[10:47] <paul68> tenX: yup and I am not even aware of it
[10:47] <tenX> paul68: maybe you should try iwconfig without any option
[10:48] <paul68> cwillu: the thing is that I use conky and I can't let it display the ssid bitrate and linkquality on my laptop however it works like a charm with the same config on my desktop
[10:48] <tenX> paul68: it should then list all devices and further info if wireless functionality for a device is given
[10:48] <ftab> cwillu: thanks for the help now I think I have a complete audio package setup ony My PC
[10:48] <tenX> cwillu: everything works but conky
[10:49] <tenX> cwillu: you ever heart of that species?
[10:49] <mohsen> please chat to me
[10:49] <tenX> mohsen: chat
[10:49] <ftab> some one told me before that pulseaudio is scrap that's why I got that delete month ago
[10:49] <ftab> :)
[10:49] <jonaskoelker> mohsen: hello
[10:49] <paul68> tenX: on every device negative response
[10:49] <mohsen> hello
[10:50] <ntdo> hello
[10:50] <mohsen> my printer
[10:50] <tenX> paul68: but you still use a wlan connection?
[10:50] <cwillu> tenX, I had it installed for about 15 minutes once :p
[10:50] <paul68> tenX: for iwconfig no wireless devices are present, however I am very well connected through wifi
[10:50] <shepherd> whaaat is a channel where i can just chaat about sstuff?/
[10:50] <cwillu> ftab, don't rub it in now :p
[10:50] <paul68> tenX: Yes I do
[10:50] <jonaskoelker> shepherd: #fluxbox-chitchat
[10:50] <jim_p> what is a .cpio file?
[10:50] <ftab> cwillu: of-course i won't now :)
[10:50] <tenX> paul68: you must be a magician. that doesnt explain to me
[10:51] <karname> hello , i need a ssh client that work in windows cmd (without gui),how can help me?
[10:51] <shepherd> jonaskoelker: there is no    oen in ther and it is 5 am  who i going to chat?
[10:51] <tenX> cwillu: for what reason? observing its bugs?
[10:51] <ezerhoden> karname: putty ?
[10:51] <tenX> ezerhoden: thats a guy ;)
[10:51] <paul68> tenX: lol I only wish, then I would have known how to get this output lol
[10:51] <jonaskoelker> shepherd: dunno
[10:51] <tenX> ezerhoden: s/y/i
[10:51] <karname> ezerhoden : i need program that haven't gui
[10:52] <eights> karname: http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/
[10:52] <shepherd> i did cocain tonight
[10:52] <tenX> paul68: and ifconfig -a again? the device having obtained the ip?
[10:52] <shepherd> not the best choice, but it was the right one
[10:52] <paul68> tenX: and in ifconfig -a I get my wlan with correct ip
[10:53] <shepherd> how do i connect to a different server with  chaatty people?
[10:53] <jonaskoelker> shepherd: /server <name of server with chatty people>
[10:53] <tenX> paul68: but that device is not listed in iwconfig at all or without wlan caps?
[10:53] <Dr_willis> shepherd,  therzs 1000's of channels here.
[10:54] <ftab> jim_p: thanks for your help too
[10:54] <Dr_willis> shepherd,  try #hottub :) or somting
[10:54] <paul68> tenX: correct thats why i am lost lol
[10:54] <nyaa> shepherd try /join #cocaine. Maybe you'll find likeminded people there =)
[10:54] <jim_p> ftab, you are welcome
[10:54] <uid0> lol
[10:54] <cwillu> ftab, there, found a mic, and what do you know, it just worked :p
[10:55] <tenX> paul68: i am also puzzled :) doesnt make sense to me. probably conky is the cause of all evil
[10:55] <cwillu> probably the only thing that actually works on my laptop right now (go alpha 3!) :)
[10:55] <ftab> cwillu: haaahahahaha
[10:55] <gareth_> trying to install wicd.deb  but there's a conflict with the network manager which I've HAVE uninstalled?
[10:55] <jonaskoelker> question for y'all: my firefox has a nasty habit of starting in offline mode.  How do I make it not do that?
[10:55] <shepherd> join #hottub i'm make you an op if you take offff your bottoms
[10:55] <cwillu> jonaskoelker, manually configured network?
[10:55] <ftab> some times it just happens when you give it a try so I went and tried all
[10:55] <paul68> tenX: no probably my network installation as such like I mentioned it was listed as eth1 before and just changed it into wlan0
[10:56] <shepherd> join #cocain if you can give me the chemical compound for IT
[10:56] <jonaskoelker> cwillu: no
[10:56] <cwillu> jonaskoelker, about:config, and set toolkit.networkmanager.disable to true
[10:56] <shepherd> #chemisty
[10:56] <shepherd> #physics
[10:56] <cwillu> jonaskoelker, by 'manually configured', I mean anything other than network manager
[10:56] <jonaskoelker> cwillu: oh, then yes
[10:56] <ftab> jim_p: I guess PulseAudio is better then OSS, because OSS locks the device
[10:56] <tenX> paul68: but hey thats why i stick to using the console and deactivate automatic configuration. it's the root of all evil in so many cases..
[10:57] <cwillu> ftab, now you're just asking for trouble, _and_ sounding silly :p

[11:04] <Melik> i got 1 more question, whats the name of the xfce window manager?
[11:04] <jonaskoelker> nyaa: I uncheck "file -> work offline"
[11:05] <ezerhoden> xfwm4
[11:05] <oskar-> Melik:  xfwm4 or xfwm, afaik

[11:06] <ezerhoden> Melik: what are you trying to do?
[11:06] <lor> it didn't work
[11:06] <Wolv3> how is the commando to alway on top??

[11:07] <estudiante> Hello
[11:07] <kinja-sheep> What's the general cause for green bar in VLC?  Codecs? <_<
[11:07] <jim_p> fight, look at this too http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate
[11:08] <shepherd> why isn't sudo apt-get pron wokring?
[11:08] <estudiante> Can my SWAP partition be extended ?
[11:08] <jim_p> estudiante, yes
[11:08] <lor> any other ideas on how to uninstall though terminal for xasteroids
[11:08] <estudiante> jim_p: reallly?
[11:08] <cwillu> estudiante, you can just make a swapfile even, it'll use it only after your existing swap is full
[11:08] <jim_p> lor, how did you install xasteroids?
[11:08] <jim_p> estudiante, yea, with a live cd and gparted
[11:08] <kbrosnan> nyaa: jonaskoelker create the pref toolkit.networkmanager.disable and set it to false
[11:08] <ein2015> Melik: i dont remember what it is... i think if you look around or do some googling you'll find it
[11:09] <kbrosnan> nyaa: jonaskoelker err true
[11:09] <Melik> it was xfwm4
[11:09] <cwillu> kbrosnan, he's already done that :p
[11:09] <jonaskoelker> kbrosnan: it already existed, I set it to true, and nothing changed
[11:09] <jonaskoelker> kbrosnan: (AFAICT)
[11:09] <mathijs> Hi all, I'm trying to connect my bluetooth car stereo to my laptop, but it's not detectable when I scan for devices. The stereo does connect to my phone when I press the bluetooth-button on it, so I guess I have to emulate a mobile phone. Is there a way to set this up and still have a bluetooth-alsa device?\
[11:09] <Melik> XFCE is soooooooo much better than gnome
[11:09] <jonaskoelker> mozillazine is certainly taking it's sweet time loading that page...
[11:10] <lor> through synaptic package manager but there was an error message
[11:10] <jim_p> Melik, can it do group selection of desktop items by draging? no. 1 point for gnome
[11:10] <cwillu> jonaskoelker, edit | preferences | advanced | network | settings, it's not set to auto-detect is it?
[11:11] <estudiante> Well, let me make it easier When I installed Ubuntu I unwillingly set the SWAP size to 20GB, so now, I'm resiziing it. But, gparted pops out an error, I've got too much prim partitions, so the one I'm gonna use for SWAP will be extended, is it ok?
[11:11] <ezerhoden> jim_p: can you drag windows from one desktop to another in the from the workspace switcher? no, one point for xfce
[11:11] <lord_rob> Hi ! Is there a documentation explaining how those root=UUID=b60efb08-e283-4742-aba4-959f3d0b1551 in grub (for example) work ? I was used tu using root=/dev/hdX or /dev/sdX
[11:11] <cwillu> estudiante, yep, that's fine
[11:11] <e-colin> !list
[11:11] <jonaskoelker> cwillu: that takes me to the foxyproxy dialog box
[11:12] <jim_p> ezerhoden, ok so now we are even :P . i dont want to cause a fight, but i hate that option missing in xfce
[11:12] <estudiante> cwillu: No interfere with Kernel Memory Managment in this case?
[11:12] <cwillu> jonaskoelker, apparently there's some logic in there that might be doing an actual network test.  Try starting in -safe-mode, or otherwise disabling foxyproxy temporarily to check if that's causing an interaction
[11:12] <cwillu> estudiante, no, extended partitions are fine
[11:12] <estudiante> cwillu: even as SWAP?
[11:13] <ezerhoden> jim_p: no fight, just having fun. i have used xfce for the past 4 years until a week ago when i installed ubuntu. i am having a bit of withdraw
[11:13] <cwillu> estudiante, how many times would you like me to tell you it's okay?
[11:13] <jonaskoelker> cwillu: now "work offline" is unchecked [after I disabled foxyproxy]
[11:13] <estudiante> cwillu: You're kind to help me. Can i have another question?
[11:13] <jonaskoelker> ...
[11:13] <kinja-sheep> Is there a package that allow me to force windows to stay in their workspace?
[11:13] <cwillu> jonaskoelker, i.e., it worked? :/
[11:13] <jonaskoelker> cwillu: yeah
[11:14] <daeron666> hi
[11:14] <daeron666> does anybody know how to change pureftpd's default folder?
[11:14] <ezerhoden> kinja-sheep: look into devilspie
[11:14] <cwillu> estudiante, just ask, don't ask to ask
[11:14] <kinja-sheep> ezerhoden: Will do. :)
[11:14] <ezerhoden> kinja-sheep: not sure of all its features
[11:14] <cwillu> !ask | estudiante,
[11:14] <error404notfound> I just finished playing warzone, great game.... are there any other such games for linux?
[11:14] <cwillu> jonaskoelker, well, that's cute
[11:14] <lor> I found out how to uninstall it through the package manager bye
[11:14] <estudiante> cwillu: all right :)
[11:14] <jim_p> error404notfound, you ccan have a look at linuxgamers.net
[11:14] <daeron666> savage2!!
[11:15] <jonaskoelker> oh wait.  I restarted firefox by clicking "restart firefox" from the add-on window.  That has been known to work previously
[11:15] <cwillu> error404notfound, tremulous
[11:15] <jim_p> error404notfound, * linux-gamers.net
[11:15] <cwillu> heh
[11:15] <daeron666> error404notfound: savage2!!
[11:15] <error404notfound> jim_p: thanks buddy, I really missed games after I started linux, warzone made me remember all of it..
[11:15] <jonaskoelker> it might be that restarting with alt+f4 and manual rerun doesn't work
[11:15] <jim_p> error404notfound, and i want to add quake 3 or openarena to whatever the guys said
[11:15] <daeron666> does anybody know how to change pureftpd's default folder?
[11:15] <error404notfound> cwillu: daeron666: are these in ubuntu repositories? I couldn't find then in Add/Remove
[11:16] <cwillu> error404notfound, tremulous is, although you'll have to enable universe repositories (system | admin | software sources)
[11:16] <error404notfound> jim_p: I hate quake and openarena type games :P, like AOE, WOW, or such games...:P
[11:16] <jonaskoelker> apparent, I have found the `firefix'
[11:16] <cwillu> error404notfound, might enable multiverse too (some proprietary but free games are there)
[11:16] <daeron666> no, savage 2 is a bin file
[11:16] <cwillu> error404notfound, well, don't play trem then :p
[11:17] <daeron666> free from the offical homepage
[11:17] <estudiante> cwillu: Well, I managed to set the SWAP to 2 gb, now I've got 18 of unallocated space free. All the remaining partititions contain data already. Is there any way to merge this "free " space into a one of them?
[11:17] <error404notfound> cwillu: savage2 and that trem both seems like FPS...
[11:17] <cwillu> estudiante, resize the existing ext3 drive into the free'd space
[11:17] <cwillu> estudiante, are you using wubi?
[11:17] <error404notfound> I heard of wolfstein on linux... that's a good game..
[11:17] <audiopathik> may i ask here for help on setting upa dualboot?
[11:17] <cwillu> error404notfound, trem is based on the quake engine (an fps)
[11:17] <cwillu> estudiante, don't resize the partition if you're using wubi
[11:17] <estudiante> cwillu: Not really
[11:17] <daeron666> no, savage2 is either not fps!!!
[11:17] <audiopathik> FPS on unix: nexuiz & openarena are cool too
[11:18] <cwillu> estudiante, not really?
[11:18] <jim_p> error404notfound, a long time ago i said "if you see me playing a strategy game, cut my hand from the wrist below." i just cant stand them. I played warcraft 3 once in my windows days and got my hero killed from the most worthless enemy :P
[11:18] <daeron666> you can play as a strategy game
[11:18] <cwillu> estudiante, if you installed ubuntu via wubi, don't resize the ubuntu partition
[11:18] <O__o> ET is the best
[11:18] <cwillu> or the windows partition
[11:18] <daeron666> like warcraft3;)
[11:18] <error404notfound> jim_p: you know nothing about wow then :P
[11:18] <error404notfound> daeron666: yay!!!!
[11:18] <estudiante> cwillu: I'm using 8.10 live version which I booted up to play around with gpart
[11:18] <jim_p> error404notfound, thankfully no
[11:18] <zamba> i want to set up my computer to set its hostname based on the dhcp information
[11:18] <audiopathik> windows doesnt want to be installed on extended partitions right?
[11:18] <cwillu> estudiante, no, your actual install
[11:18] <zamba> either the reverse lookup of the ip it's been given or some dhcp flag
[11:19] <cwillu> audiopathik, doesn't want to be booted from one at least iirc, although you can get around that
[11:19] <estudiante> cwillu: No, it's a fresh one.
[11:19] <cwillu> estudiante, okay, then resize away :p
[11:19] <error404notfound> man I am in love with warzone. I played WWIII black gold on windows when I was kid, and it brings back memories..
[11:19] <estudiante> cwillu: Yeah, already done that but what about merging?
[11:19] <cwillu> estudiante, merging what?
[11:19] <cwillu> estudiante, resize the partition into the free space, isn't that all you need?
[11:20] <estudiante> cwillu: Sorry, I'm repasting it to you
[11:20] <estudiante> cwillu: ﻿Well, I managed to set the SWAP to 2 gb, now I've got 18 of unallocated space free. All the remaining partititions contain data already. Is there any way to merge this "free " space into a one of them?
[11:20] <cwillu> estudiante, resize one of the existing partitions into the free space
[11:20] <estudiante> cwillu: that was my second question:)
[11:21] <error404notfound> anybody here plays gbrainy?
[11:21] <cwillu> "Is there any way to merge this "free " space into a one of them?"  yes, by resizing them into the free space... :p
[11:21] <mykhi> hi, im having problem with crontab. everytime i try to run X app it says that it cant open display. anyideas? seems popular on google, but cant find working solution

[11:22] <Spectre> Hello,I'm trying to install ubuntu on my asus x51r laptop with windows xp preinstalled,but when I try do to an automatic guided repartitioning I get an error,I have also checked the ntfs partition with chkdsk and I have deframented it without errors
[11:22] <cwillu> estudiante, what kind of partition?
[11:22] <cwillu> estudiante, filesystem, rather
[11:23] <estudiante> cwillu: Well, both FAT32 and ext3 (one is windows and the other is home)
[11:23] <SteveHill> I cannot get Youtube videos to produce sound, even tho I can play standalone videos and music.  What might be the problem?
[11:23] <nyaa> spectre what error do you get?
[11:23] <Spectre> "there was an error during repartitioning"
[11:23] <Spectre> only this
[11:23] <nyaa> spectre you're not messing up hard enough, mess up harder!
[11:24] <error404notfound> daeron666: savage2 is like aoe?
[11:24] <estudiante> cwillu: I'm going to send a screenshoot to you
[11:24] <a931bw> i'm installed KDM how i'm can allow root login/
[11:24] <a931bw> ?
[11:25] <audiopathik> can anyone tell me what that red call sign means in gparted?
[11:25] <jim_p> a931bw, login managers do not allow root login (well slim and xdm do)
[11:25] <cwillu> a931bw, suggest you google 'kdm root login'
[11:25] <jim_p> audiopathik, warning. double click on it to see a message
[11:25] <audiopathik> ah really, thanks
[11:26] <audiopathik> right, ill give the windows install another try, bbl
[11:26] <daeron666> error404notfound: yeah, you can decide the way to play: in fps or like wae3
[11:26] <daeron666> war3
[11:26] <error404notfound> daeron666: hmmm, great... would have been great if it were open source :P
[11:26] <estudiante> cwillu: that's how it looks like http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/7821/screenshotdevsdagpartedxp8.png
[11:27] <cwillu> estudiante, move sda4 to the end of the drive, and then resize sda3 into the free'd space
[11:28] <a931bw> What is standart manager? nod KDM
[11:28] <cwillu> a931bw, kdm or gdm
[11:28] <cwillu> a931bw, they both allow root logins, but you want to think long and hard before you enable it
[11:29] <cwillu> a931bw, root logins are a really good way of hosing your machine, and are pretty much the only way you'd every really be vulnerable to virii or spyware (if/when that starts to exist in the wild)
[11:29] <estudiante> cwillu: Can I ask you what you mean by saying "move to the end of the drive"?
[11:29] <cwillu> a931bw, instructions for both are available from the first hit for google
[11:30] <a931bw> Gdm allow
[11:30] <a931bw> How i'm can enable that?
[11:30] <a931bw> I'm enabled KDM
[11:30] <cwillu> estudiante, right click sda4, hit resize, set 'free space after' to zero
[11:30] <a931bw> now wana GDM
[11:30] <cwillu> a931bw, google it
[11:30] <cwillu> a931bw, I'm not going to give you step by step instructions on hosing your computer :(
[11:32] <artur> Hi

[11:36] <duryodhan> gordonjcp: evolution comes with a calendar
[11:36]  * duryodhan is newbie to ubuntu so doesn't know for sure
[11:37] <gordonjcp> duryodhan: yeah, I meant something like one of the taskbar applets
[11:37] <Axz> Guys whats best way to mount .bin files...
[11:37] <duryodhan> gordonjcp: by default the gnome time (in systray/whatver)  should remind you of your calendar appointments
[11:37] <gordonjcp> duryodhan: I could use Evolution I suppose, but I switched to Thunderbird - one of the first things I do ;-)
[11:37] <gordonjcp> duryodhan: hmmm, haven't seen an option for that
[11:37] <fmeff001> is it possible to generate a xorg.conf-file from a running xserver with a ubuntu livecd???
[11:37] <zamba> thunderbird <3
[11:37] <duryodhan> gordonjcp: setup an appointment and click on the time tray
[11:38] <deamoon> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/109320/
[11:38] <duryodhan> fmeff001: just copy the xorg.conf in /etc/
[11:38] <deamoon> any 1 know how to solvee it
[11:38] <thopiekar> hi there
[11:38] <gordonjcp> duryodhan: in Evolution?
[11:38] <fmeff001> duryodhan: the one in /etc/ looks really sparse, it has no config-options!
[11:38] <kinja-sheep> ezerhoden: Do you know if it is possible to stick one application (firefox eg) in one workspace/viewpoint?
[11:39] <duryodhan> hi .. so copying over the kernel images to my /boot and booting (to install ubuntu) should work fine with a normal ubuntu CD right ? the faq talks about some alternate cd
[11:39] <Deany> umm, ya think it matters what fs you use for virtualbox static files of 10-40gig, since its the files inside that get modified not the vbox file as a whole?
[11:39] <duryodhan> gordonjcp: yeah
[11:39] <thopiekar> Could someone please explain me how to build a single package of multi-source-package? for example: php5 => php5-mysql
[11:39] <duryodhan> fmeff001: what config options ?
[11:39] <gordonjcp> duryodhan: I don't use Evolution, and it seems like overkill for just an appointment reminder ;-)
[11:39] <lopz> hi
[11:39] <duryodhan> gordonjcp: google for calendar apps in linux
[11:39] <thopiekar> hi lopz
[11:39] <duryodhan> gordonjcp: you should get a ton .. I know there is one for kde .. haven't used ubuntu much
[11:40] <gordonjcp> yeah, I'm not that fussed
[11:40] <duryodhan> fmeff001: what are you trying to achieve ?
[11:40] <gordonjcp> duryodhan: I've just knocked something together with a bit of shell script ;-)
[11:40] <lopz> Cannot find codec 'xvid' in libavcodec...
[11:40] <lopz> Couldn't open video filter 'lavc
[11:40] <lopz> any idea?
[11:40] <thopiekar> lopz: are the codecs installed via apt?
[11:40] <fmeff001> duryodhan: i have an intel GMA965 chipset which runs better under ubuntu, so i would like to know, which options ubuntu uses, but /etc/X11/xorg.conf is really sparse and desn't contain further information
[11:41] <duryodhan> fmeff001: better under ubuntu as in .. even in the live cd .. ?
[11:41] <lopz> thopiekar, yes
[11:42] <duryodhan> gordonjcp: trust me .. that would suck compared to waht you can achieve with evolution
[11:42] <gordonjcp> duryodhan: no, it wouldn't
[11:42] <thopiekar> lopz: which player are you using?
[11:42] <duryodhan> gordonjcp: and the stupid thing is gonna run in the bg anyways .. so might as well use it ..
[11:42] <fmeff001> duryodhan: actually im using archlinux, and the gfx-performance under ubuntu is better (glxgears 250 vs. 600 fps)
[11:42] <cristi> how do i create or join a network workgroup? i am haing trouble seeing other ubuntu computers in my network
[11:42] <gordonjcp> duryodhan: nope
[11:42] <craig_> hi all, i had an ext3 partition on a disk and it has been formatted over (no data created) with a new ext3 partition by accident, how can i scan the disk for files and then dump them out to another disk?
[11:42] <lopz> thopiekar, sorry, via synaptic
[11:42] <duryodhan> gordonjcp: I remembered .. lightning is an extension for thunderbird
[11:42] <gordonjcp> duryodhan: I have prevented Evolution from running
[11:42] <lopz> thopiekar, gnome-mplayer
[11:42] <thopiekar> lopz: never mind it'S the same
[11:42] <duryodhan> gordonjcp: not evolution .. the gnome time thingie
[11:42] <thopiekar> hmm
[11:43] <gordonjcp> duryodhan: I don't use it, and would actually pay money for a version of Ubuntu with all traces of Evolution removed
[11:43] <duryodhan> gordonjcp: good for you
[11:43] <thopiekar> try "sudo apt-get install mplayer".. this should install everything for you..
[11:43] <duryodhan> fmeff001: ok .. so when you are running the live cd .. the file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is the file that is being used...
[11:43] <gordonjcp> duryodhan: like I said, since all I need is something to pop up at a couple of predetermined times read from a file, I don't immediately see how Evolution would help ;-)
[11:43] <duryodhan> fmeff001: there are NO config options per se .. its just the correct driver
[11:44] <lopz> thopiekar, ok, wait...
[11:44] <duryodhan> fmeff001: so just copy the file to your archlinux's xorg.conf and run arch
[11:44] <fmeff001> duryodhan: hmk, so perhaps i have too much options on, which turns down performance ...
[11:44] <duryodhan> gordonjcp: then "at" command might help
[11:45] <duryodhan> fmeff001: what options?
[11:45] <lopz> thopiekar, 0 actualizados, 0 se instalarán, 0 para eliminar :\
[11:46] <Morclye> Has anyone got ATI drivers work with HD3850/3870 ?
[11:46] <sarthor> Hi. i want to block limeware from my linux router via iptables.. like.. /sbin/iptables -t nat prerouting/forward/.....limware -j DROP
[11:46] <sarthor> How??
[11:46] <Dreamglider> i just installed ubuntu 8.04 upgraded to 8.10, on mu uncle´s laptop, i had to make a partition to save his pic´s before i removed the crippled windows XP partition, now, can i delete the pic´s backup partition and include the space in the main ubuntu partition ?
[11:47] <fmeff001> duryodhan: http://www.pastie.org/370101
[11:47] <estudiante> cwillu: I just give it a try to ask, (don't want to disturb) You know any way to merge the FAT32 part to a free space, just like with ext3?
[11:47] <thopiekar> lopz: try to edit the settings on the original mplayer gui
[11:47] <cristi> ﻿how do i create or join a network workgroup? i am haing trouble seeing other ubuntu computers in my network
[11:47] <cwillu> estudiante, the free space needs to be next to the fat32 partition, and then it should Just Work (tm).
[11:47] <thopiekar> and try before the command: rm -r ~/.mplayer
[11:48] <thopiekar> this should remove all old (bad) settings
[11:48] <estudiante> cwillu: oh well, it may not be so easy...
[11:48] <duryodhan> fmeff001: so ?
[11:49] <fmeff001> duryodhan: these are the options
[11:49] <sarthor> Hi. i want to block limeware from my linux router via iptables.. like.. /sbin/iptables -t nat prerouting/forward/.....limware -j DROP....How can i???
[11:49] <estudiante> cwillu: So, how can I move it so it's right when it should be?
[11:50] <duryodhan> fmeff001: I am saying .. save a backup .. copy ubuntu''s xorg.conf over your arch's version and run arch
[11:50] <Dr_willis> sarthor,  you would have to figure otu what ports limewire uses those and block those ports..  it can get tricky with some of those p2p apps
[11:50] <fmeff001> duryodhan: i'll give it a try, thx
[11:51] <zamba> is it possible to replicate cups setup?
[11:51] <zamba> meaning, when i add a printer on one host, i want the same to appear on every other machine?
[11:52] <sarthor> Dr_willis, if i found all or maximum ports of limeware, then i can drop them... but problem is this..how to find that ports....
[11:52] <zamba> or rather, make the local cups server contact a central cups server for printer information?
[11:52] <Dr_willis> sarthor,  google is our friend. :) Ive no idea what ports it uses. it very likely can change ports also.
[11:54] <estudiante> cwillu: Hmm, I think I got it by copying&pasting , but I don't really know what it's about :/
[11:55] <Deany> anyone use pcman file manager? its nice and quick and i like it but, opening files that are associated, for example, click an mp3 and it loads xmms, but it loads it twice with a timer cursor for a few seconds
[11:56] <a931bw> How to update to KDE 4?
[11:57] <Dr_willis> a931bw,  see the url in the topic of #kubuntu  :) it has guide
[11:58] <a931bw> i'm on ubuntu)
[11:58] <a931bw> /join #kubuntu
[11:58] <Dr_willis> :)
[11:58] <steffen_> :)
[11:59] <palomer> is there a way to automatically fix id3 tags?
[11:59] <raylu> palomer: define "fix"
[11:59] <Deany> palomer, easytag
[12:00] <palomer> automatically rename the mp3 to the right name
[12:00] <palomer> put the right author/song name
[12:00] <raylu> ...
[12:00] <palomer> I have a rather large collection
[12:00] <transporter> can somebody help me im unable to upload photos
[12:00] <palomer> so I can't do it manually
[12:00] <raylu> what you want isn't id3 tag fixing, you want id3 tagging
[12:00] <Deany> palomer, apt-get install easytag
[12:01] <estudiante> cwillu: I'm getting it now I guess, just realized I messed up my winpart which probably won't boot, eh...
[12:01] <Wolv3> hi how to install Jahshaka?
[12:02] <Dr_willis> !info Jahshaka
[12:02] <Dr_willis> Wolv3,  find a .deb for it..  check the PPA repos. or other unofficial sites..or use source.
[12:03] <graingert> how can I get pulse audio's multicast rtp to stick on one rtp port?
[12:06] <Wolv3> Dr_willis, i have it on repos but no install
[12:06] <transporter> can somebody please help im unable to upload photos
[12:06] <graingert> transporter: where to?
[12:06] <jsfoxton> hi ppl i've installed wine 1.1.13 and office but excel wont run?? Any ideas aas to how to get it to run??
[12:07] <erUSUL> !appdb | jsfoxton
[12:07] <regen> halo.... :D
[12:07] <transporter> graingert: i tried to upload my pics on bebo and fb
[12:07] <erUSUL> jsfoxton: or use native openoffice
[12:07] <jsfoxton> erUSUL : oo cant run the spreadsheet i want
[12:08] <transporter> graingert: i was unable to do so it just said that upload failed it looks to me like a java problem but im not so sure
[12:08] <graingert> transporter: yes it is a know problem to facebook, use the simple HTTP uploader
[12:08] <graingert> transporter: facebook are "working" on the problem
[12:09] <transporter> graingert: well it should not have happened on bebo then
[12:09] <ActionParsnip1> probably very slowly
[12:09] <graingert> transporter: use the simple HTTP uploader system
[12:09] <transporter> graingert: lemme try
[12:11] <transporter> graingert: well it does not give me that option
[12:12] <jsfoxton> guys... how do i find the dirthat has office in?
[12:12] <transporter> graingert: ok sorry it does ooops
[12:12] <ActionParsnip1> jsfoxton: its all over the place, its not specifically in one folder like in windows
[12:13] <ia> could you tell me, please, with all options i should run gpg-agent to disable asking passphrase for some key, when it will be asking?
[12:13] <jsfoxton> Parsnip: I need to get to the dir with excel in it
[12:13] <Dr_willis> jsfoxton,  if you isntalled somthing with wine.. it will be in the .wine/INHERESOMEWHER dir :)
[12:16] <ActionParsnip1> jsfoxton: the binary is in /usr/bin if you are on about openoffice, but th librarys it uses are scattered throughout the system
[12:17] <ActionParsnip1> jsfoxton: if its installed with wine (windows version) it will be in ~/.wine/drve_c/Program\ Files/
[12:17] <Morclye> What would be a good rather heavy game for linux to test 3D capabilities with, preferably fullscreen?
[12:17] <basti_> hi people. what's the recommended way to make modules load automatically at boot time in ubuntu?
[12:18] <ActionParsnip1> jsfoxton: anything else I can clear up or are you ok now?
[12:18] <ActionParsnip1> basti_: edit /etc/modules as sudo and add the name of the module to the bottom of the file with a carridge return on the end
[12:19] <JC_Denton_> The hostname of my ubuntu machine is used in tcp networking, right?
[12:19] <basti_> ActionParsnip1: thats what i thought, but a friend said it wouldn't work, thats why i wanted to make sure. thanks!
[12:19] <deasy> i need help with networking and how to ask the network who's on it (ie get all the machins to tell me their address & hostname) - is there a way to do this?
[12:19] <ActionParsnip1> basti_: cool
[12:19] <lstarnes> JC_Denton_: its IP is used in most cases.  If you're behind a gateway that uses NAT, addresses will be translated
[12:19] <Dreamglider> i just installed ubuntu 8.04 upgraded to 8.10, on mu uncle´s laptop, i had to make a partition(ext3) to save his pic´s before i removed the crippled windows XP partition, now, can i delete the pic´s backup partition and include the space in the main ubuntu partition ?
[12:20] <JC_Denton_> lstarnes: is there a way to find out the hostname of other machines on the network?
[12:20] <fmeff001> which kernel version is used in the current live-cd of ubuntu?
[12:20] <ActionParsnip1> JC_Denton_: yes, if the software you are using uses a connection oriented connection
[12:20] <lieuwe> Dreamglider->you should first copy the pics to the main partition, then delete your backup
[12:21] <ActionParsnip1> JC_Denton_: like ftp uses hostname toconnect and is connection oriented so will use TCP but the hostname (or netbios name) will be resolved using DNS to an IP address
[12:22] <erUSUL> fmeff001: 2.6.27*
[12:22] <JC_Denton_> so my local network would need to implement a local dns server for its hosts ActionParsnip1 ?
[12:22] <erUSUL> deasy: scan the network with nmap
[12:22] <Dreamglider> lieuwe done
[12:22] <basti_> ActionParsnip1: in case you want to know, his fault was to write "modprobe <module>" in there... ;)
[12:23] <fmeff001> hmk, and Ext4 is stable since 2.6.28 right?
[12:23] <JC_Denton_> ActionParsnip1: hostname and netbios name are synonymous?
[12:23] <erUSUL> fmeff001: that's what devs said
[12:24] <ActionParsnip1> JC_Denton_: yeah they are the same difference
[12:24] <erUSUL> jsfoxton: wine install all software on your home dir ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/
[12:25] <fmeff001> does any1 have experiences with ext4 so far?
[12:25] <zamba> i'm looking for a set of tools to remotely administer a set of computers running ubuntu
[12:26] <zamba> identical hardware and identical installation of ubuntu
[12:26] <jsfoxton> erUSUL: thanks i found it but i cant seem to cd through Program files to start through terminal because of the space is there a work around?
[12:27] <erUSUL> jsfoxton: you either use "Program Files" or Program\ Files
[12:28] <zamba> what java version should i install on ubuntu?
[12:28] <zamba> i only need it for firefox
[12:28] <ActionParsnip1> JC_Denton_: the name is only used in the first stage and gets translated to an ip as computers dont use names, they use numbers
[12:28] <erUSUL> zamba: sun-java6-plugin
[12:28] <zamba> i'd prefer one that doesn't crash my browser everytime it runs
[12:28] <zamba> erUSUL: that crashes my browser
[12:28] <jsfoxton> erUSUL: nope that didnt work
[12:28] <ActionParsnip1> JC_Denton_: if you are using a connectionless applicatin (like tftp) where connection isnt used you will be using UDP/IP instead of TCP/IP
[12:29] <erUSUL> jsfoxton: cd "Program Files"
[12:29] <ActionParsnip1> JC_Denton_: but its the same for the rest, just that transmissions are not authenticated
[12:29] <zamba> erUSUL: that's 6.11, right?
[12:29] <marco_> I have to adjust time to one hour earlier but, each time the system boots it goes back to one hour later. is there a solution ( sorry my english)
[12:29] <JC_Denton_> ActionParsnip1: you see I would like to find out the hostnames of some of the machines on my local network so I was wondering if I could query the dns server for them
[12:29] <JC_Denton_> I do have their IP's
[12:30] <erUSUL> !info sun-java6-plugin
[12:30] <jarco> hello. Is therer a command line command to see how fast i am transmitting data to and from the internet atm?
[12:30] <PeoplesAdvocate> anyone know how to edit mp3 tags in the Terminal?
[12:30] <ActionParsnip1> JC_Denton_: you could use fping to see what IPs are on your lan, then run ping -a <ip to resolve the name>
[12:30] <JC_Denton_> ActionParsnip1: thanks
[12:30] <ActionParsnip1> JC_Denton_: if you have a simple home network using DHCP, you can access your router
[12:31] <ActionParsnip1> JC_Denton_: to see the dhcp clients which will give you a list
[12:31] <ActionParsnip1> JC_Denton_: systems on static ip won't show up there
[12:33] <marco_> each time tvtime starts the sounf level of line in goes back to a previous level. is there a way of setting it in a way it never changes each time tvtime starts?
[12:33] <zamba> how can i make the restricted drivers check if there exist restricted drivers for my system?
[12:33] <zamba> force it to manually check, i mean
[12:34] <ActionParsnip1> marco_: is there a default starting volume level like in vlc?
[12:34] <jeeves_Moss> ActionParsnip1, hey man, thanks again for your help the other day with that issue
[12:35] <ActionParsnip1> jeeves_Moss: no worries bro
[12:35] <ActionParsnip1> jeeves_Moss: you may help me one day, its how this all works
[12:35] <jeeves_Moss> ActionParsnip1, what's new with you?
[12:35] <jeeves_Moss> ActionParsnip1, I put in my time when I can here
[12:35] <ActionParsnip1> jeeves_Moss: just chillin, watching "are you smarter than a 10 year old"
[12:35] <ActionParsnip1> jeeves_Moss: cool :)
[12:35] <marco_> ActionParsnipl, Maybe but nothing I can see. perhaps a command line option. Tvtime has a lot of command line options
[12:36] <JC_Denton_> ActionParsnip1: thanks. didn't know about fping. Like the -d parameter. uses dns lookup
[12:36] <Dreamglider> can anyone help me, i have 6gb of unused space on my harddisk i want to include it in the main ext3 partition
[12:36] <jeeves_Moss> ActionParsnip1, lol.  in Vancouver, it dosen't take much.
[12:36] <ActionParsnip1> JC_Denton_: theres more than one way to skin a cat
[12:36] <marco_> I guess I need to go to the homepage of tvtime and look for a command that can control the volume
[12:36] <zamba> is it possible to deploy system-wide extensions in firefox?
[12:37] <ActionParsnip1> Dreamglider: you can resize partitions in livecd
[12:37] <karamazov> hi
[12:37] <ActionParsnip1> Dreamglider: i'd backup your data incase bad things happen
[12:37] <karamazov> i changed directory to /
[12:37] <karamazov> and i typed ls -li
[12:37] <Jonfun> So are we all tech geeks here or a variation of all people?  Hi, my name is Jonfun and addicted to Linux and its open source.  I'm trying to quit that other evil OS and switch to this one but am trying to overcome the learning curve.
[12:37] <karamazov> i've seen that
[12:37] <karamazov> sys and proc directories have the same inode numbers
[12:38] <karamazov> but they are completely different directories
[12:38] <karamazov> how is that?
[12:38] <JC_Denton_> ActionParsnip1: puzzling thing is, it only manages to lookup the hostname of a single host... when attempted with other the dns query fails
[12:38] <coolpro> hello. SFTP is secure ftp, yes?
[12:38] <sYildirim> coolpro: yep
[12:38] <karamazov> does anybody know why /sys and /proc has same inode numbers?
[12:38] <coolpro> it's connection by SSH?
[12:39] <ActionParsnip1> coolpro: yeah it runs over ssh
[12:39] <sYildirim> connection is encyrpted but not ssh
[12:39] <marco_> ActionParsnipl, I found the command tvtime-command mixer-up
[12:39] <coolpro> how to set home directory of user?
[12:39] <sYildirim> ActionParsnip1: ssh one is scp
[12:39] <ActionParsnip1> sYildirim: oh yeah, my bad
[12:39] <sYildirim> (:
[12:39] <coolpro> what is scp? :/
[12:39] <karamazov> secure copy
[12:40] <karamazov> ?
[12:40] <Speeder> what is the closest server from brazil?
[12:40] <sYildirim> scp is a file transfer protocol like ftp but is uses ssh at background
[12:40] <sYildirim> but sftp is secure too
[12:40] <coolpro> but if i want to use scp, ssh server must be running, yes?
[12:40] <graingert> Speeder-> ubuntu automaticly chooses the best server if you run the choose best server tool
[12:41] <graingert> coolpro-> or rsh server
[12:41] <sYildirim> coolpro: yes
[12:41] <Speeder> graingert how I run that?
[12:41] <graingert> coolpro-> I would recomend setting up pg
[12:41] <graingert> p
[12:41] <rebel_cli> how can i get the pid's of all processes running in a specific tty
[12:41] <Deany> Speeder, there are 3 in brazil that i know of
[12:41] <graingert> Speeder-> it's in synaptic package manager
[12:41] <sYildirim> rebel_cli: pidof ?
[12:41] <coolpro> if i connect by scp so i have to use unix-users data (username and password)
[12:41] <coolpro> yes?
[12:41] <ActionParsnip1> rebel_cli: ps -ef | grep <app>
[12:42] <sYildirim> coolpro: yes
[12:42] <Deany> Speeder, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#mirrors    (at the bottom)
[12:42] <coolpro> and how to create a new user?
[12:42] <rebel_cli> sYildirim: that will get me the pid of an app, not the pid of processes running within ttyx
[12:42] <ActionParsnip1> !adduser | coolpro
[12:42] <Speeder> Deany how I make apt-get download from there?
[12:43] <rebel_cli> ActionParsnip1: close enough to make me figure it out ;) ty, its ps -ef | grep ttyx
[12:43] <ActionParsnip1> rebel_cli: you can grep anything
[12:43] <ActionParsnip1> rebel_cli: if its on a line it will show
[12:43] <graingert> Speeder-> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-select-fastest-mirror-in-ubuntu.html
[12:44] <ActionParsnip1> JC_Denton_: you could also nslookup
[12:44] <Speeder> thank you all :)
[12:44] <rebel_cli> ActionParsnip1: yeah i figured that out recently lol, i just didnt remember that ps -ef would give me the tty its running in
[12:44] <ActionParsnip1> rebel_cli: well the -e shows EVERYBODYS running processes
[12:45] <ActionParsnip1> rebel_cli: -f shows full format listing
[12:45] <lucypher> Hi, today it's my birthday and I've received a MS wireless keyboard ;-)
[12:45] <ActionParsnip1> happy birthday lucypher
[12:46] <paul_> hello. if i wanted to rename a load of picture files to the date thay were created, is there a simple command that could do this
[12:46] <coolpro> what is ProFTPD Server, it isn't scp?
[12:46] <rebel_cli> ActionParsnip1: ty
[12:46] <ActionParsnip1> its my unbirthday today
[12:46] <lstarnes> coolpro: it's ftp, hence the FTPD
[12:46] <lucypher> happy unbirthday to you
[12:46] <coolpro> but i don't need it if i have ssh?
[12:46] <thopiekar> I found a bug in the apt-sources.. to make a fresh debhelper .deb I need man-db but man-db requires debhelper, too...!!
[12:46] <gordonjcp> coolpro: ftp is horrible, never ever ever use it
[12:46] <rdw200169> coolpro, god no, openssh-server already does scp
[12:47] <gordonjcp> coolpro: except possibly to frighten small children
[12:47] <rdw200169> coolpro, ssh is more than a shell, the shell feature is actually only one of it's many features
[12:47] <gordonjcp> there are only a few very specialised reasons for using FTP these days
[12:47] <lucypher> Well... I'm here 'cause I can't get multimedia keys working.
[12:47] <gordonjcp> no normal person should *ever* use FTP
[12:48] <rdw200169> gordonjcp, i disagree, ftp has many uses
[12:48] <coolpro> how to set home directory for user, when connection by scp?
[12:48] <gordonjcp> rdw200169: no sensible ones, any more
[12:48] <rdw200169> gordonjcp, well, it's just about the only way to provide files for windows/linux/mac easily
[12:48] <gordonjcp> rdw200169: no
[12:48] <rdw200169> gordonjcp, w/out having to set up machivalian samba rules, etc...
[12:48] <rdw200169> gordonjcp, then tell me, what is better?
[12:48] <gordonjcp> rdw200169: if people are downloading stuff, use http
[12:48] <danbhfive> how do I get rid of nag screens regarding unlocking the default keyring?  I just want it unlocked all the time
[12:48] <ActionParsnip1> gordonjcp: you can download the ubuntu iso via ftp
[12:49] <Chungwa> Hello all. I've got another silly question. Yesterday my DVD RW stopped working in Ubuntu - like it won't recognize CD, DVDs or blanks. I pulled it and stuck it in my WinXP comp and it works OK. I'm not exactly sure what I did to it in Ubuntu (I was trying to make a DVD movie the day before and was using it heavily). Any ideas on what I should try? And what information do I need to supply to get advice?
[12:49] <gordonjcp> rdw200169: if people need to upload stuff, they need to use sftp
[12:49] <zamba> when i connect to a share through the "Network" option in "Places" i get a "<share> at <hostname>" link in my places.. how can i automatically set up the same share upon logon? and also point this to my Documents folder?
[12:49] <ActionParsnip1> danbhfive: have a blank password and it won't
[12:49] <rdw200169> gordonjcp, i'm not talking about uploading, just downloading
[12:49] <coolpro> i want to create a user "eimis" to be able to see only /var/www/eimis.upsy.lt directory and subdirectories when connecting by scp
[12:49] <gordonjcp> rdw200169: well, there's no need for FTP there, just use http
[12:49] <danbhfive> ActionParsnip1: do you know how to change the password?
[12:49] <anokka> i'm installing ubuntu for a friend
[12:49] <ActionParsnip1> danbhfive: let me websearch
[12:49] <gordonjcp> rdw200169: do you actually know how FTP works?
[12:49] <rdw200169> gordonjcp, ah, but what if the files are on a NAS which only has FTP/SAMBA
[12:50] <rdw200169> gordonjcp, of course i do
[12:50] <adaptr> rdw200169: if a NAS only has FTP then it is not a NAS
[12:50] <anokka> i did a 100mb /boot, 20gb / and 100gb /home. they're all primary partitions, is this OK?
[12:50] <gordonjcp> rdw200169: so you know that both the server and client have to have two ports accessible on a live network?
[12:50] <JC_Denton_> Is there a tool to query a dns server?
[12:50] <rdw200169> gordonjcp, yes.
[12:50] <gordonjcp> rdw200169: you can hack round it with passive mode, if both ends support it
[12:51] <gordonjcp> rdw200169: it's fundamentally retarded
[12:51] <rdw200169> gordonjcp, but PASV is a pain to get working right
[12:51] <gordonjcp> exactly
[12:51] <anokka> all partitions are primary, no logical partitions. is this cool?
[12:51] <gordonjcp> anokka: should be okay
[12:51] <MrEgg964> anokka: did you make a swap partition ?
[12:51] <coolpro> so, anyone knows
[12:51] <coolpro> ?
[12:51] <anokka> MrEgg964: no, sould it be at the end?
[12:51] <ActionParsnip1> JC_Denton_: yeah it will try to resolve the ip to a name
[12:51] <anokka> MrEgg964: i forgot about swap.. :)
[12:51] <rdw200169> gordonjcp, and some internet browsers suck for http directories
[12:52] <graingert> JC_Denton_-> ping
[12:52] <gordonjcp> rdw200169: I won't provide FTP for anyone, for any reason.  The only thing I use it for are some 15-year-old pieces of seriously crappy equipment that actually require it
[12:52] <MrEgg964> anokka: you need swap, put it at the end if you want
[12:52] <rdw200169> gordonjcp, to each their own ;)
[12:52] <gordonjcp> rdw200169: <shrug> Here's A Nickel, Buy A Real Browser
[12:52] <Speeder> the synaptic thing to choose best mirror only work from Hardy onward?
[12:52] <JC_Denton_> graingert: ActionParsnip1 thanks. Will ping also try to lookup the hostname even if the host doesnt reply to icmp packets?
[12:52] <jsfoxton> hi guys i'm getting an IOPL not enabled error when running excel in wine. I've tried modding the dll's as per winehq but still wont run. Word run perfectly. Any clues guys?
[12:52] <rdw200169> gordonjcp, don't tell *me* that, tell everyone else
[12:52] <graingert> JC_Denton_-> no ping the ip of a dns server
[12:52] <marco_> I have to adjust time to one hour earlier but, each time the system boots it goes back to one hour later. is there a solution ?
[12:53] <Otacon22> Why  is the gnome bluetooth manager bugged?
[12:53] <anokka> MrEgg964: ok, so i'll resize /home to be 2048mb smaller and set it as swap - again primary?
[12:53] <gordonjcp> rdw200169: the FTP server I run is locked down to four specific IP addresses, and is only run for very short periods of time twice a day
[12:53] <rdw200169> gordonjcp, i'm here, aren't i?
[12:53] <jrib> coolpro: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ap-chroot-ssh-env.en.html I guess, though I think it's usually overkill

[12:53] <graingert> !question | Otacon22
[12:53] <MrEgg964> anokka: is there any other OS on that hard drive ?
[12:53] <ActionParsnip1> JC_Denton_: it will resolve the name but the pings will be reported as lost if icmp replys are disabled
[12:53] <anokka> MrEgg964: xp which will be wiped out
[12:53] <lucypher> How can I map multimedia keys?
[12:54] <JC_Denton_> thanks. funny think is wireshark will resolve hostnames but ping doesnt
[12:54] <lucypher> I've tried with xev but some keys aren't recognized...
[12:54] <graingert> lucypher-> keyboard settings in settings menu
[12:54] <anokka> MrEgg964: i'm using the whole disk but wanted /home and / to be on separate partitions
[12:54] <jrib> lucypher: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys
[12:54] <graingert> lucypher-> if not recognised bye xev they won't work unless you write the driver
[12:54] <graingert> lucypher-> :-p
[12:54] <MrEgg964> anokka: OK - you can only have a max of 4 primary partitions on a drive. If you need more than a total of 4 partitions, you need to create an extended partition. Familiar with that ?
[12:54] <jrib> lucypher: they may still work (see the wiki)

[12:55] <anokka> MrEgg964: yep, just been a while i've thought about this stuff

[13:00] <jrib> lucypher: you tried selecting the layout for Microsoft Wireless Keyboard in system -> preferences -> keyboard?
[13:00] <zamba> or. rather.. how can i point the documents folder to a smb:// location?
[13:00] <ActionParsnip1> Bupuntu: change the icon i guess
[13:00] <rdw200169> zamba, you can take a shot at smbfs
[13:01] <audiopathik> if i simply copy all files, resize my ext3 partition and copy all the data back, will everything work as it did before?

