ubuntuthe total of the files exceeds 100gb...00:01
luke_ActionParsnip, I followed Arrs advice, got a CD of that Super Grub Disk, now was about to run the repair but it said something about backing up my mbr00:01

ubuntuproblem is photorec doesn't exactly give you a lot to work with as far as filenames go00:10
ActionParsnip!recover | ubuntu00:10
ubottuubuntu: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel00:10

Gtwyi am trying to get a vnc server installed to do the following.. spent a good bit of time on this today and am out of answers00:10
ActionParsnipubuntu: foremost is ok00:10
ubunturudzaki33: yep broke00:10
ActionParsnipubuntu: the filenames are stored in the FAT so will be lost if its corrupted00:10
rww!vnc | Gtwy: have you tried the VNC howto?00:11
Gtwyi want the vnc service to start when the computer starts00:11
ubottuGtwy: have you tried the VNC howto?: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX00:11

robfbut here is my wonder....00:12
break19here's a useful question.. I have only IDE drives... so why is ubuntu referring to them as scsi drives?00:12
robfif I have an iso of this livecd00:12
GtwyActionParsnip: already got it working but after a reboot i have to MANUALLY start tightvncserver i cant get it to start automatically00:12
ActionParsnipkabukan1: you'd need to tar them to span the disk sizes and burn the tar files, then untar them00:12
robfcan I remove this physical one,  and mount the iso?00:12
ActionParsnipGtwy: does your pc autologin?00:12
GtwyActionParsnip: no and i feel that would be insecure00:12
ActionParsnipGtwy: ok just checking00:12

karamazov:S01:12
mikebotjrib: And I'm wondering what (if any) software in ubuntu can make that change.01:12
prince_jammyskaramazov: sudo runs commands in your PATH. 'cd' is built into the shell. sudo can't run cd01:12

drzinthen how do i disable the KVM02:33
Dillizarquicksilver_,  your WEP doesnt work on the lap top? maybe is hardware02:33
jtajibullgard4: web safe colors... no one too much worries about them anymore btw, hardly anyone is still running 8-bit color02:33
rstecklerIs it just me, or is it way more reliable to install stuff (tomcat6, for example) from the official site instead of apt-get.02:33

wolternightrid3r, i think i have to reinstall02:34
nightrid3rwolter: seems like your card is not supported by the driver,02:34
quicksilver_Dillizar: So my neighbors dont use my wireless. The issue isnt hardware or "why use wep" its that it just doesn't work with 8.10.02:34
rstecklerJack_Sparrow: This is from the main repo.02:34
Jack_Sparrowrsteckler have you looked for bug reports on it02:35

wpgmbI just fried my mobo... Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe (Intel 775).  If I purchase a new board and transfer my drives and other h/w to it, will I encounter many problems booting the system back up into Ubuntu 8.04 (64 bit)?02:35
wolternightrid3r, it has to be.. i downloaded the driver for geforce 8m series, and my card is 8600m gt02:35
bullgard4jtaji: Thank you for anwering. I agree that this only a problem for some special equipment.02:35
Jack_Sparrowrsteckler It is possible to install something else manually that mess's this program up02:35
wolternightrid3r, i think i will perform an uninstall02:35
rstecklerJack_Sparrow: I've been through ~6 problems with the tomcat install.  Google keeps helping me get through one at a time, but it's getting a bit cumbersome.02:35
Cewex_Cute    02:36
Dillizarquicksilver_,  sorry dunno i had more problems with 8.10 thats why i am on 7.10 :D but why dont you try the forum there are a lot of problems with 8.10 maybe some one has the same one02:36
rstecklerOr, I could just wget and install from the official tomcat site and everything works out of the box02:36
quicksilver_Dillizar: Ok, thanks02:36
Jack_Sparrowrsteckler Then do that02:36
nightrid3rwolter: uninstall for now and check nvidia site for other drivers or mail nvidia support02:36
rstecklerFor sure.  I'm just curious if that's a common situation though.  Is it generally considered more reliable to get from official sites, as opposed to apt-get installing stuff?02:37
foxjazzIs there a way to use file browser as root02:37
foxjazz?02:37

antonehenry>Need help with iPod + Podcast + Banshee -  anybody got any experience with an iPod not being able to sync Podcasts?  Thanks!!02:37

carnageanyone know where the display resolutions are stored other than xorg.conf?  mine in stuck on the wrong one and it seems to be independant of the stuff in xorg.conf02:37
Jack_Sparrowfoxjazz dont use that command02:37
quicksilver_jtaji: Im not sure. But its not working on 2 different wireless computers. How do I check what the device is?02:38
Jack_Sparrowfoxjazz gksudo nautilus   is much safer02:38
Dillizarquicksilver_,  try Kwlan i think it will work on gnome with no problems02:38
rww!gksudo | PB_G302:38
Jack_Sparrow!gksudo02:38
ubottuPB_G3: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)02:38
Jack_Sparrowfoxjazz gksudo nautilus   is still a very dangerous and unforgiving command..02:38

Jack_Sparrowdanes_ sudo mkdir /media/drive4you then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/drive4you substitute your drive for sda102:50

Ahadiel!checkinstall | srid04:09
ubottusrid: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

AhadielAssuming it has the same deps as the python version in the repos.04:11
Ahadielsrid, ^04:11
_Vi_how come some apps you install will ask you a 'y/n' if you want to install it or not, and others, just install without asking?04:11
ardchoillesrid: To be honest, I stopped compiling things long ago, the Ubuntu repos are well stocked. I follow this path: 1. check the repos; 2, look for an ubuntu .deb; 3. compile04:11
jtaji_Vi_: it asks when it needs to install packages beyond what you've specified04:11
_Vi_ah makes sense thanks jtaji04:11
sridardchoille: ok. I had this requirement when I noticed that ubuntu repos does not have python 2.6. so i was thinking maybe gentoo would have helped me here04:12

hubarhmm Does anyone know? @@04:12
CyLjrib: I'm not pressing the compose key, and I get ḿ all the time I typ '+m04:12
ardchoillesrid: you can always compile, but beware that the package manager won't manage things if you compile and you need to resolve deps yourself04:12
rdw200169_Vi_, stuff coming from the main repo doesn't ask, i think04:13
Ahadielsrid, If you want a somewhat source-friendly distro try Archlinux04:13
sridardchoille: so apt-get build-dep is no better than doing a 'make' and 'make install' by hand?04:13
Ahadielsrid, No, apt-get build-dep grabs the dependencies for the specified package.04:13
ardchoillesrid: you can't always guarantee that the deps will be in the repos04:14

Ahadielsrid, hrm, seems to requrie alot of work https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM04:17
_Vi_!ask | Guest3438304:17
ubottuGuest34383: 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. :-)04:17
Ahadielsrid, I know in other distros you could just append "toram" or "copy2ram" to the boot line.04:17
sridAhadiel: I vaguely remember doing that in knoppix once upon a time04:17
CyLjrib: Well, if you thing this would help resolving the issue, I'll go trough it, but all he keys are on th right place on the keyboard (I actually do own a US keyboard, although I type in portuguese), the problema is the compositions of deade keys04:17
Ahadielsrid, If you have a spare USB stick ( > 512 ) you can put the arch installer on it04:18
sridAhadiel: anyway, I'm almost done with installing ubuntu on my HD (after screwing up the freebsd installation). I will install sawfish and keep a minimal interface04:18
Ahadielsrid, k04:18
sridAhadiel: I tried that too (put arch img in 8gb usb stick.. but grub failed with error 17)04:18
ardchoillesrid: Have you looked at fluxbox?04:19
jvaijtaji ahhh thanks! let me see if i can burn it to a disk a experiment with this04:19
Ahadielsrid, Strange.04:19
sridardchoille: yes, but the reason for choosing sawfish is that it is extensible in lisp (and I myself have some lisp scripts for sawfish)04:19
Ahadielsrid, How did you copy the img over? dd?04:19

d0netsFNok i will deal with 1000, but where did the other 70 gigs go04:26
d0netsFN70 gigs is lots of space...04:26
sridd0netsFN: my guess is that according to manufacturer, 1 TB = 1000x1000x1000 bytes. also - some data is wasted as unused partitions.04:26

whatevif i sudo mkdir /media/usb/ will that directory remain there forever so i can mount files to it?04:37
ardchoillewhatev: unless you rm it04:38
rdw200169xnevermore, you also need a subnet declaration in your dhcp3 config that matches the network assigned to the interface it listens on04:38
rdw200169xnevermore, i.e., you static assign 192.168.0.1/24 to the interface, then declare a range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.  that would work04:39
rdw200169xnevermore, then tell the dhcp3 server that the gateway is 192.168.0.104:39
rdw200169xnevermore, /24 is = 255.255.255.0 subnet, i.e. 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.25504:39

foxjazzhow do you make the screen saver not lock the computer04:40
robffoxjazz: turn off lock timer04:40
rdw200169xnevermore, the ip range in the dhcp3 config *has* to fit inside the subnet assigned to the interface04:40
rdw200169xnevermore, but, on a side note, you can have several networks assigned to the same interface (not ifconfig, iproute2), and use any *ONE* of them for dhcp04:41

TraceRoutewould it be possible to make a symbolic link to /dev/sda1 (NTFS) partition and have ushare to be able to access files from it?04:43
rdw200169Tully12, you've installed nvidia-glx, or newer?04:43
foxjazzsorry wrong OS04:43
Tully12got 180 off nvidia site04:43
rdw200169Tully12, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log04:44
tritiumTully12: 180 is in the repositories.  Use the ubuntu packages.04:44
Tully12under the restricted drivers only 177 is there04:44
rdw200169Tully12, but the Xorg logs are a little tricky; go to that directory, and read the Xorg file with the most recent timestamp using ls -l04:44
Fire_LordTraceRoute, a symbolic link to it? wouldnt you want to have ushare access /dev/sda1 mounted somewhere? like /media/windows?04:44
rdw200169Tully12, chances are, there's a kernel module mismatch04:44
Fire_LordTraceRoute, unless i am confused what ushare is supposed to do04:44
jtajiarooni: install that package, then check the config file /etc/cron-apt/config, man page, etc..  here's the description http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/cron-apt04:45
rdw200169jtaji, good tip!04:45

D-Boduring 8.10 install a package "startup-tasks" was corrupt.04:46
D-BoWill this hurt the install, and can I install it after it completes?04:47
tritiumTully12: precisely why we recommend using ubuntu-packaged drivers.04:47
Tully12i see "Warning couldnt open module type1"04:47
somethingtodoD-Bo:  startup-tasks - "This package contains the definitions of tasks essential for normal startup of a Linux system."04:48
rdw200169Tully12, the most common is 'GLX Module is a different version from so and so' that is a dead give-away as to what your problem is04:48

rdw200169berbsd, it's a feature of the synaptic driver; try 'man synaptics' to learn more05:02
grumpy_I've got a friends hard disk and she expects me to put the latest ubuntu on it so all she had to do is put it back in and hit the power. How do I do that? Perhaps an url to a howto?05:02
rdw200169berbsd, you're looking for something like 'double finger tap = right click'05:02
goblinit is, but i want to resize it so that i can establish another partition for another os.05:02
Fire_Lordgoblin, what other os?05:03
cwillugrumpy_, install it (8.10, or wait a couple months for 9.04 to come out), install ubuntu-restricted-extras, and the video/wireless if they're not already, and then you're pretty much done05:03
nightrid3rgoblin: ever try to change a tire while driving, it will not work, boot from your ubuntu cd and use that05:03
goblinsorry, but its windows05:03
Fire_Lordgoblin, if its windows you are going to have some trouble with it...05:03
cwillugrumpy_, (-restricted-extras will install the mp3 codecs, flash, etc)05:03
berbsdrdw200169: I am looking to map the right command key to show the contextual menu. I don't want to do it with the touchpad only05:03
bonez45anyone running with Intel 82815 video? I have that on one machine here and can't get more than 800x600 resolution..05:04
Babayidoes anyone know how to monitor the cpu utilization of each application on each processor?05:04
Fire_Lordgoblin, yeah, that tends to cause issues with bootloaders and stuff... if there is nothing important on your ubuntu, i recommend the easy way...05:04
chirankaHey, I have 8.10 and my xserver version is 1:7.4~5ubuntu3, at various times (especially noticeable when using a curses program such as vim,) the screen fails to update correctly, is this a known issue?05:04
bonez45I found the .rpm on intel's site.. did the alien thing.. installed it from a newly minted .deb.. still no higher res...05:04
Fire_Lordgoblin, basicly, install windows on the whole drive, then install ubuntu again...05:04
rdw200169berbsd, oh, you mean the mac-way05:04
rdw200169berbsd, i dunno then05:04
chirankaI am using a compiz currently, pretty much a vanilla install.05:04
goblinoh. is that the only way?05:05
chirankausing compiz*05:05
Fire_Lordgoblin, no, not the only way, just the easiest05:05
cwilluchiranka, what video card?05:05
FirefisheAsking again as I got booted:  What does quiet mean in this line in menu.lst?:  # defoptions=quiet splash05:05
berbsdrdw200169, yes, you are correct. I used to do it with xmodmap, but I wonder if this is still the right method on  intrepid and jaunty05:05
Fire_Lordgoblin, you can do the way you are thinking, but you will need to install the boot loader again from the ubuntu cd after the windows install05:05
nightrid3rgoblin: grab the gparted iso from sourceforg.net05:05
ohhaiI'm running 8.10, having compiled the latest ALSA driver, I have the input that comes to my Mic streamed directly to my headphones, with the actual system sounds/music I play being kinda muffled in the background. I was fiddling with the alsamix lately, so maybe there's a way to fix this, that is rever the possible damage I might have done?05:05
goblinis that hard way explainable, because i do have things on my ubuntu. not much but i do care about them.05:05
grumpy_cwillu, i'm at a loss on how to physically install it. I can connect to her sata drive to my laptop but when I don't know what to do from there...05:05
Fire_Lordgoblin, and then you will have to add an entry for windows05:05
cwilluFirefishe, how much output it dumps to the screen (which you won't see if splash is on anyway :p)05:05
rdw200169berbsd, i don't see why not, you should just be able to use your config file for xmodmap05:06
chirankacwillu, pretty sure it's an intel, but it might be an nvidia, let me check.05:06
cwillugrumpy_, oh, you don't have the actual machine?05:06

