[00:00] <ubuntu> okay,  serious and strange issue here... so lets see what we can do;
[00:01] <ubuntu> I have a harddisk failure I'm recouping some lost files using photorec
[00:01] <ubuntu> however this happens to be my large disk,  I have but 30g free on my other hdd in the machine.
[00:01] <ubuntu> the 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 mbr
[00:01] <luke_> ActionParsnip, is it ok to run it or do I have to do that?
[00:01] <ubuntu> I do have a ton of DVDs I can burn these too,  but only one drive and I'm on a live CD at the time
[00:01] <zacken> BLZ: /usr/bin/jockey-gtk
[00:01] <Elipsis> Can someone please help me? There are 199 tools that I need to install, 65 of them debian packages.
[00:02] <ubuntu> is there a way I can mount an image in place of this livecd and use my drive to burn this data so I can continue to extract it from this disk?
[00:02] <BLZ> zacken:  is that how i start it?
[00:02] <Bmap> rww how can I get firefox to load on start up
[00:02] <zacken> BLZ: programm for hardware driver
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> luke_: if a backup is offered, i'd take it
[00:02] <jason> i really need to format this dvd rw
[00:02] <rww> BLZ: /usr/bin/ should be in your path, so you should just be able to run "jockey-gtk".
[00:02] <luke_> ActionParsnip, i dont have a floppy or floppy drive...
[00:03] <BLZ> i see okay
[00:03] <luke_> ActionParsnip, I dont even know what a MBR is, so I'm quite the beginner, dont want to mess up my computer..

[00:04] <luke_> ActionParsnip, I know that, I just dont know what it does, and whether or not I need to back it up before doing this
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> luke_: id research what you are playing with instead of running headlong into a possible catastrophe
[00:04] <Bmap> inik can i bypass the login? so I dont have to type in the username and password when i start up ubuntu

I'm using photorec to extract the files I need.  the total ends up being around 60gb.  my other harddisk is only 60gb and only has 32gb free   Is there a way for me to remove the livecd (ubuntu hh)  and some how still be able to burn a dvd in the drive of the files?  currently if I do this the command

[00:07] <ghone> ubuntu: Have you considered booting from a liveCD image on Flash to free up the optical drive?
[00:07] <exodus_ms> luke_: you need grub if you want to choose
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> luke_: grub will boot linux and windows, the windows bootloader is weak and can only boot windows
[00:07] <grkblood13> does any1 here have server setup through apache that can be accessed online?
[00:07] <jason> nvm i found out how
[00:07] <ubuntu> ghone: can't do it
[00:07] <jason> sudo dvd+rw-format -force /dev/dvdrw
[00:08] <ghone> ubuntu: any other options for bootable removable media or possibility of network booot to free up the optical?
[00:09] <ubuntu> nope
[00:09] <ubuntu> not on this machine
[00:09] <ubuntu> its sort of...in a lot of trouble
[00:09] <ubuntu> but the data is vital
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: do you have a backup?
[00:10] <ubuntu> some of it yeah
[00:10] <ubuntu> but not all of it
[00:10] <Gtwy> hi
[00:10] <ubuntu> problem is photorec doesn't exactly give you a lot to work with as far as filenames go
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> !recover | ubuntu
[00:10] <rudzaki33> ubuntu: and do you try to fix partitions
[00:10] <ubuntu> and sifting through 3000 files is a mess since they all have names like f383jsd.ext
[00:10] <Gtwy> i 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 answers
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: foremost is ok
[00:10] <ubuntu> rudzaki33: yep broke
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: the filenames are stored in the FAT so will be lost if its corrupted
[00:11] <rww> !vnc | Gtwy: have you tried the VNC howto?
[00:11] <Gtwy> i want the vnc service to start when the computer starts
[00:11] <rudzaki33> Good program for recovering testdisk
[00:11] <niten> Hey guys
[00:11] <kabukan1> is there a burning program for ubuntu that will allow burn items over several disks???
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> Gtwy: if you are VNCing over WAN, use an SSH tunnel. VNC traffic is unencrypted
[00:11] <niten> Is anybody else having trouble with 3d, on an Intel driver on a 64-bit proc?
[00:11] <Gtwy> ActionParsnip: i am VNCing through xrdp
[00:12] <Elipsis> ubuntu: TestdISK
[00:12] <robf> but here is my wonder....
[00:12] <break19> here's a useful question.. I have only IDE drives... so why is ubuntu referring to them as scsi drives?
[00:12] <robf> if I have an iso of this livecd
[00:12] <Gtwy> ActionParsnip: already got it working but after a reboot i have to MANUALLY start tightvncserver i cant get it to start automatically
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> kabukan1: you'd need to tar them to span the disk sizes and burn the tar files, then untar them
[00:12] <robf> can I remove this physical one,  and mount the iso?
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> Gtwy: does your pc autologin?
[00:12] <Gtwy> ActionParsnip: no and i feel that would be insecure
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> Gtwy: ok just checking
[00:12] <rww> break19: The Linux kernel pretends that most hard drives, including IDE ones, are SCSI. Has done for a while.
[00:12] <Elipsis> I would like all 65 of my .deb to be installed into a certain directory. I'm getting a new error whilst processing dpkg -i --instdir=/tools/debian hexedit_1.2.12-3_i386.deb: http://mibbit.com/pb/zUMySb How do I fix this error? Or how do I change the default install directory for apt-get?
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> !autorun
[00:13] <Elipsis> !autoplay
[00:13] <break19> rww: for how long has this been happening?
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> !startup | Gtwy
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> BAM!!
[00:13] <grkblood13> anybody hosting their own server here?
[00:13] <Gtwy> ActionParsnip: that is when you log in though
[00:13] <Gtwy> ActionParsnip: once ive logged into my gnome session
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> !boot
[00:13] <robf> ActionParsnip: yeah I know why the filenames are gone
[00:13] <rww> break19: several years. I'm not sure exactly how long.
[00:13] <robf> I'm just saying I can't just reduce the number effectively
[00:13] <robf> I need to burn this whole lot to dvd
[00:14] <rudzaki33> robf: I don't think so
[00:14] <Gtwy> ActionParsnip: i dont understand how to write init scripts
[00:14] <robf> rudzaki33: hrm,  why would that not work?
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> Gtwy: its a symlink to a bash scrpt afaik
[00:14] <robf> rudzaki33: I mean iso or physical disc should it truly matter once mounted?
[00:14] <linuxman410> how do you remove your old openpgp key if u got a new one
[00:14] <rudzaki33> robf:  I about extracting livecd
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> Gtwy: let me see if theres a very specific guide
[00:15] <Gtwy> ActionParsnip: is there a vnc service that comes WITH an init script?
[00:15] <robf> I'm going to try this
[00:15] <Gtwy> ActionParsnip: ive found a couple user created init scripts for "tightvncserver" on google, but none of them work (i hacked around with them for a while trying to see if they just needed tweaking but no go)
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> Gtwy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=16953  post 2 at the bottom
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> Gtwy: although i'd use a+x instead of o+x
[00:17] <Bmap> Firefox will not run at all without the following libraries or packages:
[00:17] <Bmap>     * GTK+ 2.10 or higher

[00:17] <Bmap>     * Pango 1.14 or higher
[00:17] <Bmap>     * X.Org 1.0 or higher
[00:17] <Bmap> if im installing ubunutu from the minimal cd, will I have to install these seperately and if so, would I just use apt-get install?
[00:17] <kabukan1> ->ActionParsnip: dont know if that is possible really, my parents win xp comp fd up so i am rescueing there data with ubuntu would there be a better way???
[00:17] <linuxman410>  how do you remove your old openpgp key if u got a new one
[00:17] <rww> Bmap: Just use apt-get. It'll download all the stuff firefox needs automatically.
[00:17] <break19> rww: well that sucks... hdparm wont let me change dma settings, because the drive "isn't IDE" meh
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> kabukan1: sure, mount the partition as normal (read only is default without ntfs-3g) and then reinstall the windows
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> Bmap: then satisfy it
[00:18] <Bmap> rww ok thx. very cool. i was worried i would have to install everything manually
[00:19] <Gtwy> ActionParsnip: this is what confuses me
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> Bmap: yes, you 'd use apt-get install
[00:19] <Gtwy> ActionParsnip: he says he creates a text file, /etc/init.d/rc.local
[00:19] <LinuxJunke> need help installing a ralink rt2600
[00:19] <Gtwy> ActionParsnip: that file is already there and its full of stuff
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> Bmap: yuo can use apt-cache search to find the package names
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> Gtwy: then use a different name, all the files in that folder get ran according to their number
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> Gtwy: S99 just makes it last, just use a free number
[00:20] <Gtwy> ActionParsnip: do i need to use update-rc.d to add it to the run level or will it load the rc scripts automatically
[00:20] <LinuxJunke> having trouble installing a compusa pci wireless adapter with a ralink rt2600 chipset anyone help me on this?

[00:27] <wat_> is anyone in here? lol
[00:27] <ghone> wat: no
[00:27] <d0wn> jrib: nevermind. the .img file i need is not the iso. it's something inside of the iso that i've got to extract. thanks for your help, though :P

[00:29] <rww> kitche: I talked to him earlier. I should also point out that openpgp is a standard, not a program. gnupg is openpgp-complient.
[00:29] <rww> compliant **
[00:29] <Black0leander> is there anyway to fix it without reinstalling?
[00:29] <linuxman410> yeah i am using gnupg i need to remove first key i have 2 of them
[00:29] <jrib> Black0leander: create a new user and see if it still happens.  That will tell us more.

[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Black0leander: boot to recovery mode, root cosole, rename them and reboot
[00:30] <kitche> rww: true just that he should have said a gnupg key then
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Black0leander: you'll probably find that fixes it

[00:40] <gkffjck> Gtwy I would just look into the "vncserver" meta backage... do an aptitude search vncserver then do some googling this should do what you want.

[00:43] <Gtwy> gkffjck: also, i dont know if this exists or not, but it would be nice if the VNC connection would allow the user to pick the login/password they want to use, instead of everyone connecting into the same user
[00:44] <Claire2009> it'd be nice if someone could answer my question
[00:44] <gkffjck> do some googling on the vncserver package... It or look at x11vnc they both should be useful...

[00:45] <gkffjck> vncserver can be used on a per-user basis.

[00:52] <Khalinexus> Hi! How do i know what is my version of GTK + since a program says i don't have Gtk + 2.+?  I have Intrepid and find odd that it doesn't have 2.+!
[00:52] <wat_> sudo chmod foldername a+w
[00:53] <asmodeus> hi...i just updated to ubuntu 8.10.
[00:53] <Elipsis> How do I link a folder to /usr/sbin?
[00:53] <techII> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109609/ i am specificly trying to run boxee (xbmc based media center software)
[00:54] <wat_> ln folderaddress /usr/sbin
[00:54] <wat_> i think
[00:54] <mats> After doing "chmod foldername a+w" it's still drwxr-xr-x
[00:54] <asmodeus> I can't find the kde control center anywhere...anyone know what the executable name is?
[00:54] <rsyn`Smed> I'm getting "mount: not a directory" when trying to mount an external hard drive automatically through fstab. Can someone please help me?
[00:54] <break19> kcontrol
[00:54] <Panxy> i assume brightness is set here: /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness how could i make this to 100% at system startup ? Cuz it's really annoying setting it each and every time i start ubuntu...
[00:54] <break19> iirc
[00:55] <asmodeus> break19: not there...any idea what package it's in?
[00:55]  * phaze sits down and crries
[00:55] <Gtwy> where is gdm.conf located at? its not in /etc/X11/gdm/ (there isnt even a gdm folder)
[00:55] <techII> Panxy: look at "/etc/rc.local", this script is run when your system boots
[00:55] <Gtwy> nevermind its moved to etc
[00:56] <break19> asmodeus: not really.. havent really used ubuntu much... i'm an ol' debian freak.. givin ubuntu a whirl..
[00:56] <Travis_Touchdown> there is no kcontrol in 8.10, it's called systemsettings
[00:57] <phaze> what do I need to hook up to another computer running winxp??? software wise
[00:57] <break19> samba
[00:57] <Panxy> techII well you suggest me adding the line in there ? maybe there is some setting anywhre else that would set default brightness of the lcd of laptop to 100% at boot time.
[00:58] <mats> This is weird: "chmod 777 foldername" sets permissions of that folder to drwxr-xr-x. What am I missing
[00:59] <cdenny> for managing finances, should I use Gnucash or Grisbi
[00:59] <techII> Panxy: i can't think of any other way to do it, but im not that familiar with everything that goes on after gdm starts
[00:59] <mriedel> hi. i'm looking for a git gui (neither git-gui nor gitk) for gnome whose name i can't remember. it basically just displayed the revision graph (which is all i need). anyone know it
[00:59] <mriedel> ?
[00:59] <break19> ... my ubuntu install is sittin at 15% "calculating files to skip copying" mouse and keyboard are still responding, so far, (which is an improvement from before), as is pings from this machine (also an improvement from previous attempts)
[00:59] <break19> oh. wow.. it only took 20 minutes to decide which files to skip.. lol
[01:00] <techII> anyone know anything about weird problems with X11/opengl apps running from inside chroots?
[01:00] <break19> GDI!!@! I spoke too soon
[01:01] <ghone> break19 I had the same problem a few weeks ago, but it hung for hours.  I eventually tried another copy (same version) and all was good.
[01:01] <break19> eff it. I've spent all damn day tryin to install this. I'm goin back to debian
[01:01] <cdenny> does anyone have an opinion of gnucash vs grisbi
[01:01] <wolter> should i install the latest nvidia drivers for linux? 180
[01:01] <IndyGunFreak> cdenny: i like gnucash..
[01:01] <d0wn> How do I make my internet connection use wlan0 instead of eth0?
[01:01] <wolter> would that cause driver errors later, maybe?
[01:02] <cdenny> IndyGunFreak: k thanks thats what Ill use
[01:02] <Panxy> root@intrepid:/etc# echo "current: 100" >> /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
[01:02] <IndyGunFreak> cdenny: they are both ok, i just prefer gnucash.
[01:02] <Panxy> it wont go that easy...
[01:02] <cdenny> IndyGunFreak: i am talking in #gnucash, they seem nice
[01:03] <techII> Panxy: mine only goes up to 70, i think there is an other file in proc that tells you the values it accepts
[01:03] <mats> d0wn: System -> Administration -> Network lets you modify WiFi/Cable
[01:03] <d0wn> mats: but can I set to use wlan0? my server that is connected via eth0 is running a dhcp server
[01:03] <Panxy> one thing for sure, i can't set it manually with echoing correct values...
[01:03] <techII> Panxy: actually, read the contents of the brightness file, it tells you in there (at least on this laptop)
[01:04] <Panxy> yes but i cannot modify the file...
[01:04] <Panxy> no permission.
[01:04] <Panxy> i mean, write error.
[01:05] <heatmzzr> is there a console based mms player i can use non-graphical?
[01:05] <mats> d0wn: I'm not sure, I use WICD that has a more powerful GUI
[01:05] <wolter> need help building gspca-source....
[01:06] <techII> Panxy: can't think of anything else to do, so if someone else has any ideas...
[01:06] <d0wn> mats: is WICD available in the repos?
[01:06] <IndyGunFreak> d0wn: they have an intrepid repository available.. google "wicd homepage"
[01:06] <rww> d0wn: not for intrepid or earlier, no. There are install instructions on the wicd website.
[01:07] <heatmzzr> is there a console based mms player i can use non-graphical?
[01:07] <prince_jammys> heatmzzr: what's "mms"?
[01:07] <IndyGunFreak> i think he means xmms
[01:08] <heatmzzr> streaming audio
[01:08] <IndyGunFreak> ah,
[01:08] <heatmzzr> can use use gxine text based?
[01:09] <Panxy> audacious > xmms...
[01:09] <prince_jammys> heatmzzr: try cmus or mocp
[01:09] <IndyGunFreak> Panxy: i tend to agree w/ that
[01:09] <zacken> heatmzzr: mplayer [options] [path/]filename
[01:10] <devin_> hey, what's the default root password in ubuntu?
[01:10] <prince_jammys> .. or mplayer, yeah.
[01:10] <heatmzzr> mplayer wont play this stream, only thing i could get to work is gxine
[01:10] <prince_jammys> devin_: none. it's disabled
[01:10] <jrib> !root | devin_
[01:10] <mikebot> Can anyone help me with the following? I have a .nrg and apparently it is PAL (so says my ps3), and so how can I get it to play on said ps3?
[01:10] <nerk1> devin go terminal, sudo passwd root yourpass yourpass
[01:10] <devin_> I tried to su and I couldn't
[01:10] <prince_jammys> tsk
[01:10] <jrib> mikebot: how is this an ubuntu question?
[01:10] <rww> devin_: there isn't one. The root account is disabled by default in Ubuntu. To run programs with administrative options, use sudo or gksudo.
[01:10] <jrib> devin_: read the link ubottu gave you
[01:10] <mikebot> jrib: In ubuntu.
[01:10] <nyaa> Panxy have people suggested turning acpi off?
[01:10] <zacken> nerk1: no thats bullshit
[01:10] <rww> !noroot | nerk1
[01:11] <zacken> use sudo -s
[01:11] <rww> !ohmy | zacken
[01:11] <mikebot> jrib: All of it is taking place in ubuntu, so I imagine that whatever I use to change the file will be an Ubuntu-specific piece of software..
[01:11] <karamazov> hello
[01:11] <Gtwy> i would like to add something to the bot
[01:11] <karamazov> what the hell does sudo: cp: command not found mean?
[01:11] <mikebot> jrib: Or linux based or something, but this is my only resourse.
[01:11] <mikebot> resource
[01:11] <jrib> mikebot: adding "in ubuntu" at the end doesn't really make it on-topic.  What task do you want to accomplish exactly?  You want to burn a .nrg?
[01:11] <karamazov> how can i cd to directories that i don't have permission to read?
[01:11] <Gtwy> this guide shows someone how to setup vnc to run when the computer starts http://www.movingtofreedom.org/2007/02/16/howto-remote-desktop-with-vnc-in-ubuntu-edgy-gnu-linux/
[01:11] <prince_jammys> karamazov: paste the command that caused that error
[01:12] <lvlefisto> i want to run a shell script on session start, how can i do that?
[01:12] <Gtwy> its awesome and it took me 5 minutes to do what took me 6 hours of research today
[01:12] <karamazov> sudo cd /yedek/digerhdd
[01:12] <prince_jammys> karamazov: can't cd with sudo. cd is a shell builtin
[01:12] <mikebot> jrib: Yes, I want to burn a .nrg file and have it play on my ps3... I think it has to be NTSC, not PAL.
[01:12] <Opiemsith1> how do i reformat an encrypted drive that doesn't have a passphrase attached to it?
[01:12] <karamazov> :S
[01:12] <mikebot> jrib: And I'm wondering what (if any) software in ubuntu can make that change.
[01:12] <prince_jammys> karamazov: sudo runs commands in your PATH. 'cd' is built into the shell. sudo can't run cd
[01:13] <nightrid3r> mikebot: its clearly a ps3 question
[01:13] <rww> Gtwy: It'd probably be better to add the information or a link, to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH somewhere
[01:13] <karamazov> do you have any scripts that check if samba stopped and if stopped, starts it again?
[01:13] <jrib> mikebot: as far as I know a .nrg is an image file.  ubottu will send you info on converting it to a .iso so you can burn it
[01:13] <jrib> !iso > mikebot
[01:13] <mikebot> nightrid3r: the ps3 people won't know how to convert it... the problem comes way before the ps3 comes into play.
[01:14] <mikebot> jrib: I downloaded nrg2iso, but it said that it was already an image when I attempted it.
[01:14] <techII> anyone have an idea why a X11/opengl program in a chroot (containing 32bit libraries, etc) would not work when using the X client on the 64bit host machine? (using fglrx)
[01:14] <ryanprior> How do I check my CPU temperature?
[01:14] <evilGUI> Can anyone recomend a web interface for my Ubuntu server?
[01:14] <Gtwy> now i have a real simple problem that i cant seem to figure out
[01:14] <Gtwy> everytime i reboot the computer reverts to DHCP
[01:14] <rww> !lm-sensors | ryanprior
[01:14] <ryanprior> evilGUI: What sort of interface do you need?
[01:14] <evilGUI> I want somthing like cpanel
[01:15] <techII> evilGUI: webmin?
[01:15] <Gtwy> i thought at first it had something to do with "search saturn.local" in the resolve.conf file, but when i remove it gets added again
[01:15] <nerk1> Hello, I just installed ubuntu again, when I booting choosing to press esc to get to the grub chooser thingie, the list are doubled up. Also, when I installed cairo dock just now, none of the applets or anything is showing, the menu choice is there but pressing it causes nothging but an empty window
[01:15] <techII> evilGUI: ebox possibly
[01:15] <evilGUI> Thanks everyone
[01:15] <mikebot> I think ultimately it is the great PAL vs NTSC debate...
[01:15] <nightrid3r> evilGUI: for hosting?
[01:15] <mikebot> jrib: Thank you, by the way.
[01:15] <evilGUI> nightrid3r: nah not for hosting it's just for my use
[01:16] <ABCD> I would like to be able to install ubuntu on this machine (which currently has a couple other distros on it), but I know that my network card requires out-of-kernel drivers (rt2570, to be precise - the rt2500usb driver that ships with the vanilla kernel doesn't work), and was wondering how hard it would be to get everthing set up - I would also prefer *not* to have to burn a cd, again if possible
[01:16] <nightrid3r> evilGUI: webmin then
[01:16] <nerk1>    neither is the cairo-dock showing in system tools thingie, the menu isnt even there :S
[01:16] <Wicked> !bluetooth
[01:16] <karamazov> !openssh
[01:17] <techII> ebox was discussed as a "default" web interface for ubuntu servers awhile back
[01:17] <hubar> Question, how do I set up pulse audio on my ubuntu 8.1? It keeps complaining that connection refused.
[01:17] <techII> but i think it insists on controling more of the system (can't tweek the actual config files) more so than webmin
[01:18] <evilGUI> Also on my server all I have running is apache and mysql and it's taking 111MB of ram out of 256 does that sound about right?
[01:18] <werdnum> evilGUI: Sounds fine.
[01:18] <evilGUI> The amount of memory used keeps going up
[01:19] <ABCD> ok, I realise that that last comment probably prompted a tl;dr... 1) is there any way to install Ubuntu *without* burning (or otherwise obtaining) a CD?
[01:19] <werdnum> evilGUI: Yeah, but does the 'cache' amount go up?
[01:19] <werdnum> !nocd | ABCD
[01:19] <techII> evilGUI: webmin then, ebox uses postgresql iirc
[01:19] <rww> !usb | ABCD: You can install it from a USB flash drive
[01:19] <werdnum> ABCD: There's a section in the online help about that.
[01:19] <evilGUI> werdnum: ah it caches it
[01:19] <hubar> Anyone with good idea of how to set up pulse audio?
[01:19] <rww> !install | ABCD: There are also more esoteric methods linked off the Installation page
[01:20] <werdnum> evilGUI: The 'cached' section of memory usage is stuff that's cached from disk, but which can be put away if the space is needed.
[01:21] <Opiemsith1> how do i reformat an encrypted drive?
[01:21] <ryanprior> rww, thanks.
[01:22] <devin_> I can't get my broadcom (4311) to work
[01:22] <devin_> I tried this "fix", but I can't get it to work
[01:23] <jonathanturner> what's a good place to ask about software packaging?
[01:23] <jonathanturner> if you're interested in packaging software for ubuntu, or whatnot
[01:23] <rww> jonathanturner: #ubuntu-motu
[01:24] <devin_> can someone help me with my broadcom card?
[01:24] <techII> devin_: if you can't find any native drivers, look at ndiswrapper
[01:25] <hubar> Question, how do I set up pulse audio on my ubuntu 8.1? It keeps complaining that connection refused.
[01:25] <baldur> I need help with my browser it doesnt play sound from flash. And i know what to do i've done befor but i cant find the locations of the command lines i need to put it i got them here.  they where on a ubuntu help site ?? anyone understand this ?
[01:25] <devin_> well, I tried this fix that I was recommended, but I can't get it to work
[01:25] <DaveW> devin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_(ndiswrapper)#Broadcom%20BCM4311%20802.11g%20mini-PCIe%20(14E4:4324)%20Wireless%20Adapter%20using%20ndiswrapper%20Installation%20(Plus%20%20NetworkManager%20and%20WPA)
[01:26] <devin_> and my only connection is wireless, I'm using to laptops right now
[01:26] <baldur> I need help with my browser it doesnt play sound from flash. And i know what to do i've done befor but i cant find the locations of the command lines i need to put it i got them here.  they where on a ubuntu help site ?? anyone understand this ?
[01:26] <techII> devin_: from when i was using it (new atheros chipset, wasn't supported by madwifi at the time), it was buggy, and i had to make sure that the madwifi drivers didn't get loaded (/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist)
[01:27] <devin_> I don't know if I've messed it up with this fix though, or if it didn't work, would another one work? would I have to go back and undo everything that I did?
[01:28] <techII> anyone know if there are any issues caused by fglrx and opengl/X between a host machine, and a chroot?
[01:28] <Travis-42> hello, I have thunderbird installed in ubuntu 8.10 but it doesn't show up in the applications menu.  how do I get it there?
[01:29] <IndyGunFreak> Travis-42: are you sure its installed?
[01:29] <Opiemsith1> how do i reformat an encrypted drive with no passphrase?
[01:29] <Travis-42> IndyGunFreak: yes, I can run it from the command line
[01:29] <Travis-42> and add/remove shows it
[01:30] <vz07mk> any server kings here?
[01:30] <techII> devin_: i would usually look back through the process, it might take a bit of judgment
[01:30] <xnevermore> Hey guys. Can someone tell me how to set up a quick, temporary filesharing network between an ubuntu workstation and a windows vista workstation?
[01:30] <devin_> I got a bunch of errors, I don't know what they mean either
[01:30] <xnevermore> ... via ethernet cable directly from one host to the other
[01:30] <IndyGunFreak> Travis-42: right click the menu.. edit menu.. Click the Menu on the left where you want to add it(Internet), New Menu Item.. TYpe: Application, "Name" Thunderbird.. ."Command:" thunderbird... it should assign an icon automatically, but if it doesn't, assign it one by clicking on the pic and navigating to a t-bird icon
[01:30] <Travis-42> thank you IndyGunFreak
[01:31] <vz07mk> looking for server help...please
[01:31] <vz07mk> 8139c+ incompatible chip
[01:31] <vz07mk> on scsi
[01:32] <indiekid97> hey everyone, I have a real quick question, I'm right in the middle of installing ubuntu on my new machine and I was wondering if I could use the FAT32 pagefile partition for swap without formatting it?
[01:32] <techII> the internal workings of weird "black magic" things ndiswrapper, are a bit beyond most people's (and my) grasp (whoever made it had to implement all the features and some of the bugs found in the windows driver interfaces, and has most likely done so at various levels of success)
[01:33] <tsrk> I disabled NetworkManager using "sudo update-rc.d -f NetworkManager remove", but now I want to re-enable it.  How would I do so?
[01:33] <bliZZardz> Q; my sound in Ubuntu Hardy(Acer 64 bit) is totally messed up after doing some changes in pulseaudio. am trying to get things right but looks like i am nowhere close. am hearing a screeching sound almost always - whnever i play any mp3.
[01:33] <techII> xnevermore: samba, possibly some http/webdav thing, if you can find a script that does that
[01:33] <bliZZardz> which is better for skype-on-ubuntu : alsa or pulseaudio?
[01:33] <PB_G3> Action
[01:34] <PB_G3> oops
[01:34] <indiekid97> @bliZZardz: it really doesn't matter
[01:34] <techII> xnevermore: samba is what the filesharing gui tools included with ubuntu use, so it might be easier (just uninstall samba if you don't want it anymore)
[01:34] <indiekid97> skype doesn't do any kind of intense audio development
[01:34] <bliZZardz> indiekid97: anything like 'recommended'?
[01:34] <indiekid97> are you using intrepid?
[01:34] <xnevermore> techII: well that part I know. what I need to know is how to set up the network itself. I assume I need to set up a dhcp server to listen on eth0, but i'm not sure how to do it, especially how to do it temporarily, using network profiles or something
[01:34] <IndyGunFreak> bliZZardz: pulse tends to be more buggy than alsa, but they both should work.
[01:35] <indiekid97> nevermind, I'd just say ALSA because it's more stable
[01:35] <bliZZardz> IndyGunFreak: any idea about the screeching noise?
[01:35] <aegis> Has anyone managed to get audio over HDMI working in Ubuntu 8.10?
[01:35] <techII> xnevermore: get a crossover cable, if you are only connecting two machines
[01:35] <indiekid97> Pulse is mainly for reducing latency when you're recording audio or something
[01:35] <IndyGunFreak> bliZZardz: sorry, i don't do skype... it might be your mic..
[01:35] <xnevermore> techII: I've also read that firestarter will help, and additionally let me share my wireless internet connection with the windows box as a bonus.
[01:36] <bliZZardz> IndyGunFreak: without even skype in picture.this happens even when i play some audio.
[01:36] <IndyGunFreak> bliZZardz: i see... are you using 8.10?
[01:36] <bliZZardz> IndyGunFreak: Hardy
[01:36] <techII> xnevermore: yes, iirc it will run a dhcp server for you, haven't used it though
[01:36] <PB_G3> Do you guys know anything about getting ubuntu on the OLPC XO?
[01:36] <d0netsFN> hey this is prolly a windows question
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> bliZZardz: that might be it, i've always felt pulse was rushed in hardy... its still not perfect in Intrepid, but way better than hardy.
[01:37] <d0netsFN> but i just installed a new hard drive
[01:37] <nibsa1242> how can I temporarily manually bring up and set the IP for eth0 on my machine?
[01:37] <bliZZardz> followed the sound troubleshooting wiki link - but of no avail.
[01:37] <d0netsFN> now when i select the vista longhorn bootloader from grub, it says bootmgr missing
[01:37] <techII> xnevermore: if you are fine with editing configuration files look at dnsmasq, its simple and a lot of home routers use it
[01:37] <d0netsFN> any idea how to fix this?
[01:37] <bliZZardz> IndyGunFreak: how do i disable pulse?
[01:37] <baldur> I need help with my browser it doesnt play sound from flash. And i know what to do i've done befor but i cant find the locations of the command lines i need to put it i got them here.  they where on a ubuntu help site ?? anyone understand this ?
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> bliZZardz: i believe its in the sound options.
[01:37] <xnevermore> techII: yes, the other problem is that firestarter seems to conflict with NetworkManager in that NetworkManager won't let me have two network interfaces enabled at the same time, so firestarter reports that eth0 is not ready
[01:37] <nibsa1242> IndyGunFreak: bliZZardz Pulse was very rushed, didn't work at all in Hardy for me on my laptop, and I it didn't work in Intrepid after the first update.
[01:37] <techII> xnevermore: right now im assuming you have the physical connection taken care of
[01:37] <vz07mk> anyone know how to make a peanot buttter and jelly computer
[01:38] <xnevermore> techII: that is correct
[01:38] <PB_G3> baldur: I've had that problem too, I fixed it by reinstalling flash
[01:38] <nibsa1242> baldur: what version of flash are you using?
[01:38] <IndyGunFreak> nibsa1242: i've had no problem w/ it in Intrepid, but it was awful in hardy
[01:38] <bliZZardz> nibsa1242: what are you using then?
[01:38] <techII> xnevermore: NetworkManager isn't made for a machine that has more than two connections, though i think newer versions (not included in ubuntu yet) might have done something about it
[01:38] <baldur> nibsa1242:  flash 10 the latest
[01:39] <baldur> PB_G3: i have allredy reinnstalld flash
[01:39] <techII> xnevermore: so you might have to make the choice between autoconfiguration and shared internet ...
[01:39] <PB_G3> purge it then
[01:39] <nibsa1242> bliZZardz: Alsa
[01:39] <xnevermore> techII: I'll read up on dnsmasq, although like I said, I don't want this setup to be permanent, so altering global system files might be inconvenient
[01:39] <baldur> PB_G3:  how do i do that ?
[01:39] <bliZZardz> nibsa1242: any idea with the screeching sound?? i get to hear some interference even when i type!!!
[01:40] <PB_G3> Synaptic Package manager
[01:40] <Gtwy> i just spent a half hour struggling to find that all i had to do was remove network manager
[01:40] <Gtwy> :P
[01:40] <Gtwy> that app is useless to me
[01:40] <nibsa1242> IndyGunFreak: I have not issue with pluse on my Desktop, but there is apparently a known issue with the soundhardware in my laptop and Ubuntu's implementation of pulse
[01:40] <nibsa1242> bliZZardz: sorry never had that issue... either my sound works or it doesn't
[01:40] <IndyGunFreak> nibsa1242: intelhda?

[01:46] <LiNewbie> hello guys, just have trouble while installing Ubuntu... I have an LCD that can do only 1440x960@60Hz and the installer does something else in graphic mode. How can I change resolution on X display? (Ctrl-Alt-NumPad+ doesn't work)
[01:46] <d0netsFN> i want a msdos partition table right
[01:46] <ubuntu> hi
[01:47] <PB_G3> yes
[01:47] <baldur> audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Could not open audio device for playback.  ... What does this error mean ?? i am trying to test my sound device
[01:47] <jausenbrot> hey guys, is anybody using nxserver with fluxbox?
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> !res | LiNewbie
[01:48] <ubuntu> what the hell are we talking about
[01:48] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntu: read the topic.
[01:48] <LiNewbie> ubottu: Thanks a lot, and there is any text installer, without graphics on Ubuntu CD?
[01:48] <IndyGunFreak> !alternate | linenoise
[01:48] <IndyGunFreak> LiNewbie: see above
[01:48] <bliZZardz> in  /system/preferences/sound , when i set ALSA in sound capture and test it. i get a dialog which keeps on having a progressbar. and i dont seem to get ny response back
[01:49] <baldur> audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Could not open audio device for playback.  ... What does this error mean ?? i am trying to test my sound device
[01:49] <ubuntu> ok i get what we are talking about
[01:50] <rdvonz> anybody run sins of a solar empire through cedega? it doesn't show text whenever I try to play i
[01:50] <kaj> bliZZardz the alsa sound capture test records an .ogg format to a temp folder i believe
[01:50] <jausenbrot> when i run a nx session with fluxbox, i can only see the taskbar, anybody knows a fix for this problem?
[01:51] <bliZZardz> if i do that : am getting an error now : "gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for recording"
[01:51] <histo> ughh have some serious issues. Just had to restart my computer after 20 some days of uptime and now I can't log in
[01:51] <jausenbrot> can anybody see what i'm writing anyways?
[01:51] <kaj> we see it
[01:51] <baldur> ubottu !mediaubuntu
[01:51] <bliZZardz> whats the differnece between 'Mic' and 'Front Mic'?
[01:52] <baldur> ubottu !mediubuntu
[01:52] <linuxsoom> !foo
[01:52] <kaj> alsa will default to the back inputs outputs
[01:52] <IndyGunFreak> baldur: "/msg ubottu !medibuntu" no quotes
[01:52] <h4x0r> mediaubuntu have a nice wiki info
[01:52] <rww> !medibuntu | baldur
[01:52] <linuxsoom> !foo
[01:52] <linuxsoom> !foo
[01:52] <bliZZardz> Q:difference between Mic and Front Mic?
[01:52] <Flannel> linuxsoom: Can we help you?
[01:52] <baldur> IndyGunFreak: thanks
[01:52] <h4x0r> is not mediabuntu you are talking about backtrack3
[01:52] <IndyGunFreak> baldur: :)
[01:53] <linuxsoom> im trying to setup my webcam
[01:53] <jausenbrot> okay, so nobody is using nx server instead of vnc or other alternatives?
[01:53] <rebel_gui> bliZZardz, the connection/port
[01:53] <kaj> one is Mother board usb 2.0 and one is build in hardware for mic, front mic
[01:53] <bliZZardz> IndyGunFreak: whats the diff between Mic and Front Mic?
[01:53] <techII> hmm
[01:53] <techII> !foo
[01:53] <IndyGunFreak> bliZZardz: i don't use my mic, i realy don't know.
[01:53] <linuxsoom> !foo
[01:53] <IndyGunFreak> bliZZardz: coudl be there's an internal mic, and there's a mic port
[01:53] <rww> !botabuse | techII, linuxsoom
[01:53] <LiNewbie> IndyGunFreak: I'm just running from Ubuntu's CD, the only console browser is lynx that says: This client hasn't SSL support (https://wiki.ubuntu..) :(
[01:53] <bliZZardz> rebel_gui: one used for speaking - as in - hedphones with mic is Mic or Front Mic?
[01:53] <histo> So i can't log in I try and it just puts me back out login prompt this occurs in GUI and VT also if I try to ssh in to the box same result.  Any ideas would be great. The only access I have is recovery console root prompt
[01:54] <techII> rww: just checking to make sure that there wasn't a botnet parked in here, that responded to that trigger
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> LiNewbie: what was your question again?
[01:54] <rebel_gui> bliZZardz, the difference is the jack you plug into, mic should be your rear (standard) microphone jack and front should be your front (additional) microphone jack
[01:54] <rebel_gui> bliZZardz, they are two different inputs
[01:54] <kaj> front mic linewbie
[01:54] <LiNewbie> IndyGunFreak: how to change resolution of graphic installer or how to install with text installer?
[01:55] <rebel_gui> bliZZardz, at least what mine is on just a desktop and basic ubuntu install
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> LiNewbie: the text installer, is a different iso.
[01:55] <IndyGunFreak> LiNewbie: so you're only getting to a command line, and you need to fix your res?
[01:56] <bobbob1016> I'm running Mythbuntu 8.10, with an nVidia 8200 on the mobo and the propritary drivers.  I'm not getting a gui anymore.  I checked /var/log, and the files don't seem to have been updated for a while.  Any ideas?
[01:56] <LiNewbie> IndyGunFreak: Understood. So I'll try to cheat with /etx/X11 where I suppose to find sth interestning to change default high resolution
[01:56] <LiNewbie> of gdm
[01:56] <IndyGunFreak> LiNewbie: wait, you're on the live CD, and it can't boot to the desktop, is that what you're saying?
[01:57] <kaj> can anyone tell me can you fine tune network settings via wine to ubuntu ports
[01:57] <IndyGunFreak> kaj: via wine?.. why would you do that
[01:57] <kaj> for guildwars a online game
[01:58] <ubuntu> i am using a ubuntu live disk on windows vista so can i  install the ubuntu live disk on microsoft  virtual machine?
[01:58] <McQueen> hi, i have just download the ubuntu 8.10 server edition... i have hot a old pc.. p-133 nd 32 mb ram. i want to run this pc for only mail server... does my pc support ubuntu 8.10 server edition?
[01:58] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntu: yes, there's a lot of instructions for putting ubuntu inside a virtual machine
[01:58] <kaj> if your running a 133 i would use DSL linux for a mail server
[01:59] <Gtwy> what do i press to see both of my workspaces side by side
[01:59] <lazarus_lupine> Is there a quick fix to get rid of titlebars in gnome when using adobe air?
[01:59] <histo> Anyone know how I can get out of a login loop. I enter username and pass and get prompted again. This happens in GUI console and ssh
[01:59] <histo> ?
[01:59] <Gtwy> i bumped something on the keyboard accidentally and it zoomed me out
[01:59] <Gtwy> it was real cool
[01:59] <Gtwy> but i dont know how to get back to it haha
[01:59] <LiNewbie> IndyGunFreak: I'm running on install iso from ubuntu.com, just want to install it on my pendrive. After welcome screen and language choosing system is loading and something is start, but my monitor comes black and I see monitor message that says: "Cannot display video mode. Best resolution is 1440x960@60Hz"
[01:59] <rww> !requirements | McQueen
[01:59] <rebel_gui> McQueen, crux is another good option for a small, fast mail server
[01:59] <ubuntu> thanks :)
[01:59] <CompactDstrxion> gtwy Ctrl-Alt-Down Arrow?
[02:00] <KenBW2> i have a TV card on my PC, but it's only for analogue TV. Would there be a software-only way to convert that into Freeview (UK Digital TV)?
[02:00] <McQueen> ubottu: thanks for your help.... and rebel_gui....
[02:00] <Gtwy> CompactDstrxion: i will try that
[02:00] <rebel_gui> McQueen, np, crux is very advanced, but it will do what you want very very well
[02:01] <PB_G3> everybody thinks ubottu is a person!  Hint: u**bot**tu
[02:01] <CompactDstrxion> i think what your describing gtwy is a feature called expo
[02:01] <kaj> theres bots in all chats lol
[02:01] <histo> Anyone know how I can get out of a login loop. I enter username and pass and get prompted again. This happens in GUI console and ssh? This is system wide and critical!!!!!
[02:01] <CompactDstrxion> and i think the shortcut is ctrl alt down arrow
[02:01] <CompactDstrxion> but i'm not booted into ubuntu right now
[02:01] <CompactDstrxion> so not 100% sure
[02:01] <PB_G3> kaj, not mine #mac-old
[02:01] <aegis> Has anyone managed to get audio over HDMI working in Ubuntu 8.10?
[02:02] <Travis-42> all of a sudden, all sound has stopped working in ubuntu 8.10.  is there a way to restart it?
[02:02] <werdnum> CompactDstrxion: doesn't do anything on my box.
[02:02] <McQueen> rebel_gui: i want to run mail server for only 5-10 mail acount... so i dont need speed... but i dont know what is crux...? any link?
[02:02] <CompactDstrxion> damn
[02:02] <werdnum> McQueen: Just use google apps.

[02:03] <rebel_gui> McQueen, crux is a very very small linux distro, its for advanced users. http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=crux is a good place to start
[02:03]  * _Lucretia_ hopes that's a bot
[02:03] <cappicard> ircw go the fsck away
[02:03] <McQueen> werdnum: its an other way... your right about google apps...
[02:03] <aegis> Has anyone managed to get audio over HDMI working in Ubuntu 8.10?
[02:04] <McQueen> rebel_gui: thanks for your link
[02:04] <devin_> what's the firmware directory for ubuntu?
[02:04] <__mikem> jrib, that same bot tried that stunt in #freenode yesterday
[02:04] <rebel_gui> McQueen, thats my favorite for servers, good luck
[02:04] <McQueen> rebel_gui: thanks
[02:05] <Vinceman> hello
[02:05] <devin_> what's the firmware directory for ubuntu?
[02:05] <werdnum> firmware?
[02:05] <zacken> devin_: whereis firmware
[02:05] <ColdFyre> /lib/firmware
[02:05] <phrostbite> I am trying to play starcraft with wine and I followed all the instructions at the wine db site and the game works just fine however it runs slow. I tried all the tips on there and it still will not work properly. Any suggestion?
[02:06] <devin_> okay, thanks
[02:06] <kaj> phrostbite: i am having the same problem with guildwars its somewhere between the wine and ubuntu network settings
[02:07] <ubuntu> im only 12 but i know alot about this stuff
[02:07] <devin_> I'm having trouble with my broadcom card, I can't get it to work
[02:07] <phrostbite> Kaj, I am just trying to play single player. I am not even going online. Which confuses me because it is acting the same as if i was in a laggy room or something.
[02:08] <Omikane_> With RAM when it says something like PC5400 or PC6400 what does that mean?
[02:08] <kaj> then i would say hardware acceleration
[02:08] <phrostbite> It also does the same thing for warcraft 2 bne. The menus are fine but when i go to start playing through single player it laggs so bad.
[02:08] <PC_Nerd> Attempting to connect to an ftp server (vsftpd) my account has write priviledges to the filesystem, and I can connect but it wont list any files, write anything etc.... only port 21 is open.  is it a firewall issue?
[02:09] <kaj> what i had to do for GW is set the .dat file as exeicutable
[02:09] <Dayson> I cant get passed the login screen, It keeps telling me the I haver the wrong password
[02:10] <comradekingu> Omikane_:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM_bus
[02:10] <phrostbite> I also tried using wine doors which somebody reccomended to me but that confused me even more
[02:10] <wolter> hi, i have to use low graphics mode now that i just installed the new 180 nvidia drivers.. can anybody help me?
[02:10] <ubuntu_is_dabest> hi
[02:10] <skate2> is it possible to do a bash for loop all on one line?
[02:10] <Gtwy> whats the best remote backup management software for linux and windows?
[02:11] <werdnum> !best
[02:11] <kaj> phrostbite/ did you try to set the permissions to read write for the exe and dat files in starcraft?
[02:11] <netsurf3> wolter, yeah, did you run the nvidia xconfigure script?
[02:11] <LiNewbie> IndyGunFreak: Maybe it's a bug? My monitor is Philips 190 SW, that can do 1440x960@70 Hz and strange that default install X installation gets something more. My graphics card is based on Radeon 3850. I suppose, that installation program should search a graphics mode as good as possible, not to high, isn't it?
[02:11] <ubuntu_is_dabest> is there a way to start remote desktop & samba service at the startup of ubuntu? because it doesn't start if i don't log it in
[02:11] <netsurf3> you may also need to restart gdm (or your computer)
[02:11] <phrostbite> They are read write
[02:11] <Gtwy> werdnum: i just need a few choices to start with here
[02:11] <wolter> netsurf3, nvidia-xconfig? yes/
[02:12] <netsurf3> yes
[02:12] <netsurf3> so you have run that?
[02:12] <Gtwy> werdnum: the only lead i have is bacula but id like to see what other people are using
[02:12] <histo> Anyone know how I can get out of a login loop. I enter username and pass and get prompted again. This happens in GUI console and ssh? This is system wide and critical!!!!!
[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> LiNewbie: ATI graphics are far from perfect on Linux, installing to a pen drive though, is a bit of a pain sometimes, you're probably gonna need the text installer anyways
[02:12] <histo> Is ther a way to list user accounts?
[02:12] <rww> histo: cat /etc/passwd
[02:12] <phrostbite> Could me driver be out of wack?
[02:12] <kaj> doubtful you have the gui and its laggy
[02:13] <phrostbite> ok
[02:13] <histo> wtf I have no idea how this is even possible.
[02:13] <LiNewbie> IndyGunFreak: Ok, so I'll get a text install. Thank you for help IndyGunFreak  :) And what did you say about installing on a pendrive? It's not good idea you think?
[02:13] <kaj> you have to set the permissions to read write and check the box to make the exe and the dat files as executible
[02:13] <phrostbite> I have tried running with opengl and not, tried as 640 x 480
[02:14] <Dayson> cant log into 8.10, help please
[02:14] <phrostbite> Arn't they already like that Since its installed?
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> LiNewbie: just good luck w/ it.. you'll either have success, or you'll have a problem w/ grub, its just not worth it in my opinion, instal like a normal person, and usually everything is fine
[02:14] <kaj> no the dat will be read only and the checkbox will be unchecked
[02:14] <KenBW2> i have a TV card on my PC, but it's only for analogue TV. Would there be a software-only way to convert that into Freeview (UK Digital TV)?
[02:14] <phrostbite> I don't see any dat files in the starcraft folder in wine
[02:14] <phrostbite> Thats why i am so confused
[02:14] <ubuntu_is_dabest> how to start services without having to log in to my desktop?
[02:15] <pyro2927> !scripts
[02:15] <Gtwy> ubottu: which service
[02:15] <LiNewbie> IndyGunFreak: Ok, Thanks once more for a suggestions :)
[02:15] <Gtwy> ubuntu_is_dabest: which service
[02:15] <dgarr>  /join #mythtv-users
[02:15] <ubuntu_is_dabest> everyone of them
[02:15] <kaj> ahhh then copy the dat from the disk and transfer to the c drive in the home/wine
[02:15] <pyro2927> Is there any way to have a script that writes your external IP address to a text document?
[02:16] <ubuntu_is_dabest> because nothing is started, i can't remote it either
[02:16] <ubuntu_is_dabest> unlike win32 services started when the system does
[02:16] <phrostbite> What will that do? I no longer have the disc. I had to use a no cd patch to be able to play.
[02:16] <LiNewbie>  /quit
[02:16] <kaj> that could be the problem since the script most likely was written for windows cgi
[02:17] <phrostbite> What does that mean?
[02:17] <ubuntu_is_dabest> i mean, i wish my ubuntu system could be like that too, because i don't have keyboard and mouse on that computer anymore, since it is supposed to be a server now
[02:18] <kaj> well if the script was made to run with certain libraries then the wine crossover libraries would be different
[02:18] <phrostbite> ahh
[02:18] <histo> Please anyone know how I can get out of a login loop? I'm stuck can't login via GUI console or ssh. Only recovery console works atm. This occured after I rebooted after 20 some days of uptime.
[02:19] <kaj> did you configure wine to run the starcraft.exe as win xp or 98
[02:19] <phrostbite> Well I have the wine installed but I see something called crossovers.
[02:19] <phrostbite> what is that?
[02:19] <pyro2927> phrostbite: its just another program that emulates windows
[02:19] <kaj> go to apps/wine/configure wine
[02:20] <kaj> it will pop up a screen
[02:20] <pyro2927> phrostbite: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/
[02:20] <drzin> does anyone know where to find KVM settings?
[02:20] <phrostbite> oh so it is not absolutly required?
[02:20] <pyro2927> no
[02:20] <kaj> you have to pay for crossover
[02:20] <phrostbite> Ahhh. I see
[02:20] <KemrinH> Has anyone heard of photosynth?
[02:20] <phrostbite> Ok I am at the configure wine screen

[02:21] <click170> Why the fuck is it when you open a folder with hundreds of files in it Gnome shows you the folder before it's finished populating it?  You can't do anything ^in^ the window because its too jittery to select any single file... It serves no purpose but to frustrate users.
[02:21] <ryanricard> hey, all of a sudden my wireless network went away. I can see the card with lspci, but no network in iwconfig and network manager gives me nothing
[02:21] <rww> !pastebin > wat_

[02:22] <kaj> ok so hit the add app box below that
[02:22] <KemrinH> Does anyone know how we're going to get Photosynth stuff working in Ubuntu?

[02:25] <ubuntu_is_dabest> does anyone know how to set services to run without having to login on desktop?
[02:25] <wolter> nightrid3r, are you telling me to run nvidia-settings?
[02:25] <nightrid3r> wolter: thats the one
[02:25] <Alice22> !info unrar-free
[02:26] <wolter> nightrid3r, well, if you run in the terminal 'nvidia-settings', does that bring the same tool?
[02:26] <nightrid3r> wolter: i guess so
[02:27] <gaintsura> is there a way to list programs in order of last used or how frequently they are used?
[02:27] <wolter> nightrid3r, ok. what next? I get an error...
[02:27] <wolter> nightrid3r,  NVIDIA X driver
[02:27] <nightrid3r> wolter: did you reboot after installing the nvidia driver
[02:27] <wolter> no, i restarted x
[02:28] <nightrid3r> wolter: you need to restart to load the nvidia kernel module
[02:28] <wolter> nightrid3r, the settings alert me saying that there is no  NVIDIA X driver.
[02:28] <wolter> ok
[02:28] <_Vi_> gaintsura: you mean the programs that are being ran currently? htop has that feature
[02:29] <ldiamond> I'm trying to play a DVD on ubuntu, but it doesnt work at all!
[02:29] <ldiamond> I tried VLC and mplayer
[02:29] <Dillizar> what is the smallest internet browser??
[02:29] <Dillizar> which*
[02:29] <_Vi_> lynx?
[02:29] <ldiamond> Dillizar, you can use FF and resize it so its very small
[02:30] <w33d5> LYNX
[02:30] <w33d5> !
[02:30] <dayo_> lynx rox
[02:30] <Dillizar> ldiamond, if its smaller will it open the pages faster??
[02:30] <nightrid3r> ldiamond: ubuntu doesn't support encrypted dvds out of the box, have a look at medibuntu
[02:30] <dayo_> i use it on the servers
[02:30] <quicksilver_> Anybody find out why WEP doesnt work with 8.10 anymore? Ive seen a few links on it, but nothing has solved my issue. With 8.04, I had no problems using WEP to connect, but now I cant connect even when I turn WEP off. Ideas?
[02:30] <drzin> does anyone know where to find KVM settings?
[02:31] <Dillizar> quicksilver_, did you upgrade it or re installed it
[02:31] <nightrid3r> drzin: ùost setting can be found in /etc have a look there
[02:31] <ldiamond> nightrid3r, is that in the repo?
[02:31] <quicksilver_> Dillizar: I reinstalled it.
[02:31] <nightrid3r> ldiamond: its a repo you have to add, just google for medibuntu
[02:32] <drzin> ok
[02:32] <Dillizar> quicksilver_,  are ya on laptop???
[02:32] <bullgard4> [web design] How is any of 216 colors called that all browsers will render alike and wihout a pattern?
[02:32] <quicksilver_> Dillizar: Not right now. But my laptop is right next to me (also plugged into the switch)
[02:33] <drzin> then how do i disable the KVM
[02:33] <Dillizar> quicksilver_,  your WEP doesnt work on the lap top? maybe is hardware
[02:33] <jtaji> bullgard4: web safe colors... no one too much worries about them anymore btw, hardly anyone is still running 8-bit color
[02:33] <rsteckler> Is it just me, or is it way more reliable to install stuff (tomcat6, for example) from the official site instead of apt-get.
[02:34] <quicksilver_> Dillizar: Its not working in ubuntu, but works just fine in Windows, Same problem with another computer Ive got.
[02:34] <wolter> nightrid3r, i restarted, but there were some error messages... 'failed to initialize nvidia kernel module, please ensure gpu is supported, files have been correctly installed.
[02:34] <rsteckler> vanila tomcat 6 install throws errors when shutting down.
[02:34] <Dillizar> quicksilver_,  btw why are you useing the wep for
[02:34] <mobodo> what are my options if I'd like to mirror a 1920x1200 display on a 1024x968 monitor? is it possible to ask the graphics card to scale down?
[02:34] <Cewex_Cute> fffddddddddddd2222df ghgjert                  dhgg43334
[02:34] <Jack_Sparrow> rsteckler Best to stay in the official repos.
[02:34] <wolter> nightrid3r, i think i have to reinstall
[02:34] <nightrid3r> wolter: 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] <rsteckler> Jack_Sparrow: This is from the main repo.
[02:35] <Jack_Sparrow> rsteckler have you looked for bug reports on it
[02:35] <nightrid3r> wolter: try the nvidia website if you are adventourus / desperate
[02:35] <antonehenry> Need help with iPod + Podcast + Banshee
[02:35] <antonehenry> any takers?
[02:35] <antonehenry> =]
[02:35] <wpgmb> I 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] <wolter> nightrid3r, it has to be.. i downloaded the driver for geforce 8m series, and my card is 8600m gt
[02:35] <bullgard4> jtaji: Thank you for anwering. I agree that this only a problem for some special equipment.
[02:35] <Jack_Sparrow> rsteckler It is possible to install something else manually that mess's this program up
[02:35] <wolter> nightrid3r, i think i will perform an uninstall
[02:35] <rsteckler> Jack_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.
[02:36] <Cewex_Cute>     
[02:36] <Dillizar> quicksilver_,  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 one
[02:36] <rsteckler> Or, I could just wget and install from the official tomcat site and everything works out of the box
[02:36] <quicksilver_> Dillizar: Ok, thanks
[02:36] <Jack_Sparrow> rsteckler Then do that
[02:36] <nightrid3r> wolter: uninstall for now and check nvidia site for other drivers or mail nvidia support
[02:37] <rsteckler> For 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] <foxjazz> Is there a way to use file browser as root
[02:37] <foxjazz> ?
[02:37] <nightrid3r> wolter: make sure you include as mutch info as possible in your mail
[02:37] <jtaji> quicksilver_: from your description it sounds like it's not just WEP that's not working, but even without it?  What is your wireless device?
[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] <Jack_Sparrow> rsteckler Not at all.  generally safer to get from supported repos.
[02:37] <PB_G3> foxjazz: yes go to terminal and type sudo nautilus
[02:37] <carnage> anyone 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.conf
[02:37] <Jack_Sparrow> foxjazz dont use that command
[02:38] <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_Sparrow> foxjazz gksudo nautilus   is much safer
[02:38] <Dillizar> quicksilver_,  try Kwlan i think it will work on gnome with no problems
[02:38] <rww> !gksudo | PB_G3
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[02:38] <Jack_Sparrow> foxjazz gksudo nautilus   is still a very dangerous and unforgiving command..
[02:39] <quicksilver_> Dillizar: Ill give that a try.
[02:39] <MisterKM> Hey all, wondering how I can make disc ISO images?
[02:39] <Dr_willis> MisterKM,  i tend to use k3b. but theres other ways

[02:40] <quicksilver_> jtaji: Nothing comes back
[02:40] <Dillizar> wpgmb, nope
[02:41] <d0netsFN> hey i was having issues with the vista bootmgr missing
[02:41] <Tekumel> wpgmb: Unless you're running raid, you shouldn't
[02:41] <d0netsFN> so i used the vista disk to repair startup
[02:41] <d0netsFN> now i get error 22 in grub
[02:41] <d0netsFN> any ideas?
[02:41] <Jack_Sparrow> d0netsFN Please keep your question on one line and not use 4 to ask your question

[02:42] <Tekumel> wpgmb: I'm a big fan of the Gigabyte GA-EP35C-DS3R. If you don't need onboard video I'd give it 2 thumbs up.
[02:43] <wpgmb> Dillizar: thx. Hopefully I'll be up and running again tomorrow. I'm working from my laptop right now, and its' d***n tempting to sell everything and get a desktop-replacement laptop....
[02:43] <wpgmb> Tekukmel: I'll check it out
[02:43] <aegis> Has anyone managed to get audio over HDMI working in Ubuntu 8.10?
[02:43] <wolter> hey nightrid3r, i ran the uninstall and it is back as it was
[02:43] <antonehenry> I cannot get any good podcasting results with any program.  Everything is flawed.  Banshee won't sync to ipod, Songbird won't get track names and not recognize all of them, amarok is a disgusting program all together.  can anyone help?
[02:44] <histo> I'm stuck in a login looop and need help badly. I can't login via console ssh or GUI only recover console works atm.
[02:44] <wolter> is there somebody here willing to HELP ME INSTALL THE NVIDIA.COM DRIVERS ??????
[02:44] <Dillizar> wpgmb,  Restricted Drivers Manager will tell you if you need new drivers and will install it self
[02:44] <nightrid3r> wolter: i checked and there is no support for your card in th lates driver
[02:44] <tonsofpcs> histo: why can't you?
[02:44] <Jack_Sparrow> wolter Please lose the caps..
[02:44] <histo> tonsofpcs: it just loops and asks for user and pass again no error
[02:45] <wpgmb> Dillizar: thx. I'm not to worried.. logged on here for extra peace of mind. Thanks though!
[02:45] <histo> tonsofpcs: something with auth is serious jacked on this thing. This after i've been using it for months and a 20 day uptime. I just rebooted cuz cups crashed and now this problem.
[02:45] <Dillizar> nada
[02:45] <wolter> nightrid3r, no? I read that there was a 'Added support for...' and my card wasn't listed there.. but that doesn't mean it is not supported.
[02:45] <Dillizar> :D
[02:46] <nightrid3r> wolter: the output of the error should be a clue
[02:46] <PB_G3> can you skip downloading language packs safely?
[02:46] <optikalmouse> anyone know where to get the Mono VB.NET compiler?
[02:46] <optikalmouse> it's called vbnc, but I can't find the package in any of the repos I have.
[02:46] <histo> Others on the forums have had the same problem but no solution.
[02:47] <antonehenry> >	Need help with iPod + Podcast + Banshee -  anybody got any experience with an iPod not being able to sync Podcasts?  Thanks!!
[02:47] <Dillizar> PB_G3, just press skip and it will nothing bad will happen

[02:48] <Jack_Sparrow> skate2 what program
[02:48] <skate2> gvim
[02:48] <skate2> i need sudo to edit files in /var/www
[02:48] <ubuntnew> that's intresting, i wanna know that too
[02:48] <danes_> this is a dumb question, but how can I mount an ext3 partition?
[02:49] <wpgmb> Tekumel; local store sells GA-EP45-DS3L for Cdn $110.  I'll go look for that one, or the Asus P5QL PRO for about the same cost
[02:49] <Jack_Sparrow> skate2 go to terminal use sudo for root access or gksudo if the app is a   gui
[02:49] <_Vi_> how is that a dumb question danes_ ?
[02:49] <skate2> you cant get to gksudo from the menu?
[02:49] <ubuntnew> mout -t ext3
[02:50] <fellojell_o> I've been having trouble with firefox (amd64) ubuntu
[02:50] <wpgmb> skate2: open a terminal, cd to the directory you want and then do sudo gedit [file]
[02:50] <PB_G3> skate2: What do you mean Alt + =?
[02:50] <chronographer> Hi I need help. I installed guarddog (a firewall) and it weems to have changed my settings for iptables to be very unpermissive! This can be fixed by installing firestarter, but firestarter conflicts with my wireless usb card and so I can't keep it installed... anyway ... how can I stop guarddog (I think its residual settings) from blocking internet access?
[02:50] <Jack_Sparrow> danes_ sudo mkdir /media/drive4you then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/drive4you substitute your drive for sda1
[02:50] <chronographer> What I want to do is check default iptables settings and change them to permissive. How to do this?
[02:50] <CoJaBo> What does the "virtual machine host" option on the Ubuntu server installer do?
[02:50] <skate2> the problem with running gksudo gvim is it's not loading my ~/.vimrc
[02:50] <gizmobay> I'm trying to troubleshoot my printer. This is what CUPS says for the location. usb://Samsung/CLP-300  Where's the mount point for this?
[02:50] <Jack_Sparrow> skate2 use a terminal program or create a launcher if it is something you will do often
[02:51] <Dillizar> chronographer,  why you dont just remove the new firewall :D
[02:51] <chronographer> gizmobay: my clp300 worked out of the box.
[02:51] <chronographer> I did
[02:51] <chronographer> apt-get removed it
[02:51] <wpgmb> Cojabo: are you planning on running an other OS inside Ubuntu as a guest OS? Google for "Virtual server"
[02:51] <chronographer> but on restart the settings are changed and I can't get on the internet.
[02:51] <danes_> Jack_Sparrow, I tried that way, but got this message: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
[02:51] <gizmobay> Mine worked in 8.04
[02:51] <Dillizar> just go to add/remove chronographer
[02:51] <gizmobay> I just upgraded to 8.10
[02:51] <chronographer> I already removed guarddog
[02:51] <MisterKM> Those instructions only shows how to burn an image, I want to make an ISO.
[02:51] <optikalmouse> /
[02:52] <Jack_Sparrow> danes_ sudo fdisk -l  .............look at fstab etc
[02:52] <CoJaBo> wpgmb: What VM software does it install? (Sorry, my question was a bit vague...)
[02:52] <chronographer> why do my firewall settings changeon restart?
[02:52] <danes_> Jack_Sparrow, the problem is that grub was messed up and I cant access anything. I need to mount the drive to restore grub I think...
[02:52] <Jack_Sparrow> MisterKM I showed you earlier
[02:52] <Dillizar> MisterKM,  try to select image and not the Writer
[02:52] <gizmobay> I can't figure out why I get a port failed when I do a the test with the Unified Driver Config
[02:52] <Jack_Sparrow> MisterKM Create ISO of CD Rom... dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/$USER/Desktop/file.iso bs=2k
[02:52] <chronographer> gizmobay: you want to use samsung drivers?
[02:52] <wpgmb> CojaBo: couldn't tell you. I don't use that feature
[02:53] <gizmobay> I have both foo and Samsung
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> danes_ are you running livecd
[02:53] <danes_> Jack_Sparrow, yes
[02:53] <wpgmb> MisterKM: Google for: linux create iso from hdd
[02:53] <chronographer>  gizmobay: its not as good as the open source one. it prints fuzz around letters!
[02:53] <danes_> actually I'm in other computer
[02:53] <chronographer> I only use the open sourceone
[02:53] <wpgmb> MisterKM: you'll get more to read than you care for
[02:53] <gizmobay> the foo or Samsung?
[02:53] <danes_> I have a minimal terminal running right now on the affected machine
[02:53] <chronographer> but I remember that installing with teh .sh file installed perfectly for me last time
[02:53] <gizmobay> prints fuzz
[02:54] <chronographer> fuzzy text
[02:54] <CoJaBo> wpgmb: Ok, any suggestion of where it might be documented?
[02:54] <danes_> Jack_Sparrow, actually I'm using pmagic in order to see if my information is still there, and there is a terminal emulator, which I plan to use to fix it
[02:54] <gizmobay> I use the Samsung one for pics
[02:55] <chronographer> yeah I have too, but I use my mac for pics now!
[02:55] <wpgmb> CojaBo: many threads on 'buntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=987631
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> danes_ then you are not  currently in a livecd
[02:55] <wpgmb> Oops... paste a link - sorry!!!
[02:56] <ubuntu_is_dabest> d0netsFN: as far as i know, microsoft system does not recognize linux file tables.
[02:56] <Xpistos> hey does anybody know a good ubuntu based distro that will run on old hardware?
[02:56] <chronographer> you can chekc cups in the web UI : http://localhost:631 it may have details for you
[02:56] <danes_> Jack_Sparrow, sorry, I'm newbie, I just want to recover everything before formatting
[02:56] <Cpudan80> Xpistos: xubuntu?
[02:56] <gizmobay> it says "can't find any devices on usb://Samsung/CLP-300"
[02:56] <histo> tonsofpcs: I think I might have fixed it.
[02:56] <Xpistos> I thought maybe crunchbang, but no luk
[02:56] <Cpudan80> Xpistos: similar to gnome, but uses less resources
[02:56] <Cpudan80> same kernel
[02:56] <Dillizar> !fr
[02:56] <Dr_willis> Xpistos,  Crunchbang works here.
[02:56] <tonsofpcs> histo: only one way to find out
[02:56] <Cpudan80> at least I think its the same kernel
[02:56] <danes_> Jack_Sparrow, and I know it is possible to fix the grub, that is the only thing that is messed up. Everything else is fine
[02:56] <Xpistos> maybe I just need to redownload
[02:56] <nightrid3r> d0netsFN: there is a extfs driver for windows on sourceforge
[02:57] <histo> tonsofpcs: rebooting now to see i removed /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb and reinstall libpam-smbpass
[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> danes_ Im off for the night.  someone will answer
[02:57] <Cpudan80> Is it possible to set different desktop backgrounds for each desktop?
[02:57] <Xpistos> I am trying to install on an old toshiba to give my son like a word processor and cd, minimal internet
[02:57] <Xpistos> I will try those oiut
[02:57] <Xpistos> out
[02:57] <danes_> Jack_Sparrow, thanks
[02:57] <Cpudan80> like if I have 4 desktops ... can I have 4 different backgrounds ?
[02:57] <Dr_willis> Cpudan80,  not under gnome at this time.
[02:57] <chronographer> Cpudan80: in KDE yes, gnome I think is hard
[02:57] <Cpudan80> :-(
[02:57] <Cpudan80> well no way in hell Im using KDE
[02:57] <bliZZardz> damn! still now working ...ala :(
[02:58] <Dr_willis> Cpudan80,  use what you want. :) we dont care. ;p
[02:58] <Cpudan80> hehe
[02:58] <wolter> nightrid3r, it is supported, check out http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/180.22/README/appendix-a.html and seek for 8600m gt
[02:58] <Cpudan80> I used kde for a little while
[02:58] <CoJaBo> wpgmb: Problem I'm having is that the name of the option itself is pretty vague lol. Googling "virtual machine host" doesn't get very far. I guess I'll leave it blank and install my own VM host software later.
[02:58] <danes_> anyone knows how can I setup the internet so that all adult content will be filtered. I need it for my nephew.
[02:58] <Cpudan80> it didnt seem all that intuitive to me
[02:58] <Dr_willis> Cpudan80,  set up a random wallpaper changer.. and dont worry about it
[02:58] <Cpudan80> heh
[02:58] <Cpudan80> Dr_willis: but I want the same beautiful babe on desktop 2 all the time!
[02:59] <Dr_willis> Cpudan80,  there may be a way to do it with using compiz to manage the background.. but that then causes other issues...
[02:59] <wpgmb> CojaBo: yup. Might want to do that. Does your CPU support VM?
[02:59] <Dr_willis> Cpudan80,  the gnome powers at be.. decided thats too 'comfusing' an option :)
[02:59] <chronographer> danes_: he will find a way around it. . . just supervise (or get your bro/sis to supervise him
[03:00] <olethri0s> Hey guys. If I want to completely remove compiz from my box..... I can just go into synaptic and completely remove all the files that have 'compiz' in them right?