[13:01] <zamba> rdw200169: point is.. the way gvfs mounts the remote share is much better than using /etc/fstab
[13:01] <Bupuntu> ActionParsnip1, well... i could, but it did automatically before... and what if i'm using different usb all the dime?
[13:01] <Bupuntu> *time
[13:01] <zamba> rdw200169: charsets and permissions are set just perfect

[13:02] <rdw200169> zamba, yeah, i think it's cifs now, actually
[13:02] <jrib> zamba: read the first link ubottu gave you
[13:03] <zamba> jrib: oh, ok
[13:03] <deasy_> does anyone in here use POE
[13:03] <deasy_> does anyone in here use POE
[13:03] <deasy_> (or is that EOP?
[13:03] <ActionParsnip1> Bupuntu: you could use uids in fstab to automount
[13:03] <jrib> deasy_: just ask your question about POE and say what it is...
[13:03] <deasy_> (sorry if repeats, not sure how my internet is holding up
[13:03] <MrEgg964> zamba: you need to install cifs, and then mount your smb share in fstab

[13:03] <tarun> hi guys
[13:04] <zamba> i don't want to use fstab
[13:04] <zamba> i want to use nautilus and/or gvfs
[13:04] <jrib> zamba: why?  fstab is how you do what you ask
[13:04] <jrib> zamba: nautilus will still see it
[13:04] <getmmg> WHO
[13:04] <jrib> getmmg: stop
[13:04] <tarun> I am stuck with a problem from 10 days. but could not figure it out.
[13:04] <zamba> jrib: because that becomes a system-wide mount, i only want it for the currently logon user
[13:04] <Jimmey> is there a multithreaded application that can convert a .avi into a file playable by a DVD player, using threads/more than one core?
[13:04] <zamba> logged-on user*
[13:04] <tarun> even after lot's of googling. but nothing productive.
[13:04] <rdw200169> zamba, here's an example, from mine: /192.168.0.201/PUBLIC/ /media/music cifs      rw,mand,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=randy,uid=randy,password=######,user 0 0
[13:05] <tarun> is there anyone who can help me regarding permission issue on ubuntu?
[13:05] <zamba> rdw200169: and there you don't account for the different charsets and permissions and stuff
[13:05] <MrEgg964> Zamba: wrong - if your mount point is within a specific user space, it will only be accessible by that user. That's the beauty.
[13:05] <zamba> rdw200169: gvfs or nautilus fixes all that for me
[13:05] <wet> tarun, what kind of problem is that?
[13:05] <rdw200169> zamba, it works for what i do
[13:06] <zamba> rdw200169: yeah, but english is probably your first language.. i'm from norway and i use special characters :)
[13:06] <tarun> wet: my document root have owner ship and group like community:www-data
[13:06] <cezi> ./server krakow.irc.pl
[13:06] <tarun> with the permission: 2750.
[13:06] <jrib> zamba: are you able to use gvfs-mount now as your user to mount it?
[13:06] <rdw200169> zamba, UTF-8, right?
[13:06] <tarun> and one of the directory where i want you upload files having permission "2770".
[13:06] <deasy_> jrib, sorry - i have a network that extends to another mains circuit into a POE box, and on to another couple of machines on POE boxs but they seem to slow the whole network down when connected (they were destroying the network completely) - Q is, is this normal?
[13:07] <zamba> jrib: i just browse to smb://netbios/share and it's automatically mounted for me
[13:07] <tarun> But when i tried to create directory and upload files. it is showing me wrong ownership.
[13:07] <tarun> and that's why fopen, fwrite getting failed.
[13:07] <rdw200169> zamba, i read somewhere that since NT windows, they use Unicode
[13:07] <jrib> zamba: yeah, I understand.  I'm asking if you can mount it with gvfs-mount
[13:07] <wet> tarun, did you try in root user?
[13:08] <tarun> i can do that from shell. that is fine.
[13:08] <tarun> but when php script try to create directory/file.
[13:08] <comutamike> hi - can I ask a quick question about Ubuntu config files?  I got a Ubuntu 6.06 server virtual appliance, and it has a cool information screen on TTY4 - I was assuming that this would be configured in inittab, but it doesn't seem to be.  i've found the script that runs to make this cool info screen, but I was expecting to see some config for it in inittab.  What am I missing?
[13:08] <tarun> it is giving www-data:www-data
[13:08] <tarun> but expected is community:www-data
[13:08] <audiopathik> how can i backup my ubuntu install so i can copy it to another partition of same filesystem but with whatever size?
[13:08] <Pelias> 1) How do I scroll screen up/down in busybox?

[13:09] <tuntun> Hello. Currently when I search for a file/folder in Nautilus, go into one of the found folders and then hit the back button, I have to wait for Nautilus to do the original search all over again. This strikes me as very silly and is stressful. How can this be stopped? Additionally how do I get a "folder path" column in the search results. Thanks.
[13:09] <zamba> jrib: yeah, i can
[13:09] <Pelias> 3) How does ubuntu booting procedure looks like (links with description preferred)?
[13:10] <tarun> wet: how can i force new directory and files to be having community:www-data
[13:10] <audiopathik> !backup
[13:10] <Dreamglider> ActionParsnip1 i did backup my important stuff, and am now in the liveCD, chal i just delete the partition and resize the main partition ?
[13:10] <jrib> zamba: then put that command in system -> preferences -> sessions -> startup I guess.  Though I don't really see the issue with fstab (add the right options for your charset woes)
[13:10] <Golanster> can anyone help me with configuring my wireless connection ?
[13:11] <zamba> jrib: or even use pammount, right?
[13:11] <DJones> i/quit
[13:11] <zamba> jrib: is it possible to then point the userdir "Documents" to a gvfs-mounted location?
[13:12] <bmm> If I run "sudo mount --bind -o ro /bin bin" from my home directory, then the files in bin are not read only and sudo vim bin/zless can still change the files. Mount says (ro,bind), but still ro is not applied. What is going wrong?

[13:13] <Dreamglider> can i delete the swap partition and create a new one at the end of the disk ?
[13:13] <jrib> zamba: don't know if pmount would work.  You can try changing ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, but it may not work if the path doesn't exist whenever gnome checks if the path does or does not exist
[13:13] <zamba> jrib: but gvfs doesn't give me a path to work with.. .gvfs is empty
[13:14] <jrib> zamba: thus my warning

[13:14] <gorgapor> What's the package for libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 ?
[13:14] <zamba> jrib: but gvfs has to mount the share somewhere in the filesystem? or is it a "virtual" mount
[13:15] <redfox01> i have followed every instruction i can find online and cant figure it out
[13:15] <coolpro> can i connect to webmin with unix user and password?

Googled for ages, asked in various channels for help, still nothing. Any help please?
[13:20] <jrib> deasy_: I meant to ask the channel, I don't know what POE is
[13:20] <jrib> zamba: after mounting the share?
[13:20] <zamba> jrib: yup.. that's what puzzles me as well
[13:20] <zamba> jrib: because i know it has been populated earlier when i've mounted using gvfs
[13:20] <prcctv> hello ,where are you all come from?
[13:20] <gorgapor> Does anyone know how to install libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 on intrepid? It used to be in the package libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2, but that package doesn't exist anymore in gutsy.
[13:21] <comutamike> JessicaParker: I just checked WGET (ubuntu 6.06) and there was no mirror option...
[13:21] <rdw200169> jrib, POE is Power over Ethernet, generally for VoIP phones
[13:21] <redfox01> how do i get rid of error grub 21?
[13:21] <audiopathik> can i copy a working ubuntu install completely to another drive and it will work?
[13:21] <audiopathik> if the hardware is the same
[13:21] <gorgapor> audiopathik: if you image the whole drive, instead of just copying files, then probably yes
[13:21] <fearlessdawg> redox1: see here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=62717
[13:21] <marco_>  well, now I just need to figure out a way of setting the volume of tvtime to a level that never changes each time I restart tvtime. any ideas?

[13:21] <JessicaParker> ive got 8
[13:22] <rdw200169> jrib, there are also some small wireless routers out there that can be powered by POE
[13:22] <audiopathik> gorgapor, i need to copy it to a partition thats bigger than the original
[13:22] <JessicaParker> version 8
[13:22] <gorgapor> audiopathik: i think you need to image it, then use gparted to expand the partition to fill the bigger drive
[13:22] <deasy_> if I have an adsl  modem/router set to 10.0.0.1 and a wireless router set to 10.0.0.2 taking the wireless connection but dhcp fwding to 10.0.0.1, could that cause me problems when other stuff is introduced? or should the wireless router be set to another subnet?
[13:22] <deasy_> jrib - sorry anxiety got the better of me.
[13:22] <gorgapor> audiopathik: google for "linux drive image dd"
[13:22] <redfox01> thank you
[13:23] <deasy_> POE - Power Over Ethernet... does anybody have experience of it?
[13:23] <jrib> zamba: I just tried here with my share on the same machine and got a folder "shared on localhost" inside .gvfs
[13:23] <audiopathik> alright thanks
[13:23] <gorgapor> audiopathik: dd is the tool that basically reads everything on one drive and sends it verbatim to the new drive, even copying partition tables and stuff
[13:23] <rdw200169> deasy_, what are you trying to do w/it?
[13:23] <zamba> jrib: strange.. i don't get that

[13:24] <caoyungh> hehe
[13:24] <audiopathik> gorgapor, i know, but im not sure how to expand the image to the new size
[13:24] <caoyungh> today is Chinese Spring Festival
[13:24] <gorgapor> audiopathik: gparted i believe comes with the base install
[13:24] <audiopathik> or if i can simply copy the image of a smaller ext3 part. to a bigger one
[13:24] <caoyungh> i'm a freshman here, ahh
[13:24] <zamba> jrib: what's your permissions on .gvfs?
[13:25] <gorgapor> audiopathik: you're not actually copying between partitions, you're copying the whole drive at the lowest level, including partition information

[13:25] <Pelias> micha__: you cannot. Don't even try.
[13:25] <tarun> is there anybody who can help me?
[13:25] <audiopathik> yea, that means if i dd it back it will be the same partition right?

[13:26] <tarun> but it is expected to have user:www-data
[13:26] <jrib> zamba: dr-x------ 2 jrib jrib     though I'm pretty sure that was owned by root at some point and I must have changed it myself
[13:26] <comutamike> JessicaParker : seems to be the P option -

[13:27] <tarun> i checked apache is running with www-data.
[13:27] <micha__> I do not understand. We have all our linux servers on a RAID and I also have an old motherboard with a onboard RAID card working
[13:27] <zamba> jrib: i tried changing it to u+w
[13:27] <n2diy> gorgapor: tnks
[13:27] <gorgapor> audiopathik: yes that's right
[13:27] <karamazov> hello, i'd been tryin to create a shared directory among windows users using samba but appearantly i couldn't do it. what's the proper way to create a directory shared among all users with write permissions to all?
[13:28] <tarun> actually i want to force new files and directories having the owner:group to user:www-data
[13:28] <rdw200169> deasy_, that, i don't know, i've only used it to setup VoIP phones
[13:28] <tarun> i think, that will solve my problem.
[13:28] <gorgapor> audiopathik: btw, you'll need a livecd
[13:28] <guido> Hi, canu help me plz? :) PC1 (Ubuntu8.10) connects via WLAN to Inet. PC1 & 2 are connected with cable. I want Inet at PC2 (WinXPPro).
[13:28] <fearlessdawg> tarun: I don't use apache or php. You need to find help on these not ubuntu
[13:28] <gorgapor> audiopathik: because you can't be using either drive while you do the copying
[13:28] <audiopathik> i have enough of those
[13:28] <tarun> fearlessdawg: i am stuck with this from last 10 days. lot's of googling and find nothing helpfule.
[13:28] <Schuenemann> hey, how can I check if my video card is correctly configured? It's the intel GMA X3100
[13:28] <karamazov> i did [shared] path=/blabla read only =no but it didn't work
[13:28] <fearlessdawg> i will see what i can find for you though tarun
[13:29] <tarun> ok. thanks for the info.
[13:29] <deasy_> rdw200169, and had no network issues with it?
[13:30] <wet> tarun, sry, i was looking for solution but i couldn't find any.
[13:30] <comutamike> JessicaParker: if you remove the -P option the Wget seems to work.  the -P option seems to make a reference to a prefix :the help option says -
[13:30] <comutamike> -P, --directory-prefix = PREFIX   save files to PREFIX/
[13:30] <audiopathik> gorgapor, so what i have to do now is: making a RAW backup of the entire partition, resizing that image to the new partitions size, and then RAW copy it back
[13:30] <rdw200169> deasy_, no, i think it has a lot to do w/the switch that provides the POE and the AMP draw of the devices
[13:30] <tarun> wet: thanks for that.
[13:30] <tarun> But it is really strange problem.
[13:31] <rdw200169> deasy_, for example, the cisco switches are very explicit about what the loads possible are, and how many POE devices you can have connected
[13:31] <wet> yeah, haven't encountered such problem
[13:31] <rdw200169> deasy_, but no, i've never had any problems
[13:31] <ohhai> Why isn't Songbird included in any Ubuntu repositories?
[13:31] <wet> i'll just keep looking for any tip for it
[13:31] <fearlessdawg> tarun: are you using a php script to change user:group and if so what command
[13:32] <deasy_> rdw200169, thanks :)
[13:32] <zamba> jrib: looks like i have to have a fuse-bridge for it
[13:32] <jrib> zamba: you didn't mount it as root or with sudo right?

[13:32] <rdw200169> deasy_, i think it has a lot more to do with the amp load, for your situation; is the device designed for POE that you're plugging in?
[13:33] <zamba> jrib: does 'mount' include the share when you mount it through gvfs?
[13:33] <Pelias> 2) How to save tty output to file (in busybox enviroment)?

[13:34] <tarun> fearlessdawg: there is not chance to use chown "php function"
[13:34] <tarun> because when new files is creating with "fopen(filenam, "w")"
[13:34] <comutamike> JessicaParker: Try this :
[13:34] <comutamike> wget --mirror -p --html-extension --convert-links -P theBBC http://www.bbc.co.uk
[13:34] <comutamike> downloads BBC into a folder called theBBC

[13:34] <zamba> jrib: i guess 'ps uaxw | grep gvfs-fuse-daemon' returns something at your place?
[13:34] <tarun> it is having wront owner ship

[13:40] <sandr> “!addon”
[13:41] <zamba> jrib: jupp.. confirmed now
[13:41] <Greyhound-> with 6GB of memory, do I still need to create a swap partition? will it be needed?
[13:41] <sandr> !addon
[13:41] <ghieh> hy
[13:41] <fearlessdawg> ameed: have you looked here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=652838
[13:42] <varanus> Greyhound: i have 4gb, i've created a swap but never used it :/
[13:42] <tobiwan> karamazov:  I do not think so. AFAIK, newly-created users belong to a group that is identical to the user name
[13:42] <ameed> I seen that
[13:42] <Greyhound-> how big, varanus ?
[13:42] <stefg> Greyhound-: not really... but be aware you will need a swap partition fpr hibernation
[13:42] <ameed> fearlessdawg: but am not sure if which driver i need or what kind of card i have
[13:43] <varanus> Greyhound: 2gb but i don't think u need a swap
[13:43] <Greyhound-> I'm never going to use hibernation anyway so there's no point in wastin 8gb on that
[13:43] <varanus> Greyhound: ;)
[13:43] <fearlessdawg> ammed: if you do lspci in a terminal if should be in the list
[13:43] <stefg> Greyhound-: and for compatibility reasons i'd still use some minor swap partition (like 256 or 512 MB)
[13:43] <Woden> What is the name of the new boot up script that Ubuntu uses?
[13:44] <Greyhound-> I'll give it 2gb :P
[13:44] <varanus> Greyhound: even 1gb i think it should be more than enough
[13:44]  * stefg agrees
[13:44] <Greyhound-> well I've left ~20GB for a linux partition so I have some to spare

[13:49] <fearlessdawg> ameed: did you do lspci in a terminal
[13:50] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: what video card is it?
[13:50] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip1,  intel gma x3100
[13:50] <zamba> hm, how can i prevent users touching networkmanager?
[13:50] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip1,  I think it's weird because my xorg.conf only has generic stuff

[13:52] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip1,  this is it: http://pastebin.com/m738ee957
[13:52] <ameed> stefg: thx , i got this Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express is that for the wireless?
[13:52] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: you are using vesa, you arent running the 3d video driver
[13:53] <fearlessdawg> ameed: can you do a pastebin of your lspci
[13:53] <stefg> russian_ulysses: is that one big file ? fat has a size limit
[13:53] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: if you run lspci | grep -i vga
[13:53] <ameed> fearlessdawg: how do i do that ?
[13:53] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: you will see your video driver and you can websearch how to set the card up
[13:53] <fearlessdawg> Woden: your trying to pick a new linux distro but need to know the boot up scripts to do that? i don't understand
[13:54] <Woden> fearlessdawg:  I wanted to know if Fedora uses Upstart
[13:54] <fearlessdawg> ameed: goto pastebin.com and paste the output in it and give me the link
[13:54] <timewasted> cd gcc*
[13:54] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip1,  ok... according to this benchmark, your card is just a little better than mine http://www.notebookcheck.info/Placas-de-video-moveis-Lista-de-Benchmark.3331.0.html

[13:55] <Woden> I'm trying to figure out if I should use Ubuntu or Fedora.
[13:55] <Chris____> Take ubuntu
[13:55] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: benchmarks dont mean much, depends how the benchmark works, compare aquamark scores between 2 systems, then compare 3dmark. they work the system different
[13:56] <fearlessdawg> Woden: try them both and see what your more comfortable with is the best option
[13:56] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: what video card does lspci say you have?
[13:56] <Chris____> Any1 plays on Wow private servers?!?!?
[13:56] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip1,  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
[13:56] <fearlessdawg> Woden: download virtualbox and the fedora iso and try it out
[13:57] <stefg> Woden: if you are (relatively) new to Linux do what most newbies do: use ubuntu ... (rpm based distros like fedora tend to break if you install/uninstall lots of packages when checking things out)
[13:57] <whyameye> what is the user for mysql?

[13:58] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: check the post by maor
[13:58] <korogiannos> How can I have middle click and left+right click interpreted as two seperate inputs?
[13:58] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: you need to use the "intel" driver which will be installed as part of the standard install
[13:58] <n2diy> I just installed a Drafting program called varkon, when I run it from the CLI, I get the following error message, "ls: cannot access *.PID: No such file or directory" The directory exsists, and I changed the permissions on it, so I can read and write to it, but still it gives me the error message, ideas?
[13:59] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip1,  which post? the one he posts his xorg.conf?
[13:59] <stefg> ameed: did your wireless work out of the box when you first installed ubuntu? If you had to tweak something you might need to do it again for the new kernel
[14:00] <Woden> stefg: Is that really true?
[14:00] <anokka> my install has been checking for packages to remove (95%) for about 15mins now...has it stalled?
[14:00] <stefg> Woden: what? My opinion on rpm based distros ?
[14:00] <micha__> anokka: check if it askes you for something on the console
[14:00] <Woden> stefg: Yea
[14:00] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: the one that shows the small section for video
[14:00] <fearlessdawg> lol
[14:00] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: you need to edit your xorg.conf a little
[14:01] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip1,  how do I know if I have that driver?
[14:01] <stefg> Woden: i deeply loathe rpm.... for reasons... apt and te .deb format are clealy superior IMHO
[14:01] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
[14:01] <anokka> micha__: ctrl-alt f8?
[14:02] <zamba> how can i change the default dhcp-client used?
[14:02] <micha__> anokka: no, what I meant was that depending on your package manager, it may have a a  button saying details
[14:02] <Woden> stefg: How is .deb/apt superior to rpm?
[14:02] <anokka> ah
[14:02] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip1,  ok, I already have it. I'll edit xorg.conf and come back
[14:02] <Schuenemann> brb
[14:02] <zamba> i just installed dhcpcd and if i try removing dhcp3-client it wants to take with it ubuntu-minimal
[14:02] <stefg> Woden: just works (TM) :-)
[14:03] <anokka> micha__: i booted into the live anvironment and installed from there, so no
[14:03] <korogiannos> how can I differentiate left+right click from middle click in hardy with 5button mouse?
[14:03] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: you're gonna be fighting that file till you score
[14:03] <steffen__> hello, my system cycles immediately back to sleep after resume, if last resume was "long" (i think about 30 minutes) time ago. Ideas?
[14:03] <Schuenemann> heheh
[14:03] <Schuenemann> brb
[14:03] <ameed> stefg:when i installed ubuntu first time i saw an alert about Enabling the Wireless drive and i did , and it was working fine but now after updating and rebooting its not even detected.
[14:03] <ActionParsnip1> korogiannos: run xev in a terminal, it'll show you the events for each click
[14:04] <korogiannos> ﻿ActionParsnip1: thankyou
[14:04] <micha__> then check /var/log/apt/term.log
[14:04] <fearlessdawg> ameed: was it a restricted driver ?
[14:04] <stefg> Woden: i refrain from diving into that topic, that'll be offtopic for #ubuntu, but a google search should give you the facts you need for decision
[14:05] <fearlessdawg> ameed: if it was go  to system > administration > hardware drivers does it say it's in use?
[14:05] <ameed> fearlessdawg: Yes
[14:05] <Morclye> Is there a way to close fullscreen program that has frozen without restarting X which closes Pidgin and XChat? I'm trying to configure Nexuiz in order to test my graphics card & drivers.
[14:05] <ameed> fearlessdawg: system > administration > hardware driver (emtpy)
[14:05] <ActionParsnip1> Morclye: you could ssh in with another pc and kil the process
[14:06] <n8tuser> Morclye -> try  sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
[14:06] <rdw200169> n8tuser, nooo!
[14:06] <rdw200169> n8tuser, that trashes the menus!
[14:06] <n8tuser> rdw200169 -> care to elaborate?
[14:06] <rdw200169> n8tuser, i did that once, it wreaks *havoc*!
[14:06] <Morclye> ActionParsnip1: I do not have another PC at my disposal but thank you
[14:06] <n8tuser> rdw200169 -> not on mine
[14:06] <n2diy> I just installed a Drafting program called varkon, when I run it from the CLI, I get the following error message, "ls: cannot access *.PID: No such file or directory" The directory exsists, and I changed the permissions on it, so I can read and write to it, but still it gives me the error message, ideas?
[14:07] <ActionParsnip1> Morclye: then all i can suggest is restart x
[14:07] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip1,  uh.. it changed to worse. I'm getting about 360 fps now
[14:07] <n8tuser> rdw200169 -> you were able to recover eh?
[14:07] <rdw200169> n8tuser, had to restart
[14:07] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: you need to set some more stuff
[14:07] <gumpert> hi im running 8.04.1 server version and administrate it via ssh and webmin, I recently had some network problems and couldnt connect to the server, what log files should I check, to find out whether those disconnects are server or network related?
[14:07] <n8tuser> rdw200169 -> right so, big deal if he tries it?
[14:07] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: or try the i810 driver
[14:08] <n8tuser> Morclye -> try  sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
[14:08] <korogiannos> ﻿ActionParsnip1: xev does know the difference between left+right click and middle click.  Who doesn't? X? Gnome? Wine or my game in wine?  Please point me in the right direction.
[14:08] <Morclye> n8tuser: I cannot access terminal when program crashes so I think I'll just restart X next time too
[14:08] <n8tuser> Morclye -> you have access to ctrl+alt+f1 ?
[14:08] <whyameye> I did a backup of my system and updated from hardy 64 bit to intrepid 32 bit. I didn't think about the mysql database. Any way I can get that database back? I didn't do a database dump before I reinstalled but I have all the files from my old hardy machine.

[14:09] <Morclye> n8tuser: Yes, I can do that. First time it crashed I used ctrl+alt+f1 to reboot
[14:10] <n8tuser> Morclye -> whoah? getting to a console crashed your system?
[14:10] <n8tuser> Morclye -> or you are confusing  ctrl+alt+delete ?
[14:10] <anokka> micha__: there's a few lines at the end like: grep: /proc/modules/: no such file or directory
[14:10] <Morclye> n8tuser: No, quitting Nexuiz game crashed it so that quit screen got stuck on screen
[14:10] <Wojtek> Wojtek
[14:10] <korogiannos> ﻿ActionParsnip1: Thanks. That should work fine for my purposes.  I'll google key mapping immediately. Thankyou for your help : )
[14:10] <stefg> whyameye: try restoring that backup to a virtual machine... chances are that it#ll run well enough to let ou dump the database
[14:11] <ActionParsnip1> korogiannos: np man
[14:11] <fearlessdawg> ameed: try entering this into a terminal to install them just incase you don't have them anymore sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules `uname -r
[14:11] <n8tuser> Morclye -> well i gave you an idea, if you want to argue, sorry i dont have time for that,
[14:11] <xee> any notes about the performance of the server kernel(which has PAE)?
[14:11] <whyameye> stefg: good idea.
[14:12] <ameed> fearlessdawg: Thanks , am trying i will let you know guys when its solved
[14:12] <Wojtek> hi
[14:12] <stefg> whyameye: i recommaned virtualbox
[14:12] <marco__>  I tried pidgin and now emesene and i still not able to send files. is there a solution?
[14:13] <whyameye> stefg: Ok. I'll try.
[14:13] <anokka> micha__: ok it just took a while but now it went on with the install :
[14:13] <orogor> hi here
[14:13] <shri420> when i try to type anything on the cmdline the first character is underlined i think something like a dictionary in a mobile is on
[14:13] <shri420> how do i disable it
[14:13] <orogor> anyone know<s what sthe default setting for the ubuntu memory split ?  becaus ei do have 4Gb of ram and i see a commitlimit of 2GB ?
[14:14] <stefg> whyameye: ah... wait... you need a 64bit guest on a 32bit host... not sure if virtualbox does this now (didn't in the past)
[14:14] <micha__> anokka: Can you past the last say 50 lines of this file
[14:15] <micha__> anokka: ah ok, it worked. great
[14:15] <ActionParsnip1> stefg: nope it wont work
[14:15] <anokka> micha__: :9
[14:15] <anokka> :)
[14:15] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip1,  it's even worse heh. Less than 300 fps now
[14:16] <stefg> ActionParsnip1: VBox 2.1 seems to have that waorking http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/12/22/virtualbox-2-1-supports-64-bit-guest-operating-systems-on-32-bit/  so make sure to use the PUEL version from SUN, not the version in the standard repos
[14:16] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: you need to websearch on what settings you need to use dude
[14:16] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip1,  alright...
[14:16] <ActionParsnip1> Schuenemann: but you are in the right area
[14:17] <Deep_Thought> whats the best way to run a rpm in ubuntu or convert it to a deb ?
[14:17] <Schuenemann> the bad thing about searching the web is that we find a lot of junk about dapper, edgy, etc
[14:17] <ActionParsnip1> Deep_Thought: its highly advised to NOT use rpm
[14:18] <stefg> Schuenemann: technically info about dapper isn't junk... it'll be supported until summer on teh desktop
[14:18] <ActionParsnip1> Deep_Thought: you can use alien but i'd STRONGLY recommend compiling from source
[14:18] <gareth_> hey guys - trying to manually  connect to wifi  with sudo dhclient  wlan0
[14:18] <ActionParsnip1> Deep_Thought: or find a deb for it
[14:18] <shri420> how do i disable dictionary on in vi and on the cmdline
[14:18] <Schuenemann> stefg,  hehe ok :p
[14:18] <Deep_Thought> ActionParsnip1, i'd rather compile it myself but i dont know how
[14:18] <gareth_> i get wmaster0:  unknown hardware address type 801 ??
[14:18] <ActionParsnip1> Deep_Thought: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[14:19] <kantlivelong> hey all.. anyone know why NetworkManager wont work w/ my Atheros AR5008? It shows up and when it tries to connect it fails.
[14:19] <ActionParsnip1> Deep_Thought: then read the readme in the source as to how to compile
[14:19] <ActionParsnip1> kantlivelong: does: sudo iwlist scan   show APs in range?
[14:20] <master_alvaro> hello
[14:20] <kantlivelong> ActionParsnip1: yes. I can manually connect via CLI
[14:20] <Deep_Thought> ActionParsnip1, Thanks, i'll get to work on that
[14:20] <ActionParsnip1> kantlivelong: then the device is drivered up
[14:20] <spicemint> has anyone zoneminder running on intrpid?
[14:20] <kantlivelong> ActionParsnip1: yep..
[14:20] <gareth_> i've tried to install wicd.deb package but there's a conflict with the network manager app - which i have already uninstalled
[14:20] <butudoka> what
[14:20] <ActionParsnip1> kantlivelong: try wifi-radar
[14:20] <kantlivelong> ActionParsnip1: lookin @ the logs it fails on step 2
[14:20] <butudoka> #blankon @ irc.freenode.net
[14:20] <butudoka> #blankon @ irc.freenode.net
[14:20] <kantlivelong> ActionParsnip1: theres no way to fix it?
[14:21] <master_alvaro> is there free video to flash converter for linux?
[14:21] <break19> anyone here have any experience with installing ubuntu on a system with a USB keyboard? I seem to be having a little trouble.. if I enable "USB Legacy" in the bios, the keyboard works until the point where ubuntu actually begins loading the installer, then the whole pc locks up..
[14:21] <arvernes> does someone, if running 8.04 we will have later a 2.6.26 and up kernel ? I ask that because there is a native support for uvc drivers in those kernels.
[14:21] <ActionParsnip1> kantlivelong: whats step 2?
[14:21] <kantlivelong> ActionParsnip1: dunno it just says step 2 i nthe logs
[14:22] <ActionParsnip1> !bootoptions | break19
[14:22] <break19> if I disable it, I can boot into the liveCD part, and begin the installer there.. and then it locks up during partitioning
[14:22] <master_alvaro> i mean: v2f -i video.avi -o flash.swf
[14:22] <ActionParsnip1> kantlivelong: have a look what that means
[14:22] <break19> ActionParsnip1: I already checked that :p
[14:22] <stefg> arvernes: kernel versions won't change in a given ubuntu release. hardy will always have a 2.6.24 kernel,
[14:23] <arvernes> stefg: ok, thank you
[14:23] <ActionParsnip1> break19: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as verify the burned cd on first boot screen?
[14:23] <break19> ActionParsnip1: truth be known, I could simply put my old keyboard in and do the install, then go back to using my G11 once everything is installed.. but I want the added difficulty of setting up using the USB.
[14:23] <stefg> arvernes: maybe the drivers get backported... and if you really need it you can still try to build your own (newer) kernel on hardy
[14:24] <break19> ActionParsnip1: yea.. like.. 3 months ago when I first did the install, with this cd.. but I was unsatisfied with certain things.. etc
[14:24] <marco__> why is that i can't send files on pidgin neither emesene ? msn protocol ...
[14:24] <break19> ActionParsnip1: 3 months ago, I didn't have this G11 either.. soo.. :p
[14:24] <EspenBe> perhaps a trivial question, but I don't know how to connect to another computer (ssh), run a program there (command line) and then disconnect from that machine while the program is still running in the background.  Does anyone of you know how?
[14:25] <stefg> !screen | EspenBe
[14:25] <gordonjcp> EspenBe: screen
[14:25] <ActionParsnip1> break19: try installing it in the live environment https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LogitechG15
[14:25] <ActionParsnip1> break19: then run the install
[14:26] <break19> EspenBe: err... screen is useful, but if you have no intentions of connecting back once you start it, simply start the program as a background task.. "&"
[14:26] <shri420> how do i turn off dictionary off in ubuntu
[14:26] <break19> EspenBe: such as "/path/to/my/app &" then log out
[14:26] <ActionParsnip1> EspenBe: you need to use screen
[14:26] <spicemint> has anyone zoneminder running on intrpid? i have no video from my cams
[14:26] <Golanster__> hello. i need help with wireless network. my router is with wep and i have disabled ipv6 still cant connect. any help ?
[14:27] <ActionParsnip1> break19: the app is still running by the user and will die on logout, & just puts it to the background
[14:27] <break19> ActionParsnip1: yea.. as I stated in the first one, it locked up during partitioning
[14:27] <EspenBe> break19, if I run the program in the background like "./some_script.sh &" and then log out, the process stops
[14:27] <ActionParsnip1> break19: yes, you may need to install the module to the live environment while the install runs
[14:27] <yusuo> hi can i change the default volume in ubuntu, whenever i restart it always starts muted
[14:28] <TonyMk> The system intruded, the chassis opened or tempred before. Please check the system  | Can some1 help me with this ?
[14:28] <break19> EspenBe: hmm.. then screen is your only option
[14:28] <djungelkraem> How do i fully remove my ATI-video-driver?
[14:28] <ActionParsnip1> EspenBe: look into screen. I believe that will sort you out
[14:28] <EspenBe> ActionParsnip1, I will give screen a try.  thanks :)

[14:30] <piknik> join ubuntu-pl
[14:30] <josaco> i cant get work many games
[14:30] <jrib> EspenBe: you can avoid using screen by using nohup or just disowning the job after you start it (COMMAND & disown), but screen is nice, especially if you want to reconnect later to it
[14:30] <djungelkraem> What packages do i have to remove to get rid of my ati-driver (fglrx)? Totally removed
[14:31] <lucypher> jlir: I'm still here... can't get this media keys works
[14:31] <ActionParsnip1> josaco: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=494943
[14:31] <EspenBe> jrgp, it is nice to be able to reconnect to the job, but I don't really need to do that
[14:31] <master_alvaro> josaco: have you 3D acceleration?
[14:31] <master_alvaro> josaco: glxinfo | grep -i direct
[14:31] <Schuenemann> josaco,  welcome :D

[14:31] <whyameye> how do I choose whether or not to copy hidden files from the command line? cp doesn't seem to have a flag for this
[14:31] <yusuo_> whenever i boot my ubuntu machine the sound is always muted by default how can i change this
[14:31] <break19> jrib: wait.. so.. "& disown" after a command will allow even "non daemon mode-friendly" cli utils to keep goin after ya log out?
[14:32] <Golanster__> hello. i need help with wireless network. my router is with wep and i have disabled ipv6 still cant connect. any help ?
[14:32] <kantlivelong> ok so i got the errror from NetworkManager.. appears its a global error " Error opening supplicant global control interface"
[14:32] <lucypher> jrib: I'm still here... can't get this media keys works ;-)

[14:32] <rdw200169> Golanster, lemme guess, ASCII Wep key?
[14:32] <yusuo_> so anyone have any ideas why my sound is muted by default and how i can change it
[14:33] <Golanster__> only numbers
[14:33] <ActionParsnip1> break19: i dont use it, i just heard some guys mention it
[14:33] <stefg> !keytouch | lucypher
[14:33] <rdw200169> Golanster, NetworkManager always sucks for WEP

[14:35] <MisterKM> Hey all, Is there a way to disable system-wide speaker-beeps?
[14:35] <yusuo_> Golanster, try madwifi, i installed it and my wireless is fine now
[14:35] <stefg> MisterKM: sudo rmmod pcspeaker ?
[14:36] <Morclye> MisterKM: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320921
[14:36] <j_clbrt> i wish my volume went louder in ubuntu\
[14:36] <Morclye> MisterKM: That worked perfectly for me
[14:36] <rdw200169> j_clbrt, have you checked *all* the volume settings?
[14:36] <j_clbrt> on windows it goes alot louder than mac and linux
[14:37] <j_clbrt> rdw200169, i think so
[14:37] <j_clbrt> i checked alsamixer
[14:37] <mrwes> j_clbrt: did you right click on the system tray icon speaker and open volume controls?
[14:37] <j_clbrt> yea
[14:37] <j_clbrt> they are maxed
[14:37] <rdw200169> j_clbrt, double click on the speaker icon in your panel, go to Edit -> preferences, and check *all* the boxes?
[14:37] <j_clbrt> i think it's jst the way this computer is
[14:38] <stefg> j_clbrt: usually the mixer has several instances which need to be adjusted. Onmy box  the Front L/R, the PCM and the master volume all affect the resulting volume

[14:39] <MisterKM> Morclye: I ran the first command in that, will that take effect immediately?
[14:39] <mikevankuik> How can I login via remote desktop even if didn't activate it? I can access my machine thru ssh so is there anything I can set so I can use VNC to connect to it?
[14:39] <harlemdavvey> guys is there any way to boost my browser speed?
[14:40] <N0_Named_Guy> Hi guys, one question: is it possible to redirect the output of an X window to the desktop? You see, I like Xaos a lot, and it would be great if I could redirect its output (animated) to my desktop
[14:40] <Morclye> MisterKM: Yes, modprobe -r pcspkr disabled PC speaker instantly but you need that blacklist thing described later in that topic to keep it silent, otherwise you need to run that command every time you reboot.
[14:40] <n8tuser> harlemdavvey -> use text based browser like w3m or elinks
[14:40] <stefg> mikevankuik: if you just need one particular app and have broadband you can simply ssh -X to that machine
[14:40] <harlemdavvey> is there any way to boost my internet browser speed? some day it is so fast than i can see a whole movie in streaming without having to pause the playing of the video.. and there are days my videos are so slow to charge... why???
[14:40] <n2diy> I just installed a Drafting program called varkon, when I run it from the CLI, I get the following error message, "ls: cannot access *.PID: No such file or directory" The directory exsists, and I changed the permissions on it, so I can read and write to it, but still it gives me the error message, ideas?
[14:40] <zash_> mikevankuik: try ssh -X otherhost vino-preferences
[14:41] <harlemdavvey> n8tuser: i'm referring to gui internet browsers.. i'm actually using opera
[14:41] <mrwes> harlemdavvey: are you running wireless behind a router?
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> n2diy You can have the filename right but the path wrong.  Was that prog from our repos?
[14:42] <Golanster__> this is wierd, i removed the wep and i still cant connect. this is frustrating
[14:42] <mikevankuik> stefg: cool :) tx :) but I would like to use my own VNC app :) X is so slow btw I would have to install an other VNC app on my mac too... :S
[14:42] <harlemdavvey> mrwes: i'm on ethernet connection
[14:42] <n2diy> Jack_Sparrow: yes, via synaptic.
[14:42] <rdw200169> Golanster, yeah, this may be a wireless driver thing, reluctantly
[14:42] <harlemdavvey> mrwes: ethernet on a router..
[14:43] <rdw200169> Golanster, you may have to go with that madwifi suggestion earlier

[14:43] <Jack_Sparrow> n2diy Let me install it real quick and see if I can figurte it out
[14:44] <n2diy> Jack_Sparrow: roger that, in the mean time I'll reinstall.

[14:44] <stefg> mikevankuik: on the long run i'd check x11vnc .. less bloated than vino, more flexible and only uses half of the cpu time (compared to vino)
[14:44] <aboSamoor> trying to add the repository here http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2-beta-2 I can not find a way to authenticate this repository , Please any help ?
[14:44] <n8tuser> stefg -> i second that
[14:44] <bcgrown> good morning all
[14:45] <harlemdavvey> maybe there is a method to configure my browser to enhance its speed.. i don't know.. i remember i did something like that on firefox when i used to be a windows xp user..
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> aboSamoor THe site  where you got the link for that repo is where you need to get that info
[14:45] <adaptr> harlemdavvey: what kind of speed are we talking about ?
[14:45] <Leefmc> Question: What is the command to keep a process running after you run it from the terminal? Allowing you to close the terminal, without killing the app?
[14:45] <mikevankuik> stefg: cool I'll do that next but first I'll have to make a connection via VNC at first... because now I can only access the machine thru ssh
[14:46] <Golanster__> rdw200169, ill try it thanks
[14:46] <oCean_> mikevankuik: install vnc4server
[14:46] <stefg> mikevankuik: sudo apt-get install x11vnc ... then run it :-)
[14:46] <harlemdavvey> adaptr: i'm talking about internet browsers speed...
[14:46] <mikevankuik> stefg: and I would like to be able to give it some commands in X too (I'm no ssh guru although I'm getting better)
[14:46] <adaptr> harlemdavvey: yes, the speed of *what* ?
[14:46] <adaptr> updates ? screen refresh ? page draw ?
[14:46] <mikevankuik> stefg: done
[14:47] <harlemdavvey> adaptr: oh ok.. the speed of connection and the speed in charging videos, and playing them back..
[14:47] <bcgrown> I am trying to get Multisync set up to sync with my phone over bluetooth.  I have the bluetooth connection working, now Multisync is asking me for the bluetooth channel number.  I did 'sdptool browse (phone's MAC address)',   but that command just says "Browsing (MAC addresss)"  and then nothing else...     Am I doing something wrong?
[14:47] <mikevankuik> stefg: but it will still not let me connect
[14:47] <adaptr> harlemdavvey: a browser will normally use all the network bandwidth available to it
[14:47] <harlemdavvey> adaptr: even the speed of refreshing pages
[14:47] <oCean_> mikevankuik: you have to start the server (on a certain display of your choice)
[14:48] <adaptr> harlemdavvey: install gnome applet "network monitor - netspeed" and do some testing to see what speeds you actually get
[14:48] <stefg> mikevankuik: and make sure that vino is not in the way (hogging port 5900)
[14:48] <yusuo> how would i go about changing the default volume when debian logs in for some reason its always muted

[14:49] <rjune> sky_1: CSS is irrelevant to Ubuntu. it's dependant on your web browser
[14:50] <ezerhoden> yusuo: in the past alsactl store has worked. this was not using ubuntu, but should work
[14:50] <mikevankuik> stefg: I'm evol :D and I hate typing sudo (A)
[14:50] <adaptr> harlemdavvey: the gnome applets are installed by default
[14:50] <rdw200169> rjune, i think he's referring to a game
[14:50] <oCean_> mikevankuik: you have to specify a display (x11vnc :1 for example)
[14:50] <mikevankuik> stefg: ok face it I'm laisy :P but the thing is a internal server :) so I'm not that worried :)
[14:50] <rjune> rdw200169: Ah, that's a horrible name for a game
[14:51] <stefg> mikevankuik: i think that's a built in security feature. it won't let connect root to an xsession
[14:51] <harlemdavvey> adaptr: i hadn't this applet installed on my system
[14:51] <denise_> bonjour
[14:51] <adaptr> harlemdavvey: so where are you down,oading it form ?is it in an extra applets package ?