Fire_Lordcwillu, not for me..05:06
Firefishecwillu:  So if I just remove the splash, and leave the quiet part, save the file, then do -- sudo grub-update --  I should have my splash screen turned off?05:06
ryanpriorArrick: You're welcome to help add factoids. Ubottu knows a lot.05:06
d0netsFNwhats the best way to format an ntfs partition in ubuntu05:07
d0netsFNin gparted, the option for ntfs is greyed out05:07
Fire_Lordgoblin, yeah, its not that its to hard, just long and confusing to explain05:07

Arrickryanprior, yeah, i've added them before and then it was locked down so nobody but authorised people were able to add to it05:07
goblinOk. thank you Fire_Lord05:07
rdw200169Tully12, heh, you could have just used the pastebin service...05:07
cwillugrumpy_, well, you can install it (just run the live cd, and point it at the sata drive to install, assuming you can plug it in via sata), but you won't be able to do anything with the graphics driver if you need it05:07
Fire_LordArrick, what are you trying to do?05:07
ryanpriord0netsFN: Why do you want to format something NTFS?05:07
d0netsFNstorage for all my os's05:07
cwilluFirefishe, if you want to see the 'normal' linux bootup, get rid of quiet as well05:07
d0netsFNits my mythtv drive mostly05:08
ryanpriord0netsFN: The only reason I can think of would be for Windows compatability, in which case you could just use Microsoft's formatting utility.05:08

cwillu[TK]D-Fender, there's a ppa repository with the nvidia 180 driver packaged up for ubuntu, give me a sec to find it05:08
[TK]D-Fendercwillu: chiranka : Ok... plan B?05:08
grumpy_cwillu, I tried booting my laptop off the iso cd thinking I could install ubuntu using the software but it did not see the /dev/sdb drive as a drive for installation.05:08
AzharnHaving problems installing eggdrop on a fresh install of kubuntu. It says it requires tcl, but I did "sudo apt-get install tcl" and "sudo apt-get install tcllib" and it still can't find it when I do ./configure for the eggie. Suggestions?05:09

rdw200169Bossmanbeta, no, i think firefox refuses to run 2 instances of itself using the same configurations. i.e. the .mozilla directory05:28
morbidnightrid3r: is there some way that my solution is to change the browser, like opera or netscape?05:28
Azharnkevdog: how do I get the developmental files? lol I'm not used to ubuntu's commands.05:28
rdw200169Bossmanbeta, so, if you use a different regular user, it should work fine05:28
Bossmanbetardw200169, but one is running locally, the other over an ssh session05:28
tritiumAzharn: you install the -dev version of the library package05:28
nightrid3rmorbid: give it a try, it might work05:28
Azharnmysqllib-dev ?05:28
kevdogAzharn: Let me look and see what I can find --- Its the apt-cache search command05:28
tritiumAzharn: apt-cache search for it.  That's likely not the right name.05:29
Tully12OMFG rdw200169 IT WORKED!05:29
CoJaBoIs it possible to change resolution and refresh rate in Xubuntu?05:29
rdw200169Bossmanbeta, applications don't care where they are running; the same user logging in over ssh or tty is the same thing according to linux; they all use the hidden folders in the /home directory for configurations05:29
Bossmanbetardw200169, I just tested it gksudo works.... but if I try to run it as a regular user which = the local username, it fails... so that helps some... any way around forcing a run of the application as a diff user?05:29
kevdogstandalone .swf player?05:29
tritiumAzharn: "apt-cache search libmysql" should find it.05:29
rdw200169Bossmanbeta, just login as a different user; or create another user, su to them in the terminal, then run firefox05:30
rdw200169Bossmanbeta, gksudo is bad, bad, bad! don't run firefox as root, shame!05:30
cwilluBossmanbeta, you can't run two firefox's against the same profile at the same time05:30
Bossmanbetardw200169, it was just a test :)05:30
Azharntritium: "libmysqlclient15-dev" sound right to you?05:30
cwilluBossmanbeta, what are you trying to do?05:30
whatevi ran sudo chmod 755 /media/usb but it sitll has the permisssions drwx------ how is that possible?05:30
TheMusicGuySomebody please help...this is driving me crazy:  I keep getting logged out at random for no reason!05:30
rdw200169Bossmanbeta, but it proves my point, firefox won't run *as the same user* twice05:30
cwilluwhatev, you have to set it from inside the mount05:30
Tully12thanks alot rdw200169, your a life saver05:30
Bossmanbetacwillu, trying to run 1 firefox locally, then a 2nd instance of it via ssh -X05:30
nightrid3r!info opera05:30
ubottuPackage opera does not exist in intrepid05:30
tritiumAzharn: I have no idea what you're trying to do, or what library you need.05:30
cwilluwhatev, cd /media/usb; sudo chmod 755 .05:31
rdw200169Tully12, did it work?05:31
Tully12rdw200169, yes workes great05:31
cwilluBossmanbeta, run it as firefox -P -no-remote05:31
tritiumnightrid3r: opera is (or at least was) in the third-party (partner) repository05:31
Tully12rdw200169, all the special effects and cute shit works too05:31
Fire_Lordwhatev, is it mounted currently?05:31
miranda_psirdw200169: you should be able to if you use two different profiles, since the lock is in the profile...05:31
kevdogAzharn: could be libmysqlclient15-dev package05:31
rdw200169Tully12, alright! lemme crunch something out real quick that will make it dual monitor... what resolution you running at?05:31
Bossmanbetacwillu, is there a reference for those options?05:31
whatevyeah it's mounted05:31
cwilluBossmanbeta, firefox --help05:31
Bossmanbetathank U cwillu05:32
Tully12rdw200169, 1440x900 both monitors05:32
tritiumAzharn: why do you need a development library, and yet not know which one you need?05:32
rdw200169miranda_psi, i dunno, can you help him w/that?  i don't know about profiles05:32
rdw200169Tully12, and that's what your monitor is running at right now?05:32
cwilluwhatev, you _have_ to do it from _inside_ the mount, chmod /media/usb is not the same as cd /media/usb; chmod .05:32
Fire_Lordwhatev, you may need to umount and then change the mode, but try what cwillu said first...05:32
cwilluwhatev, cd /media/usb; sudo chmod 755 /media/usb/. might work though05:32
Tully12rdw200169, PCI:3:0:0 is the 1st monitor, PCI:4:0:0 is the 2nd, each monitor is on a single card05:32
cwillubah05:32
cwilluwhatev, sudo chmod 755 /media/usb/. might work though05:32
Azharntritium: I'm trying to install mysqltcl 3.05 and it keeps giving me an error saying it can't find mysql05:32
Bossmanbetayea the -p tells it to use a diff profile05:33
Bossmanbetaok05:33
Tully12rdw200169, 1440x900 on both monitors05:33
bonez45tritium: ok, I am working through those steps. in the wiki.. but still doesn't explain why I can't get ubuntu 8.10 to recognize the hardware I have.. and configure itself accordingly05:33
rdw200169Tully12, do you want 'TwinView' or separate screens per monitor05:33
cwilluFire_Lord, unmounting it and setting it will do absolutely nothing to the mounted fs :p05:33
rdw200169Tully12, but is it actually running at the resolution?05:33
rdw200169Tully12, i.e. not 1024x768 or something like that05:33
Fire_Lordcwillu, yeah, but hes trying to alter the folder, not the mounted fs05:33
Tully12rdw200169, yea im at 1440x900 right now05:33
cwilluFire_Lord, whatev, depending on the fs, there might be a mount option to force the owner to a particular user05:33
Tully12rdw200169, and i would prefer to have the 2nd extended from the first05:34
rdw200169Tully12, and the other question; one big desktop, or two05:34
cwillu(whatev) Fire_Lord, what?  why?05:34
kevdogAzharn: what?05:34
cwillumakes no sense to chmod an empty folder in media05:34
rdw200169Tully12, ok, let's do 2 first, then i'll see if i can't work out TwinView05:34
tritiumbonez45: why do you say it's not recognized?05:34
Tully12kk thanks alot rdw20016905:34
cwilluseeing as it'll have no effect on an fs mounted in that folder05:34
efefefewho know song "Casey last ride" ,how last name this  Casey ?05:34
Fire_Lordcwillu, because its the mount point... if you have the mount point in a mode where it cannot be accessed, you cannot get to the mounted media right?05:35
SiVA_this is only for firefox... not even thunderbird05:35
SiVA_opps05:35
Fire_Lordunless i am mixed up...05:35
rdw200169Tully12, gimme a sec.05:35
SiVA_I just installed ubuntu-desktop on top of my Kubuntu. Now my firefox is all screwed up. The screen flickers anytime the app has to repaint (alt-tab, or right-clicking), and the title bar doesn't appear05:35
Tully12rdw200169, kk05:35
Azharnkevdog: mysqltcl-3.05 so I can run an eggdrop script I need... it requires libmysqltcl3.05.so05:35
cwilluFire_Lord, it's only a mount point if something is already mounted in it.  It's just a regular empty folder otherwise, and the permissions on the empty folder don't affect the permissions of something mounted over it05:35
Fire_Lordcwillu, ah... i see... thanks.. learn something everyday i guess. :P05:35
morbiddamn it05:36
morbidit happens again05:36
cwilluFire_Lord, think about where the permissions of / come from :)05:36
kevdogAzharn: You install mysqltcl05:36
rdw200169Tully12, and for safeties sake, make a copy of what you've got that works, and name it something like: xorg.conf.itreallyworks05:36
bonez45tritium: if I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg on other systems, it recognizes the hardware and sets up the appropriate entries in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but not on this system with the 82815 intel video hardware..05:36
kevdogAzharn: You installed mysqltcl?05:36
rdw200169Tully12, then you can always get it back if we mess things up ;)05:36
Azharnkevdog: yeah, but it's only 3.00 and this script requires 3.05 which I downloaded the tar for.05:36
cwillubonez45, the new xorg's don't use much in xorg.conf anymore05:36
Tully12haha rdw200169, already done that and uploaded it05:36
tritiumbonez45: what driver do you normally use?  i810?05:36

sekyourboxHow do you make Terminal auto load bash?  What would be a reason to not want to do that?05:38
Fire_Lordsekyourbox, it should already do that...05:38
tritiumsekyourbox: it does that already05:38
sekyourboxDash, i think05:39
sekyourboxever since i crashed my old usr acct05:39
Fire_Lordsekyourbox, i guess a reason not to do that is if you like a different shell05:39
bonez45cwillu: the problem is that on this box where I just installed 8.10 desktop.. the only two resolutions I get are 640x480 or 800x600.. really no fun...05:39
Fire_Lordsekyourbox, the way to change it should be in the user settings05:39
tritiumsekyourbox: no, bash is default05:39
cwillubonez45, pastebin the output of xrandr05:39

ubottubonez45: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)05:39

TheMusicGuyI really need help getting to the bottom of this random logout / X server crashing issue.05:42
joelsolankiso it seems tcpwrapper is blockin it.05:42
john522ya someone told me how to change it but i forgot05:42
rdw200169Tully12, take a shot at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109680/05:42
jvboomjoelsolanki: Latest version of ubuntu?05:42
john522i know there are some commands u can use in terminal to replace it05:42
joelsolanki8.0.405:42
john522but i dont want to try something that isnt going to work on this ver05:43
joelsolankii kept ALL : ALL : ALLOW in /etc/hosts.allow05:43
joelsolankiis this correct ?05:43
joelsolankithis allow all things to work ?05:43
kevdogAzharn: I tried to compile and it keeps telling me -- checking for Tcl configuration --WARNING: Cant find Tcl configuraion definitions05:43
sekyourboxFixed,  Just ran custom command "bash" :-)05:43
Huene`how do you keep Ubuntu from searching for networks every few minutes?05:44
cwillubonez45, still there?05:44
tritiumsekyourbox: that's not required, unless you changed your shell to begin with05:44
joelsolankianyone i want to stop using tcpwrappers or allow all thing in tcpwrappers.05:44
joelsolankihow can i do  ?05:44
tritiumsekyourbox: to make it your default shell again, since you apparently changed it, run "chsh"05:44
Azharnkevdog: I don't know what I did, but I tried the ./configure again and it worked. That dev thing I did must've worked.05:44
rdw200169Tully12, an interesting problem with a 'spread' desktop, is full screen goes across *both* screens, i hate that05:44
Azharnkevdog: you need the tcllib05:45
sekyourboxtritium, how would I have changed it?05:45
rdw200169Tully12, this is why i prefer separate x screens per monitor05:45
kevdogAzharn: What was your /configure statement?05:45
bonez45cwillu: still here, the other box. runs ubuntu.. having trouble sending it from that box to here..05:45
tritiumsekyourbox: you tell me.  But bash is certainly the default shell.05:45
bonez45I'll just go there05:45
cwillubonez45, don't have network on it?05:45
cwillubonez45, ah, k05:46
sridback to ubuntu. feels good.05:46
Azharnkevdog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109681/05:46
sekyourboxtritium, I'm just wondering if you know how its done, because I dont..05:46
wolteris there such package as xerver-xorg-dev05:46
wolter?05:46
Tully12rdw200169, the first screen worked only, and i got a message saying "the pannel encountered a problem while loading: OAFIID: GNOME FastUserSwitchApplet05:46
tritiumsekyourbox: like I said above, run "chsh"05:46
sekyourboxoh, thx05:47
tritiumwolter: find out for yourself, via "apt-cache search xserver-xorg"05:47
rdw200169Tully12, yeah, i think i had to do some screwy things to get it working 'just right'05:47
tritiumbonez451: I never saw a reply from you...05:47
kevdogAzharn: Give me a sec05:47
bonez451tritium: here it is.. and for cwillu:   http://pastebin.com/m7d275d9205:47
woltertritium, uh, there is not. is that i get asked to have that from the nvidia site, to install the latest drivers...05:48
cwilluthanks05:48
tritiumwolter: do you want the 180 drivers?05:48
=== l1d is now known as nsideoutboy
woltertritium, i do.05:48
tritiumwolter: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-18005:48
efefefejohn522 : mb replace icon  in /usr/share/pixmaps/05:48
kevdogAzharn: I install tcllib and same thing!05:48
woltertritium, but i am having trouble with them''05:48
wolterok, nice05:48
tritiumwolter: we never recommend direct nvidia.com downloads.  Package-managed drivers are much preferred.05:49
woltertritium, has no installation candidate05:49
Azharnkevdog: install the tcl dev files as well... sorry forgot that part.05:49
tritiumwolter: then you need to enable the proper repo.  Are you on intrepid?05:49