[03:00] <Dr_willis> olethri0s,  you are proberly safer just not using it.. then 'removing' it.
[03:00] <CoJaBo> wpgmb: No, its a Celeron, unfortunately :/ so no hardware VM acceleration.
[03:00] <nightrid3r> danes_: dansguardian

[03:00] <wpgmb> CojaBo: then prepare for some painfully slow guest OS...
[03:01] <olethri0s> Dr_willis: Because I want to use fluxbox now for practicality.
[03:01] <Bryce_> I can't decide which Ubuntu distro to get. Mint, Myth, etc.
[03:01] <Dr_willis> ubuntnew,   j just saying someones name dosent fo a lot of good. :)
[03:01] <chronographer> olethri0s: you can probably go and set System : Prefs : Appearance : Desktop Effects : None
[03:01] <danes_> nightrid3r, thanks :) ;)
[03:01] <histo> tonsofpcs: maybe not lets see it locked up that time but I know i'm on the right track now. Just have to figure out the easiest way to do this.
[03:01] <Dr_willis> Bryce_,  i suggest just the normal Ubuntu. and install what you need.
[03:01] <baz> i am having trouble mounting my network share in FSTAB so that I can delete files without having to sudo. I read the article "MOUNT USB STICK READ AND WRITABLE FOR USER" and didn't get much out of it. My fstab line is: //192.168.0.199/downloads /media/diskstation cifs  username=(un),password=(pw),umask=000  0 0
[03:01] <riddlebox> is it wise to rsync two machines back and forth? or will it get messed up?
[03:01] <wpgmb> Bryce: Sorry.... that just too funny.... Which Ubuntu distro? Your choices are NOT ubuntu
[03:01] <PB_G3> How do the developers compile the software without installing it first?
[03:01] <chronographer> olethri0s: install fluxbox : select flux as session. you will soon be back to gnome!!!
[03:01] <Dr_willis> olethri0s,  if you set to use fluxbox.. then you wont be using compiz at all.
[03:02] <histo> tonsofpcs: got it working
[03:02] <PB_G3> (of ubuntu)
[03:02] <histo> tonsofpcs: nvm
[03:02] <aegis> Has anyone managed to get audio over HDMI working in Ubuntu 8.10 with an Nvidia 9400?
[03:02] <dtzitz> does anyone know of a guide out there that could help me remove my linux partition and have the space returned to the windows partition?
[03:02] <olethri0s> Oh, alright. That sounds good too... and if I decide to go back I can just select that at startup right?
[03:02] <Bryce_> Well, I'm going to be dual booting it with Vista on a reasonably powerful machine, so I don't want to install a 'low power' version like Xubuntu or anything like that.
[03:03] <Huene`> Ubuntu is scanning for new networks ever minute or so, how can I turn that off?
[03:03] <skate2> where should i put my vimrc file so root can read it when i sudo vim?
[03:04] <baz> !samba
[03:04] <CoJaBo> wpgmb: Hopefully fast enough at least to run a printer/scanner and smartcard reader under XP (Printer and card reader have 0 linux support :/ )
[03:04] <chronographer> olethri0s: yep
[03:04] <olethri0s> chronographer: Thanks man :D
[03:04] <wpgmb> CojaBo: I still think you're better off dual booting in that case
[03:04] <chronographer> olethri0s: you can even try Sugar (from OLPC) its great!
[03:04] <chronographer> or KDE or XFCE or anything
[03:04] <_Vi_> skate2: /root so it would look like /root/.vimrc
[03:05] <chronographer> install it and select it in sessions
[03:05] <wolter> which is the xserver-xorg dev package?
[03:05] <joljam> I an trying to create a usb startup disk for ubuntu intrepid...need help
[03:05] <wolter> how do i see my xorg version?
[03:05] <jobot11011> Don't know.
[03:05] <chronographer> wolter: synaptic?
[03:05] <bliZZardz> Q: am getting "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the multimedia..." when i click on App/Sound/Sound Recorder" - any help would be GREAT!!!
[03:06] <jobot11011> What is xorg?
[03:06] <robf> if I ejected the livecd,  how can I remount it?
[03:06] <robf> so its not all retarded,  now that I got done what I needed done from the drive?
[03:06] <Fezzler> Anyone use a Palm with your Ubuntu?  I can't seem to get Mail to sync with Evolution
[03:06] <yuriy_> omg cant switch to runlevel 8 need help! init 8 wont work
[03:06] <wolter> jobot11011, some wierd stuff
[03:06] <werdnum> yuriy_: Why do you want to switch to runlevel 8?
[03:06] <CoJaBo> wpgmb: Running as a server, so dualbooting isn't really an option. Hopefully it will be supported or I can get it working in Wine later on. The printer/scanner is Lexmark, not sure what the card reader is.
[03:06] <bliZZardz> IndyGunFreak:  any thooughts?
[03:06] <tudon> X -version wolter
[03:07] <werdnum> yuriy_: runlevel 5 doesn't actually exist.
[03:07] <werdnum> erm, runlevel 8 doesn't*
[03:07] <jvai> what would be the best software to turn my current install/configuration into an .ISO image?
[03:07] <werdnum> runlevel 6 is the highest.
[03:07] <robf> any ideas how the livecd is mounted or how it is used when in the live OS?    cos I ejected it because I had to do some things using my cd drive,  but now I need to remount it so the live os can use it and not be somewhat retarded
[03:07] <nyaa> in star trek: linux they go to runlevel 9 but runlevel 10 is sketchy
[03:08] <wpgmb> CojaBo: Ah. The rock and the hard place. Well - if you don't have a second box for the Windows part. there's only so much you can do.
[03:08] <harwin> hola a todos
[03:08] <_Vi_> !es
[03:08] <robf> nyaa: 9.999C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C[C9... is by all necessity run level 10 however...this is how they made it work in ST canon
[03:08] <robf> oh man,  what was all that crap
[03:08] <MeVsTheVoices> Hey guys, I'm getting an error 13 of grub coming from windows, the MBR is fine, double checked, and the other windows drive boots fine, this comes after a fresh grub-install btw
[03:08] <_Vi_> lol robf
[03:09] <rww> robf: You shouldn't be able to eject it in the first place. It's not designed to work properly if you somehow manage to. If you need to run a Live environment and  use your CD drive, make a LiveUSB.
[03:09] <robf> rww: oh I had no trouble ejecting it
[03:09] <robf> sudo eject
[03:09] <robf> ;)
[03:09] <MeVsTheVoices> I keep finding solutions to ext2/3 and linux drives but there is no solutions, that I can find, the correlate to winidows
[03:09] <robf> but now its back in,  anything I can do to make it less wonky?
[03:10] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: /etc/fstab users
[03:10] <robf> I don't think that'd work as a command were i to try and do that
[03:10] <rww> robf: reboot :P
[03:10] <robf> rww:  can't unfortunately
[03:10] <sybase> hi
[03:11] <robf> in the middle of a hdd recovery process
[03:11] <robf> it has about 5 hours left
[03:11] <mikem> hi, when i run `monop <assembly>` or `monop2 <assembly>`, I get an error message: "Could not find <assembly>" even though the assembly is in the current working directory. does anyone know where to begin debugging this?
[03:11] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: Its not a command, append the users option to your cd drives in fstab, dippy
[03:11] <sybase> I am hear for understanding the sybase installation on Ubuntu
[03:11] <robf> oh
[03:11] <yuriy_> oh no my ubuntu keeps restarting, how do i not let it call the BIOS?!?!?
[03:11] <bullgard4> Where from will the command 'hostname -d' fetch its answer?
[03:11] <MeVsTheVoices> mikem: You on GNU use gcc, its'l do both AT&T asm and I386 standard, man gcc /.asm/
[03:11] <robf> (leave me be I'm a gentoo user,  ubuntu has some caveats that go against my logic so I assume illogical things to me may work ;)...dippy ;-\
[03:12] <jrgp> I just upgraded to jaunty on my system76 darter
[03:12] <jrgp> I can't login
[03:12]  * mikem slaps forehead... need to add -r: switch to point monop2 to the assembly
[03:12] <jrgp> gnome and fluxbox don't work, only failsafe terminal does
[03:12] <kushalsejwal> Greeting everybody
[03:12] <CoJaBo> wpgmb: Have a second system (a laptop currently being used as the server), but hope not to have it running all the time any more. With any luck, I might be able to get the printer and reader working with SANE or Wine or something so I don't need the overhead of an entire VM and Windows XP just to scan something lol
[03:12] <robf> but MeVsTheVoices I still don't see how that would help,   where does the livecd usually mount itself
[03:13] <nightrid3r> jrgp: #ubuntu+1
[03:13] <mikem> MeVsTheVoices: sorry, i'm referring to assembly in .NET/Mono terms, which is basically either a .so or executable binary
[03:13] <robf> I mean I can mount it need be,  that isn't the exact issue at hand =s
[03:13] <baz> whats the best way to share files and folders from linux to linux without worrying about windows compatibility
[03:13] <kushalsejwal> I am new to database concepts and want to learn practise SQL queries how can  I do so in ubuntu?
[03:13] <mikem> MeVsTheVoices: either way, the problem was just my sillyness...
[03:13] <nightrid3r> baz nfs
[03:13] <rdw200169> kushalsejwal, try mysql
[03:14] <robf> kushalsejwal: postgres is much sexier,
[03:14] <kushalsejwal> rdw200169: is it there in the synaptic?
[03:14] <kushalsejwal> robf: postgres ? what is it?
[03:14] <rdw200169> kushalsejwal, both are, sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[03:14] <MeVsTheVoices> mikem: Fair enough
[03:14] <robf> postgresql,  another sql db
[03:14] <wpgmb> CojaBo: yup, that sucks. I was struggling with the same a while back. Now, my laptop although not state-of-the-art, is dual booting FC10 and WinXP to support my printer, income tax program and the ability to print photo packages via PS Elements
[03:14] <MeVsTheVoices> Hey guys, I'm getting an error 13 of grub coming from windows, the MBR is fine, double checked, and the other windows drive boots fine, this comes after a fresh grub-install btw
[03:15] <rdw200169> rdw200169, and sudo apt-get install postgresql-server
[03:15] <bliZZardz> am getting "gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for recording." when i click on Preferences/Sound/Audio COnf/
[03:15] <bliZZardz> pointers?
[03:15] <robf> MeVsTheVoices: what device is that windows partition on?
[03:16] <kushalsejwal> rdw200169:  is the syntax of mysql same to that of what there in oracle sql plus?
[03:16] <robf> kushalsejwal: similar...it is sql.
[03:16] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: It is /dev/sda1 or b1, hang on a sec
[03:16] <rdw200169> kushalsejwal, i dunno, i don't buy software
[03:16] <robf> some differense
[03:16] <robf> MeVsTheVoices: k ,  just know sometimes its goofy if you use sdb
[03:16] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: It is /dev/sda1
[03:17] <robf> from sda grub cos windows wants to be 0
[03:17] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: grub cos?
[03:17] <hyphenated> kushalsejwal: most of the SQL parts are the same, but connecting, changing databases etc are different.
[03:17] <robf> MeVsTheVoices: , cos (because)
[03:17] <robf> sorry
[03:18] <kushalsejwal> hyphenated: thanks I got it, I would start using mysql now.
[03:18] <robf> I just wondered cos you'll get weird wonky stuff going on if windows is on the secondary drive....you gotta swap the devices.
[03:18] <kushalsejwal> for installing MYSQL into my system ﻿sudo apt-get install mysql-server is enough?
[03:18] <robf> MeVsTheVoices: paste your grub.conf?
[03:18] <Cpudan80> kushalsejwal: yep
[03:18] <ohhai> Hi, I'm running ALSA 1.0.17 on my Interpid Ibex, 32 bit, which in turn runs on my ASUS W3J laptop with HD-Audio Intel card that is identified as AD198x. In most of the settings for alsa-base I get situation 1) sound output working, but no sound input. The only time when sound input seems to work is with the 2) "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack", but then, ironically, sound output stops working. My laptop has only two jacks (one for microphone,
[03:19] <seektherapy> How can i upgrade my kernel .. I partitioned my harddrive and installed the newest version of ubuntu 8.10 and i am not using the current kernel ..why?
[03:19] <Cpudan80> !mysql | kushalsejwal
[03:19] <Cpudan80> argh
[03:19] <MeVsTheVoices> My menu.1st?
[03:19] <Cpudan80> I didnt want lamp!
[03:19] <robf> yeah that...
[03:19] <robf> same thing ;p
[03:19] <AngryElf> I've got my nvidia card hooked up to my 1080P TV w/ a DVI->HDMI.  How do I definitely tell what resolution I'm viewing at? As far as I can tell I can't get the TV to tell me
[03:19] <robf> menu.lst -> grub.conf
[03:19] <Cpudan80> seektherapy: the isos from the website dont have the newest of everything
[03:19] <robf> its a symlink iirc in ubuntu
[03:19] <Cpudan80> seektherapy: you need to do sudo apt-get update
[03:19] <Cpudan80> seektherapy: then you should see the updates available in update manager
[03:20] <nightrid3r> seektherapy: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:20] <MeVsTheVoices> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109638/
[03:20] <MeVsTheVoices> Menu.1st
[03:20] <robf> ok see
[03:20] <rdw200169> AngryElf, i think 1080P is only a certain resolution
[03:20] <robf> hrm
[03:21] <MeVsTheVoices> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109639/ device.map
[03:21] <AngryElf> rdw200169: yea, but I dont know what signal is getting sent out from the video card
[03:21] <robf> MeVsTheVoices: why you mapping them around like that if its on 0 already?
[03:21] <rdw200169> AngryElf, you could see if /var/log/Xorg.0.log gives you any cles
[03:21] <rdw200169> AngryElf, clues*
[03:21] <qnn007> ﻿hi, i m new to Ubuntu.  Could someone help me with the equivalence of the rpm commands in Ubuntu?  For instance, what's the equivalence of rpm -qa?
[03:21] <MeVsTheVoices> I unno, ask grub-install
[03:21] <robf> ih nvm I see the other one..
[03:22] <robf> yeah I always do this by hand so had to wade through all the commentary
[03:22] <nightrid3r> !apt-get | qnn007
[03:22] <robf> does the second entry work ok?
[03:22] <robf> my suggestion is this
[03:22] <alexb92> hey guys, im a noob when it comes to this and i was wondering, if someone wouldbe able to help me to install ubuntu onto my external hdd
[03:22] <robf> erm
[03:22] <alexb92> i have a partition all ready to go
[03:22] <[VGN]Starlock> Hi I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04.2 and when i press enter to install all i get is a I/O Error please help (also happened with the v8.10 as well)
[03:22] <Omikane> I just installed a 20" display and for some reason it's cutting off the left side of the screen. the res is 1680:1050
[03:22] <robf> weird.   XP home edition ste is not really any diff than josh.
[03:22] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: /dev/sdb1 works
[03:22] <robf> cos you're reversing the device order...
[03:22] <qnn007> thanks, you guys are fast
[03:23] <robf> so hd1,0 = hd0,0
[03:23] <baz> nightrid3r, thanks
[03:23] <robf> is that sdb one booting the right thing?
[03:23] <chronographer> Omikane:  did you push the 'auto adjust' button?
[03:23] <chronographer> Omikane: otherwise google for modelines
[03:23] <robf> I mean is that the right windows install that sdb is supposed to load?
[03:23] <sycho> I have just recently installed 8.10 x64 and I have run into the problem that if I download and enable the fglrx drivers through "hardware drivers" when my system restarts I get the error "no screens found" and I am prompted with a terminal to login into. Has anyone else encountered this problem or know how to fix Xorg when this occurs? I've had to reinstall twice now as its the only way I could get Xorg to work again.
[03:24] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: Actually no, they're mixed up, didn't realize
[03:24] <robf> yeah
[03:24] <robf> also,   the STE one
[03:24] <qnn007> is there an equivalence of fedora's yum utility ie. yum search, yum install?
[03:24] <nightrid3r> qnn007: apt-get
[03:25] <robf> see hd0,0 down there is sda,    hd1,0 map ==-> hd0,0
[03:25] <sycho> qnn007: apt-get or aptitude
[03:25] <chronographer> qnn007: apt-cache search fire
[03:25] <robf> for the one labeled sda  I think that is incorrect also
[03:25] <robf> so it's gonna act fruity
[03:25] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: I flipped the roots
[03:25] <travmon69> (11:22:36 PM) [VGN]Starlock      cd must have a error
[03:25] <chronographer> qnn007: sudo apt-get install fire
[03:25] <robf> yeh
[03:25] <bullgard4> Where from will the command 'hostname -d' fetch its answer?
[03:25] <qnn007> thanks, i'll look into the apt-get utility
[03:25] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: No the map should map hd1 to hd0 and vice versa
[03:25] <StarlockUV> travmon69 2 times on 2 differant writes
[03:25] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: *now*
[03:25] <chronographer> qnn007: and apt-cache
[03:26] <robf> try this though
[03:26] <qnn007> what;s apt-cache
[03:26] <travmon69> i had it with 8.10
[03:26] <chronographer> it searches for packages
[03:26] <chronographer> sudo apt-get install will install
[03:26] <robf> map (hd0) (hd1) | map (hd1) (hd0) | rootnoverify  (hd1,0) | chainloader +1
[03:26] <StarlockUV> travmon69 happened on 8.10 and 8.04
[03:26] <chronographer> apt-cache search will give you a list of similar named packages
[03:26] <robf> | = newline
[03:26] <robf> you're calling root before the map which is oddball too
[03:26] <slew> does anyone know how to turn off an automatic dns suffix?
[03:26] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: After makeactive?
[03:26] <alexb92> whats the best way to install it?
[03:26] <qnn007> yah, i would need to search for a desired package prior to making a dicision to install it
[03:26] <sycho> chronofire: won't aptitude also search for packages if its not spelled correctly?
[03:26] <travmon69> i burned it  using barreso in 9.04 same image an it worked
[03:27] <StarlockUV> travmon69 using blindwrite to write iso to cd
[03:27] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: for Josh (hd1,0)?
[03:27] <chronographer> qnn007: or you can tab
[03:27] <robf> to be honest... I never used make active
[03:27] <sycho> err, chronographer ..
[03:27] <robf> so I don't even know what that does,  what I just showed you for ste...
[03:27] <chronographer> sudo apt-get install fire<tab> or ... <tab><tab>
[03:27] <chronographer> sucho?
[03:27] <robf> which one works first or second one
[03:27] <sycho> chronographer: : : won't aptitude also search for packages if its not spelled correctly?
[03:27] <travmon69> never heard of it starlockuv
[03:27] <chronographer> will it?
[03:27] <Dexi> hey guys i somehow defaulted to OSS and my music sounds kinda crappy, is this a common thing?
[03:27] <chronographer> oh aptitude
[03:27] <travmon69> what os you using?
[03:28] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: Brb
[03:28] <chronographer> I don't use aptitude.. its gui is weird .. either apt-get or synaptic for me =)
[03:28] <StarlockUV> travmon69 atm winxp trying to move to ubuntu
[03:28] <qnn007> installing wireshark now with apt-cache search followed by apt-get install :)
[03:28] <seektherapy> how can i tell if it worked  nightrid3r
[03:28] <travmon69> what speed you burnig @?
[03:29] <sycho> chronographer: I've never used apt-casche, I've never used aptitudes gui. only command line. its the same as apt-get, except it searchs for package if its not found or mispelled
[03:29] <nightrid3r> seektherapy: the output from the commands will tell you when it downloads the new kernel
[03:30] <StarlockUV> travmon69 to be honset couldnt tell with that one shall i try another and write slow speed?
[03:30] <CyL> How do I change the character encoding used ubuntu from en_US.UTF-8 to iso8859-1?
[03:30] <StarlockUV> travmon69 also it wouldnt be becuase i trying to install on a laptop would it ?
[03:31] <bullgard4> Where from will the command 'hostname -d' fetch its answer?
[03:31] <kushalsejwal> friends, I have installed ﻿mysql server now how do I run it to practise some SQL queries
[03:31] <kushalsejwal> ?
[03:31] <travmon69>  try  slower like 8 or 12 takes longer but less error
[03:31] <StarlockUV> ok
[03:31] <alexb92> is it also possible for grub to boot up a mac install?
[03:31] <travmon69> no laptop should be no prob
[03:31] <alexb92> or at least lead it to the mac bootloader?
[03:31] <StarlockUV> thanks travmon69
[03:32] <jrib> alexb92: most people use rEFIt
[03:32] <travmon69> i had that prob for 5 or 6 tries.  is it a rewriteable cd?
[03:33] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: So Xp Ste worked perfectly, but Josh just hung at starting up....
[03:33] <robf> ah ok
[03:33] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: missing Map?
[03:33] <ziroday> bullgard4: where all system files are stored in /etc. In this case /etc/hostname
[03:33] <robf> ?
[03:33] <robf> how ccan you mispell map
[03:33] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: Maybe Josh needs to map
[03:33] <robf> its 3 letters
[03:33] <robf> josh is on sda right?
[03:33] <robf> he's ok
[03:34] <MeVsTheVoices> No, sdb
[03:34] <werdnum> 03:33 < robf> how ccan you mispell map
[03:34] <werdnum> how can you misspell can
[03:34] <werdnum> it's 3 letters?
[03:34]  * werdnum wins.
[03:34] <_Vi_> werdnum: i was bout to day that too lol
[03:34] <a1fa_> i have nvidia 6600gt, but i can't get hdmi to display on tv, it works fine on the monitor.. cable is also fine with another computer and the same tv.. I am I missing anything
[03:34] <Flannel> robf, werdnum: it's offtopic.
[03:34] <werdnum> _Vi_: how can you misspell say, it's 3 letters :D
[03:34] <travmon69> your welcome starlockuv
[03:34] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: According to the interwebs only the second drive needs a map that is hd1
[03:34] <_Vi_> omg
[03:35] <robf> Flannel: .... it is relevant hat is wrong with you people in #ubuntu
[03:35] <seektherapy> what would it say nightrid3r
[03:35] <robf> anyhow...
[03:35] <Flannel> MeVsTheVoices, robf: you want to map twice.  hd0 to hd1 and hd1 to hd0 (or whatever the real numbers are), or else you wind up with two hd0s, etc.  Not happy.
[03:35] <werdnum> 03:33 < ziroday> bullgard4: where all system files are stored in /etc. In this case /etc/hostname
[03:35] <werdnum> What question was that in response to.
[03:35] <robf> Flannel: yes that isn't the issue
[03:35] <robf> that map'd ddrive works
[03:36] <robf> he's ttwo windows partitions
[03:36] <ziroday> werdnum: it was in response to bullgard4's question
[03:36] <robf> one on sda / other on sdb,   map is only needed for the slave partitoon
[03:36] <nightrid3r> !paste
[03:36] <MeVsTheVoices> Is not partition, is drive
[03:36] <werdnum> ziroday: obviously, but I can't find it. I seem to recall that it was 'Where does the information from $ hostname come from?'. If so, that's not true.
[03:36] <robf> MeVsTheVoices: the Ste one does boot yes?
[03:36] <robf> the one with the map  commands?
[03:36] <werdnum> The hostname is in the kernel, but it's reset to what's in /etc/hostname when you boot up.
[03:36] <MeVsTheVoices> No need for map when using partitions, hang on I'ma check something out
[03:37] <seektherapy> I'll just restart
[03:37] <alexb92> oh right
[03:37] <ziroday> werdnum: urgh, if he wants to change it he has to change /etc/hostname
[03:37] <alexb92> like i said before im a noob when it comes to this
[03:37] <robf> well crap
[03:37] <robf> Flannel:  he may wanna ttry rootnoverify instead of root
[03:37] <alexb92> so how do i configure that to be able to recognise the mac partition?
[03:37] <nightrid3r> seektherapy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109645/
[03:37] <bullgard4> ziroday: Your answer is wrong. The content of /etc/hostname differs from the output of the 'hostname -d' command.
[03:38] <ZerroShadows> Anyone now anything about beryl?
[03:38] <ziroday> bullgard4: well thats because you have to put the dns line into /etc/hostname
[03:38] <histo> Alright trying to share a printer that is connected to my server. I install cupsys and cupsys-client i've edited the config and told it to listen on *:631 but when I got ot he ip:631 I get a forbidden
[03:38] <dmsuperman> ZerroShadows: It's been refused into compiz-fusion
[03:39] <ZerroShadows> Is that why whenever I try to install it doesnt work?
[03:39] <travmon69> STARLOCKUV  you  trying to install from livecd or alternate install
[03:40] <seektherapy> nightrid3r: oven.. i think thats what mine did.. thanks
[03:40] <phrostbite> I have a really dumb question for you all. Is there a program that will simulate a mouse click like every few seconds or however often I determine it should do so?
[03:40] <seektherapy> dutch oven.. i meant
[03:40] <bullgard4> ziroday: Your second answer is also wrong. On another Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer the 'hostname -d'command outputs a result which is not stored in the file /etc/hostname.
[03:41] <MeVsTheVoices> Ok
[03:41] <robf> MeVsTheVoices: get it?
[03:41] <MeVsTheVoices> No
[03:41] <robf> well.. okay
[03:41] <werdnum> bullgard4: to change your hostname at runtime, type 'hostname $new_hostname'
[03:41] <robf> whats it failing on when you boot it (and confirm,  it's the first drive that is not booting,  tthe one on sdb works)
[03:41] <Gerinych> i can't convert an .rpm package into .deb, says "failed at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Rpm.rpm line 155"
[03:42] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: Now Josh boots up stehome, and stehome gets a error 13
[03:42] <MeVsTheVoices> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109646/
[03:42] <jrib> Gerinych: don't use alien (or rpm)
[03:42] <ziroday> bullgard4: if you read the man file for hostname it says it gets it from /etc/hosts
[03:43] <CyL> How do I change the $LANG environment variable for my system?
[03:43] <Gerinych> jrib, well, i can't find a .deb package for what i'm trying to install
[03:43] <seektherapy> nightrid3r: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109647/
[03:43] <robf> MeVsTheVoices: try rootnoverify insteaad of root
[03:43] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: I changed it back to steve having the maps and rootnoverify
[03:43] <jrib> Gerinych: try telling us what you are trying to install?
[03:43] <jrib> CyL: why?
[03:43] <robf> MeVsTheVoices: do you know what the purpose of the remapping is?
[03:43] <phrostbite> I have a really dumb question for you all. Is there a program that will simulate a mouse click like every few seconds or however often I determine it should do so?
[03:43] <Gerinych> trying to install LaCie LightScribe Labeler, but there's no .deb package and .rpm won't convert with Alien.
[03:44] <nightrid3r> seektherapy: you already have the latest SUPPORTED kernel
[03:44] <robf> (windows requires it be the first drive...and never second)   so if it is installed on sda(1) then map is not required,  in fact it will not work
[03:44] <CyL> jrib: I want it to show the correct characters when I use dead keys on the keyboard...
[03:44] <jobot11011> What is a good server to connect?
[03:44] <jobot11011> Does anyone know?
[03:44] <bullgard4> ziroday: I am reading 'man hostname(1) dated 28 Jan 1996. What line in it do you refer to?
[03:45] <robf> jobot11011: for what
[03:45] <jobot11011> I don't know for just meeting people and chatting I guess.
[03:45] <ziroday> bullgard4: Line 30, about the FQDN
[03:45] <jobot11011> And for computer related chat.
[03:46] <seektherapy> nightrid3r: thats after i did the upgrade
[03:46] <robf> most linux OS distro names-chat  or -offtopic,   #ubuntu-offtopic  #gentoo-chat etc.
[03:46] <CyL> jrib: Can you tell me how do I do that
[03:46] <nightrid3r> jobot11011: youre already there for the computer part
[03:46] <robf> you'll find them to be full of people who talk versus tell you to hush for being off topic..
[03:47] <MeVsTheVoices> With ste as rootnoverify and no maps at all, no work
[03:47] <robf> its not going to
[03:47] <robf> ste is on sdb
[03:47] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: No, ste is on sda
[03:47] <robf> oh.
[03:47] <jrib> CyL: are you sure that resolves your issues?  ie changing LANG now fixes things?
[03:47] <seektherapy> nightrid3r: now i need to figure out how to install the latest creative driver to get my sound working
[03:47] <robf> MeVsTheVoices: thats not what is going on in the paste you showed me
[03:47] <robf> you're booting from sdb
[03:48] <PB_G3> when I boot with my Lucent Tech ORiNOCO PCMCIA wireless card on my PB G3, it crashes or panics an days Oops: Machine check, sig:7
[03:48] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: I know, I changed it
[03:48] <PB_G3> and a whole lot of hex
[03:48] <robf> you're mounting root @ hd1,0 (sdb1)
[03:48] <robf> so that partition works
[03:48] <robf> which should be josh
[03:48] <CyL> jrib: I'm not sure, but I really don't know what to do anymore... I'm struggling with this for more than a week now...
[03:48] <MeVsTheVoices> Map the drive FROM_DRIVE to the drive TO_DRIVE. This is necessary
[03:48] <MeVsTheVoices>     when you chain-load some operating systems, such as DOS, if such
[03:48] <MeVsTheVoices>     an OS resides at a non-first drive.
[03:48] <bullgard4> ziroday: My manual says: "Usually ... you can change it in /etc/hosts." This is not what you told me.
[03:48] <jrib> CyL: what exactly is happening?
[03:48] <robf> grub 13 is saying it doesn't know what the hell it is. you sure that windows install is in working order?
[03:48] <d0netsFN> hey could someone plesae help me with grub?
[03:48] <nightrid3r> seektherapy: that will probably require compiling, i cant help you with that one
[03:48] <xenophile> wtf: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/webalizer/webalizer_2.01.10-31_amd64.deb  404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.46 80]
[03:48] <d0netsFN> im having issues
[03:49] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: Yes, they both will run by themselves if I run from BIOS
[03:49] <Melik> guys i did ctrl + alt + F4, and now im in a shell how can i switch back to my GUI?
[03:49] <seektherapy> figured
[03:49] <d0netsFN> i installed a new hard drive and grub said bootmgr was missing, so i inserted the vista disk to repair startup, now i get error 22 in grub
[03:49] <PB_G3> ctrl + alt + F7
[03:49] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: I really fucking hate grub, its been nothing but problems, I miss my lilo alot
[03:49] <robf> lilo is balls,  grub is so much better
[03:49] <nickrud> MeVsTheVoices, so install lilo (and please, think disney for language guidelines)
[03:49] <nightrid3r> xenophile: mirror is probably out of sync try again in 1 hour
[03:50] <robf> but thats an argument for elsewhere
[03:50] <d0netsFN> robf then help me fix my grub
[03:50] <robf> I'm trying
[03:50] <aron> hi,I want to change my dns server to OpenDNS,but every time i restart my computer,the file will be change to default one,I use ADSL,ubuntu8.10
[03:50] <CyL> jrib: I cannot have the right characters displayed when I type some key combinations (for example '+c should give me cedilla, and not ć, and '+m shoul give me 'm, and not ḿ)...
[03:50] <robf> oh not you
[03:50] <robf> I'm working on MeVsTheVoices at them oment you'll be in queue
[03:50] <nickrud> :) don't mind me
[03:50]  * PB_G3 says lilo is a small man
[03:50] <ziroday> bullgard4: I thought you would work it out and I didn't have to spell it all out for you
[03:50] <mr_polite> 8.10 is absolute garbage. "upgrades" arent supposed to brake useable systems. just patch my security holes and introduce STABLE enhancments. PulseAudio sucks and NVIDIAs closed source drivers for the new Xorg suck
[03:50] <MeVsTheVoices> Disney just funded a film about a small kid getting gassed in Nazi Germany, that is way in line
[03:50] <travmon69> d0netsFN  fix grub with supergrub disc
[03:50] <PB_G3> ok, MR_POLITE
[03:50] <xenophile> nightrid3r: thank you
[03:51] <d0netsFN> link?
[03:51] <d0netsFN> and is it automatic?
[03:51] <ziroday> mr_polite: then use 8.04
[03:51] <robf> MeVsTheVoices: anyhow,  you sure about the partition also?  sda1?
[03:51] <d0netsFN> cause i dunno wtf im doing
[03:51] <MeVsTheVoices> travmon69: i cannot, the current super grub disk refuses to support ext3 filesystems, and I'm on 8.10
[03:51] <MeVsTheVoices> robf: Yes
[03:51] <whatev> is there a better gui irc client for gnome than xchat?
[03:51] <travmon69> ?  google for supergrub disk
[03:51] <jobot11011> So this is just Ubuntu then...  anyone in here running Ubuntu on a eeepc?
[03:51] <PB_G3> when I boot with my Lucent Tech ORiNOCO PCMCIA wireless card on my PB G3, it crashes or panics an days Oops: Machine check, sig:7 and a whole lot of hex
[03:51] <jrib> CyL: well you can change the language at the login screen, just click on options.  I don't know about what you ask though
[03:51] <Melik> thank you PB_G3, also i have one more question how can i kill X?
[03:51] <ziroday> whatev: there is pidgin and xchat-gnome. What are you looking for exactly?
[03:51] <chaddy> whatev: try pidgin
[03:51] <MeVsTheVoices> travmon69: No, super grub disk will not work with 8.10
[03:51] <mr_polite> ziroday: were i sane id still be using 8.04, but i figured 3 months after release 8.10 would be stable
[03:51] <d0netsFN> yea im using ubuntu 8.10 too
[03:51] <whatev> ziroday something like mirc, with tabs
[03:51] <d0netsFN> so it wont work
[03:52] <d0netsFN> this sucks
[03:52] <MeVsTheVoices> travmon69: A fantastic lesson that took me hours to diagnose
[03:52] <ziroday> whatev: xchat has tabs
[03:52] <travmon69> really i never had grub issuse since 6.06
[03:52] <d0netsFN> i hate the world
[03:52] <ziroday> whatev: so does pidgin
[03:52] <john522> xchat sux compared to mirc no offense
[03:52] <whatev> does pidgin have as many features as xchat?
[03:52] <CyL> jrib: changing the language on the login screen wouldn't change my system interface language?
[03:52]  * MeVsTheVoices kicks grub until it bleeds
[03:52] <nightrid3r> PB_G3: weird thats an ancient card and has always worked with linux, might be hardware problem
[03:52] <jrib> CyL: it would
[03:52] <ziroday> whatev: not quite, try both out and compare
[03:52] <PB_G3> Melik: killall X
[03:52] <whatev> ok
[03:52] <Melik> ok sec
[03:52] <Melik> let me try it
[03:52] <travmon69> what about ultimate boot cd?
[03:52] <urugTON>  #ubuntu-arizona
[03:52] <jrib> CyL: even if that's not what you want, try it to see if it fixes the issue
[03:53] <bullgard4> ziroday: I see.
[03:53] <robf> MeVsTheVoices: I see nothing wrong with the grub.conf
[03:53] <robf> menu.lst or whatever you want.
[03:53] <urugTON> #ubuntu-arizona
[03:53] <MeVsTheVoices> travmon69: That'd be great if it weren't using super grub disk for the grub stuffs
[03:53] <Melik> PB_G3,  i get..  X: No processes killed
[03:53] <robf> why do you even do that?
[03:53] <ziroday> urugTON: you have to type in /join #ubuntu-arizona :)
[03:53] <nightrid3r> travmon69: look at hirens boot cd
[03:53] <john522> is there a Ubuntu texas??
[03:53] <PB_G3> type init 3
[03:53] <ziroday> john522: yes
[03:53] <robf> why not just use standard grub from ubuntu install and manually add the fcrap you need, what in the world is a super grub disc
[03:53] <travmon69> oh my bad
[03:53] <CyL> jrib: just a second please, I'll see if that works
[03:54] <MeVsTheVoices> john522: That'd imply theres a knowledgeable person in Texas
[03:54] <Melik> still same thing :/
[03:54] <PB_G3> reboot
[03:54] <Melik> i even tried to running it as root
[03:54] <robf> d0netsFN: what is happening when you try to boot?
[03:54] <Glu3_> I am getting a driver compile error and I am unsure how to solve it http://paste.ubuntu.com/109649/
[03:54] <urugTON> #ubuntu-us-az
[03:54] <d0netsFN> well right now i get error 22 with grub
[03:54] <alexb92> hey guys
[03:54] <nightrid3r> MeVsTheVoices: there is but he's wise enough to hide :)
[03:55] <MeVsTheVoices> nightrid3r: HAHAHAH
[03:55] <d0netsFN> before it would boot grub but when i hit vista bootloader it said missing bootmgr
[03:55] <skate2>  /quit
[03:55] <alexb92> do you know how to install ubuntu onto an external hdd with a prepared partition?
[03:55] <bullgard4> Where from will the command 'hostname -d' fetch its answer?
[03:55] <werdnum> the kernel.
[03:55] <robf> heh
[03:55] <robf> d0netsFN: you sure that partition exists?
[03:55] <d0netsFN> what partition
[03:55] <robf> d0netsFN: where is your windows installed
[03:55] <robf> the windows partition at the bottom of that grub conf.
[03:55] <travmon69> nightrid3r i'll check it out  but i been lucky with grub since 6.06
[03:55] <MeVsTheVoices> grub--, grub--,grub--
[03:55] <robf> what're you trying to boot that is returnign error 22?
[03:55] <urugTON> ubuntu-us-az
[03:56] <d0netsFN> when i could get into ubuntu i did fdisk -l and it looked like my OS drive was sdd
[03:56] <d0netsFN> robf
[03:56] <d0netsFN> nothing
[03:56] <robf> sdd?
[03:56] <d0netsFN> its right after it says GRUB loading, please wait...
[03:56] <d0netsFN> then Error 22
[03:56] <robf> error 22 = partition isn't there
[03:56] <d0netsFN> so wtf does that mean
[03:56] <robf> you're telling it to mount a partition that is not there.
[03:57] <robf> it means you're saying root(hdx,y)   where x,y is not a valid existing partition
[03:57] <CyL> jrib: Changing tha languagem at the login screen partiallly worked
[03:57] <somethingtodo> bullguard4:    /proc/sys/kernel/hostname     you can write to that proc file to change it without rebooting, but it will reset after boot if you don't change it in the config files too.
[03:57] <robf> what entry is it that does not boot? d0netsFN
[03:57] <travmon69> error 17 is messed up grub menu?
[03:57] <robf> 17 means it can't mount selected partition
[03:58] <robf> for whatever reason...
[03:58] <CyL> jrib: some characters are now displayed the correct way, others don't
[03:58] <robf> usually because the partition type is unknown eg.  grub doesn't understand the partition type.
[03:58] <d0netsFN> robf
[03:58] <travmon69> ok
[03:58] <d0netsFN> grub doesnt liste the entries
[03:58] <d0netsFN> it just gives the erro
[03:58] <d0netsFN> r
[03:58] <alexb92> ??
[03:58] <robf> wait what?
[03:58] <robf> hrm
[03:59] <robf> meh...whoever though using uuid isn't of hd(x,y) designations needs to be throat slit
[03:59] <robf> I hate this.
[03:59] <nightrid3r> CyL: you probably need to instaal support for your language
[03:59] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I just took an Sata out of a windows machine and pluged it into my ubuntu machine.... I was going to format it and use it in the ubuntu machine but its not showing up under computer ..... suggestions?
[03:59] <CyL> nightrid3r: I already installed it...
[03:59] <Paddy_EIRE> !gparted | U-b-u-n-t-u
[03:59] <robf> d0netsFN: how did you set up grub?
[04:00] <d0netsFN> i didnt
[04:00] <robf> d0netsFN: who did?
[04:00] <d0netsFN> i just reinstalled ubuntu today
[04:00] <robf> or what , rather
[04:00] <robf> so its livecd installer
[04:00] <d0netsFN> it was working fine until i installed a new sata drive
[04:00] <robf> yeah
[04:00] <ALEKSEY> connect 193.17.253.65:27015      Counter-Strike 1.6
[04:00] <robf> that makes sense
[04:00] <veritos> Is there a way to control more precisely which suggested packages are installed?
[04:00] <U-b-u-n-t-u> Paddy_EIRE so I need to use gparted before its even showing up under computer?
[04:01] <whatev> is there a way to make it so i can edit the files in /var/www/ (my document root) without having to sudo to root? having to do so makes it really hard for my custom vimrc to work
[04:01] <nightrid3r> U-b-u-n-t-u: yes
[04:01] <reduz_> HELP!: hi, my sound dies in a DADADADADADADA loop (buffer repeating all the time) and sound completely stops in ubuntu, any clue?
[04:01] <robf> I'm guuessing this d0netsFN  you installed a new drive,  and grub is looking for hd(x)  and you installing that drive moved thigns aeround
[04:01] <robf> so it cannot find /boot
[04:01] <CyL> jrib: Do you thing changing $LANG will help to solve the issue?
[04:01] <robf> and thus is lost
[04:01] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok going to use gparted then thanks nightrid3r and Paddy_EIRE
[04:01] <chaddy> whatev: change permissions on the directory
[04:01] <jtaji> whatev: you could make yourself the owner of /var/www
[04:01] <whatev> is it ok to do so?
[04:02] <d0netsFN> well robf right now i unplugged all the other drives
[04:02] <d0netsFN> all but my os drive
[04:02] <d0netsFN> i have tried all 4 sata ports
[04:02] <d0netsFN> and i get error 21
[04:02] <whatev> do i just: chown whatev /var/www?
[04:02] <robf> d0netsFN: my suggestion?   reinstall grub
[04:02] <jtaji> whatev: yep, you'll need sudo
[04:02] <somethingtodo> reduz_: you can do what I have to do every other day when my sound stops:     alsa --force-reload
[04:02] <robf> get into linux,   type grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda
[04:02] <nightrid3r> whatev: chown -r
[04:03] <d0netsFN> can i do it without reinstalling ubuntu
[04:03] <robf> where /dev/[hda]  = your drive where /boot resides
[04:03] <CyL> Getting my keyboard to work as expected in Ubuntu is being so creepy that I don't realize how harder tasks were made so easy... could someone please indicate me a reading about entirely remapping the keyboard in Ubuntu?
[04:03] <whatev> -R ?
[04:03] <jtaji> whatev: yeah use -R
[04:03] <whatev> thanks
[04:03] <yuriy_> would ubuntu make a good os for my server that has to run without reboot for the next 15 years?
[04:03] <robf> d0netsFN:  yes you can
[04:03] <jrib> CyL: you said it was a compose issue
[04:03] <robf> you just need to do that from a root prompt
[04:03] <robf> and point it as your drive with /boot
[04:04] <robf> so if it's on sdc
[04:04] <d0netsFN> screw it im just about ot start over
[04:04] <d0netsFN> and format the ubuntu partitionj
[04:04] <d0netsFN> and reinstall grub
[04:04] <robf> then you'd type 'grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/sdc'
[04:04] <robf> yo don't have to do that ;)
[04:04] <reduz_> somethingtodo, i tried that, but it seems to be completely fucked up (still doesn't work) if i reboot, it works fine
[04:04] <d0netsFN> i just worry that it wont pick up my windows bootmgr again
[04:04] <d0netsFN> and then i will be back at square 1
[04:04] <robf> thats not an issue
[04:04] <robf> I'll help you with that
[04:04] <robf> just do what I just told ya
[04:04] <d0netsFN> so robf do i type that from the live cd?
[04:05] <CyL> jrib: well, I believe it is, since all the keys seem to be in the right place... anyway, how may I change the composing pattern?
[04:05] <robf> sure
[04:05] <somethingtodo> reduz_: is pulseaudio running?
[04:05] <robf> as long as it has grub on it
[04:05] <robf> well grub-install
[04:05] <robf> lemme see if it does
[04:05] <reduz_> somethingtodo, oh wait, i tried starting jack and it works, but no alsa app works
[04:05] <somethingtodo> reduz_: and do you have a soundcard listed (aplay -l should print it out for you)?
[04:05] <reduz_> somethingtodo, no idea, how do i test?
[04:05] <robf> it does d0netsFN
[04:05] <somethingtodo> ps -A | grep pulseaudio
[04:06] <robf> actually no wait
[04:06] <robf> don't do that
[04:06] <robf> lol
[04:06] <reduz_> somethingtodo, nope, nothing
[04:06] <robf> I'm retarded hold on lemme get you exactly what to do here d0netsFN
[04:06] <hubar> hi Does anyone know where do I change the setting for kubuntu power management? (like for lid closed)
[04:06] <somethingtodo> run this:  pulseaudio -D
[04:06] <robf> cos you've got some weird set up there as it stands with drives moved about n such
[04:06] <_Vi_> anyone know a good and free online wiki?
[04:06] <whatev> it's amazing how much faster you learn linux when you use it as your own o/s rather than just having an ssh account on someone elses
[04:07] <reduz_>  pulseaudio -D
[04:07] <reduz_> W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
[04:07] <reduz_> but it seems to have worked
[04:08] <jrib> CyL: no idea how compose is configured.  What you described is normal behavior afaik.  cedilla for example, you should get by composing ,c
[04:08] <reduz_> somethingtodo, oh, it works again after i started pulseaudio
[04:09] <srid> is it possible to install packages by compiling from source much like gentoo?
[04:09] <U-b-u-n-t-u> after scanning with gparted the partition didnt show up nightrid3r and Paddy_EIRE
[04:09] <CyL> jrib: now I'm getting cedille, but I wouldn't like to get ḿ qhen I type '+m...
[04:09] <somethingtodo> cool.   I opened a bug for that here:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/315824, feel free to add info if you find anything else about it.
[04:09] <srid> dependencies must also be automatically compiled
[04:09] <jrib> CyL: what do you want to get?
[04:09] <CyL> jrib: it is so strange, because other linux distros used to work perfectly on my system
[04:09] <ardchoille> srid: It is, but remember to check the repos before you go through all of that
[04:09] <Ahadiel> !checkinstall | srid
[04:10] <nightrid3r> U-b-u-n-t-u: could be that your sata controller is not supported
[04:10] <ott0> how can i get it so i can type the first letters of a folder's name and have nautilus select it?
[04:10] <srid> Ahadiel: checkinstall won't install dependent package sources
[04:10] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ah
[04:10] <CyL> jrgp: I would like to get 'm (accents anly have meaning above vowels in portuguese)...
[04:10] <Ahadiel> srid, Oh yeah, that's right.
[04:10] <srid> ardchoille: any pointers?
[04:10] <ott0> for me, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't
[04:10] <U-b-u-n-t-u> its an ECS mobo
[04:10] <U-b-u-n-t-u> older one even
[04:10] <Ahadiel> srid, apt-get build-dep packagename?
[04:11] <srid> oh
[04:11] <srid> if I want to compile python2.6?
[04:11] <jrib> CyL: but 'm shouldn't be doing anything unless you also press the compose key
[04:11] <CyL> jrib: it is such a stupid behaviour for portugues that I don't uderstand why the portuguese implementation of ubuntu embraces it...
[04:11] <Ahadiel> Assuming it has the same deps as the python version in the repos.
[04:11] <Ahadiel> srid, ^
[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] <ardchoille> srid: 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. compile
[04:11] <jtaji> _Vi_: it asks when it needs to install packages beyond what you've specified
[04:11] <_Vi_> ah makes sense thanks jtaji
[04:12] <srid> ardchoille: 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 here
[04:12] <jesus_ur_saviour> hi
[04:12] <hubar> hmm Does anyone know? @@
[04:12] <CyL> jrib: I'm not pressing the compose key, and I get ḿ all the time I typ '+m
[04:12] <ardchoille> srid: you can always compile, but beware that the package manager won't manage things if you compile and you need to resolve deps yourself
[04:13] <rdw200169> _Vi_, stuff coming from the main repo doesn't ask, i think
[04:13] <Ahadiel> srid, If you want a somewhat source-friendly distro try Archlinux
[04:13] <srid> ardchoille: so apt-get build-dep is no better than doing a 'make' and 'make install' by hand?
[04:13] <Ahadiel> srid, No, apt-get build-dep grabs the dependencies for the specified package.
[04:14] <ardchoille> srid: you can't always guarantee that the deps will be in the repos
[04:14] <srid> Ahadiel: I was looking at archlinux before, but sadly the ubuntu live cd does not allow me to burn any ISO :(
[04:14] <srid> as the cd is already mounted
[04:14] <PB_G3> Help, My Lucent Tech ORiNOCO Silver 802.11b Wireless PC card isn't letting ubuntu 8.04 ppc boot info: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/109655/
[04:14] <CyL> jrib: What I mean is that the ' should only be composed with some keys
[04:14] <jvai> what would be the best software to turn my current install/configuration into an .ISO image?
[04:14] <jrib> CyL: what option in system -> preference -> keyboard -> layout does that?  That's not normal behavior
[04:14] <Ahadiel> srid, I think you can copy it to ram
[04:14] <srid> Ahadiel: how so?
[04:14] <Paddy_EIRE> !best | jvai
[04:14] <Ahadiel> srid, I'll look it up right now
[04:15] <jtaji> jvai: what are you trying to do?
[04:15] <srid> Ahadiel: i tried boot options.. but there isn't way to make it load in ram
[04:15] <Arrick> hey, what is "Manage system with Landscape" on the server install
[04:15] <CyL> jrib: US International (with dead keys)
[04:15] <Aug> hi2all! can any help me?
[04:15] <Paddy_EIRE> !ask | Aug
[04:15] <jtaji> Arrick: landscape is a Canonical product to manage multiple systems
[04:15] <irfan> hello
[04:15] <_Vi_> just use puppy cd to make the ubuntu cd, i know for sure puppy can be suspended to ram, so you can use your burner
[04:16] <jvai> jtaji i want to make an image or back -up of my current install from wallpaper to apps , also email configs & printing
[04:16] <Guest34383> cahbserver:i want to ask a question
[04:16] <arooni> is there a way to make ubuntu dload & install ALL updates in the background?  im really tired of seeing the red/orange arrow clickin on it, and following the prompts
[04:16] <jrib> CyL: hmm, well I know how to modify a keyboard layout.  I guess that stuff should be defined there.  Read /usr/share/doc/xkb-data/README.Debian
[04:16] <CITguy09> Is there a way of updating Hardy to the 2.24 GNOME without installing the Ibex crap?
[04:16] <jvai> sysremaster?
[04:16] <jrib> CITguy09: no
[04:16] <Guest34383> chanserver: i want to ask a question
[04:16] <Arrick> ahh ok, thanks jtaji
[04:17] <jtaji> jvai: http://clonezilla.org/
[04:17] <Ahadiel> srid, hrm, seems to requrie alot of work https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM
[04:17] <_Vi_> !ask | Guest34383
[04:17] <Ahadiel> srid, I know in other distros you could just append "toram" or "copy2ram" to the boot line.
[04:17] <srid> Ahadiel: I vaguely remember doing that in knoppix once upon a time
[04:17] <CyL> jrib: 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 keys
[04:18] <Ahadiel> srid, If you have a spare USB stick ( > 512 ) you can put the arch installer on it
[04:18] <srid> Ahadiel: 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 interface
[04:18] <Ahadiel> srid, k
[04:18] <srid> Ahadiel: I tried that too (put arch img in 8gb usb stick.. but grub failed with error 17)
[04:19] <ardchoille> srid: Have you looked at fluxbox?
[04:19] <jvai> jtaji ahhh thanks! let me see if i can burn it to a disk a experiment with this
[04:19] <Ahadiel> srid, Strange.
[04:19] <srid> ardchoille: 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] <Ahadiel> srid, How did you copy the img over? dd?
[04:19] <Aug> !ask Iam use Ubuntu Server 8.04. it work all ok. i changed motherboard from ASUS P5B-VM to ASUS P5K-VM... Problem: it is long loading on load modprobe modules... very long on: [    6.221367] ACPI: Power Button (CM) [PWRB] [  185.761627] loop: module loaded    How it tune?
[04:19] <ardchoille> srid: Ah, ok
[04:19] <srid> Ahadiel: yes. dd if=arch.img of=/dev/...
[04:19] <jrib> CyL: right, you can probably modify the dead key behavior in the layout.  I've never looked into this though
[04:20] <PB_G3> HELLO!
[04:20] <ZerroShadows> What is the <super> key?
[04:20] <srid> what is !ask Aug?
[04:20] <_Vi_> windows key
[04:20] <Ahadiel> ZerroShadows, The Windows key generally.
[04:20] <ohhai> How do I get Linux Kernel Sources (required by ALSA)?
[04:20] <ZerroShadows> Thanks
[04:20] <rdw200169> ZerroShadows, it's also the Mac key on mac keyboards
[04:20] <newb> I like Ubuntu <3
[04:21] <srid> ardchoille: I have a feeling that GNOME takes up a lot of screen space. it is as if I'm working on a 800x600 resolution although the actual pixel resolutin is 1400x...
[04:21] <CyL> jrib: is there a way I can keep in touch with debian developers to complain abot this?
[04:21] <Aug> mmm...
[04:21] <whatev> in ubuntu how can i change apache's docroot from /var/www/ to /media/usb/docroot?
[04:22] <newb> I'm new to Linux,sorry.
[04:22] <Fire_Lord> newb, huh?
[04:22] <ardchoille> srid: I have 1400x1050 and got rid of the bottom panel (put everything on one panel) and it looks fine to me. But you need to be comfy so.. :)
[04:22] <rdw200169> whatev, /etc/apache2/site-available/default
[04:22] <nightrid3r> whatev: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[04:22] <newb> Yeah!
[04:22] <jrib> CyL: bugs.ubuntu.com
[04:22] <rdw200169> whatev, or something like that
[04:22] <CyL> jrib: thanks...
[04:22] <newb> Fire_Lord.
[04:23] <im> newb: if you are new to linux welcome, now sit back and enjoy the chat:)
[04:23] <newb> Thanks..
[04:23] <Fire_Lord> ohhai, apt-get install linux-(whatever version you are running)-headers
[04:23] <whatev> yeah which one do i edit though the site-available one or the direct apache2.conf
[04:23] <jtaji> whatev: the clean way is by working in /etc/apache2/sites-available/, you'll need to edit default as a start
[04:23] <im> Newb - you will learn alot:)
[04:23] <Fire_Lord> something like that, there should be code for that version stuff..
[04:23] <ZerroShadows> Thank you very much
[04:23] <Ahadiel> Fire_Lord, sudo apt-get install linux-`uname -r`-headers
[04:23] <ZerroShadows> Just installed Ubuntu and compiz fusion today.
[04:23] <rdw200169> whatev, my version has a Include line vor /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
[04:23] <jtaji> whatev: look into the a2ensite and a2dissite commands too
[04:24] <ZerroShadows> So far I love it
[04:24] <rdw200169> whatev, and in there was the file 'default'
[04:24] <Fire_Lord> ohhai, what Ahadiel said. :)
[04:24] <rdw200169> whatev, which contained all the actual site config stuff
[04:24] <ohhai> Thanks!
[04:24] <rdw200169> whatev, then you set DocumentRoot
[04:25] <MethinX> anyone know of a Ubuntu torrent, or Linux only torrent site? some place that gives like linux native games ? that are free, not illegal?
[04:25] <d0netsFN> isnt a TB == 1024 GB?
[04:25] <srid> hmm, installation is stuck at the stage 'configuring apt' scanning the mirror....
[04:25] <whatev> ok
[04:25] <d0netsFN> why the F is this drive only 931.51 GB?
[04:25] <jtaji> whatev: you could create your own file there and just disable default, it's up to you
[04:25] <Aug> Iam use Ubuntu Server 8.04. it work all ok. i changed motherboard from ASUS P5B-VM to ASUS P5K-VM... Problem: it is long loading on load modprobe modules... very long on: [    6.221367] ACPI: Power Button (CM) [PWRB] [  185.761627] loop: module loaded    How it tune?
[04:26] <rdw200169> d0netsFN, you're thinking of the distinction b/w bits and bytes
[04:26] <werdnum> d0netsFN: when drive manufacturers sell their disks, they think 1000 GB = 1 TB
[04:26] <werdnum> because it's much easier.
[04:26] <werdnum> to sell them
[04:26] <Fire_Lord> MethinX, linux native games? have you checked the apt repos for some games?
[04:26] <d0netsFN> ok i will deal with 1000, but where did the other 70 gigs go
[04:26] <d0netsFN> 70 gigs is lots of space...
[04:26] <srid> d0netsFN: my guess is that according to manufacturer, 1 TB = 1000x1000x1000 bytes. also - some data is wasted as unused partitions.
[04:27] <rdw200169> d0netsFN, they explain here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte
[04:27] <tleuser> 55
[04:27] <MethinX> Will redhat games work in Ubuntu?
[04:28] <ardchoille> MethinX: redhat games? Can you list some?
[04:29] <arooni> is there a way to make ubuntu dload & install ALL updates in the background?  im really tired of seeing the red/orange arrow clickin on it, and following the prompts
[04:29] <MethinX> unfortunately Im alittle confused as to what if any difference between the different Linux's, like win98 games work in win vista if you do some tinkering
[04:29] <phiqtion> !games
[04:29] <newb> !games
[04:29] <newb> =p
[04:29] <MethinX> !games
[04:29] <d0netsFN> aroonie yes
[04:29] <nightrid3r> arooni: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:29] <d0netsFN> go to system/admin/software sourfces
[04:29] <Aug> who can help with modules on load...
[04:29] <d0netsFN> theres an option to run updates in the background
[04:29] <phiqtion> what is the best way to play age of empires III on ubuntu?
[04:29] <ardchoille> MethinX: open a terminal and run:  apt-cache search game
[04:30] <d0netsFN> you might have to do it in synaptic
[04:30] <arooni> nightrid3r, i can put that in sudo crontab right?  how often should i do it?  nightly?
[04:30] <Fire_Lord> phiqtion, do you know if it runs on linux?
[04:30] <Arrick> !static IP
[04:30] <nightrid3r> arooni: yes that sounds ok
[04:30] <Arrick> what the heck
[04:30] <Fire_Lord> !static
[04:30] <rdw200169> arooni, check System -> Administration -> Software Sources; then check the Updates tab.  check 'Install security updates w/out confirmation'
[04:30] <Fire_Lord> ack, that did nothing
[04:30] <phiqtion> Fire_Lord: according to this, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3795&iTestingId=36407 , yes
[04:30] <arooni> nightrid3r, when i type 'sudo crontab -e'  do i need to use sudo within the crontab file?
[04:30] <newb> It's helpful unlike windows.
[04:30] <arooni> rdw200169, but i want all updates ! ;p
[04:30] <Arrick> someone have a sample, or link to the wiki on how to setup a static IP on the LTS server install?
[04:30] <Fire_Lord> phiqtion, yeah, thats in wine... do you have wine installed?
[04:30] <MethinX> do KDE games work in gnome?
[04:30] <Arrick> (Its not the gui stuff)
[04:31] <nyaa> MethinX if you want to install redhat packages in ubuntu look up alien in synaptic package manager
[04:31] <ardchoille> MethinX: yes
[04:31] <phiqtion> Fire_Lord: yes sir
[04:31] <Fire_Lord> MethinX, yeah, as long as you let apt pull down the packages for KDE
[04:31] <newb> CTRL+F1.
[04:31] <MethinX> thank you everyone you all rock
[04:31] <ardchoille> MethinX: Alien is dangerous, I recommend you don't use it
[04:31] <ardchoille> !alien
[04:31] <rdw200169> all that typing just to get yelled at!
[04:32] <nightrid3r> rdw200169: nice tip, thanks
[04:32] <MethinX> thanks ubottu, nyaa, Fire_Lord and ardchoille
[04:32] <Fire_Lord> phiqtion, looks like its supposed to work good... in the terminal, jsut run wine setup.exe
[04:32] <xnevermore> Hey guys. I keep getting the error "Not configured to listen on any interfaces!" when trying to run dhcp3-server. does anyone know what could cause this error?