[14:52] <sky_1> yusuo: i tought Counter Strike Source :D
[14:52] <triton> alguien de españa?
[14:52] <adaptr> harlemdavvey: that's funny
[14:52] <mikevankuik> rjune: I actually would like that... although its not the savest thing in the world :D
[14:52] <yusuo> sky_1 http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3731
[14:52] <harlemdavvey> adaptr: were you jocking about it? xD

[14:53] <triton> hello
[14:53] <rjune> mikevankuik: it's not, and what's more. I'm baffled at how you got remote XDMCP, but didn't find the checkbox for remote root
[14:53] <stefg> !lvm | DawnLight
[14:53] <yusuo> sky_1 you have to install wine and then install counter strike as normal
[14:53] <triton> tenia un chat en español, pero de la noche a la mañana no me deja entrar
[14:53] <ActionParsnip1> yusuo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=706160
[14:53] <rjune> mikevankuik: in gdmsetup there's a checkbox, allow remote root
[14:54] <oCean_> mikevankuik: well, the error is the output
[14:54] <rjune> triton: no hablo espagnol.
[14:54] <stefg> mikevankuik: kill the other instance first...
[14:54] <mikevankuik> rjune:  I can't see the X envirement :)

[14:54] <adaptr> harlemdavvey: I was not, but it's a gnome applet - it is unlikely to need its own package
[14:54] <sky_1> thanks
[14:54] <triton> alguien save porque cuando inicio ubuntu me sale la pantalla negra y tengo que registrarme en modo consola?
[14:54] <oskar-> gentoo
[14:54] <rjune> mikevankuik: is the local system running X?
[14:54] <cooler13> anyone care to help me install matlab 7 ?
[14:54] <oCean_> mikevankuik: x11vnc has different options syntax as vnc4server. Error says "no -display" detected. So you'll probably have to start x11vnc -display 1
[14:54] <harlemdavvey> adaptr: yes but it installed anyway xD ok.. i'm checking my speed..
[14:54] <oskar-> lol, sorry. hi!
[14:55] <frg22> help, I get this testing sound: 'Failed to connect: Connection refused'
[14:55] <rjune> You can ssh to the remote system, then do gksudo gdm-setup which will let you configure gdm
[14:55] <adaptr> harlemdavvey: however, in this case I must have installed that sometime when I wasnt' looking....
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> n2diy You need to file a bug on that one
[14:55] <Jack_Sparrow> !bug
[14:55] <harlemdavvey> adaptr: i see
[14:55] <mikevankuik> rjune: yes but I can't get to it right now that's why I'm trying to get it to allow me to use VNC to see stuff... and I would like to set that option to on via ssh
[14:55] <yusuo> ActionParsnip1 didnt work already had the 2 programs installed
[14:56] <harlemdavvey> adaptr: so what am i going to do, if i see that my connection speed is sometime high and sometime low?
[14:56] <rjune> Ahh, you want to do VNC to X
[14:56] <adaptr> harlemdavvey: I don't know if it will give you a history, but you can use the normal system monitor for that - otherwise install something like iptraf
[14:56] <rdw200169> triton | !es
[14:56] <ActionParsnip1> yusuo: did you edit the files as advised
[14:56] <triton> dime
[14:56] <rdw200169> triton, join #ubuntu-es
[14:56] <adaptr> harlemdavvey: a browser uses different connections to one web site if it determines that that would be faster than retrieving all content sequentially
[14:56] <mikevankuik> rjune: yeah
[14:56] <rjune> triton: #ubuntu-es para espagnol
[14:56] <triton> si,pero no encuentro nada
[14:57] <rjune> mikevankuik: do you have VNC terminal services already setup?
[14:57] <triton> a vosotros os ha pasadp?
[14:57] <harlemdavvey> adaptr: so, ok.. and what about if i install this iptraf, what can i determine with it?
[14:57] <triton> bueno,ya provare
[14:57] <adaptr> harlemdavvey: it shows you the traffic per port, so you can distinguish HTTP from other applications
[14:57] <adaptr> and even to different web servers
[14:57] <yusuo> ActionParsnip1 theres nothing to ammend in those files there just blank docs
[14:57] <hero> hello
[14:58] <JoeLow> hey, i turned my laptop on this morning, and i no longer have my eth1 interface (the one i used for wireless), how can i get this back or create it?
[14:58] <hero> hyee all
[14:58] <harlemdavvey> adaptr: you mean that http is the traffic that goes on my internet browser, right?
[14:58] <hero> owh how is it
[14:58] <hero> that driver
[14:58] <Jack_Sparrow> !ask
[14:59] <harlemdavvey> adaptr: oh, a question.. how can i see what's my ip address?
[14:59] <mikevankuik> rjune I'm not sure I've got the VNC server installed for sure because I connected to it earlier but then I had to shut it down and place it somewhere from where I would try to connect to it thru VNC again... but I forgot to make sure the user mike loged in automaticlly so I could login via VNC as the user mike
[14:59] <adaptr> harlemdavvey: it is the traffic that is most commonly retrieved by a browser, yes
[14:59] <hero> is that me ubottu?
[14:59] <Jack_Sparrow> hero yes
[14:59] <triton> i have a problem when i iniciating ubuntu
[14:59] <ActionParsnip1> yusuo: hmm strange
[14:59] <baber> hi
[14:59] <hero> owh this is my first time here
[14:59] <hero> where can i find a room to chat
[14:59] <triton> dont can iniciatin gnome
[14:59] <ActionParsnip1> yusuo: you could make a script to unmute the sound and set the volume level and add it to gnome startup
[14:59] <baber> how can encrypt a folder with gpg command?
[15:00] <adaptr> or just use alsamixer
[15:00] <yusuo> i wouldnt have a clue how to do that ActionParsnip1
[15:00] <Jack_Sparrow> hero Welcome, we ask that you limit your use of enter .. Please ask any Support related questions here
[15:00] <ActionParsnip1> hero: here is ubuntu support, theres #ubuntu-offtopic for everything else
[15:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !irc
[15:00] <ActionParsnip1> yusuo: do you use alsa or pulse?
[15:00] <JoeLow> anyone know why my wireless interface (eth1) would have dissapeard this morning?
[15:00] <hero> thanks
[15:00] <yusuo> alsa
[15:01] <triton> when i have to login i make in mode console
[15:01] <hero> #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:01] <yusuo> ok ActionParsnip its apparently pulse
[15:01] <rjune> mikevankuik: that doesn't sound like you have vnc-terminal services setup. do you have XDMCP setup?
[15:01] <Jack_Sparrow> hero /join #channel
[15:01] <rdw200169> hero, you gotta put a /join in there
[15:01] <ActionParsnip1> yusuo: http://www.digipedia.pl/man/amixer.1.html
[15:01] <hero> yep thanks i got it
[15:01] <ActionParsnip1> yusuo: its not massively graceful but should sort you out
[15:01] <triton> somebody talk spanish?
[15:02] <Jack_Sparrow> !es
[15:02] <lstarnes> triton: try #ubuntu-es
[15:02] <rdw200169> yeah, but he mentioned earlier that no one is in there ;)
[15:02] <mikevankuik> rjune: not sure the ubuntu install I did was pretty clean... I've just started to install lighttpd php mysql trying to create a test server :)
[15:02] <russian_ulysses> Hi. When I try to write data to 16 gigs VFAT flash, only 8 gigs are written and then I got 'No space left on device'. There's no files which >2gb.
[15:02] <triton> ok
[15:02] <Schuenemann> ugh... tab complete in xchat sucks
[15:02] <n8tuser> russian_ulysses -> you sure vfat can even handle that large volume?
[15:03] <rdw200169> Jack_Sparrow, of *course* ubottu works when you do it!
[15:03] <ActionParsnip1> russian_ulysses: try df -h
[15:03] <harlemdavvey> what about some command for cleaning up the system from unneeded files?
[15:03] <rjune> mikevankuik: I don't remember how to enable xdmcp via the command line, I remember how to do it via gdm-setup, but that's it
[15:03] <harlemdavvey> does it exist, a command to cleanup the system a bit?
[15:03] <Jack_Sparrow> rdw200169 Has he been mis-behaving today
[15:03] <rohdef> can I somehow disable microphone playback, so I can't hear my own voice, but a capture program is still able to record?
[15:03] <adaptr> harlemdavvey: atp-get autoremove, apt-get clean
[15:04] <mikevankuik> rjune: as long as I get to see something in my vnc screen I'd  be happy as can be :)
[15:04] <stefg> russian_ulysses: i heard of some fake usb-thumbdrives that were manipulated to shw more capacity that they actually have. ... got it from ebay ?
[15:04]  * rdw200169 shames ubottu with a wagging finger
[15:04] <baber> how can encrypt folder with gpg?
[15:04] <PodeCoet> My SD card keeps mounting as read only. If I use WinXP under virtualbox I can write to it fine
[15:04] <russian_ulysses> stefg no, in /var/log/messages there's sd 4:0:0:0: [sdc] 31588352 512-byte hardware sectors (16173 MB)
[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Schuenemann Easy to fix.. set to last sdpoken NOT a-z  which is the default
[15:05] <harlemdavvey> does the system of linux have a cachE?
[15:05] <n8tuser> mikevankuik -> ummm you tried to ssh with like    ssh -C -Y -l username 192.x.x.x   to get an X display from remote?
[15:05] <n2diy> Jack_Sparrow: roger that, and the bug is the pid file wasn't created during the install?
[15:05] <mikevankuik> n8tuser: nope I woudn't even know what that would do besides creating a ssh connection :P
[15:05] <mikevankuik> n8tuser: let me try that :)
[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> n2diy no files are in the pid folder
[15:06] <n2diy> Jack_Sparrow: roger that,
[15:06] <rjune> mikevankuik: if you had local X, I could help you. if you had local access to the server I could help you.
[15:06] <Schuenemann> Jack_Sparrow,  I like konversation's style here... it shows a drop-down and allows you to choose.
[15:06] <yusuo_> ActionParsnip1 that webpage froze my pc
[15:06] <n8tuser> mikevankuik -> but you must not be a root user locally, try it as a regular user
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> n2diy wish I could do more
[15:06] <n2diy> Jack_Sparrow: roger that, me too. :)
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Schuenemann Glad you found something you like
[15:06] <mikevankuik> rjune: I would if I had the time to rebuild the room I dumped it in... but now its burried in stuff :P so that's why I need to connect to it thru ssh and do stuff to it :D
[15:06] <ActionParsnip1> yusuo_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109416/
[15:06] <n8tuser> mikevankuik -> it requires a regular user because root normally dont have access to xhost display locally
[15:07] <Schuenemann> Jack_Sparrow,  heh. If I were using KDE, that would be true
[15:07] <yusuo_> wierd though cause when i rebooted the sound worked fine again
[15:07] <nitro4ce> how do i mount an ntfs partition using the livecd
[15:07] <nitro4ce> ?
[15:07] <adaptr> Schuenemann: you don't need KDE to use Konversation - I use it
[15:07] <oCean_> mikevankuik: you got the vncserver to run?
[15:07] <vallhalla81> is there a way to change icon size?
[15:07] <harlemdavvey> is it possible to find a way to download .flv videos from youtube and automatically have them converted in mp3 format??
[15:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Schuenemann Did you have a question for the channel or were you just wanting to express your opinion about xchat
[15:07] <mrwes> vallhalla81: on the desktop?
[15:08] <adaptr> vallhalla81: change it where ?
[15:08] <Deany> harlemdavvey, downloadhelper plugin for firefox
[15:08] <n8tuser> harlemdavvey -> write a script?
[15:08] <russian_ulysses> ActionParsnip1 df -h gives '/dev/sdc1              16G  7,8G  7,3G  52% /media/disk'
[15:08] <vallhalla81> mrwes: on desk top and in menu
[15:08] <yusuo_> another problem is my pc keeps hanging for no reason, audio still plays and the mouse moves but everything else just freezes any ideas
[15:08] <mrwes> vallhalla81: for the desktop, right mouse button, then stretch icon
[15:08] <harlemdavvey> n8tuser: how?
[15:08] <harlemdavvey> deany: i use opera
[15:08] <adaptr> n8tuser: he's totally clueless
[15:08] <harlemdavvey> deany: or i have epiphany browser
[15:08] <n8tuser> harlemdavvey -> never mind then.. lol
[15:08] <Jack_Sparrow> harlemdavvey there is a script for downloading from youtube, would be easy to modify
[15:09] <Deany> harlemdavvey,    oh wellz..:)
[15:09] <russian_ulysses> Deany fs is VFAT and df -h gives '/dev/sdc1              16G  7,8G  7,3G  52% /media/disk'
[15:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !youtube
[15:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !find youtube
[15:09] <dsnaike> russian_ulysses check the drives trash folder could be hidden and full
[15:09] <ActionParsnip1> russian_ulysses: then theres lotsa free space
[15:09] <mrwes> Jack_Sparrow: couldn't he use the download video helper add on for FireFox?
[15:09] <vallhalla81> mrwes: thank you
[15:09] <mrwes> np
[15:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !info youtube-dl
[15:10] <Deany> mrwes, he could but he uses opera
[15:10] <Jack_Sparrow> mrwes Not sure how easy that would be to edit and rewritr to do that conversion
[15:10] <micha__> Hi, does kubuntu load dmraid by default when installing?
[15:10] <micha__> sry, ubuntu
[15:10] <russian_ulysses> ActionParsnip1 yes, it seems but I can't write 700mb file to it - write() fails with ENOSPC

[15:17] <Xintruder> 8.10*
[15:17] <adi1> any idea?

[15:18] <ActionParsnip1> bernier: 2.6.28 is a jaunty kernel
[15:18] <Schuenemann> kitche,  alright
[15:19] <gordonjcp> is there a specific channel for discussing Ubuntu-specific development issues?
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !jaunty
[15:19] <adi1> for un usb wireless maybe draft g
[15:19] <bcgrown>  I am trying to get Multisync set up to sync with my phone over bluetooth.  I have the bluetooth connection working, now Multisync is asking me for the bluetooth channel number.  I did 'sdptool browse (phone's MAC address)',   but that command just says "Browsing (MAC addresss)"  and then nothing else...     Am I doing something wrong?
[15:19] <wildfire95> hey people.
[15:19] <gordonjcp> if I have an Ubuntu-specific development question, should I just ask in here?
[15:20] <Schuenemann> gordonjcp,  #ubuntu+1
[15:20] <stefg> !irc
[15:20] <gordonjcp> Schuenemann: why?
[15:20] <wildfire95> urgh, anyone got a good guide for Ubuntu n00bs on compiling source code? ^.^
[15:20] <Schuenemann> gordonjcp,  it's the development channel
[15:20] <gordonjcp> Schuenemann: I am using Intrepid, and I'm asking about developing things in intrepid
[15:20] <EagleScreen> gordonjcp #ubuntu-devel
[15:20] <wildfire95> xD
[15:20] <kpuljek> how can I prevent my system from flooding the syslog with "WARNING: not loading blacklisted module ipv6"?
[15:20] <gordonjcp> EagleScreen: thank you
[15:21] <adaptr> kpuljek: remove any reference to ipv6 from your networking config
[15:21] <kitche> gordonjcp: #ubuntu-devel is not Ubuntu specific really
[15:21] <gordonjcp> kitche: hmm
[15:21] <step21> wildfire95: ./configure && make && make install ....
[15:21] <kpuljek> adaptr: where exactly? in aliases file or?
[15:21] <adaptr> kpuljek: /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/resolv.conf, and possibly others
[15:21] <wildfire95> thanks step21.
[15:21] <kitche> gordonjcp: it's anything dealing with Ubuntu developmentnot just Ubuntu-specific channel though
[15:22] <step21> wildfire95: if that doesn't work ... good luck :)
[15:22] <gordonjcp> kitche: basically I want my build scripts to detect if a program is being built for Ubuntu, and apply a slew of fixes
[15:23] <gordonjcp> kitche: and also possibly pop up a big warning
[15:23] <stefg> !version | gordonjcp
[15:23] <kpuljek> adaptr: if you can recommend any others, because these are clean
[15:23] <stefg> gordonjcp: IMHO thta's the thing to query
[15:23] <mikevankuik> oCean_: I've found the solution ^_^ the comment of srf21c fixed my problem :) even though its a workaround its good enough for me at the moment :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=266981
[15:23] <PengytheDuckwin> how do I set my computer to stay at a certain volume level even after restarting the computer?
[15:23] <kitche> gordonjcp: hmm sounds like you want to build a whole different build system then what Ubuntu has
[15:24] <arvind_khadri> wildfire95, what are you compiling?
[15:24] <gordonjcp> stefg: that might do it
[15:24] <mikevankuik> oCean_: I can access my system now and see stuff now :) exactly as I wanted :)
[15:25] <wildfire95> arvind: nothing, but i needed to know for later.
[15:25] <step21> anyone here know how to debug grub2? #grub isn't all that quick to respond/helpful

[15:30] <step21> (the 2 pcs)
[15:31] <oskar-> iamarockstar:  setup the ics on vista and just plug the ubuntu machine onto the network with dhcp activated
[15:31] <waylandbill> iamarockstar, crossover cable or hub?
[15:31] <iamarockstar> waylandbill: crossover cable
[15:31] <step21> ah ok
[15:31] <iamarockstar> direct cable conneciton betwwen the two
[15:31] <step21> yeah then you ics on vista should take care of it ...
[15:31] <oCean_> gfather: well, it's not the complete command. the -R switch is recursive for directory and all subdirectories, including all folders. The chmod command needs more arguments obvisously (like chmod -R 755 /dirname or whatever you need)
[15:32] <step21> and enable dhcp and everything on automatic on ubuntu
[15:32] <oCean_> gfather: *including all files
[15:32] <waylandbill> iamarockstar, you need to set up ics and use static addressing instead of self-assigned address
[15:32] <russian_ulysses> How to format flash into NTFS in Ubuntu?
[15:32] <gfather> thanks :)
[15:32] <iamarockstar> waylandbill: pls elaborate what i have to do in ubuntu
[15:32] <step21> waylandbill:  can't ics be a dhcp server?
[15:32] <iamarockstar> and in vista what is ics?how to do?
[15:33] <step21> internet connection sharing
[15:33] <waylandbill> google for 'internet connection sharing'
[15:33] <joeyjones> what's a good tabbed text editor with syntax hilighting for ubuntu?
[15:33] <ActionParsnip1> russian_ulysses: you can use ntfstools
[15:33] <ActionParsnip1> !info ntfstools
[15:33] <ActionParsnip1> !info ntfs-tools
[15:33] <mrwes> joeyjones: gedit ?
 it keep showing chmod: changing permissions of `/home/mjfahmi/Desktop/sounds/test.mid': Read-only file system
[15:34] <ActionParsnip1> !info ntfsprogs | russian_ulysses
[15:34] <iamarockstar> ok so for vista i google ics
[15:34] <iamarockstar> and on ubuntu how do i set it up
[15:34] <iamarockstar> ?
[15:34] <waylandbill> step21, could work. ics dhcp server isn't a bind server but is enough to get up and running.
[15:34] <ActionParsnip1> iamarockstar: if vista is sharing the connection i'd ask in ##windows
[15:35] <oCean_> gfather: is it?
[15:35] <iamarockstar> well atleast tell me what i have to set in ubuntu connections?
[15:35] <iamarockstar> dhcp?local-link?
[15:35] <step21> dhcp
[15:35] <Eritrean> Hi
[15:35] <steffen_> Hi, anyone have experience with ettercap?
[15:35] <oCean_> gfather: I mean, is the 'sounds' folder (maybe) a read-only mounted filesystem?
[15:35] <step21> try that, i hope it works with vista
 that could be :S
[15:36] <ActionParsnip1> iamarockstar: if the windows system is configured it will kick out dhcp. if not you can set the ubuntu systems on static ip to accommodate the new setup
[15:36] <mrwes> joeyjones: gedit has an highlight mode depending on what code you're writing
[15:36] <oCean_> gfather: command "mount" will show you
[15:36] <iamarockstar> ActionParsnip1: what do u mean by windows sys is configured?pls help me
 the thing is im trying to copy some stuff to sd card in my mobile
[15:37] <ActionParsnip1> iamarockstar: if the windows system ics also includes a dhcp server then the linux systems will get dhcp automatically
[15:37] <iamarockstar> step21: so if set in ubuntu dhcp with everything automatic then what am i to do in vista to correspond this?
[15:37] <ActionParsnip1> iamarockstar: if not you will have to setup static ip
 but i think the page im reading from expect that i have the sd mounted in my ubuntu
[15:38] <iamarockstar> ActionParsnip1: so does vista businness edition have ics with dhcp?
[15:38] <oskar-> ActionParsnip1:  ics in windows includes dhcp service since win98se afaik
[15:38] <waylandbill> anyway... ics is a topic for ##windows
[15:38] <iamarockstar> oskar-: thx
[15:38] <step21> iamarockstar: if there are any things like enable dhcp or automatic ip enable them
[15:38] <iamarockstar> ok
[15:38] <waylandbill> but set ics up and ubuntu will work automagically.
[15:39]  * kitche thinks Windows support should go to ##windows
[15:39] <iamarockstar> and one more thing well after both of them are able to  see each other
[15:39] <iamarockstar> then will the net connection come in ubutnu automatically ie if i open firefox and google then will it work?
[15:39] <step21> it shoud
[15:39] <waylandbill> iamarockstar, sharing files? research samba.
[15:40] <iamarockstar> waylandbill: no i want to share NET COnnection
[15:40] <rdw200169> iamarockstar, from linux to windows?
[15:40] <gfather> <oCean_ i did cp -R /home/Desktop/image/* /home/Desktop/image2/ and now i can copy the files from image 2 :)
[15:40] <ActionParsnip1> iamarockstar: i dunno
[15:40] <karamazov> hello i have an ubuntu server, i need a script for restarting sshd if it's stopped because i will have only remote access to the server. is there any scripts that you offer me? or will you please tel me how to write one since i don't know how
[15:40] <iamarockstar> rdw200169: no frm vista to ubuntu
[15:40] <waylandbill> iamarockstar, yes. tcp/ip networking is done by ics.
[15:41] <rdw200169> iamarockstar, that's windows help then; look up 'vista internet connection sharing'
[15:41] <ActionParsnip1> iamarockstar: just make sure the shared connection has a different network address as between the vista system and your adsl connection thingy
[15:41] <oCean_> gfather: seems nice workaround :)
[15:41] <Eritrean> To everybody here asking different questions: if you want a live video conferencing chat support(video streaming and chat), there is a Canadian site -- every Tuesday Eastern time  from 7pm to 8 pm, you can ask questions and Robbie answers them-- very cool guy --you can also watch the past recorded videos --- this is the site: http://www.category5.tv/
[15:41] <rdw200169> iamarockstar, don't bother w/bridging
[15:41] <ActionParsnip1> iamarockstar: you need to setup 2 networks essentially
[15:41] <gfather> <oCean_ yes :)
[15:41] <iamarockstar> rdw200169: bridging?what is that?
[15:41] <sproaty> Flash *always* crashes my firefox after around watching 6 videos. Is this just how it is
[15:41] <rdw200169> iamarockstar, there should be a page somewhere on windows.com that covers 'internet connection sharing' explicitly, to include setting up dhcp
[15:41] <linduxed> ive downloaded a dark gtk2 theme (divinorum). everything is nice except for one thing. when i use pidgin the irc-protocol has all text coloured white/gray while msn colours outgoing messages white and incoming black, making incoming very hard to read on the dark background. any way to choose the incoming message colour?
[15:42] <rdw200169> iamarockstar, making your vista box look like a swith
[15:42] <sproaty> My only fix is to restart firefox
[15:42] <iamarockstar> ActionParsnip1: u mean one nw on vista and one on ubuntu?
[15:42] <ActionParsnip1> iamarockstar: if you connect to a router giving the usual 192.168.0.x ip then setup the other network to use 192.168.2.x
[15:42] <rdw200169> iamarockstar, *switch, don't worry, just look up 'internet connection sharing'
[15:42] <kitche> linduxed: in pidgin font colors of course very easy if you checked
[15:42] <iamarockstar> ok thx all ppl
[15:42] <ActionParsnip1> iamarockstar: the vista one, you have 2 networks, the one between the connection and the vista box, then one between vista and the linux boxes
[15:42] <MakeSense> Hi. is there a nice stable panel (gnome) that can pop up and show all mounted drives, with icons ?
[15:42] <rdw200169> iamarockstar, i can help you w/linux->windows, just not the other way around, i don't use it ;)
[15:42] <adam1> question: is there a painless way of improving the fonts in openoffice while using subpixel slight rendering in ubuntu?
[15:43] <ActionParsnip1> iamarockstar: if you dont have the networks seperated, it won't work
[15:43] <iamarockstar> will do some research and check
[15:43] <waylandbill> iamarockstar, what bridging is.. thats a little more advanced of a topic than irc. google that for more info.
[15:43] <iamarockstar> thx
[15:43] <rdw200169> adam1, that is a matter of what font you're using
[15:43] <ActionParsnip1> iamarockstar: the ics factoid may help
[15:43] <iamarockstar> waylandbill: k
[15:43] <ActionParsnip1> !ics
[15:43] <dublisk> Hello, I intalled ubuntu on my g5, but when it goes to load up, I just get a black blank screen. Any idea what I can try ?
[15:43] <adam1> rdw200169: arial, times new roman and verdana
[15:43] <d0netsFN> hey could someone help me, im having trouble with usb media
[15:43] <linduxed> kitche: doesnt work apparently
[15:43] <d0netsFN> here is dmesg for a 1 gb micro sd card in a card reader
[15:43] <d0netsFN> http://pastebin.com/m5bbd8bd0
[15:43] <rdw200169> adam1, the way it *looks* on your screen, and the way the fonts render when printed are 2 different things, and depend on the quality of the font, not the rendering on your screen
[15:44] <d0netsFN> actually thats mount
[15:44] <d0netsFN> http://pastebin.com/m254545ee
[15:44] <d0netsFN> there is dmesg
[15:44] <d0netsFN> it looks fine
[15:44] <d0netsFN> but it doesnt show up in places or /media/
[15:44] <oskar-> dublisk:  remove the splash and quiet keyword from the kernel parameters in the boot loader
[15:44] <d0netsFN> im using mythbuntu 8.10
[15:44] <rdw200169> adam1, so, it doesn't matter, you could be seeing 8bit color with no subpixel rendering, and it will still *print* the same
[15:44] <oCean_> d0netsFN: pls don't use the <enter> key so often..
[15:44] <d0netsFN> ok sorry
[15:45] <kitche> d0netsFN: ask the mythbuntu channel
[15:45] <d0netsFN> i did kitche
[15:45] <rdw200169> adam1, does that make sense?
[15:45] <d0netsFN> that chan is useless
[15:45] <ActionParsnip1> d0netsFN: then mount sdd1
[15:45] <dublisk> oskar-: so I would use the 'expert' install option and the set that somewhere?
[15:45] <d0netsFN> i have been trying to fix this for over a ewek
[15:45] <karamazov> hello how do i configure cups-pdf package from the command line?
[15:45] <adam1> rdw200169: that's reassuring. but it would be nice to have fonts which are nice to read on screen while editing
[15:45] <oCean_> d0netsFN: you say "it mounts" However, it (/dev/sdd) does *not* show up in your mount output
[15:45] <karamazov> i want to set up a virtual pdf printer to my ubuntu server how will i do it?
[15:45] <ActionParsnip1> d0netsFN: sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /mount/point
[15:45] <ActionParsnip1> !pdf
[15:46] <ActionParsnip1> !cups-pdf
[15:46] <ActionParsnip1> !info cups-pdf
[15:46] <rdw200169> adam1, i personally don't use OpenOffice, i use LaTeX and reStructured text... so i always see the *same* font in vim, which i write in
[15:46] <oskar-> dublisk:  i don't know how to do it in vista. my last windows was xp, installed 8 years ago ;)
[15:46] <d0netsFN> well ocean_ its just not normal
[15:46] <d0netsFN> usually all usb devices show up in places and in /media/ when plugged in
[15:46] <dublisk> oskar- what does vista have to do with it?
[15:46] <oskar-> dublisk:  sorry, pasted wrong ;)
[15:46] <ActionParsnip1> karamazov: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-pdf-documents-in-ubuntu.html
[15:47] <gfather> guys anyone knows how to copy a file to sftp ?
[15:47] <adam1> rdw200169: personally i won't be using openoffice either if i can't improve these fonts :)
[15:47] <rdw200169> ActionParsnip1, doesn't ubuntu come with 'print to pdf' now
[15:47] <d0netsFN> sudo mount /dev/sdd /media/1gb
[15:47] <d0netsFN> mount: No medium found
[15:47] <gorgapor> gfather: don't you need a sftp client?
[15:47] <gfather> cp -R /path/* sftp:192.x.x.x/path
[15:47] <rick_w> Does anybody know if a cpu wears out quicker when it runs 100% load all the time?
[15:47] <rdw200169> adam1, again, it doesn't matter, if you buy the top of the line OpenType fonts, then it will print beautiful
[15:48] <adam1> rdw200169: seems bizarre to publically say they are pushing ubuntu for desktop users and then ship a default office editor with poor font rendering
 well im connecting to a device through ssh
[15:48] <oskar-> dublisk:  your problem is the black blank screen. does X come up after a time? if so, i don't see a problem. else: which boot loader do you use?
[15:48] <rdw200169> adam1, but it may still look like garbage on your screen; all that stuff depends on your screen and video drivers etc...
[15:48] <rdw200169> adam1, what resolution are you working with?
 and i want to copy a file to that device
[15:48] <ActionParsnip1> rdw200169: it does, just needs extra apps pulling in from repos
[15:48] <dublisk> oskar-: I never get any ubuntu screen or anything like that, its right after yaboot
[15:48] <rdw200169> ActionParsnip1, interesting, i've got 8.04 and i had it defualt
[15:48] <oCean_> d0netsFN: it seems that there is no partition on the /dev/sdd ? Is it listed in "fdisk -l" ?
[15:48] <Flesje^> where can i get blowfish for xchat as fish.sekure.us is not working
[15:49] <gorgapor> gfather: ah, i don't think that's sftp then. you need scp
[15:49] <adam1> rdw200169: 1650 x 1080 - the fonts on all other applications and on the os itself are great, it's just openoffice that is poor
[15:49] <ActionParsnip1> rdw200169: ive got it too, but thats how to install it if yuo dont ;)
[15:49] <oCean_> d0netsFN: use "sudo fdisk -l"
[15:49] <rdw200169> ActionParsnip1, makes sense ;)
[15:49] <d0netsFN> let me pastebin
[15:49] <ActionParsnip1> rdw200169: covers all bases :D
[15:49] <RParade> Hey guys,
[15:49] <d0netsFN> http://pastebin.com/m552613c1
[15:49] <ActionParsnip1> !hi | RParade
[15:49] <waylandbill> adam1, anyone who would be interested in decent fonts would install them.
[15:50] <RParade> I'm running Ubuntu 8.10, and I have dual monitors - I can get this working simple enough in GNOME, but I can't get this to work in IceWM or in XFCE, not JWM either
[15:50] <RParade> Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcome :)
[15:50] <ActionParsnip1> d0netsFN: /dev/sdc doesnt look healthy
[15:50] <oCean_> d0netsFN: so, it detects partitions/filesystems on /dev/sda,b,c - none on /dev/sdd - so it is not formatted
[15:50] <RParade> Is there anyway I can just load Gnome's mirroring service with XFCE?
[15:50] <d0netsFN> lemme try another card
[15:50] <rick_w> Does anybody know if a cpu wears out quicker when it runs 100% load all the time?
[15:50] <rdw200169> adam1, like i said, i don't use OpenOffice; regardless, you must admit that it's fantastic that you can read Word format documents in linux
[15:50] <adam1> waylandbill: if the target audience is more experienced users who are willing to spend time correcting minor niggles like fonts, then i agree with you
[15:50] <dublisk> rick_w: probably
[15:50] <ActionParsnip1> rick_w: dont think so, just make sure it doesnt over heat and its fine
[15:51] <gorgapor> RParade: i've got dual monitors working, all i had to do is use the display settings program in gnome
[15:51] <RParade> I'm using an ancient ATI laptop videocard and it'd be hopeless to try and get this working with it's drivers
[15:51] <adam1> rdw200169: yeah, that is nice
[15:51] <dublisk> rick_w: but other parts will probably go first
[15:51] <RParade> Same Gorga, but I need to use XFCE - I don't have the memory for Gnome
[15:51] <gorgapor> RParade: system > preferences > screen resolution
[15:51] <d0netsFN> one sec im gonna unplug and plug back in
[15:51] <RParade> I can get it working in Gnome, I can't get it to work with any other WM though
[15:51] <oCean_> dublisk: best answer all day! :-)
[15:51] <RParade> XFCE runs smooth for me
[15:51] <rick_w> Ok, thanks for the views
[15:52] <d0netsFN> http://pastebin.com/m5135a49b
[15:52] <rdw200169> adam1, this might help you get in the right direction though: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=272470
[15:52] <adam1> rdw200169: i think fonts should be fixed on openoffice as a priority if they have ambitons for more market share
[15:52] <waylandbill> adam1, yes. it's like people who edit graphics compared to graphic artists. :)
[15:52] <d0netsFN> ok theres another fdisk -l
[15:52] <rdw200169> adam1, for any serious work, everyone uses LaTeX or some other TypeSetting software...
[15:52] <oCean_> d0netsFN: yes, it recognizes a filesystem on that one
[15:53] <rdw200169> adam1, which linux supports emphatically...
[15:53] <d0netsFN> ok so why doesnt anything show up in places or /media/ like usual
[15:53] <RParade> it's depressing though, i can click a button and have it working in Gnome but not in XFCE
[15:53] <kitche> adam1: I don't notice a problem with open office but yes for professional stuff most use LaTeX
[15:53] <Bobohne> hello guys .... i am from germany(so don't wonder if my english is .... unusual :) ) and i want to test installing an ubuntu server edition on my server ... there is an promise sx6000 raid controller installed... on the promise page i only can find a driver for suse linux. so can i use this hardware with ubuntu?
[15:53] <mar> hi
[15:53] <d0netsFN> its only been happening since i started using mythbuntu
[15:53] <waylandbill> adam1, they would like volunteers if you have the skills.
[15:53] <kitche> d0netsFN: we don't know ask the mythbuntu people
[15:53] <RParade> and my videocard is so ancient it'd be a pain to make these adjustments through Xorg
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> RParade: if its installed and you have the gtk libs installed you can run the app as you would in gnome
[15:53] <d0netsFN> kitche like i said i have been asking in there for over a week
[15:53] <d0netsFN> i get 0 help
[15:54] <kitche> d0netsFN: well mythbuntu has nothing to do with ubuntu
[15:54] <d0netsFN> well its ubuntu desktop
[15:54] <rdw200169> adam1, again, i don't think they're particularly interested in that; they're more interested in compatibility, which is a nightmare in and of itself; for example, they got it working natively and MacOS X, which is a *huge* accomplishment
[15:54] <RParade> Right, I can access that through gnome-control-center, but when I restart X to start up the second display it doesn't happen
[15:54] <adam1> waylandbill: i dont have software skills unfortunately
[15:55] <oCean_> d0netsFN: did you paste all the output? If the final line of your paste *is* the final line of the output, then there is no filesystem
[15:55] <adam1> rdw200169: i dont doubt the technical accomplishments and im not attacking linux.  i think it's great that they are working towards compatibility etc
[15:55] <RParade> oh wow that worked, ActionParsnip, thanks
[15:55] <icqn> is there a key combination to open terminal window in nautilus?
[15:55] <RParade> it didn't work before
[15:55] <d0netsFN> no sorry
[15:56] <d0netsFN> http://pastebin.com/m11bfef67
[15:56] <oCean_> d0netsFN: but there probably is, I guess, it's just all of /dev/sde
[15:57] <rdw200169> adam1, that link i sent should get you in a closer direction though; it's more related to OpenOffice than ubuntu
[15:57] <adam1> rdw200169: im looking through it now, thanks very much
[15:58] <oCean_> d0netsFN: ok it recognizes it as fat16.. I'm not sure how the 'auto'mount to /media stuff works.. But you might want to pound the guys at mythbuntu again. If nobody here has same experience
[15:58] <clarks> can i use ubuntu server to put my own vhost ip?
[15:58] <rdw200169> adam1, as you can see, it seems as though they are a) aware of the problem and b) that's it's bigger than just OpenOffice, i.e. libfreetype, etc...
[15:58] <d0netsFN> i did
[15:58] <d0netsFN> i just asked them again about the problem, i promise, there is nobody every there to help. it is always just unanswered questions
[15:58] <d0netsFN> ever*
[15:58] <rdw200169> adam1, as a sidebar, you could take a shot at abiword
[15:59] <oCean_> d0netsFN: You can mount it by hand, or automatically by /etc/fstab, but I think that is not really the thing you're after
[15:59] <IndyGunFreak> d0netsFN: then the logical thing to do, is use a version that is reasonably supported. mythbuntu is only ubuntu w/ some media packages installed.
[15:59] <karamazov> where is ksh located in ubuntu server? not /usr/bin/ksh but where?
[16:00] <d0netsFN> no im not wanting to do that, i want it to be just like ubuntu, i want to plug it in, and it show up in places and /media/
[16:00] <adam1> rdw200169: k, i'll give that a look also
[16:00] <d0netsFN> right which is why i ask questions in here
[16:00] <IndyGunFreak> karamazov: /home/username/.ksh ?
[16:00] <karamazov> IndyGunFreak: is there no shared ksh for all users?
[16:01] <gordonjcp> hrm
[16:01] <IndyGunFreak> karamazov: i really don't know.. not that familiar w/ ksh, you just asked where it was, so i gave you a suggestion
[16:01] <IndyGunFreak> if there's not, you could set it to share
[16:01] <jedimindtrick> anyone know why wine sound support would suddenly stop? it used to work just fine, now i cant get any of the Wine apps to have sound? (also is there a Wine channel for support? #wine seems to be non-existent)
[16:01] <d0netsFN> http://pastebin.com/m4eb04c
[16:01] <d0netsFN> there is my fstab
[16:01] <gordonjcp> if you can convert from Hardy to Intrepid by just updating the packages, can you convert from Intrepid to Hardy?
[16:01] <gordonjcp> alternatively, will the Hardy -rt kernel work in Intrepid?
[16:01] <IndyGunFreak> !downgrade | gordonjcp
[16:02] <jtaji> karamazov: you would need to install the ksh package
[16:02] <gordonjcp> IndyGunFreak: okay, what about the Hardy -rt kernel in Intrepid?
[16:02] <adam1> rdw200169: latex, looks interesting.  is it practical for smaller documents eg cvs etc?
[16:02] <karamazov> hmm ok
[16:02] <adam1> rdw200169: cv/resume
[16:02] <IndyGunFreak> gordonjcp: i'd say thats pretty self explanatory
[16:02] <gordonjcp> IndyGunFreak: okay, so basically Intrepid isn't useful to me then
[16:02] <IndyGunFreak> gordonjcp: if you say so.
[16:03] <gordonjcp> IndyGunFreak: well, it doesn't support -rt and USB MIDI, or -rt and Nvidia graphics
[16:03] <gordonjcp> IndyGunFreak: it worked in Hardy, so I may as well stick with that
[16:03] <IndyGunFreak> gordonjcp: i've got nvidia graphics on my PC, it works fine, but whatever works for you.
[16:03] <gordonjcp> IndyGunFreak: are you using the accelerated drivers and a -rt kernel?
[16:03] <rdw200169> adam1, well, there is a document class for Resume's
[16:03] <karamazov> is there any script to restart openssh server if it's stopped?
[16:03] <IndyGunFreak> gordonjcp: no
[16:04] <gordonjcp> IndyGunFreak: there you go then
[16:04] <rdw200169> adam1, but latex isn't for the faint of heart ;)
[16:04] <adam1> rdw200169: im getting that impression
[16:04] <gordonjcp> IndyGunFreak: at present I need to dual-boot, because accelerated NVidia and -rt are mutually exclusive
[16:04] <rdw200169> adam1, it's the real deal when it comes to typesetting; such that a PDF created with latex is eligible for lulu.com printing, etc...
[16:04] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[16:04] <adam1> rdw200169: i suppose there is the divide of users that use latex and text editors and people in the middle ground who use word
[16:04] <iamarockstar> ok ppl hi i am back
[16:04] <gordonjcp> IndyGunFreak: I'm not sure if there's a better way to do it, but having two smallish / partitions, and sharing /usr and /home seems to work
[16:05] <iamarockstar> so now i have enabled ics in vista and also enabled dhcp
[16:05] <adam1> rdw200169: i will check it out just for the sake of curiosity i think :)
[16:05] <iamarockstar> and in ubuntu i have selected dhcp automatic
[16:05] <johan12> trying to compile a software it asks for gtk+-2.0 and gthread-2.0, what do i do?
[16:05] <iamarockstar> but still it is not working
[16:05] <iamarockstar> in ubuntu i am getting a no network connection and in vista it is limited nw connection
[16:06] <iamarockstar> any help?
[16:06] <oCean_> d0netsFN: it's not what you want, but you can add another line to fstab, copying the last one and changing /dev/sdc1 in /dev/sde1 and the /media/SP? mountpoint to whatever you like
[16:06] <audiopathik> how to use update-grub ?
[16:06] <rdw200169> adam1, i write a lot of papers for school; using latex, i can write in a text file, then when i'm done, i just turn it to pdf and print, no crazy formatting or anything; it just took a while to figure out the perfect latex preamble (etc..)
[16:06] <audiopathik> !update-grub
[16:06] <audiopathik> !grub
[16:07] <adam1> rdw200169: the general idea is more involved initially but ultimately more efficient?
[16:07] <rdw200169> adam1, then, i can type all the way up to the last minute and not waste precious time screwing around with page number etc...
[16:07] <rdw200169> adam1, yes.
[16:07] <adam1> rdw200169: i gotta go, thanks for advice
[16:08] <rdw200169> adam1, also look up xetex, which can use unicode, truetype, and opentype fonts

[16:11] <rdw200169> a931bw, why not just switch your Xorg to a different driver?
[16:11] <kitche> ugliefrog: used to escape or make something look like one string for example "Program Files" will look like Program Files instead of two words
[16:11] <vuokko_> no other packages depending on that package

[16:23] <oCean_> d0netsFN: It seems to me that one of those two is the initiator of the automount && auto-open

[16:30] <d0netsFN> i dunno

[16:30] <eni> ??
[16:30] <d0netsFN> right i know

[16:34] <lakitu> hey - is iwconfig included with ubuntu?
[16:34] <lakitu> or do you have to install it
[16:34] <gorgapor> Lasivian: Application software like openoffice and gimp might not be something you need
[16:34] <IndyGunFreak> lakitu: i believe its included, its a command line tool
[16:35] <oCean_> Lasivian: default install 4GB? Mine is little over 2GB
[16:35] <lakitu> IndyGunFreak: how sure are you?
[16:35] <eni> sudo apt-get install --purge --reinstall  libc6 will not work for me
[16:35] <IndyGunFreak> lakitu: well, open a terminal and type "iwconfig" no quotes, and see what comes up
[16:35] <deasy_> Dreamglider, i dont have to have dhcpForwarding on the wireless router?
[16:35] <Lasivian> oCean_: well, with some added packages, I;m meaning none of my own files on top of it
[16:35] <lakitu> IndyGunFreak: i don't have a fresh install, but i could maybe run a live disc. i just wanted to ask because it woulid be easier
[16:35] <Lasivian> i'm wondering if there is someplace I could check for downloaded stuff that I don;t need to keep on hand, etc
[16:36] <IndyGunFreak> lakitu: like i said, i'm pretty sure it is.
[16:36] <lakitu> IndyGunFreak: ok
[16:36] <Lasivian> i've done the apt-get clean/autoclean, etc and the cruft remover but that didn;t do anything as far as space goes
[16:36] <oCean_> Lasivian: have you checked Applications > Add/Remove ?
[16:36] <eni> i cannot start my gui anymore
[16:37] <Lasivian> oCean_: yeah, some stuff like floppy disk support or cd support it won't let me remove, but I don;t see anything that matters
[16:37] <Lasivian> it bugs me that it went from 3.7gb to 4.0gb and I did not install 300mb worth of stuff
[16:38] <oCean_> Lasivian: it may have installed required dependencies too.. most of the time aptitude will make a guess on how much diskspace is needed
[16:38] <IndyGunFreak> when 160-250gig hard drives, are bare minimum on machines that are even a year or so old, is 300mb worth getting worked up about?
[16:39] <Lasivian> oCean_: how often is something left behind after "apt-get remove"?
[16:39] <IndyGunFreak> even my dinosaur PC has a 40gig hard drive.;
[16:39] <Lasivian> like I installed Postgres then realized I didn;t know enough to work with it and removed it, yet it seemed to not free as much space as was free before
[16:40] <oCean_> Lasivian: I have no clue.
[16:40] <Lasivian> IndyGunFreak: This is an Aspire One notebook, it doesn;t have a HD, it has 8GB of flash memory
[16:40] <IndyGunFreak> Lasivian: it probably left a lot of the dependencies installed.
[16:40] <IndyGunFreak> Lasivian: i see.. my aspire one has a 160gig hard drive.. ;)
[16:40] <Lasivian> I went for battery life over space
[16:41] <IndyGunFreak> Lasivian: i've got one of the ION batteries, its fantastic
[16:41] <Lasivian> ION batteries?
[16:41] <IndyGunFreak> *Atom.. not ION
[16:41] <Lasivian> and is there any way to check for "leftover dependencies"?
[16:42] <IndyGunFreak> wait, man i'm sleepy,l ATOM processor, but the ATOM processor AAO's have a better battery
[16:42] <lazarus_lupine> apt-get autoclean or apt-get clean, Lasivian
[16:42] <lazarus_lupine> also another dep sepcific command I can't remember
[16:42] <ugliefrog>  yesterday somone wrote this bash command for me   sudo watch -n 5 'netstat -putan | grep 4000'  i copied and pasted into the terminal and it works fine but when i type it ..it doesnt work
[16:42] <galvanize> Hello, I have a quick question if anyone can help.
[16:43] <Lasivian> lazarus_lupine: i've used both of those commands, they didn;t seem to do much
[16:43] <Lasivian> I guess I should find the packages and search their dependencies by hand
[16:43] <galvanize> Is it possible to password protect my home directory on a linux system, for instance my school?
[16:43] <Lasivian> hrrm, can I see what packages are installed sorted by the date it was installed?
[16:43] <lazarus_lupine> usually apt-get autoremove gets rid of stuff like that
[16:43] <qcjn> hi, i've put the skydome, but it's just grey when i turn the cube
[16:44] <oCean_> ugliefrog: does not work, or does not return any output?
[16:44] <Jack_Sparrow> galvanize Your /home should only be accessible by your  account and root user
[16:44] <ugliefrog> the pasted woks ..gives output....but when i type it in nothing happens i have to ctrl z out
[16:44] <zigzag71> hello can anyone tell me if when setting apache up is it safe to leave the user and group as root?
[16:45] <karamazov> !print
[16:45] <Jack_Sparrow> zigzag71 I would not think  so
[16:45] <ugliefrog> its the ´ key next to shift right
[16:45] <galvanize> jack_sparrow: we are all connected on alinux/unix system and it is possible to cd into anyone's home.
[16:45] <DIFH-iceroot> zigzag71: apache always started the main thread as root, all other prozesses are wwwdata or wwwrun
[16:45] <karamazov> hi how do we print a file from command line?
[16:45] <karamazov> print blabla.txt?
[16:46] <DIFH-iceroot> karamazov: print on a printer or print to the screen?
[16:46] <karamazov> print on a printer
[16:46] <ugliefrog> oCean_:the pasted woks ..gives output....but when i type it in nothing happens i have to ctrl z out
[16:46] <unop> Lasivian,  { sudo zcat /var/log/dpkg.log*gz; sudo cat /var/log/dpkg.log; } | grep "status installed"