cwilluwolter, if you tried installing via nvidia's installer, and you got the installer to uninstall preexisting drivers, you probably have a somewhat broken setup05:49
woltertritium, yeah.. well, is that i am getting this periodical system stall, and now i know that xorg is to blame, so i guess drivers were a possible solution.05:49
tritiumwolter: as you can see above, it's in the restricted repo05:49

rdw200169Tully12, super googling...05:50
cwilluk05:50
tritiumbonez451: I had asked what driver you normally use.  i810?  Is your /etc/X11/xorg.conf configured to use that?05:51
woltertritium, i am on intrepid, now gona google the repos... tritium, which 180 is that driver? is it 180.22?05:51

tritiumwolter: you don't need to google the repos.  Just enable them in System -> Administration -> Software Sources05:52
cwilluwolter, no, it's in intrepid now too05:52
tritiumwolter: no05:52
Bossmanbetaonce SSH'ed into a server, is there a way to add local listening ports to forward (e.g. -L 1234:192.168.0.3:23) on the fly? Or must I log out and redo the SSH command?05:52

cwillubonez451, edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in the device section, add:  Driver "intel"05:59
rdw200169dartagnon1234, ok, did you check dns? try 'cat /etc/resolv.conf'05:59
djyoung4i need help05:59
djyoung4with install help05:59
rdw200169dartagnon1234, is there line in there that says 'nameserver' with an IP address?06:00
cwilluwhatev, how are you mounting it?  from the terminal, or just letting the desktop mount it when you plug it in?06:00
whatevcwillu my truecrypt partition is mounted on /media/usb/ and it contains /media/usb/docroot, which is where i put my public web files for development. but running http://localhost/ gives me 'permission denied' errors because /media/usb doesnt have the right permissions. but cd'ing to /media/usb and typing sudo chmod -R 755 . isnt changing anything06:00
dartagnon1234thanks rdw, give me a minute to bring that up.. my Ubuntu box is in the other room06:00
woltertritium, AWESOME. you saved my life. I hated the nvidia.com installation since the second i knew i had to do it without gui.06:00
bonez451cwillu: is that it?06:00
cwilluwhatev, that you're using truecrypt would be relevant information :p06:00
whatev=p06:00
bonez451cwillu: just add that to the device section?06:00
cwillubonez451, actually, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log first, just to check06:00
rdw200169Tully12, if the screens are backwards, you don't have to switch them around, just swap Screen0 and Screen1 in the Server Layout, for future reference ;)06:01

cwilluwhatev, what's the mount line you're using?06:01

woltertritium, haha, sometimes i dont say that intrepid is awesome, but those canonical guys are making some damn good effort.06:03
rdw200169Tully12, but I don't know for sure; i think your problem right now is related to the 'modelines' in the Screen Configs06:03
djyoung4ok i will try and figure that out06:03
rdw200169Tully12, did that work at all?06:04
Tully12rdw200169, the first screen works great, 2nd one even flash or show anything06:04

bonez451cwillu: suggestions on how to capture it and pastebin it?06:05
Tully12rdw200169, sure06:05
cwilluwhatev, sorry, it's going to be a config setting on truecrypt, which I'm not really familiar with06:05
rdw200169dartagnon1234, yeah, you don't have a DNS server specified, did you manually assign the IP address06:05
cwillubonez451, how are you pasting it?06:05
tritiumwolter: probably depends on where you are06:05
cwillubonez451, I'd expect pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log would work06:05
cwillubonez451, (apt-get install pastebinit)06:06
roccity_I was trying to get xinerama working and it didn't work but it would try and connect to my ethernet06:06

dartagnon1234rdw200169, yeah, trying to get ssh working.  what should I do to get my DNS working?06:06

davew009quick question for my grub again, i have ubuntu installed on /dev/sda6, which is, with its swap partition on /dev/sda3, so in grub should i point root to sda6 or sda3?06:08
cwilluwhatev, mount ... -o umask=... should do something for you06:08
cwillubonez451, thanks06:08
wolterallquixotic, hey, whats up. I haven't been able to fix this problem I fight with, but I wanted to tell you that the 180 driver for nvidia is now available from the restricted repos on intrepid06:08
ethana2davew009: the root is /dev/sda606:08
rdw200169dartagnon1234, gimme a sec.06:08
dartagnon1234rdw200169, no problem06:09
miranda_psiwhatev: if its a filesystem that supports linux  permissions then it can be done, otherwise just mount it using an fstab entry with the option umask=002206:09

rdw200169Tully12, hey, not to much different from what i did ;)  you found the very well hidden nvidia driver documentation; that, or a good forum...06:27
cwilluis there anyway to make aptitude reinstall do a purge of the package, rather than just doing a normal reinstall?06:27

rdw200169Tully12, ah, i see what it was: you aren't using DFP monitors (digital)06:29
rdw200169Tully12, i should have put CRT in the modelines...06:29

cwilludracnoc, --purge isn't a commandline option in man though06:30

ziggleshi guys, if i want to make a host on my network respond to something.domain.com, what should be installed on that host?  do i need bind?06:32
rwwU-b-u-n-t-u: Newly-formatted drives are often configured to be only writable by root. You could try "sudo chown -R yourusername:yourgroup /path/to/mountpoint" or "sudo chmod -R ugo+rwx /path/to/mountpoint" to remedy that.06:32
Tully12rdw200169, yep everything wigglez06:32
cwilludracnoc, nvm, just using dpkg directly06:32
dracnoccwillu: lol, fair enough.06:33
U-b-u-n-t-urww thanks and its mounted in media/disk06:33
rdw200169Tully12, you may notice that video and such doesn't work right; if that's the case, you just disable compiz on *one* the monitors; it was a bug in compiz.  i don't know if it's there anymore; i'm still using 8.0406:33
U-b-u-n-t-uits that where it should be?06:33
U-b-u-n-t-uis*06:33
rwwU-b-u-n-t-u: sounds about right. You'd replace "/path/to/mountpoint" with "/media/disk/" in the commands above.06:33
Tully12ahh ok thanks rdw200169 for the tip06:33
* cwillu purges hal and pm-utils06:34
U-b-u-n-t-urww thanks I am going to change the permissions now then06:34
rdw200169Tully12, in order to do that, (Alt+F2 for all this): metacity --replace; move mouse to the screen you want compiz on; then: compiz --only-current-screen06:34
movieboxHi - When I type in places it does auto spell check - but it is set to another country's language somewhere - how can I change it to English ? ?06:34
zigglesanyone know how i can name a computer something like host.domain.com ?06:35
Tully12rdw200169, saved that cuz i wont remember it lol06:35
rdw200169Tully12, even though you can't drag windows b/w the screens, the benefit is that you can do full screen on *one* screen; i.e. watch a movie on one and play a wine game on the other, and still be able to mouse b/w them06:35
rdw200169Tully12, i do that alot!06:35

lanoxx-where does ubuntu store source code for applications?06:38
cwillulanoxx-, apt-get source <packagename> will download the source for that package06:39
rdw200169cwillu, i found that since i have un-equal monitor sizes, that it was *much* more reliable having completely separate screens; that and the compiz problem i already mentioned06:39
rdw200169cwillu, i'm still using 8.04, i haven't tried w/8.1006:39
* cwillu shrugs at rdw20016906:39
cwillurdw200169, been doing this since 7.0406:39
lanoxx-cwillu, thx06:39
rwwKungfuJoe: You can find out which version of Ubuntu you have with "lsb_release -a". Hardy, Feisty, etc. are different versions of Ubuntu; you can see a list of all Ubuntu versions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases06:40
KungfuJoeOk, so I have intrepid. Does it make a huge diff which one I have? I'm under the impression that these are codenames for the different releases, right?06:40
cwillurdw200169, what was the compiz problem you were having?06:40
lanoxx-cwillu, what the respective command for aptitude?06:40

cwillulanoxx-, aptitude isn't really giving you anything for that case though06:40

clearzenso I want to make a raid array that is larger than 2TB do I need to be running 64 bit software to do this?07:40

=== Kunalagon_ is now known as Kunalagon
clearzenI have heard that there is a problem with the memory addressing on 32 bit systems on volumes above 2TB. That is will only show 2 TB and not the actual space available07:41
cwilluclearzen, memory addressing isn't related to harddrives though07:41
phorensicclearzen: I don't think that matters, is this hardware or softwre raid?07:41
clearzenIt's hardware07:42
dmsupermanTelQuel: You could just do sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts but yeah I think that does it too07:42
cwilluclearzen, unless you have a bugreport about it07:42
cwilluTelQuel, yes, and also a bunch of other useful stuff07:42
phorensicclearzen: I can't se this being a problem at all.07:42
UsmanYes I have sent you the URL07:42
TelQuelhrm why do I get an error window when I try to visit youtube? haha. I am using firefox and it seems to think I am trying to install something to www.youtube.com on my hard drive or something.07:43
cwilluclearzen, the 32/64bit is about how much address space (ram, basically) a single process (program) can use07:43
cwilluclearzen, you can even use more that 4gb memory on a 32bit os, as long as the os support pae.  Any given program would still only be able to use at most 4gb of ram though07:44
skate23gb ram vs up to 8gb?07:44

clearzenphorensic: well look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3fs#Size_limits am I reading it wrong?07:44
cwilluskate2, 64 GB07:45
phorensicclearzen: One possibility is the file system you are using, lemme see the doc07:45
phorensicbrb07:45
nightrid3rfor those interrested see wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelineaC154107:45
cwilluclearzen, that's the file system, unrelated to 32bit/64bit processors07:45
skate2cool07:46
cwilluclearzen, 8kb block size is up to 16tb, as listed on that page07:46
nightrid3rcwillu: on a very low level it might be relevant when blockcount goes over max adress size07:46
clearzenyeah, but I can only get a 8kib block size with a alpha architecture07:46
cwilluclearzen, eh?07:46
cwilluclearzen, block size is set by the file system, nothing to do with the hardware07:47
clearzensorry 8kib pages like alpha07:47
cwilluclearzen, ext4 (which is supported in jaunty when that comes out, and can also be used in intrepid with some changes) supports up to 1 exabyte filesystems, and 16tb files07:47
ubuntnewhow to set firefox work with mplayer-plugin07:47
cwilluclearzen, this isn't talking about vm pages07:47
clearzenlook at the note for 8kib block sizes07:47
nightrid3rwow 16tb files for ma pron :)07:48
phorensiccwillu: ext4? What additions did they make is is just larger file size support?07:48
cwilluphorensic, there's lots of changes07:48
clearzenanyway, I'm using 6.06. Could I still use ext4 partitions?07:48
theatrusclearzen, not without upgrading your kernel manually07:48
TelQuelhrm how do I adjust my screen brightness? It's not under appearance?07:49
cwilluclearzen, okay, so 16tb then07:49
cwilluclearzen, you'd need to be using a kernel with ext4 support.  intrepid's is the earliest with ext4 support, and it's still flagged as dev there07:49
djyoung4http://ihateliz.com/?id=2v6e5z71xo5qvolx8v5v0edkdlbg3d07:49
clearzencwillu: at what point during partitioning can I specify block size?07:49
cwilluclearzen, if you're planning on using a raid, you really should have a good understanding of all the commands, so I think I'm just going to refer you to the man pages07:50
clearzencwillu: well, I am not going to be setting this up for a few weeks so I have time to choose what I want to do.07:50
cwilluclearzen, okay07:50
clearzencwillu: okay, I guess I'll just dig around07:50
cwilluclearzen, if you have a spare drive, play around with lvm + dmraid + partitioning, to get a good grip on it07:50
adantehi, is there no way for me to prep a hard drive for a ubuntu install (for a laptop with no floppy/cdrom) from another machine?07:50
clearzencwillu: or RTFM07:51
cwilluclearzen, gparted can get some of that started, although you'll really want to understand everything that is involved07:51
Usmandnsuperman: the link I got is:  http://pastebin.com/m7bd4601107:51
cwilluclearzen, if you have to stay on 6.06 (or an old kernel, etc), you might also want to look at the other possible fs's07:51
nightrid3radante: must be very old laptop07:51
fmeff001whats happening if i get keycodes for my Super_L and Super_R keys with <showkeys>, but xev only shows a keycode for Super_R????07:51
cwilluclearzen, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Limits07:52
cwilluclearzen, jfs might be useful07:52
clearzencwillu: sweet thanks for the link07:52
adantenightrid3r: its somewhat old, yes thanks for your concern07:52
TelQueldoes anyone know where to adjust my screen's brightness? I do not see it in preferences.07:52
nightrid3radante: you can do it but i suggest you install xubuntu as it needs less resources than ubuntu07:53
clearzencwillu: i'm thinking raid 5 or 10 but I need to figure out the size limits involved and do some further study I think. Thanks.07:53
cwilluclearzen, in a terminal, mkfs<tab> will give you a list of ones you should be able to use (although alot of them will be uninteresting)07:53