[04:33] <Arrick> how can the bot not have a link to setting up a static ip in here
[04:33] <nightrid3r> ardchoille: alien will allow you to shoot in your foot, don't use it
[04:33] <ardchoille> nightrid3r: exactly
[04:33] <newb> I'll be back later,Thanks Fire_Lord.
[04:33] <phiqtion> Fire_Lord: is there nother app to play games on linux?
[04:33] <rdw200169> xnevermore, you have to put the interface you intend to run a dhcp server on in between the ""
[04:34] <Fire_Lord> newb, wine allows you to run some windows programs on linux
[04:34] <jtaji> arooni: you might want to check out the cron-apt package
[04:34] <Fire_Lord> phiqtion, wine is the one that i am most familiar with for running windows games on linux
[04:35] <xnevermore> rdw200169: when searching the net for a solution, I found that many times. I have tried that with no luck
[04:35] <ardchoille> phiqtion: What types of games?
[04:35] <phiqtion> ardchoille: windows games
[04:35] <ardchoille> phiqtion: Thanks for narrowing it down
[04:36] <phiqtion> ardchoille: no problem
[04:36] <TraceRoute> do any of you have ushare installed?
[04:36] <jayway> hey
[04:36] <xnevermore> rdw200169: I think I may have to set eth0 to a static ip. where would i go about doing this?
[04:37] <jayway> who uses crunch bang linux
[04:37] <whatev> if i sudo mkdir /media/usb/ will that directory remain there forever so i can mount files to it?
[04:38] <ardchoille> whatev: unless you rm it
[04:38] <rdw200169> xnevermore, you also need a subnet declaration in your dhcp3 config that matches the network assigned to the interface it listens on
[04:39] <rdw200169> xnevermore, 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 work
[04:39] <rdw200169> xnevermore, then tell the dhcp3 server that the gateway is 192.168.0.1
[04:39] <rdw200169> xnevermore, /24 is = 255.255.255.0 subnet, i.e. 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255
[04:39] <bullgard4> Although 2 Ubuntu-8.04.2 computers are in the same LAN, they respond to 'hostname -d' differently. Why?
[04:40] <Cpudan80> How can I show the progress bar in an embedded mplayer window?
[04:40] <Cpudan80> It had one ... but it went away
[04:40] <foxjazz> how do you make the screen saver not lock the computer
[04:40] <robf> foxjazz: turn off lock timer
[04:40] <rdw200169> xnevermore, the ip range in the dhcp3 config *has* to fit inside the subnet assigned to the interface
[04:41] <rdw200169> xnevermore, 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 dhcp
[04:41] <foxjazz> robf yea, I see that icon on my desktop
[04:41] <robf> there's an icon for it?
[04:42] <robf> it should be under the options for yer screensaver under system somewhere
[04:42] <ZerroShadows> I came =D
[04:42] <ryanprior> How do I tell a process what CPU core to run on?
[04:42] <arooni> jtaji, what does that mean
[04:42] <arooni> jtaji, how does it work
[04:43] <Tully12> does anyone have a xorg.conf for a 9800gtx? im getting a no screens found error
[04:43] <rdw200169> Tully12, chances are you need the *latest* nvidia drivers...
[04:43] <Tully12> rdw200169, i just installed them
[04:43] <TraceRoute> would 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] <rdw200169> Tully12, you've installed nvidia-glx, or newer?
[04:43] <foxjazz> sorry wrong OS
[04:43] <Tully12> got 180 off nvidia site
[04:44] <rdw200169> Tully12, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:44] <tritium> Tully12: 180 is in the repositories.  Use the ubuntu packages.
[04:44] <Tully12> under the restricted drivers only 177 is there
[04:44] <rdw200169> Tully12, but the Xorg logs are a little tricky; go to that directory, and read the Xorg file with the most recent timestamp using ls -l
[04:44] <Fire_Lord> TraceRoute, a symbolic link to it? wouldnt you want to have ushare access /dev/sda1 mounted somewhere? like /media/windows?
[04:44] <rdw200169> Tully12, chances are, there's a kernel module mismatch
[04:44] <Fire_Lord> TraceRoute, unless i am confused what ushare is supposed to do
[04:45] <jtaji> arooni: 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-apt
[04:45] <rdw200169> jtaji, good tip!
[04:45] <Tully12> ive been reading on google for the past 3 days and i cant find a fix, i think that nvidia-xconfig is whats messing things up
[04:45] <robf> ./window 3
[04:46] <rdw200169> Tully12, yeah, the module matching can get a really screwy, i've had to do some crazy things in the past to get Nvidia drivers working
[04:46] <rdw200169> Tully12, i helped a friend do it over the phone and SSH, took us 3 hours, it was something crazy, i can't remember what anymore, though
[04:46] <D-Bo> during 8.10 install a package "startup-tasks" was corrupt.
[04:47] <D-Bo> Will this hurt the install, and can I install it after it completes?
[04:47] <tritium> Tully12: precisely why we recommend using ubuntu-packaged drivers.
[04:47] <Tully12> i see "Warning couldnt open module type1"
[04:48] <somethingtodo> D-Bo:  startup-tasks - "This package contains the definitions of tasks essential for normal startup of a Linux system."
[04:48] <rdw200169> Tully12, 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 is
[04:48] <Tully12> and then "Primary Device is: no device found"
[04:48] <[TK]D-Fender> Hello all small question today : running 8.10 w/ nvidia 6150 onboard and the Proprietary 177 driver + compiz have some bugs concerning the window decorations intermittently disappearing.
[04:48] <Tully12> but lspci shows both cards
[04:49] <D-Bo> great
[04:49] <rdw200169> Tully12, yes, but in Xorg.X.log it never acutally detects your card?
[04:49] <D-Bo> anyone want to donate me a free scsi cdrom drive?
[04:49] <Tully12> no
[04:49] <D-Bo> every single one ive owned has broken.
[04:49] <[TK]D-Fender> not "completely" disappearing, just getting mangled.  They redraw if I float over them back and forth a bit.
[04:50] <Fire_Lord> D-Bo, i tend to use ide cdrom drives... :/
[04:50] <rdw200169> Tully12, is the card even supported via the Nvidia website documentation?
[04:50] <Tetracomm> Azureus doesn't seem to be working, could someone recommend a good Bit torrent client? (not bit torrent itself)
[04:50] <rdw200169> Tully12, wait, are you trying SLI w/ 9800gtx's?
[04:50] <rdw200169> Tully12, you mentioned 'both cards'
[04:50] <Fire_Lord> Tetracomm, i know some people use command line based rtorrent
[04:51] <Tully12> no im just wanting to get one of them to work atm
[04:51] <Fire_Lord> Tetracomm, i used to like deluge
[04:51] <CoJaBo-Aztec> How do I change resolution and refresh rate in Xubuntu? There doesn't seem to be an option anywhere.
[04:51] <Tetracomm> Not command line either.
[04:51] <Tetracomm> Thank you, though.
[04:51] <Tetracomm> :)
[04:51] <Fire_Lord> Tetracomm, Deluge is not command line
[04:51] <Tetracomm> Ok.
[04:51] <rdw200169> Tully12, do you have the BIOS set for that?  i think you have to tell the BIOS to de-link the SLI cards; used to be you had to flip a card on the motherboard, i think it's in the bios now
[04:52] <cretep> is it ok to ask about wine here?
[04:52] <Fire_Lord> Tetracomm, i think its in the repos, take a look at http://deluge-torrent.org/
[04:52] <Tully12> rdw200169, no i have a 780i no option for that, only ram, and the sli bridge is out right now
[04:52] <Fire_Lord> cretep, just ask, if it isnt somethign we know, then we just send you where you need to be....
[04:52] <irfan> anybody can help me
[04:53] <rdw200169> Tully12, you could try taking out one of the cards; even though i know Xorg can support multiple cards SLI and non-SLI
[04:53] <rdw200169> Tully12, i just don't know about 9800gtx, that's pretty darn new!
[04:53] <Tetracomm> Thank you, installing it fire_lord. :)
[04:54] <cretep> i have 8.10, installed wine. only program is the Notepad, there seems to be something called "internet explorer on "C" but it jus topens a blank window. What's up with that?
[04:54] <Tully12> rdw200169, yea damn me for buying something new and expecting it to work on nix :P
[04:54] <Fire_Lord> cretep, i think there is something in winetricks for that...
 any easy way in 8.10 once fully installed to swap X.org server for Xvnc one
 so it's not trying to pumpa outdated video card and get lagged to death
[04:55] <cretep> um what and where is winetricks
[04:55] <rdw200169> Tully12, well, the nvidia website says that the 9800gtx works since 173
[04:55] <rdw200169> Tully12, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_173.08.html
[04:56] <Fire_Lord> cretep, winetricks is at http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks but I am not sure if its what you need
[04:56] <Tully12> rdw200169, i tried installing 177 in the restricted drivers, rebooted and got tty, then 180 manually and got tty, so i guess ill try 173 now
[04:56] <Arrick> !format
[04:56] <Fire_Lord> cretep, you may get more help on that in #winehq
[04:56] <rdw200169> Tully12, no, dont' go back!
[04:57] <Arrick> how about just formatting an extra installed drive
[04:57] <Tully12> no? lol ok ill stick to tty then :P
[04:57] <cretep> well i will look. It's not that I want to *use* IE, but just try out wine with something other than Notepad.
[04:57] <Tully12> i got wine to run photoshop a while back
[04:57] <Fire_Lord> cretep, take a look at appdb then
[04:57] <cretep> wow
[04:57] <Fire_Lord> cretep, it has a list of programs that work and dont work with wine and you can find some free ones to try out
[04:58] <cretep> ok (new new new) what and where is appdb?
[04:58] <rdw200169> Tully12, i hate to say this, but try taking out one of the cards; that, or make absolute sure your xorg.conf has the 'nvidia' driver specified
[04:58] <Fire_Lord> cretep, http://appdb.winehq.org/
[04:58] <cretep> thx!
[04:58] <Fire_Lord> cretep, looks like they redesigned it from the last time i was there
[04:58] <Tully12> rdw200169, it does have nvidia as the driver i made sure of that, instead of nv or vesa as some have on google
[04:58] <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?
[04:58] <cahaya-06> hai
[04:59] <im> thanks Fire_Lord! for the info:)
[04:59] <rdw200169> Tully12, and you've never tried it w/only one card?
[04:59] <Fire_Lord> im, no problem, what info?
[05:00] <Tully12> rdw200169, no not yet i have 2 monitors and would prefer to use both as they cost an arm and a leg lol
[05:00] <Tully12> but ill give it a go
[05:00] <rdw200169> Tully12, alright, fine, then consult your motherboard manual and
[05:00] <rdw200169> Tully12, make absolute sure there isn't something you missed; as far as, what it can and can't do concerning SLI and not-SLI
[05:00] <im> Fire_Lord: appdb - I have some newbies crossing over this will be great for them!
[05:01] <Tully12> rdw200169, ive memorized my mobo manual
[05:01] <rdw200169> Tully12, alright, just trying to cover the bases here
[05:01] <Fire_Lord> im, ah, no prob... its the first thing everyone in #winehq will point people to.. if they dont check it first, they will be sent to go check it...
[05:01] <im> Fire_Lord: I personally stay clean away from anything  MS:P
[05:01] <goblin> I am trying to unmount a partition in order to resize it. The command that i used is: umout /dev/sda1. The error message was: /: device is busy  (In some cases useful info about processes that use  the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)). What do I do now? any help would be appreciated.
[05:01] <rdw200169> Tully12, can you post your xorg.conf and your Xorg.X.log?
[05:01] <berbsd> How can I configure the right command key to emulate the mouse right click on a macbook pro?
[05:01] <Tully12> sure let me up it to my ftp
[05:02] <Fire_Lord> goblin, is /dev/sda1 your root partition?
[05:02] <nightrid3r> goblin: /dev/sda1 is probably you ubuntu system
[05:02] <rdw200169> berbsd, it's a feature of the synaptic driver; try 'man synaptics' to learn more
[05:02] <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] <rdw200169> berbsd, you're looking for something like 'double finger tap = right click'
[05:02] <goblin> it is, but i want to resize it so that i can establish another partition for another os.
[05:03] <Fire_Lord> goblin, what other os?
[05:03] <cwillu> grumpy_, 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 done
[05:03] <nightrid3r> goblin: ever try to change a tire while driving, it will not work, boot from your ubuntu cd and use that
[05:03] <goblin> sorry, but its windows
[05:03] <Fire_Lord> goblin, if its windows you are going to have some trouble with it...
[05:03] <cwillu> grumpy_, (-restricted-extras will install the mp3 codecs, flash, etc)
[05:03] <berbsd> rdw200169: I am looking to map the right command key to show the contextual menu. I don't want to do it with the touchpad only
[05:04] <bonez45> anyone running with Intel 82815 video? I have that on one machine here and can't get more than 800x600 resolution..
[05:04] <Babayi> does anyone know how to monitor the cpu utilization of each application on each processor?
[05:04] <Fire_Lord> goblin, 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] <chiranka> Hey, 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] <bonez45> I 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_Lord> goblin, basicly, install windows on the whole drive, then install ubuntu again...
[05:04] <rdw200169> berbsd, oh, you mean the mac-way
[05:04] <rdw200169> berbsd, i dunno then
[05:04] <chiranka> I am using a compiz currently, pretty much a vanilla install.
[05:05] <goblin> oh. is that the only way?
[05:05] <chiranka> using compiz*
[05:05] <Fire_Lord> goblin, no, not the only way, just the easiest
[05:05] <cwillu> chiranka, what video card?
[05:05] <Firefishe> Asking again as I got booted:  What does quiet mean in this line in menu.lst?:  # defoptions=quiet splash
[05:05] <berbsd> rdw200169, yes, you are correct. I used to do it with xmodmap, but I wonder if this is still the right method on  intrepid and jaunty
[05:05] <Fire_Lord> goblin, 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 install
[05:05] <nightrid3r> goblin: grab the gparted iso from sourceforg.net
[05:05] <ohhai> I'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] <goblin> is 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_Lord> goblin, and then you will have to add an entry for windows
[05:05] <cwillu> Firefishe, how much output it dumps to the screen (which you won't see if splash is on anyway :p)
[05:06] <rdw200169> berbsd, i don't see why not, you should just be able to use your config file for xmodmap
[05:06] <chiranka> cwillu, pretty sure it's an intel, but it might be an nvidia, let me check.
[05:06] <cwillu> grumpy_, oh, you don't have the actual machine?
[05:06] <Arrick> !mkfs
[05:06] <Arrick> WHAT?
[05:06] <Fire_Lord> !!!
[05:06] <cwillu> chiranka, lspci|grep -i vga will tell you
[05:06] <Fire_Lord> nothing about mkfs?
[05:06] <Fire_Lord> !mke2fs
[05:06] <Arrick> why isnt anything I need to know about in ubottu anymore Seveas ?
[05:06] <cwillu> Fire_Lord, gparted
[05:06] <cwillu> !gparted
[05:06] <goblin> ok, too hard. Ill just trash the ubuntu, load windows and install ubuntu after
[05:06] <chiranka> cwillu, nvidia
[05:06] <grumpy_> cwillu, no I don't have her computer. Just her hard sata disk and my laptop...
[05:06] <z-e> mkdosfs
[05:06] <Arrick> cwillu, there is no gparted in a SERVER install
[05:06] <Tully12> rdw200169, http://zerodayexile.com/xorg/
[05:06] <Fire_Lord> cwillu, not for me..
[05:06] <Firefishe> cwillu:  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] <ryanprior> Arrick: You're welcome to help add factoids. Ubottu knows a lot.
[05:07] <d0netsFN> whats the best way to format an ntfs partition in ubuntu
[05:07] <d0netsFN> in gparted, the option for ntfs is greyed out
[05:07] <Fire_Lord> goblin, yeah, its not that its to hard, just long and confusing to explain
[05:07] <Arrick> ryanprior, yeah, i've added them before and then it was locked down so nobody but authorised people were able to add to it
[05:07] <goblin> Ok. thank you Fire_Lord
[05:07] <rdw200169> Tully12, heh, you could have just used the pastebin service...
[05:07] <cwillu> grumpy_, 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 it
[05:07] <Fire_Lord> Arrick, what are you trying to do?
[05:07] <ryanprior> d0netsFN: Why do you want to format something NTFS?
[05:07] <d0netsFN> storage for all my os's
[05:07] <cwillu> Firefishe, if you want to see the 'normal' linux bootup, get rid of quiet as well
[05:08] <d0netsFN> its my mythtv drive mostly
[05:08] <ryanprior> d0netsFN: 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] <[TK]D-Fender> Ok, before I go and FUBAR anything, I've installed the 180 Nvidia driver ".run" from nvidia's site and would like some advice on installation ebfore I pull the trigger.
[05:08] <[TK]D-Fender> before*
[05:08] <bonez45> anyone? got a solution for ubuntu 8.10 with Intel's 82815 chipset for video?
[05:08] <cwillu> [TK]D-Fender, don't
[05:08] <d0netsFN> bleh
[05:08] <chiranka> [TK]D-Fender, don't
[05:08] <tritium> [TK]D-Fender: use the ubuntu-packaged nvidia-glx-180
[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 it
[05:08] <[TK]D-Fender> cwillu: 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.
[05:09] <Azharn> Having 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] <[TK]D-Fender> Holding.. thanks for the advice...
[05:09] <chiranka> [TK]D-Fender, as tritium said, use the premade package.
[05:09] <tritium> [TK]D-Fender: plan B is above
[05:09] <borreguito> any boy that say to me how can i uninstall realplayer11???  please
[05:09] <Firefishe> cwillu:  Thank you.  That answers it.
[05:09] <Firefishe> cwillu:  I appreciate it.
[05:09] <nightrid3r> Azharn: tcl-dev
[05:09] <cwillu> [TK]D-Fender, I _think_ this is the repo I'm using for it: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/thomas-creutz/ubuntu intrepid main
[05:09] <Azharn> Bah!
[05:09] <Azharn> I knew I forgot something
[05:09] <tritium> It's in the repo
[05:09] <tritium> !info nvidia-glx-180
[05:09] <mheath> Can anyone here provide some insight on the lpia arch vs the i386 arch for Ubuntu, on atom powered systems? Does it have any positive benefits like faster speed or increased battery life on portables?
[05:09] <cwillu> grumpy_, the 'alternate' cd might work easier for this (has more install options than the desktop installer)
[05:10] <rdw200169> Tully12, surprisingly, you're not having problems w/loading the driver or the module
[05:10] <cwillu> ooo, they've updated it tritium ?
[05:10] <cwillu> [TK]D-Fender, ^^^
[05:10] <chiranka> Hey, 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? (nvidia card, compiz enabled)
[05:10] <Tully12> rdw200169, lol so everythings good except something
[05:10] <tritium> cwillu: it's been available for some time.  It's not automatically installed if you have nvidia-glx-177, though.
[05:11] <grumpy_> cwillu, I'm not aware of the 'alternate' cd option.
[05:11] <cwillu> tritium, no, it hasn't been, it wasn't at the beginning of the year at least :p
[05:11] <Azharn> nightrid3r, thanks... completely spaced on it.
[05:11] <cwillu> grumpy_, it's a different cd
[05:11] <bonez45> tritium: got any ideas about intel 82815?
[05:11] <grafixbadnow> chir> I'm in the exact same boat. I've noticed, but it doesn't bother me too much. when I minimize then maximize the window, everything updates
[05:11] <rdw200169> Tully12, i think you have to specify a BusID; consequentially, it DID detect both of your cards, i can't mention a line number, but it's about 1/3 of the way down in your log
[05:11] <tritium> bonez45: what about it?
[05:11] <Tully12> i was just about to ask that rdw200169, thanks
[05:11] <rdw200169> Tully12, the bus id's it gave were 3:0:0 and 4:0:0
[05:11] <rdw200169> Tully12, gimme a sec.
[05:11] <[TK]D-Fender> cwillu: 3rd party source added, confirming new package availability
[05:12] <cwillu> [TK]D-Fender, you missed that
[05:12] <bonez45> tritium: a box upon which I just installed 8.10 desktop.. has the 82815 video from intel, on mobo.. I can only get 800x600.. would like to boost it
[05:12] <cwillu> [TK]D-Fender, 180 is in the normal repo's now apparently
[05:12] <ethana2> I just got a Motorola bluetooth headset and I don't know how to make it act as a headphone thing
[05:12] <tritium> cwillu: you're not paying attention...
[05:12] <tritium> [TK]D-Fender: ^^
[05:12] <grafixbadnow> chir> i don't think I had the problem until I got compiz-fusion
[05:12] <tritium> cwillu: sorry, wrong nick ;)
[05:12] <[TK]D-Fender> Looking around in GENERAL now..
[05:12]  * cwillu pokes tritium with a stick
[05:12] <cwillu> [TK]D-Fender, remove the repo you just added, nvidia-glx-180 is in the normal repositories now, I didn't know that
[05:13] <Fire_Lord> !bluetooth | ethana2
[05:13] <tritium> !info nvidia-glx-180 | [TK]D-Fender (please pay attention to what I've told you)
[05:13] <borreguito> how to uninstall realplayer11????  help me... i am from mexico
[05:13] <Arrick> Fire_Lord, Im trying to make a file system ext3 on /dev/sdb1
[05:13] <[TK]D-Fender> tritium: Yes.. I've noticed the repeat warnings :)  I'm backtracking now....
[05:13] <ryanprior> I mounted an ISO and every file name has ";1" appended to it. How do I fix that?
[05:13] <tritium> Ah, finally some acknowledgement...
[05:13] <Fire_Lord> Arrick, that should be highly googleable... hold on...
[05:13] <grafixbadnow> borreguito> use the synaptics package manager
[05:14] <tritium> bonez45: have you perused the info for !fixres?
[05:14] <Arrick> Fire_Lord, all I find on the wiki is https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html
[05:14] <tritium> ubottu: tell bonez45 about fixres
[05:14] <Fire_Lord> Arrick, mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
[05:14] <Fire_Lord> Arrick, have you tried that
[05:14] <Fire_Lord> Arrick, hold on, are you making it or converting it?
[05:14] <Arrick> did that, it doesnt recognize it
[05:15] <Arrick> making it
[05:15] <bonez45> thanks..
[05:15] <Arrick> I already created the new partition with fdisk
[05:15] <bonez45> tritium: going to read that now..
[05:15] <grafixbadnow> borreguito> entiendes?
[05:15] <Fire_Lord> Arrick, doesnt recognize it?
[05:15] <bonez45> thank you
[05:15] <tritium> bonez45: good luck
[05:15] <scribawf> how do I be root to install updates using ClamAV GUI?
[05:15] <Fire_Lord> Arrick, as in it cannot create it, or it does not recognize the command?
[05:15] <Arrick> mount says it cant find the ext3 filesystem on /dev/sdb1 when I try to mount it
[05:15] <rdw200169> Tully12, don't worry, i'm getting there, just a sec.
[05:16] <borreguito> Si entiendo
[05:16] <Arrick> it acts like the command works
[05:16] <borreguito> grafixbadnow
[05:16] <[TK]D-Fender> tritium, cwillu, chiranka : Found the newly available package and its replacing 177 (173 remains).
[05:16] <Tully12> thanks rdw200169
[05:16] <ethana2> Fire_Lord: thanks
[05:16] <Arrick> lol Fire_Lord
[05:16] <nightrid3r> scribawf: man freshclam
[05:16] <d0netsFN> so nobody can tell me how to format my new drive to ntfs in ubuntu?
[05:16] <Fire_Lord> Arrick, what did i do?
[05:16] <Arrick> helps if I notice that I put /dev/hdb1 in instead of /dev/sdb1
[05:16] <Fire_Lord> Arrick, lulz
[05:17] <tritium> [TK]D-Fender: great.  If you have trouble with it, you can revert back the 177.
[05:17] <grafixbadnow> borreguito> en synaptics package manager, busca "realplayer"   debes ver la linea por 'realplayer 11.0.0.-0.2medibuntu'
[05:17] <scribawf> nightrid3r; as run that in terminal?
[05:17] <Fire_Lord> Arrick, so it works now?
[05:17] <nightrid3r> scribawf: yes
[05:17] <Arrick> yeah
[05:17] <Fire_Lord> good
[05:17] <scribawf> nightrid3r;  OK Tnx much
[05:17] <borreguito> no lo encontre en synaptic.. pero deja veo otra vez..
[05:17] <tritium> !es
[05:17] <rdw200169> Tully12, take a shot at this; i don't know which video card it will end up being
[05:18] <grafixbadnow> borreguito> sistema / administracion / synaptics package manager
[05:18] <[TK]D-Fender> tritium: Package and some dependant bits installed, but I don't see it available in the "proprietary drivers" selection app.
[05:18] <[TK]D-Fender> tritium: Do I need to reboot?
[05:18] <z-e> what is good solution for backup disk - image
[05:18] <ryanprior> When I type "mount -o loop my.iso /home/me/mydir" it mounts the ISO as I would expect, but when I right-click the ISO and choose "open using Archive Mounter", all the files have ";1" appended to the end of their names. Can anybody tell me why that is? Should I file it as a bug in Launchpad?
[05:18] <tritium> [TK]D-Fender: no, but you need to at least restart X (sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart)
[05:19] <grafixbadnow> borreguito > digame si no puedes encontrarlo
[05:19] <borreguito> no aparece
[05:19] <tritium> borreguito, grafixbadnow: #ubuntu-es for Spanish, please.
[05:19] <ryanprior> !es | borreguito
[05:19] <Tully12> k, rdw200169
[05:19] <SiVA_> hi
[05:19] <[TK]D-Fender> tritium: Just because IIRC that'll nuke enough of what I'm doing, I think I'll splurge and go for a reboot :)  Bank in a few...
[05:19] <[TK]D-Fender> back*
[05:19] <[TK]D-Fender> BRB
[05:20] <a1fa_> hhee
[05:20] <borreguito> sorry...tritium.....
[05:20] <nightrid3r> ryanprior: if i remember correct it has to do with the iso being created on windows, i had something like that years ago
[05:20] <tritium> borreguito: no worries
[05:20] <a1fa_> anyway to make hulu not choppy?
[05:20] <Tully12> a1fa_, get moar inets
[05:20] <ryanprior> nightrid3r: why would the `mount` method result in a different outcome than the "archive mounter" option, though?
[05:20] <kevdog> .swf player anyone??
[05:20] <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 appear
[05:20] <nightrid3r> ryanprior: beats me :(
[05:21] <SiVA_> this is only for firefox... not even thunderbird
[05:21] <rdw200169> Tully12, and this is what were headed for: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109663/; this is what i use for dual monitors on *one* nvidia card; the same rules apply, just w/different BusID's
[05:21] <a1fa_> Tully12: 8mb down
[05:21] <a1fa_> its frames per second
[05:21] <a1fa_> that i am complaining about
[05:21] <rdw200169> Tully12, you don't have to do a full restart, just /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[05:21] <somethingtodo> a1fa_: I've seen weird issues with hardware accelleration in flash...   right click on the flash and go to options to disable it...
[05:21] <morbid> why my browser always close? My paginator is firefox
[05:21] <Tully12> rdw200169, yea i got that
[05:22] <morbid> that`s really sucks
[05:22] <a1fa_> somethingtodo: its disaled
[05:22] <a1fa_> settings in flash are disabled
[05:22] <tritium> !enter | a1fa_
[05:23] <Tully12> so rdw200169, just replace my old xorg.conf with that one?
[05:23] <rdw200169> Tully12, yes, the first one i pasted
[05:23] <[TK]D-Fender> tritium: No dive... not in the selection box...
[05:23] <[TK]D-Fender> dice*
[05:23] <whatev> how can i chmod something to have be drwxr-xr-x
[05:23] <morbid> anyone
[05:23] <a1fa_> [TK]D-Fender: hi :P
[05:23] <Bossmanbeta> When I have Firefox running locally, then try to run a second instance of it over ssh -X, it fails. Other apps run fine over ssh -X. It seems Firefox is checking for a locally-running instance of firefox, and laucnhes another copy locally, any way to force it to load over SSH when a copy is running locally?
[05:23] <rdw200169> whatev, chmod 755
[05:23] <[TK]D-Fender> a1fa_: z0mg, stalkers!
[05:24] <a1fa_> I <3 U :P
[05:24] <Arrick> !vhosts
[05:24] <tritium> [TK]D-Fender: it's not supposed to be in the selection box, as far as I recall.
[05:24] <Fire_Lord> whatev chmod 766 i think... not sure though
[05:24] <tritium> [TK]D-Fender: if you installed it, you're running it.
[05:24] <Arrick> !virtualhost
[05:24] <Arrick> !lamp
[05:24] <nightrid3r> morbid: some sites make firefox crash (youtube does this after using it for a wile, think it has todo with flash movies
[05:24] <chiranka> Hey, 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? (nvidia card tested on 177 and 180 drivers, compiz enabled)
[05:24] <rdw200169> Bossmanbeta, nah, firefox is picky about that; do it as a different user and it will work fine
[05:24] <Tully12> rdw200169, the busid's dont look the same
[05:24] <rdw200169> Tully12, what do you mean?
[05:25] <Azharn> I'm trying to install mysqltcl 3.05 via a .tar.gz file and when I do ./configure I get this "checking for mysql header... configure: error: Cannot find mysql.h in /usr/include/mysql use -with-mysql-include=?" I know that mysql is installed... what am I missing?
[05:25] <dmz> howdy everyone, anyone have any suggestions on why the 2.6.24-23-generic kernel on hardy wouldn't support a fb device (ie splashy doesn't work and when i do vga=ask it only lists text mode options)
[05:25] <z-e> chiranka, try to choose in the GRUB Boot menu --->>> ......... generic (recovery) ....... and see if it is works...
[05:25] <Tully12> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109663/
[05:25] <rdw200169> Tully12, ah, the output from lspci is in hex, you needed base10
[05:25] <Fire_Lord> Arrick, you can /msg ubottu for factoids
[05:25] <rdw200169> Tully12, that was *my* BusID
[05:25] <[TK]D-Fender> tritium: Intersting.. the nvidia control dialog sure seems to attest to that...
[05:25] <Tully12> rdw200169, i must have missed something
[05:25] <morbid> nightrid3r: it happens with youtube, some site about tech and other stuff
[05:25] <rdw200169> Tully12, the first i posted has yours
[05:25] <[TK]D-Fender> tritium: a tad awkward, but its the ends that count...
[05:25] <timob> Azharn: maybe the -dev package?
[05:25] <Bossmanbeta> rdw200169, you mean, like over ssh -X so a gksudo firefox?
[05:25] <chiranka> z-e, as in, try to narrow it down to just xserver?
[05:25] <Tully12> rdw200169, link again i dont see it
[05:25] <morbid> nightrid3r: is there something to do about?
[05:25] <tritium> [TK]D-Fender: ok, good
[05:26] <Azharn> timob: there is no mysql-dev package.
[05:26] <z-e> i want to help you
[05:26] <[TK]D-Fender> tritium: Indeed my window decoration issues seem resolved so this was a great lesson on several fronts
[05:26] <rdw200169> Tully12, i forgot to Ctrl+v, whoops, hold on!
[05:26] <nightrid3r> Azharn: mysql-dev <--- you'll notice a patern :)
[05:26] <Tully12> haha thanks
[05:26] <grafixbadnow> z-e> i'm eavesdropping. I have same behavior as chiranka
[05:26] <timob> apt-cache search mysql | grep -- -dev
[05:26] <[TK]D-Fender> tritium: many thanks for the background info
[05:26] <kevdog> Azharn: sounds like you are missing the developmental files
[05:26] <tritium> [TK]D-Fender: any time!
[05:27] <[TK]D-Fender> tritium++
[05:27] <rdw200169> Tully12, i meant this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109662/
[05:27] <nightrid3r> morbid: i have no solution :(
[05:27] <[TK]D-Fender> (incase there's karma to be had
[05:27] <grafixbadnow> z-e>for what it's worth, i didn't have the problem until installing compiz-fusion
[05:27] <[TK]D-Fender> alrighty, off till my next little thing pops up!
[05:27] <tritium> [TK]D-Fender: there's not, but thanks for the consideration ;)
[05:27] <Fire_Lord> what does -J do?
[05:27] <rdw200169> Tully12, sometimes i do stupid things...
[05:27] <Tully12> rdw200169, so you just added the busid to the device section right?
[05:28] <rdw200169> Bossmanbeta, no, i think firefox refuses to run 2 instances of itself using the same configurations. i.e. the .mozilla directory
[05:28] <morbid> nightrid3r: is there some way that my solution is to change the browser, like opera or netscape?
[05:28] <Azharn> kevdog: how do I get the developmental files? lol I'm not used to ubuntu's commands.
[05:28] <rdw200169> Bossmanbeta, so, if you use a different regular user, it should work fine
[05:28] <Bossmanbeta> rdw200169, but one is running locally, the other over an ssh session
[05:28] <tritium> Azharn: you install the -dev version of the library package
[05:28] <nightrid3r> morbid: give it a try, it might work
[05:28] <Azharn> mysqllib-dev ?
[05:28] <kevdog> Azharn: Let me look and see what I can find --- Its the apt-cache search command
[05:29] <tritium> Azharn: apt-cache search for it.  That's likely not the right name.
[05:29] <Tully12> OMFG rdw200169 IT WORKED!
[05:29] <CoJaBo> Is it possible to change resolution and refresh rate in Xubuntu?
[05:29] <rdw200169> Bossmanbeta, 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 configurations
[05:29] <Bossmanbeta> rdw200169, 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] <kevdog> standalone .swf player?
[05:29] <tritium> Azharn: "apt-cache search libmysql" should find it.
[05:30] <rdw200169> Bossmanbeta, just login as a different user; or create another user, su to them in the terminal, then run firefox
[05:30] <rdw200169> Bossmanbeta, gksudo is bad, bad, bad! don't run firefox as root, shame!
[05:30] <cwillu> Bossmanbeta, you can't run two firefox's against the same profile at the same time
[05:30] <Bossmanbeta> rdw200169, it was just a test :)
[05:30] <Azharn> tritium: "libmysqlclient15-dev" sound right to you?
[05:30] <cwillu> Bossmanbeta, what are you trying to do?
[05:30] <whatev> i ran sudo chmod 755 /media/usb but it sitll has the permisssions drwx------ how is that possible?
[05:30] <TheMusicGuy> Somebody please help...this is driving me crazy:  I keep getting logged out at random for no reason!
[05:30] <rdw200169> Bossmanbeta, but it proves my point, firefox won't run *as the same user* twice
[05:30] <cwillu> whatev, you have to set it from inside the mount
[05:30] <Tully12> thanks alot rdw200169, your a life saver
[05:30] <Bossmanbeta> cwillu, trying to run 1 firefox locally, then a 2nd instance of it via ssh -X
[05:30] <nightrid3r> !info opera
[05:30] <tritium> Azharn: I have no idea what you're trying to do, or what library you need.
[05:31] <cwillu> whatev, cd /media/usb; sudo chmod 755 .
[05:31] <rdw200169> Tully12, did it work?
[05:31] <Tully12> rdw200169, yes workes great
[05:31] <cwillu> Bossmanbeta, run it as firefox -P -no-remote
[05:31] <tritium> nightrid3r: opera is (or at least was) in the third-party (partner) repository
[05:31] <Tully12> rdw200169, all the special effects and cute shit works too
[05:31] <Fire_Lord> whatev, is it mounted currently?
[05:31] <miranda_psi> rdw200169: you should be able to if you use two different profiles, since the lock is in the profile...
[05:31] <kevdog> Azharn: could be libmysqlclient15-dev package
[05:31] <rdw200169> Tully12, alright! lemme crunch something out real quick that will make it dual monitor... what resolution you running at?
[05:31] <Bossmanbeta> cwillu, is there a reference for those options?
[05:31] <whatev> yeah it's mounted
[05:31] <cwillu> Bossmanbeta, firefox --help
[05:32] <Bossmanbeta> thank U cwillu
[05:32] <Tully12> rdw200169, 1440x900 both monitors
[05:32] <tritium> Azharn: why do you need a development library, and yet not know which one you need?
[05:32] <rdw200169> miranda_psi, i dunno, can you help him w/that?  i don't know about profiles
[05:32] <rdw200169> Tully12, and that's what your monitor is running at right now?
[05:32] <cwillu> whatev, you _have_ to do it from _inside_ the mount, chmod /media/usb is not the same as cd /media/usb; chmod .
[05:32] <Fire_Lord> whatev, you may need to umount and then change the mode, but try what cwillu said first...
[05:32] <cwillu> whatev, cd /media/usb; sudo chmod 755 /media/usb/. might work though
[05:32] <Tully12> rdw200169, PCI:3:0:0 is the 1st monitor, PCI:4:0:0 is the 2nd, each monitor is on a single card
[05:32] <cwillu> bah
[05:32] <cwillu> whatev, sudo chmod 755 /media/usb/. might work though
[05:32] <Azharn> tritium: I'm trying to install mysqltcl 3.05 and it keeps giving me an error saying it can't find mysql
[05:33] <Bossmanbeta> yea the -p tells it to use a diff profile
[05:33] <Bossmanbeta> ok
[05:33] <Tully12> rdw200169, 1440x900 on both monitors
[05:33] <bonez45> tritium: 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 accordingly
[05:33] <rdw200169> Tully12, do you want 'TwinView' or separate screens per monitor
[05:33] <cwillu> Fire_Lord, unmounting it and setting it will do absolutely nothing to the mounted fs :p
[05:33] <rdw200169> Tully12, but is it actually running at the resolution?
[05:33] <rdw200169> Tully12, i.e. not 1024x768 or something like that
[05:33] <Fire_Lord> cwillu, yeah, but hes trying to alter the folder, not the mounted fs
[05:33] <Tully12> rdw200169, yea im at 1440x900 right now
[05:33] <cwillu> Fire_Lord, whatev, depending on the fs, there might be a mount option to force the owner to a particular user
[05:34] <Tully12> rdw200169, and i would prefer to have the 2nd extended from the first
[05:34] <rdw200169> Tully12, and the other question; one big desktop, or two
[05:34] <cwillu> (whatev) Fire_Lord, what?  why?
[05:34] <kevdog> Azharn: what?
[05:34] <cwillu> makes no sense to chmod an empty folder in media
[05:34] <rdw200169> Tully12, ok, let's do 2 first, then i'll see if i can't work out TwinView
[05:34] <tritium> bonez45: why do you say it's not recognized?
[05:34] <Tully12> kk thanks alot rdw200169
[05:34] <cwillu> seeing as it'll have no effect on an fs mounted in that folder
[05:34] <efefefe> who know song "Casey last ride" ,how last name this  Casey ?
[05:35] <Fire_Lord> cwillu, 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 thunderbird
[05:35] <SiVA_> opps
[05:35] <Fire_Lord> unless i am mixed up...
[05:35] <rdw200169> Tully12, 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 appear
[05:35] <Tully12> rdw200169, kk
[05:35] <Azharn> kevdog: mysqltcl-3.05 so I can run an eggdrop script I need... it requires libmysqltcl3.05.so
[05:35] <cwillu> Fire_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 it
[05:35] <Fire_Lord> cwillu, ah... i see... thanks.. learn something everyday i guess. :P
[05:36] <morbid> damn it
[05:36] <morbid> it happens again
[05:36] <cwillu> Fire_Lord, think about where the permissions of / come from :)
[05:36] <kevdog> Azharn: You install mysqltcl
[05:36] <rdw200169> Tully12, and for safeties sake, make a copy of what you've got that works, and name it something like: xorg.conf.itreallyworks
[05:36] <bonez45> tritium: 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] <kevdog> Azharn: You installed mysqltcl?
[05:36] <rdw200169> Tully12, then you can always get it back if we mess things up ;)
[05:36] <Azharn> kevdog: yeah, but it's only 3.00 and this script requires 3.05 which I downloaded the tar for.
[05:36] <cwillu> bonez45, the new xorg's don't use much in xorg.conf anymore
[05:36] <Tully12> haha rdw200169, already done that and uploaded it
[05:36] <tritium> bonez45: what driver do you normally use?  i810?
[05:37] <cwillu> bonez45, what's the problem?
[05:37] <kevdog> Azharn: Link?
[05:37] <Azharn> kevdog: http://www.xdobry.de/mysqltcl/
[05:38] <sekyourbox> How do you make Terminal auto load bash?  What would be a reason to not want to do that?
[05:38] <Fire_Lord> sekyourbox, it should already do that...
[05:38] <tritium> sekyourbox: it does that already
[05:39] <sekyourbox> Dash, i think
[05:39] <sekyourbox> ever since i crashed my old usr acct
[05:39] <Fire_Lord> sekyourbox, i guess a reason not to do that is if you like a different shell
[05:39] <bonez45> cwillu: 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_Lord> sekyourbox, the way to change it should be in the user settings
[05:39] <tritium> sekyourbox: no, bash is default
[05:39] <cwillu> bonez45, pastebin the output of xrandr
[05:39] <TraceRoute> any wizards in here good with dvd::rip?
[05:39] <bonez45> cwillu: I'd like to have at least 1280x1024 ..
[05:39] <cwillu> !pastebin | bonez45
[05:39] <sekyourbox> $=bash or dash?
[05:40] <Fire_Lord> sekyourbox, most people i know use bash
[05:40] <cwillu> Fire_Lord, dash is the default symlink for sh though :p
[05:40] <cwillu> causes me no end of grief :p
[05:41] <d0netsFN> im getting something about buffer i/o error on devicesdb on startup
[05:41] <nyaa> does anyone know why sometimes youtube has a white, blank screen (not even a  timer, volume, and play bar in it)?
[05:41] <d0netsFN> any ideas?
[05:41] <john522> UBUNTU 8.04 Q: how to change the taskbar icon (currently the ubuntu icon) to the original gnome icon??
[05:41] <Huene`> Can I speak with someone who knows something about networks?
[05:41] <d0netsFN> it does it a few times and then finally starts up
[05:41] <joelsolanki> Hi all.
[05:41] <Fire_Lord> cwillu, but how did his terminal setting get set to dash then i wonder...
[05:41] <sekyourbox> not sure?
[05:41] <Fire_Lord> !hi | joelsolanki
[05:42] <joelsolanki> my friend has installed ubuntu and it seems openvpn and ssh both are not working
[05:42] <joelsolanki> openvpn give error read UDPv4 [ECONNREFUSED]: Connection refused (code=111)
[05:42] <cwillu> john522, I think it's just the icon theme, but I don't know for sure
[05:42] <joelsolanki> and ssh give ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
[05:42] <TheMusicGuy> I really need help getting to the bottom of this random logout / X server crashing issue.
[05:42] <joelsolanki> so it seems tcpwrapper is blockin it.
[05:42] <john522> ya someone told me how to change it but i forgot
[05:42] <rdw200169> Tully12, take a shot at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109680/
[05:42] <jvboom> joelsolanki: Latest version of ubuntu?
[05:42] <john522> i know there are some commands u can use in terminal to replace it
[05:42] <joelsolanki> 8.0.4
[05:43] <john522> but i dont want to try something that isnt going to work on this ver
[05:43] <joelsolanki> i kept ALL : ALL : ALLOW in /etc/hosts.allow
[05:43] <joelsolanki> is this correct ?
[05:43] <joelsolanki> this allow all things to work ?
[05:43] <kevdog> Azharn: I tried to compile and it keeps telling me -- checking for Tcl configuration --WARNING: Cant find Tcl configuraion definitions
[05:43] <sekyourbox> Fixed,  Just ran custom command "bash" :-)
[05:44] <Huene`> how do you keep Ubuntu from searching for networks every few minutes?
[05:44] <cwillu> bonez45, still there?
[05:44] <tritium> sekyourbox: that's not required, unless you changed your shell to begin with
[05:44] <joelsolanki> anyone i want to stop using tcpwrappers or allow all thing in tcpwrappers.
[05:44] <joelsolanki> how can i do  ?
[05:44] <tritium> sekyourbox: to make it your default shell again, since you apparently changed it, run "chsh"
[05:44] <Azharn> kevdog: 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] <rdw200169> Tully12, an interesting problem with a 'spread' desktop, is full screen goes across *both* screens, i hate that
[05:45] <Azharn> kevdog: you need the tcllib
[05:45] <sekyourbox> tritium, how would I have changed it?
[05:45] <rdw200169> Tully12, this is why i prefer separate x screens per monitor
[05:45] <kevdog> Azharn: What was your /configure statement?
[05:45] <bonez45> cwillu: still here, the other box. runs ubuntu.. having trouble sending it from that box to here..
[05:45] <tritium> sekyourbox: you tell me.  But bash is certainly the default shell.
[05:45] <bonez45> I'll just go there
[05:45] <cwillu> bonez45, don't have network on it?
[05:46] <cwillu> bonez45, ah, k
[05:46] <srid> back to ubuntu. feels good.
[05:46] <Azharn> kevdog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109681/
[05:46] <sekyourbox> tritium, I'm just wondering if you know how its done, because I dont..
[05:46] <wolter> is there such package as xerver-xorg-dev
[05:46] <wolter> ?
[05:46] <Tully12> rdw200169, the first screen worked only, and i got a message saying "the pannel encountered a problem while loading: OAFIID: GNOME FastUserSwitchApplet
[05:46] <tritium> sekyourbox: like I said above, run "chsh"
[05:47] <sekyourbox> oh, thx
[05:47] <tritium> wolter: find out for yourself, via "apt-cache search xserver-xorg"
[05:47] <rdw200169> Tully12, yeah, i think i had to do some screwy things to get it working 'just right'
[05:47] <tritium> bonez451: I never saw a reply from you...
[05:47] <kevdog> Azharn: Give me a sec
[05:47] <bonez451> tritium: here it is.. and for cwillu:   http://pastebin.com/m7d275d92
[05:48] <wolter> tritium, uh, there is not. is that i get asked to have that from the nvidia site, to install the latest drivers...
[05:48] <cwillu> thanks
[05:48] <tritium> wolter: do you want the 180 drivers?
[05:48] <wolter> tritium, i do.
[05:48] <tritium> wolter: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
[05:48] <efefefe> john522 : mb replace icon  in /usr/share/pixmaps/
[05:48] <kevdog> Azharn: I install tcllib and same thing!
[05:48] <wolter> tritium, but i am having trouble with them''
[05:48] <wolter> ok, nice
[05:49] <tritium> wolter: we never recommend direct nvidia.com downloads.  Package-managed drivers are much preferred.
[05:49] <wolter> tritium, has no installation candidate
[05:49] <Azharn> kevdog: install the tcl dev files as well... sorry forgot that part.
[05:49] <tritium> wolter: then you need to enable the proper repo.  Are you on intrepid?
[05:49] <tritium> !info nvidia-glx-180
[05:49] <cwillu> wolter, if you tried installing via nvidia's installer, and you got the installer to uninstall preexisting drivers, you probably have a somewhat broken setup
[05:49] <wolter> tritium, 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] <tritium> wolter: as you can see above, it's in the restricted repo
[05:49] <kevdog> Azharn: ok give me another sec
[05:50] <cwillu> bonez451, pastebin me your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[05:50] <Arrick> !ftp
[05:50] <Arrick> !ftp server
[05:50] <bonez451> cwillu: coming up
[05:50] <cwillu> bonez451, also, check system | preferences | screen resolution, and check if the drop down will give you the option of using 1280x1024
[05:50] <Arrick> whats the current choice for an ftp server?
[05:50] <wolter> cwillu, dont worry, i didn't remove a thing before installing the other one, now i am running with 177, finely, because the uninstalllation returned everything to the state it was before installation.
[05:50] <rdw200169> Tully12, super googling...
[05:50] <cwillu> k
[05:51] <tritium> bonez451: I had asked what driver you normally use.  i810?  Is your /etc/X11/xorg.conf configured to use that?
[05:51] <wolter> tritium, i am on intrepid, now gona google the repos... tritium, which 180 is that driver? is it 180.22?
[05:51] <nightrid3r> Arrick: your choice, i prefer vsftpd but its a mater of taste
[05:51] <Tully12> rdw200169, http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6473245 <- theres someone that got 6 to work, ill see if i can take 4 screens off
[05:51] <wolter> tritium, i think that package is from jaunty.. isn't it?
[05:52] <tritium> wolter: you don't need to google the repos.  Just enable them in System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[05:52] <cwillu> wolter, no, it's in intrepid now too
[05:52] <tritium> wolter: no
[05:52] <Bossmanbeta> once 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] <whatev> ok i tried unmounting /media/usb and doing sudo chmod -R 755 /media/usb but all the files/dirs are still just rwx------
[05:52] <tritium> wolter: I just showed you above that it's in intrepid's restricted repo
[05:52] <cwillu> whatev, I told you already that won't do anything
[05:52] <john522> if i MOVE the icon will it work
[05:52] <wolter> tritium, ah ok
[05:52] <blankthemuffin> I'm looking for a way to enable emulate the system beep function, is there an application which does this?
[05:52] <cwillu> whatev, what is the file system on the usb?
[05:52] <wolter> tritium, ah, ok sorry, i couldnt manage to read, thank you.
[05:52] <whatev> fat32
[05:52] <bonez451> cwillu: http://pastebin.ca/1318313
[05:52] <tritium> wolter: no problem :)
[05:53] <kevdog> Azharn: installing the mysqlclient15-dev package now that I can reproduce your original error
[05:53] <blankthemuffin> By emulate I mean run though the normal sound system, rather than the PC speaker.
[05:53] <cwillu> bonez451, did you see that other thing I mentioned?
[05:53] <bonez451> cwillu:  that's where i went FIRST..
[05:53] <cwillu> bonez451, also, check system | preferences | screen resolution, and check if the drop down will give you the option of using 1280x1024
[05:53] <whatev> i need it to work because my document root is located on my usb
[05:53] <whatev> so it can be portable
[05:53] <cwillu> bonez451, and it didn't show?
[05:53] <whatev> for testing
[05:53] <wolter> tritium, they are all enabled... in the ubuntu software right?
[05:53] <bonez451> cwillu it only shows 640x480 or 800-x600
[05:53] <bonez451> tritium: take a look at the pastebin.. it shows NOTHing in there
[05:53] <wolter> tab
[05:54] <wolter> bonez451, are you having graphica driver problems?
[05:54] <wolter> tough louck...
[05:54] <tritium> wolter: the restricted repo
[05:54] <bonez451> wolter: YEAH...
[05:54] <tritium> bonez451: that's not your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and it doesn't tell me what driver you normally use
[05:54] <cwillu> bonez451, xrandr --output default --preferred
[05:54] <wolter> tritium, Propietary drivers for devices (restricted) is enabled/
[05:54] <cwillu> bonez451, tell me if it changes anything
[05:55] <cwillu> bonez451, if not, try:  xrandr --output default --mode 1280x1024_60.00
[05:55] <wolter> tritium, perhaps i need to refresh the software sources... how do i do it?
[05:55] <tritium> wolter: make sure you update the package list then, and then install (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180)
[05:55] <rdw200169> Tully12, keep waiting...
[05:55] <bonez451> scott@scott-desktop-8:~$ xrandr --output default --mode 1280x1024_60.00
[05:55] <bonez451> xrandr: cannot find mode 1280x1024_60.00
[05:55] <wolter> tritium, since when are those drivers up n runin?
[05:56] <djyoung4> im trying to set up a dual boot system but i get an error everytime i try to install
[05:56] <cwillu> bonez451, try:  xrandr --output default --mode 1280x1024
[05:56] <davew009> hey, can someone help me with my menu.lst?
[05:56] <djyoung4> i dont know why any suggestions
[05:56] <bonez451> cwillu: does not change anything
[05:56] <Tully12> rdw200169, ill be here all night
[05:56] <kevdog> Azharn: ok, got it compiled
[05:56] <bonez451> tritium: http://pastebin.ca/1318313  most certainly IS my xorg.conf......
[05:56] <tritium> bonez451: you had shown me xrandr output
[05:57] <rdw200169> Tully12, take a shot at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109682/
[05:57] <bonez451> scott@scott-desktop-8:~$ xrandr --output default --mode 1280x1024
[05:57] <bonez451> xrandr: cannot find mode 1280x1024
[05:57] <Azharn> kevdog: so it was the mysqlclient15-dev that was giving me the problem apparently?
[05:57] <kevdog> Azharn:
[05:57] <bonez451> tritium: now though? you see that one too, of my xorg.conf?
[05:57] <dartagnon1234> I need some help networking.  I can see my router and whole network, but can't get online.
[05:57] <cwillu> tritium, he pastebinned botth
[05:57] <kevdog> Azharn: Thats what I conclude b/c after adding that package I could complete the ./configure process
[05:57] <rdw200169> dartagnon1234, have you checked the dns?
[05:57] <tritium> bonez451: yes
[05:57] <bonez451> dartagnon1234: how then are you chatting with us?
[05:58] <kevdog> osmosis
[05:58] <Azharn> kevdog: awesome, thanks for the help
[05:58] <kevdog> psychic
[05:58] <rdw200169> dartagnon1234, are you using linux for a router?  or is it a wireless router or something/
[05:58] <bonez451> cwillu: does that help?
[05:58] <cwillu> whatev, you have to include my name on the line, or I'm going to miss half of your messages
[05:59] <dartagnon1234> I'm on a windows computer.  @rdw200169, I'm a networking novice.  it is a RTP300, but I don't think it's the router
[05:59] <joelsolanki> ALL : 202.160.161.0/255.255.255.0 localhost in /etc/hosts.allow will allow 202.160.161.0/24 to connect to that machine ?
[05:59] <cwillu> bonez451, edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in the device section, add:  Driver "intel"
[05:59] <rdw200169> dartagnon1234, ok, did you check dns? try 'cat /etc/resolv.conf'
[05:59] <djyoung4> i need help
[05:59] <djyoung4> with install help
[06:00] <rdw200169> dartagnon1234, is there line in there that says 'nameserver' with an IP address?
[06:00] <cwillu> whatev, how are you mounting it?  from the terminal, or just letting the desktop mount it when you plug it in?
[06:00] <whatev> cwillu 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 anything
[06:00] <dartagnon1234> thanks rdw, give me a minute to bring that up.. my Ubuntu box is in the other room
[06:00] <wolter> tritium, 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] <bonez451> cwillu: is that it?
[06:00] <cwillu> whatev, that you're using truecrypt would be relevant information :p
[06:00] <whatev> =p
[06:00] <bonez451> cwillu: just add that to the device section?
[06:00] <cwillu> bonez451, actually, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log first, just to check
[06:01] <rdw200169> Tully12, 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] <tritium> wolter: I'm glad you got it working ;)
[06:01] <cwillu> whatev, what's the mount line you're using?
[06:01] <Tully12> rdw200169, no need screeen1 doesnt work still
[06:01] <whatev> i'm letting truecrypt mount for me
[06:01] <cwillu> !truecrypt
[06:02] <caveman26> How do I make my touchpad respond faster in gnome?... its a lil SLOW... mouse dont move very fast at all.. tried the mouse settings but no effect :/
[06:02] <wolter> tritium, well, now i am getting myself delighted with the option 'Select Best Server' from Software Sources... intrepid is awesome..
[06:02] <seektherapy> anyone know anything about alsa and configurations
[06:02] <djyoung4> i have install problems.  i have a hp pavallion entertainment dv2000 laptop and i try to install ubuntu 8.04 and i get an error
[06:02] <Bossmanbeta> once 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?
[06:02] <Tully12> rdw200169, if i were to have both monitors on one gpu would that make thing alot easier?
[06:02] <rdw200169> Tully12, shouldn't matter, the BusID line takes care of that
[06:03] <seektherapy> If so people need help in  	 irc://irc.freenode.net/alsa
[06:03] <seektherapy> ASAP
[06:03] <tritium> wolter: I'm glad you're happy, buddy
[06:03] <rww> !ot | seektherapy
[06:03] <jarco> djyoung4, it is better to just say the error. That way if ppl know about it they can help :D
[06:03] <wolter> tritium, haha, sometimes i dont say that intrepid is awesome, but those canonical guys are making some damn good effort.
[06:03] <rdw200169> Tully12, but I don't know for sure; i think your problem right now is related to the 'modelines' in the Screen Configs
[06:03] <djyoung4> ok i will try and figure that out
[06:04] <rdw200169> Tully12, did that work at all?
[06:04] <Tully12> rdw200169, the first screen works great, 2nd one even flash or show anything
[06:04] <davew009> hey guys, in grub, ubuntu can work fine if specified the root and not uuid, right?
[06:04] <tritium> wolter: yep
[06:04] <rww> davew009: yeah
[06:04] <davew009> thanks
[06:04] <dartagnon1234> rdw200169, cat /etc/resolv.conf returned one line and it was commented out
[06:04] <wolter> tritium, wow, i knew mit's server was the fastest...
[06:05] <rdw200169> Tully12, can you post the latest version of Xorg.X.log?
[06:05] <bonez451> cwillu: can't get varlog to paste.. it dies .. in the attempt..
[06:05] <roccity_> has anyone ever had problems with changing xorg and it affecting there wireless?
[06:05] <bonez451> cwillu: suggestions on how to capture it and pastebin it?
[06:05] <Tully12> rdw200169, sure
[06:05] <cwillu> whatev, sorry, it's going to be a config setting on truecrypt, which I'm not really familiar with
[06:05] <rdw200169> dartagnon1234, yeah, you don't have a DNS server specified, did you manually assign the IP address
[06:05] <cwillu> bonez451, how are you pasting it?
[06:05] <tritium> wolter: probably depends on where you are
[06:05] <cwillu> bonez451, I'd expect pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log would work
[06:06] <cwillu> bonez451, (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 ethernet
[06:06] <wolter> tritium, yeah, well, i am far away from it, but the national ubuntu servers (COsta Rica) are not as good... at all.
[06:06] <dartagnon1234> rdw200169, yeah, trying to get ssh working.  what should I do to get my DNS working?
[06:06] <rdw200169> cwillu, that sounds useful. i've been copying + pasting
[06:06] <blankthemuffin> I'm looking for a way to enable emulate the system beep function, is there an application which does this? By emulate I mean run though the normal sound system, rather than the PC speaker.
[06:06] <dartagnon1234> I can actually putty into my comp so that should save a couple seconds : P
[06:06] <rdw200169> dartagnon1234, the easiest way is to set it in System -> Administration -> Network
[06:07] <whatev> cwillu well do you know how i can mount a filesystem with 755 permissions on every file?
[06:07] <rsteckler> Other than disable root ssh, close all ports except http and 8080 (tomcat), change phpmyadmin's folder, is there anything else I need to do to secure my server?
[06:07] <ethana2> so I've got sound out of my headest
[06:07] <dartagnon1234> rdw200169, I tried looking in there a few times... I didn't see anything that sounded like gateway or dns
[06:07] <bonez451> cwillu: http://pastebin.com/f539c8fb5
[06:07] <ethana2> headset**
[06:07] <ethana2> but it's not working with pulseaudio
[06:07] <bonez451> cwillu: there ya go
[06:07] <ethana2> it crashes everything
[06:08] <ethana2> it crashes the server, every app that tries to play sound
[06:08] <rdw200169> dartagnon1234, fine, just edit resolv.conf to get it working for now; make sure that's the problem
[06:08] <ethana2> I have to restart
[06:08] <ethana2> or log out
[06:08] <rdw200169> just add this line to it:
[06:08] <tritium> wolter: gotcha
[06:08] <davew009> quick 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] <cwillu> whatev, mount ... -o umask=... should do something for you
[06:08] <cwillu> bonez451, thanks
[06:08] <wolter> allquixotic, 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 intrepid
[06:08] <ethana2> davew009: the root is /dev/sda6
[06:08] <rdw200169> dartagnon1234, gimme a sec.
[06:09] <dartagnon1234> rdw200169, no problem
[06:09] <miranda_psi> whatev: 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=0022
[06:09] <davew009> ethan, fanastic man, thanks a bunch
[06:09] <ethana2> davew009: no problem
[06:09] <Tully12> rdw200169, http://paste.ubuntu.com/109685/
[06:09] <bonez451> cwillu: is this like brain surgery... over the phone? hehe
[06:09] <whatev> cwillu looks like i need "rw,sync,utf8,uid=1000,umask=0000"
[06:10] <anonbadger> hello room
[06:10] <rdw200169> dartagnon1234, nameserver 208.67.222.222
[06:10] <rdw200169> dartagnon1234, that's opendns, it's safe
[06:10] <anonbadger> I am having some trouble burning the ubuntu iso to disc
[06:10] <Bossmanbeta> wow
[06:10] <Bossmanbeta> it is doable
[06:10] <anonbadger> what am I doing wrong?
[06:10] <Bossmanbeta> O.O
[06:10] <ethana2> anonbadger: how did you get the image?
[06:10] <Paddy_EIRE> anonbadger, what OS are you on
[06:10] <Paddy_EIRE> anonbadger, if you are on windows use "imgburn"
[06:10] <anonbadger> I downloaded it with bittorrent
[06:10] <Tully12> anonbadger, what program and you trying to use
[06:10] <Hilikus> hey guys, what program do you recommend to burn dvds? i want something that lets me do multisession dvds
[06:11] <ethana2> anonbadger: ok good, that means the file should be already checksummed
[06:11] <cwillu> whatev, okay, you're on intel already (which isn't surprising)
[06:11] <cwillu> bah
[06:11] <anonbadger> and tried burning it with NERO in windows AND using the Fedora burning program
[06:11] <cwillu> bonez451, ^^^
[06:11] <Paddy_EIRE> anonbadger, And you have a .iso file yes?
[06:11] <cwillu> bonez451, sec though, something else isn't right
[06:11] <anonbadger> yes .iso
[06:11] <Paddy_EIRE> anonbadger, use imgburn
[06:11] <bonez451> cwillu: ok..
[06:11] <Paddy_EIRE> anonbadger, http://www.imgburn.com/
[06:12] <anonbadger> ok thanks
[06:12] <Tully12> anonbadger, have you conf'd your bios to boot from cd first?
[06:12] <anonbadger> yes that's ok
[06:12] <Paddy_EIRE> Simplicity.. just to get you on your way anonbadger .. keep it simple :)
[06:12] <anonbadger> the image would not burn to disc
[06:12] <ice_cream> o.O fx and xchat look so much better with a diff gtk2 theme
[06:13] <ethana2> ethan@home:~$ pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device=bluetooth
[06:13] <ethana2> Connection failure: Connection refused
[06:13] <John```> I got cut off
[06:13] <wolter> tritium, drivers finished installing.. should i just reboot, or just relog?
[06:14] <cwillu> bonez451, in section "screen"...
[06:14] <cwillu>  SubSection "Display"
[06:14] <cwillu>                Virtual 1280 1024
[06:14] <cwillu>         EndSubSection
[06:14] <tritium> wolter: it's up to you.
[06:14] <cwillu> bonez451, add that
[06:14] <rdw200169> Tully12, ah, line 172: (EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section.
[06:14] <cwillu> bonez451, and restart x
[06:14] <wolter> tritium, so relog is fine to use the new drivers?
[06:14] <whatev> cwillu yeah those mount options worked :D
[06:14] <cwillu> whatev, k :p
[06:14] <tritium> wolter: yes
[06:14] <whatev> thanks for the help
[06:15] <John```> my question was.. How to restore the 'gnome foot icon' on the panel in ubuntu 8.04... current screen resolution is 1024x768...
[06:16] <greatcaffeine> Does anyone know if there's a way to increase the amount of VRAM used by Intel graphics cards?
[06:16] <ice_cream> and  nice package gtk-chtheme
[06:16] <ethana2> greatcaffeine: nope.
[06:16] <ethana2> greatcaffeine: vRAM is all built in and the driver will use all that's available
[06:17] <ethana2> no wait, wait
[06:17] <ethana2> intel
[06:17] <ethana2> whoops
[06:17] <greatcaffeine> hehe
[06:17] <ethana2> erm
[06:17] <greatcaffeine> Yeah, it's a GMA 950.
[06:17] <ethana2> I think so, but I don't know how
[06:17] <greatcaffeine> No BIOS options, unfortunately. :(
[06:17] <ethana2> I think it may be a BIO-
[06:17] <ethana2> oh
[06:17] <cdenny> when i try to change the default mail client in firefox for mailto, evolution is the only one and i want to use thunderbird.  how do i add it?
[06:17] <cwillu> greatcaffeine, the driver should manage it internally
[06:17] <ethana2> cwillu: he has no vRAM
[06:17] <ethana2> only system RAM
[06:17] <allquixotic> wolter: Good to know
[06:17] <ethana2> it's all software
[06:18] <cwillu> greatcaffeine, """For the 830M and later, the driver will  automatically  size  its
[06:18] <cwillu>        memory  allocation  according  to the features it will support.  There‐
[06:18] <cwillu>        fore, the VideoRam option, which in the  past  had  been  necessary  to
[06:18] <cwillu>        allow  more  than  some  small amount of memory to be allocated, is now
[06:18] <cwillu>        ignored."""
[06:18] <rdw200169> Tully12, take a shot at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109686/
[06:18] <cwillu> ethana2, you of little faith :p
[06:18] <ethana2> cwillu: ?
[06:18] <dracnoc> cdenny: change your preffered email in System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications
[06:18] <jtaji> cdenny: set it in system > prefs > preferred applications
[06:18] <cwillu> ethana2, and the amount of system ram it uses is managed by the driver
[06:19] <wolter> hey allquixotic and tritium !!! My problem got fixed! At least till now... THANK YOU SO MUCH
[06:19] <ethana2> cwillu: yeah.....
[06:19] <ethana2> cwillu: what's with the 'little faith' thing/
[06:19] <tritium> wolter: that rocks!  Nice job, man.
[06:19] <greatcaffeine> Well, next question then...  anyone know why xorg.conf is completely blank in Ubuntu 9.04?
[06:19] <cdenny> YAY!!!
[06:19] <cwillu> ethana2, "he has no vRAM"
[06:19] <ethana2> correct.
[06:19] <rww> greatcaffeine: Jaunty support in #ubuntu+1, not here
[06:19] <ethana2> intel integrated
[06:19] <cdenny> thank you so much, i love this channel!
[06:19] <ethana2> system RAM only
[06:19] <greatcaffeine> rww: thanks
[06:19] <wolter> tritium, nice job... YOU nice job. Thank YOU.
[06:19] <cwillu> ethana2, in response to me saying it was managed internally
[06:19] <rww> greatcaffeine: the probable answer, though, is "because Xorg autodetects it all"
[06:20]  * ethana2 is confused now
[06:20] <tritium> wolter: any time, buddy!
[06:20] <ethana2> am I going to get my bluetooth headset working tonigh?
[06:20] <cwillu> ethana2, probably not
[06:20] <ethana2> or should I just give up until tomorrow/
[06:20] <dartagnon1234> rdw200169, so that worked.. am I going to have to do that every time I restart?
[06:20] <rww> ethana2: I'm guessing you tried the stuff in !bluetooth already?
[06:21] <rdw200169> dartagnon1234, yes, until you set it in the Gnome Network Manger thing, or in /etc/network/interfaces
[06:21] <ethana2> rww: yes
[06:21] <ethana2> rww: I got it to play sound
[06:21] <ethana2> I just can't get it to not brutally murder pulseaudio
[06:21] <allquixotic> wolter: How did you fix it?
[06:21] <rww> ethana2: can't say I blame it. I want to brutally murder PulseAudio regularly.
[06:21] <dartagnon1234> rdw200169, what line should I add to my /etc/network/interfaces file?
[06:21] <wolter> allquixotic, i installed the nvidia-glx-180 package from the repos, like you said, it was all about the video drivers...
[06:22] <wolter> allquixotic, should I run nvidia-xconfig to get all the effects enabled?
[06:22] <wolter> i mean, tritium
[06:22] <tritium> wolter: which effects?
[06:22] <allquixotic> wolter: No, if you were using the binary drivers before then nvidia-xconfig won't do anything more for you
[06:22] <cwillu> wolter, appearances | effects | ->extra should do it
[06:22] <wolter> tritium, i dont know... with nvidia-xconfig there is always an extra section with a lot of options
[06:23] <wolter> ah
[06:23] <DWITA_99> why am I always banned freom dalnet
[06:23] <DWITA_99> why am I always banned from dalnet
[06:23] <tritium> DWITA_99: this is freenode, not dalnet
[06:23] <rww> DWITA_99: No idea. Go ask dalnet.
[06:23] <wolter> cwillu, not those effects, i have compiz enabled... i mean the buffer stuff and all that alien gpu options
[06:23] <DWITA_99> sorry
[06:23] <tritium> wolter: if you're referring to compiz stuff, see cwillu's response above
[06:23] <rdw200169> dartagnon1234, use dns-nameservers
[06:23] <cwillu> wolter, nvidia-settings?
[06:24] <cwillu> bonez451, still there?
[06:24] <rdw200169> dartagnon1234, i.e. in the section for the interface for the internet, which should have been set up already w/ the address/netmask/gateway, add the line 'dns-nameservers 208.67.222.222'
[06:25] <wolter> cwillu, thanks then
[06:25] <wolter> haha
[06:25] <rdw200169> dartagnon1234, here's where i found your answer, if you want to read more: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html
[06:26] <tritium> rdw200169: excellent use of a good reference
[06:26] <Tully12> rdw200169, http://paste.ubuntu.com/109689/  <-- I GOT IT!
[06:26] <rdw200169> tritium, i try to help
[06:26] <dartagnon1234> rdw200169, thanks-you've been a big help.
[06:26] <tritium> rdw200169: nice work.  Thanks!
[06:27] <Tully12> rdw200169, thanks alot for your help man i really appreciate it
[06:27] <rdw200169> Tully12, 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] <cwillu> is there anyway to make aptitude reinstall do a purge of the package, rather than just doing a normal reinstall?
[06:27] <rdw200169> Tully12, hey, no problem !
[06:28] <rdw200169> Tully12, i remember what heck i've been through trying to do the same thing...
[06:28] <Hilikus> hey guys, how can i split a file into several parts but so that they don't have to be all the same size? i just want the first slice to be of a different size and everything else the same
[06:29] <dracnoc> cwillu: add the --purge option to the command
[06:29] <rdw200169> Tully12, ah, i see what it was: you aren't using DFP monitors (digital)
[06:29] <rdw200169> Tully12, i should have put CRT in the modelines...
[06:29] <Diehardy> hello
[06:30] <cwillu> dracnoc, thanks
[06:30] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I formatted a Sata drve on my computer but it wont let me make a new folder or copy paste anything on to the drive for back up any idea why?
[06:30] <rdw200169> Tully12, shoot, you could *seriously* upgrade your monitors!  i'm running dual on a Geforce 7X series and i've got much higher resolutions, + 3D acceleration
[06:30] <cwillu> dracnoc, --purge isn't a commandline option in man though
[06:30] <Tully12> rdw200169, i didnt do that nvidia-settings did LOL, so idk dumb luck i guess
[06:30] <Diehardy> are there any actual chat rooms i can go to?
[06:31] <rdw200169> Tully12, yeah, that's what it did then
[06:31] <rww> !ot | Diehardy
[06:31] <rdw200169> Tully12, it only made a couple minor changes
[06:31] <dracnoc> cwillu: try it without the --
[06:31] <Diehardy> !ot
[06:31] <cwillu> dracnoc, that's a purge then, not a reinstall
[06:31] <Tully12> well rdw200169, thanks again for everything, im off to go customize everything to hell and back nao
[06:32] <rdw200169> Tully12, does compiz work on ea. screen?
[06:32] <ziggles> hi 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] <rww> U-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] <Tully12> rdw200169, yep everything wigglez
[06:32] <cwillu> dracnoc, nvm, just using dpkg directly
[06:33] <dracnoc> cwillu: lol, fair enough.
[06:33] <U-b-u-n-t-u> rww thanks and its mounted in media/disk
[06:33] <rdw200169> Tully12, 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 8.04
[06:33] <U-b-u-n-t-u> its that where it should be?
[06:33] <U-b-u-n-t-u> is*
[06:33] <rww> U-b-u-n-t-u: sounds about right. You'd replace "/path/to/mountpoint" with "/media/disk/" in the commands above.
[06:33] <Tully12> ahh ok thanks rdw200169 for the tip
[06:34]  * cwillu purges hal and pm-utils
[06:34] <U-b-u-n-t-u> rww thanks I am going to change the permissions now then
[06:34] <rdw200169> Tully12, 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-screen
[06:34] <moviebox> Hi - 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 ? ?
[06:35] <ziggles> anyone know how i can name a computer something like host.domain.com ?
[06:35] <Tully12> rdw200169, saved that cuz i wont remember it lol
[06:35] <rdw200169> Tully12, 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 them
[06:35] <rdw200169> Tully12, i do that alot!
[06:36] <cwillu> yay, I can reboot from the menu again :p
[06:36] <U-b-u-n-t-u> rww worked perfectly thanks!
[06:36] <cwillu> rdw200169, most apps  (well, movie players, and some games) do that even with xinerama
[06:36] <rww> U-b-u-n-t-u: You're welcome! Glad I could help :)
[06:36] <Hilikus> how can i split a file into several parts but so that they don't have to be all the same size? i just want the first slice to be of a different size and everything else the same
[06:36] <cwillu> rdw200169, i.e., doubleclick totem on one screen, you can still drag stuff from screen to screen, and totem's fullscreen stays on the screen it started on

[06:37] <cwillu> rdw200169, ... no.

[06:38] <lanoxx-> where does ubuntu store source code for applications?
[06:39] <cwillu> lanoxx-, apt-get source <packagename> will download the source for that package
[06:39] <rdw200169> cwillu, 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 mentioned
[06:39] <rdw200169> cwillu, i'm still using 8.04, i haven't tried w/8.10
[06:39]  * cwillu shrugs at rdw200169
[06:39] <cwillu> rdw200169, been doing this since 7.04
[06:39] <lanoxx-> cwillu, thx
[06:40] <rww> KungfuJoe: 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/Releases
[06:40] <KungfuJoe> Ok, 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] <cwillu> rdw200169, what was the compiz problem you were having?
[06:40] <lanoxx-> cwillu, what the respective command for aptitude?
[06:40] <ziggles> Anyone know how to rename a host to host.domain.com ???
[06:40] <rdw200169> cwillu, choppy video w/compiz on both screens
[06:40] <jtaji> KungfuJoe: you have hte latest, 8.10 (october 2008)
[06:40]  * Tully12 hi fives rdw200169 and hands him 12 dollars worth of asian porn
[06:40] <cwillu> lanoxx-, no idea, but I'd imagine aptitude --help would tell you :p
[06:40] <KungfuJoe> Ok, thanks guys
[06:40] <cwillu> lanoxx-, aptitude isn't really giving you anything for that case though
[06:40] <rww> KungfuJoe: Intrepid is the current version of Ubuntu. It was released in October, 2008 and will be supported until April, 2010. The next version of Ubuntu will be coming out this April.
[06:40] <KungfuJoe> Jtaji: Porn's free

[06:50] <ziggles> jtaji: i was hoping to setup the computer so i could reach it from anywhere on the net by using a fqdn
[06:50] <moviebox> MethinX; What are you looking for?
[06:50] <TelQuel> I have tried setting my keyboard layout to toshiba sattelite but it is the wrong model or something because the keys are not mapping properly.
[06:51] <c0l2e1> how can I fix my Compaq Presario 2100 to work with LCD Projector
[06:51] <adante> thanks jtaji
[06:51] <jtaji> ziggles: you're using a cable modem, with a router?
[06:51] <rolnzyx> I am trying to make a desktop launcher icon that runs a command on a terminal and doesn't close it when it's finished . If I do right click on the desktop and then select create launcher, I can't find that "don't close terminal option" Any help making a that non closing terminal launcher?
[06:51] <ziggles> yep
[06:51] <ziggles> oh sorry, the host i want to do this on is not
[06:51] <jtaji> ziggles: your hostname in ubuntu doesn't really matter
[06:52] <TelQuel> anyone know why my keyboard will not function correctlyÉ
[06:52] <ziggles> jtaji: the host i would like to set this up on is exposed to the net... no router blocking
[06:52] <jtaji> ziggles: go to dyndns.com and get yourself a free domain name, and probably your router has a ddns client which can update that domain name with your current IP
[06:52] <TelQuel> that accented E was meant to be a question mark... wait, is my keyboard set to french perhapsÉ
[06:52] <seektherapy> How can i find my configurations for my sound card?
[06:53] <cwillu> TelQuel, yesÉ
[06:53] <TelQuel> how the hell do I make it englishÉ
[06:53] <MethinX> Could anyone help me find a program that resembles AutoCAD? or any type of program that designs homes?
[06:53] <Azharn> In bash, how do I create mysql tables within a database?
[06:54] <jtaji> ziggles: you still only have 1 dynamic IP address from comcast so you'll want to use dyndns to map that to a domain name
[06:54] <Paddy_EIRE> Gah.. selinux is a pest
[06:54] <Paddy_EIRE> woops
[06:54] <TelQuel> I am trying to switch to usa in keyboard layouts instead of canada but it won let me
[06:54] <jtaji> ziggles: you can set your linux system up with that dyndns domain name.. or do you own your own domain name?
[06:55] <ziggles> jtaji: i have my own :)
[06:55] <TelQuel> the keyboard settings have not saved or something
[06:56] <ziggles> jtaji: if i set the host's dns servers to point at the same DNS that my domain points at... can i then simply rename the host and have it pinging?
[06:56] <TelQuel> ???
[06:56] <TelQuel> AHA!
[06:56] <TelQuel> finally I have struck a blow for functionality with this infernal machine.
[06:56] <mooja> hey, new to linux - can 'ls' command show the size of each directory like windows explorer? I would like to sort directories by their size, but can't find how to do it in a man page
[06:56] <TelQuel> Ahhh to be able to punctuate again! Is this what separates man from beast?
[06:56] <jtaji> ziggles: the problem is your comcast IP address can change
[06:57] <ziggles> ah
[06:57] <jtaji> ziggles: unless you want to use and pay for dyndns's custom dns, you can set a CNAME in your domain's zone to point to the free dyndns domain
[06:57] <ziggles> jtaji: what if my IP was static?
[06:57] <jtaji> ziggles: then it's easy :)
[06:58] <ziggles> jtaji: lol awesome because i have ANOTHER host i need to do this for that 100% of the time has a static ip
[06:58] <somethingclever> i know about wine, i use it and love it, is there anything to run mac apps (intel based apps) on linux
[06:58] <somethingclever> ?
[06:58] <ziggles> jtaji: is it as easy as just setting the record in the nameserver?
[06:58] <TelQuel> does anyone know of other office software aside from openOffice that is good?
[06:59] <TelQuel> also free.
[06:59] <patmanpato> is there a way (or tool) to upgrade nvidia drivers to 180.22 ? (im using 177.82 in intrepid)
[06:59] <DasEi> TelQuel: abiword
[06:59] <ice_cream> i suppose you could find separate apps not all bundled in a suite
[06:59] <cwillu> TelQuel, koffice
[06:59] <jtaji> TelQuel: there is koffice, and abiword/gnumeric/etc..., we'll leave the evaluation to you ;)
[07:00] <ziggles> jtaji: maybe an A record?
[07:00] <TelQuel> what do you fellas use?
[07:00] <jtaji> jtaji: yeah
[07:00] <ziggles> jtaji: that's really it?! lol... i have been blowing this out of proportion i think lol.
[07:00] <ziggles> jtaji: thanks man!
[07:00] <TelQuel> I need something that accomodates the navy blue background/white text layout for word processing because I write a lot and it hurts my eyes to use black/white.
[07:01] <jtaji> ziggles: yeah no problem
[07:01] <cwillu> Technoviking, so you're really looking for a good text editor/word processor in particular
[07:01] <ziggles> jtaji: sorry one more Q.  Does the host need any kind of configuration?
[07:01] <cwillu> TelQuel, ^^^
[07:01] <ice_cream> white text doesnt hurt your eyes? o.O
[07:01] <cwillu> TelQuel, abiword in fullscreen mode perhaps?
[07:01] <cwillu> ice_cream, inverted colour schemes have uses
[07:02] <jtaji> ziggles: you might want/need to set the IP statically in /etc/network/interfaces
[07:02] <ardchoille> TelQuel: Thought about changing your gtk theme?  http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2
[07:02] <ice_cream> i've sort of setup my own little light blue theme with varied black and white text
[07:02] <ziggles> jtaji: got it, thanks again sir!
[07:03] <ice_cream> but to type a lot on a dark background with white text...i dont see how that'd make it easier on the eyes
[07:03] <cwillu> ice_cream, less light
[07:03] <TelQuel> Yeah, I want to try to get my whole system the least eye-blazing I can. Does anyone know how to change colour layout in openoffice?
[07:03] <ziggles> god i want some ice cream
[07:03] <cwillu> ice_cream, especially on a crt, staring at a black screen all day is _way_ easier on the eyes
[07:04] <cwillu> ice_cream, don't forget, you don't have to keep contrast and brightness cranked up on the monitor :p
[07:04] <TelQuel> ice cream: the brain does a very poor job with monochromatic contrast
[07:04] <TelQuel> ice cream: that is why so many optical illusions involve grayscale
[07:05] <ice_cream> k
[07:06] <patmanpato> anyone know if there is there a way (or tool) to upgrade nvidia drivers to 180.22 ? (im using 177.82 in intrepid)
[07:06] <jtaji> TelQuel: Tools > Options ... OpenOffice.org > Appearance
[07:07] <cwillu> patmanpato, apt-get install nvidia-glx-180?
[07:07] <cwillu> !info nvidia-glx-180 | patmanpato
[07:07] <cwillu> patmanpato, (I only found out about that today, I'd been using a ppa with -180 in it before)
[07:08]  * cwillu huggles tritium in patmanpato's general direction
[07:08] <patmanpato> cwillu: oooh, ill try it
[07:08] <patmanpato> :P
[07:08] <TelQuel> I installed ubuntu as a backup for my windows XP installation but I think I am going to completely eliminate my doze now.
[07:08] <TelQuel> jtaji: thanks.
[07:08] <jtaji> TelQuel: enjoy
[07:08] <TelQuel> Now I need to gets some fonts like palantino
[07:09] <patmanpato> haha, eliminate ur doze :P sounds funny
[07:09] <TelQuel> so that my prof accepts my damned papers heh.
[07:09] <TelQuel> haha, I am working the overnight shift... eliminating doze is a big priority!
[07:09] <cwillu> TelQuel, apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:10] <cwillu> TelQuel, installs flash, mp3 codec support, and the ms fonts
[07:10] <cwillu> among other things
[07:10] <TelQuel> my windows installation got a nasty case of the vundo virus last week... came through java
[07:10] <nightrid3r> !sis
[07:11] <ubuntnew> TelQuel: what does that virus do
[07:11] <TelQuel> a lot.
[07:12] <ipooptoomuch> i have ubuntu 8.04 is the laptop killing bug patched in this version?
[07:12] <TelQuel> the newer incarnations install themselves in a plethora of different places
[07:12] <ipooptoomuch> i read around and i cant figure it out
[07:12] <TelQuel> and rename themselves frequently
[07:12] <MrPeepers310>  hey in kde 3 i had a setting were a windows toolbar (i.e. File, edit, etc...) would show up on the top of the desktop. (like in mac os X) now in 4 that toolbar just pops out and acts as an actual window. Is there a way to undo that mac osX style setting?
[07:12] <quein> Is there away to remember to hookup to a shared folder on another computer - I guess same as or similar to mapping a drive in windows ?
[07:12] <cwillu> ipooptoomuch, I can't decide whether to ignore you or to answer your question (might start by using a, um,  different, nick
[07:13] <TelQuel> then it spies on you for a while hoping that you buy some stuff online or what have you.
[07:13] <cwillu> ipooptoomuch, but which bug?
[07:13] <ipooptoomuch> the one that makes your hard drive park and unpark
[07:13] <ipooptoomuch> with ac power on
[07:13] <TelQuel> Then it starts trying to hijack your administrator account and if your virus protection is weak then its pretty much game-over
[07:14] <skate2> is there a keyboard shortcut for showing your desktop?
[07:14] <cwillu> ipooptoomuch, don't know.  Haven't had any issues myself
[07:14] <TelQuel> if you try to remove it it often remotely downloads another copy somewhere else, pretty annoying
[07:14] <ubuntnew> wow, that's pretty bad
[07:14] <cwillu> bug #104535
[07:14] <TelQuel> worst virus I've dealt with in years
[07:14] <ubuntnew> have u kill it
[07:15] <cwillu> ubottu, bug #104535
[07:15] <cwillu> and listen when I talk to you
[07:15]  * cwillu smacks the bot
[07:15] <TelQuel> I'm just going to wipe my windows installation because it is dirty anyway and I am thinking of expanding my familiarity and partition size for Ubuntu heh
[07:15] <ubuntnew> good for u
[07:15] <TelQuel> the real kicker is that it came in through sun's java platform
[07:16] <TelQuel> I sort of feel like I'd rather not run even the outside chance of having this sort of thing happen again. heh.
[07:16] <Flannel> TelQuel: Please keep the discussion on topic.  Windows Viruses aren't.
[07:16] <HayesWilliams> i am chasing a bug in ifconfig and i need an ip address someone pm it to me!
[07:16] <ipooptoomuch> i keep windows install on seperate partition it makes wiping easy...theres a cd iso somewhere that will auto install windows with one keypress
[07:16] <TelQuel> flannel: sorry, I got asked a question and got carried away with the answer.
[07:17] <mib_lr2xdd> how can i change the destination folder for a download that has already been added to transmission? 8.04 and Transmission 1.22
[07:18] <cwillu> ipooptoomuch, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695
[07:18] <TelQuel> anyone know of a good beginner guide for using the terminal?
[07:18] <ardchoille> !terminal
[07:18] <dmsuperman> TelQuel: You mean using bash?
[07:18] <dmsuperman> !bash
[07:18] <cwillu> ipooptoomuch, seems to imply that it's fixed in hardy and intrepid
[07:18] <ipooptoomuch> thanks... i read and i wanted to make sure
[07:18] <TelQuel> indeed, thanks ubottu
[07:19] <dmsuperman>  !bot
[07:19] <ubuntnew> heh, i guess ubottu is a robot
[07:19] <werdnum> !best | ubottu
[07:19] <TelQuel> I am polite even to NPCs haa
[07:20] <ipooptoomuch> i used an ubuntu 5 cd and did all the upgrades to 8.04... is my install going to be slower than a clean install from a 8.04 cd
[07:20] <cwillu> ipooptoomuch, launchpad.net is usually fairly authoritative information
[07:20] <cwillu> ipooptoomuch, way more authoritative than something like ubuntuforums, for instance
[07:20] <ipooptoomuch> thanks
[07:21] <dmsuperman> ipooptoomuch: I would generally avoid a full upgrade, especially one with so many versions, and instead just do a fresh reinstall
[07:21] <Tekumel> I'd like to install Teamspeak Server from the package repository (instead of downloading from Teamspeak's website), but I don't want to run as a default user. How would I go about changing the user it runs as at startup?
[07:21] <phorensic> My playlist in vlc doesn't let me drag and drop items into it. Also VLC will not change the skin, it remains on a certain one even after sudo apt-get remove --purge vlc then reinstall, any ideas?
[07:21] <ipooptoomuch> well i used ubuntu 5 because my laptop has no external drives other than the hard drive (i used a desktop to install it to the hard drive and then moved the hard drive to my laptop in the middle of the conversion)
[07:21] <ipooptoomuch> er
[07:21] <ipooptoomuch> installation
[07:22] <dmsuperman> ipooptoomuch: You could run a network install if your laptop supports booting from the network
[07:22] <phorensic> ipooptoomuch: USB install???
[07:22] <ipooptoomuch> no usb support
[07:22] <dmsuperman> !netboot
[07:22] <ipooptoomuch> and i tried network and never got it to work
[07:23] <TelQuel> I am trying to get the restricted extras package but I keep getting an error saying it is temporarily unavailable. What gives? I need those fonts. heh.
[07:23] <TelQuel> ahhh it's because there's an update running
[07:24] <fmeff001> what can i do, if there's no keycode assigned to my Super_L-key???
[07:24] <dmsuperman> ipooptoomuch: Either way, linux isn't typically like windows, you can usually move it around and it will continue to function normally
[07:24] <dmsuperman> ipooptoomuch: Try putting the drive in your desktop and installing the latest version there, then move it back
[07:25] <ipooptoomuch> but this is the only thing that worked out of my 8 os cds
[07:25] <dmsuperman> ipooptoomuch: Intrepid Alternate install CD doesn't work?
[07:26] <ipooptoomuch> i havent tried... and i dont want to go through and reinstall from the same old cd in case it wont work
[07:27] <dmsuperman> ipooptoomuch: Well, just keep it in mind, if you end up having issues because of all the upgrades, then that's one way you may be able to get the latest version installed
[07:27] <Usman> Hi
[07:27] <ipooptoomuch> yeah i had to download over 1000 packages... its doing its job
[07:27] <Usman> I have a problem detecting the wireless network card of my laptop with Ubuntu
[07:28] <cwillu> ipooptoomuch, dmsuperman, that being said, it's possible to have a clean install through a bunch of upgrades, but it really helps to know what the major changes were for each update, and then checking the workarounds added and removing the ones you don't actually need
[07:28] <Usman> Laptop is HP Pavilion DV 1251NR
[07:28] <dmsuperman> cwillu: It's certainly possible, but with that many changes you're a lot more likely to have a conflict
[07:28] <ipooptoomuch> well... worst case scenario what kind of performance hit am i looking at
[07:28] <Usman> and Ubuntu version 8.04
[07:28] <dmsuperman> ipooptoomuch: Theoretically none
[07:29] <Usman> can anyone help me with detecting it?
[07:29] <Flynsarmy> What's a bluetooth GUI program i can use for gnome?
[07:29] <cwillu> ipooptoomuch, after it's all done, creating a new user (admin, etc) to use instead of the one you started with will get rid of some clutter
[07:29] <c0l2e1> how can I fix my ubuntu to work with LCD Projector?
[07:29] <ipooptoomuch> yeah this pentium 3 386mb ram is about as fast as my p4 2gb ram windows machine
[07:29] <dmsuperman> Usman: Try typing "lspci" and pasting the results into http://pastebin.com/ then give us the URL it takes you to
[07:29] <phorensic> Flynsarmy: Doesn't it have one already installed?
[07:30] <TelQuel> what browser do you guys use?
[07:30] <Flynsarmy> phorensic, the default bluetooth icon isn't appearing in my taskbar. i dunno how to get it back. gnome-bluetooth is installed
[07:30] <TelQuel> FF?
[07:30] <dmsuperman> !poll | TelQuel
[07:30] <ipooptoomuch> yeah
[07:30] <phorensic> Flynsarmy: system-prefs-bluetooth
[07:31] <Usman> Okay,I am doing it now
[07:31] <Usman> 2 mins
[07:31] <Flynsarmy> phorensic, already tried it. i set it to appear always. no dice. i also went applications - accessories - bluetooth ifle sharing and now have an icon up there. but when i right click all i hvae is 'about' and 'quit'
[07:31] <ipooptoomuch> once i get up to 10+ tabs though i get lag but thats on this $200 beater laptop
[07:31] <dmsuperman> Flynsarmy: Type "bluetooth-properties" into a terminal and see what it says
[07:31] <Flynsarmy> dmsuperman, no output
[07:31] <dmsuperman> Flynsarmy: Does it return you to a prompt or continue to run something?
[07:31] <phorensic> Flynsarmy: Is it a laptop, the bluetooth is turned on and everything
[07:32] <Flynsarmy> dmsuperman, returns to next prompt
[07:32] <Flynsarmy> phorensic, it's a laptop. pretty sure the bluetooth is turne don because in the system - preferences - bluetooth is found my phone
[07:32] <dmsuperman> Flynsarmy: What about "bluetooth-properties --singleton"
[07:32] <dmsuperman> phorensic: Shouldn't matter, I don't even _have_ bluetooth but it opens up for me on my desktop
[07:33] <Flynsarmy> dmsuperman, unknown option
[07:33] <phorensic> dmsuperman: True .. it opens fine for me too...
[07:34] <phorensic> Flynsarmy: try which bluetooth-properties
[07:35] <Flynsarmy> phorensic, dmsuperman already got me doing that. it just went to next prompt with no output
[07:35] <Usman> I am using intel wifi 5100agn lspci shows intel corporation unknown device 4327
[07:35] <dmsuperman> Flynsarmy: No, "which bluetooth-properties"
[07:35] <phorensic> Flynsarmy: with the "which" in front?
[07:35] <Flynsarmy> phorensic, i'm able to 'bond' my laptop with my phone but dunno how to transfer files. i did that by hitting the '+' button in the system - preferences - bluetooth
[07:35] <ipooptoomuch> when i create a new user how do i make sure that user has admin access
[07:36] <dmsuperman> Usman: Pastebin the entire output
[07:36] <Flynsarmy> phorensic, dmsuperman /usr/bin/bluetooth-properties
[07:36] <cwillu> ipooptoomuch, put him in the admin group
[07:36] <dmsuperman> ipooptoomuch: sudo usermod -a -G admin USER_NAME for the command line way to do it
[07:37] <ipooptoomuch> oh theres gui shit here \o/ woot
[07:37] <dmsuperman> !ohmy
[07:37] <phorensic> Flynsarmy: bluetooth-browse
[07:37] <ipooptoomuch> but i was named after a sailor
[07:37] <menlo> I have a dell optiplex with integrated ADI 198x audio card. anyone knoow the way to get it running?
[07:37] <dmsuperman> ipooptoomuch: That's no excuse
[07:37] <Flynsarmy> phorensic, that got it! thanks!
[07:37] <ipooptoomuch> sorry
[07:38] <phorensic> Flynsarmy: hey
[07:38] <phorensic> Flynsarmy: What I did was type in which blue and then hit tab and it gave me a list of programs starting with blue (autotab feature is very useful)
[07:38] <Usman> I have sent it
[07:39] <dmsuperman> Usman: You have to tell me the URL it takes you to
[07:39] <Flynsarmy> phorensic, ok. thanks for the tip
[07:40] <TelQuel> I am trying to install the ms fonts and I can do that by doing "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" in terminal once my other updates are done, correct?
[07:40] <clearzen> so 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] <Usman> http://pastebin.com/m7bd46011
[07:40] <cwillu> clearzen, don't think so
[07:40] <Usman> I got this URL http://pastebin.com/m7bd46011
[07:41] <clearzen> I 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 available
[07:41] <cwillu> clearzen, memory addressing isn't related to harddrives though
[07:41] <phorensic> clearzen: I don't think that matters, is this hardware or softwre raid?
[07:42] <clearzen> It's hardware
[07:42] <dmsuperman> TelQuel: You could just do sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts but yeah I think that does it too
[07:42] <cwillu> clearzen, unless you have a bugreport about it
[07:42] <cwillu> TelQuel, yes, and also a bunch of other useful stuff
[07:42] <phorensic> clearzen: I can't se this being a problem at all.
[07:42] <Usman> Yes I have sent you the URL
[07:43] <TelQuel> hrm 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] <cwillu> clearzen, the 32/64bit is about how much address space (ram, basically) a single process (program) can use
[07:44] <cwillu> clearzen, 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 though
[07:44] <skate2> 3gb ram vs up to 8gb?
[07:44] <dmsuperman> So I'm reading this about how to use bluetooth, but what if lsusb doesn't list my bluetooth adapter? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[07:44] <nightrid3r> wow after messing arround for 6 months i finaly got my laptop resolution right, managed to find a driver in .deb format for my SIS 771/671 laptop chip
[07:44] <cwillu> skate2, it's quite a bit more actually, but it's only implemented incrementally by motherboards
[07:44] <Tekumel> I'd like to install Teamspeak Server from the package repository (instead of downloading from Teamspeak's website), but I don't want to run as a default user. How would I go about changing the user it runs as at startup?
[07:44] <clearzen> phorensic: well look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3fs#Size_limits am I reading it wrong?
[07:45] <cwillu> skate2, 64 GB
[07:45] <phorensic> clearzen: One possibility is the file system you are using, lemme see the doc
[07:45] <phorensic> brb
[07:45] <nightrid3r> for those interrested see wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelineaC1541
[07:45] <cwillu> clearzen, that's the file system, unrelated to 32bit/64bit processors
[07:46] <skate2> cool
[07:46] <cwillu> clearzen, 8kb block size is up to 16tb, as listed on that page
[07:46] <nightrid3r> cwillu: on a very low level it might be relevant when blockcount goes over max adress size
[07:46] <clearzen> yeah, but I can only get a 8kib block size with a alpha architecture
[07:46] <cwillu> clearzen, eh?
[07:47] <cwillu> clearzen, block size is set by the file system, nothing to do with the hardware
[07:47] <clearzen> sorry 8kib pages like alpha
[07:47] <cwillu> clearzen, 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 files
[07:47] <ubuntnew> how to set firefox work with mplayer-plugin
[07:47] <cwillu> clearzen, this isn't talking about vm pages
[07:47] <clearzen> look at the note for 8kib block sizes
[07:48] <nightrid3r> wow 16tb files for ma pron :)
[07:48] <phorensic> cwillu: ext4? What additions did they make is is just larger file size support?
[07:48] <cwillu> phorensic, there's lots of changes
[07:48] <clearzen> anyway, I'm using 6.06. Could I still use ext4 partitions?
[07:48] <theatrus> clearzen, not without upgrading your kernel manually
[07:49] <TelQuel> hrm how do I adjust my screen brightness? It's not under appearance?
[07:49] <cwillu> clearzen, okay, so 16tb then
[07:49] <cwillu> clearzen, 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 there
[07:49] <djyoung4> http://ihateliz.com/?id=2v6e5z71xo5qvolx8v5v0edkdlbg3d
[07:49] <clearzen> cwillu: at what point during partitioning can I specify block size?
[07:50] <cwillu> clearzen, 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 pages
[07:50] <clearzen> cwillu: 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] <cwillu> clearzen, okay
[07:50] <clearzen> cwillu: okay, I guess I'll just dig around
[07:50] <cwillu> clearzen, if you have a spare drive, play around with lvm + dmraid + partitioning, to get a good grip on it
[07:50] <adante> hi, 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?
[07:51] <clearzen> cwillu: or RTFM
[07:51] <cwillu> clearzen, gparted can get some of that started, although you'll really want to understand everything that is involved
[07:51] <Usman> dnsuperman: the link I got is:  http://pastebin.com/m7bd46011
[07:51] <cwillu> clearzen, if you have to stay on 6.06 (or an old kernel, etc), you might also want to look at the other possible fs's
[07:51] <nightrid3r> adante: must be very old laptop
[07:51] <fmeff001> whats happening if i get keycodes for my Super_L and Super_R keys with <showkeys>, but xev only shows a keycode for Super_R????
[07:52] <cwillu> clearzen, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Limits
[07:52] <cwillu> clearzen, jfs might be useful
[07:52] <clearzen> cwillu: sweet thanks for the link
[07:52] <adante> nightrid3r: its somewhat old, yes thanks for your concern
[07:52] <TelQuel> does anyone know where to adjust my screen's brightness? I do not see it in preferences.
[07:53] <nightrid3r> adante: you can do it but i suggest you install xubuntu as it needs less resources than ubuntu
[07:53] <clearzen> cwillu: 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] <cwillu> clearzen, 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] <brotherhand> I'm having a problem with this random occurrence every couple minutes making the Login sound
[07:53] <cwillu> clearzen, how many drives?
[07:53] <adante> nightrid3r: thanks i was actually wondering if there was a guide to explain how this was done as i could not see anything in the community documentation
[07:54] <brotherhand> it is accompanies by this log
[07:54] <brotherhand> Jan 26 02:51:08 system kernel: [45640.143959] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 15
[07:54] <brotherhand> Jan 26 02:51:08 system kernel: [34216.860694] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 16