[16:47] <LordMetroid> Anyone know if it is possible to get an RCA signal out from the computer?
[16:47] <zigzag71> DIFH-iceroot so when I uplaod my web-pages should I set the permissions on them as root or as the account I am creating them in?
[16:47] <Jack_Sparrow> LordMetroid rca is a jack / plug type not a signal type
[16:47] <puck34696> hello everyone.  i am having a really hard  time finding a simple tool to convert .mkv video to .avi etc so i can transcode it to a ps3.  I have tried avidemux but I cant seem to get subtitles to work , mkvtoolnix is also not working very well for me.  does anyone have any simple way?
[16:47] <LordMetroid> Okay, I need that jack type
[16:48] <DIFH-iceroot> zigzag71: ah you mean /var/www/ i normaly dont use this, i am using mod_userdir so i can use ~/public_html as the user
[16:48] <oCean_> ugliefrog: the 'watch -n5' should at least output "Every 5.0 seconds: <blah>". You don't even get that for output?
[16:48] <stefg> LordMetroid: 'RCA' is notning but the coonector... you'll get a standard -10dB Line signal out of the green jack of your sound card, all it takes is a mechanical adaptor
[16:48] <zigzag71> ah
[16:48] <Jack_Sparrow> LordMetroid You mean you need ntfs signal out of   an existing rca jack/plug
[16:48] <LordMetroid> I want the video
[16:49] <Jack_Sparrow> LordMetroid Deos your video card support ntsc video out
[16:49] <ugliefrog> i get that but i dont know why the typed version doesnt work like the pasted command
[16:49] <LordMetroid> sure...
[16:49] <ugliefrog> it does output
[16:49] <LordMetroid> But is doesn't have the correct connector
[16:49] <stefg> lol... rca-to-ntfs adaptor... sounds pretty proprietary
[16:49] <LordMetroid> I want the yellow plug
[16:50] <karamazov> how do i configure cups-pdf from command line? i want to have a samba print server only having a pdf printer on it. how will i do it
[16:50] <Jack_Sparrow> LordMetroid What connector does it have
[16:50] <LordMetroid> DVI
[16:50] <karamazov> there are many howtos but they all explain how to configure cups-pdf via GUI but not cmd line
[16:50] <Lasivian> unop: thanks
[16:50] <rdw200169> karamazov, there's also a http version of the cups configuration
[16:50] <Jack_Sparrow> LordMetroid So you want dvi to ntsc video out if we understand what you meant
[16:50] <oCean_> ugliefrog: well, probably nothing is running on port 4000 right now? Breakdown the command: start with "netstat -anp | grep 4000"
[16:51] <LordMetroid> Yes, DVI to yellow plug
[16:51] <LordMetroid> Preferably maybe yellow+red and white
[16:51] <ftab> is there any GUI tool through which I can convert the text or html files to PDF?
[16:51] <rdw200169> LordMetroid, well, the red and white are audio, unrelated to video
[16:51] <karamazov> rdw200169: i have ubuntu server only. not command line. and i didn't configure apache or any http server
[16:51] <Jack_Sparrow> LordMetroid red and wiiithe are left and right sound and would probable not come off your dvi out
[16:51] <karamazov> is there no way to configure cups using cmd line?
[16:52] <rdw200169> LordMetroid, and yellow is analog, not digital, so there won't be a cable for tha
[16:52] <ftab> Jacl_Sparrow: I got my sound issue resolved :P
[16:52] <rdw200169> karamazov, yeah, i mean web-interface
[16:52] <ugliefrog> my point i mean is this when i use the keyboard for " ´ " it wont work. but when i use the pasted one it works?
[16:52] <LordMetroid> ohh, doh!
[16:52] <stefg> ftab: Uhhmm... openoffice ?
[16:52] <LordMetroid> :(
[16:52] <ftab> hmm
[16:52] <rdw200169> karamazov, like http://localhost:cups/
[16:52] <karamazov> rdw200169: in order to use a web interface i have to connect to server over http?
[16:53] <rdw200169> karamazov, it is on a port other than 80
[16:53] <exco> does Krusader have a fullscreen mode? (it doesn't have a titlebar)
[16:53] <ftab> wow that's great
[16:53] <rdw200169> karamazov, it has it's own web server thing
[16:53] <karamazov> hm ok. lemme try
[16:53] <StR|Sangreal> please, i have just installed my kubuntu and i would like to save configuration, installed packages names and other changes so that i can repeat the same setup in the future... is it possible?
[16:53] <rdw200169> karamazov, i can't remember what port and how to get it started, hold on, lemme google it
[16:53] <stefg> !clone | StR|Sangreal
[16:53] <gfxdreams> gm everyone :)
[16:54] <karamazov> ok rdw200169 i'm waiting
[16:54] <ftab> Str|Sangreal: what are you talking about dude you can use a motion capture program to do that
[16:54] <rdw200169> karamazov, http://<serverIP>:631/
[16:54] <gfxdreams> I'm interested in learning ubuntu, can I set it up while using Vista?
[16:54] <stefg> ftab: you're way off :-)
[16:54]  * gfxdreams is 100% n00b too linux.
[16:54] <tonsofpcs> hmm
[16:54] <Jack_Sparrow> LordMetroid Cheaper to buy a card that supports ntsc video out than to try and buy a converter   for your existing video card
[16:54] <ardchoille> StR|Sangreal: Please also ask in #kubuntu
[16:54] <rdw200169> karamazov, make sure there isn't a firewall blocking that port ;)
[16:54] <ftab> stefg: way off for what :-)
[16:54] <galvanize> exit
[16:55] <karamazov> how will i know that? i'm new with ubuntu
[16:55] <Jack_Sparrow> gfxdreams dual booting is easy, select which one you want during boot...
[16:55] <rdw200169> karamazov, try it first
[16:55] <karamazov> tried
[16:55] <karamazov> ie can't display this page
[16:55] <rdw200169> karamazov, can you ping that IP
[16:55] <karamazov> yes i can
[16:56] <oCean_> galvanize: it's all about access restrictions. You can change the permissions on the /home/dir
[16:56] <rdw200169> karamazov, you should have a line like this: tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:631           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
[16:56] <LLStarks> hi.
[16:56] <rdw200169> karamazov, when you run netstat -ln on the server
[16:56] <LLStarks> who do i bitch too about the lack of libass in totem?
[16:56] <LordMetroid> Jack_Sparrow, I have never seen a video card with yellow plug connector
[16:56] <Kraetzik> hey, somebody here who could help me with sound problems?
[16:57] <karamazov> ys i have
[16:57] <karamazov> yes
[16:57] <ftab> Kraetzik: what problem are you having?
[16:57] <Jack_Sparrow> LordMetroid Tons of them support it... look at mythtv or linuxmce to see what they recommend
[16:57] <lain_wired> Hiya
[16:57] <Kraetzik> sound output works fine, but cant get my microphone working
[16:57] <karamazov> rdw200169: i have that line
[16:57] <adam1> rdw200169: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/271283
[16:57] <ftab> using Intrepid?
[16:57] <rdw200169> karamazov, are you running any firewall?  check w/ iptables -L (as root)
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> LordMetroid many also support the round svideo output
[16:58] <rdw200169> karamazov, on the INPUT chain, it should just say (policy ACCEPT)
[16:58] <oCean_> Jack_Sparrow: I checked (what you said to mr galvanize, who's already gone btw) .. creating a new user results in a new homedirectory with 755 mode.
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> LordMetroid regardless. it is a conversation thet belongs in a hardware or video related channel
[16:58] <ftab> Kraetzik: do you have pulseaudio installed?
[16:58] <karamazov> there INPUT chains saying (policy ACCEPT)
[16:58] <oCean_> Jack_Sparrow: sure, one can change this, but 755 seems default
[16:58] <karamazov> no
[16:58] <Kraetzik> when I check the volume control (HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer)) the recording is always on mute
[16:58] <karamazov> only one INPUT chain saying (policy ACCEPT)
[16:59] <karamazov> others are OUTPUT and FORWARD
[16:59] <Jack_Sparrow> oCean_ I am aware..  but curious as to what his default was
[16:59] <Kraetzik> where can I check that?
[16:59] <adam1> rdw200169: hope they fix this prolem by 9.04, would certainly help them attract more mainsteam users
[16:59] <karamazov> all are accept
[16:59] <ftab> try alsamixer in terminal
[16:59] <rdw200169> karamazov, i don't know what to say then, it should work!
[16:59] <oCean_> Jack_Sparrow: ah, ok... we'll never know I guess :/
[16:59] <karamazov> maybe i didn't install cups?
[16:59] <rdw200169> karamazov, so you did: http://192.168.0.1:631/
[17:00] <icewaterman> any idea what i have to do in order to playback midi files with a soundblaster live?
[17:00] <rdw200169> karamazov, the IP address being an example
[17:00] <karamazov> i installed cups-pdf
[17:00] <karamazov> yes
[17:00] <rdw200169> karamazov, then i don't know...
[17:00] <gfxdreams> do u have to use open office , or can I stay with Office 2007?
[17:00] <icewaterman> i do not want software midi, the soundblaster allows for midi playback and midiports are available, but when i run pmidi, there is no sound output
[17:01] <Jack_Sparrow> oCean_ It made no sense to me that all users could browse the others /home
[17:01] <karamazov> rdw200169: yes exactly the same. actually http://192.168.2.33:631/
[17:01] <rdw200169> karamazov, whoops, i missed something, it's only listening on 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
[17:01] <karamazov> yes
[17:01] <karamazov> ?
[17:01] <marcinq_> hi everyone
[17:01] <rdw200169> karamazov, duh, hold on, lemme find the config file right quick
[17:01] <karamazov> ok
[17:01] <marcinq_> command /configure doesn't work
[17:02] <marcinq_> i don't know what can i do
[17:02] <oCean_> Jack_Sparrow: by default they can. I get new /home/dir in 755 mode.. thereby accessible by others
[17:02] <StR|Sangreal> ftab : please, i have just installed my kubuntu and i would like to save configuration, installed packages names and other changes so that i can repeat the same setup in the future... could you sketch up a simple sollution?
[17:02] <rdw200169> karamazov, yeah, /etc/cups/cupsd.conf has localhost
[17:02] <Kraetzik> @ftab all the volumes are on maximum
[17:02] <Jack_Sparrow> oCean_ read but not write and exe..\
[17:02] <oCean_> Jack_Sparrow: true
[17:02] <marcinq_> who can tell me why command /configure doesn't work ??
[17:02] <karamazov> rdw200169: so?
[17:03] <Jack_Sparrow> oCean_ Ok, so he could make a folder in his home that only he and root could access
[17:03] <rdw200169> karamazov, change 'localhost:631' to '0.0.0.0:631'
[17:03] <jrib> marcinq_: what exactly are you trying to do?
[17:03] <yepun> hi everybody
[17:03] <karamazov> ok
[17:03] <rdw200169> karamazov, then, restart cups, i.e. /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
[17:03] <oCean_> Jack_Sparrow: we can have tons of nice suggestions, but he's gone now :s
[17:03] <rdw200169> karamazov, then, netstat -ln should show: tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:631             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
[17:03] <Jack_Sparrow> yep
[17:03] <rdw200169> karamazov, then it should work
[17:04] <karamazov> rdw200169: wait a minute
[17:04] <karamazov> rdw200169: i edited the file
[17:04] <marcinq_> Im downloaded package and I unpack it then I did cd /home/user/Desktop/folder then /configure
[17:04] <karamazov> rdw200169: but /etc/init.d/cupsys restart command does not work
[17:04] <ftab> StrSangreal:  you can use http://live.gnome.org/Istanbul
[17:04] <jrib> !who | marcinq_
[17:04] <karamazov> rdw200169: it says that there's no such file or directory
[17:04] <jrib> marcinq_: what package
[17:04] <rdw200169> karamazov, the whole line should be: Listen 0.0.0.0:631
[17:04] <ftab> or you might be on different track, am I right?
[17:05] <karamazov> rdw200169: i did the line as you said
[17:05] <tarimari> hi guys
[17:05] <exco> my Krusader seems to have lost it's titlebar - how do I go about that?
[17:05] <marcinq_> !jrib ok it was xmms package
[17:05] <rdw200169> karamazov, the name may have changed since 8.04, just start typing cups and hit tab to see the options, from the /etc/init.d/ directory
[17:05] <tarimari> i want to do a dual boot with ubuntu and opensuse. ubuntu is already installed and has saperate  /boot partition.  i want to make saperate /home partition to use it both at ubuntu and opensuse. can i use the same /boot partition for both ubuntu and opensuse?
[17:05] <ftab> Kraetzik: please enter pidof pulseaudio in terminal and let me know if returns anything or not
[17:05] <karamazov> rdw200169: ok i'm doing it
[17:05] <rdw200169> karamazov, it's the 'tab completion' feature in bash (yay!)
[17:06] <Kraetzik> ftab yes: 5781
[17:06] <stefg> tarimari: i wouldn't do that
[17:06] <rdw200169> karamazov, that, or you can just do: 'ls /etc/init.d/' and see which one correlates to cups
[17:06] <ftab> hmm Which software are you using for capturing the mic?
[17:06] <tarimari> stefg: why ?
[17:06] <karamazov> rdw200169: ok everything's done but one problem
[17:06] <ftab> I mean the sound
[17:06] <marcinq_> !tab jrib it was xmms package
[17:06] <g-hennux> hi!
[17:07] <karamazov> rdw200169: when i type http://ipofserver:631/
[17:07] <yu_raider> does anyone know how to change the refresh rate (it's stuck at 60Hz) on Ubuntu 8.10. I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it didn't have any video options, only keyboard options :S
[17:07] <robf> xmms is still around?
[17:07] <karamazov> rdw200169: it says 403 FORBIDDEN
[17:07] <robf> thought that was purged ages abck
[17:07] <bonez451> where can I find help in running Red Alert 3 on ubuntu?
[17:07] <karamazov> what now?
[17:07] <oCean_> !info xmms | robf
[17:07] <yu_raider> robf: I believe it's called Audacious now
[17:07] <stefg> tarimari: both distros have a different understanding of how menu.lst should look, and both migh fight over the vmlinuz and initrd.img symlink
[17:07] <oCean_> !info xmms2 | robf
[17:07] <yu_raider> bonez451: probably the wine app db if you're using wine. appdb.winehq.org
[17:07] <g-hennux> is it possible to dd a 20G disk image to a 40G disk and then simply use the free space for a linux installation? or is it in general a stupid idea to dd between disks of different size?
[17:08] <robf> yu_raider:  I'm not even sure if thats a fork
[17:08] <Kraetzik> gnome sound recorder
[17:08] <rdw200169> karamazov, hm.. interesting, does syslog on the server say anything about that?
[17:08] <robf> could be I spose,  never thought of it,  xmms is dangerous still no one ever fixed that exploit in it
[17:08] <Kraetzik> in the end it is for skype
[17:08] <Lasivian> is there any way to do a "complete removal" of a package that has already been removed?
[17:08] <yu_raider> robf: I thought I read that somewhere
[17:08] <tarimari> stefg: ok stef, then i ll keep /boot partition as it is for ubuntu, and then what is the best? to do one more /boot partition for opensuse, or combine all in one partition?
[17:08] <robf> yu_raider:  it may be a fork,  I dunno,  I don't have a lot of know on that particular.
[17:09] <robf> yu_raider:  I just went to vlc for all my audio out needs.
[17:09] <robf> cos it plays anything and everything,
[17:09] <ftab> Kraetzik: lol can you please send me the screen shots of your audio settings in skype
[17:09] <ftab> ?
[17:09] <tarimari> stefg: generally let's say that i have only opensuse at disk, is it advisable to have /boot partition separately?
[17:09] <Lasivian> robf: I tend to go with VLC as well
[17:09] <ftab> upload here imagevenue.com
[17:09] <stefg> tarimari: if you use plain ext3 (no lvm or raid) there's no benefit in using a separate /boot
[17:10] <ftab> Kraetzik: I had the same problem today and I was able to fix that :P
[17:10] <karamazov> rdw200169: well i didn't see anything related in syslog
[17:10] <Lasivian> I have a 5tb GPT/NTFS raid, i'm thinking of migrating the box it's in to Ubuntu, any reason not to? thanks
[17:10] <yu_raider> robf: did you try that daemon thingy everybody talks about?
[17:10] <rdw200169> karamazov, ah, you get this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+question/7880
[17:10] <cooler13> I need libxft1  !!
[17:10] <gorgapor> Lasivian: what kind of raid card is it? built into motherboard?
[17:11] <tarimari> stefg: i use ext4, that's why i made saperate /boot
[17:11] <Lasivian> gorgapor: Highpoint 2224 that has Linux drivers
[17:11] <Chungwa> Is there a CTRL-ALT-DEL like feature in Ubuntu that will allow me to close a program? I forced quit Amarok when it stopped responding but music is still playing
[17:11] <yu_raider> how to change refresh rate on ubuntu??
[17:11] <rdw200169> karamazov, we have to continue editing the config. i.e. /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
[17:11] <oCean_> !info libxft1 | cooler13
[17:11] <cooler13>  I need libxft1  !!  how can I get it?

[17:12] <cooler13> oCean_  I know there isn't
[17:12] <cooler13> but I need it
[17:12] <hendry> does anyone know how the Unicode compose key is implemented in Ubuntu?
[17:12] <tarimari> stefg: hmm. what's the benefit of using saperate partition only for /boot/grub and not for all /boot?
[17:13] <gorgapor> Lasivian: i've heard it recommended not to use a raid card on linux, just to use linux software raid
[17:13] <sagiam> milisek
[17:13] <oCean_> Chungwa: you can add option to panel: right-click on panel, choose add to panel, choose "force quit". It's nice
[17:13] <stefg> tarimari: one grub for all distros, but the kernels stay with their root filesystems
[17:13] <jspiros> How can I get a list of the packages installed by the server edition installer? I installed the desktop edition but I realize I would rather start with a minimal set of packages, and I think the server set (whatever it is) would be a good foundation
[17:13] <gorgapor> Lasivian: it will make sure that your data is safe even if the card craps out, or your mobo goes bad, or something else bad happens
[17:13] <switchseven> Hi all! Can anyone explain why my System Monitor and Conky are reporting different memory usage? 34.3% and 98%.
[17:13] <switchseven> Is conky reporting assigned memory, and gnome-system-monitor reporting used memory? Is there a difference?
[17:13] <switchseven> For those who know conky, i'm using $membar and $mem.
[17:13] <jrib> jspiros: no, that's not what you want.  You want the minimal cd then
[17:13] <oCean_> Chungwa: whenever you want to force-quit a window. Click on the applet in the panel, then on the window you want to close
[17:13] <jrib> !minimal | jspiros
[17:14] <Lasivian> gorgapor: odd thought, seems very counter-intuitive
[17:14] <rdw200169> karamazov, what's the ip of the server?
[17:14] <karamazov> rdw200169: 192.168.2.33
[17:14] <jspiros> jrib: well, no, I already have it installed, and I've been removing packages as they seem unneeded. I figured it would be nice to get a list of the packages installed had I used the server edition, so I can at least speed up my removal process
[17:14] <rdw200169> ok, these should be your Listen Lines:

[17:16] <rdw200169> karamazov, then, restart the server: i.e. the /etc/init.d/ thing
[17:16] <rdw200169> karamazov, then try again

[17:16] <icqnumber> is there a key combination to open terminal window in nautilus?
[17:16] <karamazov> rdw200169: i restarted the server but still 403 forbidden thing...
[17:17] <gorgapor> Lasivian: i'm not really qualified to give advice about this, but if you want a raid 5 in linux, you'll have to find somewhere to put your data, then build the array from scratch, then copy the data back

[17:18] <homeskillet> which comand do you use to name your computer in ubuntu?
[17:18] <tarimari> stefg: i want to do setup like you, but i have my main partitions at ext4. that's why i ask

[17:18] <rdw200169> karamazov, ah, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=166178 helped oh this one
[17:18] <stefg> tarimari: so just to keep things simple... don't share one /boot between distros, but you can setup your other distro with a separate /boot, too. just keep track which grub installation is active, and which menu.lst it is pointed to
[17:18] <IndyGunFreak> Kraetzik: ah, i don't do mic... sorry
[17:18] <yu_raider> does anyone know how to change refresh rate on Ubuntu??
[17:19] <Kraetzik> @ftab which sound in drop down you mean, the one in skype?
[17:19] <rdw200169> karamazov, sudo adduser cupsys shadow
[17:19] <StR|Sangreal> and simultaneously, maybe some kdm settings, layouts and other customized things
[17:19] <rdw200169> karamazov, then restart it again

[17:19] <karamazov> i think accidentally i killed cups
[17:20] <karamazov> i did sudo killall cupsd how can i start it back again?
[17:20] <Kraetzik> @ftab no I dont have ICH6

[17:21] <stefg> tarimari: i dont know/believe that grub can handle ext4 currently, so you will have to have a separate /boot on ext3 anyway
[17:21] <karamazov> ok but
[17:21] <karamazov> when i type sudo adduser cupsys shadow
[17:21] <tarimari> stefg: so i must make another small /boot partition for suse
[17:21] <Hamsterrrr> is there an irc channel for newbies?
[17:21] <karamazov> it says: the user 'cupsys' does not exist
[17:21] <tarimari> tarimari: how u managed to do your setup?
[17:21] <ftab> StR|Sangreal:  you want some thing like restore in future?\
[17:22] <stefg> tarimari: yup... doesn't hurt
[17:22] <tarimari> stefg: using live cd?
[17:22] <Kraetzik> @ftab I did that, made test calls, either it is stopping before actually making the call: "Problem with Audo Capture", or I talk but there is no recording when I listen to it
[17:22] <oCean_> cooler13: you might want to try a work around (and not install v1) Just make a link in /usr/lib from libXft.so.1 to the 'real one' libXft.so.2.1.2 - that way you'll be using the new version. If the application is up to it.
[17:22] <rdw200169> karamazov, what was the name of the file in init.d?
[17:22] <karamazov> cups
[17:22] <rdw200169> karamazov, that runs cups?
[17:22] <sebsebseb> does  Madwifi come as part of a clean Intrepid Ibex install or not?   if not can someone install it when not Internet connected?  from the install or Live CD.  or do they have to get the later version from website, and then bring it over on a USB stick or something?
[17:22] <karamazov> its cups
[17:22] <ftab> ok try one thing go to Applications > Sound & Video > Sound Recorder
[17:22] <rdw200169> karamazov, then try sudo adduser cups shadow
[17:23] <stefg> tarimari: I'd just present some unpartitioned space to the suse installer
[17:23] <jimi_hendrix> whats the command to search repos?
[17:23] <ftab> please test your voice there and let me know if that works
[17:23] <karamazov> the same: user 'cups' does not exist
[17:23] <jspiros> ryanCH: default-jdk should work
[17:23] <cooler13> oOcean_ : how do I do that?
[17:23] <oCean_> jimi_hendrix: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache search
[17:24] <LordOfTheNoobs> Rar.  I'm tight on time.  If anyone knows how to force ubuntu to scan for an inserted memory card I will owe them ten thousand internets / etc
[17:24] <jimi_hendrix> ok
[17:24] <hlfshell> hey guys - everytime I'm starting up my computer I get bothered with the keyring manager asking for passwords -hwo do i get rid of that?
[17:24] <Kraetzik> @ftab no it doesnt
[17:24] <rdw200169> karamazov, gah! what a pain!
[17:24] <oCean_> cooler13: cd /usr/lib
[17:25] <karamazov> rdw200169: it really is! :(
[17:25] <oCean_> cooler13: "sudo ln -s libXft.so.2.1.2 libXft.so.1"
[17:25] <danishjordan> Can someone help me with a few iso questions?
[17:25] <dayo_> ubuntu rules
[17:25] <dayo_> that is all
[17:25] <rdw200169> karamazov, you should just go the dirty way, and do it in the command line on the server: w3m http://localhost:631/
[17:25] <ftab> does it give any error when you try to record?
[17:25] <new_ubuntu_user1> hey im kinda new to ubuntu and i need help with my graphics card driver ok so i changd my vesa driver to my computers intel but unlike the vesa driver every thing is slow and choppy even without effects
[17:25] <erUSUL> !ask | danishjordan
[17:25] <karamazov> ah
[17:25] <karamazov> a command line explorer like lynx :)
[17:25]  * dayo_ is drunk, so that little outburst should be treated with leniency. but yes, ubuntu *does* rule!
[17:26] <grayson> Hi all, is there a link to check my next new laptop for compatibility with all Linux distros? Thank you.
[17:26] <rdw200169> karamazov, ah, you know of if, w3m comes default
[17:26] <rdw200169> karamazov, that should work, even though it looks like, well...
[17:26] <jspiros> I really do not want to reinstall Ubuntu, as it took me a while to get it stable on my ps3, but I want to clear all of the desktop/gui-related packages. I've been removing things like libx11 and been getting a lot removed that way, but it would be helpful if there was a way for me to get a list of the default packages installed on a "server edition" installation. so, where do I find such a package list?
[17:26] <danishjordan> Can .iso files be written by right clicking on the .iso and clicking write to disk? and will the CD be bootable?
[17:26] <erUSUL> danishjordan: yes that will work
[17:27] <danishjordan> Thanks
[17:27] <dayo_> jspiros: why didn't u use the alternate installation?
[17:27] <cooler13> ok
[17:27] <sirderigo> hey, i want to know, does someone know a program what i can use to transmit in justin.tv
[17:27] <linuxman410> got key created need to upload to keyserver how do i do that
[17:27] <Kraetzik> @ftab no
[17:27] <LordOfTheNoobs> nvm.  it finally recognized.  I'm going to have to figure out how this works and Faq it.
[17:27] <ubuntu_fox>  i need help with my graphics card driver ok so i changd my vesa driver to my computers intel but unlike the vesa driver every thing is slow and choppy even without effects
[17:27] <oCean_> cooler13: if the app can handle the newer version, it will run
[17:27] <jspiros> dayo_: because I had a 7.10 installer that I burned ages ago, and figured that as dpkg is used it would be easy enough to scale down
[17:27] <I> type /join #ubuntu-uk
[17:27] <rdw200169> karamazov, for future reference, you may want to read this, it's the most i could find, but it doesn't cover 8.10 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1831119
[17:28] <Kraetzik> @ftab but the sound level is stable all the time no matter how loud I speak
[17:28] <ftab> Kraetzik: please send me the screenshots for what you have in Sound In drop down
[17:28] <karamazov> rdw200169: thank you for your help :)
[17:28] <jspiros> dayo_: indeed, if I find such a package list this will be easy with dpkg --set-selections and such
[17:28] <jrib> jspiros: then just see what the ubuntu-minimal package depends on
[17:28] <Kraetzik> @ftab skype? or Sound Recorder?
[17:28] <jspiros> jrib: ah thank you
[17:28] <ftab> Skype
[17:28] <rdw200169> karamazov, i take it worked on localhost?
[17:28] <dayo_> jspiros: i recommend 8.04.2 alternate installation. do it clean
[17:28] <ftab> Kraetzik: before that please make sure that your mic is not muted
[17:29] <ubuntu_fox> ahem ahem ahem.............AHEM please help me  i need help with my graphics card driver ok so i changd my vesa driver to my computers intel but unlike the vesa driver every thing is slow and choppy even without effects
[17:29] <ftab> by going to System > Pref > Sounds
[17:29] <karamazov> what's the manifacturer for cups-pdf?
[17:29] <jrib> jspiros: and ubuntu-standard I suppose
[17:29] <poiuy> type /join #ubuntu-uk
[17:29] <jspiros> dayo_: any particular reason? I'm already running fine with jaunty after upgrading from release to release
[17:30] <jspiros> dayo_: anything that I'd be missing by managing my packages and using cruft to find useless files?
[17:30] <jspiros> jrib: thanks, that's what I needed
[17:30] <dayo_> jspiros: well, 8.04.2 is an LTS release. so i always recommend that, as opposed to jaunty and whatnot

[17:31]  * oCean_ sighs
[17:31] <bullgard4> How can I determine my 'local domain name'? (see man resolv.conf)
[17:31] <jspiros> dayo_: yeah, I could've compiled my own kernel but jaunty already has >2.6.26 and I need UDF 2.5 for hush-hush reasons
[17:31] <dayo_> jspiros: i see
[17:31] <rdw200169> karamazov, you may be able to do a work around in localhost, from the main page, there's a check box for 'Allow remote administration'...
[17:31] <meoblast001> i'm having what i call "a 64-bit delema".... i have a 32-bit program looking for stuff in /usr/lib so i got the 32-bit debs, pulled the /lib directory out of them and stuck them in lib32..... the programs are still looking in /usr/lib and i don't want to put the libraries in there because i don't want to replace the 64-bit ones.... what should i do?
[17:32] <boot_loop> Is there a web browser for Ubuntu/Linux that works similarly to IE when it comes to how a site is coded? Some web-apps work better in IE than in Mozilla, and I'm trying to find a Linux browser that works as well as IE does with these apps
[17:32] <karamazov> rdw200169: i checked that box
[17:32] <sebsebseb> boot_loop: probably Firefox add ons for what you want, but Linux has quite a few other good browsers as well
[17:32] <Chaorain> I'm trying to use a live cd but I get a crc error. I think it has to do with the graphics as I got crc with opensuse on some settings.
[17:32] <Kraetzik> @ftab it looks like I had the wrong sound device in the pref-> sounds, will work on that for a moment, ask again when I cant fix it, thanks for the moment
[17:33] <homeskillet> i installed ubuntu on my laptop and connected to my wireless router and it seemed to take on the name given by my windows desktop. is it safe to change my hostname/computer name from my ubuntu laptop or what?
[17:33] <oCean_> cooler13: did it work??
[17:33] <stefg> boot_loop: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[17:33] <boot_loop> sebsebseb: what addon would you recommend for my situation? I am playing tetris which is flash (i believe), and it works, but it is very choppy in Firefox, but works perfectly in IE
[17:33] <boot_loop> stefg: thanks
[17:33] <ftab> Kraetzik: you are welcome :)
[17:33] <sebsebseb> stefg:  no that should only be for web developers
[17:33] <sebsebseb> boot_loop: which version of IE?
[17:33] <boot_loop> 6
[17:33] <Coolkid> i tried running ubuntu live from the CD. But after ubuntu screen (the animation running left to right), i get blank screen. Nothing is on the display other than the curson on the top left corner. I waited more than 20 mins and nothing is coming. Same is happening when i selected "insall Ubuntu" option. any idea?
[17:34] <homeskillet> ie6 works in ubuntu?
[17:34] <boot_loop> homeskillet: no, I am referring to it'
[17:34] <boot_loop> s functionality in windows
[17:34] <boot_loop> but firefox works the same with this game in unbuntu AND windows
[17:34] <icqnumber> Is there a key combination to open terminal window in nautilus?
[17:34] <sebsebseb> boot_loop: don't do that IE  for Linux thing that, the other guy suggested.  that's for web developers to test websites.  Also  you only get the old classic look of IE anyway
[17:34] <homeskillet> i always have problems with flash and firefox
[17:34] <sebsebseb> boot_loop: the grey look
[17:35] <baz> are there GUI ways to mount a drive at boot or is it still editing fstab and figuring out the mount c ommand?
[17:35] <homeskillet> i suggest google chrome if you want an alternative to IE and have flash work well
[17:35] <ubuntu_person> could somebody please help me with my driver problem ok so i switched my graphics driver from vesa to intel so i could use effects but even without effects my graphics cards driver intel is real slow and choppy gelp
[17:35] <boot_loop> chrome is a browser?

[17:35] <ubuntu_person> k
[17:36] <sebsebseb> boot_loop: so  you just want a browser in Linux that works better with Flasho r?
[17:36] <boot_loop> sebsebseb: essentially yes =)
[17:36] <sebsebseb> boot_loop: well  sudo apt-get install epiphany  sudo apt-get install galeon
[17:36] <icqnumber> exodus_ms, Yes
[17:36] <karamazov> how can i print a pdf file using cups-pdf? "lp -d pdfwriter try.txt" ??
[17:36] <sebsebseb> boot_loop:  they use Gecko to same rendering engine as Firefox etc.   Flash may work better in them, worth a try
[17:36] <LEX_WELL> where is possible to see the directories that pkg-config looks for?
[17:36] <sebsebseb> boot_loop:  they should pick up on the Mozilla Flash plugin no problem
[17:36] <exodus_ms> icqnumber: sudo aptitude install nautilus-open-terminal
[17:36] <croddy> i have an apple extended keyboard ii connected via an ADB/USB adapter. there are two keys on my keyboard that i'd like to use, but they don't appear to send anything to xev. where should i look for information on how to configure the extra keys?
[17:37] <boot_loop> sebsebseb: thanks I'll give them a try
[17:37] <icqnumber> exodus_ms, I have this installed, but is there a key combination to do so?
[17:37] <sebsebseb> boot_loop: also there's a way to get  Flash working in Konqueror which is a very nice browser
[17:37] <saxartist> Hi, I just installed linux-rt and the associated headers but it isn't in grub when I reboot.  How can I add it manually?
[17:37] <the6step> can anyone point me to a starting point of making a package? I wanted to see how hard it would be to make a package to simply installation for people
[17:37] <roger84> join ubuntu-it
[17:37] <sebsebseb> boot_loop:  the  Free Software Foundations Gnash plugin is pretty good these days,  so if none of those browsers any good, you may want to try that.  sudo apt-get install Gnash
[17:38] <sebsebseb> boot_loop: that's an alternative to Adobes Flash
[17:38] <sebsebseb> boot_loop:  just like Swfdec is another one sudo apt-get swfdec  that's from the open source community.  again pretty good
[17:38] <exodus_ms> icqnumber: I'm not sure, you can map one if you like
[17:38] <icqnumber> exodus_ms, how does this work?
[17:38] <sebsebseb> boot_loop: of course Adobes will still be better, but that's propritary, and an alternative may be rather fine or better for the Flash you want
[17:38] <evad_> 'ello.
[17:38] <DarkRainbow> I got my computer connected to the TV, and changed resolution. The screen went black(Mode not supported), and now i cant change it back:( is there any shortcut i can do to change it back?
[17:39] <evad_> DarkRainbow: ctrl+alt+backspace will break out of X
[17:39] <evad_> or, restart it basically.
[17:39] <DarkRainbow> evad: Thank you, worked as it should:)
[17:39] <boot_loop> sebsebseb: do I have to uninstall flash to use gnash?
[17:39] <sebsebseb> boot_loop: yes
[17:39] <croddy> (ctrl+alt+backspace kills X, gdm is ususally what spawns a new x server)
[17:40] <boot_loop> ok
[17:40] <evad_> yeh
[17:40] <kdb424> Hey! Hate to bump in, but does anyone have an eee pc here? I'm having an F# key issue
[17:40] <f4> hi
[17:40] <sebsebseb> boot_loop: as a last restor you could run a Windows  browser  with the Windows version of Flash, but that's a bit of a  nasty thing to do for various reasons
[17:40] <sebsebseb> restort
[17:40] <baz> are there GUI ways to mount a drive at boot or is it still editing fstab and figuring out the mount c ommand?
[17:40] <sebsebseb> boot_loop: hell you could even run Windows inside Ubuntu
[17:41] <exodus_ms> icqnumber: open a terminal and run gconf-editor. Then browse to apps/metacity/keybinding_commands.
[17:41] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: and then run wubi?
[17:41] <sebsebseb> gordonjcp: wubi lol what???????
[17:41] <sebsebseb> gordonjcp:  wubi I woudn't recommend that ever
[17:41] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: run it in the windows you got running inside Ubuntu
[17:41] <sebsebseb> gordonjcp:  no virtual machines http://www.virtualbox.org
[17:41] <f4> I just installed ubuntu and i've got a problem with compiz ... I use the "desktop on a cube" plugin, I've set it so that i can rotate the cube with the mouse whell on the screen borders.... it works 70% of the time, the other 30% it turns in the wrong way
[17:42] <f4> any idea why?
[17:42] <sebsebseb> http://www.virtualbox.org :)
[17:42] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: yes
[17:42] <jarco> hello: is there an ubuntu ecuivalent of dvd shrink?
[17:42] <gordonjcp> oh never mind ;-)
[17:42] <croddy> baz, there's mountmanager but if you find fstab confusing it might not be much better
[17:42] <ardchoille> jarco: http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net
[17:42] <Coolkid> i tried running ubuntu live from the CD. But after ubuntu screen (the animation running left to right), i get blank screen. Nothing is on the display other than the curson on the top left corner. I waited more than 20 mins and nothing is coming. Same is happening when i selected "insall Ubuntu" option. any idea?
[17:42] <homeskillet> does virtualbox work better than vmware for running windows from ubuntu?
[17:42] <evad_> jarco: try handbrake.
[17:42] <brusteve> jarco: dvd -> xvid can be done with acidrip
[17:42] <f4> i've been using it this way on fedora for a little while without any problem
[17:43] <jarco> ok thx for suggestions
[17:43] <jarco> i ll check them out
[17:43] <sebsebseb> boot_loop: I meant wine for running the Windows browser, but  only as a last restort with a good reason in that case.   and then stick with the Linux browser the rest of the time of course
[17:43] <ardchoille> jarco: or you can try dvd95 it's in the repos. it shrinks a dual layer dvd to fit on a single layer dvd
[17:43] <croddy> homeskillet, at work we have some folks that use vmware and some that use virtualbox. there doesn't appear to be a significant difference in performance or stability between them overall.
[17:43] <jarco> ok ardchoille
[17:43] <bullgard4> How can I determine my 'local domain name'? (see man resolv.conf)
[17:43] <evad_> coolkid: alt+f2 or alt+f1 and see if you see any error messages
[17:44] <croddy> bullgard4, run hostname -d
[17:44] <Coolkid> evad_, thanks. will try
[17:44] <sebsebseb> gordonjcp:  wubi lol
[17:44] <saxartist> have any of you installed the Real time kernel and not had it show up in grub?
[17:44] <sebsebseb> gordonjcp: that's for people that are to noob to partition their hard disks
[17:44] <homeskillet> i installed ubuntu on my laptop and connected to my wireless router and it seemed to take on the name given by my windows desktop. is it safe to change my hostname/computer name from my ubuntu laptop or what?
[17:44] <evad_> homeskillet: sure
[17:45] <croddy> homeskillet, it is safe to change your hostname
[17:45] <sebsebseb> homeskillet:   wireless can go wrong
[17:45] <sebsebseb> is madwifi on the live cd or not? do I really have to boot it to find out
[17:45] <sebsebseb> I am trying to get a guys lap top  working on his wireless
[17:46] <sebsebseb> maybe he can configure it guiwise with his ssid and it takes care of the rest hummmmmmm
[17:46] <enntee> Hello all. I recently upgraded from Dapper LTS to  Ubuntu Hardy LTS server on my machine, and now anytime I try to transfer a file over a samba share, the machine's network connection dies (can't even ping anything until doing a /etc/init.d/networking restart). The machine doesn't lose its connection if I just use the IP address to access the share, though. Anyone know why this happens?
[17:46] <evad_> sebsebseb: you can mount the CD, then mount the casper/filesystem.squashfs image, chroot into it and find out :)
[17:46] <kdb424> ANyone else have problems with the F# keys? If I hit F1, it triggers F2, Hit F2, it does F3, ect...
[17:47] <sebsebseb> evad: the CD is in, but not sure about what you said
[17:47] <evad_> sebsebseb: you running windows or linux?
[17:47] <sebsebseb> evad: oh yeah good thought me,  I could just run it in virtualbox
[17:47] <evad_> ding
[17:47] <sebsebseb> evad: I don't have to restart my computer into it
[17:47] <bullgard4> croddy: 'hostnam -d' obtains the name of the DNS domain. I did ask for my 'local domain name'? (see man resolv.conf).
[17:47] <tsrk> how would i repeat a bash command 100 times?
[17:48] <sebsebseb> evad_:  what do you think?  what am I running?  what do you think?
[17:48] <evad_> if you're in linux, you could mount the CD (should happen automatically on your desktop), then navigate into the casper/ directory and monut the file called "filesystem.sqhashfs"
[17:48] <croddy> bullgard4, pretty sure it's the same thing
[17:48] <evad_> it would seem like kubuntu
[17:48] <sebsebseb> evad:  nope  Ubuntu, but Konversation yes
[17:48] <croddy> tsrk, for i in `seq 1 100` do; some bash cmds; done
[17:48] <tsrk> croddy, awesome, thanks
[17:48] <baz> croddy, i would like to not have to study the mount command to figure out what to copy/paste into fstab - the operating system is already mounting it with "connect to server" i just want to make it autostart
[17:48] <sebsebseb> evad_:  mount a file that is on the CD not done that
[17:49] <sebsebseb> evad_:  just right click and mount when I find it or something?
[17:49] <croddy> baz, the mount command is very useful and i highly recommend learning it
[17:49] <bullgard4> croddy: I have enough problems building a handy Ubuntu configuration. There is 'pretty sure' not sure enough.
[17:49] <evad_> sebsebseb: one second
[17:49] <gordonjcp> right then, time to nuke and pave, and upgrade to Hardy
[17:49] <jrib> baz: if it's ntfs or vfta, you can use ntfsconfig
[17:50] <sebsebseb> gordonjcp: I missed the chat, but  why not Intrepid?
[17:50] <ScottWegner> is there a media client for Linux which can seek back and fourth in real media (.rm) streams?  The RealPlayer client on Windows can, but it doesn't seem possible for RealPlayer on Linux..
[17:50] <meoblast001> i'm having what i call "a 64-bit delema".... i have a 32-bit program looking for stuff in /usr/lib so i got the 32-bit debs, pulled the /lib directory out of them and stuck them in lib32..... the programs are still looking in /usr/lib and i don't want to put the libraries in there because i don't want to replace the 64-bit ones.... what should i do?
[17:50] <baz> croddy, there are 100 million things that would be useful to learn - it makes sense to learn them as the need arises
[17:50] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: because it's broken in many important ways
[17:50] <jrib> ScottWegner: have you tried mplayer?
[17:50] <sebsebseb> ScottWegner: of course
[17:50] <sebsebseb> yeah I was going to say mplayer
[17:51] <homeskillet> why are my screen(1) sessions gone when i reboot?
[17:51] <enntee> Does anyone know why transferring a file over samba would kill the network connection?
[17:51] <baz> jrib, its an ftp on my local network
[17:51] <ScottWegner> I wasn't aware mplayer could handle real media... I'll check it out
[17:51] <croddy> homeskillet, screen sessions are processes, when you reboot all processes are killed
[17:51] <jrib> baz: then you probably need to edit fstab yourself
[17:51] <sebsebseb> gordonjcp: well hardy is a downgrade
[17:51] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: the -rt kernel doesn't work properly with USB MIDI stuff
[17:51] <ScottWegner> what's the package for the mplayer frontend?
[17:51] <homeskillet> darn
[17:51] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: I can't use Intrepid because lots of stuff just plain doesn't work
[17:51] <jrib> ScottWegner: mplayer includes the frontend
[17:51] <sebsebseb> gordonjcp: loads of good music players for Linux, and as a last restort you can run the Windows ones
[17:51] <ScottWegner> jrib: ok great, thanks
[17:51] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: what?
[17:52] <sebsebseb> oh wrong person
[17:52] <samphippen> if I want to compile using 32 bit libraries on a 64 bit system which package do I need?
[17:52] <sebsebseb> ScottWegner:  loads of good players in Ubuntu, and as a last restort you can run the Windos ones
[17:52] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: since I'm using it for music stuff, I need both -rt and USB MIDI
[17:52] <ART> ok
[17:52] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: ideally I need Nvidia binary drivers, because I can't wait all day for my screen to paint, too
[17:53] <sebsebseb> gordonjcp:  well can probably get your issues working
[17:53] <sebsebseb> gordonjcp:  ,but  Intrepid has a competly diffenet version of xorg from hardy
[17:53] <Dayson> I am having trouble installing Ubuntu on a Dell Dimension 2400, Help please
[17:53] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: yes, I noticed
[17:53] <sebsebseb> gordonjcp: which could be causing your issue
[17:53] <ortsvorsteher> !details | Dayson
[17:54] <evad_> sebsebseb: open a terminal, 'mkdir -p cdimage/mnt; cd cdimage; sudo mount -o loop whatever.iso mnt; mkdir squashfs; sudo modprobe -a squashfs; sudo mount -t squashfs -o loop mnt/casper/filesystem.squashfs squashfs; sudo chroot squashfs`. once you're inside do "export LC_ALL=C; export HOME=/root" and check for your mad-wifi
[17:54] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: no, the -rt kernel is just plain broken with USB MIDI
[17:54] <Lupine> Anybody know about a regression issue with iptables from Hardy -> Intrepid?  Firewall scripts are no longer working: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iptables/+bug/320899
[17:54] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: there's no fix, and nothing planned
[17:54] <sebsebseb> gordonjcp: fine  downgrade to Hardy if you want.  nothing that major in Intrepid anyway
[17:54] <cunda> mrb
[17:54] <Cpudan80> Lupine: yes
[17:54] <evad_> brb
[17:54] <sebsebseb> gordonjcp:  then you can try the next one in April
[17:54] <sebsebseb> next Ubuntu
[17:54] <earthen> having a problem with grub it will not boot my winxp partition
[17:54] <gordonjcp> sebsebseb: I'm really really hoping they have it in Jaunty, yes
[17:54] <Cpudan80> Lupine: oh ehhh no I dont know how to fix it -- but I know it is a problem
[17:54] <Lupine> Cpudan80, thx...is there a solution? workaround?
[17:54] <croddy> gordonjcp, also are you sure you need -rt?
[17:54] <cunda> nasılsınız
[17:54] <gordonjcp> croddy: yes
[17:54] <Lupine> Cpudan80, gotcha, thx
[17:54] <Dayson> I boot up using the CD and get the install screen but nothing happens after that
[17:55] <gordonjcp> croddy: very very sure, thanks ;-)
[17:55] <croddy> just checking
[17:55] <gordonjcp> croddy: how else would you do low latency audio?
[17:55] <sebsebseb> evad_: well never done that before, but  worth a try
[17:55] <croddy> gordonjcp, in my experience most of the latency problems with audio were resolved in the 2.4 to 2.6 transition
[17:55] <croddy> but... if you really need the minimum number of samples of latency, then a realtime kernel is what you need
[17:56] <sebsebseb> gordonjcp: oh and of course other distros may be rather ideal for what you want to do
[17:56] <evad_> sebsebseb: you're basically just mounting the squashfs image off the install CD -- which should contain everything you see in the liveCD environment once you boot it
[17:56] <enntee> Does anyone have ANY idea why samba would kill the network connection after an upgrade to Hardy LTS on my server? /etc/init.d/networking restart fixes it.
[17:56] <evad_> do a apt-cache search madwifi or what-have-you once you're chrooted
[17:56] <baz> is there anyway to *see* the code that ubuntu used to mount something
[17:56] <gordonjcp> croddy: yes, that's why I need -rt
[17:56] <earthen> can I just reinstall grub and let it refind all the os's
[17:56] <sebsebseb> baz: the source code :d ?
[17:56] <gordonjcp> croddy: unfortunately for some reason -rt breaks USB MIDI
[17:57] <croddy> yeah
[17:57] <gordonjcp> croddy: and since two of my four MIDI interfaces are USB, this leaves me a bit stuck ;-)
[17:57] <baz> sebsebseb, not the source, but the 'mount' command - so that i could copy it into fstab so that the drive mounts at boot
[17:57] <croddy> gordonjcp, have you considered building your own kernel? it is not nearly as complicated as it used to be, especially if you use kernel-package
[17:57] <sebsebseb> evad_:  maybe the guy just needs to  install madwifi and then the commands for it work
[17:57] <gordonjcp> croddy: if it's broken upstream, that's not really going to help
[17:57] <croddy> ah ok
[17:58] <gordonjcp> croddy: I suppose I could try building an un-tampered-with kernel
[17:58] <pdroy80> Hi All, does the postfix in ubuntu support sqlite as the db backend, can not see a postfix-sqlite package
[17:58] <croddy> gordonjcp, if i recall correctly, there is at least one patch you need to apply to boot from debian-style initrds, but it's been over a year since i've built a kernel for a debian system
[18:00] <Dayson> what do I do next? nothing happens after the install screen appears
[18:01] <Lillymon> My system text colour on my Kubuntu install is white. Tooltips from Qt apps appear as black text on a yellow background, which is fine. Tooltips from GTK+ apps appear as white text on a yellow background, which is unreadable. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
[18:01] <sebsebseb> evad_: ISO oh, but I got it on CD
[18:02] <sebsebseb> evad_: not sure if I have the ISO here for it
[18:02] <Lillymon> I kinda like Deluge, but the unreadable tooltips make it really hard to use.
[18:02] <evad_> sebsebseb:  "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=whatever.iso" :)
[18:02] <sebsebseb> evad_:  am I meant to put something in for whatever.iso?????/
[18:03] <sebsebseb> a   name
[18:03] <evad_> whatever you want to call the iso image
[18:03] <sebsebseb> oh
[18:03] <sebsebseb> it will make an ISO
[18:03] <sebsebseb> of the CD?
[18:03] <evad_> yeap
[18:03] <sebsebseb> ah ok
[18:04] <Tekumel> If a program that is available as a package is installed from the programmer's website (not in package form), it won't be recognized by Synaptic as installed will it?
[18:04] <lubosz> hi
[18:04] <brandon__> is there a program like itunes
[18:04] <gordonjcp> croddy: the current kernel build system has the Cthulu nature ;-)
[18:04] <evad_> tekumel: no, but that sound nefarious
[18:04] <lubosz> how do i figure out the path to my fax modem device?
[18:05] <Chungwa> So my DVD RW has stopped recognizing any CDs, DVDs or blank DVDs. I pulled the drive and stuck it in my WinXP system and it worked OK. Ubuntu recognizes the drive but constantly says there's nothing in it and it cannot be mounted. I was trying to make some DVD videos a couple of days ago and it was working then. Any ideas on what I can do to fix whatever it is I did? It's a Philips DVD/CD Rewritable drive
[18:05] <sebsebseb> evad_:  can you give it again without the   undeeded  "  and  '     the first lot of commands
[18:05] <brandon__> is there a program like itunes that you can music
[18:05] <sebsebseb> !itunes
[18:05] <sebsebseb> !players
[18:05] <hajar> Hi.. my computer stop and display black screen with message ( run local boot ) how can I solve this?
[18:05] <evad_> sebsebseb: mkdir -p cdimage/mnt; cd cdimage; sudo mount -o loop whatever.iso mnt; mkdir squashfs; sudo modprobe -a squashfs; sudo mount -t squashfs -o loop mnt/casper/filesystem.squashfs squashfs; sudo chroot squashfs
[18:06] <evad_> there may be a typo in there
[18:06] <evad_> if so, fix it
[18:06] <lubosz> brandon__: try rythmbox
[18:06] <lubosz> brandon__: on kde amarok
[18:06] <sebsebseb> brandon_:  try these sites there's a particular good itunes alternative some where
[18:06] <lubosz> brandon__: or mozilla songbird
[18:06] <sebsebseb> brandon_:  ,but for general music and video I would recommend Banshee
[18:06] <sebsebseb> braondon_:  ,but if you want Ipod suppourt
[18:07] <sebsebseb> Banshee Intrepid Ibex versions :)
[18:07] <sebsebseb> Hardy version sucked
[18:07] <lubosz> how do i figure out the path to my fax modem device?
[18:07] <ed_> i'm having trouble with sound. what's changed since alsa?
[18:07] <evad_> probably /dev/modem
[18:07] <lubosz> nope evad_
[18:07] <lubosz> not such file or dir
[18:07] <evad_> then dmesg | grep -i modem
[18:07] <lubosz> thx evad_
[18:07] <croddy> lubosz, i would expect /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS(something)
[18:08] <Chungwa> Does anyone think that reinstalling the driver's for my DVD RW would help it recognize discs again?
[18:08] <lubosz> croddy: yes, 0 and 1 does not work for me :/U
[18:08] <ed_> Chungwa: why do you need a dvdrw driver?
[18:08] <Tekumel> Chungwa: Maybe? I've never seen a optical disc stop working due to drivers, they just crap out on the hardware side.
[18:09] <lubosz> hm, maybe i turned it off in bios :D
[18:09] <karamazov> i can't print anything using lp
[18:09] <Chungwa> ed & Tekumel, I don't know if I do. I just know that the drive suddenly wont recognize any discs in Ubuntu, but will in WinXP (but my WinXP machine is like 8 years old)
[18:09] <NET||abuse> hey guys? what's happening with ufo alien Invasion,,, i get ufoai-data -music -server-data but the game files don't show up.
[18:09] <karamazov> in localhost:631 - the jobs link
[18:09] <karamazov> it says "cancelled" to any jobs
[18:09] <karamazov> why is that*
[18:10] <hajar> Hi.. my computer stop and display black screen with message ( run local boot ) how can I solve this?
[18:10] <Tekumel> Chungwa: Huh. What else have you changed lately? That is rather odd, and doesn't seem like something that'd just happen arbitrarily.
[18:10] <croddy> i have an apple extended keyboard ii connected via an ADB/USB adapter. there are two keys on my keyboard that i'd like to use, but they don't appear to send anything to xev. where should i look for information on how to configure the extra keys?
[18:10] <Chungwa> I haven't changed anything hardware wise, I've just installed a couple DVD video creating packages is really all
[18:11] <brandon__> is there a program like itunes that you can buy music
[18:11] <ed_> brandon__: amazonbay
[18:11] <croddy> brandon__, also there are a couple of music store plugins in rhythmbox
[18:11] <Chungwa> Of course, I'm very new to linux so for all I know I accidentally messed up something with my DVD drive...
[18:13] <gmathews> Hi - how do i get upgrade from open office 2.4 to open office 3.0? I am on intrepid
[18:13] <brandon__> how do u get to the music store
[18:13] <rnk> apt installed a package that refuses to configure, and i can't remove it with either apt or dpkg
[18:13] <Lillymon> Ugh, I still can't figure this out. Tooltips in Qt applications look normal, but tooltips in GTK+ applications have white text on a yellow background. Does anyone know how I change that text colour?
[18:14] <zigzag71> is there a way to receive RSS feeds in Evolution?
[18:15] <Cpudan80> gmathews: its not available in Interpid yet
[18:15] <gmathews> Cpudan80: i thought that was the new thing that would be with intrepid :/
[18:15] <Cpudan80> gmathews: there are ways to do it -- but then you cant go back to 2.4
[18:15] <vallhalla81> hi there i hve just got a new lcd monitor but my system is picking it up as a crt as a result the res is wrong can anyone advise?
[18:15] <gmathews> is 3.0 worth it
[18:15] <Cpudan80> gmathews: supposedly OO put out a 3.01 update or something and that will be backported to 8.10
[18:16] <clsmith> sebsebseb: City of Bristol.
[18:16] <gmathews> Cpudan80: thanks - do u have any links?
[18:16] <auberon> join #ubuntu-fr
[18:16] <croddy> gmathews, it depends on what you're waiting for. i was hoping for opentype support but that didn't make it into the v3 betas i tried
[18:16] <clsmith> (whoops)
[18:16] <zerogate> i want to install windows next to my ubuntu - i've got two hdds. is there any reason why i should install it on the other hdd? i think it doesn'T matter, or does it?
[18:16] <gmathews> croddy: I am looking for true 2007 docx support
[18:16] <rnk> I have a problem: the package acpi-support refuses to be configured or remove with both apt-get and dpkg
[18:16] <syockit> gmathews: I think it is. It's stable enough I guess
[18:17] <rnk> thereby blocking me from using apt-get