brotherhandthere arent any performance problems, but can anybody tell me how to stop the Login sound from happening every couple minutes?07:55
nightrid3radante: it might complain about xorg but that can be solved07:55
clearzencwillu: I was thinking about the seagate 1.5TB07:55
cwilluclearzen, I kinda prefer 10 if you're not on a budget that is severely restricting the number of drives you use07:55
Glu3hey07:55
Glu3im a guy07:55
clearzencwillu: yeah, scalability is always a plus07:55
adantenightrid3r: hm so no way to do it by connecting hdd to good computer via usb, doing some steps and then plugging hdd into old laptop again?07:55
cwilluclearzen, on the other hand, I'm also a fan of simply using dmraid/lvm instead of a hardware raid :p07:56

cwillunightrid3r, and it's /dev/sd* for most everything now too :p07:57
nightrid3rlearning something new evry day :)07:57
cwilluskate2, if you have compiz enabled, make sure the desktop wall plugin isn't using those shortcuts (even if you don't have a vertical virtual desktop, it'll still grab the keys)07:58
skate2i dont have compiz07:58
cwilluno idea then07:59

cwillunightrid3r, firm maybe :p07:59
nightrid3rcool07:59
skate2what's better to do for a laptop when turnin it off at night, hibernate or standby?07:59
cwillunightrid3r, I think the desktop installer won't install to a usb drive by default, but I don't know for sure07:59
cwilluskate2, I just leave mine on, not really any practical difference between the two though07:59
PeoplesAdvocateif I installed webmin using dpkg how to i uninstall everything that was installed with it?08:00
cwillueither way, the drive should be in power saving08:00
skate2cwillu,  neither use any battery power right?08:00
flodinskate2: Standby will strain the battery08:00
MechdavePeoplesAdvocate, use sudo apt-get autoremove08:00
skate2ah08:00
cwilluPeoplesAdvocate, unless it keeps track, you'd have to know what you installed and remove it via dpkg/apt/synaptic/etc08:00
MechdaveOops dpkg08:00
PeoplesAdvocateok cool thanks08:00
cwilluskate2, suspend will you a very slight amount of power (my laptop can stay suspended for days before it goes dead)08:00
cwilluskate2, best thing is to leave it plugged in anyway08:01
skate2cool08:01
skate2i dont like leaving it plugged in because the charger uses a lot of electricity08:01
cwilluskate2, modern batteries prefer to be tricklecharged, they should either be in use, or be plugged in08:01
cwillunot really08:01
nightrid3rPeoplesAdvocate: i don't think webmin installs additional software, except maybe some perl module which won't hurt your system08:01
cwilluskate2, it's better for the battery life, which is a bigger win over all (longer time before it ends up in a landfill)08:02
TelQuelanyone know whether I can set screen brightness in ubuntu?08:02
skate2ok08:02
PeoplesAdvocatewhat if it was a .deb ? does it apply or is there a easier way to uninstall08:02
TelQuelI find it a bit eye-blazing at present08:02
cwilluskate2, suspend/hibernate while plugged in with a fully charged battery should be negligable08:02
cwilluTelQuel, I think it's under power settings08:02
cwilluTelQuel, fn+left/right might do it too08:02
cwilluPeoplesAdvocate, deb files are what apt/dpkg/synaptic do08:03
cwilluPeoplesAdvocate, synaptic has a filter for 'local/obsolete' packages, which should list anything installed through a deb without a repository08:03
TelQuelI don't see it under power settings08:03

TelQuelxchat definitely has a different appearance, I am not at all used to this style of irc.08:32
cwillu.ssh contains stuff you may not be able to replace08:32
cwillukeys and the like08:32

nightrid3rdjyoung4: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Main_Page08:32
cwillujrgp, mv ~/.ssh ~/.ssh.old would do the same thing, and not cause any other issues08:32

cwillujrgp, i.e., preventing him from logging on to machines that only allow id_rsa logins, etc08:33
jrgpgotcha08:33
cwillutry to avoid suggesting rm -r as a fix, especially when you don't know if its the problem08:33
nightrid3rjrgp: emacs requires 12 fingers to use it08:33
djyoung4thanks nightrid3r i was looking at this one called the t mobile wing which runs windows mobile whatever but this is so much better08:34
cwilluit's right up there with the usual advice of deleting all the .gnome/.gconf folders to 'test' if they're causing the problem08:34
UsmanTumhari maa ki08:34
cwilluyes, you fixed the problem, by killing the patient08:34
UsmanI got the ansmwer08:34
cwilluand maybe you didn't fix the problem either :p08:34

idrissmrabtiBecaus I've juste installed 8.10 yesterday10:08
koshariCoolkid so delete the existing partition(s) , make a 2 gig fat32 one at the beginning of the drive, and then try the installer again, the usb persistance installer should set the partition to bootable if not you can set the flag with gparted10:08
phorensicidrissmrabti: no firestarter is not installed by default.. on the router I was thinking10:09

phorensicTelQuel: Its a window decorator11:25
phorensicTelQuel: or engine (technicality?)11:26
TelQueloh so it makes things look more fancy?11:26

TelQuelI'm running integrated graphics.11:26
igorsanybody know if there is a python2.6 package for ubuntu server 8.04? I know it's not on default repositories, but maybe there are extra repositories...11:26
TelQuelso that sort of thing is likely to hit my performance.11:27
phorensicTelQuel: thats fine maybe just dont turn up the juice on compiz11:27
=== ddd is now known as hajar
Ademanis there no pkg-config file for building python applications?11:27
TelQuelok, where do I find emerald?11:28
phorensicTelQuel: prob not so much for emeral its compiz you don't want to have to crazy effects11:28
phorensicTelQuel: sudo apt-get install emerald11:28
lstarnesAdeman: try python-config instad of pkg-config python11:28
hajarStroganoff : sorry for late .. I have ATI but it does not work properly  even I use restricted manager11:28
TelQuelahhh I feel like it didn't find the package last time, let me try again11:28
Stroganoffhajar: you mean installing a driver with resticted manager didn't work?11:29
Ademanlstarnes: that looks very promising, thanks11:29
Ademani never understood why people felt it necessary to create their own config applications, sdl has sdl-config as well, even though both sdl-config and python-config behave the same as pkg-config (or seem to at least)11:29
hajaryes .. because the hibernate and suspend still not work .. and the video still not clear11:30
lstarnesAdeman: I think doing it this way removes the requirement for pkg-config11:30
phorensicTelQuel: You can either download themes off sites such as gnome-look.org .. or download the theme packages (sudo apt-get install emerald-themes) i think11:30
Ademantrue but pkg-config is part of build-essential isn't it? and it's always best not to re-invent the wheel imho11:31
TelQuelhrm package not found for themes11:32
lstarnesAdeman: it isn't included with build-essential and there are many other linux distributions11:32
AdemanTelQuel: themes for what?11:32
TelQuelemerald11:32
TelQuelI am trying to spruce up my GUI11:32
TelQuelhehe11:32
Ademangnome-look.org should have plenty11:32
phorensicemerald-themes is the package name11:32
Ademanmetacity themes should work as well11:32
phorensicTelQuel: ya get some good ones off of gnome-look.org11:33
TelQuelany recommendations? I am looking there now.11:33
ackbahrHi there! I had a Clonzilla accident which erased my F.A.T. I'd like to retrieve some files I did after the last backup, do you know a way to restore stuff?11:33
x-ipHi, how can i make grub re-read my menu.lst conf file and reinstall mbr ?11:34

cwilluext4-issues, open synaptic, and click the 'size' column11:39

phorensicmpole hmmm looks fine to me ry it this way11:51
V^_^Vhi there11:51
Ademanext4-issues: right now i'm learning cython so that i can write libraries in c for python without having to deal with most of the c ugliness (plus the code to link python and c is pretty nasty, writing it by hand would be more painful than just writing everything in c lol)11:52
phorensicCoolkid`: is that part done?11:52
debdebi'm trying to link two computers via ethernet to backup one of them. both are running ubuntu. does it need any config ?11:52

Mpolephorensic: which way?11:52
V^_^VCan you find the return address?11:52
cwilludebdeb, sftp://host.local/ in nautilus would then let you drag files across, or scp/sftp/rsync for the command line11:53

cwilludebdeb, the <hostname of the machine>.local11:55
cwilludebdeb, debdeb-desktop.local11:55
phorensicMpole: type in: http://packages.medibuntu.org/ intrepid free non-free11:55
Mpolephorensic: after that?11:55
Ademanext4-issues: not quite, jython (as i understand it) just lets you compile python programs to java bytecode so that they can be run on the jvm (which is nice because it allows you to deploy anywhere where there's java, which is alot of places).  cython as I understand it is primarily targeted at extending python (specifically CPython, the normal python interpreter/implementation) and is designed to let you call native C functions11:55
Ademanfrom python-like code.  in that respect it *is* like jython because I think you can use the java standard library in jython11:55
Ademanhehe ok i'm done rambling11:55
cwilludebdeb, network manager can tell you the address if need be, but the machinename.local is probably the easiest way to connect11:55
Ademannight all :-p11:55
debdebcwillu, i'll try. thank you11:56
phorensicMpole: after that save and then do the rest of the how to11:56
ext4-issuesAdeman: hmmm, I see...11:56
Mpolephorensic: can you retype that last message to my pm?11:56
cwilluext4-issues, jython is a python interpreter in java.  'cpython' is a somewhat unofficial name for normal python, which is what you'd get if you type 'python' in a terminal11:56
V^_^VCan you find the return address?11:57
Mpolephorensic: nothing comes up on software sources... i dont get a dialog11:57
cwilluext4-issues, cython is something else entirely (unless you were intending to do development on python itself, basically) :p11:58
ext4-issuescwillu: like I will even in the next century :P11:58

fosco_TelQuel_: if you are using emerald window decorations you'll see the new theme inmediatly12:28
cwilluMpole, reread what I told you to do12:28
Mpolecwillu: i did whatever was indicated, it didnt work12:29
AdemanV^_^V: no, i always check my array bounds12:29
cwilluMpole, you got tripped up over 'synaptic package manager'12:29
TelQuel_well I installed emerald, how do I know if I am using decorations? I am pretty sure I am.12:29
cwilluMpole, that doesn't bode well for your current state of mind :/12:29

dontknowhi all. I've been setting up SSH access to a server from my laptop. The first time I connected it asked if I wanted the SSH key's passphrase to be remembered and I chose yes. How can I remove the cached passphrase so I'm asked for it each time12:31
cwilluRencx, there's already rar support in the repository, you don't need to install a seperate third party program12:31
Mpolecwillu: yes, it did open12:31
TelQuel_fosco_, I have emerald installed and in the emerald settings everything appears 'on' so I am not sure how to apply the theme.12:31
Rencxcwillu: i yust want to use WinRAR not rar suport12:31
aysRencx as Ademan wrote, you dont need that12:31
Dr_willisI use winrar.exe in wine all the time12:32
aysubunt already can compress and decompress .rar archivs12:32
Dr_willis:)12:32
fosco_TelQuel_: mostly sure you are no using emerald, open a terminal and type emerald --replace to use it12:32
aysbut you can natively use winrar in linux based systems12:32
Mpolecwillu: was told to reload, now it is downloading packages12:32
cwilluRencx, why would you want to use expiry nagware when we already have support for it in the standard tools?12:32
aysmostly due to its first part of the name... WIN12:32
ays:))12:32
cwilluRencx, installing ubuntu-restricted-extras will get pretty much all the standard extras installed12:32
shyamhai what should be used instead of /etc/modules.conf in ubuntu?12:32
cwilluRencx, (mp3, flash, rar, java, etc)12:33
Dr_willisays,  i think you missed a  "  can't "  somewhere.. :)12:33
aysyou need, as Dr_willis wrote, use wine or some crossover platform support to use windows based programs12:33
TelQuel_fosco_, ok that made the terminal box change theme but why didn't the rest? lol12:33
aysyeah mate... I missed "'t"12:33