[07:54] <nightrid3r> adante: put hd in good laptop, install, put hd in old laptop, boot, :)
[07:55] <clearzen> cwillu: if I do raid 10 I will use 8 drives
[07:55] <brotherhand> there arent any performance problems, but can anybody tell me how to stop the Login sound from happening every couple minutes?
[07:55] <nightrid3r> adante: it might complain about xorg but that can be solved
[07:55] <clearzen> cwillu: I was thinking about the seagate 1.5TB
[07:55] <cwillu> clearzen, I kinda prefer 10 if you're not on a budget that is severely restricting the number of drives you use
[07:55] <Glu3> hey
[07:55] <Glu3> im a guy
[07:55] <clearzen> cwillu: yeah, scalability is always a plus
[07:55] <adante> nightrid3r: 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?
[07:56] <cwillu> clearzen, on the other hand, I'm also a fan of simply using dmraid/lvm instead of a hardware raid :p
[07:56] <cwillu> clearzen, easier to switch hardware around, no raid card to die, etc
[07:56] <nightrid3r> adante: no, /dev/hdXX settings have to match
[07:56] <cwillu> nightrid3r, mounting et al happens by uuid now, not by physical device path
[07:57] <nightrid3r> oh
[07:57] <Usman> http://pastebin.com/m7bd46011 doo you have a lolution for this?
[07:57] <skate2> i reassigned the keyboard shortcuts for volume up/down to ctrl+alt+up and ctrl+alt+down, but nothing happens when i press itl. any ideas?
[07:57] <cwillu> nightrid3r, and it's /dev/sd* for most everything now too :p
[07:57] <nightrid3r> learning something new evry day :)
[07:58] <cwillu> skate2, 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] <skate2> i dont have compiz
[07:59] <cwillu> no idea then
[07:59] <nightrid3r> cwillu: so i guess adante can go with the usb thingy
[07:59] <cwillu> nightrid3r, firm maybe :p
[07:59] <nightrid3r> cool
[07:59] <skate2> what's better to do for a laptop when turnin it off at night, hibernate or standby?
[07:59] <cwillu> nightrid3r, I think the desktop installer won't install to a usb drive by default, but I don't know for sure
[07:59] <cwillu> skate2, I just leave mine on, not really any practical difference between the two though
[08:00] <PeoplesAdvocate> if I installed webmin using dpkg how to i uninstall everything that was installed with it?
[08:00] <cwillu> either way, the drive should be in power saving
[08:00] <skate2> cwillu,  neither use any battery power right?
[08:00] <flodin> skate2: Standby will strain the battery
[08:00] <Mechdave> PeoplesAdvocate, use sudo apt-get autoremove
[08:00] <skate2> ah
[08:00] <cwillu> PeoplesAdvocate, unless it keeps track, you'd have to know what you installed and remove it via dpkg/apt/synaptic/etc
[08:00] <Mechdave> Oops dpkg
[08:00] <PeoplesAdvocate> ok cool thanks
[08:00] <cwillu> skate2, suspend will you a very slight amount of power (my laptop can stay suspended for days before it goes dead)
[08:01] <cwillu> skate2, best thing is to leave it plugged in anyway
[08:01] <skate2> cool
[08:01] <skate2> i dont like leaving it plugged in because the charger uses a lot of electricity
[08:01] <cwillu> skate2, modern batteries prefer to be tricklecharged, they should either be in use, or be plugged in
[08:01] <cwillu> not really
[08:01] <nightrid3r> PeoplesAdvocate: i don't think webmin installs additional software, except maybe some perl module which won't hurt your system
[08:02] <cwillu> skate2, 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] <TelQuel> anyone know whether I can set screen brightness in ubuntu?
[08:02] <skate2> ok
[08:02] <PeoplesAdvocate> what if it was a .deb ? does it apply or is there a easier way to uninstall
[08:02] <TelQuel> I find it a bit eye-blazing at present
[08:02] <cwillu> skate2, suspend/hibernate while plugged in with a fully charged battery should be negligable
[08:02] <cwillu> TelQuel, I think it's under power settings
[08:02] <cwillu> TelQuel, fn+left/right might do it too
[08:03] <cwillu> PeoplesAdvocate, deb files are what apt/dpkg/synaptic do
[08:03] <cwillu> PeoplesAdvocate, synaptic has a filter for 'local/obsolete' packages, which should list anything installed through a deb without a repository
[08:03] <TelQuel> I don't see it under power settings
[08:04] <phorensic> TelQuel: Cant do it manually on the monitor?
[08:04] <PeoplesAdvocate> cwiilu: how do i get to it
[08:04] <cwillu> PeoplesAdvocate, system | admin | synaptic
[08:04] <TelQuel> it's a laptop, so no.
[08:04] <phorensic> TelQuel: There should be a function shortcut on the lappy
[08:04] <PeoplesAdvocate> cwillu: oh im sorry, im on the terminal, sorry forgot to mention that
[08:05] <PeoplesAdvocate> im doing this via ssh
[08:05] <phorensic> TelQuel: Try looking at the F-keys for a brightness icon
[08:05] <PeoplesAdvocate> from work
[08:05] <TelQuel> yeah, but without the shortcuts from windows software the function isn't going to do much.
[08:05] <TelQuel> I have the function shortcut but it doesn't work in linux
[08:05] <cwillu> TelQuel, uh, try it
[08:05] <phorensic> TelQuel: Oh bummer.. mine works
[08:05] <TelQuel> I have
[08:05] <cwillu> TelQuel, what model of laptop?
[08:06] <TelQuel> toshiba satellite
[08:06] <cwillu> what model
[08:06] <cwillu> exactly
[08:06] <TelQuel> A100 I believe
[08:06] <cwillu> ... can you check?  :p
[08:06] <cwillu> this only work if I have good information to go on :p
[08:06] <PeoplesAdvocate> haha
[08:06] <TelQuel> it is the a100
[08:06] <cwillu> k
[08:06] <ayande> does ubuntu come with preinstalled firewall
[08:06] <PeoplesAdvocate> yes
[08:06] <PeoplesAdvocate> iptables
[08:07] <cwillu> ayande, yes, but it's not enabled by default, nor do you generally need it
[08:07] <ayande> i have a desktop edition
[08:07] <ayande> oh
[08:07] <cwillu> you don't need it unless you're planning on using it as a router/gateway, basically

[08:07] <PeoplesAdvocate> ayande: I use firestarter to mess with my firewall
[08:07] <phorensic> ayande: If you are really paranoid there are a couple options you can use
[08:07] <TelQuel> that's what happens when I try to use firefox now haha
[08:07] <ayande> but doesnt that mean that ppl can connect to my pc through all ports?
[08:08] <cwillu> TelQuel, sec
[08:08] <cwillu> ayande, no, it doesn't work like that
[08:08] <ayande> i need to install firestarter `?
[08:08] <cwillu> ayande, people can only connect to a port that has an application listening on it
[08:08] <ayande> i see
[08:08] <PeoplesAdvocate> sudo apt-get install firestarter
[08:08] <ayande> so no need to set it
[08:08] <PeoplesAdvocate> its only to configure your iptables
[08:08] <cwillu> ayande, ubuntu has no applications listening on ports by default (windows does, which is the causes of alot of grief)
[08:08] <cwillu> exactly
[08:09] <ayande> PeoplesAdvocate will that mess things up at all?
[08:09] <cwillu> s/causes/cause/
[08:09] <ayande> i see thanks cwillu
[08:09] <Usman> I have a problem detecting the wireless network card of my laptop with Ubuntu
[08:09] <PeoplesAdvocate> ayande: no, you can always undo what you did
[08:09] <Mechdave> cwillu, lol
[08:09] <cwillu> Mechdave, eh?
[08:09] <ayande> nice
[08:09] <Usman> Laptop is HP Pavilion DV 1251NR
[08:09] <cwillu> TelQuel, pastebin me the contents of lsmod
[08:09] <cwillu> !pastebin | TelQuel
[08:09] <Usman> and Ubuntu version 8.04
[08:09] <ayande> thanks PeoplesAdvocate, cwillu and other for helping
[08:09] <ayande> chears
[08:09] <PeoplesAdvocate> hold on
[08:09] <ayande> i go try now
[08:10] <ayande> me?
[08:10] <Mechdave> cwillu, s/causes/cause = perl replace reg exp
[08:10] <PeoplesAdvocate> let me get you the docs for it
[08:10] <ayande> k
[08:10] <cwillu> Mechdave, did you want an /r on the end of it so it'd be a vim search/replace? :p
[08:10] <Mechdave> cwillu, can if you want but I can't drive vim :(
[08:11] <PeoplesAdvocate> ayande: check this site out. Should have all info on firestarterhttp://www.fs-security.com/
[08:11] <ayande> thanks alot
[08:11] <TelQuel> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109702/
[08:11] <ayande> ill lread up
[08:11] <Mechdave> cwillu, I also missed the / off the end
[08:11] <cwillu> Mechdave, 'i', 'r', 'esc', ':w', ':q', '/search<enter>n'
[08:11] <cwillu> TelQuel, lsmod in a pastebin, please
[08:12] <TelQuel> sec, my terminal is stuck on a user agreement for sun microsystems that doesn't appear to want to accept "ok"
[08:12] <djyoung4> im having problems partitioning my harddrive when i go to install ubuntu.  the error just says there was a problem resizing it.  any suggestions
[08:12] <cwillu> TelQuel, so, open a new one :p
[08:12] <cwillu> djyoung4, reboot into windows, run a chkdsk c: /f, reboot twice (cleanly!!), and try again
[08:12] <PeoplesAdvocate> cwillu: Im trying to uninstall webmin from terminal, im doing this through ssh at work. I was hoping maybe you can point me in the direction of where to look so I can unistall it.
[08:13] <suigeneris> hello. i have a problem. volume is up, alsamixer says that too. but i don't have sound. how come?
[08:13] <djyoung4> cwillu:  ive done that and i get the same problem
[08:13] <TelQuel> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109703/
[08:13] <PeoplesAdvocate> suigeneris: well first of all...are your speakers connected? lol
[08:13] <TelQuel> cwillu ^^^
[08:13] <cwillu> djyoung4, might be that there's some bad blocks on the drive
[08:14] <suigeneris> also speaker icon has a red circle
[08:14] <cwillu> djyoung4, there's an option to chkdsk to do a bad block scan (/? to show the list), it'll take a few hours to run though
[08:14] <phorensic> djyoung4: What are you using to resize?
[08:14] <ramavadakattu> i have made an entry to /etc/crontab like */1 * * * *  root  python /home/rama/djangoprojects/doloto/cronjobs/fetchffeed.py      but how
[08:14] <djyoung4> gparted
[08:14] <suigeneris> PeoplesAdvocate, this is a laptop
[08:14] <ramavadakattu> how to start it
[08:14] <ramavadakattu> and how to know whether it is working or not
[08:14] <TelQuel> hrm what should I do with this hung terminal? I keep hitting "y" "enter" "o" but nothing will accept the damned user agreement
[08:14] <phorensic> djyoung4: Perhaps you can try partitioning with partitionmagic or something more windows based??
[08:15] <suigeneris> ramavadakattu, when you save it, it will be started every minute
[08:15] <Sludge321> Hey guys. I'm thinking about getting a new phone - either an iphone or Nokia N96. Anyone have any experience with either and Ubuntu? 2 things I am most concerned about are bluetooth 3G boardband modem (I understand maybe a 3rd party app for the iphone would be required), and the syncing of contacts/calendar/music.
[08:15] <phorensic> TelQuel: tab to get it onto yes?
[08:15] <ramavadakattu> suigeneris : how to confirm
[08:15] <phorensic> TelQuel: or maybe arrow??
[08:15] <TelQuel> arrowed, thanks!
[08:15] <suigeneris> ramavadakattu, ps aux
[08:15] <odracir34> Sludge321: buy a nokia 3230 is the best thing to do.
[08:15] <vasoq> my laptop was shippe with 2 40 gig partitions. i have windows on the first, and the second has nothing on it. how should i install ubuntu to dual boot? can i partition manually?
[08:15] <ramavadakattu> suigeneris : ok
[08:16] <vasoq> i don't like the way it tries to resize it automatically, and it failed trying to do it automatically anyway
[08:16] <TelQuel> once I get used to the terminal it will be smooth sailing heh
[08:16] <Sludge321> odracir34: does that have GPS/mapping functionality?
[08:16] <suigeneris> vasoq, use fdisk
[08:16] <phorensic> vasoq: Pop in the disk and manually configure it
[08:16] <vasoq> i don't see that option
[08:16] <odracir34> Sludge321:  nope you dont need that shit, because it never works good anyway
[08:16] <suigeneris> vasoq, use the livecd, then fdisk
[08:17] <vasoq> is the "manual" option essentially fdisk?
[08:17] <phorensic> vasoq: So you have a free 40 gigs just chillin waiting to have ubuntu installed onto it?
[08:17] <Sludge321> odracir34: ok, cheers - will go check out the specs
[08:17] <cwillu> TelQuel, what happens if you close the lid for 4-5 seconds, and then try to set the brightness?
[08:17] <djyoung4> ok thanks for the advice
[08:17] <suigeneris> vasoq, oh, are you already on the livecd?
[08:17] <TelQuel> sec, I'll try doing that in a sec, testing new fonts
[08:17] <vasoq> phorensic, yes, though i don't think i want to use all 40
[08:17] <phorensic> vasoq: Basically it gives you control over how to split up the paritions and what to mount, filesystem type etc
[08:17] <vasoq> suigeneris, i'm going thru the install process
[08:17] <ramavadakattu> suigeneris : it is not there in the list. (ps aux)
[08:18] <vasoq> i've used fdisk before
[08:18] <ramavadakattu> suigeneris : may be some thing wrong
[08:18] <phorensic> vasoq: The livecd should be easy to figureout the partitioning part.. there are a few caveats
[08:18] <TelQuel> haha the one font I need didn't come in the pack: palantino. brb.
[08:19] <cwillu> TelQuel, if that works, make a launchpad.net account, and make a note on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/102099
[08:19] <suigeneris> ramavadakattu, try top
[08:19] <suigeneris> ramavadakattu, that is updated every second,
[08:19] <TelQuel> it doesn't work.
[08:20] <TelQuel> does the same thing it did before... it flips between windows on here or if on desktop... it does nothing. brb, must restart firefox.
[08:20] <ramavadakattu> suigeneris : please check the  crontab file http://dpaste.com/hold/113067/ once (will try top)
[08:21] <suigeneris> ramavadakattu, you can use * * * * * rather than */1 * * * *
[08:21] <TelQuel> well firefox is working again
[08:21] <TelQuel> time to get a real irc client next, and to find out how to get palantino to work on ubuntu
[08:22] <KungfuJoe> Guys, I'm in deep shit. I was messing with my xorg.conf file, and now my graphics are severely messed up.
[08:22] <KungfuJoe> I changed the file back, but it still won't fix
[08:22] <KungfuJoe> How can I reset my video?
[08:22] <phorensic> KungfuJoe:try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ??
[08:22] <TeePOG> KungfuJoe: press "Rewind".
[08:22] <KungfuJoe> I tried that, didn't work
[08:22] <KungfuJoe> REWIND?!
[08:23] <KungfuJoe> what's rewind? This isn't a VHS
[08:23] <TeePOG> KungfuJoe: sorry, kidding. move /etc/X11/xorg.conf away from there and press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[08:23] <phorensic> KungfuJoe: Are you using a gfx card?
[08:23] <KungfuJoe> Nvidia
[08:23] <KungfuJoe> GTX260
[08:23] <djyoung4> anybody have a suggestion for a good cellphone that i could maybe install a ubuntu type os onto
[08:24] <phorensic> KungfuJoe: Ok so I think the way nvidia handles there shit reconfiguring xorg doesn't affect the right files
[08:24] <chillu> djyoung4: A netbook won't do? :)
[08:24] <nightrid3r> djyoung4: openmoko
[08:24] <koshari> KungfuJoe as a lasty resort you can boot a live session and copy thats xorg file accross
[08:24] <KungfuJoe> TeePOG: I'll try that, brb...or not if it works ;)
[08:24] <chillu> nightrid3r: what's openmoko?
[08:24] <cwillu> KungfuJoe, did you install nvidia's driver from their site, and it broke?
[08:24] <koshari> KungfuJoe and of course next time you will back up xorg :-)
[08:24] <nightrid3r> chillu: open source cellphone
[08:24] <phorensic> KungfuJoe: Does your xorg file make calls to other files for the display info?
[08:25] <jrgp> I've got ubuntu setup with identical dual monitors. is there a way of getting a different wallpaper on each monitor within gnome?
[08:25] <fmeff001> whats happening if i get keycodes for my Super_L and Super_R keys with <showkeys>, but xev only shows a keycode for Super_R????
[08:25] <cwillu> jrgp, in a word, no
[08:25] <cwillu> jrgp, you could make a wide background of the right size out of two backgrounds, and set that as your background
[08:25] <chillu> nightrid3r: I'm stuck on a VT with elinks :D Don't really want to check out stuff on google myself..
[08:25] <cwillu> jrgp, they call it (that feature): "unnecessary complexity" :p
[08:26] <jrgp> ah, ok
[08:26] <cwillu> jrgp, I think kde can do it though_:p
[08:26] <jrgp> that's what I've been doing
[08:26] <phorensic> jrgp: Create the background to make it appear that they are 2 different ones but really its one big one stretched and cut perfectly?
[08:26] <jrgp> merging
[08:26] <cwillu> jrgp, some day they'll add it, but not this release :(
[08:26] <jrgp> right
[08:26] <djyoung4> openmoko is sweet what service providers would i have to go through though
[08:27] <chillu> got tor working. _finally_. The man tor is all wrong! I had to copy settings from a torrc generated from an XP machine and use that. Works like a charm!
[08:27] <cwillu> djyoung4, any provider that works with gsm.  Probably won't be able to find a subsidized one
[08:27] <djyoung4> what do you mean subsidized
[08:28] <TelQuel> brb on xchat
[08:28] <nightrid3r> djyoung4: subsidised = sing 100 year contract and get free phone
[08:28] <cwillu> djyoung4, when you buy a phone from a service provider, and they make you sign up for 1 year contract or whatever, they're giving you a discount on the phone in exchange for the contract
[08:29] <djyoung4> ok thanks gotta do some research then
[08:31] <d0netsFN> hey my ssh isnt working, and it has done this before and i had to remove some file, any idea what that file might have been?
[08:31] <jrgp> once one masters emacs, is it better than nano?
[08:31] <jrgp> d0lphin_n0el, try rm -r ~/.ssh/
[08:32] <cwillu> um
[08:32] <cwillu> careful
[08:32] <TelQuel> xchat 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 replace
[08:32] <cwillu> keys and the like
[08:32] <jrgp> if it doesn't work at all, it might fix the problem
[08:32] <nightrid3r> djyoung4: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Main_Page
[08:32] <cwillu> jrgp, mv ~/.ssh ~/.ssh.old would do the same thing, and not cause any other issues
[08:33] <jrgp> right
[08:33] <cwillu> jrgp, i.e., preventing him from logging on to machines that only allow id_rsa logins, etc
[08:33] <jrgp> gotcha
[08:33] <cwillu> try to avoid suggesting rm -r as a fix, especially when you don't know if its the problem
[08:33] <nightrid3r> jrgp: emacs requires 12 fingers to use it
[08:34] <djyoung4> thanks nightrid3r i was looking at this one called the t mobile wing which runs windows mobile whatever but this is so much better
[08:34] <cwillu> it's right up there with the usual advice of deleting all the .gnome/.gconf folders to 'test' if they're causing the problem
[08:34] <Usman> Tumhari maa ki
[08:34] <cwillu> yes, you fixed the problem, by killing the patient
[08:34] <Usman> I got the ansmwer
[08:34] <cwillu> and maybe you didn't fix the problem either :p
[08:34] <TelQuel> is there not a way to increase the font-size in xchat?
[08:35] <TelQuel> haha killing the patient is such an elegant solution.
[08:35] <happycodemonkey_> jrgp: emacs has a pretty high learning curve, but many people think it's worth it in the long run
[08:35] <jrgp> TelQuel, settings > prefs > text box. click browse font
[08:35] <jrgp> well, I've gotten used to screen's strange interface. I guess emacs isn't that harder
[08:36] <TelQuel> I only see Edit > Settings > no text box present
[08:36] <TelQuel> replace settings with preferences
[08:36] <jrgp> oh, you're using gnome-xchat, TelQuel?
[08:36] <Usman> all of u motherfuckers
[08:36] <cwillu> jrgp, no, he's not using gnome-xchat
[08:36] <Usman> fuck off
[08:36] <TelQuel> I figured it out though thanks
[08:37] <TelQuel> yeah, is there a different version I should be using?
[08:37] <cwillu> TelQuel, xchat-gnome is utter crap :p
[08:37] <jrgp> I agree
[08:37] <cwillu> TelQuel, 'xchat' is more useful
[08:37] <cwillu> !info xchat
[08:37] <jrgp> hmmm
[08:37] <jrgp> !info irssi
[08:37] <TelQuel> ok, well then point me to the righteous path... hehe.
[08:38] <jrgp>  /win
[08:38] <cwillu> didn't think it was even the default :/
[08:38] <TelQuel> I just did a search and this is what I found
[08:38] <d0lphin_n0el> jrgp why?
[08:38] <jrgp> irssi is awesome
[08:38] <rolnzyx> I am trying to make a desktop launcher icon that runs a command on a terminal and doesn't close it when it's finished . If I do right click on the desktop and then select create launcher, I can't find that "don't close terminal option" Any help making a that non closing terminal launcher?
[08:39] <nightrid3r> djyoung4:  CellBuntu 9.04 would be a great idea :)
[08:39] <TelQuel> cwillu: where can I get the non-gnome version of xchat then?
[08:39] <cwillu> TelQuel, 'xchat'
[08:39] <Killeroid> TelQuel: sudo apt-get remove xchat-gnome && sudo apt-get install xchat
[08:39] <cwillu> TelQuel, instead of xchat-gnome
[08:39] <djyoung4> nightrid3r: on what
[08:39] <nightrid3r> on yhe openmoko
[08:39] <TelQuel> righte-o, back in a jiffy then.
[08:40] <gerber> need help setup network ubuntu with windows xp
[08:40] <djyoung4> o gotcha do you have an openmoko
[08:41] <nightrid3r> no iys still in beta, only for developers
[08:41] <cwillu> gerber, make sure windows firewall is set to allow window file sharing, then share the folder you want:  you'll be able to access it from ubuntu in nautilus via:  smb://windowsComputerName/share
[08:41] <djyoung4> i could buy it right now if i wanted to
[08:41] <cwillu> gerber, alternatively, from nautilus, right clicking on a folder, and hitting 'sharing' should let you go the other way
[08:42] <djyoung4> its like 400 bucks though
[08:43] <cwillu> djyoung4, most phones cost around that
[08:43] <gerber> when i go to network is nothing there
[08:43] <cwillu> djyoung4, phones are expensive when your provider isn't subsidizing most of the cost :p
[08:43] <TelQuel> and I'm back
[08:43] <djyoung4> thats true but what did you say was only open to developers
[08:45] <Finnish> What is the best tool to extract audio from video?
[08:45] <toki> Hey guys any reason i cant find screens and graphics on 8.10
[08:45] <TelQuel> hrm
[08:46] <nightrid3r> djyoung4: read the main wiki page of openmoko.org
[08:46] <koshari> Finnish avidemux?
[08:47] <TelQuel> why is my text always gray?
[08:47] <kernel> Maybe, do you using Xchat?
[08:47] <TelQuel> I am, I am finding that gnome had easier colour options
[08:47] <gerber> where is nautilus ?
[08:48] <Finnish> koshari: IT's .dv-video, Avidemux can't open it?
[08:48] <djyoung4> yeah i read it   it needs a keyboard though i cant do the touchscreen thing
[08:49] <gerber> where is nautilus ?
[08:49] <seektherapy> seektherapy, you have got two sound devices
[08:49] <seektherapy> 	<Visseroth>	lol
[08:49] <seektherapy> 	<LinuxCode>	which one do you want to make work ?
[08:49] <toki> hey guys  would anyone know why i cant find "screens and graphics" in my options for main menu in 8.10
[08:50] <TelQuel> is there a way to make my text not appear grayed out in xchat because as it is it is very hard to read
[08:50] <djyoung4> or i could make one
[08:52] <fosco_> TelQuel: Settings - Preferences - Colors
[08:52] <toki> hey guys  would anyone know why i cant find "screens and graphics" in my options for main menu in 8.10
[08:53] <fosco_> toki: that app is not available in 8.10
[08:53] <Uplink> how can i install the game Juiced 2 in my ubuntu PC?
[08:54] <fosco_> toki: most similar is gnome-display-properties
[08:54] <toki> fosco_: ok so how do i adjust for a monitor that isnt being detected
[08:55] <fosco_> toki: manually
[08:55] <toki> can you walk me through that
[08:55] <ubuntnew> how to make mozilla-mplayer play .wma file on the web
[08:55] <fosco_> edit /etc/X11/xorg.cong and put you monitor settings there
[08:55] <fosco_> .conf*
[08:55] <toki> ok
[08:59] <Coolkid> I have a ubuntu live CD, and while installing , it is giving SQUASHFS error
[09:01] <Coolkid> i want to install ubuntu to an external disk and i have another laptop. Is there anyway for me to copy the live CD image to the external disk (from the other HDD) and boot with the external Hard disk image and install with the HDD
[09:01] <Coolkid> read it as -> from the other Laptop
[09:01] <TelQuel> there we go, xchat is looking much nicer now and my keyboard seems fixed.
[09:02] <Coolkid> any possible help?
[09:03] <rww> Coolkid: there are a whole bunch of possible installation techniques on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation . Take a look through and see if any would work for you.
[09:04] <Coolkid> what does it mean by persistant mode?
[09:05] <rww> Coolkid: persistent mode (e.g. for USB install) means that if you change settings or install stuff while booted into the Live Desktop environment, those changes will be saved and still there after a reboot. (as opposed to the normal, non-persistent LiveCD, where changes are lost on reboot)
[09:05] <TelQuel> I still can't fix my screen brightness

[09:17] <uniquepot> What is best way to install Fluxbox ? currently using ibex/gnome desktop
[09:18] <uniquepot> just use stnaptics?
[09:18] <uniquepot> synaptics
[09:18] <rww> uniquepot: install the "fluxbox" package. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox
[09:18] <b_band_bond_d> #surabaya
[09:19] <uniquepot> rww; thanks much
[09:19] <rww> uniquepot: you may or may not need the detailed install instructions on that page, depending on if the bugs it mentions got fixed.
[09:21] <uniquepot> rww; nah - doesn't look like it this box - is solid as a rock stable NO problems here - just use Synaptics then or Terminal
[09:22] <tuntun> I've got a problem with window borders. How do I disable the compiz border translucency?
[09:22] <adante> anybody here setup a netboot server? i am trying but my client is throwing a PXE-T04: Missing mode error
[09:23] <uniquepot> rww; Can I use sudo apt-get install fluxbox  ?
[09:23] <adante> i'm trying to figureo ut why but this error does not seem to be so common
[09:24] <phorensic> uniquepot: yes
[09:25] <phorensic> uniquepot: atleast that is an available package that can be installed
[09:26] <quibbler> tuntun, what is the problem with the border?
[09:26] <uniquepot> phorensic; already at synaptics - will do same install correct - ctr/alt/backspace (twice) to restart session and select fluxbox - this of course would be after install ?
[09:26] <phorensic> uniquepot: yep
[09:27] <uniquepot> phorensic - thx - going to go w/out kde install this time....
[09:28] <tuntun> quibbler, the window buttons dis/appear randomly.
[09:28] <phorensic> uniquepot: What you use now?
[09:28] <quibbler> tuntun, open the compiz manager and make sure windows decorations is checked
[09:28] <phorensic> tuntun: u using metacity??
[09:28] <Theeb> i lost my icons tray, network icon,  and some other icon from my panel and i cant find them in the "Add to Panel". any idea how to get them back or restore the panel to the original settings
[09:29] <tuntun> phorensic, no, im using gnome.
[09:29] <phorensic> Theeb: its under a funky name
[09:30] <fosco_> Theeb: add notification area
[09:30] <phorensic> tuntun: no which window decorator?
[09:30] <phorensic> fosco_:  yes i think thts it
[09:30] <Theeb> fosco_, thnx fosco_
[09:31] <fosco_> tuntun: gnome + compiz or just gnome?
[09:31] <alcohol> How do I install extra plugins for gedit?
[09:32] <tuntun> quibbler, it is enabled. The border does not disappear (like when 'window decorations' is disabled), the window buttons do, and the top border turns white.
[09:32] <alcohol> .gnome2/gedit/plugins does not exist
[09:32] <tuntun> fosco_, gnome + compiz
[09:32] <alcohol> can I throw them in .gconf/gedit-2/ ?
[09:32] <phorensic> tuntun: Are u using emerald??
[09:32] <tuntun> phorensic, no
[09:32] <fosco_> alcohol: sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins
[09:32] <ubuntu_is_dabest> how do i set services to run without having to log in the desktop on the startup of ubuntu?
[09:32] <alcohol> fosco_: does not contain some of the plugins I want
[09:33] <gordonjcp> alcohol: so add them then
[09:33] <DavidVWallin> Where is the httpd-binary located if i have apache2 installed on ubuntu 8.10 please?
[09:33] <fosco_> alcohol: manually create .gnome2/gedit/plugins
[09:33] <alcohol> fosco_: ok (:
[09:34] <Flannel> DavidVWallin: /usr/sbin/apache2
[09:34] <gordonjcp> DavidVWallin: "which apache2"
[09:34] <Mpole> hi all.
[09:35] <Mpole> where else can i download Skype for Ubuntu? every time i try to download it from skype.com it keeps breaking off... i cant download it. any mirrors elsewhere?
[09:35] <phorensic> tuntun: I use emerald because I was having some funky issues with my bars dissapearing
[09:35] <Coolkid> , now when i try to create a USB start up disk from the live OS, it is not showing the USB disk in the window
[09:35] <phorensic> mpole: medibuntu.org
[09:35] <Coolkid> i could see the USB drive icon on the desktop
[09:35] <phorensic> Mpole: Go there add the reo and the key then you can  sudo apt-get install skype
[09:35] <Mpole> phorensic: thank you.
[09:35] <phorensic> repo**
[09:36] <Neelabh> How can I use the "install" command in live CD?
[09:36] <user_1989> Good day ladies and gentlemen. Anyone running World of Warcraft under 8.10?
[09:36] <Neelabh> I am unable to find a web resource
[09:36] <phorensic> Mpole: YW
[09:36] <TeePOG> user_1989: I can't comment on that, but my Linux-native Neverwinter Nights is broken under Intrepid but worked in Hardy
[09:36] <phorensic> Neelabh: what are you trying to do?
[09:36] <fosco_> Neelabh: you have an install icon on the desktop
[09:37] <Mpole> another question: how do i find out what is missing, in my new online upgrade of Ubuntu 8.10? i have a feeling i have a partial upgrade.
[09:37] <Neelabh> Actually my CD drive is too slow to reach that point within 1/2 hrs
[09:37] <tuntun> phorensic, the title bar is still there it just turns white on and off, including the window min/max/close buttons.
[09:37] <Neelabh> Even if I reach there, I can't perform the seven steps
[09:37] <Neelabh> The drive is too slow
[09:37] <phorensic> tuntun: you could give emerald a try? I like their presets anyway
[09:38] <fosco_> Neelabh: knowing its name wolt speed that up
[09:38] <fosco_> wont
[09:38] <nite_johnboy> Is there a way to get to another ubuntu box on my network while in fluxbox session ?
[09:38] <Neelabh> Well, from the shell, I can do my work
[09:38] <phorensic> Mpole: hw do you figure you have a partial upgrade? Did you do sudo at-get uupdate && sudo apt-get upgrade?
[09:38] <Neelabh> using the install command
[09:39] <fosco_> Neelabh: use alternate iso instead
[09:39] <tuntun> phorensic, I might have to try it.
[09:39] <nite_johnboy> In gnome I have Places/Network - pretty easy ....
[09:39] <Neelabh> I have downloaded a DVD
[09:39] <Neelabh> Live one
[09:39] <fosco_> Neelabh: no DVD just alternate iso
[09:39] <phorensic> tuntun: I always install it on my desktops.
[09:39] <Mpole> phorensic: i didt the upgrade via Synaptic Upgrade Manager
[09:39] <Neelabh> Is there no other way?
[09:40] <tuntun> phorensic, I'll see if it helps.
[09:40] <phorensic> Mpole: I see, try using the terminal command and see if there was any missing packages
[09:40] <bullgard4> What does the command 'sudo dhclient eth0' effect? While being verbose, I cannot find the answer in 'man dhclient'.
[09:41] <Mpole> phorensic: which one? apt-get update or apt-get upgrade?
[09:42] <phorensic> both copy and paste that whole command
[09:42] <oskar-> bullgard4:  it executes dhclient as superuser, which then requests an ip configuration via dhcp protocol. a dhcp server should answer this request
[09:42] <Finnish_> I'm still trying to mess with extracting audio from video. Avidemux can't help me because its a dv-file
[09:43] <Mpole> phorensic: u mean sudo apt-get install | apt-get upgrade ?
[09:44] <phorensic> no not | use '&&'
[09:44] <phorensic> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[09:46] <Mpole> phorensic: ok... the medibuntu package of skype failed... i think my upgrade isnt complete... lemme upgrade
[09:46] <bullgard4> oskar-: What do you mean by "an ip configuration"? eth0 was configured even before I issued the command 'sudo dhclient eth0'. That is, it had "an ip configuration".
[09:46] <phorensic> Mpole: Did you follow their repository how to?
[09:46] <oskar-> bullgard4:  then the command will try to get a new configuration, and on success reconfigure the device eth0
[09:46] <Mpole> phorensic: no. i probably should?
[09:46] <phorensic> Mpole: You have to yes
[09:47] <c4pt> what are the ram limits for ubuntu x86?
[09:47] <bullgard4> oskar-: Thank you for explaining.
[09:47] <seravitae> more than you have.
[09:47] <SlimeyPete> c4pt: 4GB address space, which means ~3GB usable RAM
[09:47] <c4pt> SlimeyPete, ok thanx
[09:47] <phorensic> Mpole: Because you need to add their key and the correct repository
[09:48] <oskar-> 64 g, i suggest
[09:48] <seravitae> SlimeyPete - he said the architecture, not the cpu bitwidth
[09:49] <Coolkid> how to get the command prompt from ubuntu GUI?
[09:49] <phorensic> apps-accessories-term
[09:49] <Coolkid> thanks
[09:49] <phorensic> coolkid, or you can set it as a keyboard shortcut in ccsm
[09:50] <Coolkid> can't i use cfdisk, if i boot into live OS?
[09:51] <Coolkid> right now am in live OS, and trying to set up a USB boot disk. How do i know, what is my USB drive mapped to in /dev/sd*
[09:51] <zacken> Coolkid: fdisk -l
[09:52] <Coolkid> zacken, it is giving "cannot open /dev/sda/sdb
[09:52] <koshari> Coolkid are you using casper/initrd? or a full system?
[09:52] <Coolkid> am using live CD. Not sure what you mean.
[09:52] <alexb92> hey guys, ive tried installing ubuntu and when it gets up to the partitioning section, an error occurs and it leads me to the manual section
[09:52] <SlimeyPete> seravitae: I assumed he meant 32-bit as he didn't say amd64/emt64
[09:52] <alexb92> any ideas on how to fix?
[09:53] <phorensic> Coolkid: its either sda or sdb not sda/sdb
[09:53] <Coolkid> My laptop's CD drive is having some problem. So trying to set up USB boot and trying to install from external disk
[09:53] <koshari> if you are trying to make a usb live disc it will be irrelevent how your currently mounted live cd sees the usb device
[09:53] <SlimeyPete> seravitae: the ubuntu 32-bit ISO is named x86, whereas the 64-bit one isn't.
[09:54] <Coolkid> phorensic, i got two error message. "cannot open /dev/sda" , cannot open /dev/sdb"
[09:54] <phorensic> koshari: Can you even make a usb boot disk from live cd?
[09:54] <koshari> phorensic yes you can with the 8.10 live cd,
[09:54] <alexb92> can grub run a mac install?
[09:54] <Coolkid> i have 8.10 live CD
[09:54] <phorensic> Coolkid: I forget the process to do this
[09:55] <Coolkid> but, how do i make the USB boot disk
[09:55] <koshari> Coolkid just run the usb creator
[09:55] <Coolkid> i dont want to make anything happen to HDD's in that laptop.
[09:56] <Coolkid> koshari, how to get there? i  mean, usb creator
[09:56] <koshari> Coolkid so you want a live usb device with persistance?
[09:56] <Coolkid> yeah
[09:56] <phorensic> sys-admi-create usb...
[09:56] <luddite> hi all - i have a laptop and it has to go in for repair (screen flicker issue) so i have to back up the HDD on it. Can you Ghost the disk or is there another way so i dont have to re-install?
[09:57] <Coolkid> sys-admi-create usb --> the window doesn't show my USB drive
[09:57] <Coolkid> USB disk to use: column is empty
[09:57] <koshari> Coolkid is your usb device formatted correctly?
[09:57] <koshari> Coolkid see if gparted sees the usb device
[09:57] <Coolkid> i formatted from windows. size is 4GB and formatted with fat
[09:57] <phorensic> koshari: Isn't the format supposed to be somehing like fat only?
[09:57] <Coolkid> not fat32. i think that is the problem
[09:58] <phorensic> maybe thats it
[09:58] <Coolkid> now how do i reformat it?
[09:58] <koshari> phorensic possable , i havnt used the persistance tool for a while and dont jhave a 8.10 disc handy to check
[09:58] <koshari> Coolkid use gparted to format the disk
[09:58] <phorensic> Coolkid: yes use garted
[09:59] <Coolkid> thanks, am running sudo gparted
[09:59] <Coolkid> it doesn't show my USB disk
[09:59] <Coolkid> it shows only the laptop HDDs
[09:59] <phorensic> Coolkid: In future try to use gksudo for graphical programs
[10:00] <Coolkid> thanks
[10:00] <laeg> !nokia
[10:00] <phorensic> Maybe your usb drive is broken?
[10:00] <Coolkid> phorensic, it is 250GB HDD. I just created a 4GB fat partition and rest of the spaces are unallocated
[10:00] <idrissmrabti> Hello, Ive installed Ubuntu on MBP and I've a problem in network
[10:00] <phorensic> Coolkid: sounds like it isn't being found/mounted

[10:01] <idrissmrabti> The problem is that I can Ping website but cannot get to them using firefox

[10:02] <Coolkid> it is /dev/sdb
[10:02] <idrissmrabti> It's weird
[10:02] <koshari> phorensic iam guezsing your prediction of it needing to be fat32 is likely on the money.
[10:02] <Coolkid> it shows fat16
[10:02] <Mpole> phorensic: u were right, it seems there were a lot of packages and libraries that were not updated... it is still updating and upgrading... thanks

[10:02] <Coolkid> but there is key just near to /dev/sbd
[10:02] <Coolkid> sdb*
[10:02] <phorensic> koshari: I just remember some strange filesystem depend..
[10:03] <Coolkid> does it mean, read only?
[10:03] <phorensic> Mpole: no problemo bro
[10:03] <Coolkid> how do i make the disk read/write?
[10:03] <koshari> Coolkidm prolly ,means its mounted
[10:03] <idrissmrabti> any help
[10:03] <idrissmrabti> I'm Stuck
[10:04] <koshari> Coolkidm close gparted, unmount the device and open gparted again
[10:04] <Coolkid> k
[10:04] <idrissmrabti> and dont' to abondan Ubuntu juste for this problem
[10:04] <phorensic> idrissmrabti: thats funky... try any other browser?
[10:04] <koshari> Coolkid as a rule you cannot edit mounted parttiitons
[10:04] <Coolkid> thanks koshari
[10:04] <idrissmrabti> I cant even Download package from synaptic
[10:04] <Coolkid> yeah, now am there in gparted
[10:05] <Coolkid> what should i format it to?
[10:05] <phorensic> idrissmrabti: perhaps any kind of firewall restrictions???
[10:05] <koshari> idrissmrabti sounds like dns server issue to me
[10:05] <laeg> bluetooth is borked in 8.10, but it works for me with the 8.04 livecd but i can install opensync because it's running off a cd, is there a way to run opensync of a usb key when i'm in the live cd?
[10:05] <koshari> Coolkid how bigs the device?
[10:06] <laeg> *can't
[10:06] <idrissmrabti> Firewall on Ubuntu Or What ?
[10:06] <ext4-issues> hi!
[10:06] <laeg> idrissmrabti: it's called firestarter
[10:06] <Coolkid> koshari, this partition is only 4GB. I want to create a boot disk, with which i want to install Ubuntu to another partion
[10:06] <idrissmrabti> And How to disable it
[10:07] <Coolkid> i want to install it in another laptop. Not the one, the external HDD is connected to
[10:07] <laeg> idrissmrabti: applications > internet > firestarter
[10:07] <ext4-issues> I just tried to change to ext4 and I have got into issues like: http://pastebin.com/m528bf097
[10:07] <koshari> Coolkid ok so 2 gig should be enough and use the rest of the space for persistance
[10:07] <Coolkid> and that laptop's CD drive is having some problem
[10:07] <ayande> when i do sudo su it doestn require password
[10:07] <ayande> how can i set pass for it?
[10:07] <idrissmrabti> I've a clear Installation
[10:07] <idrissmrabti> Is it installed by default with 8.10
[10:08] <phorensic> Coolkid: fat32 from what i gather
[10:08] <idrissmrabti> Becaus I've juste installed 8.10 yesterday
[10:08] <koshari> Coolkid 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 gparted
[10:09] <phorensic> idrissmrabti: no firestarter is not installed by default.. on the router I was thinking
[10:09] <idrissmrabti> no I've no firewall on The router
[10:09] <idrissmrabti> Internet Connexion seem to be fine on OS  X and Windows, Ive this issue only on Ubunut
[10:09] <ext4-issues> anyone?
[10:10] <nyaa> with a name like ext4-issues its got to be good lol
[10:10] <koshari> idrissmrabti have you got the dns server details entered into the router for the clients to set up off?
[10:10] <ext4-issues> nyaa: :P
[10:10] <phorensic> ext4-issues: haha you actually using ext4?
[10:11] <koshari>  idrissmrabti you can check if its a dns issue by typing a websites numeric  ip addy directly in the browser
[10:11] <Coolkid> koshari, now it shows 2GB used and 2GB unused, then 230GB unallocated
[10:11] <ext4-issues> phorensic: tried to :(
[10:11] <phorensic> ext4-issues: issues? lol
[10:11] <koshari> Coolkid ok give it a go
[10:11] <ext4-issues> phorensic: yup :D
[10:11] <koshari> Coolkid make sure you click apply changes
[10:11] <idrissmrabti> When I ping a site a ping with it name and it work
[10:11] <phorensic> ext4-issues: Maybe wait for jaunty??
[10:11] <ext4-issues> phorensic: such kind of nick will really help people undestand what's my problem
[10:11] <Coolkid> now the drive icon is not there in desktop
[10:12] <Coolkid> how do i mount?
[10:12] <ext4-issues> phorensic: it doesn't work under intrepid?
[10:12] <nyaa> is there any background to the problem? how did you go about getting to what you have on pastebin?
[10:12] <idrissmrabti> And the router that I ve is Delivered by my Isp
[10:12] <koshari> idrissmrabti ok well forget the dns isseu then
[10:12] <phorensic> ext4-issues: Well i read it will work but in jaunty the support is native????
[10:12] <idrissmrabti> This is the content of my resolv.conf file
[10:12] <scientes> how can i keep pon and poff from editing my resolve.conf?
[10:12] <idrissmrabti> # Generated by NetworkManager
[10:12] <idrissmrabti> nameserver 192.168.1.1
[10:12] <eth01> !pastebin
[10:13] <nyaa> !ext4
[10:13] <koshari> idrissmrabti thats an intranet address?
[10:13] <eth01> idrissmrabti, is it cable or ADSL?
[10:13] <Coolkid> koshari, how do i mount?
[10:13] <idrissmrabti> no ADSL
[10:13] <koshari> Coolkid unplug it and plug it back in
[10:13] <idrissmrabti> It's ADSL
[10:13] <eth01> koshari: lots of routers have builtin DNS functionality.
[10:13] <eth01> so it's perfectly alright to use the routers IP address as [ a ] DNS resolver.
[10:14] <idrissmrabti> and also it act as a DNS
[10:14] <koshari> eth01 they may well do but most just redirect to a www dns server
[10:14] <eth01> koshari: DNS is not WWW.
[10:14] <eth01> koshari: DNS is DNS.
[10:14] <koshari> eth01 well i meant a www range ip addy
[10:14] <Coolkid> koshari, still the USB drive is not showing in the sys-> admin-> make usb disk
[10:15] <eth01> koshari: i think you're getting confused between the router GUI and DNS concept here.
[10:15] <koshari> Coolkid but it is on the desktop showing a fat32 drive?
[10:15] <eth01> idrissmrabti: have you tried opendns for e.g.?
[10:15] <Coolkid> desktop shows 2.1 GB Media
[10:16] <Coolkid> when i check the properties, it shows filesystem type:msdos.
[10:16] <idrissmrabti> no
[10:16] <phorensic> idrissmrabti: im sure you tried reobtaining a ip lease from the router and make it obtain dns info?
[10:16] <eth01> idrissmrabti: i think you should.
[10:16] <Coolkid> where as it shows, Permission of disk could not be determined
[10:16] <burg> hello. i can`t create ubuntu partitions using guided partitioner with free space only
[10:17] <eth01> idrissmrabti: try rebooting your modem - it will resync the connection.
[10:17] <idrissmrabti> The thing is in the etc/resolve.conf i've the correct adresse of my DNS
[10:17] <burg> i get an writting error, then it tells me that i don`t have root partition
[10:17] <idrissmrabti> and my IP adress is static
[10:17] <eth01> idrissmrabti: you can still use external DNS
[10:17] <Coolkid> koshari, Mount point/file system/mount option , all are blank in the "Volume" tab's settings part
[10:18] <idrissmrabti> like the one i used in Windows
[10:18] <gmathews> Hi I am trying to connect my phone via USB and i get this error -> [11877.029026] usb 1-5: device not accepting address 14, error -62
[10:18] <gmathews> [11877.029270] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5
[10:18] <gmathews> It works fine in Windows though
[10:18] <eth01> idrissmrabti: a static IP address won't really affect DNS. other than a manual config.
[10:18] <adam> does anyone here have experience of using prestashop, the ecommerce platform, or know of any IRC chatroom dedicated to it?
[10:19] <idrissmrabti> so what the solution
[10:19] <pwk> hai
[10:19] <koshari> Coolkid i cant imagine why its not showing up in the options for the device , i dont have a 8.10 live disc handy so iam running off memory here,
[10:20] <Coolkid> how do i add write premission for the USB?
[10:21] <Coolkid> for sdb1 -> permission is brw-rw----
[10:21] <Coolkid> is that okay?
[10:21] <luddite> whats the best way to back up the entire ubuntu install?
[10:21] <luddite> and my data
[10:22] <koshari> luddite for the system i like partimage, for dat a i like rsync
[10:22] <ksatux> luddite: clonezilla
[10:22] <randoms> whats the name of the file in ubuntu where you can open ports? or do you have to do it manually trough iptables?
[10:22] <phorensic> Coolkid: Why is the thing not mounting?
[10:23] <Coolkid> phorensic, am not sure what you mean, i could see the drive icon on the desktop
[10:23] <Coolkid> drive icon with a USB sign on it
[10:23] <ksatux> randoms: do it with ufw >> man ufw
[10:23] <phorensic> Coolkid: oh, then you should be able to select the drive from create usb..
[10:24] <Coolkid> phorensic, but in the window, USB disk to use" part is empty
[10:24] <Coolkid> and it asks, "please insert a USB disk"
[10:24] <Coolkid> or is it that, i need to load some driver's ?
[10:24] <burg> can anyone tell me why can`t i make my partitions?
[10:25] <burg> what might be the problem?
[10:25] <randoms> sudo? :>
[10:25] <henry-nicolas> Hi, does anybody know when the 2.6.27.10 will get into intrepid-update (it's actually in intrepid-proposed) ?
[10:26] <Coolkid> in the documentation it says, need to make sure usb-storage kernal module is loaded
[10:26] <Coolkid> how do i check?
[10:26] <fiona> hi
[10:26] <phorensic> Coolkid: Hmm when I did it I had to do it from a hard install using that thing, but you can do it another way
[10:26] <TeePOG> Coolkid: lsmod | grep usb-storage
[10:26] <TeePOG> hi fiona
[10:27] <phorensic> henry-nicolas: Any features that are noteworthy?
[10:27] <Coolkid> usb-storage module is not loaded. grep gave 0 results.
[10:27] <Coolkid> how do i load the  usb-storage module?
[10:27] <henry-nicolas> phorensic: fixing a bug on my laptop
[10:28] <ftab> how do I update my vi editor in Ubuntu 8.10, my default vi do not support the sytax coloring neither the arrow keys
[10:28] <ftab> ?
[10:28] <phorensic> ext4-issues: hey.. aybe your kernel doesn't support ext4???
[10:29] <nyaa> ext4-issues all I can find that supports it is the next release which is jaunty so if you aren't using 9.04 then I don't see how you'd get it to work 0_o
[10:29] <ext4-issues> phorensic: nyaa: please follow me on #linux
[10:29] <ksatux> any one here rum Compiz on Itnel VGA ?
[10:29] <Coolkid> so conclusion is, with in Live CD, i won't be able to load the  usb-storage kernal module ?
[10:30] <ftab> how do I update my vi editor in Ubuntu 8.10, my default vi do not support the sytax coloring neither the arrow keys?
[10:30] <TeePOG> ftab: you need to install the vim-full package
[10:30] <ftab> TeePOG: how do i do that?
[10:30] <TeePOG> ftab: and then you edit /etc/vim/vimrc and uncomment syntax highlighting
[10:31] <phorensic> ksatux: i think i do lolz
[10:31] <TeePOG> ftab: you can't install packages but you want to use vim? rather use nano or kate
[10:31] <ftab> yes
[10:31] <ftab> let me try apt-get vim-full
[10:31] <ftab> that might help I guess
[10:31] <TeePOG> ftab: good plan
[10:31] <ftab> TeePOG : thank you :)
[10:32] <ksatux> phorensic: which module ?
[10:32] <TeePOG> ftab: if you can, rather use aptitude though
[10:32] <TeePOG> ftab: aptitude is better because it cleans up after itself
[10:32] <ftab> what's the difference between aptitude and apt-get
[10:32] <ftab> ?
[10:32] <phorensic> ksatux: module?
[10:32] <hajar> my computer become very slow??
[10:32] <phorensic> ftab: one is more verbose?
[10:32] <liyun100> Why doesn't my gtk-pppoe work?
[10:32] <TeePOG> phorensic: not that simple
[10:32] <hajar> my computer become very slow .. what can I do??
[10:33] <Ljubo> lolz
[10:33] <liyun100> My gtk-pppoe doesn't work.Why?
[10:33] <TeePOG> aptitude is a unified front-end for all the apt-{get,cache,remove} tools. also, apt-get doesn't clean up unused packages whereas aptitude does
[10:34] <phorensic> TeePOG: at-get autoremove??
[10:34] <phorensic> apt**
[10:34] <TeePOG> phorensic: yes, but you need to run that manually. aptitude does that every time
[10:35] <Coolkid> phorensic, i found the usb-module driver from net. but it says to use aptitude / synaptic. how do i use?
[10:36] <phorensic> Coolkid: It isn't already on the disk?
[10:36] <chicao> I'am behide a router, if I set some dns servers at /etc/resolve.conf my machine will still look the servers ?
[10:36] <Coolkid> how do i check?
[10:36] <bobby-> im having a problem with bridged networking, i have created br0 and bridged eth0 to it, then im using dhcp to get an ip for eth0 (purpose for the bridge will be to connect some openvz instances to it later on), eth0 gets the right ip from dhcp but when im trying to ping anything it doesnt see the arp reply from the gateway, i see the arp reply ok in tcpdump both in eth0 and br0, what could keep it from storing the reply in the arp tables?
[10:37] <Coolkid> phorensic, how do i check the package available on disk, and if available how to install?
[10:37] <ayande> how can i set vnc so i can connect to my pc without need to login and user
[10:37] <phorensic> Coolkid: Your running a live disk right? Can you install to a live disk? Doesn't make sense to me
[10:38] <Coolkid> i thought, i could load it to memory
[10:38] <ayande> do i have to set my user to autologin if possible?
[10:38] <phorensic> Coolkid: maybe i just never tried
[10:39] <phorensic> Coolkid: if that was possible you could just sudo apt-get install packagename
[10:39] <phorensic> Coolkid: how come you dont have hard install?
[10:39] <ksatux> ayande: no dont , its a Security risk

[10:59] <Coolkid> phorensic, in reply to "how come you dont have hard install?". I want to install ubuntu in my laptop (IBM TP), but the CD drive has got some problem. While installing giving SQUASHFS error. Now the option i have is to create a USB boot disk with the external Hard disk and install with that. I was trying to create USB disk by loading Live OS with friend's laptop
[10:59] <randoms> mysql server is running, but it does not accept remote conenctions
[11:00] <hajar> my computer become very slow .. what can I do??
[11:00] <phorensic> Coolkid: ahh friends lappy i get it
[11:00] <phorensic> hajar: delete windows: install ubuntu
[11:00] <henry-nicolas> randoms: edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf
[11:00] <DIFH-iceroot> randoms: have you configuired the mysql to accept these connections? skip_networking in the my.cnf?
[11:01] <hajar> I have ubuntu only
[11:01] <paul68> phorensic: problem is that it works correctly however when I want to display the info as ssid and bitrate and link quality in conky it doesn't show them in conky
[11:01] <randoms> yes, but you are sure it will automatically open the port?
[11:01] <phorensic> hajar: no you can look for processes that are going nuts or unused processes
[11:01] <DIFH-iceroot> hajar: is top showing a high cpu-usage?
[11:01] <DIFH-iceroot> randoms: yes
[11:01] <henry-nicolas> randoms: also do not have bind-address and the user that want to remote connect must have appropriate perms
[11:02] <hajar> sorry but how can I find it ??
[11:02] <henry-nicolas> randoms: you can set those user perms using phpmyadmin
[11:02] <randoms> HendriXXX_
[11:02] <randoms> oh
[11:02] <phorensic> Coolkid: try googling for a tutorial, they have a lot of step by stpe ones that should do the trick. All i know is it worked when I did it from hard install
[11:02] <huda> hello all,
[11:02] <DIFH-iceroot> hajar: just type "top" in the terminal
[11:02] <randoms> henry-nicolas: the problem is not there. the server refuses connection
[11:02] <paul68> phorensic: problem is that it works correctly however when I want to display the info as ssid and bitrate and link quality in conky it doesn't show them in conky
[11:02] <phorensic> hajar: open a terminal and type top
[11:03] <henry-nicolas> randoms : so check for a potential firewall or your my.cnf file
[11:03] <Coolkid> phorensic, i tried many ways. But for all that, i need to write in to the USB disk , which am not able to do with the live OS
[11:03] <henry-nicolas> randoms: you can pastebin your my.cnf
[11:03] <hajar> and then??
[11:04] <pauljc> excuse, hello - er moring all.
[11:04] <DIFH-iceroot> hajar: look which program have a high cpu-usage
[11:04] <DIFH-iceroot> hajar: the first program in the list have the highest usage
[11:04] <Coolkid> noe the option pending is installing something which i can do from windows
[11:04] <phorensic> Coolkid: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ubuntu-810-persistent-flash-drive-install-from-live-cd/

[11:04] <jaja> When i use alt-ctrl-f1 from GUI (GUI -> Console mode), the screen show "frequency out of range", how to solve it? (Intel DG45ID X4500 hdmi onboard display & Topcon imercury-22w+)
[11:05] <pidotonb> ciao a tutti
[11:05] <hajar> Xorg .. what is it??
[11:05] <pauljc> Is there a line for questioning? what is the channel protocol?
 list!
[11:05] <phorensic> hajar: xorg is the display manager makes the GUI .. of sorts
[11:06] <phorensic> pauljc: ask away if someone knows they will try and help
[11:06] <pidotonb> qualche buon anima mi può dire come faccio ad avere la lista dei server???
[11:07] <phorensic> !french
[11:07] <pidotonb> !iltaly
[11:07] <henry-nicolas> pidotonb: that's not french ;-)
[11:07] <pauljc> Ok..is it possible to upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 8.10 seamlessly?
[11:07] <Coolkid> phorensic, is there any difference in persistent install vs Hard install?
[11:07] <TelQuel> hello everyone, does anyone know of DVD ripping software for ubuntu?
[11:08] <phorensic> TelQuel: dvd:rip
[11:08] <TelQuel> I want to make a couple back ups of some weathered DVDs of mine.
[11:08] <henry-nicolas> TelQuel: dvdrip, thoggen also
[11:08] <randoms> henry-nicolas: got it working, ty :>
[11:08] <henry-nicolas> TelQuel: to shrink : dvd95
[11:08] <henry-nicolas> randoms: you are welcome
[11:08] <phorensic> Coolkid: hmmm i think u want a persistent install
[11:08] <henry-nicolas> TelQuel: also for KDE : k9copy is great
[11:09] <hajar> ok.. it  becomes  slow ,stop respond .. and the screen degree become low .. what do you think the problem ??
[11:09] <Coolkid> phorensic, but after that i was planning to have a hard install, (once after booting throuh my laptop). is it needed?
[11:10] <phorensic> Coolkid: I think you are just using the persistent install to do a hard install on your pc right?
[11:10] <laeg> is there anyway i can run a program off a memory stick when i'm using the 8.04 live cd?
[11:10] <Coolkid> yeah
[11:11] <Coolkid> my question is, is it needed? or can i go with persistent install itself or not
[11:11] <TelQuel> thanks to those who responded with ripping software suggestions.
[11:12] <TelQuel> any suggestions for a good dvd burning program?
[11:12] <phorensic> I think either one.. my only concern is whether it gives you the option to install from the usb drive
[11:12] <phorensic> TelQuel: K3B
[11:12] <ramavadakattu> i am trying to setup a django  function as a cron job. DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE has been pointing to the project settings.py and it was running properly when i run it in the terminal. but when i made an entry like (*/1 * * * *  rama python /home/rama/doloto/cronj/fetchfeed.py) in crontab it is not runnning properly
[11:12] <Stroganoff> hajar: it might be your graphics driver. what graphics card do you have? if nvidia or ati: have you installed a driver with the restricted driver manager?
[11:13] <TelQuel> phorensic: thanks a lot
[11:13] <phorensic> Coolkid: Its been too long since I had to do this whole deal.
[11:13] <ramavadakattu> i have been working on this problem for a while but could not able to resolve it
[11:14] <Coolkid> i guess, with hard install, OS loading will be faster
[11:15] <luddite> ksatux / koshari : thanks guys: i appreciate it. clonezilla looks awesome
[11:15] <CaMason> hi guys. For some reason, every time I 'svn commit' I have to authorise the server fingerprint, even though I choose 'permanently'
[11:15] <phorensic> Coolkid: yes..
[11:15] <laeg> is there anyway i can run a program off a memory stick when i'm using the 8.04 live cd?
[11:16] <ramavadakattu> other  thing  which i noticed is i created a simple program called abc.py which just creates the file and made an entry in crontab.This  simple problem is scheduled properly and working properly
[11:16]  * dapper-daniel is sill searching someone who is running xen with nvidia drivers... Does ist work?
[11:17] <TelQuel> phorensic: any other nice applications you recommend for a fresh install?
[11:19] <TelQuel> phorensic, you there?
[11:20] <phorensic> TelQuel: amarok, emerald, vlc, (codecs from medibuntu.org)
[11:20] <TelQuel> phorensic, thanks again.
[11:21] <phorensic> TelQuel: adobe reader, unrar, chmviewer
[11:21] <phorensic> TelQuel: Perhaps mysql, phpmyadmin??? depends what u r into
[11:22] <TelQuel> my domain expired, I will get that stuff again once I start hosting again.
[11:23] <TelQuel> I forgot how awesome the open source community is... you need an application and it's almost always right there for you on here.
[11:23] <sainath> i want to install 32 bit library of libwnck on 64 bit ubuntu
[11:23] <sainath> I can't find where to get it??
[11:23] <phorensic> TelQuel: if u like the mac app launcher .. you can look at avantwindownavigator
[11:23] <dr3mro> please any one help me i cant send or recive files over bluetooth in intrepid and it worked in gusty but since hardy i am having problems and dongle works fine under windows so its not broken . please can any one help me fix that .. bluetooth is very important to me ..
[11:24] <elisboa> sainath: aptitude libc32 :)
[11:24] <elisboa> search for a package with a name like this
[11:25] <japr1981> hola como estas
[11:25] <TelQuel> phorensic, what is emerald? I can't find it.
[11:25] <laeg> is there anyway i can run a program off a memory stick when i'm using the 8.04 live cd?
[11:25] <phorensic> TelQuel: Its a window decorator
[11:26] <phorensic> TelQuel: or engine (technicality?)
[11:26] <TelQuel> oh so it makes things look more fancy?
[11:26] <phorensic> yup
[11:26] <TelQuel> I'm running integrated graphics.
[11:26] <igors> anybody 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...
[11:27] <TelQuel> so that sort of thing is likely to hit my performance.
[11:27] <phorensic> TelQuel: thats fine maybe just dont turn up the juice on compiz
[11:27] <Ademan> is there no pkg-config file for building python applications?
[11:28] <TelQuel> ok, where do I find emerald?
[11:28] <phorensic> TelQuel: prob not so much for emeral its compiz you don't want to have to crazy effects
[11:28] <phorensic> TelQuel: sudo apt-get install emerald
[11:28] <lstarnes> Ademan: try python-config instad of pkg-config python
[11:28] <hajar> Stroganoff : sorry for late .. I have ATI but it does not work properly  even I use restricted manager
[11:28] <TelQuel> ahhh I feel like it didn't find the package last time, let me try again
[11:29] <Stroganoff> hajar: you mean installing a driver with resticted manager didn't work?
[11:29] <Ademan> lstarnes: that looks very promising, thanks
[11:29] <Ademan> i 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)
[11:30] <hajar> yes .. because the hibernate and suspend still not work .. and the video still not clear
[11:30] <lstarnes> Ademan: I think doing it this way removes the requirement for pkg-config
[11:30] <phorensic> TelQuel: You can either download themes off sites such as gnome-look.org .. or download the theme packages (sudo apt-get install emerald-themes) i think
[11:31] <Ademan> true but pkg-config is part of build-essential isn't it? and it's always best not to re-invent the wheel imho
[11:32] <TelQuel> hrm package not found for themes
[11:32] <lstarnes> Ademan: it isn't included with build-essential and there are many other linux distributions
[11:32] <Ademan> TelQuel: themes for what?
[11:32] <TelQuel> emerald
[11:32] <TelQuel> I am trying to spruce up my GUI
[11:32] <TelQuel> hehe
[11:32] <Ademan> gnome-look.org should have plenty
[11:32] <phorensic> emerald-themes is the package name
[11:32] <Ademan> metacity themes should work as well
[11:33] <phorensic> TelQuel: ya get some good ones off of gnome-look.org
[11:33] <TelQuel> any recommendations? I am looking there now.
[11:33] <ackbahr> Hi 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?
[11:34] <x-ip> Hi, how can i make grub re-read my menu.lst conf file and reinstall mbr ?
[11:34] <phorensic> Try some metacity ones first, if you want to use emerald you have to do an emerald --replace in a run in term window
[11:34] <x-ip> i could get my partition working, but is using stage1 from the livecd , so now it need the cd to boot and loads the kernel from the cd x'D
[11:34] <phorensic> TelQuel: sort by rating, and pick a high rated one.. find one u like
[11:36] <sainath> elisboa: when i tried to check for libwnck it showed libwnck 64bit
[11:36] <sainath> i checked it in ia32-libs but i can't find one
[11:37] <ext4-issues> how can I sort software by the disk usuage?
[11:37] <Coolkid`> Do i need to have seperate partitions for persistent USB drive? or if i have one single 4GB partion, is that enough?
[11:37] <Ademan> ext4-issues: you mean like how much packages are taking up on disk?
[11:37] <ext4-issues> Ademan: yup
[11:38] <Ademan> ext4-issues: hold on, i had a command i used to use for that
[11:38] <Ademan> i always laughed because emacs took 4th place
[11:38] <Ademan> (there's a long standing joke that emacs is an operating system in and of itself)
[11:38] <phorensic> Coolkid`: 2 should even be enough
[11:39] <cwillu> ext4-issues, open synaptic, and click the 'size' column
[11:39] <Coolkid`> phorensic, you mean a single 2GB partition with fat32?
[11:40] <phorensic> Coolkid`: yah..
[11:40] <Coolkid`> thanks
[11:40] <phorensic> Coolkid`: thats what we did for my friend
[11:40] <ackbahr> I'm on 8.10 Live CD, and I'd like to install wine but apt-get doesn't find it.... Should I enable specific repositories?
[11:41] <smartguyz> GNULinuxien: nice name.....
[11:41] <Coolkid`> phorensic, thanks. let me try
[11:42] <kalie> bonjour, y a-t-il quelqu,un qui parle français ici ou dois-je aller ailleurs?
[11:44] <Ademan> ext4-issues: if you still want a method dpkg-query --show -f '${Installed-Size}\t${Package}\n' | sort -nr -k 1 | less   :-p
[11:45] <macvr> hi all... i'd like to know how to disable readahead during boot?
[11:45] <Ademan> but cwillu's way is obviously simpler and gui-ed
[11:45] <TelQuel> phorensic, where do I use emerald? I don't see it under applications anywhere.
[11:46] <Coolkid`> phorensic, for hard install, what is the HDD size that i need to reserve/
[11:46] <Coolkid`> ?
[11:46] <Coolkid`> and what file system
[11:46] <Ademan> TelQuel: it's a decorator plugin for compiz...
[11:46] <phorensic> TelQuel: system prefs
[11:46] <ext4-issues> Ademan: yup, that rocked :D
[11:47] <TelQuel> gotcha
[11:47] <phorensic> Coolkid`: where installing to? hard drive?
[11:47] <Coolkid`> phorensic, yeah. from the persistant, to have hard install to same external harddisk
[11:47] <Ademan> ext4-issues: hehe thanks
[11:47] <zombie_monkey> I didn't install GRUB when installing Ubuntu, what paremeters do I have to give grub-install to do it now?
[11:47] <TelQuel> so I search for beryl emerald themes correct ?
[11:48] <phorensic> TelQuel: yes
[11:48] <Coolkid`> phorensic, what i have is a 250GB external HDD
[11:48] <elisboa> zombie_monkey: grub-install /dev/device
[11:48] <ext4-issues> Ademan: what are you? bash? or kernel O_o
[11:48] <zombie_monkey> elisboa: em, I forgot, the're aslo a windows partition that I'd like to have an entry too
[11:48] <Mpole> phorensic: i got errors with this command... please troubleshoot
[11:49] <rn0308982> what is the name of the device that controls volume?
[11:49] <Mpole> phorensic: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[11:49] <elisboa> zombie_monkey: lets pvt, right?
[11:49] <phorensic> Coolkid`: i wish i was there to see exacly the setup and what you are trying to accomplish
[11:49] <Ademan> ext4-issues: hehe what do you mean? i'm pretty handy with bash, but by no means an expert... python's way more my thing. bash has alot of idiosyncrasies that annoy me
[11:49] <noon> I installed lighty but I already have a lamp stack built, so when I try to start lighty I get the error port 80 already in use. sys mon doesn't show apache running, so I don't know what to do :(
[11:49] <Mpole> phorensic: am being told there are missing parameters with wget command
[11:49] <ext4-issues> Ademan: yay!!! I love python...
[11:50] <debdeb> Good day
[11:50] <rn0308982> what is the name of the device that controls volume?
[11:51] <rn0308982> and how do i access it from terminal?
[11:51] <hashosaf> hiii
[11:51] <Coolkid`> phorensic, what my plan is, 1. Create a USB live Disk using the live CD. For that i created 2GB partion in the external HDD
[11:51] <phorensic> mpole hmmm looks fine to me ry it this way
[11:51] <V^_^V> hi there
[11:52] <Ademan> ext4-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] <phorensic> Coolkid`: is that part done?
[11:52] <debdeb> i'm trying to link two computers via ethernet to backup one of them. both are running ubuntu. does it need any config ?
[11:52] <ext4-issues> Ademan: hmmm, cython is like jython but in c, right?
[11:52] <Coolkid`> phorensic, now doing the syslinux part
[11:52] <V^_^V> Can you find the return address?
[11:52] <cwillu> debdeb, openssh-server on one of them (with a good password on the user accounts) is all you need
[11:52] <Mpole> phorensic: which way?
[11:52] <V^_^V> Can you find the return address?
[11:53] <cwillu> debdeb, sftp://host.local/ in nautilus would then let you drag files across, or scp/sftp/rsync for the command line
[11:53] <rn0308982> what is the name of the device that controls volume?
[11:53] <rn0308982> and how do i access it from terminal?
[11:53] <cwillu> rn0308982, alsactl
[11:53] <phorensic> Mpole: open up system-admin-software sources
[11:54] <cwillu> rn0308982, sorry
[11:54] <cwillu> rn0308982, alsamixer
[11:54] <walde> Is there a file with information about the number of collisions (ethernet) in /proc? I know I already read it out in earlier time, but I can't find tihs information anymore. Any ideas?
[11:54] <phorensic> Mpole: click on 3rd party and click add
[11:54] <debdeb> cwillu, thx but to what ip i have to connect ?
[11:55] <cwillu> debdeb, the <hostname of the machine>.local
[11:55] <cwillu> debdeb, debdeb-desktop.local
[11:55] <phorensic> Mpole: type in: http://packages.medibuntu.org/ intrepid free non-free
[11:55] <Mpole> phorensic: after that?
[11:55] <Ademan> ext4-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 functions
[11:55] <Ademan> from python-like code.  in that respect it *is* like jython because I think you can use the java standard library in jython
[11:55] <Ademan> hehe ok i'm done rambling
[11:55] <cwillu> debdeb, network manager can tell you the address if need be, but the machinename.local is probably the easiest way to connect
[11:55] <Ademan> night all :-p
[11:56] <debdeb> cwillu, i'll try. thank you
[11:56] <phorensic> Mpole: after that save and then do the rest of the how to
[11:56] <ext4-issues> Ademan: hmmm, I see...
[11:56] <Mpole> phorensic: can you retype that last message to my pm?
[11:56] <cwillu> ext4-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 terminal
[11:57] <V^_^V> Can you find the return address?
[11:57] <Mpole> phorensic: nothing comes up on software sources... i dont get a dialog
[11:58] <cwillu> ext4-issues, cython is something else entirely (unless you were intending to do development on python itself, basically) :p
[11:58] <ext4-issues> cwillu: like I will even in the next century :P
[11:58] <erUSUL> walde: ifconfig gives that info
[11:59] <phorensic> mpole wth
[12:00] <phorensic> Mpole: no dialogue?
[12:00] <V^_^V> can you buffer over flow?
[12:00] <V^_^V> can who buffer over flow?
[12:01] <walde> erUSUL, yes, i know ifconfig. But /proc should contain this info, too and is much easier for scripthandling. Looks really, like I have to use ifconfig.
[12:01] <enigma_> hello, i need some help about configuring internet on ubuntu with icon 225 orange network, please can ayone help me?
[12:02] <erUSUL> walde: this /sys/class/net/$IFACE/statistics/collisions
[12:02] <erUSUL> walde: not in proc but is /sys
[12:02] <walde> erUSUL, thanks a lot.
[12:02] <erUSUL> walde: $IFACE == wlan0 eth0 or whatever
[12:03] <dr3mro> please any one help me i cant send or recive files over bluetooth in intrepid and it worked in gusty but since hardy i am having problems and dongle works fine under windows so its not broken . please can any one help me fix that .. bluetooth is very important to me ..