[18:30] <salmon> hey got a problem, trying to install ubuntu on a friends laptop and it won't recognize the internet. i have tried all the steps on the ubuntu forums and nothing seems to work, anyone have any ideas??
[18:30] <xliquid> so i can browse, edit, delete files on my shared drive thats in my windows machine. ubuntu is seeing it and i can use it. but when i go into transmistion and try to change the destination folder, the shared drive is not an option.
[18:30] <jtaji> Clawson: pan is good
[18:31] <jtaji> Clawson: sudo aptitude install pan
[18:31] <step21> xliquid: is it mounted read/write?
[18:31] <hajar> Hi.. my computer stop and display black screen with message ( run local boot ) how can I solve this?

[18:31] <Clawson> thanks jtaji, i'll give it a go
[18:31] <xliquid> step21: im pretty new to ubuntu.. how do i check if it is read/write?
[18:32] <famous> i just set up some compiz features, i don't remember if there was buzzing before that...
[18:32] <step21> xliquid: if you can copy/move files to it
[18:32] <xliquid> step21: yes i can
[18:33] <salmon> hey, trying to install ubuntu 8.04 on a friends laptop and it does not want to be nice and connect to the internet, anyone want to tell me what im doing wrong here
[18:33] <step21> xliquid: then what do you mean "not an option" try navigating to /media/<yourdrivelabel> or something like this ...
[18:33] <connor901> i need help i can boot from a regular ubuntu disk but when i try from a ubuntu server edition it wont boot
[18:34] <step21> salmon: why not 8.10? also more description is needed
[18:34] <PMEDUB> I am new to Ubunu... I am looking for someone who can tell me why I cannot connect to a wireless Network.  Any experts out there?  When I select the network, it sias 'connecting...' then it goes back to disconnected.
[18:34] <HumanGrowthHm> salmon, did you have checked your wifi/netcard drivers?
[18:35] <salmon> step21: well i only have a 8.04 disk and am going to upgrade it as soon as i can get a connection, i have tried entering network info and all that. it just seems to refuse to connect, it will search and find nothing, i have tried all the things it says on the ubuntu forums i was just wondering if there was something i may be missing
[18:35] <HumanGrowthHm> PMEDUB, check your card's model and the state of the proper driver
[18:36] <xliquid> step21: hm. maybe i have it set up wrong. i have an icon on my desktop that is labeled F on winbox... when i double click that it takes me to the F drive on my windows machine... so when i go into Transmition and click edit> preferences> desitination folder> other and it opens up that file browsing window, i dont see F on winbox under Desktop

[18:37] <step21> xliquid: well, i'm not sure where it should be, but it might not be called F ... try going to / in transmission and check /media and /mnt if they list either F or winbox
[18:37] <salmon> HumanGrowthHm: there are no drivers that need to be checked except his vidoe driver, which won't go without the net
[18:38] <HumanGrowthHm> try to reinstall your ubuntu. I also have problems with my internet con
[18:38] <PMEDUB> I have a belkin N1 Wireless Network card.  I am currently booted in Windows to access the net.  Do you think I need some drivers?
[18:39] <salmon> ok one last thing, can someone list off the 4 partitions i need for a manual install just so i don't mess it up, noob here
[18:39] <hajar> Hi.. my computer stop and display black screen with message ( run local boot ) how can I solve this?
[18:40] <HumanGrowthHm> I don't know much about wireless, but they are some tricky under linux
[18:40] <step21> salmon: why 4?
[18:40] <salmon> im just trying to get a wired connection for starters
[18:40] <step21> at the most you need 3
[18:41] <step21>  / /boot and swap
[18:41] <step21> and windows if you ahve it
[18:41] <HumanGrowthHm> salmon: Is you connection wired?
[18:41] <salmon> or is it 3, see i installed ubuntu a long time ago and don't remember what partitions i needed, i know i need a /boot and a /swap, then /home right?
[18:41] <step21> no, just / (root) not home needed
[18:42] <salmon> HumanGrowthHm: yes
[18:42] <FFForever> i only have 4gb of music =(
[18:42] <step21> you can also put /boot on / if you want
[18:42] <FFForever> wrong room
[18:42] <HumanGrowthHm> and what do you get when starting Firefox?
[18:42] <mattfletcher> hello is there any way of reinstalling grub from windows - i have installed windows 7 and i have no ubuntu disc or blank discs
[18:43] <salmon> i start firefox and get the ubuntu home page, but can't go to any other sight or link on the page
[18:43] <step21> salmon: do you know terminal a bit?
[18:44] <HumanGrowthHm> salmon: Are you sure that your card is Linux-Compatible?
[18:44] <salmon> step21: yeah a bit
[18:44] <beth_> is there a way to use prerelease for just one package?
[18:44] <salmon> HumanGrowthHm: no i am not all the sure
[18:44] <beth_> proposed or whatever it's call
[18:44] <beth_> called
[18:45] <HumanGrowthHm> check it... Do you got any connection in the past with that card
[18:45] <HumanGrowthHm> ?
[18:45] <baz> I'm having lots of trouble moutnign my network drive... this is what I have in FSTAB: smb://192.168.0.199/downloads/ /media/diskstation smbfs
[18:45] <salmon> the fact of matters i can't get a connection either wireless or wired
[18:45] <step21> type "ifconfig" in a terminal and look for the word UP and RUNNING near etho (eth0 should be the network card)
[18:45] <zzsonic> Hi,
[18:45] <salmon> HumanGrowthHm: in windows
[18:46] <baz> i get an error "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on smb://192.168.0.199/downloads/" when i try to run this in FSTAB: smb://192.168.0.199/downloads/ /media/diskstation smbfs
[18:46] <xliquid> step21: idk im stumped. i dont see it in either location you mentioned or anywhere else for that matter, except for my desktop but when in any program.. transmition and/or utorrent , under desktop, there is nothing listed

[18:47] <HumanGrowthHm> then, you should check your card's Linux-compatibility. If you have that integrated into the motherboard, it should be compatible.
[18:47] <Stalker72> I want to reinstall Ubuntu with my memory stick, but when I boot up it automatically loads the currently installed Ubuntu. How can I boot from the memory stick? I don't know of a shortcut since it doesn't tell me any during boot. My motherboard is an Asus P6T Deluxe.
[18:47] <zzsonic> I need alittle advice.  I recently installed 8.10 successfully the 1st time.  I screwed something up and decided to do s fresh install.  Now I get the input/output error message that has plagued many.  What is the solution?
[18:47] <step21> is there anything under the locations i mentioned? maybe like sda3 or something?

[18:48] <muzanaka1> Hello
[18:49] <Cpudan80> !ru | muzanaka1
[18:49] <Cpudan80> I think that's russian
[18:49] <xliquid> step21: mnt is empty but media has cdrom, cdrom0 and mountname
[18:49] <rdw200169> Stalker72, you gotta tell it to boot from USB in the BIOS when it boots
[18:50] <step21> xliquid: check mountname, if it looks like your windows drive
[18:50] <Stalker72> rdw200169: I have.
[18:50] <stnormal> can someone walk me through how to enable my NIC in recovery mode?
[18:50] <step21> (like if it has a "windows" or similiar directory)
[18:50] <jcfp> baz: try without "smb:" at the beginning
[18:50] <rdw200169> Stalker72, no dice?
[18:50] <dsr> So arrivato anche io ... ciauz
[18:51] <rdw200169> Stalker72, what did you use to make the memory stick?
[18:51] <HumanGrowthHm> Somebody can help me with my internet connection? I also have troubles; they are an slow connection from normal servers (15 - 20 kb/s in a 2M service) but with torrents all is OK
[18:51] <Stalker72> rdw200169: I don't remember the name of the tool :P
[18:51] <rdw200169> Stalker72, i've heard that unetbootin works really well
[18:51] <stangar> Will someone please help me? When I try to make an ftp connection with fireftp I get this error: 500 I won't open a connection to 127.0.1.1 (only to 10.1.10.2) : //
[18:51] <salmon> im lost,
[18:51] <step21> HumanGrowthHm: disable torrents and normal internet will be fast again
[18:52] <syockit> rdw200169, Stalker72: unetbootin rocks dude!
[18:52] <Stalker72> syockit: That's what I used
[18:52] <HumanGrowthHm> But I was not running any torrent during the slow downloads.
[18:52] <unop> stangar, what hostname/ip address are you providing to fireftp?
[18:52] <stufkan> anybody knows if your ISP can close ports?
[18:52] <Stalker72> rdw200169: I used Unetbootin
[18:52] <rdw200169> syockit, perhaps you can help him then, i've never used it
[18:52] <step21> salmon: rly seems like your card is not supported.
[18:52] <stangar> bengllc.com
[18:52] <stufkan> and if, why would they have interest in closing port 21?
[18:52] <step21> salmon: do you have another pc to check
[18:53] <kennydude> help! my left mouse button has gone mad!
[18:53] <stufkan> kennydude: testet it on another computer?
[18:53] <jtaji> stufkan: ftp is a common service they might be trying to block, others are 80 and 25
[18:53] <kennydude> it's a touchpad
[18:53] <ugliefrog> where can i find ansi colors info.... i want to try and change colors in the terminal for some scripting
[18:53] <unop> stangar, is that your own site?
[18:53] <salmon> step21: well the one im on is running 8.04 from the same router, i know the internet is working, just not on his rig, is there anything that can be done abotu an unsupported card?
[18:53] <stangar> unop, I am using bengllc.com.  It has worked in the past but something has changed and I do not know what.
[18:53] <xliquid> step21: its empty... that folder called moutname is local... i duno how it got there. whats weird is that if i go to Places> Computer... in the left margin it has F on winbox with an eject button and it also has Network... but when i go to Transmition and go to edit>preferences> destiation folder> other... that window that pops up does not have F on winbox in the left margin.. nor does it have Network...

[18:54] <stufkan> jtaji: okay, but last week i had a full working ftp server, but now port 21 i dead, can that be my isp?
[18:54] <stnormal> anyone? Is it possible to activate an internet connection from recovery mode?
[18:54] <baz> jcfp, maybe i have to provide a username/password?
[18:54] <step21> stufkan: depends on your country I guess ^^
[18:54] <baz> jcfp, is that possible?
[18:54] <unop> stangar, what ip address does bengllc.com resolve to on your machine?
[18:54] <kennydude> stufkan: it's a touchpad
[18:55] <jtaji> stufkan: it's a possibility, along with misconfiguration on your end
[18:55] <Cpudan80> stufkan: yes
[18:55] <Cpudan80> stufkan: can people on your LAN access the FTP server?
[18:55] <Cpudan80> through your LAN IP ?
[18:55] <stufkan> kennydude: makes it more difficult, try a livecd
[18:55] <stufkan> Cpudan80: good idea! i'll try!
[18:56] <kennydude> it might be a jaunty bug
[18:56] <stangar> unop, 75.148.96.17
[18:56] <Cpudan80> Most ISPs block 21 (FTP), 25 (SMTP), 80 (HTTP) inbound stufkan
[18:56] <unop> stangar, what happens when you point fireftp at that address?
[18:56] <gg> Hello !
[18:56] <Cpudan80> Unless you have roadrunner -- in which case those idiots block nothing
[18:56] <unop> stangar, or ..  this one 10.1.10.2
[18:56] <Cpudan80> stupid roadrunner ...
[18:56] <stufkan> Cpudan80: but it worked last week? thats the strange part
[18:56] <stangar> unop, I get that error message
[18:57] <Cpudan80> stufkan: maybe they saw some traffic and decided they didn't like it ;-)
[18:57] <unop> stangar, not the name .. the ip address
[18:57] <Cpudan80> stufkan: we do that here - axe stuff we don't like after its happened
[18:57] <flashkidd> does someone use brasero 0.90?
[18:57] <stufkan> just strange when I have used torrent for 2 years
[18:57] <switchseven> is there a defragmenter in ubuntu?
[18:57] <stufkan> and then they decide to close a 2 day old ftp?
[18:57] <stangar> unop, what exactly do you mean by "resolve to on my machine"?

[19:00] <unop> stangar, that command, in the terminal
[19:00] <kennydude> flashkidd: look in the log, if it says it can't put the disk back in for vertifing then it's okay
[19:00] <Cpudan80> switchseven: ext2 is also fine -- ext3 supports larger volumes, among other things

[19:12] <kennydude> beth_: whichever's installed
[19:13] <beth_> I think something is broken because I updated as chroot and the permissions are wrong, I'm curious as to what it should be
[19:14] <csc_> is there a way to not be prompted for installing updates of specific packages only ? i have an updater daemon running on the desktop but i dont want to unselect the packages i modified for my needs  each time
[19:14] <kennydude> beth_: close and re-open the terminal window
[19:14] <kennydude> beth_: chroot is used for the current terminal window
[19:14] <icqnumber> Is there a key combination to open terminal window in nautilus?
[19:15] <kennydude> csc_: not unless you code it yourself
[19:15] <beth_> I copied my fs off the disk with dump and restore and put it on another linux system
[19:15] <beth_> in that system I chrooted into my ubuntu install and updated
[19:15] <csc_> kennydude, what do you mean code?
[19:15] <kennydude> csc_: code your own updater
[19:15] <beth_> I'm not back in ubuntu, not a chroot, but now the permissions are funny
[19:15] <f4> I just installed ubuntu and i've got a problem with compiz ... I use the "desktop on a cube" plugin, I've set it so that i can rotate the cube with the mouse whell on the screen borders.... it works 70% of the time, the other 30% it turns in the wrong way
[19:15] <f4> any idea why?
[19:16] <f4> i've been using it this way on fedora for a little while without any problem
[19:16] <csc_> kennydude, so there is not config option at all ?
[19:16] <kennydude> beth_: why don't you only put the data you need and re-install the distro and copy your data back

[19:20] <pjames> kennydude: not sure if you understand what I'm trying to do.  I just need to use the phone as modem to connect to the internet.
[19:20] <Cpudan80> danishjordan: did you burn the CD correctly?
[19:20] <danishjordan> I believe so. I right clicked on the .iso and hit write to cd.