aysit do tend to happen when I do allnighter ;)12:33
fosco_TelQuel_: make sure all windows are owned by the same user, do not use sudo nor su12:33
cwilluFlynsarmy, not yet, but you can turn on the screen resolution applet which will make it fairly accessible12:34
cwilluFlynsarmy, system | prefs | screen resolution | "show displays in panel"12:34
Flynsarmycwillu, will that work with proprietry gefore graphics driver?12:34
TelQuel_fosco_, I didn't use sudo or anything... as soon as I close the terminal window the theme goes away12:34
Mpolecwillu: i need to add medibuntu.org as a software source, how do i do that?12:34
cwilluFlynsarmy, nope :p12:34
cwilluMpole, why?12:34
Flynsarmycwillu, is te open source geforce driver any good? would itborkmy system trying to install it?12:35
TelQuel_fosco_, though I got it to apply for the various windows it disappeared as soon as I closed the terminal12:35
fosco_TelQuel_: when you clse the terminal you close emerald12:35
aysFlynsarmy better use yours graphic card tool for the res change12:35
cwilluFlynsarmy, doesn't have 3d accel as far as I know12:35
StroganoffMpole: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repositories12:35
Mpolecwillu: so that i can download the skype package for ubuntu from medibuntu.org12:35
ezerhodenTelQuel_: try launching with a trailing & or use alt-f2 to run it ?12:35
fosco_TelQuel_: you'd better use fusion-icon to change compiz options12:35
Flynsarmyays, that's he plan but if i ever wat dual monitor i have to restart x using the proprietry one. which is just a inconvnient as areboot12:35
cwilluFlynsarmy, I think nvidia's going to support xrandr soon'ish, so in another 6 months to a year, we might have a better approach12:35
MpoleStroganoff: thanks12:36
V^_^Vcan you buffer over flow?12:36
=== jack_ is now known as navras
cwilluMpole, skype has a deb file you can just install, you don't need to set up medibuntu to do that12:36
V^_^VÇѱ¹ÀÎ ÀÖ³ª¤Ñ¤Ñ?12:36
TelQuel_fosco_, alright well I am obviously fairly new to this... so do you mean to say there is no way to actually make it so that my GUI always appears with that theme?12:36
cwilluMpole, download the deb file from skype, and double click it12:36
fosco_TelQuel_: there are many ways to do that12:36
fosco_fusion-icon is one of them12:37
TelQuel_fosco_, well which way is the easiest? haha.12:37
Rencxcwillu: ok ty but if i want install Open Office from tar.gz what i need do?12:37
ichati install  8.10 on my acer aspire 9303 wsmi  laptop and   sound playback works fine,  - but  there is 2 problems...12:37
aysTelQuel if its compiz/beryl theme, it can only work while compiz is active12:37
cwilluRencx, don't12:37
ActionParsnipyo yo yo12:37

ichat1 being that my  build in mic  doens't seem to work  -12:37
ActionParsnipichat: does the mic work with any apps at all12:38
ichatnope -12:38
cwilluRencx, go to http://download.openoffice.org/other.html, and use the linux deb12:38
TelQuel_ok it is installing12:38
ichatit sais no recording device or so found/12:38
Rencxcwillu: but for other files12:38
cwilluRencx, what other files?12:38
KnOpSyhello12:39
cwilluRencx, in general, anything even remotely mainstream is available as a deb or a repository.  Try to avoid using tar.gz's, .run's, zip's, etc12:39
ActionParsnipichat: run lspci   what does it say your sound card is?12:39
TelQuel_fosco_, alright so how do I access compiz once it is installed? does it go into my applications or is it in system prefs?12:39
Flynsarmycwillu, If i fn+lc and increase res to 1680 then switch back to laptop monitor without resising down first, will it break my laptop?12:39
slavicsomebody can help me?12:39
TelQuel_found it12:39
ActionParsnip!ask  slavic12:39
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about ask  slavic12:39
fosco_TelQuel_: just try, it is easy12:39
MpoleStroganoff: i tried the command sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list but it produced an error... wget parameters12:39
slavici need to add extra layouts at xubuntu keyboard12:39
aysTelQuel you should add Compiz autostart option in the System>>Preferences>>Sessions, Add startup, call it whatever you wanna and add this as command: "compiz--replace" without quotes, that way, when you reboot, compiz will start automatically and you should be able to use the theme you want, if you set Theme Manager to Emerald12:39
MpoleStroganoff: what could be wrong?12:39
cwilluFlynsarmy, no, it should just give you a bigger virtual desktop until you resize it12:39

cwilluMpole, don't use medibuntu, install the deb file from skype like I told you12:40
cwilluRencx, they're not designed for ubuntu, people have already gone through the work to make packages that work with our package managers, so that install/uninstall work properly12:40
ActionParsnipichat: what does lspci say your sound card is?12:40
cwilluRencx, they'll work, but uninstalling may or may not work, the application menu may or may not get the icon, other related features may not work properly with the system, etc12:41
TelQuel_fosco_, ok I have the emerald decorations on in compiz fusion but I cannot apply the theme via terminal anymore for whatever reason12:41
Rencxcwillu: ok so every program must have deb package?12:41
slavicsorry but editing xorg.conf file didn't help me12:41
slavici use xubuntu 8.1 now12:41
cwilluRencx, not 'must', but you definately want to use a repository or a deb if you can12:41
Mpolecwillu: it doesnt work from skype... the connection isnt stable, it breaks... the latest attempt i made reached 1.3 MB, instead of the full package12:42
cwilluRencx, there's not much out there that won't have it12:42
ActionParsnipcwillu: if you compile, you can make a deb out of the generated binary12:42
slavicany ideas?12:42
=== TelQuel_ is now known as TelQuel
cwilluMpole, then you've got connection problems, medibuntu won't help you (it's probably the same reason the other won't work)12:42

b14ckhey, i just installed kubuntu, whats the command to search for a program via command line?12:42
slavicyes12:42
TelQuelfosco_, look, I know I'm being somewhat annoying but I am pretty new to this and want to see this theme in action because it looks great.12:43
ActionParsnipcwillu: compiling can be done, for newbs its not so advised12:43
=== xxploit_ is now known as xxploit
slavici rebooted my sistem after editing12:43
cwilluActionParsnip, it's also pointless when you're 'compiling' software that's already been packaged for your specific distro :p12:43
zambais it a way to reveal what options were used when mounting a samba share using gvfs?12:43

cwilluActionParsnip, you can go on 'but not if, but not if' all night, it doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of installations are very well served by the existing system12:44
TelQuelfosco_, I have compiz running in the userbar up top and everything is on... how do I apply the theme?12:44
ActionParsnipichat: can you paste the whole line please12:44
Rencxcwillu: maybe you now how i can mount iso images?12:45
fosco_TelQuel: open emerald theme manager and clic on the theme you want12:45
ActionParsnipcwillu: oh i totally agree, but compiling does have advantages12:45
ichatcommin up12:45
fosco_that's all12:45
cwilluActionParsnip, if there was a big win to be had from that, without causing stability issues, I guarentee ubuntu would already be doing them though12:45
ActionParsnipcwillu: it does, check out apt-build12:45
cwilluRencx, you should be able to directly view them12:45
ActionParsnipcwillu: it uses deb-src instead of deb12:45
cwilluActionParsnip, no, I meant, we'd be using the later compiler :p12:45
TelQuelfosco_, I click on it and nothing happens.12:45
cwilluand compiling everything that way in the first place12:45
hwildeI need to upgrade to openoffice v3.0, what is the right way to do this?12:46
cwilluActionParsnip, if you want gentoo, you know where to find it :p12:46
ActionParsnipcwillu: i already have a gentoo box ;)12:46
Rencxcwillu not view but run like CD12:46
zambahwilde: i wonder about the same12:46
cwilluRencx, what cd exactly?12:46
fosco_TelQuel: make sure you are using emerald, mostly sure you are using gtk-window-decorator, that can be changed in fusion-icon options12:46
sinani have just installed 8.10 on my laptop which previously ran 8.4, I can see a significant drop in speed. The utilization of the CPU never reaches 100% though. Anyone has any idea what's going on?12:46
hwildezamba, yeah the repos only give v2.4 even with all updates12:46
slavicthere are someone who use xubuntu 8.1 and use 2 or more keyboard layouts?12:47
SiDiRencx: you can install Gmountiso to do it graphically (either the command is "sudo mount <file.iso> /media/<mountdirectory> -t iso9660 -o loop")12:47
zambahwilde: yup12:47
TelQuelfosco_, I already switched that to emerald12:47
SiDiRencx: you can mount it to /media/cdrom0 and it'll be *exactly* as if it was a CD12:47
zambahwilde: you can of course just manually install the packages for 3.0, but i am too looking for the "ubuntu/debian" way of doing it12:47
TelQuelfosco_, Windows Decorator is set to emerald in compiz fusion12:47
fosco_TelQuel: maybe that theme is buggy, try any other one12:47
hwildezamba, yes that is specifically the question12:47
alcoholI have made a bookmark to smb://ip/folder12:47
aysTelQuel, have you imported the theme into Emerald Theme manager?12:47
alcoholbut how can I open said folder in other apps when browsing for it?12:48

cwilluzamba, hwilde, they have deb files available for download, there's also repositories in launchpad ("ppa")12:48
ichatthats all i get12:48
Rencxcwillu: like i have some windows programs on ISO. SiDi ty for advice12:48
TelQuelfosco_, yeah it's imported and highlighted in emerald theme manager, could be that the theme is designed for an older ubuntu version or something12:48
ActionParsnipalcohol: you may have to add it in there, if you need the files in other ways, i'd suggest smbmount to mount the smb share12:48
hwildecwillu, why dont the ubuntu repos have v3.012:48

hwildecwillu, so can I add jaunty-proposed repos and apt-get it that way ?12:49
zambahwilde: see the url i gave you12:49
slavici found such a info:12:49
slavicThe X.Org configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) still has InputDevice entries for the mouse and keyboard, but they are ignored now because input-hotplug is used. The keyboard settings now come from /etc/default/console-setup; to change them please use sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup. After that, HAL and X need to be restarted (e.g., by rebooting your system).12:49
cwilluhwilde, ... no12:49
cwilluhwilde, that'll just break stuff12:49
TelQuelfosco_, that was totally it, it would appear the theme is bugged.12:49
zambamanually installing debs will break stuff, yeah12:49
cwilluhwilde, "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main" has oo3 packaged, there might be a packport for intrepid eventually12:49
hwildecwillu, so there is no repo way to get OO v3.0 ?12:49
zambahwilde: again, see the url i posted12:49

ActionParsnipfsancho: what if you reboot the AP12:56
taliakbymy farts dont bother me12:56
cwilluzamba, gvfs isn't mounting a samba share, gvfs is a replacement for filesystem mounts12:56
zambacwillu: ok? so gvfs is a wrapper around something else? like smbmount?12:56
cwilluzamba, gvfs mounts are accessible through the filesystem at ~/.gvfs/shares/, but that's not at all related to fstab12:56
cwilluzamba, no, it's not a wrapper12:56
RencxActionParsnip: wallpapers.. how i can insert them in presentation12:56
zambacwillu: well.. i basically need to know what options are being used, so i can replicate the same in my /etc/fstab for a system-wide and permanent mount12:57
cwilluzamba, it's a library for gnome apps to directly use gvfs-accessible locations, not going through the file system12:57
ActionParsnipRencx: you could have them as background images12:57
zambacwillu: ah, ok12:57
cwilluzamba, you'd need to look at man mount, looking for cifs and smb12:57
ichatActionParsnip:  - lol so im screwed...  and here i was thinkin that my webcam would be THE problem :P12:57
ActionParsnipRencx: they are simple jpgs like any other12:57
TelQuelfosco_, how do I make each window translucent?12:57
zambacwillu: yeah, but that just gives me the available options, not the options used by gvfs12:57
cwilluzamba, gvfs isn't using those options12:57
ActionParsnipichat: some are happpily supported12:57
cwilluzamba, gvfs is not using 'mount' at all12:57
fosco_TelQuel: this is not a good idea, are you sere?12:58
ActionParsnipichat: some cards need weird alsa options12:58
zambacwillu: i understand that, but it still has to use something equivalent, right?12:58
Dr_williszamba,  gnbome sort of 'browses' the shares - not mounting them.  Lilke cwillu  says12:58
cwilluzamba, no, it doesn't :p12:58
RencxActionParsnip: yes i understand but how can i set image in open office as background?12:58
cwilluzamba, it talks directly to the shares12:58
zambaDr_willis: it still makes an excellent guess for charsets and permissions12:58
Dr_williszamba,  you can easially mount shares manually from the command lines and  via fstab.12:58
TelQuelfosco_, why do you say it's not a good idea? I just like it to be slightly see-through... makes the theme look a lot cooler.12:58
zambaDr_willis: not with correct permissions and charset, which gvfs makes an excellent job at12:58
Dr_williszamba,  when it works... :) ive had it not work quite a bit for me12:58
cwilluzamba, what gvfs uses internally to connect doesn't help you at all as far as mount and fstab is concerned12:59
Dr_willisso i manually mount most of my samba shares12:59
ichatwell my sound out works fine - just not the mic - witch would be helpfull for skype :P12:59

balonyOK, has anyone seen this before. When I came to my computer today the disk was full, it was my home pratition that was full. But when I analyzed it, there was no big files/dirs to support this. Then after a reboot the machine does some auto mv from my ~ and then im back to normal. (couldnt see what it moved). What kind weird event is this??13:13
cwilluzamba, you have to use whatever encoding the server is using though13:13
MpoleActionParsnip: why doesnt this -- > sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list work?13:14
cwilluzamba, this is the encoding used to convert to unicode, getting it wrong doesn't make it magically work13:14
zambacwillu: how can i figure out what charset's being used by the server?13:14

guido_hi, when i try to install ubuntu 8.10 desktop it crashes, i get a pixel mashup and it hangs, also in safe mode, is there a way to install ubuntu in textmode?13:50
SiDimiller7: or you can try to install the debian's deb in ubuntu but i REALLY don't guarantee the result xD13:50
cwilluguido_, use an alternate cd13:50
SiDiguido_: you can try the alternate CD for text mode13:50
cwillu!alternate guido_13:50
ubottuError: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)13:50
cwillu!alt | guido_13:51
ubottuguido_: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.  Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent13:51
enilinux+special hardware=you are screwed!13:51
miller7SiDi: I don't know how to install the debian's deb... just download the deb file and do dpkg to it?13:51
miller7I come from Gentoo where I just compiled everything via emerge13:51
guido_ok thank you cwillu13:51
SiDimiller7: with gdebi you can install a .deb by double clicking it:p13:52