[12:05] <Ademan> dr3mro: have you checked /var/log/syslog ? i don't know anything about bluetooth but that's generally an alright place to start looking
[12:05] <erUSUL> enigma_: what type of connection is this? xdsl; cable ?
[12:06] <erUSUL> enigma_: what type of hardware do you use router modem if its a modem what type? usb?

[12:07] <ftab> what I need to do?
[12:08] <erUSUL> ftab: you have to enable it in the ~/.vimrc file afaik
[12:08] <erUSUL> ftab: something like "syntax on" iirc
[12:08] <ftab> ok
[12:08] <Mpole> phorensic: goong to System / Administration / Software Sources gave me a password prompt, and nothing after that. why?
[12:09] <paul68> where does ubuntu safe the info according wlan such as ssid, accesspoint signal strength?
[12:09] <enigma_> ok. i am running ubuntu 8.12 kiwi eidition. and when i install it everything is perfect untill i try to install the modem to confure internet, it does nothing. i have internet on orange network, usb modem icon225. i do not know how to install it, because it does not have drivers for ubuntu. can u help me, please?
[12:09] <V^_^V> can you buffer over flow?
[12:10] <Myrtti> enigma_: there is no such thing as ubuntu 8.12 kiwi edition
[12:10] <enigma_> so it says on my edition....
[12:10] <silv3r_m001> hi there
[12:10] <enigma_> anyway...ubuntu 8.10 be it
[12:10] <silv3r_m001> i installed apache ... how to install mod rewrite ?
[12:11] <Mpole> Myrtti: is there a kiwi edition?
[12:11] <enigma_> kiwi edition, as i read it is an edition for romanian users..
[12:11] <erUSUL> enigma_: i never used that modem... but look here http://www.linuxhorizon.ro/icon225.html
[12:11] <enigma_> and it says ubuntu 8.12
[12:11] <erUSUL> enigma_: maybe it works for you
[12:11] <sainath> is there any possibility to install 32 bit dependencies of libwnck on 64bit ubuntu??
[12:11] <enigma_> ok, i'll get a look there to see...
[12:11] <enigma_> and if it won;t work? what should i do then?
[12:12] <ftab> erUSUL: I set both syntax on and set number set number works but the syntax on doesn't
[12:12] <ftab> :(
[12:12] <ftab> though the syntax coloring for .vimrc works  but not for othere files
[12:12] <erUSUL> ftab: well i'm emacs user .... not experience with vi
[12:12] <ftab> hmm thank you any way
[12:13] <enigma_> the link u have given me....i tried that....but it requires internet connexion. and i do not have internet...when i install ubuntu, on one of my partitions, i have no intenret connexion.
[12:13] <Ademan> ftab: what are you trying to do?
[12:13] <enigma_> that's why i want to install this modem and configure internet connexion
[12:14] <ftab> i want my code to be colored
[12:14] <vegombrei> i have a problem sharing files from my ubuntu pc via wifi .. it shows up on my mac but i cant see files or even get permission .. how do i fix this ?
[12:14] <ftab> in vi, I installed the vim-full package but still i am not able to enable that
[12:15] <erUSUL> ftab: maybe you need "filetype plugin on" and "filetype indent on
[12:15] <Ademan> indeed
[12:15] <erUSUL> !samba | vegombrei
[12:15] <Coolkid`> phorensic, okay, am done with the first live disk. Hopefully everything will work fine
[12:15] <Mpole> erUSUL: happy new year. i havent seen u here since last year. how r u?
[12:15] <Ademan> ftab: there's a channel #vim by the way
[12:15] <ftab> hmm thank you :)
[12:16] <Coolkid`> phorensic, how do i connect to irc from ubuntu (if i load the live OS) wanna connect before doing hard install
[12:16] <erUSUL> Mpole: fine thanks; happy new year to you too XD
[12:16] <Ademan> ftab: no problem, by the way what language? because there are usually extra plugins that help with that language
[12:16] <erUSUL> Coolkid`: with pidgin or install xchat and use it
[12:17] <Coolkid`> erUSUL, am totally new to ubuntu, so could you tell me the menu/command for the application
[12:18] <paul68> where does ubuntu safe the info according wlan such as ssid, accesspoint signal strength?
[12:18] <histo> Whats the easiest way to use hostnames on my local network ex: I have a ubuntu server called myserver and from my other ubuntu box or a windows box I want to be able to ssh myserver instead of the ip or ping myserver?
[12:18] <erUSUL> Coolkid`: Applications>Internet>Pidgin
[12:18] <histo> hopefully that makes sense
[12:18] <Coolkid`> thanks....
[12:18] <enigma_> :(
[12:18] <raven> hi everyone
[12:18] <raven> is there any project to use linux on a hp ipaq pocket pc?
[12:18] <erUSUL> Coolkid`: if you install xchat via Aplicattions>Add Remove it will be listed in applications>Internet too both of them connect to this channel by default afaik
[12:19] <Stroganoff> raven: http://www.ipaqlinux.com/
[12:19] <erUSUL> enigma_: the instructions here http://www.linuxhorizon.ro/icon225.html did not work ?
[12:19] <histo> raven, ubuntu also has smaller versions for mobile devices
[12:19] <histo> raven, http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile
[12:20] <erUSUL> enigma_: if you need help with some of the commands in the how to just ask
[12:20] <raven> yeah, thank you
[12:20] <tvgv> WHATS A site for repair
[12:20] <Myrtti> Mpole: not that I know of
[12:20] <enigma_> the instructions there did not work...it required me netwoek connexion
[12:20] <vegombrei> hey does google support ubuntu ?? as in financially ??
[12:21] <Myrtti> enigma_ you can try #ubuntu-ro
[12:21] <enigma_> how can i have netork connexion when i have no internet instaled and oncifugred?
[12:21] <aldipc> vegombrei: no
[12:21] <enigma_> thanks
[12:21] <enigma_> i will try there
[12:21] <Ademan> vegombrei: google contributes to certain open source projects, some of which are very important to ubuntu.  for example google employs guido rossum creator and major contributor to the python programming language
[12:22] <Ademan> vegombrei: they pay him to simply work on python... (among other things)
[12:22] <Mpole> so, can anyone tell me why going to System / Administration / Software Sources DOES NOT bring up the dialog as supposed to?
[12:22] <cwillu> Mpole, you on intrepid or jaunty?
[12:22] <Ademan> considering how many ubuntu applications are python based... that's pretty huge
[12:22] <Ademan> but nothing directly
[12:22] <wers> i just installed the 32bit version of intrepid in my friend's lappy with amd turion. is that okay?
[12:22] <vegombrei> Ademan: oh so in short they are supporting ununtu in a big way eh
[12:22] <ays> Ademan it doesnt asks you for the root pass?
[12:23] <Ademan> vegombrei: i'd say so, but not directly, and every linux distro benefits as well
[12:23] <cwillu> Mpole, does it work if you go in to synaptic and view the repositories config page?
[12:23] <ays> wers if its not complaining... dont poke it ;)
[12:23] <Ademan> ays: that wasn't for me was it?
[12:23] <Mpole> cwillu: can u give me the how-to? i am lost, today
[12:24] <ays> Ademan, sorry mate
[12:24] <ays> my bad
[12:24] <ays> it was for Mpole
[12:24] <Ademan> haha it's cool i was just a bit confused :-p
[12:24] <wers> ays, what's the advantage of using the 64 bit version?
[12:24] <cwillu> Mpole, system | admin | synaptic | settings menu | repositories
[12:24] <nbkonline> hiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[12:24] <ays> sorry again... the text moved downwards fast.... so I missed the right name
[12:24] <V^_^V> can you buffer over flow?
[12:25] <V^_^V> can you buffer over flow?  can you buffer over flow?   can you buffer over flow? can you buffer over flow? can you buffer over flow? can you buffer over flow? can you buffer over flow?
[12:25] <Rencx> hi
[12:25] <cwillu> wers, it'll work, although you're giving up a bit of performance, and any other features of a 64bit machine
[12:25] <TelQuel_> oh man this die hard theme looks amazing
[12:25] <Ademan> any gcc fellows:  "undefined reference to X" that's a linker error right?
[12:26] <Mpole> cwillu: well the synaptic | settings menu "
[12:26] <Mpole> ooops
[12:26] <Mpole> cwillu: i dont have such a menu... i have this...
[12:26] <wers> cwillu, is that amount of performance significant or the advantage of having a conventional 32bit-powered machine is still greater?
[12:26] <Rencx> how i can install .tar.gz files?
[12:26] <Mpole> cwillu: system | admin | synaptic package manager
[12:26] <ays> Rencx tar.gz is archive
[12:26] <Ademan> Rencx: what are you trying to install? .tar.gz is like a zip file
[12:27] <ays> you need to extract it, first
[12:27] <Ademan> Rencx: what is it you're trying to install though?
[12:27] <Rencx> ays, Ademan OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz
[12:27] <Ademan> ah
[12:27] <Ademan> one sec
[12:27] <cwillu> Mpole, I'd suggest you sleep and work on this tomorrow, I don't think you're all there right now :p
[12:28] <TelQuel_> hrm I am trying to load a theme with emerald... and I imported it, but now how do I apply it?
[12:28] <Ademan> Rencx: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml
[12:28] <Mpole> cwillu: this all started when i was trying to install Skype, downloading it from skype.com doesnt work, the connection breaks down, no matter what happens
[12:28] <V^_^V> Can you buffer over flow?
[12:28] <Ademan> Rencx: this is a better way to install it, you'll get updates just like you normally do
[12:28] <ays> Ademan you were faster
[12:28] <ays> :/
[12:28] <Ademan> :-p
[12:28] <Mpole> cwillu: then phorensic suggested i go to medibuntu.org, there were issues about the repositories howto
[12:28] <fosco_> TelQuel_: if you are using emerald window decorations you'll see the new theme inmediatly
[12:28] <cwillu> Mpole, reread what I told you to do
[12:29] <Mpole> cwillu: i did whatever was indicated, it didnt work
[12:29] <Ademan> V^_^V: no, i always check my array bounds
[12:29] <cwillu> Mpole, 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] <cwillu> Mpole, that doesn't bode well for your current state of mind :/
[12:29] <Rencx> Ademan: but also i want install rarlinux-3.8.0.tar.gz
[12:30] <Ademan> Rencx: rarlinux? is that just rar file support?
[12:30] <Mpole> cwillu: ok, i am in the admin | synaptic | settings | repositories section... what next?
[12:30] <cwillu> Mpole, did it open?
[12:30] <cwillu> Mpole, that's the same page as software sources is
[12:30] <Rencx> Ademan: it is WinRAR
[12:31] <dontknow> hi 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 time
[12:31] <cwillu> Rencx, there's already rar support in the repository, you don't need to install a seperate third party program
[12:31] <Mpole> cwillu: yes, it did open
[12:31] <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] <Rencx> cwillu: i yust want to use WinRAR not rar suport
[12:31] <ays> Rencx as Ademan wrote, you dont need that
[12:32] <Dr_willis> I use winrar.exe in wine all the time
[12:32] <ays> ubunt already can compress and decompress .rar archivs
[12:32] <Dr_willis> :)
[12:32] <fosco_> TelQuel_: mostly sure you are no using emerald, open a terminal and type emerald --replace to use it
[12:32] <ays> but you can natively use winrar in linux based systems
[12:32] <Mpole> cwillu: was told to reload, now it is downloading packages
[12:32] <cwillu> Rencx, why would you want to use expiry nagware when we already have support for it in the standard tools?
[12:32] <ays> mostly due to its first part of the name... WIN
[12:32] <ays> :))
[12:32] <cwillu> Rencx, installing ubuntu-restricted-extras will get pretty much all the standard extras installed
[12:32] <shyam> hai what should be used instead of /etc/modules.conf in ubuntu?
[12:33] <cwillu> Rencx, (mp3, flash, rar, java, etc)
[12:33] <Dr_willis> ays,  i think you missed a  "  can't "  somewhere.. :)
[12:33] <ays> you need, as Dr_willis wrote, use wine or some crossover platform support to use windows based programs
[12:33] <TelQuel_> fosco_, ok that made the terminal box change theme but why didn't the rest? lol
[12:33] <ays> yeah mate... I missed "'t"
[12:33] <Flynsarmy> Is it possible to get ubuntu to automatically switch to a certain resolution when it's on a specific screen? eg when i pluga screen into my laptop and hit fn+lcd it switches from laptops 1440x900 to 1680x1050 for thenew screen?
[12:33] <ays> it 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 su
[12:34] <cwillu> Flynsarmy, not yet, but you can turn on the screen resolution applet which will make it fairly accessible
[12:34] <cwillu> Flynsarmy, system | prefs | screen resolution | "show displays in panel"
[12:34] <Flynsarmy> cwillu, 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 away
[12:34] <Mpole> cwillu: i need to add medibuntu.org as a software source, how do i do that?
[12:34] <cwillu> Flynsarmy, nope :p
[12:34] <cwillu> Mpole, why?
[12:35] <Flynsarmy> cwillu, 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 terminal
[12:35] <fosco_> TelQuel_: when you clse the terminal you close emerald
[12:35] <ays> Flynsarmy better use yours graphic card tool for the res change
[12:35] <cwillu> Flynsarmy, doesn't have 3d accel as far as I know
[12:35] <Stroganoff> Mpole: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repositories
[12:35] <Mpole> cwillu: so that i can download the skype package for ubuntu from medibuntu.org
[12:35] <ezerhoden> TelQuel_: 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 options
[12:35] <Flynsarmy> ays, 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 areboot
[12:35] <cwillu> Flynsarmy, I think nvidia's going to support xrandr soon'ish, so in another 6 months to a year, we might have a better approach
[12:36] <Mpole> Stroganoff: thanks
[12:36] <V^_^V> can you buffer over flow?
[12:36] <cwillu> Mpole, skype has a deb file you can just install, you don't need to set up medibuntu to do that
[12:36] <V^_^V> ÇÑ±¹ÀÎ 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] <cwillu> Mpole, download the deb file from skype, and double click it
[12:36] <fosco_> TelQuel_: there are many ways to do that
[12:37] <fosco_> fusion-icon is one of them
[12:37] <TelQuel_> fosco_, well which way is the easiest? haha.
[12:37] <Rencx> cwillu: ok ty but if i want install Open Office from tar.gz what i need do?
[12:37] <ichat> i install  8.10 on my acer aspire 9303 wsmi  laptop and   sound playback works fine,  - but  there is 2 problems...
[12:37] <ays> TelQuel if its compiz/beryl theme, it can only work while compiz is active
[12:37] <cwillu> Rencx, don't
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[12:37] <Rencx> cwillu: why?
[12:37] <fosco_> TelQuel_: i told you, install and use fusion-icon
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> ichat: wassup
[12:37] <ichat> 1 being that my  build in mic  doens't seem to work  -
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> ichat: does the mic work with any apps at all
[12:38] <ichat> nope -
[12:38] <cwillu> Rencx, go to http://download.openoffice.org/other.html, and use the linux deb
[12:38] <TelQuel_> ok it is installing
[12:38] <ichat> it sais no recording device or so found/
[12:38] <Rencx> cwillu: but for other files
[12:38] <cwillu> Rencx, what other files?
[12:39] <KnOpSy> hello
[12:39] <cwillu> Rencx, 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, etc
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> ichat: 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] <Flynsarmy> cwillu, 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] <slavic> somebody can help me?
[12:39] <TelQuel_> found it
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> !ask  slavic
[12:39] <fosco_> TelQuel_: just try, it is easy
[12:39] <Mpole> Stroganoff: 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 parameters
[12:39] <slavic> i need to add extra layouts at xubuntu keyboard
[12:39] <ays> TelQuel 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 Emerald
[12:39] <Mpole> Stroganoff: what could be wrong?
[12:39] <cwillu> Flynsarmy, no, it should just give you a bigger virtual desktop until you resize it
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> !keyboard| slavic
[12:40]  * ays pokes ActionParsnip
[12:40] <Rencx> cwillu: why i need avoid them? it dangerous?
[12:40] <ays> hello mate o/
[12:40]  * ActionParsnip pokes ays back
[12:40] <cwillu> Mpole, don't use medibuntu, install the deb file from skype like I told you
[12:40] <cwillu> Rencx, 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 properly
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> ichat: what does lspci say your sound card is?
[12:41] <cwillu> Rencx, 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, etc
[12:41] <TelQuel_> fosco_, ok I have the emerald decorations on in compiz fusion but I cannot apply the theme via terminal anymore for whatever reason
[12:41] <Rencx> cwillu: ok so every program must have deb package?
[12:41] <slavic> sorry but editing xorg.conf file didn't help me
[12:41] <slavic> i use xubuntu 8.1 now
[12:41] <cwillu> Rencx, not 'must', but you definately want to use a repository or a deb if you can
[12:42] <Mpole> cwillu: it doesnt work from skype... the connection isnt stable, it breaks... the latest attempt i made reached 1.3 MB, instead of the full package
[12:42] <cwillu> Rencx, there's not much out there that won't have it
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> cwillu: if you compile, you can make a deb out of the generated binary
[12:42] <slavic> any ideas?
[12:42] <cwillu> Mpole, then you've got connection problems, medibuntu won't help you (it's probably the same reason the other won't work)
[12:42] <TelQuel> finally timed out
[12:42] <cwillu> ActionParsnip, feel free to support them in the endeavour of redoing the work that's been done already then :p
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> slavic: did you restart the x server after editting xorg.conf?
[12:42] <b14ck> hey, i just installed kubuntu, whats the command to search for a program via command line?
[12:42] <slavic> yes
[12:43] <TelQuel> fosco_, 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] <ActionParsnip> cwillu: compiling can be done, for newbs its not so advised
[12:43] <slavic> i rebooted my sistem after editing
[12:43] <cwillu> ActionParsnip, it's also pointless when you're 'compiling' software that's already been packaged for your specific distro :p
[12:43] <zamba> is it a way to reveal what options were used when mounting a samba share using gvfs?
[12:43] <fosco_> TelQuel: sorry, it's so obvious to me that i can not find the words to explain it in a better way, just try, it is very easy
[12:43] <b14ck> hey, i just installed kubuntu, whats the command to search for a program via command line?
[12:43] <zamba> i want to make it a permanent, system-wide mount in fstab..
[12:44] <]ObiHann-Kenobi[> find I believe
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> cwillu: not if you want to add or remove extra functionality
[12:44] <]ObiHann-Kenobi[> whereis
[12:44] <]ObiHann-Kenobi[> and locate
[12:44] <ichat> sorry -  nvidio  mpc51 hd audio divice rev a2
[12:44] <b14ck> it isnt find or whereis
[12:44] <b14ck> ...
[12:44] <slavic> i heared that from 8.1 the keyboard layouts are not stored in the xorg.conf file...
[12:44] <b14ck> im looking to see a package that i can install
[12:44] <hwilde> what is the correct 'ubuntu' way to upgrade openoffice from v2.4 to v3.0 ?
[12:44] <b14ck> like apt-get search or something
[12:44] <ichat> nvidia  @
[12:44] <]ObiHann-Kenobi[> oh
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> cwillu: or compile it with a later compiler so it performs better
[12:44] <]ObiHann-Kenobi[> apt-get search
[12:44] <hwilde> b14ck, aptitude search <package>
[12:44] <cwillu> ActionParsnip, 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 system
[12:44] <TelQuel> fosco_, I have compiz running in the userbar up top and everything is on... how do I apply the theme?
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> ichat: can you paste the whole line please
[12:45] <Rencx> cwillu: maybe you now how i can mount iso images?
[12:45] <fosco_> TelQuel: open emerald theme manager and clic on the theme you want
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> cwillu: oh i totally agree, but compiling does have advantages
[12:45] <ichat> commin up
[12:45] <fosco_> that's all
[12:45] <cwillu> ActionParsnip, if there was a big win to be had from that, without causing stability issues, I guarentee ubuntu would already be doing them though
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> cwillu: it does, check out apt-build
[12:45] <cwillu> Rencx, you should be able to directly view them
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> cwillu: it uses deb-src instead of deb
[12:45] <cwillu> ActionParsnip, no, I meant, we'd be using the later compiler :p
[12:45] <TelQuel> fosco_, I click on it and nothing happens.
[12:45] <cwillu> and compiling everything that way in the first place
[12:46] <hwilde> I need to upgrade to openoffice v3.0, what is the right way to do this?
[12:46] <cwillu> ActionParsnip, if you want gentoo, you know where to find it :p
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> cwillu: i already have a gentoo box ;)
[12:46] <Rencx> cwillu not view but run like CD
[12:46] <zamba> hwilde: i wonder about the same
[12:46] <cwillu> Rencx, 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 options
[12:46] <sinan> i 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] <hwilde> zamba, yeah the repos only give v2.4 even with all updates
[12:47] <slavic> there are someone who use xubuntu 8.1 and use 2 or more keyboard layouts?
[12:47] <SiDi> Rencx: you can install Gmountiso to do it graphically (either the command is "sudo mount <file.iso> /media/<mountdirectory> -t iso9660 -o loop")
[12:47] <zamba> hwilde: yup
[12:47] <TelQuel> fosco_, I already switched that to emerald
[12:47] <SiDi> Rencx: you can mount it to /media/cdrom0 and it'll be *exactly* as if it was a CD
[12:47] <zamba> hwilde: you can of course just manually install the packages for 3.0, but i am too looking for the "ubuntu/debian" way of doing it
[12:47] <TelQuel> fosco_, Windows Decorator is set to emerald in compiz fusion
[12:47] <fosco_> TelQuel: maybe that theme is buggy, try any other one
[12:47] <hwilde> zamba, yes that is specifically the question
[12:47] <alcohol> I have made a bookmark to smb://ip/folder
[12:47] <ays> TelQuel, have you imported the theme into Emerald Theme manager?
[12:48] <alcohol> but how can I open said folder in other apps when browsing for it?
[12:48] <zamba> hwilde: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml
[12:48] <ichat_> 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
[12:48] <alcohol> I can't find it anywhere
[12:48] <zamba> hwilde: have you seen that?
[12:48] <cwillu> zamba, hwilde, they have deb files available for download, there's also repositories in launchpad ("ppa")
[12:48] <ichat> thats all i get
[12:48] <Rencx> cwillu: like i have some windows programs on ISO. SiDi ty for advice
[12:48] <TelQuel> fosco_, yeah it's imported and highlighted in emerald theme manager, could be that the theme is designed for an older ubuntu version or something
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> alcohol: you may have to add it in there, if you need the files in other ways, i'd suggest smbmount to mount the smb share
[12:48] <hwilde> cwillu, why dont the ubuntu repos have v3.0
[12:48] <cwillu> hwilde, it was released after ubuntu's last release
[12:48] <zamba> i want to mirror a gvfs mount and make it permanent in /etc/fstab.. how can i do this?
[12:48] <hwilde> zamba, it's easy to just dl the deb but i wonder
[12:49] <alcohol> ActionParsnip: how could I make that mounted on ifup?
[12:49] <zamba> hwilde: the developers didn't have time to test it in time for 8.10
[12:49] <fsancho> hi all
[12:49] <fsancho> hope somebody helps me
[12:49] <hwilde> cwillu, so can I add jaunty-proposed repos and apt-get it that way ?
[12:49] <zamba> hwilde: see the url i gave you
[12:49] <slavic> i found such a info:
[12:49] <slavic> The 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] <cwillu> hwilde, ... no
[12:49] <cwillu> hwilde, that'll just break stuff
[12:49] <TelQuel> fosco_, that was totally it, it would appear the theme is bugged.
[12:49] <zamba> manually installing debs will break stuff, yeah
[12:49] <cwillu> hwilde, "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main" has oo3 packaged, there might be a packport for intrepid eventually
[12:49] <hwilde> cwillu, so there is no repo way to get OO v3.0 ?
[12:49] <zamba> hwilde: again, see the url i posted
[12:49] <fsancho> have intrepid installed in a Dell Latitude D520, and all works ok but Wi-Fi

[12:54] <loabi> ays its opening from terminal.. but not opening manually.. whyz that
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> fsancho: are you hiding SSID?

[12:55] <Rencx> Does anyone now how i can get backgrounds for presentations...
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> fsancho: hmm, try moving towards / away from the AP a little and rescan, just to test
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> Rencx: www.vladstudio.com
[12:55] <tvgv_> whys everyone a dictator if theyknow the answers around here what do ppl get from it
[12:55] <taliakby> i dont know whats the matter to make my farts smll that bad
[12:55] <fsancho> ActionParsnip: I have triyed almost everything
[12:55] <zamba> i need to reveal what smb options gvfs used when mounting a samba share.. how can i do that?
[12:55] <fsancho> *tried
[12:55] <tvgv_> lol
[12:56] <tvgv_> farts i just shhhhiittt myself doing one lol
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> fsancho: what if you reboot the AP
[12:56] <taliakby> my farts dont bother me
[12:56] <cwillu> zamba, gvfs isn't mounting a samba share, gvfs is a replacement for filesystem mounts
[12:56] <zamba> cwillu: ok? so gvfs is a wrapper around something else? like smbmount?
[12:56] <cwillu> zamba, gvfs mounts are accessible through the filesystem at ~/.gvfs/shares/, but that's not at all related to fstab
[12:56] <cwillu> zamba, no, it's not a wrapper
[12:56] <Rencx> ActionParsnip: wallpapers.. how i can insert them in presentation
[12:57] <zamba> cwillu: 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 mount
[12:57] <cwillu> zamba, it's a library for gnome apps to directly use gvfs-accessible locations, not going through the file system
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> Rencx: you could have them as background images
[12:57] <zamba> cwillu: ah, ok
[12:57] <cwillu> zamba, you'd need to look at man mount, looking for cifs and smb
[12:57] <ichat> ActionParsnip:  - lol so im screwed...  and here i was thinkin that my webcam would be THE problem :P
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> Rencx: they are simple jpgs like any other
[12:57] <TelQuel> fosco_, how do I make each window translucent?
[12:57] <zamba> cwillu: yeah, but that just gives me the available options, not the options used by gvfs
[12:57] <cwillu> zamba, gvfs isn't using those options
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> ichat: some are happpily supported
[12:57] <cwillu> zamba, gvfs is not using 'mount' at all
[12:58] <fosco_> TelQuel: this is not a good idea, are you sere?
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> ichat: some cards need weird alsa options
[12:58] <zamba> cwillu: i understand that, but it still has to use something equivalent, right?
[12:58] <Dr_willis> zamba,  gnbome sort of 'browses' the shares - not mounting them.  Lilke cwillu  says
[12:58] <cwillu> zamba, no, it doesn't :p
[12:58] <Rencx> ActionParsnip: yes i understand but how can i set image in open office as background?
[12:58] <cwillu> zamba, it talks directly to the shares
[12:58] <zamba> Dr_willis: it still makes an excellent guess for charsets and permissions
[12:58] <Dr_willis> zamba,  you can easially mount shares manually from the command lines and  via fstab.
[12:58] <TelQuel> fosco_, 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] <zamba> Dr_willis: not with correct permissions and charset, which gvfs makes an excellent job at
[12:58] <Dr_willis> zamba,  when it works... :) ive had it not work quite a bit for me
[12:59] <cwillu> zamba, what gvfs uses internally to connect doesn't help you at all as far as mount and fstab is concerned
[12:59] <Dr_willis> so i manually mount most of my samba shares
[12:59] <ichat> well my sound out works fine - just not the mic - witch would be helpfull for skype :P
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> Rencx: not sure ive not used it past simple typing
[12:59] <zamba> Dr_willis: that's not an option here, since this is to be used by non-tech savvy people :)
[12:59] <fosco_> TelQuel: if you have 2 open windows you'll see nothing
[12:59] <zamba> Dr_willis: the share needs to be there, and it needs to be working
[12:59] <Dr_willis> !info gnomba
[12:59] <Dr_willis> too bad gnomba is no longer around
[12:59] <TelQuel> fosco_, this is roughly what I am trying to emulate: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Die+Hard+4.0+-+Matthew+Farrel%27s+theme+(E?content=66714

[13:00] <pierre_> bjr
[13:00] <fosco_> TelQuel: i can see nothing Content not found
[13:00] <zamba> cwillu: i guess gvfs shares are user specific, or?
[13:01] <TelQuel> fosco_, yeah it hemmed the link...
[13:01] <cwillu> zamba, yes, although I think there's a way to use it + fuse to kinda do what you want, not a great solution though
[13:01] <wetqwiejhtiopqwh> ubuntu vs. mac
[13:01] <wetqwiejhtiopqwh> ?
[13:01] <fosco_> TelQuel: any other image?

[13:02] <ActionParsnip> Rencx: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=2747
[13:02] <zamba> cwillu: the stuff to the left is the smb mount and the stuff to the right is the gvfs mount
[13:02] <Dr_willis> cwillu,  i used the fusesmb (smbfuse?) tool a lot.. but its been REAL flakey in 8.10 :(
[13:02] <cwillu> Dr_willis, gvfs-fuse has been very stable for me
[13:03] <zamba> the gvfs-fuse-daemon is the one that sets up stuff in ~/.gvfs, right?
[13:03] <cwillu> zamba, left, is it smb or cifs you're using?
[13:03] <cwillu> zamba, yes
[13:03] <zamba> cwillu: cifs
[13:03] <Dr_willis> cwillu,  for about 1/2 my machines i have to ente rthe full share path fir it to access them. it will browse to the machine.. but not get the shares On the machine..  which is a bother.
[13:03] <cwillu> zamba, man mount.cifs will give some useful info, I'm still looking through it
[13:03] <zamba> cwillu: specifically i need to figure out the charset used
[13:03] <Cyorxamp> Hey I've a guest account that I only want people logging in to from localhost, so I added this to sshd_config... "DenyUsers guest" and "AllowUsers guest@localhost" -- Only it stops guest from logging in from localhost too!, any ideas?
[13:04] <fosco_> TelQuel: ccsm - opacity
[13:04] <TelQuel> fosco_, ??? haha.
[13:04] <zamba> cwillu: how do i know what charset is being used at the other side? gvfs looks to be magically figuring that out
[13:04] <hwilde> Cyorxamp, you don't want to Deny users guest
[13:05] <Cyorxamp> hwilde, I don't want 'guest' logging in from anywhere but localhost
[13:05] <TelQuel> fosco_, what is ccsm?
[13:05] <hwilde> Cyorxamp, you want to Deny  guest@*   and then Allow guest@localhost
[13:05] <Cyorxamp> hwilde, ah I see... one sec
[13:05] <Dr_willis> sshing in from localhost? :)
[13:06] <hwilde> Cyorxamp, or something like  guest@*!localhost     but I am unsure about the syntax.  ! is not
[13:06] <zamba> TelQuel: compizconfig settings manager
[13:06] <fosco_> TelQuel: the compiz configurator
[13:06] <Cyorxamp> hwilde, using guest@* didn't work either
[13:07] <TelQuel> fosco_, when I right click on the compfiz icon I do not see that option
[13:07] <fosco_> TelQuel: sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm, and you'll see it
[13:08] <cwillu> zamba, still reading
[13:08] <komputes> Does vino have a log file?
[13:08] <hwilde> Cyorxamp, take out the deny and just do   AllowUsers guest@localhost
[13:09] <Cyorxamp> hwilde, that -that- works :D
[13:09] <Cyorxamp> hwilde, you'd think it'd be deny first, allow after
[13:09] <hwilde> Cyorxamp, everyone not in Allow will be denied by default
[13:09] <Cyorxamp> hwilde, right
[13:09] <cwillu> zamba, where are you from?
[13:10] <cwillu> (gonna try to look up the charset)
[13:10] <ronny> hi
[13:10] <HAnkok> Buenas
[13:10] <ronny> anyone knows whats up with /etc/resolv.conf - some scripts from ifup/ifdown complain its not a symlink - this seems rather confusing
[13:10] <HAnkok> Alguien ha utilizado Shorewall?
[13:11] <SiDi> !es @ HAnkok
[13:11] <ubuntu_is_dabest> what is the terminal server for ubuntu?
[13:11] <SiDi> HAnkok: #ubuntu-es
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> ronny: can you pastebin the command and complete error
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_is_dabest: like terminal services in windows?
[13:11] <ubuntu_is_dabest> yes
[13:11] <TelQuel> fosco_, wowzers ... this is so amazingly customizable. People must spend forever getting their desktop just right.
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_is_dabest: you could vnc over ssh tunnel
[13:11] <fosco_> TelQuel: yes
[13:12] <HAnkok> thanks
[13:12] <ubuntu_is_dabest> how?
[13:12] <TelQuel> fosco_, as cool as this can look I feel like I prefer a simpler layout in truth.
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> !info xrdp
[13:12] <zamba> cwillu: norway
[13:12] <zamba> cwillu: but i want to use utf-8
[13:13] <ubuntu_is_dabest> i see, but what if i need terminal for it?
[13:13] <zamba> cwillu: we're done with iso-8859-1 :)
[13:13] <balony> OK, 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] <cwillu> zamba, you have to use whatever encoding the server is using though
[13:14] <Mpole> ActionParsnip: 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] <cwillu> zamba, this is the encoding used to convert to unicode, getting it wrong doesn't make it magically work
[13:14] <zamba> cwillu: how can i figure out what charset's being used by the server?
[13:14] <cwillu> zamba, no real idea, there might be a control panel thingy that'll tell you
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> Mpole: break it down instead
[13:14] <eni> can someone help me with alsa
[13:14] <eni> i ruined!!
[13:14] <ronny> ActionParsnip: http://dpaste.com/113105/
[13:15] <Mpole> ActionParsnip: first error begins with wget
[13:15] <cwillu> zamba, ##windows will probably be more helpful for that (I'm presuming you're not running a winxp/vista system, as they'd be using unicode here)
[13:15] <kwesi> hello

[13:15] <kwesi> I am running ubuntu
[13:15] <cwillu> Mpole, because your internet connection is flaky.
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> Mpole:  cd ~/;wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list; sudo mv ~/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[13:15] <eni> but on 8.10
[13:15] <teniser> Which messenger is best (no Pidgin, amsn or emesene,please)?
[13:15] <kwesi> need help with crossover
[13:15] <SiDi> kwesi: you should ask your question directly
[13:15] <cwillu> ActionParsnip, he's been having grief with any download, he just isn't telling you that :(
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> Mpole: if the file isnt there, the wget will fail, check the file you are wgetting
[13:16] <ays> anyone here have any experience with core 2 extreme cpu and ubuntu?
[13:16] <cwillu> zamba, wait, the server is running linux as well?
[13:16] <zamba> cwillu: yessir
[13:16] <SiDi> kwesi: for help with crossover, i think CodeWeavers should provide direct support
[13:16] <cwillu> zamba, okay, relevant information here :p
[13:16] <zamba> cwillu: hehe, sorry about that
[13:16] <eni> when i want to open hdspmixer :  overflow-errors
[13:16] <cwillu> zamba, pastebin your server's samba config
[13:16] <kwesi> Sidi: Thanks
[13:16] <cwillu> !pastebin | zamba
[13:17] <SiDi> kwesi: what is your question with crossover?
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> ronny: my resolv.conf is ascii text, you could rename it then create a symlink to the file just to entertain it
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> Mpole: does: wget www.bbc.co.uk work?
[13:18] <Mpole> ActionParsnip: it was just a small typo... it went well... thanks
[13:18] <cwillu> zamba, as far as I can tell, samba should be using unicode on the server unless you've overridden it
[13:18] <eni> help me!!
[13:18] <heftig> i'm looking for a file synchronization tool for gnome. i miss windows' "offline files and folders". i need to synchronize with a windows share. unison doesn't recode filenames. rsync doesn't do two-way sync.
[13:18] <Mpole> ActionParsnip: should it?
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> Mpole: yeah it will download index.html
[13:18] <TelQuel> fosco_, I don't get exactly how opacity settings work in the ccsm, you have to adjust each part of the window separately?
[13:19] <zamba> cwillu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109790/
[13:19] <zamba> Cwiiis: you see there i've flirted with the iso-8859-1 charset earlier, but that has been commented out
[13:19] <fosco_> TelQuel: no, entire window is set

[13:19] <ActionParsnip> Mpole: my way first downloads the file, then moves it, rather than telling wget to download and put it someplace else, uses simpler commands so you know its good :)
[13:19] <TelQuel> fosco_, ok that's under general settings opacity?
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> ronny: im not sure at all, its very strange. What release of ubuntu are you using?
[13:19] <cwillu> zamba, I'm not Cwiiis, and he's sick of people highlighting him by mistake :p
[13:20] <ronny> ActionParsnip: intrepid
[13:20] <zamba> hehe
[13:20] <utonto> hi
[13:20] <zamba> honest mistake :)
[13:20] <ronny> ActionParsnip: tough its distupgraded all the way up from 7.10
[13:20] <cwillu> zamba, cw<tab><tab> :p
[13:20] <SiDi> kwesi: since you don't seem to want to ask your question here, you can also try the unofficial channel #crossover, or the ticket submission system of Codeweavers (see their website)
[13:20] <fosco_> TelQuel: compiz has one million options, just spend some time trying

[13:21] <ethan_hunt> LUFS
[13:21] <zamba> cwillu: it's*
[13:21] <ethan_hunt> aber das gibt es wohl nicht mehr in ubuntu 8.10?
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> ronny: that'll rename the file and create the symlink that the scripts seem so desperatly to need
[13:21] <SiDi> ethan_hunt : #ubuntu-de
[13:21] <Cwiiis> cwillu: Ah, I'm used to it now - it's probably more annoying for you really :s
[13:22] <eni> noboody knows something about my problem?
[13:22] <ronny> ActionParsnip: well, i hoped i could avoid that
[13:22] <ethan_hunt> sidewalk, thanx
[13:22] <cwillu> Cwiiis, some day, one of us is going to change nicks, and the other is going to feel sad :p
[13:22] <Cwiiis> cwillu: hehe, aww :)
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> ronny: it keeps it happy, doesnt take up any hdd space
[13:22] <eni> dont't ignore me i'ts important!!
[13:23] <Dr_willis> eni,  you want everyone to say 'i dont know' ?
[13:23] <eni> mmm
[13:23] <Pici> eni: You need to restate your problem and use a pastebin for the error

[13:24] <eni> o tkanks a im very new to irc
[13:24] <Pici> !requirements | Coolkid
[13:24] <Dr_willis> Coolkid,  i would say at least a few gb.. depends on your needs..
[13:25] <SiDi> Coolkid: 10GB will always be enough, but if you intend to install software or put huge docs (especially games, i got tons of gb's of games here :o), you should take more
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> Coolkid: this doesnt leave much room for furure apps though
[13:25] <Dr_willis> I got over 10gb in Wallpapers :)
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: question is..why?
[13:26] <eni> my error is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/109792/
[13:26] <cwillu> zamba, sorry, I'm really not sure what's going on there.  the log files might give you some clue though (look for the connection attempts for gvfs, and for the regular mount, and see if they're saying anything different re: charset)

[13:27] <Coolkid> SiDi: we can store the file in other partitions right? well,  i take it as 10GB for ubuntu
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: haha nice
[13:27] <cwillu> zamba, something that will become evident when you ls the directory :p
[13:27] <SiDi> Coolkid: you can, yeh
[13:27] <Coolkid> and which is preffered filesystem for ubuntu?
[13:27] <zamba> cwillu: it's HUGE :)
[13:28] <cwillu> zamba, I _think_ it's the ip or host of the machine that connected, but I don't know for sure
[13:28] <zamba> cwillu: 730 log files
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> Coolkid: id give 10Gb to / 2Gb to /swap and the rest to home for user files
[13:28] <eni> someone knows about alsa? http://paste.ubuntu.com/109792/
[13:28] <zamba> cwillu: oki
[13:28] <zamba> cwillu: then i got it
[13:28] <SiDi> Coolkid: i personally have a big FAT32 partition for windoz software, and a big ext3 one for all my docs (i don't use my docs under windoz tho), and my system partitions are both 20gb
[13:28] <SiDi> Coolkid: though my laptop got 250gb of ext3 partitions and 0.00000gb of fat/ntfs ones :D
[13:29] <Mpole> ActionParsnip: will sudo apt-get install skype work ? if not, why? and how do i make it work?
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> SiDi: same here except on my work lappy which is xp, the rest are various linuxes
[13:29] <Coolkid> is there any performance penalty depending on filesystem?
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> !skype | Mpole
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> Coolkid: if you put swap on a different pysical disk you can gain some speed if its used
[13:30] <lohoy> hi.........
[13:30] <SiDi> ActionParsnip: got windows only for games with crappy fps under wine :P
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> Coolkid: swap is used a bit like pagefile.sys in windows
[13:30] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: better if it's on a separate interface too ;-)
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: lots
[13:31] <SiDi> Coolkid: swap is optional... i didn't put swap on the laptop, i'm ok with 4gb ram (and no swap = less disk read/write access)
[13:31] <Coolkid> aaha, i need to go with swap, RAM is only 512MB
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: hmm, could get a 32gb SATA SolidState HDD and use it all as swap, get 1Gb ram. could be nice
[13:31] <jpds> SiDi: Can you hibernate?
[13:33] <eni> helm me with alsa !! http://paste.ubuntu.com/109792/
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> eni: if it started when you compiled alsa, i'd review that
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: 530 USD for 32Gb RAM?
[13:34] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: I used to use a dual-DMA IDE controller - DMA on *both* channels - with an 84MB swap drive and 48MB of RAM ;-)
[13:35] <SiDi> jpds: i don't use hibernate, i just suspend the lappy. But swap is compulsory for hibernating (you need at least the same amount of swap for hibernation)
[13:35] <gordonjcp> having the swap drive on its own DMA controller with no contention did actually speed things up quite a bit, particularly on large compiles
[13:35] <jpds> SiDi: I know, that's why I'm asking :)
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: but with sata + SSD access times...
[13:36] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: that *is* MB not GB ;-)
[13:36] <SiDi> ActionParsnip: let me doubt you can read/write on your HDD as fast as on some DDR2/3 ram :D
[13:36] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: this was about 10-11 years ago...
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: oh ive seen some low end stuff. Ive seen a PC about 1' x 1' and it was 8K RAM
[13:37] <eni> jeah it startet wit compibling!!
[13:37] <eni> how i can it turn back?
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> eni:read your readme in the alsa source, or install the deb from repos
[13:38] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: I'm currently hacking on microcontrollers, some of which have 16 bytes of RAM and 256 bytes of flash
[13:38] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: and people ask why I still bother with assembler...
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> its fast
[13:39] <Dr_willis> I recall a 1 inch CUBE minimini pc a few years back
[13:39] <minche> what is the new line symbol in open office?
[13:39] <gordonjcp> ActionParsnip: well you show a Comp Sci grad that and they go "ZOMG OH NOES HOW DOES THE JVM FIT?!!?"
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> oh i know, its funny
[13:40] <SiDi> minche: what do you mean ?
[13:40] <miller7> hello, I'm a new ubuntu user. I have installed 8.04 (an application I have needs this one). So I want to upgrade sshd to latest version possible. Can someone *please* tell me how to do that. I'm struggling for 2 hours with backports but still version I have is not latest (I think) so I get some problems connecting to sshd
[13:40] <Pici> !ot
[13:40] <gordonjcp> woohoo, I'm running Jaunty!
[13:40] <gordonjcp> time to reinstall ;-)
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> miller7: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> miller7: oops
[13:40] <minche> wheni oped some .txt file and it is has all those new-lines and paragraphs, what do i type in search /replace field to replace them :/
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> miller7: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[13:40] <miller7> ActionParsnip: It says I have the latest version
[13:40] <minche> *find/replace
[13:41] <SiDi> miller7: which version do you need ? i think you can enable the ppa repository in order to get the very latest one (it should be somewhere in launchpad.net)
[13:41] <muzanaka> Hi, people!!!
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> miller7: then you have the latest version
[13:41] <Dr_willis> miller7,  theres 'latest version that EXISTS' then theres 'latest version thats in the repositories'
[13:41] <miller7> SiDi: I want an sshd version that runs on vserver guest :(
[13:42] <miller7> sorry guys, I'm all new to ubuntu and repositories. I added security and updates and backports
[13:42] <Andy_> hi I use xubuntu 8.04 LTS and I want to upgrade to 8.10 without the net as I can't reply on the connection, I have the live CD anyway to update from that? or is there a xubuntu 8.10 alt CD out? if yes can anyone link me to a seeded torrent?
[13:42] <dayo_> !d
[13:42] <dayo_> !de
[13:42] <muzanaka> why I can not enter #ubuntu-ru?
[13:42] <minche> :/
[13:42] <eni> ActionParsnip: the readme is very short and nothing about that
[13:42] <muzanaka> !тмшвшф
[13:42] <muzanaka> !nvidia
[13:42] <jrib> muzanaka: /join #ubuntu-ru          to enter
[13:42] <Andy_> !alt
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> eni: i'd ask in #alsa if it exists
[13:43] <TelQuel> heh
[13:43] <Coolkid> do we have *wine* bundled in the ubuntu live disk?
[13:43] <cwillu> Coolkid, no
[13:43] <miller7> SiDi: can I install sshd 5 in ubuntu 8.04?
[13:43] <Coolkid> from where can i download and install wine?
[13:43] <cwillu> Coolkid, apt-get install wine?
[13:43] <Andy_> I mean anyone got XUBUNTU not ubuntu, guess I am in the wrong chat room..?
[13:43] <cwillu> !xubuntu
[13:43] <Dr_willis> Andy_,  lots of people in here use xubuntu also.
[13:44] <jrib> muzanaka: oh, but they've banned 91.145.* .  Join me in #ubuntu-irc please.  I'll see if any op there is around and ask him to talk to you there.  OK?
[13:44] <TeePOG> Andy_: it's more or less the same thing, it just has a different desktop environment
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> Andy_: its supported here, ask your question
[13:44] <Andy_> ah okay thank you but I tried searching mininova for xubuntu 8.10 alt CD but in vain
[13:44] <SiDi> miller7: so your ubuntu is installed as a vm ? what is the problem you have with the current openssh-server, why do you think a newer one would solve the prob ?
[13:44] <Andy_> and I am going with xubuntu cause well....in lay mans terms my PC is a low end one
[13:44] <Dr_willis> Andy_,   theres official ubuntu downloade sites with torrents to it - i recall.. or try the xubuntu homepage
[13:45] <cwillu> miller7, it's not available in the standard repo's
[13:45] <SiDi> Coolkid: you can install it as any application
[13:45] <muzanaka> jrib: I cann't understand why!
[13:45] <SiDi> http://www.winehq.org/download/deb Coolkid for the latest version
[13:45] <Andy_> Dr_willis, I tried that I cound find any link to download the 8.10 alt version, if possible can you link me?
[13:45] <cwillu> !alt
[13:46] <Andy_> thats ubuntu alt..i want xubuntu alt..
[13:46] <miller7> SiDi: my problem is that I edited and removed OOM reference from init.d, so sshd starts now. But when I connect to it I get "fatal: chroot("/var/run/sshd"): Operation not permitted". I assume latest version will fix it since debian lenny sshd works fine on same box (as VM also)
[13:46]  * dsdeiz PsyBNC for sale.. PM me for details..
[13:46] <TelQuel> how do I get back to just regular themes?
[13:47] <Dr_willis> Andy_,  alterntive verion of xubuntu? that may or may not  exist..   i normally just install ubuntu  and then apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[13:47] <TelQuel> where can I find regular non-enhanced ubuntu themes? not emerald etc
[13:47] <cwillu> Andy_, go to xubuntu.com, and follow the links, it's listed prominently
[13:47] <Andy_> Dr_wills, that will work with 190 MB ram?
[13:47] <SiDi> dsdeiz: this isn't #shopping, it's #ubuntu
[13:47] <Dr_willis> Andy_,  Ive ran it on less. :)
[13:47] <Andy_> Dr_wills, thank you very much
[13:48] <Andy_> !alt
[13:48] <cwillu> Andy_, click a nearby mirror, and then click on the alternate download
[13:48] <SiDi> miller7: i don't know what to say :/ you should just have to install openssh-server and its meant 1) to work | 2) to launch automatically
[13:48] <cwillu> Andy_, http://xubuntu.com/get
[13:48] <dsdeiz> oh mehn! sorry about that!
[13:48] <Andy_> Thank you everyone
[13:48] <TelQuel> fosco_, hey is it possible to reset defaults on themes?
[13:48] <fosco_> TelQuel: emerald theme?
[13:48] <utonto> bye
[13:48] <miller7> SiDi: I know :( but it does not so I'm trying to see if 5.1 version will work like in Debian
[13:48] <Dr_willis> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/8.10/release/
[13:48] <SiDi> TelQuel: the default themes are in /usr/share/themes
[13:48] <eni> ActionParsnip: and how i can install from the deb-source
[13:49] <Dr_willis> but he left...
[13:49] <miller7> This one in Lenny works fine: OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007
[13:49] <TelQuel> fosco_, nah just plain old ubuntu ones... right now I'm feeling like although the fancier emerald themes look cooler they are not very functional.
[13:49] <fosco_> TelQuel: fusion-icon, use gtk-window-decorator
[13:50] <SiDi> miller7: you should try to find the openssh's dev team's website, they'll have sources of the latest version
[13:50] <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] <SiDi> miller7: or you can try to install the debian's deb in ubuntu but i REALLY don't guarantee the result xD
[13:50] <cwillu> guido_, use an alternate cd
[13:50] <SiDi> guido_: you can try the alternate CD for text mode
[13:50] <cwillu> !alternate guido_
[13:51] <cwillu> !alt | guido_
[13:51] <eni> linux+special hardware=you are screwed!
[13:51] <miller7> SiDi: I don't know how to install the debian's deb... just download the deb file and do dpkg to it?
[13:51] <miller7> I come from Gentoo where I just compiled everything via emerge
[13:51] <guido_> ok thank you cwillu
[13:52] <SiDi> miller7: with gdebi you can install a .deb by double clicking it:p
[13:52] <adam_> miller7: apt-get install
[13:52] <adam_> miller7: apt-cache search
[13:52] <adam_> on end packet name
[13:52] <TelQuel> fosco_, yeah that's good so far but it still has all the weird effects from compiz fusion
[13:52] <SiDi> eni : it's linux + bad hardware constructors, actually
[13:52] <adam_> miller7: and look on google /etc/apt/source.list
[13:52] <adam_> and dowload some good
[13:53] <fosco_> TelQuel: so, yo DO NOT want to use compiz at all?
[13:53] <Pici> adam_: Thats not helpful, hes tring to install a plain .deb
[13:53] <cwillu> fosco_, prefs | appearances | effects | set to none
[13:53] <TelQuel> fosco_, for the time being, I just don't find that the effects add much for me right now and they make it harder to navagate
[13:53] <cwillu> TelQuel, ^^^ (sorry)
[13:53] <miller7> adam_: Good is very wide term since I've seen many repository lists that were not that good to install (I think)
[13:53] <miller7> meaning they were screwing up the system
[13:53] <jimcooncat> I'm looking for documentation on migrating users, groups, and home directories from one Ubuntu computer to another. Anything automated or helper apps out there?
[13:54] <Pici> miller7: Packages made for debian may or may not install properly on Ubuntu, we cannot support those here.
[13:54] <miller7> Pici: yes, I understand
[13:54] <fosco_> TelQuel: fusion-icon - select window manager - metacity
[13:54] <Dr_willis> fusion-icon is handy :)
[13:55] <TelQuel> ok cool, sometime when I have more time I will work on getting a nicer look together. I want something pretty simple you know/
[13:55] <adam_> please check
[13:55] <adam_> nmap -T Aggressive -sV -n -O -v 31337.dyndns.org
[13:55] <adam_> and past me reasult
[13:55] <Siroy> Hi all, I dont know what the protocol is or so ever, but I have a problem with some programs that close unexpected. Could you help me?
[13:56] <inet> +i
[13:56] <jimcooncat> Siroy, just give us more detail
[13:56] <TelQuel> what's another good site for emerald themes?
[13:57] <TelQuel> apart from gnome-look
[13:57] <mmm4m5m> Hi. Question: How to check if my CPU is 64 or 32 bits (sorry for my dummy question)?
[13:57] <Siroy> Oke, thank you! I run the programms transmission and amule. The work for a while and then they close instandly whitout any reason. I work whit ubuntu 8.10
[13:58] <eni> no i use professional audio-hardware
[13:58] <zaggynl> mmm4m5m: sudo cat /proc/cpuinfo , copy paste it to pastebin.com
[13:58] <mmm4m5m> zaggynl: http://pastebin.ca/1318556
[13:59] <jessie> mmm4m5m: it's 64 bit.
[13:59] <mmm4m5m> :)) perfect, thank you :)
[13:59] <Siroy> And when I use system monitor I starts and after 2 seconds it closes
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> mmm4m5m: you are running a cor2duo E8400
[13:59] <zaggynl> core 2 duo, yes it is
[13:59] <jessie> mmm4m5m: you can however, install 32 bit software on it.
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> mmm4m5m: which, as jessie says, is 64bit
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> mmm4m5m: you CAN run a 32bit OS on it if you want, if you have+3Gb ram, get the 64bit OS
[14:00] <rabbit64> In .gconf settings, where does the panel/{applet_name}_screen0 come from?
[14:00] <mmm4m5m> jessie: I have ubuntu gutsy 32 but 4 gb ram, that why start reading
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> mmm4m5m: 32bit only reads 3.2Gb RAM effective, depends if you want to reinstall
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> mmm4m5m: and what you use your pc for
[14:01] <mmm4m5m> thank you all for help. Have to consider more do I need 64bits with 4GB or not
[14:02] <mmm4m5m> ActionParsnip: home PC but with virtual machines
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> mmm4m5m: id go 64bit with Vms
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> mmm4m5m: you could try it a while, see which you think runs better
[14:02] <mmm4m5m> ActionParsnip: not good with linux, want to skip additional issues with 64bits software... that is my concern
[14:03] <fosco_> mmm4m5m: no special issues
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> mmm4m5m: no issues especially, could get another HDD in and try it
[14:04] <prabha1989> hi guys i got one serious prob help me

[14:32] <CompactDstrxion> cobra_fast could you try disabling the driver in the manager then enabling it again purely through the manager?
[14:32] <Yamikuronue> After I select a certificate in Network Connections it forgets that I told it to use one, the setting won't keep. Any ideas?
[14:32] <vlt> Photoguy: Can't find anything behind your link.
[14:32] <Cobra_Fast> CompactDstrxion , im using Xinerama to use my two screens as a big desktop, i edited the Xorg.conf for that
[14:32] <CompactDstrxion> whenever ive installed binary drivers i have only ever used the manager not synaptics
[14:32] <CompactDstrxion> oh right

[14:43] <changingnicksiss> why is my writer not working with ubuntu???
[14:43] <laeg> !scandisk
[14:43] <odzk> i see

[14:43] <odzk> what should i put on the xorg.conf

[15:09] <jtaji> !virus | maverick340
[15:09] <maverick340> for one thing i know, linux doesnt autorun and doesnt have any system of executable files
[15:09] <pyfg> but can I have gnome without every possible gnome program?
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> dalekleader: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=188860
[15:09] <maverick340> thanks , you guys are great :-)
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> pyfg: sure
[15:09] <pyfg> does that take lots of typing?
[15:11] <oCean_> alcohol: rdp client?
[15:11] <alcohol> yeah just found gnome-rdp
[15:11] <alcohol> gonne give that a shot
[15:11] <oCean_> !rdesktop | alcohol
[15:11] <oCean_> !info rdesktop | alcohol
[15:12] <GNUtoo> ActionParsnip, there is a problem with this approach...I don't know how to boot from the internal loop file...
[15:12] <pyfg> if i have only gdm installed should login still work fine?
[15:12] <pyfg> im getting errors
[15:12] <oCean_> alcohol: sure, gnome rdp is fine too. (see also Applications > Internet > Term.serv. client)
[15:12] <GNUtoo> ActionParsnip, i need the usb stick formatted as ext3 and use a kernel from the internal hdd...
[15:12] <GNUtoo> ActionParsnip, cause my computer doesns't boot from usb...
[15:13] <GNUtoo> ActionParsnip, and I only want apt-get cause I don't plan to install ubuntu but restore a backup with tar
[15:13] <Arrick> hey, through terminal, how do I tell what user apache2 is using?
[15:13] <Arrick> (I installed using tasksel lamp-server)
[15:13] <GNUtoo> Arrick, mabe ps -aux
[15:13] <pyfg> "only gdm"  = debootstrap + apt-get install gdm
[15:14] <ryanprior> My notification area says "1 file operation active", but that file operation has hung. How can I cancel it?
[15:15] <oCean_> Arrick: the ps command (various options) shows you list of running processes. Try running "ps axuww | grep -i apache" The owner of the process is in first column
[15:15] <Arrick> thanks oCean_
[15:15] <badserii> Hi! I want to see how much time in seconds does it take for w3m to load a page from localhost. Is there a utility that counts duration of execution? Or is it possible for the prompt to show the time when command executed?
[15:15] <GNUtoo> hello? anyone?
[15:16] <Arrick> ok, chown -R www-data /path/tp/dir would be the syntax to change a directory ownership right?
[15:16] <ryanprior> badserii: man time
[15:16] <oCean_> badserii: the "time" command will from cli
[15:16] <GNUtoo> if no-one can help I'll reboot on a livecd on my desktop computer and try to install ubuntu on the usb stick
[15:16] <ryanprior> !patience | GNUtoo
[15:16] <noon> I used $sudo update-rc.d -f rtorrent remove, but it still appears in /etc/init.d/, am I doing something wrong?
[15:16] <GNUtoo> ubottu, I know that...
[15:17] <ryanprior> GNUtoo: Not exactly the bot tip I wanted.
[15:17] <oCean_> Arrick: yes. Depending on desired result it might be necessary to not only change the ownership (user) but group also.. that would be "chown -R apache-www:apache-www /path/to/dir"
[15:17] <badserii> oCean_: thank you!
[15:17] <ryanprior> GNUtoo: I forget which one was the useful one, but you should be patient and ask your question again every 5-10 minutes. People pop in and out of the channel and perseverance will pay off.
[15:18] <GNUtoo> ryanprior, the problem is that I have to restore a backup and it takes time...
[15:18] <ryanprior> GNUtoo: Ubottu is a channel bot, he responded to you because I told him to. :-)
[15:18] <GNUtoo> ryanprior, yes I know
[15:18] <GNUtoo> ryanprior, ah oops I responded to the bot
[15:18] <GNUtoo> sorry
[15:19] <GNUtoo> ryanprior, i'll try what I told...
[15:19] <pyfg> is gnome-session the way if i want no login manager
[15:19] <GNUtoo> i'll be back as soon as i've rebooted
[15:19] <gordonjcp> : What exactly are you trying to do?
[15:19] <GNUtoo> ryanprior, thanks
[15:19] <gordonjcp> GNUtoo: What exactly are you trying to do?
[15:20] <GNUtoo> gordonjcp, i need to restore a tar backup containing a GNU/Linux system...and for that I need to boot on some livecd with apt inside(need some module and uttilities)
[15:20] <robot_jesus> I have compiz fusion installed but none of the effects are working, how do i check the metacity(?) is not my window manager and make compiz the wm
[15:20] <GNUtoo> gordonjcp, but my cdrom doesn't work anymore
[15:20] <GNUtoo> gordonjcp, and I can't boot from usb
[15:20] <tyler_d1> so I created a directory /media/SHARE on the client machine, and installed sshfs on the host machine. When I do sshfs user@host:/path/to/mount /media/SHARE on the client machine I am unable to browse to this share ??
[15:20] <ryanprior> GNUtoo: can you grab a friend's CD rom drive?
[15:20] <GNUtoo> gordonjcp, but I can copy files to the hdd
[15:20] <GNUtoo> ryanprior, on a laptop?
[15:20] <gordonjcp> GNUtoo: so you need to boot a system, to untar another system?
[15:20] <GNUtoo> gordonjcp, yes
[15:21] <GNUtoo> gordonjcp, I lost my LUKS header so I have to restore my backup
[15:21] <gordonjcp> GNUtoo: are you just trying to get at the files in the tarball, or does it need to be a working system?
[15:21] <FRC> what about using the backtrack KDE live cd
[15:21] <ryanprior> GNUtoo: If you're okay with popping your laptop open, you should be able to just plug it into the SATA slot on the hard drive. If your laptop is still under warranty, might wanna think twice about it
[15:21] <GNUtoo> gordonjcp, i need the following things: mdadm,cryptsetup and some kernel modules...
[15:21] <noon> I used $sudo update-rc.d -f rtorrent remove, but it still appears in /etc/init.d/, am I doing something wrong?
[15:22] <gordonjcp> GNUtoo: why do you need those?
[15:22] <GNUtoo> ryanprior, mmm...i've only one sata cable and 2 hdds
[15:22] <ryanprior> noon: No, that is not wrong.
[15:22] <GNUtoo> gordonjcp, cause I encrypt my filesystem
[15:22] <ryanprior> noon: update-rc.d removes it from the startup process, but the scripts are still there in case you want to reinstate them.
[15:22] <Gnea> GNUtoo: do you have a lan?
[15:22] <gordonjcp> GNUtoo: okay, does the tarball contain an image of an encrypted filesystem?
[15:22] <noon> ryanprior, i see. is there anywhere to view the startup process?
[15:22] <GNUtoo> Gnea, yes and NFS server where the backup lies
[15:23] <ryanprior> noon: Yes, there is, but I forget what it is offhand. Read the man pages.
[15:23] <GNUtoo> gordonjcp, no image of unencrypted system
[15:23] <noon> ryanprior, ok thanks
[15:23] <Gnea> GNUtoo: okay, so why not netboot the laptop from the NFS server?
[15:23] <gordonjcp> GNUtoo: okay
[15:23] <paulo39> does skype runs in ubuntu?
[15:23] <ryanprior> paulo39: Yes.
[15:23] <Gnea> !skype | paulo39
[15:23] <GNUtoo> Gnea, is it complicated?
[15:23] <gordonjcp> GNUtoo: so what's stopping you just untarring the tarball?
[15:23] <Gnea> GNUtoo: it's a challenge, but not impossible
[15:23] <Gnea> !netboot | GNUtoo
[15:24] <GNUtoo> gordonjcp, when I use ubuntu's livecd I can untar a part but at a point the livecd hang with I/O  errors
[15:24] <Necrosan> boobuntu.
[15:24] <fabio123> do you know Bepe Grillo ?
[15:24] <fabio123> Firefox sucks now
[15:24] <Necrosan> Gnea: you sure got the ubottu system down. You are a pro.
[15:24] <GNUtoo> Gnea, thanks a lot
[15:24] <gordonjcp> GNUtoo: I'm not sure I understand
[15:24] <paulo39> thanks ppl
[15:24] <fabio123> go here: http://www.beppegrillo.it/
[15:24] <gordonjcp> GNUtoo: do you have a working system *at all*?
[15:24] <Gnea> GNUtoo: good luck
[15:24] <fabio123> then select the italian flag
[15:25] <GNUtoo> gordonjcp, on the laptop not anymore but I've a Desktop that works
[15:25] <GNUtoo> Gnea, thanks
[15:25] <Gnea> Necrosan: ...
[15:25] <bullgard4> ':~$ uname -r; 2.6.24-23-generic'. /boot/config-~generic includes a line CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK=y. What does 'NETLINK' mean?
[15:25] <oCean_> fabio123: it's not the site, it's not firefox.. I have no problem at all. Maybe it's your plugins
[15:25] <gordonjcp> GNUtoo: so untar the filesystem on your desktop machine, and get the bits you want out
[15:25] <majnoon> !ot
[15:26] <GNUtoo> gordonjcp, the problem is that the tarball is a complete distro backup...so I need all bits
[15:26] <GNUtoo> gordonjcp, ~200GB
[15:27] <fabio123> click on the video : io so
[15:27] <fabio123> your Firefox will crash
[15:27] <fabio123> but go there: http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.80.swf?vid=1095107 and everything is fine
[15:27] <oCean_> fabio123: no, not here. The problem is in your plugins
[15:28] <GNUtoo> thanks a lot I'll reboot my desktop on a livecd and I'll be back
[15:28] <fabio123> i have only the flash plugin installed
[15:28] <GNUtoo> soon
[15:28] <ryanprior> My notification area says "1 file operation active", but that file operation has hung. How can I cancel it?
[15:29] <oCean_> fabio123: there are many flash plugins
[15:29] <fosco_> ryanakca: alt+f2 and type killall -1 nautilus (make sure there are no other file operations)
[15:29] <fabio123> ii  flashplugin-nonfree           10.0.12.36ubuntu1
[15:29] <Necrosan> With the alternate install cd (8.10) is there any way I can install from the net with it?
[15:29] <danishjordan> Necrosan: No.
[15:30] <Necrosan> CD drive is flakey in the machine, and startup-tasks reports to be bad every time it tries to copy it.
[15:30] <Necrosan> That's pretty lame.
[15:30] <danishjordan> Necrosan: Try finding a way to do it from a USB flash drive.
[15:30] <ryanprior> Necrosan: does checking the disc integrity show a positive result?
[15:31] <oCean_> fabio123: I use that too. See "ls -al /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin" if it actually points to the /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
[15:31] <fabio123> yes.
[15:31] <fabio123> your browser will crash: try this www.tim.it
[15:32] <oCean_> fabio123: no it does NOT crash
[15:32] <Photoguy> fabio123 not me
[15:32] <ferdostar> Hi guys, I have one question: is it possible that xorg change after every restart. In other words is xorg changing after restart or it's constant until we changed it?
[15:33] <Necrosan> danishjordan: it's a sparc system
[15:33] <fabio123> so i'm the only one.
[15:33] <Necrosan> ryanprior: disc is fine
[15:33] <nbuntu> hey - could someone  help me with gnome-do?
[15:33] <Jack_Sparrow> ferdostar xorg will change to failsafe if there is a problem
[15:33] <Necrosan> the drive is a piece of crap. Never have I owned a good SCSI cdrom.
[15:33] <Necrosan> All of them suck.
[15:33] <ferdostar> Jack_Sparrow thanks :)
[15:33] <nbuntu> hey
[15:34] <nbuntu> gnome-do no longer finds my apps after it was recently upgraded - anyone know why?
[15:35] <Mood> does ubuntu use a date server to set the time by default?
[15:35] <jim_p> hi people
[15:35] <Photoguy> Hi
[15:35] <fosco_> Mood: no
[15:35] <Mood> fosco_: it just grabs the local system time?
[15:35] <fosco_> yes
[15:36] <jim_p> how can i convert a number of html files to pdf ones? ooo writer can do it with export function, but it will take me a month to do it for ~50-60 html files
[15:36] <Mood> fosco_: what's the protocol to connect to time servers?
[15:36] <jim_p> Mood, ntp ?
[15:36] <Mood> yup
[15:37] <Guest26912> i had hardy and updatedd to gutsy but it's not telling me i can upgrade to intrepid ???????
[15:38] <JediMaster> Guest26912: I'm guessing that's because it was a LTS release
[15:38] <Guest26912> my other workstation asked me to upgrade fine
[15:38] <johny> I'm johny now
[15:38] <Matic> Hi all, who can explain this:(Reading database ... dpkg: error processing libapache2-mod-geoip (--remove):

[15:38] <keystr0k> is there a PDF viewer for ubuntu that lets you add comments, bookmarks, etc. ?
[15:39] <ari_stress> jim_p: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-convert-chm-files-to-html-or-pdf-files.html
[15:39] <Mood> keystr0k: doesn't ghostview do that?
[15:39] <keystr0k> Mood, ghostview? never heard of it.
[15:39] <jim_p> ari_stress, let me look, although i know mine are html TO pdf
[15:39] <JediMaster> Guest26912: hmm yeah, my bad it was Hardy that was LTS
[15:39] <oCean_> jim_p: think there is a cli app html2ps. So plain solution is to create a for loop (for all files) then "html2ps file.html file.ps" && "ps2pdf file.ps file.pdf"
[15:40] <paulo39> which is the command for adding repositorys?
[15:40] <ryanprior> My notification area says "1 file operation active", but that file operation has hung. How can I cancel it?
[15:40] <jim_p> oCean_, is there ps2pdf?!?!
[15:40] <oCean_> jim_p: I have it :)
[15:40] <lstarnes> paulo39: you have to manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:40] <ari_stress> jim_p: yes, it also offers html to pdf
[15:40] <ryanprior> jim_p: There is indeed ps2pdf
[15:41] <igordcard> hey, is there any quick way to disable pidgin's integration with ubuntu gnome?
[15:41] <johny> so how do i tell it to upgrade to intrepid ?
[15:41] <johny> igordcard: that works through dbus so probably disable dbus in pidgin would work
[15:41] <ryanprior> jim_p: you'll want something like `ls | grep html | xargs html2ps && ls | grep .ps | xargs ps2pdf && rm *.ps`
[15:41] <oCean_> jim_p: I have ps2pdf from package "ghostscript" , in that package is not a html2pdf

[15:47] <noon> i have a 500gb external drive that is causing me permissions problems. it automatically mounts, but is there a way to automatically mount if with me set as the owner and full perms?
[15:48] <GNUtoo> then I'll copy the kernel on the same partition that grub use and boot from the usb stick...I hope it will work(does it need any kernel parameter? for instance to  wait for usb  before mounting rootfs?)
[15:48] <Dgrillo> Hi, well  i used xrandr to configurate  2 extended monitors,  and i made it, but  the main screen appears in the wrong monitor..... any advice?
[15:50] <therealnanotube> so... stuff works on my local testing server, but when i try to use the admin's "search" feature on a model on my "live" server, i get Exception Type:  	OperationalError
[15:50] <therealnanotube> Exception Value:

[15:50] <therealnanotube> what am i missing?
[15:50] <FloodBot1> therealnanotube: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:51] <therealnanotube> hey, the exception info was just two lines... that's no flood.
[15:52] <hatter243> I see four lines =/
[15:53] <noon> i have a 500gb external drive that is causing me permissions problems. it automatically mounts, but is there a way to automatically mount if with me set as the owner and full perms?
[15:53] <jim_p> thanks A MILLION ari_stress , oCean_, ryanprior
[15:53] <therealnanotube> heh, nvm, wrong channel... sorry. :)
[15:54] <oCean_> jim_p: sure. Converting completed?
[15:54] <GNUtoo> I think I'll use rootdelay
[15:54] <GNUtoo> or use the initrd
[15:54] <padhu> noon: You can use manual mounting. What is the file system type?
[15:55] <jim_p> oCean_, no not yet, i am fine tuning pdf options
[15:55] <noon> padhu, i want it to apply each time i login/startup. the fs is ext3
[15:55] <Richard_> .
[15:56] <padhu> noon: use " sudo mount -o rw /dev/sdaX /mnt"
[15:56] <Necrosan> OK, doing a sparc install
[15:56] <Necrosan> base system installed correctly finally, but there is a bad package that made its way on to the alt cd.
[15:57] <Necrosan> AFAIK, the system should boot once a boot loader is installed now. Problem is, I select "install silo boot loader" and it sits indefinitely
[15:57] <padhu> Noon: You can make an script for this also
[15:57] <Necrosan> It wants me to answer yes according to the install log, but i can't
[15:57] <Necrosan> ALT+F4 accepts NO input
[15:57] <Necrosan> Any way I can interact with silo?
[15:58] <Necrosan> Possible to chroot during install?