[19:20] <Cpudan80> danishjordan: boot up to XP and see what is on the CD -- if it just the ISO file, you burned it wrong
[19:20] <bmorris> I tried escaping it with a back slash but that didn't seem to work
[19:21] <Cpudan80> danishjordan: it should be a bunch of stuff
[19:21] <mssever> bmorris: You can use a backskash or quotes to escape spaces
[19:21] <icqnumber> Is there a key combination to open terminal window in nautilus?
[19:21] <israel_flores> Here is the problem i can see the the arthoes card but it is disabled and everything i have read said that the driver that comes with ubunto does not work
[19:22] <mssever> icqnumber: No, but you can configure global keyboard shortcuts
[19:22] <pjames> kennydude: that was not my question that was someone else. :)
[19:22] <kennydude> icqnumber: use ubuntu tweat: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
[19:22] <israel_flores> and there is not a package for it
[19:22] <TiZ> I'm not really sure what services are alright to disable. Some of them are obvious to me, and those are now disabled. What other ways can I improve boot time? Bootchart shows that the entire thing takes 43 seconds. :x
[19:22] <kennydude> pjames: sorry
[19:22] <pjames> kennydude: no problem.
[19:22] <danishjordan> I no longer have XP on thijs computer. it is a full partition of ubuntu 8.10
[19:22] <mssever> israel_flores: OK, what compilation errors are you getting?
[19:22] <bmorris> mssever: here is the scp command that I'm using: scp 216.***.***.**:/media/disk-1/Users/bmorris/Torrents/Tv\ Shows/The.Office.S05E11.HDTV.XviD-LOL.[VTV].avi .
[19:22] <kennydude> danishjordan: try removing the CD and ubuntu should boot
[19:22] <bmorris> but It's giving me this error: scp 216.254.167.20:/media/disk-1/Users/bmorris/Torrents/Tv\ Shows/The.Office.S05E11.HDTV.XviD-LOL.[VTV].avi .
[19:23] <pjames> hey guys, I'm trying to setup a t-mobile dash to become a wireless modem for a laptop running 8.10, any thoughts as to how?
[19:23] <lackS> Hi everybody
[19:23] <danishjordan> I have ubuntu right now. I am trying to reformat and get XP on here.
[19:23] <jdahl> not a specific ubuntu question, but anyway:  how do I do ssh port-forward to use a campus proxy server (where I have an account)?  I thought it's supposed to be something like this:   "ssh -L 9090:www.campusserver.com:21",  but that doesn't work
[19:23] <bmorris> scp: /media/disk-1/Users/bmorris/Torrents/Tv: No such file or directory
[19:23] <bmorris> scp: Shows/The.Office.S05E11.HDTV.XviD-LOL.[VTV].avi: No such file or directory
[19:23] <lackS> I've got some questions concerning automounting NTFS partitions from external devices
[19:23] <mssever> bmorris: square brackets also have special meaning. If you're not using that meaning, escape them, too
[19:23] <kennydude> dansihjordan: run the XP installation disk
[19:23] <embartp> anyone know how to install vim on 8.04.2 ?
[19:23] <danishjordan> What do you mean?
[19:23] <lackS> danishjordan: What's the problem?
[19:24] <kennydude> danishjordan: put it in and re-boot the machine
[19:24] <Cpudan80> embartp: sudo apt-get install vim-full
[19:24] <bmorris> mssever: it looks like it's breaking on the /TV Shows/ though
[19:24] <Cpudan80> embartp: that gets you the colorful vim + gvim + ...
[19:24] <bmorris> I just tried escaping the square brackets but that didn't help
[19:24] <Cpudan80> embartp: basic vim is already in there
[19:24] <Lau_of_DK> Gents, Vino-server is unuseable for my present situation due to firewall issues, Do we have a free alternative to Yugma which goes through firewalls?
[19:24] <danishjordan> I have ubuntu right now. I need to boot from an XP CD. I have tried booting with it in the disc drive. the BIOS is set up properly, but it doesn't recognize that I have the CD there.
[19:24] <mssever> bmorris: Try surrounding the entire path with single quotes
[19:24] <absheiper> hi
[19:24] <embartp> Cpudan80: vim-tiny got no highlight
[19:25] <lackS> jdahl: Try mapping it to the same local port number as you are using on the server
[19:25] <kennydude> danishjordan: is the CD bootable?
[19:25] <embartp> Cpudan80: vim complain about the vim-common
[19:25] <lackS> danishjordan: How old is your drive?
[19:25] <Cpudan80> embartp: right - install vim-full
[19:25] <tobi> join #ubuntu11
[19:25] <danishjordan> 12 months old.
[19:25] <lackS> tobi: Add a / before :-)
[19:25] <pjames> hey guys, I'm trying to setup a t-mobile dash to become a wireless modem for a laptop running 8.10, any thoughts as to how?
[19:25] <bmorris> mssever: same error with single quotes
[19:25] <embartp> Cpudan80: do i need to install vim-full or just vim ?
[19:25] <lackS> danishjordan: Ok, should not be a problem... do you have a second machine or drive where you could try it?
[19:26] <jdahl> lackS, isn't port 21 the right one to use for http?
[19:26] <Cpudan80> embartp: sudo apt-get install vim-full
[19:26] <danishjordan> I'll try right now, but it has ubuntu on it too.
[19:26] <Cpudan80> Run that command
[19:26] <lackS> pjames: Talking about WLAN
[19:26] <Cpudan80> It's what you want
[19:26] <lackS> jdahl: Port 21 is FTP
[19:26] <mssever> bmorris: Have you verified that you're typing the filename correctly? Because I know for a fact that spaces aren't a problem for scp...I use scp regularly
[19:26] <pjames> lackS: ya basically.
[19:26] <lackS> jdahl: HTTP is 80, HTTPS usually 443. 8080 is also used in some cases.
[19:26] <danishjordan> Trying it right now on an ubuntu laptop.
[19:27] <embartp> Cpudan80: but vim-full does not have the ubuntu logo in synaptic :(
[19:27] <lackS> pjames: I've used wifi-radar for this on another distro and it went just fine. What kind of encryption does the TMO net use?
[19:27] <danishjordan> It might be the CD though,because it booted straight into ubuntu
[19:27] <Cpudan80> embartp: dont worry about it - just isntall it
[19:27] <lackS> danishjordan: Yep, seems like that
[19:27] <pjames> lackS: not sure, good question though.
[19:27] <Cpudan80> embartp: the logo is just a "favorite package" thing that gets tagged to packages that a lot of people have
[19:27] <Cpudan80> embartp: not many people have vim-full
[19:27] <lackS> pjames: You should definitely know this and the keyphrase to connect to it
[19:28] <estudiante> Hello
[19:28] <lackS> pjames: It might be WPA, I don't know if you can set it up with the network button in the upper bar
[19:28] <pjames> lackS: ok, in vista it asks for nothing, you just plug it in and it just connects.
[19:28] <danishjordan> I think it's the CD. lol..
[19:28] <estudiante> My Ubuntu doesn't work anymore. It loads gdm, with the mouse pointer locked, no keyboard echo, alsa & network disabled, got some kern logs, can you have a look please? http://paste2.org/p/135766
[19:28] <lackS> pjames: So it should be an open network if you didn't enter any password or a thing like that
[19:28] <embartp> Cpudan80: it include vim-gui
[19:28] <Cpudan80> embartp: yes
[19:29] <lackS> pjames: Try connecting with wifi-radar, DHCP enabled.
[19:29] <embartp> Cpudan80: i do not need that
[19:29] <pjames> lackS: ok, let me see if I can nab that.
[19:29] <lackS> pjames: Should be in apt-get or Synaptic
[19:29] <pjames> lackS: ok, thanks.
[19:29] <lackS> Does anyone know something about NTFS automounting
[19:29] <kennydude> estudiante: try re-installing it
[19:29] <lackS> pjames: Does it work?
[19:30] <Cpudan80> embartp: then remove it after installing vim full
[19:30] <lackS> estudiante: Hang on, I'll take a look
[19:30] <mssever> lackS: It should work automatically :)
[19:30] <estudiante> kennydude, what, sorry?
[19:30] <estudiante> lackS, thank you so much
[19:30] <bunti> what can i do that ubuntu does not start the printer daemon?
[19:30] <kennydude> estudiante: re-install ubuntu. it sounds like some critical files have been removed
[19:30] <embartp> Cpudan80: result -> "vim-full: Depends: vim-gnome but it is not going to be installed"
[19:30] <danishjordan> Does anyone know where I could find an iso for windows XP? I have a key...
[19:30] <embartp> Cpudan80: can't install it :(
[19:31] <lackS> mssever: Yes, it does, but do I have write permissions by default?
[19:31] <kennydude> danishjordan: the pirate bay
[19:31] <Cpudan80> embartp: sudo apt-get install vim-gnome vim-full
[19:31] <gray--> bunti: how does it start it?
[19:31] <lackS> estudiante: Np, hang on
[19:31] <danishjordan> kenny, what torrent program is there for ubuntu?
[19:31] <mssever> lackS: You should, because it's NTFS-3G
[19:31] <Cpudan80> embartp: if you had started with the command line, you would have that problem
[19:31] <estudiante> danishjordan, Transmission
[19:31] <thopiekar> could someone please help me.. http://pastebin.com/d29b06b9e.. I want to build a package on scratchbox (chrosscompiler with debian-environment) of the ubuntu-sources (by apt-get source)..
[19:31] <kennydude> danishjordan: transmission and utorrent via wine
[19:31] <lackS> estudiante: Do you have an X log? Should be in /var/log/Xorg.something
[19:31] <thopiekar> but i get this message... http://pastebin.com/d29b06b9e
[19:31] <estudiante> lackS, right away
[19:32] <bunti> when i boot, it loads the printer daemon, called something like cups
[19:32] <lackS> mssever: Ok, that's quite fine. I'm reinstalling a computer used by a lot of people which don't know much about Linux, so I'll finally give Ubuntu a try on this machine
[19:32] <lackS> estudiante: Fine :-)
[19:32] <seanos_s> Hi, how do I set an environment variable permanently?
[19:32] <pjames> lackS: trying it now'
[19:32] <lackS> seanos_s: Just for yourself or the whole system?
[19:32] <kennydude> thopiekar: why not use launchpad?
[19:33] <gray--> bunti: ls /etc/rc*.d | grep cups
[19:33] <mssever> seanos_s: Put it in your ~/.bashrc or /etc/profile
[19:33] <embartp> Cpudan80: i'll give it a try
[19:33] <seanos_s> lackS: just myself,
[19:33] <seanos_s> thanks
[19:33] <lackS> pjames: Ok, tell what it finds and what you get
[19:33] <thopiekar> launchpad.. I'm even not registered
[19:33] <lackS> seanos_s: You can put it in ~/.xprofile (That's in your home directory)
[19:34] <kennydude> thopiekar: it's dead easy to. it's easier to publish packages without errors like that
[19:34] <dominique> hi
[19:34] <pjames> lackS: him program says it can't lauch?
[19:34] <estudiante> lackS, Well, I'm stucked only on the last kernel, the 2.6.24.22 loads fine
[19:34] <lackS> seanos_s: Just put a line saying "export VARIABLE_NAME=value" into it and it should work
[19:34] <estudiante> estudiante, Here's the Xorg log http://paste2.org/p/135772
[19:34] <Gerinych> how can i get rid of the arrow in the bottom-left corner of Main Menu applet?
[19:34] <estudiante> lackS, http://paste2.org/p/135772
[19:34] <lackS> pjames: Open a console, fire it up there with sudo and see what it reports
[19:34] <mssever> lackS: I've never heard of ~/.xprofile. What's that file for?
[19:34] <embartp> Cpudan80: result -> " vim-gnome: Depends: vim-common (= 1:7.1-138+1ubuntu3) but 1:7.1-138+1ubuntu3.1 is to be installed E: Broken packages"
[19:34] <thopiekar> kennydude: so i have to register and then?
[19:34] <lackS> mssever: Local profile settings, it's a very basic file in Linux :-)
[19:35] <embartp> Cpudan80: there is no different with synaptic
[19:35] <unanxbt> How can I recover data from an ext3 partition?
[19:35] <kennydude> thopiekar: set up you're ppa and then follow their instructions for builiding your packages
[19:35] <mssever> lackS: But not with an x in the beginning...
[19:35] <thopiekar> ppa?
[19:35] <wraund> how can i rebuild the apt-get database?
[19:35] <Cpudan80> hrmm
[19:35] <Cpudan80> !info vim-full | embartp
[19:35] <danishjordan> If I install XP, then ubuntu, will my hard disk be any slower on either of the OS's?
[19:35] <mssever> lackS: Does .xprofile get read on X startup or something?
[19:35] <Cpudan80> embartp: your sources are screwed up
[19:35] <jdahl> lackS, fyi,  this is what I needed to write: "ssh -L 9090:wwwproxy.kom.auc.dk:3128 skoda.kom.auc.dk"...  I was missing the second server name
[19:35] <Gerinych> wraund: sudo apt-get update
[19:35] <lackS> mssever: No, with a dot in the beginning. Files beginning with a dot are hidden
[19:35] <Cpudan80> embartp: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install vim-full
[19:36] <ohhai> When trying to compile using cmake, compiler cannot find my CURL, even though the latest version is installed. Using 8.10, 32bit. Here's a more detailed log of the occurrence: pastebin.com/m781a34a0
[19:36] <lackS> mssever: You have to enable "Show hidden files" somewhere in the menus of Nautilus
[19:36] <gray--> wraund: there's literally tons of pages on google offering how to do that
[19:36] <embartp> Cpudan80: i did the update thing
[19:36] <mssever> lackS: I know about hidden files
[19:36] <lackS> jdahl: Ok, thanks. Works now?
[19:36] <lackS> mssever: Ok, sorry
[19:36] <Cpudan80> embartp: open System --> Admin --> software sources, check the top 4 boxes
[19:36] <lackS> mssever: If it's not there, just create it
[19:36] <danishjordan> If I install XP, then ubuntu, will my hard disk be any slower on either of the OS's?
[19:36] <jdahl> ,a
[19:36] <jdahl> ,
[19:36] <lackS> mssever: Usually your system should take care of this file
[19:36] <wraund> help with this please http://paste.ubuntu.com/109531/
[19:36] <lackS> danishjordan: No, not at all
[19:36] <jdahl> lackS, yes - now it works
[19:36] <mssever> lackS: I've seen ~/.profile, .bash_profile, ..bashrc, and several others, but I've never encountered .xprofile. That's why I've asked
[19:37] <estudiante> kennydude, I'm not sure, there's need to reinstall, it fails only on the last 8.10 kernel, the 2.6.24.22 works fine
[19:37] <gray--> danishjordan: depends where on the disk you choose to place your partitions
[19:37] <kennydude> danishjordan: if the drivers are up to date then you don't
[19:37] <quentusrex> Does anyone know how to setup a bluetooth headset as an audio device?
[19:37] <lackS> mssever: Yes, it's getting read when you're entering your user's X session
[19:37] <seanos_s> lackS: I created xprofile and added the export but I opened a terminal and it didn't seem to have registered.
[19:37] <embartp> Cpudan80: i did
[19:37] <kennydude> estudiante: oh well - i don't know
[19:37] <gray--> danishjordan: the higher the cylinder, generally the slower it'll be
[19:37] <mssever> lackS: OK, that's valuable to know
[19:37] <lackS> mssever: You can take .profile also IIRC
[19:37] <Cpudan80> embartp: ok now run that update thing and the install thing
[19:37] <mssever> lackS: Thanks
[19:37] <lackS> mssever: np :-)
[19:37] <lackS> estudiante: Hang on, I'm still checking
[19:37] <danishjordan> Are there NVIDIA drivers that I can download for an NVIDIA 8500 GT, because the display does NOT work (lots of dodgy colors) with the card installed.
[19:38] <estudiante> lackS, All right
[19:38] <lackS> seanos_s: Is it xprofile or .xprofile?
[19:38] <gray--> danishjordan: if it's just a desktop install for nothing inparticular, it's probably not worth worrying about
[19:38] <embartp> Cpudan80: i did
[19:38] <embartp> Cpudan80: you have vim on yours ?
[19:38] <mssever> lackS: .bash_profile and .bashrc don't get read on X startup, and I don't use .profile for reasons even I don't understand :)
[19:38] <Zzeiss> gray--: Not necessarily.  newer drives use CLV mixing, so sometimes a drive actually gets _faster_ toward the outside cylinders.  There was a good article with analysis of this in one of the tech blogs recently.
[19:38] <seanos_s> lackS: .xprofile but I had to create it, wasn't it my home folder
[19:38] <seanos_s> *in
[19:38] <Cpudan80> danishjordan: did you enable the proprietary driver?
[19:38] <lackS> seanos_s: Not good... I don't assume you need it for console work, do you?
[19:38] <danishjordan> No clue. how do i do that ;)?
[19:38] <gray--> Zzeiss: so you mean they're quicker towards the centre of the disk?
[19:38] <Cpudan80> embartp: yes ... and sudo apt-get install vim-full works for me
[19:39] <Cpudan80> danishjordan: system --> admin --> restricted drivers
[19:39] <danishjordan> Oh. It wouldn't let me enable
[19:39] <Cpudan80> danishjordan: why not?
[19:39] <lackS> estudiante: You f**cked up your graphics driver as far as I can see
[19:39] <mssever> lackS: seanos_s : .xprofile isn't there be default. But there's no problem creating such a file
[19:39] <lackS> estudiante: Are you familiar with the console?
[19:39] <Zzeiss> gray--: No, I mean that it cannot be determined ahead of time whether inner or outer tracks are "faster".  You Just Have To Test.
[19:39] <seanos_s> lackS: yeah from the console, well scripts I want to run use the variables
[19:39] <estudiante> lackS, fair enough
[19:39] <danishjordan> It said it wasn't available
[19:39] <lackS> seanos_s: So you fire up a console for using it?
[19:39] <embartp> Cpudan80: what vim-common version do you have ?
[19:39] <estudiante> lackS, hmm, I've already removed fglrx
[19:39] <seanos_s> lackS: yes
[19:40] <danishjordan> That was when I tried putting Extra Visual effects (wobbly windows, etc.)
[19:40] <gray--> Zzeiss: i really don't get that, how would the inner cylinders be faster?
[19:40] <mssever> seanos_s: Then you want .bashrc
[19:40] <embartp> Cpudan80: 1:7.1-138+1ubuntu3.1 ?
[19:40] <Cpudan80> no
[19:40] <seanos_s> mssever: Ok thanks
[19:40] <mssever> seanos_s: Assuming your shell is bash ( the default)
[19:40] <MatBoy> weird, it seems that mdadm keeps rebuilding the raid on sunday 1am when I commented the line in /etc/cron.d/mdadm
[19:40] <Cpudan80> 1:7.1.314-3ubuntu3
[19:40] <Cpudan80> embartp: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[19:40] <danishjordan> I'm download NVIDIA proprietary drivers atm
[19:41] <lackS> seanos_s: So just put it into .bashrc if you're using bash (you are if you didn't change it=
[19:41] <embartp> Cpudan80: 8.04.2
[19:41] <Cpudan80> danishjordan: you prob needed to enable a repository
[19:41] <lackS> estudiante: Try removing all other ATI related stuff, too
[19:41] <Cpudan80> embartp: ok so that explains the difference
[19:41] <danishjordan> How do I do that.
[19:41] <Zzeiss> gray--: Outer cylinders are faster in CLV mode.  Because if you write data at constant linear density, the outer tracks have a longer path, so you can squeeze on more and more tracks on the outer cylinders.  So, for any fixed rotational speed (5400, 6000, etc) you can read or write more tracks in the outer tracks than the inner.
[19:41] <Cpudan80> embartp: you should still be able to get vim-full
[19:41] <lackS> estudiante: ...and then reinstall it
[19:41] <seanos_s> lacks, mssever: worked thanks
[19:41] <Cpudan80> danishjordan: : open System --> Admin --> software sources, check the top 4 boxes
[19:41] <minche> hello
[19:41] <estudiante> lackS, How do you know it's a graphic issue?
[19:41] <embartp> Cpudan80: how can i back to the old vim-common ?
[19:41] <lackS> seanos_s: at your service :-)
[19:42] <Zzeiss> gray--:  and you also don't have to do a cylinder seek quite as often, so the heads don't move as often.  That gives more speed.
[19:42] <gray--> Zzeiss: yes, and i was agreeing with what you just said, cylinder 0 will be faster than cylinder 15000
[19:42] <lackS> estudiante: See all the messages about DRI errors in the X log?
[19:42] <minche> i'm having troubles with chown command
[19:42] <Cpudan80> embartp: you have the old vim-common
[19:42] <danishjordan> K, done.
[19:42] <jackal> I have intrepid installed on my computer, and during the install I configured an encrypted swap partition with a random key (using the installer).  Everything seemed to work, however, it doesn't appear as though swap is ever getting mounted when the system boots.
[19:42] <embartp> Cpudan80: coz it keep complain about the vim-common :(
[19:42] <Gerinych> how can i get rid of the arrow in the bottom-left corner of Main Menu applet?
[19:42] <kennydude> minche: try using "sudo chown"
[19:42] <minche> when i do ls -l it shows my account as owner, but i still cant delete nor move files :(
[19:42] <lackS> estudiante: These ones: drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
[19:42] <Cpudan80> embartp: did you update your sources
[19:42] <embartp> Cpudan80: no, i am up to date
[19:42] <Cpudan80> danishjordan: now run sudo apt-get update
[19:42] <kennydude> minche: you need to chmod it to let you
[19:42] <Cpudan80> danishjordan: then it should be available
[19:43] <captain_> anyone have a good link for learning how to automount my second harddrive?
[19:43] <danishjordan> k.
[19:43] <minche> huh, i tried sudo chown -R user.group but it stil the same :/
[19:43] <gray--> Zzeiss: i think you may have misunderstood what i was saying originally, but i think we agree :)
[19:43] <lackS> captain_: Put an entry for it into /etc/fstab
[19:43] <kennydude> miche: you'll need to a *chmod* command
[19:43] <lackS> captain_: And make sure that the directory you're mounting to exists
[19:43] <Cpudan80> embartp: if you've done everything I've told you - there is no reason why you can't just sudo apt-get install vim-full
[19:43] <estudiante> lackS, Well, truth I can see that.
[19:43] <Zzeiss> gray--: Yeah.  I think so.  :)
[19:43] <kennydude> miche: somert like 755 will work for it
[19:43] <Cpudan80> embartp: unless you've manually messed up the vim packages
[19:44] <M3TAPHYS1CS> hi guys, over the last few days ive been randonly disconnecting from the net..it appears to be specific applications only such as skype and amsn cause i dont actually really disconect from my network..any ideas?
[19:44] <lackS> estudiante: I think is has something to do with these errors, DRI is one part of the 3D driver
[19:44] <minche> huh?
[19:44] <embartp> Cpudan80: i did follow your step
[19:44] <lackS> M3TAPHYS1CS: Sounds like an installed firewall that's not configured correctly
[19:44] <kennydude> miche: you may need to do "sudo chmod 755 filename"
[19:45] <captain_> lackS, I don't know enough about that stuff to do it without following instructions thats why I am looking for a tutorial or something
[19:45] <embartp> Cpudan80: but it does need the old vim-common, which i dont have
[19:45] <Cpudan80> embartp: why dont you have it?
[19:45] <Zopiac> how to i mount a flash drive under administrator privileges??
[19:45] <lackS> captain_: Ok... I'll see if I can find something
[19:45] <Cpudan80> did you manually download a deb and install it?
[19:45] <estudiante> lackS, What I'm worried about is gdm locked with audio & network missed.
[19:45] <MatBoy> woei !!! 129Mb/s with sataII and mdadm !!
[19:45] <kennydude> Zopiac: sudo mount /dev/sda /media/something (change sda to whatever it is)
[19:46] <embartp> Cpudan80: coz it is already 1:7.1-138+1ubuntu3.1 when i installed 8.04.2
[19:46] <minche> it worked
[19:46] <minche> yey
[19:46] <embartp> Cpudan80: i did not use dist-upgrade to get 8.04.2
[19:46] <Cpudan80> embartp: ..............
[19:46] <minche> thanx :D
[19:46] <lackS> captain_: Try http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html .
[19:46] <embartp> Cpudan80: it was clean install from cd
[19:46] <danishjordan> be right back, restarting, fingers crossed!
[19:46] <lackS> estudiante: What do you mean by "It's locked"? Is it frozen?
[19:47] <estudiante> lackS, frozen, exactly
[19:47] <Cpudan80> embartp: well if you know what version it needs, you can force it
[19:47] <embartp> Cpudan80: how ?
[19:47] <Flannel> embartp: You're having the vim issues?
[19:47] <Cpudan80> embartp: right click vim-common in synaptic, hit properties - hit versions
[19:47] <lackS> estudiante: That's not good... I'm sorry, I don't know enough about ubuntu to really help you further
[19:47] <Cpudan80> embartp: see if it is even available
[19:47] <Flannel> embartp: Yeah, remove vim-tiny and vim-common, remove the CD from your sources, and then reinstaal it.
[19:47] <captain_> lackS, looks good, thank you!
[19:47] <lackS> estudiante: I've come from Slackware
[19:47] <Zopiac> kennydude: how do i tell which one it is under /dev/ ?
[19:47] <Cpudan80> embartp: if it is - close the box - and click vim-common and do package -- force version
[19:47] <estudiante> lackS, I remember using "easycam" that compiled some strange modules into the kernel
[19:48] <lackS> captain_: Np :-)
[19:48] <lackS> estudiante: Ok.... Do you remember the modules' names?
[19:48] <kennydude> Zopiac: if it's the last one you plugged in then try the last one when you run "ls /dev/sd*"
[19:48] <estudiante> lackS, I could scan dpkg logs maybe...
[19:48] <estudiante> lackS, give me a minute
[19:48] <lackS> estudiante: Ok
[19:48] <Flannel> embartp: For some reason the vim version from -proposed was included in the server and alternate CD (but not the Desktop).  So you just have to remove it and reinstall it (from the repos, not the CD)
[19:49] <joseph> bonjour
[19:49] <aleskandro> hi to all
[19:49] <lackS> estudiante: You can show loaded modules with "lsmod" and unload them with "modprobe -r <modulename>"
[19:49] <Flannel> embartp: Also, "vim" is the package you likely want, not "vim-full" (which includes gvim, etc)
[19:49] <M3TAPHYS1CS> lackS afaik i havent installed a firewall
[19:49] <M3TAPHYS1CS> how can i check
[19:49] <aleskandro> I've shared my $HOME and now I've a message box about permission when I do the login
[19:49] <Cpudan80> Flannel: but he wants the colorful vim and such
[19:49] <lackS> M3TAPHYS1CS: Fire up Synaptic, search for iptables and see what is installed
[19:49] <joseph> english used ?
[19:49] <Flannel> Cpudan80: vim is colorful.
[19:49] <estudiante> lackS, well, yes I can. But I guess it's kern that can't load them up at boot :/
[19:49] <Cpudan80> Flannel: hmmmm does it have highlighting and everything?
[19:50] <lackS> estudiante: Ok, but that shouldn't disturb GDM
[19:50] <danishjordan> Well, I can enable Extra Effects in Visual Effects, and now can I put my GFX card back in?
[19:50] <Flannel> Cpudan80: Of course.
[19:50] <lackS> estudiante: Did you try reinstalling GDM itself?
[19:50] <embartp> Flannel: yup, i did use the alternate
[19:50] <kennydude> joseph: try #ubuntu-fr
[19:50] <Cpudan80> Flannel: interesting ...
[19:50] <estudiante> lackS, Can Suceed even without network?
[19:50] <fwaokda> when I'm saving in text editor I can see files like main.cpp~ how can i get these not to show up when I'm saving?
[19:50] <Flannel> embartp: Right.  You need to sudo apt-get remove vim-tiny vim-common && sudo apt-get install vim, after removing the CD from your sources
[19:50] <joseph> how ?
[19:50] <aleskandro> It say that I must set the .dmrc file in 644... I've done it but when I do the login I see also the message
[19:50] <danishjordan> Well, I can enable Extra Effects in Visual Effects, and now can I put my GFX card back in? (It's and NVIDIA 8500 GT)
[19:50] <lackS> estudiante: Repeat that in other words please, I didn't get you
[19:51] <kennydude> joseph: type "/join #ubuntu-fr"
[19:51] <xSlack> Has anyone here ever used graphviz
[19:51] <lackS> estudiante: Well, at least for getting GDM back up, yes
[19:51] <aleskandro> what can I do to ignore this error?
[19:51] <lackS> danishjordan: Fire up synaptic, search for nvidia
[19:51] <danishjordan> How?
[19:51] <lackS> danishjordan: Take the most recent driver (should be 17x oder 180 or something like that)
[19:51] <embartp> Flannel: i just want  to that, but it remove the ubuntu minimal also
[19:51] <TiZ> Hey, guys. What are some good ways to improve boot time? Currently, Windows XP in a virtual machine is several times faster. >_> According to recent bootchart, it takes about 40 seconds to boot
[19:51] <Royall> What application would I use to open a .chm file?
[19:52] <Flannel> embartp: Yeah, it will.  That's only temporary, reinstall ubuntu-minimal afterwards as well.
[19:52] <danishjordan> lackS, how?
[19:52] <estudiante> lackS, When this issue occure kernel boots up no network interfaces . If the package is somewhere in the dpkg archive on hdd, I might try to reinstall. what's the command?
[19:52] <ohhai> Sound input on ASUS W3J somehow doesn't work, even though the output does. Other people on forums claim that input works in their cases. What are the common diagnostics steps here?
[19:52] <embartp> Flannel: is it ok ?
[19:52] <ohhai> (using ALSA driver)
[19:52] <danishjordan> lackS, sudo apt-get synaptic
[19:52] <lackS> danishjordan: Anywhere in the system menu, might be called "Package management" or something similar
[19:52] <danishjordan> ?
[19:53] <embartp> Flannel: i am afraid my ubuntu can't run anymore
[19:53] <lackS> estudiante: dpkg -I packagename afair
[19:53] <Flannel> embartp: Yeah, it's 100% fine.  If you already have the CD removed from your sources, you can do this one command to do it all at once:  sudo apt-get remove vim-tiny vim-common && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-minimal vim
[19:53] <danishjordan> lacks, i got it
[19:53] <guiseppe_montana> ok
[19:53] <danishjordan> now what
[19:53] <lackS> estudiante: Packages are located somewhere in /var. Try a find -iname "*gdm*deb" in /var
[19:53] <redvamp128> Royall:  you could possibly try wine --
[19:53] <lackS> danishjordan: Fine :-)
[19:53] <Flannel> lackS, estudiante: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[19:53] <lackS> Flannel: Thx
[19:53] <danishjordan> lacks, now hwat ;)?
[19:54] <lackS> danishjordan: Search for nvidia, tell what you can choose
[19:54] <estudiante> Flannel, thanks
[19:54] <redvamp128> Royall:  Most common use for .chm is a microsoft help file.
[19:54] <Zopiac> when i try to 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1' (which is my flash drive) it just tells me "mount: can't find /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" how do i mount it with superuser privileges?
[19:54] <danishjordan> nvidia glx 173-dev
[19:54] <danishjordan> nvidia-glx-71-dev
[19:54] <lackS> Zopiac: You have to give it a mount point where it shall mount the device
[19:54] <joseph>  
[19:54] <danishjordan> lackS, what am I looking for
[19:54] <lackS> Zopiac: It should be something like mount /dev/sdb1 /the/place/where/you/want/it/to/be
[19:55] <kennydude> Zopiac: try "sudo mkdir /media/flashdrive; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/flashdrive"
[19:55] <lackS> Zopiac: Make sure the whole mount point exists
[19:55] <Zopiac> ok
[19:55] <joseph> cc
[19:55] <lackS> danishjordan: nvidia
[19:55] <absheiper> ïðèâà
[19:55] <lackS> danishjordan: There should be packages called nvidia-something
[19:55] <danishjordan> lackS, what am I looking for?
[19:55] <danishjordan> There are lots.
[19:55] <lackS> estudiante: Did you find it?
[19:56] <lackS> danishjordan: nvidia-180-something?
[19:56] <danishjordan> Which one do I need.
[19:56] <danishjordan> 177
[19:56] <danishjordan> 177-dev?
[19:56] <lackS> danishjordan: 177 is ok. You don't need the dev package.
[19:56] <danishjordan> nvidia-glx-177?
[19:56] <lackS> danishjordan: Any other options with 177 and without dev?
[19:57] <danishjordan> just plain 'nvidia-glx-177'
[19:57] <redvamp128> Royall:  also have a read at this Microsoft Compiled HTML Help - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Compiled_HTML_Help>
[19:57] <lackS> danishjordan: Ok, then this is the 3D driver for nvidia cards
[19:57] <danishjordan> kk
[19:57] <estudiante> lackS, scanning dpkg log. I've found some easycam entries, but can't the one from the time it compiled those modules
[19:58] <lackS> estudiante: Ok... tell if you've found something
[19:59] <lackS> danishjordan: You have to restart at least X to make it happen. Log out and press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to achieve this.
[19:59] <danishjordan> KK, im gonna put the GFX card in
[19:59] <danishjordan> wish me luck
[19:59] <vallhalla81> hi all i have anew lcd monitor but my system seems to think it a crt so all settings or it are a little off can any help please
[19:59] <c0rpse80> hi
[20:00] <danishjordan> Okay, I restarted.
[20:00] <danishjordan> Now can I slap the GFX card in and give it a try?
[20:00] <lackS> danishjordan: What do you mean by "slapping it in"?
[20:01] <danishjordan> I mean, putting it in, plugging my monitor in, then booting up. :D
[20:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !res
[20:01] <lackS> danishjordan: Is the hardware still outside the case?
[20:01] <danishjordan> Yes.
[20:01] <lackS> danishjordan: Go put it in and give it a try
[20:01] <danishjordan> K.
[20:01] <lackS> danishjordan: Don't forget to shutdown and remove power before ;-)
[20:01] <Bongolian> Hello there. Currently running Xubuntu 8.10. Is there a way in which to modify the menu? I understand it's stored as some XML file but am seeing no "intuitive" way in which to do this
[20:01] <Zopiac> it is just telling me that this flash drive is 'USB Drive' and i cannot access it. i click on it and it does nothing
[20:01] <danishjordan> Oh, def.
[20:01] <danishjordan> Be back in... 5
[20:02] <kennydude> Zopiac: did you mount it?
[20:02] <rinsmaster> Since some recent update my microphone doesn't work anymore, I've tried every possible slider in alsamixer etc :/
[20:02] <Zopiac> it wont mount. just does nothing
[20:02] <kennydude> unplug it and plug it in again
[20:02] <lackS> Bongolian: The apps are sorted by the system, depending on their app.desktop files, which are located in /usr/share/applications
[20:02] <Zopiac> tried
[20:02] <estudiante> lackS, hmm, I'm stucked with find, shame to say
[20:02] <lackS> rinsmaster: Did you unmute your channels?
[20:02] <kennydude> Zopiac: oh right... dunno
[20:03] <djbloc> How can I setup a live CD persistent storage on a USB stick that is encrypted? Using 8.10 at the moment.
[20:03] <rinsmaster> lackS, yea, afaik I've opened up all channels
[20:03] <lackS> estudiante: Try: 'find -iname "*gdm*deb" /var/cache/apt/archives', without _only_ the ''s
[20:03] <lackS> rinsmaster: Did you press tab in alsamixer to go to recording setting?
[20:03] <kennydude> djbloc: doing the live cd thing would override the encryption unless it's device level
[20:03] <rinsmaster> I did get a message about a "asoundconf set-default-card" command after the update, I've executed that commands, but it doesn't seem to do anything
[20:03] <rinsmaster> lackS, yes
[20:04] <lackS> rinsmaster: There you might be able to enable a thing called "Mic Boost" - this is a good idea
[20:04] <rinsmaster> lackS, put that on 100% and unmuted
[20:04] <embartp> Cpudan80, Flannel, thanx
[20:04] <lackS> rinsmaster: Strange thing... any switch on the headset itself to mute the mic?
[20:04] <embartp> i have my vim :)
[20:04] <embartp> and it is colored
[20:04] <rinsmaster> lackS, I've tried several mic's that used to work before, so it's not a hardware prob...
[20:05] <Coolkid>  while running/installing the ubuntu live CD, i got error SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0x9797f error
[20:05] <gg> Hello !
[20:05] <lackS> rinsmaster: Ok so far... You're able to play music or sound?
[20:05] <RyanPrior> Hey there. I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my machine but after a few initialization steps it just dumps me to busybox with no explanation. Can anybody help me figure out what is failing?
[20:05] <M3TAPHYS1CS> lackS: sorry for this but i got disconected again..i found iptables in synaptic and removed it and restarted..
[20:05] <lackS> M3TAPHYS1CS: Ok.... be warned that this might be dangerous though
[20:06] <jcp> Hi everybody!
[20:06] <rinsmaster> lackS, Yes, playback works just fine, as always, As usual pulseaudio hates me, so sometimes things better work when it's not running, and sometimes the other way around, Now i've tried both, and still no sound from my mic :/
[20:06] <lackS> M3TAPHYS1CS: Without iptables, your system is not secured at all!
[20:06] <M3TAPHYS1CS> lackS: in what way
[20:06] <lackS> rinsmaster: Sounds pretty mystic to me :-/
[20:06] <djbloc> kennydude: live cd is copied to usb stick using usb-creator. I note a persistent EXT3 storage file is created in the root dir called "casper-rw". I would like to create a similar file but encrypted.
[20:06] <estudiante> lackS, No gdm there
[20:06] <lackS> M3TAPHYS1CS: iptables is the firewall base of linux, so without it, you're not able to block ports and stuff like that
[20:06] <Coolkid> i want to install ubuntu in an external disk. As with my laptop, am getting SQUAHFS error, is it okay to install ubuntu to my external disk from other Laptop (different model/company), and then use in my laptop?
[20:06] <kennydude> djbloc: why would you want it encrypted?
[20:06] <lackS> estudiante: fsck... that's not good
[20:07] <lackS> estudiante: I've run out of ideas, sorry
[20:07] <estudiante> lackS, it's ok
[20:07] <M3TAPHYS1CS> ah ok i have a hardware firewall so that shouldnt be much of a problem..do you think this will solve the disconeccting problem?
[20:07] <estudiante> lackS, thank you anyway
[20:07] <lackS> M3TAPHYS1CS: Give it a try
[20:07] <lackS> estudiante: np, you're welcome
[20:07] <rinsmaster> lackS, sound has always sucked here on 64bit ubuntu, I usually can't run firefox with flash, and another audio app the same time
[20:07] <M3TAPHYS1CS> lackS: thanks man
[20:07] <danishjordan1> lackS, it worked just fine.
[20:07] <lackS> rinsmaster: Why are you using 64bit? 'cause of your 64bit CPU?
[20:08] <lackS> danishjordan1: Fine :-))
[20:08] <Zopiac> the mounted flash drive is being mounted read-only. the switch on the flash drive itself is set to unlocked; why wont it mount read/write?
[20:08] <jcp> I had installed Ubuntu Hardy on a Acer Aspire laptop and I had some problems to use the bluetooth. i don't know what is the problem. I've had everything that I found on the Forums.
[20:08] <rinsmaster> lackS, Yea, I'll switch to 32 bit on the next version though
[20:08] <kennydude> Zopiac: did you mount it with the command earlier
[20:08] <Zopiac> kennydude: yes
[20:08] <lackS> rinsmaster: I recommend it.... 64bit linux is still too crappy, unfortunately
[20:08] <danishjordan1> and im back
[20:08] <lackS> danishjordan: All right now?
[20:09] <kennydude> well you need to "sudo chmod 777 /media/flashdrive"
[20:09] <estudiante> lackS, BTW it seems the correct syntax is " find  /var/cache/apt/archives/ -iname "*gdm*deb"
[20:09] <estudiante> " the expressions must come after the path
[20:09] <danishjordan> Yeah. I still need to find an XP .iso that will ACTUALLY work. lol
[20:09] <lackS> kennydude: oO 777???
[20:09] <estudiante> lackS, Just wanted you to know
[20:09] <lackS> estudiante: Sorry, you're right...
[20:09] <danishjordan> I can't get torrents to work on Transmission
[20:09] <kennydude> oh well 755 then
[20:09] <lackS> estudiante: Thanks... I'm usually using find in the directory that I want to search directly
[20:09] <estudiante> lackS, Just found out
[20:09] <icqn> Do not you miss this feature? Nautilus extension that allows you to open a terminal in arbitrary local folders https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-open-terminal/+bug/162352
[20:09] <Coolkid> i want to install ubuntu in an external disk. As with my laptop, am getting SQUAHFS error, is it okay to install ubuntu to my external disk from other Laptop (different model/company), and then use in my laptop?
[20:09] <kennydude> Zopiac: you need to "sudo chmod 755 /media/flashdrive"
[20:10] <takamarou> Hi, I just installed a secondary hard drive.  The hard drive is recognized by my BIOS, and shows up in my file browser, but I am having some trouble mounting it.  It says: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply...  anyone know what this error means?
[20:10] <Zopiac> kennydude: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109550/
[20:10] <estudiante> lackS, Well, I myself have problems with te corrrect syntax too :), no worries
[20:10] <lackS> Coolkid: That could cause problems, because laptops are quite exotic and some things get set up laptop-specific
[20:10] <djbloc> kennydude: For security. If I lose it/it gets nicked.
[20:10] <pietro_> can I ask in this channel information about kubuntu?
[20:10] <lackS> estudiante: Ok, so we're same-minded in that ;-)
[20:10] <kennydude> Zopiac: dunno
[20:11] <Zopiac> D:
[20:11] <kennydude> djbloc: just set up a encrypted directory
[20:11] <estudiante> lackS, Ubuntu package fro gdm is just called "gdm" right?
[20:11] <danishjordan> pietro_: ./join #kubuntu
[20:11] <lackS> estudiante: Should be, yes
[20:11] <kennydude> djbloc: and a password on your account!
[20:11] <lackS> estudiante: Hang on, I'll fire up my laptop and take a look
[20:12] <estudiante> lackS, Np, I can look it up on Ubuntu packages site
[20:12] <lackS> estudiante: All right with me :-)
[20:12] <estudiante> lackS, I'm on the working kernel actually :)
[20:12] <lackS> estudiante: You're operating on a working kernel or you're working on the kernel?
[20:13] <eater9> Hi, I'm trying to turn Caps Lock into a modifier key, so I can use Caps-HJKL as arrow keys in X -- is that possible?
[20:13] <estudiante> lackS, operating, too small skills to work on it
[20:13] <kennydude> eater9: very hard but it may be possible
[20:14] <icqn> Zopiac, What is this? an usb stick? for some reason it is mounted in read only mode, i guess...
[20:14] <lackS> estudiante: Ok :-) But what do you want to tell me? We're all operating on a working kernel... if it was not working, we couldn't be operating :-)
[20:14] <estudiante> lackS, BTW, I've got a random question. Know a command to scan all the text files in a dir and grep them out?
[20:14] <lackS> estudiante: Yes, grep
[20:14] <lackS> estudiante: grep SEARCHSTRING *
[20:14] <Zopiac> icqn: yes; i need it moutned in read/write
[20:14] <djbloc> kennydude: Certainly an option but wanted a solution that encrypt the files regardless of where I put them in the directory tree
[20:14] <lackS> estudiante: Or did you mean removing the found lines
[20:14] <estudiante> lackS, Just as I thought, powerful!
[20:15] <soreau> eater9: Look into xmodmap and xev
[20:15] <danishjordan> lackS, can you help me out with finding an .iso of windows XP? I can't get torrents to download right on here.
[20:15] <kennydude> djbloc: you would probarly only put them in you're home directory anyway
[20:15] <lackS> estudiante: :-)
[20:15] <Bax> is there a way I can resume the command line in the terminal after executing a command for a program.  Like say I typed "xmms" in the command line and I want to listen to music while browsing programs through the same terminal.  Do I have to open another tab and leave the other one open till I'm done with xmms?
[20:15] <icqn> Zopiac, is it new? was it working before?
[20:15] <marcel> how can i instal ubuntu linux - now i have kubuntu linux on my machine ??
[20:15] <lackS> danishjordan: Sorry, I don't support illegal stuff. Go buy a Windows if you want one.
[20:15] <kennydude> djbloc: otherwise there is no other way
[20:15] <Tekumel> Bax: Open another tab in the terminal window?
[20:15] <danishjordan> lackS, I have a CD key, I just need an install CD
[20:15] <eater9> kennydude: I've tried playing around with xmodmap but I can't seem to get what I want -- is that perhaps not the right approach, you think?
[20:15] <Zopiac> icqn: not sure if ive had it working on linux before, but windows, yes, i believe
[20:16] <soreau> Bax: Append '&disown' to the command
[20:16] <lackS> estudiante: Read the manpage of grep, it's got a lot of useful options like ignoring case, searching subdirectories, inverse grepping (show everything that does _not_ match) and more
[20:16] <takamarou> Hi.  I just installed a secondary HD, and I'm getting a DBus error .org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply error when I try and mount it.  any ideas on how to fi this?
[20:16] <lackS> danishjordan: Are you a student or something like that?
[20:16] <estudiante> lackS, I was trying to say that my old Ubuntu kernel boots just fine, it's the 2.6.27.9 that starts the locked gdm without audio & network
[20:16] <danishjordan> Yes, why..
[20:16] <kennydude> eater9: if you've got a laptop use the FN key and things otherwise you're at no luck
[20:16] <lackS> estudiante: Oook.... Bad guy found :-)
[20:17] <marcel> how can i instal ubuntu linux - now i have kubuntu linux....
[20:17] <kennydude> marcel: you could try downloading ubuntu and installing over
[20:17] <lackS> danishjordan: Go look if your school/university takes part in MSDNAA (MS developer network / academic alliance)
[20:17] <Zopiac> marcel: what do you mean?
[20:17] <fosco_> marcel: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[20:17] <danishjordan> lackS: yes I am a student. Why?
[20:17] <lackS> danishjordan: If it does, you should be able to download and install it legally and for free
[20:18] <Bax> soreau: close enough, thanks!
[20:18] <lackS> estudiante: Which version is the old one?
[20:18] <estudiante> lackS, :) . Well, it's sort of getting us closer to refine the problem source. If one kernell just fires up ok, and another not, might that be a package or and invalid, corrupted module? Am I clear in that?
[20:18] <danishjordan> lackS: Sorry, I'm a sophomore in High School ;)
[20:18] <marcel> i don't know step 4 - partionaingthx
[20:18] <lackS> danishjordan: Ok :-)
[20:18] <lackS> danishjordan: In this case, I can't help you
[20:18] <estudiante> 2.6.24.22 is the old one, 2.6.27.9 the newest (affected)
[20:18] <lackS> danishjordan: Just because I don't know where to get this thing
[20:18] <icqn> Zopiac, what does the command "mount | grep media" tell you how your usb-drive is mounted?
[20:19] <danishjordan> lackS: That's okay. I'll figure something out
[20:19] <lackS> estudiante: Do you need the newer kernel for a specific reason ?
[20:19] <estudiante> lackS, 2.6.24.22 is the old one, 2.6.27.9 the newest (affected)
[20:19] <kennydude> marcel: you just let it go automatically if you've got you're data backed up of kubuntu or do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" in a terminal
[20:19] <w33d5> is there a way to see which    PROG    are      LISTENING           on which          PORTS
[20:19] <user___> w33d5: netstat
[20:19] <lackS> w33d5: nmap
[20:19] <estudiante> lackS, Just installed itself by default when Ubuntu upgraded to 8.10 from 7.10
[20:19] <Zopiac> icqn: hold on, i switched flash drives...THIS one is just appearing as 'USB Drive' :(
[20:19] <nickrud> w33d5, sudo netstat -tlnp
[20:19] <lackS> estudiante: :-/ Not good
[20:19] <estudiante> lackS, why?
[20:19] <w33d5> danke all
[20:19] <danishjordan> lackS: Is it possible to boot from a USB stick?
[20:20] <lackS> estudiante: If not, just use the old one and that's it
[20:20] <lackS> danishjordan: Yes. Need some time and effort to fiddle it up and a BIOS that supports it, but it's possible
[20:20] <Cpudan80> estudiante: you can't upgrade directly from 7.10 --> 8.10
[20:20] <danishjordan> lackS: I guess I'll stick to the whole "Boot from CD" idea. ;)
[20:20] <Zopiac> icqn:/dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type vfat (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush)
[20:20] <lackS> danishjordan: Boot linux from CD?
[20:21] <djbloc> kennydude: thx for the advice.
[20:21] <Cpudan80> estudiante: did you go through 8.04 first?
[20:21] <icqn> Zopiac, ro does mean read only
[20:21] <estudiante> lackS, Well, that's something I can always do, but resolving the issue will be more fun :)=
[20:21] <danishjordan> lackS: No I'm going to install XP then install ubuntu so I can dual boot.
[20:21] <Cpudan80> you could go up to 8.04 from some of the older versions ...
[20:21] <Zopiac> icqn: ok?
[20:21] <lackS> estudiante: I wish I had your amount of free time :-)
[20:21] <icqn> Zopiac, here is a howto howto mount it the way you want https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB
[20:21] <lackS> estudiante: If you really want to learn something, go get Slackware and install/configure it
[20:21] <icqn> Zopiac, enjoy :-P
[20:21] <hef> I used the alternate install disk to do an installation with full disk encryption.  I believe that gets handled in the initramfs.  Is it possible to tweak the initramfs build?
[20:21] <estudiante> Cpudan80, yeah, right, just realized i got wrong, sorry. It's 8.04 of course
[20:21] <lackS> estudiante: Die-hard in the beginning, but gold-worthy for know linux internals
[20:21] <hef> I want toadd another disk
[20:21] <danishjordan> lackS: I'm going to get on my laptop. I will be right back.
[20:22] <Cpudan80> estudiante: ok - sounds better :-)
[20:22] <lackS> dandel: That's the right order to do it :-)
[20:22] <lackS> dandel: Sorry, wrong person
[20:22] <bobbyyg> I'm a newbie to Ubuntu - where do the programs go when I minimize them as there
[20:22] <estudiante> lackS, Maybe, one day
[20:22] <lackS> bobbyyg: There's a panel at the bottom of your screen
[20:22] <estudiante> lackS, I've always wanted to really learn something
[20:23] <danishjordan1> And I'm back
[20:23] <lackS> estudiante: Go play with slack. I've used it for two years as main system, it was my first linux, and I've learned a whole lot from it
[20:23] <bobbyyg> Thats the problem there's no panel at the bottom anymore.  It was there. How do I restore it
[20:23] <Zopiac> icqn: even following those directions to get it read/write it tells me: mount: block device /dev/sdb1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[20:23] <lackS> estudiante: Don't expect it to be easy, don't expect it to do everything with automagic, but once set up, it will just plain work -- and that's worth it
[20:24] <estudiante> lackS, hmm
[20:24] <lackS> estudiante: Guess why I chose this nickname ;-)
[20:24] <estudiante> lackS, hehe
[20:24] <estudiante> lackS, I have to go
[20:24] <uncategorized> is it possible to "run" a .desktop file from the shell? how?
[20:24] <lackS> danishjordan1: wb
[20:24] <danishjordan1> lackS: Thanks
[20:24] <lackS> estudiante: np, have a nice evening (or whatever time you have now)
[20:24] <estudiante> lackS, thank you for your help
[20:24] <baz> what are the numbers "0 0 " at the end of my fstab line for? Is this where i adjust the perms to 7777 or whatever will get me proper read/write access on the mount?
[20:24] <lackS> estudiante: np, you're welcome :-)
[20:24] <estudiante> lackS, evening
[20:25] <lackS> estudiante: Europeß
[20:25] <estudiante> lackS, BTW, where are you from?
[20:25] <lackS> estudiante: *?
[20:25] <lackS> estudiante: Germany, currently Aachen (that's next to the Netherlands and Belgium)
[20:25] <estudiante> lackS, How long have you been playing with Linux?
[20:25] <lackS> estudiante: I'm living there, but I grew up in a rural area not too far away from Aachen
[20:25] <uncategorized> essentially, i want to launch a shortcut on the desktop from the command line?
[20:25] <miranda_psi> baz: not sure what they are for, but to set the permissions you use the option umask
[20:26] <Guest49250> my wlan interfaces dissapear.. in 2 laptos i have...
[20:26] <lackS> estudiante: since 2003, I'm using it as my main operating system
[20:26] <Guest49250> any idea what can be causing it?
[20:26] <estudiante> lackS, started with Slack?
[20:26] <lackS> estudiante: Yep :-)
[20:26] <Guest49250> im completetly clueless
[20:26] <lackS> estudiante: Slack 9.0-10.2, Zenwalk, Frugalware (still now)
[20:26] <baz> miranda_psi, umask eh, can u give me an example
[20:26] <estudiante> Guest49250, Same here :)
[20:26] <danishjordan1> This is my second day with linux and its beast.
[20:27] <baz> miranda_psi, i want to make the drive readable/writable without limitations
[20:27] <lackS> danishjordan1: Linux has no beast -- it just doesn't treat its users like idiots ;-)
[20:27] <kusanagi__> and do you have any guess estudiante ?
[20:27] <ubuntumediaguy> I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 on a new Toshiba laptop. I cant get the wireless to work. Anyone have a hint... I'm new at Linux.
[20:27] <danishjordan1> True. ;)
[20:27] <estudiante> lackS, I'll think it up to try out Slack
[20:27] <baz> miranda_psi, right now if i create a folder there is a little lock icon and i cant copy things into it
[20:27] <lackS> estudiante: It was just a guess. Do whatever you like :-)
[20:27] <estudiante> !wireless >kusanagi
[20:27] <estudiante> !wireless >kusanagi_
[20:28] <danishjordan1> Maybe I'll use vista. It's not that bad. I just need a windows OS for the next 10 weeks
[20:28] <estudiante> !wireless > kusanagi_
[20:28] <lackS> danishjordan1: Use whatever you like -- it's /your/ choic
[20:28] <lackS> danishjordan1: +e
[20:28] <bobbyyg> lackS, there is no tray at the bottom, that's the problem, how do I restore it
[20:28] <lackS> bobbyyg: You're using gnome?
[20:28] <danishjordan1> lackS: it's nie to have an unbiased opinion for once ;)
[20:29] <miranda_psi> baz: as one of the options you can put umask=0000 and that should make it read/writeable by everyone (also make sure that folder you mount to has the right permissions)
[20:29] <AdaMi> I am trying to get a hawking HWU54G usb wirelss to work. anyone able to help?
[20:29] <estudiante> lackS, bye
[20:29] <bobbyyg> Lacks, I'm using Ubuntu but I had a problem with an Nvidia card, removed it and installed ATI and I think that's when it went away
[20:30] <lackS> danishjordan1: Oh, thanks. I don't want to force people into using linux. I want to force people into using what fits them best. If it's Microsoft, go for it.
[20:30] <lackS> bobbyyg: Not quite necessarily
[20:30] <danishjordan1> lackS: For me It's dual boot.
[20:30] <lackS> bobbyyg: Please ask to the others, I don't know how to restore this bar on gnome. Sorry :_(
[20:30] <kusanagi__> estudiante what are you trying to tell me? :)
[20:31] <lackS> danishjordan1: Me too... Frugalware (exotic distro) and XP, but I'm firing up XP every five or six weeks only
[20:31] <lackS> danishjordan1: My antivirus software is always screaming at me if I start it up :-)
[20:31] <bobbyyg> What happened to the tray at the bottom of my screen.....it's gone
[20:31] <lackS> estudiante: See you!
[20:32] <estudiante> kusanagi__, That sth swallowed up my net devices :)
[20:32] <miranda_psi> bobbyyg: what tray?
[20:32] <zash_> bobbyyg: only the bottom?
[20:32] <danishjordan1> lackS: I'm gonna keep ubuntu on this laptop, and dual boot XP or vista and ubuntu on my desktop
[20:32] <bobbyyg> miranda-psi, the one where programs go when they are minimized
[20:32] <kusanagi__> estudiante, and did get something so far?
[20:32] <kusanagi__> any guess may helps me
[20:33] <kusanagi__> coz im completely clueless
[20:33] <lackS> danishjordan1: Ok, good setup. I'm also using Ubuntu on my laptop, it just fits it quite well
[20:33] <estudiante> kusanagi__, not really, check some logs etc
[20:33] <miranda_psi> bobbyyg: just right click on the top bar and click add panel
[20:33] <kusanagi__> estudiante, any particular log? coz i checked a few and i found anything :S
[20:33] <lackS> Ok guys, I'll go bashing my lungs with some smoke. brb
[20:34] <danishjordan1> lackS: This laptop has never started up so fast, I'm not gonna lie. When it had XP on it, the people using it were inexperienced. I swear it was on a botnet. Also, is there a way to see what hardware is on the laptop? Like a ubuntu version of belarc advisor? whats the terminal command?
[20:34] <danishjordan1> I remember it put out a .txt file.
[20:35] <lackS> danishjordan1: Go look up these things: command lspci, files /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/meminfo
[20:35] <lackS> danishjordan1: I'll go smoking, brb
[20:35] <danishjordan1> k.
[20:35] <bobbyyg> miranda-psi, I just opened Rhythum box and gave it a minimize command and the bottom panel is blank
[20:35] <miranda_psi> danishjordan: try lspci
[20:35] <cellofellow> danishjordan1: listing hardware you can do lspci, lsusb, lshw, and the proc files.
[20:36] <jsfoxton> hi ppl, I'm getting an IOPL error when running excel in wine. Can anyone help. I've already tried winehq
[20:36] <baz> whats the command to UNmount?
[20:37] <Jargon> to unmount: umount
[20:37] <baz> ah
[20:37] <jp_sf> baz: umount
[20:37] <miranda_psi> bobbyyg: right click on the bottom panel and go add to panel, scroll through the options until you find window list and that should do th etrick
[20:37] <giggsey> I'm trying the 9.04 alpha, and the livecd fails to boot with error "SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block ..., size ffad" - Any ideas?
[20:38] <jp_sf> jsfoxton: is it IOPL not enable ?
[20:38] <LLStarks> why i am being told that there's no space left on my device when i have 130 GB of free space and a single partition aside from swap?
[20:38] <jsfoxton> jp_sf: yep...thats the one!
[20:38] <redvamp128> jsfoxton:  have you tried this page-- and used winetricks?WineHQ - Excel 2007 <http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&amp;iId=12812>
[20:38] <nicolas_> #ubuntu-fr
[20:39] <bobbyyg> miranda_psi, That did it! THANKS!
[20:39] <miranda_psi> bobbyg: no problem.  Enjoy :)
[20:39] <jp_sf> jsfoxton: I had it and if I remember correctly I fixed it by running winecfg
[20:39] <ardchoille> giggsey: /join #ubuntu+1
[20:40] <jxander> in bash i store a line of text containing tabs in a variable, but when i echo that variable, the text is displayed without the tabs. any ideas how i could store tabs in bash variables?
[20:40] <jp_sf> jsfoxton: I don't remember exactly try : http://www.google.com/search?q=IOPL+not+enable+winecfg&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a
[20:40] <WebGuest> jxander have you tried \t ?
[20:40] <ardchoille> jxander: I thought tabs were "text here\t\t" for two tabs
[20:41] <jsfoxton> already changed gdiplus but still wont start
[20:41] <jsfoxton> what are winetricks?
[20:42] <jsfoxton> is it a comand?
[20:42] <jsfoxton> command?
[20:42] <redvamp128> jsfoxton:  winetricks are how you would get the native gdi plus
[20:42] <WebGuest> Any distro I use has a horribly slow connection. And I'm at an apartment. Could the network have been set up to slow down linux systems somehow?
[20:42] <ercle> My computer is really playing up, with just about every program not working as it should. Amsn is giving bug reports, opening random conversations etc, firefox has lost my bookmarks, changed homepage, forgotten passwords, Transmission wont download anything and myth tv wont even start. A simple restart hasn't worked, and i dont have the slightest clue what has gone wrong. My main concern is backing up my mythtv settings incase i need to
[20:42] <ercle>  reinstall. i attempted "mysqldump -umythtv -ppassword mythtvconverg > mythtvbackup.sql" but that returned "mysqldump: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) when trying to connect"
[20:42] <WebGuest> Because when I go anywhere else it's fine
[20:42] <redvamp128> jsfoxton:  winetricks - The Official Wine Wiki <http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks>
[20:42] <jxander> i'm getting a line of text from xorg.conf that has tabs using grep... how could i keep the tabs even after i store it in a variable?
[20:42] <redvamp128> !winetricks
[20:42] <td123> WebGuest: I doubt it
[20:42] <jsfoxton> in winecfg libaries gdiplus set to native is already done
[20:43] <jp_sf> jsfoxton: no my problem was with gdiplus.dll
[20:43] <jp_sf> jsfoxton: sorry then
[20:43] <redvamp128> jsfoxton:  the reason for that is because until you use winetricks you don't have the native gdiplus
[20:43] <ensosux> Ubuntu!
[20:43] <WebGuest> Thing is internet is fine in windows, and in linux it's fine anywhere except for at my apartment
[20:43] <ardchoille> jxander: man bash says that tabs are "\t"
[20:44] <jp_sf> jsfoxton: try #winehq

[20:54] <jxander> ardchoille: i got that... this is what i do: test1=`cat xorg.conf | grep 'LeftOf'` ,then echo $test1 says "# Screen "aticonfig-Screen[0]-1" LeftOf "Default Screen"" instead of "#	Screen         "aticonfig-Screen[0]-1" LeftOf "Default Screen"" ... i later use sed with these so i need it to be the same :(... any ideas?
[20:54] <jxander> ardchoille: the second one has tabs at start...
[20:54] <ensosux> reconfigure your X using gaempad
[20:55] <ensosux> =D
[20:55] <ardchoille> jxander: Oh, you're using cat to pull in info from another file. Sorry, I thought you were writing your own code. I don't know how to do it with cat :(
[20:56] <jxander> ardchoille: well... thanks anyway :)... i basically want to comment a line and later uncomment it... any ideas on that?
[20:56] <ensosux> #
[20:57] <ardchoille> jxander: you can comment a line inline and make a backup at the same time:  sed -i.backup 's/original text/replaced text/g'
[20:58] <ardchoille> jxander: sed is nice and powerful; man sed
[20:58] <kusanagi__> my wlan0 just dissapeared... and now i have one eth1... and the best thing is... its connected via wireless... does anybody know why is this happening?

[20:58] <ensosux> who needs help with easy problem?
[20:58] <jxander> ardchoille: yeah, that's what i was doing... except i don't know how to put a whole line from xorg.conf as original text in the substitution part of sed :(
[20:58] <ardchoille> jxander: also you'll need sudo with that since the file is a system file

[21:00] <moosticks> argh
[21:00] <flodin> is there any sftp server that lets me publish a directory on my system for others to access?

[21:00] <kusanagi__> coz nobody is here to help you just you...
[21:00] <ensosux> VSFTPD: jail anon users to a specific dir
[21:00] <kusanagi__> but just a wonering...
[21:00] <kusanagi__> wondering*
[21:00] <ensosux> i use it on my ubuntu server
[21:01] <Blackbird_> I need help with screen resolution using the open source driver (Radeon RV250)
[21:01] <kusanagi__> keep trying maybe you have some luck
[21:01] <moosticks> I get that, I just don't see how people can keep their explanations straight with this amount of people in one room
[21:01] <cdenny> i need help accessing my printer on a vista computer
[21:01] <michazoet> someone here who knows how to configure a serial touchscreen device under Ubuntu 8.10 with Xorg?
[21:01] <kusanagi__> moosticks, that why we use te names of the ppl...
[21:01] <flodin> ensosux: i saw some references to that on google, but nowhere on the home page does it say that it supports sftp... does it?
[21:02] <kusanagi__> moosticks, most irc clients change the color if its addressed to yo
[21:02] <jxander> ardchoille: any idea on how to put actual lines greped from xorg.conf in sed's substitution terms?
[21:02] <w33d5> cdenny: are you using samba??
[21:02] <cdenny> w33d5 i dont know
[21:02] <moosticks> uh huh, I realise that, too - it's just annoying with this amount of people coming and going
[21:02] <moosticks> but  thanks for your help, I'll go elsewhere
[21:02] <cdenny> w33d5: how can i find out
[21:02] <kusanagi__> moosticks, and moreover, you can quit the joins and parts ,uncluttering the screen :)
[21:03] <moosticks> that messes with other rooms I use on irc, though ;)
[21:03] <Ultraputz> how can you set non-focused window transparency in metacity ?
[21:03] <kusanagi__> look in the options of the channel in whatever client you are using
[21:03] <kusanagi__> you can apply to just one room
[21:03] <kusanagi__> in most channels
[21:03] <moosticks> orly
[21:03] <kusanagi__> ye
[21:03] <ensosux> FireFTP uses sftp
[21:03] <kusanagi__> in most clients*
[21:03] <moosticks> hmm
[21:03] <flodin> ensosux: that's a client, not a server
[21:03] <cdenny> w33d5: i tried using cups but that didnt work
[21:04] <ensosux> o crap
[21:04] <w33d5> cdenny: run sudo netstat -tlnp  and see if you see "smbd"
[21:04] <cdenny> w33d5 it came up twice
[21:04] <w33d5> cdenny i actually use webmin to config samba, etc.. on my server box
[21:05] <sdf>  How i can enable my second Xeon 550 Processor in 6.06 ?, I think i need a SMP kernel ? kindly Help me
[21:05] <w33d5> cdenny: I would guess its already running
[21:05] <w33d5> cdde
[21:05] <luke_> help!  I run Vista on my desktop, yesterday I created a  partition and played arround with Ubuntu on it.  Then I formatted that partition, and now when I reboot it says GRUB loading, error 22
[21:05] <cdenny> w33d5 state = "listen"
[21:06] <w33d5> cdenny:  take a look at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#Printers
[21:06] <smiley_> luke_: you'll have to repair the Windows installation
[21:06] <Mechdave> sdf, you need a smp kernel, you may have to compile your own, or upgrade to 8.10 which has a smp kernel standard
[21:06] <ensosux> you could use sftp
[21:06] <luke_> smiley_, So run Vista, ,choose the repair option?
[21:07] <ensosux> yes
[21:07] <smiley_> luke_: you've formatted the partition with the boot files on it, so you Grub doesnt know what to do. Yes, run Vista, choose repair.
[21:07] <w33d5> cdenny: you will also need to enable printer and file sharing on the xp machine
[21:07] <Blackbird_> Anybody for the screen res question?
[21:07] <danishjordan> can you use virtualmachine on ubuntu?
[21:07] <w33d5> cdenny: right click on your xp machine on the printer and look for sharing then follow the next->next menus
[21:07] <sdf> Mechdave : 6.06 donot support SMP on i368 system ?
[21:07] <ensosux> An SFTP client called sftp is available in OpenSSH suite that ships with most Linux systems.-linux.com
[21:07] <mrglinux> ubuntu 8.10 is the worst ubuntu that i see don't agree? it has many bugs and...
[21:07] <amelcic> hi
[21:07] <cdenny> w33d5 i enable sharing for unix services already, and the printer is being shared
[21:08] <danishjordan> Is there a virtual machine program for ubuntu?
[21:08] <ensosux> yes
[21:08] <sdf> mrglinux : I agree u , But 6.06 is better and mostly bug hase been fixed
[21:08] <amelcic> q
[21:08] <luke_> smiley_, What about if I run XP repair, will that do it?
[21:08] <mrglinux> sdf yes 8.04 was very good
[21:08] <ensosux> danishjordan: Virtualbox OSE is in the repositorys
[21:08] <danishjordan> Where?
[21:09] <Mechdave> sdf, yes it does but I don't know if Ubuntu still do a pre rolled smp kernel
[21:09] <sdf> mrglinux : Do you have any idea why my second Xeon server is shown Disables in lshw ?
[21:09] <danishjordan> ensosux: Where?
[21:09] <cdenny> cdenny: but after that i dont know what to do
[21:09] <picca> when i tried the release candidate for 8.10 i noticed that the panels were shaded and blended well with the wallpaper ... is it possible to do that with ubuntu 8.10, as it appears plain grey on mine
[21:09] <smiley_> luke_: XP repair will only work if you want to install XP. If youw ant to keep Vista, you must use the Vista repair option
[21:09] <Slart> picca: you can set transparency for panels
[21:09] <w33d5> cdenny: two good sites to search i use all the time howtogeek.com and ubuntugeek.com
[21:09] <danishjordan> ensoSux: Where is this at?
[21:09] <ensosux> danishjordan- if you want to install it, its
[21:09] <mrglinux> sdf no idea
[21:09] <ensosux> sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[21:10] <danishjordan> kk
[21:10] <sdf> Mrglinux : unfrtunately 8.10 installer donot run on my system , it is not supported
[21:10] <picca> ah thanks Slart
[21:10] <jrattner> Question:  Does anyone know where to find a Thunderbird package with SSL enabled?
[21:10] <mrglinux> sdf i installed but everything crashed awful
[21:10] <nobodies> Hi, I have a question regarding virtualbox
[21:10] <cdenny> w33d5  i just realized it had a password protection on, so i will retry cups
[21:10] <ensosux> sure
[21:10] <Husaini> sure
[21:10] <Mechdave>  nobodies just ask dude
[21:11] <\Kira> whats the package called for compiz settings manager?
[21:11] <\Kira> ccsm isnt working
[21:11] <Slart> !ccsm | \Kira
[21:11] <w33d5> cdenny: i think file sharing and printer sharing on xp has passwds on by default so that makes sense
[21:11] <\Kira> thanks
[21:11] <nobodies> I have Intrepid Ibex and want to install a windows xp. I never tried virtual box. Does it supports USB 2 devices on the guest os?
[21:11] <paulo39> hi, one friend of mine shut down his X by entering sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, now he cant do anything in command line and ctrl+alt+backspace and ctrl+alt+f7 didn't do anything
[21:11] <ensosux> nobodies: yes, you can mount USB drives
[21:11] <paulo39> do you can help me?
[21:12] <Slart> nobodies: the OSE version doesn't support usb.. you'll have to get the closed source one
[21:12] <smiley_> paulo39: Alt + F2
[21:12] <ensosux> really?
[21:12] <smiley_> paulo39: login, and type   sudo shutdown -r now
[21:12] <Mechdave> paulo39, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[21:12] <Guest93150> j'aimerais pouvoir relier la connection internet de mon iPhone et de mon HTC à mon ordi en les reliant via le terminal
[21:12] <Slart> !fr | Guest93150
[21:12] <Guest93150> sorry
[21:12] <nobodies> Slart: What do you mean by closed source? is it free?
[21:12] <paulo39> Mechdave, he cant write:S
[21:13] <Blackbird_> I'm running 8.04 with the open source radeon/ati driver (Radeon RV250) I can't change the resolution from 640x480. It says Xserver doesnt support the XRandR extension
[21:13] <Slart> nobodies: they have an open source version... and a closed sourced version.. it's free as in beer only
[21:13] <Mechdave> paulo39, will the ctrl + alt + f2 work?
[21:13] <magaio> Should I be expecting a complete bog-down when opening a 70MB text file from a LUKS partition? All 4GB of RAM and 1GB of swap is used when opening the file. Waiting 6 minutes, file didn't open.
[21:13] <paulo39> yes!
[21:13] <paulo39> he's saying me yes
[21:13] <Slart> nobodies: I mean both are free as in beer
[21:13] <nobodies> Slart: that sounds good to me! I wanted considering vmWare
[21:13] <sdf> Is there any SMP kernel patch for 6.06 on i386 ?
[21:14] <nobodies> Slart: thanks dude
[21:14] <Slart> nobodies: you're welcome
[21:14] <Mechdave> paulo39, ctrl+alt+f2 log in as user then type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