TelQuelfosco_, yeah that's good so far but it still has all the weird effects from compiz fusion13:52

Piciadam_: Thats not helpful, hes tring to install a plain .deb13:53
cwillufosco_, prefs | appearances | effects | set to none13:53
TelQuelfosco_, for the time being, I just don't find that the effects add much for me right now and they make it harder to navagate13:53
cwilluTelQuel, ^^^ (sorry)13:53

ActionParsnipmmm4m5m: which, as jessie says, is 64bit14:00

ActionParsnipmmm4m5m: 32bit only reads 3.2Gb RAM effective, depends if you want to reinstall14:01
ActionParsnipmmm4m5m: and what you use your pc for14:01
mmm4m5mthank you all for help. Have to consider more do I need 64bits with 4GB or not14:01
mmm4m5mActionParsnip: home PC but with virtual machines14:02
ActionParsnipmmm4m5m: id go 64bit with Vms14:02
ActionParsnipmmm4m5m: you could try it a while, see which you think runs better14:02
mmm4m5mActionParsnip: not good with linux, want to skip additional issues with 64bits software... that is my concern14:02
fosco_mmm4m5m: no special issues14:03

somethingtodoAndreasMadrid:  It's possible, but only if the space on disk has not been overwritten with new files.  When linux deltes stuff, it doesn't kill the data, it just makes the file not show in the directory anymore.     You can google it, but here is one page that talks about it.   It's not easy.   http://adminlinux.blogspot.com/2006/09/recover-from-rm.html17:27

hwildelegate, chown the mountpoint of your fedora partition to your current user.18:50
ubuntu_is_dabesthow to allow it ?18:50
erUSULpuremichael: run cpufreq-info18:50
kaoadam: remastersys18:50
unoplegate, no, a process cannot change the environment of another .. that's just the way unix is built .. so an external process (this ficticious cd) cannot change the current directory of your current shell18:50
hwildeunop, he needs to change the permissions on the mountpoint.18:50

gonzojivemy backspace key is not working in emacs when I SSH into my 08.04 Ubuntu server.  It does work SSHing into a different Ubuntu server that's a little older (forget exactly what version).  The backspace works in the command prompt, but not in emacs18:51
legatehwilde: How do I do that? Actually, both my ubuntu and fedora profile are on a separate home partition.18:51
unoplegate, you could do something like this instead.   sudo bash -c "cd somewhere/ && bash"18:51
adamkao: thanks18:51
nightrid3rlaeg: right ctrl button18:51
hwildelegate, sudo chown <youruser> /mountpoint18:51
bullgard4ifconfig returns 4 times "Link encap". What is meant by 'link encap'? link encapsulation?ẞ Why is this important?18:51
hwildeunop, that would just cd him into a directory where he has no permissions :/18:51
laegnightrid3r: yes this unlocks the mouse but only when the vbox window is active, which it's not :(18:52
hwildebullgard4, that is what type of encapsulation the packets have, typically Ethernet.  or Local loopback18:52
laegnightrid3r: i tried alt+tab but it won't move from the irssi input line18:52

oCean_chumbo: what's your flashplugin? flashplugin-nonfree works fine for me18:56
puremichaelerUSUL, thanks; you're right.... but even the adjustments to powernowd don't work... i've configured it to 'leap' (because 1.8ghz don't matter anyway) but its always the same behavior i think18:57
bullgard4hwilde: I do not understand you very well. What does 'Link encap: Ethernet' mean? That the packets flowing through this interface are encapsulated in Ethernet frames? And what does ' Link encap:Local Loopback ' mean then?18:57
s0101my desktop is bigger than my screen it all happend after i canceled a system update and restarted the computer i updated the nividia diver and it made it look a bit better but not perfect so i upgraded from 8.04, 8.10 and i am back with the first prob18:57

Borboshahwilde, I removed the DHCP-client after setting the static settings as I have had issues with it taking over the static IP randomly.19:09

Jack_Sparrows0101 But once you try to use the 180 from nvidia it makes a mess19:13

unopwolter,  i believe ubuntu already has that setup .. it's just a matter of logging out and logging back in19:13
erUSULwolter: sorry it is in ~/.profile not in ~/.bashrc19:13

cbilljonesyouve tried with another burner though?19:13

lilendian_Gwolter, so the question remains, there must be be some local user config thats messing up my login. gdm runs fine- good resolution. But as soon as I log in, i have no input signal supported.19:23
oCean_phorensic1: not sure, not using nvidia... Just pointed him to a typo..19:23
biebhow can I connect to an ubuntu box remotely like 'rdesktop" in win19:23
lilendian_GWhere'd I go to change that?19:23
oCean_bieb: use vnc19:23
lilendian_Gi believe its the one set from gnome-display-settings19:23
s0101here we go what should i do in dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg19:23
oCean_bieb: you'll need a vnc server on one machine and a viewer on the client machine19:23
bieboCean_: vnc or tightvnc?19:23
bazhangkao, okay not sure about that installation method, that sounds problematic with the minimal19:24
wolterlilendian_G, are you logging into another user?19:24
phorensic1s0101: Like oCean_ said its dpkg-reconfigure no spaces19:24
kaobazhang: Yes, it is annoying :(19:24
wolterlilendian_G, oh19:24
NecrosanOK, here is my problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/109972/19:24
s0101i am in19:24
lilendian_Gyeah, i've had two users. this is just a temporary one though.19:24
s0101next?19:24
Necrosancan anyone help me fix that? thanks.19:24
s0101i have the blue screen19:24
wolterlilendian_G, well, i would suggest you to create a new user, and if that user works for you, then you should probably delete the configurations at home that relate to input and video stuff19:24
phorensic1s0101: Go through the process19:24
s0101ok19:25
wolterlilendian_G, then try to log into your old user19:25
lilendian_Gwolter, yeah, but what? i've already looked in .gnome2 and gnome2_private.19:25
oCean_bieb: in the ubuntu repos are vnc4server and vnc4client19:25
biebok cool19:25
lilendian_Gnothing in there that remotely registers with screen resolution / x config19:25
estudiantes0101: Sorry, it was "dpkg-reconfigure", no space.19:26
s0101why does it ask me about my keyboard?19:26
phorensic1s0101: I am under the impression that this isn't going to work for you but it is the old way of fixing it. Depending on how your xorg is configured it will/will not work. Im thinking that reinstalling the nvidia drivers is the way to go, and not through the terminal. I would use the restricted drivers application, and make sure you update your system before you start it19:26
phorensic1s0101: Its just part of the process19:26
wolterlilendian_G, no problem.. save all the configs of your applications you want (or even better, move all your directory to another one, for example $ mv /home/lilendian /home/lilendian/backup19:26
wolterlilendian_G, and relog/log19:26
wolterlilendian_G, the system will create a default configuration for you19:27
phorensic1s0101: Xorg saved keyboard information mouse information and screen information, most importantly the screen configuration settings19:27
s0101oki process is done now19:27
zimbresWhy my xterm is much slower than a console terminal?19:27
phorensic1s0101: Did it ask anything about configuring your monitor?19:27
s0101yes19:28
slipsttotem is full screen when I start it and it won't go to normal mode. any ideas on how to fix it?19:28
s0101and after that about keyboard19:28
plaziais there a thing you can cat somewhere that has like the version of ubuntu you are running? something like (but not) cat /proc/releasename or something like that?19:28
kaoThank you Everyone who has helped me19:28

IyunkateusThanks19:30

AJC_Z0Iyunkateus: The shell you use for commands is that you use for scripts19:30

bazhangTweak66, not necessary19:32
biebhow can I share a directory between ubuntu and the host? How about peripherals (printers, usb)?19:32
woltererUSUL, apparently it is executed everytime one runs a terminal, so if I add 'bin/' i run the terminal and it says 'bashrc: bin/ is a directory' as if it was expecting some command.19:32

_polto_how can I remove all MAN pages and all the documentation ? (I am trying to regenerate a LiveDVD after adding some application. I added some real big apps, so now I need to free some space to make it enter in the 4.2 ISO limit.)20:09

ryanpriorMy notification area claims that there is "1 file operation active" but that operation has hung and not gone away for many hours. Is there a way I can purge it?20:09
mfdavidwow, I was thinking ubuntu was easier to do that. Too bad. A newbie would never be able to create a shared dir without samba :(20:09
_polto_Or do you have any other Idea on what could I remove ?20:09

MikyMousephorensic, my monitor i sbrand news, and shows prefectly everything that is graphical, the problem is with TEXT stuff20:13
MikyMouseDoes anyone have any idea about what can I do?, thanks20:14
phorensic1MikyMouse: that seems a little backwards usually the gfx stuff will be borked and the text stuff will be cool20:14
phorensic1MikyMouse: Did you check the disk make sure it was all good? You sure its in the right language??20:14
MikyMousephorensic, I selected English in the graphical selector, and after that the text menus come up all messed20:15

phorensic1MikyMouse: You said its a server install?20:16
ryanprior_polto_: I'd suggest removing OOo and Evolution, replacing them with lightweight alternatives.20:16

_polto_ryanprior: or maybe there is another solution. Wikipedia page on ISO9660 say about the 2 and 4.2 GB limitation, but say also that freesoftware implementation as mkisofs (cdrtools) can overcome this limitation. But remastersys say: "The compressed filesystem is larger than the iso9660 specification allows for a single file. you must try to reduce the ammount of data you are backing up and try again."20:19

[swb]causing it to overheat20:34
hweedssudo apt get install amarok20:34
hweedslol20:34
[swb]you could try going back to the older restricted drivers20:34
PovAddictbeege: don't think you can... even Wine uses a different format for its registry20:35
ortsvorsteher!sound | Skipity20:35
ubottuSkipity: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP320:35
Bodsda[swb], i doubt it would overheat in under 1 min20:35
[swb]there is a selector doohickey in System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers20:35
jken146PSPdemon, tried swfdec?#20:35
[swb]maybe not20:35
beegePovAddict: aye, found that out the hard way.20:35
PSPdemonsays doesnt exsist O_o20:35
quibblermarcreichelt, http://www.rebelzero.com/ubuntu/installing-ooo-300-onto-hardy-heron/2720:35
Bodsda[swb], yeah but that isnt working for me, no entries in it20:35
PSPdemonbut i think i installed it and stil comes up invalid20:35
[swb]but what else would cause it to work fine then freeze after X amount of time20:35
[swb]unless you are doing something at about X time every time20:36
jken146PSPdemon, the package is called swfdec-gnome20:36

marcreicheltquibbler: thanks, I thought a nice repository was available20:36
[swb]phorensic1, if its idle..20:36
AJC_Z0Bodsda: Delete your xorg.conf and restart gdm, then try nvidia-settings20:37
[swb]Bodsda, are you using Nvidia? if so you can watch the temps for a while, see if they are high when it freezes... its something to check20:37
Slart_beege: not sure if there is a windows registry editor for linux.. seems kind of backwards20:37
quibblermarcreichelt, you have to completely uninstall 2.4 first20:37
[swb]so does anyone want to try and reproduce a bug in gnome panel for me?20:37
Bodsda[swb], will do20:37
Slart_beege: wine does come with a registry editor.. perhaps you can use that in some way20:37
BodsdaAJC_Z0, tried, same problems20:37
beegeSlart_: lol yeah. i changed my system drive letter for kicks and giggles, thinking it would be easy to change from linux X-D20:37