[16:16] <Serge3> how to change mac address ? ifconfig eth0 hw ether address ?
[16:16] <erUSUL> Serge3: yes iirc
[16:16] <st> (topic
[16:17] <st> is there a channel for wine
[16:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !wine
[16:17] <Serge3> why ubuntu reset address to the default eth0 address on system restart?!
[16:17] <Serge3> i mean mac address, is reseted on restart
[16:17] <gunjesh> I HAVE SOME PROBLEMS IN WINE
[16:17] <Jack_Sparrow> !caps > gunjesh
[16:18] <erUSUL> Serge3: becouse the MAC adress is something that is hardwired on every nic and you have to change it every reboot
[16:18] <arcsky> Ist hard to make a .deb file?
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !packaging
[16:18] <Serge3> erUSUL it is possible to change it permanently??
[16:18] <n_nick> hi .. i installed xchat but now 2 xchats are coming
[16:19] <Droopsta915> Sorry, I got disconnected. My problem is im trying to add an applet to the panel, the address book search. it gives me an error )Error Accessing Address Book.
[16:19] <erUSUL> Serge3: no it comes in ROM on most nics just put the change in some boot script like /etc/rc.local
[16:19] <hatter243> Serge3, you can change your mac by editing your /etc/network/interfaces file
[16:19] <Serge3> and when i change the mac address, and turn up eth0, why i don't have the network connection ??
[16:20] <Serge3> ifconfig up eth0
[16:20] <bullgard4> Ubuntu 8.04.2 uses nm-applet 0.6.6. Since Ubuntu 8.04 release date NetworkManager has been much improved. Can I expect that Ubuntu will provide a NetworkManager package version >= 0.7 for Hardy?;3C
[16:20] <spider> hi
[16:20] <erUSUL> Serge3: you need more than that to fully configure a net connection
[16:20] <Serge3> hatter243 yeeaa? by what command intersting?)

[16:21] <n_nick> so which one is for wht
[16:21] <Serge3> erUSUL i setted this already and was needed to change the mac
[16:21] <Serge3> =]
[16:21] <erUSUL> Serge3: the best way to do all of this automatically is to use /etc/network/interfaces
[16:21] <erUSUL> Serge3: man interfaces
[16:21] <thedoor> join#drupal-br
[16:22] <erUSUL> Serge3: or just use network manager
[16:22] <Serge3> erUSUL but nameserver to put in /etc/resolv.conf ?
[16:22] <erUSUL> Serge3: system>preferences>Network config
[16:22] <calipso> olá
[16:22] <erUSUL> Serge3: no in interfaces you can put the nameservers too

[16:29] <fpga> I have Mikrotik mini-pci Atheros AR5414 card called R52. My kernel 2.6.28.1, MadWifi - today's SVN version. Result = wifi0: ath_fatal_tasklet: Hardware error; resetting. How to fix this?

[16:30] <mr_polite> ive disabled desktop effects, removed and reinstalled the nvidia 96 driver, my 8.10 system is still terrible. is there anything i can do short of reverting to 8.04 to make 8.10 useable?
[16:31] <fpga> mr_polite - reinstall ^_^ Best, fastest way ^_^

[16:38] <Chousuke> how do I override permissions on a mounted volume so that my user has read access? I have a HFS+ volume that I can't read because the permissions are for UID 501, but my UID is 1000 :/
[16:38] <gordonjcp> ackbahr: is it a VFAT drive?  Like, DOS-native not Linux-native?
[16:40] <d35i9n> gordonjcp: i am checking audacity out, but i can't play back do you know is the output device settings in audacity?
[16:40] <GNUtoo> thanks a lot it boots!!! I'm updating ubuntu...I don't know why but grub recognized the key...that made it very easy to boot
[16:40] <Krstnsn> ok, so i have this INSANE issue with ubuntu. Lets say im connected to a wireless network, which is connected to the internet. Sometimes when i comeback to my computer while its been idle for a little bit. itll be connected to the network but not the internet. the only fix is to reboot the computer..... if i change to other networks itll still do it. until... i reboot. any ideas?

[16:40] <d35i9n> ty
[16:41] <d35i9n> krstnsn: you could try disabling your network then enabling if u haven't
[16:41] <Krstnsn> ya i do that
[16:41] <Krstnsn> ive done everything.. the only fix is to reboot
[16:41] <Krstnsn> its pretty annoying when i have downloads going and i miss a whole day of download time....
[16:42] <johan12> anyone got a huawei e220 3g modem to work with xubuntu 8.10? just plug n play?

[16:42] <gordonjcp> d35i9n: hm, don't know, then
[16:42] <gordonjcp> you'd need to get that bit working first
[16:42] <fluitfries_> can anyone help me remove an applet from the panel for all user accounts, even new ones?  i've tried a few of the suggestions with gconf on the forums but nothing seems to be working.  thanks!

[16:44] <gabbler> hi does anyone know of any software that can join two avi files together like virtualdub in windows
[16:44] <lasivian> is there any way I can use the current date in a command-line variable?
[16:44] <pozic> gabbler: mencoder can do that
[16:45] <lasivian> like as part of the name of an output file in a bash script
[16:45] <gabbler> ok thanks pozic
[16:45] <adiab> lasivian, you could use $(date) ?
[16:45] <bazhang> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#he220r1 johan12
[16:45] <johan12> adiab: should i turn of the wifi?
[16:46] <adiab> johan12, I never do, I just disconnect from wifi before trying to connect to 3g
[16:47] <lasivian> adiab: no, I neecd something that goes in a command-line as part of an output filename
[16:47] <lasivian> so I don;t get filenames all the same
[16:47] <johan12> adiab: how do i disconnect and not turning the wifi of?
[16:47] <ackbahr> gordonjcp: Sorry, I hadn't seen your reply.... It's a ext3 volume
[16:47] <mib_kpoj8x> Having used only usb adsl modems until now, i am thinking of bying a router. after reading many reviews i settled to speedtouch 536. is it indeed good? what's your opinion?
[16:47] <Necrosan> wow, ubuntu-sparc cds are so broken its not even funny
[16:47] <Necrosan> Hopefully the packages aren't in as rough of shape as the cd.
[16:48] <gordonjcp> ackbahr: and the main superblock has been overwritten?
[16:48] <Hillshum> What are the temporary folders in Intrepid?
[16:48] <adiab> jonan12: in my menu under the wifi network I am connected to there is a disconnect menu item, failing that, it will not hurt if you turn it off completly, it will still work
[16:48] <ackbahr> gordonjcp: I guess so : I had troubles restoring a clone with clonezilla (bad restoration).....
[16:49] <Hillshum> mib_kpoj8x, From a compatibility viewpoint it won't matter. Anything else is offtopic here.
[16:49] <onthefence928> i just upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 and now my media keys (play/pause, next track, stop etc.) stopped working, how do i make sure that they work again?
[16:50] <laeg> will switching my bios mode into IDE/SATA compatibility temporarily b0rk my ubuntu?

[16:51] <Blah78> Hi, I need to use framebuffer but can't find /dev/fb0 in my ubuntu-server installation under vmware... anyone?
[16:51] <hipy`> :o
[16:52] <hipy`> what do you like more kubuntu or ubuntu
[16:52] <hipy`> i like the new gnome
[16:52] <hipy`> kde*
[16:52] <bazhang> hipy`, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[16:52] <biouser> hipy` gnome
[16:52] <hipy`> ok srry
[16:52] <ackbahr> gordonjcp: So I'm doomed, I guess?
[16:53] <biouser> jaunty is almost really good!  Hopefully the sound system will be impressive by the release date :)
[16:53] <gordonjcp> ackbahr: you may be able to extract something by examining the partition
[16:53] <Matic> kouya, check here - /usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions/
[16:53] <gordonjcp> ackbahr: you could look for the headers that mark the start of each file
[16:53] <gordonjcp> ackbahr: it's a PITA and very time-consuming
[16:54] <ackbahr> gordonjcp: No automated process? I'm trying this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Extract%20filesystem%20from%20recovered%20image
[16:54] <fluitfries_> can anyone help me remove an applet from the panel for all user accounts, even new ones?  i've tried a few of the suggestions with gconf on the forums but nothing seems to be working.  thanks!

[16:56] <RPS> Hello guys, I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 and I'm trying to find a way to run itunes from within ubuntu. I had someone mention using vmware, but they didn;t give me any more details. Would someone be polite enough to tell me what the guy was talking about?
[16:57] <bazhang> RPS, wine will do it but very very slow
[16:57] <william_> any idea why my sources.list files is so small. it only includes deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid main
[16:57] <RPS> is vmware another way of saying wine?
[16:57] <bazhang> RPS, no
[16:57] <bazhang> !wine | RPS
[16:57] <Jeruvy> RPS: wine is an emulation, vmware is a virtual machine.
[16:59] <lazarus_lupine> do you need itunes? There are a lot of native linux apps that handle iPods beautifully
[16:59] <RPS> thank you Jeruvy  ....virtual machine sounds like what might be a vague google search ...any place I need to narrow my search
[16:59] <RPS> I have an ipod Touch, so I have to use itunes
[16:59] <RPS> or at least that is what all the apple channels here on freenode say
[17:00] <lazarus_lupine> 1st or 2nd gen?
[17:01] <RPS> 2nd gen
[17:01] <kouya> thanks Matic!
[17:01] <kouya> :)
[17:01] <Hillshum> !virtualbox
[17:01] <hatter243> RPS, amarok, rhythmbox, banshee, gtkPod
[17:01] <hatter243> RPS, all of those will manage your iPod
[17:02] <lazarus_lupine> from what I can see, looks like the only workaround is to jailbreak and use ssh, and I don't think the 2nd gen is hacked yet
[17:02] <RPS> hatter243, they say it will not sync a 2nd gen
[17:02] <lazarus_lupine> http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/04/21/wirelessly-sync-an-iphone-or-ipod-touch-with-ubuntu/
[17:02] <RPS> thank you lazarus_lupine
[17:02] <lazarus_lupine> old article but could be of help
[17:02] <lazarus_lupine> np
[17:03] <RPS> Hmmm if its too old it might not address my 2nd gen
[17:03] <lazarus_lupine> exactly
[17:03] <RPS> what about the virtual machine? Where do I start?
[17:03] <lazarus_lupine> I would poke around and see what else can be found
[17:04] <stryd_one> hi all
[17:04] <Ego86> hi
[17:04] <Jeruvy> !vmware > RPS
[17:04] <lazarus_lupine> basically pick one (Vmware,Virtualbox,etc) , install it, and then install windows into it

[17:05] <stryd_one> stoopid bots
[17:05] <stryd_one> hehehe
[17:05] <Ego86> does exist any folderview screenlet for gnome?
[17:06] <Ego86> or any similar as in kde4
[17:07] <histo> Ego86, what do you mean?
[17:07] <savvas> Ego86: the only one I know of is "Places" in screenlets package
[17:07] <savvas> it contains bookmarks of important folders
[17:08] <RPS> I have VirtualBox OSE already installed on this ubuntu machine,but I zero clue of where to start. It's so tough being an ignorant, smart person. .LOL
[17:08] <Ego86> yes i know, but with something better
[17:08] <Ego86> histo: http://www.linuxbox.co.nz/goblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/folderview-comments.png

[17:12] <stryd_one> matic: furthermore there seem to be issues with wodim in burning the media i need to burn
[17:12] <Ceriand> What package did they hide the firmware for the kernel modules in Intrepid?
[17:12] <stryd_one> and furthermore the wodim package screws up the original cdrecord bin if I install it manually
[17:12] <AndreasMadrid> if i delete a directory with rm -R  there's no way to undo that afterwards, like a trash can or something like this, is there?

[17:15] <stryd_one> matic: need to do mixed mode, cd-extra, vcd, dvd, DAO
[17:15] <karamazov> how do i check if openssh is running?
[17:15] <savvas> Ceriand: which module are you trying to find?
[17:16] <savvas> karamazov: the server or the client?
[17:16] <Ceriand> savvas: it's not a module but the firmware for a device that a module supports
[17:16] <karamazov> savvas: the server
[17:16] <karamazov> savvas: i have to write a script that checks if sshd is running and if not, starts it
[17:16] <Ceriand> savvas: keyspan/usa19qw.fw to be precise
[17:17] <Matic> stryd_one, well you need to research more on this coz I do not think linux has gone that far but am not sure just keep researching and am sure will find a solution
[17:17] <stryd_one> well linux has gone that far
[17:17] <stryd_one> cdrtools does it all fine
[17:17] <savvas> karamazov: perhaps through netstat? netstat -ln -t tcp
[17:17] <stryd_one> but ubuntu has a dummy spit on cdrtools, because of the wodim package
[17:18] <savvas> Ceriand: ah, you're looking for the source of the modules then?
[17:19] <Ceriand> savvas: no, just the binary .fw file
[17:19] <Ceriand> savvas: it should be in linux-firmware but it's not
[17:20] <axisr9> if i have two files ONE.TXT and TWO.TXT -- and ONE.TXT contains a list of numbers from 50 to 60.. each number on a new line.. and then TWO.TXT contains a list of numbers from 80 to 90, each number on a new line...... how can i basically read one line from one.txt, then read one line from TWO.TXT and so forth? with the bash shell.. anyone know?

[17:27] <DEA7H> If i were the proprietary ATi drivers in the Ubuntu repository, what would i be called?
[17:27] <somethingtodo> AndreasMadrid:  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.html
[17:27] <karamazov> is this an effective way of testing if ssh server is running: " 'ssh localhost' and see if it can connect? " ?

[17:30] <ethana2> but I have one I need to burn
[17:30] <ethana2> and the only OS I have, at all, is Ubuntu
[17:31] <bastidrazor> bahaa2008; http://baghira.sourceforge.net/dmg.htm  :: or look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=125526 ... and yes brasero or k3b can burn a dmg
[17:31] <AndreasMadrid> bye folks
[17:31] <ethana2> bastidrazor: sweeet, thanks
[17:31] <bahaa2008> ethana2, you have same problem like me ?
[17:31] <andrew__> can someone help me
[17:32] <Loganhoup> For some reason when I minimize things to tray I cannot see the icon in the tray or re-open it. When I try to restart the program it says it is already running. Could someone please help me with this?
[17:32] <bahaa2008> bastidrazor, i tried all the pages that you will find throw web search
[17:32] <bastidrazor> ethana2; you may need the ubuntu-restricted-extras in order for that to burn if you haven't installed them
[17:32] <ethana2> bastidrazor: k
[17:32] <bahaa2008> bastidrazor, i tried dmg2iso
[17:33] <nightrid3r> !ask | andrew__
[17:33] <bastidrazor> bahaa2008; what does the dmg contain?
[17:33] <ethana2> does .iso support HFS?
[17:33] <bahaa2008> bastidrazor, i tried direct mount
[17:33] <andrew__> my display res settings r limited the highest i can go is 800x600 how can i change it
[17:33] <MethinX> Could anyone help me locate an AutoCad type program for ubuntu?
[17:33] <ubuntunoob2003> I currently have my wlan0 interface set as Ad-Hoc mode, I have what I think to be the proper configurations applied to have the interface come up, but it is not. It currently shows that I do not have a cell association. Any ideas?

[17:33] <Loganhoup> For some reason when I minimize things to tray I cannot see the icon in the tray or re-open it. When I try to restart the program it says it is already running. Could someone please help me with this?
[17:34] <ethana2> (I'm doing the exact same thing for my new eMac, wiped the OS trying to install Ubuntu..)
[17:34] <bazhang> bahaa2008, that is not supported here
[17:34] <ethana2> turns out they left the scsi drivers off the 8.10 disc
[17:34] <bastidrazor> bahaa2008; it would suite you better to burn it then mount.
[17:34] <bahaa2008> bazhang, i don't take avou it
[17:34] <bahaa2008> about
[17:34] <stryd_one> bastidrazor, sorry to bug you but youk seem to know about this area.... i don't suppose you're up to speed on what to do with cdrtools vs cdrkit and all that?
[17:35] <Loganhoup> For some reason when I minimize things to tray I cannot see the icon in the tray or re-open it. When I try to restart the program it says it is already running. Could someone please help me with this?
[17:35] <bahaa2008> bastidrazor, how to burn it
[17:35] <bastidrazor> stryd_one; sorry, i've never used either.
[17:35] <ethana2> well you have to mount it to remove the lang packs and printer drivers
[17:35] <ethana2> to fit it on a single layer DVD
[17:35] <stryd_one> bastid: what do you burn with?
[17:35] <somethingtodo> MethinX:  I've never seen any decent CAD program for linux, sorry..... there are some basic ones though:   http://tldp.org/LDP/LGNET/issue54/frost.html
[17:35] <ubuntunoob2003> I am trying to set up an Ad-Hoc network, I currently have my interface up and running, however it is not broadcasting my SSID.. it appears to not have a Cell associated, any ideas of why this would happen?
[17:35] <bastidrazor> stryd_one; k3b, i like k3b over brasero even though i use ubuntu verse kubuntu.
[17:35] <bahaa2008> bastidrazor, do u mean using brasero
[17:35] <bastidrazor> bahaa2008; yes.
[17:36] <stryd_one> k3b is using these tools in the back end
[17:36] <bahaa2008> bastidrazor, but if not supported
[17:36] <stryd_one> yeh i like k3b too... shame there's no gtk app with it's features
[17:36] <bastidrazor> stryd_one; kubuntu-restricted-extras and k3b serve me very well
[17:36] <bahaa2008> bastidrazor, what i should do ?
[17:37] <stryd_one> thx bastidrazor
[17:37] <bastidrazor> bahaa2008; a better google search since dmg is unsupported
[17:37] <Loganhoup> For some reason when I minimize things to tray I cannot see the icon in the tray or re-open it. When I try to restart the program it says it is already running. Could someone please help me with this?This gives me big problems with programs like amarok that start minmized to the tray.
[17:37] <bastidrazor> stryd_one; glad i could help even though i didn't really :)
[17:37] <stryd_one> i am beginning to get the feeling I am "asking a question with no answer, grasshopper" :D
[17:38] <Loganhoup> For some reason when I minimize things to tray I cannot see the icon in the tray or re-open it. When I try to restart the program it says it is already running. Could someone please help me with this?
[17:38] <bahaa2008> bastidrazor, i tried all solutions i found
[17:38] <e-colin> !list
[17:38] <bastidrazor> bahaa2008; i can burn dmg's with k3b. i would assume brasero can with the properly installed dependencies
[17:38] <stryd_one> logan: does it happen with all apps that can minimise to tray?
[17:38] <bahaa2008> bastidrazor, no one works
[17:38] <Loganhoup> yes
[17:38] <ubuntunoob2003> I am trying to set up an Ad-Hoc network, I currently have my interface up and running, however it is not broadcasting my SSID.. it appears to not have a Cell associated, any ideas of why this would happen?
[17:38] <Loganhoup> transmission, amarok
[17:39] <Loganhoup> everything
[17:39] <bahaa2008> bastidrazor, how to check ability to burn dmg
[17:39] <stryd_one> logan: are the apps still responsive? like does amarok keep playing?
[17:39] <Loganhoup> yes.
[17:39] <Loganhoup> transmission even keeps downloading
[17:39] <bahaa2008> bastidrazor, cuz dual layer dvds is not cheep :)
[17:40] <stryd_one> perhaps you have removed the tray from gnome?
[17:40] <Loganhoup> in order to see it again I have to kill it and restart it
[17:40] <BLZ> how can i autostart transmission when i log in?
[17:40] <bullgard4> man ifconfig: "If no arguments are given, ifconfig displays the status of the currently active interfaces. My IBM T42 lists an interface 'ath0' but why does this interface have no internet address?
[17:40] <bastidrazor> bahaa2008; brasero will tell you when you attempt to burn before it does anything that is won't or it will simply burn and you have your dmg on disc

[17:40] <Loganhoup> I did recently delete my top panel on accident
[17:40] <efaistos> hi
[17:40] <frg22> when I kill firefox, system sound stops working all round. Any ideas on how to get it working again without having tor estart?
[17:41] <LMJ> bullgard4 : that's your wifi card, if it doesn't have any IP address that means nobody assign it...
[17:41] <stryd_one> frg which version?
[17:41] <stryd_one> of ubuntu, that is...
[17:41] <BLZ> stryd_one:  thanks.  what's the command?  is it just "trasmission" ?
[17:41] <BLZ> *transmission, even
[17:41] <ubuntunoob2003> Does anyone have any idea's of why my Ad-hoc network which shows its interface as up is not broadcasting the essid that I have assigned it?
[17:41] <frg22> stryd_one: 8.10
[17:41] <stryd_one> blz: dunno, look in the menu editor to find out what the icon does: System..Preferences... Main Menu
[17:41] <bahaa2008> bastidrazor, i tried it with normal dvd but it tells me not enough space is this means that it will did it ?
[17:41] <efaistos> little question i updated from gutsy to intrepid and everything almost works except the new kernel ... when i boot it goes to busybox and thats all
[17:41] <efaistos> :(
[17:41] <efaistos> any idea ?
[17:42] <bullgard4> LMJ: No, my wifi card has got the interface 'wifi0'.
[17:42] <bullgard4> LMJ: No, my wifi card has got the interface name 'wifi0'.
[17:42] <stryd_one> frg22, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
[17:42] <Loganhoup> stryd, if I did delete how would I get it back
[17:42] <Loganhoup> I don't know of a panel widget for it
[17:42] <bastidrazor> bahaa2008; that means you don't have enough space, i would assume it will burn to a dual layer. that is my assumption though.
[17:42] <kwesi> hi
[17:42] <kwesi> need answers
[17:42] <LMJ> wifi0 is an emulated wireless card, ath0 is the real one

[17:43] <omnomnOMINOUS> Hi everyone! My laptop is going into a hard freeze whenever I try to connect to my university's secure wireless network. It works for a while (on the order of 5-15 minutes), but inevitably something starts using 100% CPU (according to top, I think the processes were dd, syslogd, and one other one). Soon afterwards, my computer freezes completely, and I'm forced to hold down the power button. :( Can anyone help me?

[17:45] <Loganhoup> For some reason when I minimize things to tray I cannot see the icon in the tray or re-open it. When I try to restart the program it says it is already running. Could someone please help me with this?
[17:45] <stryd_one> logan: right-click the panel, chooes add to panel, ... uhm... it's one of those ?
[17:45] <bahaa2008> bastidrazor, hope that will work
[17:45] <Loganhoup> I guess but which one
[17:45] <stryd_one> Loganhoup, it's also possible you've just resized it down to nothing
[17:45] <Loganhoup> I dont know how
[17:46] <bahaa2008> bastidrazor, dvd dual layer costs my $1.5
[17:46] <bahaa2008> :)
[17:46] <Loganhoup> if its one of the panel widgets which one
[17:46] <stryd_one> if you rightclick...move, then you can slide the trays around
[17:46] <stryd_one> i dunno which one mate... google it?
[17:46] <Loganhoup> I always thought it did it by default
[17:46] <xfm> hello, Im on ubuntu 8.10, with firefox. I have installed adobe-flashplugin, but the test on the official webpage of adobe (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/) doesn't work... maybe a link problem? PLease help me. thank you
[17:47] <xfm> and if I do about:plugins in firefox, I do not see flash
[17:47] <Silenx> da e per
[17:47] <stryd_one> xfm: i had to install the plugin manually in synaptic
[17:47] <pluma> Loganhoup: do you mean the Notification area (for stuff like kopete, gaim etc as icons) or the Window List (task bar)?
[17:47] <Loganhoup> I would figure
[17:47] <giacomo_c> how do i go about opening ports with iptables?
[17:47] <Silenx> aptitute install flashplugin
[17:47] <Loganhoup> upper right hand corner
[17:47] <glymph> xfm: it's called flashplugin-nonfree now
[17:47] <Silenx> for mozilla flash player
[17:48] <Loganhoup> is where its icon would normally show pluma
[17:48] <stryd_one> when i had tried to install it via the browser it wouldn't behave... i had to do a 'complete removal', then reinstall... and do it with FF closed!
[17:48] <Loganhoup> but it doesnt
[17:48] <padhu> somethingtodo: what about QCAD?
[17:48] <stryd_one> pluma: it seems he means the notification area
[17:48] <pluma> Loganhoup: talking Windows XP -- do you mean the bit with the rectangular boxes with the icon and name or the bit next to the system time with just icons in it?
[17:49] <xfm> glymph: are you sure: I thought the version 9 was called flashplugin-nonfree and the version 10 adobe-flashplugin
[17:49] <Loganhoup> I'm talking ubuntu intrepid ibex 8.10
[17:49] <pluma> Loganhoup: I know. I'm talking about what it would look like in WinXP
[17:49] <giacomo_c> and is ubuntuforums.org down?  or gone?
[17:49] <glymph> ah, good point xfm - in that case I don't know
[17:50] <Loganhoup> I've got my time in a panel in the upperright hand corner
[17:50] <pluma> Loganhoup: As I don't have the default layout for Ubuntu memorised
[17:50] <Loganhoup> next to it is my volume and network manager
[17:50] <CompactDstrxion> xfm are you on amd64?
[17:50] <stryd_one> xfm: you are correct about the version
[17:50] <Loganhoup> next to it is profile switcher
[17:50] <xfm> CompactDstrxion: no, 32
[17:50] <xfm> stryd_one: thanks
[17:50] <pluma> Loganhoup: Right. I'll just throw a guess and assume you mean the Notification area then. Right-click an empty spot on the panel, select "Add to Panel..." and then add the Notification Area.
[17:51] <stryd_one> xfm: define "doesn't work" anyway :)
[17:51] <Loganhoup> thank you

[17:52] <pluma> Loganhoup: You're welcome.
[17:52] <stryd_one> lol thanks werdnum, exactly what i meant :)
[17:52] <xfm> stryd_one: You installed adobe-flashplugin, and the page http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ works? Me no...
[17:52] <stryd_one> xfm: yes, but it only worked *after8 i did what i said before
[17:52] <CompactDstrxion> you restarted your browser xfm?

[17:53] <Gtwy> mmm4m5m: wait wait wait you wanna convert
[17:53] <Gtwy> mmm4m5m: badddd idea
[17:53] <stryd_one> kwesi: error message?
[17:53] <gordonjcp> bullgard4: because one might not be set up on it
[17:53] <Gtwy> mmm4m5m: i would only convert if you could back up the data first, but if you are going to back up the data you may as well back it up , create a new ext3 partition and then bring the data back
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> is there an email client that can store emails from an account on the local system from a google account (webmail spec) but has a web interface for send / reading etc etc. so the emails are pulled down in the normal way (polling every now and again) but i'd love a web interface to teh stored mails, is that possible
[17:53] <stryd_one> anyone here know about cdrtools/cdrkit/cdrecord/wodim?
[17:53] <Gtwy> mmm4m5m: cause you WILL lose data if you convert
[17:53] <gordonjcp> kwesi: you use synaptic to install software
[17:53] <mmm4m5m> Gtwy: if I am able to defragment and resize, then I will create a second ext3 partition and it will be easy and safe
[17:54] <gordonjcp> kwesi: are you trying to use something like apt-get at the same time as synaptic?
[17:54] <kwesi> tells me something else is running
[17:54] <Gtwy> mmm4m5m: oh you want to create a seperate ext3 partition
[17:54] <Gtwy> mmm4m5m: partition magic is a windows app that you can use
[17:54] <Gtwy> mmm4m5m: costs money though
[17:54] <gordonjcp> kwesi: what exactly are you doing when you get the error?
[17:54] <Gtwy> mmm4m5m: there isnt going to be anything open source to do that which is dependable, youd end up losing your data
[17:54] <pluma> Where does Intrepid look for its keyboard mappings? I know it's got to be in SOME X11 conf file, but I have no idea where and some of them seem redundant.
[17:54] <bullgard4> gordonjcp: I do not know the phrase: "to be set up on sth." Please rephrase your answer so that I can understand it.
[17:54] <mmm4m5m> Gtwy: I have two options: install windows or use TrueImage trial (as far I know, it is bootable life CD)
[17:55] <mothersunion> hello
[17:55] <stryd_one> mmm4m5m, that is pure madness, don't do it.
[17:55] <gordonjcp> bullgard4: I don't know what you're asking
[17:55] <xfm> stryd_one, CompactDstrxion: ok, I installed version 9, removed it, and now the previous installed version 10 works... I think there was a broken link...
[17:55] <stryd_one> even with windows, it's a bad idea

[17:56] <elf__> Hello, everytime I try to upgrade from 7.0.4 to 7.10 using update-manager, it works for a few minutes then fails fetching  http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/dists/feisty/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.gz
[17:56] <kwesi> gordonjcp: using synaptic package manager
[17:56] <xfm> stryd_one: thanks thanks ;)
[17:56] <elf__> but it doesn't matter which server I try
[17:56] <gordonjcp> kwesi: okay
[17:56] <stryd_one> hahaha
[17:56] <gordonjcp> kwesi: and you're only using synaptic?
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> Dinand_Mentink: run lspci and lsusb in terminal, one line will identify the device, you can websearch from there
[17:56] <bullgard4> gordonjcp: How can an network interface be active without having an internet address?
[17:56] <Pici> !upgrade | elf__
[17:56] <gordonjcp> bullgard4: easily
[17:56] <elf__> ubottu: thanks, i'll look at them.
[17:57] <bullgard4> gordonjcp: Can you elaborate.
[17:57] <gordonjcp> bullgard4: what if you weren't using it for TCP/IP ?
[17:57] <kwesi> gordonjcp: can I be doing that and using Add/remove to install software
[17:57] <gordonjcp> kwesi: no
[17:57] <Dinand_Mentink> I've websearched for like 2 days now
[17:57] <gordonjcp> kwesi: you can only use one package manager at a time
[17:57] <kwesi> gordonjcp: That's slow
[17:57] <bullgard4> gordonjcp: I can only use interfaces vis TCP/IP. Anything else is obsolete.
[17:57] <gordonjcp> kwesi: there is a database that keeps track of which packages that are installed
[17:57] <Dinand_Mentink> the device is Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN
[17:57] <jabbieboy> hi all
[17:58] <jabbieboy> how are  you  doing?
[17:58] <cbilljones> hey hey
[17:58] <gordonjcp> bullgard4: I suppose you've never used a NAS then
[17:58] <spill> hey all, I'm runing 8.10 with gnome, I installed kde and then uninstalled but now the kubuntu splash screen is still there instead of the orange ubuntu.
[17:58] <gordonjcp> not NAS, rather, SAN
[17:58] <mothersunion> hello
[17:58] <gordonjcp> kwesi: you can tell the package manager to install more than one package at a time
[17:59] <kwesi> gordonjcp: Is there a site I can download a whole collection of packages and install?
[17:59] <marcel_> how can i get java please ? (what package is better ??)
[17:59] <neulix> join/ #ubuntu-de
[17:59] <gordonjcp> kwesi: probably
[17:59] <stryd_one> marcel: use he sun-java one
[18:00] <mmm4m5m> s1amson: Thank you. Will check more about "parted magic". Looks it is free. Do you have good experience with ntfs? Long time back I did use TrueImage. They have live CD, I think it is linux based. They give some gurantees at least. Do you think "parted magic" is better option?
[18:00] <tigreton> hi
[18:00] <bullgard4> gordonjcp: It is true that I have never used a Netware Access Server. But this irrelevant for finding the answer to the question put.
[18:00] <stryd_one> mmm4m5m, noone in their right mind is gonna guarantee what you're doing
[18:00] <gordonjcp> bullgard4: not Netware, NAS
[18:00] <marcel_> java from sun is better than the others gordnjcp ?
[18:00] <kwesi> gordonjcp: It looks like using the package manager after fresh installation is really slow
[18:00] <FuriousGeorge> hey all
[18:00] <gordonjcp> bullgard4: network attached storage
[18:00] <gordonjcp> kwesi: maybe your net connection is slow
[18:00] <FuriousGeorge> any way to get java 6u10 on 8.0.4

[18:01] <spill> anyone know how to change the ubuntu loading splash screen?
[18:01] <mmm4m5m> stryd_one: 500 GB HDD, 50% is free. First need to resize. After that I can backup.
[18:01] <stryd_one> mmm: no, first need to backup, after that you can resize
[18:01] <fluitfries_> can anyone help me remove an applet from the panel for all user accounts, even new ones?  i've tried a few of the suggestions with gconf on the forums but nothing seems to be working.  thanks!
[18:01] <gordonjcp> bullgard4: the one with no IP address is only used for raw Ethernet frames
[18:01] <scunizi> mmm4m5m, another one to google for is Rescue CD.. It's a live cd with partimage on it for mirroring your partitions.
[18:01] <stryd_one> resizing a partition with no backup is risky as hell
[18:02] <kwesi> gordonjcp: I am in Ghana
[18:02] <stryd_one> resizing it and then changing the filesystem is worse
[18:02] <gordonjcp> kwesi: hmm
[18:02] <gordonjcp> kwesi: perhaps you can change your package manager to use a mirror closer to you
[18:03] <spill> anyone know how to change the ubuntu loading splash screen?
[18:03] <Pici> fluitfries_: Have you seen this document? http://library.gnome.org/admin/deployment-guide/
[18:03] <mmm4m5m> stryd_one, s1amson, scunizi, Gtwy: thank you very much. Will think twice. Maybe you are right, I have to take it slowly.

[18:03] <efaistos> hmmm anybody has an idea how to resolve the initramfs busybox issue when you boot on a newer kernel ?
[18:04] <fluitfries_> Pici: i have not.  this should be very helpful.  thanks!!
[18:04] <spill> stryd_one: we'll do thanks.
[18:04] <Pici> fluitfries_: This may help as well: http://www.linux.com/feature/62060
[18:04] <stryd_one> spill: there were instructions on the ubuntu forums IIRC
[18:05] <spill> stryd_one: ok, i'll check it out.
[18:05] <spill> stryd_one: thanks.
[18:05] <fluitfries_> Pici: great, thanks again.
[18:05] <stryd_one> if you don't find it lemme know and i'll dig in my history
[18:05] <xMopx> Hey If I have eeeubuntu, is it possible to get the regular gnome desktop on it? Because that default launcher crap they have is honestly terrible.
[18:05] <bullgard4> gordonjcp: Thank you for commenting.

[18:09] <cbilljones> kk im trying
[18:09] <FuriousGeorge> anyone see a problem with me getting the java-bin-6u10.deb from intrepid and installing it in hardy?
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> cbilljones: I dont use gnome-xchat so i cant be specific
[18:09] <jelly12gen> FuriousGeorge: isnt it in the backports?
[18:10] <Ketrel> If I wish to choose a wireless network and connect to it purely from commandline what do I have to do
[18:10] <user___> FuriousGeorge: yes, they just dont match ;-)
[18:10] <FuriousGeorge> jelly12gen: where can i find the backports?  in 8.04 the newest version available is 6u07
[18:11] <xMopx> With eeeubuntu, is it possible to get the regular gnome desktop on it?
[18:11] <gmathews> is playing: The End by The Doors on (No Album Field)
[18:11] <bazhang> gmathews, disable that script here
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> xMopx: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[18:12] <bazhang> xMopx, yess
[18:12] <bazhang> xMopx, just choose the version from their page
[18:12] <wolter> hi, i need help building gspca... I always get many errors...
[18:12] <FuriousGeorge> jelly12gen: is this the official list of backports?  http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-backports/allpackages
[18:12] <FuriousGeorge> if so, it is not there
[18:12] <cbilljones> thanks guys, got it figured out :)
[18:13] <xMopx> Ah Ill try that apt line
[18:13] <gmathews> bazhang: sorry thought it was #amarok :P My bad.
[18:13] <FuriousGeorge> user___: i read on a forum that because sun-java6-bin is a bin that you can just use the .deb
[18:14] <messeup> ubuntu eee anyone ??
[18:14] <messeup> where is install guidlines
[18:14] <messeup> i have xandros and it sucks
[18:15] <messeup> nothing works correct
[18:15] <ryanprior> My 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?
[18:15] <messeup> !eee
[18:15] <ryanprior> messeup: This isn't the place to complain about other distros. Good luck getting Ubuntu working, though.
[18:15] <stryd_one> furious: do you really need to? regardless, grab the deb and try it. if it can't find dependencies, it'll not install. It might go pear-shaped... what about installing from source?
[18:16] <user___> FuriousGeorge: theres some truth to this, but in effect you need a perfectly matching system and this includes for instance having the correct libc, etc..
[18:16] <messeup> eee channel?
[18:17] <wolter> hey tritium, could you help me building gspca?
[18:17] <bazhang> !eee
[18:17] <FuriousGeorge> stryd_one:  i really need it
[18:17] <KaptenRodSkagg> hmm
[18:17] <FuriousGeorge> where can i find these .debs anyway?  google wont tell me
[18:18] <KaptenRodSkagg> anyone know how to get the "mac"adress from my cell phone over bluetooth?
[18:18] <glymph> KaptenRodSkagg: hcitool scan
[18:18] <bazhang> messeup, #ubuntu-eeepc
[18:18] <KaptenRodSkagg> glymph: tanx will try that
[18:19] <KaptenRodSkagg> glymph: commandline or gui?
[18:19] <glymph> commandline
[18:19] <emendo> What is the preferred paste website, I have some output I need your help with.
[18:19] <glymph> probably needs "sudo" at the start
[18:19] <DasBaum> ify matrix
[18:19] <glymph> !paste
[18:19] <aar> Hi, when you do a "ls" in the terminal and some files / directories are blue or green, what do those colours means?
[18:19] <rsa_md5> any idea where do  I find a complete deb package for python2.6 that would have all the dependencies bundled with it?
[18:20] <Ketrel> If I wish to choose a wireless network and connect to it purely from commandline what do I have to do?
[18:20] <aar> Ketrel, ifconfig
[18:20] <macman_> guys .. i want to rm -r /tmp/ is this safe or not ?
[18:20] <glymph> aar: they denote whether they are files or directories, and the permissions they have, should be documented in the "ls" manpage, I imagine - see "man ls"
[18:20] <bazhang> Ketrel, is it encrypted or not
[18:20] <aar> glymph, ok thanks
[18:20] <emendo> Ubuntu seems to have problems with mics. I am capturing for audacity. Please view this and tell me what you think.
[18:20] <emendo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/109953/
[18:20] <glymph> macman_: no, don't delete the tmp directory - it should get cleared at boot time anyway
[18:21] <bod> Hi, i have no graphics card drivers listed in System-->Admin-->Hardware drivers        I know that the card im using needs them because i installed them on all my previous installs -- how can i get the drivers? im using a nvidia geforce 7300
[18:21] <emendo> Do you think I have a driver problem?
[18:21] <Ketrel> bazhang: nope, I just need the basic commands to use
[18:21] <emendo> Capture is the only problem, the mic jack does not work.
[18:21] <emendo> My built in mics work perfectly.
[18:22] <bazhang> Ketrel, sudo dhclient wlan0 (for example)
[18:22] <FuriousGeorge> am i going to need the java-plugin from intrepid too now
[18:22] <bazhang> Ketrel, could be ath0 ra0 etc
[18:22] <Ketrel> bazhang: thank you, dhclient I think is the command I was forgetting, I knew of iwconfig, and ifconfig
[18:22] <Ketrel> bazhang: in my case, it's eth1
[18:22] <ryanprior> My 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?
[18:23] <bazhang> Bodsda, the 177 works here
[18:23] <bazhang> Bodsda, you are on intrepid right?
[18:23] <emendo> I did not have this problem on earlier versions of ubuntu.
[18:23] <Bodsda> bazhang, yep, thats the one i think i need, yes im on intrepid
[18:23] <bazhang> Bodsda, exact same card here
[18:23] <Bodsda> bazhang, nice :) any ideas how i install the drivers from apt?
[18:24] <nightrid3r> !openid
[18:25] <Bodsda> !pm > padhu
[18:25] <xMopx> ActionParsnip: Doing sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop didn't get the regular gnome desktop or ditch the eeebuntu one
[18:25] <cbilljones> bodsda, what driver ?
[18:26] <zwaene> lol
[18:26] <AJC_Z0> How do I add an application to handle media which I choose from the popup when I insert removable media (DVD, CD)?
[18:26] <bazhang> xMopx, that is not the way to do it
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> xMopx: you need to log off, change session type to gnome then log back in
[18:26] <Bodsda> cbilljones, nvidia 177
[18:26] <xMopx> ActionParsnip: I rebooted and changed the session type after installing
[18:26] <xMopx> bazhang: what should I try?
[18:26] <bazhang> xMopx, this is from eeebuntu site?
[18:26] <cbilljones> use hardware drivers in system>admin
[18:27] <Bodsda> cbilljones, thats the problem, there is none listed there
[18:27] <bazhang> Bodsda, you have the restricted-modules installed?
[18:27] <xMopx> bazhang: Yeah i downloaded the "netbook" one from eeebuntu.org
[18:27] <Rave1_> xMopx just download eeeubuntu Base it does not have that overlay desktop you are trtying to get rid of
[18:27] <Bodsda> bazhang, not sure, lemme check
[18:27] <cbilljones> ya prob need the modules
[18:27] <bazhang> xMopx, but you saw the other choices correct? the full gnome traditional desktop one?
[18:27] <xMopx> Rave1_: I tried that one, it started booting then dumped me into an "(initramfs)" shell that i couldnt do anything with
[18:28] <xMopx> bazhang: Sec ill check the choices
[18:28] <Bodsda> bazhang, cbilljones -- gah, have to wait for gstreamer stuff to finish downloading
[18:28] <Necrosan> Uhh.
[18:28] <Necrosan> xserver-xorg-video-sunffb is broken
[18:28] <Necrosan> On intrepid
[18:28] <cbilljones> kk should be there, what card do u have?
[18:28] <Necrosan> Well, not broken; it wants an older version ofX
[18:28] <Pici> !bugs | Necrosan
[18:28] <xMopx> bazhang: There's Last Session, Rune Xclient Script, GNOME, Secure Remote Connection Failsafe Gnome, Failsafe terminal.
[18:28] <Necrosan> Pici: How do i force install it?
[18:29] <Necrosan> It will work for sure, but apt-get is being lame
[18:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Necrosan What changes have you made to your sources list
[18:29] <Bodsda> bazhang, is the package called 'restricted-modules' ?
[18:29] <ryanprior> My 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?
[18:29] <bazhang> !info linux-restricted-moduless
[18:29] <bazhang> hang on bod
[18:30] <Necrosan> Jack_Sparrow: None. it's stock as ever.
[18:30] <Bodsda> ty :)
[18:30] <charles> slt
[18:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !info linux-restricted-modules
[18:30] <Bodsda> ah, cheers Jack_Sparrow
[18:30] <cbilljones> linux-restriced-modules
[18:30] <Necrosan> Jack_Sparrow: this is a sparc64 install
[18:30] <Necrosan> If that changes anything
[18:30] <charles> g pas  encore ubuntu en main et g voudrais discuter sur msn est ce possible
[18:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Necrosan What has been installed manually that may have changed dependencies and versioning
[18:31] <bazhang> charles, #ubuntu-fr
[18:31] <Bodsda> bazhang, would i have to restart before i see changes in hardware drivers?
[18:31] <Necrosan> Jack_Sparrow: I removed xserver-xorg-core, it wants an older version
[18:31] <Necrosan> I did that, reinstalled ubuntu-desktop, and it still borks.
[18:31] <bazhang> Bodsda, believe so yes
[18:31] <Necrosan> Looks like the maintainer isn't keeping it up to date
[18:31] <Bodsda> bazhang, ok, cheers mate, bbiab
[18:32] <bullgard4> ifconfig returns 4 times "Link encap". What is meant by 'link encap'?
[18:33] <Necrosan> Jack_Sparrow: no way to force it?
[18:34] <bod> hey bazhang -- no hardware drivers still :(
[18:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Necrosan I wont force anything, I try to look more at why something needs to be forced and work from there
[18:35] <Necrosan> Jack_Sparrow: -force=yes didn't fix it anyway.
[18:35] <bazhang> bod, did you check in synaptic for nvidia?
[18:35] <lilendian> Hello All, I've got an API mismatch error when trying to use nvidia drivers.
[18:35] <Necrosan> It really looks like ports.ubuntu.com is out of date
[18:35] <Necrosan> with sparc64 binaries
[18:35] <bod> bazhang, yes, there is quite a few, im not sure which one i want
[18:36] <lilendian> the binary drivers are 180.22 while the kernel api is 180.10 or something
[18:36] <Necrosan> unless a commit is going on right now (highly unlikely)
[18:36] <lilendian> how do I get this resolved?
[18:36] <bazhang> nvidia-glx-177 - NVIDIA binary Xorg driver bod
[18:36] <Pici> lilendian: What version of Ubuntu?
[18:36] <lilendian> ibex.
[18:36] <bod> bazhang, thank you kindly :)
[18:36] <Necrosan> Jack_Sparrow: Also having a problem getting linux-sparc64-smp to install..
[18:36] <Necrosan> One of the packages is not on the server, but is referenced by others
[18:37] <Jack_Sparrow> lilendian What video card are you using
[18:37] <lilendian> I tried using nvidia-glx-180 first, didnt work - then tried the binary installers- I think at some point, I've completely screwed up my ibex installation while trying to use the 'workarounds'
[18:37] <lilendian> gtx260
[18:37] <xMopx> Anyone know how I can get the regular gnome desktop on eeebuntu?
[18:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !eee
[18:37] <messeup> !eee
[18:37] <wolter> lilendian, dont worry... just run the setup's uninstaller
[18:38] <wolter> lilendian, that happened to me yesterday, i think. did you get the low-graphics mode thing?
[18:38] <lilendian> wolter, I did, The installation goes fine. Until I try to restart the X server.
[18:38] <lilendian> Yes, i did.
[18:38] <Jack_Sparrow> lilendian Once I tried the nvidia website drivers my system never recovered.,  Ended up restoring my backup
[18:38] <Ketrel> Question, when using apt from command-line, how can you see what a package provides?
[18:39] <wolter> lilendian, yes... same thing happened to me...
[18:39] <wolter> lilendian, go to your home dir, and locate the extraction of the binary driver.
[18:39] <lstarnes> Ketrel: try aptitude show package-name
[18:39] <lilendian> damn. I don't have no system backup :( - but on the bright side, I've got nothing to lose (except time) from re-doing the installation
[18:39] <wolter> lilendian, no
[18:39] <wolter> lilendian, pay attention
[18:39] <wolter> lilendian, i think i can solve this
[18:40] <lilendian> sorry, i'll shut up. please do go on.
[18:40] <wolter> lilendian, you just have to run the installer's uninstall option
[18:40] <Ketrel> lstarnes: thanks
[18:40] <Stalker72> How do I auto-align and/or auto-arrange icons in Kubuntu?
[18:40] <wolter> lilendian, setup saves a backup of everything before installing, uninstall restores the whole thing (everything related to graphics and kernels)
[18:40] <xMopx> How I can get the regular gnome desktop on eeebuntu?
[18:41] <Jack_Sparrow> xMopx Perhaps by asking in the eee channel
[18:41] <wolter> lilendian, so do this, locate the readme file inside that folder, and find where it says --uninstall
[18:41] <xMopx> Jack_Sparrow: I did, everyone there idles
[18:41] <jxander> does the google repository from http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/apt.html support intrepid?
[18:41] <lilendian> wolter, thats it? wolter, ahead of you on that mate. I already ran the installer with --uninstall. It does restore things except that nvidia-glx-180 doesnt work no more.
[18:41] <wolter> lilendian, well, truly you just have to run 'nvidia-installer --uninstall' while gdm is stopped (console mode)
[18:42] <wolter> lilendian, but you have to find that file, should be at ~/NVIDIA*/
[18:42] <wolter> lilendian, oh
[18:42] <wolter> lilendian, now thats diferent
[18:42] <wolter> lilendian, what is your card?
[18:42] <lilendian> gtx 260.
[18:43] <lilendian> wolter, what about this wrong kernel version. wait till I paste from dmesg
[18:43] <bullgard4> ifconfig returns 4 times "Link encap". What is meant by 'link encap'? link encapsulationẞ Why is this important?
[18:44] <emendo> I have no mic boost in 8.10. Please help.
[18:44] <emendo> I used to in earlier versions.
[18:44] <emendo> Why is it gone?
[18:45] <aldipc> question: when I have a fresh ubuntu install, is the firewall already active, or do I only have a firewall which actually does something (ie. block traffic) after I install firestarter or some other program which sets things up?
[18:46] <bazhang> !iptables
[18:46] <buters> bonjour a tous
[18:46] <buters> french here ,
[18:46] <bazhang> buters, #ubuntu-fr pour francais
[18:46] <buters> ok désolé  je debute
[18:46] <harlemdavvey1> hi guys, is there someone who's had problems with firefox 3.0.5?
[18:47] <buters> bye all
[18:47] <plazia> bye
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> harlemdavvey1: no issues here
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> harlemdavvey1: wassup?
[18:47] <johan12> how do i install new icon-sets?
[18:47] <guido_> hi, i am using the 8.10 alternative installation disc, on about 3/4th of the installation it asks for the installation disc, but it's already in there, any ideas?
[18:47] <CompactDstrxion> woot got flash working in 64-bit forefox
[18:47] <jacekowski> hi
[18:47] <legate> I can't reach the home folder of my fedora installation. If I try to go there via 'cd' I get "Permission denied". Trying to do it via 'sudo cd' fails with 'cd: command not found'. How is that possible?
[18:47] <shaya> anyone having an issue with pidgin and gmail?
[18:48] <emendo> Is there an irc that is specialized for linux sound?
[18:48] <aldipc> yeah, but when I haven't started firestarter yet, is iptables already setup to block traffic?
[18:48] <gpled> say, just installed 8.10 64 desktop.  notice i have no floppy drive showing.  any idea where it went?
[18:48] <kao> who uses a floppy anymore? :P
[18:48] <johan12> gpled: you have to put a floppy in the driver to show upp (i think)
[18:48] <puremichael> hi! can someone tell me why powernowd ignores my adjusted settings? it always uses 1ghz,1.8ghz and 2.0ghz
[18:48] <harlemdavvey1> my firefox is crazy.. is incredibly slow sometimes and it has the big problem when you do CTRL+T  that the tab that comes out, has the same address you typed on the previous tab you opened.. what can it be?
[18:48] <nightrid3r> emendo: #ubuntustudio
[18:48] <unop> legate, cd is not an external executable that sudo can invoke .. cd is shell builtin command
[18:49] <erUSUL> puremichael: that are the only freq your cpu supports
[18:49] <gpled> my cdrom drive shows, with no cd in it.  thought my floppy would be the same
[18:49] <emendo> nightrid3r: will they help resolve a mic problem?
[18:49] <harlemdavvey1> plus, always my firefox, has not the availability to use the "go back" button .. i have never seen like this xD
[18:49] <erUSUL> puremichael: mine only support that 3 too
[18:49] <Zoli> helló
[18:49] <ext4-issues1>  by mistake converted my /home to ext4, without researching much, is there a way I can use it? its not being mounted, with -t ext4 I get unknown filesystem and with ext2 or ext3, I get bad fs type. Should I try januty jackapole?
[18:49] <puremichael> erUSUL, huh? i got more different ones in windows o_O
[18:49] <legate> unop: And is there a possibility to circumvent cd?
[18:49] <adam> question: I would like to create a ubuntu live/install of my current configuration, is there a tool for this?
[18:49] <nightrid3r> emendo: they are into multimedia on ubuntu so i guess they will know more
[18:49] <ubuntu_is_dabest> it seems like my apache2 cannot write (read-only) any files on the filesystem
[18:50] <emendo> nightrid3r: Thank you I will try.
[18:50] <hwilde> legate, chown the mountpoint of your fedora partition to your current user.
[18:50] <ubuntu_is_dabest> how to allow it ?
[18:50] <erUSUL> puremichael: run cpufreq-info
[18:50] <kao> adam: remastersys
[18:50] <unop> legate, 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 shell
[18:50] <hwilde> unop, he needs to change the permissions on the mountpoint.
[18:50] <adam> !remastersys | adam
[18:51] <nightrid3r> ubuntu_is_dabest: man chown and man chmod
[18:51] <laeg> i captured my mouse cursor in a vbox running behind this irssi window and now i can't get to the window to unlock it, how do i bring up the vbox window?
[18:51] <gonzojive> my 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 emacs
[18:51] <legate> hwilde: How do I do that? Actually, both my ubuntu and fedora profile are on a separate home partition.
[18:51] <unop> legate, you could do something like this instead.   sudo bash -c "cd somewhere/ && bash"
[18:51] <adam> kao: thanks
[18:51] <nightrid3r> laeg: right ctrl button
[18:51] <hwilde> legate, sudo chown <youruser> /mountpoint
[18:51] <bullgard4> ifconfig returns 4 times "Link encap". What is meant by 'link encap'? link encapsulation?ẞ Why is this important?
[18:51] <hwilde> unop, that would just cd him into a directory where he has no permissions :/
[18:52] <laeg> nightrid3r: yes this unlocks the mouse but only when the vbox window is active, which it's not :(
[18:52] <hwilde> bullgard4, that is what type of encapsulation the packets have, typically Ethernet.  or Local loopback
[18:52] <laeg> nightrid3r: i tried alt+tab but it won't move from the irssi input line
[18:52] <unop> hwilde,  errm .. bash there will be running as the superuser ..
[18:52] <__^^stefan^^__> did you guys ever experienced a 8.04 server x64 install that failed at grub install ?
[18:53] <legate> hwilde: It works, thank you very much! :)
[18:53] <Bodsda> bazhang, cheers mate, works a charm
[18:53] <hwilde> legate, fyi it was owned as root before so its just a permission issue
[18:53] <gonzojive> any advice on how to debug backspace not working over SSH?
[18:54] <gonzojive> it doesn't work in emacs but works on the command prompt
[18:54] <erUSUL> gonzojive: term type ? what does "echo $TERM" returns ?
[18:54] <hwilde> gonzojive, /join #emacs
[18:54] <bazhang> Bodsda, nice :)
[18:54] <Bodsda> :)

[18:57] <puremichael> erUSUL, 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 think
[18:57] <bullgard4> hwilde: 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] <s0101> my 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 prob
[18:57] <kao> oCean_:This same thing happens to me also, with the Firefox crashing on Flash. How do I find out what flashplugin I am using?
[18:57] <chumbo> oCean_: dont no how do i see that??
[18:58] <Bodsda> hey bazhang -- still got a slight problem, im using the restricted driver but my screen res is capped at 800x600 -- any ideas what to try?
[18:58] <gonzojive> unop: thanks for that link
[18:58] <ubuntu_is_dabest> nightrid3r: is chmod +rw wwwvar  the right syntax?
[18:58] <oCean_> kao: chumbo: see "ls -al /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin" It's a link
[18:58] <hwilde> bullgard4, it doesnt really matter - what is not working for you?
[18:58] <s0101> after my upgrade to 8.10 my highest res is 640*480
[18:58] <erUSUL> puremichael: well afaics you can only change what governor to use (ondemand in my case)
[18:58] <bazhang> Bodsda, did you install nvidia-settings ?
[18:58] <bazhang> !info nvidia-settings
[18:59] <oCean_> kao: chumbo: so, mine is a link to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
[18:59] <Bodsda> bazhang, no... i suppose i should have done?
[18:59] <kao> oCean_:libflashplayer.so
[18:59] <nightrid3r> ubuntu_is_dabest: chmod -R +rw /var/www
[18:59] <bazhang>  Bodsda worked for me :)
[18:59] <unop> nightrid3r, not a good idea that
[18:59] <Bodsda> bazhang, hmm, i seem to remember this being less 'round the houses' in hardy
[18:59] <kao> oCean_:Mine is the Same
[18:59] <puremichael> erUSUL, thanks.... now i think i've been fooled with the processor :-) but how could windows adjust it so nicely? i could see it gradualy increasing/decreasing
[19:00] <kao> oCean_:/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
[19:00] <bullgard4> hwilde: In contrast to your opinion it does matter. --  My T42 does not thaw properly after resuming it in a local Ubuntu club and thawing it in my LAN at home.
[19:00] <s0101> is a reinstall of the system my only option?
[19:00] <Bodsda> bazhang, ah, my xorg.conf file says im not using nvidia x diver -- should the driver be 'nv' or 'nvidia'?
[19:00] <unop> ubuntu_is_dabest,  have a look at the apache moduserdir module - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_userdir.html
[19:00] <hwilde> bullgard4, thaw?  like it was frozen ?
[19:00] <oCean_> kao: Ah, I see... well, that plugin was for me the solution to work with all flash pages
[19:00] <ubuntu_is_dabest> hm, the chmod is successful, but somehow apache2 still fail to write file
[19:00] <bullgard4> hwilde: In contrast to your opinion it does matter. --  My T42 does not thaw properly after hibernating it in a local Ubuntu club and thawing it in my LAN at home.
[19:00] <bazhang> Bodsda, not sure if that is used at all anymore in intrepid
[19:00] <ryanCH> what package name do i install the java command line compiler and runtime with aptitude?
[19:00] <bullgard4> hwilde: Yes.
[19:01] <bullgard4> hwilde: Never heard of?
[19:01] <hwilde> bullgard4, that is a condensation/electrical issue and has nothing to do with the encapsulation
[19:01] <Bodsda> bazhang, could i get a look at your xorg if you dont mind please
[19:01] <erUSUL> puremichael: maybe the windows app just fooled you ;P dunno really maybe the windows app just pretende to be more fine grained that it really was
[19:01] <unop> ryanCH,  sun-java6-jre  and sun-java6-jdk  perhaps
[19:01] <bullgard4> hwilde: Your Linux education is insufficient. --  Thanks for a nice try.
[19:02] <bazhang> Bodsda, should say 'nvidia' according to mine
[19:02] <chumbo> oCean_: well i think it is cool now thanks! =)
[19:02] <hwilde> bullgard4, guaranteed your problem has nothing to do with link encap.
[19:02] <Droopsta915> can someone help me create a pidgin account. I seem to be doing something wrong
[19:02] <bazhang> bullgard4, please take chat elsewhere
[19:02] <Bodsda> bazhang, cheers :)
[19:02] <bullgard4> bazhang: This is no chat. Please read before you judge.
[19:03] <bazhang> bullgard4, I have read.
[19:03] <ryanCH> unop, one more question, how do you decrypt a file with mcrypt?
[19:03] <bazhang> bullgard4, thus I advise you to take it elsewhere.
[19:03] <Bodsda> bazhang, ermm, my xorg is empty -- would   dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   refill it?
[19:03] <s0101> anybody with the same problem with desktop size on ubuntu8.10?
[19:03] <unop> ryanCH, hmm, i have no idea -- doesn't it have any documentation/manpages?
[19:04] <Mood> is it normal to have sudo as a process using 85% of my CPU?
[19:04] <bazhang> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg Bodsda
[19:04] <unop> Bodsda, not anymore .. the new Xorg is supposed to be auto-configuring i.e. it doesn't need a xorg.conf
[19:04] <erUSUL> Mood: nope
[19:04] <bazhang> Bodsda, to update it that is
[19:04] <estudiante> Hello
[19:05] <Mood> erUSUL: if i see sudo in the background, what does that mean?
[19:05] <Tweak66> hi estudian
[19:05] <Bodsda> bazhang, ok, now i have a minimalistic xorg.conf :)
[19:05] <estudiante> Tweak66: :) Hello there
[19:05] <Bodsda> unop, ok, so how would i go about configuring things? im capped at 800x600 res
[19:05] <unop> Bodsda, you'll have to populate the file yourself
[19:05] <erUSUL> Mood: dunno really just kill the process
[19:05] <Dinand_Mentink> Hello. I have problems getting my broadxom 4311 wireless card working with ubuntu 8.10. Is there someone who can guide me to fix it?
[19:05] <s0101> me to
[19:05] <Dinand_Mentink> I've been trying for days now
[19:05] <Mood> i started noticing sudo taking up most of my CPU after i installed nmap
[19:05] <Bodsda> unop, hmm, ok cheers
[19:05] <bazhang> !broadcom
[19:06] <Dinand_Mentink> Yeah. I've tried that one...
[19:06] <s0101> my highest res is 640*480and it says screen unknown
[19:06] <ikt> how do you know if you have 8.04.2 ?
[19:06] <bazhang> !version | ikt
[19:06] <s0101> screen has worked perfect before
[19:06] <Tweak66> can the new 2.7 kernel be used with 8.1 ubuntu?
[19:06] <unop> Bodsda, man 5 xorg.conf  # could help you .. also, you could take an example xorg.conf and modify it for your needs
[19:07] <ikt> cheers
[19:07] <kao> Is the Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG adapter functional OTB with Ubuntu?
[19:07] <Bodsda> unop, where can i find an example file?
[19:07] <bazhang> Tweak66, not supported, likely will break things
[19:07] <Dinand_Mentink> That guide you gave me only is for versions up to hardy
[19:07] <erUSUL> kao: it should be
[19:07] <Tweak66> k
[19:07] <estudiante> Does all the logs  in "/var/log/ are overwritten on each boot. So, if I see that one has a modify date set to today, it links to the last Linux boot, right? I'm asking, mostly about Kernel-like logs.
[19:07] <bazhang> Dinand_Mentink, the fw-cutter?
[19:07] <unop> Bodsda, no ill intent.  google :)
[19:08] <kao> erUSUL: Thank you very much. I have this wifi card and have not tried to use it yet, only using wired in a rural area.
[19:08] <Bodsda> unop, hah, ok, no probs cheers
[19:08] <hwilde> estudiante, it should append to the same log, until they are rotated, then change to log.1 and log.2 and so forth
[19:08] <ubuntu_is_dabest> someone help please, the apache2 still cannot write files (through a php script)
[19:08] <bazhang> Dinand_Mentink, dont have broadcom here but that should work with intrepid as well
[19:08] <Borbosha> Hello, I am having a problem with Ubuntu Server 8.04 where I can't access the Internet. I have a static IP set and can resolve DNS. I am also able to ping the gateway. Any ideas?
[19:08] <s0101> 8.10 is crap
[19:08] <guido_> hi, i am using the 8.10 alternative installation disc, on about 3/4th of the installation it says Media Change: Please insert the disc labelled
[19:08] <hwilde> Borbosha, can you try dhcp just for kicks
[19:08] <TheMusicGuy> Help please; I keep getting logged out for no reason.
[19:08] <unop> ubuntu_is_dabest, you have to set www-data (the user apache runs under) as the owner of the said file
[19:08] <bazhang> s0101, please take that elsewhere
[19:09] <Borbosha> hwilde, 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] <Tweak66> yeah 8.1 is awesome
[19:09] <cbilljones> i like 8.10 specially the new usb startup utility :)
[19:09] <s0101> i would preffer to say great but i have been struggeling with screen res for 2 days
[19:09] <kao> I have wasted almost 4 gb of bandwidth trying to dl 8.10 and every time I try to boot the disk I get CRC errors...
[19:09] <estudiante> hwilde: When i check for a one from today, I need to scan the entire file for the date or just tail -f it, right?
[19:09] <ubuntu_is_dabest> unop: i set them already through chmod
[19:09] <kao> I will stick with Hardy
[19:09] <bazhang> s0101, ask for help then, but complaining wont fix it
[19:09] <cbilljones> use bittorrent to download the iso
[19:10] <kao> cbilljones: I have
[19:10] <cbilljones> it has built in hashcheck
[19:10] <unop> ubuntu_is_dabest, no, chmod only changes permissions - not ownership .. you want chown
[19:10] <kao> Thats all I have used to download it
[19:10] <s0101> plz help me
[19:10] <cbilljones> hmm
[19:10] <hwilde> Borbosha, yeah so did it work when you had dhcp
[19:10] <bazhang> s0101, what driver what card and how installed
[19:10] <Tweak66> just state the question
[19:10] <kao> uTorrent on 3 different windoze boxes and Transmission on 2 Ubuntu boxes
[19:10] <|x\> Irc.liberty-ever C'est le meilleur tchat !
[19:10] <Borbosha> It was working when I first installed it with DHCP, yes.
[19:10] <picca> anyone here installed openoffice 3.0 and found the fonts are not consistent with gnome?
[19:10] <ubuntu_is_dabest> please detail me a bit more, if u don't mind, i don't geti t
[19:10] <ubuntu_is_dabest> it
[19:10] <bazhang> |x\, dont advertise here
[19:10] <phorensic1> kao: I use ktorrent myself
[19:11] <|x\>  oueoppppp
[19:11] <|x\> proxy
[19:11] <Mood> anyone know if installing nmap automatically starts port scanning my localhost?
[19:11] <|x\> XD
[19:11] <Borbosha> hwilde, I have another 8.04 box with the exact same network settings (different IP only) and it has no problems.
[19:11] <Dinand_Mentink> Nope
[19:11] <bazhang> |x\, stop
[19:11] <elmnas> hi does someone know a netlimiter in linux?
[19:11] <s0101> nividia driver 173.14.12 card gee force 6100
[19:11] <Dinand_Mentink> I don have fwcutter
[19:11] <phorensic1> hey bazhang whats up
[19:11] <estudiante> hwilde: Got disconnected, sorry.
[19:11] <unop> ubuntu_is_dabest,  chown has a manpage - which you should refer to to understand what this does.   sudo chown www-data /var/www/yourfile
[19:12] <hwilde> estudiante, look at /var/log/syslog and search for the restarts
[19:12] <Dinand_Mentink> I tried the fwcutter. DIdn work. ALso tried all propriearity drivers. And I tried the wicd network manager
[19:12] <puremichael> erUSUL, after a restart it works fine; switches immediately between max/min; thanks for your help
[19:12] <kao> cbilljones: Do you have any Ideas on why this would happen?
[19:12] <guido_> i have this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-installer/+bug/274396 anyone know a workaround?
[19:12] <wolter> how do i make the system to look for binaries at ~/bin ?
[19:12] <erUSUL> puremichael: no problem
[19:12] <s0101> nividia driver 173.14.12 card gee force 6100
[19:12] <erUSUL> wolter: add it to your path variable edit ~/.bashrc
[19:12] <Jack_Sparrow> s0101 That is  the right driver for that card
[19:12] <cbilljones> kao: im at a loss, bittorent should resole that issue
[19:13] <bazhang> s0101, did you install nvidia-settings
[19:13] <oCean_> ubuntu_is_dabest: what is the error you're getting?
[19:13] <estudiante> hwilde: Good hint, thanks :)
[19:13] <Jack_Sparrow> s0101 But once you try to use the 180 from nvidia it makes a mess
[19:13] <kao> cbilljones: YES, This is what I thought. I do not understand it. Thats why I thought that maybe it was the burner on the first pc.
[19:13] <unop> wolter,  i believe ubuntu already has that setup .. it's just a matter of logging out and logging back in
[19:13] <erUSUL> wolter: sorry it is in ~/.profile not in ~/.bashrc
[19:13] <kao> cbilljones: So I tried it on many other machines and had the same results
[19:13] <hwilde> estudiante, then look at /var/log/syslog.0 or .1 and so forth
[19:13] <unop> wolter, i.e. if your just created ~/bin
[19:13] <cbilljones> youve tried with another burner though?
[19:13] <estudiante> hwilde: The trick works only with syslog?
[19:14] <kao> cbilljones: So, Im assuming it has to do with the pc that I am trying to install it on..
[19:14] <s0101> some guy here told me how to install the drivers from konsole
[19:14] <cbilljones> kao: when do you get the error?
[19:14] <hwilde> estudiante, just look at the timestamps that will help you figure out when they are from
[19:14] <wolter> unop, i dont know.. intrepid doesn't seem to have it.
[19:14] <s0101> sudo aptitude install envyng-core
[19:14] <kao> cbilljones: Before splash screen even comes up during LiveCD boot.
[19:14] <wolter> erUSUL, so i have to relog for it to work, right?
[19:14] <kao> cbilljones: Right after I set keyboard layout and language
[19:14] <ubuntu_is_dabest> unop: ok, i chown the files already from root:nogroup, into root:root ownership, is it what i supposed to do?
[19:15] <cbilljones> kao: have you tested the disc on another machine?
[19:15] <oCean_> ubuntu_is_dabest: probably not
[19:15] <kao> cbilljones: No =/ I havent
[19:15] <estudiante> hwilde: thanks again
[19:15] <Pindakaas> emerald doesn't work after upgrading ubuntu :(
[19:15] <unop> ubuntu_is_dabest, no,  you want  www-data  to own the file
[19:15] <s0101> to be honnest i am not to sure what version i had before this updae to 8.10
[19:15] <Mood> is it normal to have "sudo" as a standalone process?
[19:15] <oCean_> ubuntu_is_dabest: if you want to allow a certain process to write to a file, that file should have permissions for the process owner to write. e.g. www-data for the apache2 process
[19:15] <bazhang> kao, you did the md5? and burned very slowly, doing the disk integrity check afterwards?
[19:15] <phorensic1> Pindakaas: Doesn't work? Can you be more specific?? Did you re-try emerald --replace ?
[19:15] <cbilljones> kao: so there error is during the install?
[19:15] <estudiante> s0101: Probably 7.10...
[19:16] <s0101> no 8.04
[19:16] <s0101> 100 procent sure
[19:16] <kao> bazhang: I checked every time and it was always non matching Md5s
[19:16] <s0101> hardy heron it worked perfect until yeastarday
[19:16] <Pindakaas> if I try emerald --replace nothing happens
[19:16] <estudiante> s0101: Ah, right...
[19:16] <ubuntu_is_dabest> owww i get it, i should sync it with the one on apache2/envvars user:group ?
[19:16] <bazhang> kao, this is the live cd correct? non matching md5 means a corrupt iso
[19:16] <estudiante> s0101: What happened now?
[19:17] <kao> bazhang: I downloaded the iso many times using multiple different Torrent Clients.
[19:17]  * Tweak66 never bothers with md5sum
[19:17] <phorensic1> Pindakaas: Will the emeraldn manager open?
[19:17] <z-e> how to setup proxy for java ?
[19:17] <kao> bazhang: It always gets improper MD5
[19:17] <bazhang> kao, the livecd?
[19:17] <s0101> after i canceled a big system update and restarted it said that the comp has to run on low resolution
[19:17] <kao> bazhang:I have tried to download Alternate Install disk as well as LiveCD
[19:17] <bazhang> kao, the alternate may fare better when the live cd chokes
[19:17] <Pindakaas> phorensic1: yes, but once I select my theme it hangs
[19:17] <s0101> and my desktop grow quite a few inches
[19:18] <estudiante> s0101: have you tried "dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg" ?
[19:18] <s0101> no
[19:18] <phorensic1> Pindakaas: hmmmm I suppose you can try a reinstall?
[19:18] <kao> bazhang: I am starting to think it is my Network connection causing these corruptions...
[19:18] <ubuntu_is_dabest> yihaa, it works, thanks
[19:18] <estudiante> s0101: What Video Card do you have?
[19:18] <lilendian_G> woot woot!
[19:19] <phorensic1> s0101: You may also try gksudo nvidia-settings
[19:19] <knut> does anybody know a gui-app that synchronises data between laptop and desktop-pc
[19:19] <bazhang> kao, have you tried with quiet and splash removed as kernel parameters to see the exact errorss?
[19:19] <kao> bazhang: No I have not.
[19:19] <bazhang> kao, that would help a lot I imagine
[19:19] <s0101> http://pastebin.com/m63c3d16e
[19:20] <kao> bazhang: It always shows the errors anyway. CRC Error and many Numbers
[19:20] <Pindakaas> phorensic1: Reinstalling emerald didn't work, but I'm planning on reainstalling ubuntu anyways
[19:20] <bieb> what is the best way to "rdesktop" to an ubuntu PC?
[19:20] <lilendian_G> wolter, finally. got it fixed. But now I have this one problem, I cant log back in to my own user because it gives off an 'no input supported' error
[19:20] <cbilljones> kao, i would download another torrent, and force recheck when its done, and of course anything bazhang recommends lol
[19:20] <s0101> i already checked out gksudo nvidia-settings
[19:20] <phorensic1> Pindakaas: thats funky, it doesn't give any error?
[19:20] <lilendian_G> Is there a bleeping config file I can edit to fix my resolution settings?
[19:20] <kao> cbilljones: hehe, Thank you for your help!
[19:20] <gerber> need help sharing files from ubuntu to window xp
[19:20] <wolter> lilendian_G, wait, how did you fix it?
[19:20] <bazhang> gerber, using samba?
[19:20] <wolter> lilendian_G, and, you can't log in?
[19:20] <cbilljones> kao, np seems im over my head here lol
[19:21] <s0101> maybe i was looking for the wrong info
[19:21] <gerber> how samba /
[19:21] <kao> bazhang: Thank you too for the help, I will try to download it again tonight, My ISP is a Cellular Modem and is only max download 140KB/s
[19:21] <gerber> need help all the way
[19:21] <oCean_> s0101: it's "dpkg-reconfigure" , one word
[19:21] <Pindakaas> phorensic1: Funky indeed, no errors
[19:21] <bazhang> kao, if all that fails  you may wish to try the minimal iso (9mb) and build from there
[19:21] <puff> I have a 320 GB drive which has an ubuntu hardy install on it, with one big LVM partition.
[19:21] <lilendian_G> well, turns out that the wrong kernel interface was installed. and I had it all mixed up- All i really had to do was uninstall that and once again reinstall the binary nvidia drivers.
[19:22] <jacekowski> i'm looking for somebody who knows something about samsung officeserv telephone exchanges
[19:22] <kao> bazhang: Is there a tutorial on this somewhere?
[19:22] <puff> We yanked this out of a machine and reubuilt it as (ugh) centos.  However, the mysql dump is giving us issues on import in the new machine.
[19:22] <phorensic1> oCean_: does reconfiguring xorg even work with the nvidia drivers installed, I was under the impression that it didn't
[19:22] <lilendian_G> I had done it so many times, I actually lost track of it - and the last time I did uninstall it, it hadn't completed before I terminated the process.
[19:22] <puff> Waht are the odds that I'll be able to plug the old drive into a different case/mb/memory and have it work?
[19:22] <gerber> need someone who is good in network
[19:22] <bazhang> kao, on the minimal? it is quite self explanatory and uses a ncurses based installer iirc
[19:22] <shubbar> I don't see Hardware Drivers under System > Administration.
[19:23] <kao> bazhang: because in order to get my Cell Phone to work as a modem I have to modprobe visor and add a bunch of scripts. and have pppd. Will this be possible on the Minimal Installer?
[19:23] <gerber> need help sharing files from ubuntu to window xp
[19:23] <shubbar> how can i return it?
[19:23] <bazhang> !samba | gerber check here first
[19:23] <lilendian_G> wolter, 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] <bieb> how can I connect to an ubuntu box remotely like 'rdesktop" in win
[19:23] <lilendian_G> Where'd I go to change that?
[19:23] <oCean_> bieb: use vnc
[19:23] <lilendian_G> i believe its the one set from gnome-display-settings
[19:23] <s0101> here we go what should i do in dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xorg
[19:23] <oCean_> bieb: you'll need a vnc server on one machine and a viewer on the client machine
[19:23] <bieb> oCean_: vnc or tightvnc?
[19:24] <bazhang> kao, okay not sure about that installation method, that sounds problematic with the minimal
[19:24] <wolter> lilendian_G, are you logging into another user?
[19:24] <phorensic1> s0101: Like oCean_ said its dpkg-reconfigure no spaces
[19:24] <kao> bazhang: Yes, it is annoying :(
[19:24] <wolter> lilendian_G, oh
[19:24] <Necrosan> OK, here is my problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/109972/
[19:24] <s0101> i am in
[19:24] <lilendian_G> yeah, i've had two users. this is just a temporary one though.
[19:24] <s0101> next?
[19:24] <Necrosan> can anyone help me fix that? thanks.
[19:24] <s0101> i have the blue screen
[19:24] <wolter> lilendian_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 stuff
[19:24] <phorensic1> s0101: Go through the process
[19:25] <s0101> ok
[19:25] <wolter> lilendian_G, then try to log into your old user
[19:25] <lilendian_G> wolter, yeah, but what? i've already looked in .gnome2 and gnome2_private.
[19:25] <oCean_> bieb: in the ubuntu repos are vnc4server and vnc4client
[19:25] <bieb> ok cool
[19:25] <lilendian_G> nothing in there that remotely registers with screen resolution / x config
[19:26] <estudiante> s0101: Sorry, it was "dpkg-reconfigure", no space.
[19:26] <s0101> why does it ask me about my keyboard?
[19:26] <phorensic1> s0101: 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 it
[19:26] <phorensic1> s0101: Its just part of the process
[19:26] <wolter> lilendian_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/backup
[19:26] <wolter> lilendian_G, and relog/log
[19:27] <wolter> lilendian_G, the system will create a default configuration for you
[19:27] <phorensic1> s0101: Xorg saved keyboard information mouse information and screen information, most importantly the screen configuration settings
[19:27] <s0101> oki process is done now
[19:27] <zimbres> Why my xterm is much slower than a console terminal?
[19:27] <phorensic1> s0101: Did it ask anything about configuring your monitor?
[19:28] <s0101> yes
[19:28] <slipst> totem is full screen when I start it and it won't go to normal mode. any ideas on how to fix it?
[19:28] <s0101> and after that about keyboard
[19:28] <plazia> is 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] <kao> Thank you Everyone who has helped me
[19:28] <kao> Bye
[19:28] <phorensic1> s0101: Ok give it a try, do ctrl-alt-bckspce to re-log in.
[19:28] <s0101> ok
[19:29] <bieb> oCean_: what I am trying to do is replace my Win (at work) box with Ubuntu. I will have to run win in vmware or something, need the win server tools for administration of exchange and other things.  So VNC should be my best way to remote in and open vmware from home to do admin work?
[19:29] <AJC_Z0> slipst: Is it full screen or just filling the screen? Do you see window decorations?
[19:29] <plazia> ah it's cat /etc/issue :)
[19:29] <Skipity> Can anyone one help me find support on my realtek alc883 sound card and Ubuntu Server 8.10
[19:29] <Iyunkateus> Hey, I was wondering, is there a way to store terminal commands in an executable file? Like, is there some kind of Ubuntu (or Linux in general) equivalent of a batch file?
[19:30] <plazia> Iyunkateus, you can save them to a .sh shell script
[19:30] <Iyunkateus> Thanks
[19:30] <plazia> then execute them sequentially.
[19:30] <AJC_Z0> Iyunkateus: The shell you use for commands is that you use for scripts
[19:31] <oCean_> bieb: that should work
[19:31] <bieb> oCean_: how familiar are you with vmware?
[19:31] <slipst> AJC_Z0, this is how it looks like when I start it http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/362/screenshotyk7.png
[19:31] <guido_> i have this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-installer/+bug/274396 anyone know a workaround?
[19:31] <hoban> does anyone happen to know the linux equivalent to "fcscan"? (Fibre Channel Device Scan Utility)
[19:31] <Skipity> i've read done alot from the forums and not much has helped its a realtek alc883
[19:31] <oCean_> bieb: have vmware-server v200 running
[19:32] <bieb> cool
[19:32] <wolter> erUSUL, hm.. it seems that intrepid works on a whole new way with that .bashrc
[19:32] <Tweak66> i heard that you can defragment an ext3 filesystem.. anyone know if this is true or how to do it
[19:32] <Necrosan> OK, here is my problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/109972/
[19:32] <Necrosan> can anyone help me fix that? thanks.
[19:32] <phorensic1> oCean_: is vmware the one that now is a web based service?
[19:32] <bazhang> Tweak66, not necessary
[19:32] <bieb> how can I share a directory between ubuntu and the host? How about peripherals (printers, usb)?
[19:32] <wolter> erUSUL, 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] <oCean_> bieb: comes with great admin interface, which before only was in the paid versions. Let me give you a link..
[19:32] <phorensic1> oCean_: well I mean is managed through a web interface
[19:32] <zerotj> boa tarde a todos
[19:32] <bieb> great
[19:33] <zimbres> Why my xterm is much slower than a console terminal?
[19:33] <zerotj> tem alguém aqui que fale em portuguës....
[19:33] <oCean_> phorensic1: bieb, yes admin interface indeed :)
[19:33] <bazhang> !pt
[19:33] <oCean_> phorensic1: web i mean :)
[19:33] <sachael> huston, we have a problem - ubuntu installation has halted at "Resizing partition". It says "please wait" but stays at 0%
[19:33] <zerotj> blz

[19:34] <diensthunds> who's done work on setting up a wifi ap?
[19:34] <phorensic1> oCean_: I found it to be odd, I was used to the normal interface and also virtualbox
[19:34] <bazhang> sachael, how long and what size partition
[19:35] <TakeABow> Hi all, complete linux noob here. Would it be easy enough to install some sort of httpd, mySQL, memcached and the following PHP extensions (GB, mb_string, mcrypt, memcache, mysqli) on Ubuntu Desktop 8.04?
[19:35] <sachael> bazhang, it turns out it was working, just didn't update the screen
[19:35] <bieb> oCean_: you find that link??
[19:35] <oCean_> phorensic1: sure, vbox will work too
[19:35] <oCean_> bieb: one moment :)
[19:35] <bieb> k
[19:35] <AJC_Z0> slipst: And when you press that "Leave Fullscreen" button?
[19:36] <slipst> AJC_Z0, it still looks like that :) nothing happens.