[21:14] <sdf> thanx slart
[21:14] <Husaini> lol i forgot my password on here
[21:14] <Flare183> cdenny: ???
[21:14] <nobodies> Slart: what happend?
[21:15] <Jausenbrot> is anybody using firestarte here?
[21:15] <cdenny> w33d5: i get connection failed NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
[21:15] <Slart> nobodies: I told the bot to tell you about kernels when it was sdf asking the question..
[21:15] <ortsvorsteher> !anybody | Jausenbrot
[21:15] <Mechdave> paulo39, if that doesnt work, try sudo reboot
[21:15] <Jausenbrot> xD funny bot^
[21:15] <nobodies> Slart: thats ok
[21:15] <w33d5> cdenny: make sure your xp firewall is allowing connections to the printer
[21:16] <Jausenbrot> hmm, got problems with firestarter
[21:16] <paulo39> i'm waiting for his response
[21:16] <sdf> slart : The above url is down or not valid :/
[21:16] <Jausenbrot> somehow the icmp filtering doesn't work :(
[21:16] <jrattner> Question: Does Evolution come with SSL enabled?
[21:16] <Slart> sdf: works for me
[21:16] <Jausenbrot> filters everything out altouth i allowed some of the options
[21:16] <paulo39> Mechdave, it seems the problem is solved :) until now... very thank you

[21:25] <n8tuser> [OBACRON] -> you need to re-install grub
[21:25] <s0101> it started with ubuntu 8.04 after i had my screen disconected for 2 months when i put i back on it worked perfekt until i canceled a system update due to slow internet when i restarted it said that it could only run with low graph
[21:26] <gerber> i have ubuntu 8.10 and window xp , i want to crea a network with this 2 os ,no idea what to do pls help ?
[21:26] <|Stargazer|> Slart: yes, i have a /home partition and would like to replace /home with the /home partition.
[21:26] <[OBACRON]> n8 how do i do that
[21:26] <jp_sf> M3TAPHYS1CS: you are far from your Access point ?
[21:26] <bascht> Is there some cool split-view filemanager for gnome? besides gnome-commander...?
[21:26] <[OBACRON]> ive run grub-install
[21:26] <s0101> a guy here told me how to update nividia and i did but it wasnt perfece so i updated to 8.10 and now i am back with the same prob again
[21:26] <[OBACRON]> but i keep getting a 494 error
[21:26] <cdenny> w33d5 SWEET!
[21:26] <jp_sf> M3TAPHYS1CS: could be your access point
[21:26] <M3TAPHYS1CS> no
[21:27] <lyk3n> s0101: just a guess but I think you kill your xorg
[21:27] <s0101> maybe i should reinstall 8.10
[21:27] <jp_sf> M3TAPHYS1CS: how are you reconnected ? do you get reconnected do you do something ?
[21:27] <n8tuser> [OBACRON] -> how many disk and partitions do you have? dual booting? where did youinstall grub? ie which partition?
[21:27] <w33d5> is this syntax right ?  to search within the text of files for instances of "ushare"        sudo zegrep "ushare" *
[21:27] <gerber> i have ubuntu 8.10 and window xp , i want to crea a network with this 2 os ,no idea what to do pls help ?
[21:27] <s0101> what is xorg and is there a way to fix it?
[21:27] <scunizi> s0101, how did you do the nvidia update?
[21:27] <n8tuser> !who | M3TAPHYS1CS
[21:27] <n8tuser> !ics | gerber
[21:27] <s0101> some program in the i used from the konsole
[21:28] <M3TAPHYS1CS> 90% and on windows this never happened
[21:28] <M3TAPHYS1CS> im not being disconeccted from the router..
[21:28] <jp_sf> M3TAPHYS1CS: how are you reconnected ? do you get reconnected do you do something ?
[21:28] <lyk3n> s0101: I am an amatuer, but I know xorg is the graphical part of your ubuntu install. someone helped me compile my xorg once after I removed a graphics card and the video worked after that
[21:28] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, you don't have an airport extreme do you?
[21:28] <M3TAPHYS1CS> jp_sf i dont get disconected from the router but i cant access the internet such as browsing ff or skype or irc..
[21:28] <break19> this is odd.. ubuntu installer just.. freezing up.. disc passes the cd check.. passes a memory check.. freezes in both graphic, and text mode.
[21:28] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi: no its netgear
[21:29] <foxjazz> what's the diff between gnome and kde (ubuntu and fedora)?
[21:29] <s0101> i checked everything it is activated after 8.10 install but my highest res is only 640*480 (4:3)
[21:29] <jp_sf> M3TAPHYS1CS: so you can still ping the router right on your Linux session ?
[21:29] <n8tuser> foxjazz -> you can google for an answer to that.
[21:29] <cdenny> w33d5: i tried using it dynamically with the computer name, so i tried the ip address and its working now
[21:29] <calc> anyone know how to regex match except on an item, eg i want to not match if the string has a @ in it
[21:29] <s0101> it also says screen unknown
[21:29] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, sounds like my old netgear.. same symptoms.. flaky functionality.. ended up getting a linksys..
[21:29] <rww> foxjazz: GNOME and KDE are different desktop environments. They contain different programs, and have different looks. Ubuntu and Fedora are different distributions, supported by different people. Ubuntu and Fedora both distribute GNOME and KDE.
[21:30] <break19> it's freezing during filecopy.. but not always at the same file... but always around the same percentage...
[21:30] <n8tuser> calc am rusty but somewhere in [^]  you put the unwanted ones
[21:30] <maxbaldwin> Is there a way to make "ls" display the full path on each item?
[21:30] <M3TAPHYS1CS> jp_sf im not sure but im sure i still am connected
[21:30] <Slart> |Stargazer|: you're still not being clear.. right now you have a separate partition that isn't used and you have a home folder on your root partition that is being used as /home. Do you want /home to point to the external partition discard the data that is in the home folder on the root partitin(option 1)? do you want /home to point to the folder on the root partition but contain the data from the external partition(option 2)? do you want /home to point to the
[21:30] <n8tuser> maxbaldwin -> proly there is, man ls please
[21:31] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi: would the flaky functionality not also effect windows pc?
[21:31] <jp_sf> M3TAPHYS1CS: ok, so how do you "get reconnected" again do you do something special ?
[21:31] <sdf> ubuntu 8.10 installer get hang with just moving bar on my system , My system is Dell 550 Xe0n Dual with 1.5 GB of RAM
[21:31] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, in my case it did..
[21:31] <cdenny> w33d5: thanks for the help
[21:31] <rww> n8tuser: If you don't feel like supporting users, please consider saying nothing, rather than telling them to google their problems.
[21:31] <cdenny> w33d5: now, how do i set a static ip address to my computer?
[21:31] <M3TAPHYS1CS> jp_sf i just wait it out, usually a few minutes and programs start signing in again such as skype and irc
[21:32] <DG19075> is running a belkin wireless router and netgear wg311v3... works fine
[21:32] <breakfastmonkey> anyone know what could be wrong if my wireless keeps prompting for a WEP? Using Madwifi with Atheros AR5007?
[21:32] <n8tuser> rww if you constantly hand held users, when will the learn to fetch and solve the problems themselves?
[21:32] <s0101> maybe 8.04 is better
[21:32] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, have you checked for a conflicting IP?
[21:32] <M3TAPHYS1CS> jp_sf on my network monitor tho it switches between idle and transmitting every second constantly
[21:32] <n8tuser> rww there are times when some have to be told to use google to get good info
[21:33] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi. no i havent how can i check that within Ubuntu
[21:33] <jimi_hendrix> hi...can someone help me setup a printer in ubuntu?
[21:33] <sdf> WHY ubuntu 8.10 installer get hang with just moving bar on my system , My system is Dell 550 Xe0n Dual with 1.5 GB of RAM ?, help me
[21:33] <cdenny> w33d5: i know how to access the router, but it says static route, not static ip
[21:33] <jp_sf> M3TAPHYS1CS: hum I agree with scunizi I think it is your router the problem, if I were you I would check that you don't have an option on your router that states "connection on demand" if you could put it at always on, looks like your router is dropping if it gets too quiet
[21:33] <cdenny> w33d5: it also doesnt have an area for the mac address
[21:33] <gg> Hello ! Does anybody who speaks english have 3 minutes for me ?
[21:33] <n8tuser> sdf -> you waited long enuff?
[21:33] <jimi_hendrix> i would give more info but im kinda lost with it...im on hardy
[21:33] <jp_sf> !ask | gg
[21:33] <oCean_> !printer | jimi_hendrix
[21:34] <rww> n8tuser: Then go find the info for them, and tell them how you got it. This is a support channel, not a read-the-manpages-and-google channel.
[21:34] <sdf> n8tuser: yeah, i thing there is no answer for me
[21:34] <oCean_> gg: just shoot and see if someone know the answer
[21:34] <n8tuser> rww to each his own
[21:34] <rww> n8tuser: This discussion has come up before, by the way. I'm just repeating general consensus.
[21:34] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, right mouse click the wireless connect icon up by the clock and choose information.  Also is your router a dsl router?
[21:34] <Slart> sdf: have you tried doing the noapic, nolapic, noacpi stuff?
[21:34] <n8tuser> rww you do your thing i do mine
[21:34] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi, everything is fine there and yes its dsl
[21:35] <n8tuser> sdf happens once or all the time when you tried again?
[21:35] <sdf> Slart: it got ther pointr, Can you tell me what u talking about ?
[21:35] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, dsl is typically setup to "dial" into the connection.. is that dialer on the win pc or done in the router?
[21:35] <break19> I have installed ubuntu 8.10 on the same pc before, and it went smooth as silk before.... now, however, it's not... only things that have changed since then is, a new keyboard (usb, vs ps2) and mouse (usb vs usb)
[21:35] <jp_sf> scunizi: good point
[21:35] <Faduda> I cannot get Ubuntu 8.10 to see my brother's wireless network. Works fine at home, and Windows XP can see both networks, any idea where I should begin?
[21:35] <break19> oh, and a new dvdrw
[21:36] <flodin> what is the best option if i want to share files on my system with others, without exposing the whole file system?
[21:36] <M3TAPHYS1CS> the dialer is within the router scunizi
[21:36] <breakfastmonkey> Anyone have any suggestions / experience working with ATHEROS MADWIFI? I am detecting networks but can't connect to them. CARD - ATHEROS AR5007 on UBUNTU 8.10
[21:36] <cdenny> jimi_hendrix: http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtosambaprint.html thats what I used
[21:36] <scunizi> jp_sf, that's one reason I don't like dsl is because of that wacky dialer..
[21:36] <n8tuser> Faduda -> which wifi chip does your wifi nic have?  sudo lshw -C network
[21:36] <jp_sf> Faduda: I like to use wifi-rada you can find it in synaptic
[21:36] <jp_sf> Faduda: I like to use wifi-radar you can find it in synaptic
[21:37] <Faduda> n8tuser intel pro wireless 3945ABG [Golan]
[21:37] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, you should check for that switch jp_sf mentioned something about "persistance"
[21:37] <n8tuser> flodin -> can you clarify what you meant by share?  users have read/write priviledges to your files?
[21:37] <jp_sf> breakfastmonkey: I haven't used madwifi in a while but seeing networks and not be able to join them is quite common to the drivers not being properly loaded in the Kernel
[21:38] <Slart> sdf: it's.. ehm.. well.. short version.. many computers reuqire you to boot with certain functions disabled (since the motherboard/bios manufacturers don't follow standards and only test their systems with windows).. those are the most common ones people try when the system does bad things.. acpi is ... something with advanced power management interface I think.. the others I don't remember what they are about
[21:38] <fosco_> hi, i've lost my gnome preferences, not sure what i've done, but i can not set any theme
[21:38] <w33d5> is this syntax right ? to search within the text of files for instances of "ushare" sudo zegrep "ushare" *
[21:38] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, you got a link to an online manual for your router?
[21:38] <flodin> n8tuser: yes, or write privileges to parts of the directory structure
[21:38] <breakfastmonkey> jp_sf any ideas on how to do that? or links you may know of?
[21:38] <n8tuser> Faduda -> try  sudo dhclient wlan0  or ath0 whatever the name of your nic is
[21:39] <jp_sf> breakfastmonkey: I would start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi
[21:39] <Slart> sdf left? I wrote all that for nothing? my poor poor fingers..
[21:39] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, or a model number?
[21:39] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi i had a look and cant find the option idle timeout i did see however and it was set to 0
[21:39] <Wolv3> how to fix spash on intrepid?
[21:39] <jimi_hendrix> thanks cdavis
[21:39] <n8tuser> flodin -> there are different ways, samba, nfs, sftp ... are they users of your system? or just grabs the files?
[21:39] <jimi_hendrix> cdenny i ment
[21:39] <jp_sf> Slart: no I read it, no no you are not alone
[21:39] <idrissmrabti> Hello Every One, I've just installed Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro the problem is that I can ping Web site But i cant get to them in Firefox
[21:40] <idrissmrabti> Also I cant Install new Packaage
[21:40] <M3TAPHYS1CS> Netgear DG834G is the model of router Scunizi
[21:40] <idrissmrabti> Is There any solution
[21:40] <idrissmrabti> It's very Weird
[21:40] <jsfoxton> hi ppl...i'm trying to run excel in wine. I had a IOPL error but thats been fixed. Now it just frezzes with the excel logo in the centre of the screen. Any help???
[21:40] <Faduda> n8tuser did that, got a whole lot of scrolling screen ending with 'No working leases in persistent database - sleeping'
[21:40] <flodin> n8tuser: i only want them to have access to files, not a shell on the machine. And i'd prefer for it to have high performance and be secure. I've already looked at sftp but there's apparently no way to not expose the whole system or building lots of dummy dirs for a chroot
[21:41] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, which version.. v?
[21:41] <Slart> jp_sf: ehm.. you're sdf? or you just found the information .... informative?
[21:41] <n8tuser> idrissmrabti -> if you can post your  ifconfig; iwconfig;  route -n ;  cat /etc/network/interfaces;  cat /etc/resolv.conf   lets see what we can glimpse from it
[21:41] <aresnick_> Is there a command line version of synaptics "Generate package download script?"  I'd like to generate that nightly, automatically, for backup.
[21:41] <Wolv3> how to fix spash on intrepid?
[21:41] <jp_sf> Slart: I found the information very informative... no really
[21:41] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi its a Wireless ADSL Firewall Router
[21:41] <Slart> Wolv3: tell us how it's broken?
[21:41] <Slart> jp_sf: ah.. ok.. happy someone got something out of it =)
[21:41] <n8tuser> flodin -> the harder part is for them to write, reading a file is easier with tools like apache or web servers
[21:41] <idrissmrabti> I'm on MAC OS
[21:41] <idrissmrabti> now
[21:42] <n8tuser> Faduda -> wireless?
[21:42] <Faduda> yes n8tuser trying to connect to wireless network
[21:42] <idrissmrabti> Yes I use Wifi
[21:42] <luke_> I just plugged a printer into my computer, how do I get the drivers for it?
[21:42] <oCean_> !splash | Wolv3
[21:42] <idrissmrabti> Help Please
[21:42] <n8tuser> Faduda -> is the box also connected to same router via ethernet?
[21:42] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, on netgears site for the DG834G there are several versions.. DG834G and DG834Gv2-5
[21:42] <hannes__> me too
[21:42] <Faduda> n8tuser no, dont have access to ethernet at the mo
[21:42] <jsfoxton> any help guys with excel?
[21:43] <Wolv3> i do all that but he still on TEXT mode
[21:43] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, if there is no "v<number>" then it's version 1
[21:43] <flodin> n8tuser: indeed. I find it odd that in this day and age, there's no such simple thing as a secure file server protocol
[21:43] <n8tuser> Faduda  -> if you can post your  ifconfig; iwconfig;  route -n ;  cat /etc/network/interfaces;  cat /etc/resolv.conf   lets see what we can glimpse from it
[21:43] <Slart> luke_: first, before you spend time trying to diagnose things.. take a look at linuxprinting.org and see if anyone else has gotten it to work
[21:43] <Faduda> but can connect to wireless using winxp
[21:43] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi, theres no v
[21:43] <idrissmrabti> Any Help Please
[21:43] <flodin> n8tuser: one that has actual implementations, that is
[21:43] <n8tuser> flodin -> there are, its just you have to do some work
[21:43] <n8tuser> idrissmrabti -> if you can post your  ifconfig; iwconfig;  route -n ;  cat /etc/network/interfaces;  cat /etc/resolv.conf   lets see what we can glimpse from it
[21:43] <Slart> luke_: that site also lists problems, workarounds and what drivers you might want to use with the printer
[21:43] <Faduda> n8tuser im using a win box to write this
[21:44] <flodin> n8tuser: what do you propose?
[21:44] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, ok.  that means it's version 1.. can you log into the router control and see what version of the rom you have installed currently?
[21:44] <n8tuser> Faduda -> then find accomodations, either copy it line by line or get a usb drive to transfer it over to post
[21:44] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi from within the router i accessed the documentation i think its V5, heres the link http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/DG834G.asp
[21:44] <n8tuser> flodin -> for just the users to see? apache or tomcat is more than enuff
[21:44] <flodin> n8tuser: i want write access too
[21:44] <n8tuser> floding to write, proftp  server
[21:45] <SteveHill> Can anyone suggest why I can get sound on 6.10 running videos and mp3s, but it doesn't run while watching Youtube via Firefox?

[21:45] <mrglinux> i have problem in gnome (ubunu 8.10) when i open a program like gedit before open every thing on page (such as button ,texts and ..) hide abou 1 or 2 seccond after that open .. it is very bad problem for me
[21:45] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi i will check the version now under the router
[21:45] <SteveHill> 6.10==8.10 Ubuntu
[21:45] <jeniboy> hallo und ich bin newbe
[21:45] <Faduda> n8tuser do i paste the results here?
[21:45] <mrglinux> anybody has this problem ?
[21:45] <n8tuser> !pastebin | Faduda
[21:45] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi: its v2
[21:45] <Wolv3> ubottu, gnomesplash no give options, just close
[21:45] <oCean_> !de | jeniboy
[21:45] <Wolv3> oCean_, yes
[21:46] <Slart> SteveHill: because flash is evil in so many ways.. =) there was some fix for flash and sound going around in a previous version.. not sure if that helps any more..
[21:46] <Faduda> thanks n8tuser
[21:46] <jeniboy> ich liebe euch - i love everion
[21:46] <Wolv3> Slart, yes when i star i just see text
[21:46] <n8tuser> Faduda -> get it pasted and lets see what we can find and hopefully assist you
[21:46] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, ok.. so version 2.. now check what version rom is currently installed.
[21:46] <Slart> SteveHill: have you tried reinstalling flash? do you use pulseaudio? alsa?
[21:46] <flodin> n8tuser: you mean with SSL encryption then, i suppose
[21:46] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi, how?
[21:46] <jeniboy> wo kann ich ein thema finden??
[21:47] <n8tuser> flodin -> yes, proftpd uses ssl or openssh somewhere in the pipeline i believe
[21:47] <oCean_> !de > jeniboy
[21:47] <jpds> !de | jeniboy
[21:47] <Slart> Wolv3: hmm.. not really sure how to fix that.. read the links that ubottu sent you.. that's about all the help I can give you, sorry
[21:47] <jeniboy> ubuntu de?
[21:47] <jeniboy> danke
[21:47] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, usually you have to log into your router (something like 192.168.1.1) and then there should be a section for upgrading the rom.. maybe the first page you see will have the rom version listed someplace.
[21:47] <falstaff_> hello
[21:48] <flodin> n8tuser: there is no server that uses openssh, unfortunately
[21:48] <flodin> n8tuser: apart from openssh itself
[21:48] <SteveHill> slart: How do I know which system I am using?
[21:48] <Wolv3> ubottu, can u send me that link Slart talkin about u send me
[21:48] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi yes im inside the router but cant see that rom..i do see router upgrade but i cant see what version
[21:48] <n8tuser> flodin -> i dont know the internals of proftpd , perhaps google for it
[21:48] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi, infact its V2.10.22
[21:49] <Slart> !splash | Wolv3
[21:49] <Slart> !gnome-splashscreen-manager | Wolv3
[21:49] <flodin> n8tuser: ok thanks, i will try with ftp over ssl
[21:49] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, k .. are you in the us or in europe someplace?
[21:49] <Slart> !info gnome-splashscreen-manager | Wolv3
[21:49] <M3TAPHYS1CS> Ireland
[21:49] <homeskillet> any idea why my gnome terminal wont launch anymore, this started happening after i changed my hostname
[21:49] <n8tuser> flodin not ftp over ssl, look into tools like proftpd
[21:49] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi, ireland
[21:49] <Slart> Wolv3: install that package.. "sudo apt-get install gnome-splashscreen-manager" and try using that to change things
[21:49] <Szadek> hello all , i've been trying to play tomb raider underworld on ubuntu , but , when i start a game , the gAME crash , someone know a fix for this ??
[21:50] <Slart> Szadek: are you using wine?
[21:50] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, if you go here.. http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/DG834Gv2.asp you
[21:50] <Wolv3> Slart, ty
[21:50] <breakfastmonkey> thanks everyone!
[21:50] <Szadek> yes
[21:50] <flodin> n8tuser: proftpd uses ftp over ssl
[21:50] <Slart> Szadek: have you checked the application database?
[21:50] <Slart> !appdb | Szadek
[21:50] <Wolv3> Slart, i install it and when i choose the teme he quit himself
[21:50] <Szadek> it has the last patch also
[21:50] <n8tuser> flodin okay, there are more alternatives, just google for them
[21:50] <homeskillet> how can i log in to a virtual console in ubuntu but still keep gnome running and get back to it?
[21:50] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, you'll see the different rom's available. you should probably upgrade.. might fix some of your issue
[21:50] <Slart> Wolv3: well.. as I said.. I don't know much about the splash screen so I can't really help you
[21:51] <Szadek> ohh i'll check it out , forgot that , but the last time i checked it gave no instructions at all
[21:51] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, I say ROM but they call them firmware images.
[21:51] <Wolv3> Slart, ok man ty
[21:51] <M3TAPHYS1CS> scunizi ill upgrade the firmware, yeah thats what i thought you meant by rom heh
[21:51] <Slart> Szadek: you could try asking in #winehq too.. that's the official wine support channel
[21:51] <Slart> Wolv3: you're welcome
[21:51] <luke_> This openprinting.org is hard for me to understand... It doesnt have my printer listed
[21:51] <n8tuser> homecable -> use of screen, you  may have to install screen,  man screen
[21:52] <flodin> n8tuser: yes, but the only encrypted alternative is ftp over ssl
[21:52] <Szadek> slart i will try it , thanks for the help =)
[21:52] <vivid> hello, im running Hardy, and my swap partition got reformatted by a separate installation.  Now when i boot, my usplash drops back into text mode.  I know this is related to the UUID of the swap partition and i was wondering how to fix it.
[21:52] <scunizi> M3TAPHYS1CS, I don't know what the difference is between the 3.01.xx versions.. not sure why there's a UK version and a Germ/Aus version unless it's the language
[21:52] <SteveHill> Slart: I ran ps to determine that I THINK I am running pulseaudio.
[21:53] <n8tuser> scunizi -> some countries allow for like 14 channels, in us its 11 max
[21:53] <oCean_> homeskillet: I'm not sure what it is you want. You can open a terminal from Applications > Accessoiries. Or use <ctrl><alt><f1> to get to an non-X terminal.. <ctr><alt><f7> to get back at gnome
[21:53] <Slart> SteveHill: what does it say in system, preferences, sound? auto? pulseaudio? or alsa?
[21:53] <Huene`> how do I troubleshoot a sound problem on ubuntu? how does Alsa relate to Pulse? are they reliant on one another? I know Pulse can be disabled? can pulse function without alsa, is there an IDIOT"S GUIDE TO SOUND?
[21:53] <homeskillet> ocean yeah thats exactly it thanks
[21:53] <scunizi> n8tuser, true.. but there's actually what looks like 4 versions .. each with different numbers.
[21:53] <jp_sf> n8tuser: Europe it
[21:53] <jp_sf> n8tuser: Europe it 's 13
[21:53] <jp_sf> n8tuser: Europe it 's 13 and Japan is the only in 14
[21:54] <Madsy> Anyone knows if there is a .fdi file available for the XBox 360 wireless controller? Intrepid went over to using HAL for everything, so joysticks don't work anymore. They are treated as mice by HAL.
[21:54] <Wolv3> Slart, can u help me with this
[21:54] <oCean_> !uuid | vivid
[21:54] <n8tuser> jp_sf -> thanks for the info, i cant remember which is which
[21:54] <moviebox> Hi - Running Ibex 8,10 Trying to access another Ibex computer on same network. Have a folder shared on the other one that will not mount or let me into - Any idea's ? ?
[21:54] <Wolv3> Slart, he say some solution but i dont uderstand it http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-969239.html
[21:54] <Slart> Wolv3: I'll take a look
[21:54] <scunizi> n8tuser, jp_sf I see 2 for UK, 1 for Germany & Austria, and one for Outside UK & NA then a bunch that have no label.
[21:55] <vivid> oCean_:  my question would rather be, can i remove references to UUID from the system entirely so i dont have to deal with this issue every time i install an unstable system on my backup drive which is quite often
[21:55] <n8tuser> scunizi -> i honestly dont know why, homolegation for each country is different back then, dont know about it now-adays.. imagine bringing a 2400 baud modem from one to another back then.. <wink>
[21:55] <Slart> Wolv3: I don't think that is the cause of your problem..
[21:55] <Huene`> nobody: no it's a simple configuration, 1 sound device that's a headset, the speakers work the microphone does not
[21:56] <Faduda> n8tuser re unable to connect to wireless network see http://paste.ubuntu.com/109574/
[21:56] <rww> vivid: You can just use /dev/sdXN notation instead of UUID's, yes.
[21:56] <gordonjcp> scunizi: in the UK you are allowed more channels and more power on wifi
[21:56] <Wolv3> Slart, why?
[21:56] <jp_sf> scunizi: I honestly would suggest to go to the netgear forums (http://forum1.netgear.com/index.php)
[21:56] <moviebox> Have problem trying to access a shared folder on another ubuntu box - not sure if doing this right ?
[21:57] <vivid> rww: okay, i removed the UUID's from menu.lst, fstab, and the resume files and replaced them with the the actual device name (/dev/sdb2), however when i boot my usplash drops into text mode
[21:57] <Huene`> nobody: well it would just help if I knew how the systems related to one another so I knew which one I needed to configure
[21:57] <scunizi> n8tuser, 2400 baud!! wow.. that would have been screaming in my day :).. I bought one of the first metal cased Hayes 300 baud modems that came out.. $425 us.. ouch.. but I was happy :)
[21:57] <n8tuser> Faduda -> on your nm or what ever network manager tool you are using, take out   roaming and modify your  /etc/network/interfaces with an entry for your wlan0
[21:57] <s0101> screen resolution help plz
[21:57] <gordonjcp> scunizi: not that I care much, because I can use any set of wifi channels I like and up to 10W output
[21:57] <SteveHill> Slart: It appears to be a mixture of pulseaudio and Conexant.
[21:57] <Huene`> nobody: the utilities to do it would be nice too but I don't even know where to look right now
[21:57] <disco_lemonade> ga
[21:57] <scunizi> jp_sf, not for me but for M3TAPHYS1CS
[21:57] <n8tuser> Faduda -> man interfaces or man iwconfig to see how the entry should look like
[21:57] <scunizi> gordonjcp, where are you at?
[21:57] <rww> vivid: I don't use usplash, so I wouldn't know how to help with that. Does Ubuntu still boot up? Just without usplash?
[21:57] <s0101> desktop is bigger thn my screen i have tried all the easy options plz help i have 8.10
[21:57] <scunizi> gordonjcp, or you just hacked the box.. ?
[21:57] <disco_lemonade> anybody here think Ibex is hella buggy?
[21:57] <jp_sf> scunizi: I know
[21:57] <gordonjcp> scunizi: UK, Scotland to be exact
[21:58] <Slart> Wolv3: not sure really.. but the last post indicates that fixing it doesn't make the problem go away
[21:58] <Slart> SteveHill: ok.. let me guess.. the last line is conexant, right?
[21:58] <moviebox> Can't access a shared folder - help ?
[21:58] <n8tuser> scunizi -> yeah, but you got the idea, some countries have different rules, so maybe drivers for diff countries are different
[21:58] <gordonjcp> scunizi: hint - the ISM band where wifi lives falls right in the middle of the 13cm amateur radio allocation ;-)
[21:58] <oarion7> s0101 how close are you sitting?
[21:58] <scunizi> gordonjcp, then you're a distant brother of sorts..
[21:58] <vivid> rww: yes, it starts usplash, but drops back to text and boots normally, i guess im just picky about things looking buggy
[21:59] <gordonjcp> scunizi: qrz?
[21:59] <scunizi> gordonjcp, ah.. we don't have 13cm amateur here in the us..
[21:59] <jp_sf> scunizi, n8tuser: my first modem was download at 1200 bauds and uplink at 75
[21:59] <s0101> i have been strugeling all day with this
[21:59] <Faduda> n8tuser i have no idea what that means
[21:59] <Wolv3> Slart, ok i keep searching
[21:59] <moviebox> Networking problems - help ?
[21:59] <scunizi> gordonjcp, 73's to that
[21:59] <oarion7> s0101, so is it something that has happened since install or just happened all of the sudden?
[21:59] <gordonjcp> scunizi: actually just checking, it doesn't look like Foundation licences have it either. Oh well, I'll need to wait until next month and then I get 40W ;-)
[21:59] <jp_sf> !ask | moviebox
[21:59] <vivid> rww: i know i can fix the issue if i put the UUID entries back into fstab and resume, however since i removed them, sudo blkid gives no UUID

[22:00] <croddy> i have an apple extended keyboard ii connected via an ADB/USB adapter. there are two keys on my keyboard that i'd like to use, but they don't appear to send anything to xev. where should i look for information on how to configure the extra keys?
[22:00] <oarion7> juanman, i think u might want tto look into he app "moto4lin" depending on your attentions with the phone.
[22:01] <gordonjcp> croddy: which keys?
[22:01] <croddy> gordonjcp, the power button and the extra "=" on the numpad
[22:01] <oarion7> s0101, so is the screen res low and thats it, or did you say you actually cannot see parts of the screen ?
[22:01] <s0101> after a guy from here told me how to update nividia driver i updated and now i am back with the same problem nividia is of course activated
[22:01] <scunizi> gordonjcp, do you do satelite work?
[22:01] <Jesin> Hello?
[22:01] <Wolv3> Slart, i know what u tell me but this error is nothing?
[22:01] <gordonjcp> scunizi: I do, a bit
[22:01] <Wolv3> Slart,  ext3    relatime,error
[22:02] <s0101> i cant se parts of the screen
[22:02] <gordonjcp> scunizi: we should take this to -ot
[22:02] <oarion7> cancelling an update should be fine it will usually pick up or tell you that an update is broken and that it needs to repair, no biggy
[22:02] <scunizi> gordonjcp, yep
[22:02] <gordonjcp> croddy: I'm not sure the power button even sends a "normal" keycode
[22:02] <scunizi> \j #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:02] <oarion7> hmm
[22:02] <s0101> i also tried auto adjust on the screen
[22:02] <moviebox> Will make this question as clear as possible - I'am having problem accessing a shared folder on another computer - can some help with my problem?
[22:02] <jp_sf> s0101: what is the model of the nvidia you have what are the result of dmesg | grep NVRM
[22:03] <s0101>  640*480 is my highest res and it says screen unknown
[22:03] <mustangg> hello. I would like to know if eclipse cdt (c/c++ not java) is in the repos, or must I install manually from the website.
[22:03] <SteveHill> Slart: I'm going to reboot, and hope that the sound gets reset to "usual" ... I buggered it up somehow.  (Unless you know how to reset to "standard" or default.)
[22:03] <jp_sf> moviebox: there is an excellent tutorial here https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/internet/C/networking-shares.html
[22:03] <Slart> Wolv3: huh? I don't understand.. what is that?
[22:03] <jp_sf> s0101: what is the model of the nvidia you have what are the result of dmesg | grep NVRM
[22:03] <Faduda> n8tuser i know you think that answer means something, but im an end user, not a geek. can you assume for a moment that im a total idiot and try again :)
[22:03] <anTiX> anybody know of a label printer which works on ubuntu8.10?
[22:03] <Slart> SteveHill: not really.. a reboot is probably the easiest way
[22:04] <Jesin> I noticed that the most recent Python 3 packages in the repositories are still 3.0rc1, even though the stable release came out at the beginning of December.  What, if anything, could I do about that?
[22:04] <elmnas> hi how do I install a .patch file?
[22:04] <Wolv3> whet i type cat /etc/fstab -> i got that date on sda2
[22:04] <moviebox> jp_sf; Thank you much - new to networking with linux - very easy with windows that I'm trying to leave behind.
[22:04] <Wolv3> Slart, whet i type cat /etc/fstab -> i got that info on sda2
[22:04] <s0101> http://pastebin.com/m6c2d3acf
[22:05] <Slart> elmnas: read the man page for "patch" .. I think that's the command you use
[22:05] <vivid> s0101:   18.035046] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module  173.14.12  Thu Jul 17 18:11:36 PDT 2008
[22:05] <elmnas> ok
[22:06] <s0101> ?
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> !patch
[22:07] <jp_sf> s0101: would be shorter if you had piped the grep NVRAM but thx vivid to higlight it and now what is your card model ?
[22:07] <Slart> Wolv3: that's not an error.. it's part of the settings for that partition.. the error option configures what to do if the drive fails to mount, I think.. it can be stuff like "remount it as read only" or other options.. I think it's listed in the man-page for "mount"
[22:07] <s0101> geforce 6100
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> jp_sf: could use grep -i ;) makes it easier
[22:08] <s0101> driver version 173.14.12
[22:08] <o_portista17> hello, i need some help here, i'm getting an error while trying to update or opening synaptic, because of the hwtest-gtk
[22:08] <Wolv3> Slart, ok man sry im newbie
[22:08] <o_portista17> i can't even remove it
[22:08] <Huene`> nobody: thank you you've been a great help as usual
[22:09] <Slart> Wolv3: no worries.. asking questions is good.. it's the only way to learn
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> o_portista17: can you provide a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update
[22:09] <Faduda> n8tuser any further suggestions?
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> !paste | o_portista17
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> o_portista17: make sure you have synaptic closed
[22:10] <croddy> gordonjcp, okay, showkey doesn't seem to be receiving anything either. i guess i should assume those keys just won't work for me in linux? (not a huge loss)
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> croddy: if they generate events in xev they are ok
[22:10] <gordonjcp> croddy: I'm not sure how showkey works, but I suspect that for the power key at least it may send something really peculiar
[22:10] <o_portista17> on, sudo apt-get update, i have no error at all
[22:10] <vivid> does anyone know if theres a netinstall iso available for jaunty?
[22:11] <o_portista17> the problem is if i try to update the packages that are ready for updating
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> o_portista17: ok, then can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update
[22:11] <Slart> !minimal | vivid
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> !jaunty | vivid
[22:11] <kvh> When I use my kvm, the mouse button order is reset back to right-hand (although the prefs still has left-hand); any idea how to fix?   Any suggestion where to even look?
[22:11] <Wolv3> Slart, true - agree
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> kvh: you may have to rmmod then modprobe the mouse module to get it redetected
[22:12] <cocontmi> how do i automount hdd in kde? gnome/xfce sessions works fine
[22:12] <Faduda> guess not
[22:12] <n8tuser> Faduda -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=112526
[22:13] <Faduda> n8tuser thanks, much appreciated
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> cocontmi: plug it in, its there. Is it not in the left hand panel of dolphin?
[22:13] <o_portista17> now, i have this http://paste.ubuntu.com/109579/
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> o_portista17: you are using jaunty
[22:13] <o_portista17> but i while ago, it performed the update, just fine
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> !jaunty | o_portista17
[22:14] <o_portista17> ok
[22:14] <cocontmi> ActionParsnip: it is a internal hd and a partition of my hd...
[22:14] <cocontmi> it does not show up...
[22:14] <danes_> anyone knows how can I install ubuntu and other linux distros in a usb drive, and have grub in it?
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> cocontmi: then you should have an entry for it in /etc/fstab
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> !usb | danes_
[22:15] <cocontmi> how do i go about this ActionParsnip?
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> cocontmi: run: sudo fdisk -l
[22:15] <n8tuser> Faduda -> two lines to add to that interfaces file...  iface wlan0 inet dhcp; auto wlan0
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> cocontmi: then open /etc/fstab
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> cocontmi: you will see some of the partitions are not mounted
[22:16] <danes_> ActionParsnip, yes, but is it possible to add other distributions in the same usb and have a menu to select the distributions?
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> cocontmi: you will need to add lines to the fstab file (use sudo / gksudo to edit it) so the partitions are mounted at bootup
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> danes_: totally, its just like any other storage system
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> !fstab | cocontmi
[22:17] <n8tuser> danes_ -> for usb  i believe the boot loader is  syslinux
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> cocontmi: if the partitions are ntfs formatted you will need ntfs3g
[22:17] <danes_> ActionParsnip, by any chance do you know how can I do it?
[22:17] <n8tuser> danes_ -> so you may have to modify the syslinux.cfg and its supporting files
[22:17] <danes_> n8tuser, do you know how can I modify syslinux to add other images?
[22:18] <cocontmi> ok... thanks alot ActionParsnip and ubotto for the link... i believe i can take it from here
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> danes_: just follow the usual usb install method but then change the install method (but use similar steps) for the other OS, you will have to update the menu.list to be able to boot the other system
[22:18] <dano__D> hi guys, can someone please help me, I have a broadcom 43xx and I have downloaded the .patch but how do I install it?
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> danes_: ive not done a usb install of a dual boot system but id imagine its something like tat
[22:19] <n8tuser> danes_ -> not off hand, you have to google for how to modify syslinux and or bootloaders
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> !patch | dano__D
[22:19] <cocontmi> it looks like fstab is editable in konqueror... kde 4 comes with new surprises...
[22:19] <danes_> also, I have a eeepc, and yesterday I lend my computer to a friend. When I turned it on today, I got this error: GRUB loading, please wait... error 21. How can I fix it?
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> cocontmi: fstab is Linux version independant, its the same for all linuxes
[22:20] <danes_> I definitively need a live usb to fix it since the computer does not have a cdrom drive
[22:20] <kvh> ActionParsnip: The mouse is detected, just not that the button order should be left (as it is in the perfs)
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> cocontmi: bang some lines in there and it will be mounted at bootup
[22:20] <luke_> Man this sucks, I dont have my vista disk right now, so I cant fix the GRUB error 25 on my desktop
[22:20] <cocontmi> i know... i don't think nautilus or firefox can do the same thing...
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> luke_: if you can boot to linux, add an entry to /boot/grub/menu.list  to boot the vista
[22:21] <R00tMANiAC> .connect
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> cocontmi: no as they are file and web browsers...not much to do with file mounts
[22:21] <cocontmi> no they can't they just display it
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> kvh: left as in left handed?
[22:22] <luke_> ActionParsnip, What do you mean "add an entry" there
[22:22] <kvh> ActionParsnip: Yes, button order is left in prefs
[22:22] <coorek> hi all
[22:22] <elmnas> hii can someone help me I downloaded a broadcam 43xx driver patch , its  a name .patch but how do I install it?
[22:23] <coventry> I just took an "apt-get upgrade" which upgraded my kernel.  When I reboot, the system halts after fsck reports that sdb1 is clean.  I waited five minutes, then started fiddling.  Control-Alt-Delete got the boot process going again.  I have since done three reboots, and verified that it halts at this point, Control-Alt-Delete restarts the process. In addition, on one reboot, when I cd to the mountpoint for sdb1, I initially found it's
[22:23] <coventry> empty, and df did not report the mountpoint.  When I tried to mount it, it said it's already mounted, df reports it as mounted, and the expected files are there.  On another of the reboots, it was unmounted at first, but the explicit mount command worked.  Is Control-Alt-Delete pushing some process which leads to the mounting of sdb1 into the background, somehow?
[22:23] <ArrPirate> Hi. I'm trying to get gedit to compile a program using make. When I do that it says 'export DEVKITARM=<path to>devkitARM' but if I start gedit in the terminal it compiles fine. I think it's because the vars are different from console and desktop. How can I fix this?
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> luke_: well grub is a bootloader that can boot many systems. If you can succesfully boot linux but not vista, add an entry to the options to boot vista
[22:23] <PB_G3> I can't seem to get ubuntu running on my PB G3 lombard (the CD pulls up busybox at initramfs).
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> luke_: if nothing boots and you have your live linux cd, yuo can fix grub with this:
[22:23] <luke_> ActionParsnip, I'm a noob, it's going to take a step 1,2,3, thing for me :p
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> !grub | luke_
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> luke_: you're gonna get yur hands dirty dude
[22:24] <luke_> ActionParsnip, I don't have Ubuntu installed though, I deleted it.  I can do the live boot though
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> PB_G3: did you md5 check the iso as well as verify the cd at first boot
[22:25] <Sundar> newbie here.i wanted to debootstrap a jaunty armel.i created a stage 1 image in a new partition  debootstrap --verbose --foreign --arch armel --variant=buildd jaunty $LFS http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports. when i do stage 2:  chroot $LFS /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stageI   error :chroot: cannot run command `/debootstrap/debootstrap': Exec format error . help please.
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> luke_: if you dont have linux installed then the live cd wont help, you could create a small boot partition to use to help launch windows
[22:25] <Faduda> n8tuser edited as suggested now what?
[22:25] <baz> hey i mounted my NAS share but to delete files and such I have to sudo... I would like to not have to sudo... any ideas?
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> !jaunty | Sundar
[22:25] <PB_G3> ActionParsnip: I d/l it from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/7.10/release/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-powerpc.iso
[22:25] <ArrPirate> wait
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> PB_G3: doesnt matter, did you md5 check it?
[22:25] <PB_G3> one se
[22:25] <ArrPirate> like's problem is that he uninstalled windows and wants his MBR to point back at windows?
[22:25] <PB_G3> i mean one sec
[22:25] <ArrPirate> luke's, not like's
[22:26] <luke_> ActionParsnip, So should I install linux on the partition that I deleted it from?
[22:26] <Sundar> ubottu: thank you.
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> PB_G3: doesnt matter how or where you got it, if the md5 check fails its a bad image which will make a bad cd
[22:26] <ArrPirate> luke_ Your problem is that you want your computer to boot to windows after uninstalling linux?
[22:26] <luke_> ArrPirate, No, I had Vista, then partitioned and installed Linux, then deleted Linux and formatted the partition, now am getting Grub error 22 when I try to boot
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> luke_: i think ArrPirate has some gold for you
[22:27] <PB_G3> i dont see md5's on the server
[22:27] <n8tuser> Faduda -> sudo dhclient wlan0
[22:27] <luke_> ArrPirate, so sort of yes and no
[22:27] <ArrPirate> luke_ You need to go into vist'a recovery mode probably using a disc of some sort (I know how to do this for XP) and there's a command like fixmbr
[22:27] <ArrPirate> this will overwrite grub and it'll justb e a plain jane Windows install again
[22:28] <PB_G3> ActionParsnip: i cant find md5s
[22:28] <ArrPirate> again, never done this with Vista. I've done it with XP
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> PB_G3: http://www.worldwide-database.org/cgi-bin/list_files.cgi?md5
[22:28] <luke_> ArrPirate, thats what action said, but I was trying to ddo it without the vista disk since I dont have it right now
[22:28] <baz> i dont think i phrased my questions well... I mount'ed a network share thru fstab. Now I can read files/folders but to delete and create them I have to sudo... is there some way to not have to sudo?
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> PB_G3: there are the md5 hashes all the way back to warty
[22:28] <ArrPirate> luke_ I think that's the official answer, though. i'll google for you.
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> baz: mount with better options to allow users to write
[22:28] <ArrPirate> Hi. I'm trying to get gedit to compile a program using make. When I do that it says 'export DEVKITARM=<path to>devkitARM' but if I start gedit in the terminal it compiles fine. I think it's because the vars are different from console and desktop. How can I fix this?
[22:29] <RickX> anyone know if you can add kde to Ubuntu Netbook Remix?
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> baz: http://www.hafenscher.net/wiki/index.php?page=Mount_USB_stick_read_and_writable_for_users
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> baz: those UIDs should help
[22:29] <ArrPirate> luke_: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/uninstalling-grub-from-vista-550172/
[22:29] <Faduda> n8tuser > done. whats next?
[22:29] <ArrPirate> first response from googling 'uninstall linux vista'
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> RickX: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[22:30] <n8tuser> Faduda -> did you get an ip address?
[22:30] <nicholaswyoung> Trying to build something in python, but I keep getting gcc errors. I've got the build essentials package, and gcc already installed.
[22:30] <vieq> hi I want to use openoffice.org 3.0 should I download it from the main site or there is some repo i can use?
[22:30] <RickX> ActionParsnip: I really don't want everything, just the base... I was just wondering of I could install KDE and get away from the Remix desktop.
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> nicholaswyoung: what error do yuo get?
[22:30] <n8tuser> nicholaswyoung -> python but getting gcc errors?
[22:30] <balrog__> how do i find out what ip address i have been given in ubuntu intrepid server?
[22:30] <erUSUL> balrog__: ifconfig -a
[22:30] <nicholaswyoung> @actionparsnip error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
[22:30] <RickX> I'll be getting my Sylvania Meso in a few days, USP willing :-)
[22:30] <xyc0> do the Visual Effects from Normal to Extra make a difference on system resource use?
[22:31] <n8tuser> balrog__ -> you ever write things down? look in your notes?
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> vieq: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml
[22:31] <balrog__> -_-   i should have know that.  thanks.
[22:31] <vieq> thx ActionParsnip
[22:31] <luke_> ArrPirate, like I said Im trying to  figure out of theres a way to do it without the vista disk
[22:31] <Alice22> xyc0:  yes they do
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> nicholaswyoung: and what is error 1 for gcc?
[22:31] <balrog__> n8tuser: why should i when i have you guys a click away?  ;-)
[22:31] <ArrPirate> luke_: And like I said, the official answer is on that site
[22:31] <ArrPirate> luke_ Read it
[22:31] <n8tuser> balrog__ -> and you get answers like that from me, look in your notes
[22:31] <Faduda> n8tuser > no DHCPOFFERS received / No working leases in persistent database - sleeping
[22:32] <xyc0> Alice22: so I'd be better off leaving it on Normal effects?
[22:32] <ArrPirate> luke_ There's an option that doesn't need the disc. Next time read what I give you for help or I won't continue to help you.
[22:32] <n8tuser> Faduda -> i asked you earlier for bunch of info, redo those and post them again for me to see if you have followed through and see if anything had changed
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> RickX: you could install kdm which might pull down the right stuff, but keep your gdm
[22:32] <balrog__> erUSUL: thanks.   n8tuser: thanks for the pep talk.  :-)
[22:32] <Alice22> xyc0:  if u want a faster proces... .
[22:32] <RickX> join #rick
[22:32] <RickX> ratas.
[22:32] <nicholaswyoung> @actionparsnip looks like a directory error. I think this may be fixable by downgrading to 3.2 from 4.0
[22:32] <erUSUL> balrog__: no problem
[22:32] <zez> what is ARP poison ?
[22:33] <n8tuser> zez -> something you'd not want
[22:33] <RickX> ActionParsnip: I shuld be able to keep gdm, I was just wondering of there might be remix specific repositories, and if KDE is in their.
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> RickX: acutually: sudo apt-get install kde4-core
[22:33] <Faduda> n8tuser will do
[22:33] <n8tuser> zez -> arp table poisoned is not good
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> RickX: not sure, i dont use any remix stuff
[22:33] <zez> i mean how can i protect my privacy
[22:33] <luke_> ArrPirate, I am, so far I only saw the option using the disk, I'm still reading though
[22:33] <break19> ok.. I think I've narrowed down the -cause- of my random lockups during install..... it's a IO problem in relation to my brand-new DVD-RW drive...
[22:34] <PB_G3> ActionParsnip: They match
[22:34] <ArrPirate> luke_ do a search for '10:13 PM' on the site, a post by rico001
[22:34] <n8tuser> zez -> privacy from whom?
[22:34] <RickX> ActionParsnip: ah, well, thanks. I guess I'll just look in Synaptic when I get it ... thanks.
[22:34] <ArrPirate> that's likely your best option
[22:34] <Alice22> xyc0:  it look better... whit but it works beter  less
[22:34] <zez> from big brother?
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> PB_G3: you should ALWAYS check md5 hashes, especially with OS disks
[22:34] <break19> but.. it's -got- to be a kernel/driver issue - the drive works great under win...
[22:34] <erUSUL> zez: "Ccorrupting" of some sort of the arp cache
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> PB_G3: does the cd verify on first boot screen?
[22:34] <n8tuser> zez -> too late, you are being recorded since you got here
[22:34] <PB_G3> ActionParsnip: what do you mean
[22:35] <ArrPirate> luke_: And sorry for being impatient, but I came here to get help with my problem and I'm really only helping you right now because my mother taught me to be a good girl so I don't like ungratefulness.
[22:35] <MLlewellyn> Hi, I am new to Linux. Can someone tell me how to view program source code in Ubuntu
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> PB_G3: boot the cd and read the first screen, there is an option to verify the cd is ok
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> PB_G3: all these checks are important for a smooth install
[22:35] <erUSUL> MLlewellyn: you wnat to see the source code of some specific program ?
[22:35] <zez> n8tuser, are you safe when you explain all that things?
[22:35] <n8tuser> ArrPirate -> you're a good gal, hang around more so we can have more women of ubuntu :P
[22:35] <MLlewellyn> No, I want to know how to view the source of any program
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> break19: all i can suggest is unattatch it and use an older drive
[22:36] <MLlewellyn> i keep hearing how linux os so great because it is open source, yet i don't see any way to view the program source code
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> break19: just for the install process
[22:36] <erUSUL> MLlewellyn: source code is a text file any text viewer or editor is enough
[22:36] <nicholaswyoung> @actionparsnip still working on the fix, but thanks for the help!
[22:36] <PB_G3> ActionParsnip: no, it uses yaboot
[22:36] <n8tuser> zez -> safe from whom? no worries too much
[22:36] <erUSUL> MLlewellyn: some do syntax hihghlight
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> break19: or try disabling dma and acpi in bootoptions
[22:36] <erUSUL> !editor | MLlewellyn
[22:36] <gordonjcp> ArrPirate: what was your original question? ;-)
[22:36] <Cpudan80> MLlewellyn: youd have to download the source code packages
[22:36] <MLlewellyn> okay, well i tried editing a program in kate and i got an error message
[22:36] <PB_G3> ActionParsnip: i mean no, and it uses yaboot

[22:37] <ArrPirate> luke_: That site I linked gives about half a dozen different fixes for your issue, some requiring you be able to boot vista, some requiring the vista CD, some requiring another CD
[22:37] <zez> oh, i see... i have to more educiation
[22:37] <MLlewellyn> okay thank you very much
[22:37] <Cpudan80> MLlewellyn: You cant edit the program executable itself, you have to edit the underlying source file
[22:37] <zez> education
[22:37] <erUSUL> MLlewellyn: post the errors on a pastebin
[22:37] <srenre> hello
[22:37] <PB_G3> ActionParsnip: no grub in sight (holding down c)
[22:37] <erUSUL> !pastebin | MLlewellyn
[22:37] <n8tuser> MLlewellyn -> you have the source code? then yeah its easy to view them, but most likely you have to gather them from places, its not readily available for all
[22:37] <djbloc> How do I encrypt the persistent storage file "casper-rw" created by the usb-creator application and live CD?
[22:37] <srenre> new to ubuntu
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> PB_G3: is it for a dualboot?
[22:38] <ArrPirate> gordonjcp: My problem is that I'm trying to get gedit to compile a program using a make file, something it can do through a plugin. It does fine if I start gedit using the terminal but if I select gedit from the menu it says 'Please set DEVKITARM in your environment. export DEVKITARM=<path to>devkitARM"'
[22:38] <srenre> and this irc client
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> srenre: welcome to choice and also learning
[22:38] <n8tuser> djbloc -> think about it, if you encrypt them, would your loader be able to decrypt them easily?
[22:38] <PB_G3> ActionParsnip: ?
[22:38] <lihp> test please...
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> PB_G3: are you installing linux alongside the mac os?