Slart_*laughing20:38
beegeSlart_: haha probably20:38
PSPdemonjken146, ill try it again with vlc since i installed the player...20:38

e3cobeege what files?20:39
quibblermarcreichelt, why?20:39
beegeSlart_: i'm sure there is, i just wanted to do it the hard way20:39
jken146PSPdemon, have you tried avidemux?  I've never used it on swf myself20:39
ortsvorsteherpaul_: just copy recursively all to the new disc20:39
lstarnesremote: if you have apt-file, try apt-file search /usr/bin/m220:39
beegee3co: i'm trying to get to the windows registry from linux in an attempt to change my system drive letter20:40

marcreicheltif I want to remove openoffice.org-console from the console it says something about dependency problems (language-support-translations-en requires thunderbird-locale-en-gb, but that one should not be installed)20:40
PSPdemonuse it for my psp video converting20:40
paul_ortsvorsteher: and what do I do then? don't I need to adapt the drive in gparted to home for example20:40
AJC_Z0Bodsda: So you can run nvidia-settings as root and create a new xorg.conf, but then X misbehaves with that config?20:41
PSPdemon:/20:41
e3cobeege:  wild I can't say I've ever heard that one. How about using regedit through wine?20:41
BodsdaAJC_Z0, yes :)20:41
_polto_anybody know how to create a ISO image with a file bigger then 4.2 GB ? Wikipedia page on ISO9660 say cdrtools can do that.20:41
PSPdemonavidemux doesnt open the file D:20:41
jken146PSPdemon, do you just want to extract the sound track?20:41
ortsvorsteherpaul_: if i understood you correctly, you want to insert a newer and bigger disc in your box?20:41
Slart_beege: have you checked if perl or python has a windows registry editing module? might be worth checking.. it might also be using some windows low level api for the actual editing20:41
e3coAlso dosbox might have that exe20:41
NecrosanWhat's the update-manager equiv for the console?20:41
AJC_Z0Bodsda: It might help to pastebin your Xorg.0.log from a crashed session with the nvidia xorg.conf20:41
NecrosanWant to try updating to jaunty to see if they fixed my packagedeps.20:41
quibblermarcreichelt, did you read the how to that i sent you?look at step 320:41
phorensic1polto: In windows I had a program called folder2iso20:41
Slart_Necrosan: apt-get and friends, I guess20:41
BodsdaAJC_Z0, ok, will do, not right now though cause im a bit busy, but will in a bit, thanks :)20:41
beegeSlart_: ooo, that's a good idea. i'll poke around with it a bit20:41
beegee3co: i tried that. it only edits wine's registry. this is on a separate partition. good idea though20:42
e3coNecrosan:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. To open update-manager it is # sudo update-manager20:42
_polto_phorensic1 I am not very windows :)20:42
Necrosane3co: Just switch out intrepid in my sources.list to jaunty?20:42
marcreicheltquibbler: I did20:42
marcreicheltI ran "sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-core"20:42
phorensic1_polto_: true nor I it was just an option20:42
Slart_e3co, Necrosan: gksudo update-manager.. never sudo for gui stuff20:42
marcreicheltand that one says that dependencies are broken20:42
NecrosanSlart_: I have no X11.20:42
NecrosanDoing this all from console20:43

KenBW2i restored GRUB using EasyBCD but it just takes me to a GRUB prompt - what have i done wrong?21:00
chrismSlart, hmm let me google it and ill see, I thought maybe it was just because my router by default blocks 80 no matter what, so i tried to change apache2 to run on a differnt port and that just screwed everything up.21:00
cool2k2paul_: ok, is the new drive empty?21:00

cool2k2paul_: ok, let's format it with another fs21:01

cool2k2you can use gparted to make it simple21:01
paul_cool2k2: start up gparted ok21:01
Deanychrism: changing the port it runs cant screw anything up.. uinless you ae using SQL too21:02
cool2k2paul_: locate your drive, right click on the partition>> umount it>> right click on the partition and select format with and use ext3 or reiserfs21:02
chrismDeany, yes I am using sql.21:02
askandThe Swedish language has partly disappeared from Nautilus. If I for example rightclick a file I see "open with" instead of the Swedish "öppna med".

KenBW2i restored GRUB using EasyBCD but it just takes me to a GRUB prompt - what have i done wrong?21:04
Slart_chrism: ah.. the isp might be blocking port 80.. that sounds more reasonable than the router doing it21:05
bobbob1016S3 is also amazon't online data storage, haven't been reading what they are talking about though, so could be completely wrong21:05
sachaelJack_Sparrow, Via S3 Unichrome PRO VGA A21:05
chrismDeany, so everything works great its not apache or sql.21:05

letalisis there a console command to countdown a certain number of seconds before returning you to a prompt? or maybe even a bash function that will do it.21:05
chrismthats what i ment21:05
bobbob1016Yeah, not amazon....21:05
paul_cool2k2: done whats next?21:05
Slart_letalis: sleep21:05
letalisthanks Slart_21:05

The_Rebelcan someone help me with XF86 media keys? the OSD pops up but no sound changes occur (volume mute, volume up, volume down)21:06
letalisi didnt need it to physically count, i made a script that uses notify-send to inform that the window manager had changed. but it runs notify-send so quick that it doesnt actually show the bubble properly.21:06
chrismSo the problem definitely lies within my network somewhere, I just figured port forwarding would work but since that didnt my isp is probaly blocking it so Ill have to change the port to 8080 or something I would imagine..21:06
letalisLOL21:06
chrismI did try it though and to no avail everything biffed up21:07
chrismso i went back to 80 and everything was fine again.21:07
bobbob1016zod21, Chrome isn't native yet is it?  If it is native, maybe, but if it's a windows program, you can't21:07
cool2k2paul_: if it is you need to copy the content of /home/ as root so you could use this comand: sudo nautilus21:07

Cpudan80bobbob1016: but to answer your question - yes - if you remove things from the target directory, it is reflected in the symlink21:32
filmorebobob16: There's no flag I know of to single out soft links. But it seems like you should be able to make a script to look for broken softlinks and remove them21:32
filmoreok, nevermind21:32
bobbob1016Cpudan80, Not when I just tried it, they were red in terminal, but not gone.21:32
Slart_mattgman: do you get some kind of error message when you try? do you see anything on the drive at all? what kind of drive is it? regular ntfs? not a dynamic disk?21:32
Cpudan80bobbob1016: test -L tests for symbolic links21:33

joe-macis it considered a bug that .sudo_as_admin_successful is not rm'd when you log out of a session?21:33
joe-macIMO a test -e should exist in the skeleton's bash logout to remove that21:34
bobbob1016Cpudan80, So test -L will test them, then remove the soft links?21:34
askandI get  Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//wacom_drv.so   apparently that wont work cause it should be  Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wacom_drv.so21:34
askandWhere can I change that?21:34
Slart_mattgman: are there any errors in the syslog?21:34
Cpudan80well you'd have to do the removal bit yourself, but test -L will test to see if they are symbolic links (and that they exist)21:34

Cpudan80bobbob1016: you'd probably have to check to see if it is a symlink, then try and follow it - and then read the return value from the cd command21:36
Cpudan80if fail - remove - if succeed, go back, continue21:36

Slart_mattgman: ok.. try doing this.. disconnect the drive (it was an external drive, right?), open a terminal and run this "tail -f -n 0 /var/log/syslog".. now connect the drive again and check that terminal window.. you should have a couple of new lines there now.. use pastebin to paste those lines21:37
cool2k2paul68:  start sesion and then execute "mount"21:37

Jack_Sparrowumbrella You can  use  that other partition for /home or data whatever you want, but if you move or mess with it the uuid will change21:44
Slart_mattgman: have you run a chkdsk in windows on the drive?21:44
Slart_mattgman: nah, that's alright21:45

bazd3ads0ul, did u use it to install ubuntu21:46
mattgmanslart_: i dont have windows on, full ubuntu21:46
cool2k2paul68: nop, now you have to umount /dev/sdc1 (sudo umount /dev/sdc1) and mount it again (sudo mount -a)21:46
Slart_mattgman: ubuntu (or linux for that matter) doesn't come with a checkdisk utility for ntfs21:46
Titan8990Jack_Sparrow: I thought the whole advantage to using UUID over the dev name is because it would not change if moved21:46
quibblerjjansen, if you don't do that if makes /home part of you /partition and your old /home is just another partition but NOT home for ubuntu21:46
teyguntbert: any key. I can press a letter, then an arrow for example. Note: this instance is in vmware.21:46
Jack_SparrowTitan8990 If you resize a drive  it wil change.. uuid is great for removeable devices etc..21:46
mattgmanslart_: i don't want to go back to windows, but if i must to get my pictures (use them for work)21:46
d3ads0ulwhen i try to put a cd-r in it, it shows up as a cd-r for a second the auto ejects21:46
bazd3ads0ul, did u install all the ubuntu updates after your initial install21:47
teybut it only happens after i crash a python script21:47

d3ads0uli did install all updates21:47
cool2k2paul68: ok, no problem so far, right?21:47
Slart_mattgman: you might be able to access the drive from a vm.. or just find any windows computer to borrow for the time it takes to do the scandisk21:47

Titan8990Jack_Sparrow: I wasn't around for his question, just learning a bit based on your comment. Personally all my stuff is dev name but I don't move my drives or use Ubuntu but I have noticed all major distros use UUID by default now21:48
bazd3ads0ul, its much easier to see your msg's if u use my name in the beginning because they get highlighted21:48

ubottuizzy__: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs21:54
Titan8990danishjordan: but I do recommend a small switch, they are fairly cheap and will save you a headache21:54
nightrid3rdanishjordan: get yourself a cheap switch21:54
umbrelladanishjordan you should be able to just connect an ethernet cable between them and they will just recognixe each other, worked for me somehow21:54
d3ads0ulbaz, cannot unmount volume an application is preventing21:54
Titan8990umbrella: has to be a crossover cable....21:54
Brack10Security settings on my DNS server prevent name resolution for non-windows systems.  Anyone know how I can make an exception for my Ubuntu box?  Would this be a #windows question also?21:54
paul68cool2k2: can't useumount it tels me that its busy21:55
danishjordanI'm gonna try that umbrella.21:55
danishjordanbrb wishmeluck21:55
umbrellaTitan8990: really, i didnt need one....hmmm, mustve been a fluke21:55
cool2k2paul68: did you closed your gnome session?21:55
Moodis there a driver wrapper for graphics cards, much like ndiswrapper?21:55
Slart_Brack10: windows question.. sounds like something you need to set on the dns server21:55
Titan8990Mood: no21:55
umbrelladanishjordan: i would suggest keeping the switch in mind in case my idea doesnt work21:55
nightrid3rumbrella: straigt cable works if only one side has autodmx or automdx ports21:55
paul68cool2k2: couldn.t will reboot adapt the fstab before logging into gnome21:55
MoodTitan8990: how come?21:56
bazd3ads0ul, do u know of any processes or apps that could be trying to lock it or access it? Perhaps in your system tray or look in System Monitor21:56
Titan8990umbrella: he left almost right after you suggested that21:56
cool2k2you can close it with ctrl+alt+backspace21:56
umbrellaTitan8990: darn, ah well, if it doesnt work he can yell at me and get better help21:56
d3ads0ulbaz, no, only thing i have open now is x-chat21:57
Titan8990Mood: IMO is a miracle we even have ndiswrapper. the ndis API is different than the API windows uses for gpus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NDIS21:57
Titan8990Mood: the major GPU vendors, ATI and Nvidia, have provided proprietary drivers so I guess there really hasn't been a need for its development21:58
Titan8990Mood: plus the almost total lack of gamin in Linux.....21:58
MoodTitan8990: ok. i was thinking of backwards compatibility for older hardware21:58
paul68cool2k2: ok back to square 121:58
Titan8990umbrella: I wouldn't worry about it, I believe that guy still has a lot to learn and this will all be part of the experience21:58
Titan8990Mood: What card do you have?21:59
cool2k2paul68: ok, are you in your gnome session normaly??21:59
Moodvoodoo card21:59
adi1hi all21:59
MoodTitan8990: voodoo card21:59
adi1what can I use to record streaming video from web?21:59
adi1in ubuntu hardy21:59
paul68cool2k2: yes21:59
Titan8990Mood: there are open source voodoo drivers, not sure if they support thing like opengl21:59
cool2k2ok21:59
Titan8990Mood: let me see if I can get you a link to something that you may find useful22:00
adi1flv video on a website called arte +722:00
MoodTitan8990: ah ok. i thought it'd be as simple as using the windows driver with some wrapper. i suppose not however22:00
d3ads0ulbaz, An application is preventing the volume 'W2PFPP_EN' from being unmounted.22:00
CoJaBo-AztecIs there a way to prevent gdm from being able to shut down the system?22:00
cool2k2paul68: to copy the files that you couldn't before you have to close the gnome session, start session with root very carefuly and then copy the entire folder22:00
Titan8990Mood: no, the driver name is: "tdfx", it needs to enabled in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or whatever user-specific file Ubuntu is using these days22:01
cool2k2paul68: ok?22:01
bodwhenever i try to launch firefox it says i need to close a non responsive existing process -- but    killall firefox    says no process killed, top | grep -i firefox also returns nothing -- whats going on?22:01

paul68cool2k2: show me the way22:01
Jordan_Uadi1, Just look in /tmp for the .flv file22:01
MoodTitan8990: thanks for the tips22:01
Titan8990Does anyone know why dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  will not write driver info to xorg.conf?22:01
adi1what is /tmp?22:01
paul68cool2k2: step by step I follow you22:02
adi1a dir?22:02
cool2k2paul68: ok22:02
kbrosnanbod: delete the lock file from your profile in ~/.mozilla/firefox/...22:02
Moodadil: yes22:02
danishjordanYeah, that didn't really work. What was option number 2 again? ;)22:02
KnK0Titan8990: make a copy of cuent xorg.conf, do the reconfigure and copy back the old one :P22:02
bodTitan8990, try   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg22:02
cool2k2paul68: we can do it in the terminal or in the gnome session of root22:02
adi1and then what to do?22:02
Titan8990bod: thanks, wasn't asking for myself but still needed the info :)22:02
Krstnsnis there anyway to do some sort of file recovery?22:02
paul68cool2k2: tell me what to do I follow you what is the most familiar to you22:03
Titan8990Mood: did you catch those two replies?22:03
cool2k2paul68: ok.. mm22:03
Jordan_Uadi1, Look for a file that ends in .flv, if there is one just copy it to wherever you want it22:03
cool2k2paul68: let's do it in the console22:03
Titan8990Mood: copy a backup of xorg then run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg22:03
bodTitan8990, no probs22:03

cool2k2paul68: ok, execute "mount"22:06
paul68done22:06
Titan8990danishjordan: If you only have a couple files that need to be transfered, I would recommend a USB drive22:06
adi1Jordan | firefox is playing the video .flv but in /tmp there is no .flv file22:06
cool2k2paul68:  is there /dev/sdc1??22:06
paul68cool2k2: yes its there22:06

cool2k2paul68: where is it mounted?22:06
Jordan_Uadi1, What website?22:06
danishjordanTitan, it's about 1000 files ranging from 5-10 GB.22:06
quibbleradi1, look for a file that starts with flash22:06