[19:37] <oCean_> bieb: I seem to have lost that bookmark somehow :(
[19:37] <buters> yes but how  i can add this
[19:37] <zimbres> bieb, You mean add a channel to you irc client?

[19:38] <bazhang> buters, in xchat, konversation or what
[19:38] <lilendian> wolter, apparently the only file I had to delete was ~/.config/display.xml - something along those lines.
[19:38] <zimbres> bieb, are you using xchat?
[19:38] <bieb> zimbres: pidgin
[19:38] <lilendian> Found it while I was trying to figure out which file I'd need to back up. :D
[19:39] <buters> no just add ubuntu fr
[19:39] <wolter> lilendian, so it works now?
[19:39] <DawnLight> diensthunds: are you having problems with it?
[19:39] <danishjordan> lackS: Are you here?
[19:39] <ronny> anyone?
[19:39] <bazhang> buters, you need to tell us your chat client
[19:39] <lilendian> yep, am back home, baby! :}
[19:39] <AJC_Z0> slipst: In that case i have no idea. I don't use totem. I prefer xine and mplayer and vlc
[19:39] <buters> sorry but i dont understand what do you tell
[19:39] <slipst> AJC_Z0, yeah me too, but it's still annoying
[19:40] <bieb> buters: what irc client are you using?

[19:42] <thebloggu> nvidia
[19:42] <bieb> oCean_: will I be able to share the USB printer between ubuntu and the guest OS?
[19:42] <phorensic1> thebloggu: Do you have the restricted drivers for nvidia installed and in use?
[19:42] <thebloggu> phorensic, yes
[19:42] <oCean_> bieb: yep
[19:42] <bieb> cool
[19:43] <phorensic1> thebloggu: if you open the settings manager it should have an option for it: gksudo nvidia-settings
[19:43] <hareldvd> ssmtp crashes with segment violation (SIGSEGV). Had similar problem on Gentoo. Current version seems to be bad. Any idea about the bug?
[19:43] <diensthunds> Dawn problem is a laptop can recognize the connection and get the dns and ip ok but can't get the bridge between my internal net and exteral web working, nor can i get my psp to recognize the ap point
[19:43] <thebloggu> phorensic, yes, but i can only set it to enlarge the workspace 1 and cant make it work on workspace 2 for example
[19:44] <bieb> which version of Ubuntu should I use? I have run 7.10, should I go 8.04 or 8.10? what issues are out there for either?
[19:44] <Tweak66> bieb: go 8.10 all the way
[19:44] <thebloggu> phorensic1, yes, but i can only set it to enlarge the workspace 1 and cant make it work on workspace 2 for example
[19:45] <phorensic1> thebloggu: hmmmm Im not quite sure what you mean. Is the second monitor functioning?
[19:45] <bieb> Tweak66: ok.. are there any issues I should be aware of??
[19:45] <Tweak66> bieb: I don't think so. I'm running it perfectly :)
[19:45] <bieb> sounds good
[19:46] <marry> I have a problem..
[19:46] <thebloggu> phorensic1, yes. normally linux has 4 workspaces, right (you can have more or less) ? i want to use my primary monitor in workspace 1 and the second on the workspace on the right
[19:46] <MethinX> I have a networking question if someone has the time to help me...
[19:47] <Mcrocker> hello
[19:47] <marry> when I watch streaming videos from firefox I cannot play any music or video in my hard. but when I close firefox and try to play it goes well. Anyway to fix this?
[19:47] <hoban> does anyone happen to know the linux equivalent to "fcscan"? (Fibre Channel Device Scan Utility, shows HBA statistics and the like)
[19:48] <phorensic1> thebloggu: well, having two monitors makes the desktop count as both of the monitors.. although this shouldn't be a problem, the only thing is you just need to mouse over to that screen instead of clicking on the workspace
[19:48] <MethinX> is it better to have a Server computer installed and 2 networked computers that are running off the server? or better to not include tthe server at all?
[19:48] <phorensic1> MethinX: What do you mean by better, it depends what you are trying to do i guess
[19:49] <thebloggu> phorensic1, hmm
[19:49] <snollux> hi! Why do I get "nautilus cannot display network: locations" when I go to Network in the Places tab?

[19:49] <Joelito> hi all, what's the name of the package to browse perldoc from GUI like in dev-help?
[19:49] <snollux> does the same with Computer and Trash
[19:49] <phorensic1> thebloggu: when you open/max a window for example on one screen it should stick to that monitor unless you want to drag it across both
[19:49] <hanasaki> is this the right channel for conversatinos on jaunty?
[19:50] <rsa_md5> umm I made an aptoncd image, is there any way I can add the packages in that to another ubuntu system without actually burning the image onto a cd?
[19:50] <EagleScreen> negative, for jaunty go to #ubuntu+1
[19:50] <phorensic1> hanasaki: should be +1
[19:50] <maestrojed> I have a directory /media/OSnet/www/test/ I want to create a symlink it. The alias should be /home/test/public_html/ I tried "sudo ln -s /media/OSnet/www/test /home/test/public_html" but I get a "No such file or directory" error. Can anyone help me?
[19:50] <thebloggu> phorensic1, yeah, i know
[19:50] <hanasaki> thanks
[19:51] <phorensic1> thebloggu: I guess Im not sure then what you are trying to do, other than seperate one monitor for each workspace artificially using the workspace buttons? What is the advantage of this?
[19:51] <werdnum> maestrojed: cd /home/test; ln -s /media/OSnet/www/test public_html
[19:51] <t35t0r> is there some way to change the mouse scroll wheel rate for all windows with scroll bars (e.g. with gconf-editor)?

[19:53] <thebloggu> phorensic1, as well as pypanel on the bottom going through the two monitors rather than only primary

[19:54] <pasquale> per andare sul canale italiano
[19:54] <phorensic1> thebloggu: I see, Im not sure then, I though it made a primary and secondary within nvidia-settings somehow.. Im currently using a big screen instead of dualies like I used to
[19:54] <phorensic1> LordMetroid: Uname -r
[19:54] <LordMetroid> thank you
[19:55] <commander_> hello fam
[19:55] <LordMetroid> How then do I install the latest kernel?
[19:55] <wigren> noon: What file system is it formatted in?
[19:55] <noon> wigren, ext3
[19:55] <diensthunds> lord uname -a should tell you
[19:56] <Tweak66> LordMetroid: just use system update :)
[19:56] <diensthunds> lord you want latest stock kernel or latest ubuntu kernel
[19:56] <phorensic1> LordMetroid: An update should do it as far as the latest stable kernel that is
[19:56] <LordMetroid> The latest kernel, I am going to attempt to correct a bug
[19:56] <diensthunds> what bug?
[19:56] <LordMetroid> a FAT32 rename of filename bug
[19:57] <LordMetroid> https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/315782

[20:00] <marry> when I watch streaming videos from firefox I cannot play any music or video in my hard. but when I close firefox and try to play it goes well. Anyway to fix this??
[20:00] <ATAT> what do i have to add to fstab so that when everythime it ask me to open to ask for password
[20:00] <helpdesk|vb> wigren: ok, but a reboot in most cases will do it

[20:02] <linduxed> is there a way to eliminate the static white noise i get from my mic?
[20:02] <quentin> hey guys =)
[20:02] <noon> gerber, right click the folder you wish to share and allow sharing. it should prompt you to install samba if you dont have it already
[20:03] <elmnas> hi guys, how do I remote a file protected file -->? rm: remove write-protected regular file `gspcav1-20071224/.tmp_versions/gspca.mod'?
[20:03] <gerber> yes i do have samba
[20:03] <diensthunds> rm -r elmnas
[20:03] <elmnas> I tried..
[20:03] <diensthunds> do it as root?
[20:03] <elmnas> I tried
[20:03] <linduxed> id guess the white noise comes from having the mic boost cranked up to max, but then again if i turn mic boost off i cant be heard at all
[20:04] <diensthunds> is it one that is stuck in the recylce bin?
[20:04] <elmnas> fixed it
[20:04] <elmnas> thanks :)
[20:04] <elmnas> brb
[20:04] <hypercity> \i'vd ativated bicubic filter in the compiz options and now i get only a black screen , how can i desactivat'it?

[20:04] <mfdavid> Hil. I would like to share a directory with my other machine (running Debian). I would like to avoid the use o samba and windows protocols. How can I do that? I hate samba...
[20:05] <gerber> need help to use samba
[20:05] <gerber> i can even find it ?
[20:05] <quentin> Hey whats the program that puts the terminal on your desktop
[20:05] <erUSUL> mfdavid: nfs
[20:06] <MethinX> guake
[20:06] <erUSUL> !nfs > mfdavid
[20:06] <mfdavid> thanks
[20:06] <MethinX> !terminal
[20:06] <LordMetroid> How do I install latest unstable kernel?
[20:07] <gerber> do you where i can i go to see step by step network
[20:07] <erUSUL> !kernel
[20:07] <phorensic1> LordMetroid: Are you sure you really want to do that?
[20:07] <gray--> build it, tell grub to boot from it
[20:07] <gerber> do you know where i can i go to see step by step network
[20:07] <LordMetroid> phorensic, I know I am going to regret it but I want to take a shoot at fixing this bug
[20:07] <demonik> how do i report a bug
[20:07] <natbet> how would I get the dictionary for pidgin installed again? I updgraded to OO.org 3.0 and now there is no dictionary for pidgin
[20:07] <bazhang> !bugs
[20:08] <gerber> do you know where i can i go to see step by step network
[20:08] <phorensic1> LordMetroid: haha ok good luck
[20:08] <d0netsFN> hey im having issues while trying to completely uninstall and reinstall mythtv
[20:08] <d0netsFN> when i do sudo apt-get install mythtv i get : http://pastebin.com/m6b1355fd
[20:08] <demonik> what if its about a program about openoffice does that still count as a but
[20:08] <meoblast001> hi... i'd like to clean my ipod of it's dead mp3 files... is it possible to recursively rm from my working directory with the filter *.mp3?
[20:08] <demonik> bug*
[20:09] <_polto_> hi all
[20:09] <gerber> do you know where i can i go to see step by step network
[20:09] <_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] <phorensic1> meoblast001: I would think so ?
[20:09] <_polto_> (I am almost OK, after removing OO.o I am now at 4.3 GB)
[20:09] <ryanprior> My 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] <mfdavid> wow, 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] <meoblast001> phorensic1: i did "rm -r *.mp3" but it didnt look through all the directories in my working directory
[20:10] <meoblast001> phorensic1: ipods sort music into directories
[20:10] <sachael> anyone know what is the video driver for averatec 3700?
[20:10] <phorensic1> meoblast001: is it -R or -r ?
[20:10] <ryanprior> _polto_: man pages are very small, and will not net you much extra space but will make the system far less usable!
[20:10] <meoblast001> i tried -r
[20:10] <hypercity> how can i desativate compiz from command line with  a black screen bug?
[20:10] <meoblast001> phorensic1: rm: cannot remove `*.mp3': No such file or directory
[20:10] <askand> The Swedish language has partly disappeared from Nautilus. If I for example rightclick a file I see "open with" instead of the Swedish "öppna med". In the left pane in the filebrowser I now see Network and Desktop instead of it's Swedish equivalents.. I have tried reinstalling languagesupport but it won't help. This is on Intrepid Ibex.
[20:10] <gerber> i need help using samba ?
[20:11] <marry> when I watch streaming videos from firefox I cannot play any music or video in my hard. but when I close firefox and try to play it goes well. Anyway to fix this?
[20:11] <MikyMouse> Hi ALL
[20:11] <ryanprior> marry: Disabling PulseAudio and using ALSA directly worked for me.
[20:11] <phorensic1> meoblast001: Are the mp3's still there??
[20:11] <ryanprior> !hi | MikyMouse
[20:11] <meoblast001> phorensic1: yes... i'm deleting them manually as we speak.. i believe deleting the folders containing them crashes the ipod
[20:11] <marry> ryanprior : can you tell me how to do it? I am kinda new at this
[20:12] <demonik> is there anywhere a Ubuntu community member could help me be useful by teaching me to program?
[20:12] <phorensic1> meoblast001: I think you may be right about that
[20:12] <meoblast001> phorensic1: i'm almost at the end =/
[20:12] <phorensic1> demonik: Your best bet is to download some ebooks
[20:12] <MikyMouse> I am trying to instal lubuntu server in a PIII machine, the problem is that when booting the CD and selecting the language, after that the installation menus in text (the white and blue stuff) appears meesed up in the screen!, flickering and impossible to read..Can anyone help me please?
[20:13] <Necrosan> OK, here is my problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/109972/
[20:13] <Necrosan> can anyone help me fix that? thanks.
[20:13] <phorensic1> MikyMouse: Kill your monitor?
[20:13] <_polto_> ryanprior: thanks for the comment. What can I remove... ? I need at least some 100MB more..
[20:13] <MikyMouse> phorensic, my monitor i sbrand news, and shows prefectly everything that is graphical, the problem is with TEXT stuff
[20:14] <MikyMouse> Does anyone have any idea about what can I do?, thanks
[20:14] <phorensic1> MikyMouse: that seems a little backwards usually the gfx stuff will be borked and the text stuff will be cool
[20:14] <phorensic1> MikyMouse: Did you check the disk make sure it was all good? You sure its in the right language??
[20:15] <MikyMouse> phorensic, I selected English in the graphical selector, and after that the text menus come up all messed
[20:15] <Ultraputz> is Evolution mailer (for ubuntu) supported here?
[20:15] <MikyMouse> Is there any command that I can use during the installation?
[20:16] <phorensic1> MikyMouse: Hmm Im not sure.. I haven't had the misfortune of dealing with that
[20:16] <phorensic1> MikyMouse: You said its a server install?
[20:16] <ryanprior> _polto_: I'd suggest removing OOo and Evolution, replacing them with lightweight alternatives.
[20:16] <meoblast001> phorensic1: wel.. thanx anyways... but now that i have songs on my ipod (got it for free... i don't actually like ipods =P) i think i'm gonna go on a run
[20:17] <MikyMouse> phorensic, yes, an 8.10 Server edition install
[20:17] <meoblast001> bye
[20:17] <_polto_> ryanprior: already done.
[20:17] <SliMM> hello
[20:17] <SliMM> i have problems with setting up tor with firefox
[20:17] <SliMM> can anyone help me
[20:18] <phorensic1> Hey SliMM
[20:18] <SliMM> ?
[20:18] <phorensic1> HI
[20:18] <phorensic1> SliMM: hang on I think Ii have a link for that
[20:18] <SliMM> phorensic1 hi
[20:18] <SliMM> phorensic1: ok
[20:19] <SliMM> why is it so quiet?
[20:19] <flash> how can i know in what partiton is my windows? like hd0,0 or hd0,1 or hd1,0.....
[20:19] <_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."

[20:26] <Bodsda> Hi, i just installed the nvidia restricted drivers, then changed the xorg.conf file to get the correct HorizSync and VertRefresh rates, but now ubuntu freezes after about a minute, what have i done wrong?
[20:26] <jken146> hypercity, yeah, then you can execute any commands you want

[20:27] <Bodsda> danishjordan, 177
[20:27] <AJC_Z0> Bodsda: Run "sudo nvidia-settings", choose your options and write xorg.conf from there
[20:27] <The_Rebel> anyone know how to get the global media keys for volume up and down working in intrepid?
[20:27] <danishjordan> Hmph. I'm stumped.
[20:28] <PSPdemon> anyone know how to play sfw files on ubuntu?
[20:28] <Necrosan> AJC_Z0: You in #solaris ever?
[20:28] <Bodsda> AJC_Z0, il try again but that results in bad sync/refresh rates
[20:28] <askand> in what log can I see what happens filewise on my system?
[20:28] <AJC_Z0> Bodsda: That will set the global X config. You may also have nvidia settings from running it as yourself
[20:28] <jken146> PSPdemon, vlc should so it
[20:28] <AJC_Z0> Necrosan: No. The people in there are rude and offensive
[20:28] <PSPdemon> jken146, tried...no go
[20:28] <hypercity> jken146: how can i start a emergenci gnome sesion from command line?
[20:28] <platius> flash;  I don't know perhaps the grub howto link just posted will help you.
[20:29] <randagio> ma nn c'è nussuno su ubuntu?
[20:29] <PSPdemon> also tried mplayer and totem
[20:29] <Necrosan> AJC_Z0: Ah. Know anything about sunffb, Xorg and Intrepid?
[20:29] <Necrosan> I seem to recall you being a sparc guy.
[20:29] <jken146> hypercity, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[20:29] <PSPdemon> also looked up to see if there was anything in repos about it
[20:29] <PSPdemon> didnt find anything yet -_-
[20:29] <ortsvorsteher> !fr | randagio
[20:29] <SliMM> phorensic1: well, I did everything it says there, but it doesn't work with firefox
[20:29] <doedel> where can I see the features for the upcoming 9.04?
[20:30] <AJC_Z0> Necrosan: I know nothing of sunffb
[20:30] <quibbler> PSPdemon, try swfdec
[20:30] <randagio> merci beaucoup
[20:30] <PSPdemon> i think i just installed that
[20:31] <Necrosan> Ah.
[20:31] <phorensic1> SliMM: hmmm I have used it before although I remember also installing privoxy as well.. I think there was an addon in firefox i installed to turn it on and off as well
[20:31] <Necrosan> Who does sparc development?
[20:31] <jken146> PSPdemon, apparently imagemagick can read sfw
[20:31] <randagio> ma quello è l'unico canale in italiano?
[20:31] <Bodsda> AJC_Z0, when i do nvidia-settings it tells me to restart xserver to start nvidia driver first, but it freezes before i have a chance to run nvidia-settings again
[20:31] <Necrosan> The archives are MESSEd.
[20:31] <platius> flash;  http://www.supergrubdisk.org/   has help me out of a jam b4.
[20:31] <quibbler> !it
[20:31] <SliMM> phorensic1: it doesn't work either
[20:31] <PSPdemon> jken146, thanks ill try that :)
[20:31] <PSPdemon> the only other question is what program can i use to rip the streams
[20:31] <phorensic1> Hmm it worked for me, perhaps there is a config you are missing
[20:32] <PSPdemon> ( eg seperate the audio from the video )
[20:32] <jken146> PSPdemon, do you mean swf?
[20:32] <doedel> is there a ubuntu 9.04 chat or forum or feature list?
[20:32] <PSPdemon> yes
[20:32] <PSPdemon> swf
[20:32] <phorensic1> SliMM: did you restart provixy?
[20:32] <PSPdemon> did i say something else?
[20:32] <jken146> PSPdemon, ah, then ignore what I said.
[20:32]  * PSPdemon scrolls up
[20:32] <lstarnes> doedel: try #ubuntu+1
[20:32] <ryanprior> My 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?
[20:32] <jken146> PSPdemon, SFW
[20:32] <PSPdemon> my bad
[20:32] <PSPdemon> lol
[20:32] <SliMM> phorensic1 i did..
[20:33] <PSPdemon> sometimes i type faster than i should xD
[20:33] <[swb]> evening
[20:33] <jken146> PSPdemon, it's ok.  BTW that's Seattle Film Works image format
[20:33] <phorensic1> SliMM: sorry i don't know how to assist further.. you have the tor button installed and everything?
[20:33] <Bodsda> Hi, i just installed the nvidia restricted drivers, then changed the xorg.conf file to get the correct HorizSync and VertRefresh rates, but now ubuntu freezes after about a minute, what have i done wrong?
[20:33] <PSPdemon> heh
[20:33] <[swb]> does anyone want to see if they can reproduce a bug for me, its nothing critical
[20:33] <PSPdemon> what about swf files?
[20:33] <SliMM> phorensic1: i do
[20:33] <marcreichelt> hi there
[20:34] <phorensic1> SliMM: You tried the link for the tor detector?
[20:34] <marcreichelt> what is the best way to upgrade to OpenOffice 3.0 on Ubuntu 8.04?
[20:34] <[swb]> Bodsda, is your graphics card overheating?
[20:34] <PSPdemon> all i can find is how to play it in a browser.... nothing on how to play it on a player persay
[20:34] <SliMM> phorensic1:  i did
[20:34] <[swb]> are you able to log in
[20:34] <Bodsda> [swb], nope, ive used it before with no problems
[20:34] <Bodsda> [swb], yes
[20:34] <Skipity> Hi, I'm looking for support on my Realtek ALC883 sound card. Can anyone help?
[20:34] <[swb]> but with the new drivers perhaps the fan speed settings re wrong or something
[20:34] <beege> anyone know how to edit windows registry on a separate partition using ubuntu?
[20:34] <[swb]> causing it to overheat
[20:34] <hweeds> sudo apt get install amarok
[20:34] <hweeds> lol
[20:34] <[swb]> you could try going back to the older restricted drivers
[20:35] <PovAddict> beege: don't think you can... even Wine uses a different format for its registry
[20:35] <ortsvorsteher> !sound | Skipity
[20:35] <Bodsda> [swb], i doubt it would overheat in under 1 min
[20:35] <[swb]> there is a selector doohickey in System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers
[20:35] <jken146> PSPdemon, tried swfdec?#
[20:35] <[swb]> maybe not
[20:35] <beege> PovAddict: aye, found that out the hard way.
[20:35] <PSPdemon> says doesnt exsist O_o
[20:35] <quibbler> marcreichelt, http://www.rebelzero.com/ubuntu/installing-ooo-300-onto-hardy-heron/27
[20:35] <Bodsda> [swb], yeah but that isnt working for me, no entries in it
[20:35] <PSPdemon> but i think i installed it and stil comes up invalid
[20:35] <[swb]> but what else would cause it to work fine then freeze after X amount of time
[20:36] <[swb]> unless you are doing something at about X time every time
[20:36] <jken146> PSPdemon, the package is called swfdec-gnome
[20:36] <[swb]> Bodsda, strange
[20:36] <Bodsda> [swb], i dont know, thats why im here
[20:36] <Bodsda> :)
[20:36] <Skipity> ubottu Great thanks
[20:36] <Necrosan> Guess the only option is to try jaunty
[20:36] <beege> anyone have any clue as to how to edit windows registry on separate partition from ubuntu??
[20:36] <phorensic1> [swb]: hmmm maybe screensaver??
[20:36] <[swb]> well I dunno either then :P
[20:36] <Bodsda> lol, ok ty
[20:36] <marcreichelt> quibbler: thanks, I thought a nice repository was available
[20:36] <[swb]> phorensic1, if its idle..
[20:37] <AJC_Z0> Bodsda: Delete your xorg.conf and restart gdm, then try nvidia-settings
[20:37] <[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 check
[20:37] <Slart_> beege: not sure if there is a windows registry editor for linux.. seems kind of backwards
[20:37] <quibbler> marcreichelt, you have to completely uninstall 2.4 first
[20:37] <[swb]> so does anyone want to try and reproduce a bug in gnome panel for me?
[20:37] <Bodsda> [swb], will do
[20:37] <Slart_> beege: wine does come with a registry editor.. perhaps you can use that in some way
[20:37] <Bodsda> AJC_Z0, tried, same problems
[20:37] <beege> Slart_: lol yeah. i changed my system drive letter for kicks and giggles, thinking it would be easy to change from linux X-D
[20:37] <PSPdemon> jken146, that worked :)
[20:37] <PSPdemon> thanks
[20:38] <e3co> Hi everyone
[20:38] <beege> hi e3co
[20:38] <jken146> PSPdemon, ok good.  VLC does work for me though
[20:38] <PSPdemon> now thats all left to do is find out how to split them....but atleast now i have a player :)
[20:38] <[swb]> allthough it may involve a restart of X...
[20:38] <remote> hi
[20:38] <e3co> hi remote
[20:38] <beege> hi remote
[20:38] <AJC_Z0> Bodsda: It might help to pastebin your Xorg.0.log from a crashed session with no xorg.conf
[20:38] <e3co> hi beege
[20:38] <remote> i'm  trying to find a package that provides the `m2' executable
[20:38] <remote> how can i do that?
[20:38] <Slart_> beege: hehe.. guess you're lauging your way through a reinstall as we are speaking.. ;)
[20:38] <Slart_> *laughing
[20:38] <beege> Slart_: haha probably
[20:38] <PSPdemon> jken146, ill try it again with vlc since i installed the player...
[20:38] <Bodsda> AJC_Z0, it does not crash without an xorg.conf because its not using the nvidia driver then
[20:38] <marcreichelt> quibbler: I'm unable to uninstall OOo 2.4
[20:39] <Slart_> beege: there's nothing in the recovery thingy you can get if you boot from the install cd?
[20:39] <paul_> how do I migrate my current homedrive to a new disk without having to reinstall everything?
[20:39] <beege> Slart_: i'm just really surprised linux can't edit the files
[20:39] <PSPdemon> jken146, nope, still doesnt work in vlc player....but thats fine
[20:39] <e3co> beege what files?
[20:39] <quibbler> marcreichelt, why?
[20:39] <beege> Slart_: i'm sure there is, i just wanted to do it the hard way
[20:39] <jken146> PSPdemon, have you tried avidemux?  I've never used it on swf myself
[20:39] <ortsvorsteher> paul_: just copy recursively all to the new disc
[20:39] <lstarnes> remote: if you have apt-file, try apt-file search /usr/bin/m2
[20:40] <beege> e3co: i'm trying to get to the windows registry from linux in an attempt to change my system drive letter
[20:40] <PSPdemon> i have built avidemux yes
[20:40] <beege> e3co: i kinda screwed it up X-D
[20:40] <Kanatrell> oin/ #ubuntu-se
[20:40] <marcreichelt> if 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] <PSPdemon> use it for my psp video converting
[20:40] <paul_> ortsvorsteher: and what do I do then? don't I need to adapt the drive in gparted to home for example
[20:41] <AJC_Z0> Bodsda: 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] <e3co> beege:  wild I can't say I've ever heard that one. How about using regedit through wine?
[20:41] <Bodsda> AJC_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] <PSPdemon> avidemux doesnt open the file D:
[20:41] <jken146> PSPdemon, do you just want to extract the sound track?
[20:41] <ortsvorsteher> paul_: 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 editing
[20:41] <e3co> Also dosbox might have that exe
[20:41] <Necrosan> What's the update-manager equiv for the console?
[20:41] <AJC_Z0> Bodsda: It might help to pastebin your Xorg.0.log from a crashed session with the nvidia xorg.conf
[20:41] <Necrosan> Want to try updating to jaunty to see if they fixed my packagedeps.
[20:41] <quibbler> marcreichelt, did you read the how to that i sent you?look at step 3
[20:41] <phorensic1> polto: In windows I had a program called folder2iso
[20:41] <Slart_> Necrosan: apt-get and friends, I guess
[20:41] <Bodsda> AJC_Z0, ok, will do, not right now though cause im a bit busy, but will in a bit, thanks :)
[20:41] <beege> Slart_: ooo, that's a good idea. i'll poke around with it a bit
[20:42] <beege> e3co: i tried that. it only edits wine's registry. this is on a separate partition. good idea though
[20:42] <e3co> Necrosan:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. To open update-manager it is # sudo update-manager
[20:42] <_polto_> phorensic1 I am not very windows :)
[20:42] <Necrosan> e3co: Just switch out intrepid in my sources.list to jaunty?
[20:42] <marcreichelt> quibbler: I did
[20:42] <marcreichelt> I ran "sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-core"
[20:42] <phorensic1> _polto_: true nor I it was just an option
[20:42] <Slart_> e3co, Necrosan: gksudo update-manager.. never sudo for gui stuff
[20:42] <marcreichelt> and that one says that dependencies are broken
[20:42] <Necrosan> Slart_: I have no X11.
[20:43] <Necrosan> Doing this all from console
[20:43] <e3co> Necrosan:  you can also add it.. Are you doing the Dist upgrade?
[20:43] <Necrosan> e3co: Whatever I got to do to go to jaunty from intrepid
[20:43] <Slart_> Necrosan: oh... can you run update-manager from a command line only? I doubt it
[20:43] <paul_> ortsvorsteher: I already have these disks in my system just want to migrate my current homefolder to the new drive
[20:43] <Necrosan> Slart_: update-manager -c ;)
[20:43] <e3co> Necrosan:  #update-manager -d
[20:44] <e3co> But I wouldn't update to Jaunty
[20:44] <beege> Slart_: any suggestions on editing windows registry from python...?
[20:44] <Necrosan> e3co: Why's that?
[20:44] <e3co> If anything download and install the OS so you can keep intrepid as a backup
[20:44] <Necrosan> Intrepid on sparc64==broken
[20:44] <e3co> Necrosan:  from a cd
[20:44] <Slart_> beege: search some python sites.. there are modules for just about anything. I would be surprised if there isn't one for dealing with the registry
[20:44] <Slart_> Necrosan: =)
[20:44] <marcreichelt> quibbler: I may uninstall language-support-translations-en too
[20:44] <beege> Slart_ excellent. time to learn some nifty stuff. thanks!
[20:45] <marcreichelt> it should work then
[20:45] <e3co> Necrosan:  I don't know of a way to remove a distribution upgrade if you are not happy with Jaunty
[20:45] <heatmzzr> anyone here know how to use zoneminder?
[20:45] <marcreichelt> quibbler: what do you think?
[20:45] <remote> lstarnes: thanks
[20:45] <e3co> Necrosan:  brb
[20:45] <Necrosan> e3co: It's fine.
[20:46] <ortsvorsteher> paul_: mount your new disk to a temporarely mount point. move or copy your home folder to the new disc. after that, delete you old homedir. than mount the new disk to /home/youruser
[20:46] <jken146> PSPdemon, install swftools and then try using swfextract to get the sound out
[20:47] <majnoon> !ot
[20:47] <carebear> c.homelien.no
[20:47] <paul_> ortsvorsteher: I presume I use gparted to get the mountpoints correct or am I wrong?
[20:47] <Finnish_> Where do I put a script like that? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6621434&postcount=8
[20:48] <ortsvorsteher> paul_: i never worked with gparted. so i dont know exactly what it does.
[20:48] <beege> Slart_: only python modules for editing windows registry are for windows platform...
[20:48] <beege> Slart_: think wine could run such modules?
[20:48] <marcreichelt> hmm, this is odd
[20:48] <Slart_> beege: mm.. it probable uses a windows api then..
[20:48] <quibbler> marcreichelt, sorry i was reading other how to's ...uninstall lang etc why not you can always reinstall them
[20:49] <Slart_> beege: sure.. I guess that would work.. perhaps only for editing the wine registry though
[20:49] <ardchoille> Finnish_: you can put shell scripts anywhere youw want.. I keep mine in ~/bin
[20:49] <beege> Slart_: haha alrighty. i'll give it a shot. this is absurd and i love it
[20:49] <marcreichelt> hmm, but he wants to uninstall language-support-de and language-support-en, too
[20:49] <izzy__> any one no how to turn ur wireless on
[20:49] <PSPdemon> jken146, sorry was away....gonna try what you suggested now
[20:50] <cbilljones> izzy: what seems to be the issue?
[20:50] <paul_> ortsvorsteher: the temp mountpoint that I have now is /media/Data2 so now I copy my current home folder to the new drive
[20:50] <ortsvorsteher> paul_: sorry, stop please.
[20:50] <marcreichelt> quibbler: is it risky to uninstall the language packages?
[20:51] <marcreichelt> what will I miss after that?
[20:51] <bn43>  /msg NickServ identify Nokia100
[20:51] <paul_> ortsvorsteher: ok

[20:52] <ortsvorsteher> paul_: i just read the docu to gparted. at first i want to understand what it does. sry, plz answer again your question here, before you destroy something. i have my knwoledge from hp-ux, not from linux. so i did a mistake...
[20:52] <e3co> filmore:  do you have the development unsupported upgrades check under Software sources?
[20:52] <paul_> ortsvorsteher: ok no problem
[20:52] <ortsvorsteher> :)
[20:52] <e3co> filmore:  sorry - checked under software sources
[20:53] <Mood> what's the commandline for apt-get just to see if a package exists? (not installing it)

[20:55] <cool2k2> paul_: so what you want to do is to put all the content of /home/ in other hard drive??
[20:55] <a931bw> How i'm can install packpage which need ubuntu 7.10 with 7.04??

[20:55] <paul_> cool2k2: yes thats what I want

[20:55] <cool2k2> ok
[20:55] <a931bw> i'm need that packpage
[20:55] <cool2k2> its quite simple
[20:55] <a931bw> is that real to install?
[20:56] <filmore> e3co: the mouse is wireless, but everything else about it seems to be fine. ( light is coming on and responding to movement, etc)
[20:56] <gsuveg> re
[20:56] <paul_> cool2k2: if You know how it is :-)
[20:56] <cool2k2> paul_: so you have the new drive mounted right?

[20:56] <e3co> did you upgrade to intrepid?
[20:56] <paul_> it is mounted yes
[20:56] <paul_> cool2k2: it is mounted
[20:56] <cool2k2> paul: ok
[20:56] <cool2k2> is it formated??
[20:57] <chrism> anyone experienced with lamp? im behind a router, wireless network, can view everything fine locally, did my port forwarding...80 all of that..using dyndns, cant view anything remotely, only local.
[20:57] <paul_> cool2k2: as far as I know yes but how do I check to be sure
[20:57] <cool2k2> paul_: what filesystem do you use to farmat it??
[20:57] <cool2k2> can you write on it?
[20:57] <e3co> filmore:  sorry I have to get going, the work day is over... I will be back in about 1 1/2 hours. But really have to go - will some please help filmore
[20:57] <e3co> ????
[20:57] <Slart_> chrism: make sure apache is listening to the external interface, not just the loopback interface
[20:57] <paul_> cool2k2: yes I can
[20:57] <filmore> e3co: *sigh* the battery was loose... I've been racking my brain for hours trying to figure this out... Thnx for the help http://xkcd.com/530/
[20:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !eol  > a931bw
[20:57] <cool2k2> paul_: you can use this comand: mount
[20:57] <e3co> filmore:  ahahahahaha I love that.... good job!
[20:57] <e3co> later
[20:57] <chrism> Slart, would that be in ports.conf?
[20:57] <a931bw> I KNOW THAT SHIT
[20:57] <a931bw> But is real to install that on MY linux?
[20:58] <chrism> Slart, using apache2
[20:58] <FloodBot1> a931bw: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:58] <cool2k2> paul_: it will display all mounted drives
[20:58] <chrism> that would be a real kicker if thats how it was..
[20:58] <cool2k2> paul_: it will tell you where it is mounted and what filesystem it is
[20:58] <quibbler> marcreichelt, you have to make the choose, but I would imagine that language support that you need will be installed with ooo3.0
[20:58] <Slart_> chrism: I don't really remember.. it's in the general configuration.. I think the line is something like "listen blablabla"
[20:58] <chrism> oh yes.
[20:58] <marcreichelt> quibbler: it works great
[20:59] <chrism> Slart, I do have it listening on port 80
[20:59] <danfg> i just installed wine and decided to run notepad, wine is eating up my processor, it seems to be populating by ~/.wine/drive_c/windows directory, how long will this take?
[20:59] <marcreichelt> :)
[20:59] <marcreichelt> thanks a lot quibbler
[20:59] <cool2k2> paul_: you can use gparted as well
[20:59] <paul_> cool2k2: this is the outcome for the drive in question /dev/sdc1 on /media/Data2 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
[20:59] <danfg> by=my
[20:59] <Slart_> chrism: iirc that means it listens on all interfaces..
[20:59] <quibbler> marcreichelt, i'm glad for you
[20:59] <ausbird> hello, I recently installed intrepid ibex and have had no luck with name resolution. I am hoping for a little help.
[20:59] <paul_> cool2k2: perhaps better to use ext3 format right?
[20:59] <Slart_> chrism: also.. make sure you don't have firestarter or something blocking everything
[21:00] <Slart_> ausbird: normal web browsing dns stuff?
[21:00] <sachael> darn, anyone know, please, what driver to select for averatec laptop (averatec 3700)? PLEASE PEOPLE!
[21:00] <ausbird> yes, nothing complicated
[21:00] <KenBW2> i restored GRUB using EasyBCD but it just takes me to a GRUB prompt - what have i done wrong?
[21:00] <chrism> Slart, 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] <cool2k2> paul_: ok, is the new drive empty?
[21:00] <filmore> sachael: what part isn't working?
[21:00] <Slart_> sachael: details... driver for what? graphics? sound? acpi?..
[21:00] <paul_> cool2k2: yes it is
[21:01] <sachael> filmore, is stuck in 800x600, Slart, Video driver
[21:01] <PSPdemon> jken146, well.... it extracted to a unplayable format :S
[21:01] <cool2k2> paul_: ok, let's format it with another fs
[21:01] <Slart_> chrism: that would be very odd behaviour for a router if you ask me..
[21:01] <cool2k2> you can use gparted to make it simple
[21:01] <paul_> cool2k2: start up gparted ok
[21:02] <Deany> chrism: changing the port it runs cant screw anything up.. uinless you ae using SQL too
[21:02] <cool2k2> paul_: locate your drive, right click on the partition>> umount it>> right click on the partition and select format with and use ext3 or reiserfs
[21:02] <chrism> Deany, yes I am using sql.
[21:02] <askand> The Swedish language has partly disappeared from Nautilus. If I for example rightclick a file I see "open with" instead of the Swedish "öppna med". In the left pane in the filebrowser I now see Network and Desktop instead of it's Swedish equivalents.. I have tried reinstalling languagesupport but it won't help. This is on Intrepid Ibex.
[21:02] <Deany> lot of sql based stuff seems to like port 80, like my vidiscript video site
[21:02] <Slart_> chrism: I would start by just serving a single static webpage before trying something fancy
[21:03] <bobbob1016> Is there a way to update symlinks?  As in if I symlink files a, b, and c from folder 1, to folder 2, then add file d to folder 1, can I get folder 2 to show file d automatically?
[21:03] <Jack_Sparrow> sachael via S3
[21:03] <sachael> jacekowski, S3? what is this?
[21:03] <chrism> Slart, right, Iv done this before just never with a wireless network.
[21:03] <cool2k2> paul_: then apply changes
[21:03] <cool2k2> paul_: it should'nt take long
[21:03] <paul_> cool2k2: ok
[21:03] <Jack_Sparrow> sachael Appears to be the chipset for  your video card
[21:03] <cool2k2> paul_: questions so far??
[21:04] <jacekowski> sachael: S3 - probably Suspend to ram
[21:04] <Deany> chrism: you`ll get a "It Works!" page if it does
[21:04] <chrism> Slart, check it out http://www.wampserver.com/phorum/read.php?2,42687  this is for wamp but it seems to be the same problem with my lamp
[21:04] <Slart_> chrism: besides giving kind of obvious advice I'm afraid I can't be of much help when it comes to apache.. it's been to long since I used it in any serious way
[21:04] <jacekowski> sachael: mhm or no
[21:04] <chrism> Deany, right i can actually veiw everything just find locally.
[21:04] <zod21> whats up fellas
[21:04] <chrism> i can go to my website christopher.gotdns.com
[21:04] <chrism> and i see my website.
[21:04] <KenBW2> i restored GRUB using EasyBCD but it just takes me to a GRUB prompt - what have i done wrong?
[21:05] <Slart_> chrism: ah.. the isp might be blocking port 80.. that sounds more reasonable than the router doing it
[21:05] <bobbob1016> S3 is also amazon't online data storage, haven't been reading what they are talking about though, so could be completely wrong
[21:05] <sachael> Jack_Sparrow, Via S3 Unichrome PRO VGA A
[21:05] <chrism> Deany, so everything works great its not apache or sql.
[21:05] <chrism> Slart, yea
[21:05] <letalis> is 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] <chrism> thats what i ment
[21:05] <bobbob1016> Yeah, not amazon....
[21:05] <paul_> cool2k2: done whats next?
[21:05] <Slart_> letalis: sleep
[21:05] <letalis> thanks Slart_
[21:05] <cool2k2> paul_: now, in general terms, you only need to copy all the content in /home/ to the new drive
[21:05] <Slart_> letalis: it won't do any counting.. but it will pause of a number of seconds
[21:05] <Jack_Sparrow> sachael vesa at 1024 is probably the best that will do
[21:05] <cool2k2> check if it's mounted?
[21:06] <sachael> Jack_Sparrow, i know, but it wont, vesa is also stuck at 800 for some reason
[21:06] <zod21> hey anyone know if you can install google chrome from terminal
[21:06] <dayo_> letalis: sleep <number of seconds>
[21:06] <The_Rebel> can someone help me with XF86 media keys? the OSD pops up but no sound changes occur (volume mute, volume up, volume down)
[21:06] <letalis> i 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] <chrism> So 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] <letalis> LOL
[21:07] <chrism> I did try it though and to no avail everything biffed up
[21:07] <chrism> so i went back to 80 and everything was fine again.
[21:07] <bobbob1016> zod21, Chrome isn't native yet is it?  If it is native, maybe, but if it's a windows program, you can't
[21:07] <cool2k2> paul_: if it is you need to copy the content of /home/ as root so you could use this comand: sudo nautilus
[21:07] <chrism> ill try somemore research thanks anyways!
[21:07] <cool2k2> paul_: and then you can copy all the content with your mouse
[21:07] <Jack_Sparrow> sachael You can try adding these to the kernel line of grubs  menu list  add these vga=normal xmodule=vesa xdrvr=vesa, res=1024x768
[21:08] <cool2k2> paul_: note* copy the content don't move it
[21:08] <Jack_Sparrow> cool2k2 Never use sudo nautilus
[21:08] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[21:08] <sachael> Jack_Sparrow, thanx, will try it
[21:08] <quibbler> chrism, gksudo nautilus
[21:09] <Jack_Sparrow> cool2k2 regardless it is not forgiving if  they make any mistake while running nautilus as root
[21:09] <paul_> cool2k2: ok, try that but it wont let me getting error message that I don' have the permissions to move data
[21:09] <cool2k2> paul_: according to Jack_Sparrow you can use gksu or gksudo instead of sudo
[21:09] <chrism> quibbler, what is nautilus iv heard of it.
[21:09] <chrism> just not sure what it does.
[21:09] <Deany> chrism: how are you testing your site.
[21:09] <Jack_Sparrow> chrism File manager
[21:09] <hakan8> hey
[21:09] <Deany> from where.
[21:09] <chrism> gotcha. dont need that i run from terminal but thanks
[21:09] <quibbler> chrism, Jack_Sparrow  is a faster typer
[21:09] <hakan8> turkey
[21:10]  * Deany prefers pcmanfm to naughtylus
[21:10] <chrism> Deany, just by going to christopher.gotdns.com
[21:10] <chrism> Deany, and it works from my localmachine.
[21:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Deany And I prefer thunar
[21:11] <chrism> Deany,  the weird part is noone remote can view it..its so weird iv portforwaded on my router..
[21:11] <cool2k2> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[21:11] <chrism> done everything possible
[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[21:11] <Deany> well if your ip host is forwarding 80 to whatever, no reason it shouldnt..
[21:11] <chrism> well its 80 to 80
[21:11] <Deany> if its forwarded, you`ll have to set that forwarded port in your router, not port 80
[21:11] <paul_> cool2k2: any Idea on how to solve this?
[21:11] <cool2k2> paul_: do you still get the error??
[21:11] <cool2k2> paul_:  ok
[21:11] <paul_> cool2k2: yes
[21:11] <chrism> hmm..
[21:12] <cool2k2> paul_: are you using nautilus in root mode (gksudo nautilus) ?
[21:12] <paul_> cool2k2: gksudo
[21:12] <chrism> so like.. change what apache's port is running on..
[21:12] <Deany> even 8080 some isp`s block for incoming
[21:12] <chrism> oh.
[21:12] <hakan8> girls im here blue-mars01_@hotmail.com
[21:12] <chrism> crap didnt know that.
[21:12] <Deany> thats theiir proxy port
[21:12] <werdnum> !ohmy | hakan8
[21:12] <ortsvorsteher> !ot | hakan8
[21:13] <chrism> yeah thats funny you say that because i had it running on 8080
[21:13] <Deany> set apache to like 8324 and your ip hosting to forward to 8324..
[21:13] <cool2k2> paul_: let's try to move just one folder
[21:13] <Deany> and open 8324 in your router.
[21:13] <chrism> and i did nmap -sS on my localhost and it came up as http-proxy 8080
[21:13] <cool2k2> paul_: copy your folder
[21:13] <Deany> incoming/outgoing.
[21:14] <cool2k2> paul_: stiil get that error??
[21:14] <chrism> okay ill try a differnt port number, I probaly need to change my.cnf for sql to find apache2 elsewhere huh?
[21:14] <Deany> chrism:  i dunno, ive not yet got mysql to play nice with my vidiscrpt on any other port
[21:15] <paul_> cool2k2: everything copied
[21:15] <Deany> maybe just set in the script
[21:15] <chrism> yea its a pain..thanks though you got me going in a new direction ill try it!
[21:15] <karol> Hello, how shutdown Universal Access Settings ?
[21:15] <cool2k2> ok
[21:15] <Deany> try the site without sql
[21:16] <cool2k2> paul_:  how many other folder do you have??
[21:16] <chrism> yeah i should.
[21:16] <Deany> just have apache running itself and rely on the it works page
[21:16] <chrism> okay ill try that.
[21:16] <chrism> see what happens.
[21:16] <breakz> hello, Im wondering if there is a way to replace "localhost" "192.168.0.1" etc for some kind of host locally,
[21:16] <flaco> hey... I have mount a folder with sshfs, but I don't have permissions to edit files... any ideas to solve this?
[21:16] <paul_> cool2k2: all the files and folders are copied including the hidden ones
[21:16] <cool2k2> paul_: do you have more users?
[21:16] <cool2k2> paul_:  ok
[21:17] <paul_> cool2k2: no single user
[21:17] <cool2k2> paul_:  so everything in /home is in your new drive, right?
[21:17] <paul_> cool2k2: correct
[21:17] <cool2k2> ok
[21:17] <cool2k2> paul_: now you need to edit fstab
[21:17] <karol> Hello, how shutdown Universal Access Settings ?
[21:18] <paul_> cool2k2: ok what do I enter there?
[21:18] <rshakin> hey i am trying to enable dri in ubuntu is there any howto for that
[21:18] <rshakin> i am using ati drivers
[21:19] <cool2k2> paul_:  you need to edit it as root (gksudo gedit /etc/fstab)
[21:19] <Jack_Sparrow> cool2k2 :)  ty
[21:19] <paul_> cool2k2: ok
[21:19] <Alabaster_W> i am attempting to install ubuntu 8.10 on a ppc mac g4
[21:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !ppc
[21:19] <cool2k2> paul_:  i suppose you dont see anithing there that has /home, right??
[21:19] <umbrella> installing 8.10 on an Eeepc, any hints?
[21:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Alabaster_W or /join #ubuntu-powerpc

[21:20] <Alabaster_W> thanks jack
[21:20] <jsfoxton> does anyone know why i cant play dvd's in ubuntu 8.10?? totem just freezes
[21:20] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[21:20] <umbrella> thanks
[21:20] <phorensic1> jsfoxton: perhaps you dont have libdvdcss2 installed
[21:20] <paul_> cool2k2: correct
[21:20] <jsfoxton> phorensic: I'll have a look
[21:21] <cool2k2> paul_: you need to add this a new line with the identifier of your drive and with the mount point
[21:21] <cool2k2> paul_:  something like this:
[21:21] <filmore> jsfoxton: also, you may want to check your system monitor to see if either the CPU is pinned at 100%, or you have lots of read/writes to the disk, or if totem just hung
[21:21] <paul_> cool2k2: /dev/sdc1 on /media/Home type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) like this?
[21:21] <askand> anyone here with a wacomtablet that can help me test something?
[21:22] <jsfoxton> phorensic: Its not in my package installer??

[21:22] <Foxkeh> How do you add a launcher to Avant that opens in Wine? I'm trying to do it with Photoshop.
[21:23] <cool2k2> paul_:  what filesystem did you use to farmat your new drive?
[21:23] <paul_> cool2k2: ext3
[21:23] <breakz> hello, Im wondering if there is a way to replace "localhost" "192.168.0.1" etc for some kind of host locally, like in windows, you only have to change a few lines so I thought I could do the same in resolv.conf or hosts or something like that, any ideas?
[21:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !medibuntu
[21:24] <cool2k2> paul_:  this would be what you need to put there:  /dev/sdc1    /home     ext3      relatime     0     2
[21:24] <Foxkeh> How do you add a launcher to Avant that opens in Wine? I'm trying to do it with Photoshop.