[22:39] <break19> ActionParsnip: hooking up the previous drive isn't an option. it died. hence the new one :p
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> break19: got another?
[22:39] <luke_> ArrPirate, So my problem is that it's trying to boot from the wrong partition?
[22:39] <gordonjcp> ArrPirate: which plugin?  That's actually something I was planning on setting up myself
[22:39] <break19> but trying the nodma atm
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> break19: id try some bootoptions
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | break19
[22:39] <break19> I may even set the bios to disable busmastering as well
[22:39] <n8tuser> Faduda -> what happens when you do  sudo dhclient wlan0  ?
[22:40] <lihp> I can't figure out how to access root privileges in ubuntu.  I need to modify xorg.conf file. help please.
[22:40] <ArrPirate> luke_ The problem is that you broke grub in the uninstall process. You need to overwrite the grub loader with another boot loader
[22:40] <PB_G3> ActionParsnip: I don't have linux on my hd
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> break19: and turn off as much of your bios functionality as yuo can, like lan and sound and guff like that
[22:40] <MLlewellyn> what is the command to join another channel? something like #linux?
[22:40] <srenre> I am using pidgen, how do I get on another irc server?
[22:40] <RickX> Ah... I actually found a tutorial to add KDE to an Asus eee .... same things I have been doing with desktops...

[22:41] <o_portista17> if i remove all the files from, /var/cache/apt/archive, will it affect my system?
[22:41] <PurityOfEssence> Hello. I used gparted to resize a ntfs partition containing vista, now vista won't boot.
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> o_portista17: you can do it with: sudo apt-get clean
[22:41] <BfrOv3rfl0w> ^^
[22:41] <ArrPirate> how can I set an environment variable for desktop applications? I know for applications ran through terminal it's 'export DEVKITARM=<path to>devkitARM'

[22:42] <srenre> ok, help me out here, I am used to mirc on winxp!  is there a help chan for n00bs?
[22:42] <n8tuser> PurityOfEssence -> i experience that too, I have to do recovery of vista, and surprise it only uses the resized hd size.. dont know why
[22:42] <PB_G3> ActionParsnip: I only have 4gb hd
[22:43] <erUSUL> srenre: you can just use a real irc client like xchat

[22:44] <ActionParsnip> PurityOfEssence: personally i'd reinstall and restore data from backup. resizing partitions is too risky imho

[22:44] <erUSUL> !software | srenre
[22:44] <jtaji> !sudo | lihp
[22:44] <erUSUL> lihp: use sudo
[22:44] <Faduda> n8tuser > so basically im screwed?
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> srenre: sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome
[22:45] <PurityOfEssence> xchat-gnome is not xchat
[22:45] <lihp> jtaji.  I did...but apparently I dont have the right password!
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> lihp: you dont have a root account, use sudo for command line apps and gksudo for gui based apps
[22:45] <PurityOfEssence> gah, I hate vistas.
[22:45] <erUSUL> lihp: you use your user's pasword with sudo
[22:45] <BfrOv3rfl0w> lihp: use your login pass on ubuntu
[22:45] <n8tuser> Faduda ->  maybe, i dont know, but dont loss hope, google for your wifi card and perhaps ndiswrapper, and read the links i have given you
[22:45] <ArrPirate> gordonjcp: External tools I think it is
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> lihp: its the password you set when you installed that you need to use
[22:46] <n8tuser> Faduda -> ignoring reading them will certainly not solve your issues
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> lihp: the same as when you log on to your system
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> PurityOfEssence: it better sits with gnome
[22:46] <Faduda> n8tuser winxp solves my problem, id just like to have ubuntu working too :)
[22:46] <lihp> OK.  I tried that, but no cigar...Can I use gedit to modify the xorg.conf file?
[22:46] <jedi06> have you guys heard of g.skill brand for notebook memory?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> PurityOfEssence: xchat-gnome - a new frontend to the popular X-Chat IRC client    its a frontend, which has the dependancy of xchat
[22:46] <PurityOfEssence> in intrepid, xorg.conf does not exist
[22:47] <ArrPirate> so, no one knows how to set environment vars for something launched using the menu?!
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> PurityOfEssence: it does
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> lihp: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:47] <lihp> thanks!
[22:47] <djbloc> n8tuser: I can see how the scripts (in the initrd.gz ramdisk) load the unencrypted persistent storage with aufs. I would like to encrypt the file. The passphrase would then be requested during boot.
[22:47] <n8tuser> Faduda -> so many claimed same, now ask the wifi vendor or yours to release drivers for linux okay? make the playing field a bit even ?
[22:47] <gordonjcp> ArrPirate: ah okay ;-)
[22:48] <ssf> I have a problem. The out-of-memory killer doesn't seem to work effectively. In other words, if a program has an out-of-control memory leak, then pretty soon the computer will be barely responsive (it almost seems frozen but the hard drive light is going because of all the swapping). Usually I can use ctrl-alt-backspace to kill everything, and that is the only way to get the computer back to normal. Shouldn't it kill the the process befor
[22:48] <ssf> e this happens? (This has happened many many times). I wonder if there is some kernel setting that would help.
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> PurityOfEssence: here's mine: http://pastebin.com/f3083803a
[22:48] <gordonjcp> ArrPirate: in the prefs for External tools it has a little script to run
[22:48] <n8tuser> djbloc -> you are far ahead than most, you have great skills, go ahead hack into it and perhaps post your results..
[22:48] <gordonjcp> ArrPirate: can you add the line to that script?
[22:48] <PurityOfEssence> okay, by default, intrepid installs no xorg.conf
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> PurityOfEssence: it really does
[22:48] <ArrPirate> gordonjcp: Good idea!
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> PurityOfEssence: just that there are things to configure it doesnt mean it doesnt exist
[22:49] <veritos> Does the linux-server kernel preempt?
[22:49] <gordonjcp> ArrPirate: I can't see it hurting anything else you might use it for
[22:49] <Faduda> n8tuser > believe me, i do. trouble is, i cant influence what the bro buys off the shelf, and only have trouble connecting to his network. thanks for your help, i'll tackle the problem again tomorrow after a night sleep with a fresh mind.
[22:49] <erUSUL> veritos: grep the config file
[22:49] <n8tuser> djbloc -> the request for a password at boot, gets confusing if you do such? is it for grub or for the initrd.gz ?
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> PurityOfEssence: nvidia-settings and nvidia-xconfig wrote all that stuff in there, but the file till exists
[22:50] <n8tuser> Faduda -> sorry, im not much of help today, but thats the frequent complain of us linux users, no drivers release for linux,  only for windows
[22:50] <disco_lemonade> is anyone here running dual monitors?
[22:50] <djbloc> n8tuser: Wish I was! Need some help on editing the ramdisk scripts
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | disco_lemonade

[22:51] <Faduda> n8tuser > not your fault, you did your best. I'll have another look at the problem tomorrow, maybe I'll see something I missed this time
[22:51] <ssf> does anyone have any experience with a linux computer running out of ram and swapping itself into unresponsiveness, but not killing the offending memory hog?
[22:51] <disco_lemonade> what's the best way to configure dual monitors? through the nvidia-settings-manager?
[22:51] <Droopsta915> Everytime I go online, I notice all the little pictures and windows look a bit pixely? Anyone know what I should try?
[22:51] <tiredbones> I'm using distro 8.4. I'm trying to use the math functions in openoffice write. when i try to select   insert -> object -> formula, formula is not highlighted, therefore i can't select it. How to i get it to highlight?
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> PB_G3: im not much help dude, i dont buy mac hardware, far too low bang for buck. maybe someone else can helpout
[22:52] <Jordan_U> PB_G3, You don't need bootcamp to install Ubuntu
[22:52] <PurityOfEssence> tiredbones you may be missing a package such as openoffice-math

[22:53] <riddlebox> whats the best way to allow root access? so I can have a script run rsync across my network from one system to another?
[22:53] <RusBoy> does anybody running uTorrent with wine on ubuntu seccesfully ?
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> tiredbones: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-math
[22:53] <gordonjcp> riddlebox: the best way is to work out how to do it without requiring root access ;-)
[22:53] <Slart> riddlebox: run it as a cronjob for the root user?
[22:53] <PurityOfEssence> riddlebox you shouldn't need root to run rsync
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: plus no flash plugin for ppc sucks
[22:53] <PB_G3> Jordan_U: He confused me, a bit, my computer is an old PB G3 i bought on ebay for $50 (lombard) that seems to get stuck at busybox with initramfs
[22:53] <tiredbones> thanks, I'll give it a try.
[22:53] <keres> I rebooted my pc, and my drivers are gone, and i have no sound. It's also in a very low resolution. I did not alter the drivers at all. It was working earlier.
[22:53] <Slart> riddlebox: or change the permissions so you don't need root
[22:54] <step21> RusBoy: what's wrong with transmissions?
[22:54] <gordonjcp> PB_G3: the newest Ubuntu that supports PPC is pretty old now - you might be better with Debian
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> tiredbones: you may have to rerun the app to get it to link
[22:54] <n8tuser> djbloc -> my farthest forray into initrd is create one and put symlinks of commands to busybox , didnt do anything useful yet
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> !torrents | RusBoy
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> !torrent | RusBoy
[22:54] <riddlebox> well I need to rsync files into folders that are in the /etc/ dir?
[22:54] <Jordan_U> PB_G3, Are you using the desktop CD or the alternate CD?
[22:55] <PB_G3> Jordan_U: desktop CD
[22:55]  * PC-Ente is away: Away
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> RusBoy: ktorrent is like utorent, why do you want to run a windows app with a huge multitude of native linux apps which will be more stable as well as use less resources
[22:55] <Jordan_U> PB_G3, Try the alternate, also what version of ubuntu are you trying to install, 8.10 ?
[22:56] <Guest78981> hello... I have like 8-10 ubuntu options on my startup screen... how can I thin them out
[22:56]  * PC-Ente is away: Away
[22:56]  * PC-Ente is away: Away
[22:56] <PB_G3> Jordan_U: 7.10 with 320 MB ram

[22:56] <ActionParsnip> !away | PC-Ente
[22:56] <keres> !dmesg
[22:57] <Guest78981> when i start my pc the os options... there are a lot of ubuntu options to boot
[22:57] <Jordan_U> PB_G3, Did you know that there are later releases for PPC that just aren't officially supported?
[22:57] <Guest78981> how to remove them
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: are youusing the alternative cd?
[22:57] <PB_G3> Jordan_U: I only have 320MB of ram and yes
[22:57] <Guest78981> no... I have a duel boot harddrive
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: the usual install system boots to a desktop environment
[22:58] <Guest78981> xp and ubuntu,,,  except there are like 8 or 10 ubuntu options on the grub menu
[22:58] <tainted_kitty> linux is the only subject you talking about?
[22:58] <Jordan_U> PB_G3, Ubuntu doesn't tend to use much more RAM with newer releases, and sometimes ( notably with firefox 3 ) uses less
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: ohhhh i seeee
[22:58] <Guest78981> 1 xp 8 or 10 ubuntu...
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: ok well if the newest kernel works for you, you can uninstall the old ones
[22:59] <Jordan_U> PB_G3, You might want to try Xubuntu though which is lighter
[22:59] <keres> i installed virtual box modules and restarted my pc, my graphics drivers are now deleting and same with sound drivers. My screen is really low-res too
[22:59] <ssf> Jordan_U: Odd, ff3 uses a lot more ram than ff2 for me. (But I have only 256mb ram)
[22:59] <hudnix> Does anyone know if there are ISOs available for doing a direct paravirtual install under xen, without having to go through all the steps of doing a HVM install first, running debootstrap, etc.
[22:59] <PB_G3> Jordan_U: ah, so would you suggest ubuntu 8.04?
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: that will remove the entries for you abnd give you ~30mb a kernel in space
[22:59] <Guest78981> hahaha   I know that..  what I dont know is how to uninstall the otheres
[22:59] <tainted_kitty> i asked stupid question............
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: dont remove them all as your system will be useless
[23:00] <PB_G3> ok xubuntu it is then\
[23:00] <kvh> When I use my kvm, the mouse button order is reset back to right-hand (although the prefs still has left-hand); any idea how to fix?   Any suggestion where to even look?
[23:00] <djbloc> n8tuser: Fair enough. Could you suggest who/where I should go to get this help?
[23:00] <Guest78981> i know that too...  Can you tell me how to remove the other ones
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: run uname -a to get your kernel version
[23:00] <Guest78981> cool
[23:00] <Jordan_U> PB_G3, 8.04 if you don't want to upgrade for a few years ( you can go directly to the next LTS version when it comes out ), 8.10 if you want to keep up with the latest software
[23:01] <Guest78981>  2.6.24-23  does that look right?
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: then run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image | grep 2.6
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: sure, thats your RUNNING kernel
[23:01] <tsrk> Is gnome supposed to replace a file with no confirmation if I rename a file to the same name?
[23:01] <tsrk> uh, sorry, nautilus
[23:02] <PB_G3> all right
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: that command wil list all the linux images installed on your system, uninstall any you deem surplus
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: DO NOT uninstall the version you named earlier
[23:02] <Guest78981> ok...  I have them listed but how do I uninstall them
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: you will tnen need to sudo apt-get autoremove to remove al the fluff that comes with each kernel
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-<some numbers here>-generic
[23:03] <Jordan_U> tsrk, Probably not, if it is I would check if a bug report has been filed already and if not file one
[23:03] <Guest78981> so what is ......   ok  thx
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: for each kernel you wish to remove
[23:03] <Guest78981> got it
[23:03] <Jordan_U> tsrk, If it is deleting files that is
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: go very carefully
[23:03] <Guest78981> how do i remove the fluff
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[23:04] <tsrk> Jordan_U, what else would it do with them?
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: as each kernel comes with modules and other stuff
[23:05] <Guest78981> dpkg -l | grep linux-image | grep 2.6
[23:05] <Guest78981> ii  linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic              2.6.24-19.41                      Linux kernel image for version 2.6.24 on x86
[23:05] <Guest78981> ii  linux-image-2.6.24-21-generic              2.6.24-21.43                      Linux kernel image for version 2.6.24 on x86

[23:05] <Jordan_U> tsrk, Pop up a dialog saying something like "you can't use that name, there is already a file with that name in the current directory"
[23:05] <Guest78981> ii  linux-image-2.6.24-23-generic              2.6.24-23.46                      Linux kernel image for version 2.6.24 on x86

[23:05] <Guest78981> they all  look the same
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> !paste | Guest78981
[23:05] <Guest78981> they all use 2.6
[23:05] <tsrk> Jordan_U, oh, no, it doesn't do that, it just replaces
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: look at the next numbers...
[23:05] <Guest78981> ok  sorry
[23:05] <break19> ...  gd it

[23:06] <kompe> do i need all these recommended updates?
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: look at the file name, not the description
[23:07] <kompe> 14gb in 1-2 isn't it too much?
[23:07] <PurityOfEssence> can intrepid create an lvm install?
[23:07] <kompe> how can i know what i need n what i dont?
[23:07] <Jordan_U> tsrk, I just tried in 8.10 and nautilus did give me an error rather than replacing the file
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> kompe: i'd upgrade whenever you can, kernel upgrades are optional
[23:08] <Jordan_U> tsrk, What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> kompe: unless you are upgrading release version, then its mandatory
[23:08] <tsrk> Jordan_U, really?  that's odd, maybe it was because I was in a samba share
[23:08] <tsrk> Jordan_U, 8.10
[23:08] <tsrk> Jordan_U, yeah, it gives an error in the local filesystem for me, try in a share
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> kompe: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> kompe: definately get those
[23:09] <Guest78981> it said it was going to remove ,,,  do you wish to continue y/n  I y   and put password then next line was one word only     abort

[23:10] <keres> what is the latest kernel for ubuntu called?
[23:10] <youngprince> you guys ever get people coming on here to complain about how expensive ubuntu is?
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> PB_G3: install ubuntu then you may be able to install xfce-desktop, if not use fluxbox or similar
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> keres: latest intrepid kernel is 2.6.27-9
[23:11] <rww> !ot | youngprince
[23:11] <keres> ActionParsnip: what about 8.04's kernel?
[23:11] <keres> ActionParsnip: sorry, forgot to say im running .04
[23:11] <youngprince> thxs rww
[23:11] <Guest78981> reading database
[23:11] <rww> youngprince: but considering it's free, I doubt it.
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> keres: not sure bro, try apt-cache search linux-image
[23:12] <youngprince> i figured you might get some people that bought it with the dell confuse the price of their equipment with the price of their software
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: yuo need to do that for each kernel you want to remove
[23:12] <youngprince> with their*
[23:12] <rww> keres: linux-image-2.6.24-22-generic for hardy
[23:12] <Guest78981> rmdir: failed to remove `/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic': Directory not empty
[23:12] <FreshPrince> gn8 @ all
[23:12] <Guest78981> whats that mean
[23:12] <Eritrean> hi guys
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: fine, you can delete that file if you REALLY want, its not essential
[23:13] <chilli0> helllo all, my lapy fan is randomly really loud
[23:13] <coeus82> hey, how come pidgin 2.5.4 is not available in the official repos?
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: it means that some process has added to the folder which is extra to the package that made it so the folder has not been deleted
[23:13] <CaneToad> anyone know which library "optParseOptions3" C function is found?  Some of the out-of-the-box NetPBM tools (built from source) get an undefined symbol because of the lack of this function running on ubuntu 8.10.
[23:13] <Guest78981> long as it doesnt show on the boot,,,  no issues
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> coeus82: ask your repo managers
[23:14] <Jordan_U> PB_G3, If you use the alternate install CD you should be able to do a minimal install then install the package "xubuntu-desktop" and you will have xubuntu
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: exactly, on to the next
[23:14] <AnaisCareMaiz> hello, could anyone help me... I am trying to open ports 2234 to 2239 to use with Nicotine+, I have the username and pw to access to my modem
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> coeus82: could always compile it yourself if you really need the newer version. is 2.5.2 not working for you?
[23:14] <BLZ> I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, but my sources.list still has hardy repos... is this normal?
[23:14] <gizmo_the_great> Just upgrade to 8.10 and my USB scanner is no longer detected by scanning software, but lsusb show it in the list?
[23:15] <Eritrean> Anybody good with foreign font installation here
[23:15] <Eritrean> ?
[23:15] <jackal> I have intrepid installed on my computer, and during the install I configured an encrypted swap partition with a random key (using the installer).  Everything seemed to work, however, it doesn't appear as though swap is ever getting mounted when the system boots.
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> BLZ: i'd change them to intrepid
[23:15] <BLZ> ActionParsnip:  i figured... how do i do that?
[23:15] <BLZ> ActionParsnip:  i should add that this is a mythbuntu installation, so CLI is a must
[23:15] <n2diy> I'm trying to setup remote desktop viewing with my roomies XP machine, we can ping each other, but not view our boxes with our browsers?
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> BLZ: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources..list
[23:15] <coeus82> ActionParsnip: There are several bugs that apparently 2.5.4 fix
[23:16] <AnaisCareMaiz> how much space does the swap partition needs to work?
[23:16] <coeus82> the version I have now seems to occasionally crash
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> coeus82: do you experience said bugs?
[23:16] <BLZ> ActionParsnip:  right, but what do i put in sources.list?
[23:16] <slashzul> how do you identify the microphone on ubuntu? /dev/??
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> coeus82: looks like you are finding a 3rd party repo with the package on, or compiling
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> BLZ: replace all instances of hardy with intrepid
[23:17] <BLZ> ActionParsnip:  that simple, huh =)  thanks
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> BLZ: then save, exit, then run: sudo apt-get update
[23:17] <exodus_ms> AnaisCareMaiz: go with twice the amount of ram installed on your system
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> BLZ: the upgrade process should have changed that for you
[23:17] <matrix> hey sometimes i am loosin sound on my ubuntu i need to restart and i get the sound back so i can listen to music or watch videos
[23:17] <kompe> ty ActionParsnip, i was looking what mandatory means :p
[23:17] <slashzul> how do you identify the microphone on ubuntu? /dev/??
[23:17] <youngprince> does ubuntu have tablet pc support (asus r1f, i checked a few months ago and no support at that point)
[23:17] <coeus82> ActionParsnip: the bugs are from the pidgin version that I have on the official repos
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> kompe: means you HAVE to do it
[23:17] <matrix> hey sometimes i am loosin sound on my ubuntu i need to restart my pc and i get the sound back so i can listen to music or watch videos
[23:17] <kompe> i c
[23:17] <AnaisCareMaiz> exodus_ms, ok, thanks, so, I have like 500 ram, it must be 1Gb
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> coeus82: then find a 3rd partyy repo with it on, or compile
[23:18] <coeus82> ah
[23:18] <aboSamoor> Hi Ala
[23:18] <AnaisCareMaiz> I need to forward or open ports... I dont even know what would be the difference, can anyone help?
[23:19] <Mooch> does anyone have dialup or am I the only one?
[23:19] <slashzul> the only one
[23:19] <BLZ> ActionParsnip:  is there a place i could find a pastebin of default intrepid sources.list ... i just want to cross check
[23:19] <Mooch> oh great
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> BLZ: i'll give you mine if you want
[23:19] <BLZ> ActionParsnip:  that would be great. thank you
[23:19] <Droopsta915> Why does this say, install missing plug ins and then it says no suitable plug ins found?
[23:19] <Ala> Hi!
[23:20] <slashzul> how do you identify the microphone on ubuntu? /dev/??
[23:20] <BLZ> Droopsta915:  firefox?
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> BLZ: http://pastebin.com/f4f629125
[23:20] <exodus_ms> AnaisCareMaiz: port forwarding allows you to receive incoming traffic through a router to a certain ip address, opening a port simply allows an application to use that port
[23:20] <AnaisCareMaiz> !ports
[23:20] <matrix> hey sometimes i am loosin sound on my ubuntu i need to restart my pc and i get the sound back so i can listen to music or watch videos
[23:20] <BLZ> ActionParsnip;  thanks
[23:20] <Droopsta915> BLZ: yes
[23:20] <BLZ> Droopsta915:  what are you trying to install. do you know?
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> matrix: wait until it stops then run: dmesg | tail
[23:20] <Guest78981> is there a way to save this conversation for later execution.. I gatta leave
[23:20] <AnaisCareMaiz> exodus_ms, but this is weird, because I dont have a router, its a modem, and still when I check this says the ports are closed
[23:21] <Mooch> I have a dial up modem I can't believe I am saying this but its true anyways can't get my drivers to work correctly
[23:21] <Droopsta915> BLZ: im trying to print a paper
[23:21] <AnaisCareMaiz> !port forwarding
[23:21] <exodus_ms> AnaisCareMaiz: what are you trying to do
[23:21] <AnaisCareMaiz> exodus_ms, open those ports
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> Guest78981: ctrl + a, ctrl + c, open text editor, ctrl + v
[23:21] <BLZ> Droopsta915:  what format is the paper in?
[23:21] <exodus_ms> AnaisCareMaiz: I understand, for what
[23:21] <matrix>  APIC error on CPU0: 00(02)
[23:21] <slashzul> how do you identify the microphone on ubuntu? /dev/??
[23:21] <AnaisCareMaiz> exodus_ms, for Nicotine+ and for my torrents to work better
[23:22] <Droopsta915> BLZ: it says to click the adobe print icon
[23:22] <Jockeo> AnaisCareMaiz: Your firewall in your computer might block the ports (or it might be the modem).
[23:22] <exodus_ms> AnaisCareMaiz: what ports do you need to open
[23:22] <Droopsta915> BLZ:It's a pdf
[23:23] <ldiamond> Whats the easiest way to rip a DVD to my hard drive under ubuntu? (Anything similar to Ripit4me in windows?)
[23:23] <BLZ> Droopsta915:  hmm... have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[23:23] <AnaisCareMaiz> Jockeo, I am on ubuntu 8.10, how can I check that out?
[23:23] <Droopsta915> BLZ: yes
[23:23] <AnaisCareMaiz> exodus_ms, 2234 to 2239   Those for Nicotine+
[23:23] <Droopsta915> BLZ: yes, w32coddecs also
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> exodus_ms: its soulseek but for linux and "looks nicer"
[23:24] <BLZ> Droopsta915:  it might require silverlight or some windows-only BS
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> !info acidrip | ldiamond
[23:24] <BLZ> try to figure out what it needs
[23:24] <DIFH-iceroot> AnaisCareMaiz: sudo ufw status
[23:24] <exodus_ms> ah
[23:24] <ldiamond> ActionParsnip, have you used it?
[23:24] <Pedrolito_> How can I figure out from a which package a program in /usr/bin was installed?
[23:24] <slashzul> how do you identify the microphone on ubuntu? /dev/??
[23:24] <rahduke> hello, i have a persistent issues I can't seem to resolve, when streaming media over my network (wired and wireless) my media server (runnign ubuntu 8.10) loses its ethernet connection and resets, it happens over and over throughout the stream. I have a ubuntu PC streaming to a wired xbox (running XBMC) and a HTPC running ubuntu wirelessly
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> ldiamond: i just know of it, i dont rip dvds but i do author my own with devede
[23:25] <beckster> friends
[23:25] <beckster> I've got an aluminum Mac with 8.10 on it
[23:25] <ldiamond> ActionParsnip, alright, thx, ill try
[23:25] <Mooch> does anyone have a linmodem
[23:25] <beckster> can't get the friggen sound to work for the life of me
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> ldiamond: apt-cache search dvd | grep rip
[23:25] <Droopsta915> Thanks for the help
[23:25] <BLZ> beckster:  have you checked to see if your card is supported?
[23:25] <linuxman410> anyone know about openpgp keys
[23:25] <beckster> where'd a brother check?
[23:25] <BLZ> beckster:  help.ubuntu.com is a good start
[23:25] <rww> Pedrolito_: There's probably a better way of doing it, but I usually just type the file name into the second search box on http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[23:26] <rww> !anyone | linuxman410
[23:26] <BLZ> beckster:  as is google
[23:26] <beckster> the oboard card is the nVidia MCP79 HD Audio
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> beckster: run: lspci to identify your sound card, you can websearch from there
[23:26] <BLZ> beckster:  i dunno if it's supported.  run a google search and find out if it's supported or not
[23:27] <linuxman410> how do u upload openpgp key to keyserver
[23:27] <Jockeo> AnaisCareMaiz: Maybe you can configure your modem by entering this address in your web browser: http://192.168.1.1/
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> Jockeo: how will that help?
[23:27] <AnaisCareMaiz> Jockeo, I have that one and another one, dunno which one to use
[23:28] <Jordan_U> n2diy, Any firewall?
[23:28] <rww> linuxman410: are you using gnupg?
[23:28] <tweak66> i'm having an issue expaning my ext3 filesystem.. it's the one ubuntu is on. even if i goot with the gparted liveCD it won't let me extend it.. there's unallocated space right beside it.. can't format another partition, i already have 4.. doesn't allow me to make extended file system either
[23:28] <linuxman410> rww yes
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> tweak66: are you running gparted with gksudo?
[23:29] <rahduke> hello, i have a persistent issue I can't seem to resolve, when streaming media over my network (wired and wireless) my media server (runnign ubuntu 8.10) loses its ethernet connection and resets, it happens over and over throughout the stream. I have a ubuntu PC streaming to a wired xbox (running XBMC) and a HTPC running ubuntu wirelessly. On my computer serving the media I'm using the onboard ethernet on my ASUS PC5GC-MX moth
[23:29] <Jockeo> AnaisCareMaiz: Check if you can open or forward ports in that configuration page.
[23:29] <Jordan_U> tweak66, What happens when you try to extend it? Does it give an error?
[23:29] <CaneToad> anyone know where I can get a working NETPBM "pamtotiff" command?  The netpbm in ubuntu doesn't even include it.
[23:29] <exodus_ms> AnaisCareMaiz: what do you mean 'I have that one and another one, dunno which one to use'
[23:29] <Pedrolito_> rww, thanks!
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> rahduke: when the connection gets lost, check dmesg and other logs to see whats happening
[23:30] <youngprince> does ubuntu have tablet pc support (asus r1f, i checked a few months ago and no support at that point)
[23:30] <tweak66> no it doesn't give an error, it just shows the partition.. i can grab it, but can't shrink it or extend it.. and that's when it's not mounted
[23:30] <Mooch> anyone help me out with my modem? I have a dialup modem and when I upgrade my modem won't detect I have to use the recovery mode to get my comp to boot up
[23:30] <rww> linuxman410: gpg --keyserver address.of.keyserver --send-key keyid
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> !tablet | youngprince
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | youngprince
[23:30] <tweak66> actionparsnip: i was using the gparted liveCD so i dunno?
[23:30] <BLZ> Mooch:  we're going to need more information
[23:30] <rahduke> ActionParsnip: thanks, i cant make heads or tails of the output of dmesg
[23:30] <Wolv3> SPLASH just work default uuntu intrepid i download a lot and no1 work HELP!!!!!!
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> tweak66: make sure you run it with gksudo from a terminal
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> rahduke: well if you see anything that MAY look like an issue, get websearching
[23:31] <tweak66> gksudo gparted ok i will try that. :)
[23:31] <rww> linuxman410: e.g.: gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-key 06A5E691
[23:31] <aaronorosen> Can someone help me with my audio. It used to work and now it just kinda buzzes.
[23:31] <linuxman410> thanks
[23:31] <rahduke> ActionParsnip: is there a way to update my ethernet driver?
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> aaronorosen: lspci will identify the device, you can then websearch from there
[23:32] <n2diy> Jordan_U: Yes, on the XP box, at first I couldn't ping it, but we tweaked the settings, and now I can, we enabled http also.
[23:32] <BLZ> aaronorosen:  we need more information.  Sound card? driver? how did you get it to work the first time?  what have you tried so far? etc...
[23:32] <tweak66> another question.. When i installed ubuntu 8.10 i had it install without swap. I threw an old 2gb drive in, and formated it to swap. how do i make linux recognize it?
[23:32] <exodus_ms> AnaisCareMaiz: try:   netstat -an | grep "LISTEN " to see if Nicotine+ is listening on any ports
[23:32] <Mooch> BLZ my modem is pctel modem I am on the actual site of where the drivers are but I am sort of confused if that is the problem or is it something else but when I download updates thats when my modem won't detect my modem is a linmodem
[23:32] <BLZ> tweak66:  recongize the drive? or mount it for use as swap?
[23:32] <bascht> tweak66: Just add it to the /etc/fstab and it should be recognized
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> rahduke: lspci will identify the device, you can websearch from there, if it was detected automatically then a full system update will update it, you may want to find your own driver and install that. it may give a more solid connection
[23:33] <BLZ> Mooch:  you running the latest drivers?
[23:33] <tweak66> mount it for use as swap yes.. where in the fstab?
[23:33] <BLZ> Mooch:  and have you tried google?
[23:33] <bascht> tweak66: and call a "swapon /dev/yourdrive"
[23:33] <Bmap> i would like to install the absolute minimal ubuntu cd without the gui, and have it run apache, php, and firefox. how could I do this?
[23:33] <Wolv3> SPLASH just work default uuntu intrepid i download a lot and no1 work HELP!!!!!!
[23:33] <BLZ> tweak66:  hang on... one sec
[23:33] <aaronorosen> BLZ: it worked right out of the box. Thought the volume controls on the keyboard that move the sound up and down  show it working on the screen but it doesn't actually change the volume.
[23:33] <rahduke> ActionParsnip: thanks alot
[23:33] <tweak66> blz will do
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> Bmap: you need a gui to run firefox
[23:34] <aaronorosen> BLZ: i've reinstalled alsa but that didn't fix anything
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> Bmap: firefox uses the x server
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> Bmap: there is a broser you can use without x but it has zero flash support
[23:34] <tweak66> blz:the drive i want is /dev/sdb
[23:34] <BLZ> tweak66:  my line in fstab reads:  UUID=844c4769-8410-405a-9919-78e8e5c13e7b none            swap    sw              0       0
[23:35] <BLZ> and i think you can tag on that line (and change the appropriate variables)
[23:35] <tweak66> anyone know the gksudo command for the text editor?
[23:35] <BLZ> aaronrosen:  i would just run a google search for starters
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> tweak66: gksudo gedit
[23:35] <BLZ> with the model of your modem
[23:35] <tweak66> thanks actionparsnip
[23:35] <BLZ> tweak66:  or sudo nano if you want a cli text editor
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> BLZ: gotta watch the spacebar there dude ;)
[23:36] <tweak66> blz : so what do i do with that line?
[23:36] <BLZ> ActionParsnip:  sorry?
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> check pm
[23:36] <exodus_ms> tweak66: type it into the terminal, it will open Gedit as root
[23:37] <BLZ> tweak66:  add it to your fstab and change the variables to reflect your drive
[23:37] <exodus_ms> sorry
[23:37] <tweak66> blz - not entirely sure what to change lol
[23:38] <BLZ> well the UUID for one.  you'll have to figure out what it is for your harddrive
[23:38] <exodus_ms> AnaisCareMaiz: any luck?
[23:38] <BLZ> and i think that's actually it...
[23:38] <aaronorosen> BLZ: any ideas of things i can try? I've googled around a good bit but have pretty much found nothing
[23:39] <BLZ> no i really dont.  i'm sorry...  you could try opening a thread on ubuntuforums.org
[23:39] <BLZ> or contacting the manufacturer
[23:39] <AnaisCareMaiz> exodus_ms, I am in the modem, in NAT, Virtual server... but dunno what to do there
[23:41] <fwaokda> is there a windows 7 type application bar for ubuntu?
[23:42] <exodus_ms> AnaisCareMaiz: did you try:    netstat -an | grep "LISTEN "     to see if Nicotine+ is listening on any ports
[23:43] <AnaisCareMaiz> exodus_ms, that says tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:631           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
[23:43] <pietro_> hi, is it possible to let my audio card work on my pavilion laptop?
[23:44] <theguruofgod> hiii
[23:44] <theguruofgod> why dose ubuntu restrict sound ?
[23:44] <BLZ> theguruofgod:  say what?
[23:44] <theguruofgod> well if i have amarok open
[23:44] <theguruofgod> i cant play sound
[23:44] <theguruofgod> in another window
[23:44] <theguruofgod> like youtube
[23:44] <disappearedng> hey how do I disable paste by the central mouse wheel ?
[23:45] <step21> theguruofgod: it does not, normally
[23:45] <BLZ> theguruofgod:  i've never had that problem.  sounds like a sound driver issue
[23:45] <theguruofgod> step21, thats what i thought
[23:45] <theguruofgod> must be ubuntu problem
[23:45] <theguruofgod> BLZ, do you know how can fix it?
[23:45] <tritium> !enter | theguruofgod
[23:45] <BLZ> theguruofgod:  lol i don't even know what you're running =)
[23:46] <exodus_ms> AnaisCareMaiz: I think it might be Nicotine+, maybe a config setting or something
[23:46] <BLZ> theguruofgod:  what sound card/driver/ubuntu version are you running?
[23:46] <step21> BLZ: maybe a sound system issue? like one playing through kde sound daemon, one through gnome one etc?
[23:46] <BLZ> step21:  hadn't thought of that
[23:46] <Elipsis> hi
[23:46] <Elipsis> Does anyone know why this command doesn't work? dpkg -i --instdir=/tools/debian hexedit_1.2.12-3_i386.deb
[23:47] <BLZ> Elipsis:  got an output for us?
[23:47] <exodus_ms> AnaisCareMaiz: I believe those ports should open once the application request to use them, on your side of the modem.
[23:47] <askand> Recently some of the Swedish language on my Ubuntuinstallation disapperaed and was replaced with english, what could be wrong?
[23:47] <theguruofgod> BLZ, my laptop is inspirion 1525
[23:47] <Elipsis> http://mibbit.com/pb/YrP8qj
[23:47] <Elipsis> BLZ^
[23:47] <BLZ> theguruofgod:  right. what sound card does it have?
[23:47] <BLZ> ssh louis@server
[23:47] <BLZ> oops... this isn't a command prompt
[23:48] <keres_> how do i figure out what version of X i am running?
[23:48] <Elipsis> BLZ: LOL
[23:48] <BLZ> that's embarassing lol
[23:48] <lifeboat8888> hi!
[23:48] <kitche> BLZ: not really now if you typed the password and such that is
[23:48] <lifeboat8888> does anyone use a linux liveCD?
[23:48] <Elipsis> PasteBin of output: http://mibbit.com/pb/xM3Dor
[23:48] <Elipsis> Does anyone know why this command doesn't work? dpkg -i --instdir=/tools/debian hexedit_1.2.12-3_i386.deb
[23:49] <BLZ> Elipsis:  it tells your right there -- no such file or directory
[23:49] <BLZ> kitche:  yeah i came close too
[23:49] <BLZ> kitche:  at least i'm on the internal network and port 22 isn't forwarded
[23:49] <Elipsis> BLZ: But the directory does exist!
[23:49] <Elipsis> BLZ: Just went there in nautilus
[23:49] <BLZ> Elipsis:  time to do a sanity check then.  Make sure you have case and directory paths correct
[23:49] <step21> askand: maybe just check if some update set it to english in the program where it changed and you can just set it back?
[23:49] <Elipsis> Oh, hang on a second, LOL, ubuntu is case sensitive
[23:50] <BLZ> Elipsis:  lol. i do it all the time lol
[23:50] <askand> step21: its in nautilus and its only half english : /
[23:50] <BLZ> Elipsis:  btw, why are you running as root
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> !info okteta | Elipsis
[23:51] <step21> well check if gnome settings are still set to swedish? maybe you updated to a beta or installed some extra that does not have translation?
[23:51] <hudnix> Anyone know of a source for a Paravirtual-enabled install CD suitable for installing directly on Xen?
[23:52] <BLZ> Elipsis:  just an FYI you really shouldn't run stuff from root
[23:52] <BLZ> use sudo
[23:52] <Elipsis> Now I'm getting a new error whilst processing dpkg -i --instdir=/tools/debian hexedit_1.2.12-3_i386.deb: http://mibbit.com/pb/1DvuYT

[23:52] <theguruofgod> BLZ, :High Definition Audio 2.0
[23:53] <BLZ> theguruofgod:   now google it! lol
[23:53] <BLZ> theguruofgod;  make sure to include the version of ubuntu in the search parameters
[23:54] <Elipsis> Now I'm getting a new error whilst processing dpkg -i --instdir=/tools/debian hexedit_1.2.12-3_i386.deb: http://mibbit.com/pb/1DvuYT
[23:54] <Bmap> actionparsnip which browser runs without gui?
[23:54] <SlimeyPete> links
[23:54] <SlimeyPete> or lynx
[23:54] <BLZ> Elipsis:  and the error is...
[23:54] <SlimeyPete> or links2, links-ssl
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> Elipsis: dont you need a space: dpkg -i --instdir=/tools/ debian hexedit_1.2.12-3_i386.deb
[23:55] <theguruofgod> i think the entire Ubuntu install is probably dodgy actually
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> Bmap: let me find it
[23:55] <theguruofgod> too many problems, guess ill just have to wait for the fileserver andthen install again
[23:55] <Bmap>  thx
[23:56] <rww> Bmap: links, lynx, or w3m. The latter is included in Ubuntu installs by default.
[23:56] <joebraziu> hello. Is there a way to change the background color of the default document viewer of ubuntu?
[23:56] <jason> how can i formate a dvd-rw in termainal
[23:56] <luke_> I just downloaded this grub boot thing to take grub off so it wont give me errorrs when booting windows, I chose the option "Fix boot of windows" and it says to make a backup of my mbr to a floppy
[23:56] <jason> i try with kd3 and gnomebaker they say its formated but its not
[23:56] <luke_> What does that mean?
[23:56] <epictetus> jason: it's something like dvdrecord -blank  or cdrecord -blank
[23:57] <epictetus> or dvdrecord -device=/dev/dvd -blank
[23:57] <BLZ> what's the package name for the restricted drivers manager?
[23:57] <luke_> Can anyone answer my question?
[23:57] <Elipsis> ActionParsnip: http://mibbit.com/pb/hCNsYt

[23:58] <joebraziu> hello. Is there a way to change the background color of the default document viewer of ubuntu? I want to change to black and the fonts to white...less stress in the eyes
[23:58] <lifeboat8888> Hi, does anyone know if I use an ubuntu LiveCD on my vista computer - can I get viruses?
[23:58] <rww> BLZ: jockey-gtk, I think.
[23:58] <BLZ> joebraziu:  which document viewer are you talking about?
[23:58] <Bmap> actionparsnip thats a text based browser. if i wanted firefox to work, all i need to install is x window?
[23:58] <BLZ> rww:  thanks. let me try that
[23:58] <joebraziu> i think its calles evince
[23:59] <lifeboat8888> I know Ubuntu/Linux is generally safe from viruses, but I'm wondering if they can get to my Vista if I use the internet while using the LiveCD
[23:59] <joebraziu> called*
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> Bmap: yes
[23:59] <BLZ> rww:  is it the same in xfce?
[23:59] <luke_> BLZ, sorry :pp
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> Bmap: firefox needs an x server running
[23:59] <rww> lifeboat8888: only if you save virus-infected files to your Vista partition, then run them in Vista
[23:59] <rww> BLZ: dunno, I don't use xfce.
[23:59] <Bmap> how can i install x window? apt-get install x server?
[23:59] <BLZ> rww:  okay thanks anyway
[23:59] <Elipsis> Does anyone know why this command doesn't work? dpkg -i --instdir=/tools/debian hexedit_1.2.12-3_i386.deb
[23:59] <rww> Bmap: sudo apt-get install xorg
[23:59] <kitche> lifeboat8888: no unless you use wine and the virus is written to get out of wine some viruses are starting to get smart about sandboxing
[23:59] <erUSUL> Bmap: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> Elipsis: does the /tools folder exist?