DVA5912Does no one hear me!?22:07
DVA5912Whats an irc chat server for UBUNTU 8.04.22:07

cool2k2paul68: sudo cp -R /home/paul /media/home22:09
danishjordantitan. I'm getting files from a laptop to a desktop.22:09
Titan8990DVA5912: IRC is meant for mass groups of people all in the same chat session22:09
DVA5912Titan8990: what about for a website chat server22:09
cool2k2paul68: ok?22:09

juanfeheloo22:09
Titan8990DVA5912: I know nothing about embedded chat clients other than the fact that they are usually coded in java22:09
grayhaneMood, tnx22:09
Titan8990danishjordan: you can still remove the HDD from one and hook it up to the other22:10
DVA5912Titan8990: i hav a way to emplement an irc chat system to my site but i need to setone up on my computer22:10
cool2k2paul68: is it done?22:10

juanfeare there anyone that has a 1018 printer using in ubuntu?22:10
cool2k2paul68: ok22:10
theguruofgodhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii22:10
Titan8990danishjordan: they make enclosuers for both, or if you are confortable with it you can just set one HDD on top on a anti-static pouch and use a SATA -> USB convertor22:10
cool2k2paul68: yes22:10
Moodgrayhane: np22:10
theguruofgodis ubuntu a good option to use as a server ? for home use ?22:10
njs_I'm having some wifi problems. For some reason it's not listing any wireless interfaces, just eth0 and lo. Anybody have any ideas?22:10
cool2k2paul68: now umount /dev/sdc122:10
paul68cool2k2: how do I check?22:11
Moodnjs_: type lspci22:11
Slart_theguruofgod: yes, it will do nicely22:11
Moodnjs_: or lsusb if it's a usb stick22:11
Titan8990DVA5912: maybe you will find this helpful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_IRC_daemons22:11
Brack10theguruofgod: of course, but you'll need to be comfortable with the command line22:11
cool2k2paul68: edit your fstab so it look like          /dev/sdc1         /home         ext3        ...22:11
njs_There's loads of output; you want me just to past it?22:11
Jordan_Unjs_, No22:11
theguruofgodBrack10, really??? can you not make a home server using the GUI instead22:12
Jordan_U!pastebin | njs22:12
cool2k2paul68:  to check you can do ls /media/home/paul22:12
ubottunjs: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)22:12
Slart_theguruofgod: you can install the desktop version of ubuntu and use it as a server, no problem22:12
njs_Sorry, got unconnected, what?22:12
Moodnjs_: just look for your connected card22:12
Brack10theguruofgod: you can but if anything breaks you'll be hard pressed to fix it with GUI tools22:12
Jordan_U!pastebin | njs_22:12
ubottunjs_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)22:12
phorensic1theguruofgod: Do you want a web server?22:12
Moodnjs_: you don't need to paste the whole output - just scan the lines for your pci or usb wifi card22:13
theguruofgodphorensic, no just a home file / printer server22:13
cool2k2paul68: ok, so after you unmounted your new drive and edited fstab now you can do "sudo mount -a"22:13
phorensic1theguruofgod: oh yah then use the desktop version, ubuntu will be great for that22:13

njs_No luck with S > A > DH22:13
njs_Err, S > A > HD22:14
Moodnjs_: go find the windows driver, sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper, and you're done22:14
paul68cool2k2: done that and now trying to list the ?media/home/paul  cannot access ??22:14
Bodsdaok i just got this message -- rm: cannot remove `/home/bod/.mozilla/firefox/dxnukbr0.default/lock': Read-only file system -- this seems bad, i cant get on firefox to google it either, can anyone help?22:14
njs_I've got no idea where I'd get the windows driver...22:14
Titan8990Mood: there is a lot of times people have to blacklist kernel drivers as well22:14
cool2k2paul68: it's ok, that message is in the wrong place, jeje, check that /dev/sdc1 is mounted in /home and if that is the case try your gnome session again22:14
Titan8990njs_: from the vendor of your laptop22:14
Jordan_Unjs_, Wait a bit before you try that unless you are in a hurry ( the native drivers may work, you may not need windows drivers )22:15
phorensic1theguruofgod: but if your mostly used to windows why not just use windows for that too? No that I ever recommend windows22:15
barazokhi all22:15
barazokPull parsing VS sax parsing: what's better?22:15
MoodTitan8990: eh? blacklist kernel drivers? is that a response to my suggestion to njs_?22:15
Slart_barazok: the best option is... "ask in the appropriate channel"22:15
Titan8990Mood: yes, sometimes there is a kernel driver that will load prior to Window's ndiswrapper driver, in that case, you have to blacklist it22:16
Jordan_Unjs_, Can you try running "lsmod | grep ath" and tell me if it returns anything?22:16
PIRATE_200hola22:16
PIRATE_200XD22:16
Titan8990Mood: or if you are on a distro like slackware or gentoo, you just remove it from your kernel22:16
cool2k2paul68: how is everything??22:16
barazokwhat channel?22:16
Bodsdaok i just got this message -- rm: cannot remove `/home/bod/.mozilla/firefox/dxnukbr0.default/lock': Read-only file system -- this seems bad, i cant get on firefox to google it either, can anyone help?22:16

MoodTitan8990: ah, ok. but i think njs_ haven't tried ndiswrapper yet22:16
Titan8990njs_: those are the madwifi atheros drivers22:16
phorensic1Mood: perhaps but using ndiswrapper should be last choice22:17
Titan8990njs_: do you have a atheros card?22:17
Slart_barazok: I don't know.. XML something.. or #ubuntu-offtopic.. but not this one22:17
cool2k2paul68: check if that is correct, you should have /home/paul22:17
njs_I think so.22:17
barazokk22:17
paul68cool2k2: according to fstab its /home now22:17
Moodphorensic: really? i thought ndiswrapper was fairly well supported... until i saw on wiki that it was offline since Oct 08 for some reason22:17
Titan8990Mood: ndiswrapper is getting phased out completely22:17
MoodTitan8990: what's the replacement for ndiswrapper?22:18
Titan8990Mood: the native linux drivers usually work better, and they are open source, the way we like it22:18
Titan8990Mood: open source drivers that are built as kernel modules22:18

MoodTitan8990: ah ok, now i see where you were going originally about the blacklist in the kernel22:18
Titan8990Mood: using that method, there is usually no need to even configure the card22:18

Jordan_Ucalliope, That is because 7.04 is no longer supported, you can upgrade if you need to but you will need to add the archived ( no longer maintained ) repositories to your sources.lst ( but you need to upgrade somehow, 7.04 is not secure )22:22
Slart_Bodsda: hmm.. nvidia drivers shouldn't really do that..  but I guess a kernel module can mess stuff up if it really wants to22:22

biebok... just installed 8.10 on my gateway here at work. I have dual displays with an ATI video card. I can configure it for one to be the main screen and the other to be a "big desktop" (as they put it in the config utility).

blue112redvamp128: Why rebooting does change anything ?23:20
_Vi_isnt rebooting kinda a windows thing?23:21
Jordan_Ucalliope, If it doesn't work after fixing the typos you may need to change the sources.list and do a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" which doesn't have as many sanity checks as update-manager23:21
redvamp128blue112:  with most computer issues- sometimes a reboot helps because it will cause it to reload all startup items. (that and it should clean up commands in terminal)23:21
pike_blue112: so you sudo apt-get update with same error?23:21
phorensicLinuxJunke: you need to look for the screen section and make sure that the information matches your tv's capabilities23:21
redvamp128blue112:  have you added any lines to your apt?23:22
blue112pike_: It download the packet list, bug at the end, says the same error (and quit)23:22
blue112None.23:22
blue112but*23:22
phorensic_Vi_: Yes it is however there are some instances where rebooting is necessary in linux too... plus if you don't know how to do things manually rebooting is easiest option23:22

phorensicpolishpaul: It's different terminology, A desktop is more than just a window manager, it is also other things. Linux creates modular programs so you have options and you can customize easier, etc. For your purposes though you can probably think of them as the same23:25

Titan8990polishpaul: desktops require a window manager, for example, gnome uses metacity window manager23:26
blue112So ? Can't anyone help me ?23:26
calliopeJordan_U: OK so Im running the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is this going to change the feisty entries to gutsy or should I do that manually23:26
polishpaulphorensic, great answer, ty... how about OpenBox? is that just another Windows, minus the environment?23:27
pike_polishpaul: ps -A  youll see a window manager running and then gnome-session and other gnome apps that give you a gnome panel (toolbar) etc. you could if you wanted kill the WM and run the fluxbox WM instead and all would be fine23:27
unopJordan_U, yea, root can write to any file.  that wasn't it tho .. if a file owned by root is placed in your directory and all write permissions were taken off .. you can still write to the file.23:27
calliopehm it just ended by updating to feisty packages23:27
Jordan_Ucalliope, You do that manually23:27
phorensicpolishpaul: Im not familiar with openbox23:27
calliopeill do that manually now and then I suppose I run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade again and that would be the end of it23:27
phorensiccalliope: dont forget the sudo apt-get update after you add the repository23:28
Jordan_Ucalliope, Yes, you may run into some general upgrade problems of course23:28

redvamp128blue112:  unsure if would work though-- but you could try installing it through the repository..23:29
pike_blue112: that sucks :) you can grab the deb from package.ubuntu.com i think23:29

ShakedownAh, thank you23:32
pike_polishpaul: alot of wms have a --replace switch so in term youd do  windowmanager --replace   or just kill one and launch the other23:32

Titan8990polishpaul: if it does not have a graphical login, you will have to do some configuring to get it to go23:33
Jordan_Upolishpaul, You can usually switch to a different window manger ( note, not desktop environment ) by running "window-manager-name --replace"23:33
Titan8990polishpaul: if you are looking to "switch" to a different WM, as in use it all the time instead of another23:33
pike_mchan: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/excerpt/ssh_11/index3.html23:33

martin___none who can tell me why I have such slow write speeds on my RAID5?23:42
Izinucswoo. what are you looking for for ham stuff.?23:42
Titan8990adam__: partimage that was mentioned by Izinucs it is a GUI for parted23:42
_martin___Hi. On Hardy (latest LTS?) I typically tunnel vnc over ssh with ssh host -L5900:theremotehost:5905 ...then I run 'vncviewer localhost' everything works if I am not using gnome. When I use gnome, the ssh works, but when I use vncviewer it seems to connect but does not bring up any windows.23:42
Titan8990martin___: RAID is slower than single disk....23:42
Titan8990martin___: what type of RAID and how slow?23:43
adam__Titan8990: looking at partimage now, looks like what I might need, thanks =)23:43
phorensicIzinucs: Perhaps your gmail settings are not allowing23:43
IzinucsTitan8990: is it? I thought is was it's own program.. there's a server and client package.. it's also available on the live "rescue cd"23:43
martin___titan: I understand but 2,8MB/s is far too slow right? Even for RAID523:43
wooall sorts, some packet apps, some sstv, most of teh progies i'm used to are unfortunatly windows onlys and a pain under wine but we shall see.23:43
Izinucsphorensic: works in thunderbird just not Evo23:43
martin___Titan8990: It's a linux software raid mdadm23:43
martin___Titan8990: with 4x1TB23:44
pike_woo: ok cool so basically youll boot livecd then plug in a usb pendrive that should automount.  then youll gksudo nautilus in a terminal to open a root file manager and copy/paste anything in /media/sda2 to /media/usb where sda2 is your current harddrive.  hopefully the livecd automounts the hard drive but if not just sudo fdisk -l to find your partitions and then sudo mkdir /media/temp then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/tmp where sda123:44
Titan8990martin___: That would be why, your CPU has to do ALL the work for the RAID23:44
phorensicIzinucs: thunderbird is way cooler than evo anyway.. hmm maybe wrong port selected, its gotta be a setting somewhere.. require encryption???23:44
pike_woo: typically id create a tar file of home that i could untar elsewhere23:44
Izinucswoo.  in synaptic package manager there is a whole section on ham stuff.. another distro probably won't have as much "out of the box" selection.. please use my nick in replys so I can see that you are talking to me.. enter the first few characters and hit tab23:44
Titan8990martin___: You should consider a real RAID controller if you want to get good performance out of RAID23:44
martin___Titan8990: well the mdraid process is only using 10% of the CPU23:44
Titan8990Izinucs: I just checked, you are right, I was thinking of qtparted23:45
woopike - i'm trying it now on the ther laptop, I have 3 in front of me at the moment lol23:45
Izinucsphorensic: no encryption. but signing yes.. openpgp.. doesn't seem to have an option for entering a port number though..like thunderbird.23:45
pike_woo: id second using ubuntu for ham but there are som ham specific distros at distrowatch23:45
phorensicIzinucs: I recall there being a gmail support on how to configure for various clients.. I'd look at that23:46
Titan8990martin___: you will still never see good performance from a softRAID5, typically you would only do a RAID1 or RAID0 with softRAID23:46
phorensicIzinucs: any reason to keep evolution?23:46
Titan8990martin___: I personally wouldn't even do that23:46
Izinucspike_: what makes them ham specific?  just forks with different splash screens?23:46
martin___Titan8990: Ok, so 2,8MB/s is normal, even for software raid?23:46