[21:25] <jsfoxton> i cant seem to get totem to play a dvd...it says cannot read from resource? any other ideas?
[21:25] <unop> breakz, why would you want localhost to be anything other than 127.0.0.1 ?
[21:25] <mattgman> HELP!  I can't see my pictures on my external drive!
[21:25] <Cpudan80> breakz: redefining localhost as something other than 127.0.0.1 is very poor networking practice
[21:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Cpudan80 gksudo  gedit.. NOT sudo gedit.. thanks
[21:25] <MikyMouse> xubuntu es servidor?
[21:25] <Foxkeh> The only reason I copied it is because it didn't get answered and it got paste the visible range.
[21:25] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: oops
[21:25] <cool2k2> Jack_Sparrow: do you know the diference betwen defaults and relatime??
[21:25] <breakz> just something I want :)
[21:25] <breakz> mkey
[21:25] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: I knew that too....
[21:25] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[21:25]  * Cpudan80 must be losing it 
[21:25] <sorel> hi
[21:26] <paul_> cool2k2: this is what I entered /dev/sdc1	/home	ext3 relatime	0	2
[21:26] <Jack_Sparrow> cool2k2 not without looking it  up with man fstab
[21:26] <paul_> cool2k2: not attached that is
[21:26] <Foxkeh> nevermind, it's impossible to get an answer here.
[21:26] <Cpudan80> breakz: it will likely break things .... but if you want to run a crazy screwed up network - go ahead!
[21:26] <mattgman> anybody have any ideas about my issue?
[21:26] <Cpudan80> breakz: if you just want to set your DNS name add a line for 127.0.0.1 myDNSNameHere
[21:26] <cool2k2> paul_: ok
[21:27] <Gtwy> ive seen this app for ubuntu that brings up a cube and lets you have a workspace on each side of it
[21:27] <paul_> cool2k2: whats next?
[21:27] <breakz> well I was just thinking, since Ive got stuff connecting locally, I would like to change "127.0.0.1" "192.168.0.1" "localhost" to something else
[21:27] <Gtwy> and you can roll the cube and then it zooms in
[21:27] <Gtwy> whats that app called?
[21:27] <cool2k2> paul_: so paul i think would be better to use defaults
[21:27] <breakz> Cpudan80 ya I tried that, didnt really work
[21:27] <cool2k2> paul_: ok?
[21:27] <paul_> cool2k2: ok changed that
[21:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Gtwy Do your windows wobble now when you drag them
[21:27] <paul_> cool2k2: whats the next step?
[21:27] <cool2k2> paul_: at this point you still have your data in /home, right?
[21:27] <Gtwy> Jack_Sparrow: no
[21:28] <Gtwy> Jack_Sparrow: or i havent noticed
[21:28] <xMopx> !eee
[21:28] <paul_> cool2k2: correct
[21:28] <cool2k2> ok
[21:28] <Aragon> how can i change the ubuntu icon near applications?? i tried many tutorials i found in the internet but none worked.. i renamed all the distributor-logo.png i found to distributor-logo.png.bak... i tried to change it in the gconf-editor, didnt work either
[21:28] <quibbler> jsfoxton, add the medibuntu repros look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu then you will see libdvdcss2
[21:28] <breakz> Cpudan80 I just need to edit hosts then save, nothing else right ?
[21:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Gtwy You would notice.. so your video drivers may not be installed correctly atm which is required for the fancy effects
[21:28] <johan12> hi all. when rebooting/or starting xubuntu it loads a the program i ran before start up/reboot, how can i remove it?
[21:28] <menlo> installed 8.10 server last night with the gnome desktop pkg. Was wondering if it I attach an ntfs volume to the sata and pull data from that old drive to this one?
[21:28] <Cpudan80> breakz: you need to restart your computer (or all networking services) for it to take affect
[21:28] <Gtwy> Jack_Sparrow: one time i hit a button on the keyboard and it zoomed out
[21:28] <Gtwy> Jack_Sparrow: and i saw both workspaces side by side and it looked pretty cool
[21:28] <cool2k2> paul_: now you can reboot and everything should work fine, but if you have any problem, use the console to edit the file and to comment the line you just added
[21:29] <Gtwy> Jack_Sparrow: cannot figure for the LIFE of me how i did that
[21:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Aragon We dont supports in here to change the logo on Ubuntu releases
[21:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Gtwy One sec
[21:29] <Cpudan80> menlo: you can do that yeah
[21:29] <cool2k2> paul_: you could use nano to do this
[21:29] <Cpudan80> menlo: ubuntu should mount it for you
[21:29] <paul_> cool2k2: do I need to remove the old home folder or not?
[21:29] <Jack_Sparrow> Gtwy sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects....  On the first page  put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top...  click on desktop size  and set them to 4, 1 and 1  top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse
[21:29] <cool2k2> paul_: sudo nano /etc/fstab
[21:29] <cool2k2> paul_:  not yet paul
[21:29] <breakz> Cpudan80 okay, thank you
[21:29] <paul_> cool2k2: ok rebooting now brb
[21:30] <Gtwy> Jack_Sparrow: you are the man. ill get right on that thanks
[21:30] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[21:30] <cool2k2> paul_: ok, good look
[21:30] <Aragon> Jack_Sparrow, ok thanks anyway..
[21:30] <menlo> @Cpudan80 thanks!
[21:30] <Cpudan80> np
[21:30] <bobbob1016> If I do "ln -s /extra-files/* /files" and remove files from /extra-files/ do I have to manually remove the links, or is there a command to do it automatically?
[21:31] <Cpudan80> bobbob1016: that syntax is wrong
[21:31] <mattgman> I cannot see any of the pictures located on my sdb1 drive, but i know they are there because they were put in there using xp.  any help would be great
[21:31] <Cpudan80> bobbob1016: ln -s targertDirectory linkName
[21:31] <Slart_> mattgman: can you see the files using nautilus?
[21:31] <Cpudan80> bobbob1016: ln -s /home/Cpudan80/real/long/annoying/path movies
[21:31] <mattgman> negative Slart_
[21:32] <Cpudan80> bobbob1016: but to answer your question - yes - if you remove things from the target directory, it is reflected in the symlink
[21:32] <filmore> bobob16: 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 them
[21:32] <filmore> ok, nevermind
[21:32] <bobbob1016> Cpudan80, 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?
[21:33] <Cpudan80> bobbob1016: test -L tests for symbolic links
[21:33] <mattgman> Slart_: no error messages come up, all pictures are sorted into folders, cannot see any contents, ntfs drive, 250gb in ext usb casing
[21:33] <joe-mac> is it considered a bug that .sudo_as_admin_successful is not rm'd when you log out of a session?
[21:34] <joe-mac> IMO a test -e should exist in the skeleton's bash logout to remove that
[21:34] <bobbob1016> Cpudan80, So test -L will test them, then remove the soft links?
[21:34] <askand> I 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.so
[21:34] <askand> Where can I change that?
[21:34] <Slart_> mattgman: are there any errors in the syslog?
[21:34] <Cpudan80> well 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] <paul68> cool2
[21:34] <Cpudan80> bobbob1016: This is really the type of thing for #bash
[21:34] <cool2k2> paul68: ok
[21:34] <Slart_> mattgman: tail -n 20 /var/log/syslog will show you the last 20 lines
[21:35] <paul68> cool2k2: getting error message that the /home/paul cannot be found
[21:35] <Cpudan80> bobbob1016: you'd have to write a small program to do what you want
[21:35] <ryanCH> i tried burning an ISO with a brasero, but it says "the drive cannot be locked" this is blank disc, what is wrong?
[21:35] <cool2k2> paul68: ok, let's see what "mount" says
[21:35] <jjansen> eaewww
[21:35] <bobbob1016> Cpudan80, I made one to update the links, but I wasn't sure how to add removing soft links
[21:35] <jjansen> hi everyone
[21:36] <paul68> cool2k2: hold on rebooting desktop again
[21:36] <mattgman> slart_: nothing looks like an error about my pics
[21:36] <paul68> cool2k2: do I need to use the terminal?
[21:36] <Cpudan80> bobbob1016: 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 command
[21:36] <Cpudan80> if fail - remove - if succeed, go back, continue
[21:36] <cool2k2> paul68: yes
[21:36] <cool2k2> paul68: well, do you have the problem still ??
[21:37] <paul68> cool2k2: I am at my logon screen now what do I do ?
[21:37] <jjansen> can anyone help me?? i re-installed ubuntu and it didnt recognize the /home partition.. instead of it, it recon as another partition of the disk, like a pen drive or something.. can i make it recognize as /home?
[21:37] <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 lines
[21:37] <cool2k2> paul68:  start sesion and then execute "mount"
[21:37] <Slart_> !pastebin | mattgman
[21:37] <cool2k2> paul68: see if /dev/sdc1 is mounted
[21:38] <paul68> cool2k2: I can only start session as root  can I go directly to the terminal from my logon screen
[21:38] <bobbob1016> Cpudan80, Ok, I get the logic, any way you could give me the if statement or something?  So I don't have to dig around for the commands?
[21:38] <paul68> cool2k2: bypassing logon screen I mean
[21:38] <cool2k2> paul68: yes
[21:38] <Cpudan80> bobbob1016: my bash is rusty but I think this will work
[21:38] <Cpudan80> bobbob1016: Ill pm it to you
[21:39] <paul68> cool2k2: is it failsave terminal?
[21:39] <cool2k2> paul68:  you mean with ctrl+alt+F1, right?
[21:39] <xMopx_> Hi, im reading the page about ubuntu on EEEs, and i cant get the wifi part to work - after running the modprobe line, "FATAL: Module ath5k not found."
[21:39] <filmore> bobbob1016, Cpudan80: http://www.debian-administration.org/users/atrixnet/weblog/4  Looks like someone already made a script for something similar
[21:39] <paul68> cool2k2: yes
[21:39] <cool2k2> paul68: ok
[21:39] <cool2k2> thats ok
[21:39] <quibbler> jjansen, you have you /home on a different partition as /?
[21:40] <cool2k2> paul68: let's see what's in /home (ls -l /home)
[21:40] <paul68> cool2k2: I am logged on as paul at this point and mount sais that dev/sdc1 on /home ext3
[21:40] <cool2k2> paul68:  do you see the folder paul there??
[21:40] <baz> i have an update *stuck* in my update manager - it is "gnome-do-plugins" but I can't click the checkbox to have it installed... any ideas?
[21:41] <bobbob1016> filmore, gtg to work, thanks for the help, and thanks to you too Cpudan80
[21:41] <jjansen> quibbler,  yeah it did alone
[21:41] <kantlivelong> hey all.. im having a weird issue w/ NetworkManager.. it loads my wireless card but doesnt connect.. it fails at step 2 and says it cannot connect to the supplicant.. any ideas?
[21:41] <jjansen> quibbler, i think i asked it to import from my windows =[
[21:41] <paul68> cool2k2: no just the folders that I copied earlier
[21:42] <cool2k2> paul68: what folders did you copies?? didn't you copied /home/paul ?
[21:42] <paul68> cool2k2: didn't copy the folder Paul due to the error just all folders and hidden folder besides an example folder
[21:42] <xMopx_> Hey how do you get wifi working on an EEE? I read the !eee thing, the modprobe line gets a module not found error.
[21:42] <umbrella> so im dual booting ubuntu and windows, is there anyway to get rid of windows from within linux?
[21:42] <cool2k2> paul68: no problem
[21:42] <cool2k2> paul68: edit your fstab
[21:42] <Mood> umbrella: delete the partition?
[21:42] <Jack_Sparrow> xMopx_ Are you using ubuntu or the eee version of ubuntu
[21:42] <paul68> cool2k2: so my guess is I need to create the folder paul
[21:43] <mattgman> Slart_, http://pastebin.com/m5d2af9e8
[21:43] <cool2k2> paul68: instead of /home put /home/paul
[21:43] <Jack_Sparrow> umbrella You can delete  everything in your windows partition and use it for data if you want
[21:43] <umbrella> but will deleting the partition give the rest of the space to ubuntu
[21:43] <xMopx_> Jack_Sparrow: No
[21:43] <cool2k2> paul68:  /dev/sdc1            /home/paul        ext3        ........
[21:43] <cool2k2> paul68:  ok?
[21:43] <paul68> cool2k2: ok then safe?
[21:43] <Jack_Sparrow> xMopx_ It was not a  yes or no question
[21:43] <quibbler> jjansen, when you reinstalled you have to partition manually first choose a / partition and then show where you /home partition is
[21:43] <unop> umbrella, no, you'll have to assign that space to ubuntu
[21:43] <cool2k2> paul68: yes
[21:44] <paul68> cool2k2: ok hold on
[21:44] <umbrella> ......where do i do that
[21:44] <xMopx_> Jack_Sparrow: Sorry i read it quick, im not on the EEE version.
[21:44] <d3ads0ul> i am having problems with my cd drive.  I am not able to use any cd.  i put it in, it takes a little while and automatically ejects it.  I was wondering if someone may be able to take a few minutes and help me.  Thanks a lot
[21:44] <Slart_> mattgman: hmm.. there is an error about VCN there at the end.. that might have something to do with it..
[21:44] <baz>  d3ads0ul, was your cd ever working?
[21:44] <mattgman> slart_: you want me to go further?
[21:44] <Jack_Sparrow> umbrella You can  use  that other partition for /home or data whatever you want, but if you move or mess with it the uuid will change
[21:44] <Slart_> mattgman: have you run a chkdsk in windows on the drive?
[21:45] <Slart_> mattgman: nah, that's alright
[21:45] <d3ads0ul> baz: this is the first time ive tried using it after installing ubuntu
[21:45] <tey> question: anyone have a problem where the keyboard input isn't registered until a second key is pressed, then both are registered
[21:45] <mattgman> slart_: nope
[21:45] <baz> d3ads0ul, was it working in another OS?
[21:45] <mattgman> slart_: how do i do a chkdsk?
[21:45] <paul68> cool2k2: then reboot?
[21:45] <Slart_> mattgman: or scandisk or whatever it's called in windows
[21:45] <guntbert> tey: all  keys or only some?
[21:45] <d3ads0ul> yes it worked.  its the drive i used to install ubuntu
[21:45] <umbrella> Jack_Sparrow aight, ill take a swing at it
[21:46] <baz> d3ads0ul, did u use it to install ubuntu
[21:46] <mattgman> slart_: i dont have windows on, full ubuntu
[21:46] <cool2k2> paul68: 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 ntfs
[21:46] <Titan8990> Jack_Sparrow: I thought the whole advantage to using UUID over the dev name is because it would not change if moved
[21:46] <quibbler> jjansen, 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 ubuntu
[21:46] <tey> guntbert: any key. I can press a letter, then an arrow for example. Note: this instance is in vmware.
[21:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Titan8990 If you resize a drive  it wil change.. uuid is great for removeable devices etc..
[21:46] <mattgman> slart_: i don't want to go back to windows, but if i must to get my pictures (use them for work)
[21:46] <d3ads0ul> when i try to put a cd-r in it, it shows up as a cd-r for a second the auto ejects
[21:47] <baz> d3ads0ul, did u install all the ubuntu updates after your initial install
[21:47] <tey> but it only happens after i crash a python script
[21:47] <paul68> cool2k2: done
[21:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Titan8990 If he deletes his ntfs sda1   and adds two  partitions in there he will merss up grub and fstab both
[21:47] <d3ads0ul> i did install all updates
[21:47] <cool2k2> paul68: 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 scandisk
[21:47] <paul68> cool2k2: nope
[21:47] <cool2k2> paul68: now try to start your gnome sesion again
[21:47] <cool2k2> session
[21:48] <guntbert> tey: sp its *not* the 'dead keys' feature from your keyboard layout, but beyond that I have no idea either :(
[21:48] <paul68> cool2k2: praying
[21:48] <Slart_> mattgman: I'm not even sure that error is what is causing your files to disappear.. I've never seen it before though.. and googling for it seems to generate a lot of hits for threads where people are having hardware problems
[21:48] <Titan8990> Jack_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 now
[21:48] <baz> d3ads0ul, its much easier to see your msg's if u use my name in the beginning because they get highlighted
[21:48] <cool2k2> paul68: jaja, ok, i'm with you in the praying!
[21:48] <tey> yea. restarts fix it, just slightly annoying thanks for the help
[21:48] <guntbert> s/sp/so/
[21:49] <baz> d3ads0ul, does it behave hte same way if u put a non-empty cd in the drive?
[21:49] <danishjordan> Anyone know how I can set up an ubuntu network?
[21:49] <paul68> cool2k2: ben je ook nl?
[21:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Titan8990 Yes we use uuid's too, but I still keep mine as /dev/
[21:49] <d3ads0ul> baz, yes
[21:49] <d3ads0ul> baz, thats what i found strange
[21:49] <Titan8990> danishjordan: define "network"
[21:49] <baz> d3ads0ul, what brand
[21:50] <umbrella> danishjordan check the community pages first, if you can't find it report back
[21:50] <Slart_> danishjordan: run ethernet between ubuntu computers, start them up.. do you want to do anything special?
[21:50] <phretor> hi there
[21:50] <d3ads0ul> baz, an old hp
[21:50] <danishjordan> I want to be able to share files between the two computers.
[21:50] <paul68> cool2k2: just background no taskbars nothing
[21:50] <phretor> is there an effective alternative to pdisk which runs on linux (ubuntu)?
[21:50] <Titan8990> danishjordan: are both computers running ubuntu?
[21:50] <danishjordan> yes
[21:50] <umbrella> danishjordan find thyself an ethernet cable
[21:50] <Slart_> danishjordan: nfs or samba
[21:50] <izzy__> bill
[21:50] <ayfon> hello
[21:50] <danishjordan> one is connected using usb and one is connected using ethernet
[21:50] <ayfon> does the package gcc include g++
[21:51] <cool2k2> paul68: ok, but it doesn't complain anymore about the folder paul, does it??
[21:51]  * Alice222 pascal
[21:51] <izzy__> i need help turning on my wireless adapter
[21:51] <ayfon> and is there any cmdline utililty like nopaste in archlinux?
[21:51] <paul68> cool2k2: no just some errors on fonts and mouse
[21:51] <Titan8990> danishjordan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
[21:51] <danishjordan> Thanks.
[21:51] <filmore> phretor: cfdisk if you don't mind it being really technical
[21:51] <Titan8990> danishjordan: using usb? as in a direct connection to the other computer?
[21:51] <cool2k2> paul68: the rest of your configs are probably in some files that didn't copied
[21:51] <Slart_> !info gcc
[21:51] <filmore> phretor: and I don't know if it does resizing
[21:51] <Slart_> !info g++
[21:51] <wolter> which is the libglade python binding package?
[21:52] <baz> d3ads0ul, hmm, old is usually good... how long ago did u install ubuntu? also which version... 8.10?
[21:52] <Slart_> ayfon: what does nopaste do?
[21:52] <danishjordan> They are both connected to the internet modem. one with an ethernet cable, one with a USB cable.
[21:52] <ayfon> Slart_ you pipe output to nopaste
[21:52] <ayfon> it pastes to a website like pastebin instead of you
[21:52] <Slart_> ayfon: pastebinit or webboard
[21:52] <ayfon> and gives you the link
[21:52] <Titan8990> danishjordan: ah, that won't make a difference, but it may hurt the performance of transfers
[21:52] <Slart_> !info pastebinit | ayfon
[21:52] <paul68> cool2k2: how do I check this?
[21:52] <ayfon> ok thx Slart_
[21:52] <danishjordan> That's fine.
[21:52] <d3ads0ul> baz, a month or so  8.04.1
[21:53] <cool2k2> paul68: so you can close your gnome session, comment the line in fstab and then umount /dev/sdc1
[21:53] <paul68> ok
[21:53] <danishjordan> But if i restart with them connected together with a single ethernet cable, can i just transfer files while im offline?
[21:53] <umbrella> danishjordan i would suggest grabbing another ethernet cable and using it instead
[21:53] <d3ads0ul> baz, i tried putting the ubuntu cd in, it asks if i want to start package manager for it.  when i try my win2k disk it say
[21:53] <danishjordan> I cant. modem only has one ethernet spot.
[21:53] <izzy__> i need help with my wireless adapter
[21:54] <Titan8990> danishjordan: it has to be a ethernet crossover cable but yes, you can set up an ad-hoc network in that fashion
[21:54] <cool2k2> paul68: then you can start your gnome session again and everythink should look normal since you will be using your old /home/paul/* files  and not the ones in the new drive
[21:54] <izzy__> how
[21:54] <Brack10> Hi
[21:54] <Slart_> !wifi | izzy__
[21:54] <Titan8990> danishjordan: but I do recommend a small switch, they are fairly cheap and will save you a headache
[21:54] <nightrid3r> danishjordan: get yourself a cheap switch
[21:54] <umbrella> danishjordan you should be able to just connect an ethernet cable between them and they will just recognixe each other, worked for me somehow
[21:54] <d3ads0ul> baz, cannot unmount volume an application is preventing
[21:54] <Titan8990> umbrella: has to be a crossover cable....
[21:54] <Brack10> Security 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?
[21:55] <paul68> cool2k2: can't useumount it tels me that its busy
[21:55] <danishjordan> I'm gonna try that umbrella.
[21:55] <danishjordan> brb wishmeluck
[21:55] <umbrella> Titan8990: really, i didnt need one....hmmm, mustve been a fluke
[21:55] <cool2k2> paul68: did you closed your gnome session?
[21:55] <Mood> is 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 server
[21:55] <Titan8990> Mood: no
[21:55] <umbrella> danishjordan: i would suggest keeping the switch in mind in case my idea doesnt work
[21:55] <nightrid3r> umbrella: straigt cable works if only one side has autodmx or automdx ports
[21:55] <paul68> cool2k2: couldn.t will reboot adapt the fstab before logging into gnome
[21:56] <Mood> Titan8990: how come?
[21:56] <baz> d3ads0ul, 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 Monitor
[21:56] <Titan8990> umbrella: he left almost right after you suggested that
[21:56] <cool2k2> you can close it with ctrl+alt+backspace
[21:56] <umbrella> Titan8990: darn, ah well, if it doesnt work he can yell at me and get better help
[21:57] <d3ads0ul> baz, no, only thing i have open now is x-chat
[21:57] <Titan8990> Mood: 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/NDIS
[21:58] <Titan8990> Mood: the major GPU vendors, ATI and Nvidia, have provided proprietary drivers so I guess there really hasn't been a need for its development
[21:58] <Titan8990> Mood: plus the almost total lack of gamin in Linux.....
[21:58] <Mood> Titan8990: ok. i was thinking of backwards compatibility for older hardware
[21:58] <paul68> cool2k2: ok back to square 1
[21:58] <Titan8990> umbrella: I wouldn't worry about it, I believe that guy still has a lot to learn and this will all be part of the experience
[21:59] <Titan8990> Mood: What card do you have?
[21:59] <cool2k2> paul68: ok, are you in your gnome session normaly??
[21:59] <Mood> voodoo card
[21:59] <adi1> hi all
[21:59] <Mood> Titan8990: voodoo card
[21:59] <adi1> what can I use to record streaming video from web?
[21:59] <adi1> in ubuntu hardy
[21:59] <paul68> cool2k2: yes
[21:59] <Titan8990> Mood: there are open source voodoo drivers, not sure if they support thing like opengl
[21:59] <cool2k2> ok
[22:00] <Titan8990> Mood: let me see if I can get you a link to something that you may find useful
[22:00] <adi1> flv video on a website called arte +7
[22:00] <Mood> Titan8990: ah ok. i thought it'd be as simple as using the windows driver with some wrapper. i suppose not however
[22:00] <d3ads0ul> baz, An application is preventing the volume 'W2PFPP_EN' from being unmounted.
[22:00] <CoJaBo-Aztec> Is there a way to prevent gdm from being able to shut down the system?
[22:00] <cool2k2> paul68: 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 folder
[22:01] <Titan8990> Mood: no, the driver name is: "tdfx", it needs to enabled in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or whatever user-specific file Ubuntu is using these days
[22:01] <cool2k2> paul68: ok?
[22:01] <bod> whenever 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] <DVA5912> Im looking to set up an IRC for my website. What would be a good choice. And perferably something easy to configure
[22:01] <paul68> cool2k2: show me the way
[22:01] <Jordan_U> adi1, Just look in /tmp for the .flv file
[22:01] <Mood> Titan8990: thanks for the tips
[22:01] <Titan8990> Does anyone know why dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  will not write driver info to xorg.conf?
[22:01] <adi1> what is /tmp?
[22:02] <paul68> cool2k2: step by step I follow you
[22:02] <adi1> a dir?
[22:02] <cool2k2> paul68: ok
[22:02] <kbrosnan> bod: delete the lock file from your profile in ~/.mozilla/firefox/...
[22:02] <Mood> adil: yes
[22:02] <danishjordan> Yeah, that didn't really work. What was option number 2 again? ;)
[22:02] <KnK0> Titan8990: make a copy of cuent xorg.conf, do the reconfigure and copy back the old one :P
[22:02] <bod> Titan8990, try   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[22:02] <cool2k2> paul68: we can do it in the terminal or in the gnome session of root
[22:02] <adi1> and then what to do?
[22:02] <Titan8990> bod: thanks, wasn't asking for myself but still needed the info :)
[22:02] <Krstnsn> is there anyway to do some sort of file recovery?
[22:03] <paul68> cool2k2: tell me what to do I follow you what is the most familiar to you
[22:03] <Titan8990> Mood: did you catch those two replies?
[22:03] <cool2k2> paul68: ok.. mm
[22:03] <Jordan_U> adi1, Look for a file that ends in .flv, if there is one just copy it to wherever you want it
[22:03] <cool2k2> paul68: let's do it in the console
[22:03] <Titan8990> Mood: copy a backup of xorg then run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[22:03] <bod> Titan8990, no probs
[22:03] <Mood> Titan8990: yup
[22:03] <paul68> cool2k2: ok
[22:03] <kbrosnan> bod: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Remove_the_profile_lock_file
[22:03] <Brack10> also how can I configure my display settings manually? xorg.conf?
[22:03] <bod> kbrosnan, err, slight problem, i have a read only file system
[22:03] <adi1> there is no file.flv here.
[22:03] <cool2k2> paul68: ctrl + alt + F1
[22:03] <DVA5912> Im looking to set up an IRC for my website. What would be a good choice. And perferably something easy to configure
[22:03] <Krstnsn> anyone? recoving files that were deleted?
[22:04] <danishjordan> How do I seet up a home server again? it has to be through a modem
[22:04] <phorensic1> Brack10: yes
[22:04] <cool2k2> paul68: in the console execute "mount"
[22:04] <paul68> cool2k2: gnome session is still active
[22:04] <paul68> cool2k2: as root or as paul
[22:04] <cool2k2> paul68: ok, close your gnome session
[22:04] <rdz> i am trying to compile  lirc-modules-source. the readme only mentions 'dkms' but doesn't say anything about how to use it, respectively how to compile those modules. help appreciated
[22:04] <cool2k2> paul68: as paul is ok, we will use sudo
[22:05] <pfo> how do i set up ssh-askpass-fullscreen with kubuntu?
[22:05] <pfo> ie how do i redirect it's output to ssh-agent ?
[22:05] <DVA5912> WHATS A good irc server. dont nobody say that im shouting
[22:05] <danishjordan> How do i setup a home server?
[22:05] <Titan8990> danishjordan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo     ---- this could be considerably difficult without routing equipment....
[22:05] <danishjordan> thanks.
[22:05] <paul68> cool2k2: logged out in gnome and I am in the console
[22:06] <cool2k2> paul68: ok, execute "mount"
[22:06] <paul68> done
[22:06] <Titan8990> danishjordan: If you only have a couple files that need to be transfered, I would recommend a USB drive
[22:06] <adi1> Jordan | firefox is playing the video .flv but in /tmp there is no .flv file
[22:06] <cool2k2> paul68:  is there /dev/sdc1??
[22:06] <paul68> cool2k2: yes its there
[22:06] <cool2k2> paul68: where is mounted?
[22:06] <cool2k2> paul68: where is it mounted?
[22:06] <Jordan_U> adi1, What website?
[22:06] <danishjordan> Titan, it's about 1000 files ranging from 5-10 GB.
[22:06] <quibbler> adi1, look for a file that starts with flash
[22:07] <adi1> arte +7
[22:07] <paul68> cool2k2: its mounted /media/home
[22:07] <cool2k2> ok,
[22:07] <adi1> ok inside /tmp?
[22:07] <Mood> adil: if you're using firefox, type "about:cache" into your browser to see where the flv file is located
[22:07] <cool2k2> paul68: the command to copy paul is:
[22:07] <DVA5912> Does no one hear me!?
[22:07] <DVA5912> Whats an irc chat server for UBUNTU 8.04.
[22:07] <Titan8990> danishjordan: ehh, your looking at a long time no matter what you do. But still, remove HDD from computer A and hook it up to computer B via USB (either convertor or enclosure)
[22:08] <danishjordan> laptop to desktop >_>
[22:08] <DVA5912> What does freenode run?!?
[22:08] <grayhane> I need the command lime to un tar a directory full of .tgz files
[22:08] <pfo> no one using ssh-askpass ?
[22:08] <Titan8990> DVA5912: XMPP is much more common for home chat servers
[22:08] <Mood> grayhane: tar -zxvpf
[22:09] <cool2k2> paul68: sudo cp -R /home/paul /media/home
[22:09] <danishjordan> titan. I'm getting files from a laptop to a desktop.
[22:09] <Titan8990> DVA5912: IRC is meant for mass groups of people all in the same chat session
[22:09] <DVA5912> Titan8990: what about for a website chat server
[22:09] <cool2k2> paul68: ok?
[22:09] <paul68> cool2k2: ok
[22:09] <juanfe> heloo
[22:09] <Titan8990> DVA5912: I know nothing about embedded chat clients other than the fact that they are usually coded in java
[22:09] <grayhane> Mood, tnx
[22:10] <Titan8990> danishjordan: you can still remove the HDD from one and hook it up to the other
[22:10] <DVA5912> Titan8990: i hav a way to emplement an irc chat system to my site but i need to setone up on my computer
[22:10] <cool2k2> paul68: is it done?
[22:10] <paul68> cool2k2: got back to paul@paul-desktop so I presume it copied everything
[22:10] <juanfe> are there anyone that has a 1018 printer using in ubuntu?
[22:10] <cool2k2> paul68: ok
[22:10] <theguruofgod> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[22:10] <Titan8990> danishjordan: 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 convertor
[22:10] <cool2k2> paul68: yes
[22:10] <Mood> grayhane: np
[22:10] <theguruofgod> is 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] <cool2k2> paul68: now umount /dev/sdc1
[22:11] <paul68> cool2k2: how do I check?
[22:11] <Mood> njs_: type lspci
[22:11] <Slart_> theguruofgod: yes, it will do nicely
[22:11] <Mood> njs_: or lsusb if it's a usb stick
[22:11] <Titan8990> DVA5912: maybe you will find this helpful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_IRC_daemons
[22:11] <Brack10> theguruofgod: of course, but you'll need to be comfortable with the command line
[22:11] <cool2k2> paul68: 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_U> njs_, No
[22:12] <theguruofgod> Brack10, really??? can you not make a home server using the GUI instead
[22:12] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | njs
[22:12] <cool2k2> paul68:  to check you can do ls /media/home/paul
[22:12] <Slart_> theguruofgod: you can install the desktop version of ubuntu and use it as a server, no problem
[22:12] <njs_> Sorry, got unconnected, what?
[22:12] <Mood> njs_: just look for your connected card
[22:12] <Brack10> theguruofgod: you can but if anything breaks you'll be hard pressed to fix it with GUI tools
[22:12] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | njs_
[22:12] <phorensic1> theguruofgod: Do you want a web server?
[22:13] <Mood> njs_: you don't need to paste the whole output - just scan the lines for your pci or usb wifi card
[22:13] <theguruofgod> phorensic, no just a home file / printer server
[22:13] <cool2k2> paul68: ok, so after you unmounted your new drive and edited fstab now you can do "sudo mount -a"
[22:13] <phorensic1> theguruofgod: oh yah then use the desktop version, ubuntu will be great for that
[22:13] <njs_> 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[22:13] <Jordan_U> njs_, Have you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers ?
[22:13] <njs_> No luck with S > A > DH
[22:14] <njs_> Err, S > A > HD
[22:14] <Mood> njs_: go find the windows driver, sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper, and you're done
[22:14] <paul68> cool2k2: done that and now trying to list the ?media/home/paul  cannot access ??
[22:14] <Bodsda> ok 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] <Titan8990> Mood: there is a lot of times people have to blacklist kernel drivers as well
[22:14] <cool2k2> paul68: 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 again
[22:14] <Titan8990> njs_: from the vendor of your laptop
[22:15] <Jordan_U> njs_, 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] <phorensic1> theguruofgod: but if your mostly used to windows why not just use windows for that too? No that I ever recommend windows
[22:15] <barazok> hi all
[22:15] <barazok> Pull parsing VS sax parsing: what's better?
[22:15] <Mood> Titan8990: 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"
[22:16] <Titan8990> Mood: yes, sometimes there is a kernel driver that will load prior to Window's ndiswrapper driver, in that case, you have to blacklist it
[22:16] <Jordan_U> njs_, Can you try running "lsmod | grep ath" and tell me if it returns anything?
[22:16] <PIRATE_200> hola
[22:16] <PIRATE_200> XD
[22:16] <Titan8990> Mood: or if you are on a distro like slackware or gentoo, you just remove it from your kernel
[22:16] <cool2k2> paul68: how is everything??
[22:16] <barazok> what channel?
[22:16] <Bodsda> ok 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] <paul68> cool2k2: same error message your home directory is listed as /home/paul but ut does not appear to excist
[22:16] <njs_> ath_pci                99096  0
[22:16] <njs_> wlan                  211952  1 ath_pci
[22:16] <njs_> ath_hal               198864  1 ath_pci
[22:16] <Mood> Titan8990: ah, ok. but i think njs_ haven't tried ndiswrapper yet
[22:16] <Titan8990> njs_: those are the madwifi atheros drivers
[22:17] <phorensic1> Mood: perhaps but using ndiswrapper should be last choice
[22:17] <Titan8990> njs_: do you have a atheros card?
[22:17] <Slart_> barazok: I don't know.. XML something.. or #ubuntu-offtopic.. but not this one
[22:17] <cool2k2> paul68: check if that is correct, you should have /home/paul
[22:17] <njs_> I think so.
[22:17] <barazok> k
[22:17] <paul68> cool2k2: according to fstab its /home now
[22:17] <Mood> phorensic: really? i thought ndiswrapper was fairly well supported... until i saw on wiki that it was offline since Oct 08 for some reason
[22:17] <Titan8990> Mood: ndiswrapper is getting phased out completely
[22:18] <Mood> Titan8990: what's the replacement for ndiswrapper?
[22:18] <Titan8990> Mood: the native linux drivers usually work better, and they are open source, the way we like it
[22:18] <Titan8990> Mood: open source drivers that are built as kernel modules
[22:18] <cool2k2> mm.. ok
[22:18] <Bodsda> ok 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?
[22:18] <paul68> cool2k2: ok
[22:18] <Mood> Titan8990: ah ok, now i see where you were going originally about the blacklist in the kernel
[22:18] <Titan8990> Mood: using that method, there is usually no need to even configure the card
[22:19] <Titan8990> Mood: just works "out of the box"
[22:19] <cool2k2> paul68: execute ls /home/paul
[22:19] <cool2k2> paul68:  any error?
[22:19] <sacrebleu> please take this poll: http://gudagi.com/poll.html
[22:19] <Slart_> Bodsda: sounds like you had some disk problems and your home folder and possibly root got mounted read-only.. it's an automatic thing done when things not work out as planned
[22:19] <calliope> hello I have not upgraded in some time,  probably more than a year, and now when I run the update manager, there is a New distribution relase '7.10' is available with a button for upgrade. .. .. it then tries to down load a bunch of files which ends with a notice that several downloads did not succeed and then exits.
[22:19] <Mood> Titan8990: but you mean whitelist it from the kernel, not blacklist, right?
[22:19] <calliope> how do I get past this ?
[22:19] <Bodsda> Slart, it happens everytime i try to run with nvidia drivers
[22:20] <dupondje> Hi, how can I remote login to my ubuntu pc WITHOUT first needing to login locally ... not ssh but VNC-like ... ?
[22:20] <calliope> i tried several times
[22:20] <Jordan_U> njs_, Installing "linux-backports-modules-intrepid" may get your card to work ( I am still researching though )
[22:20] <biglia> hi
[22:20] <KnK0> calliope: try sudo apt-get update first
[22:20] <calliope> k
[22:20] <Titan8990> Mood: no you blacklist the drivers that are not the ndiswrapper driver that you are attempting to use
[22:20] <paul68> cool2k2: cannot access /home/paul no such file or directory
[22:20] <noon_> hi there, i have a problem with mediatomb and my ps3, i can see the upnp server, the files as well, but it takes ages before a avi is played and it lags too... same goes for music except the lagging part
[22:20] <umbrella> ok.....so i installed ubuntu from within windows on my eeepc, went to reboot, selected ubuntu....then it goes back to the boot choices, select ubuntu again, goes back to boot choices.
[22:20] <cool2k2> ok, so it's realy not there
[22:20] <scientes> im trying to get a DB-9 serial port to work over ethernet
[22:20] <Bodsda> paul68, what does    ls ~/    return?
[22:20] <cool2k2> paul68: ok let's umount /dev/sdc1
[22:20] <scientes> i have a working serial cable (presumable null modem)
[22:20] <Mood> Titan8990: ok i think i got it
[22:21] <cool2k2> paul68: edit fstab and comment that line
[22:21] <Mood> Titan8990: but i'd have to try it myself to really understand it methinks... currently i'm using ndiswrapper
[22:21] <scientes> and im trying to put ethernet in that look , but i can only pass through 8 of 9 pins, which do i leae out, do i need to turn down the speed?
[22:21] <Titan8990> Mood: with what card?
[22:21] <cool2k2> paul68: mount /dev/sdc1 in /media/home
[22:21] <paul68> cool2k2: checking my desktop through my laptop and in media/home there is no folder named paul
[22:22] <umbrella> ok.....so i installed ubuntu from within windows on my eeepc, went to reboot, selected ubuntu....then it goes back to the boot choices, select ubuntu again, goes back to boot choices.
[22:22] <Jordan_U> calliope, 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 to
[22:22] <Mood> Titan8990: let's see... Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 6c)
[22:22] <njs_> Yeah, nvidia's just evil.
[22:22] <cool2k2> paul68: if /media/home doesn't exist you can create it with "sudo mkdir /media/home"
[22:22] <calliope> Err http://archive.ubuntu.com feisty/multiverse Sources  404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.40 80]    ....   maybe I should delete (or comment out) these archive references from the sources.list
[22:22] <cool2k2> paul68: ok, we will copy the folder paul again
[22:22] <umbrella> helps please
[22:22] <Jack_Sparrow> calliope feisty is eol
[22:23] <phorensic2> eol?
[22:23] <phorensic2> end of life?
[22:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !eol
[22:23] <Titan8990> Mood: 3com usually has excellent linux support, there is likely an open source driver you could be using instead
[22:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !feisty
[22:23] <Jordan_U> njs_, Are you still there?
[22:23] <umbrella> please help, ok.....so i installed ubuntu from within windows on my eeepc, went to reboot, selected ubuntu....then it goes back to the boot choices, select ubuntu again, goes back to boot choices.
[22:23] <njs_> Yes
[22:24] <phorensic2> hmm
[22:24] <Titan8990> Mood: actually that is your ethernet, not wireless
[22:24] <pike_> umbrella: hit the letter e to edit the selection and then we can ask you what is on each line in the menu.lst file
[22:24] <Jack_Sparrow> umbrella Please  hold down the repeats.. I personally wont use nor recommend a wubi install from inside windows.. please see the faq for more info
[22:24] <pike_> umbrella: e = edit b= boot in grub menu
[22:24] <Mood> Titan8990: yup- i just noticed. it's Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
[22:24] <Mood> Titan8990: it's a linksys
[22:25] <calliope> i know eol is no longer software supported and that is part of why I want to upgrade
[22:25] <paul68> cool2k2: I am in /media/home
[22:25] <calliope> !eol
[22:25] <mfdavid> hi all. I installed a new sound card (SoundBlaster Live). I used to use an onboard sound, but it sucked. I configured the sound at system->preferences->sound. Totem works fine, but everything else I got no sound... games, etc. In debian I used to configure Alsa with alsaconf, but I cant find it under Ubuntu. Where can I config alsa?
[22:25] <noon_> anyone can help me with my problem of mediatomb and ps3 video lag? :'(
[22:26] <calliope> if it is only security updates then whats wrong with the upgrade
[22:26] <calliope> !upgrade
[22:26] <phorensic1> mfdavid: is it alsa-config?
[22:26] <umbrella> pike_: i cant even get there, it just leaves me at the screen that says "Please select the operating system to start"
[22:26] <Jack_Sparrow> calliope the repos no longer exist
[22:26] <cool2k2> paul68: sorry, let's start clean in there ok, umount /dev/sdc1 and execute "mke2fs -j /dev/sdc1" to format the drive again
[22:26] <phorensic1> alsamixer***
[22:26] <cool2k2> ok?
[22:27] <Jack_Sparrow> calliope YOu can edit  your sources list to an old archive and do your upgrade
[22:27] <calliope> Jack_Sparrow: there has to be a back up some where
[22:27] <Jordan_U> Jack_Sparrow, calliope They do, the just aren't supported and are at a different address
[22:27] <mfdavid> phorensic1: command not found. Alsamixer just change the volume. I need something to tell Alsa that my primary sound card is the SBLive.
[22:27] <maximal> ps
[22:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Jordan_U I am aware   yes
[22:27] <phorensic1> mfdavid: you can't do it through gui?
[22:27] <MichelleObama> Where's Dick?
[22:27] <paul68> cool2k2: ok but in ext3 please\
[22:27] <DickCheney> Here I am!
[22:27]  * MichelleObama drags Dick Cheney out of the wheelchair and humps him.
[22:28] <cool2k2> paul68: yes, that command formats the drive with ext3
[22:28] <mfdavid> phorensic1: Tried under system->proferences->sound, but as I said, it is only working for totem.
[22:28] <calliope> Jordan_U: ok so where can I learn what other sources still contain the upgrade to version 7.10
[22:28] <MichelleObama> $
[22:28] <phorensic1> mfdavid: perhaps it is a pulse audio issue?
[22:28] <umbrella> pike_: any clue what i may have done wrong
[22:28] <phorensic1> mfdavid: Im not too familiar with sound issues
[22:28] <paul68> cool2k2: ok busy
[22:28] <mfdavid> phorensic1: pulse audio?
[22:29] <cool2k2> paul68: or you can use   "mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1"
[22:29] <Jordan_U> calliope, looking now
[22:29] <njs_> Anything on that wifi?
[22:29] <phorensic1> !pulseaudio
[22:29] <noon_> anyone can help me with my problem of mediatomb and ps3 video lag? :'(
[22:29] <paul68> cool2k2: done
[22:30] <cool2k2> paul68: ok
[22:30] <phorensic1> mfdavid: I had some sound issues that were resulting from pulse audio in the past but I have no idea how it works lol
[22:30] <mfdavid> hehe
[22:30] <Jordan_U> calliope, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/
[22:30] <cool2k2> paul68: now mount it in /media/home (sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/home -t ext3)
[22:31] <e3co> hi everyone
[22:31] <paul68> cool2k2: done
[22:31] <calliope> Jordan_U: ok so substitiute old-releases.ubuntu onto each line then
[22:31] <cool2k2> paul68: now excecute "sudo cp -a /home/paul /media/home"
[22:31] <Jordan_U> njs_, ( in case you missed this comment before ) Installing "linux-backports-modules-intrepid" may get your card to work ( I am still researching though )
[22:31] <Jordan_U> calliope, yes
[22:32] <Jack_Sparrow> cool2k2 are you trying to help him setup a sep /home ?
[22:32] <paul68> Jack_Sparrow: yes
[22:32] <cool2k2> Jack_Sparrow: yes
[22:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !home
[22:32]  * mfdavid rebooting X11, will be back soon
[22:33] <e3co> paul68:  what is it archive, then partition, then unarchive?
[22:33] <Jack_Sparrow> cool2k2 the fstab mount is /home right  not /media/home
[22:33] <e3co> sorry i meant cool2k2
[22:33] <e3co> what is it archive, then partition, then unarchive?
[22:33] <Jordan_U> njs_, Did you see my last message?
[22:34] <njs_> Yes, I installed it but nothing came of it.
[22:34] <cool2k2> Jack_Sparrow: yes, we are migrating his old /home content into the new separated drive
[22:34] <CAiRO_> hi
[22:34] <e3co> hi cairo
[22:34] <Jordan_U> njs_, You may need to reboot ( or run "sudo modprobe ath5k" )
[22:35] <paul68> Jack_Sparrow: correct
[22:35] <CAiRO_> i have a problem, when i open the "Administration -> Users and Groups" dialog, i cannot unlock it because the unlock button is greyed
[22:35] <CAiRO_> how can i fix that?
[22:35] <Jack_Sparrow> ok, just checking
[22:35] <cool2k2> Jack_Sparrow: so /media/home is the new drive and we are coping the content of /home into /media/home
[22:35] <cool2k2> Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks}
[22:35] <e3co> CAiRO_:  neat problem
[22:35] <njs_> Modprobe didn't find ath5k...
[22:35] <e3co> CAiRO_:  which dist?
[22:35] <paul68> Jack_Sparrow: but when we try to copy everything to the new drive its not working some howe
[22:35] <CAiRO_> ubuntu 8.04
[22:36] <KabOom> test
[22:36] <e3co> CAiRO_:  fresh install or upgrade?
[22:36] <CAiRO_> fresh install.. and i'm pretty sure it has been working at some time before
[22:36] <Jack_Sparrow> paul68 cool2k2 care  to /join #Jack_Sparrow so we can get this worked out
[22:36] <Jordan_U> njs_, Can you please pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy linux-backports-modules-intrepid' /
[22:36] <cool2k2> paul68: did you execute "sudo cp -a /home/paul /media/home"?? that should work
[22:36] <cool2k2> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[22:37] <e3co> CAiRO_:  hmm
[22:37] <countd> anyone know i decent guide to transcode an mp4 file to dvd?
[22:37] <countd> can't seem to turn anything up on google
[22:38] <eni> someone knows something about hdsp hammerfall and ubuntu 8.10?
[22:38] <toader> Hi, in Ubuntu any tools that can convert PDF into JPG, or PNG file?
[22:38] <eni> there seems to be a bug - works fine with 8.04 but nothing under 8.10?
[22:38] <njs_> http://pastebin.com/d26d6bf56
[22:38] <Uplink> !webcam
[22:39] <nightrid3r> eni: thats a pro card, try to ask in #ubuntustudio
[22:39] <e3co> CAiRO_:  did you install the server and then add gui or the desktop version?
[22:39] <eni> je its a procard, i will ask there
[22:39] <eni> thanks
[22:39] <Uplink> wth!? no HP webcams supported!?
[22:39] <toader> Hi, in Ubuntu any tools that can convert PDF into JPG, or PNG file?
[22:40] <nightrid3r> !patience | toader
[22:40] <redvamp128> toader:  I am not to sure though but off hand I would say Foxit-
[22:40] <Uplink> lol!
[22:40] <Titan8990> Uplink: Other than printers, HP usually has fairly poor linux support
[22:40] <Uplink> Titan8990: that sucks bro =/
[22:40] <Uplink> Im buying a dell next time
[22:41] <Titan8990> Uplink: dell and toshiba have had the best support from my experience
[22:41] <Jordan_U> njs_, What is the output of "uname -r" ?
[22:41] <Uplink> Titan8990: hmm toshiba? arent dells better than toshiba
[22:41] <Uplink> and more sexxy ;D
[22:41] <njs_> 2.6.27-7-generic
[22:41] <aciu> Uplink, you wont get dell ubuntu preinstalet :(
[22:41] <puff> What are the odds that aa ubuntu hardy install on a 320GB drive with a single big LVM partition will boot up on random (fairly recent) hardware?
[22:41] <Titan8990> Uplink: with laptops it typically comes down to preference, I prefer toshibas
[22:41] <Uplink> aciu: i want archlinux on my PC too :D
[22:42] <puff> I'm pretty sure neither the old case/motherboard/cpu nor the new one have anything exotic.
[22:42] <Titan8990> Uplink: but I have seen some really nice dells with 17" 1920x1200 display :)
[22:42] <Uplink> Titan8990: oh really? why so? arent sony vaio good too?
[22:42] <puff> Titan8990:  What was the question?
[22:42] <Uplink> Titan8990: if i ever buy a laptop again i would buy a sony vaio or a Mac but i want linux on it =[
[22:42] <Titan8990> Uplink: wouldn't know about the vaios, don't know from experience but I also here leveno is good
[22:43] <redvamp128> Uplink:  Vaio -- only if you double check the battery number as well as the charger number --
[22:43] <Uplink> redvamp128: what is that supposed to mean lol
[22:43] <puff> Uplink: I have a thinkpad t43p, one of the last batch manufactured by IBM before they sold the line to lenovo.
[22:43] <redvamp128> Uplink:  I know of 4 people who had returns or rather had to send them in--
[22:43] <Uplink> redvamp128: oh wow why
[22:44] <Uplink> puff: thinkpads are oldschool :D
[22:44] <Uplink> do thinkpads support ubuntu tho?
[22:44] <puff> Uplink: Well, I couldn't afford a fully ruggedized laptop.
[22:44] <puff> Uplink: I've been running ubuntu on my thinkpad for three+ years now, been pretty good.
[22:44] <Titan8990> Uplink: I'm sure they do, usually anything IBM has a hand in usually has good linux support
[22:44] <Uplink> does ur pc start going 100% when u run flash?
[22:44] <redvamp128> Uplink:  They all had sony vaio's and the battery on some had to be replaced-- then they had to switch to the external battery and charger -- something about overheating during charging. (only affects some models though) but 4 people I know personally... makes one think 2x about getting them.
[22:45] <Uplink> redvamp128: they are sexxy tho
[22:45] <Jordan_U> njs_,That is odd, ath5k should be there. Have you tried rebooting? ( it shouldn't be necessary but can't hurt )
[22:46] <umbrella> Uplink: I would prefer the safety of my crotch over the prettiness of my laptop
[22:46] <redvamp128> Uplink:  yes they ran great but when you set your laptop on a flat desk and it melts the plastic cover kind of makes one think about if you wanted to put it on your lap.
[22:46] <nightrid3r> Uplink: the 20'' from HP thats sexy
[22:46] <puff> So can anybody answer my question about booting up an ubuntu installed drive in a different case/mb/cpu?
[22:46] <redvamp128> Uplink:  though to note once you-- move it to the external battery and charger it does just fine.
[22:46] <Uplink> LOL
[22:46] <Titan8990> Jordan_U: I saw him report a lsmod earlier and a5k was loaded.....
[22:47] <Apjone> Vamp wots the q?
[22:47] <Uplink> alright thanx everyone for their feedback... i gotta get going
[22:47] <Uplink> see ya
[22:47] <redvamp128> Uplink:  though it only affects certain models though-- I would have have to check the number of models from friends
[22:47] <Jordan_U> Titan8990, Maybe it was just a typo when he ran modprobe then
[22:47] <sacrebleu> please take this poll: http://gudagi.com/poll.html
[22:47] <puff> Uplink: I considered dell, thinkpad and apple when it came time to buy.  Ultimately apple didn't have good java support at th etime (it hsa improved) and I work with java, so I ruled out apple.  Dell has great support, but I'd rather have the laptop not break to begin with.
[22:47] <Ferrous> hallo. I've got a rather complex problem reguarding installation of grub from an ubuntu live cd as i installed ubuntu to an external hard drive and it ruined the current install of grub on the windows machine. I'd rather the machine only run window at the moment- it isnt mine. When i try to follow guides, using find /boot/grub/stage1 comes up with an error 15 [file not found]
[22:47] <puff> And as it turns out, thinkpads also have great support.
[22:47] <nightrid3r> puff: there should be little problem except maybe video card
[22:47] <puff> Thinkpads are built like tanks, especailly the T series.
[22:47] <redvamp128> puff:  uplink has left the building right before my last comment
[22:48] <Titan8990> Jordan_U: I saw it... ath_pci and its dependency
[22:48] <puff> Dangit.
[22:48] <puff> Ah well.
[22:48] <puff> I'd still like to get a milspec ruggedized laptop :-).
[22:48] <pike_> puff: 1) pop in a livecd and boot from that  2) do a sudo fdisk -l to see what your ubuntu drive is (sda1 or sdb1 etc) 3) sudo grub  4) root (sdb1)  5) setup (sda)   <-- or just edit your MB bios to boot the other drive frist but those steps will install grub to the first hd mbr (sda)
[22:48] <puff> nightrid3r:  Thanks.
[22:48] <pike_> ^  i think
[22:48] <Jordan_U> Titan8990, to be clear, you saw ath5k and ath_pci ?
[22:48] <Apjone> Puff also check mac address in /etc/iftab sometimes may cause u not to have networking
[22:49] <Titan8990> Jordan_U: If you were here that long, i have it timestamped for :16 of the current hour
[22:49] <aciu> if i where buying new laptp, i would looking for one witch is supported by virtualization any lap has wind preinstalled
[22:49] <Ferrous> might anyone have an idea how to fix my problem i stated earlier?
[22:50] <Apjone> Ferrous: wot problem?
[22:50] <cbwcjw> Read up :)
[22:50] <Ferrous> just a page up... i can send it again if you like
[22:50] <Jordan_U> Titan8990, I was here, but unfortunately my scrollback only goes to :22
[22:51] <pike_> Ferrous: occational reposts are ok as long as they are spaced out just ask again
[22:51] <Ferrous> alrighty-
[22:51] <Ferrous> hallo. I've got a rather complex problem reguarding installation of grub from an ubuntu live cd as i installed ubuntu to an external hard drive and it ruined the current install of grub on the windows machine. I'd rather the machine only run window at the moment- it isnt mine. When i try to follow guides, using find /boot/grub/stage1 comes up with an error 15 [file not found]
[22:52] <Apjone> Just seen, hmm verry odd. Maybe live cd and chroot to disk and update grub. Sorry using ipod atm,  laptop is in other room
[22:52] <Titan8990> Jordan_U: well it looks like he doesn't have ath_hal that is present on my laptop but I patched my ath5k drivers for injection
[22:52] <pike_> Ferrous: i think you can boot a windows disk and do a fdisk /mbr  from windows command prompt to just install windows boot loader again
[22:52] <Jordan_U> Ferrous, If you need to you can always run "fixboot" from a windows install CD and replace grub entirely
[22:52] <pike_> Ferrous: or ah fixboot i guess:)
[22:53] <Ferrous> pike, i dont have my administrator password. heh. I tried that ;[ I havent tried using "Admin" ass the password, but none and a space doesnt work
[22:53] <calliope> hm the distribution upograde has progressed to the next stage
[22:53] <pike_> Ferrous: personally i like grub so what i would do is have a seperate partition with grub installed and then have grub load windows
[22:53] <cbwcjw> What if I liked grub though, what would I do (Ive had this issue sort-of before)
[22:53] <Ferrous> is there a defailt administrator password for windows? the accounts have no passwords on them
[22:53] <Jordan_U> Ferrous, If it's XP then use some rainbow tables :)
[22:53] <cbwcjw> That was a fast response eh?
[22:53] <Vitautas> hi all
[22:54] <pike_> cbwcjw: like a 10-50MB boot partition
[22:54] <Apjone> Ferrous; lots of tools out there to reset admin psssword
[22:54] <Titan8990> Ferrous: they make registry editing live CDs for windows that will reset the password for non-domain controllers
[22:54] <Titan8990> Ferrous: let me see if I can find a link
[22:54] <aciu> does fdisk have /bmr command ?
[22:54] <calliope> i get an error for modifying the software channels; darn could not find some gutsy repositories under the the old-releases
[22:54] <Ferrous> aye, i shall need to burn more disks >_<
[22:54] <nightrid3r> aciu: yes
[22:55] <calliope> now it choked and died entirely
[22:55] <nightrid3r> aciu: well the windows one has
[22:55] <Peddy> Hi, how would I completely remove KDE and all KDE apps?
[22:55] <fosco_> !puregnome | Peddy
[22:55] <Jordan_U> Ferrous, http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/
[22:55] <pike_> Peddy: the best way is to remove a common dependancy like the qt lib just remove one of the qt libs and it should pull all kde stuff too
[22:55] <Titan8990> Ferrous: http://honeytech.wordpress.com/2006/12/05/offline-nt-password-registry-editor-bootdisk-cd/
[22:55] <Peddy> thanks pike_, fosco_.
[22:56] <Hilaus> hi
[22:56] <aciu> nightrid3r, thing you helped me some :) thanks
[22:56] <howl> Hello, I am trying to use X11 forwarding.  I am using an ubuntu client connecting to an ubuntu server.  I am using the command ssh -X username@ipaddress.  When I start a program like, say firefox, it launches a local copy of firefox instead of one from the server.  Am I missing something?
[22:56] <phorensic> sudo apt-get remove --purge windowsxp && sudo apt-get install ubuntu
[22:56] <pike_> Hilaus: hi
[22:56] <Hilaus> I'm trying to install some new packages using aptitude but I get this error: " 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.40 80] "
[22:57] <bukowski> hu
[22:57] <Izinucs> I just enabled "Third-Party-Software" repo channel in Synaptic called archive.canonical.com/ubuntu intrepid partner.  I now have 22 updates from this connection. What's the danger in this repo? Should it be enabled all the time? Are the updates there for you to just cherry pick for your "most annoying issue"?
[22:57] <calliope> Jordan_U: the upgrade tool said it wanted to change the feisty entries to be gutsy entries and so I surmise that the sources.list should have a set of both entries for feisty and for gutsy. what do you think about that?
[22:58] <Lillymon> Does anyone have any idea how to change the tooltip text colour that GTK+ applications use? This seems to be an odd and alien idea that no one has ever considered, but can it be done?
[22:58] <bukowski> im trying to make a LAN over a crossover cable between a kubuntu and an ubuntu pc?
[22:59] <iamtheric> just use a regular cable
[22:59] <iamtheric> cat 5e
[22:59] <Titan8990> Izinucs: 3rd party repos do have potential to cause problems, along with the difficulty to support issues
[22:59] <Jordan_U> calliope, It should only have entries for one release at a time ( you can probably trust the upgrade tool )
[22:59] <calliope> the upgrade tool keeps choking
[22:59] <Izinucs> Titan8990: are the packages in there "proposed"? and may come down normally in the near future?
[23:00] <Jordan_U> calliope, What does it do exactly?
[23:00] <calliope> it tries to use gutsy from old releases which probably does not have gutsy yet
[23:00] <jsaveker001> iamtheric: Would he not need to use a switch/router/hub if using only normal cables?
[23:00] <umbrella> aight this may seem like a step in the wrong direction, but how do i completely rid myself of anything ubuntu related from windows. i need to restart the installation cause i think i did something wrong at the start (trying to use a live cd from a usb optical drive)
[23:00] <Titan8990> Izinucs: I don't have any experience with the repo, I would assume so
[23:00] <Peddy> how can I force-remove something with apt-get?
[23:00] <umbrella> *that's what i tried first
[23:00] <iamtheric> jsaveker001, ive made a router before with normal cables
[23:00] <Titan8990> bukowski: you need 1 A pattern and 1 B pattern....
[23:01] <umbrella> I need to be able to start from scratch and use only the usb key method
[23:01] <bukowski> Titan8990, i am kind of noob. What is lA and LB pattern?
[23:01] <jsaveker001> iamtheric: Please exaplin... I would love to do something similar... it would save me lots of hassle playing around with cross over cables
[23:01] <Titan8990> bukowski: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable
[23:02] <Titan8990> bukowski: you need certain tools to make a crossover cable, a crimper to be specific
[23:02] <bukowski> Titan8990, i bought a crossover cable from a store. Isnt it OK?
[23:03] <Titan8990> bukowski: yes
[23:03] <phorensic> Titan8990: You could ghetto rig it and use a regular cable and crosee the wires in the center of the cable manually... not recommended though of course
[23:03] <bukowski> Titan8990, and after it?
[23:03] <Ceninant> Um, how do I get the user list to the side like mIRC?
[23:04] <redvamp128> bukowski:  I think it should be ok-- because most modern network cards have autosense though I am not sure how to enable them through ubuntu-
[23:04] <Titan8990> bukowski: configure the network manager to put both computers on the same network
[23:04] <Titan8990> bukowski: you will need to assign the addresses statically since there is no dhcp server
[23:04] <ryanakca> Can IMAP mailboxes have submailboxes? Ex, ML/List1, ML/List2, etc?
[23:04] <bukowski> Titan8990, sorry for my being so noob... but where is this network manager thing?
[23:04] <Jordan_U> calliope, Ahh, I think the safest ( if a bit cludged ) thing to do would be to stop the upgrade, put duplicate entries for *feisty*, one set for archive.ubuntu.com, one for old-releases so one of them will be valid both before and after your sources.list is modified by the upgrader. That or just do a manual apt-get dist-upgrade
[23:04] <mfdavid> im trying to configure my sound card. I have a onboard intel and an offborad sound blaster live. totem and a few gnome sounds are played at the sound blaster (correct!) BUT games sounds, VLC and others are using the onboard card... how can I configure it to only use the offboard?
[23:05] <jsaveker001> redvamp128: Does the "autosense" feature mean you dont need a crossed over cable with modern nics?
[23:05] <Titan8990> bukowski: I am not using Ubuntu atm but I think that it is System -> Administration
[23:05] <redvamp128> jsaveker001:  yes it detects what kind of traffic is incomming and adjustes itself accordingly
[23:05] <bukowski> oh no, there is no such thing in administration.
[23:05] <Cpudan80> Is it safe to take away my own write permissions on a file?
[23:06] <calliope> Jordan_U: so gutsy entries need to be archive.ubuntu.com is that correct
[23:06] <Cpudan80> IE. Will I be able to put them back
[23:06] <redvamp128> jsaveker001:  though In windows there is an option for it in the device manager to enable that feature --- but in ubuntu I don't know.
[23:06] <jsaveker001> redvamp128: well that's pretty handy... thanks for the heads up
[23:06] <Jordan_U> calliope, Yes
[23:06] <redvamp128> mfdavid:  I would go into the bios and disable the onboard sound-- then use the dpkg reconfigure alsa
[23:06] <iamtheric> its one of the first google links guys
[23:06] <iamtheric> how to make ubuntu into a router
[23:07] <mfdavid> redvamp128: no way to disable it under bios.
[23:07] <iamtheric> http://ubuntulinuxhowto.blogspot.com/2006/06/setup-your-computer-to-be-router.html
[23:07] <iamtheric> that link
[23:07] <iamtheric> jsaveker001, http://ubuntulinuxhowto.blogspot.com/2006/06/setup-your-computer-to-be-router.html
[23:07] <redvamp128> mfdavid:  motherboard or manufacturer
[23:07] <calliope> oh I see two sets for feisty one at archive and one at old-releases and then during the first upgrade stage the archive will fail and then after the upgrade manager changes them to gutsy the old-release will fail and the archive. will work.   is that correct??
[23:07] <Tapout> is there a shortcut key to swap to the other desktop?
[23:07] <bukowski> thanks iamtheric :)
[23:07] <unop> Cpudan80, as long as you own the file, yes
[23:07] <iamtheric> jsaveker001, ive followed that exactly
[23:07] <Cpudan80> thats what I thought
[23:07] <Jordan_U> calliope, Yes
[23:07] <iamtheric> jsaveker001, and gotten it to work
[23:07] <Cpudan80> Stupid mouse keys keep turning on
[23:07] <redvamp128> mfdavid:  also it is possible there is a jumper on the motherboard for the older computers that is...
[23:08] <edythemighty> Hey #ubuntu. mib_z6ufu0 has a problem getting his Philips webcam to work under Ubuntu. Anyone able to help?
[23:08] <Cpudan80> I finally found what file has the setting --- I intend to make it uneditable
[23:08] <phorensic> Cpudan80: of course you could have tested it on a generic txt file or something
[23:08] <Cpudan80> I suppose
[23:08] <Cpudan80> but then I'd be stuck with a messed up txt file
[23:08] <mfdavid> redvamp128: its a new gigabyte motherboard (quadcore). But ill check it out. Thanks.
[23:08] <jsaveker001> iamtheric: I think we got our wires crossed.. I am familiar with iptables... I just did not realise two computers could chat via one cable if it was not crossed over... the autodetect feature is new for me
[23:08] <redvamp128> mfdavid:  the only other thing though you would have to ask someone else how to do it...
[23:08] <unop> Cpudan80, you can still write to a file (if you own it) after taking away write permissions for yourself :)
[23:09] <Cpudan80> unop: dammit
[23:09] <redvamp128> mfdavid:  that is to blacklist the intel sound in the hardware file
[23:09] <phorensic> Cpudan80: thats why you create one with nothing in it, delete if it gets jacked up
[23:09] <Cpudan80> unop: I'll chown it to root
[23:09] <unop> Cpudan80, you might want to make it immutable in that case .. see chattr(1)
[23:09] <unop> Cpudan80, even then :) .. if you own the directory, you can still write to the file
[23:09] <Cpudan80> unop: huh?
[23:09] <Jordan_U> unop, Wouldn't you need to chmod it first before being able to write to it?
[23:09] <Cpudan80> unop: that's not true
[23:09] <mfdavid> redvamp128: ok. Ill shutdown now to see if I find any jumps. Thanks. cya
[23:09] <unop> Cpudan80, try it out
[23:09] <redvamp128> mfdavid:  though unsure the exact file- -- but I know that would be a way to software do it ..
[23:09] <Cpudan80> unop: ok
[23:10] <laeg-ugh> i deleted my root partition by mistake but i still have the home one, if i reinstall on the unpartitioned space everything will be like it was, right?
[23:10] <ryanprior> My 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?
[23:11] <Cpudan80> unop: odd
[23:11] <phorensic> ryanprior: is this a file that didn't download or what is it?
[23:11] <Jordan_U> unop, Are you talking about the special case of root, or in general ?
[23:11] <Cpudan80> unop: but I had to override to write it
[23:11] <pike_> laeg-ugh: youll need to point /home toward your home partition in /etc/fstab but yeah all your settings will be there after that
[23:12] <laeg-ugh> pike_: sweet :D
[23:12] <laeg-ugh> ty
[23:12] <unop> Jordan_U, errm, perhaps the former
[23:12] <unop> Cpudan80, yea, but did you have to chown before that?
[23:12] <Cpudan80> no
[23:12] <ryanprior> phorensic: I tried this morning to empty my trash can and the operation hung, so I hit "empty trash" again and it worked. But this notification never went away.
[23:12] <Cpudan80> unop: hopefully the stupid keyboard accessibility thing wont ignore the fact that it is read only
[23:12] <Cpudan80> and not owned by me
[23:13] <lukebassett> will installing ubuntu on a macbook effect my OSX experience in anyway besides restricting part of the hard drive? and do i need any other software to be able to boot to both operating systems?
[23:13] <LinuxJunke> nvidia 9400 GT problem  hooked up to tv need screen to be smaller
[23:13] <unop> Cpudan80, well, make it immutable and it should be fine
[23:13] <gmonnerat> hi all, someone works with Xvfb in ubuntu? Always when i have to start(Xvfb), i need rm /tmp/.X99-lock. Someone knows?
[23:13] <phorensic> ryanprior: hmm did you check in top to see if there is a process you can kill?
[23:13] <Cpudan80> unop: how do you do that?
[23:13] <unop> Cpudan80, see chattr(1)
[23:13] <redvamp128> ryanprior:  simple thing to try-- make a blank file and name it then move it to trash-- then clear trash
[23:13] <Jordan_U> lukebassett, No and no
[23:13] <LinuxJunke> nvidia 9400 GT toolbars on top and bottom dont show up 8.10 8.04 need settings manager options for tv?
[23:13] <pike_> LinuxJunke: can you elaborate a bit?  is this a hdtv? screensize on standard def is kinda set in stone
[23:14] <Jordan_U> lukebassett, You may want to install rEFIt to get a boot menu, but you don't need to ( you can just hold option down at boot )
[23:14] <phorensic> LinuxJunke: so its a window decoration problem?
[23:14] <redvamp128> ryanprior:  sometimes that will remove the trash is full notification
[23:14] <LinuxJunke> no hdtv  standard tv 5500 nvidia worked fine
[23:14] <bluey_> hi people
[23:14] <LinuxJunke> just upgrader to the 9400gt wont work settings manager looks different
[23:14] <bieb> ok... 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). But once I reboot it defaults back to "cloned desktop" any idea how to stop it from doing that? (other than not rebooting.. :D  )
[23:14] <Ceninant> Eh, I don't really like xchat too well.
[23:15] <bluey_> where do i set up my internet ip ans gateway etc
[23:15] <LinuxJunke> not sure
[23:15] <phorensic> LinuxJunke: Maybe you need to reinstall the graphics drivers ??
[23:15] <blue112> Hello everyone, apt-get says me a funny french error that I don't understand.
[23:15] <blue112> Can someone help me ?
[23:16] <LinuxJunke> the desktop is outta range of the screen resoulution
[23:16] <veritos> I'm on 64-bit and want to install ubuntu-restricted-extras. However, I don't want *any* sun-java6-* packages, just the OpenJDK ones. How would I pull this off?
[23:16] <Jordan_U> blue112, Can you pastebin the error, and are you french / have you changed any language settings ?
[23:16] <LinuxJunke> already done that from nvidia site and from ubuntu repositories
[23:16] <Cpudan80> unop: that appears to have worked - thanks
[23:16] <blue112> Jordan_U: I'm french, and I haven't changed anything :)
[23:17] <nightrid3r> blue112: we cant help you with the being french part :)
[23:17] <blue112> The error is really short : With LANG=CC, it says : Erreur du busge lists... 0%
[23:17] <Jordan_U> blue112, There is a french channel, but the error is probably recognizable
[23:17] <redvamp128> Jordan_U:  I had/have that issue sometimes though mainly -- for me I installed Gweled and it has french menu's though because I have played the games so many times I know the default menu
[23:17] <phorensic> LinuxJunke: Have you tried to manually edit the xorg file, sounds like you just have the wrong settings for the screen then?
[23:17] <blue112> Jordan_U: The french channel is dead.
[23:17] <redvamp128> !fr | blue112
[23:17] <blue112> Without it says : Erreur du busistes de paquets... 0%
[23:18] <blue112> redvamp128: I'm speaking english.
[23:18] <pike_> blue112: can you tell us the error?
[23:18] <calliope> Jordan_U: as soon as the upgrade tool reports that it failed to get archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/feisty the program exits and doesnt try the change to gutsy
[23:18] <blue112> pike_: The error is really short : With LANG=CC, it says : Erreur du busge lists... 0%, without it says : Erreur du busistes de paquets... 0%
[23:18] <pike_> blue112: nm just saw it
[23:18] <blouf> pike_, the error is in french :)
[23:18] <LinuxJunke> gonnA TRY THat now
[23:19] <phorensic> LinuxJunke: So you did try sudo nvidia-settings though rght?
[23:19] <blouf> pike_, in french "busiste" doesn't mean nothing ... that's the problem !
[23:19] <calliope> Jordan_U: I see a few typos so ill try it again
[23:19] <redvamp128> blue112:  try the following-- sudo apt-get update
[23:19] <blue112> redvamp128: Every apt command says the same thing.
[23:19] <blue112> Clean works.
[23:20] <blue112> But doesn't change anything.
[23:20] <redvamp128> purge?
[23:20] <LinuxJunke> yes
[23:20] <blue112> same
[23:20] <blue112> Erreur du busistes de paquets... 0%
[23:20] <unop> Jordan_U,  maybe i mean both cases after all .. http://pastebin.com/d3766b466
[23:20] <LinuxJunke> what should i put in the xorg file where?
[23:20] <redvamp128> blue112:  even after a reboot?
[23:20] <blue112> redvamp128: Why rebooting does change anything ?
[23:21] <_Vi_> isnt rebooting kinda a windows thing?
[23:21] <Jordan_U> calliope, 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-manager
[23:21] <redvamp128> blue112:  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] <phorensic> LinuxJunke: you need to look for the screen section and make sure that the information matches your tv's capabilities
[23:22] <redvamp128> blue112:  have you added any lines to your apt?
[23:22] <blue112> pike_: It download the packet list, bug at the end, says the same error (and quit)
[23:22] <blue112> None.
[23:22] <blue112> but*
[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 option
[23:22] <blouf> blue112, try to google it
[23:22] <blue112> I've tried
[23:22] <blue112> Nothing about it :/
[23:22] <redvamp128> what about your software sources?
[23:22] <blue112> That's why i'm here.
[23:23] <blue112> redvamp128: I don't really understand what you mean...
[23:23] <blue112> Ok, I understand.
[23:23] <blue112> Nothing between this bug and before.
[23:23] <_Vi_> phorensic: yea im aware that even linux needs reboot for like kernel updates, but for the most part not needed or not needed nearly as much as Winderz
[23:23] <redvamp128> blue112:  have you added any other software sources from the menu.
[23:23] <phorensic> _Vi_: very true indeed
[23:24] <phorensic> _Vi_: pretty ridiculous how most program installes require reboots in windows
[23:24] <blue112> Actually I have only the official ones.
[23:24] <mchan> hi
[23:24] <phorensic> !hi mchan
[23:24] <polishpaul> how is a "windows manager" different from a "desktop"? (http://xwinman.org/)
[23:24] <_Vi_> phorensic: yeah no doubt
[23:24] <Sanketsu> In gedit on my desktop running Ubuntu Intrepid, it's telling me that pluralized words like "words" or "fingers" are misspelled, where as "word" and "finger" is not.  Is there some way to get an updated dictionary for it?
[23:25] <Jordan_U> unop, I guess it's just the shell that won't allow it ( echo "foobar" > foo will fail )
[23:25] <blue112> ._.
[23:25] <Jordan_U> unop, But the shell will allow redirection to a read only file as root
[23:25] <mitul> hello all ubuntians
[23:25] <mchan> does anyone know if X forwarding works when bridging with SSH? e.g., i log into a login server and then log into a terminal. will i be able to X forward from the terminal to the login server then to my machine?
[23:25] <phorensic> polishpaul: 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 same
[23:26] <mitul> hey anyone kno if digsby made a linux version
[23:26] <veritos> I'm on 64-bit and want to install ubuntu-restricted-extras. However, I don't want *any* sun-java6-* packages, just the OpenJDK ones. How would I pull this off?
[23:26] <Titan8990> polishpaul: desktops require a window manager, for example, gnome uses metacity window manager
[23:26] <blue112> So ? Can't anyone help me ?
[23:26] <calliope> Jordan_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 manually
[23:27] <polishpaul> phorensic, 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 fine
[23:27] <unop> Jordan_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] <calliope> hm it just ended by updating to feisty packages
[23:27] <Jordan_U> calliope, You do that manually
[23:27] <phorensic> polishpaul: Im not familiar with openbox
[23:27] <calliope> ill do that manually now and then I suppose I run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade again and that would be the end of it
[23:28] <phorensic> calliope: dont forget the sudo apt-get update after you add the repository
[23:28] <Jordan_U> calliope, Yes, you may run into some general upgrade problems of course
[23:28] <polishpaul> hmm, ok, so how about this - is there a sturctured approach to having multiple Windows Managers on one install? How can i easily switch/manage them to test them out?
[23:28] <blue112> I need some help. Google says that "dselect" can help me... But when I try to run it, it says that I have to install it with "sudo apt-get install dselect"... What can I do ?
[23:28] <phorensic> polishpaul: ubuntu does that for you, using sessions.
[23:29] <redvamp128> blue112:  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 think
[23:29] <phorensic> polishpaul: you select which manager you want to use before you log in. o9or it uses the default)
[23:29] <redvamp128> if dselect is what you need
[23:29] <blue112> I'll try with the .deb.
[23:29] <redvamp128> Ubuntu -- Ubuntu Packages Search <http://packages.ubuntu.com/>
[23:29] <redvamp128> blue112:  Ubuntu -- Ubuntu Packages Search <http://packages.ubuntu.com/>
[23:29] <blue112> I know this site :)
[23:30] <redvamp128> though  I think if apt is locked up -- a deb may not install -- package manger busy error
[23:30] <blue112> dpkg seams to works :)
[23:30] <mfdavid> hi all. How can I blacklist a sound modulo, so the system does not load/use it? Its a sound card... its killing me!
[23:30] <unop> polishpaul, you can only have one window manager running on a display at one time. you can have multiple displays running different window managers tho.
[23:31] <messeup> i want to install ubuntu on my eee. it got xandros "which sucks imo" however i do not have a usb pen. is it possible to install it from a usb disk ? got a 300GB mybook usb disk,
[23:31] <Shakedown> Anybody got suggestions for enabling direct rendering for 3D on my ATI card? I've tried all the xorg.conf suggestions I can find.
[23:31] <phorensic> unop: Unless you virtualize one inside the other :-p
[23:31] <bukowski> i have a laptop with an atheros AR5007 wifi card. wich package i need to install for it to work?
[23:31] <unop> phorensic, that still constitutes multiple displays
[23:31] <blue112> "/usr/lib/dpkg/methods/apt/update: line 42:  9943 Erreur du bus           $APTGET $OPTS "$APT_OPT0" "$APT_OPT1" update"
[23:31] <blue112> :/
[23:32] <pike_> Shakedown: might ask in #radeonhd or #radeon
[23:32] <polishpaul> So how would i go about changing the window manager? Drop to shell, then run startx with another config or something? <--- confused
[23:32] <Shakedown> Ah, thank you
[23:32] <pike_> polishpaul: alot of wms have a --replace switch so in term youd do  windowmanager --replace   or just kill one and launch the other
[23:32] <phorensic> polishpaul: look for the sessions button upon login, select the manager you wish to log in to (assuming it is installed)
[23:33] <mchan> does anyone know if X forwarding works while SSH chaining? e.g., i log into a login server and then log into a terminal. will i be able to X forward from the terminal to the login server then to my machine?
[23:33] <woo> can anyone help with permissions using a live disk and an IQ00 user?
[23:33] <Titan8990> polishpaul: if it does not have a graphical login, you will have to do some configuring to get it to go
[23:33] <Jordan_U> polishpaul, You can usually switch to a different window manger ( note, not desktop environment ) by running "window-manager-name --replace"
[23:33] <Titan8990> polishpaul: if you are looking to "switch" to a different WM, as in use it all the time instead of another
[23:33] <pike_> mchan: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/excerpt/ssh_11/index3.html
[23:34] <unop> polishpaul, yea, that's the idea .. but see xinit(1) instead ..  something like.   xinit /path/to/xinitrc -- /path/to/X :2  # to start an x session on display 2
[23:34] <blue112> Problem fixed, the solution was to move the two bin files in /var/cache/apt/ into a temp directory. Thanks for help :)
[23:34] <Kidfork> I would like to make a playable DVD that i can play on my home DVD player, i currently have a .avi file, now how would i go about doing this?
[23:34] <mchan> pike_: thanks
[23:34] <nightrid3r> Kidfork: devede
[23:35] <pike_> Kidfork: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVDAuthoring
[23:35] <kouya> how  do i update a program ? ive seen something like sudo apt-get update <package> ?   or do i have to uninstall > install newer version of the program?
[23:35]  * macman leaves to test out airoscript
[23:35] <LinuxJunke> not sure what i need for the option field in x
[23:35] <Sanketsu> In gedit on my desktop running Ubuntu Intrepid, it's telling me that pluralized words like "words" or "fingers" are misspelled, where as "word" and "finger" is not.  Is there some way to get an updated dictionary for it?
[23:36] <blue112> See you :)
[23:36] <pike_> kouya: typically youd just sudo apt-get install gedit  then it would check to make sure its up to date if already installed
[23:36] <LinuxJunke> identifier what do you put into that field in x for dektop resoulution smaller im trying 1024x768 but i need an identifier what do i use???
[23:36] <hendrixski> HELP. my server can't seam to launch a process... so I tried "sudo shutdown -r now" and it didn't work.  now when I run top it has a few "Shutdown<defunct>" instances ... and I can't kill their pid's  :-(   what do I do?
[23:37] <woo> can anyone help with permissions t copy my files from one machine to a backup drive, wile in a livedisk enviroment
[23:37] <Jordan_U> hendrixski, Are you administering it remotely?
[23:37] <hendrixski> Jordan_U, yes.  Through ssh
[23:37] <pike_> woo: gksudo nautilus
[23:37] <martin___> HI all, anyone who can help me with a RAID issue?
[23:37] <phorensic> pike_: i think you can also use synaptic, aptitude to select packages for upgrade
[23:37] <hendrixski> when I log out and wait a while still the same situation when I log back in
[23:37] <martin___> I created a linux software RAID5 with 4 1TB disks, chunk size 128K and ext3 filesystem on it
[23:37] <polishpaul> ok, more comin' atcha - i want to try a new distro, install it on my laptop (lenovo t61 centrino duo 2gb ram) - I want it to be as efficient as possible, yet a work horse. I'm checking out "CrunchBang Linux" - any other recommendation?
[23:37] <pike_> woo: that doesnt address the root permissions issue but launches a file manager that has root permissions
[23:38] <martin___> Now the issue is I have really reasonalbe read speeds but unacceptable slow write speeds: Writing is only done at 2,8MB/s
[23:38] <pike_> phorensic: gui = bad :)
[23:38] <woo> pike cool
[23:38] <woo> Would my desktop and files on it all be in one folder?
[23:38] <hendrixski> polishpaul, there's a home-brewed distro in Poland. ... no?   Try that.  Support the ojscysna
[23:38] <woo> pike - Would my desktop and files on it all be in one folder?
[23:38] <pike_> woo: so what do you want to do now?
[23:38] <phorensic> pike_: haah true.. i think you can upgrade individual packages with sudo apt-get upgrade packagename
[23:39] <polishpaul> hendrixski, hehe i'll check it out! woot!! :D
[23:39] <LinuxJunke> pike can i give you a call man?? lol
[23:39] <polishpaul> I see Ubuntulite...hmm
[23:39] <woo> I'm trying to recover my files I'll then reinstall, I many months ago installed something and it screwed p my windows manager
[23:40] <woo> I have forgotten as much as I learned in not using it
[23:40] <adam__> Question: does anyone know of a tool that can take a "snapshot" of your system that you can turn into an install cd? I tried remastersys but it wasn't what I needed
[23:40] <hendrixski> soo... Anybody help me reboot my server remotely?  sudo shutdown -r now    doesn't work. :-(
[23:40] <pike_> woo: so what you want is to backup /home since that has all of your preferences and config and saved media and stuff?
[23:40] <kouya> can anyone explain how i install moblock?
[23:40] <Izinucs> adam_: partimage will mirror your partitions and allow you to "restore" them to another or the same drive
[23:41] <Titan8990> adam__: rsync makes snapshots but I doubt you can make an install disk out of it
[23:41] <woo> pike - i think so
[23:41] <adam__> hmm
[23:41] <pike_> woo: youre reinstalling ubuntu after this?
[23:41] <Titan8990> adam__: and well as parted and dd
[23:41] <adam__> Izinucs, Titan8990 : thanks, ill try those out
[23:41] <woo> pike - yes or maybe another distro more suited to ham radio
[23:42] <Izinucs> I'm trying to get Evolution to send an email via gmail.  I setup Imap on gmail and receive the headers and messages just fine.. I just can't get anything to send.. any suggestions?
[23:42] <martin___> none who can tell me why I have such slow write speeds on my RAID5?
[23:42] <Izinucs> woo. what are you looking for for ham stuff.?
[23:42] <Titan8990> adam__: partimage that was mentioned by Izinucs it is a GUI for parted
[23:42] <_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] <Titan8990> martin___: RAID is slower than single disk....
[23:43] <Titan8990> martin___: what type of RAID and how slow?
[23:43] <adam__> Titan8990: looking at partimage now, looks like what I might need, thanks =)
[23:43] <phorensic> Izinucs: Perhaps your gmail settings are not allowing
[23:43] <Izinucs> Titan8990: 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 RAID5
[23:43] <woo> all 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] <Izinucs> phorensic: works in thunderbird just not Evo
[23:43] <martin___> Titan8990: It's a linux software raid mdadm
[23:44] <martin___> Titan8990: with 4x1TB
[23:44] <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 sda1
[23:44] <Titan8990> martin___: That would be why, your CPU has to do ALL the work for the RAID
[23:44] <phorensic> Izinucs: 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 elsewhere
[23:44] <Izinucs> woo.  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 tab
[23:44] <Titan8990> martin___: You should consider a real RAID controller if you want to get good performance out of RAID
[23:44] <martin___> Titan8990: well the mdraid process is only using 10% of the CPU
[23:45] <Titan8990> Izinucs: I just checked, you are right, I was thinking of qtparted
[23:45] <woo> pike - i'm trying it now on the ther laptop, I have 3 in front of me at the moment lol
[23:45] <Izinucs> phorensic: 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 distrowatch
[23:46] <phorensic> Izinucs: I recall there being a gmail support on how to configure for various clients.. I'd look at that
[23:46] <Titan8990> martin___: you will still never see good performance from a softRAID5, typically you would only do a RAID1 or RAID0 with softRAID
[23:46] <phorensic> Izinucs: any reason to keep evolution?
[23:46] <Titan8990> martin___: I personally wouldn't even do that
[23:46] <Izinucs> pike_: 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] <cbwcjw> Izinucs: http://mail.google.com/support/?ctx=gmail&hl=en&labs=1
[23:47] <mfdavid> yey! my sound works now =)
[23:47] <ratpoison> hello! ubuntu 8.10 usr. I have port forwarding issues. How can I be sure that it's the router that is to blame and not the OS?
[23:47] <Titan8990> martin___: I have not personally tested it, so I couldn't tell you if those particular numbers are off but I can tell you that slow is normal...
[23:47] <pike_> Izinucs: radio stuff preloaded i guess.. like 'security' and pentesting distros
[23:47] <phorensic> mfdavid: what was it? Just needed to blacklist the onboard card???
[23:47] <Izinucs> phorensic: did look at it.. that's how I got thunderbird working.. and mutt.. but evo has calendar support etc. which I use in business.. I've been looking at OBM which is in the repos.. intranet web based.. http://obm.org/doku.php
[23:48] <woo> pike - (and pho...) ubuntu it is then. there was knoppix as I can't boot it propally i will give it a miss.
[23:48] <Izinucs> pike_: pretty lame for a fork.. the packages are too easy to install. most anyway..
[23:48] <mfdavid> phorensic: yes. just put on the blacklist and now its working fine. Anyway, i think its a bug... but at least its working now.
[23:48] <Jordan_U> ratpoison, what problem are you having specifically?
[23:48] <phorensic> Izinucs: Is there no calander addon for thunderbird? And also isn't that what songbird does too?
[23:48] <phorensic> mfdavid: Glad you got it to work
[23:49] <mfdavid> phorensic: :) thanks for ur help.
[23:49] <Jack_Sparrow> phorensic sunbird?
[23:49] <laeg-fail> i'm reinstalling my root partition and i have the root partition set to mount point: / - can someone just confirm that it's necessary for me to set my old almost full /home dir partition's mount point to /home and that doing so won't delete it or create a second home folder?
[23:49] <ratpoison> Jordan_U: My ports appear "closed" for incoming traffic, even though I have disabled the firewall (completely temporarily) and I have configured the router
[23:49] <Titan8990> Izinucs: http://tuxicity.wordpress.com/2007/03/08/howto-set-up-gmail-in-evolution-gnomes-mail-client-and-organizer/
[23:49] <Izinucs> phorensic: yes.. songbird does work.. ascetically it's not great.. I actually like kmail/address/calendar etc.. but it hasn't been the stablest..
[23:50] <phorensic> http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/ Jack_Sparrow
[23:50] <Titan8990> ratpoison: closed means there is no daemon listening on the port, "filtered" or "stealthed" typically means its being blocked by a firewall
[23:50] <Jordan_U> ratpoison, Could it be your ISP ?
[23:50] <unop> phobos_, songbird is not sunbird :)
[23:50] <ratpoison> Jordan_U: no, I specifically asked them and they said they're not blocking
[23:51] <pike_> ratpoison: add a line like Port 1234 in sshd_config and restart ssh. see if you can telnet to that port then or something
[23:51] <phorensic> unop: ahha yah thats what i meant to type
[23:52] <phorensic> unop: But i am phrensic not phobos :-p now were even
[23:52] <omnomnOMINOUS> Hi all! I have this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1051267. How can I tell whether iwlagn is the right wireless driver for me?
[23:52] <Izinucs> Titan8990: forgot to mention.. I have pop access working just fine. just not on the imap side.. :( looking at the link though for tips and hints.. thanks.
[23:52] <LinuxJunke> anyone still helping me with this isssue in here
[23:52] <phorensic> unop: phorensic**
[23:52] <phorensic> LinuxJunke: Still on that display issue?
[23:52] <unop> phorensic, bah .. anyway.  http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/
[23:52] <LinuxJunke> yes sir
[23:53] <phorensic> LinuxJunke: Did you try reinstalling the restricted drivers?
[23:53] <LinuxJunke> everything loads fine just you cannot see the the bottom of the desktop and the top no toolbars threshold is too damn big
[23:53] <LinuxJunke> yes tried reinstalling the restricted drivers correct
[23:53] <phorensic> LinuxJunke: As far as I remember you changed graphics cards then your display took a dive?
[23:53] <Izinucs> Titan8990: the link helped.. encryption was the key.. ssl for outbound smtp stuff and tls for inbound stuff.  Thanks.
[23:53] <LinuxJunke> yes
[23:54] <Titan8990> izmaelis: excellent
[23:54] <ratpoison> Titan8990:  nmap  79.103.184.197 -p 6891 -PN tells me my port is "closed"

[23:54] <phorensic> LinuxJunke: Ok yes this is where you have to look at the specs of your Display, and edit the settings in sudo vidia-settings to match those of your display.
[23:54] <estudiante> Dumb question, please don't tell me RTFM: How to make a wget download to another directory without cd to ti?
[23:55] <fuxxy> woot, got ubuntu back.
[23:55] <Titan8990> ratpoison: you are scanning your WAN IP, try your machines local address
[23:55] <phorensic> LinuxJunke: Or mayhe your tv has an option to adjust the aspect ratio??
[23:55] <LinuxJunke> negative 16:9 dosent work
[23:55] <fuxxy> estudiante, if you prefix your question with "please don't tell me to RTFM", chances are you are going to get exactly that response.
[23:55] <LinuxJunke> 32 inch crt television
[23:55] <Titan8990> ratpoison: also, you usually need to disable the security features of the router....
[23:55] <ratpoison> Titan8990: I know, shouldn't I do that if I want to check if I'm remotely accessible?
[23:55] <estudiante> fuxxy: and so?
[23:55] <fuxxy> estudiante, especially when a 'wget --help' will tell you.
[23:55] <LinuxJunke> max res is 1024x768
[23:56] <LinuxJunke> gforce fx5500 works flawlessly
[23:56] <Titan8990> ratpoison: yes but have you already established that it is local network accessible?

[23:57] <Titan8990> ratpoison: the daemon isn't listening then....
[23:57] <estudiante> fuxxy: It will, but will also flow me out with a lot of info, I'd like to learn about naturally,but, seeing that there's almot 1 at night here I just preferred to ask
[23:57] <mrglinux> in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.5  on ubuntu 8.10 when i want save a page and create folder after my folder create firfox doesn't open that folder and if i press save my page save in current folder not new folder... ago was not this ..  is it a bug ?
[23:57] <pike_> LinuxJunke: good thing im on arch atm http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=42821
[23:57] <Titan8990> ratpoison: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start
[23:57] <fuxxy> estudiante, well, I just gave your answer.
[23:58] <Titan8990> ratpoison: or: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart
[23:58] <Titan8990> ratpoison: if you have changed a config file
[23:58] <estudiante> fuxxy: Didn't want to upset or irritate, thank you very much.
[23:58] <phorensic> LinuxJunke: The modes are probably not all being read by new card and thus you need to input them manually in xorg
[23:58] <exodus_ms> wget -mk -w 20 -np webPage.html /path/to/dir/
[23:58] <ratpoison> Titan8990: yes I got that, wait
[23:58] <phorensic> LinuxJunke: But I can't help too much with that from here
[23:59] <pike_> LinuxJunke: one channel to try might be #mythtv-users im sure they have alot of exp with setting up tvout
[23:59] <phorensic> LinuxJunke: Remeber you will most likely have to restart your x session in order for the changes to appear
[23:59] <phorensic> pike_: LinuxJunke: That is a very good idea
